Between Lust and Love
Chapter 16: Love has no need for words
I went down the corridor and ran into Sango, she looked at me and smiled warmly announcing "I got a letter from Kohaku!" I smiled back at her, and thought 'I think I better listen to what she needs to tell me before I bring up the news to her...' and so I lead her to the gardens and sat down on the wooden floor, night had fallen and most of the servants were turning on the small garden lamps. She shoved the piece of parchment up so I could verify it truly was her brother's, I sighed and chuckled at the childish way she behaved. "I'm so happy!" she exclaimed all of the sudden. "It's being a long time since I received one of Kohaku's letters..." she said somewhat sadly holding the letter in her hands. I noticed the sudden change in her voice as it cracked at the very end of the sentence, almost in a whisper.
"What is it Lady Sango?" I asked, she laugh a bit and then looked up with teary eyes "Can I tell you a secret?" she asked, just the way a 10 year-old would to her best friend. I nodded and smiled reassuringly, I was trying my best not to make her feel uncomfortable. She lowered her head "Three years ago, my clan, the taiji, was murdered. I was on a mission out of the region and Kohaku had stayed. Kohaku witnessed the murders. Somehow he survived. When I came back and found out about the taiji village I tried to find Kohaku, but he went missing." She took a small gasp of air, as if this was the most difficult thing she had ever done, I came closer to her, and took her lonely hand that was laying on the wooden floor. She looked at me surprised and blushed but I motioned her to continue "I went on a travel to find him... but wherever I went he had already being there... I knew he was alive because I always received a letter from him, just like this one..." she tighten her hold on the letter, and finally a tear escaped her eye, I grasped her hand gently.
"It's being three years... three years since I last saw him... Houshi-sama..." she whimpered this time letting herself go and gripping into my robe, crying. I sighed and patted her head gently. "Lady...Sango... it's going to be alright..." I whispered, then came her outburst reply "No! It's not going to be alright! He was just a kid!!! He witnessed how his mother, father and friends were killed! He wrote to me once, telling me how he couldn't sleep, how the nightmares kept invading him every night. Always writing "I'm glad you're alive onee-chan.... I wish I could see you but I can't..." I never knew why Houshi-sama!! I never knew why he never came to me!!" I hugged her close to me and whispered "What matters is that he will come to you now... after all this years he has come to you..." Sango sniffed in my robe and looked at me with teary eyes and smiled "Thank you Houshi-sama..." I was getting tired of hearing that annoying Houshi-sama "Please just call me Miroku, Lady Sango." She frowned "Just as long as you stop calling me Lady Sango!" I laughed at this "Very well, Sango."
And we stayed in a comfortable silence and I still held her hand in mine and an arm wrapped around her.
I stayed in the dojo for a while, I had to think what I was going to do next.
Was I really going to stay in my brother's palace? The place I had fled from a long, long time ago?
I heard soft footsteps nearing the dojo, I turned around and saw a servant popping her head through the door, she skipped when she saw me and rapidly apologized "I'm sorry my Lord if I disturbed you, I'll leave you alone now." And she quickly disappeared, I couldn't help but follow her, I cried out "Hey come back!" the servant turned around and looked at me ashamedly, I could now see her clearly. She had dark purple hair, tide in a low pony tail, locks of hair escaped the tail, her hair wasn't long but shone like amethyst. Her red deep eyes shone in the darkness of the hall and the moon light reflected in them like a red mirror. Her pale skin almost looked blue because of the moon light. She wore a pinkish kimono and black sandal, which meant she was part of Sesshoumaru's staff. Her expressionless face made me feel awkward.
Finally after a long silence her whispery voice rang in the corridor.
"What may I help you with, my Lord?" she bowed low in front of me, that made me feel embarrassed, never had anyone treated me like that before I quickly said "Please, there is no need for such formalities, I'm not even the Lord of this palace!" I laughed nervously, this woman was making me so damn nervous.
"But that can't be." She started again "You look exactly the way the other girls described you: tall, golden eyes, silver hair, are you not Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands?" came her icy curious voice again. I laughed at the comment and said "I'm his brother InuYasha." The girl skipped in her place and bowed lower "Oh my! I beg your apology sir, it's just that I came in yesterday, I'm new here." She started uttering softly. I chuckled and said happily "There's nothing to worry about miss... ?" she quickly finished for me "Shiratori, Shiratori Tomoe, sir." I chuckled again and smiled at her "Please don't call me sir, it makes me feel old!" she blushed, her pale cheeks colored slightly made me smile. "It's a pleasure InuYasha-sama." I laughed even harder, apparently habits died hard for her.
"The pleasure is mine Tomoe-san..." I whispered, somehow tasting her name in my mouth, it seemed rather nice.
Kagome entered the springs and felt reborn, she sighed "This feels good! I sure deserved this after the day I've being through!" she exclaimed happily, soaking her face in the warm liquid. She could feel her muscles relax, her fury buddy was damp and floating in the water "You like that don't you?" she asked humored by her new "friend". The fury thing moved on some sort of nod and kept floating in the springs.
True this had being a long day.
She had so much to think about: Was Sesshoumaru in love with her? Or was he instead just attracted to her as any other male seemed to be?
She sighed again thinking her love was lost 'Lust and Love are totally different matters...' she thought rubbing her hands together. She then heard the sound of footsteps walking towards the springs, she gasped 'I hope it's not HIM!!' she screamed in her mind she then heard the soft thud of clothes falling over the floor and the small splash of water as a body entered the spring.
'Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. OH MY GOD!!' Kagome thought when she felt the waves of the water reaching her. She gasped again when she heard his voice. "Kagome?" he asked as if he didn't know she was there, she flinched making him know she was near. "I know you're here." he announced chuckling, Kagome was now all flushed and it wasn't because of the springs.
'I'm naked in the springs, which means that Sesshoumaru, being at the same spring as I, is also naked..... God what do I do?' she asked herself frantically but mumbled a faint "Hai?" he chuckled at this, knowing she was surely embarrassed, he reached his arm to touch her and took her arm in his strong grip, she gasped but couldn't run away, he pulled her over to him, they could see each other clearly although most of Kagome's body was hiding under the water. She could see his well build chest and abs, he was from far away the most beautiful creature she had ever lead her eyes on. She gulped.
"Are you happy to be here?" he asked out of nowhere, Kagome looked at him stunned but still she nodded, this made Sesshoumaru frown, normally she would elaborate a lot more in her answer, he then looked at her from the corner of his eye and noticed she was flushing, he smirked and decided to tease her a little more. With his fluffy thing he pulled her closer to him, she started to panic "Hum... Sesshoumaru?.." she asked almost chocking. He purred in her ear seductively "Yes my lady?" she was about to melt in his touch when curiosity took the better of her, as usual.
"I've being meaning to ask you... what is this fluffy thing we both have?" she asked and as in a cue her fluffy wet thing started rubbing itself against Sesshoumaru's. Sesshoumaru sighed and leaned against the stone border of the spring, not letting go of Kagome's small waist "Well.." he started, moving his fluffy thing along Kagome's back, rubbing it gently. She leaned in his touch for a long time almost feeling sleepy at his silky fur.
Kagome gulped nervously "Wh-what are you doing?" she asked in between gulps he smirked mischievously and said "I control it... I can make it move, it's a part of me, just like yours..." then he realized her fluffy thing was also caressing his arms. 'Interesting..' he thought. He kissed her softly, and she kissed him back, passion building quickly in the air.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lemmon coming up (skip it if you don't want to read.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although Kagome didn't want to admit it, she was about to burst from desire, her piece of fur rubbing against he soaked body spoke of it's own. She was now tomato-red she could hardly breath and her hands were shaking, he was messing with her emotions, she could tell by the hint of naughtiness in his eyes, but she couldn't resist him. Her body was limb, her eyes were burning with desire, her mouth slightly open, her breathing hard and active.
He was close to loose control, his body so close to hers, her wet skin touching in split seconds making electricity run through his body. Her wet hair loosen over her face and small shoulders, her eyes inviting him to take her there and then, her mouth tempting him to taste her, he finally gave in.
His lips took hers in a feverish dance, tasting every corner, every inch and side of them, with his fur he pulled her closer, her breast touching his chest and his legs tangling with hers, her hair invading his in the moment of passion. He could hear her moan softy into his mouth making desire lead his every action, he put a hand on the back of her neck, crashing his lips strongly against hers, caressing her hair and biting her lower lip temptingly. He roamed his free hand along her belly and hips, waiting for her approuval to go lower as he wanted to. Kagome was overwhelmed, her body groaned and howled with desire, she couldn't think straight she could only feel and enjoy the taiyoukai's tasty lips taking over hers. When she felt his hand travel her body underwater, she moaned and plead for more. She then felt his claws tracing her legs going slowly up in between her legs. She let go of the few estrangements holding her back. She licked Sesshoumaru's lips slowly making him moan and plead for more, she teased him moving a hand down and up his chest and pulling his head up so she could work his neck.
She could hear him growl loudly when she traveled her tongue, placing butterfly-kisses down his neck, he was pulling her hair in despair, begging to be touched, and begging her to let him touch her. She went back to his lips and gave him a pick in the lips before teasingly ask "What do you want?" he looked down at her in a daze and said out of breath "You." In a swift movement his fingers were circling in between her legs, she could feel him touching her, but still not entering her. She moaned and he anxiously kissed her hard, slipping his tongue inside her cold mouth, she had being patting so hard her mouth was icy cold. Sesshoumaru enjoyed the feeling of his hot tongue battling her cold one. But he wasn't going to let her have all the fun. He stopped the kissing, she was breathing hard and looked at him puzzled, he smirked and with a swift movement he used his fur to clasp her hands together not letting her move. She was surprised and gasped while he chuckled "My turn." He announced in a low voice, he fingers slowly finding their way into her, she muffled his name in between breaths. He started kissing her cheek then trace her chin and neck down to her breast while entering her with his finger. When she felt his claws teasing her nipples she squealed, closing her eyes shut.
'Sensitive aren't we?' he chuckled in is mind before slowly caressing the nipple with both his hands, in a circled motion. She moaned and whined at first, wanting to get her hands free from his strong grip. She winced when she realized she couldn't escape him, he growled softly in her neck.
After a while Sesshoumaru stopped his touch, knowing very well his limits.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
End of Lemmon (more to come up on other chapters!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
He roamed her face with his lips and started biting her neck gently and then in a low possessive voice, he declared "Be mine."
I gasped at the rough and determinant tone of his voice, I opened my eyes to see him watching me with his strong burning golden orbs. He put a hand on my cheek and announced "Let me be yours to keep Kagome... I want to be a part of you...." He whispered only for me to hear. Suddenly all around me seemed to vanish, to disappear in a split second, only he and I remained, close... touching... his voice ringing in my head. He kissed me chastely and pulled back whispering "Be my mate... for ever... accompany me like you have done so since the very first day you decided on staying..." he took my hand in his and kissed it "Stay here... with me, and I'll see that all of your desires come true... I promise..." I gulped and then saw him pull up my wrist and declare "As human's would say: "Be my wife Kagome."..." he said. I was speechless and in a second I launched at him, kissing him feverishly and finally cried out "Yes, I'd love to... oh Sesshoumaru!" he laughed and hugged her back, feeling his naked body against hers.
He took again my wrist, I looked at him puzzled and he said with a sorry voice "I need to do this in order to announce that you're my mate... it will only hurt a little, please bear it..." I nodded and smiled. Then I felt his sharp fangs break through my skin, he sucked the blood on my wound and kissed it. I suddenly felt a very big urge to kiss him passionately. He stopped me and held up his own wrist "You need to do the same..." he said almost in a ordering tone, I looked doubtfully at his wrist, he smile to reassure me and then I bit it.
I could hear him moan, his blood was sweet and tasty, after my fangs had cut through his skin I started licking the remains of blood, I apologized "I'm sorry if it hurt..." He chuckled at my comment "Silly woman, it is not pain I feel, it's more...." He pulled me closer to him his chest firmly against mine "it's... more like... need." and he crashed his lips against mine.
"Sesshoumaru?" she asked after we broke from the kiss, I looked at her intently, how beautiful she was, I smiled when I thought she was only mine now, only mine, I asked "Yes koi?" she blushed and smiled and said "I love you." catching my eyes with her own, I smiled and hugged her tightly.
Words were meaningless, she sighed in understanding and hugged me back.
Love has no need for words.
