Hypnotized by Prayer
The Meet
Demons were rarer in the modern world, all the 'stupid' ones had died out and left the ones with humanoid forms. Spells to hide the inhumanity were made and bound to items. In fact, it had been Shippo that built up a whole business with these spells. Inuyasha had tried finding Kagome, but the Higurashi's had moved just after Kagome returned to the future. So he went searching. But it wasn't until Kagome was 21 that anyone of the old group met her.
Sesshomaru found Kagome in a very... unusual situation. It was in a night club, and when he saw her on the dance floor, he gulped and began sweating slightly.
She easily dominated that dance floor. She danced to the drumming bass, her hips swaying. Sesshomaru could tell that every male inside the club watched her hypnotic movements. And he was no different. When he caught the trail of her scent, his beast purred. It had changed and became richer. It became something addictive, something teasing. Sweet and spicy, pure and bright. Teasingly delicious.
And tease she did. Her black dress was short, barely covering the necessities. But it wasn't slutty. It was classic and elegant. Her waist was thin, her hips wide and her breasts full, but not too full. She was a vision of perfection. She kept her hair longer than he remembered and her eyes seemed darker. No more sapphire. Dark, enchanting deep-oceanic blue.
He felt his blood run faster and was amazed. What he saw and what he remembered didn't fit together. Yes, in the past she had always run around in that very short skirt, but she had been pure and naive. This was different. She wasn't innocent and naive anymore. She knew what impact she made. She knew how to move to enchant any male. Including the demon lord.
Sesshomaru gulped again, sitting in the VIP section and watched her on the dance floor, feeling his energy pulse stronger.
The way she arched, the way her hips moved... the demonic energy beneath his spell rose. He had never encountered a more desirable, tantalizing female and he had already lived more than thousand years.
.
Kagome knew of the stares. She felt the pulse of demonic energy from several sources in the room and suppressed her mirth. That was always the most fun, attracting demons. One energy felt familiar and she closed her eyes as she danced, concentrating on it. It came from one of the demons in the VIP section of the club and she almost grinned maniacally as she identified it. Sesshomaru. Interesting. Very interesting.
The song ended and she strolled over to the bar, being followed by many eyes. A small seductive smile and she ordered something, turning around to scan the room. Counting the demons, both male and female, she wore her small smile. She was wondering how to go about Sesshomaru. She felt his energy pulse beneath his spell and had to refrain from laughing out loud. He already reacted to her? How interesting.
The barkeeper served her order and as she pulled out money, he waved it away. She smiled in thanks, inclining her head as the barkeeper gave her a small card. She knew him and he knew her. Interesting that it had taken him so long to do this.
.
He watched with narrowed eyes as the barkeeper did not let her pay and gave her a card. A phone number? She accepted it with a nod, not surprised. Was that what became of the Shikon Miko? He couldn't believe it.
Then she walked over to the DJ and he greeted her with a half-hug. Her scent wafted over and he tested it deeper. There was no other scent... She hadn't been touched intimately in a long while. His forehead creased. She was flirting with the whole club, but didn't accept any advances?
The DJ bent down and whispered something into her ear and Sesshomaru's beast snarled.
.
“How many demons tonight?”
“I counted about 14 males and 8 females.” she answered, standing next to the DJ, her friend, who was also a demon. “And an old acquaintance.”
“The attractive VIP with light hair and eyes who is staring me down?”
Kagome actually laughed. “Yep.”
“I guess he's strong, considering his confidence and the way he moves. And old. At least 700 years.” Katsu thoughtfully said. The wolf demon was Kouga and Ayame's son – his hair a reddish brown and his eyes Ayame's green – but he and Kagome kept their friendship secret from his parents and any relatives. They had met just a bit over a year and a half after Kagome's return to the future and he had immediately recognized her from the tales he had been told. Kagome liked hanging out with him, talking about things she had to hide from her human friends.
“You don't know him?” Kagome asked him curiously. “Never met him?”
“Not that I remember.” Katsu said, changing to another song and then looking over to her. “Should I?”
“Oh yes.” she answered with a smile. “The former Lord of the West and Inuyasha's half-brother.”
Katsu's eyes widened. “That's Lord Sesshomaru? Dad told me things about him... and Uncle Inuyasha too.”
That was another good side of being friends with Kouga's son. She knew how everyone had been and was currently without being in the picture. It was better than having to deal with an annoying hanyou.
“I think he passed the thousand year mark already.” Kagome thoughtfully hummed.
“You know that dogs are incredibly possessive? And the way he is looking at you, he considers you his, even if just unconsciously?”
She smiled seductively and leaned into Katsu. “I know.”
“You're playing with him?” Katsu paused before leaning down to whisper in her ear. “Brave.”
She giggled and took a step away. “Thanks.” she called as she left for the dance floor.
He shook his head ruefully, but with a smirk on his lips. The Kagome from the tales had been totally different, but he could say with his whole heart that this Kagome was better in his eyes. She had reconciled with her past and became a desirable female who knew what she wanted.
