Inside The Garden
Kagome ran into the gardens to get away from Sesshoumaru, when she stopped she was in a part of the gardens that she had not been in or seen before. This garden had a large lake and a waterfall, many trees, bushes and flowers. She walked to the edge of the lake and looked around also to see if there was a way to get to the waterfall, but seeing that the only way to get to the waterfall was to swim; she thought that a refreshing swim would calm her down so she wiped her tears away then looking down and saw she was only wearing the sleeping yukata, she chuckled and said "I must be a sight to see! I'm going for a swim." Then she took off her sleeping yukata so it would be something dry to put back on after she got out. With her sleeping yukata on the ground she dived into the lake not knowing a pair of piercing dark gray eyes were watching her behind a bush.
"Well, it looks like I'll be talking to her out there." Lord Toru said as he striped down to his skin and let his haori and hakama drop to the ground. "Since it's dark and just the light of the moon for light, I'll go like this my clothes will be dry." Then he dived into the water and swam towards Kagome.
"This is so beautiful!" Kagome said as she swam closer to the waterfall to were the mist surrounded her. "The moon's light makes the waterfall look like it glows as well as so peaceful."
"Yes, it's peaceful out here." said the voice behind her. Kagome turned around and saw lord Toru. "Lord Toru, what brings you out here? Did Sesshoumaru send you out after me?" Kagome asked.
"He told me what happened, what was said and I told him I would come talk with you; in around about way for him to not interfere and he nodded. Another reason, I'm out here is to swim considering the type of youkai, I am and also watch over you."
"But you being a dolphin youkai, you would not be able to turn into your true form in fresh water since your from the ocean. So you would not be able to swim that fast as you would in your true form would you?" But before he could answer she sank under the water and swam away from him then came up for air and waved then went back under and swam towards the waterfall. When she got closer she made out a shape but when she got to it she saw it looked like a cave so she went back to the surface to get more air.
"Where did you go?" Toru asked.
"I saw a shadowed black shape down there and swam to it and it looks like a underwater cave and I wanted to explore how far it went in but I had to come up for air." After she said that she filled her lungs up with air and dove back under to go see how far the cave went in. When she was almost to the opening she felt a hand lock around hers and pulled her close as they entered the cave. A little later Kagome felt them swim upwards and broke to the surface. "Ah where are we? Why if our heads are out of the water we don't see the moon?" Kagome asked.
"It appears to be a cave or air pocket. There are many like this in the ocean. Hmm, let's see, ah behind you is a ledge try to climb up and sit." She reached up and tried to pull herself up but couldn't. "Hold on, I'll get out and pull you up." Toru got out of the water and reached down and grabbed her hands and pulled her up. When she came out of the water and before she got her footing she slipped and fell forward which Toru caught her in his arms which in turn caused both of their nude bodies to come together and touched. "I've got you! There's no fear of..." Toru's voice got softer as his mouth drew closer to Kagome's and seized her lips with his. He trailed his tongue over her bottom lip seeking entrance.
"Mmmm-N-no!" Kagome pushed out of lord Toru's arms and backed away from him until her back touched wall. "What are you doing? We can't!" She breathed hard as she faintly saw lord Toru moving towards her.
"You liked my lips on yours. Your body betrays you!" He stepped right in front of Kagome. "Your body and you are curious and has been since the day you slipped off the boulder and fell in the surf at my castle and you turned and we were nose to nose almost kissing. Your body is so soft against mine. Tell me you would not want my hands to move up and down like this. Tell me that your body does not crave to be touched!" He said as he trailed his hand down her swollen pregnant belly and rested his hand on her core as his fingers slid into her folds of her core that started to wake up and start to come alive by getting moist. "Tell me you don't crave to have my fingers slid in and out of you like so!"
"Please you shouldn't, We shouldn't be doing this! My mate will be... Mmmm!" Kagome moaned as her head tilted back.
"Your mate, even though he's a dog youkai will not be able to tell we have done anything because water messes up and washes away scents. Our scents will be washed clean off of us." Toru placed his mouth over her nipple as he slid three of his fingers deep within her heated core as a raspy moan came from her. Then while she was against the wall he went to his knee's and slid his fingers out of her core and used two of the three to spread open the folds of her core and brought his face closer and placed his tongue inside the opening of her core and plunged his tongue inside tasting her. Not long after he started her hips started bucking and his mouth was filled with her juices. After licking her clean he raised up onto his feet and pressed her back against the wall and brought her hips forward and stepped between her thighs and slid his manhood deep within her but making sure not to hurt the pup she was currently carrying. As he entered her he heard her cry out in pleasure.
"Ooooooohh mmmmm!" They went on in this position for another fifteen minutes until lord Toru pulled himself out of her and guided her to the floor.
"You feel wonderful wrapped around my member, Kagome." said Toru as he wrapped Kagome's legs around him as he guided himself back into her.
"We should get going back to our clothes before the guards finds them and reports back to my mate or he comes looking for mm... uss... harderr Toru." moaned Kagome.
"Fear not for, we have not been gone long and I fear not to go harder due to your pup you already carry within you. But this one will go faster within you." Toru picked the pace up until Kagome screamed out her release as Toru grunted heavily as he slammed into her as his seed shot into her filling her. "Lady Kagome, you are wonderful." They rested there for a bit while Toru finished spilling his seed then pulled out of Kagome and they both sat up. As they were sitting there Toru saw that Kagome was shaking so he moved behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Your worried that your mate will smell my seed and my scent, are you not?" He watched as Kagome nodded. "Your mate has a good nose for smelling things but fear not; for I know he will not smell my seed within you or my scent once we have been in the water. For one of my kind has bedded Sesshoumaru's mother a few days after Sesshoumaru was born when InuTaisho was away and he never knew she had rutted with one of my kind. Anyway the Lady's of the land's can have male concubines as the males can have female concubines. Now that brings me to one of the reasons, I am out here."
"Lord Toru, would you be my one and only secret male concubine?" Kagome asked.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Even if I tell you that I know your mate has not been with any other female while you and his ward's been at my castle. His general did not know it was you that was with Sesshoumaru on the futon! So your mate is innocent and has not bedded anyone other than you while you were gone. So after you heard the truth about him are you still wanting me as your secret concubine?" Toru watched Kagome thought about it for a bit.
"Yes, but mostly it'll be when I'm lonely and when my mate is away for a long time. We can meet in here which will be called my sanctuary, my secret hiding spot. Where I can get away from all of it for a while." Kagome told him. Then he nodded.
"But you do know that if Lord Sesshoumaru did bed another female, you can't get upset with him. But as his mate if he does you have every right to watch the process of him bedding her. So if he is in the beginning or where ever during the rutting you can sit there and watch the same goes for him. It is in the youkai rules." Toru told her.
"Would you sit with me, while I speak with my mate as a request?" She asked.
"As you wish, Kagome. But now we must swim out of your private sanctuary and our meeting spot. But you must also mate with your mate as well so he won't know about our joining until you want him to know." He watched her nod as he kissed her then turned her around and they jumped into the water and swam out of the cave and she went to the shore where her sleeping yukata was and he went to where he undressed and got all of his outfit on and walked over to her. "Kagome, I hate to do this but we have to do something to explain our wet hair!" So he picked her up in his arms and dove into the water then came back up and out of the water onto the shore. Then sat her on her feet then he took off his outer haori and wrapped it around her even though it was wet. Then they walked towards the castle. As they got closer lord Toru bent down and picked Kagome up into his arms and carried her into the castle. When he saw a guard he called out to him and he came over. "You go inform lord Sesshomaru that I found Suki and tell him of the state she's in and that I'm carrying her to her chamber." With that the guard was off towards Sesshoumaru's study. Lord Toru used his youkai speed and ran up the stairs but once he got close to the third floor he slowed down and walked the rest of the way up. When he reached the top of the stairs for the third floor by the guards He saw Sesshoumaru come out of his study with Jaken coming behind him.
"What happened lord Toru?" Sesshoumaru asked as Toru handed Kagome over to Sesshoumaru still wrapped in his wet haori.
"We were talking and she was trying to see if she could levitate and go through the air but in trying to do so she closed her eyes. Luckily she drifted over and stopped over the middle of the lake which has a waterfall in your gardens because when she opened her eyes she panicked and fell out of the sky and plunged into the water. Noticing this I swam out and retrieved her and brought her back here." Toru spoke in reverence to Sesshoumaru.
"This Sesshoumaru is indebted to you." Then he saw a servant coming down the hall and stopped "Go retrieve a fresh sleeping kimono." Sesshoumaru turned and walked down the hall towards his bed chamber but stopped at his study. "Lord Toru, wait within my study for upon my return, we shall talk." Then he continued down to the bed chamber with Kagome in his arms. Once inside the chamber Sesshoumaru placed Kagome on her feet and looked her over. "Are you alright, my love?" He reached out and removed Toru's haori from her body as well as the soaked sleeping yukata then lead her over to the futon "Please lay down, so I may check our pup!" So she laid back onto the futon as he knelt down next to her and started feeling her swollen belly. As he was doing so he felt a strong kick which made a smile come to his face which faded as the bed chamber door opened and in walked a young female servant with the fresh sleeping kimono.
"Sorry M'Lord, I just brought the kimono for the other servant since she had to go and do something else." The young female servant walked over close to Sesshoumaru and held out her arms which held the sleeping kimono when he took it and she turned swiftly around and walked towards the door. When she did turned around a spicy scent waft up to his nose which he deeply took in which he knew what the scent meant.
"That scent entices this Sesshoumaru. It's the scent when female's come into heat! It's alluring to this Sesshoumaru since this Sesshoumaru has not mated his mate for close to one full month due to my mate being with pup. I could bed this servant then give her a potion, so she would not conceive from the joining." Sesshoumaru thought to himself. "Servant, you are to report to my study when you finish your work. We're to talk about the conduct of a servant!" He ordered then watched as the servant left then he turned back to Kagome to see that while he was speaking to the servant Kagome grabbed the sleeping kimono and had gotten dressed.
"Sesshoumaru, could we go to your study we need to talk." Kagome said.
"Yes mate, we must talk. Come." He stood up and reached for her hand and they walked to his study and saw Toru stand up and greeted the western lord and lady by bowing. Sesshoumaru walked behind his low level desk and sat down. "Lord Toru, with all due respect could our meeting wait till after I talk to my mate?" Sesshoumaru voiced out.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, with all due respect to you, my mate but upon request of mine, I asked lord Toru to sit while we talk please." Kagome spoke lovingly.
"Granted, my mate but let it not become a habit for their will be times this Sesshoumaru will need to speak to you alone." He slightly smiled.
"I would like to start of what I have to say by say I'm sorry for running out earlier when your general thought I was your concubine. It was to be expected knowing that I have a different look to me right now. I should of trusted you. Lord Toru said that you had not been with another female other than me. He also mentioned to me that you would be able to have a female concubine or concubines as well as the lady of the lands may have a male concubines or concubines. He went on to mention that the lady of the land could watch her mate during the act as well as the lord of the lands could do the same while the lady is with a concubine. That act is within the rules of youkai society. But I would hope that you would let me know if you do release yourself with a concubine you would let me your mate know. I would not judge or think of you differently of you if you did and hopefully you would do the same with me. As well as not putting her above me and going and warming her bed when I'm able and willing to do so!" Kagome took a deep breath. "So what I am trying to say is if during anytime that you can't seek your mate for release due to me being away visiting my family, or because I am pregnant and carrying your pup and I can't satisfy you for your release I won't hold it against you if you seek out a concubine." Kagome finished saying and took a chance to look at Sesshoumaru. When she did he sat there shocked. "Well are you going to say anything?"
"I am not like my half brother at not respecting the woman I have chosen as my mate! Yes, it's within the youkai society about concubines. I would not put any lesser youkai or human who would be only a means of release above my mate. My mate is my source of main pleasure. This Sesshoumaru has missed his mate's warm body lying next to him at nights. Curse that vile hanyou! He will pay for having my mate and my ward having to separate from the western lands to hide and not being around this Sesshoumaru. This Sesshoumaru also hears what you are saying and will take it into his heart." He then looked down at his desk and picked up a scroll that had the seal of the western lands on it and handed it to lord Toru.
"What's this scroll for lord Sesshoumaru?" Toru asked.
"Lord Toru, you are to take my mate and ward and leave this castle before the sun rises and take them back to your castle and keep them there until I come and get them after the vile hanyou is dead. I'll leave word for my general to send word for my mate to return to the castle either because I'm badly wounded and unable to come and get them or to return and rule the lands upon my death! In case of my death, hand my mate that scroll which states all within my lands be it my general, guards, servants, council, and retainer are to follow her as ruler until my heir be it a male is of age to rule." Sesshoumaru turned and faced his mate and opened his mouth to speak. But Kagome spoke.
"Lord Toru, would you be so kind to remove the concealing spell so that my mate could see and sleep by the true image of the lady of the western lands! So that is what he see's before day break." Kagome asked and watched as Toru nodded and closed his eyes and said something as she started to glow. Then Toru opened his eyes as the true image of Kagome appeared. "There my mate so this is what you see before we retire and sleep and is what you'll see upon waking and which you'll be returning to after the battle." That's when Sesshoumaru took ahold of her hands.
"Mate, you must listen to what I'm to tell you. If at Naraku's death and I in return don't make it you are to return to this castle and you are to take upon you another mate." He saw Kagome shake her head no.
"N-no, you must not talk so! You will return from the battle!" She cried.
"If I don't you are to take a new mate. A powerful one of high standing and not a low level youkai. Do you understand? You are so young,to not take upon yourself a new mate; if I was to die and waste away your years. Would you do that for this Sesshoumaru?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I understand but I know you will return." She spoke.
"Lord Toru, before sunrise I'll be heading out looking for Naraku. You are to wake both my mate and ward and leave this castle before light appears in the sky and be on your way to get them within safety of your castle." Sesshoumaru watched as Toru nodded. "Now, my mate and I bid you good night." As all three walked to the study door and walked out into the hall and headed to two separate bed chambers.
Once Sesshoumaru and Kagome had entered their bed chamber, Sesshoumaru walked over and placed his swords next to the wall on his side of the futon and striped everything off except his inner haori and hakama. Then turned around and saw the sleeping kimono fall to the floor and Kagome walked over to her mate nude. She reached her hand up and trailed it down his chest and over to his male nipple then brought her mouth to it and sucked his nipple as well as nipping at it with her fangs.
"Mate, I fear not take you with you being with pup since for in the morning it will have been a month and a few days since we have mated and our pup has grown much since that time and this Sesshoumaru fears he would not be able to control his youkai blood during our mating and that would not be good for you and our pup since you'll be giving birth soon for our pup like this Sesshoumaru says has grown and is going faster due to the mixer of your miko powers and my youkai blood that's within you that made you a youkai." But Kagome kept on licking and nipping his skin going down lower until she was on her knee's and working her clawed hand into his hakama and pulled his erection out and ran her tongue from the tip to the base of his erection then back to the tip and opened her mouth and slid his erection deep within her hot mouth. "Grrrr, mate, I don't won't to hurt you, Please!" Sesshoumaru pleaded but Kagome took out his erection from her mouth and stood up and looked at him.
"You know Sesshoumaru, there are other holes on a woman's body that a man can use that would bring pleasure to a guy. In my era both girls and boys are taught this. These ways a female won't be able to become with child." Kagome told Sesshoumaru as she lead him over to their futon and had him lay back. Once he was laying back Kagome straddled him then kissed his lips and trailed down his neck. "Sessho, when you go out in the morning and if your half brother and group shows up please let them help you defeat Naraku." Kagome voiced as she looked up at him before moving down to his chest. Sesshoumaru grabbed her by the arms.
"You think this Sesshoumaru can't handle the vile hanyou on my own?" This Sesshoumaru does not need help from the half breed and his human companions!" Sesshoumaru lightly growled.
"Just in case, my love please, please let them help you. I want our pup to have a father and I want my mate to come back to me." Kagome finished saying before Sesshoumaru picked Kagome up and laid her down beside him.
"You should get some sleep for soon, you'll be traveling back to the southern castle until the challenge is over and Naraku is dead." Sesshoumaru said as he looked down at his mate and saw her sad eyes which resulted in him sighing. "This Sesshoumaru will let the half breed and his human companions help if this Sesshoumaru needs any help! Now go to sleep, my precious mate." He lay there watching as his mate fell asleep. While he watched her fall asleep he was reminded of the erection that she caused him that he could feel when the silk sheets moved. He tried the best he could to pay no attention to it. So he slid out off the futon and picked up his swords and his outer haori and hakama and went to his study.
