Chapter 15

Kagome was angry with Sesshomaru's stubborn and jealous behavior. She wanted to kick and scream, but it would be useless in the end. What was she supposed to do to stop a six foot tall taiyoukai? So she sucked it up and helped him dress for the short trip. Kagome thwarted several attempts to ravish her again, before they were finally able to leave.

When they stepped outside he immediately smell it. That scent was there and so was the man, who was now seated on a bench under a cherry tree near the entrance of the apartment building. He pulled Kagome close to his side. She smiled up at him, as she assumed this was a loving hug from her mate. Not that he minded. Any time he could touch her gave him great pleasure.

Turning the corner he noticed the car. It slowly began to pull out behind them. He stopped and pulled Kagome to his chest he leaned down closely to her cheek, "Listen carefully my little miko, There is a man now walking that has been following us since we left the building. There are two more humans in an automobile that are trailing us as well. When I step to other side of this tree, I want you to follow. Stay just out of sight until I return. I'll only be a moment my koi."

Kagome could not believe her ears. People were following her? Who...why? At the tree she did as he said. She blinked and he was gone. Sesshomaru came out behind the car. Too fast for human eyes to see. As the blur of white light passed behind them poison claws raked across rubber tires. These two would not be following him today. He was back by Kagome's side before the two men could get out of the car.

As for the man following them. Sesshomaru was tempted to allow this, simply to study the mans actions. He took Kagome's hand in his, assured her of their safety, and promised he didn't kill anyone. They proceeded to Kenta's shop. Sesshomaru knew that the human followed them every step of the way. When they arrived he quickly took his leave as he'd promised he would stay near, but out of sight. Kagome went inside and he waited. The stranger following them, also went in the shop.

He could smell her tears before he could see her. Sesshomaru flew down to the storefront, afraid that she was hurt. When she stepped out of the doors, he knew that it was only tears from the heart. That human male was nothing to him, but his miko cared for him and her pain was his own. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and walked slowly beside her while she shed her tears. She only spoke once to comment that she'd noticed a strange smell in the shop. From the corner of his eye Sesshomaru noticed the man was behind them once more.

When they arrived at the apartment he escorted her up. She wanted to be alone for a little while, and he had something to do. He gave her a tender kiss and went to the roof to 'meditate'. From his perch he could clearly see the man sitting on the bench. With a swoop of white light he stood beside him. His odor offended Sesshomaru's sensitive nose. The smell was very strong on this human, much stronger than on Kenta.

"Suminasen (Pardon me), Sesshomaru said, I would like to have a word with you." The man was young, and looked quite surprised. He hesitated at first, unsure of what to do. The man finally stood and rudely asked what the hell he wanted. "You're making this too easy," Lord Sesshomaru said with a growl. With speed no human could match, he grabbed the man by the throat. He slammed him against the trunk of a tree toward the back of the apartment building. The fool almost pissed his pants. With a face and voice void of emotion, Sesshomaru spoke, "I will let you live if you answer some questions that are plaguing me." The little man was trembling in fear. Sesshomaru had to fight hard to contain the blood beast. When he agreed to this the taiyoukai lowered him to the ground, very slowly.

"Little man, be warned, I will take your life if you cross me." His voice had taken on an unearthly rumble, which threatened to bring tears to the human. "Why do you follow my mate and I?" The man told him that he did so by Kenta's orders. He was only supposed to report what he saw. Sesshomaru was not surprised by his answer, it just verified what he already assumed. "Who is this, Kenta, really?" With that question he lost him. The low class ningen went into a blubbering fit, begging for his life. He said that Kenta would kill him. "Do you not think that I, Sesshomaru, will not take your life?" The man was a whimpering baka. He dropped him to the ground, "Tell your boss, that if he values his life, he will send no more men to follow my mate and I." He watched in thought, as the little man scurried away holding his throat.

Landing on the roof, Sesshomaru turned to gaze toward Tokyo. If he had not witnessed the change from his era with his very eyes, he would never have believed it possible. There was no evidence of the beautiful woodlands of his time. The number of humans amazed him. He felt a sadness knowing that those days of fresh clean air and cool streams of crisp water were gone forever. Here he stood... an ancient being in a modern world. What humans call monster. If not for his miko, he would never be able to accept this fate. She gave him the will to accept the things that he had no power over. He would survive this era.

Inside he found Kagome digging in her closet. The tears had stopped, which made Sesshomaru feel much better. She turned to him when he walked in. She wondered if she would ever quit being amazed at his sensual beauty. Every time he walked into the room her heart would pound in her ears. Now she had to deal with his scent as well. It was hearty and smooth, and pleasantly made her week in the knees. She was sure that his scent would be the hardest thing to get used to. She stopped her search and leaned against the door jam. She had something she needed to tell him.

"Guess what, Kagome smiled at her lover, I received a phone call from my college professor. He congratulated me on my new job at the university!" She began bouncing up and down in her excitement. "I've already called mom, Souta and Ayumi, and she promised to call Miyu who will tell everyone else. This is what I've wanted for so long!" Sesshomaru watched as her breasts bounced. They looked like they were calling him to hold them in place. He reached out to help them, but Kagome popped his hand.

"Men! I'm telling you the best news ever and you can't think of anything but my boobs," Kagome huffed! Sesshomaru couldn't contain the laugh that sprang forth. He grabbed her by the waist and picked her up, swinging her around in graceful circles. She began laughing with him and he brought her to his chest. "Anything that makes you happy miko, makes this Sesshomaru happy as well." He took her lips into his own. Her sweet softness giving way to him. He lay her back on the bed and ran his hands over her entire body. Never breaking her gaze he moved his hands over her breasts. He squeezed them and rubbed at the nipple beneath her shirt.

Kagome reached up and unbuttoned her blouse. She removed her bra and reveled in the feel of his hands on her breasts. Slowly they kneaded the mounds of creamy flesh. With one claw he traced the line down her flat stomach, making chill bumps form in it's wake. He stopped to unbutton the jeans she wore. When it looked like he may shred them into a million pieces, she removed them for him, also slipping off her panties. She then reached up and unbuttoned his shirt. Her heart raced at the feel of his chest under her hands. She freed him of his pants and smiled widely as she released his confined manhood.

He lay over her allowing their body heat to become one. Her scent filling his head as he bit playfully at her throat. His nipping caused a rise of sensation in Kagome. A wild and awesome need calling out from her very core. In her lust filled frenzy she bit down on his neck. The pain of it sent a charge through her lover. He growled and lightly raked fangs at her throat, bringing blood, which he eagerly lapped up. His eyes glazed red and his feisty mate arched her body against him. Her moans of pleasure filled his ears as he suckled her breasts in his mouth. Playfully biting and pulling at her creamy brown nipples. Her groans were addictive, as he wanted to hear more. He pulled her legs open and pushed a claw into her moist depths. She bucked her hips up to meet his hand. He pulled it out and thrust it in once more. Over and over as she tossed and cried out to him. He pulled the claw to his mouth to taste her essence. Mmm... her taste was exquisite. No longer could he wait, he must be inside her.

He pulled her to the floor with one powerful arm. She landed on her knees. She felt his hand on her back. He pushed her down. She could feel his erection pressing into her. A groan of delight peeled from her lips. She wanted this badly. She needed him to take her. His hands slid up to grasp her tiny waist, and he pulled her onto him hard. Her breath caught in her throat as he thrust himself into her time and time again. His claws cut her skin, but she was too absorbed in their sexual union to feel any pain.

Her ecstasy brought forth her release. It rocked her body with spasms of pleasure. She felt him stiffen and he let out a deep growl as his seed poured into his mate. His mouth covered her neck and pain shot up her shoulder. His tongue moved against the wound as he drank of her greedily. He pulled her to him, his eyes still red, while he slid his clawed forefinger across the base of his neck. The crimson fluid sprang forth and he pushed her mouth to it. She suckled his wound and felt the orgasm building. Kagome screamed out as it tore through her body, leaving her breathlessly, staring into Sesshomaru's amber gaze.
