She couldn't remember the last time her mind had been stimulated. Or the last time her tea had gone cold between sips.
The day slipped by easier than it had in years. Before Yamika knew it, night had fallen and they parted ways until the morning. However, sleep would not come to her. She opened the amado of her room, leaning against the doorpost. The rest of the shrine seemed eerily quiet and dark. She hadn't been used to the silence being filled. She watched the wind form ripples over the pond outside the doors, the faint sound filling her ears.
"You should rest."
She jumped and fixed her yukata. She looked up, seeing Sesshomaru sitting opposite her, against his own doorpost. "I'm a bit restless." She tilted her head to the pond. "This door is open most nights. Though I suppose the company is better this time around."
She heard his hum of amusement.
"I take it not many find pleasure from your company?"
"I don't provide the pleasure very often." He folded his arms into his sleeves. "I do not deal with the most intelligent of beasts."
"Yes, I don't think many of your subordinates would be able to meet your intellect, from what you say." She shrugged. "I'm just lucky I live in the eastern lands, from what you've told me of your subjects."
"Too bad my father was lord of the west."
She met his entertained grin. "I'm not opposed to having visitors up here, if you ever need to escape.
"With how you handle a sword, I'd be protecting you more than anything."
She rolled her eyes and got up. "Unfortunate series of circumstances."
"Tell me, will you be able to handle demons when they come? More and more will advance now. You'll have to learn how to summon barriers."
She sighed and sat on the edge of the engawa. "That's why I wanted the priestess to stay."
"Do not tell me you do not know how to summon barriers."
"I do, but it's still taxing to cover so much at once."
Silence met her ears, letting the sounds of the night to permeate the grounds again. The breeze shifted over the pond again.
She didn't notice him standing next to her until he spoke.
"You won't last on your own. Not that way."
"So I screwed up, that doesn't mean I'm weak." She glared up at him. "Once I heal, I'll be better prepared." She got angrier at his chuckle. "You doubt me?"
"Let's just say I haven't been impressed with what I've seen."
She stood and dropped off the engawa. "I am not helpless." Her muscles rippled under her skin. "I have other ways of attacking.
He hummed again. "Do you think it wise to challenge me?"
Most likely not, but she couldn't control it. It had been too long since she had let her other form slip. The night prior had not been enough. "Come now. You aren't afraid of attacking a woman, are you? I'm sure a powerful demon like you has another form."
He dropped down to the ground as well, standing before her. "I'll try to remember to take it easy on you."
"Don't bother." Her body started to shift. "I can hold my own like this."
He shifted at the same time. "If you say so."
Both focused on their own shift, their feral minds taking over. Only a sliver of clarity remained in the fog. They both snapped jaws against the discomfort, hissing growls emanating from their chests. Their eyes met.
The night went silent again.
Just as quickly she reverted back, taking a few shaky steps back. "It was you…" She felt her face burn as his dog form shrank back down. "You were…"
He looked just as surprised.
She darted back into her room, closing the amado behind her. She held a hand over her heart, feeling it hammer against her chest. Now that she could compare the scents, there was no mistaking it.
His footsteps stopped outside her door, and her heart pounded harder. Her fingers shook against the wood. Thankfully, she heard him retreat to his room, sliding the door behind him.
She shuffled to her bedroll, hiding beneath the blankets. Most of the time, her feral mind was a welcomed thing. Forgetting very little made things bearable. Her random encounters usually didn't matter, if she could find them. Of all demons for it to have been…
It was hard for her to believe that the feral demon she had spent the night with, playing and letting go with, had been him.
A soft knock sounded from the interior sliding door. She pulled the blanket further up.
"Yamika."
"Go away, Sesshomaru." He slid the door open regardless. She sat up, gripping the yukata closed. "What the hell?"
He narrowed his eyes. "Are you ashamed of what we did? Is that why you're avoiding me?"
She looked down at her sheets. She wasn't sure what she felt.
"My understanding was that it was carnal. If this is true as well for you, there is nothing to hang your head about."
She nodded and gripped the yukata tighter. "Still though." She ran her free hand through her bangs. "While you're not the first, I've never been at the mercy of a lord before."
He chuckled and slid the door closed behind him. "Running alongside another demon without a care in the world is new to me as well."
"It happens if you don't run free for long, doesn't it?" She rested her head in her hand, watching him approach. "The less you let it loose, the more feral you become when you finally shift." She gave a playful grin, still trying to calm her heart. "Tell me, my lord, how did it feel to let go? By your actions, it had been awhile."
"Silence, woman." He stood before her, his gaze advantageous to the dip in her yukata.
She went quiet as ordered. Her heart was still erratic. His stillness clawed at her. She was suddenly aware of how dangerous the man was.
When he spoke again, it sounded different. Her ears picked up on a drop in pitch. "How long had it been for you?"
"Six years." She felt him kneel beside her. "Why, did it show?"
"Just a bit. Not many females have bitten my throat in frustration."
She scoffed. "Hard to find with all that scruff." She nodded to him. "You're one to talk. Do you pin all your mates down like that?"
He smirked. "Only the wild ones."
"You try going six years. You won't be the most gentle beast. Not that you were to begin with, but…"
He nodded. "I understand. It was something I needed as well. Still need, really."
"I'm sure time with a female is sparse in your position."
"You have no idea."
His scent grew stronger, making her mind reel. She tilted her head in amusement. "As I said, I'm not against having visitors." She leaned back, letting the yukata go. "Besides, what's the harm?" She tested the air with her nose. "By your scent, it's still carnal."
"Same as yours. However, I'm no different in this form."
"Is that supposed to deter me?"
"Merely a warning."
"A warning this time, hm?" A sort of purr left her as he knelt over her. He kissed the hollow of her throat, taking in her scent. "How noble of you." Her breath hitched as she felt his claws drag under her yukata.
He stopped suddenly. His growl was that of his true form.
"Sesshomaru?"
"We're not alone." He let her up. "Get dressed."
