Right...soooo...been a while...
Sorry.
But, I believe I told you the reason as to why. It took some effort to get this chapter out since inspiration was...absent.
So, I've taken to drawing Sesshomaru and Kaname together to try and get my groove back. I have also not touched my computer much, mostly- and not gonna lie- Nier: Automata had been taking up my time...along with My Hero Academia.
9s is such a cute little dork~! 2b is soooooooooooo cooooool~! (Although that game fucked me up emotionally...da fuck yo...)
Katsuki Bakugou acted like such a villain when he was introduced, that I Honestly thought he was going down the wrong career path. And Deku is such a fucking adorable little bundle of nerves. But, thats his charm I guess~!
Ah, also tried to watch Diabolic love(r's?)...
That...uh...That kinda...derailed quickly in the first episode...
...
...
...
...Like holy shit wut.
AH! Also I was watching...something (Don't remember what it was) when the thought of Kaname being reborn into Inuyasha as someone else's elder sibling came to mind. Does anyone want to read that little one-shot? Because I've been dabbling with the idea (And it made me laugh for some odd reason).
I dunno, just a thought.
Because...if this is still here, it's because I forgot to erase it for the actual title...
It was rare for Kaname to be surprised.
She was a fairly calm person, going with the flow if it didn't clash with her personality.
So, when they had made camp for the night, she was understandably shocked when Sesshomaru had all but manhandled her until they were out of sight. When she had opened her mouth to question why they were out here, she let out a gasp that quickly turned into a small moan when her mouth was sealed with Sesshomaru's.
His hand gripped her hip possessively, dragging her flush to his chest, as he angled his head to the side, deepening the kiss.
Kaname felt like her heart would burst from her chest when she felt his tongue sensually licking her own, making her knees weak and threatening to buckle.
When they finally parted, Kaname had to hold onto his shoulders to keep from falling. "M-My...Sesshomaru...What-?" she panted, trying to catch her breath. She paused in speaking when she felt him lean down, feeling his warm breath against her ear.
"You seemed to have forgotten, Kaname." he mumbled, a small growl making its way into his voice as his grip on her hip tightened.
"F...Forgotten...?" she mumbled, distracted as she could feel one of his claws tracing circles. The action sent a shocking sensation up her spine.
"Hn." he hummed, lips grazing her ear, before nipping it.
"And what...h-have I forgotten...?"
He growled, burying his face into her neck and nipping at the flesh. He mentally preened in making a choked moan come out of her. "That I am male. That such...suggestions-" he growled, punctuating the word with jerking their body's together. "are dangerous."
It took a moment for Kaname to try and remembered what she had 'suggested' to Sesshomaru, understanding as her mind was starting to be muddled with lust, before earlier popped into her mind.
Sesshomaru, seeming to have know that she remembered, lent back and stared into her eye's. His pupils were dilated, an intense hunger in them as he studied her own dilating eye's. "To want pup's before the summer season, we would have to mate right here, right now for it to be possible. And yet, you would like to wait until we have mated officially to do so. Suggest such a thing again, and I can guarantee you, Kaname, that I will not hold back these urges to take you where ever we may be. And I will not stop until you are bearing my pup's, until you forget any other male in your life, until your voice is hoarse from screaming my name." he trailed his hand up her side, feeling her shiver along with smelling her arousal, before arriving at her chin and holding it. "This will be your only warning. Lord I may be, but I am a male with desires. With said desire being a very tempting female that is always near."
And with that, he let her go and stepped back. He smirked at how she fell to the ground, flushed and slightly panting.
Kaname, on the other hand, was in conflict right now. On one hand, she was raised to wait for marriage before giving herself to anyone. It would preserve the honor of her family, she wouldn't be shamed by having to have a child out of wedlock. On the other hand, well...
Sesshomaru you shouldn't do such things. She thought, trying to get her mind straight. She was so tempted to say 'fuck it' and have him take her right there and then.
"I...I shall not...try and temp you again..." she stuttered, coughing into her hand and standing back up. "Maybe." she mumbled lowly.
"Hn." Sesshomaru hummed, amusement evident in his tone. "Come, rarely do we have time to ourselves." he gestured towards a fallen tree trunk. He sat there and waited for Kaname, "I am curious, what are the courting's like in your time."
Kaname hummed, furrowing her brows in thought, "Well...that depends on the country. In America they use to betroth women to men, even if they knew nothing of one another, but now women and men go through a phase of 'dating'. This phase is a time for the couple to know one another better, to see if the other would be a suitable partner for life. If one deems the other suitable, then the male will get a ring and present it to the female asking for her hand in marriage. The woman can either accept, or reject him, and from there months of planning usually happens..." Kaname continued to explain all of the marriage tradition she knew of, which wasn't much, but it was enough to sate Sesshomaru's curiosity.
Meanwhile, Higurashi Kagome, up and coming Miko extraordinaire, was currently in a crisis of her own.
"MY SISTER IS GETTING MARRIED TO YOUR PSYCHO BROTHER!"
Mainly about the fact that her sister was getting married.
"SHE'S ACTUALLY GETTING MARRIED! MY SOCIALLY AWKWARD, INTROVERTED, ASEXUAL SISTER- WHO BEAT A BOY WHO ONLY THOUGHT ABOUT TALKING TO HER TO NEAR DEATH- IS GETTING MARRIED?!" she yelled, punching the ground as tears streamed down her face.
"A-Ah...Kagome-chan?" Sango hesitated, a safe distance away from the teen with the others. "Do...you not want your sister to marry...orrr...?"
"Maybe it's because it's Sesshomaru that-" Miroku started, only to get cut off when Kagome threw a rock near them.
"I CAN'T EVEN GET A FUCKING DATE WITHOUT THE THREAT IF MY SISTER DISEMBOWELING THEM HANGING OVER MT HEAD, AND SHE'S GETTING MARRIED?!" She howled.
"Ah." Sango, Miroku, and Shippo stated. "So that's what this is about..."
"...I feel like I should be the one complainin' here." Inuyasha pipped in, scratching his neck as he watched Kagome lay face down in the dirt. "I mean, I'm about to be related to the one person who wants my head on a pike."
Kagome paused, slowly lifting her head up and blankly staring at Inuyasha. "...I'm going to have to call Sesshomaru 'Onii-sama'..." she stated calmly. "I'm...going to be...related to...Sesshomaru." Her eye's then widened. "Oh god your brother is going to get my sister pregnant." she whispered in horror.
Inuyasha blanched, face tinting green. "Hurk-! AUGH DON'T SAY THAT!" he yelled, shivering into a revolting scowl as images started to sneak into his mind. "AUGH GROSS! I DON'T NEED THAT IMAGE!"
"The baby is going to be so fucking beautiful." she muttered absently, staring dead ahead.
"Baby's" Sango said.
Kagome looked at her.
Sango furrowed her brows, "Sesshomaru is a dog demon, and dog demons have litters, not just one baby."
…
…
"...What."
"What? Bullshit! My old man was a dog demon and only had me!" Inuyasha said.
Sango raised a brow at him, "That's because your mother was a normal mortal. A noble at that, so she didn't have much stamina to begin with since she never had to do anything, thus making her body a lot more weaker then most. Kaname-sama, on the other hand, is a miko who's trained in weaponry. The fact that her body is use to a supernatural power inside of her because of her reiki, along with building muscle from physical work, means that she would be able to actually have a litter of pups." she paused, letting it sink in, before adding "Now, 'will the pups survive' is the question that should be asked."
"Oh?" Miroku hummed, interested in this information on Inu-youkais.
"Hm. It seems that the dog demons have been interbreeding for quite some time now, and it's affecting the birthing of litters. I guess this is why Inuyasha only has Sesshomaru for a brother, and not four or five more like they use to."
"..."
"..."
"...How the hell do you know about this?" Inuyasha questioned.
Sango deadpanned him. "I'm a demon slayer. I have to know things like this for hunting."
"My sister is going to have at least two kids before she's even twenty..." Kagome stated blankly. "What the fuuuuuuuuck." She whispered.
"...K-Kagome...?" Shippo asked, concerned about how she was acting. She started mumbling to herself, ignoring their gazes.
"Hm..." Miroku hummed, walking up to her and crouching to get a better look. He waved his hand in front of her face, "Lady Kagome?" he said, snapping his fingers and getting no reaction. He tapped his chin in thought, tilting his head to the side slightly, before slowly reaching his hand out and caressing her bottom.
The sound of a slap was loud and heavy.
Miroku fell back from the force, sighing as he looked back saw that nothing had changed. It seemed to be an automatic reaction, "Well then, it seems she's in shock." he concluded, brushing off his clothes as he stood up.
"Monk." Sango hisses.
Miroku froze, a smile on his face as he slowly turned around. He resolutely ignored the sweat going down his face. "yeeees~?"
Sango stared at him for a moment or two, before shooting forward and punching him in the face. She huffed in irritation as she passed the knock out monk towards Kagome. "Lech." she muttered as she hoisted Kagome up, gesturing for Inuyasha to do the same for Miroku, before starting to walk. "we should probably find a village for the time being, or a nice spot to stop at until Kagome snaps out of it."
Inuyasha was in no hurry to disagree with her. Sango was scary when she was like this.
Amanda realized she had a problem when she was making a plan to kill the miko.
And that was that she's never killed before, thus had no idea how the hell she was suppose to do it. She couldn't stab her, Kaname would just dodge it and chop her head off, poison was also a no go as she didn't have any idea how to make it.
And then there was Sesshomaru...who was always watching her. He could kill her before she could blink.
I should have thought this through. Amanda thought as they traveled, she had no idea where they were going since the next arc that involved Sesshomaru was later. Fuck it, I'll just wing it. It can't be hard to catch her off guard once Sesshomaru isn't around. She decided, and instead tried to figure out if they were anywhere near the next arc. She was pretty sure that they didn't just happen one after another. Well...I could just ask. She mused. "Excuse me, Lord Sesshomaru?"
Amber eye's flickered briefly in her direction.
"Where are we headed to?"
The demon was silent for a moment, before deciding to answer. "We are headed to my palace." and as he said this, Amanda saw the lords gaze turn to Kaname. The priestess seemed to know exactly why they were heading there.
"Oh...alright..." she mumbled, blinking in wonder. I don't think...I've ever seen his home. She thought. Wait wasn't it shown in the manga? Or was that his mother's home?
Either way, she was excited to see where he lived.
That excitement didn't last long as she saw how close Sesshomaru and Kaname were. Kaname was smiling more, Sesshomaru was walking as close as he possibly could. The occasional glimpse of his hand on her lower back, seeming to guide her, could be seen.
She was insanely jealous.
After a few night's of seeing them sleep side by side, seeing the glances they shared, the amount of times they took off to be alone, the gifts, Amanda decided to voice her question on what was going on.
She did not like the answer.
"WHAT."
Rin giggled, happily nodding in excitement, "Mama and Papa are getting married! Rin is oh so excited, Rin'll get a brother or sister to look after and be a big sister again!"
Amanda just stared at the engaged couple in shock. "B-BUT I THOUGH YOU DIDN'T LIKE HUMANS!" she paused for a second before adding, "OR HANYOUS!"
Sesshomaru narrowed his eye's at her, and Kaname sent a look that spoke volumes on how she thought Amanda was an idiot. Yet it was Rin who answered.
"But Rin is human." she stated confused. Because if her papa didn't like humans, then why did he save Rin? And why would he bother giving mama loving looks (deny it all he wants, Rin knew what she was talking about!) when she wasn't looking?
"And it is a human he has decided to court." Kaname said dryly. "Your argument is invalid."
"Who lord Sesshomaru decide to court in none of your business girl!" Jaken huffed, waving his staff at her. "Honestly, I'm starting to think all of you mortal girls are stupid!" a cough from behind him made him splutter, "L-Lady Kaname and Rin the exception, o-of course!" he hastily corrected.
Amanda couldn't argue Rin, but she could for Kaname. "B-But she's a Miko!"
Sesshomaru's irritation grew, "As stated earlier, who I decide as my mate is of no concern of yours." he glared.
Amanda made to open her mouth, but instead screamed in pain as the bone in her forearm snapped. Toppling to the ground, she wondered what happened. Looking around through tears, she found a rock next to her. Blinking she slowly looked towards the only person in the group she knew threw rocks at people, and saw the handful Sesshomaru had.
"Silence." he commanded, the threat of another hit was evident.
JESUS CHRIST?! She wondered, He's never broken Any of Jaken's bones with a rock before! She didn't understand why he put so much force behind it. She knew it must have hurt, Jaken's sqwak in the anime was telling enough, but it shouldn't be that painful!
Kaname hummed, "Hmmm, so that's what happens if you try to do that to a human instead of a demon." she observed, seeming to ignore how Amanda was breathing harshly and cradling her arm.
Sesshomaru hn'd, "Mortals are fairly weak if such insignificant force can break a bone when it would only leave Jaken with a bruise." he commented.
"Well...Demons are more sturdier then us." Kaname shrugged. "Oh would you stop your sniveling?! It is just a broken arm, it will mend!"
Amanda looked in disbelief at her, "Just a broken arm?!" she spluttered.
Kaname raised a brow, "Yes. That is nothing to cry over. Even Rin has had worst then such."
Amanda looked towards the child, who nodded. "Mhm, the village Rin use to live in was attacked quite often. Bandits don't care if you're a little girl or not, they will cut you down if they see you. Demons and bears do much worse."
…
..
…
...What the fuck. Was all Amanda could think.
A day later and they arrived in a clearing, Amanda was confused as to why they stopped since it was still morning. Is it so we could heal my arm? She thought hopefully. Because the only first aid she has gotten was from Rin, as the little adorable bundle was eager to offer help for practice.
She had to admit that there wasn't much pain anymore. Whatever Rin had put on her arm worked wonders. What I wouldn't give for a pain killer. She mentally sighed.
"My Sesshomaru?" Kaname questioned.
"Rin, get on A-Un." was all he said while wrapping an arm around Kaname's waist. "our destination lays above us." and with that, he gather his youkai and lifted them towards the sky.
"Hya!" Jaken yelled, mushing A-Un into action.
"AGH! WAIT FOR ME!" Amanda yelped, seeing that she was being left behind. She ran towards the dragon that was a foot off the ground already.
Rin giggled, "Silly Mason-san, you shouldn't daydream so much or you'll be left behind." she gripped onto the older girls sleeve and helped her on just as A-Un jumped upwards.
Amanda groaned.
It didn't take long to arrive at the palace.
And it was beautiful. Coming into the courtyard- where dozens of demons in armor greeted them- she could see humongous dog statues in various states of action. The courtyard itself was larger then three football fields. Which, ok, makes sense since a lot of demons seem to be very big. She mused, looking over the guards they passed. Holy shit their all pretty as fuck.
Ahead she could see Sesshomaru and Kaname standing before a large group of people. Are those is retainers? They probably were, and by the looks they were sending the miko, she guessed they weren't happy about her being near their lord. ….Could I use that?
"Lord Sesshomaru, it is wonderful to have you back." an elderly (Still fucking handsome) demon stated as he bowed. The woman next to him bowing as well, looking far to young to be the mans wife, and showing an ample amount of cleavage.
"Hn. I will not be for long, Iro. I am merely here to search through father's journals." Sesshomaru grunted, walking past the demon with Kaname following. Rin and Jaken had dismounted, Amanda following after some struggle, and hurried to catch up.
The now named Iro nodded, his eye's narrowing on the miko and Rin. "I see...Well, I had just thought you should know that there are a few eligible females here to meet-"
"That will not be necessary." Sesshomaru cut in.
The old demon sighed, "My Lord, you may not want a mate, but it is necessary-"
"It will not be necessary, Iro, because I have already found a female." The lord cut in again, seemingly irritated at the male.
Iro blinked in shock, a small frown working its way on his face. "Oh, truly?"
The demon woman who had been silent all this time decided to speak up, "May we know the identity of your intended my lord?"
Sesshomaru stopped, causing the other to stop as well, before looking over his shoulder at them in thought. He then nodded towards Kaname, making the miko step up and an amused smile.
"Hello, I am Higurashi Kaname, My Sesshomaru's future mate." her smile turned into a smirk at the shocked looks she received. "Tis a pleasure."
Shit's about to get real. Amanda thought as she watched the demon's expression turn to shocked outrage.
Sango was impressed.
For a village in the middle of a demon forest, it's very peaceful and prosperous. She noted mentally, strolling through the main road. Then again, with a barrier like that, they don't have much to worry about.
She would admit to laughing when Inuyasha ran into it earlier.
Said demon being crabby as he had to have a talisman on his person to get through. They were lucky that two hanyou's were nearby and had some on their person, so thankfully Shippo and Kirara didn't get shocked as well.
"So what brings you to our village?" the boy, Tomo, questioned curiously.
"If it's to attack, I wouldn't advise it. You would lose." Touka injected.
"Oh?" Miroku inquired, having woken up an hour after being knocked out. Sango mentally noted that she needed to up her training if the monk could shake off her slap within an hour. Either that, or he had gotten use to it, thus still the need to train more.
The twins nodded, "Because every villager here can fight you off."
Sango blinked, "What?"
"Our Lady Miko taught us how to fight off invaders. The barrier keeps out demons, so we usually have to only worry about mortals." Touka said.
"And even then, quite a few of us know how to fight demons, so it's not a problem if they ever do get through." Tomo shrugged, waving at a group of women in greeting.
A group of women that had weapons on their person. Sango observed, eyebrows going up In surprise. It reminded her of her village.
"Fascinating." Miroku noted. "And your Lady Miko also taught them about demons I assume?" he received a nod, he hummed. "I would certainly like to meet her."
"You can't." they answered, spotting an elderly man that was waiting for them.
"And why not?" Inuyasha growled.
"Because Lady Kaname is not here." The elderly man spoke up, gaining the groups attention. He gave a warm smile to them, "Greetings, I am Kensuke, current leader of the village until our lady comes back." he bowed slightly towards them.
"Hello, I am Sango, a Demon slayer." she greeted back, before gesturing towards the others. "This is the Monk Miroku, Inuyasha a hanyou, Shippo a Fox demon, Kirara My partner, and Higurashi Kagome a miko."
Chattering was heard around them, eyes seeming to look at Kagome in awe.
Miroku looked around in confusion, "Please tell me we didn't say something wrong."
"All I did was introduce us. Maybe they know something about our group?" Sango suggested.
Inuyasha huffed, hand gripping Tetsusaiga, "I'll jus' blow 'em away if they attack. We can take 'em."
Kensuke, who had been frozen in shock, snapped out of it and moved towards the group. He ignored how they tensed, and instead inspected an unconscious Kagome riding the giant feline. "'Higurashi' you said?" he mused aloud, before recognition lightened his eyes. "Oh my! You should have spoken sooner that her ladyships sister was with you! Pardon our rudeness!" He announced, turning the the awaiting villagers. "She is indeed our Lady's sister, come come, let us throw a feast on this momentous occasion!"
The village cheered.
The group looked confused as fuck.
That is, until Miroku seemed to connect the name to a face. He blinked, going up to the elder and coughed. "Excuse, but your lady Miko wouldn't happen to be Higurashi Kaname...would it?" he inquired.
The elder smiled happily, "Why yes, yes she is! Have you encountered her as of late? Might I inquire to see how she is holding up, along with Lord Sesshomaru and dear Rin-chan?"
…
..
…
…
"...What the hell?" Inuyasha deadpanned.
Later found the group among the celebrating people, sake and food's of all kinds being passed around. Miroku was flirting with the single ladies of the village, Sango discussing smithing techniques with the local blacksmiths- the later admiring her weapon- and imparting small bits of knowledge onto them, Shippo was joyfully playing with the local children, and finally Inuyasha was residing in the shrine with Kagome. The hanyou was not in the mood to be down there, he was still trying to get over the fact that Kagome's sister had saved this village, having learned the story on how Kaname brought this village to where it was today.
They were currently in the room right next to Kaname's, and when Inuyasha sniffed the air, he could smell the woman's scent all over the village. He also smelt Sesshomaru's as well, mostly centered around two tree's. One next to Kaname's room, and another one in the courtyard, and both were years old.
Which meant Sesshomaru was hanging out in a human village for quite some time.
Makes sense now. He thought, remembering the apparent courting between the miko and his brother. Can't believe that jackass actually has the ability to like someone, let alone be able to love enough to mate. He still didn't know how to feel about that.
He had the strange feeling that his old man would have approved the match. While Kagome's old man would have frothed at the mouth and tried to kill Sesshomaru.
What I wouldn't pay to see that. He thought wistfully. He sighed, glancing down to a stirring Kagome.
Which brought another thought up.
Kagome no longer seemed to fancy him.
Which, ok, is good I guess. He mused watching as her nose scrunched up. 'Specially since Kikyo admitted to still loving me. And now I don't have to choose between them since Kagome likes someone else now... his face scrunched up at the image of Kouga. That was his only complaint, why did it have to be Kouga? A mangy wolf of all demons. At least it's not a cat demon, or who knows what I would have done. He thought blankly. And even then, he didn't like the thought of that wolf trying to take one of his pack. It was bad enough that Sesshomaru had the possibility of getting Kagome apart of his own since Kaname was related to the miko- and the eldest of the two- thus had more right to Kagome then he himself did.
And he wasn't entirely sure that Kagome would deny going to Kaname. The girl made it no secret that she adored her sister, almost fanatically sometimes.
"Inuyasha...?"
Said demon blinked and met eye's with mentioned miko. "Finally up huh?"
Kagome groaned, rubbing her head as she sat up. "My head...Where are we?"
"...Your sisters village."
Kagome paused, turning confused eye's towards him. "What."
He scoffed, "You heard me. We're in the village your sister saved a while back."
Kagome stared, not seeming to understand what he just said. "Again, 'What'..."
Inuyasha deadpanned her, before rolling his eye's and standing up. "Come on, there's a party going down in the main street where Miroku and Sango are."
She followed, still confused about what she heard. Once down at the village, Kagome was frozen in shock at the amount of people that suddenly surrounded her and started to compliment her and talk about how 'wonderful' her sister was. How they praised, loved, adored Higurashi Kaname. The tale on how the village was saved and thrived made Kagome wonder if this was the same sister who had threatened to slaughter another village for Kagome not answering her question.
That was put to rest when some of the women in the village, young and old alike, started to discuss their favorite torture technique that Kaname had taught them.
Ah, Kagome thought blankly, listening to the women talking as if it was a normal day. This is defiantly Onee-sama's work.
She was far past horror and disbelief, instead Kagome was actually impressed with what she was hearing. Instead of the 'oh god what is wrong with you' she intended say, what came out was "But then you wouldn't be able to use that ladle again?!"
If she ignored it, then the look Inuyasha sent her didn't exist.
