Yes! Another update! This chapter is the longest chapter written yet. I'll continue my note at the end of the chapter. Enjoy!
The new morning sun poured in through Kagome's window as she awoke to a knock at her door. It couldn't have been more than five o'clock in the morning. Kagome got out of her bed and opened the door to find a servant holding a training kimono in her hands.
"Here, my lady, lord Sesshomaru requests you in the dojo." The servant told her.
Kagome nodded, shut the door, stripped off her cloths and changed at a fast pace, for her tired self. She reopened the door and followed the servant downstairs and out into the dojo as she put her hair up in a loose bun.
Kagome stepped into the dojo to see Sesshomaru and two other youkai. The two youkai were strong. One was a panther demon, oddly enough. He had long black hair, in a ponytail, and green eyes. The other was a lizard demon that had black hair with green strikes and green eyes.
The servant disappeared as Kagome looked from one youkai to the other and finally at Sesshomaru.
"Are you ready?" Sesshomaru asked her.
Kagome nodded. Her guard went up, her aura flared ever so slightly. Bousan came out of another room with a smile on his face.
"Good morning Kagome, sleep well?" He asked her.
"As well as I could." Kagome replied to him with a smile on his face.
"Now to make sure you don't purify two of Sesshomaru's best warriors I'm just going to bind your powers for now okay?" Bousan asked her with a warm smile.
"Alright." Kagome agreed, reluctantly.
Kagome felt as if a small box had been placed around her and she lost her breath for a minute.
"Don't worry Kagome, if you seriously feel threatened your powers will break the seal but hopefully that won't happen. I'll come see you after training to unbind your powers." Bousan announced, leaving where Kagome had entered moments before.
'Great now I'm defenseless.' Kagome thought bitterly.
"I know you are skilled with a bow so there is no need to train you in that. For now we'll settle for armed combat." Sesshomaru announced, throwing Kagome a wooden practice sword.
The lizard youkai stepped forward.
"I am Tokage." The lizard demon announced, bowing slightly before looking at Kagome.
Kagome gave him a nod, afraid her voice might betray her.
Suddenly Tokage lunged at her. Kagome moved, she didn't worry about getting away from his attack it was attacking that she was worried about.
Tokage lunged at her again and she side stepped him.
"Use your sword." Sesshomaru called to Kagome.
'Oh yeah.' Kagome thought.
Tokage thrust his sword at her and she clashed it with her own, on pure instinct. Tokage jumped and flipped as he landed behind Kagome and put his fake sword to her throat.
'No way are you losing!' Kagome thought to herself.
She thought back to her training as a kid to escape a kidnapper. Kagome kicked at Tokage's knee and, to her surprise, it connected, sending him down to one knee. Kagome whirled around with her sword at Tokage's neck.
Sesshomaru smirked on the inside. She had the fire and she had what she needed to fight she just needed to work on attacking.
Tokage smiled at Kagome and she offered him her hand. He stood up and smiled at her.
"Beginners luck." He announced in a playful manner.
Kagome laughed softly.
For some reason Kagome paying attention to Tokage angered Sesshomaru.
"Go again." Sesshomaru commanded.
Kagome and Tokage sparred for hour's non stop. Kagome won the occasional battle and was getting better at attacking. Kagome's body hurt. The practice sword wasn't as nice feeling as she thought. She knew she would bruise tomorrow, and bruise a lot.
By the time lunch had rolled around Kagome was so tired she wanted to sleep. They stopped for a quick lunch before Sesshomaru dismissed his two warriors.
"I will train you for unarmed combat." Sesshomaru announced.
Kagome, who was drinking a glass of refreshing water, nearly chocked on her drink when she heard that.
"Is that an inconvenience?" Sesshomaru asked, agitated.
"No…but…"Kagome trailed off, thinking off the few times Sesshomaru had tried to kill her.
Sesshomaru could read her thoughts and suddenly felt ashamed of the times he had attacked her. He had only done it because she was in front of his brother.
Kagome stood up and looked at Sesshomaru.
"Are you ready?" She asked him.
Sesshomaru nodded and the two faced each other.
Kagome was waiting for him to teach her some sort of defensive or offensive stance when he lunged at her.
"Okay, we can just start." Kagome thought out loud.
Sesshomaru turned around and looked at Kagome as he lunged at her.
Kagome moved slightly to the side, crouched and tried to sweep out Sesshomaru's legs.
Sesshomaru counted by bringing his heel up. He had expected Kagome to move but instead his boot met her face.
Kagome reeled back slightly but that only infuriated her. And when Kagome was angry…well.
Kagome lunged at Sesshomaru who gracefully moved out of the way but Kagome had been planning on that and spun around. Her heel met his chest, sending him back a few steps out of pure surprise.
Sesshomaru was now angry at himself for letting his guard down.
Kagome noted the change in Sesshomaru's aura and silently gulped.
Sesshomaru lunged at Kagome who moved and blocked the kick he had sent. Kagome tried to punch him and got a lucky shot in.
Before she knew it she was pinned to the wall with a seething Sesshomaru very close to her body.
Kagome was scared…really scared…it reminded her that she was still weak. If she couldn't even handle sparring with Sesshomaru how was she supposed to handle Naraku?
Sesshomaru returned to his normal self and unpinned Kagome. He opened his mouth to speak but Kagome had already taken off. The smell of salt lingered in Sesshomaru's nose and he felt a part of him feel bad. Sesshomaru, the lord of the west, felt bad.
Kagome ran past everyone and everything until she made it to her room. She opened the door and shut it behind her, sliding down it and crying.
How could she do it? How could she battle Naraku? InuYasha was right, she didn't belong there.
Kagome chocked on her own tears as she slowly crept into her bed and let the tears stain the lovely silk.
Kagome closed her eyes and felt that box inside her break as she shielded herself in own pure energy.
She laid there for about a half hour before she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in." Kagome called out, expecting it to be Shippo.
Sesshomaru opened the door, stepped in, closed the door and walked over to where Kagome sat with tear streaked cheeks.
"Oh Sesshomaru." Kagome said, suddenly feeling stupid for crying and wiping her cheeks.
Sesshomaru looked down at the miko Kagome and he wanted her. It was a stupid thought. But he wanted her. And what Sesshomaru wanted Sesshomaru got. But Sesshomaru, at the moment, didn't know what he wanted to do with her…not yet.
Sesshomaru opened his mouth to speak but was beat to the punch.
"I guess I shouldn't have just run out of there like that. It seems stupid now." Kagome told him, standing up.
A stray hair feel into Kagome's face, ruining her beautiful face. Sesshomaru brushed the hail behind Kagome's ear and Kagome leaned into his hand.
He was warm. It was comforting. He was comforting. She felt at ease around him. His touch was sending a sensation though her like no other.
Sesshomaru could feel Kagome's breath on his hand. He had simply brushed her hair behind her ear and already he could feel his heat rising, as well as hers.
Kagome looked at him with eyes that sparkled with a hidden lust.
Sesshomaru leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.
Kagome was surprised and opened her mouth to gasp.
Sesshomaru plunged his tongue into her warm cavern.
He dominated her mouth.
He pulled her too him and divulged deeper into Kagome's sweetness. She moaned and wrapped her arms around him.
Sesshomaru's inner beast responded with a growl that vibrated through his chest and made Kagome shiver.
He moved from her mouth to her neck where he kissed and nipped at the place where a traditional mate mark would be. Kagome gasped again.
Sesshomaru looked into Kagome's blue eyes and lost himself in them as she lost herself in his golden ones.
Sesshomaru kissed her passionately, and they both feel back on the bed behind them. He hovered over her and kissed her again, and again.
It was wrong.
Sesshomaru knew it went against everything he had ever believed.
But it felt so right.
Kagome wrapped her arms back around Sesshomaru's neck and pulled him to her.
She knew this wasn't supposed to happen.
But nothing that was supposed to happen had happened so why ruin this.
Sesshomaru pulled away from Kagome and looked into her eyes, purring.
Kagome realized what had just happened and looked back at Sesshomaru.
"What now?" Kagome asked, almost afraid of the answer.
Alright, that's the chapter. Thing's are moving faster than I had expected. I wanted to draw the story out but I feel it needs a quick ending. There will be at least three more chapters, varying in length with a lemon, go lemons, but that will most likely be it. I know, I know, I'm horrible for rushing the story and all that but I really want to start 'Fates Game' and I'm almost tempted too and just try and update them both on regular intervals. Anyways, this will be last update for the next few days, I think. I'm going to a spa for the weekend, no computer access unfortunately. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.
