AN: Thank you everyone for the reviews. They are the reason I find time to write when I should be studying. Also, I made the cover image for this story all by myself. It's my first fanart! Hope you all like this chapter. Please review! Let me know what you think.
The atmosphere was tense with a great sadness in the air. The time had come for Sesshomaru's family to say their goodbyes to Kenichi and Kagome. They had spent most of the day together, it was getting late, and everyone was back at Toga and Izayoi's before going their separate ways. In the early morning, Sesshomaru would drive his girlfriend and their son to the airport.
"Alright kid," Inuyasha was the first, scooping his nephew up and give him a hug. "You take care of your mom, okay?"
"I will," Kenichi said, hugging his uncle before being placed back down on the ground.
Inuyasha then stepped towards Kagome who wrapped him in a hug.
"Inuyasha," she squeezed him, "I'm so glad we're friends again."
Inuyasha smiled and hugged her back. "Me too, Kagome."
Stepping forward next was Toga who bent forward to pick up his grandson. "I will miss you, little one."
"I'll miss you too, Grandpa." Kenichi wrapped his arms around Toga's neck, pulling away as he was handed to his grandmother who would steal a few extra moments from him while his grandfather bid his mom farewell.
"Kagome," Toga smiled as he embraced her. "It was good to have you back. Do not be a stranger."
"Thanks." Kagome hugged him back as she thought back fondly on all her old memories with the Takahashis. "I won't," she promised. Then she turned to face Izayoi, who clutched Kenichi to her chest. "Izayoi," she started, not wanting to interrupt but knowing she needed to.
"I know." The older woman gave a sad smile as she opened her watered eyes. She reached an arm out to give Kagome half of a hug while still holding Kenichi. "You take care, dear. I'm always just a phone call away."
"Thank you," Kagome leaned into the woman and then stepped back to give her a bit more time with Kenichi.
"Kenichi," Izayoi said lovingly, "be good for your mother."
"I will," he said, feeling sad as he watched a few tears fall from Izayoi's eyes.
"I love you so much," she told him. "I will miss you terribly." She bit her lip and held him tight.
Kenichi returned the hug, snuggling his face against her neck. "I love you too."
Izayoi sniffled before nodding and gently placing the child back on the ground. She gave his hand one last squeeze before he walked over to his father.
"Izayoi," Kagome pouted and quickly moved to embrace the crying woman. "You're gonna make me cry!"
"Forgive me," she tried to get her composure back as she stepped back. She reached out for Kagome's hand and gentle smile graced her features. "You both mean a great deal to me."
"I know," Kagome placed her free hand on top of Izayoi's. They held eye contact for a couple seconds before moving away from each other.
No more words were exchanged between the groups. Sesshomaru gave a curt nod in his family's direction before he turned to lead Kagome and Kenichi out the front door and into his car.
Kenichi was climbing into bed as his mother put his clothes back into their travel bags. Sesshomaru would be the one to tuck the child in so Kagome gave him a hug and kiss before she left the room.
"Mommy," Kenichi addressed her with an inquisitive tone.
"Hm?" she responded while tugging on his shirt. It seemed like he was going through another growth spurt.
"Do we have to go home?"
"Yes, sweetie," Kagome frowned sympathetically. She wasn't looking forward to it either.
"We can't stay here?"
"No."
"Why not?" he asked with wide eyes.
She took a second to give him a good reason, feeling astonished when she couldn't actually think of one. "Well," she started without much confidence, "because we have to go back."
He wasn't satisfied with her explanation. "Why?"
"Because it's our home."
"I want to stay here," Kenichi crossed his arms and pouted.
"What about Sango?" Kagome wanted to cheer him up. "Don't you miss her?"
"I miss Sango." Kenichi looked away, his face turning red. "I don't wanna miss daddy." His gold eyes filled with tears as his heart began to ache.
Kagome reached forward and grabbed him, pulling her into her lap. "I know baby," she kissed his forehead and rocked him back and forth, trying to calm him down. "I know."
Kagome continued her actions until knocking caught her attention. Sesshomaru stood in the doorway with a concerned expression. Her eyes widened as Kenichi ripped himself out of her arms and jumped onto the floor.
"Daddy!" he ran up to his father who immediately picked him up and brought him back to the bed.
Sesshomaru sat down with a frown as his child clung to him like a monkey. He leaned his back against the headboard, deciding he would let the kid cry it out and calm down before doing anything else.
Kagome's bangs covered her eyes as she got up and left the room. She stopped at the door to tell her son goodnight, but she knew he wasn't listening.
She dragged her feet from the hallway to Sesshomaru's large bed. Slowly, she got in, pulling the covers over her head to block out the light. Then she wrapped her arms around her chest, moving to the fetal position. A pained expression crossed her face as she thought, 'This is all my fault.'
She did not know how much time passed before the covers were pulled back.
His gold eyes stared into hers. She averted her eyes, feeling guilty.
"Kagome."
"Am I a bad mom?" she asked, still looking away.
"You are an excellent mother," he sat down next to her, placing his hand on her shoulder. "Kenichi is too young to understand the complications of our living situations."
"Yeah, you're right," she sighed, "but that still doesn't make me feel any better."
"It's been a long day," he reminded her.
"It has," she sat up, trying not to be so miserable and selfish. Watching Sesshomaru get up to move to his side of the bed, she wondered how he was taking everything. "How are you doing?"
"I am fine," he told her, practically scoffing as he sat close beside her.
"You're such a tough guy," she said cheekily while lightly punching his arm. "It's okay to have feelings."
"Hn." Her antics caused him to smile. "I can think of better things to do than mope."
"Like what?"
He answered by placing his hands on the back of her neck behind her ears and pulling her face to his for a passionate kiss.
She hadn't been expecting that! Her eyes and mouth flew open in surprise. Sesshomaru used that opportunity to sneak his tongue into her mouth. She easily caved and closed her eyes, kissing him back as her hands made their way to his shoulders.
After a steamy make out session with lots of touching, they finally broke apart, breathing heavily.
Kagome looked at him, her gaze full of lust. "You're a good kisser."
Sesshomaru smirked as he traced his finger along the rim of her pants. "Let me kiss something else."
She drew a sharp breath at his boldness. 'He wants to…' She closed her eyes as she felt the heat pooling between her legs. "Okay," she told him, trying not to be timid.
He grinned as he got into a supine position on the bed, quickly shrugging his clothes off as Kagome gracefully slid out of her pants. She looked over at him, wondering why he wasn't sitting up at the bottom of the bed and waiting for her to lie down.
"Come here," he said. She sat next to him and gave a surprised squeal as he easily lifted her up by her hips and placed her right above his abs with her legs on his right side. He expected her to figure out what to do from there and it took a few seconds for her to realize it.
Her eyebrows rose and she blushed. "You want to do it like that?" she didn't sound very confident as she unconsciously pressed her legs together.
"You don't like it?"
"I," she stuttered, feeling a bit self conscious. "I've never tried it. I wouldn't know what to do." She turned her head to hide her face. She felt so inexperienced.
"Hn," he found satisfaction in the fact that he would be the first person to do this with her. "Come here," he said as he grabbed her right leg to pull it on his left side, making her straddle his lower chest. Then he placed his hands on her buttocks and pulled her body up until she was hovering over his neck with her knees on either side of his head.
Kagome tried to push her anxiety aside as she gripped the top of the headboard for balance. After receiving a squeeze on her rear, she lowered herself onto his mouth. Within seconds she gasped at the sensation. Her eyes rolled back before closing and she bit her bottom lip, trying to control the moans.
Sesshomaru was going to town on her pussy. His occasional grunts as he ate her out only turned the woman on even more. His chest filled with pride when he felt her put more of her weight on his face. She liked it and she wanted more. He continued his ministrations and eventually, Kagome started to rock her hips.
"Fuck," Kagome yelled out, "Yes!" It felt amazing! She rode his face as his hands held her hips. Sesshomaru pushed his head off the pillow, shoving his tongue deeper inside of her, making her moan. He slid one hand up her tank top to play with a breast while his left arm wrapped around her waist, holding her close. She became even more vocal as her orgasm approached. Sesshomaru noticed and he moved to alternate between sucking on her clit and flicking it with his tongue. The hand on her boob made its way around to slide behind her where he entered her wet pussy with two fingers. He became more aggressive with his actions and was rewarded when hand was drenched with her fluids. He pulled his fingers out and grasped her hips as she trembled. Sesshomaru supported most of her weight with his arm strength when Kagome lost the ability to hold herself up. Her body had become too heavy for her in the aftershocks of her climax. He scooted down a bit so he could suck the remaining juices that had been dripping from her cavern. He gave her one last lick before adjusting her body so that she could rest between his pecs.
Mouth slightly open and breathing hard, Kagome looked down on Sesshomaru with half lidded eyes. His face was shining, from his nose to his chin, with her essence. He wore a grin before taking the hand that had been inside of her and putting it in his mouth, licking each finger dry while maintaining eye contact.
Then, the same hand reached forward to grab hers, pulling her upper body towards him.
Kagome adjusted herself, getting back on her knees to hover over him as her face got closer to his. Their lips made contact when his other hand grasped her hair behind her head and pushed her lips onto his.
Then they exchanged sloppy kisses until they needed to breathe; Sesshomaru pulled her head back as the gasped for air.
"That was," Kagome paused, trying to find the right word, but none came to mind. "Wow." She sealed his lips with hers as they shared a few more kisses. "I loved it," she whispered as she placed a few pecks along his jaw line to his neck.
"I know you did," he gloated.
She responded by lightly nipping on his neck, making him squeeze his eyes shut from the pleasure.
"Ride me," he said, raising his hips up and causing his swollen member to poke her.
Kagome grinned, feeling sexy and confident. "Okay," she agreed, steadying herself by placing her hands on his chest.
He leaned his upper torso upwards on his forearms so he could see. His penis was fully erect, standing straight up, precum glistening at the top. His lips parted and his eyes narrowed as he watched her small hand wrap around the base and angle him towards her entrance. Sesshomaru inhaled sharply as his skin touched hers. Teasingly slow, her nether lips began to spread as she lowed herself onto him. Once the head was in, he hissed with pleasure.
Kagome took her time lowering herself onto him. His shaft was on the larger side of the spectrum, even though she was wet, she still had to go slow at first.
Sesshomaru groaned when he saw his cock disappear. He sat up a bit more, moving them upwards on the bed so he could lean against the headboard with his eyes right in front of her perky tits. He lifted her shirt up and over her head, catching a nipple in his mouth and sucking on it, making Kagome arch her back.
Slowly Kagome began to bring her hips back and forth. The clitoral stimulation from this position couldn't get any better and she quickly found herself moving faster and faster.
It didn't take more than a few minutes for her to reach her peak. She yelled his name out as she was overcome with pleasure.
Sesshomaru grinned as he watched her body become still, her thighs were trembling, and her eyes were squeezed shut. He grabbed her hips and pulled them both down so that he was lying straight on his back and she was leaning over him. Then he lifted her hips until just the tip of his member was still inside.
He waited for her to come back from her orgasm. Once her eyes opened and made contact with his, he began to thrust his hips upwards.
Kagome did nothing more than brace herself from the marvelous impact as he fucked her. She arched her back, shoving her breasts in his face as he hammered himself into her.
He was going so fast and so hard. Kagome could feel another orgasm approaching. "Keep going!" she pleaded, ready to beg if he wanted her to!
He grinned, knowing that she was close and pushed himself to go faster and harder. Her eyes opened wide as another wave of ecstasy came crashing onto her. She cried out and dug her fingers into his shoulders, nearly drawing blood as she came. Sesshomaru grunted as her inner walls clenched around his member. She was so hot, wet, and tight. He loved her pussy.
After letting her catch her breath, he slid back against the headboard. He was sitting straight up so that they were face to face. His intense gold gaze was enough to make the woman melt. He placed one hand on the back of her neck and the other on her hip.
The couple shared a kiss before touching foreheads. Then Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck as she began to shift back and forth on his member. Their bodies were completely molded against each other's as she rode him.
They kissed passionately one last time before breaking their holds on one another. Kagome began to rock herself harder and she moved her hands to slide down onto his chest. Sesshomaru's hands held her hips as he helped her.
She tilted her head back as he pulled her along on his hard cock. "Sesshomaru," she moaned out slowly.
"Ride me," he demanded harshly, as she slowed down. He bucked his hips to get his point across.
Kagome gladly obeyed as she moved her body on him. He slid his thumb across her nub which caused her to move even more. He rubbed circles on her clit, watching her face, he lead her closer and closer to release. Then he moved his hand back.
"Ah," she cried out. How dare he get her so close to the edge and then stop?
Kagome increased her actions to make up for the loss of his touch. Her fevered tempo was pushing Sesshomaru to the edge.
"Kagome," he ground out her name before breathlessly admitting, "I'm gonna cum." He was so close; she just needed to keep doing exactly as she was.
"Yes," she encouraged, feeling empowered, knowing that she could bring this sexy man to his release. She moved her hips even faster, wanting to give him pleasure.
His hands gripped her hips tightly as he rocked her furiously against him. She didn't even try to help; his strength overpowering her, she'd only slow him down, and it was too good to stop for either of them. He threw his head back, hitting the hard wood, and making a loud noise. It didn't faze either of them as he held her still and spurted inside of her. His cock was throbbing from the intensity. The pure sex appeal from the man inside of her as well of the feeling of his pulsating dick was enough to drive Kagome over the edge one more time.
"Sesshomaru," she moaned while her nails dug into the skin on his chest. She leaned forward and they rested their foreheads against each other. Both were panting.
They switched from locking eyes and Sesshomaru kissing her intensely for the next few minutes as Kagome came down from her high.
"You're like," she struggled to keep her voice from shaking, "a sex god." He had the perfect body, he had the perfect penis, he made the perfect noises, was a perfect kisser. Seriously, she couldn't ask for more.
The compliment caused him to smirk before he kissed her and sucked on her bottom lip. "Then you," he said as he let her lip go, "are my goddess."
Kagome woke up to an empty bed as her phone's alarm went off.
'Where is he?' she wondered. The sun had yet to rise so she wasn't sure if, or when, he would have woken up on his own. They had been up late last night.
Smiling, she bit her bottom lip while thinking of their activities.
She found her clothes near the bed and pulled them on, still tired from the lack of sleep. Then she left the room and headed downstairs towards the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. She was sure that Sesshomaru would be down there already drinking his own. It was early. So she was surprised to find all the lights off and the kitchen empty.
Kagome scrunched her eyebrows as she moved towards the coffee pot to get the delicious drink to brew. She went back upstairs, and noticed that the door to the guestroom was closed. They usually left the doors open so Kenichi would feel more at ease. She slowly twisted the handle and opened the door. Her heart nearly melted as the hallway light shone on the bed.
Sesshomaru was holding Kenichi as they slept.
Kagome took a few steps closer towards the sleeping pair. Kenichi was a miniature version of Sesshomaru, and they were so cute together. It was utterly adorable! She felt like she was doing wrong by waking one of them up. Unfortunately, she had to. So she slowly walked towards the side of the bed that Sesshomaru was laying on and gently squeezed his shoulder.
He slowly turned his head and cracked one amber orb open, looking at her.
"We have to get up now," she whispered sadly. "Will you help me with Kenichi?" She had asked to give him the opportunity instead of her. It might make both guys feel a bit better.
Sesshomaru nodded and leaned up on his elbow, stirring their son from sleep as Kagome walked over to the suitcases. She opened Kenichi's and put his clothes for the day on top to make things easier for Sesshomaru. Then she took her bag and left the room, giving them some privacy as she prepared for the day in Sesshomaru's room.
Kagome tried to be quick. She took a fast shower, skipping her hair, threw some comfortable clothes on, and zipped up her large suitcase. The carry on held her makeup which she decided to forgo, except for the mascara and lip gloss, of course. It also contained her purse and small necessities. She took everything downstairs and placed it all next to Kenichi's suitcase that was left by the door.
She found the males in the kitchen. Kenichi was picking at his chocolate chip pancakes at the table. The sight made her frown.
"Kagome." Sesshomaru caught her attention. In one hand he held his own cup of coffee and in the other a bowl of cereal. He nodded his head towards the counter where the coffee machine was. Next to it, he had set a mug and the creamer for her.
"Thanks," she smiled. Then she poured her mourning drink and moved to join the two at the table.
"Are you hungry?" he asked, noticing that she only had her coffee.
Kagome shook her head. "Not really," she mumbled, eying her child who held the same sentiments.
The family struggled in silence as they left the home and drove to the airport. Each person looking more depressed the closer they got to where they would part ways.
The trio came to a stop.
Kagome turned to Sesshomaru with a grim look on her face. "This is us," she said, her voice held a sad tone.
Sesshomaru nodded solemnly while he bent down on one knee to be at eye level with his son. The child's eyes were red and full of tears threatening to spill out. "Behave for your mother."
Kenichi stuck his bottom lip out as he nodded frantically. He was trying to be strong like his dad and hold it together. The adult spread his arms out and Kenichi immediately threw himself into his father's embrace.
Sesshomaru held onto the child tightly as the small body was wrecked with sobs. He shushed the boy and held him tight. "Will you do me a favor?" he whispered into the child's ear.
"Uh huh," the boy answered between sniffles. The thought of doing something for his dad seemed to calm him considerably.
Sesshomaru turned his head to glance at Kagome. She was standing a few feet away; frowning with a faraway look in her eyes telling him that she wasn't paying too much attention to their conversation. She wanted to give them a bit of privacy. That and the sight of her child breaking down had her lost in thoughts of how much of a bad mother she was.
"Take care of your mom for me," Sesshomaru told him. "Can you do that?"
Kenichi's expression was full of resolve as he was filled with an important purpose. He would do anything his dad asked. "Okay." His face tightened as he gave his father a nod.
"Good." Sesshomaru gave a small smile. Proud of how much of a big boy his son was. "I'm going to say goodbye to her. When you two arrive back home I want you to make sure she calls me so I know you both are safe."
Kenichi listened intently to his father's instructions. "Mhm," he said, determined to make his father proud.
Sesshomaru gave the boy a curt nod before rising back up and turning to Kagome. She still was lost in thought and he had to put his hand on her arm to get her attention.
She looked surprised as she focused on him. Her eyes gave away her worries and Sesshomaru pulled her into a hug. Once secured in his arms she let the tears fall. Her hands sliding around behind his back.
"Stay strong for our son," he said quietly, not wanting the child to overhear.
Kagome dug her fingers into his back as she tried to get herself together. She took a few moments but eventually stepped back.
"You're alright?" he asked.
She nodded, holding the tears back. She needed to give a good example for her child. It would be hypocritical to discourage his crying and sadness if she acted like a child herself.
"Good," he said. He stepped forward and grabbed both sides of her face to pull her into a hard, possessive kiss.
Kagome gasped as she felt the shift in energy, her eyes closed and she wrapped her arms around his neck, opening her mouth for him.
They made out passionately. Sesshomaru was not usually one for public displays of affection but he would make this exception for her. Besides, he wanted this kiss just as much as he did. They were a couple now, and they won't be together for a few weeks.
A clearing of the throat reminded the two where they were and they parted for breath. Sesshomaru wore a smirk as he gazed down at the dazed and breathless woman before him. He waited for her to come back to Earth before speaking to her.
"Until next time."
Kagome closed her eyes. The smile slightly fading away. She sighed and nodded. "Until next time."
"I won't stop at just a kiss," he told her with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He took a few steps away from her.
Kagome moved to take Kenichi's hand. She smiled at Sesshomaru while a small blush tinted her cheeks. "I would hope so," she teased back.
"Hn," he watched them start to walk off. His arms crossed across his chest. He would stand there until he couldn't see them anymore. He didn't want to leave the airport until he saw their plane take off.
To his surprise Kenichi let go of his mom and dropped his bag to run back up to Sesshomaru.
"I love you dad!" the child exclaimed one last time as he hugged his father's legs.
Sesshomaru moved away to bend over and kiss the top of Kenichi's head. Then his forehead and then his nose. "I love you too."
Kenichi nodded with a small smile on his face. "Bye dad."
"Goodbye," Sesshomaru said solemnly.
Kenichi wasted no time in turning around and running towards a frazzled looking Kagome.
"Come on, mom," he said, while grabbing his tiny suitcase and leading the way. Though, he didn't know where he was going but whatever direction felt right.
"Okay, honey," Kagome said as she studied her strange child. She angled her head back to look at Sesshomaru and waved. She turned around after watching him nod. "Kenichi," she called out, "it's this way." She pointed towards the direction they were supposed to be headed.
The small boy hurried over and took her hand.
Sesshomaru stayed in his spot until his girlfriend and son were lost in the crowd. He then moved over to sit next to some windows. He could see their plane from his position and he would wait until it was out of his eyesight before he moved to leave.
Time passed, and a heavy weight fell on Sesshomaru's heart. A frown marred his face as he watched the plane move and fly into the sky. His chest became tight and he decided to sit in the chair for a few more minutes before leaving. The heavy feeling in his chest did not go away, it only seemed to worsen.
Sesshomaru shook his head, trying to clear any thoughts of weakness from it. He was going to stay strong. He was a man. He was Sesshomaru Takahashi. He would to cry in the airport. Not at all. Not even a single tear.
Sesshomaru pinched the bridge of his nose as he felt his eyes water.
