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 25

The two turned to see him and Miroku with smirks on their face. Miroku looked at him and said, "Your right Sota, but only if we could have found out what they were talking about. Even with our heightened hearing I couldn't make it out." When they heard a very girlish giggle coming from the other side his smile grew.

"Sota" he smirked, "I do believe that your mate heard every word that they said. It is so hard to keep things from demon hearing."

Hitome and Sango looked over at Kagome. Sango had a silly smile on her face while Hitome just beamed at her. They then looked back at their men, "I did and it will stay between Inuyasha and Kagome. Well them and me and Sango, of course."

Inuyasha just groaned good naturally, "Remind me again why I invited you four to live with us." He asked as a group of people made their way out onto the deck.

The others just laughed as he took Kagome's hand and led her over to meet the others. As they approached the staff all bowed and smiled, a little unsure. Remembering what he had been taught by his parents he smiled, "Welcome. I am Lord Inuyasha Takanaka, this is my mate Lady Kagome Takanaka, and this" he continued as Shippo approached his parents, "Is our son Shippo." He bent down and picked up his son then turning towards his friends he waved them over. Taking a minute he introduced them all and then said, "If you will please be seated, lunch should be ready shortly and in the mean time we would like to learn your names."

By the end of the meal it was obvious to all that the staff was not sure of what to think about their new employers. The adults had laughed and cut up, not only with each other, but with everyone present. Everyone had been informed that they were working for Lord Takanaka, his future wife, and their family, but no one quite knew what to make of the young Lord. He was polite and considerate, but also made sure that they knew the rules, what their duties were, and most especially that they were to answer to any of the 7 people living in the house and 9 guests. They were surprised that Inuyasha and the others were curious about them and their families, but soon grew comfortable enough to answer their questions.

Once they had been dismissed with instructions to start work Monday morning, and Koto took her leave for the day, the group gathered back out on the porch to enjoy their afternoon. Sota let out a loud laugh, "Inu dude, I think you have completely freaked out your employees. They have no fucking clue what to think of you. You scared poor Melissa to death, teasing her like that."

The other's laughed as Sango added, "Yeah and did you seriously have to point out the obvious fact that Jackie and James were married. I think their last names gave that away."

Inuyasha just laughed and shrugged, "I just want them to feel comfortable around us. I'm not a slave driver you know."

Kagome just laughed and shook her head, "I can hear the talk around the town now. Either everyone will think I have completely lost my fucking mind mating with you or you will have so many employee application you won't know what to do with them all."

Inuyasha was sitting right next to her and reached and grabbed her around the waist. Pulling her into his lap he placed a kiss on her mark and then smirked as she shuddered. Smiling playfully at her he said, "Love you cannot lose what you never had."

The others cracked up laughing as Kagome playfully slapped Inuyasha on the chest, "And what does that say about you, love, that you mated and proposed to someone who is apparently crazy?"

Inuyasha laughed lightly and then shrugged, "that I'm crazy in love with you."

Sota and Miroku just exchanged looks of disbelief as Sango laughed. Hitome shook her head and said, "That was really a pathetic recovery Inuyasha. Surely you could do better than that."

Inuyasha smirked, "Normally yes I could, but with Kags sitting on my lap I'm afraid that all the blood as left my brain and made its way south."

The others broke out in laughter. As Shippo made his way over to the adults to see what was happening Kagome said, "Keep talking like that and your blood will be the only thing heading south for a while."

Inuyasha pretended to be hurt as the others just continued to laugh with renewed force, but didn't say anything ask Shippo climbed up into the seat next to them. Once in the seat Shippo stood up so that he was at his parent's face level. Everyone stopped laughing and began to watch the young boy as he stared seriously at his parent's. After what was a long time he said, "Momma, Daddy, I want to start school in the fall."

Inuyasha and Kagome exchanged looks with each other and then looking back at their son Inuyasha said, "Are you sure Shippo?"

Shippo just nodded his head and then frowning a little he said, "As long as I don't have to go to boarding school like you and momma did. I don't want to leave home."

Kagome laughed a little, "You have a long, long time before you have to decide if you want to go to boarding school Shippo." She paused for a second and then asked, "If you are sure that you want to start school in the fall, we will have to decide which school to send you too. How about we get on the internet and look at what schools you might be interested in. Then when in a few weeks when I stop work we can go visit some."

Shippo smiled brightly and then jumped off the chair. Grabbing Kagome's hand he started to tug, "Come on let's go."

She laughed a little and then smiled, "Now?" Winking at the other's watching her she gave a little fake sigh and stood, "Alright. I was going to see if everyone wanted to go train for a little bit downstairs. I thought that we would call your Uncle Koga and Aunt Ayame over and have a training session." She watched as Shippo's eyes got big and then shrugged, "I guess if you want to wait to learn Karate then we can start teaching you another day." She turned to Inuyasha and held out her hand, "Come on, love, let's go start looking at schools.

Inuyasha smiled as he stood up but only laughed when Shippo started shaking his head, "but daddy said I had to start school first?"

Smiling Kagome said, "You do to start in an official dojo. Your dad and I decided that when you start school we will hire my old instructor to come here and train us all, but that doesn't mean I can't start training you on what you will need to know. I even think I have one of Sota's or my old uniforms that would fit you, at least the pants."

Shippo smiled even wider then turning around he ran to Sota, "forget looking for schools let's go train." The others laughed at his excitement as he started pulling Sota out of the chair.

As he moved down the line pulling the others up Hitome said, "I'll go see if I can find some of Sota's old things for Shippo to use."

Sango nodded in agreement, "I'll go call Ayame and Koga and see if they want to come over and train. We will see you in the studio when we are ready." She paused for a moment and then asked, "Are we just working out or are we having a complete Training session?"

Kagome looked at them for a moment and then shrugged, "If you all want a complete training session then that's fine with me."

"How are you going to have a Training session without an instructor?" Inuyasha asked.

Sota gave a little laugh, "Kagome is a certified instructor."

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her so she said, "Sort of at least. I have gotten my basic certification through my school, but I can only train people who are lower ranks then I am. It is the only thing I have paid to keep current with my instructor."

"So does that mean you can train me mamma?" Shippo asked.

"Sort of, I can train you up until you are a 1st degree, but no further. That is why we are going to bring my old instructor in, so that I can start advancing again." She said. Then turning to the others she added, "Tell Koga and Ayame, to wear their full uniform, belt and all, and to bring their weapons and sparring gear. Sensei Kags is itching for some action." She finished with a laugh.

The others just shook their heads laughing and left to go get dressed, while Inuyasha bent down to pick Shippo up, "Come on, son. Let's go get you ready while your mom looks for something for you to wear."

Kagome walked with them until they reached Shippo's bed room. She smiled and then said, "I'm going to change and go down stairs and start stretching. Why don't you two come down when you are ready? I'll put Shippo some pants on our bed. He can wear a t-shirt for a top, since I don't think we have one that will fit and we don't have a belt for him." She turned to leave and then added as an afterthought. "I know that neither of you have trained with me before but I'll give you fair warning, when I train I train hard. So get ready to sweat." She smiled and winked at them both before quickly walking to their bedroom.

As she went she heard Inuyasha telling Shippo, "Your mother is amazing. You know that don't you? I have never met anyone who was as dedicated as she is. I think she really meant it though. We better yet ready for a workout."

Kagome continued smiling as she walked into their huge walk-in closet. She went to the back were all of her Karate things were. She knew it was silly, but she had kept all of her old things, down to her very first uniform. She smiled as she found the first couple that she had owned. She took them down, along with her own uniform and walked back out into the bed room. It did not her long before she was ready. She carried her top and her belt over her arm and grabbed her headphones. Putting them on she began to jog downstairs. She knew that it would be a while before everyone else was ready, but she wanted some time to stretch, warm up, and decide what she was going to teach them. She saw the boys still in Shippo's room as she past, but she just winked at them and continued on her way.

Inuyasha and Shippo started to make their way downstairs nearly an hour later. As they stepped into the weight room they found the others all standing around talking. They were all completely dressed and Ayame and Koga were holding onto several bags, both gear bags, and weapon bags. Inuyasha set Shippo down on his feet and walked up to the group, raising an eyebrow he said, "What's going on. Have you all reconsidered the Training session?"

Koga shook his head, "We aren't scared of training with Kags. Actually she gives us the best workout. We just no better than to enter until she is done."

Looking at the others he said, "Done what?"

Sota just jerked his thumb over his shoulder to the studio, "See for yourself." Inuyasha looked through the door and then looked back to the others."

Seeing his confusion Sango said, "You don't want to bother Kagome while she is stretching, it's her way of meditating." For a second she stopped then apparently decided that she should continue, "Kags has always taken Karate seriously but since you two broke up she has given herself to it completely. It was one of the few things that kept her sane and helped her work out her frustration. Her passion and determination was what got the rest of us started in it. She was really upset when she had to quit; she had just managed to get her training certification. None of us felt right continuing to advance without her once we got our 1st degree black belts, so we quit too. I have to say, I cannot wait to get back into. It's one of the best stress relieves I've ever found." The others nodded in agreement as Sango noticed Kagome stand up and start to remove her headphones. Looking at the others she smiled, "I think that's our queue." She then turned to Miroku, Inuyasha, and Shippo. "For those of us who have not been fortunate enough to train with Kagome, get ready for the best training session of your lifetime."

Everyone removed their shoes and then bowed before entering the floor. While Koga and Ayame stored their things in their own places, just like the others, Hitome, Sota, Miroku, and Sango started to stretch in pairs. Kagome smiled and walked over to Inuyasha and Shippo and said, "You two ready?"

Shippo smiled up at her, "I can't wait, what do I get to learn first?"

Kagome smiled at him, "You will see. Make sure you stretch sweetie, I don't want you hurting yourself."

Shippo nodded his head and sat down. Then looking up he asked, "Will you show me what you do?"

Kagome nodded and started to show him how to stretch properly. As they worked she said, "Shippo our training sessions usually end up lasting at least two hours sometimes more. If you get tired just let me know and you can stop early."

Shippo got a determined look on his face and shook his head, "I'm going to go as long as you do. I'm not a quitter."

Kagome laughed a little and stood up. "Alright, let's see what my guys are made of." Truing to the others she said, "Line up and let's get this party started."

Sota shook his head and smiled as he took his place as Senior Student, "You are in a good mood today sis. Usually, you are so serious when we have one of these."

Kagome winked at him, "Don't worry Bro, you will get the normal workout. The last time we did one of these formal training sessions I wasn't nearly as stress free, relaxed, or happy. Though I guarantee it has not changed my passion for the sport." Clapping her hands to her side she spun around and shouted "Attention."

Inuyasha exchanged a look with Miroku who was standing next to him. Both snapped to attention like the others, but were a little taken aback by everyone's suddenly serious faces. They just really couldn't believe that Kagome could be as hard as their former instructor, but by the end of the class they knew that they were wrong.

Everyone but Kagome, Sota, and Shippo collapsed to the floor nearly three hours later, breathing hard, but they all had to agree that it had been a great session. She had started them out with warm up drills, jumping jacks, squats, pushups, and other things. Then she had paired them up with pads and had them work on kicks, punches, strikes, and blocks. That was only the first fifteen minutes. From there they had all done the white belt form, 5 times, until Shippo knew the moves. They had all been impressed at how fast he had gotten it. Kagome sent him over to the far side of the room with instructions to continue working on it by himself until they were done with their next part. The adults she had taken through every single form from white belt up through red belt, with each person leading a separate form.

All that had been the first hour. The second hour they worked on their own forms, while Kagome alternated between, her form, helping them with theirs, and then helping Shippo with more material. She had offered to stop the session after the second hour, but Shippo had wanted to work on weapons, and everyone else agreed. Miroku, Sota, Sango, Hitome, and Ayame had all wanted to work on the Bo Staff form, while Koga and Inuyasha preferred the sword. After making sure they both knew it well enough to teach it to Shippo she handed the little kid Sota's old practice sword and let the three go. After thirty minutes of weapons the adults wanted to Spar. Shippo was only a little upset when he was told he couldn't start sparring yet, but quickly got over it when Kagome started him on the Sonjo Bong form. While Shippo worked on that the adults hand thirty minutes of furious Sparring. By the end they were all exhausted.

Kagome gave a small laugh at those on the floor and then started handing out water bottles. Everyone had already drained what they had, so Kagome got them all new ones. Once he had finally caught his breath Inuyasha looked up at the three standing and said, "How is it that you are completely drained like us? Kags, you and Sota worked harder than the rest of us."

Kagome was still standing but breathing hard. She took a drink of water and then shrugged, "I'm use to it. I've trained like this since I started. I always stayed after class and worked out more."

Sota nodded his head, "She was always my way home so if she stayed I stayed." Then turning to Shippo he asked, "So runt, what did you think of your first training session? Was it everything you hoped it would be?"

Shippo smiled and nodded his head. "It was great Uncle Sota. I can't wait for the next one. I wish we could have gone longer."

The others groaned as Kagome smiled, "That's my boy" she said and then turning to everyone else she said, "I'm getting ready to take a shower and change clothes. Ayame, Koga, We have a video conference set up with mom and the others tonight at 8. Dad and Sesshomaru have been looking into our family history some more. Hoping to explain all this weirdness."

Ayame opened her mouth to say something but Kagome cut her off, "I know what you smell and like I told Hitome this morning, not now." Then turning to everyone she said, "We will explain everything tonight. Afterwards, Rin and mom are going to stay on and we are going to work on wedding plans. Ayame, Koga, why don't you guys go use the shower one of the bedrooms in the east wing. We would like for you to stay and have dinner with us and then meeting the others when the video conference starts."

Koga stood and helped Ayame up, "I'm glad we brought a change of clothes. Do you mind if we leave our Karate gear here. This is the only place that we have to train anyway."

Kagome shook her head, "go ahead and leave it. You are welcome to come and use the studio any time. I know that you have a gym in your house, so you won't need that."

Inuyasha stood up and said, "Unfortunately the master bedroom in that wing is reserved for Mom and Dad, or Sesshomaru and Rin, but I want you guys to feel free to claim any of the other rooms and leave whatever things you want there. That way you can all stay any time you need to."

Ayame smiled as Koga just nodded his head, "Thank Inu. We are going to shower we will find you when we are done."

The others slowly followed them and made their way to their own wings. As they stopped in front of Shippo's room Inuyasha asked, "So did you really have a good time Shippo?"

Shippo smiled and nodded his head enthusiastically, "Yes, sir!!!"

Inuyasha smiled, "good I'm glad to hear that. Now I want you to go take a bath and then change clothes. We will be out on the back porch when you are done."

"Yes, sir." Was all that Shippo said before running into his room. Inuyasha laughed as he took Kagome's hand and the two walked to their room.

As they started striping out of their dirty clothes Kagome noticed that Inuyasha seemed to be moving a little stiffly. She hid a small smile as she asked, "I didn't go to hard on you did I?"

Inuyasha looked up at her and smiled, "I'll live. It was a great work out, just more intense than I thought it would be."

Kagome smiled and walked towards him. Leaning up she placed a kiss on his lips and then taking his arm she lead him to the bathroom. She turned on the water and then pulled him in with her. She smiled up at him and then said in a voice that Inuyasha knew could only mean one thing, "then let me make it up to you." He watched as she slowly dropped her knees and then threw back his head with a sharp cry as she wrapped her hand around his dick and pulled him into her mouth.

Kagome growled as she smelt the spike in his scent. She felt Inuyasha place his hands on the back of her head and begin to push her head up and down along his dick. He still didn't push too hard, but he was using more force than he had in the past. Kagome picked up her pace, but as she continued to suck him, she felt something begin to stir within her. She could fill Inuyasha's demon calling to something within her. As his aura began to rise in strength she felt her senses clouding over as something else took control of her actions.

Inuyasha was shocked when he felt his demon start to emerge, but was even more shocked when he felt Kagome's aura, give a sudden pulse. Looking down he watched in amazement as she began to take on a demon form. He saw her fingernails grow into claws and fangs begin to peek out from her top lip. He struggled to reign in control of his demon as he watched a jagged green mark appear on her. It started at the top of her right shoulder and wrapped it's self around her back down to her left hip. He felt her growl again as she continued to suck him, but this time it was more primal then before. He could feel her demon calling to his, and as she began to suck harder he lost what little control he had. He still knew everything that was going on, but the unexpectedness of his mate turning into her demon form caused him to lose control.

He grabbed her roughly by the hair and growled at her, telling her to release him. Once she had let him go he growled again, demanding that his mate submit to him. He could hear her growl in return and watched as she flipped herself over and rose up on her hands and knees. Inuyasha growled at her willingness, before dropping to his knees and roughly thrusting into her. He was pounding into as hard and fast as possible, and was pleased when he heard her moaning. Her body was calling to him, begging him for his seed. He growled deeply as he heard her howl as she came, and it did not take long before he joined her. He collapsed on her back, using his hands to support his weight, and he waited for the orgasm to pass.

He was not sure how long it took, but slowly he felt his demon receding and felt Kagome's aura start to return to normal. He pulled out of her and watched as her claws disappeared and her mark began to fade, but was surprised when it did not completely vanish. He gave her a few minutes to regain control, before he sat down next to her. Brushing her hair out of the way he spoke gently, "Kagome…?" when she looked at him but did not answer he placed a hand on her shoulder and forced her into a sitting position and said, "Love…talk to me. Are you alright?"

She blinked a few times and then said in a clearly confused voice, "Inuyasha…what happened?"

Instead of answering he took her hand and helped her stand and then asked, "What do you remember?"

She thought for a moment then spoke, "going down on you, then some vague memories of your demon speaking to me, demanding my submission, and then fucking me hard."

He pulled her close, "I'm so sorry love. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I didn't mean to I lost control of my demon again." She could see tears in his eyes. "I'm never meant to hurt you."

"You didn't hurt me, Inuyasha." She said with a clear voice, "I also remember enjoying it immensely. I'm just confused as to why I can't remember everything."

"Your demon side emerged when you smelt my arousal." she could tell he was still upset. "It called to me, to my demon side. It was so strong that I couldn't control it. My demon emerged and I lost control. I'm so, sorry Kagome. I swore I would never let it happen again, but it did."

Kagome sighed turning off the water and wrapped towels around them before leading them to the bedroom. Sitting down on the bed she said, "Why does this upset you so much? If I understand everything correctly, it is my fault we both lost control."

Finally Inuyasha sighed, "Kags, when my demon emerged I lost most of my control. I can't be sure if the seed I offered was fertile or not, but if it was you will probably be pregnant cause your demon would be releasing fertile eggs."

Kagome shrugged at him, "Love, I told you the other night I don't care when I get pregnant. I want to have your children. The only reason I wanted to wait was so we could enjoy our reception and Honeymoon, but if I can't have alcohol then so be it."

Inuyasha stared at her but then asked, "You're not upset that we can't make your fantasy come true?"

Kagome could tell he was mostly kidding, but she crawled into his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "There is always next time." She kissed him gently on the lips and then asked, "First question, since we were both almost, if not full demon at the time what will our child be?"

Inuyasha shook his head, "I can't be one hundred percent, but it is possible that it would be at least ¾ demon."

Kagome nodded and then asked, "And if I'm pregnant how long till you can smell the change in my scent?"

"I can smell the change in six weeks but if you miss your period first we will know. When is it suppose to come again?"

Kagome thought for a moment, "Three weeks. I finished the day I ran into you again."

Inuyasha started at her for a while so she eventually said, "Then we will worry about it then. But to be safe I'll lay off alcohol. Now let's get ready the others will be waiting."

Inuyasha nodded but as she stood up and turned her back he noticed that her demon marks were still there. Reaching out he grabbed her arm. When she turned to look at him he said, "Your marks are still there. We will need to show them to dad. So I would wear a sports bra because you will need to take your shirt off."

Kagome just laughed a little but just nodded her head and went to get dressed. Ten minutes later when they walked in to the back yard, it was to find everyone already there. They all turned to look at them and everyone but Sango raised their eyebrows and started to speak. Inuyasha shook his head but Kagome sighed and said quietly, "they can smell the change in my blood. The demon scent must be strong because even Miroku and Sota can smell it. We have to tell them something until tonight."

Inuyasha nodded, "Your right I'm just glad we don't have to show them your marks yet." Kagome laughed as he continued. "We were going to wait until tonight, but since you can all smell the demon blood in Kags I will say this. The reason Dad is still looking to Kagome and Sota's Family history is because Kagome's blood has strengthened to that of a half demon or more." When they open their mouths he added, "Everything else will wait until tonight."

Slowly everyone agreed and when they did Kagome asked while walking over, "Great now what's for dinner."

Kagome and Inuyasha were so lost in their thoughts as they ate that they didn't notice the looks that their friends were giving them for their unusual behavior. However, no one said anything, instead they all listened to Shippo tell them about his grandparents, aunt, uncle and new cousin. When the meal was done Sango, Hitome, and Ayame drug their men to the kitchen to clean and with a significant look from Sango, Miroku picked up Shippo and took him with them.

It was several minutes before Inuyasha spoke. Turning to Kagome he said softly, "We don't have to include the other in the meeting you know."

Kagome shook her head, "They need to know, especially Sota and Hitome. They need to be prepared. Sango and Miroku are family as well and Koga and Ayame are close friends. I have no reason for not wanting them there."

Inuyasha nodded and then asked, "And Shippo?"

Kagome thought about it for a while before shrugging. "He will eventually need to be told. He is only four but is extremely mature and intelligent. I think he should be there."

Inuyasha nodded his head as he stood up; offering a hand to Kagome he said, "Then let's get this over with."

Kagome smiled but did not say anything as they walked to the study. As they approached they heard voices, and entered just in time to see Miroku finish up introductions. Kagome smiled at everyone as she walked to the front to stand in front of the Camera. "Sorry, Inu and I were talking. I might as well get this over with before you tell us what you found dad." She looked at Inuyasha and when he nodded she pulled her hair up in a quick bun and pulled her shirt off. She could hear the collective gasp from those in the room and as she turned her back to the camera. She could see their shocked faces. She allowed those in Texas a few moments before she turned to face them. She was surprised that Tashiou and Sesshomaru did not look shocked, "Before you begin there is more and I owe everyone here and explanation."
