Chapter Seven Sex as a Weapon

Mitsuko awoke to the sun shining brightly in the trees. Looking quickly, she noticed Sesshomaru was nowhere to be seen. I wonder where he is. Surely he did not just get up and not tell me. When Mitsuko realized Sesshomaru had done exactly that. Anger swelled up inside her. Why would he do that after she had spent the night sleeping in the cold to make sure he was alright? Why? Because he was nothing more then a cold hearted beast, well it was defiantly time for the beast to come to his knees. Today she would truly give Sesshomaru hell. No more would she act different around him. She did not understand her body lately; it seemed to desire the control of the inu while her mind screamed to be free of him. Well her mind was back in control and now Sesshomaru would pay. Mitsuko walked back to the others with that smirk on her face again not knowing a pair of golden eyes watched her.

Sesshomaru groaned to himself. It would appear he would have another miserable day because the human was upset with him. He was going to have to teach her her place today.

Two figures walked back to join the others of their group. Both were plotting the downfall of the other in various ways, one slightly bloodier then the other. Neither one knew they would each contribute to their own downfall. Neither could bring the other to their knees, but they would bring themselves to their knees before this battle was over. Mitsuko believed herself to be supreme in the way all females do simply because her opponent was in her words "an ignorant male". While Sesshomaru believed himself to be immune to the human and her charms, both would have to come to terms with their own failings. This was going to be a day for the fates and gods amusement.

They had been walking for half the day; Sesshomaru was still waiting for the human to say something. He was becoming very nervous. He remembered his mother not talking to his father for a few days, when she did speak to him his father got the surprise of his life. His young mate had taken his once powerful and feared army from the fierce black and red haori's and spiked amour and make them into the joke of all four lands. When Inu Tashio went to check on his army one morning he found them all wearing flower printed kimono's with flower wreaths in their hair. Their amour was gone and their weapons were replaced with delicate sewing needles and material. It was very amusing watching war hardened youkai try to please their lady by doing needlepoint but it was also a blow to his fathers' pride. The Lady of the Western Lands soon got her wish and was no longer required to do needlepoint.

He felt her presence at his side; looking at her under the fall of a silver cascade he could see she wanted to say something.

"What is it human?" Keeping his voice distant he managed to not let her know of his nervousness.

"Oh, I was just wondering who the hanyou was from yesterday." Mitsuko asked with a bit of a sweet smile. As soon as Sesshomaru saw that smile he was lost. He never thought to question why she would want to know.

"He is my half brother, Inuyasha. He is weak and should not draw breath." This seemed to be the perfect answer to Sesshomaru.

"Oh." Mitsuko exclaimed innocently. Sesshomaru patted himself on the back he had not given her any reason to attack him with her vipers tongue. He was sadly mistaken.

"So Fluffy if he is so weak how did he manage to attack you?" Sesshomaru stopped walking completely at her audacity. She would die for insinuating he, the great Sesshomaru was weak. And calling him Fluffy, was grounds for dismemberment. Sesshomaru cracked his knuckles. Mitsuko never stopped walking she smirked to herself Didn't like that did you? Well Fluffy here comes another one for you lets see if you like this even more!

"Oh and Fluffy if he does not deserve to breathe but he wounded you does that mean you do not deserve to breathe?" She has just signed her own death warrant. More knuckle cracking could be heard behind her. She had really upset him comparing him to his half brother. She would have to remember this for later. She could think of many ways to torture Fluffy with his brother.

Sesshomaru calmed himself. There were other ways besides death for the little human to pay. Her traitorous body would be his perfect accomplice in his revenge. Oh yes, she would regret comparing him to his brother. He would show her how they were different.

Mitsuko was surprised besides cracking his knuckles Sesshomaru had not responded at all. He had merely walked ahead of her and told them to pick up the pace he smelled a hot spring.

"You HUMAN could use a bath. You smell foul." Sesshomaru directed his words at Mitsuko. So, we are not calling each other by name now Lord I've got a stick up my ass. Very well you shall be Fluffy from now on or Inuyasha's Brother. That really ought to piss you off. Mitsuko smiled to herself. She did not know that each silent smirk brought her closer to her punishment.

Camp was made quickly. Rin was yawning half way through her rice and was soon settled into her bedding. Jaken soon followed the little girl in her quest for sleep and began snoring loudly. Mitsuko stood and took her bathing supplies and headed for the hot springs. Maybe she would get a little bit of peace and quiet while she was there. Warring with Sesshomaru was mentally very taxing.

Sesshomaru watched from the treetops as Mitsuko bathed. He would wait until she had bathed to carry out her punishment. Sesshomaru pushed the odd feelings he had away. For some reason his heart had picked up speed and was pounding, a rush of excitement was flowing through his blood. He shook his head and ignored these feelings instead concentrating on the young female climbing out of the hot springs.

Mitsuko was reaching for her undergarments when a silver blur landed in front of her and made her gasp in fear. She was bent over and looking at a pair of legs covered in fine pristine silk. She let her gaze travel up past the trim looking waist, past the wide muscled chest that begged for someone to lay their head upon it in complete trust, past the expanse of shoulders and the well toned arms meant to hold someone to that wonderful chest. Her gaze continued up past a stubborn chin, to incredibly lush lips made to take girls breath away, past the aristocratic nose, and stopped at a pair of shining golden eyes. Mitsuko saw something flicker deep with in them for a moment the gold faded to a slight red color.

You really do know how to strut that stuff
You really do know how to act tough
Your body's just like a centerfold
A fantasy, anyone would want to hold

Mitsuko's eyes grew wide and did the only thing any naked human female would do when confronted by a youkai. She forgot about her clothes, forgot she was completely naked and listened to the voice in her head screaming RUN! RUN NOW! DON'T LOOK BACK! JUST RUN! In an instant she was gone as fast as her human legs could carry her. Something inside of Sesshomaru smiled wickedly, the chase was half the fun. He took off after her using his youkai speed. He soon caught up to her but instead of catching her just as easily he played with his prey a bit. He would gain on her breathing on her neck and then fall back letting her feel more secure.

Her muscles screamed for release from the running all she wanted to do was stop. If she stopped she did not know what Sesshomaru would do to her.

With looks that kill and a mind that's twisted
I don't know why I can't resist it
I tell myself look the other way
When you want me to
I, I always stay

Sesshomaru could smell her weariness. He did want her to tired for the next bit of her punishment. Sesshomaru smirked to himself. With one mighty leap Sesshomaru pounced onto the human female. Mitsuko landed with a heavy thud. She instantly began to thrash about and take swipes at Sesshomaru. He merely laughed at her puny attempts. Her small wrists were soon wrapped in a too strong clawed hand and drawn over her head. She struggled desperately. The youkai merely found this amusing.

Leaning down Sesshomaru nuzzled his nose and soft lips into the soft skin of her neck. Mitsuko drew in her breath raggedly. What was he doing? Sesshomaru slid one of his clawed hands down her naked arm, his clawed fingers played lightly over the frantic pulse in her neck. Those same claws ran down her shoulder, along the curve of her breast, and to the gentle flare of her hip. Mitsuko could not seem to think of anything except where he was going to run his hand next. Sesshomaru smirked.

You know you're already my obsession
Stop using sex as a weapon
Love is more than a one way reflection
Stop using sex as a weapon

Sesshomaru moved his lips from her neck to her lips in a crushing kiss. She was swamped by him he was running his tongue along her lips demanding entrance. When she refused, he nipped her lip with his fangs drawing blood. She gasped instantly in pain. Sesshomaru took his opportunity. Her blood bathed his tongue and fueled his inner demon.

You play with desire like it was a toy
How much affection can you destroy?
You wrap my heart around your little finger
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex as a weapon

Sesshomaru took a deep breath and stood up. He turned and walked away from her leaving her lying in the dirt. She felt used and more dirty then her father had ever made her with his schemes to get sake. Mitsuko curled into a ball and cried.

Sesshomaru smelled salt on the air and smirked to himself the female had learned her lesson. The troubling part was not her crying it was his reaction to the female. His inner demon was screaming at him demanding him to take the female as his mate. This was a most perplexing dilemma. His inner demon should only want the most powerful female as its mate. It had never shown an interest in any other female. Why now? Why this female?
