This had to be one of my best pieces of work... so to make it much more creditable, I edited this til my eyed bled. I want it to the best of my works... the absolute best... well besides another piece, but I'm not going to go there. Enjoy.

The darkened skies of the fedual era was brightened devilishly as an unusal light glowed down upon it. A lustful red moon hung in the sky, casting an errie midnight orange spotlight. The forest of the Western Lands was full of life, for some reason, seeming to be hyped with an unspeakable energy by the moon. Everywhere, the smells of sexual activity was in the stirred air. A certain taiyokai knew of why his lands were so excited this red moon.

Sesshomaru was carefully -yet gracefully- going through his nightly patrol. His father taught him to never go outside during a red moon. Never because it was mating season for dragons, a forceful and mischivious race that's said to be neither demon nor human. Why his father spoke of such a warning, Sesshomaru neither knew nor cared. However, he did keep his wits about him as he made his way back home.

His father told him that dragons, during these full moons, were not in their right of minds. The first figure that a dragon would see that seemed like a worthy mate would be pounced upon and mated... sometimes raped.

/- You can't rape the willing -/ Sesshomaru thought bitterly.

Why? He didn't know. Probably because the reason his father locked the doors to the mansion during the red moons was because Inuyasha's mother had been 'raped' while going outside to play with the mansion's pet. However, Sesshomaru could tell that the wench had enjoyed been forced upon by the dragon that mated her. However, it was a dry mate and she wouldn't bere a child. Sesshomaru growled.

/- That slut of a human woman; stating she was raped when she utterly enjoyed it. -/

Finding himself being distracted from the focus watching his surroundings, Sesshomaru shooked his head slightly, coming back from memory lane. Seeing his mansion from a few miles away, the lord sighed. He had to admit, he was a little worried about being pounced upon... not that he couldn't take care of himself, but now that he was almost home, he could leave the unneeded stress behind him.

/- Besides, I don't have dragons in my territory any longer. Only the Southern and Northern lands have dragons. I have nothing to worry about -/

Walking deeper into the forest, Sesshomaru partly dropped his guard, finally relaxing after talking himself out of not being bothered. However -but he would never admit this to himself- Sesshomaru would always have a certain fear of the red moon.

Unbeknowst to the taiyokai, a figured had been following him since he left his mansion, waiting for him to drop that guard of his and sigh in relief. A mischievious smile painted onto its lips as it disappeared back into the shadows.

Sesshomaru, with his guard still down, gasped lightly as an outlined figured came from his left, but then dissapeared. Huffing, the lord put his guard back up, walking slower to keep his wits about him. The same outline, seen as a woman this time, came from the right... and then vanished. Sesshomaru stopped, growing; tired of the games this -obviously- female was playing. His face stayed cool and emotionless, shifting his eyes back and forth in the deep, orange-light laced forest.

Finally, the woman showed herself in front of him. Something, however,wasn'tsitting rightwithin the taiyoukai lord's head, making him edgy. One; she was a dragon... due to the ocean blue wings folded against her back. Two; her teal blue eyes were full of the excitement that Sesshomaru had sensed all around the forest. Three; she approched him as if he was another, not specialdemon... in a trance.

/- This dragon is under the seasonal influence of tonight's red moon... but what's a dragon doing in my lands? Is there a tribe living here that I don't know about? -/

The moonlight hit the woman, giving a clear view of the stalker in the forest. A slim waist, tall stature, toned body, large bust, gold and blue armor along the chest and hips. A sapphire in her forehead. Sessomaru's eyes narrowed as the woman finally stood in front of him, her eyes stilled tranced.

Not budging from his place, Sesshomaru glared at the dragon, his eyes seeming to burn holes.

"Why do you stalk me, dragon?" He demanded.

The shoujo-ryu didn't respond, but instead, looked down at the limp sleeve where Sesshomaru's arm was missing for the longest time. A smirk formed on the female's lips, making the taiyoukai huff.

/- She probably sees me as unworthy of a mate because of my missing arm. -/

Suddenly, stunning him, the dragoness touched the sleeve, looking at it with great concentration. Looking back at Sesshomaru, who was still surprised -but emotionless- he could read the dragon wanted him to sit down.

"Why should I?" He asked in monotone.

She narrowed her eyes, finding the answer to be quite obvious. Not saying a work, Sesshomaru decided to concede, seeing that he would gain his arm back. Sitting against a nearby tree, he looked at the ryu with impatience, hoping she would hurry up. He did smirk slightly, seeing the surprised look on her face from his show of small submission.

/- Probably because she can't believe I listened to her. However, I'm just going to get back my arm, and nothing more. If she thinks that I'll bed with her afterwards she's saddly mistaken. -/ He thought bitterly.

Slowly, the unknown woman sat beside him, folding the loose sleeve up until the forearm showed. She frowned as she touched it, making Sesshomaru flinch. The tenderness of the ryu's hands startled him. It felt like warm feathers brushing against his numb skin... but suddenly, he could feel in those areas... and even move.

The taiyoukai looked down, seeing his new arm engulfed with a bluish glow. While the ryu worked on more on his arm, she began to stroke the flesh, seeming to bring it back to life. So beautiful was this female's touch that Sesshomaru found himself biting his lip to supress a moan. Finally, feeling his left arm in the longest time, he flexed his fingers, almost frightened of it.

/- It's been too long... since I've been able to feel anything with this arm... and I'm thankful that the first I could feel was this ryu's wonderful fingers. -/

The woman smiled at her handy work, rubbing his shoulder and down to his clawed fingers. Sesshomaru's mask was brought down for the first in many years, seeming to be in debt to the dragoness. With his right arm, he cupped her chin, startling the tranced creature. He, himself, was also a little bothered that he was warming up to this woman so quickly when he just told himself that he was going to leave her as soon as his arm was back.

/- I can't help it. She's done so much for me. I knew I was getting my arm back, but I didn't know how much it would affect me. I'm in debt to her... -/ He whispered in his mind.

Forcing the ryu to look at him, the taiyokai flexed his newly formed arm again before asking, "What is your name?"

Her tranced eyes widening, she smiled weakly... resting her palms on his chest tenatively.

"Tenshika. I'm glad I could help you..." She whispered, her voice somewhat deep for a woman's.

Sesshomaru smiled rarely, holding the female closely with his new arm. He drew her face closer, his warm breath tingling her mouth.

"I'm thankful that you helped me, Tenshika."

Slowly, without thinking, he closed the distance between then, surcoming to his own overwhealming lust and flattery. Tenshika's lips were as soft as her touch as she moaned from surprise... and tranced lust. The dog lord took it as submission and his hands moved to her back, rubbing it affectionately. However -with his eyes closed as he enjoyed the sensation- he didn't see the smirk forming on the woman's pucked lips.

/- He's now worthy. His seed shall make a great child for the tribe. -/

With that, her hands moved south as the taiyokai was taken as a willing prisoner by the seduction of the red moon.
