Feeling the sun on her face Kagome scrunch her nose as she opens her eyes. She wanted one more movement of peace. One movement of bathing in the memories of last night. Slowly stretching, she reaches her arms towards where Sesshomaru should be. Her eyes snapped open, when it encountered colds sheets instead of the solid chest of Sesshomaru. Sitting up quickly in the bed, letting the sheets fall to her waist. Her eyes scanned the room until it found who she was looking for.
In the corner of the sat Sesshomaru, he was at a dark oak desk, with a tree of life carved into it, with a stack of scrolls. His long white hair was held back from his faces by a black leather cord tied at the base of his skull. His chest was bare and glistened in the early morning light. On the bridge of his nose he had a pair of spectacles that looked way to perfect on him.
Kagome let out a groan of annoyance. This cause Sesshomaru to look up from his paper work to look at his awaken mate. See that annoyance on her face he just raises an elegant eyebrow in question.
"How is it possible that you look even better with glasses on. That is so not fair." Kagome states this as she points her hand towards him as if that was evidence enough.
If Kagome had blinked, she would have missed the slight upturn of the left side of his beautiful, almost feminine mouth. As quickly as it was there, it was gone. Looking back down find a different scroll he said, "You should get dress. I must go address the guard soon, as my mate you must stand by my side."
Kagome quickly caught her breath. She wasn't sure she was ready to be introduced to the guard yet. She was still in a state of awe. Not knowing if this was just a dream and hadn't woke up yet. Nibbling on her bottom lip in anxiety.
Sense his mate distress, he quickly put down the scroll he was reading and walk to his mate. Leaning over her and caging her against the bed, bring his lips just a whisper away from her. "What is that worries you?"
Kagome gulps with how close Sesshomaru is to her. Even with what they did last night she was not use to being this close to a male. Her eyes look everywhere except him.
With a slight sigh, Sesshomaru closes the space between them and claims her lips. Her eyes widen for a second, then close and she let herself enjoy the contradictions of his lips. His lips were firm, but them felt like the finest silk against her mouth.
For what seems like hours, but was just seconds they were lost in each other's mouth. Sesshomaru slowly removes his lips from her, watching as she tries to follow his mouth. Waiting for her to open her eyes, he doesn't give their body to much space between them. When Kagome opens her eyes, Sesshomaru simples said, "You are my mate. You have every right to stand by my side. Never doubt that."
Kagome is stun by what he said. It only took a moment for a smile to light up her face. See throws her arms around his neck and buries her face in his hair.
Now it is Sesshomaru's turn to be shocked, granted he did not let it show. He for a split second debated how to react and decide to warp his arms around her waist. When his arms where secure around her waist he stood. Kagome yelps at the sudden movement and tightens her arms around her neck. He walks them over to the wardrove and gently set her on her feet.
They looked at each other as they got dress. Kagome was reassured with what Sesshomaru had said. As the head out of the room to address the guard, she held her head high. She is Sesshomaru's mate.
