Chapter 6
Inuyasha’s deranged mind struggled to comprehend what was happening. His body throbbed all over, but his panic-stricken head could only swirl with confusion as his legs suddenly collapsed from under him. He struggled to rise again, but his body was shutting down, and he only succeeded in thrashing around like a chicken with its head cut off. Finally he stopped struggling, face down in the dirt, his labored breathing blew a shallow pit in the soft dirt in front of his face. His wounds changed the dry dirt around him into sticky red puddles.
As he grew quiet and calmed, his feral side finally receded leaving his swollen, bloody eyes with irises that were again golden. He whimpered softly, as he shallowly drew the now abundant scent of Kagome into his nose. “Ka… go… me…” he whispered painfully as his eyes closed and unconsciousness finally overcame him.
* * *
Kagome was so overjoyed to be with her family again. They dropped everything they’d planned and all went out together. She didn’t explain exactly what had happened, where she had been all this time, but instead told them that she had a lot of problems that she still needed to resolve, and that she may not be able to return in a long time once again. But all that aside, she’d been wonderfully relieved to be home again and after the long, active day she got home and crawled into her wonderfully comfortable bed. She felt like she’d died and gone to heaven.
Before she’d fallen asleep she had wondered about keeping her promise… Sure, she and Sesshoumaru had made a lot of progress since the beginning, but… this was the place she belonged… wasn’t it? ‘But what about Inuyasha and the others…’ she thought, ‘will he hurt them if I don’t return…? And what about Naraku? I can’t abandon my task… I still have to stop him from attaining the Shikon no Tama.” She sighed in defeat and rolled onto her side, deciding that she didn’t want to think anymore and soon fell deeply asleep.
* * *
The next morning found Kagome gathering some supplies and sitting down to eat with her family one last time before heading out to the well house. She sighed as she walked down the stairs toward the haunting wooden structure. She turned and waved goodbye to her family as they had come to see her off, then she hurriedly hopped over the side of the well and into the other world. Her eyes grew wide as she almost didn’t believe the glance she’d seen before being engulfed in the well’s powers. “Inuyasha?”
As the hanyou was engulfed in the well’s light and Kagome’s gorgeous voice reached his ears his eyes shot open just in time to see them both arriving back in his era.
There was a moment of confusion between them as Inuyasha sat up on his elbows with bloody, but wondrous eyes. Kagome noted that he was terribly injured, but at the same time she was astonished that it was even him. She cried out his name as she flung herself into his arms, tears rapidly finding her eyes. The half-breed’s sore arms encircled her slender form as he gave an unsteady sigh, blinking back the water in his own eyes, “Kagome.” He uttered gently resting his chin on her shoulder.
“I thought I’d never see you again,” she cried, turning her head into his snowy hair.
The hanyou opened his mouth to respond, but his breath was stolen as he saw an ominous figure appear behind her, “Kagome!”
Sesshoumaru grabbed the girl by her backpack and jerked her off of the pup. She cried in surprise and swiftly turned to see who was behind her, her eyes widening as she did, “Sesshoumaru!”
He snarled as the hanyou tried to get to his feet, but the demon lord harshly pushed him back down, “Don’t get up.” He said with a dripping poison in his voice, “This reunion is over.” and with that he leapt from the well, Kagome in hand.
“No! Sesshoumaru please! Please just a few minutes! He’s hurt! Please let me help him.” She cried desperately and was answered by his angry snarl as he increased his speed.
“Kagome!” Inuyasha screamed desperately as he clambered weakly out of the well mouth. “Kagome!” He fell flat on his face as he tried to follow the demon lord and his best friend. “KAGOME!!!”
“Inuyasha!” the miko cried as she reached over the Daiyoukai’s shoulder toward the shrinking sight of her companion’s crippled form. “Inuyasha…” she uttered as she began to cry harder, her small hands clutching the demon lord’s kimono tightly before she hid her face in the fur of his mokomoko, sobbing hard into it.
The youkai’s stern features wavered for a moment as he glanced at the miko’s shuddering form. He almost regretted his actions, but pushed the weak thought aside, knowing this was the only way to keep her safely at his side. She would recover soon enough, even if she was angry with him, she would still be with him, and that’s all that mattered. Although… Inuyasha knew she was in his presence now… the mongrel would undoubtedly bee seeking him from here on out. This had been a bad idea…
Kagome’s sobbing lessened as they continued onward. It was then she noticed something… lifting her hand from his shoulder she saw it was covered in sticky blood. A realization dawned on her… “It was you…” His firm eyes turned toward her, “Put me down! Put me down right now!” She screamed as she began to kick and squirm like a worm on a hook.
Sesshoumaru landed and put the girl down and no sooner than he did she slapped him right across the face, “You bastard! You promised me you wouldn‘t fight him!”
The demon lord was shocked that she had actually struck him, even though it hadn’t hurt that much.
“You bastard! You… You bastard!” She screamed as she fell to her knees, quickly burying her face in her hands as the sobs resurfaced.
After a short awkward silence he spoke gently, “I did what was necessary to keep you where you belong. If you are angry with me, then so be it. I had no choice.”
“Are you telling me you did this to protect me?” She practically growled out. “Inuyasha would never hurt me!”
“I never said he would. But one must protect that which belongs to him… otherwise it’s liable to be stolen.”
* * *
As the sun grew low in the scarlet sky, Kagome continued to drag her feet behind the demon lord. If he was annoyed at her slow pace he didn’t voice any objections, he simply paused to wait for her to catch up. But now it was growing dark and as she caught up this time he didn’t continue on, but instead gave his usual command that they were going to bed down for the night and went about collecting wood for a fire. Kagome sat on a small rock and set her backpack beside her. She pulled her knees into her chest and hugged them firmly. She felt horrid in more ways than one. How could he be so gentle and caring but… disregard her trust so much… She was feeling regret. Why had he betrayed her… why had she ever trusted him to begin with? Her head hurt and she didn’t want to think about it anymore.
“Inuyasha… I’m so sorry…” she muttered as she put her head on her knees and closed her exhausted eyes.
* * *
It wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that Kagome awoke to Sesshoumaru’s smooth, familiar voice droning in her ears. It hurt. Her head felt like it was about to implode and she felt terribly hot and sticky. Her eyes fluttered open to see the demon lord’s furrowed face looming over her. She moaned aloud as she attempted to sit up, but failed miserably before the demon lord pushed her back down to her former position.
“Kagome, you little fool, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” He growled sounding more than a bit forced.
Kagome only managed a faint groan as her head lolled to the side.
The youkai wasted little time as he gathered her up and hastily rushed her to the nearest body of water. They arrived within minutes and Sesshoumaru waded right in fully clothed and submerged the girl’s body in the cool water. He gently combed his wet hand over her scalp, cupping handfuls of water to wash over her head and face. Kagome gasped at the sudden coolness surrounding her and the gently stroking hand on her forehead.
After a few moments her eyes fluttered open to see the golden orbs of the demon lord gazing down upon her with unbridled concern creasing his brow. She was in a daze momentarily, but as she began to realize her surroundings she was suddenly upset, “W…What are you doing! Put me down!” She cried out as she shoved at his chest, with a sudden burst of energy.
Sesshoumaru did not release her, however, he tightened his grip and he grew stern, “You stupid girl! You could have died!”
Kagome’s head was throbbing and her emotions were on the roller coaster of their life, “Shut up! What do you care! Y-y-you don’t care about me! You just want me to be miserable! I regret everything I did with you!” She broke down at this. The tears came and she turned her face away as much as she could to hide her face from him. “You’re the same monster you always were…”
Sesshoumaru’s lips tightened and he grew very quiet. His eyes wondered away for a moment as the miko in his arms cried softly. “I didn’t mean to…” he uttered incoherently under his breath.
Kagome turned slightly towards him demanding a harsh “What?”
“I said I didn’t mean to hurt you.” He repeated a bit louder. “I did what had to be done. It wasn’t my intention to hurt you.”
“Well you did… because you don’t give a damn! I specifically asked you not to fight Inuyasha before I left, and you did it anyways! How am I supposed to ever believe you again? I trusted you…” she said as she stared at the Taiyoukai’s face with watery eyes.
The demon lord stared at the miko’s distressed features for a moment before he answered, “I had little choice. If I had let him through he would have taken you from me… It had to be done.”
The miko quietly gazed upon the youkai’s solemn face her anger receding, “You’re so selfish…”
“I’m sorry… I betrayed your trust…”
Kagome sighed, her hand finding her forehead, “I… understand now.”
With that said Sesshoumaru tromped out of the water, Kagome in hand, “Your fever has dropped a bit… I’ll take you back now.”
* * *
Kagome awoke late the next day to the cool hand of the demon lord stroking through her hair. She opened her chocolaty eyes and found him kneeling before her, calling her name softly.
“Kagome. I brought you something to eat. Sit up.” Came his calm, deep voice.
At first Kagome wondered why he was being so gentle but then when she moved to sit up her head suddenly felt like it she’d slept under a boulder. “Oh my head…” she muttered as she steadied herself with her hands.
“Your fever hasn’t broken yet.” He said as he handed her a stick with a cooked fish on it.
Kagome took it, not really feeling very hungry, but deciding she should probably try to eat anyways. “Thank you…” she muttered
The demon lord then pulled out, what appeared to be, a weed from his sleeve, “Also, chew on this.” He said as he handed it to her.
The miko stared at it for a second before making a puzzling face at him “Why?”
“It will help bring your fever down,” he said simply.
Deciding the fish looked more appetizing than the weed did she started on that first. As much as it looked like a normal cooked fish, it tasted horrible… she blamed it on Sesshoumaru’s bad culinary skills. After a few bites of the blandest fish she’s ever tasted she broke off one of the leaves on the plant and began to chew on it as the demon lord had instructed her to. It was so foul tasting she wanted to gag. She hated medicine for that reason. Why couldn’t sugar be medicine -or candy- or anything that tasted good! She sighed in defeat and switched back to the less horrible tasting fish that Sesshoumaru had so generously cooked for her.
* * *
By mid afternoon Kagome was feeling close to 100 percent. Whatever that plant was, she was impressed. They decided to get a bit of traveling done before dark, and Sesshoumaru was kind enough to carry her. The miko was still angry with him, so the conversation was strictly limited, however she was enjoying the cool breeze as the scenery flew past her. ‘He makes a good vehicle if nothing else,’ she chuckled to herself.
As darkness descended the Taiyoukai finally stopped, sensing Kagome was getting tired, despite sleeping most of the morning hours.
“We’ll rest here.” He said evenly as he set her down and moved off to ready the chosen site.
Kagome was a bit surprised, actually. There was an open area in the side of the cliff face that formed an intricate cave that extended beyond what she could see from her current position. She imagined if she ventured deep into the caves and caverns she would probably find big crystals and emeralds lining the rock walls… well she imagined as much… she’d probably get lost and step in bat shit or something with her luck. She sighed and rummaged through her belongings for her brush and sat down to comb out her tangles as the crickets sang for the arrival of night.
Sesshoumaru built a fire near the front of the cave, focusing intently on the task. After he was satisfied he turned to find the miko’s thoughtful eyes staring at him. She didn’t bother to hide the fact that she was watching him. As he returned her gaze she slowly lowered her eyes and turned back toward the singing forest brushing her hair absently.
The demon lord frowned ever so slightly before he finally made his way over and knelt down behind her, stopping her hand gently before he took the brush and combed it through her ebony locks.
She was a little startled at first but calmed instantly… he was trying to make up for what he’d done… but Kagome was having doubts… doubts about him, and herself. Doubts about what she had allowed to happen between them. Doubts about what would now happen if Inuyasha pursued her… or if he would even be okay at all. It had been so long living under Sesshoumaru’s rule, although she was his prisoner, she’d grown so accustomed to it, it didn’t even seem like a priority anymore. It just was… She didn’t hate him as she used to, but how could she ever trust him?
If she had a choice she would almost certainly choose to be gone from him for the rest of her days… wouldn’t she? He’d brought her nothing but grief… even the pleasure he’d shared with her now caused her turmoil. So why was it that she couldn’t bring herself to hate him like she used to. It was so simple back then; clear as crystal. He was the bad guy… but now why were the lines so blurry and distorted?
She’d been so lost in thought she barely noticed when his repetitive brushing stopped.
“Kagome” His deeply soothing voice drifted to her ears. “What is it that distracts you so?”
The miko’s eyes opened a hair wider as her mind came back to the present and she saw him move to sit beside her. His warm hand moved her silky hair from her cheek as he watched her intently. She turned away from the gesture, feeling her chest tighten with the swell of feelings battling inside of her.
Sesshoumaru’s mouth fell open for a brief second as she withdrew from him. He returned the hand to his lap and turned his face away from her, She was still angry with him. She had every right to be, but still he wished she would forgive him already. She’d said she understood why he’d done it… wasn’t that forgiveness…? Perhaps not... Surely the words uttered in her feverish anger the night before was not how she really felt. To regret what they’d shared together… He wasn’t good with this sort of thing, and he’d never needed to be in the past. Why was this little miko affecting him in such a way that he’d want to change the way he was… Why did her anguish upset his sturdy demeanor? Was this what his Father had gone through with Inuyasha’s mother? Was he going to fall into the same perilous chasm his father had tripped at? He sighed in frustration and rose to his feet.
“The night grows shorter, and tomorrow remains. I’m going to sleep; I suggest you do the same.” He said blandly as he walked past the flickering fire and settled down against the cave wall, closing his honey eyes and leaning his head back, appearing somewhat annoyed as he did so.
* * *
As the night passed the fire grew dim, yet Sesshoumaru’s golden eyes remained open watching the peacefully sleeping girl. Kagome turned onto her side, her eyes flickering open for a moment as she tried to get comfortable. Then she saw him in the darkness and gasped in surprise, nearly jumping right out from her blanket. She looked at him as he stared right back at her, and a feeling of uneasiness creped over her. What was he thinking? She could almost see the wheels in his mind turning through his eyes.
Then he stood and walked over to her. She began to sit up but his hand halted her and pressed her back down to the matt. “It’s fine, Kagome.” he said softly.
“What are you doing?” she said feeling nervous suddenly.
He didn’t reply then, but instead laid himself down beside her, spooning her into his front as he nuzzled her hair.
Kagome grew tense and slightly annoyed, “I’m still mad at you.” she groused though did not immediately pull away.
The demon lord exhaled closing his eyes before he settled a soft kiss on the side of her neck, then another, and another. The traveled higher as the hand holding her against his front moved up to stroke her cheek.
Kagome had her arms pulled in tightly to her chest and her brow was drawn low in a frown. ‘stop it.’ she wanted to say, but the words wouldn’t come. The words she’d said earlier echoed through her mind… and his as well.
‘I regret everything I did with you!’
His gentle hand turned her face toward him, and he took her lips in a kiss that seemed almost desperate as it was tender.
‘I regret everything I did with you!’
She was making the same mistake again. She was letting him corrupt her again. She was betraying Inuyasha’s trust again. But this time she knew better… so why… was it so hard…?
The demon parted her lips and entered her mouth, earning a quiet whimper from it’s victim. His hands were on her; warm and soothing on her skin. His body moved over her, blocking her view of the light and engulfing her in his shadow. The warmth of him against her should have sent her into a recoil, but to her dismay her hands reached for him, fingers entwining in the folds of his kimono as his kisses pacified any straying doubts. Before her she saw only the soft golden eyes that consumed her like a wonderful poison, and her legs wrapped around him. She felt the tears stinging her eyes then, as her heart and body tore her in opposite directions.
Then his sultry deep voice was against the curve of her ear as his fingers found their way under her clothing, “You can say ‘no’ if you don’t want me to do this, Kagome.”
She whimpered again as his skilled fingers slowly massaged her most sensitive spot. Words were all but lost as she grew wetter against his brilliant assault. She pressed up against his fingers as her legs tightened around him simultaneously, needing his touch just like a whore in heat. She moaned as his fingers danced against her clit, her breaths coming in short, soft pants.
He bit down against her earlobe, when the only thing he received as an answer were her moans of pleasure. It had eased his thoughts when she had not pushed him away as he had been anxiously anticipating. Now he knew her spoken words of regret were a faux. Why such petty words had bothered him so, he didn’t know, but now he was only relieved that she would still have him. He did want her trust and her loyalty. Normally these things didn’t matter to him, but with her… she had changed him somehow. He didn’t know when exactly, but he could feel it within himself. The indifference he always felt… he had felt it for her once as well. When had it ebbed away without his knowing?
He removed his fingers before she could orgasm and she gave an audible whine as she turned her face toward his’. Her arms pulled at his kimono until it slid down his shoulders. He sat up then, his toned chest visible to her as he allowed the kimono to fall from his arms. She pushed herself up, her legs still snuggled tightly against his waist. Her hands touched the warm skin of his chest before they ventured up to clasped both sides of his neck. She kissed him as his solid arms encircled her and he pulled her flush against him. The kiss was bruising and desperate. A soft smack was heard as they parted and she could feel the hardness of his erection through his hakama. His tongue traced the trail of tears that had fallen down her cheek as he rubbed himself against her warmth.
Her clothes barely hung from her form as he freed himself from the restraint of his pants and entered her. She cried out at the familiar pain, but didn’t flinch from him. His mouth was on her neck as he held onto her firmly yet tenderly. It was she who moved over him then, taking from him the pleasure he offered. His eyes widened to look at the woman as she rocked her hips over his throbbing hard on, moaning in rapture. One of his hands moved behind him to support the strange position. He wasn’t complaining though. She rode him hard, moaning as she held onto his shoulders, and he bucked his hips up against her intense pace, allowing himself to voice his pleasure at her strange dominance.
He watched her desperately grinding against his cock and slowly the corners of his mouth crept up into a pleased grin. Her eyes were closed and her mouth hung open, her breasts bounced charmingly before him as her every thrust, and he reached up with his free hand to play with one as she had her gratification.
He could feel the building pressure each time he watched his length disappear into her dripping hole.
“Ka…go…me…” he murmured as she began to ride him harder.
Then her scream signaled her orgasm as her walls came crushing down around his engorged erection and he gave one sharp upward thrust as he spilled his load into her wanting body.
Panting breaths filled the cave as her sweat slicked arms held his head securely to her bosom. He kissed her against her collar bone as he lowered her back down to the bedding and pulled out of her soaked cavern. He sat beside her momentarily, watching her as she struggled to regain her breath as he attempted to reclaim his own.
Fixing his hakama, he settled beside her, feeling fatigued from the activity, but pleased none the less. His eyes drifted closed watching her weary profile. After a few moments when they had both come down from the high he opened his golden pools again. He watched her staring at the rock ceiling, her eyes glossy and her bottom lip quivering in the darkness.
His brow drew low as he scanned her features intently. His lips pursed when she turned away and pulled herself into a ball, pulling the covers up to her face.
He sat up looking down on her hidden features and spoke softly, “Kagome…”
“Please.” She said from beneath the blanket, “I can’t …. I can’t think.”
His features only deteriorated further into a frown. She couldn’t think… or perhaps… she couldn’t think of him… “Tell me… Do you imagine him while I fuck you.”
She nearly shot upright, her damp eyes locked onto his solemn face, “What?” She stood up from the bedding, “How… How could you say that?!” Tears again welled up in her eyes.
“It’s the truth, isn’t it, Kagome?” he said as he stood opposite of her, his face a mixture of anger and hurt.
“No it isn’t! How could you even insinuate something like that?!” She cried out as she felt the hot tears spill from her eyes.
“Then what is it?!” He said letting his demeanor slip as he snarled at her, stepping closer to the frantic woman.
“I’m afraid!” She cried as her shoulders began to shake with her unsteady breaths. “I don’t want… to get hurt.” she finished saying in a voice barely above a whisper.
Sesshoumaru’s anger receded replaced by something strange and unknown to him. ’What is she saying exactly?’
“If I can‘t trust you then I‘ll always be left regretting.” she muttered softly, “Things were so much easier when I hated you… Why did it have to change…” she sobbed before she ran away from his suffocating presence.
The demon lord stood where he had been standing, unmoving but not unfazed. His eyes for once looked lost and confused at the miko‘s words. Slowly the golden orbs moved in the direction the miko had run. The scent of salty tears permeated the air and as he lowered his eyes back to the tangled blankets on the floor before him, his mind spinning with strange and unfamiliar thoughts. Why did it suddenly sting so badly… his chest…
