Chapter 8: The Prophecy's Spell
Kagome sat peacefully in Sesshoumaru's study, the same ancient book that she had seen the first time she had been in there sitting in front of her as her eyes scanned over the pages. She had been unaware of the ability to bind books this far back in history, let alone further in the past. This book wouave ave been called ancient a few hundred years ago.
Kagome sighed as she turned the page, not at all surprised to see gaps here and there in the writing that lined the pages. Every page she had read had been the same. There had even been a few completely blank pages. So far, she had only read one page that had no writing missing from it, which confused her a bit. She once again made a mental note to ask Sesshoumarout out the missing writing and continued her reading.
It was a time like this that she lamented setting her bag down before running to gather those two shards. If she hadn't she'd still have her bag, as well as her other clothes, most of which were extremely comfortable. What she wouldn't give for a pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and one of her hooded sweatshirts. Or at least Sesshoumaru to keep her warm.
Kagome blushed at her thoughts, and then turned her full attention back to the large book that still sat on the floor at her knees. So far, all she had read was just a bunch of information about some of the spells involved in the prophecy, but when she came to the part on how to remove the spells, the writing was missing.
Another sigh passed her lips as the page she had just turned to looked to be yet another spell. Figuring that, as the other spells, this one would prove useful in the future, Kagome continued reading. The more she read, the more confused she got. Then, in a sudden moment of clarity, she knew what this spell's purpose was; to bind two beings together emotionally.
~*~
Sesshoumaru had gone to speak with the wolf prince after he had left his mate in his study, and was now on his way to how she waing.ing. He knew she probably wouldn't be done reading yet, since she had told him she could see writing on almost every page, but he figured she might like a break. And even if she wouldn't like one, she probably needed one. It had been quite a while since he had left her in his study, her head bent over the large book in concentration.
Turning down the hallway that led to his study, Sesshoumaru paused in his stride as an unpleasant scent caught his attention. 'Salt.' As soon as the thought registered in his mind, he quickened his pace, trying to get to his mate as fast as he could.
Flinging open the door, Sesshoumaru ran to his mates side, instantly taking notice of her hunched over and shaking form as he kneeled next to her.
"Kagome, what's the matter?" he asked as he scooped her up in his arms and cradled her against his chest.
Kagome only huddled up in a ball, wrapping her arms around her arms around her shoulders as Sesshoumaru gently rocked her, running a hand through her hair.
"Tell me what the problem is," Sesshoumaru demanded as he continued to comb his fingers through her hair, each time, gently pressing her head against his shoulder. "I can't do anything to help unless you tell me what is wrong."
"It's all wrong," Kagome whispered, her hands moving from her shoulders to the front of his shirt, burying her face in his shoulder.
"What is?"
Kagome didn't respond, she only touched a page of the still open book that sat on the floor, a slight glow transferring from her finger to the page of the book.
Sesshoumaru looked down at the page, his eyes widening a bit when he actually saw writing on the once blank page. His eyes quickly scanned othe the page, taking in all the details revealed there. When he was done, Sesshoumaru looked back at the shuddering woman in his arms. This is what had upset his mate to such an extent. He wanted to growl, but he couldn't; not with his mate still in his arms.
"Kagome, shush, stop crying. Everything will be fine. I promise," Sesshoumaru said as he continued rocking and smoothing out her hair.
"No s nos not," Kagome managed between hiccups. "Everything I thought I felt for you wasn't real. It was just something generated by a spell."
"No. The spell was only designed to get us together. Once you agreed to be my mate, the spell began to weaken. It had completely worn off before we even coupled last night." Sesshoumaru stopped speaking long enough to grip Kagome's chin in his hand and tilt her head up so that she was looking him in the eye. "Besides, the spell only strengthens emotions that are already there. Even magic cannot create feelings."
Kagome raised her eyes to Sesshoumaru's. "How do I know that you aren't just trying to get me to help you fulfill this prophecy?" she accused.
"I care little for the prophecy. I told you before; I have no need to lie, for any reason. So you can be assured that I'm not lying when I say that I only care for you," Sesshoumaru told her, his eyes never wavering from hers.
"Really?" Kagome asked, her voice barely above a whisper as she watched him intently.
"Really," Sesshoumaru assured her, his free hand coming up to cup her cheek. He leaned towards Kagome, his hand sliding from her chin to the back of her neck. He felt her hands slid from his chest, around his torso, to tangle in the ends of his hair. Suppressing a smile, Sesshoumaru pressed his lips to his mate's, relishing in the feeling of her pliant flesh. Flesh that didn't stay pliant for long as she began to respond to his lips, her mouth opening up for his tongue to delve into.
A few moments later, they both pulled away, panting for air. Kagome untangled her hands from Sesshoumaru's hair, and covered his hand that rested on her cheek, while cupping his cheek with her other hand.
Sesshoumaru allowed his hand that rested oe bae back of her neck to drift down her back until it rested at the small of her back. He turned his head slightly, kissing the palm of her hand that cupped his cheek. Turning his head back to her, he let a small smile grace his features.
"I told you, I want you to be happy, and I will do everything in my power to make you happy," he whispered, leaning forward to place a kiss on her forehead after he stopped talking.
"I know that. It's just still so new to me. You told me about the prophecy, but I didn't think there would be any spells to it," Kagome replied as she dropped her hands to her lap and relaxed against him. "I guess it didn't occur to me that something like that would be used."
"Tell me, what do you feel for me now?" Sesshoumaru asked as he moved his hand from her cheek to her shoulder and slid his hand from her back to around her waist. "Don't think, just respond."
"I'm not sure. Everything is just so confusing," Kagome said, glad Sesshoumaru couldn't see the blush that had spread across her cheeks at his question. In fact, she knew exactly how she felt for the youkai lord; she just didn't want to admit it. She didn't want to admit that she was falling desperately in love with Sesshoumaru. Her mind couldn�t fathom her rapid development of emotions for the youkai, or the literal disappearance of her feelings towards Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru could tell that she wasn't telling him the complete truth, but he knew when she was comfortable, she would open up to him. Until that time, he would have to settle for holding her close. Mentally sighing, he decided he should probably offer to take her to rest.
"Come, I will take you back to our room. You should rest," Sesshoumaru told her as he shifted her in his arms so that when he stood, he would have one arm under her knees and the other underneath her arms.
"What about the book?" Kagome asked, looking at the large book where it still sat on the floor.
"I want yestiesting, not reading a book that has already put you under unnecessary stress. You can finish reading it tomorrow," Sesshoumaru told her sternly.
"But Shippo will be here by tomorrow, won't he?" she asked. At his nod, she continued. "And what about Rin? Shouldn't I be taking care of her, too? If it will make you feel better, I'll only read the book while you're there," she promised.
"Do not worry about your kit. I will make sure you have plenty of time to read tomorrow," Sesshoumaru assured her. "I want you to rest for the remainder of the day. You were tired when you woke up this morning," he told her.
"Oi, Maru-chan, I'm fine. Really I am," Kagome protested as Sesshoumaru stood up and walked out of the room.
He paused at the nickname and looked down at her. "Maru-chan," he asked, raising an eyebrow at her.
Kagome flashed him a smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Yes, you're my Maru-chan. Have a problem with that?" she asked, smirking.
"No. As long as you don't call me that in public," he replied as he continued down the hallway towards their room.
Kagome smiled at him. "No problem, Maru-chan," she said as she placed a kiss on his cheek.
Sesshoumaru stopped and looked at Kagome. "Mate, would you mind opening the door? My hands seem to be full," he told her, the corners of his lips tipping up in a smile.
Blushing a bit, Kagome reached out and quickly opened the door, which Sesshoumaru closed with his foot after he stepped through. He walked over to the futon and laid her down, her arms around his neck not allowing him to rise back up. He raised an eyebrow at her from his position hovering over her.
"I need to get up."
Kagome pouted and tugged on Sesshoumaru's neck, causing him to lose his balance and fall over her. "I don't want you to leave."
Sesshoumaru looked down at her, both eyebrows raised at her now. "And just why not?" he asked with a lecherous smirk. "What would we do if I stayed?"
"I'm sure we could find something to occupy ourselves with," Kagome replied with a matching smirk.
Sesshoumaru suddenly turned serious and leaned down, capturing her lips in a heated kiss. His tongue swept out of his mouth, gliding over her lower lip, asking admittance into her mouth. His moved so that he leaned on his right elbow, his hand massaging her left breast, while his left hand rested on her right hip, right over where his mark on her hip was. She opened her mouth for him and his tongue delved in, brushing against hers, coaxing her tongue to play with his.
Kagome brushed her tongue along the side of Sesshoumaru's, drawing a groan from him. She wrapped one arm around his shoulders, and her other hand curled up behind his head, her fingers tangling in his platinum locks. She felt Sesshoumaru pull away and groaned when his mouth left hers. Kagome opened eyes she hadn't known she had closed and pouted at Sesshoumaru.
"Come on, no teasing," Kagome whined as she tugged at his shirt.
Sesshoumaru just shook his head and sat up, pulling Kagome with him. While she sat, dumbfounded, he leaned around her and, without a word, began untying the obi that kept her kimono closed. Once he freed the obi from its complicated knot, he pulled it away from her body and dumped it on the floor. Lowering her back to rest on the futon once more, Sesshoumaru hovered over her, his eyes fixed on the now loose kimono.
"I'm not teasing," he said as he leaned down and once again took her lips in a heated kiss, which she gladly responded to.
Kagome's hands moved to the ties on Sesshoumaru's shirt, tugging on them until they came loose. Pushing his shirt off his shoulders, which stopped at his bent elbows, her hands began roaming over her mate's bare chest, her fingers dancing over his muscles. With her kimono no longer restricting her movement, Kagome spread her legs a bit, allowing Sesshoumaru's body to settle between them. She groaned into Sesshoumaru's mouth when she felt his hardness being pressed against her womanhood, the only thing separating them were his pants.
Sesshoumaru pulled back and raised a hand to the front of Kagome's kimono. Pushing the fabric out of his way, his hand moved to cup her left breast, his fingers moving to tweak the nipple.
Kagome tilted her head up to watch Sesshoumaru. Suddenly, the situation felt wrong to her. Her hands holding her gaping kimono closed as she scooted away from him, all the while, shaking her head as she curled as much of her body as she could in a ball.
Sesshoumaru had pulled his hands away from her as soon as the look in her eyes had changed. Now, he worriedly watched her as she curled in on herself more as soon as he moved off of her. He moved up so that he sat next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Kagome, are you alright?" Sesshoumaru asked as he moved the curled up form to his lap. He positioned Kagome so that her head rested on his shoulder and he made sure that she stayed covered by the kimono.
Kagome shook her head and snuggled into Sesshoumaru's chest. "I'm sorry, Sesshoumaru. I just can't. Not right now," she told him.
Sesshoumaru cocked his head to the side so that he could see her face. "It's okay. You don't have to do anything you're not ready for," he assured her. "I never want you to feel like you have to do something if you don't want to. I want you to be happye, se, so don't worry," he told her, nuzzling his nose into her hair.
"Thank you," Kagome spoke softly, smiling into his chest, "Maru-chan."
Sesshoumaru smiled. "You keep calling me that, I may have to start calling you Gome-chan," he told her as he rested his head on top of hers. "Now, you stay here and rest. I've got a few things to take care of. I'll bring you some lunch. Also, if you want, you can send a list of some of the things you like to eat to the cook, so she knows what to make for you," Sesshoumaru told her as he laid her back on the bed and tucked her in.
"I'd like that," Kagome said as she rolled onto her side facing her mate. "Will you ... will you stay with me until I fall asleep?" she asked tentatively.
Sesshoumaru nodded. "Of course," he said as he laid down next to her, wrapping his arms around her, letting her snuggle against him.
~*~
Sesshoumaru slipped out into the hallway, silently closing the door behind him. He headed down the hall towards his study, but was intercepted by Jaken approaching him and bowing low.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, the wolf pack has arrived at the front gates," Jaken said with his nose pressed against the floor.
"Send someone to tell the wolf prince that his followers have arrived, and then tell them all to come to the hall," Sesshoumaru said, and then moved to walk around the still prostrate Jaken.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, there is more," Jaken said. A grunt from above told him to continue before his master lost patience. "A scout from the border has reported a group of two humans, a kitsune, a neko youkai, and an inu hanyou heading for the castle."
"My brother and his companions?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Hai, milord," Jaken said tentatively.
"Notify me when he gets here," Sesshoumaru said, then continued on his way, though with a new destination in mind.
