A/N: I have no idea what furo means but I got it from the fanfic
A Demon Should Act Like a Demon by Ericedwyn
~ * ~ Chapter Eight: My New Demonic Buddy ~ * ~
Kagome had decided she needed a bath, considering she was sleeping for TWO WEEKS!
'No wonder Sesshoumaru let me go off by myself.'
The castle was really big, but Sesshoumaru showed her where the furo/bath was.
She stopped in front of a door that had steam coming out of it but it wasn't the one he showed her. She heard water dripping from the inside. So, she opened the door.
It was a private bath. It looked just like a Hot Springs (all the rocks, and a few Sakura trees here and there).
Then she noticed the wet youkai and his hair flowing in the water below. His flawless, ivory skin was wet with water and sweat. He had muscles, oh yes he did, but he had sleek ones, not bulky. There was something else in the - oh yea his boa thingy.
'No, wait a minute, is that a tail? I dunno, I guess it is.'
Kagome always thought he was a beautiful creature, but damn, right now, he was drop- dead gorgeous.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ He was breathing slowly when he smelt her. He raised his head and slowly opened his eyes. He heard her make a sharp gasp, then drop the flowers she was holding. The edges of his mouth curved into a smirk.
'How long is she going to stare at me? Maybe I should invite her in..' 'Not that I never saw her before.'
Kagome didn't know what to say. It was like he was inviting in with him. "Umm. Gomen ne. I was looking for the other bath and . umm . erm - I'll just wait till your finished, bye."
Sesshoumaru's smirk disappeared when she turned to leave. He had to say something fast. "Would you like me to show you?" he inquired softly.
"Sure, thanks," Kagome replied just a softly. She left the bath to wait for Sesshoumaru to come out.
When he did, all she could hear was the alarm bells going off in her head. He didn't have on his usual kimono, in fact all he wore was a towel. His hair was still wet (duh), but it was gathered in a low ponytail. "Would you like the private bath or the hot springs?" 'Yeah. Bask in his presence.' But there is such a thing called female modesty. And the time called for it.
'Besides, I don't want him thinking I'm easy or something.'
Sesshoumaru asked, knowing how much she liked Hot Springs, wanting her to pick that. "Umm, definitely the hot springs." She could barely get the words out.
"It will take some travel on my part, but a lot on yours." He hoped she didn't know where this was going.
Before she could reply, he crouched down low so she could get on his back. Kagome gawked at him, but none the less, she climbed onto his back.
Even through her sailor fuku, she could feel his heat. And although she didn't want to admit it, it kinda turned her on.
'Well, I guess he was right, It would have been a long trip.'
They landed on a rock on the spring. "I'll be around if you need me or you're ready to go. Other than that, I won't look."
'That's a lie.' Sesshoumaru thought to himself.
Checking out of his thoughts, he looked into her thoughts and was surprised at what he heard: ' Why don't ya join me?' He left with puffy eyes and a big doofy grin. 'I cant believe I was just thinking that. How could I betray Inuya-' Kagome cut off her thought.
'I can't believe I just thought that! Especially after I saw him fucking the un-dead bitch of his.'
Sesshoumaru came at her call. He was still half-naked, (or half-undressed, if you're an optimist) to her dismay, but there was one problem: she didn't have a towel! She blushed at the thought of him giving her his towel.
"You don't have a towel." Sesshoumaru calmly stated, although inside, he was grinning like a madman.
'Well, isn't he Captain Obvious.'
Kagome got an idea, "Could you hand me my underwear?"
He did, but instead of handing them to her, like a polite gentleman, he threw them in the water.
The JERK!
She tried her best to put them on, but he was just staring at her making it harder than it already was. All of a sudden Sesshoumaru gracefully jumped into the water and stayed under.
Kagome was unable to move (A/N: he put a immobilizing spell on her :). She could feel his hands pulling up her panties, and fastening her lace bra. When he was done, he appeared in front of her out of thin air.
'If he was putting my underwear on, then he saw my.' Kagome was outraged and embarrassed.
"Why you little hen-" her words were cut off by Sesshoumaru's hands grabbing her elbows. He pulled her close to his body and abruptly kissed her. She didn't know how to react, so he did it for her. He took her arms and wrapped them around his neck. While doing this he took the liberty to hold her waist and pulled her as close as she could be to him.
Kagome felt his throat start to rumble, but all he got out was a few tortured whimpers. 'Ohmigosh! He's whimpering!' Sesshoumaru brought one hand up to cradle her head and the other to rub the small of her back.
She suddenly had to jerk away because she had a disturbing thought of what Miroku and Kaede told her once. "Are you trying to make me your whore?" she suddenly asked Sesshoumaru.
She remembered Kaede and Miroku exchanging horrible stories about young girls being captured by demons. Instead of killing them, sometimes they would make them their concubines. At that time, Kagome thought 'Poor mates', but Sesshoumaru didn't have one.
Kagome was startled to see the hurt look on his face, "Of course not. I would never do that." She started to feel a little guilty, but then that feeling got blown away, "Then why the fuck am I here?!" Sesshoumaru couldn't take the pressure of her heated gaze. In one smooth movement, he grabbed her back and pulled her head close to his chest.
"Because I want you here, and not just to take care of Rin, but for me. also. Ever since you took the Tetsusaiga out, I've admired you for the last two years." He stopped to see a reaction but didn't receive one. She hadn't looked up at all.
So he continued, "I didn't know how to approach you without that stupid halfling trying to stop me," Sesshoumaru could faintly hear and smell tears, "I know that you saw him and that dead miko together as did I, so I figured that would be a good time."
Sesshoumaru could feel her tears quickly spilling on his chest. She was fully sobbing now. "Just let it all out Kagome." He rubbed her back and told her everything would be all right.
'Did he just say what I thought he just said?' Kagome's head was spinning with all of those emotions, but the one that was the most dominant was a weird sense of completion.
How good it felt to be wanted, needed, even loved.
When it all comes down to it, that's what everyone wants. Human, animal, youkai, hanyou; it doesn't matter. Everyone, no matter how much it looked like they didn't care, wanted to belong.
Belonging. That was something Kagome wanted for a long time. She didn't necessarily want Inuyasha's love anymore, she just wanted to belong somewhere in his heart. Possibly, even a place deeper than Kikyou's. But here, she was wanted. Someone needed her here. Some people needed her here. It was all she ever wanted, and it was right here.
With Sesshoumaru.
Even though it was coming from someone that she thought wanted her dead, she didn't care.
"So, will you stay with me?" Sesshoumaru asked timidly. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she nodding her head, and answered. "Hai," but then something came to mind, "What about the Shikon no Tama? I already have more than half, but what about the rest?"
Sesshoumaru had to think about that one, "I can train you, and we can go get the rest of them. together."
Kagome increased her hold on him and nodded her head, loving the way his deep, rich voice lulled her to sleep. 'Finally' Sesshoumaru thought.
