Unfulfilled Desire

 

 

 

 

“Hey, Kouga!” called Ginta from the back of the cart.

 

Once again, Sesshoumaru had sent a gift. Every month, a meal fit for a king.

 

`Doesn't he ever give up?' thought Kouga, incensed that Sesshoumaru hadn't gotten the message.

 

The cold winds of winter were not what chilled Kouga. It was Sesshoumaru's persistence. Even though he had sent no gifts in return, the damn dog just didn't get the message. He gazed at the unforgiving cover of gray clouds.

 

“Hey, Kouga!” Ginta called again.

 

Startled out of his thoughts, Kouga jumped from the boulder on which he was standing, appearing in a blur in front of Ginta.

 

“Look.”

 

Kouga peered over the side of the cart. Sesshoumaru had ceased sending a plain wooden cart. This one was regal, painted onyx with red and gold filigree trim. The horses were large and black as midnight, their coats offset by shining golden colored reins.

 

“The toad won't let me touch it, says it's for you,” said Ginta with raised eyebrows.

 

Kouga peered at the white mass of fur.

 

“What kind of fur is this?” Kouga asked furrowing his brow.

 

“Lord Sesshoumaru traveled very far to get this for you, wolf,” spat the green toad demon, narrowing his yellow bug-eyes. “It is from a bear non-existent in these parts.”

 

Kouga tugged the fur. It was thicker than he'd ever seen. Pulling it over the side, he realized it wasn't a rug, but an ankle length robe.

 

“Damn, Kouga! I've never seen anything like it!” exclaimed Hakkaku.

 

Kouga lifted the robe to his nose. The scent of Sesshoumaru lay heavy on the fur.

 

`What'd he do, roll on it?'

 

Kouga sighed. It was a magnificent gift, but should he keep it? How was he ever going to make Sesshoumaru leave him alone?

 

“I would speak alone with your leader,” said the toad, glaring at Kouga's men.

 

Kouga stood silent for a moment before signaling his men to give them some distance. After they were alone, Kouga looked down at the toad whose height barely reached above his knees. Bulging yellow eyes stared up at him. It seemed that the toad held the same disdain for Kouga as he did for it.

 

“Lord Sesshoumaru has instructed me to lead you to him. He wishes to speak with you and you are to wear the robe,” huffed Jakken.

 

Kouga just stared at him while considering his options. `It would be a chance to tell him to back off.'

 

“Which way toad? Nevermind, I'll sniff him out.”

 

“You must wear the robe. And, my name is Jakken!” screeched the toad demon, waving his two-headed staff.

 

Kouga threw the robe around himself. “Which way…toad?”

 

Jakken mumbled under his breath, pointing a finger northwest. Kouga nearly jumped to run at top speed, then reconsidered.

 

`I'll make him wait. Don't want him to think I'm in a big hurry to see him.'

 

He smirked, imagining the great lord pacing and frustrated. Pulling his shoulders back and turning his face to the sky, Kouga set off at a leisurely stroll. In his mind, he could see Sesshoumaru turn to glare at him, angry at being forced to wait. However, his imagination turned against him. The heat in the amber eyes melted from anger to hunger and Kouga felt a stirring in the pit of his stomach. It was a pleasurable thing, not at all what Kouga had expected. He tried to shake the vision out of his head, but the warmth in his belly persisted.

 

`Kagome, she is who I'm supposed to have those feelings for, not Sesshoumaru. But…I've never felt that kind of desire for anyone, not even her.' Kouga frowned, less than amused at his self-discovery. `It must be this robe. He's put a spell on it.'

 

Without thinking, he brought his arm up and put his nose into the fur. `It smells like him.'

 

Kouga dropped his arm and tried to ignore the scent. It was a vain effort. Wrapped in the robe, Sesshoumaru's scent surrounded him. Remembering those eyes gazing into his just before Sesshoumaru's warm, wet tongue had licked the blood from his neck brought heat to his chest and his groin of all places. Then there was the kiss. The memory of soft lips brushing against his once again brought warmth to his body.

 

`Bastard.'

 

Kouga tried to push away the thoughts. They just wouldn't leave him alone, as though he were anticipating his meeting with Sesshoumaru; Sesshoumaru; tall, elegant, and powerful. Such power could bring down the strongest of enemies. Not only that, it was more than enough to lead a pack.

 

`Where the fuck did that thought come from?!'

 

Kouga wasn't strolling now, he was stomping his way to Sesshoumaru. `Damn dog!'

 

But that `damn dog' held the cool beauty of the night sky in the crescent moon on his forehead and the heat of the afternoon sun in the amber eyes set in that face with skin pale as moonlight. The moon had its markings, but they could never compare to the two lavender streaks adorning each of Sesshoumaru's cheeks. Kouga's face flushed with crimson as confusion, embarrassment, and anger swam together.

 

`A spell. Definitely a spell. I'm fast enough. I'll just kill him,' thought Kouga, knowing that if it came down to it, he would probably be the one to die.

Sesshoumaru waited with the patience only he could possess. Only the dead had such patience. The wolf would come and he knew it. As always, Sesshoumaru was prepared, but this time it wasn't for battle. The spiked armor that usually covered his chest and left shoulder was neatly tucked away beneath a tree. However, he would not go unarmed. The swords stayed at his side.

 

He stared at the line of sleeping trees, their branches bare of foliage. Soon, he would look upon those cerulean-blue eyes and that bronze body that held a world of wilderness trapped beneath sun-washed skin.

 

`What will that skin feel like beneath my caress? What will he taste like?' Sesshoumaru imagined exploring Kouga's body with his lips and tongue. From the wolf's neck down, down to places much more sensitive...What pleasures awaited!

 

The great lord's musings were interrupted by the sound of heavy, deliberate footsteps, making their way toward him. He had been so wrapped up in his thoughts that he hadn't even smelled Kouga's scent. Now that he had…

 

`Anger, and a hint of desire.' At the thought that his efforts had not been in vain, Sesshoumaru cocked an eyebrow and couldn't help the shadow of a smile.

 

Kouga's arrival was heralded by his power flaring out across the clearing.

 

“Ah, my wolf. Did you miss me?” taunted Sesshoumaru, barely containing his amusement.

 

“You put a spell on this robe. Admit it!” hissed Kouga, removing the robe and throwing it to the ground.

 

Sesshoumaru looked down at the gift he had gone to such great lengths to obtain. When his eyes met Kouga's, there was no hunger, no desire, but there was anger, and plenty of it.

 

“You dare to insult me?” growled Sesshoumaru, glaring at Kouga.

 

“You insult me, Sesshoumaru, sending me a bewitched garment to gain my favor,” Kouga growled back as every muscle in his body tensed for battle.

 

Sesshoumaru stepped forward, his aura flaring red. “What makes you believe that I, the Lord of the Western Lands, would have need of magic in order to obtain what I desire? No one refuses me, wolf. Not even you.”

 

By the end of the last sentence, Sesshoumaru's voice had gone low and cold. He had gone to that quiet place, that still well of peace a person reaches before slaughtering its prey.

 

Recognizing that tone of voice, Kouga placed his feet apart and fisted his hands at his waist, waiting for Sesshoumaru to make the first move.

 

“You will learn respect or die, wolf prince,” Sesshoumaru stated with a cold calm.

 

Kouga remained silent, waiting, watching, analyzing his options, and gauging possible moves. One thing that couldn't be predicted was that white fluffy pelt. He eyed it warily, watching for any slight twitch. Heat flowed from the elegant assassin, his power lifting the silvery mane that flowed to his ankles. Sesshoumaru's power buffeted his body.

 

There was a sliver of a crack in the wall of power Kouga had built up around himself, and that vulnerability was standing right before him. `Could I really bring myself to kill him?'

 

From the top of his silvered head to the tips of his black boots, Sesshoumaru emanated power. For Kouga, that power wasn't just something to be in awe of, but something sensuous and desirable. It called to him, but he refused to listen, intent on ridding himself of whatever seemed to be trying to take control of his mind and body.

 

Sesshoumaru advanced on Kouga, but drew no weapon. Even in his anger at the wolf's resistance, his desire still remained and he could not bring himself to kill the wolf prince. Hurt him, yes. Kill him, not by far.

 

`My wolf needs to learn obedience,' thought the arrogant assassin. He rushed Kouga, but to his surprise, the wolf was gone. Sesshoumaru spun around in a whirl of silver mercury just in time to see the foot that lashed out at his abdomen.

 

`I have underestimated his speed,' Sesshoumaru mused as he grabbed Kouga's ankle in a blur of movement.

 

Kouga's foot did not hit its mark. Instead, he found himself flat on his back, barely able to breath. Sesshoumaru stood above him, staring down with a look that could freeze boiling water. Through a glare that he hoped would bore a hole through that iceberg, Kouga allowed his defiance to strike out at Sesshoumaru. Deep down he knew that Sesshoumaru could probably best him, but he could bluff. No harm in that.

 

Yeah, right.

 

With lightening speed, using his shoulders for leverage, he tucked his knees into a backward somersault, landing in a crouching position in front of a tree. The move left him facing Sesshoumaru.

 

Sesshoumaru stood motionless, watching muscles ripple as Kouga rose and flung his black hair out of his face, revealing fierce determination in his steely gaze. A brisk winter wind billowed through the clearing, kicking up old dried leaves. Silver hair streamed from behind Sesshoumaru, reaching out toward Kouga as though to ensnare him. As the wind fought its own battle, their gazes locked, each waiting for the other to make the next move. The reach of silky, silver tendrils seemed to grow as Sesshoumaru took one careful step forward. The strands of hair seemed to take on a life of their own, enticing Kouga to wrap himself in the web of Sesshoumaru's seduction.

 

Determined to avoid Sesshoumaru's trap, Kouga shifted his weight in expectation of Sesshoumaru's next move.

 

Watching the conflict growing behind Kouga's eyes was exceedingly delightful. Sesshoumaru knew that Kouga was close to being bewitched, and that of the wolf's own accord. The wolf didn't understand that he was only fighting an attraction that would never die. Sesshoumaru simply needed to enlighten the wolf. He took another silent step while sweeping up his long, elegant fingers to tame his unruly hair.

 

At the small movement of Sesshoumaru's arm, Kouga's muscles tensed and he prepared to spring forward at a possible threat. Sesshoumaru didn't give him the chance. Air burst from Kouga's lungs as his body slammed into the tree behind him. He was thoroughly pinned by Sesshoumaru. In this one case, Sesshoumaru might argue that being short one arm had its advantages. It gave him reason to have full-body contact with the wolf, not that the great Lord of the Western Lands needed a reason for anything he desired to do.

 

Once again, poisonous talons threatened to pierce the skin of Kouga's throat. `Even with only one arm, the dog can whip my ass, damn it,' thought a very disgruntled Kouga. He tried to hide his disgust with himself by glaring at Sesshoumaru.

 

“What do you want from me, Sesshoumaru,” Kouga growled low in his throat.

 

“You, wolf. And I will have you. However, you must learn respect, obedience,” Sesshoumaru purred, his lips feathering back and forth against the shell of Kouga's ear. The shiver he felt rushing through Kouga spurred him on.

 

“What do you mean, `me'?” asked Kouga, even though he was quite certain he knew the answer.

 

“You know perfectly well what I mean, Kouga,” murmured Sesshoumaru while nuzzling his cheek against Kouga's.

 

Kouga could feel blood creeping up his neck and into his cheeks and ears. With the warm press of Sesshoumaru's body against his, a tingling sensation bloomed in his chest and steadily made its way to his groin. Kouga growled at his body's betrayal.

 

“Is there a problem, my wolf,” asked Sesshoumaru, pressing Kouga's back painfully hard into the bark of the tree as he sniffed the air.

 

Of course, the rough bark wasn't the only thing Kouga was dealing with. Something, unmistakably hard, was pressing against his groin and belly. He had to distract Sesshoumaru, and fast.

 

“First, I am not your wolf. Second, my heart belongs to Kagome. You have no chance.”

 

“Ah. Then why do I feel your hardening arousal? The scent of your desire lingers so strong in the air, I can nearly taste it.” As though demonstrating his point, Sesshoumaru tipped his nose upward and sniffed, then sensuously ran his tongue over his lips before lowering his head and sucking the skin just in front of Kouga's earlobe.

 

The sight and sensation of Sesshoumaru's actions nearly had Kouga's eyes rolling into the back of his head. He valiantly fought against his body's traitorous reaction. His cock was humiliating him by rising to Sesshoumaru's bait. `Think, think, think. Distraction! I don't want just anyone, I want Kagome!'

 

“I find many attractive. It doesn't mean I love them or fuck them,” insisted Kouga, though Sesshoumaru's lips, now trailing across his jaw line, drew a guttural moan.

 

Sesshoumaru's grip tightened, his claws drawing blood. “You will pay for your insolence, my wolf. I will teach you, train you,” murmured Sesshoumaru, pressing Kouga into the tree even harder.

 

`If it weren't for my armor, my back would be bleeding by now.'

 

Kouga's thoughts were lost in a whirlwind of sensation when Sesshoumaru pulled back, those amber eyes piercing through him and gradually moving closer. He was so enthralled that he didn't even notice the nearness of Sesshoumaru's face, until their lips met. His mind lost the battle with his body. The kiss felt so good that he closed his eyes to savor the spicy taste. The scent of Sesshoumaru's clean breath flooded his senses with aroused musk. His legs nearly gave out when Sesshoumaru's hot, wet tongue traced the line of his lips.

 

Forest scents filled Sesshoumaru's nostrils as his nose brushed Kouga's cheek. The taste of the wolf was calling to him as his lips rested against the soft line of Kouga's parted lips. The temptation was enough. He slid his tongue out and laved his attention along the luscious curves of Kouga's plump flesh. When he felt Kouga's body go slack, he was encouraged to continue his foraging in the delightful taste and scent of his future mate.

 

The pressure against Kouga's lips grew more urgent, bruising in its force, and he opened. Slick, wet heat caressed his tongue, wringing a broken moan from Kouga's throat. He wanted to take it back, but it was too late. Too late to discourage the dog. As his mouth was ravaged, Sesshoumaru's knee slid between his thighs and the pressure against his groin started a burning fire through his veins. The combination of the two wound his muscles into a tight spring, ready to explode. When he heard Sesshoumaru's heavy breathing, his mind seemed to wake from its stupor. As he started struggling against Sesshoumaru, he found himself ground into the tree even harder, if that were possible. Perhaps wriggling against Sesshoumaru wasn't the smartest thing to do. The act seemed to merely encourage Sesshoumaru to become bolder.

 

Sesshoumaru could feel the heat of desire rising from Kouga. When a small moan escaped Kouga's lips and his own body answered the call, desire spiked through every cell of his being. He swallowed that delicious sound and his kiss turned from a harsh caress to an expression of his hunger. His entire body ached to be one with the wolf. However, taking Kouga now was not part of the plan. Kouga wasn't ready, but he would take the wolf as far as he could. Tease him. Leave him wanting. As he slid his leg between Kouga's thighs, Sesshoumaru could feel the stirrings of a deeper desire within his prey and was certain that the subsequent writhing was not a request to go further. One last tease. He pressed his hips into Kouga, the entire line of their bodies against one another before he broke the kiss and nipped at the tip of Kouga's ear.

 

“Until we meet again, my wolf,” Sesshoumaru murmured low, thick, and smooth as fine oil. A glint of mischief lit his eyes.

 

Kouga felt the brush of Sesshoumaru's lips against his own before he found himself completely alone, leaning against the tree for support, and sporting a painful hard-on.

 

“Fucking dog! I'll get you for this!” he yelled, not knowing if he would get Sesshoumaru for molesting him or for not finishing the job.

 

Dry leaves skittered along the ground of the empty clearing and suddenly, Kouga felt alone.

 

Very much alone.

Yeah, we can't forget about cute little Rin. It just wouldn't be right. Scenting is an animal trait, so I figured Sess could give in to some of his baser instincts.
