InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Don't Cry ❯ Dessert ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6: Dessert

She dared a peek at Sesshoumaru who also seemed to be. . . smiling. `Is he smiling. . . at me?' Kagome thought as her brown eyes went wide in her flushed face. But just as quickly as the smile appeared it went away.

"Shall we begin?" Sesshoumaru asked as he sat down again. The other demons at the table voiced their agreement, all chancing quick glances at the woman who sat next to Sesshoumaru.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome sat at the table, her hands folded delicately in her lap. The demons around her were talking about some up coming war with the East and North. Kagome wasn't really paying attention, for one she always found politics boring. And two she was too nervous to care. She was sitting at a table with four full blooded demons who could easily tear her to pieces, `Who wouldn't be nervous?' Kagome looked up when she heard the door open. Many servants came into the room, all holding large silver platters that were piled with food. That's when Kagome realized how hungry she was.

The servants laid all the platters at the center of the table where everyone could easily reach them. Women dressed in the royal servants kimonos placed silver goblets on the table while other filled them with a sweet cranberry colored liquid the smell alone tickled Kagome's nose. (IT IS NOT BLOOD!)

Soon the servants left the room, and all was quiet. Kagome longed to reach out and put some food on her plate but stopped herself. She had manners, and control, she would not make a fool out of herself. `Who knows, maybe they have some sort of custom or something.' Kagome thought as she looked warily around the table. All faces were turned to Sesshoumaru. Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru who sat calmly before them.

"Let's eat." He said with a sweeping gesture of his hand. The other three demons sounded their grunts of approval and began to feast on the food in front of them. However Kagome did not. Just watching the demon beside her eat made her loose her appetite. He was using his long sickly green finger to eat his food. Shoving as much as he could into his mouth at once where he would begin talking to the demon across from him who was doing very much the same thing. Kagome sighed inwardly and looked down into her lap again, she did not want the others to see the disgust on her face.

"Kagome, why don't you eat something, you must be hungry." Kouga commented from across the table at her. Kagome looked up into his blue eyes and smiled slightly when she saw that he was eating calmly and neatly, unlike the other demon at his right.

"Oh well I'm not really that hungry." Kagome said softly, knowing Kouga could hear it. A large slab of pork was dropped onto her plate in seconds, along with some other strange foods Kagome had never seen before. Kouga settled back into his chair and in a deep voice he commanded.

"Eat."

Kagome nodded her head and looked around for utensils, when she found none she sighed `Guess I'm going to have to make due with what I've got.'. Kagome daintily picked at her food with her fingers, trying to ignore the demon next to her. She found that one of the foods that resembled macaroni only red, was very spicy. Kagome drank greedily from the goblet in front of her. Soon the dinner was over and Kagome had already had three goblets of the sweet cranberry juice. Kagome didn't know why but for some reason she felt. . . giddy.

Servants came in soon after that and cleared away the plates. The demons then began to talk about the war and possible allies. The talk went on for hours, and everyonce in a while Kagome would take a sip from the silver goblet, her smile growing a little wider each time. Kagome wanted to get up and run around like the mad woman she felt she was, but no, manners and dignity held her in check.

Kagome didn't even notice when all the demons got up from the table, saying their goodnights and complementing Sesshoumaru on his hospitality. She didn't even see the worried looks she was getting from Kouga until he put a clawed finger under her chin and forced her to look up into his eyes.

"Hi." Kagome said bursting into giggles. Kouga sighed as he cocked an eyebrow at Kagome. Sesshoumaru soon appeared at his side.

"She's drunk." He said simply looking down coolly at Kagome who was doubling over in laughter at her own little joke that no one would ever know.

"Yes I could sense her sanity slipping during the meeting with the representatives." Kouga said stepping away from Kagome. He turned to Sesshoumaru and smiled.

"She wasn't as bad as you said she'd be, not one peep out of her the entire time." Kouga said smirking.

Sesshoumaru nodded, "Apparently we have chosen well." he said coolly. His golden eyes studying Kagome before returning to Kouga's curious gaze.

"So now what do we do with her?" Kouga questioned, glancing at Kagome who was now on her feet and stumbling around the room.

"Well we cannot let her return to her home, if she gets more than a mile from us our connection is broken." Sesshoumaru said coolly. Kouga nodded his head in agreement.

"It's getting late perhaps you should take the girl to her chambers?" Kouga said, eyeing Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru just stared at Kouga, his golden eyes cool.

"Or not…" Kouga grumbled when he realized he would be the one escorting Kagome back to her chambers.

"Goodnight." Sesshoumaru said coolly as he turned on his heel and walked passed Kagome who was now sitting on the floor smiling up at them.

Kouga sighed as he walked over to Kagome. She wore a smile on her face, her perfect Kimono now had wrinkles in it from sitting down to long. He offered her a hand up but she just looked at it dumbly, wondering what he wanted.

Kouga sighed and heaved Kagome over his shoulder, waiting for the yells of protest he knew was coming. Instead he got a small "Ohh…" out of the drunken girl. Kouga shrugged mentally as he left the dinning room and carried her down a series of hallways, to her chambers. He nearly fell on his face when he felt her small hands move in soothing circles on his back, under his armor. Her touch was soft and curious and Kouga couldn't help but shiver as different images flashed through his head. `No! She's drunk!' Kouga yelled at himself as he continued walking, it was getting harder to concentrate where he was going now, her hands were roaming all over him now going lower and lower.

"Stop it Kagome, you don't know what you're doing." Kouga said as he shifted the girl on his back. Kagome's only response was a small giggle followed by her running her hands through his long black hair, taking it out of its ponytail.

Kouga sighed mentally when he came to her chamber door. He kicked it open and walked quickly into the room, wanting to get rid of her before he did something un-chivalrous to her. He gently placed her down on the bed and was getting up to leave only to find that she wouldn't let go of his neck.

Kouga placed his hands on either side of her, half leaning over the bed. "Kagome let go." He ordered, his blue eyes were clouded, the girl obviously had no idea what affects she was having on his body.

"No" Kagome giggled as she leaned up and kissed him gently on the lips as she wrapped a pale slender leg around Kouga's knee, pulling him on top of her. Kouga moaned and he could feel himself hardening. He broke the kiss and shook his head vigorously as he used his arms to prop himself up.

"Kagome please don't. . ." Kouga said as he tried to free himself of her. Her scent was making him go wild, it was intoxicating, but he knew this wasn't what Kagome wanted, she was drunk and not in her right state of mind.

Kagome's grip around Kouga's neck grew tighter and she leaned forward, her mouth only inches from his ear. Kouga paused not knowing what to expect, what was she doing? His breath caught in his throat and he let out a deep purr when he felt her tongue trace the outsides of his pointy ears. She nibbled seductively on his ear lob and a small smile graced her lips.

"Kouga. . ." She whispered seductively in his ear. Kouga growled and slammed himself into her. Kagome moaned as she rocked against him, her hips grinding into his. She frowned when she felt him stop and get off of her. She reached for him only to find him gone.

"Kouga" Kagome whimpered into the dark room. Kouga stood at the door, his hand on the knob, he turned around and glanced back into the direction of the bed.

"Sorry Kagome, this isn't what you want." He said loud enough for her to hear it, before he left the room, closing the door behind him.

Kagome cried softly into her pillow, but she didn't have long to grieve because she soon fell asleep, clutching a pillow to her.
