Life after Kagura was pretty normal. I stayed at Harvard but was accompanied by, my now boyfriend, Sesshomaru. Since he decided he wouldn't leave his soon to be mate without his protection, yeah because that was the real reason for his extended stay.
Not that I minded, I had already spent almost two years without him. He could stay as long as he wanted. We had gotten an apartment together off campus.
So far we hadn't done a whole lot as a couple if you get my drift. Heck most times when we kissed it was just a peck, nothing like our first. It was a little upsetting to say the least. I couldn't bring myself to question him about, I was too afraid to sound pushy. One night he had seen something was bothering me and subtly asked about it.
"Kagome" he kissed my forehead
I gave him my attention, looking into his molten gold eyes.
"How was your day?"
I knew what he was getting at; I had nearly jumped out of my skin earlier when he touched my arm. The sexual tension was a giant ball of frustration, causing my body to overact to the most innocent touch.
Hey I have the sexiest guy on earth living with me, I would think a sane woman would go crazy put in the proximity of him.
So I had two options, tell him the truth or lie my ass off. The latter he would know of so I was left with telling the truth.
I sighed deeply.
"I'm just frustrated…sexually." A bright blush covered my body.
"I know, but I wish to do right by you and wait until after the wedding" he sounded just as bad as me.
Wait did he say wedding?
"You…when…are you asking?" I didn't comprehend that he would do something as human as getting married.
He chuckled, "I was waiting for a more romantic time but yes if you wish me to ask you now I will."
I nodded my head vigorously; he was the only one I wanted to be with, ever.
Getting down on one knee he pulled a silver ring from his nightstand in the bedroom. I had to sit on the bed before I fainted.
The ring was absolutely beautiful; it had a solitary princess cut yellow diamond but I didn't care if it was a fake $10 ring. As long as I got to marry the guy I love.
"Will you marry me Kagome, my love, my mate?" he asked looking a bit anxious of my answer.
Really I don't know why he would think I'd say no to him.
"Yes I would love to marry you Sesshomaru, mate" throwing my arms around his neck and giving him a kiss.
That night we spent cuddled up with one another, just enjoying the others presence. A few times I caught him with his nose in my hair, purring.

The demon Lord of the West, if you had ever said that he would want to mate me I would have thought you mad. But here I am planning my wedding to said demon. I know what you're thinking; the whole miko demon thing isn't going to blow over well with demons and humans alike, but it went a lot better than expected.
When I had told my mother that Sesshomaru had claimed I was his mate, do you know what she said to me?
About time Kagome.
I suppose she had seen the attraction long before either of us had, I guess that's the mothers intuition thing.
Then we went to tell his father and I was scared crap-less, I heard he was a nice guy but I was taking his heir. I was not prepared for the massive hug welcoming me into the family. He was already talking about having grand-pups, which was a subject I didn't want to talk to my mate's father about.
The only one who gave us trouble was the demons Kagura had misinformed. Eventually it had all been cleared up, though there were still those who didn't approve of the union. I say screw 'em.
Oh yeah and Inuyasha was now more involved in the fraternal side of his family. His mother hadn't been too keen on the idea of meeting his father but I had promised to keep him safe. Go figure right, a human miko protecting a strong hanyou, ironic.
Any-who I was getting married next month and I was nervous as hell, don't get me wrong I wasn't having cold feet or anything like that. I was just thinking that at any minute Sesshomaru was going to realize he didn't want me and call the whole wedding off. Even though he assured me multiple times that it wasn't going to happen. I couldn't help but think that it would work that way. I mean he's Mr. handsome and I'm just plain old Kagome. And all the demoness' that were hanging around like a bunch of stray bitches in heat were making me doubt myself all the more. They could offer him power, full blooded pups. The most I could offer him was my love.
Love, the thing that had fueled me to the point I was now. I had to have faith that he loved me as well.
He Loves me.
He loves me.
He loves me.
I chanted until I felt better, I knew he loved me so I shouldn't worry. I was his mate and according to Ayame, like wolves, inu-youkai mated for life.
But it seems his father broke that law of nature when he slept with Inuyasha's mother.
Oh great just when I was feeling better.
I needed to speak with Toga; maybe clear some things up and put my fears to rest.
Toga, you have some splain'in to do.
