InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Starlight ❯ Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Chapter 9

A/N: To let you know, *these* are outside voices, our main characters can't hear them, but you can. Kinda like talking with the tv on. And this chapter has a whole lotta lime. So be...forewarned. Or something.

The sheets were cool against Sesshomaru's skin and he took a full breath of their clean scent.

*How are you supposed to do this?*

*Just drop it in...*

The scent of his used poison still lingered, but Sesshomaru ignored it. (It was no more than what I deserved. Losing control of my emotions...twice.)

*Is that it?*

*I think that's right.*

Putting his arms behind his head, he stared up at the wooden ceiling. An image rose to his mind's eye and he was up in the sky again. Kagome was in front of him, clinging to him for dear life. She looked up at him, her face flushed and her lips slightly parted. He felt her grip on his haori tighten. Sesshomaru's eyes shot open and he looked down and cursed his traitorous body for arching towards an illusion.

*How do you know when it's starting?*

*Venus said we'd be able to tell really easy...*

Despite his curse, an image came again, and she was in the hot springs, her bare back to him, hands over her eyes. He reached out to brush her hair over her shoulders, and she gasped quietly, her hands falling to the water. Running his own hands over her arms, he pulled her slowly around to face him...

Sesshomaru sat up straight and let out a loud growl of frustration. His anger echoed off the walls and servants a few rooms down awoke and whispered among themselves.

(Let them gossip. Gods, what is wrong with me?!) His hands ran over his face and clasped them on the top of his head. (Why can't I stop this?!)

*Um, I think it's starting...*

He closed his eyes again, laid back down and took a deep breath, trying to ignore the sudden need throbbing inside of him. Her skin, her bare skin, brushed his chest and he jerked up again. His hands went to his chest, where he was sure he had felt her touch him. Clenching his hands to fists, Sesshomaru tried vainly to calm his breathing. (You are being ridiculous. She is not here, she will never-) Her hands soothed him, played over his back, teasing him, finally sending Sesshomaru from his bed, out the window, to find the source of his desire.

* * *

"Hmmm, I think it's safe to say it's kicked in now..."

"You don't think he'll...hurt her, do you?"

"She can take care of herself..."

"But what if-"

"Stop being so nervous and watch. Look, he's found her already."

* * *

Kagome wondered whether she should wash her hair. (It has been a few days...) Just as she was about to dip under the water, she felt something coming her way. (What's that?) Looking around she saw nothing in the brush around the springs. (But I know I feel something...) Something hit the ground behind her and before she could turn around, a pair of clawed hands clasped onto her shoulders. (Oh no, please don't...) A firm body pressed against her back and it suddenly hit her that Inuyasha wasn't that tall. (But who would-)

"I found you..."

Kagome's head snapped up. (Sesshomaru??)

"I have suffered, Kagome. Is it you doing this?" Sesshomaru asked, nuzzling into her damp hair. "You smell so good, Kagome." He took a deep breath and breathed into her ear, sending goosebumps down her arms and she gasped. "Why do I keep thinking about you..."

Trying to regain control of herself, Kagome leaned away from him and turned her head to look at him. "I don't know why, but-" He met her eyes and the fierce desire in his molten gaze was suddenly very seductive. "But..." Nothing more would spill from her mind and she shivered despite herself.

*Damn, we won't even need to give her any, she's doing all on her own...*

Slowly releasing her arms, Sesshomaru's arms enclosed her shoulders, willing her around to face him. "Quiet now..." He leaned forward and tilted Kagome's head towards his.

Still semi-conscious, Kagome tried to fight her body, which betrayed her to pull though the water separating them, finding its place fully against him. (He's-he's wearing pants...thank God...)

As she leaned into him, a bare scent tickled her nose. It was faint, but distinct enough to pull most of her mind back to reality. (What was...that?) She was suddenly aware of Sesshomaru trailing kisses down to her neck. The scent was definitely there, and vaguely familiar. (What is it, what is it, think...)

*Uh, oh...*

*Do you think she'll remember it?*

Sesshomaru's tail moved around to encircle her and hold her against him. It was suddenly very hard to think as a bead of sweat ran down Kagome's back and the feel of Sesshomaru's bare chest against her own only sent more heat shooting through her body, most directed towards the apex of her thighs, where something hard pressed against her. (Oh God no, oh God if I orgasm now, I won't be able to stop...No. That smell. Focus...) She found the scent again and concentrated, willing herself to stop leaning into Sesshomaru and to stop stroking his back. (Stop it, stop it, what was that smell, where did I smell it before... Kaede, no...Sango, no...)

Sesshomaru suddenly separated from her, just an inch to look her in the eye. "I get the distinct feeling, you are not..." His hand moved swiftly between her thighs and Kagome gasped, falling against him, grasping his shoulders for support. "Concentrating."

"Oh, no, no, no...please no..." Kagome moaned into his chest, her breath coming in gasps, the humid air around them only fueling her heat.

"Yes..." Sesshomaru purred in her ear, trailing his other hand down her back.

"Deysite..." She breathed suddenly, and snapped her head up. "That's it..." With a powerful effort, Kagome pulled away from Sesshomaru, and grabbed his lower hand. "Please stop now... I... I know why you're doing this..."

*Oh shit.*

*There it all goes...*

*And it was such a good show...*

The words caught Sesshomaru's attention. "Yes...?" He settled for resting his hands on her hips, tracing circles on her submerged skin.

"Deysite." She breathed, finally getting control over her body again. "A potion from the goddess of Venus used to send people..." She suddenly blushed and looked away. "To make them...you know, like..."

"Go into heat." Sesshomaru completed in a low voice. "And you say, I've been infected..." His eyes trailed down her body.

Suddenly realizing she was naked, Kagome snatched Sesshomaru's tail from around her waist and held it around her front, barely concealing herself. "Yes, you have. Now stop that." She added as Sesshomaru moved his tail to pull her closer.

"So, now we have the `why'..." He murmured, and grasped her shoulders again before she could move away again. "But I simply do not care anymore..." He nuzzled into her neck once more.

Sesshomaru pulled his tail away, and Kagome was once again speechless. (But, he, what...) His hot skin against hers drove any remaining thoughts away. Her fingers suddenly buried in his hair, she held him against her and moaned loudly as he began to stroke her heat.

"No...no...no..." A weak voice came from Kagome as the pressure slowly built up.

"I think yes..." He purred as caressed deeper, and slowly began to undo the ties of his pants.

Her fingernails bit into his back as she moaned for release. (No, no, oh God stop, please, please, please, what if-) Those two words dropped her passion like a brick. "What if I get pregnant?"

*I thought she had her memories?*

*I guess not all of them...*

The words shot into Sesshomaru as well. He stopped and straightened. "Wait, the child," He took an unsteady breath. "If, you and I..." His eyes squeezed shut, almost in confusion. "No. I won't."

*Damn.*

His eyes shot open and he gasped. Kagome, naked, leaned closer to him, looking up at him, concern etched into her face. "Are you-" She began quietly, but was cut off as Sesshomaru stumbled away from her, sending small currents through the water.

"No..." He growled, lifting his hands to look at them. "I-I lost my-" His hands clenched to fists and his eyes darkened. He let out a snarl of anger and jumped out of the pool. Kagome flinched at the sound of his anger, and pulled though the water to another edge. As she reached out for her towel, Sesshomaru collapsed, falling to the hard ground in the first ungraceful move Kagome had ever seen him make.

"Noooo..." His voice wavered. "No!" His hands went to his head, burying in the tussled hair, his nails biting into the scalp, bringing spots of blood to the ivory strands. "I couldn't, stop, IT!" His poison sent wisps of green smoke into the air and Kagome gasped.

Jumping out of the pool herself, Kagome snatched the towel around her and ran over to him. "Stop it!" She yelled, grabbing his wrists.

"Get off of me, woman." He snarled up at her, his eyes blood red. "Human." He accused, growling, digging his nails deeper, sending bare flashes of pain through his face.

"No!" Kagome screamed and in a flash of fuschia, she managed to pull his hands from his head. Wrapping her own arms around his head, she pulled him against her, letting his head fall to the nape of her neck. "I won't let you do this to yourself.." She whispered, tears pulling at her voice.

Sesshomaru let her enfold him, and his mind slowed down. (No one, no one has ever-) Once again, Inuyasha's mother rose up in his mind as she tried to embrace him. `It will be okay, Sesshomaru, your mother died loving you...' He had whipped around at the mention of his mother and slapped her full across the face. `Do not dare to speak of my mother or even presume to touch me in that pathetic attempt at comfort. You are not my mother, you are nothing...'

And now, another human, Kagome, dare to touch him, to hold him so chastely against her in her own free will.

"Please don't..." Kagome's weak cries brought him from his thoughts.

His arms reached out on their own and by the time Sesshomaru realized what he was doing, he had brought her body full against his, feeling its lithe firmness under his touch.

Sleep suddenly rose behind his eyes and he pulled gently from her. She looked at him in worry as he straightened. Removing one hand from her back, Sesshomaru brought it to her chin and lifted it. (Even though...we can never..) And he kissed her.

(She is only mortal.) Though the thought rang in his head like a distant bell, but he ignored it and pulled her closer.

* * *

"Awww... how cute."

"Is it really him now?"

"Yeah... That stuff got blasted from his system when he started thinking about kids and stuff."

"That sort of stuff will put a bit of a damper on things."

"But she remembered the Deysite, why didn't she remember that she won't-"

"She hasn't gotten all her memories back."

"Bummer."

"Totally."

"But how are we supposed to fix it? She can't be doing this half-remembering thing..."

"You know what, Starlights, I think it's time for a little road trip."

There you go! As you may have noticed, I decided to up the rating, due to this and future scenes. As I've said before, I've never really written scenes like this, so input is really appreciated. So, review please!

Oh, and I just realized this past week while watching the anime, that the fluffy thing on Sesshomaru's shoulder actually isn't his tail. I was watching the episode where he meets Rin and when he's injured in the forest, that fluffy thing his under his back, with two the two ends of it showing. I guess it must just be something he wears, armor or something. But since I've gotten so attached to the idea that it's his tail, I'm keeping it that way. ^_^
