Last Chapter: ""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."
She yawned, and turned over, rubbing the crusty flakes of sleep from her eyes, she looked around to notice she wasn't in her room. She blushed as soon as she remembered last night. She traced her fingers over the pale-white skin of Sesshoumaru's arm, and laid there thinking. She thought about how she was going to tell Inuyasha, she feared at what he might do. She felt the arm around her waist tighten, as Sesshoumaru whispered, "Ohayo..." softly into her ear.
"Ohayo.." Kagome sat up and yawned again, stretching a little to wear the groggy-ness away. She watched as he stood up, even from just waking he had more grace than she'd ever accomplish. She was shook from her daydreaming when her clothes were thrown at her as Sesshoumaru dressed. "Bathe..." was all he said before exiting the room. She giggled and remembered Ami telling her about how blunt he was, she got a dose of it last night.
He walked down the hall only to get harassed by one of his nurses, his annoyed growl only made her flail her arms around and yell louder. "I've been with your family since you were a pup! The least you could do is show some respect! A lot of your warrior gaurds have been injured by a pack of wolves, most of them are too groggy to describe their attackers fully, but most of them agree they were wolves..." she trailed off as Sesshoumaru walked off.
He remembered the wolves from the ball, he needed to ask Kagome her relation to this male whom keeps stalking them. He figured it'd be best to get this little pest away, it was becoming an annoyance that he had to replace demon gaurds. He opened the door to the bath house and his ears twitched, he heard light sniffles, and soft sobs coming from the hot tub. Was she in pain?
He stood behind Kagome and said, "Crying again... is that all you can ever manage to do?" His cold-hearted eyes were in place, he couldn't let his true feelings show around anyone. His father fell because of a human, he couldn't suffer the same fate, his pride was too great.
"I just... miss my family that's all..." Kagome covered her nude body, she looked up at Sesshoumaru's cold golden orbs with her tear-filled brown ones, her hair was wet and messy, and her face held a sorrow and lonliness. She rubbed her eyes as Sesshoumaru snorted, "You travel with my brother, one of the most ignorant, foolish, pathetic excuses for a even half-of-demon. Now you cry over your family?" his cold words sunk hard into Kagome's heart.
"You... How could you be so cruel!" she answered her own question in her mind 'Well duh, it's Sesshoumaru...'; "I haven't seen my family in... months! It's been seven or eight months since you've captured me! I haven't gone that long without seeing them! They probably presume I'm dead!" Kagome burst into more tears grabbing the robe next to the bathing tub wrapping it around her and leaping out. "You're just like Inuyasha... insensitive.." she immetiatly regreted uttering those words.
He rushed in on her, his hand tightly around her throat as he snarled, "Do not compare me to my brother..." his claws dug into her skin ever so lightly, causing a few small punctures to form, tiny balls of blood appeared as she winced. For some reason, she did not show as much pain as he figured she would, only sorrow and fear. "Or what? You'll compare me to someone? Like Kikyou or other human girls?" she squirmed underneathe his hardened glare. She was far too depressed to give a damn about what he was going to do.
"No.. because there is no one whom will be able to compare with you..." he said as his eyes softened. She had more guts than anyone he'd ever met, now it was easier for him to see, why the great Lord Sesshoumaru, has fallen. It has brought him closer to realization, why his father must of fell for that human that bared his half-brother. He wrapped an arm around her waist as a tinge of blush formed on her cheeks.
This time, she responded with her arms slinking around his neck, as his tongue met with a spot on her neck where he dug his claws, he licked the tiny bubble of blood away and moved away from her. She wiped her hand across her neck smearing the blood away before she sunk behind the changing curtain, changing into the attire she usually wore.
Swear words sputtered from the wolf-demons mouth, where was his Kagome. He could smell her she was close, but the smell of many other demons have masked over it. Not to mention the dense scent of blood, all the gaurds he and his wolves have killed, refused to reveal the true where-abouts of this Sesshoumaru guy. The rumours he heard, were begining to disgust him. They said that the reincarnation of Kikyou, Kagome, has fallen for the demon prince, Sesshoumaru, and that the very same feelings she felt were returned. His Kagome would never do that.
He bursted off into another direction, 'Just keep following the gaurds', he thought. He once again, left his pack behind, in ignorance that Sesshoumaru was indeed hunting for him.
"Y...you're not going to kill Kouga are you!" Kagome asked in worry, even though he could get annoying, she didn't want someone she cared about to be hurt. It pained her to watch Inuyasha fall to the claws of Sesshoumaru, she kept wondering if he was dead, or alive. "Maybe I'll just tell him, that I..I'm with y..you now and then it'll bring him to a realization... then he'll leave you be." she suggested watch Sesshoumaru's intense eyes glare out the window.
"Very well then..." he paused for a moment, "That is what we will do.', He turned to face her and said, "I know his wearabouts, he is about 250 yards from here, he will not get to my palace... So let us be off.", he strided past Kagome, gripping her wrist and almost dragging her across the floor. Kagome nervously laughed, even though he had admitted his feelings, he's still hard as ever.
He gripped her by her waist and leaped up into the air, her screams made him snarl as his little cloud appeared beneathe them. He monitored Kouga, as he frantically sniffed, he knew he caught a wiff of him and Kagome, he chuckled at the foolish wolf. His arm tightening around Kagome's waist as he leaped off of his cloud and landed behind the wolf. He shoved Kagome's seemingly petrified form away from him as he ducked underneathe the wolf's leg.
"Kouga! Stop!" Kagome shouted, her eye brows bunched together as she looked at him with disapointment, "Kouga, please understand... I... I...I'm with Sesshoumaru now, I'm not yours, and I never was... we're just friends okay? You can't keep attacking his gaurds and you can't keep this all up.. I'm sorry Kouga..." She watched as Kouga's bright blue eyes became foggy as he shook his head. She felt Sesshoumaru grip her by her waist and leap off once more.
He stood there in shear disbelief, how could Kagome to that? After all, she may of been mutt-faces, but apart of him liked to think that she wanted to be with him instead of dog-turd. Now she's with his brother, he bowed his head slightly in-shame, and sped off, if those were her desires, he'd fullfill them. He raced off past his pack once more, he was going to tell Inuyasha what was said tonight.
"No..." were the only words Inuyasha was able to muster, the wolf he despised stood before him telling him the words he feared most. He wouldn't believe it, his Kagome would never be dis-loyal, this was a trick, he was sure of it. "Dumb asshole! Kagome wouldn't do that to me! You're a lair!" Inuyasha stormed off once more. He was going to find Sesshoumaru, kill him, then claim Kagome for good.
"Inuyasha! Please don't go get hurt anymore than you already are. Maybe if you weren't so mean to Kagome, then maybe you wouldn't have this doubt in your mind weather she's still yours or not!" Shippou exclaimed bouncing along the hanyou. The only response the little kitsune cub got was Inuyasha's fist slamming across his fragile skull. He plopped on the ground and started crying, he couldn't stand the abuse much longer, Kagome isn't around to help anymore.
He flung her onto his bed, his eyes were intent on one place of her body, her neck. He heard her gasp loudly as he crawled onto the large matress with her, he pinned her hands above her head, and placed his lips on Kagome's neck. "S..ses.. Sesshoumaru!" She was nervous, she didn't know what he was doing, he looked into her eyes and saw the swell of emotion, his eyes just brought comfort to her, because they held a promise he'd never hurt her. His mouth opened and his canine-like fangs were showen, before his sharp teeth met with the soft tender area of her skin. The little pressure he applied punctured the skin, and blood flowed past his lips onto his tongue. He felt her stiffen in a slight pain, then relax as he traced his tongue across the bite mark, the soothing feeling made her melt into his arms. It was offical, no matter where she went, she would always be known as his.
Her eyes fluttered shut, the burning on her neck dissolved as she snuggled into the one person she had become to love. He was powerful, but she didn't care at the moment that he could kill her in an instant, the look in his eyes was sincer, and she had never gotten that kind of look from Inuyasha. She didn't know much about the bitting ritual, only that different demons had different was of claiming mates. She figured that's what the bite was for, she was content with that, it was like a perfect love story.
They fell asleep together once more, her head on his chest with his arms wrapped tight around her. The word got leaked, the great Lord Sesshoumaru, has fallen and his weaknesses are being exposed. He will suffer the same fate his father did.
