Sesshomaru sat contemplatively for a few minutes. "It would take a great deal of power and sacrifice to be able to complete such an abominable action. But I suppose anything is possible. I'll look more into it, tomorrow. Now, it's time for my future mate to go to bed." He smiled at her as he brought her into an embrace and kissed her forehead.
She giggled at him, "But, Sess, I'm not even tired."
"I never said anything about going to sleep. I said that it's time for you to go to bed." At the end of that statement he winked at her, which caused her to blush a new shade of red. "I'll be up momentarily." She kissed his lips passionately and walked away. She swayed her hips more drastically, knowing that he was looking. "Don't take too long," she said as she pulled her shirt over her head and tossed it to the floor.
He shook his head and looked down at his already excited member, "that woman will be the death of me." He put the thoughts of nights spent with his future mate aside to email his father about this possible issue.
"Sesshomaru..." He heard Kagome moan out.
He sent the email and raced up the stairs. He walked through the doorway and looked at his bed. There he found Kagome barely covered with the black silk sheet. She was completely nude and only covered the "essentials." "You entice me anymore and you will be mated by the end of the night." His voice became gruff.
"Now, What if I didn't mind?" she asked as she moved to crawl across the bed to him.
"It wouldn't be right," he ground out. She could hear his control slipping. She lifted and pressed her body against his and left a trail of open-mouthed kisses along his jaw. "Kagome," he growled. She moaned in response, and he slammed her small frame on the bed. He ground his prominent erection into her hips and stared down at her with bleeding red eyes. "Let me do this the proper way." He threw himself off of her and paced the area in front of the bed. It was a few minutes before he spoke again. "I just want to do everything correctly with you." She looked at him with a confused expression and covered her body with the sheet. He sighed, "Kami, I can't wait until I can do everything to you. See you pupped from my seed..." He took a deep breath and smelled her arousal and his eyes rimmed red again. "Ugh. You make me lose control." He sighed again. "We announced the courtship beginning, but we have to actually go through the entire courting process, then an announcement has to be made about the mating date. Similar to what the humans call a wedding." He looked at her again. "Did you never talk with your parents about this?" She shook her head 'No.' "Why not? This is essential knowledge." He knelt in front of her. And she stared back at him eyes glazing over as she remembered the last contact she had with her parents.
"I left them at an early age, met Sango, and her parents never got the chance to speak with either of us. They passed in an accident when her mother went into labor with her little brother, Kohaku." She held his gaze, "We've been letting instinct drive us for the most part."
He stared at her. "Why did you leave?"
She looked at her lap. "Why does it matter? They shouldn't find me; and if they do, they can't exactly take me away." She looked up at him as she finished her statement.
He smirked, "I wouldn't let them." He stood up and walked to his closet, "But they could try, because you aren't a mated youkai." He walked out with a robe for her. "Seeing as how this isn't exactly a standard courting, we'll be needing my father's help." He helped her into the robe, "Let's get some rest, we'll go first thing in the morning."
She nodded at him and crawled into bed with him behind her. He draped an arm around her waist, but neither of them could fall into a restful sleep. Her thoughts of the parents she tried so hard to forget kept popping into her head.
