InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bloodlust ❯ Delightful Interruption (lemon) ( Chapter 28 )

Kaede led Kagome to al small clearing in InuYasha's forest that she had never seen before, surprising considering how many times she had been through it, and the older miko gestured for Kagome to come near her.

"This clearing is sacred, the spirits that occupy this space powerful. Not many know it, but this clearing and the Goshinboku were the reason this village was founded here. To use one's miko is not only a matter of knowing the proper words to say, the proper way to conduct a ceremony, because these things can and do change. To be a true miko, ye must learn the language of spirits, the art of speaking through soul touches without using words."

Kagome nodded slowly.

"It sounds…it sounds difficult, but not complicated. Is that what I do when I charge my arrows with miko? Talk to the spirit in the arrow?"

Kaede nodded.

"In the most basic terms, yes. When you charge an arrow with miko power, your soul touches the spirit of the arrow and lends the arrow a portion of your power to purify evil."

"That I can understand - but Kaede, I have done things since my youkai was released that I can't explain. I sent my miko through the Tetsusaiga, and the sword seemed to amplify my power. Tensaiga resurrected Sesshomaru, but somehow I cleaned the poison from his system and healed his wounds…sort of the same as when I restored his arm. And then…just a few days ago, without even thinking of it, a wave of power came off my body and towards one of the dragon clan leaders. How can I do these things, Kaede?"

The old miko patted the ground beside her, and Kagome sat down.

"Kagome, my theory is this. Even before the release of your youkai, strong emotions have always aided you in the use of your miko powers. InuYasha once told me that you used you bow to reflect a shikagami into the kuromiko Tsubaki's eye. Did you know then what you were doing?"

Kagome shook her head.

"It is no different than using the Tetsusaiga to amplify a blast of your miko. It may seem that these things happen more often now, but that is to be expected. The emotions and passions of youkai run deeper and stronger than those of humans, and a youkai body can take more punishment and restore its own energy more quickly. However, we still can not leave this to chance. Ready yourself, Kagome; we will first begin by creating a simple barrier."

Sesshomaru moved like a breath of wind towards Kaede's small village, noting that the dragon army was indeed moving west towards the castle. The scent of thousands of youkai passed over the land at him, and he flinched away from it, preventing a battle lust from flooding his thoughts. His mind focused on Kagome, and he let the remembered scent of her skin wash away the dragon stench.

At the edge of InuYasha's forest Sesshomaru stopped and looked back over his lands, noting with keenness born of his youkai the cloud of dust in the noon sunlight that showed the steadily moving army of the dragon clans. Calculating by the sun's position in the sky, he noted grimly that half of his army had indeed been cut off, probably since moments after he sent the summons. An odd grimace crossed his face at the unsubstantiated feel of a presence behind him, and one hard stare later he sped deep into the forest, his youkai leaping through his veins as though it could find Kagome faster that way.

Kagome sweated under the sun, grateful that the thick heat of summer had already given way to the less oppressive heat of autumn. Kaede stood across from her, eyes focused on the squirming mass of miko energy that had collected in Kagome's cupped palms. Kagome seemed to stare straight into it, but her gaze was blank and lost deeply in the effort of her attempts to control her power, and under the steady pressure of her will the writhing mass of power calmed itself and became a gently glowing sphere.

"I did it, Kaede I -"

The sudden intrusion of a familiar presence entranced her thoughts, and the glowing sphere of miko in her hands flushed out of existence. Kaede crossed her arms, and prepared to chastise her for her sudden lack of concentration, but the expression of ecstatic listening that washed over Kagome's face stopped her words.

"Kagome? Is something wrong with ye, child?"

Her eyes flashed red and back to silver, and her breathing sped itself.

"Sess-chan!"

Before Kaede could say another word, Kagome was gone in a flash of silver. She followed her inner awareness of his nearness more than his scent, but when she caught a hint of pine, rough around the edges, youkai instinct took over, and she met Sesshomaru moving as fast as she was in the opposite direction. He caught her wrist as he passed by her and spun her against his chest, stumbling slightly backwards at the rebound from her speed. At once his hands slid into her hair and pulled the softness of her lips against his mouth, murmuring her name between searing embraces.

"Kagome…my Kagome…"

Her hands tangled in the mixed silk of his hair and his haori, and she gasped brokenly in his arms, slow fire rushing through her body every time his tongue slipped past her lips. Sesshomaru's nostrils flared at the scent of her arousal, and he held her at arms length, willing himself to keep control. She felt the tenseness in his thoughts, and purposely pressed waves of her own arousal into his soul through their mating bond. Instantly she was on the ground, arms pinned over her head, as he let the sharp tips of his fangs press against her skin as he dragged open mouthed kisses along her neck. His lips sucked gently at the mark on her neck, and her hands tensed on his shoulders, drawing his haori into tight fists. Slowly, he let his tongue trace the mark, and then smiled down at her through the silver screen of his bands.

"You have not learned yet not to tease me, my Kagome? How brave of you…"

She grinned happily up at him, and wriggled one of her wrists free, tracing his striped cheek with her claws.

"I don't think its especially brave…just especially fun. But I cannot believe this…War…is over, Sess-chan, it has not even been a week. Why are you here?"

He stood and pulled her to her feet and close against his chest.

"No…nowhere near over. The fighting has not yet begun. I am going to break half my army through the line of the dragons, and it may be weeks before there is a lull. Kouga suggested that you would want to know this, and so I came."

Kagome's eyes widened.

"Kouga suggested?"

"Yes. He seems to have accepted our mating, though I still think he would take you if he had half a chance…but then so would any youkai in his right mind."

Kagome blushed and smiled against his haori.

"Well, either way, I am glad he has stopped being such a damned fool. I am glad you came, Sess-chan, I've missed you."

He nuzzled her hair, and his arms tightened around her waist.

"I have missed you as well, my mate."

She shivered slightly as clouds drifted across the sun, suddenly chill even after her training and the run to find him.

*Youkai!*

"Sess-chan!"

But he was already in front of her, and he in battle stance.

"I know. You will not fight, Kagome."

She sighed and nodded.

"I will not fight."

Five minutes later a very dead dragon youkai lay in pieces on the ground, and Sesshomaru sniffed carefully and shook his head in disgust.

"I should have known they would see and follow me, though I was not aware of it until now. This speaks of magic, and it is not youkai magic."

"What do you mean `not youkai magic'?"

Sesshomaru shook his head and tugged her gently away from the dead youkai and towards the village.

"You cannot answer me with silence, Sesshomaru! I am your mate, and I am worried… and I do not like magic when it is used in battle against those I love."

Sesshomaru turned abruptly to face her, and she only barely prevented herself from walking into his chest.

"Forgive me, my Kagome, you are right. The hiding of scents and aura is a miko spell, not youkai. It worries me because in situations such as this, the only miko who will aid a youkai is a kuromiko."

Kagome hissed slightly and her eyes darkened with a reddish tinge.

"I have fought a kuromiko, by the name of Tsubaki. She was aiding Naraku, one of his attempts to destroy our group. It was…difficult, to say the least.

Sesshomaru looked back towards the edge of the forest where he had entered it, a worried scowl tainting his features.

"The problem is multiplied when youkai are involved - a kuromiko of sufficient power can do great damage, especially to groups of youkai that are gathered in one place."

Kagome nodded and her thoughts doubled their worry, but she kept them to herself.

"How long do you have before you must go back, Sess-chan?"

"Not long…a day at most. My commander expects me to have reached the cut off half of my army in two days time, and from there I will have to organize an attack to break through the dragon's defensive line."

Kagome nodded, and something flickered in her eyes.

"Sess-chan…if the dragon clans have a kuromiko working for them…I should come with you. There is no way for you to counter the magic of a miko, Sess-chan…except with the magic of another miko. I am the obvious choice."

Sesshomaru growled and looked down into her eyes.

"I will not expose you to this danger, Kagome! You carry my pup, you are not fully trained, I will not risk losing you."

He pressed her tightly against his body, heat burning in his eyes.

"It would destroy me to lose you, my Kagome. This kuromiko…she will die, she does not know what she has done by making herself my enemy. I have destroyed her kind before.'

A frustrated sigh escaped Kagome lips, and he wrapped his arms more tightly around her waist, ravishing her mouth.

"Please do not argue this, my mate. Trust me."

She nodded, and let a mischievous fire light in her eyes.

"I will not argue, Sess-chan, but I expect to be justly compensated."

The heat of his stare danced on her nerves, and she licked dry lips, pressing the length of her body against him. His tongue flicked gently across the mark on her neck, and she shuddered in delight.

"I am not sure I should reward you, my mate. I have told you before what I think of you fighting in this war…perhaps I should punish you instead."

She made it halfway through a smile before his fangs found their place in his mark, and Kagome gasped, her hands tightening instantly in his hair. Sesshomaru pulled the thick sweetness of her blood to his tongue and shivered at the heat of it. Her eyes glazed red, and she shook with the tension of her arousal, the gentle sucking pressure of his lips not enough to push her over the edge.

She growled out of pure instinct, almost angry, almost pleading, but he ignored her desire and untied her obi carelessly, pulling on her taut nipples with the barest of pressures. Her thoughts snapped, and she pressed her breasts into his hands. Three days alone and listening to Sango's cries the night before had built her lust, and his teasing touches were driving her carefully and completely insane. He pulled away from her neck and lapped red blood away from her pale skin, teasing oversensitive nerves, and then he stared into her lust glazed vision with a satisfied smirk.

"I think you have been punished enough, my Kagome…"

A low growl passed her lips, and silk rustled to the ground as she slid her kimono off her shoulders.

"Please…"

A feral smile touched his eyes and he ran his hands across the smooth skin of her hips, and her breath hissed from behind her lips at the gentle contact. She untied his haori and stepped closer to his body, barely brushing her nipples against the skin of his chest. Waves of fire echoed between them, and Sesshomaru blinked back a lust induced haze that threatened to overwhelm him. He felt her hands on the ties of his hakama, and then the full press of her flushed naked skin against his.

He lay her down against the moss covered ground and bent over her breasts, teasing her nipples with fangs and tongue. She arched her back against his mouth, and twin drops of blood slid across the sweat-slicked skin of her breasts where his fangs pierced her hot flesh. He followed them with his tongue, making moist trails down her body, and the taste of Kagome's skin worked on him like a drug, an aphrodisiac made from pure desire. He felt her claws on the skin of his back, tightening and releasing in his body with every brush of his tongue. He let his fingers drift and followed them with his mouth, brushing against the heated bundle of nerves at her core, and she writhed, searching for pressure or rhythm or both. He felt her muscles tense, and tasted the spasms of pleasure that wracked her body, pulling himself up along her skin to brace himself on his arms and nip gently at her ear.

"Relax…"

The whisper of his breath on her skin added layers to her desire, and she thrust her hips toward his body, but he caught her motion and held her still. Slowly, wickedly, impossibly slowly, he pressed into her, and she growled deep in her throat. He matched her growl, reveling in the tight heat of her, and Kagome shuddered ecstatically, the long building pressure in her belly coiling itself tighter with every motion he made inside her body. Sesshomaru held himself to a slow rhythm, eyes hot with youkai and the temptation to lose control.

He held out against himself for long minutes, focused on the pounding rush of Kagome's heartbeat and the hard pulse of his own panting lust. His lips crashed onto hers, and Kagome nipped his bottom lip just hard enough to draw blood. He let her coax it from the small cut, and felt the flooded warmth of her body when over and over she jerked under him and wept with the intensity of pleasure that pained her nerves.

Her claws dug deep into his back and he hissed in strange pleasure, pressing the skin of his throat to her fangs. Her eyes lit with exquisite passion, and she buried her teeth in the pale scar on his paler skin. The strain threw him into an abyss, and he licked his way back to his mark on her, fangs entering her skin and instantly losing them in echoes of pleasure and memories of orgasmic bliss that shattered thought.

When he came back to himself he disengaged from her body, nuzzling her cheek gently. She turned towards him and met his gaze with glowing eyes.

"You are wicked, Sess-chan, but I do love you."

His eyes softened, and he felt her shiver in the cool evening air, and pulled her closer to his chest.

"Koi…"
