They had barely set toe in the courtyard when Kagome caught sight of Inuyasha and Koga. She felt the powerful grip at her waist tighten and supposed that it was upsetting to Sesshoumaru’s beast. She knew very little about demon heat, other than what Sango had once shared. Unseen in the many layers of silk she let her own hand cover his.
Sesshoumaru blinked as the coolness of her touch pressed against his own but he gave no outward sign of the comfort so small an action gave him. He released her on the steps and spun on his heel, striding into the fortress without a backward glance.
Kagome stared after him, lips tingling, heart racing.
“What the fuck is his problem?” Inuyasha asked crossing to her.
She met his eyes, “I think I frustrate him.” Kagome said truthfully.
“Eh? What’s that supposed to mean?” Inuyasha wanted to know.
Kagome cleared her throat, “I am human after all. I don’t understand all these rules about demon culture.”
Inuyasha keh’d. “Not like you should know it. You ain’t staying here.”
His words were likely meant to comfort but Kagome felt a slow, sick sensation twist in her stomach. “I guess that’s true.”
Inuyasha was closer now, his warmth seeping into the layers of silk. “Kagome?” he asked softly, golden eyes taking in the troubled gaze of his companion.
“Sorry Inuyasha” she said quietly, “I don’t really feel well.”
He blinked and then made a small tch sound; he bent over her and then lifted her against his chest. “Come on moron.”
Koga had been oddly quiet and she dared a look at him. His blue eyes were sad and troubled. “Put her down Inuyasha” he said then.
“What’s that you mangy wolf? She doesn’t feel good. I’m taking her to her room.”
Koga sighed, “She’s his ward right now. Touching her like that will only cause her problems. Put her down. Enoa is coming. She can get her there.”
“Koga….” Kagome whispered.
True enough, Enoa appeared and bowed, “Lord Inuyasha, I would ask that you allow me to take lady Kagome to her rooms.”
He met her eyes, “Kagome?” Her scent was tainted with Sesshoumaru’s but there was something else that he was hard pressed to define. Something that made his mouth taste like ash and his stomach coil.
Inuyasha tightened his hold on her for a moment and when she nodded, he slowly set her on her feet.
Enoa wrapped an arm around her and nodded at the others. “I’m certain she will feel better in the morning.”
He watched as Enoa gently led her away, feeling that widening distance was perhaps something beyond just that moment.
Koga, eyes fixed on her retreating back spoke quietly, “Careful mutt.”
A white ear flickered, “What do you mean? You wanna start something?”
Koga flicked his claws at his sometimes friend, “We could lose her.”
“What do you mean we? You ain’t never had her in the first place!”
“You couldn’t tell?” Koga asked then.
Inuyasha shoved his hands into his sleeves, “Tell what?”
“The scent. Its changing.”
Inuyasha sniffed and turned his nose upwards, “Well duh, she’s been around him too much.”
Koga smacked Inuyasha in the back of the head, “HIS scent assclown.”
Inuyasha blanched, “Not exactly wanting to play mister sniffy with his royal pain in the assness. I could see you doin it though.”
“What?”
Golden eyes raked Koga from head to foot. “Gay ass hair, gay ass skirt… I think you know what I’m saying here.”
Blue eyes narrowed, “I oughta waste you!”
“See ya try it ya fur clad drag queen!”
“You flea bitten little mother…. … drag queen? What’s that?”
Enoa walked slowly. Kagome staring at the polished stone of the floor. “Are you alright?” Enoa finally asked as they came to Kagome’s door.
She pushed it wide and allowed Kagome to enter first. The miko nodded.
“I doubt that” Enoa remarked, “You look like a heavy weight has settled itself on your shoulders. Talk about it?”
Kagome sighed and flopped into a chair, “Enoa I need a hot bath.”
The demoness bowed, “Of course.” She moved with effortless grace around the room gathering Kagome’s bathing items. “Come then.”
Kagome blinked and lifted her brown eyes to the tall female, “Will you come with me? I mean join me in the bath? Is that allowed? I have some questions.”
Enoa smiled softly, “Are you concerned that your friends might interrupt here?”
A nod.
“It is allowed. Come Kagome, we shall sort through your worries.”
Minutes later, settled in the steaming water, Enoa waited for Kagome to begin. The girl was blushing now and seemed at a loss for words.
“Can you…. Can you tell me about demon heat?” she finally asked.
Enoa blinked. Ahh. The crux.
She took up a cloth and began to slowly wash her arms; she kept her voice bored and neutral. “It differs between demons of course. Each as their own symptoms.”
Kagome nodded, expectant eyes fixed on Enoa.
“However there are some things are common for all. Fever. Need. Hunger. Difficulty controlling ourselves. Our beasts. Most demons suffer it once every hundred years. Taiyoukai such as Sesshoumaru can delay it…. But only for so long.”
“Delay it? How long?” Kagome asked.
Enoa considered the question. How much would Sesshoumaru want this girl to know? But then, she was at greatest risk from him. She deserved to know.
“The last time heat came upon him was seven hundred years ago.”
Kagome nearly fell over, “Seven… hundred?!”
Enoa nodded, “He nearly lost himself” she murmured, her vibrant eyes on the water before her. “He nearly lost himself and his life Kagome.”
Kagome swallowed.
“You must help him.” Enoa said boldly, meeting the dark eyes of the miko.
“I don’t know…. What to do…” Kagome admitted.
“What did you do tonight?” Enoa asked.
Kagome flushed scarlet,”Nothing really. He knocked me down and I just went limp.”
Enoa nodded, “Submission is the safest path. Was there nothing else?”
Kagome mumbled and Enoa blinked, “If you can speak up please.”
“He kissed me.”
Enoa blinked. “Is that all?”
Kagome frowned up at her, “Isn’t that enough?”
Enoa eyed her, “Do you think it is?”
“I don’t know.”
“Kagome, when his beast yearns, he may need more than a mere kiss from you.”
“I’ve never done anything like that though!”
Enoa nodded, “I know. I am sorry. Perhaps if we avoid issues that could make his beast react we can avoid more stressful situations for you?”
Kagome thought that sounded quite logical and said so.
Enoa climbed from the water, toweling herself dry. “His scent on you would comfort his beast to some extent. You should go to him and explain your thinking.”
Kagome nodded, not sure what else she could do at this point anyway. So she dried and dressed and made her way to the tall double doors that hid his inner sanctum.
She knocked lightly, hesitantly.
“Come Miko” he commanded from within.
Slowly she pushed the door open just enough to slip inside.
Sesshoumaru stood at the tall window, staring out over moonlit forest. “Why have you come?”
Kagome stared at her slippers feeling like an idiot. She had planned it all so nicely in her head, she would stride in, speak with confidence and they would both feel better about all of this.
However, now she felt like a scared kid with rocks in her mouth.
He glanced over his shoulder at her and spoke. “For my lack of control, this Sesshoumaru will apologize.”
She blinked owlishly.
‘Why do you do that?” she asked.
“What?”
“Refer to yourself in third person. I mean it’s a little strange. Can you imagine if I was to do it?” she blurted out.
One silver brow arched into the think fringe of bangs. “You?”
She nodded, stepping closer, “Kagome doesn’t think you should apologize. You couldn’t help it right? Kagome understands that.”
Golden eyes blinked at her, “You sound ridiculous.” His tone lacked the shades of winter he was so known for however.
“I do do I?” she demanded, hands on hips.
Sesshoumaru leaned closer to her, “You are not nearly so great as to speak thus.”
She sputtered with female indignation and Sesshoumaru was vastly amused though he’d not be showing it. “On the other hand, this Sesshoumaru is beyond mere common pronouns.”
Kagome gaped, “How do you even know what a pronoun is?”
He gestured towards his table, there, neatly piled were several textbooks that she had lost early on in her adventures. “You had them?”
“You do seem incapable of managing your possessions.” He admitted, “I had thought they might provide some insight as to what and who you are.”
She blushed, “You were curious about me?”
He nodded, “Of course. Anything that I am unable to kill intrigues me.”
“Eh? That’s it? The only reason?”
“What other would there be?”
“Of all the things I woman wants to hear, that most certainly is not one of them.” She griped.
“You wish to hear things from me Miko?” he all but purred across the dim distance.
That voice, Kagome decided, was dangerous. She felt her stomach flip in that non-queasy way and suddenly felt hot and breathless.
She was screwed!
Kagome’s spine stiffened to the snapping point. “Yes!” she panted, “Like ..erm..good night, see you tomorrow!” She dashed from the room on the swiftest feet ever to grace a human he was certain.
He caught the warm scent of her interest and chuckled, “Coward.”
