Chapter 45: Coming Together

Kagome knew that Sesshoumaru would not mate her until the battles were won, and they were back on Western soil; he'd told her once that the only proper place for a demon Lord to take his mate was on his own lands.

She could accept that, though she wished it were not so in this moment - but there were other ways to bring her male pleasure, ways that didn't include consummation, and she decided to take advantage of her extensive knowledge of sexual acts and make him aware of just how knowledgeable she really was.

Virgin or not, her time was practically built on sex, and Kagome was nobody's fool - she'd picked up quite a bit from the internet, from friends, even from naughty manga.

It was time to put it to good use.

Looking up at him as he gazed down at her almost dazedly, she raised a hand and smoothed her finger along his crests lovingly.

"Do you trust me?" she asked softly.

"Always. Completely. Never doubt that, mate of my heart," he replied, voice just as soft.

"Then would you put me down, and remove your armor and swords?"

He narrowed his eyes on her. "Now is not the time for mating, Kagome, much as I wish it were otherwise."

"Trust me, my Lord, there are other ways. I beg leave to pleasure you - my heart pleads to do so." She blushed as he raised a startled brow. "I need to do this, Sesshoumaru... please?"

He gazed at her uncertainly for a few moments, and then nodded, his body heating at the happiness that flashed in her eyes when he did so - apparently, she really did want to do this.

"Very well, my onna." He set her down gently, not taking his eyes from her as he swiftly released the catches on his armor and removed it, then took his swords from their place at his side and laid them atop his armor.

Once he'd finished, Kagome smiled up at him, and reaching out a hand, seemingly withdrew a soft length of cloth from thin air, and laid it down on the ground. When he cast her a startled glance, she grinned mischievously.

"No point in being a goddess if I don't get some kind of perks out of it!"

He chuckled, and she stared at him, her eyes going soft and hazy. "I just love it when you do that," she said with a dreamy sigh. Shaking herself out of her temporary stupor after a few moments, she moved to him and began untying his obi, pushing him to sit on the length of cloth at the same time.

"What?" he questioned as she tossed his obi to the side, and began to spread open his haori. "What is it that you love?"

She leaned forward to nuzzle into his chest, closing her eyes and inhaling deeply, she answered him almost absently.

"When you laugh," she breathed. "It's so rare..." she trailed off, as she rubbed her cheek over his heart. Hearing his breath catch just made her burn hotter for him.

"I do not laugh often," he agreed quietly, as he enjoyed what her touch was doing to him. "There has not been much in my life worthy of laughter."

At that, her fingers clenched in his hair and she looked up at him with sparkling eyes. "Well, I'll just have to change that, now won't I?" she stated fiercely, then, after holding his gaze for several moments, she leaned back into him, and eyes sliding closed sensuously, she pressed an open-mouthed kiss to that same spot over his heart...

And from there, she began kissing, nipping, and licking her way down, losing herself in the taste and scent of the male she so desired.

His own eyes closed as he let himself go and just felt, something that he had never done before.

While it was true that he had had other females before, none had in any way been more than a quick rut for simple release, and because of that, there had never been a need for him to let go - or a desire to do so. Indeed, he'd never trusted another living being enough to give up any part of his control.

But with Kagome - he trusted her enough, and he wanted to do so - he wanted to let go... so he did.

She was his little goddess, and he knew that he could be himself, he didn't have to hide from her.

With that in mind, he did something he'd never done before - ever; he laid back and gave over control to another.

It was the ultimate trust; the ultimate submission.

And Kagome realized it.

Her heart almost burst from her chest, and she made a vow then and there - never, in any life, would he ever regret that he had done this - that he had shown her such trust. She would die first, give up her soul, even have it completely destroyed before she'd ever betray the trust he'd just given her.

Heart beating fiercely, she quickly had his hakama loosened; the ties came away easily, and she lowered the front of the old-fashioned pants, then with his help, removed them entirely. She kept her eyes averted until the cloth was completely gone, and then...

Her cheeks heated as her eyes ran up a fully naked alpha male, desire sending fire through her as she took in the magnificence that was Sesshoumaru.

He was a god - a painted, glorious god, and with no other thought in her head, she worshipped at his altar with hands and mouth, leaving no part of him untouched... unloved.

Sesshoumaru didn't know what had hit him.

The feelings being engendered by this woman were nothing like he had ever experienced before, and his youkai blood was rising, called by the scent of his female - and her desire.

But despite the fact that he was losing control to his baser half, his blood did not become angered at his submissive posture - instead, his beast was enjoying what his female was doing.

That fact left him even more stunned than what she was doing to him.

All of that, however, flew out the window the moment he felt her mouth on his erection.

Suddenly, there were no thoughts in his mind - there was only sensation, and he actually roared as his blood beast surged forward and took control. The wet, tight heat of her mouth slowly stroking over his flesh was mind-numbingly erotic, and his eyes flashed red entirely, losing any semblance of humanity that they'd ever had - he was all Inu in that moment...

And all hers.

Kagome smiled as well as she could around his massive staff, pleased with his reaction as she glanced upwards and caught the red eyes and feral expression of her youkai Lord. With a wicked light in her eye, she began humming as she moved her head back and forth over him.

His hips bucked up in shock as the vibrations rolled over him, and she moved a hand down and began to fondle his sack, gently rolling the delicate testes around her hand as he growled so deeply that it actually left a vibration in the air around them.

She chuckled inwardly - if there was any living thing around the area when they started this, there certainly wasn't now... he'd just scared everything away with that warning.

She could tell that he was fighting not to thrust himself into her mouth, trying not to hurt her, and she decided that that had to stop - she wanted him to lose control. After all, she was a goddess now, so if she needed to stop breathing for a few, and needed to open her throat more - well, if it was for his pleasure, she was more than willing to do it.

She was eager, actually, and with that, she let him slide all the way into her throat, and swallowed. It wasn't the easiest thing to do, as he was quite large, but it wasn't impossible, and as she felt his pleasure, the ecstasy she was giving him, it made it all the easier.

Swallowing around his flesh again, she watched, spellbound as he threw his head back and snarled, helpless in her hands, and realized that she'd never been more aroused in her life. Giving him this, seeing how she was affecting him, was the greatest aphrodisiac ever created.

Speeding up, she was almost in as much need for him to find completion as he was, humming on the backstroke, then swallowing once he was all the way in, she could tell it would only be moments more before he came, and she pulled back, took in a deep breath of air as she swirled her tongue around the sensitive head, then took him back in, all the way, and swallowed again.

That was all it took.

Letting loose a cry the likes of which she'd never heard from any throat before, silver hair cascaded around them both as he tightened up, arching forward into her mouth, and with an all over shudder, came, clawed hands actually digging deep furrows into the hard ground beneath him.

For endless moments he was suspended there, every muscle tight, trembling, as she swallowed every drop of his essence, and then suddenly, he slumped, every bit of energy in his body just gone.

With a husky chuckle, Kagome finally pulled away, and licked her lips before swallowing once more. Rubbing one hand up each leg, up to his torso, she moved up his body, and hovered over him, waiting for him to open his eyes and look at her.

When he did, she smiled to see that his eyes still swirled with crimson, though there was some gold beginning to seep back in. "I take it you enjoyed that, then," she grinned, and he was mesmerized by her plump, bruised lips so close to his own.

Yanking her down into a desperate kiss, he tasted her, not bothered by his own taste in her mouth one bit - to him, the taste of them both combined was divine ambrosia, and he growled, letting her know his contentment.

When he pulled away, he asked, "Tell me, miko," his voice rough with passion that hadn't diminished even a little, "where did you learn such a thing?"

"Where I'm from, that's just knowledge that you can get anywhere - there are detailed 'instruction manuals', as you call them," she grinned mischievously, "on every kind of sexual act imaginable. Most women my age actually have a great deal more knowledge than I do - and more experience. That was the first time I've ever done anything like that."

At that, his head dropped back onto the blanket under him, still trying to even his breathing out. If she is that good, with no experience... the thought was mind-blowing.

"I had never heard of such a thing, let alone tried it, miko, so we are even on that 'experience'," he said softly.

Kagome blinked, surprised. "You mean... you've never had anyone do that for you before?"

He cocked an amused brow at her, though his face remained oddly expressionless. "Have you never noticed the fact that female demons have fangs, Kagome? What male would be willing to get such sharp appendages near such... tender... flesh?"

"Huh," she huffed out, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Never thought of that."

His face lost its expressionless cast, a serious light entering his eyes. "I can only be grateful that you have never done these things with another, Kagome - if you had, I think that I would have gone insane with jealousy." He sounded a little put out to be admitting such a thing, but she could tell he meant it.

"Well, it's a good thing that you don't have to worry about that, then, isn't it? I don't ever want to do anything like that with anyone else, either." Her face also got serious, as she stared into his eyes, letting her feelings for him shine out at him.

He cupped her cheek with his palm, and moved himself to sit up slowly as he backed her up, but when he went to slip her clothes from her, she grabbed his hand, shaking her head.

"No, anata," she whispered huskily, rubbing her nose along his, wanting him to understand that this wasn't a rejection. "This was for you - I got my pleasure this night from giving you pleasure - and I want no more than to be held by you as we rest. Do you understand?"

And strangely enough, he did.

She sat on the blanket she'd conjured from thin air, and watched as he redressed, then curled up to him as he flew them back to the well-clearing, and the two children that slept there, waiting for their return.

Once there, he removed his armor, then settled with his back to the well, again, and took her back into his arms. She curled up to him with a content little purr that had him almost smiling, and closed her eyes, feeling safe, warm, and most of all - loved.

She was asleep within minutes, but Sesshoumaru...

He stayed awake that night, and spent every minute of it watching her.

---wWw---

Touran ran at the head of the group of hanyou that had come to join the fight against Ungai, a sardonic expression on her face as she thought of what Sesshoumaru would think of this twist.

Ironically enough, she had the feeling that his reaction wouldn't be what it would have been even a year ago - she was pretty sure that now, he would meekly accept their presence and add them right into his strategies. Before, he'd have sooner killed them all than look at them.

Things were very different now...

She herself, while largely indifferent to half-demons, had never really been around them, nor had she sought out their company at any time in her life. Now, she had a feeling that their presence would be very useful in the coming battle.

It had not escaped her notice that a half-demon would be much more effective against spiritual powers than a full-demon. After all, if they were hit with purifying power, they would merely have their youki temporarily taken away... they would not die.

She had, at that point, to grudgingly admit that, in this case, a half-demon was superior to a full-demon... they could survive what would kill a full-demon.

That did leave a rather sour taste in her mouth, though. No full-demon wanted to ever admit that a half-demon might have one up on them.

It would be very amusing, though, to point such a thing out to Sesshoumaru - that little fact would annoy him no end - and the expression on his face might even be worth the little bit of humiliation actually admitting such a thing out loud would bring.

That made her chuckle, and as she began to slow as they approached the village, she admitted that she would be willing to endure almost anything for the chance to get under Sesshoumaru's skin.

With a quick glance at the night sky, she noted the lateness of the hour, and decided that it would probably be best to take the group somewhere to make camp - away from the village and the other demons around.

Better to wait until tomorrow to take them in - no point in starting any fights tonight.

She cast around for an empty clearing large enough to hold the group, and as soon as one was located, steered everyone in that direction. It only took minutes for them to arrive in her chosen area, and she finally came to a halt as the group of half-demons stopped behind their seeming leader.

Taka looked around at the place the panther had brought them, and nodded shortly. It was large enough to hold his people, and he scented no danger. It would do for the rest of the night.

"I take it that the village close to here is the place where everyone is gathering, since there is such a large demonic presence surrounding this place. When will we meet with the rest of the forces against Ungai?"

"I will take you to Lord Sesshoumaru in the morning, be ready at first light," she said. "There will be a council of war just after, so it will be well for you to speak to him beforehand."

"That is well. If you will excuse us, then, we will rest here."

Touran's brow nodded at the shortness of his answer, but shrugged and turned to leave. "Rest well, then."

Taka watched the panther demoness disappear into the midnight shadows beneath the trees, and then turned to face his friends. Everyone relaxed a bit as the full-demon's presence faded, and the group dispersed, everyone finding comfortable spots to sleep.

He himself perched against a tree trunk near the edge of the clearing, and watched as everyone settled down silently. He noticed a couple others taking up a position of watch, as well, and chuckled inwardly. Even without speaking, they all watched each others backs. It was the way of things for half-demons.

He leaned his head back and sighed, then. Maybe someday, things would change, but for now...

For now, it's time for demons and half-demons to put aside the infighting we've indulged in for so long, because this menace is much more dangerous.

It's odd, though... that panther... she didn't seem to be upset by our mere presence, and didn't react with the customary revulsion at our proximity. Perhaps...

Perhaps some things are already changing.

I suppose we will see the truth of that tomorrow, when we face Lord Sesshoumaru.

If there is ever to be any change, it will have to start with him, as the most powerful demon alive, and the biggest half-demon and human hater, if he cannot move past it, then there will enver be any peace.

I wonder if the rumors are true? That he has chosen a mate... and a human one, at that?

He found himself very much looking forward to tomorrows meetings.

---wWw---

Inuyasha had spent the rest of the night watching the others sleep, and thinking.

They had agreed that it would be fastest to all travel together on the feather - it could get them back to Sesshoumaru within a few hours, and even at his top speed, he would take more than a day.

Much as he hated to admit anything that could be considered a weakness, in this instance, he couldn't be bothered - what Kanna had discovered was far, far too dangerous to be withheld.

Sesshoumaru and Kagome needed to know what was going on immediately.

Sosa-no-wo... why is it we always get stuck with opponents that are larger than life? This is ridiculous! If the gods wanna fight over who's the boss, why don't they just keep it in their own realms?

He settled back a bit against the cave wall after tossing a bit more wood on their fire. Glancing out of the cave mouth, he could see the light of false dawn, and knew that they would need to leave soon.

With a sigh, he cast a sidelong glance over at the sleeping sorceress, and frowned sulkily to himself. He couldn't seem to stop looking at her, and it was getting annoying.

Why is my mind stuck on that wench, anyway? She's a helluva lot of trouble in one rather small package. So why do I keep thinking about her? As if I don't have enough trouble in my damn life - I sure don't need any more.

He snapped his eyes away from her, and looked out at the sky again, trying to force himself to think of other things.

It didn't take long, however, for his eyes to wander back to the sleeping Nyoko...

Kanna just sat in the back of the cave with an unreadable expression, and a mirror that was oddly glowing.

---wWw---

A/N: And there's the next chapter. Wonder what mischief Kanna's getting up to with that mirror of hers?

You know... Touran might be Rumiko's brainchild, but as I develop her character, I'm really beginning to like her...

Hope everyone enjoys the chapter,
