Blood Stained
Chapter 65: Take me Down
The sunlight hit his bare chest while he rested his head against the headboard. Sesshomaru had ended up not obtaining a lot of sleep and had remained awake for most of the night. He did feel completely exhausted but he hadn't been able to find rest. Meanwhile, Kagome was resting against him with his arm wrapped around her, completely asleep.
Perhaps it was the closeness keeping him awake.
After the previous night, Kagome had passed out from exhaustion. He wasn't even sure if she realized how close she was to him, not that she seemed to mind anymore. Her hair was spread across his chest while her arm was halfway around his waist. Somehow during the night his shirt had ended up half open and he didn't want to move her to button it up.
She looked peaceful in her sleep and he didn't want disturb her. He was aware that now more than ever it'd be difficult for her. She wanted to complete the jewel, but believed she couldn't and he knew that was hard to bear for her. Sesshomaru couldn't help but glance down, observing her face as the sunlight was barely reaching it.
Unconsciously he brushed away her bangs and she didn't even stir.
Every day with her was becoming much harder. Each passing day he wanted her a bit more and it was causing an ache in his heart. He was once again experiencing a heart wrenching feeling and he had to deal with it alone. Even though they were becoming closer, all those horrible emotions were coming back. He was feeling drained, he experienced pain, and he couldn't stop thinking about her.
Sesshomaru wondered if she felt the same.
He did not wish for her to suffer any longer, but he wanted to be a part of her life. Last night she had sucked him in and he didn't want to be away anymore. She needed him, he knew that, but was she willing to accept that fact? She wanted to fall, and even now he didn't know what it meant. He had hoped for an explanation but she had never given him one.
It was hard to figure out if he was poison in her life or a good presence?
Suddenly there was movement against him and he glanced down at his mate. He observed as she slowly opened her eyes squinting through the light. Her hand slid down to his stomach as she pressed down a bit to help raise herself up. She peered left and right before finally looking up at Sesshomaru. Once she realized the position she was in, she quickly withdrew her hand.
"Sorry," she said, still squinting a bit.
She didn't even remember falling asleep. All she knew was that she had attempted to fall. To be honest, she had been terrified for most of it, yet it had felt somewhat liberating. Her fear had been running her life for many months for now and to release herself from its hold… she had felt alive.
"It's nothing," he said as he moved away just a bit so she would feel more comfortable.
She was such a mystery sometimes; she required closeness and space at the same time.
Kagome knew she couldn't ignore what she had said the previous night or the things she had thought and felt. She realized that somehow Sesshomaru had saved her life many centuries ago and to think she was alive because of him made her thoughts into a whirlwind. Sometimes it felt silly that she couldn't let go of the past but a part of her just couldn't put it behind.
"What are we doing?" she finally asked.
Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow, a bit surprised by her question. "I don't understand."
Kagome shrugged her shoulders. "What are we doing? I know we said we were taking it slow, but I just… Where is it going?"
Sesshomaru moved to be closer to her. He sat on his knees right in front of her while looking straight in her eyes. "We are going wherever you wish." He lifted his hands and cupped her face gently. "I told you before, if you do not want this, it will not happen. If you do, we will go to your pace."
"But what do you want?"
It was always about what she desired and she was more than grateful for that, but for once, she wanted to know everything that was going on in his mind. "What does Sesshomaru want?" she inquired again.
For the past few months he hadn't thought about what he wished for. It had all been about her and frankly, now that the question was asked he didn't know what to tell her. What if the real answer caused her to walk away? Was he truly able to speak his mind?
"It doesn't matter what it is, just tell me."
For once, she wanted him to be completely open with her. They had been through too much together for them to keep things from each other. If this was going anywhere like they both intended to, then they should be able to handle whatever the other had to say.
She still wanted the same thing she wanted last night. She wanted to fall with him.
There were no right words to describe what he wanted to say. Thus, there was only one thing he could do to give her the answer she desired. Almost forcefully he pressed his lips against hers, taking her down a passionate road. At first her eyes remained open, but as the seconds passed away she closed them. Yes falling.
His tongue quickly invaded her mouth, tasting her sweet hot cavern. He couldn't get enough of her. Before when he had been graced with her kisses, he had despised them. He wouldn't make that mistake again. He needed her so much his heart ached, or his heart ached because he needed her.
His hands trailed down until he was holding on to her waist and he pressed her body against his. Because of his actions, Kagome could feel his bare skin against her fingertips and his flesh was warm. Her heart hammered so hard in her chest it felt as if it was hitting his. Yet, it didn't stop her from kissing him back her own tongue shyly coming out.
Her heartbeat was the only thing filling her mind and echoing through it, but she kept going. Unlike previous times, tears were not coming to her eyes. Meanwhile his fingers gently glided inside her shirt, rubbing her smooth skin. He deepened his kiss, making her breathless as he explored her mouth with his tongue.
When he finally pulled away, he rested his mouth against her ear. "You," he whispered, "That's what I want."
His eyes bore into hers and she found herself without an answer. The intensity of his glance was making her melt into a puddle and she could not look away. She had always known he felt that way, but to hear the words from his mouth, it was a different effect.
Seeing as how she was not speaking Sesshomaru trailed his mouth down until he reached her neck. It was then that he began devouring her. He lapped at her mark, the one pulsing every day, taunting him, before slightly nibbling at her skin. He felt her buckle ever so slightly, causing him to do it again. The jolts going through her body were increasing and she opened her mouth, yet nothing came out.
Sesshomaru raised his hands up just a bit, leading his hands to be under her breasts. As his thumb gently rubbed, Kagome couldn't hold back a soft low moan. As soon as the sound escaped her, her cheeks became decorated with a gentle, bright blush. He could feel her whole body heating up under his touch and it was almost making him dizzy. Yes, that was what he wanted…her. But not just her body, he wanted Kagome as a whole. When she allowed him this near it was always hard to pull away. He wanted to feel more; he wanted to taste more.
He wanted to provide her with the great experience she should have been given in the first place. He wanted to give back to her what had selfishly been taken away. He wanted to give her everything.
She could feel it spin out of control, much more then ever before, yet she felt so powerless to stop it, but not in a bad way. Contrary to what she originally believed, this was not a completely terrifying experience. Yes, she could still see the flashes of the past in her mind but she was also able to stay in the present. Granted his appearance didn't help, but she was more able to make the distinction.
Sesshomaru once again allowed himself to go a bit further. He was surprised that she had not stopped him yet, but he would not complain. His lips pursued their way down to her collarbone, where he laid soft kisses, causing her to lean back a bit and expose more of her neck. Sesshomaru held her tightly, almost afraid that she would lose her balance.
Kagome's heart was pound extremely fast and hard, so much that it was almost bringing her pain. For a second, it felt like nothing around them existed and that time had stopped. She was right here and there and nowhere else.
She did feel a bit bad however, since he was touching her and she was remaining still. The problem was she had no clue in the world what to do. In the past, her experiences in that domain hadn't been pleasant and hadn't involved much on her part. She was also afraid that if she began doing something it would break that balance she had managed to find.
Yet, she wanted to touch him.
There was no denying he was attractive and in the past few months he had done more than his share of things to melt her heart. But could she handle it?
It was true that she wanted to fall…
Kagome decided to gather a bit of her strength, and she allowed her hands, which had been resting upon his chest, to glide up a bit, feeling all the ripples of his muscles under her fingers. At first, Sesshomaru was surprised and nearly pulled away, but he caught himself just in time.
Kagome was his mate, and he could not recall when he had really obtained her touch. Mates were supposed to be affectionate, and it was something he had been deprived of for a very long time. It could also be the reason why he was experiencing so much pain. A surge went through him as her tiny little hands kept exploring his chest. Rather than continuing to kiss her skin, he nuzzled his head in the crook of her neck, feeling rather satisfied.
Kagome didn't think she had ever been this nervous in her entire life as she finally reached his shoulders. His body was toned, something she had not noticed before, but had expected. She hadn't looked at his body very often in the past, and since they had met up again in the present he had always made sure to shield his body from her.
Since his shirt was unbuttoned, her hands were dangerously close to causing his sleeves to fall off and slide down his arms. He didn't want the situation to be taken too far, afraid to scare her, but he didn't want to be the one to put a halt to it either. He licked his lips slightly prior to gently grazing his fangs against her neck all the way down to the top of her breasts.
Of course, he required self-control. He knew that taking off a piece of her clothing would be too much, thus he pulled himself away slightly. He raised his head and rested it against hers as he did every so often. Sesshomaru pressed a gentle kiss on her nose and smiled. Meanwhile Kagome was nearly out of breath while her hands rested on his pectorals. Her lips were moist from his kiss and she couldn't even look up. A part of her wasn't sure why he had stopped but another part was glad, but that was only because it was still a scary thing.
Sesshomaru brought of his hand up in her hair, gently twirling with her locks.
"I hope I answered your question?"
His words lightened up the mood she couldn't help but laugh a little. "You did," she said finally peering into his eyes.
It was then that the moment was broken by a small scream coming from the crib nearby. Kagome's eyes lingered in his for a little longer before she pulled away. "I'll go get him," she said, retracting her hands from his body.
It was when she was no longer touching him that he felt the need for more. He had been graced by her touch once, and he already required more. Oh yes, he was screwed.
As Kagome walked to the crib, she couldn't help but feel a bit lighter than usual.
This wasn't so bad.
-B-
"Where's the dog?"
Kagome raised her head up, only to see Kouga walking in to the kitchen area. He was wearing nothing more than jeans and a white t-shirt while his usually tied hair was loose.
"In the shower," answered Kagome while she kept on rocking her son in her arms. Kiyoshi had been restless ever since the morning and had refused to be put down.
"Great, it's gonna smell like wet dog in here," said Kouga as he walked further into the room only to take seat beside Kagome.
He probably would have made normal conversation if he hadn't notice something different on her. "Doggie bit you?" he asked before pointing at her neck.
A blush immediately appeared across her face as she clamped one hand over her neck, the other securely holding her son. There was a guilty look on her face. At her reaction, Kouga couldn't help but laugh.
"I was actually somewhat joking, but I guess I was right." He leaned forward a little bit more. "I'm surprised you let him near ya."
Kagome wasn't much for gossiping, especially about that but… it almost felt overwhelming to the point where she had to tell someone. It was true that having girl talk with Kouga would seem strange, but it wasn't like she had many people she could tell this to.
"I want to. I mean I want to let him near, it's just…"
"You're scared?" he asked, knowing it was perfectly normal for her to be.
She waited a few seconds before shaking her head. "It's not exactly that." She didn't even know herself what it was. "Isn't it weird? I mean after what happened… am I that twisted?"
Kouga raised both eyebrows; her question was unexpected. "So a part of why you won't let him close is because you think it's wrong of you to want someone who... well you know?" She didn't need to hear the word.
"Well, it is."
She was well aware that there were cases were people who were locked up long enough with their…captor sometimes ended up falling in love, but this was not the case. Sesshomaru wasn't, at least not anymore, forcing her to be by his side. She was there out of free will and she wanted him near.
Still, it made her feel wrong.
"How can you want to be with someone who did that to you?"
Kouga shifted in his seat, feeling uncomfortable in the conversation. He understood where Kagome was coming from, but he also knew the other side of the story. "Well, sometimes it's case by case. Some girls are destroyed, taken, and then killed or left for dead. I'm not saying what happened to you isn't bad but… it's all about time period and context. From where you are from, what his beast did was terrible. But for his beast, he did it because he loved you."
Of course the simple fact that the beast loved her didn't make it all better. But, he didn't try to kill her.
Kagome couldn't help but sigh. "I know that. I get that it was different, but it doesn't take the pain away. I mean, I've outgrown some of it but…"
"He's not who he was. Maybe you could think of it as someone who existed five hundred years ago, and think of Sesshomaru as someone who exists now. It doesn't change the past, but it makes the present much better."
"So you think I should go forward with all of this?"
Kouga smirked. "Well, did you enjoy it?"
The blush covering her cheeks increased and she couldn't do anything but look away.
"I'll take that as a yes."
"He's sweet and he cares," she said, remembering the way he was carefully handling her. "It's just sometimes I get these flashes… I just. It's all bad memories and pain… how can I not… feel that? What would make it different now?"
"You… him." There was no magical answer he could give her to make her feel better, even if he wanted to. "I know he won't hurt you. But you shouldn't go that far if you're not ready. It's not easy coming back from a traumatizing experience. You just take it as far as you're comfortable. And no enjoying it doesn't make you a bad person."
Did it not? There was nothing wrong with the Sesshomaru now; all that stood in the way was the lingering memories of who he used to be. But then again, she knew better than anyone that people did change. Wasn't she the one who always had faith in the goodness inside people? Why had she lost that faith?
Instead of answering, Kagome peered down at her son. He was looking up at her with his shiny amber eyes, stretching his hand out for her. She gently slid her fingers into his palm and he squeezed tightly. Kiyoshi was the proof that even though bad things happen, good things emerged. He was her ray of light, her everything.
"So why did you come over?" she asked, deviating the subject away from her and Sesshomaru.
"No reason, feeling in a good mood."
Kagome raised an eyebrow. "And why is that?"
Kouga inclined his head to the left a bit then brought it back straight. "It's that girl from yesterday, Kai."
This time, Kagome's curiosity was arisen. "Kouga, you have to stop falling in love with girls at first sight."
"Only you," he said teasingly. "No it's just. Pack is important to us and when someone leaves or dies, it's always a hit. I really thought I had led them to death when they left because of what happened. But they didn't. Even if they left, they were always pack."
A sweet smile appeared on Kagome's face as she stretched out an arm and gently rubbed Kouga's arm. No, she didn't know everything about what it was like to be in a pack, or be in charge of it. However, she did know that since the day they had made her pack, they hadn't let anything happen to her.
"I'm happy for you then," she said offering him an even brighter smile.
"And I'm happy for your neck," he said smirking so widely his fangs were showing.
Immediately, Kagome glared at him, her hand once again hiding the hickey on her neck. She really hadn't thought what had happened between them this morning would be so apparent.
"I told you," he said as he leaned back into the chair. "Nothing to be ashamed of."
It was then that the sound of the bathroom door opening was heard. Kagome kept her hand on her neck while looking straight ahead, while Kouga was trying to peer at the door, waiting for Sesshomaru to come. He couldn't fully make fun of Kagome, but with Sesshomaru he had no problem at all. He was actually looking forward to it.
"Hey Doggie."
Kagome held back a smirk; Kouga was in a bigger teasing mood than usual. She wondered if that was what happiness did to him. She was ware that both of them would behave, but Kouga was very good a pushing Sesshomaru's buttons sometimes.
"Wolf," said Sesshomaru as he walked into the kitchen.
His hair was still damp, dripping down his light blue shirt, which was slightly unbuttoned. His eyes quickly scanned the room, allowing him to notice the bright blush covering Kagome's face. It was also then that he realized Kouga had a wide smirk on his face, as if he was proud of himself. And why in the world was Kagome covering her neck?
"Come on Kag, I'm sure Sesshomaru already knows what he did to you. No need to hide it."
Her eyes widened a bit, but she allowed her hand to slide down and settle back under Kiyoshi. Now that it was exposed, it was possible for Sesshomaru to see the nice marks he had left upon her flesh. Of course the Wolf had to see it didn't he? Their eyes met, and Kouga moved forward a bit, resting his chin upon his palm.
He would not grace him with a response, or a comment. He was well aware that Kouga was just trying to get to him. "Don't you have somewhere to be?" asked Sesshomaru as he lifted the kettle, inspecting it to see if there was enough water for a coffee.
"Nope. Nowhere is as entertaining."
"Alright you two. I'm going to go feed Kiyoshi, behave," said Kagome as she rose to her feet. The place was a little too crowded for breastfeeding and frankly, she had a feeling they were about to bicker.
Canines were so territorial.
As soon as Kagome stepped out of the kitchen, Kouga turned around so he was facing Sesshomaru. "I guess things are going well for you."
Sesshomaru poured the hot water in his cup, never once glancing at Kouga. "It is none of your concern, but no I'm not certain they are."
Yes he was getting much closer to her than ever, but he kept having this feeling that soon enough she would slip from his fingers and it was terrifying. It was as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, never knowing when the wind would push him into the emptiness.
"I don't know, she talked to me and she seems okay with it for the most part."
Sesshomaru felt himself twitch; he didn't want to invade in Kagome's privacy, and what she shared with others, but he had to admit he was a bit intrigued. She was a bit vague with him lately, which he understood, but he would like some clarification. Though, it wasn't right to pry into someone's conversations.
"What she told you was not for my ears to hear."
Kouga shrugged. "Your choice."
He wouldn't have broken Kagome's trust by repeating everything that had been said, but he would have pointed Sesshomaru in the right direction. Without it, Sesshomaru wouldn't get anywhere.
"Just know that you don't have to standby waiting for something to happen."
Sesshomaru pinched his lips together slightly, before taking a deep breath. He didn't have to? Because sometimes it felt like the whole world was moving and happening and all he could do was stand still and watch it happen.
When had he lost all control?
-B-
The sound of laughter was filling his ears when he walked into the bedroom, only to find Kagome on the floor with Kiyoshi. She was holding him by the waist, lifting him up in the air and twirling him like a plane. Kiyoshi was smiling brightly while Kagome could hardly hold back a smile.
Happiness.
The scene was enough to warm his heart. He wanted that but not just now; he didn't want it to be taken away eventually. What he desired was to be in their house, and have these kinds of moments. He wished to be part of them.
Kagome's focus was broken when she realized Sesshomaru was standing there. "Hey," she said.
It almost felt a little awkward. After the last few days, she didn't know how they should be acting with each other. Would it now be okay to casually kiss and be together? She knew Sesshomaru was waiting for it to be right with her, but she wouldn't hate it if he made a move of his own like he had done earlier.
It made it easier.
Since Kagome's attention was somewhere else, it seemed to cause Kiyoshi's focus to shift as well. He tilted his head to the side, catching a glimpse of his father. It was then that he stretched his arms in direction of him asking to be picked up. Kagome arched an eyebrow, astonished a bit, but not offended.
Sesshomaru could nothing but give in into the demand. He took a step forward and bent down so he could pick up his son from Kagome's arms. Since his beast had gone, Kiyoshi seemed to be the only one bringing him complete peace.
As Sesshomaru was holding on to their son, Kagome took advantage of the situation to get up. Her legs were killing her and completely numb from the way she had been sitting on the floor. The sight in front of her caused her to smile as she sat down on the edge of the bed.
This was good, this was normal.
Normalcy wasn't something that had been in her life lately and she had been craving it. Granted that with the way her life had been going, it wasn't something for her, but she wanted it. Couldn't they make the best out of what they had and make it work? They would always be tied to one and another no matter what… couldn't they transform this into something better?
"Sesshomaru, can I talk to you?"
He didn't like the tone of her words, but he nodded nonetheless. Quickly he put Kiyoshi in his crib, even though his son didn't seem to appreciate it. He wanted to hold him, something he didn't do often, but he could tell whatever Kagome wished to talk about was important. He carefully tucked Kiyoshi in, feeling a bit of guilt, before joining Kagome in the bed.
Kagome crossed her legs and inclined her head slightly to the side. She dared to raise her hand and trail a finger against his left cheek's mark. Slowly she traced until she reached the corner of his mouth.
"I want this to be normal."
"Normal?"
She chuckled a bit. "I know it sounds insane, but yeah. I mean, everything has been upside down forever. For once, I want one thing in my life to be completely normal."
"And what is this?" he dared to ask.
"You and me."
She moved her hand away from his face and back into her lap. "I just…I can do this. I know I could. But I need to put everything back together. I mean if I can't, I won't be able to make my wish."
Extremely interested, Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. "Your wish? You know what selfish wish you will make upon the jewel?"
Kagome nodded. It had become clear to her during the day what she was supposed to wish for. Perhaps it was not completely selfless, she wasn't sure, but… she felt it was the right thing to ask for. It was a big risk to take because she didn't want to jewel to come back, but she would give it a try.
"I won't tell you if that's what you're asking," she said while smiling a bit. She didn't want Sesshomaru to know her wish yet. He could find out later when she made it, or never.
It wasn't as if she was trying to keep something from him but this wish, it was personal. Since the jewel was her responsibility, it was her duty to make the right wish and she wanted to keep the weight of it to herself for now.
"Of course, I wouldn't think about asking," he said, a bit taunting.
Yes, he wanted to know. She was the only one who could make the right wish and he was intrigued to know what that was. The jewel's existence had been dragged on and on and it was time to put an end to it.
"Do you think we can do normal?"
"We won't know unless we try."
She nodded, glad that he agreeing with her. "It doesn't have to be big stuff you know. We can start with small steps."
Kagome had a feeling that Sesshomaru had also not experienced a normal life in a long time. Maybe he could use it as well.
"What are small steps?" He was aware of his own limits and boundaries, but he was never sure of hers.
That was the part she wasn't sure of. What could be the right way to start all of this? "We could do things as a family or even… meals together? You and I. Let's face it; neither of us has been eating lately." Not that Sesshomaru required food… or did he? "I thought we could also…" Could she say that?
"You thought we could also what?" He usually didn't push her to say what she didn't wish to, but he was intrigued. She seemed to be a bit embarrassed since her cheeks had a hue of pink, and he wanted to know more.
Kagome began fidgeting a bit, as she played with the hem of her pants. "I just…we've been closer… and I just. We slept in the same bed more than once right? I mean, it was never really planned but… And I was just thinking…"
"You want to share a bed?" he finished, hoping he had gotten it right.
Unable to answer with words, she nodded. She felt a bit ashamed to propose it, and perhaps it was wrong, but she felt like it would help. The biggest problem they were going to have was physical closeness. If during the night they could be near each other, maybe it would help. If she was getting use to having his body right beside hers, it could get better.
It would be a good thing.
"If you don't mind?"
Mind? He wouldn't mind. He had been waiting for her to want to be closer to him since he had found her again. The fact that she was willing to give this a shot was more than what he was asking for.
She nodded again, before moving away from him. The night had fallen and it was now dark outside. Could they begin this now? Did she even have pajamas she would feel comfortable wearing, without looking like a complete dork? And did she just worry about the way she would look?
"I'll be right back," she said as she offered him a quick smile.
It wasn't too long until she disappeared from his view into the next room and all he could do was watch. Sesshomaru's eyes were opened wide and he shook his head softly. "What had just happened?"
He had seen Kagome nervous before, but this felt different somehow.
Deciding he'd keep his own mind busy while she was gone, he walked over to the crib where Kiyoshi was laying. His amber eyes were still wide open, and a smile appeared upon his lips when he saw his father. Sesshomaru held on to Kiyoshi's hands feeling the softness of his little fingers. It was as they made contact that he began realizing there was a small white glow around his son.
It reminded him of when he held him after losing his youki.
Once again, calmness overtook him and he didn't want to pull away. Kiyoshi grabbed one of his father's fingers with three of his own. He gently brought it to his mouth and began sucking on it, which caused Sesshomaru to smile. Kiyoshi was gently nibbling on his fingers and the glow increased.
Suddenly Sesshomaru felt a shock inside of him and he closed his eyes forcefully, almost as if it was giving him a headache. Without thinking he pulled his hand away from his son, resting it on the edge of the crib. It took him a few seconds before he could finally open his eyes. His vision was a little blurry for a while, but it finally cleared up.
What in the world had just happened to him?
Out of the blue, he felt a hand on his arm and all he could do was jump in surprise.
"Sesshomaru? Are you okay?"
He tilted his head to the side a bit to be able to look at her. She was standing right beside him wearing nothing but a white spaghetti strap top and yellow silky pajama pants. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and her face was cleared of all make up; she looked radiant.
"Yeah, it's nothing. Just a headache," he finally said before releasing the crib and heading for the bed.
As he let go, both of them missed the obvious dent in the wood. It was as if it had been melted by liquid poison. Instead their attention was focused on the bed in front of them and so they both walked away, never noticing.
Kagome could feel her body trembling just a bit as she walked over to the left side of the bed and pulled the blanket back. Gently she slid under the blanket, feeling the coolness of the sheets tickle her skin. It wasn't too long until Sesshomaru realized he couldn't join her yet; he had to get changed first. Feeling a bit foolish that he had forgotten, he grabbed a few clothes in one of the drawers before disappearing into the bathroom.
Meanwhile she adjusted the pillow a few times, trying to get comfortable. Yes, she could do this every night. She laid her arms flat by her side, outside of the blanket. As twisted and bad as it might sound, she did feel a bit excited. What girl hadn't thought about warm nights in bed all cuddled up? Never had she been given the chance to experience it and she was overwhelmed.
In the room just next door, Sesshomaru was staring at himself in the mirror, bare chested and confused. Right down his cheek, there was a trail of blood leading to the inside of his ear. He turned his head to the side, trying to figure out how it had happened. Could it be because of the pain he had experienced a few moments ago?
He grabbed a towel quickly and rubbed the blood away from his face. To be honest, he was beginning to be concerned. Was it because of his missing youki, or was it because of whatever his son had done?
Sesshomaru rubbed his head with his thumb and index fingers while letting out a long sigh. It was when he heard a sound coming from the bedroom that he was reminded of Kagome waiting for him. He quickly grabbed his shirt, threw it on before placing the blood stained towel in the laundry basket.
For now he wouldn't worry Kagome further. She was already stressed enough as it was and he didn't want to add to it. For the time being, it was no threat or big problem. Unless it became worse, he would keep it to himself. Sesshomaru glanced in the mirror once more time to make sure there was no more blood. Once he confirmed it, he exited the bathroom, feeling a tad nervous; what if he bled again?
As soon as he stepped into the bedroom, Kagome raised her head slightly, almost to confirm if it was him. This was probably the most casual she had ever seen him dressed. He had nothing on but a black t-shirt and long baggy dark blue pajama pants. She held back a smile at the sight and put her head back down on the pillow.
Though it was too late because Sesshomaru could already see amusement dancing in her eyes.
He shyly joined her in bed, making sure he would rest on his side, the one he had bled from laying against his pillow. Kagome was resting on her back, and he could tell she was nervous because her rib cage was moving up and down quite rapidly.
"I've never done this. Well not like this, anyway."
Her lips were forcefully pinched together, as she joined her hands together. This was probably not the most comfortable position for closeness, so she slowly turned to her side, exposing her back to him. She didn't say a word but her heart was hammering in her chest, though it was not caused by fear. She felt him slowly approached her body, and she held her breath until their bodies made contact.
Sesshomaru was extremely warm and she found herself leaning in just a bit when he snaked his arms around her waist. His open palm was pressed over her clothed stomach, his heat transmitting to her. Then, slowly he buried his face in the crook of her neck, her hair tickling his face. His moist lips were pressed against her mark and she found it necessary to take a deep breath.
Her skin tingled with every contact and she leaned her head back ever so slightly causing her back to arch just a bit. She forced her eyes closed, trying to decrease the rate of her heartbeat a little. Kagome was still trying to figure out if she was nervous, scared, or somewhat… no. No. She wasn't that.
Sesshomaru found himself cursing in his mind. She might eventually calm down and sleep, but there was no way he would find rest.
He was doomed.
