Torn between two brothers.

Kagome had pleasant dreams that night. Her body recently ravaged by a not so gentle hanyou had influenced them no doubt. She awoke the next morning feeling as if she was glowing from the inside. She stroked the soft bedding finding it softer then usual. It tickled her nose. She rubbed her cheek against it, only to find that it purred! She opened her eyes in surprise and was met with the most captivating golden gaze. It was still dark out, the sun would not rise for at least another hour, and she marveled at how the eyes seemed to glow in the dim light. She slowly gain consciousness and felt a body pressed up against her, realizing what it was that she had been snuggling up against.

"Sesshoumaru."

"I won't let him have you.” he whispered.

Before she could say anything more a hand was clapped over her mouth and she was whisked out of camp. She struggled as the tight arm held her up against his chest, but it just held tighter. Either from fear, or panic, or maybe because she couldn't breath with Sesshoumaru's hand over her mouth she passed out. Everything fading into a nice comfortable haze.

***********************************************************************

Kagome awoke several hours later. She was warm and the room was well lit. She could tell she was laying on something very soft. Bed-like, she thought, still refusing to open her eyes. She felt warm breath against her throat. Finally a deep voice whispered "I know your awake, you needn't fear me." She opened her eye. Many candles burned in the room making it smell sweet. She was laying on something she deemed to be more like a big pillow then a bed. Sesshoumaru's arm was draped across her stomach. Kagome's heart began beating hard against her chest. She swallowed hard and finally turned to meet his unyielding gaze. "Sesshoumaru...Inu Yasha and I .." he put a finger to her lips to stop her from saying more.

"I can smell his scent all over you", he started coldly, "but that does not make you his." He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and began stroking her cheek lightly.

It was at this time that Kagome realized she had no clothes on. In her haste with Inu Yasha and not wanting to explain to ANYONE why she needed a new set of clothing she had simply gone straight to bed, wrapping herself in her sleeping bag and decided she would get dressed early that morning before anyone knew anything had happened. Kagome blushed hotly, she nervously inched her body away from his only to have a hand grab her hip.

"I know you love the Hanyou", he began again in a monotone voice. "but he has spent too long deciding he wanted you. He constantly puts you in danger. I can stand for this no more." He positioned his body over hers. Kissing her sweetly as he had before. Kagome was at a lose. 'How could things be so backward?' she thought as the man above her kissed her with the gentleness she had hoped to receive from her hanyou lover.

Sesshoumaru begin kissing gently down her body grimacing at the marks his brother had made earlier,

"Beast!" he mumbled.

He let his lips track lower and lower over the sensitive flesh teasing Kagome and making her squirm with frustration. He lowered his
face between her legs and inhaled her scent letting it wash away any previous ...doings...with his younger half brother. He let his tongue probe inside her which made Kagome jump. He smiled grabbing onto her thigh with his hand, careful not to scratch her with his claws. She gaped at how he treated her like a fragile doll. So much more tenderly then Inu Yasha had. He took long drawn out tastes of her constantly looking up to watch her expression as he did. She moaned loudly as he invaded her with his warm tongue, gripping at the soft cushion beneath her. She began to lose control again, the knot in her stomach twisting. Sesshoumaru anticipated how close she was and gently slid two clawed fingers inside her, continually licking the tiny throg nug nub affectionately. "Gods yes..."she muttered grabbing the pillows tightly as her body shuddered with ecstasy. She felt herself clench around his fingers and his tongue explored her further reveling in the sweet taste of the young girl.

Sesshoumaru crawled back next to her and wrapped his arm around her again. He absently massaged one of her nipples ever so gently. He snuggled his nose under her ear and smiled. "All that is left now is for you to choose." he stated qly. ly.

Kagome stared at the ceiling. 'CHOOSE?' She sighed.
