Chapter 11
Falling for a demon's whiles...
The days followed the kiss passed by me in a blur I had no standing no grasp on reality had hardly any concentration at all everything revolved around the kiss I had never been kissed like that before ever not even by him it was raw and sharp possessive and satisfying it filled me with bad thoughts of his long hair falling all over my bare skin trailing kisses all over my body. It made me shiver each time and ache for his arms I was literally in physical pain not being in his over powering presence all I wanted to do was jump into his arms and give myself up to him and my mother wasn't helping matters with her suggestive whispers about getting married rite now and to just give up because i loved him he loved me what more was their to wait for. I knew she wanted to see me married not that I blamed her but I was not getting married without my friends i needed my best friend to walk me down the isle he promised me he would.
I also needed Sango as my maid of honor and Rin as the flower girl and my little Shippou walking her down the isle. I needed my entire family i knew that If i did get married I'd have to do it twice once with my feudal family and once for my mom Sota, and grandpa. But I knew that unfortunately I'd have to wait to share that with my mom Sota and Jii-chan they'd be disappointed but they'd be 500 years into the future and would be able to see it I'd just have to marry a demon. Damn I knew all my thoughts were bravado I was stuck I loved the infuriating demon and knew I'd give in eventually and let him claim me.
I had already agreed to mate him technically with my vague answers. A shiver ran down my spine and knew I liked having a predator hunt for me was thrilling to know I had one of the most powerful demon lords in the feudal era courting me It made me feel so loved and special. I looked up at the clock in the room another half hour for me to finish the test. Damn I couldn't even concentrate on literature tests and that was my best subject. I rolled my pencil between fingers trying to answer the questions on my paper. I scribbled out a character added punctuation that was missing from the sentence. I continued my last test in half concentration my mind still on the puzzle that was Sesshomaru and my recently discovered feelings for the demon and admittance to said feelings and engagement I sighed as the final bell released me I gathered my things my friends descended on me I felt suddenly lonely I'd be leaving them behind to I felt such sadness at the thought of losing more people. I looked up from my musings and caught sight of my demon waiting for me He leaned casually against the building across from the school wearing his special button down shirt that I bought him without his knowledge the black silk fit his body like a glove he had ran his hands over the fabric and gave me the most innocent smile when i handed it to him yesterday saying it was a reward for behaving and not killing anyone. His hair tumbled down his shoulder his hair standing out amongst the silver dragons that decorated his shirt he also wore the Ice King mask as he stood their girls giggled and passed by him his nostrils flared picking up my sent he glanced in my direction. A playfully dangerous smile played on his lips he was planning something.
I walked up to him he held out a clawed hand to me I placed mine within his he brought it to his lips and kissed my knuckles.
"Hello my lovely bride to be how are you feeling today?" the mirth apparent in his voice oh yeah he was planning something. I rolled my eyes declining to answer him I turned in the direction of my brothers school and started walking letting the chuckling demon in my wake he caught my hand and threaded his fingers threw mine I allowed it we walked hand in hand. Sota was just walking out of the school at the same moment we arrived a small shallow cut under his eye he wore a triumphant smile as he walked up to Sesshomaru and said.
"Look Sessho-niisan my first victory wound. I beat him good with just my defense I didn't even use any attacks either the teacher over saw it saw me defending myself and him trying to attack me they expelled him!" Sesshomaru smiled.
"Well done Sota-ototochan you have earned your first marking If you would allow me to preform a small ritual I would be happy to bestow the first one If you would allow it?" he asked fondly
"You mean a mark like yours some where?" Sota asked excitedly.
"Yes the first one will adorn your upper left arm the first one requires a small ritual normally a Father is the one who preforms it but a brother is an acceptable substitute." He stated flicked his long hair over his shoulder then said in his prince like formal speech." That is If this Sesshomaru is an acceptable substitute Ototo."
"I couldn't think of any one whom I'd rather Aniki." He said walking to the demons side and giving him a look of love and adoration. The demon proudly patted him on the shoulder affectionately walking proudly with the boy I joined them on Sesshomaru's other side slipped my arm threw his and walked with them. The house loomed in front of us I took in the site I knew it would be the last time tears threatened my vision i sniffed em away. smiling at this moment I didn't want to ruin Sota's and Sesshomaru's bonding time. We walked the familiar streets for the last time for a very long time we walked slowly all of us knowing that me and Sesshomaru were leaving via well in the morning. Walking up the steps to the shrine Sesshomaru shook off my arm turning to me and said.
"This is were the were we leave you Miko we men have a ritual to preform. We will see you at dinner." Dismissing me the boys turned to the woods I rolled my eyes and walked in to the house.
"Mama I'm home." I called out sliding my shoes off and setting my bag on the table in the entrance.
"Welcome home go up and change then you can help me with dinner I'm cooking up a feast since this is yours and Sesshomaru's last night here I thought we'd celebrate your engagement." She giggled knowingly
"Mom we are not engaged officially yet I haven't agreed." I yelled giggling knowing as well as I that I was screwed fighting a loosing battle. I'd give in to the demon lord eventually. But damn it i wouldn't give in without a fight. I did as I was told changing into something more comfortable. Then heading to the kitchen to help my mom who it turned out wasn't exagurateing when she said feast several dishes laid on the counter she was arranging them artfully.
"Were are the boy's training?" she asked as I walked in washed my hands and began to help her.
"Holding some ritual apparently according to Sota he beat that bully in a fair fight the teachers saw Sota defend him self and expelled the bully Sesshomaru said he earned his first marking so their holding a ritual to start the marking every time after this when he earns one they'll appear. And he'll teach him how to hid them as well, the first one is going to be on his upper arm he won't have to hide that one. Except maybe in the changing room and during the summer." I explained she smiled and laughed.
"I'm glad you brought that man here he's been good for Sota to finally have a father figure other then Jii-chan not that Jii-chan isn't a good influence on him but he's to old to under stand some of the things Sota needs at this point in life. And I know what your going to say that Sesshomaru is older then all of us put together in human terms your right but for a demon he's in his 20's young vibrant at the age they start to have children and begin to teach them so It's perfect. I just hope that when the battle is over you both will come back and stay for a while Sota adores Sesshomaru and needs his guidance." She replied we finished preparing called the boys in the three of them came in Jii-chan leading the way Sota followed pulling up his sleeve and proudly displaying the magenta stripe across his upper arm just above the muscle Sesshomaru had even taken his illusion off for the first time in days and displayed his own stripes on his cheeks and beautiful crescent moon. We laughed and talked and forgot that the future was in danger we forgot everything but this one perfect moment in time surrounded by love and laughter and family food and the promises of that continued love and faith for ever. This is the moment we were striving to save fighting body and soul to take back from evil this moment was all that mattered and in it i focused on the truth of everything that was to come and will be and I gave in because what was this moment surrounded by my family without him. It would be meaningless without the man I loved deeply it wouldn't be this perfect this serene after all the denial and hesitation I gave in because this was worth the pain and I wanted all of it all or nothing. I took a sip of sake from my cup gathering my courage. Turned to the laughing demon and gave him the answer that he had waited patiently for and I did it in front of my family .
"Sesshomaru?" I asked waiting for his attention to fall on me he turned in my direction a long with my family raised and eyebrow and gave me his general.
"Hn"
"I have been thinking about the other day and I agree I will be your mate if you'll still have me." I said taken aback at my announcement my family gasped the demon's mouth hung open speechless I wished I had a camera to snap a photo to show everyone else that the Ice prince was just as emotional as everyone else. He stared at me a incredulous look on his face mouth hanging open he finally answered me after a few me.
"Do you mean It Kagome my heart couldn't take it if you gave your consent without your love behind it. I want all or nothing Kagome your heart body and soul I do not want what you cannot give." He reply some what desperately I smiled reached over to touch the magenta stripes on his cheek.
"What makes you think I would accept the hand of a man I didn't love? Is it due to what I said to Inuyasha I was lieing I had to say those things to get him to listen to me. I had to come home that doesn't mean the way i did it was true. I had to come up with something for him to let it go he's so controlling had to push his button to even get him to understand. But regarding you I thought it was obvious that i was completely in love with you. I don't think anyone else would do not after the way you treat me its just not possible. I'm ruined for all other men so do you still want me or not?" I replied pressing my lips to his lightly he growled grabbing my arms and pulling me into his lap he held me captive in front of my family and said.
"Damn woman for your information now that you've said yes you belong to me and I will never let you go." He growled again and we finishes our meal true to his word i didn't leave his lap till the very end and I helped my mother with the dishes he hovered thou not letting me more then three feet from him my mother and brother giggled at his behavior Jii-chan just wore a knowing and triumphant look on his face. By the time i was finished with the dishes I was yawning I kissed my mother brother and Jii-chan good night I walked up the stairs with a demon trailing after I made him wait in the hall while I changed into my pj's.
I turned the handle and opened the door when I was done I slid into bed as he came into the room he closed the door and slid into the bed with me grabbing his tail from the desk were it had been laying like a cat all day and it coiled out around both of us rubbing my cheek as it laid around my shoulder. I began to drift when I herd the demon who had both arms curled around me whisper to me or to himself I wasn't quit sure.
" I pledge myself to you for all eternity I will always stand with you in good and bad on the blood that flows in my veins to always stand with you no matter the consequences." He murmured squeezing me closer to his chest I slipped into a peaceful deep satisfying sleep.
