This is my last serenade. After tonight, I shall not love another, for none will be as good as she; none will capture my heart like she has.
Sesshomaru put down his pen and ink, before closing his journal. With a sigh, he rose from his leather office chair, and placed his black, leather journal in his briefcase. With a determined mindset, he left his office and made his way through the vacant building and to the garage.
It was easy for him to find his vehicle, seeing that it was the only one in the enclosed garage. When he had seated himself in the driver's seat, he slid the key into the ignition and started the engine.
He made his way home relatively quickly, seeing that it was almost two o' clock in the morning and anyone in their right mind would be fast asleep. But not he, for Sesshomaru did desire to sleep, for he feared what his dreams would bring him.
For many months now, Sesshomaru had been having the same dream over and over again. It was a dream full of forbidden desires that left him panting and fully aroused when he'd wake. Just the thought of said dreams, stirred to life a much hated burning desire, deep within his gut.
Sesshomaru cursed the memory which had triggered the dreams, cursed that beautiful moment when he had seen her before him, as naked as the day that she was born. Her back had been to him, but even so, that second of nude flesh had done more to destroy him than any other sighting of her.
It is forbidden. He argued to himself, but the monster within him cared not, for it had found its chosen mate, within the body of his beloved hanyou sister.

Kagome lie on her plush bed, listening to the newest, pop hit on the radio, while trying to figure out an algebraic equation. How she hated the subject with a burning passion. The teacher was too much of a genius to be teaching a bunch of juveniles. All he did was write the equation on the black bored and figured the students could figure it out.
She was pulled out of her musings when she heard the sound of a powerful engine pulling into the driveway. Curious, she hopped from her large bed and made her way to her bay window. Cracking the wooden blinds a bit, she saw her older, half brother's black Ferrari stop in the driveway. She watched him with great interest as he stood from his sports vehicle and made his way to the front door.
Within seconds, she was flying down the hallway, and made it to the Grand Stairway when he started to unlock the deadbolt. She waited until he had stepped in and relocked the door before she made her presence known.
"Hey Sessho," she called out from the top of the stairs, pure joy laced within her voice.
Sesshomaru froze when he heard the beautiful bell like sound of his sister's voice from the top of the main stairway. His indifferent mask sliding into place, he turned around to greet his awaiting sister.
The sight before him made him almost loose his composer. She wore a beautiful silk nightgown that only went to mid thigh. It had black lace around her bust lice and at the bottom, giving the garment an illusion of length.
"Why are you still awake," he questioned after composing himself.
"I couldn't sleep, plus I have a lot of home work to do," she replied, slowly descending down the Grand Stairway to where he stood.
Sesshomaru watched in a trance like state as her perk breast bounce with every step she took towards him, innocently seducing him to do things he would later regret.
"You need to sleep; you have to wake early tomorrow morning," he stated, turning towards the kitchen.
“It’s Saturday morning. Don't tell me you're losing track of time," she replied, coming to walk by his side. He said nothing, only set his briefcase on the counter when they had reached the kitchen.
"Would you like something to eat," he asked, opening the refrigerator and taking out a dish of seasoned meat.
"I think I'm going have some cereal," Kagome replied, going to the pantry and grabbing a box of her favorite 'just-add-milk', midnight snack.
Sesshomaru watched her quietly as he waited for his food to be done heating in the microwave. When the machine beeped that annoying sound, he removed the platter and made his way to the table and took his seat across from her.
"Don't you want any sauce," Kagome asked, after she had swallowed a rather large spoonful of cereal.
"No, if meat is seasoned correctly, then sauce is not needed," he stated simply
"Oh," she replied simply, before eating another spoonful of her cereal.
They finished their meal in a comfortable silence, neither of them having much to say. When Kagome was done, she picked up her bowl and rinsed it off in the sink before placing it in the dishwasher. Sesshomaru did the same with his plate before they both left the kitchen.
"Hey, Sessho," she called out from about halfway up the stairs.
"Yes," he asked, turning to face her from where he stood down the hall.
She paused for a moment, as if contemplating what she was going to say. He watched her with amusement as her emotions flew passed her features before deciding on what to say.
"Don't stay up to late, okay," she said with a smile on her face.
He nodded his head and turned from her, heading down the hallway towards his rooms in the West Wing.
Kagome watched him walk away from her before she too turned and headed up the stairs towards her rooms in the East Wing.
When Sesshomaru reached his rooms, he instantly turned towards his bathroom and closed the door. Now, finally alone, he turned on the water faucet and waited for the water to run hot. He removed his black, designer suit and tossed it in the dirty laundry hamper for the maids to wash later.
He turned back to the running water and tested it with a clawed hand, seeing that it was the right temperature; he stepped into the small, humid room and closed the glass door behind him. The hot water ran down his skin and soaked his mane of blue-white hair.
Here, in his own Wing, Sesshomaru let himself grow to his full size, no longer able to hold back the burning desire blazing through his body. He closed his eyes and let the water beat softly against his face. He was exhausted from the long days in the office and the little sleep that he was able to catch between shifts.
Sesshomaru picked up his shower gel and began to wash the dirt and sweat from his skin. He ran his hands over his arms and shoulders, working his way down to his abs. He paused at his lower torso, and his desire burning between his muscular thighs.
After a great battle with himself, Sesshomaru threw his pride to the wind and closed his eyes. He leaned one arm against the shower wall and rapped his other hand around his throbbing girth.
With his mind's eye, Sesshomaru watched as she knelt before him, on her knees and her small hand working his throbbing erection. He watched as her thin fingers disappeared between her thighs, letting out little womanly moans as she pleasured herself.
"Kagome," he whispered her name as he tightened his hand around his pulsating manhood.
In his mind, he saw her lying before him, withering beautifully from the pleasure he drove into her. He quickened his pace until he could take it no longer and let go of all his built up control. With a loud groan, Sesshomaru fell to his knees as the last of his seed left his body, to flow into the shower's grain.
He felt peace after his release, but utterly disgusted with himself at the fact that he had thought of his beautiful sister in the processes. Rising, Sesshomaru finished washing his body before turning off the shower and drying himself off with an over sized towel.
Leaving his bathroom, he walked into his closet and grabbed a pair of silky pajama bottoms before unmaking his bed, and crawling in for the night. The feel of the cold silk against his heated flesh was a nice contrast and soon Sesshomaru found himself lost in the Realm of Dreams.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome lay in her bed, fully awake, but wanting to go back to sleep. It was nine o'clock on Saturday morning and the last thing she wanted to do was get out of bed.
When the phone on her night stand began to ring, she groaned and pulled a feather pillow over her head for a moment before she reached over and grabbed the phone off its receiver.
"Hello," she questioned harshly.
"Good morning, Princess, did you sleep well," she heard her Father ask from the other end of the line.
"I was," she replied, pushing the large pillow off her head and rolling onto her back.
"I'm sorry I had to wake you, but it's almost ten in the afternoon, and you must get up sometime. When you're ready come down stairs and ask Kaede to fix you some breakfast. Your Mother and I are going out this morning. She wants to pick up some new curtains to the main hall, something about them being out dated. Anyway, Inuyasha went out earlier with Kikyou and Sesshomaru is still sleeping from last I checked. Could you wake him around noon for me, please?"
"Sure, Dad, I guess I'll see you tonight," Kagome said with a yawn.
"Yes. I'll see you later then."
An audible click was heard from the other end before Kagome, too, hung up the phone. With a groan, she rolled out of bed and went down stairs and into the kitchen. There, she found Kaede already busy making her breakfast.
"Good morning," Kagome said groggily, taking a seat at the counter.
"Good morning, child. I trust you slept well," she spoke while she flipped a fluffy looking pancake.
"Yeah," Kagome replied, resting her chin in her hand.
"So did your brother, Sesshomaru. He's still sleeping, I believe," Kaede poured Kagome a glass of milk and set it on the marble counter in front of her, before going back to the scrambled eggs she was currently preparing.
"Yeah, he is. Dad called me from his study and told me to wake him up around noon. He's been working a lot at the office this last month. Even when I stay up late during the week, I'm never up when he gets home," she took a sip of cold milk and almost purred at the yummy taste of it.
"Your brother is a very important man to your Father. Sesshomaru has much to learn, if he is going to inherit the whole Western Realm," Kaede grabbed a plate from the cupboard and placed two pancakes and a large serving of eggs before the teen.
"I know. It's just that I miss having by brother around. It’s like ever since I turned fifteen, he's completely ignored me. We used to do everything together, now he just works," Kagome said, before shoving a fork full of eggs into her mouth.
"Sesshomaru started learning how to run your Father's company about that time, two years ago."
"Yeah, Sesshomaru gets to works his butt off for two years while Father plays around," Kagome mumbled under her breath.
"Kagome, you shame yourself, child," Kaede scolded before returning to her task of cleaning up the dishes.
"Sorry, it’s just that it’s not fair. Dad's acting like he's on vacation or something, while Sessho has to do all the work. I think his hair is turning gray instead of white," Kagome laughed before placing her dirty dishes in the sink for Kaede to clean.
"Thanks for breakfast, Kaede, it was really good," Kagome yelled as she began she way back up to the rooms to take a nice, hot shower.
Kagome didn't waste time in the shower, wanting to get on with her day, and she had to wake Sessho up before it got too late. He wouldn't be happy if he woke up around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Once she was dressed in a simply, white skirt that went to mid thigh and a cute blue tank, she made her way down the grand stairway, and down the West Wing towards her older brother's rooms. When she reached his door, she knocked softly and waited for a reply. When none came, she softly turned the door's knob and stepped into the full darkness of the room.
Sometime ago, Sesshomaru had ordered special curtains to block out the sunlight, so he would have an easier time falling asleep at night and staying asleep during the days when he got home from work late.
She hesitated at the window, thinking about throwing open the blinds and letting the sunlight hit him full force. Thinking that it would only make him angry, she walked back around to the side of his bed and easily found his lamp. She pulled the metal chain and the room was instantly greeted with a soft light.
Sesshomaru lie on his back, his silk sheets resting softly on his chiseled abs. Kagome sat on the edge of the bed and watched as his chest rose and fell with every breath he took. Following the muscles down his chest, her bright, blue eyes landed on his belly button, where a soft trail of fine, silver hairs grew.
Before she realized what she was doing, Kagome's fingers softly followed the path down to where it disappeared beneath his silk pants. Sesshomaru stirred softly in his sleep for a moment, but nothing else.
Thinking it okay to proceed with her innocent ministrations, Kagome brought her hand up to his face and brushed away a few bangs from his eyes before tracing the moon-shaped marking on his forehead with the tip of her finger.
"Kagome," she heard him whisper her name in his sleep state. To say she was shocked was an understatement when she felt his strong arms wrap around her narrow wait, and pull her into his hard chest.
Kagome froze where she lie in Sesshomaru's bed, with his arms wrapped so soothingly around her. Hating herself for it, Kagome leaned into his neck and began nuzzling his smooth skin.
Sesshomaru released a soothing rumbling from deep in his chest, before pulling her closer into his chest. Kagome sighed into the chest of her sleeping brother and relaxed in his much welcomed embrace. She looked up into his face and froze at the sight before her.
Sesshomaru glared down at her with burning red eyes. His beast had taken over for some reason and the thought made her blood run cold.
"Sesshomaru," she questioned softly, not knowing what to do.
His reply was a fierce growl as he tightened his grip around her much smaller body. As Kagome stared into the eyes of her possessed brother, she felt something between them grow and harden against her stomach.
"Sessho," she begged. Within seconds, she found herself staring at the ceiling of her brother's room, cold wood at her back. Quickly jumping to her feet, she was fast enough to catch the sight of her brother fleeing into his bathroom.
"Sesshomaru, what's wrong," she cried from the other side of the door.
"Leave, now," screamed back Sesshomaru, as she felt his large body collide with the wooden door.
Within seconds, Kagome was running down the halls of the Western Wing, fleeing to the East.
