Chapter 27

When Sesshomaru walked into the common room there was a lot of noise and exited talk going on.  After giving Kagome a hug he sent one of the servants for tea and a snack for everyone then had all of them sit down at the table and had them calmly tell him what was going on.

Once the maid left and everyone was served the demon lord looked at the hentai houshi.  “Can you break such a spell or at least cast a barrier that will reveal him once he steps through it?”

Nodding, Miroku said, confidently, “Yes.  Now that I know what he’s using I can do both.”

“Can I make a suggestion?”  Kagura asked quietly.

“Of course.”  Sesshomaru said with a nod, looking at her.

Not sure about her place in things yet, the wind witch wasn’t sure how much anyone would listen to her or how serious her suggestion would be taken but she pressed on.  “First, if the monk knows the spell he should make one for everyone, or at the very least, for Kagome.  Not only would it protect her but it makes a blind spot for Naraku.  Yeah, he’s working on a way around it but for now it would make Kanna’s mirror useless.  That’s mostly what he uses to keep an eye on things.

“Next, instead of breaking the spell on the necklace, is there a way to replace it with the kind he used to have on?  The subjugation one? That way the half-breed doesn’t know he’s been figured out and Kagome has a way to protect herself from him.”

There was dead silence in the room as everyone just looked at her.  It was Kouga that finally broke the silence.  “Those are some damn good suggestions Kagura!”

“Indeed they are.”  Sesshomaru said with a nod.  He was becoming more pleased with his decision to deal with the wind witch.  Looking at the monk, he asked, “Can you make the necklaces and switch the beads without the hanyou knowing?”

“I can make the necklaces for all of us without a problem once I find the right instructions for it.  The same with the subjugation beads.  Kaede should have both.  I would need to see her to get them.  Since she’s done the beads on Inuyasha before she should be able to easily walk me through how it’s done.”  He said with a nod.

Nodding, Sesshomaru told him, “That’s fine. I’ll send you and Kouga into Edo on Ah-Un here in a while.  That way I can be sure you’ll be safe on your journey.  My guards there will ensure you’re safe while you’re there.”  He told him.  “Can you also see if you can find something to make up sutras or the like to post around the fortress?”

“I will see what I can find.”  Miroku said with a nod.

“Anything else?”  The taiyoukai asked looking around.  When everyone shook their heads he nodded.  “Kouga and Miroku, come with me and I’ll get you on your way.”   Looking at Kagome, he said, “While I do that why don’t you get changed then we’ll take that walk I promised you.”  When she nodded, he stood up and had the ookami and monk follow him. 

…ks…ks…ks…ks…

With her arm looped through his, the miko and the demon lord walked through the far end of the private gardens.  He wanted to make sure that no one overheard what they were going to talk about so he stayed as far away from the rooms and the end nearest the normal gardens.

Finding a bench, he sat down with her then slipped an arm around her waist.  Not sure where to start or even what he wanted to say to her, he was quiet for several minutes.

A bit nervous, Kagome leaned against him and shut her eyes.  Despite Kagura and Sango’s assurances earlier, she was still second guessing what she had done.

“You know Kagome, I have felt for some time now that I know you well but you still manage to keep surprising me.”  He finally said, looking at her.

“Is this a good or a bad thing?”  She asked, looking at him.

“I feel it’s a good thing.  Not only does it keep me on my toes but it’s a guarantee that it’ll keep things between us interesting.”  He told her with a smirk.

Grinning, she didn’t say anything. 

Pulling her a bit closer to him, he rested his head against hers.  “You mean a great deal to me Kagome, more than I can ever tell you.”  He told her quietly.  “And I care for you more than I have ever for any other being.”  He then stopped and wasn’t sure what he wanted to say next. 

Quietly, she waited for him to go on but already what he had said had set off a surge of tingling warmth in her that felt wonderful and made her heart race.

Looking at her, he went on, really not sure what he was going to say.  “But I do know this… that I can no longer envision my life without you and that when I do take you as my mate it will be because I want to, not as an obligation of any kind.”  Leaning over, he kissed her on the forehead.  “When you told me you loved me it was the single most pleasurable feeling in my life.”  He told her quietly.

“I do love you.”  She said quietly.

“I do not doubt that for a second.”  He replied.  He was quiet for several more minutes after that, frustrated.  He wanted to define for her what he felt for her so she knew but he himself wasn’t sure what that was and really didn’t know how to go about finding out.  “I wish I could tell you exactly how I feel about you but I don’t have a definition for it.”

“I understand Sesshomaru.”  She told him.

Seeing the first pink of the sunset on the horizon, he told her, “Let’s go inside before it gets dark.”  Though he really did have things to do and take care of he decided they could wait until the following day.  He was going to spend the rest of the night with her.  The   only interruption he was going to brook was the message that the wolf demon and monk had returned.

…ks…ks…ks…ks…

After their walk they joined Kagura, Sango, Ginta, Hakkaku and the kids for supper.  After spending a bit to time with them they then retired to his chambers for the rest of the night. 

Sprawled out on his bed, they were playing one of the many travel-sized games she kept in her pack, talking about this and that, nothing deep or intense.  Though he did pick her brain for her impressions of Kagura up until that point, something she saw as favorable.  Between what she felt about the kazi and what he was seeing, coupled with the help she had been up to that point he was positive that Kagura was going to be a useful addition to the pack.  He was also fairly certain that he was going to have no trepidation at all about returning her fan when they left. 

They played for a few hours, just talking about various subjects while they did, until Kouga and Miroku returned.  He left her alone for a bit so that he could talk to the houshi about what he had been able to find out.

Though he didn’t get a detailed report on the subject, that could wait until the following morning at breakfast, he got a brief rundown.  Yes, Kaede had scrolls on how to create the necklaces, something he would start on the following day.  She also had a way to switch the necklaces without him knowing and had sent along those instructions as well.  Along with that he had, with her help, been able to create some sutra’s to post at the fortress that would not only keep the wearer of necklace out but raise an alarm if they tried to get in.

Most please, he sent the houshi off with the captain of his guards to post the sutras then told him and the ookami to get some rest.  By the time he stepped back into his room he was feeling better and more confident about his and the packs ability to protect the little priestess on the upcoming spider hunt.

When he returned, Kagome was sprawled on his bed, in her night clothes, reading a book.  Seeing him come in, she marked her place and put it on the bedside table.  “Everything OK?”

“Just fine.”  He told her with a nod then gave her a brief rundown of what the houshi had told him.  By the time he was finished talking she looked relieved.

After a bit of discussion on the topic she sent him to get changed into his sleep pants.

Ten minutes later he was convinced he was in heaven!  Sprawled out on his stomach on the bed, head resting on his folded arms, she was straddling his back, rubbing it. Those small, nimble fingers of hers felt utterly fantastic as they worked on the tense muscles of his back.  Unable to stop himself, he moaned softly as she worked at the hard knots in the small of his back.  His beast had melted into a puddle, tongue sticking out, tail quivering at the feeling.

“That feels good, does it?”  She asked giggling.

“Magnificent!”  He groaned out.

Once she finished, she slid off him and sat on the bed.  “If you turn over I’ll do your arms and chest too.”  She offered.

“I believe I’ll let you do that.”  He said in a bit of a muffled voice.  Though he felt as though he were a big pile of melted goo on the bed, he flopped over and sat up, back propped against the headboard as she indicated.

Straddling his legs, she took his right arm then began to work on it, starting at the wrist and moving upwards.

Sighing contentedly, he leaned his back against the headboard fully and shut his eyes, reveling in the feelings her hands were producing.  He really hadn’t realized how tense he was until he felt the relaxed state of his muscles were in after she was done.  By the time she had finished with both his arms and working on his shoulders he felt like every bit of tension that had accumulated over the last few days was gone, having drained out of him.  He was feeling more relaxed than he had in years.  But that started to change when she began to work on his chest.

Honestly, he wasn’t sure what caused the reaction’ her hands on his chest or the fact that she was straddling his crotch, brushing against it as she moved back and forth slightly.  Whatever it was, he felt himself becoming aroused.  The more she touched him, the more aroused he became.  By the time her hands had worked their way down to his chiseled abs he was fully erect and throbbing madly.  He also knew she felt it because she had brushed against it several times.  Each time she did she would blush and shake a bit.  When that would happen he could sense a bit of nervousness from her but she didn’t stop.

By the time she finished he wanted her more than he had ever wanted anyone in his entire life.  Yes, part of it was pure lustful desire but the other part was just what he felt for her.  Those two things combined created something in him that burned so brightly that it was almost blinding in its intensity.  Yes, his beast was all but salivating and was lobbying for him to do something but he was able to keep a tight leash on it.  He didn’t want to do anything that would frighten her.  To go about this he was going to have to take it slowly and tread lightly.

When she reached the waistband of his sleep pants she stopped.  Backing up a bit, she sat down on the tops of his thighs, away from the obvious bulge, and looked at him, a hint of a pink blush on her cheeks.  “Feel better?”  She asked quietly.

Reaching out, he ran his claws lightly through her hair, looking into her eyes.  “That felt magnificent.  You have some very skilled hands Kagome.”  He told her, voice a touch thicker and huskier than it normally was.

“I’m glad you liked it.”  She told him with a smile.  Then she started to move off of him.

Slipping an arm around her waist, he held her where she was then leaned forward and kissed her.  With their mouths locked together, he pulled her to his bare chest and held her there then shifted around a bit until he was sitting cross-legged.  Breaking of the kiss, he sat her down on them and pulled her closer to his chest.  In this position she would be forced to rub against his erection.  Wrapping both arms around her, he began to kiss and nibble along her jaw line. 

Whimpering softly, she shut her eyes and let her head drop back.  Wrapping her arms around his neck, she held onto him, shivering.  What he was doing seemed to set her body on fire from the inside.  Not only did her blood seemly turn into molten flames a heavy, swirling head seemed to start between her legs that was pulsing and throbbing, making her shiver uncontrollably. 

Smelling her growing arousal, Sesshomaru growled softly.  That tantalizing scent made his already hard cock throb more heavily.  When her head dropped back, he began to kiss down her neck, dragging his fangs lightly across her smooth skin.  Then, when he reached the place where her neck met her shoulder, he paused to suck on her pulse point and nip at it gently with his fangs.  That action elicited a loud whimpering moan from her and she shook violently.  Her arousal level seemed to spike and the smell of thickened and became more intense.  Licking the spot, he asked, voice a bit muffled, “Do you like that Kagome?”

“Yes!”  She managed to gasp out, clinging tightly to him.  Instinctively, she was trying to shut her thighs and rub them together to alleviate the intense, throbbing heat that was growing between her legs. 

Attaching his mouth to that spot once more, he sucked on it a bit roughly, leaving a red mark in his wake before once more going back to nibbling on it, though a bit more roughly than he had before.  While doing that one of his hand slipped around her side and cupped her breast through the thin material of her shirt, his calloused thumb rubbing softly across the erect nipple.

Feeling him touch her there she tensed up instinctively and fought the urge to struggle and pull away.

Sensing her rising anxiety, he mumbled into her neck, “Trust me.”  Then he went back to what he was doing.

Though she was anxious and was waiting for the pain to begin, she tried to keep it under control and hold the panic at bay.  Up to this point he had gone out of his way to avoid causing her pain of any kind so she would give him the benefit of the doubt.

Pulling his mouth away, he moved to the same spot on the other side of her neck and began to lavish attention on it.  When he did that his hand switched to the other breast so he could give the same kind of attention to it as well.  Though he could still sense her apprehension and unease, he kept on doing what he was rather than stop to reassure her.  He was going to let his actions speak for him instead.

Gasping, eyes wide, all she could really do was shiver.  But somewhere in her brain it registered that what he was doing didn’t hurt like it had when Inuyasha had done it.  In fact, it really felt good!  Moaning softly as he sucked a bit harder on that place that felt so good she entwined her fingers in his hair and just held on, shaking. 

Sensing her anxiety level dropping, he decided to move on to the next step.  Pulling away from her neck, he kissed her passionately, letting his tongue slip into her mouth.  But he didn’t linger there like he normally would.  Wrapping his arms around her, he broke off the kiss then leaned her back a bit.  Lowering his head, he took one of her nipples, through the fabric of her shirt, into his mouth and sucked on it gently, teasing it with his tongue while he did.

Wailing softly, she shook harder.  If his fingers had felt good this was absolutely magnificent!  She could feel his teeth nip softly on the swollen but rather than hurt it just seemed to add to the pleasure of it.  Digging her nails into his scalp, she moaned his name softly.  That swirling head and throbbing between her legs seemed to be building, demanding a release of some kind.  Her limbs felt heavy and tingling but the rest of her body seemed to be engulfed by an internal inferno that made her tingle and throb.

Pulling his mouth off, he gave the hard nub one last lick then moved his mouth over to it’s twin.  Pulling one hand off her back, he reached down between their legs.  First thing he did was stroke his throbbing member through his pants to relive some of the pressure that was building.  He would get relief soon he promised himself.  Then he slid his hand between her spread legs.  Slowly and gently, he slid the tip of one finger up and down the fabric of sleep pants to find what he wanted.  When he found the slight budge of her sex he ran the pad of his finger up and down her slit, feeling some of it’s moisture wetting the fabric slightly.  With a practiced skill, he found her slick little bud and began to rub it in slow circles. 

Unable to stop herself, Kagome let out a loud cry and her hips began thrust a bit, pressing herself against his finger.  Nothing she had ever experienced in her life had felt this good!  “Please Sesshomaru!”  She gasped out though she really wasn’t all that sure what she was asking for.

Pulling his mouth away from her nipple he straightened up and watched her beautiful face.  The look of pure, unadulterated pleasure there was the single most arousing thing he had ever seen on a female’s face, ever.  From the smell of her arousal and her body language he knew her peak wasn’t long in coming so he stopped. 

Before she could do more than open her eyes and form the words to protest, his mouth locked with her again and she felt her clothes being stripped from her body.

Quickly, he shifted them around until they were both laying on their sides, facing each other, on the bed then he divested himself of his own pants.  Putting a hand on the back of her head, he drew her into a searing kiss while he lifted her leg and propped it over his hip.  Bending his knee, he lifted his leg slightly and put his foot flat on the bed,  Taking her hand, he led it downwards and had her grab hold of his throbbing flesh.  Breaking off the kiss, the looked down into her upturned face.  Putting his hand over hers, he moved them both up and down the way he favored.  When she nodded, understanding what he wanted her to do, he removed his hand and slipped it between her legs once more.  Finding her swollen, slick pearl once more, he resumed rubbing it.  Leaning over, he captured her mouth again in a frenzied kiss, letting his tongue slip into it and dance with hers.

Moaning into his mouth, she ground herself down onto his finger, wanting to relive the heated throb that was building to an almost unbearable level.  Moving her hand faster on his hard flesh, she gripped it firmly, feeling it throb and pulse in her hand.

Suddenly, that deep throb in her belly seemed to explode, shooting heavy jolts of pure pleasure throughout her body.  Pulling away from the kiss, her head dropped back and she let out a quavering wail as the most pleasurable feeling she had ever experienced engulfed her body, making it quake and shiver uncontrollably. 

Watching her reaction as her orgasm seized hold of her, he panted heavily through clenched teeth as he felt is own coming on quickly.  Just as hers ended he felt his balls draw up and the deep, throbbing knot in his abdomen explode.  Letting out something that was a combination between a snarling yell and a dog-like how, he came.

…ks…ks…ks…ks…

Lying there afterwards, he held her close as they tried to catch their breath.  He was thankful that both their chambers were soundproofed because he was sure that the sound he had let out would have been heard by the whole fortress.

Eyes shut, Kagome was pressed tightly to him, panting heavily.  First thing that came to her mind was that she had never felt anything so good in her entire life.  But on the heels of that was the realization that it hadn’t hurt at all.  When Inuyasha had done similar things it had really hurt and she had even bled a few times.  But this time that didn’t happen.

When he caught his breath he looked down at her.  She must have felt his gaze because she looked up at him a bit shyly, a bit of a blush staining her cheeks.  Caressing her cheek with the pad of his thumb he leaned down and kissed her tenderly on the forehead.  He wasn’t going to ask her if she enjoyed it because the answer was obvious to him from her reaction.  Instead he was going to focus on something else.  Both of them were all sweaty and she was covered with his ‘enthusiasm’ from the act.  The magnitude of his orgasm had been such that there was even some of it in her hair.  A bath for both of them was in order.  Giving her another kiss on the forehead, he told her, “Stay here.  I’ll go retrieve your bathing supplies then we’ll get cleaned up.”

“Yeah, good idea since you kinda coated me a bit!”  She joked nervously. 

“That’s because you’re so desirable.”  He told her with a bit of a lusty growl in his voice.  With a pat on her back, he slid off the bed and headed towards her door.

Unable to help herself, Kagome watched his naked form until it disappeared into her room.  Of course she was blushing a bit while she did so but she couldn’t help but admire just how gorgeous and well built he was.  When she came back in she did avert her eyes, sure if she didn’t she would forget how to speak and breathe.

He noticed that and smirked a bit but didn’t say anything.  Walking over to he bed, he scooped her up and carried her into his private hot springs.  

…ks…ks…ks…ks…

Five minutes later she was in his private oasis of hot, bubbling water, sitting on his lap-facing him, with him gently washing her.  His touch felt wonderful, making her sigh contentedly.

After he was done, she washed him, eliciting that contented rumble in his chest she liked so well.  When she finished she was sitting straddling his thighs, facing him.  Leaning forward, she rested against his chest, her head on his shoulder, arms wrapped around his waist.  “I love you.”  She told him softly, eyes sliding shut.

Wrapping his arms around her, he kissed her on the temple.  “My Kagome.”  He said softly, stroking the back of her wet hair, resting his cheek on the top of her head.

Honestly, when she said those simple words it felt absolutely wonderful but it also was very frustrating as well because he really wanted to tell her what he felt for her but wasn’t able to do so nor could he think of a way to show her just how he felt.  His beast picked that moment to chime in.  It told him there was a way to let her know how he felt then flashed him an image of a courting mark. 

Eyes widening, he tensed up a bit then his heartbeat picked up speed because of his excitement.  Courting marks were mostly a relic of the past in upper level youkai society because most matings were now arranged.  In fact it had been years since he had even heard them mentioned.  They were similar to a mating bond in that they would create a connection, though not nearly as strong as the mating mark; only they were temporary, only lasting about six months.  At that time it could either be renewed, if they weren’t mated, or be left to fade out.  That part he wasn’t concerned about, he was focused on the connection it would create.  No, it wasn’t the strongest connection the world but it would be enough that she would be able to tell what he felt for her.

Trying to remain calm, he pulled away from her slight and cupped her cheeks in his palms.  When those big eyes of hers looked up into his he started talking.  “Kagome, I would like your permission to put a courting mark on you.”  When he saw the confused look on her face he launched into an explanation of what it was. 

When he finished, she was a bit confused.  “Why?  I mean everyone knows that you’re intending to take me as a mate.  Why the mark then?”

“I care not about that part. The reason I want to do it for is because it’s the only way I can think of to let you know just what I feel for and about you.  I have no way to sufficiently articulate what it is but want you to know.  This is the only way I can think of to impart it to you.”  He told her gently.

Understanding, she smiled then nodded.  “Alright, go for it.”

Nodding, he kissed her tenderly.  Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her flush to his chest.  Licking a spot on the opposite shoulder that that whelps mark was on, he said, “This will hurt Kagome.”  When he felt her nod he elongated his fangs and sank them into her shoulder midway between her neck and arm.

Clutching onto him, she hissed at the pain his sharp fangs caused as they sank into her flesh.  But she thought that it didn’t hurt nearly as much as when Inuyasha had done it because the taiyoukai’s fangs felt as though they were far sharper.  Then, as she was hit fully with his emotions as the bond formed, it felt as though she had been hit squarely between her eyes with a sledgehammer.  Eyes widening, they began to fill with tears as what he felt for her became known.  He felt the same way about her that she did about him.  He loved her!  Throwing her arms around his neck, he buried her head in his shoulder and began to cry.  “You love me!”  She managed to hitch out.

Eyes shut, he held her close and felt all the input coming from the newly created bond.  When it got to what she felt for him it felt as though his heart had stopped. For the first time he was able to define what his feelings for her were because it was the same thing she felt for him; he loved her…  When he heard what she said, he kissed her on the temple and replied, “Yes Kagome, I love you.”  Being able to define what he felt was a powerful moment to him, more so than anything he could remember in his life.

Clinging to him, she sobbed softly from both joy and relief.  “You will never hurt me.”  She whispered.  Finally she fully believed that.  Imparted through that newly created link to him was his fierce desire to protect her and the fact that no matter what he would never do anything to hurt her, physically or emotionally.

“Never my Kagome, never.”  He told her softly, eyes still shut.

Pulling away, tears of pure happiness still running down her face, she looked at him, smiling.  Then she leaned forward and kissed him.

…ks…ks…ks…ks…

They stayed in the hot, bubbling water for a long time until he could sense her starting to fall asleep.  Gently, he held her to his chest then stood up.  Carrying her over to a bench, he sat her down on it then grabbed a towel and dried her off.  After quickly drying himself he picked her back up and carried her into the bedroom and slid her, still naked, between the sheets.  Once he extinguished all the lights and lit the fireplace, he slid into bed with her.  Pulling her to his chest, he held her lose, head resting against hers.

He laid like that, awake, until he sensed she had finally fallen asleep.  Only then did he allow himself to start to drift away.  Something very much like a smile on his face, he fell asleep feeling happy and as though all was right in the world.  He loved her, he knew that now, and she loved him.  He knew that beyond a shadow of a doubt.  That really was all that mattered.  Inuyasha, Naraku, all that kind of stuff would be worked out eventually.  They would find a way to ensure that, of that he was certain.  But if Inuyasha and Naraku thought that he had been vicious about Kagome’s protection they hadn’t seen anything yet!  She was the only onna he had ever loved and by Kami he wouldn’t allow any being to ever harm her again if he could at all help it!

“I love you Kagome.”  He said quietly in an uneven voice as sleep finally claimed him.

In her sleep she heard him and gave him a bit of a squeeze and the corners of her mouth turned up a bit.
