Sakura woke just after sunrise to find herself alone. She thought about reaching for Sesshmaru but changed her mind. She needed some time with her own thoughts and that was becoming increasingly difficult whenever she was around him. She was well aware that he could hear her thoughts no matter how much distance was put between them. It was just easier to concentrate when is body wasn't so close and she hoped that he wouldn't press her about it later. She uncurrled herself from his mokomoko and went to undress next to the spring. She groaned in pleasure as she sank neck deep into the water, settling herself onto a smoth rock ledge. There was just one thing missing. I wonder. She thought as she settled her palms just against the surface of the water. She knew it had worked as the soft fragrance hit her sensative nose and she opened her eyes to see that the spring was almost completely covered in cherry blossoms. Okay, she could definately get used to this whole magic thing. Smiling, she closed her eyes and let her thoughts drift to Sesshomaru and this whole imprinting business. She had known just as he had what had happened that day with Kinaka. In a way she had forced their link to form prematurally. Technically, their bond had begun to form many years ago but they had been too young yet for the imprinting to completely take form. Since they had been apart for so many years it should have taken time for their souls to reconnect. It would have started with small impressions in the mind, allowng their link to flourish along with their emotions. She knew as Sesshomaru had been thinking about it almost constantly that just because you were imprinted did not mean that you wuld ultimately fall in love. This was why an imprinting usually took time. It allowed for the pair to get to know eachother without the mind link instead of being flooded with thoughts and memories.
When her sould had cried out in pain after Kinaka had stabbed her with the dagger, Sesshomaru's had answered, solidifying their mind link. She had figured that even if it hadn't happened this way, it would not have taken long for their imprinting to come full circle. Her head was telling her to deny this imprinting with every bit of fighting spirit she had. It was her heart that was getting in the way of her logical thinking. No matter how much she tried to deny her feelings for him she couldn't. Though she hadn't been able to fully comprehend it at the time, she had fallen in love with him the day he had given her the little moon. She used her magic to call the little crystal into her palm. It was such a simple little thing but to her it was more precious than an adament stone. Looking at the soft glow a small tear ran down her cheek. In that moment she knew that her heart would win this battle. Her love for him would only grown with the imprinting and she could only hope that they would survive the darkness. The thought of Sesshomaru being lost to her again was more that she could bear and she let her tears flow freely into the water below. She had been so lost in her own pain that she hadn't noticed the subject fom her inner musings approaching from behind.
"You underestimate me, Kitten," He had been overseeing Rin's training when she had woken up. He had considered coming back then but understood her need to resolve this on her own. So he had simply stayed silent in her mind. Her silent confession of love had been enough to have him running back to her, but it was the pain over the possibility of his death and her tears that angered him. He would see this darkness obliterated as punishment for her tears.
"Could you at least pretend not to hear my every thought?" She would turn around to face him but she was quite shy about her body.
"Actually, I think I did rather well." Considering he had stayed away as long as he had should count for something.
"How do you figure?" Sakura could feel her skin starting to wrinkle and she wished he would go away so she could get dressed.
"I let you have this time to yourself to figure things out without my interference. I stayed quiet in your mind, simply listening. It wasn't until your admission of love that I came back. Do you think me so weak that I would die at the hands of filth such as that demon?" He moved to set on the grass at her back, knowing she was too shy to come out of the water. She would run away from him and this discussion if she did.
Sakura gave in and turned to face him, making sure that her arms were crossed securely across her chest. "I do not think you weak, Sesshomaru but you must understand and besides you, I have lost everyone that has ever been dear to me to the darkness. This fear is not going to go away simply because you assure me that you cannot be killed by him. My fear exists because of the deep love I have in my heart for you. I fear that I will be to weak to destroy the darkness. Their powers have had many years to grow and I have only just accepted mine."
"Fate would not have granted me a weak mate." He picked up her kimono from where it lay and motioned for her to get out of the spring. She hesitated and he huffed in annoyance, but he closed his eyes anyway. "Dry yourself with your magic and I will get you dressed."
She did as he asked and was surprised at how well he had been able to tie her obi. "Where did you learn to do that?" She asked.
"Rin." Sesshomaru couldn't help but smile at the memories as he played them out for Sakura. It had actually taken him many tries before managing to tie it correctly.
Sakura laughed at the images playing out in her mind. "You were really bad at this." She managed through her giggles.
He joined in her laughter before swiping a claw at her playfully. "As you can see, I managed to master this ability."
"I suppose you have. Speaking of abilities, any theories as to why I cannot wield my Sai anymore?" She had been unable to channel youki through the blades since she had regained her original soul and it was nagging at her.
Sesshomaru thought for a moment. "I would assume that the blades no longer respond because they do not recognize your complete soul. What did Totosai forge them with?"
"My blood and enchanted adament." She really hoped that they would not be useless to her. She had grown close to her weapons, like they were an extension of her own body.
"They will need to be reforged. We will have to journey to Totosai's so he can take care of it." He did not like the old demon swordsmith's lackidasical attitude towards him but he respected his ability to craft a proper weapon.
"When can we go?" Sakura really wanted to get this problem fixed before something else happened and she was minus some of her power.
"If you like we can travel there after finishing in the village this afternoon. It will not take us long by flight." He relaced his mokomoko and turned to recieve her answer.
"We can decide later." She walked to stand in front of him and raising on her toes she kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Arigato, Sesshomaru." She smiled at the unmasked look of surprise and made a snap decision. "Race you to the village."
She was gone before he could blink and Sesshomaru smirked at her little trick. You cheated kitten.
Nope. Hanyou remember? I am already at a disadvantage. Just leveling out the playing field.
Her laughter ran through his and he answered with an evil chuckle of his own. Have you forgotten already, mate? I can fly!
Sakura had indeed forgotten and she picked up the pace, knowing it was still no use. He landed in front of her seconds later aura flaring hard enough to stop her in her tracks. He was definately and alpha male and he immulated power in rolling waves. She hadn't noticed it before but it was driving her instincts mad. She answered his call as alpha female as her demon took over.
Sesshomaru had watched the change come over her and he pulled his power back. He could smell her arousal on the air and his body instantly hardened in response. "Sakura. What are you doing kitten?" At the sound of his voice she stalked towards him, her eyes roaming his body rolling back in appreciation. He had only meant to tease her a little. Instead he had called her as his mate and unintentionally seduced her demon. The sweet honey of her arousal was killing him and if he didn't pull her back soon they would end up making a terrible mistake. When she got close enough he reached to wrap her around his hand and pulled, using just enough pressure to induce a little bit of pain. She hissed but her human half shot to the forefront and she finally regained control of her senses.
That had been the most intense thing she had ever felt. She still wanted him badly but it would have to wait. There were more important things right now than her pleasure. The first mating of an imprinted pair had to be handled delicatley and she was grateful that he had been able to snap her out of it. She noticed that he was shaking and she placed his hand against his cheek in apology. "Gomen ne."
He nodded in acceptance and leaned over to rub his nose againt one of her fur covered ears, her answering shiver its own reward. "Forget about Totosai. We will revisit the importance of your pleasure this evening."
********************************************************************************
She had started with Rin and Kohaku, successfully channeling her power through their bodies to surround their hearts in a protective light. Miroku unfortunatly had a full house and it had taken her much longer, having to stop for food and a nap before proceeding to Inuyahsa and Kagome's. Walking had become increasingly difficult as everytime she moved, Sesshomaru would send her an image of exactly how he was going to accomidate her...needs. She would have given anything to have the power to sit him like Kagome had with InuYasha. Though she knew the little miko very rarely used it. An idea ran across her mind and she looked back at him, hissing at the smug smile plastered on his face.
I could knock you on your ass with magic you know...
But you will not do so.
And just how can you be so sure?
He then sent her an image that consisted of her being bound to a tree and she gave up. Lets just get this done.
