InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Predestination ❯ Predestination 16 ( Chapter 16 )

Chapter 16

Opening her eyes, she noticed that Ah-Un was slowly landing towards the castle, for an odd reason her heart felt like it was letting out a sigh, thankful to be home. But why would she feel this way, this wasn't her home, but the feeling was there nevertheless. She looked down at her stomach to see Sesshoumaru's white arm encircling her waist snuggly. She loved his claws, there was just something sexy about claws she couldn't deny. She especially loved his; he used his with so much more grace than Inuyasha and with a deadly precision one couldn't ignore. She couldn't help but touch one of the sharp claws with her own slowly.

He knew she was awake as they approached the castle, he could sense her aura calming when they drew closer. He let a small smile grace his lips, he pleased to know that she found his home pleasing. However his thoughts were cut short when he felt the pad of her finger run over his finger sensuously. He could not stop the low growl that escaped his chest, causing her to jump in his grasp.

"Goman Sesshoumaru I can not help it that I love your claws so much." Stroking his finger and claws a little more boldly. What was getting in to her?

Squeezing her stomach gently, he coaxed a slight shudder out of her body. He remembered his secret little power over her from the springs, bringing a burning heat through his body just at the thought. "I am pleased that you find my claws a fascination my Kagome."

She turned so she could see his eyes. She challenged the amber orbs with her sapphire ones, then she saw it, if she looked hard enough and long enough his eyes revealed everything. But right now she couldn't tell what it was but she liked it, a whole bunch too. The amber jewels held storm clouds of an unidentified emotion, but it made her feel so good. She never felt this way before, it was so…intense, it was like her chest was constricting and her stomach was so hot. She inhaled to get a hold of herself but as she took in the air, she was expecting to smell the sage and normal masculine scent of Sesshoumaru, but it was a lot hotter as if spicier.

Looking into her eyes was like an adventure; he read every single emotion, from surprise to curiosity and back to surprise. He knew she must realize his arousal, because he was drowning in hers and he was almost positive he didn't want to be saved. Could she possibly want him?

Did this mean he had feelings for her? Her wondering was cut short as she was slightly jolted as the dragon hit the ground, but Sesshoumaru's firm arm prevented her from moving. As she stepped off the dragon she was greeted by Keito.

"Kagome I am happy you are back and all is well." Her warm smile was a wonderful welcome to get coming back from a journey. She hugged her before turning to Lord Sesshoumaru and bowing. He gave her a nod, as she followed them into the house she informed Sesshoumaru on the letter he received yesterday afternoon.

"Lady Kagome the items you purchased are in your room, I left them untouched thinking you might want to unwrap them yourself. You have a little time to yourself before the children wake up, might I suggest you unpack, leave them their gifts by their bed and sleep so you will be unbothered while you sleep for your departure." She knew to take Keito's word for it.

"That would be a wise decision." Sesshoumaru's voice of stolidity told her that his mask was back on again without even turning around.

She laid the new colors, sweets, clothes, and a scroll of magic spells for Shippo on the edge of his bed, while laying clothes, pretty bows, and a beautiful vase with a note attached to it, for Rin on the table beside her bed. The note read: "Every day pick a flower, for your loved ones and keep them in your new vase to remind you of those who love you. Okaasan" she felt a little strange writing okaasan on the note, but she felt wrong not to. Knowing Sesshoumaru was in his study, she left the package on his bed with another note. Finally unpacking all her stuff, she flopped down onto her bed letting sleep control her body.

He waited an hour before walking up the stairs to her room; the sight of her lying on her arms while she faced him greeted him. Her face was angelic, he couldn't deny it or lie about the feelings she aroused within him. He wanted her; he wanted to possess her, to be the only one to revel in her entire being. Standing beside her, he noticed the top of her kimono was slightly off the shoulder, revealing his mark. Without even thinking, he reached out and let his claws slightly glide over the mark. His eyes widened as her body shuddered and eyes fluttered open to stare at his.

"Mmmm…Sesshoumaru…is it time to get up already." Rising up on her elbows, she stared at the taiyoukai with tired eyes. His emotionless countenance was betrayed by a certain gleam in his eye. "When I leave here I am going to go to my time for a week or two. Then I am going to come back and stay with Inuyasha and look for the jewel shards."

He didn't like to hear his bastard brother's name come from her lips, especially when she mentioned her staying and working with him. She belonged to him not his brother, but he could not take back the deal between them.

"Umm.. well…could you do me a fav…never mind." Shaking her head and smiling, she looked around as if to change the subject.

Catching her chin he tilted her face towards his, "What is it?"

She closed her eyes at his touch; his hands were so firm and warm, while his voice held a note of gentleness in it. "Could you send Shippo on the second week, him and Inuyasha don't get along well by themselves." He simply nodded as he let go of her face. She got up on her knees so that she was closer to his eyes level.

"Arigatou my Sesshoumaru-sama." Slowly he raised a clawed digit and swept the silver tendrils of hair from her face. He stared into her eyes and saw something he couldn't quite recognize, but her arousal was ever present to his nostrils. How much longer could he last?

Air was getting harder to obtain as her nose was assaulted with the mysterious spicy sandalwood scent, while being fixated by the amber orbs. His eyes were clouded with desire; she never thought she would actually receive that look much less see one for real. Yeah she has seen the looks on TV and read about them, but to actually have it towards her was exhilarating. Her body shivered as she stared at him lick his lips, catching a glimpse of his fangs in the process.

A brief knock came before her door was opened, "Kagome are you…Oh MY!! Gomen." Keito's red face and short squeak reminded them that other things needed to be attended to.

"I will be waiting." His taciturn self returned rapidly, turning and leaving, letting Keito enter. She didn't know whether to be happy or very pissed to see her, sighing she flung a bunch of her kimonos into her bag since she was royalty and couldn't wear her school uniforms. She smirked as she stuffed more into her bag, it would be hilarious if she wore one to an official youkai meeting. But then again, her own death by her mate wasn't that hilarious.

"Ok Keito I'm ready lets go." They walked to the children's room first. She nudged them to wake up, but they kept grumbling for more sleep, she even tried to tell them she was leaving but they didn't really hear her or care to. She laughed softly, knowing they will regret it when they awake. She took the stairs down to the foyer three at a time, however Keito's rapid feet were beating her.

He turned from Eichiro to see Keito and Kagome racing down the grand stairs at a foolish speed. Well foolish for Kagome and her trait of clumsiness, but just fine for the rabbit youkai, they both saw Kagome's foot slip on the edge of the last set of stairs. Simultaneously they moved for her, but as luck had it, Eichiro was closest, catching her against his chest. He watched as Kagome smiled and gave him a hug around his neck, but more importantly, he watched how Eichiro's eyes held no surprise or embarrassment, as one should have when one of a more superior caste shows such displays towards. No, his eyes held none of that, his held revel, satisfaction, and want, as he hugged her back.

Faster than she could realize she was thrown from the hug towards Keito, and was watching Sesshoumaru pin Eichiro to the staircase banister. He had one arm nearly twisted off while he held a glowing claw to his neck. Sesshoumaru's whispered words caused the already surprised inu to show and unnatural fear in his eyes.

Letting him, go he turned on his heel, fanning his long silver hair about him, and grunted for her to follow. She gave Eichiro a sorrowful look before stomping to Sesshoumaru. He was already on the dragon when she got out there. She tied her bag on before hopping behind him. As soon as the dragon kicked off into the air, she used his shoulders and his help to swing around so that she was sitting in front of him but facing him.

He simply just looked down at her waiting.

"What was that about, you nearly killed Eichiro." Jabbing every syllable into his shoulder with her finger.

Keeping his eyes on her, he grabbed her opposing hand and pressed it against her thigh. He leaned forward, causing her to lean back a little. "He had no right to touch you as you did him." He growled menacingly. He didn't want her fear but he wanted her to get the point and catch his warning.

"I was hugging him, saying thanks for catching me. I always do that."

"I suggest you learn to eliminate that habit before I do."

She couldn't believe he was threatening her, now she was pissed. "Oh and what are you going to do about it, punish me?" she should have never had said that, one of his delicate eyebrows lifted ever so slightly confirming her thought. She realized his hand was still holding hers firmly on her thigh. But she couldn't think of moving it because she was too entranced by his eyes. He was giving her the same look as he did in her room. But now he looked even more beautiful if it were possible. His long lush sliver locks were blowing behind him as they flew toward their destination, while the sun hit his eyes making them sparkle even more. She didn't even realize the space in between their faces went from inches, centimeters, to nothing. His lips were warm, firm, and gentle all at the same glorious time. It was like lightening racing through her, she couldn't move.

Her lips were like an exotic treat, so new and uncontrollably good. He wrapped his free arm around the small of her back drawing her closer to his chest. He traced her delicious full lips, teasing her while begging for entrance. He felt her trance break as she sighed a little giving him opportunity to delve his tongue past her defenses. His tongue danced an ancient dance with hers provoking her innocent one to do the same.

She slowly, as if testing the waters started to move her tongue against his. Her body shook as he let out an erotic growl, deepening the kiss, obviously thrilled by her actions. She smiled against his lips as she to explored the deep caverns of his warm mouth, exalted she could make him do that.

He held her face in place with one hand while he continued his onslaught, giving her a second of breath before resuming his merciless explorations. While she battled with him over dominance of their mouths he moved his hand that was close to her already heated core, and brushed her center with the back of his claw.

She felt the action with full force; she gasped pulling away from the kiss. She looked back at him with hazy eyes has he picked her slightly off the dragon and placed her thighs on his thighs, tilting her just for him. His eyes went from hers, to her lips, and to her most private place. Her skin was on fire as she blushed deeply as she followed his eyes, bringing a mischievous smile to his lips.

She was about to protest, even though she was very interested as to what he would do but she never said a word. His hand cupped her fully and squeezed, he watched as her eyes went wide and closed, she moaned slightly into the wind. He smiled as he decided he wanted her louder. Pressing his thumb to the right spot, he moved it in slow circles, watching her face take on the look of sweet torture. He reveled in it knowing it was him doing this to her. Nipping at her lips as he pulled her chest back to his, he sped up his ministrations.

"Oh…oh..ohh…Sessh..shoumaruuu!" her voice came out in a soft strangled frenzy in his ear. Something was happening to her, like a fire building rapidly in her body. Her lungs felt as if they were losing air, and were burning at the same time.

"You belong to me Kagome no one else, you are my mate remember that." He growled onto her lips as he lowered his thumb to the right spot, speeding up, bringing her to her cataclysmic edge.

Her vision went from blurry to fire works as she let out a strangled cry into the wind. Her body released its wound up pleasure, leaving her entirely immobile causing her to fall back languidly in his strong hold.

Adjusting her so that she was cradled in his arms, he inhaled the sweet smell of her essence off his finger as he stared into her slowly closing eyes. Her hair was blowing wildly all around him from the wind, giving her an ethereal demeanor.

"I will remember." She whispered lightly but he heard her. She felt his lips press upon hers giving her a gentle kiss before allowing her to sleep.

##

When they reached Inuyasha's forest, she was still fast asleep in his arms. Interesting he thought, if this made her tired what else could he do to her. Stepping off the dragon with her in his arms and her strange bag on his tail, he looked uninterested as her group came running towards him led by the hanyou. Gently shaking her, they all watched as hers eyes fluttered open.

"Sesshoumaru?" she looked at him with question before looking around to see the others. Letting her down, he handed her, her bag, which she promptly put on. As if they didn't have an audience he gently tilted her chin and leaned inches away form her lips.

She closed the rest of the distance as if a reaction, she couldn't help but kiss him, even though she was thoroughly embarrassed, she still had to taste his intoxicating lips. Slowly he pulled away from her and mounted.

"Remember what I said." His emotionless voice spoke to know one in particular. But she knew it was for her.

She turned slowly to see everyone with their jaws hanging open. Smiling gently she started walking towards the well, chanting her spells so that her youkai features will disappear. She heard the calls of Sango and Miroku, yelling for her to wait up, obviously forgetting about the incident. All four of them walked in idle chit chat, except for a certain hanyou, all ignoring the scene they witnessed. As she approached the well, she hugged both the monk and the taijiya.

"When I come back we will hang out and find lots of shards ok."

"Sure thing Kagome." Sango said with her usual warm smile. Looking around she didn't see Inuyasha anywhere, sighing a little she turned around and threw her legs over the well. Maybe he was mad about her leaving as soon as she got here, or maybe he was just mad at seeing his brother. Or it could have been that he saw the kiss, he was overly jealous sometimes, even though he never had a reason to be it wasn't like he would look at her that way or she would look at him like that again. The feelings she had for him were gone, they found a new home to lie in now.

Waving bye she jumped into the well, after the familiar tunnel of blue power she hopped out gracefully with her bag into the shrine house. Double checking her appearance she strolled into her house.

* * * * * *

He was sitting on top of Kaede's hut when two familiar smell wafted by his nose. Yelling to the others he bounded off to the edge of the village where he met them last time. He looked up to see his brother's two headed dragon appear from the clouds. Humph, he growled folding his arms as he watched them descend. Sesshoumaru just always had to have some spectacular entrance. As he was thinking of all the ways he could kick his pompous ass brother's ass across the village a new and very disarming scent surrounded him.

No it couldn't be, she would not allow him to do any such thing to her. Would she? The usual honey and flowery essence of the young miko was not doused in a spicier version. Glaring with narrowed eyes he watched as his brother carried her off the dragon so intimately, showing her a gentleness he was sure he never possessed. Her eyes fluttered open by his prompt, he sat her down and handed her, her giant yellow bag. He was about to stomp up there and drag her off from the asshole, but his feet refused to move as his eyes watched his brother lower his face to hers. But what he couldn't believe he witnessed was Kagome's response to his action. He watched the girl that should have been his, kiss the very brother that tried to kill all of them. Sinking behind the shocked group he watched as she waved to him goodbye and join the group. He stayed far beside them as they walked her to the well, immersed in a frivolous conversation. His nose confirmed the scent as residue from arousal all over her, it was making him sick and uncontrollably hot all at once. All the while his mind was still reeling from the harsh blow sent from her.

He couldn't bare to reveal himself as she left, he didn't know what he would do. But he did know one thing, when she came back, he was going to try and win her back.

* * * * *

She watched as the children played some sort of hunting game for magical jewels, but they were using rocks instead. Shaking her head at the weird game she continued to perfect her skill at "go" (chess), her mind kept rolling back to the morning's events. She was so alarmed that Sesshoumaru did that to Eichiro, but she could not take up for the foolish inu no matter how her heart felt about him. She could smell his want for the miko and it was as bold and clear as a sun filled day. They all knew the lord's temper and his growing possessiveness over Kagome was becoming all too evident. She clenched her fist a bit at the thought of Eichiro's feelings; any other girl would be naturally angered at the competition. But she wasn't she knew Kagome had no interest in Eichiro, and had done nothing to bring forth his actions, no it was all that damn Eichiro's stupid fault.

As he walked through the gardens trying to shake off what happened, the laughter of the young ones interrupted him. He looked to see the kit and the young ningen running around the east gardens. Scanning over the nearby area he spotted Keito, she was obviously concentrating hard on her game that she didn't realize his approach yet. He smirked slightly and side stepped towards her back before stealthily sneaking up behind her. He positioned his hands right over her shoulder so he could startle her.

Ignorant inu, she thought before she reacted just before he was about to make his move. She swiveled swiftly on the bench careful not to jar the stones, and landed both of her feet in his stomach. She watched as he looked at her feet and at her face in surprise, before pushing her legs off, sending the inu soldier into the side of the castle. Turning back around, she heard the claps and laughter of the two children. She smiled handing each of them some sweet candies before they returned to their "magical stone game".

"Oww what was that for?" Prying his body off the wall, he was still shocked she heard him. Rubbing his back for what seemed the hundredth time today he sat down opposite of the game and her.

"For sneaking up on me, and for being extremely dense?" never taking her eyes off the game she made a move against him.

He grunted getting the point, it seems that he needed to learn many lessons today. Making his move he looked up at the rabbit youkai, every since he could remember she was always there with both he and Sesshoumaru. She helped both them through very tough times, she was as old as him but looked the same age as the young mistress.

Moving his stone, he sighed looking up his face against the cool breeze. Winter is coming he thought, as he tried to make sense of the mess he was in. The feel of the mistress in his arms was spectacular, but he knew he was wrong for doing so and stupid for doing it in front of her husband and his best friend no less. What was he thinking, shaking his head at just the mere memory of his actions. From this point on, he would squash the emotions he had for her, Sesshoumaru has been his friend for far too long to waste it like that.

Feeling a weight lift from his shoulders he smiled at Keito and finished the game.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

Sesshoumaru could not help but to allow a miniscule smile grace his face, just thinking about Kagome's reaction, her lips, and what he had in store brought the flames of hell coursing throughout his body. He couldn't help but feel all too thrilled that she wanted it as well, that she gave into him willingly. Just thinking of his glorious intentions on her body was making his loins ache with unbridled desire.

He nearly gave into a victorious laugh when he smelt and witnessed with his very eyes his brother's reaction. He could smell the sadness, hurt, shock, and slight anger all rolled into one giving him a mental boost. The fact that the little runt could have had her with the snap of his finger, but heedlessly let her go made it even better and confirmed him that his brother was a complete imbecile and how he got this far was baffling.

Reaching his home, he quickly jumped off the dragon onto his study balcony. Upon entering he called for Jaken.

"Yes my liege?" he looked at his impassive master through yellow bugged eyes, he could sense his master's excitement dying off to seriousness. I wonder what caused excitement, and why have I Jaken his humble servant of many years, not experienced my lord's excitement. He huffed inwardly at such ill treatment, but dare not show it.

"Send Eichiro to me immediately." He turned before Jaken could reply, giving him the clue he had no intention on discussing anything else.

He stood in the same spot, knowing he would not have to wait long, for the soldier. The knock and the sound of the door opening confirmed his thought. Out of the corner of his eyes he watched as Eichiro stood tall waiting for his response, he could smell the apprehension as he stood in silence.

His gut was doing all sorts of nervous flips waiting for him to say something. He could still remember the taiyoukai's words in his head, from earlier.

~Flashback~

One minute he was hugging her the next his arm was being twisted while he was shoved against Sesshoumaru's big ass claws. The taciturn prince merely leaned beside his head and whispered in his ear a bone chilling warning.

"She is mine Eichiro, if you so much as touch, look, smell, or think of her again I will disembowel you while you watch. Even our history together will not give you hope."

~End of flashback~

"I want you to bring the leader of the human village to me. I want you to be apart of this meeting Eichiro." His voice was his usual emotionless tone, but he knew better.

"Hai I will go immediately, but may I speak freely?" he didn't think he would deny him but he rather ask and be on the safe side. The lord turned and stared at him, with one slender brow raised, indicating his approval.

"Gomen for my actions, you are like a brother to me I had no intention on betraying the trust between us." He bowed deeply. He tried to keep it to the point and quick just as he liked it. He received a deep grunt, telling him he was forgiven and he was to leave.

He was still a little angry at his friend's action earlier, but remembering his own actions to his miko relieved his anger promptly. He smirked as he idly played with the tassel on the curtain as he stared out over his lands, while his mind made new plans for his dear little miko. Every time he thought about her now it was as if he was going to lose his mind because of her absence. He had to admit he really enjoyed her presence, the fact that she would most likely be in the next room he enters or would come bounding into the room he was in made him look forward to his next move. Was this what love was?

He swiped away the tassel with annoyance; he Sesshoumaru did not feel love. He did not and will not love this girl; she was simply his that was all. Love was an emotion he got rid of long ago.

Turning he caught the smell of two very familiar scents, crossing the room to a chair, he sat and waited.

Two small knocks came at the door, growling his approval deeply he watched as two heads popped into the door. Smiling when they caught his platonic eyes the two small figures sat on the floor in front of him. Rin gave him a big smile while she laid down a mat for her and the kit. He watched with mild curiosity as Rin then started to lay down paints and colors, while the kit rolled out some paper. He finally understood what the mat was for, he watched as their clumsy chubby little fingers spilled the paint on the mat. He was positive that Kagome bought that mat purposely for this.

"Tell me kit, have you ever been to Kagome's world?" he stared into the green eyes filled with emotions while is remained cold and indifferent.

"No, only Inuyasha can pass through to her world. Like he is some sort of chosen one or something." He pouted bitterly before continuing. " But she brings me back chocolate while she brings everyone back Ramen noodles."

He got up instantly his mind blocked out the rest of what the kit was saying, all he could concentrate on was the fact that his bastard of a brother could pass to and from his mates world while no one else could. The clinching of his fist was the only noticeable sign of his raging anger over the fact that his brother could have her all to his self in her time. He heard the tinkle of Rin's giggle behind him, reminding him further more he was in the presence of pups.

When she caught his indifferent eye, she smiled and pointed behind him. "Sesshoumaru-sama's tail is funny!" she laughed causing the kit to laugh along with her. Paying attention to what she was talking about he noticed he was swaying his tail rapidly.

Leaving them to there strange globs of colors on paper, he was greeted by Jaken in the main hall.

"Master Eichiro is here with the ningen from the village." Squawking with disgust.

With the toad trailing behind him he stepped out onto the main garden, to see Eichiro land with the ningen dropping him roughly from his youkai cloud.

Kanaye dusted himself off as he looked up to see the stoic western lord. He was looking a little above his ahead, a sign he was not worthy enough to speak to. He couldn't believe that the sweet Kagome inu was married to the cold heartless beast standing in front of him. He waited for the expressionless taiyoukai to say something, but he simply stood there towering over all of them. The inu nearly sparkling in his white robes, while his long silver hair whipped around his unstressed face. Inwardly he wondered why any man could consider calling himself a man if they had a face like that. His reverie was startled as he was shocked by the piercing stare of the amber orbs and the sound of the deep authoritative voice.

"It has come to my attention that you feel that you have no use to me besides menial task."

His heart clinched as to what he would say next, he wasn't quite sure he wanted to hear it. His voice and lack of facial expression gave him no clue as to he was implying. But he held his ground, wiping away all outward fear, whatever happened he would do it with honor.

Sesshoumaru smirked inwardly at the ningen's pathetic attempt for pride, but he continued anyway.

"So I will grant my mate's wish, I will let you become the western land's ningen army. However, you are to be controlled by her, you will do whatever she wishes of you to do. I have no use for you but it seems she has some sort of faith in you, so I will respect her wishes." He turned leaving him speechless; he could barely feel his legs over all the emotions running through him.

"However," he looked up to see the face that could haunt his dreams if he weren't careful. The amber orbs burned with fire as he spoke his next word. "If her life is in danger by any of your foolish mistakes I will torture your village for endless days until my anger his quenched." The excitement he felt a second ago disappeared with haste after those words, but he couldn't dwell on it long before he was snatched up by the massive blue and white haired inu.
