Kagome glared in warning at her high school counselor as he grinned at her mischievously. Really, she didn’t know what possessed her mother to befriend such a weird pervert like him in the first place. Sure he was sort of fun to hang around but moments like these just made her want to strangle him.
“Miroku, I told you I don’t want that class!” she hissed, hoping her anger would make him see how serious she was. Not that it had ever worked in the past, for some strange reason he seemed to think her anger was ‘cute’.
“Uncle Miroku.” He corrected in a singsong manner. She never could tell why he insisted on her calling him that. “And why ever not?” he asked, his grin widening making her all the more suspicious. “I thought you liked English, and everyone is always going on about how great Mr. Taisho’s class is. Not to mention that all the girls are always gossiping on what a handsome devil he is. Not that he has anything on my good looks of course but not everyone can be as luck as I am.” He said winking at Kagome, who just rolled her eyes at his nonsense. She was worried about that comment on Sesshomaru’s looks though. The way he said was almost like he was trying to hint at something.
“I still don’t want the class, I’m perfectly content with the way my schedule is now.”
“Kagome,” he whined. “I just want to reunite the lovely couple! I can just imagine it now; the secret heated glances, the after school ‘tutoring’… the midnight study sessions! Ah, what a sight that would be.” he sighed happily, completely oblivious to the horrified look on the eighteen year-olds face.
“He told you! That jerk is so dead!” she spat, curling her hands into fist.
“Kagome, did you really think your mother wouldn’t tell me about her only daughter getting married?” he smiled at her, a bit condescendingly.
“She told you?!” Kagome gasped. Her mother had been the one to drill their need for secrecy into her head!
“Of course! Someone in this school has to make sure no one catches on to you two love birds. We don’t want to get your new hubby fired for getting naughty with a student now do we?”
“Naughty?! What are you talking about nothing like that has even come close to happening and would you stop calling us love birds? It’s not like I wanted to get married to him you know?”
“Ah, yes. Your mother told me about that as well. Only you would be so clumsy as to lose your passport on a school trip, you know that?” he said with a grin. “You’re just lucky that Sesshomaru was clever enough to think of a way out of that without having you being detained.”
“I know,” she sighed. “and I’m really grateful to him for that, but I really wish we could get that damn annulment over and done with already. His lawyer said something about there being a ‘waiting period’ or something like that.” She said looking discomfited.
“And what’s the problem with staying married to him? I seem to recall you having a crush on him not to long ago.” He said putting his arm on the desk in front of him and resting his cheek in his cupped hand.
“I didn’t want to marry him!” Kagome half yelled before realizing that someone might overhear them. “Please don’t put me in that class Miroku. It’s already embarrassing enough as it is.”
“Sorry sweetie, but you getting that class.” His care-free grin taking on a dark quality. “and if you try to get out of it I’ll make sure that you don’t graduate.”
“W-what?” Kagome gaped at him. “You can’t do that!”
“Oh, but I can.” He said pointing to his computer. “You’re forgetting that I have access to all of your records on this little baby.”
“You, you…AH!” she screamed in frustration and stomped out of the office.
“Have a nice day!” he cheerfully after her. ‘Oh, this is going to be so much fun!’ he thought gleefully to himself.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rrrrrrriiiinnngggg!
The school bell rang, signaling the end of class as well as the end of the school day. Kagome fidgeted nervously as she waited for her classmates to leave the room. She could believe she was doing this! The three months she had been forced to be in this class she did everything she could to be invisible. To her relief, he’d played along; completely ignoring her presence in his usual stoic manner.
The only time they really had conversations was when they were trying to get all the necessary paper work ready for the annulment, which for some odd reason was taking forever, or when her mother decided that her husband absolutely had to join them for family dinners (oddly enough, her mother was thrilled by the whole thing. She even went so far as to call them ‘a lovely couple’). They got along well enough, she supposed. He seemed bored or irritated with her attempts at conversations, so that was something at least. Still it had come to a sort of unspoken agreement that they would never speak in school…
“Was there something you needed Higurashi?” Sesshomaru’s deep baritone voice cut in, startling her. She looked up to see cool golden eyes examining her curiously.
“O-oh, yes!” she declared, nervously glancing around to make sure they were alone. Once she had confirmed that no one was in sight she began to speak. “I was erm, wondering…” she hesitated.
“Yes?” he intoned, the sudden interest evident in his eyes.
“I was wondering whether or not you had heard back from your lawyer yet?” Kagome muttered, fidgeting under his intense gaze. Was it just her…or had that been disappointment in his eyes?
“Kagome…”he started off surprising her; he never used her first name! “We can talk about it at my apartment tonight. This isn’t a safe place to have this conversation.” He finished, though that was obviously not what he had planned on saying in the first place.
“Oh, sure.” She chirped nervously. “What time should I be there?”
“Six, do not be late.” He said turning away and returning to his desk.
“Y-yes sir, see you then.” She smiled and walked out the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome anxiously checked the time on her watch as she stood before Sesshomaru’s door. 5:58, well at least she wasn’t late…why on earth was she so nervous? She’d been over to his place plenty of times before to work on the necessary paper work they needed. So, what was so different now?
Taking a steadying breath, Kagome smoothed out blue sundress before knocking on the door. A moment later Sesshomaru opened the door, his eyes widening a bit as they settled on her small form. Kagome shifted on her feet restlessly. Did he not like what she was wearing? She hadn’t really had a choice though; her mother had all but threatened to disown her unless she put it on before she left.
“Please come in.” he said after clearing his throat. Was it her or did his voice sound a bit deeper than it usually did? For some reason the thought had her heart skip a few beats. She flushed slightly and quietly made her way to his couch, conscious of the golden eyes that seemed fixated on her.
She noticed that the usually clean coffee table was littered with official looking documents. If she wasn’t mistaken then they were the many different forms they had been dealing with these past months. She ignored that way her heart sped up as he took his seat next to her on the white couch. Stop being silly, Kagome! She berated herself internally. This is no different than any other time you’ve been here.
“The final forms have arrived this morning.” Sesshomaru stated, staring impassively at the documents in front of them.
“That’s good news.” Kagome hedged, knowing he had more to say.
“Kagome, I…” he hesitated uncharacteristically as he locked his gaze on hers. He stared at her for a moment, seemingly searching for something in her eyes.
“Yes?” Kagome asked, when he did not continue.
“Would you do me a favor?” he replied after a long moment. The usual air of confidence about him seemed suddenly replaced with uncertainty and reluctance.
“Of course!” she replied immediately, making him smile just a bit.
“Close your eyes.”
“W-what for?” she asked.
“I am going to kiss you.” He said making her blush. ‘kiss me?!’ she thought shrilly, though her body paid no heed to her frenzied mind, and immediately did as he asked. She felt the couch shift as he turned to face her. Her breath hitched in her throat as she suddenly felt his warm breath against her lips. He seemed to hesitate before finally dipping his head and connecting his lips with hers, instantly shutting down her chaotic thoughts.
Kagome sighed and sank into the kiss as his warm lips gently moved against hers. His large hand cupped her cheek as he gradually began to move with more confidence. She felt his tongue glide across her bottom lip; silently asking her permission to enter. Debating with herself for only a moment, Kagome opened her mouth for him.
She gave a breathy moan of pleasure as languidly swept over her sensitive upper palate. Nervously, Kagome began to move her tongue against his own. Eager to taste him, yet nervous that her inexperience might dissuade him from continuing, it seemed her worries were unfounded though, if Sesshomaru’s own groans were anything to go by. The kiss lasted a few long blissful moments before Sesshomaru slowly pulled away from her.
She blushed prettily once she opened her eyes and caught Sesshomaru smiling affectionately.
“W-what was that about?” she asked, near whispering. She was almost afraid to hear the answer. Sesshomaru sighed and rolled his eyes at her, making her frown at him.
“As intelligent as you claim to be, you are really are quite dense.”
“Did you just call me stupid?” she said narrowing her eyes at him.
“Kagome,” he said taking her hand and enveloping it with his much larger ones. She’d never noticed how warm they were before. “You are one of the sweetest, most intelligent and caring young lady I have ever met.” He announced making her blush crimson. “These past few months getting to know you have been some of the happiest in my life. It is my hope that will agree to forget about the annulment and remain my wife.” He concluded, his eyes burning with sincerity and adoration.
“Sesshomaru, I-I don’t know what to say.” Kagome said hesitantly. Her heart swelled with emotions she didn’t recognize.
“Then don’t say anything.” He said softly, raising a hand to tenderly caress her check. “Let me convince you to stay with me.” His voice quieting down to a soft sigh as he leaned in once more to capture her lips, he would worship her tonight, show her in the most physical sense so that there was no mistaking how much she meant to him. He smirked victoriously as she sank right into the kiss, the previous hesitation she showed earlier almost completely gone.
He showered her with slow butterfly kisses, careful to give each and every beautiful feature on her face attention. He kissed the corner of her mouth before angling his head to taste the supple skin above her pulse, making her pant with want when he grazed his teeth gently over the sensitive area. Sesshomaru could not contain himself any longer as she began to reciprocate his light feathery touches. Taking her by surprise he lifted bridal style and carried her to his bedroom.
Depositing her on the bed gently, he leaned his body over hers to taste her sensitive pulse once again. Sesshomaru was all too aware of how she immediately tensed up. Cursing himself for being too eager with her, Sesshomaru set out to put her mind at ease.
“Shh, little one.” He said smoothing down her hair with a reassuring smile. “I’ll stop right here, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
“N-no!” she yelped, grabbing onto his arm with surprising force. Crimson blossomed on her cheeks when she caught his baffled yet amused expression. “I-I don’t want you to stop; it’s just that…it’s my first time.” She admitted shyly. To her surprise Sesshomaru grinned and nuzzled her neck tenderly.
“Yes, my sweet, I know.” he chuckled low in her ear before nipping her ear and tracing the outer shell with his tongue, relishing the fact that she was now shivering with pleasure. “I promise to be gentle, but I need you to swear that you will tell me to stop if you need me to.” He commanded seriously. Her only answer was a smile and a nod.
With that he kissed her again, slowly and sweetly. Enjoying the way she moaned when he sucked her bottom lip into his mouth and softly bit down on it. The sweet taste of her was driving him insane; he couldn’t wait to taste what other delicacies her body had to offer him. With that thought in mind he slowly made his way down to her ample breast. He sucked at them through the material of her dress, giving a few groans of his own when she tangled her hands in his hair.
It wasn’t enough though; he wanted to taste her luscious skin. He lifted himself off of her just enough to raise the dress up and over her head, leaving her clad in only her white cotton panties. Gods, she was so beautiful.
“None of that” he said grabbing her hands when she had moved to cover herself. Keeping her hands by her sides, Sesshomaru leaned over to suck one of those gorgeous caramel-colored nipples into his mouth. Delicious.
He swirled his tongue over the nipple, making her suddenly arch into his mouth. So she liked that did she? Well he was the husband wasn’t he? It was his job to provide for her in any way possible, and that included pleasure did it not? Releasing her arms, Sesshomaru began to knead her soft fleshy lumps. Her quick quiet pants spurred him on like nothing else. He needed to hear more, needed to see her squirm in pleasure.
Tracing the outline of her panties with a single hand, Sesshomaru slowly curled his fingers under the material and pulled them off of her soft quivering body and settled himself between her open legs. He trailed small butterfly kisses down her body, occasionally using his tongue, as he made his way down to her womanhood.
Finally reaching his prize, Sesshomaru looked up to see Kagome staring down at him with a mixture of surprise and anticipation. Smirking at her Sesshomaru once more leaned down a flicked his tongue in between her moist folds. His hands sprawled across her stomach, holding her down as she tried to buck into his touch. His strokes grew faster and bolder as she cried and mewled in rapture. Taking her pearl into his mouth, Sesshomaru sucked hard, forcing her over the precipice as she screamed out his name.
Licking his lips clean, Sesshomaru worked his way back up her body; admiring the way her body continued to convulse from the pleasure he wrought her. He positioned his shaft over her entrance before speaking to her. “This will hurt,” he said, his voice hoarse from desire. “But only for a short time, alright little one?”
“Yes, please hurry. I need you.” She said, surprising him by pulling him in for a passionate kiss. Using that as a distraction Sesshomaru plunged into her entrance, ripping his way past her maidenhood. He was surprised that she didn’t cry out, instead she held on even tighter to him, her breath ragged as silent tears streamed down from her face. He murmured his heart-felt apologies to her and wiped away her tears with his thumb. After a few moments he felt Kagome tentatively ground her hips against his. He hissed as pleasure shot through his body but kept a tight rein on his lust and forced himself to wait for Kagome’s say so.
Her cobalt eyes still shone from the tears but the haziness of desire was slowly making its way back into her gaze. She shifted her hips again and gave a breathy sigh as her eyes rolled back a little ways. Taking that as permission Sesshomaru began to move rhythmically inside of her. Sesshomaru moaned in contentment as he felt her long legs wrap around his waist, her hands snaked their away to his back. Her nails raked across the skin encouraging him to increase the pace. He watched with hungry eyes as she bit down on her plump lip to keep from crying out.
Intent on making her cry aloud Sesshomaru began to pump faster into her. Her velvety walls tightened around his hard shaft, telling him that she was close. Sliding a hand down to her little bundle of nerves, Sesshomaru began to pinch and roll the tiny bead between his fingers, finally earning those melodious moans and screams from her. Sesshomaru pumped into her convulsing walls once…twice…three times before spilling his seed into her eager womb.
He rolled onto his back, taking her with him so that she was lying on his chest, as he refused to be parted from her just yet. Sighing quietly in contentment Sesshomaru began to trace imaginary patterns in the small of her back. He chuckled happily when she nuzzled his neck tiredly and promptly fell asleep. As contented as he was to watch her all through the night, the fatigue just became too much and he to succumbed to the dream world.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome awoke to the sound of a ringing cell phone. Looking over realizing that Sesshomaru still slept, she blearily moved to answer it, ignoring the stiff soreness in her body.
“Hello?” she said, her voice still husky from sleep.
“….Kagome?!” Miroku’s voice came, suddenly jolting her awake. “I knew it!” he shouted joyfully. “I knew he would make a move on you soon! Tell me, how did he do it? Did he propose a romantic midnight tryst? Did he ask sweetly like a gentleman? Did- ow! Your mother wants to talk to you.” He said bitterly.
“My mom?!” Kagome squeaked, waking Sesshomaru. He looked at her in askance but she refused to answer.
“I swear, he’s worse than a woman sometimes.” Her mother said good- naturedly.
“H-he he, hi mom.” She muttered nervously as she blushed. Sesshomaru’s golden eyes narrowed a bit as his cheeks began to rose as well.
“No need to sound so worried Kagome dear, Sesshomaru explained full well yesterday that he had planned on doing whatever was necessary to keep you. I just wanted to see what your answer was. I so want to keep him in our family.” Her mother rambled, ignoring her daughter’s mortified silence. “Have you told him your answer yet?”
“Ah, no. I haven’t had a chance to yet.” She said looking into Sesshomaru’s tender amber gaze. Her heart skipped a beat when he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, whispering a quiet apology for not telling her sooner.
“Well, what’s your answer going to be? You know it’s not polite to keep the poor man waiting. He really does love you Kagome.”
“Y-you love me?” Kagome inquired softly.
“I do” he admitted rather shyly. “Will you stay with me Kagome? Will you be my wife?” he said taking her hand.
“Yes,” she sniffled. “Yes, I’ll be your wife!” she giggled as her mother screamed in delight. Sesshomaru grinned and pulled her in for a tight embrace, happy that his tiny love had decided to stay with him.
“You realize of course, that we have to redo the wedding?” he heard Mrs. Higurashi say.
“I would not have it any other way.” He said planting a kiss on his wife’s smiling face.
