---Chapter Eight---

Please don't leave us

----------------------------------------

It had been sixteen years since that day Kagome recalled her love for Sesshomaru. He had won that bet.

"Hey! Father, I don't recall that ever being in the books!" Sakuya yelled. Sesshomaru smirked, relishing in the victory over his son…again. Kagome sat on a nearby rock, smiling at her family's antics. Everyday Sakuya would challenge Sesshomaru, and everyday he wound up kissing stone.

Though only recently had her son truly been distracted.

"Sesshomaru, let your son win for once," Kagome laughed. Sesshomaru smirked briefly at her before delivering a final kick at the boy, sending him flying toward the nearby woods. Sesshomaru walked over to her, letting his mate wipe the sweat off from the hot day.

"He's improving, actually made me break a sweat," Sesshomaru chuckled.

"You can be a real bastard to my son you know that right?" Kagome growled playfully, her demonic tail swishing in delight.

"I'm a sexy bastard," he replied.

"On occasion."

"Perhaps."

"Indeed."

Kagome smiled, grabbing her mates hand and leading him inside, fully knowing that Sakuya could find his way back. Poor thing was probably unconscious.

----------------

Sakuya sat up, shaking his head to clear away the fuzziness of the area. Sighing he flopped down again, staring up at the bright blue sky. Perhaps he would come today…

Almost on cue a teenaged boy entered, his ears perking slightly at the image of his love interest, though almost positive the other boy returned his feelings. Walking forward he kneeled down at the boys head, watching with interest as gold met gold. Smiling, Sakuya reached up, pulling the face closer to his.

"I've been waiting for you," he purred. The teen above him sighed happily, letting himself be lowered. Well, now he definitely knew how the other felt about him. Smiling, Sakuya paused, yanking hard so the other fell on him in a heap.

"Hey! I thought we had a moment going!" The teen yelped, still slightly horrified at the abrupt change.

"What does that mean exactly?" Sakuya asked. It wasn't a question, more of a reassurance. The teen above him jumped up, pinning the body below him. He was a fox after all, wonderful reflexes.

"Stupid, what do you think it means?" The teen whispered, leaning down to nibble at Sakuya's ear.

"Just making sure Kurama."

----------------------

"He still hasn't come back."

"He's fine."

"It's been three hours Sesshy!"

"Sakuya always comes back."

"But-but…!"

"I'm not even going to use the wretched human term to counter that."

"What term? Oh! You mean the old 'no if's and's or but's' saying right? Classic."

"You can be very childish sometimes Kagome."

"Me? Childish? Never."

"Where is that stupid boy anyway?"

A few more moments of silence.

"Kagome, let's have sex."

"Okay."

-------------------

Sakuya leaped up, effectively making Youko tumble to the ground. Smirking briefly he ran off, in attempts that his fox would give chase.

Canine's love chases. And that was no exception to a fox.

Panting slightly, he hid behind a tree, watching as a silver fox bound into the clearing, beginning to sniff the area. Sakuya stayed where he was, hoping his fox would find him soon, because his instincts were telling him to bolt. He wanted to be caught. Today is the day he would leave his parents for good, and go where Youko had always dreamed. The fields on the base of Mt. Kurama. At first, Sakuya thought the fox was being…a fox. Vain and self-centered, until his father brought he and his mother there.

He was so lost in thought he didn't notice when Youko tackled him, biting his ear gently. Sakuya yelped, rolling them over until they were both beside each other, panting. Youko smiled as he looked to the sky. Sakuya looked at Youko.

"Hey, today, we should go to your place."

"What place?"

"The fields of Mt. Kurama, you told me it was somewhere you wanted to go," Sakuya replied, standing up beside Youko.

"What about your parents."

"Father has always wanted me to just go. My mother, she will be sad for a while, but…everything will be fine," Sakuya said. Taking hold of Youko's hand he ran off, jumping over the castle wall, the silver fox right behind him.

-------------------------

Kagome stood outside in the garden, where her son and mate were sparring just hours before. Night had fallen, but a frown was etched on her features. She had seen him. The boy that had captured her son's heart. He was a thief, but she was certain that he would be defeated if he had ever tried anything. He never did, but he always came back. She had been in her old room looking out the window when she noticed Sakuya walking to the young man, seemingly angry that the fox thief had been spying. But as she watched, his posture became relaxed. The next day, the silver being had come back during early practice between Sesshomaru and Sakuya, watching her son with interest.

The young man perceived her boy as a potential mate.

To day she was happy was the overstatement of the century. She was furious. Though, the more she observed the two, the more she realized that her son was indeed seeing the young man as a mate! Again, she had felt deep anger, but with a quick flick of her wrist, she forced the feelings down.

Now, the thief had stolen her willing son.

Years ago, she had had a vivid nightmare of visiting Naraku, but she found that she had gone through slight adventures before waking up. She had felt nervous, listening to the voice in the back of her head to tell him that her precious had won the bet and that she would make him happy. So, in desperation, Kagome had told Sesshomaru her love for the demon. He had been…surprised, but she followed her dream self's actions, and before either knew what was happening, they were lying naked in each other's arms.

It was worth it.

Going back inside she wiped a tear aside.

Sesshomaru stood directly in front of her, his arms ready and waiting for an occupant. Sobbing she ran forward, letting herself feel the solid warmth against her. "You have your memories precious," Sesshomaru whispered.

-----

"Mama!"

"What? Sakuya? What are you doing out of bed sweet one?"

"I had a nightmare."

"You can stay here with mommy for as long as you want."

"I hate nightmares."

"Soon, my boy, you will never experience them again. I used to have nightmares all the time until I found your father. Now, I can sleep in peace without being disturbed by make believes."

"…I want to meet someone then. I want them to take away my nightmares."

"And you will honey, you will."

---

It was true; Kagome did have her memories…

"I'm proud of you Kagome."

Kagome sighed, comforted by the presence. She felt gentle warmth inside her body. She liked it.

"Very proud."

"Hey Sesshy, I dare you to raise another kid."

"What are we wagering love?"

---END---

Considering I hate Inuyasha now I didn't want to forget about this completely. So there it was. Hope you enjoyed every bit of it! Yes, there may be a sequel but I am leaving fanfiction for good. My best friend however, WhiteWolfCub, might be willing to do that, so go and see her. Email her if you want to have a sequel. is her email.
