Chapter One: Sweet Times
By: Niongi
`The sun is almost set. In this warring era, most humans do not wander outside their villages at this time of day. When the darkness nears, demons, monsters, and bandits of the most vicious breeds prey on those few human stragglers who stay out after dark. The only protection we can have is in numbers and the priests or priestesses who provide a holy safeguard. But…who…a girl? It’s almost sunset and she’s picking flowers? Way out here?’
The houshi leaned against a knotted tree; he might as well wait and escort her home and it wouldn’t hurt to let her finish picking them. She was a beautiful, young woman certainly not a peasant, but a noblewoman. Strangely, she walked alone, not a single vassal or guard in sight to guard her, pitiful. Her hair was dark as ebony, pale gray eyes and skin white as clean snow. She leaned down and plucked a flower adding it to her already growing bouquet. 'She is definitely a Princess of some neighboring castle. In a silk lavender kimono, she’s even lovelier, but why…why would a Lady be out at this time of night?’ The young houshi lightly sighed, watching the Hime-sama pick an armful of flowers. 'Oh Gods! Who is that?’ A tall man with pale moonlight hair and skin, his eyes piercing gold, with markings on his face and arms, called to the young woman. She smiled and jogged over to him presenting the flowers, rather flamboyantly.
“Kagome, come.” The man beckoned to the lady, she walked closer to him smiling, “Kagome, what are you doing?” He smirked licking his fangs sensually, the woman unconsciously shivered.
The houshi gulped, ‘Fangs? A youkai!’
“I'm picking some flowers,” she caressed the bouquet thoughtfully, “Why, worried Fluffy darling?” Sesshoumaru, breathed in the scent of his mate, he raised an eyebrow at her unusual nickname, and a different scent. A human, he glanced towards the general direction, it was a monk. Sesshoumaru quickly accessed his age, he was young, he couldn’t have left his master but a few weeks or so, a wonderful thought crossed his mind, this would be very amusing. ‘Welcome to the world, Monk.’ The houshi gulped the urge to run for it having never been stronger in his life but he couldn't get away from a full-grown youkai. The youkai had obviously seen him, but he hadn’t attacked him yet, so the best course of action was to just wait and pray they left soon, the houshi leaned against the tree.
“Sesshoumaru what are you looking at?” Kagome cooed cuddling the flowers to her chest.
“Nothing, important,” going toward his mate, the young lord pulled her hand with the lovely bouquet to his face smelling the flowers. “Their fragrance is nothing compared to your scent.”
“Oh it’s…oh…”Sesshoumaru without so much as a warning captured his mate's mouth, she moaned into his touch, leaning towards him. Sesshoumaru tossed the flowers to the ground; he knew exactly what he wanted to do. For the next few hours, he would seek the sweet fragrance of his woman, nothing but this woman.
“Sesshoumaru!” Kagome jerked her head back, “We can’t, you said Sessh–” Sesshoumaru grabbed a hold of her hair pulling her hard against him, tilting her head up he covered her mouth with his own. Searching the cavern of her mouth with his tongue, filling every known crevice, he glanced again toward the houshi. Breathing in he could tell she was already worked up and he had barely touched her.
He hadn’t touched her for a few days because of her incompliant attitude to any and everything he asked of her. He was patient at first. ‘She’s young, and rebellious,’ he told himself but after a few days of her whining, his patience had run out. She had flaunted little phrases repeatedly to him, especially one ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ This to Sesshoumaru-sama was ridiculous why would loneliness make you love someone more; he had accidentally confused absence with abstinence. Sesshoumaru had decided to use her ‘theory’ temporarily, to see if her heart was fonder or more so her body, of him."
`Oh Kami help me. I can’t be watching this!’ The houshi bit his lip to keep from shuddering or moving unaware, he didn’t need the youkai to pay attention to him. He remembered his master telling him something along the lines: ‘Youkai are the most fearsome with their mates, or when they are mating. The only thing you can do is pray to god they do not come after you.’
Sesshoumaru pushed his mate against a slender tree nearby. Gently licking and suckling on her warm willing lips. He opened her kimono to reveal her well-endowed chest.
“Beautiful and only, mine.” Sesshoumaru hotly whispered in her ear sweet nothing’s in his own demonic tongue. He greedily licked and suckled fiercely on one breast, slowly teasing the sensitive areole until it budded for him. Sesshoumaru smirked, and opened his mate's kimono, jerking the obi out of the way; he let the silken band curl to the ground. Kagome gasped, the cool air slapping against her heated skin. Sesshoumaru licked his claws, sidling his left claw between their bodies, teasing her sensitive pearl, Kagome shifted slightly so that he could reach more easily, and was rewarded when he rolled the spot between his fingers, causing Kagome to moan sweetly and grip his shoulders more tightly. Little pulses of gratifying pleasure followed every movement made by his fingers.
Rubbing a bit harder with his thumb, he nearly growled when he heard her cry of surprise. Sesshoumaru stopped much to the dismay of his clearly aroused mate.
“Come here Kagome,” Sesshoumaru whispered and walked toward a tree that more suited his needs. A tall, ancient tree; gnarled and twisted its branches seemed to have grown in random directions. The roots of the tree although the majority were probably deep underground, a few dozen were poking out of the ground, warping into odd shapes like fingers from a hand–most definitely the perfect spot for what Sesshoumaru had in mind. Looking back, he saw Kagome pause, her kimono blowing gently with the wind giving Sesshoumaru and excellent view, and she came toward him. Sesshoumaru looked towards the young monk. ‘Now he has the perfect view.’
“Sessh…mmm,” Kagome moaned as Sesshoumaru pushed her against the tree and shoved his tongue deep in her mouth. `Her scent is intoxicating.’ He chuckled against Kagome's mouth pulling easily away once more. Kagome whimpered at the lack of contact giving Sesshoumaru a desperate look.
“Sesshoumaru, stop it. I’ve had enough teasing.” Kagome whined taking a step toward him, her arm's reaching out to pull him toward her much needing body. Sesshoumaru pulled her close to him leaning his back against the tree, slowly running his tongue over her collarbone and throat.
Sesshoumaru smirked at her discomfort, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder. You’ve had enough? Really Ka-go-me.” Emphasizing each syllable with a tiny nip to her neck, he whispered hotly in her ear, “Your theory was correct as evident by your arousal. I believe it was also you, not only an hour or so ago that said: We should do something else.”
“Mouu…but I …oh…it’s, theory? You dummy…” Sesshoumaru grinded his hips up against her resting her knees on the trunk of the tree, pulling her hair to her left side he smirked, glancing to his right.
“Someone has been watching us.” Kagome groaned in protest her cheeks turning red, her heart was beating so fast in her chest that it hurt, and blood pounded in her head. Someone was watching them she could feel them. A strong, warm breeze found its way through the forest, making the leaves above rustle loudly as the wind tossed about Sesshoumaru's silky hair, and Kagome’s kimono. Sesshoumaru pulled his hands up to hold her hips and he leaned down for an open-mouthed kiss, letting Kagome's hand untie the belt of his under-robe. His arousal was tight with excitement, and Sesshoumaru wanted nothing more at that moment than to be inside Kagome. They didn’t have much time; they had to reach the manor within the next day. ‘I need to go faster.’
Kagome straightened her arm as she shoved it farther down into her mate's clothing, seeking the flesh that she wanted to have within her own body very soon. Finding it hard and erect, pointed straight out from his hips, Kagome hesitantly wrapped her fingers around it, not sure, if Sesshoumaru wanted this at the moment. Sesshoumaru turned his head slightly, deepening their kiss as his hair cascaded down his shoulder onto Kagome.
‘Please, Kagome...’ She felt him widen his stance and push into her hand. Feeling as if the tables had turned from the last time they were in this setting and situation, Kagome conceded and began moving her left hand, meeting his small thrusts. Needing air, Kagome pulled away from his kiss, and instead watched Sesshoumaru's face. Rarely did anything get him as worked up enough to tint his cheeks a lovely shade of pink, but what Kagome was now performing was one of those exerting acts that Sesshoumaru couldn't quite keep his stoic expression. She felt his heavy breaths against her cheek, avidly listening for every time the air caught in his throat.
“Enough!” Sesshoumaru jerked her hand away bending her over a root he had to finish now.
"Please, Sesshoumaru," Kagome groaned, her voice raspy with need. Sesshoumaru smirked gripping her hips firmly in his hands. He rolled his hips slowly, brushing himself against her. He squeezed an inch into her body, but then pulled out, rubbing the tip over and between her lips. He did this several times, each wresting out a frustrated moan from his mate. Feeling his tip push inside her again, Kagome called his name when the tip slipped out again.
"Do you want me inside of you, Kagome? Tell me," Sesshoumaru purred, his deep voice tinged with a bit of huskiness. Kagome bit down on her lower lip, feeling his length rubbing against the ache between her legs.
"S-Sesshoumaru!” Kagome huskily said, looking back at him with a pained expression on her face. Looking ahead again, Kagome restlessly moved her rear, inviting Sesshoumaru to continue as she begged him to take her. Kagome sighed, feeling his hands on her hips, but Sesshoumaru then reached forward and took her arm. Pulling her towards him away from the tree root, he ignored her protests, very much aware of her need and his own.
Finally seeing that he was just changing positions, Kagome eagerly wrapped her legs around his waist, clamping her thighs together. She reached down between them since Sesshoumaru was supporting her weight with his hands underneath her backside, and placed his throbbing, slick member into position.
He immediately drove into her and kept up a fast pace, leaning forward to taste the skin over her collarbone. Kagome clutched Sesshoumaru's shoulders, breathing fast as her body jerked upwards in his arms from the force of his thrusts. She could feel the rough bark of the tree through the back of her under-robe as it grated against her tender skin.
"Sesshoumaru," Kagome sighed, her voice breaking with every jolt to her body. The long, thick arousal pumping in and out of her body felt unquestionably sinful, and Kagome couldn't help but imagine how they must look from afar. A demon lord mating with a human female against a tree--her legs wrapped around his waist as he shoved his way into her body. Kagome held on for dear life, her climax was definitely at the edge of her mind and body, ready to take a hold of her.
Sesshoumaru pulled her hips a little ways out from the trunk, finding a new slant and driving towards it. His haori had fallen down his shoulders, and the added sensation of his own hair brushing against his shoulders only stacked on top of the feelings in his body, rather than distracting him.
"Sesshoumaru! Uhhhn!” Kagome cried out, knowing she would have bruises later. Sesshoumaru only went faster, loving the way Kagome's calves bounced behind him despite her efforts to stay still.
"Don't stop...ohhhh...don't stop, Sesshoum-!” Kagome screamed. She heard Sesshoumaru give a long rough growl, and his legs must have straightened themselves as his body tensed up because Kagome felt her back ride higher on the trunk. Her climax rushed at her from nowhere, and she felt a high, violent orgasm ripping down her body to the place between her legs where their bodies connected. She heard him moan against her throat, his warm seed filling her body. Kagome made a high, breathy moan, almost like an outward gasp, her lower body jerked involuntarily.
Sesshoumaru thrust into her a few more times, working the last of essence out, Kagome could feel her leg muscles failing her, but Sesshoumaru pulled her away from the tree trunk to sink to his knees, setting Kagome on his thighs and wrapping his arms around her as he attempted to catch his breath. Sesshoumaru’s armor and Kagome’s clothes littered the ground. Sesshoumaru patted her rump, standing up; he set her easily on her feet drawing her kimono close.
“Come we must bath, then be on our way.”
“Ok, but what did you mean earlier someone was watching us?” Kagome blushed, walking toward the river just around the other side of the tree. Sesshoumaru glanced to where the houshi had been. He had obviously fled.
“Perhaps I will tell you later.” Sesshoumaru calmly gathered the layers of her kimono, evading her question. Looking around, Kagome found her sandals and stood up, slipping her feet into the straps of her shoes. Sesshoumaru handed her the kimonos neatly folded. Making her way to Ah-Un with her bag in tow, Kagome slipped her soiled kimonos into the largest satchel, and then pulled out a plain cotton one, but it was a clean one.
Putting a clean towel and the kimono into her bag along with some soap on a string and her brush, she slid her feet out of her sandals and then slipped out of her under-robe, folding it and setting it on the grass. Finding the soap in her bag, Kagome slowly waded into the stream. The current wasn't fast, but Kagome would have to pay attention to where she stepped. Her teeth chattered at the temperature of the water, but she knew she'd be able to wash and get out before it mattered too much. Turning to see Sesshoumaru still kneeling on the bank, Kagome pinched her lower lip between her teeth and braved a question.
"Could...could you bathe with me? I'm a little cold," Kagome’s teeth chattered, looking down at the surface of the water. Peeking up again, Kagome saw Sesshoumaru simply stand up and begin to remove his clothing. Unable to take her eyes away, Kagome practically ogled every line of his body as he uncovered it. Becoming aware that her mouth was open once Sesshoumaru had removed his shoes, she snapped it shut. They bathed in silence, and quickly.
The temperature of the stream's chilled water versus the temperature of Sesshoumaru's much warmer body had created a bit of steam, which rose from his chest and shoulders. His hair darkened by the water clung to his steaming skin; the water fell down his body in little rivulets. He drew closer to her, their bodies almost touching; Sesshoumaru actually smirked, at Kagome’s yelp of protest. He reached for the soap hanging from her neck, taking out of the water with him. Sesshoumaru dropped the soap onto the bank, and firmly squeezed the water out his hair. Sesshoumaru shook the grass out of his kimono, watching Kagome also get out and get dressed.
“Come let us go home.” Giving Sesshoumaru a pouting look, she leaned into his embrace rubbing her cheek into his tail. Sesshoumaru easily flew into the sky, Kagome falling asleep in his arms.
-Five Hour’s Later-
`The Heart of the Western Land's my home…no…my manor…if only my father could see me now…the youngest Lord to ever rule one of the great lands.’’ Seeing his mate had wakened, “Good waking my little miko, we're home,” he smiled and gave his mate a small kiss.
“Morning…how long have I been-,” smiling, she stifled a small yawn then noticing her surrounding, started yelling excitingly, “Oh, Sesshoumaru, look the manor!”
“Yes we're home.” Sesshoumaru glanced over the wide expanse of his manor. Everything was how they had left it over a year ago. The manor’s high wall’s, and gate kept other demons from entering, showed that no damage, but the plant life had obviously taken over the wall; it would need to be removed. He looked at the lack of activity on the ground; he needed to retrieve his vassals and servants to his household. The upkeep of the manor could lead to a disaster. He could hear almost hear the reproach he would have received from his father. Sesshoumaru glanced down.
Jaken was running out to the middle of the courtyard, gaily jumping up and down in excitement. Sesshoumaru masked his expressions; as usual, he would never show any emotion in front of his vassal, at least not anything friendly. He dropped onto the ground as Jaken came running up to greet his master and mistress. `He reeks of his new wife Yoshika. Disgusting you would think he would at least run through a scented room before greeting this Sesshoumaru. Kagome feels warm in my arms.'
“My Lord you’re back,” jumping for joy Jaken grinned bowing several times, “We have been looking forward to your return milord.”
“Yes we are home.” Sesshoumaru set Kagome’s bag to the ground, and glanced at Jaken, “You should have bathed.”
“Gomen nasai my Lord,” looking abruptly startled Jaken immediately bowed low to the ground. He had forgotten his lord's highly sensitive nose, a year alone in the manor he had stopped thinking of such things. Ah-uh calmly walked away from the group, resting in the gravel of the courtyard he chewed on some nearby roots ignoring them.
“Go bathe.” Nodding, at Jaken's bobbing head and small replies of, “Hai my Lord…never again…will Jaken…forgive me my lord!” Sesshoumaru dismissed the lowly toad with a kick. Jaken skidded over in front of the pack animal, and grabbed a hold of Ah-Uh’s bridle, dragging the docile creature along with him.
Kagome waited until Jaken had left to talk to Sesshoumaru. He over had the last years explained several times that he would not discuss anything with her in the presence of a servant or a retainer; it was invasion of his privacy.
“I can walk so could you put me down now?” Kagome grinned he looked like a spoiled child deprived of his toy, he reluctantly set her to her feet. Sesshoumaru inwardly berated himself for giving into so many of her whims now he didn’t even want to tell her.
“Kagome, you are going to stay in the manor for several weeks.” Kagome blinked she had distinctly heard him say you, not we.
“We just got back! Why do you need to leave?” Sesshoumaru ignored her questions, his jaw set in a firm line. Kagome sighed he usually didn’t answer anyway. She walked into his embrace, breathing in his kimono. ‘Is it because…’ Kagome tugged at his kimono softly, “Are you leaving today?”
“I will leave within the hour after you have eaten. During the course of the next few days vassals and servants will be arriving at the manor. They have their instructions.I need to bring vassals here and servants for the manor. Over the next few days, servants and vassals should be arriving to serve me. Jaken has seen to it that they would arrive later today. He had also informed me before through a messenger, that there are still rogues on my land, and that some vassals have yet to reply to my summons.” They had been walking down the large expanse of the hallway making their way to dining room.
Sesshoumaru glanced at the dining room it had obviously been cleaned in a hurry; dust was still dancing in the air. Sesshoumaru wrinkled his nose could detect Jaken’s wife near by, Yoshika, with an inward shudder of revulsion. Kagome hopped into her seat with Sesshoumaru kneeling in his, the manor was definitely big and she didn’t’ quite remember it being this expansive, but then again they had just gone to Sesshoumaru’s bedroom.
“What's wrong Sesshoumaru?” Kagome inquired, brushing her hair off her shoulder.
“Jaken’s wife Yoshika is coming with our food,” pausing slightly at her small laughter, “and… she is making me lose my appetite.”
“Do I make you lose your appetite?” whispering seductively, although he heard his mate loud and clear he kept his face forward. He didn’t have time, but Kagome crawled over to him.
“No you don't,” He pulled Kagome down into his lap, “ could…” and Yoshika came in with the food, her eyes downcast so as not to see anything she shouldn't. Although still receiving a cold glare from Sesshoumaru, she served the main dish, he let Kagome up and they both sat in their seats. A little disappointed in the timing Kagome gave the little toad wart a dirty look, Yoshika severed their moment, “Yoshika do you think…when you’re finished serving us you could go bath please?” Yoshika glared at the little human, however, a quick glance from Sesshoumaru sent her into a clumsy bow.
“Yes ma’am,” bowing to the floor although it was hard do to her obese figure, “Forgive me my lady.” Turning and bowing in Sesshoumaru's direction, “My Lord,” leaving the dining room. Kagome and Sesshoumaru ate in silence, Kagome was very tired and Sesshoumaru was preoccupied with his thoughts.
_____________________________
Sesshoumaru gave Kagome one last kiss, and then floated in the air, “I will return in three weeks.”
“Please come back safe, I love you,” blowing a kiss in his direction and he was gone. `I love you, please return safely.'
Sesshoumaru watched as his young mate watched him. `I know she can face any youkai but I…’ The thought left him as he smiled at her retreating back. Kagome turned and walked to the pond with clear water and koi signing as she walked by a massive ancient tree in the middle of the courtyard.
“Don't worry Kagome-chan, you know as I do Lord Sesshoumaru always comes back,” Jaken said walking up behind her, “and you know Lord Sesshoumaru doesn't like you dawdling, why don't you, practice your archery, and if you don't think me to bold in saying so your swordsmanship does need improvement me Lady,” bowing low to his mistress.
“Real funny Jaken, oh and you really need to keep Yoshika away from me I can't stand her I'm sorry,” standing up and heading to the bathhouse.
_____________________________
There was a single clap of thunder, loud enough to vibrate the walls of the mansion. Kagome jerked awake, her heart fluttering inside her ribs. She looked to the window, and saw the darkness of the night, from the slits in the window's shutters; it had to be about midnight, flashes of lightning intermittently interrupted the night air. The sound of thunder and pounding rain indicated a heavy downpour. Well she couldn’t sleep now…Kagome quietly slipped through the manor, several servants had already arrived. She covered her mouth and gripped on to the wall. The next hall was filled with youkai warriors, all of which were fast asleep, or at least pretended to be. Slipping past them she finally made it to the bathhouse without another incident. Closing the door behind her, she dropped her kimono to the ground a little flustered that was there already a big white towel off to the side.
'Sesshoumaru was right they did get here.’ Kagome leaned down and ungracefully slipped into the water. ‘I guess one of those servants left me the towel.’ Glancing at the lanterns already lit she assumed they had lit those as well. ‘Well Sesshoumaru will be gone for about a month, to fetch his rouge vassals...and settle the rebellion of humans running unchecked throughout his lands, and I’m here…alone...’ Kagome sighed and leaned against a rock in the water, the beautiful bathhouse had once been a hot spring out in the weather, and the Lady of the house a long time ago had enclosed it as a bathhouse.
'Well those servants kinda creepy me out, all of them are demons, and most of them kinda just ignored me. It’s been a long day, ah...finally a nice bath, but not nearly as comforting as when I had Sango. Sango...Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and Inuyasha, it’s been four years since I went with Sesshoumaru three since we defeated Naraku. Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga disappeared after Naraku was defeated, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha they were both quite devastated. Also, four years ago is when Inuyasha revived Kikyo with the sacred jewel. It was a few months after that, that Sesshoumaru and I found out I can’t have children by him because of the jewel in my body, even though Kikyo got her soul because of the jewel she now has three children by Inuyasha, one child, and then twins.’
Tears welled up in Kagome’s eyes, ‘I remember what Sesshoumaru said though I can become a full demon …I won't be the same I will be unknown to myself, like when Inuyasha became a demon. After everything, Sesshoumaru said that it was all right that I couldn’t have children, he would do something...but he never did say what. Huh…well anyways Sesshoumaru’s vassals had left the castle all of them, without his permission when his father died, I remember it being very strange when I came to this huge mansion and no one was here but Jaken, and his wife. Rin had been moved to a small house full of human servants; Sesshoumaru would make her a mate to one of his vassals, when she reached sixteen. The house is still so huge and empty, the only rooms I’ve seen is the one Sesshoumaru and I share, the dining room, and the bath other then that all the dust and memories, Sesshoumaru…please come home soon.’Kagome leaned back in the water closing her eyes, picturing Sesshoumaru flying through the sky, with the pack animal Ah-Uh flying dutifully behind nearby.

Rubbing a bit harder with his thumb, he nearly growled when he heard her cry of surprise. Sesshoumaru stopped much to the dismay of his clearly aroused mate.
“Come here Kagome,” Sesshoumaru whispered and walked toward a tree that more suited his needs. A tall, ancient tree; gnarled and twisted its branches seemed to have grown in random directions. The roots of the tree although the majority were probably deep underground, a few dozen were poking out of the ground, warping into odd shapes like fingers from a hand–most definitely the perfect spot for what Sesshoumaru had in mind.

“Sesshoumaru, stop it. I’ve had enough teasing.” Kagome whined taking a step toward him, her arm's reaching out to pull him toward her much needing body. Sesshoumaru pulled her close to him leaning his back against the tree, slowly running his tongue over her collarbone and throat.
Sesshoumaru smirked at her discomfort, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder. You’ve had enough? Really Ka-go-me.” Emphasizing each syllable with a tiny nip to her neck, he whispered hotly in her ear, “Your theory was correct as evident by your arousal. I believe it was also you, not only an hour or so ago that said: We should do something else.”
“Mouu…but I …oh…it’s, theory? You dummy…” Sesshoumaru grinded his hips up against her resting her knees on the trunk of the tree, pulling her hair to her left side he smirked, glancing to his right.
“Someone has been watching us.” Kagome groaned in protest her cheeks turning red, her heart was beating so fast in her chest that it hurt, and blood pounded in her head. Someone was watching them she could feel them. A strong, warm breeze found its way through the forest, making the leaves above rustle loudly as the wind tossed about Sesshoumaru's silky hair, and Kagome’s kimono. Sesshoumaru pulled his hands up to hold her hips and he leaned down for an open-mouthed kiss, letting Kagome's hand untie the belt of his under-robe. His arousal was tight with excitement, and Sesshoumaru wanted nothing more at that moment than to be inside Kagome. They didn’t have much time; they had to reach the manor within the next day. ‘I need to go faster.’
Kagome straightened her arm as she shoved it farther down into her mate's clothing, seeking the flesh that she wanted to have within her own body very soon. Finding it hard and erect, pointed straight out from his hips, Kagome hesitantly wrapped her fingers around it, not sure, if Sesshoumaru wanted this at the moment. Sesshoumaru turned his head slightly, deepening their kiss as his hair cascaded down his shoulder onto Kagome.
‘Please, Kagome...’ She felt him widen his stance and push into her hand. Feeling as if the tables had turned from the last time they were in this setting and situation, Kagome conceded and began moving her left hand, meeting his small thrusts. Needing air, Kagome pulled away from his kiss, and instead watched Sesshoumaru's face. Rarely did anything get him as worked up enough to tint his cheeks a lovely shade of pink, but what Kagome was now performing was one of those exerting acts that Sesshoumaru couldn't quite keep his stoic expression. She felt his heavy breaths against her cheek, avidly listening for every time the air caught in his throat.
“Enough!” Sesshoumaru jerked her hand away bending her over a root he had to finish now.
"Please, Sesshoumaru," Kagome groaned, her voice raspy with need. Sesshoumaru smirked gripping her hips firmly in his hands. He rolled his hips slowly, brushing himself against her. He squeezed an inch into her body, but then pulled out, rubbing the tip over and between her lips. He did this several times, each wresting out a frustrated moan from his mate. Feeling his tip push inside her again, Kagome called his name when the tip slipped out again.
"Do you want me inside of you, Kagome? Tell me," Sesshoumaru purred, his deep voice tinged with a bit of huskiness. Kagome bit down on her lower lip, feeling his length rubbing against the ache between her legs.
"S-Sesshoumaru!” Kagome huskily said, looking back at him with a pained expression on her face. Looking ahead again, Kagome restlessly moved her rear, inviting Sesshoumaru to continue as she begged him to take her. Kagome sighed, feeling his hands on her hips, but Sesshoumaru then reached forward and took her arm. Pulling her towards him away from the tree root, he ignored her protests, very much aware of her need and his own.
Finally seeing that he was just changing positions, Kagome eagerly wrapped her legs around his waist, clamping her thighs together. She reached down between them since Sesshoumaru was supporting her weight with his hands underneath her backside, and placed his throbbing, slick member into position.
He immediately drove into her and kept up a fast pace, leaning forward to taste the skin over her collarbone. Kagome clutched Sesshoumaru's shoulders, breathing fast as her body jerked upwards in his arms from the force of his thrusts. She could feel the rough bark of the tree through the back of her under-robe as it grated against her tender skin.
"Sesshoumaru," Kagome sighed, her voice breaking with every jolt to her body. The long, thick arousal pumping in and out of her body felt unquestionably sinful, and Kagome couldn't help but imagine how they must look from afar. A demon lord mating with a human female against a tree--her legs wrapped around his waist as he shoved his way into her body. Kagome held on for dear life, her climax was definitely at the edge of her mind and body, ready to take a hold of her.
Sesshoumaru pulled her hips a little ways out from the trunk, finding a new slant and driving towards it. His haori had fallen down his shoulders, and the added sensation of his own hair brushing against his shoulders only stacked on top of the feelings in his body, rather than distracting him.
"Sesshoumaru! Uhhhn!” Kagome cried out, knowing she would have bruises later. Sesshoumaru only went faster, loving the way Kagome's calves bounced behind him despite her efforts to stay still.
"Don't stop...ohhhh...don't stop, Sesshoum-!” Kagome screamed. She heard Sesshoumaru give a long rough growl, and his legs must have straightened themselves as his body tensed up because Kagome felt her back ride higher on the trunk. Her climax rushed at her from nowhere, and she felt a high, violent orgasm ripping down her body to the place between her legs where their bodies connected. She heard him moan against her throat, his warm seed filling her body. Kagome made a high, breathy moan, almost like an outward gasp, her lower body jerked involuntarily.
Sesshoumaru thrust into her a few more times, working the last of essence out, Kagome could feel her leg muscles failing her, but Sesshoumaru pulled her away from the tree trunk to sink to his knees, setting Kagome on his thighs and wrapping his arms around her as he attempted to catch his breath. Sesshoumaru’s armor and Kagome’s clothes littered the ground. Sesshoumaru patted her rump, standing up; he set her easily on her feet drawing her kimono close.
“Come we must bath, then be on our way.”
“Ok, but what did you mean earlier someone was watching us?” Kagome blushed, walking toward the river just around the other side of the tree. Sesshoumaru glanced to where the houshi had been. He had obviously fled.
“Perhaps I will tell you later.” Sesshoumaru calmly gathered the layers of her kimono, evading her question. Looking around, Kagome found her sandals and stood up, slipping her feet into the straps of her shoes. Sesshoumaru handed her the kimonos neatly folded. Making her way to Ah-Un with her bag in tow, Kagome slipped her soiled kimonos into the largest satchel, and then pulled out a plain cotton one, but it was a clean one.
Putting a clean towel and the kimono into her bag along with some soap on a string and her brush, she slid her feet out of her sandals and then slipped out of her under-robe, folding it and setting it on the grass. Finding the soap in her bag, Kagome slowly waded into the stream. The current wasn't fast, but Kagome would have to pay attention to where she stepped. Her teeth chattered at the temperature of the water, but she knew she'd be able to wash and get out before it mattered too much. Turning to see Sesshoumaru still kneeling on the bank, Kagome pinched her lower lip between her teeth and braved a question.
"Could...could you bathe with me? I'm a little cold," Kagome’s teeth chattered, looking down at the surface of the water. Peeking up again, Kagome saw Sesshoumaru simply stand up and begin to remove his clothing. Unable to take her eyes away, Kagome practically ogled every line of his body as he uncovered it. Becoming aware that her mouth was open once Sesshoumaru had removed his shoes, she snapped it shut. They bathed in silence, and quickly.
The temperature of the stream's chilled water versus the temperature of Sesshoumaru's much warmer body had created a bit of steam, which rose from his chest and shoulders. His hair darkened by the water clung to his steaming skin; the water fell down his body in little rivulets. He drew closer to her, their bodies almost touching; Sesshoumaru actually smirked, at Kagome’s yelp of protest. He reached for the soap hanging from her neck, taking out of the water with him. Sesshoumaru dropped the soap onto the bank, and firmly squeezed the water out his hair. Sesshoumaru shook the grass out of his kimono, watching Kagome also get out and get dressed.
“Come let us go home.” Giving Sesshoumaru a pouting look, she leaned into his embrace rubbing her cheek into his tail. Sesshoumaru easily flew into the sky, Kagome falling asleep in his arms.
-Five Hour’s Later-
`The Heart of the Western Land's my home…no…my manor…if only my father could see me now…the youngest Lord to ever rule one of the great lands.’’ Seeing his mate had wakened, “Good waking my little miko, we're home,” he smiled and gave his mate a small kiss.
“Morning…how long have I been-,” smiling, she stifled a small yawn then noticing her surrounding, started yelling excitingly, “Oh, Sesshoumaru, look the manor!”
“Yes we're home.” Sesshoumaru glanced over the wide expanse of his manor. Everything was how they had left it over a year ago. The manor’s high wall’s, and gate kept other demons from entering, showed that no damage, but the plant life had obviously taken over the wall; it would need to be removed. He looked at the lack of activity on the ground; he needed to retrieve his vassals and servants to his household. The upkeep of the manor could lead to a disaster. He could hear almost hear the reproach he would have received from his father. Sesshoumaru glanced down.
Jaken was running out to the middle of the courtyard, gaily jumping up and down in excitement. Sesshoumaru masked his expressions; as usual, he would never show any emotion in front of his vassal, at least not anything friendly. He dropped onto the ground as Jaken came running up to greet his master and mistress. `He reeks of his new wife Yoshika. Disgusting you would think he would at least run through a scented room before greeting this Sesshoumaru. Kagome feels warm in my arms.'
“My Lord you’re back,” jumping for joy Jaken grinned bowing several times, “We have been looking forward to your return milord.”
“Yes we are home.” Sesshoumaru set Kagome’s bag to the ground, and glanced at Jaken, “You should have bathed.”
“Gomen nasai my Lord,” looking abruptly startled Jaken immediately bowed low to the ground. He had forgotten his lord's highly sensitive nose, a year alone in the manor he had stopped thinking of such things. Ah-uh calmly walked away from the group, resting in the gravel of the courtyard he chewed on some nearby roots ignoring them.
“Go bathe.” Nodding, at Jaken's bobbing head and small replies of, “Hai my Lord…never again…will Jaken…forgive me my lord!” Sesshoumaru dismissed the lowly toad with a kick. Jaken skidded over in front of the pack animal, and grabbed a hold of Ah-Uh’s bridle, dragging the docile creature along with him.
Kagome waited until Jaken had left to talk to Sesshoumaru. He over had the last years explained several times that he would not discuss anything with her in the presence of a servant or a retainer; it was invasion of his privacy.
“I can walk so could you put me down now?” Kagome grinned he looked like a spoiled child deprived of his toy, he reluctantly set her to her feet. Sesshoumaru inwardly berated himself for giving into so many of her whims now he didn’t even want to tell her.
“Kagome, you are going to stay in the manor for several weeks.” Kagome blinked she had distinctly heard him say you, not we.
“We just got back! Why do you need to leave?” Sesshoumaru ignored her questions, his jaw set in a firm line. Kagome sighed he usually didn’t answer anyway. She walked into his embrace, breathing in his kimono. ‘Is it because…’ Kagome tugged at his kimono softly, “Are you leaving today?”
“I will leave within the hour after you have eaten. During the course of the next few days vassals and servants will be arriving at the manor. They have their instructions.I need to bring vassals here and servants for the manor. Over the next few days, servants and vassals should be arriving to serve me. Jaken has seen to it that they would arrive later today. He had also informed me before through a messenger, that there are still rogues on my land, and that some vassals have yet to reply to my summons.” They had been walking down the large expanse of the hallway making their way to dining room.
Sesshoumaru glanced at the dining room it had obviously been cleaned in a hurry; dust was still dancing in the air. Sesshoumaru wrinkled his nose could detect Jaken’s wife near by, Yoshika, with an inward shudder of revulsion. Kagome hopped into her seat with Sesshoumaru kneeling in his, the manor was definitely big and she didn’t’ quite remember it being this expansive, but then again they had just gone to Sesshoumaru’s bedroom.
“What's wrong Sesshoumaru?” Kagome inquired, brushing her hair off her shoulder.
“Jaken’s wife Yoshika is coming with our food,” pausing slightly at her small laughter, “and… she is making me lose my appetite.”
“Do I make you lose your appetite?” whispering seductively, although he heard his mate loud and clear he kept his face forward. He didn’t have time, but Kagome crawled over to him.
“No you don't,” He pulled Kagome down into his lap, “ could…” and Yoshika came in with the food, her eyes downcast so as not to see anything she shouldn't. Although still receiving a cold glare from Sesshoumaru, she served the main dish, he let Kagome up and they both sat in their seats. A little disappointed in the timing Kagome gave the little toad wart a dirty look, Yoshika severed their moment, “Yoshika do you think…when you’re finished serving us you could go bath please?” Yoshika glared at the little human, however, a quick glance from Sesshoumaru sent her into a clumsy bow.
“Yes ma’am,” bowing to the floor although it was hard do to her obese figure, “Forgive me my lady.” Turning and bowing in Sesshoumaru's direction, “My Lord,” leaving the dining room. Kagome and Sesshoumaru ate in silence, Kagome was very tired and Sesshoumaru was preoccupied with his thoughts.
_____________________________
Sesshoumaru gave Kagome one last kiss, and then floated in the air, “I will return in three weeks.”
“Please come back safe, I love you,” blowing a kiss in his direction and he was gone. `I love you, please return safely.'
Sesshoumaru watched as his young mate watched him. `I know she can face any youkai but I…’ The thought left him as he smiled at her retreating back. Kagome turned and walked to the pond with clear water and koi signing as she walked by a massive ancient tree in the middle of the courtyard.
“Don't worry Kagome-chan, you know as I do Lord Sesshoumaru always comes back,” Jaken said walking up behind her, “and you know Lord Sesshoumaru doesn't like you dawdling, why don't you, practice your archery, and if you don't think me to bold in saying so your swordsmanship does need improvement me Lady,” bowing low to his mistress.
“Real funny Jaken, oh and you really need to keep Yoshika away from me I can't stand her I'm sorry,” standing up and heading to the bathhouse.
_____________________________
There was a single clap of thunder, loud enough to vibrate the walls of the mansion. Kagome jerked awake, her heart fluttering inside her ribs. She looked to the window, and saw the darkness of the night, from the slits in the window's shutters; it had to be about midnight, flashes of lightning intermittently interrupted the night air. The sound of thunder and pounding rain indicated a heavy downpour. Well she couldn’t sleep now…Kagome quietly slipped through the manor, several servants had already arrived. She covered her mouth and gripped on to the wall. The next hall was filled with youkai warriors, all of which were fast asleep, or at least pretended to be. Slipping past them she finally made it to the bathhouse without another incident. Closing the door behind her, she dropped her kimono to the ground a little flustered that was there already a big white towel off to the side.
'Sesshoumaru was right they did get here.’ Kagome leaned down and ungracefully slipped into the water. ‘I guess one of those servants left me the towel.’ Glancing at the lanterns already lit she assumed they had lit those as well. ‘Well Sesshoumaru will be gone for about a month, to fetch his rouge vassals...and settle the rebellion of humans running unchecked throughout his lands, and I’m here…alone...’ Kagome sighed and leaned against a rock in the water, the beautiful bathhouse had once been a hot spring out in the weather, and the Lady of the house a long time ago had enclosed it as a bathhouse.
'Well those servants kinda creepy me out, all of them are demons, and most of them kinda just ignored me. It’s been a long day, ah...finally a nice bath, but not nearly as comforting as when I had Sango. Sango...Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and Inuyasha, it’s been four years since I went with Sesshoumaru three since we defeated Naraku. Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga disappeared after Naraku was defeated, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha they were both quite devastated. Also, four years ago is when Inuyasha revived Kikyo with the sacred jewel. It was a few months after that, that Sesshoumaru and I found out I can’t have children by him because of the jewel in my body, even though Kikyo got her soul because of the jewel she now has three children by Inuyasha, one child, and then twins.’
Tears welled up in Kagome’s eyes, ‘I remember what Sesshoumaru said though I can become a full demon …I won't be the same I will be unknown to myself, like when Inuyasha became a demon. After everything, Sesshoumaru said that it was all right that I couldn’t have children, he would do something...but he never did say what. Huh…well anyways Sesshoumaru’s vassals had left the castle all of them, without his permission when his father died, I remember it being very strange when I came to this huge mansion and no one was here but Jaken, and his wife. Rin had been moved to a small house full of human servants; Sesshoumaru would make her a mate to one of his vassals, when she reached sixteen. The house is still so huge and empty, the only rooms I’ve seen is the one Sesshoumaru and I share, the dining room, and the bath other then that all the dust and memories, Sesshoumaru…please come home soon.’Kagome leaned back in the water closing her eyes, picturing Sesshoumaru flying through the sky, with the pack animal Ah-Uh flying dutifully behind nearby.
