The Curse of the Demon Lord
The forest of Feudal Japan was quiet in the early evening of summer. Flashes of lightening could be seen on the horizon, followed by loud booms of thunder. All of the forest inhabitants had already found shelter from the oncoming storm.
A lone Inu Youkai was all that was seen running through the forest in a flash of white. He had to find the shelter of his den before the rain came down. While as a youkai he could not get ill from being doused in the summer rain, the bundle he carried could. The inu continued his run through the lush forest of the Feudal Era.
He recalled what had happened earlier that day, how he had battled the wolf prince for the mating rights to the female he held in his arms. Sesshomaru had to laugh but kept it inside, a slight smirk playing across his face.
The battle against Naraku had been fought and won. After gathering his part of the jewel of four souls and the shard in Kohaku, the shard hunters had to gather Koga’s shards in order for Kagome to complete the jewel. After replenishing the groups supplies in the village of Edo then began the trek to the Eastern Lands and to the caves that Koga’s tribe lived in.
Figuring that there would be trouble with the wolf prince, Sesshomaru joined the group only if the kit and Rin were to stay with Kaede in the village. Agreeing with the terms, much to Inuyasha’s dismay, Kagome said her goodbyes to the children and led the way to the East.
The inu Lord continued to keep to himself walking at the rear of the group. He had chosen that position for strategic reasons; he could watch as Kagome walked. Her tight behind swaying in that indecently short green skirt she wore. While he felt she should dress more appropriately, the male in him enjoyed the show.
Kagome was completely unaware of the demon watching her from behind as she and Inuyasha bickered between themselves about taking a break. Inuyasha continued to complain about humans and their need to rest and eat, to which Kagome sat him into the ground. ÒWell excuse us for being human!Ó yelled the incensed female. ÒEven with Naraku being dead and the jewel almost being completed, do you have to be such an insensitive jerk? It’s not like we have to be anywhere right this minute!Ó she continued to yell.
While Kagome continued to berate the hanyou, the rest of the group sat in the shade enjoying the chance to rest and cool down. It was the middle of summer and they had yet to see relief in the form of rain. There had been a drought in the Western Lands, causing crops to whither and people to starve, causing unrest for the Lord of those Lands. It was unusual for such a thing to happen but not unheard of in any of the other lands.
Sesshomaru sat on the opposite side of the humans and the hanyou, choosing a tree to sit and lean his back against. One leg stretched out while one was bent at the knee allowing the demon to rest an arm. Staring off into the sky, Sesshomaru thought about the issues plaguing the land of his birth. He knew what had to happen in order to end the drought and what he had to do. He just didn’t want to rush things.
The propensity for domination and supreme conquest controlled many demons and made the Kami stop and think. They had to think of a way to keep the lording demons under some kind of control, so they came up with a curse. The curse was to protect the land and the people of that land from their demon rulers who would use them for personal gain.
Four families controlled the lands of Japan. Those families were tied to the land that they ruled thanks to the curse placed on them by the Kami. If the Lord or Lady were unhappy in their union, the land would whither and die and nothing would grow. If the union was happy and fruitful, the land would be fertile and flourish. When the heir from a union became Lord of the land, he had 100 years to find a mate before the land would begin to lose its fertility.
Sesshomaru had been the Lord of the Western Lands since his father’s passing over one hundred and four years ago, and his land was dying.
But he had a plan and her name was Higurashi Kagome.
Yes, the human-hating demon lord was going to make Kagome his mate. No, she didn’t know it yet. He was waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Little did he know it was in the form of the wolf prince Koga.
Once the tachi had stepped foot in the Eastern territories they were greeted by a dust storm in the form of the wolf prince himself, shortly followed by his betas Ginta and Hakkaku.
ÒKagome! How is my woman?Ó Koga began as he swept her into his arms and spun around before putting her back down on her own two feet.
A little dizzy from the unplanned spinning, hands on her hips Kagome replied with a hard glare, ÒFor the hundredth time, I’m not your woman!Ó
Miroku, trying to diffuse the situation approached the prince and explained the reason for showing up. ÒPrince Koga, if I may? We have defeated Naraku and Kagome needs to complete the Shikon no Tama. May she have your shards?Ó
Completely changing the subject, Koga exclaimed, ÒCome! We must celebrate Naraku’s defeat with my pack. Follow me!Ó he ordered and took off towards his home and pack leaving Ginta and Hakkaku to lead the inu tachi to their destination.
Koga must have alerted the tribe of the destruction of the evil spider hanyou because what the group saw could not have been a normal day for the wolf pack. In the early evening hours when they had arrived, the group found the wolf pack had hunted and prepared a huge feast for the celebration. There was a bonfire in the center of a circle with many of Koga’s pack mates sitting and conversing.
As the group approached the circle of Koga’s wolf pack, many of the youkai rushed to speak to the members who had defeated Naraku, those males who approached Kagome were growled at by the inu of the pack. After the greetings and thanks had begun to die down, two females of Koga’s pack took Kagome off to one of the caves. They didn’t get very far as Sesshomaru stepped in front of the and with a growl asked ÒWhere are you taking the priestess?Ó
One of the females replied, ÒPrince Koga asked that we bathe and dress her for the festivities. Nothing more.Ó
Sesshomaru glared at the three females smelling no deceit, then stepped aside and said, ÒYou may proceed.Ó
Kagome was a little perturbed by the demon Lord interrupting and therefore postponing her bath, but decided to let it go. She was going to get a bath and a change of clothing and nothing was going to get in her way!
The two females, Aiko and Aoi, were sisters and very loyal to their prince. What Kagome did not know is that they were to prepare Kagome for her mating to Koga. The sisters were honored that he would trust them to prepare the one who would be the Alpha female of the pack. The wolf prince had not given up on her and figured that by announcing the betrothal in front of his pack and her friends that she would go along with it.
Aiko and Aoi took Kagome to Koga’s cave where it housed its own hot spring. There they undressed and bathed Kagome in scented oils of roses and vanilla, a combination that was an aphrodisiac to canines. Once bathed, Aiko brought an outfit of fur, similar to what Koga wore. It would be a blatant show of ownership, but Kagome was not aware. While Aiko went to gather the clothing, Aoi helped Kagome dry off. Then the females helped to dress her in the furs, showing Kagome how to work the ties and how everything fit. Lastly, they put Kagome’s hair up in a high ponytail, her hair flowing down to the middle of her back and resembling more like their prince.
Aoi went outside to let Koga know that Kagome was ready, to which he nodded and stood up. As he prepared to speak to the assemblage, Aiko and Kagome walked towards the group to join her friends, noticing that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were not present. Koga began to speak, ÒMy loyal pack mates. It is time for me to take a mate. I have chosen the strongest female I have ever come across, and she is a sister of this pack.Ó
Kagome completely missing the announcement sat next to Sango, who took in Kagome’s appearance. Knowing the signs, Sango tried to explain to her friend her situation, but was interrupted by Koga. ÒKagome, will you please come here?Ó he addressed the girl. Sango looked at Koga and then to Kagome and tried to stop her, ÒKagome, you don’t understand. Don’t go up there.Ó
Kagome, being completely naive of the situation, waived Sango off and stood up to approach her friend Koga. ÒKagome, you have accepted my attentions and gifts. It’s time we became mates.Ó
Before Kagome could respond to Koga’s declaration, a feral growl was heard before a streak of white and silver ran through the circle towards the wolf prince. Before them stood a very angry Sesshomaru, his hands wrapped around Koga’s throat. ÒMINE!Ó growled the demon lord, his eyes burning crimson as his beast clamored to come out and kill the rival vying for his female.
Chaos broke within the packs as the two Lords of opposing ends of Japan fought. Sesshomaru with Bakusaiga and Koga with his Goraishi, their weapons of choice as the two demons slashed and dodged as they fought.
Kagome vacillated from being worried and being angry. Angry that Koga had not listened to her when she said she was not his woman. Angry that Sesshomaru took it upon himself to fight the wolf prince but worried about both of the demons and their ability to destroy one another. Sango and Miroku held the girl from trying to interfere with the fight, much to Kagome’s frustration.
ÒLet me go! I need to get them to stop!Ó Kagome cried as she attempted to get released from her two friends. Inuyasha stood in front of her, his arms tucked in his fire rat sleeves and a steely look at her. ÒYou will cease your struggles and allow the males to fight for mating rights. You will not interfere in their fight,Ó Inuyasha said with firmness in his tone.
Kagome was baffled at Inuyasha’s reaction and his tone. Before she could say anything and make the situation worse, Miroku intervened. ÒKagome. You are like a sister to me and Sango and I believe to Inuyasha as well,Ó he looked to the hanyou who nodded his agreement. ÒYou are not from here nor are you aware of the actions and culture of the higher level of demons. We have tried to educate you as much as we could but it appears that we left out the most important part. Those would be the signs of a courting male.Ó Miroku took a moment to gather his thoughts and Sango took over.
ÒAs you know, Koga has persisted with his vows of love and loyalty and calling you his woman. His declaration of intent is the first part of courting,Ó she explained.
ÒThen it is the gifting of clothing with his mark. Followed by an announcement to the pack and then the mating,Ó Miroku finished.
ÒOH MY GOD! You mean to tell me he has been courting me and my actions have responded as if I agreed to be his mate and I didn’t know it? Why didn’t you tell me?Ó screamed the terrified girl. ÒGods, now what? I can’t mate him? I don’t even think of him like that,Ó she started to ramble hysterically.
ÒKAGOME!Ó Inuyasha yelled, grabbing the girl by the arms and gently shaking her. ÒCalm down, we’ll work this outÉ..some how,Ó Inuyasha gently told her.
What her friends didn’t tell her is that no matter what, by the end of the night she would be a mated woman. Either to Koga or to Sesshomaru.
As the fight continued, it was obvious who would be the victor. Sesshomaru was tired of being kept from the female he had chosen and it was time to stop playing with the wolf.
Managing to get a grip around the metal claw to keep it from doing damage and another on Koga’s neck, Sesshomaru floored the wolf so that he was prone on the ground. Sesshomaru straddled the male keeping him pinned. Using his speed he pulled the hand that held the Goraishi so that it sat at Koga’s throat. If the wolf moved, he died.
ÒDo you submit, Lord Koga?Ó the voice of the beast within Sesshomaru spoke. Koga didn’t want to give in to the male who wanted to take his Kagome from him, but he knew that he couldn’t continue to lead his pack if he died.
ÒI submit and release the Miko Kagome,Ó spoke Koga in a loud enough voice for all to hear. Sesshomaru released the wolf Lord from his grip and both demons stood. Koga turned to the surrounding audience and yelled, ÒSesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands, has won the rights to mate the Miko Kagome. Let us celebrate the destruction of Naraku and the mating of the Western Lord!Ó Loud cheers rang throughout the crowd as the party began again.
ÒWait, WHAT?Ó yelled Kagome still being detained by the monk and slayer. Sesshomaru approached the female as she screamed out her question.
ÒCalm down little one,Ó he crooned at her as his right hand gently ran along her jawline causing Kagome to melt at his voice and touch. It was a little known fact that an inu’s touch could calm its mate on command.
‘What happenedÉwhat did he do to me?’ Kagome thought to herself, a little dumbfounded that she would respond to Sesshomaru that way. It was weird how she suddenly felt so calm and relaxed.
Koga turned to the Western Lord. ÒIf I so much as find out she’s unhappy in her mating you I will come after her,Ó Koga promised. He looked to Kagome, ÒIf you need anything, and I mean anything, you find a way to contact me. Koga turned without a final look and joined the festivities.
ÒThis one will be taking her to the land of my father. The mating must be consummated there.Ó With that, Miroku and Sango let the girl go into his capable arms. Before anyone could say goodbye, Sesshomaru gathered his prize and began his trek to the Western Lands.
The female in his arms had fallen asleep not long after Sesshomaru began to run. He could have ridden his youki cloud or traveled in light speed, but running actually took little energy, whereas the other modes of travel would wear him out. He needed to ensure he had enough energy for the mating.
Once Sesshomaru crossed the border to his lands the clouds began to move in. Looking up at the clouds, the demon lord allowed a small smile to grace his face. He would finally be mated and the land would once again be fruitful and multiply.
Sounded like a good idea to the inu in him.
As Sesshomaru approached the area he was aiming for he flared his youki alerting all in the area to leave at once. Anyone to interrupt the mating of the lord to his lady would die a long and agonizing death.
The demon traveled to what had been a beautiful thriving oasis within his lands surrounded by mountains for protection and a large lake in the center. Within the oasis was a cliff with a hidden cave. The cave was what he was aiming for.
The cave had been carved and shaped on the inside and fitted with all the amenities needed to feed and care for those within it. It was the den of the Lords of the West past, present and hopefully future. There was where he was conceived and born.
He was looking forward to Kagome conceiving his heir there.
Running through the unseen paths that led through the mountains and down the hill to the oasis, Sesshomaru used his great strength and a little youki to take a long hard jump to cliff wall and to the front of his den.
Taking a quick look at his sleeping burden, Sesshomaru made his way through the passage to the den using his youki to light the torches within scanning for uninvited guests. The entryway was very well hidden from even the keenest eyes and there was a very slim chance that anyone or anything would have found their way into the cave, but he would take no chances.
Content that the cave was unoccupied Sesshomaru continued walking through the long passage deep into the heart of the cavern to his destination. At the end of the path was the main cave. In the center of the room of the first cave was a round fire pit made from rock and mortar to hold it together. An opening had been carved through the rock of the ceiling to allow smoke to escape. Within the pit were the remains of a fire from a time long ago.
Surrounding the pit, at a safe distance, were many pillows of silk in various patterns, sizes and shapes all for the comfort of the couple staying within with a low table sitting between two larger pillows to act as a place for meals. To the left wall lining the shelves were baskets that contained produce and herbs, while there were pots on the ground that held fresh water. Furs and rugs had lined strategic parts of the floor. It appeared Jaken had made the preparations the great Lord had ordered of him prior to joining Inuyasha’s group. Sesshomaru was a tactician and nothing was done without thorough advanced planning.
To the far end on the right of the room was the entrance to the chamber he was planning on spending much time in. Much smaller in size, the room was dwarfed by a large pallet of furs for sleeping while a chest sat at the end of it, storing extra furs for the cold nights. A large tansu sat in the corner, housing kimono for the Lord and Lady staying there.
Sesshomaru laid the sleeping miko on the furs covering her from the coolness of the cave until he could start the fire. Leaving the miko to sleep Sesshomaru went into the main cavern to make a fire using the wood that had been stacked off into a corner.
After completing the task, the demon decided it would be a good opportunity to feed and to hunt fresh meat for the little priestess. She hadn’t been able to eat while they had been at Koga’s gathering, no thanks to the ensuing battle. Leaving the cave Sesshomaru went on the hunt.
‘Where am I?’ the girl from the future wondered. She slowly rose from the bed she noticed that her shoes and socks had been removed. Unfortunately for her, she could not locate them in the dark.
Giving up after looking by touch for a few minutes she made her way to the light, stubbing her toe on the chest at the end of the bed on the way. When she made her way through the door her eyes opened wide at the sight of the room. Determining that she was within a cave of some sort she made her way around the main room, looking through the baskets and pots trying to identify the things kept there. Kagome was so caught up in her exploration that she neglected to notice the youki caressing her gently in greeting or the demon lord entering the room.
Sesshomaru didn’t like to be ignored. However he was patient in knowing it wasn’t on purpose and that the female was making herself at home in the space and getting familiar with where things were. Deciding she had disregarded him long enough, the demon placed his stripped and cleaned kill near the fire and stood there momentarily waiting for her to notice him.
When Kagome exhausted the portion of the cave she had dubbed the ÒkitchenÓ she turned towards the fire pit and screeched in surprise at the inu standing there with a fresh kill next to him. ÒSesshomaru!Ó she gasped at him holding her chest that felt like her heart was going to break through.
ÒHn, not being aware of your surroundings will get you killed, Kagome. Remember that,Ó Sesshomaru countered.
Blushing a little at being caught oblivious to her environment, she changed the subject while pointing at the dead animal, ÒIs that for dinner?Ó
Sesshomaru nodded in assent and proceeded to cut the animal into pieces for easier preparation and Kagome took one of the large pieces and took it to her kitchen area and looked for some spices to rub into the meat. She looked at the demon and asked, ÒDid you already eat?Ó But she already knew he had. Travelling together Kagome had picked up on his habits including when he ate and didn’t. Sesshomaru nodded.
While she prepared her meat, Sesshomaru finished separating the meat and then placed them into a hole in a corner in the ground that was naturally cold to keep the meat fresh.
By the time he completed his task, Kagome already skewered and placed the meat over the fire to cook. Sesshomaru went into the bedroom area and came out with her big yellow backpack. That thing had seen better days but to Kagome it was a sight for sore eyes. She quietly thanked him and scuttled off to the pile of pillows to dig into the bag looking to see what remained. Kagome sighed. She was out of clean underwear and was running low on soap.
She needed to go home and soon.
ÒWhat distresses you, Kagome?Ó asked the demon standing close by observing her.
ÒI need to go home and get supplies, Sesshomaru.Ó
He really didn’t want to allow that, especially since she wouldn’t be leaving this cave until properly mated and pupped.
ÒHn,Ó was his only response.
Kagome took his response as a ‘yes’ but just not right now.
Kagome pulled out her shampoo, soap and towel and looked at the demon, ÒUm, Sesshomaru? Is there a place to bathe nearby? I know I just did at Koga’s den, but really? I feel like I didn’t really get clean. And these furs smell!Ó
Sesshomaru had to agree and was pleased that she wanted to wash the smell of Ookami from her. He stood and motioned for Kagome to follow her as he walked towards the sleeping quarters. Kagome felt a flare of his youki and torches lit the way allowing her to see where she had once been sleeping. Kagome continued to follow the demon through the room to another opening that led deeper within the cavern to a large cave with two pools.
ÒThe one on the left is water that comes from the mountains from melting snow. It is used for drinking and can be heated for cleaning of utensils,Ó he explained. ÒThe one on the right is a hot spring for bathing.Ó
It was really rather unique the way the rocks were carved to allow the separation of the water. The cold water was continually fed from outside while the overflow escaped out of the opposite end through another small exit. It was too small for anyone or anything to try to get through.
Near the hot spring was a bench with wooden buckets for rinsing and a table with bathing oils within reach. Next to the table was a wooden chest in which Kagome would discover had yukata in her size.
She would not discover the reason there was only one size until much later.
Sesshomaru turned and left the bathing area allowing Kagome the privacy this one last time. He would be joining her the next time she bathed and he was looking forward to it.
By the time Kagome had bathed and dressed in one of the yukata minus under clothing (much to her embarrassment), her meat was already cooked and cut and on a wooden plate waiting for her to eat. Thanking Sesshomaru for the dinner she took the plate and chopsticks and began to eat enjoying the flavors of the meat.
Sesshomaru was almost beside himself. He could tell she was not wearing anything under the yukata, her natural scent unblocked by the normal under clothing she wore. Her scent was intoxicating to the inu and it was all he could do to keep the beast within him from mating her right then and there. His logical side knew she needed to eat to build up her strength for the night to come.
By the time Kagome had finished eating and washing her plate and chopsticks and put them away, Sesshomaru was almost feral.
Kagome turned after putting everything away to see a red-eyed Sesshomaru at the far side of the main chamber. A little fearful she stayed put and asked timidly ÒSesshomaru? Are you okay?Ó
In a flash he was in front of her and his arms wrapped around her in possession. Blood red eyes stared down at her, his stripes jagged along his cheeks and his youki flaring in heated pulses. Kagome began to struggle and Sesshomaru touched her face once again causing her to melt into his touch.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes to try to control himself, opening them once again. Kagome once again looked at his eyes seeing the gold once again but rimmed in red. While she felt fear she could not help but feel slightly aroused by the male holding her so close to him. He was hard muscle under the silk he wore minus the armor that he must have removed while she bathed. She could feel the ripple of those muscles with every flex he made.
The male held Kagome close and began a deep rumble to calm the nervous female in his arms. While his touch would calm her, it tended to calm her to a point of sleep.
He didn’t want her sleeping for a long while.
Picking up the female in his arms he took them to the pile of pillows on the floor by the fire. He sat and placed her on his lap holding her and stroking her back and sides as he crooned constantly. As he felt her fear dissipate he decided it was time to address his intent.
ÒKagome,Ó he began, his voice laced with the huskiness of his want. ÒI am aware that you were forced into this situation through the Ookami Prince’s stupidity. I had intended to court you properly and allow you the time to get used to my presence but with the formal challenge and announcement, the mating must be completed immediately.Ó
A little shocked but not completely surprised Kagome had to ask. ÒWhy does the mating have to be now? Can’t we get to know each other first?Ó
Trying to control the beast within him that was pacing and arguing with his logical side to take the female and now, Sesshomaru answered her truthfully. ÒKagome, I would want nothing more than to give you the time you need.Ó
ÒBut?Ó she countered.
ÒI cannot control my inner beast. We chose you some time ago and since the formalities have been completed he wants you. Now.Ó He grit out.
Knowing the demon Lord like she did it had to be difficult for him to admit that he couldn’t control his beast. But now she had to make a life altering decision and so she proceeded to make an internal list of pros and cons.
The cons were first since she knew she most likely would have to give up the future and her family five hundred years from now. That brought up an interesting albeit obvious question.
ÒSesshomaru? Why me?Ó she asked. ÒFirst, I’m human and not your favorite species. Two, I’ll die way before you. Three, if we have children they will be hanyou. Four, why me?Ó
He chuckled. In her nervousness she repeated herself. It was a quirk he was well aware of. He needed to assuage her fears. ÒYou may be human but this one has noticed you different you are from all of the humans encountered before,Ó he explained. ÒYou are loyal to a fault, you defend those you care about with a passion that I have never seen in any female, youkai even, and your scent calls to this one like no other.Ó He then nuzzled her neck and took in a deep breath grateful that she had put her hair up giving him complete access. He continued his explanation as he alternated with licks and light nips against her neck.
ÒAs for our pups while they will be hanyou they will be powerful. We will have pups that will out match our power combined and that is all I could hope for.Ó As he continued his assault on her neck and the stroking with his hands, he could scent her growing arousal.
ÒOnce we mate and I mark you we will share my life span. You will live as long as I do and you will share my healing abilities as well,Ó he told her. ÒAs long as we live through the centuries you should be able to see your family in the future,Ó he finished knowing that would be the one thing she would miss the most.
Kagome couldn’t resist the feelings that the inu was evoking in her. The rumble along her side, the stroking of her back and other side and the nipping and sucking and licking! She couldn’t help the moan that escaped her. ÒKami!Ó she moaned out as she felt a flood of wetness between her legs.
Sesshomaru knew he had her where he wanted her, but he needed her consent for the mating to be complete. If he didn’t have her consent and she was forced, the lands would suffer.
He wouldn’t be selfish. He would think of her first. His lands and people deserved it.
Taking in the scent of her recent orgasm the inu took her chin in his thumb and forefinger so he could look in her eyes and asked. ÒKagome, be my mate for all eternity?Ó
Kagome stared into the bleeding eyes of the inu. She could see the question in his eyes along with fear. Fear of being rejected? Not him! But she understood him and maybe shoe could come to love him. She had begun to get to know him in the months they traveled together and she knew she was attracted to him.
Coming to a decision Kagome kissed the demon Lord gently on his lips. Pulling away slowly she looked at him and said, ÒYes Sesshomaru. I’ll be your mate.Ó
Before she knew it the inu had swept her up in his arms and in the sleeping chamber. The demon lowered her to the furs on the pallet and then he was stripped and on top of her, one of his thighs between hers grinding against her gently through her yukata. His lips attacked hers tenderly at first increasing in pressure and intensity as his arousal and hers increased. A particularly strong thrust against her lower half made Kagome groan opening her mouth to the inu who took advantage. His tongue invaded her warm mouth probing it in time with the rubbing of his thigh enjoying how the female beneath him moaned and responded to him.
She was overwhelmed by the onslaught of feelings she was being bombarded with. The friction being created between her legs from the inu’s constant rubbing against her brought her feelings of pleasure she never knew existed coupled with the intensity of his kiss. The pressure continued to build until she broke. ÒAaahhh,Ó she moaned in pleasure breaking from the kiss, her body shuddering in pleasure-filled bliss.
Sesshomaru watched her face as her passion flowed through her body and a sense of pride filled him like never before having given her such pleasure and ceased his torture with his thigh. As Kagome came down from her orgasm she looked at the Inu above her watching her with a light smile. Before she could say anything he began kissing her again, gently nipping her lower lip and gently suckling her tongue, pleased when she countered with her own tongue. As he distracted her with his mouth he slowly undid her yukata revealing her body.
Skin on skin. Heat on heat.
Kagome felt the difference immediately. The feel of the demon Lord’s skin on hers was almost unbearably intense. Never did she think that something so simple would be so erotic and it brought more intense feelings to her. She could feel his already hardened length through her sleeping yukata, but it was nothing compared to how it felt now.
While Kagome was enjoying the feelings washing through her, Sesshomaru was kissing every square inch of the female enjoying her responses in the form of moans and mewls. He made his way to the beautiful caramel-tipped breasts licking and suckling one while rubbing and pinching the other. When he finished giving one the attention with his mouth, he switched to the other breast giving it equal attention. Kagome’s hands found their way to the demon’s head holding him in position as he continued his assault, not wanting him to stop.
Kagome was lost in the feelings the inu was invoking in her. Even though she was trying to analyze what was happening to her she gave in and let herself enjoy the pleasure.
The Inu finished his attack of her chest and made open-mouthed kisses down her stomach passing her belly button down to her abdomen, enjoying how it shuddered as he kissed her there. Sesshomaru made his way to her sacred area enjoying the sweet musky scent of her arousal.
Before Kagome could stop him, the demon had her thighs apart and his fingers separating her nether lips and his tongue licking her. ÒGods she tastes so good,Ó the Inu thought as he continued to lick and then suckle on her pearl.
Kagome couldn’t control her reactions to the feelings he brought forth from her body. The licking had been one thing but when the Inu began suckling on the little bundle of nerves she couldn’t stop from bucking her hips in response.
Sesshomaru held her hips down with one arm as he continued to suck her bud. As she continued to shudder in response closing in on another orgasm he took his free hand and inserted his index finger in her extremely tight channel, setting her off in an explosive convulsion.
Her passionate screams from her orgasm rang through the cave and Sesshomaru enjoyed her impassioned response to his ministrations, his member throbbing in want of release. As Kagome began to come down from her high, Sesshomaru used her wet channel to his advantage and slipped a second finger in and gently pumped in and out, causing her to moan. As she loosened up around his two fingers a third was added as he continued his gentle thrusts with his hand and watching her as he put pressure on her overly sensitized clit.
Sesshomaru felt the telltale signs of her oncoming orgasm by the tightening of her muscles around his hand and he sucked hard on her pearl bringing her over the edge.
Kagome saw white her climax was so intense. Her body shuddered and stiffened in response. The Inu continued thrusting his fingers as he sat up on his knees and watched her face in her bliss.
As she came down, he removed his fingers and caught her eye making sure she watch him as he licked and sucked each finger clean of her juices. Kagome panted from the intensity of her orgasm, her body singing. Watching the Inu clean his fingers was terribly erotic.
She watched as he finished licking his fingers and then he leaned on his elbow over her body placing his hips between hers and looking straight into her eyes. His other hand grasped his hardened member rubbing it against her wetness in preparation.
ÒAre you ready Kagome?Ó he asked her with a passion-filled voice. Not trusting her voice, Kagome nodded her assent.
The Inu lined his rock hard cock up to her entrance and then placed his other arm to the other side of her, keeping the majority of his weight from crushing her. Slowly his member entered her body, stretching her muscles to epic proportions. Kagome tried to relax knowing that tensing up would make things more painful. She panted at the intense feelings of the pulling of muscles inside her.
When Sesshomaru felt the barrier that signified her innocence he looked to her in question and at her nod, he pulled his hips back and thrust through. Kagome yelped in pain from the tearing of her hymen tensing from the intensity of the discomfort. Sesshomaru began to kiss her gently, a rumbling in his chest vibrating through her in attempt to calm and distract the female from the pain.
When the Inu felt the muscles around his length begin to loosen and Kagome move slightly he knew it was time. Slowly he pulled out to the tip and gently re-entered her sheath. Both of them moaned at the sensations caused by the friction. Repeating the move over and over he continued to thrust and pull enjoying the feelings invoked in him and the moans from her.
Once Kagome got past the initial pain there was a slight burn. As the Inu slowly continued his pace the burn was replaced by incredible sensations. She moaned as he increased his pace hitting a spot within her that cause intense pleasure.
As the intensity built within Kagome, Sesshomaru could feel the first orgasm build as her muscles began to throb and before he knew it, clamp down on his cock. He held still as he rode out her climax trying to keep himself from prematurely releasing within her. When she finally calmed, he pulled out and flipped her to her knees, ass up and torso down on the furs. Thrusting back inside her hot, tight sheath they both moaned.
Sesshomaru placed his hands at her hips and began thrusting once again enjoying the responsiveness of his female.
Kagome felt him reach deeper within her in this new position causing more intense feelings and responses within her. She moaned at the sensations building within her once again.
As the beast took its place with its logical side for the final bonding his hips began grinding with each forceful push causing him to feel the cervix of his female. The Inu grasped the base of Kagome’s ponytail pulling her up her upper body as his lowered as he dominated her. As the male continued his brutal pounding within her body, he growled into her ear, ÒWhom do you belong to?Ó
Kagome, lost to the sensations of pure pleasure and the nearness of her next climax couldn’t respond. ÒBitch, who do you belong to?!Ó he yelled in a deep growl close to his own end his fangs lengthening. ÒYou Sesshomaru! You!Ó she screamed as she fell into bliss, followed by a roar of the demon dominating her and then a sharp pain as his fangs pierced her left shoulder. She climaxed once again from the marking, her body milking his erection of the seed pumping into her and his knot forming.
Sesshomaru whined in response to his climax so intense it was painful, his mouth still attached to Kagome’s shoulder. His fangs shrank allowing the Inu to lick the mark, healing it. Knowing it would be a while before his knot went down, he held Kagome as he laid them both on their sides, both of them panting from their activities.
ÒSleep Kagome. It will be a while before my body will release you,Ó he softly told her. Kagome nodded and made an inaudible grunt that sounded like an agreement and she dozed off.
Sesshomaru felt at peace for once in his long life. He knew that the road ahead of them would be difficult with him mating a human miko, but the land would prosper once again. With the blooming affection between he and his mate he didn’t doubt it.

The forest of Feudal Japan was quiet in the early evening of summer. Flashes of lightening could be seen on the horizon, followed by loud booms of thunder. All of the forest inhabitants had already found shelter from the oncoming storm.
A lone Inu Youkai was all that was seen running through the forest in a flash of white. He had to find the shelter of his den before the rain came down. While as a youkai he could not get ill from being doused in the summer rain, the bundle he carried could. The inu continued his run through the lush forest of the Feudal Era.
He recalled what had happened earlier that day, how he had battled the wolf prince for the mating rights to the female he held in his arms. Sesshomaru had to laugh but kept it inside, a slight smirk playing across his face.
The battle against Naraku had been fought and won. After gathering his part of the jewel of four souls and the shard in Kohaku, the shard hunters had to gather Koga’s shards in order for Kagome to complete the jewel. After replenishing the groups supplies in the village of Edo then began the trek to the Eastern Lands and to the caves that Koga’s tribe lived in.
Figuring that there would be trouble with the wolf prince, Sesshomaru joined the group only if the kit and Rin were to stay with Kaede in the village. Agreeing with the terms, much to Inuyasha’s dismay, Kagome said her goodbyes to the children and led the way to the East.
The inu Lord continued to keep to himself walking at the rear of the group. He had chosen that position for strategic reasons; he could watch as Kagome walked. Her tight behind swaying in that indecently short green skirt she wore. While he felt she should dress more appropriately, the male in him enjoyed the show.
Kagome was completely unaware of the demon watching her from behind as she and Inuyasha bickered between themselves about taking a break. Inuyasha continued to complain about humans and their need to rest and eat, to which Kagome sat him into the ground. ÒWell excuse us for being human!Ó yelled the incensed female. ÒEven with Naraku being dead and the jewel almost being completed, do you have to be such an insensitive jerk? It’s not like we have to be anywhere right this minute!Ó she continued to yell.
While Kagome continued to berate the hanyou, the rest of the group sat in the shade enjoying the chance to rest and cool down. It was the middle of summer and they had yet to see relief in the form of rain. There had been a drought in the Western Lands, causing crops to whither and people to starve, causing unrest for the Lord of those Lands. It was unusual for such a thing to happen but not unheard of in any of the other lands.
Sesshomaru sat on the opposite side of the humans and the hanyou, choosing a tree to sit and lean his back against. One leg stretched out while one was bent at the knee allowing the demon to rest an arm. Staring off into the sky, Sesshomaru thought about the issues plaguing the land of his birth. He knew what had to happen in order to end the drought and what he had to do. He just didn’t want to rush things.
The propensity for domination and supreme conquest controlled many demons and made the Kami stop and think. They had to think of a way to keep the lording demons under some kind of control, so they came up with a curse. The curse was to protect the land and the people of that land from their demon rulers who would use them for personal gain.
Four families controlled the lands of Japan. Those families were tied to the land that they ruled thanks to the curse placed on them by the Kami. If the Lord or Lady were unhappy in their union, the land would whither and die and nothing would grow. If the union was happy and fruitful, the land would be fertile and flourish. When the heir from a union became Lord of the land, he had 100 years to find a mate before the land would begin to lose its fertility.
Sesshomaru had been the Lord of the Western Lands since his father’s passing over one hundred and four years ago, and his land was dying.
But he had a plan and her name was Higurashi Kagome.
Yes, the human-hating demon lord was going to make Kagome his mate. No, she didn’t know it yet. He was waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Little did he know it was in the form of the wolf prince Koga.
Once the tachi had stepped foot in the Eastern territories they were greeted by a dust storm in the form of the wolf prince himself, shortly followed by his betas Ginta and Hakkaku.
ÒKagome! How is my woman?Ó Koga began as he swept her into his arms and spun around before putting her back down on her own two feet.
A little dizzy from the unplanned spinning, hands on her hips Kagome replied with a hard glare, ÒFor the hundredth time, I’m not your woman!Ó
Miroku, trying to diffuse the situation approached the prince and explained the reason for showing up. ÒPrince Koga, if I may? We have defeated Naraku and Kagome needs to complete the Shikon no Tama. May she have your shards?Ó
Completely changing the subject, Koga exclaimed, ÒCome! We must celebrate Naraku’s defeat with my pack. Follow me!Ó he ordered and took off towards his home and pack leaving Ginta and Hakkaku to lead the inu tachi to their destination.
Koga must have alerted the tribe of the destruction of the evil spider hanyou because what the group saw could not have been a normal day for the wolf pack. In the early evening hours when they had arrived, the group found the wolf pack had hunted and prepared a huge feast for the celebration. There was a bonfire in the center of a circle with many of Koga’s pack mates sitting and conversing.
As the group approached the circle of Koga’s wolf pack, many of the youkai rushed to speak to the members who had defeated Naraku, those males who approached Kagome were growled at by the inu of the pack. After the greetings and thanks had begun to die down, two females of Koga’s pack took Kagome off to one of the caves. They didn’t get very far as Sesshomaru stepped in front of the and with a growl asked ÒWhere are you taking the priestess?Ó
One of the females replied, ÒPrince Koga asked that we bathe and dress her for the festivities. Nothing more.Ó
Sesshomaru glared at the three females smelling no deceit, then stepped aside and said, ÒYou may proceed.Ó
Kagome was a little perturbed by the demon Lord interrupting and therefore postponing her bath, but decided to let it go. She was going to get a bath and a change of clothing and nothing was going to get in her way!
The two females, Aiko and Aoi, were sisters and very loyal to their prince. What Kagome did not know is that they were to prepare Kagome for her mating to Koga. The sisters were honored that he would trust them to prepare the one who would be the Alpha female of the pack. The wolf prince had not given up on her and figured that by announcing the betrothal in front of his pack and her friends that she would go along with it.
Aiko and Aoi took Kagome to Koga’s cave where it housed its own hot spring. There they undressed and bathed Kagome in scented oils of roses and vanilla, a combination that was an aphrodisiac to canines. Once bathed, Aiko brought an outfit of fur, similar to what Koga wore. It would be a blatant show of ownership, but Kagome was not aware. While Aiko went to gather the clothing, Aoi helped Kagome dry off. Then the females helped to dress her in the furs, showing Kagome how to work the ties and how everything fit. Lastly, they put Kagome’s hair up in a high ponytail, her hair flowing down to the middle of her back and resembling more like their prince.
Aoi went outside to let Koga know that Kagome was ready, to which he nodded and stood up. As he prepared to speak to the assemblage, Aiko and Kagome walked towards the group to join her friends, noticing that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were not present. Koga began to speak, ÒMy loyal pack mates. It is time for me to take a mate. I have chosen the strongest female I have ever come across, and she is a sister of this pack.Ó
Kagome completely missing the announcement sat next to Sango, who took in Kagome’s appearance. Knowing the signs, Sango tried to explain to her friend her situation, but was interrupted by Koga. ÒKagome, will you please come here?Ó he addressed the girl. Sango looked at Koga and then to Kagome and tried to stop her, ÒKagome, you don’t understand. Don’t go up there.Ó
Kagome, being completely naive of the situation, waived Sango off and stood up to approach her friend Koga. ÒKagome, you have accepted my attentions and gifts. It’s time we became mates.Ó
Before Kagome could respond to Koga’s declaration, a feral growl was heard before a streak of white and silver ran through the circle towards the wolf prince. Before them stood a very angry Sesshomaru, his hands wrapped around Koga’s throat. ÒMINE!Ó growled the demon lord, his eyes burning crimson as his beast clamored to come out and kill the rival vying for his female.
Chaos broke within the packs as the two Lords of opposing ends of Japan fought. Sesshomaru with Bakusaiga and Koga with his Goraishi, their weapons of choice as the two demons slashed and dodged as they fought.
Kagome vacillated from being worried and being angry. Angry that Koga had not listened to her when she said she was not his woman. Angry that Sesshomaru took it upon himself to fight the wolf prince but worried about both of the demons and their ability to destroy one another. Sango and Miroku held the girl from trying to interfere with the fight, much to Kagome’s frustration.
ÒLet me go! I need to get them to stop!Ó Kagome cried as she attempted to get released from her two friends. Inuyasha stood in front of her, his arms tucked in his fire rat sleeves and a steely look at her. ÒYou will cease your struggles and allow the males to fight for mating rights. You will not interfere in their fight,Ó Inuyasha said with firmness in his tone.
Kagome was baffled at Inuyasha’s reaction and his tone. Before she could say anything and make the situation worse, Miroku intervened. ÒKagome. You are like a sister to me and Sango and I believe to Inuyasha as well,Ó he looked to the hanyou who nodded his agreement. ÒYou are not from here nor are you aware of the actions and culture of the higher level of demons. We have tried to educate you as much as we could but it appears that we left out the most important part. Those would be the signs of a courting male.Ó Miroku took a moment to gather his thoughts and Sango took over.
ÒAs you know, Koga has persisted with his vows of love and loyalty and calling you his woman. His declaration of intent is the first part of courting,Ó she explained.
ÒThen it is the gifting of clothing with his mark. Followed by an announcement to the pack and then the mating,Ó Miroku finished.
ÒOH MY GOD! You mean to tell me he has been courting me and my actions have responded as if I agreed to be his mate and I didn’t know it? Why didn’t you tell me?Ó screamed the terrified girl. ÒGods, now what? I can’t mate him? I don’t even think of him like that,Ó she started to ramble hysterically.
ÒKAGOME!Ó Inuyasha yelled, grabbing the girl by the arms and gently shaking her. ÒCalm down, we’ll work this outÉ..some how,Ó Inuyasha gently told her.
What her friends didn’t tell her is that no matter what, by the end of the night she would be a mated woman. Either to Koga or to Sesshomaru.
As the fight continued, it was obvious who would be the victor. Sesshomaru was tired of being kept from the female he had chosen and it was time to stop playing with the wolf.
Managing to get a grip around the metal claw to keep it from doing damage and another on Koga’s neck, Sesshomaru floored the wolf so that he was prone on the ground. Sesshomaru straddled the male keeping him pinned. Using his speed he pulled the hand that held the Goraishi so that it sat at Koga’s throat. If the wolf moved, he died.
ÒDo you submit, Lord Koga?Ó the voice of the beast within Sesshomaru spoke. Koga didn’t want to give in to the male who wanted to take his Kagome from him, but he knew that he couldn’t continue to lead his pack if he died.
ÒI submit and release the Miko Kagome,Ó spoke Koga in a loud enough voice for all to hear. Sesshomaru released the wolf Lord from his grip and both demons stood. Koga turned to the surrounding audience and yelled, ÒSesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands, has won the rights to mate the Miko Kagome. Let us celebrate the destruction of Naraku and the mating of the Western Lord!Ó Loud cheers rang throughout the crowd as the party began again.
ÒWait, WHAT?Ó yelled Kagome still being detained by the monk and slayer. Sesshomaru approached the female as she screamed out her question.
ÒCalm down little one,Ó he crooned at her as his right hand gently ran along her jawline causing Kagome to melt at his voice and touch. It was a little known fact that an inu’s touch could calm its mate on command.
‘What happenedÉwhat did he do to me?’ Kagome thought to herself, a little dumbfounded that she would respond to Sesshomaru that way. It was weird how she suddenly felt so calm and relaxed.
Koga turned to the Western Lord. ÒIf I so much as find out she’s unhappy in her mating you I will come after her,Ó Koga promised. He looked to Kagome, ÒIf you need anything, and I mean anything, you find a way to contact me. Koga turned without a final look and joined the festivities.
ÒThis one will be taking her to the land of my father. The mating must be consummated there.Ó With that, Miroku and Sango let the girl go into his capable arms. Before anyone could say goodbye, Sesshomaru gathered his prize and began his trek to the Western Lands.
The female in his arms had fallen asleep not long after Sesshomaru began to run. He could have ridden his youki cloud or traveled in light speed, but running actually took little energy, whereas the other modes of travel would wear him out. He needed to ensure he had enough energy for the mating.
Once Sesshomaru crossed the border to his lands the clouds began to move in. Looking up at the clouds, the demon lord allowed a small smile to grace his face. He would finally be mated and the land would once again be fruitful and multiply.
Sounded like a good idea to the inu in him.
As Sesshomaru approached the area he was aiming for he flared his youki alerting all in the area to leave at once. Anyone to interrupt the mating of the lord to his lady would die a long and agonizing death.
The demon traveled to what had been a beautiful thriving oasis within his lands surrounded by mountains for protection and a large lake in the center. Within the oasis was a cliff with a hidden cave. The cave was what he was aiming for.
The cave had been carved and shaped on the inside and fitted with all the amenities needed to feed and care for those within it. It was the den of the Lords of the West past, present and hopefully future. There was where he was conceived and born.
He was looking forward to Kagome conceiving his heir there.
Running through the unseen paths that led through the mountains and down the hill to the oasis, Sesshomaru used his great strength and a little youki to take a long hard jump to cliff wall and to the front of his den.
Taking a quick look at his sleeping burden, Sesshomaru made his way through the passage to the den using his youki to light the torches within scanning for uninvited guests. The entryway was very well hidden from even the keenest eyes and there was a very slim chance that anyone or anything would have found their way into the cave, but he would take no chances.
Content that the cave was unoccupied Sesshomaru continued walking through the long passage deep into the heart of the cavern to his destination. At the end of the path was the main cave. In the center of the room of the first cave was a round fire pit made from rock and mortar to hold it together. An opening had been carved through the rock of the ceiling to allow smoke to escape. Within the pit were the remains of a fire from a time long ago.
Surrounding the pit, at a safe distance, were many pillows of silk in various patterns, sizes and shapes all for the comfort of the couple staying within with a low table sitting between two larger pillows to act as a place for meals. To the left wall lining the shelves were baskets that contained produce and herbs, while there were pots on the ground that held fresh water. Furs and rugs had lined strategic parts of the floor. It appeared Jaken had made the preparations the great Lord had ordered of him prior to joining Inuyasha’s group. Sesshomaru was a tactician and nothing was done without thorough advanced planning.
To the far end on the right of the room was the entrance to the chamber he was planning on spending much time in. Much smaller in size, the room was dwarfed by a large pallet of furs for sleeping while a chest sat at the end of it, storing extra furs for the cold nights. A large tansu sat in the corner, housing kimono for the Lord and Lady staying there.
Sesshomaru laid the sleeping miko on the furs covering her from the coolness of the cave until he could start the fire. Leaving the miko to sleep Sesshomaru went into the main cavern to make a fire using the wood that had been stacked off into a corner.
After completing the task, the demon decided it would be a good opportunity to feed and to hunt fresh meat for the little priestess. She hadn’t been able to eat while they had been at Koga’s gathering, no thanks to the ensuing battle. Leaving the cave Sesshomaru went on the hunt.
&&&&&&
Kagome awoke warm and strangely comfortable. As she slowly opened her eyes she saw darkness and the glow of light through what looked like an opening.‘Where am I?’ the girl from the future wondered. She slowly rose from the bed she noticed that her shoes and socks had been removed. Unfortunately for her, she could not locate them in the dark.
Giving up after looking by touch for a few minutes she made her way to the light, stubbing her toe on the chest at the end of the bed on the way. When she made her way through the door her eyes opened wide at the sight of the room. Determining that she was within a cave of some sort she made her way around the main room, looking through the baskets and pots trying to identify the things kept there. Kagome was so caught up in her exploration that she neglected to notice the youki caressing her gently in greeting or the demon lord entering the room.
Sesshomaru didn’t like to be ignored. However he was patient in knowing it wasn’t on purpose and that the female was making herself at home in the space and getting familiar with where things were. Deciding she had disregarded him long enough, the demon placed his stripped and cleaned kill near the fire and stood there momentarily waiting for her to notice him.
When Kagome exhausted the portion of the cave she had dubbed the ÒkitchenÓ she turned towards the fire pit and screeched in surprise at the inu standing there with a fresh kill next to him. ÒSesshomaru!Ó she gasped at him holding her chest that felt like her heart was going to break through.
ÒHn, not being aware of your surroundings will get you killed, Kagome. Remember that,Ó Sesshomaru countered.
Blushing a little at being caught oblivious to her environment, she changed the subject while pointing at the dead animal, ÒIs that for dinner?Ó
Sesshomaru nodded in assent and proceeded to cut the animal into pieces for easier preparation and Kagome took one of the large pieces and took it to her kitchen area and looked for some spices to rub into the meat. She looked at the demon and asked, ÒDid you already eat?Ó But she already knew he had. Travelling together Kagome had picked up on his habits including when he ate and didn’t. Sesshomaru nodded.
While she prepared her meat, Sesshomaru finished separating the meat and then placed them into a hole in a corner in the ground that was naturally cold to keep the meat fresh.
By the time he completed his task, Kagome already skewered and placed the meat over the fire to cook. Sesshomaru went into the bedroom area and came out with her big yellow backpack. That thing had seen better days but to Kagome it was a sight for sore eyes. She quietly thanked him and scuttled off to the pile of pillows to dig into the bag looking to see what remained. Kagome sighed. She was out of clean underwear and was running low on soap.
She needed to go home and soon.
ÒWhat distresses you, Kagome?Ó asked the demon standing close by observing her.
ÒI need to go home and get supplies, Sesshomaru.Ó
He really didn’t want to allow that, especially since she wouldn’t be leaving this cave until properly mated and pupped.
ÒHn,Ó was his only response.
Kagome took his response as a ‘yes’ but just not right now.
Kagome pulled out her shampoo, soap and towel and looked at the demon, ÒUm, Sesshomaru? Is there a place to bathe nearby? I know I just did at Koga’s den, but really? I feel like I didn’t really get clean. And these furs smell!Ó
Sesshomaru had to agree and was pleased that she wanted to wash the smell of Ookami from her. He stood and motioned for Kagome to follow her as he walked towards the sleeping quarters. Kagome felt a flare of his youki and torches lit the way allowing her to see where she had once been sleeping. Kagome continued to follow the demon through the room to another opening that led deeper within the cavern to a large cave with two pools.
ÒThe one on the left is water that comes from the mountains from melting snow. It is used for drinking and can be heated for cleaning of utensils,Ó he explained. ÒThe one on the right is a hot spring for bathing.Ó
It was really rather unique the way the rocks were carved to allow the separation of the water. The cold water was continually fed from outside while the overflow escaped out of the opposite end through another small exit. It was too small for anyone or anything to try to get through.
Near the hot spring was a bench with wooden buckets for rinsing and a table with bathing oils within reach. Next to the table was a wooden chest in which Kagome would discover had yukata in her size.
She would not discover the reason there was only one size until much later.
Sesshomaru turned and left the bathing area allowing Kagome the privacy this one last time. He would be joining her the next time she bathed and he was looking forward to it.
By the time Kagome had bathed and dressed in one of the yukata minus under clothing (much to her embarrassment), her meat was already cooked and cut and on a wooden plate waiting for her to eat. Thanking Sesshomaru for the dinner she took the plate and chopsticks and began to eat enjoying the flavors of the meat.
Sesshomaru was almost beside himself. He could tell she was not wearing anything under the yukata, her natural scent unblocked by the normal under clothing she wore. Her scent was intoxicating to the inu and it was all he could do to keep the beast within him from mating her right then and there. His logical side knew she needed to eat to build up her strength for the night to come.
By the time Kagome had finished eating and washing her plate and chopsticks and put them away, Sesshomaru was almost feral.
Kagome turned after putting everything away to see a red-eyed Sesshomaru at the far side of the main chamber. A little fearful she stayed put and asked timidly ÒSesshomaru? Are you okay?Ó
In a flash he was in front of her and his arms wrapped around her in possession. Blood red eyes stared down at her, his stripes jagged along his cheeks and his youki flaring in heated pulses. Kagome began to struggle and Sesshomaru touched her face once again causing her to melt into his touch.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes to try to control himself, opening them once again. Kagome once again looked at his eyes seeing the gold once again but rimmed in red. While she felt fear she could not help but feel slightly aroused by the male holding her so close to him. He was hard muscle under the silk he wore minus the armor that he must have removed while she bathed. She could feel the ripple of those muscles with every flex he made.
The male held Kagome close and began a deep rumble to calm the nervous female in his arms. While his touch would calm her, it tended to calm her to a point of sleep.
He didn’t want her sleeping for a long while.
Picking up the female in his arms he took them to the pile of pillows on the floor by the fire. He sat and placed her on his lap holding her and stroking her back and sides as he crooned constantly. As he felt her fear dissipate he decided it was time to address his intent.
ÒKagome,Ó he began, his voice laced with the huskiness of his want. ÒI am aware that you were forced into this situation through the Ookami Prince’s stupidity. I had intended to court you properly and allow you the time to get used to my presence but with the formal challenge and announcement, the mating must be completed immediately.Ó
A little shocked but not completely surprised Kagome had to ask. ÒWhy does the mating have to be now? Can’t we get to know each other first?Ó
Trying to control the beast within him that was pacing and arguing with his logical side to take the female and now, Sesshomaru answered her truthfully. ÒKagome, I would want nothing more than to give you the time you need.Ó
ÒBut?Ó she countered.
ÒI cannot control my inner beast. We chose you some time ago and since the formalities have been completed he wants you. Now.Ó He grit out.
Knowing the demon Lord like she did it had to be difficult for him to admit that he couldn’t control his beast. But now she had to make a life altering decision and so she proceeded to make an internal list of pros and cons.
The cons were first since she knew she most likely would have to give up the future and her family five hundred years from now. That brought up an interesting albeit obvious question.
ÒSesshomaru? Why me?Ó she asked. ÒFirst, I’m human and not your favorite species. Two, I’ll die way before you. Three, if we have children they will be hanyou. Four, why me?Ó
He chuckled. In her nervousness she repeated herself. It was a quirk he was well aware of. He needed to assuage her fears. ÒYou may be human but this one has noticed you different you are from all of the humans encountered before,Ó he explained. ÒYou are loyal to a fault, you defend those you care about with a passion that I have never seen in any female, youkai even, and your scent calls to this one like no other.Ó He then nuzzled her neck and took in a deep breath grateful that she had put her hair up giving him complete access. He continued his explanation as he alternated with licks and light nips against her neck.
ÒAs for our pups while they will be hanyou they will be powerful. We will have pups that will out match our power combined and that is all I could hope for.Ó As he continued his assault on her neck and the stroking with his hands, he could scent her growing arousal.
ÒOnce we mate and I mark you we will share my life span. You will live as long as I do and you will share my healing abilities as well,Ó he told her. ÒAs long as we live through the centuries you should be able to see your family in the future,Ó he finished knowing that would be the one thing she would miss the most.
Kagome couldn’t resist the feelings that the inu was evoking in her. The rumble along her side, the stroking of her back and other side and the nipping and sucking and licking! She couldn’t help the moan that escaped her. ÒKami!Ó she moaned out as she felt a flood of wetness between her legs.
Sesshomaru knew he had her where he wanted her, but he needed her consent for the mating to be complete. If he didn’t have her consent and she was forced, the lands would suffer.
He wouldn’t be selfish. He would think of her first. His lands and people deserved it.
Taking in the scent of her recent orgasm the inu took her chin in his thumb and forefinger so he could look in her eyes and asked. ÒKagome, be my mate for all eternity?Ó
Kagome stared into the bleeding eyes of the inu. She could see the question in his eyes along with fear. Fear of being rejected? Not him! But she understood him and maybe shoe could come to love him. She had begun to get to know him in the months they traveled together and she knew she was attracted to him.
Coming to a decision Kagome kissed the demon Lord gently on his lips. Pulling away slowly she looked at him and said, ÒYes Sesshomaru. I’ll be your mate.Ó
Before she knew it the inu had swept her up in his arms and in the sleeping chamber. The demon lowered her to the furs on the pallet and then he was stripped and on top of her, one of his thighs between hers grinding against her gently through her yukata. His lips attacked hers tenderly at first increasing in pressure and intensity as his arousal and hers increased. A particularly strong thrust against her lower half made Kagome groan opening her mouth to the inu who took advantage. His tongue invaded her warm mouth probing it in time with the rubbing of his thigh enjoying how the female beneath him moaned and responded to him.
She was overwhelmed by the onslaught of feelings she was being bombarded with. The friction being created between her legs from the inu’s constant rubbing against her brought her feelings of pleasure she never knew existed coupled with the intensity of his kiss. The pressure continued to build until she broke. ÒAaahhh,Ó she moaned in pleasure breaking from the kiss, her body shuddering in pleasure-filled bliss.
Sesshomaru watched her face as her passion flowed through her body and a sense of pride filled him like never before having given her such pleasure and ceased his torture with his thigh. As Kagome came down from her orgasm she looked at the Inu above her watching her with a light smile. Before she could say anything he began kissing her again, gently nipping her lower lip and gently suckling her tongue, pleased when she countered with her own tongue. As he distracted her with his mouth he slowly undid her yukata revealing her body.
Skin on skin. Heat on heat.
Kagome felt the difference immediately. The feel of the demon Lord’s skin on hers was almost unbearably intense. Never did she think that something so simple would be so erotic and it brought more intense feelings to her. She could feel his already hardened length through her sleeping yukata, but it was nothing compared to how it felt now.
While Kagome was enjoying the feelings washing through her, Sesshomaru was kissing every square inch of the female enjoying her responses in the form of moans and mewls. He made his way to the beautiful caramel-tipped breasts licking and suckling one while rubbing and pinching the other. When he finished giving one the attention with his mouth, he switched to the other breast giving it equal attention. Kagome’s hands found their way to the demon’s head holding him in position as he continued his assault, not wanting him to stop.
Kagome was lost in the feelings the inu was invoking in her. Even though she was trying to analyze what was happening to her she gave in and let herself enjoy the pleasure.
The Inu finished his attack of her chest and made open-mouthed kisses down her stomach passing her belly button down to her abdomen, enjoying how it shuddered as he kissed her there. Sesshomaru made his way to her sacred area enjoying the sweet musky scent of her arousal.
Before Kagome could stop him, the demon had her thighs apart and his fingers separating her nether lips and his tongue licking her. ÒGods she tastes so good,Ó the Inu thought as he continued to lick and then suckle on her pearl.
Kagome couldn’t control her reactions to the feelings he brought forth from her body. The licking had been one thing but when the Inu began suckling on the little bundle of nerves she couldn’t stop from bucking her hips in response.
Sesshomaru held her hips down with one arm as he continued to suck her bud. As she continued to shudder in response closing in on another orgasm he took his free hand and inserted his index finger in her extremely tight channel, setting her off in an explosive convulsion.
Her passionate screams from her orgasm rang through the cave and Sesshomaru enjoyed her impassioned response to his ministrations, his member throbbing in want of release. As Kagome began to come down from her high, Sesshomaru used her wet channel to his advantage and slipped a second finger in and gently pumped in and out, causing her to moan. As she loosened up around his two fingers a third was added as he continued his gentle thrusts with his hand and watching her as he put pressure on her overly sensitized clit.
Sesshomaru felt the telltale signs of her oncoming orgasm by the tightening of her muscles around his hand and he sucked hard on her pearl bringing her over the edge.
Kagome saw white her climax was so intense. Her body shuddered and stiffened in response. The Inu continued thrusting his fingers as he sat up on his knees and watched her face in her bliss.
As she came down, he removed his fingers and caught her eye making sure she watch him as he licked and sucked each finger clean of her juices. Kagome panted from the intensity of her orgasm, her body singing. Watching the Inu clean his fingers was terribly erotic.
She watched as he finished licking his fingers and then he leaned on his elbow over her body placing his hips between hers and looking straight into her eyes. His other hand grasped his hardened member rubbing it against her wetness in preparation.
ÒAre you ready Kagome?Ó he asked her with a passion-filled voice. Not trusting her voice, Kagome nodded her assent.
The Inu lined his rock hard cock up to her entrance and then placed his other arm to the other side of her, keeping the majority of his weight from crushing her. Slowly his member entered her body, stretching her muscles to epic proportions. Kagome tried to relax knowing that tensing up would make things more painful. She panted at the intense feelings of the pulling of muscles inside her.
When Sesshomaru felt the barrier that signified her innocence he looked to her in question and at her nod, he pulled his hips back and thrust through. Kagome yelped in pain from the tearing of her hymen tensing from the intensity of the discomfort. Sesshomaru began to kiss her gently, a rumbling in his chest vibrating through her in attempt to calm and distract the female from the pain.
When the Inu felt the muscles around his length begin to loosen and Kagome move slightly he knew it was time. Slowly he pulled out to the tip and gently re-entered her sheath. Both of them moaned at the sensations caused by the friction. Repeating the move over and over he continued to thrust and pull enjoying the feelings invoked in him and the moans from her.
Once Kagome got past the initial pain there was a slight burn. As the Inu slowly continued his pace the burn was replaced by incredible sensations. She moaned as he increased his pace hitting a spot within her that cause intense pleasure.
As the intensity built within Kagome, Sesshomaru could feel the first orgasm build as her muscles began to throb and before he knew it, clamp down on his cock. He held still as he rode out her climax trying to keep himself from prematurely releasing within her. When she finally calmed, he pulled out and flipped her to her knees, ass up and torso down on the furs. Thrusting back inside her hot, tight sheath they both moaned.
Sesshomaru placed his hands at her hips and began thrusting once again enjoying the responsiveness of his female.
Kagome felt him reach deeper within her in this new position causing more intense feelings and responses within her. She moaned at the sensations building within her once again.
As the beast took its place with its logical side for the final bonding his hips began grinding with each forceful push causing him to feel the cervix of his female. The Inu grasped the base of Kagome’s ponytail pulling her up her upper body as his lowered as he dominated her. As the male continued his brutal pounding within her body, he growled into her ear, ÒWhom do you belong to?Ó
Kagome, lost to the sensations of pure pleasure and the nearness of her next climax couldn’t respond. ÒBitch, who do you belong to?!Ó he yelled in a deep growl close to his own end his fangs lengthening. ÒYou Sesshomaru! You!Ó she screamed as she fell into bliss, followed by a roar of the demon dominating her and then a sharp pain as his fangs pierced her left shoulder. She climaxed once again from the marking, her body milking his erection of the seed pumping into her and his knot forming.
Sesshomaru whined in response to his climax so intense it was painful, his mouth still attached to Kagome’s shoulder. His fangs shrank allowing the Inu to lick the mark, healing it. Knowing it would be a while before his knot went down, he held Kagome as he laid them both on their sides, both of them panting from their activities.
ÒSleep Kagome. It will be a while before my body will release you,Ó he softly told her. Kagome nodded and made an inaudible grunt that sounded like an agreement and she dozed off.
Sesshomaru felt at peace for once in his long life. He knew that the road ahead of them would be difficult with him mating a human miko, but the land would prosper once again. With the blooming affection between he and his mate he didn’t doubt it.
