Review Responses: Hope everyone is enjoying this story, read and review to give me input. Any flames will be used to fuel the fire I'm going to torture Jaken with, don't worry; Sesshomaru gave me permission to torture the little toad. O_~
chrisy12: glad you liked the chapter
aznchicki: yeah, I was going for the Kawaii effect.
Kagome lover 2009: Don't worry, here's a new chapter. And the whole story will be at least sixteen chapters, maybe more.
Mily: well, you got to remember that Kagome is in heat at this point, so Inuyasha's instincts are having a big influence on him. Besides, he's always liked her but not admitted it.
me149: thank you for the compliment! Glad you like my work.
Story Weaver1: Thank you for your constant reviews, and I'm glad you liked the humor from the last chapter.

Mirouku and Sango were awakened by Shippo's cry of "Oka! Otou! You're back!" and saw Kagome and Inuyasha walking out of the forest. Inuyasha had his arm around Kagome, who seemed to shine with happiness and a new sense of life. As the two hanyou sat down with Kagome holding Shippo, Mirouku grinned at Inuyasha saying, "So, were the two voices howling last night you two?" Kagome blushed and murmured "Yeah," while Inuyasha just smirked at Mirouku. "I don't see why that's any of your business bouzo," he replied. "So you two are mates now?" asked Sango. At Inuyasha's happy nod, Sango ran up to Kagome and hugged her friend. "I'm happy for you Kagome, and if you do anything to hurt her Inuyasha, I'll hunt you down and make you wish you had never been born." Inuyasha gulped and sweat dropped.
"Kagome, did you get bit by something?" asked Shippo, pointing to a small set of marks that looked like fang puncture wounds. Inuyasha ducked his head down and muttered, "Yeah, me, it is part of the mating ritual for dog and wolf youkai. The bite mark shows that you're someone's mate and theirs alone." Kagome snuggled up to her mate at this, her ears twitching in his direction and prompting him to scratch them and make her emit her growl purr. Sango smiled at the two hanyous and then asked, "So what do we do now? Naraku is dead, we have all the jewel shards, and unless Sesshomaru comes after the Tetsusaiga, I don't know of any other demons that would bother us except to get the jewel."
Kagome glanced at Inuyasha and Shippo, then turned her attention back to Sango. "I think that we'll be staying near Kaede's village so I can visit my family through the well. And we also have to go and explain to them what happened to me and about our being mates." Inuyasha then spoke up, "I plan to build a house for us in the forest so we'll have some privacy, shelter, and a place to raise any pups besides Shippo we might have," he said with a faint blush. Kagome hugged her mate with a huge smile on her face saying, "And I want to get married with my family present in the human custom." Inuyasha grinned and nuzzled her neck, "Anything for my mate," he said as he kissed her.
A sudden scent coming on the breeze made Inuyasha shift his attention away from Kagome and focus his nose on the familiar scent, one he hated and with good reason. ::Speak of the devil and he appears.:: thought Inuyasha as a low growl came from his throat. Shippo suddenly stiffened and turned to Inuyasha. "I know Shippo, I smell him to," growled Inuyasha. Kagome sniffed the breeze, trying to figure out what was bothering her mate and pup. ::Hmm, I smell something that smells like Inuyasha... dang it that must be Sesshomaru!:: "Inuyasha, is that Sesshomaru I smell?" she asked worriedly. Inuyasha nodded, standing up and unsheathing the Tetsusaiga. A few seconds later, Sesshomaru appeared with his two headed dragon with Jaken and Rin riding on its back. Sesshomaru landed lightly on the ground and glanced at the group, his eyes suddenly locking on Kagome as a puzzled expression appeared on his face. "Tell me, little brother, how did the miko become a dirty half-breed like you?" he asked with a slight smirk. "Why should I tell you Sesshomaru, since you just insulted by mate?" growled Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru suddenly darted towards the group behind Inuyasha, and before anyone could react, he had grabbed Kagome and put some distance between himself and Inuyasha. Kagome was so surprised that she dropped her bow and arrows. Sesshomaru was holding Kagome in front of him as a shield, so Inuyasha knew he couldn't use the Kaze no Kizu or Bakuryuuha without possibly killing Kagome. "Damn you bastard, hiding behind my mate like a coward, you're worse than Naraku!" spat Inuyasha. "Maybe little brother, but now you have a choice. hand over Tetsusaiga or we'll see how my poison affects her," replied Sesshomaru as his claws started to glow a slight green. Sesshomaru was concentrating on Inuyasha so much, he didn't smell or hear Shippo sneaking up on him. A sudden burst of blue fox fire in his face was followed by a cry of, "Leave my Oka-san alone you big bully!" from Shippo as he launched himself at the inu-youkai. Shippo managed to scratch Sesshomaru once, but then he was grabbed by an ogre's arm that Sesshomaru had apparently attacked to replace his missing arm. Sesshomaru slammed Shippo into the ground and then used his foot grind the little kitsune into the earth. And that was his big mistake.
Upon hearing Shippo's howls of pain, Kagome's eyes flashed red. Her claws suddenly dug into Sesshomaru's arm and she roared out "DON'T...YOU...DARE...HURT...MY...PUP!" as she flipped Sesshomaru over her shoulder and into the ground. The inu-youkai was so surprised at Kagome's move that he couldn't react quickly enough and Kagome leaped into the air and did a diving kick into his groin. As the intense pain caused him to roll over onto his stomach, Kagome ripped of his ogre arm and then grabbed his normal one and by kneeling on his back, got him in a submission hold that he was surprised he couldn't break out of. Jaken meanwhile, was gaping in surprise at her speed and moves. He then yelled, "Wench, how dare you lay a hand on Lord Sesshomaru!" The disgusting little toad youkai then raised his staff to send flames at Kagome, only to find himself surrounded by Inuyasha, Sango, and Mirouku. All three of them attacked at the same time and Jaken was quickly knocked out and left hanging from a tree branch courtesy of some rope Kagome had packed in her back pack. Inuyasha quickly ran over to Kagome, his eyes widening as he realized she wasn't full youkai like he thought, just very, very ticked off. Shaking his head at his brother's stupidity, he bent down to look Sesshomaru in the face with a huge grin as he said, "You should no better than to mess with a female's pup when she is in heat. Now give me your word as Lord of the Western lands that you will no longer try to take the Tetsusaiga or kill me."
Before Sesshomaru could reply, the sound of laughter reached everyone's ears, and looking in the direction of the noise, they saw Shippo and Rin playing 'Whack Jaken with his own staff' Jaken was understandably not enjoying this game. "Lord Sesshomaru! Please help me my lord!" he cried with tears running from his eyes and many bumps on his head. Rin scowled at the little toad demon saying, "You deserve it Jaken-sama, you called Shippo-chan a dirty mutt! You shouldn't insult Rin-chan's friends!" The little girl and kitsune had met by accident and become fast friends a month ago when they had gotten separated from their different companions and met in a field where they played together all day before Sesshomaru and Inuyasha found them. The two brothers had agreed to a truce for the evening and taken the children back to their groups. Now the two children were having fun playing together and tormenting Jaken. Sesshomaru couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the indignant Rin with her hands on her hips lecturing his servant. Inuyasha was grinning to and Kagome had a low growl coming from her to indicate her happiness. Sesshomaru looked at Kagome and stated, "This Sesshomaru agrees with you Inuyasha. This Sesshomaru will leave you in peace but requests that he can visit you peacefully so Rin can play with that kit." Kagome smiled at the look of surprise on her mate's face at this statement and allowed the youkai lord to return to his feet. Sesshomaru bowed to Kagome saying, "You are a worthy opponent and worthy of this Sesshomaru's respect."
