prompt: tempest

words: 947

The lightening crossed the sky followed by the loud thunder that shook the land. For those who heard it, it was a sign to finish their tasks for a day in favour to hide in their comfortable beds and wait through the upcoming storm, which was staring to show her nasty side. However, there were few beings that never noticed the changing weather, neither when the hell finally broke out on the outside.

One of those creatures was kneeling in the corner of the spacious dojo, her eyes followed after the pair of the dueling males. Their swords were clashing creating fountains of sparks, every time metal hit the metal, the sounds that followed it were able to drown any thunder outside. Hell, Kagome could swear the sight before was the tempest itself closed between four walls.

The miko shivered slightly as the man's sword met again. However, it was not because of the sound of the cut skin, nor was it the sight of blood that sprouted from the wound. She didn't even noticed when Shujin were pushed away and hit the wall rather hard. No, her eyes were stuck on a one thing in the room, and there was no power on earth that could make her turn from it.

'It' being her boss.

Of course, she knew Sesshoumaru was extremely handsome from the moment she saw him the first time. It was a fact that no one could deny. But even if knowing it and seeing him every day for the last few months she couldn't help but gape at him when she saw him enter the dojo tonight.

The youkai lord was wearing simple dark haori, and the matching hakama, his hairs were pulled up in a high ponytail and even his scowl couldn't prevent Kagome from thinking he looked good enough to eat. She had promptly blushed after thinking that, which she continued to do until now.

Worse thing- her blush was getting even darker, since she noticed that Sesshoumaru's haori was playing peek-a-boo with her, from time to time showing her a glimpse of the hard muscles that were hiding beneath the pale skin of his chest. It made her wish she could run her hands over it, just to feel if they were as hard as they looked.

The girl groaned mentally- she felt like such a horny teenager, and since she wasn't a teenager anymore it was even more embarrassing. She was sure Miroku would be very proud of her, if he saw her now.

The growl that suddenly shook the walls of the dojo took Kagome from her naughty thoughts and her eyes returned to the fight that was taking place before her. Trying her best to concentrate over the fighters, she watched how Shujin was slammed to the ground and she cringed.

Sesshoumaru was certainly proving his deadly perfection, making her poor guard look like a defenceless piece of paper tossed in the wind. It made her heart feel sorry for his pain, but when the silver-haired inuyoukai once again came into her line of vision Shujin was once again forgotten.

Luckily for the fallen tiger the daiyoukai didn't seem to wish to continue their fight since he only stood above him with that blank expression on his face.

"Submit," the lord growled. The other male sighed in relief laying his head on the cold floor.

"Gladly," he replied.

"Hn."

Shujin thanked every kami above for their mercy when he saw how Sesshoumaru sheathed his sword.

"When you recover you may return to your post. I would escort the miko to her quarter," Shujin nodded closing his eyes. He decided to lay on the floor a bit longer, it was so comfortable and cool.. after Sesshoumaru's beating everything seemed to be better thing to do than standing.

So he stayed unmoving on the ground even after the daiyoukai left the room dragging his assistant after him. 'Well,' the guard thought, 'at least I don't have to worry about her.' Kagome was definitely in good hands.

It took Kagome good five minutes to notice that she was moving through the halls of the shiro again. She couldn't blame herself though, when Sesshoumaru turned to her with his haori nearly fully open showing that chest of his, that even Michelangelo couldn't sculpt better, her mind had gleefully shut off, making her unable to think properly.

It was probably better then than now she walked behind him, she could finally shake off the strange haze and ask the question that was nagging her from the beginning of the whole thing.

"What was that all about?" she asked.

"Domination."

"Eh?" she replied dumbly.

"The cat was overstepping his boundaries, he needed to be reminded of his place." Her blue eyes narrowed as she tried to understand his way of thinking, failing miserably.

"I still don't get it," she murmured unhappily.

Unfortunately for her, the lord made no move to explain his action further leaving her to pout at his back. They walked the rest of the way without exchanging one word.

Finally when Kagome was coming to her room, she turned around facing her boss again.

"Please Sesshoumaru-sama, tell me what did you mean," she begged, giving him her best pleading look. Taking mercy on her the daiyoukai replied.

"You work under me miko, you won't submit to anyone else than me and no one would be allowed to dominate you either." Her eyes widened, as her mouth fell open in shock.

"Huh?" she managed to say. He gave her small smirk.

"You are mine," and with that the daiyoukai walked away, leaving the gaping miko to stare at his back.
