Chapter 4: Lady of the Western Lands

"I see…I do believe that Izayoi owns me an explain as to why she would betray me like that."

"I can't tell you anything about her actions my lord. If you'll excuse me I have to go and see Prince Sesshomaru?"

"Before you go…I want to ask you a few questions…why does Sesshomaru call you his mother."

"When I first saw him he reminded me of my own son Shippo…"

"So she has a mate then…there is no hope for me then…"

"Your mate must be missing you."

"Mate? Oh no I don't have a mate…."

"But you said…."

"Yes Shippo is my son…my adopted son…I couldn't imagine my life without him…when he had first asked me about me being his mother, his eyes sparkled with happiness. It was same look that Sesshomaru's gets when he calls me his mother. I treat Sesshomaru as my son and like all mothers I want him to be happy if me being a part of his life brings him happiness then I welcome it. But if these don't please you my lord I will tell Prince Sesshomaru to stop calling me his mother."

"No that would be necessary."

"Thank you my lord…if you will excuse me…"

Kagome got up from the pillow she was sitting on she browed to her lord then left the study. She had walked into the garden and played with Sesshomaru they were having so much fun that they didn't notice that night had fallen. They had entered the castle and to the dinner area. When dinner was ate Sesshomaru and Kagome went to his room she had tucked him in and read a story. When it was done she retired to her room dreaming about her life in the castle and with her lord.

Weeks had pasted Kagome and Inu-Tashio had become more close to each other, they would spent some time together. Inu-Tashio had feelings towards Kagome but he slowing began to show her some of his feelings. Kagome was sitting on the bench in the garden she was thinking about her relationship with Inu-Tashio. He had showed his feelings towards her but she felt that something was wrong something that Inu-Tashio was holding back.

She sighed the stars were beautiful they would always calm Kagome when ever she was thinking to much. Kagome missed her mother, brother and her grandfather, Sango, Shippo, Miroku and Inuyasha she missed then all and she couldn't go see them. The well still didn't work and Kagome didn't know if the well would ever work again.

(Flash black)

Kagome and Inu-Tashio had just finished dinner and they went for a walk in the gardens. The two held hands and walked side by side. They had stopped in front of the love pond and the two sat down, Inu-Tashio pulled Kagome into his arms and held her.

"Kagome?"

"Yes, milord?"

"You don't need to call me that…Inu-Tashio is just fine."

"Alright Inu-Tashio…"

"I really enjoy being with you…when I am with you I feel at peace…Kagome…"

(End of Flash back)

Kagome was deep into her thoughts that she didn't notice Inu-Tashio had walked into the garden and was standing beside her.

"Kagome?"

"Huh…good evening my lord."

"Kagome I have something that I wish to discuses with you."

"Speak my lord I am listening…"

Inu-Tashio walk to Kagome and kneed in front of her she Kagome would be able to see his face.

"Kagome we have known each other for a while now…I a feel complete with you by my side, I haven't felt this way and I don't want to lose this feeling…I love you Kagome…I want to know if you will be My Mate? My love? My other half of my soul? Anything and everything I have will be yours…."

"I love you too…Yes I would live to be your mate…"

Inu-Tashio took out a ring and placed it on Kagome's finger. He got up hugged Kagome then pulled her into a passionate kiss. Inu-Tashio picked up Kagome and carried her towards their new bedroom. When they entered the bedroom Inu-Tashio lowered Kagome on the bed and looked into Kagome's eyes.

"Kagome I am going to bite you neck this is going to hurt a little bit…then I am going to cut my own neck…I want you to drink the blood okay…"

"Why do I have to drink your blood?"

"It will give you the life span of an Youkai…then you will never died of old age…are you ready love?"

"Yes I am ready…."

Inu-Tashio lowered his mouth on Kagome's left shoulder he gave a few kisses then licked the spot where he was going to bite down on. He sank his fangs hard into her skin when blood was coming out of the wound his liked it until the blood had stopped. He lifted her head from her shoulder then he took her claws and cut in own skin. Kagome lifted her head to his shoulder and began to drink his blood, she was so draw to his blood that she had bit him as she was drinking. When the blood had stopped she lifted her head from the shoulder when she looked at the shoulder he had her bite marks.

"Hehe…I didn't mean to bite you."

"It's alright love…you bite mark never heal I will forever have this mark on me."

Kagome and Inu-Tashio spent the rest of the night making sweet and passionate love. In the morning Kagome woke up and she stretched she felted that the bed was empathy. Kagome looked around the room to see if maybe her love was in the room. She got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom she went into the hot springs. As she was soaking in the hot spring Kagome couldn't think about nothing but what had happened just a few hours ago.

When she was done taking her bath she walked back into the room and put on a kimono that was laying on the bed. Kagome decided to go to the breakfast hall to see if Sesshomaru was their and also if her mate was their as well. When Kagome walked into the room servants bowed to her and brought her breakfast. Sesshomaru smiled at Kagome, Kagome sat by Sesshomaru the servants came running in with breakfast.

"Morning mommy"

"Morning Sesshomaru…sweetie what do you want to do today?"

"Can we go to the village?"

"Sure sweetie."

"Have you seen Daddy today?"

"Nope I haven't maybe he went to patrol the lands…"

"Maybe…"

Kagome and Sesshomaru had finished eating their breakfast in silence. Kagome went to the gardens to wait for Sesshomaru so they could head out. She was sitting on a bench when she sensed an unfamiliar youkai aura coming towards her. She turned as saw Sesshomaru and another youkai walking behind him.

"Mommy…General Sin will be coming with us to the village…"

"It isn't necessary for you to come general…"

"No Milady…Lord Inu-Tashio appointed me the honour of being your personal body guard…"

"I see…but I thought that Tai was going to be my guard."

"I'm sorry My lady that I am disappointing you…I should go and tell Lord Inu-Tashio that you want some one else."

"No, it's nothing like that it's just that went I talked to Tai he told me that he would be the second mate of Inu-Tashio's body guard that's all."

"Well he would Milady but Tai is on a special mission, at the moment."

"Oh I see…well then are you boys ready to go?"

"Yes" they both said together

Kagome stood up and they began to walk towards the gates, Sin was quiet he didn't really pay any attention to what Kagome and Sesshomaru were talking about, Sin was mainly doing his job in keeping Kagome safe. Kagome couldn't take the silence anymore it was slowing driving her crazy.

"Sin if you don't mind me asking what kind of youkai are you?"

"I am a wolf youkai Milady…"

"Please stop with the Milady stuff…its to formal for me…call me Kagome."

"I can't do that you are now the Lady of the Western Lands…"

"If I begged you wouldn't change your answer?"

"Nope"

"What if I kicked and screamed?"

"Then I Milord would have me head…if I means that much to Milady I could call you Kagome when no one is around…"

"Thank you that's all I ask of you…one more question?"

"Yes?"

"Are you there yet?"

"Almost Kagome."

"Sesshomaru sweetie you are so quiet what's wrong?"

"Its nothing mommy I am just happy that's all."

"If you say so…"

They continued to walk towards the village in a slow pace an hour later they had arrived. Kagome walked over to the shop to see the fabrics they had, she brought a beautiful red silk with black stitched borders. She also found some baby blue silk with a moon and star pattern all around. When that was over she was to Sesshomaru and Sin they were sitting on the rock watching Kagome walk over to them. Sesshomaru seemed bored, Kagome placed the items near Sin and she walked back to the village saying she would be right back.

When she came back she had a bright red ball for Sesshomaru and Sin to play with. She went back to the village to get a few more things Kagome found a beautiful necklace with a dog pendent she just had to get it. Kagome's shopping was cut short when she heard someone screaming. Kagome ran out of the shop with her belongings and headed towards the scream. When she arrived at the scene Sin was on the floor unconscious and tied up their were a formed group of men hovering over something. Kagome could hear whimpering from a child, her child…

"Sesshomaru?"

"Momma?"

"I coming baby"

The men turned to see that Kagome was running towards them to save the boy. One of the men order another two to grab her, they grabbed her arms tightly so she couldn't move. They would going to hurt Sesshomaru then what they were going to her she didn't know or care. Sesshomaru was crying Kagome could feel her own tears spilling down her face one man in front which Kagome believed to be the group leader picked up a short wide stick. (kind of looked like a bat, but not round) Kagome's eyes widened as she thought what they were going to do to Sesshomaru. She felt her anger and power growing no one would hurt her child, Kagome instincts began to kick in her eyes had a tint of red in them. She looked at the men that were holding her, she lifted her legs and kicked one in the gut.

He had let go and curled himself with the pain and he was screaming at the top of his lungs. The other man was in shock and he just let go afraid of what she meant do to him. All the other men turned towards their fellow companion on the floor many were shocked to see him there. Kagome walked over to them many had already run away not wanted to get hurt while others stayed to watch the scene unfold to them. Kagome to hear the Screams of Sesshomaru and it was killing her inside to hear her child being hurt. She ran towards Sesshomaru hugging him close to her a few men saw this as a opportunity to attack.

Kagome's aura changed the second she was attacked she walked over to where Sin still laid unconscious. She placed Sesshomaru there and told him not to move, she placed a kiss on her forehead them she faced her enemies. Kagome was surrounded by a purple-pink light, her eyes burned with fire. Her instincts told her to kill all the foolish men who dared hurt her child and attack her. Her nails grew into claws they were red at the tip with probably meant that they had some kind of poison in them. She ran towards them with in-human speed, she swiped her claws into the flesh of the men. Feeding some poison to the men that had hurt her, she took pleasure in watching the men die slowly and painfully.

As she was walking back to Sesshomaru and Sin Kagome heard some movement in the brushes. She quickly grabbed the man before he decided to escape from her, she looked into his eyes and know that he was afraid for his life.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to see…"

"Who planed this attack?"

"I don't know."

"Your lying…I don't like liars."

"Please Milady don't kill me."

"I wouldn't kill you until I get my answer…I will ask you again who planed this attack on my son?"

"It was…"
