Hi everybody,
So… I've had this idea a while ago, but school stuff kept me from writing. I truly hope you enjoy it and, please, don't forget to review afterwards.
Chapter One
Spinning Stars
The group was sitting comfortably by the fire. Autumn already stepping in, making them long for the summer nights, when the fire was there just to be used to cook. Unfortunately, they had no such luck. Kagome was reading some school notes, meanwhile Shippoo was playing with Kirara, Sango and Miroku were talking about something and Inuyasha just sat there, stealing glances to the others and to the forest.
They were in a secure location, which was a fact. There was no reason to worries, he new his friends would protect him no matter what, but to depend was something Inuyasha did not like to. It had to be the worst day of the month and, damn, every single month had a damn full moon. And it sucked. A lot.
"It's OK, Inuyasha, you don't have to be anxious". Kagome said, without looking up
"I'm not". Now Kagome looked from the notebook to the hanyo's face.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Damn yeah". 'Damn all mikos and their stupid reading abilities'.
"You know, Inuyasha, only a truly brave man would allow being vulnerable at some points in life…" Miroku added from across the camp.
"Feh!" Inuyasha answered, moving from the entrance of the cave to sit somewhere in the back. Kagome smiled to Miroku, sort f thanking him for helping her to calm Inuyasha. No matter how many times they had passed through Inuyasha's transformation from hanyo to human, in all three years she had been in the feudal era, Inuyasha would still be a pain, always trying so hard to look strong.
Kagome smiled again, now to herself, remembering just how many times they fought because Inuyasha's stubborn way to deal with the day of the new moon. Suddenly a shiver went up her spine. She looked to Inuyasha only to realize that he was sleeping. 'Good', the girl thought. Then she moved her eyes to Shippoo and Kirara, still playing, then to Sango and Miroku.
Miroku looked to Kagome and nodded. Sango was sort of lost.
"What is it?"
"Some one is coming, my dear Sango". Miroku answered.
"Who? Naraku?"
"No". Kagome said. "Sesshomaru".
"Should we wake Inuyasha up?" Sango asked them, already reaching out for Hirakotsu.
"I don't think that would be a nice idea". Miroku said.
"No, it is not, I'm going outside, to talk to Sesshomaru, he is a Lord, for heaven's sake, he'll prefer words to swords, right?" Kagome said.
"Do you think that's better then waking Inuyasha up?" Sango asked. "It's too dangerous". She completed.
"We'll have to wait and see".
"We'll be right here for you then". Miroku said, already standing up, waiting for the out come. 'Miss Kagome does have a lot of diplomacy, maybe the Lord will just pass by'.
Kagome positioned herself in the front of the cave. She was afraid, not for herself, but for her friends safety.
"Fear is a disgusting thing, human".
"Sesshomaru… sama", she added carefully, he narrowed his eyes. "May I assist you with something?".
"You dare say This Sesshomaru needs assistance form a mere ningen?" Sesshomaru asked, reaching for tokijin's hilt.
"N-No Sesshomaru-sama, it's just that, I mean, perhaps, well…".
"You are here to prevent this Sesshomaru's entrance on the cave?" He asked with a malicious smirk that made Kagome's neck stand up. "Pathetic". Sesshomaru said, motioning to get in, only to see Kagome stepping in front of him.
"Sesshomaru-sama, I'm sorry, but maybe it would be better if you did not come in".
Smirk. Again.
"You and your filth group are trespassing my lands, therefore this Sesshomaru is allowed to do as he pleases".
"Are you sure?" She asked, positioning herself again in front of him. All fear vanishing from her system.
"You dare question me miko? Do you have a will to be beheaded?" Then he unsheathed tokinjin. 'How come she isn't pledging for her life? She was afraid moments ago'.
Kagome said nothing.
"What are you hiding, miko? It there something you'd rather keep from This Sesshomaru?" He said and smelled the air.
"How interesting. So the new moon marks the hanyo's weaker day? This Sesshomaru fears he'll have to wipe him out of the earth's face".
"You won't". Kagome allowed her powers to follow and create a barrier at the entrance of the cave, making sure she was left out of it.
"Interesting, but useless, miko".
"And why is that, Sesshomaru? Are you going to kill you own brother when he is not able to defend himself properly?". 'Now' Kagome thought 'I'm as good as dead'. Messing with Sesshomaru was probably the worst idea ever, but it was the only thing that occurred to prevent him to get into the cave.
Something flickered inside him. 'How dare she?'. He unsheathed tokinjin and aimed precisely to her neck.
"What is with you humans and this desire for self inflicted death?".
"Let's take this somewhere else". Kagome hurriedly said. Sesshomaru frowned. 'Is she willing to fight This Sesshomaru, just to prevent the hanyo's death?'.
Kagome saw him frown, quietly she asked for all the Kamys in heaven for him to accept her proposition… Perhaps fighting Sesshomaru wasn't so hard, right? 'Darn, I'm so screwed'.
"Useless". And then he turned around and left. Just like that. To say that she was mad would be a start. 'It's ok to say that it's better not t fight Sesshomaru, than actually fighting him, but, I'm not that bad in battle field! I would make a good fight'. Kagome was sort of musing to herself meanwhile watching him retreat into the woods, and without a second thought she lashed a wave of power at him.
(Not some sort of magic out burst, but, follow me, it's as if she concentrated on a bush and canalized her powers through it. Remember this capacity, it will matter later some time! -p)
Sesshomaru stopped on his track. 'Did she?' He looked sideways to check the burned-to-ashes bush. 'She did'. In a flash Kagome was being pinned against the rocky side of the cave. He had put them on a blind spot, meaning nether of Kagome's friend could see her right now.
Sesshomaru's eyes were a bit tainted in red, his perfect hair was floating all around his face as a reflex of the sudden speed. His lips were apart, showing off some teeth. He was holding Kagome by the neck, but not pressing, so she wasn't without air. But for some weird motive she'd rather not consider now, she was indeed breathless. The way he was pressing his body against hers, how his left leg found a way to put itself between hers. Not to mention his arm, the same one holding a silent threat on her life, was also pressed between her breasts, and all Kagome could thing about was his body warmth.
The Demon Lord thought that the speed would serve as a lesson, that he was not at all impressed at her powers, 'lie', or that his beast trying t surface and tear her apart, 'limb by limb and useless pieces of cloth and then…'. Sesshomaru snapped out of his daze. Kagome was so tight against the cave wall and her black hair was everywhere, some even dared touch her round doll-like face, and the way her lips hanged slightly open, somehow daring everyone and anyone to prove them. Her breathing came in fast and uneven breaths, and her face took this shade of red and, suddenly, Sesshomaru realized that he was holding her longer then he had anticipated. 'By now, she should've remembered to fear me'.
"Wench". He said. "Did you make a silly attempt against this Sesshomaru?" He said, pressing a bit his fingers against her soft neck.
"Yes". She said, without thinking.
"Are you mentally unstable?" He asked.
"No!" She said, louder then an Inu would appreciate. "What is it with you dog demons and over floated egos?". She mumbled again, without thinking.
"Are you unaware of how we stand, miko? Do you think I would show any sort of regret by killing you?"
"Of course not… And… I'm very aware of our position". She said, blushing an even darker shade of red. Sesshomaru only raised his eyebrow, not ready to think about her blush and it's meanings.
"I-I mean, I'm not worthless in battle, I've been training, and every body keeps dismissing my capacities as a warrior".
"Hn". He said, dropping her.
"Ought".
"You should use that as a triumph, not as a burden". He said, retreating again into the woods.
A few days had gone by. Sesshomaru knew that, by now, the hanyo would be back to his abhorrent self but he wasn't in the mood to face his annoyances or the way the half breed always assumed Sesshomaru wanted the damn fang. Of course, there may have been a time when Sesshomaru desired the fang. But now it was a useless piece of metal, considering he owned tokinjin.
But toying with Inuyasha wasn't as fun as it used to be. Now the troublesome onna could not find anything more important than staying with her friends. Meeting Inuyasha for a nice spar meant meeting the miko and that wasn't a nice idea, at all. Sesshomaru would spent his days observing the interaction between the miko and her friends. She was obnoxious, nosy, noisy, and way too caring for a single human.
Also, Sesshomaru realized, she had an unusual vocabulary and some study, because from time to time she would teach the kitsune how to read. And all that did not exclude her weird and indecent clothing.
Beyond all that, she also had this desire to bathe every single day. Some times she would even take two showers. Usually, bathing wasn't common between humans, for they simply didn't. In fact, it was mainly a court habit, to bathe regularly. Any way, when she did it by herself he would stay there and watch. Not that he held any sort of desire, of course, it's just that she used such uncommon bathing supplies that he only hanged around to understand it's origins. (yeah, right…)
Every time she stripped, to get into the water, he couldn't but stare at her form. The miko had an average body, nothing new for the young Lord. She wasn't completely skinny, as most beautiful demoness were. In fact, she had plenty meat, and that kept him from averting his eyes.
It started from her ankles, ties, hips, waist, breasts, neck and eyes. Even her eyes had a round sort of shape. And it enticed him beyond necessary, even Sesshomaru agreed to that.
Though it was worst when she left the water. The only image his mind refused to accept was licking her dry. And that was when he usually averted his eyes and waited for her to dress and return to her group.
Today was no different. He was patiently waiting for her to dress up and head back to her group, but then he realized the miko was heading on the opposite direction. 'How can she be so dense?'. He followed her silently, just waiting for her panic face once she realizes she is lost. A few minutes later, they reached a small clearing. 'She is quite far from her group.. What if I played with her for while?'. A smirk appeared in his lips. Sesshomaru was about to make an entrance, youki concealed, when Kagome turned on her hills looking straight at his direction. 'It can't…'
"You do know it is not polite to spy… Especially if is someone who is taking a shower".
'So she did feel me then…'. Sesshomaru slowly stepped out of the woods and looked viciously at her. He was picking, it was a fact, but it did not mean he was about to let a silly ningen say nonsense to one such as himself.
"Are you not too far from your pack?". He walked towards Kagome. The girl felt as if being stalked. Suddenly she did agree with him, she was indeed far from her friends, if Sesshomaru decided to kill her, she'd be completely helpless. 'That's not too good… Or healthy for the matter'. Kagome's sent spiked with fear and Sesshomaru stopped an inch from her face. 'Is she afraid of me now? Interesting…'.
"Why are you afraid of me, little miko?". The way he said it, she was sure the voice came from a true predator.
"You are right, I'm too far to be rescued".
"Why would you need rescue?".
"From you".
"How have you felt me if my presence was concealed?" That made Kagome's fear subside a little. 'So this is his point…'.
"Your aura is huge. Though your powers may conceal your youki, it can't hide your soul, Sesshomaru, at least not from me". 'So she knew it all along… This Sesshomaru could kill her for the insolence, but there is a much more interesting way to toy with her now…'.
"You were aware of being watched since the beginning?" He started to walk around Kagome, his voice cold and scary. "And did nothing? Do you like being watched, Kagome?" He said her name when he was behind her. He whispered it gently on her ear, meanwhile passing a single claw on her left arm, leaving behind a superficial cut.
Kagome was lost in emotions. She was unsure to what precisely she was feeling. The way his voice sounded, she should be digging her own grave this very moment. But something in the way he said her name made her uneasy. A knot formed on her throat. She was afraid right? She should fear for her life and Sesshomaru did not help at all when he cut her left arm. She pulled air between her teeth. Holding her breath for a second. Though she could help but feel sort of aroused with the hole display.
'That's it. I'm loosing it'.
He did not expect her to respond like that. Sesshomaru's beast almost took over, to rut her senseless. Almost. So he just walked around Kagome once again, to face her, stopping at a reasonable (and healthier for him) distance.
"Why is it, miko? That you weren't afraid before, yet now you fear me?".
"Well…". She said, putting her index finger on her chin. "I think that before, when you were just watching, there was no reason to do anything. These are your lands, after all, you can be anywhere you feel like. And, even before, I think I had a reason to stand up at you. I feared more loosing my friends then my life".
"And what if I decide to kill you right now?".
"Well, you won't. Not because you can't, but because I know you don't feel like killing me, if you did, I'd be dead by now".
"Hn".
It was all he said back. Sesshomaru started walking away. He had too much to think about. And Kagome just stood there, watching him leave. She had nothing to say to him, 'I need to pray to every Kami, down and above, to thank, considering he indeed could have killed me!'.
Kagome looked around, being sure that he had indeed left her to her luck, and that was when she felt it. That dark ominous youki that made the hair in her neck stand up. She felt chills up and down her spine. And it all could be resumed to one word.
"Naraku".
"Kukuku… You are a clever girl indeed, miko". Naraku said, appearing out of nowhere and materializing right in front of Kagome. He reached out and touched her chin and Kagome promptly stepped back.
"There is no need in running, dear, we are all alone…" He started walking towards her and Kagome could only hope Sesshomaru was close enough to smell Naraku.
"Sorry to say that the young Lord won't find us either. We are out of anyone's reach. Now it's just you and me and I wouldn't bother to try and lash out purifying powers…"
"What is it that you want, Naraku?" Kagome tried to sound cold, but she was trembling in fear and anticipation.
"What a bravado, that's one of your many qualities that I find most alluring…"
"Don't you come any step closer". Kagome barked at him. Suddenly she wished Sesshomaru had killed her instead because what Naraku was giving away seemed much more horrifying.
"You see, my dear, I have nothing but the choice of coming closer to you… That is necessary for my plans…"
"What are your plans, precisely?". She said meanwhile looking for a way to escape.
"Trying to talk out you escape? How engendering, useless, but engendering. You see, my dear, apparently you1ve been noticed by a certain Lord. Now, wouldn't it be beautiful for him to be killed by you?"
"What makes you think I'd cooperate with you, you are evil, I'd never associate with one such as yourself".
"Now, now, lets not get nervous, I'm not as naïve as you are, dear Kagome, I've foreseen that you'd be unwilling to help, so I've made sure to find a way to make you agree. Kanna". Naraku looked over his shoulder, when he called for his minion.
Kanna walked in, holding a tray and a glass filled with a brownish liquid that smelled like decomposing bodies. Dark shadows followed Kanna. Kagome thought they looked like real shadows, when you are walking in the afternoon and you to the floor only to see your image a bit bigger that yourself, walking with you. The black thingies had no face, nothing… 'That's precisely it… They are… Nothingness…'. Kagome mused to herself. Her stomach seemed to be folding over itself, the miko was about to throw up when Naraku send the weird shadows hold her down.
They put her lying down on an old tree trunk on the floor so she was facing up. She could see the stars. They looked so shiny, so happy. Tears fell from her face. She did not know what Naraku planned to do to her, but apparently it concerned killing Sesshomaru and she wasn't ready for that either.
Naraku laid on top of her. Kagome wanted to scream, to bite him… To spit on him, but she couldn't. She was in fact paralyzed in fear and that was a horrible sensation. She could feel his aroused member between her legs. She whimpered.
"Don't worry". Naraku said, removing her messy hair from her face. "I won't take you now, dear, not now, at least, or it can ruin my plans… We wouldn't want that, right? No we wouldn't".
"You are disgusting". Kagome bit out. And Naraku slapped her face.
"Kanna, come closer, let's see how she'll react when she is being controlled". Naraku picked up the glass and made Kagome swallow every single drop. She wanted to throw up, but the way she was being held kept her from doing so… The stars started to spin and mix… And everything went black.
