Better Sword
aka
How Sesshomaru got to appreciate his sword

In a peaceful meadow a girl was playing with her dolls, singing and smiling, having no worry for her safety. Slowly a dragon youkai approached the human child, its two heads bowing to sniff the girl's hair. The child, instead of running away with screams of terror, turned around and kissed both noses of the youkai.

"Ah-Uh!" she greeted the dragon youkai, who sighed and plopped to the ground behind her, his body curling protectively around his charge.

Jaken was still pouting by the fire, unhappy that the Lord Sesshomaru hadn't told him where he was going yet again. Rin thought that Jaken acted silly, their lord didn't have to tell him anything and Jaken should just be happy for getting any information their lord wanted to give him. She trusted him that he'd give them all the information they needed and didn't care about things which were kept secret from her.

Meanwhile, out of the hearing range of any of the trio, a woman was laying sprawled on her stomach on a fallen log. She was catching her breath and her limbs were shivering with the pleasure she had just experienced. She wasn't uncomfortable, because between her naked front and the rough tree bark was the softest furry tail in the whole land. She smirked when she felt the tail flex under her and she lazily ran her fingers through it. She could feel the warm limb shiver under her caress and she heard a low groan of pleasure from behind her.

"You like it, huh?" she glanced back over her shoulder at the man sitting behind her, straddling the log just like she did. Instead of replying he reached forward and ran a single claw down her spine, causing her to arch her back and gasp. "I take this as a yes."

He gave her a heated glance, his golden eyes boring into her red ones. He was always so calm, so impossibly cool, that every time he was showing emotions it was even more striking. Seeing desire in his eyes was always sending bolts of excitement through her blood and she wanted to fan herself with her fan, resting on top of the pile of their clothes near their spot. His two swords were right beside it, easy to reach in case someone was dumb enough to interrupt the man behind her. Not many were stupid enough to dare and bother the Lord of the West when he was with a lady and the whole meadow was full of their mixed scents.

After a moment she sat up and leaned her back against his perfectly chiseled chest, enjoying the warmth of his skin against hers. She loved to feel his muscles flexing under that warm, smooth skin. His tail followed her motion, draping over her and caressing her breasts and stomach with its delicate fur. She sighed in pleasure,

During their trysts he rarely caressed her with his hand, but his tail was more than enough to stimulate her. Sometimes she was wondering how it would be to be with him when he had both his hands. The mere thought of his claws scraping her skin was enough to make her shiver. The man behind her pulled her closer and nuzzled the side of her neck.

"I feel your personal Tenseiga's up again," she teased and gasped when he bit her lightly .

"It's nothing like that useless sword," he growled low, his chest vibrating with the force of the growl.

She went limp, submitting to the male, but then she reached up and behind herself to touch his cheek, her fingertips stroking his markings.

"You still jealous about the hanyou's sword?" he growled, but she ignored him. "Oh, come on, it might be huge, but he's no swordsman, he barely knows how to use the thing."

"It's still insulting that the half-breed wields a more magnificent sword. I am the heir."

"How I see it the size isn't so important. And if it's for you i can assure you that Tenseiga isn't a short wakizashi, it's a full-length katana, believe me. You mastered your sword, are perfect wielding it. I'm sure you could fell a hundred youkai in one night, but I hope you'll be felling only me. He probably wouldn't know what to do after sticking it in his target," she chuckled.

"Probably?" the voice behind her ear made her smirk, he was intrigued and flattered. She arched into his tail, hugging it to her chest and running her hands through the fur.

"I've never heard about him using his built-in sword before," she grinned when she looked back and saw his face. "He's still a pup."

"That he is," the male nodded and smirked when he felt the female rub her behind against his front. "I see that you are eager to indulge in another swordplay?"

"What was your clue?" she gasped in pleased surprise when he started nibbling her neck and lifted her from the log, depositing her on his lap. He was willing to show her that her theory about Tenseiga's might was true and he was willing to waste the whole night to prove it. Judging by the youkai woman's gasp she wouldn't mind.

A/N: I have no excuse, it's another cliche sword talk, but I couldn't resist. I hope it's at least slightly enjoyable
Besides, go check out He Said All, it's a nice story, promise. Better thank this one anyway.
