Alright! I am glad that you liked that last chapter of nothing but hot steamy sex and sweet endings to their first official night together. There is nothing more heart warming then saying your final goodbyes to the ones that you hold dear to your heart. And whew! (fans self) I could not believe the intensity of the moment!
In the last chapter:
Sesshomaru and Kagome enjoy their first mating as official mates. They say their final goodbyes to Lord Tachido, his mother, Izzy, Shakea, and to Kagome's father.
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha but I do have my words! Muhahahaha!
During the next few months, things at the Tachido household were so busy. Christmas was soon coming to past and there were giant trees brought in with decorating that had to be done. Kagome was so happy during that time because she knew that soon, she was going to produce another pup. InuYasha and Kikyou were also getting rather excited since this was the first Christmas that they were going to experience. Kagome made sure that everyone was going to attend. She sent out invitations to Sango and Miroku, Kohaku and Kanna, InuYasha and Kikyou, Kouga and Aiayme, and Akoro. Sesshomaru could not understand the whole thrill of the Christmas but after Kagome explained to him what it was about, he agreed to it happily. He was willing to do anything to keep her happy now that she was his wife, his mate and his only one.
Sota and Rin during these months have grown closer. Sesshomaru made sure that Sherlene and himself taught Kagome and Sota on how to control themselves while they are in their demon forms. Kayer was also teaching Sota more on archery while Kagome was to meditate for long hours to keep her emotions in control. During the time while Sota was away training, Rin spent her days with Sheila who would teach her many things about being a woman. Rin was getting used to getting her periods now each month and Kagome sometimes got angry when she got hers. She was so hoping to have an announcement of having a pup soon but each month she got disappointed. A couple of days before Christmas their guests arrived at the palace. Kagome got all excited and she ran to the front doors when she smelled them coming. The winter has been very cruel to the lands this year and she wanted to make sure that they did not get cold while waiting for someone to open the doors. So she went down there herself and greeted them.
Kagome opened the door and found Aiayme standing there with Kouga close behind her. Sesshomaru sent the carriage and Ah Un to them so they would not succumb to the cold while traveling. Especially since Aiayme was close to giving birth.
"Aiayme!" Kagome said as she wrapped her arms around the expanding woman before her.
"Kagome, it is so nice of you to invite us." Aiayme said, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Now you don't have to get all emotional again Aiayme." Kouga said to her as he came up behind them.
"Hello Kouga." Kagome said with a smile.
"Come in and have some tea to warm you up." Sheila said taking Aiayme's arm and bringing her to the great hall.
Kagome and Kouga just stood there. Kouga closed the door and looked at her.
"How are things since the wedding Kagome?"
"Things have never been better. How are things with you and Aiayme?"
"They are well. She tells me and makes me feel her belly each time something happens."
"Are you going to be staying here now until her birth next month?"
"I have to talk to Sesshomaru about that."
"Well, come and warm up in the great hall with some tea. InuYasha and Kikyou are on their way. Sango and Miroku went to go and get Kohaku and Kanna." Kagome said as she wrapped her arm around his and walked to the great hall.
As they entered the great hall, they could hear Sheila telling Aiayme about the developments that Sango was having with her pregnancy.
"So when did she finally tell Miroku that they were expecting?" Aiayme asked.
"She finally told him the day after the wedding. He got so excited that he ran outside in his night pants yelling and screaming." Sheila said laughing.
"It was rather funny because he came back in after about 5 minutes of running around like a mad man shivering from the cold." Kagome said chuckling.
Rin and Sota arrived in the great hall. "I thought that I smelled something that stunk." Sota said smiling.
Kouga turned around and sneered at him. "Yeah like you smell like roses Sota."
"Actually more like cinnamon with a hint of sage and snow." Kagome said winking at her brother.
Rin laughed and then went over to Aiayme feeling what was going on in her belly. Sota went over to Kouga and they continued to talk over things.
"So, when are you going to bring Kirgoua here?" Kouga asked silently.
"Kagome and I talked about it and we are going to wait until the summer time. My training with Sesshomaru's soldiers is not quite finished. Shippo has been rather quiet about things but I can still sense his anger when he is around Rin and I."
"But he is keeping himself in check then?"
"Yeah. Arigota told him that he had no choice but to."
"I am having the challenge done in a different way Kouga." Sesshomaru said.
Kouga and Sota turned around quickly. Not noticing that the Ice Lord snuck up on them.
"What do you mean in a different way Sesshomaru?" Kouga asked.
"I am having Kirgoua and Shippo go first. Then the winner of that outcome is to battle with Sota."
"Why are you doing it that way?" InuYasha asked as he strolled up to the group of men. Kikyou giving him a quick kiss as she ran to the ladies.
"Because Shippo has been watching Sota so closely while he is training with Fitzu and Sherlene. I do not trust his intentions when it comes to Sota." Sesshomaru said.
"Do you think that he will not follow the rules and try to kill me?" Sota asked.
"Yes. But I don't think that he will succeed Sota, you are excelling faster than any of my other soldiers and I have the feeling that is the reason why he is a little apprehensive to be around you." Sesshomaru said.
"Cracko said that Shippo has been doing well with his stealth moves though Sesshomaru." InuYasha pointed out.
"Yes but he is still learning those. Sota was done with those and others before Shippo even thought of it to being a lesson for him to learn." Sesshomaru said.
"Rin is very worried that I am going to be severely hurt. She has been talking to Lavonia and has been learning things from her and Sherene during her lessons." Sota said.
"I think that it is because she no matter what, wants to be the one to take care of you. That is where her personality is close to Kagome's. They both are very caring women and yet they are both very possessive over things that matter of the heart." Sesshomaru pointed out for him.
"And they are both very independent women who like to say what is on their minds." InuYasha added.
Sota chuckled. "Yes, I do have to admit that the longer that Rin is around Kagome, some of the saying and personality traits are starting to rub off. But that is ok. I don't mind in the least."
Miroku, Sango, Kanna and Kohaku walked through the doors and soon they were all talking to everyone. Sesshomaru had Sayla retrieve the servants to get lunch prepared and served since Sango and Aiayme said that they were starving. Sango's large belly was demanding so much food. Poor Miroku looked like hell has come to him.
"Miroku, do not feel bad, Aiayme has me getting her food in the middle of the night!" Kouga said.
"Yes, Sango has with me as well. She has also started to slap me if I even bring her tray to her and there is not enough food on it."
"Yeah, Aiayme was doing that to me up until last week. But my gosh, has her appetite for mating gone through the roof!"
"Yes, that I have to admit, I am not going to complain about." Miroku said smiling as he grasped Sango's butt.
"Miroku, not now. I am really hungry." Sango pleaded with him. Kagome just laughed.
"Sango, how are those exercises going that mother has taught you?" Kagome asked.
"They are going well but now I have found that putting on my socks are even harder! Thank goodness for Miroku. He has been helping me dress and take baths all the time now." Sango said.
"Yes, I do not mind giving her a bath all the time. It is nice to see her naked belly in the water." Miroku said smiling.
Sango elbowed him in the ribs as InuYasha laughed.
Food was delivered and everyone started eating. Kagome was a little worried because Kanna and Kohaku were not talking. She could tell that there was something going on with those two but they didn't want to let everyone know. After lunch, everyone went to their rooms for some well-needed rest. Kagome went to Kohaku and Kanna's room.
"Come in Kagome." Kohaku said. Kagome went through the door.
Sesshomaru had followed her and quickly grabbed the door before it was shut on him.
He shut the door behind him and sat down next to Kagome.
"Now what is going on you two?" Kagome asked sternly.
Kohaku and Kanna turned to each other and then at Kagome and Sesshomaru.
"We are expecting a child." Kanna said softly.
Kagome got up quickly and hugged Kanna. "I can't believe this! Have you told Sango and Miroku yet?"
"Kagome, there is more." Kohaku said.
Kagome looked at him. His eyes were sad and Kanna started to cry.
"Kohaku, what happened?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Kanna was attacked. The pup that she is carrying is not mine." Kohaku said.
Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and then at Kanna. She put her arms around her.
"Kanna, where did this happen? And who did this to you?" Kagome asked softly.
"We were walking around InuYasha's forest. We were going to have a picnic near the well. It was such a beautiful and warm day. The snow was just gleaming everywhere the sun touched it. Kohaku was forced to watch.." Kanna said softly. Not finishing the rest of the story.
Sesshomaru looked at Kohaku, anger blatant on his face. "Kohaku, who was it?"
"It was Muso."
Kagome's emotions then went out of control. Her hair was whipping around her wildly. Her beautiful soft brown eyes, going hot pink with her anger. Her face started to get longer and longer as her demon side was taking over. Sesshomaru tried to calm her down but she shook her head and growled. Kagome went out the door and down the hall.
"I will go with her." Sesshomaru said going out the door to follow Kagome.
He transformed into his demon form and chased after her. Her white and pink fur whipping out behind her as she ran from the palace. Hell bent on killing Muso for touching Kanna and forcing Kohaku to watch as he ravaged her and then impregnated her with his seed. His vile seed that was now growing an innocent child in her belly.
Sesshomaru caught up with her just before they reached InuYasha's forest. She could smell his scent all over the place. It was heartening to think that he was running around doing such things. Sesshomaru stopped with her by the well. He could feel her jaki and it was starting to get out of control. He stepped in front of her, forcing her to look into his eyes.
Kagome, you need to control your emotions. Sesshomaru told her.
He touched her! He raped her! He deserves to die Sesshomaru! Kagome told him pleadingly.
We will get him Kagome but not this way. We cannot kill him. We need to find out why he did this first. Then we will do what is according to the law in my lands.
No. I want him to die and to die now! I want to feel his blood in my mouth as I crush him with my mouth!
Kagome! You cannot do this! You have to think of Kanna and Kohaku first.
Kagome looked down at the ground. In a flash of pink, she was back in her humanoid form. Sesshomaru transformed as well and went up to her.
"Then let us go and bring him back to the palace for trial." Kagome said, ice dripping off of each of her words.
Sesshomaru nodded and they headed to the village. They found him in his hut. He was preparing food for himself and a few other people that were there. When Kagome burst through the door Muso got up ready to defend himself.
"What the hell are you doing here wench?" Muso demanded.
"I am here to bring you back to the western lands and have a trial." Kagome said. Her eyes starting to flicker hot pink.
"Why in the hell should I do that?" Muso asked.
"Because you defiled one of my relatives." Sesshomaru said stepping up behind Kagome. Muso then knew what it was all about.
"Lord Sesshomaru. I did no such thing. I have not touched Lady Kikyou." Muso stuttered out.
"No. You touched Lady Kanna. And you made her mate watch as you ravaged her tiny body, implanting your vile seed into her and now she is pregnant because of you!" Kagome said, slowly advancing upon the human standing before her. She extended her hands that were at her sides, releasing the poison into her nails.
"I did no such thing! I swear!" Muso said as he started to back away from the angry female.
"DO NOT LIE TO ME MUSO! YOU HAVE BROKEN HER SPIRIT WITH YOUR VILE ACT!" Kagome yelled at him as she brought her hand and gripped his throat. Slowly lifting him up in the air and slamming him against the wall. She brought her face up to his closely. "And now you are going to pay for what you have done to my family." She said, malice and hatred covering each word.
"Gather your things and get your horses ready. All of you are coming with Muso to the western lands. You are under trial as well." Sesshomaru said. The men shook their heads and got their things together and followed Sesshomaru out to where their horses were tied up.
Kagome smiled at Muso who was shaking with fear as she lowered him to the ground. She tightened her grip on his neck quickly as he moved to backhand her. The tip of her nails entering his neck and he could feel the poison start to eat away at his skin.
"That would not be wise to raise a hand at me you bastard." She said. She threw him against another wall, letting go of his neck at the same time. He fell to the floor and grabbed his neck.
"One way or another, you are going to pay for that wench." Muso said as he went outside to get his horse.
Kagome smiled at him. "I don't think so."
Kagome transformed into her demon form as did Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru lead the way back to his palace and Kagome was watching the rear of the group. No one talked during the whole way. When they got to the palace, Arigota and some of the other soldiers came and took Muso and his little friends down to the dungeons. Sesshomaru told him that they are to go into separate cells away from each other the whole time until him, InuYasha, Kouga, Sota, Miroku, and Kohaku could go down there for interrogation. Arigota nodded and they brought them down to the dungeons. Sesshomaru had Akoro go and get the others and meet them in his study for a quick meeting in 15 minutes. Akoro nodded and went about quickly. Sesshomaru and Kagome quickly went to the study for the meeting from hell.
