Chapter 6: Sesshoumaru's mate and the lost princess of the east

Tales of the future intrigued both the demon lords. They were both happy to have her back with her memory full returned to her. But Lord Sesshoumaru was mad at himself; in order to retrieve Kagome's sealed memory all he had to do was to touch her. He was angry at himself for not thinking of it but was mad at himself for allowing her to be put under the spell in the first place but He was glad she was here and nothing in this world would take her from him ever again. Not even the person who placed the spell upon his mate.

In that moment Inuyasha and that evil miko of his entered his mind, although he had no wishes for either of them to remain there. When she entered this world it was him she went to, he couldn't blamed her because it was the spell she was under that tricked her mind into thinking her mate was inuyasha but it still hurt his pride in that moment. His demon growled at the thought of his half-brother touching his mate. He could smell him on her and that enraged him. He was there when she emerged from the well and he was caught off guard by her. Although his memory of her is of her and him in their childish forms but it was still her. Her figure was far from childish. Her body was filled out in all the right places and he had yet to have any alone time with her, to hold her, to kiss her, to fill that body pressed against his. It was his right as mate to mark her with his scent so no male dared to touch her. He whimpered at the thought of his half breed brother was able to place his scent on her and he had yet to do so. (a/n would be priceless to see him jealous, he seems the possessive type) This did not go undetected by Kagome. She wanted her time with him also. Her father's stories would wait her mate needed her and she needed him.

She stood and her father questioned her with a raised brow

"Excuse me father but me and my mate to be have yet to have any time to talk. To get to know each other." Kagome's father understood what she meant and merely nodded and excused himself from their sitting area attached to their chambers.

"Very well daughter, have a well rest. I will have a servant escort you and sesshoumaru to the breakfast hall at dawn. This castle has undergone changes the last time you two were here." with that he left them alone as they wished to be.

Sesshoumaru the confident demon he was simply rose to go over to her where she was sitting with her father moments ago. He wished for nothing more than to place his scent on her. He reached for her and pulled her up. He placed his nose into her neck and growled.

"Kagome allow me to place my scent on you so inuyasha may never come near you."sesshoumaru merely stated as a answer more than a question to do so.

"Sesshoumaru, please do so. Inuyasha the traitor he is should never be able to make me as his but a friend he may be." Kagome stated and placed her neck further to the left to allow him to mark her.

He growled at her submission and at the fact she still wanted the half breed as her friend. He ran his fangs along her neck drawing alittle of her blood. He lick it up with his tongue and smirked as he took in her scent. The sweet smell of sakura blossoms and rasberries. Her scent drove his wild demon out of him. He agreed to mark her with his scent not to mate her so he had to yank on his demon's chain to not allow him to mark her yet.

Your time will come be patient. She has a mission to complete first, then she will become ours." He told his demon as he pulled away and took in the scents in the air. He growled happily to find kagome's scent mixed with his.

She looked into his golden amber eyes and couldn't find her way out of its spell. He drove her wild but didn't allow herself to be mated yet. She still had to confront inuyasha, find out about this narkau, find him and destroy him.

Sesshoumaru broke his spell on her and kissed her fiercely. After a couple of moments they broke the kiss but neither wanting to. He guided her over to her bed. They broke gazes and sesshoumaru left to the bathroom to change out of his everyday hamaka and into his night ones. When he emerged he found Kagome in a simple white Kimono laying on her bed facing the bathroom door waiting for him. He laid next to her, and draped his arm over her and drew his nose into her neck and took in her scent.

He growled at the smell of her, this calmed his beast and him. "Sleep miko, you will need your rest for your incounter with inuyasha tomorrow. I am certain he will arrive at the palace gates tomorrow afternoon." Sesshoumaru stated in a rather intrigued voice. He was looking forward to witnessing this event tomorrow afternoon.

Kagome shuttered at the thought of Inuyasha coming for her knowing she wasn't rightfully his. He couldn't take her she was scent marked and not that she would go with him anyway. She was happy he would show up to find her then she could actually confront him on his reasons. But she felt compelled to befriend him despite what he has done. She couldn't hate him or anyone for that fact but she knew inuyasha would be some use to her later in their fight with naraku.

"Sesshoumaru, when inuyasha comes tomorrow I want us to travel back with him to the village I came to when I emerged from the well. He has some ties to naraku, though he may not know it I think the spell I was under was his doing. I know it is a lot to ask but I know this is what I must do."Kagome stated as snuggled into his back waiting for his answer.

He growled at the thought of Inuyasha so close to Kagome. He took her from him once he wouldn't allow it again. But she was right she had to fight naraku that was her battle and naraku proably had a hand in the spell she was under. He would allow her this but not without him there. He couldn't risk her again. Not ever.

"Kagome, inuyasha took you from me though I trust your judgment with him but I can not. However you may be right that the half breed naraku was indeed involved. But I have one request that I will make no adjustments on. You may accompany inuyasha but at my side as well. He can not be alone with you. You are my mate and he may never come near you or touch you without my presence or permission which I will not give without life threatens circumstance's." Sesshoumaru helf onto her tightly.

"I understand and I wouldn't want it any other way. Inuyasha may be compelled to be a friend, but a friend he will stay. I have no desire for him. I desire to only protect him nothing more. You are my mate, my lover. Only you may touch me in such ways." Kagome blushed at thoughts of being touched by the demon lord, she shook her head to force out those bad thoughts and settled into sesshoumaru's arms and had the best night's sleep in ages.
