Pairing

: Sebastian/Kagome

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 Seventeen: Too Long

He cut her bindings and she sagged with relief as she began to move her arms to remove the stiffness in her joints. Sebastian stared down at her apathetically and she frowned because this was better behavior concerning his kind – he was acting more like a true demon rather than the lust-struck creature from before.

She glanced up, cerulean hues inquiring when she asked, "Where is Inuyasha?"

Sebastian tilted his head to the side as he crouched in front of her his thin, sensual lips inches from her own, "What makes you think he came?" he questioned, ruby orbs glittering.

Kagome scoffed, "As if he wouldn't." and in her voice there was a conviction that made Sebastian wonder about their relationship once more. A squeal caught their attention and Kagome glimpsed scarlet before Sebastian pushed from her view and she was engulfed in warm arms and pressed against a warmer body. Kagome breathed deep and the scent of blood that clung to the man before her was familiar. "Grell." She murmured gently as his cheek nuzzled against hers.

"My poor little Kago!" he called his hands moving along the bumps and bruises tenderly when he pulled away. Unlike Sebastian – Grell was not a demon and therefore prone to different emotions. "My sweet!" he pouted, touching her swelling eye. "You look ravishing in my color but this is not acceptable!" he screeched pointing to the dried blood that covered her form.

Kagome smiled patiently as she touched the hand running through her raven locks, "Grell, I'm fine."

Sebastian's lips curled into a grin, "You look half dead mi'lady."

A gruff voice called, "The half-alive part can still kick your ass."

Grell was pushed aside and Sebastian was pushed away for the second time as Inuyasha appeared before her, his violet hues moving over her form. They darkened at every bruise, every cut. "I'm alright, Inuyasha." She stated to her longtime companion.

Blood covered his hand and stained the claws that he revealed to be on each hand and he shook his head, "You're hurt."

Kagome shrugged and smiled, "But I'm not dead this time."

Inuyasha returned her smile though his was strained, "No, not this time."

Sebastian glared at the two and as he was debating on whether to kill the hanyou or not, the miko turned to both he and Grell and softly stated, "Thank you for coming to save me… you didn't have to."

But Sebastian did have to.

Her purity sung to him the sweetest siren song and he could not deny the call for long.

Once upon a time he would raped her – he had been on this plain for too long if he considered that 'bad form'.
