Chapter 14

 

"...so that is what happened. And now I'm a fugitive from Dog Demon Central," explained Sango. Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome, Kirara and a revived Shippo now sat around the dinner table listening to the taijiya's tale of entanglement with the deadly youkai lord Sesshomaru. "It looks like I got here at a good time, though," she said timidly, referring to that night's events. She hoped to change the subject, not really wanting to talk about him.

 

"You sure did, Sango. So did you Miroku," said Kagome, smiling at her friends gratefully. "We were lucky you came when you did."

 

After dropping Takeo into Kagome's arms Inuyasha went after the would-be kidnappers Jitsuo and Noguro. He searched far into the forest, tracking Jitsuo and his minion, but eventually lost their scent and returned home.

 

Miroku later explained his sudden presence. He had been out in the countryside at the time of Kaede's passing performing itinerant religious services. He had only got word that morning of her death and set out immediately to pay his respects. Seeing a disturbance just as he walked up to the village, he noticed that a strange youkai held Takeo and took his chance. He struck Jitsuo, taking care not to hurt the baby. Inuyasha's quick reflexes had then saved Taki from being dropped as the youkai staggered back from the force of Miroku's blow.

 

Now they all sat together riveted to Sango and her strange tale. By the time she finished the room was aghast. Questions lingered in the air but no one really had the courage to ask them. Sango sat with her eyes firmly glued to the floor hoping the subject would pass. 'What do they think of me...that I am weak? A loose woman for sleeping with him? I have always been loyal to Inuyasha and Kagome. Sesshomaru did nothing to change that,' she thought.

 

Shippo spoke first. "You're lucky you got away from him, Sango. That demon scares me. He's a killer." The kitsune had always been terrified of Inuyasha's older brother.

 

"I still can't believe you were with him like that, Sango...gods, isn't he cold? I mean, what could you talk about with him?" asked Kagome.

 

"Well...believe it or not, he is funny."

 

The miko looked up in surprise. "What? Sesshomaru? No way."

 

"Yes, he actually has a sense of humor," said Sango. Her brow furrowed in recollection. "It is very dry, very subtle. I sort of found it...charming." The group stared at her as if she had grown two heads. "And, he asked me questions about my work, my thoughts...I know it doesn't sound like him..." The wistful look in the woman's eyes told them of the depth of her feelings for the youkai lord.

 

"It sounds like he cared for you Sango," said Miroku quietly. 'And she him.' During the story the monk sat back silently taking it in, all the while becoming more and more uncomfortable. It almost sounded as if Sango were in love with him.

 

Inuyasha snorted. "That asshole doesn't know what affection is. He knows power, anger and inflicting pain. That's it."

 

Sango dropped her head. "You may be right, Inuyasha. I thought he was changing, but I guess I was wrong. You wouldn't believe some of the things he said to me. They were so heartless and cruel."

 

Kagome patted her shoulder. "Don't feel bad, Sango. You probably did have a positive effect on him-- Sesshomaru taking an interest in a human? That is unheard of."

 

"Yeah, that fucker hates the old man for taking up with my mother. How can he be that way now after what he's been up to?" Inuyasha relished the inner conflict he was certain his older brother was suffering at the moment. He deserved it, the bastard. 'He abandoned me after she died. Left me to the name-calling and rejection of her relatives when he could have brought me to my father's home. And he's been a bastard to me ever since.' "Its really kind of insane if you think about it-- how could he now be rutting Sango? Not to mention mindfucking her."

 

"It's over, Inuyasha. And do you have to be so crude?" asked Sango. 'It seems to run in the family,' she thought ruefully, remembering her last confrontation with Sesshomaru. "Anyway, I can't stay. If he sends someone after me they will probably come looking here."

 

Inuyasha huffed. "Wench, if he wanted you back you'd never have left that place. Sesshomaru isn't that sloppy," he said.

 

"I am afraid he's right, Sango. If he was after you he'd never have let you escape to begin with. You'd still be there," said Miroku.

 

She sighed, suddenly realizing that a part of her wanted to believe he would come for her. It would mean that he still cared. In any case it was a relief to think she might be free of his drama, at least for the present. "I guess you are right. Unless he's playing one of his sick little games...I wouldn't put it past him," murmured Sango.

 

"In any case, you should stay here with us for a while. You haven't had time to mourn Kaede, and I don't feel right about you going back to your place by yourself," said Kagome. She went to Takeo's crib to check on him.

 

"Yeah, me and Kagome have had no time to ourselves in forever...maybe you could watch the puppy for us for a few hours..." added Inuyasha with an ingratiating grin. Kagome looked up and saw him gazing at her with 'that look'. Since the baby's birth the two of them had no time alone and both were beginning to feel it. Inuyasha had been making advances to her at night but Kagome always pushed him away. She had not felt comfortable being intimate with the baby in the room. It had been months since they last made love-- Kagome found it difficult in the later months of her pregnancy to participate, and so had forbid it altogether. She imagined he must be about to explode. She felt it too.

 

"Only if Sango is alright with it," she said.

 

"Of course! I'd love to spend some time with my little nephew." She got up and took the baby from Kagome. He gurgled and looked up into her eyes. Sango marveled at how smooth and perfect his baby skin was, how clear and bright his eyes.

 

"Do you want to have one someday, Sango?" asked Shippo. He had been watching from across the room. Now living full time with Kagome and Inuyasha, he had been adopted as their own son even though the hanyou still fought and teased with him as if he were still a child himself. Kagome realized it would most likely always be that way between them, but didn't mind because she understood that deep down both cared a great deal for the other. Once in a while they even showed it.

 

"Have my own baby? I suppose I wouldn't mind," answered Sango. "I guess when it came to fighting youkai I could just bundle her up, stick a dagger in her hand and tote her on my back!" She giggled, joking.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I have a message directly from Lord Matuko. He asked me to bring it to you personally." Masu panted, trying to regain his breath. The messenger had been traveling all night.

 

Sesshomaru now sat in his library conferring with Tamaku. He took the sealed parchment from the winded messenger and read it quickly in silence. He dismissed Masu.

 

"Matuko is fighting as we speak. Jitsuo has struck, and his army is massed around the southeastern border of Matuko's territory. He is attacking the fort." He paused.

 

Tamaku sighed. "And this coupled with the other news about Jitsuo. My informants tell me he was seen retreating hours ago from your brother's village."

 

"Yes. Do we know any more about that?" They had been discussing the newest appearance of the rebel leader close to Inuyasha's territory. Sesshomaru had been eager to know the connection between the traitor and his brother.

 

"Apparently, and the tale is sketchy at this point-- Jitsuo has been seeking the pup belonging to Inuyasha and his human mate to install at the head of his army. He apparently plans to usurp this authority and proclaim the child Lord of the West in your stead...It is insanity, Sesshomaru-sama. The cur has clearly lost his mind."

 

Sesshomaru did not respond, but a hard cold glare came into his eyes. Jitsuo had attempted to kidnap his blood? No one trifled with his family, not even Inuyasha if the demon lord did not want it. And this he did not want. Takeo was only a tiny pup and out of bounds when it came to political games and warfare. That he was three-quarters human made little difference. Sesshomaru could not abide dishonorable acts involving himself, such as putting children at risk. It had nothing to do with sentiment; honor and cold logic supported his position. 'I hope my baka brother was there at least to run the cur Jitsuo away-- I have no doubt the idiot failed to kill him. I will have to take care of that myself.' "Did he succeed, Tamaku? In taking the pup?"

 

"That is not clear. It is thought not. My informants lost his trail sometime early this morning. It is believed he will rejoin the rebel army at Matuko's fort and lead a charge northward. Toward us."

 

Sesshomaru stood. He would have to take a personal hand in these matters. Usually traitors could be punished at a lower level of command by dispatching a company of solid trusted warriors to put down disturbances and plots. A different course of action would be required in this case. 'The bloodline is involved,' he thought.

 

Walking to the window, the demon lord spoke over his shoulder to Tamaku. "We take action now against this Jistuo. Call in Ruychi-- have him gather the generals. Tell them they will have to sober their men up, the festival is over for them. We move soon. I must depart for a brief time...when I return we will meet the rebels."

 

"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama."

He decided to take her for a ride on his back, something they hadn't done in ages. Kagome now exhilarated at the wind whipping through her hair and over her face as Inuyasha bounded along, jumping and flying over hills and streams and trees. She felt free and her own laughter sounded good in her ears. It felt wonderful to be out alone with him again.

 

Sango and Miroku had agreed to stay with Takeo and Shippo while they were out. It had been a bit difficult parting from her baby at first, but gradually Kagome let her worries drop away as they bounded further and further away from the village. She clutched the strong shoulders of her mate while taking in the fast-moving beauty of the countryside around them.

 

Eventually Inuyasha slowed down, easing his pace and came to a stop at a beautiful location high above the valley. Kagome looked out over a grassy forest clearing over a waterfall that splashed cool white water into a blue pool below them. They sat down together and for a long time quietly took in the soothing, rushing sounds of the waterfall and the forest while holding hands. Over time the pair had become so close that words usually were not required, their two souls entwined to the extent that she knew his mind and he hers before either made a sound. Finally Kagome broke the pleasant silence with a soft question.

 

"What do you think about this business with Sango and Sesshomaru?"

 

Inuyasha shifted his weight and looked into the distance. "Honestly? I think she's damn lucky to have escaped him alive," he replied. "My half-brother would kill a human as much as look at one. I'm amazed she even got close enough to touch the bastard. How the hell did she do that?"

 

Kagome shrugged. "Well it must mean he had some kind of feelings for her, don't you think? It sounds like they got really close. Close enough to have relations."

 

"Nah. He's got no feelings for her or anybody. That evil bastard was using her. How could she have been surprised that he was getting a mate? I'm surprised at Sango...after Miroku I figured she'd be pretty careful when it came to baka males."

 

"Poor Miroku. It must be unpleasant for him knowing Sesshomaru got so close to her."

 

"He should have thought of that before screwing around on the wench." He wrapped an arm around Kagome. "Hey, I don't want to talk about them anymore...I have other ideas in mind" he said in a sexy growl, and slid himself closer to his mate. Kagome stared into the endless golden eyes that she knew better than her own and reached up to stroke his face.

 

"You are so beautiful, Inuyasha. I love you so much," she said. He leaned in and traced her lips with his tongue, causing her to sigh. His tongue snaked in to caress her mouth, and Kagome felt her arousal begin to rage within her as they tasted one another. It had been far too long. She had missed him, missed his touch.

 

"I never believed I would ever love anyone so much, Kagome...I don't deserve you." Leaning her back, his breath became heavy, and Kagome felt him begin to gently suck the skin above the racing pulse in her neck. She sought him again for a desperate, hungry kiss. "I want you," he murmured and pulled at her cotton yukata.

 

Kagome had only recently gotten used to wearing the clothes of this era, having given up her modern blouses and skirts only after deciding once and for all to stay with Inuyasha in the feudal era. It had been very hard to leave her mother and Souta, but in the end both of them realized Kagome belonged in the past, to spend life with her strange half-demon soulmate.

 

The well had been sealed, but only after Kagome brought in stocks of materials from the modern era that would be helpful-- medicines and first aid supplies, toiletries she could not do without like soap and lotions, and a vast supply of the ramen and sweets that Inuyasha and Shippo loved so much.

 

"I want you too, my love..." She parted his white shirt and caressed his chest which drew a loud sigh from the aroused hanyou. Searching lips trailed kisses down her throat, and Kagome tingled as she felt his hand sliding up her inner thigh. "Oh, Inu--" He brushed her tenderest area with his fingers, and she wailed as a sharp burning need began to surface within her. His tongue suddenly buried itself in her mouth, invading her in a way that told of his desperate desire to fill her, to please her.

 

His hands went to her now exposed breasts, caressing them and the hardening peaks beneath his thumbs. "Careful, Inu-- they are still sensitive..." He nodded and let her guide him in what she could tolerate, smiling once she let go and began to moan in pleasure from his attentions. Her hips bucked forward when he suddenly began to suckle and lick at her nipples, and she reached between them to cup his now stiff manhood. "Please, Inuyasha...I need you," she groaned. He was driving her crazy running his finger up and down between her moist folds. Untying himself, Inuyasha released his aching hardness and positioned himself between her legs. He wanted to plunge into her, to take her in passion.

 

"Is it okay to..." he started to ask. She nodded before he could finish, giving him permission to take her the way he wanted. With that he brushed long, glossy black strands of hair away from her face and looked into her eyes while thrusting himself deep inside her body. She clutched him tight and wrapped one leg over him, causing a groan to escape his lips as he sunk in deeper.

 

"Gods Kagome," he murmured and began to thrust in and out, rocking his hips over hers.

 

"I love you, Inuyasha." Her fingers dug into his back and she encouraged him to move faster, positioning her body to give him more access. After some time they rolled together, with Kagome on top. She began to pump on top of him, repeatedly taking his hardness deep within her. The sensations both felt were delicious and welcome after such a long time. Kagome leaned in and kissed him, and he held her head in his hands. She laid her own hands on his body to steady herself as they made love. Eventually she raised herself, digging her knees into his sides, and Inuyasha lifted his hands to massage her breasts. He loved this side of Kagome, the side that only he got to see. Her hair was wild and her face contorted in pure pleasure, the ecstasy that only he could bring to her. He leaned up and kissed her nipples, flicking his tongue over them as she continued to ride his stiff rod inside her.

 

Finally unable to take it anymore, Inuyasha flipped Kagome onto her side so that her back faced him. He held one of her legs in the air and slid himself inside to begin an intense pumping of her body. It was just too good. He growled and bit her neck as his demon side began to rise, having learned to moderate it enough to avoid hurting his mate. Even so it thrilled Kagome to know she had the power to arouse him this way, and thoroughly enjoyed his intensity. He moved against her mercilessly, and she felt incredible sensations inside as he rotated his hips, grinding and getting into all corners of her. She came wildly, shouting his name. He then rolled her onto her stomach and pounded against her until his own climax, and finally collapsed with a great sigh. He kissed and licked her shoulders and the back of her neck.

 

"Uhhh, can you get off me?" asked Kagome. He was crushing her with his weight. She laughed as he suddenly jumped away.

 

"Are you okay? I'm sorry Kagome!" Worry filled his eyes. She pulled him to her.

 

"Don't be stupid. You were incredible...we needed that, didn't we?"

 

"I don't know about you, but I sure did." He snorted and Kagome slapped him playfully on the arm.
