Last Time: "Yes. It is ok if you have both of their ashes. It seemed they wanted to die together." she said.

"It did." he added and gathered up both of their ashes.


Sesshomaru could not stand it! Absolutely couldn't! He was the only one that was supposed to touch his mate, have her love, and most of all kiss her. It really did disgust him that the spider had kissed her and touched her. It smell was all over her and it really bothered him and his canine senses. The beast within him was very unconent with the way things had went that afternoon even though the spider was now gone, it wanted to bring him back just to kill him all over again for kissing her.

He wouldn't do it though, the last thing the world needed was for the spider to return for his pleasure of the kill. But that didn't mean he couldn't eliminate the smell that permeated from his mate. His goal was to find the nearest water source and drop her in it. It wouldn't take him long to find the water source and it didn't. But he didn't have to drop her in it.

When the water came into sight, Kagome jumped from his arms and ran to the water. She didn't jump entirely in though. She knelt at the waters edge and dunked her entire head in. Sesshomaru wasn't sure as to why she didn't just jump completely in but he had an idea as to what she was doing and he did hope that she came up for air soon or she would faint from lack of it. Not that he blamed her, anyone would do the same if Naraku had kissed them.

After a minute she still had not pulled her head out of the water and he decided to pull her out of it. As he hauled her out she pushed against him to return to the water but he wouldn't let her, yet.

"What are you doing?" he asked her.

"Trying to get the taste of him off my lips and from inside my mouth." she said.

"I can get rid of it." he said and hauled her up to his chest.

"I know you can but I would rather that you didn't have to burden yourself with his taste." she said.

"I can manage." he replied.

He did manage too. Sesshomaru helped rid her mouth and lips of the taste of Naraku and also got her all the way in the water. He kissed her and held her tight and then dumped her, clothes and all, right in the water. She came up screaming at him but she had then stopped yelling and started swimming away from him.

What she had met when she broke the surface was a very turned on and naked dog demon, with red eyes. She knew what was going to happen, she smelled of Naraku and he was going to rectify it and possibly turn her legs and hips to jelly in the process. Sometimes it was such a bother being a mated woman, even though some activities were quite pleasurable.

She didn't hear him get in the water but as she was climbing out onto the bank she knew that he was. She was not but half way on the bank when she was jerked back in by her hips. She felt his claws dig into her skin but not peirce it and felt the obvious, being pressed and ground against her backside.

"I am tired." she informed him.

"You won't be in a second." he whispered against her neck.

"Oh great. Why did I have to be mates with a dog?" Kagome thought.

Sesshomaru was not one to give up on what he wanted and what he wanted then was his mate not reeking of another male! He licked up the back of her neck and she shivered and leaned against him. He wanted to have her that night and he wanted her to want him. Sesshomaru always got what he wanted.

Minutes later the air was being ripped through with the screams and howls of ecstacy. He wanted his mate so coated in his scent that no one, not even a human male, could mistake that she was already taken. He wore her out and then some. Never again did he want to find her scent violated by another male. He made sure that by the time he was done she was marked so thoroughly that she radiated of his scent and claim. When he had gotten there they both took a well deserved sleep.

Dawn was just showing its' tendrils when Kagome woke to find herself in Sesshomarus' arms, still completely worn out. She was really going to have to be careful with what she was thinking to be a good idea to defeat future enemies or just being around other males in general. Sheesh, she was going to kill him or at the very least put a set of beads on him. Yes, that was what she was going to do whenever they returned to the village.

"You're awake and you are planning something devious." Sesshomaru said beside her.

Kagome jumped at hearing his voice, she had thought that he was sound asleep. She was very wrong and now he was on to her.

"Yes, I'm awake and yes I am planning. What I am planning, is for me to know and you to find out. Eventually." she said.

Sesshomaru took that as a no. He was going to get his answers anyway that he could. Well using his more persuasive ways of getting her to talk. She was his mate after all and he loved her.

"Miko am I to use unfair methods to get you to speak?" he asked.

"You can if you want to but that doesn't mean I will tell you." she answered.

"Really?" he asked and attacked her.

Sesshomaru was kissing her and nipping at her lips, running his hands down her sides then up to her chest to tweak her already sensitive breasts. Kagome brought her heands up and to push him back but he was as unmoving as a mountain to her.

"Down. Down boy." she said inbetween kisses.

Sesshomaru stopped kissing her and quirked a brow at her. Did she really just say what he thought she said?

"Miko I may be a dog but I do not need to be treated as such." he growled.

"Yes you do. Now down boy. I can barely walk as it is, so I would appreciate being able to walk atleast a little. " she said and pulled away.

Sesshomaru watched her rise to grab her clothes and put them on. He, too redressed and was ready to get going to wherever she wanted to get to but she didn't do anything but sit back down on the ground. She then patted a spot next to her and he took a seat. Kagome then held up the jewel and stared at it. Even without saying a word he knew what she was thinking.

"Miko, you don't have to make the wish." he said.

"Yes I do. Midoriko needs to go to the afterlife." she replied.

"Then what do you want to do ?" he asked her.

"I don't know. I have to make the wish to set Midoriko free but I have know idea what to wish for. I don't know how to keep it from twisting any wish that is made upon it." she explained.

"Wish for it to be gone. Wish that the jewel would be gone, never to be seen again along with any chaos it had caused." he suggested.

"Maybe. We need to discuss it with the rest of them." she said.

"Then why are we still here?" he asked.

"I wanted to be alone with you a little longer, keep this peace I have when I am with you, before I have to make a decision that could make or break us." she said.

"Hmn." he said understandingly.

"We should go, shouldn't we?" she asked.

"We should." he said.

Kagome sighed as she put the Shikon Jewel back inside her shirt and stood beside Sesshomaru. She told him she was ready to go. Sesshomaru wrapped an arm around her waist and they lifted into the sky on their way to The Village of Edo.
