CRESCENT MOON'S CAPTURE
BY THE WAY: HERE ARE SOME TRANSLATIONS
AZUMA-Eastern Japan
ENJOY!
TWO MONTHS LATER...
Time has passed. Shippo and Rin were getting along much more now that he was living there. Kagome was two months pregnant with Sesshomaru's baby or babies. They didn't know yet.
Kagome spent her days looking after the teens while Sesshomaru took care of his lands. She did everything he told her to with out complain.
Though she still disliked him with great passion. He took everything from her. Her home, family, friends, and body, but never her faith or pride. Sesshomaru treated Kagome by giving off orders and kissing her daily. He didn't love her but cared for her welfare deeply. Kagome bed by him and honored him as a husband, but she didn't love him. She doubted she ever will.
Kagome was due in the early fall (around September for us). Sometimes she would sit in the pagoda, watching the children take pleasure in one another's company and rubb her bulging belly.
She couldn't help but love the little being in her. It was apart of her. But she did expect her stomach to be a bit smaller at 2 months. Kagome, at first glance you would think she was already four months pass.
She began to have suspicions.
THAT NIGHT-SESSHOMAURU'S BEDRROM.
Kagome was already dress in her evening wear. Sesshomaru always came in after her. She had to admit he was right. She followed orders and he wasn't so bad. Kagome was to be in the bedroom by dusk, look after Rin and look after herself. Kagome hadn't forgotten about Inuyasha. She more like mourned for him in her own time. But never forgot him. Even though, yes, he did cheat on her with Kikyo, and she knew it. But never stopped loving him. She found herself as a traitor more than Inuyasha. At least he cheated with her former self. Kagome actually slept with his older brother!
Sesshomaru came in about 20 minutes after to find Kagome standing at the double wide window. She was staring out at the stars. He inwardly smiled. She looked so beautiful.
"Kagome." he called. Kagome was startled for she didn't hear him come in.
She saw him carrying what seemed to be a necklace of some sort. "Hai Sesshomaru?" she replied.
"Come." was all he said. She approached the great lord with caution. When she was only a foot away he pulled her to a tight embrace.
"Since you are mine I will not have any other demon try and claim you." he said.
"What do you mean?" Kagome knitted her eyebrows in confusion.
"There is a severe war being held in the Azuma. The Lord of the East is very strict when it comes to his territory. He is also a Inu youkai and the battle between him and the Lord of the south will be fierce." Sesshomaru explained to her.
"And you are going to join him in this war?" She asked more worried than confused now.
"Iie. The Eastern Lord will be accompanying us here to discuss the plans in a few moons. It will be dangerous and do not want you be hurt. You will put this on." Sesshomaru showed Kagome this thin blue leathered cocker that had a diamond moon welded to the end of the center.
"What is it?" she asked touching the diamond crescent.
"A mate collar. For your protection."Sesshomaru answered.
But she discovered that it had no way of holding together. The ends were blank of any clasp, hook, or tie.
"How will it stay on my neck?" She asked. Sesshomaru flipped her around and moved her hair from his view. He then put the collar on her graceful neck and like a magnet it hooked automatically.
"It is enchanted to stay in place until I wish for it come off." he told her. Sesshomaru hand was sliding up and down her neck line.
"So I can never take it off, ever?" She knew he wouldn't allow the neckline to be removed.
"Exactly." he hugged her to him from behind, his hands moving to her waist.
"You are forever mine."he cooed in her ear.
"I know." she replied back looking up to the heavens.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Kagome lays upon his chest thinking. She was thinking of what could have been. What she and the love of her life could have accomplished. It was because of him. He stripped her of the life she could of had. A life that would have been a happy one. And yet...as she lay there she couldn't but ponder on the fact that she is becoming a traitor.
'Why does he even care for me as he says?' Kagome thought before she became deary and at last had to fall asleep.
Sesshomaru held onto her during the night. He wasn't about to loose her to some arrogant, son of a bitch youkai who doesn't have the gaul to find his own mate.
Yes. Sesshomaru didn't tell Kagome that the war was between him and the southern lord.
Over her.
Unknown to Kagome, Lord Rei, of the Southern palace came over to collect a bounty from Lord Sesshomaru the other day and noticed Kagome picking flowers with Rin for the baby room about three weeks ago.
He offered to put a price on her. Sesshomaru refused and ordered that he leave his palace at once. Rei threatened him about losing everything if not. Sesshomaru told him then so be it, he rather kill him gladly then put his mate up to the likes of him. And war was declared, Rei left with a glint of evil in his eye.
He planned on ruining Sesshomaru from the start but now he had a mate in mind.
That was the real reason for the collar neck brace. Sesshomaru is trying to protect Kagome from Rei's grasp. The demon already has six mates. He probably though that 7 was the charm.
He has been known to beat and rape his women repeatedly. Sesshomaru would only punish Kagome if she is wild. But not out of hatred.
Rei would only take he for granted and what's worse, he will kill the unborn child she now holds.
Sesshomaru held Kagome tighter and she stirred in her sleep. His eyes pricked red just from the though of that dirty youkai.
Until now he only had business with Lord Rei for slave trades and hired help around the palace. Otherwise he would have not even spared the glutton a glare.
It's not like Sesshomaru doesn't know that Kagome hates him. But she will respect what he does for her. Many would think of him as evil, but people have not seen what the other Lords do with their mates, treating them as animals. Sesshomaru probably would have reconsidered the collar over Kagome. He wanted her to feel comfortable in her new home.
She still had to adjust to some things but wasn't sassing him. Just being a good ruler. Staying by his said and following orders like a mate should. She hasn't been crying anymore also.
But he did know that she hasn't forgotten his half brother. Sesshomaru would gove her kisses whenever he sensed she was thinking of him. Which was whenever she became sad and her heart grew heavy. He will never regret his actions. Sesshomaru owed to kill Inuyasha and he did. The only reason the others died was because they got in his way. Not his fault.
The way he saw it, Kagome wasn't anywhere near as good as that mutt. The lying scoundrel got what he deserved. Death. And know he has the most precious thing I that half breeds life.
And he's not about to lose her.
