Reflections of the Past : Eye Candy..and Hormones..chapter 25
Kagome and Rin stood transfixed to their location at the edge of the tree's..their hands still grasping Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's haori's and under shirts, their eyes glazed over as they stood watching the two dog demons who trained shirtless before them, their eyes following each movement of their mates, or more acurately...
one mate..one intended mate...
Sesshoumaru stood in the center of the clearing, his ankle length silver hair flowing softly around him in response to his movements, his bare skin reflecting the light of the campfire as it licked it's way across the chisled ridges of his chest, flowing over him in a blanket of warmth, encouraging a sheen of sweat to glisten softly under it's heated caress. He held Tensaiga, moving with the gracefulness of of an animal, each movement precise and calculated as he swung the sword around him, it's blade slicing through the air in first one direction, then the next..never missing a beat as he worked his muscles, each responding to the demands he set for them, rippling slightly under the strain of his actions.He moved from side to side, his movements flowing in time with the beat of his heart. His feet nearly danced beneath him, moving swiftly with each turn he made, landing softly only to lift again to change direction, never missing a step. His white hakama billowing in the breeze his body created, each step pulling the cloth tight against his legs, allowing one to see the musculature of his thighs..
Inuyasha stood from his place at the fire, though what promted him to stand and walk to his demon brother still eluded him.
He pulled his sword from it's sheath, streching his lean body as he too began swinging, his body arching with practiced ease as he took his place near Sesshoumaru, standing further from the fire into the shadows that seemed to almost envelope him, as if the soothing arms of the night simply wanted to hold him within their comforting depths. Inuyasha's eyes met Sesshoumaru's..their auras brushing each other, Sesshoumaru's opening in a silent bid for a conversation he never had thought he'd initiate...
Inuyasha stopped briefly, reluctantly allowing his connection with Sesshoumaru open, his curiousity urging him on.
"Do exactly as I do Inuyasha...you need guidance if you ever hope to wield that sword as it should be..." Sesshoumaru said as he continued to move in time with the beat of his heart, silently questioning what would prompt him to offer his half brother any quidance...but he pushed it aside...he was Sesshoumaru, and there would never be a need to call his actions into question.
His arm raised again, his sword swinging effortessly, each step presise perfection..
Inuyasha followed suit, silently mimicing the actions of his brother, until they moved in time with each other...Inuyasha moved with ease, his lean frame also taking on a shimmering sheen of sweat as he moved with precision next to Sesshoumaru, their movements mirroring each others as they continued their wordless training session. Inuyasha moved perfectly, his steps landing silently beneath him as his body swayed in time, his muscled chest rising and falling easily, his abdomin tensing and relaxing beneath the demand his body made of them. His waist length silver hair fell down his well defined back to meet the deep red of his hakama. The waist band sat low upon his hips, allowing the most alluring vision of rigid abdominal muscles that flowed with awesome power, each rippling magnificantlly with each practiced movement, falling leisurely to his masculine,well shaped waist, lines of definition running the rest of the way into the waist band of his hakama only to be hidden from view...
His skin nearly glowed in the light of the moon, having taken on an angelic glow, shadows and moonlit streams of light seemed to be warring with each the other over which would get to caress his silkin skin next..but ultimately it was the moonlight highlighting the lines of definition of his arms, chest and abdomin, while the shadows rested slightly within the creases between each rippling stretch of muscle, adding more depth to his perfection..
Miroku and Koga sat next to the fire...They had all lost their shirts to the women who had wondered off to the spring to bathe, and to wash the blood from their clothing..
They had removed the boar's bodies with the help of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha while the women had prepared Rin's catch of rabbits for dinner, but once they had returned and dinner was eaten the women had rushed to the spring for their nightly ritual of ' girl talk'. So now here they were, sitting silently by the fire as they watched a demon and a hanyou practicing with their swords, completely bored out of their minds...
Miroku leaned against a tree, his body relaxed, hisright hand still covered, his prayer beads wrapped snuggly around his hand and wrist. His hair lay loose around his shoulders as he gazed contentedly into the dancing flames of the fire, his imagination running wild with images of Sango dancing among the flames, their heated fingers reaching to caress her soft skin, her sheer gown clinging to her lush breasts, as it fell to hug her slim waist...revealing a tantalizingly ridgid stomach, muscled to perfection..long slim perfectly shaped legs...creamy, soft skin, deep brown eyes, long, thick hair that would caress his skin as she leaned over him to press her ...
" My god, are the hormone levels of this pack always this high?" Koga growled as he straightened his legs to releave the slight cramping they held from being bent for too long..his hair also free from its ponytail to lay unrestrained down the length of his back.
" What ever do you mean, Koga?" Miroku replied, a knowing smile inching across his handsome features..
" Don't play all innocent with me monk...at the rate these ' hormone flare ups' seem to occure within this pack, you'll have enough pups to start you'r very own village.." Koga growled as he turned his head tword the spring, prompting the monk to do the same...
There standing at the edge of the forest stood Kagome and Rin...eyes glazed over as each followed the movements of the demon that held their hearts...
"Back to the spring?" Kagome muttered as her gaze turned to take in Rin..."Yep, back to the spring." She replied before turning and running into Sango..
" Control yourselves ladies...we have planning to get done, now come on, lets get going..." Sango giggled as she reached out to take both women by their arms and steered them in the direction of the campfire...and a very shirtless Miroku whos muscled body glistened before her...
" Control yourself dear Sango...we have planning to get done..." came Kagome's sarcastic reply as she stepped around Sango to take her place at the camp fire..Inuyasha's haori and undershirt laying upon her lap...
" Maybe the spring WAS a good idea..." Sango whispered to Rin as they sat next to the fire.. Rin laying Sesshoumaru's haori and undershirt next to her..Sango tossing Miroku's and Koga's at them...as Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha made their way over to the fire, their bodies glistening...
" We are going to bathe, you guys think you'll be alright on your own for a few minutes?" Inuyasha asked as he leaned down to take his haori from Kagome's lap...his knuckles brushing her thigh causing her eyes to widen at the contact before being replaced by a knowing grin..."We'll be fine Inuyasha..if we need you we'll call." Kagome replied before silently mouthing the word ' later ', her eyes sparkling with amusement as Inuyasha's face took on a reddish tint before he suddenly leaned in to place a chaste kiss to her lips before turning just as suddenly and heading in the direction of the spring..not caring if the others had seen his show of affection...she was his mate...and he'd be damned if he'd hide his affections from her anymore...if the others didn't like it then there were always at least three other directions he could think of that they had to occupy their gazes..
"If you should feel that you can't take another moment without me my dear Sango...feel free to come and wash my back." Miroku murmured as his gaze moved to rest upon Sango, her blush increasing tenfold..."Keep dreamin' houshie.." she mumbled, yet her eyes flickered with desire as she watched him walk away...his robes held in his hand as he walked next to a grumbling Inuyasha...
Koga stood, and with a smile upon his face, his bright blue eyes glittering he turned to follow Inuyasha and Miroku...all that could be heard from him was something to the effect of ' if I had known the hormones of this pack ran so high I wouldn't have made Ayame stay home...at least then I wouldn't be the only poor bastard sitting around a camp fire without a mate...'he'd said to himself more than to anyone else.
Little did he know that was something that would be remidied soon enough...
Kagome and Sango got up to gather some fire wood, both feeling a little chilled from the cool night air...
Sesshoumaru moved quietly tword Rin who sat with her head lowered watching as her fingers twisted the tie that held her sword's sheath to her leg.
Sesshoumaru bent before her as he leaned across to grab his haori that was resting on her other side, his chest sliding into her vision as he moved with deliberate slowness...oh how he enjoyed the way her scent spiked when ever he neared her...especially when they were alone...
Rin held herself in check, willing the gods above her to grant her enough will power to keep from reaching out to caress his skin...to keep her tongue from darting out to taste him...to with hold herself from the insane urge she had to bite down on the juction of his shoulder...the same place that now lay bare before her, causing her tongue to dart out to moisten her now dry lips as her eyes closed to block out the vision in front of her...but she couldn' t resist much longer...he had to move...before she did something that would surely embarrass them both...
Sesshoumaru smiled...a sight that could both scare and shock those around...because it was something of a rareity...though since he had been with his brothers' pack, it seemed to be happening a bit more frequently, it seemed he had to make a constant effort to hide his amusment...things in this pack were never dull...and even now he found himself leaning purposefully in front of his Rin...intentionally driving her desires higher..
"What is it that you want..RIN?" Sesshoumaru murmured as he leaned closer still, the warmth of his breath warming her ear lobe as he spoke...even as he curled the cloth of his haori and undershirt into his hand..clinging to them as if they were his life line as he too was beginning to feel his control slipping...
"You..." her voice whispered as her control broke..her hand raised only to hesitate briefly before coming into contact with his bare chest...her head leaning forward as her tongue grazed the sensitive junction of his shoulder causing his breath to hiss from him as his eyes widened in shock and pleasure at her words and actions..He had NEVER thought she would touch him this way...she was innocent of the ways of mating...and yet she tasted his neck..exploring him as if she were searching for something..somewhere to leave her claim..and he was powerless to stop her...he Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands was powerless against the mere slip of a girl who leaned into him, touched him as he'd allowed no one before her to ...his eyes closed as his hand reached to rest on her hip, yet he couldn't move his shoulder from her exploring mouth...
She tasted him, his skin salty from his training, yet she couldn't stop herself...she could feel her fangs lengthen, the sensation urging her on as she opened her mouth wider running one sharp tip across his skin, feeling him shudder at her caress, she held power over him, and he responded to her as he would never again respond to any other...he would be hers and her demon screamed to make it such...even as she ran her tongue along his neck, following the ancient whispering of her heart, urging her to continue...
She leaned closer, her fangs again grazing his skin...only this time she pushed a little harder, her fang breaking his skin as her tongue followed behind it to seal the cut she'd made..his blood igniting a fire in her own...even as his growl of pleasure raced through her ears...followed by the giggling of Sango and Kagome as they made their way back to camp...Sesshoumaru tensed, his pleasure replaced by irritation at having been interupted yet AGAIN...
"We'll have to wait, my sweet Rin...it seems we may never have any kind of privacy here.." he grunted as he bent to nip her neck softly, leaving two small puntures in her skin, two small beads of blood forming as he leaned in to lick them off, her breath hitching in her throat as her head fell to the side exposing the soft flesh of her neck to him..an unconsious act of submission that very nearly sent him off the edge of reason as he leaned in to kiss her fiercly before moving away suddenly and heading to the spring...and a COLD bath..."You are mine Rin...and I WILL have you...soon.." she heard through the haze that still linguared within her brain..." Yes...soon.." her mind whispered back before closing off to thoughts of her own...'whatever that is happening between us needs to happen soon, I can't wait much longer'..she told herself as she tried to compose herself while watching Sango and Kagome make their way back into camp...Kagome smiling suddenly...yet saying nothing...'It seems that Inuyasha was right, Sessy is definatly after my sister..' Kagome thought to herself as she added more wood to the fire..
Kilala mewed quietly as she made her way into Sango's lap to sleep, just as a dripping wet Shippo entered camp only to be wrapped into Kagome's blanket and held within the protection of her arms as he too fell into his own world of fairytales...
And so the women waited...knowing that they would be needing to formulate their plan of attack just as soon as their men returned from the spring...unaware of the figure that was inching it's way tword their camp...soon...very soon the fiqure knew that all hell was going to break loose...
