InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Embracing Destiny ❯ Resolution ( Chapter 5 )
[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
I do not own Inuyasha or its characters. I do own a pair of leather, knee high stiletto boots.
Author's Note: Thank you for the reviews that I have recieved so far. (Especially Unistar) I am doing my best to show that even with Sesshomaru/Kagomes pairings, a good fanfiction is possible. Though I prefer this pairing, if I get enough reviews, I will do the classic Inuyasha/Kagome pairing next. I have ideas for a good story, I just need the inspiration from my readers to write it. Thanks again for reading. Please review.
Chapter 5
Resolution
Kagome took a step back as Naraku let out a sinister laugh. "It's good to see you again, especially in a body like that. I will take great pleasure in destroying it." he said. Her heart sped up and she clutched her purse. "You say that as if I'm going to just let you." she replied. He took a step forward and grinned when she took another step back. She was backed against the wall and her panicked expression made him smile. "I have been watching you for some time now and tonight is the first night I have felt the power in you.You aren't trained and though I hate to brag, even if you were, you wouldn't stand much of a chance against me. Not alone that is, and the last time I checked...you are." he said as he moved closer. She inched over, ready to bolt, but he saw it in her expression so before she could make another move, he was standing in front of her with his hands on either side of her face, caging her in.
He drew close to her and his unseemingly blood red eyes bore into her own. He was immaculately dressed in a white tuxedo and his long blue black hair was tied back in a pony tail allowing her to scrutinize his grudgingly handsome face. "You won't get it." was all she said before she kneed him in the balls as hard as she could. He grunted and bent over. Using the distraction she fled to the stairwell, but before she could reach the first step, he caught her and grabbed a fist full of her hair. He yanked her back against his chest and held her by the throat as she stared down the stairwell with longing. His grip brought tears to her eyes. "A cheeky bitch you've always been, but I thought maybe you would accept your fate with gracefulness. I see now that I'll have to break you." he growled.
His grip on her neck tightened and she took another gasping breath before stomping on his foot. The heal of her sandals ground into his toes painfully and his grip slackened enough for her to spin around and catch him with a right hook before running down the steps at high speed. He was on her before she got to the door and she let out a curse then elbowed him in the ribs. He spun her around and backhanded her so hard she could see stars. She fell and he pulled her by her ankle, flipped her around and buried his foot in her gut. Tears of pain streamed down her eyes as she struggled to breath. "I might enjoy it this time around." he said laughingly as he stooped and stared into her eyes.
Not one to give up, Kagome finally pulled air into lungs and screamed. Naraku's face jerked back and he slapped her. She could taste the metallic bitterness of her own blood in her mouth. She spat it at him and wiped a gloved hand across her mouth. "I don't think you will." she said as she clawed him. She brought her nails down the side of his face and smiled as he howled in pain. Three angry gouges ran from his right temple down to his left cheek. His right eye was oozing blood. She shot to her feet while he trembled with fury and pain, then caught him with a jab to his injured eye. He bellowed in pain and staggered back loosing his footing, then crashed to the ground. She ground her foot into his groin as payback then kicked him savagely in the face as a parting shot. She grabbed her purse which had fallen during the struggle and ran.
Yet again, he was on her before she could cross the threshhold. He slammed her head against the wall and wrapped his hands around her neck. His right eye was closed and blood oozed steadily from it. "I'm going to squeeze the life out of you." he seethed. She dropped the purse and her arms hung limply at her sides as she saw blackness closing in on her vision. Suddenly, she was on the ground coughing. She looked up to see Sesshomaru gripping Naraku's throat with one hand. "Explain yourself." he said. Red was creeping steadily into his eyes. but his voice remained calm. Naraku gripped his wrist with both hands but couldn't shake his hold. "I suggest you mind your business InuTaisho. What is a human bitch to you? If you desire her, I will give you her broken body to do as you wish." he said with a smirk. Sesshomaru's grip tightened even more cutting off his breath. "This human happens to work for me and if you did not remember, I can be very possessive of all that belongs to me. You will not harm her because she is under my protection. This Sesshomaru hates to repeat himself." he said in a monotone.
Naraku sneered at him. "You would bring the wrath of another demon to your house over a weak human whore?" he asked bitterly. Sesshomaru lifted him off the ground. "This weak human has managed to do much damage tonight. And do not presume to threaten me half breed. If you want to bring youkai law into this discussion I will remind you that for your trespass against that which is mine, I have every right to leak my poison into you and watch you rot." he answered. Naraku's eyes widened. "Take the filthy wretch if you must." he said. Sesshomaru tossed him to the side and lifted Kagome in his arms. "You need care." he said. He strode towards the entrance. "No, I need my purse!" she cried as she struggled. He lifted a brow to her then retrieved her purse, bending with ease to snatch it off of the ground. He repositioned her in his arms and began to walk out. She could see Naraku glaring at his back as they exited the building.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshomaru sat in the back of his limo with an exhausted and battered Kagome in his lap. When he had heard her scream, he had given his apologies to Kagura and slipped out of the ceremony. He had already retrieved his award for Business Man of the Year, and was passing the time by picturing himself driving his claws through the insipid host. It seemed that no one else had heard her frightened cry and he hadn't bothered to look for the rest of their entourage. The voice was distant enough over the clamor of the crowd and ceremony that only full youkai would be able to detect it. Being an inuyouaki inhanced his hearing ability and his sense of smell was even sharper. That was why, when the smell of her blood reached his nose, he let his youkai enhance his speed and he had her in his sight within seconds. The scene he had been privy to was enough to make him let out the Great Dog in the middle of theTokyo Museum.
What had caused Naraku to attack her? The answer to that question was important enough that he knew he must keep her under his protection until it was apparent to him. The half breed was dangerous. Though he had wanted to dispatch of the miscreant at the museum, he knew that it wasn't wise. The publicity and uproar of the event should it have happened, would have been too much. At the moment it wasn't worth the trouble. But he would have the bastard's head. He could not overlook what he had done to her. It was unacceptable. When he found the degenerate again, he would revel in his annihilation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome woke up and found herself warm, comfortable and content. She shot up in the large bed she occupied, then searched frantically for her purse. She got up and ran her hands along the walls until she found the light switch and turned it on. The first thing she noticed was how beautiful the room was. The large canopy bed was covered in navy blue silk and the walls were painted in a soft cream. The plush navy carpet felt like heaven under her feet and she glanced at the mahogony dressers and end tables. A velvet, navy colored couch was situated to her right and a mahogany coffee table sat in front of it with magazines scattered across its surface. The room was large and spacious with a large closet to her left. She glanced at the couch again and saw that she had overlooked her purse and dress which both lay in a heap. She ran to it and emptied her purse onto the couch searching for the jewel. Her blood ran cold when it wasn't there.
"Looking for this?" a voice said behind her. She turned to see an old woman in traditional blue and white kimono standing behind her with the jewel in her hand, hanging from a beaded necklace. "I thought it would be better if it were on a necklace. Harder to lose that way." she said with a chuckle. Her slightly wrinkled face was kind, and she wore a patch across her right eye. Her gray hair was held back from her face with a simple white ribbon. "You should rest if you want to keep the stiffness from your limbs." she said handing her the jewel. Kagome quickly put it around her neck and looked down at the navy silk pajamas she wore. "Thank you for dressing me. I wasn't in a state of mind to get myself out of that dress. It feels nice." she added absently. The old woman laughed.
"Weren't me who dressed you. When the Master brought you in, he insisted on it himself. He only let me get close enough to treat your wounds. Two broken ribs is all, you'll be fine with some rest. After that he put up a fuss, growling at me and such. Inuyoukai are known to be possessive." she said. Kagome stood stunned. She was having trouble processing the information. First things first. "It doesn't feel like their broken. I don't have any pain." she said. She could feel the bindings along her abdomen, but nothing hurt. The old woman smiled triumphantly. "Made the brew to ease the pain myself. The Master doesn't take to those modern medicines. prefers the traditional herbs to pills any day." she explained. Kagome smiled at her. "Did he leave?" she asked as she took a seat on the couch. The old woman sat down too. "The Master had to make some phone calls. Said there were people that be worried about you. That was a while ago, I figure he be done by now." she said with a thoughtful look.
Sighing in relief as she realized Miroku and the others, especially Inuyasha, would be worried about her, she thanked Sesshomaru mentally for his prudence. "I'm sorry. I haven't even thought to ask your name." she said with a smile. The old woman's smiled widened and a mischievous grin graced her lips. "They call me Kaede." she said. Kagome almost fainted. She clutched the back of the chair to keep herself upright as she her head swam. "You knew all along didn't you?" she asked. The woman steadied her. "Aye, I knew it were you from the moment I saw you. Made for this moment I was. The instinct of one who is reincarnated is strong. The Master is good, but I came into his service because of instinct. Been waiting a while." she explained. Kagome nodded stupidly. She had felt the instinct herself when trying to figure out who her demon aide was. Her head swam again and she felt closer to fainting as she figured it out. Sesshomaru. So it had been destiny all along that had brought them together.
The feeling of contentment that she felt only with him was the instinct of her reincarnated soul. She wasn't quite sure the intense attraction was. Taking a deep breath she opened her eyes, though she hadn't remembered closing them. "You knew he was my aide as well didn't you Kaede?" she asked gazing at the woman. Kaede nodded her head gravely. "Where is he now? I have to talk to him." she breathed. Kaede gave her another thoughtful look. "This be his room so I figure he be back. For now I think he be tucking in little Rin. She does so adore her daddy." she said. Kagome fainted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then next time Kagome woke up she was once again lying in bed. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, her heart in turmoil. He never mentioned having a child. She wondered what had happened to his mate. It was said that youkai followed their mate in death, their bond being so strong they couldn't live without them.
"So you are awake."
Sesshomaru's velvety voice drifted to her and she turned to see him seated at the edge of the bed. "You have a child." she said. He looked startled for a moment. "Yes." he stated. She closed her eyes and took a shaky breath. "You didn't mention that little detail before." she murmured. Sesshomaru sighed. "Rin is a topic I discuss with few people and only those I trust. I do not want anyone using her as a pawn to get to me, I have my fair share of enemies." he said. Kagome nodded in understanding and sat up. "How did your mate die?" she asked. Sesshomaru, who was still dressed in his tuxedo, stood and slowly took of the jacket. "I have never had a mate. I found Rin one night as I was traveling due to business. She had been beaten and tossed into a gutter. I brought her here and she has been with me ever since." he said. Kagome lifted her hand to her mouth in horror. How could anyone do that to their child?
"I didn't know youkai could be that cold to their children. I thought all youkai fiercely protected their families?" she asked. Sesshomaru had unbuttoned his shirt and hung it in the closet. "They do. Rin is human." he stated. Kagome's jaw dropped. The great Sesshomaru InuTaisho, who was known to all for his hatred of the human race, had saved and adopted a human child from the gutter. "You surprise me." she said. He turned to her and she got an eye full of his lean muscular chest. He was as beautiful, if not more so, without the clothes as he was with them. Kagura eat your heart out! "I surprise you? Did you think me that cold and heartless?" he asked with amusement. Kagome didn't take the bait. "I know you aren't as cold or heartless as you make yourself seem, but to adopt a human child? That even I wouldn't have thought possible." she said. He chuckled low in his throat and shrugged. "If you are averse to seeing me completely without clothing, I suggest you turn your head. I do not sleep with clothing and I don't want to offend your undoubtedly delicate sensibilities by sleeping next to you in that state. I will leave you in a moment to go to the guest room, but we must speak in the morning." he said.
Kagome laid back in the bed. "My sensibilities are far from delicate and I wouldn't want to abuse your hospitality by running you out of your own room. Don't mind me Sesshomaru, pretend I'm not even here." she said with a look of feigned innocence. Sesshomaru gave her a seductive smile as the subtle implication of her words washed over him. "As you wish." he said before he began to undress. Kagome watched as Sesshomaru stripped down to nothing and sauntered over to the bed. His body was perfection. It was as if he were sculpted by the gods themselves. He slipped into the bed and leaned on his side propping his head up on his hand to stare down at her. He draped his arm over her her waist. "I like to sleep on my stomach most nights. I wonder if you would prefer to sleep on your back?" he asked.
Molten heat pooled between her legs as his words filled her mind. Her breath quickened and she sat up again. His arm slid into her lap and she left it there. "I do. But since we are both getting comfortable, I would like to inform you that I also sleep in the nude." she whispered huskily. She watched as red slowly rimmed his golden orbs. She pulled the top of the pajama set over her head and exposed her breasts and their pointed rosy tips. He carefully avoided her bandages and pulled her to him. "Let me assist you." he said as he laid her back down against the silk covered pillows. He moved slowly and seductively between her legs and tugged at the elastic waist of the pajama pants.
Kagome moaned as he caught one rosy peak between his teeth as he slipped the pants down her legs. He gave the other a quick lick and kissed a trail down her flat stomach until he stopped at her white lace panties. "Mmmmm." he mumbled as he tossed the pants aside and used his teeth to rid her of the panties as well. Kagome gasped as he gripped the back of her knees and pushed until they almost touched her chest, then spread her legs wide. Her heart hammered in her chest as her arousal became a need. "You are dripping Kagome. Would you like me to clean up the mess?" he asked eyeing her from between her widely parted thighs. She was so aroused that all she could do was nod.
He began sucking and licking up the 'mess' and Kagome thought she was going to burst. She gripped the bedsheats and panted as she felt herself drawing close to an orgasm. Sesshomaru chuckled against her flesh. She looked down at him and when he caught her eye, he plunged his tongue inside of her. She cried out as her orgasm took her by surprise. Her body shook with the force of it. Sesshomaru climbed up her flushed body and covered her mouth with his own, letting her taste herself on him. "You will give me what I want tonight." he said. Kagome looked into his eyes and found them red. It seemed to do nothing other than arouse her further. She planted her hands on his chest and boldly began to touch him all over, memorizing the feel of his heated flesh. He let her touch him and moaned when she held his erection in her palm. Kagome's eyes shot to his in alarm. He was very large. Very, very large.
He smirked at her and gipped her hips, pulling her further down on the bed. As if she knew what he wanted, she let his member lip between her breasts and squeezed them against it. His smile was dazzling. He planted his hands on either side of her head and looked down at her as if waiting to see what she would do next. Emboldened by his reaction, Kagome licked the glistening tip. The smile changed into tortured pleasure. The power of her discovery was heady. She wrapped her lips around the tip and gave it a firm suck. He moaned and began to pant as she took more of him into her mouth inch by inch. Finally, when she had begun to feel as though she had gotten the hang of it, Sesshomaru, with lightning speed, flipped her over and drove into her from behind.
She cried out in pain at first, but her body began to quickly adjust to his size. Pleasure washed over her in waves so intense she had to force herself to catch her breath. He took the points of her breasts between his thumbs and forefingers and squeezed in rythym with his thrusts. She could hardly recognize the animalistic mewling that was coming from her mouth, but didn't care. He leaned over her and sucked on her earlobe, sending her over the edge into an intense orgasm. She almost screamed with the strength of it. Before she recovered, he flipped her over once again and sat back as he made her ride him. The more she looked at him, the more aroused she was and the better the feeling of him rubbing against her inner walls became. He nipped at her breasts and she felt another orgasm build inside of her.
This time he seemed ready to erupt with her and as she felt her body explode with pleasure, he ground her hips roughly down on his erection and spilled his seed into her. She collapsed against him and let him lay her down next to him and pull her back against his chest. He stroked her hair and waited for her to regain her composure before burying his face between her neck and her shoulder. They lay like that for a long while as they were too content to speak. Then suddenly Sesshomaru stiffened behind her. She turned and looked at him. "Is something wrong?" she asked. He sat up and looked down at her in shock and anger.
"You should have told me."
"What? What's the matter?"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Kagome sat up and stared at him in surprise and panic. "What didn't I tell you, Sesshomaru?" she asked worried. She grabbed his arms and pulled at them when he continued to stare at her.
"That you were a virgin."
Author's Note: Thank you for the reviews that I have recieved so far. (Especially Unistar) I am doing my best to show that even with Sesshomaru/Kagomes pairings, a good fanfiction is possible. Though I prefer this pairing, if I get enough reviews, I will do the classic Inuyasha/Kagome pairing next. I have ideas for a good story, I just need the inspiration from my readers to write it. Thanks again for reading. Please review.

"I didn't know youkai could be that cold to their children. I thought all youkai fiercely protected their families?" she asked. Sesshomaru had unbuttoned his shirt and hung it in the closet. "They do. Rin is human." he stated. Kagome's jaw dropped. The great Sesshomaru InuTaisho, who was known to all for his hatred of the human race, had saved and adopted a human child from the gutter. "You surprise me." she said. He turned to her and she got an eye full of his lean muscular chest. He was as beautiful, if not more so, without the clothes as he was with them. Kagura eat your heart out! "I surprise you? Did you think me that cold and heartless?" he asked with amusement. Kagome didn't take the bait. "I know you aren't as cold or heartless as you make yourself seem, but to adopt a human child? That even I wouldn't have thought possible." she said. He chuckled low in his throat and shrugged. "If you are averse to seeing me completely without clothing, I suggest you turn your head. I do not sleep with clothing and I don't want to offend your undoubtedly delicate sensibilities by sleeping next to you in that state. I will leave you in a moment to go to the guest room, but we must speak in the morning." he said.
Kagome laid back in the bed. "My sensibilities are far from delicate and I wouldn't want to abuse your hospitality by running you out of your own room. Don't mind me Sesshomaru, pretend I'm not even here." she said with a look of feigned innocence. Sesshomaru gave her a seductive smile as the subtle implication of her words washed over him. "As you wish." he said before he began to undress. Kagome watched as Sesshomaru stripped down to nothing and sauntered over to the bed. His body was perfection. It was as if he were sculpted by the gods themselves. He slipped into the bed and leaned on his side propping his head up on his hand to stare down at her. He draped his arm over her her waist. "I like to sleep on my stomach most nights. I wonder if you would prefer to sleep on your back?" he asked.
Molten heat pooled between her legs as his words filled her mind. Her breath quickened and she sat up again. His arm slid into her lap and she left it there. "I do. But since we are both getting comfortable, I would like to inform you that I also sleep in the nude." she whispered huskily. She watched as red slowly rimmed his golden orbs. She pulled the top of the pajama set over her head and exposed her breasts and their pointed rosy tips. He carefully avoided her bandages and pulled her to him. "Let me assist you." he said as he laid her back down against the silk covered pillows. He moved slowly and seductively between her legs and tugged at the elastic waist of the pajama pants.
Kagome moaned as he caught one rosy peak between his teeth as he slipped the pants down her legs. He gave the other a quick lick and kissed a trail down her flat stomach until he stopped at her white lace panties. "Mmmmm." he mumbled as he tossed the pants aside and used his teeth to rid her of the panties as well. Kagome gasped as he gripped the back of her knees and pushed until they almost touched her chest, then spread her legs wide. Her heart hammered in her chest as her arousal became a need. "You are dripping Kagome. Would you like me to clean up the mess?" he asked eyeing her from between her widely parted thighs. She was so aroused that all she could do was nod.
He began sucking and licking up the 'mess' and Kagome thought she was going to burst. She gripped the bedsheats and panted as she felt herself drawing close to an orgasm. Sesshomaru chuckled against her flesh. She looked down at him and when he caught her eye, he plunged his tongue inside of her. She cried out as her orgasm took her by surprise. Her body shook with the force of it. Sesshomaru climbed up her flushed body and covered her mouth with his own, letting her taste herself on him. "You will give me what I want tonight." he said. Kagome looked into his eyes and found them red. It seemed to do nothing other than arouse her further. She planted her hands on his chest and boldly began to touch him all over, memorizing the feel of his heated flesh. He let her touch him and moaned when she held his erection in her palm. Kagome's eyes shot to his in alarm. He was very large. Very, very large.
He smirked at her and gipped her hips, pulling her further down on the bed. As if she knew what he wanted, she let his member lip between her breasts and squeezed them against it. His smile was dazzling. He planted his hands on either side of her head and looked down at her as if waiting to see what she would do next. Emboldened by his reaction, Kagome licked the glistening tip. The smile changed into tortured pleasure. The power of her discovery was heady. She wrapped her lips around the tip and gave it a firm suck. He moaned and began to pant as she took more of him into her mouth inch by inch. Finally, when she had begun to feel as though she had gotten the hang of it, Sesshomaru, with lightning speed, flipped her over and drove into her from behind.
She cried out in pain at first, but her body began to quickly adjust to his size. Pleasure washed over her in waves so intense she had to force herself to catch her breath. He took the points of her breasts between his thumbs and forefingers and squeezed in rythym with his thrusts. She could hardly recognize the animalistic mewling that was coming from her mouth, but didn't care. He leaned over her and sucked on her earlobe, sending her over the edge into an intense orgasm. She almost screamed with the strength of it. Before she recovered, he flipped her over once again and sat back as he made her ride him. The more she looked at him, the more aroused she was and the better the feeling of him rubbing against her inner walls became. He nipped at her breasts and she felt another orgasm build inside of her.
This time he seemed ready to erupt with her and as she felt her body explode with pleasure, he ground her hips roughly down on his erection and spilled his seed into her. She collapsed against him and let him lay her down next to him and pull her back against his chest. He stroked her hair and waited for her to regain her composure before burying his face between her neck and her shoulder. They lay like that for a long while as they were too content to speak. Then suddenly Sesshomaru stiffened behind her. She turned and looked at him. "Is something wrong?" she asked. He sat up and looked down at her in shock and anger.
"You should have told me."
"What? What's the matter?"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Kagome sat up and stared at him in surprise and panic. "What didn't I tell you, Sesshomaru?" she asked worried. She grabbed his arms and pulled at them when he continued to stare at her.
"That you were a virgin."
