Okay so this chapter is a little... detailed so anyone under the age of 13 reading this please read with care!

"It's time." Sheumaru sniffed the air, but she didn't need to. She felt the pull, she could hear every male dog or wolf demon for miles. She could feel her need for them. She had started her heat again, the wolf and dog demon mating season had begun.

"What's with-oh." InuYasha started, seeing his sister's strange behavior, but stopped when he walked within a foot of her.

"Yes." She stated simply, "I'll be living in the mountains for two weeks."

"I see. I'll let the others know so they won't worry." InuYasha began to turn around to go back to camp, where a warm fire and their friends awaited him. They had left less then ten minutes ago, wanting to scope out the perimeter of the camp.

"Brother?" She asked. She could feel her throat closing up on her, as if someone was holding her there, suffocating her.

"Yes?" He turned back around.

"What if I find someone?" She thought back to Jinoku, she knew he was out there searching for her, ready to mate with her, and she just might say yes.

"Then you find someone." He retorted, as if she was stupid.

"Would you be alright with that brother? I promised you when we first met that I would help you find the rest of the jewel shards.. but.." She couldn't finish the thought, it scared her to her core.

"Nobody said you can't have a mate and look for the jewel shards at the same time, sister." He put his clawed hand on her shoulder, than he pulled her into a hug. She stiffened beneath him out of shock, her brother was showing a rare sign of affection, this must have meant that he felt every word.

"You deserve to be happy Sheumaru." He whispered into her ear as he pulled away.

She smiled lightly at her older brother, over his shoulder she could clearly see Kagome tending to the fire as Shippo sat next to her. She pointed at the scene. InuYasha followed the end of her finger.

"So do you, brother of mine."

He scoffed. "Yeah sure. Now go you're bothering my nose!" He added jokingly and smiled.

She smiled back at him then turned around and dashed into the trees. She could feel her demonic energy amplifying, changing into her full demon for the mating season. She jumped up the side of the closest mountain and settled herself for the longest fortnight of the year.

It wasn't long before a suitor made himself present, trying to convince her to lay with him. Before she could get her refusal out, Jinoku walked into the mouth of the cave. Sheumaru backed up against the wall as she heard Jinoku growl and they started to circle each other threateningly.

Jinoku struck first, using his claws he clawed up the intruders body. The wolf demon cried out, infuriated and in pain, the wolf took his own claws and slashed across Jinoku's face. Sheumaru gasped as the blood from the scratch dripped ever so slowly on the cave stone ground.

"Don't worry love, I'm fine." Jinoku assured her, a cocky grin began to stretch out his lips. When he turned back to face his opponent, his fists were raised and his feet were in a fighting stance. Sheumaru nodded at his assurance, she watched Jinoku punch the wolf demon, the head flung backwards, but the wolf was not deterred from the other male.

The wolf drew his sword and Sheumaru's growl was deep and powerful, it commanded attention as it shook the cave walls.

"No weapons!" She hissed.

The wolf was standing stock still at her reaction, and while he was distracted, Jinoku took his time body slamming his challenger out of the cave and pushing him to the ground fifteen feet below them.

Jinoku smirked at his victory and Sheumaru quickly ran up to him and hugged him. It had been so long since she simply touched him, and now he was here, for her!

"I see you've missed me? How I've missed you." He admitted, hugging her tightly to him.

"What shall we do for the next few weeks?" She asked looking up at him, a mischievous glint in her amber eyes.

"I think you know perfectly well what we're going to do." His smirk only seemed to grow wider until realization dawned on him, his eyes softened in understanding and the smirk faded.

"Unless you wish to wait until the next mating season? We could cuddle and keep each other company instead? I don't want to make you feel you need to do this." Jinoku pulled her away from him so she could look into his eyes when she answered his question.

"Jinoku, I want this more than anything, and that's not the heat talking. But if you wish to do the other things you suggested, I would love that as well." She pulled on his shirt.

"How about we do a little bit of both?" His confident smirk was back, and she bit her lip and smiled.

He started to slip her hakama off her shoulders, and stopped pulling when he got to her breasts.

"If at anytime you feel uncomfortable, we may stop." Jinoku promised. Sheumaru gripped the hand he used to pull at her clothing and pushed it farther down, so that her chest was exposed.

"I am completely comfortable with you as I hope you are with me." She assured him, he gulped and nodded, when he got to her legs the hakama fell easily to the floor.

There she stood, bare for him to see everything he wished. He than undressed himself quickly, when he was done, he took a step forward to obliterate the small space between them and gave her a light peck on the lips. However, the kiss quickly began to deepen as they stood, pressed against each others naked bodies.

"You are so beautiful, has anyone ever told you that?" Jinoku asked, when they finally broke away from each other.

"No not really." She admitted.

"Then shame on them!" Jinoku laughed, it was deep and hearty and warm. It made her feel warm, as if all she needed was him and she could be anywhere and be able to call that place home.

That was her last coherent thought as once again they were distracted by each other's curves. The mating started out innocent, starting with kisses on the face, then slowly the kisses were trails from their faces that lead down each other's lean bodies.

But then... it was other worldly. Every nerve ending was tingling and recharging after every outburst of ecstasy, they were at peace with one another. After every little bit they each wanted more and so they'd keep looking for more. It was amazing and Sheumaru was very glad she had found the right one to do every thing with for her first time.

Jinoku was always gentle, afraid he might break her smaller build with his bigger one, he would whisper sweet nothings into her ear that made her crave for more of his voice. His hands would trace every inch of her body as he mentioned them in her ear. It was sweet, it made her feel safe and warm and comforted. She was happy that Jinoku was to be her mate for life, she couldn't have asked for a better one.

XxXx

It was a week into the mating season, and Jinoku had Sheumaru wrapped in his arms as they cuddled quietly at the back of the cave. There was a slight rustle in the tops of the trees just outside the cave. Two pairs of sleepy eyes widened at the sound. Then someone was at the cave entrance. This confused the two dog demons, Sheumaru had chosen a mate, her scent should've changed to ward off any potential suitors.

Jinoku was still weary at the intruder, squeezing Sheumaru's arms to reassure her, he stood up still bare from their time together, but she couldn't admire his form now, she was scared as she watched her mate's back muscles tense.

Then a familiar voice called out and she let out the sigh of relief she had been saving.

"Sheumaru?" A human girl whispered, walking up to Jinoku slowly, thinking that the male was her friend.

Jinoku growled threateningly at Kagome, and the girl froze in her tracks realizing her mistake.

"Jinoku, she's a friend of mine. She means no harm to us." Sheumaru whispered at her mate as she started to walk behind him. She would've walked past him, but even though she knew Kagome and knew the human girl would never do anything to hurt her, she was running purely on instincts, and her instincts trusted Jinoku more.

Kagome walked further into the cave when she heard a female voice.

"Sheumaru is that you?" Then something flickered on and was pointed at the dog demon's faces.

Jinoku growled again and Kagome quickly put the flashlight away in her bag when she got a glimpse of her friend. Her next words were strong but kind.

"I mean your mate and yourself no harm. I merely brought food."

Sheumaru rushed forward at the sound of food, and took the tins out of Kagome's hands. She let Jinoku sniff the tins before she started to pick at the food. At her mate's nod of approval, she dug into her meal, leaving two tins out for him.

Unlike a year's previous Kagome did not stay longer to question Sheumaru as she saw how uneasy her friend's chosen mate was toward the human girl.

She said her goodbyes quickly and left on Kirara. The pair ate the food in silence.

"That human girl.. she cares for you." Jinoku remarked.

Sheumaru nodded, "all my friends do. We care for each other like a pack."

"And would I be.. welcome into this pack of yours?" He was nervous, she could smell it on him, even though he tried to hide it.

Her hand froze to her mouth, she put it down on her dish and used her free hand to hold his.

She held his eye contact when she spoke, "they would welcome you with open arms." She assured him.

"Really?" He asked.

She nodded and smiled at his nervousness.

"Okay." And with that they finished their meals. They placed their empty tins on the ground, and walked further into the cave.

They laid down once more in each other's arms, and slept for the rest of the night in peace.

XxXx

The mating season was over now and Sheumaru led the way back to her friends, holding her mate's hand in assurance the entire way. She found them not minutes away from their cave, they had not moved over the fortnight that she was gone. She was moved by their worry for her that they stopped looking for Narraku, but at the same time felt guilty for the same reasons.

It was night, so it was no surprise that her pack was sitting around a small fire with skewers of fish cooking for their meal. InuYasha was the first one to realize the new demon among their midst, and he was hesitant when seeing that his baby sister was not by herself.

"So... you found a mate did you?" InuYasha looked Jinoku in the eye, as if in warning to the other male demon.

"Yes, brother I did. He's an old friend of Farther's." She stated proudly, squeezing her mate's hand.

"And he has agreed to come on our little adventure to stop Narraku?" Sango asked surprised.

Jinoku nodded, "I will follow her till the ends of the earth."

Kagome sighed contentedly and Sheumaru blushed at his words. InuYasha scoffed at what he deemed to be "lovey-dovey-mushy-stuff".

"Sure, whatever, just quit doing that."

"Come now InuYasha, they're mates, let them be." Miroku said.

"You only like them being like this because you're a pervert monk!" Sango jibbed.

"Leave me alone woman!"

The group laughed at the pair.
