Kagome slowly walked into her room behind her mate, waiting until they arrived safely in the kitchen before addressing him.
She would be damned if he did not allow them to stay after she was through talking to him.
"Kouga... About Nanashi and InuYasha…" Kagome started, as she began bustling around the kitchen to warm up the cold dinner for her mate.
"No." Kouga said bluntly, as he started to untie his armor strap.
"And why the hell not!" Kagome demanded, putting her hands on her rounding hip bones. "If it weren't for them we'd be burying three bodies, if not four!"
Kouga reached up to pull Kagome into his lap, until she slapped his hand away. "No. Not until you agree. They have as much right to stay as we do!"
Kouga growled. "We'll talk about this later Kagome. Now, get dinner ready."
"No. I want to discuss this right now! I want them to stay! They have the right to stay if they want to! You and I both know that Nanashi wants to stay!"
Glancing up at his mate, he noticed the determination that was set so strongly upon her features. "Alright, they can stay. But if dog shit fucks up, he's leaving. With or without his mate."
Smiling at her mate, she leapt into his lap, hugging him. "Arigatou zutto!"
"Alright, Kagome, finish up dinner so we can go out and help with the celebration."
Nodding, Kagome went back to her work, a smile gracing her lips.
Meanwhile in Nanashi and InuYasha's room…"Onegai…Onegai, InuYasha?" Nanashi pleaded to her stoic mate, taking his hand in hers in order to gain his attention, as she kneeled before him in a submissive manner.
Turning his glare to Nanashi, she dropped his hand, quickly dropping her head and moving to sit beside him. "Onegai, InuYasha… Please do not be angry with me. I have done nothing wrong. Please look at me. Listen to what I have to say."
He turned his head from her, to look away from her completely. "Please, do not abandon me. Please I will try to be a better mate," she whispered, as tears sprang down her cheeks.
Taking his hand from under his folded arm, she placed it on her wet cheek, cupping it gently, as she cried.
"You are the male. I will submit. I will listen to what you tell me. Just don't abandon me. Don't leave me all alone."
InuYasha gazed back down at his small mate. Her hair hung down her back like a golden curtain, which if she had leaned her forehead down, would have hidden her face to him completely. Her eyes, downcast, allowed her tears to fall gracefully down her fine features, as her full lips began to tremble from the effort she was giving not to cry out.
She would not cry out. She did not want her mate to think she was weaker than she already was. She would not give him another reason to leave her here, to abandon her.
Hooking his finger under her chin, InuYasha caught her lips with his, smashing them against her teeth, before slowly running his tongue over her bottom lip, asking for permission. Reaching around her neck, he slipped Nanashi's crystal onto the hollow of her throat, twisting the cord three times around her neck to make it into a collar.
Slowly, he lifted her onto the bed, settling himself on top of her.
Slowly, gazing up at her mate, Nanashi lifted her hands to push her hair out of her face, to fan out around her head.
Leaning down, InuYasha whispered into her ear, "Never let me see you cry again. If you do…I don't know what I'll do. I guess I'll have to do this…"
Running his fingers across her bare stomach, Nanashi began to giggle like a child, trying to grab InuYasha's quick fingers as they tickled her.
Stopping after a few minutes, InuYasha flashed her a rare smile, as she leaned up and kissed him gently, their lips caressing softly.
Hearing a throat clear behind them, they looked toward the den entrance, where a tall, black haired oekami stood, lowly growling. 'How dare he touch my daughter.'
"Get ready. You're expected to be there immediately," Kuro growled, throwing them a blue-green kimono and a darker hue haori with black hakama.
Turning, he left, still growling, leaving a heavy air in the room for his daughter and her mate to suffocate on.
Giggling once more, Nanashi picked up the clothes, and handed her mate them.
InuYasha turned his nose up at the shirt snorting. "No way in fucking hell, are you going to get me to where that!"
Smiling, Nanashi tackled him, as she untied his fire rat haori and threw it as far away as she could. Grabbing his pants, she did the same, making sure to rub against him in order to sooth him, before she got him dressed.
Quickly she undressed, slipping the graceful kimono on, tying it securely. Glancing down, she noticed the jewel change colors from black to a heavy blue.
Some how, she knew. She just knew he didn't know how to deal with her tears. And she realized that she held the two greatest weapons against him now. Her tears shut within her eyes, and the necklace that now lay against her throat.
Naming Ceremony.
Everywhere around them, things were being raised. Before each door, a white sheet was hung and closed to hide the home inside.
Kagome helped carry the two babies in, setting them in a duo cradle and covering them up with a blanket, while Ichigo aided his mate in moving to the front of the room.
Yume wore a long, bright green kimono with gold, silver and other shades of greens stitched on the hem of the sleeves and the bottom, in patterns of birds and flowers, her mate, in a slightly darker green haori, and black hakama.
Kagome slid the cradle between the parents, before heading into her own den to quickly change, as she saw her mate step out in his own attire, and motion her to go get dressed.
10 minutes later (yes I realize a lot happened but I'm too lazy to type it all out. Maybe sometime later.)
Kouga cleared his voice, after everyone had settled down in the main den. "First and foremost I'd like to welcome the two newest members of the tribe. Ichigo and his mate have already announced to me that they are to be called Taiyo and Tsuuki."
Slowly, Ichigo and Yume took the twins out of the crib, holding them carefully, so all could see.
"Second of all, I'd like to say that any unmated female may be requested. At the end of the celebration. The female may choose her mate and I will give my blessing. Third, I would like to welcome our many guests whom have come for the annual meeting. And Finally, we would like to remove an exile from the pack. Nanashi, you may stay with us so long as you like," Kouga said, motioning to a spot they had saved for them beside Kagome, as Nanashi walked with InuYasha behind her, growling profanities under his breath.
Leading InuYasha over to where Kagome sat, she glanced around the room. Everyone's eyes were upon her. All eyes, except her fathers.
Okay, mesa thinks its time for that little thing called a notice to be brought up again. First off: Nanashi truly believed that her tribe had abandoned her (Which it did.) She's still in demon ages a child, which is why she doesn't want to be left alone. Also, normally wolves are together always. By her being alone, she feels like she's being exiled from the pack, and yes, even Inu can make her feel that way.
Also, her father's tribe exiled her, not only Kouga's. So, while Kouga's tribe has forgiven her, her father and mother's have not.
Thank you for reading, review and I shall love you forever!
