more to come
Kagome felt her eyes flutter as her mind turned back on, slowly she opened her eyes. It was light out, the sun only just rising. Her eyes adjusted and she found herself staring into amber orbs.
She shrieked, rolled onto her back and fell into a fit of giggles. " You scared the shit out of me."
Tashio just smirked, sitting up, looking to the laughing female, " I thought you were having a nightmare."
Kagome blinked, settling her giggles, " Nightmare?" she thought back, was she just having a nightmare? She tried thinking back, to remember what she was just dreaming about. Something about... a room or something. She shrugged, sitting up, " I don't remember."
Blue eyes glanced around, " Where's Ses?"
Tashio raised a brow, " You two on the level of nicknames now?"
Kagome just laughed, " You don't want to know what I call you behind your back." stretching her arms over her head for a moment, she rubbed her stomach, " I'm starved, wanna go to the kitchen?"
Tashio blinked, " Depends, can you cook?"
Kagome rolled her eyes, she could see where Sesshomaru got his expensive taste buds from, " You'll see."
She slid out of bed again stretching as she walked over to her closet. Tashio just watched her walk around in her underwear not the least bit shy about her body. His eyes rolled over her slowly and what a body she had. " That's an interesting tattoo you have."
Kagome just glanced behind her as she opened the closet door, " I'm thinking about getting more."
Tashio smirked at the nonchalance of the comment, " Does it mean anything?"
Kagome slid on a pair of black terry cloth shorts, " Nah, I just wanted to look bad ass."
He watched her pull on a white tank top and fuzzy slippers, " It does fit your job description."
Kagome again laughed, moving over to the attached bathroom, she begin washing her face with the door open, " I like my job."
Tashio leaned back on the edge of the bed he was sitting on, " You don't have to be tough to prove a point."
Kagome tipped her head into the room, one hand brushing her teeth, " As a feminist that statement does not apply to me. A girl can be just as tough as a guy."
Tashio laughed as he heard water running, Kagome stepped out, drying her mouth with a paper towel. Tashio just stood, " Feminism is not about being better than a man, feminism is about choice."
She grinned, " And I chose to be a bad ass." she grabbed his hand, " Now come on, I'm starving."
In the kitchen Kagome went straight for the refrigerator as Tashio sat at the island, watching her. Opening it she took out the steak she knew was in there from the other night. She was going to make steak and cheese sandwiches, taking out everything else she would need.
Setting everything on the counter, she grabbed a knife and began chopping red and green peppers, onions, a tomato and mushrooms. Tashio watched her, she was comfortable in the kitchen. " Where did you learn to cook?"
Turning on the fire, she added a small slab of butter to the skillet before dousing everything she just chopped with some Italian dressing. " Like I told your son, I just got a talent for things." she said, mixing everything together she poured it all in the skillet, she smiled, listening to the sizzle, she loved that sound.
As that sauteed, she cut the steak into thinner strips before seasoning them and also adding them to the fire. " Besides, I like cooking."
Tashio just watched her, with a raised brow, she can fight, work, and cook, " What is it you can't do girl?"
She laughed, as she moved to the counter and cut two 6in pieces of sourdough bread, " That's a good question." she grinned, lathering some mayo on one side with a few pieces of fresh baby kale, then the other side with cheddar cheese. Turning she picked up the skillet and layered everything into the rolls, then added more cheese on top.
Setting the skillet down, she turned off the fire and frowned looking at the left overs in the pan. There was enough for another sandwich and she was never one to waste food so she cut another piece of bread and made another sandwich and set it on the counter on top of some aluminum foil. Grabbing some plates, she set her and Tashio's sandwich on the bar like island in the middle of the kitchen. She grabbed some cups and poured orange juice into them when she saw her lover walk into the kitchen.
She smiled, " Hey baby, you hungry?"
He nodded, " Yes."
The elder demon has already bit into his sandwich, " Holy hell, this is delicious."
Kagome laughed, setting the 3rd sandwich she made on a plate and sliding it in front of her husband as he sat behind the bar like island. Tashio shook his head, eating more of his food, " Damn girl you throw down like this in the kitchen?"
Kagome just smiled, the sandwich was delicious, cooking was her therapy and she was damn good at it. " It's one of my many talents." she said, digging into her own food.
Tashio nodded, " This is A1 work, I wish Kimi could cook like this."
Kagome raised a brow, the time she spent with Kimi was short but that next morning the demoness did make her breakfast, " Kimi knows how to cook, what are you talking about?"
Tashio laughed, " Well, the last thing she made for me was something with vegetables and fish and seaweed and mushrooms."
Kagome raised a brow at the description, " Do you mean Kaiseki ryori?"
Tashio shrugged, " Whatever it was tasted like swamp water and dirt."
Kagome shook her head with a grin, " Kaiseki ryori is regarded as Japan's most exquisite culinary refinement."
" I ain't like it."
Kagome laughed, watching as the Inus ate their food, both of their heads tilted slightly to the left as they ate, they had more in common than they thought. She smiled, shaking her head, that was too cute, she thought, polishing off the rest of her food. She suddenly stood, " I want pancakes, anybody want pancakes?"
Tashio's hand immediately went in the air, Sesshomaru glanced to his father, then just shook his head. " You just ate."
Tashio glanced over, " I still got room for more, I didn't know she can cook."
Kagome just laughed, " Don't worry baby, I'll make your favorite." she said, leaning over and turning on the small radio on the counter.
Kagome giggled as she opened the fridge again, the two inus watching her take many ingredients out the fridge and set them on a counter.
She smiled as she glanced up, " So, anybody gonna explain what happened?"
Tashio frowned, " What do you mean?"
A smiled curved across her lips, " I wake up to Tashio babysitting me. Something went down.." She said moving around the big kitchen, taking out everything she would need. She raised a brow, slicing fruit on the chopping board, " Last thing I remember is falling out the sky."
Tashio lips pulled up in a slight smirk, " Do you remember crashing?"
Kagome mixed batter in a bowl, " It's pretty fuzzy."
A hand picked up the newspaper on the island, " Its all over the news. The fall and my disappearance from work for the last day."
Kagome laughed, turning towards the two frying pans she had on the stove, " Why does everyone assume everything I do relates to a man."
Sesshomaru looked at her, seeing the playfulness in her beautiful eyes, " Shut up."
She laughed, the soft mellow sound floating through the kitchen, her delicious laughter contagious making Sesshomaru smirk at her, relaxing gradually in her presence. Tashio blinked, watching the interaction unfold, he never seen his son like this. So openly in love.
He raised a brow, then blinked as two plates were set on the table. One was pushed in front of him. It was a plate of banana cream puff pancakes, dripping with chocolate sauce, blueberries, a strawberry on top and a touch of whip cream. He blinked again, " Damn girl." digging in.
Sesshomaru just picked up a fork, seeing she indeed made his favorite fluffy broccoli, bacon and cheddar cheese omelet. Kagome smiled, turned off the stove, " How long was I out?"
" About 25-30 hrs." Tashio mumbled, mouth full of food.
" I'mma go lay down." She said, walking over to her husband, standing behind him, she leaned over his shoulder, placing a cup of coffee beside his arm and kissed his cheek. " Tell me when Tashio leaves." she whispered with a wink.
Sesshomaru glanced at her as she picked up a plate of food and headed out the room. Tashio waited until he was sure she was upstairs to turn to his son, " Did you find out anything?"
Sesshomaru frowned with a soft nod, " I'm not sure if it's the truth." he mumbled, before telling him the story that was told to him.
Tashio listened to his son speak softly as he ate the rest of his delicious pancakes. 10 minutes into it and he was thinking just like his son, how was any of this possible. He took the time to drink the rest of his juice before shaking his head with a sigh, " In a way, it makes sense. But then again it all sounds crazy."
Sesshomaru agreed, finishing his own plate, " It explains the solitary in prison and her massive strength. She can jump like a demon, heal like a demon and can see in the dark."
Tashio frowned, " But what does this have to do with Naraku and this war?"
Sesshomaru shook his head, " I don't know, the priestess said she doesn't know what happened that night. Kagome told me, he was the reason she was arrested so he must have been there."
Amber eyes glanced over, " You think he's the reason the demon spirit was awoken?"
Sesshomaru just frowned, " I don't think she stabbed her sister." he answered with, picking up his cup of coffee. He blinked after taking a sip, he didn't remember ever telling her how he liked it. But here it was, black with 3 sugars, sweet but tart, it made him smirk, how did she know that?
It made him look at his son. The sudden feeling of Sesshomaru's happiness in a warm wave washing over his body. Tashio raised a brow, seeing his son still smirking, looking at his cup of coffee in a daze. " What is it?"
Sesshomaru blinked, focusing, looking up at his father then back to the cup in his hand. " She knew how I liked my coffee without me telling her."
He shook his head at the blank look on his father face, " She knows my favorite color without me telling her. She knows I like sunsets, she knows I like fast cars, she knows I hate peas..." he paused, trying to explain, " She figures something out about me and just slips it into everyday life."
Tashio smirked, regardless of what Kagome was, it seemed she and his son was good for each other. He stood, he almost wanted to stay for dinner to see what Kagome was cooking but he had heard what she whispered to his son. They wanted some alone time, " Let me have my guy check into this story."
Sesshomaru nodded and stood, walking with his father down the hall, " I'll let you know what else I find out."
Tashio nodded, " Until then, don't stress about her past." he touched his son's shoulder so he would look at him, " Just enjoy her presence now."
Sesshomaru simply nodded to his father's words, Tashio smirked, " I'll let myself out." heading towards the front entrance.
A few minutes later, Sesshomaru was walking into his bedroom, looking for his female, instead of the sleeping miko he expected to find, he turned seeing her coming out of the bathroom, naked, drying her hair with a towel and drinking her cup of juice. She smiled at seeing him, setting the cup down and shaking her head, " Hey baby."
His eyes rolled over her slowly, her body was so flawless, curved and firm, tight and toned. The tattoo on her side covering a portion of her abs. Kagome blinked at the staring and raised a brow, dropping the wet towel to the floor, " What?"
He just stepped forward, touching her waist, lifting her to him, kissing her lips. She smiled into his flavor, arms going around his neck as he carried her to the bed, laying her down on the soft mattress. The kissing never stopping as Kagome pulled at his clothes, he assisted her in taking off his top before moving his lips down the crook of her neck. She moaned softly, tangling a hand in his hair, the other running down his back, she loved how soft his lips were, how amazing they felt touching her.
His mouth again moved over hers, swallowing her moans as he rubbed his harden member into her soaked heat letting her know how much he wanted her. She let out a small gasp. He pulled away from her mouth and slowly descended down again only to stop to lick the valley between her large soft breast. Kagome eyes fluttered in pleasure, " Sesshomaru.." she moaned out.
The way she said his name did something to him. He moved up to taste her mouth again. She was so sweet and addicting. Sesshomaru loved the way her creamy thighs rubbed against his skin. It turned him on, the reason why he liked being on top of her, the way they wrapped around his waist. The feel of her hands touching him, the way she pressed against him. The noises she made. All of it. He was gentle, touching her softly. Lovingly. Slow sensual thrusts. Long satin kisses. Delicate caresses of the skin. Her moans smooth and creamy. Perhaps this was something real.
Kagome woke up a few hours later to a soft touch stroking her head. Her eyes opened slowly, seeing she was laying on Sesshomaru's chest, his hand threading through her hair.
She glanced up with a smile, " You woke me up."
He looked down, not realizing what he was doing, he just frowned though she couldn't see it, " The monk has arranged a banquet for tonight to join the child protection agencies into one. He said it was the best place to reintroduce ourselves back to the public."
She sat up, " Speaking of child protection, where's Rin?"
" At the park, on a date." Sesshomaru raised a brow, " I think she is too young to be dating."
Kagome laughed, looking to her lover, then rolled over and grabbed her phone to check the time, its was 6 o' clock. " What time is the party?"
" 9." he answered.
She turned back towards him, " I'll go get her and get us some dresses." she leaned over and kissed his lips, " We can meet you there."
Sesshomaru sat up, " Are you well enough to be out?"
She smiled at the subtle concern, " I'm fine hot stuff, don't worry." she said, rolling out of bed. " I'm a big girl."
He watched her stand in just her underwear, she stretched her arms over her head. He watched the muscles in her shoulders stretch and release, liking the way her back arched into a perfect curve. Wanting to taste her all over again, he stood, walking over to her, Kagome turned to the approaching demon and shook her head, his eyes betraying the intent of his thoughts, " No, not now. I need to go get a dress."
She looked around, then tried to dash to the other side of the room but he caught her by her arm, lifting her onto the dresser by her closet door, settling between her legs. She bit her lip to stop her arousal from rising, which wasn't working, " What about Rin?"
He slid his hands over her smooth skin, " We got time." he whispered before leaning in to taste her lips. His hands laced in hers. They shared a gentle heated kiss. Kagome sighed from the tender passion as he pulled away, her eyes still close. " Are you sure?"
He smirked, " Yes."
She smiled, " And the dresses?"
He leaned forward kissing her neck, " Will wait."
She arched, leaning into him, " You're so bossy."
He brushed his lips across his mark making her shiver. " I know."
She giggled, her head leaning back to give him more, " Sesshomaru I need to get dressed love."
He kissed his way lower, " And you will." He looked up, kissing her chin, " When I'm good and ready."
" Damn it." she whined, leaning into him, sending little flames to dance across her skin where his finger brushed, kissing his lips. Kagome didn't want to give into him so easily but she couldn't help it. Everything he did turned her on, just looking at him got her blood boiling and Sesshomaru soft lips just ignited the fire.
She opened to him, loving the aggression in him as he lifted her legs to his waist and off the dresser. Her arms went around his neck, holding him close, moaning into his kissing lips when he grabbed her behind.
Turning he walked over and laid her across the bed, she pulled him closer, kissing his soft lips again, loving his powerful taste. Her hands ran up his chiseled chest and over his shoulders and down his arms, suddenly she grabbed his hands and pulled up. Locking her legs around his waist, she rolled them over, pinning the arm she held over his head.
The sudden switch of positions made Sesshomaru blink, she was quick. Amber eyes glanced up, Kagome was looking at him with such a possessive intensity, it was almost tangible, " Mine."
The smirk came easy, that was a pure inu statement if he ever did hear one. She grinned, leaning in, kissing his lips, laying claim.
An hour later, after finally being allowed to leave, Kagome was sitting in a car in the parking lot of the park. Her blue eyes matched the smile on her face as she watched Rin being pushed on one of the swings by a young demon. The boy was maybe a few inches taller than her, with brown-auburn hair and expressive green eyes. He wore regular blue jeans and a green button shirt with a pair of Tim boots on his feet. Kagome raised a brow at the diamond stud that was in one ear and the Movado watch on his thin wrist. This boy came from money, she wondered for a moment who exactly he was, trying to remember what family he came with to the reception.
Opening the car door, she stepped out and just leaned against the vehicle, watching them for a moment more. They were talking as he pushed her slowly on the swing, laughing and looking at each with such puppy love eyes. It made her smile wider, it was all too cute, with a shake of her head she leaned over and honked the horn.
Two heads turned her way, she waved her hand for them to come over. The young demon grabbed the swing so Rin can get off and hand in hand they walked over to her. Rin was wearing her prettiest sundress for her date, with a smile she looked up to Kagome, " This is Shippo, my boyfriend."
Kagome bent so she was eye level with the fox demon, now close up she noticed his cheeks were dusted with freckles, it was too cute. " Hi Shippo. I'm Kagome. Weird, I know another Shippo that looks like you."
The young boy reached out his free hand, " Hi, Rin told me a lot about you. That's probably my eldest brother you know, we share the same name. Its tradition to name the first and last after the nine tail fox in the family."
She took it, " That makes sense, I heard about Shippo the nine tail. He kicked ass." He laughed, it was high pitched and too cute, it made Kagome smile, " Will your family be attending the banquet tonight?"
Shippo let go of Rin's hand and pulled an iPhone out his pocket, " Yeah, they keep calling me." he mumbled, slapping bangs out his face.
Kagome just smiled at the cuteness, " Great, Rin and I will see you there, do you need a ride anywhere?"
The fox shook his head, " No, Moko is still waiting for me." glancing over to the parked town car a few parking spots from her own. " He's like my bodyguard, slash babysitter slash homework enforcer."
Kagome laughed at the kid, he was too cute, " Okay then, we'll see you tonight."
He nodded, then turned to Rin and wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug. " I'll see you later love."
Rin just smiled, hugging him back, kissing his cheek, " Miss you already."
He smiled before turning and heading over to his parked vehicle. Kagome raised a brow at the affection, they made it look so easy, they knew they liked each other so they were together. Kagome blinked, then glanced down to her watch, it was 7:20, " Come on kid, we gotta get some dresses."
Rin just smiled, " I like playing dress up with you."
Kagome laughed, running her hand through the young girl's bangs, " Me too, now let's go, we're on the clock."
