Chapter 2: Mating, and mating ritual.

"Yes my lord." Rin replied letting go of my tail and chasing after Jaken again.

I stood up and dusted myself off, I heard laughter and looked at Kagome who was holding her hand over her mouth as she laughed.

"She's so cute." She replied when I raised an eyebrow. "Rin was it? She's so adorable! I can see that you are a great dad."

At that statement I blushed, not a little bit, not medium amount, I'm sure my whole face was red.

"Well she's not really my daughter I just adopted her. Her parents were killed and she was left on my porch when she was 4 years old. At first I turned my nose up at her. But she was the first person, human or demon who ever showed me any kindness at all. I slowly fell in love with her and think of her as my daughter." I started walking away when I felt a hand holding mine, I blushed more.

I could hide the fact that I liked her but somehow I would have to fight myself to have that happen. This fight was the first fight I was losing in. I held her hand in mine as she blushed.

"Who was the father of the pup?" I asked Kagome who looked at the ground and started to cry again.

"Inuyasha." Kagome had tears rolling down her face I wiped away one of the tears from her face careful not to cut her with my claws. I kneeled down on the ground and looked up at her.

"You shouldn't cry." I stated. "It mars you're beautiful face."

I stood up and hugged Kagome, she didn't try to pull away but hugged me back. I picked her up and carried her into my room, which was huge. I laid her on the bed and told the servants to take care of her.

"I'll be back. There's something I have to take care of. Kalla and the other servants will help you if you need anything."

I ran to the bathtub and before it had even fully locked in my fake room in my half brother's house I was out the door and about to open my bedroom door when I took a deep breath and let it out.

I opened the door and put my cold mask on my face, I went to find my half brother and I wasn't going to stop until I found him. I walked out of my room and walked into Inuyasha's room.

Inuyasha was doing his homework but this was important. I grabbed Inuyasha's shoulder and pulled him out of the chair. Inuyasha landed on his butt on the floor glaring up at me.

"What was that for ass?!" He yelled at me. "I haven't interrupted you when you were working or at all today!"

"If you come anywhere near Kagome..." I had poison dripping from my words but I couldn't help it I was furious with him. "I'll personally see to it that you are thrown so far away from this house that no matter how far you walk you will never reach it again." I saw Inuyasha swallow audibly. "How dare you." Inuyasha looked up at me fear radiating from his eyes and scent. "How dare you reject a pup." At this Inuyasha stood and glared at me.

"How did you find out about that ass?! Only Kagome and I..." He never got to finish his sentence.

"Yes only you and Kagome. And luckily Kagome wanted to know why she miscarried. She talked to me today at Jack bucks. If you come near her I will throw you out."

I stated as I walked out of his room ignoring his shouts of protest. I walked into the bathroom and back into my castle. I went into my study and worked on some lord of the west papers. After about an hour I heard a knock on the door.

"Enter." I stated not looking up from my papers.

"Um. Excuse me." Kagome asked quietly. I looked up at her. "I don't mean to interrupt but... no I'll wait until you're not busy." Kagome started to walk out of the room when I grabbed her shoulder. Kagome looked at my hand then at my face.

"You need not leave. I have time for an angel like you."

I stated and saw her look away. I held back a smile and turned her to face me. She blushed a deeper crimson but she didn't make a move to get away. I found myself looking at her lips and shook my head to get the thought of kissing those perfect lips out of my mind.

Kagome looked at my eyes and I looked away. I couldn't hurt her. My brother had already hurt her. Kagome grabbed my cheek and forced me to look into those brown orbs full of emotions.

"I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a mating ritual with me." Kagome asked looking away.

I couldn't stop my self and I forced her to look at me, her eyes widened as I kissed her. Kagome smiled and kissed me back. When I broke the kiss I looked at her smiling.

"I'll take that as a yes." Kagome laughed.

I nodded yes to her and kissed her again this time we caressed each other's cheeks. We pulled back and I looked at Kagome.

"I can't believe you would want me but I'm honored you do." I stated.

"I've had feelings for you for a while now. I know now I love you Sesshomaru." Kagome stated blushing a bit.

"And I love you too." I stated. "We are already on step four. We must except each other in body, soul, and mind." I looked away from Kagome it was slightly embarrassing. Kagome started laughing and I looked at her.

"You mean make love?" Kagome asked as I nodded no. "Then what?"

"I have to flirt with you." I stated as I went back to my papers.

Kagome laughed then hugged me as I looked at her she left waving at me and I smiled. Sooner than I thought possible night arrived and I walked towards my room, only to stop 3/4 of the way there and be tackled by Kagome who laughed at my fall.

I glared playfully at her but smiled anyway. She helped me stand up and we both started walking to my room Kagome holding my hand, and me hers. As we entered my room Kagome tackled me and it was an all out brawl on the floor.

"Inuyasha would threaten to kill me. If I tackled him." Kagome stated. "But I always did anyway."

I smiled and then tackled her myself and we growled and whined and played like wolves in a wolf pack. We stopped and started step four. As we were in the midst of step four both of us fell asleep holding one another.

Kagome's back was molded to my chest as we slept. As I woke up my arms around Kagome and I smiled. I slowly pulled my arms from Kagome as she groaned. Kagome yawned and turned over to face me I smiled at her.

"I got to go to work. We'll do step five tonight." Kagome nodded yes then grabbed my hand and I looked back at her.

"Can you tell me what the fifth step is?" Kagome asked me.

I couldn't help but smile. I was going to enjoy this step.

"You really want to know?" I asked her raising an eyebrow. Kagome nodded yes and I couldn't help the smile that crept up on my face. "Step five is to have a successful mating." I stated as I heard Kagome gasp. "Or as you put it. To make love." I told her as I walked out to my room and woke Inuyasha up the same way as before, but my brain kept taking me back to Kagome.

To hear her beautiful voice groan and scream my name. To feel the inside of her. To be inside that beautiful women as I felt my climax coming. I shook my head to clear it, just thinking about it made me hard and very uncomfortable.

The day took forever to finish and it made me mad. When the day finally ended I took off towards his room and my bathroom. As I saw Kagome I smiled as did she. We both kissed each other and deepened the kiss.

Kagome and I walked into my room and in no time she was taking my shirt off which I thoroughouly enjoyed. As she stared at my perfectly toned chest I took her shirt off. She ran her hands up and down my chest in a feather like motion.

I gently took one of her breasts in my mouth and sucked on it. Kagome pushed her chest up to allow me more of her breast as she moaned in pleasure. I sucked on her breast then licked my tongue all around it, which made Kagome moan even more.

I stopped on that breast and moved over to its sister. Kagome moaned and gasped for air, which made me start to get hard. I forced myself not to take her right then and there. I slowly worked down to her elastic pants and started pulling them off.

Kagome at the same time pulled down my pants. We were completely naked in front of one another. I licked the inside of her womanhood and she gasped. I put one finger inside her and slowly thrust in and out of her. Then I added a second finger and thrust into her a little faster.

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome screamed making me almost reach my threshold.

I pulled my fingers out of her lubricated womanhood and positioned myself at her entrance. Kagome nodded yes and I thrust into her to the hilt and bit the juncture of where her neck met her shoulder.

Kagome winced in pain, when she gave the ok I pulled my fangs out of her and left my mate mark licking away the blood and started to thrust in and out. A couple minutes latter I increased the speed and Kagome bucked her hips to meet my thrusts.

A few minutes latter I stopped and cut a ring around my wrist and let Kagome lick the blood from my claw. Then as I started to reach my climax and Kagome hers I released my seed into her and both of us breathed hard and went to sleep, the next morning I woke up and smelled something that made my inner demon throw a party in my head.

Kagome was with pup... Kagome was with MY PUP! This was to good to be true! I was going to be a father! And there was nothing Inuyasha could say about it! I smiled, but then put my cold mask on and carefully walked out of my real home.

I walked into my room and lay on my bed then I put my hands over my head and smiled the biggest smile I had ever given in my life. For a week everything was fine. I got a little bit of leeway on my job, seeing as how Kagome was my mate and with pup, although I hadn't told her that yet.

That night we all had dinner together and as we ate Kagome stared at her plate eating a few things here and there. Inuyasha laughed at Kagome which made me growl at him.

"Having second thoughts about a certain someone?" Inuyasha asked glaring at me, which made me growl at him as Kagome, started crying.

"I... I'm pregnant." Kagome stated which made Inuyasha laugh.

"You really are a whore aren't you?" Inuyasha found himself on the floor with a black eye and I grabbed Kagome's hand.

"That's great." I stated as I pulled Kagome into a hug. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Kagome cried on my chest and I ran my hand up and down her back trying to calm her. Kagome cried into my chest as Inuyasha stood she took a step back and I saw Inuyasha growl at her as I stood in front of her.

"Enjoy your whore Sesshomaru. She'll betray you the second she gets her chance." Inuyasha told me as I saw my vision get slotted with red dots. "This isn't over Bitch. I'll get you yet." Inuyasha took a step towards her and I put myself between the half breed and Kagome.

"Over my dead body!" Inuyasha's eyes became as wide as saucer plates, and my eyes would've too if I hadn't been mad at the half-breed.

Never in my life had I said out loud at least that I would have to be killed for someone to get at something. Inuyasha glared at me and walked away. I turned and kneeled down on one knee and made Kagome look at me.

"Forget everything the half breed said. If he tries to harm you in any way he'll have hell and me to pay." Kagome smiled and I grabbed her hands in my hands. "Besides we are connected in mind, body and soul."

Kagome's eyes widened then she looked at me confused, I let go of her hands and pulled my right sleeve up. There was the ring I had cut on myself and she had swallowed my blood, there was a permanent scar.

"Our mate mark. We are now one in the same." Kagome hugged me and I fell on the floor. Both of us smiled and then Kagome laughed, it had been almost 300 years since I had laughed.

I didn't know if I remembered how too. I tried to laugh and I must have succeeded because Kagome laughed harder and hugged me tighter. The next morning I woke up and Kagome was gone.

I looked around and growled. my brother's scent was mixed with Kagome's, which smelled of fear and anger. I charged into my room in the fake house and growled as Kagome lay on the ground tears pouring down her face holding her legs tight pushing Inuyasha, who was holding a syringe of vile green liquid, away.

I growled and punched Inuyasha so hard he flew out of the house. My sight became spotted with red as he stood up and growled at me, I growled so loud I heard Kagome gasp. Inuyasha charged at me and I threw him out of house and called 911.

"Hello 911 what's your emergency?" The answerer asked.

"I don't really know what happened but my half brother was attacking my mate... hold on." I kicked Inuyasha away from Kagome and myself, "My mate is with pup and my half brother had a syringe that was full of a vile green liquid and was trying to inject it into her."

"Ok sir, help will be there soon. Please tell me your mate's name and your name." The answerer told me.

"My name is Sesshomaru, Yasha. My mate's name is Kagome, Higurashi. My half brother's name is Inuyasha, Yasha." I told the person on the other line. "I would really like to have my father take care of Kagome. His name is Inutashio, Yasha."

"Yes sir. He's in the ambulance on his way. You're job now is to subdue your brother." The answerer told me as she hung up. I hung up and growled at Inuyasha.

"Kagome stay here and don't move. I'll take care of the half breed."

I told Kagome as my vision became solid red and I transformed into my full demon. I tackled Inuyasha and held him there with much trouble. The police were dragon demons, thank god!

They took Inuyasha to jail and I transformed out of my full demon form and went to sit next to Kagome in the ambulance as she lay on the ambulance's bed. My Dad walked out and said nothing but noticed Kagome crying. He got a syringe ready with a yellow liquid. "What's that dad?"

"Antivenom. You said he tried to inject a vile green liquid into her?" My dad asked me seriously.

"Yes that's exactly what it looked like." I stated, my dad nodded yes.

"Inuyasha said it would hurt more than anything in the world."

I stared at Kagome as my dad nodded yes, then injected Kagome with the yellow liquid. Kagome smiled and fell asleep. I moved the hair out of her eyes then looked over at my dad he was sitting on the ground of the ambulance crying. I stood and sat next to him.

"Hey. Thanks for taking care of her." I told my dad who nodded yes.

"That's not the way I raised him." My dad told me.

"I know."

"The real question is how did Inuyasha get Goramu?"

"Goramu?" I asked him.

We arrived at the hospital and put Kagome in one of the hospital rooms. My dad and I sat in the seats on the right of Kagome. I was closer to Kagome than my dad.

"Dad you asked 'how did Inuyasha get Goramu?' What is Goramu?" I asked him. My dad sighed and stood then walked to the door and then to me.

"You have to promise me something." My dad told me as I raised an eyebrow. "You have to promise you won't hate you're brother."

""Yeah. Ok. Sure." I told him.

"Goramu is a herb designed for sinister things. Goramu is an herb that makes the pup of a female. Human or demon rejected. If the human or demon is mated to someone the mate mark with be rejected and never again will those people be able to mate."

I looked at Kagome. "Will she be alright?"

"Yes. Your mate is strong. Her body refused to allow the small amount of venom that was in her body to take effect." My dad put his hand on Kagome's belly, which made me give a small growl. "But she alone was what stopped it. She wanted this pup more than her own life, and would die for you. She must have been hurt by her previse lover."

"Yeah he rejected her pup." I told my dad.

"Who was her previse lover? If you don't mind my asking." My dad asked me.

"The half breed." I told him and heard him gasp.

The next month Kagome slowly healed and would wake up for longer periods of time. I found myself smiling a lot more than usual. I got a letter that my dad had opened and told me to read it. I was shocked and surprised.
