Chapter 41 - Hair

*Perplex: Confuse: Deluge* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

Sesshoumaru could tell that something was bothering her. They'd been speaking cordially for a while when she'd suddenly fallen silent. She would glance in his direction before looking away and he wondered what was going on with her. The miko was such a perplexing puzzle. She would flirt up a storm and then suddenly clam up when he flirted back. It was as if she didn't know her own limits.

She became embarrassed easily but she would say the most forward things! What girl asks about a male's masturbation habits anyway? Not that he would mind her hand stroking him. No, he wouldn't mind that in the least. Of course he knew she wasn't nearly ready for something so intimate. Then again, she had allowed him to massage a good portion of her body and he had enjoyed it immensely. She was definitely confusing. Her actions and words were so conflicting that he had no idea where he was with her. He never felt on stable footing because of that conflict.

She would be so sweet and innocent and then suddenly overwhelm him with a racy comment, and that tone of hers, when she flirted with him it sent shivers down his spine. Waiting patiently while she grew more comfortable was torture, all because she was such a mix of innocence and seduction. Though frustrating, the game they were playing only made him want her more.

*Silver Stardust* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

Kagome couldn't keep her eyes off of his hair. It was shimmering in the moonlight with his every move and it was entrancing. That had always been her second goal, after seeing him naked: to touch that gorgeous silver hair of his. It was amazing how perfectly straight it was and how not a strand ever seemed out of place. Her hands twitched by her sides until she clutched at her skirt to stop it.

"What is wrong with you?" Sesshoumaru asked bluntly, mentally chuckling as she jumped at the sound of his voice.

"What? Nothing!"

"Something is clearly on your mind. Tell me."

Kagome sighed heavily while trying to decide if she could confess her desires. He certainly humored her often enough, so perhaps if she told him what she wanted he would allow it. She realized a while ago that she could manipulate the demon Lord without too terribly much effort and it certainly was fun. Maybe she could get away with not only touching his hair, but more. An idea struck her and she had to hide the wicked smirk that wanted to show on her lips.

"Sesshoumaru," she said sweetly, turning to look into his golden eyes. "Can I touch your hair?"

The taiyoukai was somewhat surprised. That was what she'd been fretting over for so long? His hair? Of course she could touch his hair! She was welcome to touch every inch of him. He ached for her touch and would enjoy this immensely, even though there was nothing truly sensual about her touching him there. Touching was touching, and the more she did, the more she would be comfortable and the more she would want to touch.

*Diabolic Waltz* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

Kagome rose to her feet, standing before the taiyoukai who was seated on a large rock. She reached out, hesitant at first, and allowed the silver strands hanging over his shoulder to slip through her fingers. She watched his face, seeing as his eyelids drooped to half-mast, and smiled. He wanted her to touch him. She was sure of it, by his response alone. He would allow her to do whatever she pleased, and so she would.

The miko climbed up on the rock and knelt behind Sesshoumaru. She once again ran her fingers through his hair, this time brushing his scalp with her nails. When the taiyoukai moaned, a shiver shot up her spine. She felt powerful, being able to draw such a sound from the Aristocratic Assassin. She repeated the motion, pressing harder, and he moaned louder. Yes, he would allow her to do anything she desired. A diabolical grin showed on her face as the miko set about her task.

She carefully separated his hair into sections, making sure to scratch at is scalp from time to time while running her fingers through the length of his hair. She didn't want him to figure out what she was really doing, not until she was a good ways into her project. Silence filled the clearing, except for Sesshoumaru's moans and purrs of pleasure at her touch, as Kagome carefully braided the taiyoukai's hair. He never noticed, too entranced by her touch.

When she was finished, the miko slid off the rock and walked around him to take in the finished product. She smirked at the taiyoukai who seemed almost as if her were slowly coming out of a trance.

"You look great in braids."

The way his eyes widened was something she would never forget, and Kagome broke down in giggles as she watched Sesshoumaru quickly undoing her work. He might not let her touch his hair again for a while, but the visual had been worth it. If only she'd had her camera.
