InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Songs About Rain ❯ More Visions and Dreams ( Chapter 5 )

Sesshomaru walked through the pouring rain listening to Jakens' shrieks as Rin splashed him by jumping into the little puddles that had pooled on the ground. That woman…she had been so…different. And that vision, it had felt so real. Sesshomaru was confused, though no one would be able to tell by looking at him. That was the way he likes it: being a cold mysterious person to others because then he was left alone.

Or at least it was supposed to work that way. Somewhere along the line he had picked up that insufferable sycophantic imp and then he had not only resurrected a human but she traveled with him under his protection.

A ghost of a smile flashed across Sesshomaru's face too fast to see as he thought of Rin. While as a rule, he despised humans for the weal annoyances they were, he had to admit there were some he didn't despise. Run was a bright spot in his otherwise monotonous day. She was always so cheerful and annoyed Jaken so well that he had come to care for the little girl in an almost fatherly way.

While he hated Inuyasha for having the sword he so desired, he held a grudging respect for the half-demon. Considering how easily Sesshomaru could kill most every full demon that crossed his path, the fact that his half-demon brother could survive so many encounters spoke to his strength and determination. In his grudging way Sesshomaru was... proud of him, thought it didn't change his disgust at Inuyasha's dirty blood or Sesshomaru's desire to kill him.

Inuyasha's human friends also had a small amount of Sesshomaru's respect. The demon slayer was very skilled and the monk as well. The odd priestess Inuyasha seemed infatuated with had unequaled spiritual powers. She might even be stronger than that clay creature that pretends she's a living person.

But, this new demon Jamila. She was exceptional. Beautiful, deadly, and kind; possibly too kind but that didn't mean she was weak. After all…if it did would he really keep a human with him.

But Jamila…he thought, she was shocking. Granted a number of demoness's wore little clothing, few could have worn the outfit she wore with such grace and comfort. But that pendent…when I had touched the glowing surface I had been pulled into that vision…casual sex was not something dog demons do and on Jamilas shoulder had been my mate mark. She was my mate! A cat…well maybe the fact that she was a cat wasn't quite a large issue. Other demons mixed breeds and it only strengthened certain abilities in the offspring. The small fox demoness, Chane, had mated with Lin of the wolf tribe and their offspring had both the fox magic and the wolf strength.

Sesshomaru shook the thoughts from his head and turned at Rins' delighted squeak. “Lady!”

Jamila bent and returned the hug Rin had given her. “Hello Rin.” She looked up at Sesshomaru and bowed her head slightly giving him a small smile. “Lord Sesshomaru.”

The tone of her voice made it apparent to him that she was remembering the vision. Sesshomaru inclined his head back at her and then sat cross-legged below one of the tall oak trees. Rin ran off around the clearing chasing Jaken and Jamila came to sit beside Sesshomaru. The crescent moon she wore swayed toward him glowing pointedly before settling against her tanned stomach.

“Are you angry I followed you, Lord Sesshomaru?” She asked her voice soft.

“No.” He replied just as gentle surprising himself, both with the softness and the truth.

“Then what is bothering you?” Jamila asked.

Sesshomaru thought about her question for a moment before answering. “What was that vision?”

Jamila raised one of her knees and crossed her arms over it. “The woman who raised me gave my sister and I a way to find out who our destined mates were. The vision was her way of saying that it is you.” Jamila looked over at the stoic lord and grabbed a lock of his silvery white hair. She let it flow through her fingers before turning to look at Rin and Jaken. “However, fate is never entirely certain, so it might not come to pass. You do not need to feel tricked, or trapped, or anything.” Jamila said. She looked up at the twilight sky silently. It took most of the day to get that human man and his child to safety but they are safe. `Demons in this land have run rampant lately. Be careful where you travel.' The man had said when she took her leave. Jamila thought about the woods she had passed through and considered what it meant.

Sesshomaru didn't respond. He was too busy thinking about what she had said. Fate can be changed of course of if I must be honest does it need to be? My life wouldn't be changed by the arrival of this cat. If we mated I would continue to do what I decide not what she dictates. She would merely be a vessel for my pups, nothing more. (A.N. I know this whole chap had been a bit O.C. of Sessy but Fluffy needs a personality and depth. Sorry if you have problems with it. Its as best as I can do, don't whine in review, I won't change it. Thank you)

Jamila swished her tail then stood and leapt into the tree above him. She curled up on one of the larger boughs and feel asleep the only sight of her from where he say was her tail dangling over the edge and the top of her head with its twitching ears. She was alert even in her sleep.

Rin came over to Sesshomaru's side and curled up on the ground beside him. “Good night my lord!” She said smiling at him sweetly before closing her eyes and falling instantly asleep.

Jaken ran over and began to scold Rin for `sleeping when surely the Lord wishes to move on' but Sesshomaru punched Jaken, knocking him unconscious as he flew to land beside Ah-Un on the other side of the clearing. Ah-Un looked up then snorted at Jaken and laid their heads back down. Looking down at Run made a tiny smile flutter across Sesshomaru's face. He then looked back up at the sky and continued in his considerations.

I woke when something touched my ears and I tensed ready to attack the intruder. But I recognized the scent of Sesshomaru behind me and I relaxed as he continued to touch my ears gently. I opened one eye and looked back over my shoulder at him and smiled lazily. “Hello.” I rolled over and began to run my claws gently down his chest and my tail trailed along his legs tickling him.

“Hello.” He said leaning down to kiss me. He gripped my bottom lip between his fangs gently before releasing it to kiss me passionately.

I moaned and pulled him close to me until our bare chests were touching. I ran my hands down his smooth warm back and kissed him back. “Sessy…” I moaned as he moved on top of me and took his lips from mine. I leaned up and gently began to bath his neck until he pressed me firmly down into the blankets. He positioned himself at my entrance and kissed me again as I welcomed his inward thrust. We continued to caress and kiss until we reached the peak and just as we cried out…

Jamila woke wide-eyed and gasping for breath. She looked down at Sesshomaru who was gazing up at her with the same look he had had after the first vision but with more hunger. “Did…” She cleared the husky tone from her voice before she tried again. “Did you just have a vision or a dream?”

Sesshomaru inclined his head in a slight nod, his eyes pinned on hers a slight red cast to them.

Jamila felt her heart begin to flutter faster as she felt her own demon's arousal increase under his hungry gaze but her head snapped up as Kanika landed on the branch beside her, hitting her down to the ground.
