Mimicking Darkness
Chapter One
----------
Darkness. That's what started this and that is how it will end. To mimic the dark, is to mimic death. No matter how good you are at it, that's how it will always end; in death.
To understand the dark, is to live it, to breath it. To be the dark itself, nothing can give you an answer, but death could provide a hint. For all that it is worth, to be the darkness, you must come face to face, with death.

The moon was hidden behind the clouds that fateful night, the night that fate even dreaded. Silence loomed throughout the forest. Nothing moved, nothing made a sound. The only thing that could be heard was the soft thudding of feet. An echo of pants from a female sounded through the forest as she blindly ran from the danger that loomed behind her.
Red eyes watched as she ran, though she had already been beaten, they never showed. The eyes were waiting for the precise moment, the precise time in which she would be left open. But to wait in the dark, gave the eyes all the time in the world for that one precise moment. Now.
A shrill scream pierced through the forest as predator caught its prey. Red eyes glowed in delight as their prey squirmed and whimpered under their gaze.
The overwhelming need to relinquish its thirst was upon this poor girl. To relinquish the fact that it had won this battle to wane sanity. To relinquish that it would not fall into the darkness...
---
She was a sweet girl, whom which everyone loved. It wasn't the innocence that she possessed, nor was it the naivety which she so clearly showed. The love she held for all things that lived was not what had caused so many to love her so. They loved her for one, and one reason only.
She was the light enshrouded within the dark.
She had not come from a womb, she had no mother, nor had she a father. She was born from the dark, yet held onto the light. The light so many had tried to grasp, yet could not reach, being swallowed by the dark. But now...
Their light, was gone.
Taken. The only thing that so many had come to love was taken. Never would they see her smile, never would they hear her laugh, be hypnotized by her unearthly sapphire eyes. Now they would only mourn her memory, holding on to the fact that she was and still is, alive.
---
He watched as she slept. The peacefulness which she held as she slept. Nothing would take her from him, she was his light now. His light to hold, to relish, and maybe even, love. Yes. He would love her and have her love, her soul. He needed her, to fend off the dark that was always lurking near him. He needed her to need him, to give him the light that she so freely offered to anyone who would take it.
No. The light that she so freely offered him. Only him.
He watched her as she stirred, as if time had stopped. Her full lashes fluttering gently open. Her lush lips opening slightly. He watch as she sat up, as a waterfall of charcoal black hair lifted off the pillow to cascade down her back. He watched as her delicate hands came to rest upon her lap, as sapphire eyes scanned the room she was in, in curiosity and confusion. He watched as her head swiveled to look at him.
Fear.
He saw it, he smelt it, but worst of all, the feeling of heartbreak overwhelmed him. He reached forward to touch her, but she scurried to the other side of the bed she was occupying. He frowned, distaste clearly written in his eyes. But it quickly vanished as her soft, melodies voice reached his ears.
"Who... Who are you?"
Wonderment, fascination, curiosity. So many words could describe how she sounded, but to him, the voice of a siren had taken hold of his heart. He melted as she spoke again.
"Please... Tell me, who you are?"
He did not speak, he would not speak. For if he did, if he did tell her who he was, she would only show fear. He did not want her to fear him, only love him. Love him and fend off the dark. And never let it come back.
Her eyes stared in wonderment at him. Was he the creature that had captured her, or was he her savior that night. She did not know. She would never know. He would not speak to her, even as her eyes desperately pleaded for him to do so.
She watched him then. As he stood and left her there in the room she had woke up in, only giving her a glance at his departure. Who was he? So many questions filled her mind then.
Would she see him again? Would she hear him talk to her?
But she did hear him, but his eyes spoke. But her innocence could not read them. Maybe she was to naïve to understand them. She did not know, but for now she would wait, she would wait for him to come back...
---
He strolled through his castle. He was trying his hardest to not speak to her, he did not want her to fear him, to know who he was. He would wait, wait until she loved him for who he was. Then he would tell her.
He left her there, in his chambers. He could not speak to her, so he left, in hopes that he would stave off any and every little thought that came to mind for him to tell her. But leaving her there was so hard, but he had too. For now.
Now he would use his sheer will to fend the dark that was always present near him. Hiding from it, blocking it out. But he couldn't.
He turned back, headed to his chambers.
---
She sat there looking out of a window. Looking at nothing, when she heard the door open. She look back and saw him standing there, she said nothing, he would not speak to her. Instead she looked back out the window. Then, she heard him speak.
"Why? Why is it that you can stave off the dark yet I can not? Why is it that you can hold so many hearts yet I can not? Why... Why can you hold my heart, yet not fend off the dark in it?"
She didn't say anything, for she did not know the answer. She knew nothing of the dark, for being born within it yet holding the light, she did not know. She looked at him then. Confusion written on her face.
He sighed, she did not know. Why would she know, she was but a child, within the shell of a Goddess.
---
He had left her alone today. But the previous night still ran clearly within her head. She awoke hoping that it was a dream, but it was not.
She could still feel his hot breath in her neck. The way he held her, the brush of his lips. It was all so vivid within her mind. She shivered as she thought of him again...
'Sesshomaru...'
He feared that she would fear him if she knew who he was. She laughed when he told her this, for she had heard the rumors of him. She remembers his reaction clearly when she did laugh...
OoOoOoO
"I do not know what you speak of," She spoke to him in utter confusion. "What darkness, I see no darkness in your heart."
He growled then, she recoiled in fear. But he calmed down when she did this, not wanting her to fear him. He walked toward her, but she walked away from him, backing herself into a corner, eyes wide.
He stopped about two feet in front of her, eyes downcast, hidden behind bangs of white. "You, wanted to know who I was did you not." At her nod he continued, sighing, "My name is... Sesshomaru, Lord of the West, Ruler of the Dogs. I did not tell you this in fear that you would fear me. I was -"
He was cut short by her laughter. Laughter that made is heart clench with want and desire. He lifted his head then, to stare at the Goddess before him. He smiled.
OoOoOoO
She had wondered why he thought that she would fear him. He had been kind to her, why would she show fear to her savior.
---
He was pacing in his study, recalling the events of last night. The way she held him, the feel of her soft lips upon his own. Her soft indescribable scent. Everything that was her...
'Kagome...'
His light... He wondered if she would ever love him, ever need him, like he does her. He sighed as he recalled her laughter and the events that followed...
OoOoOoO
Her laughter was like a melody that could not leave your head. It struck a cord in him, he reached for her then.
"Why would I show fear towards my savior." She kept laughing.
She thought him her savior... He would not let her know the truth... He would nottell what happened that night... He was not her savior,she had been his prey...
Her laughter stopped as his arms snaked their way around her small frame. She whimpered in fear, his arms only tightened.
"Please, do not fear me," He spoke calmly to her in hopes to calm her down, "please..."
That's when he felt her small arms griped his torso, lite and delicate. It had worked. He buried his nose in her neck, breathing in her scent. He couldn't place it, but it sturck desire within.
She held him close to her, holding onto his warmth. She breathed in his heady scent... 'Like the forest after a storm..."
"What is your name?"
She only felt the hotness of his breath in her neck as he spoke. Still dazed slightly from his scent. Her knees went numb, as she managed a soft, huh. He said it again, she answered.
"My name is Kagome..."
"Kagome... Beautiful."
She went numb as she felt his lips flutter across her own. But it was enough to make her flush like mad. He smirked at this, and left.
She lost her balance, and fell to her knees. She felt cold, his warmth was no longer in reach, but his scent still lingered...
OoOoOoO
He groaned, just thinking of her fueled a raging fire within his loins. He would have her soon, but he would wait. Wait until he knew she loved him, but he could only wait until the next full moon...
