Tides Against Time: The Morning After
"Moring Tsukiyomi." Kaede said as they happened to meet at the base of the stairs at the same time.
"Good morning Kaede. Are you off to escort the La Flèche's to breakfast?" the healer asked.
"Aye, thee take it with that breakfast tray Ms. Rin will not be joining?" asked Kaede as she looked over the tray laden with toast, eggs and freshly cut fruit.
"No, I told her last night I would come and check to make sure she wasn't still dizzy." Tsukiyomi said as they began to walk up the stairs.
"Dizzy? Thee wonder why that be?" asked Kaede.
"Most likely a symptom from hitting the floor too quickly. I checked her over and she looked to be recovering nicely." Tsukiyomi said making the old woman relax slightly.
"That is good to hear. Thee would hate for a repeat of her last life's suffering." Kaede said making the healer frown.
"We don't know if it's her just yet. Don't jump into conclusions until we learn more about her." Tsukiyomi warned just as she reached for Rin's door.
Knocking lightly she didn't hear a reply and assumed Rin to still be sleeping. As she entered the room however, an erotic sight greeted her eyes. There tangled up in the sheets was a very naked dog lord and his demon lover still intimately entwined. Dropping the breakfast tray she scream in surprise. Hearing her scream and the clatter of broken dishes snapped the naked lovers from their deep sleep. Pulling the sheet over top of them Sesshomaru's eyes burned red and he growled and bared his fangs towards the intruder.
"What tis the matter Tsukiyomi?" cried Kaede as she Louie and Lizy ran from across the hallway and entered the room.
"S-Sesshomaru?" Lizy gawked in shock. "What are you doing in here!?"
"Like thee said, thy old bones don't lie. Do they Kagome?" Kaede said with a knowing smile as she looked over the lump of covers.
Slowly peaking out from under the sheet a very red-faced water elemental looked at the gawking group. "Surprise?" Kagome said hesitantly.
"You… you remember?" Lizy gapped in disbelief.
"Everything." Kagome answered with a happy glow.
"This is wonderful!" Tsukiyomi shouted making everyone laugh and cheer. Sesshomaru just smiled, relaxed into the pillows and pulled Kagome into his side.
"As much as I would like to broadcast to the world that my mate has returned to me what you have seen today cannot be shared outside of this room. I must speak with the Court and make a strategic plan for her protection. News of Kagome's return could be very dangerous and I will not have her taken away from me again." Sesshomaru commanded as he made sure to keep her naked form hidden from Louie's sight.
"Agreed. Now we mustn't delay to breakfast or else we shall draw unwanted attention towards these chambers." Kaede said taking her leave out the door. "It's good to have ye back my Lady."
"It's good to be back." Kagome replied as she watched the old woman lead her friends out the door.
"I'll be down shortly." Louie said to his mate as he closed the door before turning to look at the lovers behind him.
"Care to explain what the hell happened?" Louie smirked as he gesture to the bed with a teasing glare.
"I couldn't sleep last night so I went for a walk along the beach." Kagome began as she snuggled into Sesshomaru's side. "I was on my way back when I heard someone coming up behind me."
"That was very foolish of you to be out on the beach by yourself." Louie scolded making his little sister look down at her lap in shame.
"I know. I'm sorry. I didn't even think about it until I heard Sesshomaru coming up behind me." Kagome apologized.
"If you wanted to go to the beach so badly you should have come and got me. Please don't do that again." Louie said as he sat down in the chair by the bed.
"I promise." Kagome said as she smiled up at her lover. "Thankfully it was you who found me."
"Indeed." Sesshomaru agreed as he ran his hand up her exposed arm. "I had just finished talking with you in the lounge and decided to go out to the outer wall to relax. I was about to return to my office when I heard a song on the wind. It must have been my imagination because I swear I heard it played on my old flute."
"That's because you did hear it on your old flute." Kagome said as she wrapped the sheet around herself and crawled towards the end of the bed to pick up his lost flute.
"How... did you come by this?" Sesshomaru asked in disbelief as he gingerly took the battered flute from her hands. "I clearly remember throwing it into the lagoon."
"It was clutched tightly in her hand when Lizy and I found her. No matter how hard we tried to pry it out of her grasp she held onto it for dear life." Louie explained. "Only when she woke up did she relinquish her hold of it."
"Incredible." Sesshomaru whispered as he ran a clawed finger down the flute. When he turned it over he saw the carved (S.T.) along the the neck.
"It had to of been the gods. Me washing up holding your flute, becoming a demon, your friends finding me and us becoming reunited by your flute." Kagome agreed as she nuzzled into his neck.
"Indeed." Sesshoma smirked and set the flute down on the side table.
"So what happened next?" asked Louie curiously.
"I know this sounds cheesy but it was like time stopped when I looked into his eyes." Kagome tried to explain. "All of the images and dreams began to come together and I knew in that moment that he was where I belonged."
"When we…." Kagome tried to explain as a dark blush colored her cheeks. It made the knowing males smirk at her embarrassment. "When we kissed I remembered everything from my past life. I no longer was Rin, but became Kagome again."
"And I'm assuming one thing led to another then boom! You're together in bed?" Louie teased making Kagome's blush even darker.
"You could say that." Sesshomaru agreed with a lighthearted chuckle before kissing the top of her head. "I should have known from our conversation last night that you were hiding something from me. You knew didn't you?"
"I had my suspicions. However so does half of your castle staff." Louie warned making Sesshomaru scowl.
"Explain." Sesshomaru demanded as he sat up in the bed.
"Upon arrival yesterday we passed by many of your workers and quite a few of them had reactions just like Tsukiyomi did a moment ago. It would not surprise me if there were rumors or speculations already spreading across the city." Louie explained making Sesshomaru curse under his breath.
"I must meet with the Court immediately to devise a plan. Should word of Kagome's return reach Italy before Spain takes action I will be very displeased." Sesshomaru growled.
"I will leave you to get to it then. Should you need France or England's assistance do not hesitate to ask." Louie said as he made his way towards the door. "If it's any consolation, I'm very happy for you both."
"Thanks Louie." Kagome smiled as she rest her head upon Sesshomaru's chest as he pulled her close to his side. "You've been a huge help already."
"Can you meet me in my office in two hours time?" asked Sesshomaru.
"Of course. Until then." Louie said before taking his leave out the door.
"(Sigh…) Well… at least that's over. Now just to tell your wife." Kagome teased making Sesshomaru groan and run his hand down his face in frustration.
"I had rather hoped to keep you to myself for a little while longer." Sesshomaru complained as he rolled on top of her and began to kiss along her neck. "How are you feeling this morning?"
"A little soar but nothing to be worried about." Kagome said as she threaded her fingers into his hair and craned her head back to give him better access. "Why? Do you have something in mind?"
"Uh-huh." Sesshomaru said as he wedged his knee between her legs to open her up to him. "And I think you'll like it."
"Oh really?" Kagome teased as she slowly drug her legs up his thighs before pulling him down with her feet crossed along his backside. "What are you waiting for?"
"Nothing, now let me kiss you." Sesshomaru commanded before claiming her lips with his.
[Warning: Lemon begins. End of Lemon marked.]
(*** Summer End / Chill & Jazzhop ***)
As their lips threaded together Sesshomaru slowly began to rock against her. Gasping at the sensation Sesshomaru took advantage and plundered her mouth with his tongue. Tasting and feeling her loving caresses against his own had him moaning in contentment. Rubbing his thumb over a nipple soon had her panting against his lips and clawing along his back. Having coated his cock against her weeping flower he carefully align himself at her entrance. Gingerly slipping inside they couldn't suppress their gasps at the feeling.
"Yes…" Kagome mewled as she threw her head back against the pillows and encouraged him deeper inside. "You feel so good inside of me."
"Gods..." Sesshomaru groaned as he savored in the feeling of her tight channel pulling him deeper. Listening to her dirty words was icing on the cake. Having fully seated himself inside, he basked in the feeling before slowly pulling out. Just as his tip was about to exit he rolled it along her opening then thrust back into her. It made them moan from the rush.
"See what you do to me woman?" Sesshomaru growled huskily as he made sure to do the same teasing motion again and again. "You make me harder than stone, longer than life and wider than the sea."
All Kagome could do was moan from his slow torture. To show her appreciation of his passion she rolled against him as he thrust, insuring to get the most out of every one.
"Only you do this to me." Sesshomaru declared before thrusting deeply into her womb to prove his point. "Only you my little mermaid."
"Please…" Kagome begged as he continued to torture her with his cock. "I need…"
"Tell me what you need." Sesshomaru groaned as he buried himself once again into her smoldering hot pussy.
"F-faster…" Kagome begged as she unknowingly offering her breasts to his hungry gaze by arching her back up off of the bed.
"As you wish…" was all he said before claiming her offering into his mouth and pounding into her flesh.
"YES!" Kagome screamed as he made her channel flutter in ecstasy.
Without slowing his pace he devoured her flesh. From her mouth, all along her neck and collarbone, down to the swell of her breasts and nipples; even her under breasts. To say she was on fire was an understatement. Every time his scolding hot tongue, sharp k-9 fangs or seductive lips fanned across her flesh it made her body tingle and her heart flutter madly in her chest. When he suddenly pulled out she cried from the loss. It wasn't until she was flipped onto her stomach and her hips were quickly lift into the air that she register what he was doing. When he caged over her like a wild beast a shiver of anticipation ran down her spine.
"Remember that day upon the beach?" Sesshomaru asked huskily as he rest his legs between hers.
"It was the day we almost shared out first kiss" Kagome whispered as she looked over her shoulder into his molten amber eyes.
"It was also the day I found out I was going to loose you." Sesshomaru said as he nuzzled her neck and released a dog-like whine. "I was so lost that day. Tsukiyomi said your body was shutting down but I held onto hope that we would still be able to save you."
"I'm not sure if you kissing me that day would have saved me or not. I have a feeling Urasue was the reason we were unable to." Kagome said making Sesshomaru pull back to look at her.
"What do you mean me kissing you could have saved you?" asked Sesshomaru in confusion.
"You mean… you mean you don't know?" Kagome paled as she sat down in his lap.
"It was me wasn't it." Sesshomaru said coldly making Kagome flinch. "It was me you sold you soul for wasn't it?" When she didn't answer his question he cursed under his breath.
"Why?!" he demanded and shook her shoulders slightly. "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you let yourself suffer when everything that happened could have been prevented? Why didn't you let me save you?"
"Because I wanted you to fall in love with me with your heart first. I didn't want your pity. I didn't realize you already had feelings for me until that day we nearly made love upon the sand. I wanted to tell you so many times but when I found out I was going to die I didn't want you to feel honor bound in trying to save me. You deserved to be happy and to live on without me." Kagome cried as she tried to get him to look at her. "Please forgive me. It wasn't my intention to keep this from you to hurt you. I just wanted you to be happy."
"What would have made me happy was for you to of been honest with me so that I could have saved you and avoided this whole damn mess!" Sesshomaru growled before pulling her into his arms.
"I know… and I'm sorry. I'll never keep anything like that from you ever again." Kagome promised as she kissed along his jaw.
"No you wont." Sesshomaru demanded before taking her lips in an angry kiss.
It was a needy kiss fill with power and deep emotion. He needed to prove that he was in charge and the she was his. Wrapping his arms around her front he pulled her back against his chest and nestled her comfortably in his lap. He weaved one arm up to palm her breast while the other combed through her thatch of curls and covered her sex. Cupping her womanhood he slipped inside and quickly had her fucking his hand in his lap. Needing to dominate her flesh he eased her forward and once again readied her into position. With her hips now spread wide and thrust up into the air he pulled his hand from her wet cunt and ground himself against her; coating his throbbing member in her juices. When he felt they were good and ready he watched his cock slowly sink into her. Seeing her on her hands and knees looking up at him with glazed over eyes nearly had him cumming. It was with great restraint that he was able to pull back out and watch his bitch take him all back in. Gripping her hips, he continued to watch their erotic union and listened to the sounds of his flesh repeatedly meeting her flesh. Seeing her face contort in pleasure and hearing her cries of bliss nearly undid him.
"You like that don't you?" Sesshomaru growled as he pounded into her.
"AH!" was her only reply as she tightly gripped the sheets in front of her with her fists.
Crawling over her body he continued his relentless thrusting while savoring in her weeping nectar. His powerful form towered over her and his inner beast purred in delight. Their little bitch fit perfectly beneath them and took everything they offered. Reaching under her, he lifted her hips into a deeper angle then firmly took hold of one breast. The instant gratification of deeper thrusts combined with his attention to her breast had them moaning and groaning in bliss. Nuzzling into her neck he made his way to her lips. Their kisses were deep and they used their tongues and fangs to nip and pull. Looking into her eyes he once again quickened his pace. The feeling of her quivering around him and the sounds of her constant cries gave him the energy to continue his rapid pace. Using the hand fondling her breasts, he slid it along her belly to pull her back up higher along his chest.
Their heated flesh sliding against the other as his balls smacked against her ass quickly had him approaching his end. Wanting to complete together he threaded his supported hand's fingers into hers, claimed her lips in a searing kiss and slipped his hand resting over her womb to rub against her swollen nub. The combination was mind blowing. Her over worked senses forced her into completion at the same time as his. When she fluttered and clamped along his aching cock he howled into her mouth as his seed washed over her womb. Wanting it to last as long as possible he continued to pump into her until they finally were spent. Collapsing onto the bed they spooned in the morning's rays and tried to recover from their bonding.

"Remind me… to make you… angry… more often." Kagome teased making Sesshomaru chuckle into her shoulder.
"With you as my future mate… I don't think that… will be hard to accomplish." Sesshomaru teased back as he too tried to catch his breath.
"Hey…" Kagome pouted "I didn't mean... to make you mad… besides… I get hot sex out of it."
"Hot sex?" Sesshomaru laughed making Kagome giggle and turn over to face him. "Never would I have thought those words would have passed those pretty lips of yours."
"With Louie as a big brother do you expect anything different?" Kagome joked making Sesshomaru really laugh. It was a rich beautiful baritone sound and it made her feel warm and loved.
"Gods how I've missed you." Sesshomaru said as he nuzzled into her sweaty hair.
"We really need a bath." Kagome said as she drew doodles along his sweaty magenta marking along his chest.
"I would say for us to share one but with me needing to meet Louie I don't think I would make it there in time." Sesshomaru said as he reluctantly sat up in the bed.
"What would you like me to do until you figure everything out?" asked Kagome as she wrapped her arms around him from behind and rest her chin on his shoulder.
"I hate to ask you this but could you remain in these chambers until we figure out a solution? I know the last time you were here you were quarantined for your safety but I honestly feel this is the best course of action until we set a plan into motion." Sesshomaru asked as he threaded his fingers into her hand wrapped around his waist. "I promise it won't be forever. Just until I know you'll be safe."
"I guess I can do that… as long as you come and spend some time with me." Kagome said with a pleading look.
"It's going to be hard enough as it is leaving this bed let alone spending a couple hours away from you. I promise I will be parted from you no longer than necessary." Sesshomaru vowed before claiming her pouty lips.
"Alright. Would you mind sending Kaede back up with another tray of food? I didn't eat last night and I'm rather famished after our activities this morning." Kagome asked as she got up to help him put on his clothes.
"Of course. I'm sure she wants to speak with you anyway." Sesshomaru said as he pulled up his pants. "Why did you not eat last night?
"When Kaede was showing us our chambers I saw a painting of you and your family hanging above a fire place. When I looked into your eyes my mind was flooded with memories of you. I got overwhelmed and passed out. Next thing I remember I woke up in this room with Tsukiyomi checking me over. I was still a little dizzy when she offered me dinner so I told her I wasn't hungry." Kagome explained as she fixed the last of Sesshomaru's shirt buttons.
"Do these relapses in memory happen often?" Sesshomaru asked as he ran his fingers through her hair to check for any bumps.
"In the past few months yes. Which now that I think about it they became more and more frequent the closer our trip to Valencia came. There has to be a reason why that is. Maybe the gods were preparing me to come back to you?" Kagome said just before Sesshomaru's thumb ran over a sensitive spot making her hiss.
"You must have hit the floor pretty hard." Sesshomaru comforted as he tenderly ran his thumb over the spot. "I'll be sure to mention it to Kaede so she can find Tsukiyomi. "Can you take it easy today until she takes a look at it?"
"Yeah that's fine." Kagome said as she snuggled into his chest.
"Hn." Sesshomaru hummed as he wrapped his arms around her naked form and nuzzled his nose into her hair. "I'll be back as soon as I can."
"K." Kagome said before standing on her tiptoes and kissed his jaw.
Reluctantly letting her go he picked up his swords and headed towards the door. As he grasped the door handle he looked over his shoulder and took one last long look of his love. Standing in the center of the room with nothing covering her womanly form she never looked more beautiful to him. Her deep ocean blue eyes tore into him with love and happiness reflecting in their depths. Her long raven locks clung to her still slightly damp flesh showing lingering proof of their lovemaking. Here he could take in all of her blue markings along her body and loved how they emphasized her every curve. She was haloed in the morning's light shining in from the windows behind her and cast an orange glow about her form. She looked like an angel and when she said, "I love you," he couldn't stop the gentle smile from forming across his lips or the warmth of his love for her from reflecting in his eyes.
"As I you." He said back gently making her smile.
As soon as he vanished from her sight Kagome hugged herself tight and closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath she savored in his scent clinging to the air all around her and reflected over everything that had happened the past couple of hours. She couldn't believe that they were finally lovers. Everything was coming together and her heart felt like it was about to burst from happiness. His passion for her had stolen her breath away. Never would she have thought that someone could love her as deeply and as passionately as Sesshomaru did. There was no doubt in her mind now about the treatment of dog demons towards their mates. Everything she had heard of was true, times one hundred! She could still feel his ghostly caresses running across her skin and it made her body hum in delight. Knowing she needed to wash up before Kaede arrived she walked over to her personal items along the wall and pulled out her bathing materials. Pushing open the door she was greeted with a massive claw foot tub.
Seeing buckets of water she placed her items on a wooden bench sitting in the corner and began to fill up the tub. The water had long lost its warmth from sitting over night but after their actions this morning she couldn't wait to relax and cool off. Finished dumping the buckets into the tub she noticed it didn't nearly fill it to its potential. It was one of the largest tubes she had ever seen and had a feeling that both she and Sesshomaru could easily sit comfortably inside. Oh the things they could do in that tub. Giggling to herself she shook her head of those thoughts and began to pour in her scented soaps. Once it was ready she grabbed her washcloth and sank into the tub. The cool water felt great against her heated skin and a satisfied sigh passed her lips. Knowing she needed to wash her body and hair thoroughly she couldn't help but miss his lingering scent upon her skin; even more so when washing her tender flesh between her legs and across chafed nipples. Once she was clean she leaned back in the tub and relaxed. After a while she heard a knock at the door. Getting out of the tub she wrapped herself into her bathing robe and made her way into her bedroom.
"Come in!" Kagome called as she began to towel dried her hair.
"Ah good. Ye are up and washed. Thee has brought ye breakfast and Tsukiyomi to check on ye head." Keade said as she and the healer came into the room.
"Thank you! I really appreciate it. I'm sorry for the display this morning. It was not our intention for you all to find out about our reunion that way." Kagome apologized making the two women chuckle.
"It's not a problem my Lady. Now let me take a look at your head." Tsukiyomi said as she began to rub her fingers along her scalp. "Ooo you got a good little bump there. I wonder how I missed that?"
"It doesn't hurt unless you touch it and I'm not dizzy anymore." Kagome said as she took a bite of her toast.
"That's good. I'll be sure to check on it the next couple of days just to make sure. Until then, get some rest and take some of this. It will help bring down the swelling." Tsukiyomi said as she poured some herbs into her tea.
"Thanks Tsukiyomi. So what has all happened since I've been gone? Louie and Lizy already informed me of the first Lady and her son. What else have I missed?" asked Kagome curiously.
"Let me think… Oh! Miroku and Sango wed three summer's after ye passed and have four children." Tsukiyomi said as she sat in the chair across from her. "Their newest addition was born this past summer. His name is Sebastián and looks just like his father with the temperament of his mother."
"Really?! Oh that's wonderful!" Kagome said before taking a sip of her tea. "I'm glad to see Miroku finally settled his ways."
"Aye he has." Kaede chuckled as she began to pull her dirty sheets from her bed. "The only wondering hands he has now be towards his wife."
"Well at least they're towards her." Kagome chuckled. "What else?"
"Hmmm…" Tsukiyomi thought as she looked out the window. "Well you already know of our Lord avenging your death and of the drama that happened with Italy afterwards."
"My Lady? There be blood on ye sheets." Kaede said as she noticed the blood on the sheets. "Do ye need a bleeding cloth?"
"Oh no, I'm fine thank you. It's actually one of the other blessings the gods gave Sesshomaru and I. You see with this new body I was um… well." Kagome tried to explain through her blush.
"He was able to take ye wasn't he?" asked Kaede with a happy smile.
"Yes. All I am lacking in being fully his is a mating mark." Kagome said making Kaede clap her hands together in joy.
"Praise be the gods!" Keade cried happily. "Our Lord must have been very pleased."
"We both were very surprised I assure you. It's a moment we'll remember forever." Kagome said as she glowed with happiness.
"Thee will be sure to keep these sheets in case proof be needed to show ye were claimed first by our Lord." Kaede said as she began to make the bed with clean sheets. "There be tricky rules in becoming his Lordship's mate. One of them being of pure virtue before mating."
"I hope it will be enough." Kagome said as she finished off her breakfast. "So what is my Lord's son like?"
"He looks and acts very much like Inuyasha did when he was a young pup." Tsukiyomi said as she began folding up the bloody sheet before laying it on top of the trunk at the foot of her bed. "Lady Sara is human making Lorenzo a half-demon. He has dog-ears on the top of his head and white shoulder length hair. He is very mischievous and has the biggest smile you'll ever see."
"He sounds adorable." Kagome giggled as she set her now empty teacup on her breakfast tray. "I can't wait to meet him. I just hope with me having a relationship with his father won't hurt the little guy."
"Divorce can be very traumatizing but I'm sure if our Lord goes about it the right way Prince Lorenzo will be fine. He'll just have to take extra care in making sure the Prince isn't confused about what's happening. I recommend he spends some quality time with his father through the changes." Tsukiyomi said.
"That's a good idea. I think hearing what's happening from Sesshomaru first before others starts putting ugly thoughts into his head will be the first thing we should do." Kagome agreed. "Id hate for him to hear rumors from strangers and hurt the little guy. I probably shouldn't meet him until he's ready."
"Agreed. Lady Sara will not take the news well either." Kaede said making Kagome turn to look at her. "Thee think she deserves a private audience as well."
"What do you mean? I thought there relationship was only through contract?" asked Kagome in confusion.
"It is but our Lady has developed feelings for our Lord." Tsukiyomi warned. "Over the years they have become… well friends I guess you could say and bonded over their son. Everything was fine until Lorezno recently asked for a sibling."
"Oh." Kagome said as she nibbled on her lip and looked down at her hands resting in her lap. "I-I take it she is expecting?"
"No! No! Our Lord has not touched her since their wedding night to thy knowledge." Kaede said making Kagome unknowing release a breath she had not realized she had been holding. "However, that has not stopped her from trying to seduce our Lord into her bed."
"I guess I can't really hold that against the woman. She is married to him after all. If I were in her position I would want the same." Kagome said as she subconsciously pulled her arms around herself for comfort. "I just wish he wasn't forced into another woman's bed."
"If it's any consolation to you my Lady our Lord tried everything he could to avoid their marriage. If it weren't for threat of Spain's demise their union would have never happened." Tsukiyomi tired to sooth. "Ask anyone in the castle and they'll tell you the past five years without you has been very hard for him."
"Aye, were it not for young Lorenzo thy fear our Lord might have gone into depression or worse." Kaede agreed making Kagome's eyes widen in horror.
"Worse? You don't mean…" Kagome tried to ask but couldn't get herself to finish.
"Aye, thy do. The heart of a dog demon is very intricate and with ye being no longer a part of him it nearly drove him mad." Kaede said bringing tears to the water elementals eyes. "For that, I am grateful Lorenzo was conceived."
"I just hope the divorce doesn't do the same to Lady Sara in return." Tsukiyomi said as she began to pick up the breakfast tray. "Do you need anything else from us my Lady?"
"No, I think I'll rest for a while if that's alright?" Kagome asked as she slipped into bed.
"Of course my Lady. I'll be sure to come check on your head later today. Rest well." Tsukiyomi said while Kaede picked up the sheet and turned towards the door.
"Do no hesitate to ask for company should ye need it." said Kaede with a knowing smile.
"Thanks. I really appreciate you both." Kagome said as she snuggled under the covers.
"Rest well." Kaede said as she and Tsukiyomi slipped out the door.
Hearing the door close behind them Kagome laid back onto the pillows and stared up into the ceiling. What Tsukiyomi and Kaede shared with her in regards to Lady Sara was both comforting and unsettling. She knew she shouldn't feel betrayed but that didn't stop her heart from feeling its sting. By Lorenzo's age she guessed that he had to of had sexual relations with Sara just after she had died. Then to rub salt into the wound that very night he filled her womb with his seed. Didn't he just do the same to her? Hadn't he just said that her body was the only one who did those sinful things to? It made her want to go back into the bathing chambers and scrub herself raw. For him to of pupped Sara his body had to of enjoyed itself to some degree. Otherwise his seed wouldn't of taken. He fathered a pup that was heir to the thrown and Lorenzo was not... hers. This Sara had taken so much already from her and she couldn't help but feel jealous towards the woman. She had Sesshomaru first but by all legal rights he belonged to Sara.
What was she to do? She already was having an affair with him. From an outsider looking in she was worse than Sara was. Sesshomaru was married and by the sounds of it was even happily married. If she hadn't of shown up would he have fathered another pup and possibly eventually fallen in love with her? What kind of a woman would she be if she stayed and took that away from him? When she had recovered her memories having an affair hadn't event crossed her mind until Sesshomaru had mentioned having some things to talk to her about. By then they had already begun their affair with intimate kisses and touches. But who is she kidding. She wanted him as badly as he wanted her. She didn't give a damn about Sara. Sesshomaru was hers! However, now that she learned of Sara's feelings and what her selfish decision would do to Lorenzo could she go through with it? She loved Sesshomaru with her very soul but he was married and his son needed both of his parents! Curling into her self and clutching her pillow tight she allowed her grief and heart break to escape her. Before she realized it she had cried herself to sleep.
