Disclaimer: I'm not exactly sure if I had one before or not, but just to be on the safe side… I don't own any of the characters in this story. And this counts for all my later chapters and all those previous. Enjoy this chapter.

The four of them stared down the empty hall a moment baffled by the fact that they had missed them and that they never heard Kagome screaming. It was like she didn't care that Inuyasha's brother had kidnapped her anymore. Inuyasha of course didn't believe it. His Kagome would never willingly be with his brother. She was in love with him and only him and he was going to make sure it stayed that way.

"Come on you guys, we can't let this little set back keep us from the prize! Kagome needs us! It's obvious that my brother has done something to her!" Inuyasha babbled.

Miroku smirked. "Of course he has Inuyasha. Actually, he's probably just about done everything you haven't."

Inuyasha spun around about to pounce on Miroku, but Sango jumped in the way. "Now, not the time for this. Get into gear you too and stop acting like children. Need I remind you every five minutes that we're here for Kagome?" She lectured bopping Inuyasha over the head and swatting Miroku in the stomach for being childish.

Kouga nodded. "It's not like he's lying. The gods only know what he's done to her in the little time he's had. As of right now we have to set aside our differences and put our heads together. That damn dog's gotta be around here somewhere. No one can just disappear into thin air."

Sesshoumaru set Rin down and Kagome did the same to Shippou. The two little ones made their way to their seats and Kagome smiled when she saw Shippou blushing. Sesshoumaru leaned in and kissed her. "You know, you're very beautiful when you smile."

Kagome couldn't help, but blush. All she ever really got from Inuyasha was a snide remark or a blunt insult. The complement seemed awkward coming from Sesshoumaru, but it was appreciated none-the-less. She pulled him down for one more kiss before taking her seat next to Sesshoumaru.

Just as soon as they sat down servants came from all directions with hands full of different meals. They had just about everything. Shippou's eyes widened and he took anything he could get his little hands on. "Wow, this s good!" He exclaimed turning to Kagome. "Nothing like the food you bring back from your world." He paused a moment to rethink his wording. "Not that your food isn't good too."

Kagome giggled. "It's okay to like this food better Shippou. With us living outside most of the time, m foods the best we can get."

Sesshoumaru looked at her in shock. "You slept outside? Why? My idiot brother could have at least found a decent cave. Who is supposed to watch over the camp when he goes to frolic with that dead bitch?"

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru in horror. She didn't know that camping upset him. "It's okay. I've done it before in my own world. It really never bothered me. Sleeping under the stars is actually rather nice. It beats looking up at a bare ceiling while you try to go to sleep."

Sesshoumaru shook his head. "Sleeping outside every once and awhile is just fine, but all the time is uncalled for. I don't understand what you ever saw in my brother, or see in my brother. That wolf that was chasing me seems better than him. I'm sure the wolf would at least find some kind of shelter."

"Sesshoumaru it's okay really." She looked down at her plate. "Let's just eat. Okay?"

Sesshoumaru nodded.

After that dinner went by silently and once everyone was finished the servants took the plates and disappeared as quickly as they had appeared. Sesshoumaru and Kagome picked up the two children once again and took the to their own rooms. Kagome and Sesshoumaru planted kisses on their cheeks and tucked them in.

As soon as they were finished Sesshoumaru and Kagome headed back to the bedroom. It was almost morning and the ritual still hadn't been preformed. Sesshoumaru wanted Kagome to be his and as long as everything went as planned she would be.

Once the rounded the corner to the bedroom though they were stopped in their tracks when a loud gasped emitted from the group before them and caught their ears. Sesshoumaru stepped in front of Kagome as the other for readied their positions. "Haven't you hurt her enough?" Sesshoumaru asked Inuyasha. "Is that what you really think she deserves? To be your second hand girl? You'll feed her all these lies just to keep her with you. Hide the fact that you don't really love her. Instead you love the woman that once was. Kagome is worth more then that and I'm sorry you couldn't see it."

Inuyasha couldn't take any more of his brother's bullshit and he pounced on him. "Don't you say that! Don't ever say that! That's not it at all! I love Kagome, but there are certain things that make it difficult for me to be with her. Like her resemblance to Kikyo and-"

Sesshoumaru cut him off. "She looks nothing like that routing slut! They are two completely different women. In mind and body! Comparing her with that witch is an insult!"

Kagome ran over to Miroku and Sango who were watching the brothers' wrestle in horrified fascination. Once they realized she was with them they began to pull her away, but she didn't want to go back. She wanted to stay with Sesshoumaru. Pulling away from them she went back to him. "Stop!" she said. Pulling him away from Inuyasha. Why don't you guys just go." She said clinging to Sesshoumaru. "I want to be here, but I still want to see you guys. Just not right now. Not until you can except the relationship in right now."

Sango's eyes fell. "Kagome we don't care whom you want to be with. We're your friends. We're here for you no matter what decisions you make. Just make sure that this is what you really want."

Kagome nodded. She had never been surer in her life. Yes she had only known Sesshoumaru for a few short hours, but still. She felt a strong connection to him and she wanted to keep it that way. She wasn't going to let Inuyasha ruin it for her. "Well, Sesshoumaru and I have a lot of discussing to do so I'd appreciate it if you all left and came back tomorrow." Her friends nodded and dragged Inuyasha away before he made even more trouble.

Kagome and Sesshoumaru went into the bedroom and sat in silence for a moment not really knowing what to say to the other. Finally Kagome spoke up rather timidly. "So, umm… how exactly does this work?" She asked shifting a little uncomfortably.

Sesshoumaru looked at her. "Actions speak louder then words he replied holding her gaze for a few moments before claiming her lips. Kagome melted into his arms. She couldn't help herself. It all felt perfect. She began to kiss him back and could tell that he was getting a little restless when he began clawing at her clothing.

She got his message and began to help him disrobe her. Sesshoumaru's kisses trailing their way down her throat as he plants little love bites along her collarbone. Kagome squealed in delight and began to run her arms along his body. She wanted him so badly, but knew that it wasn't time just yet. He would let her know when to take action, but for now they just got to tease and play.

Kagome began pulling his clothes off. Wasting no time she pushed him on his back and made a kissed trail down his stomach, but just before she reached his member she smiled devilishly at him and trailed right back up kissing him on the lips and grinding lightly against him.

Sesshoumaru could feel himself letting go and that was not what he wanting. If he let Kagome continue to tease him he would take her with no concern of hurting, but only pleasuring himself. In an effort to save Kagome from the raging beast inside of him he pushed her away with a light warning. "I don't want to hurt you."

Kagome didn't quiet understand, but she lay off a bit as she was told and instead Sesshoumaru did all in his power to please her. Softly licking her nipples and every so often gently brushing his fingers against her clit to get the slightest and most innocent moans out of her.

Sesshoumaru couldn't hold back any longer and he slid himself inside of her warm, silky crevice. Slowly he pumped himself inside of her. His eyes glowing blood red. His pace started to quicken the louder her moans grew. No matter his efforts he just couldn't stop himself. He was so close to his climax, but still o' so far. It was like Kagome was driving him to go on and hold himself back.

He began pumping harder and faster. Kagome had already came multiple times, but it only seemed to feed his urges and drive him further over the edge. Kagome screamed his name over and over clawing at his back and arching her body as if to make him go deeper then he already was.

Just as a blood red moon filled the sky and lit Sesshoumaru's room him bit into Kagome's neck and let himself go. He was no where near finished, but this was only the first part of the ritual. Kagome gasped her own climax knowing she too had to leave her own bite on him. Releasing eachother for a split second Sesshoumaru flicked and teased her already swollen clit.

Kagome felt her hormones taking over again and she reflexively took hold of Sesshoumaru's member. Gently pulling and gliding her fingers over his shaft. Smiling she placed kisses all along his chest and softly licked the tip of his penis before taking the whole thing in her mouth and slowly pulling back sucking just enough to remind him she was there.

Sesshoumaru thrusted with her as she sucked his cock. Holding her head in place as she pleased him. Just before he came though, he stopped her. He wasn't wasting his seeds on a little cock play. He wanted all of them to be put to use. Turning Kagome so she was on her hands and knees he positioned himself behind her.

He could feel the heat emitting from her nether region and that alone was almost too unbearable for him to hold himself together. Slowly her entered her through the back door. She moaned loudly not expecting it to feel that good. She immediately tried to thrust down on him, but he held her in place making sure to he was in control.

Thrusting in her at an alarmingly slow rate she felt herself come almost everytime he sheathed it all in. No matter Kagome's attempts Sesshoumaru wouldn't let her set the pace. He was going to make this painfully pleasurable as he could before he completely let go.

Kagome could feel Sesshoumaru going faster and the grip on her hips loosened as Sesshoumaru gave way to his need. Kagome slammed down his member as hard as she could. This was all becoming all to agonizing she longed for the climax and as she thrust one more time forcing his member to go deeper then it had before. The two climaxed together and Sesshoumaru rested against her back a little before getting the strength to roll off of her.

Sesshoumaru lay on his back and pulled Kagome to his side covering them both with a thin sheet and planting kisses on her forehead. "I love you, Kagome."

Kagome smiled brightly and squeezed him. "I love you too." She said leaning up and kissing him on the mouth before snuggling into him falling to sleep.

Kagome woke up to find Sesshoumaru still fast asleep. Careful not to wake him she eased out of the bed and headed to find a maid who could tell her where the bathroom was. As she wandered the halls she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. Turning to get a good look at what it was she screamed.

What she was seeing was her. Only… different. Her reflection had drastically changed. She had the same marks Sesshoumaru had on his cheeks only she had one on each side instead of two. She also had fluffy black ears. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't actually think that Sesshoumaru was being serious about the whole looking like one of them thing.

For a few minutes she just stood there and stared in wonder and amazement at the creature she had become. She felt more confident then ever and more powerful. She kinda liked it. It was definitely better then being the helpless human she had been. Now she felt that is she were still with the group she could actually help out in the action instead of being used as a stupid shard detector! Where was the fun in that?

Now Kagome had choices. She could either stay with Sesshoumaru, or she could run back to the gang and prove what she was made of. Or could she? After last night with Sesshoumaru, maybe she had actually found someone to be with. She had found someone who liked her from just being a helpless human and later gave her the power of ten of them.

She had so much on her mind she just ended up back at the room with her life mate. Sesshoumaru stirred when she got back on the bed next to him. "Is everything okay baby?" He asked brushing her cheek lightly with his knuckles. "You look frustrated." He paused. "Are the events of last night what's bothering you?"

Kagome shook her head. She didn't quiet understand it herself. While she was with him the urge to please was subdued and she felt at peace by his side. Maybe that's what was bothering. The fact that no matter her efforts, Inuyasha always made her feel useless, but Sesshoumaru made her feel needed… wanted. It felt as though this were her true place. A place where she wouldn't be challenged for who or what she was.

Squeezing Sesshoumaru she cuddled into him. Sesshoumaru smiled and stoked her head gently every no and then running his free hand up and down her sides. Kagome giggled a little at the feeling. Then Sesshoumaru smirked and realized he had found a ticklish spot.

Kagome looked up at him from her spot on his chest. "How did you end up with Rin?" She asked out of the blue.

Sesshoumaru looked down at her and smiled. "When I found her she was dead. A pack of wolves had eaten her… not completely of course, but anyway. I figured I would test my sword to see if it actually brought people back to life and it worked. At first I didn't want to take her with me, but somehow we ran across eachother again and I took her in."

During his speech he hadn't noticed the horrified look on Kagome's face. She wasn't positive, but she was pretty sure that Kouga's wolves were the ones who had done it. As if Sesshoumaru could read her mind he stiffened. "If your wolf friend had anything to do with that I'll show him the pain of death!"

A/N: Hello everyone. I finally finished another chapter. It would have ended awhile ago, but I have a complex with having to end the story on the 6th page. I know I'm odd, but be happy I came through with the next Chapter. I'll be going on vacation… well later today. You see it's 1:15am right now, but I wanted to give you guys something for while I'm gone. I'll be spending most of the trip finishing my AP homework and the other getting school clothes, but if I get a chance I'll make sure to make another chapter while I'm gone.
