Hey everyone. I am soooooo sorry I am now posting this final chapter. It took forever to finally finish the story but here it is, chapter 5 part 2. Enjoy!


Chapter 5 - Submit to me, part 2

Turning the corner with Mizu beside the miko, she saw her mate locking his eyes on her hungrily.

She giggled softly and dismissed Mizu with a gentle hand gesture as she sweetly gave her mate a smile, "My lord, shall we?"

Sesshomaru's beast began to purr in his thoughts as Kagome approached him gracefully resting her hands on her tiny growing stomach. 'Mate looks sexy for our bonding ceremony, especially with her being pupped.'

'Indeed, beast, but not as sexy as when we made her our bitch,' thought the daiyoukai as he slowly smiled back at his mate.

"Hn. We shall koiishi," purred the tall daiyoukai sliding the shoji open.

As they both entered the room the shoji was closed behind them...


The Next Day- The Day of the Celebration

As both Kagome and Sesshomaru entered the room, Jaken ran and bowed at his lord's feet, then turned his body to look up at the counsellors.

"Oh Great Counsellors of the Inu clan, I present to you Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands and his mate Kagome the Shikon Miko of Edo!"

"Arigatou, you may move to the side with Lady Inukimi, Jaken." Lord Nao gave a stern look at the kappa youkai who now scurred quickly to the left of the room. Gesturing a hand to come closer, Nao spoke once more. "Sesshomaru. Kagome. You may come forth you two."

Both walked toward the counsellors. Kagome scanned the room quickly as they walked ahead.

The room was probably the same size as the tea room but looked more like a ritual type. Candles were lit all over the room. In front of them standing at the altar waiting on the couple were the counsel, Sesshomaru's grandparents. To the right of them sat Inukimi and Jaken as witnesses to the bonding ceremony. As Kagome and Sesshomaru got to the altar, they stopped and bowed respectfully at the counsellors.

As the counsellor spoke, both Sesshomaru and Kagome were instructed on slicing their palm and performed a blood-bonding ceremony. This resulted in the miko passing out from the mixing of their blood.


The Very Next Day- The Actual Ceremony

Kagome moaned softly as she began to stir.

"Mate," said Sesshomaru softly as he got off his knees and sat down on the bed gently.

"Sesshomaru... why am I in bed?" Kagome asked while staring up at him lazily.

He began nuzzling his nose against her cheek. "I was afraid you would've not awoke, mate."

"What do you mean?"

Sesshomaru pulled back and looked into her eyes which were filled with confusion and concern, "Koiishi, you've been out since the moment the bonding ceremony finished. The celebration was moved to today instead."

"What?!" cried Kagome as she tried to sit up.

Sesshomaru placed a hand on her back and his next hand in hers as he helped her sit up so she wouldn't injure herself or cause stress to the pup, "You may want to take it easy... your appearance has... slightly altered as well."

"My appearance?" she asked confused now. She pushed her mate out of the way and rushed to the mirror.

"Oh my god! What happened? I'm not even ningen anymore! I'm I'm-"

Slipping into the bedroom chambers, Inukimi made her way to her son's mate, "Hai you've become inuyoukai but you have your miko powers so, therefore, you're a miko inuyoukai. A very rare breed."

Kagome turns and looks at Sesshomaru. She growls and slaps him across the face with reiki. "Did you know about this?"

Growling as the daiyoukai rubs his face, his eyes began to bleed red and his claws extended, "Mate, submit or I'll force you to!"

"Alright, the both of you. That is enough," sighed Inukimi as she comes between the couple. She turned to look at Kagome who growled lowly while she crossed her arms. "Kagome, nobody knew this would happen. We figured your powers wouldn't have affected Sesshomaru's blood and clearly, they did. He has some of your reiki flowing in him too that's why you couldn't even burn his face with your reiki, Kagome."

Kagome looked back at the mirror examining herself. Sesshomaru was right, her appearance was slightly changed, but she was still herself. Her raven locks were longer reaching her ankles. Her eyes were now a radiant sapphire with a hint of violet. She had pointy elf-like ears like her mate. Her body was more shaped; hips wider and a bigger bust. "At least I look prettier. Geez, even my boobs got bigger and my hair got longer too! My eyes look so majestic!"

The miko looked back at Sesshomaru and sighs softly. She reveals her neck for submission, "Gomen ne..."

"It is fine," replied Sesshomaru as he gave his mate a small weak smile, "It's going to take a lot for you to get used to. The only thing that's different is your ears and eyes. You still look the same."

A soft knock is heard on the door.

"Enter."

Mizu comes to the room with a tray of food and bows her head. She then makes her way to the side table and places the tray there before turning to everyone else. "Konnichiwa lady mother, Milord and milady. I am glad you have finally awoken, Lady Kagome. Here is some food to nourish yourself and the pup. Lord Sesshomaru, I was told by Jaken that guests are slowly arriving for the celebration."

Sesshomaru nodded his head. "Hn. Have my Lady's guests arrived yet, Mizu?"

"Hai, lord Sesshomaru, they have," says Mizu as she nodded her head.

"Excellent," says Sesshomaru "Please send them to their rooms. The Lady will be with them after she nourishes herself and the growing pup within her. That will be all for now." He then turns to look at his mate "Koishi, eat. Mother will assist in getting you dressed afterwards. I shall tend to the other guest in the meantime."

Kagome opened her mouth, about to protest but Sesshomaru gave her a slight growl causing her to close her mouth and then spoke softly, "You need to eat. You have been asleep for a day and our pup needs to be fed. You can greet the taijiya, houshi and your kit after."

She sighs and nods her head. She knew he was right. Her well-being was more important right now than attending to her friends. She walked back to the bed and sat down with her mate behind helping her sit comfortably. "Okay."

He kisses her forehead and turns to leave their bed chambers. "Mother, you know what to do and I trust you won't cause any damage."

Inukimi growls at her son before he closes the door on her. "Miserable pup! I want the best for my grand pup and daughter now go be a bore and tend to guests!"

Kagome snickers as she sips her tea. The relationship that those two had was quite humorous. Who would have known that the hate that Sesshomaru had for his mother would be entertaining for the miko inuyoukai?

After pretty much swallowing down her meal, Inukimi helped Kagome slip into her several layers of kimono.

"Lady Mother, when is the start of this party?" asked Kagome quietly as she sat in front of the vanity while Inukimi began to pin up Kagome's hair.

"Party? You mean the celebration of you my daughter?" replied Inukimi as she continued to do her hair. "By sundown, it should start. The sun is soon to set and with most of the guests here, I am sure everything is finally in order. Do not fret. You will see your friends once you are in the event hall. I can smell you becoming anxious."

"Gomen." Kagome blushed a bit and gave a small smile. "It has been a few months since I last saw them. I really did miss my friends."

Inukimi gave her a warm look as she finished the last touches to Kagome's hair. "No need to apologize. Now come along. After all of the training and etiquette I have taught you, is time for you to show everyone why you are worthy of being Lady of The Western Lands."


The Banquet Hall - The Celebration

The evening approached very quickly. All guests had arrived and chatted with each other waiting eagerly for the ceremony to start momentarily. Each region's Lord and Lady were here to witness such an act along with those who were friends of the new Lady of The Western Lands.

Lord Nao and Lady Inuhime walked side by side to the front of the room clearing their throat to get everyone's attention and announced joyously. "The Lord and Lady of The Western Lands have arrived!"

All chattering slowly dispersed and everyone's attention shifted to the front of the room. The doors opened and the coupled proceeded to where the council stood, accompanying them with Lady Mother behind. Everyone in the room gasped as they saw the couple. Bowing at Sesshomaru's grandparents, respectfully, the couple took their seat side by side with Lord Nao and Lady Inuhime, standing to the left of them while Lady Inukimi stood to the right of them. Glancing at the council with a slight nod at her mother, Inukimi began to speak.

"My fellow guests. Lords, Ladies and close friends. I give you, Lord Sesshomaru and his new lovely mate, Lady Kagome, the Shikon Miko of Edo!"

A quick applause was given then Lady Inuhime spoke gently, "At this time, it is recommended that each region's leader give a short speech. Starting with the Northern Lands."

The crowd divided breaking the middle for the Lord and Lady of The Northern Lands to make their way to the front. Kouga and Ayame proceeded forward. They gave Kagome a quick warm smile and bowed at them. Kouga spoke first, "I, Lord Kouga and my mate Lady Ayame, accept and congratulate Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome as they are tied as mates."

"And on behave of our acceptance, we would like to continue being allies and close friends," said Ayame as she gave Kagome a big smile.

Kagome smiled back and mouthed a thank you to the couple before they retreated back to the crowd. Next was the Eastern Lands. Lady Toran and her mate exchanged their speech and then the Southern Lands did the same.

Lady Inukimi cleared her throat and gave a firm look at the guest, "I would like to thank all of the leaders for congratulating my son and his mate. As The Lady of The Western Lands, I would like to give my regards." Turning to Kagome, Lady Mother gave her a warm smile and bowed, "I, Lady Inukimi of the Western Lands accept Lady Kagome, The Shikon Miko as my daughter and the new Lady of The Western." Turning to look back at the guests and having back her firm emotionless mask back on her face, "It is time for my reign to end and I shall be stepping down as Lady of the West. After reigning for many centuries and being devoted to my late mate, Touga, The Inu no Taisho, the time has finally come to enjoy the remaining decades of my life. I truly believe that my son, Sesshomaru made the right choice and it is an honour to see the West take a new direction in having a brand new future ahead of us. Arigatou."

Lord Nao gives a warm smile as he gives the guest a toothy grin, "Now that the new Lady of the West has been officially blessed by the formal lady and welcomed by the other political leaders of the North, East and South. Let us celebrate this milestone!"

Everyone cheers and claps as the musical instruments begin playing.

OoOoOo

Kagome walked through the crowd searching for her friends taking her time as the layers of the kimono were slowing her down. Adjusting to her new transformation, she wasn't used to the different scents that lingered in the banquet hall.

"Kagome!"

Looking ahead her smile widened into a grin as tears came to her eyes. There stood Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kouga and Ayame waving at their friend.

"Minna!" she walked up to them giving Sango a hug first and made her way around to hug everyone else in the group. The inutachi and the ookami's congratulated their friend on her new endeavour with Sesshomaru.

"I know we said congrats already Kagome but seriously congratulations. We know how much your relationship with Ice Prince is to you, even though he gave me one heck of a punch a few months ago," said Kouga as he made a fist growling as he remembered the incident.

"Ya, I'm really sorry about that, Kouga. And thank you so much! How are your pups doing? I haven't seen you guys since I helped you deliver them Ayame," replied Kagome.

"The litter is doing very well. With the help of our pack, nights have been easy with feeding and getting rest," said Ayame as she grabbed Kagome's hands and grinned. "Honestly, Kagome, thank you so much for helping me deliver our pups. I know we have thanked you already but seriously, we wouldn't have wanted anybody else to help deliver them but you."

"You're most welcome!" Kagome gave her a soft smile and looked over to her left. She saw Sesshomaru who was talking to the Eastern and Southern Lords leaders with their mates as they sip sake. Her smile deepened as he glanced back and gave a slight nod of his head and a tiny smile was returned. 'I love him so much. Him and our pup that was growing inside of me.'

Cut off from her thoughts, Shippo jumped onto Kagome's shoulders and sniffed, "Mama, how come you smell different? You don't smell like a ningen anymore."

Kagome nervously laughed and peeled the kitsune off her shoulder placing him in Sango's arms. "Ya... about that. I do have something to share with you all...I'm not human anymore. I'm a miko inuyoukai now."

Everyone gasped and yelled out a what, causing everyone to quickly glance their way. Kagome nervously continued to laugh saying sorry while the rest of the guests turned back to what they were doing.

"How did this happen? And now that you mentioned it, your eyes have changed and your hair is longer," said Sango as she pointed out the most obvious indications of her difference.

"I have claws too," chirped Kagome showing them. She sighed happily and began to explain what happened during the ceremony yesterday.

"Interesting. So now you and Sesshomaru each have both reiki and youki flowing within your body," said Miroku as he pinched his chin with his index and his thumb, "Naturally, reiki and youki would collide and cancel each other out. This would probably mean that because are probably equally as strong that both of your energies and power have been intertwined as one. Very impressive."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"It is very rare for such a phenomenon to happen. Kagome this means you're a rare breed. You're probably more immortal than Sesshomaru!" said Sango as her eyes widened.

Kagome widened her eyes as well and placed her hand on her stomach. 'Would that mean that our pup would be god-like then?'

"I don't know what to say. I'm still getting used to my new form and I haven't tested my powers since we are expecting soon," said Kagome softly as she rubbed her stomach.

"Congratulations!" everyone said unanimously.

"Oh, my kami Kagome! That's wonderful! How long are you?" cried Sango as she smiled happily for her sister.

"But how is that possible? I don't sense anything, Kagome," said Miroku eyeing his friend suspiciously.

"Yeah, I'm with the houshi on this one. Your scent isn't different. Only of an inuyoukai now," grumbled Kouga as he crossed his arms.

"The pup is masking itself. So nobody can sense it. Unless any youkai with good hearing can hear the heartbeat. That's how the council figured that out and the whole time we didn't even know," said Kagome happily as she stopped rubbing her stomach. "I'm just excited about my new chapter."

9 Months Later

Kagome stood on the balcony of her and Sesshomaru's bedroom chambers staring at the moon as it illuminated the night sky. Smiling to herself, the miko inuyoukai thought about the first time she was on this balcony. 'It was like yesterday when I first stepped onto this balcony...'

Flashback - a year ago

It had been hours of travelling in the light orb. They flew across the night sky in the Western Lands and landed gracefully on a balcony of a castle. The inu daiyoukai came out of the light with his woman in his arms. He placed her down on her feet gently. The miko looked around and gasped as she stared over the balcony. She continued to scan the area, "Is this all of your home?"

He smirked as he quickly began to take off his armour, taking his swords out of his obi and placing them against one side of the shoji doors behind him. He then stood behind her watching her soak in the view of their castle, "This is just a view from the bedroom there is more to see in our home."

Kagome looked down and gasped as she saw a garden below. Flowers of various hues sparkled against the moon's radiance. Pathways and bushes were put in place with benches. There was even a pond in the middle of the garden. A small blush stained her cheeks as she smiled in amaze at the natural scenery. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around the miko and leaned over her, caressing his cheek against hers. "I'm glad you like it. It was my mother's garden and now it belongs to you, koi."

The miko blushed as she melted into her lover's arms. She stared at the half-crescent moon in the sky as its light shimmered onto them.

Flashback End

A tiny blush stained her cheeks and soon felt her mate's arms wrap around her pulling her into his muscular body.

"Are you well, koishii?" purred Sesshomaru as he nuzzled his cheek against hers.

A purr escaped her throat, humming with joy as she held him back, "I am perfect. I was just reminiscing about the first time you had brought me home."

Humming at the recalled memory, the daiyoukai nipped gently at his mate's neck wihle a hand snaked up and groped one of her breasts, "Ah yes... I recall we had a pleasurable time." Kagome moans as he continues to tease her. "I can smell your nectar dripping. Would you like for us to revisit this memory, mate?"

Before Kagome could respond, a tiny wail came from their bedroom chamber. She sighed softly, "Well guess we can't revisit that, Fluffy."

"It is alright. Go to bed, I will bring our little one to you."

Letting go of his mate, the daiyoukai retreated inside with Kagome following behind him smiling gently as she went to bed. She watched as Sesshomaru went over to the bassinet, picking up their daughter as she continued to wail softly. Walking toward the bed, a tiny fist grabbed onto his haori while she continued to cry. Sesshomaru hands over the pup to her mother purring softly to try and calm her.

Kagome takes her holding her close to her, revealing a breast and popping a nipple into her mouth to cease her crying. "There, there, eat up Sestuna. Mama's here."

Sucking gently and grabbing at her mother, puppy Setsuna, opened her eyes. Large sapphire with a hint of gold stared for a moment and closed her eyes. Sesshomaru sat beside his mate and rubbed her silvery locks, earning a noise of contentment from the pup.

"I know I keep saying this but, she is the most precious pup we have ever created," said Sesshomaru gently as he rested his chin on top of Kagome's head while he continued to rub their pup's head as she continued her feeding.

Kagome sighed gently as she rested her head on his shoulder. "She really is perfect... our little puppy."

Little patters of feet were heard outside of their bedroom chambers. Sesshomaru chuckled as he knew their children were approaching. "You may enter Shippo, Rin."

"Papa! Mama!" both cried as they burst through the shoji running to the bed.

"Shh... your sister's ears. Remember they're still very sensitive," said Kagome gently as she gave them a firm look.

"Sorry mama!" they whispered as they crawled into bed. "We want to sleep with you guys tonight."

Giving into the two, Sesshomaru nodded his head and they made themselves comfortable under the sheets, watching their new sister slowly dozing off during her feed and soon they both dozed off.

Sesshomaru peeled their daughter off of his mate and placed her back in her bassinet. Retreating to bed, the daiyoukai snuggled himself in bed having the children between himself and his mate.

They gave each other a soft stare and grabbed each other hands, intertwining as they got comfortable. "Aishiteru..."

"Aishiteru wa, koishii."

The End


This is the end of Beautiful Memories. Thank you to those who have waited over 3 years for this chapter to be posted. I do apologize for life and hardships getting in the way. Covid did a huge number on all of us around the world. The amount of heartache, headaches, and hardships, I went through was a lot to handle for myself. I wouldn't really say I am completely healed from my previous relationship, but I am doing a lot better than I was during 2020. This chapter was a huge challenge as this whole story was an inspiration for the love I had for my partner. And not being together, it was difficult to complete but I am glad that it is finally finished. Next, that needs to be finished is Chase so if you haven't started reading it or if you are interested, please feel free to read it.

Until next time,

A Lost Child From Heaven
