Proposals and Pearls

Summary:

The results of when a particular priestess teases a daiyokai’s patience and his not so subtle proposal.

Notes:

Not entirely sure what to write here as this is my first time ever posting any of my writings, so please be gentle while I find my footing. But regardless, I hope you enjoy this short little smutty drabble.

Chapter 1: Knee Socks and No Answers

Chapter Text

Oh how she aggravated his entire being.

His thoughts constantly reprimanded her decisions, her very existence, all without saying a single word. Only casting his disapproving gaze upon her person as of late, to the point that the human female could only squirm when she was subject to his mighty presence.

But today, she had crossed the line for the hundredth and final time without needing to face his consequences. Today, he would have no choice but to vocalize his overflowing displeasure at the current state of herself; haphazardly dressed in a spring coloured kimono that brought out the reflections of her necklace, white linen socks that stopped just below her shapely thighs, with her raven hair half pinned up with a delicate hairpin.

All gifts he had bestowed upon her himself over their shared company no less.

“ Miko— “

His baritone voice roused her spirit before he took a timely sip of oolong while cerulean melted into amber; locked, hardened, unable to break free if she dared.

“ Lord Sesshomaru? “

She humbledly countered, unbeknownst to the effect she had upon the daiyokai before her.

“ You are tempting this one’s patience. Once again, your answer is required— no more avoiding what is to be your fate.“

He explained in a tone of warning. The chiming of porcelain only added to his dramatics as he set the now empty tea cup and saucer to the side. Focus now solely on her wavering body language.

“ I’m not entirely sure as to what you are referring to my lord, I am simply existing as I always do… “

The scent of her nervousness and lies only continued to dance the very fine line he had set as his boundary for that day. All the while she attempted to nonchalantly sip away at the herbal contents within her cup.

“ Do not jest with this one Miko— this Sesshomaru is nearing the limit of his honour and his fall into disgrace. “

Her face heated and eyes flared like she was cornered prey… which in reality, she quickly found out that she was, as he slowly caged her in by closing the short distance between them in one fluid move.

“ You don intimate gifts of this one’s choosing… “ He began, referring to her ornate dress and hair accessories. Callously touching the hanging jewels that cascaded down the waves of her hair, all while admiring the reactions he could pull from within her with such a simple action.

“ Even accepted heirloom pearls that span generations, and wear them to this one’s knowledge— daily… “

clawed finger tips traced the skin beneath the string of pearlescent stones, brushing against her delicate neckline as her lips parted in a failed attempt to form a sentence; only a breathy wisp of exhaled air could answer for her.

Thus he continued—

“ Yet, you will not accept this one’s claim to be the honourable… lady of the west. “

His direct words hit her deeply, as if she wasn’t expecting such a question despite the fondness that somehow festered between them— plus all the times he had already asked and she somehow managed to evade giving him an answer.

“ y-you know so yourself, I’m not much of the regality type of— “

Finally breaking eye contact for a mere second, feminine features betrayed her words with a burning crimson colour.

“ Enough of the excuses Miko, they shall not save you from this inquiry no more. You can not be oblivious forever to the affections that this Sesshomaru holds for you. “

With that pesky clawed hand of his, he drew her face nearer to his once more— now only inches away from her rouged lips, he was so close to closing the gap between them before the crack of thunder sounded from overhead, followed by the pitter patter beginnings of summer’s rain to officially break the heated tension.

But his undoing came in the form of the melodious song of her laughter. This reaction should have nudged at his pride, but upon feeling her hands gently cup both sides of his jawline; thumb pads grazing across crimson stripes with such expertise. Instead, his chest warmed with a sense of pride, knowing that he had indeed chosen right when it came to his little human Miko.

But then she quickly pecked the corner of his mouth either to distract him, or to drive him wild, before the troublesome woman scrambled out from his grasp and made a bare footed escape to the treeline.

“ Hurry— before you get drenched ! “

She called out once she arrived under the shelter of the treetops, her hand extended out to him in invitation; her hair beginning to drip with rain drops as the had quickly increased in volume without his care or notice.

Their arrangement of afternoon tea abandoned as he rose, his inner beast stirred within. Although she did not travel far from his presence, instincts were instincts as he nearly prowled after her in fixation to claim— dominate.

“ Do not get distracted by the weather little Miko— your teasing has become tiresome. “

He finally warned as he closed in on her again; this time her back being pinned against the base of the tree she took shelter beneath. His form towering over her with ease, as he guided her gaze back upon his own.

“Shall you please this Sesshomaru by agreeing to be the great Lady of the West, or shall you continue your little tyranny over this one’s heart? “

And with nerve, his Miko simply smiled as if she was debating on the latter—

“ I suppose that could be fun… “ She began with a subtle smirk, but she knew the answer to his question for some time now. It was just a matter of getting her affairs in order here in the village before she could tell him without risking being whisked away prematurely to her readiness to commit to such a change.

So with hands finding and helping themselves by resting against his chest plate, she continued.

“ But, you have been very patient with me for long enough— which I greatly appreciate… “

“ Out with it Miko— “ He interrupted with a rumbling voice, patience clearly washing away from his decorum with the falling of the rain around them, as he leaned in closer to her with mild anticipation.

“ H-How about I show you instead— “

Chapter 2: Golden bonds and Puny Humans

Notes:

Sorry that this update took so long to post. Moving with a 4 month old was no joke!

But regardless, I hope you enjoy something a little short and sweet before things really spice up

Chapter Text

Curiously, he stared down at the woman and her wicked suggestion. How a human woman could ever show him something that he did not already know about would certainly be a surprise to him. But the look in her eyes told him that she had something worth entertaining.

But then again… after she had left a teasing kiss upon the corner of his mouth like a scheming vixen, she may have crossed the line and found herself without his mercy.

“ You wish to show this one something that he does not already know— come now Miko, no more jesting. “

He baited while reaching between them both and expertly tucked away a stay, damp tendril behind her ear and ending his touch by cupping the side of her face and stilling her gaze with his. All before he moved in closer so that their bodies were nearly flush and he could slowly stretch his reach to her hip.

“ I’m being serious, because I have something that I want to show you— well, give to you. before I tell you my proper answer. “

She confessed before her hands moved between them and began searching the silky inner fabrics of her attire, searching for the hidden pocket. What should have been a simple task was evidently made more difficult by a particular Diayoukai nipping the length of her neck… not that she was complaining.

When Kagome finally found the contents that she was seeking and forced a breath of distance between them, much to his dismay. She slowly held up a pair of well cared for, gold bands— which he immediately recognized from his experience as a token between prestigious human partners, ones typically in positions of power.

And powerful together, they would be without a doubt in his mind.

Rotating the rings briefly between her fingers as memories of her family crossed her mind, the priestess quickly slipped the smaller one onto her finger before her focus turned back up towards the Daiyoukai and his heated gaze above her. Smiling fondly, she held out her hand to offer him the largest of the rings.

“ These belonged to my grandparents— “

She began to explain as he picked up the ring with zero hesitation to inspect the jewelry for himself as she continued to explain the significance.

“ I know it may not be as grand as the gifts that you have given me, but it was Jii-chan’s wedding band. Matching to my grandmother’s. When my parents got married, they also used these rings for their union… so I was hoping—“

She motioned by holding up the back of her left hand and showing him the delicate band of gold that perfectly decorated her ring finger.

” That when I become the lady of the west, I will also become apart of your pack, so it would mean a great deal to me that you also become part of the higurashi family… even if it may be kinda silly for you to be wearing jewl—“

Her stumbled words were silenced by his sudden kiss as the pride within both himself, and his beast, swelled upon restraint over her mentioning of his unanswered claim. But something surprising, though a very welcomed feeling, also stirred within him that she would want him to be a part of a family that he had only heard stories of. A feeling of great Honor.

And with that rush making his beast puff out his chest, the Diayoukai did the most human of actions and visually committed himself to his Miko by slipping the band on where it fit best— his pinky finger.

’Puny humans’ crossed his mind briefly before he captured her within his grasp once more.

“ If that is all that it takes for you to be mine, Miko— This one shall continue to hold the Higurashi name in the highest of status. “

His chest rumbled in satisfaction as he drew her chin up higher.

“ Then I wholeheartedly accept your claim Sesshomaru— I wish to be yours in every way possible… “

Her voice came out as the sweetest whisper, her hands returning to his person as they traveled up his broad chest and snaked themselves loosely around his shoulders. Her reward was a possessive growl as he captured her lips in a feverish kiss, only pausing long enough to scold her over the untimely manner it took her to finally agree to his proposal.

“ It is about damn time…little priestess— “

Chapter 3: Miko Harness and Puppy Leashes

Definitely got carried away with this chapter, so without further ado, I hope you enjoy my first attempt at pure smut.

Chapter Text

Kagome didn’t know which fell faster, the rain or their clothing as frenzied clawed hands made quick work of parting wet silk, while hands of typical precision and grace now lacked; too desperate to connect with polished flesh beneath ornate regalia.

It wasn’t until her kimono draped open from her elbows and continued to spill out behind her hips, that he allowed her to catch a deeply needed breath away from his all consuming kiss, but only for a mere moment and a hasty readjust to their position.

Now that supple thighs wrapped tightly around broad hips, the Diayoukai continued to pin her form between the base of the tree and his all too obvious arousal.

Easily taking the time to drink her beauty in selfishly.

From this angle the delicate balance of raindrops and pearl strings streaming down past her heaving chest, and the freeness of the Miko’s very ample petal coloured peaks, made his blood burn with an instinctual need to rut the female displayed before him. And had he been bred as a lesser demon, and not that of idolized perfection, he may have lost control over the Miko’s disheveled state and done so.

But he was patient for this long, he could savor his little human and embark upon her consequences for a while longer—

So with a lick to his lips, his voice stilled the priestess in his grasp.

“ Three years— three years of you playing this one like a foolish pup on a leash… “

He grumbled while still indulging his gaze over her body a moment longer, before he slowly closed the distance by trailing his striped hand up towards her sternum, sliding beneath the rows of pearlescents, and easily hooked her jaw with the inside of his hand to hold her chin to face him.

A sensation that riddled the priestess doe-eyed and captivated as she watched him with intense longing and a warming smile while he continued his lecture.

“ From the very first moment of our meeting. The boldness, and the pure disregard to hierarchy that you carry, has left this one endearingly waiting for your next move. While others have been killed on the spot for far less— Yet somehow, you remain and festered yourself into this one’s life.

Three years Miko. Of knowing that you are the only being capable of being worthy of this one’s title, to mother this one’s legacy— just for your continued games of rejection and tease. “

His voice dripped with a molten tone, as he ran the pad of his thumb across her parted lips. Only stopping his motions when he reached the middle of plush flesh.

Slowly, he leaned in to press his heated threats against the corner of her mouth, as she sighed out in pure content of his nearness.

“ This one’s patience shall be rewarded for such gameplay, ten-fold— and the prize shall be reaped and sewn back within your body until there is no more mistaking to whom you belong too… understood, Ka-go-me? “

That was it. His final warning for her to walk away from this unscathed, or to stay and become the very thing he can and would destroy the world for.

And for her, it was an easy choice.

But despite the obvious, her body visibly shivered with a wave of heat upon hearing her actual name coming from his mouth; a rarity that had only occurred once, early on during their companionship, which then continued to haunt her with dream-induced desire nearly every night since.

But to finally hear his voice call her by name again, in such an intimate moment, left the priestess’s body feeling heavy with need and her mouth hot with an undeniable craving for him and his impressive form; willing to bend in any way that she could take him, she’d have him.

So without verbally answering, her games continued to trek into dangerous territory as she instead ran her tongue up the length of the thumb that he had pressed against her lips. Her eye contact stayed precise during such actions, that the Daiyoukai almost found himself swimming within her bluey depts.

“ Fucking vixen— “

The exasperated feral growl he spat was her own sweet reward, before he released his hold on her chin and quickly captured her lips once more. Fierce and unforgiving.

His claws dug into the shapely curves of her thighs as he parted her with enough force to cause the priestess to gasp into his mouth. An opportunity that he did not cease, and slipped his tongue within. Wet appendages now greeted in greed to explore one another in a dance of need and dominance. A battle that he easily won when his little Miko bent and mewled in their mutually growing pleasure.

“ Sesshomaru— please~ “

Her voice whimpered when it became far too much for her body to handle without his further attention anywhere, and everywhere, it didn’t matter as long as his hands were on her.

Her hips began to unintentionally rock her hypersensitive, and very exposed folds against his confined length, body seeking the heat of him beneath the rich fabrics. Urging him to explore, to touch, to conquer.

“ Please what, Miko— use your words. “

He quipped as he began to nip and lick his way down the side of her neck. Standing completely still to tease her briefly, the scent of her anticipation, dewy citrus and honeyed spice, immediately assaulted his own senses with every motion of her grinding. Causing the edges of restraint to begin to blur at her hypnotic rhythm and whines.

Oh how ready she was for him.

Though he supposed that this would happen after years of ignoring baser instincts and depriving them both of the unavoidable fate that tied them together. But her next move caused a calamity against the steel walls of his composure when she reached between them, removed his already throbbing cock from the waist of his hakama and spewed the words of his undoing.

“ I don’t want to wait anymore— I want too… I need to be, please make me yours, Sesshomaru-sama! “

As if his sanity snapped itself into two, familiar gold bled crimson and signature stripes turned jagged when she directed his bulbous tip between her dripping sex with a hefty sigh at the pressure he placed upon her sensitive opening.

His inner beast easily slipped into control with a surge of his yokai and an oversupply of desire for their whimpering women; All former plans of savour and foreplay completely disregarded like the pouring rain around them.

“ That’s our girl— “

Gruffly, his beast cooed to their intended as he took over her unwavering rocking, and in one swift rotation of his hips, buried himself fully inside her aching core with a grunt. Tight. Delicate. His.

The sheer size of his length was mouth wateringly consuming, stretching her walls so perfectly that the priestess’s eyes lulled back momentarily while her body adjusted to accommodate every inch he graced her with.

With an agonizingly slow withdrawal, he pulled himself back before snapping his hips forwards again, testing the reactions of her body while pulling an elongated cry from the Miko.

So deep. Too much. All consuming.

He was smooth in finding a pattern from that moment on. Driving himself forward by her hitched voice of praise over how good he felt within her core, that when the first ripple of her sudden climax rocked throughout her body, he nearly fell to his knees at the surprisingly strong grip her quivering slick walls held upon his shaft. Yet he powered through and continued to fill her to the brim.

“ That’s it little Priestess— unravel yourself fully, we have you now, and for all eternity… “

His voice was ragged as he picked up his motions in a relentless fashion. Extending her orgasm until she was gasping and clawing her nails into his shoulder blades, all in a poor attempt to stay grounded amongst the bliss that was him, and this moment.

But just when her breathing was catching back up to her racing heart, and his thrusting smoothed into slow motions, the world as she knew it twisted and contorted around her as she soon found herself placed on her back and swimming in white fur. His mokomoko.

She was a rare vision beneath him, still closed around his cock as he caged her in once more. With inky tendrils sprawled carelessly around her, and decorated in layers of the precious gems of his lineage. His very blood raged.

Prefection. Beauty. Mate.

She felt him move within her again, building a tantalizing rhythm that allowed her to watch the way he moved in and out of her. But her view was cut short when he supported his momentum on one forearm, and trailed his right hand up her abdomen.

When his reach touched her necklace, the ebb of his power began to flow within; casting the pair in the unnatural glow of his light whip, as it surged and transformed around the Priestess’s body. Binding her in a pearlescent harness that had her reiki screaming from the sudden submission in return.

Her first instinct was to panic, but she knew she could trust him to explain before she totally found herself spiraling without the safety net of her powers.

“ What is this-? “

She questioned while tracing the glowing gems with her left hand; The shine of her wedding band didn’t go unnoticed by the Beast and the Diayoukai within, nor did the gentle bouncing of her heavyset chest as he continued to fuck her gently.

“ Insurance— for our beloved Miko’s purification is stronger than the energy it takes to form the origins of the mating bond. This— “

He pulls the end he had wrapped within his grasp taut, securing the energy within, before continuing his explanation.

“ Will temporarily suppress your reiki, just long enough for us to embed our yokai within your spirit, so that it may readily accept our claim.”

“Hot— “

She murmured with the lustrous look returning to her features that had the beast smirking with pride with how willing she was in taking him on not only physically but also spiritually.

“ Indeed— it is quite the ravenous sight.” He murmured down towards his meaning with a look that caused her legs to tighten.

“ Now prepare yourself Miko, as we do not intend to hold back until you are thoroughly mated and dazed by our greatness. “

Kagome would’ve laughed at his statement had it not been for the quick return of his frantic pounding.

But his words rang true. That he did not plan on being gentle with her, as he forced their proximity with a simple tug at the enchantment that encased her body— not that she was complaining in the slightest, as the action only caused him to reach deliciously deeper within her needy cunt.

“ For fucking Kami’s sake! “

She cursed and pleaded in near delirium as she attempted to match his thrusts with her own, the building pleasure of their connecting bodies sent her into a frenzy of emotions and feelings that all involved him and their time together.

Perhaps it was the initial building of the bond, since she could feel the pinpricks of tears forming in the corners of her eyes. But the wave of affection that pooled within her chest and between her thighs left her grasping for him to come closer; to which he indulged her with a series of heated kisses.

“ Say it Miko— Tell us what we have been longing to hear from those sinful lips of yours.”

He edged amongst the sound of flesh against flesh, his release creeping over him as his cock began to twitch and throb inside her. The moment of their mating looming upon them.

His knot was becoming more apparent now, as it probed the wet opening of her desires. Ready to spill his seed, and complete the ritual when she finally admits the three words that he had been waiting for.

“ I— “

“ Now Miko— Say it. “

He growled deeply, lost within the dripping glory that was her pussy, as his yokai spilled freely into the gems. Preparing her body for the mating bond to tether them together.

Her second orgasm was reaching the boundaries of her control before it overpoured once more, when she finally cried out the final key to seal their future.

“ I love you, I love you— Fuck, I love you! “

She chanted over and over, as her reiki flared and strained against the confines he had placed upon her. Her raw and untapped power caused his beast to let out a roar of abandonment as he chased her release with his own.

With one powerful thrust, his knot fully pushed against her tightness and entered roughly with a distressed cry from their female. Quick as he entered, his thick knot swelled to ensure their connection. And just as he began to spill heavy ropes of his seed into her womb, he swiftly bit into the top left of her chest; yokai spreading inside her heart just in time for the necklace to shatter around them in a blast of ultraviolet light.

Her reiki almost suffocated his senses when it was finally released to surround the pair, while his hips continued their motion of pumping in and out of her; only stopping when he was fully spent and she was shaking from pure delighted exhaustion.

Finally, the lunar mark of his house now painted her delicate skin in his colours as they always meant to. A perfect crescent moon now covered her heart in a clear display of her new title.

“ Mate. “

Notes:

PHEW—

If you made it this far, I thank you fully and hope that everyone enjoyed whatever the heck just happened, you little deviants.

Anyways, I’m not too sure what the intention of this little Drabble story will turn into, but I appreciate all the kind words regardless.

Until next time,

Chapter 4: Tea Time and Eternity

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

With the bond perfectly in place and nothing but the sound of their conjoined, laboured breaths, and the pitter patter of raindrops to surround them. The now mated pair basked in the serene symbiotic calmness that seemed to settle within their very bones.

The harmony of their union, a fragile spark of shared devotion for the moment, would one day light fully, and continue to burn eternally within their hearts as they strengthen the bond over time; A process that all mates experienced in the first decades of coupling, that will either create true mates, or extinguish with irreparable damage to the body and soul.

A valid reason why he had never entertained the mere notion of mating despite all of his mother’s dreadful attempts, until his path had crossed with his Priestess and was quickly willing to risk everything he had, just to place his claim.

Now here she was beneath his person, with the visible sign of his violet crescent marking slowly blooming over the top of her left breast. Completely his.

Even his momentarily sedated beast, damn near purred at the sight of it. But settled for a dull rumble to comfort their mate below; his knot now settled and leisurely being removed with a gush of their mixed release and her sweetened sigh.

Sesshomaru had known the force behind the bond to be strong, but he hadn’t initially expected the magnitude of the pull to be so raw and demanding. As if every single fibre of his yokai was now amplified and honed in on the soft waves of her reiki. A welcomed change, and a fast adjustment on his end to ease into.

But for Kagome, she too experienced the similar dance of power as the two energies of legendary proportions, now mingled and familiarized with the connection of souls. But in the way their powers now moved, was completely new and more fascinating than ever.

Before, she could only sense the aura of Sesshomaru’s yokai, when he let her that is. But when her reiki brushed against his yokai now, she could physically feel him. All of him.

And in exchange, when his yokai stretched out to meet her, it was as if his protective hands were upon her body themselves. She knew it would require time to get used to by further discovery and development. Not that she was complaining if it somehow led her to have him between her thighs.

“ That— this… all of it… is intense—- “

She muttered quietly between breaths, finally breaking the silence between the two, his quiet ‘hn’ of agreement soon followed.

Her shoulders shuttered with a wisp of amusement before she reached up and cupped both sides of his face into her palms, pawing his striking markings for a moment until she brushed her lips to his and kissed him slowly. Pouring her affections into his receptive mouth.

Part of her heart felt such relief now that the bond was settling into place, but the other half felt a speck of guilt for taking so long to finally give her consent to him. Thankfully, he had long before understood her caring nature, even witnessed first hand just how much the Miko tended, cared and contributed to the small Eastern village.

Although Kagome knew for what felt like ages, more specifically, since the wedding of his young ward two years ago. That she would one day agree to the Diayokai’s many subtle proposals. She just needed time to prepare first.

From that point on, between their sociable hours, Kagome spent every day training the young women to replace her as the village’s healer, especially after the passing of dear Kaede and a deathbed promise to continue to care for the villagers until Rin was ready.

A promise she kept until today. Rin’s final exam day, where she passed with flying colours just in time for tea and intimate confessions.

“Thank you— You know, for being patient with me and allowing me to be ready on my own… I may not be the most qualified Lady of the West, but I can at least promise you that I will try my best not to embarrass you. “

Her voice, sweetly sincere, washed over him as he trailed circles around her hip. Soaking in the beauty that was all of her, just as he would continue to do for centuries to come.

“ Just be you, Kagome— This one will ask no more, and no less, just you. As long as you remain by this one’s side. “

“ Always— “
