His Past, Her Present, Their Future
Chapter 30 - Bliss

----------



Kagome laid her book on her chest and looked up at her silver-haired prince, a frown marring her brow. She was thinking again, which usually led to questions Sesshoumaru didn’t want to answer. He sighed and looked down into her eyes.

It had been a moon cycle since the Decennial Banquet, and life had been as quiet as it could be with Kagome around. They had spent most afternoons this way, in the garden, her head on his lap while he meditated and rested after his strenuous morning training. In the evenings, sometimes joined by his mother or father, they talked for hours at a time. Sesshoumaru had yet to become bored with any aspect of her, though he had found plenty of annoying quirks.

She asked far too many questions. How he was feeling, his opinion on her hair, what he was thinking at that precise moment…it went on and on. She pulled on his hair when she felt he wasn’t listening to her. She stomped her foot like a child when she was angry. She rolled her eyes at him at least daily, if not hourly. Her scowls wrinkled her forehead. If he made her mad enough, she would walk away and refuse to speak to him for hours at a time.

But through it all, everything he learned only endeared him further. He thought perhaps that this must be what love truly was: not to love besides a person’s faults, but to love them with them. He smiled and looked down at her. He hadn’t told her, but it was obvious to everyone that he was in love with the miko.

Now she was frowning again. He hated that, it made him want to rub her face until it smoothed again. He waited patiently for her to ask whatever she was going to ask.

“Sesshou?”

“Yes?”

& #8220;What will you do when I leave?”

He paused. They had avoided this conversation for good reason. He frowned himself, now, “Why do you ask?”

“I want to know. I know you will see me again…but it is a long time.”

“I will simply go about my duties until you return to me.”

“Sesshoumaru,” she sighed, raising her head from his thigh and sitting up, her forehead to his, “You say it like its so easy. I worry about you. Even for a youkai, several centuries is a long time. It will be like no time at all for me, but it is an eternity for you. I want to make sure you know what you’re doing in this.”

“I know what I am doing.”

“Sesshou…” she was using that tone again. The chiding one.

“Stop, Kagome. I am content to be with you, and if I must wait a millennia, then I must. I will not lose you to time. I doubt there would ever be another to fill your place.”

“What if one comes along? What if a demoness who is better than me, and more perfect to your wants than I ever was comes?”

He glared at her, “And what if I get run over by a hoard of kittens and chewed to death? What ifs are foolish things, and I will not answer them.”

“I just mean…I would want you to be happy. Promise me that if you find someone better you will go to her.”

Sesshoumaru sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Kagome…”

“Promise me, Sesshoumaru!”

“I promise you. But, obviously if I chose you over them you are the better one, ne?”

Kagome paused and smiled, one of her luminous ones that made his heart sing. He stole a chaste but lingering kiss from her and straightened up again, resuming his meditation. With that done Kagome laid back down and picked up her book, a novel from her own time. She smiled as she watched his stoic form. How had things come to this?

Fall would soon be setting in, and Kagome gazed wistfully at the cedar that overhung their position. Soon its leaves would begin to fall. Would she still be there to see the first snow grace the gardens? More and more she hoped so. She had found a home in this era, a place within the walls with Mattaki, Kaori, and Sesshoumaru. Her heart broke to know that once she left, she would never see the older youkai again. Both died such violent deaths, and far too early. A tear escaped Kagome’s eye unnoticed.

What would InuYasha think of this turn of events in her life? She wished she could speak to him again in her dreams, but she could not contact a spirit not yet having lived, let alone died. What would he say to know she was completely and wholly in love with his hated brother? Would he be happy for the happiness and contentment she had found? Would he be jealous? Would he curse at her for choosing Sesshoumaru of all people?

Kagome sighed heavily and closed her eyes. Yes, that is exactly what InuYasha would do. All of them, likely, but the last more than anything else. Would he be able to forgive her? She hoped he would, because no matter how much she loved him she would not give up this happiness even for him. She had never dreamed of being so complete. She was afraid, sometimes, of the strength of her own feelings. She had yet to utter the words to Sesshoumaru, afraid of what his reaction would be.

He heard her sigh and opened one golden eye, “What are you thinking of to make you so melancholy?”

She met his single-eyed gaze, “InuYasha. I was imagining what he would do to find out about you and I.”

“And what would he do?”

Kagome giggled, though without much mirth, “He would likely scream at me for a while about how stupid I was to be with you, remind you of the times you tired to kill me and him, use every curse word he knew, turn green from jealousy, then finally be happy that I was happy, I think.”

Sesshoumaru opened his other eye, “How many times did I try to kill you, and why would he be jealous?”

Kagome sighed, “Me personally, I am not sure…at least once very deliberately and almost successfully. I wonder…now that we are together this way I would think that memory would leave, or I would gain a new one to replace it…” she shrugged it off, “But you’ve tried to kill InuYasha dozens of times. Once you very nearly succeeded when you put your hand through his stomach. As for why he would be jealous…”

She had trailed off and Sesshoumaru rose an eyebrow expectantly. She continued after some thought, “InuYasha was my best friend. We traveled together for a long time…I was the first and only person he ever trusted completely. And had things been different, had Kikyou not been resurrected, had I not had her soul in the first place…perhaps I would not be here today.”

“Did you love him?” Sesshoumaru forced out the question.

“Hai,” she said slowly, “I did, but it was not meant to be. Our love was innocent, pure…I am not even sure if it ever could have evolved into anything romantic. I never will know. But the love I felt for him…” she choked off her words and shook her head, “It was not as romantic of a love as I thought it was at the time.”

Sesshoumaru exhaled, “I do not wish to offend you, but I am glad he did not see what he had in you. “

Kagome smiled and nuzzled into his stomach with her nose before sitting up, “Its almost dinnertime, Sesshou, we should go.”

They stood and walked back to the castle, hand in hand.

--

Kagome often wondered if she was changing anything. Coming here was obviously fate, but how had she changed the future? And if there were things changed, why didn’t she know about them? Surely her memories would have to be altered for a few instances, or she would have to be given a new set to go with the old. Perhaps the memories would not set in until she had left this time period? And if that was the case, would she remember the way things had been before?

There were a million possibilities, and Kagome shivered in her spot under the moonlight. What if she was wrong and things had changed drastically? Had she been meant to be with Sesshoumaru this way? She doubted it. If he cared for her like this, why would he have targeted her that day in Mattaki’s tomb? So then would, after she left, he find the girl who had been his first love, or had she taken her place in history?

What if, because of her relationship with him, he simply snatched her away from InuYasha immediately? Would he be so rash? Or would he just wait until their friendship, and tell her of their past together? Perhaps nothing would change and he would wait it out, knowing he risked keeping her from going back in time. If that were it, would he still be so cold?

There were so many questions, and very few answers to go with them. She shook her head, knowing she would have to wait to find them. She could not bring herself to regret this relationship; no use worrying over the consequences. Kagome shifted her weight from foot to foot as she waited for Sesshoumaru to join her; usually he was not this late.

She was amused that Sesshoumaru had told her to meet him here, on this balcony. It was the same she had fought with Gojou, and she once again found herself admiring the view. The placid lake looked inviting, and she fought the urge to run down through the stairs and halls to get to it.

Hands slid languidly around her waist in a playful fashion, sending a chill down Kagome’s spine. She looked up and smiled at him as he spoke, “Chichi-ue was informing me that we will be going south for a week.”

“Mou! Why?”

“Border checks, he is jaded to doing them alone, so he feels like torturing me would alleviate his boredom.”

Kagome sighed, “When do you leave?”

“Dawn.”

“Darnit,” Kagome said sadly, kicking a leaf that had settled within range.

“For tonight though, would you join me for a dip?”

Kagome turned around in his embrace, “My suit is ruined because of that stupid water sprite last time, remember? But it sounds lovely, I was just thinking that the night was balmy and it could be the last suitable time. But no, I will not go in nude, you wouldn‘t turn around last time you suggested that. Remember how that turned out?”

“Your ‘bathing suit’ showed just as much of your skin as your undergarments, wear them.”

Kagome narrowed her eyes, “When have you been looking at my undergarments?”

“I am youkai, we can be very stealthy,” Kagome turned maroon and hit a now laughing Sesshoumaru across the chest. He calmed himself, “But in all seriousness…you will be under the water, so why not?”

“Hentai…Will you let me get in without looking this time?”

Sesshoumaru didn’t want to, but sighed and nodded. Perhaps she wouldn’t notice if he peeked…

“And no peeking!”

Maybe she would. Well, she said nothing about when she got out. He hid his face in her hair and grinned wickedly. He enjoyed torturing his little miko far too much. He held out a hand to her and they descended through the castle and he held her as he leapt the gates. Within minutes they were on a secluded stretch of lakeshore and Sesshoumaru was refusing to turn.

“You are not getting in the water, you are undressing. You forbid me from looking while you were getting in.”

Kagome glared fiercely at him, causing him to shrink back out of habit. Her temper had shown itself several times and it was enough to strike fear into any youkai’s heart. He forced himself not to cower and sighed. He would have to turn. He kept his back to her while she pulled off her yakuta and folded it, her slippers on top, and sprinted to the waterline.

She tested the water with a toe, all the while keeping her eye on a certain hentai peeking-tom daiyoukai. It was cold. Really cold. She shivered, “Ano…it might be too cold.”

She glared and put her arms across her chest as he appeared beside her, but he was behaving and not staring. He touched the water, “You are being a child, it is fine.”

Kagome scoffed, “If it’s so nice, then you get in!”

Kagome’s face flushed and she couldn’t protest as he very resolutely began pulling off his clothing. She hardly managed to spin in the other direction as he began untying his hakama, earning her one of the laughs she loved so much, “Who is the hentai?”

Kagome growled, “You were the one divesting yourself of your clothing with me facing you.”

“You are the one aroused.”

“If I had a nose like yours, I am sure there are plenty of times you are.”

Sesshoumaru didn’t answer this; she was right of course. He grinned and approached her, running his claws up her spine gently, “Are you going to join me or not?”

She shivered, “Maybe.”

She should have known better. In an instant she was tossed over the shoulder of a very naked inu, and her face was having a rather close confrontation with his backside. Not that it was a bad backside. She snickered internally as she screamed and struggled externally. He laughed again and leapt into the chilly lake waters, leaving Kagome to kick to the surface sputtering, “Jerk!”

He grinned as he treaded water, “You don’t mind so much.”

She grinned back and they swam for a while, splashing and acting like children. It was nice to feel free, to ignore the plagues of everyday life and just mess about. She squealed as he would pick her up and throw her, and usually ended up dunked for his troubles.

Finally, the night getting later, Kagome began to tire. She turned to her prince and smiled somewhat sleepily and he approached her, a predatory gleam in his eyes, “Are you sure you want to get out?”

Kagome gulped and hesitated. That indecision was swiftly snatched by Sesshoumaru, who pulled her body flush to his. She gasped and he kissed her bruisingly, his tongue sweeping instantly into her mouth and her fingers tangling in his heavy, wet hair.

><><><

He pulled them towards shore just enough to ensure he could touch the sandy lake bottom before trailing his lips in openmouthed kisses across her jaw, down her neck, his fangs grazing her fluttering pulse. They merged, melted together in a symphony of ecstasy. Her head and neck arched away from him as he nibbled her collarbone, a low moan escaping her throat.

Her fingers traced invisible patterns across his shoulders and back, alternately stroking and digging into his skin. The water all but forgotten, she wrapped her legs around his waist and he groaned as his hips thrust against hers. His claws fell against the straps of her bra and he sliced them, doing the same between the cups. She didn’t even notice until the material fell away.

Kagome gasped, only her lace panties separating her from the firm expanses of his body. She dipped her fingers into the contours of his upper body, panting as his lips ran across her bare chest. Her body trembled under his caress.

She hadn’t even felt them move, but suddenly she was being laid on the shore, the water still lapping at her legs that he knelt between. With a tug she had his mouth on hers again, seeking and hungry, her body arching up to meet the heat radiating off of him.

As he pulled away from the searing kiss and began trailing his lips and tongue down her body Kagome hissed and he looked up in worry, only to see a look of bliss etched into her features. He ran his hands up her wet skin, over her hips and ribs, pausing on her breasts, and settled on her face. He cupped it between his hands and kissed her passionately, lovingly, trying to convey in his action the emotions he felt.

She returned the feelings, completely, fluidly, the foreign motions seeming second nature to her. Every touch, though hesitant, was natural and unashamed. Her small hands ran across the planes of his chest and stomach, over his narrow hips and around his back. His mouth set her afire everywhere it touched, her skin suddenly seeming too uncomfortable.

She freed herself as his tongue flicked across a budded nipple, throwing her inhibitions to the wind and living in the moment. She had never imagined such feelings, such sensations; the feelings of need, of required completion, of the desire to be filled.

Sesshoumaru’s hands trailed lower yet, her body reacting on instinct as her hips bucked into him at the first caress against a place yet untouched. She moaned loudly, music to his ears, and with the first entry within her, a single claw, the world went white.

><><><

Kagome awoke, peering around with a scowl. Moments before she had been experiencing heights and levels of pleasure she had only imagined…and now she was alone in a white room. Great. She kicked an imaginary rock and put her hands on her hips.

“Did I pass out, or did I just wake up from a lovely dream? Oh Kami, I hope I didn’t pass out! How embarrassing!”

“Child, I called you here. I have been attempting to for several weeks, but since I must contact you through the jewel it has been difficult. Only now that you relaxed so completely could I speak to you.”

Kagome whirled, her previous annoyance and embarrassment forgotten for an aching fear, “Midoriko?”

A/N: Poor things, interrupted by that damn Midoriko! They would have done it too, if not for that meddling priestess and her dang jewel too! >_> Lame. Sorry. XD
