Gmamma: After reading your review I threw in a small AN onto Ch. 15, because I didn’t want you guys thinking Sesshy was just jumping between each girl. Hopefully this next chapter helps you guys see that he’s NOT being a manslut!! Kagura is definitely treading on ice, but I can’t tell you if she’s going to get the boot or not :P You’ll just have to keep reading. And regarding Kagome’s family… Well. There’s quite a bit planned for that >;]
Leah: Thank you so muchhhh. I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying my story.

Chapter 16: His

The nights’ events kept replaying through Sesshoumaru’s head. How her lip trembled when she had seen him with Kagura. How her body fit so perfectly wrapped in his arms. How her glassy eyes shone through the darkness of the night like sapphires. How she completely gave into his ministrations despite what he had done.
What he had done…
Sesshoumaru laid in his bed, Kagura-free this time, and could do nothing but stare up at the ceiling above him; lost in thought.
He had come back to his room after his night with Kagome and had sent for the maids to remove Kagura from his chambers. Her scent still lingered on his sheets, which made it that much harder to sleep. It seemed his beast completely detested the wind demoness now.
Recalling why he had taken Kagura to his bed in the first place made Sesshoumaru feel something he hadn’t felt since he was a pup; guilt. He had felt this earlier when Kagome had walked in on them, but now he felt guilty for more than one reason.
Him. The Lord of the Western Lands; guilty because he took his mate to bed. How ironic that was.
Sesshoumaru stood up, “You will rid of those thoughts from now on,” he began walking out of the room and headed back up the flights of stairs. He paused at the exit and spoke to one of the guards, “Clean her up appropriately and take her to her chambers.” He left without another word.
Once he arrived in his chambers that night, the scent of the miko was strong. She was now staying with him. He didn’t know what he was thinking when he had told Jaken to move her to his chambers. All he thought of was how she wouldn’t be able to slip away like she had before after she was able to find Kaede. But that wasn’t all. Now that she was developing her miko powers more and more as she became closer to age for finding a strong enough mate, her aura would slowly overtake the binding spell. And then she would be found out by other demons, which put her at risk.
Yes, she was closing in on her eighteenth birthday, he could tell just by smelling her. Kagome was not the first miko he had encountered. He knew much in the ways of their holy powers, for he grew up in the era that they had lived in. When a miko reached her eighteenth birthday, their powers would begin to overflow out of their physical body, through their astral body, signifying just how much power they had. It was a way of showing just how strong they were and were out looking for an equally strong, or stronger, mate.
However, mikos were specifically female. So, whilst their auras would expand to show how strong they were, much like a peacock would with their feathers, it was really more of a way for their miko half to reach out and search for the suitable mate that would produce only the strongest heirs that they could. Sesshoumaru knew this firsthand.
Even though mikos and demons were opposite, it wasn’t uncommon to find a demon and miko mated, seeing as demons were physically much stronger than any human. But that didn’t mean they were better. Most humans had more spiritual energy than demons, because they were not ruled by an animalistic mind. But, only demons of a lower caliber had this trait. Although, demons such as Sesshoumaru were not purely run by their beast. They were decisive, intuitive, intelligent creatures that could be cold but calculated killers.
But because of that, whenever he dared go anywhere near a miko village he would immediately sense their auras reaching out for him almost like fan girls screaming for their favorite music artist.
But because of these events, he was able to see the telltale signs of what was happening with Kagome. Her aura was reaching out to him, weakly right now because of the binding spell, but it was different. It wasn’t like the previous auras that reached for him. It was like her aura had completely enveloped her being and enhanced everything about her that would cause a reaction out of his beast. For example, her scent. While already being intoxicating, now acted as even more of an aphrodisiac to him. She had smelled so ridiculously good that it was just another reason he reacted so strongly to her trying to leave to see Kaede.
His beast was responding to Kagome as if she were his mate. His beast so easily made its appearance when he had reached Kagome and Kaede. Never would he need to call onto his beast for the added strength against a simple priestess barrier, especially when it was only of Kaede’s caliber; which had deteriorated over time. Which meant that his beast was specifically responding to Kagome and being able to reach her.
Her scent was still the most obvious change, since he could smell her all the way from his chambers when she was still residing in a room down the hall. But her physical appearance seemed to be enhanced as well. It wasn’t as if she was changing just during her peak, it was like her miko powers were enhancing her assets quicker than an average human. Her body was preparing itself to pick a mate, which meant using physical attractiveness to lure their desired mate in. If only she knew that she didn’t need to be anymore perfect than she already was to get his attention. Though, he was definitely not complaining about the changes she was going through.
Many times he had to look away so as to not get any ideas, but it was starting to test his patience and will. His beast urging him to take what was already theirs. The pressure of his own heat was coming. It wasn’t that far away now. But every day it got worse.
Demons also have a mating period. But since Sesshoumaru was already mated, this wasn’t a period to find a mate, it was a period of producing pups. It would happen once a year typically, but would sometimes happen more or less depending on their mate.
Kagura had been in heat for the past two weeks. But he had nothing to do with her. It had been just another reason why Kagura went so crazy with Kagome. Her own beast was waiting for her mate, but he had been busy with a different female.
It had been one of the reasons he decided not to kill Kagura that night. Because he knew that as soon as her beast felt sated, pupped or not, that her heat would go away and she would no longer react as she had with the miko. At least he hoped.
Despite that, because of their mating bond, he was able to sense her strong desire for him the whole time. Yet another reason he had been avoiding her. He didn’t want her, no matter how much his body had called for her. It wasn’t really what his body wanted, it was just their bond calling for each other to mate, since her heat was currently happening, and his was on its way. Their bodies were trying to tell them that it was time to have pups.
The pressures coming from all directions proved to be too irresistible for Sesshoumaru, so he had taken Kagura.
Sitting up in bed, Sesshoumaru realized that if he had just kept Kagome away from him a little longer, he probably wouldn’t have taken Kagura. He wouldn’t have been such a fool. He wouldn’t have felt so guilty like he did now.
But even more than that, he felt guilty because he had taken advantage of Kagome’s current state. She didn’t even realize what was going on inside of her own body with her miko powers calling out to him, begging him and urging him. She didn’t know that her responsiveness was just because of her own “heat”.
Sesshoumaru gripped the sheets below him, that thought seeming to wound his beast’s pride. It wasn’t really him she wanted, it was just her miko half responding to him as the other mikos had in the past. They wanted the strongest mate possible, and he was their golden ticket. Kagome didn’t know what she was doing, which meant that if she would never had normally responded so well to him.
Sighing, Sesshoumaru looked out his window. Deciding he wanted to get away from his current thoughts, he got out of bed and walked out to his large balcony that was next to Kagome’s. He doubted she knew that, though.
Sesshoumaru came to stand at the edge of the balcony, with his hands placed onto the marble railings. The strong, harsh winter winds blew past him. He didn’t care, though. Looking to his left he saw the greenhouse they had been in before, and the thoughts of how he had been in there not so long ago, ready to mate with Kagome, rushed back. He just couldn’t help himself.
He had never intended to take advantage of her like he had, but he had finally been alone with her, just him and her. And she had needed comfort. He didn’t want to see her cry, it hurt him. And the fact that he had been the one to cause the tears made it worse. So he had tried to be there for her, but he had acted wrongly. He should have let her cry it out, then do something after her heat was over. His as well.
He couldn’t face her now, he had hurt her. And she had unknowingly hurt him as well. Though, he would never admit that.
What he did have to come to terms with now, was the fact that she did have an impact on him. His beast seemed to want her just as much as her miko half wanted him. He wanted her for more than just her powers. He wanted something with her, but he wasn’t exactly sure what. He for sure knew that he had a strong desire to mate the miko. However, right now that was not something to think about. He would not risk getting her pupped. He was sure that she would unconsciously be trying to get him to, and with his oncoming heat he would definitely not be able to resist the urge.
There was no other choice. He had to avoid her at all costs. At least until both of their “heats” were over. He knew his would last about two weeks, but he was not sure how long hers would last. That would be something he ask Kaede.
Ah, Kaede. That was a good distraction. He would allow Kagome to begin her miko training with the elderly priestess. He would make a condition, however. Kaede would need to strengthen the binding spell. Hopefully that would mask Kagome’s aura more when he had to be around her. He was sure there were more than a few demons now in the mansion that had taken notice of the holy energy inside of the mansion. But only those that were of higher caliber in his pack would recognize what it exactly was. And those demons he believed wouldn’t be disloyal.
He imagined their miko training would require that Kagome remove the necklace, which currently bound her powers. And he knew that there would be no turning back for him if that happened. So, he would either request that Kaede figure out a way to temporarily mask their energies entirely for their training, while being supervised by his most loyal subordinates. Or, he would have them moved to a training ground where they would be far enough away that she wouldn’t affect him.
He knew that any male subordinates of his wouldn’t be able to handle Kagome’s peak, so he would send female-only subordinates. However, he knew that if they were demon, it wouldn’t necessarily stop them from doing anything. So, he would have to pick humans. Humans he trusted the most. Sango and Miroku will do. Though, Miroku wasn’t female. But, in times like these, he guessed he couldn’t be too picky. He knew Kagome was fond of Miroku and Sango, which meant that she would be at ease with them. Which also meant that her training might be faster, since she’d be able to relax.
The question of Sango and Miroku’s loyalty was easy. He knew the slayer wouldn’t disobey him, for she owed him her life. He had saved her brother-- Kohaku-- from death. Well, technically the boy had died and Sesshoumaru had revived him with his sword, Tenseiga. All those that were revived by Tenseiga are bound to the sword’s owner until their “master” released them. And while Kohaku was under his control, Sango would be going nowhere. This is how she had come to be his subordinate.
As for the Monk, he knew that the Monk wouldn’t do anything rash since his cursed left hand, the one that bore the Wind Tunnel, was only curable by knowledge that Sesshoumaru held. Their agreement was that Sesshoumaru could call on Miroku whenever he pleased, use him for anything he asked, in exchange for the information on how to rid of the Wind Tunnel. However, just to ensure that they wouldn’t do anything in case these reasons weren’t enough incentive, he would keep his loyal assassin-- from earlier that captured Kagura-- around their training area to keep an eye on things. He wouldn’t engage with the group, but just supervise from afar. He would report to Sesshoumaru if anything went awry. He would also be far enough away to not be too affected by the miko’s power.
Yes. This would work out. This way he wouldn’t be near Kagome to suffer the way he had been when in her presence. He wouldn’t do what he had done to her that night. She wouldn’t unconsciously pull him to her. Yes. He would be able to get away from it all and resist the urges that he had.
With that, Sesshoumaru began to head back inside. His body was like ice, but he didn’t mind it.
“Sesshoumaru?” came a soft voice.
Sesshoumaru looked to his right, and none other than Kagome was standing right outside her balcony door, shivering.
“You should be in bed, miko.”
Kagome frowned, frustrated that he reverted back to calling her “miko”. “So should you,” she responded.
Sesshoumaru eyebrow arched, “I do not require sleep like a human does.”
Kagome shivered again, still frustrated with his name for her, “I couldn’t sleep. And then I thought I saw something outside but it was just you. You looked upset.”
Sesshoumaru, while not bothered by it, could definitely feel the cold whipping around them. He knew if she stayed out here much longer that she would get sick. Especially while only wearing a… A… Sesshoumaru swallowed hard as he looked down her figure. He felt slightly nervous now. She was only wearing a slip and silk robe. The snow that had landed on her form had quickly dampened her clothing, which had to have been making her even more cold. In fact, he could definitely tell. Her chest was… Just look away! Sesshoumaru had to force his eyes back up to her face, which is when he noticed her teeth were chattering from how cold she was.
“S-sesshoumar-aru?” she asked when she had received no response.
Without thinking, Sesshoumaru jumped over to her balcony and lifted her into his arms. Kagome “eep’d!” at the suddenness, and at how cold his skin had been. He must have been out there for a long time…
Sesshoumaru stood next to her bed and laid Kagome down onto it once again that night. He pulled the covers up over her, then moved to leave. But before he could, Kagome had wrapped her dainty fingers around his, only capturing three of his fingers in her tiny hand. “I’m… I’m not just someone you can kiss whenever you feel like it.” Kagome was looking down, slightly blushing.
Sesshoumaru had looked back at her, surprised by her bravery to reach out to him. He let her hold onto his hand, then looked forward, thinking about everything he had been thought of earlier. “I made a mistake. That was not meant to happen.”
Kagome looked up at the back of his head, surprised. A mixture of emotions fluttered around in her heart. Hurt, anger, relief, sadness. Mostly sadness. She felt the start of tears begin to form, causing her to look down. To look away from him. She bit her lip in an effort to hold back her feelings. He regrets it. He doesn’t actually want me. It was all just a big mistake.
Kagome’s hand tightened around his before she completely let go. A single tear fell, which she quickly wiped away. She didn’t want to cry. She didn’t want to be upset about this. But she just couldn’t help it. He confused her so much, she just didn’t know what to think of him anymore.
Sesshoumaru took that as his cue and continued his way out, silently shutting the door behind him.
He stood there for a minute, closing his eyes. He could smell her tears, he could smell her confusion with him. He knew he had caused her this distress. But he also knew this was just the way her miko half was trying to get at him so he would try to “comfort” her and mate with her. He knew it wasn’t really her. It was just the calling.
Shaking his head slightly, he walked out of his chambers entirely, slipping on one of his silk robes as he went, loosely tying it around his waist before he made his way to have a talk with Kaede. This had to come to an end. He was going to arrange for her training to start as soon as possible. And there was no way he would be able to relax or sleep at all now, so he might as well get things moving now.
He had to get away from her. He knew this was for the best… Right?

Okay! Thanks so much for reading guys! Please leave a review to let me know what you think!
