My bedchamber suddenly grew colder and I pulled the covers further up my body for warmth. It didn’t register in my mind, that I wasn’t alone. I believed it to be my mate. I forgot that the doors were locked from the inside and that there was no possible way, Sesshoumaru could have entered.
It wasn’t until I heard the evil chuckle that I realized, I was in serious trouble. I bolted upright in the middle of the futon and drew the covers over myself. The sheer nightgown that I’m wearing doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
“I see that you’re still alive, Kagome.” He spoke in a low, dangerous tone. “It’s too bad that I wasn’t the one to mate you. Your power and that child would have been mine.”
I couldn’t help but shiver in fear. The last time we had met didn’t go to well for me. “Pup,” I corrected him. “That is the proper demon term.”
“It doesn’t really matter.” He informed me, staying hidden in the shadows. “I’m going to kill it, anyway.”
My clawed hand immediately covered my stomach. “I won’t allow you to harm my pup, Naraku!” I hissed angrily at him. How dare he threaten the life of my pup?! “I will never be yours! I belong only to Sesshoumaru!”
Naraku chuckled evilly. “Then where is your mate?” He asked me. “Shouldn’t your mate be here with you? Something dangerous might happen to you and he is nowhere to be found.”
“I can take you on my own.” I gritted through my teeth. “I don’t need my mate to take care of scum like you.”
His evil aura flared out across the chamber, testing me and trying to make me submit to his will. In reply, I battled his aura with my own. He suddenly pulled back. “Your powers have grown, I see. It must have increased when Sesshoumaru mated you. Looks like, that demon isn’t so useless, after all.”
Naraku appeared to be in deep thought. I knew he was going to make his move soon and this was my only chance of escaping from him. I threw off the covers, not caring anymore about my state of dress, and made a mad dash for the secret panel. My feet padded loudly across the floor, but I didn’t stop. Stopping would cause Naraku to catch up.
I was about to reach the secret panel, when Naraku stepped in front of me, blocking my only way of escaping. He took a step closer. His red, beady eyes stared right at me. “That was very naughty of you, Kagome.” He spoke, with his eyes traveling down my body.
He grabbed my shoulders, pulling me forward until my nose was a few inches away from his. “Does this bring back memories for you, Kagome? It was in this same position that we shared our first kiss.”
“It was more like forced.” I spat. “I would never willingly kiss you, Naraku. Everything about you disgusts me.”
I hoped that Sesshoumaru senses my distress and is on his way to rescue me. I was wrong before. I do need my mate’s help with Naraku. I can’t defeat him on my own. It’s like Naraku is controlling my body again and I can’t do anything for myself.
Naraku snarled at me and pressed his lips to mine. His lips feel cold and clammy. His kiss is nothing compared to my mate’s kisses. I wanted to cry out in pain, when his teeth pierced my lips, drawing forth blood.
“Hmmm…” He sounded out, as he licked the blood off my lips. “Your blood tastes sweet. I must have more.”
I turned my head, trying to avoid his kiss again. “Please, stop.” I barely managed to get out. Don’t do this. I beg of you.”
He smirked down at me. “I only came here to claim you, Kagome. Once I kill your mate, you will be mine for the taking.”
Dread filled my body and my heart began to hammer within my chest. Naraku took advantage of the situation and brought my wrist up to his lips. He pressed his lips to the tender spot of my wrist.
When he withdrew, I saw an image of his signature spider mark. “What is the meaning of this?!” I shrieked at him. “What did you do to me?!”
Naraku gave a short, sharp laugh. “I marked you as mine. No one will be able to stop me from processing you, now. Eventually, that mark will lead you straight to me.”
I backed away. His hold on me was released. I watched a satisfied smile slowly spread across his lips. “It seems like we have company. Looks like, our little conversation will have to be another time. Farewell.”
Naraku disappeared with the help of his miasma. So, that is how he got into my chamber. Relief swept through my body and I sank down onto the floor, with my knees level to my chest. I wrapped my arms around my legs, rocking back and forth, trying to calm myself down. It appears not to be working out, as well as I thought.
Hastened footsteps could be heard in my mate’s chambers. They stopped in front of the doors and door knobs squeaked, as they were being turned. They tried the door knobs a couple of more times and then there was silence. I thought they had given up, but soon I heard familiar words.
“Wind Scar.”
The doors flew off the hinges and landed near the foot of the futon. Once the dust had
settled down, I peeked up from the floor, to see Inuyasha and my mate standing in the doorway. I lowered my head back down. I didn’t want either of them to see my shame.
“I told you my wind scar would work, now didn’t I?” Inuyasha boasted to his brother. He glanced about the room. “Where’s Kagome? I don’t see her.”
My mate sniffed the air. “Naraku was recently here. His stench is all over this room.”
“I know.” Inuyasha seriously spoke. “Do you think he had harmed Kagome or even
kidnapped her? That would explain the reason of not being able to see her.”
Sesshoumaru shook his head. “No, she is still here. This Sesshoumaru would have felt her leave the castle grounds.”
“It still could be a possibility, Sesshoumaru. We didn’t sense Naraku until it was too late.”
Sesshoumaru didn’t say anything to Inuyasha further. He searched the chamber himself and spotted me sitting down onto the floor, still rocking back and forth. I averted my eyes. I didn’t want to see what kind of expression he had at the sight of me.
“Leave, Inuyasha. This Sesshoumaru wishes to be alone with his mate.” Inuyasha got the hint and left without another word. I knew he was glad that I was safe. There was nothing else he could have done for me, anyway.
My mate came towards me and kneeled down to get a good look at me. “Are you hurt?” He quietly spoke. “That bastard didn’t touch you did he?”
I lifted my head up and I couldn’t help the tears that traveled down my cheeks. My mate was here and I was now safe in his presence. “Naraku, he…he…” I couldn’t get the rest of the words out that I wanted to say to him.
Sesshoumaru sat down next to me on the floor and pulled me into his lap, tucking my head underneath his chin, holding me securely. He began to stroke my hair, running his hand down the length of it. “This Sesshoumaru is sorry that he wasn’t here sooner,” he whispered, kissing the top of my head.
I buried my face in the curve of his neck, breathing in his scent. I needed to tell him what Naraku did. “He marked me, mate.” I finally confessed, holding up my wrist for him to see the spider tattoo. “He said that the mark will lead me to him.”
Sesshoumaru gently took my wrist in his clawed hand and examined it. “He dares to touch what belongs to this Sesshoumaru?! The half-breed will pay for his life.” He declared, with his eyes turning red.
“Sesshoumaru, look at me.” I said, sitting up in his lap. “You can’t go after him and leave me and the pup alone. That is exactly what he wants.”
My mate realized the truth of my words and calmed down. I released a sigh of relief, when his eyes returned to their normal golden color. He used his clawed hand to lift my chin up and force me to look at him.
“You will stay by this Sesshoumaru’s side. This Sesshoumaru will not give that half-breed another chance to take you.” I nodded and went back to resting my head underneath his chin. I could live with that for awhile.
“What will we do about this tattoo?” I quietly asked him. “I don’t want to give a reason for the others to be alarmed. We have enough to worry about.”
My mate continued to stroke my hair and I closed my eyes, enjoying the attention I was receiving. “Your kimono will hide the tattoo, but just in case, you must find some other way to cover it up. Will something in your make-up collection do?” I once again nodded my head.
My mate lifted me up into his arms and carried me into his chamber and laid me down onto the futon. He climbed in next to me and drew the covers over our bodies. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back against his body.
I needed to know something before we fell asleep or I will be kept awake. “Are you mad at me?” I whispered into the darkened room, blowing a feather away from my face.
“This Sesshoumaru needed new windows and pillows, anyway. You did him a favor with your temper.”
“That is not what I meant, Sesshoumaru, and you know it.” I said, turning my body around to face him. “Are you mad at me for going against one of your rules? You told me that I will be sharing this futon with you and yet, I slept in the other chamber and locked the doors.”
My mate’s facial expression didn’t change. “No, this Sesshoumaru is not upset. Naraku could have found another way to confront you. You just gave him an opportunity.” His voice actually warmed. “This Sesshoumaru seeks no punishment. He believes that you have learned your lesson.”
I snuggled closer into my mate’s body. My mind could rest easy now, but I knew that I would have to tell Sesshoumaru of my past, eventually. He will be upset that I have kept my secrets from him this long, but he needs to know where I come from. Maybe he knows I am hiding secrets from him and is waiting for me to admit the truth.
We do need to have a serious talk about our relationship and the issues we have. We can’t keep fighting with one another like we have. I won’t be able to handle the stress and it might cause me to miscarriage the pup. I won’t even think about Asuka, right now. I have been though enough.
I felt my mate lower himself down my body and press his elfish like ear on my stomach. He was listening to the pup’s movement and seeing if the pup is all right. He raised himself up, to level with me once more, and kissed my forehead. “The pup is doing fine.” He told me. He soon fell asleep.
I can’t believe how much I had fallen in love with Sesshoumaru. It seems like yesterday that he had almost killed me, within his father’s final resting place. Too think, that all of that, led to my current situation.
I would hate to be Naraku right now. Naraku had better watch out in the upcoming battle. He had just given my mate and Inuyasha more reason to hate him. He should learn that you never mess with the Western Lands and its family.
I soon fell asleep, exhausted. I know that I will have some explaining to do in the morning. Inuyasha will be demanding answers from me.
