Warning: long AN follows:

Thank you all for coming back! Thanks to Makimashi Misao F.D.S.S.L.A, springtopain and to miss Kali. To answer your questions Kali, she will, she was just highly distracted by her own emotional rollercoaster, so yes, she will end up bringing it up again, yes, he does (did) have them. No he will not go to them again, but he likely won't disband them as much as have them act as courtesians for his generals. If he disbanded them he would be responsible for sending them back to brothels after providing them a cushy life, and he is too noble to be that callous. so repurposesing them with strict orders to not bring up any of their time together, though most of them know their place was stress relief and accepted there was no emotional connection. Kagome will be incredibly possessive because that is a trait all canine kind share. surprisingly enough romantic rivalry was not the planned focus of this story. There will be a bit of Inuyasha moping, but even he accepted, like koga, that it was not going to happen. I have not decided if Inuyasha will get his happyeverafter with kikyo or not, soooo time will tell. For those of you interestested, I made a song fic for love the way you lie, it's inuxkag shifting to sesshxkag, if anyone has interest. it's just a bit of a one shot but... yeah, enjoy. anyway, enough rambling. As this is the second chapter in a day it night not be too long, and apologies in adavance for typos as it is 01:09 am when I started this in my time I am sorry I can not do much about the spacing. I use notepad to write, so when I transfer my sentance structure does not always come over, sorry you feel that way guest. Might I suggest using the app and ajdusting the size and font settings? Hope yall enjoy the light fluff here after her revelation dream as a reward for your patience.

Kagome felt weightless, like she was floating in warm water. It felt as if the sun warmed her body and she opened her eyes slowly before confusion filled them. She was surrounded by a soft pink glow. Panicking at first, she struggled, seeking a surface to break before she realized she could breath just fine. She began to truly look as she calmed, seeking something besides the soft pink glow. A voice startled her, a gentle tone that washed over her like a soothing breeze on a hot summer day.

"Do not fret my child. You are safe here. You merely pushed too far too quickly my brave one." came the disembodied voice, washing her with a maternal love. "Tell me child, do you know how you came to be?" she asked next.

Kagome shook her head before realizing how foolish she might look, speaking up," I do not." she answered, hoping maybe she might get some answers. Despite the sensation of unreality, she was fairly certain it was all real.

" You asked of the Kami, something they could not give. You were always meant to be, and as you were meant to be, so was the jewel. You can not destroy the jewel, it will simply become one with the soul of the one meant to guard it. But you have broken that cycle through no fault of your own. You sought no power, you made the closest thing to a right wish so far, but it was a riddle never meant to be solved. The jewel is gone so long as you live. So long as you draw breath, the jewel is not, should you ever perish... it will return and likely shatter as history repeats itselves to those unwilling to learn."

It was a long speech and Kagome did not even know where to begin," I AM the jewel?" she questioned incredulously as a wave of amusement flooded over her.

" Yes child, why else could you weild reiki and Youki so easily? You are the child of prophecy, but beware. There is ever a snake in the garden of paradise. Do not put your guard down. Something dark lurks close to your heart... do not let it spread or the world will fall and the hope for change you have brought will fall and those dear to you are doomed. "

She shuddered at the dark cryptic warning. She closed her eyes for a moment before she found herself engulfed in darkness this time, an inky blackness so deep she couldn't distinguish anything. A dark chuckle filled her mind, a bad memory, right before she jerked awake, eyes wide and sightlessly starting ahead.

...oOo...

Sesshomaru let out a low whine, running his tongue along Kagome's throat in attempt to wake her from the terrors that had disruppted his own light sleep.

She shuddered in his grasp, thrashing only a moment before she realized who held her, immeadiately becoming bashful and reticent. She flushed, looking away, leaning as far from his inviting chest as she could, not realizing he had never replaced his shirt, instead using them to help block the sheets of rain as he held her with an unyeilding grasp.

Still shivering with the images and memories of her night terror she reluctantly recounted them to the demon lord, half expecting to be spurned for being cursed to bare something he so despized. She did not mean to, but it was so very hard for her trust someone with her heart again, or in general.

Sesshomaru was unfazed by her actions or her words, pressing his nose against her neck before running his tongue over her," If you do not mark me with your scent in return, others are likely to think they can take your spoils. Do you truly wish a challenge?" he questioned her, enjoying her soft moan as he grazed his teeth over her pulse. She whimpered longingly, even as a possessive growl escaped her at the same time, her small claws digging into his arms as she gripped him.

" Tell me live, do you know what it is to mark your intended?" he questioned, smirking deviously at the shake of her head. He smirked wickedly," Then allow this one to demonstrate." he rumbled, brushing his lips over her neck once more, and then he startled her bu suckling at her pale flesh, leaving light grazing marks on her neck.

A dark bloom of color took root on her skin and she made an eager noise when she realized what it was she would be doing. He chuckled as he bared his throat to her, startling her more than anything else he had done in the time she had known him.

"So, I d-do ,well I do this to you?" she question shyly, her submissive posturing stirring his cock like no one else ever had. She leaned over him, pressing her lips to his throat, attempting to mimick the way his mouth and tongue had moved over her own, seeking to replicate it, with and without the teeth.

He groaned out a curse of praise, guiding her mouth over his throat. She couldn't help but feel proud when she notices the marks on his throat were nice and dark. Her pride grew with the lord's low needy moan, his look of pride and satisfaction. " Now is the hard part... we can not consummate untli the last waxing moon of the cycle, on the night of the full moon." he explained, earning her undivided attention.

Sorry it's so short. I have been writing for 40 minutes and my eyes are drifting off and i was typing nonsense for a while there. thank you all, I adore every last once of you." she announced.
