In the Garden
Kagome ran from the dojo, not caring where she was heading as she ran into a large garden that was on the right side of the castle. Kagome stopped in her tracks as she looked around at the beautiful garden that she had seen from her balcony window. It looked even more beautiful than it had the night she first saw it, with grace she sat down in a small clearing that was surrounded by red and white roses.
She lay down on the soft grass staring up into the blue sky watching as two red birds chased after each other. Closing her eyes sleepily she didn’t notice the demonic aura that was approaching her slowly as if they were stalking her.
Once Sesshomaru had left the dojo and Kagome he went into his gardens where he could control his youkai blood without interruptions from a certain Miko. He breathed in the sweet scent of the flowers that Rin seemed to treasure so much. Another scent wafted to his nose, the scent of Kagome.
‘Should I go to her?’ he asked himself not wanting Kagome to think that he had been angry at her.
‘Why should I, this Sesshomaru does not need to explain himself to a mere ningen wench.’
Oh stop with the I’m better than everyone else act.’
Sesshomaru groaned in annoyance as his youkai beast showed up.
Just admit that you like her, she smells delicious’ it said with it's mouth hanging from it's mouth.
‘I wonder if she tastes as good as she smells.’
‘Hah, you do like her maybe even love her’ his youkai taunted.
‘Iie, I will not lower myself to my father’s status by loving a ningen’ Sesshomaru growled at his conscious.
‘I think you already have.’
‘I did not ask for your petty opinion.’
Yeah right, go to her’ with that said his youkai conscious left.
‘Hnh..’ Sesshomaru made up his mind that he would see what she was doing but nothing else. He followed her scent to his favorite spot in the garden, a clearing with red and white roses encircling it. He saw Kagome laying on the ground with her eyes closed in peace as she sighed deeply.
‘She does not even notice my aura, baka ningen’ he continued closer to her until he was standing next to her. Sesshomaru sat gracefully down next to her until he was close enough to hear her heart’s steady beating.
“Miko, it is not wise to let your guard down.”
Kagome jumped at the deep voice of Sesshomaru that was right beside her, no more than a few feet.
“S-Sesshomaru you scared me” Kagome gasped as she held her hand to her chest where she could feel her heart beating erratically. Sesshomaru sighed, as she once again did not call him by his proper title.
“Miko, your forgetfulness is going to get you killed one day” Sesshomaru said looking at Kagome who had sat up beside him with her legs crossed out in front of her.
“Geez, I’m not a computer.”
“Com-put-er?” he sounded out the name not being familiar with it.
“Hai.”
“What is this computer?” he turned his eyes back towards the flowers.
“Ano, nothing important” she said waving her hands in front of her face.
“I order you to tell this Sesshomaru” he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice for her not answering him.
“A computer is a device that knows practically everything and you can write letters and other stuff on it and print it out on paper.”
Sesshomaru sat confused as he thought of how something that is not alive could know everything.
“You lie” he could smell no lie on her but he knew that something not alive did not know anything let alone everything.
“I am not” she glared angrily at him.
“Wench” Sesshomaru growled growing angry yet aroused at her defiance.
“My name ain’t wench, miko, ningen, or bitch it’s Kagome, Ka-go-me can’t you say three little syllables.” Kagome regretted speaking out against Sesshomaru as in a blink of an eye he had her pushed on the ground with his weight on her waist and his hand around her throat.
“You will learn respect ‘wench’ if I have to force if on you” he sneered in her face.
“Get..off..of..me” Kagome ground out the words between clenched teeth.
“Iie, I am your master, you are only a guest in my home, you will learn respect” he said as he leaned down and whispered in her ear as his anger slowly resided.
“I am not something to be used for every little thing” she whispered as angry tears gathered in her eyes.
“You will do as I command” he said removing his hand from around her throat as he watched a lone tear escape from her brown orbs.
“I hate you.” She couldn’t hold back her tears anymore and let them wash down her face, drowning her in sorrow and making her feel sorry for herself.
Look what you’ve done!’ Sesshomaru’s conscious growled angrily.
Sesshomaru started feeling guilty as he watched the young woman underneath him cry piteously for herself. For some unknown reason he did not like to see tears escape from her beautiful blue-gray eyes. He grasped her chin with his hand and brought her face around until she was looking up into his eyes.
“Forgive me?” Sesshomaru asked keeping his emotionless mask on but Kagome could see the regret in his golden eyes.
“H-Hai” Kagome choked out through her sobs. Sesshomaru leaned down as another tear escaped from under her closed eyelashes and ran his tongue over her cheek, catching the tear. Kagome froze as she realized what he had just done.
“If you don’t breathe then you will die” Sesshomaru lightly chuckled in her ear as he heard her heart beat stop. He leaned down once again and while breathing in her scent he traced Kagome’s ear with his tongue. Kagome moaned in pleasure as his tongue traced slow lazy circles around her ear, one of her most sensitive spots. Her arousal spiked, she could feel a wetness gathering in her lower regions but suddenly Sesshomaru pulled back smelling Kagome’s unmistakable arousal. Quickly standing he walked away leaving Kagome confused, laying on the ground still trying to get over her shock.
“Shimatta!”
‘I almost lost control with my youkai’ he growled in anger and frustration startling Tsuru who was trying to find Kagome.
“My Lord” Tsuru bowed deeply to Sesshomaru wanting to ask him if he knew where Kagome was but he kept on storming past her clearly agitated.
‘I wonder what’s wrong with my Lord?’ Tsuru wondered to herself as she continued her search for Kagome.
“Kagome?” Tsuru called softly so as not to startle her as Tsuru saw her gazing up into the evening sky.
“Hmm?” Kagome said as she looked up to see Tsuru leaning over her with a worried expression on her face.
“Are you alright Kagome?”
“Hai, why do you ask?”
“You were spacing out as if you had a great deal on your mind” Tsuru said sitting beside Kagome where Sesshomaru had recently been.
“Oh sorry about that, I was thinking about Sesshomaru.”
“Why Lord Sesshomaru?” Tsuru sniffed the air where she picked up the unmistakable scent of both Kagome’s and Sesshomaru’s arousal also smelling Sesshomaru’s scent all over Kagome.
Tsuru grinned, excited at this new turn of events.
Kagome saw the evil grin plastered on Tsuru's face and felt that she knew something that she did not want her to know. “What!” Kagome sat up and turned giving Tsuru her best glare.
“Oh nothing” Tsuru said not in the least intimated by Kagome’s evil glare.
“I’ll purify you to hell if you don’t tell me” Kagome threathened bringing forth her miko powers that surrounded her form in a slight pink glow.
Tsuru stopped laughing and replaced her features with a smirk as she watched Kagome rise from the ground with her hands on her hips with the pink glow around her.
“I won’t say” Tsuru crossed her arms over her chest in a defiant position.
“Oh yeah, come here you!” Kagome jumped forward intending to knock Tsuru off her feet but she caught thin air. Looking around she saw Tsuru about ten feet in front of her with a smile on her face.
“Catch me if you can!” Tsuru called as she began running through the gardens. Kagome chased after Tsuru but just when she thought she was going to catch her, Tsuru put on another burst of speed and left Kagome behind in the dust. After ten minutes of trying to catch the crane demon Kagome collapsed to the ground exhausted and annoyed that Tsuru seemed not to be affected at all by running for ten minutes nonstop.
“Tsuru!” Kagome whined like a little kid when Tsuru ran into the castle. Kagome followed after her into the castle grumbling about how unfair it was that demons could go so fast. Kagome came to the main doors and tried with all her strength to pull them open but she was not even able to make them budge. She stomped her foot in agitation.
“Hello, someone open the door!” she yelled trying to get the attention of the guards on the other side.
“Need help?” an amused voice asked from behind her. Kagome turned around to see Sesshomaru leaning up against a stone statue of an inu-youkai with a smug grin on his face.
“Why do you have such heavy doors?” she asked crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at the Tai-youkai.
“They are not heavy for a demon.”
“Well duh, but they are to humans!”
“Do you ask for this Sesshomaru's help wench?” he asked amused when Kagome turned her back on him.
“Iie, never, I’ll find a way in.” Kagome returned to the door and tried pulling on the large handles on the door but to no avail again.
Sesshomaru chuckled when Kagome kicked the door then grabbed her foot in pain from kicking it so hard.
“And you don't need help?” he straightened up and walked towards Kagome still chuckling at her antics.
“Iie!”
“Then you shall stay out here for the rest of the night” he grinned before turning in the opposite direction of the castle doors.
“Iie, ok..ok open the damn door!”
“Please...”
“Please Sesshomaru-sama” Kagome said reluctantly. Sesshomaru walked to the door and with a flick of his wrist had the door open into the castle. Kagome stormed past him and towards her room or at least she thought so. Sesshomaru appeared in front of her with his demon speed and took her by the shoulder, holding her in place.
“Let me go!”
“Would you like this Sesshomaru to escort you back to your room, it seems you are going the wrong way.”
“Uhh, fine” Kagome shrugged Sesshomaru’s hand from her shoulder, a bright blush staining her cheeks.
“Come” Sesshomaru continued through his castle and led Kagome to her room. Before she entered her room Sesshomaru held his hand out in front of her stopping her from entering.
“You will accompany this Sesshomaru to the evening meal” he commanded as he removed his hand back to his side.
“Hai my Lord” she said with sarcasm and entered her room slamming the door in his face. Sesshomaru left to return to his study with a slight smile on his face.
‘I will make her submissive yet.’
