Chapter 3

Old Dogs New Tricks

The pack stopped early again that night. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru went hunting, the pack needed fresh meat. Miroku and Shippo went to a nearby stream to refill everyone's water containers. Sango and Kagome went about setting up camp and Rin and Jaken, who had finally rejoined the pack, several hours after being kicked off into the distance, started collecting firewood.

It didn't take long before the camp was set up and a large stack of firewood was gathered. Jaken tended to Ah-un which consisted of removing his muzzles and saddle. The two-headed dragon could pretty much take care of himself. After all who wanted to mess with a two-headed youkai thunder dragon. Kirara just curled up in her kitten form and fell asleep.

After much playing, a few splashes, and a bit of scolding Miroku and Shippo returned with the water. Kagome started to make a simple stew that she could add the meat to later, they would eat that for breakfast. They would cook some of what was caught for dinner tonight. It didn't take long before both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru returned with several rabbits each already skinned ready to go over the fire.

"Thanks, guys. Ok let me get this all cooking and we need to talk some things out, " Kagome said as she reached out to take the rabbits from both of them.

"I will take care of that Kagome, " Sango said. She stood and took the rabbits from the males so quickly that Kagome was left standing there her arm still out for a moment. "You guys have a lot to talk about and I know it's going to eat you till you get answers. So, go get them." Sango nodded at the two males.

"Ok if you are sure. We really do have a lot to talk about." So instead of taking the rabbits which Sango was already seasoning and getting ready to cook Kagome took the hands of her mates to be and lead them into the forest and away from camp.

It didn't take long before Inuyasha's nerves got the better of him and he pulled away. "Kags we are far enough away now." He sat on the forest floor and pulled her into his lap. "So what do you want to talk about? I know you have half a million questions flying around in that brain of yours. So tell us what you're worried about." He nuzzled his nose into the hair at the base of her neck.

Sesshomaru sat down next to his half brother and grabbed Kagome's legs, feeling the need to be close to her as she asked her questions. He put them in his lap and began tracing circles on her ankles and calves. He loved that such a simple touch brought on the scent of her arousal.

"Ok first I need to know why, why me, why now?" She whispered she wasn't sure she really wanted to hear their reasons. What if they didn't love her? What if neither wanted her for more than a womb and a bed warmer? She didn't really think that was the case but she still feared it.

She had spent years pining for Inuyasha, he was her first love and he would always have a place in her heart. She was fairly sure his feelings for her were real even if she couldn't try to guess the depth of them. But what about the stoic inuyoukai lord? He had never shown interest before.

"Well, I need both of you to answer those questions I can't continue unless you do," Kagome said she stared down at her hands that were clenched in her lap. Her heart was racing she felt as if her whole future rested in how they answered her, and truthfully, it did.

"Oi, Wench you should know by now that I love you. For a while, I was confused if it was all because of Kikyo but now I know it's just you. I was going to wait till this whole thing with her was dealt with but a certain impatient bastard made it so I couldn't wait anymore." Inuyasha kissed the top of her head and hugged her to him.

"Hm, " Sesshomaru added. He didn't think he was ready to tell her everything he felt for her. He had never been one to openly express his feelings and doing so even to the woman he wanted as his mate would take time to get used to.

The noncommittal sound made Kagome's head snapped up. "Oh no, Lord Fluffy you are going to explain yourself. That's an order from your alpha." Kagome smirked at the daiyoukai whose only response was the raising of one slender eyebrow. Ok so maybe that was pushing it a little but Kagome was going to stand her ground.

"Ok, guys I need to know that this is about more than making the pack strong or just sexual attraction. This is what you get picking me I am human that means I need to love you and I need you to love me." Kagome shrugged. There I said it. Kagome waited with bated breath.

Sesshomaru grabbed her around her middle and put her firmly in his lap turning her around so her legs were over Inuyasha's lap instead of his own.

Mate is sad, comfort bitch. Sesshomaru's beast always did like to come out and play with the little Miko. But he agreed he needed to comfort the small human woman.

"You are mine that's all you need to know, " he said gruffly.

"That's not gonna be enough oh great lord." Kagome reached up and rubbed his ear. If it worked on Inuyasha maybe it would work on him also.

Sesshomaru's eyes swirled golden and red. It was like looking into a sunrise. The colors swirled and blended. It made Kagome's breath hitch. He growled.

"You still need to say the words I am afraid. Remember I am just a weak human I need to hear the words growling won't cut it."

Sesshomaru sighed, "Ok little bitch, do you remember the first real interaction we had? In my father's tomb when you so stupidly defied me?"

"Aw, yeah kinda hard to forget nearly being melted into a puddle of goo by a 50 feet dog, " Kagome looked into his eyes waiting for more.

"I wasn't trying to kill you little bitch. I needed to see if my poison would harm you. At the time I was barely in control. All my beast wanted was to steal you away from the whelp. I had hoped you weren't a good fit, that if he saw you fearing us he would give up the idea. But you didn't have a scratch on you. And you just stood back up and screamed at me." Sesshomaru chuckled. "You are far from weak little bitch. So very very far from weak."

Kagome sighed she really didn't think she would get much more out of him so she decided to move on to other questions.

"Ok so how are we going to deal with getting pregnant? Are you guys going to take turns or will it fate decides kind of issue?" Kagome was surprised to find that neither idea really bothered her she had always wanted to have a few kids.

"I am good with whatever you want Kags. It doesn't matter to me either way. Actually to tell the complete truth the idea of pups scares the crap out of me, " Inuyasha admitted. The idea that he could leave his mate and pups so vulnerable if the same were to happen to him as happened to his father, terrified him. The idea of leaving Kagome by herself with a part-demon child to care for, to protect with no help tore at him.

"Hn, I, on the other hand, will need an heir. Or I will have to name Inuyasha heir. And then we will both need one. Though if I do that I suppose we could truly let fate decide on the pups. I suppose that will need more thought, " Sesshomaru said. The image that brought to mind her heavy with his child made his cock swell and he tried to discreetly adjust himself. The potent aroma of his brother's arousal told him that the hanyou enjoyed the visual as well. Despite his reticence about being a father.

"Ok, will we always do everything all three of us? Or do I get alone time with each of you?" Kagome asked this may have been the biggest question. She knew she loved Inuyasha and knew she could come to love Sesshomaru if he could just keep opening up little by little to her. But she also knew she would have to have a private relationship with each separately from their group relationship.

"Of course you will I won't let Ice Prince monopolize all your time, " Inuyasha ran his fingers up and down her legs the action caused her to shiver, but she wouldn't be distracted.

"Hn, I would never refuse your request Little Bitch. In fact, I can't wait for some private time." Sesshomaru smirked when Kagome blushed.

Sesshomaru's hand threaded through the hair at the nape of Kagome's neck. He gently used his grip to tilt her head up. Their lips met. He licked along her bottom lip then bit gently at it.

"Hn I am afraid you will have to get used to a bit of biting. I am not sure how Inuyasha has stopped himself from marking you in any way he can. But I don't think I will be able to. But don't worry little bitch there will be nothing permanent until you say so," Sesshomaru muttered against her lips. Kagome noticed he started speaking much less formally the more turned on he was, he hadn't done a good job of hiding the very hot erection she was currently sitting on.

"You have no idea how hard it's been Brother," Inuyasha chuckled and grabbed her hips pulling her until she was forced onto her hands and knees still face to face with Sesshomaru. Inuyasha kneeled behind her between her legs. One hand went up to her breasts while the other moved to the ties of her hakama. Slowly he loosened them until he could get them over the curve of her ass and they pooled at her knees on the ground. As Inuyasha stripped Kagome, Sesshomaru had started a new assault on her mouth. His tongue pushed past her lips and teeth tasting her, swirling and dancing across her own tongue till she was breathless and squirming back into Inuyasha's hands.

"I think it's time to start getting her used to certain things that come with having two mates don't you think brother?" Inuyasha chuckled and ran one clawed finger down the cleft of Kagome's ass.

"Wh.. what are you doing Inuyasha?" Kagome stuttered.

"Shhh, little bitch let us take care of you," Sesshomaru said against her lips. He once more deepened the kiss. One hand went to her hair and tilted her head so he had access to her entire mouth. The intensity of the kiss made her moan and push back into Inuyasha.

Inuyasha bit the claws off his fingers and settled down behind her. With his thumbs, he opened her to his view. He gazed on her most intimate of places her lips were wet and glistening with the evidence of her arousal. With a growl, Inuyasha assaulted her diving in licking sucking biting. He never gave her a chance to get used to the sensation. She bucked back into his mouth and Sesshomaru drank down her moans and gasps.

Kagome was quickly getting overwhelmed between the wicked things Inuyasha was doing behind her and the daiyoukai dominating her mouth all she could do if writhe between them and take what they gave her. Inuyasha licked from her clit to her ass. When he reached the tight pucker he paid special attention to it ever so gently licking and caressing the rear entrance. He moved his hand to her weeping pussy and softly rubbed his fingers against her clit, he felt her muscles start to clench.

Sesshomaru felt her tense as his brother played with formerly forbidden places. So he decided to try to distract her, after all, she would need to get used to having that particular entrance played with as well. He bit her bottom lip just hard enough to draw some blood. The momentary pain made her switch her focus from the demon at her backside to the one plundering her mouth. She moaned into the kiss and tasted her own blood on his lips. Sesshomaru's clawed hand when to her hair and he ravaged her mouth. He wanted to taste everything she had to offer but currently, Inuyasha was doing just that so Sesshomaru would have to content himself with learning the sweet taste of her sassy mouth. His tongue swept her mouth caressing her tongue and taking small soft licks to the inside of her cheeks and her palate.

Inuyasha knew that Sesshomaru distracting Kagome was a good thing even a needed thing but he didn't like her attention being drawn from what he was doing he felt he had earned her attention and so he told himself he would get it back.

With that thought in mind, he switched from lapping at her ass to gently sucking on her clit. He gave her clit sweet soft gentle licks and sucks until her knees gave out and he had to adjust his hold on her to keep her on her hands and knees.

One arm was wrapped around her waist keeping her most intimate of places on display for Inuyasha with the other hand he reached around and found her sensitive bundle of nerves he gave it a little pinch which caused Kagome to gasp and buck into the attention.

InuYasha decided that he was done playing with his little mate to be and thrust his tongue as deep into her channel as he could, he pushed in as far as his tongue would go. He was just barely able to feel the barrier that she still possessed despite all the strenuous activities she had to endure over the years.

"Inu...I am gunna..gunna," Kagome said. She panted into Sesshomaru's mouth.

"Shhhh, little bitch let up give it to him. Cum for us Kagome." Sesshomaru whispered in her ear as he watched his brother pleasure their mate to be.

Sesshomaru's demand caused the tension she was feeling that sweet sensation that had been growing in her lower stomach to twist and snap and she was thrown over the edge and into her first climax given by someone else. As she came down from her orgasm the brothers gathered her in their arms and held her close.

"See now Little Bitch we can "work together" just fine, " Sesshomaru nuzzled her neck.

"Come on we should get back to the pack. Can't be gone too long, " Inuyasha broke the afterglow.

"I am hungry and the kids need a bath tonight, " Kagome got up and stretched her arms over her head. The males got up as well. Kagome reached down and pulled up her hakama.

"Pups, " Inuyasha grunted.

Kagome turned to him "huh?"

"Pups, Kagome they are pups," he explained.

"But Rin isn't a demon and Shippo is a kitsune, " Kagome said.

"Yeah but this is an inu pack so they are pups. Get used to it Kags you'll be hearing it a whole load more," Inuyasha pulled her to him and ground the proof of his arousal into her stomach. He took the ties of her hakama from her and quickly knotted them closed.

"Come on you two the pack waits, " Sesshomaru said as he grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her out of Inuyasha's arms. Which caused the half-demon to snarl. That caused Sesshomaru to smirk, "Playtime is over little brother. Come dinner should be ready and the pups will want your attention." Sesshomaru led the two back to camp he was sorry they had to cut playtime short as well but he felt slow was better then too quickly he wanted to build Kagome's trust in them he needed her trust and love just like she needed theirs.

When they returned Kagome saw that Shippo had pulled out his treasured crayons and coloring pages to share with Rin, the site had Kagome's heart caught in her chest. She could have a big family and they would blend the members they had. Rin was her daughter or would be soon. Would Sesshomaru claim Shippo, she knew the little kitsune desperately needed a good male role model. Oh, now she had a whole new set of worries revolving around the males and their fathering abilities. Inuyasha had never taken to Shippo the way she wanted him to. Would he shun all the kids no… pups that weren't his? She figured it would be fairly easy to tell who had fathered each child after all the pups Inu would give her would only be a quarter demon. The pups Sesshomaru gave her would be half surely you would be able to tell the difference? Sango waved and called her name and for the time being, that snapped her out of her internal musings.

The demon brothers took up their respective positions, Inu up on a branch on one side of the camp and Sesshomaru leaning against the trunk near the coloring pups. The more she watched the two the more she realized that Sesshomaru was actually very very paternal he watched the kids playing and coloring nodded or patted ahead every time Rin would show him a new picture, Shippo didn't seem comfortable showing his drawings off.

Sango and Kagome got out bowls and utensils and served dinner to the group. They received thanks from most Inuyasha, however simply grunted and took his bowl of roasted meat. When Kagome went to bring Sessh his he politely declined to say he didn't often eat cooked food and that he had eaten his fill when they had hunted. Once dinner was eaten and cleaned up and a stew started for breakfast in the morning.

Kagome gathered the children and set off to the hot spring she knew was close. She was determined to get Rin's mass of messy hair under control and Shippo's tail really needed some work it looked like the two kids had rolled in a bramble bush. Who knows, they might have done just that.

She got the giggling children stripped and in the water, she let them play for a while as she got out her bathing supplies and a wide-toothed comb. Sango had given it to her, it was made from some kind of bone and was supposed to help keep any hair that was combed by it from getting tangled.

She settled herself in the hot water and called Rin over to her. She decided before trying to wash the girl's hair, it needed to be as tangle-free as she could get it. Kagome focused on removing all the brambles and knots from Rin's hair, she was so focused on the task at hand that she didn't realize that Sesshomaru had decided to join the group.

"Sesshomaru-sama, you came to bathe with the pack yah!" Rin squealed excitedly. At Rin's exclamation, Kagome looked up and saw that the Lord of the West was indeed going to join the small group. Rin bounced out of Kagome's hold and over to Sesshomaru and gave him a hug.

"Rin I believe Kagome was trying to fix your hair it's rude to leave like that, " Sesshomaru gently scolded Rin. "Go on now let her finish."

"Thank you Sesshomaru. I was starting to feel a little outnumbered here, " Kagome laughed as the kids once again started a splash fight with each other. Kagome sighed and asked Rin to come back over, she wasn't done with her hair. To her surprise, Rin immediately can back and sat down in front of Kagome to get her hair tended. Once the girl was sitting and behaving it doesn't take long for Kagome to finish detangling her hair. She asked Rin to dunk underwater and when she came back up Kagome started to work her own strawberry shampoo through the girl's hair. She muttered to herself about having to find a suitable substitute soon especially with the extra people sharing her meager supplies.

While Kagome tended to Rin, Sesshomaru picked up Shippo and started to work the brambles, stickers, and leaves out of Shippo's fluffy tail with his claws.

Kagome snorted, Who needed a comb when you had claws.

But it warmed her heart to see Sesshomaru the normally stoic Daiyoukai tending to her son. Her previous worries about Sesshomaru not accepting him as his own started to seem silly, after all, he had adopted a small human girl. Why would a little fox kit be any different?

With one adult helping each of the little ones it didn't take long before both were cleaned and combed and ready for bed. Kagome decided to make her own bath quick she still had to get the kids to bed and she had the feeling they wouldn't go easily they were all wound up. Kagome finished washing and conditioning her hair as the children got dressed once she was done Sesshomaru came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her pulling her close her back to his chest.

"Little Bitch, I need to leave for a few days, there are some things that demand my attention. I will be taking Inuyasha with me." Sesshomaru nuzzled into her neck and breathed her scent in deeply. He could tell her heat was coming on and he knew she wasn't ready to mate yet. So he would remove both himself and Inuyasha from the temptation.

Besides, there really were things that needed both his and Inuyasha's attention. He needed to see to her mating gift and he would need Inuyasha for that as well since they planned a dual mating both his own and his brother's fangs would be needed.

"Mmm, well don't be gone too long. When do you plan to go?"

"First light we leave. I would like you to continue on the Edo we shall meet the rest of the pack there once we are finished with our tasks."

"Ok, no problem I will get our pack there safely. Don't you worry," Kagome turned in his arms and put her hand to his cheek gently caressing his stripes. "Let's get back and tell the others ok?"

"Hn," He lifted her up and carried her out of the spring. He set her down by her bag so she could dry off and get dressed.

After dressing and putting away her bathing items Kagome and Sesshomaru followed the running giggling children back to camp.
