Sakura's Heat

Chapter Three
BAD ELF!!!
Kagome rolled over in her bed landing in on her back as slivers of sunlight pushed through her bedroom window. She stared up at her bedroom ceiling as she took in the familiar smell of her mothers cooking. Her stomach grumbled from the sweet smell that filtered into her room. As much as she could have laid there another hour or two she had to get up she thought. InuYasha had definitely left her worn out after the previous night's events.
Even so she had promised to take Sakura out and show her around Tokyo today. Kagome moved to a sitting position dropping her legs across the side of her bed letting her feet make contact with soft carpet that lined her floor. She stretched and yawned before moving to a standing position. She let her eyes settle on the futon where Sakura had slept the previous night.
"She must have gone down to breakfast" Kagome said rubbing her eyes with her fist as she yawned once more.
Thirty Minutes Later
Kagome walked briskly into the dining area a full smile gracing her mouth. She sat at the table taking her usual seat across from grandpa.
"Good Morning Everyone." She said in an excited voice.
"Good Morning Kagome" Her mother responded glancing across her shoulder from her position in front of the kitchen stove.
"Missing someone aren't we?" grandpa questioned as he glanced back towards the stairs Kagome had moments before come down.
"Yeah where's Sakura?" Sota questioned staring at Kagome
"Ha Ha.very funny you guys you almost had me. Tell her to come out now. I know I know I slept a little later than I usually do but enough al ready. Come on out Sakura I'll make it up to you." Kagome said a grand smile on her face
Grandpa and Sota stared at each other before turning to Kagome.
"Seriously dear where is Sakura?" Mrs. Figurate questioned as she sat a bowl of ramen down on the table.
"You guys are kidding right? " Kagome said looking over at each of her family members. "I don't know where she is Kagome responded in a low voice. Suddenly the events of the night before came flooding to mind. Had Sakura been awake when InuYasha had come to get her? Kagome jumped to her feet knocking over her plate as she did so.
"What's wrong dear?"Mrs. Higurashi questioned as a worried expression came onto her face.
"NO..Did she? Is it possible? Kagome questioned as she ran towards the stairs headed towards her room. Kagome rushed through her bed room door. Her eyes settling on the futon where Sakura had lay the previous night. Her eyes widened as she realized her error. The blankets lay in a heap similar to a persons form. Kagome gasped as she ran to her window peering out towards the house that held the old well. Sakura was awake when he had come.
"Mom!" Kagome said turning to face Mrs. Higurashi. "I think Sakura has fallen through the well. InuYasha came last night because of a shard and I think Sakura may have been awake and followed us."
"She fell in the well. How's that possible? Only you and Inu-chan can go and come through the well." Mrs.Higurashi questioned a concerned expression coming onto her face.
"That is true some what, but when I have these shards around my neck anything could happen and I think it did. Mom I've got to go. If I am correct then Sakura could be in danger." Kagome exclaimed grabbing one of the girl's shirts before heading down the steps and rushing to the well. Kagome jumped over into the well as the blue light engulfed her. Her heart raced. She knew that she had lost a lot of time and with all the wild animals and demons running around anything could have happened to the girl.
"Please be alright Sakura."
****************************************
Sesshomaru glided through the air the unconscious girl still secure in his arms. Both Rin and Jaken road upon AhUn. Sesshomaru glanced back at Rin giving her, his fifth warning glance. Twice already she had nearly fallen off the beast as she tried to lean forward to get a glance of the creature he held in his arms. He couldn't blame the girl after all he himself had been curious as to what she had been when he had fist saw her. After taking her into his embrace he quickly realized that she was but a human girl and not a detachment of Naraku as he had originally thought. Her scent was unmistakably human but she looked like no human he had ever seen he thought as he glanced down at her.
Her features were so delicate he thought as he stared at her. Her hair had been in two ebony braids that stopped their length just above her breast but one of the braids had come undone revealing a flowing mass of raven colored curls. Sesshomaru caressed a strand of the hair that was so different from his own in texture. So soft he thought as he moved his hand gently back and forth across it. The girl began to tremble violently in his arms. We've hit the barrier inside the Western Lands Sesshomaru thought. He knew the healing aura was pulling the poison from her body. Suddenly she began to convulse.
"Jaken!" We must land now Sesshomaru said recognizing the danger. If they traveled any further into the barrier while her condition was as severe as it was, she would die. She would have to be treated prior to entering any further within the barrier.
"Sesshomaru-sama, will she be ok?" Rin questioned from atop of AhUn as they landed in a grassy area.
"Sesshomar-sama, where are we going?" Jaken questioned as he ran up along side of his master. Sesshomaru continued to walk ignoring both his companions. They continued to walk for what had seemed forever. Finally they came to a home built into the side of a very large cherry tree in the center of a clearing. The door swung open as a round, tiny, dwarf like creature emerged. He wore what appeared to be a wizard's robe green in color and carried a staff in his hand.
"Well, what brings you to my door young lord?" The man questioned as he walked over towards Sesshomaru. "It has been a long time. I haven't seen you since I cast that spell giving you a new arm. There is nothing wrong with it, is there?" The man questioned stopping sharply and eyeing Sesshomaru.
"Should there be, Muso?" Sheshomaru questioned
"Oh..no..no .My Lord" The man said laughing nervously. "Whew!! The man said wiping the sweat drop from his head. If not my lords arm than what services might my lord need today?"
"I need you to treat this human girl. She has fallen ill from dragon's leaf poison. I don't think she will last much longer." Sesshomaru said noticing Sakura's breathing pattern had changed.
"That is a human girl? The man questioned as he walked in close to Sesshomaru staring down on Sakura. He sniffed the air taking in her scent. Indeed she is a human but a strange looking one, yet quite lovely. Well there is little time to be spared the man said turning and limping back towards the house. "Come quickly my lord if we are to save her we will need work fast."
Sesshomaru followed the dwarf back through the doors to the home as Jaken and Rin gave chase.
"You may want to leave the little one outside." The man said turning and pointing to Rin. "There are things that are going to be seen that little ones her age should not see."
"Jaken, take Rin out fishing" Sesshomaru barked as he continued further into the home. He followed the short round man up a set of stairs ducking here and there as he went. Last thing he needed was to hit his head which was more than possible since he was nearly as tall as the home's ceiling.
"Where did you find a human girl such as her?" The dwarf questioned as they walked down the winding halls.
"In the forest. I was on a hunt when she crossed my path." Sesshomaru responded
" Well she is most certainly not from around here by the looks of her. Did she tell you from where she has come?"
"She speaks in a language that is foreign to me. I could not gather any information worth mentioning." Sesshomaru said thinking back to when the girl had told him he had a large head.
" I think I have something that will help with the language barrier. In the mean time lay her down in there." The man said pointing into a small room with one oval shaped window and a bed. "I'll return shortly with supplies. You will need to get her undressed."
"Nani!?" Sesshomaru questioned as he laid the girl onto the bed before turning to face the dwarf.
"Well she can't keep those clothe on, the poison has saturated them. Furthermore she'll have to be rubbed down from head to toe with an antigen. I am more than willing to perform both task if my lord desire It." the dwarf responded as a smirk came onto his face.
"That won't be necessary." Sesshomaru said sending the dwarf a glare that could freeze hell
"As you wish." the little man said as he disappeared down the hallways.
Sesshomaru turned to face the girl who lay unconscious on the bed.
"Damn!" he cursed as he glanced down at his sword. This girl is proving even more troublesome than Rin. "She had better prove of some significance ,or I will finish what I started." he growled taking her feet in his hand. He stared at the pink plush bunny slippers the girl wore. He turned her foot left then right trying to figure out how to remove the things. He finally settled on giving a good tug which proved to his advantage as the shoes slid from her feet. He held them up frowning at the hideous things he had thought to be her feet originally. Where ever she had come from they sure had a horrible since of dress he thought tossing the shoe aside.
He leaned forward his body shadowing hers. He grasped the waist band of the Pajama's she'd been wearing pulling on them. As the material slid down her legs his hands were greeted with soft brown flesh. He closed his eyes fighting off the knowing urge that was beginning to build as he removed the layers of clothing. Once he'd removed the pant he stood a moment trying to compose himself. Only a bit more he said before turning to face her. He was all to relieve when he heard the old dwarf enter into the room.
"Sure are taking your time. You won't her to live or die? "
"Hush old man." Sesshomaru barked as he turned to finish his task.
Hour Later
Sesshomaru applied the last of the antigen to the girl's body. He covered her with a sheet before rising from the edge of the bed. He turned to walk towards the door to only be stopped by the sound of the dwarf's voice.
"Where are you going?" The dwarf questioned turning to face Sesshomaru.
"I have done what was required."
I am afraid you are not done young Lord. You see that girl body temperature is going to drop immensely once the antigen begins to work in order for her to fully recover she will need a secondary source of energy.
"What are you saying ?" Sesshomaru questioned turning to face the man.
"You will need to allow her to drain from your life force."
"Nani? What do you mean let her drain off of my life force? Why I should kill you right now." Sesshomaru growled as he charged the dwarf.
"Hey wait my lord." The dwarf shouted throwing his hands up " it's really not as bad as you are thinking."
"What do you mean?" Sesshomaru questioned stopping mid assault
"Whew!" The dwarf sighed before resuming "You see that bed where she lays will take small amounts of your life force passing it through her as the antigen works. There is no pain. You just have to get in bed with her and stay there until the Perspiration ceases." The dwarf finished closing his eyes bracing himself for what he was sure to follow but never came.
"Very well." Sesshomaru responded as he eyed the girl. Had he thought her to be more troublesome than Rin but she was quickly passing the more part. He was sure there were no words to define just how bothersome she was proving.
"Well if it is agreed I will leave you to take care of her my lord. I will tend the young girl and toad. Oh by the way here is the amulet I told you of. It is a translating stone. Place this around the girl's neck it should help you understand her when she speaks dwarf said as he left the room. Sesshomaru stood watching the wench.
"There is one thing before you leave Muso." Sesshomaru said turning to face the dwarf that stood in the door way of the room.
"And what might that be my lord?" The dwarf questioned sending Sesshomaru a big smile.
"Hand them over."
"What on earth are you referring to my lord?" The dwarf questioned as a large sweat drop appeared on his dead. "You know full well what I am referring to. I will not ask again." Sesshomaru barked
" I was only curious as to the strange design my lord." The dwarf responded handing Sesshomaru a wad of small pink laced material.
Sesshomaru closed his hand around the garment without giving it a second look.
"BaKa. He said as he watched the dwarf leave the room closing the door behind him.
He returned his attention to the girl. Why in the hell had Tenseiga beckoned him to save her? This task was proving more and more tiresome by the minute. Slowly he moved towards the bed. He leaned over the girl clasping the amulet around her neck before moving to a standing position once more. It's now or never had he thought as he readied to perform the task.
*************************************
Meanwhile
Kagome rushed toward the village her heart beat against her chest violently. She had thought to try and call the girl's name but she thought that futile since the girl probably had wondered too far away to hear her voice. There was only one person who would be able to find her now, she thought and by the looks of the sky, and the chill in the air they would need to find her soon.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome called in an excited voice as she entered into Kaede's hut.
"What's wrong child?" Kaede questioned taking not of the girls panicked expression
"Where is Inuyasha!?" She questioned in an excited voice
"Right behind ya." Inuyasha barked as he Miroku and Sango came to a halt behind the girl.
"What is wrong Kagome-sama?" Miroku questioned noticing the agitated state Kagome seemed to be in.
"Inu.Inuyasha! She cried as she flung herself against the hanyou sobbing
"What's wrong Kagome-chan Sango questioned stroking the sobbing girl's hair.
"You guys I need your help she said turning to face Miroku and Sango.
" Sure anything Kagome-sama." Miroku and Sango responded simultaneously
"Feh-Well are you going to tell us the problem or not?" Inuyasha barked
'Osuwari!" Kagome shouted sending the hanyou to the ground. "it's all your fault if you had only waited for me to return instead of coming to my time and taking me, this would never have happened."
"So that's where you were you sly devil you." Miroku responded sending Inuyasha a sly grin and earning himself a whack with Sango's boomerang.
"Houshi-sama this is not the time for your perverted ness" Sango barked as she stared at the monk who lay flattened on the ground next to Inuyasha
"What happened child?" Kaede questioned coming to stand in the huts entrance
"Well remember I told you that a distant cousin from another country was coming to stay with us for a few weeks."
"Yeah." everyone responded all together
"Well she fell through the well last night and I didn't notice until this morning. And .And. She could be hurt and it would be all my fault." Kagome cried.
"How'd she come through the well? " Sango questioned "Only you and Inuyasha can go between your world and this one."
"I know that's usually how it happens but for some reason she was allowed through. We've got to find her you guys. Here Inuyasha "Kagome started as she held a white T-shirt out in front of the hanyou. "Smell this and see if you can't get her scent."
"Feh- Why should I?"
" Because if you don't I will never forgive you, and I will sit you until you reach pits that the demons of hell have yet to discover."
"Sounds like someone had better get sniffing." Miroku responded
"Be quiet you stupid monk!" Inuyasha barked snatching the shirt from Kagome and bringing it to his nose. "This scent is familiar." Inuyasha responded as he stared at Kagome.
"What do you mean it's familiar?" Kagome questioned one eyebrow raised
"Feh- I caught this scent last night as we passed through the well but I just assumed it was coming from you. I meant to ask you about it but forgot"
"OSUWARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" BAKA,BAKA,BAKA,BAKA...OSUWARI,OSUWARI,OSUWARI!!!!!!
"Hmmmm..looks as though someone will be taking and early trip to those pits Kagome-sama mentioned." Miroku said staring at the flattened hanyou
"Well child "Kaede began " It is far too dangerous for her to be roaming out and about alone. There are bandits and wild animals not to mention the yukai in this area. And it looks as if the snow this year will be arriving early if you plan to track her you'd better move fast child. BY my estimates you have a few days at the most to locate her before her trail is lost."
"Well, we'd better get going." Sango began
"Sure after Inuyasha comes too." Miroku said poking the motionless hanyou with his staff
"Please stay safe until I find you Sakura." Kagome said staring up at the gray clouds that marked the sky
*************************************************
Meanwhile
Sesshomaru stood a moment a scowl on his face as he stared down at the girl. Sakura stirred slightly as a agonizing moan escaped from her lips reminding the yukai of just why he'd been standing there. He growled as he began to remove his armor and his shoes. Once he'd removed the last piece he walked over towards the bed throwing the covers back and climbing in next to her.
"Shit" he cursed as he moved in close to the unconscious female. He pressed his back against the cool wall staring directly in front of him. Immediately he could feel his life force being sucked from him. Not much but he would need a decent nights rest after the ordeal was over.
"Hopefully this won't take long." He growled trying to block out the urge to glance at the nude woman that lay next to him. He'd already paid her enough attention to leave him feeling uneasy as it was.
Night came and left
Birds began to chirp outside of the window signaling the approaching daybreak. He turned his head slightly glancing down at the slumbering girl. The perspiration had cleared and her breathing had somewhat returned to normal. All that remained now was to make it to the castle before the first snows came he thought. After all he still had Rin to look after and she'd need to be secure within the barrier of the castle. The grounds around the castle remained in a never-ending spring. This was due to a spell his father had had cast on the property to please his mother when she was alive.
Sesshomaru moved his thumb across the soft laced material that he held in his hand . He glanced down to his hand . He had forgotten all about the garment. He had not wanted to seem like a hentai but hell even his curiosity had been peeked when he'd seen them. He glanced over to the sleeping girl. Her chest rose and fell steadily signaling she was still far from rousing anytime soon. He turned his attention back towards his closed hand. Slowly he began to uncurl his fingers staring at the tiny fabric he held.
He moved his other hand unraveling the waded up material. He looked over to the female once more making sure she was still fast asleep. Once he was sure he lift both his arms the small garment caught between his index finger and his thumb of his both hands. He titled his head slightly staring curiously at the out stretched material that he held before him. It was pink lace that had small heart designed into the material. And it was held together by three strings nothing more.
"Hump.She was wearing these for undergarments. It doesn't even cover my hand" He scoffed looking over to the slumbering girl once more. Suddenly she began to stir. Sesshomaru froze mid action the garment still held out in front of him.
"Ummmmmmm..." Sakura moaned as she stretched her arm landing across the yukai's bare stomach. Sesshomaru eyes widened as the girl scooted in close to him. He wasn't one for panicking but there is always a first time for everything he though as the girl began rubbing her hand back and forth across his skin. The yukai swallowed hard as her delicate fingers maneuvered over his flesh. He threw his head back his arms still outstretched in front of him.
"Shit! He cursed silently. It had been so long since he'd been touched by the opposite sex. Not because of lacking willing partners but more out of his own picky ness when it came to lovers. If he had not thought he were missing anything her caress was fast reminding that he was.
"Oh, Brad" Sakura began as her mouth curved into a smile "What if Jennifer catches us. You are such a naughty boy." She purred.
Sesshomaru stared at the girl. She was speaking but it was obvious that she was still asleep. Sesshomaru let out a soft growl. He could feel his length stiffening. The more she rubbed the more the ache continued to grow. He had only one choice he thought as he glanced over to the girl.
*************************************
Damn this dream feels real. I can actually feel Brad Pitt. Wait a minute where am I ? she questioned as her mind wondered back to the events of a day earlier. Oh my gosh. the last thing I remembered was being chased by and elf. I was about to escape when...Her thoughts trailed off as her eyes shot open.
*****************************
Sesshomaru was just about to rise from his place beside her eyes when her eyes shot open. He braced himself for what he was sure to follow
****************************
It was all a dream Right? Sakura questioned herself silently. Slowly she let her eyes move up the form that lay next to her. I'm in bed with my boyfriend back in the US. You don't have a boyfriend idiot she thought. Her eyes locked with familiar silver strands of hair.
****************************
Sesshomaru felt her body go tense in the bed. The amulet around her neck flashed a blue light and he knew it was over. Sakura screamed sending the yukai bolting from the bed his hands clasped across his sensitive ears. She sat up in the bed drawing her legs close to her .
"Where am I?" She questioned as her eyes scanned across the room, It was tidy and small but it appeared to be inside a ...
"TREE!!!! OH MY GOSH" You took me to your home.
Sesshomaru leaned against the door his ears were still pounding from her scream. He'd supposed he'd had that coming after all if he'd left once he'd noticed that the perspiration had ceased he wouldn't be in that predicament at that moment. Sakura let her eyes lock on Sesshomaru and her mouth dropped at the sight of him. His haori was undone revealing his bare chest. His pants were wrinkled and his he had no shoes on. He looked as though he'd just finished.....Sakura eyes roamed down her own frame. Her breath caught in her throat as she realized she was completely naked.
"OH..MY..GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed as she jumped from the bed
"Tell me.We didn't?" she said looking over towards Sesshomaru who had regained his composer and was busy reapplying his armor. "Answer me elf! Di.Did we.you know?"
Sesshomaru stared at the excited female his face expressionless.
"I don't believe this." She said turning her back to him. "My first time with a guy and he's and elf that lives in a tree. WHY!? WHY ME!? I don't even remember any of it. Did you at least feed me first? She questioned turning to face Sesshomaru. You know candles, music. Did I at least enjoy myself can you tell me that much? Great! What a story to tell my daughter. Why honey my first lover was and elf.
"Be quiet" Sesshomaru barked his patience with the wench was growing thin. "If I had truly taken pleasure with you wench, you would know."
"Oh yeah, well how'd you explain that?" Sakura retorted walking over to the yukai and snatching the pink laced garment from his hand. "Pervert!!!! What are you doing with my panties. When did elves become such perverts? Aren't you guys supposed to fix shoes or something not stealing other people's underwear. YOU'RE A VERY BAD ELF!!!!"
Sesshomaru's face flushed red under the girl's accusing words. Sure he looked at the damned things but only because people wearing a strip of cloth and three pieces of string wasn't common in his country. Even so he would not tolerate her insolence he thought as he reached out grabbing her by the arm.
"BE QUIET!!!!" He snapped
Sakura fell silent she could tell that she'd pressed his button.
"Do not insult me wench. Do you honestly think that I Sesshomaru would desire a creature as lowly as yourself. I'd rather be impaled than be intimate with the likes of you or any other human. Now I will warn you this once. You are never to raise my ire again. If you challenge me again I will not be as merciful as I am now. Now get dressed." He barked releasing her arm from his grasp. He turned and headed for the door.
"Get dressed? I have no clothing Elf or do you prefer I wear this bed sheet." Sakura barked tossing her head back defiantly
"If that pleases you wench!" Sesshomaru barked before exiting the room slamming the door behind him.
Sesshomaru walked into the hall way as soon as he did he struck his head on the ceiling.
"Damn !!! BAKA!!! SHIT!!!" He growled rubbing his head. I should have let her died. Accusing I Sesshomaru of being a hentai. If she has to stay the entire winter months it is going to prove troublesome indeed he growled as he exited the house.

BAD ELF!!!
Kagome rolled over in her bed landing in on her back as slivers of sunlight pushed through her bedroom window.

Sesshomaru turned to face the girl who lay unconscious on the bed.
"Damn!" he cursed as he glanced down at his sword. This girl is proving even more troublesome than Rin. "She had better prove of some significance ,or I will finish what I started." he growled taking her feet in his hand. He stared at the pink plush bunny slippers the girl wore. He turned her foot left then right trying to figure out how to remove the things. He finally settled on giving a good tug which proved to his advantage as the shoes slid from her feet. He held them up frowning at the hideous things he had thought to be her feet originally. Where ever she had come from they sure had a horrible since of dress he thought tossing the shoe aside.
He leaned forward his body shadowing hers. He grasped the waist band of the Pajama's she'd been wearing pulling on them. As the material slid down her legs his hands were greeted with soft brown flesh. He closed his eyes fighting off the knowing urge that was beginning to build as he removed the layers of clothing. Once he'd removed the pant he stood a moment trying to compose himself. Only a bit more he said before turning to face her. He was all to relieve when he heard the old dwarf enter into the room.
"Sure are taking your time. You won't her to live or die? "
"Hush old man." Sesshomaru barked as he turned to finish his task.
Hour Later
Sesshomaru applied the last of the antigen to the girl's body. He covered her with a sheet before rising from the edge of the bed. He turned to walk towards the door to only be stopped by the sound of the dwarf's voice.
"Where are you going?" The dwarf questioned turning to face Sesshomaru.
"I have done what was required."
I am afraid you are not done young Lord. You see that girl body temperature is going to drop immensely once the antigen begins to work in order for her to fully recover she will need a secondary source of energy.
"What are you saying ?" Sesshomaru questioned turning to face the man.
"You will need to allow her to drain from your life force."
"Nani? What do you mean let her drain off of my life force? Why I should kill you right now." Sesshomaru growled as he charged the dwarf.
"Hey wait my lord." The dwarf shouted throwing his hands up " it's really not as bad as you are thinking."
"What do you mean?" Sesshomaru questioned stopping mid assault
"Whew!" The dwarf sighed before resuming "You see that bed where she lays will take small amounts of your life force passing it through her as the antigen works. There is no pain. You just have to get in bed with her and stay there until the Perspiration ceases." The dwarf finished closing his eyes bracing himself for what he was sure to follow but never came.
"Very well." Sesshomaru responded as he eyed the girl. Had he thought her to be more troublesome than Rin but she was quickly passing the more part. He was sure there were no words to define just how bothersome she was proving.
"Well if it is agreed I will leave you to take care of her my lord. I will tend the young girl and toad. Oh by the way here is the amulet I told you of. It is a translating stone. Place this around the girl's neck it should help you understand her when she speaks dwarf said as he left the room. Sesshomaru stood watching the wench.
"There is one thing before you leave Muso." Sesshomaru said turning to face the dwarf that stood in the door way of the room.
"And what might that be my lord?" The dwarf questioned sending Sesshomaru a big smile.
"Hand them over."
"What on earth are you referring to my lord?" The dwarf questioned as a large sweat drop appeared on his dead. "You know full well what I am referring to. I will not ask again." Sesshomaru barked
" I was only curious as to the strange design my lord." The dwarf responded handing Sesshomaru a wad of small pink laced material.
Sesshomaru closed his hand around the garment without giving it a second look.
"BaKa. He said as he watched the dwarf leave the room closing the door behind him.
He returned his attention to the girl. Why in the hell had Tenseiga beckoned him to save her? This task was proving more and more tiresome by the minute. Slowly he moved towards the bed. He leaned over the girl clasping the amulet around her neck before moving to a standing position once more. It's now or never had he thought as he readied to perform the task.
*************************************
Meanwhile
Kagome rushed toward the village her heart beat against her chest violently. She had thought to try and call the girl's name but she thought that futile since the girl probably had wondered too far away to hear her voice. There was only one person who would be able to find her now, she thought and by the looks of the sky, and the chill in the air they would need to find her soon.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome called in an excited voice as she entered into Kaede's hut.
"What's wrong child?" Kaede questioned taking not of the girls panicked expression
"Where is Inuyasha!?" She questioned in an excited voice
"Right behind ya." Inuyasha barked as he Miroku and Sango came to a halt behind the girl.
"What is wrong Kagome-sama?" Miroku questioned noticing the agitated state Kagome seemed to be in.
"Inu.Inuyasha! She cried as she flung herself against the hanyou sobbing
"What's wrong Kagome-chan Sango questioned stroking the sobbing girl's hair.
"You guys I need your help she said turning to face Miroku and Sango.
" Sure anything Kagome-sama." Miroku and Sango responded simultaneously
"Feh-Well are you going to tell us the problem or not?" Inuyasha barked
'Osuwari!" Kagome shouted sending the hanyou to the ground. "it's all your fault if you had only waited for me to return instead of coming to my time and taking me, this would never have happened."
"So that's where you were you sly devil you." Miroku responded sending Inuyasha a sly grin and earning himself a whack with Sango's boomerang.
"Houshi-sama this is not the time for your perverted ness" Sango barked as she stared at the monk who lay flattened on the ground next to Inuyasha
"What happened child?" Kaede questioned coming to stand in the huts entrance
"Well remember I told you that a distant cousin from another country was coming to stay with us for a few weeks."
"Yeah." everyone responded all together
"Well she fell through the well last night and I didn't notice until this morning. And .And. She could be hurt and it would be all my fault." Kagome cried.
"How'd she come through the well? " Sango questioned "Only you and Inuyasha can go between your world and this one."
"I know that's usually how it happens but for some reason she was allowed through. We've got to find her you guys. Here Inuyasha "Kagome started as she held a white T-shirt out in front of the hanyou. "Smell this and see if you can't get her scent."
"Feh- Why should I?"
" Because if you don't I will never forgive you, and I will sit you until you reach pits that the demons of hell have yet to discover."
"Sounds like someone had better get sniffing." Miroku responded
"Be quiet you stupid monk!" Inuyasha barked snatching the shirt from Kagome and bringing it to his nose. "This scent is familiar." Inuyasha responded as he stared at Kagome.
"What do you mean it's familiar?" Kagome questioned one eyebrow raised
"Feh- I caught this scent last night as we passed through the well but I just assumed it was coming from you. I meant to ask you about it but forgot"
"OSUWARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" BAKA,BAKA,BAKA,BAKA...OSUWARI,OSUWARI,OSUWARI!!!!!!
"Hmmmm..looks as though someone will be taking and early trip to those pits Kagome-sama mentioned." Miroku said staring at the flattened hanyou
"Well child "Kaede began " It is far too dangerous for her to be roaming out and about alone. There are bandits and wild animals not to mention the yukai in this area. And it looks as if the snow this year will be arriving early if you plan to track her you'd better move fast child. BY my estimates you have a few days at the most to locate her before her trail is lost."
"Well, we'd better get going." Sango began
"Sure after Inuyasha comes too." Miroku said poking the motionless hanyou with his staff
"Please stay safe until I find you Sakura." Kagome said staring up at the gray clouds that marked the sky
*************************************************
Meanwhile
Sesshomaru stood a moment a scowl on his face as he stared down at the girl. Sakura stirred slightly as a agonizing moan escaped from her lips reminding the yukai of just why he'd been standing there. He growled as he began to remove his armor and his shoes. Once he'd removed the last piece he walked over towards the bed throwing the covers back and climbing in next to her.
"Shit" he cursed as he moved in close to the unconscious female. He pressed his back against the cool wall staring directly in front of him. Immediately he could feel his life force being sucked from him. Not much but he would need a decent nights rest after the ordeal was over.
"Hopefully this won't take long." He growled trying to block out the urge to glance at the nude woman that lay next to him. He'd already paid her enough attention to leave him feeling uneasy as it was.
Night came and left
Birds began to chirp outside of the window signaling the approaching daybreak. He turned his head slightly glancing down at the slumbering girl. The perspiration had cleared and her breathing had somewhat returned to normal. All that remained now was to make it to the castle before the first snows came he thought. After all he still had Rin to look after and she'd need to be secure within the barrier of the castle. The grounds around the castle remained in a never-ending spring. This was due to a spell his father had had cast on the property to please his mother when she was alive.
Sesshomaru moved his thumb across the soft laced material that he held in his hand . He glanced down to his hand . He had forgotten all about the garment. He had not wanted to seem like a hentai but hell even his curiosity had been peeked when he'd seen them. He glanced over to the sleeping girl. Her chest rose and fell steadily signaling she was still far from rousing anytime soon. He turned his attention back towards his closed hand. Slowly he began to uncurl his fingers staring at the tiny fabric he held.
He moved his other hand unraveling the waded up material. He looked over to the female once more making sure she was still fast asleep. Once he was sure he lift both his arms the small garment caught between his index finger and his thumb of his both hands. He titled his head slightly staring curiously at the out stretched material that he held before him. It was pink lace that had small heart designed into the material. And it was held together by three strings nothing more.
"Hump.She was wearing these for undergarments. It doesn't even cover my hand" He scoffed looking over to the slumbering girl once more. Suddenly she began to stir. Sesshomaru froze mid action the garment still held out in front of him.
"Ummmmmmm..." Sakura moaned as she stretched her arm landing across the yukai's bare stomach. Sesshomaru eyes widened as the girl scooted in close to him. He wasn't one for panicking but there is always a first time for everything he though as the girl began rubbing her hand back and forth across his skin. The yukai swallowed hard as her delicate fingers maneuvered over his flesh. He threw his head back his arms still outstretched in front of him.
"Shit! He cursed silently. It had been so long since he'd been touched by the opposite sex. Not because of lacking willing partners but more out of his own picky ness when it came to lovers. If he had not thought he were missing anything her caress was fast reminding that he was.
"Oh, Brad" Sakura began as her mouth curved into a smile "What if Jennifer catches us. You are such a naughty boy." She purred.
Sesshomaru stared at the girl. She was speaking but it was obvious that she was still asleep. Sesshomaru let out a soft growl. He could feel his length stiffening. The more she rubbed the more the ache continued to grow. He had only one choice he thought as he glanced over to the girl.
*************************************
Damn this dream feels real. I can actually feel Brad Pitt. Wait a minute where am I ? she questioned as her mind wondered back to the events of a day earlier. Oh my gosh. the last thing I remembered was being chased by and elf. I was about to escape when...Her thoughts trailed off as her eyes shot open.
*****************************
Sesshomaru was just about to rise from his place beside her eyes when her eyes shot open. He braced himself for what he was sure to follow
****************************
It was all a dream Right? Sakura questioned herself silently. Slowly she let her eyes move up the form that lay next to her. I'm in bed with my boyfriend back in the US. You don't have a boyfriend idiot she thought. Her eyes locked with familiar silver strands of hair.
****************************
Sesshomaru felt her body go tense in the bed. The amulet around her neck flashed a blue light and he knew it was over. Sakura screamed sending the yukai bolting from the bed his hands clasped across his sensitive ears. She sat up in the bed drawing her legs close to her .
"Where am I?" She questioned as her eyes scanned across the room, It was tidy and small but it appeared to be inside a ...
"TREE!!!! OH MY GOSH" You took me to your home.
Sesshomaru leaned against the door his ears were still pounding from her scream. He'd supposed he'd had that coming after all if he'd left once he'd noticed that the perspiration had ceased he wouldn't be in that predicament at that moment. Sakura let her eyes lock on Sesshomaru and her mouth dropped at the sight of him. His haori was undone revealing his bare chest. His pants were wrinkled and his he had no shoes on. He looked as though he'd just finished.....Sakura eyes roamed down her own frame. Her breath caught in her throat as she realized she was completely naked.
"OH..MY..GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed as she jumped from the bed
"Tell me.We didn't?" she said looking over towards Sesshomaru who had regained his composer and was busy reapplying his armor. "Answer me elf! Di.Did we.you know?"
Sesshomaru stared at the excited female his face expressionless.
"I don't believe this." She said turning her back to him. "My first time with a guy and he's and elf that lives in a tree. WHY!? WHY ME!? I don't even remember any of it. Did you at least feed me first? She questioned turning to face Sesshomaru. You know candles, music. Did I at least enjoy myself can you tell me that much? Great! What a story to tell my daughter. Why honey my first lover was and elf.
"Be quiet" Sesshomaru barked his patience with the wench was growing thin. "If I had truly taken pleasure with you wench, you would know."
"Oh yeah, well how'd you explain that?" Sakura retorted walking over to the yukai and snatching the pink laced garment from his hand. "Pervert!!!! What are you doing with my panties. When did elves become such perverts? Aren't you guys supposed to fix shoes or something not stealing other people's underwear. YOU'RE A VERY BAD ELF!!!!"
Sesshomaru's face flushed red under the girl's accusing words. Sure he looked at the damned things but only because people wearing a strip of cloth and three pieces of string wasn't common in his country. Even so he would not tolerate her insolence he thought as he reached out grabbing her by the arm.
"BE QUIET!!!!" He snapped
Sakura fell silent she could tell that she'd pressed his button.
"Do not insult me wench. Do you honestly think that I Sesshomaru would desire a creature as lowly as yourself. I'd rather be impaled than be intimate with the likes of you or any other human. Now I will warn you this once. You are never to raise my ire again. If you challenge me again I will not be as merciful as I am now. Now get dressed." He barked releasing her arm from his grasp. He turned and headed for the door.
"Get dressed? I have no clothing Elf or do you prefer I wear this bed sheet." Sakura barked tossing her head back defiantly
"If that pleases you wench!" Sesshomaru barked before exiting the room slamming the door behind him.
Sesshomaru walked into the hall way as soon as he did he struck his head on the ceiling.
"Damn !!! BAKA!!! SHIT!!!" He growled rubbing his head. I should have let her died. Accusing I Sesshomaru of being a hentai. If she has to stay the entire winter months it is going to prove troublesome indeed he growled as he exited the house.
