Kagome smirked at this guard. Inutaisho said, "Remember the rules. Let the fight begin."

Inutaisho secretly smiled. He knew Sesshomaru would win. Sesshomaru and Kagome both pulled out their weapons. Kagome took a defensive stance and waited for Sesshomaru to attack. She didn't have long to wait.

After about ten minutes of them just standing there Sesshomaru couldn't take it anymore. He charged at Kagome. When he got close to Kagome she dodged and turned to Sesshomaru with a smirk on her face. Sesshomaru's eyes bleed red, and he growled. This woman will not escape us.

Sesshomaru threw his sword down as his nails turned into claws and his fangs grew. He charged at Kagome. Kagome had not expected Sesshomaru to let his beast take over so she was surprised. Kagome snapped out of her surprised just as Sesshomaru pushed her to the ground and growled for her to submit to him. Kagome tried to get up, but Sesshomaru just pushed on her harder.

Kagome sighed because she knew she was beaten. She turned her head in submission. Sesshomaru smirked behind the face armor and stood up. He then helped Kagome to stand up. Kagome and Sesshomaru faced each other. Kagome said, "Remove your face armor so that I may see the face of my mate."

Sesshomaru smirked because he knew she would be surprised it was him. He unmasked his aura and scent as he let the face armor fall to the ground. Everyone gasped in surprise except the royal family. Sesshomaru could see that Kagome was having a battle with her emotions. He asked, "What is it, Kagome?"

Kagome said, "I feel so many things. I am angry because you could have been hurt. I am happy because it is you. I am excited because I finally have a mate."

Sesshomaru smiled sweetly at Kagome. Suddenly a healer came running up to them. The healer said, "Lady Kagome, Ryan is awake, and he is asking for you."

Jacob heard this and smiled happily. I am glad I didn't kill him. Jacob followed Kagome, Sesshomaru and the rest of the royal family to the healing chambers. Ryan was sitting up in the bed when he heard the door open. He looked up and saw Kagome come in with the royal family and a demon he did not know.

Before any one could say or do anything Jacob went to Ryan and bowed. He said, "Ryan, I am the demon who shot at you. I give you my life to do with as you please."

Everyone gasped in surprise except Kagome. Kagome walked over to Jacob and put her hand on his shoulder. She said, "Get up. I did not raise you to bow to anyone except the royal family."

Jacob looked up at her and said, "It has to be this way, mother. I cannot take this guilt I feel. I almost cost the life of one of your children."

Kagome smiled and said, "Stand up please and listen to Ryan."

Jacob stood up but kept his head down in shame. Ryan looked intently at Jacob. He couldn't really see his face. He suddenly got an idea. Ryan said, "Your punishment is to serve me until the end of time."

Jacob said, "As you wish, master."

Kagome sighed. She hated seeing one of her children being a servant, but she knew it must be done in order for Jacob to live with himself. Kagome looked at Ryan and asked, "Can I talk to him in the hall?"

Ryan said, "Of course, mother. He is still one of your children no matter what."

Kagome and Jacob went into the hall. Kagome put up a barrier so no one would hear what she and Jacob were talking about. Kagome looked at Jacob and said, "I know there is another reason you feel guilty besides him being one of my children."
