Sakura's Heat

Chapter 5

The Heat Is ON

Hours had passed since Sesshomaru had dragged Sakura kicking and screaming back into the forest. Sesshomaru glanced across his shoulder to the girl who walked at a slow pace behind him and Rin. He smiled inwardly as he watched the fiery wench. She wasn't least bit afraid of him much to his bewilderment he thought as the girl sent him a go to hell glare. Usually he would have long ago finished off one as insolent as she but he found himself captivated by her care free attitude. She was so unlike himself.

There was nothing reserved about her. She didn't care what she said or how she said it. She had to be the most honest being he'd ever encountered. He wondered if all the people from her land were as her in their mannerism or lack there of he thought shaking his head as he smiled. "Baka."He mumbled as he remembered the look on her face as he scooped her up tossing her across his shoulder. How indignant she had looked. That wench had a fire in her that could match his had she been a yukai but she wasn't. No she was a mere human he thought. He would just have to keep reminding himself of that fact.

**************************

Sakura watched the yukai that walked a few feet in front of her. Even after he had half explained to her why she'd need to continue to travel with them Sakura couldn't help but remain angry. Had he told her that tid bit of information from the beginning it would have saved her a lot of trouble. She looked at the yukai to find him glancing across his shoulder at her. "Damn him!" She thought. She seethed with anger how dare he demand anything of her. Who in the hell did he think he was? Tossing her across his shoulder, treating her as if she were a child. If only he'd give back the amulet she'd tell him what she really thought of him.

So he refuses to hand over the amulet we'll see about that. She said as she increased her pace walking up along side of the yukai. Sesshomaru continued to stare ahead as if oblivious to the girl's presence. So he plans to ignore me huh? Sakura questioned silently as she stared up at the tall man. Humph...not for long she thought as she fell to the ground.

"Nani!? What is wrong Sesshomaru questioned as he stopped kneeling beside the girl. Have you hurt yourself?" He said looking up at the girl

Sakura couldn't understand one thing he said, but by his reaction she'd gotten her desired results. She moaned rubbing her hand across her ankle as she stared up at the yukai with the saddest puppy eyes she could muster.

Gently he moved his pale hand across her smooth brown leg looking for the would be injury that had caused the girl to fall. Sakura sucked in a large amount of air failing to release it as she watched the handsome yukai. May be this wasn't such a good idea Sakura thought as his warm hand slid across her ankle squeezing it gently. She could feel her stomach tingling as she watched the yukai who examined her with care.

The sunlight that passed through the dense leaves up the tree tops bounced off his silver tress making it appear as though he glowed. God he's even more handsome then I'd first realized she thought as he continued to look over her legs oblivious to the gawking girl. Sesshomaru suddenly froze in his examination. His ears twitched slightly as he lift his head his golden eyes locking with her light brown ones.

Sakura swallowed hard as the yukai stared at her his face expressionless. Oh my Gosh can elves read minds? Did he hear what I'd thought of him? Sakura quickly broke eye contact staring off towards Rin who seemed to be occupied by something off in the distance.

Had he caught scent of what he thought he had? He questioned wordlessly as he watched the girl pretending to be occupied with Rin. Sure he had he thought narrowing his eyes. His nose never lied. This wench had become aroused during his examination of her. He smirked to him self so she had held lustful thoughts of him. Interesting he thought as his eyes moved slowly across taken in her features.

She was indeed stunning for a human, but he could not, and would not allow his growing desire to get the best of him. Slowly he reached into the folds of his clothing retrieving the amulet. He leaned forward reapplying the charm around her neck. Sakura sucked in hard as he paused a moment his warm breath tickling her exposed flesh. She felt him lean away from her and stand. Quickly her eyes darted up to meet his impassive gaze.

"What are you gawking at elf?" She barked as she rose to her feet brushing the dirt from her kimono.

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as he watched her. How ill mannered she was he thought turning to continue on his original path. But it did not matter her scent had told him what here mouth would not.

"I'm assuming you can walk human." He said his voice was taunting "Here wench! This belongs to you." Sesshomaru said tossing a small beige sack across his shoulder towards Sakura.

Sakura reached out catching the pouch in her hands.

"What is this elf?" She asked as she peered into the small bag analyzing it continents of dried leaves of sort.

"It is one part of the antigen you will need to continue your treatment." Sesshomaru responded

That's right Sakura thought as she turned her hand over staring at her palm where the thorn had pierced through. So the elf had saved her life. Humph.only after he had tried to kill her she thought as she walked behind him. She glanced back towards Rin who ran around happily playing a little ways behind them.

Sakura increased her pace coming up along side of Sesshomaru. She stared up at the tall yukai taking in his features. He was incredibly handsome despite the impassive expression he seemed to enjoy wearing. Actually the expression made him look a bit mysterious. She thought as she turned her attention to the path ahead of them.

"It is impolite to stare." Sesshomaru stated his gaze never wavering from the path they walked

"I suppose it is rather impolite, but it's not as if I see elves everyday where I come from." Sakura retorted.

"Oh, I, an elf? Baka!"

"Yes, you're an elf. What are you, delusional or something? Incase you haven't noticed these give you away." She said grabbing hold of her own ears. "Not to mention your skin. If you were hoping to trick everyone into thinking those streak running along your face is blush, it's not going to work. I am sorry, but no one applies their make up like that. No one except clown and people in street carnivals.."

Sesshomaru watched as the girl seemed to stare off into distraction. Yes, she was fast reaffirming his assertion that human were baka's.

"You said that you come from some other place. Where exactly?" He questioned as he stared down at the distracted girl.

"The U.S." She responded turning her attention towards him once more

"U.S.? What is a U.S?" He asked as he let his mind wonder back to all the literature he'd ever read in his life. He'd read many writing on foreign lands across the oceans and seas but he had not heard nor read of any U.S.

"Yes, U.S. " Sakura continued "It is the country where I was born, my homeland, but I don't know if I'll ever see it again if I can't get back to the well." she said as a frown came onto her face.

"Well? Twice you have mentioned a well. Is this well how you came to be here?" He asked as he stared at the girl who'd become distracted by a small township that they were passing.

"Can we stop for a little shopping?" Sakura asked as she turned her gaze towards Sesshomaru sending him a big smile. Her light brown eyes seemed to glow Sesshomaru thought as he stared at her.

"We don't have time to waste on idle things such as shopping. Besides my avatar left ahead to make sure all the supplies we'd need were gathered and ready for us." He said as he continued to walk.

"We'll see you inside!" Sakura yelled as she and Rin rushed towards the village

"NANI!! Sesshomaru "barked as he turned just in time to see the two girls vanish across the hillside.

Damn her she's like a wild child he thought. Did she derive some sort of pleasure from annoying him as she did? He wondered as he gave chase. BAKA.BAKA.BAKA!!!!

MEANWHILE

Anzai sniffed his surroundings gathering the scent of the one called InuYasha. He moved swiftly through the air his bat like wings gliding on the wind. Any moment he should reach them, but he couldn't let them see him he thought as he pulled on the hood of his cloak going invisible. He had a mission to complete. He had to obtain the Shikon no Tama. His master had given strict instruction on just how to go about doing that. It was the only way to save their people Anzai thought as he caught sight of a flash of silver and red directly in front of him.

He came to and perch atop a large cherry tree as he stared down upon the unsuspecting group. He watched silently as they made ready to clear camp. This should be easy enough he thought as he readied to attack. Abruptly he stopped his onslaught as the most beautiful raven haired creature he'd ever seen crossed his path. He narrowed his violet eyes as he watched it move around the group his eyes following behind logging its every movement.

Stunning he whispered wordlessly. His master had given instructions to exterminate them all, but how could he possibly destroy something so delectable without first having a taste he thought as a smile came on his face. No he would put killing them all off for a minute he thought at least until he'd gotten the chance to sample the goods.

****************************************

"Feh- Come on already we've lost enough time." InuYasha barked standing with his hands folded across his chest

"Ah- we could probably move a lot faster if a certain hanyou bothered to help with clearing camp, instead of standing idly by barking orders." Kagome retorted

'FEH!" InuYasha said as he turned his back to the group. "Why should I after all I have to do all the hard work."

"OSWUARI!"

"He never learns does he?" Miroku said staring down at the flattened hanyou

"I think he just does it on purpose because he likes the way dirt taste." Shippo said as he stared down on InuYasha from atop of Miroku's head.

Sango stood shaking her head.

"I do not like the way dirt taste!" InuYasha growled as he pushed himself up off the ground. "Kagome I am begging you, will you stop with sit commands already? I can't take anymore."

"BAKA!!" Kagome screamed walking off ahead of the group

'Oh man, how long are you planning to be angry with me?" InuYasha shouted as he ran up along side of Kagome.

"Until we get Sakura back." Kagome stated as she continued to walk

"Kagome, we're only a day away from the winter home. I promise we'll get to her before those dragons do. Besides I can't take much more of you pushing me away. I'm going to die if I don't get relief soon." InuYasha said as he stared down to the front of his hakama.

"Is that all you think about!?" Kagome questioned her voice rising in anger as she caught sight of InuYasha as he ran his hand across his length. InuYasha golden eyes shot up to meet Kagome's normally brown but now eerily red eyes.

"Oh, man." He sighed in defeat as he braced himself for the sound of the oh so familiar word.

"OSUWARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BAKA,BAKA,BAKA,BAKA...OSUWARI, OSUWARI,OSUWARI!!!!!!" Kagome shouted sending the hanyou to the ground once more.

"Gees, what an idiot." Anzai mumbled as he continued to follow the group from the shadows.

"See I told yah. He likes the way dirt taste." Shippo said resting his hand on his cheek as he titled his head slightly

"I'm starting to think you may be on to something Shippo. You may be on to something" Miroku responded cocking one eyebrow as he walked pass the flattened hanyou.

"Baka! Sango "mumbled as she glided by InuYasha atop of Kirrara's back. "This is going to be a long one day's trip "Sango said as she watched the infuriated Kagome who walked ahead of them. "Really long." She finished as she glanced back at the hanyou shaking her head.

MEANWHILE

"How absurd! Why I never! How dare you. I should have killed you while I had the chance." Sesshomaru growled as he walked behind Rin and Sakura his arms overflowing with boxes and bags.

"Well you didn't elf boy. Get over it! Besides you act as though we've done something really terrible. Your daughter needs NEW clothing. You should be ashamed. You're walking around like king of the woods, decked in your fine attire and you're daughter is running around looking like a cheap dollar store Barbie. That's just not right." Sakura said glancing back at Sesshomaru whose face was twisted into a scowl. "Besides Richey- rich by the looks of that fine pelt your wearing you can afford it. So stop pouting." She said smiling.

"I, Sesshomaru, pout? Don't be absurd. I just think you bought too many unnecessary things." He said returning his face to its usual stoic form.

"Yes, you were. Don't try put on that face now." Sakura said in a teasing voice "I've seen it.I've seen it. You were pouting.You were pouting. You try so hard to look serious all the time. I just don't get you elf boy, what's wrong with smiling every now and again. Besides it would really show how truly handsome you are. She finished turning her attention ahead of them once more. "God did I just say that? Damn you Freudian slip." Sakura voiced wordlessly scolding herself.

"Baka! Who cares about looking handsome? I have no need of such things." He barked as he sunk behind the packages he carried trying to hide the blush the girl's words had brought onto his face.

"How much longer before we reach your tree?" Sakura questioned as she glanced back at Sesshomaru.

"Baka, I don't live in a tree." Sesshomaru responded

"Oh my GOD!! Please tell me you don't live in a cave or under ground. Are you a ground elf? I mean I can deal with the trees a lot better than I can the roots and dirt, and, and. BUGS. EWWWW. I hate those creepy things.' She finished twitching her body as if convulsing.

"She's the creepy one." Sesshomaru thought as he watched the girl one eyebrow cocked.

"No I do not live in a cave or in the ground with bugs human. See for yourself." Sesshomaru stated as he nod his head redirecting her attention directly in front of them. Sakura widened her eyes in awe as she stared at the magnificent castle in front of them. It wasn't the largest, but it was still astonishing she thought as she marveled over all of the wild flowers sprinkled across the grounds. They are gorgeous she thought taking in the sight of their beautifully bright colors of orange, yellows, and reds.

"Wow!" Sakura said as she watched Rin run off towards the field drooping to the ground submerging herself amongst the flowers.

Sesshomaru walked up along side of Sakura staring down at her. He smiled inwardly as he took in the expression on her face. She reminded him of his mother with that look he thought. His mother would have that same look of appreciation when they would come there each year along with his father. A soft breeze rushed in causing her curly tendrils to flutters against the wind. Sesshomaru closed his eyes as the soft scent of vanilla tickled his nose. It had been awhile since a women's presence besides the servants had been felt at the castle.

It would be a nice change he admitted. He opened his eyes in time to watch her run over towards Rin collapsing in the grass. That girl is such and care free spirit. He thought as he watched her roll through the grass with Rin their laughter ringing through the open field. He almost hated to interrupt their fun but they would need to get settled. It was already late in the evening. Not to mention that even he was feeling tired.

"We must get going. We need to get you settled." He said looking at Sakura.

"Oh.. Pooh, you really know how to mess up a good time." Sakura said rising from the ground and giving chase of Sesshomaru.

It didn't take them long to walk onto the grounds. Immediately they were met by servants who had come out greet their returning Lord. Sakura stared in confusion. Exactly what kind of elf was he that he would have servants bowing before him? Was he royalty? She wondered.

"SESHOMARU-SAMA!!!" Sakura heard an annoying squeaky voice call from behind them. She turned to face the person who had called out to Sesshomaru.

"Oh my GOD!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!"

Hours later

Sakura moaned as she opened her eyes to find to gold ones staring down on her.

"What happened?" She questioned in a low voice

"You fainted." Sesshomaru responded

"Fainted? Oww.Oww" She cried rubbing her head as she moved to sit up. "What was that thing earlier? You could warn people that you have a talking frog you know." She said glancing over towards Sesshomaru.

"Are you hungry?" He questioned as he poured some hot water into a cup before handing it to her.

"What is this?" Sakura questioned as she stared in the cup containing a red liquid.

"It's your medication. You have been out for awhile, so you will need to drink that." He said pointing towards the cup she held. "Would you like something to eat before we apply your antigen for the night?" He asked his face expressionless

"Uh . Excuse me? WE? WHAT WE?" I don't think so Mr. Free Peep. I'll apply my own antigen thank you very much." Sakura said sending the yukai an indignant look.

"Baka! You seem to think I gather pleasure from having to interact so closely with you. Don't flatter yourself. This is just as disturbing for me as it is for you, but I suggest wench that if you value you life that you will decide which is more important to you, your modesty or your life. That is your decision to make." He barked as he tossed her a small jar of blue cream before leaving the room.

Sakura sat on the bed staring at the the small container of cream she held in her hands. Someone was getting a good laugh at her expense she thought as she squeezed the container in her hand. As much as she hated it, she really had no choice other then to allow him to apply the cream. After all he was part of the ingredient she grunted remembering what he'd told her immediately after taking her back into he forest.

Sakura sighed in defeat there was no other alternative left to her. Either way she still couldn't help but feel embarrassed over a man seeing her naked. She'd only been felt up once. That was by Mark Walhberg in the back of a Limo, but hell who wouldn't have welcomed that after that scene with him and Reese Witherspoon in Fear where he was messaging her on the roller coaster. Oh and the time with Usher but that really didn't count he sucked at kissing. Those were her only two experiences and now her she was in where ever being told she'd have to be felt up by of all things an ELF!! Her thoughts were interrupted as she a soft knock came to the door. Slowly Rin entered into the room carrying fresh clothing and oils.

"Hey there" Sakura said smiling at the girl.

"Sesshomaru-sama sent Rin to take Sakura to hot springs." Rin finished as she ran up along side of the bed where Sakura set

"Hot spring!? Oh my gosh, there's and hot spring here? Lets go little Flower." Sakura yelled as she slid from the bed dragging Rin behind her.

Hours Later

Sakura dragged into the room. She was exhausted. Rin had taken a bath with her. She'd washed he girl's hair and brushed out all of the tangles before taking her to her room and putting her to bed. She sat on the side of the bed , and began applying the scented oils they'd purchased earlier to her skin. A soft knock came to the door followed by a familiar soft baritone voice.

"Can I come in?" Sesshomaru asked from outside the door.

"Yes Sakura" answered as she continued applying the oils.

Sesshomaru blushed as he walked in to see the girl sitting on the side of the bed wearing noting except a thin cloth that stopped mid thigh. Her curly black hair hung loosely clinging to her damp skin. He hadn't been expecting to see such a seen. He thought as his pulse picked up.

"I can come back." He said as he reached for the handle on the door.

"Baka, as you like to say. Why would you leave? If you're going to apply the medicine I would like to get started and get it over with already." Sakura barked as she lay back against the dark purple covers on her bed. She loosened the ties that held the cloth closed.

Slowly the cloth fell open giving him a clear view of her glowing brown flesh. He approached the bed sitting on it's edge. Sakura turned her head so that she would be looking the opposite direction of him. Sesshomaru snapped the lid to the cream removing a generous amount and rubbing it between his palms.

"Are you ready?" he asked as he held his hands a few inches above her.

"Yes." Sakura answered in a whisper Sakuras felt his warm hand make contact with her neck and she gasped. Sesshomaru moved his hand down the front of the girl's body slowly messaging the cream into her flesh as she was hit with gentle pulse of his life force. He could feel the length of him hardening as his palms grazed across the dark tip of the girls soft brown mounds. He heard a whimper escape from between the girl's lips as the familiar scent of her arousal caressed his nose. He knew that she was feeling the heat of their awakening desire same as he. He continued to message moving his hand down across her flat stomach to her thighs.

Gently he slid his hand to in her inner thigh messaging slowly earning another whimper. It was taking everything in him not to cave and take her. "Damn you Muso" he cursed silently. There has to be another way to give her the medication he thought as he saw the girl's body arch against his touch. "She's human. She's human" he began chanting wordlessly.

He's an elf.He's an elf Sakura kept repeating in her mind. Little good that's doing she thought as she let out a soft whimper. "Damn it!" she cursed silently. He must think me the loose sort of girl. I've got to.to "Oh". she moaned. That wasn't supposed to come out she thought but his hands running across her body was driving her mad. "Damn that dwarf!" she thought "Oh... Yes oops". She said as she turned to face Sesshomaru.

"I am sor."... Sakura stared in shock as her words were cut off by Sesshomaru as he leaned in planting his mouth on hers. She lay there tense for a moment before allowing his tongue entrance into her parched mouth. "Oh my GOD!!" Her mind screamed as he kissed her gently. "His lips are so soft!"

Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck as his kiss became hungrier. "What in the hell am I doing?" Sesshomaru questioned himself. "I must stop!" his mind screamed all the while his hands continued to moves across the girls form.

"Stop him! He's an elf! Your first time can't be with an elf! I can't let this happen." Sakura thought as she readied to push him away. Suddenly a knock came to the door breaking into their heated bliss. Sesshomaru pulled away staring at Sakura both of them panting heavily.

"What is it?" he questioned his golden gaze still locked with her light brown one.

"Come quickly Sesshomaru -sama. Someone has come to see my lord." Jaken stated

Sesshomaru arose from the side of the bed. He stared down at Sakura as she scurried to close the cloth over her body once more. They would most definitely need to talk after this he thought as he took in the girl's flushed expression. Sesshomaru turned and left the room. Much to Sakura's relief without saying a word. She thought she'd faint if he said anything before she composed her thoughts. This can't happen again she thought. Maybe it was common here where ever here was for humans and elves to hook up, but she was not going to be on Jerry Springer. She could see the segment. Elves and the Models who love them. "I don't think so." She mumbled "it can't happen."

*****************************************

Sesshomaru walked quickly down the hallway half relieved, but more angry that he'd been interrupted. He'd totally lost his composer. Critical mistakes could have been made had he continued on like that. He rounded a corner entering into his main study. Who in the hell would be paying a visit to his home that late of hour he wondered as he opened the door to the study.

He stopped sharply as his usually stoic expression changed to one of disbelief.

"What are you doing here?" Sesshomaru questioned angrily

"Now, Now Sesshomaru. Is that anyway to greet your King?
