A Geisha's Love

A/N: Thank you for reviewing! Thank you InuYoukaiLiz for editing!

Coming out of the onsen, I held the towel around me closer as I used my other hand to run my fingers through my hair. Walking closer to Sesshoumaru's bed, I could only smile when I saw the pink and white silk kimono. Though the kimono was beautiful itself, the white flowers only made it better. Caressing the fabric lightly with my fingertips, I quickly dried off to try it on. Looking at myself in the mirror, I smiled. Hopefully, Sesshoumaru would not require it of me to straighten my hair. The curls in my hair looked nice... to me anyway.



"I see you have dressed." The voice said, softly. With the speed I used to turn around, my hair gently hit my cheek. Realizing it was Sesshoumaru, I quickly bowed.



"Thank you for the kimono, Sesshoumaru-sama." Staring down at the floor, I glanced up to see his legs.



"This Sesshoumaru cannot possibly see you in full if you are bowing." he said, patiently. Blushing, I raised my back and head up. Looking me over, he nodded once.



"Do you like this kimono?" he asked. I nodded with a smile. "Hai! I do." He nodded once more.



"Then this Sesshoumaru will make sure you have more kimonos like this one." Wishing I could keep the smile away, I blushed.



"Thank you, My Lord."



"Hn. Come. I have had servants prepare you dinner." he said, taking my hand. Following him down the hall and stairs, I hid a smile. Any of the stories that they told of Inu No Taisho's son being cold-hearted couldn't possibly be true. He hadn't been nothing but kind to me. Lost in thought, I had missed a step and nearly fell down the stairs.



Feeling his arm wrap around my waist and pull me back to him, he spoke, "You should be more careful. It would not be good for you to break something upon your arrival here." he said, before stepping down once more. I gulped, but nodded. I could only wonder if he meant break something expensive here in the Shiro, or me hurting myself physically.



Sitting down in the dining room to eat, I had noticed that Inu no Taisho was all ready seated. The food all ready placed in front of us, we waited until Inu no Taisho took the first bite, Sesshoumaru the second. As soon as as well as they did, I began eating as well. Before I had sat down, I had noticed another woman beside Lord Taisho. A woman as beautiful as her that I could only guess it was his wife... or mate. But if so, why would he want the company of geishas? Tearing my eyes away from her, I looked to Sesshoumaru who seemed as if he were growing impatient by the second.



"You look very nice, Kagome." Lord Taisho complimented, making me blush.



"Thank you." I said in return, my voice soft. Sesshoumaru seemed to not like such pleasantries and got straight to the point of his annoyance.



"Father. Why did you bring her?" he asked, growling.



Inu no Taisho smiled nicely before answering, "Izayoi is my mate-to-be. I thought it would be better if she came to share dinner with us this evening." Sesshoumaru only growled louder. From the death glare Sesshoumaru was giving Izayoi, I could tell that he didn't like her. I wondered why though.



"She seems like a nice person." I said aloud, not noticing it until all eyes were on me.



"What?" Sesshoumaru asked, his eyes narrowing. It took a moment for me to realize that he was talking to me. Chopsticks falling out of my hand and onto the plate, I looked down.



"Gomen-nasai. I did not realize that I had spoken aloud." I whispered softly.



"It will be best if you held your tongue, girl." Sesshoumaru bit out quickly. I immediately knew that Izayoi was a touchy subject.



"Sesshoumaru. Leave the girl be. She did not realize that she had spoken out loud." Lord Taisho intervened. Though Sesshoumaru had not said anything to me, I could feel the heated glare on my person. This was not good.



"Sesshoumaru!" Lord Taisho growled. Izayoi and I, both, jumped. Apparently she, too, hadn't heard Lord Taisho yell or at least, too often. "If you continue, I will send her back!" he threatened. My eyes widened at the threat, making me look up at both lords. Sesshoumaru only growled in return.



"You shall not touch her." he said before getting up, grabbing my wrist and quickly leaving the room. I couldn't do anything more but bite my bottom lip and wish for his vice like grip on my wrist to let go or loosen up. Upon entering his room, I was almost thrown on his bed. Quickly steadying myself, I watched as he entered his onsen, and winced when I heard the door slam. Rubbing my red wrists, I sighed.



"I hope that I did not make him angry." I said to myself, yawning. Getting comfortable once more, I laid my head on his pillow and before I knew it, went to sleep.









Izayoi looked to her Toga with a smile. "You're not really going to give her back to Miss Kishito, are you?"



Toga smiled. "No need to worry, love. You know I wouldn't. Especially when Sesshoumaru seems to have taken a liking to her."



"Hai." Izayoi could only smile at her soon-to-be-mate. She would not doubt him. Anything that he did always had reason.









Sesshoumaru was not too surprised his newly acquired geisha sleeping on his bed. Looking over her form, he noticed that she had not changed clothes. Suppressing a sigh, he removed the towel and quickly changed, himself. Flicking his hair away from his face, he plucked the yukata he had in his own wardrobe out and walked to his bed. Gently picking Kagome up as to not wake her, he swiftly removed the kimono from her body, willing his eyes to not wander down below her face, and dressed her in the sleeping yukata. Throwing the covers back, he laid her back in bed, him following after her. Watching her closely, he watched how her eyes fluttered in her sleep. She was so innocent, but...



"She draws this Sesshoumaru to her." he murmured, softly. Stroking her cheek lightly, he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. He nearly purred in pleasure from the feel of her warmth around him. Very soon, the great demon fell asleep himself.









"Kagome, wake up." I whimpered, closing my eyes tighter. I did not wish to rise so early. The sun was shining on my face, which is why I quickly took the pillow and threw it over my head.



"Just five more minutes, Kishito-sama." I moaned, turning my back to the unwelcome sun.



"This Sesshoumaru is not Miss Kishito." They replied, a hand snatching the pillow from me. I nearly whined as I went to grab the pillow. I stopped in mid-reach when I realized where I were and who was standing at the foot of the bed, in all his glory. Face turning pink, I quickly retracted my arm and looked down.



"Please forgive me, Lord Sesshoumaru." I said, blushing harder now. I bit my lip to keep from commenting when I heard him chuckle.



"Come now. I know that I am not the first male you have seen." I bit my lip harder.



"You know it is, My Lord." I heard him chuckle again, right before feeling the bed dip down. He was crawling up to me. Dammit.



"L-Lord--"



"Then aren't this Sesshoumaru lucky?" Though he asked this out loud, I knew not to answer. His hand was now on my chin, pulling my head up, my eyes meeting his. I tried to pull away, but he kept my chin there. Leaning closer to me, he pressed his lips to mine. They were soft but demanding. Sweet but deadly. I could not say anything at all as he pulled away from me. I fought the impulse to bring my fingertips to my lips.



Smirking at me now, he spoke, "This Sesshoumaru can also tell that I must be the first that has ever truly, if not ever, kissed you."



It took me a moment to realize what he had said and my face turned pink. Before I could stop myself, I replied, "What would you know? For all you do know, I could have been kissed plenty of times and yours would have been like all the others." There, I had said it. It was a complete and total lie, but it made me feel somewhat better. Apparently, Sesshoumaru knew I was lying, too from the way his eyebrow rose in challenge. Faster than I could blink, I found myself on my back, my hands above my head, his own hands holding them. Leaning down to my face, he stared into my eyes.



"This Sesshoumaru knows for a fact that you have yet to be actually kissed or... touched." he purred, his eyes roaming downward. I blushed furiously.



"Don't look at me like that!" I yelled, trying to pull my hands from his. He only held them tighter.



"Why not?" he asked, his eyes staring into mine now.



"It... It isn't appropriate!" He smirked.



"Is that so?" he replied, amusement in his voice.



"Yes! Now get up." Quirking an eyebrow, he leaned down further to bury his nose into my neck.



"You know, if this Sesshoumaru were a lowly demon, I would have took you last night as you slept in my bed," he murmured, though loud enough for me to hear him.



"But, if this Sesshoumaru had done so, he would not have heard your lovely moans and screams of pleasure." When I stiffened, he continued. "Do not be afraid, Kagome. This Sesshoumaru would not take you by force." he whispered, right before I felt his lips press against my neck. I did not know if I should have stayed still or attempt to retreat once more. I felt his nose nudge my neck.



"I know this is uncomfortable for you. I could smell it. But I will not move." he said, his hands now coming to wrap around me. Though I glared at him, I couldn't help but relax in his hold. I've heard all the stories and rumors about him and I have to know first hand that they're not all true. But, I did not like what he had done to me earlier at dinner...



Speaking of dinner...



"Sesshoumaru..."



"Hn."



"I'm hungry." I felt his breathing come to a stop, just briefly, before he spoke. "Then we will get something when this Sesshoumaru awakens." he murmured into my ear. I nearly screamed in frustration.



"I don't want to eat later. I wish to eat. Now." I said, trying to pull him off to no avail. I heard him chuckle then.



"Cranky are we?" My blue eyes narrowed. He then said, "Very well." Removing himself from me, he quickly threw on his robe and opened the door, calling for someone he called, Jaken.



"Cover yourself." Sesshoumaru demanded. I quickly pulled the sheets around me, staring at the door. Not too long afterwards, a little green toad had came scrambling to the door.



"Yes Mi'Lord!" he squawked. Sesshoumaru looked down at him from his nose.



"Bring this Sesshoumaru and Kagome breakfast." he commanded before slamming the door in his face. I distinctively heard a, "Hai, Mi'Lord." I looked up at the now disrobed Sesshoumaru and glared. Gods, he was beautiful.



"That isn't nice," I said, pushing the sheets away from me.



"Hn."



"And that's very annoying." I finished. I quickly found myself pinned underneath him.



"Your attitude amuses this Sesshoumaru." he replied, right before his lips found mine. Running his fingers through my dishelved hair, he gently pulled away.



"Feel free to kiss This One back." I scoffed, my lips red and swollen. He visibly smirked.



"I don't think so."



"I think you will." he replied, his fingers working the knots from my hair.



"Not ever."



"Hn." he said, moving in for another kiss, right before someone had knocked on the door. He growled. I could only guess that this annoyed him. I couldn't help but laugh. He turned his head and growled at me as he threw on his robe. I brought the sheet back up to me as he wrenched the door open, snatched the trays from Jaken, and slammed the door back closed.



"Sesshoumaru!" I yelled. Sesshoumaru only snorted in response, setting the food down on a little table near his window.



"Come eat." he said, pulling out a chair for me. "Afterwards we shall bathe."



"Not together, of course." I said, pushing my hair away from my face. He did not answer me, only smirked at my now incredulous face.



"I won't." I growled, my fists clenching as I sat down. Once again, he did not reply, only went around the table and sat down.



"Enjoy." I could hear the amusement in his voice.









Pulling the robe around me tighter, I glared at the demon in front of me. Smirking, he removed his towel, quickly replacing it with his usual haori and hakama. Just when I opened my mouth to speak, he threw a jade kimono at me.



"You didn't have to do that." I muttered. He turned around to face me. My face grew hot.



"What?" I asked, my eyebrow rising.



"I am waiting for you to dress." My eyes narrowed.



"I am not dressing in front of you." I replied. "You've seen plenty of me all ready." I muttered. I quickly shook my head, looking up at him again.



"Would you turn around or leave the room?" He only stared at me. "Please." I said, my voice flat. Sesshoumaru stared at me for a long moment before doing one of the things I had requested. Turning around. I watched him carefully; knowing that I should trust him, I quickly turned my back to him and dressed in the silk kimono. I ran my fingers through my hair when I had finished and started to turn around until I felt strong hands on my hips.



"M-my Lord?" I stuttered.



"Sesshoumaru." he corrected, his voice like velvet against my ear. Holding me there, I heard him gently inhale and exhale against my neck. Knowing he was smelling me, I took the time to do the same. Sandalwood. Delicious. I mused, right until I felt one of his hands move up to my shoulder. It slowly began to slide down. I stilled.



Past the left side of my breast.



Past my stomach.



My belly button.



To...



I quickly grabbed his hand and it stilled as well. He took my hand in his just as fast and brought it back up, turning me around. Pulling me close to him with his other hand, he leaned down to my face, his amber eyes staring at me lazily.



"You are aroused by this Sesshoumaru," he whispered, seductively. "The wetness between your thighs calls to me. But do not be embarrassed, this Sesshoumaru is aroused by you as well. If you feel closely," He slowly placed my hand between the two of us. My eyes widened when I felt the large bulge there. That couldn't... That couldn't be him! "You can see how much I want you." He paused, his right hand running up and down my side.



I couldn't move. I didn't dare to. I have never felt this way before. I've never even considered doing such things before. The warmth of his...penis... against my hand, was more than I've ever experienced. But, it was true. What he was saying was true. I did feel the heat between my legs, wanting very forbidden things from this demon. Just his touch made it feel like fire to my skin. I wanted to rub him, stroke what he had in my hand. For the first time, I felt empty. Empty between my legs. I suddenly pushed his hand away, turning around to stare at him. My eyes narrowed then.



"I am not Hasuma." I stated, my fists clenched. He seemed to be surprised by my statement.



"Kagome--"



"I am not Hasuma. I will not just willingly give myself to you!" I yelled, feeling the familiar burning behind my eyes. I was hurt and confused. Hurt because he might think I'm like Hasuma and confused because I was not used to something like this. I stared at him for a long moment with him watching me. He did not say a word, but I did notice that his eyes seem to harden.



"I see that I will have to ask for Lady Ayako to teach you what you need to know about women in the society." My brows furrowed then.



"To teach me?"



"That is correct."



"Why?" I asked, my hands on my hips. Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed. I know I was not ever supposed to ask a Lord or any man questions, but I could care less right now.



"Seeing as you don't know how to behave and know your place, I will have her stay here and teach you." I then understood why he was doing this.



"It's because of what I had said, isn't it?" I asked. He didn't answer. "I thought you said you liked my attitude?"



"I now find it utterly irritating." My eyes narrowed.



"I say 'no' to you when it came to... to... That! and you automatically turn into them." My eyes became teary then.



"What do you mean them?" he asked, coming closer to me. I stepped away. "The other Lords Hasuma and Jositomo--"



"I am not like them!" he growled, then, quickly grabbing my upper arm.



"I wish to go home." His eyes widened before immediately saying, "No."



"I wish to go home!" I repeated, my voice rising. Sesshoumaru stared at me for a long moment before roughly pulling me to him, his grip on my arm tightening.



“You will never go back to that place. I forbid it.” he stated with a growl. I openly glared at him. “Furthermore,” he began, his hold loosening. “I know you are not Hasuma. That is why This One chose you instead of her or her lackey, Jositomo to come back to the palace with me. They are not worthy.” he whispered, his face close to mine.



“Then why did you try to...” I trailed off, my teeth holding onto my bottom lip.



“As I have said before, I will not force you. This One is patient. I will wait until you are more comfortable with me...” he answered, removing his hand from my arm. “And ready.” he finished, inspecting the red hand print on my arm.



“Come. My father will want to see you.”



“Wait... What about Lady Ayako?” I asked.



“She will not be needed.” I had a hard time fighting a smile, then.



“Come.” he said, opening his hand to me. I nodded, gently placing my hand in his. Maybe I was wrong about Sesshoumaru. Sometimes he's nice, but sometimes... he's a baka.
