Hola folks. Sorry for the nearly three month wait. Life has been very busy for me and I didnt know quite where to go for this story, so it took forever to finish this Chapter.

A Simple Request

Chapter 15- A Family

Kagome nervously picked over her food and Sesshomaru sipped contently on a warm glass of blood. Kagome had thought it to be tomato juice until he let her taste it. A blend of herbs and spices had been added to it, but the drink was still blood nonetheless. "Am I going to have to meet them again soon?" She questioned finally, her plate nearly empty. Sesshomaru met her large eyes, seeing nothing but worry, shock, and fear.

"It is not necessary unless you wish to, but as my assistant you will have to be present at the company's start-off meeting in January." Kagome nervously chewed her bottom lip.

"What do you think they will say?" Sesshomaru watched her carefully before responding.

"This Sesshomaru does not know, however they will not reject you. The Usagi brothers have been searching for their lost sister for some time." Kagome smiled and relief flooded her eyes. Sesshomaru felt her aura relax in his hold and he finished the rest of his drink. Her aura was used to him now and all that was left was to find a way to unlock her true power. After shopping and their return home, Chorei would have to reveal some answers.

A dark figure brooded as he looked out a curtained window. "She is hiding from us dearest brother." He remarked angrily, "Not even a new cell phone or apartment and even her car disappeared, nor has she purchased a new one. Her bank accounts were closed, and probably started again in a new name."

"I know. We will have to have her before the next year ends."

"Hn," The man encased in the shadows replied simply, "the bitch can't be smart and hide this well forever."

"Do you think the Usagi clan has discovered their kin?"

"It will surely be our end if they do, so it is highly unlikely. Only her betrothed can smell her scent ad feel her true power."

"The hanyou has bordered the plane to return today my brethren." A man reported entering the room.

"Excellent Junior, I want you to track his whereabouts as soon as the plane lands. Corner him and bring him here. Make sure he does not have the chance to return to his brother."

"Yes brother." The man referred as Junior replied before leaving the room.

"She will have to come out when she hears of his supposed death." A malevolent chuckle echoed the dimly lit room.

"That she will." He replied, now fully encased in the shadows, "too bad she killed Michael and Gerald a few months ago. Jerome deserved being dumped in acid for trying to take her kit and we had warned him, but now we must not risk losing anymore of our brethren. We need more useful spies."

Kagome blew her bangs from her face as she finished wrapping the last gift then put it with the others in a large bag. Heaving a great sigh, she pushed the overstuffed bag under Sesshomaru's bed then clapped her hands together as if they were dirty. "There, all done!" she chirped to herself excitedly. She had even gotten Sesshomaru a gift or two when he looked away or she sent him to another store. One of which dangled from her belly button. When they had returned from the large Christmas splurge, Chorei had already taken the kids to the movies, giving Kagome ample time to wrap and hide gifts. Smacking her forehead, Kagome placed a barrier around the bag. Demons!

"It is a wonder why you are not brain damaged." Kagome jumped in surprise at the handsomely baritone voice suddenly behind her and placed a hand over her thumping heart as she turned.

"Jeeze, it's a wonder you haven't given me a heart attack yet."

"This Sesshomaru was not aware you could use your holy energy." Kagome frowned and shrugged.

"Small healing and a few barriers are about all." Sesshomaru grabbed her hair, which had been delicately pinned up, and tugged roughly, sending hairpins a strew as her heavy hair was released from its prison. Kagome gasped in surprise, her stunned blue-grey eyes meeting molten copper. He lowered his head to her neck and inhaled deeply.

"You have been manipulating this Sesshomaru's aura while I was trying to work." Kagome's eyebrows met in confusion.

"I have?"

"Yes Ka-go-me." Sesshomaru whispered causing tingles to trace up and down her spine.

"Umm-," Kagome managed before being tossed on his bed with her devilish beautiful youkai on top of her as soon as she landed.

"We are three steps away." Sesshomaru purred in her ear before nibbling it gently. Kagome withheld a moan and gripped his shoulders to bring him closer to her. The heat of his body caused her eyes to tinge blue.

"How?" She managed to ask after attempting a deep breath.

"We provided for each other's family, and each of us is one step. I provided gifts for you is another, and vice versa is one more." Kagome suppressed a moan once more as he nipped her collarbone.

"What's left?"

"Teach you to defend yourself, duel, and then mate." Sesshomaru answered abruptly, trailing his hands from her shoulders to her hips, where he gripped them tightly as he ground himself on her pelvic bone. He picked up her trapped left wrist and caressed it gently before sinking his fangs in his courting mark roughly, purposefully drinking more of her blood. Kagome moaned sensually and whimpered in pleasure as he began to lap the mark closed again. With a feral growl, Kagome was on top and licking her courting mark as well. Sesshomaru growled at her sudden dominance, but was taken back when she growled back then sunk her fangs into the courting mark.

"Kagome!" He growled in warning when she still had not removed her fangs. She was not drawing blood but simply left the mark open, creating a world of euphoria for him. The courting mark was an instant turn on when messed with, and even more when reopened. When the courting couple was about to mate, they would leave the courting marks open to experience the highest level of pleasure before the mark was replaced with the even more sensitive mating mark. She retracted her fangs slowly and sucked the mark closed again, leaving the daiyoukai with a painful erection.

Sesshomaru growled as she grinded against him and in an instant she was pinned beneath him. His eyes flashed red multiple times before he could control his beast fully. Kagome's eyes had bled cerulean completely and she mewed at him with want. His eyes flashed red as he bared his fangs at her in warning. She growled dangerously in response, bucking her hips readily against his member that rested on her leg. "Fight your beast." Sesshomaru growled to her with slight annoyance. A feral growl met his sensitive ears and he quickly flipped her on her stomach. She fought against him after he pinned her arms and the impatient dog demon growled low with another warning. Kagome growled threateningly and continued to struggle. Sesshomaru lowered his head slowly and sunk his fangs into her neck until she stilled completely. He removed them slowly, along with his weight and sniffed her gently.

She was temporarily unconscious and would awaken soon. Immense commotion downstairs alerted him of Chorei's return and he gently nudged his mate-to-be. She groaned and rolled over. "Why do my muscles feel like jello? Was I really wrapping presents for that long?" She questioned in a mumble as she sleepily yawned and opened her eyes slowly.

"It is merely an effect of submission and it will wear soon."

"Submission?" Kagome questioned hazily.

"Yes, your beast took over and this Sesshomaru was forced to subdue her. For a virgin, you are one horny bitch." Kagome flushed and sat up leisurely.

"Are Chorei and the kids back?" She questioned as her nose twitched delicately. Sesshomaru gave her a curt nod.

"They returned moments ago." A brilliant smile reached to Kagome's ears and she felt renewed with energy. "I have work to finish, when you have recovered and finished playing with them, bring Chorei and yourself to me." Sesshomaru ordered pecking her forehead gently. Kagome smiled again and nodded, watching him retreat before swinging her feet over the tall bed.

If she didn't know any better she could feel every demonic entity like never before. Shrugging, she leapt of the bed clumsily and stopped suddenly. As a matter of fact, it almost felt like someone was helping her control her aura by holding the weight of it, and slowly releasing unnoticeable amounts of it. Kagome quickly raced downstairs, dismissing her feelings, and was tackled as soon as she stepped off the bottom step. "Kagsies!" the unison voices of Shippo and Rin exclaimed.

"Hey guys!" Kagome answered enthusiastically, " I gave your lists to Santa and he said to expect some coal if you go snooping around!" Rin and Shippo giggled and let their mother-figure up into a sitting position. "So what do you guys wanna do until its bed time? I'm sorry I've been busy for a while."

"We understand Kagsie! We can go play outside till it gets dark and then you can make us some Fettuccini Alfredo the way Rin invented it, and then we'll go to bed." Kagome laughed but nodded. It was nearly three, meaning they had two and a half hours or less to make use of daylight.

"Alright, let's go guys!"

Since the children insisted they weren't hungry, Kagome moved the hyperactive kids outside. They played tag, hide-n-seek, and finally finished with watching the clouds as the sun set. She dragged them inside and into their separate bedrooms to bathe and change into pajamas while she cooked after washing her hands. By the time she finished making the spaghetti, Rin and Shippo were anxiously waiting. She fixed their plates with a glass of chocolate milk and joined them with her own helping and a glass of water.

Rin and Shippo chatter amiably about their time with Chorei and Kagome told them that after school tomorrow, they would play a board game when their homework was finished. After a second helping from the growing children, Kagome tucked them into bed and placed the dishes in the sink for Sesshomaru's servants to get in the morning and bounded off to find Chorei. She didn't quite understand why Sesshomaru needed the both of them, but hey, whatever floated his boat.

She found Chorei complete absorbed in a very ancient looking book in Sesshomaru's massive library. "Hello Miss Chorei!" Kagome greeted walking up to the table Chorei was sitting at.

"Why hello Lady Kagome, what brings you to the library this late?"

"Nothing much, whatcha reading?"

"Just an old book on auras." Chorei answered shrugging her shoulders and closing the book. Her eyes seemed to glitter a moment before she smiled.

"Sesshomaru wants to have a meeting with us in his study." Kagome told her, as Chorei's eyebrows rose in wonder.

"I see. Well, let us not keep the daiyoukai pup waiting." Chorei replied standing. Kagome followed her lead after giggling at the remark towards her future mate. She mentally wondered what all this was about. She knew Sesshomaru had mentioned something about an ancient spell or something. They reached Sesshomaru's study rather quickly under the brisk pace set by the butterfly demoness and Kagome could only wonder what the rush was.

Chorei made no move to knock or wait for Sesshomaru to say 'enter', she simply pushed open the double doors and Kagome meekly followed behind as they slammed shut.

"Have you no common sense or manners?" Sesshomaru questioned, his eyebrows raised as he typed rapidly on the keyboard.

"You could have very well triggered something catastrophic. Do YOU have any common sense?!" Kagome's mouth dropped. 'What happened?' Sesshomaru scowled, dropping whatever he was doing to attend to the situation at hand.

"This Sesshomaru knows very well what I was doing." He replied shortly.

"She is a delicate being Sesshomaru. Her powers have to be controlled through intense training BEFORE mating. You GUESSED what you were doing and you're lucky her aura accepted you!" Kagome drew back from the conversation, totally confused. She had the inkling that they were talking about, but she couldn't be sure.

"This Sesshomaru is aware that without the aura synchronization the task I accomplished would not have been possible." Chorei hissed angrily, causing Kagome to jump.

"Insolent pup!" She chastised, "You put the world at risk for your own gain." Sesshomaru growled warningly, "The world! Not just me!" She shouted pulling back her shirt to reveal three pink scars shaped like claws. "Not just you, but your children as well. How would you feel if those claws tore into Rin's shoulder?!"

Sesshomaru growled dangerously loud, his eyes flashing red at the idea. "No harm would have befallen my daughter. I would have subdued-,"

"You would have subdued what? You have to feed the beast in order to bring about any submission, and one as wild, powerful, and untrained as hers, that is set free to feed has to be slain!"

"She would have submitted to this Sesshomaru as she had before." Chorei scoffed, covering her shoulder.

"She wouldn't have submitted to shit," Kagome jumped at the profanity coming from the small insect, "In a lesser state of power, sure, but as uncontrolled as her aura alone is, she would have decimated you within seconds."

"This Sesshomaru is not so easily defeated." Whatever and whoever they were arguing about, Sesshomaru was barely defending himself, and even while doing so, he sounded childish.

"After you mate her, not before! Instead of working for you, she will be training with me. You will be overseas managing your company."

"Woman, you do not give this Sesshomaru orders!" Sesshomaru snarled, his eyes flashing red once more. A powerful wave of youkai shook the room and sent Sesshomaru to his knees. Kagome gasped in shock and covered her mouth with her hands.

"You would do well not to disrespect me Lord Sesshomaru. You may be my lord, but I am your elder by thousands. Quit being a foolish, incompetent pest for once and listen to the advice of your elder."

"Get out!" He roared enraged. Chorei bowed and left and Kagome made move to leave as well. "No, you stay." Kagome 'eeped' and froze. He stalked over to her quiet and masculine like before lightly tugging her hair to bring her eyes off the floor and into his intense gaze. "This Sesshomaru is not weak…" he assured her. She gave a soft smile as she stared into his blazing red eyes.

"This Kagome never thought you were." She teased his speech, before standing on her tiptoes to peck his lips. She nibbled on them with her fangs and he roughly shoved his tongue in her mouth, growling with approval as their tongues danced in a battle of dominance. He shoved her roughly on his desk, smirking before she pulled away gasping for breath. His mouth traveled to her neck, where he placed light, gentle kisses on her neck, erecting moans and mews of pleasure.

His hands worked his way under her shirt and kneaded her breasts while he grinded in between her thighs. Her hand tangled in his hair before yanking his head up for another breath-taking kiss. He sunk his fangs into her lip and she purred in delight. He growled and returned his attention to her neck, sinking his fangs into her pressure point, causing her to limp instantly. She would be bruised for a day or two and her neck would be sore, but he couldn't leave with her conscious. He kissed her forehead gently, his now amber eyes glowing in the dark as he gathered her in his arms.

He would leave her in his room. If she woke up with his scent surrounding her, she wouldn't panic. Sesshomaru tucked her in his bed and left only looking back to close the door. He had clothes at his apartment in Italy. He would be fine.

Kagome moaned as she awakened. She felt like shit and felt like she was in heaven at the same time. Groaning, she rubbed her neck. She must have slept the wrong way. The hybrid demoness inhaled deeply, smelling Sesshomaru all over. Strange, last she remembered they were in his study. Groaning again, this time at the intensity of the sun's rays in her face, she rolled over and opened her eyes. Sesshomaru was nowhere near, and hadn't been for quite a bit. Growling, she rose from her bed and grudgingly tread and dragged her feet to her room across the hall.

Rubbing her eyes, she opened her dresser, debating what to wear as she pulled out her sports bra, underwear, and a fresh pair of socks. "Glad to see you awake Lady Kagome!" Chorei chirped from the doorway. Kagome jumped in surprise, hissing indiscreetly, causing Chorei to chuckle.

"Good morning." Kagome said tiredly yawning. "Did Sesshomaru go to work?"

"Yes." Chorei answered, "If you're looking for something to wear, I have this for you, we'll be doing some training today." Kagome glanced at the training gear Chorei held and accepted it with a nod.

"If the kids need me, I'll be in the shower." Kagome mumbled gathering her clothes and sleepily walking into the bathroom. Chorei shook her head at the sleepy female. She wondered when she would notice it was Sunday and Sesshomaru would be gone for a few months. When she did, it wouldn't be very good.
