Chapter 5: The Bond Between Mates

Meanwhile, Sesshoumaru's beast was fuming and yelling at Sesshoumaru.

""Because she's nothing like you!"" his beast roared, making him cringe.

"It's just another reason why I love her some much," Sesshoumaru explained, "Kagome is kind, loving, always has a smile on her face, and can be very deadly when angered. Also, everything that Kagura is not."

"Ah, I see, and just when are you planning on telling her that?" his beast urged.

"Soon, if you will stop bugging me about it," Sesshoumaru groaned. He had just arrived at Kagome's house, and was standing at the top of the stairs when he heard some music that he had never heard before and Kagome's voice singing along with it.

There's something about the way the street looks when it's just rained

There's a glow off the pavement

You walk me to the car

And you know I want to ask you to dance

Right there in the middle of the parking lot, yeah

"This must be a new song that Kagome's written," his beast said, listening to the song.

We're driving down the road

I wonder if you know

I'm trying so hard not to get caught up now

But, you're just so cool

Running your hands through your hair

Absentmindedly making me want you

Sesshoumaru allowed her voice to wash over him like old times. He had missed this. When they were in middle school, he would spend hours with Kagome after school, watching her write new songs, and listening to her sing them when they were done.

And I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me headfirst

Fearless

And I don't know why

But with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress

Fearless

"God, how I love that woman!" Sesshoumaru thought.

So baby drive slow till we run out of road

In this one horse town, I wanna stay right here

In this passenger seat

You put your eyes on me

In this moment now capture it

Remember it

Sesshoumaru's eyes closed as he remembered the first time he saw Kagome in the park ten years ago.

And I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me headfirst

Fearless

And I don't know why

But with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress

Fearless

The first thought in his head was "This girl is crazy!" She never showed him any fear, unlike the rest of her species, at the time he thought that she was human, and well, so did she.

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway

My hands shake, I'm not usually this way but

You'll pull me in and I'm a little more brave

It's a first kiss, it's flawless, it's really something

It's fearless

To him, this song described her. She never showed fear in his presence, nor his father's. This was another thing that he loved about her, though he would never admit it.

And I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me headfirst

Fearless

And I don't know why

But with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress

Fearless

Everyone he met when he was little had automatically feared him for being a demon, or for who his father was. Kagome was the first person that he had ever met that wasn't afraid at first sight.

And I don't know how it gets better than this

You take my hand and drag me headfirst

Fearless

And I don't know why

But with you I'd dance

In a storm in my best dress

Fearless

"Kagome is really an amazing person," he whispered.

Oh, oh

And the music stopped and Sesshoumaru entered the house to find Kagome, Sango, Kikyo, Miyako, Hanako, Inuyasha, and Miroku sitting in the living room. Kagome held a guitar in her lap while everyone else was watching her with amazement.

"You wrote that Kags?" Miroku asked.

"Yup, I did, Roku! Not too long after I moved," she answered, "There's another one if you want to hear it."

"Yeah! I would really like to hear it, Kagome-chan!" Sango exclaimed.

"Why don't you join us, Sesshoumaru-kun?" Kagome inquired, holding out her hand to him as he took it and sat at her side as she took up her guitar again and started playing

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eye and the flashback starts

I'm standing there on a balcony of summer air

See the lights, See the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd and say hello

Sango was thinking that this was a little like Sesshoumaru and Kagome's story, as were Inuyasha and Miroku.

Little did I know

That you were Romeo

You were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go

And I said

Sesshoumaru was surprised that this song sounded kind of like the way that he and Kagome had met, except there was no one telling him to stay away from her.

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say yes

A love story; that was exactly what their story was. Sesshoumaru had loved Kagome from the beginning. He always had and always would.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew

So close you eyes, escape this town for a little while

Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

But you were everything to me

I was begging you please don't go

And I said

There was no doubt about it. Kagome had been meant for him since the beginning. It didn't matter that she wasn't born on Earth. All that mattered was that she had found her way to him, to his side.

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult but it's real

Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Kagome was his soul mate; the one he was meant for, as she was meant for him. She had been the one to show him that it didn't matter who he was or what he was, everyone needed a friend.

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town

And I said

Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you, but you never come

Is this in my head, I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Juliet, you never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby, just say yes

"I have to ask her soon," he thought, "Maybe at Chichiue's anniversary party." Every year, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's father threw a party to celebrate his father's mating to Izayoi.

Oh, Oh, Oh

Oh, Oh, Oh

We were both young when I first saw you

And the music stopped. Everyone was silent for awhile before Sango burst into tears and gave Kagome a hug, while saying, "Oh, Kagome-chan, that was absolutely wonderful!"

"Thanks," Kagome said while blushing and beaming at the same time. Sneaking a peek out of the corner of her eyes, she could see Sesshoumaru was deep in thought.

"Wonder what he's thinking about?" Kagome thought.

"Probably about us," her beast suggested.

"Maybe," she replied. Her mind returned to the conversation between the others. Inuyasha was telling everyone about Sesshoumaru and his father's 16th anniversary party that Saturday.

"Has it really been that long since Inu no Taisho-sama and Izayoi-sama mated?" Kagome thought.

"So are you guys coming?" Inuyasha asked. Kikyo, Hanako, and Miyako looked a little uncomfortable with the idea as Kikyo said, "If Kagome goes, I don't see why we can't." With everyone looking at her, Kagome eyes widened as she said, "Doesn't Inu no Taisho-sama and Izayoi-sama have to approve this first, Yash?" while raising an eyebrow.

"I already asked Mom and Dad if you guys could come," Inuyasha explained, "They approved it."

"I don't see why not," Kagome replied, with a smirk.

"They also wanted to know if you could sing a song for them, Kags," Inuyasha stated.

"We'll see," Kagome groaned.

"Aw, come on, Kags, you know they see you as a member of the family," Inuyasha coaxed, "And they love hearing you sing as much as we do."

Sighing, she answered, "I'll see if I can come up with something before tomorrow night."

"Mom and Dad will be so happy!" Inuyasha said as he grinned. Sesshoumaru even gave a small smirk. Yes, his father and Izayoi loved hearing Kagome sing, especially when she wrote new songs. When Sesshoumaru first introduced Kagome to his father, he all but adopted Kagome into his family, as had Izayoi. They had even insisted that she call them "Oji-chan" and "Oba-chan", but she still referred to them as Inu no Taisho-sama and Izayoi-sama when they weren't around.

The group stayed until dinner and then had to leave. Sesshoumaru almost dreaded going home. His father had gotten annoying in the last few years, trying to get him to start thinking about getting a mate. He, Sesshoumaru, had always thought that it was weird that his father had mated another so soon after his first mate died. Ayami, Sesshoumaru's mother, had died due to complications with Sesshoumaru's birth, barely a month later, Inu no Taisho announced that he had mated again, and that his new mate was with child. In five months, as dog demons gave birth after five months of pregnancy, Inuyasha was born. He may not have always looked as his brother with anything with hatred, but that didn't mean that he didn't care about him.

As Sesshoumaru pulled up the family mansion, he sighed. His father was standing by the door, talking to Inuyasha. Even from his car he could hear what they were saying.

"What did she say, Sochi?" Inu no Taisho asked. (Sochi means my son)

"She said she'd try to come up with something by tomorrow night," Inuyasha replied.

"Oh, good," Inu no Taisho sighed happily. Then noticing that his first born had appeared, he said, "Welcome home, Sesshoumaru."

"Hn," he groaned, making his father smile as he walked past him and up the stairs to his room. A large square room with a king sized bed with a blue comforter and matching pillows, a nightstand next to it with a picture of him, Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha, and Miroku(in that order) and an alarm clock, a desk in the far corner with a laptop, a printer, and a boom box, and a cabinet across from his closet. Setting his school bag on the floor, he quickly changed from his uniform into a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Turning on his computer, he noticed that Inuyasha (SilverPuppy) and Miroku (PervertedMonk) were IM-ing each other. Signing in (TheDevilWithin), he immediately got a message.

SilverPuppy – Yo!

PervertedMonk – What's up?

TheDevilWithin – What are you two up to?

Then he noticed that Kagome (AngelTemptress) and Sango (DemonSlayer) were online too.

AngelTemptress – Hey Boys! What's up?

DemonSlayer – Not being perverted I hope

Perverted Monk – Nothing much

SilverPuppy – Yeah, Miroku, knowing you you're thinking about a certain part of Sango's anatomy

AngelTemptress – Yash, you're beginning to sound a little like Roku

SilverPuppy – What! How am I sounding like that pervert!

TheDevilWithin – You just had to mention it, otouto, you just had to mention it

SilverPuppy – That doesn't make me like that perv

PervertedMonk – hey guys, I'm still here

AngelTemptress – we know, Roku, we know

SilverPuppy – Kags, shouldn't you be working on that song for tomorrow night?

AngelTemptress – it's done already

SilverPuppy – that was fast

TheDevilWithin – tell me about it

AngelTemptress – what can I say, I'm multi talented

DemonSlayer – yes we know, man I'm so excited about the party tomorrow

AngelTemptress – me too!

TheDevilWithin – just don't forget that it's casual

AngelTemptress – good thing too! I absolutely have nothing formal! Don't even try to get me into a prom dress!

DemonSlayer – y not? You'd look good in one!

AngelTemptress – don't do dresses

TheDevilWithin – I still think that you'd look good in one

SilverPuppy – we all know you do

TheDevilWithin – otouto, you want to die early

SilverPuppy – oh, lighten up, onii-san, you're too stiff

AngelTemptress – Yash, stop making fun of your brother!

SilverPuppy – but it's too much fun!

DemonSlayer – hey Kagome-chan!

AngelTemptress – hey what?

DemonSlayer – isn't your cousins, Rin and Shippo, coming over to visit for awhile?

AngelTemptress – no, they're coming to live with us. they're parents are getting custody taken away. i'm going to go to bed. ttyl

AngelTemptress has signed off

TheDevilWithin has signed off

PervertedMonk – why'd he leave?

SilverPuppy – god you're thick

DemonSlayer – isn't he

DemonSlayer – he left because Kagome left

PervertedMonk – oh, gotta go, mom's yelling at me again

DemonSlayer – bye Roku!

SilverPuppy – later

PervertMonk has signed off

DemonSlayer has signed off

SilverPuppy has signed off

Turning off the computer, Sesshoumaru started his homework which he completed in a matter of five minutes and went to bed.

Meanwhile, Malachite was informing Queen Beryl of his latest plan to acquire the Imperium Silver Crystal.

"Are you certain that your plan will work, Malachite?" she asked, face drawn and cold.

"Yes, after all, she was very protective of him," Malachite answered as Beryl started laughing hysterically.
