Ch. 5 "Kiss or Dream?"
By: Western Lord's Mate
The first rays of the morning sun bathed the young princess. Her raven locks glittered in the suns light. Her eyebrows scrunched together as the sun hit her closed eyes. She opened her sky blue eyes to the world and moaned from the little sleep she had gotten the previous night. She yawned and stretched her petite form. She would've loved to just cuddle in with her silken sheets and her pillow. Her naked form beneath the sheets rolled from one side of the bed to the other. The silken sheets moved like water around her body. Just as she ended on the left side of her king sized bed, her personal servant and friend Ikaza entered the chambers and smiled at her lady and friend.
"Good morning Kagome!" Kagome giggled at her friend's cheery behavior. She always managed to bring Kagome in a good mood, even when the worst of times came.
"Good morning to you too, Ikaza" Kagome removed the pillows from underneath her head and placed them in a sitting position by the headboard. She clutched her silken sheets around the upper part of her nude form. The sheets around her legs had tied themselves like a snake from the knees to the toes and Kagome played with the sheets around her toes. She positioned herself in a sitting position on her bed and waited what Ikaza had in plan for today.
"Kagome I'm going to get a bath ready for you before the day starts. It's seven right now. In one hour you are expected to be at the breakfast quarters. Are you attending?" Kagome smiled at the thought of having a bath. It was so relaxing and stress relieving. 'Do I want to go for breakfast though? After all I did promise Lord Sesshoumaru I'd be training with him today.. No, No breakfast for me today!' Kagome turned to talk to Ikaza.
"No Ikaza, I'm not coming for breakfast, but I will not refuse the bath."
Ikaza nodded.
"Ok then Kagome I will send some servants to bring in your warm water. Anything else you request?"
"Oh yes, I almost forgot Ikaza, I'm going to be training today with Lord Sesshoumaru so I would prefer if you can bring me my red and black training outfit, if you please."
Ikaza's eyes sparkled. Kagome hadn't worn that uniform, since, she couldn't remember the last time Kagome had worn it, but it made Ikaza happy that her Lady and friend was revealing some body image. She was very beautiful after all.
"Of course Kagome. It will be by your bed when you are finished the bath."
"Thank you Ikaza" With that Ikaza bowed slightly and left the chambers, only to go to the room next to Kagome's.
Kagome sighed and waited until her bath was ready. As servants came and left her quarters she was consumed by her own small world.
' This Lord Sesshoumaru is different. I mean he is kind of arrogant and stubborn himself, but I think he would say the same for me. Let's see, he's gorgeous, smart, tall, and a lord, but what am I going to do with him. What if something does happen between us? Then what am I going to do? If he finds out what I really am, he won't want me. No one would ever want me if they found out who I really am..' Kagome thought sadly. ' Yet I feel as if he already knows what I am and accepts me. I think I'm the only one who has ever been able to get this close to him, and yet I still have many more walls to climb and bring down before I can bring out the real him. He thinks I can't see who he really is, and why he is afraid to show emotion, but I can, and I will make him get rid of his stoic façade. I will. Hopefully..' Was Kagome's last thought before one of the servants came to Kagome to let her know that her bath was ready. Kagome nodded and thanked all her servants for doing this for her and dismissed them. In less than ten seconds Kagome was once again alone. She sighed and removed herself from the bed, her silken sheets still around her naked form. As she approached her warm tub she let the sheets fall to the ground and pool around her feet. She dipped her feet in the warm water and relished the feeling. And then inch by inch her whole body was consumed by the warm water. She sighed and closed her eyes for a few brief moments before starting to wash herself with a few oils and soaps. ' I will probably have to take another bath after this since I will be all sweaty after the training…'
Sesshoumaru groaned and turned on his left side as he opened his fiery golden eyes. His messy hair rested all over the place around the bed like a silver blanket. The cool breeze from the window caressed his bangs lightly and made Sesshoumaru sigh. He heard female noises coming from the wall next to him, and tried to listen carefully who it was. 'Since when do I care who is next room to me' He thought a little confused with himself. He smirked when he heard the sweet voice of the Lady of the North. 'So they put my new room next to hers huh? This should be fun.' He thought to himself.
Last night after he had finished training, a servant had come by and told him that his belongings had been moved to the east wing because the west wing was being rebuilt during the summer period. Sesshoumaru could've cared less at that point, since all he wanted to do was hit something soft and sleep. And now the next thing he knew, he had woken up in the chamber right next to the Lady of the North.
' She's different from what I have seen before. She doesn't throw herself at the first man that comes to the castle, but she's hiding something, I can sense it in her aura. How can such a beautiful creature like her be so scared? Is she afraid of me? It can't be because she didn't even flinch when I had her by the neck.' Sesshoumaru smirked at that thought. It had been amusing seeing her like that his body so close to hers. 'Where did that come from?' He thought to himself. 'She is stubborn, arrogant, very self-less, I'll give her that, and, beautiful.' Sesshoumaru finished his thoughts with a sigh. What was he going to do with her? What was she going to do with him? So many questions, and no answers to accompany them. A knock on the door snapped the Western Heir out of his thought.
"Lord Sesshoumaru. Milord, I am Ikaza, Servant of Lady Kagome, I was just wondering if you would like a bath to be prepared for you." Said Ikaza from the other side of the door.
" I do not request for a bath now, but I want a bath prepared when I come back from training."
Ikaza nodded. "Understood my lord. You will have a bath ready when you are done your training.
Breakfast will be ready in fifteen minutes, will you attend Lord Sesshoumaru?"
Sesshoumaru thought for a second but then decided against it.
" I will not attend breakfast. If I am needed I will be in the training room with Lady Kagome."
"Of course my Lord." With that Ikaza left the Eastern Wings halls and went to look at how breakfast was coming along.
Sesshoumaru got out of bed, the golden silk sheets quickly removed off his naked form and set to the side. He stood up and went around the bed, to the handmade stool that stood beside the copper red door. He picked up his short pants and placed it under his feet so that his feet could jump in and the pant/skirt go up his legs and rest at his waist.
Next came the silver belt that the young lord wore with all of his clothing, and then the swords that were given to him by his father, rested on either side of his waist. Next he put his hair in a high pony tail, and went by the copper sink and splashed water on his flawless face. With all of that done, Sesshoumaru guessed that he still had lots of time to kill before he had to meet up with Lady Kagome, so he went and took another tour around the Northern Castle. The last time he did that, the young woman had given him a headache.
A slim hand reached for a crisp white towel that rested by the tub. Kagome stood up and wrapped the towel around her body. Her feet stepped out of the water and on to the cold tiles of her chamber. She walked out of her bathing room and into her sleeping chambers. By the bed she noticed that Ikaza had brought in her training outfit.
Kagome smirked. She couldn't wait to see Sesshoumaru's expression when he saw her in this. 'Wait. Since when do I care?' She brushed that thought off quickly and started to get dressed. When she was done she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She looked absolutely gorgeous. The bottom part of her outfit was a skirt that rested about 10 inches above her knee and was black. The top part of her outfit had two straight cloth pieces about 5 inches thick that ran vertically from the front to her back covering her breasts and parts of her back. Then there were about six thin strings about 2 cm think that ran vertically all over her top form to keep the outfit together.
Next Kagome put her hair in a high pony tail and headed straight for the training room.
About five minutes of walking she was at the back of her castle. About 100 feet across the castle stood a circular stadium, about 2 km in diameter. That was the outdoor training place. It had no ceiling so the sun shined at it's fullest there that day. Two guards stood outside the stadium and as they saw Kagome approaching, they headed for the doors and pulled them open.
As Kagome reached them, she informed them that Lord Sesshoumaru would be arriving shortly and thanked them for opening the doors for her.
Once inside Kagome headed straight for the swords rack and picked up two swords. As she inspected the swords she heard footsteps approaching, and turned around.
About 30 feet away from her, stood Sesshoumaru in all his glory. She looked at his eyes and saw complete shock and surprise. She smirked at that.
Sesshoumaru was surprised to say the least. As he had entered the outdoor training stadium, he spotted a woman in red and black, but when he turned around he never expected to see Kagome, ..like that .
He saw her point one of the swords she held, at him.
"You, are late." She moved from her current spot to stand east of Sesshoumaru's current position.
Sesshoumaru smirked and started to head towards the rack of swords where Kagome had been only moments ago.
" No. You were just early." He turned to her for a brief second and thought, 'She looks like a seductress.' And then turned back at his inspection of swords. He finally picked up two as well and headed to stand right across from Kagome, about 15 feet away from her.
Kagome smiled. She placed her swords in an 'X' position so they were crossed over.
"Shall we begin then?'
Sesshoumaru twirled his swords in his hands twice and ran straight for Kagome. His swords clashed with Kagome's. She pulled her swords to herself for a split second, then she pulled them right off and made Sesshoumaru fall back a couple of feet. She ran at him, not giving him any time to recover.
"You know, you should really warn your opponent when you are about to attack." She said in shallow breaths, as hers and Sesshoumaru's swords met once again. Sesshoumaru smirked at her remark.
"My opponent should know when to expect an attack. I don't have to tell them anything. If they're good than they should know what to expect."
He looked straight at Kagome's eyes and saw pure determination. She wasn't going to give up that easily in a fight. This was going to be a very long day.
Sesshoumaru did a 360 degree turn and aimed to hit the young woman on her left side, but was only met with the metal of her right handed sword.
She smiled at him.
"Nice try." She did three back flips, and had Sesshoumaru hot on her heels. She landed 3 feet off the east side of the wall. Sesshoumaru went right for her. She smirked at him, and her eyes glistened in delight.
Sesshoumaru frowned. As he got just two feet of her, Kagome disappeared.
'Where did she go?'
He felt a hot breath near his left ear and got his unsaid question answered.
Kagome stood right behind him.
"Right here." She elbowed on his left side and Sesshoumaru grunted. Kagome pushed him to the ground lightly, and that caused Sesshoumaru to lose balance and he landed on his back. Kagome had a sword at his throat, and was only inches away from their lips meeting.
"I thought you said you were Lord of the West?" She questioned him, with playfulness in her eyes.
Sesshoumaru growled lightly and using his feet, he flipped her, and Kagome landed on her back right beside Sesshoumaru. He quickly was on top of her giving her no time to recover this turn around.
Kagome placed her hand on her forehead and rubbed in lightly. She opened her eyes and was met with gold. Sesshoumaru saw her open her eyes and smirked.
He leaned closer with her ear and whispered in a low voice.
" You're holding back. Don't. "
Kagome had felt the lord's hot breath tickle her neck and ear and got goose bumps. She smiled at his comment. As quickly as he had gotten on top of her, he was off of her and was offering her his hand. Kagome looked at his hand, but decided to take it. At that an idea came to her head. She took his hand willingly and just as she got up she pushed him forward and smirked.
"I won't. And neither should you."
Sesshoumaru was surprised when she had pushed him forward, and he had almost lost his balance. Sesshoumaru slightly smiled at her comment.
"Oh, believe me my dear, I won't. He did a back flip and landed right in front of a defenseless Kagome. She had no weapons on her. He didn't hesitate. She would find a way to dodge his attacks, he just knew it. As he went at her with full speed, he noticed that glint in her eyes once again. As he sent his first blows at her she blocked them quite skillfully.
Then she did a 360 degree turn and all of a sudden a black whip about 6 feet long was wrapped around her lower body. Once again Sesshoumaru was caught surprised at her actions. She took that moment as her advantage and lashed full speed at Sesshoumaru with her whip. Sesshoumaru blocked each of her attacks but somehow, during the sixth attack she had managed to rip his right sword out of his hand, therefore leaving both with only one weapon in hand.
Kagome had managed to wrap her black whip around his feet and make him fall on his back again.
Sesshoumaru growled at that, he was getting really annoyed by that trick. He ran at her at his fullest speed and all Kagome could see was a blur of white as Sesshoumaru made a zigzagged pattern as he reached for her. He dodged her last attempt to try and hit him with her whip but she had failed miserably. Sesshoumaru grabbed her by her waist and had her pinned against the wall in a split second.
He was breathing heavily and Kagome had her breath holding for an unknown reason. Sesshoumaru noticed that.
"Breathe Kagome, I'm not going to kill you." It was a command.
She did. She took a deep breath in and out.
He smirked at her flushed face. She was….adorable.
"You are completely trapped. You have no weapons and no escape. You are defeated. I want you to find a way to get out of this mess, without getting yourself killed. Understood? And don't try anything stupid. Your life is on the line."
Kagome nodded in understanding.
'Ok Kagome, think. You're next to a very gorgeous man, and he is going to kill you. Well not really but still.. Think!' Nothing could come up in her head. The fact the Sesshoumaru was literally pressed against her didn't really help Kagome think.
Then she had something pop up in her head.
Sesshoumaru looked at her every reaction and tried to read her expression. She was biting her lips forcefully and bruising them.
Oh, of how many things he could think of that she could do with that petite mouth of hers, he thought. 'No! No! No! Who is this person putting all these thoughts in my head! What am I thinking! Have I gone mad?' Sesshoumaru had no more time to think considering he felt a sharp pain in his lower regions. He grunted and bent down in two.
Once Sesshoumaru's hands were only mere centimeters away from her, Kagome managed to remove herself from his grip.
Sesshoumaru couldn't even think at that moment. His lower regions hurt like hell. He may have been a demon, but he was still a male specie.
Kagome saw that Sesshoumaru was still recovering from her previous attack and took that as a chance to go and collect her swords. She moved quickly around the massive stadium. She jogged lightly around the ceramic floor and picked up her swords. Just as she stood up with both of her swords in her hands she was met by Sesshoumaru's swords.
" You are better than I thought Lady Kagome. Very well. Your escape was…interesting."
As the swords clashed, Kagome was enjoying her little victory against the great demon lord.
" So tell me Lord Sesshoumaru, what do you do at your Western Castle?" she said between breaths.
Sesshoumaru just barely managed to dodge an attack to his head, and answered.
"Let's just say, just about everything that goes on around there. My father is always away on meeting across the Mediterranean and Adriatic, that I am always stuck talking care of all the signing of papers and looking after the palace. It's not fun."
Kagome laughed lightly at his answer. She felt proud of herself. She had managed to get something out of the young lord.
Their swords once again met.
"And how about you Lady Kagome? What do you do?"
Kagome breathed heavily.
"Well I don't really have to do any paperwork, or what ever it is that you do in your palace, but I help organize yearly festivals, like when we have celebrations to honor the gods, the yearly Olympics and such. I also spend some of my time with the orphans of the Northern City. I try to teach them a thing or two, every time I visit." Kagome just barely dodged another of Sesshoumaru's attacks.
"That's a pure waste of time. Don't you have people who can do that for you. After all, I mean, you are royalty."
Kagome grunted as she pushed Sesshoumaru a few inches away from her.
" Well of course I have people! But what else am I supposed to do all day in the castle. My father has his own things to attend to and had no time to chit chat with me. And plus, who is going to look after the poor parentless children. They are young my lord, they need as much help and support as they can get. There are very little families who will adopt kids like that, human or demon. If I could, I would take all of them, but I can't as for now. But I try to make them as happy as possible when I'm with them."
Sesshoumaru was speechless. They attacked each other back and forth, his mind still thinking about what the young woman in front of him had said.
'If she cares so much about these kids, that aren't even her own, I can only imagine how much she would care about her own family and pups…'
Sesshoumaru all of a sudden had her pinned beneath him.
He looked into her eyes and saw, sadness and fear within them.
"Is there something wrong Kagome?"
Kagome turned her head to the side. She felt so ashamed. This man on top of her, actually didn't mind that she took care of these kids. He didn't even say that it was 'too low' of her to do such a thing. She was amazed and was on the verge of tears. She could finally trust this man.
"Uh, It's nothing, it's just that, every time I have said that to a man who has tried to court me.." Kagome's eyes widened in realization of what she had said. She quickly shook her head from left to right.
"Not that you are trying to court me or anything, Lord Sesshoumaru, but I-" she was cut off by Sesshoumaru.
"Continue," he commanded her.
" Well they have always laughed at me and told me that, I am not 'suited' for that and people who are servants should take care of such things. And it's not fair because those kids deserve the same treatment as any other child should." Tears threatened to spill from her crystal blue pools.
Sesshoumaru's face seemed to get closer to hers with every word he spoke, yet their eyes were kept in contact.
"Let me tell you something Lady Kagome. Those men, have no respect for a female. The only thing that they wanted was, well you know what I am talking about. I respect the fact that you take your time to look after those children, because, you are right. They deserve just the same as the other kids. And I want to.." Their lips met. That moment, both closed their eyes and felt the kiss energize them. In less than a second Sesshoumaru wanted entrance to her cavern. She felt his tongue at her bottom lip begging for entrance, and she out of instinct allowed it. Sesshoumaru hungrily explored her cavern. She tasted very good. Oh, he couldn't really place her taste. It was something between strawberries and apple. Kagome's arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him in to deepen the kiss. This time Kagome's tongue went in his cavern for an exploration. He tasted good. Sesshoumaru had a fresh strong mint flavor. Then all of a sudden it hit her. 'What am I doing?' She broke the kiss and looked frightened. She pushed Sesshoumaru off of her and stood up. Not two seconds later Sesshoumaru's tall lean frame was right in front of her.
She stuttered at her words and looked at the ground beneath her.
"I – I- I'm sorry. I c-can't do this. Not n-n-ow..it's too soon." Tears welled up in her sapphire pools once again. Her voice was now no more than a whisper.
" I am sorry Lord Sesshoumaru."
With that she turned and exit the outdoor stadium, heading straight for her chambers.

Dark Bunny: Your story is really good. But if it's like in ancient times then Kagome would be too old for marriage at the age of 20. The marriage age was between 14-17. Older then that and the girl would be assumed to have problems. Just thought you should know your story is really good though. Write more
WLM: I know what you mean. I thought about that too, but if I made Kagome too young than, she wouln't be the same character I wanted her to because Sesshoumaru would be older and would have more power. The age seems a little off but it does suit her character in the story doesn't it. Thnx for reviewing!
