The Change
While setting on the sofa watching Rin show him things, Kagome had fallen asleep with her head on his shoulder. After caring Kagome up to her room to rest he returned downstairs to talk to her mother. "My Lady I have noticed that Kagome is more tired than normal. Is there a reason for this and why does she need to be here?"
These are things he had been wondering and after much consideration he had decided it was time to find the answers. He did know about her transformation that was to come tomorrow. But he did not want anyone to know that he knew. Kagome herself it seemed to have forgotten that she had told him in the heat of their passion. He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard her mother start to speak.
Kagome's mother looking at him. A suddenly thought hit her that he didn't know what was going to happen to Kagome. If this was the case then why had Kagome brought him home with her. Perhaps it was because he is her mate. She invited him into the kitchen to have tea and so she could answer his questions. After getting their tea she began.
As she explained things he learned that Kagome was going to become a demon and why this was going to happen. It would happen at midnight that night. Her being tired was her body preparing itself for what was to come. Plus the fact that if Kagome was not here in her own time when this happened she would die. That she was going to become a panther demon.
At hearing what type of demon she was going to become he felt his heart sink a little, but he didn't let it show. He and panther demons had never gotten alone. They had a tendency of being stubborn and had a problem of listen to orders, doing what they wanted to do. As he thought of this it was suddenly clear to him that this was Kagome's personality already so perhaps it would not be so bad after all. Although she would listen. He hoped that after it was all over she wouldn't change the way she was.
Soon it was dinner time and Sesshomaru went to wake Kagome from her sleep. As he entered the room she lay on her bed sleeping he couldn't help but stand and watch her. Many times he had watched her as she slept. It was very calming to him to do it. He bent down and softy moved some hair that was laying across her face. Needing to wake her he smiled and leaned in gently placing his lips on hers and kissed her softy.
He knew she was awake when she started kissing him back. He slowly broke their kiss. "Hello Angel I hope you slept well." Kagome smiled back at him. " It is time for you to eat Angel." "But I'm so tired Fluffy can I just skip eating?" she ask him "No you may not. You are going to need all your strength. You mother has told me everything. Come." He held out his hand to help her up. She sat up on the side of the bed and sighed. " I guess what we fought about was for nothing. Seeing how I will soon not be human any longer."
" That is something that is in the past. I learned something I should have known all along. It was not a waist. Now come." He turned and left her room leaving her setting there looking at his back as he left. As soon as she stood up her head started hurting. When she went to get something for it there was nothing in the bathroom. So she went down to the kitchen.
"Mom where is the aspirin? My head hurts." Sesshomaru noticed how her mothers and grandfathers eyes meet as soon as Kagome had asked about the aspirin. "Kagome Dear I'm sorry to tell you this but aspirin isn't going to help your head. It will be gone soon I promise." Her mother said with a hint of concern in it. There was still more than 5 hours till it was time and the pain had started already. Normally it would not start until an hour before and only a discomfort not painful. She blamed that on their mating. Although she tried not to let it show. Sesshomaru could tell something was different and this had him concerned.
He knew there was something he could do to help with the pain but he didn't know if it would be allowed. He could see from looking into her eyes she was in more pain then she was letting anyone know. "Master Grandfather may I speak to you alone for a moment?" Grandfather was surprised in the fact he had asked him to talk. When the rest of the evening he had always talked to her mother. The fact he was asked made him happy. He nodded his head then raised from the table leaving the kitchen with Sesshomaru. When he was sure they was along he turned and spoke.
"Is it normally for ones head to hurt in these transformations?" He knew if it was not normal that there was something he could do to help with her pain. "No not this early. Normally there is nothing till about one hour before it starts and then it is only discomfort." He replied. " I see. There is something I can do to ease her pain but I would need some time alone with her." "May I ask what it is?" said grandfather. He wanted to know what could be done before answering him.
Sesshomaru didn't want to tell him everything but he would tell him some to help ease his worries. " It is called Flame. It is something that female demons go through when their mates have been gone for to long. It is from worry and feelings." Grandfather had read of such things in the old family scrolls so he understood what it was he meant. "I agree. I will explain to her mother." he said. Sesshomaru was surprised in the old man. The look in his eyes told him that he did understand and knew he was smarter than he had first thought he was.
After returning to the kitchen he stood beside the table." Rin , Shippo finish eating. Kagome come." He didn't wait for an answer he knew they would do as told and he could feel Kagome behind him. He lead her to their room. After shutting the door he turned. Before she could say anything he pinned her to the door. She could hear a low growl come from him and felt it in her body as it vibrated.
He started sniffing and nuzzled her neck and licking his mating mark. Kissing a small line of kiss's up to her ear he gently rubbed his fangs over it. When he started to pulled back she stopped him with a passionate kiss. He didn't fight it, he had wanted to do this all day. His hands caressed her body as it went down her body to her hips around her back and pulled her closer to him. He pushed her into the door deepening the kiss. He gently grinded his hips into hers. He heard a soft moan come from her. Braking their kiss he whispers in her ear. " Angle how is your head feeling now?" At hearing his question she realized her head had stopped hurting and was feeling much better.
"It feels allot better the pain is gone. Why is that?" He smirked without thinking he replied. " You missed my touch and you need to stop worrying so much. That is for me to do. Come we shall return downstairs." Kissing her one last time before opening the door they returned to the others. He knew he would need to keep a closer eye on her now. Making contact as much as possible.
"How is your head Dear?" her mother asked. Kagome blushed a little as she felt Sesshomaru's hand touch her back. " It's better mom the pain is gone." The children picked a movie and everyone set down to watch it. As Kagome was getting ready to sit down next to Sesshomaru , he grabbed her around the waist and sitting her on his lap smiling at her. He saw her blush again and wanted to laugh at it. Pulled her close her head on his shoulder, his arms around her waist they sat. Soon she was asleep once again. Rin and Shippo fell asleep watching the movie on the floor. They where carried up to Kagome's room to rest.
It was decided to let her sleep till it was time. So at 5 minutes till 12 Sesshomaru woke Kagome up. "Angel wake up. It is time." She had been nervous all day but now that it was time she was scared. Sesshomaru sensed this. He pulled her close into his arms not caring who saw them. Kagome could hear a soft growl coming from him and felt it vibrating in her body as he softy licked her Mating mark. This calmed her.
He whispered in her ear. " I'll be right here My Angel. I will not leave you. I Love You " This made her smile. She was happy that he was with her. She silently wished she could be the same breed of demon as him. So she could be a better matched mate for him. But she didn't think that was going to be the case. The thought of this made her heart ack. "I love you too Sesshomaru." He pulled something out of his pocket. " Kagome I got something for you today. If you don't like it I can always have another made." He opened the box, lifting her hand and placed the ring on her finger.
Kagome froze, she couldn't speak. Her breath caught as she looked at the ring. She started crying. Sesshomaru was confused as to why she was crying. "Do not cry. I can get a different one for you." She could see he was concerned with a little hurt. " No you don't understand. I love it thank you." She said as she grabbed him around the neck. "I wished I could be a dog demon like you." she whispered.
Before anything else could be said he kissed her. Just as he kissed her he felt her start to pulse. He broke his kiss and stepped back. As everyone watched Kagome's body started to glow white then blue. The light was bright and intense sending waves of light off of her body. The lights started calming down. They could see her new form as a panther. They heard her say. "A panther, I was hoping and wishing for..." Her voice trailed off they heard her gasp and saw her head snap up.
She began to pulse again the light was a light purple and a soft pink again it sent waves of light off of her body. When the light calmed down. Kagome started falling to the floor. She was caught by Sesshomaru before she hit. As they looked at her, her form had changed once again. Everyone gasp at what they was seeing. For reasons unknown Kagome had taken the form of a dog demon as she wanted. Kagome awoke to being held by Sesshomaru smiling down at her.
"Rest My Beautiful Angel" He said as he gently stroked her hair. She closed her eyes and let sleep take her over. As she slept he refused to leave her side. He wanted to be the first one she saw when she opened her eyes. No one could understand how she was a dog demon when she was support of been a panther. Sesshomaru had the feeling that Kagome was the answer for this. Kikyo had told him about the Jewel Shard that was in Kagome's heart and made him promise not to tell her.
As Kagome slept in his arms he explained to her family what Kikyo had told him about what she had seen. How Kagome had a Jewel Shard in her heart. That is when he informed them due to the fact of their mating Kagome would have the same life span as he. The fact that he was immortal. That he believed the reason she had taken this form of a dog demon instead of the panther was because she wanted it so much and wished it with all her heart.
That the Jewel Shard within her heart had heard her wish and granted it for her. Meaning The Jewel would never be whole again unless Kagome was to die. When he said this Kagome's mother gasp and had a look of worry on her face. He reassured her not to worry he would never let her come to harm. He would die to stop that from happening to her. Knowing how her family knew very little about real demons, only what they had read in books he then explain to them.
That Demons, Dog Demon more than any other are very protective and possessive over there mates. Not really letting them out of there sight for long. Plus when she was she would always have her very own guards to protect her.The fact he had a sword that brought the dead back to life. Since he was immortal so was she. Saying this eased her family fears. He knew that if her family was uneasy and worried about her that it would upset Kagome and that was something he did not want her to be.
One by one each family member went to sleep for the night. But he stayed awake holding Kagome safe in his lap through out the night, waiting for her to wake from her sleep. As he set holding her he examined her new marking on her wrist and face. Her hair had changed to a white silver as his was. As he touched her hair it as soft as his boa. He was in awe of how beautiful she had become.
Lifting some of her hair to his face he inhaled her scent. It smelt just as it always had so intoxication. She looked so peaceful her skin flawless. As beautiful as he had always thought she was to him she was even more so now. On her for head a shooting star the color of a deep crimson red like her markings. The star centered inside the crescent moon the sign of his house. Proving she was The Lady Of The Western Lands.
Standing up he laid Kagome on the sofa. He heard a small whimper from her from the lose of the contact. This brought a smile to his face. " Sleep Angel. I am here" He whispered in her ear softy. He went to check on their children leaving the door open to the room as he entered. Silently he walked over to the bed and pulled the blanket over them and watched them sleep before returning to Kagome's side.
After returning to the living room where she slept he raised her head and sat laying her head on his lap. Allowing her to lay the length of the sofa for a more relaxed sleep. His tail wrapped around her body his hand on her chest. He closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep. A few hours later he woke to the feeling of Kagome moving as she was waking up.
As he watch her wake he couldn't help but smile when she opened her eyes looking him in the eyes. "Morning Angel. How are you feeling?" He asked as he was pulling her into his lap. "Morning Fluffy. I feel good." He leaned close to her to kiss her good morning just before their lips meet he whispered "You look beautiful My Angel." Their lips meet soft and gently. She felt his hand move up her side over her chest to her neck. His fingers in her hair he lightly pulled. Feeling it she softy gasp opening her mouth.
His tong lightly traced her lips before entering her mouth and taking in the taste of her. He softy moaned when their tongs caressed each other. She deepened the kiss moving her lower body as to be able to straddle his lap. He pulled her closer into his chest their kiss became more feverish and demanding. He could smell her arousal. Braking their kiss he nuzzled his nose into her neck where their mating mark laid.
Softy giving her butterfly kiss's as he went up her neck to her ear. " My Beautiful Angel." He whispered as he started softy rubbing his fangs over her ear. He heard her let out a softy moan of pleasure at what he was doing. She felt him raise his hips. She could feel the hardness of his member as she pushed against him. She couldn't believe the sensations that was go through her body. She could smell his arousal and his passion. The smell of him was madding to her. She felt his fangs rub over her neck and it made her shiver. Only making her want him more.
He lightly traced her ear with his fangs before caressing it with his lips. He heard her moan as he teased her ear with his tong and fangs softy licking it . " Now you know how you was affecting me at the spring Angel." He whispered as he continued he assault on her body. After kissing her then braking it. "Angel I'm afraid our fun is over for awhile. You mother is coming down the stairs and I do not think this is something you wish her to see. We will finish this later I promise." He said with a light tent of disappointment in his voice.
He heard her low growl of disappointment and had to smile to it. He knew she wanted him as much as he wanted her. This made his chest swell with pride to know she loved him so much. As soon as she had moved her body to set on his lab. Her mother stepped into the room.
