Chapter 101

A little bit of enjoyment



Sesshomaru barely refrained himself from groaning with frustration. Merely minutes passed from the moment, he embraced the damnable woman, till she began having some sort of dream. She was shifting and wriggling in his hold, but the demon trapped her waist with his arm, not letting her turn around, for it would be even more troublesome. Unfortunately his efforts were not enough to provide him safety from her charms – when she was wriggling, her backside kept rubbing against his front.

Sesshomaru shifted his hand from her stomach to grab her hip, wanting to keep her still, but this position was even more shameful. Having touched her in such inappropriate way had equally
devastating effect on his willpower as her unconsciously seductive moves. The inu-youkai gritted his teeth, wanting to growl from anger. How would he be able to maintain his resolve not to take her tonight? The woman may have been asleep, but she was begging him to take her, baiting him like that. No… Sesshomaru was a man of honor, he would never take advantage of a sleeping female. He forcefully pushed her away, as a brief thought flickered through his mind that he should wake her.



Sesshomaru uncovered the woman slowly, savoring the sight before his eyes – the way she looked, engulfed in the pale moonlight was so alluring, that all thoughts of fighting his desire left his mind, leaving only one – to become joined with her. Without any unnecessary haste, he removed her sleeping kimono and pulled back, admiring her in her full glory. His eyes were devouring her sweetly round breasts, traveled down, over her belly till they reached the spot modestly decorated with dark hair and her beautiful legs. Perhaps she was not the most beautiful woman in the world, but in his eyes she was the perfection.

The demon leaned over her and touched her shoulder, as she sighed in her sleep. Slowly, he traced his palm down, till he cupped one of her breasts. He closed his eyes, enjoying the sensation under his fingers, as he caressed her nipple, making it erect. Not being able to stop himself, he brought his face closer and licked the pink flesh. When there was no reaction nor sign of Mai waking up, he captured her nipple with his lips, sucking on it delicately, careful not to bring her pain accidentally.

Once both her breasts had been taken care of, now damp with his saliva, his mouth travelled lower. He showered her delicious stomach with gentle kisses, between he reached his destination. Slowly, he parted the woman's legs, nestling himself between them and burying his nose in her crotch, inhaling her sweet scent. He smiled slightly before proceeding with his ministrations. Not being in hurry, Sesshomaru's tongue darted out and moved over Mai's womanhood, tasting her most intimate place. Quickly, he untied the sash and removed his kimono. The demon felt her twitching and shifting, but she still was in slumber. Apparently it took more to wake her up. Savoring the moment, he began pleasuring her with his mouth, his tongue moving over and over around her clit, as his hands held her tights spread wide. Soon he heard Mai's breathing change, as sighs and small moans began escaping her throat. The demon was pleased and encouraged to intensify the caress. He started sliding his tongue in and out her womanhood, feeling her becoming wet and ready for him.

A louder moan escaped Mai's lips, as she was finally woken up by a jolt of unimaginable pleasure coming from between her legs. Sesshomaru gripped her tights, not letting them go and did not stop his ministrations even for a moment. He was aware, that the woman was no longer slumbering and he had to get her to cooperate. At first she struggled, but her resistance grew weaker, as her sweet womanhood was getting unbearably hot, close to pulsing around his tongue. Her moans became louder and she spread her legs wider, willingly accepting the pleasure, Sesshomaru was giving her.

She tangled her fingers in his hair, as her hips began rocking, giving him a signal, what she needed.
Hastily, the demon pulled back to the sitting position. To Mai's surprise, he joined her legs. She opened her mouth, about to question his intensions, but he suddenly flipped her around, positioning her on all fours.

"Sesshomaru…" she began, but he shushed her, covering her with his large frame. He entwined his fingers with hers and brought his cheek closer to hers.

"Mai, you are mine now." He whispered sensually to her, before his erected member found her opening. She let out an excited whimper, when it slid into her core a little, stretching her pleasurably.

"I'm yours." She breathed out in a submissive way, that excited him even more. Sesshomaru could not wait any longer – with a powerful thrust, he slid his entire length into her heavenly warm womanhood, breaking her barrier.

Mai clutched the bedding tighter, as she let out a pained whimper, but the demon comforted her, showering her neck and cheeks with gentle kisses.

"I will move now." Sesshomaru warned the woman, who agreed by nodding. Slowly, he began sliding in and out of her tight core, that massaged his manhood in most enjoyable way. At first the pace was slow, but as soon as he heard Mai's whimpers of pain become moans of pleasure, he picked up the speed.

The inu-youkai pulled himself up, taking a hold of her hip. He growled from pleasure, when his eyes were set on the erotic sight of Mai's round backside slamming into his front, as he was engulfing in her time after time. She began chanting his name, as her release was near. Then it came.

"Sesshomaru!" she screamed loudly, as she trembled uncontrollably. Sesshomaru gasped, feeling her core pulse strongly around his manhood, making him join her, as the shot of pleasure coursed though his body, when his seed filled her womb.




Sesshomaru's eyes snapped open and he sat up abruptly, panting. He looked down and with relief saw, that he had his kimono still on. Carefully, he glanced at Mai, who was sleeping beside him. The woman was buried under the bedcovers, sleeping soundly as usually. Slowly, he reached for the covers and lifted them slightly. His relief deepened, when he confirmed, that she was clothed as well. The demon stared in front of him. It was a dream. Just a dream. The feeling of gladness was dominating, but it was tainted by a pinch of disappointment. Sesshomaru ran his fingers through his hair, disturbed by the horrible awakening. To have such a indecent dream about the woman… he barely remembered a similar experience, that felt so real. He must have been still an adolescent pup, when such humiliating things occurred. Speaking of humiliating things…

With horror, Sesshomaru looked down, removing the covers from himself. This cannot be happening. Hastily, he put the covers in place. He clearly remembered the dream's grand finale, but he did not suspect, that it would occur in reality as well. That was troublesome. The demon had to remove the evidence of this shameful accident before Mai wakes up. Unfortunately, not only his clothing was stained, but the bedcovers as well. She would find out once she would clean the cabin, folding the bedding. The only solution was to replace the covers with fresh ones. First, he had to get rid of the stained ones.

Swiftly, he changed his clothing. Then, Sesshomaru carefully snatched the covers, folding them. He froze, when Mai shifted in her sleep and put her arms around herself, slightly shivering from cold. The demon knew, that he had to act quickly, for she should awaken very soon. He snatched the troublesome evidence and stepped out of the room.

How should he proceed with removing it? Having some humans wash it would be too humiliating. Doing it himself was also out of question – such work should be done by women. Sesshomaru would not disgrace himself by such activities.

A sailor on the crow's nest furrowed his brows, as he saw the young master's fencing instructor storm onto the deck and throwing the bedding into the sea. The man tilted his head. Wouldn't it be easier to wash it?

Now when the evidence was gotten rid off, Sesshomaru could proceed to phase two – he had to obtain new covers. He headed for the easiest prey.

Akira jumped, waking momentarily, as he got stripped off his bedcovers. His eyes shot open and he saw his teacher, looming over him. He gulped, seeing his scary face.

"Um… good morning, teacher." The boy mumbled, trying to get himself awake as soon as possible. If the teacher was here, it must have meant, that it was time for the morning training already. But, it was pitch dark…

"Teacher, it's time for the training?" Akira asked unsurely, hoping that Sesshomaru would say "no".

The dog demon furrowed his brows, as the boy produced a suitable excuse himself.

"Yes, get dressed and begin by yourself." He commanded and left the room swiftly to cover Mai with freshly obtained one.

Young Maeda blinked and rubbed his eyes with the fists. Did the teacher just stole his bedcovers?
The sailor on the crow's nest shook his head, seeing the young master begin the daily exercise two hours before the sunrise. Were those people crazy?




Somehow, Sesshomaru managed to avoid being around Mai too much for the rest of the day, not being able to face her after the shameful occurrences of the previous night. He planned on returning to the cabin, they shared, after she fell asleep, but his impeccable plan crumbled, as during the late afternoon his trainee offered him a certain invitation.

"It will be a small party. There will be Sasaki, the captain, master Sekiguchi… oh and a few soldiers and maybe two or three sailors. I heard, that they were making decorations and the cook is preparing a feast." The boy kept on babbling, while standing on one leg atop the railing. "Please, come too, teacher."

Sesshomaru glanced at the boy, noticing that he was maintaining his balance quite well. About the invitation, he was not thrilled to spend the evening with humans.

"Do not be foolish." He responded, looking away. "I decline."
The boy looked at him with disappointment in his eyes.

"Oh." He muttered sadly.




"What should I do?" Mai wondered aloud, while pacing in Akira's rooms. The boy invited her to the party. She agreed, of course. Why wouldn't she? The girl bit her lower lip. She felt a little nervous, as she was never this kind of kid, who got often invited to parties. The last time she took part in something like that was when she was seven and her classmate invited her whole class for the birthday reception. She had to do something about her appearance, but what? She didn't have any spare clothes and couldn't even borrow it, for there were only men on the ship. She couldn't apply make-up either. Then, maybe do something about her hair. She stalked towards a big mirror and stared at herself. Her hair grew slightly longer, now reaching a bit past her shoulders. Well, she had the hairpin from Sesshomaru, but she couldn't wear something that expensive now. Maybe a ponytail? Pigtails? She quickly ruled the pigtails out and tried the ponytail, using the ribbons she found. Once done, she gazed at herself, satisfied with the effect. However, when she was about to leave for that party, she noticed something. Mai got closer to the mirror and stretched her neck. There was a loud slap, as she made a face palm. The damn hickeys were still there. Faint, but stubbornly clinging to her skin. She couldn't possibly show them to everyone, especially to Sesshomaru. Sighing heavily, she undid the ponytail and dragged herself to the deck, unhappy, that she didn't manage to change anything after all.




Mai nodded to Sesshomaru, as she was passing him by in the corridor, still trying to straighten her hair somehow.

The dog demon stopped by the door leading to their cabin and looked after her. He furrowed his brows, seeing, that she wasn't heading neither to the room nor downstairs, but to the deck, where the foolish celebration was about to take place.

"Woman!" he called after her.

Mai whirled around, straightening her kimono.

"Hm?" she called back, smiling sheepishly, as she was going to take part in her first party. Sasaki mentioned, that there will be music and dancing, so maybe she'd be able to get some fun. However, the dog demon wasn't looking that happy.

"Where do you think you are going?" he asked in a harsh tone. She made a gesture pointing the door leading to the deck.

"To the party. Didn't you get the invitation too?" she answered with a careless grin on her lips. Personally she was praying for the demon not to show up – with his usual attitude he would spoil all fun.

Sesshomaru glared coldly at her and began walking towards her.

"This Sesshomaru will not take part in such foolishness." He hissed out, approaching her, not taking his eyes off her. "Neither will you."

Mai blinked at him.

"Eh?" she uttered, surprised. Did he just forbid her from going to the party? That was just ridiculous… He was some evil stepmother from "Cinderella"? She pouted.

"Stay, if you like, but I'm going." She stated confidently, not wanting to be ordered around like that.
"You are staying as well. Do not disobey me." Sesshomaru insisted, adding a threatening tone to make her yield.

Mai glared back at him in a challenging way.

"Don't butt into my personal life! I'm going to that damn party and it's final!" she couldn't hold her frustration. Seeing her passionate outburst, the dog demon sent her a warning look, but she ignored it, as she usually did. The girl turned away from him and was about to leave, when Sesshomaru abruptly snatched her wrist, brutally pulling her back, till her back collided with his chest.

"Foolish woman!" the inu-youkai hissed to her ear, holding her firmly. "Do you not understand, that it is dangerous for you?"

Mai stilled for a moment and glared at him poisonously over her shoulder.

"Don't be ridiculous! Nothing will happen to me, everyone would be there." She retorted, before she continued trying to wriggle out of his grip. Sesshomaru let out a warning growl, but she ignored it again.

"Let me go!" the girl kept fussing.

Suddenly the demon pulled her hand, whirling her around, so that she was facing him. The startled girl looked at him with the wide-opened eyes. She yelped, when he pinned her against the corridor's wall, holding her still.

"Have you not noticed, how those human males are looking at you?" he asked her harshly. "They will use every opportunity to disgrace you!"

Mai furrowed her brows. Was Sesshomaru thinking, that all men were thinking about only one thing? It was unfair, that she wouldn't be let go to the party, just because the demonic asshole had such stupid demands, especially when he was the one, who was sleeping an inch from her!

"So you think, that all men are after my body?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.

"You are the only female here, after all." The inu-youkai replied positively.
Mai smirked at him maliciously.

"You know, what, Sesshomaru? You're a man too." She said, set on outsmarting the demon, as she couldn't win with him using her strength. "So maybe you have some weird thoughts about me too."

The dog demon instantly released her, turning his back to her to hide the bewilderment reflecting on his face.

"This Sesshomaru would never lower himself to such disgusting thing." He said, trying it to sound naturally.

Mai grinned inwardly, seeing her victory over the youkai boss. Slowly, she crept towards the door leading to the deck. She had the wide smile on her face, when she heard footsteps. She glanced over her shoulder and saw Sesshomaru following her.

"What are you doing?" she asked, ma king an unhappy face.

"Watching over you." He replied, avoiding her gaze as he pushed her forward.

The girl sighed heavily and dragged herself to the deck, thinking, that her hopes for having fun were just shattered. Really, why was the demon so overprotective?

Indeed, Mai's amusement was somehow tainted that evening. At first, the people were trying to socialize with her, but soon they got scared away by her watchdog's glares. Every single time someone approached her, except Akira and master Sekiguchi, Sesshomaru was sending them those murderous looks of his till no one wanted to even get close to the girl.

She hung her head, depressed. She was supposed to enjoy herself tonight, not feel like a prisoner. She forgot about dances, even her friend Soji was keeping his distance, frightened by the demon's intimidating aura. The decorations were beautiful, food delicious, but Mai couldn't swallow a bite, feeling like under surveillance. Damn that demonic asshole!

Sometime later the men began pouring themselves sake, offering some to her and Sesshomaru as well. The dog demon accepted and she did it too, not bothering, that she received a disapproving look. Mai reached her hand to get a hold of the cup and stared at the liquid. Actually, she never drank alcohol before. According to the strict Japanese law she should wait two more years, but now, in the feudal era, she was considered as an adult. Jaken even called her an old maiden once, so it was perfectly okay to drink it, right? She lifted the cup to her lips and tilted it, taking a fairly big sip. Instantly, she coughed and nearly spit it out – it tasted horrible! She couldn't understand, how the people could like such thing. However, everyone asked her with hope in their eyes if she liked it and she lied, giving them a positive answer, while forcing a fake smile on her face.

Unfortunately, behaving politely proved to be the worst solution, as Sekiguchi only poured her more sake. She wanted to decline, but it would be rude to not drink, what she had in cup. She decided to empty it quickly, to get over with it as fast as possible. She tilted the cup and drank it with one gulp.
Soon, the thing slipped from under control. She hazily remembered the old scholar chatting with her and pouring her cup after cup. She didn't even knew anymore, whether it was two, three or maybe four cups. Her vision was becoming hazy, she saw everything as though in slow motion. The people were chatting too quiet and too incoherent, her head felt so heavy… It was her last recollection of the night.
