Trap of Darkness
A/N: Welcome back to Trap of Darkness. Thank you to everyone who's followed, favourite and reviewed. This is a joint story with LADY SILVERFOX charita rai who owns Jasmine. I own Akemi and the plot (with SILVERFOX's added ideas), nothing else. We wish we owned Inuyasha but sadly that's just a dream. Well, on with the story. I hope you enjoy and don't forget to leave a review. Thanks!

Akemi wanted to bury herself, deep.
She had not expected to encounter the Taishō siblings, especially not in this human and yōkai rehabilitation school. Given Sesshōmaru's hatred towards the human species, it made sense why he had been enrolled here. Inuyasha's problem was both species, so to be forced to face both of them in a rehabilitation school also made sense. What Akemi couldn't fathom was her bad luck of having to be enrolled at the same time that they happened to be attending the school. Was Fate trying to say something?
She shook that thought aside and focused on her friend squaring up to Sesshōmaru.
I can't believe she actually dared to call him Lord Fluffy. Does she have a death wish? Akemi thought with wide green eyes.
'What do you want?' Sesshōmaru growled out in disgust.
'I don't want anything from you,' Jasmine said cheerily.
Akemi felt fear surge through her as Jasmine dragged her in front of her and before Sesshōmaru's judgemental eyes. His golden slit eyes peered right through her to the very core of her being, stripping her bare and exposing her darkest secrets.
Wouldn't he love that if he was capable of doing that? But Akemi wasn't cowed by him. She did not fear him like everyone else naturally did. No, Akemi feared confronting him after seven hundred years. Her family and her had to leave Japan to return to their home in England to deal with family issues that had arisen. Since then, Akemi's been unable to return until recently. It wouldn't surprise her if Sesshōmaru, Inuyasha and Tōga-ō all believed that she and her family were dead. It was the truth when it concerned the rest of her family, being the sole survivor of the massacre of her House. It had taken seven hundred years to restore it to the glory it was now.
'Go on,' Jasmine encouraged giving Akemi a little push.
Akemi said nothing but watched his reaction.
His nostrils barely moved as he took in her scent. His eyes widened a fraction as the scent of a dog yōkai assaulted him. But that wasn't all, a very familiar burst of berry, beneath an overtone of apple, infiltrated his nasal cavities and tore through barriers without him knowing. Something tugged at his mind but he was unable to grasp it. It was strange how all of a sudden her gem green eyes looked familiar. But for the life of him he could not remember seeing such clear green eyes. So why was both his mind and his beast stirring at seeing her? He could even hear his beast whining and feel it pulling to be closer to her.
'Don't just stand there!' Jasmine said irritated to Akemi. 'Say something to him!'
Akemi's cheeks slightly flushed and she looked away, an action that reminded Sesshōmaru of someone he once knew.
Akemi turned her back to him and raised her hands to her chest. 'I…can't,' she whispered to Jasmine.
Jasmine's two-toned eyes softened at the watery look in her friend's eyes. 'I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you to face it before you were ready.'
Akemi shook her head, shaking away few loose tears, and smiled up at her. 'You were just trying to help.'
Jasmine smiled. 'I'd do anything to help my friends.'
Akemi's smile brightened.
'Come on, Akemi, let's find our seats.'
Akemi nodded in agreement.
But before she could take a step, arms suddenly wrapped around her waist, pinning her arms against her sides. Anger unfurled in her stomach at a stranger touching her, and just as she began to struggle against the hold, the person buried their nose against her neck and began inhaling her scent like a druggie. Akemi's cheeks flamed red at the intimate hold, one that only privileged few were allowed. This person was not one of them. She began struggling again, but the person tightened their arms around her to the point of pain.
Akemi bit her bottom lip to prevent from releasing a hiss of pain.
'Stop struggling,' Sesshōmaru's voice said into her ear in Japanese.
'What the hell are you doing?' she demanded, cheeks a dark red for two reasons.
Jasmine turned around at that point and gasped loudly with a blush of her own at the intimidate position between the two. To Jasmine, it was a lover's hold where the male embraced his lover from behind, wrapping her protectively in his hold and his face buried in her neck. In Sesshōmaru's arms, Akemi looked so small and fragile. The deep blush on her face told Jasmine that she was not only embarrassed with the position but she was also angry.
'What are you doing to Akemi you pervert?' Jasmine snapped.
The class immediately quietened at her voice. Even the argument had drawn to a stop. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the three of them at the back. Everyone's eyes bugged out of their heads at the sight of Sesshōmaru willingly wrapped around a female and that his head was buried against her neck. It was so quiet it was unnerving and it only brought more embarrassment to Akemi who was unable to do anything to get out of Sesshōmaru's arms.
'Let. Me. Go!' Akemi said wriggling in his arms to try and get away.
A male suddenly burst out laughing, causing Akemi's already reddened face to turn tomato red. She hung her head to hide her face behind her fringe.
Jasmine felt anger at the one who was laughing, but the crowd was so thick that she couldn't find him to yell at him. But her anger was mainly focused on Sesshōmaru who refused to let Akemi go. Turning to the silver haired male, she was about ready to let curses fly from her mouth when a female beat her to it.
'What the fuck is this?'
A dark brunette emerged forth from the crowd, more like pushed her way through, with the black haired slut who had been arguing. Her red eyes were murderous as she glared at Akemi who had turned to her with wide eyes. The brunette's hair was tied up into a ponytail, feathers adorned into the hairstyle. She had a middle parting fringe. She wore a black corset over a very low-cut red top that revealed most of her cleavage. She wore a short red checkered skirt that was just as revealing as her friend's. She looked the type to be wearing thigh-high heeled boots but obviously had to settle for the white shoes that turned her outfit uglier than it was already.
'Get your filthy hands off of my man!' she spat in Japanese before storming over to Akemi, whipping a fan out from between her breasts.
How she managed to hide it down there was a mystery.
Jasmine turned to Akemi. 'What's slut number two saying?'
Akemi struggled to hide a smile at the comment. 'Apparently, Sesshōmaru's into dating whores from off the streets.'
Arms tightened around her waist, causing Akemi to grimace in pain before a growl from the chest at her back vibrated against her in warning.
'Jerk!' she spat over her shoulder at the yōkai. 'If you don't like the accusations, address the culprit yourself!'
'Are you listening to me?' slut number two screeched.
'Who are you?' Sesshōmaru asked Akemi in English, completely ignoring the female getting closer.
Akemi glared. 'You'll find out soon enough. Now let me go.'
Sesshōmaru's golden eyes narrowed. He growled at her. 'You will answer me!'
'Sorry, Fluffy, but I don't listen to commands,' she said and tossed her head away in a huff, giving him a face full of blonde hair.
Sesshōmaru fought a grin. He leaned back down to her neck and gave her a long meaningful lick.
Akemi squealed in embarrassment making him chuckle in amusement.
Just as she struggled, he suddenly released her making her fall to her knees. Before she could get to her feet, her hair was fisted in someone's rough hand and dragged her to her feet. Harmonious green eyes stared into spitfire red ones. The sneer on the female's face made her ugly, adding wrinkles that shouldn't be there. The fan tipped her chin back, forcing Akemi to look up at her as if she were looking at a superior being.
'Get your filthy whoring hands off of me, you sket!' Akemi hissed in Japanese before knocking her hands off her.
'Bitch!' she screeched and swung her now open fan at her.
The edges of the fan had been sharpened to the point it would easily slice through flesh. Before it could get any closer, Akemi karate chopped the weapon out of her hands and punched her right in the jaw. The force made the bitch fly into the air and crash into a desk that broke under her weight. Akemi's green eyes had hardened until they looked venomous. Her friend, just another slut, charged her, screaming an unimpressive war cry. Akemi felt like smacking her one just as she had done with the other, but she was suddenly picked up and thrown by none other than Inuyasha.
'Fight fair you cheating bitch!' he shouted at her.
'Stay out of this, Inuyasha!' slut number one screamed at him and charged Akemi again.
Kagome got between them and kicked her doppelgänger in the stomach, causing her to cough and collapse to her knees.
Jasmine stepped up to Akemi's side. 'Hey bitches!' she shouted, a wicked gleam entering her two-toned eyes, unaware that they probably didn't understand what she was saying. 'Go near my friend again and I'll fucking flambé you. Got that?'
The brunette got to her feet and charged, punching Jasmine in the stomach and slashing at Akemi with her fan, cutting deep into her left cheek. Blood pooled on the floor, shocking Akemi. Raising a hand to her cheek, she gingerly touched the wound and brought her fingers away covered in blood. The whites of her eyes turned red and her green eyes suddenly turned blue. A heavy presence descended upon the room, causing both humans and yōkai to gasp at the weight. But it suddenly abated as quickly as it appeared as she felt Jasmine's power slip out of her control.
Rather than flambéing the two girls like she had threatened, the distinctive smell of mud and poo infiltrated Akemi's sensitive nose. It had happened in a split second, at the same time that Akemi's control of her yōki almost slipped, when Jasmine's power had telekinetically thrown mud and poo at the girls, successfully splattering straight onto their faces, getting into their hair, on their clothes, up their noses, and down their mouths. She might have even got it into their eyes, if she had been lucky enough.
Akemi's anger vanished as quickly as it had come. Pinching her nose closed due to the overpowering scent, she laughed at the girls, closely followed by the rest of the classroom. Tears of laughter made seeing impossible, so she closed her eyes and laughed even harder.
At the same time, both girls wiped the mud and poo off their faces and flicked it onto the floor. As everyone just laughed at them, clutching their stomachs that were now aching, the two girls sputtered and spat out the mixed contents. When they could finally see again, meaning that it hadn't got into their eyes, they both screamed as soon as they saw the mud not taking into account that there was poo mixed in as well. Slut number one sniffed herself and screamed high pitched at the smell of shit and stomped her foot angrily.
As this was going on, Sesshōmaru leaned back against the wall, smirking at the show.
'Bitch!' the pair screamed at Jasmine who had no clue as to what they just said.
Just as the pair charged to get revenge, Jasmine's lack of control over her powers suddenly caused their hairs to ignite. The pair screamed even louder, only heightening the roaring laughter of the entire class, as they ran around in circles like headless chickens in an attempt to put the fire out. In the end, slut number two used her fan to generate enough wind to snuff the flames out. They both then turned to Jasmine with death glares.
'I think that's enough, Kikyō, Kagura,' Inuyasha said around his grin. 'Don't humiliate yourselves further and leave things at that.'
Kikyō and Kagura were both fuming, fists clenched at their sides.
'Akemi, was it?' Sesshōmaru said in Japanese, drawing everyone's attention.
Akemi turned to him in confusion.
He grabbed her chin between thumb and forefinger and tilted her head to the side, exposing her cut cheek to his gaze. He leaned down and licked the wound and the blood, surprising everyone into shock.
Akemi's face turned fifty shades of red, but she glared up at him.
He smirked at her before letting her go and resuming his leaning position against the window.
'Bastard!' she cursed at him, still insanely blushing.
'I told you not to touch my man!' Kagura yelled and charged Akemi.
Akemi clenched her fist and swung as she approached, knocking her into the wall at the back, cracking the chalkboard into a slut shape just as the classroom door opened to reveal a silver haired yōkai with gold eyes, blue jagged stripes on his cheeks, and wearing the traditional haori and hakama just like the Taishō siblings. As he stepped into the classroom, face thunderous, the room fell into a dead apprehensive silence. He looked at Kagura, took in Kikyō's appearance, his golden eyes looked angrily at his sons – who both tensed up at his arrival since they hadn't expected it – and then settled onto Akemi, who was frozen with disbelief. At first shock filled his eyes but then they turned into a disapproving anger.
He crossed his arms.
'Kagura, Kikyō, Kagome, Rin, Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Sesshōmaru, and you two,' he said pointing to Akemi and Jasmine – to which he eyed her star, clouds and moon clothing. 'Follow me.'
Jasmine sidled up to Akemi as they followed the tall yōkai behind Sesshōmaru who looked beyond annoyed.
'Who was that?' she whispered directly into her ear, tiptoeing to eye the really tall yōkai's butt as he moved.
Akemi leaned over to make sure that Sesshōmaru couldn't hear what she was going to say. 'That's Tōga-ō, King of Japan, Sesshōmaru's and Inuyasha's father. His nickname from me is King Fluffy.'
'That is one fine dilf,' she said appreciatively.
Akemi choked on air, causing Sesshōmaru to look over his shoulder at them. She smiled nervously at him and he turned back to the front. She released a sigh of relief and then glared at her friend.
'Do not ever say that again.'
'But he is!' she complained with a pout. 'And what's with Lord Fluffy licking your neck and face?' she asked slyly, wagging her eyebrows suggestively.
Akemi blushed fifty shades of red again and glared at her. 'We dog yōkai have antiseptic tongues like dogs,' she explained.
'I get licking the wound, but why the neck?'
Akemi blushed darker. 'Shut up!' she snapped, having everyone turn to them, only making her blush even darker in embarrassment.
Jasmine smirked in victory as Akemi just glowered at her until she hung her head the rest of the walk.
Great, punished by King Fluffy,' Akemi thought with a sigh. This is not going to be pleasant.
