Now Through Eternity
Kagome stepped into the garden and felt the warmth of the sun. Taking in a deep breath of the sweet aromas of the flowers it almost over whelmed her. Sitting under a cherry blossom tree she looked over the garden.
She was amazed what she could hear, see and smell now. The smells of each flower as it drifted on the light breeze. See the movement of the grass as the blades bent. The sound of a bee in flight as it gathers nectar.
Closing her eyes she listened to the world around her. Hearing light footsteps she sighed. She knew it was to good to be true to have some time alone. Opening her eyes she looked into the face of Sesshomaru. Sitting next to her a silence grew between them.
" You seemed troubled." He didn't bother looking at her as he spoke. He knew how much she cared but still the thought crept into his mind that maybe she was having second thoughts of her decision.
" It's nothing. Just a lot to get use to that's all." She said as she smiled at him. She didn't want to tell him what was really bothering her. Something that Inuyasha had said made her think. The idea of being useless a burden on the group. She wondered if she had really been just that.
Soon a servant came out and announced the evening meal was ready. Helping her up they walked inside to dinner. During dinner they all sat and talked of things they had done while on their quest for the shards.
Sesshomaru sat listening to their stories. Even though he didn't look as if he was interested he was. Some of the stories he found amusing. He wondered how they had been able to even stay alive with the way they handled them.
As dinner progressed and people finished, Sesshomaru waited from her to finished eating her meal. Standing he held out his hand as he spoke to her. " Would you like to join me for a walk in the gardens?" He knew there was still something that must be done before they could mate. Something he was unsure of how to do.
As they walked in the gardens through the flowers and fish ponds they stopped to watch the sun go down behind the tree. " I should go in and put the children in bed." Smiling he pulled her into his arms looking down into her now golden orbs. " A servant shall do it." He replied.
She took as step back looking him straight in the face. " That is my job. Parents should be the ones to but their children to bed not servants." As she spoke her hand went to her hips. He knew just from her stance there was no use in arguing with her about it.
Once again it seems I shall be bending to her will. " Very well. I shall meet you in our room." He didn't mind giving into her when he saw the smile that appeared on her face and the kiss he was given. Returning to the manor they went their separate ways. Kagome went to the children while Sesshomaru talked to Jaken and the guards.
-Start Lemon-
Sitting in the hot spring Kagome closed her eyes. The warmth of the water soothing her still sore muscles relaxing her. Sesshomaru quietly undressed and slipped into the spring. She opened her eyes as she felt his hands slowly sliding up her legs.
As he moved closer his eyes became more intense watching her. The way he watched her, reminded her of how a predator would watch its pray before attacking. For reasons unknown to her the idea of this excited her. Causing a tight tingling to start in her lower abdomen.
She had a strange urge to move away as if trying to avoid any contact. She watched him closely as he moved toward to her. She moved back only to be stopped by the side of the spring.
As Sesshomaru got closer the urge to get away became stronger. She had not felt this urge before when they where close together. She could only guess it had something to do with her now being a demon and the matting ritual.
Jumping out of the spring she landed softly on the floor close by. A small evil grin crossed his face as he saw her land. " So you wish to play." He said as he moved to the side close to her. As he stepped out of the spring she started to move away when he vanished from sight.
When she turned she was startled as her nose was touching his. Before she could move away he grabbed her around the waist, pulling her to him. " Did you think you could escape me?" The amusement could be heard in his voice. He could smell the arousal radiating from her when he pushed her against a wall.
" Well you know how it is. Sometimes you just feel the need to get away." She could feel his hands as he lightly traced over her sides. His warm breath glide on her neck as he lightly kissed and nibbled on it. " Your body tells me of many needs." He whispered close to her ear. He traced her jaw as he slowly moved his lips toward hers.
He pulled her head back as he lightly tugged her hair. " Would you deny your mate. Who fought an immortal to have you at his side?" He said as he looked into her golden eyes. He knew the depths of her feeling due to what she gave up and her taking of the potion. He knew the pain she suffered because it was for him.
Even with all he had learned of emotions, he was still unsure of how to say what he felt. He hoped with her knowing how much he hated that swamp and what had happened the last time she would understand his meaning.
Kagome's eyes went wide as she gasp. When he spoke of the swamp she now realized how he had done it and why she was told to stay at her mothers for 5 days. " You said you would never go back there after what happened. You almost died. Why are you tel...?" Her voice trailed off as she realized what he was really trying to say to her.
Reaching up she caressed his cheek, a soft smile on her face. " Never." As his lips came down to hers she heard him whisper "Be mine for all eternity" just before their lips meet. Parting her lips, he slid his tongue in exploring the sweetness her lips held secret from all others but him.
Her arms slid around his neck and her leg encircled his. Slowly his hands rubbed over her sides to her bottom lifting her up, her legs wrapped around his waist as he deepened their kiss. Feeling her warm naked body next to his only drove him deeper in his desire.
Carrying her to their bedroom, he laid her down, his body following hers. He knew it wasn't needed but his honor demanded it. Braking their kiss he looked at her. " You are sure this is what you want? You will be mine. All who you meet shall know this."
Instead of answering she raised her head kissing him once again, her hands pulling him down to her. As his hand moved over her heated skin it sent small chills through her. He felt her slightly arch to his touch as he caressed her breast and rolled her nipple between his fingers.
Slowly kissing as line between her breast he left a warm wet trail. She lightly gasp as he took her nipple into his mouth and teased it with his tongue. Her heart slightly speeds up. She could feel his hand as it moved over her letting the nail drag on her soft skin.
Down her side over her hip, the light squeezing and caressing of the back of her leg as he pulled it to him, while he straddled the other. His hip slowly moving letting his manhood softly rub on her hip.
she wrapped her leg over him. Looked up at him, her fingers gently entangling in his hair. She could feel his hardness as it grew on her hip. She gasp and bit her bottom lip as his hand cupped her womanhood. Her moistened lips tingled in anticipation of what she knew was to come.
He felt her hip involuntarily move to his touch and her own need. Making him smile as he continued the teasing of her nipples. Her eyes closed as he slipped a finger between her wet swollen lips and found her bundle of nerves that hid behind them. She swallowed hard and her mouth wet dry as he massaged her.
As he rubbed her wet lips, his finger slowly slid into her hot waiting cavern. Her breathing slightly changed with the sweet sensation it gave her. He could feel how tight she was as he slipped another finger into her slowly.
Looking up at her he watched as she silently gasp and moaned at what he was doing. The slow pace at which he was moving in and out of her only made her body want more.
As her hips started to move he raised up whispering in her ear. " Tell me what you want Kagome." He asked as he added a 3rd finger making her softly moan. " You.. I want you Sesshomaru please."
" This will hurt a little but I promise it will not last long." While he spoke he spread her legs as he positioned himself above her. Moving slowly he entered her a little more each time he went forward. His eyes closed feeling her muscles gliding over his hardness.
The constrictions of her muscles squeezing and pulling on him as he moved. The slow pace he was moving was maddening, painful even as his own body screamed for the sweet release that he knew was to come, but he continued and waited unwavering in his pace.
He watched as she silently moaned. Bending down he placed his lips on hers kissing her passionately. Pulling back his hips he quickly thrust forward, braking her womanhood. His body froze deep inside of her letting her get use to the intrusion of him. He whispered soft words of apologises and comfort as tears feel from the edges of her eyes.
His body screamed to move but still he refused to till she was ready. Soon he felt her hips move, letting him know it was alright to go on. His body screamed to drive deeper into her, to take her for all she was worth but his mind wouldn't let him.
He knew this was her first time, he didn't want to scare or cause her more pain. He knew soon it would be time and then he could have his mate and forfil all her desires as she became a woman.
His pace slow and even. The longer they went the more she found her mind fogged over, unable to think of the world outside of their room. Her body moved keeping pace with his. Their hips meeting as if one coming together.
As her breathing deepened, her body told of many things, even though she had not spoke them. Pulling back to the point of almost leaving her, he thrust forward deep inside of her. Her body arched as she moan out softly.
Her legs wrapped around him silently begging him for more as they pulled and squeezed his hips. Leaning forward he whispered " Tell me what you want." As he spoke he pushed deeper into her.
The tightness in her abdomen feeling as if not relieved soon she would scream. " Fast more please." She manged to say between her broken breaths. Increasing his speed and deepening his strokes, he wanted to take her so badly, but still his mind held him back.
With each soft moan she made his resolve slowly melted away. The feeling of her claws lightly digging into his shoulder and back. The sight of her breast as they moved, the soft moans was driving him wild with desire to ravish the body that laid withering under him.
Her back arched as she cried out. " Sesshomaru please." What resolve he had left snapped with her plea. He thrust hard and deep within her as his speed increased. Finely he knew he could take her the way he wanted.
" Is this what you want?" He asked as he thrust deep within her time after time. " Yes." She cried out in the pure pleasure of the sensations that was now going through her body. With each moan she made his speed would increase. Soon she was able to keep pace with his thrust.
He could feel her walls starting to contract around his hardened muscle but he wasn't ready for her to have her release yet. He pulled out of her flipping her over on her hands and knees. He slammed deep inside of her filling her completely with himself.
She lightly cried out his name as her head flew back. His head went back as he felt her muscles contracting around him once again. Making him softly moan as his own body begged to be released. Grabbing her shoulder he slammed into her time after time going deep taking her for all that he could.
He could feel both their release as they neared. Flipping her over onto her back he slammed into her again. She moaned each time he would thrust forward. Her breaths became hard and shallow.
She screamed out his name as she climaxed. Her back arched and hand dug into the sheets in tight fist as wave after wave of sensations washed over her. Finely he let his body have what it had been crying out for. He loudly moaned out her name as he climaxed filling her deep inside with his hot seed. His fangs grew as he lowered himself down to her.
Quickly he sunk his fangs into her neck next to her shoulder. As her blood started to fill his mouth he felt a sharp pain in his own neck. Pulling his fangs out he licked the wounds he had made till the bleeding stopped and her wound healed over. Leaving nothing but their mating mark.
When she felt the pain in her neck from his mark. Her fangs grew and she had an uncontrollable need to sink them into his neck. She tasted the warm copper liquid as it filled her mouth. Pulling her fangs out she licked the two marks till they healed over.
- End Lemon-
She couldn't understand why she had done it. All she knew was that it was the right thing to do. As she looked at Sesshomaru his face held a smile and the look of complete contentment. He watched as a Crescent Moon appeared on her forehead and another stripe appeared on each of her cheeks.
Pushing the lose hair from her face he had to ask her. " Why did you return the mating mark?" She started feeling as if she had done something wrong but still not. " I..I don't know. It just felt like the right thing to do." As she answered her eye looked away from him.
Laying beside her he pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her. He realized she didn't understand why she had done it. Lifting her chin he explained. " By the returning of our mating mark. You pledged to stay by my side from now through eternity even through the afterlife as my soul mate."
Without even thinking she replied. " Isn't that what we both wanted?" As she spoke her eyes never left his. The smile he wore grew wider with her words. " Yes." He whispered as he kissed his new mate. Soon they both gave in falling asleep in the others arms.
As time went by they grew even closer. A week later they all left the comfort of the manor to start their search for Naraku and the shards once again. During their travels they all watched for signs of Inuyasha but none was ever seen.
Finely after six months they went to Kaede's village to find word of him but they too had not seen nor heard of him. Each silently feared he had been killed. All but two. Kagome and Kikyo each knew he was alive somewhere as they looked at each other.
For unknown reasons they felt it deep in their souls. A year later Naraku was defeated and the Jewel made whole. With the insistence of Kagome and Sesshomaru she finely agreed to stay with them on their lands.
They where both afraid even with her great powers someone might kill her in order to take the jewel. She refused to make the wish on Jewel. Always saying the time was not right. As if she knew it was needed for something very important in the future.
Within a few months of Naraku's death Miroku proposed to Sango and they was married. The ceremony was held at the manor with all the Lords and Ladies of the lands present to pay their respect to the couple who helped kill the evil Naraku.
The next year many things happened. Sango and Kagome each gave birth to their first born child, both where boys. As much as a nervous wreck Miroku was, Sesshomaru was even worse. Taking 3 of his strongest guards to keep him out of the birthing room during her labor.
Even with his threats of cutting off their heads. They still refused to let him pass. Finely with the sound of a new Born's cry they moved aside for him. Relived it was over and they had survived with their lives. As he kissed his mate he was handed his son for the first time.
The feeling that overtook him was like none he had ever felt. They had spoke often of what to name the child but their was one name she wished for more than others. After a few minutes the others where let into the room to see the next ruler of The Western Lands.
With the servants and friends standing around Sesshomaru raised his son into the air for all to see. Looking down at his mate he smiled. " I give you my son. Yasha the next ruler of The Western Lands." With all she had been through he felt it right to give her this one thing with their sons naming.
The ceremony for all the Lords and Ladies as they introduced their first born son. Along with the officially adoption of Shippo. Proclaiming him a true son of The Western Lands. Even though he could not have the throng Shippohad never been happier now he had a real family once again with a status.
Five months later Kagomewas sitting in the garden with Yashawhen she felt a strange presents coming closer to the manor. Sending a servant inside with Yasha, it wasn't long before Sesshomaru showed standing by her side.
Reaching the front gates she heard a voice she had not heard in a very long time. As the gates opened it reveled Inuyasha standing with a beautiful young human woman who turned out to be his mate. Inuyasha was speechless when he learned they had named their first born son after him, even after all he had put them through.
After entering the manor it was learned he came looking for Kikyo with a request. He came to ask her to wish him human so he could live a normal life with his mate. After Kikyo talked to his mate alone she agreed but with one condition.
The condition being that they must stay close to the Western Lands where they would be safe. With a nod of Sesshomaru's head they agree but only if her family could come if that was their wish.
As the wish was made his mate started glowing and her scream sounded through out the manor. Inuyasha screamed " NO!" as he looked at Kikyo. This was when she informed him it was her wish to change. Hers was a selfless wish in knowing she would be given pain by doing so. By granting her wish the Jewel was purified and finely Kikyo's duties where done.
The group watched as the glow around his mate slowly deemed and they could see her once more. Inuyasha's eyes teared as he saw what his mate now looked like. Her hair had grown long, soft and had turned white. Her eyes now the color of the golden sunset.. Her ears soft and fluffly white on top of her head. Her body now more pronounced lean and toned.
Inuyasha pulled his mate into his arms. When he pulled back he asked the only question on his mind. " Why did you do it when we agreed it would be me?" She smiled as she replied to his question. " Inuyasha I love you the way you are. Can you honestly tell me you would not miss being a half demon? That you would be completely happy as a human? I'm happy as long as I'm with you. Besides now it just means we will be together even longer."
Down deep Kagome had the feeling that Kikyo knew this day would come and that was why she held the jewel like she did. For the wish was supposed to have been Inuyasha'sto start with. Soon Kikyo left the Western Land to start her life as a normal woman. Kagome watched her leave with a heavy heart, hoping to see her friend again someday.
Years rolled by and Kagome watched as her friends grew older while she remained the same. In a way this saddened her. She knew some day they two would leave her when death came knocking at their door.
Even when she offered to help them become a demon like she had they refused. Saying it was not what they wanted. She understood their reasons and respected them for it.
As Shippo grew Sesshomaru took him under his wing teaching him personally the way a father would. By the time he was old enough to leave and be on his own, he was well able to protect himself. He had grown strong and brave. Stood tall and proud of his family name. Sesshomaru was just as proud of Shippo as if he was truly his own and treated him the same.
When Rin turned the age of 21 and was an adult. She once again asked to turn into a demon as Kagome had. Just as she had done each year since she witnessed Kagome change.
After much talk between Sesshomaru and Kagome, they decided they would allow it. They knew Rin knew of the pain it would mean considering she had watched Kagome's transformation years before.
The day the potion was made not one blood was use but two. Sesshomaru and Kagome both added blood to the potion making Rin truly their daughter in every way possible. Kagome cried as she watched Rin's body twist in its pain unable to do anything to help her.
The only comfort she had was Sesshomaru's holding her, knowing it would soon be over and Rin would have what she had wanted all those long years. The first time she saw herself in the mirror Rin cried tears of joy. Hugging Sesshomaru for giving her the one thing she had always wanted. To be able to stay with him and Kagome through out time.
With her new form she soon caught the interest of the son of The Lord Of the Southern Land's. Sesshomaru gave his blessings if that was what she wished. Over time he and Kagome watched as the two feel in love and mated.
Through the years Kagomewas happy but she still longed to see her family from the other side of the well. They decided to stop having children after the birth of their 4th child.
When Kaede died of old age Kagome took her death very hard. She had always thought of Kaede as a second mother. When Sango and Miroku died she took their deaths hard but excepted it knowing it was part of life.
Many things happened through out the long years they waited. The unrest between humans and demon which almost ended in war. Fighting between the North and South. When this happened Sesshomaru stepped in stopping it quickly for Rin's sake.
Bandit attacks that threatened the human villages in The Western Lands. Learning to change and adapt with the humans so the demon race would live on. With Kagome's knowledge and help he was chosen to teach his kind to survive.
As the date grew near to seeing her family once again she grew excited. Till finely it was time. Standing at her mother door step and with Sesshomaru's arm around her she calmed herself.
She wasn't sure how long it had been since her mother had seen her but for her it had been 500 years. After knocking on the door they waited. When it opened it reviled her mother. Tears coming from her eyes all she could mange to say was." Hi Mom." As she hugged her mother for the first time in so long. Now she was complete with her mate, her children and her family.
I hope you have enjoyed reading my story as much as I have enjoyed writing it for you. I realize this story realy has nothing much of Naraku and the shards it was meant as a filler. May we all find that one special love the will last through the test of time.
