Chapter 3: Dimitri

Kagome scowled as she looked at the letter in her hand as she walked back into the house. "Mom, she sent another one." She shouted throwing the letter on the kitchen table. Her mom, Kara, sighed and turned, wiping the water off of her hands as she did so. "Tatiana just doesn't know when to quit does she?" Kara asked opening the envelope. Kagome sighed and dropped into a chair. "She's the one who said we should be in hiding and now that the Strigoi are attacking she thinks we should come out of hiding? No thanks, I'll keep my thirteenth royal family status: ALIVE." She said running fingers through her hair.

"Well, it's not that in any case." Kara said handing the letter over to her daughter. "Oh? What is it?" Kagome asked skimming the letter. "Adrian's getting married…." She trailed off. "It seems so, and to Rose Hathaway. Now that is a surprise. Last I heard, Tatiana despised Rose and wanted Lissa with Adrian." Kara shrugged. Kagome stood up and walked to the door. "Sweetie, don't do anything out of anger. Tatiana knows how you both feel about each other." Kara called. Kagome rolled her eyes and dashed out the front door, making Kara sigh. 'Damn you, Tatiana.' She thought turning back to the dishes.

Kagome grumbled as she walked into the well house, the letter still clutched in her fist. 'I wish the well still worked.' She thought sitting on the steps and laying her head on her arms. Closing her eyes she thought back to the final battle a few weeks ago.

Inuyasha bared his teeth at Naraku, the evil half-demon that held the now completed Shikon Jewel in his clawed fingers. "Now that I have the whole jewel, I can make any wish that I want." He chuckled. Kagome narrowed her eyes and bit her lip, her Moroi fangs biting into the soft flesh of her bottom lip. Sesshoumaru snapped his head in her direction as the scent of her blood invaded his nose. "Sorry." She muttered softly so only he could hear.

Naraku eyed them from across the clearing with the well and smirked. "I know what I want. Jewel, I wish to be immortal and to also be what the miko Kagome is." He growled holding the jewel over his head. Kagome's eyes shot open and she lunged forward. "NO!" she shouted launching at the jewel as a bright light surrounded Naraku. He laughed and back handed her, causing her to crash into the well and fall into its depths. She looked up in time to watch him bit into Miroku's neck and drink the dark red liquid from the monk's body.

Kagome shook her head of the thoughts and stood up, the letter crumpling even more. "Well, if my life is going to become nothing but moping around, then I'm at least going to drink and have fun while doing it!" she exclaimed, shooting to her feet, before running out of the well house and into the night. "Damn." She muttered remembering that Strigoi could only go out at night. She glanced around quickly before taking off towards the house. She made it to the porch before something snaked around her waist.

She went to scream but felt two sharp pricks on her neck and she fell into a delirious state of joy. "Hello again, princess." Naraku said with a smirk before her gaze went fuzzy then dark.

Adrian awoke on a large, soft bed, his head heavy from being knocked unconscious. He closed his eyes and groaned as he stretched his stiff muscles.

"Hello Adrian."

Adrian snapped his eyes open and spotted Kagome sitting across from him in the furnished room. "Kagome? Where are we? Are you alright?" he asked quickly. "I'm fine, and you? I asked them not to harm you." she said unfolding her long legs from under her. Adrian watched as she stood and glided over to him. He scuttled back against the head board when he saw her light brown eyes rimmed in red. "Get away from me." He growled jumping off the opposite side of the bed.

"This is how you re-pay your dear friend, Adrian? I asked the others not to harm you and they heeded my wishes. Now you back away as if you never cared for me." Kagome asked, her face betraying no emotion. Adrian glanced at the door behind Kagome, and his eyes flickered to the window to the side of him. "There's no way you're getting out of this, that window is stronger than everything, not even an explosion could help you out of this room." Kagome said.

She stared at him a few more moments, her eyes seeming to soften, before turning on her heel and walking towards the door. "Adrian, let me ask you this, when we were together, did you even care for me at all?" she asked not turning around. "Of course I did, how could you even ask that?" he asked confused. She turned and he reeled back at her look of hatred. "How could I not? You and Hathaway? Good for you, you've always wanted her and now you have her. I'm so happy for you." she growled before wrenching the door open and slamming it behind her.

Rose stood with Lissa in front of the window Lissa's Pennsylvania home. "I'm sure he'll turn up." Lissa said placing a comforting hand on Rose's shoulder. "I've been so stupid, first Dimitri and now Adrian, how am I supposed to keep a relationship if something happens to all of the guys in my life?" Rose asked. Lissa gave her a pitying look in the window as Rose leaned against it. 'Adrian, I finally acknowledge my feelings for you and you disappear. Where the hell are you?' she asked.

Turning from the window, she threw a fake smile at Lissa just before a searing pain shot through her head and she fell to the ground. She vaguely heard Lissa calling her name as she glanced up and found herself in the same room she was in while being held in by Dimitri. "Rose, you have to help me." Adrian said behind her. "What happened?" she asked flinging herself to hug him. "I was out in France and the next thing I know I'm waking up here. I don't even know where 'here' is!" he exclaimed. "I know where you are, I promise, I'll have you out of there in no time!" she vowed. "As much as I would love that, there are Strigoi that won't hesitate to kill you." he said. Rose winked at him before pushing out of the hold he had her in.

"Rose! Rose, please wake up!" Lissa sobbed. Rose sat up, and stared at Lissa for a second before shooting to her feet. "I know where Adrian is, come on, we need to go and get someone first." Rose said before grabbing Lissa's hand and dragging her out of the room, her cell phone out in a flash.

Adrian sighed as he got out of his trance and slumped to the floor. 'That took way too much energy.' He thought rubbing his temples. "I didn't know you could do that while the person was still awake." Kagome said. Adrian glanced up at her and gave her one of his flamboyant smiles. "I didn't either. Come to sit with me?" he asked flirtatiously. Kagome shook her head and moved closer to him. "Adrian." She whispered running her fingers through his brown hair. He fought to keep the smile on his face at the gesture as she moved her face to his.

He closed his eyes, ready for her kiss before feeling her breath on his neck and the stinging, but blissful sensation of her drinking his blood. He moaned, his head falling to the side just as she pulled away and licked her lips. "Not even your Dhampir fiancée will be able to save you." she said stroking his cheek and leaving the room. Adrian groaned and managed to crawl over to the bed before passing out.

Dimitri looked up at Kagome as she entered the library. "Well?" he asked. "She's coming, like you said." She smirked. He gave her a smirk in return and nodded. "I thought you said you were going after her this time?" she asked. "That was to keep Roza on her guard, I'll have her come to me again." He said going back to looking for his book. Kagome smiled, her fangs glinting in the firelight.

Rose sat next to Robert Doru, Victor's half-brother on the flight to Russia. "How is he?" Lissa asked quietly, looking at the aged Moroi. "He keeps mumbling something and its weirding me out a little." Rose confessed. "We're about to land." Janine, Rose's mother, announced. Rose shifted in her seat anxiously.

As they exited a plane, Sydney, the alchemist Rose met a few weeks prior met them. "I know where they are, lucky for you I get to come with you." she said to Rose. Rose smirked and nodded to her father behind the alchemist. "You two just make sure you try and keep up." She teased.

Adrian woke up groggy and ran a hand over his face. Blinking a few times, he turned his head and noticed the door to his room was ajar. Shooting out of the bed, he wobbled as he made his way over to the door before it flew open. "Adrian, thank goodness you're safe. Are you alright?" Janine asked, surprised to see him up. He nodded as he swayed. "Come on, we're getting you out of here." she said bracing him against her and trudging forward.

Dimitri growled and gnashed his teeth at the people in front of him. "Enough, this will be over quickly."Robert grumbled at the two Strigoi tied up with silver and silver stakes above their hearts. Kagome struggled against her bonds, whimpering as the silver cut into her wrists. "Adrian!" Lissa shouted happily as he was steering into the room. She embraced him warmly, which he returned and they walked over to where Robert was restoring Kagome and Dimitri's souls.

He began saying something in another language that no one followed and both began to scream, thrashing violently against their bonds before slumping down. Robert finished what he was saying before shuffling over to them and moving the stakes. With surprising strength, he slapped them both, awakening them.

Kagome's eyes fluttered open and she struggled to lift her head. Accepting defeat, she let it fall against her chest and sighed. "Where am I? What happened? Naraku, where's Naraku?" she asked frantically, forcing her head up. "You mean the really ugly, greasy haired, Strigoi? He was the first one we killed." Rose said proudly. Abe walked over to them and freed them of their bonds. Kagome and Dimitri landed on their feet and rubbed their wrists.

Kagome inched her way over to where Adrian was holding onto Rose. "Adrian, I'm really-" "Kagome, yours and Dimitri's flight is waiting. You're going home and Dimitri is to be your guardian." Sydney stated loudly. Kagome blushed and felt Dimitri's strong hand on her back, guiding her out of the room and away from the prying eyes of the others. "Like sorry could fix what she did." They heard Rose say.

It had been months since the incident in Russia and Kagome had already begun the healing process. Now, she was living in the countryside of Japan, in a small house away from everyone's prying eyes. Feeling a snowflake on her face, she looked up at the sky before turning her black mare, Amaya* back towards the house. Amaya had been a gift from Dimitri when they had moved out to the house and she took to riding every day.

Kagome shifted in her side saddle, as the house came into view. "Good girl." Kagome said patting her neck as she dismounted and led her into the stable. After properly taking care of her, she trudged through the two foot deep snow and into the house. "Finished already?" he asked coming out of his training room. "Yeah, it's starting to snow. You know, if all you're going to do is train all day, maybe I should just put in for a new guardian." She teased taking her cloak off.

Dimitri gave her a look before going back into the room to turn off the light. "I really can't thank you enough for helping me through these last few months, you've been a great friend." She called kicking her shoes off. Turning around she 'eeped' when she came face to bear chest. He was looking at her again with an unreadable look before raising his hands to unwind her scarf from her neck. "You're welcome." He said.

Kagome blushed as his hand wound into her hair and tilted her head back. "I'm a great friend then?" he asked. Kagome gulped and nodded. "Yes, of course you are. You've been really great and so patient." She whispered, suddenly robbed of breath. "I see." He said as something flashed in his eyes and he backed up. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Kagome…. You're mother is here." he said before disappearing to get cleaned up.

Kagome smiled as she sat with her mother and brother, her grandfather dying a few months prior. "More coffee?" Dimitri asked standing. "Yes please, thank you." Kara smiled. "Sis, can I have some more cookies?" Souta asked excitedly. Kagome rolled her eyes and stood up, taking the plate with her.

"Are you okay? You've been quiet." Kagome asked her guardian as he poured more coffee. "I'm fine, I've just been thinking." He said walking with her into the other room. "We're going to go." Kara said as soon as they entered. Kagome gave her a quizzical look and but followed her and Souta to the door. "Hey guys, isn't that mistletoe?" Souta asked pointing to the ceiling. Kagome looked at her brother, who gave her an innocent smile. "You must honor tradition you too." Kara chastised. Kagome and Dimitri turned to each other, before he tipped her head back and kissed her passionately on the lips.

Neither of them noticed her family slip through the door as they continued to kiss, clothes being torn off as they made their way to her room.

Kagome rested her head on Dimitri's chest as he stroked her hair. "I love you." he said kissing the crown of her head. Kagome looked up at him, searching his face. "I love you too." She replied. He bent his head, claiming her lips again, as they made the most of their time in bed.

Outside, the paper boy made his way through the snow to deliver their special paper on everything vampire, and threw it on the doorstep. The picture looking up was one of Adrian and Rose on their wedding day, with the title 'Happiest Couple in the Royal Court.' Of course to the two people inside the house, there was no happier couple then them as they began their day together in bed.
