Willow Tashi

8: Questions and Blushes

I don't want to get up right now. My body is sore, but I am comfy and warm so I snuggle up to my new heat source. I hear an airy laugh, then strong arms wrap around my waist.
"We need to go back soon, Willow." Sesshomaru murmured in my ear.
"*groan* fine." I say then sit up, only to plop back down.
I'm really hungry, and I think Sesshomaru knew this.
"The faster you get up, the sooner you get to eat." He said with a grin
I just rolled over while mumbling "I can last."
He then rolls me back over, but pins my body down with his.
"You say that like you've had to?" He said starting to get worried.
"Well, I am an orphan, and I lived with Kagome and her family until 5 years ago........ I was forced to live with other people and they only let me eat about twice a month." I said very bluntly.
His grip started to get really tight.
"Sesshomaru, you're hurting me." I whine and he instantly lets go.
"Now, where are my clothes? I want to go see Rin." I said with a pouty face.
When he looked at me, lust flashed through his eyes, but he nodded and pulled my clothes out of the wardrobe.
I got out of the bed and started to strip. I stopped when I heard a growl, and turned to Sesshomaru
"We have to go, so stop growling and get dressed." I said and he looked a little shocked but then smirked.
Oh. Crap.
He walks over to me very slowly.
He is mocking what I did last night.
Dick.
"What if I, want to continue?" He said, bending down and nipping at my neck.
"Then you can 'continue' getting dressed." I said and put my under clothes on.
He growled and was standing next to me, fully dressed, before I even finished getting my pants on.
Once I was dressed, I didn't even bother with shoes, they aren't going to fit much longer, so why bring them?

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•

We are now floating down to the rest of our group.
"Master Jaken!!! They're back!!!!" Yelled Rin excitedly, causing me to giggle.
Sesshomaru set me on the ground and I instantly pick Rin up and spun her in a hug.
She then gives me a questioning look and points to my neck
"Did you get in a fight with demons while you were out?" She asked
I looked to where she was pointing and faked a smile.
"Yeah, we fought with a squid demon and one of its tenticle's hit me." I said and she took the bait. I sneak a look at my mate and narrow my eyes at his amused expression.
"Let's go." Sesshomaru said and started to walk away. I frown and set Rin down and jog up to Sesshomaru
"Nuh-uh, you don't get to be all emotionless now." I say in a mock- athority tone.
This earns me a raised eyebrow and half smirk
"Judge all you want but you better show emotion while doing it." I state and he just looks past me and keeps moving forward.
"*growl* Sesshomaru." I warn, but he jumps in the air, landing behind me while growling. I turn around and watch as a man with black hair and a scent I can only describe as evil, walks out of the bushes.
I flash to Rin and stand in front of her protectively. Now that I am farther away, Sesshomaru's eyes go back to normal, but he still looks to be on the defensive.
I crouch down, not taking my eyes off the creature and my mate.
"Rin, who is that?" I ask
"That's the bad guy. Naraku" She says and my eyes widden.
"Well, I see you have found your mate, Lord of the Western lands." Naraku says and stares at me with a lustfull gaze, making me shudder.
"Why are you here?" Sesshomaru asks
"Why, I had to give the lucky couple a congratulations of course! Now, have you discussed names yet?" Naraku asked with false excitement.
"What is your true business?" I say warningly
"Oh, you truly are as smart as I had hoped! I've come to steal you and have you as my mate." He says in a dark tone, Sesshomaru and I both let out deep growls.
"No." My mate and I stated in sync.
"Oh darling, you are very powerful, so I choose you. You cannot refuse or I will kill your dear mate and possibly your child............. nevermind, I will wait until your child is born. If it's a female, we'll keep it with us, but a male will stay with its father. See you in 7 months deary!" Naraku calls and disappears in a puff of smoke. But it was suddenly very hard for me to breath. I started to cough and gag until I collapsed from lack of air.
"Willow, breath." Sesshomaru says, sitting me up in his lap.
I try to listen to his command, but everything was burning and I could no longer keep my eyes open.
