Love at First Sight by Calpurnia the Forlorn

Chapter One

Ch. 1 Waiting

Kagome sighed as she watched the sun set, her eyes reflecting the violet sky. How long had it been since she had last seen him? A month? Two? She couldn't remember.

She was so lonely. As usual, a demon had attacked and Kagome had been forced to flee. Even now she felt guilty about it, but when he commands you, you obey. His word is law. He was very dominating.

* flashback *

Kagome held her arrow, ready to fire at the opposing youkai. The demon, which looked like a cross between a snake and a bear, turned from its current target and charged her. Kagome let her arrow fly, only to have the thing knock it away like a stuffed toy!

Just before the thing reached her, its original target caught it, hurling it into a nearby tree. "Run." He commanded coolly, as though there was no demon attacking them. "Don't turn back. I will come for you." With that statement done, he turned back to his foe.

Kagome shivered at the emotion that crossed his golden eyes and reluctantly obeyed his command. She knew better then to argue with her soon to be mate when he was like this. His only thoughts now were for death.

Where was the nearest village from here? She would need shelter and a safe one at that. She hadn't a doubt of who would win the fight, but just in case, she would need a roof over her head and villagers with the strength to fight.

* end flashback *

Though she was positive he had won, Kagome had not seen him since the fight. It's been over three weeks. Where are you my love? She sighed and let herself at last fall into a fit of sobbing. Would he ever come for her?

Ch. 2 Finding Yourself

Five miles away, Sesshoumaru was lost in another pointless fight. This was one of the only reasons he had not gone to find his future mate. He had lands to protect, that came first.

Some small part of him commented that this was, in fact, a lie. His mate should come first and foremost in every situation. That is, when he claimed one. And he did plan to claim one very soon. When he had time.

A voice in the back of his mind awoke with a vengeance and an awful tongue. When do you not have time? You're just freaked out 'cause you have to decide now! She needs you! She's waiting very patiently for your sorry ass to come get her! Sesshoumaru growled and ripped the head off his opponent. He didn't like this new part of him.

The demon lord suppressed the urge to ripe off Jaken's head as well. Instead he ordered his faithful servant to take Rin back to the manor and stay there. The little toad hastened to obey without question. He knew that tone of voice.

Sesshoumaru called his magic to him and lifted himself into the warm breeze. He knew well where she was, he had followed her when the fight had been won. Why he had failed to collect her then, he had no way of knowing. But now, after all this time, he needed to find her. His mate. He would claim her this night.

***

Kagome slowly let the last of her tears to fall away. This was no time to be sobbing like a child. She had come to the conclusion that her beloved was never going to return to her side. He never really did like humans anyway. She thought sadly. I should have expected this. Withholding another heart wrenching sob, Kagome lay down to sleep.

Ch. 3 Meetings

The young girl woke to the sound of something landing outside her window. She waited and when nothing came of it, rolled over and went back to sleep.

Three minutes later, a hand curled over her mouth and another crawled around her waist, lifting her onto someone's lap. Kagome's first instincts were to struggle, which led to a painful squeeze from the arm around her waist.

She squealed and grabbed for the hand, kicking out. Her attacker growled and she stopped. She felt the very male creature lean forward until his breath caressed her cheek.

"I won't harm you." He whispered coolly. The girl's eyes widened and she whimpered. He removed his hand from her mouth and trailed her jaw line with his forefinger. Without warning, she spun around and wrapped her arms about his neck. "I thought you were never going to come foe me!" She wailed, on the verge of hysteria.

He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, holding her close. He gently nuzzled her neck and let his tongue run lightly over her soft skin. She shuddered and relaxed.

He smirked and lifted her to walk towards the window. He would need a more romantic setting if he was going to seduce her properly.

The young woman let herself drift into a light doze as they glided over the land. She trusted her beloved.

He gazed down at the dozing figure in his arms and smiled. She looked as an angel should. An angle you will be inside before dawn. His hentai mind said cheerfully. Grudgingly, he had to agree. And he would make sure she begged for more!

Ch. 4 Lemons Are at Hand

Kagome opened her eyes and gasped. Before her eyes stood a crystal blue lake, its waters reflected on a small expanse of rocks rising above it. She gasped again and let her eyes take in the whole scene before returning her attention to Sesshoumaru.

The look on her face was priceless. Sesshoumaru took her in his arms once more and kissed her passionately, letting her know what was to happen next. She immediately responded, opening her mouth for his questing tongue. Kagome sighed, letting him back her towards to pool.

Before she knew it, they were on their knees beside the sparkling waters. Sesshoumaru took advantage of her willingness and began to undress her. Kagome watched his every movement. This was all new to her.

When he had removed all but her panties, Sesshoumaru resumed the kiss, removing his clothes while he did so. He could hear her heart beating wildly in anticipation of the night's events. She was nervous. So she's a virgin. Sang the voice. In truth, Sesshoumaru was thrilled. No other would ever touch her.

When he had finally finished, he laid his clothing on the ground behind her and gently laid her on top of them. She shuddered as he moved his hands down her form, caressing her thighs and sucking lightly on her breasts. Soon his mouth followed his hands to her thighs, his sweet tongue driving her mad. He listened avidly as her breath caught in her delicate throat.

Slowly, so as not to startle her, he removed her last garment and lowered his weight onto her. She shivered and let her fingers trace the patterns on his face. He let a hand drift down to the juncture of her legs and sighed in pleasure a she gasped his name. Kagome felt him move and moaned as his tongue took the place of his hand. My, but it felt so good! Sesshoumaru licked and sucked greedily, making Kagome squirm and dig her fingers into his back. She arched into him, no longer able to think past her pleasure.

With one last, long lick Sesshoumaru sat up and gazed down at the writhing girl below him. Carefully he spread her legs and positioned himself above her. Suppressing the urge to tear into her, he lowered himself until he felt the presence of her innocence.

He took her hands in his to sooth her and, with one powerful thrust, claimed her virginity, as was his right. Kagome screamed and arched again. Sesshoumaru reveled in her scream before leaning down to kiss her tenderly, whispering sweet words of comfort. Soon the pain was gone and Sesshoumaru moved as she relaxed, going slow for her benefit. She shuddered and moaned loudly. When she had stretched enough to accommodate him, Sesshoumaru increased his pace, her moans his encouragement. Kagome wrapped her legs around his waist and rocked with him. Sesshoumaru groaned and let his thrusts become wilder and harder, jarring her small form against the unforgiving ground. This was too much for her. Kagome screamed her lovers name as she reached the breaking point.

Sesshoumaru was not through with her yet. Quickly, before she could come off her pleasure high, he leaned forward and bit into her perfect throat, taking her blood and claiming his mate. Now she truly belonged to him. Just as she calmed down, Sesshoumaru started the whole process again. This went on for a good four hours before the powerful youkai finally climaxed deep within her. As Kagome came down, she grabbed Sesshoumaru's hand and bit him hard enough to draw blood. As soon as she tasted the metallic flavor, she threw his hand away and looked to him questioningly.

Sesshoumaru chuckled at the look on her face. He would explain later, now she needed her rest. He wrapped his tail around them both to provide a blanket and lay down. She snuggled up to him instantly.

He had no worries of being discovered, no one but him knew of this place. Kagome yawned before drifting to sleep. He would change her tomorrow. With this last comforting thought, the youkai lord let himself drift into sweet oblivion.

Chapter 5, Change in Species

Kagome moaned softly as the sun woke her. Why in the name of Kami did it have to hit her right in the eyes? And she was having such a wonderful dream, too. Sesshoumaru had come for her and they had... Kagome blushed. Duh, what am I stupid? I can hear him breathing... with that thought came the realization that she really WAS laying next to the youkai.

With a soft squeal of excitement, the miko sat up and lunged at her mate. "Don't ever leave me alone like that again, you... you... you... you!"

Sesshoumaru grinned to himself. Today was looking up. "I have no intention of leaving my mate alone." The youkai smirked suggestively, causing his Kagome to blush.

"Fine, so long as we agree." She muttered.

A cry of surprise left flew past her lips as Sesshoumaru pulled her to him, squeezing until he squeaked. "Okay, I get the point, you missed me. I need air!" The girl teased, hugging her lover right back. "Why did you wait so long, anyway?" She asked suddenly. "I thought you'd never come."

Sesshoumaru pondered for a minute or so, finally settling on a half-truth. She neednt know he had doubted their relationship. "I do not know." He responded slowly.

Kagome sighed. "You had doubts." She told him. Sesshoumaru blinked in faint surprise. "It's okay," she admonished, "We all have doubts sometimes." That she could read him this well both disturbed and excited the taiyoukai.

"Anyway." She continued," we should probably get dressed before someone finds us here." "None will find this clearing. It is hidden." Came the reply. Kagome sighed heavily.

"Let's get dressed anyway, and go home then." She suggested.

Sesshoumaru chuckled. "In a minute." He agreed. "But first..." The youkai fell on his mate with a soft purr, catching her lips with his to start the previous night's events once more.

**********

By the time the two reached Sesshoumaru's castle, it was late afternoon. The day had been a romantic one, spent in each other's arms, snuggling.

If I'd known two yeas ago I'd be here, I would have thought I was crazy. Kagome thought. Happiness really is bliss, though.

Sesshoumaru was having vague doubts about whether or not his Kagome would agree with the change. It was, after all, a whole new species. While he was lost in thought, the miko was wondering the halls; unaware that her Fluffy- can was no longer behind her.

When she finally noticed, in fact, she was out in the garden, singing to herself. Inuyasha and company had been long dead, having died at Naraku's hands. The well was later destroyed by Kagura and Kanna. Kagome, helpless and lost, had stumbled into Sesshoumaru, only to be swept off her feet.

Depression was a strong drug, but love was stronger. There was no depression as long as Sesshoumaru was near. She'd nearly let herself die in her waiting for him. Suicide she'd never do, but worry for him had made her weak.

Right now, however, she felt as though she could bench press a car with little effort. Suddenly Kagome giggled, an image of a flustered Sesshoumaru ridding in the passenger seat of her mother's old car floating through her head.

I wonder where he went, anyway. She thought, her bubbly smile still in place. "Well I'll just have to look."

The miko found him in the hall, staring into space determinedly. "Whatcha doing?" She asked, catching him off guard. "Did the air do something wrong?" She wondered idly, teasing him. Kagome turned and stared in the direction Sesshoumaru had been looking.

"I see a door, more hallway, some windows... what was so interesting?" Sesshoumaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he had seen he do so often.

"I was lost in thought, little tease." He replied softly. "'Bout what?" The miko asked. Here it was, the moment of truth. She was probably going to kill him for even making the suggestion.

"Kagome... I want to make you a youkai." He waiting, tense. How would she react?

Kagome tilted her head to side in thought, letting her fingers play over her mark. He features betrayed none of what she was thinking.

"Hm... well... I'd have to say yes; cuz there's really no other way for me to spend eternity with you."

Sesshoumaru blinked. She...agreed?

"You know, I'd already kinda figured something like this would happen. It just seemed logical." Kagome said.

Sesshoumaru stared at her a moment before pulling her in a tight embrace. "Arigato." He whispered for her ears only. "Of course!" And his miko grinned at him.

**********

Later that night, the two sat facing each other in their shared bedroom.

"So, how do we go about this?" Kagome asked nervousness and excitement in her voice.

"We must share our spirits and our powers." Sesshoumaru replied vaguely. Kagome sighed heavily. "That was so not helpful, Fluffy."

Sesshoumaru raised a playful eye at his mate. "Fluffy?" He asked amusement in his eyes.

"Hey, you're the one who goes everywhere with a huge fluffy whip thing hanging on your shoulder." She pointed out. "At first I thought it was a tail, but then when you transformed, you had a tale and the... thing, was still on your shoulder. Plus, you used it to keep Inuyasha from attacking you once. I've never seen anyone who can un-attach then re-attach a tail before."

Sesshoumaru laughed abruptly. "I? Have a tail?" The light laughter continued until Kagome beat him over the head with a pillow. "How was I supposed to know?" She mock demanded.

The laughter came to a slow halt, and with it the powers of the mated pair grew. Kagome gasped. Sesshoumaru frowned slightly. I have never seen power connect just by the sound of laughter... He thought.

Kagome's miko power rose and fell with the taiyoukai's humor. "It was the bonding thing." Kagome breathed. "Laugh again."

Sesshoumaru tilted his head to the side, but cautiously complied; bringing the image Kagome had created back to mind.

As soon as the laughter escaped him, power flew between them, enveloping the two in warmth and peace. "It's my miko power." Kagome knew suddenly. "It awakens to happy sounds. How odd." Sesshoumaru was inclined to agree.

The youkai quickly gathered his youki, pushing lightly against the miko's own powers. Kagome gasped, and pushed back. Soon the power was flowing over and around the both of them, combining and mixing at every chance it got.

Sesshoumaru leaned forward suddenly and caught Kagome in a passionate kiss, melding his mind with hers. Kagome let her shields come down for him, meshing their thoughts as one.

With a shudder, the power solidified for a moment before coming back to rest above Kagome. Pressure built between the lovers as the power forced its way past Kagome's humanity, seeking the darker side of humanity.

Sesshoumaru pulled back, watching in awe, as the sphere of light convulsed around his miko, lifting her into the air.

Years seemed to pass before the transformation took hold.

Kagome's nails lengthened, sharpening to become claws. Her teeth extended to become fangs. A half moon appeared on her delicate forehead, the emblem of the inu youkai. Her hair grew to her knees, turning a vibrant blue- black. Her eyes burned a violet red, the sign of her miko powers. Two small, delicate gold strips graced her pale cheeks.

With a soft popping sound, the power set the miko youkai on the bed before her mate. Sesshoumaru took the girl into his arm, running a soothing hand down her back.

Kagome yawned. The transformation had left her weary. Fluffy-kun, I'm gonna sleep now. She told him mentally. Sesshoumaru grinned. "As you wish. I'll be here when you wake." Kagome grinned. "Always?" She asked.

"Forever." Her lover replied, watching as his mate fell into a restful sleep. "I promise."
