Chapter 16: Through your Heart

They didn't budge. Neither of them moved as they gazed intently at the other. Finally, Sesshoumaru spoke up calmly and Usagi swore she could hear remorse in his voice. "I apologize for my earlier behavior." This simple phrase seemed so hard to say as he paused. 'Though the idiot deserved what he got. He had no right to force himself on something that belongs to me!' But this thought didn't make it through his lips.

His emotions were all mixed up and he hated it. How could such a small piece of woman move his heart and emotions so easily?

Usagi sighed in relief as he was the first one to speak up since he had 'abducted' her to talk in a more private area. Usagi hadn't seem him all day after what had happened with Raijuu this morning until he just appeared in front of her and disappeared with the rabbit clinging to him desperately as he ran away, leaving a bunch of shocked people and a mysteriously smiling InuYasha.

Remembering how Sesshoumaru had acted on impulse, she faintly wondered what in the world could've caused him to get out of his previous ordeal just to come to get her in front of everyone like that.

Sesshoumaru, on the other hand, was also shocked about the rapidity he took to come to a decision…

Flashback

The confused Inu Lord was walking in the forest to rest and clear his jumbled thoughts when someone intruded in his privacy, someone who wanted to be known as they made too much noise walking, proving it wasn't one of Naraku's spies.

Sesshoumaru almost groaned when he opened his senses and smelled his dearest younger half-brother. 'I don't feel like dealing with him right now!' One would've laughed, or maybe fall unconscious, if they just could've heard his internally whining tone of voice. Yet, he straightened his back and turned around, facing InuYasha.

His hand retracted from Toukijin's handle as he noticed InuYasha was just looking at him peacefully. "You're confused, aren't you, Sesshoumaru?"

The Taiyoukai wanted to snap at InuYasha to mind his own business, but being the royalty he was held him from lashing out like an inexperienced pup. 'Then again, I did lash out on Raijuu.' His mind added, but soon reasoned; 'But that's because he threatened what is mine in the first place.'

Pleased with his internal debate, he replied coolly to his meddling brother; "This Sesshoumaru is never confused, little brother. Remember that."

Instead of snapping a witty remark like Sesshoumaru thought he would, InuYasha merely shook his head negatively and gave him a small reprimanding look. "You should stop denying it, Sesshoumaru. I can see it as plain as daylight; you truly feel something for Usagi, or if you're not aware of it, your inner-beast sure is. I didn't know you could be this thick!"

Sesshoumaru opened his mouth on impulse to say something that would shut InuYasha up, but he closed it as fast, not finding anything to reply. InuYasha smirked in triumph while the Taiyoukai felt somewhat disgusted by what was happening. 'I've already begun to be weakened by human presence.' He thought with a frown.

"It seems I have contracted father's illness. For you to bear it, I find it normal, but I will probably get weaker as the time passes by. How utterly disgusting; me getting weaker because I felt something for a human woman."

InuYasha blinked. "Father's disease?" But he understood what his brother was talking about when Sesshoumaru mentioned the word "Feeling".

'So, he's afraid that love will make him weaker? I'll probably kill myself for doing this later if he doesn't now, but I have to get my point across that thick skull of his first.' A plan formed in InuYasha's head and with one last thought, it being 'I'm suicidal', he smiled slyly and took a step towards Sesshoumaru who was once again lost in his thoughts.

"So does this mean you won't be claiming her? Pity for you because I've had my eyes on her for quite some time now. And I won't have any problems since Raijuu is out of the picture. I should thank you, really. She'll be a perfect mate and her looks will make the other demonesses jealous."

As soon as he finished uttering those words, he braced himself for the impact and winced when he was harshly gripped by the throat, no longer feeling the ground beneath his feet. 'That'll teach me to thread on dangerous grounds. I'm lucky Kagome's not here or I would've been sat over and over until I died'. The disgruntled hanyou took a difficult intake of breath since Sesshoumaru had an iron grip on his neck.

"You. If you even try it or breathe in the same direction as her I will disembowel you and feed you to the wolves before you can even start begging for mercy, brother or not."

InuYasha looked at Sesshoumaru and saw that his eyes were not red but still golden. He chuckled as much as he could in his dangerous situation and Sesshoumaru snarled, his claws digging even deeper in the hanyou's neck. "What is so funny in my threat, half-breed?" He questioned dangerously.

'He took the bait quite well!' InuYasha smirked triumphantly. "Well brother, for someone who thought emotions were only weakening people, you do seem to be even stronger than before when we mention *her*. And you don't have to worry about me interfering with your intended mate-to-be. I am not interested in her in that way. I did, however, get my point across fairly well, wouldn't you agree?" He let out another short laugh when Sesshoumaru's eyes widened at his words.

"She…makes me stronger?" He asked in a whisper. He unconsciously let InuYasha go as the hanyou's word sunk in. He should've been angry at InuYasha to use such a low and life threatening tactic to get a simple point across but now he noticed that every time someone mentioned her, an unknown force seemed to burst out of his heart. He felt as if there was nothing he couldn't do.

InuYasha chuckled as he interpreted Sesshoumaru's wonder filled face. "Ah yes, love is a powerful thing indeed. Kagome's the one who thought me this and Usagi's the one who pointed me the good direction."

Sesshoumaru stared at InuYasha. "I love her."

It was as if he was awakening from a dream and trying to convince himself it was real. "I, Sesshoumaru, am in love."

He felt his heart beat faster against his rib cage and InuYasha turned his back on him, ready to go back to Kagome, playing it cool. "My job here is done." He walked away and hid in the bushes nearby where the wind would not betray his presence.

Sesshoumaru soon snapped out of it and blurred away. InuYasha suddenly slackened and let himself fall on the ground on his rear, breathing a sigh of relief and rubbing his poor neck. "Phew! I'll never try this again, I swear! I thought he was going to kill me for real this time! I'm such an idiot!"

End flashback

"I forgive you Sesshoumaru and I'm happy you didn't kill him. Your friend Ryuu would've been devastated. We already have enough problems, we don't need you to start another war with a friendly country." Usagi said softly when she saw that Sesshoumaru was lost in his thoughts.

The Inu Lord snapped out of it with by blinking slowly and he gazed at her. Usagi took a step towards him but when she hesitated, he quickly walked to her and with the help of his tail he pushed her on the back and against his chest. She quickly buried her face in his kimono, her cheeks burning but she sighed pleasantly when he wound his good arm around her shoulders.

'So warm, so soft, so…delicate. I could stay like this forever.' Sesshoumaru thought silently and breathed in her scent, tightening his hold on her.

Usagi didn't resist and pressed against him immediately. 'He's so strong! I feel completely at peace when I'm with him. But…'

"Sesshoumaru?" She asked, and Sesshoumaru hummed in his throat to let her know he was listening.

"What are we, Sesshoumaru? What did you mean this morning….you know…No one touches what is mine?" The blonde haired hime couldn't help but hesitate and hid her face even deeper in his clothes. 'Please! I wouldn't bear to loose someone else!'

Sesshoumaru felt her tense and didn't hesitate to stroke her cheek with his hand, slowly lifting her head so he could whisper in her ear seductively; "It means exactly what it means, and I meant every word that I said. This Sesshoumaru does not lie."

Usagi's breath itched in her throat and she felt warmer each passing minute. The fact that she could feel Sesshoumaru's breath against her ear and neck didn't help either. He was so near, so warm, so protective, so sexy, so…………. 'KISSING ME RIGHT NOW!!!' Her eyes snapped open, though she did not remember closing them, and she gasped loudly and tried to back away as a reflex.

Sesshoumaru kept his hold on her with his tail strong and he didn't waste any time by delving in and taking possession of her sweet sinful mouth.

'Oh GODS!' She thought half there and half in the daydream world as her knees were barely holding her. She gripped his kimono tightly so she wouldn't fall but Sesshoumaru's grip was too strong for her to drop. She closed her eyes again when he doubled the intensity of the kiss, pushing against her as if he wanted to be one with her and she couldn't help the moan that escaped her throat.

His kisses were like a drug, one taste and she was addicted for life. He didn't even let her the chance to retaliate and explored her mouth sensually, yet urgently. Sesshoumaru felt as if he was on fire, and it wasn't caused by anger. He wanted her, possibly right then and there, but youkai noise from the background, as far as it sounded, didn't make things very romantic.

Usagi needed to breathe soon but he continued his hot assault on her tongue, his emotions pouring out in an overload. She closed her eyes tightly and wiggled against him, trying to make him understand she needed to breathe.

Oh, he did let her mouth go, but with a soft and deep moan as she brushed against him. He suppressed his youkai's desire to take her with difficulty and leaned his forehead against hers, panting heavily. The rabbit finally breathed in a big gulp of air and relaxed in Sesshoumaru's hold, looking at him in the eyes lovingly.

With those eyes gazing at him, he couldn't help but growl deeply and push her even tighter against his hard chest possessively. "You are MINE! No one will ever touch you against your or my will or they *will* be killed. No one touches what is MINE." He said with conviction, stressing the word mine many times over to convince himself he wasn't dreaming.

Usagi sensed that youkai were very protective of their love...mate? Is this what the youkai were calling their loved one? She knew she wasn't mated yet with Sesshoumaru, but boosting his ego and reassuring him wasn't a bad thing to do at the moment.

"Yes, Sesshoumaru. I love you so much! No one will touch me like this other than you. I am yours and yours alone to do what you please. I am yours and no one else's!" She repeated again, to the great surprise and pleasure of the Inu Lord, who stroked the junction where neck met shoulder with his deadly fingers, longing in his golden eyes.

Those words went directly to a lower part of his anatomy and it took all his self control to not let his beast get out and have his wicked way with her. She seemed to understand him so much! He couldn't betray this trust so instead he used his tail and started to stroke her thighs languidly; reveling in her small pants and moans. He kissed her once again but on the forehead, and quickly, because he feared that his little teasing was starting to affect him a little too much.

They parted with much difficulty and Usagi almost stumbled because her legs felt like Jello. "We should go back to the campsite before the others start searching for us." Usagi said breathlessly.

Sesshoumaru put his hand around her back so she could regain her balance and he smirked a little knowing he had such an effect on her. But then again, she had a *major* one on him too. "You needn't worry about the others. I have a feeling that my dear brother will do something useful for once and keep the people from intruding."

Usagi looked at him curiously but he didn't elaborate. Sesshoumaru lowered his head a little and smelled her slightly. He suppressed a moan and took her in his arms, running to a nearby spring. Usagi didn't understand as he let her go and pushed her delicately towards the water's edge. "Wash up." Was all he said and she gave him an indignant look.

He smelled her again and did groan this time. "Damnit woman, your smell is driving me crazy. Wash up or both you and I won't be showing up for the rest of the day." Sesshoumaru turned around but was quick enough to steal a glance at her red face.

"Oh." Was all she could say, suddenly feeling very hot at the meaning of his heated words. The Taiyoukai smelled his entourage and let a little of his Ki go, creating an invisible barrier with his scent.

"I will be waiting back at the camp. Take as much time as you want, I erected a barrier with my scent. The other youkai will not be foolish enough to enter this territory."

She nodded and started to get her kimono off. Sesshoumaru couldn't help the quick peek at her lovely naked shoulders and back and ran away as soon as he felt his hormones stirring again, murmuring a soft "I love you". At least -he- could hide this particular odor until it went away!
