~Rin POV~ Thursday~
I know I should have called him ahead of time but I wanted to surprise him.
I haven't seen him since Tuesday and I was already missing him, but he was a busy man and I felt we haven't been in our relationship that long for me to make demands on him. He slept over on Sunday and spent Monday with me. We had gone down to La Jolla and just walked around, talked and got to know each other. At night he took me to an amazing seafood restaurant overlooking an ocean sunset that served the best food I had ever eaten.
It was so funny. I had always imaged myself with someone more animated or someone who was close to my own personality but even though Sesshomaru was a bit stoic and reserved I found him fascinating. He was so much more that what met the eye.
He was passionate, fierce and seductive. I was so sure that when it came to him, still waters ran deep and I was not sure how long I was going to be able to hold off the inevitable. There was no guessing where I stood in his life, he made no effort to hide it and he was not ashamed that his mate ended up being human either.
While in the restaurant a demon had come over to our table. I guess he was a work associate because he seemed to know Sesshomaru and sat down at our table. Sesshomaru on the other hand did not seemed pleased by this and it turned out that he had a good reason for it. The demon made a sneering comment on how Sesshomaru's mighty blood line seemed to have a fascination with creating half breeds and how disappointed all of the powerful full blooded youkai women would be when they find out that he was mated to a human.
"But it's hardly your fault Sesshomaru, it is your demon who has grown weak" he said with a cold sneer turning to look at me flashing me with his cold green eyes full of hate "Besides, who is to say that your human can't have an….accident?"
I was paralyzed with fear. I had heard about youkai who were still 'purists' and where violently against any associations with the human race but I have never run into one before.
I was not sure what Sesshomaru did but one second that youkai was glaring at me the next he was grimacing in pain. It took me a moment to see that Sesshomaru eyes had bled red while he focused on the demon all the while appearing to be still and calm.
"You will do well to keep your opinions to yourself, least I give you a taste of how weak I am" Sesshomaru had said in a very low calm voice that even gave me the chills "And if any harm is to befall my mate I can guarantee you that I will be looking for you and your family first"
The demon left so quickly that I was shocked and speechless for a long moment. I had then started to question my ability to be with him. Will he always face this kind of ridicule? Would his powers always be questioned if I did let him mark me as his mate? What about our children? They would be hanyou and I knew that they had it hard sometimes. Did I really want to put my babies through that kind of racism?
The rest of that evening I remained quiet. Questions were swirling all around me, doubts and fears until he asked for the check and we exited the restaurant.
Once we got into my car he turned and looked at me.
"Don't" was the only word he said to me before I started to cry.
"You're always going to be questioned. You won't get a moments peace if you mate with me Sesshomaru" I took a deep breath "And what of our children? Will they always be put down because of their mixed blood?"
He pulled me into a hug "Don't make your decision based on one moronic demon's beliefs my Rin. InuYasha may have it hard at times but with the guidance and training of my father and me he is stronger than most full demons. He has friends that accept him and even found himself a mate. InuYasha is happy in life, he's strong, he thrives and he is intelligent and kami knows that boy was never without female companionship….I blame those ears of him, they always attracted quite a bit of ladies. So what makes you think that our children's lives will be any different? They will have a strong pack behind them for support and strength and I myself will train any son's that we may have Rin. Do not give up on us so soon"
I let him take away my insecurities and fears. I still didn't let him mate me but he did sleep in the same bed with me though I had a feeling he was trying to seduce me. Dear lord in heaven that man could kiss like nobody's business.
I looked at my phone and grinned. Okay I had called his secretary and she told me that he only had a 40 minute window from one meeting to his next one and he had no time for lunch and on top of that the 40 minute window he did have, he had to spend it reading over a contract for the next meeting. Mercy Sessh needed a vacation I thought as I got out of my car and took a hold of the hot food bag. I had ordered him lunch from a steak house that I knew cooked a mean porterhouse and walked towards the elevators.
Today I had some black form fitting slacks and a jewel green silk sleeveless shirt that wrapped around my waist and tied to one side along with some black flats. My hair was pulled back in high knot paired off with a matching green headband. I looked young and preppy; I didn't think it was right to show up at his company wearing jeans.
Once I was up on the top floor I smiled at the receptionist.
"Hi my name is Rin, I'm here to see Ruby" I said asking for Sesshomaru's secretary. She was in on my little surprise.
"Oh yes…she had mentioned that you would be in" said the perky girl in glasses before dialing Ruby's number.
Ruby came all but bouncing around the corner.
"It is so nice to meet you Rin!" she said pulling me into a hug then told me to follow her "I have been working for Sesshomaru for over 5 years now and let me tell you…I am so happy that his mate didn't turn out to be one of those snobby full youkai socialists" she said
"You and me both" I said making her laugh.
"Okay, he is due to come out of this meeting in….five minutes" she said opening the door to his office and cleared out a space on his desk then turned and handed me some stapled papers "Here is the contract he needs to go over for the next meeting as well. I will be back in shortly with some ice tea; you set up in the meantime"
"Go it"
I unzipped the insulated food back and took out a placemat that had been lying on top of the heated dinner plate. Soon I had arranged a nice medium rare piece of prime steak on the plate with roasted potatoes and butternut squash along with a spring mix salad. I placed the silverware next the plate just as Ruby came in with a glass of ice tea and a cloth napkin.
"Okay all set" I said with a smile then watched as Ruby walked out of the office in time to open the door for Sesshomaru.
He walked in and gave me a little smirk "I thought I smelled my little mate" he said making my heart pitter patter a little.
Holy moley he looked damn good in a suit!
I walked up to him and pulled him down and gave him a long deep kiss. Oh how I missed him…even if it's only been a day and a half.
"I have a surprise for you" I said taking his hand and guided him to his chair. He looked at the food on the plate then at me.
"You knew I would have time to eat" he stated then sat down.
"I knew" I said "You will eat and I will read out loud the contract you needed to review and tell me where you need me to highlight or make any notes" I said taking the contract and a highlighter.
He sat back and looked at me, his golden eyes melted to a liquid gold "If you keep spoiling me like this I won't be able to hold back my demon from you very long" he said huskily making my cheeks flush bright red.
"Shush and eat" I ordered suppressing the urge to fan myself with the documents in hand.
For the next 30 minutes I read pausing whenever he would tell me to circle a section and make a note with a comment or question before I would resume. He ate the steak making a comment that he was surprised that I had ordered it perfectly cooked.
"You're a demon" I said with a shrug "I figured your liked your cow stilling mooing a bit"
"Indeed"
We were done with 10 minutes to spare before he had to go into his next appointment in which he thanked me for the meal then got up and walked around the desk towards me. I had a sudden urge to run. The look he was giving me was pure predatory and hungry….but not for food.
"Now for desert" he whispered to me. He leaned his body in placing his hands on the arms rests of the chair efficiently trapping me.
"Sesshomaru…..your meeting" I said a little breathlessly against his lips. I felt like my heart was going to come out of my chest.
"Damn the meeting"
He kissed me with such a hungry desire that I was knocked senseless. Moaning against his lips I buried my fingers into his long silver hair and kissed him back with just as much passion. I couldn't deny that I wanted him, was developing some strong feelings for him that it scared me a bit. Never have I ever let anyone come close to my guarded heart before. After my mom and dad died I had been left alone with vast fortune, unfortunately for me…that's when the true colors of many family members came out. I experienced so much greed, evil and back stabbing that I cut myself off from everyone. I couldn't understand how my parents who were such nice people could have such ugly relatives.
He pulled me up by my waist, turning me until I was sitting on his desk. I didn't even think twice about it. I wrapped my legs around his waist as his lips trailed down my throat, his fangs scraping my delicate skin ever so often making me gasp and whimper against him. I felt like my body was being consumed in flames. I could hear his growls as he ravaged my neck; his beast was close to the surface.
Oh gods, we had to stop before he decided to claim me right here on his desk.
"Sessh" I said but even to my ears that sounded like I just moaned out his name. He claimed my mouth again, his tongue dominating my mine in a fiery dance that just made me even more painfully aware of just how much I wanted this man. I wanted him, all of him, is mind, heart and body. I wanted to own him just like he owned me.
With one last growl he broke us apart and I was relieved to see him breathing just as hard as I was.
"You are tempting me far too much my mate" he said leaning his forehead to mine taking a deep breathing. He reached up and cupped my face in his large and very deadly hands but I didn't fear this tall handsome demon in front of me. My heart wouldn't allow me to fear him, I was afraid for my loss of freedom to such a domineering male but never him, Sesshomaru, the man.
He kissed my forehead making me smile.
"I look forward to his weekend" he said finally "I have missed you my little mate"
I placed my hand on top of his "Me too" said then snorted delicately "I would think so…I drove almost 2 hours just to see you"
"You didn't have classes today?" he asked pulling apart. I blushed and jumped off his desk. Oh great…I was going to have some very naughty fantasies about his desk now.
He must have had the same thoughts because he leaned to whisper in my ear "When the day comes when you are my mate in body I will take great pleasure in ravishing you on his very desk so that I may be able to have your scent on the wood grain for when I am away from home"
My knees gave out and I kneeled on the floor, all of my breath left my body making a bit woozy. The man was dangerous.
I heard his deep grumbling chuckle before picking me up off the floor into his arms. Placing a claw hand under my chin he lifted my face and gave me soft kiss.
"You have the most beautiful reactions to my declarations of intimacy my little Rin" he said with another chuckle.
"Oh yeah…simply spectacular reactions" I said sarcastically then laughed when he scowled at me.
The knock at the door signaled the end of our brief time together. I sighed but knew that I would see him soon. I fixed his tie and made sure his hair was in order before giving him a peck on the cheek.
"Knock them dead" I said then frowned thinking that statement over. This was Sesshomaru we were talking about "Not literally….but you know" I said making Ruby stifle a laugh.
"Very funny Rin" he said taking the contract from my hands "I will call you tonight"
Once he was gone I picked up the plates and silverware and put it all back in the back I brought in.
"That was very successful" I said to Ruby who took the empty glass of tea.
"I should say so. I have never seen him so happy and relaxed on a busy day like this" she said smiling at me "I hope to see you soon around here"
I winked at her "Count on it" then walked out my heart soaring.
I was dangerously close to loving that man with all of my being….that was if I didn't already.
~Kagome POV~ Friday 5am~
Why…oh why was someone calling me at this ungodly hour.
Thank goodness that InuYasha, for once, wasn't here with me…I think he would have thrown my poor phone across the room by now. Ever since Monday he's been here…expect for today. He said something about his dad starting to foam at the mouth. Honestly it now felt a bit…..weird for him to not sleep next to me…don't know if I should be a little worried about that.
Looking at the phone I wondered why in the world Rin was calling me right now.
"Hello? Rin? Is everything okay?" I asked a bit worried because honestly what other reason would she be calling me at this hour if there wasn't an emergency?
"Oh my gosh Kagome you got to get up and get ready right now! I am heading over there!"
I sat up in bed now completely confused and a bit alarmed.
"Please tell me you're not sleep driving" I said into my phone getting up and nearly tripping on one of InuYasha's shirts that was on the floor by my bed.
"No you ditz..did you forget what where we were supposed to go this weekend?" she said as I heard her honk at someone "Move damnit!"
"Whoa Rin! Slow down…where ever we need to go I rather you get there late then none at all!" I said into my phone as I turned on the light in my closet and took the shirt that was lying on the floor and hung it up…along with the rest of his clothes. You would think he just moved in. He's already got half of his clothes here anyway…along with his shoes, socks, hair products, deodorant and razors.
"He's taking up half of my closet space" I muttered catching Rin's' attention.
"Who is? InuYasha?"
"Who else?" I said rolling my eyes "You're actually lucky that out of this whole week today just happened to be the one day he spent in his own house"
"Really? Wow" she said softy "You guys are getting really serious then huh? But we have time to talk more about this after you get ready and don't forget to pack an overnight bag"
Then it dawn on me.
"Shoot!" I said "Don't tell me I forgot about the expo?"
"Yes!"
"Okay..okay…I will be downstairs in a jiffy" I said hanging up my phone then pulled out my cream and tan soft large carryall bag and started to load it with some jeans, silk blouses, skirts and took a pair of black peek toe shoes. Dashing to the bathroom I took my makeup and necessities before pulling on some dark jeans, boots, and a cream peasant shirt.
I made sure I had my ID, wallet and passport before I got my bag and headed down the hall to my mom's room and knocked.
"Mom" I said then opened the door "I'm heading to Denver with Rin. Remember that blacksmith's expo I told you about back in Phoenix? Well that's this weekend….I'm sorry! I completely forgot!" I said
She sat up in bed and laughed "I didn't…have a good time and don't forget to call me when you get there. I will call your school"
"Oh shoot that's right…..it's Friday" I said then thought of InuYasha "Oh oh….." I breathed "Oh he is not going to be happy about this" I muttered but my mom already know to what I was referring to.
"I suggest you don't call him until you're on the plane dear…there isn't much he can do when your thousands of feet in the air"
"You wanna make a bet?" I said under my breath then flashed her with a smile "Okay I'm off…and tell Souta! Bye mom"
"Bye dear"
As soon as I walked down stairs I heard Rin's car. Walking out I placed my bag in the back seat of her car and got in.
"You realize the guys are going to kill us right?" I said with a grin.
Rin shrugged her shoulders "Oh well, as much as I love being with Sessh, they both need to learn that this is just how we are"
"Call them from the plane?" I said with a smirk.
"Defiantly"
I knew that InuYasha would flip his lid but I wasn't about to cancel either..oh well.

I check my watch; it was time to call InuYasha. He was due at my house in like 20 minutes.
I dialed his number and saw Rin grin at me.
"Hey babe" he answered "I'm getting in the car right now…what's up? Want me to pick you up some breakfast?"
I smiled, he really was very sweet….let's see how long that lasts.
"No…ah…I'm actually not going to school today" I said a bit hesitantly.
You know that nauseating feeling in the pit of your stomach when your instincts tell you that you in for a world of trouble….I am pretty sure that's what I am feeling right now. I normally don't give a hoot about even calling a guy to let him know where I'm at. I do what I want and don't like to ask permission but somehow it was different with InuYasha. He doesn't want to control me, but he just wants to make sure I was safe, which was sweet but a bit annoying at times. So maybe this would be a good experience for him.
"Any why not?" I heard him say hesitantly "Are you sick? Or just wanting to play hooky?"
"Neither" I bit my lip Rin was looking at her own phone, I'm sure she was debating whether to call Sessh or not "I'm….ah….not actually home right now"
There was an uncomfortable silence "And where exactly are you?" His voice sounded calm but I couldn't help but cringe. Oh that was not the sound of a happy boyfriend.
"Ah….on an airplane?" I squeaked softy then pulled my phone away from my ear when he roared "WHAT!?"
"Kagome, where the hell are you heading?" he bit out "I want answers…now!"
Okay…now I was peeved.
"I don't have to tell you squat" I said in a huff "I have an expo to go to for my business. We've only been together for about a week, so don't start dictating my life. I will be back on Sunday, so if the only thing I'm going to look forward to when I get home is your ranting then you can just stay away"
I hung up and turned off my phone. I was not going to put up with another controlling boyfriend who thinks he can tell me what to do.
"Wow…that didn't end so well" said Rin then sighed "Guess it's my turn"
Turned out that Sesshomaru was just as bad at InuYasha.
"Sessh…..Sessh!….grrrr…Just listen for a moment!" she hissed at the phone "Until I say otherwise I am not your wife yet so you do not have the right to tell me to just hop on another plane and come home. I don't harass you when it comes to your work so how is this any different?"
I heard the muffed, slightly angry, voice of Sesshomaru on the other line.
"I don't care if you make more money that I do, that does not make my job any less important than yours. I happen to love what I do and if you can't handle that then…..I guess I won't be seeing you when I get back" She hung up the phone in a huff.
We sat in our seats quite for a long while before I turned to look at her.
"Do you think we may have overreacted?" I said softly "We did leave without warning"
She looked at me before looking down at her phone.
"Maybe a little" she said softly.
We didn't say anything else for the rest of way there…..the guilt was killing me.
~InuYasha POV~
I looked down at my phone like the damn thing was possessed and maybe it was, how else could I explain the way that my sweet little Kagome just basically told me to fuck off?
Deciding that I was not going to school today I parked my car at the end of Kagome's block and walked over to her property. Leaping into the trees I checked to make sure nobody was in her room and lifted the window.
My demon whined within me, the scents of both me and my mate permeated the room. Gods, I had missed her last night and couldn't really sleep, my bed felt too cold without the warmth of Kagome's body next to me.
I smirked when I saw that she had locked her door.
I had a lot of my stuff here and I was sure that if her brother or mother came in and walked into her bathroom….a few raised eyebrows and questions would be in order.
I went to her laptop and logged on sifting through her emails. How do I know her password? Easy….she never logs off.
It took me a while for me to find it but there was a confirmation to a hotel room in Denver, Colorado scheduled for today. Oh I was pissed…..this reservation was booked over three months ago you would think that she would at least let me know before she got on the plane.
Then I shook my head…..this was Kagome I was thinking about. More than likely she didn't even remember until this morning. I went into her closet and gathered up my dirty clothes and headed out the window. Once in my car I headed home and dialed Sesshomaru's number.
"What?" he snarled into the phone.
"Let me guess….Rin decided to just hop on a plane and leave for the weekend?" I said bitterly.
"How did y-…." He started to ask then groaned "of course Kagome would be with her"
"Yup" I said "Any chance that she told you where she was heading off to?"
"She did not. She hung up rather abruptly" he said a bit on the evasive side. So Rin exploded on Sessh as well then…figures.
"Well it just so happens I was able to get into Kagome's computer and found the hotel confirmation" I said rather smugly "How do you feel about taking a little mini vacation to Denver?"
He was quite for a while then started to chuckle "That, little brother, is a stupendous idea" he said, I swear I can almost see that evil smirk of his.
"Then make reservations at the Four Season, that's where they are staying at" I said pulling into my drive way.
"Very well, I will call our pilot and have the jet ready by the time we reach to airport"
I hung up and dashed upstairs, left my laundry for the cleanup crew and took out my overnight bag and loaded it up with some jeans, shirts and a few sweaters. A quick dash in my bathroom and I was ready. I put my bag down in the hallway and headed up Sesshomaru's room.
Once I get him all set I headed down stairs when I heard my father call my name.
"Why are you not in your classes?"
"Rin and Kagome left the state….without telling us where they were going" I said with a sigh. I felt a bit embarrassed to even say those words. I mean come on! Any demon worth their hide would have a better check on their mates then we did.
I heard my father chuckle, I turned and pinned him with a glare.
"Not funny dad" I said my ears flatted on top of my head in aggravation at being laughed at.
"It's amusing because it's just the way it is with human women" he said then shook his head "Do you really think that even I have full reign on your mother?"
"Ah…"
"No I do not and it is a constant annoyance to my demon but I refuse to reinforce my power of alpha on her when it is not necessary, even if it does irk me" he clapped my back "In the end, it is better to suck it up and live a long happy life with your mate than to by a tyrant and have your mate start to resent you. So word of advice?" he said looking at seriously "When you reach your mates, do not yell at them, and do not demand for them to come home. Instead….just be happy that they are safe and then escort them around and take the opportunity to visit some local shops. Trust me, by the time all of you come home, you will be one step closer to claiming your mate"
I thought about what he said and nodded thoughtfully. In truth it did make a lot of sense. I would have to talk to Sesshomaru and come up with a game plan.
I hulled the two bags in my car and headed to Irvine.

"I do not care for this plan" said Sesshomaru across from me on our family's private jet.
"But it makes sense, you can't deny that" I said in a bored tone looking out the window.
"So is that what you're going to do when you see her? That is your game plan?" he said putting down his newspaper and looked at me. I smirked then gave him a devilish smirk.
"Tell me how else am I going to get Kagome to stay with me in one of the hotel rooms alone?"
My brother looked at me then started to chuckle "You little brother are pure evil"
"I learned from the best" I said with a shrug as we both chucked as we planned a way to get Rin to stay with Sessh and Kagome with me.

The air was chillier in Denver, which was not surprising since I could see the snowcapped mountains.
"Do you think they checked in yet?" I asked as I followed Sesshomaru to the rental car and threw my stuff in the back seat.
"Assuming they took a non-stop flight…then yes"
"What room did you book? From what I saw on her reservation sheet they booked the presidential suite" I said as we drove through the unfamiliar city with the help of the GPS navigation on the rental Mercedes. Sesshomaru never booked through rental companies; our family had our own travel agent handy 24 hours a day.
"I booked a presidential suite" of course I thought with a snort.
Once we got to your room I put my bag down and turned to Sesshomaru.
"Alright, let's go surprise our mates" I said with a smirk as we headed out and released our youkai's aura.
A few minutes later we were in the floor below ours. Kagome's scent was strong on this floor, oh yeah, she was definably here.
Reaching a black door with the number 17A on it I knocked gently and stood to the side. I didn't want her peeking and seeing us.
"Do you think that's housekeeping already?"
I recognized the voice as Rin's.
"Well it is the Four Seasons" Came the voice of my mate before she opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door she froze. Her eyes widened while I now stood in front of her, my arms crossed with one crooked eyebrow looking down at her.
"Inu…." she breathed then gasped when she noticed Sesshomaru leaned against the wall next to the door "Ah rats" she moaned.
"Indeed" said Sesshomaru with a smirk.
I relaxed and smiled at her. I pulled her into my arms and buried my face in her neck.
"I'm not mad baby" I said with an evil grin that she couldn't see "I was just worried about you. Two single beautiful girls alone in an unknown city without anyone to protect them? Why wouldn't I worry?"
She sighed "We would have been fine"
Rin came out fiddling with her fingers as she looked at Sesshomaru "So…..how did you guys know we were here?" she asked.
Sesshomaru's face didn't show any emotion what so ever, I had to hand it to him; he was the king of aloofness.
"It was not very hard" he said then proceeds to walk into the room taking Rin's hand and took a look around.
"You need to learn to log off of your email account" I said closing to door and took in the dark and light colors of the room. The living room area was large and spacious and the dining room had a table that seated 4 along with a kitchen area and huge bedroom with the king mattress. It was bigger than some apartments in the city I thought with a chuckle.
Kagome glared at me "You went through my emails? That is in invasion of my privacy you…you…dog!"
I took her by the arm and dragged her into bedroom and closed the door before turning to her.
"Look" I said exasperated "I know you don't like it that I looked through your emails but come on Kagome. I'm your mate, your boyfriend, I'm hoping to have a long committed relationship with you and if we want to have a happy life together don't you think that entitles communication?" I said as I watched her cast her eyes down ward. I took her hand and sat her on the bed while I crouched down so that we could be at eye level "If I ever need to leave out of town, or even if it's for football practice I will always tell you where I'm at. You do this out of respect Kagome and I would hope that you could give me that same consideration. It's not control, its common courtesy for your significant other and it's not because I don't trust you either. What if you get mugged? Or attacked? Or some crazy nut starts randomly shooting and I don't have any idea where you are and you need my help? What then baby...huh?"
I took her hand and kissed each of them "I don't care that you need to leave town for your business. I respect that your so dedicated to what you do…..just please let me know when you need to leave. I know my hair is already silver and I can't get gray hair but damn woman….that doesn't mean I can't have anxiety attacks"
She giggled then sighed "I'm sorry Yasha…..your right. I should have called you as soon as I remembered about the expo. I'm so use to other guys trying to control me that I reacted out of rebellion I guess" she said then looked at me "Why did it feel so wrong when I left without telling you?"
I didn't want to tell her so quickly but I think it was time.
"I will tell you about it if….." I said "You let me stay here with you"
"What about Rin?" she said confused then gave a little laugh and shook her head "Of course Sesshomaru would have a room book for them"
I strained my ears and didn't hear anything "And I am guessing they already left. You guys had just got here huh?" I said looking around the room and noticed that her luggage wasn't in the room.
"No….we literally walked in a minute before you guys came. How did you get here so fast?" she said getting up and headed towards the living room where I could see her cream bag.
"My father has a private jet" said with a shrug "So when is this expo thing?"
"Ah" she looked at the time "In about 3 hours….why?"
"Because we are going to get some breakfast" I said with a smile pulling her soft curvy body to mine and took possession of her mouth.
Her arms moved around my neck while she pulled me closer to her as she kissed me back with vigor surprising me a bit.
"I missed you last night" she said against my lips before that delectable mouth moved down to my neck making my demon want to just say fuck it and jump her.
"You're pushing my limits baby" I said hoarsely while her hands moved down my chest and under my shirt to scratch my back lightly with her nails. I couldn't help the low growl that came from within my chest "I guess we're ordering room service then" I said picking her up and walked into the bedroom and shut the door with my foot. Kagome gave out a little giggle as I growled playfully at her and threw her on the bed.
~Sesshomaru POV~
As soon as InuYasha took Kagome in to the bedroom I turned to my mate and sighed.
"Come here" I said gently opening my arms to her.
I could see the relief in her eyes and the little smile as she walked in to my arms. I held her small body to me and inhaled her hair calming my beast.
"I thought we were going to spend the weekend together" I said smirking when I felt her cringe against me.
"Would you forgive me if I said that I completely forgot about this until the alarm when off on my phone?" she said flashing me with those mesmerizing hazel eyes.
"Perhaps, but that doesn't excuse the way you spoke to me earlier" I said leaning down and gave her neck a small reprimanding nip "But on the other hand I do have to apologize for saying that your responsibilities are not as important as my own. That was arrogant of me"
She leaned back and gave me true genuine grin "Yes it was, but I can forgive you…after all…you did come all the way down here to be with me" she said.
I gave her a low hungry growl then leaned in and touched her forehead with mine "Yes I did my Rin and now that I am here I plan on making good use of the suite I booked" I said already feeling the pull of desire for my mate deep in my gut.
I will always want her, touch her, kiss her and hold her. It will never fade and I couldn't wait until she gave me permission to claim her.
"But…" she then glanced at the closed door "What about….Inu…."
"He is staying with Kagome of course" I said then looked at the two large overnight bags "Which is yours?" I asked moving away from temptation…..for now at least.
"The baby blue one" she said "but wait…..do you think it's a good idea to leave those two alone?" she said moving to follow me out of the suite then close it.
"Where do you think InuYasha's been sleeping for this past week?" I said shaking my head. Honestly, for being a hanyou, my brother had the uncanny ability to get women to do what he wanted.
"I had wanted to ask Kagome about that. She had made a comment this morning about him taking up her closet space. What's going on Sessh?"
"Nothing, she is still untouched, he is establishing a relationship with her" I had to admit, InuYasha was showing excellent endurance for being a half demon. I would have to make sure to train my own hanyou pups in the same manner I did InuYasha, the results are quite satisfying.
Once we arrived at our own suite I was more than ready to spend some 'quality time' with my little mate. Placing her bag on the sofa I picked her up winning me a little 'eep' from her and carried her to the large king size bed and threw her on it.
She scrambled to sit up against the headboard and swallowed when she saw me undoing my tie then toss my jacket along with the tie on the chair.
"Wha….what are you doing" she said, her voice cracking a bit making her swallow hard again.
"I have been deprived from being next to you Rin" I said taking off my button down shirt leaving me in my muscle shirt. Placing a knee on the bed I yanked her to me by her ankle then growled when the skirt she was wearing rode up a bit exposing those sinful creamy legs to my hungry eyes.
"I have been a patient man Rin" I growled low as I crawled up to kiss her neck slowly savoring the taste of her skin "but right now my demon is demanding it's mate"
"We…we haven't….known each other for very long" she said, her voice was shaky but the scent coming off of her spoke of her desire for me.
I made my way up to her those lush lips of hers and kissed her deeply, drinking in the sweet nectar of my mate. She moan softy into me her hands holding me to her.
"We are mates" said my hands skimming up her legs "The heart of my heart, your soul knows mine…..isn't that enough?"
She shuddered delicately under my seductive touch responding to the call of my demon by arching her back slightly exposing her neck to me. I chuckled darkly, I could claim Rin right now if I so choice to….but it was insulting to take her virginity in a hotel room. No, when the day came for me to claim my mate, it would be in house designed for her in the family estate.
That still didn't mean I couldn't do 'other' things to her.
I enjoyed seeing her eyes widen with I cut her shirt off with one claw.
"Sessh!" she cried out in outrage.
"I will buy you three more in its place" I said leaning down started to kiss her flat stomach squashing any protests she may have had.
"I still haven't agreed to anything" she said her voice laced with a bit of panic.
Pausing I moved up so that I could look into her lovely hazel eyes and allowed her to see just what she meant to me. I stripped off my mask and let my guard down, showing her the emotions within my heart to her.
"There will never be another woman for me Rin" I said softly "You are the reason why I breathe now, the reason why I wake each morning. You, my Rin, are my world" I said willing for her to believe it, to see the truth that was clear in my eyes.
She lay there stunned for a moment before her eyes misted with unshed tears. Pulling my head down she gave me a kiss that once again stroked the flames of passion within my demon.
At least for a few hours we forgot all about the world outside of the hotel room as we explored new intimacies without actually mating.
~Kagome POV~
"I'm hungry" I said sleepily.
I was using InuYasha's upper chest as a pillow. After he had thrown me on the bed he had pulled me into his arms and we've been laying on it for about an hour now. I was so sleepy that I had dozed off but my rumbling tummy woke me up.
I heard InuYasha yawn then gently got up and laid me back down on the pillows, which were fine but I preferred him to the pillows.
"What do you want for breakfast? I'll order it" I heard him say.
"Fruit and yogurt with coffee" I said then chuckled when he said 'ugh'.
My eyes flew open when I heard him order my breakfast along with bacon, ham, three eggs scrambled, toast and hash browns.
"Good grief" I said sitting up pushing some of hair away from my face "You keep eating like that and you're gonna be as big as a house"
He turned and smirked before climbing back on the bed and pulled me to him to capture my lips in a heated kiss again. I swear I could feel my toes curl when he did that. I have never experienced the melting slow searing heat that Yasha caused within me with anyone else before, he made my head feel like I was on the clouds. My arms when around him my hands going up his shirt to caress the skin of his back while his lips moved down my neck.
"So are you going to tell me why I felt so guilty about keeping my location from you?" I said, trying to distract myself from the feelings he was stirring.
He sighed and moved and lay on the bed on his back.
"I honestly didn't want to tell you about this until at least a few months" he said a slight frown on his face. Why would he want to wait? What was he hiding?
"What are you hiding Yasha?" I said wanting to know what could he possibly be hiding from me.
I watched him sit up, then looked down at me and gave me a crocked smile.
"It's nothing bad baby" he said "It's just that I know how humans get about demon customs…it's been the cause to many fights between our races. Plus…I wanted to establish a solid relationship first. I didn't want this to influence the way you feel about me, about us"
Now I was curious. What custom was he talking about?
"Have you ever heard of demon mates?" he asked finally.
I shook my head "Arizona doesn't have very many demons"
"Okay then, well to a demon a mate is someone our inner demon can recognize as it's soulmate by scent. Once our demon finds our mates there will never be another person for them, that it. Think of it as love at first sight only multiply it by a thousand and that is what a demon's mate is"
The concept was so amazing and bizarrely spontaneous.
"You don't have any say in it? What if you don't like the person your demon chooses?" I asked trying to image what that must feel like. You're walking down the street then BAM! Instant devotion.
"Our demons would never choose someone who isn't already perfect to us" he said then moved closer so that he was looming over me, his hand came to caress my cheek "She will be perfect in our eyes in every way" he said softly, his voice coming out low and deep ensnaring me with his voice "She will be like sun, fill us with warmth and light. We will be unable to stop the instant attraction" he said leaning down and kissed my lips once "Unable to help but want to be with her at all times" his claws caressed my hair "To feel her close, to smell her constantly, a reminder that we are not alone in this world"
My heart was beating franticly, my body straining to move closer to him as his touch and voice wove a blanket of seduction. I could feel his hand move down my body to the small of my back pulling me closer to him.
"The need to taste your mate is strong, to be in their arms" I could hear my breath come out in little shudders when he moved kiss my deeply, hungrily causing a soft moan to escape my throat "It is a bond that is stronger than death" he said his voice husky with the emotions he was feeling "Once we find our mate, our demons will move heaven and earth to obtain her, to mark her and tie her forever to us" he cupped my face in his hands "You Kagome are that one person. You are my other half. The mate of soul and demon and you don't know how happy I am to have found you"
I looked up at him, my breath caught in my throat. I was his mate?
"I….I'm your mate?" I said softy in a daze, my body felt like it was humming just from his touch.
"Yeah" he breathed then moved to lick my lower lip. I gasped, my hands grabbing hand full of his hair lowering his lips to mine again. I couldn't stop kissing him. If what he was saying is true then that explained why I was so drawn to him, why I wanted to be with him like this and then it dawned on me…
This is the man who, without a doubt, I was going to give my virginity to.
He growled deep in his throat, his body moving directly above mine, crushing me to him and I shivered from the contact.
"I will never let you go Kagome….your mine and I am yours" he said while he moved to kiss and nibble on my neck.
I had been right on the first day I met him, there was a reason why I was so drawn to him. Why it felt so natural for him to nuzzle my neck and hold me. Why I would only feel comfortable in his arms and his touch….it was my soul calling out to him.
"Yin and Yang" I whispered caressing his face.
He nodded "We balance each other. There can never be one without the other"
"But" I then realized what this meant "We're still in school" I said "I want to go to college for my degree in business"
"So do I" he said "We can be together and attend collage either on campus or on line…which ever you choose"
"So….you will wait that long for me?"
He sighed "Yes and no" he answered "Yes I will wait until you are done with your school to start a family but no I don't want to wait to mark you"
"Mark me?"
"Right here" he said caressing the spot where my neck and shoulders met "I pierce my fangs into your skin and inject you with some of my youkai power's and link us together. Your life span will match mine"
"Wow" I said then sat up and looked down at him "So it's more permanent than marriage"
"Yup" he said laying down placing his arms in back of his head "Once I mark you, there is no backing out…that's why I wanted to wait to tell you. I didn't want to freak you out"
Was I freaked out?
I frowned and titled my head and pondered his words for a while.
Why wasn't I bit more freaked out than I should be? Was it because I was already deeply in love with him?
I blinked a few times…wait…I love him?
I looked at him. His golden eyes seemed worried but he didn't say anything but I could tell. He was worried about how I would take this information. He has said that he wanted to give me more time, wanted to build our relationship based on how I truly felt about him rather than what his demon says we should feel.
My mind went back to all of our conversations, my interactions with him, the way he treats me and how me makes me feel. How could I not fall for him?
"Kaggie? Sweetie?" he said leaning forward to rest his forehead to mine "I know it's very soon to tell you this but I just want you know that I deeply love you baby. I love your kind and gentle heart, the way you treat the people around you. I love your free spirit and your honest nature. I am not the most compassionate guy, I have a temper and I'm not as gentle as I seem but I try to be better…for you. I have a reputation, I curse and I have beaten the snot of guys just for sport but that is all behind me now" his arms went around me and held me to him "I just want you to at least know where you stand in my heart"
I melt against him. I knew he was all those things but I also knew that he was capable to change and of being a good person…he already was despite his flaws. I'm not stupid and I knew about his horrible reputation, the girls from school made sure I knew all about it but I choose to ignore them because deep down I knew that he's was not going to cheat on me or use me.
"Yasha?" I said pulling away from him then got up out of the bed. I could see how that move hurt him; he thought I was going to reject him.
"Let's a few things straight okay?" I said frowning at him, he sighed and nodded getting up and moved to walk out of the bedroom.
"What is it Kaggie?" he said sounding totally defeated that it made my heart clench "Don't ask me to forget about you….that's just not fuckin possible"
I shook my head.
"First off" I said sternly then smiled at him, my eye melting "I know that you're not the gentlest hanyou…and that's okay. Second, you better not accept any collage offers without making sure I got in as well. Thirdly, I'm not having any kids until I'm at least 23 or 24" I said enjoying his confused then happy expression "And lastly…I love you too…I think I have since the day we went to La Jolla"
I didn't even see him when he move but the next thing I knew I was hulled up into his arms. He held me tightly then moved to give me a searing hot kiss that made the room spin.
"Fuck I love you woman" he muttered against my lips "You have no idea how much"
We ended up making out on the couch, his hands moving to pull me closer as his mouth devoured me in sinful kisses that had every single pheromone on my body singing for him. I was going to be lucky to make it home with my virginity still attached if we kept this up. A sudden image of that king size bed and the fireplace made me shier with anticipation.
I shouldn't feel so attached to him but I did. My past with Hojo should have made me swear off men but it was like my past didn't matter, as long I was in his arms. I was felt safer in the strong arms of this demon than any human. He may have a bad temper and he may be violent at times…..but never with me, that much I was sure of now. Hojo always appeared to be the nice good guy, had everyone fooled and he turned out to be a bigger monster than any demon I have encountered. InuYasha was nothing like Hojo and in my heart I knew that I would forever love this strong demon in my arms. I kissed him, pouring my love into it and allowed my feelings for him to flow.
"Think of something else" he growled out laying his head on my shoulder "You're killing me baby and I'm not the best when it comes to self-control"
A knock at the door made us both jump.
"Room Service" the guy on the other side said making us both sigh in relief.
We ate in silence while InuYasha flipped through the channels before landing on the morning news. My thoughts where on the items I had brought for sleeping….I had not planned on InuYasha coming so I had packed my short blue silk night gown. I had not worn it since InuYasha started sleeping with me, keeping temptation at bay.
I shook my head. The bed was huge, I was sure it would be okay.

~InuYasha POV~
Oh fuck I was tired!
The stupid expo was huge. Larger than even Kagome and Rin thought it would be and for hours they looked at the different black smiths, looking for someone would be able to make the jewelry that Kagome designed to their liking.
I yawned, stretching out my large frame on the sofa watching a movie while Kagome slept in the bedroom. As soon as we came back I got my stuff from the other room and took a shower and put on my lounging pants, leaving my chest bare.
My mate had been so tired that after her shower she crawled right into bed and fell asleep almost immediately. I check the clock and rubbed my face tiredly, it was one in the morning. Damn no wonder I was so tired.
Turning off the TV I turned everything off and headed to bed. Gods I couldn't wait until I had her home, this felt so good. Here in the privacy of this hotel room, I was allowed to be with her like this, like we were a mated couple, no worrying about her family walking in on us or jumping through windows. Here it was just us for the next three nights. Monday we will wake up early and take the jet and head straight to school.
Pulling the covers over I crawled in and pulled Kagome to me. She murmured in her sleep and turned around and faced me. I trapped her leg in-between mine and put my arm around her then froze.
Wha….what did she have on? Or what didn't she have one.
I moved my hand and came in contact with her scantily clad silk bottom. My breath came out in pants as my hand moved up her side, caressing her rib cage moaning at how soft her skin felt. She wasn't wearing a bra, had on small silk bikini underwear and a silk spaghetti strapped night gown….she was almost naked.
"Inu?" she mumbled in her sleep looking at my face.
"Baby….what in world are you wearing?" I said in a strangled voice "Do you enjoy torturing me?" I almost whimpered when she sat up giving me a luscious view of her pale skin and full breasts covered only in thin silk.
Her face when bright red "It's the only pajama I packed….sorry" she said softy making me groaned. The said little blue night gown was showing me a lot of leg as the damn thing had ridden up almost at her waist.
I sighed frustrated and plopped myself on my back against the pillows "Your testing my will power aren't ya?" I said then hissed when she moved and saddled my hips.
"Oh come on Yasha" she said giving me a light punch "You have been sleeping in my bed for the past week and you never had a problem before" she said crossing her arms "So why is it hard on you now?"
"Because your family has ways been there in the back ground, but here…it's just you and me and you're wearing nothing but your underwear. I may have honor but I'm still a man Kaggie. A man that is deeply in love with his mate mind you and right now your position is not helping either baby"
"Oh" she said her eyes took on a sad gleam that melted my heart. I pulled her down to me and kissed the top of her head.
"What's the matter?" I said wondering why she was suddenly sad.
"I didn't know that I have been making you uncomfortable" she said softly laying her head over my heart.
I wrapped my arms around her small body and purred deep in my chest for her "I just don't want to push you into something you're not ready for. I want you…gods woman I want you but I respect you and I will not cross any lines you're not ready to cross with me"
I rolled over until she was under me making her gasp. I captured her plump lips for a kiss, savoring her taste before breaking apart and looked into her eyes.
"But when you're ready to take the next plunge you can make damn sure that I will be your first and last for everything" I growled possessively "When the day comes and you give me permission to kiss and make love to this body of yours, I will made damn sure that you crave no one else but me for the rest of your life"
Her eyes widen a bit before they melted into a deep aqua color mesmerizing me, ensnaring more than I always was.
"Love you" she whispered innocently making my heart falter. I kissed her nose "Me too little bit" I said making her laugh.
It was not too long after that we feel asleep in each other's arms.
~Hojo POV~
Where could she be!
I picked up the paper weight from my desk and threw it across the room, shattering the window from my family's library.
I heard a knock at the door breaking my thoughts from the woman who ran from me.
"What?" I called out through gritted teeth.
The door opened to reveal my private investigator.
"Did you find her?" I asked knowing that he must have some news on Kagome's whereabouts.
Did she really think I wouldn't look for her? That I would just leave things as they were when I left? I scoffed internally, of course she did. Kagome was too innocent to not see this coming; she always wanted to believe the best of people. Well that was okay, as long as she knew where her place was and her place was by me. She was beautiful, successful, comes from a respectable family and would make and ideal wife for someone who wanted to be a politician.
I looked at Bansoku "Well? What did you find out?"
"Seems that her brother transferred to a hospital in the San Diego area" he said taking out a manila folder "I was able to track him down and find the school she is attending. It is a private school but that's not it"
He handed me the folder silently making me wonder what else there could be. I opened the folder and immediately felt my temper flare up.
Inside were several pictures of Kagome and a half demon no less, kissing and hugging.
"What kind of shit is this?" I said looking down at one picture of them in the school parking lot. Kagome was talking to some other girl while that damn demon was in back of her, holding on to her waist like he had the fuckin right to touch her. I eyed the half demon for a moment. He was an Inu Hanyou, well over 6 feet tall and muscular.
Shit.
Inu's where the strongest demons there were, and even if the bastard in the pictures was only half, I had a feeling that half was enough to put me in the hospital if provoked to. What was an Inu youkai doing dating a human girl? She couldn't be…..
"What do you know about this demon in the pictures?" I asked looking at Bansoku.
"His father is part of the demon council and owns a huge corporation that has dealings all around the world and was named wealthiest demon for ten years in a row in Forbes magazines. His brother works in the same corporation as does he. His name is InuYasha Taisho, even though he is a half demon, he has been known to fight and hold the same power of a full demon. I asked around and he had a reputation of being a player…until he met Kagome" he said making me seethe in rage.
"Do you know why?" I said between teeth.
"Many demons that I have asked said that it must be because Kagome is his lifemate. There can only be one and ever since he met her, he has changed his image and has not been seen with any other woman since she arrived at his school"
I looked down at a picture of them being caught kissing and felt jealously rip through me violently. She didn't like to kiss. She was always so frigid whenever I tried to kiss her but the look on her face in this pictures told a different story. She was leaning into the demon, her face tilted up and her arms wrapped around his neck.
So she thought she would find herself another man and forget about us.
"Thank you" I said to Bansoku, flashing him with a cold smile "I think I have all the information I need"
"You can't win against this demon Hojo" said Bansoku giving me an uneasy look "He will kill you if you go near Kagome and the human police won't be able to touch him. If Kagome is his mate then she falls under youkai law"
I laughed "Oh don't you worry Bansoku" I said looking the photo "Find me a few of his ex's for me, see if any of them are pregnant and are willing to take money for some revenge on him. I want to destroy his image in her eyes and once Kagome leaves him I will come in and take her away"
I looked at my private investigator "There will be a hefty bonus for you if you can do this"
Once he left I took the pictures and tore out the image of the demon leaving only Kagome's face and placed them on the desk in the library.
'I will get you back' I thought looking at the beautiful face of my girlfriend 'You will come back with me, either by force or by your own free will but you will came back to me'
~Naraku POV~
I looked down at the intelligence report that my brother was able to get for me and felt my eyes bled red with rage.
"Are you telling me that her mother hasn't done shit about this?" I said looking at my older brother while he cleaned one of his guns.
"Nope" he said taking a hit from his cigarette "Bitch is dumber than a sack of fuckin potatoes. Kikyo got herself landed in the fuckin hospital after that bastard of a step-father cut her open and took out her womb and still the bitch didn't do a damn thing. CPS came in after Kikyo told the doctors what happened and even the little sister backed her up but of course the system is corrupted and once Kikyo's mom intervened they dropped it. She made some bull shit story about how her daughter has been rebelling since the death of her biological father and how Kikyo just did this because she didn't like another man in her father's place"
I scanned the hospital and CPS report and let out a deafening roar of outrage on my mate's behalf. My demon blood was fighting to come out and rip apart the bastard that touched my mate, defiled her and took away her ability to have children. I may not have wanted any babies, but what about Kikyo? I would have been happy to give her one or two if she really desired them but now?
"You can always take Kikyo out of there right now" said my older brother as he loaded his gun "I can get a couple of guys to come with"
I shook my head "Nah….she won't leave without her baby sister and I don't blame her. It makes me sick to even leave a child in that house"
"So we take the kid too" said Onigumo with a shrug making me roll my eyes.
"She doesn't fall under youkai law dumb ass, only Kikyo" I thought about what I could do. How could I get Kikyo and Kanna out of that house that didn't involve kidnapping? I needed to speak with someone who was in the demon council and find out that if I can prove that Kikyo's step-father is abusive would the courts would grant me custody of Kanna as well.
I looked around my brother's study and sighed. Not living here I couldn't.
"Oni" I said "I appreciate all that you have done for me…I really do but I need you to grant me access to my inheritance now"
Both of our parents where dead, they had been wealthy owners of Arania Communication which was now passed on to Onigumo and myself. Oni never had any interest in the company but he was still a shareholder. I was currently being groomed to take over as CEO but it was my brother who had full access to my share of the massive inheritance in my name.
Onigumo nodded and sighed "I had a feeling this would happen as soon as I saw the mess that was your mate's life. Well I can't get mad; she is now part of this family now"
Getting up he pulled a large painting off the wall to uncover the massive safe and turned the dials.
"Here little brother…..you're gonna needs this" he said taking out a metal box and placed on the desk "This is yours"
I uncovered a few thousands in cash, bonds to different stocks worth millions, the key to the safe box in the bank where the rest of my fortune lay and the documents that named me shareholder of our parents company.
"So now that you have your fortune, what is your next move?"
I thought about it for a while until one name crossed my mind.
InuYasha.
Of course. His father was on the council and he owed me one.
"I'm gonna have a little chat with one of the council elders" I said with a smirk making my brother coke on his beer.
"How the fuck are you gonna do that?" he said coughing "I may have connections but not that type"
"No…but I do" I said taking out my phone "I know someone who can get me an audience with the Lord Inu No Taisho"
"You do?" he asked sounding damn impressed "Who?"
"His son" I said putting my phone to his ear "Who just so happens to be a good friend of mine"
Onigumo laughed in his chair "Good for you little bro…always knew you'd make mom and dad proud"
I rolled my eyes, took the metal container and head upstairs to my room.
"What's up Roku?"
Oh gods, Kagome had him calling me that now….along with everyone else.
"Hi Roku!" I heard Kagome's voice which sounded like she was right next to him.
"Don't you two ever take time away from each other?" I asked honestly curious since all this week Kagome reeked of InuYasha. Every single demon on campus all knew by now that A.) Kagome was InuYasha's mate B.) They were madly in love and C.) They both slept in the same bed and by the strength of his scent on her….every night it seemed.
"Nope" he answered "What's up? Whatcha need?"
"I need to talk to your dad. I have a problem that I need him to hear out since he is on the council" I said going to my desk and placed my new documents in it.
"Is it about Kikyo?" He asked then I heard him muttered "Tell you later" to Kagome.
"Yeah…I learned some fucked up shit and I need to talk to your dad" I sat on my massive bed and rubbed my face with my hand feeling tired.
"Sure thing, I'll call him right now. I'm not in town so I'll tell you what he says on Monday"
Now that caught my attention "You two going on vacations already?" I said with a chuckle "Does she know already?"
"Yeah, she knows she's my mate" I head him kiss her on the other line making me grimace, honestly they were the most nauseating couple I have ever met.
"Alright, well you two have fun….and don't knock her up yet dog, we're still in school" I said with a chuckle.
"Whatever, you better watch it or I'll whack you with the Sunday's paper" he said making me roll my eyes.
"Ha ha, very fuckin original" I said then hung up.
~InuYasha POV~ Sunday~
To say that I didn't want to go back was an understatement.
I stretched in bed savoring the feeling of waking up next to Kagome without having to worry about family members.
"Why are you up?" she groaned and turned in bed so that she was lying on her stomach, her face turned away from me and her hands under one pillow. I looked over at her and slid closer to her and kissed the exposed skin of her shoulder and the back of her neck. I plastered my body to hers pinning her down with a leg.
"You don't have to wake up babe" I said while my hands moved under her night gown and caressed her waist and back. I love the feel of her skin and wished I could taste all of it.
"It's hard to sleep when you're touching me like that Yasha" she muttered into the pillow.
I knew what my touch did to her; her scent was spiked with excitement and arousal. She wanted me just as much as I wanted her but I wanted to move slowly for her.
"But I like caressing your skin Kaggie" I said close to her ear "it's soft and silky"
I felt her laugh "You're bad" she said.
I kissed her skin again "The worst" I said moving my hand higher up attempting to touch as much of her skin as possible "Thank the gods you forgot to bring other pj's, I think I really love this nightdress" I said nibbling on the back of her neck.
"Do I need me to send you to the couch?" she said playfully, her voice was still groggy from sleep.
"Nah" I said laying down again and just held her in my arms "I just love waking up with you like this" I admitted.
"I can tell" she said then turned around to face me "Back to the grind tomorrow?" she said making me whine a little.
She laughed then reached up and started to gently rub my ears. I groaned and leaned into her hands then thought better of it.
"I don't think you want to be doing that while you're so…..undressed" I said making her blush.
"Are they….sensitive like that?" she said tilting her head looking embarrassed
"Not all the time but right now….I just don't think it would be a good idea to rile up my inner demon"
We stayed in bed for a while; I turned on the TV and put it on some reality show after we ordered breakfast. I didn't feel like leaving this bed just yet, not while I felt so peaceful and relaxed.
"Yasha?" said Kagome looking up at me. We were propped up against the headboard by the mountain of pillows. Kagome was on the crook of my right side using my upper chest as a pillow.
"Yeah?" I said chuckling at some idiot landing on his ass on the show 'Ridiculousness'.
"Why did your demon choose me as its mate?" she asked as she brought up our intertwined hands and looked at my sharp claws "I mean….why wouldn't it choose a demoness?"
I growled low, a soothing sound meant to put her at ease "I don't know why it choose you, but I glad it did" I said looking down at her beautiful heart shape angelic face "You are far better than any demoness Kagome, you are my mate and I wouldn't change it for the world"
"So you don't mind that I'm a scatter brain?" she said smirking "You do know that eventually I'll drive you crazy"
I growled playfully then knocked her down and pinned her under me making her 'eep' then giggle.
"You can't make someone who's already nuts go crazy" I said kissing her neck "Besides" whispered "I would gladly have you run circles around me than to not have you in my life at all"
She hugged me tight as we tumbled around in the massive bed, ignoring the world outside of our little sanctuary.
