Hello everyone! Oh my gosh I can't believe how the time flies! I am so sorry about my delayed updates, but the holidays are murder! Please read and review…..I have a special inside look on the bond between the two brothers. Now…I just want to say that I have a very special bond with my own big brother and so when I wrote that part, I was drawing that from my relationship with my brother who is a very protective freak but I love him to death =)
I love the characters in the anime how they went from hatred to being able to fight side by side and tolerate each other. If Sesshomaru had been raised differently I believe he would have been a bit more of a brother than what he was in the anime but oh well….we still love you Sesshy! On with the story….
~Kagmoe POV~
I slept the whole night.
I stretched and yawned feeling so good that I turned around and buried my nose in the soft down pillows.
Strange….this pillow smells an awful lot like InuYasha.
InuYasha…
A memory flashed through my mind, one that made me blush. Did we kiss? Or was I dreaming that? And if it was a dream….then it was a very good dream. Opening my eyes I gasped then bolted up in bed looking around.
I was not in Rin's beach house. Where the heck was I? Looking around I noticed that to room was masculine in nature; dark cherry furniture dotted the large bedroom. A few nature themed art pieces hanged strategically around the walls but no personal photos. Looking around I noticed the shirt that lay in the floor by the bed, frowning I looked down at my clothes, everything was still intact. I leaned over and picked it up and saw who it belonged to.
That was InuYasha's shirt
I touched my lips softy. Did we kiss then? I closed my eyes and could faintly remember what it felt like to have his lips to mine, to taste him. I could swear I could still taste him and it made my heart leap in my chest. I sighed and leaned back on the pillows that smelled so much like him and felt a rush of heat cover me. I love his scent. It was a dark secret of mine.
Was I really that attracted to him?
True he was handsome, affectionate and always so concerned about my well-being, but he was so much more than that. He had the whole package in my opinion and any girl who landed him was going to very lucky. I giggled to myself as turned on the bed again and hugged on to one of his pillows and inhaled.
Why did he kiss me? Was it because I was a little tipsy or did I kiss him? That would surprise me; I tend to let my inhibitions go a bit when I drink but I don't go around kissing random men. Then again if I already like someone then it would just make me a bit braver to confess to them.
Then another thought came into mind. Where the hell were Sango, Rin and Ayame? They didn't just leave me to InuYasha did they? OMG! What about his parents?
I blushed hard then moved to see if I could find my purse but it was nowhere in sight. Drat. Getting out of the large bed, I had to literally jump to get off of the high bed. Moving to the bathroom I figured he wouldn't mind if I used it. I was washing my hands when noticed a toothbrush. I debated on using it or not but my need for a fresh mouth ruled out the cons. I was sure he wouldn't mind, but I guessed that if he did I would buy him another one. I wasn't necessary grossed out by it; I doused it in Listerine before rinsing it in hot water then used it. After wards I check my watch and saw that it was 6:30am. If I can find my purse then I could call a taxi to take me to Rin's house without bugging Yasha or have his family find out I slept in his room. I opened the bedroom door and blinked. There was a whole separate sitting room complete with an entertainment center.
Wow….InuYasha's family was obviously wealthier than my family….and my family is pretty rich. I tip toed to the door and opened it softy and peeked out into a long hall way. Making my way quietly down the hall way and stairs I check the living room and foyer for my purse with no luck. Looking around to make sure everyone was still asleep I tip toed in to the kitchen and family but here was no sight of my little white beach bag.
Frowning I wondered if I left it in Rin's car. Moving to the front door I was about to open it when I thought better of it. I noticed the security lights on the door frame. If I opened it I would sound the alarm. Well drat.
I pried open the blind by the door and saw Rin's car outside. Okay….so the girls where here…so why wasn't I with them and in Yasha's bedroom instead. Without sounding the alarm I couldn't go outside. That left me to wonder what I should do, wait for everyone to get up in the family room or go up to Yasha's room. I decided to go to the family room.
It was going to awkward enough as it was for me, true that this past week I've been here more than in my own house…but still. Then I thought maybe his parents would appreciate breakfast waiting for them when they woke up and I could thank them for letting us stay the night. Nodding my resolve I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge and check out the contents. Smiling I took out two packages of bacon, a carton of eggs, butter and jam. Moving to the pantry I peeked in and found the pancake mix, syrup, and english muffins. I was cracking eggs into a bowl when Rin came into the kitchen.
"Oh good" she breathed out "I freaked out when I didn't see you in our room. Where are we?" she said giving me a weird look as I continued to crack the eggs.
"We're in InuYasha's house" I said "I'm making breakfast for his mom and dad…which are the nicest people ever" I said smiling.
Rin blinked at me "Wow, didn't know you know him like that" she said poking my arm making me laugh.
"Yeah well, I've been over for dinner twice this week and I study with Yasha" I said as I whisked the eggs.
She laughed "Well then let me help"
"Sure, can you get a bowl and mix the pancake mix" I said turning the oven on to cook the bacon. I don't like to fry it, it doesn't come out crunchy. I wondered if maybe I should make some sausages as well. Looking in the fridge I did see some so I took them out and put them on low in a frying pan. Moving to the coffee machine I brewed coffee for InuYasha's dad.
"You know what we need" said Rin as she mixed the batter "music" she said smiling.
"Okay but I'm not going to put it up too loud" I said moving to the ipod docking radio by the phone in the built in desk in the kitchen. Turning it on I turned it to a rock station pleased when I heard "Soft" by Kings of Leon playing, as soon as the indie rock filled the kitchen me and Rin continued to cook while we sang and danced around the kitchen getting breakfast ready for Yasha's family.
During the song Rin did a little jump and shimmy move that had me cracking up.
"Ahem"
What a squeak we both turned around to find InuYasha's father leaning against the kitchen wall with a grin on his face.
"I was wondering what smelled so good down here" he said then moved to me "Good morning Kagome, it's nice to see you here so early" he said pulling me into a little hug making me smile warmly. I loved InuYasha's dad, he was so sweet…he reminded me of my dad a bit. He nuzzled the top of head a bit before sniffing for the coffee making me giggle at him. He was a notorious coffee drinker; Izayoi said that it was his canine crack.
"Well girls, it seemed you just made my Sunday a very happy one" said InuYasha's mom as she walked into the kitchen and gave me a hug "How are you Kagome?"
"Oh…good" I said then blushed "Sorry about crashing your house like this…..we..ah…kinda got a bit tired at the beach" I said as I flipped over the four pancakes I had on the long griddle skillet.
"You don't have to explain anything dear, you are welcome here any time" she said then looked at Rin who gave them a little smile as she took the muffins that popped out of the toaster and buttered them.
"Hi, I'm Rin" she said holding her hand out to them.
"It's very nice to meet you Rin" said InuYasha's father "you are welcome here anytime as well. It' nice to feel this house to filled with happy and content teenagers"
Rin blushed and thanked them.
I was putting more batter on the griddle when I felt a pair of strong arms snaked around my waist. Jumping a bit I heard a very masculine chuckle as InuYasha nuzzled my neck a bit.
"I think I like you staying over if I'm gonna wake up to breakfast" he said his voice still a bit husky from sleep.
I laughed reached up and rubbed one of his ears gently "Don't get your hopes up, I did this for your parents" then laughed when he gave me a little whine making me giggle "okay, okay…it's for you too" I said then sighed as if in exasperation.
"Smells good" he said reaching to steal a sausage from the frying pan.
"You're going to burn yourself" I said then rolled my eyes when he popped it into his mouth then gave me a peck on the cheek "Delicious" he said then moved to the couch and turned on the TV.
I shook my head at him then realized that I had an audience. Blushing I saw the happy look I got from his dad as he moved to sit with his son.
The next five minutes where filled with introductions as the rest of my friends came down stairs but what caught my attention was when Sesshomaru came down.
He was dressed in some dark rinse jeans and a deep blue polo shirt, his long silver hair braided down his back giving him a very clean cut look.
"Sessh" I said smiling up at him "Morning, hope you're hungry because we got quite a spread" I said then saw that Rin seemed a bit taken back by the older brother. I saw Sesshomaru's eyes go to her immediately making me smile. I practically bounced over to him, took his hand and dragged him over to Rin who gave me a 'you're gonna get it later' look before she smile up at him.
I sat him down in one of the high barstools "Sessh this is Rin, Rin this is Sesshomaru, InuYasha's older brother" I said then realized I had to take the bacon out of the over and start serving "Rin you don't mind making a plate for Sessh do you?" I said innocently.
"Ah…" she said then looked at him who was giving her a very 'I am interested' look.
"I would appreciate it very much" he said to her in a low voice in which she swallowed a bit.
"Wow" she said to him "You have some serious mojo….you know that?" she said then shook her head "Good grief…your dangerous to women" she said then moved to get a plate together for him leaving him frowning at her a bit confused.
I leaned on the counter right by him "If you think I'm bad….." I said then laughed when he gave me a worried look then looked at Rin.
"Quite scaring him" said Rin throwing a blueberry at me but I ducked in time "I'm not that bad!"
"Ha! I'm down to 7 phones….how many are down on?"
She muttered something but I didn't catch it but Sesshomaru groaned.
"What was that?" I said innocently
"12…but I'm older" she said pointing her finger at me "and you destroyed one of them…remember?"
"Oh yeah" I said thinking about the poor little run over piece of technology "Poor phone never saw my rear tires coming" I said in a sad sigh.
InuYasha's father laughed so hard he inhaled some of his coffee and was now having a coughing fit as InuYasha groaned about something on the couch.
"Anyways" said Rin placing a plate of food in front of Sesshomaru "After breakfast we need to go back. I have to go home and feed Toby"
"Who is Toby?" asked Sesshomaru looking at Rin and ignoring his food.
"My tabby cat"
"A cat" he said in a sneer making the girls laugh.
"Hey" said Ayame taking a bite of her bacon "Cats are evil"
"Says the wolf" muttered Sango as she chewed on her eggs.
I shook my head at the lot of them and walked over to the kitchen nook table where InuYasha and his dad moved to after they had their plates.
"Why don't you join us?" said Mr. Taisho gesturing to a chair right by InuYasha as his wife sat on the chair next to him.
"Okay"
Once I had my pate and was seated I found that his dad was talking about InuYasha's work schedule.
"You're going to start working?" I asked
InuYasha nodded to me "Yeah, it's time for me to start working in the company on a more full time bases. Sesshomaru is the company administrator and vice president; I'm going to take over the accounting department"
I was highly impressed "Wow….really?"
He nodded to me as he took a bite of his pancakes "Yeah, I've already been doing some work within, I'm good with numbers so the Controller position is going to be mine in a few years, I the meantime I'm working with my dad and Sessh to get me familiarized with how the company works"
I digested this bit of information. It really shouldn't surprise me, he was extremely smart after all and I had my own company as well. Granted, it was just a small business but it was still mine, and I had my art shows. We talked for a few more minutes; the atmosphere was homey and familiar.
Last week I had stayed for dinner on both Wednesday and Thursday since InuYasha had giving me a ride to school plus I was also here yesterday briefly to study and get some notes from Yasha. His family seemed really happy to have me over and it gave me a very close sneak peek into their relationship. They were all very close, even Sesshomaru who seemed so indifferent and aloof, was secretly very funny and caring just like a big brother should be.
After breakfast I helped InuYasha's mom clean the kitchen as I eyed Rin and Sesshomaru. They were sitting very close together on the sofa as they talked, every once in a while I would see Sesshomaru chuckle at something that she would say making me grin like a ninny. They looked so perfect together.
"They make a lovely pair don't they?"
I smiled up at Mrs. Taisho as she handed me a cup of tea "Yeah, I think this is the first time I see Sessh smile so much since I met him"
"Yes, it warms my heart so much" she said "He may not be my biological son, but I raised him like my own and I feel so at peace to know that he found someone he can be with"
I frowned at her "Isn't it a little soon to start adding her to the family? I mean they just met two hours ago"
She laughed softy then looked at me "Kagome dear, they are demons, they can tell who is the right one for them by scent and I can guarantee you that Rin is Sesshomaru's other half….just like I believe you are InuYasha's"
My eyes widen a bit then looked over to InuYasha who was sitting on the couch with Miroku, Shippo and the girls watching a comedy. I drank in his profile, admiring the way his long silver hair caught the sunlight and his cute puppy ears twitched adorable on top of his head.
"I see the beginnings of love in that look" said his mom making me blink then blush.
"Ah…." I said feeling my face burn even more when I thought of the vague memory or dream of his kiss and wanted nothing more than to find out if his lips were as softy as I dreamed they were.
"You see" she said "I know these things and besides" she said giving me smile "I believe we will see more of both you and Rin around here if my sons have any say in it" she said then patted my hand "Enjoy the rest of your day, my mate and I are heading out to do some shopping…and spend some quality time" she said with a dreamy smile then exited the kitchen. I smiled, I loved see the two of them together, the love and devotion was so open that they didn't bother to hide it from anyone. It was sweet.
I walked over to the couch and sat by Sango and relaxed after making that huge meal and cleaning the kitchen.
"I'm beat" I said then leaned my head to Sango's shoulder "Can we go back to Rin's now? I want to take a cat nap"
"Why don't you just go up to my room?" came the voice of InuYasha.
"Cuz it's your room and besides, I want to shower and change into clean clothes" I said looking at him.
"Oh" said Rin then looked at Sesshomaru "That reminds me, have you seen our stuff? I need my car keys"
Sesshomaru sighed "I have your keys in my room"
"Why?" she asked perplexed.
"I found them in the living room and didn't want to leave your purse unattended" he said like it was the most natural thing in the world to do.
"Oh..well, can I have it back?" she said but then closed her eyes as I watched Sesshomaru run his fingers thought her long brown hair.
"Only if you allow me to escort you ladies back to your house" he said his hand moving away from her hair but went to her pick up one of her hands and placed a kiss on it. I giggled at Rin's blush and confused expression.
"Oh that's okay! I think I know my way around here….I won't get lost" she said smiling at the demon sitting very close to her.
"Still, it would give me piece of mind Rin" he said gently to her then got up and headed upstairs.
"Speaking of which" I said then looked at Yasha "Where is my purse?"
"Oh!" he said getting up "I forgot it upstairs" he said following after Sesshomaru.
"Hmm" said Sango "I got the feeling they hid our stuff so we wouldn't make an escape, sneaky demons"
I rolled my eyes got up then sit next to Rin.
"So…what do you think of Sesshomaru?" I asked quietly making sure we were not over heard.
"He seemed a little uptight at first…but I can't describe it, he's more than just that" she said then noticed how Shippo would grin at her.
"Come on" she said taking my hand and we moved outside by the pool area. I looked around and couldn't help but be a bit impressed in their outdoor living space.
Since the morning was still chilly someone had already lit up the outdoor fireplace so the cushions on the sofa outside were warm. Shivering a little I sat next to Rin.
"What do you mean by there is more to him?" I asked wanting to see for myself if what InuYasha's mom said was true and that they were soul mates.
"It's…how can I descried it" she said with a sigh "When he was near me, I felt so safe and protected. I was at ease and I felt free to be myself, even though he's so serious I didn't get the feeling that he was judging me or trying to change me. He would listen to my hair brain ideas and thoughts and would smile or laugh but he never corrected me or looked down his nose at me like most men of his age would do. He's actually secretly funny and has a very sarcastic side of his humor that I find hilarious"
I nodded understanding exactly what she was saying and referring to. It's the feeling I would get when I was round InuYasha too.
"Does it feel weird when he touches you?" I asked needing to confirm my suspicions.
She shook her head "Its strange right? I'm usually so jumpy and distrustful of men, trust me, I've seen enough in my collage to gain that mistrust, but with him….it feels natural, like he's been doing it for years now"
"Then I know what you're saying Rin" I said then sighed "It's the same way I feel when InuYasha is near me" I said making her smile.
"Oh I can tell" she said then laughed softy "I was there yesterday. The way he would stick by you was so sweet and what amazed me was he was the only one you allowed to touch you. I was afraid after the whole 'Hojo' thing you wouldn't find someone to make you happy"
"Yeah" I said softy "It's…..an incredible feeling" I said leaning back on the sofa as I thought of my first week with Yasha "I've known him for all of one week and yet….it seems like I have known him all of my life. I don't feel queasy when he touches me, it feels natural, like you said, it feels right but I just wish I knew what that means" I said with a sigh "Does it mean that I found a best friend or is it more than that?"
Rin shrugged "I wish I knew too. I say…." she said looking up at fireplace, her face deep in thought "We need to try and meet other guys. Get a firsthand experience to see if this just means that we are ready to look for a relationship" she said making me blush "Or if it is a natural reaction to these men"
I nodded thoughtfully. It made sense I suppose. If I were to meet another guy and allowed myself to be open to him and found that I was comfortable enough with him, then I knew for a fact that it wasn't just my body and soul that reaction to just InuYasha. Then another thought came into mind, but what if I found out that his mom was right? What if I was only at ease around InuYasha because my body and heart called out to him and him alone? What would I do then? Say something to him and hope that he feels it too, or keep quiet and distance myself from him until I can't feel that pull to him anymore? After what I went through with Hojo, did I even want another attachment?
"I know that look" said the voice of Rin. I turned to look at her, her face was grim as she observed me "You're remembering Hojo"
I sighed guiltily "Yeah…I guess you can say that"
"How did you end up breaking up with him anyways? It couldn't have been that easy"
"I moved over here. Changed my number, and didn't tell him where I was going" I said "He had left for a competition in New Mexico for his Taekwondo program. I took the opportunity to leave then. My mom and brother where hell bent on calling the police on him but I just didn't want to deal with anymore. Souta had already agreed to the position over here, I never told Hojo about it so that weekend we moved. We were not scheduled to move until another week but I couldn't wait that long"
"Aren't you worried that he might try to find you?" Rin asked concern in her voice as she looked into the patio doors, I guess looking for the guys.
"I bit" I answered truthfully "but I doubt he will put much effort into finding me any ways, he was always going on about how tired he was in having to put up with me"
"I don't know, you need to be careful Kaggie"
I nodded but truthfully I didn't think he would go to that much effort to find me, and then again I felt fear crawl up my spine. In the back of my mind a voice was telling me that I did have to keep an eye out, Hojo was not stable when I felt him. I felt a little sick to my stomach when I thought of meeting Hojo again, of him finding me. The sliding door opened breaking me out of my thoughts about my last month in the hellish relationship with Hojo.
InuYasha walked over to where I was sitting, a frown on his face as he sat and wordlessly pulled me on to his lap. My eyes went wide when I felt his breath right on my neck, his arms pulling me closer to him as he growled deep in his chest. All at once my memories vanished into thin air, my fear disappeared, and my body relaxed in to his strong embrace where I felt safe. His scent filled my nose making me very sleepy as the rumbling in his chest got a bit louder. His hands where caressing my hair making me boneless. He moved his face from my neck only so I could press my face into his and inhale deeply his unique fragrance feeling utter peace fill me. I truly did trust this man far more than maybe I should but right now that didn't matter to me, the only thing that mattered was the feeling of protection he made me feel, so much so that I didn't even noticed that I was falling asleep.
~InuYasha POV~
When I came outside and her scent hit my nose, my demon didn't think twice about it and he took control of my actions.
She had the scent of sadness, hurt and a bit of fear surrounding her. She should NEVER smell like that, my demon absolutely refused to accept those emotions coming off of our mate. I went to her automatically; my duty to calm and reassure my mate was the only thing on my mind. Pulling her on to my lap I growled low in my throat when I first felt her surprise when I nuzzled her neck then felt I was in heaven when she relaxed against me. My growling vibrated from me until her natural vanilla cookie scent surrounded her once again pulling my face from her neck I wanted to howl in triumph when I felt her nose nuzzle my neck in return and inhale my scent. Since she was half asleep she was unconsciously responding to my demon like an Inu female would her mate. She relaxed even further once she did that, as if my scent alone calmed her to the point where she fell asleep. Keeping her within the confines of my arms I got up and decided to lay her down so she could get some sleep.
"We still need to go back to my place" I looked down to see Rin sitting really close to my brother.
"I will follow you" I said moving in to the living "Shippo grab Kaggie's stuff and take it to my car, you're driving" I said moving towards the front of my house knowing that he will follow.
"Whoa! Hold on there" came the voice of Sango "Why is Kagome sleeping in your arms?" she said running up to me.
I growled at her "Keep your voice down you'll wake her" I hissed at her "She was tired this morning remember? I have a fireplace outside, she fell asleep"
Sango looked at me, she was about to say something when Ayame put a hand on her shoulder.
"Sango, let it go" she said then looked at me "Don't provoke him right now…just don't okay"
"Wha…?" said Sango as I moved past her and headed to my car, my mate cradled to my chest. Kagome murmured something that sounded strangely like my name before her arms snaked around my neck, holding me to her closer. Purring loudly I nuzzled to top of her head affectionately, if it where up to me I would march my butt straight upstairs and into my bedroom, place my mate on my bed and crawl in next to her.
I was sure Ayame knew what was going on between Kagome and me. She must have realized that I was Kagome's mate and that since my mate was sleeping and vulnerable, I would be less than willing to let her out of my arms now that I had her there.
~Sesshomaru POV~
Looking down at the little female that destiny deemed my mate I couldn't help but smirk a bit. She was exquisite. Long thick chocolate brown hair fell mid back, creamy ivory skin smooth and flawless made her look like a porcelain doll. Then there were her eyes. A beautiful light brown that was speckled with green making them appear almost hazel. They were full of light, and innocence making me want to pull her into my embrace and nuzzle her face and neck until he reeked of me.
She was smart, funny…..a bit free spirited but even then I found it was so refreshing and endearing. Never in my life did I imagine that my mate would be a human woman, I thought my demon would have chosen a youkai female, one that was from the same circles that ran with. As I watched Rin laugh at the stunned expression on Sango as she looked at Kagome and InuYasha I was more than happy that it did not. When InuYasha brought Kagome over for the first time, I remembered feeling jealously for my little brother for the first time ever. Kagome was a beautiful human, so small and slight with her laughter and catching personality I was almost considering challenging him for her, but when I saw the way my brother looked at her, I knew I could never do that to him….I may be called cruel and uncaring, but few knew just how much my brother meant to me. In a world of treachery and lies, my brother has always been loyal to me and for that I am grateful.
So I embraced her like a little sister, promising to guard her and protect her as long as she remained loyal to my brother. I laughed when I remembered how all this week my half demon brother had to work to catch up to his little human mate, and how he said that she needed a demon mate to keep up with her.
Now…it looked like fate was laughing at the Taisho males as they decided to set us up with human mates that would be destined to have us all wrapped around their little fingers and instead of being upset or resentful for it…..we welcomed it with open arms. Truly, I questioned the sanity of our demons at times.
"Okay Sessh" came the voice of my mate as she strapped herself into her little car "You are getting fair warning…..I taught myself how to drive…so if you start getting nauseous tough it out"
I raised an eyebrow at her.
"And you think driving like a manic is safe" I said then looked around "In this little deathtrap you call a car?"
"Hey!" she said looking me then caressed her dashboard "there, there…the mean man didn't mean it Betsy"
"Betsy?" I said dryly looking at her and wondered yet again if I might have done something to seriously piss my demon off to have earned me a mate that would no doubt to be the cause to many a headaches.
"Yup, got her as a birthday present from my mom and dad the year they passed away, she's a bit old…and not the most reliable but I wouldn't trade her in for all of the shiny and expensive European cars" she said a bit softy looking at the steering wheel of her 10 year old civic.
Taking back my earlier thoughts, I decided to instead thank my demon. Rin was more than worthy of having the title of mate.
"Well it's not my wellbeing I am concerned about" I said softy to her "my only concern is you Rin. Perhaps, lessons in driving are in order? I would sleep better at night with the knowledge that you are not going to be in any accidents…and hurt Betsy" I said added when I saw her narrow her eyes at me.
"Mmm" she said as she turned on her car "I'll think about it"
I nodded silently then gripped the handle to my door as she turned quickly in the driveway and sped out.
"I don't think your house is going anywhere Rin" I said softy to her, trying to see if I could get her to slow down "How many speeding tickets do you have?" I asked thinking that she surly must have had a few already.
"Ha ha Sessh" she said sarcastically "For your information, I don't have any…..I'm sneaky that way"
I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Oh…okay" she said in exasperation "I have a cousin that works in the court system…she sorta deletes my tickets in exchange for some of Kagome's jewelry"
I barked out a laugh, she was far sneakier than any youkai female.
"And Kagome agrees?" I said with a laugh
"Yup!" she said with a smile as she weaved in and out of traffic until she reached her off ramp.
I noticed how close we were to the ocean and frowned puzzled. Looking at Rin again I wondered if there was more to her than met the eye. I knew for a fact that real estate in this area was expensive, most small houses range in the million dollars and up. As Rin turned into a residential area walking distance to the Del Mar beach area I came to the conclusion that I misjudged Rin. Her house was gray with wood beams; it must have been recently remodeled since it was made to look modern with a covered garage and a balcony on top of the house for entertainment. The house it's self was not huge but it was the location that sold the property. She had a clear view of the ocean from the house.
Hitting the key on her visor the garage she pulled in to a two car garage. Stepping out of the garage I followed her into her home and paused. Rich wooden floors mixed with travertine tile spread the large open area. Wood beams adorned the ceiling as the neutral colors of the large room gave an air of hominess. Walking in further I watched my mate as she took off her shoes then looked back at me.
"Make yourself at home I'll be right back, I'm going to take a bath and change. When InuYasha gets here tell him to put Kagome in the bedroom in the end of that hall" she said pointing to her right then proceeded to walk towards the hallway closest to the large open gallery kitchen.
Shaking my head I walked around, taking note of every picture and every piece of décor, trying to discover who Rin really was. There was a sense of peace here; her scent was on everything making me a bit lightheaded. I decided that if she became my mate, we would spend the majority of our time here. Even though I had a home of my own on the family estate, I had a feeling that Rin was attached to this home and it was my duty as her mate to make her happy after all. Walking towards the hallway where she disappeared I paused as the door to her bedroom stood ajar a bit. Rin was gathering her clothes as she stood in nothing but her bikini. My demon came out full force. She had the most delicious looking body I have ever seen on a female, both demon or human. Closing my eyes I gave the door a small knock making her jump then turn to look at me.
"My apologies" I said in low husky voice trying to reel in my demon "I was exploring your lovely home and walked by your door. You really should close it….especially if a male is in the house"
Rin nodded mute at me, then swallowed. I tasted the air around her and almost groaned out loud. She wanted me as much as I wanted her, but I could smell her hesitation and confusion. She wasn't used to having these feelings and for that I was grateful. Walking close to her I reached out and tucked a strand of her chocolate brown hair behind her ear as I gazed into her hazel eyes. Deciding to test the waters between us I leaned down and gently nuzzled her cheek as I purred contently.
"Do you have any idea how sweet you smell my Rin" I breathed out softy to her then smiled with she stepped closer to me unconsciously as I felt her hands on her arms "Do you accept me? Would you allow me to court you?" I said as I moved down and kissed the skin of her neck making her gasp. She froze for a moment but then relaxed and leaned her head back slightly.
"But…I thought….that relationships betw…"she moaned softly when I scraped my fangs along her neck "Ah….between humans and…demons….where…rare"
Growling I pulled her closer to me as I moved my mouth over hers and took possession of those sweet lips savoring her taste. I knew I couldn't push her too far, she was still new to intimacy, but I would at least scent mark her. Letting my youkai flare out I coated my scent on her thickly as I took control of the kiss plunging deeper until I was backing her towards her bed. My hand roamed over her curvy figure savoring how soft and smooth her skin was, since she still had on her bathing suit I had access to almost all of it.
"Sessh…"she whispered gently as she moved her hands and buried then into my hair "This is crazy" she said with a small laugh as she pulled herself closer to me. I moved from her neck to her lips as I picked her up and laid her on her large bed then joined her.
"What's crazy?" I said low and seductively, wanting to wrap myself around her until I became her world.
"That I just met you" she said as she wrapped her arms around my neck "I just met you….and yet….I don't want to let go" she whispered the last part. I paused then leaned back to look at her.
"You don't have to Rin" I said seriously to her
"That's not the point" she said shaking her head "I shouldn't feel safe in your arms, I shouldn't feel like I've known you my entire life and I shouldn't be tumbling in my bed with you…I don't even know what you do for a living"
I sighed at her "Close our eyes Rin" I said gently to her.
"Why?" she replied slowly.
"Trust me" I said hoping that she would and to my surprise and delight, she did.
"Block everything out" I whispered to her as I moved my body so that I was laying down next to her on my side "Now listen but not with your ears….listen deeply with your soul"
Gently I took one of her hands and held it to my heart as I closed my eyes and let my youkai fan out a bit.
"What do you feel?" I asked softy while I watched the expression on her face change from confusion, surprise and finally to understanding.
"I can feel you…" she said whisper soft "I can feel the person you are; your demon…..recognizes me…."
"You are my mate Rin"
~Rin POV~
I was surrounded by his power and his scent. I could hear his heart beating, so strong and sure, never did it miss a beat or pick up tempo.
I listened deeper, searching for what he was trying to tell me, trying hard not to think about the kiss we just shared and how it instantly ignited a fire within me that I didn't know was there. I could still feel the soft texture of his lips on mine; still taste the sweetness of his breath and tongue.
Never in all my wildest dreams did I think that I would ever kiss a demon. The where untouchable creatures of beauty, grace and power who mated their own kind; every once in a great while you would see a demon and human together, but that was rare, which was why half demons like InuYasha where often still look down on.
I felt a tingling deep within me, it was like a guitar string, taut and strong and it hummed with every beat of Sesshomaru's heart. I took a shallow breath as I felt him within me. How? How could this be possible?
Digging deeper I came face to face with his inner demon. A powerful and deadly beast that could very well kill hundreds if it so choice to. Why would part of Sesshomaru's demon be within me? As I got close I felt it purr louder with every step. Gasping within myself I realized that…it wanted me near him, craved me presence. I discovered who Sesshomaru was. His outside persona was so different than who he was in the inside, misunderstood, and kind hearted. He had so much honor that it made my heart clench, he was an amazing person.
"What do you feel?" I heard his rich honey voice that made my bones turn into goo.
"I can feel you…" I said softy, feeling almost dazed "I can feel the person you are; your demon…..recognizes me…." I realized how true that statement was…but if that was the case then….
"You are my mate Rin"
I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. I remembered taking demonology classes and knew what a mate was to a male demon. A mate was the other half of their soul; it was the one person that the male's inner demon recognized as their soul mate. It was a magical bond, a bond that couldn't be altered or severed. I knew that there could be a challenge for the female and if the male lost she would be forever lost to him, but she would never be able to forget, nor bare children to anyone else other than her true mate.
I opened my eyes, meeting his golden gaze and stared at him with wonder.
"That's why I feel so safe with you" I whispered as I reached up and traced one of his magenta facial markings in awe "Why I don't feel scared knowing that you are laying on my bed, why our kiss felt so….natural and why….I don't want to let you go"
His eyes softened, turning them into molten gold. I noticed that while his face looked like it never showed any emotions….his eyes where a different matter. They shined with the intensity of how much her words affected him.
"Just as I don't want to let you go my Rin" he said as he leaned into my hand and licked my skin making goosebumps appear all over my skin, that touch was so intimate that my cheeks flamed bright red.
"So…where do we go from here?" I asked a little confused now "I mean….I know I feel this bond to you but….I still just met you today plus….I'm human. I thought demons mated with their own kind anyways" I said feeling really lost now.
"We have not control over how our demon chooses as our mate; I was able to find you by scent. Your scent calls out to me, our demons choose the female that would fit it perfectly and without a doubt Rin….you are the perfect woman for me"
I didn't know what to think or say to him.
"I want to give you the chance to know me Rin, have dinner with me tomorrow night" he said with a small smile that melted me. How can I say no to him?
"Okay" I whispered to him feeling dawn to him again. Virgin I may be….but like I had told him earlier, he had some dangerous mojo. He must have able to tell what I was feeling because I suddenly found myself tasting his lips again.
Oh merciful heavens! I was going to be consumed by the flames he was fanning all over my body. I whimpered in my throat a little when he started to move down my neck nibbling and licking. He chuckled then sighed, gave me one last peck on the cheek before getting off of my bed.
"My apologies Rin" he said reaching out to help me to my feet "It was not my intention to suddenly ravish you but understand how delighted I am to have found you after so many years"
I frowned at his words "How old are you?"
"I am 106"
I blinked, I knew demons lived longer but wow, and then a thought occurred to me.
"Wont I die before you?"
He shook his head "When I take you as my mate, your life span will meet to match my own"
Okay….that was a lot to take in at once, I then remembered Kagome.
"How old is InuYasha?"
"He is 56….I know what you're thinking, he's still in high school but understand that our pups grow at a slower pace than your infants"
"How slow?" I asked curiously.
"Let just say that I was happy when InuYasha finally grew out of his 'Terrible Two's' stage, that was the longest 3 and half years of my life" he said in a chuckle.
"What! 3 years?!" I said in horror.
He smirked at me "Grow use to the idea my Rin, I plan on having a pup with you as soon as you agree to be mine"
I gulped feeling suddenly afraid. It wasn't the possessive tone or that he was already deciding my life for me….it was my reaction. I felt that if he asked me…I would not have the will power to deny him anything! Hells just looking up at this tall godlike male in front of me made me want to suddenly climb into bed and let him impregnate me if it made him happy.
I heard him growl softy at me, looking up I saw the fire in his eyes.
"Rin, please find something else to think about because if you don't you willfind yourself in that bed, naked and beneath me" he said with a low voice that made me shiver at the image that ran though my head.
Moving closer to me I swallowed thickly.
"Please don't" I whispered softly to him as I backed away a little "Not right now…..I don't think I would…..be able to….deny you if you came closer"
Closing my eyes I shuddered when I heard the growl coming off of him, his scent was thick in the air making me feel like I was on a cloud. I felt his hand caress my cheek while his other grazed the skin of my waist.
"You would not deny me if where to claim you right now?" he said seductively. My thoughts scrambled so I shook my head mutely at him "You would not stop me if I lay my claim on you…over…and over again until you are well pupped? You would allow me this?"
God help me, but I would allow him. I would allow him to love me, to take my body as his own until I was so fat with his child I would not doubt who I belonged to, but on the flip side….I was also frightened of those feelings. I leaned into him and laid my cheek on his strong chest as I shook a little.
I felt his strong arms wrap around me, making me feel safe and warm.
"I am jesting with you my Rin" he said then kissed he top of my head "You are not ready and I care enough for you to give you the time you deserve, but know this" he said suddenly then kneeled down on one knee and looked at me "When the day comes and you allow me to claim you…..you need to also be ready to be with child as well for I will not stop taking you until you carry my child within your womb"
"This…is...so surreal Sesshomaru" I said with a little laugh "I mean dear gods! I just met you today…and already….." I stopped gave him a little smile as I reached out and brushed some of his bangs from his face, my fingertips lingering on his crescent moon "I can't imagine not seeing you again, not having you near me…..it's this what being a mate feels like?"
Smiling at me he looked so regal and elegant that I felt like maybe I fell asleep and this was all just a wonderful dream.
"Yes my little one, this is what a lifemate feel like. We have a bond to each other that draws us near…..just look at Kagome and InuYasha"
At the mention of my friend I gasped as I remembered what Kagome told me how she felt around him.
"You mean…..InuYasha is Kagome's mate? Does she know?"
Sesshomaru shook his head "He wants her to know him first, form a stronger bond with her since she is so young, he loves her and is giving her time to fall in love with him"
I frowned then pouted "So…you don't love me enough to give me time?"
He chuckled then pulled me into his arms "You are more mature than Kagome love, your heart was ready for me to find you, the bond that we have is unique and cannot be compared to theirs. Do not doubt my feelings for you my Rin"
Smiling down at him I nodded, feeling a little giddy at having captured this strong and beautiful demons attention.
"Okay" I said softy "Now…can you wait for me in the living room so that I can take a shower?"
An evil glint entered his eyes "Or" he said standing up then leaned down and bite my neck gently then licked it. I had to hold on to his forearms for support, since my knees instantly turned into jello "I can join you and help you…scrub your back".
I gulped feeling my head swim a little when I imaged him without clothing.
Good grief I was going to spontaneously combust!
He chuckled darkly "I see the idea is….pleasing to you, such a responsive little mate" he breathed then nipped my earlobe, I shuddered violently "I am indeed most lucky to have found you….my little Rin"
"Ah…" was all I managed to say, I really didn't think my mind could form a complete sentence if my life depended on it.
Releasing me, he stood an arm's length "Go take your shower, I will wait for you in the living room…Oh and don't say anything to Kagome, it is InuYasha's responsibility to let her know that she is his mate"
I nodded to him then bite my lip "But can I tell her about us?...ah…..what do I say we are?" I said feeling a bit shy all of the sudden.
He smiled gently at me "You can tell them that we are mates or that we are dating, which ever you choose, but if they ask I will not lie, I am proud to call you mate"
I nodded to and stood rooted to the carpet as he exited my room and this time made sure to close the door behind him.
Wow….just wow.
~Sesshomaru POV~
After…reluctantly leaving her room I moved to the living area and saw that Sango and Ayame where still here. They were freshly showered and now sitting on the couch watching what looked like 'The vampire diaries' I shuddered.
"Well, well….what do we have here?" said Sango with a little smile "I thought you were gone since you weren't in the living room. Seems that you Tashio brothers are rather bold when it comes to the women you are after"
I scolded at the girl "What this Sesshomaru does with his mate is no one's business, and what do you mean insulting my pack?"
Sango's and Ayame's eyes went a bit wide.
"Rin is your mate?" said Ayame then sighed dreamily "Oh...I can wait to find mine"
"Whoa" said Sango sitting up a bit more "So if Rin is your mate…. then is Kagome…" she trailed off looking off towards another hallway.
"Yes" I said impatiently "But it is not your place to say anything to her until InuYasha deems it the right time"
Ayame then looked at Sango "That is why I was telling you to leave him alone…your lucky he didn't bite your head off"
"No wonder he's been acting so….committed to her" she said "Oh this makes perfect sense now!" she then groaned and smacked her forehead "And here I was doubting his feelings for her and trying to get him away from her….I feel like such a bitch now"
I didn't bother to make a remark to her statement it was then that I sniffed and knew that my little brother was somewhere here "Speaking of InuYasha, where is he?"
Ayame giggled and pointed down the hallway "The second door to your left…with Kagome. He walked into the house and went straight in the bedroom, shut the door and locked it. That was over half an hour ago…I have a feeling he fell asleep with Kagome since she was knocked out when he brought her in here"
"Hn" I smirked inwardly, InuYasha's demon and instincts for half demon have always been strong, almost as strong as a full blooded demon. I was both impressed and proud of him.
~InuYasha POV~
Once we reached Rin's house I got out of the car as gently as I could and walked in, sniffed around and found a bedroom that had Kagome's scent in it.
"Hey! Where are you going? And where the hell is Rin?" called out Sango. I didn't bother to answer her, she was getting on my nerves right about now, as for Rin….I could hear her and Sesshomaru making out in what I would assume was Rin's' bedroom. I smirked 'well…didn't he work fast' I thought to myself as the scents of their arousals hit my nose.
Walking into the empty bedroom I shut it and then locked in Sango's face.
"Hey! You can't just lock yourself in there with Kagome you pervert!"
I growled loudly from the other side of the door then relaxed when Ayame pulled her away from the door.
"Leave him alone Sango….trust me…you don't want to get him even more pissed then he already is"
Satisfied that Sango wasn't going to try and take my mate from me I moved Kagome to the bed, pulled the covers down, and then laid her down. I removed her shoes I threw them on the floor then went to remove my own. Climbing into the bed with her I pulled her into my arms and sighed contently, this is where she belonged, where she should always sleep.
She murmured then nuzzled my chest "Mmmm…Yasha…"
I chuckled as I played with her hair, feeling peace settle into my bones and a sense of belonging spread throughout my body.
I closed my eyes briefly napping but still kept my senses open. I could now hear my brother talking to Sango and Ayame and grinned when I heard Sango's' remarks. Yes, she had been acting like a bitch but I figured I could forgive her for it; she was overly protective of my mate and had her heart in the right place. Snuggling deeper into the mattress with Kagome plastered safety to me I didn't even realize when I fell asleep, but the next thing I felt was Kagome stirring in my arms as she stretched and yawned. I didn't even realize how comprising our position was.
I had my face buried in her neck….a little too close to her chest, one of her legs was bent in-between mine, my arms where wrapped around her body while my hands were dangerously close to her plump little bottom while she on the other hand had some time during our nap, managed to get her hands under my shirt and where resting on my bare back.
Before I could peel myself away from her, I felt her giggle.
"Okay…. I'm having déjà vu because…didn't I already wake up with you like this last week?" she said with a laugh making me chuckle a bit then pulled her closer and nuzzled her neck.
"Not my fault you smell so delicious plus your cuddly and soft" I said not even bothering letting go of her.
She giggled again softy then started to trace patterns on my skin with her nails making my skin break out in goosebumps. Okay….maybe this was not a good idea after all.
"So what's on the agenda for today?" I said trying to distract myself from how good her hands felt on my bare skin.
"Nothing, we were just going to lounge or maybe go out to a club if the mood strikes us" she said with a shrug. I wanted to snarl at the last part of her comment. Like hell I was going to allow my mate to go dancing with other men.
"Lounging sounds good to me" I said then glanced at the window "The weather calls for it too"
Outside the clouds started to get darker and darker, there was a storm brewing. Following my gaze she sat up on the bed and smiled "Oh…I love cloudy rainy days"
she then looked down at me "What's your favorite dessert?"
I raised an eyebrow at her "Ah….why?"
"Because I love to bake when the weather is like this" she said with a giddy laugh, she was practically jumping with excitement.
"Why don't you just bake something that everyone likes?" I asked, wanting to hear the reason behind why she asked me what I liked. And she didn't disappoint me.
"Because I don't care about pleasing the girls…..I want to make something for you, I asked you didn't I?" she then blushed "You have been so nice to me that I want to thank you"
I smirked "Desert is not the thank you that I want….but if you want to make me something, I love apple pie" I said my mouth already watering.
She tilted her head "What is your idea of a thank you?" she asked innocently.
Chuckling I pulled on her arm; she lost her balance and fell on her back on the bed. I turned to my side and caressed her cheek.
"This" I whispered then leaned down and gently kissed her full lips. She froze at first, but then all but melted in my arms. I licked her lips, asking for entrance and growled low in my chest when she shyly opened. I didn't push the kiss, didn't make demands just savored her taste, and scent. I felt her hands in my hair as she tilted her head, reached out and started to kiss me back. Here in this dark room, we blocked out the world, it no longer mattered that we only met a week ago, my past reputation didn't matter either, I felt whole and complete in the arms of my mate as she kissed me gently. The only sounds heard for a long time was our joined breaths and our heart beats as we crossed the line from friends to something more.
I caressed her face with one hand as my other reached out and laced my fingers with hers. I didn't want this moment end, I wanted to keep her in this room, away from everyone because here in this room…..right now….she was all mine.
With one last kiss we broke apart and looked in each other's eyes.
"I have wanted to do that ever since last Monday" I said softy "I don't want you to think that you are a fling or that this was not special to me"
She blushed prettily "I know what you mean. I have never made out with someone like this before"
I raised one eyebrow at her "Really? Never?"
She shook her head "I was always…repulsed. My last boyfriend use to say I was useless because I couldn't respond to him" she shrugged "I thought there was something wrong with me"
I growled when I head what another man called her, she was not useless.
"Never…and I repeat" I said sternly "ever believe that you are anything but amazing Kaggie. You are not useless, it was his fault not yours, besides" I said with a smirk then leaned down and kissed her deeply until she was breathless "You respond to me perfectly"
She gave me a little breathy laugh, her blush making her look so fuckin tempting.
"You do seem to have…..a certain effect on me" she said "So…..what now?"
I rolled my eyes at her "Honey, I wouldn't kiss you if I didn't plan on asking you to date me…exclusively. Come on, I mean….I know I had a reputation when I was younger, but I changed. I know what I want and I want you to be with me"
Her smile was so happy that I was knocked senseless for a while.
"Really? You're asking me to be your girlfriend?"
I laughed "No….girlfriend sounds too juvenile but yeah I am…... I just don't like the word 'girlfriend' Kaggie, you are my mate" I said.
"Mate" she said experimenting with the word "I think I like it better than girlfriend too" she then frowned "You don't think it's too soon do you?"
I shook my head "I'm half demon Kaggie, which means that I rely on my sense of smell for a lot of things, for instance I can smell a lie or when someone has been around a certain gender"
Her eyes went wide "You can smell a lie? How is that?" she asked getting out of bed then went to grab her stuff for her shower.
I shrugged getting closer to her "I can't really explain it, but it's a foul, sour odor. People who normally don't lie that often smell worse when they do lie than someone who does it repeatedly, it's still there, just every faint"
"Wow….so….If I were to say to you…..I don't think your gorgeous?" the lie coming out of her mouth was so strong and sour it made me flinch.
"Yeah…..don't do that…..it's a very unpleasant smell sweetie, especially since I happen to love your natural scent" I said shaking my gently to get rid of the smell.
"What do I smell like?" she asked tilting her head to one side already distracted. Smiling at her I pulled her close as I leaned down and kissed her cheek then found my path to her lips once more. I felt like an addict, I was addicted to her taste and the knowledge that I now had the right to kiss her any damn time I wanted was a heady drug. I barely heard the sound of her stuff hitting the floor as she leaned into me. Sighing I pulled away and kissed her nose.
"To answer our question, you smell like vanilla and caramel, warm and delicious…you smell like a sugar cookie to me" I said inhaling her neck then ran little kisses until I straightened and smiled down at her.
"Really? A sugar cookie? Well no wonder you're always nuzzling my neck" she said with a little shy laugh.
"That is one reason" I said then bent down and picked up her stuff and handed it to her "Go take your shower, I'll wait for you in the living room" I said giving her one last lingering kiss. She didn't want to pull away as much as I didn't want to either. She tasted so damn good.
"Go" I breathed against her lips "Before I change my mind and join you in the shower"
She blushed and ran in to the bathroom making me chuckle "One day Kagome…..one day"
Stretching I unlocked the door and walked out into the hall way. I could hear the girls talking over the television, the smell of hot chocolate made me shake my head.
Sesshomaru had a thing for chocolate, I had to hide it from him….it was poison for dogs, but since he says he already had poison in his blood it shouldn't harm him. Yeah fuckin right. I was not going to take that risk with my brother's life.
Walking in I glared at him then looked at Rin who was sitting next to him on the end of the long gray sofa. She had on some black yoga pants and a white v neck shirt, her wet hair pulled up in a ponytail. Her feet where bare and her legs where draped along his lap where she nursed a mug of her own.
"How many has he had already?" I asked irritated that he would risk his heath like that.
"Ah…that's his first, but I was just about to make another….why?" she asked confused.
"InuYasha…" growled my brother but I ignored him.
"Well he gets cut off a two Rin, chocolate is poison to dogs…remember?" I said then sat in the empty two seated sofa.
"Oh!" she said then looked guilty as she looked at him "I'm sorry! I totally forgot!" she tried to take his mug away but he simply downed the last remains.
"Rin, I already have poison in my system" he said then glared at me "As I have told that to InuYasha many times"
I snorted "Yeah well…you shouldn't be taking a chance like that. You have natural defenses to poisons but chocolate is not a poison, so we don't know what will happen if you have too much Sessh…..the doctors told you that"
Sango and Ayame looked from me to Sesshomaru then giggled.
"Ahw…that is sooo sweet! Baby brother is trying to protect big brother" cooed Sango. Sesshomaru growled at her but didn't say anything.
"One more Sessh….but that it" I said "I swear….first it's dad with the coffee addiction and then you with the chocolate" I grumbled as I got up and walked over to Sessh and extended my hand.
Giving me a glare, which I knew he didn't mean, handed me his mug.
"I can make it" said Rin getting ready to get up but I shook my head at her.
"Don't worry about, just relax….besides, I know how he likes to drink it" I muttered I could tell he was about to say something but I waved him off "Yeah yeah…I know…I'll put cinnamon in it" as I walked into the kitchen ignoring the 'Ahw' that was coming from the girls.
True, my brother didn't smile a lot, and rarely laughed, but that is only because he is just not that good in expressing his emotions. I think it's a DaiYoukai thing. For as long as I could remember, my brother has always been a shadow always right by me, protecting me when I was younger. When father was away on business and my mom had her social events, it was Sessh who stayed with me. Mom and dad never called for nannies or babysitters when I was toddler because Sessh wouldn't tolerate anyone near me when I was so weak and defenseless, saying that he didn't trust what they would do to me since I was only half demon. The first time they did call a demon babysitter was when they had to leave for the weekend, father had been summoned to help with an issue for the council, and they didn't tell Sesshomaru about it, he had been in collage at the time. He had come home, thinking that they were going to leave later on that night and nearly lost it when he walked in to find a strange female cat demon snarling in our home and me whimpering and crying hiding in a little space in between the wall and the entertainment center. The babysitter had managed to claw at my arms and legs before apparently I bit her and ran to hide.
I don't remember it since I was only two at the time, but from what I heard…..Sessh ripped her to pieces. He smelled my blood and heard the babysitter from hell calling me a filthy breed then transformed in the family room. My mom said that when they came back they were shocked to see the blood and body parts of the cat demon and a fully transformed Sesshomaru in the living room while I was curled up on his fur asleep with a bottle of milk in hand. He didn't calm down when he killed her, he would only transform back to his human body to feed me and change me then would transform back to protect me since the alpha, my dad, was not home. He was traumatized by that my father told me and ever since then Sessh was ruthless on teaching me on how to defend myself..
Adding six marshmallows to the hot cup of chocolate I chuckled and shook my head. Yeah, my brother was a prick on most days….but we had a bond that would surprise most people. Getting a glass of milk for me, I walked in the living room and handed Sessh the hot cup of cocoa, noticed that Kagome was now sitting on the loveseat, her hair pulled up in a messy bung, her feet up on the couch with a blanket laid on her lap. Moving towards her I sat next to her and pulled her to me, tucking her under my arm.
"You cold?" I said softy to her
"No….I just like snuggling in this weather" she said with a blush.
Sango and Ayame looked out and nodded "Yeah…..this is defiantly couch potato weather" said Sango.
I noticed we had few members missing "Hey…where is Shippo and Miroku?"
Sango rolled her eyes "They said something about getting food, but that was over an hour ago"
"Yeah" said Ayame "They took your car by the way" she said looking at me.
I groaned "Great" I muttered. Pulling out my phone I pressed Miroku's number and waited for him to answer.
Hello?
"Where is my car dipshit" I growled
I'm heading back already…..geez, we couldn't decide what we wanted to eat then Shippo wanted to go home and take a shower so I did the same
"What did you guys end up buying?" I said as I handed Kaggie my glass of milk since she pointed at it and watched her drink it with gusto, oh well.
I couple of pizzas from California pizza kitchen
Sesshomaru, of course hearing this called out "They better bring back a Sicilian one"
"Yeah Yeah…." I said to him "Hey did you dorks buy a Sicilian for Sessh?"
Yeah, I want to live today thank you very much.
Chuckling ended the call "Okay ladies….pizza it is"
"Oh! How about we watch a movie?" said Ayame as she leaped up and ran into what I assumed was her room then she ran out with three DVD's "I have…battleship, the avengers and…..eclipse"
Both Sessh and I shouted out "No Twilight!"
Sango cracked up as did Rin who gave a small peck on Sessh's cheek "Oh come on…I haven't seen it yet and I need to if I want to finish the series…please? For me?" she said batting her lashes. I saw my brother close his eyes, I could tell he was going to cave in to her…..then I remembered my mate.
Oh oh…..
Looking down at her, I saw her pretty little pout, my eyes went wide….in fear…ah crap…I was going to be stuck watching the stupid girly movie…I just know it.
"Please?" she said softy then leaned in to nuzzle my neck a bit "I haven't seen it either…please baby?"
I groaned out load then sighed in defeat which she must have caught because she gave me little kisses on my cheek and neck before she smiled at the girls.
"Eclipse it is girls!" she said.
I caught my brother's eyes and nodded in agreement.
Our mates' where going to be the death of us.
As soon as the guys got there with five boxes of large pizzas my and Sesshomaru pulled Miroku and Shippo aside.
"You two are going to stay and watch this blasted movie with the girls and if either one of you leaves before it is over….I don't care if it's for the restroom I will happily pump enough poison up your asses that you won't be shitting for months…..got it?" said Sesshomaru in a cold tone while glaring at the two in front us.
I laughed and patted my brothers back "I think you got the point across to them good enough, nice job bro" I continued laughing as I took a slice of white pizza and a coke to my mate and sat down with her. She was pretty much in the same position as Rin, her back resting on the arm rest, while her legs where draped across my lap.
"So….are you two an item now?" said Sango taking a bite out of her pizza. Her and Miroku where now on the loveseat while Ayame and Shippo took a bunch of large over stuffed pillows and threw them on the floor where they laid out on their stomachs.
I looked over to my mate "Do want to tell them or should I?" I said with a little smile, she nodded for me to do it.
Turning back to our friends I pulled her closer to me "Yeah…we're together exclusively now. Kagome is my girl so if any of you get bombarded tomorrow at school, feel free to let them know that Kagome is mine and that I am hers and that won't be changing any time soon" I said with a cocky smirk.
"Whoa…." said Miroku "People are going to have field day, the football captain settling down in a serious relationship"
I shrugged "What can I say" I looked down at Kaggie and gave her a quick soft kiss "I knew what I wanted the moment I saw her"
Kagome blushed and buried her face in my chest embarrassed.
For the whole day, we watched the movies, Sesshomaru kept growling every time Edward came on the screen making Shippo and Miroku crack up until Rin caressed his face gently and whispered in his ear
"You are my Edward, and I would never dream of wanting another man but you"
I hid my laugh as a purr that came off of my brother while he kissed his mate. For being a human, Rin had the most dangerous demon in California nice and tamed.
