Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha or any of the characters. I do NOT make any money from this or any other story.

This is the first novel length story I have ever tried writing, and actually only my second FanFiction. I promise that I will continue to work on it and update as often as I can, but unfortunately real life does have the driver's seat.

Chapter 21

He left with them to give them their keys to the house and to tell them what they needed to know about the new security gate and how to key themselves in on the way out. As he left Kagome turned to the others, "We have a meeting tomorrow at some point with Koto, our head of staff. We have to tell her the new schedule for the staff and we wanted your input on it and would like you to meet her. We also would like for you all to join us and the staff for lunch on Friday, that way they will know who you are."

The others just nodded their head, not really sure what to say, but Miroku asked, "and what did Lady Kagome, and Lord Inuyasha, decided on for the staff."

Kagome growled in a very Inuyasha like way, "First off 'Lord' Miroku, there will be none of this Lord and Lady Shit, and secondly, Koto has permission to call us by our first names. The ground staff can set their own schedules, but the house staff will work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and be responsible for cleaning and laundry."

Miroku just smirked, "I see you haven't completely embraced being a Takanaka yet have you. Dad, Mom, and Sesshomaru are the only ones comfortable being called Lord and Lady, the rest of us hate it."

Sango looked at him for a few minutes, "What do you mean you don't like being called 'Lord' Miroku?"

Kagome smiled at the guilty look on Miroku's face, knowing that he had ousted himself, she smiled and said to Sota, Hitome, and Inuyasha, who had just returned, "I think they will need some time to talk alone."

She stood with the others and as they made their way into the house she pulled Sango into a hug, "Remember he loves you, so listen closely to what he has to say. Come find me later if you need me." Then pulling Miroku into a hug she said, "Tell her the whole truth Miroku, she needs to know you have the same life span as us. Don't worry she cares for you." When she pulled away Miroku nodded to her, then she went to join the others inside the house.

"What was that about Sis?" Sota asked.

Kagome looked at him for a moment and sighed, "Ask Hitome about the life span of demons and demons binding others to them, or better yet, just become her mate already and find out. I'm going to bed."

She took Inuyasha's hand and the two started to walk to their room as she heard Hitome say, "thanks for leaving me to explain Kags."

Kagome looked over her shoulder and smiled, "He is your future mate, and don't touch any of the things outside I will help you all clean up the rest tomorrow. Goodnight you two."

As they made their way Kagome quietly said, "Do you think that they will be alright? Do you think Sango will take it well?"

Inuyasha gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, "You know her better than I do, but Sango strikes me as the kind of person who can handle anything. She might be shocked at first but she will be alright I think."

Kagome nodded her head in agreement and then smiling up to Inuyasha she said, "So are you ready to get a good night sleep. It is after all our first night in our new house and in a new bed." She kept her voice as serious as possible, and tried to keep any amusement from her eyes.

Inuyasha stared at her for a few minutes before scooping her up in his arms. He smiled as she let out a little squeak and began carrying her to their rooms, "Trust me, we will have a memorable first night in our new home, but there will not be much sleeping involved."

As he carried her Kagome reached up and began to rub one of his ears, "And what do you have in mind that will make it to memorable, Inuyasha."

He growled a little before answering, "I still have to teach you a lesson, about teasing your mate."

Kagome smiled, but leaned her head against his shoulder and continued to rub his ear as he carrier her up the stairs and down the hall. Once they entered the room Kagome looked at him and quietly said, "Go ahead and get in bed, I want to change into something else for you." Inuyasha nodded his head and placed her on her feet. He watched her as she grabbed one of her bags and made her way into the bathroom, before he stripped out of his clothes and laid himself on their bed, waiting for his love to return.

Inuyasha was already mostly erect, but as soon as the bathroom door opened he became completely hard. Kagome was standing in the door way wearing a very sheer, very sexing black lace teddy. It was barely containing her full breast, with a tie between them, he couldn't wait to get a hold of that silly little string and release them. He started to get up off the bed and go to her, but Kagome shook her head. Holding up a black satin sash she smiled, "It's time for us to fulfill one of my fantasies." As she made her way to him, she smiled in a way that both extremely worried and extremely excited Inuyasha. Finally she joined him on the bed and moved herself so she was straddling his waist. He reached up to touch her but she continued to smile and captured his wrist. She gently tied the sash around it and raised it above his head. Then taking his other wrist in her hand she leaned in and kissed him as she raised it to join the other.

She continued to kiss him until she had secured his hands together and tied them to the head post. Pulling away she whispered in his ear, "You don't get to touch, just enjoy." When he started to protest she silenced him with a finger and said, "When I'm done, it will be your turn to play. Until then just enjoy."

Inuyasha let out a low moan as Kagome softly sucked one of his ears into her mouth, letting her warm tongue run along the outside of the ear. Her warm wet tongue running along his sensitive ear was so arousing. Her breast, barely constrained by the thin string, were bouncing directly above his face. As Kagome left off her torment on one ear and switched to the other he reached up with his mouth and grasped the string between his teeth.

Kagome slowly released his ear and sat up, pressing her rear against his erection. As she pulled away she felt the string across her breath being pulled. Looking down she saw Inuyasha smirking as her breast sprang free. He raised his head, trying to suck one nipple into his mouth, but she pulled away before he could. Moving further down his body, she placed a slow, sensuous kiss on his mouth, allowing him to suck her tongue into his mouth. She continued the kiss until the need for air drove them apart. Releasing her torment on his lips she slowly began kissing her way along his jaw line, and then down his neck. She slowly placed open mouth kisses along his neck and chest, moving from one side to the next, as her hands lightly brushed a path up and down his sides. She licked a path around his nipple, and then slowly pulled one nipple between her teeth, loving the way Inuyasha called out her name, "Ka..go…ME"

She released the nipple and continued her path down his chest and stomach. Her hands moved before her, cupping his balls and lightly massaging. She kissed her way around and up and down his fully erect dick, never pulling the tip into her mouth for more than a second. Inuyasha was bucking his hips up towards her trying to get her to release his tension. Kagome continued teasing him until she heard him cry, "Please…Kag...o...me…please…don't tease me…oh god...no more…" Kagome smirked to herself as she gave in to her Hanyou's pleading, and slowly pulled his velvety tip into her mouth, bobbing her head and her mouth up and down, sucking strongly as she went. Inuyasha continued to buck his hips in rhythm with her movements, the closer he got to coming, the more he pleaded, "Please…harder…soo...good…so close…" Eventually Kagome felt the tightening of his balls and his breathing speeding up; she pulled as much of him into her mouth as she could, giving a few hard sucks. Inuyasha's hips bucked one more time and then he howled as he released into her mouth. Kagome drank everything that he gave her and then slowly sat up.

Inuyasha was watching her, still panting for breath and she climbed off the bed and stood. He watched as she slowly removed her top and then turned around. He felt himself growing hard again as he watched her slowly bend down, removing her thong, making sure he had a full few over her ass and her soaking wet pussy. He groaned as she slowly stood back up and turned around. He watched as she climbed back up on the bed and came up to straddle his hips, directly above his erection. She began lightly kissing her way up his body again, using her tongue to lick a path around his belly button, then around his nipples, and finally around his mating mark. By the time she began to kiss his throat he was panting again. "Please…" He begged, "I need you…Kag…please…"

Kagome silenced him with a kiss and then pulling back she whispered, "Ready again already?"

"God yes…PLEASE!!" he begged.

Kagome raised herself up and wrapped her hand around his erection and slowly lowered herself on him, allowing him to fully fill her. She heard him moaning, but she couldn't look at him. Her head rolled back as she began to ride him. Raising and lowering herself on him.

Inuyasha heard her begin to moan and gasp, "Oh god….oh..oh..aahhh.,." and opened his eyes to look at her. Her breasts were bouncing with each move she made and her neck was tilted, revealing her mating mark. He wanted to touch her, to help her and hold her, but she had bound his hand too tightly, so he watched her. He felt her picking up speed and strength of her thrust and felt his orgasm approaching. He began bucking his hips, trying to help her, and soon he heard her scream out a broken form of his name and her inner muscles contracting around him. He thrust a few more times and then released in her. Moaning loudly as he began to fill her.

Kagome collapsed on his chest panting for breath. She reached up and grabbed the sash and pulled releasing his hands. As soon as they were free she felt him wrap them around her and hold her close. Inuyasha held her for several minutes, allowing both of them to catch their breaths before he flipped them over, and placed himself on top.

He captured her lips in a gentle kiss and then pulled away. She was smiling at him so he smiled back. Reaching up he brushed a stray hair out of her face and behind her ear, "Are you ready for me again," he gently asked.

Kagome smiled and cupped his face, "I am always ready for you" she said and then reached up and kissed him again.

Kagome felt her wrist being bound by the same sash that she had used on Inuyasha. She smiled as he pulled away from the kiss and tied her wrist to the bed post, "Good because we have the second part of your fantasy to fulfill."

Kagome tried to smile at him, but moaned as he gently sucked an earlobe into his mouth, while his hands began to roam her body. One began to play with her breast while the other searched her center. He left off his torment of her ear and began to kiss his way down her throat and chest. He heard her moan and thrust her hips into his hand and he pushed two fingers into her, and began to rub her nub with his thumb.

Kagome gasped, "Inu….aahhh…" as he sucked a nipple into his mouth, lightly tugging on it with his teeth. She spread her legs and thrust into his hand begging for more, and moaned as he added a third finger. "Please…more…" she begged and felt him release her breast and begin to kiss his way down her stomach. She bucked her hips again and let out a small scream as he replaced his fingers with his tongue. "Oh god…so good….please more…Please Inu…"

Inuyasha continued to dig his tongue deeply inside of her, using his thumb to rub her swollen nub. He felt her bucking faster and knew she was close. He sped up his torment until he heard her scream out his name and felt her juices coating his tongue. He drank all that she released and then moved back up her body. She was panting and covered in sweat, but was lazily smiling at him. He smiled back as he slowly seethed himself in her, and set a slow tempo, Pulling out and pushing back in. He felt her hips rising up to meet his thrust and saw her straining against the sash. Without stopping his movements he reached up and released her hands. He felt her wrap them around his back and dig her finger nails into his hard muscles. "Faster please…" She begged.

Inuyasha ignored her plea but leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips, before whispering, "I love you." And then captured her lips in a kiss. He continued to kiss her deeply, slowly sliding in and out of her warm, wet center. He pulled back and look into her eyes. He two continued to stare at one another, sharing a lifetime of happiness to come, as they continued to make love. Long into the night Inuyasha continued to pleasure Kagome, bringing them to the edge and then slowly pulling them back. Slowly sliding himself in and out of her, loving the friction and warmth that was there. Finally Inuyasha couldn't hold himself back any longer, he smiled down to her and thrust himself as hard and as deeply into her as he dared, causing them both to instantly come, both screaming their mind blowing orgasms to the heavens.

Inuyasha collapsed next to her as they both struggled to catch their breath. Slowly he felt her hand begin to rub his chest. He brought his hand up and covered hers. Kagome turned herself on her side and smiled at him, "You are unbelievable, you know that."

Inuyasha laughed, "Only because I'm with you. No one else would be able to make me as good."

Kagome smiled and laid her head on his shoulder and placed her arm over his stomach. She felt him his arms wrap around her and pull her close. Slowly they drifted off to sleep, completely spent and sated.

Despite not getting to sleep until well past 3 in the morning Kagome woke up around 6 the next morning and could not go back to sleep. He body and mind were too restless. After trying to fight it for a while she quietly got out of bed and put on pair of her old karate pants, a sports bra, and a tank top. She slipped from the room and quickly made her way down stairs to the gym. She took a minute to check out all of the equipment and then continued into the studio room. As she entered she noticed that the others had already turned the room into a Karate dojo. Along the walls were six sets of belts, all of them going from white belt to Black belt, each with a picture and certificate hanging over the belts and trophies below. Below the trophies were sets of sparring gear, obviously belonging to the people in the pictures. She took a moment to look at each of the pictures. Four of the pictures she expected to see, Sota, Sango, Hitome and her. It was the other two that surprised her. They were pictures of Miroku and Inuyasha. She stared at Inuyasha's picture and Black Belt certificate. They were from the same style as her and judging from the date they had both just received their 1st degree black belts less than a year ago. She was a little confused by this new information, but decided to worry about it later. Instead she stared to make her way to the front of the room.

Against the front wall were many different types of weapons, some were for practice and some were real. There were swords, Bo staffs, sides, Sonjah Bonghs, Bong Me Nee's, Bows, and even Sango's giant Boomerang. There were a few she had never seen before but guessed that they belonged to Inuyasha and Miroku. As she turned and made her way to the middle of the floor she noticed that the far side of the room had been set up with targets to practice on. She took up her stance in the middle of the room and bowed out of respect, before she began her workout.

She took her time, starting with the low rank forms, and working her way up to the red belt form. She went through each form three times, to make sure she remembered them and to allow her body to warm up. By the time she reached the high rank forms she was already coated in sweat. She paused long enough to remove her tank top and then continued her work out in her pants and sports bra. Three times she went through the blue belt form, three times she went through the brown belt form, and three times she went through the red. By the time she finished the red belt form she was panting lightly from exertion. Kneeling down on one knee she closed her eyes and took a few minutes to calm her heart and her breathing. Slowly she rose and took up the ready stance for another form, seemly completely unaware of the audience that she now had.

Inuyasha watched her as she moved through the forms, her muscles flowing gracefully as she went from one move to the next, sweat lightly coating her body. He recognized the form as the 1st degree Black Belt form, the one that he had started learning a few months ago, but he had never seen it look so natural, never seen anyone look so graceful while doing it. He had started taking karate as a way of releasing his pent up anger and frustration and as a way of being closer to Kagome when she wasn't with him anymore. While he enjoyed it and was good at it, Kagome looked like she was born to do it.

He smiled as she finally finished the form and returned to her ready stance. She then started her own form. It took almost twice as long as any other form he had seen and the moves were more complex than even the form she had just completed but eventually she finished and he noticed she had a smiled on her face as she returned to her ready stance. Slowly he watched her as she bowed and then made her way over to the weapons displayed on the wall. She weighed several in her hands, twirling them around to get their balance. For a moment it seemed that she would decide on a wooden katana but then a smile spread across her face and she placed it back on the wall and instead took down a 6 foot bo staff. Inuyasha was extremely interested to see what she could do. Weapons' training was only for higher ranking belts, which meant that he had only been studying weapons for the last two years. He watched as she made her way back to the center of the floor and took up her position. He was surprised as she pulled a black sash out of her waist band and smiled as he recognized it as the same one from last night. She tied it around her eyes and then tested her balance for a few seconds. Satisfied she took up her ready position and began her form.

As he watched her complete moves he had never seen an idea came to him. He removed his own wife beater shirt and silently made his way to the front of the room. Making sure that she would not hear him, he noiselessly took his own bo staff off the wall and walked onto the floor. He stood 10 feet behind her and began to mimic her movements, trying to learn her moves. He was so intent in copying her that he nearly missed it when she suddenly spun around and lunged for him. He barely managed to block her first attack, but his block was quickly knocked aside as she spun her staff around and brought the tip of hers to rest on his collar bone. Surprised at what had happened he stood there for a few moments, but then quickly recovered and took a step back and went down on one knee and bowed his head, signaling defeat.

He looked up when he hear Kagome laugh, she removed her blind fold and smiled down at him. Tucking the blind fold into her waist band she stepped back and said, "I was wondering how long you were going to stand there and watch me. I thought you would have joined me much sooner."

Inuyasha stood up and looked at her, "You knew I was there?" When she nodded her head he asked, "How long?"

Kagome took up a sparing stance and signaled to Inuyasha that he should do the same. They bowed to each other and then as she waited for him to make the first move Kagome spoke, "Since you first arrived."

Inuyasha frowned as he jumped towards her and slashed at her head, "You weren't looking at me and I was too quiet so I know you couldn't hear me. How did you know I was here?"

Kagome blocked it and lunged towards him, "I'm not sure. I was working on my brown belt form when I just knew you were there watching me."

Inuyasha didn't say anything else as they continued to battle against one another with bo staffs, blocking, slashing, lunging, blocking. The sound of wood against wood was all that could be heard for 10 minutes as they both tried to gain dominance over the other. Finally, Inuyasha grew frustrated at his inability to gain control of the situation, never before had it taken him so long to win a round. Deciding on the same move that had won him his last tournament he jumped and attempted to flip over and behind her. Kagome smiled to herself as she saw what he was doing. She quickly spun around bringing the staff over her head as she did. As Inuyasha landed she quickly bent her knees and swept her leg at his ankles, taking his feet out from under him. Jumping up as he landed on his back she brought the staff down and pointed it at his throat. She kept it there for a few seconds and then straightened back up and bowed to him.

She couldn't help laugh at the surprised look that was still on his face. Offering him a hand and helping him up she said, "Why do you find it so unexpected that I actually won?"

Inuyasha shook his head as they made their way back to the wall to return their staffs, "I'm not surprised you won, I'm surprised I lost."

Kagome laughed and turned to face him, leaning up and placing a kiss on his lips she pulled away and said, "That, I do believe, is the same thing."

Inuyasha chuckled but then said, "No one has been able to beat me since I started, and I guess I forgot how good you always were at this."

Kagome smiled, "Nothing that years of practice won't do for anyone. Do you want a chance to even the score?"

Inuyasha smirked at her, "What did you have in mind?"

Shaking her head, Kagome lead the way to where their sparring gear was, "Mind out of the gutter Inuyasha. I'm talking about a friendly sparring match. Are you up for it?"

Inuyasha nodded his head and began putting on his gear, "Full gear, because I am not holding back."

Kagome just smiled as she put on her chest protector, "When did you and Miroku start training?"

As he put on his own chest protector he said, "I started right after we broke up. I needed something to take my anger out on and It was a way of being closer to you. Miroku just decided it would impress the girls."

Kagome laughed and then grabbed her helmet and the two walked out to the floor. "Full contact sparring. You can kick or punch anything above the waist, except the throat or the face." Putting her helmet on she said, "And no holding back cause I promise you I won't."

Inuyasha placed his own helmet on, "Of course not dear." He said in his best Sesshomaru impression. Kagome laughed as she took up her stance. They touched gloves together signaling they were both ready and then they began.

Kagome made the first move. She kick with a number two front kick knowing full well he would be able to block it, but as soon as her foot landed she jumped and gave a number 3 round kick to the side of his head. Inuyasha stumbled back at the force of the contact but then smiled to himself. He gave a spin outer crescent kick to her head and was surprised when she blocked him, and even more surprised when he felt the punch to his chest. He landed and jumped out of the way of her next kick and then jumped towards her again and landed a back fist, side kick combo. Kagome smiled when she realized that he really was going full contact. She felt the sting from his punch and loved it. It meant that he believed she was capable of handling it and it would also make it much sweeter when she beat him. She countered with a number two side kick to the stomach, number two front kick to the chest and reverse hook kick to the side of the head.

Usually both would take their time when sparring a new partner for the first time. They would try and gage their strengths and weaknesses, but neither was holding back. After a couple of minutes Kagome sent an inner crescent kick to his head but Inuyasha easily blocked it, Surprised that it was slower than normal he was momentarily caught off guard when she didn't immediately move away. He held on to her leg and went in for a punch as he heard her say, "We have an audience. Make it look good for them."

Inuyasha smirked as he finished his punch and pushed her away from him. Kagome caught her balance and attacked again. The two pulled out every move and every combination that they knew, but neither could land a deciding hit. After 10 minutes of fierce sparring Kagome called a halt. They both immediately dropped to one knee and removed their helmets, trying to catch their breath; neither was surprised when they heard applause from behind them. Standing up, they bowed to one another and then removed and stored their gear. After it was all put away, Kagome put her tank top back on and made her way over towards the group.

Shippo yelled and started to run to them, but Miroku stopped him and held in place, off of the training floor. Kagome smiled and stepped towards him, going down on one knee she said, "Shippo you can't come out on the floor with shoes on or without being properly dressed."

Shippo nodded his head and waited until she stepped off the floor before he attached himself to her leg, "That was amazing mamma. No one has ever beat daddy before. I want to learn karate. Can I start taking?"

Kagome laughed as Inuyasha detached their hyper son and placed him on his hip, "You know you can't start training until you start school Shippo."

"Then I want to start school now." The little boy cheered.

Inuyasha laughed and set him down. Pulling on his own shirt he said, "We will talk about it." He then looked at his watch and said, "What are you all doing up. It's only 8."

Sango frowned, "Shippo came running into our room this morning and woke us up. Something about not being allowed to go look for you by himself."

Kagome laughed and said, "Sorry." Then turning to Shippo she said, "It's alright for you to go around the house by yourself Shippo, just not when we are in public."

Shippo nodded as Inuyasha added, "And don't go running into people's rooms, even ours. Make sure you knock and wait for them to tell you to come in, alright?"

Again Shippo nodded his head. Kagome smiled and looked at her brother and Hitome, "So what are you two doing up?"

Hitome laughed but Sota frowned, "Miroku decided that since they had been woken up by a hyper Kitsune that we should be too. He told Shippo to run to our room and jump on me."

Kagome just laughed as Shippo said quietly, "Sorry Uncle Sota, but Uncle Miroku told me too."

Sota laughed, "It's alright kid. I blame Miroku not you." Then turning to Kagome he said, "Sis that was really amazing. I have never seen you move that fast or kick that hard."

Kagome started to answer but Hitome spoke fist, "Yeah seriously amazing, sis, I can't wait to see how you place at the next tournament you compete in."

Inuyasha smiled at the two from behind Kagome's back. He had smelt the change in their scent as soon as they walked in, but it was not his place to say anything. He would just wait for Kagome to figure it out.

Kagome smiled and said, "oh come on Hitome, you know I don't…" then she trailed off, suddenly catching Hitome's words. Raising an eyebrow she said, "Since when do you call me sis? I tried for years to get you to call me that but you never would. What gives?"

Hitome looked like she was fighting laughter, so Sota said, "Nothing's changed sis. Well nothing except that we are officially mates now. So like I said nothing's changed." Looking at the others he said, "Who's hungry? Let's get some breakfast before Mrs. Ken shows up at 10:00" Then he walked out with Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo, leaving the three girls there.

Kagome and Sango stood in stunned silence for a few minutes before they both screamed and squealed, "It's about fucking time." And then launched themselves onto the Panther demon in front of them.

"Oh my god." Kagome squeaked, "I can't believe you are finally my sister. This is great, this is amazing, this…" She went on for a few minutes and then turned Hitome loose.

The three girls smiled at each other until they heard Miroku yell, "Come on you three, let's get breakfast."

Kagome grabbed the two girls hands and drug them out, "Now we just need to get Sango to 'Mate' with Miroku and we really will be one big happy family." She saw her friend blush but did not say anything as they joined the guys. As they walked up to the main floor she said, "I'm going to take a shower and change. I'll join you in a few minutes", then ran off towards her room with Inuyasha following her.

They both striped out of their training clothes and placed them in the dirty clothes basket and then got in the shower. There were four shower head and two sets of controls, so they each adjusted one to the temperature that they liked. Kagome sighed and leaned against the wall, letting the warm water, run down her neck and back.

Inuyasha watched her until she began to shampoo her hair and as he rinsed his he asked, "Are you alright?"

Kagome turned around to face him as she continued to wash her hair, "I'm just fine. I just haven't trained in a few weeks and I forgot how great it feels and how tired it can make you. It's almost as good as sex." She finished with a wink and then rinsed her hair. As she put conditioner in she said, "That and I didn't get much sleep last night. Someone kept me up all night."

Inuyasha laughed as he washed himself off, "You loved it and I know it."

Kagome laughed, "Damn right I loved it. That still doesn't change the fact that we are getting some sleep tonight, even if it is the full moon."

Inuyasha just shook his head as they turned off the shower and grabbed a couple of towels. They walked into their bed room and began to get dressed. It was 9:00 as the two joined the others in the kitchen. They walked in just in time to find Sota placing omelets on the table. He smiled as Kagome walked over and gave him a hug, "You favorite Kags, Ham, mushrooms, and brie cheese."

"I love my brother" she said as she sat down. Everyone laughed and then busied themselves with their drink and food. They had been eating for a few minutes when Kagome suddenly stopped, her fork half way to her mouth. Everyone began to stare at her as Sota asked, "What's wrong sis, not enough ham in it?"

Kagome shook her head and set her fork down. She glanced between Sota and Hitome, studying their necks and shoulders closely, "I've just realized something." She said, "You never told us if Sota was able to mark you Hitome, and I don't see any mating marks on either one of your necks"

She smiled and then said, "Sota was able to leave a matting mark on me. And it is very much the same as the one you left on Inuyasha."

Kagome smiled, "I don't see it."

Again Hitome laughed, "Marking your mate in a place that is easily seen is a very Canine Demon trait. Dog and Wolf demons mostly. Feline Demon's tend to mark their mates in less conspicuous places. We are not as territorial."

Hitome began to blush a little so Miroku asked, "And where is your and Sota's Mark?"

Hitome continued to blush but said, "It is in a place that you will only see when I am in a bikini."

Kagome laughed, "Kinky, bro and yours?"

It was unusual for Sota to blush so when his cheeks turned pink Sango and Kagome exchanged amused looks. Sota slowly stood and raised his shirt, enough to reveal is stomach. His jeans were riding low on his hips and on his right side, above his pelvic bone was a blue Star, the same as Hitome's family crest. Sota quickly dropped his shirt.

No one knew quite what to say until eventually Miroku asked, "I am curious Hitome, Where do you bare your family's crest?"

Hitome smiled and turned in her seat. She pulled her hair to the side. Right behind her right ear was a blue Star. When she turned back around Miroku asked, "That is interesting, do all of your family bare their crest at the same location." When she shook her head no Miroku continued, "That is most interesting, all of our family bare their crest on their foreheads, or at least those who have the crest."

Kagome gave a small laugh, "Not all of the Miroku. Inuyasha's crest is on his back and your niece has chosen to bare hers on her stomach."

Hitome laughed, "You are pulling are leg Kags, Hanyou's do not bare their families crest."

Kagome just shrugged, "Well in the Takanaka family they do. Show them Inuyasha."

At everyone's insistence Inuyasha stood and turned around. He pulled up his shirt and showed them his family's crest. Once they were all done examining it he sat back down and started eating. All anyone knew to say was, "Wait till Koga and Ayame hear about this." Then they continued their own meal.

Once they were done Kagome, Sango, and Hitome sent the boys out to the porch to bring in what was still out there from the night before and then sent Shippo up to take a bath and change clothes.
