Sesshoumaru Present

Chapter 12

Segumi received word that his son was coming to his home. He had his mate with him as everyone scrambled to get everything ready.

Izayoi was beside herself, as she rushed the servants around. Her mate did not give her much time to get all the preparations ready for this day. She just hoped that Kagome liked it as she hurried to her mate’s side.

Segumi was standing outside, looking towards the sky. His mate came to stand next to him as they waited for his son’s arrival. They heard the cheers of the people as they saw Sesshoumaru flying overhead. He spotted his son as he came into view. He could feel that something was different about Sesshoumaru as he came to land right in front of him.

Segumi immediately noticed the new markings on his son as his eyes opened wide. ‘Sesshoumaru has matured again and he is carrying his mother’s sword.’ He looked at the female with him and was surprised to see that she was a youkai. He thought that he was mating Kagome, so he had no idea what was going on. Then he caught her scent as he recognized it to be Kagome’s. He had no idea what was going on but he was going to find out.

---oOo---

Kagome was scared out of her mind when Sesshoumaru took off on a cloud. She moved closer to him as she wrapped her arms around his waist and hid her face in his chest.

Sesshoumaru chuckled as he saw his mate’s reactions. He wrapped both his arms around her as he said, “Mate, you don’t have to be scared, you know that I will not let anything happen to you.”

Kagome looked up from his chest as she asked, “Why are we traveling like this? I thought that you would use that orb thing of yours.”

“This is tradition mate. As the eldest son it is required that I fly low and slow so that everyone in the land knows that I have taken a mate. It is the only time they will see me flying over the city like this and they will all know what this means. If you look you can see the people gathering as they say their well wishes.” Sesshoumaru waited to see if his mate would look out over the land. He knew that she was scared of heights but she had to get over it.

Kagome heard his words as she slowly turned and looked out over the city. You could see everyone standing on the rooftops as they waved at them when they passed by. You could hear them cheering as the celebration was starting down below. Her grip tightened on her mate as she slowly turned so she could see what was going on. She was ok as long as she did not look down.

They were finally leaving the city as they were making their way to his father’s home. Kagome still had a death grip on her mate, but she was at least looking out in front of her. His father’s home came into view as they slowly went down. He landed right in front of his father as Kagome stepped to the side and they walked towards him.

Segumi looked at the little female and confirmed that it was Kagome. Then he turned his attention to his son as he waited.

Sesshoumaru bowed as was tradition and stated, “Father, I have returned home to present my life mate.” Sesshoumaru then turned and reached behind him as he indicated that he wanted Kagome to walk towards him.

Kagome swallowed hard as she walked forward and placed her hand in Sesshoumaru’s. He pulled her to his side as he stated, “Father, may I present Kagome, my life mate.”

Kagome took one step forward as she bowed in respect to his father.

Segumi smiled as he said, “Rise Kagome, daughter of my heart, welcome to my clan.” He then stepped forward and gave Kagome a warm hug.

Kagome was shocked, she did not expect this from Sesshoumaru’s father, as she returned the jester. When she pulled away from him she was still blushing madly.

Segumi chuckled as he saw how red Kagome was. He turned to his mate as he said, “Kagome, let me introduce you to my mate Izayoi.”

Kagome turned as she greeted his mate and then stepped back as she felt a nice warm tail wrap around her waist.

Sesshoumaru could tell that his mate did not feel comfortable with all the attention she was getting from his father and mate. His tail moved as it wrapped itself around her waist and pulled her back to his side. His arm went around her waist as his tail stayed to comfort her. When she relaxed in his hold he turned his attention to his father.

Segumi noticed when Sesshoumaru pulled the girl back to his side. His inner Inu was being very protective of his mate at the moment, something that was expected of him. He turned to his son as he said, “Come, and let us go inside.”

They all turned as they started walking back inside his home. Kagome was nervous since the first time she was here she did not have a very good experience. They all walked into his father’s study as Sesshoumaru moved to one of the chairs and sat his mate down. He stood behind her as his father and mate sat down on the sofa.

Sesshoumaru was not moving from his mate’s side as he could still feel that his brother was in the house. He was not about to leave her side when he had attacked her the last time she was here.

Segumi watched his son as he stood by his mate. Something was setting off his protection instincts and he did not know what it was. “Sesshoumaru, we have set up a reception for you and Kagome so that we may present her as your mate. The reception should start in a couple of hours. In the mean time, I hope that both of you will feel comfortable staying here.”

Sesshoumaru was not happy about staying for a reception. He did not need one nor want one. He could feel his mate’s anxieties, and he did not want to put her through all of this. She was just getting used to being his mate and she was still learning what it is to be a youkai. “Father, I wished you would have consulted me on when we should do this presentation. I only brought Kagome here to present her to you, as is tradition. I want to take her back home until she is comfortable with her new surroundings.”

Segumi understood what his son was saying, “I know that Sesshoumaru, but the sooner we get this done the sooner they will leave the both of you alone. You know that if the media gets wind that you have mated they are going to be after you. Plus, I would like to learn a little bit more about our new daughter. Her last visit here was so short that we never got to finish what we were discussing.”

Kagome heard his words and she was not willing to discuss anything more with him. Her life was hers and she would like to put the past behind her. She was about to say something when the door burst open and in walked the hanyou.

---oOo---

Inuyasha was pissed that he had to wait until his brother arrived at his home. He could care less who Sesshoumaru mated, but his father made such a stink about him leaving that he was forced to stay and wait. He felt when his brother finally arrived at the house and he had his new mate with him. It was another youkai. Inuyasha thought that Sesshoumaru took another female and left the ningen with the blue eyes free for the taking.

He rushed downstairs, excitement running through his body at the possibility of finding that Ona with the blue eyes. He wanted to get this meeting over with, so he could go and search for this female. He pushed the doors open to his father’s study and walked in. He saw his brother standing there in his traditional robes as his eyes locked on the female that was with him.

She was a beautiful youkai, but when he took in her scent, his eyes opened wide as he said, “You mated the bitch! She was supposed to be my mate not yours you bastard!” He leaped as he went after Kagome, but to everyone’s surprise it was Sesshoumaru that reacted to Inuyasha’s threat.

Sesshoumaru knew that his brother was going to do something like this as his tail whipped out and hit him square in the chest. Inuyasha hit the wall hard as he landed in a heap on the floor.

Segumi was shocked when he saw that Sesshoumaru had two tails. He still had one tail wrapped around his mate’s waist as he pulled her closer to his body. His other one whipped out and hit his brother in the chest, knocking him into the wall.

Sesshoumaru was struggling with his mate, as she wanted to go after the offending male. It was her right to punish him for insulting her, but as her alpha it was his right to deal with the whelp.

Kagome was seeing red as that bastard called her a bitch. Her temper got the better of her as she tried to go after him. Her mate was holding her back as he had her wrapped tightly in his tail. Her Reiyouku was slowly being released as she struggled to keep it under control.

Sesshoumaru felt the bite of Kagome’s powers as he flared his youki and engulfed her body with his own. He grabbed hold of her Reiyouku and protected everyone in the room. He moved her into his arms and he tried to sooth her fiery temper. He finally got her to calm down as her powers reseeded.

Once his mate was calm once more, he turned heated eyes towards his bother as he saw him getting up from the ground. “I expect that you will watch your tongue around my mate. She is to be treated with respect or the next time I will not stop her from purifying your ass. She is my mate and there is nothing you can do about it. Plus, you will never be strong enough to subdue a female of her caliber. She is my match and her powers are mine to control.”

Inuyasha wiped the blood from his lip as he got up off the ground. The female was now lost to him as he heard his brothers words. He bared his neck to his brother in submission as he left his fathers study. He knew that he was not out of trouble yet as he went to his room. Her powers were great and he felt drained of his youki. If his brother had not stopped her, she would have purified him.

The star in the middle of Sesshoumaru’s forehead was still glowing as he was holding his female. He was giving her soothing words to keep her calm as he rubbed her back.

Segumi was amazed at what he witnessed. He has never seen this much power come from his son before. He was more powerful than he was. He observed as he took care of his mate. He wanted a moment alone with his son as he said, “Sesshoumaru, with your permission, I would like to talk to you in private. You could leave Kagome here with Izayoi, she will not be harmed.”

Sesshoumaru was not happy with what his father asked of him. He did not want to leave his mate unprotected. But he saw that there was something that his father wanted to talk to him about and it was important. He turned to Kagome, stating, “Kagome, I want you to stay here with Izayoi, you will be safe here.”

Kagome nodded her understanding as he sat her back down in the chair she was occupying when she was attacked. She was not moving or saying a word. He could feel her sadness for causing him so much trouble as his tail went around her body to comfort her.

Sesshoumaru wished that he could just leave his tail with her so that she felt comfortable without him. Then as he thought about this, his tail moved as it detached from his body and it wrapped itself completely around his mate. This caught Sesshoumaru by surprise, he never knew that he could do this. It must be something new that he has received when he matured. He could feel when she ran her hands through the fur, growling low and deep for her. He nuzzled her under her chin and left the study with his father.

Kagome sat there as tears came down her cheeks. She was ashamed for losing her temper like that. She has never lost control, plus she could have killed everyone in this house if her powers got loose.

Izayoi looked on as she watched Kagome. She could see the tears going down her cheeks as she grabbed some tissues and then moved over to where Kagome was located. She handed her the tissues as she sat down in front of her on the ottoman that was there.

She watched as Kagome continued to cry, while she tried to comfort the girl, “Kagome, honey, please don’t cry.”

Kagome looked up as she said, “I’m sorry I almost hurt your son because I let my temper get the better of me. I have better control than that.”

Izayoi pulled Kagome into a hug as she said, “Don’t worry about it Kagome, I know that my son is not the most perfect person, and his mouth always gets him into trouble. But I think he has learned his lesson now and he won’t come after you any more. To do so will invoke Sesshoumaru’s wrath and he doesn’t want that. His brother has gotten a lot more powerful than he was before.”

Kagome heard Izayoi words as she started to clam down. Sesshoumaru’s tail was still around her body as it gave her a hug. She smiled as she felt that her mate was worried about her. She took her hand and ran her fingers through the fur, it was very soft to the touch and she loved it.

Once she got her composure back she asked, “Lady Izayoi can you tell me what is going to happen at this receptions.”

Izayoi thought for a few seconds as she said, “Well the reception is basically a wedding reception. I thought that you would like to have one since in youkai mating there is no formal ceremony but an introduction of the males mate. I do hope that you like it. I did try to make it with you in mind. We didn’t get a chance to talk the last time you were here but I would like to get to know you better. I’m hoping that we will be friends.”

Kagome smiled, she like that idea as she sat there and talked to Izayoi for a while.

---oOo---

Sesshoumaru was following his father to another room in his home, it was the den as they both entered and sat down in the chairs that were there.

Segumi thought about what he wanted to say, once he had his thoughts in order he started, “Sesshoumaru, you have gain great powers with your mating. I have also noticed that you have gone through another maturity of your powers. Your powers now exceed my own and you are carrying your mother’s sword. It is time for me to step down as lord of the land and it is time for you to take over.”

Sesshoumaru was blown away by his father’s words. He never thought that his father would willingly step down as lord. He thought about it, as he said, “No father you do not have to step down as I will not ask to take over. You are still the lord of these lands and I am content to stay the way I am.

“I have a new mate and I would like to spend some time with her. She is my priority at the moment and she is not used to being a youkai as of yet. She has much to learn and if I take over then I will not have time to teach her.”

Segumi understood where his son was coming from. He wanted to devote his time to his mate instead of running everything that needed his attention. He was happy that he declined being lord, but he was also aware of the fact that he could take over anytime he wanted.

Segumi noticed when Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and almost gave a growl. He was wondering what was going on, “Sesshoumaru is anything wrong?”

Sesshoumaru closed his eyes as he felt when his mate ran her fingers through the tail that he left with her. He could not believe that he could feel that but he could. He heard his fathers question as he said, “There is nothing wrong. Kagome is just running her fingers through the fur of my tail and I can feel it.”

Segumi smiled, as he understood what his son was saying. He could not believe that Sesshoumaru was able to detach his tail and leave it with his mate. It must be part of his new powers that allows him to do this. Segumi’s own tail was very sensitive and when his mate ran her fingers through the fur it was a feeling that he could not describe. He loved that feeling and he understood all too well what his son was feeling.

They continued to talk as Segumi found out what his son experienced when he mated Kagome. He also told him about the earthquake that happened last night. The afternoon was full of information exchange. When they noticed the time, they left the den and went to get their females.

When Sesshoumaru went back into his father’s study he noticed right away that his mate was happy. She was laughing as she was drinking tea with his stepmother and sister. He approached as he saw her turn to him. She gave him the biggest smile he has ever seen. His tail unwrapped itself from around his mate as it went back to his body. It settled on his right shoulder along with the other one and made it appear that he only had one tail.

---oOo---

Kagome was enjoying her time with Izayoi and Rin. It was funny when the little girl came in she immediately took to Kagome. She was full of curious questions as she gave her one of the flowers that she held in her hand.

Kagome felt honored that Rin would give up one of her prized flower to her. She sniffed the flower and closed her eyes in ecstasy. It was a Lilly and it smelled heavenly to her. She talked to the child for a short while as she told her about the different types of medicine that could be made with a Lilly.

Rin was surprised that a lot of medicines can be made with all of her flowers. She wanted Kagome to teach her and she got her promise that she would come back and teach what she wanted to know. Kagome told the young child that she can come and visit her at the shrine and she will be able to show her what to do with the flowers.

Rin turned to her mother with hopeful eyes. She really wanted to go visit Kagome at her shrine. When she got confirmation that she will be taken there she was happy. She left the two adults alone as she went back to her flowers. She was arranging a bouquet that she had picked from her garden.

Kagome was laughing at something that Izayoi said about Sesshoumaru when he was younger. She never knew that her mate could be so mischievous; she was going to enjoy her life with him as she got to know him a little better. She still had duties that she had to do and she was not about to give that up. She could not, she had too many people that were depending on her. She tabled that thought as she felt her mate coming into the room.

She turned smiling at her mate as he made his way towards her. He removed his tail from around her body and she was disappointed. She liked having the fur around her body but she knew she could not keep it.

Sesshoumaru turned to his mate as he said, “Kagome it is time for the presentation.”

Kagome was not happy. She was never good at large gatherings and she was nervous as hell. She got up as they walked out of the study and headed to the large reception hall that his father had in his home.

They waited outside in the hallway as Kagome moved closer to her mate. She was scared and Sesshoumaru picked up on her feelings. He turned to her and tried to reassure her, “Mate, calm yourself, everything will be all right. You will do just fine. Know that I am here with you and I will protect you no matter what.”

Kagome calmed her racing heart as the signal was given for them to enter. The doors opened and Kagome almost bolted in the opposite direction if it was not for her mate holding on to her.

Sesshoumaru tightened his hold on his mate as they walked through the doors. There were at least 300 youkai there to meet his mate. He felt her go ridged at his side as he held her to his side and walked up to his father.

Segumi noticed that Sesshoumaru was having trouble with his mate. She was being skittish and was ready to bolt at a moments notice. Maybe he should have waited to do this, once she was settled as Sesshoumaru’s mate. He did not have a choice now as he said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Lady Kagome, Sesshoumaru’s life mate.”

Kagome stood there as she looked around the area. She saw so many faces that she was nervous. When she was introduced she took a step forward and bowed, when she was done she moved back to Sesshoumaru’s side as his arm came around her waist.

The cameras were flashing as pictures were being taken, there were news reporters there asking a million questions on how they met. Kagome turned away from all the bright lights as it was hurting her eyes. She buried her face into Sesshoumaru’s chest trying to hide from all the people there.

Then Kagome’s senses started to pick up danger in the area. She forgets about her fear as she pulls away from her mate and starts looking around the room. She saw the attack before her mate was aware as a barrier went up around her and Sesshoumaru to protect them.

Sesshoumaru noticed that something was not right with his mate. She pulled away from his chest and she was looking around the area. He noticed a barrier going up around them as a powerful blast hit. His mate protected them from harm as he starts to hear the screams and shouting going through the room.

Everyone was moving away from where Sesshoumaru stood with his mate. Sesshoumaru looked for his father and noticed that he had his mate next to him as he was protecting her from harm.

Sesshoumaru had his mate secured to his body when he felt her trying to leave his side. He growled, “Stay here with me mate, we don’t know who just attacked us.”

Kagome was having none of it as she said, “Release me Sesshoumaru. I know who attacked us and unless we take care of them now they will attack again.”

Sesshoumaru had no choice, he could not tell who just attacked them but his mate knew who sent that blast. He released her as he followed where she was going.

Kagome was keeping her eyes on a group of youkai that were standing in the back of the room. Everyone moved out of her way as she was making her way there. She raised her hand as a barrier blocked all the exits. No one was going to leave this room until she had some answers.

Kagome stopped when she reached her goal. There standing in front of her was a group of two males and two female youkai. She could not detect what kind of youkai they were but they were about to pay for attacking her mate.

She stopped just a few feet away from them as she asked in a low but forceful voice, “Who are you? Why did you attack us?”

The youkai that were there looked at the female that was standing in front of them. She was an Inu youkai but there was something that was different about her. They did not know what it was but she was different.

When the demon lord presented her as Sesshoumaru’s mate they were all angry. Sesshoumaru was to mate their older sister, she was the most powerful female in the lands and it was her right to be mated to him. She has proven herself as the most powerful because she had defeated every other female in the land for that title.

The demon standing there took a step forward as he said, “We don’t have to answer your question, you whore. Sesshoumaru was to be my sister’s mate for she is the most powerful female in the lands. Then you come along and try to take that away from her.”

Kagome’s eyes were slowly turning white when she felt Sesshoumaru came up beside her. She felt his aura wrap around her body in order to calm her down. She was not about to calm down when she heard her mate growl. That growl was not a happy growl as she turned her attention to him.

Sesshoumaru followed his mate as he noticed where she was going. He noticed the group of youkai, they were lower level Inu’s that wished for a mating between him and their alpha female. But she was too weak for him so he had refused since his beast was not interested in her.

If he remembered correctly this was also one of the females that his father presented to him when she was in heat. He was hoping that he would want to mate her but that idea did not go over well with him, as he refused.

He stopped by his mate’s side as he heard what they called her. His mate’s temper was slowly growing as her anger was getting the best of her. He tried to sooth her with his aura but it was not having an affect on her.

He growled his disapproval at his mates actions as he turned his heated eyes to the Inu’s that were in front of him. “Hideki what is the meaning of this? Why have you attacked this Sesshoumaru and his mate?”

Hideki, leader of the brown Inu clan stepped forward, he bowed and stated, “Lord Sesshoumaru you were to mate our sister who is the most powerful female in the lands. She has proven her worth when she defeated all the other females in battle for this title. You dishonor your family by mating this wench who is not her equal.”

Hideki took a step back as several growls were heard around the area.

Sesshoumaru’s eyes bleed red when this fool disrespected his female as he snarled. But what caught him off guard was that his mate also snarled and was flexing her claws, as she was about to attack.

Sesshoumaru’s tail went around her waist to calm her but she was having none of it. He turned his heated eyes toward the Inu as he said, “Your sister is not a match for this Sesshoumaru. She is a weakling and her powers are nothing compared to my mate. You will leave and never return to these lands. This is the only option I will give you for attacking this Sesshoumaru and his mate.”

Kagome was standing there listening to everything that was being said. Something did not sound right to her as she was detecting the lie that was leaving the lips of this youkai.

This has nothing to do with Sesshoumaru mating his sister, but it has everything to do with them trying to kill him, so they can take over the rule from Sesshoumaru and his father.

Then she heard that her mate was about to let them leave the country and she was not about to let that happen. If they left the country when they came back it was going to be worse as they will bring help to destroy them. She snarled as she stated, “Why don’t you try telling the truth about why you attacked us? Why are you hiding under such falsehoods as to say that your sister is the most powerful female in the lands when she doesn’t have any fighting skills at all?”

The Inu turned his attention to the female as he heard her words. His eyes opened wide because she had knowledge of their plans. He tried to divert the attention from him as he stated, “Lord Sesshoumaru, don’t you have control over your bitch? Do you always let her speak out of turn? One would expect that the mate of the mighty Lord Sesshoumaru would have manners.”

That was it, Kagome lost her control as she let her anger go. She was about to show all these fool who they really were and the threat that they present to their lands.

Kagome jumped in the air as she gathered her powers. She was hovering above all in the room as her body was glowing a bright yellow, while she created a circle in front of her. Then she started to show everyone the truth about the Inu’s that were standing there in front of them.

Sesshoumaru’s eyes opened wide when he saw and heard all their plans to take over the lands from him and his father. They saw the conspiracy they concocted to get him to mate the older sister of their clan. She was a pathetically weak female that never fought a battle in her life. They saw all who were conspiring to bring down the ruling lords as the picture finally faded from view.

There were a series of growls that was released as the pathetic Inu’s thought to attack Sesshoumaru.

Kagome’s mating mark came to life before Sesshoumaru could even think of an attack. It purified the youkai that were heading his way as they got rid of the first wave of youkai.

Kagome landed on the ground as she formed a blade made purely from her powers as she went after the leader of this particular clan. She was not about to let them leave only to return in the future with more followers.

She leaped in front of him as she said, “Now where do you think you’re going? I thought that I was just a pathetic weak bitch not worthy of Sesshoumaru. So why are you running from me?”

Hideki did not know what to do. This female was very powerful and a seer. This was something that was totally unexpected. He had to leave to make sure that they planned their next attack even better to prevent this wench from knowing what was going on.

He snarled as he said, “I’m leaving! I don’t have to stay around a worthless bitch like you! You are beneath me in every way, now get out of my way.”

Kagome moved fast as she grabbed the fool by his neck and lifted him up off the floor. Now that she has his attention she said in a deadly voice, “I am not worthless. I have spent all of my life caring for the people of this land. Then you come along and want to destroy everything just so you can be the top dog. But guess what? You are not powerful enough to defeat Sesshoumaru, and as long as I’m by his side I will make sure that filth like you never see the light of day, for I will purify you and your entire clan for being the traitors that you are.

“Did you honestly think that no one would notice what you have been doing?” She threw the youkai across the floor as he landed hard on his back. Kagome continued walking towards him, as her power was growing stronger. Every youkai in the area wanted to leave but her barriers were preventing everyone from leaving.

Kagome continued walking towards the youkai that she was about to kill, “Did you think that we would be so blind, to what you are doing to the people of these lands? Do you know how many I had to heal because of your petty wars? Well let me tell you, there have been hundreds of them and you have left hundreds of children orphaned.”

Kagome reached down and picked up Hideki once more and punched him in the gut as he went flying backwards hitting a wall. She looked around for the others as her hands started to glow. Thin lines of her Reiyouku came out of her fingers and she snatched each one up and threw them in a dog pile by their leader.

Once she had them all she walked a little closer to them as she said in a voice that put the fear of Kami in them, “For your crimes against all those on these lands, and especially the children that have to suffer because of your wants and desires, I sentence you to death, by order of the Shikon Miko, High Priestess of these Lands.”

There was a collective gasp as everyone heard her title. She was the Shikon miko, the most powerful miko in the land and was now mated to Sesshoumaru, heir to the lands.

Kagome’s powers came to a boiling point as she released her powers. She sent a blast of her Reiyouku towards the fools that thought to harm her mate and now family. The blast hit its target as the low life Inu’s were purified from the face of the earth.

Kagome then turned her white eyes towards the others in the room as she went through each of their minds. When she was satisfied that she has removed the threat from the area she lowered the barriers from around the doors as her powers reseeded back.

Sesshoumaru has never seen his mate show this much power before. She was able to pick up their true intent with their attack and when he was about to release them she knew what would happen and refused to let them go. She was a seer and a powerful one. He will have to learn to trust her instincts that were even better than his own.

The room was deathly quiet as he walked over to his mate. He put his tail around her waist as he slowly pulled her into his chest. Wrapping his arms around her small form he gently purrs as she continues to calm down. When he saw that her eyes were closing he picked her up in his arms as he walked towards his father.

When he got to this fathers location he said, “I’m leaving with my mate father. I expect that you and your guards have some clean up to do. Because if this clan is not taken care of, I know that Kagome will go after them, and if she goes after them and get hurts then these lands will suffer my wrath.”

Segumi understood his son all too well. His inner inu would be enough to cause wide spread panic in the city. “Understood Sesshoumaru, it will be dealt with immediately.”

Sesshoumaru turned with his female in his arms as he left. This presentation was over, he wanted to take his mate home and put her to bed. She was tired and needed to rest. Plus he knew her well enough to know that she would be feeling guilty about killing anyone in cold blood. She was a miko and one that tried to help those in the city. They walked outside as he formed his orb of light and took off back towards his home.

---oOo---

This is the end to this chapter. Kagome is proving herself to be a true leader. She cares enough to see through the lies of all and she will do everything in her power to make sure that everyone stays safe. Now the whole city knows who Sesshoumaru is mated to.

I’m sorry for the late posting of this chapter. But sometime life throws us twist and turns. My mother’s cat, who has been her companion for many years and always a source of amusement to me, in my writing, died this week. It has left a large whole in both our lives and we miss him terribly. We are still mourning his passing.

In the next chapter, there is another threat that is after Kagome. She has already dealt with the youkai that wanted to take over the lands from Sesshoumaru and his father. Now the humans are searching for the healer that is healing all of the sick of the city.

They have been trying for years to find them but up to this point they have not found out who it is. That is until now. The city has never had to deal with Segumi or his son. They will finally have dealing with the youkai lord as they go after Kagome for helping those who are hurt.

Join me in the next chapter to see what happens.

Until then.

Ja ne!
