Blood Blades

Impact

       Karuma awoke hours later to the sun going down. Damn, I slept most of the day. They had caught up with Inuyasha and the wolves, they ran beside her and Sesshomaru on Ah-Un.
       Even with all the rest, I feel weak. If the demon tried to rise now...I may be too weak to fight it. Sesshomaru still hummed to her, his voice, she knew, helped keep the demon at bay while she rested. She had heard him, even in her sleep...he is so good to me. He must not know I'm awake. She smiled, closing her eyes again, and continued to listen to him.
       His arms hugged her tighter. Aww...he stopped humming. "I love you, Karuma," He spoke softly, then continued humming. Damn...he's gonna make me cry.
      "I love you too, baby." She spoke softly, opening her eyes again. He stopped humming and looked down at her, smiling.
      "You know you growl and talk in your sleep."
      Oh no... "What did I say?"
      "You don't remember your dream?"
      "Hang on..." she closed her eyes again and thought back. Seeing flashes of a very naked Sesshomaru in her minds eye...geez, I can just imagine what I said...or did. Her cheeks turned red as her eyes opened to see his smiling face...his fangs were showing and everything. He was rather happy with himself.
       He chuckled at her blush. "I did find out just how much you love me tasting you, sweetheart." He spoke low, bending to her ear. "I shall have to do so more often...I love tasting you." He lifted her up a bit and licked under her ear. She growled low and bent her neck to him. Yes...him tasting her really turned her on.
      "If you want to know what I love, Sesshomaru...just ask...you tasting me is a favorite though...makes me so hot."
      He licked her neck. "Mm...what else do you love, princess?"
     Without hesitation she answered. "Your lips...I absolutely love kissing you...and I love them kissing me...all over."
     His lips came down on her neck, licking and kissing her. "I love kissing you too, beautiful. Your lips are so soft, like magic...and kissing your body..." he kissed her again. "A privilege only I get to enjoy, I love making you moan and squirm with a mere touch of my lips..." He licked her again. "What else, beautiful?"
       Mmm...damn. She moaned low. "Your hands...your touch...touching my naked body...Your hands make me feel treasured."
      "Yes. I love touching you. You are my treasure, Karuma." His free hand cupped her cheek.
       She cocked her head to the side. "You want to know what I love the most?" His eyes came to hers and he nodded. She brought her hand up to his heart. "This...I love you. Everything you are...I love. The way you show your love for me...I love. How you make me feel...I love." She turned her head and kissed his palm. Smiling, she turned back to him. "You are my everything too...I am yours, my Lord."
       The look in his eyes took on a softness. "Oh, sweetheart..." his arms squeezed tighter, lifting her a bit higher...to his mouth, which came down on hers. He growled low, his tongue licking her lips, she pulled back slightly and licked his lips back, then slid her wet, open mouth across his. He groaned, her tongue sliding into his mouth, swirling excitedly around his. He moved his hand from her face to wrap around her tightly.
       Her arms snaked around his neck and pulled herself closer to his lips. He is such a good kisser, and with how damned sexy he is...and with how much I love him, it's a huge turn on just kissing him...a privilege, like he had said. Ohh...his mouth...she moaned again.
       She rolled her tongue around his and he growled, sending a lightning fast spark through her...making her quickly forget her surroundings, and the others within them. Her hands buried in his hair, anchoring there and pulling him in closer. Still rolling her tongue, she slid it around his, forming her tongue to his. He growled again, a long, drawn out rumble. She moaned into his mouth and pressed herself into him, rubbing her sensitive breasts on his chest.
      "Hey Karuma, you're awake...I think. Can't see your face, ya got something stuck to it." She heard the wolf chuckle.
Shit...not alone. Sesshomaru lifted his head and looked down at her. His eyes told her many things, that predatory gleam sparkling within. "Later, sweetheart...we stop for the night soon." She swallowed and nodded. He sat up as her hands came down from his hair. His arms still held her tightly though. As he sat up, she saw Koga's smiling face as he ran close to Ah-Un.
     "There she is...Huh, you have stripes on your face, and your hair is darker. Are you changing half demon?"
      She reached up and touched her face. Yes...she was changing. Pretty soon she wouldn't be able to repress it. She nodded to the wolf. "Yes, and I don't know how much longer I can stop it, Koga. I feel weak..." speaking of which...she summoned a sphere beside her that played the acoustic guitar. Yes...a little better.
     "Are you hungry, sweetheart? It may help if you eat something." Sesshomaru asked her. Her eyes came back to his, concern shining in their depths.
     Now that he mentioned it... "Yes, I am. I'm famished." He nodded.
    "Time to make camp, Ah-Un." They 'chuffed' happily, then slowed and came to a stop.
     Ginta and Hakkaku, the poor things, collapsed to their hands and knees, huffing and puffing. Sesshomaru dismounted, still holding her. "I can walk, love." He smiled and set her to her feet, then removed their armor from around Ah and Un's necks, setting it on the ground out of the way.
      She walked over to the two sitting on the ground and knelt down beside them. "Are you boys alright?"
     "Don't worry about those two, Karuma. They are fine." Koga spoke up.
      She looked to Koga with an eyebrow raised. "I worry about all my friends, wolf."
      "We'll be okay..." Hakkaku panted as he spoke. "Just have to catch our breath."         
       Ginta nodded, lifting his head. "When we catch our breath, we will hunt something down for supper. You rest with the Lord, my Lady."
       Aww... "Thanks, boys. You're a big help."
       They both blushed, but smiled. "You're welcome, my Lady." They said in unison, making her chuckle.
       "I'll get some wood for a fire." Inuyasha spoke up. They had been following a stream, trees growing along it's banks. He took off in search of deadfall. Karuma rose and walked to the edge of the water, kneeling beside it, her sphere playing soft music, floating behind her. She looked at her reflection in the water. True enough, her stripes were defined darkly now on her pale face. They were a bit jagged looking as well...her hair was almost back to it's normal color too.
       Karuma checked her wings, dreading what she would find. She opened them around her face...they were still white, except a real thin outline of black around the edges. God...I am changing, and fast. My wings are skipping over gray and straight to black... almost like the elf and demon are fighting directly, no happy medium this time. And the demon is only getting stronger.
      "You alright, sweetheart?" Sesshomaru asked, kneeling and then sitting cross legged beside her.
       No...scared. "I am changing, fast...and the demon is only going to get stronger. No, I am not okay...I am weak, exhausted, and scared. I need my mate," she looked up at him with tears shining in her eyes. "I need you, Sesshomaru."
       His arms came around her, pulling her onto his lap. "I know, Karuma...I feel the same way. Look at my fangs, sweetheart." He opened his mouth, exposing his perfect teeth and his elongated fangs. They had definitely grown longer. He closed his mouth again. "They grew out, responding to your call to mate, ready to mark you as mine..." he leaned in and spoke in her ear again. "And I am getting used to my cock being solid constantly, your scent so close to your heat making me so. And, yes, I am rock hard as we speak." He rubbed his hardness on her thigh, drawing a whimper from her. "I have to stop myself from taking you against your will...I want you so badly, my own demon wants to turn savage and dominate you...calling out your demon to the surface." He started panting. "I crave your blood, filling my mouth when my fangs sink into the tender flesh at the back of your gorgeous neck..." his mouth came down on her neck, licking and kissing her...Ohh, so good! She leaned into him, turning her head so he could reach her neck easier. "Mm...half demon, Gods...I want you." His panting became faster as he rubbed on her again. He nipped her neck, drawing blood to the surface. She let out a rumbling growl as the blood scent wafted to her nose. He lapped her neck, licking her blood greedily.
       "Sesshomaru...Ohh..." He licked her again, sucking on her neck now. "I have to eat, baby. Can you wait for me?...we will run off together after supper."
        He sighed. Taking a long drought of her scent, he lifted his head as his arms dropped. "You better eat fast, beautiful. Sit with me while you eat...I want to feel you...that, and you can help me hide my...discomfort." He shifted beneath her, she could feel every inch of him rubbing on her. She looked down and could clearly see the outline of his huge cock through his hakama...Mmm, damn...
       Karuma cleared her throat, her eyes coming back to his. He smiled slow, his eyes narrowing to two golden slits, fangs exposed. He, again, reminded her of a predator, closing in on his target. She tried to swallow in a suddenly dry throat...need a drink. She bent from his lap to the water, wetting her face and getting a long drink. Sesshomaru dragged in a ragged breath...bending from his lap, her rear in the air and bending over him, he was about to snap...the tether on his control hanging by a thread. His hands molded around her cheeks and squeezed, making her flinch.
      "Woman, you love to test my strength...I cannot take much more, Karuma." He was panting heavily, visibly shaking when she looked back at him.
      "Sorry, love." She sat up again, accidentally rubbing across his hard shaft with her butt. His hands, that had moved to her hips, squeezed her hard as he groaned. He instinctively rubbed himself on her, grinding roughly, pulling her into him as his arms came around her again. A low growl rumbled from his chest. Another flash of longing sizzled through her, pooling in a wet gush between her legs. Her scent surrounded them...his growl rumbled louder.
     "Karuma..." it came out sounding like a warning and a plea. "I don't know if I can wait." He ground his hips on her again. "Ohh...your scent..." His mouth descended on her neck again, licking from the bottom of her neck to under her ear. Ahh...god...
     "Sesshomaru..." She whispered, bending her head to the side. His lips ran all over her neck, kissing all the exposed skin he could find. She could feel heat radiating off him, like an inferno...and she wanted to melt into him...his lips wrecked havoc on her senses. "So good, baby..."
