Chapter 35
Faraway stars twinkle over a forest, which seem to be suffering from insomnia at the present. The reason of the forest's restlessness lies within a rather lively cave nestled in a lush area of the forest. Getting closer to the cave you see demons of many races walking in and out of bustling, now better lighted cave, drinking, dancing, laughing and just bluntly being merry. Going farther into the cave you see more and more frolicking party-goers eating, dancing and drinking and then into the main room where most of the alcoholic fun is.
"Shin... I don't think I've met any of these people! Why did you invite me, anyways?!" You whine annoyed to the bat demon swishing the liquid around in your cup.
"Well, go out and be social, (your name), they're all friendly! If anything, some of them may be mean drunks! And I invited you because I know you'd be pissed if I didn't, alright! Two Greeks with extra spice, please!" Shin replies tapping down on the table to the bartender.
"Fine!" You snap shrugging and picking up the drink the bartender just sat in front of you. Looking down at the drink you see your reflection in the green tinted drink. "What is this?" You ask taking a small sip of the drink.
"It's a Greek with extra spice!" Shin replies downing his cup in one gulp.
"No, I meant-"
"Yo, Shin!" Your cut off when a burly, horned demon walks over.
"Hello Koba, I believe you've heard of my friend, (your name), (your name), this is Koba." Shin greets gesturing to you.
"Hello little missy , nice to meet you!" Koba says grinning at you and you politely nod and smile back. "So, Shin, I bet that I can finish 500 Cozos before you and still be on my toes!"
"Oh yeah? Why don't we make it a challenge and add 500 more?" Shin asks as a fire sparks in his eyes.
"Oh? Feeling daring are we? How about 500 more?" Koba asks grinning.
"You're on, snake shit!"
"Try to keep up, bat bitch!" Koba replies as the two walk away to an empty table to begin their bet.
You laugh lightly at the two daring, alcoholic demons before downing the rest of your own fruity, green liquid. Getting slightly addicted to the liquid you order a few more for the road. Downing your last cup of the liquor you start to taste a hint of alcohol in it, unlike the last few. Having your last dose, you nod to the bartender, and then go about your way leaving the stand.
Your gaze sets upon your bat demon pal and his snake buddy who are supposedly in a drinking contest right now. But, what's the use of having a drinking contest between to very old demons, who probably aren't affected by the stuff? Well, Shin's probably packing some triple extra affective alcohol, that's why! But, anyways, as you can see the bat demon is currently hosting a New Year's bash. But, of course he didn't know of the New Year's until you gave him your promised explanation for everything and there we are!
A small smile graces your face as you walk through the chaos, seeing how much fun everyone is having. As you continue to walk through the cave towards the exit, you spot the twins, Naomi and Kaori dancing together on top of a table with a few other participants and also becoming the entertainment for a mostly male audience. You snicker lightly as the male audience cheers them on and you continue on your short quest to the exit.
"Hey (your name)!!" You hear Naomi yell and stop. When you turn around you see the teen before you grinning. "Hi , wanna come dance with me and Kaori? We need a third person for our next step!!"
"...Um, how about some other time, right now I wanna go-"
"Find Sesshoumaru? Oh I know, (your name), we all know." She says nodding with a large smirk while wiggling her eyebrows.
"...You know... You all know what?" You ask raising an eyebrow. "Naomi, whatever you've been hitting tonight, you should lay off of it for a while..."
"I-I haven't hit anyone tonight, (your name), what gave you that idea? Am I giving everyone that impression?" She asks sadly clasping her hands together with a slight slur.
"Ah, Naomi, I meant-"
"It's alright, (your name), if you wanna keep denying it, it's alright, but you can't deny it forever, just remember that, well I gotta go, see ya'!" She says laughing and walking back to her performance.
"What the hell?" You mutter as a fat bead of sweat rolls down your face. "By looks of whatever she's been drinking, I think Shin's been giving the good stuff to everyone else, except me." You mutter chuckling as you set back on your quest to the exit.
Naomi and Kaori...? A few months prior, Naomi told you that she'd hang around the area for a while because the villages around here could use some help and Kaori...? Ever since you all left the castle she's been hanging around the cave, nearby villages and of course Naomi... Supposedly, they're sisters, long story short, they were separated at birth and are supposed to be twins, too, but the only person that can't seem to see the resemblance is you, they're complete opposites if you look them directly in the face!
Just as soon as you breathe in the fresh air of the night a strange dizziness hits you, which almost sends you spiraling to the ground, but you grab on to the cave wall.
"Ne, (your name)!" I rather chipper voice calls and you glance in the direction to see Rin and Ryochi.
"Yes Rin?" You ask leaning on the cave wall.
"Can Rin sleep over here, with Ryochi, tonight? It's so fun!" The girl asks giggling.
"Uh, sure... Just ask Shin, too... When he's close to sober and don't stay up all night... And don't drink anything that smells funny and isn't tea..." You say pinching the bridge of your nose when you feel a signs of a headache.
"Alright (your name)! Good night!" Rin says and skips off with Ryochi.
"Good night..." You reply and release a sigh just when you feel the dizziness and ache fade away. "I guess I shoulda stopped at that third cup..." You mutter.
You push off the cave wall and walk further out into the night and forest, leaving the noise of the party behind. The song of crickets gets louder around you drowning out the noise of the party. A rustle of a nearby river fills your ears when a dizzy spell hits you head on again forcing you to lean on a tree. A bead of sweat travels down your forehead as you slide down into a crouch, leaning against the tree. The headache soon comes back as you slip into a sitting position against the tree. '...Shit... What is this ache?'
As it starts to fade away you slowly get to your feet. 'I wonder what was in those drinks...' You think glancing at lurking firefly. 'But, I'll have to beat Shin up later... Since now he's probably too smashed to feel pain...' You think sighing and standing up straightly. 'Though, this dizziness might just fade away itself...' You muse, pausing before following the retreating firefly.
As you get hot on the firefly's tail, going uphill, you enter a small clearing and the rustle of the river gets louder. You come to an abrupt stop frowning at the glowing insect who almost led you to walk straight into the river. You sigh at the escaping firefly and feeling half outwitted by nature again. As you turn around you notice your favorite dog demon leaning against a tree almost hidden in the shadows down the side of the river. A small smile creeps on your face as you approach him.
"Shin's party is going great, I bet everyone there's buzzed!" You say chuckling. As you continue to chuckle your expression suddenly turns sheepish. "Crap, maybe I shouldn't have left Rin there..."
You frown as you lean on the tree against the dog demon. 'Geez, I'm such a bad guardian! Rin could probably stumble upon a cup of who knows what and drink it out of curiosity! ... Or worst... Those perverts that Shin calls friends could-' You bite your lip fearing the worst. 'I'm just being paranoid... Shin wouldn't let anything like that happen, even if he was hammered... Maybe Sesshou-' You pause as you turn toward the dog demon to see him walking away. '-maru, has a better opinion...'
"Sesshoumaru, where are you going?" You ask quickly following after the dog demon.
"...Away" He replies as you try to make a matching pace with his longer strides.
"Why?" You ask pouting slightly.
"...You're thinking too loud." You half trip over a passing rock at his answer, but luckily don't fall flat on your face.
"If-if I'm thinking too loud, you should stop listening so hard..." You mutter crossing your arms. You receive silence as the dog demon's reply this time.
As silence falls around you two, your attention turns towards the night's sky. 'Hm, the stars look a lot brighter tonight, than last night... I wonder what the occasion is. Maybe they got a little drunk of Shin's party, too...' You think smiling.
"Ne, Sesshoumaru do you believe in fate?" You ask the dog demon half smiling and hoping to a strike a conversation.
"No" He replies and you glance at him frowning.
"Why? You've never had a coincidence?" You ask bemusedly.
"No, what happens to all beings is a result of cause and effect. Believing in fate is relying on it and I do not depend on such to lead me, those that do, blame it on results in their existence that they caused as a result of the lack of will they may have more or less." The dog demon finishes. You glance at the dog demon perplexedly before turning back towards the stars.
"If that's true, then how do you explain me being here with you?" You ask noticing the dog demon glance out the side of his eyes at you. "Or to be more precise, this." You ask touching the mark on your neck and inwardly smirking.
"...The same, believe what you like, but cause and effect is accurate." He replies finally coming to a halt beside you.
You frown turning away from him. 'What a strong grip of reality he has... A bit too strong... The arrogant son of- well, it is nice to know his opinion... Cause and effect, huh?' You muse staring back at the sky and gasp as you notice something crossing it.
"Ah, look! A shooting star!" You exclaim pointing at the falling star. 'Yosh! I'll make a wish!' You think and bow your head closing your eyes. As you open your eyes you feel yourself being lifted off the ground and being carried off by the bounding Sesshoumaru who seems to be going in the direction of the falling star.
"Where are we going?" You ask holding on bemusedly.
"To the shooting star"
"Why? I don't think it's really pretty when it lands..." You mention glancing down at the forest below.
"I do not believe that it was a real shooting star, but an opponent instead." The dog demon replies.
"Opponent?" You repeat when memories of opponents five months prior flash before your eyes. "Um, why don't check it out some other time?" You ask and the dog demon's bounding slows down.
"Don't you know whoever this opponent is they can endanger your race?" He asks as a small bead of sweat travels down your face.
"Yeah, that may be, but it may just be a shooting star and if we go see it now we're just going to waste our time looking at an ugly piece of space debris!" You counter.
"And you're willing to take that chance?" The dog demon asks landing on a tree branch.
"Yes" You answer calmly with ease, despite your nervous mind.
A cold, glass rim is tilted against parted lips and a warm, sweet liquid flows through the lips, warming the body of the drinker. You shiver slightly, feeling the calming liquid travel down your throat. A serene smile graces your face as you gently sit the mug on the table and the tap of glass against wood fractures the silence held in the room. Your eyes slowly roam around the dimly lit room, tracing the outline of the shadows in the corners, the glow of light from the fire, the scent of newly made tea placed on the wooden table lingering in the air, your eyes gradually ascend to your pensive companion.
His regular creamy white skin looked slightly tanned from the glow of the fire as he impassively stares into it. His notorious, trademark boa sits fluffily on his shoulder lying casually beside his regular, white gi, but this time without most of the armor he decided to take off. Shifting positions, he picks up his own mug of tea which ascends to his lips and tilts upwards allowing the warm liquid to flow through his lips. As the mug slowly descends, his eyes suddenly leave the fire and to match your own blank stare at you. Just before catching a weird glint in his amber eyes, you look away with a brief blush.
"I'm going to get ready for bed now." You say standing up and yawning. "Be right back."
You then head down the rather dim hall of the temple and into your room. You enter the shady room, which only light was from behind the makeshift curtain on the window. You then slip out of your day clothes and put on your yukata, and then brushing your hair. After finishing up, you roll out your futon then leave the room. Once entering the living room you frown noticing the dog demon's disappearance, after putting out the fire you head back to your room and sliding the door close.
You then walk towards the window pushing aside the bed sheet you used as curtain to look up at the stars and crescent moon. You sighing leaning forward onto the window seal getting a better view. Before the reveries can kick in you notice someone approaching you from behind and stopping with less than an inch of space between. You feel a clawed hand run your hair moving it behind your neck. The person leans in on you conquering the inch gap and dipping into your neck. The mystery person's tongue brushes against the bite-mark on your neck and soon starts to kiss and nip around the spot. You catch your breathe at the warm, moist contact.
"...Sesshoumaru...?" You whisper recognizing the familiar aura of the person. "...How long have you been in here?" The dog demon slowly stops his movements on your neck as his arms snake around your waist.
"...Since you began undressing..." He whispers and you shiver as his breathe brushes against your moist neck.
"Is this your way of telling me you're a closet pervert?" You ask feeling a hot blush on your cheeks.
"If that's so, it doesn't make any difference because you're enjoying it." He replies and goes back to your neck.
Inhaling deeply you tilt your head to the side eagerly providing more room for the busy dog demon. You then lean backwards against his chest, now feeling the movement of the lean muscles beneath his gi as he starts to pull you backwards. With the flick of his hands on your hips, you're turned around facing him and at once given a rough kiss. Just as soon the kiss ends and you're being pushed down onto your futon below. As you're given time to catch your breathe you slightly sit up to see the dog demon crouching over you, taking off his gi, and despite the darkness of the room you could still see the familiar creepy glint in his eye as he stares down at you. A tingly chill races down your spine as you feel yourself certain that you're about to be enlightened on whatever the meaning of the glint.
When the gi is finally discarded and boa close by he descends giving you another rough kiss. The kiss soon turns into a deep french and your tongues war with each other mercilessly, but despite your eagerness, Sesshoumaru's the victor as you're pushed flat against the futon. When the kiss is broke you catch your breath and shudder as the dog demon starts to trail rough kisses from your jaw line and down your neck. A clawed hand slowly slithers from your hips, over your tummy, and you stifle a moan as it presses and slides over your breast.
When your yukata is pulled open and discarded it's not a missed item as somehow the dog demon's kisses are upon your chest. Moaning his name as he nips and kisses your nipple, you remove your hand from his hair and slowly trail it down his solid and nicely chiseled abdomen. Your descent pauses as you stifle a moan and start to squirm when the dog demon switches sides. Getting lower and lower you finally reach your destination when your hand slides upon a rather firm bulge in the dog demon's pants.
When you hear and feel a deep purr emit from the dog demon's chest, a clean blush spreads across your cheeks as the bulge twitches against your touch. Curiously, your hand ascends getting to the rim of his hakama, but pausing as you attempt to pull apart his sash. As you continue to struggle with the sash your hands are pulled away when he rises and starts to remove them himself. As he slowly takes off his pants, you're hit with a light wave of dizziness once again. Panting slightly as the lightheadedness lingers, you look forward to see the dog demon looking down at your sweaty nude form with smirking eyes.
When his pants are finally removed he descends upon you again with another deep kiss. You moan through the kiss when a clawed hand starts to stroke your inner thighs. Just as soon as the kiss is broke, you feel a single clawed finger slide into your entrance. A loud, sweet moan escapes your mouth as the finger probes. You're legs are pushed apart farther as the finger is removed it's only replaced with... his tongue. You gasp and jerk against the assault as the dog demon massages your thighs.
"S-Sesshoumaru..." You moan drawling on his name, feeling all your senses working at once.
When his tongue is removed, you slump against the futon trying to catch your breathe. He soon captures your lips in another kiss and you moan softly as he explores the crevice of your mouth. He soon pulls away again and starts to spread your legs apart.
"... Do you want me to continue?" He asks huskily, gazing at you with glazed flaxen eyes.
"...O-Of course..." You gasp.
He smirks heatedly before descending again onto your breast. You moan as he nips and sucks your nipple and soon reaches the other. As soon as he pulls away both clawed hands return to your hips, holding you against the futon as he slowly eases into your wet entrance. You squeeze your eyes shut feeling the pain of the dog demon's thickness expanding your walls. The dog demon grunts in reply to your tightness. Your given time to adjust to the thickness when he trails kisses down your chest.
Just as soon he slowly slides out and back in and continuing on with the same slow rhythm. The pain fades away from your mind, blending in with all of your other senses as he rocks in and out of you at an agonizingly slow rhythm.
"S-Sesshoumaru... Please..." You pant desperately tugging on the dog demon's silky hair.
The dog demon descends once again and kisses your swollen lips. His rhythm gradually starts to get faster as you suckle his tongue. When the kiss is broke, he suddenly thrusts into you, much harder and faster grinding into your womanhood. You throw your head back in agony, moaning his name loudly as his drives only get faster and harder. As his thickness continues to pound effortlessly inside of you... You can't hold it anymore.
"Oh god! Sesshoumaru!!" You cry out as you spill over him, making him even sleeker.
As you crumple onto the futon the dog demon still grinds into you. You release another cry when he explodes inside you. He limply lies down beside you, after sliding out of you. Panting slightly, you roll over to lie on his chest and groan as your legs are closed. You grin as the feeling of content becomes you listening to the steady heartbeat of your demonic lover. What a beautiful night...
White... Pure, solid white, with a few mere bumps here and there, the ceiling of your room was a bit dull. Images from the previous night cross your half closed eyes and a brilliant blush heats your cheeks. So much for trying to clear the mind... But really, who can clear the mind the morning after? Especially, with how incomparably gifted Sesshoumaru is... You grin, sitting up and twitching when you feel an ache from the rear.
Your eyes slowly wander toward the dog demon standing beside the window, while tying the sash of his hakama around his waist. Your gaze ascends and lingers on his back. The lean muscles underneath the milky white skin of his back moved with every twitch his arms could make as he securely wraps and ties the sash. As seconds go by you continue to watch his back slightly mesmerized...
"...(your name)" The dog demon finally acknowledges snapping you out of your daze.
"Sesshoumaru, good morning!" You reply grinning and wiping the small trail of dribble from your mouth.
After searching the floor, you put on your yukata and approach the dog demon from behind. You come to a halt behind him, pausing when you glance out the window to see the fresh greenery of the morning.
"What's wrong?" He asks quietly.
"...Nothing, why would anything be wrong?" You reply in the same tone while not resisting the urge to trace circles along his back. "But, I guess to be truthful... I am a bit sore, but it's nothing that a few days can't wear out."
"As expected" He replies as a small heat tints your cheeks and you lay your cheek against his warm back and soft hair. "But, that doesn't explain why you woke up in such a frightened rush."
"Oh yeah, that..." You recall as your eyes lower to the floor. "I, um, just had a bad dream... It was about what happened 5 months ago, I didn't remember everything that happened then, so I guess this dream just fills in the blanks... Um, it started when I left the castle, I found you and I thought you were dead because at the time you weren't breathing. I tried to use the shikon no tama then, I guess it worked... But, I guess in the end I think it rejected me because it tried to electrocute me... I know I should be happy that-that you're dead and there won't be anyone stalking us for the shikon no tama anymore, since it's gone! But, I got a really creepy feeling that something bad is going to happen because I don't have the shikon no tama! And, I may be just a little paranoid, but if I was I could brush this feeling off til' tomorrow or next week!" You finish irately as tears start to pool in your eyes.
A strained silence feels the air of the room at the dog demon's lingering stillness. Frowning, you sniff, brushing a lock of hair behind your ear.
"Sesshoumaru?"
"... I wasn't dead." He finally says calmly.
"...What?! You weren't breathing!" You ask panicky. "How?!"
"Before you got there I was attacked by the one addressed as Kurayami, who attempted to prison me deep inside my subconscious mind, which is not unlike most of his tactics to break down or injure his opponent inner workings." He answers turning toward you. "And though that particular strategy may have been strong, it wasn't half as strong enough to threaten my life." He says narrowing his eyes and glaring at the wall. "But at the time you were possibly overreacting to realize that I'm not as easy to kill..."
You pause, thinking over his words before smiling faintly, and hastily hugging him.
"It's nice to know I was overreacting for once... But, then if you weren't dead, the shikon no tama shouldn't have just disappeared like that..." You whisper. "I really hope I'm overreacting now..."
As his arms slowly wrap around your waist, your gaze lingers on the window. A very colorful butterfly flutters by, pausing to greet your windowsill before floating away again into the forest. It must be a beautiful day outside, butterflies gliding, bees buzzing, birds singing... Too bad you couldn't cheer up, or do away with the nasty, creepy feeling nestled in the base of your gut. However, you would have to still enjoy the sunshine while it lasts no matter what because there will eventually be a storm coming in the future that you'd have to be prepared for. Best if you savor the sunshine while it lasts, right? Best of all after the storm, the sunshine will be all too sweeter...
To be continued...
