Kidnapped
Sesshomaru stood on the sidelines of the battlefield, fidgeting inside himself. They had done it, they had defeated Naraku once and for all. The only problem now was that he had fallen for his half brother's woman. The young miko from another time. She was beautiful, she was strong and she was intelligent--if not lacking a bit in the common sense department.
All of this he had found out in the course of the two years he had traveled with Inuyasha and his little band of friends. She had asked for his help, the petite young woman in the strange, and rather skimpy, outfit. She knew that they wouldn't be able to defeat Naraku if they were divided. The coniving little wench had begged, pleaded and used every tactic in the book to get him to join their little group. She even used the 'befriend the ward' technique.
Whenever the two parties were close enough, the raven haired girl would always use the excuse of her kit playing with Rin to visit. When it soon became clear the two were near inseperable, the Taiyoukai had only two options: make the little girl he cared so much for mad at him by denying her her play buddy or he could sucumb to her wishes and join his brother's rag tag group. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that having Rin mad at you was no fun at all.
The child would sit and stare at the fire all evening, not saying a word to anybody. Sesshomaru, although he would not admit it, missed the sounds of her and Jaken squabbling, he missed her laughter, most of all, though, he missed the young woman who brought the kit. He himself resorted to a little underhandedness at one point in a desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable.
In the middle of the night, he had snuck upon the hanyou's camp and silently snatched the girl and her kit before promptly returning to his own camp. Needless to say, this had not worked out so well.
Inuyasha had blown up the next morning and went on a rampage. He just knew that it had been his despicable older brother who had done this. When he finally found the two missing members, they were indeed in Sesshomaru's camp. Now, it was war.
The two brothers traded blows for what seemed like an eternity before the priestess finally worked up the nerve to 'sit' Inuyasha, much to Sesshomaru's pleasure of course.
The Taiyoukai had seen the end, though, he knew he would have to join Inuyasha or suffer the consequences from Rin. That was Not. Funny. Talk about mud slinging, literally! A ten year old girl in a temper tantrum is not funny.
Now, though, standing on the sidelines and watching Inuyasha hold the jewel as if contemplating what he would wish for, Sesshomaru could not remember the girl's name for the life of him!
He stood there thinking. Kia, Jia, Mair, Kari, Kasy, Kikyou...nope that's definitely not it. Um...
His thoughts were turned outward once more, though, when he heard Inuyasha begin his wish.
"I wish....I wish that Kikyou would be able to live again without Kagome's soul inside of her." The entire group gasped at this statement. Everyone, that is, except the young priestess.
She merely looked at the worthless hanyou with heartbroken eyes, silently asking why.
Sesshomaru saw his oppurtunity and siezed it. He quickly transformed and stormed to the center of the field were the girl stood, tears now rolling down her face as he watched Inuyasha's wish come true.
Lowering his massive head, he gently picked up the girl in his massive canine jaws, craning his head to set her on the edge of his back and gently nosing her into the hollow between his shoulder blades.
"Sesshomaru, what are you doing?" she yelled, promptly grabbing onto his fur as he took off.
"Sesshomaru you bastard!" Inuyasha yelled, "Bring Kagome back here right now!"
Thank you, little brother. Now I know her name.
Several hours later, Sesshomaru set down in a large clearing on the edge of his lands and allowed Kagome to climb off his back.
He watched as she walked around to face him and planted her fisted hands on her hips.
"Just what do you think you are doing?" she scolded. "You know Inuyasha will..." the young woman trailed off, leaving the thought unfinished. "He will, won't he?" Kagome asked tiredly.
Sesshomaru just looked at her, not able to say anything.
A sob hiccuped its way out of her throat. She ran to her 'kidnapper' and sank to her knees in the crook of his leg and chest, sobbing into his white fur.
"Why? I loved him. Why would he do this to me for some...some...thing that doesn't even care about him anymore!" She sobbed and sobbed, both their hearts breaking with each cry that toar itself from her chest.
He leaned down and nuzzled her gently, as if to tell her everything would be alright. The girl continued her crying. Eventually she cried herself to sleep. She lay where she had first started her tearful tyrade, in the crook of his leg and chest.
A chilling wind blew across the clearing, causing the young woman to shiver lightly. Sesshomaru layed his head down gently, covering the girl with his fur.
The next morning, Kagome awoke to a world of white. What's going on? she thought drowsily. Suddenly, every single painful memory from the day before rushed back to her, flooding her vision. She began to sob again, her body wracking with convulsions.
Sesshomaru lifted his head and whined softly, effectively capturing her attention. She gasped and looked up at him.
"Sesshomaru, is it true?" He nodded slowly, sadly. "Why did you take me from the field?" she asked quietly. For once, the Taiyoukai could not meet the girl's gaze. He looked at the trees, at the sky, even at the sun. Everywhere except the girl laying beside him. "Sesshomaru," she said in a firm tone, "why did you take me from the field? Look me in the eyes and give me some sort of answer."
The dog in him could not resist the firm tone of the commands. Cursing himself while doing it, Sesshomaru turned back to her to look her in the eye.
"Well?" she demanded.
In answer to her question, he once more lowered his head once more and gently nuzzled her, crooning softly in his chest.
"What is that supposed to mean 'grr...'?" she imitated his growl. "What does it mean?" Kagome repeated softly, looking the dog in the eye.
Let's see if you can understand some basic inuyoukai, Sesshomaru thought. He raised his head and leaned it to one side, exposing his throat.
Kagome gasped at his actions, she may have been human but she had hung out with an inu hanyou for the past four years. She knew what it meant when a dog exposed its throat. They trust you completely.
He lowered his head once more and gently touched her neck. The human miko knew what this meant too. Standing, she gently reached up and touched Sesshomaru lightly on the neck in the same manner he had her.
The Inu Taiyoukai was shocked, although he told himself he shouldn't have been. After all, she had traveled with his half brother until the defeat of Naraku. The hanyou may have been stupid, but he knew the inu language better than he knew the human tongue. Apparently, he had taught the girl some of his language.
The Lord of the West retreated into his more human form and met Kagome's blue gaze with his own golden one. Her hand still rested on the curve of his neck. Bringing his own hand up to hers, he genlty covered it with his own.
"Kagome," he whispered.
"Sesshomaru," she replied just as softly. She closed her eyes and parted her lips slightly as the stoic Taiyoukai lowered his face to hers.
Their lips met in a passionate blaze. Fire shot through Kagome and her knees buckled. She did not fall however.
Sesshomaru sensed her knees weakening, quickly slipping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer to him. Their bodies met and remained locked together for several minutes, until they each needed to breathe. Only then did the two seperate, and only a short distance.
Kagome placed her head at the base of Sesshomaru's throat as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
The Taiyoukai heard her sigh as he picked her up. Turning towards his castle, the Lord carried his little miko away from the rising sun and from the memories it held.
