Sesshomaru waited for the arrival of his cousin who shall be bringing his mate to him fully clad in garments appropriate for a lady.

A second later, Hideo appeared carrying Kagome in his arms. She wriggled away from him, still as loud as before.

"Go to your mate, love," Hideo drawled, provoking the hot-tempered miko.

She glared. "Stop ordering me around," she hissed coldly.

He smirked inwardly. Perfect, she is fearless enough to stand up against his mother.

Striding purposely toward her, he told Hideo, "No one has the right to order this Sesshomaru's mate. Go, make preparations."

She stiffened upon hearing his voice. Pulling her close, he leaned down to whisper beside her ear, "Come."

"Where?" She questioned nervously, gulping loudly.

To scare her further, he replied impassively, "Bed."
