InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Dark Forest Embrace ❯ Easing the pain ( Chapter 3 )

Dark forest embrace

 

The darkness of the cave had given him what he wanted, peace. Yet he wasn't satisfied. How could he be? His brother was dead? The emptiness he felt was only amplified by the almost impenetrable darkness. He didn't even bother to turn into his animalistic form. Why try? He wanted this, the empty darkness, the loneliness he now felt. It was all he wanted now.

 

So lost in his thoughts he didn't hear Kagura enter the cave until her arms snaked around her chest. He thought he should be annoyed, her embracing him like this after today, but then he caught the scent of her tears, heard her soft sobs… he understood. In a way, Inuyasha was her brother too. After that day three years ago, when she came fluttering down on injured wings….He needed to be near her now.

 

“Why don't you and Kagura mate?” His brother had once asked him. It was the first time his brother had ever startled him. He could remember it so perfectly now. Inuyasha sitting by the river bank in his humanoid form, ears twitching every now and then, his tail swishing behind him, his silver hair twisting in the wind. Sesshoumaru could see him carving designs into a dear's thighbone. He had used it at a walking stick before he decided to remain a dog. What was his excuse again? That the alpha male wouldn't allow it? “It shouldn't matter…you two love each other right?” Love…that's how Inuyasha had described their relationship, but was it really? How often had he wanted for her, just during these times in winter, or were there other times? How often had he looked up in the trees to see he, perched exactly where he thought her to be? Yes…he held such affection for her, but was it love? His father had felt love for his mother before, but then loved another woman. Was love truly so undecided. Could you love someone and then love another? No, he could never feel this for anyone but Kagura. Other females have gone into heat and he never so much as sniffed them.

 

Kagura could shift into any of the birds, she was not linked to a breed or species like the others were… the wind the sky, she adored it. His thoughts became incoherent musings, never staying on a single topic long before moving to the next, often unlinked memory that washed by him.

 

He could feel the heat emanating from Kagura's skin. She was tall, yet his large frame towered over her. Up close she could feel his power, the intensity of his emotions. His gaze drifted over her with stark possessiveness. His eyes burned a molten gold, so intense. So hungry. His hand moved down her shoulders to rest on her slender waist. His touch was possessive his body was hard and hot, the scent of him filling her mind. When she inhaled she took him into her lungs so that he rushed through her body like a strong drug.

 

Her fingers moved to the neckline of his fur outfit, absently tracing the sewn pattern beneath the soft brown fur. Like Inuyasha he wore a fur cape around his shoulders. His body crowded closer to hers, not touching, simply so close his heat and masculine scent enfolded her, surrounded her, swamped her. It called to her like nothing else could have. His fingers tangled his hers, bringer her hand up and pressing them against the hard muscles of his chest, she could feel his heartbeat racing beneath her fingers. Kagura lifted her head from the warmth and temptation of Sesshoumaru's chest. Her enormous eyes were soft with sadness. Her hand, positioned over his heart, trembled. Sesshoumaru's golden eyes drifted possessively over her upturned face, his burning hunger, so intense, so blatant, took away her breath. His hand reached up and undid the clasp holding her hair up so securely in a bun, his fingers moved though the silken mass of hair, rubbing the strands against his thumb.

 

The sensation was beyond her wildest fantasy. So hot. Reaching into her insides and simply melting everything. Her arms seamed to have a mind of their own, sliding around his neck. For a moment she closed her eyes, savoring the heat of his body and the coolness of the cave. Inside her body, Kagura felt a volcano of molten heat erupt. It raced though her, thick and heavy and hot and aching. She wanted him, and he needed her. Sesshoumaru fastened his mouth to hers, the beast within, ever present, fought for supremacy. His hand spanned her throat, holding her to him as if she were a part of him, as if she was the most precious thing in the world and he couldn't be without her. His other hand skimmed her waist then stopped there, hot and urgent. Kagura was so aware of it, aware of how close it was to her most intimate parts. She ached for him. Wanted him. She was beyond thinking, she wanted his hand to move, either direction, it didn't matter. His mouth was hot and hard, yet velvet soft, demanding her complete surrender…
