Murderous Intentions

Chapter 1: Sinful Secrets Revealed
A/N: Sesshomaru and Jennica’s intimate relationship is discovered by Sesshomaru’s father. Will their secret be revealed to everyone? Sorry it took so long for this update, but I hope that you like it. I still do not own Inuyasha so you can’t sue! Read and review, thanks!

Sesshomaru quickly pulled a giggling Jennica behind him towards his chambers. They had been sparring in the dojo when their training had turned into playful wrestling. That in turn led to lustful caresses and suggestive brushes of their bodies. The young prince pulled Jennica into his chambers and then flung her in front of him. Jennica yelped softly when Sesshomaru pushed her forcefully onto the bed.

She rolled quickly onto her back and watched as Sesshomaru hungrily ripped off his white pristine robes. Her grayish amber eyes flickered with lust and excitement as Sesshomaru’s pale muscular body was revealed to her. He lunged forward quickly and grasped her crisp ice blue silk kimono tightly. Jennica gasped when his long thick fingers expertly unfastened the white silk obi holding her kimono closed.

Her creamy white flesh was exposed to his smoldering pools of amber immediately. Sesshomaru’s gaze was so intense that it made Jennica shiver involuntarily. She felt the warmth radiating from Sesshomaru’s chiseled body as he lay over her. Their lips met quickly in a searing kiss as their hands roamed hungrily across each other’s bare flesh.

Jennica raised her hips eagerly as Sesshomaru moved to enter her. She could feel Sesshomaru’s length stretching her vaginal walls to their limits as he filled her with his incredible thickness. Jennica’s slender arms slipped around Sesshomaru’s waist to travel up the silky smooth flesh of his back to rest on his broad shoulders. Sesshomaru began moving inside her tiny body grunting lowly against her ear as her tight passage squeezed him.

Their rhythm increased rapidly as their moans and grunts carried throughout the room. Unknown to the lovers their secret was on the brink of being exposed as Sesshomaru’s father strode down the hall towards his eldest son’s chambers, his heavy footsteps echoing off the stone walls of the palace thunderously. Lord Inutaisho did not bother to knock when he reached his eldest son’s chamber door. Instead he flung it open abruptly and marched into the room.

The two jumped apart at the sound of the chamber door being forced open unexpectedly. Jennica’s grayish amber eyes grew wide when they fell upon the broad towering figure of Lord Inutaisho. Sesshomaru noticed the color had steadily drained from Jennica’s face. He turned his head towards the doorway to see the frowning face of his father. “Sesshomaru, get decent and escort Princess Jennica back to her father’s estate.”

“Yes of course father.”

“And then I shall aitiaiting for you in the study when you return.”

“Yes father, I will return shortly.”

“See that you do, you know that I am not a very patient man Sesshomaru. Goodbye Jennica.”

“Goodbye Lord Inutaisho.” The door closed signaling the lord’s exit. Jennica grabbed Sesshomaru’s chin and forced him to look at her. He could see the unshed tears glistening in her grayish amber eyes.

“Jennica?”

“Sesshomaru what are we going to do? What if your father tells my father about us?”
don don’t think he will say anything to your father Jennica, my father isn’t one to gossip.”

“But if he does we will be forced into an arranged marriage! Is that what you want?”

“No and I won’t allow myself to be forced into anything! Just relax and everything will be fine!”

“I can’t Sesshomaru! My whole future is on the line here! I could be facing an eternity as your life mate!” Sesshomaru grabbed Jennica’s shoulders and shook her violently making her fall silent immediately.

“Just relax Jennica! That will not happen, have faith in me! Do you trust that I will take care of everything?”

“Yes, you’re one of my best friends, but I’m not ready to become anyone’s mate yet Sesshomaru. Please you have to know that!”

“I know that Jennica, just leave everything to me okay?” She nodded and quickly slipped back into her ice blue kimono that had been carelessly discarded on the floor earlier.

Sesshomaru quickly pulled his crisp white robes back on and took Jennica by the hand. He led her out to the palace’s royal stables where his two headed dragon Ah-Uhn was kept. Jennica allowed Sesshomaru to lift her into the large black leather saddle on the dragon demon. He then climbed into the saddle behind her and slipped his strong arms around her to take the reigns. Sesshomaru guided Ah-Uhn out of the large stable and into the evening sky.

They headed in the direction of Jennica’s palace in the Northern lands. Jennica was the daughter of Lord Iaella and Lady Akina of the Northern territory. Lord Iaella and Lord Inutaisho had been life long friends so it was only natural that their two eldest children became best friends as well. Iaella had been one of the only people that had firmly stby Iby Inutaisho when he had taken a human woman as his new mate after Sesshomaru’s mother had died.

Lord Iaella was a large inu youkai with long ink black hair and coal black eyes with flecks of amber in them. His face was handsomely decorated with two thin amber stripes on either cheek and a gorgeous amber starburst marking on his forehead. Lady Akina, his mate, was a petite female inu youkai with the same fiery copper colored hair as Jennica’s and warm amber eyes to compliment it nicely. She had a flawlessly beautiful face with violet stripes on either cheek and a matching violet starburst marking on her forehead.

Iaella and Akina were kind but could also be very strict and old fashioned in tradition when it came to their children. Jennica was their eldest and they had two more children after her. Their second child and the heir to their kingdom was Jennica’s younger brother Kyushu, and their last child was Jennica’s younger sister Yuna. Jennica tensed when her father’s large gray stone palace came into view. “Walk inside with me Sesshomaru?”

He nodded his head silently unable to refuse her pleading tone of voice. Sesshomaru landed Ah-Uhn in the courtyard and dismounted the beast first so he could Jen Jennica climb down. Jennica led Sesshomaru into the vast estate quickly. She stopped him in the foyer carefully looking around to see if anyone was watching. Placing her slender aarouaround his neck to make it look as if she were just giving him an innocent hug she whispered softly in his ear. “Come to my chamber terrace later tonight. The terrace doors will be left unlocked so we can finish what we started earlier in your chambers.” Sesshomaru nodded again and squeezed her tightly. Then the two quickly pulled apart before anyone suspected their behavior to be anything but innocent.

Moments later Jennica’s personal servant, Masako came scurrying into the foyer. She was a short and rather chubby rabbit youkai with warm brown eyes and silvery hair that nearly concealed her long floppy white rabbit ears. “Oh milady you’re home!” The elderly rabbit youkai had been taking care of Jennica since before the young princess could even walk on her own so she had a very motherly affection towards her.

“Yes, hello Masako.”

“Good evening Prince Sesshomaru, won’t you join us for dinner?”

“Oh no I’m afraid my father is expecting me back at the palace shortly.”

“I’ll walk you out Sess.” Sesshomaru nodded as Jennica slipped her slender arm through his much more chiseled one to lead him towards the door. “Masako?”

“Yes milady?”

“Go tell the stable hand to have Prince Sesshomaru’s beast Ah-Uhn ready for ”
”

“Yes of course milady!” Masakoed aed and then immediately scurried off to do her princess’s bidding but not before stealing one last glance at the young couple. Her brown eyes widened as Sesshomaru suddenly pulled Jennica into an embrace. He leaned down and whispered into her ear huskily.

“I shall return later tonight to finish what I started Jennica. Be ready for me?”

“How?”

“Wear nothing to bed tonight.”

“As you wish Sesshomaru.” He grinned and placed an innocent kiss on her forehead. Jennica smiled as she watched the handsome demon prince stride confidently out of the palace. Masako hurried out to the stable and informed the stable hand to saddle up Sesshomaru’s two headed dragon Ah-Uhn.

The young stable hand, a fox kitsune quickly scurried about fastening the straps of the black leather saddle onto the large green reptilian beast. Sesshomaru stood in the doorway of the stable and cleared his throat to draw attention to himself. The kitsune stable hand jumped nervously as he finished fastening the last of the straps of the saddle. Sesshomaru folded his arms across his chiseled chest and waited for the fox kitsune to lead Ah-Uhn over to where he stood.

The stable hand gave the reigns over to Sesshomaru and bowed respectfully to the demon prince. Sesshomaru easily climbed into Ah-Uhn’s saddle and commanded the beast to take flight. The violet night sky was clear and there was a gentle breeze filtering through the trees. Sesshomaru arrived back home to his father’s palace in the Western lands quickly. Handing Ah-Uhn’s reigns over to a stable hand the demon prince strode towards the magnificent white stone palace he called home.

His footsteps seemed to echo loudly off the stone walls as he strode towards his father’s study. Sesshomaru paused and lifted his hand to knock on the large wooden door of the study when his father’s deep baritone voice filtered through it. “Come in Sesshomaru,e bee been expecting you.” Sesshomaru drew in a deep breath before grasping the smooth pewter handle of the door. He padded elegantly into his father’s study and stood before the large dark cherry wood desk where Lord Inutaisho sat. “Please son, have a seat.”

Sesshomaru sank down into the black high backed chair across from his father. “You wanted to speak with me father?”

“Yes Sesshomaru.”

“What about?” Inutaisho cleared his throat a bit nervously as he prepared to speak what was on his mind.

“About your relationship with Princess Jennica.” Sesshomaru coughed dryly and shifted his gaze downward to stare at his hands that were neatly folded in his lap. “Sesshomaru, what exactly is going on between you two?”

“I suppose you want an explanation for what you walked in on this afternoon?”

“Indeed. How long has this been going on?”

“Not long father I can assure you that.”

“What are your intentions?”

“My intentions?”

“I understand that you’re not yet old enough to take a mate, however you should be starting to consider your possibilities.”

“About mating? For life?”

“Yes, taking a life mate is very important Sesshomaru, and the woman you decide to choose should be taken just as importantly.”

“Are you suggesting that I should consider taking Jennica as my mate?”

“Perhaps when the time comes, yes. A union between Princess Jennica and yourself would prove to be an incredible alliance of our territories.” Sesshomaru pushed himself out of the chair and glared down at his father icily.

“Jennica is my best friend and we share a physical relationship as well, but nothing more shall ever come of it! I’m not going to take my best friend as my mate now let’s drop the subject!”

“Sesshomaru, Jennica is the perfect mate for you!”

“End of discussion father, it’s not happening!” Inutaisho watched as his eldest son stormed out of the study angrily. He began to wonder if he had possibly overstepped his boundaries by pressing the issue about Jennica. Sesshomaru strode into his chambers slamming his door shut behind him. He was practically seething with anger over his father’s talk of mating with Jennica. The very iof tof taking his best friend as a mate was absurd. It was a bad idea for one because it could ruin their friendship and for two there was the fact that he didn’t have those kind of feelings for Jennica.

At Lord Iaella’s estate in the Northern lands Masako had drawn Jennica her bath. Jennica sank down into the large white marble furo until the warm water reached her collarbone. Masako sat on a small cushioned stool beside the furo and began to wash Jennica’s long coppery colored locks. “Masako?”

“Yes milady?”

“Have you ever been in love before?”

“Oh yes of course.”

“What’s it like?”

“It’s the most wonderful thing in the whole world milady.”

“Is there anything more wonderful than love?”

“Oh yes milady.”

“What is it Masako?”

“To be loved in return by the one that you love. Why so many questions about love milady?”

“Oh well I’m beginning to think that I may be falling in love Masako.”

“With young Prince Sesshomaru milady?” Jennica’s cheeks turned bright crimson as she sank down lower in the furo.

“N-no…well I….I’m not really sure yet Masako. How do you know for sure if you’re in love with someone?”

“If you would gladly put your happiness aside for theirs. Would you sacrifice your own happiness for Sesshomaru’s milady?”

“Well yes, he’s my best friend, but I can’t feel that way about him it isn’t right.”

“Well I’m afraid that it’s too late because you’re already in love with Prince Sesshomaru milady.” Jennica remained silent as Masako finished washing her hair. After drying off Jennica slipped into a white silk robe and retired to her chambers. She found herself hoping that Sesshomaru would come to her terrace door tonight and finish what he started. Discarding the robe on her vanity chair she slipped naked beneath the sheets of her bed to wait for Sesshomaru.

Groaning in annoyance he stood and padded over to the terrace doors of his chambers. Walking out into the cool night air his gaze immediately shifted towards Jennica’s palace in the Northern lands. Closing his amber eyes he quickly summoned his red cloud and it appeared at his feet instantly. Rising gracefully into the air he headed towards the Northern territory.

Sesshomaru folded his arms tightly across his chest as the cloud carried him closer to his destination. Staring straight ahead his lips were drawn in a tight expressionless line as he neared the gray stone palace that belonged to Lord Iaella. Gliding around the east wing of the palace Sesshomaru landed effortlessly onto Jennica’s terrace. He padded silently over to the terrace doors and grinned victoriously when he discovered she had left them unlocked for him. The demon prince crept into Jennica’s dimly lit chambers and quickly shrugged off his crisp white robes.

Sesshomaru made his way over to the large wooden canopy styled bed and pulled back the goose down sage green blanket. His amber eyes were immediately graced by Jennica’s nude pale milky flesh. Jennica’s grayish amber eyes fluttered open feeling the sudden chill on her exposed flesh. “Sesshomaru?”

“Yes, who else would be in your room at this hour of the night?” Grinning broadly she pulled him down into bed with her. Their mouths joined in a scorching kiss as their bodies molded together perfectly. Sesshomaru’s length slipped easily inside Jennica’s soft eager body. The two began a slow gentle rhythm at first savoring the feel of each other’s flesh against their own. All too soon they were hungrily rocking against each other desperately seeking their release.

As their release surged through them they crushed their mouths together to stifle their moans. Jennica felt Sesshomaru’s thick seed as it spewed onto her stomach. She watched Sesshomaru dress as she wiped his wasted essence from her silky flesh. “What are you thinking about Sesshomaru?”

“Something my father said.”

“Oh and what was that?”

“That he thinks you would be the perfect mate for me.” Jennica smiled sweetly at him before responding.

“And what did you say?”

“I told him that was ridiculous because that was never going to happen between us. We’re best friends and we don’t feel that way about one another.” The smile melted from Jennica’s face and was quickly replaced by a frown.

“And why is it so ridiculous?”

“Because we don’t love each other like that Jennica! This whole discussion is absurd and I refuse to take part in it any longer!” Before she could say another word Sesshomaru strode out onto the terrace. From her bed she saw him take to the skies on his red cloud. Tears began to spill down her cheeks like rivers. Why was it so ridics tos to think that they could become mates? Jennica knew that she loved Sesshomaru genuinely as a friend and would be perfectly happy spending the rest of her life with him. From his actions it seemed that he didn’t share his feelings and that was incredibly devastating to her. Sesshomaru was quickly becoming more than a best friend to her, he wurniurning into the love of her life, and she meant little more to him than a bed warmer.

Even though it was wrong and hurtful to continue their inglingless sexual affair Jennica could not consider ending things with the handsome and often times arrogant demon prince. Maybe if she continued to share his bed she would eventually possess every inch of his heart and that was something that was worth hoping for.
