It started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
It was a night much like this one. Dark, cold, and silent, and the stars shine like diamonds fooling all with their false sense of peace and calm.
They were not supposed to live to see the sunrise. It was that night, the same night Rin died, and the same night, Kagura warned Sesshomaru that Naraku could see all their faults and would break them all within their cracks. She had told them not to die with lies and regrets for they were not the wind like she and they would never be free to choose in death for death is cold and unfeeling and very much eternal.
It was that night when Inuyasha felt Kikyo for the last time. It was that night when Miroku and Sango finally became one after years of putting it off for fear. It was that night that Kagome carefully approached Sesshomaru as he sat with his head down mourning Rin. She reached out and touched his shoulder, and he looked up at her, and she slowly moved closer to comfort him.
He rested his forehead on her belly button as she stood between his legs,
"You could leave," He said, "Why do you stay?"
"What difference would it make if it is all to end?"
It was a genuine feeling, they could feel the dark power brewing, and they knew as they felt it that they were no match. Naraku did not fear anything. Sesshomaru may last longer than the rest but he would not win alone as much as he would like to think he would. His father died that way but he took care of things before he died. His father knew well in advance he would die. There was no denying it, death was at their door, and they would all open it because they would die trying.
Sesshomaru inhaled and looked up at her again "You do not want to be alone,"
"Do you want to be alone, if it's your last night on earth would you truly be happy just to sit here unloved and alone?" She would leave if that's what he wanted.
"You do not love me," Rin was the only one that had loved him in an innocent form.
"I care about you, and I'm just as alone as you are Sesshomaru," She was bold as she ran her fingers through his bangs "Is there another I could find for you, some other company?
"You are enough," He said looking into her eyes, "You want love, and I want passion,"
Kagome let her hand fall "I am human," It wasn't the worse offer, and he was offering her something that was on her mind. She didn't want to die, never having felt a man.
"You are a woman, and we care enough, and all we have is tonight Miko,"
"You would spend it with me?"
He pulled on her shirt bringing her face down closer to him "Misery loves company" He said "If you will have me,"
Their lips almost touched,
"No regrets?" she whispered,
"None,"
It was that night, that perfect kiss when the poison set in when dark Lord kissed the Lady of light. It was that night when his hands traced her legs before pulled in her skirt down to the ground. It was that night that he didn't care if anyone saw as he untied his own pants faster as the kiss quickened. It was that night he pulled her down and lifted her shirt; it was that night that she let him.
Her hands touched his face as their lips danced under the sparkling sky. Their naked skin connected in a dance she never knew. She trusted him enough for him to guide her, and he was turned on by her virgin ways. Her body had been more perfect than he dared to ever notice. It was that night that he truly felt how tight she was and yet how perfect she fit around him. It was that night that his hands and mouth studied her like a treasure map until it found the heat, that oh so perfect spot, and he thanks Kami that he had the chance at it.
It was that night that she moaned in womanly passion, and it was that night that he let everything go and made noises no other woman had ever pulled from him. He wasn't sure if it was her power, or her body, or what it was, but she did something for him.
He gave her the love she wanted if only for that night, and he got his passion in a fiery desire that he so wanted, if only for that night.
In every position, he could get her in, and she let him.
But as the sun started to rise on their night unseen by others he put her in the one position he was going to save for his mate. Bent over but back to chest. His hands touched her breast softly, not rushed, not hard. He kissed her neck, and then his lips went to her ears, and his thrust went on, not quite getting enough.
"I will breed you anyway if that's what you want,"
All night he spilled onto her skin,
She answered by kissing him, and he let her feel what it would feel like to have a man coat her womb with seed. It was a rush for them both, so much so he sunk his teeth into her, throwing it all to the wind because it was his male pride and his right as Alpha to claim her since he claimed her. She let him because for once she felt wanted by a man and out of all the women he could have went to on this night, he claimed her.
She bent down resting against the rock, and he pulled out just long enough to turn her to her back, letting her rest against the rock. He leaned down slowly and never moved his eyes from her as he kissed her belly button to a child who may or may not even be there, what did it matter anyway it would not have time to grow. He didn't think she was in heat anyway, but who knew with humans.
He moved up her body and kissed her lips again; he let himself love her for a moment, if only for a moment because death or not, that's all they had.
If tomorrow never came, they were glad this all they had. If tomorrow did come, well, then it would be one night of no regrets and a memory he would take with him for all times.
It was night, much like this one. It was the happiest moment of her life, much like this moment. Yet with all things with Kagome, darkness was there to remind her that her gift of love was also a curse. For she loved too much and dived too deep just like the stars above, it was a false peace, a false calm. Kagome stood there, her heaty fluttering at first with joyful glee turned into fluttered heartbreak. She could not wait to tell him the news; she had run out into the cold night with no shoes only to freeze at the sight before her.
A woman stood across from Sesshomaru, and he had his hand on her small bump, and Kagome knew instantly why the woman was there and just whose baby it was. Sesshomaru looked at her, and all she could do was smile and back away slowly from the privet moment.
After all, they were never supposed to see another sunrise when he marked her. They had never solidified their relationship; it had always been just enough. No strings, no ceremony, just some understanding that she thought was good enough. Just some understanding that they were not supposed to live and yet they had. But the cracks had been sealed, regrets were gone, lies were truths, and hearts were set free. They were stronger once they let go, and it was Naraku who never saw another sunrise. There was nothing to taint, and so he failed, and they lived. She was stuck there, and he had his honor, and so there was this unspoken connection, they just move around each other, with each other, they made it work in their own way. She didn't ask for much, and he reminded her a night behind closed doors why she was ok with never talking about it, the mark on her neck that she never bound him to. But then, there had never been another woman before.
It started with a perfect kiss on a night, much like this one, but now the poison was setting in, and the pain made the stars on this night blurry in her eyes.
