His thoughts had still remained on his dreams while he washed. Why had he had that dream? It was not his mating season. Could his body really have an attraction to her? Was this the connection or attraction he had felt towards her? Did this human have a sex appeal to him?

As much as he tried to deny it, he couldn’t. That had to be the reason. When they had fought, he had found himself looking her over. And when he found her injured, he hadn’t been able to stop himself from glancing at her partial exposed breasts. Sesshomaru finished up his bath and dressed in his clothing for the day.

He walked past her chambers. It had only been about an hour since the sun had risen. Cracking open the door, he peeked into her room. Sesshomaru looked at the bed, expecting to find the sleeping figure of a woman. But there was no one in it. The covers were still muffled up and unmade. He noticed the one of the porch doors were open.

Sesshomaru walked in to the deck doors. He opened the one to find no one. Had she left? Deciding he would follow her scent, he leapt over the railing to find her. His guess was that she had used the tree to get down.

He continued to follow the scent. She had made it past the palace yard, but was still on palace ground. When the scent started to get stronger, it collided with that of water.

Sesshomaru found her by the river. She was dressed in her fighting clothes. It seemed that she was training. Auko was doing slow kicks and punches. He watched her for awhile as she did flips and other things. No wonder her injures kept getting reopened. This stupid woman was not giving them the chance to heal.Even though she was taking it slow, he could tell it was painful. He left her and headed back to the palace.

*******

The whole day, he didn’t mention seeing her in the forest. It was obvious she hadn’t sensed he was there either. Through the day she rested and played with Rin. He didn’t get a chance to talk to her until that evening. uko uko had gone for a walk, forgetting to mention it to anyone. He had spotted her out of the library window. Sesshomaru had decided to once again follow her. She lead him to the same place as earlier. He watched as she blind folded herself and began to exercise for the second time that day.

Coming out from his place from the behind the tree, Sesshomaru stealthily sneaked up to her. He got close enough for him to touch him. It became apparent that this was close enough for her to sense him and she tried to kick him. He easily dodged it along with her other attacks. Auko began lightly sparring with him, but he used little effort to avoid her.

Finally she threw a punch at him and he caught it. Then she tried to kick him in the head. He leg was almost completely opposite her one when he caught it. That’s when it became apparent that she was flexible. As punishment for her stupid behavior, he tossed her into the river. She screamed as she hit the icy cold water.

When Auko resurfaced, her blindfold was gone. “Bastard! You didn’t have to throw me in the river. Dammit!” she yelled.

Sesshomaru smirked, amused with her displeasure. “You should not be training. Not until you injuries have healed.”

“They are healed. Except for some bruises that remain, my injures are gone.”

“Nonsense, you are still in pain.”

“Well, yeah, because of my broken ribs, but the cuts are all gone. Now it’s just a matter of time before my body heals on the insides.” Auko swam to the bank and tried to pull herself up. Her ribs hurt from the impact with the water.

Sesshomaru grabbed her arm and pulled her to her feat. He noted that her nipples had gone hard from the cold water. She was covered in goose bumps. Auko pulled her arm away from his grip and tried to elbow him, but he caught it.

“Still upset?” he teased. She smirked at him and kicked his legs sending him to the ground. Still holding onto her arm, he pulled her down with him. Auko fell on top of him, but he quickly flipped her onto her back so that he was on top.

Auko looked up into his eyes. There was something different about them, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. Not like she could think anyways; he heart was beating faster than normal and she felt butterflies in her stomach.

Sesshomaru got a good whiff of her scent from the close contact. They were looking each other in the eye. His hands were on either side of her waist and he was in between her legs. He felt his body being pulled down, along with his face. Sesshomaru kept leaning down until their noses touched and paused for a second. Closing his eyes, he continued further, touching his lips to hers.

Her lips pushed against his to return the kiss. Auko’s eyes were wide open, and she didn’t know why she was kissing him back. It had been years since a man had kissed her, but she’d never been kissed by a demon before. Especially one so sexy. It seemed her body was just reacting to his kiss.

Sesshomaru pushed a little harder, parting his lips. When she gave no real response, he forced his tongue between her lips. His eyes were still closed, but he could feel her glare. Sesshomaru focused on the task at hand, not really caring if she didn’t enjoy, because he was. He delved his tongue deeper and her lips parted easily enough. Her teeth weren’t together to block him from his true goal. In fact, her tongue was there, waiting patiently for his bold act.

Auko was too confused in her mind to really comprehend all that was going on. So she just let her reflexes do as they wish. When his warm tongue came in contact with hers, she fought back. Her eyes started to lid over and a very soft, quiet, low moan left her mouth.

Sesshomaru was glad to hear he was pleasuring her. He didn’t care, but it was always funner when they enjoyed and participated in the activity. He lowered his body more to give them more contact. In response, he got a whimper, as if she was in pained. Auko whimpered again, but more demanding and pulled away from his kiss to push on his shoulders. He pulled away, lifting himself with his arms.

“What?” he asked concerned and annoyed.

“Your armor, it was hurting me.” She replied, almost apologetically. Sesshomaru looked down at the metal, then back to her. He sat up and removed it, setting it down next to them with a clink. Leaning back down, he pressed his lips to hers once again. His right hand moved to her waist and traveled down to her hip, only to move back up. She breathed heavily through her nose and he took it as a good response.

He suddenly and almost roughly, pulled away from her mouth. Grabbing the top of her head with his right hand, he turned it so her face went to the right. He then ran his lips across her jawbone to her neck where he harshly kissed her. She took in a sharp, quick breath, but was enjoying the rough manner. Sesshomaru let go of her head and returned it to her waist.

Stopping his assault on the wet, cold skin of her neck he went to her ear. “I had a dream about you last night,” he whispered. “If you want to know what it was about, come to my bed chambers tonight after the moon rises above the tallest tree. Then I will tell you…and finish what I have already started.” Sesshomaru moved his hand up to brush across the outside of her breast. The breath she was holding came out nervously. His voice still held no emotion, not even the lust that he had at the moment.

When he pulled away from her ear, her head moved back so she could see him. He noted that they were hazed over somewhat and her breath was a little harder than normal. Leaving one last peck on her lips, he got off of her and left, picking up his armor and putting it on. Auko lay there, trying to calm herself from the heat rush.

After about 10 minutes, she still laid there, breathing normally again. Auko pushed herself up and stood. Her mind was focused on what he had done to her. The cold wind snipping at her water-drenched body shook her from her dream and she ran back to the castle shivering. When she reached it, she dashed up to the springs to wash the cold away. Auko was thankful he hadn’t seen her.
