A/N: and here's the fifth chapter Yay!!! it took longer then I thought it would but it's also a bit longer then the other ones so... Thanks for all the reviews I really appreciated them. And I own Inuyasha, you know in my own little fantasy alternate universe, but in this one I don't own Inuyasha which sucks but anyway ... on with the story!

Kagome stood in the center of the grande ballroom where the mating ceremony was to take place, giving orders and directions to the servents on how to decorate it, what goes where, how the chairs were to be positioned, etc.

Sesshomaru stood at the entrance to the ballroom, watching his mate-to-be making preperations for the ceremony. He waited a few minutes before hiding his scent and aura and walking up behind her, snaking his arms around her waist and nuzzling her neck.

Kagome let out a gasp and tensed slightly before realizing it was just Sesshomaru. She relaxed in his arms and leaned her head back against his chest.

"You must never let your guard down, my love." Sesshomaru whispered, into her ear before bending slightly and nipping at the junction where her shoulder meets her neck.

Kagome gave an involuntary shudder, before turning around in Sesshomaru's arms to face him. Kagome gave him a slight peck on the lips before replying.

"I'm sorry, I'm just stressing on getting everything ready in time. Besides you cheated."

"This Sesshomaru, does not cheat." Sesshomaru said, with his head held high and his usual stotic expression upon his face.

"Oh no?" Kagome asked, a sly grin tugging at the corners of her mouth.

"No." Sesshomaru replied, flatly.

"Then why is your aura and scent hidden hmm?" Kagome asked with a slight rise of her eyebrow.

Sesshomaru's eyes widened slightly, before he replied in his usual bored tone.

"That, my love, is not cheating but rather using my abilities to my advantage."

Placing his thumb on her chin and hooking his finger under her chin, pulling her into a deep, passionate kiss

Pullinf apart to breathe, Kagome decided to give a quick reply to his comment, before resuming their kiss.

"I still call that cheating."

Sesshomaru shrugged his shoulders slightly as a reply, before running his tongue along her bottom lip asking for entrance.

Kagome granted permission by parting her lips slightly letting his tongue explore the moist caverns of her mouth. Kagome ran tongue along his sharp fangs before engaging in a fight of domence with their tongues. But it was short lived, as the annoyingly high pitched voice of the green imp, Jaken was heard entering the ballroom.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru!"

Sesshomaru let out a low growl of irritation, while Kagome answered.

"What is it, Jaken?"

"Quiet wench! You are to speak only when spoken too, I cannot see why Sesshomaru-sama choose such a disgustingly vile, low class demon such as you to become his mate. Lord Sesshomaru deserves..." Jaken was cut short of his ramblings as a resounding thud was heard throughout the ballroom as Sesshomaru's foot made contact with Jaken's head, sending Jaken flying across the ballroom into a wall.

"Kagome will be treated with the respect she deserves as the future Lady of the Western Lands. She is also a greater demon then you will ever be, for she is Tai-Youkai, just like this Sesshomaru, as well as being on the verge of becoming Dai-Youkai. If anyone decides not to show her the respect she deserves, their live will be forfeit." Sesshomaru said, in a quiet yet deadly tone.

"Ye-Yes, Lord Sesshomaru, I meant no disrespect Milord. Please forgive me Milord, I am your humblest servant. I only wish to please you Milord. Forgive me..." Jaken was once again cut short of his ramblings, by Kagome's foot stepping on his head squishing him as her and Sesshomaru left the grande ballroom, hand-in-hand.

Once they were out of the ballroom, Kagome enveloped him in a gut busting hug.

"Thank you, so very much!"

"For what?" Sesshomaru asked, arching his brow in a quizitive curve.

"For standing up for me!"

"That is my duty as your mate-to-be."

"Aww... is that all that was? Your duty?" Kagome asked, a delicate pout forming on her lips.

"That, and my love for you, My dearest Kagome." With that Sesshomaru pulled her into another passionate kiss.

Letting out a slight moan of pleasure Kagome pulled away, placing her hand upon his cheek, and gently tracing the demon marks on his cheek with her thumb.

"You, my darling Sesshomaru, may have and appearence of regalty and stature, and you may seem to have a heart of Ice but deep down your just as soft as the fur of a new born puppy."

"This Sesshomaru is not soft."

"Oh well, if you say so, but your fluff thing is ohhh sooo soft." Kagome said, with a squeal as she grabbed hold of Sesshomaru's fluffy fur boa, and snuggled into it, giving purrs of delight.

Sesshomaru chuckled, and patted her head like one would with a dog, before replying.

"Kagonme, you appear to be purring, and last time I checked I'm sure that was for nekos not inus."

Kagome pulled away, a crease in her forehead, and her eyebrows arched to meet as a frown, before her eyes widened, and shimmered with playfulness and mischief. She looked Sesshomaru the eyes and a sly grin slowly creeping onto her face.

"Oh Sesshy, my darling puppy..."
