They were on the road.
They got dressed early in the morning and headed out of the house the moment it was 6:00 am. Her mother and Mr. Taisho would be the only one’s awake to see their children off and have a good time for the weekend. Reiko was pleased to see that her daughter would be wearing that long, floral printed summer dress she bought for her and before Kagome left the house, she’d be given one big hug from her mother and Kagome hugged her back with a small smile placed upon her lips.
After Kagome reassured her mother that she would be fine, she would now take her leave from the home along with Sesshoumaru as they chose to take his car for this mini ‘vacation’ of theirs.
Kagome felt bad lying to her mother but she had no choice in the matter. This was all so that she could get this damn drug out of her system.
The two got settled in the car and the trip would begin as Sesshoumaru pulled off and onto the road.
Golden hues gazed at the digital clock upon dashboard of his car and took note of the time. It was now 6:47 am. It had been just a quarter of an hour and already, Kagome would be in a light sleep within passenger seat, clutched onto a soft pillow. Her breathing was quiet as the male observed her through corner of eyes but gaze would return back to the road as he drove on that highway.
They were on their way to the demon slayer organization, a place no youkai in their right mind would dare to head to, should they not be sane. It was located quite far in the mountains where civilization was scarce as many facilities would be needed in the vast open space.
Sesshoumaru’s driving was absolutely perfect, having kept at a speed that would not disturb Kagome’s slumber as she would need all the rest she could get.
Ever since that episode yesterday, he had been slightly concerned for Kagome’s health. She was able to walk for the remainder of the day but she had been so upset about it that she remained in her room after that and had not bothered coming out. Sesshoumaru was there to bring her dinner in which she was grateful for but he could tell that this whole drug business was bothering her mentally.
Once Kagome had fell asleep, he decided to look up more about the long-term effects of drug abuse and what he saw was less than pleasant. Damaged nerve endings were one of them and he had not expected for her to come across the effect so soon. It had been about a week and some days since she was administered that drug at the night of the gala and while she looked fine on the outside, he had suspicions that internally, she may not be doing so well.
The man’s foot on the gas was pressed further as he ventured into those thoughts, increasing his speed just a tad while on that highway.
He wasn’t going to lose her to this damn drug. That Naraku…. Sesshoumaru was so certain it was him behind all this. He will have his head.
“Sesshoumaru… I’m sorry…”
The soft voice roused the male out from his thoughts that came from the woman who slept within his car. Another quick glance was given to her and for once, the crack in his mask would be seen as facial features softened when he took a look at Kagome’s face.
Hopefully that hermit would provide them with answers and good results.
It was a miracle Sesshoumaru hadn’t gone numb to driving for so long as he sat in that position for about another hour and a half. Perhaps he had got accustomed to something so trivial. If humans can do it, so can youkai, no?
The heartbeat of that woman would pick up as he sensed her waking up. And so she did, those eyes fluttering open as she lazily moved to sit upright to rub her sleepy eyes and gaze out to the first thing that moved-the scenery. Hooded blues gazed out the window to her left and saw the world move so fast but the passing trees and mountainous region calmed her somewhat. Were they currently heading up a mountain?
Eyes blinked a couple times as she woke up fully from her light slumber, a hand rising to cover her mouth when she yawned lightly. Were they almost there? In the distance, she could see some tall, white buildings upon a small hill, followed by glass windows, a large satellite disc and some electric wired tower.
Head slowly tilted to her right and saw that it was 8:20 am and even further to her right was Sesshoumaru, currently driving on that nearly vacant road.
“Are we almost there?” Kagome question rang in the small space within the car and she saw his head move to nod at her question. Such a long drive. At least they made it in one piece.
That large building in the distance came into a closer view when Sesshoumaru pulled up close and to Kagome, it actually looked like a laboratory. Was this really the demon slayer organization? Indeed it was as the very large sign they drove under revealed itself to be, however, this location would be where weapons, tools, charms, spells would be practiced, finding higher levels of them to be used against powerful youkai or corrupted humans in today’s society.
Soon Sesshoumaru had parked in the very crowded parking lot and once the car was shut off, the two would be getting out of the car. Kagome didn’t trust her legs this time so when she managed to plant her feet down upon the freshly paved asphalt of the parking lot, she slowly moved to stand.
Nostrils flared and her gaze went down to her legs to make sure she was fine. She still used the car for support as she took one step and once everything looked to be fine, she began to walk. Lips parted and gave a light sigh, closing the passenger’s door behind her. Kagome’s hand smoothed out the creases within her soft white short sleeved dress she wore and began to pace her way towards Sesshoumaru who was waiting for her.
His gaze dropped down to her legs briefly but eyes returned to her face when she reached out to grasp his hand, “I’m fine, nii-sama, really.” She squeezed his hand and offered a small smile to the youkai. His face remained expressionless as he nodded his head in conformation upon hearing her speak and so, he would lead her into the main entrance of the building before them, hand in hand. If holding her hand calmed her then so be it.
Upon entering the cool aired facility, Kagome saw many of the personnel looking to be busy and at work. While the outside guised as a laboratory, the inside was completely opposite. Typical office area and lounge with a large welcoming desk placed at their immediate right.
When those two entered into the building, the elderly woman behind the desk took a look up at the guests that arrived and she pushed up her overly large glasses further up the bridge of her nose to gaze at the pair. Pale green eyes gazed at the two with a small smile and slight bob of the head in greet but those eyes widened as the receptionist got a good look at Sesshoumaru. That was the eldest son of the Inu youkai clan, was it not?!
“S-ss-sesshoumaru-sama…! Oh! You’re here!”
Quickly that lady picked up the phone and dialed for the one they were here to see. A few words would be exchanged, followed by ‘yes sir’ and ‘no sir’ and soon she hanged up, attentions on the pair once more.
“Yakuroudokusen has been expecting you. Come.”
That lady pushed herself off of her seat and it she was far shorter than what Kagome expected. She was a mere three feet tall. Like a munchkin.
Kagome giggled at the thought.
Only the sounds of those heels clacking against the polished floors of the hallway would be heard as that receptionist led the pair to Yakurou’s office. Kagome had been expecting an executive looking office and got just that when they now stood before two fairly large double doors after turning down that hallway. Two soft knocks upon the door given by the elderly woman and then Kagome heard a voice, “Come in.”
That one sounded just as old as the receptionist lady…
That woman opened the doors to the office and Kagome saw the back of one large chair before a fancy office desk and then a boney looking hand giving a wave, “Thank you, Suzumiya. You may be dismissed.”
The elderly woman would bow her head after ushering the two into Yakurou’s office and closed both of the doors behind her, the sound nearly had Kagome jumping at the spot.
Sesshoumaru’s eyes now remained upon the chair with lids narrowing. Yakurou could feel the powerful gaze from Sesshoumaru even if he wasn’t looking at him and so he would turn around within chair the lay those elderly eyes on the eldest son of the Inu household.
“Ah, Sesshoumaru-sama. It has been a few centuries, has it not?”
Sesshoumaru’s face remained the same, cold and expressionless and looked to show no care for pleasantries at the moment. “You do know why I am here, correct?” Time was of the essence and Sesshoumaru wished not to waste it.
Yakurou frowned a tad as the younger youkai male did not wish to indulge a bit of their past so he would not press the matter further. The chair groaned in protest when Yakurou turned once more to slide out of his seat and plant his feet onto the ground, slowly pacing his way around the desk to get a good look at both Sesshoumaru and the one who he claimed to have some sort of drug affliction.
Kagome remained silent the entire time they arrived, simply observing and listening to the words being exchanged. She’d watch this hermit make his way over to them both, eyeing his attire. He looked that of a hermit alright. Pure white haori and hakama with a black kosode worn over. He was hunched over with one hand folded behind his back while the other would be gathering much of his beard and stroked it as he’d set his eyes upon Kagome.
Yakurou tilted his head this way and that while Kagome tried to not look so nervous as he would make his ‘analysis’. His eyes dropped down to her hand and seen she was holding hands with Sesshoumaru and this was peculiar. So peculiar that Yakurou began to fidget with his beard even more by gathering the hairs and letting his fingers graze through them.
“And this is your mate?”
Kagome immediately blushed when Yakurou said those words as she knew what that meant. Yakurou caught the girl’s reaction and that had him smirking but Sesshoumaru would be quick to correct the hermit, “No. She is my imouto.”
Yakurou’s eyes widened when hearing this but there was something he just remembered.
“Ah! Yes, the Higurashi girl… You.”
His hands folded behind his back and Kagome answered the hermit with a nod of her head even as the blush remained there upon her cheeks. Yakurou smiled.
“You are indeed pretty as they say, my dear.”
Sesshoumaru’s immediate response would be a growl, glaring at the hermit. Kagome couldn’t help but to smile at hearing that as well as the growl Sesshoumaru gave him right after. “Thank you, Yakurou-san.”
The hermit grinned as he’d ignore Sesshoumaru who was still glaring daggers at him. “Now, Sesshoumaru had told me previously that you have been administered some sort of drug in your system that has been quite difficult to detect by normal means. Can you tell me what exactly happens when this drug is in effect? Tell me every detail, even if something is minor or not to you. This will make the process in finding out what it is easier and make some sort of nullifier.”
Kagome listened to the hermit as he spoke and could hear the many, many years of expertise he had with him when those words were heard. When he asked to know of what was happening to her during the drug, she blushed like mad again and those hands went to her face to rub her temples.
“I-it is… quite a lot.”
Yakurou stepped off to the side and offered her the vacant cushioned seat to sit in while he returned to his main chair, also offering the other one beside Kagome for Sesshoumaru to sit in. Once both of them were seated, Kagome took in one huge breath and started off right when she came to in the hospital from the accident at the gala.
It was quite difficult to tell a complete and utter stranger about what was happening to her body whenever she saw Sesshoumaru but she knew Yakurou was here to help and find her the cure she seeked for.
Kagome mentioned all the times her body would go against her initial acts, the increased appetite that rival a youkai’s own, physical strength she never had before and the times she had been intimate with Sesshoumaru.
Yakurou watched Kagome’s expressions flutter quite a lot whenever it came to the topic about Sesshoumaru, almost as if she was ashamed to have even bothered him with this mess. It wasn’t his fault, it was all hers and she never wished for this to happen.
Kagome was trying her hardest not to breakdown in front of the hermit and Sesshoumaru as this took quite a blow to her mental state ever since. She was so confused, so hurt and so pained. She did nothing to deserve this and only wished to return to how things were before all of this.
“Then yesterday, I thought I felt fine until my legs just gave out after I tried to stand.”
“And this happened after you fell to the effects of the drug, yes?”
Kagome nodded her head lightly with that blush returning to her cheeks. “Right after I woke up from that.” Yakurou nodded his head as he knew exactly what she was referring to.
“I see, I see. Now, from what you’ve told me Higurashi-san, this drug only seems to come into effect when Sesshoumaru is near… So even now, you are not under its effect?”
Slowly Kagome would turn her head to spare Sesshoumaru a quick glance who had been silent the entire time she spoke with the hermit, the expression upon his face was completely void of any emotion yet she could see the twinkle of curiosity that sparkled within his eyes. Was he also interested in what was injected inside her?
Amber and blue would meet for a fraction of a second and Kagome quickly averted her gaze to turn her attentions back to the hermit.
“N-no… I mean… If I stare too long, I know it’s going to happen again.” Her voice was quiet but the two youkai heard her clearly.
Yakurou nodded his head, “Aha. So, it is activated by the retinas, I’d assume.”
Kagome’s head tilted in question and wondered what he meant by that.
Yakurou saw this and again he’d push himself out of his chair, folding those hands behind his back as he walked around his desk, “In your body is some sort of powerful stimulant that is triggered when the retinas find their target. You say the something similar happened when you laid your eyes on Naraku, yes? There is a high chance he was the maker of this drug but as Sesshoumaru told me during our phone call, we will need evidence. If we have this evidence, we can find out if Naraku truly is the maker of this drug and why it did not work.”
He’d motion for them to follow him as he pushed open the doors to his office, “Come with me.”
The two would move to stand from their seats and follow the hermit off to another part of the building.
“Kagome, correct?”
Kagome walked up to the hermit when he mentioned her name and she nodded her head, “Yes, that is correct.”
“You say you are Midoriko’s ancestor. That may be the key to all of this as to why the drug did not function as it should. I do believe we may find something to override the stimulant. As such, I’ll have to have your consent on what we will do.”
Why did Kagome get a bad feeling about this all of a sudden?
Yakurou led the two into another large room that seemed to be half a lab and other the half was some kind of room? This room was completely empty, save for the small bed placed within the middle. There were no windows, no furniture… Just a single bed placed inside with dull, grey colored walls surrounding it in four corners
Wait just a second.
A miniature lab with high tech computers and gadgets all around placed next to a nearly empty room with no inhabitants inside, the only thing separating these two rooms was one large window that held thick glass and Kagome was fairly certain only one side could see the other while the other side could not.
Her eyes widened slowly when she realized this and then turned to Yakurou as he stood some feet before the pair with four people standing behind him. They bowed to them both, wearing simple lab coats, dressed in all white.
“These four here are my assistants. They will help me in my assessment. Now, as I mentioned before, Kagome, we will need your consent for what we are about to do. But first off, everything that will be done and said here today will be kept confidential as Sesshoumaru-sama has willed it and I also agree. Something like this shouldn’t be known to the public because even though humans and youkai are living amongst one another, there’s no telling what they will do once they have this information… Some may seek to capitalize on it and only tarnish what little connection we have between the two races.”
Yakurou stepped off to the side and began to turn on the three monitors over head by reaching for a few buttons upon the keyboard below and once those were on, he’d instruct his assistants to their stations to prepare for the second part of the analysis.
Kagome knew exactly what was going to happen.
Yakurou wanted to observe and record of her status when she became under the effects of the drug while in real time. That meant… both she and Sesshoumaru were going to be put on ‘display’ in that room on the other side of the window, right? Oh my god. Was she really about to have sex with Sesshoumaru in front of a hermit and four other strangers? The fuck was this, some kind of sick and twisted porno?
Kagome was highly against it.
She shook her head quickly, “Yakurou-san… I’ll give you my consent but this… seems far too much. To be frank, I do not wish to put on a show before you and your assistants.”
Yakurou turned from the monitor above to gaze at Kagome who voiced her concerns and knew she would have been troubled to know what was coming next. The choice of words she used did bring a grin to his lips however. “Hoh? But I’m just a feeble old youkai with a single request!”
Sesshoumaru stepped forwards and again he’d glare at the hermit, growling threateningly, “Enough of your lecherous talk, hermit. If she wishes to not condone in your sick fantasy then she will not. Offer us a better option that doesn’t have you as a voyeur.”
Seems like Sesshoumaru also agreed with Kagome in having to perform an act in front of the hermit. He refused to give satisfaction to a perverted old hermit. Not once had he changed for the last couple centuries he had known him for. A shame, really.
Yakurou frowned again when the eldest son intervened and gave a soft sigh with a shake of his head, “Fine, fine. Then we have option two,” he paused, motioning for one of his assistants to come over. Kagome wasn’t sure if they were human or youkai but they looked friendly enough. A bow of their head was given and Yakurou would head off to the other side of the room to gather some things.
“We’ll ‘observe’ you from here within this lab remotely.”
“Remotely how?” Kagome’s head tilting in question as her eyes watched the hermit.
“By taking blood readings.”
Yakurou returned to the girl as she looked to be quite confused which was to be expected. In his hands, he had all the tools he’d need to take her blood sample. “I will need a sample of your blood. Once we have that, I will have you drink this potion,” He paused, raising up a small vial filled with a dull green colored liquid that had Kagome eyeing it warily, “that will have you feeling a tad bit light headed but rest assured, it won’t harm you. I’ll also mix some of it with your blood sample and from there; I’ll be able to analyze what goes on with your body during the drug effects so long as you stay within a fifty meter radius.”
His assistant he called over would be handed the potion and before he would proceed, he looked towards Kagome once more, “The potion is nothing more than a way to know what goes on from the inside. It is harmless.”
Well, if he said so. She spared a quick glance to Sesshoumaru beside her but he was still giving the hermit one of those looks that definitely said there will be trouble should he try anything funny.
Kagome offered her arm to Yakurou’s assistant as they were ready to take her blood sample. The tourniquet was tied around her forearm and needle was inserted into the vein, drawing her blood into the syringe. After taking the required amount, the spot where blood was taken would be cleaned with antiseptic wipe, a band-aid placed over and now the pair would be led off to another room that wasn’t so far from the one they were in previous.
The assistant that led them held the door open for the pair and revealed the room they’ll be partaking in their ‘issue’. It was a small, dimly lit room that held a queen sized bed and there were no windows but furniture this time. Two dressers placed on either side of the bed beside headboard, one held a lamp and the other held a small plant placed in a flowery pot. It was not much but this was far better than what Kagome was about to do earlier.
“Please take as long as you like, Higurashi-san, Sesshoumaru-sama.”
Kagome blushed lightly upon hearing those words from the assistant and soon that door was closed behind them both, leaving the two in the room to ‘do their thing’.
Sesshoumaru spared a glance behind him briefly when door was closed but the movements from Kagome had his attentions on her. She was now currently searching that room, making sure it was private as he so claimed it to be. She peered beneath and above the dimly lit lamp then peeked in every small drawer upon the stand, repeating the same process at the other dresser. She wasn’t taking any chances with that lecherous hermit. Who knows if he had some sort of hidden camera to record them?!
She gazed up at every corner and saw no cameras, even going far as to place her hands on the walls, feeling for any hollowed out areas. All the while she did this, Sesshoumaru just watched her with highly amused eyes.
“Kagome.”
Kagome immediately stopped searching through the sheets when she heard her name being called and surprised blues gazed at the youkai who was still standing beside the door. That was the second time he had ever called her by her name. She didn’t mind this but for him to use it again instead of addressing her as something else… It took her by surprise.
“…Yes, nii-sama?”
A slow stride would be made towards the slightly stunned girl who stood beside the foot of the bed; her eyes still remained upon his face as he drew near. Again a hand would rise to cup her cheek and body inclined forwards a tad to lean closer, “If you do not wish to do this, I will not force you.” And he meant it too. She could tell from the powerful look he gave her. She found it hard to look away from those hues of his as she become so wrapped up in the moment.
These feelings that were starting to surface out from her being, she was so confused and lost on how to act upon them. Kagome knew Sesshoumaru was not the type to show such emotion and only wished she could be like him, an expert to hide feelings away and not show it upon her face.
But that was not her.
Sesshoumaru confused the hell out of her. Why was he showing this side of him that she didn’t think he’d have? Something she did not think it would be possible for a youkai like him to have. She wished he didn’t because this was why the feelings she had for her brother were starting to blossom.
Lips pinched together and her gaze averted, turning the other cheek. The loss of his hand slipped away when her head tilted away and he seen the frown now formed upon her lips.
“No, we have to do this. I mean, we are already here, aren’t we? Besides, you’ve helped me so much already. I can’t just turn this down just like that.”
“But you are still disturbed.”
He could sense it in her aura, even now and as of late but he never knew why. Was it something he had done? Kagome was trying to not let this bother her but couldn’t help it. She was human and emotions poured out of her like water. Keeping all this bottled up inside would do her no good. Lips parted and gave a sigh, stepping away from Sesshoumaru briefly to gather up that small vial she was suppose to drink. Cork was removed and she eyed the potion warily and even gave it a little sniff before deciding to drink it.
“I’ll be fine. Let’s just get this over with.”
And Kagome threw back that potion in one go, hitting it like a shot as if she was at the bar.
Brows raised in surprise as the liquid was fruity despite its funky color. But in seconds, she’d begin to wobble and immediately Sesshoumaru was near and eased her down onto the edge of the bed with him placed beside her. Kagome gave a displeased sound as she rubbed the side of her head, eyes squinting but rapidly blinked her eyes to regain her focus. Everything suddenly became dizzy, “I think it’s happening…”
Sesshoumaru wasn’t sure if she was referring to the drug or the potion she had just taken in. While he held onto her, her body was gradually becoming hotter. It wasn’t scorching hot like the many times before but this was still considered dangerous for humans. Kagome leaned over towards Sesshoumaru as a free hand ran through her locks, still feeling light headed as Yakurou said.
Sesshoumaru could see her struggling but even so, her heartbeat was steady and sensed that she was fine, save for the slight drowsiness she may be feeling.
Kagome slowly eased to sit upright and her eyes were closed. She felt like if she had them open, the vision would just be spinning so she kept them closed. Hands slowly trailed to her shoulders and Sesshoumaru watched as her thumbs would hook beneath the straps of the dress she wore and began to tug them off her shoulders and twist her torso so that her back was facing him, “Some help…”
She’d grab a handful of her hair to drape most of it over her left shoulder, exposing the back of her dress to him. There was a zipper he’d need to pull down so that she could slip out of her dress. She remained unmoving until he would comply with what she asked for. For what felt like forever for her, his hand was felt upon her back, grasping the small zipper and pulled it down slowly towards her waist, exposing the rest of her skin to his eyes.
Kagome felt her cheeks grow so hot when he had finished but still, nothing else came forth. Was she expecting something else? Possibly. Sesshoumaru was gazing down her back to view her unblemished skin that rivaled his own and was surprised to see how much had already healed up after all what he had done.
She would be rewarded with a tender light graze tracing down her spine which came from none other than those deadly claws her brother had at his fingertips. She nearly arched at the intimate touch and already her body was slowly beginning to crave for more. She could feel it coming, the stimulant kicking her body up to gear.
Soon Sesshoumaru’s hands would join on touching her, gently grasping her shoulders as he leaned in towards her right and Kagome gave a soft gasp when his lips found a particular spot upon her body; the little dip upon her skin where the neck met shoulder. Kagome was expecting those teeth of his too but they never came. Instead, his lips would remain and he showered her skin with tender and soft kisses that set her aflame. A new kind of desire would be brewing within her body and this excited her on different levels, “Mmn, Nii-sama...”
He was so intimate. Why? What brought about this change? Not that’s he was complaining but… It frightened her.
Upon hearing his name, he growled lowly and Kagome felt his arms encircle around her waist, pulling her body back flush against him in near possessive manner. A trait she had seen and experienced many times before during those rare times with him. Was it his beast again? She was not so sure as she could not get a good look at his face.
But he was behaving differently. Then again, who knows how the fuck youkai functioned?
She surely didn’t know but she was curious.
Sesshoumaru began to trail his way towards her neck as he continued to kiss her skin and each kiss had Kagome shivering in delight. Did he know what he was doing to her? To treat her like if they were truly lovers? So many mixed signals being sent to her brain… It was confusing her!
His kisses remained like fire upon her, trailing up along her neck in a path he made for himself and Kagome instantly melted under his touch. He’d continue to kiss along her skin, trailing up her neck, beneath her jaw, her chin and stopped the moment he’d find her lips. He pulled away briefly to look upon the girl who looked so flustered when she slowly opened her eyes to look at him.
A heavy tinge of red marked her cheeks and Kagome noticed that look in his eyes. His beast was not there. Was this truly him? She could not stop her hand from reaching out to touch his face, her fingertips grazing over his markings upon the right side of his face. Sesshoumaru watched her in question as she began to rub her fingers just beneath his eyes, almost as if she was trying to wipe his markings off. Obviously this didn’t work but it brought a smile to her face plus a giggle. A giggle that he actually found to be cute.
“Nii-sama, after everything that has happened so far, I am glad you were here with me. Everything doesn’t seem so bad, well, save for me becoming quite a bother to you…”
Sesshoumaru said nothing as he watched her but Kagome felt his hand grasp for her own as slender fingers curled around her wrist. He’d repeat that same instance during their time in the limousine, placing kisses along the inside of her hand. She became mesmerized at this and watched as he’d catch every spot, every dip and when he finished on her last digit, he brought his lips to the center of her palm, “No, you are not a bother,” Head tilting to look upon those ocean blues with his smoldering amber gaze.
Kagome heard his soft reply when he gazed at her yet she was near skeptical upon hearing his words. “…Am I really?”
“Shall I prove it to my dear imouto?” His voice was so seductive, it had her heart skipping a beat. He had to be doing this on purpose. There was no other explanation! A quiet whimper escaped Kagome as his lips once again attacked at her neck, open mouth kisses setting her body aflame again and could not stop the soft moan from leaving her.
“This Sesshoumaru has to admit that your presence has become quite an addiction.” Husky tone followed after those words as they were nearly whispered at the base of her neck. “An addiction that I crave for.” Kagome gasped upon hearing him speak as she had not expecting him to reveal such information and so, Sesshoumaru used that to his advantage as he’d capture those lips of hers in his own.
The kiss was soft, tender and completely passionate. Sesshoumaru was on a roll today. He was taking her by surprise every hour and now she was curious to what he’d pull next. He was making her heart soar to great heights. Arms would again wrap around her in that same possessive manner and soon the two would fall back onto that bed, resuming their passion and it would increase tenfold the more they kissed.
Kagome could now feel the effects of that drug kicking into her brain but for some reason this time around, she did not feel like the sex crazed woman she was many times before. Had something happened? Why was it different? Hopefully this wouldn’t deter from Yakurou’s analysis…
Thoughts had been halted as those kisses from Sesshoumaru resumed and from the way he kissed her, it was completely different than the other times they had exchanged kisses.
No overpowering lust, just complete and utter passion. Kagome moaned out into Sesshoumaru’s mouth as their kiss grew heated, a growl coming forth from him as their tongues came into play. Her sweet taste would be gathered into his mouth, that appendage reaching the far corners of her mouth and made sure to taste all of her. The very act had Kagome gasping and panting for breaths in between their kissing, leaving the poor girl flushed once more.
Kiss ended when the two would break away simultaneously for much needed air but Sesshoumaru’s mouth found the crook of her neck. Her body would be turned to lay upon that bed on her back, pulling away from her to remove that dress as it was tugged down her body.
A hazed look clouded over those vividly burning blues but she’d remain her focus only on Sesshoumaru. Sun dress fell unceremoniously upon the floor yet the two neither cared. She’d remain in a single undergarment that covered her lower half but even that would be soon removed as skillful hands were placed upon her body. Where ever Sesshoumaru’s hands went, they’d leave a trail of burning desire behind, her body only craving more and more.
Kagome gazed up at the ceiling in a dreamy daze, her eyes half lidded yet she felt everything what Sesshoumaru was doing to her. His head returned to the crook of her neck and those fiery kisses started up again, peppering her skin with them as his hands grazed down her body. Kagome could not stop her hands from moving as they would slip into those silky silver locks of hair, soft fingers finding his scalp as the male traveled lower. A soft gasp escaped from her lips when Sesshoumaru’s mouth enclosed over a vibrant pink nipple and his tongue flickered over the bud, the ministrations had her arching her back up from the bed in response. “Mmnn, Sess…”
Greedy lips sucked on that nipple until it became quite hard from his own doings and soon released his hold as it jiggled into place. Her other breast would receive the same treatment, Kagome’s hold upon his head tightening a tad more as she could feel the lava now pooling down below. His hands found her waist and held her there when he’d finish with that breast, his lips returning to her skin as he traveled even lower.
Those kisses were so soft and so tender; it still surprised Kagome, even in this state.
Each kiss was felt and he’d trail his own path down her body that had her shivering, her breathing erratic until she held in a breath when he’d reach her waist.
Sesshoumaru could hear her heartbeat race when those hands slipped beneath the velvet g-strings of her underwear, followed by quiet whimpers as if she was pleading for him to continue. Golden hues gazed up her body and once he reached her face, their gazes locked when he saw those vividly burning blues as they were gazing right back at him.
So many things were going on in her mind right now but one thing was certain. Kagome wanted this more than anything.
“Hurry nii-sama, onegai…”
Even Sesshoumaru found it difficult to tell if that was really her or her mind losing to the effects of the drug.
Off went the girl’s underwear as it was pulled down her shapely legs and immediately her scent hit his nose and his immediate reaction was that he inhaled deeply, gathering all of her in his lungs. His beast would be banging on that cage from deep within, demanding to be let out but he would refuse to lose himself to that.
Kagome’s hands slipped from Sesshoumaru’s head when he pulled away from removing the only undergarment she had left, now laying upon the bed completely bare to him.
Sesshoumaru didn’t bother undoing the buttons to his polo shirt as he just pulled it up along his torso, the material going up and over his head. It would be tossed aside and hands went to undo his belt and buckle, letting that fall to the floor and stepped out of them to reveal that he only wore his black, silk boxers. But they too would be immediately discarded from his body.
Kagome’s hands were raised the moment Sesshoumaru removed the last article of clothing, wanting for him to come close. Sesshoumaru climbed on top of that bed with her and was rewarded with the warmth of his body when he came close. The two would share another passionate kiss as her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, holding him close to her body and never wished to let go.
Her legs wrapped around his waist as they continued to kiss like the lovers they so claimed to be but that kiss would abruptly end when she felt something hot press at her moist folds. “Oh!” She wasn’t expecting that so suddenly! Her eyes fluttered open and head rolled back when he filled her depths. “Oh kami!” Her legs tightened around his waist as he already began his pace Kagome was rewarded with more kisses upon her neck as it was exposed.
Blunt nails dug into Sesshoumaru back when he moved to his own rhythm, her body shivering in delight as she felt his pulsing manhood slip in and out of her depths. His movements were not rough or powerful like the many times before, they were slow yet fulfilling.
He was being so tender, so gentle… Why?!
Her arms once again wrapped around his neck with moans spilling endlessly from her lips as Sesshoumaru continued to move at a pace that had Kagome meeting his movements by lifting up those hips.
His pace increased when inner walls involuntarily clenched around him from within and Kagome just couldn’t hold onto him any longer. Arms slipped from his neck and those hands fell onto the sheets, fingers curling tight as she gripped onto the sheets.
“Nii-sama! Harder!”
Her request would be immediately fulfilled as his thrusts became harder as she voiced so eagerly and so, her moans would return. Her eyes remained upon Sesshoumaru even as he buried his face at the crook of her neck, feeling his nose press right at her throat and take in her scent. Sesshoumaru leaned away as his nostrils flared, eyes opening and found the flushed face of the girl as she looked right at him.
Their gazes met again and neither one seemed to look away, becoming too enthralled in this moment.
Sesshoumaru saw those blue irises burn intensely and that same fire that danced behind those hues was clear as day, the desire that she held for him was evident. Kagome’s body would be rocked hard against Sesshoumaru’s powerful thrusts that had those breasts bouncing in such a erotic display, his eyes marveled in their movements caused by him.
Kagome could no longer hold his gaze as her head tilted back, moans growing louder in sound and it was possible those outside the room may hear her. But did she care? Nope.
Kagome was so close, she could feel it. Positions would be changed when Kagome felt her body turned just slightly to lay on her left and before she could figure out what he was doing, Sesshoumaru leant down just behind her and resumed his rhythm. Deep, strong thrusts at this new angle had her moaning out even louder when he gathered up her right leg behind her knees and lifted it, growling low into her ears.
Oh goodness. She was going to lose it if he kept this up.
Sesshoumaru could sense her reaching her orgasm and so his thrusts became faster.
“Oh-oh!” Raven locks pilled across her shoulders as her head turned to gaze up dreamily at the face of her brother she had come to hold lust for. Eyes remained half lidded as her vision was obscured by tussled bangs yet she managed to make out his face. She saw those teeth that poked out from his mouth when he growled at her but she wanted more.
Those eyes fell to his lips, “Nii-sama, kiss me…”
Her voice so soft in the midst of their coupling but he had heard her. Silver locks would spill over her body when his head turned and bent down to capture Kagome’s lips as per request. She was lucky to have him and she couldn’t ask for any more.
Their tongues would twirl about from within, a dance of passion that echoed the bit they had for one another. She moaned out into his mouth as she could feel her loins grow hot, inner walls repeatedly clenching onto that thick length of his. Sesshoumaru growled out into her mouth after she moaned and felt the tightness envelop him from below.
Faster movement and an increase of speed then soon the girl came undone.
His name would be moaned out loudly as her head threw back, their kiss ending immediately when she reached her climax. Her voice waned as she felt those contractions from within, whimpering quietly as she spilled every bit of herself upon him. Her body remained still after her orgasm, quiet whimpers resuming as Sesshoumaru still continued to thrust into her body. Sesshoumaru dipped down to place those lips upon the very spot where his mark would be placed should he chose to…
…Should he do it?
He was tempted to do so, to finally lay his claim on this girl he had come admit he had an addiction for. She was his drug and he needed his fix like every other drug abuser. But what of her? Did she want this? Maybe it was best to speak about this until after she was recovered.
Sesshoumaru felt something warm touch his face and he noticed it was her hand. Her palm rested upon his cheek and he peered down curiously at the now exhausted girl but her eyes remained closed as she took in quiet breaths from parted lips.
One last thrust would be given to her body and he saw her eyes squeeze shut even tighter, another moan leaving her lips as he hilted in deep. Kagome would feel the grip on her leg tighten greatly, followed by a deep growl into her ears as he reached his orgasm. He came deep inside her and filled her up to the brim, just like the many times he had before.
Kagome remained unmoving but a quiet whimper escaped when she felt something hot fill up her depths. It was so much. Who would have thought he had so much spunk?!
When he finished, he’d slip out from inside her and set down her leg and now her body could finally relax after all that.
She was so exhausted. Her body felt so hot and she looked like she was on the verge of passing out again. Consciousness was slipping in and out and she groaned in protest, the sound had Sesshoumaru looking over her and soon grabbing up that hand she’d place by his face. She’d attempt to squeeze her fingers around his hand but only managed so little, “I’m okay…. Just tired…”
What just happened? Never once she thought Sesshoumaru could be so tender, it was still sending mixed signals to her braid as she lay there looking like she was ready to pass out. She could feel his arm around her waist to secure her in place; his nose buried into her hair and heard the small intake of breaths he took.
Her right limb moved weakly, letting her hand slide over his arm that was around her and soon grab a hold of his wrist, “Sess, you have to go back to that hermit… We have no time to waste.”
By himself?
“You expect me to leave you here?”
Well, it wasn’t what he was thinking but she still needed some time to rest. The afterglow was taking a toll on her body. Her arms and legs felt like jello, her head was spinning and over all she felt extremely tired.
Slowly Kagome’s head turned to gaze tired eyes at Sesshoumaru who gazed back with that same cold expression but she was such an expert in reading him now. “Yes…! I am really curious to see what that hermit has found in my system.”
“Then you will see it when you have fully rested.”
Kagome was so close to retort but she was far too tired for that. A soft sigh left her lips and just decided to lay there to rest.
Kagome did have to admit, it felt nice to feel his body so close to hers and actually be conscious for once. And little did she know it, she fell into a light slumber as those minutes went. Sesshoumaru hadn’t left her side even as she slept, remaining close by. Her scent was far too good to pass up, better than all of these other scents that wafted into his nose upon arriving at the organization.
Kagome slept soundlessly, her breathing light and her body cooled down after ‘overheating’.
About a few hours had passed within that small room and Kagome would be waking up as her body was again fully energized. Eyes opened and vision immediately focused on what was in front of her. She nearly forgot where she was but today’s events came back quick and she stiffened when she felt warmth press into her back. It was Sesshoumaru of course and she completely wasn’t so used to him being os close to her after their coupling.
She blinked once then twice and shifted a tad, “Nii-sama, are you awake?”
Sesshoumaru was indeed awake as he wasn’t much of a sleeper. He’d answer her as his head dipped into the crook of her neck again and teeth would finally make their appearance as he’d nip at the spot where he would have marked her. A low growl was heard after Kagome arched her back a tad, almost as if she tried to get away from him but Sesshoumaru held her in place as that arm was still around her waist. So possessive!
“Alright, alright… we should—“
Kagome’s words would be interrupted when she heard two knocks onto that door to the room. Oh god. She was still naked!
“Higurashi-san? Are you awake?”
That was one of Yakurou’s assistants. Was it something urgent? Quickly she’d grasp Sesshoumaru’s wrist to pry his arm off of her but he didn’t budge it and that had her looking at him in question, “Nii-sama… move!” He growled at her again when those words were whispered to him with eyes glaring up at him and wondered what the hell his problem was. Really!
Kagome would call out to the voice at the other side of the door while still eyeing her brother with an annoyed expression, “Yes, I am awake.”
“Good. We have your results and… There is something you need to see. Please head back to the lab when you are ready.”
Oh no. Why did they sound like it was nothing but bad news? Their presence would no longer be behind that door as they left and now Sesshoumaru had loosened up the hold he had on her waist. She eyed Sesshoumaru for long moments before slipping away from him and off that bed to slip back into her dress. At least her legs didn’t give out this time.
And Sesshoumaru would follow suit, slipping back on his clothes and looked as if nothing had transpired between him and his sister once he was fully dressed.
Once the pair got dressed, they’d make their way back to the lab the hermit and his four other assistants would be and the moment Kagome stepped inside, Yakurou turned around from speaking with his fellow members and approached her immediately when he sensed her presence, “Higurashi-san! How do you feel?”
Kagome saw the twinkle in his eyes when he looked at her as he came close, almost as if he was fascinated with something.
Err…
“I… feel fine?”
Was that the answer he was looking for?
“You feel refreshed, don’t you? Like… A whole new person, mm?”
Kagome wasn’t sure what he was getting at but yes, that was indeed what she felt like. Kagome felt like she could take on a million youkai all at once and never tire out. She didn’t know what the cause of this was but she’d assume it was the effects of the drug in her system.
Kagome nodded her head at the hermit. His face lit up like a fucking Christmas tree and turned to his assistants as if they just made a new discovery of some sort. Really, what was going on?
“Explain yourselves. All of you.”
Sesshoumaru’s turn to speak and those eyes narrowed hard on them all that had those assistants cowering in fear of the male’s strong voice and Yakurou turned back around to gaze back at the pair. Someone did not look too happy!
“I will explain everything but first.” He’d pause, turning his head to glance behind him to motion one of his servants to bring over a cart? Why was that needed? A tray would be upon that cart and it was rolled over to where they all stood. That assistant uncovered the tray and Kagome’s eyes immediately widened upon witnessing what was revealed.
It was a tray of food. Lots of it. She could smell the various amounts of meats and sauces. Wait a minute… Why the hell did they bring her this?!
Questionable eyes went to Yakurou but she kept making glances towards the food every now and then as she’d await his explanation.
“You must be hungry, Higurashi-san. Please, eat up to your heart’s content!”
This had got to be a trap of some sort. A clever trap. So, how did he know that she had such a huge appetite?! It had to be part of the drug, right? She had no idea…
But all that fucking food…! It was like it was staring at her and telling her to consume them all.
Kagome gave a quiet whimper that only Sesshoumaru managed to pick up and she could no longer resist as she was literally drawn to the pork bowls and cutlets. A soft sigh left her lips and before she would be allowed to dig in, she was given a pair of chopsticks by one of the assistants and grabbing up a bowl, she dug in.
Yakurou smirked. “Sesshoumaru-sama, I’m sure you have noticed the change in your sisters’ appetite as of late?”
Gold hues switched from Kagome to the hermit as that question was given to him, his eyes narrowing once the geezer was gazed upon. While yes, Sesshoumaru had taken note of the amount of food she had been taking in, he had not expected for it to be the cause of the drug. “It is something I have noticed but I paid no attention to such trivial matters.”
Yakurou nodded his head, “I see. Well, it isn’t anything major but this drug… It is a very powerful thing.”
Kagome felt like she was being treated like a fucking lab rat. She hated it. She hated it so much that she continuously ate to her heart’s content as she was told while gulping down that cool glass of ice water that was poured out for her.
“Yakurou-san. What else did you find?”
A bowl of steamed rice would be taken up and she’d wait to hear Yakurou speak and tell her just about everything what she needed to know.
“As we examined your blood, we were able to find out what was happening to your body during the effects of this stimulant. Now, if I can get your attention briefly, Higurashi-san,” Pausing to direct her gaze to the overhead monitor before them. Then his arm started to elongate… Wait, what the fuck? He can stretch out his arms?! How long could he stretch them out for?
She’d see him point to what she believed to be images of her brain. Front, back, left side and right side. Wow. How the hell did he managed that with only just examining her blood?
“This is the state of your brain before the drug came into effect. Watch what happens when the stimulant activates.”
Kagome paused in her eating when she watched the screen and when Yakurou turned the small dial at the corner of the monitor, she gasped when she saw her brain lit up in such vivid colors that were all in a shade of pink and purple. Was that… what was really happening to her when she was having sex with Sesshoumaru? Dear heavens.
“Your reiki flares up exponentially and I am sure Sesshoumaru took notice of this as well, yes?”
Sesshoumaru also looked at the screen and found it amazing to see the display of those colors dance around in various pulses around her brain when she was under the effects of the drug. “Yes, I have.”
He noticed? Wasn’t that something important to tell her? Well, not like she’d do anything with that sort of information.
“You also gain quite a lot of physical strength as well. I do not know why but perhaps it was because Naraku wanted you to be at your best—“
“What?! Naraku? So he really made this thing?”
Kagome’s outburst cut off Yakurou’s words and he turned his head to nod at her.
“Indeed he was the maker. There were small traces of his blood that we managed to scrape off. It is the main catalyst of this drug and the intended target.”
So Naraku was the one who made this? That explains why he just suddenly up and arrived at the mall some time ago. But why? Why even make something so dangerous?!
“If he was the maker then why did it not work as it should?” That question was the only thing on Sesshoumaru’s mind ever since he had his suspicions.
“That is something we do not know. We’ve looked into it as much as we could but nothing shows why it didn’t work in Naraku’s favor. Honestly,” He’d pause, looking to the girl who was completely stunned by this information, now gazing back down at the hermit who would give his opinion on this matter. “Perhaps it is because her attraction towards you is stronger than Naraku’s.”
A heavy tinge of red would mark across Kagome’s cheeks and felt her face grow so hot. She couldn’t dare to look at Sesshoumaru when the hermit said those words and quickly turned around, “W-well... I don’t like Naraku at all, so…” She could feel Sesshoumaru’s eyes on her even if she wasn’t looking at him, eyeing the tray full of food. “Besides, it’s better this way.” Then she quickly stuffed her mouth full of food before she said any more gushy stuff around people she didn’t know.
Enough of that now!
Yakurou grinned at Kagome but now he would turn his attention to Sesshoumaru whose gaze has lingered onto Kagome for long seconds until he would gaze back at the hermit.
“From what we have gathered and the two of you have definitely noticed, this drug heightens Higurashi-san’s sexual drive to unprecedented levels. It brings out the body’s full potential when it comes to sex and a new state of euphoric high. But as a result, this uses up much of the body’s own resources… As you can see.” Gesturing towards Kagome who was still eating as much as she wished.
She blushed in embarrassment when attention was directed to her but still tried to pay them no mind them all as she ate.
“And… There is something I wish to ask the both of you. This is very personal so you may not wish to answer if it is too much for you.”
Kagome paused in her eating once more when the hermit spoke in a tone that sounded very important and frightened her a tad. Oh god. Was there something else wrong with her body!? Broken nerve endings that may have her unable to walk ever again?!
She gulped.
Once Yakurou had both attentions from Kagome and Sesshoumaru, he would continue, “Sesshoumaru-sama, not including today, how many times have you been intimate with Higurashi-san?”
Kagome’s eyes widened greatly when that question was asked to Sesshoumaru and she turned right around to gaze in disbelief at the hermit. Why was he asking such a personal question? Well, he did warn them but there had to be such a reason for asking that, right?
Sesshoumaru did not know why the hermit was asking him such a question but still, he did not wish to give him such details. “Why do you wish to know?”
Yakurou sighed and shook his head lightly as those arms retracted and folded behind his back, “Okay then let me rephrase my words, out of the many times you have been intimate with Higurashi-san, why has she not shown any signs of pregnancy?”
Wait, what? Pregnancy? Holy shit. The one thing that slipped through her mind. Both of their minds, even. They were far too busy concerning themselves with this drug that warped her mind and finding out a way to remove it.
It was so deathly silent in that lab all of a sudden and Kagome could find no words for the hermit. Why wasn’t she pregnant out of all the times she had sex with Sesshoumaru? It couldn’t be the drug, could it?! Just what the fuck did Naraku even make?
Yakurou saw the reactions from the two of them as they remained silent. So, they haven’t noticed?
“This stimulant is a very powerful thing. Something Naraku planned to make for hours, possibly days or weeks… and I bet my beard that he was not alone in making this. While it pushes the body to its limits, it has many repercussions. In order to compensate the changes your body is going through, your appetite is increased tenfold and it shuts down the reproductive system entirely because it uses a lot of resources.”
Now he looked to Kagome who was in complete disbelief at what she just heard. She was shocked! Why?! Why would Naraku make something so… horrible?!
But the fact that she couldn’t reproduce… That’s he couldn’t have children… She dropped her bowl of rice onto that tray and hands went to her face. She wanted to cry. She wanted to shed tears because of her misfortune but she couldn’t. Her body wasn’t letting her do so. This information as too much to take in…
Sesshoumaru saw the distress that emanated from Kagome and knew she was having a hard time in processing all of this. He growled lowly and glared at the hermit, “Are you certain it is because of the drug?” He did not wish to see Kagome in such a state as it reminded him of all the times before. The pain and anguish that came from her aura.
The lab became deathly silent again when Yakurou nodded his head to Sesshoumaru’s question. Was it really true? God damn that Naraku. Sesshoumaru was going to kill him.
Beep. Beep. Beep!
The intercom overhead would be heard and Yakurou glanced upwards when those sounds went off. “Yes, Suzumiya?”
The receptionist at the desk would be paging for the hermit and her voice began to crack when she spoke to him, “U-uh… Y-you have a visitor…”
Yakurou tilted his head in question and blinked, “Who is it? Tell them I’m busy!”
“U-ummm… I think you should see them…”
Really? Who the hell was more important than Sesshoumaru and Kagome right now?
Yakurou grumbled and began to reach for the overhead monitor again and tapped on the buttons to view the main entrance from one of the security cameras. Both Yakurou and Sesshoumaru took a look see at who it was and their eyes couldn’t believe it.
It was Naraku.
Why was he here?!
Yakurou zoomed into the youkai’s face with the camera and when he got a better look at his visage, the hermit knew it was definitely Naraku in the flesh. Sesshoumaru’s teeth gritted and growled out lowly, his anger seen upon his face. That man dared to show his face here?
Kagome’s gaze had lingered upon the floor for long moments but hearing Sesshoumaru’s growl would alert her to her surroundings. She slowly gazed up upon her brother in question and wondered why he was so angry until she gazed at the monitor and those blue hues widened greatly.
“Naraku…” His name whispered out quietly into the air before her.
Immediately the lab began to light up as blaring sounds of those gadgets and sensors went off as if eminent danger was afoot.
This had Yakurou and his assistants puzzled as they had no idea what was going on. Sesshoumaru’s growl dissipated and his face was that of annoyance as the blaring sounds of those ‘alarms’ went off within his lab, glaring at the hermit.
He didn’t know what was going on either! Yakurou then saw the other monitor overhead that held Kagome’s brain readings and once more they began to flare up in vivid colors but a dark red would be seen in those brain waves.
Yakurou’s eyes widened greatly then whipped back around to gaze at Kagome who was now staring hard at the screen that still held Naraku’s face upon it as he was currently in conversation with the old lady at the front desk.
Yakurou watched as rage and anger would swell up from her being and those vividly blue hues swirled completely red in color. Her teeth gritted tight and never had the girl look so pissed off. No, she was fucking livid.
“Naraku…!”
Immediately her reiki flared to great levels when the hanyou’s name left her lips in a vicious snarl, her hair fanning out wildly behind her by invisible winds that also had her dress kick up and flow about wildly upon her.
“Yakurou-san! We must get out of here, her power… It’s flaring!”
“We must go or else she’ll purify you and everyone within range!”
Yakurou completely ignored his assistants, simply staring at Kagome as he was marveled at how much power she was now withholding. It was remarkable! To think this drug would trigger untapped power she had dormant within… That’s Midoriko’s ancestor for you. “S-Subarashii…!”
Sesshoumaru looked on with slightly widened eyes at his sister when she began to display such power he didn’t know she had. She looked to be completely unresponsive to those around her… That is until she moved. Yakurou and his servants gasped when the girl turned from her spot and began to make her way for the door, “I will handle this.”
Holy shit. Was that even her?
She grabbed the door handle to that door and pulled it completely off its hinges, tossing the now torn door behind her and those assistants had to duck for cover when it flew their way. It crashed into something but Kagome did not dare to look back. She kept pressing forwards and made her way right for the main desk.
Oh shit.
“S-should we stop her, Yakurou-san?!”
Yakurou stared at the girl’s back until she disappeared around that corner, exhaling out in relief when he was not purified by her power. He was sweating like bullets and his heart was racing like mad, “N-no! Let her handle this. If any damage is done to the vicinity, I will afford it…”
Sesshoumaru remained silent the entire time when Kagome left the lab and when she was gone, he would follow right after her in careful stride.
“Sesshoumaru-sama, be careful! There’s no telling what she may do. She may not even recognize you!”
Those readings on the monitor and sensors were still going off like crazy. Good thing Yakurou was recording all of this.
“No, she will. She is my imouto, after all.”
And so the eldest son left the lab, leaving the five of them there who were paralyzed in fear of the powerful miko.
To think this place would become one large battle field soon… Yakurou almost felt sorry for Naraku.
