"Do you mean…" Sesshomaru starts.
Kadae finishes for him, "Yes."
Sesshomaru lets out a heavy sigh. "I see. But I do not wish to harm you or damage your perfection though."
"I don't care! I want to-"
Sesshomaru cuts her off, "-be my… mate?" he finishes for Kadae, turning a bit red.
"…Yes."

As Kadae wakes, Sesshomaru does too. He rolls over to face her.
"Good morning My Love," he whispers into her ear.
Kadae rolls over to face him and he puts his arm across her, running his nails through her hair. She smiles and closes her eyes. Sesshomaru licks her face just like a puppy and she giggles.
"You are a… very fine mate" he says in his low voice.
That voice of his always makes Kadae's heart race.
"Why thank you My Lord. May we sleep a while longer?"
Sesshomaru nods as the two fall back asleep. Kadae awakes to a strange voice calling for Sesshomaru, and the sound of small feet running back and forth through the halls and up and down the floors. She rolls over to tell him and notice he is… purring? He said he was a dog demon, not a cat demon! She also sees he is smiling in his sleep. Maybe it's something that shows content… or pleasure, she thinks. Kadae reaches over and strokes his hair gently, waking him up.
"Hmm?" He says as he groggily rolls over. His eyes open slowly. "Is something wrong Love?"
"No but I think someone is looking fo-" she is cut off as a greenish imp opens the door and walks in.
"Lord Sesshomaru! I have been looking for you!" He notices Kadae and Sesshomaru in bed… not clothed.
"Jaken! You fool! If a door is closed, it is usually closed for a reason!" Sesshomaru says while sitting up behind her.
At first, the one Sesshomaru called Jaken snickers. But as Sesshomaru starts to get up, pulling the covers with him to hide everything past his waist, Jaken stops laughing and stands still.
"Jaken! Get out!" Sesshomaru yells to him.
This sends Jaken running out the door, closing it as well on the way out, and screaming. As he closes the door, Sesshomaru shouts out the door.
"Maybe next time you will think before opening a closed door!"
Sesshomaru opens the fridge and has an annoyed look on his face. His right eye starts to twitch as his stomach growls. He too starts to growl.
"Jaken!" he roars in anger.
Seconds later, the imp runs up. "Yes, master?"
"I thought you bought more food last night."
"Well, you see, I had to tend to many demons and-"
"Never mind. I'll get them myself," he sighs and shakes his head. "Lady Kadae, do you wish to accompany me to the market?"
Kadae nods her head and the two leave.
---
As Sesshomaru enters the market place, people stare in fear. Kadae notices he is ahead of her and she runs up to him. A demon comes up and sniffs her footprint, then gives the crowd a nod. They all look shocked, and even more afraid. They start whispering. Sesshomaru approaches a store and motions for her to wait outside. The people nearby are staring at Kadae and still whispering. After a few minutes, she turns around.
"Um, excuse me bu-" Kadae is cut off by a motion in front of her.
A cat demon bows down to her and the others follow.
"No, no. Please, stand up." They stand up, but look confused. "Why does everyone here look so afraid?" she asks them.
"Lord Sesshomaru is defensive enough of himself, he must be very protective of his mate," someone says.
"But how do you know I am his… mate?"
"We are demons; we can smell him on you. We can also tell that you are human."
"I see. Thank you," Kadae nods her head and turns back around.
Sesshomaru turns around the door's corner and continues walking. Kadae follows. As some demons shoot evil looks at her, Sesshomaru puts his arm around Kadae and pulls her closer, then returns their looks.
She hears a demon whisper, "Look at his human. He probably took her without her consent."
Sesshomaru is gone in an instant, but then appears next to the demon the next. His nails wrap around the demon's throat.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you," he says sarcastically, yet in anger.
"N-n-nothing, L-l-lord Sesshomar-a-aru," he manages out while choking.
Sesshomaru lets go of him and slowly walks back to Kadae and sees worry in her face. He smiles and says, "Don't worry love,"
As he goes to three more shops, there are more evil stares. While she waits outside of the last shop, a demon starts to attack her, but as soon as Sesshomaru comes out, he runs away.
"I'm ready," Sesshomaru says, flipping the bags over his shoulders.
"I can take some bags," Kadae offers with a smile.
"It's alright."
As she climbs onto his shoulders, he jumps into the sky.
