Chapter 20: Getting Use to Home
"Sesshomaru…" She whispered.
Her future Mate turned down to her, eyes flashing as he assaulted her mouth once again. Kagome moaned as his raw passion, before Kyo knocked again. Kagome cursed. (If this happens often, I'll purify him!) She thought. However, it must have been urgent if he was persistent. Kagome brought her arms from around Sesshomaru's neck to the side of his face, running her fingers over the deep purple stripes on his cheeks. This earned her a purr, and Kagome moved them to his ears, massaging them.
The Miko smirked as Sesshomaru instantly stopped his ministrations on her and nuzzled her neck. His eyes returned to their golden hue, and his purring continued. "You're needed, Sesshomaru." She said smugly.
Sesshomaru growled as Kyo's voice filtered through again. "We are not finished."
Kagome only smiled before they quickly fixed themselves. "Enter." Sesshomaru snapped out with pointed fury.
Kyo poked his head in, before bowing. "Pardon the intrusion…" Kyo started, who knew what the growls and the scents in the room meant. "However, the Lord did say that this was urgent."
Kagome smiled, and excused herself. Sesshomaru sent her a pointed message with his eyes that only made her smile brighter, before going off to find the children.

Kagome walked along the hall, smiling to herself. Shippo and Rin were running ahead of her, hungry for dinner. Kagome smiled and walked into the room, watching as Rin showed them where to sit. "Shippo-onii-chan! You sit here, next to Rin! Kagome-oka-san! You sit over there on the right, next to Sesshomaru-sama!" She smiled.
Kagome winked, and sat down in the chair next to the one she was supposed to. "Oh, I see. This one, right?" She asked. Shippo stifled a giggle.
Rin's frowned slightly. "No, silly! Rin said the other chair!"
Kagome smiled again and walked around to the chair on Sesshomaru's left. "I'm sorry. This must be the right one."
"No! The one on Sesshomaru-sama's right, silly! That's not the right right!" It was becoming more difficult for Shippo to hide his laughter.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, but this chair looks so much more comfy!" Kagome said, now sitting in Sesshomaru's chair.
Rin's face became one of horror. "No! Kagome-oka-san, if you sit there Sesshomaru-sama will-"
"Be forced to remove you from my chair." Came the calm, icy voice.
Kagome's back stiffened, and the hair on the back of her neck rose. She didn't even sense his aura! Kagome quickly stood, immediately placing a smile on her face. "Sesshomaru, how nice of you to join us!" She said, moving to her chair.
Sesshomaru wrapped one of his arms around her waist, leaning down to Kagome's ear. Rin was obviously scared, and Shippo was still laughing. Sesshomaru brought his warm breath to her ear, whispering. "It is best not to sit in my seat, Miko." He told her, nipping the soft flesh just behind her ear. The smell of her sudden arousal reminded him of earlier today, and he wanted to badly to take her to their room and make her scream his name.
"Of course, Sesshomaru." She whispered; her voice breathy from his actions.
Sesshomaru reluctantly let her go, missing her warmth as she took her correct seat beside him. Rin sighed in relief, and Shippo's giggles were quieted.
Dinner was amazing. It was a feast that Kagome had never seen before. Sesshomaru took a sip of his warm tea, and reached out to fill his plate with the raw meat that was placed near him. This signaled that they could now eat, and Shippo and Rin dug in immediately. Kagome's wide eyes were still roaming all of the delectables, her mouth beginning to water.
"Are you not eating?" Sesshomaru asked, looking over at her.
"Of course I am, once I decide what to try first! This all looks delicious!" She said, smiling brightly. The cooks, who had been hiding around the corner, smiled upon hearing this. Wouldn't Kagome be surprised once she found out who they were…
After dinner, Sesshomaru instructed Jakken to watch over Rin and Shippo. The toad grumbled, before running off after the wild wards. Sesshomaru offered his hand to Kagome, who smiled lovingly at him as she took it. He led her outside to the gardens, walking along the path laid out by more white marble. The garden was magnificent; glorious in every way. It was lit by small torches, and fire flies flittered around the flowers. The soft perfume of the fragrant flowers was hovering in the air. Kagome closed her eyes for a moment, taking in the sweet scent.
"It's beautiful." She whispered in awe.
"My mother designed it." He told her, his voice still monotone.
Kagome looked at him quickly. "Your mother…" She breathed. "Kya said that I have her old study as my own…"
"Yes." Sesshomaru told her, looking off into the distance. "As well as the kimono you adorn."
Kagome gasped, looking down at herself before up again at the lord. "Why?" She gasped.
"You are to be the Lady of the Western Lands." He told her. "You are to receive only the best." His voice still rang monotone.
Kagome joined him in staring off into the distance. "What was she like?" She asked as the sound of the crickets as they played their music filled the silence around them while they sat on a bench beneath a Sakura tree.
"Wonderful." Kagome watched as, while he spoke, his eyes seemed to glaze over. "My mother was the younger daughter to a minor Lord in the north. She was beautiful, intelligent, and loving." Kagome's eyes softened as she felt her heart break with his. "Mother was there for me when Father was not. When he was off with the woman, InuYasha's mother, she had become sick. Father left her, and didn't take care of her. He was with that horrible nigen, and she died in sadness, all alone." Sesshomaru's eyes were glowing red. "She was poisoned."
Kagome had silent tears streaming down her eyes. Sesshomaru, smelling the sudden onslaught of tears, turned to looked at her in confusion. "Kagome?"
"I'm sorry." She said.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your mother. I don't know what I would do without mine. She's always been there for me, just like your's was. My father died a short while after my baby brother was born. I don't remember him all to well except for the few videos that my mom has." Kagome smiled as Sesshomaru moved to kneel before her. "Your mother was a wonderful woman, Sesshomaru. She loves you."
Sesshomaru licked away her tears, purring in hope to sooth his future Mate. "Do not cry."
Kagome sniffled. "Well, you obviously aren't going to do it, so someone has to!" She snapped.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he looked into her blue eyes. So many emotions were swirling in their depths that Sesshomaru was overwhelmed.
"Come. We must tuck our children in for the night, and rest." He said, standing up. He took Kagome's hand in his own, pulling her up with him. Kagome whipped her face dry quickly, before taking Sesshomaru's hand and walked back to the castle.

"Bitch." Sai said scornfully from the bushes, just far enough away to hear them speaking but for them to not sense her. "She's using magic on him, I just know it. My Lord would never want a filthy nigen like her…" Sai huffed, before turning around and going to her room. She knew that at least one of the guards would be looking for her. Let them think that she liked them, it didn't matter. Every time those demons rammed into her, all she did was picture Sesshomaru in her mind. That it would be her Lord above her, making her slick with juices as she pleasured him.
Sai let out a sickly smile. Yes. Let them relieve her tonight. She would deal with the Miko in the morning.

"Whore." Aphrodite spat, scrunching up her nose. "I really did not want to know that!" The Greek Goddess let out a huff of her own, crossing her arms over her chest as she scowled. "Note to self – do not read the minds of jealous, ugly little whores."
Decided that she had seen enough, Aphrodite made her way to the palace. She'd best tell Kagome about her…
However, a sudden thought came into her mind.
Why tell Kagome when it would be much more interesting to watch Kagome's reaction when she found out herself, and then the very possible outcome of watching the rabbit slowly be purified?
Oh, yes! That sounded much more fun…

Kagome smiled as Shippo jumped into her arms, and Rin attached herself to Sesshomaru's legs. "So, what have to two of you been doing?" Kagome asked.
"We played Cops and Robbers again!" Rin answered.
Sesshomaru's eyes lowered slightly. "Rin, where is Jakken?"
Rin looked up with a pout on her face. "He is playing a game with us…" She said.
"Rin."
The stern voice made Rin crack. "Shippo and I tied him up in the ballroom."
Sesshomaru nodded, patting her head. He would never tell his ward how amused he would get watching Jakken in those situations. The tortures of the young…
Kagome, however, had no problems showing her mirth. "The Yoda wanna-be deserves it." Kagome smiled up at Sesshomaru. "I'll go tuck them in bed."
Sesshomaru nodded, before going off to find his retainer.
Shippo moved to Kagome's shoulder as she bent down to pick up Rin. "Come on, you two!" She said. "Time for bed, and if you're good I'll tell you a story." Rin and Shippo laughed, and started telling Kagome of what happened during their game.

"She is not like most humans."
"She is a Miko! She will purify us all!"
"You're such a stick in the mud! She has a very calm aura, and look! She's taken in a Kitsune for a son! Would you take in a human child?"
"She does seem to have a kind heart…"
"The palace seems warmer today."
"Are you all quite finished? I'm sure that Lady Kagome does not like to be spied on."
Several terrified youkai spun around. "Kyo-sama!" They shouted, bowing slightly.
Kyo looked over them. "May I ask why you are spying on the Lady?"
A younger inu-youkai female spoke up. "We wanted to see the real behavior of our Lady. She is a Miko, and they are known to despise our kind."
"As you can see, Lady Kagome does not." Kyo said, his voice bored.
One of the new guards that was off duty, spoke up. "Kyo-sama? Did she really adopt that kit as her own?" He asked.
The Kitsune smiled. "Of course. If you can not tell that just by looking at them, then you are blind. I assure you that it is awkward, but Kagome-sama is very kind and caring. Ask Shiori-san, in the kitchen. She has an interesting story of how Kagome saved her."
At that information, the small band immediately scampered way. Kyo shook his head.
"Hnn."
Kyo jumped out of his skin at the cold voice of his lord. "Sesshomaru-sama! How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough." His cold reply came back.
"I see…" Kyo replied nervously.
"Retire for the night, Kyo. I shall see you tomorrow." Sesshomaru said, before following the trail of his future Mate and wards.
Kyo placed a hand over his beating heart. "That demon is going to give me a heart attack one day…"

"… and that's the story of how Cinderella because a Princess and married her Prince Charming." Kagome finished.
Rin's eyes had giant stars in them. "I want to meet my Prince someday too!" She said.
Shippo gagged.
"You will, Rin. For now, however, it's time for bed." Kagome finished. She leaned down and kissed the girl on her forehead, pulling the blanket up to her chin. "Oyasumi."
"Oyasumi!"
Kagome smiled, and picked up Shippo, before tucking him in bed in his own room. "Night, night Shippo."
"Night, night Oka-san!" He replied, before rolling over and falling asleep.
Kagome also kissed his forehead, before walking out of the room. She closed the door quietly, and turned to walk to-
"Ow!" She whined, bumping into a wall.
Wait… walls aren't warm and bouncy…
Kagome opened her eyes and found an amused TaiYoukai staring down at her. "What?" She asked.
"Come. It is time for bed." He said.
Kagome blushed so deeply that she was sure her face was glowing. "Um, Sesshomaru?"
"You are to be my Mate." He told her. "I will not do anything until we have Mated. However, we will still share the same bed." He wrapped one of his arms around her waist and led her down the hall. Kagome was blushing the whole way, but she trusted Sesshomaru.
