Recap of Last Chapter:

He had removed his own haori and sat down next to her. He pulled her into his lap and draped his haori over her. She rested against him, and with his arms placed firmly around her, the two of them drifted swiftly off into sleep, as did the rest of the group.

Chapter Ten: Truth Behind Strengthened Powers

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Kagome found herself sitting in her bedroom in the home of the tai-youkai that she found herself falling more and more in love with everyday that she spent with him. Inuyasha would come on the following day to take her back to her friends. She began to think about how Inuyasha would react when he found out that Sesshoumaru wanted to join them in their journey.

She and Sesshoumaru had actually become quite close in the past week that she had spent at the castle. She had spent more time talking with him, than teaching Rin. They had not yet kissed, but she was not sure if it would happen anytime soon either. She knew him now, and she understood that he was not the one to seem to rush relationships, although he had openly admitted to not ever having one. She also knew that they had been quickly falling for one another, that Sesshoumaru might even possibly see her as a potential mate, and adoptive mother to Rin.

She quickly realized that it was nearing time for breakfast and if she was not there, well, Sesshoumaru would certainly not be happy. She moved swiftly toward her closet and pulled out a soft blue kimono with a dark blue obi and but it on before going downstairs.

Breakfast went by as normal. Everyone in their normal seating, and it being a pretty boring event as usual. It was after breakfast that was different, they found this out as Sesshoumaru spoke.

“Rin, Jaken will accompany you to the library this morning so that you can begin reading. I wish for Kagome-chan to join me outside for a moment.” The lord smiled while looking toward the two ningens at the end of the table.

“Okay Sesshoumaru-sama!” Rin smiled brightly as she jumped up from the table and ran toward Jaken who was waiting by the door. Sesshoumaru arose from his seat and motioned for Kagome to follow him. They both exited the dining hall and then moved outside. She followed him outside and into the garden, she moved to walk beside him instead of behind him.

They continued to walk in silence, she was walking softly beside him, to the right. She began to think about the strong presence that the tai-youkai held. It was then that she noticed for the first time that Sesshoumaru did not wear his battle armor or the large fluffy appendage on his shoulder. She was starring up at his angelic face as he looked ahead of them. She was shocked slightly when he reached out his right hand, grabbed her left one, and laced their fingers together. She blushed and looked away from him as he gave her hand a slight squeeze.

“I brought you outside for a reason Kagome-chan.” Sesshoumaru stated.

“Oh, and what was that Sesshoumaru-sama?” Kagome asked as they stopped walking and he turned toward her, leaving their fingers intertwined

“I was wondering if you, Kagome-chan, would like to accompany me to the upcoming ball at the Eastern lands.” He smiled as he awaited for her reply.

“I would love to Sesshoumaru-sama.” She replied after she had taken a moment to think about his question.

“Are you sure? You will have to learn a few customs of youkai balls. Oh, and ballroom dancing.” He smirked at the look on her face at the mention of ballroom dancing.

“Sadly, I already know how to ballroom dance.” Kagome shook her head.

“Why is that a bad thing dear Kagome-chan?” The lord asked.

“It was a very scary experience, but for you Sesshoumaru-sama, I would to it again.” She blushed slightly upon realizing what all she had just said.

“Thank you Kagome-chan. You may return to Rin now.” He smiled as he, as always, placed a kiss on her forehead and released her hand. She nodded and turned from him and headed toward the library where Rin awaited her. Kagome walked quickly to the library and entered making Rin stop reading and look up from the book.

“You may go Jaken.” Kagome said to the creature that was standing inside the doorway. He complied and left quickly, mumbling something about insolent ningens. “Please continue Rin-chan.” she smiled as she sat down in the chair next to Rin.

Rin was currently working on her second book about Miko’s. This time, however, Kagome decided to actually pay attention. You never know, she might learn something important about who she is.

“Ano... It is a fact that Miko’s have a way of finding their true mate. Their soul mate of sorts. This is done by having this knowledge. While using any of her powers, if a Miko is touched by a person who increases the Miko powers, this person is the soul mate of the Miko.” Rin chan read and Kagome’s ears perked up.

“Read that again please Rin-chan.” Kagome said thinking that perhaps she had heard wrong. Rin read the same thing again. Kagome had heard correctly. When she had been healing Rin, her power was increased when Sesshoumaru had touched her shoulder. This meant that Sesshoumaru was her true mate, her soul mate.

‘Should I tell Sesshoumaru-sama?’ Kagome thought to herself. ‘I suppose that he does deserve to know the truth, he has already admitted to having feelings for me, maybe this will make things easier on both of us.’

“Rin-chan read this book for a while, I need to go show something in this book to Sesshoumaru-sama.” Kagome stated while picking up a book out of the pile that she had declared safe for Rin to read. She picked up the book that currently rested in front of Rin and marked where the paragraph about Miko soul mates had been.

She walked out of the room and decided to look for the tai-youkai in the last place that she had seen him. She walked outside and went toward the gardens. She looked around and did not find him so she went to the second most likely place to find him. His study. She walked down the hallways of doors until she stood in front of the door that would lead her into his presence. She knocked on the door softly, yet loud enough for him to hear.

“Damn-it Jaken, did I not just tell you to keep you baka self away from me while I’m trying to work you damn toad!” Sesshoumaru grumbled from the other side of the door. This sent Kagome into a fit of giggles. Sesshoumaru heard the laughter and then cursed himself for not smelling that it was her instead of Jaken. “Please, come in Kagome-chan.”

Kagome entered the tai-youkai’s study a soft smile still in place. “Hello again Sesshoumaru-sama.”

“Hello dear Kagome-chan. What can I do for you?” He questioned her as she began walking up to the desk that he was currently sitting behind.

“Rin and I have found something that you might be interested in knowing.” She smirked as she took the book and lay it out in front of him, the words turned so that he could read them. “Read this here.” She said while pointing to the incriminating paragraph. She watched as the tai-youkai’s eyes scanned over what she had asked him to read. His eyes grew slightly in shock as he finished reading it.

“I’m not quite sure I follow Kagome-chan.” Sesshoumaru said softly.

“Well, that which is explained here to happen between a Miko and her soul mate, is what happened to me when you touched my shoulder as I was healing Rin.” Kagome said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“That is not what a meant Kagome-chan. I only meant, are you showing me this because you wish to be my mate? Is that what you wish to come of us?” The lord asked while looking up at the young Miko expectantly.

“I am not yet sure, Sesshoumaru-sama. I just thought that you should know.” She said while looking down at the floor.

“I must tell you then Kagome-chan, that I would be honored to be able to call you my mate.” He smirked at her as her face grew hot while she blushed. He laughed softly at her. “It shall be then, that you and I will spend more time together, alone.”

“In my time that is called ‘dating’.” Kagome said while finally looking back up toward the tai-youkai.

“Are you trying to back out of this Kagome-chan? I don’t know how you can refuse when you already know that I am your true mate.” Sesshoumaru smirked, he might get what he wanted after all.

“Sometimes even soul mates don’t work out Sesshoumaru-sama.” Kagome stated truthfully.

“Please, Kagome-chan, think about my offer. I think you and I would greatly enjoy each others company, as mates.” He smiled as he reached across the desk and gently placed his hand on top of one of hers.

“I promise that I will think about it Sesshoumaru-sama.” Kagome blushed again.

“You may return back to Rin now Kagome-chan.” Sesshoumaru smiled as she let out an audible sigh at getting to leave his presence. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be around him, it was only that they were discussing a very intimate subject. Kagome smiled at him and walked out of the tai-youkai’s study and then turning down the hall to go back toward Rin in the library. She reentered the library and sat back down next to Rin.

“Please continue reading Rin-chan.” Kagome smiled at the small child while she moved to rest her elbow on the desk in front of her and her chin rested in the palm of her raised hand. This time she did not listen to Rin as the youji continued to read. She rather began to run a few things through her mind.

Her first thought was surprisingly that of the reaction that Inuyasha would have at finding that his close friend was his brother’s intended mate. ‘Yeah, I’m sure THAT will go over really well with Inuyasha.’ Kagome smiled to herself. But the question still lingering in her mind was did she want to be Sesshoumaru’s mate?

They would live for centuries together so making sure that he was the one she wanted to be with was a very important thing to do. She thought about it for a moment. She knew that Inu-youkai mated for life, but they did also mate for more than love. There was companionship, trust, and just a feeling of satisfaction of knowing that you were with the one person that you should be with. She knew that she and Sesshoumaru already had at least three of the four things.

There was companionship, they proved that by all of the time that they spent with one another and the fact that they could share their innermost thoughts with each other. Trust was definitely there, otherwise they would not be able to share those thoughts with the other. As far as knowing, well, she now knew that he was the one person that she was supposed to spend the rest of her life with.

But what about love? Did she and Sesshoumaru have that? She had to admit that she cared about him greatly. About his safety, well being, and happiness. But that doesn’t always have to mean love. She was sure that they both had romantic feelings for one another, but again that didn’t always mean love. ‘But wouldn’t all of those other things over time, create a love between us?’ She questioned herself.

‘Yes, it would. After a period of time, Sesshoumaru and I would love one another. As long as all of the other aspects of our relationship stayed intact.’

Then there was another pressing matter at hand. Would he expect her to create an heir to the Western lands. And would the heir be respected if it was a inu-hanyou-miko? It wasn’t very likely that it would. Would Sesshoumaru say the same thing that Kouga had once told her about creating heirs. That she would simply be there for a companionship and a female youkai would be given the duties of whelping his pups? This was something that she would surly have to ask him before she made her final decision. But she knew that just as it occurred everyday, now that Rin was reading much better, that after lunch she would find herself in Sesshoumaru’s company once again.

It wasn’t too much longer before a knock came at the door. “Yes?” Kagome questioned as she was brought out of her thoughts. The door opened slowly and Yumi stepped into the room.

“Lady Kagome, Lord Sesshoumaru-sama wishes for me to tell you and Rin-chan that lunch is ready.” The woman fake smiled before giving off a scoff at having to address said youkai and ningens in such a way. Kagome laughed slightly.

“Thank you Yumi.” Kagome said as she put the book that Rin was currently reading away before reaching for the youji’s hand so that they could walk together to the dining hall. The two ningens entered their door of the dining hall and sat down in their normal seats. After they had sat down Sesshoumaru came through his door and sat own at the head of the table, and the food was brought out and placed in front of them.

The group ate quietly with no interruptions in the meal. After they had all finished their meal, Sesshoumaru spoke up again.

“Rin-chan, why don’t you and Jaken go play with Ah-Un and ready him for the beginning of our journey, while Kagome-chan and I have our afternoon chat.” The lord suggested.

“Okay, Sesshoumaru-sama. Thank you for lunch!” She smiled as she followed the same procedure as she had that morning and hopped down from her chair and met with Jaken who was waiting at the door.

“If you will join me, Kagome-chan.” The tai-youkai smiled while motioning Kagome to follow him to his study, which she did. He sat down on a large chair, their being room enough for the both of them. This was not his usual choice in seating as usually Kagome sat across from him. He motioned her to take the seat next to him and she did as he requested. The turned toward one another and he raised an eyebrow. “I sense that you have a question Kagome-chan.”

“I do. While Rin was reading this morning, I began to think about your offer. I came across one question that I could not answer for myself.” Kagome said softly.

“And what is that Kagome?” He smiled, leaving out the -chan for once.

“I was wondering what you would do about producing an heir. Wouldn’t you want an heir who was a full blooded youkai?” She questioned him with a look of confusion on her face.

“It is true Kagome-chan that if you had not been from the future, I would only mate with a full blooded youkai so that I could have perfect heirs. However, you are from a time that is only 500 years from now. I have been alive for almost that many years myself, and I am not yet half my expected age. The youkai hold on the lands is starting to slip, and I don’t think that any heir, whether they be youkai or hanyou, would be able to stop that. I feel now that it is much better to mate for feelings rather than having a strong bloodline.” He answered as the miko began to ponder what he had just told her. “And now I have a question for you Kagome-chan.”

“Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama.” She smiled up at him.

“Do you think that it is possible for you and I to learn to love one another?” The lord questioned her. She had to admit that his question was not one that she expected to receive from him.

“I do Sesshoumaru-sama.” Kagome answered after a moments thought.

“Then why do you and I drag this out longer than what it needs to be?” He questioned as he placed his right hand against her cheek.

“That much I do not know my lord.” Kagome answered honestly while looking up to him.

“Then perhaps we should not waste anymore time Kagome-chan.” He smirked as he began to lean into her warmth. She soon found his lips upon hers in a soft kiss. He waited for a moment to see if she would respond. And she did, she too leaned up into his lips, applying more pressure between them. He felt both of her hands grasp the front of his haori and he smiled inwardly. He reluctantly pulled away from her and smiled as she gave out an almost whimper at the loneliness of her lips. “So, does this mean that you are now to become my mate Kagome-chan?”

“Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama, I would love to be your mate.” Kagome smiled up at him brightly and then leaned in to capture his lips once again.

Author’s Note: I’m sure that you all think that this should have been longer and that Sesshou-kun and Kagome’s relationship should have taken longer to develop but that would be why I added the soul mate part. You can’t fight with who your soul mate is... if that is the person you are supposed to be with... then that’s that. I just wish it was that easy for the rest of us. I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter... the next chapter will be the whole group all together... so imagine how much fun I’m going to have trying to keep everyone in the story.
