Moonlit Future

The air around me seems stale. A heavy atmosphere as if I am breathing static itself.

I cannot breath.

I cannot move.

My heart can't stop pounding.

Danger.

My mind kept telling me. This man, this creature in front of me is a predator. A perfect golden eyed predator.

And yet my eyes can't help but take all of him.

The forest became silent. The rustling of the leaves became nonexistent. Kikyo lay unconscious on the forest floor near a tree where she was slammed by the force of a youki. The village men were silent paralyzed with fear while some took arms and shakily stood their ground. The sweating of their fore heads was present on every individual. Their eyes kept glancing at the woman on the floor and the one with unusual garb. They wanted to run but their limbs cannot move from their place. They wanted to shout but their voices cannot come out.

All of us will die…by the hands of this beautiful monster.

They had concluded their fate when a voice broke their thoughts.

"Move all of you. Take Kikyo back to your village." Kagome commanded them sternly.

"But..---"the man began.

"Now!! And don't look back." Kagome interjected.

The village men took Kikyo in their arms and quickly fled towards their village. They took one last look at the woman who saved them and prayed to gods above that she will remain safe.

He closely watched the woman in front of him. Taking in every curve, every movement that she makes. She is exquisitely beautiful with her long midnight black tresses that gently swayed with the wind, Piercing blue eyes deeper in color as the ocean, and her smell was very unusual for her kind…the scent of night blooming jasmine and sakura blossoms. She was all in all easy on the eyes but she was human. A dirty, weak primitive human…and yet this being is obviously a creature of power if she can conceal her presence like she is doing now.

He observed how she commanded the village men and calmly stood her ground while her eyes never left his person. He was amused and annoyed that this human would dare look at his person without even flinching in fear or submit to his presence. He is Sesshoumaru heir to the Western Lands where his mighty and terrible father reigns supreme. He is superior to her in every way yet she dares to look at his person without fear or respect!!

"Human wench…do you not know your place? Or are you simply stupid like the rest of your kind? Bow down to this Sesshoumaru and I will spare you." He said while coldly looking at the woman.

Kagome's right brow slightly rose while her eyes squinted with annoyance "wench?! I do have a name Youkai and the last time I checked I was never called wench."

Sesshoumaru felt his anger rising as this woman rudely addressed him "Wench if you know what's good for you address this Sesshoumaru properly lest you find your head no longer attached to your shoulder." He said while flexing his claws dangerously by his sides.

"My name is not wench Youkai! It's Kagome and if you cannot address me with respect you'll know exactly how it feels to be purified." Kagome bit back.

Upon hearing those words from the woman Sesshoumaru quickly moved with lightning speed and grabbed kagome by the neck pinning her hard by the tree. "Respect is something you will give to me wench! Whether by force or by your death!" he coldly said.

Sesshoumaru expected the woman to tremble before him of fear but he was surprised when she just calmly stared at him with her eyes without any hint of fear while he held her neck in his hands. She annoys him. This insolent wench does not fear him and yet he is amused by her lack of it. She is a puzzle, an enigma, and he will break her.

Kagome was stuck between the tree and this creature who calls himself Sesshoumaru when she felt his claws tighten even more around her. She will never submit and be killed by this…this man!

Without breaking contact with the youkai's eyes she placed a hand on his wrist and called forth a little of her purifying power. Sesshoumaru loosened his hand a bit on her neck when he felt her purifying power touch his skin. He did not let go f her completely but that was enough for Kagome to break herself loose.

Kagome tightened her grip on his wrist and brought her lower body upward delivering a kick on Sesshoumaru's left side of which he successful y blocked with his right arm. Kagome broke free and bounded to the sides while her eyes remained on Sesshoumaru's form.

Sesshoumaru slowly turned towards the woman who easily broke free from his hold. He watched as she stood under the sky while her black garments gently moved when the wind blows at her direction. Her eyes remained trained on his person.

The two of them remained unmoving while they both regarded each other with wariness. The air around them became thicker as their powers began to rise. Kagome's icy blue aura and Sesshoumaru's golden aura began to touch each other. While standing on the on both ends of the field the two beings of supreme power did not notice that instead of their aura clashing at their contact it gently wrapped at the other weaving and touching to caress.

After a few moments of unnerving silence between them, Sesshoumaru broke the silence by quickly moving closer towards Kagome and swiped her with his poison whip. Kagome anticipated his move and quickly erected a barrier encasing her before the whip made contact with her skin.

While being inside her barrier Kagome moved sideways and sent a purifying orb towards her opponent; without being fazed by the counter attack he calmly deflected the ball of energy to the side by swiping his hands against it. Sending it towards an unsuspecting tree; He observed the scorch marks on the tree's trunk and dangerously squinted his eyes towards the woman who caused it.

'She obviously has power and judging by her movements…she also had enough training.' He silently thought.

He used his demon speed to move closer to her and delivered a strong sideways kick which she easily blocked with her right arm. He moved with demon speed to attack the wench and yet she is able to follow his every move and block every blow he gave. He was beginning to think that perhaps this wench is not human but something else.

Her scent in itself is not a scent that most humans would have; humans smelled of earth, sweat and urine. They are dirty creatures who stink of dirt and yet this human smells of flowers and nature. She is a creature with a human form yet her smell and power does not describe that of a human. She has purifying power but it is obvious that she is not using all of her strength.

The knowledge that this woman is not fighting with her real strength against him brought indescribable anger inside of him and also something else; something deeper and more primitive.

Does she think him weak?! How dare she?!

Sesshoumaru's eyes slowly started bleeding red while he parried blows against the insufferable onna who dared think low of him. This woman will bow down and submit to him. He will not take her life; he will have her submit to him. His beast purred inside of him imagining the taste of this onna's warm blood against his lips while her luscious form writhed in pleasure underneath him.

Yes…he desires her.

Her power.

Her strength.

He will have all of her.

Kagome noticed the change on the youkai's power when she traded blows with him; she noticed how his eyes started bleeding red and subconsciously reacted to the danger she felt from him. She moved backwards away from the danger that he presented. She stood far from him and silently observed that the Youkai stood silently opposite her while its blood red eyes stayed unmoving on her form. What she saw in his eyes brought a shudder to her form.

Lust.

Blood red crimson eyes and icy blue gaze locked at each other. They were both unmoving until icy blue lost sight of the other. Kagome didn't notice Sesshoumaru move from his place in time and when she did he was already behind her swiping his claws on her back which she blocked with a barrier she erected on time. But the force of him against her barrier sent her flying to the ground.

Sesshoumaru noticed the woman lying on her back so he quickly moved and attacked her. She gave him a kick with her right leg which he grabbed by his left hand while he placed his left knee in between her thighs. She was about to give him a fist when he used his hands to pin her arms on the sides of her head.

Kagome looked at him in annoyance when she noticed that he had her trapped underneath him. She can't move her body against the steely hold of her captor. She locked her eyes against his crimson one's and inwardly shuddered.

'Will this be the end of me?' she thought

She thought her death will inevitably come and closed her eyes shut. She expected pain to come but what she received wasn't something she most expected.

Kagome felt lips against her own and instantly opened her eyes. He is kissing her! How dare this arrogant jerk steal her first kiss!!

She felt annoyed and angry for the kiss. She struggled with all her might against him while her hands were firmly kept locked on her sides. She struggled underneath him unbeknownst to her that she is arousing him even more.

Sesshoumaru tasted her while he gently nipped and playfully bit her lips. When she felt a soft bite on her lower lip Kagome opened her mouth in surprise. He used this moment and shoved his tongue inside of her mouth tasting every corner of her.

She can't believe it! This brute is kissing her this way! She struggled against his hold when she felt his hands loose on her wrist. She placed both her hands on his chest and pushed but it was like pushing an immoveable rock. She felt his tongue move inside her mouth and she felt liked it…

She felt the strength and power that he emits and yet his kiss is very gentle. Kagome began to unconsciously respond to him. The hands that she used to struggle against him moved to tangle on his long silver hair drawing him closer to her. The legs that were pinned on the ground by him were now tightly wrapped on his hips. She felt his hands on her scalp gently scratching and pulling on her hair. Their touches became needy and their kisses became passionate. His kiss traveled from her mouth, to her cheeks, to her eyes, her ears and then an open trail of wet kisses to her neck. His left hand was on her sides touching and kneading her while his left hand was on her thigh.

When Kagome noticed his hand moving upwards on her thigh she awakened from her dream and placed both her hands on his chest while she used her power to push him.

Sesshoumaru stopped with his actions when he felt a jolt of power on his chest; he glanced down and saw the woman underneath him with startling blue eyes fill with surprise. He was about to restrain her once more when he felt her power push him farther from her.

Kagome stood slowly stood on shaky knees and decided that it was best to escape. She was about to use her power to teleport when she felt an arm restrain her body. She turned towards her captor and his golden eyes were the last thing she saw before she lost her consciousness.
