Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha but I do have my words! Muhahahaha!
Sesshomaru woke up and opened his eyes to see Kagome just sitting there smiling as she watched him sleep. He smiled and moved her closer to him. He kissed her forehead and she smiled.
"I just could not bear myself to wake you. You slept so soundly."
"That is ok. I was dreaming and did not want to wake except now I am happy that I did because you are still here with me."
Kagome raised one of her black eyebrows at him, "Oh really! It was that good of a dream huh?"
Sesshomaru squeezed her slightly, "I see that I have not awoken from my dream as of yet since you are truly still here with me."
Kagome's face started to get red with embarrassment. She truly did love how he felt in her arms. How the safety and security was there for her when she needed it most. She had never felt this way with InuYasha. She felt love from InuYasha and he was always protecting her but she did not feel the security with that love like she is feeling from Sesshomaru right at this moment.
Could I really move on with Sesshomaru? Living here with him in the palace? Being his mate for life and helping him raise Rin into a young woman?
Kagome smiled as she thought this. Sesshomaru looked at her this whole time that she was pondering her feelings between the two brothers.
He smiled at her, "What are you thinking Kagome? Are you regretting your actions and mine as well?"
Kagome smiled at him, "I am fine. I am not regretting anything that we have done. Nothing at all, actually I was wondering how my life would change if things continued as they are now."
Sesshomaru took his hand and flicked her nose, "Do you think that it would not be a good thing to be here with me?"
He flicked my nose! He flicked my nose! What in the hell was that all about? Is he trying to tease me?
She looked at him in amazement. "Did you just flick my nose? Are you serious? You flicked my nose!"
Sesshomaru started to chuckle a little bit. He did not think that he would get a response like that from her. He saw that her eyebrows came together and she pouted her lips together, "Listen mister, you are not going to run around and flick my nose whenever you want to." She said a little annoyed as she pushed him a little with her hand.
He cocked his head to the side a little bit, "You are not going to push me again like that girl. And I will flick your nose when ever I want to and where ever I want to."
She got up on and sat down on her butt in front of him. She straightened her back and pushed him again. He raised a silver eyebrow at her, "Are you seriously thinking of challenging me Kagome?" She pushed him again and this time a little harder than before. She did not think that he would actually do anything to her. She just wanted to see if he was going to do anything to her, if anything. Not realizing his quickness, he moved and gently put her down back on the bed. Moving slightly so he was on top of her without taking out her breath. He had her hands over her head pinned under his own. He was thankful for both hands now as he moved his head closer to hers.
"Sesshomaru what in the hell are you doing? Are you crazy?" She spat out. Angry and surprised at the same time of his actions because she was not expecting this.
He smiled at her, "You did not expect me to react this way did you. I warned you though to not push me again."
"Yes I know that but I did not think that you would do this though!"
His face was now very close to hers, they were touching noses as they were talking. Kagome was slightly getting nervous; she never thought that she would be staring down the great Lord of the Western Lands this closely like this. Sesshomaru smiled as he noticed that her scent had a touch of fear in it. He moved closer and planted a kiss on her cheek. And then he started to move to her ear and down the side of her neck. She closed her eyes and moaned a little bit. The sound coming from her even surprising herself, and the sensations that he was creating from his touches with his mouth were making her feel like putty in his hands.
He released her hands and he caressed her hip. He made sure that he kept the other one where it was for support. She moved her hands to his back embracing him. She lightly moved her hands up and down his back scratching him with her nails as the sensations of passion went through her body. She moved his silky hair to the side so she could feel the true length of his back. She could feel the muscles under his skin move effortlessly as he moved his hands around exploring on her body. His mouth still on her neck, lightly nicking her with his fangs.
She moved her hands lower on his body feeling every thing and it was like mapping his back on how it felt. She found the base of his tail coming out from his spine in his lower back. She played lightly with the fur with her hand while the other hand had found his muscular butt. She moved both hands lightly as to send just silent yet effective sensations through his body. She could feel his body start to respond to what she was doing to him. He was starting to have issues controlling his demon side as he moved his mouth along side her collarbone and then moving his mouth lower in between her breasts. He could feel himself starting to get hard with her movements with his tail and his butt. He had wanted her and wanted her now but he did not want to do that with her. They have not been courting that long and they still had many things to accomplish before them doing so. He had to earn her trust and her love for him and him only. But it was getting harder and harder to resist her while she was doing this to him. He moved his mouth back up under her chin, lightly stroking it with his tongue until he found her lips. He licked her lips, first the outline of them and then the fullness of her lips. He closed his mouth over hers and she immediately moved her hand that was on his tail to his head and the other one that was on his butt back to the middle of his back. With the hand on his head she pushed it closer on her lips. She parted her lips just a little bit to tease him with her taste. His tongue exploring what she would let him. He could get a little taste of what she was like but not fully and he wanted to know fully what she tasted like. A purr like growl came from his throat as she did this to him. She was driving him nuts and she knew it.
She grabbed the hair on the back of his head and pulled so their lips parted from each other. Both of them were gasping for air because of their actions. They were full of passion and both of them knew that they had to stop or something was going to happen that they might regret. Kagome let go of his hair and let her hand fall to her side. He moved his head and rested it on the side of her neck, slowing his breathing.
"Thank you Kagome, I think that I was very close to marking you."
"I am sorry for this Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru raised his head and looked at her. "You have nothing to be sorry for Kagome. My actions are mine and your actions are yours. I do not regret anything that I have done just now and I do not want you to be either." He placed a soft kiss on her lips.
He then got up and stretched his body. He looked out of the window, "It is a beautiful day out Kagome, come over here with me and watch the sun rise."
Kagome got out of bed and cuddled up next to him. He wrapped his arm around her and she did to him too. They stood there watching the sun kiss the land that lay before them through the window. Kagome was truly happy right now and she knew right at that moment that she would be happy here with Sesshomaru. After the sun rose, Kagome went and bathed while Sesshomaru wrote his missive for Rin. By the time that she was back from the hot spring, he was ready for them to leave. She went into his arms and never let go until she had to.
They headed to InuYasha and Kikyou's home. By the time that they arrived at the door, InuYasha was there waiting for them.
"Good morning InuYasha." Sesshomaru said.
"Good morning Sesshomaru and Kagome."
They went into the home and sat in the dining hall for breakfast. Kikyou had arrived while they waited for the food. She looked as beautiful as ever sitting there next to InuYasha.
"Kikyou, it is nice to see you again. How are you feeling since your wedding?" Kagome asked.
"I am feeling great. Things are going well here at the house that Sesshomaru built for us. Um. But why are you two here together?"
Kagome and Sesshomaru looked at each other. Kagome decided that she better talk before InuYasha opened his trap.
"Sesshomaru came to my home a few days ago and requested to court me now that things are over with Naraku. And I have accepted and we wanted to let you know that I am going to be staying over there for a while because we are making some changes to his palace. I did not want either of you to barge in wondering what the hell Sesshomaru has done now so we thought it best to tell you ahead of time."
Kikyou's eyes got large; she could not believe what came out of Kagome's mouth just now.
"Kagome, I am glad that you are going to be helping Sesshomaru with some things at the palace. I am happy to come and help you with anything that you might need."
Kagome smiled, she was happy that things were going so well over here. The food arrived and they all ate in silence. After breakfast, Kagome and Kikyou talked a little in the corner by the window. Sesshomaru sat at the table with InuYasha.
"I am thankful that you did not cause a scene InuYasha."
"Keh, I should not have barged in your palace like that last night. I am sorry big brother."
"There is no need to be sorry InuYasha, I was expecting it actually because of your past with Kagome. I do hope that things are going to go smoothly from now on right?"
"Yeah you can count on me to behave Sesshomaru. Hey, what kinds of things are you going to do at the palace?"
"Kagome suggested some improvements that I am going to carry on with. She suggested that I expand the stables for the animals and that the quarters for the staff and army be done as little houses depending on rank."
"Oh, and you are actually going to do this just because she suggested it?"
"Yes, little that you know, I do care for Kagome and would like to keep her happy. I would like to make sure that everything that she wants done gets done. I think that your actions last night actually brought her closer to me. I know that you don't want to hear that from your own brother but we have to face reality here. I would like to have her as my mate for life before the year is done."
InuYasha was both heart broken and sad at the stuff that his brother told him but he was right as usual. InuYasha had to face reality on his actions when it came to Kagome.
"You better keep her safe if you are to go through with this plan of yours. I might have Kikyou but I will be damned if I am going to stay by and watch you hurt her like I did." InuYasha said with a straight yet serious face.
"I assure you brother that she is going to be safe and happy with me."
Kagome and Kikyou came over to them.
"What are you guys so serious about?" Kagome said jokingly.
"We are speaking of nothing of importance. Did you guys have a nice talk?" Sesshomaru said.
"Yes, she is going to help me decorate the little houses for your army and staff after they are built. She agrees with me when I told you that they should feel comfortable in their own homes after battle." Kagome said with a smile on her face.
Sesshomaru got up and hugged Kagome. "Good, I am glad. Now if we are to get back like we said we would to Rin, we best be leaving."
Kagome shook her head and went and hugged Kikyou and InuYasha goodbye. As proper hosts they saw their guests to the door. They watched as they disappeared in the sky and then they resumed what they were doing in the house.
They landed at the well for Kagome to reach her mother.
"Would you like to come with me Sesshomaru? I would like it if you would."
"I would be honored to be your guest in your time Kagome."
Kagome smiled and grabbed his hand. They threw their legs over the lip of the well and at the same time, jumped in. When they arrived in her time he was amazed that it was so quiet. They flew out of the well and headed towards her home. Sota was the first one out of the house; he was so happy that she was home again from the feudal era. But he stopped short when he saw the tall man who looked similar to InuYasha but wasn't.
Kagome ran and gave him a hug hello.
"Sota! How are you doing? Is mom home? I would like to speak with her. OH! This is Sesshomaru, he is InuYasha's older brother."
Sesshomaru looked down at the young man that stood before him. "Hello. I am Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands in my time. How are you Sota?"
Sota just stood there amazed. He was only up to Sesshomaru's collarbone. Gosh this guy is tall!
Sota extended a hand to Sesshomaru. "I am fine today. I am pleased to meet you Sesshomaru. So are you full demon or half like InuYasha? Oh and sis, mom went to the store, she is going to be back soon."
"I am a full demon unlike InuYasha. We share the same father but have different mothers. What is a store?"
Kagome laughed and grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the house. They all sat down on the couch in the living room. Kagome looked at her brother, "Ok Sota start asking all the questions that you would like."
Sota just looked at Sesshomaru. He was so elegant and proper unlike InuYasha.
"Um sis, I only have one. What is he doing here?"
Kagome laughed again. "Sesshomaru is courting me for marriage. I wanted mother and you to meet him and try to get to know him. I also wanted to let you guys know that I am fine after Kikyou and InuYasha's wedding and that I am fixing some things at Sesshomaru's palace so I will not visit again for a while."
Just then Kagome's mother walked in. She looked at the 3 of them sitting in the living room. She dropped her groceries and ran to Kagome, giving her a large hug.
"Oh Kagome I am so happy that you are home. I have missed you so much." She then realized that there was a rather tall and regal looking man next to her daughter holding her hand. She looked at him. "I am sorry who are you?"
Sesshomaru got off the couch and bowed to her mother. "I am Lord Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands of my time. And yes, I am InuYasha's older brother and I am a full demon unlike him. I am please to meet your acquaintance Kagome's mother." He grabbed her hand and placed a small kiss on top of it.
Kagome's mother blushed at the action and waved her other hand in the air like he had seen Kagome do countless times before.
"Now there is no need for such theatrics I assure you Sesshomaru. But, there is still one question that I would like for you to answer me young man. Why are you here and why are you holding my daughters hand?"
Kagome laughed. "Mom that was 2 questions!"
Again the redness returned to her mother's face. "Sorry my mistake but I would like them answered please."
"I am in request for courting your daughter for marriage. I would humbly be happy if you would accept this courting. And Kagome has agreed and I did not notice that I had her hand in mine actually." Sesshomaru stated.
Kagome started laughing again. "Sesshomaru you do not have to be so formal around my family."
Kagome's mother just stood there. "For her hand in marriage? You are dating my daughter for marriage?"
"Yes my lady. If it is ok with you I would like to continue to."
Kagome's mother just stood there and then looked at the clock. "Oh my, I have to get dinner on the table. Kagome will you help me with the groceries and the kitchen. Sesshomaru you stay here with Sota. I am sure that he could find something of interest for you to do."
And with that she grabbed her daughters hand and grabbed the groceries and they were off to the kitchen. She hugged her daughter and looked at her. Kagome looked good considering that she decided to spend her life during that time instead of theirs. But it was good that she was coming back still after the jewel was destroyed. That was Kagome's wish, to still be able to travel through the well with anyone that she wished to get back to her time.
"Kagome, do you love him or like him enough to date him? I mean he is InuYasha's older brother."
"Mother I am fine and Sesshomaru is really much more loving than what you see before you. He is sweet and kind. He took in an orphaned human girl years ago and has given her everything that could have wanted! He really is a good demon. I think that I can be happy with him. We talked with InuYasha and Kikyou this morning before coming over. It was so hard momma. To see them together and be happy but, I am a strong person and it is time for me to move on with my life. And I really think that I can with Sesshomaru, I mean I am going to be spending much more time with him at his palace for a while. He asked me for my opinion on some of the things that need to be changed and I am going to be overlooking the construction. He trusts me and I believe that he is going to learn to love me also."
Kagome's mother was working around the kitchen while Kagome was telling her all this. She stopped and wiped her hands on her apron and held Kagome's shoulders. "I can see that he already does. I don't know what kind of relationship that you have with Sesshomaru but I just want you to be happy and I can see that you already are. I have not seen that spark in your eyes since the first time that you came back from that era all those years ago. I do hope that one day, you will show me that world so I can see it for myself on how beautiful and mystical it truly is."
Her mother ushered her out of the kitchen 10 minutes later to find out how the boys are doing in the living room. When Kagome went out there, Sesshomaru and Sota were nowhere to be found. She went searching through the house and nothing still, she saw then through the bathroom window that they were outside. Sesshomaru was displaying his poison whip, claws and gas to Sota with sticks as the enemy. Kagome smiled and found her way outside to the backyard. She leaned up against a tree and crossed her arms over her chest. She saw that Sesshomaru knew that she was there but she knew that she could surprise her brother. She crept up behind Sota very slowly and quietly, and then she pounced on him. He screamed so loud that all of Tokyo could hear him. She started laughing so hysterically that she fell to the ground. Even Sesshomaru was laughing at Sota. Poor Sota just stood there panting with his hand on his chest. Clearly scared shitless from Kagome's act. Kagome's mother was watching at everything that Sesshomaru was showing Sota before Kagome scared him. She was scared at the fact that he had that running through his veins and might use that on her daughter but when his face relaxed and the sternness went away, she saw that yes, he was a compassionate man and that he would not hurt her daughter. She saw it in his eyes, that he already loved her dearly but was biding his time till he earned her trust and her love in return. She smiled at this as she put the prepared food in bowls, ready to eat. She placed them on the table by the place settings and went to the sliding glass door. She crossed her arms over her chest like Kagome did and she smiled.
"Dinner is ready. You can come and eat when you are ready, unless you still can't breath Sota." She said with a slight chuckle.
Sota's face went red with embarrassment. They all went inside and ate and talked of various things like Sesshomaru's palace and how Sota dearly wanted to see it and to see InuYasha again. It was not until around midnight that night that everyone settled down to sleep. Sesshomaru was put into the guest bedroom since their engagement was not official or told yet. He was keeping it to himself; he decided that he was going to wait to ask her, to give her a little more time.
Kagome was in her old room and she was happy to be home. She lay down in bed and thought about what has been transpiring over these last few days and what her mother had said in the kitchen. Does Sesshomaru already hold such feelings for me already? And why has he not told me? I mean our actions this morning were quite amazing but I would have thought that would have showed him that I trust him with my life. Well, we will see exactly how well he can trust me when I bring him into the city tomorrow.
Kagome smiled at that last thought. InuYasha almost freaked when she brought him to the city for the first time, is Sesshomaru going to be easily amused as well? Kagome fell asleep thinking of all that is going to happen over the next day or so. Going to get the stuff that she needed and then leaving her family once again.
Sesshomaru wanted so bad to go to Kagome's room and sleep next to her. She had started to make him feel so good when he slept. He noticed last night that he slept harder and deeper than he ever had since he was a pup. He did not understand it but he felt safe with her like he did with his mother, when she would cuddle with him or even a simple touch. He had to admit that he loved it when she let him touch her this morning, and her taste was like the sweetest rose he had ever smelled. He undressed and put on his silk pants and laid down into the bed. It was quite a bit softer than the one that he had at home. He was wondering if there was a way to get some of these through the well and bring them to his palace. He was sure that Rin would love to have a bed that was so soft. Little did he know, he was already asleep before that thought was over with.
The next morning Sesshomaru was in the backyard fully dressed and watching the sun rise over the trees. Kagome watched him through the kitchen window as she sipped her hot coffee. She smiled because he looked so regal and beautiful in the way that he was standing and the wind playing with his hair as it blowed it behind him. He was not wearing his armor because he trusted Kagome in her world and he knew that they would not succumb to danger here. He smelled her scent with the wind and he smiled. He knew that she was watching him see the sun rise. She came up behind him and hugged him and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Good morning Kagome, I see that you slept well last night."
"Good morning Sesshomaru and yes I did very well. I do hope that you were able to. I know that our beds are very different from the futons in your palace."
"Yes, one thing that I was wondering, was if we were able to stuff one through the well for Rin. She would love to sleep on one of these beds."
Kagome smiled, "Yes I am sure that she would Sesshomaru. I would have to think about that one. Come let's have some breakfast. We have many things to do before leaving tonight."
"Actually I was wondering if you didn't mind leaving until tomorrow morning. I was going to teach Sota some basic fighting stances tonight after dinner."
Kagome looked at Sesshomaru with surprise in her eyes. "Oh really. And why do you think that he would need to have those for?"
"He said that he wanted to incorporate them with his karate lessons that he is taking."
Kagome smiled and agreed. They walked in the house in each other's arms. Kagome prepared breakfast that morning, allowing her mother to get to know Sesshomaru more and for Sota to just sit there and stare at the Lord of the Western Lands. After they ate, Kagome asked her mother to borrow her car so they are able to purchase some things that are needed. Her mother agreed and gave her the large credit card. After hearing what Kagome was going to exactly do, her mother told her to purchase an old style sewing machine and lots of material for the windows and the beds. Kagome gave her mother a hug before her and Sesshomaru left in her car.
They drove downtown Tokyo and they purchased many types and shades of silk that were in Sesshomaru's insignia colors. Kagome wanted to make the homes comfortable but to also alert others that they hold people that are associated with The Lord of the Western Lands. At their final spot they found the sewing machine that she was looking for; it was a floor pedal operated sewing machine. She bought tons of thread and good scissors for her duties that her and Kikyou were going to do at the palace. She also purchased some candy and toys for Rin and some more bathing supplies also.
Throughout the whole time that they were downtown Sesshomaru asked her about things that sparked his interest and some questions that raised in his mind. He was totally fascinated with the modern age but could not understand how people could live so close to one another in the buildings as Kagome told him that they were. She tried to explain things so he would understand him and soon found out that he absorbed so much information that soon he would overflow.
By the time that they arrived back home, the car was filled with many things. It took them many trips to the well to deposit them into the bottom, so things were ready when they wanted to leave the next morning. Kagome was pleased that he wanted to stay an extra day. They went inside and Kagome's mother came to her with a locket.
"Kagome, this is a locket that your father gave to me soon after we started dating." She opened the locket to reveal two pictures inside. Kagome's eyes were wide and with tears. One was of her mother, her father, and Sota; on the other side was a picture of her and Sesshomaru in the morning sunrise in each other's arms.
"Mother you shouldn't have. I did not know that you were awake this morning to take this picture. I simply love the locket mother. Thank you so much, I will wear this everyday of my life." Kagome said trying to fight back tears. She hugged her mother with such force that she thought that she would kill her. Kagome then walked over to Sesshomaru and showed him the locket. He then asked her many questions on how the paintings were so precise on to put them in the locket.
That was when Sota came in and explained to him the miracle of digital cameras and printers. They went off and talked while Kagome and her mother went into the other room. Kagome left one bag out from the car and handed it to her mother. She opened the bag and it revealed beautiful silver, blue and red silk.
"Kagome what is this?"
"Mother, I would like you to make a mother's ceremonial kimono out of this material. I would also like you to make a brother's ceremonial kimono for Sota out of this material. One wish that I made while the jewel was being put back together was for me to travel between the two times with anyone that I wanted to. I want to bring you over there after all the provisions are done and show you all that you would like to see. I want you to wear the correct type of clothing that we wear in that time. I also wanted you to put our family insignia out of the red silk. Those are Sesshomaru's colors but I want them with our insignia on the kimono's to show that you are protected by him and for everyone to know to stay away from us while we are showing you around."
Kagome's mother just started crying and hugged her daughter with much force. She was so happy that her daughter wanted to show her the world that she loves.
They spent the evening talking and playing games. Sesshomaru did as he was promised with Sota and showed him some simple, yet effective stances. Kagome and Sesshomaru were on the couch in the living room watching a movie and eating popcorn while the rest of the house was quiet. Sesshomaru needed some explanation on how the movie worked and how the TV was able to work on with the moving pictures that came out with the sound. He soon was so into the movie that he rarely asked for some of the popcorn. They were watching City of Angels and at the end of the movie, Sesshomaru hugged Kagome. Kagome was crying because it was a sad yet wonderful ending of the movie. She cradled her head in his chest; she did not look up to him until he spoke to her.
"Kagome, I do not want that for our fate. I would be heartbroken to lose you like that woman lost her love."
"Sesshomaru it is just a movie and you have to remember that we live in a different time than they do. Plus, this is an American movie, not one made here in Japan. Would you really be heartbroken if I died?"
Sesshomaru moved his hand and touched her cheek lightly. "Kagome I would be heartbroken if you made me leave you here and you never came back. Spending time with your modern family and seeing how they work and think, makes me care for you more."
Kagome leaned her head into his touch. She moved her hand to his cheeks where the strips were so blatant on his face. She moved her hand down to his chin and his head moved down to hers as she did this. He placed a soft, yet inviting kiss on her lips. She moved into the kiss and he responded a little more by bringing her into his lap. They sat there and cuddled for a bit in the silence of the night.
Kagome finally decided to break the silence, "Sesshomaru, we should get some rest since there is much to travel with in the morning."
He agreed reluctantly and followed her to her room, he gave her a kiss on the forehead and told her goodnight and then he walked down the hall to his room. Kagome watched him leave and was proud that he was being such a gentleman in all this. And that he was showing such respect for her mother to not do anything in her home. Kagome got undressed and put on her nightgown. She decided that she was not really tired yet so she put on her robe and went downstairs and out the back door.
She sat by the tree that she released InuYasha from. She looked up at the leaves and the branches in the moonlight. The funny thing about this is that she did not think of InuYasha as she sat under the tree, she thought on Sesshomaru. About all of the kind things that he was saying to her, how respectful he was acting towards her, how safe and wonderful she felt in his arms. She smiled to herself and stood up and caressed the spot where InuYasha was on the tree. A soft breeze came to her as she touched the spot where he was shot and the arrow landed in the tree. Her hair blowing to the side with her robe moving with the wind.
"I can finally move on with my life without regrets. Thank you InuYasha, you helped me see the light in the dark, you helped me gain courage when things were so bleak, and the best of all, you gave me your brother." As she said all of this she moved her hand down the tree and finally letting it fall to her side.
She looked down at her feet that were in her slippers. One single tear fell from her eye, "InuYasha, this is the last tear that I shall shed until your death." Kagome looked up and took a deep breath. She turned around and saw her brother Sota standing behind her.
"Kagome, so it is true, you have finally let go of InuYasha without anger and regret. I am sorry for over hearing you and watching you. But the more that I talk to Sesshomaru and get to know him, Kagome I feel that you are going to be more safe with him than you ever had been with InuYasha. I also feel that you are going to be more happy with him too."
Kagome smiled, she moved closer to her brother and hugged him, her head resting just below his shoulders. He had grown up so much while she was gone and she missed seeing him everyday, teasing and messing with her. She loved him so much that it almost hurt her. They walked into the house and went to each other's rooms. Kagome felt so much love and respect from both her brother and her mother for Sesshomaru that she wanted to burst with joy. Kagome fell asleep feeling so happy, happier than she had in a long time.
The next morning Kagome and Sesshomaru met each other again in the garden to watch the sun rise. Her locket shining in the sunlight as it was kissed. She gave her mother and brother a hug and a kiss goodbye before they went to the well. Kagome laughed when she saw all the things at the bottom of the well. She forgot that there was all that stuff down there. Good thing her mother gave her a very large bag to bring all the material and bathing stuff into for easier travel. Sesshomaru took all of the bags over his shoulder with the sewing machine, Kagome grabbed her bathing things and her gifts for Rin, and she looked at him and smiled. They jumped into the well and then they were back in his time. They flew out of the well and were on their way back to his palace. They stopped at Kikyou's house on the way home and told her that she will be ready soon for her to start helping her with the materials. Kikyou agreed and told Kagome to just send a missive and she will be on her way there.
They then started off to the palace; Kagome had Sesshomaru bring all of the things to Kagome's room. Kagome noticed that there was no bed, but she saw that there were 3 large tables in there and a rather medium sized desk on one side of the room. Kagome brought all the stuff inside and looked around amazed at how this room was so different from Sesshomaru's.
"I had this room changed so you and Kikyou could work in here. I had the tables brought in so you could measure out the material precisely and the small desk over there, you can place that sewing thing there and work the material together so it does not have to be done by hand."
Kagome smiled and then rushed into him and gave him a large hug. "Oh thank you Sesshomaru, this is going to be so much fun and you will like what we are going to do. I know that you will. Thank you so much. But, I do have one question for you, where is my bedchambers?"
"I did not know what you wanted to do as of yet so I have not had one put together for you."
Kagome looked at him with a mischievous look on her face. "Oh so you want me to stay in your bedchambers with you while we are here then?"
"If you do not mind Kagome. I assure you that I will be a gentleman at all times."
Kagome laughed and then she heard fast footsteps coming towards the room. "Sesshomaru-sama, Kagome-sama you are home again! Oh this Rin missed you so much!" Rin came sliding into the room. She first went to Sesshomaru and hugged his legs and then ran to Kagome and jumped up into her arms. Kagome laughed and gave the little girl a large hug. "Oh Rin, I missed you so much. I have brought things for you! Now have you been a good girl while we were gone?"
"Oh yes! I have been doing my lessons and Jaken has been so nice to me and everything!" Rin said with enthusiasm.
Kagome let her down to the floor and went rummaging through the bags looking for the things for the little excited child standing behind her. She could not find what she was looking for and she was so upset!
"Sesshomaru, we must have left them at mother's house! I cannot find all those things that I bought for Rin! Oh no, I am so sorry Rin, I did not mean to leave them there at my mother's house." Kagome said her voice sad.
Sesshomaru chuckled and brought out the large bag that she was looking for from behind his back. "Oh are you meaning this bag?"
Kagome's face got all red with anger. She stood up and stomped over to him and looked straight at his face. "How dare you tease me in front of her you meanie!" Kagome said while she pushed him and took the bag.
When Rin saw the bag she started to jump up and down clapping her hands together. "Gifts for Rin! Gifts for Rin!"
Kagome smiled and went over to her and sat down on the floor. Rin moved and sat into her lap to see the goodies in the bag.
Kagome first handed her the two packages of underwear, telling her how to wear them and what they are for. Rin's face contorted a little and Kagome told her that she would get used to them. Then she brought out the special coloring book of animals and flowers along with a 250-count crayon box to go with them. Rin squealed with joy when she saw that she could color the flowers any color that she wanted! Kagome then went into the bag and brought out a necklace with a charm at the end of it. Kagome explained to her that it was her family's insignia on it and Rin put it on right away and told her that she would never take it off. When Kagome brought out the candy, Sesshomaru grabbed it from her hands so quickly that she did not see his hands move. Rin looked up at him and wrinkled her nose.
"No candy until after dinner. I saw what this could do to someone if taken before dinner."
Rin looked at him with wide eyes. "Ok Sesshomaru-sama, I will wait until after dinner."
"Rin, aren't you supposed to be at your lessons at this time?"
"Oh yeah! Promise that we are going to have dinner together. I would like to hear what you guys did while you were gone!" Rin said pointing her little finger and both of them.
Kagome laughed. "I promise that we will have dinner together Rin. I missed you so much."
Rin smiled and then ran down the hall again. Kagome and Sesshomaru heard her fast footsteps down the hall and then the skidding as she tried to stop. Kagome just shook her head as she started to take out the materials and put them on the table. Sesshomaru put the sewing machine on the desk while she did this. When they were done, Kagome sat down on the futon that was in there and stretched out. Sesshomaru came and sat down next to her, he made her lie down and put her head in his lap. He played with her hair as she dozed off to slumber. He would stay there with her while she took a little nap; he knew that it was tiring for her to do all of this.
After about 2 hours of sleep she started to wake. She stretched and found that she was in Sesshomaru's lap still. She turned over and looked up at him. His eyes were closed. She brought her hand up to his face and stroked his cheek, and he opened his eyes.
"Did you have a good sleep Kagome?"
"Yes, I am sorry but I was so tired. All that traveling and the emotional strain of having to leave my family again must have taken a lot out of me. I guess that I really needed that. Thank you."
Kagome sat up and stretched out her arms again. "I am hungry, is it time for dinner yet?"
"If you like we can go and fetch Rin and have dinner."
Kagome smiled and nodded her head. They got up and retrieved Rin and they ate dinner. Rin was so happy that they were back; she was worried because they did not arrive when he said that they would but it was only a day late. At least they came back to her and she was just fine now.
After dinner they spent some time in the garden watching the sun go down and Kagome brought Rin to bed since she was sleeping in her lap in the garden. Rin woke up a little when she was placed in her bed, "You are not going to leave again are you Kagome-sama?"
Kagome brought her hand on the child's forehead and brushed her hair aside, "No Rin, I am not going anywhere right now. I have many things that I would like to do and I do not feel like leaving you at this time."
"Good, because I want you to stay here with me and Sesshomaru-sama." Rin's eyes closed again and soon the child was asleep. Kagome smiled at her innocent little face and kissed her forehead as she left.
Time went on like that every night with Rin. Week after week, Rin would make sure that Kagome would not leave her that night because she needed that extra security. Kagome thought that it was rather cute in a way.
It had been 2 months since that night. Sesshomaru and Kagome continued on with their nightly dates. He would take her to the gardens for picnics, he would travel to the Northern part of his lands for explorations, and even take her on his patrols. And each night, she would still stay in his bedchambers with him like a normal couple. Rin was so happy with them and Jaken was getting used to having her around all the time with Sesshomaru.
Then one night after Kagome left Rin's room, she walked down the hall to Sesshomaru's bedchambers. She went in and found him already there in his bedclothes sitting on the bed with a book in his hands. Kagome smiled and grabbed her bedclothes and went into the bathroom to change. Sesshomaru watched her every move under his bangs. When she disappeared into the bathroom, he got up and put the book down. He then grabbed the flowers that he had Rin put together for him in the garden earlier and hid them behind his back. When she came out of the bathroom she saw him on the bed, but this time sitting on the edge. She put her dirty clothes in the corner and went to him. She raised an eyebrow at him and smirked at him. He smiled back and then presented the flowers to her. She just looked into his eyes with a surprised look on her face, her smirk on her lips moved into a big smile. She took them from him and sniffed in the aroma. She took the flowers into the bathroom and came out with them in a bucket. She had to search for one in there but she found a very large bucket to put them in. She placed it next to the bed on the stand there; she got into bed and cuddled next to Sesshomaru.
"Thank you for the flowers Sesshomaru they are very pretty. But, aren't we past that in our relationship considering that I am here in your bed?" Kagome said as she placed her head on her hand to prop herself up.
"Kagome, everyday that you are here, you are to have fresh flowers presented to you by me." He said as he bent in towards her to give her a kiss.
She smiled at him before his lips touched hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck while he kissed her. Again she teased him by only opening her mouth slightly. He moved on top of her and he grinded his hard manhood on her leg. She moaned in her throat as he did this. She moved her head slightly and opened her mouth all the way open letting his tongue into her mouth. The tip of his tongue exploring all over his mouth, a purr coming from his throat as he took in her taste. She moved her hands down his back scraping him slightly with her nails; she could feel his muscles underneath twitch at her touch.
Sesshomaru released his mouth from hers and looked down at her. Passion was in his eyes and Kagome could see that he wanted her now. She looked away from him exposing her neck to his mouth.
"Sesshomaru, I want you to mate with me tonight. I know that I will never leave your side and that I love you. I want to be with you always." Kagome said with passion dripping off of every word she said to him.
He moved his hand to her chin making her look at him. "Are you sure Kagome? We have only been dating for a short while now."
Kagome looked at him and pushed his head to her mouth, placing soft kisses on his face after each word she spoke. "Sesshomaru, you brought out these feelings in me that I never thought would arise again. Are you going to deny me what I want which is you?"
