Chapter 12: Marking Territory

Kagome allowed the demon lord to tote her down the hall towards her chambers. A least, she thought he’s taking her to her chambers. He could be…or perhaps he wasn’t. She didn’t know. It was hard to tell in this place. Everything in the palace looked the friggin’ same. No matter what corner you turn she was walking back into the same hall. It was like she was in some Asian themed twilight zone. Only thing that changed were the demons ghosting down the hall. And that’s exactly what they did. They ghosted; floated even. Their feet were silent as ninjas as they glide with inhuman speed in every which way to do Kami only knows.

She shouldn’t have done it to herself, with her nerves frazzled as they were, but she could help it. Images of human hating servants ‘ghosting’ into her room and slitting her throat in her sleep did wonders for her over imaginative mind. Made it nice and cryptic, it did.

“You seem troubled mate.”

Kagome glared up at the demon lord who held her arm hostage. She couldn’t wait until he gets better. Or could she? She’d be lying if she said that she didn’t enjoy being called his mate, especially by him. Ever so slowly she could feel her attraction growing stronger and stronger to the gorgeous demon lord. Perhaps, if he called her his mate under different circumstances; fever and delusion free with a little love involved? “Are we heading to my room?”

“No. We left our room.” He corrected to her annoyance.

“I’m your healer Lord Sesshoumaru and it’s not proper to house your healer in your personal living quarters.”

“You are indeed correct, it isn’t proper. But you aren’t my healer. You are my future mate who so happens to posses the ability to heal my ailments therefore it wouldn’t be improper for you to take up residence within my chamber. ”

She didn’t bother arguing with him because she knew he would only come up with another ridiculously plausible argument. “Then where are we going…” A small body suddenly collided into her legs nearly knocking them from beneath her. She looked down into the smiling face of Rin whose hair was a ruffled mass of brown locks all over her head. “Well good evening to you little human bulldozer.”

“You say the weirdest thing big sister.” The girl giggled as she shook her head. Kagome ruffled her locks affectionately as she grinned down at her.

“Good to see you Rin. You’ve grown since I have last seen you. How old are you getting now? 15 …16 maybe? Almost marrying age.” … in feudal era terms, she noted to herself.

Like Kagome expected her to, the girl made disgusted face and chastised her. “I’m 7 Kagome. I’m much too young to marry boys. Besides, they are icky.”

For now they are. Wait until those hormones start revving. “Oh right, right.” She looked over at the demon lord who was unusually quiet. She looked around nervously. “What’s wrong?”

“This one cannot understand how you mistook a child for an adult.” The demon lord said genuinely baffled.

Kagome simply blinked up at him. Cleary the sarcastic exchange between her and Rin confused his poor widdle over calculating brain. To think this man trapped her into a soul selling contract with words alone. “Where were we going anyhow?” she asked him as allowed Rin to lean lazily against her side. Poor thing look like she jumped straight out of her bed just to say hi to her. Where the heck did she come from anyhow?

“To find Aimaru. He will be accompanying us in our search for the northern lord’s daughter.” He said as he stalked off in the direction he probably felt him.

“I thought I told him to watch his brother.”

“Clearly you don’t know my cousin’s penchant for disobeying orders.” He said over his shoulder.

“Clearly.” She agreed flatly as she made after him with a little half sleepy Rin in tow.

They were entering, from what Kagome could tell, a common area of some kind. Extravagantly robed demoness of every kind either lounged regally by themselves near the opened doors or sat huddled with each other talking quietly among themselves. Most of them looked of high status while others of lower if not none at all. The only thing they all seemed to have in common was their amused interest in the spectacle that was Aimaru attempting to fend off some clingy blond haired female.

“Oh but Lord Aimaru, I insist. You have to escort me to my chambers. I get so frightened walking about this large palace by myself. Surely you wouldn’t deny a lovely lady in her time of need…” The fair haired demoness pouted prettily while pressed closely against the annoyed Inu; her hands snaked up and around his tall frame clawing harshly at his clothing.

Aimaru cowered away from the demonic maiden with his most charming smile in place to take the sting out his rejection. “Oh you don’t need me. No one would be foolish enough to attack such a heavily guarded fortress as this. You have my word as Son of the Sun Inu’s.” he assured her as reached up to pry her hands out of his chest. Kagome could only grin at his obvious discomfort. It served the lecherous demon right. No doubt he managed to woo the crazy one out the bunch. She was the loveliest one here; that had to be a warning in and of itself.

“But I’d much rather have your company… for the evening if possible.” The female rasped huskily looking far from a troubled female.

A brow cocked in annoyance, Aimaru kept pulling her hands free of his person. “I’m sure there’s another male who would be more than willing to humor your reQUEST!” He yelped a particularly high note when the dastardly maiden made an aggressive grab for his dangly bits. Kagome quickly reached up to cover little Rin’s eyes. Sesshoumaru raised a quizzical brow at the demoness’ brazen actions. “LADY YUKA, UNHAND THOSE!!” he bellowed in outrage.

Obstinate, the lady giggled seductively and gave him a tighter squeeze. “Not until you promise to escort me to my room.” She wrapped her arm around Aimaru further trapping him in her hold. “Men as young and virile as you are hard to come by these days. Share that youth, hmm?”

Sesshoumaru seemed to have had enough of the ridiculous spectacle and addressed his miserable cousin. “Aimaru.”

Aimaru all too eagerly twisted in the female’s deadly hold to look to his savior in obvious relief. “Yes dearest, dearest, dearest cousin!”

“You will accompany me in my search for the northern lord’s daughter.”

“I will?” At the tightening of Lady Yuka’s hold he grimaced as he agreed readily. “Oh, of course I will. When do we leave?” Please be now. He practically pleaded with his eyes as his cousin watched him indifferently.

Not one to pass up a chance to torture the demon, Kagome adopted a regal tone as she addressed the demon lord. “I do so hate to think that we’re interfering milord. It would be a shame to deny him such an obvious chance to secure his lineage.”

Sesshoumaru gave her an amused sidelong glance. “Indeed. With the mating crisis upon us, any union under normal circumstances would be appreciated.”

“I should say so.” She had to cover her mouth to feign a cough to keep from laughing at the horrified look on Aimaru’s face. “Shall we leave them to consummate their union milord?”

“Hn. I’m sure the northern lord’s daughter isn’t in too much peril.” The demon lord noted as he turned on his heel and stalked off will Kagome close behind.

Aimaru looked miserably at the clingy female then to Sesshoumaru’s retreating form. “No, I disagree. We should make haste in our efforts to find her.” He called out after successfully wrenching himself free of the Ice demoness then made after the demon lord.

A soldier chose that moment to bow before the demon lord. Sesshoumaru watched his guard silently awaiting whatever message he had to relay to him.

“I have gotten word that, according to a few local villagers, a small group of your males were spotted just south along the borders. They claimed to have seen a female with them.” The guard hesitated as he frowned in confusion about what he was about to say next. “And she didn’t appear to be in any distress milord.”

As odd as they may sound, Kagome figured this wasn’t something they should write off either. The northern lord was clear about how soon he wanted to see his daughter, and she cant be running behind the demon all over Japan looking for her either. There was enough on her plate playing nurse for the next week or so. She looked to Sesshoumaru. “It’s our first and only lead so far. It wouldn’t make sense to dismiss the possibility that this is the group we will be looking for. It will definitely save us the trip.”

“A trip we’ll hopefully be departing on now, yes?” Aimaru said hopefully looking uneasily to the demoness pouting at him down the hall.

“Hn.” Sesshoumaru waved the guard away and continued down the hall in some unknown direction. Aimaru was practically walking on his heels. “Jaken.” He suddenly called and the little imp came waddling down the hall out of nowhere to look up at his master expectantly.

“Ready Rin for bed and fetch the miko’s bag immediately. We will be leaving shortly.”

“Aye, milord.” The kappa bowed low then moved to collect Rin’s hands and scuttled off to do the demon lord’s bidding. Kagome gave the girl a bright smile as she was carted off to ready for bed.

Aimaru broke the silence first with a clap of his hands smiling cheerfully. “We’ll let’s not stand around dawdling. We have a coerced princess to save from carnal enslavement and wayward puppies to round up. I claim first rights to glorify in her praises of greatness and gratitude.” He started at the flat look the miko glared in his direction and his smile faltered. “What?! It’s not as if you will be any help in subduing the cunt hunting beasts.”

“And YOU will?”

Aimaru looked at her as if she struck him. “Good heavens no! I claim glory rights you daft female, not GORY rights.” He gave her an affronted look before he stalked off with a huff. “Me, wrangling up a hoard of lusty dogs?!….Indeed.”

With a shake of her head she looked to find Sesshoumaru watching her. He looked …annoyed. “Milord.” She held her hand out expectantly and he readily took it and wrapped it around the crook of his arm.

“You will come to learn not to question my cousin’s stupidity. It’s obvious enough.”

The miko gave an unladylike snort as she allowed the demon lord to usher her towards the palace gates. “No kidding.”

-

Everyone was gathered at the palace gates ready to go. The sun was steadily sinking in the horizon ahead of them. So far her day here was full of strife and madness. What she once thought was a simple nursing job turned out to be a roving escort service to the demon lord. She still failed to see why she would be needed for this trip. She didn’t have a good handle on her powers, her skills with a bow weren’t where they should be, and she certainly wasn’t rough housing with any lust driven Inu’s. But then staying alone in his palace without him wasn’t a good idea either.

Kagome stood in front of Lord Sesshoumaru while Aimaru stood off to the side watching the horizon in what appears to be irritation.

She watched him from the corner of her eye wondering if he was really that upset about their ridiculous exchange earlier. Either that or he really really didn’t want to be bothered with this. It’s not as if this was something she or Sesshoumaru would want to be bothered with either so he just needed to get over himself. This was a rescue not a holiday.

He must have felt her gaze on him when he suddenly smiled as if never upset in the first place. It was unnerving really. Even women don’t shift through emotions like that.

At that moment, Jaken came scurrying out of the palace lugging her oversized backpack after him. Lord Sesshoumaru relived the kappa of the sack and claimed Kagome’s middle with his arm before taking off into the sky towards the southern borders with Aimaru bringing up the rear.

They all flew in comfortable silence as they surveyed the land below incase their targeted party decided to roam.

Kagome wasn’t aware of how intimate their embrace was until she felt movement of a wayward hand. Looking down she watched the appendage slide higher and higher until it settled right beneath the curve of her breast. She stiffened when his thumb toyed with the sensitive curve her mound; the digit grazing back and forth lazily. A little dizzy from the contact, she looked up at the demon lord studying the horizon seemingly oblivious to her discomfort.

Eyes narrowed, she shoved his hand away from her breast. “How are you feeling?”

“Well.” He tried to recapture her breast only to have his hand moved again. He smiled. “Are you well mate?”

The miko huffed and looked away from his smirking face. He was doing that an awful lot lately. Smirking, grinning, and chuckling... “I’m fine, thanks for as...” She gasped when his hand took that moment to cup her breast. By instinct she moved to wiggle free of his hand when his fingers tightened around her.

“Is my touch so unwelcomed that you would rather plummet to your death my little miko?” he crooned in her ear. His face nuzzled the crook of her neck.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself buddy. There isn’t anything wrong with you. So watch those hands mister.” She pushed his wrist only meet steel-like resistance. She felt silly with his large hand latched on her breast like that. Not to mention hot…perhaps a little bothered….but mostly silly.

“I am within my rights.”

“Your rights?! On my body?”

“Shall I recite the terms of our agreement?” he chuckled at the peeved glare she threw at him then took that moment to kiss her soundly on her upturned lips. She gasped when he swept his tongue greedily into her mouth to taste everything from her teeth to the sweet wet flavor of her tongue. My god, he was like a living toothbrush. When he finally let her up for air, she had to lick her lips to stimulate moisture back in to her mouth drawing his mesmerizing gaze to her lips.

She broke their gaze then looked ahead and had to blink a few times. “Awfully nosey aren’t we?”

The Inu shrugged and shifted his cloud over along side of them. “Forgive me precious.” He started dramatically. “I didn’t realize you were seeking privacy out here in the open hundreds of feet in the air. How uncouth of me.”

Aimaru has to be the most sarcastic demon she has ever met in her life. And he says it so seriously, that it’s hard to recognize when he’s sarcastic. “Yeah, uncouth indeed.” She shot back just as haughtily.

Kagome scanned the passing land below. “How do you mark the end of your borders? Is there a special river or town?”

“Scent.” The demon lord said simply.

Well, she supposed that falls out of her hands then. Her human nose can’t differentiate between scents like that. “So what does your land smell like?”

Sesshoumaru looked down at her silently for a moment before replying. “Me.”

“You? What do you mean…”

“Are you familiar with the behaviors of dogs precious?” Aimaru asked patiently with a cheery smirk on his face. When she nodded he said, “And are you familiar with how they mark their territory?”

It took a minute before Kagome put two and two together then grimaced. “Ew.”

Both Inu’s chuckled at her discomfort.
