CRESCENT MOON'S CAPTURE

THANK U ALL FOR THE REVIEWS .

And just to let you know the names I use are real.

BY THE WAY: HERE ARE SOME TRANSLATIONS

TSUBAKI- Camelia flowers

SUMIMASEN- Excuse me

MATTE- Wait

ENJOY!

Kagome had awaken once more. This time to the sun shining bright rays instead of midnight darkness cluttering the room. She still lay there on her futon trying with best effort to remember the events that took place two nights before. The battle.

'Well lets see, we were fighting Sesshomaru when...' She sat up and covered her mouth with one hand, the other supporting her body. Kagome could feel the tears start to sting horribly in her eyes. 'Now I remember. Oh Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, oh Shippo"

Kagome began to sob uncontrollably. She slammed her face back onto the pillow and wept with utter sadness for her friends...and her love. Kami knows where Sesshomaru is now. She was just grateful that he was gone.

Once her water works had ceased the miko woman calmed before walking around her new room. She wiped her tears with the sleeve of her sweater she was wearing. It was clear to her that she was residing in a most lovely room but where did that other door on the other side of the room lead?

Kagome slid it open to reveal the most magnificent and largest hot spring she had ever seen. Though cautious, she was already falling in love with this place. This wasn't a bad thing was it? Besides she hasn't bathed in a while after all.

Kagome discover so many different kinds of bathing tools as she strolled into the spring which also required a waterfall. There was her own lavatory and a cute, little shelf with glass windowed doors next to the roaring spring that contained all sorts of soaps, oils, and scrubs made from the best herbs and scents in the whole Sengoku Jidai.

And for the first time in a long while, Kagome smiled wide and big at the wonderful sight.This spiring was so far the most comfortable and delightful thing that has been brought to her. But it still will be hardto forget her friends, especially while staying wherever this place is.

BACK WITH SESSHOMARU-HIS STUDY ROOM

'What the hell is taking that fucking ningen with Tetsusaiga' Sesshomaru was sitting hands on his knees and knees on the floor in a meditating state, but he was barely relaxed with all of this stress on his mind. It wasn't just his father's fang he was worried about, But earlier that morning around five, he recieved a message from one of InuTashio's old allies.

Apparently The Lord of the North, Eriotto-sama, has demanded Sesshomaru to find a mate and bear heir or he will be forced to resign as the Nishi Lord if he doesn't mate by the next crescent moon arrival, which was two days from now. Lord Eriotto was highly strict in politics.

He sat there, eyes shut, ears open, and the sun's rays splashing down on him. Sesshomaru's silver tresses glowing in the sunlight. He inhaled and exhaled out a deep breathe when he sensed two weak presences approaching.

Sesshomaru stood just as the pathetic toad was about to knock. "Enter."

"M'lord this humble unworthy servant has brought back the servant who you sent our for the quest." Jaken announce rather proudly. The deliverer bowed before entering.

A skinny, boney man who didn't look a day over 30 stood there with Tetsuaiga wrapped up in cloth and carrying another big bundle that happened to be moving aggressively.

"Hai. What is the other package?" Sesshomaru asked taking the sword in his hand.

"Lord Sesshomaru," he began bowing again, "There was a bit o' trouble gettin' tha sword I'm afraid." he spoke shakily

"Go on." Sesshomaru was staring at the man with eyes that could burn through steal. Anyone would be wise to fear him. Though the youngest Lord around, Sesshomaru was the most feared. Plenty have heard of his power and it didn't matter how good of training the other Lords have recieved. Sesshomaru could wipe out all if wanted. But fortunatley for them he had more honor than that.

"Well ya see, when we got to tha battle area there was a young kit who had the sword wit him sire and he put up an awful fight m'lord." the servant explained and emptied the bag. There spilled out Shippo all battered and landed quite roughly I might add. He was tied on his arms with rope that seemed to have a few rips on them from Shippo biting on it so much for freedom. Sesshomaru could even see an ugly bump that resided at the left temple of his head. It was from Sesshomaru flinging Shippo straight into the trunk of a tree.

"You both are dismissed. Leave" Sesshomaru told Jaken on the mortal slave.

"Lemme go Sesshomaru and give back the Tetsuaiga." Shippo ordered.

"Ah young kitsune. I suppose you are wondering where your precious friend is, am I right?" Sesshomaru asked Shippo who was baring daggers at him. Shippo was now 13 of age and much stronger, and braver than before but he certainly was no way a match for the great lord.

"What friends? You killed them all Sesshomaru." Shippo was knocked out nearly half the battle just after Kirara was killed.

"Oh but on the contrary kit. I believe your female friend has still survived thanks to me."

'What? Is he lying? Is it Sango or Kagome?' "Who? Who is it?" Shippo had a bit of hope in his voice. At this point he was ready to hear anything Sesshomaru had to say.

"Actually, since I spared her life she is in dept to me." Sesshomaru turned back to the window and just had an idea. "I believe her name was Kagome." a small smirk formed upon his handsome face.

Shippo's eyes widened. 'Kagome's alive'

"Where is she? Take me to her."

"Not as yet. You will clean your disgusting body and rid of your vile temper while in my palace." Sesshomaru called for another servant to take Shippo down to the bedding areas and to give him a room so as he will join Sesshomaru and Kagome down for dinner. He could already sense the girl moving about.

BACK WITH KAGOME-HER ROOM

She had just finished her bathing and now was smelling like new. Towel wrapped around her petite frame Kagome re-entered her gorgeous room. She then saw a small parchment on her low bed. It read that when she was done dressing to come down to eat. It even had a map of where to find the dining room. And this meant that her door was open now. And she was hungry.

'Gee, this place must be huge for them to send me a map. Where on earth am I?'

Kagome chose a beautiful attired kimono. It was black with pink tsubaki flowers traveling from her right shoulder and spiraled down her waist to her feet made of fine silk. Surprisingly, the kimono was correct in her size. Next she put on her sandals after memorizing where the dining hall was.

'Maybe I didn't memorize that map good enough. Im going to be late.' she panicked after a few minutes of walking around. Seeing a servant kagome thought it wise to ask for directions. The servant was holding a basket of veggies in her possession.

"Ano...sumimasen. Demo can you show me to the dining room. I seem to be a bit ..well..lost." Kagome asked shyly blushing.

"Ah, hai hai my lady come with me." the woman servant grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her forward to her destination.

The woman slave brought Kagome to a much bigger door than she has seen. But it wasn't hard to slide open the woman assured her when Kagome asked about the size.

"Alright my lady I must leave now to fulfill my own duties." the woman said turning her back on Kagome.

"Matte. If we should ever meet again I will need your name and please don't call me lady. My name is just Kagome."

"Hai m-Kagome. My name is Shinfua. Sayonara." with that she continued her job.

"Sayonara." Kagome whispered back. For a minute she just stood there staring at the door. Truthfully she was nervous. More nervous then ever. Kagome had no idea of what was to await her once she opened it. 'Well here goes nothing I hope.'

Kagome slid the door open to reveal her worst horror. Sesshomaru was kneeling at the head of the low down dining table with food spread out all over it. At first the woman couldn't breathe. She just stood there with terror written in her eyes. Sesshomaru saw this and motioned with his own golden eyes for her to sit.

Kagome walked slowly over to the table and sat farthest from him as possible. The length of it was perfectly fit for twenty people to the least. She didn't touch any of the food, but hung her head in thought.

Kagome was trying to overcome so many mood swings at the same time. She was shocked for one. This was the last she had expected to find. Sesshomaru didn't kill her, he actually brought her back to his royal palace. Then she was angry. After all he didn't ruin her whole life. Then she was depressed and still mourning over the life of her friends.

So many feelings went coursing through her mind. Hate, wonder, anger, sadness, confusion. Kagome didn't know how much she could take. She looked back up at Sesshomaru. He was sipping some tea with one hand while looking back at her strangely. Kagome became uneasy and didn't like the look he was giving her.

Sesshomaru broke the staring competition and focused his attention onto the dining hall door. Kagome did the same when it opened.

There standing with a scowl was none other than Shippo.

"Shippo-san" Kagome exclaimed and ran over to him. Shippo also glad to see her alive grasped her into a tight hug. "Oh Kagome I thought you were dead." Shippo said with an great amount of relief.

"Shippo I though you were dead too" Shippo's eyes brimmed with tears as Kagome's were already pouring down a pool's worth.

They finally released when Sesshomaru cleared his throat. "I can see you two have reunited. Kagome I wish to speak to you in my room when you done eating." He rose and left the dining hall.

"Listen Kagome, Sesshomaru has Inuyasha's sword." Shippo whispered seating himself infront of her.

"What do you mean Shippo?He can't even touch Tetsusaiga let alone pick it up to bring it here. How could he possibly have it." Kagome whispered back. They both knew of Sesshomaru's excellent hearing. What they didn't know is that he could hear up to three miles so their whispering was fruitless.

"Well I found it. Then some guy with Jaken came up and asked for it so I ran. Then I tripped and they caught me. So here I am. Im sorry Kagome." Shippo apologized

"Shippo don't be sorry. Im just glad your alive." Kagome picked out a bowl of rice and started eating with her new found fancy chopsticks.

"Shippo once I speak to Sesshomaru we're getting out of here, got that?" Shippo took a bite of his salmon roll.

"Yea, got it." He replied with confidence.

LATER ON THAT DAY-SESSHOMARU'S ROOM

Kagome didn't get a chance to knock on the door before she heard Sesshomaru's voice.

"Come in."

Kagome stepped into his room, her head hanging and her lips slightly pierced. She hated just being on the same planet as him, breathing the same air as him, being in his presence!

"Onna why do you think I have brought you hear?" Sesshomaru started the conversation facing her with no expression.

"Because you're a heartless cold bastard." Kagome was next through onto a chair and was facing a very enraged Sesshomaru.

"Bitch do not dare insult me in my own home." Sesshomaru trapped her beneath the chair by putting both hands on either side of it's arms. Kagome's body was statue like from just staring into his molten orbs. He was so close she tried to hold back the blush.

She lightly gulped as the taiyoukai's eyes went up and down, examining her body. Sesshomaru stood back up giving her a cold glance and continued.

"Miko a very important scroll arrived today for me saying what I need to do to keep my power of authority." He paced in front of her then stopped.

"Nani?" Kagome asked timidly.

"The Lord of the North requests that I must find a mate to bear an heir for my Lands." He simply explained as if he were teaching her how to play a game instead of confusing her with all his meaningless talk. Kagome had no idea what a mate was. In the whole five years she spent with Inuyasha, he had never mentioned any of this to her.

"Okay. So what is a mate and what does this have to do with me?" Kagome asked getting a frustrated by the second.

"You see dear miko, You are in great dept to me. I have spared your life and that runt kit of yours. I could have easily had both your necks before you could even attack, or escape since that was what you were planning to do."

Kagome couldn't believe what the hell she was hearing. She grinded her teeth in sheer anger and her hands were now in such tight fists that her nails pierced through her palms.

"I AM IN NO DEPT TO THE LIKES OF YOU, YOU MURDERER." Kagome went mad with furry.

Sesshomaru ignored her tone. "Oh but you are miko weather you accept it or not."

"So what do you want from me. I have nothing to give."Kagome stood up from the chair she was thrown in.

"Nothing but you." he said coming towards her. She backed away down into the chair again.

"W-what do you mean?" Kagome didn't like the sound of his voice when he said that. Fear wasn't something she always had for him. Not until ...that day.

"You will become my mate and give me a child for my kingdom-"

"And if a don't?" She cut him off. "Will you kill me instead?" Kagome rather die then betray Inuyasha such as to sleep with the demon who killed him.

"Then I will take the life of that pathetic kit."

'No, no, why doesn't he kill me? Why must he go for Shippo? Why?'

Kagome's head sunk in thought again. She was terrified at this news. She eventually buried her head in her hands and wept in disgust of herself.

Sesshomaru knelt down to her height (but was still a head higher) and whispered in her ear "And there will be no more tears. My mate will be a strong one."

Kagome removed her hands form her eyes and though 'Oh no. What about my family? The jewel is complete now. I can go home, can't I?'

As though reading her mind Sesshomaru then asked for the jewel around her neck.

"Why do you need it?" Kagome asked while her fear was raising sky high.

"Don't take me as a fool Kagome. I know about your little time travel. This is your home now. Do not make me take it from you Kagome." He could see the Shikon no Tama's aura right through her kimono.

Kagome trembled but took her jewel from around her neck and placed it in Sesshomaru's outward hand. Once he took it, the jewel vanished before her eyes. She knew if she asked Sesshomaru would never tell Kagome where it had gone.

He saw the horror in her face and reassured her "It is safe."

She had a blank expression in her appearance 'What have I done? I have given my entire life to the demon who took away my life."

"What does a mate have to do." she finally spoke.

"You will bed by my side and my side only. The punishment for adultery is Death Kagome. You will rule by me and in return earn my protection. And when I say rule by me I mean you are to follow my every command. Speak only when spoken to by me or other royals and when I ask for pleasure, I get it." He put on his smirk at the last rule.

Kagome listened face up but was looking down to the floor with her hands. Everything was happening so fast. For her.

"And ..." Sesshomaru grabbed her chin to look at him. "You will look at me when I am speaking to you. Also don't even think about or mention that half-ling in my company, ever or you will suffer greatly Kagome. I will not allow any harm to come to you by others but I do have the power to punish my mate."

'Wait, half-ling. That's it. He wants an heir but hates half demons. If he mates me then his child will be one. Maybe I can get myself out of this mess.' Kagome thought herself clever at this moment.

"What are you thinking of Kagome?" Sesshomaru noticed her change in mood, and released her chin.

"I was wondering why would you want to mate me if I am human. Your Children would be hanyous then."

"Ah but that is why I have chosen you. Kagome your miko powers can prevent such disturbances as birthing hanyou children. I want a son kagome."

"But I may not have enough spiritual powers. I am not like Kikyo." Kagome's effort was in vein. "If I do have a hanyou child will you kill it? If I have a daughter instead will you kill her?" Tears ran down her face.

Sesshomaru grabbed her face roughly. "I told you not to insult me in my home. I have more honor than to kill my own child, whether it is a hanyou or a female."

"You killed your own-" Kagome halted the statment remembering what he said about Inuyasha being mentioned.

"Good I see you are learning." He held her face more gently and wiped the tears with his thumb. "Do not think to go running off with the child once it is born Kagome."

"I would not do that. I know what it is like to not have a father around." Kagome answered.

"Good." He stood up from her. "The mating ceremony will held on the night of the crescent moon." He told her taking her hand and pulling her up from the chair.

"The crescent moon? But that's in two days. I have just heard this information how can you expect me to adjust to this life within two days?" She complained. All of this was not going too fair for her.

"You will have plenty of time to adjust as Lady of the West within your nine months." Sesshomaru lead Kagome down to his room to show her a few things.

"This is where you will bed by me." Next he lead her to his private spring. It looked the same as hers only bigger. "And this is where you will bathe from now on. "But first I need to see what I am getting in a mate."

"What?" she spun around to face him. "Show me yourself, now!" he ordered.
