Summary: What are Sesshomaru's plans for Kagome? Why is he leading her father away from the crowd? What happened to Hojo? The sequel to 'A Sea of Masks'.

Note; Sorry I left so much out. This should explain it. There will not be anything after this. (There will be a longer not explaining everything at the end of this fanfiction.) Also if I put a * next to something it means I'll explain it at the end (:

"Sesshomaru, where are we going?" Kagome asked quietly as Sesshomaru led her towards the gleaming manor. The luminous white marble steps shone as they approached them, feeling a slight sense of déjà vu as they climbed the marble staircase. She thread her arm through his as she clutched her dress so she wouldn't trip, she admired his bone structure and the markings on his face as they ascended.

"You will see, soon enough" Sesshomaru smirked.

Kagome softly smiled as she was reminded of a romantic tale of a human and demon she read about in her historically studies at University. It was rather sweet... in a sense that a mere human was able to quell the icy nature in the heart of a stoic lord*, it was a shame however that she didn't live as long as her husband... the death of her made him regain his icy persona. I wonder why she died... maybe we will get to that at the next class... Kagome thought as they reached the top of the staircase.

Looking over her shoulder and through her raven black locks she saw the enormous maze and just thought it was better that she wasn't in its confides anymore. The huge shining doors where open as Sesshomaru approached, Kagome looked at the two servants and noticed their cat tails sweeping along the floor, as if doing the job of that while they attended the doors.

He led her through the still gleaming and decorated ballroom, towards a staircase that connected to the room, gleaming and golden. Kagome resisted the urge to smirk as she imagined Sesshomaru and his father and brother descending the stairs with all eyes on them; such a classy way to enter, but very clichéd for my tastes. Kagome looked to Sesshomaru and wondered what exactly was going on in his brain.

I wish I could make conversation, but with all those articles I have read about him, he abhors conversation... oh well it'll be a first. Kagome thought as she opened her mouth, "So I hear you don't enjoy conversation with woman much... is this true?"

A chuckle was heard from the other person as he turned sparkling golden eyes to her and spoke. "I do enjoy conversation, however it has to be at the right time and have the right context or I will get very bored. Most females just talk about themselves; that's very boring because after a while you've heard it all." Sesshomaru smirked.

"I guess after all the women who have tried to grasp your attention, you've heard it all, and every lie and every truth am I correct?" Kagome smiled.

"Why Miss. Higurashi, with all these questions I should ask you if you're a reporter... I think you'd be too obvious however..." Sesshomaru trailed off and let a malicious grin spread about his features.

Kagome's heart skipped a beat, she didn't know if it was in fear or because he was gorgeous even when look like he was about to tear someone's heart out. "You know for a fact I am not a reporter, I find spying on other people and invading their privacy is... well... distressing." Kagome voiced, knowing that was her opinion. Wow this is the most I have ever heard him talk...

Kagome was distracted from her musings as the scenery surrounded them changed and became less ostentatious. She was thrilled and a little worried about the sudden change, a list of questions came to mind; she didn't want to ask any of them for fear of Sesshomaru getting angry.

"I sense your discomfort in the sudden change, all the stuff in the ballroom is an act. They believe we're rich so we put on a show, I however think all the decoration is a bit over the top and far too pretentious." Sesshomaru stated monotonously.

Kagome nodded looking at the plain black walls which held a light or two every few steps. Hardly noticing as Sesshomaru pulled her to a stop in front of a simple black door with a polished silver handle, watching as he raised a clawed hand and opened the door. Kagome gasped at the room it was magnificent to say the very least.

Black silk adorned the French doors which lead to a balcony; a double wide futon lay in the middle of the back wall, slightly raised from the ground. Black sheets decorated the bed; a soft pattern of a leafless tree was white against the black, it was very elegant. Black furniture decorated the room in the right places; it looks like a freaking catalogue... to picturesque ad perfect.

Kagome watched Sesshomaru like a cat, studying he's every move as he made his way gracefully to the bed, sitting down with one long leg over the other. Sesshomaru softly patted the space next to him on the futon, Kagome was a little cautious as she went to slowly fill the space next to him, as soon as she filled the space Sesshomaru leaned closer to her.

He stopped and smiled and moved a little further back, Kagome looked at him questioningly. The smile never wavered as he took a strand of her midnight black hair and put it to his face and sniffed. Kagome admired the way her black hair looked in his alabaster white hand.

"Before we go any further... I feel it would be an excellent time to tell you why I have brought you to my quarters" Sesshomaru decided.

-SsS-

Hojo looked around frantically for Kagome, knowing she would be somewhere near the exit of the maze with the others, getting her wounds fixed. Everyone even the demons have wounds... it would be unheard of if she, a human, got through without a single wound. He looked around where everyone was getting their wounds clean and couldn't find her.

Sighing he went to turn away and caught a whiff of a delightful scent, turning around he found himself face to face with a woman. She's beautiful... it makes my heart want to stop dead in my chest. Hojo thought as he looked into the deep black eyes, sucking him in like a black hole, black hair surrounding luminous pure white skin. Shaking his head out of the stupor he found himself in, he once again looked around for Kagome before turning back to the lady.

"Um excuse me; you haven't seen anyone around here that looks sort of like you except with blue eyes and shorter hair?" He asked politely.

"Yes, I think I saw her head that way." The woman said, pointing to a cluster of trees that lined the premises.

He nodded and looked at the woman; her skin glowing from the moonlight was almost mesmerizing, the dark red dress she wore only emphasized her skin colour.

"Would you like me to help you search for her?" She asked with a smile, ruby red lips curving upwards showing a few perfect white pearls.

"That would be nice..." Hojo admitted, a light blush staining his cheeks.

She threaded her arm through his as they walked to the cluster of trees; when she touched him he felt an electric shock go through him and the hairs on his neck stood to attention.

-SsS-

Sesshomaru smiled down at the little human sitting on his futon. He knew he would have to explain why she, of all the other humans, was so appealing to him and why he brought her here. "Kagome look at me" he ordered softly.

Once the sapphire blue eyes looked at him he knew he wouldn't last long before his natural instinct kicked in. "Kagome... the reason I bought you here is because you're appealing to me, I know you've probably heard that a lot but your scent was the first thing about you I noticed... You are what my kind calls a 'blood singer'* or 'blood siren'. Basically your blood is calling out to me, asking to be claimed." Sesshomaru explained matter-of-factly.

He watched as the girls eyes widened then slowly went back to normal as realisation dawned in her mind, her eyes looking up to him and her painted lips opening and closing like a fish.

"What do you mean by claimed?" She asked in a small voice, barely audible.

He couldn't stop the grin as he answered her. "Well... it means... we're going to have some fun, that I can smell you haven't had before." She blushed and he smelt her arousal.

Unable to control the urge anymore he bowed his head a little and captured her lips in a searing kiss, winding his arms around her waist as she snaked her arms around his neck. He pulled her as he fell on his back, creamy white legs on either side of his and a delicious weight around his pelvis, he held in a groan and kept kissing her. Growling and moving and arm to behind her neck as she tried to move away he deepened the kiss.

He licked at her lips demanding entrance, she gasped and he chose that time to intrude. Silky tongue licking at hers, as a short lived battle for dominance on her side was lost. They slid together in a hold meld of wetness and silken tongues, he felt Kagome moan into his mouth as her arousal spiked.

He released her mouth and let her breathe, watching as she took in large breathes as he breathed in lightly. He pulled her gently down again making her lie flat against his body as he claimed her mouth again, letting the melding of tongues distract her as he shifted his other hand from his hip to the back of her dress, finding the zipper that held it in place.

Slowly he pulled down the zipper, revealing her silken creamy flesh to the soft moonlight flitting through the light black silk drapes. Ugh, why must we demons love to touch others intimately...? Sesshomaru thought as his hands invaded the open back of her dress, fingers dancing along silky skin.

He saw confusion dawn in her eyes as she suddenly found herself underneath Sesshomaru, legs half heartedly propped up and closed, gently spreading her legs he wedged his way between them. He smoothly pulled her to him, her legs parting to go around his, making sure she was comfortable before he started the kissing again. While his hands pulled down her dress, past her shoulders and down until it was off and thrown haphazardly to a random place in a corner, he assumed, in the room.

He licked his lips as he studied every curve of the glowing milky skin, looking to Kagome's face he grinned at her swollen lips and half lidded sapphire eyes, long lashes creating a light shadow across her cheeks. He put an arm on either side of her waist and leaned down and nipped at her jawbone, slowly moving to her ear as he latched onto a tender lobe.

Growling in delight as he heard the sounds coming from her mouth, he licked it, savouring the softness of it. Getting bored he licked at her neck until he found the pulse point and sucked on it, hard enough to leave a mark, he felt her cry out and arch her body up to grind against his in a mouth-watering friction.

He gripped her hip in one hand and let the other twist up her body and rubbed her breast as he needed at her collarbone lapping and biting at the tender skin. He slowly slipped a hand into the confines of her bra stroking a thumb over the tender nub softly, admiring how soft the skin around it was as it grew harder.

Sesshomaru growled and removed the offending article of clothing, looking up at her blushing face and noticed how the blush could be seen in the low light. She gasped as he licked down in between her breast, hands kneading both of them as he lightly blew warm air on the cool saliva. He slowly and softly kissed his way towards one of the raised nubs.

She moaned as he softly nipped at one, he released the small nub and moved down to lick it, silently savouring the sounds she was making as he tasted her. He moved to the other breast as a clawed hand moved over the other, softly stroking the pink nub; making it fully sensitized and hard, Sesshomaru growled in pleasure at the soft moan he drew from the petit girl.

He moved his mouth from the sensitised nub, licking slowly down her belly, dipping his tongue into her navel, watching her chest rise and fall faster and faster. He smirked as he trailed his lips lower down, hearing her breathing slightly hitch. Smirking, he kissed even lower, a fine layer of curled hair covering her most intimate area, keeping the smirk on his face; he kissed around the heated area.

Licking and gently nipping the tender flesh of her well toned thighs, he growled in delight as his hand that was currently on her hip, ran down the outside of her leg, before running back up to go between her thighs and slowly brush through the fine curly hair his lips moving ever so slowly back up her silken thighs. He slowly slipped a clawed finger between the lips of her most intimate area.

"Ahhh..." A soft pleasured sound escaped Kagome's lips.

Such a small thing to do and yet she's already reacting so strongly... how amusing. Sesshomaru thought before continuing his ministrations, letting the claw softly slip over the over-sensitive clitoris. He grinned and kept stroking while he kissed his way to the heated body part, keeping one hand winded around her thigh, as he moved closer, spreading the lips with the clawed hand.

He heard soft gasps of air coming from her before he licked a small path down to her clitoris; licking it a few times he savoured the sounds she made above him. Each breathy moan and sharp intake of air, like a soft melody to his ears, only he would hear them, he would make sure of that. He licked a trail down then back up to the sensitive nub, hearing her breathing hitch, he smirked against the heated skin, this was almost too easy, he thought lapping at the small bit of skin.

He heard the rustling of the sheets as she writhed and gripped them; he gave one last lick before a finger circled around her opening before it was slowly thrust in. He heard her give a delectable little yelp as he moved the finger around slowly, judging by the way her body was responding he added another finger, feeling the wetness around his fingers growing.

His acute senses picking up on the fact she was growing closer to her climax, he added the third finger and started stretching, knowing if she was going to accommodate his size, it would need a little bit of stretching. His smell receptors sensing that she was too close, he withdrew his fingers and mouth and sat up, looking down at her.

"I believe... it is time you help this Sesshomaru..." He ordered, once her eyes were open and looking at him. He motioned down to the bulge in his pants, watching with piercing yellow eyes as she slowly sat up, he moved to where she was sitting, smirking at her. Sesshomaru looked to her, realising she probably didn't even see him move, which isn't surprising when he used his demonic speed.

He watched as she crawled to him, almost cat like if it wasn't for her state of euphoric bliss washing through her body, making her movements on the clumsy side. She sat between his legs, spreading them, he watched as she looked down, seeing the offending article of clothing blocking the way of her job. He felt her hand slowly run up his thigh, a lazy and sensual movement; he felt his organ twitch in anticipation.

Watching as her long fingers went for the fly, restricting his cock to an almost painful level; he gasped as she undid the restricting garment and started pulling it off of him. Feeling his cock spring free, he noted that she also took his underwear along with his pants, he smirked a little at that, wondering if she realised that.

After he felt Kagome slip the pants off of his legs, he watched as she set herself between his legs, lying down so the pale moonlight played along her marble skin. He noted her soft curves and the way her skin seemed to almost glow in the pale moonlight that flitted through the curtains, he would have her, the only way he could.

Okay... I know this is an awful place to end this... but I am sorry I have run into massive writers block for this. I just do not want to write it! Maybe one day I will finish this... but until then... well you guys will have to make up the ending. But I planned for her to die, he wanted her heart, and he got it, by tearing it from her after a moment of passion, poetic but tragic.

Sorry.
