InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bloodlust ❯ Sound to Touch (lemon) ( Chapter 5 )

Kagome kissed him gently, then pulled away. He looked down at her in confusion, and she wriggled free of his arms, looking down at her body. Sesshomaru gestured at the wardrobe against the wall.

"There is a mirror in there, if you'd like to see your new self, my Kagome."

She nodded and blushed, looking down at her clawed hands. He leapt lightly from the futon, and pulled the wardrobe door open, resting his hands on her hips. She stared into the mirror, half in shock. Her face was still basically the same, but her eyes were silver, ringed in violet, and where Sesshomaru had purple stripes, so did she. She turned to him, startled.

"Sesshomaru…why do I have your markings?"

She brushed silver bangs out of the way, and saw the crescent moon there as well, and delicate purple stripes across her wrists. He ran his fingers across her stomach, and nipped gently on the edge of her delicately pointed ear.

"I claimed you, Kagome, marked you as mine. It gave you my markings when you changed."

He pressed his lips to the mark on her neck, and she leaned back against his chest, his haori slipping down off her shoulders.

"Whether or not you accept my claim…that is up to you, Kagome."

She saw sadness in his golden eyes, almost fear, but no regret, and she smiled.

"Tell me why, Sesshomaru. I know you made love to me to break the spell, I figured that part out…but that did not require you to mark me as your mate. I need to know why."

His brow furrowed, and he turned her around so she was facing him.

"Kagome…in four days you tore down ever barrier I had erected around myself. You refused to fear me, refused to run away, forced me to accept you, to bargain for what I wanted instead of taking it…and then you became a Goddess in disguise. You are doing what Rin did, but deeper, you are making me care. Let me keep you, Kagome?"

The last few words came out as a whisper, and she wrapped her arms around him, breathing the rough pine that was his scent.

"Yes, you may keep me, Sesshomaru. You are making me forget the hurting in the memories….you are making me care, too."

She knew she was loving him, but she could not say it, could not betray her heart to him so easily, despite the differences between him and his brother. But he swept her up into his arms and kissed her hard, sweeping his tongue across her fangs. She moaned against his lips, and he chuckled softly, and brushed her bangs out of her eyes.

"Get dressed my Kagome. You have your youkai senses, and your youkai strength now…but you don't know how to use them. You need training…and we'd best start as soon as possible."

She nodded, and squeezed his hands gently.

"I have the best teacher. But….what about InuYasha? This all started because you wanted to find him…and I am afraid if we wait too long he will move from the well."

Sesshomaru's eyes were suddenly tinged with red, and his hands clenched tight.

"I wanted tetsusaiga….even with Toukijin, I do not like my father's sword in the hands of that bastard. Now…now I want to kill him just to revenge the hurt he has done you."

She stroked her hands against his arm.

"There will be a day of reckoning for InuYasha, Sesshomaru. But don't think of him now…I am sorry I mentioned him. You said something about training?"

He unclenched his fists and reached for her, holding her fiercely against him.

"I will teach you Kagome, so that no one will ever be able to hurt you again. I will protect you with my life."

She stood quietly in his arms, truly happy for the first time she had left InuYasha. He left her a few minutes later to dress, and she found a set of miko robes in the wardrobe among the kimono. She was afraid to look in the mirror once she had them on, afraid that she would see the reflection that had always looked so much like Kikyou when she wore the priestess garments, but the silver-haired demoness who stared back at her from violet rimmed eyes looked almost nothing like the human girl she once had been.

Her hair still floated loose around her knees, silver and shining, a match for Sesshomaru's, and she traced her claws over the mark on her neck happily. She tied it hair out of her way, but when she turned to leave realized she had no idea where Sesshomaru had gone. She walked down the tapestried hallway, and caught a glimpse of Rin at the end of it. She called out to the girl, who turned and ran to her. Kagome opened her mouth to explain her strange new appearance, but Rin beat her to it.

"Hello lady! Lord Sesshomaru said that Lady Kagome would look different because he took away a mean spell. Is this how Lady Kagome really looks? Lady Kagome looks like Lord Sesshomaru!"

Kagome giggled and nodded, and held her hand out to the girl.

"Can you take me to Sesshomaru, Rin? He is going to teach me how to fight."

Rin looked at Kagome with a wide-eyed stare, and pulled her by her hand down a hallway to the right.

"Lord Sesshomaru sent Rin to find Lady Kagome, because he was afraid she would get lost in the castle. Does Lady Kagome think Lord Sesshomaru will teach Rin to fight too?"

"Maybe when you are older, Rin. But Sesshomaru and I both will protect you, until you are old enough to learn, how is that Rin?"

Rin clapped her hands and twirled gleefully down the hallway, stopping in front of a set of doors recessed into the stone walls.

"Rin will be very safe, Lady! Lord Sesshomaru said to leave Lady Kagome here, and go find Jaken to make him pick flowers with Rin! Goodbye, pretty Lady!"

Kagome laughed at the girls antics, and opened the doors, finding herself in a large dojo, standing behind Sesshomaru, who knelt in the center of the room. She knelt beside him, and placed one of her hands over his. He spoke quietly, his eyes closed, and she was struck by the utter seriousness of his voice, all hint of play gone from it.

"The senses of a youkai are many times more capable than those of a human. Sight, hearing, smell, taste - all of these things are greatly affected. Even your ability to distinguish between things by texture and feel is heightened now. Learning to use these abilities can save your life, and expose the weaknesses of an opponent. Fear debilitates, and its scent is harsh and thick. Hatred, pain, arousal, joy, love….all these and more have their own scent, that you must learn to recognize. But that is a lesson for another day. I am not worried, either, about teaching you swordplay; that can come later. You are excellent with your bow, and the miko energy you can lend to your arrows will protect you from any demon out for a quick meal, as well as many who might be more…persistent. Your natural weapons we will discover and utilize when we spar. For now, I want you to close your eyes, and we will concentrate on your hearing. Focus only on sound, on your breathing and mind, on the sound of our heartbeats, the light through the windows, the natural noises of this room."

Kagome listened, allowing time to stretch outside of her awareness, and hearing a completely new world open up in her mind. She could hear Sesshomaru's slow, steady breathing, the uneven beat of her own heart, and the stillness of the air in the dojo.

"I can hear your heartbeat, Sesshomaru…"

Her voice was barely a whisper, a wondering sigh that bordered on the edge of disbelief.

"I am going to blindfold you now Kagome, and I want you to try and find me with your ears. I will not speak, but the body has its own sounds. You know them now. Find me."

He tied a strip of silk around her eyes, and moved quickly and silently to a corner of the room. Kagome stood carefully, and tried to listen again for the sound of his heartbeat. When she found the slow, pulsing throb, she was not sure which direction to go in, and moved slowly to her right. The farther right she moved, the softer it got, and she growled in frustration, stepping backwards until she noticed that it had gotten even softer, though she had moved no farther to the right.

*Which means…*

She moved confidently forward and to the left, and walked straight into his chest. She stumbled back, laughing, and pulled off the blindfold, but he was no longer in front of her. She blinked, and stepped backwards, once again into Sesshomaru, but this time his arms settled snuggly around her waist and he nipped at her throat. She gasped in surprise, and her body convulsed when he sank his fangs into the mark on her neck. She cried out loud and flexed her claws, falling limp in his arms.

"Is…is that going to happen every time you do that?"

Her voice trembled weakly, and her breath came hard.

"Oh yes. I must say, I enjoy it, my Kagome."

She kissed him quickly, and mumbled against his lips, sliding her hands under the edge of his haori.

"What…about training…?"

He laughed into her hair, and nudged her gently away with a wicked grin.

"I've waited three hundred years for you, Kagome….and I think your training can wait a few hours. But if you insist…then perhaps we should try something different."

He moved away faster than she could see, and her kimono gaped open. She blushed deeply and pulled it closed, glaring at Sesshomaru, who stood at the other end of the dojo with her obi in his hand. He raised an eyebrow, and dropped it on the ground, moving smoothly towards her. She backed against the wall, and he grazed her neck with his fangs.

"Catch me if you can…"

His breath sent shivers through her, and she blinked red out of her eyes, growling softly. She wound her miko around her, and vanished from his sight. He narrowed his eyes, and listened for her, but could neither see nor sense her. She moved around the edge of the dojo, her hand over her mouth to keep from giggling, and dropped her kimono. He moved toward the sound, and caught the rustling silk before it hit the ground.

*So that is the game you want to play…*

He smirked and dropped his haori next to her kimono. Sesshomaru felt a breath of air move against his skin, and a tracery of claws against his back, and he turned in time to catch a flash of silver hair that quickly disappeared. Kagome stared hungrily at his naked chest, smooth muscles flowing under his skin. A growl escaped her lips, and she moved quickly backwards, but not quite fast enough for the sensitive ears of the Taiyoukai. He reached for in time to feel his claws slip through the length of her hair, and came away with a black ribbon. He growled in frustration, and dropped it on the ground, sniffing for her scent. Kagome moved as quickly as she could, sneaking up behind him until she had her arms wrapped tightly around his waist.

Sesshomaru turned in her arms, and kissed her hard, feeling himself harden at the feel of her naked body pressed tightly against him. Kagome pulled away panting, and whispered into his ear, caressing the side of his face with her breath.

"Got you…."

She slipped her hands into his hakama, grasping his hard length, and his eyes narrowed to slits. He growled impatiently, tearing his hakama in his haste to get them off. She stared at him in shock.

*That was inside of me? Dear Gods! Sesshomaru…*

Her thoughts were confused lust and fear, desire warring with the memory of pain…but she knew the pain had been her transformation and not his loving. Sesshomaru's eyes raked her body, smooth ivory curves and taut nipples. He could feel her shaking, her mixed scent of fear and arousal playing havoc with his youkai. She rubbed her body against him, tempting him to touch her, take her. The invitation was too much for him to resist, and he slid two fingers deep into her wet heat. She bucked against his body, and he shuddered every time she moved.

"Sesshomaru…please…"

He rubbed his thumb in circles around her core, taking her to the edge and keeping her there, and she let out a low cry. Her eyes turned brilliant red, and she pushed him over with a burst of strength, sinking her fangs into the joint of shoulder and neck, marking him as he had marked her. She pulled away, licking his blood off her lips, but he pushed her over again, entering her but laying still between her thighs. She rocked desperately from side to side, the teasing too much for her, but he held her hips steady, moving slowly, reveling in the feel of her tight heat around him.

Kagome screamed his name, a broken cry, and gasped with tears in her eyes - but Sesshomaru did not stop. He ran his claws over her breasts and felt her shudder, the muscles inside her body clenching and forcing a growl out of his lips. Silver eyes stared up at him, and he sucked her tongue into his mouth, holding her hips as he thrust deeper into her, relishing the moment when the silver disappeared again.
She writhed under him, scratching fiercely across his chest. Sesshomaru hissed, a combination of pain and pleasure, and caught her hands in his, lapping his blood off her claws. She wrenched them free, surprised at her own strength, and fastened her lips around the scratches. It was finally too much for him, and he took her with demon speed, locking his fangs in his mark, waves of heat crashing through his body. He felt her climax and it added to his own, until neither could stand it any more and he collapsed beside her quivering body, pulling her possessively close against his chest. He heard her yawn, and nuzzled her hair.

"Sleep, koi…I will take care of you."

She turned enough to kiss him, and settled back against his chest.

"…called me koi, S'homaru…"

He smiled, though she could not see him, and tightened his arm gently around her waist.

"Yes...I...I did."

She fell into a contented sleep, and Sesshomaru watched her, listening to her steady soft breathing until she awoke. Kagome rolled closer to his warm body, peeking out the window at the sky, the sun just beginning to set. She nuzzled her head against his chest, delighting in the feel of his smooth skin against hers, looking for the sound of his heartbeat.

"We slept all day, Sess-chan…so much for training."

He kissed her gently, then stood and stretched, and she gloried in the sight of his naked body. He stood tall, and leanly muscled, flawless to her eyes. He watched her watching him, and held out a hand to help her up.

"Something wrong, my Kagome?"

She grinned up at him.

"Definitely not."

But she winced when she saw the scratches across his chest, not yet fully healed, and touched one gently with her fingertips.

"Did I do that, Sess-chan? I did not mean to hurt you…"

He quirked a brow at her and helped her into her kimono, making a small scratch on one of her shoulders and licking it clean.

"Did that hurt, my Kagome?"

"N...no…"

He laughed at her panting, and smiled at her, brushing the bangs away from the back of her neck so he could kiss her there.

"No more did you hurt me, koi."

She slipped her arms around his waist inside his open haori, and leaned against his chest.

"You did it again."

"What?"

"Called me koi.'

He picked her up and carried her out of the dojo.

"I know."

*Will you love me, my Kagome?*
