Part 2: Denial vs Desire

Light filtered through the canopy above, its harsh light streaming against the sensitive eyeslids of the sleeping hanyou.

He shifted his weight uncomfortably against pretruding roots of the god tree. His bare skin scraping off the coarse edges of its bark...

Golden eyes flickered open squinting slightly in the harsh light. 'The god tree ...how did I get here...?'

His eyes snapped open. 'Better yet, why am I naked...?'

He struggled to remember the events of the night before, but found himself drawing blanks...

His ears pricked at the sudden russle of movement, his skin tingling as he felt a shifting of another being beside him.

Everything began to seep into his senses. His nostrals filled with the scent of his musk mingled with the stench of gravesoil and bone - the scent of a long ago love; the scent of Kikyo..

'Dear god...what have I done...? This is irrevesable; this isn't something I can change! I fucked Kikyo, but I don't remember going to her! All I remember, is that I fell asleep outside of Kaede's, and now I find myself out here - very naked- with Kikyo...What am I going to do...?!?'

Sessho-maru gazed down at his human lover. 'Never would I, Sessho-maru, have thought that I would desire to take a human as my mate. If one so dared insinuate such an idea, I would have laughed before I slit their throats...'

He watched her stir with the barest hint of a smile tugging at his lips.

Kagome could feel the warmth, of another body pressed up against her, as she brought herself out from a groggy state of sleep.

'Oh god...I slept with Sessho-maru...what was I thinking...! I had been so angry with Inu-Yasha...I made such a huge mistake...' she groaned inwardly at this.

He felt her draw away, pushing out of his embrace as though his very touch made her skin crawl.

"This was a mistake," she groaned as she stumbled to the other side of the hotsprings to retrieve her clothes.

He heard her shakey whisper . "This never happened..."

He gave a frustrated snarl, "You may think you can just forget what has transpired, but I will not let you forget...! You are mine, wench. Now and forever..!"

Kagome winced as she felt a vice like grip take hold of her forearm, and pull her into a cage of flesh. Her mind tortured her as she tried to struggle free. 'Don't fight it - what have you really got to go back to?! A man who sees the image of another when he looks at you...that lusts for another when he is near you...'

This thought took a bit of wind out of her sails, she lessened her struggle - she knew she would not win...

Sessho-maru felt her body become slake in his arms as she had given up. He loosened his grip slightly, but not some much that she could easily break free.

"Mine.." he breathed as he brushed her ebony lockes away from the gentle curve of her neck. He pressed his lips against the heated pulse, nipping and licking to feel the throb, of her blood, quicken.

'By the time I'm done with you, there shall not be an inch that I shall not know; not an inch that shall not burn and ache for my touch...'

He let his claws wander, allowing him to trace and memorize each delicate curve of flesh that met his questing hands. The slight tremors, from his lover, only intensified his need to touch; to caress; to leave no inch of this vast terrain of flesh unknown...

He brought his claws to her navel, tracing lazy circles around it before dippening them lower to explore her soft nest of curls.

Kagome groaned helplessly as his heated search began to leave her raw with sensation. Her body, all too willingly, surrendered to his delicious assault.

Her breath caught as his lips left her throat to nip a gentle path to the curve of her jaw, his free hand coming up to tilt her head towards his, so that he could claim her lips in a fierce kiss.

Releasing her lips, he turned her body so that she was facing him.

There was a rosy hue to her fair skin with a slight shine of moisture appearing upon its surface - her scent indicating that she was ready for him. 'That didn't take much ...' he smirked at this before leading her to lye atop his discarded haori.

Sessho-maru parted her thighs roughly, positioning himself above her entrance. He rubbed his arousal along her swollen opening, creating a delicious friction that forced shivers down his spine, but he would not give into his primal urge to rut fiercefully with the beautiful, writhing creature beneath him. 'I may have been slightly hasty in my need to claim her. If she is the loyal soul, that I presume her to be, she will return to me willing...she is not the type to let a man bed her and just leave it be. Her obligation, to this little affair, should bring her back and perhaps eventually cause her to give into all that was set into motion... I will bide my time and let her think about what I offer...and what she shall miss...'

He smirked wickedly as he pulled away from her warmth, her small whimpers of protest falling upon deaf ears.

Her glazed eyes stared at him in confusion - he had stopped...'Why?'

"I was rash in my behavior eariler..." Sessho-maru stated smoothly before continuing with his carefully thought out speech. "I shall leave you to decide upon your fate...to determine where things stand at this point. I'll be back in a weeks time - do what you must. If you decide to refuse me and forgive my mongrul brother, I shall not mention that this night transpired, but if you should decide to stay my side, there will be many nights such as this to come...of course, they won't end on such an unfilling note..."

With that said, he was dressed in a blink of an eye, leaving a dazed and obviously frustrated Kagome. 'I have had many nights such as this, what's one more...?' he thought smuggly. 'She will come to understand the longing; the consuming need that tears you apart...she come with me willing...'

~*~

Kagome stared at the discarded inner haori before clutching it to her bare form. His scent lingered on the delicate fabric - a musky, masculine scent that reminded her too clearly of all that had just come to pass. She could still feel his powerful presence yet she knew he was long gone.

She let out a ragged sigh. She could feel the waning of her need for fullfilment.

'He didn't finish what he had started...' she thought unhappily.

'God...what are you thinking girl?!? This could be the only opportunity you have to be rid of this whole mess...' she heard her mental voice scolding as she turned to wash herself off in the hotspring.

Yet her mind wouldn't let her be and nagged, 'but do you really want to be through with this...'

A cold shock of reality hit her like frigid water. 'Oh, god...I'm so stupid...allowing him to fuck me, no thought of the consequences of being so-so-so...argh!So reckless!!! What if I'm...pregnant? What will I do...? Inu-Yasha...he...'

'Why am I thinking about how he will react?!? He's already made his decision of who he would rather be with!!! Stupid, undead whore...!'

She released a pentup groan - was she really any better than Kikyo, letting her anger guide her actions...?

She would return home as planned before the whole mess had ensued. Whatever had possessed her to go to the hotsprings instead of going straight home, she would never know...

She would return in a few days to confront Inu-Yasha, and perhaps end both disasterous relationships before either could progress...or maybe she wouldn't return...it might be better for all...

To be continued...
