Here's another one!

Atomi was all smiles as he arrived home after another long day at work. Besides being the newest priest to the council he was also a teacher of the trade at the local shrine. Kagome was the only one in the family that didn't spread her knowledge of her powers with others. But he supposed she used them for some good at least, fighting demons. Then again she also fought humans…. Don't get him wrong, he wasn't biased to the demon species or anything. He just wished his eldest daughter would understand why it's important for humans to know that she is on their side. Instead she fought both sides, making humans wary of her powers as well as demons. She already had a rough life, he really didn't want his daughter to be a target.

Stepping out of his car after parking, he glanced around at the stuff still being packed inside the moving truck. He saw Kikyou filing her nails next to her high school graduation present. Caramel eyes glanced up, " Hey dad, you better get upstairs quick."

He frowned, " What's wrong now?"

Kikyou just shrugged, " Souta's having another tantrum."

Atomi sighed, Souta was only one year old when Kagome was sent to prison but she was the sister he imprinted on the most. As a baby Souta wouldn't stop crying until he was in his sister's arms. He wouldn't eat for anyone but her, play with anyone but her or even talk to anyone but her. When she was arrested, Souta took it the hardest, they had to actually make a pillow out of Kagome's old shirts so he would sleep. And once he was big enough to realize what jail was, he snuck out to see his sister at least 3 times a week. And to make it worse, Kagome didn't help his attachment by buying him all these expensive gifts and giving him his own credit card and teaching him how to ride a motorcycle.

He shook his head as he walked up the stairs, he was a male Kagome. Hearing sobbing, Atomi stepped into the teenager's room, watching his son stand in front of his closet, tossing clothes on his comforter. He frowned, " What's going on here?"

May turned, wiping at her tears, " Honey, he's moving out! He wants to leave."

Atomi made a face, " That's ridiculous."

Souta just turned, walking over to his bed, " Its true." He said, stuffing the clothes into a duffle, " I'm moving in with Kagome."

May shook her head, " That's crazy Souta, she's too dangerous!"

Souta turned, emptying draws, " I'm not staying here dealing with the bullshit you keep trying to feed me about my sister."

Atomi frowned at the language of his youngest, " Why don't everyone just calm down for a moment and let's talk this out."

Souta turned, standing at his full height, almost mirroring his father, " Talk it out? Fine. I'm tired of you pacifying my mother and treating Kikyou like she's your only daughter. I'm tired of you and this entire family pretending my sister doesn't exist. She's not the bad guy."

May frowned, now getting upset, " Yes she is! She took a knife and stabbed your sister in the chest! It almost hit her heart! Kikyou would have died!"

There was a honk outside, the young teen just shouldered his bag and grabbed his suitcase, " I'll send for the rest of my things."

May blinked, anger evaporating, " Souta wait!" she glanced to her husband, " Atomi do something, he's really going to leave! We have to stop him!" she yelled, chasing after her son.

May was slamming open the front door just as Kagome stepped out of the company's SUV, " What are you doing here?!"

Kagome turned to her mother but did not respond, she simply popped the trunk for her brother so he can put his bags in.

May frowned as Atomi made his way outside, " You are not moving in with her Souta!"

The teen frowned, " This has nothing to do with her, the issue is with you people."

Kikyou raised a brow, watching the entire seen play out while she continued to file her nails, " She's going to kill him like she tried to kill me."

Kagome frowned, turning towards her sister, " Believe me, if I wanted you dead you would be."

Atomi raised his arms, " Would everyone just calm down!"

May angrily stepped forward, " You Bitch!"

Atomi blinked at the language of his wife, blocking her path as she tried to swing at Kagome, " You tried to take away my daughter and now you're taking away my son!"

Atomi held her by the waist, " Calm down May."

But she wasn't listening, struggling to get free of the hold so she can tear off the head of the evil female, " I wish you would have died when they pulled you out!"

Souta stepped in front of his sister, " What is wrong with you."

Kagome simply touched his shoulder, face impassive and free of any emotion, " Are you ready?"

He nodded, turning with her and headed towards the car, May reached for her son, " Souta please don't go! You can't trust her!"

Her cries went ignored however as Souta got in the car and Kagome pulled off. Kagome was driving on the highway, eyes focused on the road and her rear view mirrors trying to spot a possible tail. She felt a hand reach over and touch her hand that was on the stick. Souta settled back in his seat with a soft sigh, Kagome smiled, she could feel his aura surrounding her, calming her, relaxing her shoulders. Her brother was a lot stronger than many expected, she glanced over to him, " I'm fine C."

Souta just smiled, he missed the pulse of her powerful aura, the strength he could feel emitting from her was always energized, like her aura was always moving, ready for anything, it excited him. It made him feel safe, as if nothing could ever go wrong in her presence. He missed the effort it took to calm it; it was how he got his powers in the first place. His first year of life he was cocooned by Kagome's aura so much his body actually retained it somehow. It imprinted on him, became a part of him, he was a living personification of Kagome's love. And that is why he would never turn his back on his sister, he knew the truth.

" She shouldn't have said that, it was harsh." he finally answered.

Kagome just smiled, looking back to road, " I knew that woman didn't give a damn about me since I was 8 years old. Nothing she says now can ever hurt me."

He just frowned, glancing in the mirror, " It was still harsh, I should have decked her."

She laughed, feeling his hand tighten on hers for a moment, " I love you too Souta."

Souta smiled, glancing to his sister, " I love you too Blu, always."

She just smiled, shifting gears, changing the subject, " Let's grab some sandwiches before we head home."

He smirked, pulling his hand away, " Deal."

Sesshomaru sat with his suit jacket beside him, a half empty bottle of brandy on the table and a cup in his hand. There was music playing in the bar he was in. People dancing and laughing. He didn't look up from the booth he was sitting in, his back to the others, isolating himself. It was too early in the week for them to be acting a fool.

He took another gulp of his drink, feeling better and worse at the same time. There was something off with this woman. Something that wasn't completely human about her. The feelings he had for her burst within him so suddenly it left him almost shaken and confused. He wasn't even sure he liked the woman until he kissed her. Since that moment they shared the burning hasn't stopped yet.

He frowned, why was he even here? Because his head was hurting. All these damn thoughts and emotions were pissing him off. He took another gulp, then another. He wasn't drunk enough though the brandy was giving him a mellow buzz. Finally. It was going away. He couldn't feel it anymore like he hoped. His mind was getting blurry, exactly what he was waiting for. No more soft touches, no more sweet lips, no more steamy kisses. Nothing. He drunk some more. About damn time.

He took a deep breath, leaning back on the leather covered seat, maybe he can finally relax now. He didn't look up as his father came back from the bathroom, sliding into the booth adjacent from him.

Tashio leaned back in his seat, " Sesshomaru that bottle is $900, the least you can do is share it."

Amber eyes looked up, unreadable, Tashio raised a brow, his arm went on the back of the seat as he picked up his own cup," What's wrong with you pup? Kagome doesn't seem to be that bad."

Sesshomaru frowned at the childhood name, shaking his head, " There's has to be more to her story that we are not aware of."

Tashio blinked, taking a sip of his drink, " What do you mean?"

He leaned over, his elbows on the table, taking another gulp of the stiff brandy. " Earlier today she acted exactly like a female inu in heat."

Tashio looked at his son, " What?" he stared at the younger inu for a moment, " Are you sure?"

Sesshomaru nodded, leaning his head back, taking another big gulp. " She made me chase her, she fought me and then she growled at me."

Tashio shook his head, taking another drink, " Well that's different."

Sesshomaru frowned, " She's a virgin so I don't think she is aware of what she was doing or that she was so close to being mounded."

Tashio raised a brow, sipping his brandy, " This isn't the first female that tried to play to your natural instincts to gain favor with you. What makes this one so different?"

Sesshomaru poured another cup for himself, " Her powers." he mumbled, " Her aura burst and I almost lost control." He took a long stiff drink, " I think I bit her."

Brandy spewed out of the former Lord's mouth, he blinked, " You what!"

Sesshomaru looked up, " Her powers called to me."

Tashio frowned, " Did you…."

He cut him off, " I had to." he said, shaking his head, " I had to taste it." he frowned again, looking to his cup on the table, " It has to be a plot father, she can not possibly be that powerful and be able to hide it as well as she does."

Tashio drained the rest of his cup, looking to his son, his face was impassive but in those amber orbs that looked like his own, he saw confusion and worry. And just beneath that he saw lust and desire; a few scenarios played in the once general's head. If this was a plot by the humans to take down demons, they were doing a good job at keeping it quiet. But if it was simply the laws of attraction and fate pushing Sesshomaru and Kagome together he wasn't going to stop it. He was leaning towards the latter, if she was truly a virgin, there was no way she would be able to seduce his son. But her acting like an inu was indeed interesting and something he should look into, he nodded, " Okay, I'll use some of my contacts to get some more info on this miko but you need to go check on her now."

Sesshomaru blinked, " For what?"

Tashio set his glass down, " To see if you actually bit her, you could have marked her as your intended by accident." He leaned back in his seat, " Unless you want to mate her and share your lifespan."

Sesshomaru frowned, his father was right, he needed to be sure he didn't do something stupid, " I'll go find her."

Tashio nodded, " Good." Standing, and fixing his suit jacket, " I'll let you know what I find."

It was hitting 6 'o clock, Kagome was laughing with Souta on her bed, telling him about an undercover job she did a few weeks ago. Souta rolled onto his stomach and cuffed a pillow under his chin, " So what happened next?"

Kagome laughed, crossing her legs Indian style, " I was four feet away from the barrel when the bull charged at me, I never dived for cover so damn fast in my life."

Souta started cracking up, " Omg, what were you doing as a rodeo clown?"

Kagome nodded, giggling herself, " We heard a rumor that the bulls were actually demon bulls and the owner was suppressing their powers so he can use them in the rodeos."

Souta started laughing again, " I can't believe the things you go undercover as."

Kagome grinned, " Hey I can make any character work, no one can resist this face." she waved a hand in front of her before drooping her eyes and pouting her bottom lip.

Souta laughed, covering his eyes, " Stop with the puppy dog pout!"

Kagome laughed, she learned the look from a TV show, it could make a man willingly jump off a building, " Told ya."

He peeked an eye before looking up fully, " How come I can't pull off that look?"

" It's a secret and I'm not sharing."

He rolled his eyes, " Spoiled sport."

Kagome laughed then reached over and plopped him on the head with a pillow. He blinked at the sudden darkness, " Hey!"

He used the pillow he was laying on and tossed it at her, Kagome swatted it away before plopping him again, laughing as he jerked back to avoid the hit and fell off the bed. Kagome laughed as he plopped back on her bed, picked up the steak and cheese sandwich they got on the way home and took a huge bite.

Kagome grinned, " Fatty."

He just agreed, taking another bite, talking with his mouth full, " So, don't judge."

Kagome smiled, the relationship they had was stone solid. Nothing could ever come between them, Souta trusted Kagome undeniably and Kagome did absolutely everything for her baby brother. Once he turned 8, she was 15 and he started sneaking out to visit her in prison. The sessions they had helped her keep her sanity in jail. She was trialed as an adult and didn't go to a juvenile detention center. She was sent to Black Gate, a maximum security prison for the hardcore criminals because of how strong her powers were even at that young age. She had to learn quickly if she wanted to survive. When Souta first came to see her, she told him the truth about what happened that night. She never lied to her baby brother, if there wasn't something he needed to know, she'll let him know it's not for you to know. She let him know about her missions and explained how the world really worked and how you had to protect yourself. She taught him how to fight, how to use his powers, and how to use a large variety of weapons. Keeping someone in the dark doesn't keep them safe; she learned that the hard way.

She slid her own sandwich back onto the platter she had on her bed, " So you want to come with me to the mall tomorrow?"

The young boy shook his head, biting into his sandwich, " Nah, I got friends meeting me at the arcade."

Kagome grinned, " You're a game junkie."

He laughed, " You're a control freak."

She rolled her eyes at the comment, " Butt head."

He glanced at her, " Monkey face."

" Dog breath."

" Turtle vomit."

" Cow turd."

" Deer poo."

She laughed, " Deer poo? what the hell is that?"

Souta shrugged, " I couldn't think of anything else." finishing off his sandwich. He then stood, " I need a drink, you want one?"

" Apple martini." He nodded, heading out the door, Souta was rather good at mixing his drinks, " Your limit is 2 tonight."

He rolled his eyes though she couldn't see it, she let him drink but always limited how much, " Yes mom."

She just shook her head with a grin as he left, " Spoiled ass." She mumbled, picking up her ringing cell phone, " Hernoshi."

It was her best friend, " Hey, we need you at the office, something's going down."

Kagome frowned, " How big? I got Souta now, I don't want to leave him alone."

There was a pause, " I don't think is highest priority, probably low-ish if anything. We can probably sort it out in like an hour or two."

She nodded as Souta came back with a martini glass in his hand, " Alright I'm on my way." She said, hanging up the phone and taking the glass and a sip, " You okay if I leave you for a few hours?"

Souta grinned, holding his own cup of Gin and tonic in his hand, " Can I invite some company over?"

Kagome laughed, his brother was a big hit with the ladies and unlike their parents, Kagome allowed him to indulge all he wanted in the opposite sex, " Sure but no one is to be wearing my shirts."

Souta laughed as well, " That was one time and I still don't know what happen to that girl clothes."

She shook her head and drained her cup, " Stay outta my room and remember I got camera's everywhere."

Souta smirked, taking the empty cup, " So no skinny dipping, got it."

Kagome laughed, rolling her eyes, " I'll be back as soon as I can." Grabbing her brother's neck and pulling him down to kiss his temple.

He just smiled at the innocent gesture, " Later." he watched her head to the front door before pulling out his cell phone. He dialed a number and pressed it to his ear, " Cece, sup girl, what you up to?"

Kagome rode her bike to the office, letting the wind take all her fears and stressful thoughts away from her. She loved being in the air and riding her bike in full throttle was almost like flying. She didn't say to Souta but what her mother said had indeed gotten to her. It wasn't the first time the woman went straight for the kill with her words but it still stung a small part of her heart.

She learned a long time ago how to control her emotions so she forced the feeling back. Save the pain for later, get done what needs to be done. She blinked, focusing, she had work to do; again she was happy she didn't live to far from her place of work. It took her about 8 minutes to get to the building, parking her bike in the garage she made a mental note to grab a tracker while she was upstairs to put on the vehicle she had a tendency to lose.

Walking in through the back entrance, she took the steps two at a time, wanting to get her heart rate up, it helped distract her from her mother's hurtful words. Reaching the seventh floor she walked the a different department to the elevators. You couldn't get to the tenth floor by stairs, the building was designed that way because of the weapon cache they had on their floor. There was a service entrance but that was for emergencies only. She glanced around the empty floor; this was where all the lab work and CSI stuff got done. It was empty now though, everyone was probably home relaxing after a long day she thought pressing the up button. The door dinged open and she stepped in rolling her shoulders, maybe she should hit the gym while she was here. She was a bit tense after what happened early and could really use a workout to help relax. Reaching her floor, she waited as the doors took their time to open, wondering for a moment what the lowish emergency could be, hoping it was not another worm problem.

The doors slid back and Kagome stepped forward, the lights suddenly flicked on, " SURPRISE!"

Blue eyes blinked as music began to play, the room was filled with decorations and liquor and women. Ayame walked over smiling, " You like it?"

Kagome blinked again then looked to her friend, " What's happening here?"

" Surprise bachelorette party."

Kagome frowned, " And you thought it was smart to invite all the bitches I fucked?"

Green eyes blinked, " What? No, I just sent a mass text to your entire contact list in your phone."

" The blue phone or the black phone?"

" The black one..." Ayame eyes went wide, realizing what she did, " Shit, did you really sleep with everyone in this room?"

Kagome glanced around as everyone went back to partying, " Yup." she then stepped forward as girls came over, grabbing her hands. She glanced at Ayame with a smirk as she let herself be pulled through the crowd of exes. Ayame laughed, shaking her head, her best friend was something else.

After leaving his father at the bar, Sesshomaru spent some time actually retrieving his wife's phone number and home address. It was odd it wasn't something they done yet but given the circumstance it's understandable. He sat in his car at a random parking lot tapping his fingers against his lap. After repeatedly calling her cell phone and getting no response, he was debating to call the house number he found.

He was hesitating only because it was late and it was rather rude to call at such an hour. He was wondering if he should simple go over to her home in the morning to check on her. Still his father was right, he really needed to make sure he didn't do anything as stupid as marking her. It made him a bit disturbed at how her aura affected him; never had he experienced something like that. He could barely control himself when it burst and the way she was acting was so demon it baffled him.

With a frown he pressed the call button, someone answered after the 3rd ring. " Yo."

Sesshomaru raised a brow at the male's voice, " Where is Kagome." he demand.

" Who's asking." the male demanded back.

Sesshomaru frowned, " The Lord of these lands."

There was a snicker on the other line, " Yeah right." then the line went dead.

Amber eyes blinked, looking to his phone, he just got hung up on, starting to get upset, he called the number back. The same male answered on the first ring, " Yo, I got three shorties tryna slob me down right now, stop playing on the phone."

Sesshomaru growled into the receiver, " Boy if you don't watch your tone when you're talking to the Lord of the West I will come to your location and melt the skin off your bones."

There was pause, " Oh shit, this really is Lord Sesshomaru?" he cleared his throat, " I'm sorry my lord, I really did think it was a prank call. Kagome is at her office right now, do you need the address?"

Sesshomaru frowned, this must be the young male of Atomi, " No, I know where she works." he said before hanging up.

Starting his car, he pulled out the parking lot he was in, he was about 10 to maybe 15 minutes from his destination. He drove at the speed limit for once, giving himself the extra time to calm down. He was ashamed to admit it, when he heard the male's voice answer Kagome's house phone he felt a spark of jealousy. He was sure it was because of the girl's aura, that's why he was reacting like this. He needed to learn more about this woman's powers and why they effected him so. Something was definitely off about the girl and he needed to know what it was. She had a secret, why else would she hide her powers the way she does. The way she pulled her aura in muted even her priestess scent; you would think she was just an ordinary woman.

She was definitely hiding something, he thought as he pulled into the garage of the RDSVU building. He parked his car next to the motorcycle of his wife and got out the vehicle. Walking over to the elevator he stepped inside and pressed 10. It was late so no stops were taken on the way up to the office of the miko. Which was a good thing, he really wasn't in a mood for small chat with other people right now. He wanted to be in and out, check her neck then get home to do some research. The elevator dinged as it reached the designated floor, the doors slid back and Sesshomaru blinked, an eye brow rising as he stepped forward.

The music was loud, the lights were flashing and everyone was drunk and having a good time. During the first 3 rounds of shots Kagome had lost her shirt, so she was now in her sports bra, her tattoo and abs out for all to see and touch. Her rubber band to her ponytail popped between her fourth or fifth dance so her long hair out and wind blown around her shoulders.

Right now she was happily taking a shot off one of the many pretty friends with benefits that wanted the gorgeous woman to lick them. The entourage of exes cheered her on, hoping one of them was next.

The girl on the table was giggling hysterically, trying to hold the lime in her mouth while Kagome sucked up the shot of rum on her belly, licked the trail of salt up her chest then bit the lime in her mouth.

Her giggles now unmuted as she happily smiled at her former lover, excited she was the one getting the special attention. Kagome just grinned, taking a sip of a chaser before blinking, she felt a sudden aura.

" Is that the dancer?"

Turning towards the pulsing, she blinked again, trying to focus the double vision, if it was Gruff they were going to be in so much trouble. Blinking again, her eyes went wide when she realized who it was, immediately she moved towards him. Girls were already reaching for their wallets to throw cash at the handsome demon.

Kagome put her hands up, " He's not a stripper!" she yelled, waving the drunk girls off. Taking his hand she pulled him towards her office. Getting inside she closed the door and turned to the demon lord, " What the hell are you doing here?"

Sesshomaru turned to her, crossing his arms, " I can ask you the same thing, you are at your place of work and it does not seem like you are working at all." He mumbled, eyes rolling over her half naked body.

Kagome ignored the staring, " It's a surprise bachelorette party." She said turning, trying to hook the chain lock on the door.

Sesshomaru raised a brow at the continued missing of the hook, he stepped forward, taking the chain from her fumbling hand and locked the door, " Are you intoxicated?"

Kagome giggled, turning to him as he backed up, " A little."

The demon lord frowned, " And what if you were to receive a job right now?"

Kagome just shrugged, " I don't stay drunk long." walking over to the coffee table and sat on the edge to tie her loose sneaker laces, " And I can burn off the effects whenever I want."

Sesshomaru watched her slid her hair over one shoulder before tying the lace, " With your powers?"

She sat up and sighed, leaning back on the wooden table, " Oh yeah, I can be sober in an instant."

" Then do it."

She let her head fall back, her hair pooling behind her like a waterfall, "For what, being drunk is soooo nice. It blurs the mind."

Sesshomaru watched her, she was doing it again, her subtle gestures again so Inu. The way she was arching her back, exposing her neck to him as if she was trying to seduce him. He frowned, crossing his arms, " Do you even know what you're doing?"

She blinked, looking at him, " What?"

He shook his head, " Never mind. Come here." He wanted to check her neck and get the hell out of here.

She frowned, " Hey, you're not gonna be telling me what to do. I don't care how hot you are, I'll punch you right in your sexy face."

His head tilted slightly to the left, " So you find me attractive."

She rolled her eyes, " Shut up, you know you're gorgeous but don't get a big head, you're not the first pretty boy I been with."

He just crossed his arms, " I know you're a virgin."

She frowned at being caught but just rolled her eyes, standing, " Okay fine maybe I never slept with a man before but don't think I'm some little girl." She pointed her hand towards the door, " Every chick at that party, I had sex with."

Amber eyes glanced to the door, there was about 25 females in the briefing room at least, he turned back to her, " Really?"

She nodded with a grin, " Yup. I'm not as naive as you think."

He just crossed his arms, " But you never been with a man."

She looked at him, something about his tone had changed, it was more of a statement than a question. He was looking at her, his heated gaze roaming over her in such stark possessiveness that Kagome wondered if he was going to devour her where she stood. " No." she mumbled, answering anyways.

He stepped closer; he was taller, way taller and more muscular than her. It was striking to see the differences between the two when they stood in front of each other. Like a large bulldog against a small feline. Kagome's sun kissed skin alongside Sesshomaru's ivory, ethereal flesh. Honey and milk, night and day, heaven and earth, they were opposites in everything. The only distinguishable similarity in appearance would be the hypnotizing stare. Dark sea blue eyes against sunset amber, smoldering, mesmerizing, it was a trait they shared.

" And you wouldn't know the ways of an Inu would you?" he asked, his deep voice carried on an invisible breeze, caressing her face.

She stared up at him, determined not to be intimidated by him. " I don't even know what that means." She whispered.

He stepped closer, " Come here."

She backed up, trying to keep space between them, " Don't tell me what to do."

" Kagome."

She blinked, his stare was penetrating, his smooth, deep voice demanding. His eyes were so alluring, holding a certain seriousness to them. Refusing to be denied, commanding obedience. A spell weaved around her, the noise faded unnoticed into the background before it disappeared altogether. Before she knew it she felt her legs move at there own will, stepping towards him. She wanted to stop but couldn't as if in a trance. She told herself she shouldn't go to him, that she was not one to follow the rules, yet she found herself standing in front of him.

He was so close. So close she could still smell the strange unknown cologne, the kind that made you breathe in deeply, familiar yet evading. He was close, so very close, making the tiny hairs on her neck rise upward in awareness.

" You will do as I say." His husky voice a whisper in her ear, a hand touching her back, pulling her closer, sending little flames dancing across her bare skin.

Kagome looked up at him, " Never." her voice just above a whisper, hoping he believed her. Hoping he didn't here the uncertainty in her voice.

He looked down at her, his golden amber eyes piercing through her; that was a pure Inu statement if he ever did hear one. The little space between them disappeared as Sesshomaru suddenly grabbed her, pinning her against the door. He wanted to test a theory, she felt Sesshomaru's aura expand around them.

A barrier pulsed around them, concealing them from the outside world, something she did subconsciously. He pushed his aura harder against her, coating her in layers of his power. It washed over her so suddenly, it made her shutter, she let out a shaky breath, closing her eyes. She pushed down her powers that begged to respond to the... to the what? He wasn't threatening her. He pushed harder; a shiver ran up her spine, it felt like his aura was seducing her. Her eyes filled with a green haze, immediately she was pounced on by a red eyed growling creature. It wrapped around her senses whispering for her to give in, to let herself go. She had to tell herself to breath, his aura was so heavy. Her skin was tingling, the hairs on the back of her neck standing on edge. She fought a whimper and the urge to submit.

He pushed harder, the powerful aura of the inu surrounded her like a cocoon, like invisible hands were stroking her sensitive skin, heating her from the inside out. Driving her higher and higher. The tingling of heat so intense it felt like it was caressing her, seducing her. Enticing her into a world of hazy fire. Her hand reached out and grasp the door knob to keep her balance, it felt like fire in her veins, her head fell back against the door, " Fuck." she moaned out, her breathing starting to labor, she couldn't help it, her powers flared.

Sesshomaru froze at the feeling of her powers washing over him. He took a deep breath of that luscious scent, he growled, deep in his throat, she wasn't the least bit afraid, instead more of her aura soothe over him, almost coaxing him forward. Like the steam from a pie on a window sill, the playful finger goading him to come closer. He stepped forward, he couldn't resist, her power was so strong, her scent so delicious. He grabbed her arms, crushing her to him, tasting her lips, devouring her mouth. This taste, this sweet, sweet taste, so addicting, like a drug, a poison, a tonic.

She kissed him back with all she was worth, she liked the dominance in his aura. The way he held her off the ground. She wanted to hold him but her arms were firmly held at her sides, so she dangled there. He licked her bottom lip before his tongue sweep in her mouth. Tasting her sweet ripe flavor. A taste so close to chilled strawberries. One he thought he could never get tired of. The heat around them multiplying with their power. She didn't even try to fight it, the heat that came from him pulsed around her.

He suddenly let her fall to the floor, taking a few steps back, " Pull it back."

She just nodded, trying to catch her breath, her eyes closed tight, doing what he asked. He felt her aura being drawn back in, it made him shake his head, " Why are you so powerful?"

Kagome just leaned her head back onto the door, trying to slow her rapid heartbeat, " I was born this way." she mumbled.

He watched her run a shaking hand through her bangs, " How are you able to hide it so well? Why do you hide it at all?"

She sighed, finally opening her eyes, looking over to the demon lord, " Power attracts power. Wars are fought over power, people are killed to gain power, cults obsess over power. People are targeted for their power, I don't want to fight the world."

Sesshomaru leaned against her desk, what she said was interesting. Usually anyone with power wants to rule but it seems like this little miko wanted to stay in the shadows. Why? The most common reason someone doesn't want attention is out of fear, but what would she be scared of if she showed the world her power?

" You can not fully control it can you?"

Kagome frowned, he was much like Gruff when it came to deciphering what she really meant, " I do have control, its just…" She shook her head, " Forget it, its nothing, I just want to be left alone you know."

Sesshomaru crossed his arms, " No, I don't know, I have been the center of attention since I was born."

Kagome smiled with a roll of her eyes, " I almost forgot who I was talking to for a moment." she crossed her arms, feeling soberness sinking into her brain, " Okay so, it's pretty late, what are you doing here, is there something you needed help with?"

Sesshomaru stayed leaning against the desk, " Would you believe me if I said I was doing research."

Kagome made a thoughtful face, then nodded, " Keep kissing me like that and I'll believe anything you want."

His smirk was subtle, " Come here."

She didn't argue this time as she walked over to him, standing in front of his tall lean form. Amber orbs looked to her, their eyes caught and held, as if magnetized together. Molted amber against Sea blue, smoldering, mesmerizing. She couldn't seem to move, her eyes, her limbs, not even her tongue would obey her. His eyes held something that held her motionless, they called to her, they seemed to see into her. She felt drawn closer, and still irresistibly closer.

She felt, but never registered, when he shifted, his arms uncrossing and a hand skimmed her cheek. " Why is there a patch on your neck?" His voice low and husky.

She licked suddenly dry lips, her voice a soft whisper, " When you bit me, it hasn't healed yet."

" Does it hurt?"

She leaned into the warmth of his hand, " No."

He stared at her, she was doing it yet again! Rubbing her face against his palm was so inu. He was positive she had no clue she was doing it he thought, sliding his hand into the silk strands of ebony, pulling on the back of her head till her lips touched his.

He tasted her bottom lip with his tongue, she sighed from the pleasure it caused. When her mouth opened his tongue swept in. Kagome moaned as she felt his tongue stroke hers. She was drowning, her soul surged as his lips moved over hers. She felt sparks ignite and burst into flames threatening to consume her at any minute. She moved closer, a hand touching the smooth skin of his cheek, needing to taste more.

She felt his hand slide down her cheek over her bare collarbone. His hand so smooth, warm against her skin. She pressed herself closer, wanting to be closer, this was not good enough. He stood up straight as his hands ran down to grasp her thighs and easily lifted her to him. His tongue doing its own tasting, her lips, her mouth, swallowing her moans, kissing her with heated aggression, his tongue battling with hers. Her heart was slamming against her chest, her legs wrapping around his slim waist. Sesshomaru growled lowly into her mouth loving her taste of delicious ripe strawberries.

She kissed him back with all she had, she felt the fire burning inside her. Then there was a sudden knock on the door, " Yo Kags, I'm sending these horny bitches home before an orgy breaks out in the briefing room, you good?"

Kagome pulled away from the deliciousness that was Sesshomaru's mouth, " Yeah T, thanks."

They both heard footsteps head away from the door, carefully Sesshomaru set Kagome back down, she stared at him. She didn't understand why the inu's aura did what it did to her but they barely knew each other, this wasn't appropriate behavior. But they were married, wasn't it a good thing they were attracted to each other? It was confusing, she just met the man and here they were making out every time they were alone. It felt so right and yet so wrong at the same time.

Sesshomaru stared at her, his mind thinking on the same path as the miko's, something strange was happening here, " I should go."

She nodded, blinking out of her trance, " Um, yeah, yeah your right, it's late." watching as he nodded and walked passed her, heading for the door.

She pivoted towards him, " Maybe we can do dinner tonight?"

He paused turning to her with a raised brow, the question clearly in the air, she shook her head, " We can talk about arrangements and stuff." Her eyes shyly avoided his, " I'm a good cook according to my brother." she mumbled.

His smirk was subtle though she didn't see it since she was staring at an invisible rock on the ground. " I'll be at your home by 7."

She looked up with a smile but he was already walking out the door. She let out the breath she didn't know she was holding and sighed loudly, " This is all too weird." she said, a hand reaching up and scratching at the patch on her neck. She had better help Ayame clean up and head home, no telling how much a mess Souta made while she was gone. The boy can get cabin fever in the matter of minutes.

tell me what you think!
