Bright and early the next day, Kagome was awakened by Sesshomaru gently touching her shoulder. Jerking awake underneath his clawed hand, she blinked sleep blurred eyes and saw that he was already showered and dressed in some normal looking, but nice looking clothes consisting of a simple black T-shirt that looked like it had been painted onto his skin and some nice black jeans.
Slowly sitting up in bed, she even noted that he had even tied his long hair back into a ponytail.
"Come. It is almost ten am. It is time to get up and shower and dress and then come eat something and then we will leave to go see your family."
She grunted because she wasn't a morning person and did as he bid as she vaguely recalled her brother's very informative email about the bitch and her mother. Both of whom she was going to have to do something about.
Kikyo should be fairly simple to put in her place. And if things went south at any point in time...she'd have Sesshomaru sit on her in his true form. That should prove entertaining.
Yawning as she meandered towards the bathroom, she saw that her mate had kindly laid some stuff out for her to choose to dress herself in. There was two pairs of pants. Some shirts, several different colored T-shirts, several different colored long sleeved light sweaters, some socks, several different style panties and bras...
Finishing looking through the mass, she set aside a pair of socks, a pair of pale pastel pink polka dotted panties, a matching bra, a pair of pants- she decided to go with the faded jeans- and a nice off turquoise colored long sleeved light sweater.
And once those were set aside, decided that after her shower, she was going to kick her...mate for picking her clothes out for her when it had been totally unnecessary. This morning's shower, unlike all of her previous ones, was over and done with very quick.
She had cleaned herself, she had merely rubbed down the barest minimum of skin with the soap (mainly the areas where she tended to sweat) and then shampooed and conditioned her hair and then shut the water off and got out and wrapped her towel around her and began the task of semi drying off so that she could dress.
Once that was done, she grabbed a brush and ran it through her long hair a few dozen times and then took a few moments to braid the thick mass and then used a small scrunchie to tie it off and then left the bathroom.
Breakfast was a surprisingly simple affair.
Rice, miso soup, a small salad swimming in ranch dressing just like she liked it, some fish, some cut up fruit, and a glass of milk. Aside from the more traditional nature of the meal, it was rather nice.
And once it was finished and the dishes were in the sink, Sesshomaru led the way to the door where he took down the enchantments and sutras meant to lock them in and then opened the heavy steel door and let her step out of the bunker before he did.
"I believe you remember where my car is."
"At the police impound."
"Yes. Which is why we will be taking an alternate vehicle." Sesshomaru said as they walked down the hallway and out the door to his home before he veered off and headed to the garage attached to his home. And barely ten minutes later the two of them were on their way to her family home in a sleek black sports car.
"Where is your home located?" Sesshomaru asked once they were on the road leading back towards the city.
"Sunset Shrine. It the place where you grabbed me after sic-ed the cops on me."
Sesshomaru was quiet as he mulled over her response before then asking her, "A-Are you a shrine maiden there?"
"No."
"Oh."
"I was their miko." At which point Sesshomaru more or less slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in the middle of the road. Granted it was empty aside from them, but it just wasn't safe and Kagome found herself somewhat paranoid that they might get hit by another vehicle as Sesshomaru twisted around in his seat and looked at her for a moment, his expression disbelieving.
"Y-Your a miko."
"I was. I haven't checked to see if I still maintain any holy power."
"Then you should check before we get to your home. I want to make sure that I didn't taint you with my youki when I mated you."
"And if you did?"
"I will have to seek out another miko to purge it from your body and spirit before it devours you. But hopefully I can do so once the pup is born. Anything before that could place your life and it's in danger." Sesshomaru said as she slowly put the car back into drive and began their trip again.
It took about an hour longer than it should have, but part of that was due to several pit stops and Sesshomaru asking questions about her miko ranking. None of which she had truly answered since she wanted to watch him squirm a bit more once he met her little brother and grandfather, both of whom were excellent judges in character.
If they both approved of him albeit begrudgingly despite how the two of them had wound up mated, then Kagome would simply treat their mating like an arranged marriage with someone she couldn't really stand at the moment and hope for the best later on. Especially since mating with a demon was a permanent thing with no such thing as separation or divorce.
