Moonlight

Chapter 3

Youkai's Lust

The rain tapping on her window woke her up in the middle of her sleep. She groans softly in bed, pulling the cover over herself curling up in a little ball. She almost looks like a little cocoon, not wanting to come out. After tossing and turning, not being able to get back to sleep, she got out of bed. Yawning she made her way to the kitchen and starts her coffee maker. She heads into the bathroom, turns the shower taps on to get the warm water going. She turns around and did her usual sanitary routines, stepping into the shower she let the stream of warm water cascade over her weary body. She turns the dial a little warmer to let the heat release the tensions and sore muscles from her performance and the all night partying. Man, I am TIRED!

She closes her eyes and leans her face underneath the facet and let the water run down her body. It felt so amazing on her sore body. She closed her eyes and wraps her arms about her, pressing her full breast together. And as the water massages her skin, thoughts of the Youkai swept through her mind, steadily she became excited with thoughts of his lips on hers. Shaking the thought away, she begins to soap herself, starting at her shoulders she works quickly downwards over her breasts, paying extra attention to the nipples that had hardened slightly under her finger tips. Squeezing more of her shower gel in her palm she rubs it over her twin mounds making them shine with a soapy gloss. Peonies. It smells so good to her. She starts playing with her buds, squeezing them hard and rotating the hardened flesh, enjoying the wonderful jolts it sent through her body. Her hands made its way softly and gently down over her stomach, coming finally to her landing strip of dark hair, opening her legs slightly she pushes her lips apart with her index and middle finger.

Parting her lips open she rubs on her little nub. Letting out a soft moan of the pleasurable sensation, her encouragement to go further was stopped when she heard.

“Very nice” His voice rang out in her mind.

Startled she snaps out of her little self pleasuring and swallows hard. Why am I fantasizing about him and me? With both hands she washes her face quickly, erasing any images of him from her mind. She’d met him at the club and she was going to leave it at that. He must not know who she really is. She’s worked to hard to keep her identity a secret.

She slips directly under the running facet and let the water wash away all the lathers. Turning the water off, she steps out of the shower, shaking off any thoughts of the Youkai from her mind. Grabbing her silk kimono robe, she slides into it and went to get some coffee to wake her up.

She stands in front of the window looking out at Tokyo, rain falling down and people scurrying back to work under their umbrellas. It’s still so early she thought, taking a long inhale of her hazelnut Godiva coffee. She takes a sip and continues to stare outside. She usually likes it when it rain, but she had hoped to get some errands done today since the last two days she’d been completely exhausted with the club appearances.

I still have to look over the new business proposal to expand to Singapore for Father. She sighed heavily at the task. Her father usually gives her important paperwork to look over and give him her own advice and thoughts on the matter. It was a sign of trust and respect from him but at the same a burden for her to bear. She didn’t want to disappoint him, and she didn’t want to give him the wrong advice.

She turns the TV and watches CBNBC for the news. The market report was already done so she turns her music on instead.

She got the reports and curled on her couch with her coffee and starts looking through them. Reading through them she began to yawn. Suddenly, thoughts of him ran through her mind again. She remembers his scent from last night. The way he had caved in to her teasing and taunting. Whenever she’d pushed him, she felt a spark going through her body. She shook the thoughts from her mind. She wasn’t going to get herself worked up over him. She’d had enough with one Tashio brother, she did not need to get involved with another one.

It was a long time ago. She was young, but she’d fallen for his younger half-brother, InuYasha. She fell hard for those gorgeous golden eyes, the long silver hair - so soft when she ran her fingers through them. She thought she was so in love with him. Young teenage love. He’d turn on her and left her for his ex-girlfriend, who was engaged to another man. Her heart throbs in pain at the thought. Though it had already been a few years, it still hurts her that he had up and left her – just like that.

But she’s not the same anymore. No longer was she the young innocent, good girl. No she was older now, wiser now, and she is not so innocent anymore. She’d found herself and her powers from within. She’d learn how flirt, seduce and make men fall on their knees. But all that, she reserved only for the club.

She likes to be under the radar in her daily life. She ignores and pretends not to notice when men checks her out. And she keeps herself busy on a regular basis, working as a general manager at her Father’s shipping company; Higurashi International. But, her efforts and contribution far exceeds that of her title role. She likes to keep it that way. She hated to be pressured and have expectations on her shoulders. She liked to be able to move freely about the company and not be buried under paperwork.

Forcing herself to pay attention to the paperwork again, she scans the lines carefully and thoroughly. Naraku Enterprises caught her eyes and she read it a little better. Apparently, the proposal is for NE to own most of the expansion into Singapore. How sneaky She thought. She wasn’t going to let that happen, no matter how much NE was planning on investing in the expansion project. She’d have to let her Father know right away. She thought of another company that would be suitable to invest in his business and that’s when it hits her.

Tashio Inc.

She’d hate to have to deal with him but, NE just seems like a bad choice. She didn’t have a good feeling about the owner/CEO Naraku himself. He just seemed so sleazy to him and with the cheap move written on the proposed contract confirmed that.

Besides, wouldn’t it be a good excuse as any to see him again? She shook the thought from her head. No, this is strictly business on Father’s behalf. I won’t even get involved. I’ll just tell Father that he needs to drop NE and go with Tashio Inc instead. That’s that. I’m not meeting with him, I’m not getting involved. Determined with her final decision, she sat down to write an E-mail to have a meeting with her Father, ASAP.

Saturday rolled around quickly and she got in her car driving to pick up Sota for their day of fun.

She honks the horn and watches as Sota runs down the steps of the Shrine. She wanted to go up and pick him up except she’ll get the silent treatment from her mother and she didn’t want to deal with the awkwardness.

Ever since she had chosen not to devote her life to the Shrine and went her own way, her Mother still hasn’t forgiven her. Her Mother resented her for leaving and thought that she was after the money her Father had set aside for her. It had hurt her that her own Mother would think she was so shallow. She had thought their relationship was closer and her Mother was more understanding, especially they were so close when she was in her teenage years, but now, they were different and distant. Their relationship had become ‘civil’ around each other.

She couldn’t understand why her Mother had to be so difficult. Then again, she knew that her Mother wanted her by her side. She had felt betrayed by Kagome when she’d taken work at her Father’s company rather than with the family Shrine. Especially when her Father had left her mom for a younger woman after he’d been successful. It was disgusting to her and she didn’t care too much for her step-mom, however, she wasn’t taking any sides. She wanted to do what she wanted to do. She enjoyed the business world. She was good at it. Just because she was ‘gifted’ with miko powers didn’t mean she had to sacrifice herself for others’ sakes. It wasn’t what she wanted at all. She wanted her freedom. She wanted the thrill of life. She’d witness her Mother doing the same thing day in and day out all her life. It was boring. It was lonely. She didn’t want to be like that. She wanted to be free and have fun. She’s still after all, only 21. She still had the rest of her life ahead of her.

“Hey Kagome!” Sota greeted.

“Hey Sota. How are you doing?” She asked.

“Good. Thanks for taking me out! I can’t wait!” He exclaimed excitedly.

He’s so cute. She thought. She doesn’t get to see him enough, being so busy at the office and her ‘other’ job that no one else knows about. Her wild side being set free.

“I’m good. My birthday is coming up!” He announced excitedly. As if she’d forgotten.

“Oh really?” She pretended. “Hmm…you’d be let’s see…..30?” she teased

“Kagome! NO! I’ll be 9!” Sota protested.

“Wow. Nine huh? Not even in the double digits yet!”

“So have you gotten me a present?” He asked

Sighing she had to smile. Kids, all they can think about is gifts and present. She’d already bought him a present. She got him a motor scooter so that he can travel around town whenever he wants.

“I’m supposed to get you something?” She continues to tease

“Kagome!”

“Anyway, how are mom and grandpa?” She asked truly concern.

His face changes and he wasn’t so excited anymore. “They’re doing ok. Same ol’ same ol’ everyday. I wish you guys will talk again.” He commented pouting.

“Well, you take care of them for me ok? And you let me know if they ever need anything.” She instructed.

“Yeah, I will.”

Seeing her brother sad makes her heart ached. “So I’m taking you to this new plaza. They have an arcade, movie theatre and even a shopping mall. Maybe we can get you something new to wear for your birthday, what d’ya think?” She changed the subject to cheer him up.

“Yeah! I heard so much about it! My friends have all gone there already and they told me that it’s the best place for video games!” His attitude perked up and he was smiling excitedly again.

She scrolls through her electronic planner while Sota runs form one video game to the next. She glances up occasionally to make sure he was still within her sight. He’d already drag her out to play a few games with him and now she wanted to rest. Glancing up from her planner she saw that he was playing air hockey with a cute little girl in a brown dress with yellow flowers.

How cute she thought, smiling to herself.

Scrolling down her planner again, she felt like she was being watched. She pretended to be busy with her schedule still. Grabbing her sunglasses she slides them on. Looking up, she scans around for Sota. He was still playing with the little girl. They were concentrating heavily as the game was at a tie and the next score would determine the winner.

Then he caught her eyes.

Sesshoumaru.

He was watching the two kids play, and had glanced over her way a few times. He had on button down shirt and slacks. He’d unbutton the top two buttons of his shirt and a bit of his chest was showing. His slacks black and seemed like it was missing his counterpart, the suit jacket. His hair tied to a pony tail right at his neck leaving his bangs parted at the front. She played it cool and pretended she didn’t notice him behind her sunglasses.

The little girl scores the winning score and jumps excitedly up and down.

“Daddy! I won! Ha! I beat you Sota!” She cheered.

“Yeah whatever, I let you win.” Sota retorted.

“Come on Sota, don’t be a sore loser.” The girl coaxed giggling.

“Rin, stop badgering your friend.” His voice soft and stern, but almost sweet.

“Come on Sota, let’s go play something else.” Rin offered.

By now, she’d been paying full attention seeing how Sota was friends with the girl. She smiles at Sesshoumaru. He looks back at her. She had on jeans and a white blouse pulled off the shoulders, revealing perfect neckline and toned shoulders. Her hair flows carelessly over her shoulders and her bangs cut straight at the front. Having more time to look at her carefully, he still wasn’t able to conclude that she and Eden are one of the same. Yet, there was just too many ‘coincidences’, their eyes for one, are exactly the same, beautiful round, and deep; colors are different, but that can be changed with contacts; the miko powers, and just the essence of her. Though the hair still threw him off. How would she have had hid the bangs? He would have to test her.

“Yours?’ He asked nodding at Sota.

“Yeah. I’m baby sitting.” She replied as she blushes a little remembering the naughty thoughts from the shower.

“Hey! I’m not a baby!” Sota protested.

“And you?” She asked ignoring Sota. He runs off with the little girl to the next game.

“No, she’s mine.” He replied looking after the little girl.

How had I not heard of him having a daughter? She looks nothing like him though….“She’s very cute. How old is she?” She was curious.

“Rin will be 8 soon.” His voice almost lined with a proud tone.

“Wow. I guess Rin and Sota knows each other huh?’ she asked casually.

“I was informed that they attend the same school together. Tokyo’s Gifted?” He answered.

“Yeah. Well, that’s really cool.” She replied, a little uncomfortable being around him. And a little nervous not understanding the churning in her guts.

“Eden.” His voice came out soft almost a whisper.

She ignores him as he called out. She glances at her planner, pretending to be preoccupied scheduling meetings. She’d train herself well when to answer to what name. But she couldn’t stop what her natural body did in response.

He’d sense her heart skip a beat when he called her name as “Eden.”

Looking up from her PDA, she smiles.

“Oh, how rude of me. I’m Kagome Higurashi.”

“Nice to meet you Kagome.” She’s changing the subject. “Is that Higurashi of Higurashi International or of the Higurashi Shrine?” he inquired.

“Both. HI is one of my father’s business, and the Shrine belongs to my Mother, it’s family owned for centuries.” She replied, blushing still.

“Ah, I see. I’m Sesshoumaru Tashio.” He offers his hand.
“Mmm.. I know who you are Mr. Tashio.” She smiles and shook it gently. A wave of energy shot through her and she withdrew her hand from his quickly.

“Please Sesshoumaru will do.” He instructed, letting his hand rest by his side again.

“Yes. Ok. Well, I better go fetch Sota. Or we’ll miss our movie. It was nice to meet you Mr. Tashio.”

She runs to get Sota and he follows knowing that the two children were playing with each other. “Sota.” She calls out. “It’s time. Our movie starts in 15 minutes.”

“Aww man. Alright. See you at school Rin.” He waves towards Rin.

“What are you going to watch Sota?: Rin asked in the most innocent voice.

“Oh we’re going to watch Transformers.” He answered excitedly.

Rin giggles. “That’s what we’re going to watch too! Wanna sit together?” She asked.

Sota blushes and Kagome had to smile at the little puppy love the two kids have going on.

“Umm…” he looks at Kagome, she nods. “Sure.” He answered almost as red as a tomato.

“Cool! Daddy, we’re all going to the movies together!” Rin exclaimed. Excited as ever.

Great. What am I to do with him? Does he know? Did I hear him calling me Eden? How would he know? Her thoughts raced nervously as they walked over to the theatre within the plaza.

During the movie the two kids sat next to each other. She was on the inside and he sat on the opposite three seats away. Good, at least we’re not sitting next to each other. Don’t think I can handle that.

After the theatre, Rin complained of being hungry and he invited Kagome and Sota along for a meal. Knowing Sota would like it very much Kagome agrees.

They went to a little burger joint. The kids ordered fish sticks and chicken fries. Kagome ordered herself a large cheeseburger, fries and a milk shake. I got cheated last time of my monthly treat, I’m going to make sure I get my cheeseburger! She said to herself with determination.

Sesshoumaru looks at her in shock. Can she really eat all that?

She did. Every last bite of it. He was amazed and amused that she was able to eat such a large meal. It was still early and the kids begged to go to the merry-go-round after dinner. The two complied. Sitting on the bench outside as the night sets in, she watches as the ride spins around for the third time. He took a seat next to her watching the kids.

She let out a long tired sigh.

“InuYasha” She said softly.

“Huh?” He asked confused.

“InuYasha. I dated him. He’s your younger brother. That’s how I know who you are.”

“I see.” Disappointment and slight anger lining his stoic voice. How did that half-breed manage to entertain the likes of her?

“I knew right away. Your hair, your eyes. Exactly like his.” She continues. Your lips are different from his, Sesshoumaru. Your lips are softer, they look softer….I wonder if they are as soft as they look…Her thoughts began to wander a little and she felt a little tingling sensation inside.

“Hn. Not exactly.” He defended

“Yeah. Not exactly….” She chuckled lightly before she turns to look at him in the eyes and smile a soft nostalgic smile of sadness.

Her phone rings.

She pulls it out of her purse and stares at the caller ID.

Elliot it reads. She presses the silent button and tucks the phone away again.

He ignores her little action. He’d sensed her slight arousal a minute ago. The phone had ruined her mood. And now she sits uncomfortably next to him. What is it about him that was making her uncomfortable? He inhaled deeply as the evening breeze brush past them. Her scent caught his nostril. She smelled of peonies again. It was sweet and he had grown to like it the few times he’d encounter her.

They parted ways a while later. The little ones had had the time of their lives today, hanging out with each other and getting what they wanted.

“She’s a pretty lady Daddy.” Rin commented “Sota’s sister. She’s gorgeous. When I grow up, I want to be as pretty as she is.” Rin said hopefully.

“Rin, you are already pretty.” He said tapping her little head.

“Yeah, but she’s so so…um…beautiful.” Rin said dreamy

“Yes she is.” He said softly under his breath.

The driver took them home and he instructed Rin to get ready for bed. When she was all set, he tucked her in and went to his study. He’d spend more time with her today than he’d planned or anticipated. But it was worth it. He was almost convinced that Kagome and Eden are one of the same. Yet, he wasn’t 100 percent sure. They were very different. Kagome seemed sad. Nostalgic. Eden was erotic, sexy and seductive. Eden was bold, whereas Kagome was more reserved.

He sat down on his desk and starts to look over some of the new business plans and proposals. He already knew that it was going to be a long night and he wasn’t going to get much rest. He started to read some of the new proposals his new engineer team had submitted. One after another, the paperwork flew by. Tired he got up to get a drink. He pours himself a glass of scotch and sat down on his desk again. Sighing heavily he takes a sip and closes his eyes. An image of Kagome glancing his way on the bench flashes through his mind.

His demon sense told him someone was at the door. He swiftly moves to the door and opens it before the bell could be rung. Startled Kagome looks up at him.

He stood in the doorway looking back at her, she’d changed from her jeans to a short lace skirt. Surprised she had shown up so unexpectedly. He invited her in, she enters. She walks past him and he closes the door behind them. He asked if she’d like something to drink.

“A Chopin martini, extra dry and two olives please.” She ordered.

Must be something important. He thought as he proceeds to make her drink and pours one himself. He hands her the martini glass. She thanked him with a wry smile. She took her drink and empties the glass in one long chug.

“So what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?” He asked.

She sets the empty glass down on the table and he turns to face her. She walks up to him and kissed the corner of his mouth. Startled at the abrupt kiss he froze. She continues and run her tongue along his bottom lip, and he took her breath away in a deep, sensual kiss, pulling her closer at the waist. She pulls away from him and stares into his golden eyes. A moment passes as she relished in the way his kiss had tasted of the martini he’d sipped, and something else that was just him. She inhaled his intoxicating scent before pulling him in again. This time it was filled with need. As their bodies pressed closer together, she could feel his engorged member pressing against her hip. She was already aroused by him, but the feel of his hard shaft sent her spiraling deeper into her arousal.

They pulled apart again and this time he cradles her face in his palm. He flips her hair away from her neck before his lips connected with her shoulder. His fangs nibble at her shoulder and up the side of her neck. He knees went weak and she was unable to stand any longer. She gave in and collapsed gently on her knees and knelt down in front of him. She pulls his zipper down as his hands starts to undo his belt and pants.

Kagome ran her hands up his thighs careful not to touch his swollen dick. Her hands wrap themselves behind him and grabs hard at his ass. As she grabs his ass, her mouth opens and her tongue flicks out to lick his engorged head. With a deep intake of breath, she places her open mouth over the head of his cock. He tilts his head back and let out a soft moan and his hand grabs onto her hair pulling her head closer.

Her tongue swirled and flicked over the head of his hard cock and down the middle as she continues to suck gently. She inhaled his cock repeatedly. His breath was coming in short gasps and he growls deeply in pleasure. She knew he was close to exploding in her mouth, she gave one last lick and with a slight popping sound, she freed his cock from her mouth.

Kagome stood up and pushes him onto the long chaise in his study. She stood between his legs, staring down at his hard cock. She slides her hands under her skirt and peels off her little g-string. She tosses it aside. He stood up, erect and hard. With his claws he rips off the buttons on her blouse and he took her tit into his mouth. He sucked and licked at her nipple sending tiny shocks straight to her core. His hands encircled both breasts and squeezed and kneaded them as his mouth and tongue worshiped her nipples into stiff peaks. She runs her hands through his long soft silver hair. She then tugs on his hair and pulls his head back, plunging her tongue deep into his mouth. His hands removed from her tits and found its way between her soft wet spot. He glides his thumb gently over and rubs on her little aroused clit.

She jumps as if a jolt of lightning went through her. He stood there, rubbing on her as she tilts her head back and moan. He laid her onto the chaise and lifts her legs and hips up off the chaise and over his shoulders. In an instant his hot mouth found her wetness and surrounds her little clit. His tongue was lapping at her juices flowing from within her. His fangs scraped her clit and he sucked it even harder. His tongue drove in and out of her slit, teasing and lapping at her juices. She moaned and thrashed as her orgasm hit strong. Her juices flowed over his tongue and he lapped furiously to take it all in. He moves to kiss her hot mouth, her juices still wet on his chin and lips. She kisses him deeper and harder and as their tongue danced he plunged his engorged cock into her. She broke away and gasped for air at the sheer pleasure of his thrusts. His engorged cock thrashed into her tight wet pussy and she screams out in pleasure. Begging shamelessly for him to continue. Harder. Faster. She pants and cried out his name in pleasure and when he looks deep into her eyes, she could tell he was near his orgasm. She arched her body to meet his thrusts and he slams into her hard and deep. He exploded and came inside of her. He slows down and finally stops, panting and breathing hard. He pulls out of her and she gets down on her knees once again, licking his juices off the tip of his head. She sucked the last drops of delicious cum juices from him and moaned in pleasure at his taste, feeling the load of his cum dripping out of her hot, wet, gaped pussy.

He looks down at her to see that her hair had gone from black to blonde and she held a wicked smile on her face. “You’re all mine” she said to him.

The sound of Rin’s thudding footsteps woke him to study where he’d fallen asleep in the same clothes and his paperwork strewn everywhere on the floor.

Something must be done about this matter. This Sesshoumaru cannot take another day of this! He thought angrily staring down at his hard on. He knew he had to get to her soon. He couldn’t take another day without tasting her lips, taking and ravaging her body. He knew, there is never a substitute good enough. The wheels in his head start to turn, setting in motion of how he was going to make her all his. Both of her….
