Friends reunited
Inuyasha who had been sleeping lightly while on guard setting by the door of the hut. Heard a loud roar, he stood quietly and left the hut. As he left the hut the scent and aura hit him. He knew right away what had happened and a large smile graced his face. Not wanting to wait till morning he went into the hut. Woke Kikyo up quietly as he could not to wake the others. "Kikyo wake up. Kikyo! I haft to tell you something!" Kikyo opened her eyes. As she was about to talk Inuyasha scoped her up in his arms and walked out of the hut. After setting her down Kikyo saw the smile on his face. "What is it Inuyasha?" "Kikyo it worked. Kagome and Sesshomaru are together now. They mated!" The smile on his face grew even wider and his eyes danced with excitement.
Kikyo smiled big learning that their plan had worked so well. Until she remembered the vision she had seen and the smile left her face. Seeing this worried Inuyasha. "What is it Kikyo?" Kikyo not knowing how much to tell Inuyasha tried to think of the best way to say it without telling him her secret. "Something is going to happen on her 18th Birthday and she will be forever changed. I pray their mating does not affect it in a bad way."
Inuyasha remembered what her mother had said and the fact she made him promise to have her there before her birthday. " Kikyo what is going to happen to Kagome? Her mother made me promise to make sure she was there in her time before her 18th birthday." He said concern clear in his voice. "Inuyasha I promised Kagome not to tell her secret. But I can say this, if she is not in her time with her mother before she turns 18 she will die. I don't know how I know, but I do know it is true." She saw as Inuyasha's eyes widened. "Well then we will have to make sure she is there. I'll talk to Sesshomaru when they come to camp later." He said Kikyo nodded and they headed back inside to sleep till morning.
Just before daybreak Sesshomaru awoke feeling a weight on his chest and he smiled. He hoped she would have no regrets about their mating. As he laid looking at her sleeping all the pain he had been feeling was gone, replace with peace. Even though she needed sleep he knew she would want to bath before going into the village. Since the sun had now come up it would be best to go now before others went to the spring. So holding her close he turned on his side laying her down.
Kagome woke to the feeling of Sesshomaru kissing up her neck. Stopping at her lips he kissed her softy. Her back being softy caressed with light finger tips. After she started to kiss him back he slowly broke their kiss. " Good Morning Angel. How do you feel?" He ask her with a smile on his face. "Tired and a little sore but a bath will help with that." She said as she tried to get up. When she pulled the sleeping bag back she was shocked to see she had no cloths on and quickly pulled it back over herself. Blushing madly a deep crimson red.
Sesshomaru smiled more wondering why she was still shy about him seeing her. He got up and got her cloths and dressed himself. After taking there baths They cleaned up camp and left for the village. He could tell she was getting nervous about seeing everyone. Before they got through the trees he stopped and turned to her. He cupped her cheek looking into her eyes. " Angel relax I know your nervous, no need to be. Everyone but Rin and Shippo knows your here. They can not wait to see you."
He bent down and kissed her softy as he pulled her close to him. They broke their kiss. " Thanks I needed that." She said as she looked at him and smiled. As they walked to the village they picked up wood for the morning fire. After reaching the village they found everyone still asleep. Setting the wood down Kagome stayed a few feet from the hut.
Sesshomaru stepped in the hut waking each person up, careful not to wake Rin or Shippo. As he woke each person he pointed outside and they each left the hut to greet Kagome. After greeting each of them and talking for awhile. Kagome's neck started to burn. Sesshomaru noticed her discomfort after watching her for a bit he knew what it was. He noticed she hadn't told anyone about their mating. He stood and walked to her holding out his hand. She stood , he lead her to the side of the hut. "Is your neck bothering you Angel?" He ask
"It's burning." She answered while showing it to him. He bent down and licked his mark with a smile on his face. As soon as his tong rubbed over it the burn was gone. After placing a few kiss's going up her neck he pulled back " I could start liking your way of stopping the burn " She announced to him and she grinned . He raised one eyebrow and grinned evilly. " I will show you burn the next time we repeat last night Angel." Kagome started giggling. "Oh My " He watched as she turned a deep crimson red that vanished under her cloths. He couldn't help but want to know how far it went down. But he was cut short when she grabbed him by the arm to walk back to the group.
Inuyasha , Miroku and Sesshomaru all went to get the morning meal. Leaving the women alone. As they sit talking Kikyo couldn't take it anymore. "Kagome did you enjoy your night?" Kikyo ask with a smile on her face. Kagome turned red all over her face and down her neck. She knew that Kikyo knew. Sango looked at them confused. "Looks like you got bit by something Kagome." Kikyo said as she started laughing out loud not being able to hold it back any longer. Kagome grabbed her neck and started giggling. "Yes I did. A vampire I think." As she joined in with Kikyo laughing. She pulled back her shirt enough to show Sango her neck. Sango was shocked with a big smile. "YES !" yelled Sango as she joined in with her friends giggling and lunged herself at Kagome hugging her half to death.
As the guys walked to the river there was a silence between them."Oh come on Sesshomaru say it already." Inuyasha announced knowing he wouldn't unless provoked into it. Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha and Miroku. " What would you have me say Little brother?" He ask calmly. Inuyasha grinned. "You, Kagome last night." Sesshomaru looked forward
" What my mate and I do is none of your concern Little Brother." He paused " But thank you both for all your, help with my mate." He looked over to see them both smiling ear to ear. He then rewarded them both with a small smile of his own.
After they had gotten enough for the meal they went back to the village. The women started cooking while Inuyasha went in to wake Rin and Shippo. Kagome knew what was coming so she sit back on her knees and readied herself for their impact. Inuyasha stepped out of the hut followed by the smaller forms looking at the ground rubbing their eyes.
As soon as they looked up they both screamed her name so loud it hurt everyone's ears. As they ran to Kagome the impact was so massive she was knocked on her back with Rin and Shippo on top of her with both of them trying to talk at the same time.
After calming them down and answering some of their questions while eating. Kagome knew without a dought she had been missed by everyone as much as she had missed them. After their meal Kagome and Sesshomaru decided it was time to talk to Rin and Shippo about their mating. Rin and Shippo was overjoyed about it. Rin and Shippo both knew that since they where now mates she would not be leaving them again. This made them both very happy.
The two groups spent the rest of the day having fun and talking. At dinner Inuyasha was starting to wonder when she was going to return to her mother's home. "Kagome when are you going back for your birthday?" Inuyasha ask. "Tomorrow." She answered. Just after dinner Jaken returned from what Sesshomaru had sent him to do. When Jaken saw Kagome he smiled. Jaken and Sesshomaru walked off to talk.
"Jaken did you get what you was sent for? He ask. "Yes My Lord it is hidden in UhUn's pack. Would you like me to get it for you My Lord?" Jaken replied. "No. You did well Jaken. Perhaps you would like to say Hello to my new mate?" Sesshomaru said with a smile on his face. "Yes My Lord thank you." Sesshomaru called to Kagome after she came over she looked at him. "Yes?"
"Someone wish's to speak to you." He looked down then back and walked away. Kagome bent down and looked at Jaken.. " Jaken it is good to see you again." She smiled. "You as well My Lady. If I may speak forward? I would like you to know That I have always liked you My Lady. I just never wished it to be seen. It pleases me to know you and My Lord have joined." Kagome was shocked. Never in a thousand years would she think to hear anything but rudeness coming from Jaken and yet here he was be kind and polite. "Thank you Jaken. That means allot to me." After a few more minutes of talking they walked back to the others together.
