In the Warring States Era - Part 4
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* Before dawn the next morning ~
Jaken scratched on the door and entered. "Sesshoumaru-sama, I have brought you . . ." his voice trailed off in confusion, as he looked around the room, still dim in the predawn light. Sesshoumaru was not seated at the table reviewing maps and message scrolls from his field commanders, as was his usual practice this time of morning. Jaken retreated in shock; his master was still abed curled around one of the human females. The smell of their coupling lingered heavily in the room. He sniffed once more and sneezed, it was the miko, the traces of her power intertwined with his master's youki. He hesitated in dazed confusion, his master had never been one to fill the women's quarters with concubines and only rarely visited the youkai teahouses.
Sesshoumaru growled sleepily, and drew the covers up over them both. "Jaken, get out! Leave the scrolls by the door. And if you wake my mate, I need not explain the consequences," Sesshoumaru finished and closed his eyes to savor just a few more minutes of sleep.
After perhaps ten more minutes, the taiyoukai arose, retrieved his robe from the floor, and padded down the hall to the bathing chambers. Instructing his servants to see that he was not disturbed, he closed his eyes and sank gratefully into the steaming tub. Sesshoumaru grinned mischievously, if even he was feeling a bit stiff, he could only imagine how the girl would be feeling when she finally awakened. Like a hard days ride on campaign after a long absence from the saddle.
At last he turned his thoughts to the subject that he had been avoiding. With a slip of the tongue, while half-asleep, he had claimed Kagome as his mate in front of a witness. The way Jaken babbled, the news would be all over the castle before full dawn. All his years of avoiding entangling liaisons at court, evading offers of alliances with families of marriageable daughters, or even random encounters with youkai females in heat while out hunting, were overturned by a thoughtless utterance.
Sesshoumaru examined the concept thoughtfully; he was neither angry nor upset, but strangely content. Even the fact that she was human did not seem important any longer, except for the disparity in their lifespans. He shuddered at that chilling presentiment of loss. Somehow, as easily as she had slipped into his room, she had slipped into his heart. He could have tossed her out in anger and disgust. He had wanted her to stay; still wanted her to remain with him. He could still feel the touch of her skin, even though she was nowhere nearby. Without a formal ceremony, not even the marking with tooth and claw of a frenzied lustful coupling with a female in heat, it was a true mating, none the less.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
Stuck on you
I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Guess I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed
~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
The youkai council of lords had been pressuring him for some time to take a mate and produce an heir or formally mark his half-brother as his successor. Though no longer deadly enemies, he had been reluctant to take that step. Inuyasha was no doubt courageous and a good fighter, but also lacking in control, rash, and impulsive. He was untrained in statecraft and management of the lands and their populace. Sesshoumaru also seriously doubted that he had any common sense or much intelligence. The council should be placated, though perhaps not pleased that he had chosen a human. Based up on the number of times they had coupled, and he could not recall exactly how many times he had released his seed within her, Kagome could already be breeding. Sesshoumaru grimaced briefly; their pups would most likely be hanyou. But no matter, the miko was both beautiful and powerful and certainly his get would be no less than perfect. Even his idiot hanyou half-brother was strong and not ill favored.
Kagome finally stirred at the sound of the door closing as Sesshoumaru returned. She opened her eyes to observe the taiyoukai twisting and turning, peering at his back reflected in a brightly burnished shield hung on the wall. "Good morning, My Lady," he greeted her. He picked up his hairbrush and began smoothing the tangles in his long white mane. Commenting wryly, "Are you sure your lineage doesn't include neko youkai? My back resembles a cat's scratching post."
"Um, actually, my grandfather's cousin had cat eyes, he said one time, I think," Kagome murmured. Rising slowly and moving with obvious stiffness, Kagome joined the taiyoukai where he stood preening. She blushed prettily at the amount of damage she had inflicted and looked down at her own bruised and tooth marked skin. She hadn't even noticed when they had occurred. Sesshoumaru shrugged the robe over his back and turned to face Kagome. Aside from the robe, he was clad only in a short fundoshi. Kagome blushed again at the turn of her thoughts.
Sesshoumaru grinned rakishly and pulled her into a tight embrace. "That will have to wait for another time. Your movements indicate that you must be in some pain. A long soak in the hot tub should help ease the sore muscles. I believe that I hear your friend in the next room planning to go bathe. You should go with her."
Kagome glanced across the room at the pile of tatters that had been her kimono. "I can't exactly run around the castle like this," she commented sarcastically.
Sesshoumaru reached over and snagged his kariginu off the wall hook. Garbed in his colors, covered in his scent, none would dare disturb her. And her scent would linger on his robe as a remembrance after her party left later that day to seek out Naraku. She should remain at his side. He chafed at the duties that called them both elsewhere.
With one thumb, Sesshoumaru combed aside the bangs covering her forehead. Already, the faint outline of a jade green crescent moon, the complement of his own, was appearing on her brow. He brushed his lips lightly across her forehead, cheeks, and lips. "There are things we need to discuss when you return from your bath, before you leave today."
Kagome gathered her bath things from the floor and turned to leave. Sesshoumaru accompanied her to the door, one arm draped possessively across her shoulders. Kagome saw Sango halfway down the hall and called out, "Sango, wait. I'll go with you."
Sango turned to see her friend exiting Lord Sesshoumaru's quarters, wearing his white and red patterned kariginu. An arm snaked out and pulled her roughly back against the tall youkai's half-clad form. He kissed her possessively. Kagome melded against him, reaching her arms up around his neck. She appeared to be in no hurry to leave his embrace. Sango shook her head in disbelief, remembering the screams of pain from the same chambers in the night.
Kagome limped hurriedly down the hall to where Sango waited. Pausing until the taiyoukai's door had closed, Sango regarded her friend. "Are you all right? Did he hurt you in any way? I heard a woman's screams from his rooms last night. If he has harmed you . . . " she questioned intently.
Kagome blushed and dropped her gaze to the floor. "Sesshoumaru didn't hurt me," she answered.
Sango watched Kagome as they traveled the rest of the hall to the bathing chambers. "You're limping," she commented. Further conversation was interrupted as the same pair of neko youkai who had waited upon them the previous evening, emerged from the bath chamber and bowed.
"My Lady, we have prepared the large bath for you and Sango-san. There are soaps and hair treatments for your choosing in the washing area and towels on the bench behind. We can help you bathe or withdraw until you call, as you prefer."
Although puzzled by their deference, Kagome merely answered, "Thank you, but we will be fine alone."
The girls silently soaped and rinsed their bodies and hair. Sango's eyes widened in surprise as she glimpsed Kagome's ravaged body. Sango dropped gratefully into the hot tub. Kagome gingerly followed, sighing as the steaming water soothed her sore thigh and groin muscles. "What?" she asked, irritated at Sango's indecipherable expression.
Sango commented, "You look like a puppy's chew toy. You're covered with bruises and bite marks."
"I'm only sore because of, well, you know," Kagome added defensively.
Sango peered at her friend's face intently to see if she was answering truthfully. "The screams I heard were not from pillowing, " she added skeptically.
Kagome blushed again, "I was kind of startled in the dark and fell on, um, uh, his sword. It was pretty bad and bled a lot. He healed me with Tenseiga."
Sango could tell there was more to the story, but Kagome seemed unwilling to say anything else. "How did you end up with Sesshoumaru-sama last night?" she asked curiously.
"I was looking for your room and went into his by mistake," Kagome answered.
"And?" Sango prompted.
Kagome's face flushed the reddest shade Sango had ever seen it, "I was confused, drunk I guess. He was lying there asleep, so cute, almost sweet looking... and naked. You've seen how pretty his face is, the rest is even more..." she trailed off staring at nothing with an unfocused gaze and silly grin. Sango shook her shoulder. "I just couldn't help it; I had to touch him. I sort of made a move on him," Kagome muttered.
Sango regarded her companion in amazement; the girl from the future was truly insane. "So you just decided to try to seduce Lord 'I hate humans', the most deadly and feared youkai lord in the land. Kagome, you are bravest fool I have ever known," Sango shook her head.
Kagome retorted, "I think it was more his idea. Sesshoumaru told me that he would make love to me."
Kagome dove under the surface of the hot pool and swam to the other side to escape further questions. Rocketing to the surface, Kagome gasped to catch her breath, her hair slicked back from her face and cascading down her back. Sango's eyes narrowed as she stared at the jade crescent moon now clearly visible on Kagome's forehead. Sango ceased her questions, some conclusions forming in her mind. The girls continued to soak until their skin was shriveled and water logged. Sango found combs and a mirror on the shelf next to the towels. Retrieving these items as well, the girls dried off and toweled their hair. Sango neutrally asked Kagome, "Do you have any idea what you have done?"
Busy drying her hair, Kagome did not see Sango's serious expression. She quipped, "Lost my virginity."
Sango's sighed and rolled her eyes. Turning to face Sango, Kagome caught her expression. "What?" she questioned. Her eyes lit mischievously and she added, "Oh yeah, I fucked Lord Fluffy." It was Sango's turn to blush.
Sango handed Kagome the mirror and said, "Take a look at your face."
"What the hell is that?" she uttered in surprise as she stared at her reflection.
Sango asked, "Did you notice that the servant girls addressed you as 'My Lady'. I believe that they now consider you to be Lord Sesshoumaru's mate."
"Oh shit. He called me the same thing himself this morning." Kagome was silent during the walk back down the corridor to Sesshoumaru's chambers.
