Ch. 25: Drastic Measures
Kagome carefully peeked around the corner of the hall to get to her first class of the day. She had snuck out of the room with out her guard dog of a boyfriend knowing. He had gotten a little more possessive since they hooked up again, that and clingy. She remembered waking up next to him this morning and tried to get up so that she could get ready for class. He was still sleep so she thought about letting him sleep since he didn't have classes that day. She tried to wiggle away from him but his arms tightened and pulled her back into him. He growled in his sleep before saying, "My pillow."
Kagome called for help after trying to get away for some time and Ayame walked in trying to hide the laugh that struggled to come out.
"Help me get loose, I have class in like thirty minutes and I would like to get ready." Kagome said still trying to get free.
Ayame went over to them and tried to pull Kagome but Sesshomaru's grip tightened so much that he threatened to snap Kagome in two without realizing it. Ayame then decided that they would need more help. Inuyasha came in and started to try to pry his arms open.
"N-nh mine…MINE!" Sesshomaru growled, fighting and holding on to Kagome. He actually snapped at Inuyasha.
"It's no use, his ass won't move and I don't want to get his rabies." Inuyasha said as he stopped trying.
Kagome wanted out and she wanted out now. "If you don't get me free right this instant then you won't get anymore ear rubs from me!"
Inuyasha jumped up and used whatever strength he could posses to pry his brother's arms open. He really did like getting his ears rubbed.
She was finally freed and Sesshomaru curled up in his sleep but frowned when he found out that his 'pillow' was missing. He reached out and waved his arm around trying to find Kagome. Kagome moved out his way just as he was about to catch her.
"Thanks guys, I really appreciate it." Kagome said as she moved back a little but the moment she moved back, Sesshomaru grabbed her by the waist and pull her into back to him.
"Mine." He mumbled as he put on a smug smirk and nuzzled her hair.
After minutes of pulling again, she avoided being grabbed by him again and hurried off to get ready and then went to class. She knew that Sesshomaru would be looking for her whenever he got up, she could handle him when he was awake but she still wanted some peace before he drowned her in his affection.
She giggled a little at the memory. He was too cute like that. Before she even took a step in, she was pulled in, pushed into the wall, and then given a long kiss.
"You didn't give me a morning kiss, why didn't you?" He said as he kissed her again.
"Well I didn't want to wake you up this morning, you looked real peaceful." Kagome said taking in long gaps of breath.
"Well now I'm going to have to punish you." He said as he moved closer to her. Just as he was about to capture her lips again…
"Not this again, I thought you two grew up over the winter brake. Could you please do that outside this class room?"
Both Sesshomaru and Kagome were still as they were as if they didn't hear but the only way that everyone did was when they saw the red blush that spread across her face and a slight, almost unseen, frown on his face.
"A class room is no place for this foolishness." The voice said again. Sesshomaru slowly turned to see the annoyed teacher that they had last semester and their classmates wondering what they were going to do next. Sesshomaru pulled back from her and smiled as he turned to leave the class. "I'll be waiting on you roomie."
She sighed as she watched him walk off, she felt like going after him, she hates how he has the power to turn her into putty but she suppose it's almost like the same for him.
"Well ma'me, are you going to sit or what?" The teacher snapped pulling her out of her thoughts. She sighed and sat in her seat in the class. 'Maybe I should have left.' She thought as the teacher started giving a very boring lecture.
After struggling to stay awake for the fifty-minute class, it finally came to an end. She slowly walked out and stretched her unused muscles only to be grabbed by Sesshomaru and pulled into him.
She smiled as she looked up at him. "Fluffy evil, let me go." She laughed as he nuzzled her neck tickling her at the same time.
"I don't wanna, can't you just skip the rest of your classes. We would have the room to ourselves since Ayame and Inuyasha are in class."
"No I can't do that, you will not turn me evil no matter how tempting you are. Bad puppy." He whimpered a bit trying to convince her then sighed when it didn't work. He perked up when she said, "I don't have a class right now though, I'm free until 11:00."
He smiled slyly as the mischievous glint shown in his eyes. "You have to promise that you don't do anything drastic though, and you know what I mean."
He felt the urge to roll his eyes but instead of doing that, he just took her hand and led her back to their room.
A few short minutes later…
Kagome was slammed down against Sesshomaru's new bed. His lips were hungrily attacking her neck and his hands were trying to find their way up her shirt. This was not Kagome's idea of not doing anything drastic.
They were only supposed to make-out, tickle each other here and there, and nuzzle one another. She should have known, he never means what he says but was Kagome going to complain, hell yes…right after he finishes running his tongue along her collar bone, and kissing her neck, and nipping at her…
"Sesshomaru…stop you're…going to give…me a hicky." She strained to say. She may be able to control him but he could control her as well. His effect on her was even greater than she thought.
"And what's wrong with that? Besides, it's too late." He mumbled against her skin sending chills running threw her.
"You're being a very naughty puppy fluffy evil."
"But it is you being the naughty one roomie." One hand ran up her leg that she didn't realize was curled around him. She moaned low feeling his hands threw the material of her pants, suddenly the clothes weren't useful to her anymore and highly annoying.
"See, I told you."
Kagome glared at him when she gained some control but to him, it was one of the most sexiest looks that she ever made him with her glazed over eyes, swollen lips parted, and her face tinted in a rosy color. She then panted out, "Oh yea, let's see how you like it."
She bought his face down to hers and slowly licked the side of his cheek while one hand went up his shirt letting her blunt nails lightly scratch him. The other hand stroked the back of his neck then eventually switching to his ears, his biggest hot spots. He groaned and then purred loudly letting her giggle before he silenced her with his mouth. She knew that she wasn't going to get out of this now. Well she had over two hours to spare so what the hell. She could be angry with him later.
While the two of them uh…well, meanwhile…
Naraku was fuming. It didn't work it just didn't work. Sesshomaru won every single time, was it his fate for his status to be under the Taisho's? Did his father set up how his life was going to end up? If he were to have children, would they have to suffer the same? No, he had to change it, he would not be under a dog. What was left for him to do? His plan had failed greatly and that was something that he knew would be the thing to work. He watched Sesshomaru panic from a corner the day after the break up. So what was the flaw?
"Kagura." He growled out. He knew that he shouldn't have gotten her to aid him, she was really but a useless pawn anyway. Well if you want something right, you have to do it yourself but first he had to take care of her.
Just when he was thinking about her, the door opened and there she walked in from another day of stalking Sesshomaru. It wasn't as if she was afraid to go up to him when Kagome was around, no, some little human isn't going to keep her away from her goals. I mean she had no one to back her up anymore and she was the laughing stock of the campus now so there's nothing to be afraid of. Not to mention that Sesshomaru still wants to kill her but gives an excuse of not wanting to touch any more of her then from what she made him do. He'll still do it in a blink of an eye if she pisses him off again though.
Kagura walked in slumped over with a pout on her face without realizing her brother was sitting there with his eyes following her. She had been avoiding him mainly because of the whistle incident. There won't be no avoiding him this time.
"Kagura." He said ever so calmly. Kagura froze right on the spot. How could she not notice him there, his aura that was radiating off him was dark and evil, it filled the room and now that she noticed it, she was suffocating.
She drags in a breath and slowly turned to him. He looked calm and pleasant. Too calm and too pleasant. She opened her mouth to speak but found that she couldn't, it was hard to breathe enough so speaking was out of the question.
He then said, still with the illusion of being calm, "My dearest step-sister, I loaned you a very rare and priceless whistle, probably the last in existence, to control a certain foe of mine and get him out of my way. I have a very important question to ask you, answer truthfully otherwise you'll regret answering at all."
Kagura still haven't moved. Her mind was screaming for her to run but her body was too stiff. She knew exactly what he was going to ask.
"Where is the whistle?"
She started quivering in fear, he was the only one who could scare her. He was cruel and did anything to get what he wants.
"I uh…I…" She stuttered when she found and then lost her words.
She became even more nervous when she saw him stand and walk closer to her. He stood in front of her and placed a hand under her chin, letting his thumb stroke her cheek.
"So, where is it?"
She mumbled something incoherent while trying to look anywhere but his eyes. His hand under her face cupped her chin tight to the point where he would leave a bruise.
"Where. Is. It."
"I…I lost it okay!" She blurted out.
He snapped his hand from her chin then stood there before he slapped her. The blow was so hard that she got whiplash and then fell to the floor.
"I knew you were useless for my plans in the beginning, and to think I thought something better of you." He said as he turned away finally showing how angry he was. "I've should have did everything myself from the beginning. You're so useless."
He then left out the room leaving her to sulk.
A half dressed Kagome had scrambled out the room her trying to close the door behind her but there was a very strong pull that kept it open. She was running late and somebody decided that he wasn't done with her yet. She couldn't even take a quick shower with out him picking the lock and trying to seduce her again. A still nude Sesshomaru growled playfully, he was only toying with her and she knew that, he only had one hand on the door while she used two. He could easily pull the whole thing off its hinges with that one hand.
'It's no use to hold this door.' She thought and with that she ran for it. He was still toying with her, not using his speed to move in front of her. Although frustrated at the thought of being late for class, she was highly amused. She somewhat loved it when he did this, it made him act like a playful dog.
Just when she touched the door, he reached out, grabbed her hand, and pulled her back into him. He nuzzled her neck and was prepared to pick her up, throw her over his shoulder, and then go back to the room but he does care about her getting her education just as much as she does, he just wanted to see her expression.
"Come on fluff, I'm going to be ten minutes late if you don't let me go now."
"I want more." He mumbled.
"Greedy, you can't have everything all the time."
"But you are mine and I want you now."
She was about to protest to the obvious 'my property' comment he made but couldn't find her words when she felt the tips of his fangs graze across the skin on her neck. He slowly closed his mouth on her jugular causing a throaty groan escape from her. He clamped down just a little harder, just enough to break the skin and draw small droplets of blood. He could have gone further if it wasn't for the fact that the door came open.
"SHIT SESSHOMARU!" The door was slammed shut and they both heard threw the door, "You have a whole room and Kagome's room to rut in! If you planned on scaring me for life then congratulations."
Sesshomaru growled, Inuyasha always had a way of ruining the mood. Kagome took this chance to slip away and run off to her class. He just watched as she left knowing that playtime was over…for now. He went back to his room to put on some clothes to spare his brother from having to gouge out his eyeballs and dip them in disinfectant.
Kagome was on her way to class but her normal speed walking pace was reduced due the fact that the lower half of her body was in pain.
"I have no idea why I encourage him so." She sighed as she walked on.
Kagome felt a hand come around her waist. She rolled her eyes. It seems as if he wasn't going to let her go after all.
"Sesshomaru, please let me go to class." She pleaded as she turned only to wish that she'd hadn't.
"I'm tired of you confusing me for that mongrel." It was Naraku and he looked insane with the crazy evil genius look he had.
Kagome tried to make a run for it but there was no way that she could run in the condition she was in.
'You are so going to pay when I get my hands on you Sesshomaru.' She thought still trying to run but she skidded to a stop seeing Naraku appear in front of her. She was about to turn and go the other way but he punched her hard in her gut, knocking the wind out of her and allowing her to slip into unconsciousness.
Sesshomaru was waiting very impatiently for Kagome to return, he was the equivalent of a dog waiting for its master. He was sitting on the couch shifting every three minutes and constantly changing the channels.
"Sess, could you chill out please, all of your fidgeting is making me fidget." Ayame said as she shifted in her seat.
"What's taking her so long?" He ground out between his teeth. Kagome only had two other classes so she should have been back…what, three hours ago?
"Maybe she has tutoring?"
"She would call me then. That's it I just can't take it anymore. I'm going to find her."
Sesshomaru stood up and left. Once outside, he let his nose go to work. He hoped to get some clue to where she was. While he sniffed around, he checked around her classes, He could find no scent of her even near the building. Where could she be?
"Sesshomaru!" He heard from behind him. It was Yura and Sara and they looked as if they've been running all over the campus.
"What is it?" He said as he turned to them.
"We've…been looking…all over for you." Yura panted as she and Sara slowed to a stop.
"What's wrong? What do you need me for?"
Both girls looked up at him then Sara said, "We saw Naraku following Kagome, we think he's up to something."
"What! Why didn't you come to me sooner?"
"We've been looking all over for you duh! The only one who knows where you live is Kagura and she's not going to tell us."
Sesshomaru looked around and cursed. "Tell me which way they went." He ordered rather than asked.
They gave him all the details of what they say and he was on his way. He was livid, Naraku did some crazy stuff before but this just topped everything, he must really want to die.
Kagome slowly regain consciousness but when she looked around everything was dark.
"You're finally awake, good. I wouldn't want you to miss out of the fun because you was sleeping."
Kagome looked up when a dim light came on and saw Naraku clad in sweatpants sitting in a chair beside in a room at some hotel. She then tried to get up only to discover that her ankles were tied to the ends of the bed.
Naraku reached over and forced her head to look at him. "Now now, there's no need to waist your energy, you're going to need it."
Kagome spitted in his face and he growled and pushed her away before standing up. "I'll be right back."
He then walked over to the bathroom and closed himself in. Kagome wasted no time, she tried to untie the ropes around her ankles. When that didn't work, she tried to look for her phone.
"Of course he wouldn't leave it on me."
She then saw the hotel's phone sitting on the nightstand. She was grateful for his stupidly then reached out for it but it was a bit too far from her range. A bit more and she finally got a hold of the phone cord. She dialed Sesshomaru's number.
"Hello?"
Kagome smiled brightly hearing his voice but hid her excitement and whispered, "Sess, Naraku kidnapped me."
"Kagome, where are you?" He sounded extremely worried.
"I don't know, all I know is that I'm at some hotel."
"Look around for clues or anything."
She looked around but couldn't find the name of the hotel anywhere. "I can't find anything but out the window I see water."
"Damn it, there are too many hotels by water. Alright, just stay calm, call the police and I'll keep searching for you."
She did as she was told and contacted the police.
"Hello…my name is Kagome Higurashi and I've been kidnapped by a demon…no I don't know where I am and…"
Before she could say anymore to the operator on the other line Naraku came out the bathroom growling. The operator heard the growl and her scream before the phone line went dead. Naraku tore the phone out of the wall.
"I didn't think to hide the hotel's phone. It would be too late anyway, by the time anyone gets here, you will forever be my mate." Naraku said as he crawled on top of her and pinned her body down.
"EWW! Get off of me you roach!" Kagome yelled out trying to move but wasn't able to.
Naraku chuckled at her and then said, "Actually I'm a spider demon."
"Who gives a damn, spiders are still gross like roaches."
Naraku smiled menacingly as he pinned her down and slowly inspected her body. He only saw one thing that was a flaw to him, four very small puncture marks on her neck. He growled knowing that it was Sesshomaru who put it there but it wouldn't matter, it wasn't a true mating mark so he still haven't truly claimed her yet.
"The fool, he'll regret not claiming you when he has so many chances, you will make an excellent trophy." Naraku said as he lowered his head to her neck and kissed her.
"I belong to no one especially you!" She yelled out in anger.
Her fear of him was gone completely and then she could feel something happening with in her, almost as if her aura was stretching out and surrounding her. It was how she felt when she beat that lizard boy who was hitting on her and when she punched Kagura only stronger. She saw a bright pink light that just about blinded her and then she heard a painful scream. Soon, she found that she could move and when she could see again and the ropes around her ankles had burned off. Naraku was on the ground across the room looking as if he was in pain. His skin was smoking as if he was burned.
Kagome was looking at her hands with shock while he looked up at her with wide eyes and said, "What the hell was that!"
She looked at him with eyes still wide and blurted out, "I don't know!"
Naraku was beyond pissed now, he just wanted to fuck her, mark her, and piss Sesshomaru off, but now it's proving to be more difficult than he thought. He was thinking that whatever just happened won't happen again so he stood up and walked over to her.
Kagome looked up at him and realized that now wasn't a great time to figure out what just happened. She was free this was her chance to get away from him. She stood up from the bed and made a dash to the door but Naraku used his demon speed to block her. He slapped her hard making her fall, bruising her cheek, and splitting her lip then walked over and kneeled when he got in front of her.
"See what you made me do, you made me ruin those soft delicate lips, no matter, there is still enough of you to keep me entertained."
Kagome could feel the tears build up in her eyes, she just wished that this was a bad dream and that she would wake up soon next to Sesshomaru and safe in his arms.
Time seemed to slow down as Naraku continued to raid her body and moved closer to claim her lips. Time sped up again when Naraku disappeared from being just centimeters from her face.
She blinked a few times still sitting in the spot shat she looked around frantically, was she imagining everything and just somehow ended up in that hotel room somehow? A painful scream and a growl snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked to the side of her and she relaxed completely seeing Sesshomaru holding Naraku up on the wall by his neck.
Naraku was losing his breath and not only that but he could feel Sesshomaru's claws lengthen in his neck and the burning around the claws told him that the taiyoukai was slowly but surely letting his acid run threw his claws. Naraku looked into his eyes and saw that they were blood red, the look of eternal suffering if not definite death.
"Oh Shit." Was all Naraku hissed seeing Sesshomaru's fist pull back.
Kagome watched in amazement as Sesshomaru's fist seemed to vanish. He was punching the half-demon's face in so fast, she didn't know where Sesshomaru's fist started and Naraku's face ended. She slowly stood and walked over to them.
Sesshomaru snarled, his eyes getting darker as he continued to pound him. Amazingly, Naraku was still alive, unconscious but still alive. Sesshomaru was going to make sure that he suffered.
Just as his fist was about to connect to Naraku's face once again, he paused. Kagome had put her arms around his waist and laid her head on his back. He felt his beast calm down and his rage dissipate. He dropped Naraku and stood there for a while with her arms around him then closed his eyes. A minute or two afterwards, he opened his eyes, which had turned back to their golden color, and sighed.
"Are you alright?" He said, his voice was ragged, he was still trying to come back to himself but for the most part he had gotten control of his beast.
"Never better." She said still holding him.
He turned in her arms and tilted her head up to kiss her. He kissed her with all the passion that he could possess in his being then wrapped his arms around her.
"FREEZE! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!"
They both looked to the door to see seven police officers four had tasers and the two had handguns and the other one with a rifle.
Sesshomaru could feel his beast rise again with this interruption, he was fed up with someone always barging in on their privacy. He hissed at the officers not realizing the impression he's giving them. They jumped and one shot his taser at him. Sesshomaru growled feeling the electric shock, his eyes bled red and his anger turned to the officers.
"Hey stop, don't do it!" Kagome said to both the officers and Sesshomaru knowing that things could get worse.
The other officers shot him with the tasers anyway. Sesshomaru stiffened feeling the painful voltage from the four stun guns and was about to fall over but he stood strong and held his ground.
Kagome ran over to the officers and grabbed on to one of them. "Stop it, you're only making him angry."
The officer that she grabbed on to just roughly pushed her behind him and said, "Calm down miss, everything's going to be fine, just let us do our job."
Kagome was about to protest but a roar from Sesshomaru silenced her. Seeing her being handled roughly and then standing behind another male was the thing that made him snap. Sesshomaru strode over claws drawn and fangs showing. The officers stood strong, they were still trying to shock him into submission but seeing that it wasn't working, it was time to go to step two.
The man with the rifle took aim at his chest and fired.
"SESSHOMARU!" Kagome yelled as she saw him stop in place.
Sesshomaru reached up at the place he was shot but found that he couldn't. His arm dropped suddenly losing feeling in it and then he fell unconscious. The officers then moved in and pulled out a dart that had injected him with a very powerful tranquilizing chemical only used for demons before putting demon handcuffs on him.
"Officer, please stop. You have it all wrong!"
"Sorry but no can do ma'me, we got a call from a girl, you I assume, was kidnapped by a demon. You are safe now, I'll have one of the officers escort you to a hospital to get you checked up." The officer said and then left with his other men to go drag Sesshomaru out the room and to check up on Naraku.
She was about to tell them that they have the wrong guy but another officer pulled her with them to take her to the hospital. She didn't go quietly but when they threatened to inject her with the demon tranquilizer, she closed her mouth quickly.
Once at the hospital, she was able to call Toga and let him in on the situation. The doctors wouldn't let her out for the night, they found something out with her in one of her test which just so happens to be her newly found miko powers. It was what saved her the first time. In the morning, Toga quickly came over and picked her up before heading to the station where the holding cells were.
Sesshomaru sure did have a mighty long death list now and every single officer that had part in his capture was on it. He'll have to be put in jail for real then. They had laid him on a bed in a cell after removing the taser electrodes from him. When he woke up the next morning, he found that he couldn't control his limbs so he waited until he could. It was an excruciating twenty minutes but he was able to move again.
He growled when he smelled one of the officers coming his way. It was the very one who shot him first. The man hesitated hearing the clear warning coming from the strong demon.
"You're a bit cranky, woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" The officer joked trying to lighten the mood but failing when he saw Sesshomaru's eyes flash red.
"Well I have some good news for you, you're free to go, sorry for the misunderstanding." He said shyly. "Also we have someone here for you."
The man opened the cell and stood back in a far corner, wary of Sesshomaru knowing that he is beyond pissed.
Sesshomaru stood up from the bed and slowly walked out the cell. He narrowed his eyes at the officer and glared at him coldly. Just as the officer was squirming, he heard, "Sesshomaru?" and turned to the direction of the voice.
Kagome ran over to him and embraced him tightly. His nose automatically dove into her hair, taking in her scent and calming him fully. He glared at the officer once more before losing himself in her scent.
They left soon after Toga signed him out then came looking for them. Back on campus, Sesshomaru growled at every person that they passed. Even Inuyasha was growled at when they reached their room but Kagome was able to calm him with a good ear rub while watching a good movie together.
Sometime in the middle of the movie Kagome started laughing.
Sesshomaru turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "Care to tell me what you find so amusing?"
Kagome calmed down and said. "Oh it was just how you ended up in there. When I called the cops, I told them that a demon kidnapped me, they must have thought you were the demon."
"Does it look like I'm capable of kidnapping anything?"
Kagome looked up with an eyebrow raised and a finger tapping her cheek before saying, "Yes you would."
Sesshomaru glared at her and said, "Stop doing my thing."
Kagome laughed a bit more as she snuggled into him. Sesshomaru put his arm around her. Content with finally getting what he wanted, he tilted Kagome's head up to meet his and kissed her deeply. Kagome, happy to feel his lips on her rather than the evil creep, she opened her mouth for him, letting him deepen the kiss. He deserved it since he saved her.
He was getting needy and pulled her shirt off, letting his claws run against the skin of her back. Kagome had her hands up his shirt as well, trying to pull it off. He helped her then continued. Sesshomaru now had his hands at the sides of her pants. They had to go now. He slowly pulled them down and right when he was about to grab her butt, and a door just so happened to open during the time.
"AHH! NOT AGAIN!" Inuyasha screamed as he ran back into his room and slammed the door shut. Kagome was about to get up, embarrassed at being caught...again and about to go and get Inuyasha but Sesshomaru stopped her.
"Oh no you don't, let the half-breed sulk, he knew what was going to happen." He pulled her back into him and continues on their plans to spend the evening together.
Neither could ask for a better way to spend their time together and with all interruptions aside, they were going to make the best of it.
A/N: Well there you have it another chapter down. This is actually the last chapter, but don't fear, I have an epilogue on the way. Well that's all I got to say. Enjoy and review please.
