Chapter 5: The Need For Understanding

A/N: Kikyo agrees to return to Sesshomaru�s palace in the Western lands. It is there that she begins to wonder why the cold demon lord had shown her such kindness. Will he allow her to understand his strange behavior? Hope this chapter is good and I am currently working on the next addition. So enjoy and I still do not own Inuyasha.
Kikyo�s brown eyes kept darting back to Sesshomaru�s regal form as they padded through Inuyasha�s Forest in the direction of the demon lord�s palace in the Western lands. Much of the journey had been made in silence. Kikyo did not really know how to keep a conversation flowing with Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru simply was not one to make friendly conversation.
She stole another glance at the stoic demon lord and was shocked when she realized he had caught her. His pools of molten amber burned into her chocolate pools intensely making her look to the ground quickly. Sesshomaru smirked inwardly as he noticed the small blush that crept up Kikyo�s milk white neck until it reached her cheeks. �Is there something you wish to speak with me about priestess?�
�I uh....no not really.�
�You lie, there is something on your mind or else you wouldn�t keep looking at me every few moments.�
She opened her mouth to argue but then closed it quickly making him chuckle. �Alright, I do have a question.�
�Go on.�
�What will you do now?�
�I shall go back to my palace and tend to my affairs there. What will you do now that Tsubaki has been defeated and my brother has openly declared his love for you reincarnation?�
�I haven�t decided but I cannot stay in that village.�
�Where will you go?� She shrugged her shoulders. The two remained silent for a long while until Sesshomaru cleared his throat. �Since you have no place to go, perhaps you would consider staying at my palace in the Western lands?�
�Are you inviting me to live in your palace Sesshomaru?�
�If you do not want to you do not have to. It was merely an invitation.� Kikyo smiled at the normally cold demon lord.
�Thank you Sesshomaru, I will gladly accept your invitation.�
�Very well, then it�s settled.� Kikyo then threw her arms around the inu youkai�s waist and squeezed him tightly. Sesshomaru stood stock still and did not wrap his arms around the small priestess.
This kind of affection was strange and uncomfortable to him so he remained rigid in her embrace. When Kikyo tightened her hold on Sesshomaru�s waist it made him panic. The demon lord abruptly pushed the priestess away and glared down at her with icy amber eyes. �What are you doing priestess?�
Kikyo looked up at him with fear filled brown eyes. �Nothing, I was just hugging you.�
�What for?�
�To thank you for your generosity.�
�A simple thank you will suffice, I do not like to be touched.�
�I�m sorry, I didn�t mean to upset you.�
�I am a demon and I find your human emotions to be ridiculous and quite nauseating.� Kikyo nodded silently and looked away from Sesshomaru so he would not see the tears brimming in her chocolate eyes. Semarumaru frowned when his sensitive nose picked up the salty scent of Kikyo�s tears. �Why are you crying Kikyo?�
�I thought you didn�t care about my ridiculous human emotions?�
�I don�t but why are you crying?�
�Your callous words sting Sesshomaru. I am not as cold hearted as you, I am much more mindful of my feelings.�
�It�s no one�s fault but your own that you are weak and unable to guard your feelings.� Kikyo blinked and felt more tears slip out of the corners of her eyes. �Cease that infernal crying, it solves nothing!�
Sesshomaru�s callous words made her eyes burn with fresh tears. �Why must you be so cruel?�
�It is just who I am.�
�Well must you treat me so callously?�
�Do you want me to apologize for hurting your feelings?�
�Only if you�re sincerely sorry.� He snorted at her words.
�Well then I suppose I won�t be apologizing because I�m not sorry.� He watched as Kikyo folded her arms tightly over her breasts and widened the distance between them. �Aou tou trying to ignore me Kikyo?�
�No, I simply don�t wish to speak to you right now.�
�As you wish. We�re nearing the palace.� She nodded but did not respond to him. The two walked up the dirt path until they reached a large white stone wall. Kikyo stood behind Sesshomaru and waited for him to open the lock on the wrought iron door that stood in front of them. Opening the door Sesshomaru reached for Kikyo�s hand to lead her inside the palace walls.
She shied away from his reach and strode in ahead of him. The inu youkai gave a low growl in slight annoyance. Kikyo walked ugh ugh the large open courtyard to the front of a beautiful white stone palace. Sesshomaru followed her inside quickly. She was just about halfway across the foyer when his large hand closed around her slender arm.
He yanked her back over to him roughly causing her to stumble. Sesshomaru caught Kikyo in his arms and turned her around to face him. �You will not ignore me wench! This is my home and I am the lord of this estate!�
�Then let me go and I shall leave you be!�
�To go where? You have no place to go Kikyo!� Her brown eyes filled with fresh tears as she looked up into Sesshomaru�s golden eyes.
�You heartless monster!�
�It�s the truth and you simply wish to ignore it. You cannot go back to the village or to Inuyasha! My brother will not have you, there is no place for you in his life!� Kikyo lifted her hand and moved to strike Sesshomaru across the face. He easily caught her small wrist in his hand stopping her attack.
�You bastard!�
�You�re angry because you know it�s the truth.�
�Let go of me!�
�Why, so you can run away?�
�Maybe.�
�Nonsense, I�ll take you upstairs and you can take a bath. How does thatnd?�nd?�
�What�s in it for you?�
�Nothing. I invited you to live in my palace. Now let me show you the bath chambers?�
�Alright.� Sesshomaru led Kikyo upstairs to the bath chambers. The room was large and the floors were white marble. In the center of the room was a large marble furo. On the far wall of the bath chambers was a large cherry wood armoire with a smooth pewter handle.
�You may bathe here. The water always stays warmed by the hot spring water that feeds into it.�
�Thank you. What will I wear?�
�There are some white yukatas in the armoire against that wall and on the bottom shelf there are some folded linens to dry yourself after your bath.� The demon lord left Kikyo to undress in privacy. She stripped out of her priestess robes that were now stained with her dried blood from her battle with Tsubaki.
Kikyo padded lightly over to the marble furo and eased her naked body into the warm water. She bathed quickly and used a linen to dry her damp skin. Then she pulled on one of the crisp white yukatas and tied it closed with an obi. The priestess padded back downstairs to find Sesshomaru sitting in the den in front of the large white stone fireplace.
He acknowledged her without bothering to turn and look at her. �Did you enjoy your bath?�
�I did thank you.�
�You�re welcome, you may come sit with me by the fire if you wish to warm yourself.�
�That would be nice.� The priestess and the inu youkai sat in silence as they stared into the flickering flames of the fire. After a while they realized it was getting late and decided to retire. Sesshomaru showed Kikyo an unoccupied room next to his own chambers.
�You may stay in this room, no one uses it. My chambers is right next to it in case you need anything.�
�Thank you Sesshomaru.�
�You�re welcome. There are a few sleeping kimonos in the armoire if you wish to change.�
�Yes I will.�
�Well then I shall say goodnight.�
�Goodnight Sesshomaru.� Sesshomaru closed the door behind him as he left her chambers. Kikyo quickly changed into one of the sleeping kimonos. It was thin and ivory colored and came to rest at the middle of her thighs. Kikyo pulled back the thick sage green blanket and climbed into the large wrought iron canopy styled bed. Her tired brown eyes closed immediately and she fell asleep.
The days flew by and before Kikyo realized it she had been staying at Sesshomaru�s palace for nearly two whole months. He was still somewhat cold and reserved but not nearly as bad. Kikyo had noticed that the demon lord had been being much more kind to her as of late.
That morning she was awakened by one of the palace servants. �Milady?� Kikyo stirred and opened her eyes.
�Yes?�
�Lord Sesshomaru asked that you come downstairs into the sitting room.�
�Why?�
�He has a gift for you milady.�
�I�ll be down right away.� The servant nodded and bowed before leaving. Kikyo was so anxious to find out what Sesshomaru�s gift was that she didn�t bother to put on her white silk robe over her thin ivory sleeping kimono. She ran downstairs wearing only the thin ivory sleeping kimono.
Running across the foyer she stopped just outside the large wooden doors of the sitting room to compose herself. Kikyo smoothed out the wrinkles in her sleeping kimono and entered the sitting room. �You wanted to see me Sesshomaru?�
�Yes Kikyo, come sit. I have something for you.� Kikyo padded over to the small sofa and sat down. Sesshomaru grabbed a large object wrapped in black silk. He handed it to Kikyo and watched her untie the silk ribbon. She unfolded the silk and found the most beautiful kimono she had ever seen inside it.
�Oh Sesshomaru!� The kimono was made of silk and was the most beautiful shade of emerald green she had ever seen before. It had a pattern of sakura blossoms in white around the cuffs of the sleeves and the bottom hem. The obi was solid white and made of silk as well.
�Do you like it?�
�Yes, it�s lovely! Thank you.�
�You�re welcome.�
�Why did you give me this?�
�There is a banquet that is held every year around this time. All of the lords and ladies from neighboring territories attend it.�
�I see.�
�I wish for you to accompany me to this summer banquet Kikyo. Will you?�
�Yes I would be honored!�
�Good. The banquet is in two weeks. You shall wear something presentable?�
�I�ll wear this kimono.�
�Very well.� Kikyo smiled to him as she took the kimono upstairs to her chambers. She felt incredibly giddy with the thought of accompanying Sesshomaru to the banquet. Kikyo decided that she wanted to bathe and gathered a simple light blue yukata that had black stitching on the sleeves and the bottom hem as well as on the obi.
She padded into the bath chambers and stopped short when she saw Sesshomaru sitting in the furo. Her brown eyes swept across his chiseled chest and down his lean stomach. The water sat dangerously low on Sesshomaru�s hips allowing her to see the clean and clearly defined lines of them. She swallowed nervously as she felt the place between her thighs tingle.
Sesshomaru�s amber eyes snapped open and he saw Kikyo standing there staring at him. �Did you need something Kikyo?�
�Oh no, I didn�t know you were in here! I�m sorry!� Sesshomaru watched as Kikyo raced back to her room quickly. Back in her room she leaned against the door. �Oh Kami, I can�t believe that just happened! Why did I stare at him like that? Because he�s so beautiful!� She frowned when she felt the place between her thighs tingle and ache.
Kikyo squeezed her thighs together and whimpered as the heat surged through her. Although it felt good, it did little to quell her desire. Kikyo placed her yukata onto her bed and sat down next to it. She pushed her sleeping kimono up past her hips and spread her thighs. Kikyo slid her hand up between her legs until she brushed her center with her fingertips.

She shivered and then slipped a finger into her tight passage. Kikyo began pumping her finger inside her body and could feel a knot beginning to form in the pit of her stomach.
She began raising her hips to meet the thrusting of her slender finger. Her head tilted back and her eyes slipped closed when her orgasm surged through her body. Her mouth fell open and she cried out the demon lord�s name before she could stop herself. �Sesshomaru!�
The inu youkai heard Kikyo�s cry and he pulled on a robe quickly. Sesshomaru raced down the hallway until he reached Kikyo�s chamber door. He was about to open the door when his sensitive nose picked up a familiar but slightly unfamiliar scent. He cocked his head to one side and sniffed curiously. The scent of fresh rain and summer sun assaulted his nose.
That was Kikyo�s scent but when he sniffed again he noticed that her scent was mingled with that of desire. His amber eyes glistened with interest at the thought of Kikyo being aroused. Had she been aroused by thinking of him? Inside Kikyo�s room she sat dumbfounded by the fact that she had cried out for Sesshomaru at the peak of her release. �Why would I call out his name? Am I beginning to care for the demon lord? Surely not, this is absurd!� Kikyo then pictured the handsome inu youkai in the furo once more and she felt a tinge of heat sweep through her body. Blushing she quickly banished her lustful thoughts from her mind. Kikyo couldn�t deny that Sesshomaru had been very kind to her as of late and she was definitely enjoying his attention. Perhaps she would just allow fate to decide her future. If Sesshomaru cared for her then he would come to her.
