The Power of Seven

Chapter Fifteen


**** Day Thirteen ****


"Do you deny it Hiei?" Mukuro kept her arms folded behind her back but stopped to look at the hybrid. She wanted to hear his answer, would he lie to her? The man was changing, she could see it everyday. She knew it had to do something with the miko. He'd been mated to the girl for two weeks now. Each morning she saw him to do their rounds and he looked more at peace. A strange light would enter his eyes everytime her name was mentioned. She just asked if he had slept with her yet.

"I deny nothing and it is none of your business who I fuck. My relationship with Kagome is offlimits understand?" Hiei would be damned if he let Mukuro discuss it. What he did with the girl was his concern, no one else's. She belonged to him now, Mukuro didn't have to like it. He wouldn't deny that the girl was having an effect on him, it was to be expected. Taking a mate always changed a person, things were bound to be different. Mukuro would have to accept that Kagome was his top priority now.

"So you have slept with her, I thought as much. That is a scent one can't wash away. Tell me Hiei are you in love with the girl?" She smiled, goading him into answering the question. She knew he believed himself incapable of the emotion. She'd see for herself just how much of a hold the girl had on him.

"Don't be a fool. I don't believe in that stupid human emotion. I will do the honorable thing and treat her as my mate. Don't for one minute think I'll consider myself to be in love with a human. My actions are still my own, no one, not even Kagome will dictate them." Hiei wanted to make sure Mukuro understood that meant her also. He had always done what he pleased and would continue to do so. Kagome being there wouldn't interfere with what he wanted even if he did happen to care for the girl.

"Really, good then I won't feel guilty for wanting to do this." Mukuro leaned over towards him, seeing how far he would allow her to move in. She'd see exactly how much his being mated to Kagome directed his actions. His eyes widened but he didn't move out of her way. Mukuro wondered if he realized that the girl was standing at the end of the hall watching every move they made. Unless he used his senses, his back was turned to her.

"Hn." Hiei grunted but stood his ground. Who did she think she was testing him like this? He knew she was expecting him to pull away before she could land the kiss. That way she could throw it back in his face that Kagome did control what he did. To prove her wrong his hand came up to grab the back of her neck. Several gasps were heard, his lips crushed against hers. They were hard and coarse but gave way as he forced his tongue between them. No woman told him what to do, or would control his actions.

She knew that he had no idea that the girl was watching, not yet. Seeing how far she could take it, she placed a hand on his back. He stiffened under the touch but didn't pull away. She began to return the kiss letting her hand drop to his waist, then to his round backside. He growled loud enough for it to echo through the hall. To most it sounded like a passionate one but she knew better. She knew Hiei and he was letting her know she'd just over stepped her boundaries. She yanked back from him and smiled, "Oops, seems we have an audience."

Hiei turned to see who'd happened upon them. He felt the sudden pain to his chest, then waves of hurt washed over him. Kagome took off only to be followed by Sango. "Dammit, you knew she was there." Hiei felt like a fool, he should have known Mukuro was goading him for a reason.

"Whats the matter, she doesn't control your actions. You just said so yourself, you do as you please." She smiled and turned to walk away. Let him think about it, he'd see that he was full of shit. He cared for her more than he was willing to admit. Kagome would probably be pissed at him now, she couldn't help that. She hadn't expect Hiei to actually kiss her, he should have moved away. Instead of listening to his heart he'd let his pride win.


Kagome felt Sango's hand land on her shoulder, "I'm okay." She took a deep breath, calming the raging emotions. She had no right to be upset. She couldn't change the fact that seeing the display had hurt her but she had no right to be angry at him. Even if he'd slept with her, he'd never promised her anything. Not once had he declared to love or even care about her. He'd never promised to be faithful or say that she was the only woman for him. She'd suspected that something was going on between them before she'd given herself to him. Did she really think he'd get rid of the other woman for her? Inuyasha hadn't done it and he was suppose to have held some love for her. She wasn't even sure if Hiei liked her as a person. He might like her well enough to have sex but that meant nothing.

"Are you sure?" Sango was sure that she was upset over seeing that. Kagome had slept with the man, so there had to be some feelings there atleast on her part. She was sure Hiei was just like Shura and bedding different women didn't bother him. It was only natural to experience a variety of flesh. What was done was done, Kagome couldn't take back her virginity and Hiei wouldn't stop seeing the other woman if something was there. Both had seen it had been him to instigate the kiss. He could have pulled away from the other woman but didn't.

"Yes, I'm okay just shocked that's all. It's not the first time that I've seen them together. I guess I'm just stupid for thinking that he actually gave a damn. He never promised me anything Sango, I guess I was just hoping for something more." Kagome didn't want to get her friend down. Sango was having enough stress to deal with, without adding her emotional baggage to boot. She would just have to accept that Hiei might consider her a mate but he didn't love her. That made all the difference in the world.

"Okay, lets get going. Sano is waiting on you in the room and I'm sure Shura is waiting for me by now." It was going to be another long day of training it seemed. That was fine with her, she enjoyed the workout. It helped take her mind off things, things like Shura. He seemed so different yesterday it left her confused. Instead of snapping like he was prone to do he helped her where he saw a problem. They only argued one time in the ten hours of training, she had started it. The word pathetic and human hadn't been used in a sentence together. That had surprised her greatly since he seemed so fond of the two words.

"I guess I need to grow up. I shouldn't expect so much out of other people." Kagome stopped in front of the door feeling Sano already inside. "He's waiting on me, I'll see you later tonight." She gave Sango a quick hug before going into the room. Sano turned around when she walked in.

"Why were you upset earlier?" Sano asked her, he'd felt her pain. It came across as a dull ache for him but he'd felt it. She'd left to go find Hiei, so where was the little guy? Or was he the reason she was upset? Her eyes were puffy so she'd been crying also. "Wanna tell me about it or do I have to go hunt Hiei down and ask him?"


Shizuru wondered where Kurama had run off to again. She was left with Kenji once more this morning. The boy was talking happily about what they were going to learn. She barely listened to the happy banter, her mind elsewhere. He was hiding something from them but she wasn't sure what. She could feel it, a dirty little secret that he was keeping to himself. Was he doing something he wasn't suppose to or someone?

She'd caught him talking to Genkai yesterday also. They seemed intent in whatever discussion they were having. The two were up to something, she wanted to know what. Unlike Yusuke she wouldn't get jealous over it. Anyone could see the green eyed monster rearing it's ugly head from the boy. She knew that Genkai wouldn't be interested in Kurama not in that sense anyways. Now as far as Kurama, she couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't sleep around on her but if he did, it wouldn't be with Genkai.

Kenji looked up at the woman seeing she wasn't paying attention. He knew where her mind was, on Kurama. It saddened him to know that the girl had given herself to the other man. He shouldn't be surprised, they'd known each other for a long time. She'd only known him for two weeks. Just because he liked her didn't mean she had to feel the same way. It just made him wonder what the man's intentions were towards her.

He wished he knew more about this mating thing. From his view it was almost like marriage but then why had he seen Kurama flirting with that other woman? He'd never experienced the act himself but knew what lust was. It had been in that woman's eyes, she wanted the man as well. Only a dead man could have slept through the noise those two had made the other night. He'd woken up but refrained from making it known. From embarrassment and knowing that the pair wouldn't take kindly to the interruption.

He blushed thinking back on it, he'd hadn't known what to do. His parents had never formed the act while he was in the same room. Somehow he doubted hearing his parents would have had the same effect that hearing those two had caused. He could feel their pleasure through the bond formed, plus the sound of Shizuru's voice moaning in her passion had enticed his own. Shame filled him, he shouldn't have enjoyed listening to her being taken by another man.

He knew it and had scolded himself but his erection hadn't gone down. When Kurama had suddenly left the room, he felt like going up there and picking up where the man had left off. His mother hadn't raised him to think such thought but they came forbidden in his mind. He desired Shizuru, he also was starting to have feelings for her. But what could he do if she was in love with Kurama?


**** Day Fourteen ****


**** Lemon Warning ****


Sango took off the heavy shirt leaving on the tanktop provided for her. It meant showing her arms but it was hot in the room. Shura went to go cut down the heat for her. Another day of hard training for her but it was productive. He was actually taking it easy on her for some reason. If she didn't know any better he seemed to have alot on his mind. Every once in a while she saw him gazing towards the door, as if he was expecting something.

Shura sat down on the floor next to where she was standing. He wondered if she'd heard the news yet. He didn't think so because she didn't appear nervous at all. "Why don't you sit down and relax for a few minutes." He watched her sit down in front of him giving him a good view of her face. He couldn't help compare the two woman. Kichi could be considered more beautiful but Sango was very pretty in her own way. While Kichi had a very filled out form, Sango's was filled out but very lean.

"My father told me this morning that he is expecting his friend to be here either today or tomorrow. Which means this might be the last day you train with me." He waited for her reaction, he wasn't expecting a frown. Maybe she had enjoyed the last three days as well. Most of it had been training but he still enjoyed her company. She was very pleasant when she didn't have a reason to bitch at him. He knew before she'd had every right to do so. He'd been harsh and had been taking out his problems on her. While she had done nothing but leave her home to help those she didn't know. He hadn't stopped to see that she also was being forced to mate with someone she didn't know.

"I see, so you think he'll take over my training?" Sango had just gotten use to him being her teacher. How would she deal with someone new? Would this new guy be just as easy to learn from? She frowned harder, she'd have to do the whole bonding thing all over again. Not to mention being biten again was going to be a real bitch.

"He'll have to, you'll have to learn to mix your energy with his. After you two bond father will want you two to start working on that. There'll be no getting around it I'm afraid." He suddenly wished he'd done things different, he didn't want someone else training her. Nor did he want this friend of his father's marking her. He was almost sure that he could still feel the pull of his former bond but that couldn't be. It had been severed when she'd died. "I'm sure he will treat you good."

"I suppose, not like there's anything I could do about it now. Guess we should get back to training while we can. Make the most of the rest of our time together." She tried to smile not wanting him to see that she was disappointed. He wouldn't understand why she was nor would he care. He was doing this because he felt he owed her not because he wanted to. Let him feel like he did his duty towards her.

Shura saw it, she was disappointed as much as he. He grabbed her face as he leaned forward to capture her mouth. She tried to jerk away at first, he could sense her fear. He softened up the pressure, letting his mouth barely brush hers. She opened her mouth for him allowing his tongue access. Joy and excitement filled him at her acceptance.

Sango couldn't make herself push him away as he explored her mouth. The kiss was stirring those feelings once more in the pit of her stomach. Every nerve in her body came to life as her brain screamed that she should make him stop. Before she could protest he had her on her back as he propped himself over her. He continued to take her mouth in a seering kiss that left her melting.

A whimper escaped when his hand captured her right breast, squeezing it gently. It sent a jolt of pleasure directly between her legs, an odd ache was forming. Between his mouth and his thumb raking across the hardened peak she was soon becoming lost in the feelings he was invoking.

Shura placed a hand under the skimpy shirt needing to feel flesh under his palm. Her back came off the floor as he found the taunt nipple. Her mouth broke from his giving him free reign to move. The shirt was pulled off as she opened her eyes to gaze at him. He could see the lust shining in them to match his own. He brought his mouth down to latch onto the other nipple, sucking hard enough to make her moan.

The scent of her arousal hit his nose, she wanted him. That was all he needed to know, his father and everyone else could go to hell. Her hand fisted in his hair holding him to her chest. As his mouth worked he placed both hands between them going to work on removing the pants she wore.

Sango felt his hands working at the rest of her clothing. His hands yanked the shoes she was wearing off without any regard. He had to release her breasts to lean up. Her hips lifted off the floor so he could pull the rest of her clothes off. Her eyes closed when he got up leaving her completely naked on the floor. She heard him walking to the door, then him hitting the buttons. Was he leaving her? Had she done something wrong?

Shura pushed the last number in making sure the door would remained locked until they were ready to leave. He saw her shoulders drop in disappointment, he wondered why? Did she think he was going to leave? He wasn't going to leave this room until he made sure she had something to think about whenever she was with her new mate. He knew there was no way for him to undo what was done. He couldn't take her back and she had to be bonded with a youkai. It meant she was lost to him.

He started removing his clothes as he walked back to her. She almost jumped when he pulled his shoes off to toss them to the floor. Before he was standing in front of her again he was completely disrobed. Her eyes opened when she felt him standing there. He smiled when her face turned red when she spotted the effect that she had on him.

Sango suddenly started having second thoughts. What the hell was she thinking? She was about to let him take her virginity after everything he'd done to her. He used his hands to pry her legs apart, working his way between them. Would he stop if she asked him to or should she fight her way out the door?

He could tell she was having second thoughts, he wouldn't allow her to leave. If he was going to have to accept some other man taking her tomorrow then he wanted one time with her. He captured her mouth as she tried to speak, he ignored her pleas. His tongue pushed inside her mouth, probing. Once she returned the kiss he let his hand roam between them.

Sango felt his fingers searching, sliding across her center. The digits found her wet folds, parting them. She moaned as he slid a finger inside her entrance. The intrusion was forcing her walls to stretch as he pumped the finger. She placed her hands around on his shoulders, squeezing as an unknown tension began to build. She hissed in pain as he inserted another finger, pushing inside to join the other.

Shura moaned feeling her walls clamping down, squeezing his fingers. She was so tight as he stretched her, he couldn't wait to feel her wrapped around him. She moaned in disappointment when he withdrew them. He brought his mouth to capture hers, placing himself at her opening.

Sango dug her nails into his shoulders as he began to push forward. There was a burning sensation as he entered her, her breath caught at the pain. He was stretching her more than she thought possible. She willed herself not to cry from it. He was gasping in her neck, never stopping.

Shura had to stop once he was fully embedded inside her tight passage. If he moved he was going to lose control before he even began. He couldn't describe how good it felt, she was hugging his member to the point it was painful. At the same time it was better than anything he'd ever felt. She moved underneath him, he pulled out leaving only the tip in. He moaned along with her as he pushed back in.

Sango couldn't deny that the friction was slowly overriding the slight pain. Pleasure began to ride her as he began moving within her. She lifted her hips meeting his thrusts halfway. The tension was building fast as he rode her. She felt him thrust hard then he began to pulse inside her.

Shura couldn't stop the orgasm from coming. Having her move underneath him plus the feel of her caused him to break. He brought his mouth to her neck, running his tongue over where his mark use to be. Fangs scraped across the tender flesh leaving a red welt in their wake. He longed to sink his teeth into her, he sucked on the spot instead. She moaned when he started to move again. He felt himself growing hard again as he moved.

Sango was sure she felt him growing inside her, filling to stretch her once more. He grabbed her around the back and pulled her up off the floor. She found herself sitting in his lap with him still inside. He started in a kneeling position to end up sitting on his feet. On instinct she wrapped her legs around his waist pulling herself closer to him. He began rocking forward, pushing higher into her body.

He had a hand placed on her waist, the other on her neck. He claimed her mouth, his tongue mocking the motion of him filling her. Sango felt the tension inside her reach it's peak and starting moving against him. She screamed in his mouth as it snapped sending waves of pleasure cursing through her.

Shura felt the muscles clamp down on him as she found her release. His speed picked up leaving him to slam into her. Instead of crying out in pain from the forceful entry she wrapped her legs around him tighter. Her moans of pleasure caused his excitement to reach new highs. He didn't say anything content to hear her voice for now. It hadn't been long since he'd found release but he felt it building again. He tried to slow down, not wanting to finish just yet.

Sango felt him slow down and began to move more. What he'd been doing felt so good, she wanted more of it. "Don't stop!" She couldn't believe that was her voice, begging him to continue. Her name sprang from his lips as he picked up his speed again to give her what she wanted. "Ohhhhh, yes, don't stop." She felt it happening, the tension was ripping through her lower section making the muscles quiver in pleasure.

Shura felt her release again, pulling at him. His moan echoed hers as he started to cum, pouring his seed inside her body. His thrusts stroked her as she came down from her peak. His hand tangled in her long hair, letting the strands caress his fingers. He cupped her neck bringing her mouth to his.

Sango returned the chaste kiss, feeling him twitch inside. She tried to imagine what Kagome had told her of the actual act but never thought it would feel this good. Would he get up and leave her now that is was done? It saddened her to know that this would change nothing. Tomorrow her new mate would arrive and he had one. Not like it mattered, she doubted that he'd want anything to come of this anyways.

"SHURA!" A stern voice was heard from the otherside of the door. Sango recognized the voice as Yomi's, he didn't sound too happy. She climbed off him when Shura swore under his breath. Her hands went to her clothes, hastily putting them on as he took his time about seeing to his.

Once they were both dressed Shura went to the door, "Yes father." Shura looked up at his father knowing the man had heard them. He could hear someone sneeze a mile away, he had to hear them.

"You will come with me now." Yomi turned on his heels, his son would follow. There they'd have a nice long talk. Sango's new mate would be here tomorrow. He wouldn't have his son interfering with anything. He should have known better than to fuck the girl. He was willing to risk everything for a mere moments lust.


Yomi waited until they were down the hall and out of ear shot of the girl. "Do you mind telling me what the hell you think you are doing? I thought I told you to stay away from the girl. I'm very disappointed in you Shura." Someone like Sango would take rutting very serious, it might interfere with what needed to be done. "He will be here in the morning, the girl will become his mate."

"What if I don't care? Do you think I'm going to allow you to toss her to one of your friends? She was mine first," He balled his fists, feeling his anger rise. It wasn't fair, he didn't want this to happen. He never would have opened his mouth if he'd known she'd be stupid enough to actually offer up her life. Now because of his stupidity and her pride she was to be handed over to another man.

"You had your chance. Tomorrow when he gets here you will step aside regardless of what happened in that room. I can warn you now he is a very possessive person. Once he claims her there'll be no way he'll allow you to bed her. He is very fond of humans and I'm sure he'll make her his mate in everyway. Sango is strong for a human, very pretty and he will no doubt see all those things. You will not cause any trouble for them or you will answer to me."
