Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha but I do have my words! Muhahahaha!
Kagome, InuYasha and Rin came out of the well. Kagome sniffed the air and nothing was around them. InuYasha took off his hiatori and put it on Rin, as the wind was slightly chillier than when they left.
"InuYasha, could you please go and get Ah Un. We will be here waiting."
"Sure Kagome, I will be right back."
When InuYasha was gone, Kagome turned to Rin. "So, how did things go?"
"Things went well. I had a very good rib eye and veggies."
"Umm. That sounds good right now. I have not had one of those in ages it seems. I am sorry about earlier with InuYasha in the gardens. I tried to stop him because I saw the two of you before he did. But, I could not stop him in time."
"That is ok. I am sure that we will have more time for that later. It was nice to just sit there in silence with nothing being said between us. Letting the moon bask us in the light that it was shining down. The flowers in the garden, seemed to be more fragrant tonight than on any of the other nights."
Kagome smiled. "Rin, that is because that was the first time that you noticed them for what they were, not for the appearance. That and I think that you are in love with my brother."
Rin's face blushed when she said this. Kagome waved her hands in front of her. "Do not worry Rin. I am not making fun of you or anything. I think that you two are going to be very happy."
"Well, as long as we can keep InuYasha under control when needed!"
Rin and Kagome laughed and were still laughing when InuYasha returned with Ah Un. Ah Un immediately went to the women without his lead and they started petting him.
"So what is so funny?" InuYasha asked.
"Oh nothing. We were just discussing her date with Sota." Kagome said.
"Oh. Well we better get going. Sesshomaru is going to be mad because we are already late."
Kagome and Rin mounted on Ah Un, with InuYasha in the rear. Or on the rear to be exact! They left the well again, this time, with Rin in the middle of them. Kagome wrapped her tail around her to keep her as warm as possible, and InuYasha wrapped his arms around both women. Rin rested her head on Kagome's back and soon was asleep. Kagome smiled as she did this, "InuYasha, I would be very happy to hear that Kikyou was going to be expecting a pup soon."
Shocked InuYasha just sat there. "Kagome, I do still love you. But I do have to admit that you are willing to move on and that I should as well. I wanted nothing more than to have both of you with me, but that was never a possibility. I do hope that you forgive me to tearing your heart and for you to have to go to Sesshomaru to get it healed."
"InuYasha, I do not regret courting Sesshomaru at all. I do have great feelings for him and I know that you do with Kikyou. I just wish that you would be able to move on with Kikyou without regrets and hard feelings about our past. I still love you just not like that anymore. We are family now and I wish that you would take that to heart and get used to me being with your older brother. We are going to be together for a very long time now. Please try to understand this."
"I will Kagome. I just don't want you to get hurt. I understand that he has changed a lot with you being there with him."
"Yeah, I guess that he has. Ah Un, it is getting colder, I promise that I will give each of you a chocolate bar if we get home faster."
Ah Un grunted and started to go faster.
InuYasha was shocked, "Kagome, you are going to spoil this dragon if you keep making promises like this. He is only going to like you and no one else."
"That is ok, he is already like that anyways!" Kagome said looking behind her and smiling.
InuYasha smiled back at her and held on to them a little harder. It was not much longer when they reached InuYasha's house and then they headed to their home. As they landed, Kagome looked up at the palace and saw Sayla standing in the doorway with blankets waiting for them. Kagome smiled and waved at her, she waved back. They dismounted and she noticed that Koarau was there ready to take Ah Un to his new stable.
"Koarau, please take these chocolate bars for me. After you are done bringing him to the stables, please give them these. They were very good and did as they promised for me."
"Very well Kagome, I am happy that you made it back with Rin safely."
"Thank you Koarau, I am happy to be home."
Kagome took Rin up the stairs and wrapped her in a blanket and did the same to herself. She hugged Sayla, "Thank you for the blankets Sayla. That was very considerate of you to do that."
"That is no problem Kagome. I just hope that you two do not come down sick from the chilly weather."
"Well still, that was very kind of you. Could you please go and make sure that Rin's room is warm and that she has tea there for her to drink before resting? And if you could, please send some to my room also?"
"Yes, I will go and do that now." Sayla said and then left the two women standing there in the entryway.
Kagome hugged Rin and then they made their way to Rin's bedchambers.
"Rin, now you get some rest tonight. We are home rather late and we have much to do tomorrow. You have missed a lot of lessons; we have the wedding to start planning and the construction on the houses. We need those done before winter comes."
"Ok Kagome. Good night."
Kagome gave her a kiss on her forehead, "Good night honey." Then she started off to her and Sesshomaru's bedchambers.
"Hey Kagome!" Rin said quickly.
Kagome turned to her, "Yes?"
"Thanks. Thanks for bringing me over to your time and for tonight."
"You are very welcome Rin. Now off to bed with you and drink your tea."
"I will."
Kagome smiled as she saw Rin shut the door. She turned around and went through her own after she saw Sayla with her tea. She grabbed it from her and entered the room. She shut the door and turned to see Sesshomaru sitting on the bed reading a book. He glanced over the top of the book as Kagome set down the tray of tea and went into the bathroom. He had prepared fresh hot water for her to wash her face. She came out wearing her light blue silk nightgown. He had poured her tea while she was in there and she took it and sipped the warm liquid. She looked out the window; Sesshomaru set the book down on the nightstand and grabbed the rose that he picked from the garden when he came home earlier. He moved to her and brushed the rose against her cheek, she turned around to face him and smiled. She took the rose and smelled the sweet scent that was escaping. He took her cup from her and set it down; he wrapped his arms around her and brought his head down to her neck. He sniffed and then licked his mark and then moved his mouth to her plump and inviting lips. He licked the outer edge of them and then enclosed his mouth over hers. A small whimper came from her throat as she wrapped her arms around his waist, drawing him closer to her. Their tails intertwined together as they made their way to the bed, still in each other's arms. They stopped when they reached the side of the bed; she unlocked her arms that were around him. With one swift move, she removed his pants throwing them to the side. He raised a silver eyebrow at her and he moved his hands to her shoulders, cutting each strap that held her nightgown on her body. It fell to the floor revealing her naked body.
"I think that we are going to need to make more bed clothes Lord Sesshomaru."
"I think that we do not need them when we are in here Lady Kagome."
She smiled as he laid her down on the bed. For the next few hours, they enjoyed each other's bodies like it was the first time discovering them. Kagome and Sesshomaru slept soundly that night, not one thing disturbing them as the moon passed over the palace.
In the morning, Kagome woke up to an empty bed. Looking around and sniffing the air, she found that it was not long before that he had left. She smiled as she got her things together to take a bath, walking around naked she looked at the rose that he gave her last night. She sniffed the sweet aroma and placed the rose in the book that he was reading, pressing it flat so she could always have it. There was a knock at the door and she quickly put her robe on.
"Come in Koarau."
He came in and bowed to her, "Kagome, I have the house plans for you to look over. Lord Sesshomaru requested that I do this before we start on them."
He handed her the plans and she sat down at the desk, clearly excited to see them. She looked them over and make slight changes and handed the missive back to him.
"I have made only small changes. I hope that you agree with them since your house is going to be one that is being built Koarau." She said smiling.
"I will bring the finished missive back to your sewing room for you to have so you are able to make the right number of things for the houses."
"Thank you Koarau. I am going to start on them this afternoon after lunch. I was also wondering if you could let your sister know that I am going to need Rin after lunch each day until the wedding, so she is going to have to modify her lessons in the morning."
"I will inform her of that also. I also wanted to let you know that Lord Kouga would like to have a meeting with you in the great hall when you are able."
"Please let him know that I will meet him in Sesshomaru's study in one hour. I do not want this discussion in the great hall."
"As you wish Kagome." Koarau bowed and left quickly before she could tell him to quit bowing at her. He knew that she did not want to be treated any different from anyone else but with her being with Lord Sesshomaru, habits are very hard to change for the demon. He headed to Rin's room to inform his sister of the lesson changes and then he went to find Lord Kouga.
Kagome grabbed all her stuff and went to the hot spring. She hugged the guards that were there and talked to them briefly before going in and washing. After getting dressed she went to the new stables to look them over. She saw Ah Un in there and petted his heads. She was happy that they had more room to lie down and relax. She also noticed that their feeding boxes were larger and this time there were large buckets in the stalls for the fresh water. She also noticed that there were three empty stalls in the stables, she wondered what they were for and then made a mental note to ask Sesshomaru about it later on. She went back into the palace and headed towards Sesshomaru's study. She was at the door and hesitated slightly before walking in. She looked around and saw that he was not in there yet and she sat down behind the large desk. She closed her eyes and waited.
The door opened and Kouga looked at Kagome, her eyes were closed as she relaxed on the pillow behind the desk. He closed the door quietly and sat down on one of the pillows in front of the desk.
"Hello Kouga. How are you doing this fine day?" Kagome asked, her eyes still closed.
"I am fine Kagome. Thank you for agreeing to me meet without Sesshomaru present."
"Hold on please Kouga."
She opened her eyes, got up and walked to a group of extra pillows in the corner. She kicked them and all they could hear was, "OMPH!"
Jaken fell out of the pillows slightly dazed from Kagome's actions. "Jaken, leave us."
"But this is Lord Sesshomaru's study, not yours."
Kagome started to get angry and her eyes changed as she glared at the toad demon, "Jaken I said now!"
He looked up at her and bowed at her. "I…I am sorry Lady Kagome. I will leave now."
He ran to the door and she could hear him running away from the study. She knew that he was going to go and get Sesshomaru and tell him what was going on. She was fine with that because she was sure that he already knew of the meeting between her and Kouga. She went and sat down again and smiled at Kouga as her eyes went back to brown again. He just stared at her; She is so beautiful now. More than before and her eyes were such a brilliant pink when she got angry.
"So Kouga, what did you want to see me about?"
"I was wondering if you are truly serious on marrying Sesshomaru?"
"I am, and as you can see Kouga, I have accepted his mark and we have mated. I am very happy right now with him."
"I just worry about you with him. He is as cold as ice with others but I have noticed that with you, he is so soft and sweet."
"Kouga, everyone has another side to them, and Sesshomaru's softer side is more sweet and loving than he lets on. He is rather a very loving demon. He is only cold to others when the need arises as I am. Kouga my life has changed so much in these last 4 years that I am amazed that I am still alive. With fighting Naraku day and night, with using the jewel for pure wishes and then destroying it, seeing InuYasha and Kikyou wed, and now getting married myself. I still think that sometimes this is all a dream and I do not want to wake up."
Kouga got up and walked over to her, she got up and they embraced. "Kouga I am fine with Sesshomaru, I love him and he loves me. I would not anything to change right now. I am hoping that you can accept this like InuYasha has."
Kouga released the embrace reluctantly and looked into her eyes, "Kagome, I care about you and I do accept that you are with Sesshomaru and not me. I am happy and making a strong pack with Aiayme now and I will live on to see all of us grow old and our children to play together."
Kagome smiled and hugged him again. "Oh thank you Kouga. You are such a great friend!"
Sesshomaru walked in at that moment. His eyes flared red as he saw that Kouga's arms were wrapped around his mate. HIS MATE! He stood there waiting to see what else was going to transpire between the two friends. He knew that Kouga wanted to see her before he goes back to his palace where his mate was waiting for him.
Kagome broke the hug from Kouga, "Kouga, you are such a great friend to me by accepting my love for Sesshomaru. I would like to know if Aiayme is still here with you?"
"No she went back to our home yesterday after you came back."
"Oh, I was wondering if she would be an attendant at my wedding. I like her and always have. I am happy that you and her hooked up!"
Kouga laughed and suddenly stopped when he felt Sesshomaru's cold hand on his shoulder. He did not notice that he was there listening to them and was wondering how much he heard. He turned to Sesshomaru and bowed to him. Sesshomaru nodded his head and walked to Kagome and kissed her forehead where their insignias were.
"Lord Kouga, I am happy that you had the chance to clear things up between you and Kagome. They are cleared up now aren't they?"
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru, things are good now. I am over my initial shock from yesterday. I am heading home now and Kagome, I will ask Aiayme if she would like to do that for you." Kouga said as he bowed to them. He started for the door but stopped when Sesshomaru called his name again. He looked down at his feet and then turned around and faced them with a smile.
"Lord Kouga, I would also like for you to be an attendant at our wedding. As long as you and my brother can get along that is." Sesshomaru said.
"I would be honored Lord Sesshomaru, our families have been linked together since our fathers were young. I will behave like a true Lord on your wedding day." Kouga said.
"Very good." Sesshomaru said.
"Goodbye Kouga! Let Aiayme that she should come here in one week. I will need her for a few days and you are to be here a few days before the wedding also!" Kagome said happily.
Kouga smiled and bowed at them again. "I will make sure of that Kagome." Kouga went out of the study and left for his home. He was happy that he was able to see Kagome happy again. He had not seen that happy gleam in her eyes in some time.
Kagome turned to Sesshomaru and wrapped her arms around him.
"Sesshomaru, thank you for doing that for me."
"I did nothing at all for you Kagome."
"You did. You asked him to part of our wedding."
"I have asked him, InuYasha and your own brother Sota to be part of our wedding. Miroku is going to be the royal attendant that is going to be marrying us. Myoga is going to be there to bear witness of the royal wedding."
Kagome's eyes got big, "You have asked that many people already! You are way ahead of me!"
"Well, it helps to not sleep the day away Kagome."
Kagome hit him playfully on his chest, "That is not fair Sesshomaru!"
"I hope that things went well with Sota and Rin last night? I noticed that you were a little late on coming back, what happened?"
Sesshomaru sat down and he pulled Kagome into his lap while she told him what happened.
"So he transformed and went into a fighting stance to protect himself against InuYasha?"
"Yeah, it was rather scary. I could feel his jaki rise much higher than I have ever felt it. It was like he was ready to kill InuYasha for touching him!"
"All because he embraced Rin in the garden on the bench right?"
"Yes, I had seen them in there when we left the well shrine. I tried to catch InuYasha quickly but I was not quick enough."
"Interesting. And what did InuYasha do?"
"He stood there and then went into the same fight stance and matched Sota's jaki."
"Who stopped them from fighting?"
"Mother stopped them. She was not happy when she heard InuYasha yelling at the top of his lungs at Sota. Sota remained calm and talked softly."
"Your mother has guts to get into the middle of two demons getting ready to fight."
"She was transformed already and she was watching what Sota and Rin were doing from the time that they got back from the movies."
"So, they did nothing but embrace then."
"Well, he gave her a kiss on the cheek goodbye before we left. He was very respectful to her."
"Very good. I just hope that he is able to get things done while they are apart. I have to admit Kagome, this is an odd courting. Between two time and two very different children."
"Sesshomaru, what kind of plans do you have for Sota?"
"Now why are you asking me that?"
"Because I have the feeling that you are not going to let him go back to his time after he comes here for the wedding."
"Well of course I am not, he already told us that him and mother are going to stay for a while."
"Sesshomaru, you know what I mean."
"Alright, right now he is making plans with the family lawyer to have the shrine and the house taken care of while they are gone. He is making sure that the lands are being put in our names, yours, Sota's, and mine. Your mother has agreed to this and they are drawing up the papers for us to sign when we get back. In the event of you and me dying, the house and the lands go to Sota. We are putting our names on there since he is not of age yet in your world to be considered as an adult, that is the reason why we are involved. The family of the maid that helps your mother out is controlling all the bills and the cleaning of the shrine. They are going to be staying there in the summer and in the winter; it is going to be silent. There is going to be a trust fund opened for the bills and for paying the maid and her family to keep things in order for us. She is going to have to present the bills to the bank before any money is being taken out of the bank. So there is not going to be any deceiving done while we are gone. She is going to understand that we might stop by every now and then to make sure that things are going ok."
"And why was I not told about this earlier?"
"Because really you have no say in something like this. This was your brother's idea, he brought it up in the study after we gave them our permission to court."
"Oh really. So he is planning on staying here much longer than I thought then. So, what was the original reason for going to the study Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked as she reached up and stroked his cheek.
He moved slightly because her actions were getting him aroused and he still had many things to do today. "I wanted to lay down the rules about Rin before they left that evening."
"Rules? And what rules are those?"
"Kagome, he does not know the ways of our world. It was my duty to teach him what is expected from him since he is now considered a Lord in our time."
"Yeah and I don't either so what kind of rules did you set upon my brother Sesshomaru?" She said teasingly as she moved her hand under his shirt of his hiatori. She knew that she was driving him nuts but she wanted the information and if this was the only way of getting it, she was going to do it.
He closed his eyes for a moment while her fingers explored the layout of his chest. She had loosened his hiatori so it was almost all the way open and now her fingers were going all over his chest.
"Kagome, please stop. I cannot concentrate while you are doing that."
"I am doing nothing. I am just waiting for you to answer my question."
"Kagome, I will make you pay for your actions if you do not stop."
"Sesshomaru, there is nothing that you can do to me. I will stop when I want to stop. Your body is mine now and I can do whatever I want to it."
"I will remember those words Kagome."
"So are you going to answer my question? What are the rules Sesshomaru?"
"There was to be no touching between the two of them that is even slightly hentai, he was to keep his mouth to himself, he was to say only respectful things to her and treat her like a true lady of the house. That they are not to do anything where she might be in danger at all either."
Sesshomaru growled and took her hand out of his shirt. He looked down at her and she smiled. He lost his control and he transformed, she saw this and knew that she went a little too far.
God! At this rate, he is going to get his way and get me pregnant. Not that I am minding all of the mating!
He wrapped his mouth on hers and pulled open her kimono, exposing her breasts. He put his mouth on one while massaging the other one with his hand. She moaned in delight of his actions and she moved her hands and released the rest of hiatori, ripping it off of him and throwing it. She then released the tie on his pants and with her tail; she removed them off of his body, exposing his hardened manhood. He felt her do this and he moved his mouth in between her breasts, down her tummy until he reached the tie for her kimono pants. He used both hands to rip them off of her, exposing a furry patch of hair in front of his face.
He smiled as he sniffed the spot that was exposed to him. She moaned in delight when he started to lick her softly. He moved with such grace and such love. The smell that she was giving off to him while he was manipulating her love nub was intoxicating him.
She is so sweet smelling and the taste is like sweet apples! I did not think that she would be this tasty. It is like eating an apple without having to bite down and chewing. Her juices that are coming into my mouth as she climaxed where even more sweet! I will have to make sure that I do this more often!
Kagome climaxed in his mouth, she moved her hips closer when she did. He took in the full motion and dug his tongue in further for a better taste of her. He then got up and moved to the side of her, repositioning a pillow under her head as he pulled up behind her. He moved one arm under her waist and he took his hand to her leg. He pulled her leg up to her shoulder and then he slowly entered her. Thrusting slightly inside of her to slowly tease her like she did to him with her hands earlier. She growled at him and he growled back, she wanted him to thrust more into her and he was not allowing it. She moved her hips backwards towards him and he moved slightly away. She turned her head at him and sneered, and all he did was smile.
As he smiled at her, he thrust into her all the way; she jerked her head back and moaned with pleasure. He kissed her neck as she laid her head on the pillow; his thrusting never stopped or changed speed either. She moved farther back into him and made him lie down on his back as she mounted him. She was now in a sitting position with him inside of her, her back to his chest as she moved her hips, making him go deeper into her. As she did this, he moaned and grabbed her hips, he held them in one spot as he thrusted up deeper into her. She moaned and moved her head backwards, her hair cascading down her back as the sweat started to form on her forehead. Sesshomaru could feel himself starting to lose control as she started to release from his grasp, he let her go and do what she wanted with him further. He decided that it was feeling way too good to release his seed just yet.
Kagome was happy that he released her hips, she started moving up and down slowly on his hard shaft, she decided to excite things a little more, so she kept going up and down but she added on rolling her hips in circles. First one way and then the other, slowly as she went up and down on him, she could hear his pants getting faster as she did this to him. She also decided that she would clamp down on him a little as she did this, his purring got more consistent as she continued. She smiled as she turned around on him, now facing him; she bent down and gave him a kiss. She could feel herself getting closer to orgasm and he was really starting to lose control, he flipped her over and decided that he was going to finish this once and for all.
He started to thrust harder into her, demanding to be relieved of the pressure that was holding him; she moved down slightly as his pounding got more and more harder. Her moans were getting louder as she dug her nails into his back and hips. He bent to her neck and licked his mark; his eyes were as red as blood but heated with such passion. She moved her hand to the back of his neck and pushed his face into her neck, wanting him to mark her again. She moved his hair away from her mark as her eyes started to roll back, she moved quickly to her mark and bit down hard as she felt the shivers roll through her body as she climaxed. He felt her mark and he instantly marked her back, as he did this; he released his seed into her. Pushing as far as he could into her as he released the pressure that was holding him. Her blood was sweet with a tang of saltiness from the sweat on her skin; he licked up the remaining traces of the blood that was there and he looked at her. Her eyes were back to brown as she was coming down from the high that she received from her climax, she was trying to catch her breath while he kissed her forehead, her cheek and then finally her lips. He laid down beside her on another pillow and brushed the hair off her face that was stuck there from the sweat.
He pulled her to him, her head resting on his chest. She could hear his heartbeat as she rubbed her nail around his nipple.
"Kagome, we really shouldn't have done this in the middle of the day. I do have a lot of things to do."
"I know. I guess that you can say that I could not help myself this time." She said as she looked up at him smiling.
He brought her into a tight hug and then released her. "Thank you for the "lunch" though. I was in need of a break. The plans for the houses are finalized now and we have started working on them. Everyone is in an uproar over everything. You have created much excitement over this request."
"Good, I am glad that. Now you are going to have to make it an appoint to come to me during the day to relieve the stress that is built up."
He raised a silver eyebrow at her, "And what am I do to at the end of the night when the stress is there again Kagome?"
"I guess that we will just have to take care of that also." She said smirking at him.
"I had better get going. I really do not want to but we have things to do."
"Oh I know. I have to send a missive to get Kikyou over here so we can start on the wedding plans and the curtains."
Sesshomaru reluctantly got up and started to look for his clothes. He found them and they were ripped, Kagome's face got a little red when she saw that. She then also started to find her clothes a little ripped in places also and she looked at him.
"Sesshomaru, we have a slight problem."
"Yes, I can see that. I will go and get us some clothes. Wait here and I will be back."
"Ok. I want the green kimono today! Since you ruined my blue one."
Sesshomaru chuckled as he left the study. Kagome sat there and then started to write her missive. Kagome could smell that Koarau was outside, she went to the door and opened it slightly, "Koarau, please send this to Kikyou as soon as possible. And please have some lunch delivered here for Sesshomaru and I."
"Very well Kagome." He said as he took the missive and left. Kagome sat back down on the pillows when there was a knock at the door. Kagome got up and peeked out.
"Oh hi. Um. Can you just wait and see me in the great hall in about 30 minutes?"
"Yes, I will see you then."
"Thanks!"
Kagome was about to leave the door when Sayla came with their food. Kagome smiled and took the tray and shut the door. She placed the tray on the desk and sat down waiting for Sesshomaru to return with her clothes. It was not long after that, which he arrived at the door with her clothes. She told him to come and eat a real lunch with her and he did. They sat together with her on his lap as they ate. She was still naked because she was so hungry. He fed her some strawberries that they brought back with them from mothers; it was such a cute sight to see. He was being ever so gentle in placing it carefully in her mouth as she took her bite. She did the same for him and he found that he loved the little fruit and told her that she should see if they could grow some here in their gardens. She chuckled and said that they will try to find some plants when they go back. After they were done with the strawberries, Sesshomaru helped Kagome get dressed. Slowly caressing her skin in some places, making her growl at him.
"I am only trying to help you Kagome."
"Sesshomaru, some how your hands are finding ways to touch me in the most interesting places. I do have to admit that you must have Miroku here teaching you his hentai ways!"
"Actually Sango and Miroku just pulled up from the smell of it. I think that Kouga and Aiayme are here too. InuYasha is now helping me with the houses, and I do believe that you sent the missive for Kikyou right?"
"Yeah I did. Sesshomaru, thank you for a very wonderful lunch today." Kagome said as she wrapped her arms around him, giving him a kiss goodbye.
"I will see you at dinner. We will have dinner in the great hall since we have guests."
"OK!"
Sesshomaru turned to leave and she slapped his butt and smiled. He shook his head at her and left. Kagome went to their room and cleaned up a bit before going to the great hall. She opened up the doors and saw that Aiayme was sitting there talking with Sango.
"Kagome?" Sango asked.
"SANGO!" Kagome said as she went to her adopted sister and gave her a hug.
"Kagome, you look so different! What happened?" Sango asked.
Kagome told them to sit down because it was a long story. After they sat, she continued on telling them how the courting went very well and that they went and visited mother and got her blessing, then came back here and they got closer. Then finally mating and she accidentally marking him at the same time as he did and how she changed like this. Then going back to mothers for an explanation and what a fucking explanation they received. Sango and Aiayme just sat there stunned in their seats listening to Kagome telling her story of what has been happening.
"Kagome, has Miroku saw you yet?"
"Nope. I just had some lunch with Sesshomaru."
"Yeah, I can tell that it was quite the lunch too Kagome!" Aiayme said snickering.
"Oh shut up!" Kagome said laughing. "Come on, let's get to my sewing room and start things."
"Oh and that is what Sesshomaru probably said!"
"Will you please stop!"
Kagome got up while Aiayme and Sango were laughing. They finally stopped and got up themselves and followed Kagome to the sewing room.
"Kikyou should be here soon to help us also. Now, I was wondering.." Kagome started saying as she saw the missive of the finalized plans on her desk. She went and grabbed them and found that each house is going to have 8 windows in them. She told the others this and then they started picking out fabrics that they were going to use. They had decided to use the silver in the living rooms, the white in the kitchens, and the blue in the bathroom and bedrooms. After they separated the colors for each room there was a knock at the door, Kikyou poked her head in and smiled.
"I am here. I am sorry that I am late. I was busy with lunch." Kikyou said softly as she closed the door.
Kagome and Aiayme looked at each other and then started laughing.
"Gosh between you and Kagome you two are going to be expecting pups soon! From the smell of both of you, you two should go and wash up!" Aiayme said.
Sango laughed and Kagome hit Aiayme in the shoulder. Kikyou just stood there and blushed. She did not think that they would be able to smell InuYasha's seed on her but apparently she was not the only one walking around with the smell of seed on her.
"I see that you two had a wonderful lunch Kagome." Kikyou said.
"Yes, it was rather plentiful." Kagome said laughing.
"Ok, ok. I think that it is best that we get going on these curtains, we still have a wedding to plan for also you know!" Sango said.
"Oh you are just mad because you did not get laid before you got here!" Aiayme said pointed out to Sango.
"Actually I did but I think that I was the only smart one of us to bathe before coming over here!" Sango said with her hands on her hips.
Kagome laughed and soon Aiayme and Kikyou joined in. It was not long before Kagome was measuring out the material, Kikyou was cutting it out, Aiayme was pressing the seams down and Sango was sewing them up. Kagome counted out that there was going to be 32 new houses to be put up, and 13 of them to be remodeled. They were going to have to make 365 curtains for the houses before the wedding. Sango, Aiayme and Kikyou just looked at her like she was nuts. There was a knock at the door and Rin came in smiling.
"Hi guys! I am sorry that I am late. We were working out a new lesson schedule for me so I can help you guys get things done."
"So, how was your date with Sota Rin?" Sango asked.
Rin's face went red and she looked at Kagome. "You told them!"
"I told them nothing. I only told them that you went out on a date with him and that was it. Nothing more." Kagome explained.
"So are you going to tell us what you did and how much fun you had or what Rin!" Sango asked excitedly.
While they started working more on the curtains, Rin was telling the ladies what happened on her date with Sota. Kagome just mostly listened while the others were asking questions and stuff with Rin. By the time that they were finished for the night, they were able to get ½ of the blue ones done for the houses. Kagome was rather proud of herself. She showed Aiayme and Sango where they were staying so they could go and get ready for dinner. Kikyou went home real quick to get ready while Rin and Kagome cleaned up the room some more so they could just get to work the next day.
"Kagome, did you ask Sesshomaru the reason for accepting the courting between Sota and I?"
"I did."
"Well, what was the reason?"
"I think that he might have ulterior reasons for wanting Sota here besides courting you."
"Like what? Is he going to make him one of his soldiers?"
"I think so. Because they are making up legal papers right now for the shrine to be taken care off all times of the year for a while. Like for a long time!"
"OH! Well, that is interesting news."
"Yeah, just don't let him know that I told you. I do not think that he wants you to know. Truthfully, I don't think that he wanted me to know about it!"
"You pried it out of him didn't you."
"Yeah, I guess that you can say that!" Kagome said laughing a little.
"Yeah I know that you have your evil ways!"
"Oh now they are not evil! Now come on, we have to bathe before dinner."
"Ok, I will go and get my stuff and meet you at the hot spring."
"Ok, sounds like a plan Rin." Kagome said as she watched her leave for her room. Kagome smiled. Yeah I have my evil ways. But I have the feeling that he does not mind at all at my methods.
Kagome walked to her own bedchambers that she shared with Sesshomaru and grabbed her formal kimono and her bathing things and headed out to the hot spring. By the time that she got there, Sango and Aiayme were there bathing as well. Kagome laughed as she got in, "I thought that you had already bathed before coming over Sango?"
"Oh I did but my back has been killing me lately and it sounded good."
"Sango, when was the last time that you bled?" Aiayme asked her.
Rin's eyes got big, hoping that Sango was expecting a child.
"Just last week. But I think that standing today did me in."
Kagome watched as Rin's eyes got sad and started washing.
"Rin, were you hoping that she was going to say something else?"
"Yeah. I would like to see another one born soon before I get too old to play with it!"
Kagome helped Rin with the conditioner, "I know that you want another baby to play with. Especially since Shippo has not been around lately. But, I am sure that you will get your wish soon enough."
"Is that mean that you are going to become pregnant soon Kagome?" Aiayme asked.
"I don't know just yet. I would like to get the houses done and the wedding finished first before anything else right now."
"Oh. Well maybe Kikyou and InuYasha will have the first one out of us!" Sango said.
"Yeah, they really should be the first ones! Especially considering they were the first ones married out of the bunch!" Kagome said laughing.
"Well, you know that InuYasha was still put out about you. He was rather sad for a while after the wedding because of the scene that you made."
"I know. We talked about it on the way to get Rin yesterday. I told him that it was about time that he get over it and move on like I have. I told him that I would like to see him have a pup with Kikyou. I also told him that he should accept that one day Sesshomaru and I are going to have some too!"
"Well that is good. I am glad that the both of you got that out of your system!"
"Yeah but you should have seen his face the day that he saw me like this!"
"It was that good huh?"
"Oh yeah!"
Kagome, and the others started laughing. Rin was starting to get her untangled and was having issues, so Sango came over to her and started to help her.
"You know Kagome, we haven't talked about any wedding plans as of yet." Aiayme said.
"Yeah I know. I have the feeling that is going to be the topic tonight at dinner."
"There you go Rin. All finished." Sango said smiling.
"Thank you Sango."
As they finished up in the hot spring, they got out and started to get dressed. Kagome helped Rin with her new formal kimono. It was more like Kagome's now that Rin's figure was starting to fill out a little more. Kagome noticed that she is soon going to start having Rin wear a bra and some regular underwear. Kagome was going to have her start wearing some soon because she knew that her period was going to start. After they were all dressed and ready, they all walked back to the palace. Kagome and Rin stopped and got some flowers for the table and told them that they would see them there. Aiayme and Sango waved goodbye and continued to their rooms.
After getting some flowers, they walked into the palace, gave Sayla the flowers for the great hall and went to Rin's room to do her hair. Kagome carefully put in some easy rollers to make her hair flip under and waited for it to dry. In the meantime, Kagome put her hair back into a long braid, letting it fall on her back. When Rin's hair was dry, Kagome took out the rollers and carefully brushed it just right, like the night she went out with Sota. Rin was pleased that Kagome was doing this all for her again. She made a mental thought that she was going to have to learn how to do it so Kagome doesn't have to every time.
When they were finished getting ready, Kagome and Rin started off for the great hall. Sesshomaru met them in the hallway just before going in. He hugged both women and took Kagome's hand and they entered the great hall. Sango and Miroku, Kouga and Aiayme and InuYasha and Kikyou were all in there. Miroku's mouth fell open and Sango closed it for him when he saw Kagome. Sesshomaru saw this and raised an eyebrow and then they all sat down.
"Miroku, I see that you are having issues keeping your mouth closed." Sesshomaru said.
"Um, yes, well. I have not seen Kagome yet and this is quite a shocker for me." Miroku explained.
"Yes well make sure that your hentai hands stay to yourself when in her presence."
"Oh, I have my Sango here for that." Miroku said while he caressed Sango's bottom.
She loudly slapped his face, "Can you please while we are with guests!"
Everyone started laughing while he rubbed his cheek. "Yes Sango."
Food and drink started to arrive while they talked about the construction of the houses. They started to eat when Kagome just started talking out of the blue.
"Aiayme, Kikyou, Sango, and Rin, I was wondering if you would attend my wedding as my bridesmaids." Kagome said before taking another mouthful of food.
Sango smiled behind her bowl of rice, Kikyou stopped eating all together, Aiayme looked at Kouga, and Rin said yes without hesitation.
"Yes and InuYasha, Kouga, Miroku, I would like for you to attend the wedding on the men's side with me. But Miroku, you already know that you are the royal attendant for me. Sota has already accepted as he was asked before we left Kagome's time." Sesshomaru said as he took a sip of his tea.
"Kagome, you know that InuYasha and I will certainly do our part in the wedding." Kikyou said.
"Yes and you know that I will while Miroku does the attendant thing for you." Sango said smiling.
"Kagome, Aiayme and I will be honored to be in your wedding to Sesshomaru." Kouga said.
Kagome squealed with delight! "See I told you that we were going to talk about it tonight!"
For the rest of the night they had decided that they were going to wear silver kimono's for the women and dark blue for the men. Sesshomaru called in Sayla to tell her to get the measurements done before tomorrow so they could work on that while the ladies work on the curtains and the men on the construction. She nodded her head and smiled at Kagome before leaving.
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome, "Now what was that all about Kagome?"
"Oh all that was already done when they arrived. She just did not tell anyone the reason for measuring them."
"Once again you have surprised me."
"That was the reason for getting so much material. I just used the excuse of doing things when I might get bored."
"Hmmm. Interesting. I will keep that in mind the next time that you want to go shopping."
"Oh no! Now you are in trouble Kagome!" Sango said laughing and pointing at her.
"Oh shut up Sango!" Kagome spat at her.
Kagome looked to her left and found that Rin was starting to get sleepy, "Rin would you like to be excused so you can get some rest for the night?"
"Yeah, I am sorry but I am still beat. I guess that I did not get that much sleep last night."
"That is ok. Go to bed and get some rest." Kagome said while she gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Rin smiled and got up and hugged Sesshomaru and waved to everyone else before going out the door. She headed for her room and when she got there, she changed and sat down on her bed. She grabbed the rose that Sota gave her and held it to her chest as she closed her eyes. It was not long after that, that she was sleeping soundly.
"She really is starting to grow up now isn't she?" Sango said after Rin left.
"Yeah, I cannot believe how quickly she has matured."
"I love how you did her hair! That is really cute Kagome!" Kikyou pointed out.
"Thank you. I really thought that it was time for a change."
"Yeah, it seems like only yesterday when we first saw her with Sesshomaru." InuYasha said.
"Oh Kagome, did Sesshomaru tell you that we were able to get 4 of the houses remodeled already today? So they are ready for their curtains when you are finished with them." Kouga said.
"Oh yay! We will have to go there tomorrow and look at the changes while you guys put them up for us. That is really great and fast!"
"Yeah, everyone is really helping us quickly. We would like to get this done before winter gets here." InuYasha said.
"Well then it is settled. Around mid-morning, we will gather the curtains that we have done and we will go out there and look."
"Sounds great Kagome." Sango said.
They talked for a while longer before dispersing into their rooms for the night. Sesshomaru had a room done for Kikyou and InuYasha if they wanted to stay and they said that they would bring things tomorrow to stay for a while. Sesshomaru agreed and they went to their bedchambers. Kagome went to the bathroom and changed while Sesshomaru changed and sat down on the bed. Kagome came out and smiled at him as she got into bed next to him. He turned to face her and presented a rose from the floral arrangement in the great hall. She smiled and took it from him. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him deeply. Time seemed to stop for them as they made love. They were connected like soul mates forever and not one thing was going to change that. The rose was forgotten on the nightstand as they slept.
