Chapter 9 –
Ninth
Kagome wanted
to just disappear. There she was deep in it again. How did she manage to get
herself into these situations?
“Lord
Sesshomaru, may I introduce Lady Kikyo.” She sounded breathless. Kagome hoped
more than anything he hadn’t heard what she had just said to Kikyo.
“My lord” she
made a little curtsey and fluttered her lashes at him. He was not impressed.
“Lady Kikyo,
if you would excuse us.” He then turned his full attention to Kagome and said,
“We became worried at your delay. So I came in search of you.”
“I was just on
my way back.” Kagome said and hope he would take it as a hint not to say
anything else.
“Goodbye Lady
Kikyo, I hope you enjoy the rest of the performance.” Kagome said turning.
Kikyo was not so easily dismissed.
“Goodnight
Miss Higurashi, Lord Sesshomaru. Congratulations on your engagement.”
Kagome almost
fell over. “But we’re not…..”
“Thank you
Lady Kikyo.” Sesshomaru said quickly.
‘What?’
Kagome’s mind screamed. “I didn’t….”
“Please excuse
us. My fiancé seems fatigued. I will escort her back to our box.” Sesshomaru
took Kagome’s arm and looped around his own and led the shock stricken girl
away. Kikyo smiled to herself as she watched the pair walk away.
~~~~
She couldn’t
breathe. She felt as if the walls were closing in on her. They walked in
silence back to the box where Sango and Inuyasha were waiting. Sesshomaru
parted the curtains for her to walk tgh tgh to take their seats. They were
surprised to see the box empty. Inuyasha and Sango were not there. ‘Where could
they be?’ Kagome thought.
She took her
seat. Sesshomaru sat on the seat facing her and just stared.
“How dare
you?” Kagome lost the rein on her temper.
“As I recall I
was not the one telling Lady Kikyo of our engagement.”
“There is no
engagement.” She tried to keep her voice low but it was very hard.
“That’s not
what it sounded like to me.” He shot back.
“I was not
telling her we were engaged, I only said you had asked.”
“I didn’t hear
you say you refused.” He countered.
“I can’t
believe this. I can’t believe this.” She rubbed her temples. “This is going to
be all over town by tomorrow.” She sighed. “Why did you have to say that I was
your fiancé?”
He had the
gall to wink and smile at her. He was enjoying this, the bastard.
“I think it’s
time to leave. You are obviously distraught and we should find our companions.”
He looked out towards a couple of boxes across the theater and he could have
been blinded by reflections coming off several opera glasses aimed at them. “It
seems the news is already out.” Kagome followed his gaze. She groaned out loud.
He grabbed her elbow and guided her to stand. At that moment Inuyasha and Sango
appeared. Kagome looked accusingly at them as if to blame them for allowing
Sesshomaru to go looking for her, but Sango looked radiant and she was blushing
furiously. She had a smile from ear to ear. Kagome couldn’t be mad at her. She
should only blame herself for opening her big mouth. Inuyasha was probably
responsible for putting that smile on her face. Kagome felt a stab of envy.
“We were on
our way to look for you.” Kagome said.
“We took a
walk.” Sango answered and gave a mischievous look to Inuyasha, who stood there
hands clasped behind his back.
“I’ve grown
bored with this performance we should leave.” Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha nodded
in agreement. They vacated the box. Inuyasha collected their cloaks and hats,
while Sesshomaru went in search of the carriage. The minute they were alone
Sango whispered, “What happened?”
“I …don’t. I
can’t. I’ll tell you later.” Kagome said. What was she going to say to her
friend? That she was engaged even though she didn’t want to. That if she denied
the engagement she would be ruined and all because she let Lady Kikyo bait her.
No she couldn’t say that to her. Again in less than a week she found herself
trying to get out of another bad situation.
A few minutes
later, the four of them sat in the carriage that was making its way through the
crowded streets. There were dozens of carriages on the streets with people
making their way from one ball to another. A trip back to the Matsamura
townhouse that would have usually taken 20 minutes was taking forever. No one
spoke. Sango and Kagome sat on one side, and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru sat on the
other. Kagome was deep in thought.
She was
thinking of what her options were and she was also determined to completely
ignore Lord Sesshomaru. She considered crying off the non-existent engagement.
It would ruin her socially, but she was already considered an undesirable.
However, Kagome didn’t think she could bear the gossip that would ensue. She
could remove herself to the country, away from everyone. Go where no one could
find her. She would have had to leave sooner or later after Sango married, why
not just do it now?
Sango, her
friend who’s happiness made her ache. She looked at her out of the corner of
her eye and saw her looking at the man she was promised to marry. They looked
at each other and she smiled. Looking away her eyes met with Sesshomaru’s. She
lowered her gaze. There was another possibility, she thought. What if she
accepted and married this stranger. She stole a glance at him. He was rich, she
thought to herself. He was definitely interested in her, even though she had no
clue as to why. He was handsome in a dandified sort of way, with an aristocratic
nose, and eyes that reminded her of a cat’s. He had deep golden eyes that never
seemed to give away any hint of emotion. And he seemed pale in comparison to
his friend’s golden tan. His hair was cut fashionably down to his shoulders and
it was the palest blond she had ever seen. Nothing like Inuyasha’s silver hair.
Why did she keep comparing the two?
She was
interrupted from her thoughts when they arrived at the Matsamura townhouse.
Sesshomaru and
Inuyasha steeped out to escort them back to the house. Sango took Inuyasha’s
extended hand and they walked to the door. When Sesshomaru did the same Kagome
didn’t want to take it. But if she was considering marrying this man she would
have to be civil.
They
said their goodbyes and after they were inside Sango dragged Kagome to the
parlor.
“Will you be
needing anything ma’am?” asked one of the maids.
“Will you
bring some tea, and I will be retiring shortly. Could you have a bath prepared
in my room?” Sango asked as she handed the maid her cloak.
“Yes ma’am.”
They sat in
silence for a while. Kagome resigned herself. She then proceeded to tell Sango
what happened at the theater. After she was done, Sango sipped her tea with
this thoughtful look on her face.
“What are you
going to do?” she said after a while.
“I don’t know.
What can I do? I thought about accepting his proposal, but I don’t love him.
How can I marry someone I don’t love?” Kagome said her voice cracking.
“You always
were the romantic. Calm yourself. I will help you. Even though I think you should
marry him. It would secure your future. He seems to be a man who gets what he
wants. Why not just give in?”
Kagome started
rubbing her temples again. Sango could tell how tense she was.
“Look, you
don’t have to make a decision right now. Tomorrow we’ll see how bad the damage
is. Why don’t you go upstairs and take a bath? You can use the one I asked for.
I’m too tired. I’ll just sleep in your room tonight. Ok?”
Kagome thought
a nice hot bath sounded like heaven “Ok.”
**
After making
the necessary arrangements Kagome dismissed the maid for the night and began to
undress. The bath tub had been brought over and filled with steaming buckets of
water and another one warmed by the fire. A curtain-like set up was up in order
to keep the steam in. She lowered herself in to the warm water and sighed. She
could feel the heat soothe her muscles. She had been too tense for too long.
She closed her eyes and let her mind wonder. She wasn’t going to think about
anything now, she will think about it tomorrow.
Kagome didn’t
know how long she laid there. She was relaxed and felt better. The water
started to cool. She opened her eyes and was debating whether she should get
the other bucket or not. Torn, she decided it was time to go to sleep. She
stood and wrapped a towel around herself tucking the ends under her arm. She
untied her hair and stepped out of the tub. She opened the curtain and stepped
onto the carpet. She padded lightly towards the other end of the room where her
nightgown lay. She was half way there when suddenly she realized she wasn’t
alone in the room. Kagome looked around the room, the fire had burned down low
and she couldn’t see very well. In a shadowed corner of the room she caught a
glimpse of silver and she swallowed hard. He emerged from the shadows, slowly.
She was shocked into silence. She felt like she couldn’t move a muscle as she
watched Inuyasha Fleming walk towards her. She managed to pry her mouth open
and say
“What are you
doing here?” she said, panic creeping into her voice.
“I should ask
you the same question.” He said so casually, as if he had met her in a ballroom
rather than in Sango’s bedroom where she was naked for all intents and
purposes. The thin towel was of no protection at all. Her legs were in full
view and she noticed his attire was definitely different from other occasions.
He was only wearing his shirtsleeves and no cravat. She noticed his chest was
exposed by the gaping neckline. She suddenly realized that he may have had an
assignation to meet Sango. Thoughts of they way they looked earlier in the
evening flashed through her mind. Sango flushed and smiling and Inuyasha, well
he looked they way he always looked. serious and yet mischievous at the same
time. Sango would never have switched rooms with her if that were true.
‘Maybe she
forgot’ Kagome said to herself.
‘Idiot, would
you forget?’ Her mind answered back.
“Um… Sango is
in the other room, through that door.” She pointed in the direction of the
connecting door. He didn’t seem to hear her and he kept coming closer and closer.
She looked around frantically for something to cover herself with. Her dressing
gown was behind him and she was afraid to even move. He was within arms reach
now and he said, “I just wanted a taste.” He reached for her. He wrapped his
arm around her waist, she held on to her towel for dear life but was thrilled
by his touch she couldn’t think.
“You need to
leave, you shouldn’t be here. It’s not right. What about Sango?” She squeaked
the protests that she should have shouted and raised the entire household.
But for some
perverted irrational, yet primal reason she didn’t want to. She liked being
held like this by him. He began caressing her back in a soothing up and motion
that made her skin burn. She sighed deeply and didn’t say another word. He held
her still like that for several moments. Her heart was beating a mile a minute.
Her hands were trapped between their bodies trying to hold the towel in place.
“I don’t want
to hurt you.” He said in a low voice against her ear. “Do you believe me?”
She nodded
since she could not speak. His breath on her ear was sending her out of
control. Her body trembled in anticipation. “Let go of the towel.” He
commanded.
Her fingers
went lax and the towel slipped away. He still held her close. “Good girl.”
After that everything was as if she was someone else. His hands explored her
naked body. She arched her back, her breasts asking for attention tra traced
circles around her dark peaks and a moan escaped her. He then traced one finger
down her stomach, pausing at the belly button. “Do you want me to go on?” He
asked, momentarily breaking her delirium. She nodded. “No, tell me you want me
to keep going.” For some a reason she had never encountered before, the way he
was talking to her made the little nn ofn of warm flesh between her thighs to
throb even more. She said, “I want you to keep going.” He smiled at this. He
took his hand and kept tracing until he reached the small patch of hair that
kept him from his goal. He lifted her up and carried her towards the bed. He laid
her near the middle of the bed. She was fully exposed to him like this.
She tried to
cover up, but he stopped her. “It’s too late for that. Just relax and open
yourself to me.” She obeyed. Kagome closed her eyes wng fng for him to touch
her again, after a few moments she wondered what kept him. She opened her eyes
to find him watching her. He had shed his clothes and stood naked before her.
Her breath caught at the sight of him. He was magnificent. She had never seen a
man naked before, but she knew he was as perfect as a male specimen could be.
His shoulders were broad mus muscular. She glanced down and she was shocked to
see how large his shaft was. She knew enough about the sexual act between men
and women to know that he will open her legs and enter her. This thought was
thrilling but his engorged shaft was enormous in her eyes. A bit of fear crept
into her at the thought.
As if reading
her mind, he began caressing her again. She felt his touch ignite her desire
anew. She longed for him to touch her were she needed it the most. He leaned
down and took one rosy nipple in his mouth and suckled her until her hips began
searching for him. He then took the other and sucked and bit gently until her
moans threatened to be too loud. He finally silenced her with a kiss. She clung
to him and ran her hands through his hair. He broke the kiss to touch her
again. This time he traced his tongue down her belly. This thrilled her
as nothing else had. When he reached the soft hair that curled wildly at the
apex of her legs he could smell her desire. He caressed down her thighs and
parted her legs. In the low light he could tell she was drenched in her own
juices. She had her eyes closed in anticipation. When he began to caress up the
inside of her leg, she thought she would die from the throbbing. Just about
when she thought she couldn’t take it anymore she felt the tip of his finger
part her and rub her in circles that had her on the verge of a scream. It felt
so good she thought. She could feel he had two fingers on her now. He was going
up and down across her clit, bringing her higher and higher to an unknown peak
that was driving her mad. Then those two fingers stopped and pushed into her.
She could feel as he slowly parted her lips and entered those two wonderful fingers
into her. Suddenly a cold chill gripped her. Her eyes snapped open and for a
second, she didn’t know where she was. The fire in the hearth seemed brighter
and she was shivering. The water in the tub coo cooled.
“It was all a
dream.” She whispered. Realizing what had happened, she got out of the tub.
