Wet Wings

Enjoy guys! Have fun, and be safe! heh...

One year later

Kagome loved wine. Pink lips pulled upwards into flushed cheeks as she wandered away from the party. She found her way out onto the terrace and leaned haphazardly over the railing, enjoying the cool night breeze.

A shimmer of silver caught her eye and she was filled with recognition. That was the man from before, the one she had healed in the dudgeon that day. She began to wave to him when she remembered how angry Sesshoumaru had been upon discovering he had escaped. Should she go get him? In her moment of hesitation, her feet were suddenly lifted from the stable ground and she was falling into the gardens, the hold on her firm.

Blue eyes widened and she gasped, her fingers wrapping into the red fabric. Through the curtain of her windswept hair she gazed into masked golden eyes, her lips gaping in surprise. They landed with a jolt and she clung tighter into his shirt as he leapt quickly away, wind whipping furiously against the pair. Shutting her eyes against the biting sting she tucked her wings tighter against herself.

Inuyasha stopped a safe distance away from the castle, fighting against his inner emotions. It was unbelievable how good she felt wrapped in his arms, the memory of her betrayal fresh on his mind and unforgivable. Quickly as to not loose courage, he flung her from his arms, watching as she skidded against the dirt and roots of the forest. The smell of her blood filled the night air.

Kagome gasped and cradled her bleeding elbow, looking up at the man with sudden distrust. “Who are you?” She hurriedly backed away, looking hopefully around for Sesshoumaru, wondering if he could hear her if she shouted for him.

Inuyasha was empowered with her lack of remembrance and his eyes laughed at her, angrily. “So you don’t remember me?” His voice was sharp, piercing.

Kagome dodged him to the best of her abilities, turning to run as he came at her. “I don’t know you!” She screamed as he tackled her, her face slamming into the jagged earth. “Sesshoumaru!” Her mouth was quickly covered by a clawed hand, and her kimono torn open. Horror filled eyes misted over with tears.

Inuyasha was quick and plunged his fingers into the soft flesh of her hip, reopening the old scar. “You’ll remember me.” He vehemently spat at her as he pulled the tainted Shikon no Tama from within his sleeve, and pushing it into her puckered skin. “Have a nice life Kagome.” He said the words coldly, licking the blood from his fingers as he stood.

Kagome flinched her hands going to cover her face in confusion. “Inu.. Inuyasha?” Her voice was shaky, but rich with its restored accent. Eyes widened in horror as she looked up at him, feet unsteadily holding her up. “Is it really you?” Eager arms opened and she lunged herself into his unresponsive arms. “Inuyasha!” Tears trickled warmly down his neck as she pressed into his throat. “Hold me!” She clung to him tighter, not understanding his lack of reaction.

Inuyasha pushed her away against the wanting he had to hold her. He looked deeply into the familiar hue of her sea blue eyes, no longer the demonic blue. This was Kagome, restored. She was looking up at him silently questioning.

Inuyasha guarded his heart against the rising emotions and pinned her with a cool stare. “You betrayed me Kagome.” He watched the emotions flicker across her face.

Shaky hands lifted to the front of her face, stopping, not covering her eyes as she stared at him, loosing her grip on the ground, falling. “It wasn’t a dream.” Her voice was wistful, scared. “Inuyasha it was a mistake!” She was quick to recover and desperately tried to get him to listen. “I only wanted to protect you.”

Inuyasha was prepared to hear her lies and turned his face from her, disbelieving her words. “You have a funny way of showing it.”

Kagome grabbed onto his hands from her kneeling position. “You have to hear me out, please listen to me Inuyasha! I love you.” She begged.

Inuyasha stared down at her, his eyes certain with his beliefs. “I saw what you did Kagome.”

Kagome closed her eyes, her grip on his hands tightening, fear slurring her words as she tried to explain. “N-no! I’ll start at the beginning, just… just listen to me, please Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha wanted to shake her hands free but remained still. “I want to hear, Kagome. Tell me why you did it.”

Kagome sucked in a huge breath and did her best not to be scared away by the look in his eyes. “Well the whole plan we had.. To go storm Sesshoumaru’s castle, get the remaining jewel shards… I just didn’t believe he had allied with Naraku! Inuyasha I’m so sorry, I knew you hated your brother but… I believed he had changed! His heart really had seemed to soften, the two of you had been getting along, sorta… That little girl he had kept around, he took care of her, that little human girl!” Kagome rambled on, trying to get him to understand her motives behind her actions. “I was afraid we were making a mistake by attacking him, I was afraid he would kill you.” Tears filled her eyes and she pushed her teary face into his clasped hands. “I made a agreement with him. In exchange for information he wouldn’t attack you, he promised me he would let us go, and aide us. If I had known-”.

Inuyasha cut her off, pulling his hand free from her warm wet face. “I’m so mad at you Kagome!” He screamed as he towered over her. “Why didn’t you trust me over him? If you had truly loved me you would have believed everything I was telling you.” He looked heartbreakingly sad. “You never loved me, I cant trust you now.”

Kagome desperately grabbed at his hands again. “Fine don’t trust me! Just don’t leave me Inuyasha, never trust me again! Just… Forgive me!”

Inuyasha pushed her away. “It’s not all as easy as that! Don’t you remember all who you hurt with your betrayal? Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Rin?” He added the little girls last name as to hint to her exactly how evil his half brother truly was.

Kagome sobered and pulled back as if burned. She remembered how easily Sesshoumaru had slaughtered the little girl as she ran to interfere when Sesshoumaru had gone back on his word, and attacked the small group. “Please Inuyasha, it hurts so badly to know I’m responsible. I wish I could undo it all, but I cant. I made a horrible mistake, please forgive me.” Her hopeful blue eyes begged his.

Inuyasha shook his head and stood firm. “I’m not going to stop avenging our fallen friends Kagome, you have obviously chosen a different side.” He looked away, wounded. “I cant trust you, and if I cant trust you I can not keep you near.” Inuyasha met her eyes with finality. “Kagome your not the woman I thought you were.”

Kagome was stunned, her hands pressing into her chest, her heart pounding painfully quick. She loved him, was there anything she could say to get him to believe her? Was he really going to leave her? Kagome had never known such fear. To be abandoned here, where she had no remaining friends or family? To be without Inuyasha? “I cant prove it to you?” She whispered her voice painfully hard to find.

Inuyasha remained silent for a few moments then caught her attention with his cool words. “How much of the battle did you see before you turned tail and ran Kagome?”

Kagome stiffened, her cheeks flaming with embarrassment. “I was a coward, I have no excuse for that. When things started falling so unexpectedly, I panicked. I saw Sesshoumaru kill you, I felt your life force dissipating, and I ran. When I felt you flicker out, disappearing like a flame, I wanted to run back! I was so ashamed. Inuyasha I couldn’t forgive myself, it hurt so badly. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t breath. It was so painful I had wished I’d stayed to die beside you for so many nights.”

Inuyasha gently took her chin, turning her face from side to side. “Is that why you did it Kagome? Why you requested of the fates such a change in yourself? How you forgot about me, how you became a demon?”

Kagome felt her eyes widen. That was right! She forgot all about how she sought out help when she was unable to summon the courage to end her own life. But a demon? She began to notice the changes to her body and struggled to remember, a vain effort. “I don’t remember anything before the change.” Her voice was lost, wondering.

Inuyasha released her face and leapt into a tree, crouching from the branch as he looked down at her one last time. “Kagome I hope your happy with the path you have chosen. I will not come for you.”

Kagome watched him disappear in a flash of red and hugged herself tightly, breaking down with howls of pain. What had she done? How could she make such a huge mistake? Fists pounded against the rough ground, her fists bleeding under the assault. Suddenly she felt warm arms envelope her and she hopefully looked up, praying to see Inuyasha. Staring in shock at the face of a woman she had never seen before. “Who are you?”

Yochi smoothed the heated skin on her face with cooled fingers. “I am the eldest sister of Fate, Yochi. I foresaw this happening, Doki still has a lot of growing up to do.” She smiled softly. “There was no avoiding it, and for that I’m deeply regretful. I will grant you peace with the setting sun so you may rest, fair maiden.” Yochi grinned into her confused eyes. “During the day, you will have to come to terms with your being. I can do no more then to offer you restful nights.”

Kagome was entranced by the glowing strings that spun gracefully in the woman’s fingers, and felt herself growing sleepy. Fighting the exhaustion with apprehension, Kagome struggled to remain awake. Limbs grew weak and she collapsed, laying motionless as the woman continued to weave, and her vision swam into the black abyss.

Yochi could feel the demon approaching and made a hasty departure, casting one last glance at the woman Kagome. “Farewell, and remember it is easy to warm a cold exterior from the inside out.”

Sesshoumaru saw her crumpled on the forest floor from a distance and was soon by her side, stooping. “Kagome?” He shook her shoulder, the smell of her blood and his brother filling the air around her. Rage gripped him and he flipped her onto her back, examining for wounds. Finding nothing more then a pool of blood on her hip he ran his finger over the healed flesh. Sesshoumaru lifted her into his arms, annoyed at the lost opportunity of hunting down the half-breed. He would take care of her first. They returned to the castle.

Kagome blinked her eyes open in confusion, staring up into golden eyes. Panicked she pushed away, hiding her face in her hands. Was that man from the dungeon going to hurt her again? Strong arms gripped her and pulled her into a warm body and she struggled.

“Woman.” The voice was clearly annoyed.

Recognizing it Kagome felt relief flood her to the core and uncovered her eyes. “Lord Sesshoumaru!” She breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed into his hold, nuzzling her body closer. “That man was so scary!” Kagome trembled in his arms. “He hurt me.” She confessed into his chest.

Sesshoumaru silently combed his fingers through her hair, stunned. “The half breed hurt you?” He wondered what would lead the hanyou to hurt the woman he claimed to love so dearly. “Tell me what he did.” His voice was soothing.

Kagome looked up into his comforting gold eyes. “He stuck something hard inside me, he drew my blood.” She marveled at the anger that contorted his features, and found herself pinned beneath him.

“He touched you?” It was a growl more so then a question.

Kagome nodded and slid a hand to her nude hip. “Here. He stuck it in here. She traced the star shaped scar. It hurt.”

Sesshoumaru breathed a sigh of relief, the jealously fading, unclouding his mind. “It’s already healed.” He gently brushed his finger tips over the area. “Why did you leave the castle? Where was Yuuka?”

Kagome blushed and looked away. “I don’t need a baby sitter anymore. I’m speaking very well now, its been a little over a year since you took me in Lord Sesshoumaru.”

Sesshoumaru tightened his hold on her pressing against her intimately. “Are you questioning me Kagome?” His eyes glittered threatening into hers.

Kagome gasped feeling him grow, hot and hard against her. “No my Lord.”

Sesshoumaru pushed her thighs apart sliding into her with a determined thrust. “Tell me why you left the castle.” He studied her for any signs of dishonesty, his hips pumping into hers.

Kagome struggled to answer him amongst the pleasure he was giving her. “I went out to cool my cheeks on the veranda.. I saw him there below.” She was unable to continue as a moan was torn from her throat and urged him closer, bringing her hips up against his. “More please.” She begged.

Sesshoumaru gripped her wrists tightly. “You went to him?” Angrily he thrust into her, bringing the awareness of pain to her senses.

Kagome jerked beneath him the anger in his eyes bringing forth a jolt of pleasure, and she clenched around him in response. “No of course not Sesshoumaru… I went to call for you but he suddenly was there, carrying me off into the woods.” She looked passionately up at him, lips parted with her moans. “If your angry, take me with that fury, fill me with it.” She leaned up and caught his lips.

Sesshoumaru dug his claws into her wrists, his breath hitting hotly against her face. “Yes I’m angry. I’m furious that mutt touched you.” He ran his tongue up the side of her neck, nipping. “You stupid girl.” His words rumbled into the soft skin of her throat. “You belong to me.”

Kagome pressed into him fervent for his angry touches, her body loving every minute of it. “Release yourself in me, I’m not as delicate as you treat me. I want the real you inside of me.” She panted with her passion.

Sesshoumaru chuckled, glaring down at her. “You really are a stupid girl.” Giving her as she asked he pumped furiously inside her, slamming into her with the honesty of his demon nature. She would taste the sweetness of pleasure and pain tonight.

Kagome was at a loss to the sensations flooding her, his large cock filling her as he moved within her with a speed he had never before used. Her walls wrapped tightly, spasming uncontrollably, hungrily grabbing for him. She loved the anger that heated his usually cold eyes, and the trail of his claws along her skin, leaving wet welts in their wake. Kagome trembled beneath him the pain keeping her on her toes, the inexpediency of it bringing a freshness that kept her craving his touch.

Sesshoumaru brushed her hair from her face, struck by how beautiful she was as she bleed for him so freely. Welcoming his cruelty with a lustfulness that filled him with a sense of completion. She was absolutely delicious. He leaned into her and ran his tongue sultrily across her red jeweled flesh, the taste of her blood leaving him craving for more. The sight of her face contorting in pain brought him to his peek and he came with her.

Kagome urged him for more, not wanting to loose sight of this beautiful emotion he was showing her, this new side of himself. He complied with a mocking face, his brilliance radiant as he strived above her. She ran her clawed fingers up his slick back, her fingers tangling in his hair and pulled him close to her wanting lips. The kiss left her breathless and she admired him. “Give me more.” She moaned as he flipped her to straddle his hips, claws holding her hostage, dominating her even as she rode him atop. “Teach me how to fly.” She breathed, spreading her wings wide.

Slowly the moon began to disappear behind the mountains and the first signs of morning became apparent. Darkness was lifted from the room, the veil giving way to the new day.

Sesshoumaru was content to rest, giving into the warm body that was snuggled softly up against him. His hands idly played with her hair, smoothing it free of the tangles. It was a waste of effort. The moment she woke he knew she would attack him with her morning passions, and it would be in a tangle all over again. Smiling to himself he waited, watching her with hungry eyes.

Kagome stirred, tired eyes seeking the darkness, a hand falling desperately across her closed eyes. She felt drained and knew that conciseness was a place she didn’t want to be. Something warm tickled her side and she fought against the urge to open her eyes. She didn’t want to face the day yet.

Sesshoumaru chuckled deeply at her antics, he must have really tired her out the night before. He ran his claws teasingly up her arm, pulling it from her face. “Kagome.” He huskily whispered her name, licking the shell of her ear.

Eyes sprang open and stared horrified at the looming face above her. “S-Sesshoumaru?!” She sprang from his embrace, stumbling out of the large bed. Realizing she was naked she squealed, quickly grabbing for a sheet, her cheeks blazing. “What the hell is going on?” Kagome angrily demanded, confused.

Sesshoumaru glared at her lifted himself to his elbows. “Don’t get the sheets dirty. Come back to bed.” He misunderstood her reaction.

Kagome backed away from him searching for a root of escape. “Where’s Inuyasha? What’s going on?” Tears brimmed in her eyes.

Sesshoumaru was quickly upon her vehemently tossing her back onto the bed, trapping her body beneath his own. “Shut your mouth!” He looked fiercely down at her. “I am in no mood for your games woman.” He was quick to part her thighs, entering her with a swiftness that left Kagome stunned for a second.

Screaming she shoved her palms against his chest doing her best to shove him away, her legs pushing themselves flat into the bed. “Don’t touch me! Get off! Inuyasha!!” She tossed her head back and screamed for him, hoping.

Sesshoumaru was stunned and withdrew from her, grabbing her roughly by her chin he turned her face up to his. His lips curled into a snarl at the dark blue orbs that stared at him, frightened. What happened to her? Did she regain her memory somehow? Flinging her from him, he stood hurriedly reaching for his armor. “Get dressed.”

Kagome fumbled with the ties of her kimono, her hands shaking as the nights events came flooding back to her. Knees gave out and she crumbled weakly to the ground. Inuyasha had left her… here? How could he be so cruel? She looked up at Sesshoumaru and shivered, the look in his eyes was enough to chill the blood in her veins. Kagome quickly stood, wrapping her arms around herself, her tongue heavy in her mouth.

Sesshoumaru led her to the study, observing her from over his desk. He eyed her hastily wrapped kimono in distaste. “Tell me everything you remember.” It was the best place to start. She had been close to having a heart attack when he touched her. Even now, just being in the same room as him, she looked like she wanted to run away.

Kagome struggled to put everything together, failing miserably. “I was with Inuyasha just last night.” She looked uncertain. “We had a fight. I betrayed him…”. Anger ate the fear that lingered inside her and she was quickly on her feet, pointing. “You lied to me! I trusted you!”

Sesshoumaru disliked the way she was pointing at him and growled at her open disrespect. “Sit down and shut up.” Just as he feared, she didn’t remember anything about him. Was this how the hanyou had felt? He scuffed at the thought. Pausing he remembered something from the night before. What was it she had said about the hanyou? He had hurt her… Put something inside her.

Sesshoumaru pushed from his chair, approaching her with a seeking determination. Had the hanyou implanted something inside her? Something to trigger these memories? He quickly caught her as she tried to flee, pinning her beneath him. “Don’t move, I’m not going to hurt you wench.” He ripped her kimono open, his hand sliding down to the scar on her hip. Cutting the flesh he sought for anything foreign, his fingers pulled away bloody and empty. Had it already been absorbed perhaps? Cursing Sesshoumaru pushed away from her, his claws clenching.

Kagome held her palm against the bleeding wound, horrified. Not going to hurt me? She stared down in disbelief. “Whats going on Sesshoumaru?” She built up the courage to finally ask. It was easy to sense his agitation, and he had seemed surprised at her reluctance to have sex with him. Just… what had she been doing with him before she regained her memory.

Memory… The face of the woman from the other night appeared in her mind. What did she do? Kagome remembered her saying something about giving her the nights to rest… and the days to get accustomed to her new being? “The oldest sister fate.” Kagome mumbled out loud.

Sesshoumaru quickly turned, his gaze cutting into her sharply. “What was that?”

Kagome shifted, covering herself. “Yochi… the oldest sister of fate. She came to me last night, apologized on behalf of her sister, and said she couldn’t restore to me as I had been, but only at night did she have the power to give me rest…”. Kagome shied away from the look he was giving her.

Sesshoumaru furrowed his brows, turning his back to her. What did the fates have to do with Kagome? Suddenly it clicked and he marveled in the revelation. He had read scrolls on the fates, they would often take something precious from you in return of granting you something sought. What had Kagome sought? He turned to eye her. To become a demon? He sneered at the thought. No.. To forget her memories? More probable. And what had they taken, her humanity? Interesting. But then, why had she remembered them at all? The hanyou knew the answers he was seeking. He had been the trigger, after all.

Kagome glared daggers at his back, her hatred growing as she regained comprehensive thought. This man had ruined her life, how she had dreamt of destroying him, hungered to feel his warm blood run empty. As if feeling her stare he turned to her, his eyes challenging.

“Do not stare at me so. You might not remember, but you belong to me. I will not follow these night and day rules to accommodate you, so get used to the idea and mind your tongue.” He smirked maliciously, swallowing her fearful eyes within his golden orbs.

Kagome blanched and pulled herself to her feet, doing her best to appear threatening. “I’ll stare at you however I like, I’d sooner die before belong to someone like you!”

Sesshoumaru dismissed her words with a wave of his hand. “You’re counter self is much more… obedient .” His eyes lit. “This Sesshoumaru will enjoy making day and night a reflection of itself.” Sesshoumaru moved toward her, gripping her chin between two clawed fingers. “Light creates shadows."

Kagome tore her chin free from his grip, twin red drops breaking free from her flesh. "I'm tired of being a coward." Her eyes were heated. "I'll hate you openly."

Sesshoumaru licked the blood from his fingers, his eyes captivating her in their hungry depths. He pinned her against the wall taking advantage of her bewilderment, pushing the full length of his body against hers. A slanted mouth brushed gently against hers, soothing. Slowly he gripped the base of her neck, and his lips smirked against hers. "This Sesshoumaru looks foward to it Miko." He taunted. Miko she was no longer.
