Ch. 6

A/N I am really sorry that I didn't update sooner.

Kikyo walked up to Inuyasha who was still stunned from the arrow attack and then seeing her after who knows how long "I asked you a question Inuyasha where is my reincarnation"

Inuyasha shrugged finally finding his voice "I don't know Kikyo we have been looking everywhere for her but no luck why do you want to find her anyway"

She sighed then smiled walking up to him leaning forward to whisper in his ear knowing that this will get her, her way "it's a secret. I need souls to be on this earth but if I take my reincarnations soul then I wont have to do that. I will be human once again wouldn't you like that Inuyasha?"

His eyes went wide in shock at first but then as her control over him tightened once again he nodded "yes Kikyo I understand. Do whatever you need to but we still don't know where she is"

She glared at him and slapped him "you idiot look harder if you want to forever remain by my side then find that girl and find her now"

Inuyasha nodded and walked into the forest slowly sniffing for the miko obeying Kikyo while said woman cackled with delight knowing that soon she would kill Inuyasha as well as the girl that stole her soul back.

MEANWHILE

The Great Dog Demon was having quite the horrible day.

First he sees his future mate kissing a dirty ningen male and then he is coerced into saying that said ningen could stay by a certain beautiful miko.

He ran outside transforming into his true form and he began to run around to let out his energy and anger into something more productive than simmering at the ningen who he refused call his real name unless in public.

His two most trusted servants Ritsu and Takara flew by him to make sure he didn't do anything to stupid.

Taisho growled at them as he continued to run finally stopping to lie down and role around in the grass.

Ritsu landed beside her master and Takara landed in a tree they both chirped comfortingly while the great dog demon growled to himself thinking about what's happened.

MEANWHILE

Kagome sat with Takemaru talking to him about life in the palace and he told her about battles that he won and the life of a human lord.

As they laughed and talked he gradually started to fall more and more in love with her liking the way she sees things.

Kagome of course being Miss Oblivious had no idea about the mans feelings as she continued to talk trying to forget about that kiss wondering if Taisho would care feeling a slight blush coming on.

Takemaru continued to talk laughing about something that happened to one of his soldiers during a battle against another lord not noticing that Kagome was in another world of her own.

Before he could continue his story the lord of the castle himself came in after his run walking up behind Kagome and hugged her causing the girl to squeak in surprise.

She turned to see Inutaisho and smiled hugging him back "hi Taisho I really do hope you don't mind this"

Takemaru smirked recognizing the jealousy coming from the demon wishing for all he was worth that he could just take the girl away from all of this and away from the evil demon.

Taisho noticed Takemaru looking at him and looked away closing his eyes for a brief moment "I hope you haven't been giving Kagome to much trouble ningen."

Takemaru laughed "oh please demon if im a human then so is she of course so who are you really insulting?"

Before either one of them could do anything Kagome stood in the middle holding up her arms so that they couldn't attack each other "both of you stop that this instant. You're full grown and you should act like that not letting judgments get in the way of anything like this"

They both looked her surprised that she was brave enough to do that but then Taisho began to laugh "oh Kagome this must be another thing people where your from teach?"

She shrugged "sometimes people don't believe that either that or they forget.

Takemaru looked at her "where are you from Kagome? I don't think I ever found out."

Kagome blushed a bit "oh how rude of me Takemaru I am from a place called Tokyo its really, really far away from here."

"Then how did you get here Kagome if you don't mind me asking." Takemaru asked leaning forward Inutaisho leaned forward as well smiling "I cant wait to find out either Kagome."

She sent him a dirty look before turning to look at Takemaru "well I came here to escape war and the oppressive forces of another lord. I think I was the only survivor. I've talked to other people around here and none of them have ever heard of my village I guess it's because it was so small and so quickly taken over."

Takemaru gasped while Inutaisho tried to hide a smirk at her lie that also miraculously stopped any questions in its tracks.

The young lord sat up and hugged Kagome tightly grimacing at the slight pain from his wounds "oh you poor, poor girl if you would like I would be honored to help you destroy the lord who took over your village as retribution for all of the atrocities that im sure occurred there."

Kagome had to put her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing "oh its fine Takemaru really I doubt you could find it. I barely even remember how to get there its that far away. That is sweet of you to offer your assistance but I don't need it. I've heard that the person who did it has gotten his just desserts if you know what I mean."

Before they could continue their conversation one of the healers came in and shooed the lord and the girl out saying that the young lord needed his rest and to not be pestered by some dog demon.

Kagome's eyes went wide in surprise at the healers audacity but stopped staring when Taisho began to laugh "oh you really are a dragon bound and determined to make sure that all of your patients get their rest and relaxation even if it means kicking out your lord."

The healer laughed and bowed "its ironic my lord that I am a dragon. But please leave you are over exciting the patient and he needs rest"

The two left feeling properly chastised but then Taisho pulled Kagome into a room and closed the door behind him.

"whats going on Taisho is something wrong?" Kagome asked looking at him in surprise.

He walked up to her and knelt down on one knee taking one of her hands in his kissing the top of it gently "my dear Kagome these last few days have been the best of my life except for the last two when I hade to leave. The reason why I left was to go to the grand council of lords to ask them permission for something. Now I know this may seem fast but I would be honored if you would allow me to court you and then mate you with your permission of course. I know that I won't be able to reach your family since they are in another time all together but I was thinking about it and what if I set up something with one of the lords and his lady to be like your adopted parents in your real mothers stay to make sure that nothing bad happens to you. So will you accept?"

Kagome looked at him in surprise and then she smiled "yes I would like that but im a human."

Lord Inutaisho shook his head "there is no worries there is a special spell that can be done to make you a demoness. As in I have to bite you a certain way during the mating ceremony."

Kagome put her hand to her throat blushing at the word 'mating' and what it implied.

But she smiled and bowed "I would be honored Taisho."

He smiled and picked her up spinning the two of them around but before he could do much else she held up a hand "quick question will we get to know each other more during this courtship? And how long does it last?"

He set her back down and smiled "excellent question we do indeed get to know each other to make sure it is indeed what we want. The courtship usually lasts a year with me giving you gifts and you learning the role of being a lady of the western lands and things like that."

Kagome smiled "wow what a challenge when does this courtship begin?"

"it begins after I present you to the high council of lords and they accept you"

She nodded wondering about how all of this happened.

A/N I know its been forever since I last updated please review.
