Tides Against Time: Beasts
[Warning: Lemon, marked when finished]
"Mate…" his beast growled warmly as he nuzzled into her neck and nibbled behind her ear.
"Mate…" her beast purred in response and licked his chin. As they held each other Kagome continued to seduce him with her scent and gentle rolling from her hips.
"Your in heat Bitch... do you want Alpha's pup?" his beast groaned as he enjoyed her gentle rocking. Sniffing down her front he wanted to make sure she was okay to be pupped.
"I burn for your touch... My womb hungers for your seed. Take me as your Bitch Alpha for I desire to carry your pup." her beast sang as she seduced him. She submitted beneath him by lifting her chin making him growl in approval. Burning with heat she rocked harder against him to try and get him to join her. "Please Alpha... Show me your desires..."
"Your heat smells good Bitch…" his beast growled huskily as he fell prey to her seduction and rocked against her pussy. He could smell her heated musk clouding his senses and could feel how hot she was as he rode her. Wanting to pup her in the Inu style he reluctantly pulled his cock from her pussy and nudged her side with his nose. She whimpered from the loss but rolled onto her belly at his command. "I will fill your womb with my seed. You will be my bitch and have my pups."
"Pups? Yes! Give my womb many pups." her beast chirped as she eagerly obeyed and rolled onto her belly.
"Many... many pups…" his beast purred huskily in approval and nipped her hip to get her into place. Nosing her backside to make her get on her onto hands and knees he crawled behind her. Being the dog that he was he nosed her ass and licked at her swollen pink cunt. She moaned when his tongue stroked her. He growled in approval when he could sense that her womb was large and warm; perfect for growing pups. "Your womb smells healthy and strong. You will carry my pups many... many more times."
"Yes Alpha... fill me with your pups…" her beast purred as she felt him crawl up behind her.
She arched her back beautifully into his strong chest and thrust her ass up against him. Feeling his bitch spreading her legs apart for him made his cock twitch with excitement and precum at the tip. The strength of her heat and the intensity of her pheromones forced him into his own. As his heat began to build and itch in his manhood his body began to change. His dog-like white fur covered his body and his nose lengthen into a dog like snout. His demonic energy pulsed through his veins making his magenta markings darken and his fangs lengthen. Hearing her purrs and moans as his fur rubbed against her body he growled possessively and caged over her. Looking at his little bitch beneath him made his heat settle and his balls swell with his life seed. Sensing his bitch's excitement and drowning in her thick musky floral aroma made his mouth water. He nuzzled against her neck and playfully nibbled on her earlobe.
"You are mine bitch... mine!" His beast growled possessively as he gripped her hips and lifted her plump backside into a deeper position against him.
(*** Future - Mask Off (Official Instrumental) ***)
Feeling his bitch spread wide, hot to the touch and ready to be pup he slowly began humping along her opening insuring to coat his demonic shaft with her juices. As he humped his cock grew two shades darker from the rush of blood and swelled with his demonic energy and power. Having just rutted and burning with her intense heat Kagome's beast rocked her body firmly against his raging girth to relive her ache. Her flower's petals by now were swollen and dark pink and she trembled with need. Her scent filled their senses intensifying their needs. Caging over top of her back he wound one arm under to fondle her perky breasts while the other hand gripped her hips in place. Licking and nibbling along her neck and shoulder, he pinched and pulled her swollen teats in time with his hips. They had become hyper sensitive and were tender from her heat cycle. Knowing that his pups would soon be feasting from her breasts had him growling huskily against her shoulder. The feeling of his calloused hands roughly fondling them was exactly what they needed and she mewled in pleasure. Listening to his little bitch growl and purr beneath him had his shaft ready to pup. Thoroughly coated and pulsing with his own heat he entered his bitch quickly and was humping into her at an demonically fast pace.
His demonic girth gripped her insides unlike ever before and was hitting her in all the right places all at once. Release after release crashed over her as he built up inside her and she sang to the heavens with each one. Having one goal in mind his member became excessively heavy and sat low in her channel. He knew its limits were approaching when his balls began to tighten and his mushroom tip began to harden. Wanting this moment to be beyond all others he made short quick movements to maximize their experience. They had waited a long time for this moment and they were not going to waist a moment of it. The feeling quickly had her womb scorching hot and she was growling and clawing at the sheets beneath them. Hearing his bitch's growls and feeling her wriggle beneath him as he marked her womb with his demonic energy had his cock cumming at the tip. The building preasure was becoming painful and he groaned and growled as he humped. When his demonic life seed was ready to burst he gripped her shoulder with his jaws and knotted himself deep inside of her. Feeling the sting of his penis fisting like a rock deep in her womb had her whimpering from the pain and trying to pull away. His strong jaws around her shoulder and claws at her hips however kept her in place and allowed him to complete their bonding.
She continued to whimper in pain as he purred from deep in his chest. His instincts to comfort his bitch raced through his veins. As his life giving seed coated her awaiting womb the sting of his knot began to slowly fade away and she relaxed beneath him. When the heat of his demonic energy seeped into her womb marking her as his bitch she was left with a very full and extremely satisfying feeling. It felt like a heating pad and it made her purr and lick his chin with contentedness. His knot was large and it continued to thrum as load after load of his demonic life seed dumped into her. Her body having gone into heat instinctively locked around his cock and sucked his demonic essence into her. The combination of their lower bodies quivering and milking each other intensified the erotic hum buzzing through their bodies. The power of their releases had their vision seeing spots and their heads spinning wildly. It was an intense mind blowing experience and had them holding onto each other to keep from falling over. Seeing his bitch relax with a dopy smile on her face while smelling his demonic energy forever marking her womb had him purring loudly in delight. She had taken his demonic heat like a champ and he purred with pride. As their bodies remained bonded they licked, kissed and nuzzled along each other's lips, cheeks, necks and jaws.

Although she lacked his mating mark upon her skin them starting a pack within the demonic world spoke louder than any other bond. She was his chosen bitch to mother his pups and he was her chosen alpha to father her pups. Demon's unlike humans could reject unwanted seed from their womb. This was crucial for their safety and survival insuring only the strongest of demons would be bred. By her fully accepting his seed into her womb it meant that she had chosen him to father her pups. She was more than a concubine to him; she was his chosen bitch and mate-to-be. With Sara not having his demonic marking within her womb or mating mark upon her skin, even when Lorenzo had been conceived showed to the demonic world that he valued Kagome above his wife. Kagome was his head bitch and once marked she would be mated to him and hopefully life mates. He knew soul bonding existed having met bonded pairs before. With the history he and Kagome shared he didn't doubt that they could very well be soul mates. The wouldn't know until after they mated if the gods had fated them to be together for all time. If they were life mates their auras would blend together upon sharing life energies and if death took them in the future they wouldn't be separated even beyond the grave. They would be together until the end of time.
Knowing they had gained this bonding connection made them hold each other tight. They were one step closer in becoming mates and possibly soul mates. They purred in delight and savoring in this beautiful moment. As they held each other close he ran his claws lovingly over her stomach. They could feel his demonic energy soaking into her inner walls and a warmth wrapped around his seed. There was no doubt in their minds that his seed was taking root inside. He could smell that her heat was slowly fading away meaning her body was willingly accepting him. He growled in approval knowing she wanted this as much as he did. She was his bitch and soon their little pups would be growing inside. He wasn't sure what his pups would look like or what powers they would possess with them being different race but he didn't care. He could tell from her demonic power that whatever they looked like they would be strong and bring honor to his line. Feeling her tiring in his arms he licked her cheek and carefully lowered them to the bed. Not wanting to pull on his knot and risk ruining their connection he leaned over top of her and purred against her back. His steady purrs and body heat felt amazing against her back and it made her feel safe and protected. Snuggling back into his body she chirped in purred and threaded her fingers with his over her womb. She could sense that his instincts were driving him to stay alert and protect her in her state of weakness. It made her smile knowing even this early how much their little pack meant to him.
"Any pups yet Alpha?" she whispered as she began to fall asleep beneath him.
Leaning away from her neck without pulling on their knot he began to sniff down her back. As he sniffed he noticed her demonic markings were gradually fading to their lighter shade of blue. He knew she was tired and was close to returning to her cage to sleep. Feeling their connection starting to weaken inside her womb and catching a subtle change in her scent he growled in pleasure and licked against her lower back.
"Your scent is changing." he growled low waking her from her light snooze.
"Changing?" she chirped uncertain as he caged protectively over her. Taking one last strong whiff and smelling the last of his seed taking root he grinned against her back and licked up her spine.
"My Bitch is pupped." he growled huskily making her chirp and lick along his cheek and chin excitedly.
"I'm pupped?! I'm pupped! Alpha we're having pups!" she sang and trembled under him from her happiness.
"My Bitch is pupped!" he howled before he claimed her lips in a kiss. Tightened his fingers with hers over her womb he howled again, "Our pups! We're having pups!"
"Our little pack..." she sniffled with a happy tear rolling down her cheek. As they held each other tight her exhaustion became too much and she was falling asleep in his arms.
"Rest Bitch... your Alpha will protect the pack." he said as he rubbed his snout against her little nose in a farewell kiss.
Feeling her settle beneath him as she continued to mumble "pups" he pulled her close and purred into her neck. He was thankful no one was on this side of the castle to barge in on their moment together. Lost in his own excitement he momentarily forgot to stay quite. As much as he wanted the world to know of his bitch being pupped he chose to howl again at a later date. There would be many more times in the coming months to celebrate. As he watched his bitch sleep beneath him he ran his claws over her womb and licked over her shoulder where he had gripped her with his fangs. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen and was ecstatic to call her his. Sure, she had seduced him with her pheromones and intoxicating body but he had willingly fallen prey. Now if his wife had tried that... it would have ended very differenly. Already smelling the changes in her body he nuzzled into her neck and carefully laid them onto their sides. In a protective spoon he pulled her back up against his chest and took one deep inhale of his growing pack. He couldn't yet identify how many pups were growing in her womb but he had sensed her body could whelp up to six. The idea of so many pups at one time had his eyes burning with future potential. The smell coming off of her was already intoxicating and he promised himself to always have her smell this way.
Eventually he felt his master pressing on his control and reluctantly he sank back into his master's mind. As he returned to his cage the hair along his body disappeared, his snout and fangs shortened into a human features and the hard edges of his body decreased. As Sesshomaru began to regain his senses and his demonic energy return to regular levels, the relentless sucking and pulling motion along his dick made him gasp in surprise and had his head spinning in delight. The pleasure was indescribable and had him gasping for breath as his cock released with vigor making it very hard to keep focus. Uncertain what was happening he remained where he was and tried to stabilize his breathing. Realizing he was almost lying on top of Kagome as she slept he began to roll off of her. However when he heard her whimper and moan he stopped and noticed that he was stuck deep inside her. When a bruise on her shoulder came into his line of sight he saw it was made from teethmarks. When the realization of what had happed set in his eyes widened in surprise and he clutched his racing heart. As she slept they remained deeply connected within her womb and he had to take a deep breath to steady himself from the rush of emotions that overwhelmed him.
He couldn't believe it! That smell he sensed earlier was her spring heat! She had been in heat! Why had he not thought of that before?! He was in shock! Kagome's beast had chosen his beast as her alpha and allowed him to pup her! Carefully curling around her he nuzzled into her neck and held her close in his arms. Taking a deep breath he savored in their scent. The combination of their blended scent was beautiful. It smelled like a tropical ocean breeze blowing through a thick rain forest. He couldn't stop the purr that rumbled up from his chest as he marinated in it. He never wanted to forget it. How he wished he could have been a part of their rutting but he understood why he wasn't. With he and Kagome being locked away it made his seed and her womb stronger providing stronger, healthier pups. It seemed like forever for him to empty himself and for her to stop sucking on him. When he finally felt himself unknot from inside and sensed his demonic energy at last stain her womb as his, he knew her body at last accepted his seed. Unable to hold back his happiness he buried his face into the bedding and howled.
Happy tears filled his eyes and a tight sting clung to his throat. She was pupped! When he had filled his wife's womb with his seed his beast had refused to enhance it with his energy or knot inside. It was a miracle Sara's body conceived at all. When Lorenzo had been born without his markings he at first thought she had had an affair but remembering breaking her maiden head immediately stopped those train of thoughts. He later learned it was due to his beast's lack of demonic energy was the cause. Although Lorenzo was hi first born son his inner beast did not mark him as his heir. Now with Kagome he would at last have a pureblood pup. He would have to figure out what to do with his son later. Although lacking his mark Lorenzo was still his heir. Experiencing this connection however with his lover had been the greatest feeling he had ever experienced. He was beyond happy it was with Kagome and not with Sara. Kagome's tropical floral sent already had a slight change to it as he breathed it in. It was very subtle but the hint of a spring landscape began to sift through it. It made him want to howl to the heavens for days on end but just like his inner beast, the knowledge of alerting his castle made him stop.
As he held her sleeping form in his arms his heart raced in his chest and felt a few tears escape from his eyes. It was an indescribable feeling knowing the love of his life, his mate-to-be, his beloved bitch was pupped. PUPPED! He had just gotten her back last night and already they were starting a family together! A PACK! He couldn't believe it and the proof was resting right here in his arms! He smiled against her hair and chuckled against her shoulder. He felt so giddy and alive! He wanted to transform into his true form, run off his excitement and howl it to the world for days on end. Perhaps he could do just that after everything was settled? Pulling her hair away from her slumbering face he planted feather light kisses along her neck, shoulder and jawline. She smiled in her sleep as he kissed but remained deep in slumber. He could feel her exaustion and knew she needed to sleep but he couldn't stop himself. He needed to shower her with his over flowing joy! He wanted to make passionate love to her over and over. How his cock burned for her again with the amout of seed he had just spit he had no idea but there was no denying his feelings. He was just so... so happy!
He couldn't think of another time he felt so alive. While he held her in his arms he noticed the position of the sun from the window. It was well past noon and had about twenty minutes left before everyone would come looking for him. Just the thought of leaving her let alone in her condition nearly had his beast slamming back into the forefront of his mind and locking him away forever. However the need to claim her legally as his bitch, mate and possibly life mate had he and his beast carefully pulling out of her and slipping out of bed. He heard her moan from the loss of his cock and body heat in her sleep and it made his flaccid cock twitch with renewed heat. God what that woman did to him! When he smelled his seed running down her legs and saw it soaking into the sheets it made him purring with male pride and burn with need to mark her as his forever. She smelled heavily of him and he could sense the lingering traces of his demomic energy marking her womb as his. Oh yes... he and his inner beast were very pleased about that. Her heat couldn't of come at a better time in his mind. Were she in heat last night he would have pupped her then too.
She was his in heart and body now no matter what anyone said all that was left was to sign their names on the dotted line and bind their souls together forever. Even if that got delayed she was his bitch and the mother of his pack no matter what anyone said. He couldn't wait to sink his teeth into her neck and mark her as fully claimed. Just the idea of licking up her blood make him moan. Knowing that she couldn't be his until the divorce was finalized and Sara had been sent home he cleared his mind of rutting and prepared to return to his duties. As he dressed he watched his beautiful bitch sleep and it made his eyes soften and his heart swoon with love for her. She looked thoroughly satisfied and her breasts, lips and lower body were pink and swollen from his touch. Her raven locks were sweaty and tussled from him ringing his fingers through it. She looked fucking beautiful and he drank up this image into his mind. He would be sure to think over this moment till the end of time. Having dressed and ready to go he got on his knees beside the bed and looked into her beautifully slumbering face. Not wanting to leave her without saying goodbye he traced the markings upon her face as she did once upon a time and kissed her lips and lovingly caress. Placing his palm over exposed lower stomach he purred at the energy that flowed beneath it.
Kagome having felt his touch awaked and asked through a scratchy voice, "Sesshomaru?"
"Sorry to wake you." Sesshomaru said gently as her beautiful blue eyes fluttered open. Leaning forward and licked her chin in apology he nuzzled along her cheek. "I must get back to work."
"That's alright. I'm in need of another bath anyway." Kagome giggled making him smirk. "What happened anyway? Last thing I remember was letting my beast come out to say hello."
"Lets just say our beasts had a little too much fun without us." Sesshomaru hinted making Kagome's eyebrows disappear into her bangs. "I woke up for the after party. I'll tell you about it when I get back."
"Oh really?" Kagome laughed. "Sounds exciting."
"Very." Sesshomaru agreed with a smirk as he rubbed her nose with his in farewell. "I'll be back as soon as I tuck Lorenzo in. Get some rest my little mermaid. Tsukiyomi will be around sometime later this afternoon to check your head."
"K." Kagome smiled as she traced his markings making him smile.
Cupping his face she leaned up and took hold of his lips. They moaned as they lost sense of reality. It was a slow and tender kiss. One that made her toes curl and her heart pound in her chest. Kagome could tell he was reluctant to go as much as she was by how deeply he kissed her lips and how passionately his tongue stroked and petted her own. However, knowing that for them to being their forever together as mates he needed to leave. Sucking on his lower lip one last time and licking along his jaw she said her goodbye barely above a whisper. His amber eyes burned with longing and something else she wasn't sure of as he sighed in defeat and made his way towards the door. Giving him a reassuring smile she watched as he reluctantly turn the door knob and stepped outside. Once he had left her chambers Kagome sat up in the bed to once again take a bath. However when she sat up she gasped at the flood of fluids that ran down her legs.
"Good gods Sesshomaru! Are you trying to catch up for the last fifteen years?" Kagome joked to herself as she pulled the already heavily saturated sheets off of the bed. Holding them between her legs she waddled to the bathing room.
Once inside she cleaned herself up and tossed the dirty sheet in the corner. She felt sorry for whoever got stuck cleaning that. Getting into the cool water she got to work on her body. She noticed while washing that there was a tender place near the base of her neck and left shoulder blade. Feeling little rivets she gasped at the realization that they were teethmarks. Not remembering Sesshomaru biting her from their previous rutting she assumed his beast had held her with his jaws when her beast was out. His fangs hadn't pierced the skin but his indentations were deeply imprinted and still tender to the touch. She could only guess that there would be a bruise forming around the edges. She could feel her body slowing healing and figuring it would go away in a couple hours. Dismissing it she went on with her washing. As she washed she couldn't help but notice her breasts were very tender to the touch and her lower body was soar and very... very sensitive. Had she not just experienced multiple rounds of passionate sex within the last twenty-four hours she might have considered a little private playtime. However the water was dirty with soap, sweat and dirt and didn't want that getting into places it shouldn't.
Finishing up her bath she wrapped a towel around herself and picked up the discarded sheets off of the floor. Walking over to the linen closet along the wall she pulled out clean sheets to put on the bed. Tossing the dirty ones in the hamper near the bedroom door she finished drying off before stripping the bed and remaking it. Once she was finished she pulled out her nightgown from her trunk. Knowing she wasn't going to be leaving the comforts of her chambers any time soon she pulled out the book she had been reading on the ship and relaxed on the sofa. Placing a blanket over her legs she relaxed and reflected over the past two days. She couldn't believe everything that had happened and knew it was only the beginning. It made her smile as the memories of her time with Sesshomaru flickered in her minds eye. Knowing he was right now fighting for them had her heart racing. Whatever was going on in Sesshomaru's meeting she knew the court had to be upset. Her arrival had tipped their world off of its axis and forced them to rethink and restructure everything they had accomplished the past five demon years.
Gaining knowledge of Sara's feelings towards Sesshomaru didn't help her anxiety either but at least she knew what side Sesshomaru was on. She had a feeling in her gut even without knowing her yet that Sara was going to be a problem. She had learned long ago that Sesshomaru was a man of few words and that his actions spoke louder. Him fighting for them as mates in a court filled with those who would appose him spoke louder than anything. True he could shower her in compliments or gifts and coming from him it would make her heart sing but she didn't need that to know how he felt about her. He wanted her to be his mate; his head bitch and he desired to begin a life together with her forever; not Sara. No, she had no doubts of his love. Could he have feelings for Sara in return? She wasn't sure but had a feeling that Inu demons were very selective and the he was choosing her over Sara. Feeling a headache coming on, she set down her book and decided to recline into the love seat. Just as she closed her eyes youthful voices came from outside her door. Looking up she saw Odette crack it open and peep inside.
"Aunti Rin? Can we come in to say hi?" asked Odette quietly.
"Sure sweetie. Just try to be quite. My head hurts a little." Kagome said as she sat up on the cushion and adjusted her back pillow.
"Ohtay!" Odette smiled before talking to someone behind her. "Shhh we gots to be quite. She has a headed aches."
"Who are you talking to sweetie?" Kagome asked as Odette began to open the door.
"My new fwind!" Odette declared happily as the door opened to reveal a white haired honey-brown eyed half demon pup. "Dis is Lowenzo! Lowenzo dis is my Auntie Rin!"
"H-hi" Lorenzo greeted shyly as he came into the room with his ears pinned back on his head and a light blush to his cheeks.
Kagome looked like a dear caught in headlights. Her spine straightened to its full extent and her skin paled to a pasty white. A clammy sweat broke out on her skin and her heart had stopped fully before slammer at full speed in her chest. Her eyes were wide, her lips were thin and her mouth was dry as a desert. Seeing her aunt in such a sate had Odette panicking and racing to her side to comfort her.
"Aunti Rin awe you ohtay?!" Odette cried as she took the trembling water elemental's hands into hers. Hearing the distress in her niece's voice shook Kagome from her shock.
"Forgive me sweetie. I-I'm just feeling a little under the weather. I'm sorry to have frightened you both." Kagome said bringing the little chick into a gentle hug. She nuzzled into her curly hair and kissed and licked her cheek affectionately. Extending her hand out to the young pup she motioned for him to come closer. "Come here pup. I didn't mean to frighten you. Your name is Lorenzo?"
Lorenzo just nodded his head as he tentatively walked closer to the water elemental. As he grew closer he noticed the woman smelled heavily of his father. Having sensed nothing negative on her person or in her aura he figured if his Papa liked her, he would too. Standing next to Odette he took in the woman before him. She had long black hair with blue under tones. It looked soft like silk and he had to hold his hands behind his back to keep from touching it. She had pretty light blue markings on her cheeks and wrists like his papa and had a warm smile that made him want to smile too. Her eyes were the deepest blue he had ever seen and he thought they made her look very pretty. She smelled like the ocean and pretty flowers and it made him feel safe and calm. Feeling satisfied in his assessment of her he took hold of her offered hand and joined in their hug.
"It's nice to meet you Lorenzo. I'm Odette and Arthur's Aunt. You look just like your uncle Enuyasa." Kagome said making the pup gasp in surprise.
"You know my Until?!" Lorenzo asked as his big honey brown eyes twinkled in youthful admiration.
"I do!" Kagome said as she tickled his side making him giggle. "Your uncle and I were very good friends. Before he became King of the Water Kingdom he looked a lot like you! He had long white hair and cute fuzzy ears on the top of his head. I was really sad when he changed and they went away."
"Why?" asked Odette curiously.
"Because I loved to touch them." Kagome said as she rubbed behind the boy's ears affectionately. The little pup nearly went limp and leaned into her touch. His eyes became hooded and a cute little purr rolled in his chest as she rubbed behind them. Wanting to join in on the fun Odette giggled and scratched the other.
"Day awe so soft!" Odette gasped in surprise as little Lorenzo's cheeks flamed in embarrassment. "I wove dem!"
Hearing the acceptance and love for his half demon ears a dopy smile spread across the young boy's face. Unable to resist the pull on her instincts, Kagome released her hold from around his ears and wrapped her arms around him. Nuzzling into his neck a steady comforting purr rumbled up from deep in her chest. The little pup surprised at the sudden affection stiffened in her arms. However being surrounded in his father's sent as he received little licks and nibbles along his jaw and hearing the steady purr of a pack mother had him quickly relaxing in her embrace and nuzzling into her neck. Having had a human for a mother neglected him of this crucial pack bond. His body craved for it and stirred him into action. Needing to fill in the missing pieces to his development he readily accepted her as his pack mother. Warmth unlike she had ever experience washed over her as she held her mate-to-be's pup in her arms.
Although she knew he wasn't hers instinct drove her to claim him. He was in distress and she could sense his lack in nurishment. His aura although strong had patches in it. She wasn't sure if it was because of his human half but knew she could fill in some of the missing pieces. Needing to scent mark him she licked his neck and rubbed her hands along his arms and back. When his little nose rubbed against her neck he released little whimpers and cries. Needing to feel his pack mother he kneading against her upper chest like a nursing pup and tried to connect with her. Feeling his call for a mother she flooded him with her aura making them blend together as pack. To her relief and surprise all of the patches in his aura were filled in but one. Perhaps it was a spot meant for a future mate?
Not sensing any distress in the gap in his aura she held him close and continued to purr. As his aura accepted their bond his little whimpers receded and he relaxed in her arms fully accepting the bond. Using her hands she rubbed his back and rand her fingers through his silver locks. Sniffing along his neck and hair she could smell their bond seeping through his skin. Satisfied in his cloaked scent and familial bond, Kagome reclined back onto the couch and motioned for the little demons to join her. Odette being demon and having a mother who grew up in a pride of lions understood what had happened and started laughing from joy. Her friend now had a pack mother and could tell they were happy. Before she could stop all three of them were laughing with joy and snuggling up together on the couch. Pulling them close she kissed their cheeks and cover all three of their laps with her blanket.
"Auntie Rin can you tell us a stowy?" Odette asked making Lorenzo gasp in excitement.
"Pewees Aunti Rin?" Lorenzo begged with big puppy dog eyes. "I wove stowies!"
"Alright! I'll tell you a story and you don't have to call me Aunti Rin little one. I'm your pack mother now." Kagome said making the boys eyes widen in realization. "What do you call your birth mother?"
"I call her mama." Lorenzo said making Kagome's smile falter a little. How she wished he would call her that.
"Hmmm. Well you can't call both your birth mother and myself mama. It would get confusing on who you are talking to. Let me think." Kagome said as she scratched her chin in thought. She thought about all the other typical mother names like mommy, mother, mimi etc. but figured to keep her identity undercover she would have to come up with something else. Then it hit her, "What about... Gome?"
"Go-may?" repeated Lorenzo with a confused expression.
"Yes, Gome! You see my real name is Ka-go-me but you can just call me Gome for short. However, you can't tell anyone my real name." Kagome whispered making the little one's eyes grow wide in wonder.
"Weally?" Odette asked in surprise."Why Auntie... Gome?"
"Mhmm" Kagome nodded. "You have to promise not to tell anyone. Someone could hurt me if they know my real name. Oh and you can keep calling me Rin, Odette. I'll always be your Auntie no matter what."
"Oh no!" Odette gasped as she covered her little mouth with her hands.
"No! I wont wet dem hurts you! Youz my Gome now!" Lorenzo shouted making Kagome's headache flutter. As he nuzzled her cheek against his and wrapped his arms around her neck she pushed the pain away and held him tight. "I pwamis to not tell."
"Me too!" Odette said as she hugged Kagome too.
"Good." Kagome sighed in relief. "Now how about that story?"
"Yay! Whats da stowy about?" asked Lorenzo excitedly.
"Its about a Prince who fell in love with a mermaid." said Kagome making Odette tremble in her spot.
"I woves mermaids!" Odette said excitedly.
"Good." Kagome giggled as the little ones snuggled into her sides. "Once upon a time there was a little mermaid. She loved to swim in the sea and play in the sand. She had long black hair and a pretty purple tail. When the sun hit it just right it shimmered with greens and golds."
"Wow! She sounds so pwetty." Odette cooed making Lorenzo roll his eyes.
"Oh torse she's pwetty. She's a mermaid! All mermaids awe pwetty." Lorenzo said making Kagome laugh.
"Yes, she was a very pretty mermaid and loved to go on adventures. One night she swam under the stars when fire works began to shoot off of a boat. Being curious she swam up to the boat and climbed up the side ladder using her arms and strong tail. When she peaked over the railing. Do you know what she saw?"
"What! What did she see?" shouted Lorenzo and Odette excitedly.
"Shhh. Remember my head hurts." Kagome said as she winced from the pain.
"Sorry Auntie Rin!" Odette apologized as she and Lorenzo quieted at her side. "But what did she see?"
"That's ok. I know you two didn't mean it." Kagome giggled. "She saw a birthday party and everyone on board was dancing and singing to the music."
"I wove bifday pawdies." Odette said. "My bifday is in Januwawy."
"Mines in Mawch!" Lorenzo said as he held up five fingers. "I'll be dis many."
"Your birthday's coming up!" Kagome smiled. "Are you going to have a party?"
"I don't know." Lorenzo shrugged "Maybe Papa can gives me one?!"
"Maybe. You'll have to ask him later." Kagome said as she mentally laughed at the attention span of a toddler. "Anyway while she was watching the party she saw a handsome Prince. He had long silver hair and bright amber eyes. Around his waist were two swords; a sword of life and a sword of death. No one could use these swords but him. He was a brave demon warrior and stood strong and proud under the moon. Suddenly a big storm came out of nowhere and made the ship hit some rocks!"
"Oh no!" gasped Odette as Lorenzo's eyes went wide.
"What happened?!" Lorenzo asked as he gripped the blanket tight in his little fists.
"The Prince tried to escape the sinking ship but the left over fireworks exploded before he could. The blast caused him to hit his head on the ship and he began to sink to the bottom of the sea."
"No!" cried Lorenzo "Don't die Mr. Pwince!"
"Luckily the mermaid having seen the whole thing saved the Prince from drowning and took him safely to shore." Kagome said making the little ones sigh dramatically in relief. "When the Prince woke up from his sleep he looked into the mermaid's eyes and instantly fell in love with her beauty. Wanting to tell him of her feelings she began to sing to him. Her voice was sweet like a bird's song and it made his heart soar. Feeling the same he looked into her eyes and tried to sit up to kiss her. However, it wasn't meant to be. Just as they were about to kiss someone shouted for the Prince from up the beach and scared the mermaid away."
"Awe!" whined Odette dramatically. "Dey were so close!"
"Yes they were." Kagome giggled at her disappointment. "But don't worry. The story goes on."
"What happens next?" asked Lorenzo curiously.
"That… is a story for another day." Lizy said as she leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed over her chest. "I wondered were you two ran off. When I finished my bath I found you two were gone and about went into a fit! Thankfully you went just across the hall instead of the entire castle grounds."
"Sorry Maman." Odette apologized as she and Lorenzo looked down into their laps with shame.
"We didn't means to make you wowiez." Lorenzo apologized as his ears flattened on his head.
"We just wanted to check on Auntie Rin!" Odette explained.
"I know little ones. Just let me know where you go before you sneak off next time." Lizy said as she took in the water elemental. "And how are you?"
Kagome was nestled comfortably between the two toddlers. She noticed Kagome reeked of Sesshomaru's scent and could sense his demonic energy deep in her womb. She could only guess at what had happened and it made her feelings mixed with uncertainty. Not wanting to mention it in front of the little ones she held her tongue. When she first saw Lorenzo sitting comfortably at Kagome's side she was shocked. It was evident by the cloaking scent on the pup's aura and skin that they had completed a pack ritual. The fact that Sesshomaru's pup instinctively accepted Kagome as his alpha mother and she having returning the claim was incredible. It was very rare for demons to claim young that wasn't theirs; especially from disloyal mates. Unsure if it was because of pack instinct or not, she was grateful for the transition all the same. Lorenzo was going to need all the support he could get when Lady Sara found out about everything. It would definitely help with explaining things to him down the road. With Lorenzo having claimed both as his mother, he shouldn't feel torn in his loyalty. The only thing now that could hurt Lorenzo is if Sara tares him away from his pack completely. It was that concern she was most afraid of.
"My headache has come back." Kagome said casually so not to worry her adopted sister. "I think some rest will do me some good."
"Yuck. For you to mention it, it must be a good one. I'll be sure to send Tsukiyomi up to check on you." Lizy said just as the person she had hoped wouldn't show up did.
"There you are darling!" Lady Sara cried as she came into the room. "I spoke with your father after lunch. He has given his permission for you to go to school!"
"Weally?!" Lorenzo shouted making Kagome flinch. "(Gasp)! Sowry Gome! I didn't means to make your headed aches hurts again."
"That's ok, I know you didn't mean it." Kagome chuckled as Lorenzo's apologized by licking on her jaw.
"I'm sorry... who are you? I don't believe we've met... I'm Lady Sara, Lorenzo's mother?" Lady Sara asked as she watched the display of affection in confusion. She had never seen her son show such display of affection to anyone other than her and Sesshomaru. It made her jealous that he would willingly seek affection outside of their family; especially from a female demoness.
"This is my adopted sister, Lady Rin. She was unable to join us earlier today for introductions due to being ill. I apologize for not introducing you both earlier." Lizy said hoping to ease the awkward tension.
"Ah yes! How unfortunate you're not feeling well. Our head healer is very good. I'm sure under her care you will be feeling better in no time." Sara said with a fake smile.
She hadn't meant to snap at the woman but for some reason her gut made her not like the water elemental before her. She wasn't a fool... she knew the demonic affection Rin was doing with her son. She was bonding with him like a pack mother would do with her pup and it made a shiver run down Sara's spine. Surly this demoness wasn't trying to sneak into her pack by steal her pup away from her and possibly her husband too? True, she couldn't provide certain things for her husband or son but surely they wouldn't leave her for this stranger? When she saw Lorenzo continue to snuggle into Rin's chest and purr with contentedness a thread of envy curve her heart. Who did this bitch think she was? If Sesshomaru saw how Rin was bonding with his pup would his beast approve? She was a water demoness like his mate had been. Would he have a soft spot for her? Could she get under Sesshomaru's skin and possibly into his bed? They were hers damn it and this demoness had no right to come into her home and treat her with such disrespect like this.
"Tsukiyomi is very good. Lizy was actually just about to send for her." Kagome said as she refused to look up at the woman in acknowledgment.
It had surprised her how rude Lady Sara had been upon seeing Lorenzo showing her a simple demonic apology. She knew she was Sesshomaru's wife and it made her instincts as his chosen bitch to put her in her place. However, knowing it wasn't time yet to reveal their intimate relationship she held her tongue. Sara would learn her place soon enough. Instead she focused her attention on the sweet little pup sitting in her lap. He was currently fiddling with a strand of her long hair and rubbing it between his fingers. It made her happy smelling his scent on her person and vise versa. He was a little doll baby and she swooned with love for him already. Her eyes softened when she saw he had a happy smile to his lips and heard his little purr. He was just too cute! Too bad he had Sara's eyes and not Sesshomaru. No matter she loved him all the same. Feeling him snuggle closer to her she wrapped him in her motherly aura and purr lightly so only demon's would hear.
"I see..." Sara frowned missing Queen Elizabeth's cautious step in getting closer to Kagome's side incase things got ugly.
"Being ill has ridden me to the confines of this room. Odette and Lorenzo came to check on me and I readily accepted their company." Kagome said as she saw Lorenzo and Odette light up at the compliment.
"Is your illness contagious?" asked Lady Sara in concern. "I do not appreciate you possibly infecting my son."
Surprised by her use in tone Lizy turned to look at her. "No, Rin suffers from head trauma... not a virus. This occasionally makes her get dizzy and faint. She fainted in your lounge room across the parlor yesterday and hit her head on the tiles near the fireplace. This is why she wasn't there last night to greet you with my mate."
"Sounds terrible." Sara said unmoved as she watched her son contently play in the woman's lap. "I'm sure as a demon you will heal quick enough. Come Lorenzo, it's time to wash up before supper."
"But I want to stay here and play!" Lorenzo whined as he ran his claws down a long strand of her hair again unknowingly coating Kagome with his scent.
"We don't have time for this darling. Your father will be finishing up his meeting soon and he will want to see you before you go to sleep." Sara scolded as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Now come along. If you eat all of your vegetables tonight we can take Lady Elizabeth and Princess Odette around town tomorrow."
"Oktay..." Lorenzo sighed making Kagome smile. She didn't want him to go either.
"Can Aunti Rin come?" asked Odette as she reluctantly crawled out from under the blanket to stand at her mother's side.
"You go on and have fun without me. I need to stay and rest. Why don't you and Lorenzo bring me back some fresh bread from one of the bakeries?" Kagome suggested as she kissed the little chick on the cheek.
"Any bwead?" asked Lorenzo as he looked up from the hair in his hands.
"Any bread." Kagome smiled as she rubbed her nose against his making him giggle.
"Then it's settled. We will leave you here while we explore the city." Sara said as she narrowed her eyes at the water elemental in warning.
However what Lizy and Kagome interpreted was: "Get the hell away from my pup bitch. He's mine." This made Kagome clench her jaw to suppress a growl as Lizy stiffen in surprise.
"Come Lorenzo. Your supper is waiting." Sara said as she took hold of her pup's hand and dragged him off of her lap. They disappeared down the hall leaving two stunned demonesses behind. Kagome haven shaken out of her shock whimpered and trembled with anger and pain. Her beast was clawing at her mind to chase after Sara and put her in her place but she knew she needed to stay were she was in the safety of her room until Sesshomaru said otherwise. So she sank back into her seat and whimpered in defeat of losing her pup to the bitch. Leaving Sara 1 / Kagome 0.
"Go on Odette. I need to speak with your Aunt for a minute. Tell your father to start without me. I'll be there shortly." Lizy purred as she nuzzled her chick before ushering her out the door. Once they could no longer hear them walking down the hall Lizy closed the door.
"Are you ok?" Lizy asked as she sat on the couch beside her.
"No... but I will be." Kagome whimpered as she leaned her head back against the couch and closed her eyes to hide her watering eyes. "She's a witch..."
"I don't know what has gotten into her. When Louie and I were talking with her this morning she seemed like a really nice human. As soon as she saw you holding her son however it was like a switch went off and she became a completely different beast. I didn't realize humans could be so territorial over their offspring." Lizy sighed as she too reclined into the couch and closed her eyes. "Lorenzo is…"
"Wonderful." Kagome interjected making Lizy stop and turn to look at her with surprise. "He looks just like you described him and more... so much more. When I first saw him I nearly cried. He was so beautiful standing there I couldn't help but instantly fall in love with him. His white hair and little ears reminded me so much of Inuyasha and it made my heart flutter with joy. However, what held me back from running to him were his eyes. They weren't my mates, nor Inuyasha's but hers. Not mine... hers. It hurt so much looking into those eyes but as soon as I had him in my arms all those feelings of hatred and bitterness faded away. I could sense that he was a little pup searching for love and nourishment from a pack and my inner beast and I were more than ready to accept him."
"I can smell Lorenzo's claim on you. I'm assuming by that he has accepted you to be his pack mother?" asked Lizy.
"As he should. Sara never have been the one to carry him. He should have been mine." Kagome whimpered making Lizy pull her into her arms. "Why did I have to die? Why did I have to be taken away? Why does the world hate my mate so much into forcing him to betray me? Why did Lorenzo have to be mothered by another? Why did she have to be so... so cruel?"
"Shhhh, let it out." Lizy soothed as she held her sobbing friend in her arms. "I don't know why it happened or why she was so hateful towards you. However you now have two choices to make little sister. You either let her win or you fight back. I for one am ready for you to be happy and to take control of your life once more. However, if that means you coming back with us to sort out your feelings on what you truly want that's fine too. Just know Louie and I will always be there for you."
"Thanks Lizy. You know you're an amazing friend right?" Kagome chocked out between her sobs as the lioness purred and rocked them from side to side.
"What can I say? My genetic makeup makes me loyal to a fault!" the lioness teased making Kagome giggle. "Are you ok for me to go grab Tsukiyomi or do you want me to stay a little longer?"
"No, you go on to dinner. I'm going to go back to bed to try and sleep of this headache. If you want to send up Tsukiyomi that's fine but don't go out of your way to send for her." Kagome sniffled as she straightened up from her friends lap and wiped away her tears.
"If you need anything just remember I'm right across the hall." Lizy said as she helped her friend get settled back in bed. "I'll swing by tomorrow when we return from town."
"Sounds good. Goodnight Lizy." Kagome said as she reclined into her pillows with a sad smile.
"Goodnight Kagome." Lizy smiled back knowingly before reluctantly closing the door behind her.
Once the door was closed Lizy let out a long sigh and shock her head to clear her nerves. Her friend was in pain and needed medical attention right away. She had seen the way her eyes had dilated irregularly and knew she had to have a concussion again. By the looks of it; it was a nasty one. Not wanting to waist anymore time she quickly made her way down the hall. Lizy focused her senses on finding the two beings who could help her friend. Catching sight of her prey she made her way towards them and pounced.
