Battle of Wills (revised)

Inu Yasha jumped through the trees at a furious pace. 'How could she do that?' He questioned himself as he quickly followed her scent. 'How could she just leave in the middle of the night like that?' His pace became more frantic as he picked up the scent of her tears. She had been crying. She had been crying practically the whole way. Did he do this to Kagome? Had he made her do something she wasn't prepared for? His heart sank. He had known her long enough to understand why her path seemed to lead in this direction. 'The well.' He thought to himself. She was leaving him again. Hiding from him like she always did. She was sparing his feelings and escaping back to her time. "Not this time Kagome." Inu Yasha barked softly as he approached the clearing of the well. This time he would make it all right. This time he wouldn't leave her to suffer to spare his pride. He would throw himself at her knees if he had to. She was all that matter, and he would show her that...somehow.

He paused at the edge of the well and looked down. The scent of her sorrows seemed pool within it. "Oh Kagome..." Inu Yasha whipsered against the wind as he ran his hand along the soft wood. He growled softly against tears that threatened to well up behind his golden eyes, and jumped into the well before emotion got the better of him.

He hit the bottom.

Nothing.

Inu yasha's heart began to race. Had she seeled it? 'No!' His mind screamed. He needed to tell her he was sorry. He needed to beg her forgiveness. He needed her to scream and yell at him as they had always done in the past. "Kagome!" He screamed as his eyes began to fill with tears. "Kagome no!" He pleaded again as he began to claw at the earth on the bottom of the well.

Inu Yasha howled loudly as he balled his fists in the dirt. He closed his eyes as a stray tear spilled over his cheek and fell to the ground beneath him. He stared at it. His eyes focused on it as it slowly seeped into the soft earth and disappeared, leaving barely a trace behind it. He leaned back against the well, a hand laying against his stomach. He suddenly felt very ill. Was this it? He would never see her again? This couldn't be it. Why...

Inu Yasha's mind suddenly snapped to attention as he noticed the broken cobwebs on the other side of the well. He pulled himself into a crouched position and sniffed at it. "Kagome was here." He whispered softly as his heart began to beat within his chest again. She had been sitting at the bottom of the well just as he had. 'That means......' He took a deep breath as the realization hit him. 'She couldn't pass through either. She's still in this world.' He allowed his fingers to rub over the rough texture of the well wall. "So sad...." He whispered again as the scent of her sorrow assaulted his nose. Slowly he balled his clawed hand into a fist. How had she gotten out of the well without leaving behind some sort of trace? "Doesn't matter..." He spoke softly again as he jumped from the well with new resolve. "I'll find you Kagome." He pledged as he began to head in the direction of Kaeda's village.

"Soon will be together again..." He spoke out loud as he bounded from tree to tree again. "and then everything will be all right." He finished in a bark so loud the animals of the forest quickly scattered.

Kagome's eyes fluttered open as the sun began to spill through the rose tinted curtains. She sighed softly, feeling a strong bicep flex and contract, as a clawed hand pulled her closer and rested against her breasts. Her eyes closed as she allowed a contented smile to grace her lips. The comforting safe feeling she remembered had returned to her as she laid against Sesshoumaru. She took another deep breath as she opened her eyes and stared at the room around her. 'So beautiful.' She thought as she turned over and let her eyes take in the complete splender of it. The sun now fully lighting the roomas she groaned softly and stretched her arms above her head, yawning.

"Good morning." Beckoned a low soothing voice from the large demon laying next to her.

Kagome smiled and turned her head to the side. "Good morning Sesshoumaru." She answered in an almost dreamy voice. She felt as if she WERE in a dream. The troubles of her heart seemed like such a distant memory as she laid next to Sesshoumaru in this place. His warm skin and gentle voice soothing her, as the soft colored fabric of the room seemed to hold back any hint of the real world that exsisted beyond.

"Did you sleep well?" He questioned softly while trailing a lazy hand against her stomach, lightly dragging his claws against her smooth skin.

She bit her lip to hold back a moan as the simple action seemed to ignite the fire that burned deep within. "Yes." She sighed softly, squirming against his touch.

He smiled as her scent betrayed her yet again. He stared at her hungrily as he rested his face against his palm, lightly dragging his clawed fingers against the swell of her tummy and the curve of her hips. His smile grew as he watched her fight against the shudders and moans he evoked so easily within her.

"The bed is so soft..." She moaned out softly as she closed her eyes.

"Mmmmmmmm" He answered back, almost purring, as he let his finger move down her midsection and lightly brush against her swollen womanhood.

Kagome gasped softly as a wave of need seemed to overtake her body, causing her to shudder. She moaned softly as her mind seemed to scream something she couldn't quite understand through the delicious sensations that began to grow within her. 'Stop?....No...that couldn't be it.' She thought, moaning again as she felt a delicate finger slip inside her swollen folds to rub against the throbbing bundle of nerves that begged for attention. "Oh Sesshoumaru." She whispered softly as her fingers grasped at the fabric above her head and her stomach tensed. It all felt so good, and she had denied herself for so long. She wasn't being rational. She didn't care. She needed this.

Kagome sighed softly as she spread her legs, wimpering softly as she pleaded for more, gently arching into his touch.

Sesshoumaru growled. He had wanted this for so long. To pleasure her and to make her scream. She drove him mad as she retreated and advanced against his affections. Would this end the same? Would she let him touch her only to pull back at the last minute? He didn't care. He needed her. He wanted her to need him. He growled his pleasure again as he began to run hot kisses against her neck, and applying more pressure with his finger as he rolled it in lazy circles over her pleasure center.

'I will not give her the oppertunity to change her mind.' He thought to himself as he ran his hot tongue against her erect nipple, causing her to cry out again. Slowly, he wrapped his lips around the soft peak, sucking it into his hot mouth as he continued to rub against the small nub that grew wetter under his attentive touch.

Kagome moaned loudly as her hands tangled themselves in his hair. Her breath burned in her lungs as she gasped in long staggered breaths between cries. She was lost. The need was too great. 'How long will you punish yourself?' Her body argued with her mind. 'How long will you deny yourself the feeling of him inside you? The indescribable feeling of him pushing into you? The blissful extasy as you contract around him, screaming his name? "Gods!" Kagome groaned as her body seemed to betray her. "Please Sesshoumaru." She begged as she stared down into his half opened eyes.

He stared back at her as his lips continued to suckle harshly at the now rosey peak. She was pleading with him. But not for him to stop. She wanted him. No. She needed him. He growled softly again as he pulled his lips from her breast and postioned himself over her, his hair falling around her flushed face as he stared down into her eyes. He needed this. She wasn't stopping him. What had changed from last night to this morning he wasn't sure, but humans were often irrational, and she smelled so good. He wasn't going to ask her if she was certain.

"Please." She pleaded again as she wrapped her legs around his hips, urging him to bury himself within her.

Slowly, he ran the tip of his erection across the smooth wet lips of her womanhood, causing her to moan and arch her back. He held her face with one hand and he guided himself with the other. He stared into her eyes intently. He needed her to see her eyes. He needed it as badly as he needed to be inside her now.

She stared back, meeting his challenge, gasping softly as she felt him begin to push inside her. Slowly pushing her apart as he slid into her slick passage. She stared in amazment as she saw his lips tremble. Had he wanted this as much as she? Had he suffered as much as she did when she turned away from him? She moaned again as he slid completely inside her, burying himself in her warmth.

"Sesshoumaru..." She whispered softly as he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. Lightly, she let her hands caress the soft and smooth texture of his cheek.

He growled softly, his hand grabbing at her wrist as he opened his eyes. 'Fuck her.' His demon half screamed. 'Show her what it is to love a demon.' It demanded as he pinned her wrists above her head. 'Make her scream!' It ordered again as he grabbed her legs and pulled them over his shoulders, pinning her desperately against the bed. 'Teach her to submit!' The voice screamed.

Kagome gasped as he pressed her legs so far forward that her knees almost touched her nose. She struggled against his hold on her wrists as she tried to reach for his face. She tried to stare up into his eyes again, but was only met by a dark red gaze.

He growled loudly as he began to pull back and then slam his body against hers roughly. The sound of their skin slapping evoking another loud growl to roll from his chest. He slammed himself deeply within her again and again as he pinned her to the bed, an evil smirk gracing his lips as he completely dominated her.

"Oh Sesshoumaru!" She moaned as she felt their bodies collide. The sound of their love making echoing loud enough through the small room that she worried just how thick the walls were. "Yes!" She cried again as she writhed beneath him helplessly.

Sesshoumaru continued to assault her body at maddening speeds. "My bitch." He grunted in her ear. "You like this don't you?" You questioned in a perverse tone as he continued to ram himself deep within her.

"Yes!" Kagome screamed in pleasure as his pace quickened. "Harder." She pleaded as she began to feel the world fade away. "Please don't stop." She begged desperately as she felt her muscles begin to tense. Her legs pushing against him as best they could in her impossible position.

He growled loudly and began to slam into her harder, causing the wood of the bed to squeak and knock with every thrust. His breath began to come out in loud gasps as he felt her inner muscles begin to contract around his hard member.

"Sesshoumaru!!" Kagome screamed as the knot in her stomach exploded in a mind numbling, crippling, wave of pleasure. Her body struggled violently against his grasp as her orgasm overtook her. She cried out again as she laid pinned beneath him, her body and mind in a state of pure extasy.

He almost wimpered as he felt her body contract and tense around his. 'Fuck her till she begs you to stop.' His demon side demanded again as he continued to slam into her. 'She likes it.' It continued. 'Teach her what it is to love a demon.' It echoed again as he began to lose control. "Kagome..." He bit out gruffly as his body began to tremble against her. He hissed and buried his face in her breasts as he felt his essense begin to fill her. His clawed hands fisted in the fabric of the matress as he tried to stop the trembling of his body. Never had he ever experienced anything so ...intense before in his life. The demon that rarely allowed himself to indulge in such useless things as emotions, was now swimming in them, as he slowly filled this humans womb with his seed. He began panting heavily against Kagome's chest as he slowly recovered from his intense orgasm, sweat coating his brow.

"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome questioned timidly as she felt him begin to breath again, against her chest. "A-are you all right?' She questioned as she stared down at him in awe. Never before had she experienced such an intense....she couldn't describe it. She could tell from his reactions, it had taken a tole on him as well, and it concerned her.

"Fine." He managed to reply as he regained his breath and raised his head from her breasts. Slowly, he released her now trembling legs from his shoulders and withdrew from her body.

"That was amazing..." She whispered softly as he crawled next to her again, wrapping his arms around her middle and pulling her close. "Did....." She bit her lip as she reconsidered her question. "Did you enjoy it?"

Kagome could feel another laughed rumble quietly within his chest.

"Yes." He answered softly before placing a soft kiss against her forehead.

Kagome sighed softly as she began to relax against him again. "Do we have to get up yet?" She groaned as the sun began to rise against the horizon.

"No." He answered softly.

"Good." Kagome smiled as she stared up at the cieling. Somehow she didn't feel guilty. She had needed this. He had needed this. It all felt so right. Why it felt so right should couldn't explain. She sighed softly as she felt a soft purry noise escape his lips. She stroked at the arm that held her gently and sighed with contentment again. If only she could stay in this room, in this bed forever. Lay in Sesshoumaru's arms forever. The image made her sigh again.

"If only." She whispered softly as she continued to stroke at the strong arm that held her. "If only."
