Chapter 11

I have two apologies to make: First that the chapter is so short. I hit a wall but I knew some people were anxious for an update so I did what I could. Second I know his mother was not psychic (well as far as I know) but I had to do it to help the story go along with my next idea.

Sesshomaru followed behind Jamila, trying to keep up the anger that had been boiling over a moment ago and found himself feeling only confusion. "Jamila…"

She glared over his shoulder and shoved open her bedroom door and waited for him to go inside. Silently he stalked past her and she slammed the door. "Sesshomaru, let me make one thing clear to you." She said and stood close to him glaring up at him. "I am here to be your mate, not just a woman in your house." She could feel the strength of his presence this close and she tingled at the call of him. "We are to be mated and if you do not start with your courting, I will take things into my own hands." She grabbed him by the back of the neck and pressed her lips hard against his.

He resisted only momentarily then wrapped his arm tight around her back lifting her firmly into him. He kissed her back with a passion that made the cat in her purr. She stepped back and his eyes flashed red as he looked at her and she felt hers flash in response, "Are you finally ready?" She asked huskily. He growled his agreement and grabbed her top and pulled it over her head. She eagerly began to undress him as he pushed at the waist of her pants. Soon they were naked and she took a moment to study him. He was pure masculine beauty; hard muscles and sharp lines beneath satin skin and silky hair.

Sesshomaru studied Jamila as she stared at him and felt a kick in his gut at her dark beautiful skin and hair. Perfect curves beneath the perfect face made her a sight to behold and he reached out with a soft hand and trailed his claws down her side. He growled and pulled her against him her skin burning silkily against his. "Mate."

She growled in return and dug her claws into his back and pulled him down onto the bed. "Mate." She agreed.

The next morning Sesshomaru sat up suddenly and put his hand to his head digging his claws into his hair trying to still the pounding. He couldn't remember much of last night except that Jamila had smelled so appealing and angry. He looked down to the bed beside him and was surprised to see the soft skin of Jamila as she lay curled against him. On her shoulder was the mark of his mating, a small mark in the shape of the crescent moon. He touched it gently and a tingle ran up his arm. Jamila turned over and rested her head against his side in reaction to his touch.

For a moment he couldn't move, he couldn't figure out what exactly it was that had happened. He pulled away from her and walked to the window to gaze out. The sun was over the horizon but only by an hour or so. Yesterday…it must have been yesterday, Kagura had come with hundreds of demons and Hakudosei and Jamila had caused him to flee.

Jamila sat up a moment later and her eyes met Sesshomaru's. "Stop questioning it Sesshomaru." She remarked standing and tugging her clothing on.

Sesshomarus eyes narrowed on her. "What?"

"You…your questioning how it ended up the way it did. Stop. It is our fate Sesshomaru." She said and leaned toward him pressing her lips to his. "Is it that bad?" Sesshomaru said nothing as she left and she smiled slightly to herself. Energy was flowing through her, hot and ready to be used. She whistled and Fatima charged out of the stable and to her side. "Want to go for a run?"

Fatima neighed and reared tossing her beautiful head and Jamila laughed and pulled herself onto Fatimas back and they darted out of the yard and into the skies.

Sesshomaru stared out his window and watched as Jamila went off. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen; something bad. His mother had been slightly psychic and he knew that it was possible for him to get flashes but he refused to give into the feeling. He turned from the window and missed the flash of white in the trees outside.

If any one read Dawn in Feudal Japan, you know I like torture scenes and one is coming. So be prepared.

They are mated but Sesshomaru is not exactly happy to discover his mate can control him and possibly even defeat him. What is he going to do?
