Chapter 4: Box
of Yummy
Sesshomaru stood
on a cliff over looking a valley filled with trees and the scent of animals.
Most were asleep but a few nocturnal creatures were out in the night searching
for food and committing other simple acts. Sesshomaru let out a deep breath and
opened the part of him he kept leashed inside of him.
It was his
beast, his demon, his power. It was his essence and he held it within him with
a firm grip. He had never been able to explain what it was like for him to keep
his inner power under control. It was like holding his breath and letting the
breath out felt so good. Sometimes he held his breath for too long making the
power grow too strong for him.
Though few would
question his complete control over his inner self, when it did manage to
overpower his strict control his inner breath would hitch, letting it out, and
he would act rashly without thinking of what he was doing, why he was doing it
or the consequences there of.
That was the
reason for his earlier lapse of judgment, nothing more.
At least that’s
what he kept telling himself.
He let out that
breath slowly and let his demonic aura spread into the surrounding forest and
crept through the crevasses down the cliff. His aura spilled over simple plants
and creatures, finding nothing demonic or strong enough to pose even a minor
threat to his sleeping pack.
He felt them as
his aura paused by them. It patted Ah-Un on his heads making the large beast
grunt in appreciation before it moved to the three sleeping members. It touched
Jaken’s forehead tenderly, his beast showing his affection for the loyal
vassal. Loyalty was something it understood and rewarded. That’s why it stroked
Rin’s cheek when it got to her. It recognized its pup, though the pup had no
blood connecting them, and knew that she would always be by his side, in his
pack, until they found a worthy mate for her.
It stumbled when
it got to Kagome. It liked how submissive she had been when they met the other
day and liked that she had chosen to come join them of her own free will. His
inner demon caressed her skin and breathed in her scent while she sighed in her
sleep.
Sesshomaru felt
his inner self purr at her sleeping form before continuing its flow outward.
After he had confirmed that nothing was going to endanger his pack he began the
trying task of sucking his beast back into him. He had opened it to the point
where he could feel the animalistic mind just behind his eyes, watching,
remembering, thinking foreign thoughts.
He didn’t know
what the beast would do if he gave in to it and it scared him. He was so
accustomed to knowing himself and his beast and all thoughts therein that this
void of understanding was alien. He closed his eyes as he drew his power back
in and relaxed when he held the breath of his power within him securely. His
beast was not happy, but it never was when it came to being caged again.
Sesshomaru
reopened his eyes and continued his questioning thoughts where they had left
off. Why had he allowed himself to act as he had? Why had he been so quick to
caress her instead of merely freeing her from himself? Yes she was his packs
alpha bitch but that didn’t make her his.
Not in that sense anyway. He had acted like a lovesick alpha pup who wanted to
comfort his mate. It was simply revolting the way he had acted. And it was even
more sickening that Sesshomaru himself had liked it.
He liked tasting her arousal. He liked tasting her sweet vanilla flesh.
Hell, he wanted to do it again right now, but she was a ningen damnit. He was going to seduce her,
sure. But it was merely for curiosity sake, he wasn’t supposed to actually
enjoy it enough to want to do it again, and they hadn’t even done it! He’d
merely tasted her.
Damn her.
She clouded his
mind, drifted across his dreams and encompassed his every thought. What had she
done to him? He loved watching her move for him in training. Loved that her
body responded to every direction he gave. Every time he told her to she’d
kick, thrust, dodge, strike. She was completely obedient and it was driving him
crazy.
And then there
was her fire. When she knew that he
was the expert in what they were doing she would listen, but when it came to
something that she had equal grounds on she flared to life and fought for
dominance on a situation. Sesshomaru, of course, always won, but she was so
magnificent when she went up against him without fear or doubt.
And just
thinking about her had a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
What was wrong with him?! He was acting like some
lowlife demon, not being able to control his thoughts or emotions. Nearly
seducing her body right there in front of Jaken and Rin.
And just the
thought of her body pressed against his and her writhing under his hands made
his eyes flutter close and his shaft stiffen.
He had to do something
about this quick. Either take her or decide to hell
with it and forget the whole experiment. If he didn’t get the picture of her
naked and moaning his name out of his head his control would slip and his beast
would decide for him, would mark her as his for eternity and then he’d really
be fucked, and not in just the literal sense.
He could smell
her even now. She smelled delicious and pure. He knew none had tainted her and
knew that if he did she would forever be dreaming of him. This made his ego swell
and a smirk grace his lips.
His body wanted
her, that was for sure, but he wouldn’t be who he was today if he let his body
rule.
He moved away
from the cliff and joined his pack. Rin and Kagome were snuggled together under
Kagome’s sleeping bag, only the black and brown of their heads sticking out.
Jaken lay sprawled out not too far away snoring loudly in front of Ah-Un who
stared at him with knowing, glowing eyes. Sesshomaru blinked at him before
leaning against the tree closest to the females. He watched them breathe slow
and deep and wondered what he was going to do.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome woke to
the sounds of laughter and smiled. She sniffed the air and it was clean and fresh
and she knew she was in the feudal era. She cracked open an eye to see the dim
haze of the morning sky. The air was crisp despite the summer season and
everything around her had been covered in dew. She really should invest in a
light weight tent.
She sat up and
looked to where Rin and Jaken were playing. Jaken looked annoyed but she could
see the amusement lighting his eyes as he chased the giggling Rin around the
clearing trying to get his cap back. Rin saw Kagome was awake and she quickly
changed her course to bow before her.
“Morning, Lady
Kagome!” She said with a smile.
“Morning, Rin.”
Kagome replied with her own grin. You simply couldn’t be unhappy around her.
Rin giggled and waved at her before she took off running again. Jaken came
gasping behind her. Kagome made sure she caught his eyes and nodded her head to
him.
“Morning,
Jaken.” She said plainly. Jaken sniffed haughtily but still inclined his head
before he took off again. Kagome smiled as he took off after the thieving girl.
It had taken a
long time but she had finally gotten Jaken to warm up to her. She was nothing
but kind to him and even stuck up for him with Sesshomaru trying to keep his
abuse to a minimum. He had never thanked her nor smiled at her but he
acknowledged her in a respectful way every morning.
She quickly got
up and rolled up her sleeping bag and stuck it in the pack Sesshomaru had
gotten for her since she had left hers with Inuyasha. She took out her
toothbrush and toothpaste that she had retrieved from her era after many arguments
with Sesshomaru. Since she had promised to bring him something he would enjoy
back from her era, he let her go.
She smiled when
she remember the day she had come back. He stood there above the well guarding
it to make sure Inuyasha didn’t come and bother her. She hadn’t seen her old
pack since she left though Sesshomaru had seen them several times. He kept her
from them and she was almost glad. She missed them but she didn’t want the
guilt it would cause.
She had jumped
back out of the well in her basic kimono to meet his stoic expression but
smiled at the frustrated line that barely etched itself in his forehead. Even
if he didn’t really show it he felt the same way about her leaving as Inuyasha,
only he couldn’t jump through the well after her.
She had smiled
at him and bowed low before him.
“Hello, Lord
Sesshomaru. How were things while I was away?”
“Fine.”
She straightened
and smiled at him again. “That’s wonderful.”
“So what did you
gather while you were through the portal?” He asked as nonchalantly as he
could. She smiled at him.
Truth be told
when she had made that promise she was just pulling it out of her ass. When she
had finally returned to her time she realized she had no idea what she was
going to get him. She curled up on her bed with a notebook and pen and sat
there with her legs crossed and her hand to her chin and brain stormed. She
thought as hard as she could, pondered clothing, utensils, cleaning supplies,
but he didn’t need any of that. He was the Lord of the West and he lacked for
nothing of his time. She sat there all night and only when the days first light
tipped over the horizon did she come up with an answer.
Kagome bent down
and removed a black box from her pack. She handed it over to Sesshomaru with a
smile. He merely gave his token raised eyebrow as he reached out and took the
box. He looked at it suspiciously.
Kagome laughed.
“Just open it already!” He glanced up at her with narrowed eyes. She watched
him press the box against his body, bracing it against his obi. He twisted his
hand slightly and flicked the top of the box off with his claw. She looked up
at him as he stared at the contents of the box. She was glad he wasn’t looking
at her because she knew he wouldn’t like the pity in her eyes.
She had
forgotten Inuyasha had taken his arm.
She stepped up
to him and took the box from his hand. She held it out for him to reach into.
He stared at it dubiously and she rolled her eyes at him.
“Just pick one
out.”
His nose
wrinkled as he sniffed the contents. “What are they?”
“They’re tasty,
now pick one out and eat it.”
His eyes flicked
to hers and she felt something flip. “Eat one?”
She sighed.
“Please, Sesshomaru? Just try one.” He merely blinked at her and she huffed.
“Don’t you trust me? Seriously, stop being such a baby and eat one!” Sesshomaru
narrowed his eyes at her then reached into the black box and pulled out
something long and multicolored. He stared at it as he squeezed it, sniffed it
and studied it from all sides.
“What is this?”
“I’ll tell you
after you eat it. I want to make sure you like it first.”
“It looks
vaguely familiar.”
Kagome bit her
cheek. “Just try it. If you don’t want to bite into it, just lick it. Only
that’s kinda lame and cheating.” She watched him dart out his tongue and lick
it. His eyes widened, though his face remained the same, as he let the flavor
dance over his taste buds. He stuck the whole thing in his mouth and chewed.
He furrowed his
brow. “It’s chewy.” He said in confusion. “What is it?”
“Tastes good,
yeah?” He nodded. “It’s called a gummi worm.” He stopped chewing and just
looked at her.
“You fed me a
worm?” The anger in his eyes was the only thing that let her bite back a laugh.
“No, no, no, no.
It’s not a real worm. It’s a type of
candy. It’s called a gummi worm
because it’s just in the shape of a worm, but it’s made out of gummi candy.” He
continued to stare at her. “Oh come on! It was good wasn’t it? Ugh, here. Would
I eat a real worm?” She dug into the box filled with different types of candies
and picked out another worm. She put it into her mouth and chewed. He watched
her until she swallowed and she even opened her mouth and lifted her tongue so
he could see she had actually swallowed it. He accepted the proof and looked
into the box.
“What is all
this?”
“These are a
bunch of different candies from my time. There’s gum, which you chew but don’t
swallow and it lets flavor into your mouth; jaw breakers, which are just small
candy balls that are really hard to chew through, you just have to suck on
them; there’s the gummi worms which you tried. I’ve also got gummi bears, gummi
spiders, gummi frogs and gummi brains (I thought that would amuse you). I
grabbed some pop rocks which snap in your mouth, sour patch kids which are just
sour then sweet gummi candies. I’ve also got laffy
taffy which is just this tasty, chewy candy that has jokes on the wrappers. Oh!
And I got some small boxes of nerds. These are tiny crunchy candies. I love
those the best.” She held the box out to him with a smile even though her belly
was a fit of butterflies as he just stared into the box.
She watched him
reach in and take one of the laffy taffy packages out
of the box. He looked at the package with curiosity then handed it to her. She
opened the package for him and handed it back. He put the taffy in his mouth and
bit into it. His eyebrow twitched as he pulled the taffy away trying to get it
to break. He quickly twisted his head and gnawed on the taffy and it broke
away. He chewed it and watched her.
“Well?”
She blinked at
him. “Well what?”
“What does the
wrapper say?”
“Uh, um…ok.”
Kagome fumbled the box a little as she turned the wrapper so she could read one
of the jokes. “Ahem, ‘What’s invisible and smells like
carrots?’” She looked up at him. “You gonna guess?” He merely raised an eyebrow
and she rolled her eyes at him. “Fine. ‘What’s
invisible and smells like carrots?’(pause) ‘Rabbit
farts!’” She looked up at him and saw the amusement in his eyes so she smiled.
“Not too bad, yeah?”
“I’m not
particularly one for jokes, but it wasn’t a failure. Come.” He turned from her
and began walking away. She quickly grabbed the top of the box and her pack and
caught up to him, smiling at him when she reached his side.
“The candy’s
ok?” He gave a slight nod. “Good! Because I was originally going to get you
chocolate, but then I remembered that chocolate’s bad for dogs but I didn’t
know if it would be for dog demons, but I didn’t want to chance making you sick
so I got the candy instead.”
He looked at her
out of the corner of his eye before turning his attention back to the road.
“The candy is acceptable.”
Kagome beamed. “Your welcome.”
That was when he
had first shown her kindness and let her see some emotions other than ice. He
had even helped her sneak into the village so she could leave a few presents
behind for her friends. She had left candy for Shippo, shampoos for Sango and Kaede, some chips for Miroku and, of course, ramen for
Inuyasha.
She didn’t want
to think if they’d get rid of them or not, but she wanted them to know that she
did still care for them even if she wasn’t with them.
Kagome pushed
herself out of her reverie. She finished brushing her teeth and turned to look
at her lord. Since that day he had shown her more and more kindness, not in any
big way, but in the small ways that Sesshomaru always did anything that wasn’t
stoic.
And then there
was yesterday.
He had touched
her, kissed her, held her. And she wanted him to do it
again. She had loved that feeling of comfort and just belonging even as her
stomach turned to acidic nervousness. But he hadn’t been himself. Something had
been wrong. And so she said his name and ruined it. He had pulled away with
barely a look and had remained fairly distant since then.
She figured his
beast had something to do with what happened and knew he was uncomfortable
about it. So she’d just have to show him that he had nothing to worry about,
nothing to fear because she wouldn’t push him or ask him to repeat it.
Kagome put on a
content smile and walked over to Sesshomaru after throwing her toothbrush and
paste on her pack. His eyes turned from the antics of Jaken and Rin to look at
her dispassionately. She merely smiled and bowed before him.
“Good morning,
Lord Sesshomaru. I assume the night was uneventful and pleasant?” Sesshomaru
gave her a slight nod as she rose. “That’s good.” She stood beside him and
turned to watch Rin stick her tongue out at Jaken right before she threw his
hat at him and took off cackling. It made her chuckle and feel
relaxed. She hadn’t felt this good since she first fell through the well and
had the first few weeks with Inuyasha.
Before Kikyo was reborn.
Sesshomaru
watched her bright smile fade into a depressed frown. She sighed and sat on the
ground, watching the show over her brought up knees. Sesshomaru found he didn’t
want that sadness and, deciding it was best not to find the reason why he cared,
sat beside her.
“Why do you
frown and sigh?”
Kagome shrugged.
“Just thinking again.”
“Thinking causes
you much grief. Maybe you should refrain from participating in that activity.”
A ghost of her
usual grin danced over her lips. “I don’t think I could shut my mind down like
that. I just need to learn not to care about it.” She turned her head and
rested it on her raised knees as she looked at him. “How do you remain so
impassive? I know you have feelings, but you never show them. How do you do
that?”
Sesshomaru
blinked. “Because I choose not to show emotions.”
Kagome’s face
scrunched up in confusion. “Just like that? You just
thought one day, ‘Emotions are lame, I think I’ll keep them to myself from now
on?’ How is that even possible?”
Sesshomaru
turned away from her. “Demon court is not a place where you can wear your
emotions on your sleeve. Everything you feel can be used against you. If you
are attached to something and someone stronger than you decides to hurt you,
they’ll destroy it. So unless you show no emotion, or at least have some sort
of mask to hide yourself, everything you care about, everything about who you
are will be destroyed or used as a weapon against you.”
Kagome did a
slow blink. That was probably the most he’d ever said to her in one sentence.
“So you became the ice king so nobody could use you against yourself?”
Sesshomaru slid
his gaze to her then away again. “Yes, you could say that.”
“Will I have to
be part of demon court?”
Sesshomaru shook
his head. “No, not in the sense you mean. Some political relation might show up
and court politics will be in play, but I would not willingly subjugate anyone
into that world unless it was necessary.”
“That’s good.”
She paused a moment. “When would it be necessary?”
“If we went to
war, if they called all of us to the court (which rarely happens since I am
high Lord of the West and only all three of the other corners together could
call me), or whoever I life mated with would be forced to join me in the
court.”
It made her
blush a little though she didn’t know why. “Will Rin be forced to join in?”
Sesshomaru
turned his version of confused eyes to her. “No, why would she?”
Kagome shrugged.
“She’s like your adopted pup, right? Wouldn’t any children of yours be forced
to partake in the courts politics?”
Sesshomaru
frowned. “She is my ward, not my pup.”
Kagome gave an un-lady like snort. “There’s a difference?” he narrowed
his eyes. “Look, all I’m saying is it seems like she’s your pup. You care for
her, protect her, clothe her and one day you’ll be the
one to pick her mate, right? Isn’t that the same thing a parent does for their
child?”
Sesshomaru did
something he rarely allowed himself to do, he sighed. “My beast agrees with
you, but I will deny it as long as I can so she doesn’t have to be pushed into
that world.” Kagome nodded even though she felt a strange elation inside. She
didn’t understand it so she just accepted it.
She looked up at
him and pondered something. She bit her lip while she thought and stared at his
face.
“Stop staring,
Kagome.” She continued to stare and bite her lip. Sesshomaru turned his head
and looked at her. “What?” She opened her mouth to speak then closed it and
shook her head. She seemed to be having a mental war with herself right before
her eyes flicked up at him with anticipation.
“I want to try
something.”
He raised an
eyebrow. “And that would be…?”
She crawled
closer to him. “I want to give you a thank you for being…the perfect alpha.”
She was about to say ‘so nice’ but decided he probably wouldn’t have liked
that. He merely stared at her and she rolled her eyes. “Don’t trust me?” They
stared at each other for a moment before he nodded. She gave a quick, elated
smile then moved over to his left side. She reached out to him and he moved
away.
She snarled at
him. “Oh, come on I don’t have cooties. Stay still.”
“I don’t know
what these cooties are but why must you touch this Sesshomaru?”
Kagome rolled
her eyes. “I thought we got over the whole third person thing. Just let me do
my thing and if you think I did wrong by you, you can punish me and I won’t
fight back, fair?” She took his eyebrow as a yes and reached out for the empty
sleeve.
His arm had
already started regenerating itself and was almost to the elbow. Kagome rolled
the sleeve up baring his amputated arm. The base was garish, twisted with scars
and regenerating skin. Kagome traced her fingers over the bump with one hand as
she traced the lines of his muscle with the other. She felt his aura and the
pattern of his flesh. She sent a small prayer to the Kami that the books she
had been reading were right, then opened the piece of
her that held her power.
She felt it warm
and swell inside her mind, momentarily turning everything a bright blue. She
closed her eyes and let her power flow into him. She felt he was about to move
so she shook her head and he stilled. She could almost hear his mind saying trust her she says, bah! as her power learned his flesh and mapped out the plans for
the healing.
She took a deep
breath then pushed her power into him, trying as hard as possible not to let
any purifying bits into the mix. She saw the arm in her minds eye and let her
power take over. Her eyelids burned and she knew that a bright light was coming
from her hands on his arm and no one could see what she was doing.
She felt the
bones grow and the muscle stitch together. She felt the blood flow and the skin
spread itself over the muscles. Her magic painted the flesh in a mirror of his
other arm then danced across the rest of his body lightening the depression of
other scars, though not removing them completely.
Her body felt
used and empty and a smile lay on her face as she swayed. Strong arms caught
her as she fell and she opened her eyes a slit to see Sesshomaru gaping in
shock. Kagome memorized his face as she giggled.
“Your welcome.” She held her own weight and leaned against a
handy tree. “I hope it’s ok. I’ve never done anything
like that before.” She watched him flip his arms one way then the next, bending
them at the elbows and flexing his hands and muscles.
“It’s exactly
the same strength it would be if I hadn’t lost it.” His awed voice made pride
well in her stomach.
“I hoped that’s
what would happen. All the markings in the right place?
Powers are the same and work fine?” Sesshomaru cracked his new fingers and let
a haze of poison drip from them. He flicked his wrist and created a poison whip
in midair.
“It’s perfect.”
He whispered as he looked at her. “It’s perfect.” Then he said the one thing he
thought he would never let himself say. “Thank you.” The bright smile she gave
him was worth it. “How did you know to do this?”
She gave a weary
shrug. “The books you gave me had bits and pieces about healing. Simple stuff like cuts and broken bones, how to mend them, how to
stitch them up with power. I figured if you could do that stuff, why not
meld it together and create new limbs? So I’ve been working my powers up so I
could return your arm to you.”
He stared at his
arm again. “But….why?” He felt her shrug.
“I helped take
it away, so I figured I could help bring it back. I know you’d have grown a new
one eventually, but I figure this would be better for you.”
Sesshomaru
nodded and looked back up at her. “This was kind. I will not forget this gift.”
She blushed and
looked down. “It was nothing.”
“No, this took a
lot of power and practice. Don’t belittle such a great deed.”
She smiled up at
him and was about to say something else until she got a look at his face. She
hadn’t realized how much he had warmed up to her until the moment she saw his
rigid control slip back over his features. His eyes died and every warm
movement of his body turned to ice.
She had already
moved into a defensive stance despite the drain. “What is it, what’s wrong?”
“Inuyasha found
us.”
“Damnit.” She felt her knees quake and wished he would come
back after she was stronger.
