[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
A/N: Oka, so I know that it's been forever (a year) since I updated this. Good news is, this is the absolute last chapter of this fic. It's done now. Complete. Finished. I already know that I'm going to get a lot of angry reviews about the ending, but please, keep in mind that this is a prequel to my other fic, "The Job". Oh, and I don't want to hear anyone complaining about this being a Sess/Kag fic, cause all you have to do is look at the other fics that I've wrote to realize, almost all I write is Sess/Kag fics.
Last Time (since it's been so long) ...Kagome turned around in Sesshoumaru's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. She nuzzled her face into his chest, inhaling his scent deeply. "And what did you have in mind, with no children around?" Kagome asked into his chest.
Sesshoumaru placed his hand on her chin and lifted her face away from his body so that he could kiss her again. His tongue pressed at the seem of her lips and slipped passed them when she opened her mouth. Their tongues rubbed sensuously together while his hands roamed her body before she pulled away.
"So, that's what you had in mind," Kagome said with a small, mischievous smile, a glint in her eye. Her smile spread at his nod.
And Now, On with the story ...
Kagome slid her arms behind Sesshoumaru's back, tangling her fingers in his hair. She felt his slender fingers grip her chin and tilt her face up to meet his, her eyes opening long enough to see his face lowering towards her before her lids closed again in anticipation of the kiss. She felt his soft lips graze her mouth, before glancing across her cheek, until his nose ended up buried in her hair behind her ear.
Sesshoumaru gently nipped the skin behind her ear before placing a kiss there. Trailing his hands down to Kagome's hips, he maneuvered her until she straddled his lap, bringing her close enough to kiss. His lips moved over hers, his tongue seeking entrance to her mouth. While his mouth was busy, his hands trailed down her body until they came to the ties on the front of her shirt and his fingers quickly untied the knot. He yanked the front of her shirt open, revealing more flesh to his hands, which he let fully roam her soft flesh.
Breaking the kiss, Sesshoumaru growled as Kagome's hand explored his lower stomach. "I want you," he growled out.
Kagome smiled up at the youkai. "Oh, good. I would hate to think that all those hard-ons you got sleeping next to me this past week were really for Shippo or Rin," she said, a sly smile curling her lips.
Sesshoumaru growled darkly as he grabbed her behind the knees and pulled her to rest fully on his hardened length. "You jest with me woman. You, and you alone, do this to me," he told her, gyrating his hips upwards to emphasize his point.
"Glad to hear that," Kagome said before raising up to capture his lips with her own. "Now, get out of these clothes," she said, pulling back and tugging on Sesshoumaru's shirt.
Sesshoumaru smiled at the woman in his lap before his hands went to the ties on the front of his own shirt and quickly rid himself of the garment. His hands went up to the material binding her breasts and quickly divested her of the cloth. He noticed her deep intake of breath as his hands cupped her breasts, his claws lightly brushing over the sensitive skin.
Kagome moaned and arched into his hands, her hands coming up to hold his hands over her flesh. "I want more," she demanded, gyrating her hips, rubbing his hardness through their remaining clothes. Which she noticed with annoyance, was really a lot. All they had taken off was their shirts. Both were still fully clothed from the waist down. Letting out a rather impressive growl, by her standards, Kagome stood up and started to remove the bottom of the miko robes she had taken to wearing, and soon stood before Sesshoumaru naked. She sat herself back down across Sesshoumaru's knees and began working at the complicated ties that held his pants closed.
Sesshoumaru gave Kagome a wry smile, though all her attention was focused on the ties. "I'm sorry, was I not moving fast enough for you?" he asked, a small smile quirking the corners of his lips up. He took her hands in his and brought them up to his mouth, placing a gentle kiss on her fingers. He wrapped his arms around her back and slanted his lips against hers, distracting her while he tipped her back to lay on her sleeping bag, which she still insisted on using, even though there were perfectly good futons for use. Sesshoumaru laid her out flat on her back and stretched himself out above her, never once breaking contact with her mouth.
Kagome wrapped an arm and leg around Sesshoumaru's body, but pulled away from him when she still felt fabric covering his lower half. "No fair," Kagome pouted, tugging on his pants. "I want to feel your flesh against mine." She wrapped her arms around his torso, pressing herself against him as much as possible, wanting the comfort of human contact, even if her chosen person of contact wasn't so human.
Sesshoumaru smiled down at her. "Just be patient. Patience is a virtue," he told her, stroking her cheek. He kissed down the side of her neck, took a few minutes to nibble on her collar bone, then continued on down to her breasts. He lavished attention on first the right breast and then the left, avoiding the nipple, before taking the nipple into his mouth, enjoying every little moan and sigh that came out of Kagome's throat. Sesshoumaru teased the tip of her nipple with his tongue, then drew long and hard on her flesh, earning him a moan from Kagome, her body raising up to meet his mouth. Sesshoumaru switched back to her other breast, giving it the same amount of attention, extracting even more delicious sounds from the woman below him. When he finally relented, Kagome was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling rapidly.
"Oh, god, that's nice," Kagome panted. "But I still want your pants off," she added with a grin. She slid her hand down his back to rest at the place where his ass met his back. She hooked her leg over his and worked up enough leverage to flip them over, putting Sesshoumaru on the bottom. Kagome propped herself up on her elbows braced against his chest and smiled down on him. "Ever hear about a simple little thing called turnabout, and how it is perfectly fair play?" she asked playfully. Before he could answer, Kagome lowered herself back down to rest on his chest and ran her lips along his collar bone, grazing her teeth along the bone as she went.
Kagome could feel his hard member pressing up against her stomach through his pants as she worked her way around the muscles on Sesshoumaru's chest, avoiding his nipples much the same way he had done to her. He was wriggling around beneath her, squirming , trying to get her mouth where he wanted it on his body, but Kagome wouldn't let him, always following his body so that her mouth stayed in the same spot. Finally, after a few minutes of teasing, Kagome latched onto his right nipple and sucked his flesh into her mouth, eliciting a moan from the demon below her. She continued her work for a couple more minutes, switching between his nipples. She propped herself back up on her elbows, a smile on her face as she looked down at Sesshoumaru.
"Still sure you want to keep your pants on?" Kagome asked, smiling.
Sesshoumaru growled and flipped them back over. His hand reached down between them and quickly released the ties on his pants and kicked them out of the way. He captured her lips, his canine teeth lightly grazing against the flesh of her lower lip.
Kagome looked down and her eyes opened wide in shock. There, sheathing Sesshoumaru's manhood, was a condom. She was in shock. Her mouth opened and closed a few times. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what.
Sesshoumaru let a small smile split his lips as he looked down at his shocked mate. "The monk, Miroku, explained their true use to me, and I understand that according to your upbringing, you are considered still quite young. Almost too young to have children," he said, an understanding look on his face. He placed a chaste kiss on her lips, then pulled back to look at her again. "Does this please you?"
Kagome nodded. "Yes, it's quite considerate of you," she told him, a smile softening her face. She reached up and kissed him, her hands curling up his back to rest on his shoulders. It made her feelings for him that much deeper. She wasn't sure that it would be accurate to call it love, but the beginning of it was definitely there. "Thank you," she whispered against his lips. Kagome pushed her head up more so that her mouth was next to his ear and whispered, "please."
Sesshoumaru pressed his nose into Kagome's hair, inhaling her scent deeply into his lungs, and nodded, his cheek rubbing against hers. He settled his pelvis between her thighs, his manhood resting between her womanly folds. He felt Kagome's arm reach down between them and positioned his tip at her entrance, her other hand moving down to his hips to apply a gentle pressure, urging his hips forward and his manhood into her depths a fraction of an inch. Sesshoumaru could feel that she did not have a hymen, but figured that it had something to do with the manner in which she rode her metal contraption. Sesshoumaru pulled his head back so that he could watch her face for any signs of discomfort as he pushed further into her warm depths.
Kagome bit her lower lip as Sesshoumaru moved inside her. He felt exquisite. His flesh was pistoning in her body, rubbing against all the right spots within her body. She felt his hands roaming over her body, tweaking all the right fleshy mounds. Her body moved to meet his thrusts, increasing the sensations rippling through her body.
Sesshoumaru groaned as he moved within Kagome, her body squeezing his flesh just right. He captured her lips in a searing kiss the stole both their breath. They moved together, their bodies touching everywhere they could. After a few minutes, Sesshoumaru propped himself up on his arms, changing the angle with which he penetrated her. He could feel her inner muscles tightening around his length as her body tensed in orgasm, Kaogme's moans filling the air of their hut. He brought her to climax a few more times before he could no longer hold back his own release. After he finished, he lowered himself to rest atop Kagome, his body slightly to the side so as to not compress her chest too much. After a few minutes, Sesshoumaru moved to lay on his back and pulled Kagome to snuggle against his side.
Kagome wrapped her arm around Sesshoumaru's chest, using his shoulder as a pillow, and relaxed. "I love you," Kagome said while staring off into space. She meant it, too. Her infatuation with Inuyasha had been just that, an infatuation. He had been cute and paid attention to her, even if that attention was a result of her being similar in looks. It had been nothing more than a high school crush. She knew that now. Even when he asked her to be his mate, it had been out of a hope to regain something he had lost. But Sesshoumaru had taken an interest in her from almost the first time he had seen her. Or, at least that's what he told her. They'd had many deep conversations, when they could get away from Inuyasha's watchful eyes. Whenever they tried to talk around Inuyasha, he had spouted non-stop conspiracy theories about Sesshoumaru. But they still found time to talk alone. And because of that, feelings developed.
Sesshoumaru wrapped his arm around Kagome's shoulders and held her tightly. "Would you take my mark, truly become my mate?" he asked, his hand tracing a mark on her shoulder. "I would understand if you wouldn't want to, because it will cause you pain, but I would be honored if you."
Kagome propped herself up on an arm and beamed down at Sesshoumaru. "Of course I will take your mark."
"It'll hurt."
"I don't care. And you said that before."
"Are you sure? This isn't something that can be taken back if you change your mind later."
"Geez, you sound like an unsure, small child, who isn't sure if he's going to get into trouble or not. I said yes, and I mean yes."
"This Sesshoumaru does not sound like a child of any sort."
Kagome smiled. "So, what kind of mark are we talking about here?"
"The easiest would be a simple bite mark on your shoulder, here," he said, putting preasure on the spot where neck became shoulder. "It would not require any elaborate design to be cut or burned into your flesh, but will still show that you are taken," he explained.
Kagome nodded, sat up, and turned her back to Sesshoumaru while pulling her hair over one shoulder, completely baring the other to his gaze.
Sesshoumaru sat up, his hand going to her bared shoulder, wonder in his eyes. She would face pain with such bravery. That was something that had drawn him to her. He knew she didn't want to experience pain, but it was something that needed to be done, so she faced it bravely. He moved so that he sat directly behind her and picked her up to sit in his lap. Placing a kiss upon the skin that he planned to mark, he smoothed over the skin with his lips. He drew his lips back from his teeth and set them against her flesh.
Not wanting to cause her only pain, Sesshoumaru moved a hand to tease one of her nipples for a few minutes, until she was squirming on his lap, small moans slipping from her lips. He trailed his hand from her breast to the apex of her thighs, his fingers delving between her moist folds, to tease her to even greater heights of pleasure. Soon, Kagome is cumming on his deft fingers, and that is when Sesshoumaru plunged his teeth into her flesh.
~*~
Over the next month, Sesshoumaru renewed the bite on Kagome several times, making sure that it would scar properly, marking her as his for the rest of their lives. Sesshoumaru also trained Kagome in martial arts so that she could protect herself better. Miroku and Sango even joined in the training. Inuyasha would even join in sometimes. As a group, they brought prosperity and peace to their village, and were very much a family.
~*~
A few weeks later, Kagome was walking along a path in the forest, thinking about what she should do with the completed Shikon no Tama. She was its protector, after all. It was her duty. She knew Inuyasha wanted the jewel so that he could turn into a full youkai instead of remaining a hanyou. That had been his desire since she first met him.
Kagome soon found herself in the clearing that contained the Bone Eater's Well. She sat down on a boulder and considered what she could do with the Shikon no Tama. Suddenly an orange furry ball landed in her lap and hugged her tightly around the waist.
"Okaa-san, you aren't going to leave me, are you?" cried Shippo.
"No, I would never leave you. They would have to drag me away kicking and screaming," Kagome reassured her pup, holding him to her. "Don't worry about it. Could you go check and see when lunch will be ready, please?" she asked, messing up his hair a little.
Shippo nodded. "Hai," he said and hopped off her lap, running towards the village and Kaeda's hut.
Kagome leaned back and continued her contemplation of the future of the Shikon no Tama, until she sensed a youkai nearby. She recognized the power, so she didn't worry too much. She had also advanced greatly with her miko abilities and could take care of herself, much to the chagrin of one inu hanyou. Kagome also didn't have to worry because Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru had made a truce, and since then, Sesshoumaru had stayed rather close by. Kagome looked up and smiled when the youkai she had sensed entered the clearing, his silver hair and golden eyes shimmering in the sunlight. Hopping off the rock, she ran to meet him and was embraced by his strong arms.
"How long have you been waiting?" he asked, his voice hushed, but she could hear the concern in it.
"Not long," she reassured him. Kagome looked up to him with bright eyes, but her smile faded when she got a good look at his face. He looked sad. "What's the matter?" she asked, raising a hand to brush along his cheek.
He sighed, but quickly covered it up. "You must return to your time. You can not return here. Leave and never come back," he said pushing her away from himself and into the well. Once he was certain that she was on the other side, he destroyed the well, making it impossible for her to come back.
What she didn't realize until later that day, was that he had taken the completed Shikon no Tama from around her neck. She cried herself to sleep that night and for several months afterwards. Kagome tried to bury her past in the past, along with her broken heart, from then on. Little did she know that fate had other plans in mind for her.
Last Time (since it's been so long) ...Kagome turned around in Sesshoumaru's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. She nuzzled her face into his chest, inhaling his scent deeply. "And what did you have in mind, with no children around?" Kagome asked into his chest.
