chapter 26: father knows best... still?

Kagome swam into her room and laid back on her bed as she glanced out the window. Then she heard the door close and looked towards it. She gasped, standing before her was a very angry, no not angry, damn it she couldn't read the expressions that fleeted across his suddenly very expressive face. At least until he ended up on one that she knew well enough, love with a bit of lust. His gaze traveled up to her face and he spoke one word.

"Change." his voice was deep with his need of her. She hadnt even realized that she had changed as he asked her too. Her tail became legs and she looked upon him with her big azure eyes.

"you don't even have a clue?" spoke Sesshomaru.

"What?"

"What you do to me my little Utako." spoke Sesshomaru again as he advanced towards her, looking over her body. She blushed, he vanished to reappear right in front of him.

"you do then?"

"Im not sure wha-?"

"Lies do not flatter you."

"i have an idea."

"well then you must know that you can not leave me this way." it wasn't a question. Suddenly he let loose a pulse of his youkai which traveled through the room, like a wave rippling over the ocean surface, and once it had completely passed through the room the water began to swirl and recede.

"How?" gasped a curious and confused Kagome. His lips graced hers as a spark rushed down both of their spines, that familiar spark blooming in both of them. "hn, it was easy enough for one such as me." mumbled Sesshomaru as he pulled away, this women could take his breathe away. "your song has a certain energy pattern that I was able to imitate, this time, it was a simple pattern or pulse that you used." Kagome took the opportunity to wreak some havoc, she began to leave a trail of kisses down her inu's chest, leaving a trail of heat at every spot she touched. He groaned happily as he pulled her up and kissed her lips again. Her nails raked lightly across his back as his mouth descended down upon her neck suckling and nibbling every spot his greedy cavern could reach. Her head lolled back baring her neck for his hungry eyes to see, a soft moan leaving her lips. She received a hungry growl that rumbled through her whole body making her toes curl, in response.

His beast was rising at the call of her blood, her heat had ended while she was gone thankfully enough, or he would have ravished her, not that he would regret it. He has waited so long already, but now was not the time. He nipped her throat as he tried to reign his self back in. she ground her body up against his, taking his breath away as her heat came in contact with his hardened length. His gasp and the stiffening of his body was all she needed to flip him over and straddle him. His back hit the bed, his hips thrusting up to meet hers as she ground into him. She placed delicate hands on both sides of his head as she stared into his burning eyes; watching, mesmerized as gold was swallowed up by swirling red. His hand moved up a thigh and over her firm ass to her hip. He then grabbed the hip and pressed her down firmly as he thrust up against her, moaning as his eyes rolled back, just to reopen and stare into hers.

She loved this demon, she wanted him and she wanted to be claimed by him. Here, grinding against him, knowing he wanted her yet fighting the urge to take her because he wanted to show he actually loved her for her, and not her body . It was endearing, and sweet so what she said next didn't surprise her, for it was true.

"Yours"

something snapped in him then as he flipped her on her back and placed his self between her thighs, red completely filled his eyes except for her pupils. "Mine." he softly growled as he began to kiss her with fervor.

Mine. Ours. Our mate is ready. Lets take her.

'No, not yet.'

Then we mark her?

'Yes we can mark her, show the world she belongs to us and us alone.'

Her hips rocked against him as he suckled on the spot on her neck where he would lay his mark. His cock heavy with his need pressed against her heat as they ground into each other. She could feel the pressure in her body building in intensity, until she felt as if she would explode. She was so close to what ever it was that her body so desperately wanted to reach.

"ah, Inu I...!" she panted as she called him. Her scent was intoxicating, she was close, he could feel it in his very bones. Her scent alone was enough to drive him over the edge, but he would have no such thing, he was a proud Inuyokai, and a Dai after all. However, he would take pleasure in watching her first climax. He nipped her ear, followed by a long slow lick to its shell, not once stopping—or speeding up—the agonizing friction they created with their hips. And when she bucked widely against him, pulling a hiss from his lips, a firm hand holding her hips still was all that was needed to stop her from forcefully making him change his mind about leaving her virginity for another day. 'just a little more.' his fangs elongating as his hips ground harder and harder, almost painfully so. Her grip on his shoulders tightened as his fingers locked in place and he pushed against him, hard. Her eyes slammed shut, as her body stiffened, her legs locking around his hips pulling him firmly against her as she called out his name in a, barely there, whisper, a love song, meant for him and only him to hear. He watched her writhe and grind against him as his fangs sunk into the juncture of her neck. The taste of her sweet blood washed down his throat like water to a dehydrated man in a desert, as he drank, greedily, from her neck. His growl reverberating through her as he came. He then pulled his fang from her neck and licked the puncture marks until they sealed, leaving only a crescent moon.

He rolled over as he pulled his new mate to him, she cracked open one eye and gazed up at him. He looked down at her where she lay upon his chest.

"Hn?"

"Did we just...?" she trailed off blushing furiously, burring her face back in his chest. Her eyes shot open wide, not realizing she had closed them, as she felt a rumbling through his chest and heard what she could only think was laughter. She looked up at him and was shocked to see his face split with a grin so bright it could rival the sun, and win. He was laughing... at her! She blushed harder, her face imitating that of a tomato.

"No, we didn't, my little mate." he chuckled, he soon sobered as he pulled her closer to nuzzle his mark. Once his face made contact with the mark on her shoulder it sent a slow sensual shiver straight down her spine. He growled softly as he scented and felt her arousal through the mark. "but soon, I shall show you what it is like to be with me..." he kissed her mark as he ground his awakening arousal against her thigh and his thigh against her heated core. "... in that manner." he whispered in her ear as he licked the shell. He sighed as he pulled away from her. Another two pulses from his youkai and he had cleaned both him and her of their earlier activities, as well as, returning the water back to the room. Upon contact with the water Kagome allowed her tail to return and firmly kissed her inu soundly on the mouth as he came to lay back down next to her. The would face the next day together, but this time as one, linked by blood.

The next day came swiftly and the two star crossed lovers were up and moving downstairs when they met none other then Hirohito sitting down stairs in a chair in front of them.

"father." called Kagome in a stiff greeting.

He sighed, he had to make things right, all he wanted was hi daughters love and now he had managed to loose even that. Kagome stiffened her back, she loved her father dearly, but even she would not budge on a matter as important as this, a matter of the heart.

"Kagome, my Utako, I must apologize, please I understand that I rightly deserve your scorn, however, even I can be wrong." he looked over towards the large demon standing next to his daughter and watched as said demons hand rubbed what he assumed to be soothing circles along his daughters back. He sighed again. "i have misjudged your inuyoukai, he is a great man, I see that, for if he truly didn't care for you he would have never left to find you, let alone return with you in his arms. And you obviously care deeply for him as well. I know that now. And even though you may no longer want it, I shall give it any way." said Hirohito with his head held high, shoulders back and chest puffed out a bit. "i give you my blessing to take my daughters hand, and after this threat to her life has vanished, I wish to marry the two of you in the way of our people, but for now I trust you to take good care of her and bring her home safely."

Sesshomaru looked to the king of the sea and felt he owed him some kind of answer. "i shall." he then looked back down to Kagome to see her eyes all puffy and bigger then normal. She smiled as she glanced up at him and pulled his hair, again, for a sweet kiss, that even though it lasted only a split second, it managed to steal his breath away. When she pulled away he growled, softly, lustily, and reached to grab her, but she had moved out of his reach and flown into her fathers surprised arms as she hugged him senseless. Sesshomaru straightened his back and took a deep discrete breath to compose himself and then looked to Hirohito who slowly smiled and hugged his daughter back. He then waved his hand and Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he felt the water around him move pulling him like the strongest riptide that forms right before a tsunami wave crashes to shore. He then found himself included in the familial embrace, with both Hirohito and Kagome's arms wrapped around him. Then suddenly the moment was killed when Hirohito pushed them from him and out of the door quickly saying "Well, now that is done with you two have to go and get rid of that which wants my daughter dead, I shall stay and prepare my armies, you have all of the power the sea contains at your disposal and with just a blow of this whistle we shall come to your aid. Use it only when you have found that piece of vermin, and make sure all that fight on our side wears some sort of blue and white around their waist and left leg, so we know they are allies. Its even better if its all the same pattern." he quickly summed up as he threw a whistle with a chain attached to it at Sesshomaru before closing the doors with a resounding slam.

They had literally just been kicked out. The to looked at each other and Kagome began to laugh as Sesshomaru's left eyebrow rose into his bangs.

"My father has always hated good byes." she giggled. Sesshomaru shook his head as he looked at the whistle in his hand, it was shaped like a tear and was blue with a large wave devouring a shoreline etched into it. He placed it around his neck next to his other necklace and grabbed Kagome's open hand as she smiled up at him. They began to swim to the shore Kagome leading the way.

Now they were ready to face the hanyou together. But he couldn't help the sense of foreboding that overcame him, and he could feel the same trepidation radiate from Kagome as well.

Laying against the door Hirohito sighed, how he hated good byes. A small sliver a bubble of air and water came from his eye as he sighed, he would wish his daughter the best of luck in the trials she was soon to face and he could only hope that she was right to leave her faith in that inuyoukai lord.

"Are they gone love?"

"Yes my queen, they just left, is Sota up yet?"

"No, not yet."

he chuckled "he will be upset to know they left without him getting to play with them yet."

she giggled "Yes, he will, but he will be fine, he shall see them soon, now what are you avoiding?"

"I feel they shall face trouble once they reach the shore." he sighed.

"Yes, I have that feeling as well, but we can only hope you have done the right thing in letting them leave the safety of our barrier so soon."

he sighed again, his wife had basically just said what ever happens to them is your fault. "Well, I guess so."

"Yes, now its left up to our prayers and the kami to decide their fate now."

"Indeed."

"Mom! Can I play with Kag's now!" called souta from his room.

"I guess I should go deal with that then." "Coming, Souta!" called Queen Mika as he swam to her sons bedroom.

"Godspeed my Utako." whispered Hirohito as he left to follow his wife and give his son the bad news.
