Wishful Desires

The final chapter in an angsty fic... though it isn't real angsty anymore. Oh well. Just read the ending and tell me whether or not you like it!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Chaos reigned supreme when the three vampires finally woke. Sounds of screaming and the smell of blood brought them to a dead run to see to the matter. Kagome tugged at Shido's arm until he looked at her. The look of fear on her face stopped him from pushing her away.

As her second parental figure, it was his job to keep her safe while her sire was out. She belonged to Cain until she had learned all that was necessary for survival. Shido hesitated only a moment, but it was enough for a body to come crashing into them.

He turned into time to send Kagome flying into the bed chamber before the body of the master Kagome was supposed to stay with the night before. Kagome ran back to Shido's side, helping him move the body. Shido screamed and fell, pushing Kagome once again as he raced for the door. Kagome followed but had soon lost him in the mass of screaming, terrified bodies.

Kagome panicked. Both of her saviors were out of sight and smelling range. The chaste master from the night previous caught hold of her hand and dragged Kagome into a side room. She let him lead her, too young yet to comprehend the true danger the court was in. She cuddled as close as she could to the older creature as they ran, fear making her stumble. When they reached his rooms, an uproar of running feet blocked her senses. "Come quickly." The other said, and the girl complied easily. He led to her a back room filled with other young vampire like herself. Masters were comforting the fledglings to keep their fears at bay.

The master turned and led her to a corner of the room unoccupied by anyone. "Stay here." He said softly. "I have to return for the other fledglings." She cried out for him to wait and he smiled sympathetically. "You're sire left you behind?" He asked softly. "It is his court." He whispered, tears flowing from her gossamer eyes.

Dark hair gleamed in the candlelight as the other stroked her hair until she calmed. "Who are you?" She asked curiously, small hiccups escaping her still. "You may call me Elizar." He said softly. She gave him a weak smile and Elizar left, motioning for other fledglings to keep her company.

Kagome took the small comfort offered, wishing that she knew where Sesshoumaru was. She always felt safe when he was around... as long as he wasn't angry...

Shido remotely realized that he had left his mate's childe behind, but the pain was too intense for it to matter. Cain was dying. The green eyed creature stopped dead in his tracks at the sight that came before him. Sesshoumaru stood in all his demonic glory before the pedestal that held Cain's throne.

Vampire littered the floor, and it was painfully obvious from the blood on those massive claws that it was the taiyoukai himself who had destroyed them. Blood-red eyes turned toward the violet haired creature, pausing as he had two nights before to simply gaze at the perfection before him. The moment was short lived, however, when the enraged demon scented Kagome on the vampire before him. He bent his head and growled, the rich sound reverberating off the walls. Shido gasped and ducked under the massive paw as it slashed at him.

Shido found the wounded form of his mate and was immediately at his side. Cain was struggling to stand against the better judgment of the creatures still alive around him. "He has gone mad!" Someone cried, pointing beyond Shido's range of sight. The younger vampire turned in time to be thrown backwards into a hard stone wall. His vision wavered and he was aware of fangs coming down on his head before he blacked out.

The youkai reared when Cain's sword pierced his side, ripping through the bones. Cain was thrown into the fleeing vampire, barely registering the form of Elizar leading them away. At he last, the older vampire turned and ran back to the court leader, ready to fight.

Sesshoumaru turned and attacked, but he was no match for the speed of the other. Elizar lashed out with his whip, effectively knocking the inu to the ground. Sesshoumaru stood and charged, his teeth dripping with poison. A bright pink light filled the room, as it had done countless times during the fight with Cain, but the youkai ignored it.

He had been unable to kill either Cain or Shido, simply because of a wish on a jewel, but he wasn't about to let this one get away.

Kagome's scent was strong on the dark haired one, as though he had just been with her. Pure rage blinded the taiyoukai and he fell to the attack of the other. Cain managed to stand then, and the two bound the youkai in the blood of their whips.

Cain immediately ran to Shido's side, sighing in relief to find him simply unconscious. Elizar spoke up then. "What caused the rage in this youkai?" He inquired. Cain turned and glared at the struggling creature, fury in his eyes. "He wants to destroy my court!" The master snarled. Elizar stepped back and bowed respectively.

"Beg pardon, my Lord, but I have an ulterior reason." Cain turned to look at his general, only now realizing the truth in the statement. Golden hair bobbed as Cain nodded for the other to continue. "I believe that he was attacking and killing all those whom your newest fledgling bedded with."

Cain hissed in anger. All this for Kagome. Over half of his court was decimated simply because they had either fought back or smelled of Kagome. A cord struck in him. "Where is the girl?" He asked sharply. Elizar bowed again. "She is with the other fledgling, kept safe with the younger masters." Cain took that in before marching from the room.

Elizar took one look at the look on his face before following after. "You mean to kill her?" He asked, surprise in his voice. "She has caused us too many problems."

"I beg you to reconsider. It was not her fault the youkai took it upon himself to destroy the court." Cain hissed in anger. "She cannot stay here."

Elizar looked thoughtful. "I will take her away." He said at last. Cain stopped. "What?" He asked softly, dangerously. "I will take her from here, raise her elsewhere. It has been too long since last I had a fledgling to care for." Cain growled. A sire never liked to have another raise there children, but even he had to admit he had no choice. The youkai would continue to kill unless the girl was removed.

With a sigh the master nodded, and Elizar left to retrieve his new childe.

Kagome looked up in fear every time the door opened. She still had no idea what had caused the problem, but the smell of blood still hung heavy. When Elizar returned she was relieved. His was a face she recognized. "Is everything alright now?" She asked. Several others turned their way to hear the answer.

"All is peaceful again, though our numbers have dwindled greatly." Kagome felt a jolt of fear course through her. The other let his hand caress her hair and she calmed considerably. "Come, youngling. We must leave here." Kagome looked confused. "But, what about Shido, and Cain? What about Sesshoumaru?" He voice rose with her urgency.

Elizar kissed her softly on the forehead and ran soothing hands across her back. "All is well, Kagome." He said. She looked at him then, confusion in her eyes. "How do you know my name?" He laughed. "I know many things, as you will learn. Now come." He stood and she followed, though in the back of her mind she knew something wasn't right.

He led her to the main room, where Cain sat nursing Shido's wounds. When she made to go to them, Elizar stopped her, leading her instead to the youkai that lay struggling on the floor. His eyes rolled with his insane anger, and Kagome was instantly by his side. She ran her hand through his soft fur and cried. He had caused the deaths of so many.

She let her tears fall until there were no more.

It seemed to take hours before the taiyoukai turned back to his humanoid form.

Kagome hugged him, relaxing when his arms came about her. He nuzzled her cheek and stood, growling at Elizar. He could smell her on him. She had bedded this creature the night before. He paused, however, when her scent intensified as her sadness grew.

Kagome shifted to look up at him. "No more." She pleaded. "Please don't kill them anymore." Sesshoumaru kissed her gently, guiding her further into his arms. When he was satisfied that she was calm again, he turned to glare at the vampire before him.

Kagome turned with him, staring expectantly at the older creature. She turned to look at Cain, and frowned when he waved a hand in dismissal. He was getting rid of her. Fear came and with it came Elizar's soothing words. "Come along. We must be away from here by sunrise." Sesshoumaru was taken aback, though you could have seen it better in a rock.

Kagome shifted uncertainly, following only when it was apparent that Cain was not taking her back. Kagome let Sesshoumaru carry her, content to have at least one person she knew well at her side. His claws dug into her possessively, and she sighed with the pleasure that small ounce of pain caused.

By sunrise the three were far from Can's court, resting for the day in a far off inn. Kagome snuggled up to Sesshoumaru, who allowed the male vampire to share the bed with them. He growled whenever Elizar shifted too close, however.

Night came and they traveled again, and by sunrise they had found an abandoned mansion. It was far enough away to be well put of Cain's territory, but close enough that food was easily accessible.

Kagome slept in a room of her own that night, using her senses to keep track of where her new sire was all day. He had gone to the town and brought back new furniture. When night came again, Kagome found the two arguing in the parlor. She wondered at it, but was more worried about the small burns covering Elizar's skin. His clock hadn't completely protected him that day.

While the two continued to argue, Kagome found bandages and began to wrap Elizar's wounds. The arguing paused for only a moment before continuing anew.

Finally Kagome stood and let her own anger rush over her. "Just stop it! If you can't get along then shut up! I don't want to hear it!" The two stopped at her outburst, glaring heatedly at each other. "Stop it!" Kagome shouted.

They looked to her, both pondering her demand before turning away. "Thank you." She said sharply. "Now, if we have to live together, we have to get the fuck along. Got it?" This brought her two stunned stares before she received a grunt and a nod in answer. "Good." The girl said.

She plopped down before Elizar. "What do I have to learn?" She asked.

70 years later...

Kagome nuzzled closer to her mate, relishing in the feel of silky hair against her face. The other chuckled and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her up to capture her lips in a possessive kiss. She sighed and settled herself against him, pressing her hips up to show him what she wanted.

He purred and pushed her back, lifting her nightdress and plunging inside her without further hesitation. She gasped and moaned, rocking against him slowly. The dance increased its pace, and soon the two were locked tightly in each other's embrace, crying out for the world to hear.

Both lay panting, listening to the soft sounds of the fireplace and the heavy breathing of the other.

Footsteps echoed down the hall before the other they shared the castle with rounded the corner. A slight frown graced his features. "Why do you insist on using the library for your affair?" He scoffed. "I like to read, but not with you two soiling the peace." Kagome laughed softly, a faint blush covering her cheeks.

Her mate growled in irritation before pulling out of her, covering her with the nightdress as he moved. She moaned softly and couldn't help the sigh that escaped her parted lips at the look of lust on Elizar's face. Sesshoumaru stood up and moved away from his mate, pushing the vampire back out into the hallway.

"You did not have to come to the library today." He snarled. Elizar laughed and pushed the youkai back. "Yeah, well you don't have to bed her every chance you get." A small smirk played over the youkai's mouth. "Perhaps, then, I should bed you?" He inquired.

Kagome burst out laughing at the look on Elizar's face. It was a mixture between horror and interest.

Sesshoumaru growled playfully and pounced catching the vampire off guard. Soft, irritated moans and nearly whispered growls followed before Sesshoumaru returned to the arms of his mate. Elizar was disgruntled. "You didn't have to do that." He complained.

The vampire grumpily stomped off to his room to sate his arousal. The youkai had an odd way of making even the most homophobic creature hard for him.

Later that evening, after the vampire had fed and returned, the three sat together to watch the stars pass by overhead.

"I'm glad that the well sent me here." Kagome said at last. "If it hadn't, I never would have gained such a pretty mate," she licked Sesshoumaru's cheek slyly, "nor would I have gained such a treasured friend." Sesshoumaru growled lightly when it appeared she would lick her friend as well. She simply laughed and nuzzled Elizar's shoulder.

The vampire laughed, using his speed to pin her down and tickle her senseless. Kagome screamed in mock fear and cried out for her mate to come to her aid. The youkai simply sat and watched from afar, laughing slightly as she died' under the talons of their friend.

He had to move, however, when the two turned on him and began trying to tickle him. This game continued until the sun forced them to go inside to rest for the day...

Oh, when you kiss me
I know you miss me
And when you're with me
The world just goes away
The way you hold me
The way you show me
That you adore me
Oh, when you kiss me

---Owari!
