Kagome wakes up warm, chest to chest with him. She smiles and lifts her chin slightly and inhales against his neck. She is surprised he is still here.

"Woman, you are far too sore to take me again but if you keep doing that I will have no choice,"

She scoots away slightly and her eyes meet his. They are soft at first but then Kagura's voice outside turns his mask back on and he slips out of bed. Kagome sits up, wrapping the sheet around her "Where are you going?" She asks watching him dress. As he places his swords back he turns to look at her and she knows where he is going.

She hopes for their sake that she didnt manage to kill the dragon.

"About her-"

"She will pay for her trickery, as will he,"

But what did that mean? Kagome looked down.

"Tell me, will it anger you or ease you if I free her from my name?"

Kagome looks up quickly, "You're going to dismiss her?"

"Would you have me keep a snake in my bed?"

Kagome did not get to say anything as Kagura walked in, clearing her throat "I have kept them at bay as long as I can,"

Sesshomaru adjusts his swords and looks at Kagura "Stay with her,"

She bowed her head and he vanished.

Kagura looks at Kagome and smirks.

"What!" Kagome snaps,

"You sure showed him,"

Kagome's face blushes and she looks away. "Did I kill her brother?"

Kagura sits and pours a drink of water "Thankfully no,"

Kagome groaned "I've started a war haven't I?"

"That remains to be seen, but then, what did you think would happen?"

Kagome glares at her "I wasn't really going to, you know,"

Kagura almost spits out her water, "You sit here naked, covered in his seed and yet you are too shy to finish your sentence?"

If Kagome had something to throw at the woman, she would have.

"I wasn't,"

"But It looked like you were,"

"You know I wouldn't have gone through with it,"

"I know that,"

"He should have known that,"

"He knows that too,"

"He was so angry Kaugra,"

"Of course, he was, your his,"

"Dont say it like that,"

Kagura blinked, did Kagome not really know, even now as she sat covered in his scent?

"What do you think will happen now?"

"He will release her,"

"You seem sure,"

"She should die for her trickery,"

Kagome slides out of bed, the sheet covering her. "Does that mean I should die for mine?"

"I should think having your virginity was punishment," Kagura smirked "He is a sadist like that,"

Kagome huffed and got dressed.

"You got what you wanted in the long run ne?"

"Got what I wanted!" Kagome gasped "Are you kidding me!"

This time Kagome did find something to throw and it missed Kagura just barely as she bolted out the door with laughter. But her laughter died when she came face to face with none other than Lord "Lord Tashio!" Kagura bowed deeply.

Kagome came out ready to smack Kagura when her eyes landed on the great Lord himself, "Inu papa!" She rushed to him, "Please take me back with you!" But he did not smile at her, or open his arms to her. He merely looked down at her.

She froze, lips parting "My Lord?" She asked confused. Then she saw the men behind him. The war was happening sooner than later. He was not here for a happy visit that was sure.

"I can fight, please let me fight, take me with you!" She begged,

"Kagura," His voice was calm but deep, his eyes did not stray from Kagomes.

"My Lord,"

"Take Kagome back inside to rest,"

Kagura gently grabbed Kagome by the shoulder and pulled her back inside.

"I, I dont understand," He had never treated her like that before.

"You will soon," Kagura whispered.

Sesshomaru would no doubt return soon.
