Kagome woke up cold, and she felt him before anything else. She looked back at his cold gold eyes met hers. The sun was just rising, and she shivered. She looked away and held her moist clothing to her.
"Kaugra," Sesshomaru spoke slowly,
"Hai?"
"You all need a bath, and she needs to be cleansed of the outside."
Kagura bowed. Normally they would bath all together the night of the wedding.
"Wives, up!" She snapped.
One by one, they stretched and bowed to their husband, who did not look at them.
"Come, we bathe," She said calmly to them, minding her eye on Kagome.
One by one, they left the cave, and Kaugra stepped up to Kagome. "Come, girl," She said slowly.
"Where?" Kagome asked sleepy, not having heard.
"To bathe and to get you out of that dress."
Kagome stood slowly and followed Kagura out. She did not look back at Sesshomaru, who stood up. The bathhouse was warm, and all the women were naked and in before Kagura and Kagome arrived.
"Undress and get in, I am not your maid I will not tend to you." Kagura vanished.
Kio was more pleased. She jumped up to aid Kagome. "Ill help you!" She beamed.
Kagome stepped back, "Thanks, but I got it."
Kio had full breast for such a small girl, Kagome blushed.
"Oh look, she's shy," Mal said.
"Better hurry before Lord Sesshomaru comes!" Kio beamed.
"Wait. What?" Kagome asked,
Mal sighed "It was supposed to be done on your wedding night, but not to worry he will never bathe with you again after,"
Kagome lost her clothing real quick and stepped into the water and went deep to cover everything.
"So he doesn't bath with any of you?" She asked,
"She did not say that, "Oceana spoke "From time to time he will call on one of us to aid him,"
Kagome nodded, then she heard the doors slide open. She slid quickly to the back and turned her back to him. The water moved, and she knew he was in. "Great, just great," She breathed.
"Bathe all of you and get out." She heard him say.
His words were cold, and she felt the water move more. They all did as they were told. Kagome looked around and found a tray nearby with the things she needed to bathe. She moved slowly to them and reached out, but before her hand could get to it, his clawed hand grabbed her wrist. She gasped and tried to move away.
"Afraid?" He asked,
"Your naked!"
"How astute of you, Miko."
Kagome swallowed, "I thought you wouldn't touch me."
He released her hand, "Though I wish not, this has been done since the dawn of our time, of our people."
Kagome listened,
"Though you are human, you are for our purposes, my wife."
Kagome blushed, and she was glad he could not see her.
"It is a ritual I will not disrespect, though I am aware of how you feel about rituals and respect."
Her blush was gone, and she turned her blazing mad eyes to him, though she did not turn to him fully.
"Keep looking at me like that Miko-"
She looked away, and slowly her anger vanished. Then she felt water over her head. Warm water "What are you doing?"
"Bathing you, must I repeat myself?"
She smelt the oil as he dumped it over her.
"Normally, I would touch you," He said, "Read your body like a map."
Her cheeks began to tint pink again,
"But I have no desire to see what you may or may not have to offer."
"I dont have anything to offer you, My Lord."
"Just as well, I have no want of you."
"Then this is pointless, dont you say?"
"I am doing it for no other reason than to get under you."
Kagome snorted as he held out a sponge for her, she took it "As if I would ever let you get under me,"
She pressed the sponge to her chest and gasped when she felt his breath at her ear "One thing you will learn real fast, Miko, is that I would never allow you to be above me."
Kagome rolled her eyes,
"One day, Miko, you will beg me to touch you."
"Never,"
"I will have to take your first blood one day."
She stopped moving the sponge "You wouldn't, you haven't taken all of your other wives,"
He smiled, "They are not virgins, you are."
She slowly turned to look at him, the sponge covering her breast. "Sesshomaru,"
"Do not fret Miko, I won't touch you till you beg it of me, and even then I will not bend to your request,"
She stepped back and looked at his strong chest then back up to his eyes.
"I will take you, Miko, when you hate me the most when it will burn the most."
