Kagome's POV
"I need to change." Currently I was wearing a simple t-shirt and shorts set that I changed into quickly to preform the ceremony. Sesshomaru nodded in agreement and I turned to Loki, "Will you help me with my armor?" He gave me a smile to match the same look in his eyes that makes me want to melt into his arms. Bad thoughts!! Need to focus!! I gave him a shy smile and turned to start walking to my bedroom.
About halfway across the room was when my father stopped us, "Where are you two going??"
I looked down at myself, "I would prefer something a bit more appropriate to wear for battle."
"And WHY is he going with you??" My father sounded like he was about to blow his top.
I, however, did not have any patience left, and gave him the signature Stark eyebrow, "Cause he's the only one here who is allowed to see me naked!!" Before he could fully explode, I put my hand up once more, "I do not have the time or, frankly, the patience to coddle you right now. You pretty much filled out and submitted our marriage certificate when you decided to ignore Shippo's warning. Loki is my husband now. You are either going to have to get with the program or learn how to cope. Now I'll going to change!" I walked away without giving him any time to respond. Luckily Loki stayed at my heels to whole time.
As soon as my bedroom door shut I turned to my new mate. Mate. Yea, that sounds so much better then husband. But he didn't want this. He had said as much before the ceremony. I needed to apologize! I looked back up at him to do so only to find him inches from me. Then his lips were on mine and the whole world faded.
Loki's POV
To say that I was angry about how the ceremony ended would be a lie. This extraordinary, beautiful goddess was now mine! And for her to claim as such in front of everyone there made me want to show her exactly how happy I was that that was true. We left her father speechless, and disappeared from anyone's view into her room. I shut the door behind me and turned to see my new love facing me looking extremely guilty. Did she think I was unhappy with the bonding? I suppose my words from before could have lead her to believe as much. It would have to be ejected from her mind as soon as possible. I was inches from her when she looked up at me with an adorable determined look that quickly changed into confusion. And I kissed her.
It was like I was drowning in her as I greedily tasted every inch of the little cavern that was her mouth. By the gods, I knew right then and there that I would follow this woman any- and everywhere and never want for anything ever again, as long as I had her.
When I finally let her have a chance to breathe she was panting and oh so ripe for the taking, but we had important matters to attend to first, "Beloved, as much as I would love to accept the invitation in your eyes, I believe we came in here armor." She blinked owlishly at me for half a second and then darted for the closest
She swung the doors wide open and walked in as she started taking what she had on, off. Dear gods, she was tormenting me. The closet was about half the size of her room with shelves, hanger racks and fully dressed manikins scattered throughout. The very back wall displayed all kinds of weapons with a manikin at the center that had, what I assumed, the armor she was looking to change into. We needed to hurry.
