Yes I know I have other stuff I'm working on, but who can resist an occasional challenge? Hope you enjoy this!
Kagome slid her finger up the broad expanse of the inuyokai’s toned chest, soothed by its even rising and falling as he rested. The reason he was in such dire need of a rest still made her blush profusely, even thought today marked the five year anniversary of their agreement.
Five years prior, Kagome was nineteen and had just gotten out of yet another bad relationship. Her lover, fuelled by his constant jealousy, declared that it was impossible to be with one such as her. Kagome huffed at the memory and moved up, resting her head under the youkai’s chin, still peeved at someone daring to insinuate that she was easy out of all things. And that was when Sesshomaru came into the picture.
That day, Kagome sat alone in the park, attempting to make it look as if she was enjoying the book she was reading when really all she could do was think over her past relationships. What exactly went wrong? She did everything by the book for Kamis sake! Blowing her bangs out of the way in irritation, Kagome turned a page and tried to concentrate on the words, her finger trailing along the lines for better focus. Yes, this was much better than thinking about the useless men that claimed that... maybe she was smothering them?
Deep in her thoughts, pouting Kagome failed to notice when a tall handsome man slid smoothly onto the bench she was occupying, his eyes taking in her form.
“You are troubled, miko.”
Kagome stiffened, she never liked being called that even by her family.
“None of your business, youkai.” She hissed, raising her chin higher, her mannerism matching his haughty tone.
The demon raised a perfect slender brow, but otherwise did not seem discouraged by the rude retort, in fact he now turned fully, not bothering to conceal that he was blatantly scrutinising her.
Kagome grunted and shut her book with a huff. Seeing that ignoring the man was not an option she opted for a different approach.
“Argh what is it, piss Kagome off day! What do you want?”
“You.”
Her breath caught at his audacity, fingers twitching slightly as she fought the urge to slap him. Sure she was used to guys constantly hitting on her and she was friends with Miroku, but they were never quite as bold as the clearly arrogant male that was sitting far too close for her comfort. Remembering to breathe, Kagome collected herself. The young woman was about to give him a piece of her mind when she finally turned and truly saw him. Surely only Kamis could look this delectable? Piercing gold eyes, long glimmering silver hair, sensuous lips and markings that made his whole demeanour rather aristocratic, for sure making her own features pale in comparison.
Losing the ability to think, Kagome unashamedly eyed him up and down, taking in the muscled torso and toned arms that were visible even through the somewhat loose shirt. Kagome gave herself a mental cold shower as she realised that she was now at the point of wondering how it would feel to have his claws trail up and down her skin, remembering that she was still to reply.
“What?” Although not exactly eloquent, this was as much of a reply as the confused miko could muster at this point.
“You are a miko, correct?”
“Yes, but...”
“Then you will do.”
Kagome snorted at the business-like tone, feeling slightly more at ease now. Surely he did not really mean it that way? There could be hundreds of other things he could want her assistance for.
“Gee, you really know how to make a girl feel special.”
“This Sesshomaru will make you feel many pleasant things, once you agree.”
Finally it dawned that this gorgeous specimen in front of her did indeed want to have some sort of relations with her. If at first, she thought it may have been a joke, now it was obvious that he was being quite serious.
“But why?”
The man did not reply straight away, as if not sure whether he should grant her the knowledge. “It is well known that a miko and a youkai are unable to have offspring, due to their natures opposing each other’s entirely. When rutting with an onna that does not possess strong reiki, I am at risk of impregnating the female. You however...” Looking at her blank face he sighed in aggravation and cupped her chin, drawing her whole body closer to his.
Kagome felt her heart skip a beat or two as his breath caressed her face and neck, making his explanations even harder to take in.
“Think of this, little miko, as mutually beneficial arrangement.” She tried to avert her eyes but with a gentle squeeze to her chin the demon made it known that such was not possible. Moving his face closer, Sesshomaru hovered above the smooth skin of her neck, his breath caressing the sensitive flesh as he spoke.
“You will have your every desire fulfilled by this Sesshomaru, gaining much more from this relationship than from any other you had to date, even if it will be purely physical. In return, I ask for your corporation and discreetness. Do you agree?”
Cursing him and his uber toned upper arms, Kagome reprimanded herself for being so weak. She had to pull herself together! This was the worst thing that she could possibly do at the moment. Her reputation was already heading for the gutter with the way Naraku portrayed her to every being that cared to listen and doing something like this would just confirm all the vile things he said. Licking her lips, she spoke up, hating the way her voice shook “I..I don’t think..”
Sesshomaru silenced her in the only way he found to be effective with females, by pressing his lips against hers. Still at first as she fought the sensation, Kagome gradually responded, allowing his tongue entrance.
‘Argh why does he have to taste as good as he looks?’
Pausing for breath, he watched with some satisfaction as she cringed at the lack of contact, wanting his presence so soon after the warmth of his touch left her.
“So what will your positive answer be, miko?”
Kagome licked her lips, savouring his taste. She knew all too well that she was fighting a losing battle, but still did not like the way she was convinced so easily, nor did she find comforting the rush of sensations he elicited within her being.
“I agree.”
He nodded and handed her his card, the sleek and not fussy design being very him. As the male left, Kagome fiddled with the piece of plastic, wondering whether she made a huge mistake just now.
