A/N: Here's another one shot I had laying around that I never finished. My last one got deleted for a lemon so here's hoping this one doesn't. It's a lemon. Enjoy!
Rocking Hanna back and forth in her arms Kagome felt her patience stretched thin. Her daughter wouldn't stop crying despite having every need met. Usually she would fall back to sleep but not tonight.
Already stressed out from school work and exams it didn't help not sleeping enough through the night. Kagome sat in her rocking chair and shushed her daughter again holding the screaming infant to her.
"What is it Hanna? I don't know what you need from me." Feeling the pinprick of tears in her eyes she began to sob. "I'm a bad mother."
She knew that Sesshomaru was in his office working. He had given up practicing in person but still continued to consult and work on call from home. At night he would peruse patients charts or assist his co-workers over the phone.
There was no reason to bother him. He was busy with his job. He took care of Hanna all day while she was at school so it was only fair she took over at night.
"I don't know what you want." She whimpered holding her daughter closer to her as Hanna cried even louder.
"Calm down my little ones." Sesshomaru soothed walking into the nursery. Sniffling Kagome swallowed her sobs and tried to clear her throat.
"I think I broke her." She strained out.
"No, you did not break our pup Kagome." He replied amused. Kneeling down in front of her he placed his hand against their daughters head. "She senses your distress which causes her distress."
"Oh, so, on top of everything else I'm stressing our baby out!" She whined causing Hannas careening wail to take on a higher pitch.
"Go lie down in my room." Sesshomaru said taking Hanna from her.
"No! I am her mother! I can take care of her!" She shouted. Taking in Sesshomarus suddenly stoic expression she slumped in her chair. "I'm sorry. I'm just so tired and stressed and I can't take care of her and you and I'm so out of my element here."
"Kagome. Go lie down." He commanded in a no nonsense tone . Watching him turn his back to her with Hanna Kagome launched herself from her chair and ran out of her room down the hall.
Stopping at the top of the stairs she made her way down stooping in the darkened kitchen. Sliding down against one of the cabinets she buried her face into her drawn up knees.
She knew she was being a brat to Sesshomaru, he was nothing short of always wonderful to her and she was the one with the short fuse. Finding she would try to bait him into a fight only to immediately back down once he all but used 'that' tone with her.
It reminded her of the night in his fathers tomb when Sesshomaru had approached her quickly after he effectively had subdued Inuyasha. Holding the sheath of Tessaiga out as a shield to protect herself from him he had made her blood run cold.
He was terrifying and after attempting to kill her he had haunted her dreams for many nights. She had feared him to no end and would dread when they came across him.
Often she wondered what would have happened the night of the blood moon if she hadn't given herself so willingly to him.
Would he have killed her? At the start of the night she knew that she had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time, she had become a means to an end.
By the end of it however she had left an impression on him and he on her, not to mention a pregnancy. If Hanna hadn't been conceived then would they even be together? She doubted it but then again maybe eventually they would have been.
"It's pointless to think about the maybes. This is where we are." She whispered to the dark. "It's not a bad place."
Feeling a hand run through her hair she sighed deeply. "I'm sorry Sesshomaru. I didn't mean to yell at you."
"Tell me what is that you want." He said sitting next to her in his usual fashion, one leg extended with the other brought up to rest his hand against.
"What I want?" Kagome questioned moving her face away from her legs to look at him.
"Yes." He replied.
"I want to finish school. I want to be a good mother to Hanna and a good wife to you…"
"Let me rephrase this; what is it you desire?" Turning his attention to her she could see his golden eyes glowing in the dark. "Anything, name it, and it is yours."
"I-I don't know." Kagome stated. "We have so much already. I could…go get my hair done. That would be nice."
"What else?"
"Some of my clothes don't fit me so well anymore, a few new outfits?"
"And?"
Tapping her finger to her lips Kagome thought on it. "I have always wanted to get a manicure and a pedicure at a day spa."
"Anything else?"
"I want us to go out on a date, no, a vacation I want us to take a vacation. Just the two of us. We can go somewhere tropical where I can lay on a beach half naked, drink and just have sex with you all day."
"I second that notion." He replied with a smirk playing across his features. "In the morning I will make the arrangements."
"Once we set our dates I'll see who wants to watch Hanna and let my school know." Kagome wiped the dry tears from her face.
"For now, lets rest." Standing he offered his hand to her. "Come my little one."
Awaking with a start Kagome sat up straight staring at the sunlight that filtered in through the windows of her room. Sitting beside her bed was a small vase filled with violets and asters. Running her fingertips across the petals gently she smiled to herself.
"Sesshomaru must have picked these from the garden." Standing she went into the nursery to find it empty. "He must have Hanna."
Washing up and changing out of her pajamas she made her way down stairs still tying her hair up in a loose braid that she draped across her front.
"Something smells amazing." With her nose leading her into the kitchen Kagome stood in the arched doorway watching her husband tend to the stove. "Good morning."
Coming up behind him she wrapped her arms around his middle.
"Morning, hm?" He mused. "It's already afternoon."
"You let me sleep in? I had to go to school and…" Turning in her arms to face her Sesshomaru silenced her with a finger to her lips.
"Go sit."
"Let me at least help you." Leading her out of the kitchen and taking her into the dining room he coaxed her into a chair before exiting. Sighing Kagome watched as he brought in the small dishes of food along with serving bowls.
"Every morning you wake up early to get Hanna and yourself ready. You make breakfast and your lunch for the day." Sesshomaru said as he sat. "Allow me to spoil you for a change."
Grabbing a pair of chopsticks she gripped a piece of fish. "Speaking of, where is Hanna?"
"Rin took her for the day." He explained. "We have plans."
"We do?" Kagome asked with her food midway to her mouth stopping in the process.
"Yes. Once you are finished eating we will head out."
"Where are we going?"
"Anywhere you like."
Running a hand through her lighter layered hair she looked down at her freshly polished nails as Sesshomaru parked his car next to a parking meter.
"I've walked by here before but never went into any of the stores." She admitted. "They're expensive."
"And we are wealthy." Sesshomaru commented exiting the vehicle. Kagome followed suit accepting his arm as he offered it. Glancing along the sidewalk she saw the small shop she had always wanted to go into but never did.
"Can we go in there?" Pointing it out she heard Sesshomaru sigh.
"Stop asking. I have told you multiple times that you decide where to go, this is your day." He replied.
"I know…sorry." Receiving another sigh the couple walked into the high end boutique.
"Afternoon welcome to Mina Perhonens Tokyo Shop. May I help you find something?" The clerk asked cheerfully.
"I um, am not sure." Kagome stuttered out.
"Yes she would. She needs new measurements as she is not sure what size she is." Sesshomaru interjected.
"Absolutely, happy to help. This way please." Kagome followed the other woman and nearly died as she was put on a literal pedestal by the dressing room.
A tape measure was brought out as her bust, hips, and waist were measured. "What's your style?"
"I like skirts, mini skirts. Dresses. Sometimes jeans."
"And for tops?"
"Whatever matches the bottoms."
"I'll go grab a few selections and you can try them on."
"Oh, okay." Kagome climbed down from the raised area and was visibly blushing. "I didn't know they picked out the outfits for you." She whispered.
"If you had been able to stay in Tsushima you would have had servants and handmaidens that would have attended to your every need." Sesshomaru ran a hand through her hair and smiled down at her. Kagomes blush deepened. "Although my lands may have been lost to time you are still my lady and as such you will be very well taken care of."
"Thank you mate."
"You are welcome wife."
The clerk helped her zip up a red and black strapped dress. It came to her mid thigh, accentuated her hips but sucked in the softer part of her stomach. It had a built in bra that popped her breasts up but not too much to be revealing.
The dress itself was black with the red straps crisscrossing the front to straps in the back as the fabric rested at the small of her back exposing her skin.
"Wow." Kagome gaped at herself in the full length mirror.
"I knew this would look amazing on you. You've got a great figure."
"Thanks. I like to stay active."
"I can tell." Finishing up with the final strap the clerk smoothed down the bottom part of it as Kagome admired herself. "Do you want to show your companion?"
"Oh yeah. He's my husband."
"You don't look that old, how long have you been married?"
"I'm not and we sort of just claimed each other. We haven't officially gotten married." Kagome replied.
"Well you're all set to go and show your husband." The clerk said stepping out. "She looks amazing."
Kagome took a breath feeling suddenly self conscious before just turning and walked out of the dressing room. She fidgeted and pulled at the hem her eyes to the floor as she bit at her lip. Sesshomaru was silent. Raising her eyes up slightly she smirked.
He looked stunned. He was just staring at her as if he were frozen to the spot. "Is it…bad?" She asked nervously.
"No." He shook his head slowly from side to side a couple of times as his tongue licked at his lips slightly. "Would you like assistance with removing it?"
"I need all the help I can get getting out of this thing." She said. "So, should I keep it?"
"Yes." Sesshomaru stated before she finished her sentence. Nearly pulling her into the dressing room he shut the door. Kagome felt an odd sensation as he released a small amount of his energy to seal the door.
"What are you doing?" Kagome questioned staring at him in confusion.
"Ensuring there are no interruptions." He remarked walking closer to her and seizing her lips in a passionate kiss.
"Mmmm." Kagome hummed against his lips as his hands wandered down her sides enjoying the feeling of the fabric against her soft skin.
Breaking the kiss his tongue trailed down her jaw and throat before his fangs teased her mating mark. Putting her head back Kagome let out a soft sigh at the feeling of his mouth on the tender scar.
Wrapping her arms around his neck she kissed at his forehead as he dropped his glamour that made him appear more human.
She nipped at his ear forcing his own soft sigh out. "My little one. Will you let me have you?"
"Here?"
"Yes."
"Okay." No sooner had the words escaped her mouth Sesshomaru had spun her around so she was facing the mirror. Placing her palms flat against it she watched as he admired her with roaming eyes.
She knew that he enjoyed staring at her when she was bent over or on her hands and knees but she had never seen the expression on his face.
His eyes sparked bleeding to red with teal pupils, the real color of his eyes, as his markings became jagged and much more defined. Licking his lips she saw fangs protruding from his lips.
Kagome bit her own lip and began to pant in anticipation. He appeared animalistic and it reminded her of their first night together. It forced her body to tremble as she swallowed hard. It was a little frightening to see him in such a way.
Gripping her hips with clawed fingers he ran his hands to her front finding purchase against her wet heat. Leaning over her he growled.
"No panties?"
"The girl said it would ruin the look of the dress, that it's better just to go without." A deeper growl rumbled from him as he spread her lips with one hand and began to tease her with his other.
Gasping out she bit her tongue as to not make any noise. Moving herself back to grind against his she groaned as waves of pleasure went through her hips down to her toes.
"You would go out like this." Sesshomaru stated. "So exposed. Where any man may take from you as he wants."
"No. Just you. Only ever you." Kagome managed out. Removing his hands from her he shoved the dress up over her hips and ripped the straps in the back pulling the top part down to rest under her breasts.
Kagome watched as he quickly undid his leather belt allowing his pants to fall to his ankles along with his boxers. Yanking off the silky short sleeve shirt he wore she licked her own lips. "You are so hot."
"You are too." He replied lowering her slightly to plunge himself into her wet entrance. Kagome braced herself as he began to pound into her body with his own.
"Oh my god." She whispered out watching as he took her from behind. Sliding himself out after a few thrusts he slid it along her folds effectively hitting her clit. "Yes."
Rocking against him she brought a hand down to her crotch and gripped his length running her hand along it and rubbing it against herself at the same time.
"Ah, Kagome." Sesshomaru ground out.
"More, more. Give me more Sesshomaru." Her words came out louder than what she wanted them too as she felt her orgasm come on. Having a hand clamped over her mouth as she released only to have her mate pull back from her grasp and enter her hard and fast.
With one arm over her mouth and the other snaked across her chest just above her breasts she whimpered and shook as Sesshomaru thrust into her body filling her to capacity and pummeled her cervix.
Moaning into his hand she felt her hand become slick against the glass as sweat formed on her skin. Pulling her closer to him she felt his sharp fangs knick at her ear as he breathed hot breath across her over heated flesh.
"Mine." He growled out possessively.
"Yes, yes. Just yours. Always." At those words she felt him buck into her hard before stilling. Burying his face into her shoulder her he stifled his own howl at the release growling and baring his fangs instead.
"Kagome, my Kagome." Turning her head she caught his lips in a kiss as he moved in her some more.
"Everything alright in there?" The soft knock on the door caused her to break the kiss.
"Yup, just great thanks." She replied back trying to maintain her voice in a normal tone.
"Alright, just let me know if you need anything."
"Thanks." Untangling themselves from one another Kagome squirmed out of the remnants of the dress. "You really have to stop tearing my clothes."
"Technically speaking, that dress wasn't yours."
"Oh my god you're right." Kagomes mouth dropped in near horror as she stared at the remains of fabric.
"Relax mate." He chuckled as he put his own clothes back on. Kagome gathered hers and decided which outfits to put back and which ones she would take.
Bringing them all to the counter she cleared her throat.
"I um, accidentally ripped the dress." Kagome offered it back to the clerk with wide eyes worried the other woman would know what they had been up too.
"Oh! Well, this is a very pricey outfit. You're going to have to pay for it." The clerk seemed irritated and Kagome opened her mouth to apologize when she felt Sesshomaru behind her.
"Of course and we will take an undamaged one as well. Along with whatever else my wife has picked out." He responded.
"Sure. I will get you a new one." Taking the damaged dress from her the clerk sped off from around the counter. Kagome shuffled her feet slightly.
"I feel bad."
"No need." Lowering his head slightly he began to whisper. "This one will attempt not to damage it again, although I make no promises."
Letting out a laugh Kagome only shook her head. "Well, as long as you keep buying them you can do whatever you want to them."
"How is it that so soon after we mate you entice me so again?"
"Because you're mine." Kagome replied turning to face him. "Only mine."
"Oh yes. Only yours little one."
A/N: Violets can symbolize everlasting love, faith, innocence, and/or modesty. The asters can symbolize love, faith, and wisdom.
I've had those nights where the babies wouldn't stop crying and I was a mess. My husband would step in and I felt like a failure for 'making him' take care of the baby.
We put so much on ourselves as women that when our partners step in sometimes we are hesitant for the help. Hope you all enjoyed this story. Until next time.
