Chapter 6- In comes the East

Previously…

"Quiet, Kagome. This Sesshoumaru will not let you go, you will remain by my side, forever" came his soft promise. Kagome gave him a weak smile and nodded. "Rest, you've lost a lot of blood" Sesshoumaru hovered over her and kissed her gently on her lips.

"Sleep, my Kagome" Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and rested against the carriage's wall waiting his companions return.

Present…

“Jyunchi, why do we have to help Sesshoumaru? I mean the guy's a prick!” Kouga complained non stop while following the scent of the human girl called Sango.

“You know, you really should back off Kouga. Sesshoumaru already laid his claim on Kagome.

And besides, we live and feed off the West, it's the least we can do to offer our loyalty to him and his father” Miroku has been working with the great Inu Taishou for several centuries now. It's true he should've died long ago, in fact he should've died when he was severely wounded in the battlefield of Spirituals vs. Demons. However the General spared his life and offered him to serve under the West as a healer. Well the rest, he should save to tell his children.

They followed the feminine scent to a gentle stream not far from the campsite. Jyunchi stopped and sniffed the air.

“Hey you guys smell that?” Kouga and Miroku glanced dumbfounded at each other.

“No I'm human Jyun, I can't smell what youkai can. But…” Miroku trailed off. He felt a presence. No, there was two. One stronger than the other. It was dead silent, the air was heavy, laced with tension and not a sound was heard.

“KEHAII!!” A loud screech penetrated the air. The three sped towards the north side of the stream, near the base of the mountain. In several minutes the men arrived in the clearing.

“What in the name of Kami?” Miroku stared at the younger girl in front of them gripping a horn that punctured through the lower snake demon's chest. Her heavy breathing gave off sounded quietly in the once more silent forest.

“What do you demons want? Leave now if you don't want to suffer the same fate as he” she looked over Jyunchi, Kouga and Miroku. `They seem to be higher classed de- no, they're Youkai. Oh Kami, Kagome where are you?'

Miroku smirked at the blood covered girl. “So, fair lady why are you alone at this hour. Are you a demon slayer perhaps?”

“No I'm not Youkai. I'm searching for my friend, Kagome. I need to find her. I really need to find her…” Sango trailed off losing herself in her thoughts. She snapped out of her thoughts when Miroku approached her. “Stay back Youkai!”

“No, my dear. I can't stay away from you at all” Miroku continued to advance on Sango, he closed in the distance and with lightning speed grasp her wrists and held her tight in his chest.

“You-you Pervert! Let go of me!” Sango struggled to break from from his touch. “No, I can't do that my dear.” Miroku bent down slowly and was on the verge of kissing her when a soft voice interrupted him.

“Get off me! You pe-hm!” Sango's sentence got cut when Miroku covered her mouth with his hand. “Shh, something is lurking in the shadows.” Sango quickly silenced and the winds picked up and quickly died down.

“What was that?”

“Neko-youkai. I picked up their scent, it's so weird, the moment it came the scent disappeared” Jyunchi scratched the back of his head. Jyunchi turn towards Sango, “Our Prince has your friend. She is safe in the carriage with him, she requested us to find you, and her family.” Kouga growled at the thought of Kagome in Sesshoumaru's arms. `I will get her.'

Sango looked down, “I have a lot of explaining to do.” Sango searched Jyunchi's eyes for deceit, satisfied she agreed “Take me to her, please.” The men nodded and headed towards the carriage. `Kagome, I hope you do forgive me for this…'

Kagome whimpered as the searing pain from the gashes she received from the whip coursed through her body. “Hmm..” She opened her eyes to see molten gold eyes staring right at her.

“How are you feeling?” His voice was distant, almost if he didn't belong to this world.

“Pain” that was the only word she could muster before she cringed from another wave of pain. Kagome gasped as Sesshoumaru parted his kimono to check the wounds. “It hasn't been long, the wounds are already infect” Sesshoumaru concluded “the whip was poisoned.” Kagome's eyes widen and she fear she would die in several hours. `I can't die yet, I don't know if Papa and Souta is safe or not. Oh Kami give me strength.'

Sesshoumaru growled as he detected a hint of salt in the air. “Kagome you will not cry” he furrowed his eyebrows and gathered her in his arms and left the carriage.

“Sesshoumaru-sama?” Sesshoumaru kept quiet as he kept a steady pace to the hotsprings he saw a while back when they were travelling in the carriage. He heard Kagome whimper again `She will not make it in time' Sesshoumaru growled and ran to his destination with his demonic speed. After a few minutes they arrived at the hotsprings and Kagome continue to slip into the darkness.

He lowered her on the warm boulders in the hotspring and removed his hamaka and stepped into the hotsprings. He glided over to Kagome and removed his kimono from her body and lowered them both into the warm water. Kagome hissed at the contact of the water against her aching chest.

“Kagome” Sesshoumaru needed to clean her wound, the outer layer of her skin around the wounds were turning into a dark purple tint. “Kagome” he said in a harsher tone and shook her.

“Sessh-hm” Sesshoumaru kissed her softly on her lips. “Kagome, This Sesshoumaru need to clean your wounds.” Kagome nodded and felt Sesshoumaru lift her and placed her between something hard and warm. “Kagome, it will hurt for a short while, stay with me” Kagome nodded and relaxed as the warm boulder soothed her aching muscles. Sesshoumaru lifted her up slightly and he hovered over her torso.

Sesshoumaru growled as he picked up the thieves scent mixed with hers. `Mine' his tongue darted out and roughly licked her wound out of fustration. “Eahh!” Kagome felt the pain pulse through her entire body. “Still,” he commanded. She whimpered as he continue to lick her wounds. Kagome was quiet after several licks as the pain merged into her body as one and dulled the shocks.

Sesshoumaru looked down once more on the wounds, they appear to be light scratches and grunted in satisfaction.

“Kagome” Sesshoumaru eased Kagome down onto his lap as he sat on the shallow end of the hotsprings. “Sesshoumaru-sama, thank you. Thank you so much” Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and sobbed quietly.

“If you didn't come, I… I could've been. Oh!” she wept quietly in his arms. Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and burrowed his nose into her hair and inhaled deeply. `I wouldn't know what I would've done too, if he were to take you.' Sesshoumaru tightened his embrace and let Kagome cry in his arms. “Kagome…”

“Thank you, for everything” Kagome gave him a watery smile. Sesshoumaru nodded and they both sat quietly in the hotsprings, both wondering why they are so attracted to each other, even if they just met last night.

“Sesshoumaru-sama?” Kagome blushed when she noticed they were both in the nude under the waters of the hotspring. “Hn?” Sesshoumaru cracked open an eye and squinted at her.

“We are… uh… indecent? I shouldn't be… er… on you” Kagome fidgeted with her fingers and looked down to the water. Sesshoumaru chuckled, “Kagome you should not be bashful now.”

Sesshoumaru shifted gently and Kagome was now straddling on his lap facing him, “After all, we've done and seen much more last night” he teased and closed their distance and kissed her tenderly. Kagome sighed into his mouth as she felt as if she was in heaven. `One little kiss, that's all it takes to satisfy her. Divine indeed,' Sesshoumaru smirked into their kiss.

Kagome let out a shy moan as he kneaded her breast softly. She shifted seductively, although unconsciously on his lap as she felt his member enlarge. “Kagome, unless you wish to be taken now you will cease this action,” he groaned out. `She is still weak from earlier tonight,' Sesshoumaru stared into her Sapphire depths `but this Sesshoumaru can not get enough.'

He captured her lips in a searing kiss and caressed her thighs and inner thighs. He felt the inevitable cramp in his pelvis as his need for Kagome's touch increased. “Pleasure me,” he whispered seductively into her ear and grabbed her had and guided it to his throbbing appendage. Kagome gasped in shock at the contact but followed his orders and began stroking him painfully slow. Sesshoumaru growled in pleasure from her administrations “I shall to you as well,” he smirked as he heard her gasp of pleasure as he slipped his index and middle finger into her folds.

“Seshoumaru… please…” Sesshoumaru lifted Kagome to hover over his throbbing appendage. “Are you ready for this Sesshoumaru?” Kagome nodded. She threw her head back in pure ecstasy as Sesshoumaru entered her. He griped her hips tighter as she slide down his manhood. “Kagome…” his hand left her hip and tangled itself into her hair at the back of her head. `What is it that you've done to me, Kagome?'

“Move…” he clenched his teeth together trying to control the overwhelming urge to pound her into oblivion. “Move?” Sesshoumaru smirked, “Yes Kagome, move. Like this” he gripped her hips once more and guided her up his shaft and pushed her down against it again. “Move, on your own accord.” Kagome nodded and placed her hands around his broad shoulders and continued what Sesshoumaru began.

“… more… Kagome” Sesshoumaru groaned as her walls tightened almost painfully around his shaft. He was so close to his release but he held back. “Ses-ah!” Sesshoumaru arched his hips up and slammed into Kagome's core. He gripped her hips once more and arched up again and again to meet Kagome's pace. Kagome squinted her eyes close and mouthed a scream as the rope at the pit of her stomach uncoil as she met her release. “Ka-go-me!” Sesshoumaru gritted between his clenched jaws as he gave a final thrust and poured his seeds into her. Kagome leaned into his embrace as Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around her, “What have you done to this Sesshoumaru.” Kagome giggled and shrugged slightly.

“I have not done anything to you Sesshoumaru-sama” Sesshoumaru raised an elegant brow and touched his nose with hers.

“Is that so?” Kagome stared deer-eyed at Sesshoumaru and nodded. Sesshoumaru let a smile grace his lips and kissed her nose lovingly. `You make us feel… complete, my angel.'

“Yo! Sesshoumaru's not here” Jyunchi looked over to the carriage and sniffed the air. “They've been gone for several hours already I think they left for the…” Jyunchi trailed off as Sesshoumaru sped into the clearing with Kagome in his arms. “… palace.”

“Kagome!” Sango rushed to her as Sesshoumaru let her go on her feet. “Sango-chan! Are you okay?” Kagome searched her body for any injuries.

“No, none. Kagome I have something to tell you. It's really important, please listen to me” Sango pleaded. She was just about to start when Sesshoumaru demanded them to go in the carriage, mentioning Kagome needed some rest. Kagome rested against the carriage wall and glanced uncomfortably across the carriage to Sango.

“Kagome, your father and brother… They. Oh Kami, Kagome I'm so sorry” Sango put her head in her laps and wept uncontrollably. “I couldn't save them Kagome. I-I failed you, please Kagome don't hate me, please.”

Kagome's heart dropped as she listened to Sango's words, “Save? Sango-chan, what do you mean?”

“Kagome, when you left to gather wood, Your father and I was talking, something about a legend and a betrayal, and then these giant cats came in and ate them! The-they just swallowed them whole! Kami, I'm so sorry Kagome. Then these thieves came in and started to destroy the camp. The cats took off and I followed them up near the base of the mountain. And… they summoned this giant snake that had horn as a tail. I managed to tear off the tail and pierce it through its heart,” Sango sighed. It was unforgivable, “that's when, these youkai came in and told me that you are safe with the Prince… Kagome, I'm really sorry. I never wanted to hurt you. P-please forgive me,” Sango started to cry again.

“Oh Sango-chan,” Kagome went down on her knees in one swift move and grabbed Sango's hands. “You are not at fault, please don't blame yourself Sango-chan,” the men in the carriage looked on silently but curiously at the display before them.

“My fair maidens, it's nearly impossible for a youkai no matter what blood they have to swallow a grown man in one piece,” Miroku rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “To my knowledge, those cat demons most likely placed them in their mouths to transport them without trouble.”

“You see Sango-chan, it will be fine. Please don't cry” Kagome tried to conceal her own desperation and sadness as her own tears fell down her cheeks. Kagome reached over to Sango and gathered her into her arms for a loving embrace. “Sango-chan, I forgive you, please do not…” Kagome choked and they both cried silently in each other's arms.

`She's so beautiful, and forgiving. Hell if I slept with her I'd be happy as hell… She is a courtesan after all, maybe Fluffy won't mind,' Jyunchi smiled and stared longingly at Kagome. Sesshoumaru caught the look on his old friends face and growled, he had an uneasy feeling about this.

`Mine'

The carriage wheels droned softly below their feet as they sat patiently waiting to arrive to the Western Palace. Kagome fell asleep by Sesshoumaru's side with his arm draped over her shoulders. Sesshoumaru looked lazily outside the carriage window. `What will Father think of Kagome? What of the engagement?' Sesshoumaru looked at the girl in his arms. `We would never give her up, never.'

The carriage came to a halt as they waited for the front gates to open.

“Our Highness Sesshoumaru-sama has returned, open the gates immediately” Kouga shouted to the gate keepers. He nodded in acknowledgement as he flicked the reigns of the horses to advance. “Sesshoumaru, we are home.”

Sesshoumaru nodded and glanced back at Kagome. “Miroku, Jyunchi leave first,” he commanded and without another word Jyunchi left the carriage followed by Miroku leading Sango. Sesshoumaru tightened his grip on Kagome. He over and whispered “Kagome, we have arrived.” Kagome opened her eyes lazily and smiled softly at Sesshoumaru.

“Oh!” Kagome gasped in shock as Sesshoumaru tugged her roughly in a hug. Sesshoumaru buried his nose in her hair and inhaled her scent deeply, memorizing her scent as if she will disappear one day. Kagome giggled “Sesshoumaru-sama, we must not keep your companions waiting.”

Sesshoumaru stepped out of the carriage and offered a hand to Kagome to help her down the steps. They walked in comfortable silence to the main entrance of the palace.

`It's really quiet, too quiet almost' he thought. He felt his father's presence grow and detected three other unusual yet familiar scents.

“Sesshoumaru, my son. Where have you been?” Kagome stared in astonishment as the man, no youkai before her greeted his son. `He looks regal, if not of holy descent' Kagome gasped.

“Oh? Who might this be? She looks beautiful Sesshou…” Inu Taishou narrowed his eyes at Kagome and growled. “Son, you shouldn't have bed another female so close to the treaty.”

Kagome shrunk behind Sesshoumaru out of fear when a screech penetrated the air.

“Sesshie-kun! I have missed you so” a beautiful demonness with crimson hair and extremely feminine body ran out from behind Inu Taishou and jumped into Sesshoumaru's arms. Kagome's eyes widen in jealous and she saw another touching Sesshoumaru.

“Get off me, neko” Sesshoumaru stood still and spoke coldy towards her.

“No! Why should I Sesshie? I'm you're betrothed!” she glanced behind Sesshoumaru and an evil smirk donned her seemingly beautiful face. “I see you've brought home a whore. You be-”

She was cut short in shock when Sesshoumaru backhand her across her face.

“You will not speak to this Sesshoumaru in such a manner, you will surely not speak of her in such a demeaning manner.” Sesshoumaru grounded out with a harsh growl. Sesshoumaru turned around to face Kagome in time to catch her before falling unconsciously to the ground.

Kagome's mind blacked out from the shock of the information she just heard. Her mind was spinning madly out of place as the demoness' words played over and over again in her head.

`you're betrothed… a whore… you're a whore…'

MS- *evil laughter* If you were paying attention the first chapter, this shouldn't be much of a shock to you :D

I was debating whether or not to put a Sesshie/Kag lemon in this chapter.. but hey I did it anyway.

*evil crackle, if you think this is cruel to Kagome, see what I have in store for her…

I know I know, why am I doing this to Kagome. I don't want to, well I do and that's how the story goes.

Let me know what you guys think :D

Oh I need you guys to give me some suggestions:

+ Should I put inuyasha in the story? Honestly I don't think he'll fit in, but I can find a role for him if you guys would like to read about my version of inuyasha.

+ Would you like the plot to advance faster, skipping some details (which I don't think we should), or remain the same? Because if you want the plot to advance faster, the story will be about 15 chapters. If at normal pace like now, it'll be up to 30 chapters. Shorter story means less Sesshy and Kagome fluff…

Heh anyway, let me know!
