Otherside Chapter 14

Sesshomaru and Kagome stood in front of a large beautiful shrine encircled in silver.

Kagome didn't know exactly why they were there, but she didn't care. Whoever lived in this beautiful home was obviously someone of great importance.

Though the warring states era was one in which the land had not yet been modernized, it was still beautiful. There were trees, flowers and plant life everywhere. But it paled in comparison to the magnificence of the land in front of Kagome. She could only stare at it in awe.

Sesshomaru chuckled lightly at the look on the face of his beloved Kagome.

"What are you laughing at?" Kagome asked him, mocking anger. "Laugh all you want, but whoever owns this is probably among one of the most important and regal people in Japan!" she added.

Sesshomaru, once again could suppress his laughter no longer.

"You are most definitely right, Kagome," he chuckled.

Kagome didn't know what was so funny, but were it not for her exhaustion from the past ordeal; she might have been a little keener on her surroundings.

When Sesshomaru's laughter finally subsided, he stepped forward and raised his hand.

Immediately, the main doors to the building opened, and a giddy Rin ran out towards them.

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome who was now laughing much in the same way he had, partly out of awe, the other out of embarrassment.

"I guess this important man also has companions who look just like Rin?" he jested.

Kagome gave him a nudge with her elbow and marched to the doors to meet up with Rin.

"Master Sesshomaru! Lady Kagome! You're okay!" Rin squealed with delight.

On cue, Jaken came racing down the hallway to the elaborate living room where his master and Lady Kagome were standing.

"Thank all! Both of you are safe! Not that I thought anything otherwise, Lord Sesshomaru…" Jaken commented.

Sesshomaru bent down to the level of his two companions. He had never been one to freely admit that he cared for other people, but now things were a little different. Sesshomaru wrapped his good arm around the two of them and gave them a tight squeeze. Even Kagome stood there in awe.

"I would like to speak to the two of you, alone."

Rin and Jaken both walked outside with him, out of earshot of Lady Kagome. Sesshomaru had never been one to keep secrets from Kagome, so either something strange had happened while he had left, or he was planning something.

"I am glad you are both well," he confided, "Kagome and I are fine. I have only one request of you two."

Jaken and Rin looked at him curiously, not sure of what to expect.

"Go find Lady Kagome's companions. Bring the monk, the demon slayer, the young fox demon, and whoever else is often at her side."

"But Mast-"

"I have arrangements to be made, and there is no time for questions. Go now," Sesshomaru commanded.

Without a second glance the two small beings took off in search of Kagome's friends.

Sesshomaru smiled inwardly as he walked back inside.

Kagome stood in the center of the large living room, staring at the intricate paintings on the walls and ceiling.

It pleased Sesshomaru to see her so happy with his living accommodations.

"Would you like a tour, my Lady?" he asked nobly.

Kagome took his hand wordlessly as he led her forward through the spacious home.

It was not unlike a modern home, in many ways. Except for the absence of technology such as computers, televisions and appliances, you would think it was a modern day mansion.

"This is where we will eat dinner, this is my study (Let's just assume they had something similar) and this…" he trailed off as they reached the massive master bedroom.

Kagome's eyes lit up as she took it in. There was a chandelier made of carved glass lit by some sort of unexplained power, a large rug made of the hide of a striped animal, and a mammoth sized bed. It was perfect.

"…is where I sleep when necessary."

Kagome faced him and placed a hand on his smooth timeless face. Sometimes she had to pinch herself to make sure that she wasn't dreaming.

"But, do not think I will let you off that easily, Kagome. You and I have unfinished business…"

Before Kagome could object (as if she would!), Sesshomaru embraced her and kissed her deeply, exploring her mouth with his, taking every part of her as his own possession. Kagome responded eagerly, unable to suppress the passion she had contained in her heart for so long.

Though Kagome was a young woman, she was not uneducated in the art of love. She had had boyfriends before, none of which she had ever loved or made love to, but she knew enough about what men liked to please them. But did she know what demons liked?

Sesshomaru gently laid Kagome down upon the bed removing articles of clothing from her, then himself, until there was nothing holding them back from each other.

Kagome could hardly contain her joy at having the sheer feeling of his skin on hers. Sesshomaru pushed himself up with his good arm and looked down at the beautiful woman beneath him. His eyes traced every curve and outline of her body, finally concentrating on her blue eyes, twinkling lovingly up at him.

"If we do this, Kagome, there is no turning back. I will be next to your side forever, and you will be with me as well. Are you sure?" he asked seriously.

Kagome pulled him to her and whispered into his ear, "This is the only thing I am sure of."

She kissed him again and he held her tightly, whispering in her ear, "Tomorrow I make you my queen."

"I would be anything if it meant being with you."

Sesshomaru smiled and they remained together all through the night, exploring each other and finally falling into a deep sleep.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The first rays of morning came through the cracks between the curtains, tickling Kagome's senses. Her eyes fluttered open and a smile crossed her face as she relived

the previous night's events. She sat up and stretched her arms, taking in the feeling of being a woman in love. She turned to kiss Sesshomaru, but he wasn't there.

Kagome jumped out of bed and wrapped the smooth sheets around her nude body. It wasn't like him to disappear on her. She smoothed her long black hair (which was almost to her waist at this point) with her hand and took off down the hall searching for Sesshomaru, hoping he was alright.

"Sesshomaru! Rin?! Jaken?!" she shouted worriedly, not knowing what was going on.

When she reached the living room she got her answer.

As Kagome stood there covered with nothing more than a steel blue colored sheet, looking like a wild animal, all of her friends, including Kaede, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, Rin, Jaken, among others, and of course, Sesshomaru, stood there dressed in formal clothing, staring at her.

"Good morning, Kagome," said Sesshomaru, dressed in formal royal attire, smirking at her.

Kagome could only pray that her sheet didn't fall off of her. It was like one of those nightmares she had about going to school in her underwear, but worse. From the looks of it, she had showed up at a wedding.

"This is my future bride, and queen, Kagome everyone," Sesshomaru continued, undaunted by her attempts to solicit his attention.

The laughter that immediately proceeded was so loud, it echoed down the halls of the manor, making the walls shake.

"Sango, promise me you'll dress like that on our wedding day?" Miroku asked Sango, earning a good smack.

"Wedding?" thought Kagome.

"I have laid out a proper gown for you in your dressing room, Kagome. Here is the key to the room. Perhaps you should dress," Sesshomaru grinned.

Kagome snatched the key out of his hand and marched down the hall, angrily.

"Maybe it would have helped if instead of saying 'tomorrow I make you my queen', he would have said 'lets get married tomorrow!'" she huffed.

Nevertheless, an hour later, Kagome and Sesshomaru were exchanging vows in front of all their friends. Two hours after that, they were on the back of Sesshomaru's dragon steed, on their way to the coast for their honeymoon.

The wind rushed through Kagome's hair, and she wrapped her arms tightly around Sesshomaru's waist as they traveled through the air of the moonlit night.

"Sesshomaru?"

"Yes, Kagome?"

"What if I get pregnant on our honeymoon?"

"Then we'll be blessed with a child. Is that a problem?" he asked nonchalantly.

"No, not to me. I would be happier than you could imagine!"

"And a perfect mother," Sesshomaru added.

"It's not that," said Kagome.

Sesshomaru looked at her with a raised eyebrow. She obviously had something important on her mind.

"What is it, my love?"

"You do understand that our child would be half human?"

Sesshomaru paused for a moment as though in deep thought. Kagome bit her lip, worried that he had never thought about it.

"As far as I'm concerned, the more he or she has of you, the more pure the child will be. Our children will be powerful, Kagome, more powerful than you or I could ever imagine, and I will love them as much as I love you."

Kagome let out the breath she was holding, obviously pleased that Sesshomaru would be a good father.

"Sesshomaru?"

"Yes," he asked wearily.

"Um, there's one more thing…"

"Yes…"

"I need you to go to the future with me."

Sesshomaru turned towards her again, this time absolutely baffled.

"Anything you want Kagome," he soothed.

Kagome smiled brightly.

"Good, you can meet my mom, and tell her that we're married and that I'm a queen now and that I might be pregnant!" she exclaimed.

Sesshomaru held his face in his hand. This was going to be an interesting ride…..
