Wounded
The sun rose over the forest, casting its light everywhere the eye could see. Every creature was brought to life by the light save for two who slept soundly within one clearing. Creatures looked on in aw at the two demons who slept cuddled in each others arms. No one dared to disturb them as they slept. The sun's light soon found the two demons, trying to wake them from their peaceful slumber. They merely smiled and cuddled closer, trying to evade the waking world.
Karappo was the first to awaken. She opened her ebony eyes slowly, so not to be blinded. She dared not to move when she felt an arm wrapped around her body and a head resting upon hers. She also felt something very fluffy against her face. She looked up to see the dream-like face of SesshoMaru. She felt a smile pull at her lips when she gazed at his face. He looked as though he were having a wonderful dream. His eyes were shut and his eyebrows were straight. His mouth was pulled into a small smile. A strand of his silver hair had fallen upon her face. It was soft as silk, just like she had dreamed it would be. A true smile appeared upon her face as she recalled her dream.
She was running to the well after she had seen Inuyasha and Kikyo. She ran with her face in her hands, tears flowing freely between her fingers. She collapsed when she reached the well. She had no strength to jump, only cry. So she cried. She did not know when he had joined her, she only felt his hand upon her shoulder. She looked at him with tearstained eyes. After a moment, she threw herself into his arms and cried into his shoulder. He gently stroked her hair and whispered words of comfort to calm her down. When she pulled from him, he gently whipped away her tears with his thumb. He continued to comfort her with his words as he leaned toward her. Soon, their lips met and they shared a kiss so passionate, cupid would have been jealous. She wrapped her arms around his neck and caressed his silken hair as he continued to kiss her mouth.
Karappo remembered the dream so vividly. It was unbelievable. She knew she felt something for the demon that currently was asleep with her cuddled in his arm and tail. She knew it was something like lust but it wasn't lust. She was confused. She didn't understand. She looked at his face again. Maybe she just liked him because he was every girls fantasy guy? But that was lust, wasn't it? She let her confusion drift away as memory of her dream resurfaced. She felt the same burning as the day before but it was ten fold. She sighed as she tried to calm down. She decided she needed more sleep. Before she did so, she looked to his face once again, but this time, his golden eyes were open and gazing at her.
SesshoMaru had awoken to the beautiful scent of Karappo mixed with jasmine. He looked down at the woman nestled in his arm and tail and smirked. She was fast asleep. He laid his head upon hers and felt her stir. He knew she had woken up but what he wanted to know was how she would react to being within his embrace. At first, she remained motionless. Then, he felt her shift to look at him. The moment she turned her head to him, he closed his eyes and waited for her to turn away. He continued to gaze at her until she turned to him again. Once she had turned away, he opened his eyes again and continued to gaze at her. He sighed silently as memories of his wonderful dream resurfaced.
He was stroking her snow white face with his hand. She leaned into his hand as he leaned forward and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. They kissed for what seemed like an eternity. When they pulled apart, he trialed kisses down her jaw line and down her neck. Her delicate hands grasped on to his back and hair as she tilted her head back in pleasure. When he reached the edge of her cloths, he slowly pulled them off of her body. First went her sleeveless, leather, trench coat. Then, her black, long sleeved shirt. Finally, her fishnet top. He pulled back to gaze at the beauty before him. Her head was leaning to one side, her bangs falling out of place to reveal her angelic face. Her black markings showed brightly in contrast to her pale skin. He could find nothing to compare her ivory skin to as his gaze traveled to her womanly mounds. He grabbed one with his hand as he renewed their kiss.
SesshoMaru felt the burning downstairs and wished it would go before Karappo noticed. He returned his gaze to her as she turned to gaze at him. Shock was evident in her eyes as she turned to him. She had apparently believed that he was asleep. He smirked at her as he shifted. She tried to get up while he shifted but his arm held her in place. After he had settled, they rested for a few more hours within each others arms. SesshoMaru hoped that Karappo not resisting remaining in his embrace was a sign that she actually cared for him at least a little bit. He knew he would be crushed if she didn't. Around noon, they packed up and left the clearing. They walked through the forest in silence, not saying a word about that morning, though it haunted both of their minds.
