The man’s eyes glowed in the dark, Kagome thought weakly as he approached. They held a single-minded intensity, as if he were hunting, stalking his prey, and he had decided that she was dinner. Her breath caught in her throat and his letter, unread, slipped from her finger tips and slowly drifted to the floor, landing amongst the other envelopes she had tossed there moments ago. She had barely had time to rip open the envelope when she saw him there, standing at the entrance way to the floor of her building

Five years, she thought as she gazed upon him. Five years; so much had changed for her and yet it was as if he had remained the same. Same golden eyes, same silver hair, same build and gait and same speed.

She felt as if she had gotten old. There was no question in her mind about whether or not he liked what he saw as he approached. If he had hated it all, he would have turned and walked away. Sesshoumaru was honourable, but she knew he would not play the martyr a second time. She understood Rin, and she understood his need to stay by her as he made a promise. But he made no such promises to her.

Except that of a darkly forbidden passion as a great and powerful youkai fell with a human once more.

Was she enough to maintain his interest? She certainly hoped so.

“I had wished for a white dress,” he commented as he stood before her, his golden gaze sweeping over her body in heated caress. She felt it to her toes and lost all sense of self right then.

“I don’t own a white dress,” she replied, confused, backing herself against the door jam. She allowed her hands to grip the wood to help hold her steady, splinters digging into the flesh between her nails. She didn’t quite remember him being this imposing and for once, wished she had a bottle of vodka nearby. How did one prepare for this moment? How could one prepare for it after five years of waiting, wanting, dreaming?

How could she reach out and grab what she had wanted? Now that he was standing here, she felt immobilized, frozen.

“Inuyasha?” He questioned, lifting his eyes from her to scan the apartment behind her, while a single hand reached out and snapped the elastic from her hair. She could feel the black mass tumble upon her shoulders as they fell in waves. His hand slipped into the curls at the base of her skull, before wrapping them around it. His brow quirked in silent query at her silence.

“Gone,” she whispered, unable to say more, unwilling to break the spell he held over her.

His answer smirk sent a flash of heat straight though her as his grip tightened. “Good.”

Lips came crashing down on hers with a bruising force that all but sucked the air out of her lungs. Five years since she had tasted him. Then it was an experience. Now, she craved, releasing the walls so she could cling to him. His own hair was still bound, she noted as she tried to pull his head closer. The corner of the door jam dug into her back as he pressed his body against her. She didn’t care. Her fingers curled around the silk of his shirt, the heat of him seeping through. She felt him all over, hot and hard, the strength beneath the surface. She had felt that strength once before and knew the power of it.

His hands slid down her, settling on her hips possessively. She didn’t know it was possible to be closer to him and yet he pulled her nearer still. Stretching against him, Kagome moaned as she felt the heat of him through her jeans. He was rock hard and straining against his own cotton slacks. “We need to go inside,” she said as she pulled herself up, wrapping her legs around his hips. His hands splayed across her ass, his fingertips digging through the rough denim. The slight pinpricks only fueled the need within her more. “Now,” she demanded again, finding his mouth once more.

His tongue dueled for dominance as the door jam dug into her back. She felt no pain; she felt nothing but him, the heat of his mouth, his hands on her ass, his hardness pressed into her. She let go of his shirt with one hand and reached for the door as he removed her from the jam, and she slammed it tight. Nobody needed to see them tonight. Tonight was there, she thought briefly. And every night until he tired of her, or she of him. Maybe they wouldn’t tire at all. They had five years of sexual tension to ease and it would take longer than one night.

But she oh so desperately wanted this one night.

“Mine,” he murmured as he dropped her to the ground. His golden eyes were bright with a fire she knew matched her own, and they focused solely on her. The first time in her apartment and he wasn’t the least bit concerned with their surroundings. She didn’t care that she had a half pot of coffee on the counter, or dirty plates in her sink.

“Yours,” she confirmed, stepping back to lift her shirt over her head. She tossed it behind her, ignoring the resounding crash from whatever it was it landed on. That didn’t matter, it wasn’t important and she would deal with the repercussions of her rash actions later.

But she wouldn’t regret them. There would be nothing from tonight she could regret. He was before her in a flash, claws, reaching out like talons, ripping the last of her clothing from her body. “Unfair,” she teased as her hands found the buttons to his shirt. “You’re strong enough to rip my clothes off, yet I’ll be lucky if I can pop one button off yours.”

Sesshoumaru chuckled darkly as his hands fell upon hers, and held them as he ripped his own shirt off. Kagome’s mouth went dry as she looked upon him. How did she not remember this? How could she forget how flawless he was. “I want to see you,” she demanded again. “Not you as you are now, but you.” The transformation took place in less than a second. His eyes were brighter, his nails were sharper, but perhaps the most awe inspiring part of it all were the markings appearing suddenly on his face. They added character and dimension. Tentatively she reached up and ran her fingers over the magenta stripes on his cheeks. “Where else do you have them?” she questioned.

He smirked as he reached for her right hand, pulling it to his mouth and scraped his fangs along the palm. The tingle echoed deep, causing her to shudder momentarily. Hungry eyes sought hers as he spoke. “I’m sure by the end of the night you’ll have them all memorized. He dropped her hand to his hip, forcing her to look downward.

She was sure her eyes went wide and opaque. “Oh my,” she breathed as she noticed the large magenta bands sitting low on them, angling further down. Dropping to her knees, her fingers deftly worked the buckle of his belt, before unzipping the pants and letting them fall to the ground. He stood erect and proud, though that wasn’t what she had her focus on. Fingers trailed gently down both the stripes on either side of him and she was inwardly pleased when he hissed as they met at the base, grabbing him. She was on her feet in an instant as he lifted her, pushing her so her back met the wall. Growling low, he captured her lower lip, rolling it between his teeth as he nipped and sucked on it, before crushing her mouth with a bruising force.

Claws ripped her good panties from her body, but she didn’t care, she realized as her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She was surrounded in sensation as he rubbed against her. She was drowning, she thought. He was slowly submerging her and she was in too deep to do anything about it. “Bedroom,” she demanded, wrapping her hands in his hair once more, ripping the elastic that bound it together. Silver waves fell over her like a curtain, the silky tresses shocking her body as brushed against her skin.

“No,” he growled again. “Here, now.”

“Here, now,” she confirmed as she felt him plunge into her. There would be no foreplay today. They have had five years of foreplay to build up to this one moment. His fangs ran over the juncture between her neck and shoulder, nipping and biting as he slowly began to increase in speed. Both pain and pleasure rang through body, making it sing as she leaned her head back against the wall, giving him easier access to her skin and submitting to him completely. She didn’t notice his smirk as she did this, nor did she notice the way one of her hands made its way to her entrance, finding her clit.

“Oh god,” she cried as he ran his thumb over it once, twice, and a third time before pressing down. Her legs tightened around him with a bruising force as she found herself coming closer and closer to the edge. “Sesshoumaru,” she murmured, his name a litany on her lips. Never, she thought, never had she felt so completely filled before. Never had she felt so completely delirious, and it was all him. He knew exactly what to do, what to say and where to touch to get her to such a state of frenzy.

Tears poured down her cheeks unnoticed, her head thrashed from side to side as she could do nothing but feel him. Him! In the flesh, inside her, all around her. His movements were no longer slow and smooth and practiced. Red tinged within his eyes, serving to only excite more as he plunged harder, faster, feeding the passion that consumed them both. “Mine,” he growled again, no longer in control of himself.

Closing her eyes, her whole body stiffened as it stumbled over the precipice, her legs and hips convulsing with white hot pleasure. It took a moment to realize that he too had stopped moving as his roar echoed throughout the tiny apartment.

Both lay slumped against the wall, he sandwiching her between the cool drywall and his sweaty torso. She couldn’t hear anything beyond the two of them breathing deeply, slowly taking in air as if it had been denied from them. Her head fell upon his neck, lips by his ear as she slowly extricated her fingers from his hair. Smiling, she was pleased to see she had affected him just as much as he had affected her.

“Sesshoumaru?”

“Hn?” His arms loosened as he carefully dropped her to the ground. Her fingers trailed against his chest, spelling out the various letters of her message as she spoke it.

“Welcome home.”
