Chapter 9

I called Rin and Shippo over to us and we stood up as I said, "It's time for supper."

"Ok, Mother."

So we all walked into the castle and into the dining hall. We took our seats and the servants came out of the kitchen with our food.

They came over to us, sat our food down in front of us, bowed and then left. We all then started to eat. When we finished, we all got up and walked out of the dining hall.

"We will see you in the morning, Kags," Sango said.

"See ya in the morning, Sango," I replied.

She and Miroku then walked up the stairs with Grace. shippo, Sesshoumaru, Rin and i walked up the stairs as well. Rin and Shippo went into their rooms and Sesshoumaru and I tucked them into bed.

When I walked out of Rin's room, I shut the door and Sesshoumaru came out of Shippo's room and did the same. He walked over to me and asked, "Would you like to help me do my paperwork, love?"

"I would love to, Sesshy."

"Well then, come with me."

"Ok."

So we walked from our floor down to the main hall. He led me over to a door, opened it and I walked in. He followed me in and shut the door behind him. We walked over to his desk and we each took a seat.

He then started to teach me how to do all the paperwork for the western lands. It took a while but When we finished, I looked out of the windows to see that the moon is high in the sky.

If I had to guess, it is probably close to, if not already, midnight. We got up out of our seats and Sesshoumaru took my hand saying, "Let's go to bed, love, since it is late."

"Cool."

So we walked out of his office and started up to our room. When we made it there, Sesshoumaru opened the door, we walked in and he shut it behind us.

We walked into our bathroom and over to our hot spring. We undressed, got in and we both started to bathe. When we were done, we got out, grabbed our towels and started to dry off.

When we finished, we laid our towels down and picked up our robes, slipping them on. We walked out of our bathroom and over to our dresser. I got our night clothes out and we took our robes off to put them on.

We then walked over to our bed and pulled down the covers. We lay down and Sesshoumaru pulled the covers over us. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest.

I can hear his heart beat and I love the sound out it. I heard him say, "I love you so much, my beautiful Kagome."

"I love you too, my Sesshoumaru."

"I am so lucky to have you as my mate."

"I, too, Sesshoumaru; you are handsome, intelligent, strong and the list just goes on and on. There is nothing that I don't love about you," I said.

"I know love; I feel the exact same way about you."

He bent down and kissed my forehead. I snuggled closer to him and he wrapped his arms tighter around me.

My eyes started to flutter shut. After a little bit, I fell asleep along with Sesshoumaru.

I woke up sometime around dawn to some banging coming from outside of the castle. I opened my eyes and looked over at Sesshomaru's side of the bed for him, but I found him gone.

I sat up, looked around the room and I found Sesshomaru's armor gone along with both of his swords. I threw the covers off, got out of bed and walked over into our closet.

I got a pair of my blue jeans and a violet t-shirt. I took off my night clothes and put some undergarments on before dressing in my new clothes.

I slipped into a pair of sneakers and grabbed my bow and arrows, slinging them over my shoulder as I walked out of our closet and then out of the room.

I walked down to the main hall and out to the garden. What I see next surprises me. There is Sesshoumaru fighting a man with black hair who is about as tall as him.

He looks awfully familiar to me, but I just cannot place him. I soon heard Sesshoumaru say, "Get the Hell out of my lands, EJ!"

"Like Hell I will; I am your brother, which means that these are my lands as well!"

"You are no brother of mine; you tried to have father and I killed on many occasions!"

"Because you two were always in my way of what I truly own; like these lands and the castle."

"Bull crap, I will never let you have any of this!"

"Well then, little brother, prepare for war!"

"I will gladly do that if it is to protect my father's legacy and lands!"

"Our father."

"Shut up!"

They both finally noticed me standing there and the man looked from Sesshoumaru to me and then back to Sesshoumaru. He then said, "Who might she be?"

"She is my mate and don't you dare go near her!"

He then looked back at me and asked, "Might you tell me your name, dear?"

"You heard what Sesshoumaru said, you jerk!"

"Oh, and very feisty!"

"Shut the hell up!"

He started walking towards me, but Sesshoumaru jumped in front of him and said, "You will leave her out of this, EJ, she has nothing to do with this."

"Oh, but on the contrary, little brother, she has everything to do with this; her and that stupid pup that she is carrying!"

"Shut the freaking up, EJ!"

"No, little brother."

"These are my lands."

"Well then, goodbye for now, little brother."
