InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sesshoumaru, sit! ❯ There's a first time for everything ( Chapter 14 )

Recap from last chapter:

Eat this, it will sweeten your breath, she mocked in her head. I swear, I don't know how I put up with him!

`He didn't even try anything.'

Yeah! I mean, no…! Where did that stupid thought come from? She shook her head.

`But it's the truth. I mean, who wouldn't want to play with someone who looks like that?'

Amaya blinked, cocking her head and blushing. I…I can't be thinking this…nonsense!

`You're not. But being telepathic, I can tell you what you are. If you want.'

The schoolgirl gasped, turning slowly to her right…

She screamed.

------------------------- 

CHAPTER 14:

Amaya screamed, jumping around like a lunatic. "Get it off, get it off!"

She gasped in horror when Sesshoumaru barged through her natural private quarters. "Ah! Get out, get out!" she grabbed the discarded piece of the kimono and covered herself, expertly jumping about in fright at the same time.

The lord combed his surroundings with piercing yellow eyes, his sword drawn and ready. "What is wrong, woman?" He resisted the urge to sigh at her semi nakedness. Why was she always indecent when in danger?

"Bug, bug!"

He blinked when she approached bouncily, pointing to her shoulder.

"Bugbug…" he repeated warily. He could not figure out why she was acting so oddly…more oddly than usual, he corrected himself with a snort.

She had forgotten her initial embarrassment, switching her attention to removing the pest with the speaking abilities.

`Idiot. Don't you know a fairy when you see one?' a small, incredulous voice asked.

"A fairy?!" She looked again. Those dragonfly wings on its back had scared the bejesus out of her.

Sesshoumaru began to get alarmed when the girl froze and cocked her head. She looked on the verge of insanity. Amaya yelped when he grabbed her shoulders and began sniffing the air around her.

"Um…" she stammered, blushing, eyes wide. "What are you doing?"

He gave her an irritated glance before continuing his exploration. He could still sense nothing, but she seemed to.

`Mmmm…he smells nice.'

"Eh…?" she sniffed once unconsciously, eyes widening appreciatively. One of those silly cologne commercials popped in her head, where the ladies trail behind the guy. This was much more…natural. And alluring. Yes, he…he does smell pretty good. She turned to the small, grinning, plumb lady on her shoulder.

`You just said that out loud.'

She froze again and gazed upward. Sesshoumaru was looking back at her, his face showing surprise. Oops! Stupid fairy! She fidgeted nervously. He let her go and stood back suddenly, frowning.

`Tsk. You said that out loud, too.' The small lady smoothed down her grass green dress and lay on her back, hands behind her head, one leg crossed over the other. Her wings were flattened neatly behind her back. Amaya scowled at her, cheeks flaming.

"Jaken," he called evenly, eyes still on her.

One second, two seconds…voila! He came exploding in.

"Yes, maste-" He choked, pointing at the girl. "Ningen! Trying to tempt the master?!"

"What? No!' She flushed even deeper, re-noticing her not-so-proper state. "Why you-!"

This time, it wasn't she who sent him flying into a tree. She hadn't seen any movement, but she knew who had.

"Jaken," he called again in irritation, as if he weren't the one to send him 20 feet away.

The bush ahead shook and the frog came crawling through, sputtering. "Y-yes, master?"

"There is a fairy on the onna. Remove it."

`It? I'm insulted.'

"Shut up!" The lord looked at her angrily. "Er…not you," she waved dismissively.

"Fairy? But, my lord, fairies cannot be removed. They leave on their own," he said nervously. Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed at that.

`The ugly munchkin is obviously well informed.'

"Ah…I'm stuck with her? She's muddling my brain!" the girl cried in agitation. "Can't you hear the things she keeps saying?"

Sesshoumaru quirked an eyebrow at her show of temper. "I hear no one but you."

`You're the only one who can hear and see me. I've chosen you to have fun with,' she explained with a grin. `I should be insulted you think so badly of me, but we fairies get that a lot, so…I won't hold it against you.' She shrugged her little shoulder.

Amaya stared at her occupied part with bulging eyes. "You shut up! Now I'm going to look like I'm crazy, talking to myself. Like I need any more crap happening to me." she pointed at her shoulder angrily. "You.do not.exist. I'm ignoring you."

The fairy sighed. `Alright. Name's Aneko, by the way. Nice to meet you, Amaya-chan.'

"No!" If she started thinking of her by name she would be harder to ignore! Amaya made to plug her ears. A fatal mistake. The kimono went sliding down around her bare feet.

Sesshoumaru stared, the view much clearer than the last time, or any other time. That Damned woman was too clumsy for her own good.

She blanched. "Sit!"

He let out a stunned growl before his face, along with the rest of his body, was imprinted in the soil.

Amaya stared at him for a second before snapping out of it and grabbing her uniform bag. "Ah…sorry!" she ran off to another private spot. He's definitely going to kill me now!

Jaken was too busy being horrified to start insulting her. Sesshoumaru snarled and cursed way before he could get up, and when he could, he propped himself on his elbows, eyes spitting gold fire. "I'll kill you!"

The fairy laughed heartily on the fleeing female. `Oh-hoh-ho!!! This is going to be fun!'

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

You're the only one I don't want to have children with!

He couldn't get her words out of his head. They echoed repeatedly, painfully, reminding him of the ways he had mistreated her. Of course he had never realized it until this new Sango materialized. But she had never been this upset before. He only wished he had understood how she felt sooner. Without this unwanted lesson. Miroku sighed and hunched his shoulders, holding his staff next to him. He had never imagined her doing something like this. Not in a million years.

And the scary thing was, she was a great success. Every man grinned at her flattery, young or old, trailing after her like a love-struck idiot. He had nearly exploded when he saw her grope the innkeeper's son. She looked at the man so adoringly, suggestively, while the latter flushed and stuttered.

Miroku had dragged her back to the inn, an angry growl escaping, giving away his falsely calm exterior. He never had trouble keeping his temper in check- in fact it came easily- but this was beyond his endurance. Sango stared when he let out a curse.

Miroku-sama! You're a monk! She'd gasped.

Kagome, Inuyasha and Shippo were seated at the low table for an early dinner. Kagome voiced her worry about the houshi. He had a distant, troubled look, and he wasn't eating.

"It's his own damn fault, turning the taijiya into a pervert like him!" Inuyasha said loudly, after swallowing a mouthful of rice.

Miroku snapped back to reality. "Did you say something?" He turned to the hanyou, who snorted and kept digging in. The monk frowned and looked around. "Where is Sango-sama?"

"We have no idea. She said she'd eaten earlier and had some business to attend to," Kagome answered honestly.

"What?!" He was up and out of the room in an instant.

Kagome tried calling him back but it was no use. "Inuyasha, go after him!" but he didn't even pause in devouring his dinner. "Inuyasha! Aren't you worried he'll do something crazy?!" She yanked on his bangs to get his attention.

"Ouch! Kagome! I'm busy here."

"I can't believe you!"

"Idiot. They need to solve their misunderstandings on their own." He began to eat again. "Besides," he said, his mouth full. "it's not our problem."

"Inuyasha, sit!"

"Argh!" he dove into the table and it tipped over, every dish, sauce and utensil crashing down on top of him.

Kagome glared into space and Shippo fell back with gales of laughter, having already finished his own dinner. 

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

"I hate you!" a certain school girl cried at a certain demon from her position.

`No, you don't.'

"You be quiet, stupid fairy!"

`It's Aneko. A-ne-co.'

"Whatever. Stop talking to me!"

`I'm not, idiot. I'm communicating with you telepathically.'

"And stop calling me idiot!"

Sesshoumaru's punishment for her subduing him was cruel in her eyes, and she never missed a chance to remind him of it. `I hate you' was only one way of showing her displeasure. He only gave her an uncaring look in response.

"I want to ride on Ah-Un!"

"No."

"Argh! You just want to stare at my underwear, you hentai!" She beat at his back, but it was like trying to knock down a steel wall.

"I told you before, woman: I would never be interested in you," he replied calmly, not slowing his moderate pace. "Now, be quiet."

"I hate you!"

`No, you don't.'

"I thought I told you to shut up!" she yelled.

`No. You told me to be quiet.'

She wanted to scream. "Tell her to go away!" She propped herself up on his back and looked at him over her shoulder. "She talks too much!"

"As do you." He looked back at her, quirking a brow.

She turned red. "You're horrible!" She went limp against his back, sighing.

A minute passed, and she blinked, a blush and a grin starting. This should make her feel better.

Sesshoumaru jerked suddenly and stared back at her in a rare show of shock. He stopped in mid run, and glared at her underwear-clad backside as the folds of her skirt fluttered back down. "What do you think you're doing?" His voice was strained.

"Nothing," she said innocently and pinched him again.

A nanosecond later she was off his shoulder and standing upright on the ground, a very angry lord looking down at her and grasping her wrists. "That is enough."

"Why? You get to stare at my underpants!" She stuck her nose in the air defiantly. His behind was really shapely, and so very grope worthy -she'd never pinched anyone there before, but he was really getting out the worst of her. Besides, she was not going to just submit…as hard as that was. He was scary when he was mad…like right now.

Amaya broke out in a cold sweat, barely keeping herself from stepping back. She cleared her throat, trying to break the deafening silence.

"You will do as I say," he ordered, his hands tightening slightly.

She gulped, but didn't look away. "And what if I don't?" My mouth will be the death of me! He looked furious. She felt him shake, as if he didn't know what to say to that or do about it. H-he can't kill me. What else can he do? She thought in alarm.

"I have had enough of your nonsense. If you disobey me again…" As you have countless times, he thought with renewed rage.

"Hey! Don't start with me!" Her anxiety turned to offense. "It's not like I can't just si- umph!" He more than surprised her when he yanked her against him with a snarl, slamming his lips onto hers.

She gasped against his mouth in shock. She felt him press hard against her, and knew it was meant to silence and punish. Bastard! She thought, enraged. She struggled against him, pushing at his chest and trying to kick at him. He grunted when she hit his leg, pushing her back a few steps against a tree and pinning her legs and arms with his own.

She couldn't believe it! He's gone mad! She cried in her mind, still struggling. And he was confusing her, his touch rough one minute and tender the next. Confusion was common, however, when she was dealing with him. Even though she should be feeling violated, what was happening felt more like a seduction. And to make matters worse he kissed her more softly, almost as if he'd forgotten why he started in the first place.

Her rage was fading away, but she didn't want it to. It shouldn't! She had to break free! She could feel herself begin to respond and she didn't want that to happen either. Her will weakened even more when he brushed his surprisingly soft mouth against hers repeatedly, sending wavy bolts of electricity through her stunned body. This can't be the Sesshoumaru I know, she thought hazily, going limp and beginning to kiss him in return, unthinkingly. And naturally so, since all her reasoning processes seemed to have shut down.

Sesshoumaru stiffened at the unexpected caress. He had just begun to pull away, his recent action disturbingly impulsive. The female was a dilemma. He certainly had not planned on savoring her taste for so long. He was a demon lord, above such frivolities. And with a human, nonetheless.

He gasped audibly when she traced her tongue experimentally between his lips, growling low in his throat when she caught and tugged on his lower lip. He expected her to hate him for it, but she was reacting differently. He felt himself being pulled into her spell, and almost against his will, he released her arm, pushing clawed fingers through silky, dark tresses, messaging her scalp lightly. She moaned, obviously liking the simple ministration. He growled in response.

Hearing their combined sounds, her eyes burst open, her floating senses crashing back into her head. She whimpered against him in horror, renewing her attempts to shove him away.

`Holy hell! I didn't expect it to go this far! Wooh!'

His hold on her slackened almost immediately. He rested his head against the top of hers for an instant before moving away, an air of disbelief about him.

It was sort of weird, feeling him untangle his hand from her hair, when she'd forgotten that he put it there in the first place. She gave a final push, noticing, in the back of her mind, his unsteady heartbeats….along with her own. His eyes were back to their usual coolness, looking down at her haughtily.

Se flinched.

He took two steps back, allowing them both some air, then turned about, walking away as if nothing had happened.

It felt like one big, fat rejection, and she hadn't even been the one to initiate it. Hey! Where are you going?! You can't leave me here!

`You might have to say that out loud, dear.'

Amaya didn't really hear her. The man punishes her for trying to maintain her decency, then forces himself on her because she'd retaliated, forcing her…at first, she thought guiltily. And then he goes off, just like that. And although she was furious with him she couldn't bring herself to sit him again. Not right now.

She never wanted to go back home more…she felt disappointed. Why…? She asked herself before moving on to more pressing matters. Should I follow him? Do I want to? Did she have a choice? It was too dangerous for her to even think about staying alone.

Yet she just stood there all the same.

Aneko looked at the large, averted face, feeling sorry for the confused teenager. That cute guy needed to be taught a lesson on how to treat women. He was clearly clueless. The small, yet too-large-for-her-size fairy sighed, and waited.

She could hear her victim's thoughts, but they weren't the only thoughts she could spy upon. The lord had some very interesting thoughts of his own. Of course, because of the Fairies' Code of Ethics, she couldn't tell them to anyone but the owner. That was such a fun-killer sometimes.

`Don't worry,' she supplied simply.

Amaya turned to her, still perched on the same shoulder. Oh, Gods. She must have had one hell of a view!

`Yes, I did. But I didn't really look. I'm a pervert, but not that kind of a pervert.' She shrugged, sitting up. She would tease her about this later, when she wasn't so upset about it.

Amaya flopped on her butt none too gracefully, the fairy jumping at the sudden `earthquake'. She pulled her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, resting her head miserably over her knees. "I really do hate him," she whispered.

Aneko didn't say anything this time.

Thankfully, her bout of self-pity was cut off when she noticed a big figure descend from the sky. "Ah-Un." But she didn't sound too happy. He's throwing me off on them. A hit and run kind of guy, eh?

`He's obviously not completely unaffected by what happened.' Aneko said. She would have figured it out even if she hadn't read his mind, so it was OK to say so.

Amaya glared at her. "What would you know? He's a heartless cad!"

"No, Amaya-sama. Sesshoumaru-sama knows how to hide his feelings," Rin smiled, still ontop of the dragon. "The pretty lady is right."

Amaya looked ahead to the little girl. "Rin!" When had they landed? Did she…see us?

`No, but she can figure things out. She's not as unaware as she looks.' Aneko giggled happily. `She called me pretty, after all."

She can see her, too?! "I thought I was the only one!" the school girl cried angrily at the fairy.

Aneko gave a playful leer. `Are you jealous?'

Amaya slapped her forehead in exasperation.
