Twenty-two
When Kagome woke up she shivered until she felt a cool hand against her skin, she turned to snuggle further into Naraku's hold. He chuckled as she rocked against him he didn't sleep long and his demon was perfectly sated and mostly harmless...so it didn't really matter. He knew Sesshomaru was back but he didn't come in the room. He supposed it was more freedom he would have sensed Kagome but then he'd had her first and alone fair is fair isn't it.
"I'd warn you against that Kagome."
She yawned.
"Naraku..." she blushed sighing.
"...I was so out of it..I've never been allowed out during the season...I didn't think I would lose it completely."
He laughed then resting his head on his raised fist.
"Well...it should get easier once this pasts." she squeezed her thighs together in annoyance, though it wasn't like she forgot what they did she moved to sit up.
She sighed grabbing for her kimono before absently kissing his cheek it was somewhat different from when she slept with Sesshomaru. It couldn't be said enough that demons were both separate and not it could almost be considered a sentient conscience they weren't ruled by it. It was funny though some would say demons didn't have one, and in a way some didn't. Some just thought differently than the humans they considered uptight.
When she first changed she used to be confused by the idea until Toran sat with her and gave her a simple idea. They were just kids getting ready to have dinner and she asked if she wanted steak, it wasn't that her demon wanted something else but it wasn't just 'I want this' but approval that a guard offered something acceptable. Toran swore that was her alpha nature at work but it didn't matter she was just glad she actualy helped. This was normal for her she couldn't imagine being kept away from most demons with only lessons for company most the time.
It was just another reason why Sesshomaru and Naraku were at ease with this they were used to demon ways and senses. Even without her being a mate they had one to remind them why they should take what they could get.
He let her go as she dressed really looking forward to just being with her once things were settled, she passed one of the doors just as it opened Sesshomaru came out. He felt the need to pull her against him though as she greeted him the same he leaned against the door way.
"Not jealous are you?"
"No I'll have my time with you I thought you might actually leave without speaking to me."
She smiled at him.
"Well that wouldn't be fair."
{Damn straight..}
She blinked her gaze narrowing a bit as she looked at him.
"What?"
"Your demon..."
He sighed.
"I know he's speaking out a bit more I thought you could hear him."
"Not till now just feelings.."
{No need to be alarmed...it's just the season, demons let go in this time, though we do not start for a little bit more it's enough for you to be like this.}
The deep voice had a haunting accent and echoed in her head a bit, Sesshomaru relaxed a bit his could speak a little clearer than he could. Who was he kidding he could barely use his emotions properly he couldn't even claim he was afraid to express them his mother insisted that it was best to not display them at all he had a use of his demon at least for that.
She rubbed the back of her head just thinking what would happen now when it was their turn to be like this.
{Don't fret...you'll be well taken care of mate.}
She blushed as she rubbed her hands together nervously knowing just what he meant.
…..
Before Naraku even left Kagome found her father, he smirked as she shifted to rearrange herself, he had noticed she left.
"Had to go be with your mates did you?"
"Yeah...I..how did you?"
He chuckled.
"You had the look in your eye before you slipped out."
"A look?"
"I was going to go for a walk and when you looked up there was a purple glow it was brief but I knew what it meant. Your demon thought to assure me they were nothing to worry about, it's been some time since we've had actual mates but your great-grandfather taught me about them he told me the first time he saw that look."
"When was that?" she asked.
"When my father met my mother, before then our family hadn't had one in generations while it seemed to have stopped entirely for most demons around us. It does put me at ease to know you'll be handled properly. Your mother said she was already planning for the wedding I was fine knowing at least that way I can take time from the battlefield to be there. Though I was concerned, now this is much more assuring."
She smiled then.
"So it's now?"
"Well when we get back, they were preparing after you left sight so we will follow you." It was difficult to travel with people but possible enough.
She nodded, she wasn't going to question him she knew her father the way he was he wouldn't leave here if he wasn't able. He grinned.
"Things really are calm right now, don't worry." he said knowing from her expression what could be on her mind. She nodded, she guessed she was as prepared as she was going to be she wondered what her mother had chosen for her to wear.
"Father...I heard Sesshomaru's beast...he said it wasn't time yet for the season but I seem to have entered it first...why?"
He chuckled.
"I thought that might happen with that other woman in the group."
"I don't need to be jealous of Kagura." she said frowning.
"It's not simple jealousy it is how a female cat claims her territory, I wasn't sure if you followed your mother's people or mine. Now I know many females through history even without a mate marked their place. Let the competition come...when demons couldn't be bothered to react it was a good sign to leave it at sex or cut all ties. Don't worry about that it's normal."
He patted her head as he would have when she was a kid.
She smiled a bit wider.
"If you say so."
"Now it is time to prepare, go get your mates we'll be traveling soon."
