Kagome awoke, early once more. She opened her eyes to see that the sun had yet to rise, but would soon. Kagome blinked a couple of times as her mind slowly woke up as well. She felt a dull throb of pain in her neck and legs. Kagome's hand slowly moved to touch her neck, holding in a hiss when her neck flared up in pain when she touched it. 'What is this from?' she thought, allowing her fingers to explore the two puncture wounds on her neck dispute the pain.
Kagome stretched, feeling her muscles, especially the ones in her legs, protest. As soon as she was finished stretching, she felt Sesshomaru's arm wrap around her waist and pulled her bare body to him. "You are up early." Sesshomaru breathed, seeing the mark he had left was slightly red. He placed an open mouth kiss on the mark, hearing her sigh in relief. When he did that, the pain subsided to a small prick.
Kagome turned her head to look back at him when he removed his lips. "What is that from?" she asked, feeling his chest against her back.
"It is a mark telling other demons that you are mine." he stated, allowing one hand to knead her hip while he nuzzled the mark.
"Really?" Kagome questioned, placing a kiss on his temple. He purred his answer, his hand slipping to her lower stomach to rest there. He could almost imagine the pups they would have. He wasn't exactly eager to have pups, but the very idea of making them is what enticed Sesshomaru.
"Sessho, don't we have to get up." Kagome breathed, feeling Sesshomaru's nails lightly drag across her skin, causing shivers to course through her body. He growled against her neck, thinking about all he had to do that day. She stifled a laugh hearing his growl.
"If we must." he mumbled, kissing her neck once more before pulling away. Looking to her neck, he saw he had left several marks from his attention last night. "I'll send a servant to get something for your neck." he added, smiling slightly.
"The mark doesn't hurt." she frowned a little, wondering what he was talking about. Sesshomaru indicated the mirror on the opposite wall. Kagome sat up, wrapping the sheet around her body and gasped. There were hickeys all over her neck and she could easily see the mark where her neck met her shoulder.
"Oh." she squeaked out, turning dark red. Sesshomaru chuckled and leaned over, kissing her and adding to her embarrassment.
"Come on, before I'm tempted to add to your collection." Sesshomaru growled lightly against her lips, pulling away from her and began to pull on his clothes.
Inuyasha walked around the garden, thinking to himself. He was thinking about the attack, when he had blacked out, only to awake breathing hard and kneeling, with Kagome holding him up. That was when he had see the super quick spirit go into his brother. 'So that is why all the Lords and Ladies have gathered. But with the way Sesshomaru was talking, only him and Kagome know about it.' Inuyasha thought, taking a deep breath, smelling the millions of different kinds of flowers in the garden. Inuyasha's mind quit working when he caught another smell. It was a slight hint of cinnamon with an underlying smell of spring water.
And if Inuyasha knew anything about smells and direction, which he did, the creature producing that smell was coming this way from the bend up ahead. Inuyasha jumped up into a tree, waiting to see who might be out in the gardens as well.
Suki rounded the bend, thinking to herself. She had gone to find Kagome, but she wasn't in her room. Suki was curious as to where she went and why she had left early. Suki had a feeling it had to do with Sesshomaru, so she had given up her search and decided to go walking in the garden.
Suki continued down the gravel path when she caught another scent. Pretending she hadn't smelt anyone, she used her senses to pick where it was coming from. Once she knew it was coming from the oak a couple of feet away, Suki looked to a patch of flowers close by. She walked easily over, as if she was going to simply inspect the flowers. Catching a glimpse of red in the trees, Suki used her quick speed to jump into the tree and knock into the red mass.
They both fell to the ground, Inuyasha was so surprised by the demoness's actions he had no time to brace himself. So when Suki crashed into him, they both fell to the soft ground in a tangled mass of limbs and foul language spewing from both.
Suki pulled herself away from him, pushing backwards to see a hanyou with dog ears glaring at her. "Why the fuck did you do that?" the hanyou growled, pulling a twig out of his silver hair.
Suki's green/blue eyes narrowed. "What do you mean what the fuck! You were the asshole spying on people!" Suki growled back, brushing the dirt and leaves out of her long golden locks.
"I wasn't spying, Wench." the Hanyou snapped back, standing and placing his arms in opposite sleeves. He glared down at her while she stared back at him.
"Well are you going to help me up like a proper gentlemen or are you going to stare like the ass you are?" Suki demanded, returning his glare tenfold.
"Fuck, get yourself up, bitch." Inuyasha growled, turning his back on her. Suki's eyes widened in out rage.
"What did you just call me?" she growled under her breath. She quickly gathered her feet under her and pounced, slamming into the back of the hanyou and knocking them both down once more.
"Ump, what are you doing?" Inuyasha growled, attempting to pull himself from her. She was sitting on his chest, glaring down at him with her arms crossed.
"You should have more respect for people. I didn't think someone could be such an ass to someone they didn't even know." Suki sneered.
"Bitch, get off!" Inuyasha growled, getting his elbows beneath him and lifting the top half of his body a little, causing Suki to slide down slightly.
"Asshole, make me." Suki growled back, eyes flashing. She was surprised when the Hanyou pushed up quickly, flipping their positions, leaving her beneath him. He leaned foreword and held her arms above her head to keep her from hitting him.
He smirked down at her pissed off form below him. "I just did." he commented smugly, finally taking an actual look at the person who had slammed into him. She had long, golden hair which flowed out beneath them both. Her blue/green eyes stared up at him, seeming to inspect him with the same curiosity his golden eyes inspected her. The only markings on her was the faint trace of one line crossing her forehead. It was too faint to tell what color it would be.
"What are you looking at, bastard?" Suki sneered, narrowing her eyes up at him. When he didn't answer, she began to squirm.
"Sister, are you experiencing difficulties?" Tsume asked as he approached his sister who was under some male.
"No." Inuyasha answered for her, pushing himself up and looking at the new comer. This demon looked a lot like his elder brother, only with black hair. Suki sat up, glaring at the hanyou. He glanced at her once more, before turning his back to them both, and walked away.
Kagome and Sesshomaru walked out of his room and headed for the study. Sesshomaru's face was once again blank, but Kagome was surprised to see that she was even able to read his emotion with his mask in place. He was deep in thought, but about what, she wasn't sure. She continued to watch him out of the corner of her eye as she thought about all that had happened.
'When Inuyasha yelled then left me, I thought I was dead. And I should've been, but he found me.' Kagome thought, glancing at her mate. A small smile touched her lips when she looked away. 'And I thought I was a dead man then too. But Rin, Sessho's ward, pouted my way into his life.' Kagome thought, clasping her hands behind her back.
Kagome's thoughts wandered to last night. She fought a blush as she remembered all that had happened and how he had looked. He was so tender and passionate, she never would've guessed him capable of being so. When she was with him, she felt safe and wanted. With Inuyasha she had felt frustration and attraction, but did she truly love Inuyasha? With how she felt about Sesshomaru, and comparing the two, she never really loved Inuyasha, it was more of an attraction thing. She loved Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru was also thinking of recent developments. 'I have a mate.' he thought to himself. It still surprised him. He was never interested in females, except the occasional one in heat. But he couldn't control that part. He had at first thought he was only feeling for Kagome because she was in heat. But when she slipped out of it, those feelings remained. He had not been sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. He now realized how much of a good thing it was. If he had not found Kagome, he would've had to take a mate just so he could have a heir. While back then that had been fine with him, it did not settle well now. He glanced at her to see she was deep in thought as well, but unlike him, he could read her expression and see she was happy and content.
They both entered the study Reshki, Kari, and Roku all present. They were talking about something in hushed voices, but stopped when Sesshomaru and Kagome entered. "Good morning, Kagome." Kari smiled then breathed in. One by one, the Guardians threw shocked looks at their Lord. Even the emotionless Roku's eyes widened in shock. Kari could smell Sesshomaru all over Kagome, and his scent had actually mixed with hers, which could only mean one thing. They had mated.
Sesshomaru ignored the shocked and confused looks he received and sat down at his desk. Kagome took a seat along the wall, allowing him to explain even though Kari shot her questioning looks. Sesshomaru cleared his throat slightly, drawing Kari's gaze back to him. "Reshki, I would like you to sift through the ranks, find the best fighters there and bring them to me. I will decide if they are worthy enough." Sesshomaru cut the stunned silence with an order.
Reshki and Kari shared a look before Reshki stood and walked out. "Roku, inform the other Lords and Ladies that I cannot attend today's meeting." Sesshomaru stated, glancing in Kagome's direction. She looked back with confusion on her face.
'Why is he skipping a meeting?' she thought, holding his gaze for a moment.
"Tell them that they are welcomed to meet my new mate, if they wish." He finished, setting his hands on his desk and leaning foreword. Roku bowed, then walked out. Kari sat, still stunned. Her mind was racing a million miles an hour.
'Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru? I dared to dream it, but it really happened?' Kari thought, looking at Kagome, who was watching Sesshomaru. Kari could read Kagome's expression like an open book. With the warm, loving look she threw her Lord's way, she knew it was true. What shocked Kari more, was Lord Sesshomaru returned that look. While Kari couldn't read the feelings behind that look, she was sure Kagome could.
Kari knew what it was like to have a mate, to be able to tell things about the other that no one else could. Thinking about Lord Sesshomaru and Kagome brought Kari's thoughts to her own mate. She resisted the urge to place her hand on her own mark, the mark Reshki had given her in the heat of their passion.
"Kari. It has been awhile since I have patrolled my lands. Since I need to stay here with Kagome...for now...I need you to do the patrol." Sesshomaru ordered his day dreaming Guardian.
Kari snapped back to reality, fighting back the blush that almost worked it's way onto her cheeks. Kari stood and bowed, walking out and beginning her patrol.
Trey walked toward the barracks gate. Trey was a wolf youkai, fast, agile, and fierce. He was a commander under Lord Sesshomaru. As Trey walked to the barracks, he tried to think of what he could've done wrong to cause Girth to call him. Girth was the second in command, under Lord Sesshomaru and the Guardians.
Trey held himself well for a sixty year old demon. He wasn't old and his tanned skin and sharp deep blue eyes showed that. He wore simple clothes, dark brown pants and a brown shirt. His wolf tail was wrapped around his waist, much like a belt. His black hair was short and spiked naturally. He was thankful he didn't have to tie it up overtime he wished to get into a fight.
He pushed the door opened, seeing Girth, the first serious Kitsune he had ever met, sitting behind a desk. Girth was in his older years, but he still put all the younger demons to shame. Girth wasn't exactly tall, but he wasn't short either. He came up to Trey's smooth chin, and Trey was medium height for a male. Girth was not a surprise to him, the Guardian standing beside him was. It took Trey a minute to recall what Guardian this was, for he had never actually seen the legendary Guardians that protected his Lord, but he had been taught their appearance and was supposed to show them proper respect on sight. The Guardians were the best of the best.
Trey immediately dropped to his knees, staring at the black pants on the Guardian and trying to remember. He sighed in disappointment when it would not come to him. He heard the door crack open once more, and another dropped to their knees beside him. Sparing a quick glance, Trey could see it was his friend and competitor, Hiraku.
Hiraku, also a commander, was a wolf demon as well. Hiraku could swing a heavy sword better then the rest, but he had no finesse, no agility. That was why Trey could beat him in almost any fight. As long as Trey stayed out of the path of Hiraku's heavy sword, he could defeat him. But should he come into the blades path, Trey had no doubt Hiraku could cleave him in two. Trey's light weight sword was not match to Hiraku's.
"Commander Trey and Commander Hiraku, this is Lord Sesshomaru's Gaurdian, the panther youkai, Reshki." Girth introduced. Just as soon as the old Kitsune said the name, Trey was worried. He had heard of this Reshki Gaurdian. More fierce and agile then any demon alive other then Lord Sesshomaru himself. He was a special kind of panther too. A black panther, able to slip into the shadows and disappear.
Trey made sure they could not smell his slight fear and uncertainty. What commander would he be if he shown fear all the time? Reshki studied them as they kneeled on the floor, taking in both scent and smelling nothing. They didn't know it, but Reshki had been sizing them up ever since they had walked into the door.
Reshki was growing bored. He had seen four others and none of them had a spark of intelligence. Two were impressive fighters, but a Gaurdian needed a quick mind as well as a quick body. "Rise up, Commanders." Reshki ordered in a stern voice. He hated playing the part of a big, bad Gaurdian, but he had a reputation to uphold. 'This is more Roku's part then mine.' Reshki thought, watching the two wolf youkai rise.
He watched the tanned wolfs blue eyes, seeing that this wolf demon knew who he was and what he was capable of. Looking to the other demons green eyes, he didn't see much thought there. But glancing along the green eyed demons body, he could see the muscle and power there, more so then the others.
"Are these more to your liking?" Girth asked as if they were inspecting a piece of meat.
Reshki walked foreword, circling both and actually considering these two. "What position?" Reshki mumbled out loud, crossing his arms.
"Commanders." Girth replied. Trey didn't try to figure out what they were talking about. He wasn't sure he wanted to know. He was surprised when the Gaurdian stood right in front of him, matching him for height. Trey looked back into the Guardians fierce eyes.
"Wolf huh?" Reshki stated, allowing a smirk to play across his face. Trey fought down his anger at the smirk while Hiraku stood motionlessly at his side.
"Can you fight, wolf?" Reshki continued, secretly injuring the smoldering anger in the young wolf's eyes. This was just a test, of course. He wasn't actually poking fun at the wolf youkai, but this was always Reshki's favorite part.
"Yes, Gaurdian Reshki." Trey stated, choking off the growl wanting to escape. 'I couldn't beat him anyways. I'd be put to shame.' Trey tried to convince himself on how it would not be a smooth move to attempt an attack on the Gaurdian.
"What does it take to be a Gaurdian, Commander?" Reshki asked, keeping the ice in his tone. That question blew Trey out of the water.
He almost stuttered his answer, but quickly put the force back behind his words. "..Loyalty." Trey answered.
Reshki nodded in agreement. He had said the same thing with Inutaishou's Guardians had come down to seek out a Gaurdian for his son.
"And you, Commander Hiraku, what does it take to be a Gaurdian?" Reshki asked without taking his gaze off of the young wolf.
"Strength." the demon wolf replied immediately. 'That was the answer Roku gave.' Reshki silently thought. He spun on his heels to face Girth.
Reshki flashed him a smile and said, "I'll take 'em!"
Kagome sat in the study with Sango, while Sesshomaru worked on Kagome could only guess. Sango had brought Shippo and had left Inuyasha and Miroku in their rooms. Shippo was looking out the window, for once leaving Kagome and Sango alone for a moment. Once Kagome was sure that Shippo wasn't paying attention, she grabbed a hold of Sango and ran in between two of the dozens of shelves.
"Kagome, what are you doing?" Sango asked being pulled deeper into the shelved area of the study.
Once Kagome was sure she was deep enough that Shippo and her mate couldn't hear her speak, Kagome stopped. She turned back to Sango with a smile on her face. She had wanted to tell Sango that she was mates with Sesshomaru, but didn't want Sesshomaru to hear if Sango had negative comments.
"I have to tell you something." Kagome stated, glancing around at the hundreds of books all around her.
Sango couldn't help the chuckle that slipped past her lips. "Is it something you don't want Sesshomaru to hear?" Sango giggled.
"The only reason I don't want him to hear is because I'm not sure how you will react and I don't want him mad if you say the wrong thing." Kagome replied, crossing her arms with a serious expression on her face.
"Ok, Kagome. So tell me." Sango stated, her curiosity snagged.
"Sessho is my....well, I'm his..... mate." Kagome breathed out, feelings a huge weight lift off of her shoulders.
Sango's eyes got wide in surprise. 'That means they...' Sango thought, seeing Kagome grow nervous under the look she was receiving.
Kagome about jumped out of her skin when Sango quickly hugged her, a tear escaping her grasp. "Why didn't you tell me sooner! Congratulations!" Sango stated happily.
"I would've told you sooner...but, well, today is day one." Kagome stated, hearing Sango chuckle. Sango pulled away, a huge smile on her face.
"Are you happy?" Sango asked.
Sango's smile rubbed off on Kagome, who replied, "The happiest I've been!" In the short silence that followed, Kagome heard the study door open. She grabbed hold of Sango's hand and walked out of the shelves to see her mate standing and looking at Reshki, who had just entered the door.
"My Lord, the fighters you requested are in the dojo." Reshki stated, slightly smiling when he caught sight of Kagome. Sango stopped slightly behind Kagome, who scooped up Shippo and stood beside her mate.
"I will meet you there in a minute." Sesshomaru stated. Reshki bowed, then left. Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome and she knew what she had to do.
She turned to Sango, who also understood. "Alright, alright. I'm going. Shippo, come with me and leave these two alone." Sango rolled her eyes slightly, but smiled, taking away from the effect.
"I don't want to leave Kagome." Shippo pouted.
"Come on, Shippo. I'm sure Inuyasha would love to play with you!" Sango fought to keep her laugh down.
"Really?!" Shippo asked hopefully, looking up at Kagome for confirmation. She nodded, also fighting down a laughing fit. Shippo jumped to Sango, who then walked out of the door with a wave.
Kagome spun to face her mate, clasping her hands behind her back while she smiled up at him. He raised an eye brow, but chose not to comment. Before walking out of the door, he placed a quick kiss on her lips.
Trey and Hiraku stood in Lord Sesshomaru's dojo. Never had Trey imagined he would be here. "What do you think we're here for?" Hiraku asked, marveling at the weapon rack.
Trey snorted, walking in a circle, taking in all of the dojo. "Who knows. Maybe Lord Sesshomaru needs entertainment." Trey chuckled, seeing Hiraku shoot him a fearful look.
"Neither of us are a match for Lord Sesshomaru." Hiraku stated, looking back to the weapons.
"Have you even seen him fight?" Trey asked, glancing at the high ceiling.
"Come to think of it, I haven't." Hiraku stated, then joked, "What if he really isn't that good?"
Trey shot him a skeptical look. He had never actually seen Lord Sesshomaru. He was to low of a rank to be allowed in the presence of the great Inu TaiYoukai.
"Care to test that theory?" stated a deep, emotionless voice from the door way.

"Sessho, don't we have to get up." Kagome breathed, feeling Sesshomaru's nails lightly drag across her skin, causing shivers to course through her body. He growled against her neck, thinking about all he had to do that day. She stifled a laugh hearing his growl.
"If we must." he mumbled, kissing her neck once more before pulling away. Looking to her neck, he saw he had left several marks from his attention last night. "I'll send a servant to get something for your neck." he added, smiling slightly.
"The mark doesn't hurt." she frowned a little, wondering what he was talking about. Sesshomaru indicated the mirror on the opposite wall. Kagome sat up, wrapping the sheet around her body and gasped. There were hickeys all over her neck and she could easily see the mark where her neck met her shoulder.
"Oh." she squeaked out, turning dark red. Sesshomaru chuckled and leaned over, kissing her and adding to her embarrassment.
"Come on, before I'm tempted to add to your collection." Sesshomaru growled lightly against her lips, pulling away from her and began to pull on his clothes.
Inuyasha walked around the garden, thinking to himself. He was thinking about the attack, when he had blacked out, only to awake breathing hard and kneeling, with Kagome holding him up. That was when he had see the super quick spirit go into his brother. 'So that is why all the Lords and Ladies have gathered. But with the way Sesshomaru was talking, only him and Kagome know about it.' Inuyasha thought, taking a deep breath, smelling the millions of different kinds of flowers in the garden. Inuyasha's mind quit working when he caught another smell. It was a slight hint of cinnamon with an underlying smell of spring water.
And if Inuyasha knew anything about smells and direction, which he did, the creature producing that smell was coming this way from the bend up ahead. Inuyasha jumped up into a tree, waiting to see who might be out in the gardens as well.

"What did you just call me?" she growled under her breath. She quickly gathered her feet under her and pounced, slamming into the back of the hanyou and knocking them both down once more.
"Ump, what are you doing?" Inuyasha growled, attempting to pull himself from her. She was sitting on his chest, glaring down at him with her arms crossed.
"You should have more respect for people. I didn't think someone could be such an ass to someone they didn't even know." Suki sneered.
"Bitch, get off!" Inuyasha growled, getting his elbows beneath him and lifting the top half of his body a little, causing Suki to slide down slightly.
"Asshole, make me." Suki growled back, eyes flashing. She was surprised when the Hanyou pushed up quickly, flipping their positions, leaving her beneath him. He leaned foreword and held her arms above her head to keep her from hitting him.
He smirked down at her pissed off form below him. "I just did." he commented smugly, finally taking an actual look at the person who had slammed into him. She had long, golden hair which flowed out beneath them both. Her blue/green eyes stared up at him, seeming to inspect him with the same curiosity his golden eyes inspected her. The only markings on her was the faint trace of one line crossing her forehead. It was too faint to tell what color it would be.
"What are you looking at, bastard?" Suki sneered, narrowing her eyes up at him. When he didn't answer, she began to squirm.
"Sister, are you experiencing difficulties?" Tsume asked as he approached his sister who was under some male.
"No." Inuyasha answered for her, pushing himself up and looking at the new comer. This demon looked a lot like his elder brother, only with black hair. Suki sat up, glaring at the hanyou. He glanced at her once more, before turning his back to them both, and walked away.
Kagome and Sesshomaru walked out of his room and headed for the study. Sesshomaru's face was once again blank, but Kagome was surprised to see that she was even able to read his emotion with his mask in place. He was deep in thought, but about what, she wasn't sure. She continued to watch him out of the corner of her eye as she thought about all that had happened.
'When Inuyasha yelled then left me, I thought I was dead. And I should've been, but he found me.' Kagome thought, glancing at her mate. A small smile touched her lips when she looked away. 'And I thought I was a dead man then too. But Rin, Sessho's ward, pouted my way into his life.' Kagome thought, clasping her hands behind her back.
Kagome's thoughts wandered to last night. She fought a blush as she remembered all that had happened and how he had looked. He was so tender and passionate, she never would've guessed him capable of being so. When she was with him, she felt safe and wanted. With Inuyasha she had felt frustration and attraction, but did she truly love Inuyasha? With how she felt about Sesshomaru, and comparing the two, she never really loved Inuyasha, it was more of an attraction thing. She loved Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru was also thinking of recent developments. 'I have a mate.' he thought to himself. It still surprised him. He was never interested in females, except the occasional one in heat. But he couldn't control that part. He had at first thought he was only feeling for Kagome because she was in heat. But when she slipped out of it, those feelings remained. He had not been sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. He now realized how much of a good thing it was. If he had not found Kagome, he would've had to take a mate just so he could have a heir. While back then that had been fine with him, it did not settle well now. He glanced at her to see she was deep in thought as well, but unlike him, he could read her expression and see she was happy and content.
They both entered the study Reshki, Kari, and Roku all present. They were talking about something in hushed voices, but stopped when Sesshomaru and Kagome entered. "Good morning, Kagome." Kari smiled then breathed in. One by one, the Guardians threw shocked looks at their Lord. Even the emotionless Roku's eyes widened in shock. Kari could smell Sesshomaru all over Kagome, and his scent had actually mixed with hers, which could only mean one thing. They had mated.
Sesshomaru ignored the shocked and confused looks he received and sat down at his desk. Kagome took a seat along the wall, allowing him to explain even though Kari shot her questioning looks. Sesshomaru cleared his throat slightly, drawing Kari's gaze back to him. "Reshki, I would like you to sift through the ranks, find the best fighters there and bring them to me. I will decide if they are worthy enough." Sesshomaru cut the stunned silence with an order.
Reshki and Kari shared a look before Reshki stood and walked out. "Roku, inform the other Lords and Ladies that I cannot attend today's meeting." Sesshomaru stated, glancing in Kagome's direction. She looked back with confusion on her face.
'Why is he skipping a meeting?' she thought, holding his gaze for a moment.
"Tell them that they are welcomed to meet my new mate, if they wish." He finished, setting his hands on his desk and leaning foreword. Roku bowed, then walked out. Kari sat, still stunned. Her mind was racing a million miles an hour.
'Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru? I dared to dream it, but it really happened?' Kari thought, looking at Kagome, who was watching Sesshomaru. Kari could read Kagome's expression like an open book. With the warm, loving look she threw her Lord's way, she knew it was true. What shocked Kari more, was Lord Sesshomaru returned that look. While Kari couldn't read the feelings behind that look, she was sure Kagome could.
Kari knew what it was like to have a mate, to be able to tell things about the other that no one else could. Thinking about Lord Sesshomaru and Kagome brought Kari's thoughts to her own mate. She resisted the urge to place her hand on her own mark, the mark Reshki had given her in the heat of their passion.
"Kari. It has been awhile since I have patrolled my lands. Since I need to stay here with Kagome...for now...I need you to do the patrol." Sesshomaru ordered his day dreaming Guardian.
Kari snapped back to reality, fighting back the blush that almost worked it's way onto her cheeks. Kari stood and bowed, walking out and beginning her patrol.
Trey walked toward the barracks gate. Trey was a wolf youkai, fast, agile, and fierce. He was a commander under Lord Sesshomaru. As Trey walked to the barracks, he tried to think of what he could've done wrong to cause Girth to call him. Girth was the second in command, under Lord Sesshomaru and the Guardians.
Trey held himself well for a sixty year old demon. He wasn't old and his tanned skin and sharp deep blue eyes showed that. He wore simple clothes, dark brown pants and a brown shirt. His wolf tail was wrapped around his waist, much like a belt. His black hair was short and spiked naturally. He was thankful he didn't have to tie it up overtime he wished to get into a fight.
He pushed the door opened, seeing Girth, the first serious Kitsune he had ever met, sitting behind a desk. Girth was in his older years, but he still put all the younger demons to shame. Girth wasn't exactly tall, but he wasn't short either. He came up to Trey's smooth chin, and Trey was medium height for a male. Girth was not a surprise to him, the Guardian standing beside him was. It took Trey a minute to recall what Guardian this was, for he had never actually seen the legendary Guardians that protected his Lord, but he had been taught their appearance and was supposed to show them proper respect on sight. The Guardians were the best of the best.
Trey immediately dropped to his knees, staring at the black pants on the Guardian and trying to remember. He sighed in disappointment when it would not come to him. He heard the door crack open once more, and another dropped to their knees beside him. Sparing a quick glance, Trey could see it was his friend and competitor, Hiraku.
Hiraku, also a commander, was a wolf demon as well. Hiraku could swing a heavy sword better then the rest, but he had no finesse, no agility. That was why Trey could beat him in almost any fight. As long as Trey stayed out of the path of Hiraku's heavy sword, he could defeat him. But should he come into the blades path, Trey had no doubt Hiraku could cleave him in two. Trey's light weight sword was not match to Hiraku's.
"Commander Trey and Commander Hiraku, this is Lord Sesshomaru's Gaurdian, the panther youkai, Reshki." Girth introduced. Just as soon as the old Kitsune said the name, Trey was worried. He had heard of this Reshki Gaurdian. More fierce and agile then any demon alive other then Lord Sesshomaru himself. He was a special kind of panther too. A black panther, able to slip into the shadows and disappear.
Trey made sure they could not smell his slight fear and uncertainty. What commander would he be if he shown fear all the time? Reshki studied them as they kneeled on the floor, taking in both scent and smelling nothing. They didn't know it, but Reshki had been sizing them up ever since they had walked into the door.
Reshki was growing bored. He had seen four others and none of them had a spark of intelligence. Two were impressive fighters, but a Gaurdian needed a quick mind as well as a quick body. "Rise up, Commanders." Reshki ordered in a stern voice. He hated playing the part of a big, bad Gaurdian, but he had a reputation to uphold. 'This is more Roku's part then mine.' Reshki thought, watching the two wolf youkai rise.
He watched the tanned wolfs blue eyes, seeing that this wolf demon knew who he was and what he was capable of. Looking to the other demons green eyes, he didn't see much thought there. But glancing along the green eyed demons body, he could see the muscle and power there, more so then the others.
"Are these more to your liking?" Girth asked as if they were inspecting a piece of meat.
Reshki walked foreword, circling both and actually considering these two. "What position?" Reshki mumbled out loud, crossing his arms.
"Commanders." Girth replied. Trey didn't try to figure out what they were talking about. He wasn't sure he wanted to know. He was surprised when the Gaurdian stood right in front of him, matching him for height. Trey looked back into the Guardians fierce eyes.
"Wolf huh?" Reshki stated, allowing a smirk to play across his face. Trey fought down his anger at the smirk while Hiraku stood motionlessly at his side.
"Can you fight, wolf?" Reshki continued, secretly injuring the smoldering anger in the young wolf's eyes. This was just a test, of course. He wasn't actually poking fun at the wolf youkai, but this was always Reshki's favorite part.
"Yes, Gaurdian Reshki." Trey stated, choking off the growl wanting to escape. 'I couldn't beat him anyways. I'd be put to shame.' Trey tried to convince himself on how it would not be a smooth move to attempt an attack on the Gaurdian.
"What does it take to be a Gaurdian, Commander?" Reshki asked, keeping the ice in his tone. That question blew Trey out of the water.
He almost stuttered his answer, but quickly put the force back behind his words. "..Loyalty." Trey answered.
Reshki nodded in agreement. He had said the same thing with Inutaishou's Guardians had come down to seek out a Gaurdian for his son.
"And you, Commander Hiraku, what does it take to be a Gaurdian?" Reshki asked without taking his gaze off of the young wolf.
"Strength." the demon wolf replied immediately. 'That was the answer Roku gave.' Reshki silently thought. He spun on his heels to face Girth.
Reshki flashed him a smile and said, "I'll take 'em!"
Kagome sat in the study with Sango, while Sesshomaru worked on Kagome could only guess. Sango had brought Shippo and had left Inuyasha and Miroku in their rooms. Shippo was looking out the window, for once leaving Kagome and Sango alone for a moment. Once Kagome was sure that Shippo wasn't paying attention, she grabbed a hold of Sango and ran in between two of the dozens of shelves.
"Kagome, what are you doing?" Sango asked being pulled deeper into the shelved area of the study.
Once Kagome was sure she was deep enough that Shippo and her mate couldn't hear her speak, Kagome stopped. She turned back to Sango with a smile on her face. She had wanted to tell Sango that she was mates with Sesshomaru, but didn't want Sesshomaru to hear if Sango had negative comments.
"I have to tell you something." Kagome stated, glancing around at the hundreds of books all around her.
Sango couldn't help the chuckle that slipped past her lips. "Is it something you don't want Sesshomaru to hear?" Sango giggled.
"The only reason I don't want him to hear is because I'm not sure how you will react and I don't want him mad if you say the wrong thing." Kagome replied, crossing her arms with a serious expression on her face.
"Ok, Kagome. So tell me." Sango stated, her curiosity snagged.
"Sessho is my....well, I'm his..... mate." Kagome breathed out, feelings a huge weight lift off of her shoulders.
Sango's eyes got wide in surprise. 'That means they...' Sango thought, seeing Kagome grow nervous under the look she was receiving.
Kagome about jumped out of her skin when Sango quickly hugged her, a tear escaping her grasp. "Why didn't you tell me sooner! Congratulations!" Sango stated happily.
"I would've told you sooner...but, well, today is day one." Kagome stated, hearing Sango chuckle. Sango pulled away, a huge smile on her face.
"Are you happy?" Sango asked.
Sango's smile rubbed off on Kagome, who replied, "The happiest I've been!" In the short silence that followed, Kagome heard the study door open. She grabbed hold of Sango's hand and walked out of the shelves to see her mate standing and looking at Reshki, who had just entered the door.
"My Lord, the fighters you requested are in the dojo." Reshki stated, slightly smiling when he caught sight of Kagome. Sango stopped slightly behind Kagome, who scooped up Shippo and stood beside her mate.
"I will meet you there in a minute." Sesshomaru stated. Reshki bowed, then left. Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome and she knew what she had to do.
She turned to Sango, who also understood. "Alright, alright. I'm going. Shippo, come with me and leave these two alone." Sango rolled her eyes slightly, but smiled, taking away from the effect.
"I don't want to leave Kagome." Shippo pouted.
"Come on, Shippo. I'm sure Inuyasha would love to play with you!" Sango fought to keep her laugh down.
"Really?!" Shippo asked hopefully, looking up at Kagome for confirmation. She nodded, also fighting down a laughing fit. Shippo jumped to Sango, who then walked out of the door with a wave.
Kagome spun to face her mate, clasping her hands behind her back while she smiled up at him. He raised an eye brow, but chose not to comment. Before walking out of the door, he placed a quick kiss on her lips.
Trey and Hiraku stood in Lord Sesshomaru's dojo. Never had Trey imagined he would be here. "What do you think we're here for?" Hiraku asked, marveling at the weapon rack.
Trey snorted, walking in a circle, taking in all of the dojo. "Who knows. Maybe Lord Sesshomaru needs entertainment." Trey chuckled, seeing Hiraku shoot him a fearful look.
"Neither of us are a match for Lord Sesshomaru." Hiraku stated, looking back to the weapons.
"Have you even seen him fight?" Trey asked, glancing at the high ceiling.
"Come to think of it, I haven't." Hiraku stated, then joked, "What if he really isn't that good?"
Trey shot him a skeptical look. He had never actually seen Lord Sesshomaru. He was to low of a rank to be allowed in the presence of the great Inu TaiYoukai.
"Care to test that theory?" stated a deep, emotionless voice from the door way.
