Chapter 1: Retrouvaille

Waking up the next morning in Sesshomaru’s arms, Kagome snuggled deeper into his embrace and fought back the tears that were trying to fall from her eyes. Closing her watery orbs, the demoness tried to figure out why she was so sad all of a sudden, last night had been a reuniting with her alpha that she had spent over five years avoiding. Shouldn’t she be happy that he managed to convince her to be with him? Holding in the tremors, she suddenly felt sick to her stomach and with a small cry ran from the bed and to the bathroom where she promptly threw up last night’s ceremonial feast. ‘I’m nervous…’

Rubbing her temples, Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt a pair of hands resting against her shoulders in a subconscious attempt to soothe her. “Koji are you alright?”

“I’m...fine Se...Anubis, I just felt sick is all.”

Feeling that she was lying Sesshomaru persisted with his inquiries. “Why?”

“I don’t know, I just woke up and felt sick okay?”

“Koji….if something is bothering you, you can tell me.”

“Nothing is bothering me,” Kagome repeated, getting defensive. She really didn’t want to risk hurting his feelings after what she had done with him. With everything she had been told about his past behavior, he was liable to take her doubts the wrong way and end up worse than ever. “I’ll...come back to bed in a second….just wait for me okay?” turning to face him, she held in a snort of amusement. Sesshomaru’s longer hair meant there was more to mess up at night and his bed head gave him the appearance of a frizzy poodle, not that he needed to know that now.

“What?”

“Ha...nothing.” she reassured him and pulling from his grip, waved him out of the bathroom so that she could brush her teeth and wash her face.

“Hn. If you're not back in five minutes I’m breaking down the door.”

“Deal.”

Nodding once in understanding, Sesshomaru turned and left the tiled room, closing the door behind him on the way out. Once she heard the creak of wood that signaled he had returned to bed, Kagome hurried to the door and locked it in case he came back in and saw her do what she was about to do. Nearly collapsing in front of the bathroom entryway, Kagome openly let the tears fall, the salty mixture managing to reach her lips which she absently lapped up with her slippery tongue. Why was she being so difficult? In the back of her mind, she had always known that this would happen eventually, she had just never expected it on the first night of the event. Keeping in her sobs as her heart tore in two different directions, the demoness wallowed in her silent torment, unaware of the dog demon on the other side of the door who was completely receptive to what she was doing and quietly trying to figure out a way to ease her pain.

Arching her back, pleasure swept through Kagome’s body as she released once more in Sesshomaru’s hold. Through a sweaty gaze, she glanced over at the digital clock on the nightstand and gasped when she saw it was nearly six in the morning. He would have to leave soon. Whimpering while he continued to bury himself in and out of her dripping womanhood, she tried and failed several times to tell him to speed up his orgasm. Feeling him shift the angle of his thrusts, Kagome tightened her own inner muscles, knowing it brought him the most pleasure. Burying his face in her neck again, the demon held in a grunt of pleasure. He was close. When he finally came the demon pushed deeper into her wanting body, making her gasp when she felt what could only be described as a swelling of his penis inside her, making it impossible for him to exit her body. Pulling her up to straddle his waist, he moved her hair to the side and began to lick affectionately at her neck that had once contained their connecting imprint.

Realizing what he was about to do, she hastily tried to stop his actions. “Anubis, no,” she gasped out. Her voice hoarse, she replaced her blue-black tresses, concealing her neck to keep the temptation away, he tended to get excited when she followed his orders she knew.

“Why not,” he growled out heatedly, “You are still mine and I want them to know it.”

“Sesshomaru, you can’t mark me!” she repeated in a whisper, “I still have to accompany Jun-Long for the rest of the gathering, he would see it, he would smell it, I can’t…”

“Jun-Long,” he snorted in annoyance, “You still behave as though we have done nothing,” she refused to meet his eyes making him growl again for her to look at him. “You do not have to join him any longer, you are back with me now,”

“Anubis….I made a promise and I need to honor it.”

“You also promised you would remain with me yet that did not stop you from fleeing the country.”

“Anubis, that isn’t fair,” slipping free of his knot, Kagome removed him from her weeping womb, ignoring the mixture of their fluids that trailed down her legs and onto the bed below. “You know I had no choice,”

“You always have a choice Koji,” giving her a deadpan look, Sesshomaru examined her face fully from her pouting lips to her wavering eyes.

“Sesshomaru, I’m not trying to dismiss your words but you have to get back to your room soon, I have to get up in an hour and so do you.” trying to get up, the demon held her by the waist, preventing her from leaving his lap. “Anubis, let me up.”

“Hn. You will return to me tonight?” he asked with a blank expression, his fingers idly rubbing her nipples, already sore from his repeated suckling.

Shivering at his ministrations, Kagome mutely nodded in understanding, crying out softly when he began to pinch the sensitive nubs. “Sess….ah….okay.”

“You will come to my room tonight?”

“Yessss,” she moaned out.

“And stay the entire night, without complaint?” trailing a finger down the center of her body, he found her clit hidden within her nest of curls and lightly teased the slippery bundle of nerves.

“I...Sess,” she wrapped her hands around his neck and buried her head in his shoulder.

“Well?”

“Okay! Okay just leave!” she finally said. “I promise I'll come tonight,”

“Very well then.” gently prying her away from him, Sesshomaru abruptly stood from the bed and began to redress himself with the scattered clothing all over the floor. He was buttoning up the last few buttons on his shirt when he turned to gaze at Kagome who meanwhile had wrapped herself up in the sheets. “If you're not in my room by the time the sun sets, I’ll come back.” though there was a teasing tone in his voice, a seriousness was in his eyes, telling her that he wasn't joking around right now.

“Okay….I love you….”

“Hn. And I you,” he replied. Smirking, he grabbed his jacket and slipped out through the water terrace balcony way, making Kagome sit up in surprise. The wooden terraces weren’t connected and the lake was, at least, four feet deep.

“How? Woah…” Watching as Sesshomaru climbed up onto the railing, her eyes widened at seeing the purple cloud that appeared around his ankles, carrying him off with it when it began to float away. Mesmerized, Kagome shook her head a few times to clear her mind, out of all the things she could say at this moment, the only thing that ran through her mind were the famous words of Wendy in Peter Pan. “He can fly?”
