Chapter 35

Kagome rushed through the well house. Three days had passed since Sesshomaru had requested her help with Rin and she found, in that time, that she had not had a single nightmare. Kagome felt strong and well rested and wonderful. The stinging pain between her legs reminded her that the love she had made with Sesshomaru had not been a dream and she was happy. Returning home, Kagome found her mother in the kitchen. She knew that she wanted to ask her mother for advice, but wasn't sure how to broach the subject of her lost virginity. Kagome walked around the kitchen for a few minutes, picking up dishes and wiping counter tops and eventually her mother turned off the sink and looked at her quizzically.
'What is it, Kagome?' she asked, 'you never help in the kitchen unless you want to talk to me about something.' Kagome blushed a deep crimson and looked at the ground. 'You know you can talk to me about anything, dear.' She smiled lightly at her daughter. Kagome fidgeted slightly. 'Well….I…' she began, stuttering. 'I…lost my…uh…' the blush deepened and spread to her ears. 'Kagome, just spit it out! Goodness!' her mother chided her. Clenching her eyes closed, Kagome half screamed, 'I lost my virginity three nights ago!' Both women stood in the kitchen, silent and shocked at the outburst.
Thank KAMI Souta was at a friend's house, Kagome thought to herself. Kagome heard her mother clearing her throat and she gulped in some much needed oxygen. 'Kagome, you…are you ok?' her mother began, a hint of panic in her voice. Kagome sighed slightly, 'Yea, Momma, I'm ok. I just…I'm in a predicament. I don't love the man that I…' Kagome stopped before saying what she meant. Her mother nodded. 'Then why did you sleep with him, dear?' she questioned lightly. Kagome sighed again. How to explain? –I've dreamt of this man for months and then I found him in real life and we slept with each other?—She didn't think that sounded very believable. But then again, after falling through a well 500 years in the past…what WASN'T believable?
Her mother shook her head, 'so you knew him intimately before you slept with him?' she repeated, slightly confused. 'Yea, that about sums it up.' Kagome's mother tilted her head slightly to the side, 'Then what's the problem, dear?' Kagome looked down. 'He's…Inyasha's older brother. He's the Lord of the West.'
