Pairing

Summary

: He was a demon and it was natural that he ached to corrupt her purity so completely and thoroughly that she would never be able to flee the darkness and so corrupt her he did.

Aching Darkness
Chapter Eleven: Unexpected Visitations

x . . . . x

Inuyasha didn't think Sebastian would really go as far as to follow them to their hotel and wait for the perfect moment to snatch Kagome up. Yeah she was pretty and all and damned pure too but really? Stalking her to a hotel? They were best friends and she was no Helen of Troy. Kagome on the other hand did not put it past the demon – after all, when they wanted something? They went after it with a vengeance and normally they got what they wanted… not that she would give in but still. It was only when three days passed with her cooped in the hotel that she finally relaxed and stopped sleeping with her lamps running all evening.

She had refused to be in any sort of darkness.

On her fourth evening she received a visitor.

It wasn't the visitor she expected but it was a visitor none the less.

Shadows were cast along the walls of the room from the light of the moon that shown through the windows. Razor sharp teeth were revealed as pale lips were pulled into a smile that seemed too large for the face they inhabited. Crimson hair fell – redder then blood – fell down in straight waves brushing the back of the effeminate male's knees. His golden eyes glowed curiously in the darkness, catching light and reflecting it back eerily. Gone was the crimson jacket normally worn off his shoulders and the dark brown vest and instead remained the tight white long sleeved shirt, the black pants, and his ever present heeled boots tucked beneath said black pants. A gloved hand was brought to sharped teeth and they clung to the tip of his pointer finger, tugging lightly; the same attention was given to the other hand and he peeled away his gloves.

He toed lightly to the bed, sitting at the edge as he leaned over the sleeping miko.

The male licked his lips and leaned forward, lips caressing her cheek.

He moved those sharpened teeth to the lobe of her and nibbled lightly.

Slowly, he spoke, softly whispering in her ear, "Miko, miko on the bed, how will they hear you scream if you are dead?" Cerulean eyes snapped open and she moved to sit up by a large pale hand slammed her back onto the pillows. Kagome narrowed her eyes as the male chuckled.

"Grell, you ass, what do you want?" she snapped harshly.

The shinigami poked out an overly long tongue between his teeth and ran it along the swell of her cheek, "I heard you've been having some trouble, dearie, and came to offer my assistance."

Kagome scoffed, "I just bet you did." She muttered petulantly, eyes shifting in his direction. He smirked, snapping his teeth together playfully. "This isn't the first time this week I've been pinned to a bed."

"Oh! How exciting! I bet little Kago enjoyed that, hmm?" he inquired with an arched crimson brow. "Some sexy man pinning you beneath him with all the intent of wanting to touch you intimately." His voice was a low purr and Kagome had a constant wonder on how his voice could go to vaguely feminine to low and masculine within seconds. "Mmm and my Sebby surely is a beautiful one, no? All that luscious darkness coming off him in waves of power." Grell shuttered, his eyes fluttering close. "What I wouldn't give to get that one."

Kagome made a face of disgust, "Grell – I don't need the mental images." She murmured, cheeks pink with a soft hue.

Grell's chuckle was almost seductive, "Ahh – you could join. Be in the middle of that sandwich. I top for no one but for the Shikon Miko? I'd gladly top you. So much power you have and oh to be in the midst of you and Sebby. Dearie, it'd be a power struggle during that storm. His darkness devouring your purity – tainting you ever so slightly – while your purity attempts to fight him off. The high of that would be marvelous and affect anyone involved and I do want to be involved." His lips moved to her neck where used his teeth to pull down the collar of the night dress. His lips pressed softly against the creamy flesh of her exposed throat.

"I have never been mauled so much and frequently in my life." She muttered with a low growl, "I don't know whether to be flattered or pissed off."

"I would go with pissed off – I delight in seeing you flushed with anger, sweetums." Kagome scoffed but she was used to this from Grell – he was pushier then Miroku and took many liberties but he had a stopping point and by now it no longer bothered her and she grew tired of hitting him, purifying him, and all around hurting him a decade back or so and so as long he never went too far with the liberties she allowed him, he was for the most part allowed to maul her and if she was honest with herself – she secretly enjoyed when the reaper visited her. With Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, Shippo, and occasionally Kouga she was lucky if any male even so much as looked her way considering how prominent the four were. Plus – Grell was harmless.

He was there at her first death; a thief had pinned her, killed her, and took her valuables. He was the one to play her cinematic record and was in awe by how she had lived and was surprised when he couldn't reap her soul. She was one of the few and he had taken an immediate liking to her. His liking was predatory from the start due to the attraction to her purity and power. It was a game to him and eventually his mentality changed and he became a friend of sorts. He teased her relentlessly, provided her with information when she needed it, and generally did odd jobs for her or Sesshoumaru because according to Grell, "Sesshy is simply to die for and when I say die – I mean literally! Look at those deadly claws! Mmm – yummy!"

His hand dipped between her cleavage and she sent him a glare as she pushed his hand from her breasts and attempted to the push away the one holding her head in its current position. He allowed her to push both away but then he came back with a vengeance, fingers caressing her sides, lips suckling her neck, looking at her through half lidded eyes. She sharply hissed his name, "Grell!" And he stopped in his exploration, standing, straightening, and looking at down her with hazy eyes.

"One day you'll give into me, lover, and that will be that. You're the only woman I have wanted and I will have you." He said it to her every time and each time she rolled her eyes. "I said I had come to help you and I really wanted to but this rejection?" he dramatically clutched his heart, turning away from her. Her lips twitched and she had to admit that his dramatics allowed her a reprieve from some of the more monotonous parts of life. "It has become too much and I will instead offer my help to my darling Sebby!" As his dramatics increased, his voice became more femininely pitched. He turned to face her, the faux hurt clear on his face though his eyes danced with malicious mirth. "And then, little Kago, you will stand no chance and I will have killed to birds with one stone." He began to melt away from her vision, disappearing completely from the room. She scowled and clenched her fists as his voiced echoed through the room, a whisper on the wind, "Both my darling Sebby and you."

She fell back on her bed with another growl, a deep scowl, and a weary sigh.

Was she ever going to sleep soundly?

'Gome Yuki:: Because I think Grell is sexy and it would add much more fun to the mix. I have been getting many questions on why Maleficent Descent and Aching Darkness are on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. AD is more of a 'follow-the-plot-of-manga/anime' ficlet with some minor changes here and there and MD is more of my 'Fuck everyone that gives Sebastian a heart' ficlet. MD is basically a story that is the true nature of the demon and AD is more of the demon we come to love in the manga/anime. I hope that clears everything up :3 Kissus! Reviews are love and give me incentives to make updates. I apologize for the delay - life kills me!
