To Protect the Alpha Female
Summary: Kagome had no idea she had been claimed from the very beginning, nor the depth of the request she made of Inuyasha. How could a human ever grasp the intricacies of pack politics and the reason why Sesshomaru was so intent on obtaining Tessaiga? The off-limits girl knew not of her situation, but soon, she would.

Chapter 34: To Call
Not about to let his progress with Kagome slip, Sesshomaru waited a mere three days before returning to court her, not counting the stint where she couldn't even recall her own name, let alone pronounce his. He wondered just how much of that she would remember since he left as soon as Inuyasha could stand. The humans had still been completely inebriated.
"Lord Sesshomaru," Rin's voice sang out in the darkness, "look there! I see something."
"It's a fire you sill girl," Jaken replied, saving his lord from needing to answer such a useless statement. Seriously, didn't the child know that their lord would have already seen the flame from much further away; he didn't need her pointing out such unimportant matters.
"I wonder who made it," Rin continued thinking out loud. The thought of having a fire was a pleasant one; she could cook the roots she found earlier today instead of eating them raw.
"It doesn't matter," Jaken admonished. "We won't be going there anyways." Jaken's words confused the girl all the more, not for what he said since that would usually be correct, but if they weren't going there, why were they were heading in that exact direction?
Her suspicions were confirmed when they entered the circle of light and Sesshomaru issued two orders before vanishing back into the darkness. The first was for Jaken to be quiet, and the second was for Shippo to entertain Rin.
Jaken couldn't understand not only why his lord had left them, left Rin, with his half-breed brother, but also why he would immediately order him to silence instead of that loud-mouthed pup. He was only making sure they showed the proper respect to his almighty lord, such as bowing, groveling, and begging not to be slain simply for existing. Inuyasha was not worthy to breathe the same air, and that insolent priestess, wait, where was the scantily clad woman-child, "Isn't one of you missing?"
"Ya think?" Inuyasha snapped back, trying not to let the visuals of Kagame being with his brother take hold in his mind. There was nothing he could do about it. Blocking Sesshomaru could easily get him killed, and Kagome's stubbornness was even harder to overcome. It tormented him to be so powerless.
"I don't hear any screaming," Shippo's ears tried to pick up the subtle sounds. Last time, Kagame had squealed in surprise, but this time, he wasn't catching anything. "That's got to be a good sign."
"Maybe Kagome is starting to really like Lord Sesshomaru back," Rin giggled, excited at the prospects.
"Watch your tongue, Rin," Jaken reprimanded upon hearing her refer to their lord in such a way. "Lord Sesshomaru would have no interest in the priestess. She is nothing but a weak human!" The looks he got for the declaration were a mix of annoyance and disbelief; the imp was still completely clueless.
Normally, Sesshomaru would have left Rin and Jaken somewhere before coming to call on Kagome, but Naraku had been watching him far too close for comfort. He had already dispatched seven of those damnable insects today and was not about to let the fiend use Rin against him again. Jaken's mouth would just have to be tolerated.
It wasn't like his courtship with Kagome was a secret; anyone capable of picking up his scent mark would immediately know his intentions toward her. It was almost amusing how unaware Jaken continued to be on this matter. Perhaps after today he would finally get the picture.
The sound of splashing water a short ways away and his intended's incessant need to bathe daily told him exactly where she was. Boots crunched lightly on the rocky bank of a shallow lake. Sun-warmed water lapped at delicate, feminine curves, hidden the instant Kagome noticed his presence. He was not surprised when she ducked low in the water, nor at the question that arose from her.
"Oh hey, Sesshomaru," Kagome swallowed thickly when he suddenly appeared, "is this grooming too?" She realized that his showing up here was probably why Sango had turned down a bath earlier. She couldn't really blame the slayer.
Time apart had given Kagome opportunity to really think about what she wanted, what she couldn't get her mind off of. She had never imagined a desire like this, still, when faced with that very real possibility, her insecurities forced themselves back into her mind and she couldn't help but second guess herself.
"If that is what you wish," he intoned. She nodded to him. It was much slower than he originally expected a courtship to go, but it was still progress. Simply the fact that she had not been startled by his approach or frightened at his appropriate touch would be enough for now. There came no complaint when he placed her between his legs to wash her and no protest to his chest pressed into her back. Her heart thrummed steady and her breathing remained soft. Her head lolled back to rest on his shoulder, exposing the vital points along her fragile throat. Stroking the pale column with her soapy tool, his claws only inches from her death, he was very pleased by the amount of trust she placed in him.
Yes, she was very calm. Relaxed, but disturbed. Her brows creased intermittently, and she was much quieter than he had come to learn she usually was. "Speak that which troubles you," he felt her tense at his words. Did she really think he would not notice her distraction?
"It's nothing," he did not fall for her rushed reply, but chose not to press the matter. Before long, his patience paid off. "Do you think I'm… pretty?" It was barely a whisper, but the worry in her tone rang clearly. See, having time to think about what went on between them last time, also gave her time to fret about every minor detail.
"Why would I not?" he had already explained his opinion on this matter, but apparently, something had her doubting.
"Well, last time," Kagome took a deep breath to help her get the words out, "sitting in your lap naked," she emphasized, trying to ignored the heat in her cheeks, "you weren't umm… excited." She could feel he wasn't aroused this time either. She thought maybe it was because she had been so resistant before, but she had been cooperating today. She couldn't think of any reason besides the possibility that he just wasn't attracted to her because she was not a demon. A sob remained trapped in her throat; it hurt worse than finding out Inuyasha only saw her as a sister.
"Your scent was not calling," it was rather simple, if she did not smell of desire for him, his body would not respond in such a way. Most animal-based demons physically could not force themselves upon a female. No, that was a despicable act of filthy humans, and one of the many reasons he despised them so.
"My scent," Kagome repeated to herself, piecing the puzzle together. 'Oh course. Humans may be guided by sight, but dogs follow their noses. That's why being naked has no effect on him,' Kagame realized, 'it's not his main sense.' "I think I understand."
Speaking of scent, those five simple words had been all she needed to lose the bitter tang on distress hers carried; the softening lines of her cheeks confirmed that she was no longer distressed. When her head laid back on his shoulder, the bathing implement fell from his hand and he opted to chance what he would prefer instead. Kagome's heart beat sped up as she felt the unforgettable sensation of his tongue on her skin, this time, running the length of her throat. Mind racing to catch up, a heated moan escaped her lips without her control.
No sooner had the sound reached his ears did Kagome claps her hand over her mouth, 'Please tell me that didn't just happen.'
"Do not be ashamed," Sesshomaru drawled lowly against her maddening pulse, inhaling deeply the change in her aroma. "Your scent is calling."
The protrusion hardening at her back spoke all too clearly of the effect it was having on him, which in turn magnified Kagome's uncertainty. She tried to extricate herself, desperate to explain that just because her scent said she wanted it, didn't mean she, herself, was ready, "But I'm not-"
"We will not enter demonstration today," Sesshomaru headed off her concerns. As fiercely as his desire flared up, he was no pup that would let scent alone dictate his actions; he wouldn't press his hunger upon her. "Allow me to continue cleaning you?" He much preferred this method than that of her implement. Her shy nod garnered a pleased rumble and preceded the wet appendage making trails from her collar bone to her ear.
'Why does this feel so good?' Kagome wondered to herself. All he was doing was licking her neck, but it was causing her body to feel so warm. The heat of his mouth and the chill of the wind, the adept flexibility of his tongue and the unyielding sharpness of his fangs; somehow, knowing just how dangerous he could be only made this more erotic.
Being the considerate person she was, it didn't quite sit well with Kagome that the activities had been so one-sided; it was only him making her feel good and she had done nothing for him in return, but she didn't know what he liked. It had been reinforced several times, he was a dog demon, unaffected by many of the things human males would like. Perhaps if she mirrored his actions; it was all she had to go on.
Tilting her head to rest on his shoulder, Kagome was just able to reach his pointed ear and return the gesture. The sound he emitted would have had her flying from his reach had his arm not been anchored around her shoulders. Her first thought had been that she angered him, that is, until his words registered.
"Again," he rasped heatedly against her collar. Her boldness had been unexpected, but in no way unwanted. He reveled in the knowledge that more than just her body wanted him. It was doubtful that she fully understood what she was doing to him, but it did not matter; he was not about to stop her and explain it.
Timid at first, her tongue traced along the edges before her blunt teeth scraped against the outer rim. She felt his body buck from behind her and found herself wanting to make him do it again; she wanted to make him feel good too. Before she let her mind think on it too much and talk herself out of it, Kagome spun around, kneeling in the water in front of him and clamped her lips on his neck. A clawed hand anchored around her waist and pulled her ample chest flush with his, trapping his member between their bodies. She still hadn't been able to bring herself to look, but this made Kagome all too aware of just how well-endowed he was; was it supposed to reach her diaphragm?
Pushing down her doubts about their size differences for another, more relevant, time, Kagome instead aimed to get him growling again. If he didn't like her actions, he'd surely stop her. There was one thing she had been dying to try; something that had been gnawing away at the corners of her mind, but that she had never gotten the chance to attempt. It wasn't like she got this close to him that often. Moving along his jawline, her quest for his kiss was halted before she could taste his lips.
The warning she got, however, was not what she expected, "Should we continue as we are, we will have entered Demonstration." He was getting a little too enraptured for just grooming. It didn't help that Kagome was in heat; the scent of her fertility assaulted his senses with the promise of seeing her heavy with his pups. Whereas he would readily continue, he had assured her they would not. The decision, was hers.
Kagome froze, unmoving as her mind frantically sought an answer to his unspoken question, 'Should we? Do I want that?' She knew what was expected of her if she said yes; she couldn't forget this section even if she wanted to.

Demonstration of Control
Just as Proof of Strength shows ability to protect one's mate and pups from outside dangers, so does Demonstration of Control prove proficiency at protecting them from one's self. When restraints unshackle, the results could be lethal.
Of all possible strains, during the heat of passion is the most trying time to keep control. Remaining intact throughout the act of mutual edging is the truest test of self-control known to demons.
Enacted prior to mating, even if only mere moments, Demonstration of Control assures the female that she will not be harmed unintentionally. The duration is dependent on those involved but ceases when both parties have been sufficiently reassured and no longer deem it necessary.

Sesshomaru watched the emotions play out in her trepid eyes, with her teeth worrying her bottom lip, as she debated on her answer. Her expression cleared moments before her mouth returned to his neck. He could not have been more pleased with her assent. He let his approval show by pulling her tighter, but in doing so he could feel the chill across her skin, the effect of cool water and wind. It hadn't been until Rin came to be in his company that he realized just how susceptible humans could be to the elements. Even with the heat from their activities, she was too cold; he did not need her becoming ill. She would need to dry off first, only then would he have her screaming beneath him.
