Chapter 20

 

 

When they arrived at the castle, Kagome had to jog to keep up with Sesshomaru as his legs were longer and his strides quicker.  Shippo met them inside of the castle entry and followed alongside Sesshomaru to the court.

 

“You got here just in time,” Shippo said with ease as he kept up with his Lord's pace. “Jirou has them almost convinced to disagree with your choice of mate.” Sesshomaru growled deeply and clenched his fists at his sides.

 

Puffing and slightly out of breath, Kagome followed behind Sesshomaru and Shippo as they burst through two doors and entered the court chamber in the Northern wing of the castle.  Dark wood was carved in intricate patterns and there were dark colored furniture on a solid marble floor. Medium sized rectangular windows with blurred glass lined the wall where it met the ceiling, casting muted light around the room.  Much like a modern court room, there was a large judge's bench that was five times as long that ran along the curve of the room. Above it was a blue crescent lined in silver, the symbol of the Western Lands. Sitting behind the raised bench were 14 demons of different heights, sizes, and, well, species.  One thing was the same of all of them - they were all openly staring with looks of fear at Sesshomaru.

 

Jirou stood off to the side, leaning against the benches with a smug look on his face.  “Our Lord finally joins us,” he sneered, “and he brought the human with him.”   Sesshomaru's eyes locked on him as he stalked forward.  Jirou recoiled, the smirk falling off of his face and replaced by shock and fright as Sesshomaru made calculated steps toward him. 

 

“Sit. Down,” Sesshomaru growled in Jirou's face. Jirou collapsed into the nearest seat, eyes wide and trembling slightly. Sesshomaru straightened slowly, turned, and walked back to where Kagome was standing in the middle of the room with a slight smirk on his face. Jirou relaxed once the Taiyouki turned and walked away.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru, we are pleased that you have graced us with your presence,” a thin and pale looking demon said from the middle of the group. He had burgundy stripes on the sides of his face over his cheek bones but there were no markings on his forehead. Kagome had a sneaking suspicion that he was an Inu demon. Sesshomaru looked up at him and bobbed his head in a courteous bow to show his respect. He may be Lord but this was the court of the whole land and, if they wanted, they could overthrow him with a 13-1 vote.

 

“It is my honor, Masao-sama, to be allowed audience with the Western court. I came because I was notified by my advisor, Shippo Amma, that there was a disturbance at the castle,” he explained, his eyes boring into Jirou as he spoke of the disturbance. Jirou eep'd loudly and struggled to not wet himself due to the piercing glare he was receiving.

 

The other nobles nodded sagely with Masao at Sesshomaru's comment. Jirou had been in the court since day break ranting and raving about Sesshomaru courting a human and that it was a waste of his and his son's time. Kagome felt eyes on her and daringly looked up and locked eyes with each set that was staring at her. The fourteen nobles looked Kagome over. She appeared to be a human of average looks and build. She was wearing black slacks and a long men's white t-shirt that was obviously not hers. Her hair was black, much darker than her brown eyes. She sent looks of determination and loyalty laced with a bit of nervousness back at the nobles.

 

Todaku Kudo, second chair of the court, leaned over the bench and looked down at Kagome with a smile on his brown and tan face. Fur fanned out from his cheek bones then hung low below his chin like fur jowls on each side of his face. His almond shaped eyes glinted in the dull lighting. Set on top of his head, much like Inuyasha's, were a set of fuzzy brown and black specked ears. At the tips of his ears there were black wisps of fur. His lips spread, uncovering a mouth full of white teeth that Kagome was sure were deathly sharp.

 

"And who are you young lady?" he purred, leaning farther yet over the bench. Kagome fidgeted with the hem of the shirt she was wearing and obverted her eyes from Todaku's almost perverse leer. Shippo coughed none so discretely and Kagome's shoulders tensed slightly. She straightened her back and raised her chin a little before bowing respectfully before the court.

 

"My sincere apologies; I did not mean to be rude. My name is Kagome Higurashi."

 

"The Shikon Miko," Takeshi offered softly. Looking sideways she saw him standing by his father, hand on his shoulder as if to keep him from another outburst. He was calmer than his father, dressed in green hakamas and a white haori.

 

"Yes, that's correct. I am the Shikon Miko," she stated proudly over the gentle murmurs. A demon with dark green hair and a voice deeper than Sesshomaru's stood abruptly and pointed a stubby finger at her.

 

"You lie! You're barely an adult in human years. You can not be her!"

 

"Sit down, Chieru, and open your nose. She told no lies. Get your nasal spray refilled," Masao grumbled. Kagome couldn't help but release a soft giggle at Masao's scolding. Todaku, still leaned forward over the bench, snorted. Masao glanced at Todaku who quickly stopped laughing though his grin remained. Masao looked down at Kagome for a few silent moments. His face held no expression as he examined the young girl standing next to Sesshomaru. She was obviously a Miko by the energy that swirled around her body. He raised an eyebrow at the way her aura weaved and caressed Sesshomaru's. He recalled stories of a young miko several centuries ago traveling with Sesshomaru's younger brother Inuyasha.

 

"Kanta," he said suddenly. A dark brown-furred demon sitting four chairs down from Masao nodded, rose, and bowed to Masao. He then turned and bowed to Kagome.

 

"Kagome-san, I extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the Court of the Western Lands. I am honored to meet you again," he said with a smile on his face. Kagome cocked her head to the side Kanta… that name seems familiar.

 

"Again?" she asked. Kanta looked somewhat familiar to her. He was a tall demon with broad and thick shoulders cloaked in a Navy vest and he wore brown hakamas.

 

"Yes, Priestess. Without your help, my father would never have been resurrected by Lord Sesshomaru and I would not have lived to be here today."

 

"Kanta... Kanta-kun?" she said, remembering the small otter demon whose father was beheaded by Hakudoshi. Smiling, she bowed reverently. "You're very welcome! We're all just lucky Lord Sesshomaru was nearby to help." She looked to her left and saw Sesshomaru standing with a blank look.

 

“Now that introductions are through, let us get down to the business of why we are here,” Sesshomaru said. “I have chosen a mate.” Gasps sounded both from the 14 court nobles and from Takeshi and Jirou.

 

“Surely you can't mean the girl,” Chieru said with a frown and look of distaste as he motioned toward Kagome. Kagome frowned.

 

“And why not?” she asked, her hands fisting at her sides.

 

“A miko and demon can't mate. They wouldn't produce offspring! Besides, you're a mortal; you would die within a fraction of time,” Chieru huffed as he crossed his arms over his chest. The tone of his voice was that of a child telling a classmate that they were wrong and he was right. From the side Jirou chuckled. Takeshi tried to hide a smirk but was unable to accomplish such a feat.

 

Annoyed, Kagome let a small growl pass her lips as she took a step forward. Todaku leaned further over the bench still, his eyes widening in anticipation. Kagome was afraid that any second he was going to topple over the edge and land in a lump of orange silk at their feet. This girl sure is a spit-fire!

 

“You don't know that. How many demons do you know that have mated with a miko?” The room was silent in response to her question. “None, that's what I thought. Sesshomaru and I are two very powerful beings. We'll be able to figure something out. Besides,” she said as she glanced at Sesshomaru, “we completed an Aura Meld.” Masao raised both eyebrows while the rest of the court nobles wore confused looks. Masao had known Inu no Taisho and knew the older lord had traveled the country side to find a solution to making his human woman have the life span of a demon.

 

“But no one else has tried it,” Todaku murmured as he pulled back from the edge of the bench a little bit. He turned and looked toward Masao.

 

“Sesshomaru, is what she says true? Did you complete the Aura Meld with the miko?” Masao asked. Sesshomaru looked up and locked eyes with Masao. He had never felt surer of himself than he did at that time.

 

“You do not need me to affirm that fact, Masao-sama. I know that you yourself can see how our auras cling to one another and mix. Yes, it is true. I have chosen Kagome as my mate and we completed the meld last night.”

 

“Well, I guess all they have to do is conceive and then we'll see what happens,” he said as he sat back. “Sesshomaru will reign until they can prove conception. If they are unable to conceive in the given time frame of the next 6 weeks, Takeshi Nishimura will challenge him to a battle. However, if they are able to conceive, Sesshomaru will remain as Lord until the heir is born. Then we will see if it is a full or half demon. At that time the decision will be made regarding Lordship.” There was a moment of silence before anyone spoke up.

 

“I second,” Kanta said with a gentle smile on his face.

 

“Ah, yes, I third,” Todaku said as he sat fully back into his seat. Sesshomaru nodded and bowed slightly to the court.

 

“Thank you. I assure you we will keep you posted,” he said. Kagome lowered her eyes to the floor as a pink blush colored her cheeks. She bowed to the court nobles and turned to leave with Sesshomaru.

 

“Six weeks? How do you even know the girl will conceive or if she is even fertile?” Jirou remarked with a snide tone. Kagome stopped and crossed her arms, sending a disgusted look toward the snarky demon.

 

“That is NONE of your business!” she yelled in outrage. Jirou snorted at her outburst.

 

“Hn, we shall see,” Sesshomaru murmured as he placed his hand on Kagome's lower back and led her out of the court room.

 

Todaku watched the couple leave and grinned widely. The next few weeks are going to be exciting indeed!

 

 

---000---

 

 

Kagome fidgeted with her fingers in her lap as she looked out the car window. The more she thought about the impending heir-conceiving activity the higher the blush rose on her face. It started on her neck and she could feel the prickly heat as it crept up her face and over her ears.

 

“How- I mean, where do you…” she stuttered. She took a deep breath to calm herself. “Sesshomaru, we need to talk about this.” He glanced at her in the passenger seat. The poor girl seemed mortified to even suggest talking about what their mating entailed. A slight smirk curled his lip.

 

“Right now we're driving to my apartment for some privacy,” he said. “I understand that there is only a very small window in which you can get pregnant. I already know, from your aura and scent, that you are not taking any type of birth control which will help our situation.” Kagome slumped in her seat a little bit.

 

“You're making this sound like a business deal,” she grumbled. Sesshomaru beat down a chuckle and instead cleared his throat.

 

“Sorry. My head is still back at the castle I guess. This isn't all about me, Kagome. I want you to know that,” he said, turning to look at her. She held his gaze, noticing the calm expression on his face. She nodded and relaxed a little. He nodded then turned his attention back to the road ahead of them.

 

At his apartment, they slipped off their shoes at the door and Sesshomaru went to the kitchen to put some water on for tea. Kagome thought it was a little old fashioned of him to be making tea instead of offering something like a soda but she shrugged. While he was in the kitchen waiting for the water to heat, Kagome took a closer look at the paintings and photographs on the walls. The paintings were a mix of acrylics, oils, and water color. Some were very traditional of floral and bamboo scenes yet others were richly colored landscapes of water, grass, and the setting sun.

 

There were a very scant number of photographs in his apartment. Of the ones she saw were a few of Inuyasha and Nyuka with their children and one of Shippo and Shiori with their children. Her eyes scanned over their smiling faces, going from picture to picture looking at their grins and how they hugged their arms around one another. The last photograph she came across stunned her. It was Sesshomaru and Inuyasha in the same attire she knew them to wear in the feudal era. They had both settled into a fighting stance but, instead of their customary stances toward one another, they were shown back-to-back as if to face off any opponent. A soft smile caressed her lips as she thought about the brothers and their reconciliation. A warm chest pressed against her back as a steaming cup of tea was raised in front of her. She nodded her thanks and took the cup from him, cradling it in her hands.

 

“You are happy to see us getting along, I take it,” he said as he looked at the photograph she was presently standing in front of. It was maybe 10 years ago when they decided, for old time's sake with a twist, to take some pictures. Inuyasha had been hesitant at first but Sesshomaru insisted and pestered him until he bought a plane picket from Texas.

 

“I never thought it possible,” she said, “but then I also never thought a great demon Lord would want me as his mate.” She blew gently on the tea in her cup, attempting to cool its high temperature. A strong arm slid around her middle and pulled her gently against him. He rested his cheek against her temple.

 

“Perhaps you only needed to think outside of the box, hmm?” he murmured, his breath fluttering her bangs slightly. Kagome smiled and took a dainty sip of tea. He kissed her temple softly then pulled his face away. Her cup hid the disappointed pout that formed on her lips in response to his movement away from her. His hand slid down her side to rest at her hip while she leaned back to make better contact against him. His thumb stroked her hip through the material of her shirt. Kagome blushed.

 

“I can't believe I ran into the castle court while wearing your shirt,” she breathed as the blush creeped higher up and filled her cheeks. She felt the gentle rumble of laughter in his chest and his hand move from her hip to brush across her stomach. The sensation sent shudders through her body and a giggle slipped past her lips. She reached forward and set her cup on the small table against the wall then turned in his embrace and wrapped her arms around his neck. His eyes were already half-lidded and clouded as he looked down at her. The blush crept higher to engulf her ears as her heart sped up.

 

The look in his eyes held lust and desire. This was it. Tonight they consummated their relationship. She smiled at the thought of the handsome demon lying naked in bed with her. She trembled in anticipation of feeling his skin against hers. He must have been thinking the same because he swooped down and pressed his lips to hers in a gentle kiss. What began as gentle grew into a needy, heated battle between lips. She gladly accepted his wandering tongue past her lips and allowed her own to explore. His hands stroked her sides sending shivers up and down her body. He broke away from her, panting slightly, and took her hand, leading her a few steps down the hall and into his bedroom. He closed the door gently behind them.

 

She stood just inside of his room and looked around.  The carpet was dull beige and the walls were muted tan in color with a stripe of dark brown at the top of the wall where it met up against the ceiling.  Chocolate brown curtains were draped along a valence and cascaded down to the floor as they framed the window across the room.  To her left sat a stout, dark stained oak dresser with a wide and bulky mirror balanced against the wall.  Unlike her own cluttered dresser, his merely held an alarm clock and a small fan.

 

He pulled her arm and she stumbled forward, her front pressed against his again.  She felt a gush of embarrassment well up inside of her and, not knowing what else to do, looked to her right. When she initially entered the room she avoided looking in that direction but there was no way to avoid it now. She opened her eyes and looked at his bed. To her surprise it seemed normal.  It wasn't an obnoxiously large King size bed covered in luxurious silks.  Instead it looked maybe Queen sized (if not a little longer - he must have had it custom made to suit his height).  The sheets were peeled back slightly to reveal a soft off-white spread under a dark brown and tan comforter and pillow set.

 

His hands cupped her face and tilted it toward his, forcing her eyes away from his bed. She looked back up at him, amazed at the depth she saw in his eyes.

 

“We'll get to that,” he murmured before capturing her lips in a searing kiss. Her hands rose and pressed gently against his chest, feeling his heavy breathing as his lips plundered her own. Their tongues twisted and probed against one another, seeking and searching. Her fingers caressed his chest and flexed, wanting to feel more than his shirt under her hands. Reaching down, Kagome grasped the hem of his shirt and pulled up. He broke away just long enough to pull his shirt the rest of the way off and toss it to the floor next to him. Her eyes took in his shirtless body for the first time. Not angularly chiseled like so many body builders, his chest was smooth but showed toned muscles underneath. She raised her hands slowly, sweeping her knuckles up his stomach to his chest where she splayed her fingers over his pecs. She felt his muscles twitch as she ran her hands across them and was amazed at the smoothness.

 

His own hands were beginning to pull at the hem of the shirt that she had been wearing since after her shower. Blushing she took a step back from him and raised her arms so that he could pull the shirt off of her. He steeled himself before lifting the shirt over her head. He dropped the shirt next to his own and gazed upon the woman in front of him. Her arms and shoulders were thin but lean. Her light pink bra straps curved over her shoulders and down her front where they met and guarded two soft globes of flesh that peaked over the edges of the cups. Looking lower still he noticed the slight pudge of her stomach below her belly button and smiled. She will make a fine mother.

 

Kagome felt his eyes rover over her shirtless chest and fought hard against the desire to cover herself. In her mind she was squeezing her eyes shut and chanting `he wants me, he wants me, he wants me' to try to coax her nervousness down. Sesshomaru sensed her nervousness and reached out to run clawed hands down her arms. He lifted her arms and laid them on his shoulders, bringing her hands together behind his head. Her chest pressed against his and he smiled. She pressed her lips to his and her nervousness melted away to be replaced by the lust and desire she felt building for the demon in her arms.

 

Between hungry kisses they shed more clothing. Sesshomaru stood in his boxers with her body pressed against his, barely covered by her bra and skimpy panties. She stepped back from him and reached behind her, unclasping her bra. She slid it gracefully from her shoulders and let it fall from her fingertips. Sesshomaru watched her with baited breath. She paused for a moment, taking a deep breath and staring into his eyes, before she slipped her fingers under the waist band of her panties and slipped them down her legs and stepped out of them.

 

Kagome now stood completely naked in his bedroom. He could sense the arousal and desire rolling off of her and the slight scent of her musky and alluring aroma. Her breasts were of average size with dusty rose colored nipples. His eyes went to the floor and traced her legs up to their apex at her sex which was hidden by a triangular patch of black hair. She was a beautiful Adonis and she was his.

 

His hands went to remove his boxers but she reached out and stopped him. Her hands covered his and she smiled up at him. He raised an eyebrow but nodded, understanding her silent request. He removed his hands and let them fall to his sides. Kagome slipped her fingers under the waistband of his boxers and, at an agonizingly slow pace, slipped his boxers off. When she stood he nudged the last garment to the side and stood before her completely naked with a bobbing, growing erection.

 

Sure, she had seen naked men in magazines, the internet, and in health class but nothing prepared her for the spectacle in front of her. She knew that demons were built different than humans in many ways but she was perplexed by what she saw. Dark and jagged twin stripes the same color as on his wrists lined his hips on either side sweeping down from his hip bones and pointing toward the desired location. Surrounding the base of his cock was a short crop of silvery-white wiry curls. Kagome unconsciously licked her lips as her eyes traced the modest length protruding slightly from his groin.

 

Sesshomaru felt a swell of pride as she examined his naked body. He had dreamed for years about the time he would finally be able to bed the beautiful woman before him. Unable to hold back any longer, Sesshomaru took a step forward, causing Kagome to back up slightly. Her calves bumped into the frame of the bed.

 

“Lay back,” he suggested huskily. Kagome nodded slightly before easing herself up onto the mattress. She scooted up and lay on her back with her head on a pillow while he eased himself onto the bed to lie next to her. He laid on his right side while his left hand roamed her body. He started at her left hip bone, sweeping across diagonally over her abdomen and up toward her breasts. She could feel his erection bobbing against her thigh as his hand swept up her body, eliciting wonderful shudders from head to toe. His fingertips left a trail of goose pimples in their wake as he made his way to her left breast. First his hand cupped the soft globe of flesh before kneading it gently. Kagome's breath hitched in her throat at his gentle ministrations. His fingers brushed across her quickly stiffening nipple causing another gasp from her. He grasped her nipple and rolled it between two fingers while watching her face. Kagome whimpered but did nothing to stop him.

 

Sesshomaru licked his lips before dipping his head down to capture her nipple in his mouth. He ran his wet tongue over the pert flesh, flicking and soothing against it. Kagome whimpered more and raised her hand up to slide her fingers through his hair. Sesshomaru looked up at her while still sucking and licking at her nipple. Kagome blushed, realizing this was the first time anyone had touched her breasts with more than their hands.

 

Sesshomaru pulled back and released her nipple from his mouth with a soft *pop*. The look in her eyes had turned to one of apprehension.

 

“Is everything okay?

 

“I…” she stuttered, gasping for breath. “I don't know what to do. I've never gone further than making out.” He smiled down at her as he blew gently on her wet nipple. Kagome shivered at the cold tingle.

 

“Don't worry. We'll lead one another.” With that said, he went back to assaulting her left breast while his hand began cupping, tweaking, and pinching her other breast.

 

Kagome took a deep breath and felt his cock bob against her thigh again. She mustered up some bravery and wrapped her left hand around his erection. His body jerked slightly as he groaned against her breast. The skin of his shaft was smooth and satiny which wasn't what she was expecting. She squeezed her hand around it and felt it pulse in her hand. His body jerked again and he loosed another strangled groan. Smiling, she rubbed her thumb over the head which caused him to shudder wildly.

 

His mouth abandoned her nipple to kiss her lips roughly, a soft and approving growl escaping his chest at her continued attention to his cock. His fingers trailed down from her aching nipples to splay over her soft stomach, down to her abdomen. Her skin was soft and heated under his fingers and he could feel the path of goose pimples he was causing as his hand traveled lower. His fingertips passed lightly over the coarse curls of her public hair, brushing against them only slightly to let her know his intentions. Without hesitation, Kagome spread her legs for him.

 

As his hand slid lower to cover and cup her sex, Sesshomaru could feel the heat rolling off of her. She was burning hot and she would burn him up with her. His body shuddered as her thumb made another lazy pass over the head of his cock. He nipped gently at her lower lip before continuing to wrestle her tongue with his own.

 

A long digit eased its way between her nether lips. Sesshomaru groaned into her mouth at the hot, wet heat that engulfed his finger. Kagome whimpered and arched her back slightly at the intrusion. He pressed his finger deeper between her nether lips, covering it in her juices before drawing it out, brushing gently against her clit in the process. Kagome gasped and stiffened beneath him, her hand around his shaft tightening its grip. Sesshomaru, too, stiffened as the small hand that was wrapped around his person caused his blood to boil.

 

His fingers reached down again, sliding between her slick folds and probing her entrance. She squirmed beneath him, whimpering as one of his fingers slid inside of her. Sesshomaru rested his forehead against her shoulder and panted as her sheath tightened around him.

 

“Kagome…” he breathed out against her ivory skin. His tongue darted out, slowly caressing the curve of her shoulder. His tongue tingled at the delicious salty taste of her luscious skin. Hungry for more, he pressed his mouth to her shoulder, leaving a trail of open mouthed kisses across them and down her neck. His finger left her body amid her whimpers of protest before he slowly returned two inside of her. Her gasps fluttered his bangs and he again groaned at her passage squeezed like a vice around his digits. His mouth made its way up her neck and along her jaw while his fingers pumped in and out of her slick passage.

 

Kagome writhed underneath him. His fingers were curving inside of her and rubbing against a wonderful spot that felt as if he was rubbing her clit from the inside. Her body jolted when he eased his fingers out and then back in at a slightly faster pace. The jolt was borne from his thumb rubbing slow circles around her clit. Kagome yelped in surprise as her hips betrayed her, rising to meet his thrusts. Gasping for air, she moaned.

 

“Sesshomaru… please,” she murmured. He slowed his fingers and stopped his torturous thrusting before raising his head to look at her. Eyes half closed, she looked like a demure goddess.

"Will you allow me to taste you?" he asked. Kagome nodded shyly at him before scooting up further on the bed. She held herself up on her elbows and watched him move down to settle between her legs.

 

Sesshomaru's head swam with desire already scenting her musky arousal. He glanced up at her to find her eyes trained on him with curiosity, excitement, and lust. He began with gentle licks to her nether lips, progressing into more aggressive and passionate sucking and licking that wound up on her clit. Kagome writhed on the bed, moaning and gasping at each flick of his tongue or suckle from his mouth. She could feel a tightness growing in her abdomen. She cried out when she felt his fingers slide into her while he sucked on her clit. Just as she felt she was about to snap, she pressed her palm to his forehead and pushed. Sesshomaru lazily looked up at her, confused by the interruption just as he was about to give her a very pleasurable orgasm.

"Hmm?" he drawled lazily.

 

"Not yet. I... *blush* I want you inside of me the first time."

He looked up at her for a moment as the fog lifted from his brain and her statement registered. He gladly obliged and crawled up her body, kissing a trail to her breasts where he stopped to suckle once again at each erect nipple.  Kagome bent her legs more, welcoming him between them. His cock rubbed gently against her now slick opening, twitching with anticipation.

 

His arms held him up over her as he looked down into her eyes. She reached a hand out and caressed his cheek while smiling up at him.

 

“Sesshomaru, I want you to mate with me,” she whispered against his lips before granting him a passionate kiss. He closed his eyes and eased himself forward, slowly sheathing himself inside of her. They both whimpered and gasped at the tightness and sheer friction of their movement. When he was fully inside of her he opened his eyes to gaze down at her. Her eyes were wide open and her head had tilted further back. The corner of her bottom lip was pulled into her mouth where her teeth were holding it captive. Her legs had pressed together slightly to prevent him from going too deep inside of her. They stayed like this for a moment, both of them adjusting to their newfound position.

 

Centuries. He had waited centuries to have her and here he was, buried deep inside of the woman for which he waited.

 

He began moving inside of her in slow strokes. The heavy, full feeling of him moving inside of her was like a huge electrical storm in her body, escalating the growing tightness in her abdomen. Her nails dug into his shoulders when he increased the speed of his strokes.

 

She was a tight fit for him; if only he hadn't been so anxious to be inside of her he could have slide more fingers into her before hand to stretch her out a little bit it would have helped. But neither of them could wait for it - they both wanted this equally as bad. His head dipped down, his lips mashing against hers in a passionate struggle between pants and gasps. He reached one hand down and rubbed his thumb gently over her clit. He could feel that she was very close to the edge and, he had to admit, that he was also close to falling into the abyss. His hand fisted in the sheets as he shuttered against her. He slowed to a cruel speed, slowly drawing himself out of her almost until he was all the way out before slowly sliding back into her hot depth. Once fully sheathed inside of her he panted.

 

“I'm very close, Kagome,” he admitted among groans and moans, “and I can feel that you are as well.” She looked up at him with a dazed expression, already drunk off the ecstasy of their bodies together. Her hips bucked up against his, drawing him in deeper.

 

“More,” she demanded, pushing his hand away and allowing her own hand to take over rubbing her aching clit. A smirk creeped onto his face and he slowly drew himself out of her again only to thrust back into her quickly. Each thrust was met with an “unfgh” as her small frame bucking against him. He continued this merciless rhythm until he could not take the burning in his abdomen any longer.

 

“Ka… Kagome,” He whispered as he looked down into her eyes and he began slamming into her with quick, heavy strokes. He could feel her inner walls begin to quiver around him and he lost himself to her.

 

“Sess.. sessh.. shou.. shou.. ungh.. Ooooh, Sesshomaru,” she cried out as her orgasm flooded over her like none before. She rubbed herself frantically while jolts of electricity radiated from her core. Her sweet moans and groans of ecstasy were music to his ears as he continued to plow into her. Her tightness and her crying out of his name pushed him over the edge. His body shuddered and shook with each pulse of his orgasm, his seed spilling out inside of her.

 

Gradually his thrusts slowed and stopped. He held himself still above her by his arms. Her nails had dug impressive welts into his shoulders. Below him, Kagome blushed soft pink from their activities. Her chest heaved with deep breaths and her eyes were pools of satiated brown. He leaned down to capture her lips in a gentle kiss.

 

Her arms laid limp at her sides as her body buzzed in the way one's body buzzes post orgasm. It was like a soft hum surrounded her body and massaged all of her muscles. Sesshomaru pulled back, slowly drawing himself out of her and collapsing on the bed next to her. He stretched his limbs, his back cracking slightly. Kagome looked over and smiled at him. She was relieved that there hadn't been biting or anything to do with blood involved because she had been scared enough with just the sex part of things.

 

Kagome turned on her side and Sesshomaru wrapped his arm around her middle, pulling her flush against him. His face rested in the crook of her neck and he inhaled, sighing contentedly. She smiled and nuzzled against him before settling in for an afternoon nap.

 

 

---000---

 

 

 

Soft cotton sheets hugged her waist when she rolled over. Kagome moaned contentedly and hugged her pillow as the most wonderful feather soft caresses started below her neck and trailed down her spine. Soft, silken threads caressed her sides as gentle puffs of air caressed her skin. The sensation dropped to her lower back then made its way back up to her neck and shoulders.

 

“Good morning, Kagome,” a familiar baritone voice purred in her ear. Kagome turned her head and gazed back at shirtless Sesshomaru leaning over her back. She sighed at how handsome he looked with his hair down, falling over his shoulder and onto her sides. There was a ruffling of sheets and she was soon lying on her back. Her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him down to receive a gentle morning kiss from her lips.

 

“Good morning, Sesshomaru,” she purred.

 

“Did you sleep well?” he asked as he trailed a hand down her chest between her breasts.

 

“Mmm, best sleep ever,” she said with a smile. Sesshomaru shifted to position himself between her legs. Already she could feel his arousal brushing against her. “I think the best part of this heir business is going to be making one,” she cooed. Her legs hooked around his waist and she pulled him closer.

Ryusuke Hidaka leaned back in his leather computer chair with a cup of very strong coffee in his hand while he read the morning news. Not normally a coffee drinker he brewed a pot this morning because he slept horribly the night before thanks to his neighbor. Never before had he heard such racket from his neighbor, a typically quiet man.

 

He sighed and put his feet up on the edge of his deck, leaning back in his chair. His brows furrowed when he heard a muffled giggle coming from the other side of the wall where his neighbor lived. He ignored the giggle until it turned until an erotic moan.

 

“Oh come on!” he yelled while jumping out of his chair, “that's the third time since 6am!” Picking up his laptop and coffee, Ryusuke stomped out of his office to take up residence on his couch.

This stopping point wrote itself. It must be the inspiration of watching Ranma1/2 right now that's helping me get this done. We're not done with Jirou and Takeshi and we're not even talking pregnancy yet. They have 6 weeks at this point.

 

Amma - I couldn't find a meaning for this - it was the last name of a classmate from Japan in college. She was a wonderful person and I pay homage to her by using her last name for Shippo
