Welcome one and all enjoy the chapter.
WARNING: THERE IS SOME MATURE CONTENT IN THIS CHAPTER. NOTHING MAJOR BUT IT IS STILL THERE.
-------------
Kagome had stayed out by the stream for the majority of the day. She was so deep in thought she didn't see the servant come up and tell her it was dinner but she did remember freaking out and almost falling into the stream.
She had followed the servant back into the castle and allowed herself to be led to a grand dinning room.
Sesshomaru sat at the head of the table, sipping a cup of tea.
--------------
Sesshomaru was cursing inside. He had done this on purpose and he knew he was slowly loosing grip on who he really was…or was it really just a façade?
Either way he watched the miko.
He knew that she didn't know about youkai rituals and thus, she had no knowledge of the test she currently faced.
If Kagome were to sit at his right it would mean nothing but if she chose to sit to his left…now that meant something.
-------------
Kagome was trying to figure out which place she should sit. Should she sit beside Sesshomaru and if so on which side? Should she sit away from him?
"Sit where you like miko." Sesshomaru announced, causing Kagome to jump slightly.
She scanned the room quickly and felt a slight tug in a certain direction.
'Okay head you want me to follow your little hints I will but if I get hurt I am so never listening to you again.' Kagome told the muse of her head.
She sat down beside Sesshomaru.
--------------
Sesshomaru almost growled when she sat down beside him to his left.
His mate's seat.
'See Sesshomaru she unknowingly inviting you to mark her.' Sesshomaru's inner beat told him.
'The key word here is unknowingly.' Sesshomaru replied.
'They make her aware of it.' His beast hissed.
'Why should I?' Sesshomaru asked himself.
'Because we want her.' The beast replied.
'No you want her.' Sesshomaru retorted.
'Do not attempt to fool yourself Sesshomaru you want to feel her flesh just as much as I do.' The beast replied.
Sesshomaru quickly squashed his beast. The last comment, about her flesh, sent his mind into overdrive and now he tried not to picture the miko in bed with him.
--------------
Kagome watched Sesshomaru with interest as she ate her soup, a customary dinner. He seemed to be in a state of…uncertainty.
It looked as though he was arguing with himself.
All of a sudden she felt something fuzzy wrapping itself around her inner thigh.
She jumped out of her seat, causing the soup she had previously been eating to pour on her stomach, burning her.
She took a sharp intake of breath.
--------------
Sesshomaru didn't notice his tail sneaking under the table but he did notice when it wrapped around Kagome's thigh and caused her to jump up and burn herself.
He had to push himself down before he stood.
"Be still miko or the burn with further penetrate your skin." Sesshomaru told her as he picked her up bridal style.
In an instant they were in his personal springs. He set Kagome on her feet.
"Remove your shirt." He announced.
"What?" Kagome asked him dumbfounded.
"Remove your shirt." Sesshomaru replied.
Kagome looked at him with a stupid look on her face.
"You want me to do what?" She asked him again.
"Miko you must let the burn cool or risk scarring." Sesshomaru told her.
Kagome lifted her arms slightly, shakily, but stopped and hissed in pain as pain shot up from her stomach.
Sesshomaru stepped closer to her.
"Let me." Sesshomaru offered.
He was gentle, neatly cutting through the fabric of her shirt.
Kagome was in bliss but she tried to keep her mind at bay, with images of Sesshomaru ripping off her clothing coming to mind.
Sesshomaru detected the miko's slight arousal and restrained his beast from fucking her senseless right there.
He gently lifted Kagome's body from the ground and slowly slipped her into the cool water, hearing her hiss.
He came in after her, fully clothed.
"Wh-what are you doing?" Kagome asked him, watching as his shirt became like another skin on him as it got wet.
"Inspecting your wound or would you rather have me go and retrieve Kaine?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"No, no it's okay." She blurted out, blushing as she saw Sesshomaru smirk slightly.
Once he knew the burn had cooled her gently lifted her out of the water to sit on the edge.
He bent down near her stomach and brushed his tongue against her flesh, helping it to heal faster.
Kagome could handle the first lick but when he did it again she let a small moan escape her lips as her arousal spiked.
Sesshomaru was trying very hard to keep his composer but with Kagome letting out her small sounds of pleasure he was losing fast.
Finally the burn was healed yet Sesshomaru didn't stop.
He made a trail with his tongue up through the valley her breasts made, still covered by the odd contraption he would later know as a bra.
He made his way to her lips and kissed her passionately.
Kagome was surprised but as soon as she felt Sesshomaru lick her bottom lip and ask for admission to the amusement park of her mouth she lost it and let go, giving into her desires.
Sesshomaru made love to her mouth, leaving no place untouched and soon he coaxed her tongue to battle with him.
Their tongues danced in an age old dance as Kagome's hands meekly wrapped around his neck.
He growled into her mouth and pulled away looking at his breathless miko.
'Mine' was all he could think
