Trust in a Youkai
Chapter 47:
My Mate
Kagome ran down the hall breathing heavily, looking for a place to hide. She managed to ditch him but he was easily catching up, she knew it. Quickly she rounded another corner then looked behind her. Where was he? Again she rounded another corner but fell back when she hit something. She looked up and let out a small yelp. She scrambled to her feet and ran in the opposite direction. He was faster then she thought, and how did he get ahead of her like that? Not stopping she continued to run until she felt something grab her wrist. She yelped and tripped, bringing down her and her captor. They rolled along the ground until he pinned her hands over her head and strattled her waist. Kagome struggled slightly until her captor leaned over, catching her lips in a kiss.
She broke the kiss and looked in his eyes "Your heavy Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru smirked "Would you like me to use my full weight?"
Kagome giggled "You're too fast."
"No" Sesshoumaru said "You're just too slow."
Kagome's giggles were cut short by another kiss from Sesshoumaru. She smiled and returned the kiss "We should get out of the hall way."
Sesshoumaru said nothing and kissed down her neck, moving the collar of her kimono to get to her collar bone. Kagome made a small noise and moved her hands to his shoulders.
"Sesshoumaru" She said quietly "Let's go to bed."
Sesshoumaru looked in Kagome's eyes. Was she serious? He didn't think she would want to yet, just letting him go this far surprised him "Kagome?"
Kagome smiled and ran her fingers through his hair "I'm ready if you are."
Nodding Sesshoumaru stood up, taking Kagome with him "Only if that's what you want."
"It's what I want" Kagome smiled
"Alright" Sesshoumaru lightly kissed her forehead then picked her up. He walked down the halls, heading towards their room.
As Sesshoumaru walked down the hall Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling into him. Sesshoumaru looked down at Kagome and gave a light smile then picked up the pace slightly. When they made it to their room he pushed the door open then kicked the door closed. He moved over to the bed and gently set Kagome down. Kagome smiled and moved up on the bed. Sesshoumaru kicked off his shoes and sat down on the bed, gently taking Kagome's foot and slipping off her shoes. Kagome could help but let out a small giggle when he lightly kissed each ankle after he took off her shoe.
Sesshoumaru looked up at Kagome, locking her eyes with his then moved up the bed to kiss her. He placed his hand on the back of her head and gently guided her to lie down. Kagome moved a hand to his back and one to play with his hair.
Their kiss broke for the need of air. Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome "Kagome…"
Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru, a confused look playing on her face "What's wrong?"
"I want to mark you as my mate" Sesshoumaru said "I want you to stay with me."
Kagome smiled, tears forming in her eyes "I would like that" she gave him a light kiss "How do you mark me?"
He gently touched the junction where her neck meets her shoulder "I bite you, right here. I won't lie; it will hurt but only for a moment."
"I don't care" Kagome said "I want you too" She leaned up and kissed him.
---------------
Sesshoumaru shifted as he opened his eyes. He looked down feeling something at his side shift and smiled. Kagome was nuzzling against him, making a small purring noise. It was very interesting over the last few weeks after Kagome turned demon. The purring, growling, anything she wasn't used to doing. But out of all that, last night was the best. Moving an arm he reached up and lightly touched the mark on his neck then looked back down at Kagome. She had his mark just like he had hers. It was funny thinking about last night when she marked him as he marked her. She was so confused and worried that she had hurt him. It took a moment for him to explain to Kagome that she was supposed to mark him as well so she would stop worrying about it. Once she understood that it was supposed to happen she calmed down and smiled about it. Kagome mumbled and shifted, moving closer to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru looked down at her as she opened her eyes and yawned. She looked at him and smiled moving her arms to wrap around his waist.
"Morning" she yawned.
"Morning" Sesshoumaru kissed her forehead.
She yawned again and snuggled closer "Do we have to get up yet?"
"No" Sesshoumaru said "But we should, no doubt the others will be up soon."
"True" Kagome sighed and pushed herself to sit up "Rin and Sota are probably already up, every one knows that they like to wake up at the crack of dawn."
Sesshoumaru let out a small chuckle and sat up "Yes, and we don't need them barging in on us when were like this."
Kagome looked down at herself then blushed, pulling the covers over her "Oops."
"You don't need to hide yourself from me" Sesshoumaru said.
"But what if some one comes in?" Kagome looked at the door.
"Here" Sesshoumaru stood up; pulling on a pair of pants then walked over to the closet and grabbed a robe. He walked over to Kagome and handed it to her "Put this on."
Kagome smiled and took the robe "Thanks" she slipped it on then stood up and walked over to the floor length mirror. Smiling she pulled her hair back to look at the mark on her neck. It had already healed and only left a small mark, only noticeable by the demon eye. She turned and smiled at Sesshoumaru then began to get ready. No doubt the other Lords and Ladies would find out what happened. She wanted to look nice when they did.
When Kagome was done changing she walked over to Sesshoumaru and smiled as she straightened out a wrinkle in his kimono. Sesshoumaru looked down at Kagome with a raised eyebrow which only caused Kagome to giggle. He gave a small smile that he only did when the two were alone and allowed her to finish what she started. Kagome walked around Sesshoumaru and hugged him from behind, glad that he didn't have his armor on so she didn't have to be careful where she put her arms. After a moment Sesshoumaru turned around in Kagome's arms and wrapped his arms around her in a loving hug.
"I'm glad I didn't hurt you" Kagome said as she shifted and looked up at the mark on Sesshoumaru's neck.
"It was painless" Sesshoumaru tilted her head to look at him.
Kagome smiled at him "And that's why I felt you jump a little bit when I did it?"
Sesshoumaru smirked and kissed her forehead before pulling out of her arms and heading towards the door. Kagome smiled and rolled her eyes before following after him and wrapping her arms around his. He will never tell her that it actually startled him and hurt, no matter how much she bothered him about it. He had a reputation to keep after all and he wasn't going to ruin it over something like that. Giving a smirk he moved his arm from hers then wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him. Finally, he got what he always wanted. Kagome was now his mate and this time, he was going to keep her safe.
I'm really sorry that this chapter was so short but this was one of the chapters that I had to re-write…. And it was a major re-write…. So yeah, sorry that it was so short.
