AN: this is the awaited sequel to Reclaiming Home. It'll still focus on
Sess and Kag, but will also focus a lot on Rin, Shippou, and Sess and Kag's
children. This chapter contains a short lime/lemon.
CH: 1 Family Life
"We're in a lot of trouble if we don't find her." The kitsune youkai said and tried sniffing around, but couldn't find the scent he was looking for.
"You don't really think that they'll punish us do you? I mean, I'm sure she's fine." A teenage girl said.
"I don't know Rin, you know how protective Kagome and especially Sesshoumaru are. We need to find her and soon." Shippou said.
Shippou began to sniff around some more, but it was almost as if she had completely disappeared. "I think Sesshoumaru's going to kill us." Shippou finally said after another half hour of searching.
"He wouldn't do that." Rin said, but she did know that he'd be furious and probably tear apart every single village until he found her.
"Rin and Shippou are so funny." They both turned around to see the goal of their search. There before them stood a little girl about four years old. Both Rin and Shippou gave a sigh when they saw her and noticed she was unharmed.
"How come I couldn't sense you?" Shippou asked.
"Sarah put on a con-con-ceal-ing spell haha-ue taught Sarah." The little girl, obviously named Sarah answered.
"Leave it to Kagome." Shippou sighed and picked up the small inu youkai.
"Were we like that when we were her age?" Rin asked.
"I think so, and now we're paying for it." Shippou answered.
"I don't remember having to go through this with Yukio-chan." Rin said as they started their walk back to the castle.
"Yeah, but when Yukio was four we were only ten so we weren't put in charge." Shippou answered.
"Rin and Shippou look tired." Sarah observed as they finally reached the door. Shippou and Rin just sighed in defeat. The child was as energetic as they once were and now that they were in charge of her they were definitely feeling what Kagome must've when they were younger.
Rin opened the door just in time to see Kagome walk into the main room. "Haha-ue!" Sarah yelled and ran to her mother. Kagome picked up her daughter kissed her forehead.
"I trust you two had fun." Kagome said fully knowing what they had been through. Rin and Shippou just mumbled something as they went to the dining hall where dinner would be served. They wanted nothing more than to go to bed, but they knew Sesshoumaru always wanted everyone to eat together.
"I think you wore them out, Sarah-chan." Kagome said to the small girl in her arms. The little inu youkai smiled looking adorable with her little fangs. She had long silver hair with a midnight blue strip in it. Her wide violet eyes spoke of her innocence. She had a dark purple stripe on each cheek and the symbol on her forehead was a mixture of her two parents'. It was dark blue crescent with a violet teardrop in the middle.
"Sarah is hungry." The little girl said and tugged at Kagome's kimono sleeve. Kagome giggled and walked to the dining hall. Sesshoumaru was already seated at the head of the table. The seat to his right was unoccupied and waiting for Kagome. Kagome took her seat placing Sarah in the seat next to her. Rin sat on the other side of Sarah and Shippou sat across from Sarah.
"Where's Yukio-chan?" Kagome asked looking at her mate.
"He'll be here shortly." Sesshoumaru answered.
Barely a minute later Yukio walked into the room practically limping. Kagome gave him a sympathetic smile, remembering how her training with Sesshoumaru had gone. Yukio gave his mother a small smile in return to let her know he was okay and took the seat on Sesshoumaru's left.
"So how'd you do?" Kagome asked as the servant began to shuffle in serving everyone.
Yukio just looked at Sesshoumaru. "He's doing well." Sesshoumaru said sounding a bit awkward being not used to giving others praise. Yukio smiled a bit after hearing his father's words knowing that coming from him it was a very important thing. His smile seemed to make him as handsome as his father since he had the same golden eyes.
Everyone began eating then. Kagome helped Sarah so that she didn't make a mess. Rin and Shippou were practically falling asleep in their food. 'I wonder what they were up to.' Sesshoumaru thought looking as his two eldest children though not of his blood.
"What happened to them?" Yukio asked pointing at Rin and Shippou. Sesshoumaru listened as well wanting to know what had happened.
"I had them watch Sarah-chan for me." Kagome said with a sly smile. Yukio gave a small laugh and Sesshoumaru held his in. They both knew how rambunctious the little inu youkai was and wondered how Kagome was capable of keeping up with all the children.
When the meal was finished both Shippou and Rin said they were going to bed and wished everyone a good night. "You should be going to bed also." Kagome said to Sarah.
"But Sarah's not sleepy." The little girl said, but the yawn that followed betrayed her.
"Come on." Kagome said and picked up the little youkai. "Say good night to everyone."
"Good night, chichi-ue. Good night Yukio-niisan." Sarah yawned out and snuggled against her mother.
Kagome walked around the table and gave Yukio a small kiss on the cheek and wished him goodnight. A light blush spread across his cheeks and he mumbled a goodnight. Sesshoumaru gave Kagome a gaze that seemed to ask where his kiss was and she mouthed 'later' to him. He couldn't fight the smirk that found its way to his features as she left the room.
"You should sleep. I will not be any easier on you tomorrow." Sesshoumaru told Yukio as he stood and left the room leaving the young inu youkai alone. Sesshoumaru was actually very proud of his son and was trying to compliment him more, but it was slightly difficult. He was not used to speaking in such a manor with anyone, but Kagome. He had not even spoken that way with Rin and Shippou. Kagome was the one encouraging him to be more open at least with in the family.
Yukio smiled to himself. He had noticed how his mother was slowly changing his father. He couldn't help but think what a unique women his mother was. He got out of his chair and winced as he stood. If his father was going to go as hard on him as he did today he was surely going to pass out before the next day was through.
He practically collapsed onto his futon when he reached his room. His dark blue locks that had flecks of silver strands fell onto the bed covering his face which had two blood red stripes on each cheek and the same marking on his forehead as Sarah. His honey eyes were glazed with exhaustion. 'I need a good sleep. Tomorrow's going to be hell.' Yukio thought.
Kagome placed Sarah onto her bed and gave her a small kiss on the forehead. "Sleep well, little one." Kagome said using Sesshoumaru's nickname for her. Sesshoumaru hardly ever called Sarah by her name because he had a slightly difficult time saying it though he would never let anyone else know that. Kagome remembered the odd look he had given her when she had named Sarah. Kagome explained that it was a different language and that it meant princess. Sesshoumaru just accepted it because it was what Kagome wanted and Kagome had found that her mate seemed to love to spoil her, which she wasn't complaining about.
Kagome exited the room and walked down the hall to the room she shared with Sesshoumaru. She could smell that her mate was in the room already. She entered the room expecting to see him in bed, but was pleasantly surprised when he playfully tackled her from behind and the two of them fell on the futon.
Kagome turned so that she was on her back and her mate hovered above her. His golden eyes shining in the darkness. He leaned down and kissed her letting one of his hands roam her body. "So what brought on this feeling of playfulness?" Kagome asked though she shouldn't have been shocked seeing as thought they were a very 'active' couple.
"We're leaving tomorrow night for the Southern Lands." Sesshoumaru explained. Kagome didn't really understand, but figured it had to do with the fact that they would be traveling tomorrow night and would not have a chance to get into such a position.
Sesshoumaru began to trail small nipping kisses down Kagome's neck. His right hand massaged her breasts through her kimono. Kagome arched into his touch and moaned. Sesshoumaru began to strip Kagome as her hands busied themselves with undoing the ties of his clothing.
When the two of them were unclothed their touches became more needy. Hands roamed over territory they knew well, but would never be tired of. Kagome flipped them so she was on top and began to lick down Sesshoumaru's chest. He groaned when Kagome reached his arousal and began to lick the tip. Kagome had by now learned all the spots that drove her mate wild and used them all to her advantage.
Kagome took his harden manhood into her mouth and Sesshoumaru's hands grasped at her hair as he felt the familiar heat pooling in his lower stomach. "Ahh...Kagome!" Sesshoumaru released his seed into her waiting mouth. He barely had time to catch his breath as he could already feel his arousal reawaken as she licked him clean.
After all the times they had been together Kagome added Sesshoumaru's amazing recovery time to the list of reasons why she loved him. He pulled her back up delivering a bruising kiss and tasting himself on her tongue. Sesshoumaru then flipped them back over so he was on top and without further warning sheathed himself in Kagome's warm body.
Kagome let out a gasp as she felt him thrust into her. She moved her hands to his backside pulling him deeper as she tilted her hips up as well. Sesshoumaru was on his knees thrusting into Kagome holding her hips while Kagome's weight was all on her shoulders as the lower half of her body wasn't even touching the bed.
She moved her hands to grasp at his biceps. "Oh Kami, Sesshoumaru!" Kagome moaned as he moved one of his hands to rub the little bundle of nerves that sent her blood on fire while he thrust into her. A few more thrusts and Kagome came to a scorching climax with Sesshoumaru not too far behind. He filled her with her seed and then using what strength he had left gently pulled out of her and set her back down on the bed.
Sesshoumaru lay down next to Kagome and pulled her into a tight embrace. "I love you." Kagome was able to get out before she yawned.
Sesshoumaru smiled and nuzzled his mate's hair. "I love you too." He whispered and kissed the top of her head. Kagome's breathing evened out as she drifted off to sleep, but Sesshoumaru stayed up a bit longer.
'I'll train Yukio hard tomorrow so he'll most likely be asleep during the trip and after spending some time with Sarah, Rin and Shippou should be asleep as well. That'll make travel much more peaceful.' Sesshoumaru thought. 'We will most likely see Inu Yasha considering his mate works in Kagome's castle. I could have him watch the children while we speak with Mira and Ginta. There has been talk of a growing power. With Kagome still protecting that stupid jewel, I have a feeling this has to do with that. Another foolish creature that wants the Shikon.'
Sesshoumaru fingered the chain around his mate's neck that held the Shikon. Many had attacked them and entered his lands in search of the Shikon. All met their deaths by either his hands or the hands of his mate. 'For once I have to agree with something Inu Yasha said. This jewel is nothing but trouble.'
Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome closer and fell asleep breathing in her sweet scent. He would not let Kagome get hurt over some stupid jewel. With that last thought he finally gave into sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yukio fell to the ground with a loud crash. He pulled himself to his feet just in time to dodge another hit from Sesshoumaru. 'The sad thing is I know he's holding back a lot.' Yukio thought to himself as he barely dodged another of his father's attacks only to be tossed by Sesshoumaru's tail. Yukio still hadn't gotten the hang of using his tail as a weapon. He crashed to the ground again just as Kagome walked into the dojo.
Kagome winced when she saw Yukio hit the ground, but she knew the training was necessary. She remembered when she had gone through it. Sesshoumaru was a very tough teacher, but the results were amazing. "Time for lunch." Kagome said much to Yukio's relief.
Kagome walked over and helped her son off the ground. "I can't believe you went through this too." Yukio said as he stood.
"You doubt the abilities of your mother?" Kagome said with feigned surprise. Yukio shook his head knowing his mother was a very strong youkai in her own right, but he still didn't see how anyone could survive his father's training. "Consider yourself lucky. I had to go through hell to be trained in a month." Kagome told her son. "And trust me, he didn't go any easier on me."
Sesshoumaru overheard the conversation and smirked remembering the many times Kagome's language had gotten very colorful when she had be training. He followed the two to the dining hall. Rin and Shippou came in next still having energy since they hadn't been out to play with Sarah yet.
Jaken had been the one to suffer and seemed as if he would collapse. Behind him bounced in the small inu youkai. Everyone at the table except Sesshoumaru laughed when they saw Jaken who was covered in flowers. Sesshoumaru merely smirked and pulled his daughter into his lap when she came over to him.
"Sarah had fun playing with Jaken." She said with a wide smile as she looked up at her father.
"It would seem so, little one." Sesshoumaru responded. Sarah gave him one last hug before leaving his lap and running to sit next to Kagome so she could eat.
"Rin, Shippou, will you give Jaken a break and watch Sarah until we leave tonight." Kagome asked when the meal was done. Rin and Shippou had a look of dread on their faces. They loved their little sister, but they just didn't have the energy any longer to keep up with her.
"What are you doing today, kaasan?" Shippou asked.
"I thought I'd train a bit today. You are welcome to be my sparring partner though." Kagome said with a smile. Shippou shook his head and grabbed Sarah and went outside. He wasn't a fool and knew that only someone like Sesshoumaru could handle being Kagome's sparring partner. Rin followed after Shippou.
"Well back to the dojo." Kagome said and Yukio held back a groan. Yukio stood and left the room in the direction of the dojo. "Perhaps you should go a bit easier on him." Kagome whispered to her mate as they followed.
Sesshoumaru smirked. "Not a chance." He said and started Yukio's training again. Kagome grabbed her sword and began to practice doing katas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yay, we're leaving!" Sarah cheered and ran around Kagome's legs. Kagome giggled and snatched up the little girl. She had never been to the Southern Lands before, because Sesshoumaru and Kagome had thought her too young to travel there till now so she was very excited.
'Well, I hope she likes it there since she might be inheriting those lands seeing as though Yukio will most likely get the Western Lands.' Kagome thought. She stepped into the carriage and laughed to see Rin and Shippou leaning on each other asleep. Yukio seemed as if he would soon be following as he was slumped against the side of the carriage half awake.
"Perhaps you over did it." Kagome said gesturing to Yukio as Sesshoumaru stepped in.
"He's still slightly awake. Your chore for Rin and Shippou seems to have been harder." Sesshoumaru responded.
"Perhaps for Yukio's training we should have him watch Sarah." Kagome laughed.
"Will haha-ue play with Sarah tomorrow?" The little girl asked from Kagome's arms.
"Okay." Kagome asked and then got a good idea. "And guess what chichi-ue will play too." Kagome said. Sesshoumaru's muscles tensed when he heard this. He had often played with the children at Kagome's request, but always felt completely foolish doing so. He just hoped that no respectable lord would be around and if a servant said anything heads would roll.
Kagome held back a laugh knowing what was going on inside Sesshoumaru's head. The carriage took off and a few moments later everyone, but Sesshoumaru and Kagome were asleep. She leaned against him and his arm went around her shoulder pulling her closer.
They headed towards the Southern Lands neither knowing the trials they would soon be going through. The sleeping trio had no clue of the events, that would cause them to grow greatly, that would soon be occurring as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Yes return home little miko-youkai. You will have no clue what to do when you see what awaits you.' A figure thought as she saw the carriage fly overhead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yay, I finally got around to writing the sequel that a bunch of people wanted. I wanted to say I did not take the name Yukio from How to Train a Youkai by Striking Falcon although I do love that fic and totally recommend it, but I found the name off a website, total coincidence. No plot has been finalized so if you have any ideas please send them my way. Hope you enjoyed the first chapter and please review.

Yay, I finally got around to writing the sequel that a bunch of people wanted. I wanted to say I did not take the name Yukio from How to Train a Youkai by Striking Falcon although I do love that fic and totally recommend it, but I found the name off a website, total coincidence. No plot has been finalized so if you have any ideas please send them my way. Hope you enjoyed the first chapter and please review.
