(Kag and Sess arrive back at Kagome's house and they get a bit friendly! But before things could progress, Kagome gets a surprise!. As always, Inuyasha and co belong to Takahashi Rumiko ::bows:: et al.)
Five Days In Tokyo - or - Sesshoumaru's Unlikely Visit - Fifteen
Kagome was surprised when they at last reached her house. The front door looked as though nothing had happened to it and all was very quiet. Kagome reached for the door when Sesshoumaru said, "Wait." Kagome froze for just a moment and then looked at Sesshoumaru puzzled. The youkai lord did not sense Hadori or any weaker youkai in the vicinity, but he went ahead of Kagome and opened the door anyway.
~He's protecting me..~ Kagome felt a warm flush cover her body. ~ And I bet he'd never admit it either. ~
She stepped inside and noticed that although there were still some broken things that were on the floor from when they had crashed against the wall, everything else looked fairly normal.
"Mama?" Kagome called. "Sota? Grandpa?"
But there was silence - all except for Buyo, who bounded into the room and headed straight for Sesshoumaru.
"Mow? Rowr?" The cat proceeded to rub against Sesshoumaru's legs and the youkai-lord looked a bit annoyed. Kagome giggled, relieved of her disappointment for just a moment. Sesshoumaru pretended that the cat wasn't there as he stood regarding Kagome and the play of emotions on her face. He could sense her deep sense of disappointment upon finding no one home, but he wasn't sure how to comfort her at all.
Suddenly Kagome thought that perhaps she could check the answering machine. Surely someone would have tried to reach her. She went over to the answering machine as Sesshoumaru followed her like a shadow, intently watching what she was doing.
~More buttons..~ Sesshoumaru frowned. ~ These humans rely on their machines so much..humph..~ He felt a sense of superiority in the fact that he, Sesshoumaru did not have to rely upon machines - no matter how fascinating they were - to go about the business of living and maintaining his lands.
"Hello, you have reached the Higurashi residence.." Sesshoumaru heard a female voice say out of thin air. He surmised that it had come out of the small box that Kagome was intently staring at.
"We are not home right now, but if you could please leave your name and number at the beep, we will call you right back."
'Beep!"
"Higurashi..it's Hojo.." Sesshoumaru heard a male voice speak out of the box. "I was wondering if you would like to see a movie on Saturday night. I know that you've had a hard time since you've been sick and also trying to juggle finals, so I thought a break for the both of us would be nice. Please call me, bye!"
Sesshoumaru immediately did not like the male voice. It was not the voice of a man grown but of a boy. The wench - Kagome, deserved better than that, even if she was human and a miko.
Kagome frowned. That was the only message. She turned to Sesshoumaru, who was frowning.
"Nani?" Kagome could not define the odd look on his face.
"Is this - Hojo - your husband to be?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"No!" Kagome blushed. "He is just a friend that I've gone to school with since junior high."
"Females go with males to be educated?" Sesshoumaru looked down and saw Buyo rubbing against his leg again.
"Yes they do." Kagome said with a sigh.
~She is thinking about her family once more..~ Sesshoumaru thought.
"We should be going back." Sesshoumaru said shortly. ~Perhaps that would be best for her..~ His eyes widened at the thought. When had he cared what was best for her?
Kagome nodded. "I - suppose so. But I need to pack some things first."
"Things?" Sesshoumaru raised a brow.
"Things." Kagome said with a sad smile. She turned to go down the hallway and Sesshoumaru followed her, picking up the bag that she had been carrying.
****
"Must you take all - that?" Sesshoumaru looked at the odd assortment of 'things' that Kagome was stuffing into her battered bag.
"Yes!" Kagome frowned. He and Inuyasha were the same in regards to the things she brought back with her. Men just didn't understand!
Sesshoumaru picked up a small box and shook it. Kagome quickly grabbed it with a blush to her cheeks.
"Do you mind?" She asked.
"What were those?" Sesshoumaru asked, curious.
"Never mind! They're personal!" Kagome stuffed the small box way in the recesses of the bag, when Sesshoumaru picked up another odd item.
He could definitely smell her on this skimpy garment, which seemed to consist mainly of various narrow straps and two larger triangular pieces of fabric.
"Ahh! Give me that!" Kagome shrieked but this time Sesshoumaru held onto the flimsy piece of material.
"It smells of you." Sesshoumaru said. "But it is very indecent. Just where do you - " He paused and then looked pointedly at Kagome's heaving chest. Ah, so this was what she wore to bind herself with. Odd that it was not constricting in the least but instead would probably enhance the roundness of her -
Sesshoumaru hissed at the vivid imagery of her that shot through his mind. He threw the scrap at Kagome as if it burned. Kagome glared at him and stuffed the bra into her bag along with some clothes. He kept looming over her and Kagome snapped, "Look, Sesshoumaru, why don't you - ?" Suddenly she was brought to her feet by powerful arms, and Kagome was momentarily shocked by the emotions that played across his face briefly. Abruptly he drew her very close and kissed her, his mouth questing for hers hungrily. Kagome was at first surprised and a part of her told her that she needed to resist, but another part of her wanted this very much.
Sesshoumaru was overwhelmed by her scent now. He wanted to take her - take her now and see if what he was feeling for her would fade after he had sated his desire for her. But he had this feeling that it would not, that she would never be just a momentary amusement. He could not let her know this - already he feared that somehow, someway, she had mastered him without meaning to. With a growl, he backed her into the tall bed and Kagome went down upon it, pulling Sesshoumaru down with her. Ah, at least the strange beds did have an advantage! He felt her hands on his shoulders, but he could not tell if she were encouraging him or pushing him away. It did not matter really. He parted from her, still keeping his face close to hers as he stared into her eyes.
"You are mine." Sesshoumaru whispered softly - so softly that Kagome had to strain to hear him.
"N - nani?" Her eyes were wide and Sesshoumaru could see the stormy confusion within them. Suddenly Sesshoumaru wanted Kagome to adore him as much as Rin did - even more so. He could not say why, nor could he define the reason for it. He only knew that it drove him now.
With a deliberate slowness, the youkai lord carefully took his clawed hand and slipped it under the neckline of Kaogme's kimono. It was difficult for Sesshoumaru felt a violence within him that wanted only to strip the garments away from Kagome and simply take her. But his always maintained control was still intact, and he did not desire to have her cower in fear of him. He would be careful with her for now. Gently he pulled it away slightly to reveal the creaminess of the flesh that was between her neck and shoulder. He gazed at it, knowing that in mating that was where the bite would be made, marking the wench as his own forever. Sesshoumaru sighed and bent his head to kiss the spot, his lips lingering and tasting the sweetness of her.
"Sesshou?" Kagome said softly, her heart beating rapidly. She did not need to be a youkai to sense his intentions. Why wasn't she screaming or stopping him? She couldn't say and she couldn't reason why, only that it felt very right. It felt more right than all those times when she had pined for Inuyasha, living off any little bit of affection, knowing deep down that it had been because she had looked like his first love, Kikyou.
He raised his face to hers and said, "Tell me no and I shall - " He sighed, not quite believing that he was even giving her a choice, "I shall leave you alone, Kagome."
Kagome blinked. He was - asking her?
"I - " Kagome could feel the blood racing within her and her thoughts went back to when she saw Sesshoumaru in the bathroom, so - so beautiful and yet so very male. There had been no mistaking just how male he was, and she knew no matter HOW she tried to forget that picture of him, it would not vanish from her mind. But then too there were other things about him - things that she knew he'd never admit doing for her. In a way he was a lot like Inuyasha, they both hid what they felt behind their attitudes.
But if she let him - if she gave into the impossible feelings that she felt for him, would her life ever be the same?
She kissed him, her lips parting for his own and Sesshoumaru took that unspoken answer to be her consent. Drawing her futher into his embrace, he gently kissed the area between her neck and shoulder once more, running his tongue sensually against her skin. The youkai-lord was gratified to feel her shiver delightfully, sensing that despite her inexperience, she would prove to be a formidable lover.
Lover? No, that was not the right -
He sighed as he felt her fingers lightly stroke his hair. It felt soothing and yet sensual in itself. He kissed her once again, savoring her lips as her body molded itself upwards to his own. A soft growl escaped his throat as he bared a little more of her to his gaze. He felt her shiver but she did not stop him. Ah, this feeling that he felt - what was it? It was more than lust, he was sure of it!
"Kagome?" A voice cut into the silence of the house, and both Sesshoumaru and Kagome froze.
"Aiii! That lamp! Buyo, you stupid cat!" They could hear an old man's voice, which was joined by another voice - a young boys'.
"Ka - gome! We're back!"
Sesshoumaru saw Kagome's face light up with utter joy. "Mama! Sota! Grandpa!" Her eyes caught Sesshoumaru's and wordlessly he allowed her up. She fixed her top somewhat and then to his surprise, caught his hand.
"Come on!" She said, her eyes dancing with happiness. With a reluctance he allowed her to pull him up - which was something she would not have been able to do if he resisted - and she half-dragged him to the living room where the voices came from.
The moment Kagome saw them, she ran to them, letting go of Sesshoumaru's hands momentarily.
"Mama!" The tears spilled from Kagome's cheeks as she hugged her startled mother.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Her mother asked.
"Nothing now!" Kagome smiled happily as she in turn hugged her grandfather and brother.
"All this when we go away a week and my cute granddaughter runs around the feudal times with nary a tear of regret?" Her grandfather eyed Sesshoumaru. "And who is this? He looks like that boy, Inuyasha.."
"Where are his dog ears?" Sota innocently asked.
Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed at Sota menacingly, but Kagome intervened.
"Ah, ah..this is Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha's older half-brother..and Sota, you shouldn't be so rude."
"Heh..uh..gomen.." Sota took a step back. Boy, this Sesshoumaru guy was mean! But what was that fluffy thing around his arm? He itched to touch the fluffy thing but feared that this guy would take his head off!
Sesshoumaru raised his chin a tad and ignored Sota. Human boy-children..rude little things. He was glad that Rin was a girl despite all her chatter and nonsense about picking dead flowers for him.
"Kaogme..what happened to the lamp and why were you crying when we came in?" Her mother asked worriedly, looking at both her daughter and Sesshoumaru. Her eyes had not missed her daughter's rumpled state of dress.
"It's a long story - but one I had better tell - and quickly. " Kagome said with a slight frown.
And so she did..
