Chapter 3

Unexpected Guest

Kagome

"Daddy!" I whined, watching as he placed another shrimp into his mouth. He looked at me with confusion at my outburst.

"What did I do?" He asked, gulping down the shrimp. I reached out to grab one when a small hand smacked mine away.

"Kenta, put your shrimp away. You know how she loves it, but she cannot eat shellfish while pregnant." Mom scolded, making Daddy look shocked.

"So I have to give up my shrimp because she's pregnant?" He asked, making me cross my arms. I tapped my heeled foot against the floor, glaring at him. He let out a sigh before standing up, mumbling the entire way to the living room.

"Should you tease him so?" Mom asked as I giggled. It didn't really bother me that he was eating shrimp, but it was fun to make him pout.

"He might as well get used to it. My cravings are only going to get worse from here on out." I said, shrugging my shoulders.

Every week, we hold a night where the family gets together for dinner at Daddy's. Tonight, there was only Daddy, Mom, Sesshomaru, and I, due to everyone else being busy. Kaede had taken Rin and Shippo to the zoo while we were at work, and they were still there. Sakura was sick so InuYasha and Kikyou had decided to stay home. I could only imagine the excuses Sango, Miroku, Kouga, and Ayame had come up with, considering they were all hentai.

Sesshomaru had drawn the short end of the stick and was forced to go and grab the dinner while the rest of us waited. He fought the entire way, but I finally got him to leave, albeit a bit angrily, when I threatened that I would have nothing to eat if he didn't go and get it.

A knock at the door got my attention, and I made my way to it when Mom asked me to answer it since she was busy doing dishes. When I opened the door, I was shocked by the female standing in front of me. She had silver hair, just like the males in my family, but most of it was pulled up, leaving a few strands around her face. Her aura told me she was a demon, but she had no visible traits to suggest so which meant she was wearing a concealment spell.

Out of everything, her eyes were what shocked me the most. They were the same golden hue as Sesshomaru's. While all of the males carried golden eyes, they all held some sort of difference. Her eyes were so close to his that, if I didn't look at the rest of her, I could have easily mistaken her for him.

"Go and get your master, Girl. I wish to speak to him." She ordered, her voice cold. She looked down at me as if I was beneath the ground she walked on, and instantly, my anger began bristling.

"Master?" I asked, trying to keep my cool. She was Daddy's guest after all, and I had no right to disrespect her.

"Yes, the owner of this fine house. The one you work for. He goes by the name Kenta." She replied, making my eyes narrow.

"Wait, he isn't my–"

"Silence, Human Servant. You will do your job now and fetch him for me. Do not waste any more time." She interrupted. Instantly, my control exploded.

"Excuse me! Who do you think you are, barging in here and giving me orders like that?" I snapped, loving the way she looked at me shocked.

"Kagome, who is it?" Mom asked, walking up behind me.

"This woman should be beaten for her disrespect of her superiors." The female stated, looking towards Mom as if I was no longer in the room.

"I'm still here, you know." I growled.

"Kenta!" Mom called, eyeing the female suspiciously.

"What, Woman? Can't a demon eat his shrimp in peace?" He growled, walking into the room. He froze when his eyes landed on the female at the door and I knew he knew who it was instantly.

"You two get behind me." He ordered, his voice not leaving any room for discussion. Mom and I did as he asked, looking from behind him at the stranger.

"Kenta, why do you protect your servants?" She asked.

"They are not my servants. They are my mate and daughter. Why are you here, Satori?" He asked, his shoulders tense. It was obvious that he didn't want this Satori here, but I could tell she was not one to back down either.

"I wish to see my son." She answered and realization snapped through me, causing me to gasp. This was Sesshomaru's mother.

"You gave up any right to him the moment you made that deal. Leave. You are not welcome here." Daddy answered, making her eyes narrow.

"I will not leave, and you know just as well as I do that you will not make me. You will not lay your hands on a female, no matter how much you dislike her. If my son wishes for me to leave after he learns of me, then I will do so." She stated, forcing her way into the house. She glared at me before turning back towards Daddy. "This one needs a leash, Kenta."

"I wouldn't talk bad about her if I were you." He warned, grabbing my arm and pulling me closer to him.

"And why not? She is just a human. There is no demon blood within her, other than the hanyou she carries. That, in itself, is an abomination. I do hope that it is not yours, Kenta." She replied, making her way to the living room.

"Now wait just a damn minute." I said before Daddy placed his hand over my mouth. I looked up at him, confused, but I could see the anger in his eyes as well.

"Do not speak of my daughter in such a way, Satori. You are correct. I will not force you to leave, but Sesshomaru will have no problem with doing so. I, however, warn you not to speak badly of Kagome and her pup. I cannot guarantee what she will do, nor will I stop her." Daddy warned before releasing me. Satori looked thoughtful for a moment before looking towards Daddy again.

"Our son's name is Sesshomaru?" She asked, her voice holding a softness to it. I was taken aback by her new tone and my curiosity spiked. Why did she want to meet Sesshomaru now? It's been over thirty years and she has never tried to before.

"Yes." Daddy replied before turning softening eyes to Mom. "Izayoi, would you please make some tea for us? Kagome, go sit down. I do not wish for you to be stressed."

"I'm fine, Daddy." I replied before getting a glare that told me it was an order. I looked at Mom, who gave me a nod before turning to the kitchen. I made my way to the living room where Satori now sat on the couch. I sat in a recliner on the opposite side of the room. Daddy joined us and sat in the chair beside me, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. His chin rested in his hands and he eyed Satori with barely concealed anger.

"You do not have to look at me so. I will not cause harm to those you protect." Satori said before turning to me. "Who is the hanyou's sire, Human?"

"Kagome. My name is Kagome. If you want me to answer your questions, call me by my name." I said, crossing my arms in front of me.

"Do not question her, Satori. You are here for Sesshomaru, and he will be here shortly." Daddy ordered. I had never seen this side of Daddy, and I had to admit I felt kind of bad for Satori. Just then, we could hear the front door slam, and I knew that everything was about to go downhill.

"Father, if you make me return to that horrid place, I will melt it with my poison." Sesshomaru warned, walking into the living room. He carried the bags of food over his shoulder but stopped to stare at the stranger in the room.

"Sesshomaru, I'm sure you have guessed who this is." Father said as Mom walked in with a tray full of tea.

"Leave." Was the only word out of Sesshomaru's mouth.

"I will do so after we talk. At least give me a moment of your time." She asked, her tone back to its softness.

"Why should I give you any of my time when you could not give me any of yours?" Sesshomaru asked, setting the food down on the coffee table.

"I was honor-bound to give you to your father. He would not let me out of our deal." She said, instantly making Daddy snarl.

"Do not pin this on me, Satori. I gave you multiple chances to be in his life. I even asked you if you wished to break our deal to be his mother. You never once took any opportunities offered to you." He yelled, standing up to his feet.

"You knew I wanted to keep him, but you also knew I would not break our deal. You should have broken it instead." Satori yelled back.

"I would never have broken it and taken the chance of you keeping him from me. He is MY son, and I was not willing to give him up because of your honor." Daddy yelled back, much louder than Satori.

"Maybe we should all calm down." I interrupted before red eyes turned towards me.

"You are but a lowly human, and you will not speak on these matters. You should not even be present in this room, let alone command anything from us." She snapped, making me flinch. In an instant, Sesshomaru was standing in front of me, hunched down in a snarl.

"You will not speak to her in such a way. She belongs here more than you ever will. Not only is she above you, she could kill you without even trying!" He snarled. I didn't have to see his face to know that his beast was surfacing. I gently grabbed his arm, silently asking him to calm down. At my touch, he stood up straight and turned to me. He placed a hand on the small of my back and looked down at me, making sure her words didn't hurt me.

"As you can see, Satori, Kagome is Sesshomaru's mate. She carries his pup, which you consider an abomination. As long as you continue to think of humans as being beneath you, you will never get your son to accept you. It is time you left." Daddy said, going to stand beside Mom and grabbing her in much the same way as Sesshomaru held me.

"Fine. I will leave for now to let things settle, but I will return. I did not get what I desired today, but I will not give up." Satori explained before taking one last look towards Sesshomaru. She silently made her way from the living room, not looking at anyone as she passed.

We all remained silent as we thought about what had just happened. I looked up at Sesshomaru to see his eyes deep in thought. I knew he had conflicted feelings. Even I would have conflicted emotions at seeing someone who I thought I would never see. I grabbed his hand and he looked down at me before kissing my forehead gently.

"Let's eat." He said, walking to the table and passing out the food. It seemed that, no matter what, we could not get past the awkward silence that Satori left behind. I worried for Sesshomaru and what he was feeling. I know if the people who gave birth to me showed up, I would be an emotional wreck.

Sesshomaru

I stood in my closet, pulling on my pajamas for the night. My mind was still stuck on the female who birthed me who was suddenly trying to invade my life. Why now? After all of these years, why was she trying to act like a mother now?

All this time, I had never thought about her, never wanted to meet her, never wanted to know her. Now, all of that was thrown out the window. While I was furious with the insults sent towards my mate and pup, I could not deny I was curious. This was someone who I thought I would never see, yet here she is.

Just from one meeting, it was easy to see that Father's words were true. She was obviously stuck in the old ways, back when humans had been inferior to our kind. While I never lived in that era, even I had little patience for humans, at least until Kagome. Even so, my…mother's hatred for humanity was very apparent. That will not do with my human mate and hanyou pup.

"Sesshomaru?" called the soft, calming voice of my mate. I looked up to see her looking at me with concern in her eyes. As much as I tried to hide it, she could still see just how much my mother's appearance had upset me.

"Come here." I said, holding out my hand for her. She closed the distance and I wrapped my arms around her before nuzzling into her neck. The scent of her mixed with our pup calmed me more than she would ever know.

"Are you okay?" She asked, placing her hands on my bare chest.

"I have you. As long as you remain by my side, I will always be okay." I whispered, closing my eyes.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She replied, leaning her head against my chest. I didn't reply. Instead, I picked her up bridal style and held her to me. I walked slowly to our bed before setting her down and making sure she was comfortable. When I was sure she was set, I went to my own side and climbed in.

"There is not much to talk about." I retorted, looking at her worried eyes. I knew if I wanted her to calm down, I would have to talk to her about it. I sighed, not liking where this was going. "I am…confused."

"Explain?" She innocently demanded, causing me to raise an eyebrow.

"I never wanted to meet her. I didn't care. I grew up without a mother and it never once bothered me. Now all of a sudden, someone who I thought I would never meet is barging into my life, demanding that I accept her." I admitted, surprised at how easy it was to talk to her.

"And?" She asked, trying to keep me speaking. I looked up at the ceiling before turning my head towards her. She was laying on her side, her head resting on her pillow while she patiently waited for me to talk.

"Now, I'm curious. This is the one who birthed me. I never thought I would ever meet my mother, yet here she is. I find that I want to speak to her, but her hatred for humans will not be tolerated. How can I ever get to know my mother when she hates my mate and pup? In truth, I will always choose you over everyone else so as long as she carries that hatred, there is no way I could speak to her." I admitted with a sigh.

"Maybe you should show her that not all humans are bad. Besides, she seems like the kind of person who respects power. I don't normally brag, but we both know that I have power, so much so that we are unsure of how strong I actually am. When she learns that I am the Shikon Miko, she may warm up to me. But I do think that, if she is to be accepted by you and the rest of the family, she needs to change her views on humans." She said, making me think.

She was right. While Kagome had power and may be accepted by her, our entire family was made up of a mixture of yokai, hanyous, and humans. If she cannot accept all of us, I cannot accept her. It made me wonder though, how easy would it be to make her see the new world? She has been stuck in the ways of the past for five-hundred years. Why would she change now?

"For now, don't think about her. She seems like a determined person, and I believe that she will do as she says and make another attempt. Until then, do not let her stress you out." She continued, making me smile.

"Woman, how is it that you know how to calm me?" I asked, turning on my side to look at her.

"Because you are my mate and husband. We were created for each other so who else can help you like I?" She replied with her own smile. I leaned over and kissed her on her forehead, thanking every Kami I could think of for bringing this woman into my life.

"Thank-you for loving me, Kagome." I whispered against her skin. She curled herself up into my chest as I leaned my chin on top of her head.

"Of course I love you. I am your soulmate." She replied before looking up at me, causing me to look at her. "You know, there is another way to take your mind off of her."

I raised an eyebrow at how her brilliant pink eyes suddenly held a wicked glint to them. My innocent little mate was not so innocent. I pushed my lips to hers, only all too happy to oblige to her helpfulness. After all, she was trying to clear my mind.

I slowly made my way to lean over her. I pushed my knee in between her legs, forcing her to open for me. I leaned on one of my elbows, making sure I didn't put too much weight on her or the pup. I nipped at her bottom lip, asking for entrance into her warm cavern.

She instantly opened her mouth to me, giving me what I wanted. I shoved my tongue into her mouth, savoring the taste of her. I could feel myself hardening as I explored her mouth, and I pushed my hips against hers, showing her what she did to me. She let out a moan and I pulled my mouth from hers so that we could breathe.

I turned my attention to her shirt and slowly pulled it over her head, letting my claws run along her skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps. I kissed her collarbone as I threw her shirt to the floor and nipped at her skin. I rumbled as I caught sight of her bare breasts, already puckered and waiting for me to give them the attention they deserved.

Of course, I could not deny their silent plea so I quickly moved my hungry mouth over a taut nipple and sucked it in. The sound of her gasp as I sucked at her, like our pup will soon do, was enough to make my own moan leave my throat. I placed my free hand on her lonely breast and squeezed down on the mound, loving the way it molded to my hand.

"Sesshomaru." She begged, her need growing already. I have to admit that, during the three weeks she has been pregnant, her desire has shot through the roof. I had heard that woman could go either way while pupped, and I was glad to say that hers went in the most pleasing direction.

Another thing I've noticed is that she seems more sensitive to my touch. It's as if my skin touching hers is enough to send shockwaves straight to her core. I cannot complain. It just means I will have to keep her pupped, which I have no problem with.

Removing my hand from her breast, but leaving my mouth on her other one, I slowly ran my fingers over her stomach before stopping at the top of her pants. I pushed them down, making sure she was bare to me so I could do as I pleased.

I released her bud with a pop and an aggravated moan from her. I kissed my way down in between her breasts, stopping just over her stomach. I placed my nose to her skin and took in a deep breath, smelling our pup nestled in her womb.

"Kami, Woman. The smell of you pupped is intoxicating." I said, looking up at her without moving my nose from its spot.

"You may just have to keep me pregnant then, Sesshomaru." She teased, making me growl.

"I plan on it. We have an eternity to have pups, and I do not plan on wasting any moment." I stated, making her blush. Without another word, I lowered my mouth to her folds and sucked in her pearl.

She was already soaking wet and I rumbled a pleased growl. This was the first time I have tasted her since being pupped, and her new flavor was driving me insane. She carried her normal taste with a hint of spice mixed in. I let go of her pearl and gave a long lick over her womanhood. She arched her back and fisted her hands in my hair with a load moan. I continued my slow movements until I was sure I had cleaned away all of her delicious juices.

When I pulled her clit back into my mouth, I pushed two fingers deep into her core. I moaned as she arched again, her legs tightening around my head. I loved how responsive her body was to mine. I loved knowing that no one else could get this kind of reaction from her, not that anyone would ever get the chance to try anyway.

When her walls clamped down on my fingers, and she let out a choked scream, I knew that she had fallen off of the cliff. I continued my treatment to her nether regions until I was sure she had come back to reality.

I basically had to tear myself away from her new taste to crawl back over her. The pain in my cock was becoming unbearable and I needed the friction of her walls to help relieve some of it. I quickly pulled off my pants and threw them to the floor before positioning myself at her entrance.

I pushed my lips to hers, shoving my tongue into her mouth so that she could taste herself. At her moan, I slowly pushed into her, inch by agonizing inch. I hissed at the feel of her sheathing my shaft deep within her liquid heat. It still amazed me just how tight she was, after all of the times I have taken her.

She still remained as constricting as she was when I had broken her barrier. I had a feeling she would always remain so, even after the birth of our pup. She wrapped her legs around my waist while her blunt nails tore at my back. I groaned and buried my face into her shoulder as I set a slow and steady pace.

"Please?" She cried, scratching at my skin.

"Please what, Little Mate? Tell me what you want." I growled out, licking at her mark.

"Go faster." She begged, squeezing her legs around me while thrusting her own hips up. I moaned at the feeling of her walls around me before giving her what she wanted. I would go faster, but I had a limit. I would not endanger our pup with our sexual desire for one another. In other words, I would not get rough.

"Kami, Ka-go-me." I said through clenched teeth. My hands tightened around her shoulders, pulling her further onto me. She let out a loud moan and arched her back again. I could feel her walls clamping down on me, indicating she was getting close to her release.

I picked up the pace again, going as fast as I dared to go. I lifted my face from her shoulder and pushed my lips to hers, knowing that I was about to fall over the edge with her. Without any warning, she tightened around me so hard, it was borderline painful. I pumped into her while she nearly screamed into my mouth.

With three more thrusts, my own orgasm overtook my body. My toes curled as I stiffened so hard, it would have seemed as if I was convulsing. I could feel myself shooting my seed deep within her already-filled womb. When I finally felt my orgasm subside, I fell down onto my elbows, still keeping most of my weight off of her. I leaned my forehead against hers as we got our breathing under control.

"See? Your mind is cleared." She scoffed, looking up into my eyes.

"With you gracing my bed, my mind is destroyed." I commented, loving the small smirk on her lips. I rolled over from on top of her, laying on my back. She turned to her side and nestled her head on my chest.

"The doctor called today." She said, making me look down at her as I wrapped my arm around her shoulders.

"What did she have to say?" I asked, a little worried.

"Well, you know how yesterday was our third appointment? She was able to do some calculating to find out how long I will be pregnant for." She informed, but stopped, making me wait for the results.

"Do not tease me, Woman. How long?" I growled. She gave a little chuckle and I rolled my eyes, knowing that she couldn't see. It seems I gave her the reaction she wanted.

"Six months, which means in five months and one week, we will meet our pup." She replied, making me smile. I was dreading that she would have a longer pregnancy, but it seems our pup carries a good amount of yokai in it.

"I am glad, my little miko. I do not think I have the patience to wait even that long." I replied, kissing the top of her head.

"We will meet him or her soon enough." She replied, her voice suddenly very sleepy.

"Sleep, my love." I whispered, rubbing her back. It didn't take long before she succumbed to the world of sleep, and soon, her steady breathing lulled me to join her.
