Allies with Benefits

Chapter Fifteen: A Decision Made

Kagome wasn't sure what she expected when she returned to the Feudal Era four days later, but it certainly wasn't to be pulled unceremoniously from the well and crushed against an unforgiving chest. She noted thankfully as they flew to who knows where that her kidnapper was Sesshoumaru, but she had no idea what he was up to. When he finally set them down in a clearing a good distance from the village, she was somewhat surprised when he didn't immediately release her. Instead, he buried his nose in her hair, inhaling deeply.

“You are not to leave like that again,” he rumbled against her neck, his arm hugging her tight to him as he nuzzled against her.

“I'm sorry I worried you,” she said, blinking back tears as she realized he clearly missed her just as much as she missed him. There could be no doubt now. Her hands came up to cradle his head against her and she allowed herself to melt into his warmth, taking comfort in his strength. “I…I made a decision while I was home,” she whispered, refusing to raise her face from his neck.

“Oh?” He tensed, so slightly she wouldn't have noticed had she not been pressed so tightly to him, and for a moment, she hesitated. Would he like what she had to say?

Burying herself further against him, she mumbled, “I, um, I said goodbye to my family.”

She could feel her anxiety swelling as she waited for him to react. He pulled back slightly and she chanced a look at his face. His eyebrows were drawn down in confusion, but there was also a glimmer of, if she wasn't mistaken, hope. He also appeared quite speechless. Gathering her courage, she lifted onto her tiptoes and whispered into his ear. “I love you Sesshoumaru.”

His reaction was immediate. Before she could even lower herself back to the ground, a loud growl filled their tiny forest glade and his lips crashed to hers.

“I take it you're happy?” she gasped, finding herself backed into the nearest tree, his lips laving attention to her shoulder. Her answer was another growl and she giggled. “Well, now what?”

He pulled back, staring at her incredulously before leaning in so his erection brushed against her belly. “I would think that would be fairly obvious.”

“Well yes,” she giggled again, tracing a lazy path down his chest with her fingers, loving the way his face contorted at her touch. “I meant, how are we going to explain this to everyone? We can't just disappear. I don't want my friends to worry about me.”

He must have heard her unspoken question because he suddenly sighed, pulling back slightly to look at her. “Does he really scare you that much?”

She shook her head, trying to sound nonchalant. “I just want to be prepared. He's not necessarily known for his control.” Her gaze dropped to the ground, her brain a torrent of excitement and anxiety. “He's never going to forgive me,” she mumbled.

His fingers grasped her chin, raising her eyes back to his. “I will not let him hurt you.”

“I know,” she whimpered, nodding slightly. “It's just hard to accept. But I've tried to get him to change, it doesn't work.”

“You are not to blame for my idiot brother's stupidity,” he said, his eyes hardening slightly. “That fault lies with me.”

She opened her mouth to contradict him, but the look on his face made her stop, a giggle rising unbidden from her lips. “Sorry, I'm ruining the mood, aren't I?”

He snorted. “Yes, but you are right. This must end now. Once I get you to the fortress, you won't be able to stand for a week.”

She shivered, anticipation surging through her as his lips claimed hers once again.

As they walked towards the village, Kagome took comfort in Sesshoumaru's hand clasped firmly around hers. She was still worried, but with his comforting aura swirling around her, she was able to walk confidently. It was time to take her happiness.

Miroku met them first. He smiled, waving them over to Kaede's hut.

“Well, it's about damn time,” he said, motioning to their joined hands.

Kagome blushed, not sure how to react to that. Sango and Kaede emerged from the hut, both giving the couple approving looks and Kagome felt her entire body might erupt with embarrassment.

“Have you told him yet?” Sango said softly.

“That's where we're going now,” Kagome replied, looking up at Sesshoumaru for support.

“Do you need backup?”

Sesshoumaru growled and Miroku held up his hands. “I meant no disrespect. Just figured I'd help with damage control. We all know Inuyasha isn't the brightest.”

“What was that monk?!”

Kagome hissed as her blood ran cold. She hadn't heard him approach. Clutching Sesshoumaru's hand closer to her chest, she said a silent prayer to the gods and turned to face her friend. “Hey Inuyasha.”

He stood a few feet away, arms crossed stubbornly across his chest. “Feh, about time you came back wench.”

Sesshoumaru bared his teeth and she could feel the growl simmering inside him as she held him back. Unfortunately, Inuyasha noticed. His eyes trailed to their joined hands and he growled.

“The fuck is going on? Kagome? What the hell are you doing holding his hand?!”

The hatred in his voice made Kagome wish the Earth would swallow her whole. She had known he would never forgive her, but seeing the disgust on his face was more than she could take. She whimpered, blinking back tears as she watched his trust in her evaporate.

“Watch your tone, half breed.” Sesshoumaru growled, pushing Kagome behind him.

“The fuck I will! Get away from her!”

He lunged, but Sesshoumaru was faster. In the blink of an eye, both he and Kagome were high above the village, floating on his youki cloud. “Inuyasha,” he said, his voice colder than Kagome could remember ever hearing. “You will listen if you ever want to see her again.” Not waiting for a response, he turned his gaze to the woman in his arms. His hand touched her cheek reverently and she smiled up at him. “Kagome is mine,” he growled, ignoring Inuyasha's shouts and protests as he leaned down and captured her lips.

Offhandedly, Kagome thought she heard Miroku trying to placate the hanyou, but she didn't care anymore. It was finally over. “Take me home,” she whispered, ready to show him exactly how happy she was that they didn't have to hide anymore.

At once, they were in his orb, flying away from the village. They touched down in his private garden a few moments later and Kagome immediately fell against him, her head spinning. “Ok, please don't ever do that again.”

“Apologies,” he said, reaching out to steady her as she wobbled on her feet. “I've never transported anyone else that way.”

“Yeah, probably not the best transportation method for humans. G forces are definitely a thing.”

He chuckled. “What?”

“Sorry, post feudal reference. G forces are basically the amount of air pressure a person feels in a given situation. When you travel like that, the pressure gets condensed and intensifies. It feels like Au-Un is sitting on my chest and makes it really hard to breathe.”

“I see.”

His eyesbrows were drawn down into what was unmistakably a pout. She tried not to smile at his obvious confusion, but then realized he was probably feeling guilty for orbing them here since it had made her uncomfortable. Reaching out, she cupped his cheek, raising his eyes to hers.

“Hey, it's ok. Now we know.” He nuzzled into her hand and she hissed as he turned and kissed her palm. “Besides,” she said, backing towards the bedroom, letting her fingers slip from his face as she held her hand out to him. “I'm sure you can find a way to make it up to me.”

He growled and advanced on her, guilt evaporating as lust consumed his face. “Actually, if memory serves, it is you that needs to make it up to me.”

She grinned, still slowly backing into his room. “How do you figure?”

“You left. For days.”

He was definitely pouting now. She smiled, reaching forward to grasp his obi. “Awww, don't tell me the great and might Lord of the West missed a human.” His growl vibrated through her and she giggled again, pulling him forward by the sash. He stopped a hairs breadth from her and Kagome slipped a finger casually into his hakama to distract him as she deftly loosened his obi. It was times like this that made her appreciate how skilled they'd gotten as quickly and quietly disrobing each other.

“I suppose that's true,” she purred, pulling the untied obi from him in a flourish. Never taking her eyes from his, she sunk to her knees, pulling his hakama with her, pleased that he had nothing underneath.

She loved the way her name hissed from his lips as she kissed his tip. His fingers tangled in her hair and she smiled, drawing him into her mouth. Remembering how good his growls had felt against her flesh, she decided to try and hum to give him the same reaction. However, a moment later she stopped, realizing how silly it was to think the tiny vibrations of her voice would make any difference to him. Reaching up to fondle his balls, she silently hoped he hadn't noticed her failed attempt.

But then he was pulling her up, his lips finding hers as he backed them towards the bedding. A few twists and tugs later, they were both completely naked. They melted to the floor, his lips never leaving hers.

“Mine,” he whispered when he finally let her breathe.

“Yours,” she agreed breathily, pulling him back for another kiss. She didn't think she'd ever get enough of his kisses. It had been the one thing she'd missed the most the past week. As much as she loved the sex, Sesshoumaru's kisses drove her to heights she'd never imagined. Not to mention, until she'd come to the fortress originally, they hadn't really had time to kiss. So, in her opinion, that meant they had months to make up for.

Those divine lips trailed to her shoulder and Kagome mewled as he suckled and licked to his heart's content. Not to be outdone, she reached her hands out to grasp his ears, smirking at his groan. HA! Two can play it! She thought, licking the hollow of his neck. His hips flexed unconsciously against her leg and she eagerly shifted to give him access.

His fingers traced a delicious path down her body, teasing her in all the right places. When he finally slipped a clawed digit inside her, they both moaned at her wetness.

“So ready for me, my little miko,” he breathed against her throat, his tongue snaking out to lave the shell of her ear.

“Always…always ready,” she whimpered, unable to think straight as his fingers left her and something much larger began pushing into her. “Yeeees, Shou! Oh gods, yes!!!!”

“Mine,” he growled, his pace at once fast and frenzied. “My bitch. My mate.”

She gasped, her eyes flying open to meet his crimson ones. Smiling a hello to the beast he'd obviously released, she placed her hands on either side of his face and pulled him down for another kiss. His fangs nicked her lips and she hissed, it felt soooo good! She wished the moment would last forever, but they were both too far gone. Already she could feel his body tensing, his release fast approaching. They wouldn't last long.

His fingers touched her clit and Kagome screamed as her mind shut down and she rode out wave after wave of sinful bliss. His body suddenly stilled and she cried out. Surely he wouldn't stop now. But then her eyes met his, and she gasped at the love glimmering there.

“For now,” he gasped, his body shaking with the effort to remain in control, “and for all eternity, I take you as my mate.” He pulled out all the way, leaving just the tip within her. “I willingly share my lifeline. We are one. Now and forever more.”

Kagome felt tears prick at her eyes. It was too perfect. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled him to her once again, whispering in his ear. “I love you.”

He snarled; turning to roughly kiss her as he slammed back into her with such force, she was sure he hit her womb. He thrust with abandon and it was all she could do to hold on. Her screams shook the very walls as he drove them higher and higher.

“Take it,” he growled, spearing her body onto his cock. “Take all of it.” He sealed their lips together and she gasped as she tasted his blood. But then he was spilling into her, his release triggering her body once more into the blue.

He shuddered around her, sweat streaming down both their bodies, and collapsed beside her, pulling her trembling form to his. His fingers caressed her face tenderly and he pressed soft lips to the edge of her chin where it rose to meet her cheek.

She tried to turn to hiss him fully, but her consciousness was quickly slipping away as sleep claimed her. Cuddling as close as she could, she felt his contented purr as he wrapped his arm around her and whispered in her ear, “I love you too, mate.”
