Chapter 13 I'm mating him...
Morning came quickly, no nightmares, no bad dreams interfered with our sleep. Sesshomaru and I rose almost at the same exact moment twin thuds hit us squealing.
"Mama Dad time to get up were leavening today remember?" Rin and Shippou chanted in harmony.
"Kagome, love, tell your children it is to early to wake me ." Sesshomaru grumbled
"Hate to brake it to you Sesshomaru their your kids too, besides your a powerful daiyoukai if you can't keep them from bothering us before 9 am we are doomed." I rumbled back.
"Before 9 am their yours to punish after that their mine." He argued
"Well then I guess I'll have to find a mate who'll take my side and deal with the children as a team. Lets see were can I find a handsome sweet demon totally in love with me? Hmmmm tough one, oh well better start looking." I answered sweetly turning away from Sesshomaru in mock action. I didn't even get halfway .
"Nice try love but the moment you agreed to mate me you gave up all other men. Your mine like it or not." he laughed sitting up while pulling me up with the kids tumbled off us on to our feet.
"In that case there is always flowers, right Rin lovely flowers, that would look oh so good in your hair."I threatened she nodded laughing. Shippou looked appalled.
"Okay okay you win their ours you play dirty love. Shall we get going ?" He asked
"Yeah, its early but you wanted to get to the house first didn't you? We can make it by mid afternoon if we leave now." Inuyasha answered standing up and stretching.
" You are correct Inuyasha the sooner we leave the better. Come on lets get moving."He replied standing taking me and Rin with knowing Shippou would land on his feet like always. I pulled away and gathered what few things we had. Sango and Miroku were doing the same so we made short work of it. We bid Kaede good-bye walking out of the hut strolling west to Sesshomaru's home. We were keeping a comfortable pace talking and laughing getting back into our normal routines quickly. Rin stayed close to me taking my hand smiling as if it was her birthday and Christmas wrapped into one day. I smiled indulging the girl in her claim but maintaining my conversation with Miroku and Sango. I walked watching the two silver haired figures in front of us and smiled. Finally they were taking the chance and working together as brother's affectionately, loyally, and dedicated to one another and the 'pack' that followed them. They spoke to quietly for human ears to hear. Half tempted to interrupt I held back letting them bond. Shippou tugged my shirt trying to get my attention.
"Yes sweetie what is it?"I asked.
"Mama, its Koga. He is close by I can smell him. He must have switched directions when he sniffed you." He replied
"Ok go tell your Father and Uncle just incase they missed it. I doubt it but they've been enjoying themselves." I told him
"Yes mama ." He bounced off and ran up to Sesshomaru timing his jump on to Sesshomaru's shoulder perfect he whispered in his ear Sesshomaru nodded touched Inuyasha's shoulder pointing to the right Inuyasha sniffed in the direction his brother indicated then nodded. They tensed but continued walking . We took that as a queue to keep walking behind the Alpha and Beta male's. Soon a whirlwind entered our line of site I created a barrier around me so the wolf wouldn't be able to touch me or my little Rin. He rushed up to me as predicted.
"Kagome how's my woman? I've..." he began only to get thrown back from me by my barrier.
"Koga you'd do well to remember that I am not your woman, never have been, never will be. I'm taken already and I'd rather not see you a bloody pulp on the ground after his claws get done with you." I said disdainfully almost 5 years of his crap I was quite sick of it.
"Damn it mutt you better have not turned her agents me if you've touched her I will kill you." Koga yelled at Inuyasha
"Keh. Wrong person you smelly wolf." Inuyasha replied gleefully jerking his thumb in his brother direction to a very pissed off Sesshomaru who stood there arms crossed glaring at the wolf. Looking like he was about three seconds from skinning said wolf.
'I'm cursed! Damn I knew he was gonna over react.' I thought. Sweeping the little girl that held my hand into my arms and walked the distance that separated me from him. The girl wrapped her arms and legs around me leaning into my body trustingly understanding my need of speed. She also shook slightly in fear at the appearance of Koga's pack mates Hakkaku and Ginta along with two wild wolfs that seemed to recently accompany them. I placed a restraining hand on Sesshomaru's chest placing myself between him and the wolf's.
"Were sorry Kagome-sama we couldn't stop him ."Hakkaku gasped for breath Ginta nodded unable to form words yet I turned in their direction .
" Ya Why don't you just leave Mama alone!" Shippou yelled from his perch on Sesshomaru's shoulder Koga ignored him.
"It's not your fault guy's, its his for not doing things properly and asking me for my hand. He just won't get it thru his head that I make my own choices . I'm a grown woman and he is my friend enough that he should have at least respected me enough to ask." I replied Rin shook in my arms burrowing into my shoulder.
"Rin sweetie what's wrong? Are you ok?" I added squeezing the girl tightly to me .
"Rin is okay Mama. Rin just don't like wolfs, they hurt Rin a long time ago." She replied Koga's head snapped up when he heard Mama out of the girls mouth and sat there stunned, I ignored him completely.
"Oh sweetie it's ok they won't hurt you. Mama knows these wolfs and they would never hurt you. Quite the opposite ok I promise, baby. Even if and, I stress that because it would never happen, everybody would protect you from them. Daddy, Mama, Uncle Inuyasha, Shippou, Uncle Miroku and Auntie Sango, we would never let anything happen to you dearest. " A small humph came from Jaken who held Ah-un's harness. I rocked the girl gently ignoring the imp. She looked up at the other's they smiled back at her content she finally faced the wolfs I had spoken to.
"I am sorry Mama's friends I did not mean to be rude to you ." She spoke in a small but strong voice. Ginta and Hakkaku smiled sweetly at her.
"It's ok little Princess we understand your fear and apologize for the hurt caused to you by our fellows. " Always gentle Ginta turned his reply into a diplomatic turn.
" It was not your fault and I shouldn't have taken out my fear on you nice wolfs." She smiled back at Ginta reaching the end of her tolerance she burrowed back into my shoulder.
" Kagome-sama, would you like to rest at the caves. They are close but considering the little princesses' fear you might not think its good for her but the offer is up if you would like." Ginta
" Thank you guys that's sweet but we have a lot of ground to cover were a few hours away from were we need to be. We will be safe there and have a few things to take care of." I replied running my fingers thru the girls hair. Hakkaku fidgeted moving his feet in a shuffle.
"Yes Hakkaku? Something bothering you." I asked puzzled at the normally rational wolf.
"I'm sorry Kagome-sama but I was just umm. Is what Inuyasha said to Koga true?" he burst out unable to keep it in I laughed turning around pulling the still smoldering demon by his armor making him lean down I kissed him in front of everybody snapping out of his anger he responded kissing me back I broke it off after a few seconds turning towards the awe struck wolf's.
" I'm mating him. I love him have a problem with it?" I asked cocking one of my eyebrows up. In what Sango told me later was a very Sesshomaru way.
"No Kagome-sama none at all."Ginta replied smacking Hakkaku upside the head.
"Okay then well see you guy's soon!" I waved turning around pulling my demon with me by the armor he reluctantly allowed me to, kit still perched on his shoulder. He put an arm around me as I pulled him away from the shell shocked wolfs cursing under my breath the others followed. At a slightly faster pace then we were originally walking I was mad and had a headache I wanted to close my eye's. I leaned into Sesshomaru slightly he held tighter taking some of my weight with him. Keeping me from felling the extra weight that the girl brought. The rest of the trip was quiet, almost too quiet. It seemed to be like the universe was giving us a brake, like the calm weather before a storm, it wouldn't last. We walked to the edge of what was the western lands we walked in them for a few hours when Sesshomaru turned right motioning the rest of us to follow we walked to the edge of a lush green clearing with a large lake and standing 20 yards away was a beautiful Japanese style manor two story's it was large and impressive but it was a lot less then the castle or fortress I was expecting. It was a home one to raise children in.
"Welcome friends to my home." Sesshomaru gestured to the house paused then added.
"Come lets get something to eat I'm sure everyone could use a brake." We walked into the house the breezing thru it Sesshomaru led us thru the house he paused in front of a door turned toward Inuyasha and looked at him opened his mouth to form words but nothing came out. Finally when it seemed like he was never gonna speak he did.
"Inuyasha this is your room. I had it specially made for you before your mother passed on I hope you'll use it whenever you are here and come to consider this house a sort of home." He said turning on heel trying to hide his embracement. We left Inuyasha standing outside his room and was led to other rooms Sango got her own far away from the pervy monk. The kids ran off to Rin's room I figured Shippou would either sleep with her in her room or find me later. As we walked alone down the hall Sesshomaru seemed to be thinking very hard about something I wish I knew what he was thinking he stoped in front of large double doors He turned to me flung the doors open.
"This is our room the room we will share forever." I smiled and walked in it was so lavish. A large platform bed stood in the middle of a giant room the doors to the outer porch were open I could see the steam rise out of the natural hot spring. There was another door open on my left to what looked like a closet, I could see kimono sleeves from its depths. I slid my bag off and sat it near the bed. I studied the room memorizing it . Arms sneaked around me pulling me tight.
"I'll have them working on the bathroom. The next time we're home you'll have indoor plumbing ,love though we will have to do without electricity till I can figure out how I can pull it off. Now if you wish we can get married imedeatly or we can wait but I would like to mate with you in the way of my people if that is acceptable?" He questioned nuzzling my hair.
"We don't have to right now I'd rather wait to get officially married after Naraku is destroyed I want a big double wedding with Sango. Where there are no dangers or evil youkai bent on destroying the world. But I would like to be tied to you forever tell me what is the way of your people?" I asked curious.
"Well its not much we could do it in the back yard its a short little ritual. Were you accept my true form and i mark you mine. Simple and quick the kids can come the others as well you said you wanted." He said with a slight chuckle sliding his hand thru my hair and pushing it off my neck exposing it to the slight chill of the room. Then added brushing his lips over the exposed skin nipping lightly at it.
"I cannot wait to see my mark here on your beautiful neck telling all of your other suitors that your mine." I giggled and slipped out of his arms I was home it didn't matter what time I was as long as I was with him I was home and that's all I ever wanted...
