Sesshoumaru's Castle
FlashBack of Morning Events
Sesshoumaru had woke up feeling a warm body laying close to him and he looked down to see a head of black hair draped over his arm. He looked and blinked his eyes so it would register in his mind of what happened early that morning and that it t'was not a dream. With that he pushed, the silk blankets back and saw that Kagome had her legs intertwined with his and that there was long strands of black draped over his waist. He looked at it and followed it up and saw it was connected to the back of the miko's head. With a cunning smile, he gently moved the long black hair and untangled his legs from hers and slide off the futon and gracefully walked to were his inner haori and hakams was thrown and put them on and then on silent feet he walked over and picked up his swords and quietly left his father's old chamber to go to his. On his way he told a servant to follow him and they walked into a chamber that was across from his father's old chamber and over to a closet and opened it. He looked through the kimono's and pulled a pink kimono out that had peacock's and roses on it and a dark pink obi. Then turned and handing them to the servant "Go wake up the miko, get her dressed and bring her to the dining hall." Then he walked out into the hallway and waited for the servant then closed the door and went to his own chamber to change.
End of FlashBack
The servant entered the chamber and walked over to the foot of the futon and laid the kimono and obi down then walked to the head of it and reached out and touched Kagome's arm and shook her. "My lady, it's time to wake up! My Lady!" The servant said shaking Kagome.
"Yawning, Yes, what is it?" Kagome yawned turning onto her back. The servant's eye's widened at the shocking sight of the mark on the woman's neck. She bowed down to Kagome.
"Pardon me, my lady, but the lord wanted me to get you up and dressed and down to the dining hall." The servant stood up from bowing.
"Oh, alright." She placed her hands on the futon not seeing the black next to her and pushed down with her hands and went to scoot up when a pain shot through her head "Ouch! What the?" She pushed back the blankets and looked down to see long strands of black and picked up a piece and pulled it "Ouch that hurt!" She stood up and the black flowed down and rested just past her knee's. She screamed "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!" The sound of her voice carried through out the castle and reached the ears of Sesshoumaru. He squinted his eyes as the scream hit his ears and chuckled to himself and said "She must of noticed something!"
Back in the chamber looking at what was her hair then noticed she was standing there nude and covered herself with her arms.
"Come, my lady!" The servant went and picked up the kimono and walked over and held out the kimono.
"Please, would you call me Kagome and not my lady." Kagome told the servant.
"I can not, my lady for you are the mate of the lord of this castle!" The servant said as she helped with the kimono and put the obi on. Then brushed her long black hair. "Now come, we go to the dining hall." They walked out of the chamber and headed to the stairs and the two guards slightly bowed to her as she passed. When they got to the main level and over to the dining room the servant opened the door and announced "My lord, here is lady Kagome." The servant bowed then moved to the side to allow Kagome to walk in. When Kagome walked in Sesshoumaru's eyes widened at the magnificent sight that stood there by the door. He arose from sitting on a cushion of silk at the head of the long table and walked towards the door she stood at and took her arm and walked back towards the table and had her sit on his left. He heard the servants take in a shocked breath. Then summoned for Jaken to come into the room. After a few minutes, the imp came in and gawked at the sight of a woman sitting to his left. Before noticing that it was Inuyasha's wench.
"Why are you once again in that spot, you filthy wench?" Jaken yelled at Kagome. Sesshoumaru bolted to his feet in a flash.
"You dare to raise your voice at my mate and the Lady of the western lands! Take a good look at your mistress and tell this Sesshoumaru what you see!" He glared at Jaken. Rin stood up and ran around the table to Kagome and giggled.
"Kagome-chan has longer hair." She wrapped her arms around Kagome's neck to give her a hug and felt something rough and moved the kimono away from her neck on the left side facing Jaken "Kagome-chan, what happened to your neck? You look like you've been bit!" Rin said.
"Rin, if your done eating then go play in the gardens with Ah-Un until Jaken comes out there." Sesshoumaru told Rin.
"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin hugged Kagome. "Could Kagome-chan come to?" She asked.
"No, she and I will be traveling today. Now go play." He said. When she was gone Sesshoumaru looked at Jaken. "Jaken, you are to say nothing of this matter to anyone. Everything will be announced soon!" He stood and helped Kagome to stand "Come, we leave!" They walked out of the dining hall and over to the main door that lead out once in the courtyard he formed the cloud under their feet and lifted into the air as he masked their scents and flew towards the bone-eater's well.
"Sesshoumaru, tell me are there anymore surprises that I need to know about?" She asked.
"All will be told when we get to your family!" He said as he looked down at her and saw streaks that had formed in her hair that were the color of his strips on his wrists and cheeks. As they neared the well Sesshoumaru used his senses to check if anyone was close by. Sensing nothing they landed by the well.
"Sessho, I'm not sure if this will even work! The only ones who I know can go through this well are myself and Inuyasha. But before we try I want you to promise not to kill anyone in my era alright!" She looked up at him in the eyes and asked. Seeing him nod she smiled. "We need to jump into the well but when we do you must keep ahold of me!" When she finished he picked her up in his arms and jumped into the well. When the touched bottom she looked up to see a roof over head. "Well we made it now we need to get out of the well. Without a word he leapt out of the well and landed by the door. "Please put me down." He did and she peered out the door to check if anyone was around. Seeing no one she opened the door and they walked out and shut the door. Getting to the house she opened the door and walked in and called out "Mom, Souta, Grandpa, I'm home!"
"I'm on the phone, dear, I'll be right there!" Her mother said.
"Sis, is that really you! Mother, Grandpa, come quick, you've got to see this!" Souta yelled. Which hurt her ears and she heard a growl behind her.
"Ah, Souta could you not yell so loud please!" Kagome asked.
"Sorry, Sis." Souta said.
"What's wrong, Souta? Where did your sister go and who are these two?" The mother said.
I'm sorry, if your looking for my daughter she is not here right now!" Her mother said. Before Kagome could say anything her grandfather came in.
"What's all the ruckus going on out here?" Her grandfather said then looked at Kagome and Sesshoumaru and his eyes got wide. "Leave here, you demons!" He pulled out some fake sutra's.
"Grandpa, relax and you know those sutra's don't work. If they did not work when Inuyasha came through the well and he's a hanyou do you really think they would work on a full blooded youkai?" Kagome said.
"Kagome! My little girl what happened to you? When did you dye your hair with magenta streaks and where did you get those tattoos?" Her mother asked.
"What do you mean about streaks and tattoos?" Kagome asked.
"Mother of miko Kagome! It would be best if I told about the changes. You all might need to sit down to best hear this." Sesshoumaru stated.
"Oh Mom, Souta, Grandpa! This is Sesshoumaru, he is a full blooded Inu-youkai and is lord of the western lands. He's also Inuyasha's eldest brother. Oh sorry half brother." Kagome said. Her grandfather ran into the living room with wide eyes.
"Sis, you mean instead of you bringing Inuyasha back home, you bring the guy that you'd told us that tried killing you in some tomb as well as a few other times! Don't you think that's not thinking to well!" Souta said.
"Souta, go into the family room with your grandfather and we'll be in there in a few." Their mother said.
"Sure." Souta turned around and walked towards the family room and they heard him mumbling as he went "She brings home a youkai that tried to kill her and not Inuyasha! What is she thinking?"
"Come dear, bring your guest and let's go into the family room and talk shall we." Her mother said then turned and walked to the family room with Kagome and Sesshoumaru following behind her. When they came into the family room her grandfather was holding a book flipping through the pages. Sesshoumaru sat down by the shoji screen door and Kagome sat by him. "Kagome, why have you been gone so long?" Her mother asked.
"Well you see, mom." She took a deep breath. "Several weeks ago the group and I were traveling north. While traveling Inuyasha's lover showed up and he had her join the group. Everyone knew it was a trap but he would not listen. Well, we camped this one night and while everyone slept, I went to get wood and Sesshoumaru here who had stopped by with his ward, Rin. Well anyway, I went into the woods to get more wood to start the morning meal and Sesshoumaru followed. We ended up talking which he does not do much with humans. Then it, ended up that we kissed. To make a long story short the next morning after Sesshomaru and Rin left we continued on. Inuyasha's lover made it were he could smell his brother's scent. Oh pardon me, half brother and told him we were kissing. Later, we stopped to have lunch, Sango, Shippo and I went to a hot spring for a bath. Well, I just got out and had a towel around me when Inuyasha came, picked me up by the throat asking why I attacked his lover, I tried to say I didn't and in rage he throw me into a cliff wall. That's all I remember until I woke up in a very elegant room in Sesshoumaru's castle. Come to find out two of my friends brought me to Sesshoumaru to see if he would heal me with his sword of healing. Which was made from his father's fang. The same as Inuyasha's sword of destruction. I've been at his castle since then. Because I needed time away from Inuyasha and if I came here he would follow and he is basically not allowed at the castle for many reasons that has to do with him and Sesshoumaru." She said.
"How bad were you hurt and why could you not be brought here to be put in the hospital to heal?" Her mother asked.
"I was told that I was bleeding badly inside and had six broken ribs, which should of been more due to the force Inuyasha used to throw me into the cliff and that I had not long to live. The reason, why I was not brought here was because my monk friend put a sutra on Inuyasha and froze him in one spot for several hours. I was unconscious and as far as they knew only myself and Inuyasha were able to go through the well." Kagome answered.
"Mom, look at sis's forehead that was not there when they first arrived here!" Souta pointed. Sesshoumaru turned and reached a clawed hand and put it under Kagome's chin and turned her head so she looked at him and seeing the crescent moon on her forehead a smile showed on his face.
"Would someone tell me what's happening to my daughter and what these tattoos mean? Why are they on her!" Kagome's mother asked.
"Ah, I found what I was looking for! It says here that his father was the lord as well as the Great Dog General of the western lands." Her grandfather said as he walked over and handed the book to Kagome.
"Mother of miko Kagome to answer your questions. The markings that you see upon your daughter signifies that she is the Lady of the western lands. Your daughter's appearance as you can see is changing do to the fact she is no longer human." Sesshoumaru said.
"What does it mean she's the Lady of the western lands and what do you mean she's not human?" Her mother asked. The grandfather sat down with tears in his eyes. The mother looked at her father. "Dad, you know what this means don't you?" Kagome and Souta's mother asked. She watched him shake his head yes. Then watched him stand and walked over to his granddaughter.
"Sometimes when a youkai of nobility takes a mate, they mark them then shares his blood with the mate. Sharing of his blood does not happen all the time. For a human to mate with a youkai and drinks his blood takes on the crest of the house the youkai lord or noble is from and the markings. As well as become a youkai of that of her mate. But some youkai's don't mark and share blood and they stay human and produce hanyou's." Kagome's grandfather reached out and moved the neck of the kimono a little more away from Kagome's neck. Then looked " You and my granddaughter have the mark on your necks. As your mate said by the changes of your body like your stripes, the very long hair and the crescent moon it proves you shared blood meaning you are now miko and youkai and you will have the long life of a youkai." Her grandfather said.
"When does this marking take place and could it be changed?" Her mother asked.
"The marking takes place during mating. In human terms mating means during sex when the male releases his seed inside the female! In which the male sinks his fangs into the neck of his mate. The only ways that I can think of to change it is to either to be purified which ends in death or death." The grandfather said. Souta sitting there red faced.
"Ah, grandfather the part about sex was more than I need to know. I did not need to know that my sister had sex!" He looked over at Kagome who was as red as a beet. "So Inuyasha's mother was a human woman then and did not share blood?" Souta asked.
"Father did mate his mother but did not mark or share blood. Like he did with my mother who was already a full blooded Inu!" Sesshoumaru said. The phone rang at that point and Sesshoumaru jumped to his feet drawing tokijin. Kagome stood up and laid her hand on his sword arm.
"Sesshoumaru, it's alright that's ringing is what is called a telephone. It's used to talk to people without having to be in the same room." Kagome said as it rang again.
"I'll get it!" Souta got up and ran to the phone and picked up the receiver "Hello! No, Kagome can't come to the phone right now. No, she's not feeling well. Here, I'll hand the phone to grandfather and he'll tell you what she has." He covered the receiver with his hand. "Grandpa, it's for Kagome!" Souta said and their grandfather walked over and took the receiver from Souta.
"Hello! No, Eri she can't come to the phone. We just brought her back from the hospital. No nothing to serious. The doctor said she has Canine Tonsillitis, and needs alot of rest. No, coming over would not be good right now. I'll tell her Eri, right! bye." Then her grandfather hung up the receiver then walked back to the family room. "Eri told me to tell you hello and to get well."
"Grandpa, come on there is no such thing as Canine Tonsillitis!" She said.
"Well, you are a youkai, are you not? Your mate is a giant dog demon in his true form, is he not? I just said you could not speak!" He went over and sat down and started reading the book he looked at earlier. Sesshoumaru looked at her funny.
"This Sesshoumaru senses not that you're sick!" Sesshoumaru slide tokijin back on his hip then checked her over.
"It's alright. I've travel from my era to yours and stay away a long time and I miss alot of school so they have to come up with different illnesses for when I'm in your era to say why I'm not at school." She told him. Then she took ahold of his hand and walked to the stairs "Mom, I'm going to show Sesshoumaru the house then I might take a shower. Could someone let us know when dinner is done!" She asked.
"Sure, Kagome, someone will let you know!" Her mother watched them walk up the stairs. Once upstairs she showed Sesshoumaru the main bathroom, then the doors to her mother's room, brother's room and grandfather's room. Then she walked to her room and walked in. Inside the room she walked over and closed the curtains. "Would you like to bathe? I could ah... wash your back for you!" She watched him nod before looking at all the strange things around the room. Before she turned and walked into her bathroom taking the rug from off the bathtub's rail and laid it on the floor. Then turned to the bathtub and bent at the waist and turned on the water then tested it. Sesshoumaru on silent feet walked into the bathroom and saw her bent over and her long hair to the side testing the water and gave a evil grin and walked up behind her and grabbed her by the waist drawing her back until her butt was on his front and felt him slightly hard and poking her on her butt. As his hands slid up and took ahold of her breasts. "Sessho, if you're going to bathe we need to get into the water!" Not letting go of her he raised her to where her back was pressed against his chest.
"Does my mate not desire to mate with this Sesshoumaru?" He whispered in her ear then turned her to face him and he untied the obi and slipped it and her kimono off.
"No. I mean, yess I love to mate with you but we must get the shower done before we ah... S-sesshoo!" Her head tilted back with her eyes closed as he bent down and took her breast into his mouth. He got her worked up then stopped.
"That's a shame for it would of not taken long!" He said as he stepped away to remove his armor and both haori's and hakama's and stood there nude in front of her for a moment then walked to the contraption called a bathtub and stepped in. Once in she closed the shower curtain and turned on the shower. The shower did not take long. She showed him how to turn off the shower and water then she got out and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her then told him there was a towel for him to dry off with on the sink. But before she left the bathroom she picked up his clothes and swords and left and put them on her bed. She heard the water turn off and the curtain open so she unwrapped the towel that was around her and stood by her desk with a book laid open and acted as if she was standing there reading.
"Let's see what, he thinks as he see's me like this!" She chuckled to herself. "Your clothes are in here, Sesshoumaru!" She called as she started moving her hips side to side as swaying to music.
"You little temptress! You dare to try to temp this Sesshoumaru now that you want it!" He came up behind her and let out a slight growl.
"Is that not what the females do in the animal kingdom when they don't want it and when they do they tempt the males?" She was trying to bait him on the question.
"Only if the female is coming into season will she play and tempt the male when she's ready for the male to mount her!" Sesshoumaru answered her as he walked closer to his mate.
"Oh I guess, you don't like when I tempt you then?" She said as she tried to look hurt then tried to move away from him. But heard a growl and was pushed roughly forward to were her upper half was laying on her desk then felt his knee come between her legs to spread them apart. Then something soft but hard at the same time came to rest at the opening of her womanhood.
"I did not indicate this Sesshoumaru did not like your tempting dear mate.This Sesshoumaru will prove to you as you can feel!" He said as he rammed his hips forward pushing in all the way to the hilt burying himself in his mate.
"Mmmm." She moaned as she moved against him. "Sessho, please go faster!" She felt him press down on her hips as his breathing was coming fast and grunting. They did not hear Souta open the door as he saw Sesshoumaru throw his head back opening his mouth as his fangs grew longer then opened his eyes that were now red as he bent forward sinking his fangs into Kagome's left shoulder as his hips stopped rapidly ramming into her and jerked forward a few quick thrusts before he brought his weight down onto Kagome's back panting hard and heavily. Souta carefully walked back out of the room shutting the door then knocked on it.
"Just ah... minute!" She called out as Sesshoumaru pulled both his fangs out of her as well as his still fully erected and full of need erection out and went over and grabbed his clothes and got dressed and Kagome ran to her closet and grabbed a summer dress with spaghetti string straps for the shoulders. "Come in." She called then the door opened and in walked Souta.
"Sis, mother sent me up to tell you dinner was ready." Souta told her. Then looked at her shoulder and saw some blood. "Ah sis you might want to wipe the blood from your shoulder before coming down for dinner." He said.
"Tell mom we'll be down in a minute Souta and thank you." She said as her brother left as Sesshoumaru came over and licked up the blood still leaking from his mark slightly.
"There, my mate, my mark is healed once more." Sesshoumaru said kissing his mate then grabbed her hand but before leaving he spoke. "This Sesshoumaru knows your coming into season will come to pass!" He smiled and lead the way down stairs. They were close to the dining room when they heard Souta speaking.
"Mom, remind me to always knock before entering a room!" Souta had a pleading sound to his voice.
"Why what happened to say that, son?" The mother asked.
"When I went up like I always do and walked in I caught sister and Inuyasha's brother nude and having sex! That was a shocking sight to see and I don't want to see again!" Souta said. That's when Kagome and Sesshoumaru walked in.
"See what, Souta?" Kagome asked which made her brother blush.
"Your brother walked in on you and your mate having sex!" Her grandpa said as he took a bite of his food.
"Oh!" She then blushed and looked at Sesshoumaru who was smiling. She walked to the seat she always ate dinner at and sat down and she motioned for Sesshoumaru to sit by her. "Mom, you didn't put to much curry in this did you like when you cooked this when Inuyasha was here did you?" Kagome asked.
"No, dear!" Her mother walked over and placed a bowl in front of Sesshoumaru. Then got a bowl of curry and vegetable stew and sat down. "So, how is the shard hunting? How long until they are all collected?" Her mother asked.
"Well, it was doing good and I know there is not many shards left, or either they are getting harder to find." Kagome answered.
"So, the taking of a mate and mark that the male youkai does to the female is like a human wedding?" Her mother asked.
"Yes, you could say we are married in a way. Instead of a ring or something like that we have the mark. That way other youkai's will know by scent who they are mates to!" Sesshoumaru said.
"So, my baby is married at the age of seventeen. So, when are you going to make me into a grandmother? When a female be it human or youkai and they become pregnant by a male youkai how long does it take for the female to give birth? Would my daughter give birth to full bloods or hanyou's? They would also have miko power's too, would they not?" Her mother asked.
"Mother!" Kagome blushed. "It will be a while before we have children!"
"Pups!" Sesshoumaru corrected.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"You mean pups!" He looked at the mother "A female be it human or youkai who get pregnant by a youkai depending on what breed of youkai gives birth at different times! For a female be it human or youkai who gets with pup by my race it takes six months before a female gives birth. Since your daughter has my blood within her she herself is now full like myself so she will bare full blooded pups and not hanyou's like Inuyasha and they might have miko powers. I'd have to check the scrolls in my castle to find out. It will not be long till your a grandmother! For she was coming into season when we first mated this morning before going through the well and again just before we came down for dinner as well it will be six months from now depending if fertilization occurred!" Sesshoumaru answered. Kagome looked shocked at this.
"You mean to tell me, there's a good chance I could be with your pup? What are we going to do about the shard hunt and the final battle? I have to complete the quest and put the jewel back together and we still have to destroy Naraku! Not to mention the fact your half brother will be enraged when he finds out." She said with nervousness in her voice.
"No harm will become of you or our pup or pups, my mate, they would have to go through me! Remember when Naraku took my ward Rin and how I was and she is not of my blood and how protective I was with her. So no harm will become of you or ower pup or pups. I'll take care of my half brother!" Sesshoumaru clutched his knuckles.
After dinner everyone went into the family room so Kagome and everyone could catch up on things that have happened while she has been away. When it started to get really late good nites were said and everyone went to there own rooms. When Kagome and Sesshoumaru got to her room she walked over to her full sized mirror and took a good look at herself. There in the mirror she saw her reflection. She saw that her hair was still black but with magenta streaks, on her forehead she had the same color crescent moon as Sesshoumaru, but the color above her eyes and her stripes were silver, her ears were now pointed as well as having fangs and claws. While standing there her gaze and hands went to her stomach and rubbed it and feeling around. When Sesshoumaru came up behind her and placed his hands on hers and interlocked his fingers with hers and put his lips by her ear.
"It's to soon to feel the pup or pups, love! Come, let us retire to your strange futon!" He turned and they walked to the bed then stopped. He turned and pulled the dress up off of Kagome and in turn she helped him to undress. Then she looked up into his eyes.
"Sesshoumaru, tell me truthfully, do you regret taking me as a mate since at first I was a human and I been told you did not want to become what your father was by taking a human mate!" She looked at him to search his eyes.
"Yes, this Sesshoumaru did not want to be like father at first but all the times you challenged me and I let you live started to puzzle me to where I secretly wanted to know you a little more. Then when I saw that half breed brother treat you the way he did those times Rin and I were in your camp and then when I first kissed you at that tree by the village sent shock waves through me and I could not get the feeling out of my mind and wanted to kiss you again and when I did that morning when you went to get wood and I started touching you and my eyes turned red and my fangs grew I wanted to mate you then. Then when your friends brought you to me to be healed my heart felt as if it fell out of my chest at the sight that I saw at how wounded you were because of my half brother. That is when I started wanting you as my mate. So no I don't regret it!" He told her.
"Sesshoumaru, could I ask you a personal question? What was your father like and what happened to your mother?" She asked as they laid down.
