Chapter Two: Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru, Lord of the West, stood at the edge of a clearing looking out at the forest. Despite his insistence to continue to move, his companion like to sleep on a bed and though he wouldn't admit it out loud he had come to like the little cabin in the clearing. It was isolated and no one seemed to bother the two of them. After his young ward, Rin had grown into a fine woman and found the man who could love her like she deserved; he had found he grew attached to unimportant things such as the cabin in the clearing. He, of course would not outwardly show his sentiment to anyone, except perhaps the woman he'd come to cherish.
"Sesshomaru?" Saya, the woman who filled his immediate thoughts stepped out of the cabin holding a sheet around her body.
He glanced back at her; saw her hair was a mess and her skin was still flushed from his ravishing the night before. She was very sexual towards him and her seductive tendencies left him very heated and in need to take her. With this woman before him he had no control over his sexual desires and wasn't in a hurry to complain about it. He turned away from her to distract himself from the need rising in his stomach again.
"What's wrong?" She moved towards him, her voice laced with concern.
"Nothing...yet."
"What's that supposed to mean?" She finally reached him, rested a hand on his arm and could feel he was tense.
"There has been a shift..."
Saya looked at him still not understanding what he was referring to. He could be so ominous sometimes and she wished he'd just tell her what was what.
"Never mind...you'll see when it comes..."
"Okay..." Saya hugged Sesshomaru's side, letting the sheet squish between him and her breasts.
Sesshomaru relaxed slightly letting Saya's warmth ease the tension from his muscles. There wasn't anything in the world he wouldn't do for his Saya. She was the only one he had ever become so possessive over. He only wanted her to see him and no one else. He'd ensure all she wanted was him as well. He firmly wrapped his arms around her showing his possessiveness over her.
Saya made a hum of pleasure and buried her face into his kimono. She loved Sesshomaru with every part of her being and would sacrifice everything for him. From the first moment she spotted him through the bushes she had been drawn to this man who was now keeping her in his possessive embrace. Of course back then he was as cold towards her as everyone else, but to her favour as time went on he began to soften and came to love her as well. She was so happy he saw her as a perfect mate even without the knowledge of what kind of demon she was, besides the fact she was able to create and manipulate ice.
"Go get dressed. We should leave soon." Sesshomaru's chest rumbled against Saya's ear.
"Hai." Saya mumbled not moving from Sesshomaru. She was too comfortable and warm against him. It was very hard to get the motivation to move from his strong embrace.
"Saya..." Sesshomaru's breath whispered over her ear causing shivers to travel down her back. "Time to let go..."
"Do I really have to?" Saya muttered internally wanting him to sweep her off her feet and take her back to bed.
"Yes, you do..." Sesshomaru bent closer to her ear to whisper seductively. "We'll play later."
Saya's breath caught in her throat and butterflies were sent flying in her stomach. The butterflies slowly turned into a deep heat as she gripped the back of his kimono tighter. "Promise...?"
"One I wouldn't dare break." Amusement mixed with raw need was laced through his voice.
Saya looked up at Sesshomaru's hard face and saw the deep seeded need in his eyes. She took his face in both her hands and pulled him down into a passionate kiss. He placed his hands on the small of her back and pulled her as close to his body as possible. She could feel his hard need against her stomach and let a small sexual moan escape her lips.
Sesshomaru quickly gripped her by the shoulders and pushed her arm's distance away. He was slightly out of breath as his eyes wandered over her flustered face. Her chest was heaving as she tried to catch her breath.
"Go inside and put some clothes on." Sesshomaru slowly turned Saya around as she gripped her sheets so they would stay in place. It took all Sesshomaru had to let go of Saya and let her slowly wander back to the cabin. He wanted to rip the sheet to threads and violate every delicious part of her body. He quickly turned away and closed his eyes trying to block the image of Saya's sensual body.
"Wow! What would I have to do to have your hands all over me!" A very cheery female voice came from the dense forest Sesshomaru was looking at earlier.
Sesshomaru regained his composure within that second. His nose twitched denoting his disgust as he slowly opened his eyes to confront the cat woman he smelt. His eyes searched through the trees looking for the source of the voice.
"Over here sexy." A soft tail flicked over his cheek as her breath tickled his ear.
"Don't touch me..." Sesshomaru growled.
"Aw don't be like that handsome." Her fingers snuck into his kimono and grazed over his collar bone.
Before Sesshomaru could react, a bone rattling screech came from behind them. "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY MAN LIKE THAT, YOU FELINE WHORE!" Saya darted out of the cabin as a black and pink blur. The cat demon bounced away from Saya laughing hysterically very amused and intrigued by the ball of fury.
"How firey and passionate!" The woman giggled jumping all over avoiding the blasts of icicles Saya shot at her.
"Stay still!" Saya shouted realizing she wouldn't catch the demon and came to a halt. She took a deep breath, disappeared only to reappear in front of the woman and kicked her hard in the stomach. The woman went flying against a tree having the wind knocked out of her lungs and her two tails caught on a branch. Saya raced over to her, ice forming over her hand creating a hard surface to increase the impact. Saya slammed her fisted into the feline. Saya froze in place, shock plain on her face as static charged the air. The woman slowly stood her white hair fluttering with the static cracks; her loose black and gold kimono with purple lining also moving with the static. Her piercing green eyes shone with excitement. There was hardly a mark on her kimono from the punch Saya sent her way.
"I, Bast have never met one who could lay a hand on me!" She giggled hysterically. "How fun!" Sparks flew as Bast hit Saya in the stomach. Saya went flying across the meadow and into Sesshomaru's arms.
"Saya! Are you okay?" Sesshomaru lightly patted her face trying to get her to open her eyes. She quietly groaned, releasing a small breath of air; giving Sesshomaru all the relief in the world. He slid his hand over her body looking for any permanent damage and found bits of her skin charred which had already begun healing. He gently laid her on the grass and stood completely infuriated. His eyes landed on Bast ready to kill the woman who dare hurt his mate.
"Ooooh." Bast said in a silky voice. "That looked is turning me on." Her eyes continued to sparkle and her lips were seductively curved.
Sesshomaru's patience was at its limit with this woman and he went at Bast with his poison claws. Bast's face became serious and she pounced away, sending waves of lightening towards Sesshomaru. Unfazed by the attack, Sesshomaru sliced through the waves with his claw easily dissipating them. Bast's face became pale finally realizing she was no match against this great dog demon.
"D-don't you want to know why I'm here!" She desperately tried to stall her inevitable death and turned away from her pursuer hoping to get a better advantage.
"It hardly interests me." Sesshomaru took advantage of her mistake and sliced his poison claws across her back. She stumbled forward to her knees panting heavily, the poison already dissolving her kimono and dripping into the claw marks on her back.
Sesshomaru walked up to her and picked her up by the throat, elongating his claws into her throat. The poison seeped into the punctures blackening the skin.
"No one hurts my woman without paying the consequences..." He dropped Bast as her body slumped and the life left her eyes.
Sesshomaru turned away from Bast and went back to Saya. He slowly sat beside her still concerned she wasn't completely okay. "Saya...?" He cupped her cheek and stroked his thumb over the soft curve of her face. "Open your eyes..."
Saya softly hummed enjoying the feel of his hand on her face. She paused a minute in her humming and bolted up. "Where is she! That bitch!"
"Saya..."
Saya looked at Sesshomaru and saw the worry in his eyes. "Oh...I'm sorry." She looked down ashamed and fiddled with her fingers.
"Are you hurting anywhere?"
"No." She shook her head. "I'm completely healed..."
"Good." He stood and held his hand out to her to help her stand as well.
She looked up at him and saw no anger or disappointment. She smiled a bit and took his hand, happy he wasn't mad at her rash actions. Saya paused staring at Sesshomaru's chest feeling a familiar presence very near. She turned in the direction of the presence and watched Miyako walk out of the thick forest.
"Mom." Saya smiled at the soft looking demon and went to hug her. Miyako hugged Saya tightly having not seen her adopted daughter for many years. "What are you doing here?"
"Well..." Miayko was unable to finish her sentence for Sesshomaru cut her off.
"Hello, Father." Sesshomaru spoke to nothing, until Inu no Taishou came out of the same spot Miyako had come.
"Sesshomaru..." Inu no Taishou acknowledged his son unsure of what else to say. Sesshomaru was being as cold as ever and unable to read. "I would not have revealed myself to you...the circumstances at the moment are dire as I'm sure you've seen already." Inu no Taishou was referring to the body of Bast laying in the grass.
"She told us nothing." Sesshomaru spoke with an even and frosty tone.
"Ah..." Inu no Taishou paused a moment having never had the thought his son rushed into killing his enemies, but he did know he son had little interest in what weaker demons had to say. "I myself am not precisely sure the circumstances of what is going on, but it appears it has to do with a powerful demon by the name of Nagendra."
Sesshomaru internally searched his memory for the name and when it came a little flicker of knowing crossed his cold eyes. He slew Nagendra's eldest son, Ophiuchus, after he came for Sesshomaru in replacement revenge; Ophiuchus had been unable to kill Inu no Taishou for he was already dead.
"I'll deal with this myself, Father."
"What's your connection Sesshomaru?"
"We have been cleaning up your messes for centuries, Father. We have fought our own battles without your aide...this time is no different than the rest. I do not require your assistance now or ever." Sesshomaru's hand twitched indicating for Saya to follow and headed for the forest in a different direction than his father was standing.
"I'm going to seek out your brother as well Sesshomaru...with or without you." Inu no Taishou growled displeased with Sesshomaru's arrogant attitude towards him.
Saya quickly pecked Miyako's cheek, nodded to Inu no Taishou and ran to Sesshomaru's side before he left the clearing.
"Father...you have fun with your half breed son...I hope he dies by the hand of whoever is sent his way." Sesshomaru sounded amused as he disappeared into the dense forest.
