Chapter 149

A night to remember

“From what I saw, you are enjoying yourselves.” Sesshomaru said coldly. 

Mai’s eyes widened, as she stared at the dog demon over Shinji’s shoulder. Her husband looked like the incarnation of pure fury now. She panicked, as she realized, that he must have misunderstood the situation and thought, that she was cheating on him. 

Shinji whirled around and drew his sword, positioning himself between Mai and Sesshomaru, ready to defend her. His gesture only made the demon more furious. His eyes turned red and youki flared around his large frame. He looked directly at his wife. The girl shivered, seeing all the anger, disappointment and disgust in the eyes of the man, she loved

“Sesshomaru, I know how it looked like, but I swear, that…” she was trying to explain things to him, but the demon silenced her with a terrifying look.

“I’ll not let you take her away, demon!” Shinji spoke at the most inappropriate moment, trying to behave like a knight in the shining armor and foolishly challenging an infuriated Taiyoukai. 

Mai cursed in her mind, seeing, that Sesshomaru shifted his attention to the young samurai. His face expressed no emotion, but the eyes said all – the demon was readying himself to murder the human male. The girl was angry at Shinji, shocked and disappointed, that he managed to ruin both their friendship and her marital happiness. However, under no circumstances she wanted her friend to be killed by her jealous husband.

“Shinji, get out of here.” She said quietly to the samurai, as a dangerous green glow appeared at Sesshomaru’s claws – the demon was ready to strike. 

Shinji glanced at Mai over his shoulder questioningly in the precise moment the dog demon moved. However, the girl knew her husband well enough to react in time. She ducked under Shinji’s shoulder and positioned herself in front of the young samurai, outstretching her arms and shielding him from the inu-youkai’s wrath.

“Sesshomaru, just listen to me…” she began, but the demon was looking more and more angered and had absolutely no intension of giving her a chance to explain herself.

“Move.” He growled, glaring at Shinji.

 Mai gulped.

“Run.” She said to her now former friend, but he stood in place. 

Sesshomaru began flexing his claws, when the girl dashed forward and leapt onto the youkai, trapping his right arm in embrace. She ignored his warning growl and looked at the young samurai over her shoulder. “Run, you idiot! He’s going to kill you!”

Shinji stared at her for a short while. Then, he threw away his samurai honor and run away, as fast as his legs could carry him.

“Tch!” Sesshomaru hissed from irritation, seeing, that his victim was getting away thanks to Mai’s intervention. He glared down at the girl and grabbed her wrist, ensuring, that she wouldn’t escape him. 

“You have betrayed me.” He accused her. Mai shook her head, desperate to clear the horrible misunderstanding.

“No, it’s not like that! He kissed me on his own! I didn’t want it.” She was quickly shouting out her explanation, silently pleading, that Sesshomaru would believe her. However, it didn’t happen.

“You defended him!” he growled. Mai bit her lower lip.

“I just didn’t want you to kill my friend!” the girl tried to make her husband believe her. “I did nothing wrong.”

Sesshomaru looked at her accusingly. In this moment his demonic nature resurfaced, making Mai be afraid of the man, she loved.

“You were unfaithful. I saw it with my own eyes.” He said quietly, his voice tainted by a pinch of sadness and disappointment. 

Mai shook her head, not knowing, how could she make Sesshomaru believe her – he was too unreasonable.

“Sesshomaru, I didn’t…” she began, but the dog demon interrupted her.

“Enough excuses!” he bellowed, narrowing his eyes. “You just will not learn, that you belong solely to me, will you?” he said, more of a statement that a question.

“Sesshomaru he did it…” she tried again, scared by his extremely hostile attitude. 

However, Sesshomaru didn’t give her a chance to defend herself, as he grabbed her wrist tighter and forcefully pulled her towards himself. Mai yelped, as she slammed into his armor. His grip on her wrist was nearly bone-crushing. She looked at his face and trembled. She didn’t see her husband like that for a long time – he had a murderous aura around him, as he glared at her furiously. The girl seriously feared, that he would kill her.

“Let me explain!” she breathed out, wincing from pain, for his clawed fingers were painfully closing around her wrist.

“No need.” The demon retorted, hissing into her face. 

Mai felt sake in his breath, as Sesshomaru lowered his head to face her. “I will make you finally understand, that I am your husband!”

Mai opened her mouth, but she nearly bit her tongue, when the demon flung her over her shoulder and leapt into the air, carrying her to their house. The girl was too scared to struggle – he was freaking her out. She needed him to understand, that she was faithful to him and had been kissed against her will. The girl had a terrible hunch, that she wouldn’t live till tomorrow if she failed.

Sesshomaru landed on the courtyard of their house and carried her inside, kicking the door along the way. Once in the room, the demon unceremoniously dumped Mai on the floor.

“Ouch!” the girl yelped, as her body slammed against the wooden floor. She looked up at the inu-youkai, who was unfastening the leather straps, that supported his armor, not taking the furious eyes of her.

“Sesshomaru, what are you doing?” she asked quickly. The demon smirked at her, what made a shiver go down her spine.

“Once you carry my pup in your womb, you will not think of other men than me.” He said dryly, putting his armor and swords aside. 

He kicked his boots off and stalked closer to her. Mai stiffened at the words. He was doing it again.

“Sesshomaru, I didn’t cheat on you! He forced that kiss on me!” she screamed in panic, as he was towering over her. 

The demon was looking at her for a moment, as though considering if what she said was true and then took his haori off and unfolded it on the dusty floor. Mai was staring at his actions, paralyzed with fear. She could have tried to run, but it was pointless, since he would catch her in no time and drag back.

Suddenly, the demon yanked her by her hands up and placed her on his haori.

“No! Stop!” the girl screamed in protest, trying to escape, but Sesshomaru grabbed her neck – not squeezing, but enough to hold her still, when she was sitting on the clothes. 

He sat beside her and his hands moved to her shoulders, when he pulled her closer to himself. The demon looked her straight into eye.

“Tonight you will become mine.” He stated. Mai’s eyes widened, as her fate had been sealed. 

He would really rape her. She shook her head.

“Sesshomaru, wait!” she screamed, before the demon pushed her on her back and climbed over her, pining her wrists to the floor. 

His eyes were blazing with a mix of fury and lust.

“Silence, woman.” He muttered, lowering his head to kiss her. 

Mai defiantly turned her head to the side, determined to resist him as long as possible. The demon growled, irritated by her behavior.

“Look at me!” he demanded, but the girl refused to oblige. 

He let out an annoyed growl and snatched her both wrist in one hand, bringing the other to her face. Sesshomaru took a hold of her chin and forcefully brought Mai’s face to his.

“No! I don’t want to!” she kept protesting, feeling his hot breath on her, breath that reeked with sake.

She wanted her first night together to be a wonderfully romantic experience, a one worth remembering for the whole life. She didn’t want to rut on the dirty floor with a drunk demon, who wanted to couple with her only to emphasize his domination over her. Mai tried to struggle and scream, but Sesshomaru silenced her, covering her lips with his in a punishing kiss. She was twisting under his heavy body, clenching her lips, but the youkai wasn’t giving up and kept kissing her fervently, sucking her bottom lip and flicking his tongue over it, demanding the entrance, that Mai was stubbornly refusing.

Finally he pulled back, realizing that his ministrations brought no positive effect. Mai closed her eyes and let out a relieved breath, but it was way too early to celebrate.

“Stop!” she screamed, as the demon licked her neck and began delivering wet, sucking kisses all over the delicate flesh, deliberately leaving kiss marks. 

The girl was fighting with herself – she didn’t want Sesshomaru to take her like this, but her body couldn’t help feeling excited, as her husband, dressed only in his hakama, was passionately kissing the sensitive spot on her neck. No... it was wrong…

“Sesshomaru, no…” she protested faintly, as the demon slid the kimono off her shoulder, moving his lips lower. 

She clenched her teeth to muffle a moan, that was about to escape her throat. Then, Sesshomaru brought his face back to hers and brushed his lips against hers, before pressing them together firmly. Mai tossed her head aside, not willing to give up and broke the kiss. She glared at the inu-youkai.

“Are you going to rape me?” she demanded, sending the demon an angry look. 

Sesshomaru pulled back, sitting on his feet beside her and placed his hand on her belly, right under her breasts, preventing her from getting up.

“I would never lower myself to such repulsive act, Mai.” He said quietly, letting go off her wrists. 

The girl stared at him, massaging the wrists, as she was still laying on her back. She was baffled – his words said one and the actions otherwise. Suddenly, Sesshomaru yanked her upwards, placing her on his lap so that her legs were entwining his waist.

“Sesshomaru!” Mai exclaimed, startled by what he just did. 

Without any warning, the demon crushed his lips against hers and forcefully pushed his tongue inside her mouth, deepening the kiss even more, as he slanted his head. One of his hands was holding the back of her head, preventing her from breaking the kiss. And the other one was placed on her lower back, pressing her body closer to his. 

It took a while, till Sesshomaru pulled back. Mai tried to wriggle herself out of his grip, but he embraced her tighter, nearly plastering her against his chest.

“Forgive my behavior.” He muttered quietly. “It was unacceptable.”

Mai stilled and looked up at his face. He averted his eyes, as though he was too ashamed to meet her gaze. Mai relaxed a little, seeing, that Sesshomaru wasn’t so violent anymore. 

“Sesshomaru, he forced me. I would never betray you.” The girl said solemnly, looking into her husband’s golden eyes. 

The dog demon nodded, finally acknowledging her words.

“I could not stand seeing that man touch you. It was not my intention to hurt you.” He admitted. 

Mai sighed – her husband was a very possessive beast. He almost raped her out of the jealousy, but at least realized it in time. The demon reached out with his hand and gently caressed her cheek with his clawed fingers. He knitted his eyebrows, as though he was intensely thinking of something. 

“This Sesshomaru will not grovel.”

Mai blinked and stared at him, confused, for the last sentence made absolutely no sense to her.

“What?” she asked. 

The demon set his gaze on a ceiling and was not saying anything for a longer while. Then, he reluctantly looked in his wife’s eyes, his face expressing determination.

“Mai, will you be my wife?” he coughed out finally, the words leaving his throat with certain difficulty.

Mai blinked, staring at him. Was it, what she thought it was?

“You… you’re proposing to me?” she breathed out, in slight shock. 

The demon averted his gaze.

“It is a custom there, where you come from. I decided to respect it.” He muttered.

Mai’s mouth opened agape. He WAS proposing. Actually, the order was messed up, but he was asking her to…

“Yes.” She replied quickly. 

Sesshomaru looked at her and relaxed visibly. The girl put her arms around his neck and hugged him fondly. Then, her husband pulled her into a passionate kiss.

Mai slowly gave in to the pleasant sensation of the kiss, spiced with the taste of sake, hesitantly returning it, as her and Sesshomaru’s tongues played with each other in an arousing dance. Mai wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck tighter. Once Sesshomaru felt her resistance crumbling, he slid both of his hands down, to grip her hips. The girl was blissfully engulfed in the sensation of the kiss, when she felt the demon rock his hips against hers, holding her firmly, so that she could feel his erected manhood rub against the spot between her legs through the several layers of fabric.

Shocked, she pulled back instantly, panic in her eyes.

“Stop! What are you doing?!” she screamed, trying to push the demon away, but he didn’t budge. 

Sesshomaru smirked mischievously, never stopping his lusty hip movements.

“NO!” Mai kept screaming.

Sesshomaru frowned and stop moving.

“Woman, trust me.” He said patiently, gently stroking her brown hair in an attempt to calm her down. 

This was the night, when they would finally become one – he was set on bringing pleasure to his sweet wife tonight and celebrate their union. His anger and jealousy vanished quickly, leaving the sensation of fondness and desire. It was now or never. Sesshomaru wanted to rut with Mai right away, but decided to take his time to break her will to fight him. The youkai began massaging her wrists with his thumbs, showing that there was nothing to be afraid of and trying to coax her into surrender.

“Sesshomaru, you remember about our promise?” she asked quietly, bewildered by her husband’s enthusiasm. 

He nodded.

“I will not take you without your consent.” Sesshomaru assured her in a hushed voice. 

He put his hands on her shoulders and gently kissed her. Mai closed her eyes and tilted her head, returning the kiss. She thought, that it was okay if they kiss a little…

The girl was so enticed by the sensual kiss, that she didn’t notice, as one of the demon’s hands slid down her back. The youkai slashed Mai’s obi with his claw, careful not to alarm his adorable wife of what he was doing. Slowly, his hand made its way back to her shoulder.

Suddenly, Sesshomaru gripped the fabric of the girl’s kimono and slid it from her shoulders, removing it completely in one swift move and tossing it aside. Mai abruptly broke the kiss and looked down, startled, to see, that she was naked. When she gawked back at her husband’s face, she saw a self-satisfied smirk plastered across his face. Before she had time to recover from shock, the demon pushed her on her back, settling himself comfortably between her legs.

Panicked, she twisted under his heavy body, as Sesshomaru leaned to deliver another kiss. Mai hit his head with her own, but she only made a bruise on her own forehead. The demon pulled back a little, looking at her with amusement in his eyes, before kissing the aching spot on her forehead.

“My wife is so foolish.” He commented. 

Mai glared daggers at him, but Sesshomaru flipped it off and attacked her neck, kissing it enthusiastically, as one of his hands brushed over her side, tracing her thigh, moving  to hip and continuing the exploration of her body, till he cupped her breast into his large palm, caressing it. The girl yelped, feeling the surprising and unwanted sensation, although extremely exciting. She was warming up to his caress and she hated this reaction.

“You gave me your word!” She protested, trying to catch her breath, as Sesshomaru’s ministrations were making her body ache for him. 

The demon purred into her ear:

“I will not break it.” He said, tracing his tongue over the earlobe. 

Mai moaned, when he pinched her sensitive nipple.

“You’re just doing it!” she said, panting. “You promised not to do it without my agreement!”

Sesshomaru groaned, irritated by her constant protests, even though he was doing his best to bring her pleasure.

“I will not break my word.” He repeated, rubbing his still clothed member against Mai’s womanhood, making her shout in shock and protest. “Now consent.” He demanded.

Her eyes widened, startled by his impudence.

“What?! No!” she declined. 

“I shall make you consent, then.” Sesshomaru declared, moving his lips lower to suck on her exposed breasts. 

The girl’s breathing hitched, when she felt his hot, damp tongue twirl around her sensitive nipple. She tried desperately to pull Sesshomaru from her, but all her resistance was futile. Mai felt, that she was losing, as her husband explored her body greedily with his hands and lips – he sucked her nipples, making them unbearably hard, his palms roamed over her belly and down her thighs, while his lips kissed every inch of her skin. The girl was slowly giving in to his passionate caresses, being consumed by her desire for him. Nearly all thoughts of resisting fled from her mind, as she reached to touch his back, the muscled firm chest and to massage him behind his ears, making Sesshomaru even more aroused. It felt strangely, being touched by Sesshomaru in all those intimate places, but he was gentle and attentive. With Mai returning the caresses, he couldn’t restrain himself any longer.

“Consent.” The demon whispered into Mai’s ear, snapping her back to reality. 

Suddenly she realized where all of this was going and it scared her. She was afraid, but not of him, but rather of pain, blood and everything, that was supposed to come with a first time.

“No…” she protested, shaking her head frantically. 

Her husband smirked, amused by how stubborn she was.

“Consent.” He repeated, tracing his hand over her belly, moving it lower and lower, until he reached the sweet spot between her legs.

“Stop!” Mai breathed out, clenching her teeth. 

Sesshomaru flipped her protest off and wanted to stroke her to arouse her more, when he stilled, surprised. The girl blushed fiercely, wanting to die from embarrassment, for she knew what he discovered. The demon removed his hand from the apex of her legs to examine his fingers, that were dripping wet with the woman’s juices.

“You are soaking wet down there.” He stated. Mai’s cheeks flushed even more and she turned her head away, ashamed by her reaction to his ministrations. Sesshomaru twisted his lips in a pleased smirk. “It seems, that you desire me as much as I want you.”

Mai mumbled something, horribly embarrassed. She couldn’t deny – she was excited and she wanted him, she wished for him to do all those things to her, but was scared of it at the same time.

The demon reached to the ties of his hakama and swiftly undid them, sliding off the remaining clothing. The girl tried to protest, but the youkai muffled her cries with his lips. At the same time he took her hand and guided it down to his erected member, encouraging Mai’s fingers to wrap around it.

Her eyes instantly shot open as she felt his pulsing manhood. She tried to back off her palm, but the demon wouldn’t let her. Sesshomaru broke the kiss and pulled back a little, giving the girl chance to gaze at what she was holding in her hand. Mai’s eyes widened as she saw the huge member and she panicked.

“You’re not putting that thing into me!” she shrieked. 

The demon took a deep breath and lowered himself back, rubbing his length against her womanhood.

“Just relax. The pain will cease after a while.” He tried to calm her, but she was trembling from fear.

“It won’t fit!” she protested.

“It will.” Sesshomaru assured Mai patiently, kissing her neck to coax her into relaxing. His hand slid down to massage her womanhood.

“Ah!” the girl exclaimed at the sensation, arching her back and clawing onto Sesshomaru’s shoulders. 

The jolts of pleasure were shooting through her body with every move of his fingers, making her writhe under her husband, as the caress continued. Her breathing hitched, she began moaning and moving her hips rhythmically to meet his hand. Her mind was becoming blank, while she couldn’t focus on anything else than the pleasure, Sesshomaru was just bringing her. She definitely wanted him to carry on. Mai felt, that she was close to achieving the peak.

The demon groaned, aroused by her enthusiastic reaction, and took his hand off. Mai opened her eyes, ready to protest, and urge him to continue, but gasped, as Sesshomaru’s member brushed against her opening.

“Consent.” The demon whispered sensually, rubbing his manhood over sweet spot. 

Mai moaned, feeling his fingers part the slick folds of her womanhood. She wrapped her hands tightly around his neck, shivering from both excited anticipation and fear.

“Woman, consent already!” Sesshomaru growled, insisting on her giving him the permission to make her truly his wife. 

Mai bit her lip, feeling the head of his member already pushing into her, making her lose her mind. She heard the demon’s impatient growling again, urging her to give the permission. It was okay if both of them wanted it, right?

“Yes.” She breathed out and Sesshomaru shoved his entire length inside her in one swift move, making Mai scream in pain, as her hymen was ripped apart. 

The demon stilled, giving her time to accustom to him, kissing her to distract the girl from the horrible pain. The girl’s legs were trembling uncontrollably. The thought that the whole Sesshomaru’s member was in her, made the girl heart beat even faster. The feeling of invasion was weird and painful, but at the same was fuelling her desire.

After a longer while the demon began cautiously moving his hips, at first very slowly, to gradually pick up the speed. With each thrust a shiver was going down the girl’s spine. Mai’s cries of pain slowly turned into the moans of pleasure, as she spread her legs wider to give her husband better access to her womanhood. He was nearly completely retreating, to thrust the entire length back. The girl tightly shut her eyes, panting heavily, moaning and screaming from pleasure mixed with pain. Slowly the pain was going away, leaving only the feeling of pure bliss. The demon picked up the pace, at which he was thrusting himself into his sweet human wife, erratically piercing her with his huge manhood.

Sesshomaru was groaning with excitement, as Mai’s womanhood was tightly clenching around his member, driving him crazy. Feeling, that his release was near, he pushed himself in and out a couple of times more. Mai began trembling uncontrollably, the tears appearing in the corners of her eyes. Her womanhood began twitching. Sesshomaru growled, before gripping the girl’s backside and thrusting the deepest he could, as his member twitched, when the demon spilt his seed into Mai and made her cry out his name.

“Sesshomaru!” Mai screamed, wrapping her tights around the youkai’s hips, as she felt him filling her with the hot semen.

“Mai.” He said, gazing into her eyes.

Once he retreated his manhood, Sesshomaru pressed his lips tightly against Mai’s and kissed her gently, as though apologizing for all the pain, he caused her right now. The demon rolled off his wife, now in every meaning of this word, and laid beside her, kissing her lightly till she fell asleep from fatigue. He grabbed her abandoned kimono and covered them with it. Sesshomaru kissed her forehead fondly and embraced Mai tightly, falling asleep at her side.

A cloaked figure stood at the edge of forest, observing an old, ruined house. The stranger took out a small bottle and uncorked it, remembering the words of the witch:

"Drink it and for a few brief moments no one will see you, hear you or smell you. But keep in mind, that it will work only for five minutes."

Without hesitation, the stranger emptied the bottle in one gulp. Five minutes would be more than enough. The figure made its way through the courtyard, lit by the starlight, and confidently stepped inside. The stranger’s gaze lingered on the pair of lovers, joined in an embrace. The cloaked person clenched the fists, as the blood in the veins boiled at the blissful sight and stalked closer to them, feeling the barely controllable urge to end their lives here and there. However, the stranger backed away after a while. It was not how this was supposed to end. Killing them on the spot would not satisfy the burning and all-consuming desire for revenge. The cloaked figure came to its senses and swiftly retrieved the object, that was the target. Clutching the item firmly in the hand, the person fled the house, soaring into the sky and gliding above the clouds, till it reached the peak of the fire mountain, towering over the landscape.

The stranger landed on the edge of the crater and gazed at the unbearably hot magma. Then, with all the might threw the object, offering it to the mountain. The cloaked figure watched, as Tenseiga was swallowed by the waves of liquid fire, to be destroyed in the depths of Mount Fuji.
