InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Perfect Demon ❯ Fresh Blood ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter 3: Fresh Blood

 

Kagome slept in Shippo's room, but he didn't mind since he didn't need sleep anyway. Sesshomaru seemed to mind a lot though. He refused to leave the front of the bedroom door, because Kagome had locked him out and Sesshomaru didn't want to have to replace the door if he broke it down. Inuyasha chuckled watching his brother stare emotionlessly at the door. What a lovesick puppy he was.

 

Sesshomaru growled at his brother to leave and then the door opened. Kagome pushed past Sesshomaru going to the bathroom. She washed her face to wake up more and then went to the kitchen. She felt hungry, but she didn't know what to eat.

 

“Inuyasha, what am I supposed to eat? I'm hungry,” Kagome stated. Inuyasha got her a glass of water and told her to drink it. He was going to test her. If she could hold the water down then she could eat a diet of human food and blood. If she couldn't hold it down then she could only eat a demon diet. Kagome instantly threw up the water and coughed.

 

“Looks like we are going hunting tonight. Come. I'll show you where we can go.” Kagome nodded and followed Inuyasha into the night. They walked down the street and then Sesshomaru appeared in front of them.

 

“Where are you taking her?”

 

“Hunting. She's hungry. Now move,” Inuyasha snapped getting annoyed with his older brother.

 

“I'll take her.”

 

“No, I'm taking her. She asked me, so she's going with me.” Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and they walked passed Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru didn't like this one bit and gripped her other hand.

 

“Whom would you rather go with Kagome?” he asked. Kagome looked at him confused.

 

“Let's just all go. I don't want to fight about this and I'm really hungry,” Kagome said, squeezing Sesshomaru's hand tightly, giving him a hidden message underneath it. The three of them made it deep into the wilderness that was behind their house.

 

“There are a lot of animals back here at night. It should be okay to hunt here.”

 

Kagome smiled and then took off running. She followed the scents of all the different animals until she came across a black bear. It smelled delicious and Kagome decided this was her meal, until two cubs came into the picture. Kagome couldn't kill a living thing. It was just too cruel. Another demon appeared ready to attack the bear, but Kagome wouldn't allow it.

 

Kagome darted out and blocked the bear from danger as the demon charged. Lesson number one, don't run out in front of a hungry, hunting demon. Kagome was thrown to the side as Sesshomaru knocked her out of the way. He took on the demon to keep Kagome out of danger. Inuyasha went to help his brother by tackling the demon. Kagome suddenly felt a strong force hit her and she realized that Sesshomaru was carrying her to safety.

 

“Never get in between a demon and its meal!” Sesshomaru snarled after they landed in a tree.

 

“I didn't want to cubs to be without a mother!” Kagome yelled. Inuyasha and the other demon smashed into a neighboring tree, knocking it down. Kagome caught the scent of blood and looked at Sesshomaru he was bleeding from multiple wounds. She gasped and went to touch him. He growled before jumping down to finish off the offending demon. Kagome followed and saw that Inuyasha was perfectly fine, with no wounds.

 

“Here Kagome. You can drink his blood.” Inuyasha pushed Kagome toward the demon Sesshomaru just beheaded. She was disgusted, but the blood was too tempting to give up. She bent knelt down to the body and licked at the neck. Sesshomaru watched her intently, listening to every noise of pleasure she made as she ate her fill. When she was done she stood back up and looked at Sesshomaru. He was still bleeding from his wounds and she wondered why he was hurt, but Inuyasha wasn't.

 

“Are you in pain?” Kagome asked Sesshomaru. He didn't show any signs of pain, but then again he had enough pride to fill up a country. “How did you get hurt?”

 

“I wasn't on guard. I had to protect you from getting hurt so I intercepted his attacks.”

 

Kagome gasped and walked over to him. “Are you alright? I'm so sorry! Let's go home and I'll help you.” Sesshomaru's gaze softened when she showed concern for his wellbeing. Maybe there was hope for them after all.

 

Kagome and Sesshomaru followed Inuyasha home. When they reached it Kagome made Sesshomaru sit at the kitchen table. She got the first aid kit and began to take off his clothes.

 

“Are you sure you want to do this here? Can I at least have the privacy of our room?” Sesshomaru asked politely. Kagome barely registered what he said, being caught up in his naked upper body.

 

“Oh yeah. We can go.” They went up to the room and Sesshomaru closed and locked the door behind them subtly. He sat down on the bed and Kagome cleaned and dressed his wounds.

 

“Are you alright? You seem to be flushed,” Sesshomaru stated pushing Kagome's hair out of her face. She only nodded and tried to concentrate on the task at hand. “Kagome… Look at me…”

 

Bad idea. The second she looked up he was kissing her full on the lips. Kagome didn't understand her feelings, but she liked them all the same. She moved to put her knees on the bed, causing her to straddle him. Since Sesshomaru was in the submissive position Kagome had to take control. She applied more pressure and rose up so that Sesshomaru's head was tilted upward. This had to be the best kiss Kagome had ever had and it was just the beginning.

 

Sesshomaru wrapped one arm around her waist and the other hand went into her hair. Kagome moaned into his mouth as he nipped at her bottom lip. His tongue explored her mouth fully, never getting enough. Kagome began to sink down so that she was sitting on his lap and gave into his kiss. She backed away to take in some much needed air into her lungs. His lips trailed along her jaw and down the hallow of her throat. She tossed her head back and arched her back to give him more access.

 

“Oh dear god…” Kagome moaned out and shifted in his lap. She felt his obvious arousal on her thigh and snapped back into reality. She jumped off of him and ran out of the room. She was supposed to hate this man, and yet here she was sitting on his lap and kissing him.

 

She ran into the bathroom and locked herself in. She sat on the edge of the bathtub and hugged herself. She felt as if a thousand butterflies were in her stomach just trying to get out. She felt her stomach suddenly turn and she whorled around to throw up in the tub. All that came out was blood, but this was her own blood. Something was wrong with her, but she thought nothing of it and rinsed out the bathtub.

 

Sesshomaru knocked on the bathroom door to see if Kagome was all right. When she didn't answer the door he walked in to find her coughing in the toilet. Little spots of blood could be seen in the water of the toilet and Sesshomaru grew worried.

 

“What happened?” he asked kneeling next to her.

 

“Nothing. I think I just got something caught in my throat that's all,” Kagome lied. She was in a lot of pain, but she didn't want anyone to worry about her. Sesshomaru didn't buy it. He picked her up and carried her into their room. He laid her down on the bed and kissed her forehead. He lay down beside her and wrapped himself around her to keep her warm.

 

“Sleep now Kagome. You'll feel better when you wake up,” Sesshomaru stated.

Sesshomaru could sense that Kagome was still the same as before, maybe even getting weaker. He had to figure out what was going on with her. He would have to check into the demon records about any created demons in the past. Kagome woke up and looked up at Sesshomaru.

 

“I feel a little better. Thank you Sesshomaru.”

 

Sesshomaru leaned into her and pressed his nose into her neck. He took a deep breath trying to see what was wrong with her by his sense of smell. He suddenly realized that her blood was slowly changing into a more potent, demon blood. It smelled delicious to Sesshomaru and he had to pull away quickly.

 

“You're old blood is becoming fresh so you are tossing out the new blood. You might be like this for another day or so.”

 

“Thanks for staying next to me Sesshomaru. I really appreciate it,” Kagome smiled. Sesshomaru felt his love swell for her. She was the same Kagome he had fell in love with and he wanted her so badly. He leaned down and kissed her lips lightly. He didn't want to push her too far in one day, but he couldn't back away.

 

He moved his hands to hold her close to him before deepening the kiss. Kagome relaxed into the kiss and worked with Sesshomaru to synchronize the kiss. He smiled and ran his hand up and down her body. Kagome backed away and looked up at Sesshomaru confused.

 

“Why do you keep kissing me like that?” she asked.

 

“I thought it would've been obvious.”

 

“Well I can't tell, so can you tell me what's going on between us? I'm getting more and more confused whenever I'm around you.”

 

Sesshomaru sighed and sat up. “Do you still hate me?” he asked, not looking at her.

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

“Do you still hate me for trying to kill you?”

 

“No, I'm still bitter, but I don't hate you anymore.” Kagome sat up also, but was instantly tackled by Sesshomaru in a passionate kiss. Kagome didn't want to push him away, but she had to. He was just too much for her.

 

“I'm sorry Sesshomaru. I think I want to live by myself so I can learn more about myself.”

 

“What are you saying?”

 

“I want you, Inuyasha, and Shippo to leave me here. Even though I'm sure I loved you at one time I want to know more about myself before I can be true to you. Please listen to my request.”

 

“Alright. We'll leave.”

 

“Thank you Sesshomaru. I'll come get you when I'm ready to be friends with you,” Kagome smiled. She leaned up and kissed him one last time before he left. Kagome suddenly realized that her heart hurt whenever Sesshomaru was away, but she would have to deal with it. She wanted to complete the goal of recovering her past before getting into it with Sesshomaru. He deserved a whole girl, not a girl that basically a shell of what she once was.

A/N: So Inuyasha and Shippo will probably not appear for a little while, but I still don't know about Sesshomaru. I'm thinking of letting Kagome go on her own for a little bit. Let me know if you like the idea. Thanks!
