Tides Against Time: Cala Saldeta

After Diaja left the room Sesshomaru walked over to the wardrobe and began digging through its contents. Seeing a shawl hanging in the back he pulls it off the hanger and tosses it onto the bed. Looking back inside he sees a brown skirt with little white, blue and yellow flowers sown into it and a loose fitting white shirt with matching flowers. Laying them across his arm he walks over to the bed and lays them down next to the shawl. Opening a trunk at the end of the bed he pulls out two blankets. While he was doing this Kagome watched in confusion as to what he was doing. Why was he getting out more clothes? Did he not like what she wore? And why was he getting out more blankets? She already had the red one sitting on her lap. She was about to ask when a knock was heard at the door. Sesshomaru lays the blankets next to her clothes and walks over to the door. After hearing Sango speak the magic word through the keyhole he opens it for her to enter.

"My Lord, why have you pulled out a winter dress and heavy shawl for Kagome to dress in? I understand she is cold but she will be rather uncomfortable in that." Sango said as she picked up the gown off of the bed to inspect it.

"We will be flying on A-Un over a great distance. I do not wish for her to get any weaker while we travel." He said quietly as he took hold of the doorknob and turned his back to her. "I expect her to be dressed warm with our picnic supplies and at the gate by 2 o'clock. Try to keep our departure as quickly and as quietly as possible."

"Yes, Sir. She will be ready. Where is it you are going?" she asked curiously.

"It is best you are not informed. I will see you both at the gate. Do not be late." He said as he took a side-glance towards Kagome before leaving the room.

Sesshomaru then stepped out of the room and into the hallway. As soon as he closed the door Kagura stepped out of her room. She was dressed in a dark blue gown. Its corset was synched tight around her waist making her bust blossom at the top and rounded around her luscious hips. Her makeup was painted perfectly and her lips were a deep red. Her hair was curled loosely in a side ponytail and it came to rest just bellow her bust drawing the eye to their curve. If she wasn't who she was and he had known of her inner darkness he would have rut her on the spot. But because he knew who she was and what fake façade she portrayed he was sick at his stomach just looking at her. Her brown eyes caught his and she seductively flipped out her fan and hid her painted lips behind it.

"Happy Birthday my Lord…" she said as she tried to seduce him with her wicked charms.

"Thank you." He said shortly and began to walk down the hall towards his office.

"Wait!" Kagura said as she took hold of hem on his coat sleeve making him stop and turn to look at her over his shoulder annoyed.

"What do you want Lady Kagura." He said irritated.

"I... I Just wish to send you my sincerest apologies. I was embarrassed and did not act, as a Lady should have. Please… forgive my actions towards your people. I hope the human is enjoying her new dress?" she asked as she walked closer to him running her fingers in tiny circles up his arm and along his coat pocket on his chest.

When she was finished speaking she had successfully pressed her breasts into his arm and her neck was craned back so his eyes were drawn to her revealing deep cleavage line. Her eyes fluttered seductively and her red painted lips were parted slightly in the attempt to make him want to kiss her. Her perfume clouded her natural musk and even being this close he couldn't tell of her purity. He was disgusted. Taking hold of her hand in his he pulls her hands off of him and straightens his coat and tie before turning his back to her. As he walked away from her he answered her back with an aristocratic response.

"I appreciate your apology but the person you should be apologizing is not me. Also, the human has yet to receive your gift. It needed some… alterations to better suit her being ridden to a wheeled chair… and her good taste in fashion. Good day."

"Wait! My Lord?" Kagura called after him but he had already disappeared down the hall out of sight. "Damn it!" she said through a growl as she stomped her foot in defeat.

"You're loosing your touch Daughter." said the Duke as he slinked out of his room with angry eyes.

"I'm doing everything you've taught me and I've never failed before! I don't understand what I'm doing wrong!" Kagura defended.

"It didn't work because you're not the one he needs." Kanna said quietly as she came out from her room.

"What do you mean?" Kagura spat as she placed her hands on her hips angrily.

"You're not the one he wants. He doesn't need you." Kanna said as she pulled out her enchanted mirror.

There in the mirror was an image of him holding a woman in his arms. She couldn't see her face but by the tender embrace there was not doubt about it. Sesshomaru was cheating on her.

"That son of a bitch!" Kagura said as she snatched the mirror from her sister's hands and glared at the image in the mirror. "I could have sworn I smelled another female just now! No wonder my routine didn't work! That basterd has a hussy on the side and she's probably staying in my room! What do we do Father?"

"Leave everything to me. We could use this to our advantage. Keep trying to seduce him. A male always has a weakness and this female could be his. She could be the key to do exactly what we want. I'll speak to my informants and see what we can do about this interesting development." the Duke said as he looked into the mirror in his daughter's hands. "Now, go make yourself presentable for his birthday dinner. I did not make you beautiful to fail me now. I will not allow another chance for you to not sleep in his bed before they uncover your damn impurity slip away!"

"Yes, Father." Kagura said as she passed the mirror back into her sister's hands.

The sisters then stepped back into their rooms as their father made his way down the hall to go find his spies. These spies had planted within the castle 50 years ago and were now trusted workers and members of Spanish society; perfect for his plans. Unfortunately for him however, not two minuets later Sango opened the door he and his daughters had been trying to get into. Before sneaking out Sango checked the hallway to see if the coast was clear. Not hearing any approaching footsteps Sango pulls Kagome out of her room in her wheeled chair with the two blankets and picnic basket holding their dinner sitting on her lap. Sango then quickly pushed Kagome down the hall towards the back gate as quietly as she could. They had to hide behind pillars and linger in the shadows to keep from being seen. Sesshomaru had just finished his meeting with Jaken about his missing brother and to maintain the castle in his absence when he saw Sango and Kagome sneak down the hall in the shadows. Following their lead he slipped into the shadows behind them and made his way after them. As they went Sesshomaru was highly impressed with Sango's stealth and ability to quickly move Kagome about without drawing attention to them. He would have to keep her in mind for secret intelligence in the future. Sneaking out the back door Kagome and Sango quickly hide behind a wagon filled with barrels of produce. Seeing the guards distracted by the delivery they meander around the wagon and quickly crossed the gap between the castle and the castle wall.

Once on the other side they see one of the stable boys pulling A-Un towards them. As soon as A-Un picked up Kagome's scent he raced towards them ripping his reigns out of the stable boy's hands. The stable boy calls out for him to stop but was powerless to slow down the two-headed dragon. Sango was about to call for help when Kagome lifted up her hands to welcome the beast. They slowed to a stop right in front of her chair and their heads wrapped around her in a loving embrace. Their noses huffed and snorted as they took in her smell. Their forked tongues tasted the air making Kagome laugh at their tickling. It was just like the first time they had met and A-Un trembled with excitement. She patted their heads with her good hand while Sango began tying the picnic supplies to their saddle. Sesshomaru had watched the entire exchange from the shadows near the gate. He knew his pet dragon didn't warm up so easily to just anyone and it was another confirmation for him and his inner beast that she was the perfect mate for them. A-Un was known for being a great judge of character and had saved him on more than one occasion from shady characters when he had first became Lord. Seeing Sango attaching the supplies to his saddle he cautiously walks out of the shadow and dismisses the stable boy. Sesshomaru then picked Kagome up from her chair and lifted her onto the saddle. Once he felt she was stable he wrapped her legs with one of the thicker blankets to keep her warm. Double-checking to see if everything was tied down and secure he then climbed up behind her and took hold of the reigns in his hands.

"We will return just after sunset tonight. Please have a hot bath ready and her night routine prepared for her. If anyone asks where I went, tell them I am out with my cousin for my birthday." Sesshomaru said as he readied for take off.

"Yes, Sir. Might I make a suggestion?" said Sango stepping back from the dragon for them to have more room.

"What is it? Make it quick." Sesshomaru said as he watched more guards make their way into the castle grounds and feeling A-Un grow restless.

"Cover her mouth when you take off. This is her first time flying and I don't think you want everyone hearing her scream." Sango said with a wink.

"Hm. Very well, until tonight." Sesshomaru said as he kicked A-Un's sides and quickly slipped his hand over her mouth and took off into the sky.

(*** Peter Pan - 02 Flying (score) ***)

Just as Sango said Sesshomaru heard Kagome's muffled squeal behind his hand and saw her tighten her hold on the horn of the saddle. Once they were high enough and Kagome had stopped screaming he let go of her mouth and wrapped it to her tiny waist. He pulled her close to him and could feel her trembling. He heard her ragged breath and when he looked at her face he saw that her eyes were squeezed tight.

"Open your eyes Kagome." Sesshomaru said gently as he nuzzled into her neck and tried to calm her down.

He felt her shake her head in denial and he smirked in her hair. He asked her again but she refused to open them and wiggled her way closer to him. Feeling pride in her seeking his protection he wraps his arm tighter around her tiny waist and brings her closer to him. Rubbing his thumb tenderly over her waist he whispers in here ear again and says,

"I will not let you fall. Trust in your Sesshomaru and open your eyes."

After hearing him ask for her trust she took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes. How could she not trust him? He was her protector and she knew he would save her if she fell! When her vision came into focus she gasped at the beauty all around her. She watched in fascination as they sailing over the city. She saw the alleyways, marketplaces and people moving about the city. Even up this high she could smell the baked goods as they quickly flew by. When they cleared the city's boarder she saw the expansive farm land, vineyards and lush greenery flourishing everywhere. Horses, sheep and cattle grazed across the landscape and little dirt roads cut into the land. Looking up ahead of them she could see the beach and open sea in distance. Everywhere she looked the world around her burst with life and color; it was breathtaking. A bright smile spread across her face as she continued to watch everything pass underneath them and felt the salty breeze on her face. Sesshomaru couldn't help but smile at her sweet innocent nature. She was too cute when she encountered something new and exciting. It was clear she was enjoying the view and when he felt her finally relax in his embrace he speeds up a little. A-Un raced across the countryside and rocked from side to side, making Kagome giggle at his tease. Kagome watches in fascination as Sesshomaru steers A-Un with the reigns held in his grasp. Noticing her curiosity Sesshomaru takes his hand from around her waist and takes the other reign in it so there was one resting in each of his hands.

"Would you like to try? Place your hands in mine." Sesshomaru asked.

Kagome growing excited slips her hands into his and takes hold of the reigns. Sesshomaru intertwines their fingers making Kagome blush and flutter her eyelashes shyly at him. Seeing her so flustered so innocently he couldn't help himself in wanting to get closer to her. Leaning his chest against her back he brings his mouth back to rest at her ear. He tightens his hold around her hands and begins giving her lessons on how to steer his dragon. Soon they were sailing over the open sea and farther away from Valencia.

"Where we goez? asked Kagome after they had been flying east for little over 20 minuets.

They were now smoothly sailing over the vast sea and the salty breeze was gently blowing in their hair. Passing the reigns back to Sesshomaru she leaned to the side of the saddle and ran her hand along the sea's surface. The water rippled beneath her fingers and its spray flew out behind them casting a rainbow behind them as they flew. The water was cool to the touch against the warm spring afternoon.

"We are going to Cala Saldeta. It's a small-secluded beach on a nearby island. We'll be there in little over an hour." He said as he held her waist so she wouldn't fall in.

Watching her snuggle back under her blanket on her lap he worried if she was ok. "Are you keeping warm enough?" he asked.

"Jah, muchas gracias. Kagome good." She said as she reclined into his chest and rested her temple on his chin.

"Good. Then hang on." Sesshomaru said as he kicked A-Un's sides and snapped the reigns.

Kagome returned her grip onto the horn of the saddle and held on for dear life. A-Un raced forward and her hair whipped out behind her as they sped forward. Sesshomaru leaned forward caging her under him as he pulled back slightly on the reigns. A-Un began to go higher and higher into the sky and soon they were floating amongst the clouds. Once they leveled out again Kagome reached up above them and tried to catch a cloud in her hands. They looked so soft and fluffy. To her surprise her hands went right through them and they made her hands wet. She giggled at their ghostly touches and when they raced through one it explode around them. Sesshomaru loved the sound of her laughter and it warmed his soul to be able to experience this with her. Not wanting it to end he pulls A-Un's reigns again but this time makes A-Un pull back swinging them up and around in a circle. Kagome's laughter and joyful screaming filled the air around them as they went into another circle. They did this a couple more times along with some added spins and twists until they were both light headed from the rush. Kagome laughed until her stomach hurt. Never in her life would she have though her life as a mermaid would one day lead her to fly amongst the clouds like a bird! She was having so much fun and didn't want it to end but she knew her body needed rest. Relaxing into Sesshomaru's side they both comfortably rested in each other's embrace as they continued to make their way to their secret destination. About 20 minuets later the shape of the island begins to take form in the distance. Kicking A-Un's sides they descend from the sky and Sesshomaru lead his pet towards a small section of beach surrounded by trees and tropical flowers.

Pulling A-Un to a stop he jumps down from the saddle and leads him to a patch of grass where he could graze along the beach. Not wanting to have Kagome sit on the sand and get her clothing all dirty he began to set up the beach for them to rest on. He pulled off the other blanket they had brought and laid it out on the sand. Untying the basket and picnic supplies he lays them on each corner of the blanket so it didn't blow away. After seeing everything was in place he walked back over to his pet and reached up to help her down. Kagome places her hands on his shoulders while he rests his hands just above her hips. Carefully lifting her up and off the saddle she glides down his front. Neither of them however, were prepared for how they felt as their bodies slide against each other. Their touch was electric and the sensation of her chest rubbing along his while their lower body's heat momentarily came into contact nearly made them fall over. Unsure of what to do Sesshomaru lifts her legs up and carries her bridal style over to the blanket. Sitting her comfortably on the blanket he then rests next to her and begins to untie his shoes. Catching on to what he was doing Kagome does the same. Once they were comfortable Sesshomaru begins pulling out their dinner. Inside was sliced meat, cheese chunks, grapes, fresh sliced bread and a bottle of wine. Laying a napkin out in front of them he lays out the food for them to nibble on as they relaxed. After a while of relaxing and light chitchat Sesshomaru reclines back onto the blanket and soaks in the late afternoon sun. Wanting to relax too Kagome takes off her shawl and lies on her side and looks down as Sesshomaru.

(*** Relaxing Tropical Beach and Guitar Music ***)

He was so beautiful lying there and it made her heart swoon in longing. His silver hair lay about him on the blanket giving him an angelic halo. His markings glowed against his perfect white complexion and his strong chin and high cheekbones made her want to kiss him. He had one arm resting causally behind his head and the other laying comfortably over his stomach. He had taken off his coat and had unbuttoned his undershirt to help him relax unintentionally revealing his strong chest through its opening. She could see another magenta marking near his collar bone but couldn't tell where it continued under his shirt. Unable to help herself she continued her gaze down his form she could see him lightly breathing. His shirt was tucked into his pants and at this angle she could appreciate just how fit he really was. His abs lay flat under his hand and his hips were lean and strong. There was no hiding his package at this angle either. Even relaxed she could tell he was large and would make any other male jealous. Realizing what she was looking at she quickly continue her gaze down his body. He had one leg bent slightly and even through his pants you could clearly see his relaxed toned muscles. He had taken off his socks and she could see on his lean calves another magenta marking making its way up his legs.

"Does he have these markings all over?" Kagome thought to herself as she looked closer.

She had a feeling they did and wanted to see them with her own eyes but knew that would never happen. As she looked over his body Kagome didn't notice that Sesshomaru had been secretly watching her the entire time through half lidded eyes. He watched her face blush when she looked at his lower waist. By the spike in her scent he knew she was appreciative of what she saw making his inner male swell with pride and heat from her approval. He watched her continue to look him over and was curious to see what else she thought of him. She was now looking at his feet and saw curiosity run across her face. What had suddenly sparked her interest? She was about to reach forward and touch something when she quickly pulled back her hand.

"Do you like what you see?" he asked curiously.

He was truly curious of what she thought of him. He had watched her and his need to know if she desired him like he did finally pushed him to ask. He saw her body stiffen at being caught staring at his person and he smirked at her lack of response. He loved it how the blush spread across her cheeks again but was now a deeper shade of red. She hid herself behind her bangs and quickly turned away from him out of embarrassment.

"This is going to be good…" his beast teased in his head.

"Indeed" he answered back with an inner smirk.

(LEMON: I have marked where it ends if you wish to skip over this part)

Sitting up on the blanket he scooched up behind her and leaned his upper body against her back caging her beneath his weight. She was so tiny beneath him and the idea of dominating her built his desire to fill her womb with his sons even more. He brought his lips to her ear and whispers seductively into it making her shiver in want.

"What do you think of your alpha? he teased arrogantly to see what her reaction would be.

"Aa Al Alpha?" Kagome asked through a shaky voice as she continued to look away from him shyly.

"Hn... Am I not your alpha… Ka-go-me?" he teased again leaning further into her back and bring his legs to sit on either side of her.

"Yy yes." Kagome said as she pushed back into his chest. She liked the idea of him being her alpha and her arousal continued to rise as he started talking dirty to her.

"Good girl… now what do you like… about your alpha?" he said in her ear as he nuzzled her neck and slipped his hand around her waist pulling her lower body up against his.

"Oh gods..." Kagome thought to herself as she tried to process everything that was happening.

"Sessomaru?" Kagome asked as she closed her eyes in bliss as he began kissing along her neck and behind her ear.

"Tell me…" He demanded in a seductive whisper as he nipped at her ear making her gasp in want. "Tell your alpha."

Sesshomaru was having a hard time stopping himself. As her scent grew spicy and stronger his inner beast pulled harder on his chains. She was just too temping! Here they were… alone at last… with no one to interrupt them and she responded so strongly to his touches! He could tell she was being sincere in her want for him. He could tell from the smell of her innocence and the intensity of her rising passion that she wasn't playing him. She wanted him just as bad as he wanted her. She had always been honest with him and had never wanted him for his title or for his wealth. She had always seen him for who he was and knowing this only continued to fuel his inner fire. He had been telling himself that she didn't want him more than a friend but now he wasn't so sure by her responses and he didn't think he was going to be able to hold back anymore.

"Al… alpha… st…strong." Kagome said as she ran her hand over his arm along her waist.

When their fingers touched he locked them together and guided her hand with his to rest over her womb. Her lower body rushed with heat when he did this and she unknowingly pressed her rump further into him making his beast groan in his head from the sensation.

"Yes… I am strong." He said as he pulled her back into him a little more and slowly grinded gently into her making her gasp. "What else? Tell your alpha!"

As he said this he had gently pulled her legs open to now rested open between his with their knees bent causing her to fully trust her waist into him. She could feel his hardening member pressing into her lower back and the warmth of his chest soaking into her. His hot breath beat down on her neck and his kisses were slow and heated. Her heart swooned when he gingerly kissed along her beaten jawline and showered her in care and affection. As he continued down her neck he would suckle and nip leaving little pink marks as he went.

"Al..pha… b.. big… male." Kagome struggled to say as she leaned her head to the other side so he could give it the same attention as he had done on the other side.

"Hnnnn… yes. Your alpha is big. He is tall. He is strong. He is powerful… He is male…" He growled seductively as he leaned forward and pressed his weight into her back even more forcing her to lean forward slightly and press her butt further into him. When she did this his swelling member grinded harder against her rump while it sat in his lap.

His growl vibrated into her back and went all the way down into her feminine region. When he started speaking dirty to her she struggled to suppress a moan at the truth in what he said. He was everything she could ever want in a mate. He was the ultimate alpha male. He was strong, powerful and she knew he would be brave when need be and he had already showed to be a possessive protector. There was no doubt in her mind that he would also be an amazing father from the kindness and display of affection she had received from him over the past few days. When he pressed his hardened member against her she could feel his large girth's warmth soaking through her skirt and onto her lower heat. Yes, she could tell he would fill her to the brim and reach deep into her womb. She accidently released a mewl from her lips at the thought of it. How she wished to be swollen from his seed. She would have loved to of given him son after son through their mating. She loved the feeling of him already and felt so dominated by his power towering over her. It was the sexiest thing she had ever experienced and her womanhood ached to be touched by him. He was towered over her in every way and she felt so small under him. She had never been intimate with anyone before and had only heard of the pleasures of the touch from her gossip mates. She already felt amazing with him simple pressing into her and speaking his words of seduction. She couldn't even comprehend how wonderful it would be to actually have him stretch her and fill her deep inside. She knew if it would every happen she would have no other touch her like he was. This was something she wished only to share with him and him alone if he gave his love to her. She loved him dearly and knew she was going to die in two days so she would take whatever he would give her, even if that only was his gentle kisses and sinful words.

"What do you want of your alpha?" He asked as his other hand began to take hold of her skirt and slowly lift it higher onto her lap.

"Want…(gasp)" Kagome said before she gasped at his feathery-light touches running up her leg with her skirt. "Want you… al…alpha."

"What do you want? Tell me…" Sesshomaru commanded as he licked up her neck.

"Want… touch." Kagome said through her now ragged breath as his hand over her womb slowly began going south towards her now exposed legs and lifted skirt.

Sesshomaru could smell her heat and the thought of devouring her wetness made his mouth water in want. As his hand woven together with Kagome's traveled down her front, she grew warmer the closer they came and he couldn't wait to touch her sensitive heat.

"Where should I touch?" he asked as his hot breath beat down on her devoured neck and shoulder.

"Should I touch you here?" he asked seductively.

As he said this they reached her long underwear and he cupped his hand over her entrance making her groan at his touch. He felt her underwear soak under his hand and his member trembled and ached along her back in want. She smelled... delicious. He felt her trembled in excitement before pressing herself into his touch. He had to bite the inside of his cheek to hold back his own response from bliss. He began to rub small circles with his thumb over the long underwear along her entrance making her moan sexily. As he did this he brought his other hand up to cup under her breast.

"Or should I touch you here?" he said as he lightly squeezed her breast through her shirt.

He could feel her nipple pucker under his fingers and he lightly pinched it making her shiver. Kagome couldn't think straight as he began exploring her body. She had never felt these sensations before and she was over run with heat and it was becoming unbearable. Unable to answer him she simple nods her head and brings her hand up to join him at her breast. With both of their hands now tangled together Sesshomaru begins to torture her body. He rubs harder over her underwear along her entrance while he pulls the strings along her bust with his other.

Freeing them from their prison her large breasts hang loose in her shirt. Pulling down her sleeve over her shoulder with his teeth he slips his hand inside and covers her breast with his muscular hand. They felt better than he ever imagined they would. Her skin was as soft as silk and the weight of her breast was heavy; filling his large hands perfectly. Her nipples were a beautiful soft pink color like her lips and he wanted to taste them. Pulling the other sleeve down with his teeth he bends over her shoulder from behind and takes her other breast into his mouth. She tasted sweet like honey and he suckled like a starving pup. He couldn't get enough of her! His rough tongue slid across her nipple and he nibbled it between his teeth, savoring in her sweetness. When he did this Kagome cried out from pleasure. She pulled her hand from his that was around her breast and tangled itself in his hair. She pulled and pushed on his head as he tortured her breast only adding to their passion.

Her cries and his grunts of pleasure filled the air around them and it only heightened their desires. While he tortured her breast with his mouth his free hand devoured the other. Feeling Kagome begin to rub her legs together to try and relieve her ache he untangles his fingers from hers and slips his hand into her soaking underwear and touched her slick channel for the first time. She was so wet and he couldn't help himself from bucking into her rump to relieve so of his ache. The smell of her approaching release filled his nose and he moaned against her breast from anticipation. Rubbing his fingers in her nectar to prepare her for his invasion he then slips into her channel making them both moan in ecstasy. She was soooo tight against him as he tried to push into her. Feeling her hand on his arm to encourage his touch he pulls back out until the tip of his finger lingered at her entrance. Swirling it around the edge of her budding flower he then plunges into her again making her cry out in bliss. Feeling his own ache become unbearably painful he breaks his mouth away from her breast and licks and kisses up her neck while he gently lifts her from his lap and moves them into a doggy-style position. While he was still torturing her nether lips with his pounding finger his other arm slipped from her breast and hicked up her skirt so he could rest his hips along her backside. Kagome wasn't sure what all was happening but the new position excited her and she liked how his finger reached deeper and curled inside from this new angle. She heard him moving behind her but couldn't see what he was doing. It wasn't until she felt the heaviness of his chest covering her entire back and his hips buck up against hers that she understood what was happening. He mind was running a million miles an hour as he continued to rest up against her. Having him cage over her filled her in excitement and slight fear of the unknown.

Sesshomaru quickly undid his pants as he watched his finger continue to pound into her from behind. He loved the shape of her ass and slim waist. Her sweet dimples near her spine and her lean channel from this angle. He could see her nectar running down her legs through her soft patch of curls and heard its sloshing wetness from his pounding touch. The thought of him being what caused her to spill from her channel as she cried out in bliss only firmed his need. Crawling up her back he caged her beneath him like a true bitch and centered his hips up against hers. The feeling of her firm ass up against him was indescribable. True, this was not his first rut but never had he ever had a female fit so perfectly against him or raise his need so intensely! He rolled his eyes back into his head as he caged over her and slowly rubbed himself on her bare ass. He could feel the pre-cum seeping from his member already and he hadn't even entered her yet! How a little female could cripple him so he didn't know but gods... she was amazing. Sensing her mood shift slightly to anxiety, uncertainty and excitement he brings his mouth back up to rest at her temple. He knew she was a virgin from the smell of her. This only further built his inner fire to claim her as his and his alone. It did make him wonder if this was what she really wanted. He needed to know. He was so ready to claim her as his right now but he wouldn't force her into anything. He didn't want a simple rut; he wanted her forever! He wanted her and her alone! Screw the contract! He would find a way to get rid of Kagura, keep his family's honor and avoid war. He just knew she wasn't pure! He just knew she and her father were only after his title and power. She wasn't mating him for him or his love; and most definitely not for his future sons! Kagome on the other hand was different. He just knew it! He just had to ask. He wanted her, needed her, loved her and longed to fill her with his seed over and over again until the end of time!

"Kagome…" he whispered through a husky groan as he grinded himself a little harder into her backside, only further covering himself with her wetness and making her mewl in want.

Kagome rested the back of her head on his shoulder and looked into his eyes and continued mewled at the feeling of him. Her forehead was already sweaty and her bangs clung to her brow. Her broken hand that had been resting on top of his at her entrance came up to cup his cheek. Her other arm held her up in their position against him. He could feel her shaking form adrenaline and need. But he could tell she was also growing tired from over exerting herself. Pulling her hips up higher against him he watched as she momentarily closed her eyes at the feeling of his member resting along the outside of her channel and butt. He could tell she wanted him but he couldn't tell if it was just because she was attracted to him and was caught up in the moment like him or if it was something more. To help lift some of her weight off of her supporting arm he ran his hand up her cleavage line and brought her closer to his chest. His arm came full up her upper torso until it rested near her neck and collar bone. Wanting to shower ever part of her in his love he rubbed her neck with his thumb and nuzzled behind her ear. Seeing her blue eyes staring back into his he leans forward and rests his forehead on hers and looks deep into her eyes.

"Kagome... What… do you want… of your alpha?" he whispered as he tried to steady himself from loosing control.

"Al… alpha… onlyz" Kagome said with hooded lids as she lovingly touched his markings on his face. "Nnn...no onez else."

She wasn't sure what he was asking her but she wanted to tell him in her own way that she wanted him and him alone. It tore her apart that she couldn't kiss him or tell him she loved him first. She needed him to pursue her! She needed him to kiss her out of true love not lust!

"Kagome… I too only desire one. I..." He began but stopped when he felt Kagome flinch.

"So he is just using me for sex... How do I keep forgetting he has a mate-to-be?!" She thought to herself and sagged in defeat in his arms as her heart broke into a million pieces.

Sesshomaru was confused by her sudden retraction. Did he say something wrong? Did she miss understand what he had said? When she began to try and pull out of his embrace he began to panic.

"Hey hey hey… what's wrong? What did I say to offend you so?" He asked in a soft whisper as he pulled her back to rest in his lap.

"Odeir female… mate… no needz… Kagome." She said as she continued to try and pull out of his arms. "No givez away. Kagome… one onlyz. Kagome no wantz touch."

"You idiot! She thinks you only want to rut with her and then go back to that bitch!" his inner beast yelled.

"Kagome… please. Forgive me for upsetting you. I did not mean what you think." Sesshomaru said as he felt Kagome calm back down a little in his arms and look up at him in confusion with tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

Cupping her cheeks while threading his fingers through her hair he pulls her face close to his so he can look into her soul and tell her the truth from his.

"I only desire one Kagome... and I want it to be you." He said as he watched her tears escape and run down her cheeks.

"Mmm me?" Kagome said with wide eyes and disbelief written on her face. "Wh Whyz?"

"Silly little mermaid… do you truly not know?" he asked as he wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

Seeing her confused stare he lifts her chin up and begins to lower his lips to hers. Kagome's heart was pounding like crazy in her chest as she watched his head lower towards her. She began to close her eyes when she realized what he was about to do. She could feel his energy radiating off of him as he inched his way closer. Watching her accept his offered kiss Sesshomaru closed his eyes so he could savor in her touch. She could feel his closeness by his breath on her face.

However, just before they were about to share their first kiss a sharp pain suddenly runs up her chest, striking her in the heart. The pain was so intense it caused her to take in a sudden pain filled gasp and pull away from his approaching lips. Tears run down her cheeks through scrunched eyes as she clutched her chest in her hands. Hearing her pain filled gasp Sesshomaru opens his eyes in surprise and was horrified at the sight before him. Kagome was now hunched over in pain while holding her chest with tears running down her cheeks. He could see the agony written on her face.

"Kagome?!" He shouted in shock.

He tried to hold her in his arms but she cried out again when another attach hit her chest. Unsure of what to do he quickly fixes his pants and grabbed the blanket off of A-Un who had come running after hearing her cry. Wrapping the blanket around her he begins to pack their belongings. Once everything was ready he helped fixes Kagome's clothing so she would be warm on the trip back and carefully lifted her onto A-Un. Pulling himself up behind her he makes sure she was snuggled up tight before preparing for take off. Kicking A-Un's sides they take off into the sky and begin their long journey home. Kagome shivered under the blankets as he held her tight. She leaned close to him and he could feel her body growing colder as it seeped through the blanket. Going as fast they can without getting her too much colder they race across the sky. They were almost home when Kagome began to cough painfully. She brought up her hand to cover her mouth as she wheezed through struggling breaths. Unfortunately when she pulled her shaking hand back it was covered in blood. His eyes grew wide when he saw her blood covered hand. He could smell her fear and growing sickness. Fear unlike he had ever experienced before hit him like a tone of bricks when Kagome suddenly hunched over in pain once again and then went limp in his arms.

"Kagome! Kagome can you hear me?!" he shouted in her unconscious face. He lightly shook her shoulders but her head only slumped to the side. "KAGOME!"

Leaning over he rested his ear to her chest and found a very faint heartbeat. She was alive… but barely. He felt her chest tighten under his ear and lifted his head back up just in time to see her scrunch her face again in pain before she coughed through struggled breaths. He brought his hand up to hold her head steady and as he held her in his arms he watched as a small trail of blood leaked from her mouth onto his hand. He was horrified. Reaching behind him he pulled out the dirty beach blanket and wrapped it around her. Feeling her growing weaker by the minuet he kicked A-Un's side and they raced off into the sunset towards home.

"We're almost home Kagome, just hold on!" Sesshomaru cried as he buried his nose into her hair and held her tight in his arm.
