Chapter 3: A Most Unpleasant Night

Two more tears slipped down Kagome's face as Lord Sesshoumaru stepped towards her. She was about to turn to bolt when he grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulder. She screamed and started to kick and punch him.

"Put me down! No! Stop! Let me go!" He rolled his eyes as he started flying fast as he could for his castle. She eventually stopped screaming and kicking and they flew in silence, the only sounds the roaring of the wind in their ears and her occasional sobs. She eventually fell into a fitful slumber full of nightmares. When she woke up again they were slowly descending. She merely dangled there, no longer caring. Why should she care? She had been abandoned and beaten and was soon to be raped and killed by the half brother of the man she had trusted, loved even. But no more. She hated him with every ounce of her being and the pain he caused inside of her only increased her hatred.

Thru out the trip back to his castle, Sesshoumaru had wondered about this strange miko. Her aura was confusing him. Usually it was filled with the colors of her happiness, determination, fire, conviction and another bright and warm color he had been unable to identify. But now it was black and blue and burning, deep red, the colors of hatred, depression and death. She smelt of tears and blood, but strangely there was no sign of the fear or terror that should be gripping her by the mere fact that she was presently being taken away by him, Sesshoumaru, to be his bedtime play–thing. He sighed inside as he softly touched down just before his castle doors. It would be an interesting night.

He tossed her to the ground unceremoniously and she yelped slightly in pain and shock. For a moment, fire flared in her eyes and aura and she yelled, "What the hell was that for?" But at the look he gave the fire died again and she lowered her head.

"Follow me." He hissed and walked past her. He reached the doors and stopped, knowing full well that she hadn't followed. He turned around to look at her still sitting on the ground. He didn't bother trying to repress the growl that emitted as he strode forward. He grabbed her arm in the exact same place as before and had to conceal his triumphant smile at her gasp of pain. He pulled her up so she was glaring directly into his molten eyes. "When I give you an order you obey." He growled. She flinched at his tone and the tightening of his grip but said nothing. "You will learn your place, human."

He straightened and walked off into the castle, keeping a firm grip on the miko's arm. He didn't care that he was half dragging her, it served her right.

Down endless passages they went until they reached a door. Kagome was thoroughly lost and was lost in her despair that she didn't notice them stop. The grand double doors opened at Sesshoumaru's silent command and he stepped onto the fur carpet of his room. He tossed his charge onto the ground hard and was satisfied by the grimace and glare he received from her as the doors automatically closed behind him.

"What is this?" Kagome asked as she took in the luxurious room she was in. The floor was covered in furs of the softest sorts. On the walls hung various ornaments, tapestries, paintings, weapons and a few claws and skulls from small, unfortunate animals. Torches were lit in brackets all over the room and a brazier was in each corner. A giant fireplace was on one wall with orange flames crackling away in their own ritual dance. There were dressers and wardrobes of the finest wood with ivory handles. A small table was over to one side surrounded by huge, squashy pillows. There were glass double doors leading out to a large, marble balcony. Kagome turned her head again and her eyes widened as they lay upon a huge, luxurious bed. It was not the normal futon but a large thing made for the grandest of nobles in this time. It looked softer then soft with blankets of gorgeous furs and giant pillows that you could sink your whole head in if you tried. She gulped audibly as she put two and two together.

"My bedroom." Sesshoumaru said tonelessly. Her worst fears were confirmed. This was going to be a most unpleasant night.

She looked over at Sesshoumaru and her jaw dropped. While she had looked at the room, Sesshoumaru had taken off his sword, belt and the chest armor he wore. He had become very good at doing the buckles one handed, hating having any of his servants touch him. As she looked over at him, he took off his top revealing the most perfect chest ever in existence. He wasn't over buffed, which was good cause she thought those guy's with their muscles sticking out half a foot were disgusting, but just perfect. His skin was tanned just right and his every muscle was finely carved along with a perfect six pack. For a moment she found herself drooling over him. But then he turned so she could clearly see his left side and back. His back had numerous scars fading into his perfect skin, but marring it just so that they were still evident. His left shoulder ended in a ragged stump showing just how unclean Inuyasha's cut had been. She suddenly had the urge to hold him close and kiss away the pain that still resided in those scars.

She shook her head. 'C'mon Kagome! Think about who this is! Sesshoumaru! You know, your enemy and kidnapper? You can't be having those sorta thoughts about a demon that has just taken you for a sex toy! No matter how drop dead gorgeous he is! Oh gods, he is gorgeous though!' She shook her head again, annoyed with her weakness.

Sesshoumaru turned to her suddenly, his fluffy tail wrapped around his hips, a cruel smile on his lips. Her thoughts immediately sobered to reality as chills ran their familiar track down her spine. Upon an impulse she leaped up and turned to bolt out the door. But he grabbed her by the back of her shirt and tossed her onto the canopied bed. Before she could even process what happened he was on top of her, straddling her hips.

He grinned lustily as she stared in utter shock into his golden eyes. He suddenly grabbed her shirt neck and tore the entire piece of clothing from her body. He seemed to be momentarily distraught by the sight of her bra. A moment later his grin returned and he disposed of it in a similar fashion as her shirt. A blush rose over her face as he surveyed her.

She shook her head, gaining her senses back and began to push him as he lowered his body. He smiled at her efforts and the sight of it chilled her.

His mouth was suddenly on hers and she practically choked on his tongue. His hand rubbed her body in what would have been a sensual motion if it hadn't hurt so much. She wriggled beneath him as his claws dug into her breast. She pushed him and beat him and scratched his back with her nails until she felt her nails draw blood as he rolled his tongue about in her mouth.

He suddenly squeezed her breast so hard that she could not bite back the cry of pain that issued as he released her mouth. He sat up again and looked down at her. Her head was turned to the side as she half sunk into the giant pillow. Her hair was so wild he almost groaned in want but he held it back. She held her hands over her chest as though that alone could keep him from touching her again. Blood had come back up to the scratches on her face. The smell of her blood was as intoxicating as the sight of her and it was all he could do to keep himself under control.

He bent down and she squinted her eyes shut even tighter. He smiled lustily as her scent surrounded him. He licked the blood from her cheek and felt her recoil ever farther into the soft bed. Her blood was just as sweet as her mouth and left him with such a craving that it almost hurt to sit back up again. When he did his sight was met with a pair of disgusted and terrified sapphire eyes.

He smacked her before she could say anything cheeky and was rewarded by her cry of pain. He bent over again and whispered in her ear, "Be glad, my beautiful whore, that I am tired tonight." She shuddered, paying no heed to the hidden compliment.

He rolled over with much reluctance and set himself for sleep. At his silent command, the torches around the room all went out and at the same time the four braziers dimmed to embers as Sesshoumaru prepared himself for sleep.

All truth be told, the true reason he didn't go through with it was that he had no taste for the rape that so many youkai delighted in with these humans. The only reason he was as rough as he had been tonight was because he had to be sure she properly feared him. But over the next few nights, he would be as gentle as he ever got and would carefully seduce her so that she would want him. He had done it before on many occasions, claiming a human girl as his and forcing her to fear him then seducing her to love him until she too old for his liking or use and he grew tired of her.

He gave a silent sigh as he pulled the fur covers up onto him and turned his back to the stiff girl beside him. The braziers last light died and moon beams filtered in past the sheer curtains that hid the balcony from view. He felt her move and her warmth inched farther away from him until she got to the edge of the bed. The covers shifted as she got beneath them and then there was a moment of silence.

It had actually been such a long time since Sesshoumaru had had another person in his bed that it felt a little strange but strangely not uncomfortable. The silence seemed the sound to his ears that were so sensitive that half way through the day he often had a headache from the noise about him.

The silence was suddenly broken by a soft and suppressed sob that a human or even a hanyou would not have been able to hear. As the soft sobs continued, the salty smell that he knew as tears from being with Rin came to him.

Yes, it would be a long night. As it was, he did not feel the need for sleep tonight. Her sobs continued far into the night and even came occasionally paired with a sniff as she dreamed, exhausted into restless sleep.

A part of him wanted to throttle her for not being the strong human he had thought she was while a tiny part wanted to comfort her. He scoffed at the latter. Even if he, the great Sesshoumaru, were to lower himself enough to offer comfort to any human other then Rin the girl would not appreciate any comfort from him and would only be frightened into further tears.

The sky began to lighten outside and he found that he had spent the entire night thinking about the girl, often times comparing her to Rin. When the very first ray of light entered the room, he stood from the bed and stretched his body. He prepared himself for the day and put on fresh clothes. He stepped in front of the balcony window as the sun finished rising.

With a silent sigh, he turned to survey the girl he had spent the entire night thinking about. But when he looked at her, he saw no girl, but quite instead he saw a woman, a woman who had suffered many hardships despite her youth. And as the sun laced its beams in her raven hair, he found he was entranced by the sight of her. She truly was exceptionally beautiful. He hated to wake this sleeping angel but he did have his rules. Yes, it would be an interesting day.
