InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Curse: One of Life and One of Death ❯ Chapter 5

“Grandfather what are you doing in our room at such an hour? Is there something we can do to help you?” asked the beast within. “No child I need nothing. I was just wondering what it was that you needed protection from. I feel you drawing nearer to the surface; even now you have broken the most powerful spell ever known to exist. The spell was to prevent you from rising until the death of your father or a time when you will need your power for protection. Yet I still feel the spell you have clearly broken through enough to have the ability to protect and communicate. What bothers me is what you feel you need protection from and I will help.” “I must protect us from our Father and Sister. You and Mother are only safe people, other than mate that we must have. Can you help us get to our mate? Father had denied him access to us, you must help us for only he can stop and save us from us.” “I will try, now rest child.” stated the old man.

 

He left her room, after he felt her beast rest again within, and started to contemplate what it was that she might have meant by needing protection from her Father and Sister. He brushed it off as to the fact that she has been lied to and hurt by the two, but if he really wanted to think about it her Mother and himself had also been lying to an extent as well. He decided to stop thinking about that, he didn't want to think of a father or even a sister who could do harm to their own blood. He laid down on his bed thinking about who she could have been referring to as her mate, he hoped with all hope that it wasn't the wolf demon. He knew that he would have to talk to Sephiroth to find out who he has refused to have around his granddaughter, but for now he just decided to lie down and go to sleep. With a heavy heart he prayed to the Gods for protection over his loved ones and fell asleep.

 

It had been a long night for everyone, especially Kagome. Without realizing it she had tapped into her family's dreams. Hokadashi had dreams of protecting his family as the Grand High Priest in all of the land. Rei's dreams consisted of her and her mate having raised the twins together instead of separate all of these years. Sephiroth's dreams were all jumbled, he dreamed a little about the night he found the cure to the curse, a little about the night he had saved Kagome from Naraku, and a little about what the future might look like. It was a happy future that turned gloomy and war torn quickly behind the twins' misuse of their power, with a voice constantly saying you must choose Life over Death. Kikyo's dreams mostly consisted of the past and a little on the possible future should they do as the cure states. Finally she had her own dream of being rescued and protected by a very strong demon in the form of a silver haired dog with a blue crescent moon on his brow. She had awoken just before she could see the demon's humanoid form.

 

When Kikyo entered the dining room for breakfast she was a little surprised to see that Kagome had already left for school and decided to skip breakfast for some reason. She also noticed when she sat down at the table that her link to Kagome was still being blocked and that there was an eerie feeling of this is how this family is suppose to be, just her parents, grandpa, and herself. She ate breakfast with her family with a mischievous smirk. Her father told her, “Today when you get home from school your mother will start training you to harness your priestess powers, while I train Kagome. I need you to come straight home ok? I want to get as much training as possible before your birthday, which is only two days away.” “What's so special about this birthday from any other Father?” “I just want to celebrate that day and not train, consider it like a day of rest, now go to school sweetheart!” Sephiroth said with a smile.

 

At school Sesshoumaru was in the library still trying to figure out his dream. He knew that once he became Lord of the Western Lands that all of his markings would appear, to show everyone and everything how strong and powerful he is. He also knew that the blue crescent moon was the family mark, to show he was the Lord of the Moon Kingdom, and that the silver haired dog demon was his beast true form. However, what he couldn't figure out was who in the hell the girl was in his dream that he was protecting with all his might. She was calling his name so sweetly it was hypnotic. “Lord Fluffy!” Kagome said a little above a whisper while waving her hand in front of his face. She really didn't want to disturb him; he looked so cute with that smile on his face, but she had to ask him if she could catch a ride today to the Inutaisho Manor.

 

Sesshoumaru was pulled from his musing when he heard someone call him `Lord Fluffy.' It was not a very cute nickname either, however, his attitude changed once he saw Kagome standing there with a big smirk on her face. With a glimmer of mischief in his eyes and a twisted smirk he asked, “What can I do for you, Bitch?” “First off my name is Kagome, Princess Kagome to you! Secondly I wanted to ask a favor, if you could give me a ride to the Inutaisho Manor. I need to speak to the Lord. And finally my name is not Bitch!” “As to me calling you Princess, I will think about it! But more importantly why do you wish to speak to my father? Can your own father not help you? And your name may not be Bitch, but you are MY Bitch to call so if I choose! For are you not a female shadow dog?”

 

With that said he brushed past her with one last comment, “Since it is time for first period to start you will sit with me at lunch and tell me what it is you wish from my father and then I will decide if you can come to my manor.” Kagome started fuming at this. `Master he takes liking to us! He called us his bitch. Master must keep potential mate happy and close.' `What? Why? Are you crazy? He isn't even Lord yet and he already is on a power trip. I swear I should teach that dog a lesson, this “BITCH” is a force to be reckoned with!' With that said the beast just growled a low growl of being pleased with its master's comments and thoughts. Soon after he left, Sango and Miroku, while dragging Inuyasha, came into the library and grabbed her and pulled her to first period. They all sat in the back of the room passing notes. They all wanted to know what was wrong with her, she had never been so quiet before in class; normally she was bubbly and full of life, now she just looked as though death was knocking on her door. `Hey Kags! What's wrong with you today? Do you and I need to go beat up that worthless Koga for still bothering you after he cheated on you?' Sango wrote then handed the note to Kagome. `No we don't need to beat Koga up, he has been leaving me alone since I yelled at him yesterday. And I will talk to you guys tomorrow at lunch about what is wrong. I have to talk to Inu's brother today and go see his father about something this evening. Again I will tell you all everything tomorrow just not right now!'

The first half of school was a breeze to her, but now it was lunch time and she would have to sit with Sesshoumaru instead of her friends. She couldn't figure out why the gods had made him so damn gorgeous but with a personality chip defect. “So what is it that you need to talk to my father about that your own can't help you with, my Bitch?” “Sesshoumaru I swear if you keep that up I will destroy that beautiful Shelby of yours! And as for what I need from your father that is between us.” He glared at her for the threat she made against his precious car, however he knew her threat to be empty. He could tell by the way she called it a Shelby, not a mustang or plain car, which meant that she appreciated muscle cars as did he. “Why can't your own father help you? I know he returned to your home last night though I can't smell him on you I have smelled him on your so called twin.”

 

She was a little surprised normally she is referred to as the “so called twin” not the other way around. `Maybe there is more than meets the eyes with Sess.' `Yes Master, trust in him, he can help us!' Sesshoumaru wasn't sure but for a second he could have sworn he felt her beast's power rise to the surface and growled towards him, but no one seemed to have noticed it other than him. “I trust not my father, I have found out my very existence is possibly at risk and I can't afford to have trust in him to do what is right by me. He said your father has more resources than him, he also stated that your father is more powerful, so I have come to ask your father for help and training. My day of birth is but two days away and as such I will be turning 17, the age where I can choose to move out if I wish and they won't be able to stop me.”

 

He thought over what she said and concluded that her father had told her of this so called cure which has now caused mistrust. However, if she is planning to live on her own once she has turned 17 there was going to be a big problem. “I fear it because that means that her beast knows that something will happen to her on that day” Sephiroth's words suddenly came to mind. “I will take you; and you alone, to my Manor. Meet me as soon as the last bell has rung and we will leave then.” “Thank you Sesshoumaru!” Kagome said with a smile as she got up to put her tray away he grabbed her wrist and said, “I told you that you are to call me Lord Sesshoumaru and here take my tray, my Bitch!” With fire finally burning deep in her eyes he got up handed her his tray and proceeded to walk out of the cafeteria with a big smirk.

 

It was now the last class for the day and Kikyo couldn't wait because Inuyasha had asked her if he could walk her home for the day and all other days! She knew she was suppose to remain focus on the fact that she was soon to be training but she had never had a boyfriend who was so nice or for that fact a half breed. `This is definitely going to be interesting!' she thought to herself. When the final bell finally rung she hurried to the front doors to wait on Inuyasha, but when she got there she saw Naraku glaring towards the parking lot. “What's wrong Naraku another girl turn you down so soon?” laughed Kikyo. “No! Actually I was just trying to figure out what Sesshoumaru had that I don't seems how my Kagome is getting into his car. She will be mine and no one else's.” “Well Naraku you could always try to swoon my sister with a spectacular gift, our birthday is only two days away!” After a few more minutes of chatting she finally caught sight of Inuyasha and together they proceeded to walk towards her shrine.

 

Meanwhile with Sesshoumaru and Kagome, he noticed that she was taking in everything that he had done to his car. “Do you wish to see how fast this beast can really move?” “Oh yes would I ever! I mean if it is not too much trouble for you!” Kagome said almost shyly trying to calm down her excitement. He smirked when he saw her blushing and continued to drive to an abandoned airport strip that was soon to be turned into a shopping strip. Once there he floored the gas peddle and just drove as if there was no tomorrow. She was in heaven, “God I don't think anything could be better than this!” “Well I can think of some things that might be, my dear! Here how would you like to drive?” he asked her as he tried to get the erotic images of her out of his head. “You…you would let…let me drive you car?” she asked on the verge from a total melt down of adrenaline, oh she thought that she must be dreaming. “No one has ever let me drive there vehicle before, but don't worry I do know how to drive. It's just it has always been my dream to drive this particular type of car and now I can and I am hyperventilating.

 

After about 15 minutes of non stop speed driving, at times exceeding 115 mph, she finally pulled over. “I wonder if this is better than sex!” she said. He started laughing and opened his door to circle around and opened the door on the driver side for Kagome to get out of. He held out his hand for her and the minute their hands touched they both felt a little shock go through them. He immediately knew what it meant, however, Kagome just brushed it off as static electricity. `So you have finally decided on a mate have you?' `Yes Master they shall make perfect, strong, and beautiful mate and together pups for the future. We know only true mates feel that shock, both beasts have to be in agreement to have that connection. We must protect mate with all we are.' Sesshoumaru immediately pulled her into an embrace and passionately kissed her.

 

Kagome was shocked at first but quickly released her guard to melt into his embrace and kiss. When she felt his tongue ask for entrance she slowly parted her lips. `This is the most passionate kiss I have ever allowed anyone to share with me. I normally only allow pecks on the cheeks, sometimes the lips, but dear god never like this!' `Master it feels good, does it not? Please allow us him!' roared her beast. Finally the kiss was over, due to the little thing called `lack of oxygen!' Both were silently cursing the fact that their bodies couldn't be sustained on the kiss alone and just forget about the whole needing to breathe part. He was the first to speak, “My apologies, my Lady, I'm not sure what…” “Oh shut up and kiss me again!” she said with a coy smile as she wrapped her hands around his neck to bring herself closer to his face. He smiled as he again leaned down to ravish her lips but this time he cupped her buttocks and lifted her to sit on the hood of his car. She wrapped her legs around his waist the minute he picked her up. She felt his hands start to softly graze over her entire upper body and she could feel the growing need in him with every grind of her hips she did to him.

 

When he stopped this time for air he got a big whiff of her arousal at that point and knew that he would not allow her first time to be on the hood of his car in an abandoned airport strip. “Gome as much as I would really love to continue this I can't bring myself to allow your first time to be out in the open and on the hood of my car, it should be a more private and intimate setting. If you still want I will take you to go see my father or I could just take you home now. Your wish is my command, my Lady!” She couldn't stop blushing, `he just said my name sort of! Why does he keep calling me his lady? Oh dear god I have never felt this way in all my life. I honestly never knew what I was missing!' `Master make him continue, we want mate! He is strong and he can protect and train us to harness what is ours. Our power he does not seek but rather us!' “Sess I would really love to possibly continue this with you soon but you are right and I do still wish to talk to your father.” With that said he picked her up and carried her over to the passenger side and then proceeded to the driver's side to drive to his home.

 

At the shrine Kikyo arrived with Inuyasha in tow. Sephiroth was not happy that the only daughter, that came home like he asked, came home with a friend; Inutaisho's other son no less. “Kikyo where is your sister?” She didn't want to have her father's attention diverted else where so she said, “she left with some friend and said she would be home later. Maybe you can join Mother and me with my training and start with Kagome tomorrow; she is a fast learner is she not?” Inuyasha turned to her trying to figure out why she just lied to her father but instead opted to say, “Well if you are going to be training maybe we can just hang out later on. I'll see you around Kik!”

 

She watched as Inuyasha left, she had hoped that he would have hung around and watched her train and then they could have even done their homework together. “Kikyo what I have to teach is of no relevance to what you have to learn; only your mother can teach you how to harness your priestess powers. Just like what your mother has to teach would be of no use to your sister. There will be plenty of time for us to hang out and get to know each other, I promise. But I need to find your sister now so I can bring her home to start training; she is the one that is in more danger, from others and herself. Do you know who she went with, and know this daughter as a dog demon I know when you are lying, so don't.” “Yes Father I know who she went home with. Naraku, a half spider demon, told me he saw her get into Sesshoumaru's car. He said he was going to follow her and make sure she was safe. Also I don't know where Sesshoumaru lives. That was his half younger brother that just left though.”
