Chapter 26: Tokyo Today
"Touchdown. Wow, I can't believe it worked."
"Momma… I feel dizzy…"
"Me, too…" Rin echoed Shippo's voice.
"I believe that I have won our disagreement, dear." Sesshomaru said with a smirk.
Kagome couldn't even reprimand him as she gave a whoop when suddenly they were in the air, and standing outside the Bone Eater's Well inside the hut. "Welcome to the year 2006 in Tokyo, Japan. All demons please make sure to cover your noses before exiting the building, and please Sesshou- don't kill anyone." She added.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at the name, but nodded his head.
Kagome smiled brightly at him before giving him a kiss. They walked up the few steps to the door, Shippo on her hip and Rin holding Sesshomaru's hand. Kagome turned to them and smiled. "Welcome to my home, the Higurashi Shrine."
Kagome opened the door, and immediately Shippo dug his nose into her shoulder. "My nose!" He whined.
Kagome's eyes widened and she looked up at her Mate. He was clearly holding his breath. "This way!" She said, practically running to her home.
Once she closed the door behind her, she noticed her Mate and kit relax, and she smiled. "Oka-san, is this your home?" Rin asked, her eyes wide in wonder.
"Hai, it is." She said, before calling out, "Mom! Souta! Jii-chan! I'm home- and I brought company!"

Mrs. Higurashi dropped the pan she had been washing back into the water-filled sink. "Kagome?" She asked, more to herself than anything. The elder woman was instantly inside the door frame, her eyes wide as she glanced at her daughter.
"Ohayo, Momma." Kagome said with a bright smile.
Mrs. Higurashi, momentarily missing the others that were crowding her hallway, rushed to her daughter and gave her a massive hug. "Kagome, you're home!" She said.
Kagome hugged her mother back, and watched as her mother looked her up and down. "What happened?" She asked. "You look beautiful."
Kagome gave a small laugh. "Before I explain, I should probably introduce you to the others."
"Others?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, before finally taking note of the other occupants.
"Hai, Momma." Kagome said, picking up Shippo from the floor and placing him on her hip. "Shippo, this is your grandmother." Kagome said with a smile.
Mrs. Higurashi watched as the cutest little bundle of orange and blue smiled brightly at her from her daughter's hold. "Hi! You're the one that always make the really good cookies for me!"
Mrs. Higurashi reached across to take her grandson and give him a hug. "So you're Shippo! It is so good to finally meet you! You are just the cutest thing, is that a real tail?" She asked.
"Yup!" Shippo answered. "I'm a full-blooded fox demon!"
Kagome looked over at Rin, who had been cowering behind Sesshomaru's leg the entire time. Kagome reached out for the girl, and with a small nudge from the TaiYoukai she let Kagome take her into her arms. "Momma, this is the newest addition, my adopted daughter, Rin." She said. "Rin, this is my mother, and your grandmother."
Rin looked from Kagome, to the older woman. "Grandma?" She asked.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "Kagome, she looks exactly like you did at that age!" She explained, putting Shippo down.
At this statement, Rin beamed at the older woman. "I want to be just like Oka-san when I grow up!"
Mrs. Higurashi immedietly melted over the child, and took her in her arms for a hug. "I'm sure that you will." The older woman replied.
"Um, Momma? There's something else."
Mrs. Higurashi looked up to her daughter, who noticed that she was standing very close to a very handsome… well; of course it had to be a demon. He had a hand placed on her daughter's shoulder, offering comfort, and she didn't miss the loving and grateful glance that her daughter gave him. "And who is this?" She asked. "He looks almost identical to InuYasha."
Kagome winced, but a smile was on her face non-the-less as Sesshomaru gave an un-lordly like snort. "Momma, this is Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands, a full blooded and deadly Inu TaiYoukai. He is InuYasha's older half-brother," she emphasized, and took a breath, "and my Mate… err, husband." She said.
Mrs. Higurashi set Rin down, who moved to stand beside Shippo. All watched as Kagome's mother walked straight up to the TaiYoukai, so close that she was almost touching him. Kagome gulped, praying to Kami that Sesshomaru remembered this was her mother and that he promised not to kill anyone while he was here.
Kagome's face paled as her mother reached for the fluffy tail draped around her Mate's right shoulder. "Is this your tail?" She asked, petting it.
Kagome hastily stepped in to intercept her mother. "Mom! Don't do that!" She exasperated.
"What? Oh, sorry. Lord Sesshomaru, it is an honor to have you in my home." Kagome's mother gave a small bow. "If my daughter has chosen you for a life partner, I have no doubt that you are the noblest male around, and will love her for who she is." Mrs. Higurashi glanced at Kagome for a moment, pointing out the fact that Kagome would no longer have to be second best. Her daughter did not deserve it.
Sesshomaru nodded his head. "Of course. Seeing as how we are family, you may simply refer to me as Sesshomaru." Kagome's mouth was hanging open in shock as she watched Sesshomaru give her mother the slightest of bows.
Her mother turned to her. "He's very nice, Kagome. And quite the man to look at."
Sesshomaru held vast amusement in watching is Mate's face light up like the setting sun. "Momma!" She gasped.
A tugging on her skirt caused Mrs. Higurashi to glance down at Shippo. "Grandma? Can we have some cookies? I smell fresh ones in the kitchen…" He said.
"Shippo." Kagome said in a warning tone.
"Nonsense, Kagome! This is my first time seeing my grandson who I have heard so much about, and I also find out that I have a granddaughter and a son-in-law! This is a time to celebrate!" Mrs. Higurashi turned to face the stairs, and shouted at the top of her lungs. "SOUTA! DAD! KAGOME'S HOME AND SHE HAS A SURPRISE!"
Sesshomaru and Shippo winced, and Kagome kissed both their cheeks to make up for it. Kagome looked up as thundering was heard coming down the stairs. "ONEE-CHAN!" Souta called out, before stopping dead in his tracks. Souta, who hadn't really seen his older sister since his 9th Grade Greek Festival at school, glanced in shock as his eyes widened. "Um, sis? Why do you have a blue crescent moon on your forehead, and have fangs? Who are they? Why does he look so much like InuYasha?"
Sesshomaru gave a growl, this time crossing his arms over his chest in annoyance at the fact that her entire family seemed to think his half-brother resembled him. Kagome's mouth opened to reply, but a cry stopped her.
"DEMON BE GONE!" Came her jii-chan's shriveled voice.
"Grandpa, no!" Kagome said, standing in front of Sesshomaru. Rin had again attached herself to Sesshomaru's leg, looking around his side at the strange old man in priest clothing.
"Kagome, stand aside!" She was told.
Kagome gave an exasperated growl, and placed her hands angrily on her hips. "Is that anyway to greet your grandson-in-law and your great-grandchildren?" She almost shouted at him, stopping as she remembered her Mate's and son's sensitive hearing.
Her grandfather stood there with wide, white eyes and an open mouth. Souta looked very much like a fish out of water.
"Why don't we all sit down? I'll get some tea." Mrs. Higurashi suggested as she and Kagome ushered every one into the living room. Kagome, Sesshomaru, Rin, and Shippo sat down on the couch, while Souta sat on the floor, and Kagome's grandfather sat on the big chair.
"Of course she's not surprised." Her grandfather mumbled to himself.
"So, Kagome? What's going on?" Souta asked.
Kagome sighed. This was going to take awhile.
88888888
By the time Kagome finished explaining and getting the introductions done, her mother had returned with a tray of tea and cookies.
"Here you go! And I brought extra cookies and some milk for the kids." She said. Shippo's eyes widened with glee as he hopped off the couch and sat at the table. Rin looked up at Sesshomaru, who nodded his head in approval. It didn't smell dangerous, and this was his Mate's mother, after all.
Shippo handed a delicious smelling cookie to Rin. "Here, Rin! This is a cookie! Oka-san always brought Grandma's cookies to me, they are really good!" He said to his sister.
Rin slowly brought the cookie to her lips, and took a bite. The family watched as her face slowly broke out into a huge smile, and she cheered. "It's really, really good!" She said, taking a huge bite.
"Would you like to try one, Sesshomaru?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"Mom, Sesshomaru is a dog demon… chocolate is toxic to them." She said.
"That's alright. I thank you, but no." Sesshomaru answered in a slightly warmer-than-his-usual-tone tone.
"So, you are the TaiYoukai of the Western Lands?" Kagome's grandfather asked, his eyes lowered in a scrutinizing glare.
Sesshomaru mimicked his glare. "Hai."
Kagome's Jii-chan kept his gaze a moment longer, before nodding. "Than you are incredibly strong, and will be more than able to support my grandchild." He said.
Kagome sweat dropped. (Thanks for the concern, Gramps.) She thought sarcastically.
Souta looked over at Shippo. "Hey, how are you doing in those games? Sis said that you beat the DBZ game already."
Shippo smiled brightly. "Yeah! Hey, can we battle?"
Souta smiled with an evil glint in his eye. "Hai, but I'm not going easy on you just because you're my nephew." Souta warned him.
Shippo's eyes reflected the competitive glare. "You're on!"
Souta reached over and pressed the button that turns the TV on, and Rin let out a scream as it began to talk, and images appeared. Sesshomaru stood, growling in warning.
"Sesshomaru, no, it's ok! Rin, sweetie, that's just a TV." Kagome explained.
"A… TV?" She asked.
Sesshomaru said back down, though he continued to eye the box that moved.
"Yes. You know what theatre is, correct?" She asked. When Rin nodded, the warrior Miko continued. "A TV is like theatre, only there are many, many shows on at the same time, and you can pick what you want to watch. See? Right now, your Uncle Souta is hooking up a game, just like the one Shippo has, only bigger." Kagome said as she sat heavily down on the couch next to her Mate.
Rin nodded, and moved slowly next to Shippo and Souta, who both were engrossed in playing the game. In fact, it really was quite adorable how both of them had their tongue sticking out at the corner of their mouths as they became sucked into the virtual world. Soon, Rin was doing the same, and they even taught her how to play and took turns.
"That is so cute." Mrs. Higurashi said with a smile. She then turned to her daughter. "So, Kagome, how long are you going to stay?"
Kagome mentally sobbed. (I really hate it when they ask me that.) She thought. "We have to leave early tomorrow morning. We are going to-"
Sesshomaru cut her off. "The annual Lord of the Lands Gala is being held in two days. As the Lord of the West I, my Mate, and my family are expected to attend. It is part of the peace agreements."
Kagome growled slightly at being interrupted, but her mother and grandfather were very interested. "That sounds fascinating. Would you mind telling me about the other lords? Maybe you could be so kind as to answer some questions?-"
Kagome and her mother sighed as the demon lord and the oldest Higurashi member in the house became enthralled with youkai politics. Kagome stood, helping her mother with cleaning up. In fact, when the phone rang, Rin didn't even scream as Kagome answered it.
"Hello?
"Higurashi-chan? It's Hojo. How are you doing?" Came the voice.
Kagome mentally sobbed. Why? Why didn't he just give up? What did she have to do to get it through his head, have Sesshomaru beat it into him? Despite how tempting that sounded, she couldn't do it. "I am fine, Hojo, thank you. How are you?" She asked.
Sesshomaru, finally ending the long conversation with the intriguing human, rose and stood beside his Mate, sensing her distress. He could also hear everything that was being said in the conversation, wondering how that particular invention worked.
"I am very well, thank you. I was wondering, since you haven't had any problems lately, if you were free for Friday? My cousin was able to get me some concert tickets, and I thought you might was to come along? I know that HiHi Puffy Ami Yumi is your favorite…"
Kagome hung her head, dreadfully not wanting to go. (Wake up people; do I look sick to you? And yeah, they were my favorite- back when I was 15! That was almost 4 years ago! Come on, Hojo!) "I'm sorry, Hojo, but actually I am booked up. I have a very important-"
"Kagome, who is on the phone?" Sesshomaru commanding voice rang out strong into the phone. He heard the human gulp.
"It's just a friend of mine, Sesshomaru." Kagome said warmly, smiling when he wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned back into his hold. Maybe if Hojo found out about her being taken, he would finally leave her be.
"Who, dear?" He asked, biting playfully her ear.
"Hojo, he went to my high school." Kagome told him, shivering as she still talked into the phone.
"That's nice. We should get going; we do not want to be late." He told her, giving her an excuse to return to him.
Kagome wanted to jump him. "Right! Hojo, I'm terribly sorry, but I have to go. Have a good day!" She said.
"Bye-"
Kagome slammed the phone down, and turned around to face her Mate. She instantly threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. "I knew there was a good reason I Mated you!" She cried, kissing him again.
Sesshomaru's arms encircled her waist. (This Sesshomaru likes…)
A click was heard, followed by a flash, and Sesshomaru pushed Kagome behind him as his hand went to his sword hilt as he looked around for danger to his Pack.
"It's alright, Sesshomaru. I just took a picture." Kagome's mom told him, smiling as she waved the digital camera.
"Mom!" Kagome whined.
"Don't even start, Kagome. I have no pictures from your wedding, or any of my grandchildren, and so the whole family is going to march outside and take pictures. The Shrine is closed today, so it's fine." She answered.
The older Higurashi stood, wrapping his hands behind his back. "I think now is a good time to go-"
Mrs. Higurashi glared at her father, who instantly knew where his grand-daughter got her temper, and shuffled outside.
First, Mrs. Higurashi had Sesshomaru, Kagome, Rin, and Shippo pose several times together under the Goshinboku. Then she took pictures of just Rin and Shippo, of Rin, Shippo, and Souta, some more of Kagome and Sesshomaru, and many more. Over the course of a half hour, Mrs. Higurashi had almost one hundred pictures of every pairing she could think of, and was eager to print them out on her computer.
"Mom, I want the doubles. I want to bring them home with me." Kagome said. Mrs. Higurashi promised she would make double and put them in a nice album.
Souta and Shippo were again playing video games, and Kagome's grandfather was teaching Rin about all the reasons why one becomes a priest. Kagome smiled, and snuggled into her Mate's embrace on the couch.
"This is rather… comfortable." Sesshomaru's low voice said.
Kagome looked up at him and smiled. "It's the couch. Hey, Rin, Shippo, do you want to come see my room?" She asked.
Both children immedietly sprang up, Souta and the TV forgotten as he was whining about how he was finally winning, and they followed Kagome and Sesshomaru up the stairs.
Sesshomaru knew what room was hers – his Mate's scent was rolling around the air. Rin and Shippo looked around everything. Kagome spent the rest of the early afternoon explaining the computer and showing them what you can do on it, the phone, her bed, her clothes and shoes, the hairdryer, the shower and bath and toilet, the sink, and any and every object that interested them. It was a mind blowing experience for them, and even Sesshomaru couldn't hide his fascination. The shower looked very appealing for two dirty Mates…
88888888
After dinner, Kagome asked if they wanted to walk around Tokyo.
"Kagome." Souta said. "They don't exactly… fit in." He pointed out.
Kagome went over her family. He was right – they would stick out like a sore thumb.
"I have the perfect solution." Mrs. Higurashi said from the living room doorway, a bundle of clothes in her arms.
Kagome's eyes widened. "Mom, you're a genius!" She praised, taking the clothes.
"I know." She smiled innocently. "I've saved a lot of your's and Souta's old clothes for when you have children. They were all so adorable I couldn't get rid of them."
"I'm so very glad you did!" Kagome said with a smile. She handed Shippo baggy tan pants and a green shirt with a blue jacket, since it was getting cold out. "Shippo, sweetie, can you use your magic is transform to look like a human?" She asked.
Her kit smiled. "Of course!" He answered. Kagome walked over to Rin, and handed her a beautiful white sun dress and a pink jacket. "Here, sweetie. I know you would prefer a dress." Rin looked at the dress and smiled at the yellow flowers that decorated it. "It's very pretty!" Rin said, happy to be wearing a dress that had once been worn by her mother.
"Mom, where did you get these?" Kagome asked, looking over the clothes in her hands. Sesshomaru didn't miss how her eyes glazed over slightly, and she ran her hands over the silk shirt affectionately.
"I kept everything of your father's belongings. I believe your husband will more than give them justice." Mrs. Higurashi said, wrapping her arm around her daughter's shoulder.
(Her father? She had never mentioned him before.) The TaiYoukai thought.
Kagome nodded with a small smile, before handing Sesshomaru the black dress pants and a white silk button-up shirt, and a black jacket. "Here, Sesshomaru." She said, holding them out for him.
Sesshomaru stepped up to his Mate, looking her in the eyes. He brought a hand up to cup her cheek, and gave the smallest of smiles. "Arigato, Mate." He said.
Another flash broke the moment, and Mrs. Higurashi gave a gleeful cheer. "That was so kawaii!" She said.
Kagome shook her head. "Momma, will you help Rin and Shippo? I'm going to go help Sesshomaru. Wait down here." She said, leading him up to her room. Her mom nodded, and ushered her grandchildren – she was a grandma! – Into the bathroom.
Upstairs, Kagome closed her door. "Here, Sesshomaru. Let me help you." Kagome said, untying his sash. Sesshomaru's arousal grew at his Mate's actions with her hands, and Kagome stopped when striped hands gently gripped her wrists. She looked up surprised, and then a blush rose to her cheeks as Sesshomaru brought her hands to his lips and gently kissed her knuckles. "You are stunning, Kagome. Intelligent beyond anyone could believe, and mine."
Kagome's blushed darker, and she knew that Sesshomaru could now smell her arousal – the smirk on his lips and the darkening of his eyes told her so. Kagome gently freed her hands and brought them down to his waist, taking the Tensaiga in her hands and setting it on her desk without breaking eye contact with her demon lover. When she reached for Tokijin, Sesshomaru moved to stop her, but she refused. He let his eyes leave hers as he fearfully watched her grasp it, and her hands glowed blue as the sword tried to overpower her. However, it was instantly beaten down, and Kagome laid the dangerous and powerful sword next to the other and next removed Sesshomaru's armor.
888 LEMON WARNING! You wanted more, you got it! 888
Kagome soon found herself winded as Sesshomaru bent down to take her lips with his. Kagome let out a startled moan, pressing her body against his as his arms came and wrapped around her waist. He pressed her down against her bed, moving so that they could completely lay down with comfort. Kagome moaned once more as her Mate slowly ran his hands over her hips and up to stomach, passing over her chest as he began to remove her warrior's uniform. Within seconds, Kagome could feel his smooth, yes, smooth hands running along her bare skin, and it sent a needful fire through her. Kagome brought her own hands down from around his neck and she pushed his haori aside and over his muscled shoulders and arms. Tossing it to join her clothes on the floor, she ran her hands over his rippling muscles, delicately at first before then running her claws down his chest to his stomach. That caused Sesshomaru to buck his hips to hers and growl pleasantly, and Kagome gave a smile at her new discovery. She wrapped her arms around to his back, repeating the action and receiving the same answer.
From his lower back, Kagome brought her hands around his waist to his stomach once more, letting his tongue delve down and work miracles on her mouth and run over her small fangs. He seemed pleased by the appearances of himself that appeared on her after their Mating, and rewarded her for it. He left her mouth to leave her gasping in passion as he moved to her neck and collar bone, nipping and licking and kissing along the way. When he came to where is Mark rested on her skin, he gently licked it, feeling his Miko's body rise in heat. "Sesshou, they will hear-"
"No, they will not." He told her in a deep, husky voice. Kagome felt his aura expand and create a barrier around her room. Kagome's body sang with pleasure that she could now let them continue. She rid his of his pants, abandoning them at the base of her bed as she let one hand return to his neck and entangle in his silver hair, and the other to gently tease his hard member.
Sesshomaru wouldn't let her get away with it, thought. He instantly brought his own hand to her stomach, running it down till he cupped her core. Kagome let out a gasp as she called for more.
"Sesshou…" She panted.
"Yes, my Mate?"
His response was a moan, and he dipped one finger between her lips, running it over her wet bundle of nerves. Her hips bucked into his hand. "Sesshou…" She whispered.
"You must tell me what you want, dear." He replied his own husky voice and now blood red eyes boring into hers as she looked at him dreamily.
"More…" She whispered. Sesshomaru allowed a clawed finger to slip into her moist womanhood, feeling the slick juices lube his finger. Kagome grasped his member, pumping it with her hand and causing Sesshomaru to bite into her Mark, sending both of them a wave of passion.
"Sesshou…" Kagome begged.
"No." He responded. He slipped another finger into her, pumping in and out while letting the friction cause his Mate to toss her head to the side.
"Koi…" She whispered, pumping him harder. His own lube dripped down his length, allowing his hands to feel even smoother as she ran her hand over his throbbing penis.
"Kagome…" He gasped, letting his thumb massage her clit.
"Oh, Kami." Kagome breathed, arching her back to him. Sesshomaru pulled his member away from her seductive hand, and Kagome let her small claws dig into his back. "Sesshomaru!" She pleaded.
When the demon lord couldn't take it anymore, he positioned his tip at her entrance, and slid in.
"So tight, Mate…" He panted, his fangs elongating as his eyes bled. Kagome panted as he began to rock in and out of her, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, holding him close.
"Hmmm, faster." She moaned, rising to meet him thrust for thrust.
Sesshomaru did just that, more than enjoying the feel of his Mate, the woman that only he would know and pleasure for the rest of their lives. Kagome's lips went to his neck, kissing and licking as he did the same. His claws dug into her blankets as he pounded into her, and soon Kagome couldn't keep up.
Sesshomaru felt her walls tightening around him, squeezing him and making him come closer.
"Sesshou, I'm-"
"I know, my Kagome…" He said, grazing her with his fangs. He pumped her harder, and Kagome was moaning as panted. She arched her back into him, and soon her body began to shake. Sesshomaru did one more thrust before she felt him tighten around him and sink her fangs into the Mark she had given him.
That was the final straw – Sesshomaru beat into her and released, sinking his long fangs into her neck and roaring out his domination. He felt her milk him clean, and pulled her close to press against him.
After a few moments, Kagome smiled at him happily. "We should clean up…" She said.
The reminder of the shower had Sesshomaru carrying his prize to the attached bathroom, Kagome asking why he was so anxious.
888 END LEMON. Sorry about its badness… I just did it for you guys. 888
After finding out exactly why her Mate was suddenly so anxious for a shower, and blushing Kagome showed her husband how to wear the modern clothes. Sesshomaru was fascinated by the teeth, the 'zipper', on the pants and managed to not show it. Although they were a bit uncomfortable, they were nice.
Kagome couldn't believe how handsome he looked in her father's clothes. If Sesshomaru was born in her era, he would no doubt be a top and very successful business man, with the entire female population after him.
Kagome slipped into the bathroom and began to blow dry her hair, leaving Sesshomaru to look around her room. While she was in there, she quickly changed into a knee-length red silk dress that flared out at her waist.. It was very form fitting, with slits on both sides that stopped at a few inches up. The top was a simply halter top, and Kagome blushed when she realized that the curve of her breasts were emphasized. Grabbing a warm black jacket, she stepped out.
Sesshomaru's beast howled at the sight of his Mate. Never had he seen anything so… the TaiYoukai's mind couldn't even think of a word to describe it. However, he wanted to rip the dress off and repeat their earlier actions.
Kagome blushed at the red-gaze of her Mate, and new his reaction. Actually, she could see it. She smiled, the blush matching her dress. "Do you like it?"
Sesshomaru pulled her flush against him, growling. "I have a feeling I will be killing many males tonight." He told her.
Kagome smiled, and kissed his lips. "You can't, you promised." She said.
Sesshomaru growled, and dipped her back slightly with a mind blowing kiss. "We shall see. This Sesshomaru makes no promises when it comes to what is mine."
Kagome laughed, though clearly flattered. "You did it again." She pointed out. "If you keep doing that, I'm going to have to give Rin bags of candy to speak properly like you want her to."
Sesshomaru grunted, and allowed his Mate to… 'Make up' both their faces to hide the markings before following his Mate down the stairs.
Souta, the first to notice his sister FINALLY joining them, smiled. "Looking good, sis." He said.
Kagome laughed. "Thank you." She said, before sticking out her tongue.
"Yup, that proves it – the devil wears red." He replied, rolling his eyes.
Kagome shook his hair playfully. "Thank you again." She said.
"Momma! You look gorgeous!" Rin cheered.
"Wow, Oka-san!" Shippo said, tugging her dress. "You look very pretty!" He told her.
Kagome kissed both of her two children on their foreheads. "And so do the two of you, my darlings. Don't they, Sesshomaru?" She asked, looking up at her Mate.
Rin tugged at his pant leg, and he smiled gently down at her. Rin gave a bright smile in return.
"Pictures!" Mrs. Higurashi cheered.
After appeasing her mother, and ten minutes of flashing later, Kagome turned to her brother. "Do you want to come with us?" She asked.
Souta smiled. "You bet!" He, too, grabbed a jacket and stood up.
Mrs. Higurashi handed Kagome a credit card. "Here. Have fun." She told her daughter.
"Thanks, mom." Kagome said, hugging her mom and walking out. "Sesshomaru, Rin, and Shippo, you are about to be amazed. I present to you – the magical Night Life of Tokyo!"
88888888
Shippo and Rin where thrilled with what went on below the Shrine steps. "What are those? Are those demons?" Rin asked, pointing at the cars as they flew by.
"No, Rin. Those are cars. They are like carriages, only they can move by themselves, and can travel a lot faster." Kagome explained.
"They all look so different." Shippo said.
"Different people make different kinds." Souta continued.
"They smell disgusting." Sesshomaru spat, wrinkling his poor nose.
"I'm sorry. Come on; let's go get something to eat." Kagome said. She held out her hand, and a yellow and black car stopped in front of her. "Just get in like Souta and I do. Shippo, Rin, you sit on our laps." Kagome said.
Sesshomaru was growling to whole ride, clearly not enjoying the small space inside the moving vehicle, or the driver. Soon, however, they reached a small, nice restaurant and got out. This pleased Sesshomaru to no end.
Once inside, they were seated. The hostess, after remarking at how adorable the family looked, handed Rin and Shippo crayons and paper – this they knew how to do well. They spent the time before their food came drawing and having Kagome help them with the puzzles and games on the small book. Sesshomaru smiled inwardly with pride at his family, while glaring at males between then, of course. Souta find this utterly entertaining, and didn't hide his laughter when many of the males that came to close ran away, looking like they would piss their pants.
Kagome and Souta decided that it would be best to walk through Tokyo. Rin and Shippo were amazed at the lights of the city. Sesshomaru asked questions about how the buildings were constructed to be so tall and not fall down. He was amazed at how far ningens had come.
Souta was telling Shippo and Rin about the time that InuYasha had come and saved Kagome from the Noh Mask, seeing as how they were currently under the building where the battle took place. Both laughed when he got to the part about how Kagome acted when she was late for school.
Kagome pointed out the crepe vendor, and bought everyone a crepe. Both children wanted banana-chocolate, and Sesshomaru took Strawberry. Kagome did the same, and Souta chose raspberry.
They walked around more, pointing out Tokyo Tower. When Souta suggested that they go and look at the view, Rin and Shippo jumped at the chance. However, they would have to take the freight train.
It took Kagome and Souta near fifteen minutes for convince Sesshomaru that none of them would be hurt and to get him to step near the train. When they finally did get the TaiYoukai on the train, Kagome and the others sat down. When a man whistled, Sesshomaru hand began to glow green with his poison, getting ready for his whip. He stopped when his Mate took his hands in her own, smiling up at him. So, Sesshomaru opted to send him one hell of a death glare, and purred in satisfaction when the male turned and switched to a different car.
The ride was short, and Sesshomaru was grateful when they stepped off. Rin and Shippo gripped their parent's hands and started to run towards the glowing tower. Souta laughed as he jogged steadily behind them. Maybe his mom shouldn't have given them so many cookies.
When they were on their way home, Kagome and Souta took them through a detour at the park. Shippo and Rin played Tag with Souta on the equipment for awhile, and Kagome and Sesshomaru sat on a bench beneath a tree watching them. By the time they returned home, Kagome and Sesshomaru were each holding a sleeping child, and Souta looked pretty worn out himself.
Mrs. Higurashi laughed. "I assume you had fun." Her eyes shined with tears, before she quickly took another picture. "You look like the perfect family!"
Kagome rolled her eyes. She and Sesshomaru followed Souta upstairs to his room, where a futon was pulled out for them. They placed the children down, and Kagome changed them into pajamas before saying goodnight to her brother and returning downstairs with her Mate.
"Hey Mom. Will you be awake in the morning so we can say goodbye?" She asked.
"Of course! I'm going to make a wonderful breakfast!" Kagome smiled at her mom. "And now that you can all come through the Well, I hope that you will be visiting often?"
Kagome opened her mouth to reply, but Sesshomaru beat her to it. "Of course." He said.
Kagome beamed at her Mate, giving him a hug, and then hugging her mother.
"Goodnight, mom." She said.
"Good night, darling. Good night, Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru nodded his head before taking Kagome in his arms and leading them upstairs. He nuzzled her neck the entire way, thoroughly enjoying the view of her chest. Kagome laughed quietly, wrapping her arms around her Mate as he carried her, closing the door with his foot and laying her on the bed. He then crawled over her, lowering his nose to her stomach, and inhaling deeply. He smiled slightly, before nuzzling her.
"Sesshomaru? What are you doing?" Kagome asked with a smile.
"Acknowledging it." He answered back.
"Acknowledging what?" Kagome asked, sitting up on her elbows.
"Our Pup, Kagome. My Kagome, you are with pup."
Kagome blinked, before she slowly let out a happy smile.
