Chapter 9

Previously:

Then all at once the door burst open and walked in Jaken, "My Lord something urgent has transpired."

"What is it Jaken? It better be important," Sesshoumaru said glaring daggers at him. Jaken walked over to his Lord and whispered one name "Naraku" Sesshoumaru looked at everyone in the room. He stood up and wiped his mouth after his latest meal. He didn't even glance at the blood stains it left on his white sleeve. "Excuse me I have to take care of something." Sesshoumaru left the room, followed by Jaken.

Kagome didn't know what was going on, she was curious to know what was so urgent. But she figured Sesshoumaru would tell her if it was very important, after all she is his mate. Kagome got up and excused herself from the room and headed back to her chambers to wait on Sesshoumaru to get there. As Kagome was about to turn into the hall she bumped into something hard. She looked up and seen that it was a male vampire he had short black hair that went to his ears. His eye's where blue and he carried what looked like a string of beads. Kagome was about to give him her apology, but then she felt a hand land on her butt. Anger coursed through her and she slapped him hard on his face, but it probably hurt her more than him. The male in front of her smiled as he touched his check, "I'm Miroku and you must be Lady Kagome?" Kagome just nodded still unsure rather or not she should be talking to this pervert. "Don't fear I was a monk in my previews life before I was turned," Miroku said as though it would help calm her fears when in reality it only made it worse and she wondered how a monk, a religious person who is always seen praying could turn out to be this "pervert" in front of her.

"MONK," yelled a familiar voice both Kagome and Miroku turned their heads. Miroku always thought that Sango's voice sounded rich and dark like good brandy, yet somehow lively too, like the very best champagne. "Uh hey Sango," Miroku said reaching his hand up to his head letting his fingers go through his hair showing how nervous he was. Sango looked at Miroku and then to me, "How Dare you touch Lady Kagome there." Miroku smiled and walked over to Sango, grabbing her hands, "Sango will you bare my children and be my mate?" Sango blushed and pulled her hands away from him. "No...I will not..." She was interrupted as she felt a hand stroking her behind "How Dare you touch me there," Sango yelled at the monk earning him another slap to the face. Kagome stood there watching both of them. "It was only a mistake; I was only checking to see if you were injured." Miroku said as he rubbed his now red check. Sango yelled back at him. "Why would I have been injured?" Miroku turned and walked over to Kagome and said, "Sorry for that but you are indeed beautiful Lady Kagome." Sango walked over to the Monk and yelled at him, "What are you thinking?" Miroku turned to face Sango reaching for her hands and said, "Don't worry your my only woman." Miroku then rubbed his check on her hand. Kagome couldn't help but giggle at watching their display of affection. Sango was blushing as she tried to cover it up, but her face was as red as a tomato. "It is hard to control myself around such beauties," Miroku said. Kagome was beginning to think that Miroku liked to be slapped. "Well if you will excuse me ladies, I will see you beauties later on," Miroku said as he turned to smile at Sango who was still blushing from what he said.

After Miroku had left Kagome went over to the blushing Sango and asked, "So you like Miroku?" Sango blushed even more, "What? That perverted monk," Sango said as she lowered her head knowing that it was painted on her face. Kagome smiled knowing that Sango did care for that vampire though in her opinion she didn't have that good of a taste in men, but then again who was she to say that when she was with the cold lord. Kagome knew she had better get to her chambers and freshen up before the Lord came, she had so much to ask, but she was still nervous to be in a room alone with him knowing that tonight would mean the secant of the "mate retrial."

Sango followed behind Kagome and once she reached the door to the bedroom chambers, she went in front of her to open the door. Sango head over to the closet and pulled out another robe this one had cherry blooms on it. Kagome thought it was beautiful, and walked over to Sango and got the robe from here and headed to the bath but before she went in there she stopped, "Sango if you need someone to talk with you can confide in me, because you're a friend." Sango smiled at Kagome and said, "Arigato Kagome."

Kagome went into the bath and started to strip off the red dress slowly to not rip it. She pulled down the dress and stepped into the warm water and let the warm envelope her. If there was anything she loved since her time here, is being able to bath. Kagome wanted to stay in the water as long as she could, to prolong seeing Sesshoumaru, she wanted to talk to him but every time she thought of it the memories of them being alone together in the room filled up and fear crept up on her. She wasn't just angry with him, she was angry with herself for submitting to him. What happened to the girl who wouldn't submit to being a mate? Kagome knew Mrs. Kaede would be pleased with the way Kagome was behaving and not fighting her fate. Yes! It was her fate, but can't fate change? Can't one person change their fate? She hoped that she would be able to change her fate, before it was too late and she was bound to Sesshoumaru forever.

Kagome got out of the bath after rinsing off the soap and repeating it and grabbed the towel to dry her hair and body off. After she was sure dry she grabbed the robe and walked out into the main room. Kagome seat down on the bed but then became restless and started to pace around the room. Her curiosity was killing her and she wanted to know what that was all about at breakfast. Kagome realizing that her pacing wasn't going to help none went over and lay down in bed. After a while, not knowing when exactly it was, sleep claimed her.

Sesshoumaru just got done talking to Jaken about the newest development. The Naraku was gathering up his own army of new born vampire's to come and try to kill him. Sesshoumaru knew that it would be imposable he refused to be killed by a half breed like him. Naraku was after power and he wanted Sesshoumaru powers. He was full of greed something that was brought on by him being a half vampire and half human. Every human he has come across are over run by greed and that greed will be there down fall. Sesshoumaru had made it to his room and opened the door to see Kagome on the bed fast asleep. He seen her hair sprawled out on the pillow she to him looked like a goddess. Sesshoumaru had to shake that thought out of his head. Kagome would be nothing more to him then a mate to bare his children and that is all.

Beast: (is what is within Sesshoumaru) you fool the sooner you admit to yourself the better it will be for the both of us.

Sesshoumaru: She is nothing but a wench the very thing that Zeus loved and I will not have feelings for the likes of her I would prefer it to be with a werewolf then a human wench.

Beast: Then you have just killed us both! Because she is, are soul mate and without her we aren't complete you need to hurry and clam her. For she will need your love and protection from that half breed Naraku!

Sesshoumaru: I will never love her! This Sesshoumaru doesn't love anyone love is a weakness. Look what it did to my mother it destroyed her.

Beast: That is why we need her to help us heal and to have something to protect.

Sesshoumaru: NEVER!

Beast: Growled!

Sesshoumaru walked over to the bed and lay down beside Kagome, not liking the predicament he was in at all. Never has him and his beast part argued like they have been here recently and it was all because of the wench beside him asleep.
