Chapter 12

25 years passed… *Warning, Sexy scene*

Your POV

You continued to bounty hunt, you checked on Inuyasha who was still sealed to the tree and slowly worked through your issues. Mirai had not come to see you again, but you assumed she would when Inuyasha awakened.

You continued training getting stronger, you kept tabs every now and then on Sesshomaru who seemed to be on a mission of power and conquest still. Still looking for the Tessaiga.

Every year when the harvest moon was in the sky you slept and was gracefully met with a somewhat pleasant Sesshomaru. The Sesshomaru you met within your 'dream' once a year, and who believed you were dead. You never corrected it, as you didn't really understand it.

You would site by the waterfall together, you normally in between his legs with his hands on the bump which never grew. You would speak, and he it was pleasant, it was nice to get a good sleep once a year at night. It made you feel rested and helped with your feelings of resentment.

The harvest moon was upon you once again, another year had passed, you bathed and got dressed into a kimono dress. You lied yourself down in Kurama's cave, taking a deep breath you closed your eyes.

Sesshomaru's POV

"Milord, where are you going?" Jaken asked as Sesshomaru flew into the sky without him as the late afternoon came. "I'm going to bath and rest Jaken. Do not question me any further if you value your life." Sesshomaru retorted coldly.

Sesshomaru left it was the day he could see her again in his dreams. For 25 years his nightmares of her dead body had diminished. He only now dreamt on the Harvest moon every year and _ was always there. He would get to smell her, see her, have her close to him and feel the heartbeat of their baby in her stomach. Dream or no dream, he enjoyed it. He found tranquillity there, where he could be himself with her. Love her how he'd always longed for. There she was not dead; she was alive and felt so real.

Sesshomaru went to the hot spring to bath, when the sun nearly set, he got himself dressed and leaned comfortably against the tree like every year. A small smile played on his lips as he closed his eyes.

The Dream, both POV's

Sesshomaru found himself in the familiar scenario of holding you between his legs, his arms protectively around you, his hands resting on your pregnant belly. For 25 years, this dream had brought them together, allowing them to experience a life they could not have in the waking world. Sesshomaru closed his eyes the ache in his heart as strong as it had always been.

You looked up at him as your head rest back on his chest and kissed his lips.

Sesshomaru's heart fluttered, as you looked at him, your lips meeting in a gentle, familiar kiss. Despite the countless years it had been, the touch of you lips meeting his was still electrifying as ever.

Sesshomaru's arms tightened around you, pulling you closed back toward him, your stomach aroused with pleasure as his lips moved against yours in mixture of tenderness and desperation.

You suddenly felt aroused, and you moaned gently on his lips.

Sesshomaru's senses were heightened, his entire body reacted to the sound of your soft moan against his lips. The feel of you in his arms, your body against his, was stirring up primal instincts within him, he felt his growing need and hunger within his soul. His hand slowly moved over your belly, his touch gentle yet filled with possession, as his tongue teased against your lips, demanding entry of your mouth.

You let out another soft moan and opened your mouth. Sesshomaru's tongue gently slipped into your mouth, exploring the sweet warmth and familiar taste of you. His hands roamed your body, caressing your curves with a mix of tenderness and possessiveness. The feel of your skin under his touch ignited a fire within him, awakening a need that was instinctual and raw.

Sesshomaru shifted, pulling your body closer into him, the evidence of his arousal pressing against you.

The feel of his arousal against you made your breathing heavy as your cheeks warmed and your body heated under his touch.

Sesshomaru could feel the heat radiating off your body as your breathing grew more ragged. Your desire was now matching his. His grip tightened on your hips and his claws gently dug into them, as he tried to maintain some control over the overwhelming need that was consuming him.

Sesshomaru's lips moved to your neck, trailing kisses along the sensitive skin, as his hands continued to explore your body, his need to claim you and leave his markings on you growing stronger with every passing moment.

You moaned as he kissed and licked over your neck and shoulders as he started moving your kimono down. Your back arched in pleasure. Your arching back sent a bolt of desire through him, the sight of you submitting to his touch sending his mind wild with need.

Sesshomaru's hips began to rock against your, grinding his arousal against you, his control slipping further and further. His gaze drew itself to the mate marking on your collar bone, a primal satisfaction stirring within him as he saw his claim over you on your skin. It was a reminder of their complex relationship, a stamp of possession in a tumultuous world. His lips and tongue worked their way toward the mark, the need to taste and claim you growing increasingly stronger. He nipped and licked the mark testing its power. You moaned loudly as it shot electricity waved of pleasure through your whole-body causing goosebumps. A low growl escaped Sesshomaru's lips. Since marking her all those years ago 175 to be exact, he had not touched another female.

The sound of your moans, the feel of your trembling body under his touch, was driving Sesshomaru to the brink of control. He could feel the need within you, the pleasure he was giving you, and his own restraint hanging by a thread. He continued to nip and suck at the mark, the mixture of pleasure and pain evident in his actions. His teeth grazed against your skin, his tongue the soothing the mark as his hands moved down to your hips, possessively holding you against him.

You moaned his name. "Sessho…maru, I…" Sesshomaru's heart thundered in his chest as you spoke his name, your voice filled with a mixture of need and surrender. He lifted his head from the mark, his golden eyes burning with a fierce intensity as he looked down at her.

"What…what do you need, _?" he asked, his voice low and rough with desire. "Tell me."

"I want…I want you to have me…" You said your cheeks flushed slightly embarrassed.

A deep possessive growl rumbled in Sesshomaru's chest as your voice was filled with desire and need. He could feel the primal need within you and the thought of claiming you, sent a wave of heat through him. He moved quickly, his hands pulling at the fabric of your kimono, he pulled it off and bared your naked body to him. "You're mine" He grumbled, his voice raw with a mix of possession and lust. He removed his own kimono haori, it fell away with a swift motion, his own heated skin exposed in a cool air. He moved you and picked you up so you faced him and straddled him. The sight of you straddling him, your body bare to him, was more arousing than he could have imagined. He looked down at you, his golden eyes burning with a fierce intensity, hands gripping your hips, holding you firmly. "You're mine" He repeated, hie voice low and dominant growl. "Your body…your pleasure…it all belongs to me."

You looked over his bare chest and abs, a blush filled your cheeks. Sesshomaru watched your gaze the blush on your cheeks making you look even more beautiful to him. He could feel the hint of your skin against him, the way your body responded to his presence, the subtle signs of your desire and anticipation driving him wild. His hands gripped your hips tighter his claws digging into your skin drawing a little blood, he moved you closer and his lips moved back to your neck trailing kisses and teasing bites against your skin.

You moaned and leaned your head back to allow him more access to your neck.

Sesshomaru's lips and tongue continued their assault on your neck, tasting and teasing the soft, sensitive skin. The sound of your moans only further stoked the fire within him, fuelling his hunger and need for you. He growled against your neck, his breath hot and ragged, his hands gripping your hips tightly.

He nipped and sucked at your skin, leaving marks in his wake, a subtle claim and reminder of his possession. His body pressed against yours, the evidence of his arousal hard against you.

Sesshomaru's breath hitched as he freed himself from the confines of his trousers, the feel of his erection pressed against her body driving him wild. He positioned you on top of him, his hands guiding your hips, his eyes staring intensely at yours.

"I need you," he whispered, his voice filled with a mixture of longing and need. "I need you... now."

Sesshomaru's mind and body were consumed by a primal need as you claimed his lips, the feeling of your body surrounding him, consuming him, was overwhelming. He groaned into your mouth, his tongue delving deep, tasting you, claiming you. His hips moved instinctively, burying himself within you, the feeling of being connected to you like this was ecstasy.

He gripped your hips tightly, guiding your movements as he began to move beneath you, his eyes locked with yours, a raw, animalistic need filling his gaze.

You moaned as his hips moved and he slammed you against him.

Sesshomaru's breath grew ragged as you moved together, his body craving more of you, needing to claim you, mark your body. He slammed his hips up into you, each movement deep and rhythmic, driving both of you closer and closer to the edge.

"You're…mine." he growled, his voice harsh and rough, filled with a possessive edge. "Say it. Say you're mine."

"I…I…I am yours" you said in between moans.

Sesshomaru's heart pounded in his chest as you declared that you were his, the words sending a thrill through him unlike any he'd experienced before. He gripped your hips tightly, keeping you in place on top of him, his movements becoming more frantic, more primal, driven by the need to claim you, to make you his completely.

"Again," he grunted, his voice a low rumble. "Say it again."

You moaned again the arousal within you building further. "I'm yours….im yours Sesshomaru"

Sesshomaru's heart clenched as you repeated the words, the sound of your voice chanting his claim over you sending a wave of possessiveness through him. He moved faster, his thrusts harder as he felt his own release building, the need to claim you and mark her as his own became all consuming.

"Yes," he growled, his voice thick with primal satisfaction. "You're mine. You always have been. Mine and only mine."

Sesshomaru's golden eyes locked with yours, the sight of your flushed face, your eyes filled with ecstasy and desire, only fuelled his need for you. He could feel his release building, the primal drive to claim you overwhelming.

He drove into you, his thrusts becoming harder and faster, his voice rough and low as he spoke. "You're mine... say it..."

"I'm…I'm yours" you moaned.

Sesshomaru's body trembled as you repeated your declaration, the words sending a primal thrill through him. He gripped your hips tighter, pulling you down onto him, his hips thrusting up into you with a fierce intensity.

"Again," he grunted, his voice ragged and low. "I need to hear it again... I need to hear you say it..."

"I'm yours Sesshomaru!" You put her arms tighter around his neck and your nails dug into his shoulder as a knot pitted in your stomach and you started to edge.

Sesshomaru's breath hitched as your arms tightened around him, your nails digging into his shoulder. The pain of it only fuelled his primal need to claim you, to mark you as his all over your body. He growled, his movements becoming frenzy, primal and raw as he continued to drive himself into you.

"Mine... you're all mine..." he grunted, his voice thick with possessiveness. "And I'm never letting you go."

His words turned you on making you come toward your climax. "I…I'm going too…"

Sesshomaru could feel you nearing your peak, the sound of your moans and the way your body was reacting to his was driving him delirious.

"Do it," he growled, his voice ragged. "Come for me. Show me who you belong to."

You let out a load moan of Sesshomaru's name as you came even closed to your peak. "Sessho….maru!"

Sesshomaru's body trembled as he heard you cry out his name, the sound of your pleasure, the evidence of your surrender, sent a wave of primal satisfaction through him.

"Yes," he grunted, his thrusts becoming rougher, more erratic. "Say my name again... I want to hear you say it as you come undone."

You climaxed and did as he demanded, submitting yourself fully "Sesshomaru!"

Your climax and the feel of you tightening around him pushed Sesshomaru over the edge. With one final, primal thrust, he let out a guttural growl and released himself within you.

He buried his face in your shoulder, his body trembling, his breathing ragged and laboured. He held you tightly against him, his hands grip your hips so hard he was certain he would leave marks. "You're mine," he whispered, his voice raw. "Mine, and mine alone."

You snuggled into him and giggled. "That felt…." You started blushing.

Sesshomaru's heart fluttered as you snuggled into him, your giggles sending a wave of affection through him. He held you closely, his cheek resting against your head, his hands gently stroking your back. He smirked, his breath ragged and laboured, the aftermath of their passionate encounter still leaving him reeling. "It's always... amazing with you," he murmured, his voice low and rough.

You frowned slightly "The sun will set soon, and I will have to wait another year for you"

Sesshomaru's heart ached as you mentioned the sun setting, the reality of their situation weighing heavily on his heart. The thought of having to wait another year to see you again, to hold you like this, was a torment he could hardly bear. He tightened his arms around you, holding you close, as if by doing so he could somehow keep you by his side.

"I know," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "The thought of parting from you again is... unbearable."

You embraced him your naked body pushed against him tightly.

Sesshomaru's body reacted instinctively to the feel of your naked body pressed against his, the heat and softness of your skin sending a wave of desire through him. He held you close, his hands gently caressing the bare skin of your back, as he buried his face in your hair.

"You're so beautiful," he murmured, his voice low and rough, his fingers tracing lazy patterns across your skin. "I wish... I wish we could stay like this forever."

"I…I love you Sesshomaru" you said looking into his eyes, this Sesshomaru the one in this dream once a year you did indeed love and adore.

Sesshomaru's heart skipped a beat as you uttered the words "I love you." The admission sent a wave of emotion through him, a mixture of joy and fear. It was a feeling he had been denying for so long, afraid to admit the depth of his feelings for you.

He pulled you closer, his hand lifting your chin, so you were looking up at him. His golden eyes burned with a fierce intensity, his voice low and rough as he spoke. "I... I love you too... _." Sesshomaru stirred as the sun set, its last rays disappearing beyond the horizon. He slowly put his hand on your belly feeling the baby's heartbeat, a pang of sadness hitting him as he realized it was time for them to part again. He gently stroked your cheek, his fingers tracing the lines of your face, as if trying to memorize your features. "We have to say goodbye," he said, his voice soft and full of regret. You nodded and kissed his lips.

Sesshomarus POV

Sesshomaru's heart ached as he awoke within the dream and realized _ was gone. The memory of their intimate time together lingered in his mind, the feel of her body pressed against his, the scent of her still clinging to his skin. He lifted his hand to his nose and inhaled, her scent filling his senses and fuelling the ache in his heart. He could see a bit of her blood under his nails, and he licked it off. He had never felt this possessive, this affected by a dream before. It was as if the line between dream and reality was smudged, blurred by what had happened. _ scent was on him fully, like shed been with him outside of the dream. He was confused but shook his head of the insanity he was thinking. His eyes narrowed, he tried to rationalise his thoughts.

"It's nonsense, stop thinking nonsense Sesshomaru, you're losing your mind." He muttered to himself getting him self back into the hot spring, he kept one hand out and held it to his face and closed his eyes inhaled her scent.

Your POV

You woke up, you felt wet beneath you, you could smell your blood. You quickly unwrapped your kimono, you had his claw marks on your hips and his seed was inside you. "What the…what is going on." You kept looking at yourself you could smell him on you, in you, all over you. You quickly ran to a mirror in the cave room you were in, your shoulders were covered in his bite marks. You went pale, your mind went fuzzy.

You quickly went to the hot spring, undressed and got in. You felt strange. It was like the dream wasn't a dream. You ran your hands over the marks, you were in disbelief.

You relaxed you saw the markings start to fade as your body healed.
