For the Good of Things

thehotty: Here's your apology for screwing up with the last chapter and fooling you all into thinking it was another actually chapter.

Kagome: So here's that new chapter we told you would be up just for you all.

Sesshoumaru: So read and enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome sat in front of the fire place in her room thinking over the kiss from earlier.

Sesshoumaru had had a surprise visit from a Higher Noble about threats of war breaking out on his lands, and took off right away to over look the situation.

She was already missing him, even though he had left just after the children were put to bed, which had been just an hour ago. She had already decided that if Sesshoumaru wanted her as a mate, then she’d gladly take the offer.

What bothered her about it though was she wouldn’t let her hopes get to high. He didn’t like humans. She was a human. A Miko to boot. She was pretty sure he wasn’t going to chose her.

But that kiss…

It was so impulsive and passionate. He probably did it for a reason though. He wasn’t the type to just go and kiss anyone like that.

She stood up, deciding that talking to Sango would help sort her thoughts. Maybe she could reassure her that Sesshoumaru did want her on some level.

He almost had to because of the dreams.

She remembered waking up on several occasions to find him moaning her name in his sleep. It was erotic in a way and left her kind of wanting. She’d eventually fall back asleep to wake up alone in bed.

They never did anything together like that. Not after the wedding night.

Neither of them thought it was a good idea. They weren’t sure of their feelings toward one another and didn’t want to be doing something like that if things decided to get sticky.

She reached Sango’s door and was about to knock when she heard a load moan.

“Oh… Miroku…”

She blushed and quickly left. At least she knew how it ended last night… not to mention tonight as well.

Sighing, she took off to the gardens to think by herself, hoping the fresh air would make things clearer to her.


Sesshoumaru made it back home earlier then expected. He growled lowly to himself.

The stupid Noble couldn’t even handle his daughter the right way.

The threat was put up because of her. She had denied a marriage contract in hopes of becoming his mate, angering the other Noble.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the original Noble was furious with his daughter for doing what she did, he would have killed the two and been done with it. He had growled at the onna and told her that if she did not marry the man, then he would take her life to settle the conflict. She readily agreed to the proposal and he quickly took off.

He walked up the stairs, making his way to the bedroom to see his Kagome. He wanted to tell her his decision.

Upon entering, he found that she was not present. A slight frown marred his face and he turned, catching the scent of her. He began following it, walking past the exterminator’s room, smelling the scent of sex and hearing the panting on the other side.

‘She must have been embarrassed and fled before they knew she was out here,’ he thought to himself.

He continued on, following her scent out of the castle and into the garden. He spotted her sitting under a tree watching the night stars. He smiled to himself inwardly and walked up to her. He sat next to her and pulled her against him.

They sat that way in silence for a little while just watching the stars above.

“I would like to become your mate, if you want me,” she whispered to him.

“Are you sure of this?” he asked, not wanting her to regret anything in the morning.

“Hai. I’ve been thinking about it since after the wedding and realized that that is what I wanted. What do you want?” she asked him.

He bent down and captured her lips in his. His tongue swept over her lips, begging for entrance, which she quickly accepted. Their kiss turned wild and heated. He pulled back briefly to gaze into her eyes.

“I want you and nobody else,” he answered before kissing her again.

She moaned at this and he felt himself stiffen. Picking her up, he dashed up to their room, where he placed a barrier around it, making sure nobody could disturb them. As soon as he put her on her feet, she let her hands roam his body.

His hands reached her oobi and let it fall as he untied it. Her yakama that she had been wearing fell open, revealing the valley of her breasts. His hands moved to it and under the material to feel her mounds. They filled his hand perfectly as he pinched and rolled the nipple with his claws.

He heard Kagome moan and she arched into him, pressing her stomach against his hard staff. Suddenly his clothes were to much and he wished that Kagome would get them off him soon.

Almost as if she had read his thoughts, she untied his oobi and opened his shirt. Her hands roamed his chest. She found his nipples and pulled away from his kiss to let her mouth travel down his neck, nipping and licking the whole way to his hard nipple. She swirled her tongue around it and he moaned.

Her eyes drifted up to his as she covered it with her beautiful lips. She bit it, causing his head to fall back in pleasure. She was such a minx.

She smiled at this and moved to the other one, where she began to give it the same treatment, causing a hiss of pleasure to escape his lips. Her hands roamed over his tight, hard stomach and found their way to the hem of his pants.

They slipped in and found his hard cock. She wrapped her hand around it and began to pump him slowly. He growled deeply at her and thrust his hips into her hand, trying to get her to go faster and be more aggressive.

She obeyed and he moaned louder. His hands found their way to her hair, which he pulled, causing her to lose contact with his chest and stare up at him. He took her lips in a crushing kiss, loving the spike in her arousal at this.

While holding her lips, he shoved the yakama off her body and pushed his pants down and off of himself. He pulled her tighter to himself and rocked into her stomach, making her feel how badly he needed her.

She moaned and pulled away from him. She went to her knees and grabbed his cock in her hands, staring at him as she pumped it a few times.

“Do you want it in my mouth?” she asked in a teasing tone.

“Hai,” he answered her.

“Beg me,” she demanded of him, becoming more aggressive in her stokes.

He moaned and shook his head.

“Beg me, or I won’t do it,” she demanded him again.

“Woman, you will do it,” he growled at her.

“Iie, I won’t. Not if you don’t beg me,” she replied again, squeezing him harder.

His hand went to the back of her head to guide her to him, but she held still, waiting for his words. He growled in frustration.

“Please,” he bit out.

She smiled and took his head into her mouth slowly, letting him relish it. Her tongue darted across it, making him moan louder then before. At this, she moved faster and began to bob her head, her hand working what her mouth could not fit.

He was in heave. Her mouth was so tight and hot. She seemed to know right were to run her tongue and suck the hardest. He almost couldn’t take it.

Pulling away from her, he pulled her to her feet and took her lips into another kiss. He lead her to the bed and gently pushed her on it. His mouth swept down her neck, down to her breasts, teasing the nipples there momentarily. His kisses burned a path down her stomach, to the ridge of her folds. He held on to her hip with one of his hands as the other moved to part her legs.

The intoxicating smell of her excitement made him throb harder then he ever thought he could be. He had to taste her and he had to do it now.

His tongue swept out and flicked over her sensitive nub causing her to jerk and arch into his mouth. She tasted better then any sweet in the world. He smiled evilly at her and set a pace with his tongue and fingers that had her orgasm really hard twice within a few minutes.

She began to pant after the second one and pulled away from him. She didn’t think she’d be able to last long if he kept that up.

He crawled up her body and smirked at her lazy smile. “It’s not over yet, darling.”

He quickly pushed into her, causing her to yell his name in pure bliss. Oh how he loved to hear that. He began at a fast pace, enjoying the friction of her hot, wet, tight walls made against his throbbing, engorged dick.

Her head tossed back in forth and moans filled her as she arched into him, trying to take more of him in. He moaned at the sight she made and moved faster and harder.

She yelled his name out more and fought to keep up with is pace.

Orgasms hit her hard, the onslaught doubling her pleasure. She loved the way his balls would hit her ass when he pushed into her. She ran her blunt nails down his back, causing angry red welts to appear and quickly disappear.

He pulled out of her and flipped her on to her knees and entered her again. His demon escaped at the sight of her ass bouncing at each thrust. His speed increased, taking her at his demonic pace.

She screamed her pleasure out as he growled. Their orgasms hit hard, and he bent over her, biting her in the crook of her shoulder and neck.

“Mine,” he growled around the flesh, causing her to shiver in pleasure.

“Yours,” she replied.

He pulled out of her and turned her to face him. He used his claw to slice through his skin in his crook and brought her lips to it before it healed up.

She drank his blood without being told to. When it healed, he released her and they curled up to each other on the bed.

“I love you,” she whispered as she drifted off to sleep.

“I love you too,” he replied, following her lead.


Morning light shown through the window, waking up Kagome. She rolled over to meet her new mate, who was still sleeping. She giggled at him and kissed him on the lips, effectively waking him up.

“Good morning, sleepy head,” she giggled to him.

He smiled and pulled her close. “Good morning sexy. What are you doing up so early?” he asked her.

She blushed and buried her head into his chest. “The sun woke me up,” she mumbled.

“Indeed. We should get up though. I believe you promised to help me in the study today.”

She moaned in disappointment and pouted. “You’re no fun, you know that.”

“Of course I am. I think last night was fun.”

Her checks flared a deep red and he smirked at her. “And from the sounds of it, you thought so too,” he added and watched the shade deepen even more. “Now lets get out of this bed before we have a repeat.”

She felt herself become wet at the thought and he moaned.

“We can’t do this right now. There’s to much to do today,” he pulled away from her, trying to think of Jaken naked to reduce his hard-on and got dressed quickly.

She followed suit and soon the kids ran into the room. Shippo stopped and wrinkled his nose up.

“It smells like sweet and…” he trailed off as his eyes became wide. “YAY!” he yelled while jumping into Kagome’s arms.

Kagome caught him, her cheeks flushing. “Good morning Shippo.”

Rin clamped on to Sesshoumaru’s leg and smiled up at him. “Good morning daddy.”

“Good morning Rin,” he replied.

“What are we doing today?” Shippo asked.

“You and Rin will be with your teacher today. I promised your dad that I would help him in the study today. But I will see you two at lunch and dinner and tuck you guys in tonight,” Kagome answered.

“Rin and Shippo get to learn!” Rin shouted and danced around the two adults.

“I don’t want to learn! Demons don’t need to know how to write and read. We fight for a living!” Shippo cried out.

“I am a Lord, and a demon. I have to read and write to keep the Lands safe. Demons still need to learn to do these things for this purpose,” Sesshoumaru retorted.

Shippo pouted and Kagome sighed. “You will go to class young man, or else you won’t go outside for two days. Do you hear me?”

Shippo nodded dejectedly. He climbed out of Kagome’s arms. “Come on Rin. We might as well go.”

“Rin is coming!”

They left the two in the room and headed towards the library for their classes.

Sesshoumaru grabbed Kagome’s waist and pulled her tight to him.

“I think we should get out of here before I must ravish you. The smell of last night’s activities still lingers in the air,” he whispered in her ear, causing her to shiver.

“Mmm. Let’s go then.” She slipped out of his hold and pulled on his arm until he followed her out the door and down the halls.


Sesshoumaru sighed after reading over a Court invitation. It was a meeting about unmated and heirless Lords.

He still needed to talk to Kagome about the mating ceremony they would have to have, not to mention the changes she would be starting to go through soon, and what being a mate would mean.

Kagome looked up from the stack of papers on the other side of the desk. “I know, it’s boring, but please, don’t sigh so much. It’s adding to the distraction I already have.”

“And what, pray tell, is the main distraction?” he asked her.

“You, of course. Sitting there, all godly and irresistible. I’m surprised I’ve held out this long.” She smiled at him as he smirked.

“Angels are harder to keep out of my mind. Especially ones I’d rather have under me.”

She blushed at the comment and looked back down at the papers in her hands.

“Why did you sigh this time?” she asked, trying to keep the thought of what they could be doing out of her mind.

“Court. It seems it’s being called about heirless and unmated Lords. I wonder if it had something to do with myself. Nobody yet knows of our mating, which brings me to my next thought of the mating ceremony we will have to hold.”

“Another ceremony? You’re just full of them, aren’t you?” she asked, rising an eyebrow at him.

“I wouldn’t want it any other way,” he remarked, a sly grin on his face.

“We won’t have to do anything ‘naughty’ in front of anyone, will we?” she asked, blushing slightly.

“Iie. I would not allow it. I will be the only one to see you naked. As you me. We will just have to mark each other publicly is all,” he answered.

“Ah, I see. So, when shall we have this ceremony?” she asked.

“As soon as your changes have been completed,” he answered.

“Changes. You never mentioned this,” she glared at him.

“You may take on some demonic qualities. Most of the time it is retractable fangs for humans. Others include claws, longer hair, eye color changing, skin paling, symbols and markings appearing, and height differences. It varies from mate to mate. It doesn’t hurt, and you’ll barely even notice its happening.

“You’ve already gained a good two inches of hair and your skin has paled a little. There is a faint moon and star on your brow, though I doubt it will be too much darker. Normally Miko’s don’t mate demons, but the few that have had gained their mates’ symbol with a star. They are faint, but there not the less. It’s to show other demons what they are dealing with. Do not worry about it though. Worrying only makes it hurt and more noticeable,” he added.

“Oh,” she replied, stunned at his forwardness. “I didn’t know that I would change. Kikyou mated Inu Yasha and hasn’t changed, to my knowledge. And there isn’t anything noticeable on Izayoi.”

“Kikyou mated a hanyou. They normally don’t do much besides get a faint star on their forehead. Kikyou has hers. Izayoi has been mated to my father for 250 years. You wouldn’t be able to tell the changes on her,” he explained.

Kagome sputtered. “Two-HUNDRED fifty years? How the hell is that possible?!?”

Sesshoumaru’s eyes opened wide in surprise. She had never used foul language to his knowledge. Quickly gathering himself up, he answered her question. “Another effect of mating. You gain the life span of your mate.”

“So if you die in a hundred years, then I die in a hundred years?” she asked.

“If I die before you, give or take a few, but hai,” he answered.

“Alright then. Now about this ceremony and the changing. When do you think I will be done changing?” she asked.

“In about a week, but Court is in two, so in three weeks. That should be plenty of time to plan it,” he offered.

“More time then I’ve ever had to plan anything. I might have to take it slow and make sure everything’s perfect.”

He smiled at her and put the Court summoning down.

“You know darling, I think we’ve deserved a little break from all this work we’ve done. Lunch isn’t for another hour, so what do you think we should do?”

Kagome felt the familiar coil in her belly and rubbed her legs together. The scent of her arousal hit his nose and he growled his pleasure.

Kagome stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her now clawed fingers traced the moon and star on her forehead that was more noticeable then Sesshoumaru had said it was going to be. The moon was as dark as his and the star a bright pink. Her eyes didn’t change, which she was glad of.

She liked her violet eyes. They were rare as it was. Her skin was only a shade or two lighter then what it was before. Her hair hung down to just bellow her bottom now. It was silkier to then it was before and shown brighter. It was still as soft, but seemed much stronger.

She had grown the fangs he had mentioned, but they didn’t retract. Her claws were long and she was always afraid she was going to hurt Rin or Shippo when she tickled them. She hadn’t grown any taller, which pleased Sesshoumaru.

He had stated that he like her as tall as she was and didn’t want her to grow any higher.

“What are you doing?” he asked from across the room.

“Just looking to see what else changed today. I think I’m done changing. I don’t notice anything. Do you?” she asked, turning around.

“Iie. Stop looking in the mirror. I’d rather you be over here packing your things. We are leaving soon to head to fathers castle,” Sesshoumaru sighed.

“I’m coming.”

She bounced over to the wardrobe and began to pack her trunk. “Dad will be happy with us. I think he set everything up in hopes that we would mate.”

“He most likely did. Father does many things that displeases me, but he got it right this time around.”

“Stop talking like that or else we won’t get anywhere.”

Sesshoumaru chuckled and they quickly finished packing their things. Just as they closed the doors, Shippo and Rin burst through them.

“We’re done packing! Let’s go!” Shippo yelled.

“Rin wants to see Grandpa Kibito! He is funny!” She smiled up at them and Kagome laughed.

“Well, what are we waiting for? Yura! Have someone fetch the packages and gather Sango and Miroku together. We’re leaving shortly!”

Yura popped her head into the room. “Right away, my Lady.”

She disappeared and Kagome picked up Shippo as Sesshoumaru scooped Rin into his arms.

“Let’s head out of hear. I bet I can name five people that are dying to see us,” Kagome said as they headed out the door.

They meet up with Sango, Miroku and Yura at the Entrance hall.

“Everything is packed and ready to go, my Lady,” Yura reported.

“Good, because we’re getting out of here. Come on,” Shippo stated, jumping out of Kagome’s arms and running out the door to carriages.

They all climbed in to their respective ones and watched the castle disappear

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naraku: TH's gone for the night, so I'm hosting this shing-dig for her.

Kagome: Where the hell did you put her?!?

Naraku: KAKAKAKAKAKAKA!!! You'll never find her!

Inu Yasha: She's in the closet downstairs.

Sesshoumaru: Indeed. I can hear her screaming about filthy clothing.

Miroku: Who wants to go get her?

Sango: How long has she been down there?

Inu Yasha: Since the chapter started. Right after Sesshoumaru told everyone to enjoy, he tied her up and threw her down there.

Kagome: I don't think that's long enough.

Kikyou: No, I don't either.

Inu Yasha: When did you get here?

Kikyou: Right after TH was locked up down there. Naraku let me in.

Inu Yasha: Keep her down there if it means Kikyou can stay up here!

*thehotty pushes basement door open and gasps for breath*

thehotty: You're going to die Naraku!

Inu Yasha: O.o How the hell did you get out of there?!?!

thehotty: All the door are those cheap ass doors that a few good shoulder rams will make them splinter and explode. I did it just incase any of you decided to lock me into the rooms.

Kikyou: I'll make sure it's a solid wood door next time.

thehotty: KIKYOU! Where have you been?!?! I've been looking for you!

Kikyou: On a cruise. It took me around the world.

thehotty: We'll sit down for tea after I'm done killing Naraku. He'll be going to the bears soon.

*thehotty chases after a frightened Naraku who's screaming for help*

Kikyou: Next time on For the Good of Things: Eyes bulge and people aren't happy about things that are happening around them!
