chapter: II

Inspired by multiple music. Mostly American.

They stood in the same embrace for some time, probably five minutes. When they parted, Kagome almost whimpered at the loss of his warmth. Body heat has that toll on you after a while. They sat under a random yet large tree and looked at the stars, leaning against one-another.

Kaogmes eyes had this twinkle in it but her face was set impassive, almost like statue. Naraku herad her sigh and turned to her. She had her head bent down but it still rested on his shoulder.

"I had missed these moments with you"

"So did i kagome, so did i..."

He turned with a small smile plastered on his face.

"I should go now, Sesshoumaru's gonna try to have my head if i don't get at the palace before dawn."

"Yes, until next time"

She waved and left in a run. When she got at the palace, Sesshoumaru was at the front gate, waiting with his arms crossed over his chest. So, Kagome turned and left towards the gardens and jumped onto the balcony of some random room.

She landed softly and noticed it was Rin's room. She tip-toed out of the room and got face-to-face with the dreaded Taiyoukai of the West. He raised an eyebrow at her but said nothing. She inwardly shrugged and moved around him. He stepped into her way again but still didn't utter a word.

"May you please step away? I would like to sleep now."

She stepped aside again but he moved to block her, again. She smirked and jumped over him in a flash. He grabbed her wrist and yanked her downwards. Kagome held in an eep as she was pulled towards the ground.

"Yous reek of that half breed, Naraku! Where have you been wench?"

She went crashing to the ground loudly and a sickening crack was heard. One of her ribs snapped but she could easily heal in no time at all. Sesshoumaru dumped himself on her, sitting on her stomach, purposesedly pressing into her. She groaned and held fire from her anger in her eyes.

"I have nothing to tell you Sesshoumaru!"

He bent down to her ear and whispered almost seductively.

"I own you, remember Kagome?"

A deep growl could be heard erupting from the female youkai's chest in a ramble of furiousness, like thunder hitting it's target. Sesshoumaru smirked down at her but kept himself firmly in place.

"I am no one's, now GET OFF!"

Her temper was shortening now, it only amused him further more.

"How about no?"

"How about NOW!"

As she emphasised the word 'now', she started struggling underneath the massive muscled weight.

"Haven't you thought this was futile wench? You cannot defeat me, if one failed attempt was made, what makes you think you'll succeed in the next?"

"THIS!"

She pushed upwards with all her might and shot an energy ball at the now flying slightly Sesshoumaru. Parts of his robes disintegrated while he managed to dodge the attack only barely.

Her anger was now showing on all her her face and body language. Her clenched teeth made you think she'd bleed any second from the force. Her claws dug into her palms because of her clenched fists, so tight, her knuckles became white.

A red glowing, yet negative aura lightened to dark hall. The negative energy radiated around her in waves of death promisses. Sesshoumaru could only look on, almost scared but surprised. For a moment, his face showed emotions, shock. His jaw was lightly dropped and his eyes as small as little grains. If he was anyone else, he would have peed in his pants long ago, only IF he was someone else.

Kagome closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. His scent was all over the area, which didn't help in calming her. She decided to go outside and transform so to proceed on more killing and destroying.

Birds started flapping away soundly while other animals and minor demons were seen running away. A giant black dog with fury red eyes clawed at everything in sight. Long, deep gashes were impaled into the earth. Deep growls resounded from farther into the forest. In her transformed state, Kagome was a very tall, black, twin-tailed dog with bright red markings like in her humanoid form and she normally had blue ce caps but this wasn't any normal time.

She squashed a fairly big turtle youkai trying to hurt her while some mole youkai scratched at her paws.

Inside the castle, Sesshoumaru recollected himself from his initial shock and went after her. Her powers intrigued him more then he'd thought possible from a female. He ran outside and transformed into a full youkai himself. Kagome had gone far but you only needed to follow the clawed path along with the brought-down trees to find her.

When he thought he was close enough, he went back to his humanoid state and walked slowly were her sent was the strongest. Sesshoumaru could sense she wasn't into her youkai form anymore but what disturbed him more was the fact he could smell Naraku near as well.

'I thought i told her not to go near that worthless half breed!'

He started running faster and masked his scent so to know what they were talking about.

"I can't believe i've so foolish as to fight that guy in th efirst place! That's leaving the part were i have a big mouth..."

"So now you say he owns you?"

Naraku started laughing whole heartily. Kagome glared at him and smacked him upside the head.

"This is serious you know!"

"I know, but the fact that he owns you is just hilarious!"

"I'm glad you find this funny Naraku!"

He looked at her with smiling eyes and cupped her chin with one hand while the other stroked her hair. Kagome closed her eyes and purred softly.

"I am only laughing at the situation dear."

Naraku slowly leaned in and brushed his lips to hers. Kagome's hands rested on his chest. When he saw that, he chuckled slightly at her and kissed her.

Sesshoumaru smirked and made his presence known to the couple.

"I see now why you decided to see that worthless soul kagome"

Kagome's eyes snapped open and she turned around to meet the Taiyoukai's golden gaze.

'Why didn't i senced him before! Damn, i was so wrapped up into this whole situation i couldn't even feel his soul!'

Naraku stared blankly at Sesshoumaru but held Kagome's waist and brought her closer to his body.

"Naraku is not worthless i'll have you know!"

"I see, then, why did you spare his life when he wouldn't have? What happened when we slayed him at the battlefield?"

"I pittied him. And i used my miko powers to create an illusion"

"So we fought against a puppet that day?"

Sesshoumaru was getting angry now.

"No."

"No?"

"we fought the real but at the finishing blow, i made him disapear and a 'puppet', as you so call it, appeared in his place making everyone think he was killed."

"You didn't pitty him Kagome, you fell in love with your enemy and even now you cannot admit the truth."

"Kagome did not fall in love, my lord, i did"

"Naraku..."

"Keh! Pathetic! But can you explain why she liked it?"

"She needs loving and caring, she loved it because i gave those feelings to her"

"Than is suppose she wanted this ne?"

"Only she knows"

They turned to Kagome and waited until she spoke. It never happened, she merely stood up and walked back to the castle. Sesshoumaru, along with Naraku stared at her retreating back.

"Then i suppose she did"

Naraku said. Sesshoumaru only spared a glance and walked after her. Naraku looked at the both of them and inwardly sighed.

'I suppose i will not be seeing her for some time now...'

Kagome went back into the garden and stared at the moon in Kikyou field. (A/N: Fun fact; Kikyou was named after a japanese flower, nice one indeed, smells really good and i have some at home...go figure...)

She decided to watch the moon for some time before sitting under a sakura tree to rest. Kagome fell asleep not long after sitting down and drifted to a dreamless sleep.

Sesshoumaru watched the female youkai trough his balcony window until she fell asleep. He then went to Rin's room and looked over her as a guardian watcing over it's ward at night. The moon's rays graced his figure like one of an angel as his silver hair shone out in the dimness that was the room's.

Rin rested perfectly safe with Shippou's tail occasionaly making her giggle in her dreams because of tickleish-ness. (sp?) He sighed unlike him and turned towards the exit.

Once in his room, he layed on his bed and stared at the ceiling fof about an an hour and fell asleep. All of the current residents of the manion slept peacefully except for some servants who had some things to do before being alowed rest.

The next morning, Kagome awoke before light, she stretched and yawned then lept into the forest to do some morning hunting. She slayed a squirrel youkai for her breakfast and came back just in time to see Shippou and Rin coming out of the room Sesshoumaru had so 'kindly' provided them the night before.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Kagome-Nee-Chan!"

"Ohayo Rin-Chan!"

"Ohayo Mama! How have you slept? Did you sleep with Sesshoumaru?"

"Sama!"

"Hai, Sesshoumaru-Sama, Rin-chan!"

Shippou said to Rin which had corrected him.

"Iie, i did not share a bed with our Lord last night, i slept under a sakura tree in th egardens."

"He let you sleep out there? With all those youkais?"

Shippou exclamed. Kagome inwardly sighed.

"Iie Shippou-Chan, i slept out there of my own accord, Sesshoumaru has nothing to do with this."

"SA-MA!"

Rin exagerated an exasperated expression (Like little kids do! ) and put her hands to her hips. Sesshoumaru, inwardly amused, watched the kids ramble about the importance of his name while Kagome obviously ignored him and put an almost amused facade for the little ones.

Sesshoumaru, now tired of this, 'ahemed' and stepped closer, he also heard a sigh emmiting from Kagome, obviously an irritated sigh.

He ignored it and waited until he felt a child's pair of arm clamp tightly around his leg.

"SESSHOUMARU-SAMA!!!"

Rin screamed, then, rambled about everything that had happened here, not forgetting to add Shippou's interraction with her. He told her to take Shippou to the dinning area and eat their breakfast since he had things to clear out. (I guess that hinted Kagome right?)

Kagome glared at the Taiyoukai's back while he walked her to his study.

"Why did you not sleep in my chamber last night?"

"There was a certain problem"

"And what might that be?"

Sesshoumaru raised a perfect eyebrow (I think everything's perfect about him personally...) Kagome heavily sighed and sat in a chair. Sesshoumaru took place in front of her and waited still for her answer but all she did was glare at him.

"Answer my question wench!"

She glared at him more and clenched her fists.

"It is very obvious, my Lord!"

She sacastically said. Sesshoumaru stood in a fash and went to catch her throat but she held his wrist in mid-air. In a flash, Kagome kicked at his side but he dodged and backed away.

"Why can you not at least have respect, woman?"

"Because you do not respect me!"

"I have no need to respect lower beings!"

"And now you think have a lower status than you! This is great, all mighty is so full of of himself!"

At this, Sesshoumaru charged at Kagome and pinned her to the floor with him on top of her and her hands above her head.

"You will not adress me in such a way!"

"Maybe if you were not such a cold ass i would be nicer!!"

They were having a glaring contest until Shippou came in and gasped.

"MOMMA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HER?!"

"Shippou, this is not the time!"

"But...

"I am fine! Now go play with Rin." (Childs are so cute sometimes...)

Kagome got up from under Sesshoumaru but heard a growl emmet from his throat. She looked up and saw deep crimson eyes staring right down at her. In a flash, Kagome was standing on her feet in a battle stance.

Sesshoumaru got up slowly and seemly, was trying to win back in counciousness.

'So he's fighting his inner demon now is he?'

Kagome smirked.

'I am going to have much fun today, first, the chase!'

She ran to the double doors that brought to the balcony and dove down. It was about three stories high. As planned, Sesshoumaru eagerly ran after her, just like a little boy chasing his favorite toy.

She heard a playful growl and turned around to see the complete red-eyed youkai following her. She sped up a knotch and found herself at a cliff where the other end was about ten meters away. So, Kagome sped up more and jumped. She would've got there only if she had jumped an inch or two more, but since she had good reflexes, she managed to catch the edge.

Sesshoumaru, well, Sesshoumaru cheated, he flew there.

'He's just no game...'

She flung herself upwards and landed behind him.

'This Sesshoumaru will not let a female out run him!'

He raced towards the speeding miko-youkai and reached out for her clothing to grab a hold of her. She saw it coming damn him to hell and spun around to punch him in the stomac.

He caught her wrist and flung her to the ground on her back. Kagome kicked his legs from beneath him and jumped upwards. Sesshoumaru tried to do the same but failed since she decided to jump away and started running.

'This is getting exciting. But i wonder where she wants to take me...'

At a clearing, Kagome abruptly stopped and drew her sword. With a smirk firmly plastered on her face, she faced the great Taiyoukai of the Western lands.

He took the hint and drew his own sword. He slashed at her and she blocked. She tried to hit towards his ribs but he stepped to the side.

'This is going to be fun! He's a tough one'

A sadistic smile appeared on her face and her eyes took on a bright red color that even engulfed the irises. Her speed increased as she lounched another attack at him. She slashed his stomach open while he created a gash on her arm.

"So the Shan Zetsumei can really fight? Is she a war addict as the rumors says?"

"You can bet your damn life on it!"

She made a cut on his cheek and he got her side. Sesshoumaru disapeared and appeared behind her, cut he kimono as she stepped away.

They kept fighting a bloodied fight until merely pieces of robes were left and the ground was tainted a crimson colour. Kagome was on her knees with the red fading from her eyes and her counsiousness failing her. Sesshoumaru had his back on a tree and his legs lightly bent showing he was blacking out.

Both were full of blood but both were trying their best to stay councious. Sesshoumaru suddenly fell with a thud while Kagome let out a victorial sigh and fell out herself.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly on the now recovered figures waking up. Kagome gasped aloud from her state of undress while Sesshoumaru, as a man, only smirk at the satisfying sight before him.

'I may have lost but the prize is sweet.'

Kagome, who heard his thoughts, grumbled and left in a hurry, flying.

Upon arrival, worried children had slept in Sesshoumaru's room. Shippou's motive was because Kagome was 'supposed' to sleep there and Rin's was, well we already know what her motive was anyway...

The two were on the bed holding eachother and it seemed that they had cried themselves to sleep. Kagome's stomac lurched at the sight of the two children she had grown attached to.

Kotarou nudged his head on her ankle in a way to say hi and purred when she reached down and pat him. Kotarou jumped on her shoulder and licked her cheek.

Kagome went to the bed and took both children in her arms and layed there, wrapped with the both of them like a mother would. Kotarou came and layed in a ball at Kagome's neck.

That, was the sight that embraced Sesshoumaru when he entered the room from the double doors from the balcony. Kagome was sleeping peacefully in his own bed with Rin and Shippou in her arms and Kotarou on her neck, he, which was lightly growling in warning to Sesshoumaru.

Kotarou had one eye open and his growl was intensifying with each steps that Sesshoumaru took towards his mistress. A reasuring hand stroke his furr and he started purring madly.

"Please do not make my pup nervous."

"It is not my fault you are sleeping in my bed with my ward in your arms"

"I am in no mood to quarrel with you right now, i wish to sleep"

"I wanted to sleep as well but some woman has taken my place in my bed."

"There is still room"

"That was what i had thought."

With that, Sesshoumaru stepped closer to the bed and layed down next to Kagome. Then, Rin half woke and inched to him and snuggled to his chest. With a contented purr, Sesshoumaru was asleep.

'I suppose he loves her then...fatherly love.'

Kagome fell into slumber after that thought and regained her energy for there would be alot to come. (And i don't mean good things...)

The next day, Kagome woke to find none of ehr pups were in her arms, she turned around and saw an unimaginable sight.
