Last Chapter: "His screamed stopped, as he gasped, the sound of blood dripping on the ground echoed through the forest, his body thudded on the cold hard ground. Kagome turned to see Inuyasha lying motionless on the ground. She cried and looked as Sesshoumaru's hand, covered in blood, she looked at him in terror as he turned to her, and wrapped his arms around her waist before saying cooly into her ear, "You will be mine...""
She gasped, and froze, she looked into his pure golden orbs, and saw emotion in them. She screamed as he swept her off of the ground and bolted towards his palace once more. She was scared, what was he going to do? Is he toying with her emotions? How could the coldest demon she's ever known want anything to do with her? It was all a game to him, he was taunting her... She began to cry.
"Silence wench!" he shouted before throwing her to the ground of his bedroom floor. "You cry too much, it hurts my ears.. A maid will be around with your clothing, you will bathe, and get dressed. You're testing my paitence..." he said coldly before exiting the room. He said it as if the little episode with Inuyasha never happened, she sat there and cried a little more. She never has felt so helpless in her entire life.
"Ughh.." a long pained moan errupted from the beat-up hanyou's throat. He sat up holding his chest, the burning pain of the poison left in his body was intense, but this stubborn hanyou would never admit pain. "Kagome.." he mustered the words of his love, he failed her. What hurt even worse was that he let him take her away again, he didn't care that Kagome was leaving, he promised that he'd never let her get hurt, and his word failed.
"Inuyasha!" a shrill voice managed to reach his ears, "Inuyasha! You're awake!" The small little kitsune cub bounced onto Inuyasha's lap, only to be greeted with Inuyasha's fist slamming into his small skull. The kitsune cried as a large lump formed, "I healed your wounds and you still pick on me!" He retreated behind the approaching monk as Inuyasha's eyes slowly opened.
"Huh!" he gasped and looked around, "The well? But I was..." he was cut off as Miroku cut-in "You were brought back here by Sesshoumaru's gaurds, I'm sure it is part of his plan." Miroku rubbed his chin in thought before speaking again, "Get up, let's take you to Kaede. We need to out-smart Sesshoumaru before we can even think of attacking him."
A long sigh escaped from her lips, she traced her fingers over them once more. She liked the kiss, it held a lot more passion than any of Inuyasha's, but she was terrified of him. She is terrified of being toyed with, having her emotions being a simple little taunt for him, she was terrified that she went against everything that she preached to Inuyasha, how you're suposed to keep your sight on one and only one. It was a sin, to be so attracted to someone and not yet leave one whom is so infatuated with you. At least that was her opinion, she sunk low into the warm waters of the soaking tub.
"Kagome.." a soft voice echoed through her ears, interupting her train of thought. She sat up and covered herself looking around before a sigh of relief escaped through her lips, it was Ami, the obviously preganat lady waddled into the room setting cross-legged next to Kagome. "It's good to see you're not trying to drown yourself. You're pretty lucky that Lord Sesshoumaru has a painful desire deep with-in him, or you'd be dead by now."
"I know.. that's what I'm scared of... What if he's just waiting until I get comfortable again, and then he kills me?" Kagome questioned, her brown eyes carrying hurt and worry. How did she let herself fall for the youkai prince? He was always so cold and bitter, she could never picture herself next to a cold-hearted creature. "Lord Sesshoumaru doesn't beat around the bush, he's blunt and to-the-point when it comes to things like those. So if he wanted you dead, you would of been dead. Plain and simple." Kagome nodded in a simple understanding, she stood from the water grabbing a robe and making herself decent before helping the preganat maid off of the floor.
As she dressed Ami spoke, "Lord Sesshoumaru agreed that I could birth his child through his palace. And once it was birthed I could take time away until the child was raised to the age of four, then he would summon me back for work." She held her stomach before saying, "Who knows, maybe Lord Sesshoumaru will be king with a certain queen by his side..." she chuckled as Kagome's cheeks turned a bright red, as she dodged the robe thrown at her.
He watched her from his balcony, he watched her in every graceful step she took, he watched her look at her reflection in the crystal clear waters of the man-made pond in his court-yard, and he watched her catch the falling cherry blossoms. She was flawed, a very flawed human, she had done things and seen things, that most human girls her age would never experiance in their life-time. She was the epitone of innocence, but the poster-child of sin, if it made any sort of sense. Blood has crossed her hands, for desire, and lust has filled her thoughts. Still, she was so very un-experianced, and very innocent, that's what made her even more desirable.
"Kagome.." he whispered to himself, his golden eyes intensely watched her every move, he was in pure bliss even when she wasn't near him. "Is this what fear is like.." he pondered, he wanted her to stop being afraid, and to allow herself to fullfil the desire she has to be his, but he wouldn't allow himself to seem weak. Weak-ness is what makes great men fall after all.
He sunk back into the shadows of his corridors, he had to do it. It was certain.
She shuddered as a cool breeze rolled across the court-yard. She has been captive for awhile, it was already fall. She didn't like fall at all, everything started dying, the trees, the grass, the flowers, everything seems so lifeless. Though the promise of re-birth was there in the spring, it was still a depressing thing. The winter was okay, the pure white layer of snow that would cascade itself over the feduel era, was much different than normal Tokyo. The sun was setting and she laid back her school uniform didn't do her much justice to the cool night, but she needed to be outside, and feel the least be liberated.
Before he knew it, he was at her side, but she layed motionless, her silky black hair blew in the evening breeze as her chest rose and fall in a content pattern, she was asleep. He bent down with the slightest bit of grace and lifted her up, before striding off to his quaters. He passed the maids and servants without a single word, but not before managing to kick the annoying toad-demon Jaken down the stairs, who was pestering him lately about Kagome's presence.
He reached his quaters and opened the door ever-so quietly before shutting it just as delicately. He laid Kagome down on his silk blood red sheets and smirked as she made herself comfortable. He stripped down into a thin silk white-coloured bottom, revealing his muscular, but not too muscular chest. She shifted and stirred a little, but he still postitioned himself to lay near her. He inhaled the smells of her, that he had become addicted too, she had a distinct smell of fresh-cut flowers and cherries. He always became intoxicated in her scent, he nuzzled his nose to her silky hair, and traced his fingertips up her smooth bare skin. This was a moment he would entrap himself in forever.
She woke up startled by the touch on her arm, she gasped when she saw him laying next to her, not knowing what to say, or do, she stood up just to be greeted with his hand around her wrist and him sitting up swiftly in one movement and pulling her into his lap, his soft golden eyes turned hard in an instant as he said, "I need to let you know something..." he paused when she looked at him, "You are mine. End of story."
"But..." before she could muster another word, she was graced with another blissful kiss from Sesshoumaru, this time, she allowed it, and kissed him back, she melted into him as she dreamily pulled back to look into his orbs. This was the love she desired.
