A/n: Wow. It's been a damn long time since I've updated this story. I love you all for waiting so patiently! Please enjoy this next chapter! J But it will be awhile for another update on other stories as well.
Chapter 8
She breathed steadily through her nose, praying to the gods that she wouldn't have to leave the comfort of his warm mouth against hers. His rough tongue tip glided against her own soft bottom lip demanding entrance into her sweet cavern. At first she wanted to resist, but slowly opened to allow him in. His tongue brushed against hers and she gasped, her palms reaching up to rest against his bare chest, gently pushing him away from her. Using his strength, he kept his mouth against hers continuing to explore, sweeping his long tongue over every sweetened part of her mouth. Finally, she needed to breathe and he gave her that. A small string of saliva thinned as they backed away from one another.
Caty cleared her throat and averted her gaze to the comforter of her bed. "Wow." She whispered, touching her slightly swollen lips.
Sesshomaru smiled. "I have to agree with the wow part, my dear." He reached over, gripping her hand in his own, trying to pull her back to him, but she didn't budge. "What is wrong?"
She bit her lower lip, rubbing the back of her neck and glancing around her bedroom. "I-I'm sorry, but I don't have sex with someone I don't really love. Besides, I'm not experienced."
The silver-haired demon pulled away from her. "You are a virgin, this I know."
His clawed hand reached up, brushing several strands of auburn hair from her face. She was absolutely beautiful, at least for a human. There were plenty of demonesses who held a beautiful face, but this human was true beauty inside and out. The purity of her heart could not keep his inner demon in check, wanting to mate with her. In truth, though he didn't want to admit it, Sesshomaru was quite fond of her. She was the one he mostly spoke with in the house ever since their arrival. Each day they got to know a little bit more about each other and he found he liked it. Perhaps taking time with her would be worth the effort in the end.
"Do not worry. I am not wishing to bed you this night. I only want to explore you a little." He leaned over, his lips brushing against her cheek, under her eye. "To see what may lay wait for me in the near future." He whispered, hot breath against her face.
Caty couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed his face with both hands, blue eyes gazing deep into his amber ones. "The future?" She asked wondering what he meant by that.
"Yes. A future I see with you in it." Was his only reply before she collided her lips against his, demanding entrance into his own mouth with her tongue, in which he gladly allowed.
The movie ended pretty late, Sango guessing Inuyasha had no idea how long the movie actually was. It was already past 11 and their reservations were around ten o'clock. Now, they were unable to go to the restaurant which the half-demon wished to take her. Now what were they going to do?
Sango grasped his hand as they walked out of the theater. There was so much they had to talk about from the movie. It was now a personal favorite for the both of them, Inuyasha declaring he would buy the movie once it was out on DVD. She smiled as he recalled a moment in the movie where his favorite actor Ritsuko Namagishi jumped out of the helicopter into the ocean just to save the life of a teenage girl he knew nothing about.
"I'm telling you, that was one great movie. I loved it." Inuyasha took small steps allowing the high-heeled Sango to keep up with his pace.
She nodded. "Yeah, it was a good one. I'll be sure to leave an open space on the movie shelf for it."
"And then we can watch it again and again like a marathon only it's the same movie over and over."
Sango giggled. "Yeah." She took a breath and checked out her surroundings. It was a nice night outside. For a moment, she regaled in the silence of the evening and just remembered what Inuyasha said to her about watching the movie again when it came out to buy. Her chocolate eyes looked next to her.
He felt her watching him and turned to face her. "Is something wrong, Sango?"
"N-no. Not really. I'm just, well…" She tucked a loose strand of raven hair behind her ear.
"Well what?" He stopped walking and set a hand on her arm.
"When the movie comes out, we'll watch it again, huh?"
Inuyasha snorted and shrugged. "Of course, silly."
"A movie that takes almost a year to come out. You plan on still being around then?"
The half-demon's ears twitched on the top of his head. What a question she was asking. Of course he'd be around. In fact, he planned on it.
"Yeah, I plan on being around for quite awhile, Sango. Do you?" He rubbed up and down her arm, amber eyes looking at her questioningly.
The slayer thought back to the last few weeks the two brothers had been in their home. All was pretty much peaceful, a few flirting phrases and groping, but other than that nothing to harm either one of the girls who lived in the house. Was there a chance all of them could remain friends after this business with the Shikon Jewel was done? To be able to keep in touch with Inuyasha and do many things with him would make her beyond happy.
Her heart raced a little when she thought of the future. She wanted him nearby. Wanted him in her life no matter what rumors laid in her path to stay with him.
"Yeah." She said quietly. "I plan on being around for a long time."
He smirked, leaning forward and pressing his forehead against hers, silver bangs twining with her black tresses.
"Good."
She blushed and with him being so close, she knew he could see it plain as day on her face. He laughed a little, his eyes drooping slightly, then opening to stare into hers.
"Inuyasha?" Her body began to feel warm with him so close to her.
"Yes, Sango?"
Her pink tongue poked out licking her lips before tilting her head upward, guiding her lips to lay against his own in chaste, but quick kiss. The slayer took a step back to breath in much needed air. It felt like a heavy heat radiating between them and breathing was impossible.
"What was that for?" He asked, in shock at what she had done.
"For being you." Embarrassment spread over her and she turned away to hide an even deeper shade of red adorning her white cheeks.
The youngest Taisho stepped up behind her, wrapping strong arms around her shoulders. "You're very special, Sango. I'm glad that I know you." He leaned down pressing a light kiss to her exposed red cheek before pulling away. His hands rested on her bare shoulders and caressed the skin there. It was a cool night, but her body felt like fire. "Come, let's go into the car and we can find some place really nice to have dinner."
"'Kay." She nodded and faced him, smiling.
His arm wrapped around her shoulder as they headed toward the car not realizing a predicament he was about to get into.
Kagome couldn't sleep. Even though it had been somewhat of a long day, she still couldn't find the time to actually rest. Her thoughts had been keeping her up as of late and she began to wonder if she had insomnia. For the last week or so, the girl had been having nightmares, all of them having to do with the jewel she was protecting. Her worries only added to multiple possibilities about the demon attacks happening lately in the lands. Though she didn't have to worry much with Caty and Sango around, not to mention Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, it still didn't satisfy her. The priestess needed answers otherwise there was a chance she might never find peace in sleep again. Grabbing the edge of her comforter, she tore it off her body and stood up. Maybe a walk would help her clear thoughts.
She closed her door as silent as possible not knowing if the other occupants of the household were asleep yet. Kagome tiptoed down the hallway, only to see Caty's bedroom door wide open, light still on. Perhaps she might speak to the demon slayer about her problems. That would also help. She peeked around the corner ready to say hello when she saw what could only be a sweet moment.
Inside on Caty's bed lay herself and Sesshomaru. She was laying on the pillow, eyes shut while a sleepy dog demon had his head resting on the girl's stomach. An arm was wrapped around her waist while the other had the fingers entwined with the slayer's. Two sets of limbs lay together, a set bare while the other was clothed. Apparently Sesshomaru and the girl fell asleep with one another.
Kagome grinned, head shaking. Somehow she knew this might happen, just didn't know when it would occur. Softly treading into the bedroom, she reached to turn the nightstand light out and walked back out without disturbing the sleeping pair. As she was ready to close the door, a hand grabbed her shoulder turning her around. A scream that was ready to come out, thankfully didn't. There standing before her with a smile on his face was Inutaisho.
"Geezus! You scared the shit out of me!" She whispered harshly not wanting to wake her friends.
Inutaisho lowered his head. "My apologies, Kagome. I came back to let you know of the outcome of the meeting."
Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't you just send Seiyu like you usually do, my lord?" She tried to casually reach back to shut Caty's bedroom door. If he saw his son sleeping in the same bed as one of the slayers, he might get very angry. An angered lord was the last thing she wanted on her hand. Not to mention the roof over her home was still needed.
The great dog demon sighed. "I figured this was something I had to let you know myself. It is rather important." He noticed Kagome reaching for the door handle. "Is something the matter, Kagome?"
"Huh?" She played dumb. "What do you mean?" Please don't look in there.
He raised his own eyebrow before stepping forward and pushing the door open, creaking gently. There he saw one of his slayers sleeping with somebody else in the same bed. She must have a lover of some sort. "Hmm." He was ready to shut the door himself when he saw the familiar long silver hair and breath hitched in his throat. Is that my son? The dog demon was ready to head into the room, but Kagome stopped him.
"My lord Inutaisho, please don't disturb them."
He growled and turned to face the priestess. "Do you have any idea what is going on with my son and that slayer?" She shook her head no. "My sons are forbidden to lay in bed with another until they mate. Did Seiyu not tell you this?"
Kagome once more said no. "Lord Inutaisho, please, let us go downstairs where we can talk."
As much as he wanted to grab his son off the bed and throw him out of the room, he complied with the wishes of the homeowner. He would leave it be. For now.
Kagome led the demon downstairs into the kitchen where she motioned for him to take a seat at the island across from her. He nodded, but his eyes kept wandering toward the ceiling.
"Lord Inutaisho-"
"Kagome, no formalities while we are alone, please. Just call me Inutaisho." He stated without looking at her.
"As you wish, Inutaisho." She waited for him to speak with once more, but his attention had been diverted since they left upstairs. "Inutaisho, please stop and look at me."
Inutaisho did as asked, now ready to give her his full, undivided attention. "Kagome, what is the relationship between Sesshomaru and my slayer?"
She smiled while grabbing a slice of jerky out of the glass jar on the island. "The relationship between them is simple." She took a small bite. "They like each other."
The lord shook his head laughing. "Sesshomaru doesn't like humans unless he can screw them."
"It seems he has developed some kind of fondness for Caty. After all, they have been stuck under the same roof for the past three weeks almost a month."
"Sesshomaru's personality does not allow him to grow fondness for anything in such a quick time. Especially a human who is also one of my slayers."
She agreed somewhat and nodded. "Well, sure, but it doesn't mean change is inevitable. Besides, he and Inuyasha have been on their best behavior since they've arrived here. I don't think you are giving them the benefit of the doubt."
"You don't understand. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are my sons. Born hundreds of years ago, yet they are unmated. Females of all sorts have found their way into their beds and not one caught either of their interest to continue a relationship with." His claws folded together on the counter. "These days I should have grandchildren. Yet that wish is unfulfilled by my player pups."
Kagome laughed. "Player pups? That's cute for some reason." The girl smiled and reached a hand across the table to rest on his. "I understand what you mean about them. But I honestly believe Sesshomaru and Caty are developing some kind of relationship that could possibly end up with them mating."
"Truly you do?" He was surprised she was believing something such as that. What a strange priestess.
"Yeah. Caty, Sango and Hitari are all my best friends. We have been together since junior high. So I know them pretty well. And what I know is that Sesshomaru makes Caty happy. Though it is going at a pretty slow pace for feelings to come from somewhere, what is developing is a great chance of happiness for both of them. So, please, give him some credit. It seems he is trying to do as you asked of him."
The Western Lands leader paused in a reply thinking upon what the priestess was trying to explain to him. Sure Sesshomaru might have changed a little, but he knew his children better than anyone. It was easy to turn a player into a faithful partner.
"Kagome, I will take what you have said into consideration, but please warn Caty that matters of the heart are precious. I do not wish for her to be heartbroken when Sesshomaru is gone and might never come back by her side."
"Certainly, your excellence. Besides, they haven't done anything like that. She's still a virgin." She grabbed the jar of beef jerky and opened it. "Want some?"
He sighed, then smiled. "Thank you." He reached it to grab a piece. "Now, about the meeting."
"Tell you what. I'm kind of bored just sitting here in the house. Why don't we go for a walk?"
Inutaisho nodded. "Certainly."
Sango and Inuyasha were heading to the car when the half-demon heard a voice shouting his name behind him. He stopped, sniffing the air sensing a familiar demonic aura nearby. Amber eyes widened like saucers, chills running up his spine. It couldn't be her, could it? But the demon did not want to take any chances. Quickly, he rushed to get Sango in the car before she appeared.
"Come on, Sango. We have to get moving." He pushed her to the passenger side of the vehicle and opened the door, pushing her head down as she went to sit down.
"Inuyasha, what's going on? Why are you rushing me?" The slayer slapped his hand aside and stood back up. "What's wrong?"
"Please, Sango, you have to get in the car before she sees you." He begged, trying to push her in again.
Snorting, she stepped away from the vehicle, hands folded across her chest. "Inuyasha, who is she? Why do you seem afraid of her?"
The silver-haired male's claws ran through his hair continuously. "She was a mistake I made a few months ago."
"Mistake?" Now she just had to know the story to this one.
"Yeah. I met her walking home from the store one day. We met in the park and hit it off. I took her out on a few dates and coaxed her into sleeping with me cause I liked her."
"You actually liked a girl?" Sango was shocked. Inuyasha actually admitted to liking someone before despite his player status?
"Yes. I did like her. She had a nice personality and was very sweet. Not to mention a very beautiful demoness. And after I slept with her that one time, she wouldn't leave me alone."
"What do you mean?"
"An increase in calls and texts from morning to night. I had to change my cell and house numbers because of it! Even Sesshomaru had to change his because she found it out! Stalking me around my house and wherever else I went. She's a damn stalker! I never realized her personality could be so twisted and obsessed!" He growled. "She even takes secret pictures of me. I know she does cause I caught her quite a few times doing it."
Sango shook her head. "Okay, okay." She held up a hand for him to stop. She had heard enough. "Listen, why don't you just tell her straight out that you aren't interested in her. Maybe she'll leave you be."
"Maybe? Please, Sango! She doesn't know the meaning of leaving people alone! I mean, don't you think I've already confronted her more than enough times about it?" He raised his voice a little louder than he wanted.
"No need to shout, Inuyasha." Smiling, she set her hands upon his shoulder and gave him a quick kiss to calm him down. "Don't worry. Just do it this one last time. If she doesn't listen, then I'll deal with her. After all, I am a demon slayer."
"Sango, she's strong. Trust me, I've experienced what she can do. So have a few girls I've been with in the last couple of months."
"All right. We can just leave if she gives you that much trouble."
He sighed in relief. "Thank you!" Inuyasha pulled open the passenger door once more, but stopped when he felt his nightmare behind him. "Fuck!" He whispered. Turning, his grinding teeth settled and he put on the best fake smile he could. "Hello, Razi."
"Hey, Inuyasha." Razi grinned at him.
Sango blinked. She definitely was beautiful, she gave her that much. Her long pink hair was freely flowing down to her waist. Iris colored eyes showed through long, sexy lashes with pink, jagged stripes adorning her face. The red mini dress with black boots made her look all the sexier, though Sango couldn't think of any other word to describe her appearance except for skank.
"Uh, hello." Sango tried being nice and held out her hand. "My name is Sango. I'm a friend of Inuyasha's."
The demoness blinked, smiling fading. Inuyasha was out with another girl? Again? How could that two-timer do that to her? She was his girlfriend! Nobody messed around on her and got away with it!
"Just a friend?" Razi asked with a slight growl.
Sango blushed. "Well, yeah. What else did you think I was?"
Her arms folded across her protruding chest, not willing to answer her. Instead, her gaze turned to her so-called boyfriend. "You're cheating on me again, Yashie?"
Yashie? What the fuck? "Razi, listen, I ain't cheating on you with Sango." Eyes brightened. "I ain't cheating on you because we," he pointed between him and her, "aren't going out with one another. I've told you this more than once!"
"Inuyasha, we slept together! Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
He scratched the back of his head. Damn he wanted to get away from this woman as fast as possible. He was afraid that something might happen to Sango if they overstayed in that spot.
"Razi, we are not together! Sure we slept together, but that was only once! Please try and understand!"
Her breath came short and quick, rage building up inside her. "How dare you! I gave you the one real thing that was actually mine because I thought you loved me!"
Okay. Sango was getting tired of it. She told Inuyasha to reason with her, but how that was unlikely. And the demoness getting angry in the middle of the sidewalk was not a good sign.
"Girl, you need to calm down." Sango finally said. "Inuyasha is not yours. Sure he liked you when you were first together, but you became too obsessed. Not a trait any man likes in a woman."
Purple eyes darkened, her aura crackling with yellow bolts around her. "Stay out of this, human, or you'll be dead before you take a step!"
Inuyasha narrowed his amber eyes, stepping in front of Sango. How dare this woman think she could talk to Sango that way! She was only trying to reason with her. Even though this was none of the slayer's business, somehow she had pulled herself in. But to threaten the girl he was with wasn't helping any. The demon within him wished nothing more than to kill for his woman. And if it came down to it, he would die trying.
"Mess with my girl, you mess with me!" His demon growled, claws flexing at the ready.
Sango's brown eyes widened. "Inuyasha!" She gasped. Oh no! This wasn't good! If he got himself into a fight right now with her, there was no chance of saying if either of them would survive. The strong demonic aura surrounding the two of them collided with each other making her rather dizzy. She had to call for help. Stepping back toward the car, she reached inside and pulled out her cell phone calling the only one who could.
Golden eyes opened slowly to darkness surrounding him. Sesshomaru wondered when Caty had the chance to turn off light next to the bed without waking him up. He slowly stretched out his arm that was recently laying across the slayer's waist and glanced up, eyes adjusting to the dark. He could see she was still sleeping by her even breathing, and saw their fingers were still twined together. He smiled a little, pushing himself up slightly to move onto the pillow next to the girl. Slowly he reached over caressing her cheek.
Such a beauty this human possesses. His clawed fingertips gently stroked the skin of her cheek, down her neck and slowly between the valley of her clothed breast. The demon could not wait until this human would officially give herself to him. And when she did, he felt there might not be another who would be able to warm his bed. Slowly, he leaned in, kissing her cheek. At that second, he felt movement from her, only to see she turned onto her side facing him. His own body adjusted to face her and wrapped around her waist once more, rubbing circles on her lower back.
Suddenly, the silence of the bedroom was broken through by the sound of his cell phone ringing in his pocket. Groaning, he reached inside and pulled it out checking the screen to see who the caller was. Sango? Why is she calling me? Sitting up, he answered it only to have his sleeping partner wake up at the sound of the ring tone.
"Mm? Sesshomaru?"
He smiled and brought a finger to his lips for her to hush a moment. "Yeah?" He spoke into the receiver. His eyes squinted as he heard the girl explaining what was wrong. "Yeah. Okay. I'll get there as soon as I can. Don't worry. I can handle Razi." He pressed end on the screen and looked down at Caty who was smiling herself. "Have a nice sleep?"
The slayer nodded and sat up in bed, leaning over to give him a kiss. His hand touched her hip, the kiss slow.
"How about you?"
"To be honest, I've slept a little better than I usually do alone." A chuckle escaped him as he removed himself from the bed, leaving the area empty.
"Is something the matter?" Caty wondered.
Sesshomaru shook his head. "Yeah. Sango just called me. Seems Razi's up to her antics again."
"Razi?"
"Inuyasha's personal stalker." He stretched himself out before replacing the phone in his pocket. "I need to get down to the movie theater otherwise Sango might get hurt."
"I'm coming with." Caty pushed out of the bed, rushing to grab her shoes and a hoodie.
"I'll meet you downstairs in a second. I need to get dressed." He leaned over and gave her another quick kiss before disappearing from her bedroom.
Inuyasha was still arguing with Razi, auras still crackling with rage. The hostile demoness was in an attack position, yet unable to find herself able to lunge at Inuyasha. After all, he was hers. She wouldn't attack someone who was hers.
"Inuyasha, let me kill the nasty little human then we can be together." Razi wickedly smiled.
"Lady, you are waaaaay over your head if you think I'll allow you to come anywhere near Sango."
She flexed her claws. "Fine then. I'll just have to remove you from the equation until I am done with her." Oh well. If it's to get to her, I'll take him out of it.
Sango cringed when Razi grabbed Inuyasha by the shirt and pulled him away from them, throwing him into the side of the movie theater. Witnesses stepped away from the rubble and pile of Inuyasha who was already getting up again.
"Razi, don't take one step near her, you stupid bitch!" His amber eyes shockingly seeped in redness and attacked her again.
The demons fought against each other in the middle of the sidewalk. Sango screeched a little before moving out of the way. They were pushing each other back and forth into buildings and parked vehicles, both at equal strength. She prayed that Sesshomaru get there immediately. This was turning into one dangerous situation.

A/n: Wow! That was wonderful! Sorry for leaving you with a cliffhanger. But I do hope you enjoyed. Please read and review. Thank you!
