Naomi sat there disappointed in herself until InuKimi patted her paw saying, "If some hussy were trying to take my mate I most likely would have done the same thing you did." Which only made her feel slightly better she certainly was in a pickle, and her mate was bound to be angry with her.

~ Back With Sesshomaru ~

Sesshomaru bounded ahead of his sire racing towards his parents castle wanting nothing more than to be with his mate again and get to making up so they could return home to their pups. He made it to the castle walls, and just bounded over them being careful not to step on anyone as he did. He followed his mate's scent to the back garden where he found her sitting with his Mother he started to race over to her when his Mother held up her hand saying, "Hold it right there mister. I have taught you better than this giving attention to a female other than your mate, and neglecting your duties to her shame on you."

Sesshomaru instantly felt like a little boy being scolded by his Mother like she was he knew he was grown but she was right she had taught him better and had always stressed keeping his interest in his bedchambers with his mate. She even went as far as to hire a male tutor to teach the art of lovemaking so that he would never grow bored with his chosen female. He had failed in keeping the spice up in his bedroom and had been ignoring his duties as a mate.

His Mother sighed saying, "Take her to the cave behind the castle, and make up with her the sooner you two make up, the sooner you can return home to your pups." Sesshomaru nodded, and then looked over at his mate barking to follow only she didn't bother to look at him she just laid down. InuKimi chuckled saying, "I believe an apology is in order son." As soon as her mate arrived InuKimi, and Inu No Tashio both headed into the castle to let them work out their problems alone.

Sesshomaru looked over at his mate, and barked out, "I am sorry my love I should have only been thinking of you there was no excuse for my behavior. I should have listened to your instincts, and never brought that woman into our home. Please allow me to make it up to you." He looked at her in the way his pups looked at him when they wanted something he had said no to hoping the look would work on her too.

Naomi looked at the cute sad, forlorn puppy face that her mate was giving her, and it made her heart melt. She so wanted to stay mad at him but she just couldn't. She followed her instincts and walked over to him rubbing into him. Sesshomaru whimpered for good measure Naomi finally settled herself next to her mate with her neck exposed to her mate. Sesshomaru nuzzled her neck before leading her to the cave where he claimed his mate once more finally allowing her to return to her human form. Sesshomaru transformed as well himself created his bubble and held his sleeping mate bridal style as he took them both home to their pups. He landed on the balcony of their bedchambers and opened the door to find the room surprisingly empty. Sesshomaru instantly panicked where were his Sons?

Naomi felt her mate become frantic, and awoke from her sleep she touched his ear to help him calm down, and once he was looking down on her, she said, "I moved them to the nursery, and the girls got a bigger room so we could have more couple time together."

Sesshomaru looked down at his mate, and couldn't help but to kiss her passionately. It was hard for him to be as passionate, and intimate as he wanted to with his pups in the room too. He always worried they would wake up, and they'd have to stop. Sesshomaru pulled away, and grinned at his mate's flustered appearance saying, "I am so lucky to have a mate that thinks of me so much."

Naomi blushed slightly replying, "Well I missed our passionate love making too Sesshomaru, and while I love our pups, they do make it difficult to let loose truly. Perhaps we can have some couple time before we add more to our family." Sesshomaru grinned before replying, "I am agreeable to that I'd love to reignite our passion, and find what we both enjoy once again."

He continued to carry her into the nursery, and there were his Sons in small beds with the nanny. He put his mate down and looked both of them over before heading to the girl's room Naomi followed quietly behind him receiving a knowing look from the nanny causing her to blush. Sesshomaru followed their scent to a room a little further down the hall he entered and found the girls in two large beds more appropriate for growing girls. They were a bit further but still close enough for him to get to quickly if needed.

He turned, and scooped up his mate racing towards his bedchambers, and throwing her on the bed before claiming her again in a whirlwind of heated passion. When they were finally done, Naomi had fallen asleep from sheer exhaustion. Sesshomaru smirked he had worn his mate out she was going to have to get used to it with no pups in the room he was going to want to claim her every night, and claim her every night was exactly what he had planned to do once he got rid of the threat Chie presented. He would address this menace and figure out what to do once he had gotten some rest. For now, he was content to hold his mate and inhale her scent which was drenched with his own. He smirked at the thought of how she would be blushing tomorrow when all noticed how much she smelled of him. He soon happily drifted off to sleep content to be with his mate, and for the first time in a long time realizing just how lucky he was.

He woke up bright, and early the next morning he hated to leave her, but he needed to plan. He called in his best guards to send messages to the other lords about Chie while he strategized on what to do about her. He refused to sit, and wait for her to return to his castle where she could harm his mate and pups. However, going North wasn't the answer either. It was filled with the lowest of the low, and typically when a demon was banished, he or she was sent there. He had many enemies in the North. He paced back, and forth while he tried to come up with an answer, but the only real answer was to start a war with the North, and clean the area up, and appoint a new Lord of the lands.

That was when the answer hit him InuYasha, and his mate the Northern lands would be a perfect place for Hanyu's to call home and have a voice with the full-blooded demons. No one else wanted to claim the North but cleaning it up was something that shouldn't be put off any longer as it posed a threat to all of the other lords the only question was would InuYasha want to be lord of the Northern lands. He sent his fastest messenger to his Brother asking him to come with his mate and pups. Within a few hours all the lords had shown up along with his Brother, and within moments of his Brother's arrival he had two females one being his asking, "What's going on here?"

He pulled his mate to him saying, "Lords and ladies we have made a mistake with the North by allowing all undesirables to go there, and collect together there are enough demons there to form an army, and take down each of our lands individually. Recently the West had a female that had been banished there infiltrate into our guard and try to situate herself so as to take the place of my mate. This put both my mate, and pups at risk of harm due to this female, and her desire to acquire me. I realize we all made a mistake by allowing this to happen so I ask we all band together to take over the North, and place my Brother InuYasha, and his mate in charge of the Northern lands. I would rather a Hanyu run the North then these hoodlums banding together making it so that no one is safe."
