“For Life”

“Do you ever have regrets?”
Lord Sesshomaru shifted his eyes to the miko. She was laying next to the fire on her side, head propped up on her arm. Flames crackled in her eyes as she gazed into the blaze. His eyes briefly went to Rin, who was sleeping in that thing Kagome called a 'sleeping bag' before looking away.
It was late. They'd been searching Inuyasha's Forest for nearly three weeks and had only come across minor youkai who fled at the feel of his aura. No human females had been seen. He was beginning to doubt the old crone's rune prophecy. Perhaps she really had gone mad after all. The thought depressed him – the idea of ending his long search for his mate had been intoxicating, and the fact that maybe it wasn't to be both infuriated and saddened him. His father had been mated to his mother by the time he was Sesshomaru's age. Not one to be outdone, it grated on his nerves to know he hadn't achieved that feat.
“Sesshomaru?” Snapping his attention away from that line of thought, the daiyoukai sighed inaudibly.
“This Sesshomaru does feel regret.”
“Nothing?” Amber eyes seared into her blue ones.
“Only that he brought you along.” Her jaw dropped at the iciness of his tone. She glared.
“Well you haven't exactly been a ball of joy to be around.” He raised an eyebrow at her, his face as emotionless as ever. Kagome felt anger bubbling furiously in her heart. She's had enough of his aloofness and seeming superiority. She jumped to her feet, but kept her voice low. “I've kept my mouth shut these past three weeks while you led us around in circles, looking for some woman who may or may not even exist, all because a witch told you so! I thought you of all people would be smart enough to realize when you've been duped.”
“As this Sesshomaru said previously, the witch has been correct on several occasions.”
“Have you even stopped to consider that maybe, just maybe, this isn't one of those times?” He didn't like the tone she was taking.
“You will show the respect due to one such as this Sesshomaru.”
“I do respect you, but right now, you're sounding like an idiot. At least Inuyasha had a healthy does of skepticism concerning this sort of thing, and he was a hanyou.” Crossing her arms under her breasts, she turned away, not seeing the daiyoukai glare amber daggers at her back. Silently, she marveled at herself. Never before would she dare to speak this way to Inuyasha's brother, or even consider calling him an idiot. Now, however, with the loss of almost everything she'd ever known or cared about, it didn't seem to matter. She needed to get her fury out.
“Remember your place, wench.” The though to killing her for her insolence entered then quickly exited his brain. It wouldn't do for Rin to wake up and see her beloved near-sister in bits around their fire. He'd have to resort to words.
“Why am I here?” she almost screeched. “Rin is perfectly capable of taking care of herself while you travel. We both know you've taught her to be independent. If anything, you could have had Jaken take her back to your castle or palace or wherever the hell it is you live, but no! You come barging into my life, demanding that I go with you to play nursemaid!” Once again, he raised an eyebrow, yet inside he was almost awed by this little human female. Her fire called to him on a deeper level than he thought possible. Despite her unfortunate circumstance of being born a human, there was something about this miko that intrigued him.
“With the hanyou gone, what other choice was there for you?” He stared into her eyes, ignoring the fact that she held the dominant position.
“I don't know!” His cool attitude was extinguishing her ire. Shoulders slumped, Kagome sighed and moved to sit next to him, close enough so that they were almost rubbing shoulders. Her scent of juniper and rose filled his nose, choking his brain. Her blue eyes looked troubled, burdened with a weight he couldn't begin to describe or understand.
"You're right. I thought - hoped, Inuyasha would be my everything after we finished the Shikon Jewel. I never really gave any thought to what might happen if he chose Kikyo instead. I guess I was too focused on my own desires for once to notice." Kagome discretely wiped away a stray tear. Turning her head, she looked up at the daiyoukai next to her. Her breath hitched in her chest. He was looking right at her, and he actually seemed to be seeing her, maybe for the first time. Before he averted his gaze, Kagome thought she detected a hint of...what?
They sat in silence for several minutes after that. The miko toyed with a loose shoelace, not bothering to adjust it. Through her clothes she could feel the incredible heat Sesshomaru was giving off, and wondered if he was alright. His face almost looked - pained, if the daiyoukai could be said to look like he felt anything.
"This Sesshomaru has searched for his mate for almost three hundred years," he began softly. He didn't understand why he felt the need to explain all this to her. He never gave anyone a reason for his actions. Yet with her, it felt wrong to keep something from her. "Each time he went to the witch, he was informed that his mate had yet to be found. This time was different. He was told that she had flourished. Naturally, this Sesshomaru set out to find her." His voice grew softer. "Maybe you are right. Maybe she isn't out there at all. Perhaps the witch sent this Sesshomaru on a fool's errand, taking delight in his loneliness."
Without thinking, Kagome reached up and touched his face. The action startled both of them into stillness. Under her fingers, his face felt like satin. Unconsciously one of her digits traced the maroon stripes on his cheeks, marveling at their silkiness. His flesh was so hot she was amazed her skin didn't melt off. Her heart beat hard against her breastbone. Inuyasha's fact never felt like this; his was harder, roughened by the elements and his hardships. Forcefully, she turned her thoughts from the inu-hanyou. It didn't feel right to be thinking of him like this when she was so close to Sesshomaru. She wondered at herself.
"If it's really meant to be," she said gently, "then she really is out there, somewhere. Maybe she's looking for you, too. Perhaps she's driven to find you out of her own loneliness." Before she could stop herself or even wanted to, she'd leaned up, and planted a soft kiss on his lips.
At first, the miko felt unimaginatively foolish for doing such a thing with the daiyoukai. He'd surely hack her head off for committing such an offense against his most important person! She went to pull back until Sesshomaru started kissing her back. It was innocent to begin with, simple pecks here and there, determining the direction it would take. Sesshomaru growled low in his chest, picking her up with ease and settling her on his lap, having her straddle him while he leaned against a tree for support.
He'd been as stunned by her actions as she had, then his instinct had taken over. Human or not, this felt so right to him that he couldn't fight it. Her lips were velvet against his, her scent spiking with arousal and surprise spurring him on. He wanted to devour her whole.
The daiyoukai held her face tenderly in his hands, nipping at her lips and chin. She gasped softly at the feel of his teeth on her flesh, unconcerned with the fact that, if he so chose, he could have ripped her throat out with ease. Intertwining her small fingers in his luscious hair, she tugged on it slightly, earning an approving growl. He made soft noises in the back of his throat whenever his lips touched her heated skin. He licked along her lips, begging entrance, and she allowed it. The taste of her nearly sent him over the edge. It was like fresh mountain water rushing down a mountain, and he was so thirsty. He toyed with her tongue, letting her taste him in return. Kagome marveled. A sweet, spicy taste danced around her tongue. She couldn't identify it, yet she lusted for more.
A stray hand found her breast through her shirt as he trailed kisses down her throat. Kagome bit back a moan, not wanting to wake Rin. Her thoughts on the sleeping child were shut off when Sesshomaru pinched her nipple. Without remembering how they got there, she found her hands inside his own kimono, tracing the contours of his collarbone and the muscles on his chest. Her face flushed red when, as she adjusted herself to a more comfortable position, she felt his hard-on press against her.
"Sesshomaru..." she breathed, kissing along his face. "We can't do this with Rin around...I don't think I can..." He didn't respond, and for that she was glad. She already felt dumb enough for speaking at all, but she felt that point had to be made. The idea of Rin waking up and seeing them doing that would surely traumatize the little girl.
At the juncture between her neck and her shoulder, Sesshomaru buried his face. Here her scent seemed strongest, and he wished to douse himself in it. It flooded his mind, ignited his passion and called to his inner beast. He planted a soft kiss there, before sinking his teeth deep into her flesh, desperate to find the source of her smell.
Instantly he felt her stiffen, and he tightened his arms around her shaking form. Sesshomaru didn't know why he marked her, only that he had, and he wasn't about to let her get away. He'd searched too long for his mate and ...
Wait, mate?!
Sesshomaru nearly pushed her from his person in his haste to stand, unconcerned about the blood flowing down his chin from her wound. The wound he'd inflicted. The wound that was already healing in the form of a mating mark that all would identify as belonging to the Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Land.
"What the hell, Sesshomuru!" Kagome yelled, forgetting Rin for the moment. He'd bitten her! She'd trusted him enough to kiss him, and he freakin' bit her! Outrage quickly turned into shock. The hurt was fading rapidly, and a new awareness formed in her mind. It was like a ball was suddenly in her brain, jumbling and undulating with emotions she didn't recognize. A gust of foul smelling wind whipped her hair around her face. Sesshomaru's silver locks flowed like water about him. Blue eyes wide with anger and confusion, she stared at the inu-youkai. "You-you bit me."
"It appears that the great Moon dog has finally found his mate," came a creaking voice from behind her. Spinning, she felt more than heard Sesshomaru's growl at the new comer. An old crone, hunched and weathered, stared at them from the depths of her hood. Burning red eyes glinted with intentions Kagome didn't want to identify gazed at them in amusement.
"Moon dog? What?" Her mind felt so fuzzy.
"Ai." The robed figure clapped her gnarled hands, her grin, surprisingly filled with white sparkling teeth, was easily seen in the cowl. "Mated. For life."
