Chapter12: Something Good.
Kagome shuddered in his arms at the feel of his tongue against her own. When his tongue rubbed along hers, Kagome felt a hot bolt of sensation shoot right down her spine to her knees.
Kagome gloried in their kiss, in the sudden realization that this was what a kiss was suppose to be like; that this was what she'd been waiting for-waiting to feel.
She felt his hand on her hip urging her closer, demanding and firm, it slid around to cup her behind as he lifted her up and against him. Kagome felt the evidence of his need pressing against her then she felt his hips shift and begin to rock against her in a dance all to familiar in knowledge, yet foreign to her experiences. His slow rocking motion sent a searing heat pulsing through her body.
Kagome felt the fluff at her waist slide from between them and then tighten a few seconds later; holding her firmly in place against his solid form.
Sesshoumaru removed his tail from being only wrapped around her to wrapping it around his own waist as well. Now, there was only one barrier between their bodies... their clothes. And he had every intention of removing that barrier as well, and soon.
With that thought in mind, Sesshoumaru slid his hand further down her body `til his fingertips touched the flesh of the back of her thigh. He grasped the hem of her outfit and slowly pulled it upwards revealing her thighs and her backside to the night sky as he felt her shiver against him. He never released her mouth from his as he did this.
Kagome sighed at all the strange sensations shooting through her at every touch of his hand against her body. She almost dropped to her knees when she felt his fingers graze the back of her thigh, but went still when she felt him begin to lift her dress up. She shivered slightly when she felt the soft wind against her newly exposed skin; it wasn't cold, just unexpected. When his hand kept pulling her dress further up to the middle of her back, she stiffened with understanding. `He's taking it off of me... I don't have on a bra!' Kagome suddenly remembered that she'd removed her bra when she'd settled down to sleep. While she was too lazy to change into her pajamas, she couldn't fathom sleeping in her bra. That would be TOO uncomfortable. Now, she was regretting it. She had to stop him before he saw her! She started to panic.
Sesshoumaru felt her go still against him and could sense her mind was wandering from what they were doing. `Was he losing his touch?' he wondered. Granted, he'd never had sex with a human before, he'd never wanted one, but he'd always thought that when it came to this all females-human and demon both-were alike. And he'd never had a woman leave him and not be satisfied with his performance... more than satisfied. Suddenly, he sensed her panic and realized it wasn't his performance that was bothering her, but his removing of her clothes. He didn't understand her worry. He figured it must be a ningen thing. He had no idea what to do about it. He'd never been with an untouched woman before. He'd never wanted too, either. He was suddenly realizing how much of foreign territory this was for him, as well.
Wanting to ease her growing fear, he released her lips and pulled back just enough to lock eyes with her.
"Do you trust me?" he whispered to her.
Sesshoumaru had not planned on asking that question. All he wanted to do was ease her fear so he could continue what he was doing and with that goal in mind, that was the question that came out. Now, that he'd said it though, he really wanted to know... and not just so he could finish what they had started. `I want her trust.' He didn't understand why he did, but there it was all the same.
Kagome stared into his eyes as he asked her that question. `Do I trust him?' she asked herself. She thought about it for a moment as she looked into his golden orbs and could see the worry he was not trying to hide from her, though his face was still as unreadable as ever. Then her answer came to her. `With my life,' and she slowly began to relax as she knew he would not hurt her.
"Yes. I trust you," she smiled beautifully at him.
Sesshoumaru sensed her fear leaving before he felt her body begin to lose its stiffness. His breath came easier when he heard her reply and was surprised at the realization that he had been holding it. He had been worried about her answer.
"Good," he grinned. Then in a swift motion he pulled her dress over her head and tossed it to the ground. When she opened her mouth he took quick advantage of her shock and thrust his tongue inside as he pulled her body against his. He listened to her moan and gave her a growl of his own.
Kagome couldn't believe he'd just pulled her dress off her like that! She was just about to give him a piece of her mind when he dipped his tongue back into her mouth. She immediately lost her train of thought; the haze that clouded her mind when he kissed her came back fast. When her unclad breast came into contact with his unequally clothed chest her nipples hardened. She moaned from the ache that was beginning to form there.
She sighed when she felt his hand slide slowly down the middle of her back starting a trail of endless sensations like tiny firecrackers along her flesh. Kagome sucked in his breath when she felt his hand slide pass the edge of her panties and grip her backside. Flesh to flesh. Kagome shuddered and felt her knees shake violently from his clever assault on her senses.
Sesshoumaru grinned into her mouth when he felt her reaction to his touch. He slowly slid his hand back out from in her underwear and wrapped his arms around her shaking knees. He unwrapped his tail from his back and wrapped it around her upper back covering her chest with its fluffiness as he brought her knees up and carried her. He walked a few steps to a grassy area beneath a large oak tree and laid her down on the ground. Then he released her mouth and pulled back as he settled himself on his left side beside her.
Sesshoumaru had the fore thought to put up a sound proof barrier before he continued with his ministrations with her.
He wanted to see her. Sesshoumaru had refrained from looking when he'd pulled her clothes off her before because he knew she was still a little embarrassed, but now he couldn't stop his eyes from traveling down her form. Her breasts were large, round and creamy looking with the nipples pointing up in a hard rosebud shape. They were a dark pink and begging for his attention. He had to fight to keep his mouth from watering. His eyes traveled down the flatness of her stomach to the tiny bellybutton that rested there like a mysterious cave. He wanted to explore that cave. He lifted his hand to her soft flesh and rubbed his palm along her stomach. He detracted his claws when he rubbed over the hollow of her bellybutton before dipping the tip of his finger inside. He felt her stomach muscles contract at his touch then his eyes traveled further down her body. When his eyes rested on the dark blue scrap of clothing that covered her sex from his view he felt his erection grow harder with anticipation.
In a trance, the hand that was at her belly slid further down `til his hand came into contact with the scrap of clothing at her hips. When his fingers slid beneath the satin to encounter the flesh it covered, he heard her audibly suck in her breath. Breaking the trance he was in. His eyes returned to her face and he could see the light blush as well as the arousal in her eyes... and the nerves.
Kagome had watched him as he'd looked at her body and had wondered what he thought. His every look was like a caress she could feel. She knew her breasts were too large, but she hoped he didn't think she was ugly because of it. When she'd seen his hand lift to touch her she'd bit her bottom lip in an effort to keep from bolting. When she felt his finger at her bellybutton she'd felt a large wave of heat wash over her and pool between her legs in a liquid feeling. She wanted to squirm at the feel and almost did when she felt his hand slide into her panties. Her eyes popped open and locked with his glowing amber gaze then. She didn't even remember closing them.
"Beautiful..."
Kagome's eyes widened at his whispered compliment. `Did he really think that?' she wondered and bit her lip more.
Sesshoumaru lowered his mouth to hers and slowly sucked her lip away from her teeth and into his mouth. He soothed the soft flesh with his tongue, before he released it.
"Don't do that," he whispered before he crushed her mouth to his once more.
Sesshoumaru devoured her lips and tongue. He couldn't get enough of the taste of her. She tasted like warm honey to his crazed senses. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to her side and against his body. His lips moved from her mouth and down over her chin to her throat as she tilted her head back to give him better access. He found the pulse in her throat and planted his mouth there and suckled, hard.
Kagome whimpered from what he was doing at her neck then sighed when he started to travel further down as he leaned her backwards towards the ground again. When his lips came into contact with the top of her breast, Kagome arched her back in wonder. She'd never felt so many sensations before. It was driving her crazy and that ache that had been in her breasts started up again. Unknowingly she moved her legs restlessly against him.
Sesshoumaru licked and sucked at her mounds as he pushed her back firmly against the ground. When he had her stretched out on the ground again, where he wanted her, he covered her hardened nipple with his mouth a suckled her. Her back arched violently when his lips closed around her nipple and she moaned heavily. Sesshoumaru smiled a genuine smile against her flesh as he moved to the other breast to give it the same attention.
He removed his shirt while he administered to her delicious breasts with his lips and tongue. He heard her moan again as she arched towards him offering herself up to his mouth. He saw her squeeze her thighs together in reaction to the feelings coursing through her body. Sesshoumaru rested his hand on her lower abdomen and felt her body jerk at the contact. As his hand traveled downward his mouth moved upward to her mouth. When his hand slid over the soft cloth below, her hips jerked again, and he smiled knowingly against her chin. Then in a clever move he wedged his hand between her slightly parted thighs and cupped her sex as he pressed his palm against the moist cloth, while at that very moment he settled his mouth on hers to catch the scream he knew would come.
Kagome's eyes shot open with pure shock and wonder at the shot of lightning that raced up and down her body. She screamed into his mouth then groaned at the fierceness of the feeling. Her arms went around his waist then.
Sesshoumaru could feel his body get even more rigid with need. He wanted so badly to push into her, but it wasn't time. Not yet. His hand moved down further to her thigh. His fingers played against her sensitized flesh as he softened his kiss against her as his mind focused on the haven between her legs. He opened her legs wider then moved his hand back up to her secret place and rubbed his fingers against the moistness there. He felt her thighs try to close again and moved to lie between them in an attempt to keep her legs open for him.
"No. Open," he breathed against her swollen lips.
Kagome had no choice, but to spread her legs then; his body was in her way. Kagome rubbed her hands over his back and she reveled at the feel of his satiny skin. She could feel his muscles bunch and sighed at the strength in him. She brought her hands around to his chest and rubbed the tight male nipples she found there before traveling down over his tight stomach and abs to the muscles there. She silently explored his body with her hands the way he did hers with his eyes. He was beautiful and muscular. She shivered in pleasure when she felt him shudder. She couldn't believe she could do that to him.
Sesshoumaru felt her hands roaming his chest and was shocked at the sensations she evoked. He'd never had anyone's touch effect him like this. It was mind numbing... for a moment `til he remembered where he was at... between her creamy thighs. His body shuddered at the feel of her softness, of her thighs pressed against his hips. As he licked the seam of her lips he stuck out a claw and cut the barrier of clothing between her legs. Leaving her open for the taking. He didn't deepen the kiss because he wanted her mind to be focused on what his hand was doing between her thighs.
Kagome felt the swish of air over her moist and swollen flesh and moaned. She wasn't sure if it was a moan of protest or pleasure though. When she felt his fingers touch her exposed flesh for the first time; she sighed and decided it was pleasure. When his finger rubbed against a certain spot, a spot she had no idea was there, her hips bucked against him as she sucked in her breath from the intense sensation.
Sesshoumaru touched the moist folds between her legs with a slow swirl of his finger. He was caught up in the heat of her. He wanted her with every ounce of his body, every ounce of his blood. And she wanted him. He could feel her arousal, smell it in the sheen of sweat on her flesh. Words were superfluous.
When her hips lifted, when he found that secret spot that every woman had, he slowly slipped a finger inside her warm sheath. He heard her sigh as she lifted her hips to take more of his finger insider her.
Kagome couldn't think with the power of the sensations he was sending through her. Her head was thrashing back and forth as he pushed his finger in and out of her in a rhythmic motion. Kagome's hips shot up when he slipped another finger inside to join with the first one. The stretched feeling was shattering in its newness. She felt like she was floating on air and all these little stars were blinking all around her. She felt a pressure growing in her abdomen and wondered at it.
"Sesshou...maru..."
Sesshoumaru heard her whisper his name and could hear the plea in her voice. He trailed his lips down the middle of her body between her heaving breasts and over her bellybutton as he slid down her body. He could tell she was close to the edge and decided to push her further as he moved lower.
"I know," he whispered to her.
Kagome heard his silky voice as it washed over her. She sighed as his lips traveled down her heated flesh. She felt his fingers leave her and had a moment of disappointment. Then her eyes shot open when she felt his mouth against her heat. `Oh, my God!' When his tongue licked the swollen lips between her legs she shuddered violently.
Sesshoumaru used his hand to spread her folds so he could get to her juices. He lapped and sucked at her as if he would starve if he stopped. He could feel her body tighten as he rubbed his lips in her nectar. He heard her breathing hitch as she came closer to her release. He brought his hand up to rub her breast making her nipple poke between his fingers as he squeezed their roundness.
Kagome could feel the pressure building, sending her to a place she'd never been and never dreamed of going. A place only her and Sesshoumaru could go. She trembled as she came closer to that imaginary edge. Holding her breath as he pushed her closer and closer to that drop off. When she felt his fingers close around her distended nipple at the same time as his lips closed around that secret spot he'd found and suckled her, she threw back her head and screamed her release and soared to the moon.
"AHHH!!"
Sesshoumaru lapped up her flowing juices as he tried his best to hold her convulsing body against the ground. He didn't worry about anyone hearing her since he'd put up a sound proof barrier around the clearing they were in. He slowed the flicking of his tongue as she slowly came back down to earth. He moved back up her body until he was at her face as he rested his still clothed hips against hers as he waited for her to open her eyes.
When her breathing regulated she opened her eyes to find his gold ones staring down at her.
"Are you alright?"
She nodded her head in answer, as she still couldn't find her voice. Taking a deep breath she asked him her question.
"Is that it?"
She saw a slow smile spread across his face and almost died from the shock of it. `God he's beautiful!" she said to herself in awe. Her eyes widened when he shuck his head in the negative at her, but shut them when he lowered his mouth to hers again.
Kagome could taste herself on his mouth and felt her blood start to flow in answer. She sighed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. When she felt his hand move between her thighs again she willingly let them fall further open.
Sesshoumaru rubbed his hand against her center again then slipped two fingers inside her simultaneously. He spread his fingers in an attempt to prepare her for the width of his shaft. When he felt her juices start to flow again he used his tail to remove his pants, the last barrier that kept them from being flesh to flesh.
Kagome could hear the rustle of clothing but was too far, gone, to recognize what it meant.
Sesshoumaru took one of her hands from around his neck and slowly slid it down his body to his erection. When her hand reached to where he was guiding it he wrapped her fingers around his flesh.
Kagome's eyes opened in dawning realization. She blushed furiously when she understood what her hand was holding. She squeezed him lightly and reveled at the shudder his body gave. She wallowed in the womanly power she had over him. She could fell the heat of his shaft over the velvety soft skin covering his hardness and involuntarily squeezed her hand around him once more. She heard him growl before he removed her hand from his shaft. Kagome opened her eyes to see if she'd accidentally caused him pain.
Sesshoumaru was in pain... just not the kind of pain she was thinking. He was aching to be inside her. The thought of her muscles wrapping around him and squeezing his member the way they were doing to his finger was causing a nice fog to fill his mind. He pressed his fingers further up inside her and could feel her virginal barrier. `She's so tight!'
He'd watched her face as she caressed his flesh and had enjoyed the deep blush that had covered her cheeks. He always did like that, though he didn't understand why she was embarrassed now... after what they'd already done. He thought it was cute. `Cute?'
"Did I hurt you?"
Sesshoumaru saw the concern on her face and tried to calm his racing heart.
"No," he growled and lowered his head to rub his lips on hers. "That is a lesson for another day."
Kagome smiled against his mouth before parting her lips and receiving him. She pushed her tongue into his mouth and slowly licked along his canines. She felt him tremble as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Sesshoumaru started to move the fingers he still had inside her to build her up again. When her hips started to move beneath him and her soft thighs pressed against his hips he slowly pulled his fingers out of her and replaced them with his erection. He was hurting from the need to be deep inside her and had to fight the urge to just slam into her. He heard her suck in her breath when the head of his member pushed against her soft folds. He was trying his hardest to enter her slowly and not hurt her, but with her muscles tensed like they were he didn't know if he could and came to aching stop at her entrance and waited for her.
Kagome went absolutely still when she felt his hardness pressing against her center. Her nerves immediately returned ten fold. `God, is this going to hurt?' Kagome remembered hearing some girls talk about this and how it hurt the first time and began to worry. She tried her best not to panic from the fear, but was failing miserably. She frantically looked up at him and locked her dark gaze with his gold one.
She could see the pain he was in from holding himself back. She could also see his concern for her... she relaxed then. She didn't know what calmed her; the fact that he was causing himself pain to keep from hurting her or the fact that he was in it so much that he didn't have the ability to keep his concern for her out of his eyes. She gave him a slight nod to let him know she was okay.
When he saw her give the signal, Sesshoumaru slowly pushed forward. He could feel her stretching to accommodate his width and length as he sunk further into her moist heat. When he felt her barrier he locked his eyes with hers. He groaned and shut his eyes when she shifted her hips to find a more comfortable position; causing his head to press against her barrier even more.
Kagome sucked in her breath at the pressure building and tried to shift her position again as she stared back at him.
Sesshoumaru slid his hand down her side, over the curve of her hip; he stopped his caress to give her thigh a gentle squeeze before he continued down to her knee. He wrapped his hand in the bend of her knee and slowly lifted her leg into a bent position. He sighed when she caught his meaning and bent her other leg up herself.
Kagome gasped at the sensations the new position provided. She could feel every inch of his shaft inside her. When her eyes caught his again, she shivered at the light she saw there.
Sesshoumaru licked his tongue along her lips that were swollen from his kisses and breathed in her scent as he held his weight up with his one arm.
"You are mine!" he breathed against her mouth.
Figuring he'd save her some pain, he quickly shoved the rest of the way inside her, breaking through her barrier and joining their bodies. At the same time he pressed his open mouth to hers and took in her scream of pain. She'd arched her back with the force of her yell.
"AAHHHH!"
After he was planted to the hilt inside her, he stopped moving and waited for her breathing to regulate and her back to straighten. He could feel her muscles squeezing him as her body worked to get use to the foreign feel of him deep inside her womb. He was trying his hardest to control his breathing as he lowered his chest against her beautiful breasts.
"Okay?" that was all the words he could get out.
Kagome understood he was asking her if the pain was going... and thankfully it was. The pain had receded and become more like an uncomfortable throbbing deep inside her. She wiggled her hips to relieve the odd feeling then shivered when a very nice sensation ceased her from the inside out
Sesshoumaru held his breath when her muscles clamped down around him after she had moved her hips causing his shaft to slide deeper into her womb. He took it as his cue to move and slowly pulled out of her to the tip before pushing back in. He listened to her moan as her hands ran up and down his back.
He growled and shivered when he felt her hands slide over his firm buttocks to hold him inside her. Sesshoumaru started to move faster as he pushed in and out of her, starting a rhythm, a dance that was as old as life itself. Sesshoumaru could feel the pressure building inside her as she began to move with him, lifting her hips to meet his every thrust. Her head was thrashing back and forth as her breathing grew heavier. He watched her and thought he'd never seen a more beautiful sight then she was with her lips slightly parted and the tip of her tongue pressed against her top lip
He leaned down and took the offering she was giving him as he brought his hand to her breast and caressed its round globe. He never slowed his movements with his hips. Then he felt the pressure building inside him and knew his seed was getting ready to be released. Sesshoumaru quickened his pace as everything else faded into the background. Everything was forgotten, but the woman in his arms.
Kagome could feel the pressure pushing her to that edge again... but this time it was different. The edge was higher and he was with her. The power building inside was new to her yet, familiar in away. She'd never felt this way before, but she couldn't shake the strange feeling that she had felt this power before... or part of it.
The pressure kept building inside them both. Higher and higher, like a balloon that would pop at any moment.
"Sesshoumaru...." she panted as she whispered his name in desperation.
Sesshoumaru heard her call and answered the only way he knew how... with a grunt.
They were man and woman, nothing an no one else mattered, but them two. Sesshoumaru could feel his release coming so he placed his hand between their two bodies and rubbed the pad of his thumb along that special spot to bring her with him.
With the flick of his thumb Kagome's whole world shattered as the bubble of power inside her popped and sent her soaring. Just then Kagome threw her head back as she arched her back and screamed her release. Her eyes were squeezed shut to the world.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
Her scream was loud and long as her muscles clamped down around him and squeezed his release from him, but unbeknownst to Kagome the power she felt was also her own miko power building inside her. When she threw back her head and screamed her release she'd also released a bright purifying fuscia light of her power from her open mouth.
{Think; Mila Jovavich's character at the end of the movie Fifth Element}
Sesshoumaru released his seed inside her womb when her muscles tightened along his erection. Through the slit of his eyelids he saw the stream of power she released, but didn't have the strength to worry about being purified. `There are worse ways to die... much worse,' was all he could think, before a sudden tingly warmth took over his body. The warmth built into an extreme heat where he figured that was it, he was about to die, when the heat suddenly died down and he collapsed on top of her breathing hard.
~*Back at the camp*~
Sango and Mirouku shot up out of their sleep when they heard the scream.
"Did you hear that?" asked Mirouku.
"I'm up aren't I?" Sango answered in irritation. She hated being woken up before she was ready too. She saw the look on Mirouku's face and sighed. `That doesn't mean take it out on Mirouku, Sango.' Sango sighed in defeat.
"Sorry," she said to him. "I didn't mean to snap at you."
"Its alright. You never were a morning person."
"Yea, especially when its not even morning yet."
Mirouku smiled at the sour look on his love's face. He'd never get tired of seeing that.
"What do you think it was?"
He shrugged his shoulders as he thought about it, than sighed.
"I have no idea. But, whatever it was... its not far away."
They stared at one another for a moment as they thought about what it could mean. Whether they should get the children up.
Sango had noticed Kagome and Sesshoumaru weren't back and hoped they were okay.
"It was Kagome screaming."
Mirouku and Sango both swiveled around in surprise at the unexpected voice. They both sighed in relief when they saw the hanyou standing their looking like he'd just come from running at a great speed.
Inuyasha looked around the camp and felt a little uneasy. Something wasn't right.
"What did you say Inuyasha?" asked Sango bringing the hanyou out of his thoughts.
"I said what you heard was Kagome screaming."
"WHAT!?!" they yelled in unison.
"How do you know Inuyasha?" asked Mirouku.
Inuyasha looked away from them towards the same path that Sesshoumaru had followed Kagome down hours ago.
"I know Kagome," he replied. "It came from that direction."
They were all silent as they stared down the path that led into the forest.
"Well, then," began Sango as she got to her feet and grabbed Hirakotsu, "Lets go check it out."
Mirouku nodded and got to his feet as they followed quickly behind Inuyasha; trying their best to keep up with the hanyou. They were a ways away from the camp when they watched as Inuyasha ran into an imaginary shield and was thrown backwards. He landed on his back in the dirt and slid across the ground. He got to his feet as the taijiya and the houshi stopped beside him
"Inuyasha what happened?" asked Sango in surprise.
"There's a barrier."
"A barrier.... really?" asked Mirouku as he walked forward slowly to investigate.
"Keep back you idiot! If I couldn't touch it, what makes you think you can!!"
"Calm down Inuyasha. I just want to check something."
"Its probably the work of that asshole Sesshoumaru..." he whispered darkly loud enough for the houshi and the exterminator to hear.
Mirouku ignored his friend as he pressed his hand lightly against the spot where he believed the barrier was. He felt a heat surround his hand, but nothing else happened.
`This is the work of a miko... a powerful one, but not a dark miko.' He brought his hand away as he understood what it was. `Kagome...' He figured she was probably bathing as he remembered there was a river down the path they were on.
Sango watched curiously as she prayed Kagome was okay. She hoped they both were okay.
"The barrier is from Kagome. She must be fine since it is still up. As long as we don't try to pass through, it will not harm us."
Sango sighed in relief. She had no idea what Kagome and the Taiyoukai were doing, but she planned on asking tomorrow.
"Are you sure Mirouku? Kagome's okay?" asked Sango worriedly.
Mirouku eyes softened when they rested on the woman he loved and smiled mischievously at her.
"Yea, I'm sure. Though... I wonder what she's doing..." he grinned.
"Pervert.'' Sango sighed at the familiar look in his eyes and fought down a smile. She knew he was thinking the miko was taking a bath, but Sango knew she wasn't, because she knew Sesshoumaru was in there.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?"
They all turned at the sweet little voice from behind them. When Sango saw Rin she immediately gathered the child into her arms and took her back to camp as she assured the child that her guardian was safe and sound.
That's when Inuyasha realized what had been bothering him about the campsite. The Taiyoukai and Kagome weren't there. He'd wondered about that then. Now, he looked to the barrier and wondered whether his brother was on the other side with Kagome. `He better not be hurting her!' he growled low as he stared at the barrier with angry eyes.
"Sesshoumaru..." he said in a deadly whisper.
Mirouku had already started to head back to camp when he heard a sound come from his friend. He couldn't make out what he said though.
"What was that Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha turned to the houshi and saw his surprised look when there eyes connected before he moved towards his friend and away from the barrier.
"Nothing."
Mirouku heard Inuyasha's whispered answer as he passed him on his way back to the camp. He gave his friend a puzzled look as he watched his retreating back. Mirouku gave the barrier one last curious look over his shoulder before he followed the rest back to the camp to get more sleep... the sun would be rising in a few more hours. `His eyes... I wonder what about that barrier has made Inuyasha so mad?'
~*Back by the river*~
Sesshoumaru was shocked! He'd never had an experience like that. He'd never lost himself in the feel of a mate and not care about what was going on around him. He'd always kept one eye open; it was who he was. He was an expert at love making because he kept himself emotionally closed off from it. He'd get what he want, satisfy the female, and be on his way. `What happened?'
Not only that, he'd also sensed that his soundproof barrier was gone. He figured it must have been destroyed from the power she released. He lifted his head to look around him. He could sense her powers all around them, then he saw the static in the wind and knew she'd put up a barrier in place of his. He wondered if she did it on purpose. He looked down at her and saw that her eyes were closed in sleep, but there was a huge smile on her face. He guessed he'd satisfied the little miko.
"Kagome?"
Sesshoumaru brought his hand up to pat her cheek lightly. When she didn't open her eyes he tried again.
"Kagome!!" he called a little more forcefully.
He brought up his other hand to press against her other cheek and was just about to call her name again... when he froze and went pale in disbelief.
That was how Kagome saw him when she woke up a few seconds later and opened her eyes.
Kagome recognized the look of pure shock on his face and wondered. His face was paler then usual and she wondered if she might have done something wrong.
"Sesshoumaru?"
His eyes shifted to hers and held.
Kagome was getting worried; he had the strangest look in his eyes.
"Sesshoumaru, what's wrong?"
Sesshoumaru could sense her panic and blinked as he tried to make sense of what he saw. `She did it. It had to have been that tingling feeling I felt from her power. She wasn't purifying me.' He shuck his head and tried to find his voice, but couldn't so, he told her the only way he knew how... he shifted his eyes to his palm on her face.
Kagome had no idea what was going on. All she could see was his eyes shifting back and forth; it was making her nervous. She brought her hands up to place them over his; her palms to the back of his hands.
"Sessshou..." she began only to trail off in confused shock.
`TWO HANDS! He... he has...has two hands,' she thought as she stared back at him in wide-eyed surprise and shock.
"How... how did... you..." she trailed off? She knew what she wanted to ask, but had no idea how to get it out.
Sesshoumaru stared into her eyes. He still couldn't believe that instead of purifying him she helped him. He wondered what it meant.
"You." He understood perfectly well what she was asking. "You did it, Kagome."

Orchidaceae: As you see, there were no interruptions! YAY! As for Naraku, he put himself in the mirror. You'll learn more soon. Kagura will explain why only Kag and Sessh can sense her and as for Inu... he really doesn't have a choice where it comes to Kagome.
Amyfushigiyugi: Is this fast enough? Do I get my lollipops???
Izedragn: Thank you. I hope Kagura and Kanna get freedom too. (well, I already know, but I'm not telling... unless you have something sweet to bribe me with, hm)
EvIL2: To tell you the truth, I have absolutely no idea how his name is spelled. I've seen it both ways, and I'm sorry to admit that I don't really READ the end credits on the anime... I just like to pretend I know the words to the song! ^_^
Red Hat: Don't worry, the bitch will get hers! Hehehe
Glass Thorn: Love your name!!
And for everyone else; thank you so much for the reviews! I appreciate it more then you know. I would write out every last one of your names, but my fingers are going numb...so, I'm cheating! Forgive me, and I hope I answered everyone who asked me a question, if not feel free to email me with a nasty-gram and I will answer you. Promise!
A/Q: Does anyone think this was too long?? Do you think I drew it out too much?
Fang: "Yes, dammit!"
(A young woman with long purple hair, tan, silver eyes and a star on her forehead that looks a lot like the Christmas star comes out.)
Duchess: ;;rolls eyes;; "Everyone meet Fang. My muse..." *turning to Fang* "And, who asked you??"
Fang: "You didn't specify"
Duchess: "If it sucks, its your fault! You're my muse! What the hell are you doing!?!" ;;takes a deep breath;; Now to you readers, our cast wants to speak. They've been bugging me to speak and since I can't come up with anymore excuses...here they are.
(Kagome, Sango, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Mirouku, Shippou and Kirara comes out)
Duchess: "So, guys how do you like the story so far?
Mirouku: "Its good Duchess."
Duchess: Yea, I bet. Your just happy you're with Sango.
Mirouku: *grins hugely*
Sango: *blushes furiously* "Hentai!" *smacks the houshi in the head*
Duchess: "And the chapter?"
Kagome: *blushes deeply and lowers her eyes*
Sesshoumaru: "It could have been worse?"
Duchess: "Yea, I knew you'd like it!"
Sesshoumaru: "I didn't say that."
Duchess: "Yea, and you didn't not say it either!" *grins knowingly*
Inuyasha: "Yea and it could have been better!
Duchess: "Oh!" * narrows eyes dangerously * "And how's that?"
(Everyone except for Sesshou and Inu take a precautionary step back when they see the look in her eyes)
Inuyasha: * clueless as usual * "It could've been me and Kagome. You'd have received more reviews! "Stupid!"
Duchess: "Stupid?" * eyes begin to glow with a bright light blue light * (everyone takes another step back) "STUPID!!?? So, I'm STUPID, am I Inuyasha?!"
Inuyasha: *realizing his mistake* "Hehhehe... Now, Duchess... calm down. I didn't me--" ::he gets cut off by a beam of energy hitting him in the ass!::
>ZING!<
Duchess: "Bastard!!"
Fang: "Duchess?"
Duchess: "SHUT UP FANG!" *huffs in irritation * "Now, I'm going to bed. And Inuyasha...pray that I don't put you with Mirouku in the story me and Fang are working on next."
(Duchess watched the look of pure horror come over his face, before she turned to walk away)
"There you have it people... the cast... or at least most of them!" (shakes head in disgust)
Sesshoumaru: "You asked for that one baka. I don't know how you didn't see it coming. And thanks to you, now I have to wait `til later to address that `idiot' remark she made in the last chapter."
Kagome: "Oh, yeah!" (humph)
Shippou: "It was nice meeting you, minna!! Bye, bye."
