Summary

: He was a demon and it was natural that he ached to corrupt her purity so completely and thoroughly that she would never be able to flee the darkness and so corrupt her he did.

Sesshoumaru left the tired, sated miko in the thick of the evening.

It was moonless and the darkness was suffocating as he made his way into the adjoining sitting room.

Crimson eyes were unblinking, the figure they belonged to at home in the darkness that surrounded him.

Sesshoumaru took a seat across the true demon and leaned in his chair indolently.

Sebastian scoffed.

Sesshoumaru's lips twitched upward.

"We find ourselves at an impasse." Sebastian uttered, his voice dripping with venom.

The taiyoukai nodded his head, "We do. The miko will not come willingly to your arms, you will forever be tricking her into your bed."

Sebastian's lips curled, all the refinery and his human guise stripped away, "I do not need the miko's love as you do, dog." The word sounded like an insult spat from his lips. He had tasted heaven between her thighs, felt euphoria from her aura, it would be a small death to let her slip through his fingers.

Sesshoumaru's glare was there, his tone frosty, "Good. I will not be selfish with her body, but her love is entirely other matter. I will not share it."

There was a rustle of feathers and Sebastian leaned forward, "So what, dog, what do we do? If I kill you then she will run far from me."

A silvery brow went up, "I do not die easily but you are correct in that matter, she would run if you somehow succeeded. You will become pack – that is the nature of my kind. It is the only way I can allow you access to her without my instincts becoming an issue. Killing you would bring her some measure of grief and I am loathe to cause her that now that she has fallen into my arms."

Sebastian laughed this time, a deep laugh that nearly brought tears to his eyes, "Pack? To a bunch of dogs?" Sesshoumaru let him laugh despite the urge to rip out his throat because in the end he had won, whether the true demon saw it yet or not.

Sesshoumaru nodded his head, "It is that or we will battle every time you approach her." His smile was sharp and dangerous, "Dogs are territorial, after all."

The laughter died and Sebastian mulled it over, "And if I agree to becoming a part of the pack? Then what, hm?"

"You have access to the miko. She called you an – " Sesshoumaru stopped and tilted his head, " – an added bonus. I do not think she would continue to fight you… as long as you gave up claim over the boy."

Sebastian's lips curled, "Back to the young master, are we?"

Sesshoumaru nodded, "If you want her, that will be the price. Pack and the boy. You decide."

"And who are you to decide her price?" Sebastian asked, displeasure on his lovely features.

"Her alpha." Sesshoumaru stood and let loose some of the hair ruffling power that he typically kept contained, "I am her alpha and she is mine." His lips curled over his fangs, they glittered in the little light trickling in the room. The clouds moved through the sky and Sesshoumaru's golden gaze was turning crimson as he repeated, "You want the miko then the price is pack and the life of the boy. Should you decide no and pursue her anyway… I will kill you."

Crimson retreated and the control over his impressive power was returning.

Sebastian turned away from the Western Dog and then he was gone in a flurry of feathers.

He heard her voice from the bedroom, "Sesshoumaru?"

Sesshoumaru's gaze remained on the spot where the demon and sat and he narrowed his eyes before returning to the bedroom.

'Gome Yuki: I reread this story and needs some rewriting because there are things I don't like about it but overall, it's not bad. It's shameless shipping and I love shameless shipping. Thank you for all the support! Review so I know there are still people interested in this?
