InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Beauty Meets Beast ❯ Tired of Waiting ( Chapter 17 )

Beauty Meets Beast

 

Kagome's Long-Lost Sister: Well, to answer your first question; I didn't really come up with an exact reason for Kikyo's curse. But the gist is he screwed her over and she was simply seeking revenge, I don't really know. I'll let you go with it where you will. However, it would make sense to me that it might have happened when she was “courting” Inuyasha. Maybe she witnessed Inuyasha being attacked by an enemy he could not handle and Sesshoumaru simply lurked nearby instead of helping. She wanted to punish him for ignoring/tormenting Inuyasha. And as for your second question; the fact that Sesshoumaru showed up to help when Kagome goes missing and that fact that he is willing to fight for her life shows that he cares for her and even someone as dense as Inuyasha can see that. And sorry, I gave up cussing a while back so I try not to curse in my works…but I'm sure you can use your imagination to come up with her curses.

 

Chapter 17: Tired of Waiting

 

The morning sun hit Kagome's face like a bomb and she growled, throwing the covers over her face. “Can't you just go back and pretend it's still night for a while longer?” After a moment she peeked out, frowning when she discovered that the sun hadn't taken her suggestion. Sitting up reluctantly, her mind thought back to the night before, after the battle.

 

She'd been surprised when he laid them down in his bed and curled around her, saying that he wanted to wait until she was fully healed so that he wouldn't risk hurting her further. But the way he'd had cradled her to him left little doubt in her mind as to his feelings. In fact, he hadn't left go of her from the moment the battle ended.

 

She stretched leisurely, wincing as the wounds on her chest pulled at her skin. “Stupid wolves,”

 

“Stupid woman,”

 

Kagome gasped, she hadn't heard him come in. “Good morning to you too.”

 

“I trust you slept well,” he said as if he hadn't been sleeping right beside her.

 

“Most agreeable,” she giggled, “although I could really go for a bath right about now.”

 

“I think I could go for one myself.” She squeaked when she suddenly found herself in his arms as he walked to the adjoining bathroom.

 

Half an hour later, Kagome scrunched her face up looked at her hands, which were beginning to resemble prunes. “I'm getting wrinkly.” The taiyoukai behind her chuckled and she frowned. “What I am!”

 

She was currently sitting between his legs, playing with his hair as she rested against him. Closing her eyes, she tilted her head back to rest on his shoulder, simply enjoying his company. Although she had to admit, she'd been thoroughly embarrassed when he'd set her down and stripped their clothing. But so far he'd been a complete gentleman.

 

She tried to ignore her stomach, which was beginning to voice its emptiness with increasing vigor, but soon its grumblings alerted the taiyoukai behind her to its predicament. He once again chuckled and she blushed. “Sorry, I haven't had anything to eat since early yesterday morning.

 

He frowned when he realized she was right. When they'd returned the night before, he taken her to his room almost immediately—instructing Kaliegha to show her companions where they could sleep. When they'd reached his room, he'd instantly pulled her into his arms, burying his face in her neck. He'd held her for a moment before remembering her wounds had been reopened. He quickly cleaned them, using his saliva to speed the healing process, before changing her into her pajamas. He'd fallen asleep shortly afterwards, listening to her even breaths as she cuddled beside him.

 

Slowly lifting her from the tub, Sesshoumaru took his time drying them off. He dressed her in a simple kimono with gold lining and etching before leading her down to the dining hall.

 

00000000

Kagome smiled as she waved goodbye to her friends. They'd agreed—with Sesshoumaru's consent of course—to visit as much as they could during their search for the remaining shards. She sighed as she turned to re-enter the fortress, tonight was the night. Her wounds were finally healed and she planned to take full advantage of that. Since the battle two weeks ago, she'd been spending more and more time with the youkai lord and it was becoming increasingly difficult to look at him without melting into a pile of goo. But tonight that would change. She was tired of waiting. He'd been hinting at his desire for days and now she was finally going to get to taste him.

 

Grinning with excitement, she walked to his study knowing he would most likely be buried under a mound of paperwork. Opening the door slowly, she peeked her head in. Sure enough, he was sitting behind his desk, examining one of the several treaties and proposals that covered his desk. She waited until he looked up over at her before slowing curling her finger in a “come hither” motion. She saw his eyes widen slightly as he rose from the desk and began walking towards her. Keeping an alluring look on her face, she led him to his…now their…room.

 

When they reached his room, she slowly reached for the tie to her kimono, taking her time stripping. He had yet to move, however his gaze followed her wherever she went. “Are you sure you're fully healed?”

 

“Even if I weren't…I can't wait any longer.” When he continued to merely stand, looking spellbound, she walked to him and began stripping his clothes for him. “Tonight I want you, Sesshoumaru, between my legs.”

 

He growled approvingly and captured her lips, quickly ridding himself of the last of his clothing. His arms came up to embrace, trailing his fingers over her skin. “Your wish is mine to grant,” he said, picking her up and waking to the bed. Giggling, Kagome turned her attention to his neck, nibbling just above his shoulder. He growled again, laying her down before reclaiming her lips.

 

A soft moan escaped her and she reached up to cup his face with her hand. Her other hand was not idle; it trailed down his body, her nimble fingers mapping his chest. He groaned when her small hand gently touched him. Kagome, think she'd hurt him, jerked her hand away.

 

“I'm sorry!”

 

He chuckled, enjoying her innocence. Gently, he pulled her hand back to him. “Do you feel what you have done to this Sesshoumaru?”

 

He released her hand, burying his face in her neck, nuzzling her skin and nipping at it softly. She ran her fingers all over him, her curiosity getting the better of her. It was like velvet wrapped in steel. He groaned once again and she grew bolder, wrapping her hand around him and stroking him lightly.

 

His mouth trailed down to her breast and it was her turn to moan. He nuzzled her chest, paying special attention to the faint lines that still marred her once unblemished skin, before trailing his mouth to her nipple. He nipped at it lightly before soothing it with his tongue. Her hands abandoned his length, coming up to hold him to her.

 

He trailed his hand down to her core, smirking against her skin when she moaned his name. His fingers found her clit, running circles around it. His lips trailed up to her ear, suckling gently on the lobe before moving back down to her collarbone. She blushed when he leaned back to admire her but he merely smiled.

 

He slid down her body, trailing kisses as he went. He kept his eyes locked with hers as he lightly licked her core, relishing her sharp intake of air. She heard him murmur a quiet “Delicious,” before leaning in to lap at her like a dying man to the fountain of youth. He kept his eyes on her the entire time, watching as she convulsed in ecstasy.

 

Her hands tangled in his silken locks and she moaned a broken version of his name as he continued his sweet torture on her body. She had no idea she could feel like this. His lips closed around her clit and Kagome found herself soaring higher and higher. Suddenly, it was as if her entire being had been lit from within. Her desire scorched her as she writhed in the throes of her climax.

 

She panted as she slowly came down from her high, her sated body relaxing into the bed. She watched through half-lidded eyes as Sesshoumaru slowly licked his lips clean and climbed back up her body. Feeling his claws trace the soft skin by her ear, she sighed and opened her eyes.

 

“This Sesshoumaru is not finished with you,” he said softly, leaning down to kiss her once again. He deepened the kiss, hoping to distract her descended into her body. Her body tensed immediately and he stilled his movements, wrapping his arms around her and burying his head in her neck. He remained motionless for what seemed like ages, willing to wait as long as she needed…an idea that still confused him. He never once before cared what someone else felt, but for her…he would do anything. `Is this love?'

 

Tears filled her eyes, and even though he kissed them away, all Kagome could think of was the pain. It was like being ripped in two! She found herself doubting if this was even worth it. But after a while, the pain lessened, leaving the oddest feeling. She shifted experimentally against him, smiling when he groaned. It felt good to have such power over him. But when he pulled back and thrusted into her, it was clear the power was his. Her world narrowed to him; his skin, his hair, his…they filled her consciousness. Her body soared even higher than it had before, something she wouldn't have thought possible before this moment, and she once again felt the tightening in her core as she approached bliss.

 

Sesshoumaru was also closely reaching his limit. He grunted and began thrusting with fervor. Wanting her to reach her climax with him, he reached down between their joined bodies to her clit, rubbing in time to his thrusts. She threw her arms around him, holding him tightly to her as she reached her peak. He followed a moment after, sinking his fangs into her soft skin to seal the deal.
