Chapter 12

- Previously -

"This one will be back and also accepts the exception of modern clothing." Sesshomaru told her.
"Arigato, it helps a lot, but where are you going?"
"To the 'feudal' era as you call it; this one needs to retrieve something."
She stood up looking at him, "are you going to be coming back tonight or stay there till morning?"
"Hai, this one will be gone not long, so do not worry." He stroked her hair in a gently manner.
"I guess you have to go in and out through the window so you won't disturb everyone when they sleep."
"That is fine."

Kagome opened the window widely and sat on the chair to be out of his way. Sesshomaru placed his foot on the windowsill, and then placed it back on the ground. Confusedly, Kagome wondered what was wrong and lightly tugged his robe sleeve.

"This one needs his boots." Sesshomaru stated.
"Okay, I'll go get them," two kicks appeared and hurt her, "itte."
"Iie, this one will take care of it, you shall rest till my return."
"I don't even know where you going, that's kind of not fair." She pouted.
"Are we mates?"
"Iie, stop that."
"Then you do not need to know," he left through her door.

Her mouth hung open, stunned on how he just did that. "That son of a ikeike." Looking out the window, she saw Sesshomaru walk to the well, and yelled, "you damn wise ass!" Kagome saw that he stopped and looked at her, so she slid the window shut and sat in her seat; blushing.

Chuckling with a taunt, Sesshomaru walked continuously to the well, 'And here this one thought that she would be amused.'

- Now -

Kagome looked at the time to see her clock say midnight and Sesshomaru was still nowhere about in her era. Having this familiar feeling inside her, she got up, walked downstairs, and went outside to the well house. When she got there, she heard close by voices and instantly knew them both. Keeping herself quiet, she decided to just listen in on it.

'What's going on…?' Kagome wondered worriedly.

"So what are you doing here in Inuyasha's little forest, huh? Planning on killing you little kyodai?" A woman asked.
"Mind your manners against this one." The taiyoukai growled dangerously.
"Aww… is the little taiyoukai named Sesshomaru getting angry?"
"Your annoyance has increased, wind sorcerer." Sesshomaru growled more violently.

"Urusai," the wind sorcerer named Kagura, had tugged on his arms and kissed his lips, "you're not as dangerous as you want others to think. Why can't you be nice and just call me by my name?" She asked curiously in lust.

"This one wouldn't dare call someone so pathetic by their given name, sorcerer." Sesshomaru growled and took her lips as she had done his.

Kagome's eyes widened at the scene in front of her. Earlier, she was getting curious of why he was growling so dangerously. When she sat on the top of the well side, she saw the two kissing, and it made her ache terribly, as Inuyasha would make her.

Kagura looked over at the well to see the miko and glared at her, wondering what she was doing there. Ignoring her though, she continued to kiss Sesshomaru while his growling began to die down, and lean into the kiss. After a little while, she released the taiyoukai and looked over to Kagome again and gave a smirk.

"Sesshomaru, how about you cut the miko's head off over there?" Kagura snickered at the thought of it.

Perhaps maybe the first or second time in his entire life, his eyes had widened, and showed terrified fear. His claws shoved the wind sorcerer away and drove his attention toward the well to see a miko looking at him with the stoic face that he would normally give to everyone. Kagura came back to Sesshomaru's side and wrapped her arms around his right one. Violently, Sesshomaru slashed out his claws and struck her in the face without much care, and walked to Kagome. (It seems that Kagome and Sesshomaru exchanged expressions.)

"Satsu." Kagome spoke sternly when he was four feet from the well and her self.

Sesshomaru's body froze without warning and all he could do was look at the angry miko. Unfortunately, the time to look at her was limited as she slid into the well and allowed the blue orbs to absorb her. It was obvious to him that she did not want to be followed, but when that spell wore off, he dashed into her world.

Entering the dark room through a window, it was filled with the miko's scent mixed with salt water. He casually slipped himself through the window and sat on the chair as she had previously done at his left. Obeying the house rules, he removed his boots quietly, and his armor, along with his two katanas, and mokomoko. He then came over and sat on the futon next to her lying form that was covered up with the blankets.

Sesshomaru decided to start out with a small apology, "hontou ni gomen n-"
"Urusai!" Kagome yelled from under the covers.
"The sorcerer wasn't-" Again, he was cut off.
"Urusai, I don't want to hear it!"
"…"

Knock, knock

"Kagome, is everything alright?" Rei asked worriedly.
"Hai, it's okay." Kagome tried replying happily but failed miserably.
"Okay dear…"

Sesshomaru looked at the door, and then back to Kagome; seeing how miserable she was sounding. On instincts, he placed his right hand on her arm, but she shoved it away because she didn't want the comfort. The taiyoukai was stunned a little, on her reaction towards him, and his own.

During natural lines to go into courting, it was his job to keep her relaxed and satisfied. He had to keep the female interested in him and want him to come to her or vice versa, or else she'll be available to someone else. He wasn't used to finding a female to his liking; a ningen no less, so it was very new to him, but knew the emotions from the onna.

Placing his hand on her stomach lightly, made her stay still automatically. Her objective was to keep him away, sure. However, you can't shove away when the person has sharp talons and has it on your stomach with a kabu inside.

"This one didn't expect that wench to come forth." Sesshomaru stated.
"Why don't you go back to your youkai no baka, Kagura?" Kagome sniffled.
"One wishes to be with you, word was given to you that I would return."
"Hai, after rutting with her!"
The taiyoukai growled angrily but kept his patience, "this one is only interested towards you, miko. Are you not the one bearing this one's kabu?"
"You attacked me because I was bearing it; the kabu was an accident, you know that as well as I do."
"This one said that he will not mind the kabu-"

"Only because I'm the one who has to take care of it, you'll just flee from it because it'll be a hanyou." Kagome stated in a sad tone.
"If you wish for this one to see it miko, then it will be done." He replied, still sitting at her side.
"Miko, miko, miko," she said annoyed, "am I pathetic too!"
"Iie."

His hand on her stomach felt movement inside and so he removed his hand. The might taiyoukai gently brought Kagome to lie on her back and then looked at her stomach to wonder why it moved. Place his hand there again, he felt moving around. While sighing, Kagome's hand touched his nape and he froze slowly as to find out what she wanted. (Kagome's trying to calm down for the kabus sake.)

Her hand placed weight on his nape, motioning to lower his head to her stomach. The side of his face was placed against her stomach and could both feel and hear the movements inside her, and realized that it was the kabu. Remembering something though of when his father made that one ningen pregnant, she didn't look this big in the stomach. Perhaps Sesshomaru was going receive a powerful hanyou, if well trained and such. Looking up to the onna though, her eyes were softer than earlier, and so he sat up.

Sesshomaru rubbed his nose against her, "hontou ni gomen nasi."
"Why did you leave then," she grabbed his robe, "I demand to know where you went, taiyoukai."
"Am I not trustworthy to not answer you, miko?" He mocked her.
"Now."

He brought his left hand up and caressed her cheek. Kagome was baffled and took his left hand and pulled the sleeve up a little to see no markings, then looked up at him. Chuckling lightly, he placed his fangs against her neck and growled into her throat to give her a pleasing sensation.

It put Kagome into a fit of laughter as she tried to lightly place him aside but he didn't stop his playful assault. After a couple of minutes, he started to lick her neck lightly, and it made her laugh more. Then after a little while, Kagome then thought of a way to get him to stop.

"S-satsu…" Kagome giggled.

His body froze but it didn't matter; his tongue was still licking her since his face was the only thing he could move. Kagome pushed his body up a little and looked at him a little curiously. Saying 'satsu a few more times, she knew he'd be frozen for about five minutes or so.

"You left to get an arm?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Hai, it was this one purpose to return to the era, that way you would not feel embarrassed because of this one." Sesshomaru stated.
"I wouldn't be embarrassed baka," she stroked his cheek a lightly, "we're just going to the hospital so I can get a check up."
"Then why did you claim this one's arm would draw attention?"
"Hai, but I wouldn't really mind it, I mean, I'm used to it, so it doesn't bother me."
"With a left arm, would it make this one more interesting to you?" He asked curiously with a raised eyebrow, but still held a stoic face.
"Iie."
"…" The taiyoukai growled.

"I hear you growl a lot, how about a whimper?"
"Iie." He said automatically.
"Whimper." Kagome demanded.
"Iie."
"Onegai?"
"Iie." Sesshomaru was getting annoyed.
"Then I want you to listen to me and whimper like I want… taiyoukai." Kagome said in a taunting way.
"You are not this one's mate, why must one listen?" He growled a little for not wanting to listen.
"Didn't you say you would listen to me?" She huffed, "I should just go alone-"
"Iie." His growl deepened. "This one will escort you."

"Then I want to hear you whimper."
"This one does not whimper."
Kagome tried to think, and then caressed his cheeks, "wasn't there something in you past that you want to just cry about?"
"…" He kept quiet.
"What if something happened to someone you were close to, and you were absolutely powerless?"

Sesshomaru snarled dangerously at the thought of being anywhere remotely powerless to not be able to protect her or Rin; his close ones. The rosary necklace wore off and he cradled her head into his chest protectively as he lied by her side. Making him even think that had caused him to be alert.

Kagome saw his eyes widen as he became alert; almost like when a dog hears a noise and comes over to protect its master. Her hands went into his robes and slid them on his back. She slowly massaging his back muscles, Kagome cooed him with a softly whispers to calm the taiyoukai.

Understanding her desire from him, he lightly released her and looked at her soft eyes. His lips went to hers and she turned away lightly to where he'd kiss her cheek instead. When he looked at her again, it was obvious that he wanted an explanation.

"Well I should get some sleep since you're not going go whimper, so are you going to sleep in that?" Kagome whispered softly.
"Do wish for this one to retire in these?" Sesshomaru questioned.
"Iie, it's almost spring time and it's not really the cold anymore…" She smiled.
"Very well," he sat up, "what do you want this one to dress in?"
"Don't say it like that, it's too tempting." Kagome blushed and sat up then went to her closet.

"Did this one just get you aroused?" He raised a delicate eyebrow at her while she looked for some clothes and he stood up.
"Urusai, even if you did, we couldn't do anything about it." Kagome replied, knowing what his intentions were.
"Come now miko, you are allowed to rut whilst-"
"Not another word; my family is here thank you." She sighed and continued looking for certain clothing.
"This one gives his deepest apologies to you miko."
"Yeah right," she then found them, "finally."

Kagome brought out a white undershirt and white boxers along with black tie-on pajama pants. They were bought for Inuyasha and lucky they were long enough for Sesshomaru, or, at least she hoped so. Taking her time, she came over to the futon and looked at his standing form.

"Do you know how to put clothes on?" Kagome asked with a devilish little grin to him while holding them to him.
"Iie, onegai miko, be so kind to show this taiyoukai." Sesshomaru replied in stoic sarcasm.
"Then strip your clothes off and I'll show you."
"…" He nodded in agreement.

Sesshomaru removed the robe off of his body to reveal his nice slender eight pack abs and toned skin. He untied his obi and allowed it to fall to the ground as did his hakama. He then took a step closer to her so his feet would be out of the hakama leg holes.

Kagome looked at his body slowly; trying to touch his abs a little but didn't, it was like touching a little barrier as she tried to touch. She hadn't really noticed his body when she saw him naked back at the cave a while back because she had to treat his wounds. Now though, she was able to, and she looked away before she would get caught up in the moment.

She got Sesshomaru to lift his feet one at a time for her so she could slip on the boxers for him. After that, she grabbed the black pajama loose pants, and placed it on him then tied it lightly. Again she looked at his body, and was still tempted to touch him; she knew completely that she was allowed to though.

"Have you found something interesting about this one's body, miko?" Sesshomaru asked in a taunting voice.
Kagome looked at him, "iie, you're too fat."
"…" He glared.
"I'm kidding," she kissed his naval; "your body is interesting, okay taiyoukai?" She smiled.

Her hands were slowly placed down on his hips and motioned him to step forth so he would be closer to her. Sesshomaru didn't know what her objective was going to be, so he obeyed her easily. Kagome wrapped her hands fully around his waist, and placed her forehead against his stomach with a light sigh.

"Arigato, for coming with me tomorrow, I'm just so scared and nervous…" Kagome whispered into him.
Sesshomaru looked out the window, "it is this one's responsibility, ne miko?"
"Hai," she snuggled against him, "but I didn't think you would come, help, or anything."
"Miko," he lifted her chin to look at him, "this one wants you, therefore; will do anything for you to have him."

She pulled away and kissed his stomach softly, "learn when to be vicious, and when to be a soft kabu, okay?"
"Miko," he called out to her in a confused way.
"I'll admit to have feelings for you, but I should love Inuyasha, and I'm so confused right now that I don't know what to do."
'She's in a vulnerable mode for an attack.'

Sesshomaru began leaning on one knee while picking her hands up and brought them above his shoulders and around his neck while he place his hands on the side of her thighs. He brought his face to her neck and nuzzled softly against her with little growling to cause some vibrations. His tongue lightly licked her neck and so gave her a few nips every now and then.

"Is this being kabu enough for you?" Sesshomaru asked in a hot whisper in her ear.
"Hai," Kagome moaned out, "yamete-yo, onegai…"
"Naze?" He licked her ear.
"We shouldn't do this, who knows what'll happen."
"This one knows." The taiyoukai chuckled.

Kagome looked at him a little awkwardly, "what do you mean you know what's going on?"

Sesshomaru smirked and lowered her on her back to the futon while continuing his nips and licks. He then straightened her out and covered her with the blankets. His form just sat there with pajama pants on and a bare chest, kissing, sucking, and nipping at her neck.

"Chotto matte…" Kagome lightly placed him off.
"Nani-yo?" Sesshomaru growled at the fact she was ruining his seducing time with her at the moment.
"Place the undershirt on, and we can go to bed." She explained softly as she sat up in front of him.
"Very well; if that is what you want." He replied.
"Iie, it's not, demo… at least you'll be covered up."
"This one doesn't need to be 'covered up' because of taiyoukai blood." Sesshomaru told her as he placed her hand on his chest, stroking his chest and abs.

"Stop, just… put your arms up." Kagome laughed lightly as she grabbed the undershirt for him.
"Hai, shukun." He spoke to her, again with stoic sarcasm as he raised his hands up.
She blushed a deep shade of red as he placed it up over his, "yamete-yo baka, don't call me shukun either."
"Hai, miko." He answered after she hadplaced it on him.

The taiyoukai lean over Kagome and laid the two of them down on the futon then had them covered with the blankets. Wrapping his arm around her carefully, he placed his head on her neck to be close. Kagome placed her hand behind his head and leaned him on a little and she turned to him.

"Good kabu," she licked his cheek. Apparently Sesshomaru liked the comment, so he devoured her lips once more for the night. He looked into her eyes and stole few more kisses, and stopped. Knowing that it was time to sleep, he whispered something into her ear.

"Oyasumi Kagome."
