Chapter 18: Princess

Tachi-mora grumbled as he hovered down the hall way. The tall, dark Tenshi was dressed in a white and black formal attire with black trousers and a matching tailcoat for the English Dancing recital. "It's as if the stupid people here have nothing better to do! Ugh!! Dance… dance… gamble…. Grumble…. Ugh!!"

Giving up on his wings, Tachi-mora stomped down and ran towards his room, rounding a corner he ran into someone. "Oh… sorry!" Tachi-mora stated as he helped the woman up. As soon as her face came into view he pulled back instinctively. "Kemurai. Sorry." He tried brushing past her but couldn't help but glancing at her.

She was wearing a less than mid thigh leather dress that laced up on either side. She didn't lace them all the way for the string was much too long and it stopped on her hips. The leather was extremely constricting and pressed her breasts tightly against her. Her hair was laced in with some strips of leather in a formal yet intriguing design. She as well wore knee high leather boots.

'All she needs is a whip and some crazy style make up and we got ourselves a class A Bitch.' The dark Tenshi kept running, dodging the strange temptation.

'Hmm, we have ourselves a looker.'

'Ow!' Kane managed to smile down at the pretty Tenshi in front of him, "My dear you have the tendency to step on feet, don't you?" Kagome blushed a bright crimson looking down at their feet once more, 'If I step on his foot on more time…. Arg!' When Kagome glanced up a grimace was upon the young Neeko's face.

"Excellent." Kane rasped. 'Just count the steps… don't yell…. You don't want to hurt her feelings.' Kagome's blush intensified ten fold, "I'm so sorry." Kane gave her a grin, "Don't worry about it."

'Breath in, breath out, brea- ow! Th in, breath out….' Kane's mind chanted continuously, much like a Sacrent mantra. Kagome suddenly pulled away all together, "I keep stepping on you and messing us up!" she exclaimed. Kane pulled Kagome back into his arms, "No it's alright really." Her cheeks were flushed in exasperation and embarrassment.

Kane's grin grew as he placed a chaste kiss on each cheek, "You look beautiful." Kagome's blush grew even more so. If possible. "Thanks." That's when Kagome saw the perfection that made her heart flutter more than she thought possible.

Sesshomaru was gowned in a the most beautiful English attire she had ever seen. Though not wearing anything fancy but definitely not the clothes of a peasant, he adorned a dark blue loose shirt that had long, loose sleeves. The blue accented the shimmers in his silver hair. He wore breeches that could be easily described as black jeans and his usual boots. His hair was tied back in a low ponytail and he had on a belt that had some amber and sapphires engraved within.

Kagome sucked in a deep breath and slowly pulled away from Kane's embrace, feeling guilty. 'Why should I feel guilty for his crap?' she thought in outrage. At Kane's confused look she stared down at their feet once more, unconsciously releasing Sesshomaru from her powerful gaze. "If you are worried about stepping on my feet still, my dear, it's alright. It takes time to understand these foreign dances." He gave her an encouraging smile. Kagome nodded but pulled away some more, "Listen…. I think I need to go sit down, I feel a little… off."

Kane's brows furrowed in concern, "No I'm fine, I'm a just a little dizzy." Kagome sighed and pulled away from the blonde and blue eyed neeko. Kagome sat down at a table and ordered a glass of water. She was relieved to find out that Kane's nose was no where near as strong as Sesshomaru's or Inuyasha's, if so he would have been able to see through her 'dizziness'.

Kagome sighed and looked back up at the dance floor, Miroku was dancing with Sango and both were staring down at their feet. Before Miroku knew it he was bumping into more people than he could count, Sango was no less innocent.

Inuyasha was being hoarded by crazed females begging him to dance with them. His petrified face was beyond funny as he searched for help. Kioshi, the Inu Prince of the North with his long dark brown hair pulled back accented his two dark blue stripes on both cheeks and his green four pointed star upon his forehead, managed to distract a lot of the ladies' attentions. Kagome never recalled Inuyasha looking so relieved the whole 6 months she's known him.

Kagome was surprised to see that a lot of the women, that adored Inuyasha, were human. 'I wonder what their reactions would be if they found out he was a hanyou…' Kagome shrugged and hoped Inuyasha wouldn't fall for false hope or love. It just wasn't worth it; a heart was too gentle to experience too much pain. And from what she could tell, Inuyasha had, had his share of pain and misery. And she didn't mean from physical wounds.

Kioshi was suddenly before her and Kagome gasped, she was so lost in her musings that she didn't even notice the tall TaiYoukai. "Hey there." He said, "May I sit down?" he motioned to the chair in front of him. Kagome smiled, "Go for it."

Kioshi smiled his recognition before looking around as if seeing the lovely decorations for the first time, "Lovely, is it not?" Kagome smiled, "Yes." Kioshi's smile faltered, "What's wrong? I've never seen you speak so curtly before."

Kagome shrugged, "Ever felt like someone is right in front of you and yet you can never have them?" Kioshi nodded, "Well that's how I feel now…." she gave a wry laugh, "Why am I telling you this? I shouldn't burden you with my problems." She gave him a sheepish smile.

Kioshi shrugged, his large shoulders lifting and falling, "Continue…. I am to be Lord one of these days, enlighten me. Tell me what troubles you and allow me to aid you." He gave her a heart-touching smile. Kagome gave a smaller version, "What happened to your hentai attitude?"

Kioshi feigned shock, "Oh darling, you noticed." Kagome couldn't suppress the giggle. "My father kept nagging me about it." Kagome stared at him, "Hayai-sama nags?" she asked incredulously. Kioshi laughed a full hearted one reminding her much of the current TaiYoukai of the West, "Yes you'd be amazed how much you don't know of my parents!"

Kagome couldn't suppress the giggle building up at his airy manner. Kioshi smiled, "Score for me, I made the princess smile!" Kagome stared at him in confusion. "Inuyasha. He told me he can't stand it when you are so gloomy. You know…. He's very grown up since I've last seen him." Kagome's azure eyes twinkled, "Yea, he's matured a lot here lately…. A lot due to his brother." She mumbled.

Kioshi's gray eyes narrowed slightly in concern, "How so?" Kagome shrugged, "Well…." She relayed a large majority of the past month or so explaining of the dragon attack and how Sesshomaru stayed with them. Kioshi stared at her in disbelief, "Sesshomaru did all that? My Kami!" he exclaimed.

Kagome again shrugged, "Yea…. Now he's…. g-gone." She had tried to keep her composure. She had tried hard to stay in control of her overwhelming emotions but it wasn't working. At each smile, each laugh Kioshi, young Lord of the North, broke her down. She knew he meant well, she knew he was doing this for Inuyasha and most likely his sister Kaminari…. But Kami… it hurt.

Kioshi's smile faltered quickly, "Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute! What I say? Oh Kami." Looking around frantically he quickly stood and grabbed the Tenshi miko. Pulling her away before too much gossip could pursue he took her to the hall and allowed her to break down on his chest.

"Now, now…." Kioshi thought back to all the times his mother had comforted him or any of his other siblings for that matter, and used that as his vice. He calmed his voice, soothing it to an almost purr, "Kagome, there is no need for this sorrow. Sesshomaru will come to his senses…. I believe something his just amiss…. Something's happened to his head. Now, now…" he continued on, keeping smooth and gentle.

Kagome sobbed on his chest. One of Kioshi's arms wrapped around her upper back while the other smoothed her long, luxurious azure locks. That's when he mumbled it atop her head, "Something's happened to his head..."

"W-what?" she asked shakily, lifting her head until ocean blue clashed with pyrolusite gray. His eyes narrowed slightly, exclaiming his concern, "What, what?" Kagome stared more intently in his eyes, "What did you s-say?" Kioshi looked deeper into her eyes before saying, "Something like…. Something's happened to his head…. I think."

Kioshi watched as her eyes brightened from dark marine blue to a bright steel blue as some form of realization hit her hard. "His head…." She whispered, "Thank you so much Kioshi." She pulled him into a tighter hug before pulling away. Kioshi grinned, "Anything to be of service…." He called to her back as she ran off to some unknown destination, "Anything to be of service to the Western Land's Princess."

Sesshomaru watched from a distance as the strange Tenshi danced, if you could claim it dancing, with the whelp of a Neeko Youkai. He refrained from snorting as she continuously stepped among his boot covered feet with her long black heels.

Sesshomaru watched with well trained eyes as she grew impatient and than frustrated. He listened to her sweet voice constantly expressing her apologies to the impertinent neeko. He scoffed silently; her innocence was wasted upon Kane of the South, considering Kane never had interest in women before. Sesshomaru mentally pulled at his sanity, 'Why would this Sesshomaru allow such thoughts to cloud his person?'

Sesshomaru listened as he lowered his dark lashes to his cheeks as the azure Tenshi made excuses to get away. He could tell simply from her stuttering and the way her voice quieted exceptionally that she was lying to get away from the runt. Sesshomaru refrained himself, with much difficulty, from smirking at the young woman. Sure she was a miserable wench that need not have his attentions so drastically but Kane was also discreditable of having such a beautiful prize.

Sesshomaru paused momentarily in his musings before stepping out of the darkness of one of the balconies. He opened his eyes slowly allowing all the colors of the room invade his amber gold eyes but instantly they landed on the miko that was garbed in the most exquisite dress he had ever seen. She had allowed herself to leave little to the imagination, and yet her innocence spoke lengths through her aura. She had dressed herself in a black halter that showed the elegant curve of her breasts. The tightness ran over every curve of her slim waist and flat tummy. The dress stopped less than mid thigh and proceeded to show off her long slim legs which seemed even longer with her long black heels.

But… she was in the arms of another… Kane's arms. The jealousy that struck him full force almost knocked his usual persona right off his face.

He watched as her eyes widened in almost pure disbelief and open fascination. The soft intake of breath could have caused him to smirk and the way she pulled away from the insolent boy's arms was an even better reason…. And yet he didn't allow it. When she finally looked away he hadn't noticed he, himself, was holding in his breath.

Sesshomaru allowed the breath to pass through his lips before turning and walking towards the exit and into the large hallways. His destination unknown, his façade falling slowly. No one was in the hallways it eased him the slightest bit, but not enough. There were hundreds upon hundreds youkai and human alike in this entire castle. Not to mention eight Tenshi.

He paused mid-step… he had only sensed four others besides the ocean blue Tenshi. Shrugging it off he headed towards the outer doors that lead to the large expanse of land outside. Opening the large door with ease the wind blew his ponytail confined hair every which way. Stepping out into the unrelenting winds and rain he closed the large door just as easily as he had opened it.

Shunusuke danced with effortlessness with Mizu, they had taken a dance class in High School together to get an extra credit or so. Mizu giggled, "Oh I didn't think we could actually put this dancing to use!" she exclaimed as she twirled with the red headed Tenshi.

Shunusuke chuckled, "I really didn't think we could either!" Shunusuke grit his teeth at the annoying music, it was really starting to ram his patience. "I hope Tachi-mora hurries." He murmured under his breath. Mizu didn't once glance down at her feet as she made the complicated moves seem easy, "Oh quit whining, we may never get to dance like this again."

Shunusuke shrugged, "Eh, I could live with that. With every day at 10 o' clock in the morning in the 9th grade and now this. I could definitely live with that." Mizu just shook her head at the older Tenshi's brazen statements. Finally Tachi-mora came into view with Kagome's stereo in one hand, her large CD case under his arm pit, his guitar strapped to his back with Shunusuke's carelessly in his free hand.

Shunusuke shocked that Tachi-mora would dare treat his precious instrument in such a manner charged down there and swiped it from the younger male. "What's gotten into your head?" he asked defensively, cradling his guitar. Tachi-mora scratched the side of his head, "Ano… Bitches?" Tsurai scowled at his language but said nothing.

"Shall we?" the gray haired and blue eyes ¼ youkai asked. Tachi-mora glanced at him with a peculiar look before shrugging, 'Where the hell'd he come from?" Tsurai laughed before taking the stereo away from him and flew over the large crowd and onto the stage where Shinai and Mizu awaited them.

Shunusuke shrugged before walking through the sidelines to get towards the stage, Tachi-mora followed warily. He could almost feel Tsurai's unease. Shunusuke shot him a look over his shoulder, motioning that he too sensed Tsurai's wariness.

Tachi-mora took in a deep breath, this week wasn't turning out at all like planned.

Right before Tachi-mora jumped among the stage and arm circled around his bicep partially. Turning Tachi-mora saw Kaminari and sucked in his breath once again. The iridescent colors of her English style dress allowed glamour to go up a new level. The shimmering greens and lavender increased her bright emerald eyes and soft pale skin. Her hair was done in an amazing chignon.

He grinned at her boyishly, something he hadn't done in years, "Hey… What's wrong?" Kaminari's deep green eyes flashed to a golden color for a moment, "Oh … I was just wondering if you knew what was wrong with Kagome." She said pointing to said Tenshi.

Tachi-mora eyebrows furrowed, "Her chosen mate is rejecting her and her Tenshi isn't sure how to handle it." It was the first time Kaminari ever heard Tachi-mora's voice filled with such wisdom and sadness. She pulled him into a light hug.

"We'll just have to fix that, now won't we?" she said giving him a brilliant smile. Tachi-mora chuckled, "Oh yea, you know it." His voice returned to the usual deep and contentness.

Tracing the small four-pointed star on her forehead he leaned in. he placed a chaste kiss among it. Her breath caught in her throat and her eyes fluttered shut. She felt Tachi-mora's breath fan on her cheek as he gave a silent chuckle. "Now I can't do too much affection. Your father would skin me alive!" he whispered in her ear.

Pulling away he jumped among the stage, smiling fondly, before turning his attentions back to his Tenshi friends.

Tokei growled lowly, these were not the people he wanted to be with at the moment. Leaning against the back hall wall, Naraku's puppet as well as some unnamed youkai spawn, stood in front of him.

Ignoring his orders from the puppet for the moment, Tokei took a good look at the tall incarnation. The one that was most likely to replace his job, to take over his position.

The incarnation had to be at least six feet and two inches, a few inches less than the tall TaiYoukai Sesshomaru. He was long and perfectly proportioned, his features almost seemed aristocratic. He had high cheek bones and a perfectly sculptured chin. The spawn had long, curly locks, much like his masters, and were the deepest crimson red. The locks were pulled back in a tight, high ponytail. His bangs parted at the middle of his refined forehead, baring the mark of a Brown Recluse Spider.

His eye color, Tokei didn't know due to the fact that he had his head bowed in proper respect to the puppet. His lips though, were parted with a cool, menacing smirk that bespoke his confidence.

(A/N: Apology ahead of time, I can see his outfit clearly in my head… but I don't know how well I actually put it down on paper… I went over it a million and one times trying to make it easier but I'm not sure how well I did. I'll draw him soon to show you guys!)

This new comer wore an elaborate, complex kimono that looked expensive. In Tokei's eyes, it could have easily rivaled the Four Great Lord's attire. Starting at his feet, he wore boots that were both akin to Sesshomaru's slim and light weight boots and Tachi-mora's hefty and strong ones. The boots were tall and sliming, reaching to the regal incarnation's knees, and were outlined with a rich gold outlining. His dark charcoal grey hakama were tighter than most kimonos. The hakama was tucked within his boots, bulging slightly, leading up long thighs. His pants were dyed a deep rich gold on the sides but mid-thigh was a perfect outline of a skull about the size of a curled fist on both sides.

Wrapped around his lean waist was a pure golden sash that was tied in an elegant bow. The long remaining string fell and created a shadow of a skull. No matter which way Tokei seemed to stare at it, it always ended up as a skull. This guy was starting to send chills up his spine.

Traveling more-so up his lean chiseled body he wore a charcoal grey haori that was lean and tight, expressing his muscles even more so. Unlike most kimonos, instead of joining at the base of your throat his met together at the beginning of his well defined torso, which exposed his chest and a large amount of his shoulders. It was as if he was made for pure seduction…. 'If you could look past his sinister smirk. This guy's a freak.' Tokei thought in disgust.

Trailing his pale green eyes over the unnamed spawn's shoulders and down the length of his elongated arms. Tokei noticed that the more he trailed his eyes down the more the kimono color seemed to fade and transfer into a lighter, gentler grey. Deeply embroidered gold was among his shoulders and down his arms that spread to dominate the ends of the sleeves. Upon his broad but lean shoulders, alike but so unlike Sesshomaru's who held six petaled flowers in hexagons, this spawn had skulls within octagons, all outlined in a beautiful gold. He wore a simple silk gold under kimono that matched the rest of his outfit. And to top off his elegance he had single corded leather necklace that hung down in between his pecks. At the end of the necklace was a medallion of a spider in the middle.

Tokei frowned; this guy could be trouble for anyone. The way he stood there, it was a bit unnerving; he stood with a perfect stillness. No movement what-so-ever. It was complicated to state that the guy was really even breathing. Another chill went down Tokei's spine.

The puppet noticed instantly when Tokei transferred his attentions from himself to the newest spawn, Raijin. The conflict and interest was clearly written on the Tenshi's face. It almost made him laugh.

Tokei knew he was being replaced, but why was what made the puppet smirk. Tokei was weak. He had been with the rag-tag Tenshi group too long. Knew everything about them, every single one of them, and yet… he refused to attack them. He had grown emotionally attached. That's what made the so called Tenshi weak. Besides that, he wasn't loyal. He was finding ways all the time to break away.

The puppet's sinister smirk grew. Sure the idiot knew how to fight. He knew how to regenerate and knew how to shatter lives. He knew incredible battle plans and learned from the Tenshi's mathematics and astrology and such.

But what actually made the spawn weak was his emotions and obsessions. Tokei wasn't supposed to fall for the wretch that everyone else fell for. He was immune to love. So instead his became an obsession. A minor flaw and thus Raijin was created. It took Naraku a bit more time than expected, but Raijin was going to be the perfect spawn.

He would not seek freedom as the others have, besides Kanna, but instead he would gain freedom. Unlike Tokei, clock of time, and Kagura, sorceress of the wind, he could gain his freedom. Raijin, God of Thunder, would reign supreme beside Naraku and be so much more than a mere spawn. Because all in all, Raijin was perfect.

She walked through the unrelenting winds and harsh rains. The muddied ground was starting to become hard to walk through. The glowing lights around her aloud her to make it to the famous Central Castle. She would be there soon and just as soon allow things to unfold her way for once.

For once that miserable woman wouldn't get in the way. For once, she could rest easy.

If things went her way of course.

xx

Kagome raced down the hallways. She could sense Sesshomaru's lingering inner youkai in the area around her. She hoped against all hopes that Sesshomaru wouldn't push her away. That he wouldn't make her leave him.

She had to try though; she was willing to help him, if he'd let her. Her heart pounded in her head and through her body and her blood rushed quickly through all her veins. She stopped as she came along a large door. She could tell it had been opened as of late due to the large amounts of water on the lovely marble floors.

Taking a deep breath, she mentally prepared herself for the cold she knew was to come, and opened the large excuse for a door. The freezing winds rushed through her body almost chilling her on instant. Stepping out to the cold unyielding winds and water she closed the large door behind her.

Searching, she noticed she couldn't see anything past a few feet in front of her. Lifting her head she noticed the clouds were a pitch black and the moon had obviously disappeared behind them. Lowering her face from the sting of water she took off her heels and started for were Sesshomaru's aura was.

As she neared the Great Youkai Lord of the West she could make out a Shidarezakura tree. A cherry tree with long drooping branches, for it was also known as the weeping cherry tree. There against the trunk was Sesshomaru resting against the long trunk.

Sesshomaru had always managed to take her breath away; his hair flew about him in intricate designs. His eyes were closed as the rain raced down his face and body. His clothes stuck to him like a second skin as he sat there motionless. His left leg was spread out in front of him as his right was bent at the knee and was holding up his right arm.

She took a cautious step forward and he turned his head to her. His eyes pierced her soul and she almost turned away but she took another step forward and was enveloped by the long branches of the Shidarezakura.

Sesshomaru watched her every nervous movement. The rain had done hell to her dress making it tighter and slicker making her look more like a nymph than an innocent Tenshi. Her hair was plastered to her back, shoulders, face, and arms. She had gotten rid of her heels that made her look so much taller.

When she was within a few inches of him she kneeled down beside his thighs. Meeting her questioning gaze he watched but didn't stop the small hand that reached out and moved some locks of hair from his face. Her innocence was bound to her as his youkai was bound to him.

Sesshomaru could sense her obvious anxiety and wished it weren't so but was inevitable. The way they had treated one another earlier that day and the way she knew him in ways no other creature knew him. He began to lift his own hand and the girl, Kagome, pulled her own away and moved to apologize.

Placing two fingers over her mouth he silenced her. "Don't speak." He whispered. The confusion was easily read in her cerulean eyes but she nodded. Sitting down on an uprooted root she studied him.

Liking the feel of her so near he relaxed once again, the Shidarezakura took a lot of the wind's punishment for them but the rain was still able to make it through soaking them all the more.

They sat there in silence for so long Kagome wanted to say so many things, tell him so many things. Her heart sped up at the simple thought that ran through her mind. 'I love him so much. And yet…' Sesshomaru's hand suddenly wrapped underneath her chin forcing her to look into the most beautiful amber eyes.

"I do not know you and yet I yearn for you. I've never met you and yet I'm drawn to you. Who are you?" For a slight moment the Youkai Lord sounded desperate. "What are these feelings you are evoking upon me?" He stood up suddenly startling her. "You prance around in the most improper of clothing and come running to me."

Kagome stood up at the strange onslaught of words, 'What's his problem? I haven't done anything!' Sesshomaru suddenly pushed her up against the large tree trunk, "You. This is what you do to me."

Pressing his lips hard against her own he shoved his tongue into her welcoming mouth not caring to even ask for permission. Pressing his hard, lean body against her soft and curvaceous one and that's when she felt it. His hardness pressed against her stomach and she had no idea how to react to it.

He growled when she pulled her mouth away from his. Sesshomaru was panting into her ear and hair and she was panting off to the side. The wind and the rain splattered her face and on impulse she hid her face the crook of his neck. She could feel Sesshomaru's breath shutter down her neck.

"I-is that your- your …. …." Kagome mumbled against his neck, knowing the TaiYoukai could hear her. Sesshomaru allowed a small smirk place upon his usually stoic face. "My what?" he thrust his hips against her. He could feel her blush and his smirk grew, no matter how small it actually was.

A vision passed his mind…

Sesshomaru watched Kagome, with an extremely strong glare as if he could see through her if he stared long enough.

'Why?' he asked continuously in his mind, 'Why? … damn it, why?' Sesshomaru was about to explode with so many emotions he rarely felt. Jealousy, anger, fear, rejection, a strange urge to kill, to hunt, to show Kagome whom she belonged to.

Sesshomaru hadn't felt true jealousy since Inuyasha was granted Tetsusaiga and not himself. He left his mind blank a moment, 'What a pathetic reason for this Sesshomaru to get jealous over.' Anger, such a strong and over coming emotion, and it had yet again taken over him.

But the last one… …. How would he do that without hurting her? 'It has to be my instinct… has to be.'

He would never intentionally hurt her, never wants to. And yet he knew if she would accept him, he would have to hurt her to claim her. To make it official. All of these was making his inu senses go insane.

'What is this?' Sesshomaru questioned himself as he watched this pass through his mind…. It was like a distant memory. 'Why would I even consider making this Tenshi mine?'

Lord Hayai finally came upon the stage, "Alright, well from what I can tell, that is the end for today! A few challenges have been constructed and so tomorrow there will be a few battles!" the crowd was loud, cheering and chanting stuff about the contestants.

"Hai, at lunch." Sesshomaru said calmly, even though millions of emotions were running through his veins.

Koori gave Kagome a hug and walked out the door with her mate, to Kami knows were.

Sesshomaru lifted his hand to her and she gently grabbed it and she was instantly pulled into the Tai-Youkai's arms.

'This is at the festival…. This festival…. But if so…'

Sesshomaru all but yanked Kagome into his arms, his nose instantly placed itself in her hair and slowly moved down to her neck were her pulse lay. And as he sniffed her pulse and licked it ever so slowly, her pulse quickened and her scent slightly spiked.

Sesshomaru slowly deeply growled at Kagome, his hand now leaving her hand to wrap itself at her waist, yanking her ever so closer to his body. Sesshomaru's head suddenly shot up, his golden eyes sparking something, frightening Kagome slightly.

Sesshomaru was so close that Kagome could feel his warm, heavy breath upon her face. He was…. Panting. Pushing her closer so their hips aligned, Sesshomaru's lips quickly captured hers, yanking her into a passionate, demanding kiss.

Kagome gasped at his sudden roughness and Sesshomaru took all advantage of her open cavern. 'Damn you taste so sweet, My Beautiful One.' Sesshomaru thought ravishing her mouth with his own. Slowly advancing on the silky blue haired Tenshi, Sesshomaru backed Kagome up into one of the chairs they had been sitting in. Kagome was now starting to feel the slight results in which this was doing to Sesshomaru.

Kagome's hands tangled slightly in a mixture of his hair and Sesshomaru's kimono, clinging on to both items tightly. Sesshomaru growled low, incredibly low in his throat, different from the other times they had kissed.

Sesshomaru's teeth, tongue, lips clashed with Kagome's forcing her to almost choke with his extreme forceful kiss. Sesshomaru suddenly bit her lip, not enough to draw blood but enough to make the young girl squeak, and pulled away. His beautiful angelic yet ever so demonic face was still extremely close to her own, and she couldn't back up due to the chair that seemed to be nailed to the ground.

And now Kagome knew for a fact, Sesshomaru was panting. Sesshomaru looked deep into her slightly glazed, partially frightened eyes. Her lips swollen, more than he had ever seen them, her cheeks flushed from the slight lack of breath and from the force of the amazing kiss.

The tightness upon his kimono was starting to wrinkle do to her hands. His arm around her waist didn't loosen the slightest bit either, and both of their hips were still aligned pushed hard together. Kagome's bottom was on the top of the chair and her feet had left the ground in turn to fit with him.

Why had he been so displeased with what she did? Why did he wish to show her who was in control, who was the dominant in the relationship?

Than he noticed, even though his face was still close, she refused to look at him. Sesshomaru gave her a gentle peck, "Are you ashamed of this Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru questioned the small Tenshi.

Kagome gasped slightly and looked at his intense golden amber orbs. "How could I ever be?" her voice was lower than a whisper, still slightly panting. Sesshomaru placed his forehead against hers, he was silent a moment as he allowed her to catch her breath. As soon as her breath was normal again, Sesshomaru slightly grinded against her, causing her to gasp and start panting again.

Sesshomaru smirked slightly, seeming to like this reaction, he continued his small grinding motions against his Kagome. She gasped again and her grip on him tightened. His smirk only seemed to grow, "Tell this Sesshomaru, do you like this? Do you like the feel of this Sesshomaru against you?" his voice deep lower than usual, almost huskier.

Kagome's blush intensified slightly as she closed her eyes, "Will I sound horrible if I answered your question?" Kagome asked gently her voice still barely louder than a whisper. "It's only me here. You can answer without sounding horrible to me anytime." His grinding motions intensified slightly. And Kagome's gasps only grew, "It's different, odd, but I-I like it-t."

Sesshomaru smirked pulling her into another kiss as he grinded against her virgin body. Kagome moaned slightly, her arousal spiked and Sesshomaru became the slightest bit harder, trying to keep his inner self down. "Good." He mumbled into the passionate kiss.

Gasping, he pulled away from Kagome and she stumbled falling against the tree. The confusion had reentered her eyes and fear as well. Obvious fear for the way he had reacted earlier this day to her touch.

"What was that?" he asked, harshness had mixed with his voice, to hide his… fear. Kagome narrowed her eyes, "What was what?" her voice was soft and gentle.

Sesshomaru looked frightened, though no other would have noticed, and clearly he was upset. Kagome reached out and touched his cheek gently bringing his lips gently to her own. Enfolding the TaiYoukai in her arms she felt his shudder of anxiety. He slowly wrapped his single arm around her waist and the kiss remained chaste.

Pulling away Sesshomaru placed his forehead against her own, "We have been in this position before, haven't we?" his voice was husky and almost unrecognizable in his own ears. Smiling Kagome blushed, "Yes… except," she was interrupted by Sesshomaru, "On the balcony."

Kagome gave him a brilliant smile, "You remember!" Sesshomaru closed his eyes, "That is all I remember. Us on the balcony…. And seething jealousy and rage." Kagome pulled her forehead away and looked deeply into his eyes, "Jealousy and rage?" Sesshomaru nodded, "I know not why."

Kagome narrowed her eyebrows in concern and shivered. Sesshomaru unconsciously brought her close and wrapped her in his arms, protecting her against the wind and rain. Kagome sighed, "I miss you…." Sesshomaru buried his nose in her hair trying hard to ignore the comment.

Bankotsu snarled, this was beyond ridiculous. The rain, the wind, the damned storm! None of his group were pleased with the outcome of the weather. Especially Ginkotsu the half metal man was trying his hardest to keep up but Bankotsu had a feeling he was going to rust.

Bankotsu kept himself from laughing, which would have been amusing if it were anyone besides Ginkotsu. Ginkotsu, after all, was his brother in a matter of speaking. He looked behind him, none of his group looked very pleased with the weather.

"Keep a look out for a cave of some sorts!" he yelled over the high winds. "C-c'mon brother, I don't like this one bit!" Jakotsu whined/stated, it was hard to tell which on he was doing seeming as his voice was high as it was and it was hard to hear of the wail of the wind and pounding of the rain.

If the storm would let up they could make it to the castle within a day… or so. Bankotsu mentally shrugged if Jakotsu and the rest would shut up he could concentrate easier on the surroundings.

Tsurai sat himself down at his drums. Pulling the sticks out he readied himself for whatever song Tachi-mora chose. Looking across the large area he was surprised at how excited these people were.

Turning his eyes towards the Dark Tenshi, Tachi-mora, he awaited the song. Tachi-mora turned after turning on the CD player, "How about…." The leader ran through a bunch of lyrics that Kagome had recorded. "Hmm…. Ah! This one! What's Left of Me…. Whoa, this songs by that fag?!"

Both Shinai and Mizu hit Tachi-mora over the head, "He's not a fag!" Tachi-mora scoffed, "Whatever…"

"Take what's left of this man…. Make me whole once again!" Tachi-mora finished up the song. Mizu and Shunusuke danced like common teenagers, proving to the whole of the people that dancing like this was much easier.

Playing a few more songs, Tachi-mora was really the only one not to have danced yet. Gathering what was left of his guts he told the group to play, 'Far Away,' by Nickelback.

"This time, this place, misused, mistakes. Too long, too late, who was I to make you wait? Just one chance, just one breath, just in case there's just one left. Cause you know, you know…." Tachi-mora started.

Together Tachi-mora and Shunusuke sung, "I love you, I've loved you along. And I miss you, been far away for far too long, I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go. Keep dreaming cause I'm not leaving you anymore, Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore…."

Tachi-mora stepped a bit away from the stage and allowed Shunusuke to sing the next part, "On my knees I'll ask last chance for one last dance, cause with you I'd withstand all of it to hold your hand. I'll give it all, I'll give for us, if anything but I won't give up. Cause you know, you know, you know….

"I love you, I've loved you along, and I miss you, been far away for far too long, I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go. Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore."

Nodding his head to the other two Tenshi's Tachi-mora jumped down and towards the table that held Lord Hayai, Lady Amaya, Kioshi, and Kaminari. As the other two sang, "So far away, so far away, been far away for far too long…." Tachi-mora grabbed Kaminari's clawed hand within his own, "Kaminari will you dance with me?"

Kaminari blushed and nodded, "Lord Hayai, Lady Amaya, may I dance with your daughter?" Lord Hayai busted out laughing but nodded and Lady Amaya smiled sweetly, "Go before your song ends."

Grasping Kaminari's hand he led her back up the stage where he wrapped his arms around her waist and she enfolded him within her arms, "But you know, you know, you know…." Shunusuke began before Tachi-mora took over, looking straight into Kaminari's large green eyes.

"I want it, I wanted you to stay. And I need it, I need to hear you say….

"I love you, I loved you along, and I forgive you, for being away for far too long. So keep breathing cause I'm not leaving you anymore. Keep believe it, hold on to me, never let me go."

And Shunusuke finished the rest of the song with Tachi-mora. Reaching down Tachi-mora pecked Kaminari on the nose before waving at Lord Hayai.

Singing some more songs and keeping Kaminari in his arms he allowed Shunusuke and Mizu to have a solo, You Got It Bad by Usher. The main part that had a lot of the youkai screaming and shouting, though it was a slow part was, "All the people who know what's going on look at your mate and help me sing my song saying, I'm your man you're may girl I'm gonna tell it to the whole wide world. Ladies say I'm your girl you're my man, promise to love you the best I can…"

Mizu and Shinai began singing shortly after, Anywhere by Evanescence than they gave up. They had played for three hours straight and it was now 5 o' clock in the morning. Tachi-mora was beat and he was sure the rest of his band was as well.

I think I'm going to end it there…. It took me forever but I really liked this chapter!

Just a couple reminders:

Hisui, Naraku, Kane, and Tokei took Sesshomaru's memory of Kagome and Rin.

There are some flaws because Hisui isn't as strong as Sesshomaru even with the Jewel Shard.

Kane is the Southern Ladies Nephew Hisui is the Niece.

This Fanfiction will be re written as soon as I finish it in about 5 or 6 chapters.

I think that covers a lot of this!!
