Infinite Possibilities
Chapter Six: Attractions, Hidden Lives and Irritations
Lucius Malfoy watched as the woman floated towards him on the wind. She was sitting on a giant feather that was casually drifting in the currents of the air. When she got close enough, the feather lowered to the ground and she stepped off, her small bare feet treading lightly on the grass. The feather shrunk down and she placed it into her upswept hair. Moving his eyes down her body, he watched as the slight wind seemed to swirl around her-it reminded him of a child seeking its mother for comfort. Looking up into her garnet colored eyes, he saw an amused expression on her face.
"See something that you like, Malfoy-san?" She said as she came closer to him. Her fingers tapped enticingly along the wood of the fan she always carried.
Lucius moved forward and took her hand, raising it to his lips. "I see many things that I like," he looked her up and down again, "you included." He kissed her knuckles softly.
Kagura shivered and removed her hand from his grasp. She'd never experienced that kind of feeling and for all her cunning ways, she had never willingly allowed a man to touch her. The only man who ever had touched her was Naraku-all he did was take and cause pain. But this man... Kagura averted her eyes away from him. She would never be free enough to experience anything that he was offering.
"I-I can-can't..." Kagura's voice came out in a sad whisper.
Lucius chuckled softly at her timid rejection. "As I said, my dear Kagura, I see many things that I like and you are included in those things. And once I set my sight on something, it is mine." Kagura let out a gasp at his declaration. He smiled a full smile and placed her hand on his arm. "Come, let us go inside and there you may tell me of what business brought you here."
Severus Snape was in his rooms grading papers. He could not believe the sheer idiocy of the students that stumbled into his classroom week after week. Except for a few attentive students, it was like the dunderheads did not even pay attention at all-no wonder they keep melting their cauldrons and botching their assignments. Shaking his head at the essay before him, he made another series of red slashes and didn't notice when a door opened and closed. So engrossed was he on the attack of the scroll under his quill, that his mind wasn't registering the presence behind him as it came closer. At the last second, he sensed someone and was tense for just a moment before relaxing under the soft hands that kneaded his shoulders. He groaned as they worked on a painful knot on his neck. A soft feminine laugh danced into his ears.
"Had another tough day, dear? Your shoulders and neck are particularly tight."
Severus only groaned in response and sighed when the small fingers dug into a stiff area on his left shoulder. The woman laughed again and reached down to take the quill from his grasp. She then placed a kiss on his cheek.
"The students were in fine form today. Four cauldrons melted, two explosions occurred and one student caused his potion to boil over and catch the table on fire. I thought my head would split open with the migraine that came on after classes let out for the day. I thought about making a stronger batch of the Headache Relieving Potion, but I took a nap instead. I was fine until I foolishly decided to grade the last of these papers-the idiocy I found in them brought it all back." He squeezed his eyes shut as the soft fingers massaged his aching temples.
"Well, I think a good night's rest is in order." She wrapped her arms around him, leaning her forehead against the back of his neck for just a moment. Severus sighed and turned around, then brought his wife up into his arms.
"Maybe we could trade classes for a day, just so you would know how it feels."
"Oh, but I love teaching the students how to read astrological charts and about the stars. You should know by now that I've loved the stars all my life and if you weren't out stargazing yourself that night, we would have never met."
Professor Astralis Noctu Snape leaned her head against her husband's shoulder as he carried her to their bedroom. Cuddling against her mate of three years, she smiled as he placed her down on the soft sheets of their bed. She quickly settled into the warm black covers and waited for her husband to get in next to her. When he got into bed, she waved her hand to make the lights go out. He snuggled up behind her, laying a soft kiss in her hair.
"And besides, Mr. Snape, excuse me, Lord Snape and Potions Master Extraordinaire, you love teaching whether they pay attention or not. It would take the fun out of being an utter bastard day in and out to the students if you weren't"
Severus let out a quiet laugh, one that rumbled against Astralis' back and into her heart.
"Alright, Mrs. Snape, excuse me, Lady Snape and Astronomy Mistress Extraordinaire, you have made your point. Now, it is time for rest and relaxation."
"Oh, is that right? You don't say...hmm...well if you say so." She turned in his arms and gave him lazy kiss. She laughed when she felt his hand pulling her nightgown up. "I thought that you were tired, dear."
"I am, but this is part of the relaxation." He slid his hand down her thigh to the knee and patted the soft skin. He leaned over and kissed her collarbone.
Astralis sighed at the sensation, deciding to give in-she always did. "You're a naughty man, my dear husband."
"Ah, but you wouldn't have me any other way, my dear wife."
It was mid-afternoon again and the beginnings of the weather change were starting to appear. The cool wind that pushed away the hot stale air of the summer was now settling into place. Everyone was starting to bundle up with light-weight jumpers, scarves and gloves to go with their school robes. Even the house elves were seen wearing more clothing than usual. It was already starting out to be a cold winter and summer was barely in the past.
After leaving the children in her room to sleep under the eye of a watchful house elf, Kagome and Kirara headed outside into the cool afternoon air. She just wanted to spend sometime without the children and think free of interruption. She didn't want to be bothered with the clamor of the castle and sought out peace in the outdoors. Finding a nice spot, she sat down in the pleasant sunshine and lay back in the grass. Kirara curled up next to her, keeping guard over the quiet miko. Kagome placed her fingers into the soft cream-colored fur of the neko and tried to relax. She soon drifted off to sleep under the watchful gaze of her companion.
Kagome...
Kagome's eyelids fluttered open at the sound of the voice. She turned her head towards the sound of the beckoning tone, trying to see who had called her name. Surprised, she moved her gaze around and saw that she was lying in a field of purple flowers that went as far as her eyes could see.
Kagome...
Looking behind her, she searched for the person who was speaking. There was nobody there and it was strange because their voice sounded so close to her ears. It was like they were whispering, yet they were far away at the same time.
"Who are you? Where are you?" Kagome got to her feet and spun around, but saw nothing but the flowers in every direction.
Kagome... you are mine...
"Who said that?" Her voice echoed over the flower field for miles. "What do you want?"
I want you...
"I-I don't even know who you are! Why are you-"
A man's fingers placed themselves over her lips. The rough skin of his fingertips caressed her lips before being removed. Kagome lifted her eyes to the face and gasped in fear. Naraku was the one who had been calling her, tempting her into his evil clutches. A smile settled over his face, his red eyes sparkling with amusement and something else that she couldn't decipher. Kagome tried unsuccessfully to push away from him by putting her hands on his chest. Naraku only laughed and brought her closer to him, stifling her with his hot body. When she tried to knee him, he caught her leg before she could make contact.
"You like to play rough, my dear? If I had known, we would have had so much more fun the last time I had you."
These words made Kagome's eyes to widen in fear. She began to struggle in Naraku's arms, desperately trying to wiggle and twist from the vise-like grip he had on her. She clawed at his arms, attempted to scratch his face and kicked him in the shins. But, Naraku seemed to enjoy the struggling she was making.
"Oh, keep struggling koi you're making it so much more exciting for me." He leaned down and slowly laved his tongue along her cheek. Kagome shuddered in disgust.
"You sick bastard! Let me go!"
He touched his lips to her ear, his hot breath whispering, "I will never let you go. You are mine."
"No! Leave me alone! I want nothing to do with you! I hate you!"
"Ah, but hate is so close to love." He laughed and the sound shivered down Kagome's spine.
Just when Naraku was going to speak again, Kagome was suddenly thrust away from him. A loud growling sound could be heard around the field. It was loud enough to make the ground move inside the dreamscape-Kagome knew that it was her chance to escape. Naraku turned to look at Kagome with a look of irritation on his beautiful face.
"It seems that our meeting will have to be cut short. You will not escape me, Kagome. I will have you."
With that Naraku disappeared and the world crashed into blackness.
Moments later, Kagome woke to see Kirara sitting on her chest with a concerned expression lighting her red eyes. Letting out a breath, Kagome tried to sit up only to find herself extremely weak. It was if her body had been completely drained of energy. Slowly getting to her feet, Kagome took but a few steps before collapsing to the ground. Kirara immediately changed to her larger form in a swirl of fire, but didn't catch the falling girl in time.
Kagome curled her fingers into the cat's warm fur. "Kirara, please go and get Sesshoumaru. I know that you can't lift me from the ground and I'm not able to climb onto your back. Please go and find him. I will be alright until you come back."
Making sure that Kagome was safe, the fire cat took off into the sky in search of the dog demon. She came across him as he was walking the grounds near a large playing field. Not caring about the humans that flew around on large sticks, she flew directly down into his path.
The Gryffindor team was finishing up the last few minutes of their afternoon practice. The whole team was up in the air doing play sequences and blocking tactics. Harry, searching for the snitch again, had been zooming around the pitch when he noticed a large cat flying in his direction. A flying cat?! Quickly pulling up on his broom, he stopped and watched as it flew by.
So did every one else. Including Hermione and Lavender, who had been sitting in the stands watching over the practice game. They all watched as the large cat ran by in the air, flames bursting from its feet as it moved. Their eyes focused in as it landed before the beautiful silver haired man who had casually strolled onto the field. They looked on as he communicated with the cat before taking off in a streak of silver and black.
Lavender turned to Hermione with wide brown eyes. "Did you see how fast he was moving? I didn't know anything or anybody could move that fast. All I could see was a streak and he was gone!"
Hermione's eyes had grown large as well. "That was... wow. He definitely moved pretty fast. He was across the pitch and out of the gates in less than 5 seconds! I wonder why he left so rapidly and was that Kirara?! I didn't know she could do that or fly!"
"Something was definitely wrong because he left so suddenly." Lavender said.
The two girls looked at each other trying to think of why Sesshoumaru had left so suddenly. They came to one conclusion at the same time, speaking their answer simultaneously.
"Kagome!"
They rushed down the stairs of the Gryffindor stands, quickly heading in the direction of where the fire cat had flown. They only hoped that they could get there in time to help.
Sesshoumaru had been walking when he heard the sounds of people shouting. He was curious of the noise and moved in its direction. Coming to a set of large doors, he pushed them open and saw a group of humans flying around on brooms.
'Ah... so this is the quidditch game that I've heard so much about. Interesting...'
As he made his way across to the end of the field, Kirara landed in front of him. She was mewing in a distressed fashion, a pleading look in her big red eyes. After a few moments, he understood.
"Show me where she is." The neko leaped into the air and he followed on foot. When she landed, he saw Kagome laying under the shade of a tree in a disturbing condition. She looked tired as if she had been drained of energy. He quickly knelt down next to her and placed a clawed finger on her neck. He relaxed slightly when he felt a soft pulse thumping under her skin. Picking her up in his arms, she mumbled and snuggled into his chest with a sigh.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Sesshoumaru noticed two girls heading his way. They slid to a stop before him with looks of worry on their faces.
"Is she alright?" The blonde asked.
"Is there anything we can do?" The bushy haired one asked next.
"She is fine, girl."
The girls relaxed in relief. The bushy-haired girl, Hermione, spoke up again. "I think that she needs medical attention."
"There is a medical area in this castle, am I correct?" The girls nodded. They turned and pointed to a high row of windows near the upper section of the castle. Just when they were about to talk again, a swirl of magic formed at Sesshoumaru's feet. He hovered off of the ground while Kirara changed in a flash of fire to her larger size. "I will take care of her myself. Do not worry."
Watching the man and fire cat fly away, Lavender and Hermione turned their eyes towards the sky in awe.
"Not only is he hot, but he can fly!"
"And without a broom, too!"
They both fell out in laughter before hurrying off back to the pitch to get Harry, Ron and Ginny.
Madame Poppy Pomfrey was just placing some medical potions into a cabinet when she heard an explosion of glass. Turning at the sound, she saw the tall silver-haired man that Minerva and Irma Pince had told her about the other night. He was holding the young woman in his arms, cradling her against his chest as he stepped through the window and into the room. She immediately bustled over.
"Would you mind giving me a restorative potion for her? Do not worry, I will watch over her in my rooms."
Normally, Poppy would have protested because it was required that she at least do a simple diagnostic test on every injured person who came into the Infirmary. She changed her mind quickly at the intense power radiating from the man before her. His calmly deadpan voice filled the air again.
"The restorative remedy, do you have it?" He arched an eyebrow.
Poppy jumped into action. "Oh right away." She turned and dug into the previously abandoned cabinet and pulled out a small vial holding a yellowish liquid. She also pulled out a piece of medicinal chocolate for later. "Here you are. Please send for me immediately if she has any complications." The man nodded and quickly left the room.
Poppy sighed and placed a hand on her chest. "Well, Minerva was right. He certainly is a fine specimen of a man. If only I was fifty years younger..." She smiled and turned to repair the shattered window before returning to the cabinet again.
Laying Kagome down on his bed, Sesshoumaru quickly placed her under the covers. She woke up long enough for him to pour the potion down into her mouth and remove her shoes. Kirara jumped onto the bed and curled near her feet with a soft meow as he adjusted the bed sheets. When he was about to leave and check on the children, Kagome cried out in a hoarse voice.
"No, don't leave! St-stay..."
Sitting down on the bed, Sesshoumaru placed a hand on her forehead. It was warm to the touch, a small spark of her miko energy jumping under his palm. Grabbing at his arm, she tugged at him until he was lying on the bed with her.
"Is this what you want?" He was now lying on his back with Kagome's head resting on his chest. She nodded against him before letting out a sigh and a few mumbled words.
"What did you say? Speak up."
"You make me feel safe. He'll stay away if you are with me."
"Mmm...and who are you talking about?"
"Naraku," Kagome sighed tiredly, "he can't get to me if you're here. Just hold me... Onegai shimasu."
Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around Kagome, cradling her body into his. He would keep her safe from harm. He stroked his fingers through her hair when he felt her body relax into sleep.
"Kagome... I will protect you from now on."
Kirara, still curled up at the foot of the bed, let out a soft meow of agreement.
Miles away, Naraku yelled in frustration and jealousy. He was so close to getting Kagome again and was enraged at the fact that she got away for a second time. He woke from the dreamscape with a massive erection and as he stroked himself into relief, plans of her capture flew through his mind.
"Soon," he moaned, "I will have you. Nothing will keep you from me."
Outside the door, a strangled cry of release could be heard. Kanna, who knew what he was doing, curled her lip in disgust at the sound. He was moaning over the girl, Kagome, again; it made her sick every time she heard him pleasuring himself. Moving quickly, the pale girl made it into the courtyard before she vomited. Wiping at her mouth, Kanna splashed water on her face at a near by water pump.
She could only hope that Naraku didn't use her sister to ease his lusts this time around. Her only escape from his sick attention was that she was a child. But one of these days, she feared that he might turn on her.
Kanna hoped that day would never come.
