Do not own Inuyasha.
Subjucation
Edo was quiet the morning the pack returned. Kagome stared down on the village from a rising hill, the Bone-Eater's-Well behind her.
"The elder priestess approaches." Sesshomaru stated.
"Are you sure?" kagome asked.
"I can not get through as I am. If this will allow me to pass through to talk to your family then I will do this." he replied.
"I know, I just feel like I am shaming you." she said quietly.
"The shame would come from not even trying." he told her, running his knuckles along her cheek.
Lady Kaede arrived in the clearing a minute later, sliding from Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha had gotten a kick out of the situation, but held no ill-will to either party. Kagome deserved happiness, and Sesshomaru made her happy. Sesshomaru was an asshole, but he wasn't all bad. Kagome had opened him up considerably.
"Are ye ready?" Kaede asked.
"Yes." Sesshomaru replied.
"Kagome?" she questioned.
"Yes." she answered.
Lady Kaede nodded, then pulled a neckless out from the sleeve of her hoari. Her hands intertwined, index fingers and thumbs touching. The neckless rested between her index fingers and thumbs. She began to chant, both Inuyasha and Kagome recognizing the spell. Half a minute later the neckless flew apart, zipped over to Sesshomaru and reconnected around his neck. The beads glowed, waiting for the command word.
Kagome still standing next to him, wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Kiss me." she said, completing the spell.
Sesshomaru, instead of hitting the dirt like Inuyasha, felt compelled to kiss her, which he had no issue complying with, and did just that.
"What the hell!?" Inuyasha screamed.
"I changed the effect." Kaede replied.
"I get knocked to the ground, which hurts like hell, and he gets to suck face. That is so not fair."
"Well I didn't really have time to think about yours, just the first thing that came to mind. You were chasing me." Kagome stated when she and Sesshomaru parted.
"Can we change mine then?" Inuyasha asked.
"I thought you wanted me to take them off?" Kagome questioned.
"Nay. I'm use to them now, plus if I lose it, there needs to be a way to bring me back. So can we?" he inquired.
"I will have to construct a new set. The ones ye wear are bound to that word and subsequent action. I will just need time to complete a different one." Kaede explained.
"Do you still want me to hold the command?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah, I mean you know me better than anyone, and I trust you." Inuyasha replied.
Kagome released Sesshomaru, stepped over to Inuyasha and embraced him.
"You will always be my best friend." she told him.
"And I'll be your big brother soon." he said smiling.
Kagome giggled and let him go. She stepped back to Sesshoumau, wrapped her arms back around his neck.
"Do you think I could hold his leash?" Sesshomaru questioned with a smirk.
"Oh Hell No!" Inuyasha yelled.
