InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Chimera ❯ Reimates ( Chapter 3 )

Reimates

Kagome clung to Sesshoumaru tightly as the world fell away from her. His tail came down from its shoulder perch and wrapped around her-shielding her from the harsh wind. She snuggled against him and sighed in contentment. Luckily, the shard hunters had traveled into the Western Lands, therefore it was no time at all before Sesshoumaru's palace came into view. Kagome gasped at the picturesque sight. It was astonishingly lovely.

Sesshoumaru glanced down at his friend when he heard her gasp and was pleased to see the pleasure his home brought her. Landing gently on his balcony, he carried her inside and set her down. Her eyes widened when the fireplace and candles suddenly burst into life. Walking around his room, she was awed at the elegant majesty of it. Dark wood seemed to be the predominant material along with white and black satin and silk. His bed was large enough for five full grown men to sleep comfortably on and had a canopy. White curtains were drawn aside on the head and foot of the bed, but could be loosened to turn his bed into a makeshift island. His fireplace was huge and had two plush chairs situated in front of it. There were three doors, besides the balcony doors.

Kagome finally turned back to the youkai and smiled brilliantly at him. "Your home is breathtaking, Sesshou. I never knew anything could look like this."

He allowed a small smile. "I'm glad you like it."

"Do you think we'll dream of each other tonight?"

They sat down in the chairs in front of the fireplace. "I doubt it since we are in physical contact with each other. I think the dreams are only a way to connect us when we're separated."

Kagome got up and rummaged through her pack, pulling out her pajamas. "Where can I change and where do I sleep?"

"I'll turn my back while you change."

She looked at him suspiciously before shrugging and turning around. Sesshoumaru did indeed turn his back but was watching her out of the corner of his eye. She was wearing unusual undergarments and he nearly started drooling when she removed her chest bindings, exposing her creamy back. Quickly she scurried into her garments and took up her abandoned chair.

"So, where do I sleep?"

"In here. None of my other rooms are prepared for a guest. I shall have a room ready for you tomorrow."

He smirked slightly at her blush. Arching his brow, he cocked his head and put a hand over his heart. "Do you not trust me, miko? I'm mortally offended, my pride will never be the same."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Of course I trust you. It's just that even though you're my best friend, you are a guy."

Sesshoumaru looked down at his lap and then back at her. "Last time I checked. I'm so happy you could clear that up for me."

She sighed, exasperated. "It's not proper."

Narrowed golden eyes were her only answer. Kagome sighed again and surrendered, knowing Sesshoumaru was not going to back down until he got his way. It's not like he thinks of me as a woman, anyways. I'm still his imouto.

Sesshoumaru looked at her sharply as she climbed into bed. He'd been wondering what she was thinking and had caught a few of her thoughts. Odd, he'd never been able to do that when they were dreaming. Maybe it was a latent power just now emerging. He shrugged and decided to investigate later as he crawled in beside Kagome. She thinks I don't see her as a woman? Oh, Kagome, how very wrong you are. He looked at her as she fluffed her pillow to her liking and settled down.

"Yasumi, Sesshou."

"Yasumi, Kagome."

He leaned over and touched her jaw. Her eyes shot open as they both seemed to be surrounded by a silver haze. Lightening ran through their veins, but in a pleasurably intense way. Kagome felt something like Sesshoumaru's mind and was abruptly thrown into it. The taiyoukai was standing in the middle of his mind, looking extremely surprised. Kagome walked over to him and shifted her weight nervously. All around them were crystals and ice that seemed to reflect memories and colors. Many were shrouded in shadow, but Kagome could see that more were in the light.

Sesshou? Where are we? What's happening?

Sesshoumaru blinked at her and seemed to be having trouble speaking. We're in my mind. I'm not sure what's happening, but I have a guess.

What?

I think it may be the reimate principle. It is a theory that states everyone is born with half a rei and your reimate has the other half. When you find each other, you're whole, complete. If your reimate dies, then you can't really do anything, They're pretty much your reason for living. It is an extremely rare thing for two reimates to find one another.

Kagome nodded and looked around. You think we're reimates?

Sesshoumaru shrugged and then looked at her intently. Hai, I do. If we are, we're destined to be together forever, Kagome.

She lifted her eyes to his. How do we know for sure?

Suddenly, they were pulled back into their separate bodies when the balcony doors (which were left open) slammed against the wall with the wind. Sesshoumaru growled irritably and hastily walked over and shut the doors tightly. Kagome was sitting up in bed when he turned back to her. She looked sleepy and very desirable. Slowly, he crawled back in bed with her and just studied her for a moment. She fidgeted under his scrutiny before glaring at him.

"What?"

"I think I know a way to find out if it's true or not."

"How?"

He shifted and ran his hand through his hair. "I think we'll find out if we kiss."

Kagome swallowed hard. "I, uh, that is, that's probably not such a good, um, idea."

An elegant brow lifted in question. "You don't want to kiss me?"

She blushed. "It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with our friendship. What will happen if we aren't reimates? Will our relationship be ruined?"

"Iie, Kagome, you know nothing can stop me from being your friend. What's the other reason?"

She licked her suddenly dry lips. "I, I don't know how to kiss."

The whisper was so soft, he barely caught it. When the words registered, he pulled her against him and stroked her hair. He'd forgotten about her lack of social interaction. It didn't really surprise him, but for some reason, he was happy he would be her first.

"Everyone has a first kiss, Kagome. I promise I won't bite. Hard."

She giggled a bit. "Okay, but I had better not hear any smart aleck comments."

Sesshoumaru nodded and rolled until he was on top of her, entwining their hands together on either side of her head. Kagome squeaked and was about to berate him for echii thoughts, when he swooped in and kissed her.

She didn't really know what to do, so she just followed his lead. His soft lips and gentle caress made her make a small kitten like noise in the back of her throat. An unusual rumble that sounded vaguely like a purr sounded in answer. She gasped when he licked her bottom lip and he took the opportunity to explore her mouth. The silver haze flared up again, but this time much more intense, making them wonder where one began and the other ended. Kagome shyly returned his tongue's administrations and whimpered when he pulled away. Breathing raggedly, she opened her eyes half way. He was panting as well and then slit his eyes open. They simply held each other's gazes for what seemed like forever.

"Wow," she breathed.

Sesshoumaru snickered and moved to sit beside her. "I think that we are definitely reimates. Never have I received a kiss that earth shattering." He glanced to her flushed, but pleased face. "Kagome, you do realize that this means you'll have to become my mate."

"Why?"

"To protect you and myself. If anyone finds out what we are to each other, they'll come after you. By us being mated, it is very unlikely that anyone will ever realize that we are reimates. Plus, I seem to be somewhat desperately in love with you."

Kagome's head whipped up to look at him. "You aren't in love with me, Sesshou, it's just the haze thing talking. You've never acted any way towards me except like an older brother."

He snorted. "The last time I checked, older brothers did not entertain thoughts like I have about you. I think I've loved you from the very first dream, I was just too young to know it. Then you were too young for me to act on it. Since you've grown up, it's been increasingly difficult to keep my hands to myself. Kami, I don't love you more than life itself. Loving you is life itself."

The miko had tears sliding silently down her cheeks by the time he was done. Upon seeing them, he panicked and hugged her to him.

"I can't remember a time when I didn't love you, Sesshou. You've been my whole world for so long that you're a part of me, deep down. My heart beats with yours."

Sesshoumaru pulled her to lay on top of him and kissed her cheek. "Dear Kami, Kagome, please be my mate."

"Hai, I will."

He pulled her away and stared at her a moment. "There are two things that we must do to become mates. First, I have to bite you between your neck and shoulder. It's a lifebond mark. Second, we must," he cleared his throat trying to bat down a blush. "Um, we have to mate."

Her blue orbs filled with confusion for a moment before understanding rushed in. She swallowed hard. "I guess you should go ahead and get the marking thing over with. I'll try not to be too much of a baby and hold still."

The taiyoukai nodded and pulled her shirt away from her neck. Leaning forward, he licked the spot a moment before clamping down with his fangs. She jerked but resolutely stayed still while he ensured that the bite would leave the desired mark. When he was done, he lapped up her blood, feeling the heady stuff go straight to his head. She tasted so very good. Drawing back, he cut his palm and held it to her lips. Hesitantly, she sipped the blood until he pulled her away. Kagome watched in awe as a small star burst appeared on the juncture between his neck and shoulder.

"A star burst is on you."

He touched the mark and smiled faintly. "That must be your mark. Mine is the crescent moon."

Kagome's mouth made a small `o' as she shifted off of him and looked at anything but him. "So, um, when do we need to do the other thing?"

"As soon as possible. We won't until you are ready, Kagome."

She shifted her attention to him and smiled faintly. "Iie, I think that we should get it over with. I don't want to scare myself out of it."

Sesshoumaru chuckled. "Fine, but if you feel like you want to stop, tell me and I will."

"Just don't do anything kinky-it is my first time. You can have your fun later."

The taiyoukai sputtered and just stared at her in shock for a moment. "You did it-you managed to say something echii that totally shocked me."

Kagome giggled and gave him a cheery smile. "While inexperienced, I do know a few tricks of my own, Mr. Arrogant."

He smirked and rolled her under him again. Leaning down, he kissed her passionately as his hands sliced her pajama top off. She gasped and he took the chance to deepen the kiss. Hesitantly, she reached between them and began to undo the ties to his sleeping kimono. When he'd put it on, she couldn't remember, but it needed to be gone right that second. Sesshoumaru broke the kiss and trailed soft nibbles down her jaw line to her neck. When he came to her pulse point, he licked it sensuously and the sucked on it. Kagome groaned and buried her hands in his hair, stroking his ears. His purr rumbled in approval at her actions.

Finally, Kagome was able to free him from his top and they both moaned when their heated flesh connected. Sesshoumaru kissed a trail down to her ripe breasts and licked the underside of each. Kagome mewled and arched up for more. He smiled and began tracing circles around her lovely mounds. She moaned his name when his hands cupped her and started to play with her aching nipples. He pinched one lightly, sending a spark of raging heat to the secret place between her legs.

Sesshoumaru was quite enjoying having Kagome writhing in ecstasy, but figured he would switch angles when she scraped her nails down his chest, absently flicking his own nipples. If he wasn't hard before, he defiantly was now. Dragging his body teasingly down hers, he lapped at her right nipple and then blew on it, watching it pucker.

"Sesshou!" She said on a moan.

He slid his hands down her sides before taking the puckered nipple into his mouth. Kagome nearly forgot to breath. Glancing down, her eyes nearly rolled back in pleasure at seeing Sesshoumaru sucking on one breast while kneading the other. When he bit down slightly with his fang, she all but screamed. The taiyoukai smirked and paid homage to her other breast as well.

Certain that the two lovely globes had been worshipped, he brought his mouth back to hers for a searing kiss. The silver haze engulfed them, heightening their pleasure until every pore was hypersensitive. Kagome gave an impressive growl and somehow managed to rip his bottom kimono off. He drew away from the kiss and looked at her, amused.

Kagome blushed prettily. "G-gomen."

Sesshoumaru chuckled and had her bare as well in a blink. They simply stared at one another for a long while before Kagome got an evil glint in her eyes. Smirking rather sexily, she wrapped her hands around his neck and drew his attention to her eyes.

"Like what you see?"

"Dear Kami, Kagome," he said as he ravished her lips.

Kagome was running her hands across the muscles in his back and accidentally stroked the base of his tail. He shuddered against her, increasing his purr. She grinned against his lips and began rubbing his tail and his back in alternate long, short, soft, and hard strokes. Sesshoumaru was seriously unsteady and desperately trying to stay in control.

Suddenly, she wiggled out from under him and had pushed him stomach first on the bed. Any protest he would have made died on his lips when she licked down his back and nipped the base of his tail.

"Ka-go-me!"

With a smile of complete feminine satisfaction, she began licking his back and base while she caressed his tail. Sesshoumaru was sure he'd died, but couldn't figure out if this was Heaven or some new torture in Hell. After Kagome bit him again, he pinned her under him and cupped her womanhood. Finding that she was sufficiently lubricated, he tenderly pushed two fingers into her while claiming her mouth in an intense kiss.

Kagome wanted to feel weird with his fingers in her, but the delicious friction he was causing made all thoughts disappear. He came to her maidenhead and she felt him gently stretching her to allow for his penetration. After what seemed like an eternity of mounting desire, he withdrew his hand and positioned himself between her legs.

"Gomen nasai, Koishii."

She nodded and felt him ease into her. Coming to her innocence, he kissed her while simultaneously thrusting in to the hilt. Kagome cried out, but he held perfectly still above her, whispering soothing words and stroking her hair. When the pain finally ebbed, she focused on his voice telling her how much he loved her and apologizing for having to hurt her. What he said didn't matter, only that he was here and he was waiting on her. Hesitantly, she opened her eyes, proud of herself that she didn't cry.

"Kagome?"

"I'm fine now, Sesshou. Arigato."

Sesshoumaru kissed her gently and pulled out of her. Slowly he pushed back in, drawing a moan from both of them. Kagome wrapped her legs around his waist as he continued his agonizing pace. Every thrust fanned the fire slowly building in the pit of her stomach. If he would only go deeper, she thought as she lifted her hips to meet his thrust. He groaned when she began using her hips and cupped her bottom to adjust the angle. Kami, she was so tight and wet that she felt like she'd been made for him alone.

"Faster, Sesshou, harder!"

He smirked and happily complied with her demands. Soon they were both nearing their peaks and Sesshou was nearly pounding into her. But Kagome loved it and couldn't get enough.

"Don't hold back, Sesshou."

With that last comprehensible command, the taiyoukai let himself go and made love to her like his life depended on it. When they finally felt their peak in sight, both opened their eyes to stare deeply at each other. With one last thrust, Kagome's walls began to vibrate and Sesshoumaru spilled himself within her with a force that threatened to consume him. Kagome cried out and pulled him deeper inside her with her legs while she milked him dry. He gave a last spurt and collapsed on the bed beside her.

Kagome eased off of him and then snuggled into his side. "…"

Sesshoumaru cracked one eye, barely, and looked at her. "Indeed. Words seem dismally lacking at the moment."

She giggled tiredly. "You know I have to continue to gather the shards, don't you?"

"Hai, but let's talk about that tomorrow."

"Okay. I love you, Sesshou."

His tail wrapped around her, drawing her closer as he nuzzled her hair. "As I you, my Kagome. I am glad that you didn't decide to wait."

"Me too. Were you're other times like that?"

Sesshoumaru turned to look her full in the face. "What are you talking about?"

"You're other times in bed. Is it always like that?"

"I wouldn't know. Mating is a sacred thing to youkai, Kagome. We only have casual sex with our mates. Rarely will you find a youkai rutting while unmated."

Kagome cringed, "Don't call it rutting, that sounds so vulgar." Her face brightened, though. "So we lost our virginity together?"

"Mochiron. It is a gift reserved for one's mate and only one's mate."

She threw her arms around him and gave him a wildly happy kiss. He was stunned, but recovered and kissed her back before she pulled away, blushing.

"Do not humans view sex the same way?"

"Some do, some don't. In my time, sex is mostly seen as a thing to find pleasure in, not as a gift to your spouse. I think it's sad."

Sesshoumaru nodded and simply held her as she settled in beside him. As she drifted off, he caught sight of something on her finger. Curious, he pulled her hand up and felt his eyes widen at what he saw. She still wore his ring. Somehow, he'd managed to convince himself that the ring he'd been wearing was simply a physical manifestation of his power. He was overjoyed to find that she really did give it to him. His fang ring was proof enough of that. He nuzzled her neck, taking in her wonderful scent that now had traces of him and their recent activities.

"Wo ai ni, my Kagome," he whispered as he followed her to sleep.
