Chapter 6- Explaining things

Kagome's mind raced. Oh god! OH GOD! What would she DO? What if she was pregnant! She was still in school! She would have to have a TRIPLE life! A school girl, a miko, AND a mother! Kagome choked on her own saliva and started coughing. Sesshoumaru pulled her down into his lap, and try as she might, she couldn't get away.

"Listen, Kagome. This Sesshoumaru did not mean to let things go so far. However, This Sesshoumaru apparently cannot control his need around you. You must listen. This Sesshoumaru will protect you from harm, any harm. This Sesshoumaru shall keep you safe, yet you shall be allowed what freedom you desire. The hanyou, and myself, did not know This Sesshoumaru's beast wanted to ...keep you." Sesshoumaru said, laying his forehead on the now relaxed miko's shoulder.

"Your...beast?" Kagome asked and Sesshoumaru nodded.

"This Sesshoumaru, like all higher level demons, have a beast inside which controls the demon strength and...personal needs. The beast has claimed you to be its mate, therefore This Sesshoumaru cannot let you go. This Sesshoumaru could never let you come to harm, and neither will the beast. InuYasha's beast, though strong, is ... wild. His beast is a hanyou beast, meaning it doesn't see friends, only foes, and will destroy everything in its path. InuYasha's beast wants you as well, and has stepped up to claim you. You must never be alone with him, understood?" Sesshoumaru said, quietly. He didn't really like commanding her, for it was against his beasts will to make her a docile little thing, but keep her fire there.

Kagome, however, nodded. Fear was rolling off her in waves. Sesshoumaru gently kissed her neck. He smelled the tears start up then.

"I'm still a teenager, and I got school, and now I have to help you two in the past, and now you claimed me as a mate! This is too hard! Why did you two have to just throw this on me now? Could we at least get to know each other first or something? I mean...I've never even had a real boyfriend!" Kagome question in a quiet, slightly whiny voice.

"Of course, This Sesshoumaru will not mark you as my life mate until This Sesshoumaru's beast tells This Sesshoumaru you are ready. What is a boyfriend?" Sesshoumaru asked, puzzled by her words.

"A boyfriend is...a guy who a girl is allowing to court them, and favors that guy above all others. A boyfriend a girl can get rid of for another, or take as a lover or husband. Most girls in this time don't stay virgins long..." Kagome said, wincing at her own words as Sesshoumaru's eyes widened.

"So...This Sesshoumaru may be your ...boyfriend?" Sesshoumaru asked her and she laughed.

"You'd have to hold back your...needs...until I'm ready, Sess-kun." Kagome said, blushing a little, but leaning back onto his chest. Sesshoumaru nodded.

"Yes...This Sesshoumaru must learn to control his beast around you. If not, This Sesshoumaru will make a fool of himself in public...many times." Sesshoumaru said and Kagome blushed more.

"Um...Yeah...Lets go back downstairs before my mom finds out InuYasha's unconcious on the floor." Kagome said and without a second thought she was picked up and instantly in the living room once more. InuYasha lay there, sleeping off the poison in the middle of the room. "You know the lay out of my house already?" Kagome asked Sesshoumaru as she poked InuYasha's cheek. "You sure he's ok?"

"InuYasha is fine, and no. This Sesshoumaru finds rooms by scent. I followed the path of your strongest scent, which was difficult with you aroused in This Sesshoumaru's arms..." Sesshoumaru murmured the last part in her ear causing her to blush again and she elbowed him, causing him to growl playfully.

Buyo ambled up to them and Kagome picked the cat up.

"Meow." Sesshoumaru's ear twitched. The cats meow was even lazy. Figures, Kagome pampered the cat until it was barely able to walk, it seemed. It licked her cheek and looked at Sesshoumaru with curious eyes. Kagome grinned.

"Wanna pet Buyo? I got him when I was little. Isn't he cute!" Kagome said, holding Buyo to Sesshoumaru, who took the cat into his arms and let it crawl onto his shoulders to play with his tail. He bared his teeth in anger, and was surprised to see that the cat ignored him and sat on his tail.

"Leave Sesshoumaru's tail alone, Buyo!" Kagome snapped at the cat, who, clumsily, jumped from Sesshoumaru's shoulders and rolled around on the ground. Sesshoumaru blinked. She had a strange power over the cat that he had never seen! What unearthly goddess held power over a cat! He could use her assistance with the panther demon tribe...

It was then he realized she had snatched his tail off his shoulder and had wrapped it around her neck. He rolled his eyes as she began to excitedly pet it and watch it twitch. She then turned to InuYasha. "You think you could pick him up and put him on the couch?" She asked and Sesshoumaru sighed, not liking orders, but nodded.

InuYasha was placed on the couch sloppily when there was a knock at the door. Kagome looked to Sesshoumaru. "Hide your demonic...ness...whatever!" She whispered loudly and ran to the door, afraid that it just might be...him.

The door opened and she was staring at the one boy she didn't want to see. Hojo. "Um...Hi, Hojo!" She said, with a fake happiness that made Sesshoumaru cringe. Who was this Hojo? He sniffed. Male. He walked over and stood behind Kagome, looking at the small young male with a carelessness in his eyes.

"Hi, Kagome! Who's...that?" Hojo asked, and Kagome turned her head to see Sesshoumaru standing almost directly behind her.

"Th-this is my boyfriend, Sesshoumaru! Sess-kun, this is Hojo a friend from school!" Kagome announced and Hojo bowed, while Sesshoumaru merely nodded.

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes as Hojo's own eyes flashed an odd green color for a moment. "You are a demon." He snarled out, and Hojo looked to Kagome, eyes wide.

"You idiot, now she knows of us! She could have to die now!" Hojo hissed out, shoving Kagome and Sesshoumaru backwards and closing the door quietly behind him.

Sesshoumaru snorted and dropped his concealing spell. "She will not die, lest you want this very world to be destroyed. My brother has already tried to kill her, would you dare the same? He's...resting...on the couch on the moment."

Kagome was now, at the moment, hiding behind Sesshoumaru peeking out at Hojo. "How come you never told me you were a demon, Hojo? And what kind are you?"

Hojo sighed and dropped his own spell revealing striking green eyes, bright red hair, and a fox tail. "You'll find out later on...I promise. And as for you Lord Sesshoumaru, I wont ever dare trying to kill her. You will also find out why, I cannot reveal what the future holds in store for you. Good bye, Kagome. I'll see you again later."

With that he was gone. Kagome blinked and looked at Sesshoumaru. "What was that about?"

"He must have met us in the past...come Kagome. Let us eat and leave. I will carry Inuyasha on my back, if he doesn't wake up by then." Sesshoumaru answered and Kagome confuzedly led him to the kitchen where her mother was busy making dinner and tea.
