Chapter 15: Regression
 
Kagome felt warmth engulf her as she implemented the last of her strength, a tear streaking across her cheek as she drew on more power than she knew she had. Just when she thought that she had exhausted her miko energy, she was slammed back into solidity, and woke up in a handsome youkai's arms.
 
“Ohayo, Sesshomaru-sama. It looks like your mate will be fine.” Said the timid little tanuki youkai servant.
 
Kagome had altered her set fate.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Kagome's eyes immediately welled up with tears as she peered into Sesshomaru's face, holding his head close to hers with her now warm hands. She lowered her lips to his, reveling in the taste of his lips against hers once again. She moaned into his mouth when he pushed her back onto the bed and slipped his tongue against hers, as well as positioning his knee against the junction of her legs. Breathless, Kagome clutched Sesshomaru against her as if he would turn into dust if she didn't.
 
“I missed you, Sessho…” She looked into his eyes, which were a lot softer than usual. He had gone through hell when she wasn't there by his side, and would give up anything to have her back. Now that she was back…he would never let go.
 
“I missed you too, koi.” He kissed her forehead, then lazily traced his tongue along her cheek, making her giggle. Sucking on her lower lip, he grinned as he heard her moan against, being so glad that he was actually hearing the pleasant sound emerge from her lips. He was grateful that he was actually able to elicit these sounds from her once again.
 
Moving down, he paid special attention to her neck, and nipped at his fading mark. `Hm…need to make a note of that.' Kagome whimpered when he licked over the fading wound and fisted her hands in his long silver hair. She brought his head up again to capture his lips in a breathless, hurried kiss, slashing his lips across her already swollen ones. She moaned against him and grasped on his forearms.
 
“Sesshomaru…” She whispered his name against his head as he continued downwards, opening her yukata to reveal her breasts, immediately attacking them, causing her to cry out and arch against him, pushing the soft mounds into his face.
 
“Yes, koi…?” Sesshomaru teased her while drawing his tongue across her nipples and slightly nibbling on them. He chuckled when she tried to catch her breath in order to actually communicate…he loved to torture her this way.
 
“Onegai!” She grasped at his silken haori, willing it to go away so she could feel his skin against hers. Emphasizing what she wanted, she pressed her heat and wetness up against his erection, biting her lip as a tinge of pleasure made its way up her spine. Not wanting to go too fast, Sesshomaru continued to tease her, putting pressure on her core with his knee, and making her buck against it. He removed the rest of her clothing and tossed it into some unknown area in the room, then immediately pressed his thumb against her clit, making her cry out even louder.
 
“I'm sorry, koi, I don't know what you want.” Sesshomaru smirked as he continued to play with her entrance, but never slipping a digit in. She was breathing hard now, trying to keep in control as the pleasure mounted and the room filled with her squeals and whimpers.
 
“Sesshomaru!” Kagome cried out, having enough of this play and wanting him. “Tell me what you want, koi…” He said calmly, mocking her distressed and frayed nerves as she came close to release.
 
“Do you want me, koi?” He pressed a finger against her entrance, teasing her once again. He was rewarded with a loud moan and he smirked again. “What was that, Kagome?” He laughed and kissed her on the lips, understanding that she probably couldn't communicate very well when she was on the verge of an exploding orgasm. He quickly shed his clothes and kissed her cheek, then gave her what she wanted. Thrusting hard into her sopping wet core, he watched her face light up with renewed pleasure after having come so close to her climax. This time, making love would be all about pleasure for his delectable little miko, and not pain.
 
Going ultimately slow, he waited until she gave consent for him to go faster. The painstaking task of controlling his raging youkai blood while he glided into her tight entrance was no longer needed, however. “Faster…!”
 
“Gladly.”
 
At first, her hips tried to keep up with his thrusts while she wrapped her legs over his shoulders, allowing him to drive deeper into her. “Harder…Onegai!” He let the last of his control unleash his youkai as his eyes bled into redness, and became a blur as he thrust into her with speed that she could only wish to keep up with. She gasped when she saw his red eyes, and a small hint of fear rose in her scent, alerting the still sane youkai above her. Nuzzling her neck and growling softly, she was content again, knowing that she was safe.
 
When her walls began to constrict, thrusting into her was made harder and he groaned against her. “So tight…” Kagome blushed, but forgot her embarrassment when she experienced an earth-shattering release. She started to relax against the many pillows, but cried out when she realized Sesshomaru wasn't done. He had pressed his pelvis against hers to stimulate her already sensitive clit and get her excited again. The goldness in his eyes started to return and he smirked, then flipped Kagome onto her back, helping her up to her hands and knees.
 
Kagome was already duly exhausted, but was ready for round 2…but not expecting it to be like this. Sensing her nervousness, Sesshomaru curled over her back and whispered in her ear. “Just relax.” He made her tension disappear when he slipped his tongue inside of her ear, causing her to giggle.
 
She screamed as he slipped into her already wet core once again, marveling in the fact that she was still so tight and hot. He groaned when he thrust into her, learning that this position would allow him to thrust deeper into her. She cried out as his member his sensitive spots inside of her, causing all of the heat to return to her lower belly, and grow exponentially. She couldn't help but clench around him as his perfection drove into her and made her feel so alive. They fit each other perfectly…were they soulmates?
 
Kagome let a tear slip down onto the sheets as she experienced an even more intense orgasm at the same time that Sesshomaru released his seed into her, collapsing onto the bed. From behind, Sesshomaru drove his fangs into her, making her cry out and spasm, not expecting the sudden pain. “Gomen…” He licked off the blood and felt rejuvenated by it. He lifted her off of the bed by her waist, and flipped around so she lay on top of him.
 
“Kagome…would you like to be wholly mated?” Kagome gave him a confused look as she rested on his chest, still breathing hard. “We are mated because I have taken your blood, but not completely bound because you have not taken mine.” Kagome gasped.
 
“I…have to bite you?” She felt her dull teeth and drew her eyebrows up in confusion. Sesshomaru chuckled. “No, I'll inflict the wound.” He drew his finger across his fang and offered it to her. She wanted to become apart of Sesshomaru…and let him have all of her, wanting all of him in return. She took said finger and put it across her tongue, feeling ultimately aroused in an instant as she sucked on it, and cleaned the small cut.
 
“Ai shiteru…” Sesshomaru said as she accepted to be his complete mate without knowing what would happen to her later on. He smiled as he sensed her arousal. The first step of the change in her had begun. The rest would be tough on her, but he would always be there to help her through it.
 
“I love you too, Sessho.” With that said, both lovers fell into a deeply calm and content sleep.
 
~~
Kagome awoke to the happy chatter of Rin coming from right outside the shoji door. She smiled and moved to get up, but stopped when she heard Sesshomaru's voice.
 
“What do you mean, Rin?” The taiyoukai answered the little girl, the question going unheard by Kagome.
 
“Rin means…why aren't the other pretty lady and the funny purple man here too?” Kagome took in a sharp breath and covered her mouth with her hand. She was asking about Sango and Miroku…She let a single tear roll down to her chin.
 
“And, Sesshomaru-sama…Rin misses Shippou-chan!” Kagome widened her eyes. She wanted to rush out there, grab Rin by the shoulders and tell her the gruesome tale of how Shippou's heart was brutally ripped out of his body…how Sango was beheaded by her own brother…and how Miroku was impaled by his own weapon. She blinked back the tears, but to no avail. Trying to control her emotions, she covered her face with her hands and took deep breaths. She was severely distressed by her depression, and feared that she would slip into a place where Sesshomaru couldn't reach her. She needed to be strong for him…
 
~~
Sesshomaru slipped back into his room to see if Kagome was awake. The little girl he had previously conversed with made questions pop into his head concerning his mates friends. When they had made love that morning, he couldn't trace any sorrow in her aura, and wondered if the reality of everything had hit her yet. When he walked into his room, his eyes fell upon the broken female that sat slumped on his bed. Her tears were evident because they ran down her face, giving an eerie look to her already porcelain doll features as she stared into some corner of the room. Her eyes weren't fazed as he knelt before her, and took her hands.
 
“Kagome…It…was not some sick dream. Sango…Miroku…Shi—” Kagome's sob stopped him, and he decided to embrace her instead. Her already broken heart had sought his for comfort…and it was given. However, this time Sesshomaru wasn't sure if he could pick up the pieces of her tortured soul. Her soulless eyes made him feel uneasy…as if she wasn't really there. She was withdrawing into the deep recesses of her mind, and he afraid she would never return to him.
 
Grabbing her shoulders, he voiced an idea. “Kagome, the jewel. Wish them back.” He saw a glint of determination in her eyes as she looked down at the cursed chain around her next, and unclasped it. She gazed into the pink orb that could make or break her. He stood up, and helped her off of the bed.
 
“Sesshomaru…the wish must be completely humble and unselfish…” She looked up at him, apprehension filling her beautiful eyes as she contemplated how to manipulate the jewel to comply with her wish. She didn't want to taint the jewel with evil again, but she wasn't sure if that could be avoided.
 
Putting the Shikon in between their outstretched hands, Kagome called out for Midoriko to guide her through this. She didn't know exactly what she was doing, but was determined to do justice to her fallen comrades.
 
`Midoriko-sama…?' Kagome called out in her mind, now aware that Sesshomaru could hear her because of their bond. He waited patiently for the ancient miko to answer Kagome's call, and was startled when she actually did.
 
Hai, Kagome-sama…What is it that you need? Kagome explained their predicament to the miko, and could almost feel the doubt radiating off the apparition in her head. Sesshomaru could also feel the anxiety from his mate, and pressed against her hands harder, just to let her know that he would always be there. He had mated an enigma…a true tenshi that was descended from the gods themselves. He would help her through this any way he could…
 
Kagome…I'm not sure this is going to work. The Fates have already been disrupted once when your death was interrupted…Kagome could hear Sesshomaru growl when her near death experience was mentioned…she would have to explain that later. He calmed when she told him this telepathically.
 
`But…Midoriko, it is already done…it wouldn't be altering fate because they are already dead.' Hai, Kagome-sama, you are indeed correct. But it would be altering fate to change the way things are.
 
Kagome contemplated. `I don't understand…'
 
It would be altering fate because they are content in the afterlife, Kagome-sama. If you were to bring them back from the dead, the balance in the world would be set off because it is not their wish to be alive. They have succeeded in their destiny…However, you need to move on.
At this, Kagome opened her eyes and looked into Sesshomaru's, dropping the jewel in surprise. She would not be able to bring her friends back without consequence… Sesshomaru looked into her eyes as he realized that she would never see her friends again. Her eyes lost their happy glow, and became empty instead of the deep cerulean that he could get lost in. She paled when she pondered the fact that her family was gone forever.
 
“I still have you…” Sesshomaru embraced her when she said this and let her cry into his haori. She fisted her hands in its silken softness pulling Sesshomaru closer to her as she let the salty wetness run down her cheeks and soak into his clothing. She let all of her sorrow out while he held her, his arms around her waist where he could feel all of her trembling and the impact of her heaving sobs. The world was crashing down around her. If she hadn't altered fate in order to stay alive, someone else might have wished her friends back. She didn't deserve to live…
“What are you thinking, koi?” Sesshomaru lifted her chin to kiss away the tears and softly brush against her lips. She needed to be comforted, so he did it in the best way he could. Making his way over to the bed, he sat down and positioned her in his lap so that she could rest against his back. He looked down at her mass of raven hair, and rested his chin on the top of her head, content once he inhaled her scent.
 
“When I was in a coma after the battle…I had an ongoing dream…I had given up on life…” She sobbed when she revealed these things. “I was ready to leave you…I'm so sorry. I can't go on without my friends…they were my family!” She twiddled her thumbs, afraid that he would be mad with her after he had taken care of her. “Go on…” He stroked her hair to soothe her.
 
“But…Midoriko showed me what you would do if I were to die…So I decided to live for you…this changed fate, and now I can't bring back my friends because I was selfish enough to think of myself first!” She continued to cry and let Sesshomaru piece the puzzle together. `She thinks that she was only thinking of herself when she lived for me…?'
 
“Kagome…you were looking out for other people that would have most likely faced my wrath if you died.” She tilted her head back to look at him, her lips parted slightly.
 
“Honto…?” Kagome asked. If her friends were content in heaven, she had no need to justify her actions. She wasn't selfish…Sesshomaru tried to show her that.
 
“Honto, koi!” Sesshomaru answered, and watched as her face slipped into a peaceful expression. That was all she needed…Sesshomaru was everything to her, and all she needed was reassurance. She settled against his back, tranquility lacing her aura as she drifted off into a light slumber, her sorrow taking a toll on her body.
