Chapter 23

Happy New Year everyone, sorry for updating later then my other ones.I just got the chapter back from my beta,please read and review.

Next Morning

I open my eyes as the sunlight comes shinning into my eyes. I turn my head away from it and my head comes into contact with Sesshoumaru's chest. I smile and snuggle my head into his chest and I feel his arms tighten around my waist.

"Good morning, Koi,"

"Good morning Sesshoumaru,"

I lift my head up off of his chest and as soon as I do his lips attack mine in a passionate kiss. I kiss him back; I turn over in his arms and place both of my hands on his best to hold myself up.

He brings his one hand up to behind my neck and holds it there. We stay kissing like that for the longest time until we finally have to break apart for some much needed air.

We look into each others eyes while regaining our normal breathing. In the blink of an eye we are both standing straight up.

I look around camp and Rin and Shippo are still sound asleep, cuddled up under the blankets.

We hold hands while we talk over to them, Sesshoumaru kneels down beside Rin and I kneel down beside Shippo and we start to wake them.

After several more minutes both Rin and Shippo are sitting up, all the while rubbing the sleep out of their eyes.

Sesshoumaru goes over and kneels down and starts the fire up once again. I stand up and walk over to our bags.

Luckily, I packed us some ramen for on our trip back to the castle. I grab my pot, dump 4 packets of ramen into it, hand it to Sesshoumaru and he places it over the fire.

Rin and Shippo stand up and run over to a near by patch of flowers to play. I go over and fold their 3 blankets up and place the, into our one pack.

After cleaning camp up the ramen is done so I look over at Rin and Shippo and yell.

"Breakfast!"

They perk up and run over to us. I give them their share and then Sesshoumaru his and then I take mine and sit down between Sesshoumaru and the children. We all quietly eat our food.

When we're done I put our garbage in a plastic bag and stuff it in a pack. Sesshoumaru puts the fire out quickly, and then makes his demonic cloud.

I grab our bags and throw them on. Rin, Shippo and I climb on. Sesshoumaru takes to the sky and I feel the warm summer breeze blowing against my skin.

Sesshoumaru wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me towards him. I snuggle against him as we fly threw the sky heading to our home.

5 Hour's Later

After 5 Hours of non stop flying the castle is finally in sight. After another 10 minutes we have finally landed in front of the castle gates. The guards bow to us and two of them push the gates open. Two servants come out and take our bags.

Sesshoumaru, Rin, Shippo, and I walk threw the gates, across the courtyard and into the castle. There standing in the main hall is Sango, Miroku, and Jaken. Sango squeals and runs over to us and embraces me in a tight hug.

"O Kagome, I am so happy to see you."

"Can't... Breathe... Sango,"

She immediately lets me go. I take in a deep breath of air and Sango gives me an apologetic look and says,

"Sorry Kags,"

"That's ok, Sango,"

"I mean, it's been a while since I have seen you,"

"I know, I feel the same Sango,"

"So how did your Mom take the news?"

"Well why don't we all go up to the sitting room and catch up, I have a few questions of my own,"

"Ok Kags,"

So with that Sesshoumaru, Miroku, Sango, Rin, Shippo, and I start up to the sitting room. When we make it there we are go in and sit down. I look at Sango who is sitting across from me and say,

"So Sango, how exactly did you and Miroku get to the castle and how long have you been here?"

"Well it was easy to find, Jaken let us in and we have been here for almost a week,"

"Great,"

"Now it's my time for the questions. How did your Mom take to you being pregnant and mated, to a demon no less, with 2 children?"

"Well, she was awesome about it, really. She fell in love with Rin and Shippo instantly and she loves Sesshoumaru,"

"That's great,"

"I know it is, my Brother Souta and My Grandpa took it great as well, you know my Grandpa didn't even try to purify Sesshoumaru,"

"O, I would have loved to see that,"

Sesshoumaru then joins into the conversation and says. "What do you mean by that Demon Slayer?"

"I mean Kagome has told me about her Grandpa and it would have been cute to see,"

"Hn,"

"O Come on Sesshoumaru don't be such a sour puss,"

"Watch your tongue Demon Slayer,"

"Yes, ok,"

"Sango,"

"Yes Kags,"

"I have presents for both you and Miroku,"

"That's awesome"

I reach into my back pack that I had subconsciously forgot about. I pull out two wrapped boxes, stand up, walk over to Sango and Miroku and hand them each a box and go back over and sit down beside Sesshoumaru on the couch.

We watch as they unwrap their presents. For Miroku I got him an ACDC hat, CD player and one of their CDs. For Sango I got her some clothes, nail polish and perfume. They both give me their thanks and say that it's too much bit I just say,

"That's ok guys. I wanted to do it,"

"Thank you Kagome,"

"You're welcome,"

"So what exciting happen with you two?"

I look up at Sesshoumaru, a smirk appears on his face and I turn back around to Sango and Miroku.

"Well let's just say our stay was very exciting,"

"Cool,"

We stay in there talking for another 2 hours, catching up on everything. Finally it's time for supper so we all stand up. We walk out of the sitting room; we walk down hall ways and stairs.

We finally make it down to the main hall; we walk into the dinning hall and take our seats. The servants come out of the kitchen with our food; they come over to us, set the food down in front of us, bow to us and leave.

We all then start to eat. I never noticed how hungry I really was until now. I guess now I have to remember that I am easting for two now and not just myself.

Rin and Shippo talk throughout supper, but when the servants bring desert out they quiet up. I look around; it's good to be home.

The End
