On the back of the horse, with her arms wrapped tightly around Miroku's waist, she felt more alone than ever before. She had just heard her mate being pleased by another female while he pleased her in return. Her heart was crushed by this & it was taking everything she had within not to cry.
Miroku had the horse moving at a pace that wouldn't exhaust the horse too quickly & would give Catriona any peace she might need to think. -She hasn't said a word since we left the castle,- he thought. -She was in & out so quick that I can't help but wonder what happened.-
-I should've stayed with Inu Yasha,- she thought. -Too late to go back to him now, he's probably too pissed to even look at me...-
"Catriona," Miroku spoke, turning his head to look back at her, "would you like to stop somewhere?"
"That would be nice, Miroku," she replied, looking up at his face. "Village?"
Miroku nodded & turned the horse slightly, knowing of a nearby village.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Upon arriving at the village, Miroku & Catriona were greeted with warm welcome, since it was a village Miroku had helped protect when he was younger. They were given a small hut in the middle of the village & told when the village was holding their dinner.
Inside the hut, Catriona settled onto a bedroll & stared up at the ceiling, wondering what she was going to do. When Miroku walked in after talking with the priestess, who hired his assistance last time, Catriona didn't look at him.
It was only when Miroku cleared his throat that she looked at him. "Catriona would you liked to talk about what went on in the castle?" He asked as he lay on the bedroll next to hers.
No longer able to hold back her sadness, she rolled over & buried her face in the crook of his neck & shoulder. The moment she had her face there, all of her pain broke loose & she began crying softly, then harder when the release of emotions settled in.
Miroku hesitated a moment before he slid his arm around her waist, holding her close. -What did he do to you?- He thought bitterly before he let his body relax against her, enjoying the feel of having her in his arms.
"I wish I never went there," she finally sobbed out.
"Catriona, what happened in there?" Miroku asked, rubbing her back. He wiped away some of her fallen tears when she brought her head up.
"He was having sex with someone called Chimei-teki. Lady Chimei-teki," she answered before she began crying again.
Miroku felt anger building up inside of him but he held it back for Catriona�s sake. "I'm so sorry Catriona," he whispered.
"I seriously don't need this right now," she cried out before burying her face in his chest, crying harder.
"It'll all be okay, Catriona," Miroku whispered, kissing her forehead softly. He held her for a long time, rubbing her back softly to try his best to make her feel even the slightness bit better.
What happened next, confused, yet pleased Miroku.
As she pulled her head back, & he moved to place a kiss on her forehead, they ended up pressing their lips together when she leaned her head back. Part of him told him that it wasn't right, but the other half of him urged him to go on, to enjoy the moment while he could.
Catriona deepened the kiss & ran her fingers through his hair, pausing a moment at the back of his head to remove his hair from the miniature ponytail. She heard him moan when she gently gripped his hair & tugged lightly. When he pulled her tighter against his body, she deepened the kiss further; moaning softly as he slid his tongue inside her mouth in a passionate assault that stole her breath away.
Miroku felt his cock rising to hardness underneath his robes, pressing against her thigh. He moaned into the kiss when she slid her hand between their bodies & wrapped her hand around his hardening member under his robes. He broke the kiss & kissed down her neck, stopping to bite & suck softly on her pale, delicate skin. Hearing her moan made his cock grow harder & he thrust slightly against her touch.
Catriona pulled away from him long enough to undo his robes & push them off his shoulders, exposing his body to her. She helped him untie her obi & allowed him to remove her kimono that was given to her when they were welcome into the village. "Miroku," she moaned after a soft gasp when he reached down & rubbed her clit; at the same time, moving his mouth to her neck, biting down on the sensitive muscle there. Her hips thrust against his hand, while her grip on his cock tightened & she began pumping her hand on his cock.
Miroku moaned softly as she responded to his touch like she had. "Catriona," he moaned softly. "Are you certain you want this?"
"Yes," she answered in a whimper as she bucked her hips against his hand. She didn't push him away as he pressed her gently onto her back & shifted his body to between her legs, his erect member pressing against her inner thigh. She looked up into his eyes & reached between them, spreading her folds for him as he wrapped his hand around his cock & pressed the head into her.
Miroku bit back a soft moan as he slowly thrust his entire length inside of her & was welcomed by Catriona wrapping her legs tightly around his waist & pulling him in as deep as her body allowed. After staying there for a moment, to revel in the fact of being in her body again, having her inner walls clench desperately at his already throbbing length, he began to withdraw from inside her, only to thrust back in when he had pulled almost completely out.
"Miroku," she moaned softly as she rose her hips against his deep, penetrating thrust.
As they took up a matching rhythm, Catriona arched underneath him, her body writhing with pleasure under the skilled houshi. As he rested his head at the spot where her neck & shoulder met, Catriona placed her hand on the back of his head, resting it there as her other hand raked nails down his back. His reaction was a deep thrust that touched deep within her body, sending a tremendous wave of pleasure though her.
"Catriona," Miroku moaned, raising his head from the crook of her neck & shoulder, looking into her eyes. "I love you, my precious sweet," he spoke, before kissing her deeply.
She returned the kiss, arching her hips up to his as he buried his cock hilt deep inside her yet again, sending pleasure rippling through her. As he began fucking her harder, making her moan into their kiss, Miroku came deep inside her, burying his cock hilt deep, Catriona arched her hips against his, crying out his name as the pleasure from her orgasm washed over her, drowning her in pleasure.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Catriona waited until Miroku was should asleep before slipping from the hut & running as silently as she could down to the lake. At the lake, she collapsed to her knees & panted heavily. The scent of sex clung to her body & it was more than she could stand. It was enough to make her want to jump in the freezing water & try to wash it away.
When the feeling of being watched washed over her, Catriona placed her hand on the hilt of Inmetsu; which she tucked between her kimono & obi when she left the hut. She slowly turned her head in the direction of the woods, slowly rising to her feet at the same time, & found her eyes meeting with a pair of glowing red eyes.
