A/N: Okay, so before you kill me, I want to say I'm sorry for not updating in eight monthes. The chapter was done five monthes ago but I forgot to update before I went to camp. And while I was at camp I completely forgot about it. However I found the book I write all my chapters in, and noticed this one was done so ta-da! I've started on the next chapter and I will try to get that done in the next couple weeks, as well I'll try and update my other stories as well. So again I am really sorry for not updating for so long, and here's the chapter. I hope you enjoy it... ^_^

Disclaimer: I do not own either the manga or anime Inuyasha or any of it's characters.

Kagome looked over towards the entrance of the garden. In which the Inu-tachi stood; A look of shook upon her face, had a very short lived existence as it was quickly replaced with a gleeful grin.

"Your here! I was starting to wonder if you'd ever show up!" Kagome stated, as she ran to give them each a hug.

Sesshoumaru chuckled at his mate-to-be's antics, causing the entire Inu-tachi to anime drop from shock, and Kagome to turn swiftly on her heels. Her grin quickly replaced with a scowl as she walked up to Sesshoumaru, poking him in the chest.

"You! I'm not done with you yet! Don't think you can pull a stunt like that, and be able to get away with it! I don't care if your Lord of the West or not, your still not getting away with it!" Kagome shouted, all the while repeatedly poking Sesshoumaru in the chest.

Sesshoumaru smirked, as he grabbed her hand that was poking him in the chest, and pulled her into an earth shattering kiss. Sesshoumaru smirked as they broke apart and he leaned forward, brushing his lips against her earlobe as he whispered, "It would appear Love, that I can get away with it and much more."

Before Kagome could reply, Sesshoumaru was again standing straight, with his stoic mask in place as he spoke with calm, monotone voice, this time directed at the Inu-tachi.

"Inuyasha I believe you already know where your room is located, it's been left exactly as you left it. As for the rest of you, I'm sure the future Lady of the West will be glad to show you, your sleeping quarters." And with that Sesshoumaru left, leaving a rather peeved Kagome and confused Inu-tachi behind.

"Damn it Seshoumaru, Your as bad as the monk!" Kagome shouted, at Sesshoumaru's retreating back, before spinning on her heels to look at her group of friends. Each of whom, sported a look of confusion.

"Uhhh.... Kagome? Might I ask how Sesshoumar is like the hentai?" asked Sango, ignoring Miroku's antics of feigned hurt at her words.

"That's just it Sango, Hentai! They're both perverts!" Kagome replied, a slight tinge of pink staining her cheeks.

"Keh, Your imaging things wench! That bloody Icicle can't be perverted, he's too fricking cold-hearted." Inuyasha grumbled, as he crossed his arms, and scowled in his usual manner.

"I wouldn't be so sure on that, Inuyasha we all heard him chuckle, and we saw him smirking, not to mention that he kissed Kagome in front of all of us. He just might not be as cold-hearted as we thought he was." Miroku said, in his usual calm voice.

"Of course he's not cold-hearted! Not showing emotion is a battle tactic, and the only time you've seen him is in battle, so doie! Of course he's not going to be showing emotion! Geez, just becasue Inuyasha runs into battle waving his sword like an idiot, wearing his emotions on his sleeve doesn't mean his brother's going to!" Kagome shouted, quickly jumping to the defence of her mate-to-be.

"Oi! Wench, what are you trying to say..." but Inuyasha was cut short of his ramblings, when a very angry Kahome shot him a death glare that could freeze hell.

"SIT!" Screamed Kagome, as the beads of subjucation around Inuyasha's neck glowed, and he was sent towards the ground at break neck speed creating a Inu-shaped hole in the ground.

"Kagome must really love Lord Fluffy, if she gets so angry over so little." Shippo whispered into Miroku's ear, from his perch on Miroku's shoulder. Unfortunately he forgot about Kagome's demon hearing.

"Damn right I love Fluffy!........ uhhh, hehe right how about I show you guys to your rooms?"

Miroku, Sango and Shippo nodded their heads meekly, as they followed Kagome into the palace. Leaving Inuyasha in his sit-made hole. Kagome lead the others through the winding hallways of the palace, in silence.

Sango took in every detail possible so she'd know how to get around on her own, or at least be able to find her room.

Miroku kept his eyes on Sango's rear, trying to decide if taking the chance of a nice little grope would be worth the beating he'd recieve from Sango afterwards. It didn't take long for him to make a decision though, this is Miroku, and he figures that every grope is worth it no matter how painful the beating. And the beating he recieved from Sango was quite painful indeed.

"Idiot." Shippo muttered, shaking his head at the now unconcious form of Miroku; Kirara mewed her agreement from her perch on the still fuming Sango's shoulder.

Kagome peered over her shoulder, letting out a small chuckle at her friends same old antics; However she continued down the corridor. It didn't take long for Shippo, Kirara, and Sango, who was dragging an unconcious Miroku behind her, to catch up.

"Your rooms are in the East wing here. Sango, you and Kirara get the room on the last door on the right. Miroku is in the room across from yours, the last door on the left. You both have a few clothes in the wardrobes, Sango you also have a couple extra training outfits; Where as Miroku has a couple extra Monk robes. As well, the royal tailor will be coming around to fit both of you for kimono's for the ceremony. Shippo, your room is in the West wing along with Sesshoumaru's, Rin's and my own. Come, I will show you." With that Kagome left Sango and Miroku to go about exploring their rooms, and Miroku's case, waking up and then exploring his room.

Shippo followed after Kagome, through the different hallways, towards the West wing.

"Mama? Why is my room in the West wing and not in the East wing with Miroku and Sango?" Shippo asked, not noticing that he had called her Mama, instead of Kagome.

Kagome stopped in mid-stride and turned in her heels and crouched in front of Shippo. Stopping him mid-stride by placing her hands on his shoulders and looking into his bright emerald eyes, as they twinkled with curiousity.

"Shippo, what did you just call me a moment ago?"

"Ummm.......... Mama?"

"Exactly!!! I'm your Mother, and you are my son. And soon Rin will be your sister, and Sesshoumaru will be your Father. That's why your in the West wing, so you can be with your family. The West wing is reserved only for the Royal family and you Shippo are a part of the Royal Family. You'll be living with us from now on okay?"

"Really?! Yay!!! Let's go Mama, I want to see my new room! What colour is it? Is there lots of toys in it? Is it close to yours?" Shipo asked excitedly, as he pulled on Kagome's hand.

Kagome simply chuckled as she let her son pull her down the winding hallways. Only interrupting his excited rant to instruct him on where to go to get to the Western wing.

A/N: Okay so there it is, Chapter eight! I hope you enjoyed it, and I promise to get the next chapter up and going as soon as I get it finished, which hopefully will be soon. Again sorry for the extremely late update. Bye. ^_^
