Birth Rite ch9 The Dance
He smiled again when Kagome took a swift glance over her shoulder, her body relaxing against his once she'd realized who she had backed in to.
She moved against him, her body sliding against his in a most erotic fashion, her hips moving in time to the electric guitar's notes; its melody-hypnotic. He knew the instant her head fell back against his shoulder, the moment her arm raised and he felt her hand curling around his neck; her fingers burying themselves into the length of his unbound hair, and in the way that his body hardened beneath the sway of her hips, her perfect backside rubbing against the hard length of his response . It was about to get very, very HOT in here...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Guitar notes drifted around them; Inyasha's body responded to her movements out of instinct alone. He forgot to breathe. Kagome danced against him, her body creating a friction that sizzled throughout every place she touched. Lyrics swam through his mind trying to find their escape past the sensuous lips of their owner. His clawed finger trailed ever so slowly down the length of her spine; he reveled in the way her body arched away from him, the swell of her breasts trapped beneath the shimmering silver corset dragging his focus from the skin of her back , and it was all he could do to force the words of the song through the dryness of his mouth.
"Hello, I'm your martyr, will you be my gangster?
Can you feel my trigger hand,
moving further down your back?
Inuyasha's other hand moved to rest upon her ribcage, his thumb resting just beneath her breast. The sway of her hips, the way her lips parted, her breath coming in uneasy pants before her tongue darted out to wet the dryness of her bottom lip had his body tightening even more, his flesh heating to an unnatural temperature. Did she know how exotic she looked, how each movement of her body set him afire? Would she run from him if she knew of his naughty reactions as she danced against him..? Yet, somehow he knew she wouldn't. He could feel her body's reaction to him; the way she shuttered beneath the touch of his claw, the way she unconsciously pushed closer to his hand when he'd moved it to rest upon the erratic beat of her heart.
"When you hide-
hide inside that body,
but just remember that
when I touch you-
the more you shake;
the more you give away...
He had to look away. He didn't WANT to, but he had to; he wanted her so very badly..
He saw the band on the stage watching in astonishment what was taking place upon the dance floor. Their singer was readying himself for back vocals...
Cold,
but I'm still here
Blind,
'cause I'm so blind,
say never..
We're far from comfortable this time.
He could feel her fingers at the base of his skull, the way they tightened against his hair to keep him from moving away from her as they moved together, her head still resting within the hollow of his shoulder. He shivered in response, her body sliding against his own when he'd moved his hand from her back only to place it at the curve of her hip. He could feel the eyes of the other dancers watching in awe; the beauty in his embrace oblivious to their stares. Her eyes were still closed, her face mirroring complete euphoria; he could only imagine that she might one day wear that same look if he were to make her his own; but she wasn't his.
Cold,
Now we're so cold
Mine,
and you're not mine,
say never
We're far from obvious this time
Sliding his hand over her body he took in her gasp of pleasure when his fingers slid invitingly up her chest, his clawed finger trailing the valley between her breasts before his hand came to rest upon her neck; it's hold whisper soft. He watched in silent admiration her eyes, dark and glistening with lust as they looked back at him, her head turned so that his racing heartbeat could echo within her ear.
Wait,
Another minute here-
Time will kill us after all
now can you feel it's second hand-
wrapped around your neck?
So fall into my eyes and fall into my lies
But don't you forget
The more you turn away-
The more I want you to STAY!
Oh, how he meant those words, loved the reaction he could see waiting there in her eyes. Her arousal hit him then, so full of want, of silent desire. She would be his, there was no denying it. No other man- or beast would touch what was his, what he was making known before those who watched their erotic display. She wanted him, as much as he wanted her. It was there within her heated gaze, there for him alone to see; she wasn't hiding it from him. She wasn't ashamed at her desire to be in his embrace, nor was she holding back her emotions when she turned in his arms, her body pressing uninhibited into his own. His sharp intake of breath was heard through the microphone, the dancers around them snickering as his eyes closed against the urgency she created within him..
Cold,
but I'm still here.
Blind,
cause I'm so blind,
say never,
and we're far from comfortable this time.
Cold,
now we're so cold.
Mine,
and you're not mine,
say never..
we're far from obvious this time.
The guitarist took his lead then, and Inuyasha took that moment to pull her closer still, his head burying itself into the curve of her neck, his fangs searing its base even as his ears took in her moan of pleasure, their bodies rocking together as she straddled his thigh, her head falling back, hair falling in a waterfall of inky blackness until the ends nearly touched the floor they danced upon.
Moving away from her, his hand grazed her cheek pulling her attention to once again focus upon him; his words meant for her alone...
You're so endearing,
you're so-
Beautiful,
Well, I don't look like they do,
and I don't love like they do,
but I don't hate like they do.
Am I ever on your mind?
She knew what he meant in those words; knew that he was speaking of his being different. He was a demon, he didn't look like the humans when he took his true form. And she knew what he meant that he wouldn't love like they do. He'd love her completely, totally; accepting her differences as she'd accepted his; not hating her because she too, was different.
She watched, his voice stirring her body almost as much as his touch had. Never had someone's touch moved her so completely, or left her wanting something she couldn't name. He was who she'd been searching for. He was the one soul who had always accepted her- loved her; she'd just never taken the time to see it. She had always thought their bickering was a sign that they weren't meant to be together, but now she saw it as passion. They fought heatedly, competed intensely - would they love as fiercely? Would being his be as passionate as their dancing had become?
Cold,
but I'm still here.
Blind,
' cause I'm so blind,
say never,
We're far from comfortable this time
Cold,
now we're so cold
Mine,
and you're not mine,
say never
We're far from obvious this time
Yes- he was everything she had ever wanted. It was he that she craved when she'd left home for school; his voice she wanted to hear when she woke from her nightmares, and his face she wanted to wake to every morning for the rest of her life...she'd just been to blind to see it.
Leaning forward she smiled when his eyes widened, her cheek brushing past the underside of his jaw. He could see the white scars that highlighted her golden skin, and he could see the marks he'd left behind only moments ago when he'd grazed her shoulder with his fangs- reddened welts upon the tender skin of her neck. He hadn't realized that he'd done it, but it was there for all to see, though thankfully only those of his bloodline would know just what that mark meant; the human population would think them to be merely hickies left behind by an adamant lover..
She was his, dear god, she was his!
COLD!,
you broke me from the very first night
I'd love you till the day that I die
I'm far too comfortable this time...
He felt her stiffen slightly within his embrace, her body pulling away so that she could gaze adoringly into his eyes. Had she heard him correctly?
He smiled then, his fangs glistening only for her to see and he nodded, pleased when her eyes misted over, a smile gracing those perfect lips...
Cold!
I loved you from the very first night
you broke me till the day that I die
I'm far too obvious this time...
Raising her hand she moved the microphone away from his mouth, only to replace it with her own, her lips moving across his in a lover's caress. Closing his eyes he tasted her, his tongue sliding sensuously across her lower lip before sweeping in upon her gasp of pleasure. But nothing could prepare him for the taste that met him. She was sweet, in so many ways he couldn't think straight, but one thing stood out above all the others. Innocence. She tasted so damn innocent. His demon howled within him, demanding release to claim the mate who'd been denied to him for so long.
Small fingers plowed into silver silk; her body molding along the front of his, her hands guaranteeing - at least to her- that he wouldn't pull away. Her head tipped in response to the soft tug of his clawed hand at the nape of her neck.
Sesshomaru watched in silence his brother claiming his mate, though only as much as being within a crowded dance floor would allow. His eyes closed in unnoticed upon the twin fang marks upon her shoulder. No- the humans surrounding them wouldn't notice the significance of that mark, but his pack would. She was taken. She was to be Inuyasha's mate.
His eyes scanned the crowd as they cheered the couple still kissing on the dance floor stopping upon the narrowed red gaze of a man in the back. Chestnut hair framed a too- pale face, and for a moment Sesshomaru wondered just where he'd seen that man before. Vague images flashed through his mind; his eyes followed the man's gaze back to his brother and Kagome before flicking back toward the man in question. His brow furrowed slightly when said man was no longer there. There was something familiar about that face. He'd have to check with Inuyasha about it later..
Another round of cheering came about as the band started up once again; the crowd rushing together.
" Rin? "
" Hmm?"
" Dance with me?" he murmured, his gaze lingering upon her petite frame, her eyes lighting up as a smile touched her features.
" I'd love to!"
Standing and making their way to the dance floor they took their places next to those of his pack..
Miroku and Sango stared open mouthed at their pack mates. Inuyasha and Kagome stood wrapped within each other, completely oblivious to the crowd surrounding them. Sango turned her gaze to Miroku, his face lit up in that familiar perverted grin, his eyes dancing happily.
" Did you know anything about this?"
He eyes focused upon her then; his mate. " No, but I'll have to congratulate him later. Who new the Dog had it in him? That was some dance- think we could try it later?"
" Depends."
One dark eyebrow lifted as once again that lecherous grin graced his handsome face.
" On what?" he murmured, his tone seductive as he leaned forward to casually lick the mark that he'd long ago left upon her neck enjoying the shiver of pleasure that raced along her skin.
" On what you can do on the dance floor- love." she whispered holding back her gasp as need enveloped her senses.
" Ahh, a challenge. We both know how much I enjoy a great challenge." came his husky reply, his arm snaking out to pull her body closer to his already eager one.
Music hung around them, its melody entrancing as each couple moved together- the mood magical; none knowing of the malicious creature stalking the parking lot; a snake lying in wait for its prey..

This song is Cold by Evans Blue..
I am soooooo sorry about the wait. But with ff down, I wanted to wait till I was certain the site was fixed before posting. To those who asked me to let them know the reviews on the last chapter- there were 40! Pretty awesome considering the site was having issues..Thanks so much all. I hope that you all like this chapter, but I won't know if you don't tell me- so please...TELL ME!!!
I think I will do one more club chapter as I really want something more to this before heading off to the rest of the story- I hope this is okay with you all. Let me know if you prefer I do something different, okay? I just don't feel like I got all that I wanted into this chapter. It wasn't as hot as I'd hoped it would be. I'm not sure whether I like it or not, but I didn't want to re-write it and make you all wait any longer than I already have- so I hope that this chapter was worth the wait..
I also want to let you all know that I will be doing my best to update a regularly as possible, but I still don't feel well. I wanted to let you all know what's wrong because so many of you have been wishing me well, and telling me to rest and relax, and I am deeply touched that so many of you have wished me better.
I have what is called a Chiari malformation. To make it basic- the part of my brain that connects with my spine is supposed to sit within my skull. But mine doesn't - it has fallen through the base of my skull thus resulting in pressure being placed upon that part of my brain and spine. My spinal fluid has also been affected, all of this resulting in intensly severe headaches/migraines that can leave me floored for days at a time. It affects those who have it differently , but it has done a number on me...I have been seeing doctors, but it is beginning to look like I am going to need brain surgery to correct this problem.This is why my posting has become erratic...and most likely will stay that way until I am able to get this issue fixed.
I have thought many times of putting my stories on hold until I can get better, as I wanted to be able to provide you with chapters that are worth the wait and the read...but you all are what has convinced me to keep going. It has been your kind words and encouragement through your reviews that have brought me to the computer time and again as I LOVE hearing from you, and knowing that so many of you out there enjoy my fics and patiently await more. It is for you all that I will keep posting as often as I am able. I must thank Azaleea for her editing skills, and for being the best ' little ' sister in the world. There are so many of you to thank- but know this. I do this for all of you- without someone to read my work, there is no reason to write, but you all give me all the reason in the world, and as my thanks to you all I shall keep working on chapters to post.
I decided to tell you all this because of your well wishes..I hope that it doesn't make anyone uncomfortable as this was never my intention..
I thank each of you for your continuing support, and I will keep you all updated as to whether I have to have surgery. I am hoping not, but only time will tell.
Please let me know what you thought as this chapter is one that I am still debating whether I liked it or not, and whether it should have been posted at all. I have a hard time reading my own work so I shall rely on you all to let me know if it was worth the read...Thanks again all! Until next time/..Neisha
