Chapter 13 – Delay In Plans

Kagome smirked as she watched Sesshoumaru pace around the room. He didn't like the fact that she had brought so much attention to herself. Why the hell should he even care? Her smirk grew larger as she thought of the possibilities. There were so many and she was sure that whichever she chose it would involve her. Yes, she was starting to notice how much attention he turned toward her… though it was kind of strange.

Sesshoumaru looked down at the woman once more and shook his head at her look. She was probably noticing that he'd been with her for more then who knows how long since that damn ball. He was really thinking about delaying his own, or just not doing it at all. Hell after seeing what happened to Kouga by Ayame he was starting to think of other 'ways' to avoid women, well expect Kagome.

Edited to here, except for commas

Kagome yawned once more wishing her sleep. She was sure he'd give her more of his little 'lecture' before leaving her to her own peace. Damn man gets what he wants when he wants it, never has consideration of anyone else, she thought to herself frowning.

"Kagome are you listening to me?" his smooth voice called through the foggy-ness of sleep. She looked up at him and nodded but instantly wished she hadn't when he asked, "What did I say then?" She hated that trick, her mom used to pull it on her. Stupid bitch…

"Umm…" Kagome started, "Something about not drawing more attention to myself."

Sesshoumaru stared down at her in disbelief for a moment before saying, "Kagome I said that over twenty minute ago maybe more."

"See that's why too. Your constant babble about the same thing is really getting to me Sesshoumaru. Come on I did a major muscle pulling move on Kagura and then I have to sit through your lecture when I want to sleep," Kagome moaned. Falling back upon the bed she nearly allowed the darkness to take her until she felt him shake her. Damn him… she thought darkly as she sat back up.

"Here," Sesshoumaru said. He pulled open a drawer showing off different scented oils, what for she had no clue. Maybe he just liked to put oils inside each of his rooms. Kagome watched as he pulled one out, and allowed the cap to pop off causing the sweet scent of oranges to fill the room.

What was he going to do with that? He wouldn't dare? She watched as he walked toward her and a thought crossed her mind, no way. Never, like he would even consider rubbing her back! She moved away from him and watched as he rolled his eyes.

"Kagome, I don't wish to hurt you. I merely wish to help you with your problem. Now take off your shirt and lay on your stomach," Sesshoumaru instructed.

Kagome's eyes were swimming in a sea of emotions as he reached out to tug at her shirt. She 'eeped' and moved away from him saying, "Oh no you don't! Turn around you hentai!"

Sesshoumaru chuckled silently doing as she asked and waited for her to say he could turn once again. He felt a small tug at his shirt and turned to find Kagome's back wide open like a field. Smirking a little when he saw her bra sitting over in a corner he began rubbing at her shoulders.

Kagome moaned softly allowing him to rub away her troubles. It felt soo good! She felt the welcoming arms of sleep tug at her again and allowed herself to fall into them. She needed sleep and was going to get it, everyone else be damned.

"What are you doing to me?" he asked into the room as he continued. He'd never been around a woman for this long, and he'd never gone this long without fucking. Damn the last time he got it on was around a month now. It all started with this strange electric blue-eyed onna that caught his attention. Now he couldn't seem to turn his gaze, everything was starting to flash with her image, her eyes, and her form.

Noticing that she'd fallen asleep he did smile, a small but noticeable thing as he continued to rub at her aching muscles. He was sure that with each muscle he worked on she fell farther into sleep. He didn't see how she did that either… just sleeps. It was like as soon as her body hit the mattress her body shut down to the comforting arms of sleep. She was such a strange creature, that she was.

After finishing with her back he had a sudden urge to roll her over, to see that perfect skin that always taunted him from under her shirt. Now here he was and stroking the fine silk like material as she slept. No, he thought, I'm not a pervert and I won't take advantage of a sleeping woman. With a deep sigh of disappointment he pulled the covers over her form and made his leave.

His mind wondered back to the onna once more as he slipped inside of his own bed. Would it really be so bad if he were to date her? Yes, he told himself, dating a colleague never works. Never… His mine however told him different; it told him something good would come out of it. Since when did he listen to that little voice he got every so often? What was it called? Con… oh who cared, but he had never once listened to the stupid thing before. Maybe that was the reason he felt lonely, and felt the need for a companion, like he did now. When he was close to her it was like everything disappeared and when he wasn't all the other things hung on his shoulders. Kami, sometimes he hated life.

He just for once wished that it were Kagome's warmth beside him instead of the cold shivering ocean of nothingness. That was what he felt like when he slipped into bed ever since he saw her, like his king size bed had grown larger, and yet seemed to have no room at all. Like a sea, a never-ending sea, and he wondered if it would change if Kagome should slip in beside him? Maybe that sea would change into a warm nearly burning river of passion? Just maybe…

His mind stopped and fell into the dream world Kagome was now inside. However unlike Kagome who saw nothing but darkness he awoke to something much more different…

Dream Cast

The sun came pouring into the window like a steam of rising mist when Sesshoumaru awoke. His head turned to the new day as the scent of bacon hit his nose. Jaken was never up this early, so who was cooking? Shaking it off he turned back to the window and smiled a true smile only seen here, in his dream world.

His attention was brought to the other side of the bed. The covers were turned down as if someone had gotten out. With a shrug he rose from the bed finding himself naked, and smirked. Thinking he'd get up and dress he waited for the dream to play out. His mind however played out something much different then what he'd thought it would.

Walking down the staircase he followed the sweet scent coming from his kitchen. His head poked inside to find raven locks, and a slender form. A smirk formed at the base of his lip as he walked forward wrapping his arms around the clothed woman saying, "Morning my love."

"I see you're awake," she said reaching back to caress his naked thigh, "and naked."

"What else did you expect baby?" he said. Odd… he'd never said that in his dreams before. He pulled at her waist wanting a reaction when she began to turn within his grasp.

"Sessho, you naughty boy," Kagome waved the spatula in his face like a mother would with her finger. His smirk turned into a smile and he leaned down to kiss her, which she expected in full.

The utensil fell to the floor forgotten as Kagome reached back to turn the oven off. Her hands came flying up to unbutton her blouse as he stroked her tongue into play with his. "Kagome…" he muttered against her lips once he took back his tongue.

This was new… She was the only woman to ever make him have a wet dream. And in the kitchen no less…

"Oh, Sesshoumaru!" she whispered as he pulled the blouse over her shoulders, and letting it fall to the ground. One hand came up to wrap more possessively around her waist while the other was shoved between her jeans, into her panties, and began to stroke her outer lips. She moaned against his neck when she nuzzled it deep within the crook of his neck.

His lips moved from her neck downward toward her stomach. As he came across her bra strap he began to pull at it with his teeth in the most erotic way. His hand moved from her waist to undo the clasp before going back to the tiny waist he'd come to admire over the past month. He felt her left hand come to brace the back of his head once he removed that damn contraption keeping him from her perfect breasts. His mouth swam inches away from her nipple and waited until he heard her say what he wanted to hear.

"Please, Sesshoumaru," she said rather breathlessly. Her voice was ragged and she pulled his head forward trying to get the pleasure she sought. The passion burning inside of her could be seen within her beautiful blue eyes, and the heat of her skin told him she was perfectly ready for him.

Begging? He was making her beg… since when did he make someone beg?

Finally he moved capturing the nipple within his hot mouth. He let out a groan of pleasure when he felt the small peak harden between his teeth when he tugged. His tongue lapped over the bruised area before nipping at it causing his woman to make the most delightful of sounds. His woman?

His hand plunged into her folds to rub at the small nub within. This caused a chain reaction from Kagome and the heated female let out a scream of excitement. Sesshoumaru lifted his head only to turn attention to her other breast, which looked rather lonely over on the other side of her chest. However he pushed the breast upward wanting to feel it bounce downward against his face, to feel the slight weight.

Kagome squealed with delight when he finally captured that nipple as well, while his hand pulled from her jeans to unbutton them giving him more room to move. They slipped from her hips easily as if they were never there and he went back to playing the instrumental notes deep within her soul.

She pushed him away a little and pulled his face up to kiss him once more. Grinding against his hand she created the most wonderful friction and he moaned against her parted lips. Not being able to take it anymore then he had touching her but never being able to taste the sweet honey dripping from her he lifted her up onto the counter.

She gasped but smirked when he began rubbing at her with his fingers. It must have felt so good… it was for him. His breathing had become ragged and he dipped a finger just under the hem of her panties to slip them from her body. He wanted her as naked as he was… and now.

When the last of her clothing fell from her body he placed kisses along the expanse of her body. His tongue dipped into her navel causing her to scream in pleasure. Smirking a bit he dipped inside once more, and swirled his tongue outside the small indenture before placing a soft kiss around the edges. Her panting was heaven to his ears when he leaned down to push his face against the soft pubic hair covering her outer lips. Nuzzling for a moment he spread her legs farther to gain better access to the cunt he was about to make his.

She let out an, "ahhh" when he finally pushing his tongue inside of her folds. She wiggled against the counter until his other hand pressed down on her thigh stopping her movements. He wanted to take it slow, to give her the pleasure she so desired but make her wait at the same time.

Since when did he Sesshoumaru consider what others wanted for pleasure? Wasn't he only after his own?

Her wait seemed like torture as he made circular movements around her small nub, only putting a small amount of pressure against it. However once in a while he would press against it roughly wanting to hear her groan in pleasure. Sesshoumaru began to pant softly against the small nub before shoving his tongue inside of her small entrance to taste the juices from the orgasm he was sure she would have.

As if he knew how her body worked she arched off the counter bucking into his face as a scream issued forth. Her orgasm caused her womanly juices to flow within his mouth. The sweet arousal tasted like the greatest of sweets he'd ever had the pleasure of tasting himself. When she came down from her high her breathing was rough, and quick and she gripped his head once more.

"Oh Sesshoumaru… no more, please…" she panted.

"Why Kagome? Don't you like it when I do this, after all each time you scream like a banshee?" he asked.

"Only… because you know how to… work me up."

Sesshoumaru smirked against her soft lips and grabbed her waist pulling her from the counter. Standing he leaned her to one side before taking her mouth with his. She could taste her arousal upon his tongue and moaned against him. Sesshoumaru moved quickly pressing her against the wall and spread her legs open her access.

"Beg," he whispered huskily against her throat.

Kagome smirked, "Never."

She was begging earlier why not now?

"You are no fair woman."

"So I've been told."

"Very well, I'll get rough with you then," he snarled.

Kagome slyly replied, "Go ahead, I like when your rough, Sessho."

"Woman…"

Sesshoumaru panted softly pressing his own arousal against her entrance. Right now he could have cared less if she begged, after all he needed her warmth. He needed the velvety walls that only she could produce when he entered her body with his own. Pressing forward, he entered her with a swift motion and moaned against her skin.

She panted as he began pounding into her. The fluid motions he was making caused her to groan. Sesshoumaru moaned against her skin feeling the velvety warmth she caused around his cock. He could feel her juices pushing against him, and leaking out of the sides that barely fit him. Her breast bounced against his chest and he felt her lips upon his neck. He felt his climax rising and when he was going to have his orgasm…

End Dream Cast

Sesshoumaru sat straight up in bed that morning. Sweat had his hair cling to his skin, like melted plastic would. He wiped his brow not wanting to recall the damn dream he'd had. It was strange that for some damn reason she was making him have wet dreams. Damn woman, he thought.

Sometimes she could be really annoying, and right now was one of those times. Like he'd said, she didn't even need to be in the room to hold his attention or to distract him. Stupid onna; went through his tortured mind.

oOo

Kikyo sat with Inuyasha. She really didn't know why he wanted to talk but he had 'something' to say. Well if he had something to say then why the hell didn't he just say it instead of making her wait forever to hear whatever it was?

"Kikyo I want you to be truthful," Inuyasha said.

"Yes, you've said that already," she breathed.

Inuyasha looked at her nodding his head before kneeling before her, "Kikyo I love you."

"I love you to Inu-baby," she said sweetly. Kami, she was so lucky she'd had acting classes while younger or he'd see right through her, like a piece of glass.

"Kikyo," he said, "tell me, have you been completely faithful lately? We haven't made love in so long."

Kikyo blinked. Maybe he was catching onto her? Nah… he was still too much of a baka for that. "Of course Inuyasha, I just haven't felt like it lately," she said.

"I see," Inuyasha said. Yes, don't feel like it my ass, he thought. She was having sex with someone else that was why she was never around and why she didn't want to have sex with him. She must have thought she had someone a lot better then him so she was getting her little pleasures with someone else. Stupid wench…

"Don't you believe me Inu?"

Hook…

Line…

"Of course Kikyo, I'll always believe you…"

"You don't seem like it," Kikyo said, "is something else on your mind?"

Sinker…

"No," Inuyasha whispered.

Kikyo nodded and waited for anything else he might have to say. Really why she listened to his stupid little speeches was beyond her.

"Well, I have to go to work and I'll see you later love," Inuyasha said smiling. He didn't want her to think he was onto her just yet. After all if she knew then he might not be able to get underneath her skin and take everything before she could get a signal dime.

"Ok, I'll see you later Inuyasha," Kikyo said. She gave him a small smile and watched as he left. He was such a dumbass, and that was the reason she'd be going to Naraku's. That was the reason why she'd been going all along. The man had no backbone, nothing to hold him up. She needed a bad boy, someone who would take life to the fullness and give her everything she needed and wanted. Nothing else…

Inuyasha was just too sweet for her.

oOo

Nazuna hit her head against the desk once again. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. It took so long and now this… this… how could they? Stupid people who thought they could do this to her. She needed that damn condo, and it was ready, but the damn jet had been delayed, for like two weeks. TWO WEEKS… TWO FUCKING MORE WEEKS!

How could they do this? By that time Sesshoumaru and Kagome might not like each other, or worse be at each other's throats. She needed to get them alone, and these idiot people were causing her trouble. How could they do such things? Sometimes she didn't understand the world they lived in. God how hard was it to get a private jet? Well it might be the fact that the jet was 'damaged' as they put it. Like she cared if it was 'damaged' they needed to get it up and running. According to them they were going to have it done in TWO WEEKS! Sometimes she swore that they did this just to break people apart.

Come on Sesshoumaru in two weeks could start looking at another woman. That would throw Kagome out of the picture and her feelings would once again be crushed. Sure it wouldn't take her long to get over it but she would be pushed back into darkness. Probably causing her happy attitude to diminish as the relationship between Sesshoumaru and his new 'woman' got more heated. Kagome would become the Dragon Queen she knew, the woman who took nothing from no one.

There was something else about Kagome too. Nazuna always had a feeling that there was more to the woman then just not getting along with her mother, and being pushed around. Kagome hadn't talked much during highschool so she could never tell what was wrong. She wasn't sure but something told her, Kagome's life hadn't gotten bad during highschool but before then. Maybe during her early teens or perhaps farther back then that she wasn't so sure anymore.

Either way something was wrong with Kagome deep down.

That was why Kagome needed a man in her life. A man would help, by making her see that she was something to everyone, and that she didn't need to hide everything. It would show her that there were people to lean on during these bad times. Sure she wouldn't be able to take back all those years of suffering but she would be able to cope with it easier, maybe enough to talk about it.

All those years ago she could see the suffering Kagome had gone through. It was inside her eyes, those shocking eyes that stunned her for a moment when she first say them. They looked like a thunderstorm that was happening deep inside of Kagome's soul, and yet it wasn't. Every since she saw those eyes and learned of Kagome's ways she knew she'd suffered. There was a sadness, and pain that wasn't shone on the outside and she wasn't letting it out either, which was much worse.

Sighing she looked around, maybe she should have gotten a quicker way to get them together. After all anything could happen during two weeks, and she hoped that everything that might would be good and not bad. Just maybe fate would help her this one time and keep them together during the next two weeks.

oOo

Kouga slumped in his chair. Why? Why was this happening? Something had gone wrong? What happened to Naraku's plan? How could that man… that beast betrayed him Kouga Menomaru?

Looking around the office he felt a sting of guilt. First he'd lost his dark goddess Kagome, and now he'd lost his angel of the light Ayame. She'd quit this morning saying that if he couldn't show respect for women then she wasn't going to work for him. Something about her hating men who thought with the penis more then their heads.

How could he have not noticed? Did Kagome really hate him that much? Kagome was supposed to be his woman and yet… yet she wanted nothing to do with him. She'd said it her fucking self, she wanted nothing to do with him. She wanted him out of her life and to leave her alone forever. Why couldn't she see his love? Was she truly that blind?

Then again maybe he was blind?

After all it was he who kept pressuring her. It was he who had kept calling her 'his woman'. It was he not anyone else who wouldn't leave her be. Everyday he'd told her of his love and each day she'd deny it. Throw it at his feet, and tell him off.

No matter what though he wasn't going to let Sesshoumaru get Kagome…

oOo

Kagome giggled as Chance wagged his tail. The dog was so cute. She loved him more then anything and was glad to say that Sesshoumaru liked him too. In fact she'd seen them playing together, or at least Sesshoumaru throwing a ball a few hours ago. At least she didn't have to get rid of him, it would have broke her heart.

Scratching behind his ears she watched as the big dog opened his large yellow eyes to stare at her. Sesshoumaru said he was a rare dog? How could that be? He was part wolf, which she liked. She'd always had a thing for wolves.

Sighing she looked around the room. She was living with a man who she thought at first was worthless of her time. Now however she could see her opinions start to change. Each day she found something about him that caught her eye, or made her smile. What was it about him that did that? Maybe she was just imagining things again? Like with Hojo… no, this was real. Sesshoumaru was… was strange yet she felt like she was falling.
