A/N: things really heated up in the last chappie didn't they? Well I hope you all liked it because it just might be a while until I right a full on lemon. Oh yeah please if anyone didn't read the last A/N then please listen. I'm working on a sequel to this story and it's gonna be called The gift of Misfortune (You wouldn't believe how long it took me to think this title up) and it will portray Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha's side of the story until it leads up to the part where Sesshomaru and Kagome all meet them. Then that will be the end and then a third sequel will be coming out. I'm working on the 2nd sequel right now so that I won't have all my fans out there waiting to long. I so far have only two chappies for the 2nd story. They're all action and hentai pact so it takes me awhile to put all that detail in.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha but if I may ask, can I please own Miroku? He's so cute.

Chappie # 18 We must leave

"Oi! Where's Sesshomaru sama Koga?" Rin asked.

"Well he's in the garden having sex with Lady Kagome."

"Ew! You didn't have to tell me all that. You're so crude with your words. You could have just said he was in the garden."

"But if I did say it like that Lady Rin then you probably would have walked in on him while he was doing what he was doing… besides it takes out all the fun in seeing your face looking like that, it's priceless!"

"Sessho…" Kagome fingered Sesshomaru's smooth white and toned chest, "it's really late and I think we should go inside. I don't want to sleep on the grass all night. Besides I really don't want to be caught naked out on the grass."

Sesshomaru's lips tugged upwards but then returned to their normally stoic feature. Both Kagome and Sesshomaru gathered their clothes and redressed messily. Sesshomaru picked Kagome up bridal style and then jumped up towards Kagome's window, which was the closest. He slid open the shoji screen door from the balcony and walked up to Kagome's futon. He laid her down in the sheets first and then he laid himself down beside his love. While sliding the sheets over their bodies he nuzzled her neck tenderly where the skin was still red from the mark he gave her.

When a demon mates for life his life becomes hers and her life becomes his as long as the male mate remarks the female or the other way around. As long as he lives she will live. Sesshomaru was overwhelmed to finally know that Kagome will not be short lived, that she will stay with him forever.

"Kagome, rest now. At sunrise we will pack. We must leave if you want to complete your mission. I have already completed mine." Sesshomaru whispered in his loves ear.

"Hai." Kagome whispered back.

"Lady Rin are you tired?"

"Yeah, I am a little."

"I suggest you sleep, it's late."

"Hai Koga kun, are you going to sleep?"

"Yes I am, I'll walk you back to your quarters."

"Arigato Koga kun."

It took both of them two minutes to stand in front of Rin's door. Rin said good night to Koga and Koga nodded. As Rin turned towards her door…

"Lady Rin?"

Rin turned around to see Koga standing a little to close for comfort. Lets put it this way; he was at least to inches away from her lips. His breath burned Rin's lips and he stared into her eyes.

"Y yes?"

"I," it's now or never, "I like you… a lot. And I would like to court you."

"Koga kun, I, oh Kami… You have no idea… Oh Kami yes!"

Rin threw her arms around Koga pulling him into a bear hug. Koga was extremely pleased that she accepted his offer of being courted. He just hopes that Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't get angry.

Sesshomaru lay quietly listening to the conversation of Rin and Koga from down the hall. Sesshomaru was indifferent to whom Rin chose to be her mate as long as he was a high-ranking youkai which Koga is. Now Rin will be around longer if she takes a youkai mate.

Hhhhmmm… I have to speak to Koga tomorrow.

The peeked over the horizon and Sesshomaru shook his mate awake softly. They were to pack and head off to find the rest of the Shikon no Kakkera. Naraku must have found the majority of them already. But what if his mate were to die in battle? What would he do? He would protect her from anything and would even die for her. As his father passed down the sword Tetsaiga to his sibling Inuyasha, the sword that kills 100 demons in one sweep, he was given Tenseiga, the sword that can revive 100 souls with one sweep. If some how Kagome was to die while with in Sesshomaru's protection (which is highly unlikely) then he can bring her back to life with Tenseiga.

"Wake up my little tenshi (angel)."

"Do I have to?" Kagome asked as she rubbed her groggy eyes.

"Hai."

"Okay then."

Sesshomaru smiled as he saw a crescent moon appear on his mate's four head. Kagome was undergoing a few physical changes but nothing really drastic. As Kagome sat up Sesshomaru also noticed that his mate's hair had a tint of blue to it and she had silver wisps of hair falling to her back.

Kagome got up and went to bathe. As she got back she dawned a simple training kimono and Sesshomaru dawned his favorite red and white battle kimono with his tail thrown over his shoulder.

Sesshomaru went to the door awaited for Kagome to finish tying her hair before opening the door and letting her step out into the hall. Kagome was heading to the dinning hall for breakfast and Sesshomaru was lagging behind taking in what his castle looked like not sure if he was coming back from their journey to enjoy it on an everyday bases. As he watched Kagome walk down the hall a disgustingly familiar scent wafted into his nose.

Kagome sensed another youkai following her. Kagome turned around to see the Shiro youkai from the night before. Her nasally voice yelled out to her.

"You whore! I can smell Lord Sesshomaru's scent all over you!"

"You can not speak to the lady of the western lands that way!" yelled Jaken as he came running up to his lord's side. He was looking for lord to confirm whether the rumor of his leaving is true or not.

"What! Lady of the western lands! I don't believe it."

"Then don't." Sesshomaru said icily. Kagome had a smirk on her face the whole time. If she weren't so lazy she would have beaten the crap out of the bitch right about now. She can't talk to her that way; maybe she should order her death… Kagome turned away from the Shiro demon and continued to walk down the hall to eat breakfast. Sesshomaru slowly followed his dear mate. She opened the door and stepped inside and left the dumb founded Shiro youkai with her mouth wide open.

When the door final shut Sesshomaru turned his ice-cold gaze back towards the Shiro demon. He walked to her. In the blink of an eye Sesshomaru reached out and grasped the gasping and surprised Shiro demon by the neck. Sesshomaru pulled her ear closely to his mouth.

"If you disrespect my mate again, I will personally torture you. I have the power of Tenseiga and can easily have you die a thousand painful deaths." He whispered menacingly in her ear, all the while he held a stoic face. He let her shaking body go and she bowed quickly and left. Jaken watched as Sesshomaru headed towards the dinning hall to go to his mate.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken called.

"Do not repeat my name Jaken." Sesshomaru stated, "If I must tell you again, I will shove my foot down your throat."

"Y yes Lord Sesshomaru. Maybe I ask my lord an inquiry?"

"…"

Jaken took his masters silence as a yes. "My lord is it true that you an Lady Kagome are planning to leave the castle on a journey to collect the Shikon no Kakkera?"

"Jaken, make sure that when I come back everything is in order or I will be forced to punish you."

Jaken gulped and nodded his head.

Two hours went by and everything they needed was packed. Sesshomaru strapped the pack on his two-headed dragon named Ah Un. Both Kagome and Sesshomaru walked out to the courtyard and what awaited them there was a slyly grinning Koga and an indifferent Rin.

"There you are you old dog!" Koga shouted. Sesshomaru winced as Koga's yell reached his sensitive ears.

"I am not old," Sesshomaru sneered, "and I do believe that you are older then me Koga."

"Well yeah I guess your right about that." Koga breathed.

"Why are you two out here?" Kagome cut in.

"We just wanted to say good bye." Rin said.

"Oh." Kagome replied. Sesshomaru called Koga to one side and spoke with him quietly and Rin explained to Kagome how last night Koga wanted to court her. Rin blushed when Kagome nudged her in the ribs and said, "You'll be having a lot of fun when we're gone huh?"

"Maybe." Koga jumped in. Kagome laughed nervously at being caught talking provocatively and tugged at the collar of her kimono. All four off them walked to the gates and Koga said his good byes to Kagome while Rin gave Sesshomaru big hug and smooch. Sesshomaru growled at her for doing it out in the open. Rin and Koga walked back to the castle and Sesshomaru ordered the guards to open the gate. They bowed to their lord as he walked through. Kagome walked through and smiled at Sesshomaru.

"Guards. Bow to The Lady of the Western Land when she passes your person or suffer the consequences." Sesshomaru bit. The guards hastily bowed down lowly in front of Kagome's blushing face as she told them to get up. After the gate closed both Sesshomaru and Kagome looked towards eastern kingdom where Kagome said she can feel the pull of the Shikon no Kakkera.

A/N: I'm almost done. I think there might only be only 2 or 4 more chappies to this story. Then I will post up The gift Of Misfortune.
