"LORD SESSHOMARU LORD SESSHOMARU WELCOME" Jaken was stopped in the middle of his greeting when he saw who all companied the Lord.
"WHAT IS THE HALF BREED AN HIS WHORE DOING HERE AT MY LORDS' CASTLE" he yelled glaring at the group. Ever since Sesshomaru joined Inuyashas' group, he made Jaken stay at the castle.
"JAKEN BITE YOUR TONGUE OR I'll RIP IT OUT AND SHOVE DOWN YOUR SCRAWNY LITTLE THROAT" Sesshomaru growled deadly as his eye bled red at the mere mention if the imp calling his lover such a name.
"Yes My Lord 1000 apologizes from this lowly servant" he bowed repeatedly.
"Kiss ass" Shippo muttered under his breath.
"Shippo what have I told you about such language" Kagome scolded.
"Sorry mama" he sighed.
"Come" was all Sesshomaru said to make them follow him into the castle grounds.
They all looked in awe at the beautiful décor. It was just breath beautiful. Inuyasha didn't care much. He remembered the palace from when he was younger before his mother died. He didn't see the fascination besides he wasn't the one to like walls very much but kept his mouth shut.
"Izumi" Sesshomaru called out. And from a puff of light smoke appeared an adorable cat demoness. She looked around Shippos' age.
She had shoulder length soft blue hair and warm loving midnight blue eyes. She was about 5'7''.
"At your service my Lord" her voice was soft and kind.
"Show my guests to their chambers and have the cooks know that their will be a feast tonight in honor of the defeat of our greatest enemy" he ordered.
"As you wish my Lord" she looked up for the first time and almost blushed when noticed one of the guests looking at her.
"Please follow me so I may show you to your rooms" she said leading them to the staircase.
Kagome was about to follow but was stopped when someone grabbed her wrist pulling her into a hard chest.
"And where do you think you are going" he whispered huskily into her ear making her shiver.
"I thought I was to follow her to my chambers" she whispered back. She could barely think let alone speak while he was assaulting her neck.
"I will personally show you to your chambers" and with that he turned her to face him before placing a sweet but chaste kiss on her lips. He took her hand in his and went up a different flight of stairs that were carpeted with burgundy and swirled to the top with a long straight pole coming straight down the middle.
He picked her up bridal style and jumped all the way to the top. They walked past a few big doors before stopping in front a huge mahogany door.
The inside was enormous. It was big enough for Sesshomaru in his dog form to walk around in.
"Whoa" she whispered in awe looking around. Soon she came to another pair of doors but this one led out onto a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden.
"This is amazing" she said softly looking out into the scenery as she looked over the railings but soon found her self trapped between two strong arms on either side of the railing. She turned to see Sesshomaru looking down at her lovingly.
He leaned down and captured her lips in sweet loving soft kiss.
"Mmm" she moaned softly before he pulled away slowly.
"Sooo" he said softly leaning his forehead to hers.
"So what" she said softly but she had a thought of where this was heading.
He glared down at her playfully with a growl "do not tempt this Sesshomaru when you know of what he speaks"
She just giggled softly before looking up at him.
"Yes" she said softly "yes I want you to be my reason to stay and love, yes I want to stay by your side for eternity. Yes I will be your mate" before she knew it his arms were wrapped around her waist lifting her up while her arms looped around his neck.
"I love you" he said softly kissing her jawline.
"I love you too" she moaned softly.
"Let us get cleaned up for tonight koi" he said softly putting her on her feet.
She smiled brightly and nodded in agreement.
They walked out hand in hand and went to the room next to is. It was giant bath house with a springs, soap, towels and robes.
"This is my personal wing. No one comes this way unless I tell them. We will not be disturbed" he said as he closed the door behind them. All that were heard were moans, giggles, and groans.

Inuyasha sat there in trees in one of the gardens just thinking. He knows he's an idiotic jackass that not only lost his first love twice but lost the love of his life and broke her with his indiscretions. He hates the thought of her in the arms of his brother but he knew it was beyond his reach.
His heartache badly when he remembered the look on Kikiyuos' face when she was battling Kagome. She was desperate, broken, and so vulnerable and it was because of him. And Kagome wasn't any better. She was cold, filled with hate and void of any emotion besides anger and vengeance and that was because of him also.
'I'm sorry Kikiyuo' he thought looking up at the night sky. He words were true, his heart and love did belong to Kagome even when he was with her. It was just out of sympathy that he kept sneaking off to be with her.
He wasn't used to these emotions one bit. He was used to fighting and surviving. That's how he grew up. He didn't know how to commit to one person and make them happy nor could he understand the heart completely. His heart screamed for Kagome but his head pulled for Kikiyuo, but either way in the end he had neither.
'This is must how she felt every time' he thought of all the times he left Kagome to be with Kikiyuo. She had a smile on her face every time but knew it was an act. Inside she felt pain and betrayal.
'What have I done?'

"Do you think he learned his lesson" Sango asked quietly so he couldn't hear. She was in her chambers with Miroku looking out on the balcony. She saw Inuyasha deep thought a little away in one of the trees.
"I am not sure but it seems he feels an enormous amount of guilt from his choices in life" Miroku said just as quiet.
"I wonder if they could ever be friends again" Sango said sadly. She knew for a fact that no matter how cold she tried to be on the inside Kagome was a complete wreck. Inuyasha w as her first true best friend and after all this only time will tell if she could recuperate.
"My guess is to just give them time. Do not try and push them into this. Let then deal with it the way they know how" Miroku advised.
She was about to agree until a knock interrupted them.
"Come in" Sango said.
Izumi appeared from behind the door. "It is time Slayer and Monk" she said respectively.
"Thank You Izumi" Miroku said. She didn't like that face. She backed up slowly away. The last she saw that face her ass was being abused then he was knocked out cold by the slayer.
"Miroku" Sango growled warningly.
"Hehehe" he laughed nervously before dashing out.
