Warning: A little lemon in the end

It was morning. Inuhime could feel the sun coming through the windows. She could hear the birds sing their songs and the hustle and bustle in the hallways. She fluttered her eyelashes open. A maid came in and slid open the window curtains. "Milady, it's time to get dress and go break your fast." Inuhime groaned because she didn't want to get out of her warm and comfortable bed. "Come, awake now, milady." Inuhime felt like she was a pup again.

So without further adieu, she got out of her bed and walked to her wardrobe. She pulled out a light blue kimono. The maid helped her with it and brushed her hair. Once that was finished, Inuhime made her way to the dining hall, where she knew that everyone would be waiting including the counsel and the court lords and ladies. She was clearly not in the mood for their snobby ways, today.

Since after the trial of the prisoners of war, she couldn't stop thinking about Hikaru and the kiss that he gave her. She was dead shocked. Frozen. She didn't know how to respond to him, which was the reason why he left abruptly. She remembered his kiss. It was sweet, yet demanding. She needed to speak to him, soon. He misunderstood. She needed to set him straight. So after breakfast, she would go find him.

When she walked inside the dining hall, everyone stopped talking and looked at her. It was unnerving and then everyone started talking again. Inuhime looked around the table and noticed that not everyone was there. Everyone was, except for Sesshomaru, Kagome, and their infant-pup, Natsume. She heard InuTaisho sighed.

"What's the matter, father?"

"Your brother has set it in his mind that the court and counsel members aren't going to meet their princess-heiress anytime soon. Do you know why he's being so stubborn?"

"No, I don't, father. However, I believe he wanted to set the time frame of when and where for them to meet Natsume; not theirs."

One of the counsel members said, "Lord InuTaisho, forgive me, but we need to know if the heir is 'healthy' and 'strong' like its grandfather and father." There was a hidden meaning behind those words.

Inuhime and InuTaisho narrowed their eyes at him, because they knew what the hidden words meant. InuTaisho said, "I assure you. SHE is healthy and strong. There's no need to worry."

"I agree, father. Natsume is very healthy and strong like us. Right, mother?"

Inukimi had just sat down next to her mate from speaking to the other ladies. "Yes, my granddaughter is a lot like her father and aunt, even her Uncle Inuyasha, who will show up later this evening."

The counsel member scowled. "You are allowing that half-breed here!"

InuTaisho growled. "That HALF-BREED is my son. His name is Inuyasha. He'll be known as Lord Inuyasha to you soon enough. So, if I were you, I would get over it and treat him as you'd treated us over these centuries." The counsel member hadn't said anything else.

Suddenly Sesshomaru accompanied by his mate came in the dining hall. Everyone stood up as all eyes were on them as if they were searching. They were searching alright. They were searching for Natsume, the first born of Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome. Sesshomaru noticed this at once and smirked. He knew that the court and counsel members would want to see his daughter. Kagome looked at him as if she was saying 'you behave or else.' She didn't want anyone to die because of their foolishness. Inuhime noticed their facial expressions and body language. Her twin was so easy to read, simply because they were twins. Reading Kagome was a piece of cake. She was such an easy person to read.

InuTaisho and Inukimi inwardly pouted because they wanted to see their granddaughter. "Where's our granddaughter, my son," his mother asked.

"She's asleep. Nanami is currently watching over her, mother."

Kagome added, "You may see her after breakfast, if you like."

"However, only family and very close friends are allowed to see her and if this Sesshomaru hears that either of you court and counsel members were near this one's daughter or even thinking about seeing her without this Sesshomaru's consent, you will face my wrath. Am I in any way unclear?" The court and counsel members audibly gulped and shook their heads. Sesshomaru smirked. "Good."

Inukimi replied, "Yes, we would love to see our Natsume." InuTaisho nodded. "We had received word from Inuyasha that he will arrive later this evening. My guess is that he wanted to see his nieces and nephew."

A counsel member asked in confusion, "Nieces and nephew? Are there other pups that we haven't heard about? Other than the late Akihiko, perhaps, his lordship had a pup before becoming mated to that woman."

Kagome was going to retort about his insinuation, however, Sesshomaru roared as his eyes turned red, "That WOMAN is my mate! Her name is Kagome. She's Lady Kagome to you and the rest that serves me."

In that moment, his father couldn't be any more prouder of his son; defending his mate with all emotion that was clearly expressed in his face. Inuhime couldn't believe the nerve of that person, who was basically saying that he was whoring around. Sure she knew that every once in a while he would sate his beast with a bitch. I mean, what male wouldn't or what female wouldn't for that matter. Kimiko, who was Inukimi's grandmother, Sesshomaru's great-grandmother, and Natsume's great-great grandmother, shooked her head and retorted to the said counsel member, "They were speaking about Rin and Shippo, baka." The other counsel members agreed inwardly that he was indeed a baka.

The said counsel member had his head down as if he was ashamed, which he should be and said softly, "Forgive me, milord, for my foolishness."

Sesshomaru said in his usual cold and stoic baritone, "It isn't this Sesshomaru you should be asking for forgiveness. Although, the comment you made was directly at this Sesshomaru, but you caused his lady stress. You should be apologizing to your lady."

The said counsel member nodded; stood up; and walked over to Kagome's chair. He bent down on his knees and looked into her eyes with all the remorse he could muster for being a youkai. He said, "Please, forgive me, milady, for my foolishness."

It seemed like an eternity before Kagome smiled sweetly and said, "I accept for apology." The said counsel member nodded, stood up, and returned to his seat.

Nothing else happened afterwards, except for some sibling banter from Inuhime and Sesshomaru, during the rest of the breakfast hour. Other than that the atmosphere seemed to be calm again.

-

Inuhime, Kagome, and Zokushi, Inuhime's best friend were outside at the palace gardens. They were watching the pups playing tag. Then somehow or other the subject of finding that special someone came up. Kagome was talking about Sesshomaru with that look that you know when someone's in love with someone. She even talked about Inuyasha, who Zokushi found interesting, which caused Inuhime raised an eye brow.

"Well, speaking of someone special, you never guess who came up to me and kiss me."

Zoku's interest peaked. "Well? Who's the luck man?"

Inuhime cheeks turned red just by thinking about him. "You have to guess. It's someone you both know. He's been our friend since pup hood and he's also a part of Sesshomaru's army."

Kagome was tapping her figure in her chin as if she was thinking. After the trial of the prisoners of war, Inuhime and Sesshomaru talked about what made her so late. At first, Sesshomaru was upset that Hikaru would disrupt his sister's duties. However his beast told him that Hikaru had been in love with Inuhime since their adolescences. Sesshomaru couldn't fault him for it. Later on Sesshomaru told Kagome before they fell asleep. "I am guessing Hikaru."

Zoku's eyes widened. She had always known how Hikaru felt about her best friend. "How was the kiss, hmm?"

Inuhime smiled dreamily, "It was sweet, yet demanding."

"And where did this happened?"

"In my room and no, we didn't do it." Zoku pouted. She was more of a 'loose' type of person, yet she doesn't go whoring around. She believed that being disgraceful. "However, when I didn't respond to him, he left. I mean, I was just so shockingly surprised. It wasn't until he pulled back when he realized that I wasn't responding to him. He abruptly walked away before I could stop him. I probably broke his heart. He will probably avoid me now."

Zoku nodded in agreement. Then a light bulb turn on over Kagome's head. "I have an idea. You could..."

-

It was now evening, Inuyasha arrived with Kikyo. Everyone, including Sesshomaru, welcomed him home.

"Keh, I want to see the little runt." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at him and hit him on the head. "Feh, what the hell was that for!"

"This Sesshomaru doesn't like it when you call his daughter a runt. She isn't weak. She is healthy and strong."

Kagome said, "Yes, Natsume is healthy and strong. There's no doubt about that. She definitely has her father's strength. However, Inuyasha didn't mean anything by that. He used to call Shippo that all the time. He was too healthy and strong."

"Keh, I know that Natsume is strong and healthy. I didn't mean anything by that, ice prick."

Inukimi was getting impatient. She wants to see her granddaughter, like now; not later. "Enough bickering! I want to see Natsume."

So without any other interruptions from the half-brothers, they went to see Natsume. Well, everyone except for Inuhime, who was currently in the gardens at their favorite spot when they were pups. She sent Zoku to Hikaru's office at the barracks to give him a note. Zoku knew that Hikaru must be brokenhearted. She and Kagome believed that a note from Inuhime would cheer him up. Zoku, finally, made it to the general's office. She knocked on the shoji door, then she heard a 'come in' on the other side. Zoku walked inside with a mini scroll behind her back. Hikaru was writing up some reports. Zoku waited patiently for Hikaru to acknowledge her presence. It was a few minutes later that Hikaru finally acknowledged her. "Yes, what may I help you with Zoku?"

"Inuki told me that you kissed her. Are you out of your mind?! You can't just go to her and... and kiss her before you have either her brother's and/or father's consent."

Hikaru narrowed his eyes at her. "For your information, Zoku, I had gotten Sesshomaru's permission many years ago. He even came to me after the prisoners of war's trial and asked if I was still interested in her. By the way he was looking at me, he already knew my answer. However, he told me that since their father had return from the dead. I would have to ask their father's consent to court and mate her."

Zoku sighed. "Yes, that would be wise."

Hikaru leaned back in his chair and asked, "Is there something you need to say or something?"

"Oh yeah, of course." She revealed the mini scroll in the hand to Hikaru. Hikaru's raised an eye brow. "This is from Inuki." Zoku put the mini scroll on his desk. She turned around and walked out without looking back or said another word.

Hikaru eyed the scroll before he opened it up and begun to read the little note. The note read as follows: 'Hikaru, since I know that you would have avoid me. I decided to send a note instead. Hikaru, we need to talk. Please, meet me at our favorite spot at the gardens.' Hikaru smiled. It was like old times. She would send a note and they would meet at their sacred place. He noted that she didn't say the time, but if he knew her like he thinks he does. Then the time would be when the stars were bright and the moon high up in the sky. He also needed to get InuTaisho's consent to mate her. Hikaru decided to ask now rather than ask later. It seemed every time he wanted to ask her father before he died and before the courting of Toriko. He would go to him, but then he backed out at the last minute. He can't do that this time. He would have to steel his nerves. As he was walking inside the palace, he stopped a servant and asked where the Lord Father was. The servant told him that he was in the family room. The servant guide him to the family room and announced him.

The whole family was there. He noticed that Inuhime wasn't present, which was good. The whole family looked at him while little Natsume was making those cooing and giggling sounds. Hikaru didn't care if he would ask in front of the whole family. He took a deep breath and walked inside and gave a 'hello' nod to his lord and lady and to the Lady Mother and Lord Father.

"Lord InuTaisho, this Hikaru have been wanting to ask this in a long while." He inaudibly gulped and said, "This Hikaru would like to court and mate your daughter, Inuhime."

InuTaisho was sitting there holding his granddaughter. He was bouncing her on his knee, which made her giggled. He was surprised that Hikaru hadn't asked sooner. Yes, he knew how much Hikaru loved his daughter after all this time. He inwardly shook his head. He knew that his daughter loved him. He could tell. He could tell by their body language. He also knew the pup was nervous because the one fact. Well, maybe really two. One: He would give him a negative response. Two: He would have to fight him for her. This shows that the male could protect her. So, he could understand how he could be so apprehensive. He wouldn't blame him. I mean, he knew that he was a great warrior. His beast had always wanted to test this pup's strength.

After he let Hikaru sweat a little, he finally answered, "Yes. However, as tradition follows that the father or eldest brother will test the male's strength."

Hikaru knew that would come and he was ready. He was almost as strong as his lord. "Yes, milord. I am aware."

Inukimi was so happy that her pup would be mated soon. She was practically doing a happy dance. Kagome was happy for Inuhime, even though, she wasn't present. She wondered that if it was Inuhime's note that gave him hope. Inuyasha looked at his father and at Hikaru and said, "Keh. the old man will beat you to a bloody pulp." Everyone looked at him and one pair of silver eyes was glaring at him.

InuTaisho chuckled. "I am not going to kill him, Inuyasha. More likely, the match will be 'Last Man Standing.'"

Sesshomaru said, "Hikaru is a great warrior, father. His power is second to mine."

InuTaisho nodded. "When will you ask Inuki?"

"Tonight."

"Tonight?" Hikaru nodded. InuTaisho couldn't help, but to smile. "That means we will have our match now. How about it, pup?" Hikaru nodded. "Well, lets go to the dojo then."
-

Meanwhile, Inuhime was at the gardens. She was mostly meditating and taking in all the nature that was surrounding her. Tonight, she knew something good will change her life forever. She also wanted to get ready for her midnight meeting with Hikaru. Nothing to major, but it still set the mood. She went to their favorite place in the gardens. There was a waterfall, that flowed into a pond. It had Koi fish, lotuses, lily pads, and duckweed. She had brought some furs with her. She spread it on the soft, green grass, that was near the pond. Now, she would just need to get ready and bring something to snack on.
-

The whole family, with the exception of Inuhime, went to the dojo. InuTaisho handed his granddaughter to her mother because she was becoming as little fussy. He and Hikaru went to get change for the match.

Moments later, InuTaisho came out. He had his hair still in a top-knot. He wore a white hakama and yukata. He asked Sesshomaru, "Sesshomaru, may I borrow the Tenseiga." The Tenseiga was in Sesshomaru's and Kagome's bedroom, so he send a servant to fetch Tenseiga. As soon as the servant fetched the said sword, Hikaru came out wearing a red hakama and yukata. Hikaru was prepared because he had himself his own sword. He saw the servant gave InuTaisho the Tenseiga. Inukimi decided to become the referee.

The match began with them walking in a circle, both opponents were facing each other. InuTaisho said, "Don't expect me to go easy on you."

"Wouldn't dream of it, milord."

InuTaisho nodded in satisfaction. Then InuTaisho attacked Hikaru, which he instantly blocked his sword. They stayed facing each other. Pushing each other, then they both forced themselves apart. They ran towards each other to attack with a clash of their swords when they hit together.
-

Inuhime was gathering some fruits for a snack from the Palace's kitchen. She gathered some grapes, apples, and bananas. She left the kitchen with a smirk on her beautiful face and went to her favorite spot in the gardens.
-

Several moments later...

InuTaisho and Hikaru were still in their fighting match. InuTaisho is the only one that had scratches, cuts, and gashes, because Tenseiga doesn't cut. Also his garments were torn here and there. It was also covered in blood from his wounds.

InuTaisho had taken Hikaru's sword from his attack. Everyone heard the sword making a clashing sound as it hit the floor. If they thought the match was over, then they had another thing coming. Hikaru made a whip with his youki. The whip was a whitish silver color. It seemed to sparkle. He made his whip grabbed his soon-to-be father-in-law's sword and taken it out of his grasp and thrown it towards his fallen sword.

InuTaisho said with a smirk, "You wished to make it a hand-to-hand combat, then. Well, that seems fair, don't you think?" He made a whip, that was a bright blue color, with his youki. He swung his whip to make it wrapped around Hikaru's arm and threw him across the dojo. Hikaru hit the wall with some force, which was from InuTaisho's whip, that made some pieces of practice weaponry fell on the floor as it hit Hikaru in the process.

Hikaru stood up as if he wasn't injured. He didn't want InuTaisho to think him being weak. He felt his back ribs broken after he hit the hall. He wiped off some imaginary dirt off his yukata. He said, "Yes, it does seems fair."

Afterwards, Hikaru with blinding speed, ran to InuTaisho to punch him in the face, however, with equal or more speed, InuTaisho caught his fist and then he twisted his arm behind his back. He asked, "You wish to submit, pup?"

InuTaisho knew that Hikaru was injured. It may not be visible to the eye, but he heard Hikaru's ribs broke with his superior hearing. He bet the others could hear it, too. However, he wasn't sure about Kagome, but that wasn't her fault.

Hikaru was in pain, however, he answered in the negative. Then InuTaisho untwisted his arm and flipped him in front of him. Hikaru instantly landed on his back. He swallowed a painful moan. Hikaru could feel InuTaisho coming towards him, which made him jumped up quickly.

Once InuTaisho saw him jumped up off of the floor, he used his youki speed to punch him in the mouth, which made him bleed. Hikaru wiped his mouth on the back of his hand. Hikaru knew that Sesshomaru's father was a phenomenal warrior, but he was more than just that. He just can't place the right word for InuTaisho's fighting abilities. Hikaru noticed that he was barely breaking up in a sweat and here he was sweating up a storm and panting.

InuTaisho was impressed with Hikaru's strength, persistence, and perseverance, but he needed to know when to stop or he would put his body over to a point beyond recovery. What would that accomplish? Nothing. They had been sparring for a long while. InuTaisho knew just by reading his face and body language Hikaru wouldn't stop until he was knock unconscious or worst. He was that determine. However, he, InuTaisho, doesn't and wouldn't submit to a pup. Never. Hikaru, however, couldn't take the pain anymore, but he doesn't want to look weak in front of InuTaisho. However at the same time, he must submit. He knew that he couldn't beat InuTaisho in a fight. He just hoped that he had proven to him that he has the strength to protect Inuhime. There was nothing, but silence filled the dojo, even Natsume was quiet until Hikaru fell on his hands and knees.

InuTaisho walked up to him and asked, "You wish to submit, Hikaru?"

It was hard to breath due to his broken ribs. He took a few deep breaths before standing up on his knees. He looked up to InuTaisho for a second then he tilted his head to show that he was submitting to him. He said, "I submit, milord."

InuTaisho nodded and summoned two servants. The servants came quickly. "You summoned, milord?"

InuTaisho, without looking at the servants, said, "Yes, take my daughter's fiance to the infirmary."

"Yes, right away, milord." The servants went to help Hikaru up and took him to the infirmary.

Once Hikaru was out of sight, Sesshomaru said, "Father, must you be so aggressive towards him?"

"He wanted me to give him a good match. I gave him my all. He wanted to prove that he could protect Inuhime with all of his might."

Inuyasha marveled at his father's strength. He wasn't surprised that he wasn't breaking a sweat. "So, old man, did the bastard passed?"

InuTaisho turned to look at his youngest. "You didn't hear me calling him your sister's fiance, didn't you?"

Inuyasha blushed in embarrassment because he didn't heard him calling Hikaru, Inuhime's fiance. Natsume giggled at Inuyasha's expense, which made Kagome giggled with her daughter. Then Natsume yawned.

Sesshomaru noticed his daughter's yawn. "Mate, it seems that Natsume wants a nap." Kagome nodded in agreement. She started walking towards the exit, when Inuyasha yelled, "Wait, Kagome!" He walked quickly to catch up with Kagome as she continued walking to her bedchambers to put Natsume to sleep. Sesshomaru followed them from behind.
-

InuTaisho and Inukimi went to the infirmary to visit their son-in-law to see how he was doing. Naomi, the head healer, was tending to Hikaru. She gave him something for the pain. She felt the former lord and lady entered. She looked over her shoulder and smiled.

"He'll be fine. He asked me over and over again if he would be healed by midnight. He told me why, too." She chuckled. "He's so much in love with your daughter that it shows to everyone."

InuTaisho and Inukimi chuckled. "Yes, this InuTaisho knew how he felt even before the Toriko incident. This one had always wondered why he'd never say anything before."

Inukimi chuckled, "He thought that we wouldn't approve of their mating. So, he'd never said anything until now."

Naomi said, "You can't blame him, really. You, two, are very intimidating. For him being so young then it's no wonder."

"Will he be heal by midnight?"

"That's entirely up to him, milady." The couple nodded in understanding. "However, I believe that his eagerness will speed his recovery quickly. It's nearly dinner time, so he still have plenty of time to recover in time." The couple nodded again.
-

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sesshomaru walked to their bedchambers. Inuyasha was uncharacteristically quiet on their way there. There were no insults or anything from either brother. Perhaps, it was because Natsume was already asleep by the time they'd arrived at their rooms.

"Alright Inuyasha spill it," Kagome demanded.

"Feh, spill what?"

"Inuyasha you are very quiet. That's not like you at all. Now tell me, what's going on?" Inuyasha's ears pulled back of his head and a quiet 'oh' came from him. Sesshomaru knew there was something wrong. It was the way he was acting.

"You want me to leave little brother." It was more a question than a statement. What surprised the couple, he shook his head.

Kagome hesitated to ask, "I-is everyone alright? Is Sango, Miroku, Kohaku, and the kids alright? Please, Inuyasha, I can't take anymore. Please just say it."

Inuyasha sighed. "Kagome, everyone is fine. They're healthy as a horse." Kagome noticed that there was sadness in his tone. "Kagome, Kikyo left me."
-

It was now midnight. Inuhime has been waiting for Hikaru. He was late, that was a bad sign because he was either early or right on time. She fidgeted on the blanket, that was on the cool, green grass beneath it. She sighed. Perhaps, he doesn't want to talk to her. She stood up and going to leave when Hikaru had shown up. She was going to yell at him for being late. However, before she could Hikaru said while having something behind his back, "I'm sorry for being late. After I recovered from a duel with your father, I hurriedly gotten dressed and then I came as quickly as I can."

He revealed the something that was behind his back. It was a box. She raised an eye brow. Then he opened it up for her. It was a courting gift. She touched it and then looked up at him. She knew what it was. It was his mother's necklace that she got from his father before they mated. The necklace was exquisite. The chain was made of gold and the pendant was made of silver and gold. The pendant was a symbol of unity.

While she was looking at it, which was still in its box, Hikaru said, "Inuhime, when my mother died, she told me when I ever find someone special to me. I should give it to her, but only if I was intending to mate the woman. Do you remember when I'd shown it to you?" She nodded. "You wanted to put it on to see how it would look on you." She smiled at the memory.

"It was before the annual ball; before I was being courted by Toriko." He nodded. "I remembered you put it on me. I remembered that we were looking in the mirror to see how it looked on me. You made a comment that it looked perfect on me."

"This was my mother's mating gift from my father."

Inuhime nodded. "I know you told me that before you put it on me." She thought back to the time before she went to the trials, when Hikaru unexpectedly showed up and kissed passionately. Just thinking about it made her blushed. Hikaru noticed. "Hikaru, why did you kissed me?"

His eye brow quirked. "Wasn't it obvious, Inuhime? I love you. I loved you then, too. I was a coward for not asking your father, then. I asked Sesshomaru after your father died. I was given another chance when you returned. I wanted to find you and runaway with you as faraway as the ends of the earth, if the Kami was willing. Sesshomaru had asked me if I was still interested in you. If I was then I must ask your father's consent to court and mate you, since his consent was then invalid." He paused. "What I am asking you is for you to spend the eternity with me. Will you, Inuhime, princess of the Western Lands, be my mate?"

She was still looking at the pendant until he asked her to become his mate. She didn't hesitate to kiss him for her answer, which must had shocked him. She pulled back and blushed. "Yes, Hikaru, I will be your mate forever and for always." He smiled and he pulled her to him. He pulled her into a passionate-filled kiss, like the first one, but deeper and sweeter.

When they broke their kiss, they were panting heavily. "Inuki, my one and only, I can't wait anymore for you to become my mate. Would you..." He didn't need to finish his question because Inuhime kissed him as she made him sit down on the ground with her, the pendant forgotten.

She broken the kiss, "Make me your mate under this midnight moonlight."

He undressed her slowly. For him being so eager, one would think he would rip her cloths off. However, he was a gentleman. After he finished undressing her, he looked from top to bottom. Inuhime was blushing and was going to cover herself, but he stopped her. "Never hide yourself from me, my love. You are so beautiful."

She blushed at his statement. He begun undressing himself a little more faster than when he undressed her. Inuhime giggled inwardly at his eagerness to undress. Once finished with those troublesome garbs, he had kiss Inuhime as he laid her on her back. He kissed from her lips to jawline; to from her jawline to the junction of her neck and shoulder. He licked her pulse-point, which made Inuhime shiver. As he was kissing her, he fondled and massage each of her breast. He, then, kissed down to her chest and kissed each breast and then begun to suckled on her breast like a newborn babe. The things that she was feeling was nothing that she felt before.

It was more than what Toriko ever had done to her. She was in heaven. She felt him kissing from her breasts to her stomach and then went further to her most private area. Once he reached his treasure, he plunged into her with his long sensuous tongue, which made her arched her back further than she had when he was suckling on her breast. He had to hold her down with his big, clawed hands. He reached up to one of the breasts and massage it.

She yelled breathlessly, "Oh kami, Hikaru!" He smirked as he continued to feast on her until she reached her first orgasm. He made her come a few more times before he crawled back up to her and made her tasted herself. Then he positioned himself between her legs, she tensed up a little. He looked at her questionably.

"You want me to stop?" He knew how Akihiko was conceived and how many times Naraku had violently raped her. When he first found out what happened to her, he wanted to find Naraku and ripped his vile heart out and then tore him apart. He saw the fear in her eyes. He saw tears begin to roll down her flushed cheek. He rephrased the question, "Do you wish for me to stop? I won't be upset with you if you do." He wiped the tear off of her cheek.

She meekly apologized, but she said, "Please continue."

"Are you..."

"Yes, please."

As he penetrated her, he kissed her deeply until they had to breath. She moved his hips forwards with her legs. He at first started slow then as she practically demanded him to move quicker and deeper, he obliged her. She was screaming his name over and over again. It was getting so intense that their beasts made an appearance. Their love-making, at first, was filled with passionate screams to growls. It became animalistic, when they'd reach their peak. As they came, they'd bit each other at the same places; the pulse-point. Hikaru howled in content. He howled so loud that the male inuyoukai in the palace howled along with him. When Hikaru stopped howling, he rested beside her. They were so exhausted that they'd instantly fell asleep.

Could you imaged who would fuss and who would be startled by a sudden howling from two male inuyoukai?
