Chapter 10: The ending
"Thank you." Kagome told the delivery boy, taking the purple Dedrobium Orchids and closing the door. She sniffed them and sighed warmly. It had been six months since she had returned to Sesshomaru and Naraku had yet to give up, always sending her flowers, candy, anything. She was flattered, and had to admit that she missed him. But nothing was better then sitting with her Sesshomaru. She sat them in a vase with water, returning to her mate who sat upstairs in their bedroom with the children.
"Who was at the door?" Sesshomaru questioned, sniffing his mate lightly. "More flowers from Naraku?"
"Yeah." She confessed, knowing he'd be upset with her if she lied. "I put them in the downstairs hall, in that creme vase."
Sesshomaru frowned, tickling his youngest daughter, Ai. She always kept the flowers from Naraku. Turning to her, he asked, "Do you like flowers?"
Kagome nodded happily. "They're so beautiful and fragrant. Why?"
He smiled softly. "No reason, dear." Kissing her forehead, he climbed out of bed. "I am leaving for the office now."
"Oh." Kagome sighed, having hoped to spend more time with her mate. "Alright."
"Do not sound disappointed. I will be back this evening, and you will be happy to see what I have for you." Kissing her one last time, he added, "Until then, love?"
Kagome nodded curtly, smiling at him. "Until then, love."
"Bye dad!" Yasahiro waved.
"Bye, papa!" The twins called out, imitating their elder brother.
"Bye for now." He ruffled Yasahiro's hair, kissed his girls, and left for the office."
SsSsSsSs
Sesshomaru looked up when he heard his intercom beep. He pushed the red button, asking, "Yes, Sara?"
Sara looked at the woman before her, then said, "Sir, a woman who says she is your wife is here."
Sesshomaru's lips twitched into a smile. "Send her in."
"You may enter." Sara waved her hand towards the door, watching with envy as the woman entered, her long, black hair swishing behind her.
"Ka-" Sesshomaru began, only the woman who had entered wasn't his wife. His eyes narrowed. "Kagura, what the hell are you doing here?"
Kagura grinned, closing the door. "I came to see you, silly."
Sesshomaru growled. "Woman, leave. And do not claim to be Kagome again." He glared at Kagura in disgust.
She had tried to look as much like Kagome as possible. Contacts, a new hair style. But she could never look anything like his Kagome. No one even amounted. And her scent was disgusting, especially compared to Kagome's. "What, Sess? You don't like the hairstyle? This look is already taken by someone, but I thought I could do it better."
"..." He blinked, and unable to contain himself, burst with laughter. "You truly are insane, wench." After composing himself, he shook his head and sighed inaudibly.
"See. I can make you laugh. When was the last time Kuh-go-may did that?"
"An hour ago." He stated blandly, mentally shuddering at the disgutsing and disrespectful way Kagura had said his mate's name. "Leave."
"I can't." SHe whined pitifully. "I won't. Not unless you're leaving with me." Shaking her head, she caused drops of her hair chemicals to splater around the room.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. "Woman, surely your hair is highly flammable. Shove your head in an oven and burn. I care nothing about you. You disgust me."
Kagura bit back tears. -Plan b.- Clutching her stomach, she said, "But I'm pregnant."
Sesshomaru shook his head. "Wench, you are not pregnant. It has been over six months since we last rutted. And you do not carry my scent." He stood and grabbed her roughly by the arm. Dragging her to the door, he said, "I will be sure to tell my mate you enjoy impersonating her." He threw her out and closed the door.
Collecting herself, Kagura brushed off her clothes and walked out, her head held high despite the laughs and whispers around her. "You want flammable, Sess. I will give you flammable."
SsSsSsSs
Kagome groaned when the doorbell rang. She had just put her babies down for a nap and would be damned if she allowed anyone to awaken them. She opened the door, shocked to see who it was. "Naraku."
"Kagome." he smiled at her, holding out a dozen red Dedrobium Orchids. "The flowers I have been sending and the candy, they are your favorite, correct?"
She nodded stiffly. "Correct."
Naraku brushed his hands over hers when he handed over his gift. "May I come in?"
"Um, sure." She stepped aside, showing him to the living room. She sat on the black loveseat near the wall, glancing at Naraku when he sat beside her. "Thank you. For all the flowers, I mean."
"You're welcome." He grabbed her hand. "Kagome, I have missed you. Why would you return to that scum when he treats you so badly?"
"He's changed."
Naraku scoffed. "he has not. You can not teach an old dog new tricks, dear."
"Seshomaru's different. He has actually changed." Kagome said wholeheartedly. Her mate had changed. He loved her now. And he showed it. He even played with his children. They were a family.
"You think so. But when you least expect it, he will return to normal. Return to me. Are you forgetting the fun we had? The things we did?" He asked, stroking her neck, careful not to touch her mating mark which would her Sesshomaru slaughtering him in a matter of seconds, maybe less.
"No. But I love being with Sesshomaru. I won't leave him for anything. I'm sorry Naraku. You should go." She led him to the door. "I'm sorry again."
He shook his head a smiled. "Do not think that I will be defeated so easily. Good day." He left. -Kagura does not take rejection well. She will find a way to crush Sesshomaru Taisho."
(((((Hours later/ Kag's POV))))))
I nearly squeal with happiness when I hear Sesshomaru come through the door, his aroma and aura immediately filling our home, stating his status as the alpha male. In less than a second, I'm rushing to him, finding him carrying loads of flowers. "Sess, what's this?"
"You like flowers, do you not? These are for you."
"Oh, Sesshy, why so many?" I ask, kissing him. "And they're small, and in pots. Why?"
He grins at me, setting my gifts down. "I have hired a gardener. He will plant these and more. Then you will have your private gardens in our backyard."
"Really?!" I ask, over joyed. "I've never had one before. Well, nothing extravagant, just my mother's old one! Oh, Sess, thank you!" I lock our lips again, only parting when I feel and smell him grow aroused. "Uh uh, Sess. You must wait." I tease, leading him up to Yasahiro's room where our son is reading to his younger siblings. "Isn't it sweet?" I ask Sesshomaru.
"Very." He leans over me to look through the cracked door, his need pressing hard against my back.
"We really should do something about that." I say, turning and grabbing him.
He groans, grabbing my hands. "Do not do such things to me, woman." He purrs, taking me to our bedroom, closing the door, and tossing me onto the bed. "Today has been stressful. I expect you to relieve my stress. And in return, I yours." He mumbles sexily into my ear, licking it as he grinds against me.
I shake my head vigorously. "The kids might hear." I dig my claws into his back when he begins to knead my womanhood with his knee. "Oh." I moan, tossing my head back.
"Is that a sign of submission, my fiesty mate? You will comply?" He presses his lips to my neck. "That is surrrrrrely unexpected of you, my darrrrrrling Kagome." He rolld his r's.
"Kami, why do you tempt me so?" I purr, capturing my Sesshy's lips. When we brake apart, I nod, "Do whatever you want to me. The kids will have no idea what's going on."
"Exactly." He begins to unbutton my shirt when a odor hits our keen noses.
"Smoke." We pant at the same time, jumping up and looking around. As suspected, there is smoke coming from downstairs.
"Were you cooking before?" He asks as we rush downstairs to see the flames dancing around the kitchen. "Or was the chef?"
"No." I whimper, shielding my face from the heat and putrid smoke.
Sesshomaru looks around. "Get the kids and get out of the house. I will handle the fire. Get as far away from the house as possible. Go anywhere. I'll find you."
I shake my head. "I won't leave you."
"For the children's sake. I will be there soon, Kagome. I will." Kissing me, he thrusts me from the room and closes the kitchen door.
I do as told, running and grabbing the kids who are cring with confusion. "Shh. Everything will be fine. Come on." Climbing off the balcony with my offspring in my arms, I jump down and carry them to the car. After placing them in, I get in.
"Momma! Where's dad?!" Yasahiro asks frantically.
"He'll meet us at grandpa's. He told me to get you safe." I drive off, biting back a cry and refusing to look back when I head an explosion. -Sess is safe. Sess is safe. Sess is safe. Sess is safe.- The second I get to Inutaisho's, I bang on the door. "Inutai! Inutai!"
He opens the door, his button down shirt torn open. "Kagome. Kami, what is it, love? I was in the middle of something."
"Inutaisho, there was a fire. And Sess made me take the kids. And there was an explosion. And I'm scared." I hug him, burying my face in his chest.
"Oh my."
((((((Elsewhere/Normal POV)))))
Kagura laughed maliciously as she combed her now shoulder length hair. - That was simple. Cut my hair. Stuck it into their oven when they didn't notice. Kagome ought to be dead by now, and those stupid pups of hers. Thank you Kami.
SsSsSsSs
Sesshomaru lay unconcious outside his home for hours. When he finally came to, he rose and sniffed. "Where am I?" He groaned and grabbed his head, looking around, picking up a small, nearly burned photo from the ground. He studied the woman in the picture near himself. Turning it over, he read, "Kah-go-me and Sess-sho-maru's wedding. I suppose I am this Sesshomaru man. So where is my wife, Kagome?"
((((((Years later)))))
Kagome sighed sadly as she finished typing. This was her life story. Or atleast, he life with Sesshomaru. She wanted people to know him. She hadn't seen her mate in seven years. No one had. He had gone missing. He wasn't dead, she knew. Her mark told her that. But he wasn't at her side. He hadn't returned to her like he said he would. If he was alive, why?
After a year of not finding him or his body, Kagome had moved to a beach house she and Sesshomaru had bought when they first married, though they had never stayed in it. And for that, she was glad. She didn't want to cry because of memories.
"Mom." The eleven year old Yasahiro entered his mother's room, his seven year old sisters following close behind.
"Yes." She answered, not facing him to hide her tears.
"You said you'd take us to the beach." Ai and her twin, Aiyo, said simultaneously.
She nodded, wiping away her tears. "I did, didn't I? Let's go." After they had all changed into bathing suits, she allowed her younger children to lead the way to the nearby beach as she walked beside Yasahiro. "So how's school, Yasa."
He smiled at her. "It's fun. And I'm learning alot."
"Pfft. You truly are Sesshomaru's son. I hate school."
"Hey, mom."
"Yeah?"
He hugged her. "Don't be sad. Dad is coming back. I know it."
Kagome ruffled his hair. "Of course." She answered, despite how skeptical she truly was. "Go play in the water, but stay close." She laid on a blanket on the sand, her eyes closed.
SsSsSsSs
A man trudged along the beach. He stopped in his tracks when he saw three kids splashing in the water. A part of him wanted to go join them. They looked familiar. But he ignored it, is gaze moving to the woman on the beach, seemingly their mother.
My, was she a vision. Long ebony hair framed around her form. A black bikini holding onto her body for dear life. Her eyes were closed. Oh, how he wanted to see them. As if on cue, the woman's eyes opened and all memories returned to him when their eyes met. He walked towards her, his steps quickening each time until he was sprinting towards her, scooping her into his arms. "My mate." he said happily, holding her flesh against him.
"My mate." She whispered back, hugging him and tangling her hands in his long, silver mane.
"I apologize for leaving you for such a long time." he smiled down at the kids who had been playing in the window as they hugged him and this woman. He was back with his children...and his mate. "I apologize for the lengthy wait."
"Love, for you...I will wait forever."
