Chapter Ten: A Fully Fledged Miko's Arrow in a Castle Full of Youkai

“Ahhh!” Kagome gasped as her back slammed into the wall. “I thought…you were…busy.”

“Benefit of being lord.” His words were muffled, but given that he was currently lavishing her throat with attention, she found she didn't care too much.

“Rin…” she breathed, trying to hold onto her last shred of sanity. “She's…”

Sesshoumaru chuckled. “I sent her on an errand.”

His fingers glided into the folds of her kimono and Kagome gave up on sanity. She shrugged her shoulders, helping the fabric slid down. His mouth followed the cloth and Kagome hissed as his lips found her nipple. Her fingers dug into his scalp, mussing his ever perfect hair. She barely acknowledged the brief question of how he'd gotten her bra off so fast. It wasn't important. All that mattered was that he kept doing that with his tongue.

Oh how she wanted to touch him.

“Sess -” She breathed, trying to pull at his kimono. “I need…”

His chuckle rumbled through her as he released her nipple with a pop and stood up. Together they pulled and tugged until he was as bare as she. Then Kagome felt his arm around her waist and she giggled as her feet lifted off the floor. She wrapped her legs around him as he slowly slid her down, groaning when his length brushed against her.

“Hold,” he said gruffly and she nodded, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. He released her waist and she mewled as he guided himself into her. Relaxing her grip slightly, she was rewarded by sliding further onto him. He jerked forward and Kagome's head fell onto his shoulder. His fingers found her nipple, twisting her flesh so exquisitely she saw stars. His thrusts came fast and hard and she did her best to hold on.

“Shou,” She groaned, her fingers digging into his flesh. He growled in approval, reaching up to tug her face to his. Their lips met; a tangle of forceful passion as they both fought for dominance. His speed was increasing, his arm holding her tight against him as he sped them towards their release. As her body coiled to the breaking point, Kagome broke their kiss and leaned her forehead against his. He grunted, his thrusts become more and more powerful as he ascended until with a final jerk he released into her.

She felt his body relax as he leaned further into her, trapping her against the wall. Her body longed for release too and she cursed his timing. But, she reminded herself, she was only here for his pleasure. He probably didn't care if…oh…

His fingers were sliding over her clit, rubbing exactly on point to rocket her back towards explosion. She gasped into his ear as the coil once again tightened, her entire body curling around him as her nerves ignited.

When she returned to her senses, he had relocated them to a chair. His fingers were slowing trailing a path down her arm and she moaned encouragingly. “That was…hmmmm…”

His chuckle rumbled through her. “Did you think I would leave you unfulfilled?”

She blushed, feeling silly. “You never fail to surprise me, that's all.” She picked up a lock of his hair, flicking the ends over her fingers.

He snorted. “In other words, yes.”

“I didn't say that! I just…”She could feel her pulse racing. This conversation was quickly turning in a direction she was NOT ready for. Quick! A diversion! “Hey! Where's my bra?!”

“What?” He was chuckling again and Kagome started to question his sanity.

“My bra! When you came in, you got to my boobs awful fast! Where's my bra?” Scanning the room, she spotted her kimono, but the bra was nowhere to be seen. But there was something, half hidden by his kimono. “Did you?” she slid off his lap, walking to the forgotten clothing. There it was, a scrap.

“Sesshoumaru!”

She turned to glare at him and he shrugged. “It was in my way.”

“Shou! That was my favorite bra!!!” She stomped the floor petulantly. “What am I supposed to wear back to my room?”

“Your room?”

“Alright, so it's your room! But you didn't answer my question!”

He stood up. “And you're stalling to avoid answering mine.”

She'd hoped he'd forgotten about that. Shaking her head, she prepared to retort, but he gave her a pointed look to remain quiet. He stalked towards her, stopping only when he was a few inches away from her. He stared at her for a moment, his expression unreadable as he watched her. She wondered what he was thinking. Probably that he wanted to fuck again. He reached for her and Kagome almost laughed, dropping her gaze to the floor, realizing she'd been right.

“You're not the entertainment Kagome.”

Her head snapped up. “What?”

He sighed and she suddenly got the feeling he was trying very hard to resist scolding her. “Kagome, I realized traveling with my brother might have skewed your judgment of me, but I am not heartless.”

She grinned like a Cheshire cat. “I'm starting to realize that, yeah…”

~~~

“Ok, now focus your energy. Try and funnel it through yourself.”

The arrow thudded into the target, its feeble pink glow fading away quickly.

“Good!” Kagome said, nodding approvingly. “You're really starting to get the hang of it.”

“You really think so?” Rin replied, walking forward to retrieve the arrow. “It's still not very strong.”

“But you could see the reiki this time! Trust me, you've come a long way!”

“I guess. You're still way better than me though.”

Kagome laughed, suddenly reminded of the first time she fired a bow. “Yeah, but that's only because I've had more practice. Trust me, you're learning a lot faster than I did. I just sort of had to figure things out as I went.”

“I seem to remember you managing just fine.”

Kagome spun around. Sesshoumaru was standing on the steps watching them. She smiled. “Hey, I didn't expect to see you till tonight.”

“I needed a break.”

“Kagome's helping me with my purification arrows,” Rin said brightly as Sesshoumaru walked up to Kagome for a kiss.

“I see that. How's it going?”

“Well,” Kagome said, shrugging slightly. “I mean I'm no replacement for Kaede, but she's doing good.”

Rin fired another shot at the tree and she sighed, stomping the ground, her bow dropping to the ground. “I'm still not getting it.”

“Sure you are,” Kagome said. “You can't expect to get it all down at once.”

“Yeah well, I'd get it a lot faster if you'd show me how.”

“Haha, yes,” Kagome scoffed, imagining the looks she'd get after that. “A fully fledged miko's arrow in a castle full of youkai.”

From his place behind her Sesshoumaru said, “The castle could use some livening up. Go ahead. Show her.”

Kagome spun around to look at him, her expression one of utter shock. “Seriously?” She said, clearly dubious, but Rin had already rushed off into the castle to retrieve Kagome's bow, squealing in delight as she went. When she returned a few minutes later, Kagome was still glaring at Sesshoumaru, but she took the bow. Turning back to the tree, she said quietly. “You might want to step back.”

She took her aim, reveling in the immediate rush of contentment that filled her as her reiki swelled and she was complete.

“You can't think,” she intoned calmly. “Only feel.”

Rin nodded, watching with obvious awe as Kagome inhaled and drew the bow. The next moment, the air crackled with energy, a bright pink light exploding all around them as the arrow sliced the air and embedded into the tree with a loud thud. Afterwards, the air still sparkled with pink light. Kagome lowered the bow, unable to contain her smile. It had been too long since she'd fired a bow.

“What?” She said as she turned back to Sesshoumaru, giggling at the almost nervous expression on his face.

“That was SO COOL!” Rin shouted, jumping up and down with glee.

“Very impressive,” Sesshoumaru agreed.

Kagome blushed. “Thanks.”

“Where did you get that bow?” Sesshoumaru inquired, reaching for the weapon to examine it.

“It's a recurve bow,” Kagome replied, handing it over without hesitation. “I bought it in the modern era. It allows for a more powerful shot without having to be too big.”

Sesshoumaru drew the bow, his expression almost curious as he tested the draw strength and durability. “How is it made?”

“Um… I'm not sure. I know that the ends are curved the opposite direction when it's unstrung as when it's strung. But I don't know how it's actually made.”

Sesshoumaru handed the bow back to her with a soft `hnnn.'

“Can I try?”

Kagome looked at Rin skeptically for a moment, and then caught Sesshoumaru's gaze before she said, “Just be careful.”
