Chapter 21

Change in seasons

Sango looked at Kagome as she slept peacefully next to her. They were both cuddled underneath the warm thick black and green blanket that covered their bed. Reaching up she gently stroked Kagome's ears before looking up at the ceiling. They weren't quite mate's yet but...they were only one step away. She remembered the "peaceful conversation" they had with Kagome's parent's.

"Um...Sheziro...Kinoda, we have something to tell you." Sango said as she held a half-healed Kagome to her chest. She could feel her soon to be mate shivering with slight fear.

"What is it dear?" Kinoda said with a smile on her face as she was finishing washing off Sheziro's back. They were all taking a bath together since it was the only hotspring that wasn't being cleaned at the moment.

"Well...we decided that...we were going to wait until the winter was over before we mated." Sango said in a hurried voice. She pinned her ears along with Kagome's down since she knew what was going to happen next.

"WHAAATTTT!!!??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR GOING TO WAIT!?" Sheziro yelled at them as she bared her fangs. "What if something happens to you and you are not able to mate right away huh?! Did you not think of th..." she stopped when she felt Kinoda's hand slide over her mouth and quiet her. "What?!" she yelled at her mate when she pushed her hand away. Looking into Kinoda's eyes she whimpered softly and let her tail droop when she saw the pain in them from her yelling at them. "Sorry..." Sheziro whispered and gently kissed Kinoda on the lips.

"Just let them explain Sheziro." Kinoda said as she gently sat in Sheziro's lap and pulled her tail out of the water to give it a washing. "They should have a pretty good idea of why."

Sango looked at Sheziro as Kagome shivered next to her, afraid of her mother slightly. "We decided to wait because of the winter. We were going to head out to the lake that houses the heir and their mate until the spring for when they mate. I want a pup to conceived and us to be alone where no one will bother us as we mate." she said as she leaned over and kissed Kagome gently to help calm her down.

Sighing softly, Sheziro looked at Sango before smiling. "That sounds like a good idea. Here's a tip though just in case something happens out there. Dog and wolf demons have a natural way to heat up their mates...but you have to be mated with each other. You could always mate to warm one another up." Sheziro said with a shrug. "Heyyyy...Kinoda don't be surprised if I make you cold so I can heat you up." she growled softly enough for only Kinoda to hear.

Kagome and Sango quickly got out of the bathroom and put up a " DO NOT DISTURB" sign on the doors when they heard moaning coming from it. The two took off towards their room and started to laugh. "Wow...Sheziro can do that anywhere. I swear if Kinoda wasn't so modest she would let Sheziro take her in the middle of the room." Sango said.

"I believe we will be hearing a lot more of these kinds of happenings since it is mating season. Sheziro is going to be all over Kinoda." Kagome said with a smile. Gently she pulled Sango closer and wrapped her arms around her neck. "Hm...I'm wondering how long you'll last my mate." she purred softly into her ear as she kissed along her neck.

"Not very if you keep this up." Sango said with a small moan before she snarled her dominance to get kagome to back off a little. "Come on you tease...when we are done packing we can go play some more. It's only about a days run from here anyways."

Kagome gave off a small whimper as she started to pack some of her clothing. They only needed about 5 sets of clothing and their weapons. It would have only taken them ten minutes at the most, but Kagome's tail and hands always wandered over to Sango and started to tickler her or pull her into a kiss. "Hurry mate." she said enthusiastically.

Grabbing the last of her armor and putting it in her pack, Sango looked at Kagome. "I would've been done faster but someone's hands kept wandering over my body." she growled out.

Smiling sheepishly, Kagome gently kissed her mate. "Me sorry...mate forgive?" she said letting her puppy ears pop up cutely as she gave her the dreaded puppy eyes attack.

Growling softly, Sango grabbed Kagome's hair and forced her into a deep kiss before whispering into her ear sexually. 'Yes...mate forgives bitch. Now come on...I wanna be there before dark." she said with a smile.
