A/N: Heehee, Howdees peeps! I was reading my reviews again, and I read one that I just have to talk about!

"MAKE KAGOME FALL IN LOVE WITH SESSHOMARU AND MAKE THEM MATE IN A HOTSPRING AFTER A VERY ROMANTIC DINNER. MAKE KOUGA COME OUT IN THIS SOMEWHERE AND MAKE SESSHOMARU LET KAGOME WEAR SOME LESS UNCOMFORTABLE CLOTHES. MAKE KAGOME PREGNANT AGAIN AND DON'T MAKE KAGOME GET BACK TO THE REAL WORLD WITHOUT MAKEING HER MATE WITH FLUFFY(AKA: SESSHOMARU)

YOU'RE AN AWESOME AUTHOR"

This was sent to me by Saphire-sama/Dreamer. WOW! I couldn't believe it! But, to acknowledge the ideas you sent, I want to say this: I'm not very good at writing the whole "Lemon/Lime" thing, but I must tell you, I have a part somewhat like that already written out. (Ask Valkyrie, that's the part she keeps bugging me about in the reviews she sends me!) It's not a hot spring, but its pretty good, I think! Kagome is already starting to believe that everything that happened with her and Inu-Yasha was part of some evil spell to make her fear her husband and everything associated with him. Kouga is already in my fic, but respects Sesshoumaru's claim on her. The clothes that Kagome wears are very comfortable (when she puts them on herself), and Kagome never stopped being pregnant. Remember, the Kagome that Sesshy has isn't his wife, it's our beloved hanyou's "Shard-detector" (yeah, like that's the whole story! 0_~)! Inu-Yasha,(the one who in the last chapter, brought Kagome to Kaede) is the one who has Sessy's wife.

(Is that like too much info? Am I giving away spoilers? Ah well...don't worry, the way it plays out and their reactions are enough to make it really surprising!) Remember, I have this fic almost all the way finished, I just type one or two chapters of it on the computer a day to torture all you peeps!) P.S. Thank you so much for thinking that I am a good writer! I hope people think the same when my novels are published! (Hey, all you peeps can say that you were the first to read my work!)

I would also like to thank whoever "Me.." is. You've reviewed every chapter and I just thought you deserved to be recognized!

Also, I love you Val! But you knew that already.

Damn, that was long...so! On with the Fic!

The Other Side of the Mirror

Chapter 8: Lunch in the Garden

Kagome was crying in her sleep. (Back to Sesshy, he's the one who this fic is mostly about!) It was breaking Sesshoumaru's heart. (u_u) He pulled her close, for the past few days, she had been getting use to her home all over again. She was becoming more and more comfortable as time passed, but she still seemed nervous having so many youkai constantly around her.

"Kagome," he whispered, trying to coax her into consciousness.

She sighed, "What?" She asked softly.

He kissed her neck, "The sun rose long ago. You have to wake."

"No," she yawned and snuggled closer to him. "I want to stay like this, with you."

He smiled and hugged her tighter, "You do, do you? Well, I can't stay. Being a lord is hard."

She wrapped her arms around him, "And if I don't want you to leave...?"

His smile widened, she was starting to act like her old self; laughing, joking, loving..." Then I guess that all of those youkai will have to wait, you are more important than any of them. Just say that you need me here, and I won't move from this spot." (::Kitsune and all fan girls scream: *I* need you, Sesshy! *I* need you! But he doesn't listen...damn::)

"I ne-"

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Jaken banged on the door, interrupting Kagome's request. (Isn't he getting *really* annoying?!) "Sesshoumaru-sama! Kouga- sama of the wolf tribe and Kit-sama of the kitsune tribe are getting very impatient! They've been waiting since dawn!"

Sesshoumaru sighed, "Fine, Jaken, I'm coming." He kissed Kagome. "I'm sorry, but I must go. After you get dressed, go to the garden, I will join you for lunch."

Kagome sighed, "But its cold!" She complained like a little child trying to get her way.

He couldn't argue with her, he breathed in her scent, it drove him crazy! "Meet me in the garden for lunch, and *then* I will warm you up." (::WHOOP WHOOP GO SESSHY!::)

Kagome giggled and wrapped her arms around her husband, "You promise?"

He smiled and let his tail lightly brush up her body, "Of course." He stood to leave, "At lunch," he bent down and kissed her, "my love."

Kagome smiled, "Lunch."

He started to walk away. He reached the door then turned around, "I don't know if I can wait that long..." He used his demon speed and was at her side again before she could blink. He wrapped his arms and tail around her and pulled her close. "Lunch is three hours away." He kissed her, much more deeply this time. "I don't want to wait that long," he whispered, not taking his lips from her's.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Jaken screamed, bursting through the door. "I-uh..." he stammered at eh sight of his lord gently biting his lady's ear. He bowed his head and seemed to find his feet suddenly incredibly interesting. "Uh...Sesshoumaru-sama...Lords Kouga and Kit are waiting."

Sesshoumaru growled softy, "I'm coming, Jaken!" (Sure you were! ^-^) He kissed Kagome again, "At lunch."

Kagome smiled and nodded, "In the garden. Wait! How will I know where to meet you?!"

He smiled, "I'll find you." He growled, but this time it sounded more, well, sexual. "I will." He started to walk to the door, "Come, Jaken."

"Hai! Sesshoumaru-sama!" The little demon followed his master.
Three hours later, Kagome walked through the beautiful garden. It had taken her a few tries, but she was finally able to get dressed in that silk kimono and the strong metal armor. It was much more comfortable when she was able to put it on herself. (I told you, didn't I?) When Sesshoumaru had dressed her it was just far too tight!

She started to hum, for lack of anything else to really do. Where was that demon lord?!

"Kagome-sama?" A demon called.

She turned, she didn't have anything else to do, she could talk until Sesshoumaru came. "Yes?"

"Milady," a fairly handsome demon male walked up to her, two others followed closely behind. "Lord Sesshoumaru wished us to retrieve you. He can not meet you here for lunch, he wanted it to be someplace special."

Kagome smiled, her mind flashed with all of the things that Sesshoumaru might have "planed".

"This way," he said and led her away from the garden.
Sesshoumaru cursed those two lords, he was late! He rushed into the garden carrying the small bundle that was their lunch. He had had Jaken preparing it since he left Kagome three hours ago.

He paused and took a deep whiff of the air. Kagome had been here only minutes before. He let her scent tease him for a moment before he picked up three different scents...male demons...he growled, they had Naraku's stench all over them.

'I just found her again!' He thought angrily, 'I will not let anyone take her from me again!' He ran as quickly as he could, to catch up.
Kagome tried to scream, but a clawed hand quickly covered her mouth. 'Sesshoumaru,' she mentally begged, 'help me, please, help me! Don't let them hurt me!'

"Wench!" The demon with his hand clamped over her mouth warned, "If you scream, I promise, this will be slow and agonizing."

She nodded her understanding. But as soon as the hand moved away, she screamed as loud as she could, "Sesshoumaru!!!!!!!"
The demon in question heard his wife's pained scream. He didn't smell blood yet, but the terrible feeling in his stomach was telling him that it wasn't far away. 'No! Please, no! Don't let her be injured! Don't let them hurt her!'
The back of the demons hand slammed against her face. A tiny trickle of blood ran down the corner or her mouth where his long pointed claws had sliced open her flesh. "Silence, wench!" He grabbed her by the shoulder and slammed her into the brick fence that was the garden wall.

"Let me go!" Kagome cried, trying to squirm out of his grasp.

The demon pressed his body against hers. "That weak 'lord' needs to be taught a lesion. Let him see how powerless he is to stop me...from taking what I want of you?"

"uh...Neko?..." the two demons backed into the wall, fear clearly in their eyes.

"What?!" He asked annoyed that he was being delayed.

"Release my mate." The cool, calm, collected voice of Sesshoumaru stated very bluntly.

Neko's eyes widened in fear, he pulled his hands away from Kagome and moved back, so that she fell to the ground.

"Get out of my home," the lord spat, his anger finally surfacing.

The demons didn't have to be told twice; they fled the scene faster then the wind.

Once he was sure that the intruders were a safe distance away, Sesshoumaru knelt before his mate, "Kagome...." he put his hand on her cheek.

She rushed into his arms, burring her face in his chest. "They were-they wanted," she cried, unable to find the words.

He put his arms around her. "They're gone. You're safe. I have you. They can't hurt you now, I have you."

She relaxed slightly, "Why did they want to hurt me?!"

Sesshoumaru didn't have an answer. Those three want to hurt her because she was close to him, no, because she was more than close to him. Demons wanted to hurt her because of him. Even Inu-Yasha wanted revenge on his older brother, for letting his mother die. Inu-Yasha seemed to forget that she had also been his stepmother as well. He didn't remember his own mother and even though he had been at least three times her age, he thought of her as a mother as well. "It's all right. Please, don't cry. I have you, there is no need to cry."

Slowly she dried her tears, "This isn't like me. I usually don't act like this."

"I understand, why don't we eat, that will make you feel better. Jaken slaved in the kitchens for three hours. The least we could do is eat it."

She smiled, "I guess I am a little hungry."

A/N: ::Pants and looks really relieved:: Whew! I got that chapter done! I know that Inu-Yasha isn't in it very much, but this story is mostly Sess/Kag. But it is also slightly Inu/Kag. I promise that there will be more Inu/Kag in the future, but later. Right now what needs to be shown is Sesshy's new personality. The mirror Inu-Yasha will also come in soon. He is really mean and I don't know if I should make the rating go up...e-mail me if you don't mind spoilers and I will send u the part about well, yeah, and tell me if I should: a)up the rating, b)tone it down, or c)just leave it the way it is. No Val, you can't. and that part you want is only two or three chapters away, depending on how mean I feel like being.

Well! Review people! Bowdees!
