A/N: This one has some naughty language in it. It also happens to be one of my favorites, go figure...

It was late in the day when Kagome awoke in one of her favorite spots. She had happened upon it while wandering the lands alone near Lord Hano's village, and would often find herself there when she wanted to get away from the crowd and think.

With the others now officially paired up, she was finding she had a lot more time to kill on her own. That is, when Sesshoumaru wasn't around. Spending the night with him was more than fun, but it was nice to have some company during the daylight hours as well. She had enjoyed having him around even before they...became closer. His presence, to her, remained a soothing one; and one she missed when he was away.

The clearing near the cliff's edge gave way to a breathtaking view of the mountains in the distance, and the greenery of the forest that led the way there offered some solitude when it was desired. Flowers made for a cozy feeling as well as a pleasant aroma, which she considered Rin would appreciate. 'I should bring her here the next time she comes to visit,' was her first thought, but she reconsidered.

The steep drop-off might make the area dangerous for a child, not that Sesshoumaru would let her fall. 'He shouldn't have to always be on guard, though.' It didn't seem fair to always assume he could be the one to protect them all, even though he would.

He seemed to be more ease these days, and she wondered if that was a reason he was so inclined to visit their little village. She wanted to relieve him of some of the burden of his duties, at least while he was with her.

He was seated not far from her; taking in the view while she had slept. He may not need sleep, but their activities had kept them busy through the night and she needed to play catch up. She dozed once she made herself comfortable in the grass, and though he didn't think she'd planned on it, he didn't mind keeping watch while she got her rest. It was his fault she was so tired, anyhow.

His aloof visage was deceptive as she made her way over to him. He was aware she had roused, but made no sign of it as she took a seat by his side. Together, they gazed out to the distance beyond the cliff's edge for a long moment before he broke the silence.

"This One suspects your kit may harbor homosexual affinities," he decided to inform her. He wasn't sure if it would break the boy's confidence to mention this to her, but knew that Kagome only wanted the best for him. The statements he made earlier in the springs had concerned him, and he had given the possibility some thought.

"You think Shippo is gay? Why?" Sure, he'd always had a kind of effeminate air about him, but most little boys tended to. She assumed he would grow out of it.

"He asked This One how males would go about having sex with one another."

She hadn't expected that 'the talk' he had with Shippo would take that turn. She was curious about what they had discussed, but figured it would remain between them. It warmed her heart that Sesshoumaru had taken an interest in the boy. She was certain Shippo was grateful to him as well.

"What did you tell him?" How graphic was he willing to be with her honorary son?

"To ask Inuyasha." He said it with such a straight face that she busted up laughing despite herself.

"That's fine if he's gay. I won't love him any less." Would he?

"There are those who would see him harmed. He will need training to become strong enough to fend them off." Relief washed over her as she realized he wouldn't hold it against him. Apparently, she wasn't the only one ahead of her time here. She realized something else just then too.

"Like from the Western Army?"

"Precisely." He wanted Shippo in his lands. This was just another reason.

"Another selfish act?"

"Entirely"

The pieces were starting to fall into place, and she wondered how much of his recent kindness had to do with her.

"And all my friends have shiny new positions in fancy new digs waiting for them in the West as well."

"As do you, if you wish it," he reminded. "Will you join them?" She had agreed to come for the wedding, but not to stay. Not yet. He would have the others convinced after a stay in his fortress, but what about her? He had been racking his brain as to what could be done to convince her that her place was with him. Not necessarily with him, though the prospect was not all together unpleasant. Getting all of her friends to make the move was a good start, but it didn't seem to be enough.

"Like I said, I need to go home to talk to my family," she felt like she was rejecting him. That's not what she was doing. She didn't even know exactly where she stood with him, but she didn't want to rush it along. Neither did she want to dissuade him.

"You would, of course, be able to come and go as you please." If she couldn't decide, couldn't she stay at the fortress until she did?

"I don't know if I want any duties that come with a title." Like Lady of the West? She didn't want to be tied down, as he seemed to be. It was selfish not to give the aid he seemed to think she could offer. To help Inuyasha in his cause. But she had given so much of herself already. 'Like, half my soul...' Didn't she deserve to be selfish now? Her quest was finally done, and she had her freedom. She found that she liked it.

"And you could live however you choose. There will always be a room in the fortress for you, if you do not wish to share mine..." So apparently that was an option. "Or if you prefer another location within my lands, accommodations will be made there. You can perform your miko duties among the villagers if you wish. Or a million other things. Your destiny will be yours to dictate. This Sesshoumaru will see to it."

And there it was. They hadn't discussed a future together. He was leaving it all up to her. She had her freedom, but now it came with the burden of choice. It was easier to make a selection between a number of options, but he had given her every option. She could do anything at all. What would she choose for herself now? Part of her wished he had given her an ultimatum.

"You are a very persuasive demon." But was it enough? Would she require more?

"This has been established. And I shall continue to be, until you have made your decision." If she refused, he would respect her wishes. But until that time came, he would do all he could to make her refusal impossible.

She had a wicked look in her eye then, and he regarded her curiously as she licked her palm, before asking, "Even now?"

She couldn't give him an answer yet. That's not to say she wasn't impressed with the offer. He barely had time to react as realization dawned on him, and she reached inside his clothes. He allowed her to commence stroking his length until it became hard.

"Who is persuading whom?" he wondered aloud, but didn't resist. He instead leaned back on his hands to support his weight as she continued her ministrations on his stiff member. Their last session had been cut short by the kit's interruption, and he was more than happy to pick up where they left off.

Once at full attention, she pulled his cock from his hakama and took him into her eager mouth. The action caused him to push himself back up with a start. "Miko, not here," he plead more than commanded. "If a demon were to come by and see us-"

"You would be mortified about being caught cavorting with a human?" she finished for him. It came off as more of a taunt than an accusation, and he held her cheek lightly in his hand.

"They could take advantage of This One's distracted state and attack," he corrected gently. He wasn't ashamed of her. Not by a longshot.

She picked up on this, and smiled at him as she resumed stroking. The wetness left on him from her mouth allowed her to pull on him harder than before, causing him to close his eyes in pleasure.

"But what a way to go," she quipped, and lowered her head back down.

Damn. She had him there.

'Hey, did you hear about Sesshoumaru? He got maimed by a lesser demon while the Shikon Miko was sucking his cock!' He could live with that.

'How did the Lord of the West die? Getting his dick sucked.' Acceptable. They could just put that on his tombstone.

He relented, leaning back on his elbows and just watched her. The last time, the new sensation had him so lost in pleasure that he could barely keep himself in check. Now, he could fully enjoy the sight the miko made while she lavished her attentions on him.

He didn't bother to hide his fascination as she shamelessly whored herself out on his cock. His mouth opened slightly to reveal deadly fangs, and he would inhale sharply during an especially exquisite pull of her soft lips. It looked like she was doing a job that she loved, and the sounds of pleasure she herself made relayed the same. A 'thank you' seemed to always be threatening to tumble from his tongue.

He dug his claws into the grass and found his vocabulary suddenly lacking, "...Kagome, ah...fucking kami, miko..." Oh, the indignity. She had him whimpering like a pup. Effectively turning into a puddle of goo at her feet. Her mouth tried to crack a smile around his girth, and she realized her life's goal was now to make Sesshoumaru curse as often as she was able.

No female had ever seen him this way, had such command over him. But none had pleased him so well, or so regularly. And she had his respect as well, which made her...worthy. He liked her; liked being with her. That she had him in her mouth was immaterial, however...

"Co-me to the We-West…Please," there was another word she wasn't certain he'd ever used before now; at least not in the context of begging. In the blink of an eye, she was on him. The school girl garb she had always worn made her panties easy to discard on their own, and they had now truly picked up where they had left off this morning as she impaled herself on his large cock and rode his lap.

Slightly more in control of his faculties, he splayed his hands on her back, but let her continue to set the pace. She grabbed his shoulders for leverage as she moved, and put her face within an inch of his own to look into his reddened eyes.

"Do you like it when I suck your cock, Sesshoumaru?" It was asked quietly, but not a whisper. She was basking in the power he'd given her over him, and the thrill it gave her.

"Yes," he replied raggedly. No one demanded answers from him, and her boldness was intoxicating. The otherwise sweet and innocent little miko only let the profanity fly when he was inside her, and that knowledge turned him on immensely. He didn't care for it in most any other setting, but this...it was as if it was only for him.

"Mmn, I love sucking your big dick," she went on as she fucked him. She knew he liked this.

"You get rock hard, and I just want to choke on it," an amused huff was all he could manage at that. He really didn't know what to say, so she helped him.

"Does it feel good inside me?" her pace was maddening. It wasn't slow, but she couldn't hope to achieve his own demon speed. He started jerking his hips up to meet her.

"Kami, yes."

"Tell me how my pussy feels, Sesshoumaru," oh, he loved how his name sounded coming from her filthy mouth, and he could deny her nothing.

"It is hot," he began, and she moved her hand behind his neck,

"and tight," she pressed her forehead to his, and moaned silently as he spoke,

"and so. fucking. wet." The feel of him sliding up and down inside of her was building the pressure to its peak. She wouldn't last long. She'd been on fire ever since she got cockblocked that morning.

"It's your fault, Sesshoumaru," she was almost there.

"You make my pussy so fucking wet. Kami, I'm going to cum all over your hot...demon...cock...ahhh!" She didn't restrain her scream as she came hard, and he finally let himself go as she found her pleasure. Moving his hands to squeeze her tits, he mouthed a silent moan that seemed to just keep coming as she collapsed against his neck.

His hips kept moving as he rode it out; and as he got his breathing back to manageable, he kissed her hard and forcefully. His hands moved to hold her face to keep the kiss deep, and the urge to tell her he loved her came on strong. He immediately pushed the thought back, not certain if his timing would be considered appropriate, or even if the feeling was real.

'Puppy love, perhaps.'

They panted as they came down, and Kagome had a thought. "Wow."

"Indeed."

"No, I mean...Almost 800, and the Lord of The West only just got his first blowjob this morning." he raised his eyebrow at her apparent mockery,

"We've got some time to make up."

Hn. Agreed.

This chapter kind of has a part 2. If I get a good response, I could see my way to posting it early... I am also quite persuadable...
