Chapter 51: Meeting her family & The need to feel
It was close to nightfall when three figures were spotted in the distance. Kikyo was in the library, reading a book when a servant knocked and opened the door. She rose her eyes to look at her.
" Yes?"
" Lady Kagome and Sango arrived, along with company."
" Company? What company?" she asked standing.
" A young ma..." the servant didn't even finish when Kikyo stormed out the door.
Kagome, Sango and Alex just stepped into the main hall when the doors on the left flew open. Alex quickly jumped in front of Kagome and took the big blow. Something bumped hard into him, but not hard enough that he would have to take a step back.
" What the?" he looked in his arms to find a chocolate-brown eyes staring confused at him. He arched an eyebrow, looking over his shoulder. " Kagome?"
Kikyo was stunned. Who was this handsome young man? She looked to his right to see Kagome. She pushed herself from his strong embrace and looked at the tow even more confused. Kagome smiled at the guy and then hugged her.
" Kagome, who?" she asked in a cold stern voice, looking at him.
" Oh, Kikyo, this is Alex. Alex, Kikyo, my sister." she made the introductions smiling. Alex eyed her from top to bottom then crossed his arms over his chest.
" Fef. Whatever." he waved a hand passing them. Kikyo was shocked. How dared him talk that way to royalty? She looked at Kagome's own stunned face, then back at him. He stopped and looked over his shoulder. " Are you going to stare at me for the rest of the night or are we going to eat anytime soon?" he asked slightly annoyed.
" Ahem." the three, since Sango went to her room to get changed, looked at the one who joined them. He looked at the girls and then at Alex. " And who might you be?"
" None of your fucking business!" Alex shot back gripping the sword ready to draw. Kagome came besides him and put a hand on his shoulder.
" This is my brother, Souta." she pointed to the man.
" Ah, so this is the wimpy brother of yours!" he exclaimed with a mocking grin. The guy fumed and he grinned wider.
" Alex!" Kagome warned.
" Fine, wench! I won't tease your fucking family anymore." she narrowed her eyes at this and retrieved her hand. She took two steps back and put her hands on her hips.
" Don't call me wench!" she eyed him.
" Fine! Bitch." he said under his breath, unfortunately for him, she heard it quite clearly and her hands fisted at her side.
" Uuu... Sit!" he paled! In a bilk of an eye he collapsed on the floor face first, leaving the other occupants of the room stunned. She was pleased now and turned to face her family. " Now, how about we get some dinner? I'm starved." they started walking when a muttering sound was heard. She turned to a flat Alex on the floor. " I'm sorry, did you say something?" Again the sound was repeated. She sighed and turned to Kikyo and Souta. " Go on ahead, we'll be there soon." they were looking suspicious at her but nodded and left. Kagome gave the others in the room a dismissing and a threatening look as well. When she was all alone with Alex she knelled next to him.
" Don't do that again." he said lifting himself on his elbows, with pain filled voice. He looked at her. She gazed in his violet-blue eyes. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes at the sudden pain that rushed through his body. " Hurts a lot more with this spell on. I don't know if I'd be conscious after two of them." she nodded, acknowledging his statement. He stood in a sitting position besides her. They were silent for a moment, just staring in each other's eyes.
" I'm sorry, I didn't know." she put a hand on his cheek studying the damage she made. Her gaze trailed from his deep violet-blue eyes, down his now swollen cheek to his bleeding lower lip. It had been less than fourteen hours since she last kissed him; and she's been longing for his touch and closeness ever since.
He stared in her beautiful eyes. He was feeling what she was, for he too missed her soft skin against his, her warmth and sweet taste. She leaned forward a little, eyes slowly closing... he couldn't take it any more! He got her by the collar of her kimono and forcefully pulled her to him, crushing his lips against hers.
She was slightly taken by surprise at first, but she was grateful for it. She moaned, wanting him to deepen the kiss. He didn't waste time, he took the chance immediately. She could taste his metallic blood, wanting more of him with every passing second. She started to lean back, pulling him over him. Then her eyed snapped open and so did his.
His eyes snapped open when he realized their compromising position and the possibility of someone walking in on them. He got up quickly and then pulled her up too. Then he wiped the blood off her lips and around them with his sleeve, and then cleaned his face as well. He looked at her bright-red cheeks. By the heat he himself was feeling, he didn't doubt the fact that his cheeks had the same color as hers.
" Sorry." he breathed. She smiled sweetly at him and gave his bruised cheek a light peck.
" Don't be... " they were nose to nose now. Each licking their lips thinking of their closeness. He wanted her then and there and she wanted him as well, but they couldn't have their relationship exposed.
" We should be going." he whispered.
" Yeah, god knows what they're thinking that we're doing." at this both started laughing and walking to the dining room. On the way there their laughter turned into giggles and chuckles.
They were still giggling and chuckling when they entered the dining room. All eyes turned in their direction, making them stop dead in their tracks. When no one made the slightest attempt of looking away they both spat out.
" What?" she asked nervously.
" What the fuck are you looking at?" He asked annoyed crossing his arms over his chest and narrowing his eyes in an offensive manner. At his tense expression everyone at the table muttered.
" Nothing." and then looked away minding their own business. Alex gave a nod to Kagome and they went to sit at the table. Kagome took a seat but Alex remained standing by her chair. She wanted to tell thin to sit besides her but chose not to, so she started eating.
Alex was thankful that she understood him. He was her protector after all and it would look bad if he sat near her. It was an uncomfortable silence for a while, but it was soon shattered when the doors were opened and a loud squeal ringed through the room. Alex turned first to see a woman running towards Kagome who was standing startled. He got in front of her, blocking her view. The woman stopped, noticing Alex for the first time.
" Alex." she said and gave a nod when he glanced towards her. He stepped aside and Kagome hugged the woman tightly. " I've missed you."
" I've missed you too, sweetie." Kagome let go of the woman and saw from the corner of her eye how Alex tensed.
Looking at the door she understood why. There stood a tall, white-haired inu-youkai. His piercing emotionless eyes studied the occupants of the room. Then he reached to his left and took a sword. With demon speed he charged towards Alex, but then, in the last second he turned to strike Kagome.
Alex appeared out of nowhere besides him, surprising the youkai. At this Sesshomaru lost his concentration for a mere second and that was a fatal mistake. The sword would have pierced through Kagome's heart if Alex wouldn't have protected her with his own body. The sword was shattered to pieces the instant it came in contact with his clothing.
Everyone at the table was in complete awe. Sesshomaru raised a delicate eyebrow. The clothes of the young man, that succeeded in blocking his attack, flashed from their previous color which was a dark-blue to blood-red and back. Alex lowered his hands, which he had held in an X position to protect his face and neck, to reveal a mocking smirk. Yes, he got the flash of surprise in the youkai's eyes even if the others didn't.
Silence filled the room as no one dare to speak or even move, until Alex said in a mocking voice.
" Please, Kagome, let go of me so that I can play." he begged.
" No." she said firmly.
" Aw, come on. Please?"
" No." she moved to be in front of him. " Alex, I said no. " she stated pocking him in the chest with her finger.
" Kef!" he crossed his arms over his chest. Kagome turned to Sesshomaru and narrowed her eyes.
" What were you thinking?"
" That is non of your concern." he said emotionless. She sighed and nodded for the new guests to join them. It was silence until the end of dinner, when the problem of where should Alex sleep came.
