His Greatest ConquestChapter 10:New Arrangements and One Week later
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Inu could sense his eldest pup heading his way and started to get antsy wondering if he was able to find his Grand-Pups or not. Now that he FINALLY has grand-puppies he doesn't want to lose them. He hoped beyond hope that his son kept his temper straight and didn't do anything to cause the onna to turn away, that would be bad…very bad. Inu then heard a light knock on the door and gave permission to enter.
Sesshoumaru walked into the study and sat down in front of his father's desk. He could tell by the look on his father face that he was anxious to know what had gone on but waited for him to ask the question.
"Did you find her?" Inu asked worriedly.
"Yes Father, I did. I also have met them, that is why I was gone all day. I will be able to see them at anytime but eventually all three of them and Cerberus will be moving in. So that brings me to are next subject, I need two bedrooms prepared by the end of the week, both across from mine. I also want the three most loyal guards to protect them at all times. I do not trust Azumi and I do not know how she will take this news." Sesshoumaru finished but before going on he waited to see if his father has anything to say first.
"I want to go with you to see the pups. I would also like to get to know them before they come here to stay." Inu stated more then asked.
"I will have to talk to Kagome first. She has a barrier around her hut and that is why you were never able to find her before. It will be up to her weather or not you can enter through the barrier." Inu nodded at what his son told him. Of course he didn't like it but he guessed he didn't have a choice. Inu thoughts instantly went back to the three-headed dog and just the thought of that made up his mind. That was one big dog and he didn't want to be the one stuck in it's jaws. If that dog had one head then maybe it would be different but hell, that dog has THREE… and three heads is always better than one, no matter what the situation.
"What news is there on Azumi and her father?" Inu took a deep breathe before answering his son's question.
"Not good, I'm not sure if were going to be able to get out of this one. The only thing I was able to do was prolong the mating date. The date is set back for another month, so we have until then to come up with something else." Sesshoumaru sighed and rubbed his temples. That's not good. He was hoping that Azumi would be gone before Kagome and the pups get here. He and his beast have already agreed on mating Kagome instead of Azumi but it will be difficult to win Kagome over if Azumi's around. He isn't even sure how Kagome will take the news of Azumi and even if she took it well it would still be hard as hell to get alone time with Kagome and the pups because he know damn sure that Azumi is going to throw a fit.
"Did you tell Azumi about any of this? About Kagome or the pups." Sesshoumaru warily asked. Inu shook his head.
"No, the only thing she knows about is that the mating date has been changed and she isn't to happy about that. She doesn't know the reason why or about Kagome and the pups. As far as I know, she thinks that I was mistaken when I barged into your room. Are you planning on taking this Kagome as your mate?" Inu asked even though he already knew the answer but he wanted to hear it himself.
"Yes, that is my plan but I'm not sure how that will go with Azumi around and we still have to get out of this contract with Azumi's father." Inu nodded.
"You need to be careful though. We have to make sure we get out of this without bloodshed. The last thing we need to do is start a war, even though the Western Army is greater, I want to get out of this any other way we can." Sesshoumaru nodded his head in agreement. Yes, a war is the last thing they need but he will take that chance if he has to. 'Kagome WILL be mine no matter the consequences.' He thought as he got up from his seat. He bid his father good night and headed for his bedchambers to get some sleep. By dawn he will head back to visit with his sons.
Sesshoumaru entered his chambers to find Azumi still awake. He continued to ignore her and striped out of his clothes to put something more comfortable on before getting into bed. He then felt Azumi's arm wrapping around his waist and felt her naked breast pushed up on his back. He shuddered in disgusts but she took it as pleasure. Before Azumi could continue Sesshoumaru unwrapped her arm and pushed her away from him. Azumi frowned and went to move closer but stopped when she heard her mate-to-be's growl of warning and she huffed but reluctantly listened. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes at her huff but was glad she took his warning. After his nose got use to the smell he slowly found himself in the land of dreams.
…
Sesshoumaru woke up just before dawn and tried not to wake Azumi up. The last thing he needs is to hear her bitching this early in the morning. Once he was ready to leave he made his way out of the palace and headed to his brother's forest.
oOo
Through out the next six days, Sesshoumaru would do the same routine. Wake up, leave the palace, and spend as much time with his sons as possible. He has actually enjoys the quite life that Kagome and his sons live. It is very different from the way he live and he greedily take the time he has like this and makes the better of it. No one sees the Great Prince of the West here but is more known as a father that his sons look up to instead. He never thought that there was such peace as this and he is sure he is going to miss it when it comes time to leave. He also loves Kagome's cooking; she has made him numerous dishes that would out do any royal cooking in Japan. He will defiantly miss that as well.
Malakai and Maru absolutely love the time they spend with their father. But Kai knows there is something off about his mother and father. They don't act like the couples he sees at grandma's world or even the couples from the near by village. If they loved each other then why don't they act like it and why doesn't their father live with them. He knows some things up and is determined to find out.
Kagome allowed Inu Tashio to come and meet his grand-pups, which he was grateful for. Malakai and Maru warmed up to him right away once they found out who he was. They spent a lot of time together and he started coming every day too but he usually arrived by lunchtime. The boys couldn't be happier now that they had their father and grandfather with them. Kagome was happy that the boys warmed up to them and she is also pleasantly surprised to see Sesshoumaru's mask slowly fading from the cold Daiyoukai that he is known for to an actual person with emotions. She was worried in the beginning thinking that he would keep his mask up in front of his sons but he didn't and she is very grateful to that. It's bad enough that Kai picked up on it already and she doesn't want him to be as cold and emotionless towards others as Sesshoumaru is.
…
The seventh day and last day of the week…Kagome was walking through the forest towards her home. She left for a couple of hours to visit and help Keade with some things that needed to be done. She wasn't quite sure what to expect when she reaches the barrier though, sometimes the pups can get a little crazy, poor Sesshoumaru isn't use to fatherhood yet and the pups have him wrapped around their little fingers and he has a difficult time telling them no. And boy do they know it.
When she walked through the barrier she wasn't sure what to expect but it sure wasn't this and how she wished that she had her camera with her. This was defiantly a Kodak moment. Sesshoumaru and the pups were all in their true form playing around. Sesshoumaru was laying on his belly with Maru laying on his back nipping at his father's floppy ears and Kai was trying to catch his father's tail. She notice Sesshoumaru looking out of the corner of his eyes watching Kai as he purposely would wait until Kai almost reached his tail then would flip it to the other side. Kagome laughed lightly to herself as she watch the three.
Kagome silently walked through the forest, around to the other side and came up behind Kai before she changed into her true form. Sesshoumaru noticed her right away but didn't say anything to give her away to the pups, who still haven't noticed her yet. Kagome, as silently as she could, crept up and nipped Kai's tail causing him to yelp in surprise. He turned around to see his mother with what looks like a grin on her face and bounced towards her. She crouched down and waited for her son to pounce on her then rolled them over before tickling his tummy with her nose. Maru soon noticed were the excitement was at and headed towards her too to also join the fun. Sesshoumaru stayed put but turned his head in the opposite direction to see his father walk through the barrier and saw him laugh at the scene.
Sesshoumaru turned back to his human form and went to greet his father.
" You know, I wish I had enough time to play with you like that when you were a pup." Inu said sadly as he admired the scene before him.
"Then why don't you make up for lost time with your grand-pups and we'll call it even cause I need a break. Who knew that being a father that entertains his pups would be so exhausting." Inu laughed but nodded.
"Your starting to change, did you know that?" Sesshoumaru scoffed. He hasn't changed he just didn't want to be cold to his pups. That was it. He was still the fearsome, cold, and deadly Daiyoukai everyone knows him as. Inu just shook his head at him. He didn't mean it as a bad thing but maybe he shouldn't have said anything. Inu turned around and turned into his true form before heading to his grand-pups. He nodded to Kagome and she transformed back into her human form and walked into the hut. Sesshoumaru sat down and watched his father and his pups.
Once they all eat dinner and put the pups to bed, the three adults sat out side to enjoy the cool breeze.
"Kagome, we need to talk." Sesshoumaru said sternly, by know Kagome was use to his superior attitude and nodded. Inu also nodded in agreement.
"Well, would you like something to drink before we get started? I have a feeling this is going to be longer then the last talk we had." Kagome said as she made her way inside.
"Do you have anything relaxing, wine perhaps?" Inu inquired.
"No but I do have enough ingredients to make some strawberry margaritas." Sesshoumaru and Inu gave her a questioning look. Kagome then realized that they didn't know what that was.
"It's good, trust me." She said as she walked inside to make them. When she finally walked back outside they saw her carrying two really weird looking glass cups with red liquid inside and a red berry like thing on the edge of the glass. Both men looked back at each other not sure if they should try it or not. Sesshoumaru then thought about how everything else Kagome made was more than delicious so he decided to give it a try. Once they both had their glasses Kagome went back in to get hers. Inu looked over at his son and saw him take a sip. He waited…then saw him take another and then nodded towards him. That's when he tried it and he was pleasantly surprised at the taste. He was sure he would want another.
"Do you like it?" Kagome's voice rang through the air as she walked back outside. Both men nodded.
"Like everything else you make Kagome, this is delicious." Inu said with a smile and Kagome blushed at the compliment. Sesshoumaru found that he liked it when her cheeks turned that color. It made her look even more beautiful than she already is.
"Yes, it is very satisfying." Sesshoumaru added in. Kagome smiled.
"Now back to what I was saying." Sesshoumaru started again as they sat down in what Kagome told them was a 'lawn chair' before he continued.
"It has been a week and I need to know if you had enough time to think about what we discussed the first day I was here?" Kagome knew what he was talking about and to be honest she hasn't really thought about it. Kagome took a deep breath and looked out towards the setting sun. Did she want to move into their palace? Would it be the best decision for her pups? Would they like it there? She knew her sons loved that they had their father and grandfather with them now and she didn't want to make it more difficult for them since she knew they traveled back and forth a lot but… what would she do with her home of two years, the home her pups grew up in, and…all their things? Sesshoumaru and Inu waited patiently for her to answer.
"What would I do with all are things?" she asked quietly. "I can't get rid of them."
"Leave them here, keep the barrier up so no one can get into it and just take what you need. Then if something ever happens or say you need some place to stay to get away for a while you will always have here. A safe haven of some sort." Inu suggested and Sesshoumaru nodded in agreement. Kagome thought about it some more. Then she thought about if it never does work out they could always come back here.
"Alright, we'll go…but if it doesn't work out or if we don't feel comfortable then I want you both to agree to let us come back here." She said with a little determination. She wants to make sure that if it doesn't work that they understood that there will be no argument about them moving back here. Inu nodded; he will agree to anything as long as his grand-pups will get to live with him. Sesshoumaru was hesitant though, he wasn't sure how things would go with Azumi and he knows that soon or later there will be problems between her and Kagome. But then decided that maybe if he told Kagome about Azumi and his predicament (leaving out mating her of course) now then she will be more prepared for it. Then all he will have to do is keep a tighter leash on Azumi so nothing too drastic happens.
Two margaritas later, Sesshoumaru finished telling Kagome about Azumi and 'how they are trying to get rid of her' explanation. Inu assured her that her and the pups will be very well protected and Kagome finally agreed. They decided that Kagome will get all day tomorrow to pack while Sesshoumaru and Inu watched the boys and then they would leave the next day. It would be a three day walk from here to the palace and they didn't want to wait long before leaving. Once the Margarita glasses were empty and everything was settled, Sesshoumaru and Inu said their good bye before heading home. Kagome noticed how late it was and also decided to get some sleep. She has a big day tomorrow.
oOo
Meanwhile…
Azumi was fuming. She hasn't seen her mate to be for a full WEEK now. She would always be asleep when he came home and would be gone before she got up. It was really starting to piss her off. She is supposed to be his mate for fuck sake and he would just ignore her like this. She huffed. 'What a fucking bastard!' she thought as she waited impatiently for him to get home. She will NOT go to bed until she sees him and HE will NOT go to bed until she gets some answers, like where the hell has he been? Why is their two new rooms prepared across for theirs and WHY was their another room being prepared in the family wing? She was also getting sick and tired of that human brat Rin that he call an adopted daughter, she is to cheerful and naïve for her own good. How dare he leave her here alone with that brat! O yes, she was going to get answers, she would make sure of it!
TBC…
