Chapter 11

 

“When I said that you were mine, Kagome, I meant it,” he paused as she turned to face him, “with every drop of blood in my body.”

 

Kagome lifted her face to search his eyes for the truth. Sesshomaru dropped his lips to meet hers in a kiss that was slightly more that innocent. He was surprised that she didn't pull away from him but instead, she kissed him back. He teasingly bit her lower lip, urging her to let him explore her mouth with more passionate kisses. She was a little hesitant, but she complied. As his hands roamed up her back, she shivered involuntarily. Her breath caught in her throat as he caressed her breast through the fabric of her shirt.

 

Kagome pulled away from him. She turned away and looked out into the darkness while she caught her breath. She was afraid.

 

 

“Kagome,” he whispered huskily as he pressed his lips to the back of her neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back to him. She leaned back against him and bared her neck to his kisses. He showered gentle kisses upon her neck and the hollow of her throat. He kissed behind her ear, causing her to shiver. Kagome closed her eyes and brought one of her hands up behind her to caress Sesshomaru's hair as she moaned quietly. Sesshomaru slowly unbuttoned her shirt, leaving it open to reveal her flat stomach. She quivered and tensed as he slipped his hand down the front of her pants and brought it to rest on her abdomen. He sensed that she was scared, so he turned her around to face him. He took her fingers and helped her to remove his own shirt.

 

Sesshomaru took his hands and cradled her face. He kissed her again, tenderly, waiting for a response. Kagome kissed him back as they reclined on the soft grass. He took her hand and placed it over his heart. “Not everyone wants to hurt you, Kagome,” he whispered. “There <i>are</i> people you can trust. You can trust <i>me</i>.” After feeling the beat of his heart and the warmth of his skin, she began to relax against him.

 

 

 

Sesshomaru moved her shirt open to reveal her firm breasts. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. Then he kissed her nose. He pressed his cheek against hers as he nibbled on her ear, causing her breath to catch in her throat. Sesshomaru smiled at her mischievously and then kissed her lips again briefly before moving on to her throat. He tickled her throat with his husky kisses. She felt his warm breath as he trailed his kisses down her neck and onto her chest. Her nipples were hard from the cool night air. Sesshomaru took one of them into his mouth and kissed on it tentatively. Kagome gasped as sensuous new feeling began to course through her body. She put her arms around Sesshomaru, forcing him to move closer. She could feel the hard length of him trapped beneath his jeans as it rested against her thigh, so she instinctively unbuttoned his jeans. He took her other breast into his mouth and sucked on it gently until she thought she could take no more.

 

“Do you want me to stop?” he asked her as he kissed her lips again.

 

“No,” she replied softly as he kissed behind her ear.

 

Sesshomaru began to kiss a trail across her stomach, circling his tongue teasingly around her bellybutton. He carefully unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them open to reveal her belly. He kissed her on her belly as he tugged at her pants until they slid off easily. Kagome gasped with pleasure as he kissed the wiry hair at the juncture of her thighs, slipping his tongue between her folds to caress the pearl hidden there. Kagome was taken by surprise by the delicious reaction that it caused.

 

Sesshomaru removed his pants as he moved back up. Their lips met in a tender kiss that quickly became heated and passionate. Kagome began to explore his body with her hands as he explored her mouth with his own. Kagome slid her fingers across his chest and down his shoulders, causing him to shiver. Then she trailed her curious fingers down to the center of his desire. Sesshomaru let out a tortured groan as her hand brushed against it. Kagome took it into her hand and caressed the hard, smooth length of him.

 

Sesshomaru pulled her closer to him and kissed her swollen lips. She parted them to Sesshomaru's probing tongue. She twined her tongue with his and was rewarded with a delicious moan. He trailed his fingers along the length of her body, tickling and teasing her as he explored her beautiful mouth with his kisses. Sesshomaru slipped his hand between her thighs and massaged her with the palm of his hand until her juices began to come forth and she whimpered softly with pleasure.

 

Sesshomaru moved himself between her legs as he rolled on top of her. He gently kissed her as she pulled his face down to her. He kissed her harshly, with passion, as he thrust himself into her yielding body, not realizing until it was too late what he had just done. Kagome cried out as he thrust himself into her. Sesshomaru bit his lip and looked at her, fearing he had hurt her. But what he saw was a blend of pleasure and pain. He gently kissed the tears from her luminous green eyes as he allowed her body time to adjust.

 

 

“Are you ok?” he asked softly. “I'm sorry. I didn't know,” he apologized. “I didn't mean to hurt you.”

 

“It's alright, Sesshomaru,” she replied, shaken. “Just so many feelings.”

 

“Relax,” he instructed as he showered gentle kisses upon her throat. “The pain goes away fast.” He felt her trembling beneath him.

 

“Mmm...” was the only response he received as she relaxed. He began to slowly move inside her, causing her to gasp from a heady mix of feelings. Kagome moaned with pleasure, forgetting all about the initial pain. She found that she wanted as much of his length as she could take. Of course, Sesshomaru gave her what she desired quite willingly. He wrapped her legs around him and rolled over so that she was on top.

 

“Aaah,” she cried out as her body adjusted to the entire length of him. He sat up and pulled her to him, again taking one of her nipples into his mouth and sucking on it gently as he thrust up into her. Kagome threw her head back and cried out as she urgently clung to him. Sesshomaru slowed himself a little, wanting to give her as much pleasure as he could.

 

Sesshomaru looked at her as they moved together. He had never seen anything more beautiful than she was at that moment. Her eyes were wild with emotions as he moved inside her. The firelight and the moon reflected on the fine sheen of perspiration that beaded on her skin.

 

Kagome began to feel emotions that she never even dreamed were possible. Tears built in her eyes as her body tensed and Sesshomaru began to thrust harder. She looked into his eyes desperately and cried out as her body began to convulse around him. He cried out as they found release together.

 

----------------------

 

 

They laid there together for a while, their bodies satiated. They both knew that this would be their only night together. Both of them had things to think about. Sesshomaru had to think of a way to convince her to stay with him; or if he couldn't, he would have to find a way to live without her. Kagome was trying to sort through the confusion that had been created within her. She wanted to stay with Sesshomaru, and she knew that if she left, there would be an empty place in her heart. But, if she decided to stay, Sesshomaru would eventually have to return to Arizona where she was wanted for a murder that she did not commit and would soon be wanted for one that she had. If she was with him when he returned to Arizona, there would be hell to pay, for both of them. No, she decided, it would be best for both of them if she stayed at the reservation. Kagome drifted off to sleep, naked in Sesshomaru's arms.

 

“What have I done?” he asked himself as he looked at her lying peacefully in his arms. For the first time in his life, Sesshomaru regretted doing something. “I didn't believe her when she told me the truth about Naraku, and now I have taken something that can never be replaced. God,” he said as he shook his head, “I hope she doesn't regret this in the morning.”

 

Sesshomaru got up to retrieve a blanket from his bike. It was a bit chilly. As he covered Kagome, he paused to look upon her. She looked so beautiful and innocent lying there in the moonlight. Her dark hair seemed to glow as it reflected the firelight. “She is so different from any other girl I've ever known,” he thought as he lay back down with her. He rested her head in the crook of his arm. “She is so beautiful and completely natural. She is strong and at the same time, she's sensitive. Maybe that's the reason I want her to trust me. That might be what makes her so special to me. Maybe that's why I need her so badly. And maybe, that is the reason…” he thought as he drifted off to sleep, “that I love her.” He draped his arm protectively over her.

 

 

Sesshomaru woke Kagome in the early hours of the morning. When he woke and saw hundreds of falling stars streaking across the sky, he knew she should see it. He gently woke Kagome, who was sleeping silently at his side. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. Kagome was utterly speechless at what she saw. Her eyes seemed to light up and she smiled as she watched the stars shoot across the cobalt sky.

 

Sesshomaru smiled and leaned over to kiss her. He kissed her behind her ear and then on the nape of her neck. Kagome kissed him on his throat and his neck as he breathed warmly against her cheek. Kagome ran her fingers down his back as she embraced him. He tickled her breasts with his tongue while she ran her fingers through his hair, pulling him closer to her. He lavished kisses upon her breasts making her moan softly. She arched her chest toward him. He slipped his hand down between her thighs, rubbing her pubic mound with his palm. Kagome moaned as he rubbed her clitoris with his fingers. She reclined back onto the grass pulling Sesshomaru down to her. She kissed him passionately as his lips met hers. Sesshomaru rolled over to cover her body with his. She eagerly opened up to him, like a flower to the morning sun. Sesshomaru entered her carefully, knowing that she was probably a little sore from her first time. She thrust her hips up to meet him, but he was careful not to go too fast. She wrapped her arms around his chest and held him to her as he thrust into her body.

 

Kagome moaned softly as he reached down and grabbed her buttocks and squeezed them, lifting her up to give him more access. Then he rolled her over so that she was sitting astride him again. He thrust gently up into her as she leaned over to kiss him. Her hair cascaded down around her face like a curtain of darkness, surrounding them in its softness. Sesshomaru caressed her breasts as she rocked her hips back and forth. Sesshomaru held himself in check until he felt her body begin to tense. Then he rolled her back over and looked at her face. She closed her eyes and parted her lips, whimpering softly, begging for him to kiss them. Sesshomaru cradled her face with his hands, twining his fingers in her hair and kissing her passionately. Kagome did the same as he thrust savagely into her eager body. Tears filled her eyes as they found release together once more.

 

Exhausted, Kagome relaxed in Sesshomaru's arms and closed her eyes, sighing softly. Sesshomaru pulled the blanket back over them and lay down beside her. He had never felt more alive in his life...nothing in his life had ever felt so right; and as he lay there watching the morning sun lighten the sky, he knew with more certainty than he had ever felt, that his life would never be the same - with or without her.

 

--------------------------

 

 

When Kagome woke shortly after dawn, Sesshomaru was nowhere to be found. She sat up and looked around finding her discarded clothes lying folded neatly at her feet. The fire was cold and the bike was packed, except for the blanket that was covering her. Kagome moved to pick up her clothes, but noticed the soreness between her thighs. She gingerly stood and began to get dressed. She looked out across the lake as she stretched in the morning sun, unaware that Sesshomaru was standing behind her, watching her every move. She bent over to pull on her jeans and Sesshomaru's breath caught in his throat as the morning sun silhouetted her body. She rifled through her backpack to find a clean shirt, still unaware that Sesshomaru was watching her. She finally found the top she was looking for and stood to put it on. As she raised her arms to slip on the shirt, she let the soft cloth of it caress her breasts, covering them ever so slowly. Sesshomaru bit his lip and turned away, knowing that he should never have touched her, but even as he walked away, the thought of her innocent kisses aroused him.

 

He walked back into camp after Kagome was finished dressing. She sat alone on the edge of the bluff overlooking the lake below. Sesshomaru sat down beside her. She didn't look at him. She said nothing. She just looked out across the lake, watching the waves lap against the shore with a steady and hypnotic rhythm. Sesshomaru took her hand and gently squeezed it, causing her to bite her lip.

 

“Kagome…” he started.

 

“No,” she cut him off, still refusing to look him in the eyes. Sesshomaru leaned over a little, trying to look her in the eyes, to find the truth. But as she turned her face away from him, he could see the tears she was fighting to control. She was going to stay at the reservation. He started to protest, but she silenced him with a gentle finger upon his lips.

 

Sesshomaru wrapped her in the safety of his arms. He placed his lips over hers in a kiss that was not passionate, but filled with profound sadness. They sat there and looked out across the land as the morning sun blanketed it in golden light.

 

 

As they prepared to leave, sometime later, neither of them said a word, both fearing what might be said. Something special had happened to them, and neither of them was sure that they understood it. Sesshomaru was certain that he did not want to spend his life without her, but it didn't look as if she was going to give him a choice. Kagome only knew that there was something in her heart that she didn't understand, something that hadn't been there a week and a half earlier.

 

Sesshomaru started his bike and cleared his throat. He extended his hand to her as she turned to face him. She wouldn't look him in the eyes as she took his hand and climbed onto the bike behind him. Kagome wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her cheek against his back as they descended from their mountain top paradise to once again plunge into the harsh reality of the real world.

 

They rolled back out onto the highway and headed for the interstate. Once they reached the interstate, they turned toward Rapid City, where they stopped for gas. Still neither of them spoke. Kagome still avoided making eye contact as well. Sesshomaru tried to embrace her, but she pulled away, leaving Sesshomaru feeling horrible. He guessed that she was probably regretting what had happened between them. He began to feel guilty, feeling like he had taken advantage of her. Kagome was fighting her own demons, wrestling with the decision she had made. She kept telling herself that it was best for both of them if she went her own way...but her heart was breaking for her choice.

 

They got back on the bike and continued east on the interstate. They turned south when they reached Highway 63, about an hour or so later. It was a long and desolate highway with not too much to look at. Sesshomaru tried to think of a way to convince her not to leave him, but in the end, he couldn't. Kagome tried not to think about anything, but in the end, all she could think about was how right she had felt in Sesshomaru's arms. As they crossed the border onto the Rosebud Indian Reservation, Kagome cried silent tears. Sesshomaru could feel them as they soaked into his t-shirt, and they made him feel even worse.

 

 

Sesshomaru stopped at a deserted gas station in Rosebud to let her get off. He climbed off his bike and turned to face her. Kagome tried to walk away, but Sesshomaru grabbed her hand. Sesshomaru noticed several people watching them from the 7-11 across the road, but he didn't care. He pulled her to him, but she looked away. He tilted her chin up to see the overwhelming sadness in her eyes. He could see that it went straight to her heart.

 

“Are you sure this is what you want?” he asked, hoping she would change her mind.

 

“Things will only get worse if I hang around,” she replied.

 

“You're worth it,” he said as Kagome tried to pull away from him. “Ok. Here,” he said as he took out his wallet. “Here is half of what you paid for my fine. I'll send the rest to your grandfather when I get back to Arizona. Don't argue with me. Just take it. It should be enough to get by on. And here is my address and phone number where I can be reached if you ever change your mind. If I ain't there, leave a message.” He got back on his bike. “Kagome, please come…”

 

`Sesshomaru, don't.” She cut him off. “Please don't make this any harder than it has to be.”

 

He pulled her to him one more time as he took off his necklace. It was a choker made from bone with an oval of shell with silver and red turquoise beads dangling from the center. It was beautiful and obviously very old. Sesshomaru placed it around her neck and tied it. “Wear it in good health, Kagome.” He leaned forward and gently kissed her lips. “I love you, Kagome,” he whispered as their lips met.

 

“I love you too,” she whispered back. At that moment, she could have sworn that she saw tears roll down his cheeks.

 

“I'll come back for you, Kagome...We'll be together again someday,” he told her as he pulled back out onto the highway. He left Kagome standing alone at that deserted gas station - and it was one of the hardest things he had ever done.
