Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
Words 5,500
I decided to write the rest in a third person so you could see every ones perspective I found that it is becoming increasingly important for this fiction.
"She had her sister back, now if only she had her best friend."
Hunger like no other burned and coiled inside the pit of their stomachs.
Silky, inky black hair laying weakly on her hands and knees, she moaned with pain and pleasure. Arching her slender, curvaceous figure as silky, straight hair unceremoniously rasped the beads of perspiration on her warm back.
"Good, girl," came a silky, dark baritone voice. He entered her swiftly, powerfully; it made her moan louder with raw passion and lust.
"Your mine."
Earlier that day . . .
She had spent the day in the gardens, away from the stress of her strange unusual life. She breathed deeply while she scanned over the terrain, She had always found that demons where a miracle in themselves, but never had she stopped to think about the plant life that dwell on this familiar but foreign planet. She looked at the flowers that wrapped around the tall green hedges, there where tall ones and small ones, there were some that where ordinary like the tulips and the roses.
But there were also some that were, not so ordinary like the sunshine flower; it was tall, as tall as herself. The pale green stem was as thick as three of her fingers and the petals where deep mustard yellow with swirls embedded deep into the more ripe ones. The center of the flower was dark, round and glowing a dark glow.
While this flower had no special ability other that the fact that it mimicked the sun -setting during the night and rising during the day- There where others such as the pale moon light flower this flower was white like its name and blossomed only when the moon was up but it only let out its stars during the full moon. The stars had special healing proprieties, so the healers here harvested them and used them for the medicine.
The sulaza tulip was more or less very important it could foretell the future by using astronomy, when they got the message they whispered it to the singing sakura trees and they gave the message to the lord of the lands. Azalea flower was her favorite, it did not even look like a flower more like a celestial being it had silver, silk, glowing ribbons that flowed fluidly in place. Although she was not sure what proprieties it had she did know that it healed you she had once touched it despite Sesshomaru's warnings not to and it healed her battle scars.
It left her unexpectedly powerful as well. Her power escalated to heights she never thought she could reach. She smiled to herself as she remembered the look on Sesshomaru's face when she sparred with him; though she had lost it was clear that he hadn't expected her sudden burst in skill. It had been 2 weeks since Inuyasha and the others came, and every day she had hid here. It was all too much the stress of this life was eating her away, she found the gardens calming it was her escape.
She tried to remember her life before the well, a simpler time where her life had revolved around her silly human dramas. She would take years' worth of Hojo's persistence and constant bantering than live her life right now, her thoughts where at a sudden halt when she remembered her reason for being her in the first place, her children, both of them where her life and with them in the equation all her previous thoughts held no real meaning. With them in the equation she would take an eternity of torture from both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru there was not a doubt in her mind.
It still amazed her how much love an adoration she felt for them, she always knew the love of a mother was unconditional but she never realized the extent of that love, it was more powerful than anything she had ever experienced in fact it was so great that a mere cry from there innocent lips, made her cringe in pain. She never wanted to live a day without them in her life, now that she met them she knew there was no way in the world or universe that she could live without them, and as insane as the thought sounded, not even God could take them from here.
She heard the familiar crunching of the crisp grass it was a clear indication that someone was on their way. She spent a moment taking her robe and covering her exposed body, in this time bathing suits were not exactly appropriate in this era. She kept my eyes closed as she lay on the ground the moisture from the grass had seeped into her robe, making her skin wet and cool. The sun was bright in the sky which made it painful to look up at her afternoon intruder.
"Miko" It only took one word to make her eyes snap open, one word to make her heart race to an unreasonably fast pace, she could feel her blood rush to her cheeks, her pulse thumped loudly against her skin. Her eyes where suddenly heavy, his presence made her weak 'since when did I allow him to have this kind of effect on me?'' She thought to herself she was almost disgusted by her lustful reaction.
"What Demon?" She said mocking his unfair, prejudice choice of words. She smirked defiantly at him, but he did not smirk back. "Woman you will address me with my proper title." He snapped suddenly and her it was plain and clear that he was most definitely not in the mood for her games.
"What do you want lord Sesshomaru, other than to try and desperately mess up my day?" He had been aggravated and edgy ever since the appearance of his half-brother Inuyasha, he and kagome had not been intimate since Inuyasha had arrived at the castle, and he was not dealing with the pent up frustrations to well. "We are having company this evening so you have to bathe and dress for tonight. The lord of the north and his son are coming by for a visit, so behave I do not want them knowing I have chosen a mate is this understood?" She glared at him before taking a deep breath and standing up.
"You are very well understood my lord." She said as she shrugged off her robe letting it fall gracefully at her feet. She watched as his eyes followed her every limb trailing to her stomach and collar bone. She walked passed him slowly brushing his arm for good measure. "I guess I will have to get a tan later on this week since, I am needed I guess." She smiled at him weakly before walking into the castle. She heard the whispers and the stares and the occasional broken or dropped dish. But her pace did not falter and she dared not look back.
While walking down the hall she caught the attention of the very person she had been avoiding these couple weeks. "Inuyasha." she whispered desperately wishing she had a robe on instead of the skimpy two piece bathing suit that barely hung from her body. "Kagome" He said almost shyly. She kept walking picking up her pace to a slightly faster one. Until she felt his hand on her wrist, she stopped but refused to look at him.
"Listen I know your mad at me and I realize now how wrong I was to say those things to you I am sorry, if it wasn't for me none of this would have happened, if it wasn't for my stupidity then I would probably have gotten you pregnant and those would be my kids not Sesshomaru and I know you might never want to talk to me again but I love you I always will Kagome." He looked at her his eyes where open and sincere.
"Look I know you regret it but that didn't take away that you said it and it hurt, I mean I waited for you for three years only to find you running behind my back every chance you got! I really need to think things through because the truth is I love you and I know Sesshomaru doesn't like that and right now I am not even sure I do but the facts are the facts, so Inuyasha you are forgiven ... to a certain extent." she said as she grimaced, she spoke truthful words and that's what hurt her the most.
"I love you too!" He whispered as he hugged her close to him. She sighed as she breathed him his familiar forest sent. "I have to go Inuyasha see you in a few." She walked away not looking back scared that she would succumb to another one of his wishes. The halls where busy with servants they were dusting and cleaning replacing old furniture with new. She walked past them until she reached her room.
In her room three maids where waiting, "my lady we have been instructed to help you get dressed." The eldest of the three said. She was round and dark her gray wiry hair was sticking out in every which way. The younger one next to her was middle aged and only had a hint of gray hair she was a pale olive, her eyes a dazzling green. And the youngest was clearly older than Kagome but she was young enough to look like she where in her 20's her hair was blond and straight it looked like it where spun from gold and her eyes where a light brown she looked sweaty like she had been working in the gardens.
"Well you can tell him that I do not need any assistance!" she said defiantly a little annoyed that Sesshomaru thought she could not get dressed on her own. "M' lady we must help you! Please do us the honor." The youngest one said with pleading eyes. "What is your name, if I may ask" Kagome said sitting on the edge of her bed. "Of course you may ask you can do whatever you like, my name is Rukia and this is my mother Mia and the older woman is the head servant her name is Mamoe but we call her Ma." Kagome took a moment to remember their names.
She got up slowly from her bed and approached the three maids. "I will allow you to help me with one condition!" she said with a serious face before breaking into a soft smile. "Please call me Kagome this lady crap is stupid you guys are older than me you should receive some respect, so if you call me that then you can assist me in any way you wish to, though I strongly disagree I am a grown woman and I'm sure you have better things to do then help me change." she said crossing her arms.
The maids nodded with a flush adorned on their face and got right to work bathing and dressing there lady. "So Rukia how old are you?" Kagome asked curiously, Rukia looked at her in surprise before looking down. "I am 25 summers," she said shyly. "And if I may speak freely, you are quiet odd; I have never met a lady of any land that has ever taken so much interest and given so much respect to her servants."
The elder of the group shot her a fierce look making her drop her head in shame. "No please don't be ashamed I admire that you speak your mind, and yes I am a little odd because I don't think I'm greater than you in fact if you were to ask me I would say that you are the ones that are more admirable then me!" Kagome said while walking toward them.
"You run this place, I mean I don't see a man running this place as smoothly as you do I mean come on I have yet to see one wilted flower, or a speck of dirt in a place it shouldn't be, and to a man these accomplishment's don't seem like much to them it is the "Role of a woman." but I think that you deserve to be waited on once in a while you guys are awesome!" Kagome said while bowing before them they looked at her adoringly before they took her to get ready, not a word was said but they all were left baffled.
Kagome stood there in her dress with a sour look on her face, she never did like the old Japanese dresses in fact she despised them. "Hey guys ... will one of you get me a knife?" She said mischievously. With a timid look on her face Rukia handed her a small cutting knife, Kagome started to shed some of the bulky inner layers leaving just the slip and the outer layer. Swiftly taking the knife she cut the while top half of the kimono leaving her shoulders bear with two silver silk straps wrapped around her neck, she left the black bow in the back but cut the belt to hang limply in the middle she let the sides flare but took in the bottom half.
Her hair was up in a messy bun decorated with black and silver sticks and chains. Her makeup was light but she wore traditional red lipstick. She dumped the wooden sandals for some black ones of her own. The maids looked at her in shock when she was finished {People It was hard to describe I know but here's a url to the dress I made a pitiful attempt to try and describe. h t t p : / / s g o o d b y e . f i l e s . w o r d p r e s s . c o m /2 0 0 8 / 1 2 / s g - t o n i g h t - c o p y . j p g}
"Lady Kagome what have you done" the elder woman said after examining what she had done to her dress. "Nothing much, snipped a few things here and there what do you not like it?" Kagome asked with a smirk. They couldn't deny that it was beautiful so they choose to stay quiet. There want time to change anything so they crossed their fingers and let her have her way.
Kagome took a deep breath before stepping out into the main hall she could hear a distant chattering coming from behind the wooden doors, her hands were shaking. Why did Sesshomaru want her there anyways, I mean he didn't want anyone to know who she was but he didn't want to hide her away, all she wanted to do as of this moment was find her kids and hide away. 'Damn it if Sesshomaru wants me there might as well piss him off in the process.' Kagome thought, and the fashion of her dress would defiantly piss him off. With a boost of confidence she stood tall and proceeded to walk through the doors.
Sesshomaru was anything but social, he knew this people knew this, so why did these fools continue to come to his person in some attempt for a conversation. Sickening all these people smelling up his house, if it wasn't for the need of this gathering, these people would never step foot through his door, but he was a lord and it was tradition that he house the other nobles and lords if need it be. As of this moment he was in a chair trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, 'Where is that girl?" Sesshomaru thought, she was late. She was supposed to be here thirty minutes ago.
The wench! Anger burned through his veins, he housed her and allowed her to live, he kept her happy and fed, and this is his repayment out right disobedience?
It was at that moment that the door opened and out emerged the Miko. He could kill her, he stood from his chair as everyone in the room stopped in place no one said a thing, Kagome walked through the doors to see every face on her. Mortified. There was no other word, her confidence hid behind her shame and embarrassment. Maybe her outfit was a bit over exposing, and maybe this whole ploy to annoy Sesshomaru would end up biting her in the ass.
"Who is she?"
"What is she wearing?"
She heard the whispers as she walked down the hall. It was embarrassing but there wasn't anything she could do about it now. Sesshomaru looked cold as usual but his eyes held some kind of ice more than usual it frightened her. So she walked in the opposite direction of him right into a guy. "Oh I'm so sorry are you all right?" she said looking up at the man she stomped all over. "No please I'm OK." The man said with a dazzling smile, he was tall but not as tall as Sesshomaru.
His eyes where blue and purple his hair a midnight black. His skin and deep olive tone he was thicker than Sesshomaru and his eyes where kinder he had a star on his forehead it was midnight purple. "Wow." Kagome said talking in his appearance. "Wow yourself, if I may I have never seen a woman, human no less as beautiful as you, you are truly stunning." He said making her cheeks flush a rosy pink. "Please I must know your name you beautiful creature." His smile was hypnotizing absolutely stunning. "Kagome." she answered shyly. "Please join me at my table Kagome." He said her name with adoration while taking her hand and bringing it to his soft sultry lips.
She couldn't say much of anything he was just so beautiful it took her breath away. His eyes where dreamy, alluring, mesmerizing, sexy? Was there a single word that would describe just how cute he was? No. She felt his large hand envelope her own tiny one it sent shocks throughout her body. She was so focused on his presence next to her; she didn't realize until too late that they were headed right into Sesshomaru's direction. 'Damn' Kagome thought as she looked down and away from the lord's gaze, "Come my fair maiden sit."
He looked at her fiercely before turning his attention to the northern lord. "It is time for the festivities to move on to a different portion of the night." Sesshomaru excused himself from the table to announce the next event for the rest of the guests.
"Are you OK Kagome?" The man asks with as strange sense of familiarity and comfort. "You know, I never even learned your name." Kagome said questioningly. "Yes, yes please forgive my rudeness; my name is Akito lord of the northern lands." Kagome was shocked to find that he was the reason for this gathering him of all people was the one she found absolutely irresistible. It was that point that Sesshomaru made his return his heated gaze once again returned to the girl before him. "Kagome I know this may sound a bit sudden but I must know if you have a mate or intended on marrying someone."
Sesshomaru went ridged when his eyes met Kagome's for a moment she looked as if she would tell but she didn't instead she said "I can honestly say there is no one that neither wants me nor interest me at this moment more than you." Kagome was not the type to flirt so boldly but the heat of rejection from Sesshomaru left her vengeful and alone, Akito seemed nice enough, who knew maybe tonight she finally meet someone in her life who wanted her back.
"Sake for the table my lord." said a servant with a swift nod everyone was drinking toasting in celebration of the lords arrival. "More Kagome?" Akito asked her after the third cup. Kagome was never one to drink but she couldn't deny the offer so she nodded her head and drank yet another cup. Her body felt light, her mind was at ease, so when the lord asked her to dance she said yes ignoring Sesshomaru's glare.
She felt his arms wrap around her pressing their body's together creating a comforting warmth and peace, she laid her head on his shoulder and slowly drifted with the music. She felt his arms fall around her waist when she pulled her head up to look at him. "You are ..." He left off. "I am what?" She said shyly. "You are there are no words to describe your beauty it's a wonder I never saw you before tell me angle from what part of heaven did you fall from?" Her cheeks flooded with pink as she bowed her head in embarrassment. "Please I bet you say that to every girl you talk to."
"No it is the truth, you are something Kagome." and that's how the majority of the night went between the two, the talked about interest and dislikes, they stared into each other's eyes drinking, and eating, tonight she wasn't Kagome, she was a woman, mysterious, sexy, desired, she was miss hard to figure out.
As they went to join Sesshomaru at the table once again no one expected these chains of events to occur.
- Ok this is kind of out of character for him to be talking so rashly and human but it is necessary to see a change in his character and this is way I thought was best portrayed so forgive me but he needs a reminder and a push of how important she is becoming in his life.-
"My beautiful maiden-"
"Maiden, she is anything but." A deep baritone voice rang through the table leaving a trail of silence in it ominous wake, all the attention was on the lord of the western lands, all they noticed was the many dozens of bottles displayed before him. It was a clear case of intoxication. "Excuse me?" Akito asked.
"She is no virgin of any sort; I would suspect that a girl who happens to be the mother of not one but two children would not be a virgin of any type." Sesshomaru said his voice cold and hurtful. Kagome was at an awe her heart stopped as she looked at the demon before her. Rage surged threw her all she could do was sit there frozen in shock. "Is this true?"
"Yes." She said as tears flooded through her eyes. "Kagome please its OK I accept you, don not cry please." Akito said holding her close trying to wipe the tears from her eyes. "She sat there in stillness completely shell shocked 'How dare he!"
"Yes it is true I have two kids it was unexpected, the father is an idiot who will never be worth my time, they were the only things that made that experience worth something." She knew he was beyond livid he was simmering.
"It's OK we all make mistakes Kagome-"
"Kiss me."
She said suddenly.
"What?" He said baffled.
"Kiss me you accept me so what's stopping you, you know you want to so do it, to night I'm yours." She grabbed his face and kissed him in front of everyone, moaning for good measure.
Two things happened.
Inuyasha let out a possessive growl while Sesshomaru let out one of his own, one moment she was kissing Akito another she was not.
"What the hell?" She said as they both crowded around her. Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha before grabbing Kagome and throwing her over his shoulder.
Everything in the room stilled before Sesshomaru walked out of there with a kicking Miko on his back.
He threw her on the bed before pacing back and forth in the room. She tried to run out of the room but her attempt proved useless. His eyes were red it was obvious she pushed him too far. "Look let me go and met me see my kids." She said from under him trying to get out before he did something they would both regret. "I am tired of you let me go!" She yelled once more before shutting up.
His breath was heavy and eyes clouded with red the mark on his neck was glowing. "Wench I thought I told you never to touch another man!" His voice was loud and rough nothing like his usual cold demeanor. She felt his fangs bite into her neck and all the resistance faded, and in its place was a fire that burned. His hold on her neck was tight and painful. She knew she needed to do something fast or he'd snap her neck off. "Please I went crazy!" She said in a desperate plea.
He sat in silence awaiting her explanation. "OK listens, these couples of weeks have been lonely and unsatisfying I haven't had a man's touch and you didn't bother to take charge so I decided I would get it from someone else." She heard him growl at the comment. "Oh please, I need to feel wanted I can't do this anymore Sesshomaru! I want to have freedom I have needs, needs you can't give me."
His fangs retracted and she found herself in front of an angry dog demon. "You want to feel needed?" She nodded her head shyly.
"I need you Kagome," He said before kissing her lightly.
"I need your mind." He said while kissing her head.
"I need your heart." He said while kissing her left breast.
"I need your body." He said while tracing kisses up and down her person.
"I need you, I don't want to but I do, I refuse to let you leave me you have no choice." He said as he nuzzled her neck. Kagome was lost for words she never expected that from him of all people to be saying these things to her. "No Sesshomaru you don't know what you're saying, you don't want me, just let me go with my kids and you'll never have to hear from us again it will be as if I never existed and you'll never find me, all the burden will be gone and you won't have to worry about hiding me or the kids, please let me go!" Kagome pleaded. she knew that this would never work out and the only reason he was saying this was because he drank too much, she couldn't base her life on what he wanted or needed she wanted to be what he wanted, what he yearned for and she is coming to realize that it's something that will never happen.
"You're not going anywhere." Then he kissed her, it was rough and absolutely sexy. He pulled her hair making her gasp as his lips found the base of her throat. He didn't bother to untie her dress he just sliced right through it leaving her bare and confused, he stared at her for a minute before suckling at her nipple leaving love bites and hickeys everywhere. "What the hell?" Kagome said when he finished her chest. "Shut-up Miko or do I have to shut you up myself?" Sesshomaru said with an arch of his slender brow. "But-"
She was currently tied and gagged to the bed. Her throaty moans muffled by the cloth that currently resided in her mouth. Not that she minded his mouth was taking her to places she couldn't imagine. She couldn't remember why she wanted to leave him in the first place, she felt him flip her over on her hands and knees grabbing roughly at her ebony locks. His throbbing length pressed against her waiting center, and then he entered her.
Hunger like no other burned and coiled inside the pit of their stomachs.
Silky, inky black hair laying weakly on her hands and knees, she moaned with pain and pleasure. Arching her slender, curvaceous figure as silky, straight hair unceremoniously rasped the beads of perspiration on her warm back.
"Good, girl," came a silky, dark baritone voice. He entered her swiftly, powerfully; it made her moan louder with raw passion and lust.
"Your mine." His voice was powerful possessive his pace was picking up greater speed. The next three nights where spent doing just that only to stop for the occasional rest, they didn't sleep or eat. He hid her from the world indulging in her body amazed at how flexible she really was. It was the end of the fourth day when Kagome decided to say something. Pulling the gag from her mouth she leaned on her elbows looking at the demon before her. "I need to eat and take a shower." She was numb from the waist down, her legs hurt, back hurt, everything hurt she just wanted a nice hot bath.
"Go then." Sesshomaru said with a knowing smirk.
"Fine!" Kagome said with a frown. She threw the sheets from her body and leaned over to stand, her body was like jell as she fell to the floor. "Say it." His voice was mocking and all knowing. "Help me OK!" Kagome said with a huff. So he picked her up and carried her to the bathing room joining her in her soak. "You're impossible Sesshomaru." Kagome said with a sigh.
"Explain." He said with a grunt. "Correct me if I am wrong. You need me, but don't want me and as far as your concerned no mans allowed to touch me, you hate me and I hate you but here we are spending four days doing nothing but fucking like animals, you confuse me." She said with a tired sigh.
"Exactly. Come." He said as he held out his hand.
They walked, well he walked she limped into his room and sat on the bed while he took out the jar of pink goo. "Lay back." and so she did. She felt him apply it to her aching parts and some of the pain was relived. "I won't be able to close my legs for weeks." She complained. The pain was gone but she was left with the dull throb of their activities.
"I hate you."
"As do I Miko." He said with a grin.
"So you're in a good mood now this whole week you've been mulling around but now you're happy or as close to happy comes for you." She said with a roll of her eyes.
"You can say that, now if you will excuse me I have things to take care of, this rendezvous has set me behind." Sesshomaru said fully dressed as he walked out of the room.
"Jerk." She yelled with a smile before getting dressed and finding her children.
"Hello loves how you are today!" she cooed at the children when she finally sounds them in the nursery. Apparently that's where they had spent the complete four days of her absence, and in her way of saying sorry she decided to take them to the garden with her, for a day of relaxing and food filled fest and of course she'd take Rin and Shippo. So she picked up her babies and dressed them in light blue summer kimonos. She just wore some of her shorts and a white t-shirt from her bag that Inuyasha got for her. While walking with the two in her arms she bumped into the northern lord. His eyes widen before he looked at her, "There Demon." He said.
"Yes they are, please excuse my behavior last night I assure you it won't happen again now if you'll excuse me." She said as she tried to push past him. "Wait please, why didn't you tell me you were with Sesshomaru?" That stopped her as she froze mid step. "How do you know that?"
"Please I knew the look he gave to his brother was one he would use for a mate, I knew Inuyasha was determined to have you but he gave up so easily, didn't you wonder why? It was because you are his mate and he gave him a warning to back off and being a demon he had too, wait till the council hears of this Sesshomaru the "Great" has taken a mate." "No wait!" Kagome said reaching for his hand. "Why shouldn't I?" he said with an evil grin. "Because-." But before she could utter a single word she heard his voice. "Because if you do you will have to deal with my wrath." There he stood in all his glory, Sesshomaru. "Now step away from my children and my mate."
