Kagome awoke with a relaxed stretch and yawn. Now that she had made her decision she didn't have to worry about what she was going to do. She dawned fresh clothes after a bath and decided it was time to head to Sesshomaru's office and inform him of her decision. After getting lost at least 3 times she finally found the double doors that she had been in yesterday. She knocked on the door. "Enter." As she stepped in she bowed, when he finally told her to rise she sat on the pillows across from his desk and spoke, "Sesshomaru-sama, I have come to a decision, I wish to become your mistress, however, I wash oping you wouldn't mind clearing up a couple of questions I have?" He nodded for her to continue.

Kagome reached in her pocket and pulled out, what looked to Sesshomaru to be an odd piece of writing parchment and read off the list. "Will i be passed around as a party favor to your guests?" He looked at her with his trademark raised eyebrow and said, "Miko, hear me, for I will not repeat myself. This one, does not share anything that belongs to him. Ever. Is this understood." she twitched at that phrase, "belong to me."she knew however that dogs were very territorial so she would have to get used to such talk. "Will i still retain my freedom, to roam the castle grounds at my wish, as well as the neighboring villages?" He nodded, "Yes, Miko, you may roam the castle at will, however you will have an escort when you leave this castle, over your choosing if you wish." Kagome nodded.

Being human, and a Miko was dangerous enough, but being Lord Sesshomaru's mistress would double that. "Can I bring shippo with me, he's like a son to me, and I don't think i could function without him here with me. He nodded, " I will have someone send for him, seeing as you will not be returning to my idiotic brother and his band off human imbeciles." Her eye twitched, that was the last straw. "Hey! Those are my Human friends your talking about!" he nodded, "you are correct Miko." He face turned beat red, flushed with anger, "Why you-" Kagome's words were cut off and warm, soft lips slanted over hers, she was pushed back on the pillows, and her shirt was lifted. she gasped as he dipped his tongue in and out of her mouth. he sucked and nibbled her bottom lip as he explored her soft flesh with his hands. rubbing up and down her sides.

Kagome moaned softly as she felt his thumb graze her nipples. He smirked as he whispered, "Miko, it is time for you to become my mistress." She nodded and said, "Do you have a contract?" He nipped her ear as he whispered, " I do, and I will sign here," he licked the juncture of her neck and shoulder, "here," He nibble on her chest, "and here" he finally licked her breast through her shirt. Kagome cried out as her body warmed at his attentions. He sucked and licked and tugged her nipple until it pebbled and then softened. Then as quick as it started he was back at his desk, flipping through papers, " Tonight, Miko, you will accompany me to my room, and please bring whatever items you will need out of yours, because when I'm finished, I doubt you'll be able to stand, let alone walk and retrieve them. Understood." She nodded and hurried out of the room. 'Dammit, Now I know I'm gonna have to take a cold shower, and I doubt it'll help much. The asshole.' she grumbled as she slammed her room door.

Meanwhile...

Inuyasha still laid on the cold forest floor, completely healed but ashamed to move. 'I can't believe I didn't think before I took advantage of her like that.' he thought as he finally sat up. He couldn't continue to lay there smelling of blood,sex, and Kagome. He headed for a nearby hot springs when he felt an aura that was all too familiar. Kouga. 'That mangy ass wolf thinks Kagome's with me, I can't wait to tell him she's not, the chummy little fucker.' he thought angrily. Kouga arrive and growled, his eyes bloodshot red. "So it was true.

The monk and Taijiya weren't exaggerating when they told me you touched Kagome, and had already mated another. You piece of shit!" Before Inuyasha had a chance to dodge, Kouga's clawed fist was in his face, scraping off layers of skin as it went. Inuyasha didn't try to block it. He felt he deserved it. He had done a dishonorable thing, to caught up in the heat of the moment, and not only did he lie, hurt, and betray his best friends, but he hurt his mate with his treachery as well. Kouga scraped his face until it was nothing but sagging skin and blood oozing from his face. He laid there on the ground, in agonizing pain before kouga came forward with a bottle of what looked to be what Kagome had.

Something called 'Alcohol?' Kouga smirked menacingly as he said, "You sorry motherfucker, I wanna let you know something, the only reason you live is because I know Kagome would be hurt if we killed you because of what you did to her. But Know this, if you ever come near her again, if you ever even look like your thinking about her, if you ever even hope to see her, I will come for you, and you'll be dead." with that said kouga poured the entire bottle of alcohol on Inuyasha's face watching as the acidic liquid absorbed into his skin; Inuyasha could help but cry out. "Don't forget my words, Hanyou." He whispered on the wind as he walked away. Inuyasha just lay there. Dark oblivion had already taken him.

Meanwhile...

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were in Kaede's village, awaiting Kagome's return, when they heard the loud horns of royal decrees coming through the village.

Out of curiosity, all three stood in the doorway listening to the messenger as he spoke, "By royal decree from our Lord Sesshomaru, I wish to bring The ones known as Shippo, Miroku, and Sango to the royal palace for our lady mistress, Kagome, Priestess of the Shikon no Tama, and Sole defeater of the Evil Hanyou, Naraku. Would that these people come forward. Also, We invite all to come to the royal gathering at the palace to the coronation of Lady mistress Kagome, Priestess of the Shikon no Tama, and defeater of the Evil Hanyou, Naraku to that of a higher Stature, Our Lord Shall announce it as such. Good day to you all."

With that said, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo, stepped up saying, "We are the three people you look for." The messenger nodded and replied, "Follow me, we were given strict instructions to take all your belongings as well if you have any." Miroku raised his staff, Sango held up her boomerang, and Shippo pulled out his box of tricks. The messenger nodded and said, "if You do not have transportation, you will ride Ah Un, If you do, Please by all means, follow us.

With that said, they all started on they're journey, wondering why Kagome needed a coronation, and why wasn't she in the future? and Why the hell is she with Sesshomaru?
