Blood Blades

Lock

Karuma smiled in Sesshomaru's arms. After her father's collar had been removed, he had wasted no time, dumping the former king in a heap at Himitsu's feet, then immediately scooping her up and whisking her out a high window of the tower without another word spoken, leaving even her weapons and armor behind. He had waited long enough apparently. It had made her almost completely forget the huge responsibility her own father was trying to thrust upon her...almost. But she chose to push that to the back of her mind for now as she cuddled deeper into his embrace.
He practically hummed as she settled in, frantically searching the grounds below for a secluded spot to take her, ignoring the excited waves of those outside the castle walls as he zipped over their heads in the early morning light. Karuma chuckled inwardly...the boy has a one track mind, and nothing would deter him from his goal now. She looked at his handsome face, seeing the determination setting in the deep tick of his jaw as he clenched his teeth together. He was barely holding it together, and so serious. She reached out and poked a finger into the throbbing point in his ticking jaw, gasping at the burning intensity of his eyes as they swung around to her. Now that they were alone, he hid nothing from her. Damn...
Without a thought to her own carnal sensitivities his words might wreck havoc upon, he spit them out regardless, ripping the very breath from her lungs as soon as he uttered them. "My knot has descended. We are going to lock." She almost choked on her own saliva, sputtering as her eyes widened and heart raced at an erratic pace. An immediate hot wave splashed through her, leaving her panting. They were going to connect in the most intimate way possible for dog demons...and, she had heard of the most mind numbing pleasure to be had during the lock, opening her to receive his seed. Of course, it was possible to breed without the knot, it just assured success. She was instantly wet and her eyes reddened at the thought of him locking tight deep within her. She couldn't stop herself to save her soul as her scent barrier vanished, no longer able to control it, and her ravenous mouth crashed into his.
Her scent rose strong around them, literally spelling out in the air, how much his muttered words had affected her. There was no hesitation in her actions. Her intentions were crystal clear as her growl rumbled in her throat, pulling him closer when her arms circled his neck and ravaging his lips. He growled deeply as well, pulling away.
"Control yourself, wench. I want to take you properly. Where I can listen to you scream for me while I dominate you wholly...completely. I wish to play your body as eloquently as you Serenade, touching upon every part of you until I reach your soul." Wow...her mouth dropped as his own red rimmed eyes turned away once more to search the lands below. She saw that his facial stripes even appeared jagged again, just as hers were. It was an incredible turn on that she was affecting him so...that she was the cause of his knot. And his words...so goddamned hot!! Her mouth was suddenly like a desert and her temperature skyrocketed, flushing her face as she stared in dumbfounded fascination at his handsome features. He glanced back at her temporarily with a smirk.
"Am I that interesting?"
"You are fucking hot." It just slipped out unexpectedly, and took him completely by surprise as he burst out laughing at her honesty.
"As are you, Goddess. In fact, my eyes cannot linger overlong for fear of being scorched by the level of heat I feel when I gaze upon you..." he chuckled once more, eyeballing her face again. "You appear to be going up in flames yourself...and your scent is delectable." The way he said delectable...mmm. Like he wanted to devour her slowly to savor her, bit by bit.
His eyes scanning the ground once more, he smiled as he spied thicker woods that, in fact, got fed by the same river that ran through Luna's Delight. He dropped down in the thick of them, placing her immediately on her feet.
With a demonic smirk, his eyes flashing, he spoke one word as he stood back to look down at her. "Run." Her eyes widened dramatically once more. Is he serious!? Her question was answered as he reached out fast, jumping at her and ripping at his armor at the same time. She hopped quickly out of his reach, and took off, sprinting away to the right and ducking as his hand swooshed above her head, then dancing away between the trees. Something about this game was way different from their play before...way more instinctual...and way more stimulating. He almost caught her, swinging around a tree, swooping around her left and bending low to scoop her up. Karuma smirked and flipped over the top of him, vaulting off his shoulders upside down with her hands to land on her feet behind him, and sprinting away again as her toes touched the ground. She heard him loose a growling chuckle of respect.
"Impressive, half demon." He said as he spun around to follow her once more. He really enjoys this, his pursuit becoming more focused as he came up alongside her, his head turning to watch her move intently, trying to read her movements. She was finally realizing that she, a half demon, was giving him a run for his money. She smirked once more, slowing her footfalls, then stepped close behind him, circling his body as she fluidly jumped around him, up over his left shoulder, facing him, then dropping down around his legs and ducking behind him to jump away once more, running back in the other direction. He stopped in his tracks with a growl of appreciation.
"That was damned hot, woman. And so fast...very impressive indeed." She stopped next to a tree, running her fingers up its trunk and bending at a sexy angle into it, facing him back to, her hooded red eyes meeting his around her right shoulder, grinning and thrusting her breasts outward... seduction heavily lacing her every sensual move.
"I thought you wanted to catch me, demon. Were you always this slow? It's a wonder you have survived this long..." her wings opened slightly around her, her tail now bobbing as she wiggled her backside at him tauntingly. She distinctly felt his aura rising around them as her taunting may have gone a bit too far. She dug just a little deeper, swallowing down her trepidation at the consequences. "You will never defeat my demon with weak skills such as those." The truth...though she wished it were otherwise. Her words had the desired effect, however, as he zipped toward her, chock full of determination, his aura literally sparking in yellow zaps all around them. A scent of ozone filled the air as his rising aura singed the very air around them. She should be frightened...but instead she evaded his pursuit with a laugh. His growl rose louder.
     Beyond banter...he pursued her as he would his prey, his fangs exposed in a snarl, nose wrinkled, eyes slit and following her closely, his hair whisking around him as he moved fluidly and gained ground on her, running almost parallel to the earth beneath him. Truly mesmerizing...the beast rising to her challenge. And if she were caught...he would ravish her. The thought was very tempting indeed, to let him catch her...but she banished it, knowing the punishment for letting him win would be much more severe.
     He came dangerously close, so close in fact, she could literally feel his wind as he reached for her once more. She sidestepped, intending to dance away from his grasp, but then his left foot jutted out, tripping her up...and it was over. He caught her, swooping as they fell together and turning fast, he absorbed the impact and rolled, pinning her to the ground with his body. A growl rose out of him once more as she tried to struggle out of his clamp-like grasp, to no avail.
    "Concede defeat, half demon," his voice was deep and raspy, growling out into her ear as he leaned down, stilling her movements, "you are mine!" His hands, grasping her arms firmly, held her in place. She was panting heavily from the exertion, and red faced as she looked up at him when he raised his head once more. God...shouldn't have looked! His expression of victory bordered on downright cute. A gloating, smug, and ego filled smirk bared his fangs as he panted atop her, waiting for her to concede with a lustful twinkle in his red rimmed eyes. Again, he is so fucking hot!! She panted for an entirely different reason now, remembering they were going to lock tight.
     "I concede, hot stuff, but I have always been yours. So, claim your prize already."
"You called my skills weak, wench. Perhaps I should withhold from you what you truly desire. I can smell you and how much you want it."
     She laughed, knowing he could deny her nothing...especially when he wanted it just as much as she did. "In order to punish me, you condemn yourself, my Lord. Is that truly your desire?" She leaned up and licked his chin, nipping the underside of it lightly, trying to appease him through canine instincts, then leaned back again, tilting her head back to expose her vulnerable throat to him. His aura spiked at the sight of her, filling her limbs with liquid satisfaction, knowing that in submitting, she garnered the true control. "I've yielded to your prowess already...must I beg?"
    "That may appease my wounded pride greatly, wench. Tell me how much you want me. Now."
    She started panting heavier now, intending to show him instead. Her glazed red eyes rolled upward as her head tipped back further, thrusting her breasts forward into his still armored chest, a loud moan escaping her throat as her upper fang bit onto her bottom lip. A heavy sense of urgency filled the air around them as she started growling. Strangled words escaped her lips in desperation. "Sesshomaru...don't push me, demon. You must appease my inner demon soon or face the consequences. I. Am. Begging. You. To. Take. Me!" His eyes grew wider with every punctuated word, his own breathing increasing dramatically as he scented the air around them deeply. Then he abruptly sat up and started removing his armor quickly, knowing a line had been drawn this early morning. It clattered to the ground beside them, along with his swords and obi. He started pulling at his kimono while her eyes watched him closely, panting heavily still as well. He shed it, and she noticed the stripes on his wrists were now jagged too, his beast barely in check as his aura fluctuated wildly.
     He jumped up, bending and ripping off his footwear and removing his hakama quickly as well, revealing his gorgeous body to her hungry eyes, getting caught up on his raging erection. Her aura spiked, revealing itself as her veil dissipated and started clashing with his. He let loose a deep, foreign sound from somewhere within the depths of his chest as their separate auras collided, trying to remain calm in the face of her true strength unleashed. He shook, fighting for dominance without even touching her...even as she was fighting hard to submit and unknowingly making him aware that she willingly chose to submit, and not because he had bested her...far from it....the truth was, she loved his possessive dominance. A growl and whimper combined rose from her in answer to his primal call.
"Your clothes. Remove them." He commanded with a deep rumble lacing his voice and making her visibly shudder. He expected no argument or hesitation, and she gave him none, further submitting to him by literally jumping to his order, she hopped to her feet, removing her crown and trying to strip quickly with fumbling fingers. His growl of impatience did little to settle her frazzled nerves.
Her response to him was causing her trembling. Her insides were quaking and felt so hollow...empty and aching deep, she could feel her essence dripping, soaking her as the entrance to her sheath pulsated with hunger and need...she thought he turned her on immensely before, but this hunger, this big empty, she had never felt. Never in her life had she been turned on to this extent, and the air around them soon revealed that fact as her scent changed again.
Once more, she heard him emit that low, primal sound from deep within his chest. "Karuma, hurry..." He choked out with a growling voice. Her eyes lifted to him as she finally managed to fling back her kimono off her wings. The jagged stripes on his face and hands had widened and lengthened, covering more of his pale skin, his eyes were entirely blood red with purple hued irises, his face appeared more rugged and beastly, and his opened mouth revealed more than just his canines bore a sharp point as he panted heavily through his open lips. His claws had become longer and had turned black. His hair bristled...even his mokomoko resting at his bare feet trembled, the fur standing on end. Her mouth went dry, seeing him so affected, and she started ripping at her own hakama, finally managing to yard them off her legs and tail. She stood naked before him, awaiting his next growled order.
Bending, he grabbed one end of his fur in his right hand and lifted it high in the air, giving it a sharp snap. It opened wide, extending to tremendous proportions, covering the ground around them in a thick, white fluff as it spread out, and impressing her immensely, her eyebrows shooting upward in surprise. That is, indeed, a cool trick! But, he didn't give her any time to praise his unique ability, instead commanding in a barely restrained rumble...
   "Submit wholly, half demon. On your hands and knees and expose that tight, saturated pussy. Now." She swallowed hard and spun to obey. Lowering gracefully to his fur, she held her tail aside, arching her back and jutting her ass out toward him, feeling her juices drip down her inner thighs in eager anticipation. Never had she been so soaked...she bit her lip hard, tasting blood and hoping to distract herself with the slight pain. Her head was an absolute mess, unable to think straight, except about how utterly horny he made her, how much she wanted him to fill her roughly, setting his beast loose.
    I am such a slut for him and his huge cock, she thought wryly with a smirk. I crave his absolute abandon as his instinct to dominate me takes over. Her sheath pulsated, hard. God...hurry, Sesshomaru!!
    He dropped to his knees behind her with another rumble, bending over her on all fours above her, rubbing the length of his body along hers and groaning, engulfing her completely and making her feel that nothing could penetrate the world within his arms...the world that she reigned over as queen.
   "Sesshomaru..." she whispered his name in a desperate plea as she arched into him, holding her tail aside and running her bare cheeks along his burning and pulsating cock...she could feel the knot rising by it's base, making her mad with desire. The scent in the air intensified as uncontrolled moans spilled from her lips. "Please...I need you..." she begged with absolutely no humility, rubbing her ass along his hot shaft again. "Only you..."
    "And only you will have me, Goddess." He responded as he leaned back away from her, grabbing the sides of her thighs with both hands and squeezing her roughly. Pulling her to him, he impaled easily, thrusting deep, sharp, and fast. A loud cry rose from her as she pushed back hard into him and felt his knot around the outer rim of her sheath. A loud groan from him answered her.
    He feels so fucking hard! He filled her completely, her insides on high alert, every inch touching deeply on her inner nerves. Then he pulled back, until only the head remained, and grasping her tightly, he pulled her to him, slamming home again, the knot hitting her hard. A loud "Ahhh!" slipped out of her mouth. Each nerve responded, tingling and twitching fast, squeezing tightly around him, the empty feeling receded as he filled every inch of her. He grunted and pulled back again, his aura spiking around them as he thrusted back in hard once more, a rumble vibrating his chest, rising to a deep growl when she moaned out, "Sesshomaru! Fuck, demon!"
    Every inch...every fucking hot inch...of her insides that wrapped around him, welcomed his almost painful invasion, constricting tightly as the floodgates opened, soaking them both. The whole length that he touched upon, the indescribable feeling of her response as everything inside set off a euphoria that felt almost drug induced...an addiction. Her heat, that was rising rapidly...this was the instinct that drove and took over. Mindless to everything but the pleasure. A heady drug, indeed...one that would only get worse once her heat was upon her. A desperation clung to her, a burning intensity clouding her thoughts, almost making her choke on the one word she managed to strangle out as she threw her head back, begging and arching into him harder, "More!" (A/N: phew!!! Dang!)
    He growled louder, then leaned down over her with a groan, shoving her down into his fur, his face close to her ear and growling continuously now, pressing down on top of her to penetrate as deeply as possible, grinding hard into her. Oh god!!...the knot slid slightly inside her, sending a jolt through her, instinctively bending more into him to receive the lock, her inner walls opening around him as her inner nerves seemed to blossom, the pleasure so intense she almost blacked out. Tears ran down her cheeks, a foreign sound escaping her lips.
"Open up for me, Goddess. Only you will receive me." He growled out in her ear, withdrawing once more, the empty feeling returning, until he slammed home one more time, the knot entering her completely. A world of intense sensation exploded around him, and swept throughout her body, blinding her and not even hearing herself scream out his name, or even realize she had. He roared back, filling her like never before, locking in tight and shuddering on top of her.
She thought it was all over, until the knot slid up his shaft more, embedding deeper. "Oh fuck!" She screamed into his fur, cumming around him a second time, just as he did, roaring and shooting a second load deep inside her as he held her tightly. Her muddled brain whispered...no wonder the knot assured success...then her demon responded. Fuck!
She felt an extreme heat rise, her wings and hair staining black at the tips. Growling, she pushed back into him as the knot moved deeper one more time. She roared herself this time as the inner fire was quenched with an explosive orgasm that blackened the world around her, passing out into his fur...and probably a good thing she did too...

    Sesshomaru lay panting atop her, assuring himself she was breathing as his knot slowly receded. Never had he felt anything so intense in his entire life. Nor had she, apparently, he thought with a smirk. Then he leaned up, seeing the changes in her that still remained, realizing they may not even have two days left, before the demon rose to challenge him. Really, they had no time to even discuss what her father asked of her. They had to defeat that dragon.
The knot finally receded enough to disengage with her. He rolled to the side and pulled her along with him, removing her face from his fur so she could breathe easier and wrapping around her backside. She remained unconscious, but mumbled his name as he moved her, bringing another smirk to his lips despite his worry about their current situation.
He loathed having to wake her, she needed rest after last night...a lasting rest. He was torn between completing their mission quickly and letting her rest in the deep slumber that she so desperately needed. He felt sapped of strength and energy as well, but knew he couldn't give in to fatigue. His intended needed him to be strong for her, because even as she gained immense strength, she was weakening. He sighed, torn.
    Karuma must have felt his uncertainty and indecision, as she turned toward him and touched his cheek, now fully awake, concern shining in the depths of her eyes.
   "It's alright, love. I'm tired, but we can't rest yet. We have to rally everyone for the final push...then I'm gonna sleep for a frigging week. C'mon, let's get dressed and return to them. We need to plan our next move. I'll worry about what my father asked of me when my current issues are resolved...I haven't got the time or strength to worry about it now."
   "You've changed again, Karuma. Your scent, your appearance, and your control over yourself is slipping..." his head shook with another sigh. "We cannot lock again, or you may step over that final threshold. We must make haste before all is lost." He voiced his concern in a whisper, reaching up and touching her hand gently that still rested on his cheek. She shuddered, but reluctantly nodded her agreement.
   "I ache deep within at the thought...but, you are correct. If I hadn't blacked out..."
   "Shh...we don't have time for 'ifs', sweetheart. Come." He stood up after unwinding himself from around her, then extended his hand out to her. "The sooner we move, the sooner you will be mine. I grow impatient to claim you, wholly and completely. No army of elves, Hell Hounds, or especially dragons, will stand in the way of my goal. I will rise to any challenge to claim you as mine." A tear rolled down her cheek as her hand reached for his.
