Rin sat there and was smiling at Kagome, both of them were sitting on the small hillside beside Sesshomaru and Naraku's palace. They were waiting for their mates to return home, they were at a meeting to talk about a sudden arise of demons being murdered by humans in the kingdom to the east. It caused Sesshomaru and Naraku to go to the meeting for one reason it was really close to their kingdoms borders, with their people and families to protect they sent soldiers to stay at their borders of their lands and also at their palace. Kohaku came walking up behind the two girls with swelling bellies, he smiled "Hello, my ladies. Do you wish for Kanna to bring you both a snack?"

Kagome smiled and looked at Rin who was picking all the flowers around her, she smiled and handed him a pink Lilly "Here a trade. I give you this flower to brighten you up and you bring us some yummy fruit." He chuckled and remembered this woman who was soon going to be a mother used to be younger than him, he actually wanted to ask Sesshomaru about her hand. But now she is his lady and the mate to his two lords he shoved his old feelings aside and remembered their friendship "Okay."

Kagome nodded and got up standing and stretching she looked like she were six months along like Rin, she gave Rin a hand to help her up "Let's go for a walk?" She smiled and looked up at her "Kagome thanks. Do you think we can go to see the waterfall again?" She nodded she couldn't believe how much she was like Rin's mother or big sister in a lot of ways. Rin got up and began to prance off and giggle seeing a Kanna appear in front of her "My Ladies."

Rin smiled taking a peach from a bowl and turned around to see Kagome "Hey look yummy peaches are good for our tummies," with that last phrase she rubbed her round belly and looked at Kagome they were soon both going to have little boys. Kanna stood there allowing Kagome to get a peach too, Kohaku walked and stood beside Kanna "Hello Kanna."

She stood there not moving like the stone statue "Hello Kohaku." He looked at her with a smiled and took a peach and she slapped his hand away "These are for my Ladies." He quickly pulled back his hand back and glared at her waiting for her to blink which never happened she never blinked "That was harsh."

She turned her head like a statue and looked bored almost "Yes."

"Why do you talk like that?"

"I am a void demoness."

Rin smiled and hugged Kanna and stuck a peach in her mouth then hugged her hard making the peach pop out of her mouth "Kanna smiled! Laugh! Do something! If you're a statue like that than a bird with poop on you."

With that Rin smiled to show Kanna how to do it "Like this, cheese!" Kanna looked at the pregnant demoness. Her skin was pale and her hair was long to her ankles in a long fat braid, her purple crescent moon on her forehead her maroon stripes were higher than normal due to her large smile showing her small fangs, her golden eyes were lighting up from excitement.

Kanna stared emotionally then saw Kagome doing the same her red eyes were beautiful like rubies and matching her red spider mark on her forehead with her long black hair in a high bun in all its braids. Kanna sighed "I'm not able to I have Lady Rin's hair and I don't have any other qualities that are similar to either of you."

Kohaku smiled and shook his head and walked over to the border of the palace grounds "Bankostu are you there?" He soon got his answer soon enough when Bankostu jumped out of a nearby tree "Yea Kohaku I'm here. " Kohaku smiled and put his hands on his hips and looked at poor Kanna, shaking his head as his fellow general Bankostu walked over and stood beside her "Hey you been watching this long, I was napping."

He nodded and Kagura flew down to see why the whole group was gathered "What is going on here?" Bankostu really didn't like Kagura trying to cause trouble and flaunt herself like she was going to be the Lady of the kingdom. Kohaku leaned near her and whispered they were a good ten feet from Kanna and the two girls who were now pulling the sides of her lips up to into a smile.

Kohaku nodded and looked at the two on his left and right "Kanna wasn't smiling or anything so she I getting punished…"

"Smile! smile! smile!" The Rin stretched Kanna's lips further pulling the sides of her lips, as Kagome when decided to run over to Kagura with demon speed, Kagome grabbed a feather from Kagura's bun and ran over Kanna and began tickling her.

Kohaku continued "Kanna is getting punished more or less."

Kagura held her fan tightly and bit down on her teeth hard, she snarled "She took my feather." Kohaku felt anger radiating off of Kagura and poked Bankostu "Damn she is mad." Kohaku nodded and smiled looking at Bankostu and whispered something in his ear, and he chuckled and they both looked at Kagura. Then Kagome had Kanna still stone still but stretching her lips like before to get her too smile they hear yelling and look to see Bankostu and Kohaku with their sashes wrapped around her eyes and her wrists tied behind her back.

"Damn it Bankostu! Damn it Kohaku! I will tear you to shreds soon as I can get free, damn it." Kagome laughed with Rin they both were bent over holding their bellies to try and not laugh too much, Bankostu smiled and elbowed Kohaku "At least we saved Kanna." Then they took a better look at Kanna to find her cheeks and lips swollen and red in a molded smile molded by Rin and Kagome. It was a scary awkward smile. Kagome and Rin laid on the ground with their cares to the wind tonight was the ball and it was in five hours they had their yukatas' and hairstyles already picked out and were waiting for their mates.

Rin smiled as they laid under the tree Bankostu jumped in to rest on a branch, Kohaku jumped on a higher branch balancing and relaxing on. Kanna untied the steaming Kagura who flew away to hide where every she always does, Kanna sat beside the two females holding the bowl of peaches again. Rin looked at Kagome after looking at the scene around her "We are a big family Kagome. I know you had to leave your old group, your old friends and old family… but I hope you learned to love and like us just as much if not more. Bankostu is like our older brother who is smart, tough and protective and funny, and Kohaku is like our shy and silly younger awkward brother and Kanna she is our weird but adorable little sister. Kagura I don't think wants to be part of our family so she is the outsider but I feel bad for her too."

Kagome nodded and jumped up at the same time Rin did after seeing two more shadows pass them by and went towards the palace. Rin got up smiling and running with Kagome, but they were both soon picked up and carried to their mates. Kohaku picked up Rin and Bankostu picked up Kagome running them into the courtyard just after Sesshomaru and Naraku landed.

They looked at the guards holding their mates and smiled watching their mates jump down and run toward them Kagome ran and hugged Naraku kissing him on the lips sweetly, she felt his hands snake around her waist and around her head pulling her deeper into his kiss as his tongue begged for entrance. She allowed him in and she was allowed passage in return, Rin smiled and hugged Sesshomaru she hugged him around the middle of his chest she was so short to her two mates who were nearly the same height.

Sesshomaru tipped her chin up to him as he licked her mate mark he gave her on one side of her neck, and sucked hard making her want to moan but he noticed her tensing up and biting her lip. He then smirked and crashed his lips into hers and thrusted his tongue into her mouth without asking for any entrance but found his mate willingly allowing him in, it seemed he and her shared the same hunger.

Sesshomaru broke their kiss and looked at Naraku he looked down at his other mate Kagome and smiled petting her baby bump and kissed her lips sweetly, but found her trying to push her tongue pass his lips around the same time Rin ran into Naraku's arms and was cradled and swung around in a circle as they shared a deep kiss. Rin was running her hands all throughout Naraku's hair getting them severely tangled, Kagome at the same time broke out of her passionate kiss needed air and then grabbed her arm running down the hall to get ready, Rin smiled waving.

Naraku and Sesshomaru were left alone in the courtyard looking as emotionless as ever. Naraku shook his head slightly "Looks like our lovely mates are busy and full of life as ever."

"I enjoy seeing that way. You and I are not very emotional nor are we as energetic when it comes to daily life. It is like a breath of fresh air seeing our mates every day. I cannot wait for our children to causing just as much excitement as our lovely mates."

"Yes, what do you think tonight will be like?"

Sesshomaru sighed and looked to the clouds passing the blue canvas of the ice blue sky "I suppose it will have many lords and ladies. I had Jaken make the list so I am unsure of everyone who will be attending. Do you think our mates will enjoy it?"

"I do, Sesshomaru. I was meaning to ask you something."

"Yes, what is it." Sesshomaru began to walk from the courtyard down random hallways just merely walking where ever he pleases with Naraku by his side.

"Do you think your mother will be joining?" Sesshomaru stops and faces Naraku with a silent glare "I don't care to know however I doubt she would. She is upset that I formed our two kingdoms together, for the sake of an alliance and for sharing mates."

"Sesshomaru do you regret any of this?" They shortly began walking looking at paintings lining the walls of the palace.

"No. I am quite happy and over joyed being your ally and being mate to two wonderful women whom I love. I often would never express my feelings this way only three will ever see this side of me. Those three are you who I see as a trusted friend and a brother and our two mates Kagome and Rin, our children will see this side of me as well."

"I'm glad that we did this too. I am surprised that we are all having a family this early and that they don't fell jealousy same with us."

"None of us feel it because we are above those petty emotions we feel emotions that are noble like love, protectiveness and anger things that are expected of us but not jealousy that is for the weak and none of us are weak."

"Yes, what of Kagura I don't trust her."

"You creaeted her did you not, you should know better than anyone else. She often disappears and I do not like that at all. Nor how she tries to sway our feelings for our mates by trying to make us feel lust toward her."

"Yes it is very 'ify' as Kagome word say and Rin would think that is was 'bad.' And you, would probably just go 'Heh'."

"Heh." Sesshomaru chuckled after saying that one word and then became serious again and put his hand on his friend's shoulder "We shall keep close attention on her. We should prepare now."

XX Meanwhile with Sango XX

Sango was just trying to get ready she never gone to a ball though and was surprised she knew this was her knew life, and demon slaying would be a mere hobby. But she put on her dark blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick, with a three layer yukata her first outer layer was pink with purple and maroon circles all over it with a medium pink petals and random string designs here and there. The outer layer was tied shut with a yellow obi and her under layers that were only visible by her neck were a light pink and a light yellow.

She had her hair up in a nice bun with a few pins and one nice comb, she was trying to be simple but still look nice she couldn't embarrass her fiancé after all. She walked into his chambers to see if he was ready and he heard small footsteps and turned around "Yes. Who is it?"

"Just me. Are you almost ready?" He walked up seeing his fiancée and smiled looking at her and walked around her several times just taking in all her beauty "Wow, it looks better than I even imagined you look stunning. She averted her eyes to the ground and blushed feeling him take a hold of her hand bringing her eyes back to his "You are beautiful."

She looked at him stunned like someone just gave her the world's greatest news "I am?" He nodded and leaned in seeing her close her eyes he continued to lean in then heard a servant open the door interrupting their touching moment "My Lord!"

He pulled back never touching her lips even though his and hers were longing to meet, She pulled out her fan to hide her blushing face 'Oh my. I was about to kiss him, but it feels weird… I never kissed anyone other than Miroku.' She soon shook her head and slapped her fan in her hand folding it up when she realized they were on their way to the northwest palace in a carriage.

She looked up at the moon wondering who was all looking at it when she was, could she save Kagome or at least reason or understand why she did it? She looked up at the moon silently cursing everyone who was all tied together by the curse jewel. 'If that damn thing never existed than we would all be living normal happy lives right?'

Inuyasha was looking up at the moon he sighed, he couldn't move he was leaning against Kirara with a sleeping Shippo in his arms. He decided to raise Shippo after all and allow Shippo to call him dad and Kagome mom when she returns. Miroku was in a hot spring relaxing against a rock and staring at his cursed hand 'Damn that Naraku. How can Lady Kagome mate with that demon? If the jewel never existed then we would all have better lives.'

'I must destroy the jewel.'

Kagome and Rin were in the hot spring taking a nice bath before getting ready. Rin smiled and picked up a whole bunch of bubbles in her hands and blowing them into Kagome's hair, Kagome splashed her with a handful of water.

"Hey let's keep the water in the hot spring, shall we?" Naraku said stepping in and having Rin sit on his naked lap, Rin smiled and leaned into his grip she was enjoying being next to him as he placed sweet kisses on her neck and rubbed her child.

"Kagome, keep it under control… Please, you too Rin." Sesshomaru sat down next to Naraku and Kagome swan over to his arms that were already open waiting for her. The four all enjoyed their calming and relaxing bath together. Kagome and Rin were both given a necklace half of the jewel was on each necklace chain.

Naraku smiled and looked at Sesshomaru "I and Sesshomaru entrust these pieces to you. Don't let anyone touch them or come even close to them, use your powers to shield their aura and their powers."

Kagome smiled and made them look like red crystal hearts she was a spider demon and spider demons were typically good at illusions she had to thank Naraku for that. When she was about to he gave her a kiss on the forehead as if knowing both girls always received equal attention by their mates through out the whole bath.

Kagome smiled looking at her necklace, Rin smiled and kissed hers and sang in a happy tune "I love my mates. I love my sis. I love my baby, for all this I thank the jewel. Without you we never would of met, our strings of fate are connect to you, and stretch to many others. I thank you. Thank you mates. Thank you sis and Thank you the Shikon Jewel."

Kagome smiled shaking her head "I swear you'll never change Rin."

"I hope none of us change, I love my sis just how you are Kagome. I love Naraku and Sesshomaru for being who they are too."

"That's our Rin full of love." Naraku smiled kissing her neck earning a moan mixed with a growl.

"Indeed and our funny little Miko too." Sesshomaru was quick to claim Kagome's lips.

Ps. Yes, I didn't forget about Koga don't worry. Okay I kinda forgot about him for the last two chapters but don't worry something will happen him and his friends won't stay there forever. As for our groups everything is getting more complicated, Inuyasha's group is having difficulties and look like they are going to break apart. While Naraku, Rin, Kagome, and Sesshomaru seem to be doing really well and having lots of fun living together in the palace with the staff members. And our group of Kagome's school friends in the modern era keep digging up things they never knew about Kagome but seem like they hit a dead end a while back, will they find out more. I don't know I just have a layout how I think the story will go and let me say now I'm making it up as I go. Lol XP

LadyRin18825 Out X.X

Na I'm still here ^.^ but I am going to bed it's 1:24 I might be a night owl but I have been on vacation and the whole time I'm been pretty lazy. Always in the library typing, I'm in a retirement community on vacation. I ain't old enough to live here I want to go home, I'm in Oklahoma and the whole time I'm here wind and storms and tornadoes. I hate it. I visited a town not far from where I am now and then the next thing I know that town got hit! FYI tornadoes and sleepy high is not a good combo for me. Ask me random questions and I'll most likely answer if they aren't weird. I WOULD APPREATATE IT IF YOU REVIEWED THANKS, AND READ OTHER STORIES OF MINE TOO. Nighty night –Yawns- ~o~ Zzz
