p class="MsoNormal"Chapter One Preparations/p
p class="MsoNormal"Sesshomaru-Inu-no-Taisho walked through the palace of the moon his long silver hair rippled behind him as he walked to his quarters. Outwardly he appeared indifferent his usual mask in place. But inwardly he was a wreck. Never had he pictured himself taking a mate for he had at one-time deemed all females weak, seeing as his hate for humans was even greater than his hate for women he had never pictured himself to plan on taking a human woman as a mate. He had come to realize that what one thinks one will do and what actually comes to be is rarely the same thing./p
p class="MsoNormal"It had been three years since he had met the woman he now planned on taking as mate before the year was out. In those years he had watched as she developed from a girl with little training into the strongest Miko since Midoriko She was loyal to her friends and allies to the point she often resembled an Inu female in her actions. Strong enough to put his brother in his place as an Alpha female should. She nurtured the pup she had adopted as her own proving she would take care of any pups that she would have at a later date. She was smart unlike all the females and many of the males he knew even in nobility. Her scent was pleasing as well having been able to calm his beast since the day she met him. Sesshomaru had always got what he wanted and he wanted the Pure Miko as his own./p
p class="MsoNormal"He planned on retrieving her soon but first, he must ensure that everything was ready for when she would join him. He had expanded his own living quarters to ensure she would be comfortable in their room. His room was large with silver walls and royal blue curtains over the window facing the west. His balcony had a huge silver door that had a royal blue curtain pulled over the glass so the sun wouldn't disturb their rest. His bed that sat in the middle of the room was double the size of a normal bed and had royal blue silk sheets, as well as a royal blue soft blanket with silver trim that was tucked in gently around the edges showing the care he had placed in making their bed for he hadn't allowed his servants to do so. The main pillows where large with a royal blue case that had silver trim. The headboard of the bed was made from a silver alloy stronger than normal. Thick silver wires twisted and turned across the headboard looking to be the branches of a giant oak tree. The top of the oak tree's silver branches reached to the very top of the broad silver outline of the headboard. Under the giant oak tree sat a small human woman whose back was rested against that of a giant silver inu. If one studied the picture of the two they would see that the picture was truly a picture of the Human Miko Kagome and his own true form./p
p class="MsoNormal"The bed also contained royal blue cylinder pillows that were silver trimmed at the ends and had silver embroidered SK. Beside the bed on one side was a black wood chest that had a large S carved into it on the top of the wooden chest along with crescent moons that interlocked all the way along the lid. On the other side of their bed was a silver wooden chest that had a K engraved on the top of the lid along with crescent moons that entwined with a bow and arrow all the way along the lid. Beside the chest was a silver Vanity that was threefold with a left, center, right mirror and side. On the center mirrors, top was a crescent moon engraved at the top of the mirror. On the vanity sat a black and silver brush and set of combs. Besides the brush and combs sat a large silver jewelry box that was black, silver, royal blue, and royal purple, on the top of the box was an engraved crescent moon next to an expensive looking bow. The case held some of the most expensive gems he could find that he believed would complement his mate's complexion. The drawers of the vanity held many hair accessories that would be used in the hair of his mate whenever he was forced to attend a formal gathering. It held everything from bejeweled combs to ropes of exquisite jewels to be braided amongst his little mate's hair. The other drawer held make-up of every kind so that she could do her face as ladies where so fond of. On his side of the bed, he had a black wood side table with a black lantern that he could blow out so he could sleep after he finished reading without disturbing his mate. He had a silver one commissioned for his little mate just in case she wished to do the same./p
p class="MsoNormal"On the other side of the room sat a black desk with a large royal blue cushioned chair. The desk had paper, pen, and ink upon it so that he could work in his chambers should the need arise. Around the black desk, he had placed blue and silver cushions so that she could be comfortable while he worked. Upon finding out that his mate seemed to be learned and enjoyed writing as well he had added a silver desk beside his own so that they could work together in the piece of their room. He had expanded his own closet so that he could fit her clothes within. He had kimonos of all shades of color, every color, pattern, and scheme that he could find. They were all made out of only the finest cloth so he would never have to worry about her delicate skin coming to harm within her clothes like many other women had for the poorly made clothes irritated their skin. He had added boots like his beat to the point that they were softer than the softest leather and silk slippers./p
p class="MsoNormal"Upon learning of her love to bathe he had expanded his own personal bathing chambers so the two could enjoy a bath together at the end of the day. Bathing salts, oils, lotions and every other bathing material had been added to his bath chamber so that she would never be without comfort. The kitchen was to be stocked with all kinds of human food so that she would not be hungry at any time. He had prepared the rooms for his brother's pack as he knew they would be joining his own pack. He planned on gathering the half breed and announcing him as his beta. The dojo had been expanded to accommodate the varying needs that would meet his new pack, Archery for his mate, a field for his mate and the monk and a clearing for the slayer and his brother. Soon everything would be in place./p
p class="MsoNormal"Two weapons where being commissioned for the use of his mate. One was a bow made from demon bone like the weapon of the slayer and the other was to be a sword crafted from his and his brother's fangs. The bow was being crafted by a player he had captured raiding his village before the slayers own village had been destroyed. As a gift to his mate, he would release the slayer into the care of the older slayer after the bow was commissioned. As the law of the land stated he would brand her as the property of the west but allow her free roam as long as she kept the rules he placed forth./p
p class="MsoNormal"Once the weapons where crafted he could finally retrieve his mate as he had so long wished for./p
p class="MsoNormal"The Laws of Inu Courting and Mating Rituals/p
p class="MsoNormal"Claim/p
p class="MsoNormal"Claiming is essential in the courting process. To claim a female the male must place his scent on the female's body. His scent will remain until she is claimed by one stronger than her or he revokes his claim upon the female. Claiming is a sacred act to both male and female dating from that days when females were sparse and the males had to fight for them. Once a female is claimed she is unable to be with any other male besides he who chose her. If she decides to break the sacred bond that claiming initiates then punishment shall be quick to follow. [See pg. 50 Ownership] The male must only claim her once but the scent marking should be reestablished at every given chance so that no mistake is afforded. If two males mark the same female the stronger shall be the one to have her. If two from the same pack claim the same female then he of higher status shall be the one to lay claim to the body of the female as his property as is his right as the stronger male. While the female may be given the choice as to who becomes her mate if she is of lower birth than her mate she has no choice in the mate for the male is the alpha in all relationships./p
p class="MsoNormal"Ownership/p
p class="MsoNormal"Ownership of a female is a consequence of the female's actions. As was mentioned on page 2 under the heading Claim if a female has sexual relations with one who is not the male who claimed her then she shall forever forth belong to the Male that she betrayed. The Male becomes the females master controlling every aspect of her life even more so than if they had become mated. Only under the Ownership Law is a male allowed to mate another female. The female is to submit completely to her master and can only become his mate if he believes she has proven her worth. The mark of ownership shall stay but she shall be awarded all the rights of a mate. *[See amendment 212]/p
p class="MsoNormal"Intended Status/p
p class="MsoNormal"Once claimed and taken to under the male's roof the female becomes an Intended mate. During this period the courting begins in which the male shows the female how he can take care of her, provide for her, and discipline her if necessary. This process will show that he is a gentle yet firm mate and will make sure she is safe in a male's world. A more dominant female will be allowed more rights and be allowed to speak only after she has submitted to her mate and has proven she knows he makes all final Decisions. Upon this processes start the female will learn of her duties to her mate and he will show her his devotion. Some such duties include Bathing, grooming, clothing, massaging and sharing their warmth with her mate. A complete list of Duties can be found on page 512 Duties of mates./p
p class="MsoNormal"Amendment 212/p
p class="MsoNormal"Upon further exploration it has come to the males of the Inu races Attention that males have been found to force themselves upon a claimed female so that she will be punished or the male will kill her. In such cases as the female has no control over her sexual interactions with one beyond her attended mate then the ownership status shall be invoked but shall be changed so that the bond that would punish the female for her disloyalty would instead bind her to her intended mate and protect her from both his wrath and any unwanted advances by other males. At such a time the female will not be considered a possession but will receive full rights as an intended mate and as a mate when that time comes. The male will at that point protect her and help her overcome her fears should any be produced from the time she was forced to have sexual interactions with another. While tender mating and care is not normal for a Inu male in this case it should be used to balance his rougher qualities so that the female is not frightened and causes harm to herself or the male. [See section on mating holy beings page 668]/p
p class="MsoNormal"The Mating of Holy Females to a Demonic Male/p
p class="MsoNormal"While this is an uncommon mating it is not impossible. The holy powers of the holy female will be unable to hurt the male unless she feels extremely threatened that only time this has ever been a problem is when the female was forced to breed with one and her male was too rough in one excursion. As such remember holy beings are extremely sensitive but they will also need to be reprimanded the hardest. In such cases, as these the male must keep a firm hand in such a mating. For matings such as this read Inu-Lord's book holy mating amongst Inu Demons and Female Priestesses./p
p class="MsoNormal"Sesshomaru sighed as he looked at the book as he closed it softly. It seems he would have to get this book seeing as his mate was a Miko one of the holiest beings around. For now, he would prepare for his mates' arrival. Being a great demon he tried unsuccessfully to ignore the forbidding feeling he had as he thought over what he had read. Something was going to happen the question was what?/p
p class="MsoNormal"A/N: This story is something I came up with over Thanksgiving break. This story is going to be darker than my Inuyasha and Naruto crossover but it's going to be good. This is not to be read for the light heart because Sesshomaru is going to be violent as is in Inu demon nature. He will assert his dominance and there will be lemons both gentle rough and violent in later chapters. Kagome will eventually come to accept her place as Sesshomaru's mate just like Sesshomaru will eventually come to accept his mate will need more attention and gentle care at times. Well that's it for now `Mika Toshino/p
p class="MsoNormal"A/N 2: 7/16/18 I went through and edited the chapter a little to make it more pleasing to the eye /p
