Doutaini-As One Together
Sesshomaru was nervous. He stood next to the monk and waited, he knew that they other lords should be present but he felt he didn't have time for that. They could hold a more formal ceremony later if they first survived Naraku.
"She's stunning" Akamu said drawing their attention to the demoness exciting the building. And truly she was. She wore a traditional Japanese wedding kimono, it was white and as she moved you could see the faint silver designs of moons and irises. Her hair was left down with a simple jade comb win her hair with a beautiful white lily on it. Instead of the traditional wedding hood however she carried a white umbrella.
"Indeed" Sesshomaru said amazed by her beauty. She finally reached him and he took her hands in his flashing her a brief smile.
"We gather on this day to give our blessing to Lord Sesshomaru and his chosen Lady Kagome. Are there any who have valid reason to object to the mating of these two souls" Mizu said looking out at the audience as if daring them to say anything. When no one disagreed he continued "Will Rin and Shippo please step forward"
"As the son of Lady Kagome and the daughter of Lord Sesshomaru do you accept this union and the newest addition to the families you have found" Mizu asked
"Yes" The two children chorused
"This is the point in the ceremony where I ask the lords of the lands of their acceptance, however today they are not present"
"Ah, my dear priest we are here" Chikao said as he and two others appeared over the steps "We didn't get a formal invitation but a little puppy informed me yesterday of this get together"
"Very well, my lords do you have any objections to this mating with valid reasoning?" The two lords that Kagome had yet to meet looked between them for a good while before one started smiling and the other smirked
"The Shikon miko, non of us would dare object to this" One spoke smiling at them
"Then it seems the kami smile down up you and you have received their blessings. Lady Kaori will lead you to your home for the next three days. When you return you will be joined in mind body and soul" Mizu said smiling at them as Kaori led them to a small secluded hut that was lavishly furnished. After Kaori left, Kagome began inspecting the hut.
"Sesshomaru, why isn't there any food in this hut?"
"For the next three days I will prove that I can provide for you, that you can care for me and for us to become official mates" He explained wrapping his arms around her.
"Will you teach me a little about court life and what I will have to do as Lady of the western lands?" Kagome asked softly
"Of course"
"Sango will momma be back soon?" Shippo asked softly, he and Rin were starting to get bored.
"Most likely tonight, Shippo or early tomorrow morning, why don't you go train with Kohaku? Rin you can train with me today, later I'll try and help you with your lessons" Sango said smiling at them. She looked up to see Inuyasha watching her, a ghost of a smile on his face. Miroku was talking to Kaori both laughing happily. After she got the children started on their lessons she sat down with a smile watching Inuyasha out of the corner of her eye.
"Lady Sango" Miroku said coming to sit next to her
"Hello Miroku" She said smiling at him "I hope you're feeling better"
"Much, thank you, the masters have told me my last step is to confront my fear of hurting you again. They asked that I rejoin you"
"We would be glad to have you back, Kaori as well, you like her don't you" Sango said with a teasing smile
"I do, but I don't know if this scar will heal enough for me to pursue her" Miroku said smiling sadly
"It will, everything heals Miroku, you've got to believe that"
"I'm happy that you've found another"
"I don't wish to hurt Kagome by pursuing him" Sango said softly
"She is mated to Sesshomaru, I believe she would want you to be happy, if he makes you happy then pursue him"
"Thanks Miroku, but I want to tell her first" Sango said softly
"Momma!" Shippo said running into Kagome's arms as they returned, Rin following him closely
"I hope you behaved for Sango" Kagome said returning his embrace
"I was, Sango wants to talk to you" Shippo said smiling at her, Rin was talking excitedly to Sesshomaru. Kagome sat Shippo down and began walking toward Sango's room.
"Kit," Sesshomaru said softly drawing Shippo's attention towards him
"Yes" Shippo asked almost afraid
"Come with me" He said after setting Rin down. He followed the lord until he got to a small garden. "What is your name kit?"
"Shippo" He answered softly still uneasy about the situation
"Don't be afraid, I simply wish to know you, you are Kagome's son and now that she is my mate, you are my son as well"
"What do you want to know?" Shippo asked sitting down
"Who are your parents and where are they now?"
"I never knew my real momma, daddy said she died though, and the thunder brother's killed my daddy, Kagome helped me avenge him though, I stole a shard of the jewel first to make myself stronger. Inuyasha was going to kill me but Kagome convinced him to help if I gave the shard back" He explained softly "I still have daddy's pelt, one of the brothers skinned him but we left it at Keade's"
"What things do you enjoy?"
"Momma brings me chocolates and candy from her time, well she did, and I like to draw, momma taught me a lot of games and I'm teaching Rin so we can play too! Oh and playing tricks on Kouga and Inuyasha" Shippo said smiling brightly before looking at Sesshomaru slightly worried "Sesshomaru, can I call you daddy, like Rin"
"I was unaware Rin called me that, but yes, you may both address me as such" He said noticing Rin listening in the bushes, She ran over and hugged his legs "Come now, let us find your mother"
"Ok daddy" Rin said smiling as they each took his hand
"You needed to see me Sango?" Kagome asked entering the room
"Yes, Kagome, I think I might be in love" Sango said softly "With Inuyasha"
"Oh, Sango, I'm so happy" Kagome said softly hugging her
"You mean you don't feel betrayed"
"No, I have found my love, you both deserve to be happy" Kagome said smiling "Has Miroku made his peace?"
"Yes, he knows, he needs to do this" Kagome said smiling "So when are we leaving?"
"After lunch today" Inuyasha said entering the room
"Thank you Yasha, I have children to prepare" Kagome said smiling as she left the room
"Kouga is going to shit next time he sees her" Inuyasha said smirking
"Indeed, Inuyasha" Sango spoke standing up and walking towards him. Before she could say another word, he kissed her
"You don't have to say anything, I heard you and Kagome talking" He said softly. She smiled at him and kissed him once again.
"Momma" Shippo and Rin called running to hug her
"There you are, where have you two been hiding" Kagome asked embracing them
"With daddy" Rin said smiling at Sesshomaru who approached at a much slower pace than the children
"What did the slayer need" He asked allowing Shippo to sit on his shoulder
"She wanted my permission to pursue your brother" She answered giving him a bright smile.
"Why does she seek your permission?"
"She was afraid of hurting me" Kagome said softly "They deserve this"
"Indeed, the slayer will be good for him, we should leave soon"
"We're ready now" Inuyasha said as everyone gathered to leave
Well there it is! I truly hope you enjoyed! Please Review!
