We stopped right outside of an old mystical cave we used to play in when we were kids. This is where my first kiss was and this is where he was almost murdered for said action. We were lucky that it was Sesshomaru who found us and not my father or one of the guards. Well he was only a little bit lucky cause while he was getting beaten to a pulp by my Sesshy I couldn't help but sit there and think of why Sessh wouldn't take my lips in a searing kiss. Why he couldn't wrap his strong and capable arms around me. That was all it was, was just a bunch of whys and wouldnt's and maybe's. But then when he looked at me with his now sunburnt amber eyes I was completely mesmerized Just then I could have believed the entire sky was falling and not realized. At that moment I knew what was happening between me and my best friend ….we were falling in love or should I say already fell but not all the way. There was always things in the way of something actually happening. But was there now? Here in this cave I doubted it.
“I have brought you here to ask you something” he said simply with a glint in his eyes.
“And what would that be my lord?” He looked at me then and said something that almost threw me off of my carousel
“I wanted to bring you to the place where your first kiss was taken from you and where mine was given as well.”
“That kiss was not 'taken' just so you know also this is not only where you kissed that horrid demoness you called a 'concubine' it is where you lost your virginity and brought every other 'concubine' you had to rut with!” I finished exasperated after the thought of him with all those other females just rubbed me the wrong way and why would he bring that up after I started to feel that tingling feeling?! But why was I acting so strongly I look like a fool right now acting like a complete jealous child.
“ Kagome please let me finish will you?”
“Yes”
“Alright...” He continued.
Sesshomaru
When I seen that look upon her face she looked like the fairy he knew was under her tough outer core. She was exquisite to say the least....always beautiful always timeless.
“Kagome I brought you to this place with all these memories because I want to tie off the past with our future.”
“I am not understanding what you mean Sesshomaru.”
“Woman can I please get out what I came here to get out in one piece before I flee as I stated I would out of my secret exit?” I was not angry at her by all means but I was starting to get nervous and I do not like to feel that kind of uncertainty coming off of any subject let alone the one I was about to bring up.
“Continue please my lord.” She then smiled and bowed to me respectfully. And how I love when her ebony blue hair cascaded down her front shoulders and sprawled comfortably around her bountiful breasts. Dammit I am making it very difficult for myself. I need to get this out. NOW.
“I want to court you. And I want to take back the kiss that should have rightfully been mine in the first place.” I finished while pulling her to me. I put my mouth to hers and as I closed my eyes to enjoy this heaven of life in front of me I heard her moan into my cavern. I was very pleased how she responded to me just like an alpha female should respond to her life mate. I knew I needed to stop myself soon so I could at least speak to her of the terms about the union she was about to go on with. I continued to indulge myself in the sweet satisfaction a little longer before I pulled away but not before I could place one gentle kiss to her forehead where her Diamond heart lay embedded in her velvet skin. It was the Northern territories mark upon her but one that is specifically made just for her heart of purity. Just as I was born with my crescent moon upon me she was born with her marking. No one could explain the reason why she came out with the diamond shaped the way it was...it just was. And since the day she was born she was known as the Timeless Heart of the Northern Lands one that will not age one that will not break and one that was a force to be reckoned with. Somehow we both ended up on the powerful stick with responsibilities and brutal training daily until we became the ruling lords of our territories. She smiled and surprised me by what she did next.”
Kagome
As soon as he bent away from me I jumped on him and kissed him as passion filled as I could just to let him know of how happy I just became within that short amount of time. He wrapped his arms around me and held me tight against his muscular form. I just wanted to be closer to him now but I knew it was forbidden to lay with a lord and or queen if not properly courted and pronounced. So I pulled away abruptly before I started something that could get us both in some serious trouble.
“We can't I'm sorry I don't know what came over me. Huh? You just made me very happy though.”
I smiled my brightest smile at him in return he gave me one of his crooked smirks of enjoyment that he said was only invented after he met me.
“You do not know how very happy you make me every day of my existence do you?”
“Well I do know that you are mine now and you have to do as I say” I said mischievously with a glint in my eyes.
“I am yours just as I have always been and you were always mine to begin with and no woman I will not bend to your will just because you are to become my mate and bear my children.”
“Bet?” I looked at him with the look my mother taught me how to use when dealing with these type of situations. And my mother has never failed me, including this time, in advice.
“No there will be no bet Kagome now can we get off this subject?”
“Fine. I will name my conditions about the mating MY lord.” I laughed at the ending I just couldn't help it when he was being so serious over one little look I gave him. Hes just mad because I always get my way with him. OOH uh that sounded bad but its true just not that way. Well yet. I smiled yet again and then I thought of my conditions.
“okay I want you to promise that hmmmm....wait let me think.”
“you mean to tell me you do not know of any conditions as of this moment.?”
“No Sessh I'm sorry to tell you but I did not think that I would be planning my future this night..”
“Understood. Continue.”
“Well I don't know my lord just the common conditions?” It came out more like a question than a for sure answer.
“Alright so you want me to court you for 3 months correct?” he glanced at me and then I shuddered at the thought of actually going through with the mating. I was going to be beneath him in three months time!
“I suppose.” which is what lamely came out.
“Is that the rest of your conditions? You can have me kill something or bring you a trophy of some kind to prove myself to you kagome.” Then I thought of it.
“Okay! I came up with the perfect conditions! First you will have to hunt for me at least twice a day for a month.” he smiled at me with his brilliant whites.
“Second you will have to give me a gift that is not bought but crafted which only comes from the heart.” This is where I started to get nervous and and anxious feeling swept through my belly.
“Third you will have to give me your whole heart.” I finished with a serious tone that came off as disturbing for me but he knew that when I became serious like I did that I meant what I said.
“You Kagome have my heart already.” He went to touch my cheek but I turned away.
“I know you love me Sessh and I know you would never let a thing touch me that was to harm me. But you do not love me like a mate should his female. I know that what we have is starting to turn in something more but I can't just mate you for the wrong reasons. It is forever Sesshomaru we cannot get out of a mating. I want you to love me unconditionally. I need you to be fully mine in mind body and soul.” I viewed the distance between us as I did he slid his hand up to my face and made me look deep into his eyes.
“Listen to me Kagome. I have difficulties trying to explain my feelings to others and I need you to know that.” I smiled again at him for even having to say that.
“Yes, I know you have problems with expressing your love or feelings towards someone. Remember I was there when you were talked into taking another 'concubine' and you brought her those ugly yellow flowers.” When I saw his face then I could almost bust out with laughter.
“That was none of your concern and those flowers were picked fresh. You just don't like the color.”
“That is true. But my conditions still stand Sessh. I know when people are meant to be together. Just ask my diamond.” My diamond heart shone through the whole cave then and lit up the area.
“I can feel it remember?” I said incredulously.
“I know your family power miko. You forget I grew up with the Northern Lands as allies. Even your brother has that power. He on the other hand is a whole other story.” Well gees he does know all about me hello? I told myself as yet again I spoke on the conditions.
“I still need for you to love me not just be with me.” That was all I said as I walked out of the cave I noticed it was already dark out and that I would have to use some elements to get home without the help of the demon I left in the cave to contemplate. I could hear him walking after me but I did not want to speak any more on the subject. So I just lifted myself in the air with wind and flew off back to my castle.
Sesshomaru
As she walked out of the cave it finally dawned on me that I must fall in love with her. I sighed as I started to walk after her.
“She couldn't have gone far that is if she did not leave me here.” When I reached the outside of the cave I felt her energy leave somewhere in the sky.
“Oh so she wants to play around huh? We'll see about that.” I lept into the air and flew on my demon energy cloud and headed north. She would see the consequences of leaving me all alone like she did. My smile went on for as long as it took me to catch her scent on the air then I was gone.
Kagome
I was almost to my castle when I heard the wind warning me of something and before I even knew what hit me Sesshomaru snatched me out of the sky with my gasp of surprise to stand on his demon cloud.
“Wha! What are you doing! You crazy demon!”
“Woman could you please refrain yourself from calling me such. I do not call you names.” He spoke in my ear with a husky tone. I melted.
“Habit”
“Calling me names?” he pondered
“No Sessh me being startled and calling out whatever comes to mind.” I replied sheepishly.
“I also did it on purpose so I do believe you have some inclination to call me what you will.”
“Good because right now I'm going to run away from you and call you all the names I can! Bye!”
She squealed as she flew into the air with the wind to push her even faster to her home. All I could see when I looked over my shoulder was a white flash coming my way. That's when I realized he was using his energy ball to catch me faster. 'No fair!'
'He is gonna get me....I feel him getting closer!'
I pushed the wind to glide me faster until I could see the moonlit castle in the distance. I slowed down a bit before I flew right into my bedroom window. I landed upon the massive marble balcony that adorns the back of my castle. Every time we receive a visitor they always tell us how crystal like my castle is. The stone is a marble that has crystals built into the wall by my ancestors. These crystals are my families precious magic. They were built into the marble to prevent the grounds from ever receiving any destructing damage during times of war or damage from time and weather. So as I walked into my rooms I glanced out the window and I could have sworn I seen something dark. A black figure to be exact and it gave me one of the most unsafe feelings in my life. Something was here I don't know what but something is on the grounds of my home and I want it gone! I hurried out of my rooms and called to my brother.
“Kenchi!Come quick!” Then my brother was running to me the next instant worried something has happened to me.
“No I'm fine brother but there is someone on the grounds I can feel an ominous presence and I do not like it do close to my home. It was a black figure that is all I seen before it vanished.”
Kenchi looked at me with what I could see frustration and worry. Why was he so flustered?
“I will take care of it go to your rooms Bubbles.” He turned down the family room hallway and was gone the next instant. I sighed and just stood there. I had a lot to think about with me about to be mated and the terms that I laid out for Sesshomaru. All I want is for him to fully love me and he cannot do that if he does not even know what love is in that way. He has never fallen in love with another woman he has just had ruts. Nothing more. I wish it wasn’t as difficult for him to return the feelings I have felt for him over fifty years now. I knew I felt something more between us fifty years ago when he was to dance with me at my coming of age ball. He was always so stunningly handsome that I almost couldn't help but fall for my best friend. So there I stood looking at all of the portraits of our family and friends. I looked at the portrait of me and my brother and Sesshomaru. It was one of my favorites, in fact I had another one painted just to go into my chambers. We were all just so close growing up. I don;t know what I would do without my boys. I turned around the elegant hallway and went to my oak wood door and pushed upon the enormous piece of old wood and went inside of my rooms. 'I wonder where Sessh could be? He never takes this long to catch me' I wen to my balcony and peeked out into the darkness. I seen him. There in all his glory of ' The Killing Perfection' he stood just on the outskirts of gate looking now in my direction. I couldn't help the heat that rushed to my cheeks at that moment. The moonlight shown upon his smooth as marble skin and went to the tips of his gorgeous hair. He was everything that I could ever want. And I did want him just could not yet have him. So I turned away and went to lie down for the night. I just figured that if the dark figure was important then there would have been more of an up roar right? Well I could be wrong.
