Chapter 9: Promises are Meant

With her fingers buried in Sesshomaru's hair, Kagome threw her head back and howled in frustration at having him between her legs. Feeling a long tongue slip inside her body, the demoness growled and tugged hard on his tresses; whimpering when he bit her clit lightly in return. Lifting up his head, her unwanted lover lightly warned, "Unless you want me to bite it off, I suggest you stop pulling and start feeling."

"Sess please no…" she whined; gasping when his mouth gently suckled her sore clit. "Ahh...don't hurt me there."

"Then stop pulling my hair."

"But…"

"Shh. Hush." returning to her dripping entrance, Sesshomaru continued to lap at her folds, the scent of her arousal already turning his mind into a haze.

Though he may have been preoccupied with their current activity, Kagome couldn't stop thinking about what had occurred earlier that day and exactly what it would mean for their upcoming future.

Sesshomaru was getting married, and not to her as she had always secretly hoped. Remembering the mandatory assembly she attended, a shudder ran through her when she recalled the way Inu no Taisho and Kimi looked at the heartbroken woman. They were happy to finally be rid of her.

Feeling the coil of need getting tighter in her abdomen, Kagome turned her head to stare at a nearby wall, moaning in pleasure when she felt him sink two fingers inside her. Over and over he stroked her from the inside, taking care that his claws wouldn't cut her. Engulfing her clit with his mouth he kept a firm grip on the nub, sucking in time with his thrusts. She began bucking her hips up against his mouth, desperately trying to match his movements. "Ahhh…."

The announcement had thrown everybody off, along with the fact that Sesshomaru seemed just as surprised as the rest of the house. One of the four western guardians daughters was to be the bride. Everybody was going to have to work extra hard to ensure things were perfect for his new fiance's arrival in a fortnight. No mistakes would be tolerated.

Which is exactly why a large part of her couldn't believe where they were. She had spent the better part of the day avoiding him only to be literally pulled into the training dojo. How the fight led to her on the ground half naked with a horny dog demon going down on her she was still trying to figure out. Moving her hands to lightly grip his clothed shoulders, Kagome mewled out his name, knowing he liked it best when she submitted. It had the desired effect; switching position, Sesshomaru began to use his fingers to play with her clit, his tongue going back to slip inside of her roughly. Moving it around in small fast circles, he smirked internally when she began to jerk up against his mouth even harder, desperate for him to give her release. "Sess please…."

Her juices freely flowed into his waiting mouth; with each stroke of his tongue giving him more of her delicious essence. Opening his eyes briefly, the edges of his orbs were tinged red with desire, Kagome's scent was turning him bestial. His appendage still buried deep within her womb, Sesshomaru glanced up at her face and saw the beginnings of silver in the corners; her own instincts beginning to take rise. Feelings his eyes on her, she looked down her naked body at him and seeing the desire in his gaze panted out, "More…."

That was all it took. Sitting up; Sesshomaru nearly shredded through his clothes, letting out a grunt when his leaking member was finally free of his pants. He moved Kagome's leg so that it was straddling his hip and grabbing himself he carefully allowed the head of his cock to rub against her core. Trailing it upwards, he ran his slit teasingly over her clit. Slowly going downwards, he continued his sweet torture of her cunt, smearing the entire head of his dick with her wetness. Unable to take any more, with a sharp thrust, he fully entered her womb; swiveling his hips until he liked where he was seated inside her.

When he finally began to move, Kagome wrapped her legs tight around his waist, her palms laid flat against his chest. Slow at first, he allowed her to feel him fully with each drive of his member into her. Feeling her inner muscles twitch, his eyes began to bleed red again; his nose twitching rapidly while he took in her scent. In no time his movements became almost animalistic; a snarl leaving his mouth as his gentleness was overcome by bestial urges.

The entire time they fucked, Kagome only took his member, her body completely yielding to his will. Feeling his fingers searching out her clit, she let out a moan and pulled him forward for a kiss. Roughly crushing their mouths together, the demoness released her hold from around his waist, wrapping her arms around his neck instead. Soon she could feel her end approaching, the juices flowing from her body making it easy for him to slide in and out of her.

As she began to reach completion, one thing was clear, there was no way they could stop doing this, they were too far gone.

Later, with his hair disheveled and his expression tired, Sesshomaru leaned over an equally exhausted Kagome, the remains of their clothes covering them. Staring down into her face, the dog demon sighed. "Kagome I do not want this."

"Neither do I."

"But it is something I cannot get out of, believe me, I have tried."

"Why now all of a sudden?"

"Father thinks it's time….I am their only heir….and our near death experiences haven't helped any either."

"It was one time…."

"We were almost killed by a creature from hell, it only takes one time."

"And now you have to take a guardian's daughter as your mate." closing her eyes, Kagome moved to get away from him, only to feel Sesshomaru's arm wrap around her waist, blocking her escape. "Let me up."

"No." pulling her to him, Sesshomaru forced her to look at his face. "You aren't going anywhere." there was double meaning in his words. Kagome saw them easily.

"Sesshomaru I can't be with you if you belong to someone else. You know how possessive females are; especially ones of nobility," it was a fact that noble women had the hardest time out of anyone when it came to the men they married. The lack of freedom mixed with men's tendencies to wander usually led to the deaths of many females at the claws of their mates, be it concubine or regular house servant. Kagome had heard of Miyako before; rumor had it she was a rare beauty….and completely ruthless.

"I only belong to you and even then only when I choose to do so and the same is true for you."

"I can't…." confessing her feelings was hard for her and Kagome took a deep breath. "Another woman touching you bothers me….I'd go insane."

"No, you won't,"

"Yes, I will."

"No, you won't"

"Yes, I will!" Kagome insisted.

"No, you won't because I have no intention of touching that woman."

"Yea right….."

"I mean it."

"No you don't, the minute you go behind closed doors with her, you'll forget all about me. You're expected to have a family with her; build a legacy, none of that can be accomplished if you have anything to do with me after your mating."

"I will do no such thing."

"Sesshomaru you have to, we can't…." she was halted by the mouth that gently touched hers, catching her off guard with a kiss. "That….won't work…" she panted out though her nether regions were already beginning to throb with need again.

"Hn. That might not….but maybe this will…." keeping his eyes on hers, Sesshomaru roughly bit into his palm, soon filling the air with the stench of blood. "I won't lay a hand on her, I swear it." The blood filled his palm, pooling in the center like a deep red lake. Holding it out to her, he smiled lightly when she did the same with her own hand, turning her palm so that it lay flat against his. Their combined blood dripped along their arms and on the floor though neither paid it any mind. "I promise, I swear on my honor that I will not touch any other woman but you. But you must promise me something in return."

"What?" she asked softly.

"You need to promise that you won't try to abandon me. Ever. No matter how bad things seem; promise me you'll stay."

"That's...a big promise…"

"So is mine, but I will not commit myself to you if you refuse to do the same." his expression looked guarded. He was defending himself in case she rejected him. "Do you promise?"

"I….I do.."

"Say it."

"I promise I won't abandon you."

"No matter how bad it seems."

"No matter how bad it seems," she repeated softly.

Their palms pulsed wildly as their bodies accepted each others blood, the promise written with it working its way into their systems. Soon the vow was sealed and feeling his hand heal over, Sesshomaru removed his palm from hers, clasping her chin with his blood covered fingers. Leaning back down, the dog demon gently kissed Kagome, the blood from their promise silently dripping down her cheek.
