Chapter 14 : An Undecided Mind
Their afternoon meal had been quiet. They had all actually ate in the dining room, and the servants had expertly served them. Most of the servants were now afraid to get too close to the odd miko that had somehow got a ticket into the main domain of the great demon Lord of the Western Lands. Rin was sleepy and went to bed early, so Kagome and Sesshoumaru prepared to spare. Kagome had changed back into her sparing clothes, but Sesshoumaru remained in the same white outfit he always wore.
Silently, they each drew a sword, and took stance. It was quiet all throughout the castle, but even more so around the dojo. Sesshoumaru made the first move, and swiftly moved to strike, but Kagome easily moved to block his attack, then turned the tables with an attack of her own. Sesshoumaru blocked her attack just as easily. The two went back in forth in combat, neither speaking a word to the other. The only sound between them was the ching of their colliding blades. They were moving fairly fast, but neither was trying very hard. They had identical blank faces, wonderful posture, and their movements were fluid, precise, and accurate. However, Kagome's eyes shone. This was different from her spar with Sen. She felt a strange tingling, then she felt as if there was something raging inside her; something that dearly wanted to be released.
Slowly they stopped and backed away, getting ready to start again. This time, neither held back. They went at each other in full force, and their movements were so swift it was hard to see either. The clang of metal against metal was a constant hymn created by their vibrating blades. There was a loud clang, and Sesshoumaru's sword went flying through the air, so he took stance for a hand to hand combat. Kagome rested her sword on the ground and also took a stance. She waited for him to attack, and dodged as he tried to turn the tables. She then attacked, but Sesshoumaru caught her wrist, and knocking her feet out from under her, sent her falling on the floor on her back, but she did not remain there. She had quickly jumped back to her feet and did a back-hand spring, grabbed her sword, and landed in a defensive stance, with her sword glinting in the rays from the dusk sun that had managed to find a way in through the windows.
Sesshoumaru reclaimed his sword, and the two went into a sword battle once more. This one did not last as long as the last had. Kagome was tiring and it became appearant when it was her sword that flew through the air, and she found herself pinned against the wall by Sesshoumaru. He had each of her wrists above her head, held by his hands, and his face was scarcely a few centimeters away from her own. A pulsing sensation in her abdomen had become appearant to her, and suddenly she knew. She was not naive; all this fighting with Sesshoumaru had down right turned her on! She flushed slightly, and as she looked up at him, the raging beast inside her sought control, and she lost herself.
Sesshoumaru was enjoying this spar, watching the way she moved in the thin, tight clothes she was wearing. When he had pinned her to the wall, the feel of her body against his, it made him want to remove her clothes more than ever. It was then he had smelt her arousal. Their fighting had had the same effect on her. As she looked up at him, he saw her turquoise eyes, and they seemed to glow.. Hold on.. They WERE glowing. Her hair had started to ripple around her face, as if wind had suddenly came blowing in the room, and before he knew it, he had been blasted away from her, and landed on his butt in the floor. When he looked up at her again, a white pulsing light had surrounded her, and she looked like a goddess.. in tight black clothes.
Kagome felt strange. She felt surpressed, yet free. Her mind seemed to be split in two, and a side she never knew had began to prevail. The other side of her mind was objecting with the prevailing, and she was unsure what to do, but then the side she had always known surfaced and rang louder than the other. She felt a sharp pain run through her, and she fell to her knees, a pink swirl of enrgy errupting to drive away the previous white. She started to fall back but caught herself shakily, propping up with a hand on each side of her on the floor. She was panting gentley, and her hair had come down from it's bun and lined her face. She was startled when she noticed a pair of legs in flowing white before her, and quickly glanced up. Sesshoumaru was standing above her, and she felt as if he was looking down at her with his emotionless face, and it made her angry, so she looked to the ground.
"Don't look down at me." She said it in a hoarse whisper, and was surprised when Sesshoumaru knelt down on one knee, and gentley put one hand under her chin, tilting her head up so she would look at him.
"I'm not." He slipped an arm around her waist and helped her stand up. She was astounded by how kind and gentle he was being. This was the same demon lord who had tried to kill her many times before. She slipped her arm around his to balence herself, and they slowly exited the dojo and walked down the hall.
Sesshoumaru helped her inside her room, and shut the door. He helped her to a chair where she sat down, her head tilted toward the ground. Once again he knelt and lifted her chin, her turquoise meeting his deep gold. She felt as if she was drowning, and something she never would have thought possible. Sesshoumaru had leaned in, putting his forehead against hers, and had actually kissed her, then whispered quietly. "You are beautiful. Inuyasha was a fool to choose a clay doll over you."
Kagome's mood spiralled down. It would have been a perfect moment had he not mentioned Inuyasha and Kikyou. She forced a slight smile. "Thank you, Lord Sesshoumaru." Her voice sounded hollow even to herself. It had grown late, and she knew it must be near midnight. "I think I'll take a bath before I go to bed, and see you in the morning." Sesshoumaru nodded and left her in her room, while Kagome gathered a sleeping kimono and some clean undergarments, and made her way to the hot springs in record time.
