Opposites Attract

A/N: Sesshoumaru will have his abilities from the Anime as well as the Manga. Kirara humanoid abilities I will make up as I go along. Please review and let me know if I made any mistakes, but please no flames.

Warning: Manga and Anime spoilers ahead.

Summary: A certain Inu youkai Lord goes into heat and comes upon the heat scent of a certain Kaki (fire) Neko (cat). And a fiery passion ignites between the two.


Chapter 8: Kirrara confusion…what the hell happened.

It was a new day in feudal Japan. The sun was just picking over the horizon as the new mated couple rested in the cave. After experiencing nothing but pure sexual pleasure for most of the night, the one youkais’ started to stir after only three hours of rest.

Two tired silver eyes slowly cracked open as she sniffed her surroundings lightly. The scent of Sesshoumaru and sex hit her nose and her eyes immediately shot open. She remembered that not only did she have incredible sex with the Inu, but they mated as well which wasn’t part of the original deal.

‘Oh no, how could I do something so stupid…I know my first mate wanted me to find another, but this is way too fast. We were suppose to court first after the mating season before we made things official…or at least spend the entire mating season together before we permanently bonded. Hell we weren’t supposes to mate at all! That wasn’t in our agreement. He is going to be pissed when he wakes up…He only wanted release not a life mate…Wait it was HIS fault to, he bite me first. He was the one with more experience. He is the one always in control, what came over him. What the HELL happened.’

She thought rambling inwardly as she stayed still as a statue while she laid on her side. Listening to his breathing she discovered that he was still asleep. His slow breaths and the sounds he was making assured her that he was still in dreamland. The sounds he was making sounded like the cross between a very light snore and a contented growl.

Her mind was all over the place as it jumped from her present situation to the sounds rumbling in his chest.

‘Ha so mister ‘I am better than everyone’ sores. That sooooo cute!!! I have to find a way to tease him about it later. WAIT what am I saying, even though he marked me first, he is going to find a way to blame me. Then I am one dead feline. I have got to get out of here and get back to Inuyasha village.’ She thought as her mind babbled again.

Both mates were lying on their sides on Sesshoumarus’ long thick tail. As she looked down towards her feet, she saw the end of Sesshoumarus’ tail swishing back and forth lazily. Another little habit he seems to have she finds cute. When the tail swished again it brushed lightly against her feet causing her to almost giggle, but she used her left hand to cover her mouth. She didn’t want to wake him; she had to make her escape. Although in the back of her mind she hoped that she would be able to walk after those rounds with the Inu last night. She was tired and sore all over, but self preservation was all the motivation she needed to attempt to flee.

However the motion of her arm to silence herself caused a strong arm to tighten around her midsection.

‘Dammit, did I wake him up? Crap he’s going to crush me!!!’ She thought fighting to catch her breathe. She let her body go limp and his grasp relaxed. She listened to his breathing again and determined that he was still asleep. She gently eased the heavily muscled arm off her waist avoiding the sensitive strips on his wrist. Successful she got on her hands and knees to crawl away.

One golden eye opened and uncharacteristic feral grin crept across his face. Being the aristocratic assassin that he is, he had many skills. One of which is the ability to slow his heart rate to trick his prey into thinking that his guard is down. Many dishonorable creatures will try to strike him down in his sleep. This method would allow him to get the jump on them. He rarely used this method, the only time he did use it was for amusement.

He woke up an hour before Kirara did. The whole time he watched her and lightly brushed his hands across her most private areas as she slept. When he sensed her awaking he pretended to be asleep, so he could see what she would do next. Sesshoumaru smelled the scent of fear radiating off her body. Not sensing any threat in the area, he figured that she must be scared of him. Wanting to see what she would do next he pretended to be asleep. Sesshoumaru did have a sense of humor, thought it was a sadistic sometimes. He surprised himself at his playful behavior, but he ignored it and decided to have a little fun. After all his beast chose her for a reason. Him and his beast had the same taste in woman. Kirara would make a perfect mate, but his logical side saw a problem with that, she couldn’t have pups. It didn’t matter though, after pondering his situation for a while, he decided that problem will be rectified. He will do everything in his power to see to that.

‘But she will be able to soon enough.’

He grinned increased showing his fangs as he watched her crawl away. She moved with a natural grace of a jungle cat. He was enjoying the view as he saw her ass cheek grove up and down as she crawled.

‘Hmmm now where does my tempting little morsel thinks she’s going?’

He thought. As he felt blood rush to his lower regions. He hadn’t explored THAT part of her anatomy and he was getting aroused just thinking about it.

‘Okay, now that I am far enough away lets see if I can fly in this form.’ She thought. Still sore, she tensed the muscles to take flight. Orange flames spring to life around her feet, therefore she would be able to fly. But before she could take off that damn fluffy anaconda of a tail wrapped around her waist and pulled her back to Sesshoumaru.

She squealed as she was yanked back toward him. In midair she was turned sideways. Her back crashed into his broad chest as he pulled her back to the spot she was laying in.

“Get off of me!” She shouted as she turned around and punched him in the face. She was fighting him out of fear. Growling in irritation he grabbed both her wrist in a firm grip. He liked it rough, but he didn’t like to be hit in the face, that was just rude.

“Stop this ridiculous behavior and be still.” He said in a low tone.

“No!” She said as she struggled. The skin on her arms turned red as her youkai powers came forth. He inwardly winced because of the hot heat coming from her skin. He already knew what one of her powers in her humanoid form would be. Her whole body felt like it was lighting up like a roman candle.

“Tell me why you did it, why did you mark me. Why did I mark you, what the hell happened. Are you going to blame me for the situation we are in now? What are you going to do kill me, this is your fault you know, let go of-“

“Hush Firefly I will tell you all that you need to know in due time. Now cease this attack on my person.”

He said in an eerily calm voice. She was boiling hot and it wasn’t from any of the poison, it was from her powers. You would think that he would push her away, but instead he pulled her towards him. He turned her around and pressed her back against her chest. Then he pressed his large erection against her lower back. She stopped struggling and cooled off, only to have another type of heat consume her body. She blushed as she thought:

‘He’s ready for that again, old horny dog?! I’m too sore for that no?!.’ Her mind said, however her body was betraying her mind. Even in all of her pain, she was craving his touch.

Then he spoke which interrupted her thoughts:

“I marked you because I want you. You copied my action for the same reason.”

“But-“

“Quiet, you want to know why and I am telling you. Do not interrupt this Sesshoumaru again.” He said in his usual blunt fashion.

Kirara felt like punching him again, but kept quiet as she pouted. Then he continued.

“This Sesshoumaru did not intend to mark, you but his beast saw you as an excellent mate. My instincts took over and I marked you a mine. With most youkai, males will initiate the marking process. After my beast came forth, yours responded and marked me as well. If for some reason you rejected me completely, your beast would not have appeared.” He said as he begun to stroke her hair.

“So your beast saw something in me that it liked, took over, marked me, and I did the same for the same reasons.” She said with a confused look on her face.

“Yes.” He said simply as his hand started to travel down her cheek, neck and collar bone. She started to make that lovely purring sound, a sound that made him even harder then before. How could he have so much pent up sexual tension and behave so calmly now is anyone’s guess. It is possible that his beast is content with having her at his side.

His left hand continued to stroke her neck, shoulder, collar bone and side, his right arm wrapped around her waist, under the side of her body. It looped around her toned waist and his right hand was lightly rubbing soothing circles on her stomach. Finding himself longing for the day she will carry his heirs. For some reason her stomach felt warmer then the rest of her body. For a split second he felt her stomach warm up even more before it subsided. He made note of the energy as he thought.

‘Perhaps she is already healing…that’s why I felt Tensaiga’s aura.’ The Tensaiga was know for giving life back and purifying souls, maybe it giving Sesshoumaru a chance to produce life with his eternal mate. He smiled genuinely sure of his reasoning, but he decided not to tell Kirara, not yet.

She relaxed completely under his skilled hands. His right hand brushed lightly against the curls of her womanhood once in a while, and then it would return to her abdomen. She had to struggle focus as she found womanhood were becoming wetter by the second.

“What about you, your rational mind, why would you want me when you know I can’t give you any heirs?” She asked with sadness in her voice even though her body was really, really acting totally different from the way she was feeling. She was shivering in delight.

“This Sesshoumaru has contemplated that question and has found that you have many of the attributes I require in a mate.”

“What qualities do I have, I’m not even royalty what do you see in me?” She question trying to get a straight answer out of him.

“Firefly you are kind, brave, strong, loyal and beautiful. All the females of the court lack those attractive traits.”


Kirara smiled as she turned in his grip to give him a genuine hug of appreciation for his words. She knew he was telling the truth because his heartbeat was even and his scent didn’t change, which would have indicated a lie.

“Thank you for your kind words and I am sorry about earlier. I was afraid that you would reject me…especially since I am barren.” She said in a cute purring voice, which Sesshoumaru loved.

“Nonsense, why would I reject the one that this Sesshoumaru has chosen, it would be preposterous. And your thanks is not needed, I merely speak the truth.” Then almost as an afterthought he said:

“Do not ask questions to which you already know the answers.”

“Eh.” Was all Kirrara said as she wondered what the hell he was talking about. She couldn’t concentrate with his hands all over the place. It was like he had four of them.

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes he said:

“What did I tell you about the current condition of your reproductive organs?” She thought for a minute and said:

“Oh! You said once I heal emotionally my womb could heal.”

“Precisely.”

“What if I don’t heal?”

“You will heal, I have spoken.” Kirara pouted a bit and thought:

‘What makes him think that it will happen just because he said so…talk about conceited.’ But she didn’t know that he was stating the facts. At the same time he was thinking.

‘You are recovering as we lay here.’

“We don’t love each other.” She said in a matter a fact tone.

“No, however we are comfortable in each other presence. Our fondness of each other will grow.” He stated as she laid her head on his shoulder and his hands slowly crept toward her rear.

“I think I could fall in love with you. A-and I think you could fall in love with me too.” She said bluntly.

“Why do you say that?” He asked as his hand moved lower.

“Because I have experience love before and I believe I can again. As for you, well you try to hide you emotions, but I can see that you have a kind heart through your actions.”

His hand stopped for a second then resumed its course. Sounding a bit aggravated he said in a low tone.

“What do you mean by that?” He was Sesshoumaru he cared for no one, at least that’s what he wanted everyone to think.

“Oh, like you don’t know. You adopted a human girl as your pup when you wanted everyone to think that you cared for no one. You acted like humans were beneath you, yet you took her in and protected her. You took Kohaku under your protection as well, even after he attacked you and Rin. You have save Inuyasha and the rest of us multiple times even though you acted like you hated him and the humans. In fact, you risked your life to help us when you could have forgotten about us and attacked Magsuhai. So as I stated your actions expose you for the youkai you really are. Even though you may never say it I will know when you fall in love with me from your actions.”


She said this with certainty. This was weird considering the fact that a few moments ago she was trying to escape him to avoid his wrath. Now she is telling him things she knows he doesn’t want to hear. Maybe all of his caresses are getting to her, like too much sake could affect a novice drinker. People who get drunk tend to say what’s on there mind. Sesshoumaru scoffed and said:

“Tch, this Sesshoumaru reasons for the actions you speak of. They are not because this Sesshoumaru has a ‘kind heart’. He said that last two words with loathing. How was he supposed to be a feared warrior youkai if his enemies believe him kind? Besides, he did a lot of nasty things to them to, but he didn’t feel like bringing them up to counter her claim. Nor did he feel like thinking about all of the times Inuyasha risked his life to help him, despite how badly he treated him. And anyway he didn’t need his help at those times, or so he told himself. The only thing he felt like doing was silencing her and going another round. But his curiosity got the better of him and he said:

“What make you so sure that I will fall in love with you?”

“Because I saw how much you cared about Kagura.”

“…” Sesshoumaru said nothing stopping his movements down her back. As she continued to speak she looked in his molten golden eyes with bright silver orbs. She took her right hand and rubbed his cheek back and forth warmly. He looked at her with an intense gaze as they lay on their sides facing each other. Then she spoke:

“You attacked Narakus’ heart with such force, that it broke his unbreakable armor. The way he taunted Kagura after her death infuriated you more then you wanted anyone to know. That anger came from hurt and compassion you felt for her. I don’t know if you loved her or not, but I do know you cared for her a great deal. You helped me realize that my mate wanted me to be happy with or without him. I think Kagura would want the same for you.”

Sesshoumaru was taken aback by her bold lecture. Yes, he did care for Kagura a lot, but Naraku took her away before his affection could grow. And he does care for Rin like his own pup; he even cared about the well being of his idiot brother and THE pack. He felt a pang in his chest as he thought about everything he said. Dammit, caring for others just made things more complicated. Then Sesshoumaru thought.

‘Protecting other does prove troublesome. Nonetheless, this Sesshoumaru never turns his back on any challenge.’ With a calm voice he spoke.

“Kagura was an alley, like the rest of the pack. Rin is my responsibility. Of course I was annoyed with her death that was a victory this Sesshoumaru wished to deny the spider. Nevertheless I have never loved anyone, but we will test your theory and see if I ‘fall in love’ with you.”

“I think you have loved before, but for some reason you were cut off from your emotions. Now that you have them back, you have a hard time understanding them. Either that or you just so use to being cold and aloof that your emotions…irritate you.

‘Or something happened to you that made you afraid to show your true feelings.’ Kirara looked at him with such warmth and compassion. She thought to herself. She didn’t want to say it out loud and hurt his pride. Enough was conveyed through her pervious statements.

“This Sesshoumaru is cold because his status requires it. Royalty should not show emotions, it is a weakness that can be used against me”. Now enough with your lecture, we shall bathed, I wish to explore other areas of your flesh. Kirara noticed that he said it was ‘required of his status’ not something he wanted to do. He interrupted her thoughts as his hands finally made their way to her rear end grabbing each cheek and giving it a tight squeeze.


“Ah!” She said in shock. She guessed what that gesture meant and she didn’t think she liked it. She is still hurting.

‘Man who knew Sesshoumaru could be such a hentai.’ She thought.

“Wait!” She said trying to stall, she was still sore, plus she didn’t like the idea of her whole body being submerged in water. She feared it, after all she is a cat and her powers derived from fire. She didn’t remember Kohaku soaking her earlier. Nor did she remember that it did not affect her powers in the least.

“No.”

“But I am tired and you should be, why don’t you go back to sleep?” She asked as she pushed against his chest trying to get out of his arms. She didn’t like to be youkaihandled unless she gave the okay. And she didn’t give the go ahead…yet.

“I am not tired, why do you wish for me to go to sleep.” He said as they reached the stream. Since demanding him to do something wouldn’t work she would tell him a half truth.

“Because you do the cutest things when you are asleep, like snoring and growling at the same time. A-and you wag your tail like a little puppy.” She said in a teasing matter. She figured that a statement like this would piss him off and help him get out of ‘the mood.’ But she got a different reaction then she was hoping for.

‘Humph, she thinks I will be upset by her taunting…my Firefly, you are in for a rude awaking.’

He smirked at her and her and being the expressive person she is she blurted out.

“What the hell is that smirk for! What are you up to?!” She yelled as she renewed her struggle to gain freedom. You would think that the Inu would be more expressive and the Neko would be aloof, but with these two that was not the case.

Then she heard a low deep chuckle rumble in his chest and widen her silver eyes at him.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk my Firefly, you are full of wisdom, yet you are so gullible. What a paradox you are.” He chuckled again as she yowled in frustration.

“What the hell are you talking about?!” She screeched.

“The whole time you believe me sleep, this Sesshoumaru was alert and aware of all your actions this morning.”

Kirara gasped and then she went exploded. Her eyes flared orange with anger and her body grew hot again as she said.

“You rotten patronizing jackass!!! Why would you trick me like that? I know you smelled my fear yet you said nothing to elevate my fear of being killed by you because you didn’t want me as a mate. What the hell is wrong with you?!!!” She said as she tried to beat the hell out of him, completely forgetting about fear. He replied calmly as if she wasn’t hitting him. Smirking he said.

“I was curious to see how you would react.” He said as he held her tightly to his body restricting her movement. Kirara roared in fury, sounding like a jungle cat.

“Feisty one aren’t you, This Sesshoumaru believes that it is time for you to cool off.” With that said he threw her in the water as if she weighed nothing.

“MeoWWWWW!!!” Was screamed as she headed towards the water.

Chucking he said:

“You are with me now; there is no need to fear this Sesshoumaru or a mere stream.” He said knowing that cats hated and feared water. He figured if he irritated her enough, she would be too furious to be afraid. That’s how he knew she was trying to anger him earlier; he was attempting to do the same to her.

She came up sputtering and screamed ‘ASSHOLE.’

“Watch your tongue Firefly, if this Sesshoumaru remains you again, you will be punished.” He stated as if he was reproaching a child.

“Kiss my ass you prick!” She blurted out. She saw him narrow his eyes then she gasped as she thought:

‘Oh shit, I’m screwed. Dammit Inuyasha this is your fault, I picked this shit up from him.’

“You had your warning…” Was all he said as he approached the stream with a menacing look. Inwardly he was laughing.

‘This Sesshoumaru will do more with your ass then just kiss it. Indeed, this will be most amusing.’ He thought as he jumped gracefully into the water. He intended on showing her how much fun the couple could have in the water. Adult content fun…

A/N: Surprising how Sesshoumaru lets Kirara talk to him like that. Just like he did with Kagura, which means he must really like her. Anyway next chapter, lemon in the stream.
