Chapter 10. Mates

Last Chapter (in Kag's POV)

"You're Kagome." He said surprised slightly. He walked in front of me and I stood straight. "What are you doing here?" He demanded and I gave him a shrug.

"Training…I guess." I mumbled and he looked around.

"Where's the other fox you normally are around?" I clenched my fist tightly and gazed at him with a mask cold enough to rival his own.

"No longer here with me." I stated simply.

"Answer my question, did he perish?" I put on a mocking thoughtful face.

"Hm…I guess you could say he did, but…he came back after possessing a human. So did the others but they came back in their own bodies." Sesshomaru nodded.

"Where are they now why are you not with them." I paused for a minute wondering how to answer.

"I left them for good…they do not need me." I said and out of habit clutched at my throat only to realize that I returned the necklace. Sesshomaru's eyes followed my movement and I quickly put my hand down.

"We will train here." He said tossing me a sword and I caught it surprised. His cool gaze connected with mine. "This is my repayment for saving Rin." I nodded and we trained relentlessly for months. After about four months he told me I had trained enough and I returned to the human world.

"Why do you need my help?" Sensui looked at me and answered honestly.

"Because you are strong, you can help me do what I need to do." I nodded. I appreciated his honesty.

"I will assist you." He smiled and held out a hand. I regarded it silently and slowly shook it.

"Welcome to the team." He said and I walked past the other two. I gazed steadily at Gourmet.

"You do not fool me demon. You have taken possession of that human body. You have destroyed that boy's soul." I said dangerously. "I do not appreciate having demons attempt to trick me." Sensui laughed again and I merely glanced at him.

"Gomen, gomen, gomen." I sobbed into Kurama's shoulder and he patted my hair and shoulder trying to console me. He rocked me slightly and I finally felt like I had someone there for me again. I didn't feel alone anymore. I looked at the damaged grounds and for the first time in months, I smiled, really smiled and I finally felt at home.

NOW

Kurama gently disengaged himself from Kagome and looked at her as she appeared to be observing the damaged shrine. He gently touched her shoulder.

"We should head back to the temple. Your still injured and need rest."

"You're right, though…I'm not hurting as bad now as I did earlier. Arigato Kurama." Kagome looked at him Kikari wandered off somewhere leaving the two kitsunes alone. Kagome kissed Kurama on the cheek and he looked at her blushing. He slowly pulled her into another hug. She cuddled up closer to his chest and he placed his head ontop of hers, inhaling her scent.

"Kagome, forgive me for what I put you through." Kurama asked softly, and Kagome held him tighter.

"Hai. I forgive you but…can you forgive me?" He said yes and they just stood there in each others' arms.

"I know I've asked you this before, but after this is all over will you be my mate?" Kurama asked. Kagome pulled back a little and looked at him.

"I told you the first time and last time, 'yes'." She said smiling her eyes twinkling and Kurama kissed her softly on her lips.

"When I gave you my blood you are aware that it initiated the mating ritual, correct?" Kagome nodded quietly. Kurama sighed softly and kissed her hair.

"I'll take you to my house. My mother isn't home she's with her fiancé. They won't be back for a while." He said softly. "Besides, its closer and your not feeling good again, so I'll call the others. Don't argue." He added as she opened her mouth to protest. She shut it and leaned against him shutting her eyes. He looked up as Kikari came up and looked at them. He picked Kagome up gently and placed her on Kikari's back and got on behind her. As they took off he held Kagome's waist to keep her from falling. He helped guide Kikari to his home and they got there within minutes. Kikari transformed into her smaller form as Kurama gently lifted Kagome and carried her bridal style. He placed her sleeping form on his bed and gently brushed her hair out of her face, caressing her cheeks. He quietly left the room and pulled out his communication mirror. (?- is it a mirror or does he have a normal one?)

"Hey, Yusuke here." A voice said, wide-awake.

"Yusuke, it's me." Kurama said swiftly. "Tell the others that Kagome is at my house. They're probably up by now and are wondering where she ran off to."

"Alright…but why is she at your house?" Yusuke asked, his face in the little mirror giving a knowing smirk.

"She went home, to fight her inner demons and I found her. She was exhausted and fell asleep and my house was the closet one without any one around to ask questions." Kurama said. "Please let Genkai know that I'm taking her back to the shrine when she's awake."

"Gotcha. I'm on my way over now, so I'll put that on my list of things to tell her." Yusuke said and hung up. Kurama sighed and put it away. He went back to his room and saw Kagome breathing harshly.

"Kagome?" Kurama asked realizing she was having a nightmare. He grasped her hand and squeezed it. "Wake up it's just a nightmare." He whispered soothingly and her eyes snapped open. She saw him and flung her arms around him, trembling. Kurama gently rubbed her back. "It's alright, I'm here, it was only a nightmare." Her eyes snapped open and she quickly sat up only to be pushed back down by Kurama. His eyes flashed with concern.

"Are you alright?" She took in a shuddery breath and smiled at him.

"Yes, I'm fine…it was…just a nightmare." She sighed and he hugged her tightly. Kagome leaned into his embrace. "I thought I was over them…I haven't had them for such a long time."

"You know it's probably because you went back home." Kurama stated simply and Kagome nodded.

"Yes, but I still didn't expect it." She looked at the sheets calmly. "Thank you…for taking care of me."

"It's no problem." Kurama said and then they sat in an awkward silence.

"I don't understand…why do you love me still? Even after all I've done?"

"I love you because your you. I won't ever stop loving you. I mean you've had two lifetimes now to notice." Kurama said softly and pulled her into a hug. He gently pulled back after a minute. He coughed and blushed slightly. "Ano…Kagome…can you…uh…lift your shirt? I need to check your wounds." Kagome raised an eyebrow.

"At least now you give considerably believable reasons. Yoko just told me to lift my shirt. I began to wonder if he hit his head too hard when Kuronue told me the truth…" She said lightly and lifted her shirt and Kurama inspected her wounds. "They're almost healed. I'm feeling better. I just better not fight for two days, my energies will be back up by then." Kurama inspected her healed wounds. He nodded approvingly.

"That's good." Kurama murmured. Kagome blushed at how close he was. His red hair tickled her slightly and she suddenly felt the urge to kiss him. She did, much to both of their surprise. Slowly he relaxed and began to respond. She's in heat…A part of his mind whispered. I-we should stop…but this just feels so right. They continued to kiss.

"Kagome…" He broke the kiss and they were breathing hard. "We should stop…"

"Shh." She placed a finger on his lips and he kissed them and she replaced her finger with her lips and they began kissing again. "Kurama I promised I'd be your mate. Last time we promised to do it after the battle…and last time…"

"Kagome are you sure?" Kurama whispered softly in her hair and she nodded. Kurama smiled softly and she kissed him lightly. "Only if you're positive…"

"I am." She said and smiled at him.

"Alright then…" Kurama stopped talking and they began kissing. Kurama gently nudged his tongue against Kagome's lower lip causing her to gasp and he gently shoved his tongue in it. They had a battle for dominance in which he won. Slowly they broke apart.

WARNING!VIVID Lemon

Kurama gently lowered Kagome onto the soft quilt planting butterfly kisses along her jaw line. Then his lips pressed against hers and she responded with an equal amount of passion. His tongue pushed lightly on her bottom lip begging for entrance. She parted her lips and his tongue entered, exploring her mouth once more, and she explored his. His tongue pressed a sharp canine tooth and she moaned. He chuckled softly making a mental note of the apparently tender spot and trailed down from her mouth again down to her neck sucking on it gently and licking it. As they parted for air Kagome gave him an almost possessive smile and placed her hands under his shirt slowly lifting it up over his head and threw it to the ground. He took off her shirt in response as well, leaving her upper torso exposed. He trailed kisses down to her breast and gently sucked worrying it between his teeth, then kissing it and licking it in an apology that was more than enough to satisfy Kagome. Kagome arched her back.

"Ku-kurama." He kissed her again and his hands worked on the button of her pants and slowly slid them down, then he did his. He paused with his thumbs hooked on her underwear and looked at her to make sure she wanted to go this far(1) Kagome nodded encouragingly with nothing but trust in her eyes. He slowly lowered her underwear to the ground, leaving her now completely nude. She kissed him hard and he responded wrapping his arms around her as she quickly removed his boxers. (2) He slowly laid her back on the bed and trailed kisses from her lips down her neck and back towards her breast and worried it between his teeth Kagome moaned and mewed with pleasure and whimpered when he stopped, then she smiled seductively and slowly trailed her hands down his body while kissing him and he nibbled an earlobe making her purr in pleasure and rubbed his hand on the inside of her leg making her shiver uncontrollably. She gently rubbed his chest with her hands trailing down, following the movements with soft butterfly kisses. She smiled teasingly and gently licked his chest. Kurama growled softly in pleasure and gave her another hard kiss. She gently stroked his stiffened length and he gave another soft growl. He couldn't suppress himself any longer and kissed her softly, meanwhile spreading her legs apart. He slowly wormed a finger into her then another, to loosen her up and make it less painful. Kagome gasped in surprise as he began to slide a third finger into her as a scissoring motion, and she began to squirm uncomfortably.

"Shh…its alright." Kurama murmured against her lips and he withdrew his fingers and smiled sensually and licked them. His eyes flickered gold and his hair turned silver as did Kagome's (remember silver kitsunes) as they weren't able to contain themselves anymore. Kurama caught Kagome's lips in a harsher kiss while caressing her breast, and Kagome's breath hitched. He put his lips closer to her ear.

"You ready?" He asked and Kagome nodded, her eyes holding lust, love and trust. He smiled and positioned himself. He kissed her and slowly shoved himself into her. She moaned in slight pain as he broke through her tight barrier and he gently caressed her with soft kisses and trailed from her mouth down her stomach, he waited until she was comfortable, suddenly she rocked her hips against his encouragingly, and then he began to rock back and fourth with her, the next time he was almost completely out of her she began to mewl in displeasure and it was cut short as he slammed himself back into her causing her to gasp in pleasure and surprise. They both were breathing harsh and groaning each other's name giving each other butterfly kisses and caressing each other with flurried touches. They were both reaching their peak and Kagome groaned out Kurama's name and he groaned out hers. They both reached their peak and Kurama spilt his seed within her and they cried out in pure rapture. Both trembling with want and need laid next to each other and Kurama began kissing her again. Then slowly Kurama kissed Kagome's neck over and over. Then he began licking it softly, and unable to contain himself any longer, he lowered his fangs to where he intended to show his claim. He bit her swiftly and Kagome gasped in slight pain and pleasure as Kurama sucked gently sending shivers down her body. She in turn licked his neck tenderly and did the same to him. As they slowed down Kurama gazed into her misty blue eyes.

"Mine, now and forever." He whispered possessively and Kagome smiled.

"Until the end of time." She whispered in reply and caught his lips in a fiery kiss.
