They wake later together and enjoy a quiet dinner. Sesshomaru answers when Avalon asks questions but remains more pensive throughout the dinner. As the day passes and he thinks about the outburst that happened the night before, he feels an obligation to break their connection. 'This is not fair to her.' He cannot love, will not allow himself to love and what's more, he cannot fathom a life where he does not leave behind a child that is like him, to raise a pureblooded son in his place as his father did.
He sets Avalon down in his bed, getting an extra blanket to cover her with and lights the fire nearby before he leaves to keep her warm. He touches her shoulder, feeling tender and fearful. 'Forgive me.' He kisses her cheek and leaves in search of his mother.
At this hour she is always found in her private room. He knocks on the door, knowing that he might face a beheading if he enters without announcing himself. "Mother."
Gobodo-sama leisurely lays in her bed. Her head swivels towards the door, ready to kill any who would dare disturb her, when she hears her son's voice. A wicked grin passes over her face, before she schools it to be as stoic as his. "Come my son," she calls airlily.
He opens the door and enters approaching her bed and then kneels in front of her. Sesshomaru pulls down the left side of his kimono, baring the stump to his mother.
Gobodo-sama eyes widen and her mouth pops open for a second before she schools her features. "My son." She gets off the bed and gently grasps his bicep looking at the arm. "I am sorry, I can't fix this for you," she says softly letting the limb go.
He covers his stump again and forces himself to speak of what he came for. "I did not come here for healing." He grits his teeth and lowers his gaze. "You have not asked why I would bond that which I hate."
"I didn't think you would tell me my son. Why did you bond a ningen and a miko at that? Even though she is strong and quite beautiful," she says gently to her son.
"She is powerful," he agrees with her, rubbing his chest. 'What is this?' He can't wrap his head around his feelings. "It was an accident," he avoids her gaze as he tells her of the battle after his arm was severed by Inuyasha. How he had sliced her side open, how she cried in pain for him to help her, her knowledge of the future and the many times she had been violated and finally how she had tried to kill herself when he told Avalon about the bond. "It was you who told this Sesshomaru to leave a pureblooded heir behind," he reminds his mother. "This was not done in love, not even in friendship. I bonded her without her consent. Can it be broken without death?"
Gobodo-sama nods her head thinking of all he has said. "You care for eachother or the bond would not have formed," she says, softly, reminding him of that fact.
He shakes his head refusing the emotion. "I am fond of her," he admits tentatively. "But this is not right, to do this to her. I am no better than the ones that have taken her without her consent. I did it to save her life, not to tie her to life without love."
She smiles forlornly at her son. "And you can't love her?"
"I cannot love a human. She is not what I need."
Gobodo places her hand on either side of her son's face to pull his head up to look into her eyes. "I am sorry my son, but once the bond is formed there is no way to break it, other than death. Yours or hers."
He removes Tenseiga from his obi and hands it to his mother, bowing his head. "Then kill me and free her."
Gobodo takes the sword in her hands hesitantly. "I'm not sure that would even work. The reason death breaks the bond is because it is permanent. If you come back to life, I fear the bond would be still intact. Even if it worked, you would break her soul. She would never be the same," she warns sedately
"Is there one who would know?" He sets Tenseiga in his mother's lap, relinquishing his father's heirloom to her. "I cannot do this to her. She would not have come to my bed save for the bond that compels us together. How is that not the same as violating her?"
"I am sorry my son, it is close, I suppose but it's not the same. She may be drawn to you but she can fight the urge just as you can. It's difficult and will be maddening but the fact you came together so soon means she was not against the idea," she says softly to him as she rubs his cheek.
"Is there one who would know if the bond would be revived?"
"Perhaps Chie. The only time I can think where this has happened is with your father and Izayoi. Chie tended her after... I will call for her," she says, walking away to the door. She slides it open, spotting a female inuyoukai. "You, fetch Chie immediately," she commands.
The female inuyoukai looks startled and bows her head. "Hai, Gobodo-sama." She turns and rushes to the healers chambers.
Gobodo-sama returns to her son with a dole smile on her face. "You do not need to give me a pureblooded grandchild," she says to him.
"I only agreed to give her a hanyou in return for a pureblood heir. I will not give my empire to a hanyou," he spits it out like it's filth.
Gobodo shakes her head somberly but says nothing. Moments later Chie stands at her door.
"My Lady." Chie bows.
"Come and close the door behind you," Gobodo-sama commands.
"Hai." Chie turns and closes the door on the female inu-youkai who has returned with her.
"Chie, my son wishes to ask you a question and I am hoping you may know the answer."
"Of course my Lady." Chie turns to address Sesshomaru. "My Lord?"
"If I die," he speaks slowly, "will Tenseiga bring the bond back."
"You mean with your mate?" Chie asks, looking at Sesshomaru with her old, but piercing gaze.
He nods.
"Hmmm, the only time that has happened is with your father and Izayoi. From what we had talked about, she said when she was brought back she still felt connected to him and when he died, she knew because her soul felt like it was torn in half. If that is anything to go by and her words are to be trusted, then yes the bond would return," Chie says thoughtfully.
Sesshomaru knuckles his forehead. "It's not unprecedented to have a mate and another." 'She deserves better than this. She has had enough pain.'
Gobodo looks at her son. "No it is not."
"I would still provide for her, clothing, food, shelter. She would not want for anything." He grits his teeth, hugging the stump. 'This is not right.'
"Except love," Gobodo-sama says, softly and morose.
"Except love," he echoes coldly, going to the door. "Goodnight mother."
"Son, consider trying for her," she says with little hope.
"There's nothing to try, mother." He exits the door and walks down the hallways to his room, finding Avalon still asleep. He kneels down next to her, while reaching for a vial to end the growing pain in his shoulder and then rests his forehead against Avalon's as she sleeps. 'What have I done to you?' He closes his eyes and calls on his yoki to enter her dream. 'Can you forgive this Sesshomaru?'
Avalon straddles Kagewaki over a low table where food and dishes have been scattered on the ground. Kagewaki's legs dangle onto the floor with his hakama around his ankles. Avalon rides him, moaning in pleasure as he bucks into her. Her hands rub up and down his chest before she dips low and captures his mouth in a passionate kiss. Kagewaki grabs her ass roughly, drawing blood as he digs into her flesh.
"Ava," he moans out low and guttural. "Moan my name," he commands.
"Kagewaki," she responds deep and seductively.
"Yes," he smiles, pulling his bloody fingers from her flesh to run his hands through her hair and along her cheek, leaving a trail of blood on her face.
Sesshomaru's body materializes behind Kagewaki. His mouth clenches. In the dream he has both his arms. "Fight him," he tells Avalon from a dark wall. "Fight back."
Avalon's dead eyes flick over to the wall, before Kagewaki pulls her face back to him, consuming her mouth. "You are mine," he says against her lips, thrusting up into her.
Sesshomaru strides forward, turning Avalon's eyes to his, cupping her face in both his hands. "You are no one's. Fight back."
Kagewaki keeps bucking into her as she rolls her hips in rhythm with him "Scream my name Ava," he commands her.
Avalon moans and screams, "KAGEWAKI!"
"Good girl," he praises her.
Avalon's eyes are blank and unemotional and seem to not even see Sesshomaru.
"Come back to me, Onaga," he says affectionately. "This is a dream. He has no control over you now. Look at me. Listen to my voice. You are strong." 'Find your strength, Avalon.'
Avalon blinks as light comes back to her eyes. She reaches out to Sesshomaru wrapping her arms around him and dragging herself off of Kagewaki's body.
"GET BACK HERE AVA!" Kagewaki commands angrily.
Avalon continues to cling to Sesshomaru desperately.
Sesshomaru lifts Avalon bridal style in his arms. "Change it. He is not here in your dream. Take us where you want to go."
Avalon lifts her face to his and kisses him with deep passion and gratitude. She closes her eyes and thinks of one of the places she has always wanted to go with him, to her house in the future. The world swirls around them in a blur and it slows as the scene changes. They are in her bedroom. Back at her home. "My room in the future," she speaks to him for the first time.
He sets her down and immediately finds the life-size picture of himself. He points at the strange drawing confused. "This?"
"What you look like in the series," she says smiling at him.
He traces his own chin. "Series?" He chooses to ignore it. There is a reason he came here. Here they could feel no bond between them, he could erase her memories of Kagewaki, the samurai and the first who violated her. Would she still come to him? 'What if you didn't know about this series?' he thinks and changes the room, the picture is gone, he takes the memories of him from her and he stares at other pictures, of how people are dressed in her time, but decides to only remove his traditional armor and sword.
"What are you doing in my room? I'm going to call the police," she says in English surprised to see someone in her home.
'Perhaps I should have left her knowledge of the language.' He lets her have that back.
"Leave or I'll scream," she warns.
He sits down on her bed, surprised by how bouncy it is and touches the top, curious at the strange material and how high it is off the floor. "You are scared of me," he says lacing his fingers together over his knees.
"You're a stranger in my home. Get out!" She runs to her cell phone dialling 9-1-1.
He stops whatever the contraption in her hand is, making it disappear. "You are not even curious about me?" It hits him rather dolefully that in this reality she lacks the excitement she should.
"I am now, how did you do that? How did you make my cell phone disappear?" she says backing up from him.
"I did not come to hurt you." He twirls his hand in the air producing a sakura flower and walks up to Avalon, sliding it into the hair over her left ear. "I am not human."
"Obviously," she admonishes, hitting the back wall. "What are you?"
"Dog demon," he says plainly.
"You don't look like a dog," she says wryly.
"Take my hand." He holds his striped hand out to her. "Do not touch the claws."
Avalon looks down at his hand curiously. 'He can make things appear and disappear. If he wanted to do something to me he could have already.' She reaches her hand out taking his hand, careful of the claws
"If I wanted to do something, I would have already," he echoes her thoughts and takes her to the window, searching for a clear area. 'This world is strange,' he thinks taking her into the air. There are tall things with windows, and strange moving things below and sounds he hasn't heard before. "I hear your thoughts, Avalon."
"Well that's unfair," she pouts. 'But it's cool he can fly!' she thinks excitedly.
He flies high into the sky remembering she had liked the rush of free falling, but as he does, he hauls her onto his back and his body begins to change form. His face breaks into a smile, merging his stripes into a V that trace his mouth. His hair flows as long ruff as his body shifts into his dog form.
Avalon can't help but be excited this is invigorating. "You are a dog after all!" she says happily. "Where are we going?" she asks
'Not a common dog, Onaga,' he thinks, allowing her to hear it. She would never be able to in the real world, but here, where he had more control was different.
"Onaga?" she asks, confused.
'A bird,' he answers her, flying until the ground below them is miniscule and looks like a map or a miniature city. 'Fly with me.' He lets gravity take them as he nosedives towards the surface.
Avalon grabs his fur screaming with exhilaration. 'Obviously he isn't an ordinary dog. Too big and they can't fly. Dog demon,' she thinks while her voice rings out.
He pulls up, flying along the surface of the buildings, twirling his body around them and then soars high and dives again, enjoying her screams.
'You keep this up and I'm going to lose my voice,' she chides in her mind. 'Is that your goal dog demon, make the mortal woman lose her voice?' She laughs out.
Sesshomaru changes his form again and hers, slowly flying back to her bedroom, but this time her clothes are off and so are his. He's made her a virgin and closes his mind to her as he lands in her room, kissing her mouth, holding the back of her head with one hand while the other grips her bottom. 'Would you have come to me like this?'
Avalon kisses him back unaware that she is naked until he moves against her and she feels the sensation of skin against her stomach. She pushes him away covering herself. "What...what… is this?" she grabs the blanket from her bed wrapping herself, looking at him confused and slightly betrayed. "I'm a virgin," she says, shocked at his audacity to strip her and him naked without her consent. 'Not that there isn't possibility here'.
"A dream," he answers her, walking forward, taking one of her hands and setting her palm against his chest. "A dream," he says more wistfully.
"You're in my dreams?" she asks, confused.
Sesshomaru backs away, willing their clothing back into existence. 'I should have known.' He produces another sakura flower and sets it in her hand.
Avalon takes a closer look at his clothing. "You're not from my time are you?" she asks, gently walking towards him.
He shakes his head, curious where she would take this. He had meant to exit her dream here, to leave her. She did not want him, did not trust him.
"Then you might not realize how stripping me...us of our clothing would seem. We date, then we marry, then we do that. I'm not opposed to getting to know you better and seeing where things go," she says, looking into his eyes.
He approaches her again taking her hand, setting it on his chest, while willing just his hanjuban and hankimono away and her shirt, leaving her bare from the waist up. He holds his hand over her heart. "You feel nothing?" His mouth is only inches from hers.
Avalon considers how she is feeling. "I feel drawn to you, but the way I was raised tells me to get to know you, before we do more...um...uh...intimate acts," she says with a deep blush on her cheeks.
"Ask," he says panting and kisses her mouth more tenderly.
"You said you're a dog demon? How old are you?" she asks inquisitively.
"Over 900 winters." He closes the gap between them, kissing her mouth again. "Ask."
"Why are you um...uh...interested in me?" she asks now that she knows his age and race.
"Beautiful, powerful." He lifts her palm to his mouth, tenderly sucking on her skin, up her wrist and arm. He mouths her shoulder and then her neck, flicking his tongue against her skin. "Ask."
"What do you do, I mean, I work with people translating to make money so I can buy food and keep a roof over my head. Do you work? Do you need food?"
"Warrior...raw meat," he says as his lips return to hers and he raises his hand, cupping one of her breasts, massaging it. "Ask."
Avalon gasps at the sensation of him touching her breast. "How do I know you are real?" she says panting feeling desire pooling in her abdomen.
"Shhh," he hushes her, letting his mouth fall on her neck, down her collarbone and then suckles on her other breast. 'Two hands, like this I can hold you with two hands.'
Avalon breath hitches as his mouth moves on her breast. She rocks her hips into the bed attempting to relieve some of the desire she is feeling.
He lifts her body further onto the bed, removing the rest of their clothing. His mouth comes back up to hers, taking in her lips, the feel of her body as she saw it before. She was just as muscled as she was for him in real life. He traces the lines on her stomach with the pad of his finger and then comes down cupping her apex, as he leans over her.
Avalon rocks into his hand losing herself into him. His touch is sensual and his lips were divine. She continues rocking her hips as juices start to drip from her sex.
He feels a guilt, knowing that like this he will be her first, pushing one finger inside her core. "Relax," he mutters, kissing her neck and her shoulders and then returning to her mouth, while his thumb finds her bud, giving it circular attention.
Avalon muscles tense at the invasion inside of her but soon she relaxes again rocking her hips as he brushes her clit. She kisses him with passion devouring his mouth.
He pushes a second finger in and begins stretching her in scissor-like motions, teasing her core, while stimulating her bud.
Avalon moans against his lips from pain and pleasure. It was so unfamiliar to her. She opens her legs wider while her thighs thrust up when he hits her just right.
He remembers she likes it deep and pushes his fingers in deeper, keeping the pressure on her bud, then kisses her chest, spending time swirling his tongue around her nipples. He can feel her tightening, the pressure and the way she is clamping down on his fingers. "So close," he whispers in her ear, rocking his hand with her hips.
Avalon moans as the pleasure keeps building in her stomach and her muscle contract and stiffen. Suddenly, when she reaches a peak, juices flow more freely from between her legs and her mind enters bliss.
He smiles, it's a dream, and he won't tell her of it. His hand is damp from her center. He replaces his fingers with his shaft, sliding into her while she was lost in her bliss, pinning her wrists over her head and then lowering his body closer to her, cupping her face in one hand and her ass in the other. He groans into her neck as he takes her. "So strong."
Avalon's arms wrap around him pulling him to her body. Her legs wrap around his waist pulling him into her. She moans in a bit of pain from his size and the tearing of her hymen but she feels mostly just the pleasurable sensation of having him so close to her. She rocks against him slowly enjoying the gentle pace.
"Do you love me?" he asks her, wondering if it has already happened. Did she fall for him, someone who cannot love her back, who can't be what she needs.
Avalon blinks lost in her bliss. "Love you?" she asks. 'Do I love this demon I just gave myself to?' "I do," she says softly, bringing her lips to his again.
He returns the pressure of her mouth and gasps his need increases and the pace quickens, until he coats her womb. 'How it should have been,' his own words echo in his mind and he gives her mind a picture of the future he cannot give her. Two days later they lay in bed together, he comes to her in the night again and tells her she is pregnant. Several weeks after that, he tells her it's a boy and five months later he holds her under a tall camaphor while she births the child. He breaks the dream, leaving her mind just as the child slides between her legs, covered in lanugo and vernix, slippery and fat.
Sesshomaru pants at the exertion invading Avalon's dream, not on his body but his mind. Guilt bleeds through him as he leaves her in the room, in search of someone to batter. 'Spar...I need to spar.'
Avalon wakes up on the futon seeing that it is dark outside. She sits up noticing Sesshomaru isn't in the room. 'Where is he?' Avalon slides out of the bed and walks to the door. She is bored and was interested in learning more about the ancient dialect . She sees a servant walking the hall. "Hey you, where is the library?"
The female dog-demon turns around, raising an eyebrow at Avalon. "This one is not called you," the words come out clipped. Her silver hair is tied in elaborate braids, with fancy combs.
"My apologies, what is your name?" Avalon says to her, looking the woman over.
"Ainu," she says with a grin that reveals her fangs. (Goddess of fertility)
"Ainu, please lead me to the library," she says lightly.
"This way." She leads her down a long corridor, purposely walking quickly to make it difficult for Avalon to keep up without jogging.
Avalon keeps up with her undaunted by her fast pace. Avalon's breathing is even as she asks, "Are you in a particularly hurry Ainu?"
"Do you have difficulty keeping up?" the woman snaps back.
"Not really, just wondering where the fire was?" Avalon shrugs her shoulders unbothered.
The demoness stops abruptly and turns around, facing Avalon. "And I bet you think you are the only one that has quenched his fire." She waits for the admission to hit Avalon.
Avalon looks at the servant critically. She knew instantly what she had just implied. "I am aware he has had other partners," she says without hesitation.
"Then you know that he will never love you. You cannot give him what he wants. You can come here and threaten us with your reiki but at the end of the day, you will never be anything more than a mistress to bring pleasure, a flea...nothing." She returns to leading the way to the library.
Avalon follows her, allowing her reiki to create a barrier around them, stopping Ainu's advance. "You know nothing. He is my mate and I am his. We are bonded, did you know that? You are the flea. The insignificant one. He will never love you. You are only being spiteful," her voice drips with contempt.
"And he will still come back here, to me or another one of our females to reproduce the heir you can't. He bonded you by accident not by choice. That is not love, it's pity."
"The bond is permanent. It matters not if it was an accident. There is a fire that only I can quench. He will always return to my bed. Even if he does want an heir with one of you it will only be that of a concubine. He needs your kind only for that. How sad," she says, pitying the female who was trying to intimidate her.
"Interesting," the grin broadens on her face. "That's not what he was speaking to his mother about while you slept. Now, the library is this way, Sesshomaru-sama's concubine."
"I am not his concubine. I would never believe words from a snake like you." Avalon allows the barrier to drop with a smirk on her face acting as if the words had no effect on her. 'I will talk to Sesshomaru later about this.' "You know I think I have changed my mind. You are no longer needed. You may go," Avalon says dismissively, she starts going in a different direction.
"It is you who is no longer needed. Raped, a whore to how many men and bonded out of pity. You are nothing!" Ainu calls after her, folding her arms. "How sad he had to ask his mother...well...that's for him to say, so desperate is he to get rid of his mistake."
"You are dismissed," Avalon calls over her shoulder airlily continuing to walk away with her head held high.
"And to think he wasted his yoki on someone who has seen more use than the local watering hole," Ainu laughs while walking down the hall away from Avalon. "Mmh, I love his scent when he sweats."
Avalon ignores her jab, continuing on her walk to the kitchen. She steps through the door and smiles. "Evening."
Hiromaru has his head inside of shika and is making piles of their entrails. His scraggly black hair is tied back into a braid. The shika is on a decline, allowing the blood to be caught in a sieve. "Is that Avalon-sama I smell?"
"Who else has my scent?" she asks lightly.
"Your mate." He pops his head out of the belly of the carcass. "Especially after you know...but his yoki gives him away."
"Does that mean I smell like him?" she asks teasingly.
"His scent is on you," Hiromaru confirms, chucking the liver and pancreas into a pile.
"What is your take on Ainu?" she asks thinking back on her words.
"Jealous bitch, but I heard a bit of what she was shouting. Seems that there was some to do with Chie-sama and Gobodo-sama and Sesshomaru-sama in her room last night. But I can't say more than that. Gobodo-sama will have my head if she hears me gossiping about her." He goes to a small fountain of water against the wall made from stacked rocks and rinses his pudgy hands off.
"So there was some talk then? Anything I should worry about?" Avalon asks, shifting her weight to lean against the wall.
Hiromaru's eyes dart back and forth, thinking. "Best come with me, back here. Only place I know no one will be able to hear." He leads her to the back of the kitchen, down a hall and through a door into a padded room with blood stains. "This is where I kill them for eating. Walls are padded to keep the noise down." He lowers his voice to a whisper, "mind you this is only what I've heard circling around the castle. It's not right. I've never heard anyone ask before. He asked...well he asked how to break the uh...the bond between you two. I guess you've been through it eh? Like your little girl."
Avalon bites her lip. "I...um was held for five months," she says quietly with her shoulders slumped. 'Why does he want to break our bond?' A tear slips past her guard before wiping it away quickly.
"Yeah I heard that and some other times too. Likely a servant overheard him talking to his mother. You know we don't care as much about that as humans do. You best get the rest from him. Palace is buzzing with it right now. How he bonded a Miko by accident and doesn't want the bond. He's a cruel one, but you should talk to him."
"Yeah," Avalon wipes a few more tears away from her face "I'll go." Avalon puts her mask on and puts a proud smile on her face. "How do I look?"
"Like you want to kill someone. Listen to me, I've known Sesshomaru-sama since he was born. His mother longer than that. You just gotta know how to get to his heart. He used to have one. Before...well...I can't tell you about that, that will get me killed. But the quickest way to his heart is through his stomach," he speaks excitedly. "He loves shika, freshly killed in their first year. He'll eat a whole one without stopping and sleep afterwards, but you have to wait until he is nearby before you kill it. He likes when they are still warm, been that way since he was a child. And," he scratches the rolls of fat on his chin, "have you noticed he likes you brushing his hair? Washing him?"
"Isn't the stomach the way to every man's heart? And yeah I've noticed he likes it when I groom him."
"You do that, brush his hair, wash him, bring him food and this!" Hiromaru leads her to the vat of still warm shika blood, ladling it into a wooden water bottle. "He'll love it." He hands the bottle to Avalon.
"Yeah but will he love me?" she asks wistfully "I'm sorry, this is my problem. Thank you for your advice and your ears."
"Male Inu-youkai love when their females tend to them, especially if they don't have to ask. It shows you know him and what he needs. Remember that and that old hag Ainu won't have any room to talk." He laughs, "they're all just jealous because they tried to make him love them and got nothing in return but a few nights in his room before they were dismissed. She was a virgin. I hear all the talk around here, and she wanted to get pregnant but he got bored." He laughs harder. "Couldn't give him what he wanted. He hasn't loved anyone."
'He loved someone but who?' "I will try my best. I guess, but Ainu is wrong on one point . She thinks I have seen a lot of action. It was only three that had me against my will and two are already dead by my hands," she says with venom. "And the last one will die as well."
"Like I said she's just a jealous bitch. They all are. He hasn't sent for any of them and I heard he made a display with you right in front of Yuri. He normally needs a few if you know what I mean. They're just mad that he hasn't asked since he brought you."
"Well that is true," she smiles thinking of that time. "But if someone comes asking, I'm not ashamed of it anymore and I am proud that they no longer walk the earth in a way. I didn't cry because of being reminded of the rape. I cried because he wants to break the bond," Avalon says sadly.
"Well you best talk to him about it. And give him that blood. I heard his missing arm's been hurting something terrible. It'll help give him strength."
"Thank you Hiromaru-san." Avalon bows her head. She fans her reiki out to feel for his aura. "I wonder." She lifts the bottle to her lips tasting the blood. 'Interesting.' "Sometimes I wish I could smell like you inuyoukai can," she says looking up at him.
"He's been sparring in the practice room for a few hours now, trying to get used to fighting with one arm. Last I saw him, he was pretty battered too. Been chugging those pain vials."
"I must be going good evening," she turns to follow his aura. She walks down the hall and around the corner to the dojo. She can feel his aura and another that isn't nearly as powerful but definitely not to be messed with. She slides the door open to see Sesshomaru slamming his opponent on the ground. Sesshomaru is bloody and covered in sweat. "Hello," she says standing at the door.
