Close Encounters Of The Fluffy Kind

Kikyo waited for her love, but was shocked when it was the monk who approached. His expression told her that unlike her reincarnation, Inu Yasha was not going to leave this new woman for her. The thought that he could so easily turn away from her hurt her.

“Lady Kikyo. I am sorry to inform you that Inu Yasha will not be joining you this evening. However, I have a proposition for you.” Miroku said, his violet eyes soft. When Kikyo nodded, he said, “Would you care to accompany me to dinner? Perhaps if Inu Yasha will not come to you and talk, going to him may force him to talk.”

Kikyo thought about it for a few moments and then nodded. She stood up and waved her hand, signaling her stealers to disappear. She followed the monk and listened to his idea on how to get their loved ones to return to their side. Finally, she stopped and asked, “What if they do not come back to us? What then, monk?”

Miroku stopped. He had not thought about that possibility. He was sure that once Sango saw him with Kikyo, she would get jealous and come running back to his arms. The plan was to make both Inu Yasha and Sango see that they were actually just using each other for comfort and that once they got a look at their former loves communicating and getting close, that would drive them into a jealous rage, one that would make them come running back to their love’s arms.

“We can only hope for the best, Lady Kikyo. Now, you know what to do, so are you ready, my dear?” He asked, straightening his robes.

Kikyo cringed at the sentiment, but then nodded. She followed him to the palace and heard people laughing. It was clearly dinner time.

Miroku gave her a warm smile and then motioned for her to follow him. Together, they entered the dining hall and suddenly, the room got very quiet.

Miroku smiled at Kagome and said, “Lady Kikyo and I have been doing some talking and I asked her to come and join us. I am enjoying her company so much that I simply wish to hear more of her stories.”

Kagome glanced over at Sesshomaru, who shrugged. She put on a smile and then nodded. Miroku sighed a breath of relief and held out a chair for Kikyo to sit in. He could see Inu Yasha glaring at him, but Sango kept whispering to him and he finally tore his gaze away.

Shippo and Rin stared at the dead miko. She did not eat nor did she drink. Shippo leaned over and whispered, “Kikyo is not alive. She doesn’t eat, drink, or do anything else except for steal souls.”

Rin’s eyes grew wide and she paled. She looked over at her Sesshomaru-Sama and sighed. If anyone could protect her, he could. Rin looked over at the dead miko and watched as she stared at Inu Yasha.

Sango felt her body grow hot as Kikyo’s gaze settled on Inu Yasha. It was clear that the dead miko was up to something. She was simply too obvious. Glancing over at the hanyou, Sango wondered what was going on in his head.

Inu Yasha could not believe Miroku’s behavior. Could he not understand that Sango had done as he asked and moved on? She was now with him and happy, but did that matter to the monk? Oh, no.

Sesshomaru regarded the two couples suspiciously. He just knew that there would be trouble that night, and he would probably be stopped from marking Kagome. And if that happened, he would hate to be the offender who interrupted them. He wanted to mark her and be done with the entire situation.

Miroku could see that Inu Yasha was upset. Well, too bad. He never should have moved in on his territory. Sango was his woman and she needed him. After all, the hanyou was simply to pig-headed to commit to her, and with his new found look on relationships, Miroku knew that he could be the better man for her.

Ayame watched the entire situation with worried eyes. Something was up and she knew that Kagome would probably have her hands full. It would be wise for her to keep a close eye on the situation.

Kagome sighed and then smiled brightly. “So, Kikyo. What brings you to the palace?” She asked, hoping that her voice did not show her nervousness.

Kikyo continued to stare at Inu Yasha and replied, “I am here to ensure that my interests are protected. Nothing more.”

Kagome shook her head. She looked over at Inu Yasha and found that Sango, too, was staring at the hanyou, who was returning the stare that the dead miko was throwing to him.

Finally, Inu Yasha could take no more. The brash and rude part of his psyche would not allow him to keep silent.

“Why in the fuck did you bring her here, asshole? Isn’t it bad enough that I have to stare at Kouga’s hideous face, but now I have to deal with this horse shit?” He bellowed, forgetting that there were children in the room.

Kagome leapt up. She narrowed her eyes at the hanyou and said, “Will you please watch the potty mouth? There are kids in here, you idiot.”

Sesshomaru nodded in agreement. “Yes. I do not wish for Rin or Shippo to learn such vulgar words.” He said, his tone superior.

Inu Yasha glared at his brother. “Well, keep acting the way you and your bitch have been acting lately and instead of hearing the word fuck, they will know the meaning as well. After all, we all know what went on in your study yesterday. Hell, from what I hear, Kagome’s ass was plastered all over the window.” He snapped.

Kagome’s face turned pale and she glared at Inu Yasha. She got up from her chair and began to walk around the table. Everyone was deathly quiet, and when she got to where she could reach Inu Yasha, the hanyou gulped and stepped forward, intent on saying something, anything to the irate woman to appease her temper.

“Kagome, I…” The hanyou began, but was cut off when Kagome’s eyes narrowed and her mouth opened.

“SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, and just to make sure you don’t ever piss me off again, SIT!!!!” Kagome screamed, her face red with rage and her fists clenched.

Inu Yasha bounced up and down on the hard floor. For a moment, Kagome’s anger was forgotten as she suddenly realized that when his head bounced up and down, he reminded her of one of those large beach balls that her mother would buy for her and her brother to go to the shore with. However, her amusement was quickly thrown away as a weak groan was heard. She glared down at the hanyou, and wanted to kick him, but Sango quickly stood up and said, “Kagome, calm down. He won’t make anymore comments like that again, I promise.”

Kagome took in a deep breath. What in the hell had come over her? This rage was quite like the rage she felt when dealing with that disgusting pig, Kumiko. She shook her head and felt a pair of hands upon her shoulders, relaxing her immediately.

“I do believe we have found another effect of the curse. Kagome seems to be a bit more volatile than usual, especially with those who she feels are disrespecting her. I would suggest, Inu Yasha, that you do nothing to offend her ever again. It would seem that she takes great delight in watching you face-plant into the ground.” Sesshomaru said, his golden eyes twinkling in amusement.

He grasped Kagome’s arm and gently tugged on it, silently telling her that it was time to return to her seat. Kagome continued to glare at the hanyou, but when she was seated, Sango’s back blocked her view, and she let out a soft sigh. The anger was quickly fading and she gave everyone at the table a weak smile.

“I guess I kind of overdid it, huh?” She asked, her voice small. She looked around to see Ayame’s wide grin.

“I would not say that, Kagome. However, I don’t think that anyone is going to be bringing up your backside pressed up against that window ever again. No sir, you sure won’t hear me talk about it.” Ayame smirked.

Kagome’s mouth fell open and she blushed. She shook her head and stood up. Head held high, she strolled out of the dining room and left the others to their own devices. Sesshomaru coughed and then stood up as well. He followed his mate to be and knew that he could probably find her in the study, the scene of the crime.

Ayame burst out into giggles and glanced at her mate. “I wonder if they were aware that the window in Sesshomaru’s study faces the training field and that his entire army saw their coupling.” She said, her green eyes sparkling with amusement.

Kouga chuckled. “I don’t know, but from the look on Kagome’s face, I doubt that she will allow him to take such liberties with her in there.” He smirked.

Kikyo kept silent throughout the entire display. She envied Kagome for having the curse, which could also be called a blessing. Had she lived long enough to have the curse upon her, she and Inu Yasha would not be where they were at this point in time.

Sango helped Inu Yasha to his seat. He whined pitifully as Sango massaged his sore neck and he gave a small smile. “Well, at least I know what not to say to her to get some kind of reaction.” He said, his golden eyes cast downward.

“Yes, Inu Yasha. You seem to have a way with words lately. Tell me, are you going to honor Lady Kikyo’s request and speak with her? After all, she did come all of this way to speak with you and wants to understand why you have suddenly abandoned her.” Miroku said, his violet eyes narrowing.

Kikyo nodded and glared at the slayer. It was clear to her that the girl had taken her reincarnation’s place in the hanyou’s heart and that was something that she simply could not allow.

“Yes, Inu Yasha. Are you going to speak to me and explain to me why you refuse to honor your vow to me?” She asked, her voice laced with hurt.

Inu Yasha sat up straight. He glared at Miroku, who looked the very picture of innocence. Then, he turned his eyes to his former love. With her hair down and flowing over her shoulders, she looked very innocent and lost. He could see the confusion on her face. He sighed and nodded. “Yeah. Kikyo, would you please walk with me? We need to talk.” He said, his hand extended towards her.

Kikyo nodded and took his hand. Inu Yasha led Kikyo out of the dining room, but before she walked out the door, Kikyo looked over her shoulder and smirked at Sango.

The slayer was about to jump up and go after the dead miko, but was stopped by Miroku. “Lady Sango, while Inu Yasha and Lady Kikyo have their talk, perhaps we can speak as well.” He said, offering her his most charming smile.

Sango sighed and nodded. She needed to set a certain monk straight and scold him for brining that bitch to the palace. She could tell from the grin upon his face that he was hoping for something else, but she was not ready to walk away from the possibility of something with Inu Yasha. Not after the way he made her feel. No. Her time with Miroku was over. Done.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Kagome’s cheeks were red and she could feel her entire body grow numb. There, right before her eyes lay the training grounds, and those grounds faced the window of Sesshomaru’s study. No wonder the guards had been so friendly lately. She hung her head and sighed. This was not the way her mother had taught her to be.

Sesshomaru stepped up and wrapped his arms around his chosen. He could feel her embarrassment and he wanted nothing more that to take it all away from her, but what was done was done and over with and they needed to move on. However, he would call his soldiers together in the morning and order them to never speak of what they saw ever again around Kagome, or face the penalty of death.

“Kagome. You have nothing to be ashamed over. You showed your lord your appreciation and gave him pleasure. That is something to be proud of, not something to be upset about.” He said, his tone low and silky.

Kagome slowly turned around. She stared at the taiyoukai for a moment and then asked, “You want me to be proud of the fact that you had my ass pressed up against the glass of your window for all to see and revel in the knowledge that now your soldiers know that you are getting laid by me on a constant basis?”

Sesshomaru stared at her. Well, yes. He was lord. Of course he should be getting laid left and right, but there had been no females that he considered to be worthy until he had found her, so she should be grateful for his attentions and be thankful that he was not ashamed to display his affections in front of others.

Kagome’s stare turned into a glare. It was like she knew what he was thinking, that egotistical bastard. Huffing, she pointed at the glass and asked, “Will you at least have someone come in and clean the window? I can still see my ass print.”

Sesshomaru lifted his brow and shook his head. “No. It is a reminder of my conquest. Now, let us talk about our impending mating.” He said, moving to sit down in his chair.

Kagome could not believe her ears. She shook her head and then stalked over until she was directly in front of him. She slammed her hands down on the desk and yelled, “Listen here, you jerk. You will either start respecting me, or you and your hand can become familiar with each other. I will not be made a fool of. Not by Inu Yasha, not by Miroku, and certainly not by you.”

Kagome shot him a look of pure anger before turning on her heel and stomping out of his study, leaving the taiyoukai to reach up to his delicate ears and whisper, “Ouch.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Kikyo walked beside the hanyou and smiled to herself. The monk had played into her hands perfectly and came running back to her when the hanyou denied her request for a meeting. His broken heart would be the perfect weapon. She knew that since Kagome was no longer up for grabs, Inu Yasha would probably turn to the other female, and be damned if he didn’t. Sure, she was no longer in love with him, but that did not give that other female any right to go slutting around with her hanyou.

When they were a good ways from the palace, Inu Yasha stopped and slowly turned to Kikyo. He cleared his throat and said, “Kikyo, we need to talk. I will no longer be accompanying you to hell. If you want company, take Naraku. After all, he is the one who really killed you.”

Kikyo narrowed her eyes. “You claimed that you loved me. When we made love, you promised that you would never leave my side. Why would you turn to another woman when I need you? How could you do this to me?” She asked, her face soft.

Sucking in a deep breath, Inu Yasha found the courage to say to the dead miko what needed to be said, “I made a mistake and for that I am sorry. It never should have gotten this far.”

Kikyo gave him a smile. “You’re right. It never should have gotten this far. I will forgive you, Inu Yasha. All you need to do is tell the slayer that you cannot be with her.” She cooed, her face brightening.

Inu Yasha shook his head. “I am afraid that you have misunderstood me, Kikyo. I am sorry that you and I ever slept together. Because of lust, we got mixed up in something that never should have happened. I am falling in love with Sango, and I will not leave her. She doesn’t deserve to be left alone, not after all that she has been through.” He explained.

Kikyo’s face hardened. She cocked her head to the side. “So, Sango warrants your attention but my reincarnation and I do not. Tell me, when did you come to this conclusion? Let me tell you something, Inu Yasha. I died because you wanted that damn jewel. You dare to leave me to a fate of loneliness? How dare you?” She screamed.

Inu Yasha winced and then replied, “I am sorry, but I want to be with the one I love, and Kikyo, I realize that I do not love you.”

Inu Yasha watched as Kikyo’s eyes narrowed, and then shook his head. It was clear to him that Kikyo simply did not see his point of view. He sighed and turned to walk back to the palace.

“Kikyo, I understand that you are upset, and do not understand why I can’t leave Sango the way I did to Kagome, but please try. Please try to see things from my perspective. I finally have a chance at happiness, and I can’t give it up. You need to let go of the past and try to find your own happiness, but it will not be with me.” He said as he walked away from the dead miko.

Kikyo stood frozen in place for a moment, and then allowed a smirk to cross her features. Fine. If that was how he wanted things, she could play too. Except, when she played, people got hurt.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Miroku stared up at the night sky and grinned. This setting was perfect. He glanced down at Sango and gently grasped her hand.

“You know, I have done a lot of thinking and I have come to the conclusion that I have been an ass, Sango. I never meant to disrespect you, nor did I ever want to make you uncomfortable in my presence.” He said, giving her a bright smile.

Sango slowly nodded. This was freaking her out. For so long she had to sit back and watch Kagome get all of the attention from the males, and now she had the attention, and she now could understand why Kagome was so uncomfortable with it.

With Kouga, he was simply very charming, but possessive. His words of love were quickly followed by insults toward the hanyou, thus ruining the moment. With Inu Yasha, he would constantly find something to insult her with and then would do his best to make up for his harsh words whenever he felt his position in her heart was threatened. Kagome always seemed to shy away from both males, and Sango had never really understood why…until now.

Inu Yasha was charming. He had not insulted her at all and was very attentive. He did his best to make her feel better about herself and would be there to lend a sympathetic ear to her problems. Miroku, on the other hand, was more interested in how many times his hand could caress her backside and how many women he could ask to bear his child in a single day.

When Kagome got together with Sesshomaru, her attention was on him and had not strayed, and now for her, it was the same with Inu Yasha. She did not want Miroku to touch her anymore. She closed her eyes and could see the golden-eyed hanyou smiling at her and whispering his devotion to her. However, now she was standing with the violet-eyed monk and she was very uncomfortable.

Miroku sensed that Sango’s mind was elsewhere. He sighed and gently tugged on her hand.

“Lady Sango, I have a request I would like to make of you. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” He asked.

Sango’s eyes went wide with shock. This was something she had always wanted to hear, but now, she wanted to hear those words from Inu Yasha. She wanted to feel his fangs imbed themselves into her neck. She took in a deep breath and slowly pulled her hand away. It was time to set Miroku straight.

“Miroku, I am sorry, but the answer is no. I can’t.” She said, her dark eyes pleading with him to understand.

Miroku’s smile slowly disappeared. “I see. It is because of Inu Yasha, isn’t it? Sango, he is a hanyou, and your lives would be very difficult. Any child that you bring into the world will face the same fate and have a very difficult time. With me, at least the child will be accepted.” He explained.

Sango listened to every single word, but was not swayed. She took in a deep breath and then turned away from the monk.

“I love him, Miroku. I know that it is very sudden, but I feel things with him that I should have felt with you. Please know that I still want to be your friend, but we can’t be together, not when he owns my heart.” She said, her tears streaming down her pale cheeks.

Miroku stared at Sango’s back for an instant and then swallowed the lump in his throat. He stepped forward and placed his hands on her shoulders. What he was about to do was going to probably kill him, but seeing her this upset was simply not worth it. He would prove to her that he loved her so much that he was willing to step away and let her be happy with the one she loved.

“Shhhh, Sango please don’t cry. I understand, really I do. If you love him, then you should not be made to feel badly for what your heart is telling you is right for you. If Inu Yasha is the one you wish to be with you, then I will not continue my pursuit.” He said, softly.

Sango gasped at the sincerity of his voice. She whirled around and looked up at him. “Really? You won’t interfere?” She asked, her voice unsteady.

When he nodded, she squealed in happiness and threw her arms around his neck, hugging him until he began to gasp for breath. He looked up and saw a very dejected looking hanyou come into view. He pulled Sango off of him and motioned over at Inu Yasha, who was now looking over at them.

“Go on. Go to him.” Miroku whispered. As Sango grinned and ran towards the hanyou, Miroku felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. He watched as the couple embraced and share a very tender kiss. Turning, he walked slowly into the palace and headed towards the stairs.

As he walked, Miroku on accidentally bumped into a maid. She blushed and flashed him a shy smile. He smiled back at her and watched as she hurried off. His hand twitched and he sighed. He would probably need a few days to mourn for his lost love, but then it would be time to get up, dust himself off, and continue with what he did best. After all, you just can’t keep a good monk down.

Walking towards his room, he passed Kouga and Ayame’s chambers and heard the two wolves growling and whining. He stopped for a moment and heard the sound of skin hitting skin. A howl was heard and caused Miroku to jump back in surprise. Shaking his head, he quickly moved on to his own room and closed the door. He could just bet that Ayame was probably sore after the smack that was delivered.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Ayame whined in pain. She was so sore that she nearly could not stand it. Kouga was lying on his side, a large grin plaster on his face as he rubbed his pinked bottom.

“Oh, come on. You know that I love it when your sweet little hand spanks me. Who would have thought that spanking could be such a turn on? Now I know why you like it when I do it to you. Are you ready for round two, my sweet princess?” Kouga asked, his lips curling into a leer, showing off his sharp fangs to his mate.

Ayame glared at her mate before giving her poor hand another shake. She had to use all of her strength to spank him, and would growl each time he whined that it was not hard enough. And she thought the monk was a hentai. He was nothing compared to Kouga. Her mate had a naughty streak in him that would make the monk blush. She growled at him and then sighed.

“Aren’t you tired yet?” She asked, her voice hopeful. When her mate shook his head and plastered a shit-eating grin on his face, Ayame could tell that she was in for a wild night.

As his mate was deep in her thoughts, Kouga reared up onto the balls of his feet and readied himself to pounce on the delicious female before him. After all, this was practice for when she went into heat. Those would be some fun times.
When his mate looked at him, Kouga gave her a large smile and then leapt onto his woman, earning a yelp from the redheaded female beneath him. Ayame had to wonder if Kagome was having the same problems as she was.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Kagome paced the floor of the bedchamber that she and Sesshomaru were sharing. How dare that selfish prick think that her humiliation was some sort of honor to his own sexual prowess.

She gave off a loud sigh and then snapped her attention to the door when it opened. Sesshomaru stepped through and looked over at Kagome. He could see that any idea for romance that he had was probably not going to come to pass.

Kagome watched with narrowed eyes as he began to undress. There were no spoken words between them, but Kagome knew that he was probably hoping for at the very least a quickie. Well, let him hope. Until he started to respect her, she would not bend.

Sesshomaru glanced over at Kagome and saw the stubborn look upon her face. A very wicked thought came to his mind and he quickly finished undressing. He climbed up on the bed and did not bother to cover himself. If she wanted to be stubborn, then he could be cruel.

He allowed his hand to cup himself, rolling his sac as a moan escaped from his lips. He moved his other hand to his shaft and began to stroke himself in an unhurried fashion. His sensitive hearing picked up on Kagome’s soft gasp and he inwardly smirked to himself. It would not be long until he tempted her into wanting to touch him. Perhaps his chance to mark her on this night was not lost.

Kagome watched with eager eyes as her lover’s shaft grew in his hand. She could imagine all of the things that she would love to be doing to him at this moment, but damn it, she had a mission. She must see it through to the end. However, Sesshomaru had different plans for her.

He nearly smirked as the scent of her arousal began to fill the room. It invaded his senses and nearly made him drunk with desire. He felt his cock twitch in his hand as if telling him that it was eagerly awaiting for the velvety warmth that his Kagome provided. He stroked himself harder and finally opened his eyes.

“Come here, Kagome. Come to your mate.” He commanded, his voice low and sultry. He could see that Kagome was warring with herself, trying to deny what she felt. He chuckled at the expressions that crossed her face until she finally began to move towards him.

He removed his hand from his balls and held it out to her, inviting her to join his little party. When she took his hand, he removed his hand from his shaft and quickly got rid of her garments. When she was totally nude before him, he growled in appreciation and brought her onto the bed.

Kagome was mentally cursing herself. Where was the feistiness that she had held in the dining room? Why is it that she could be so bold as to get up into a demoness’s face and call her all sorts of names but she could not resist this particular male? She sighed as she was placed on her back and felt his lips upon the skin of her neck.

“Mmmmm, Kagome. You are simply divine. I cannot wait to sink my fangs into your pretty little neck and make you mine for all eternity.” He murmured. His hands gently caressed the silky skin of her thighs and he growled in approval as she spread her thighs wide for him.

Kagome felt her mind begin to cloud over as she opened her body to Sesshomaru. His words caused liquid fire to seep from her nether lips in anticipation of what he was going to do to her body. She moaned as his body began to rock against hers. His stiff cock sliding teasingly against her clit, making the woman underneath him shiver.

When they finally joined, both groaned and stilled for a moment to savor the feeling of completion. Finally, Sesshomaru’s body began to work over Kagome’s and soon both were spiraling out of control.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Inu Yasha kissed Sango with such passion that he thought he would hurt her in his attempt to show her how he felt. He allowed his tongue to roll over her and seduced her to join his in play. When they finally parted, he held her face in the palms of his hands and said, “I love you, Sango. I love you so much that I can’t be apart from you anymore. Will you please do me the honor of becoming my mate?”

Sango’s eyes went wide and she pulled away from her hanyou for a moment. She studied the ruggedly handsome face for a minute and then whispered, “Yes. I would love to become your mate, Inu Yasha.”

Yelping, he picked his woman up and swung her around in his arms. He was so happy that he finally had the beginnings of family.

As the happy couple celebrated their joy, they did not notice that a pair of dark eyes were watching, plotting against them.

Inu Yasha was so happy, he decided to inform his brother of his impending mating. He grabbed Sango’s hand and rushed into the palace, pulling his woman behind him, laughing as the ascended the stairs.

Sango giggled as her hanyou led her down the hall and finally stopped at a set of large doors. Taking a deep breath, Inu Yasha pushed open the doors and ran into the room, Sango in tow, and shouted, “Guess what….Oh, my Kami, I will never fuck again.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

They grunted and strained against each other, intent on reaching their peak at the same time. Sweat glistened on their bodies as they made love.

When he felt the oncoming of his climax, he was relieved to feel Kagome’s muscles clench his cock and he reared his head back, his fangs lengthening in preparation. This was going to be his finest moment…well, it was going to be his finest moment.

When Inu Yasha ran into the room and shouted, “Guess what….Oh, my Kami, I will never fuck again,” Kagome screamed and pushed Sesshomaru off and out of her, causing him to roll off the bed. She grabbed a pillow and glared at the hanyou, who now had his eyes shut tightly and was covering Sango’s eyes with his claw.

“Don’t look, Sango. Only one of us should be scarred for life, and I would not want to wish such a sight upon the woman I love.” He whimpered, his face pale.

Sesshomaru slowly got up and grabbed his hakama. Once he had it on, he grabbed his haori and wrapped it around Kagome’s shaking shoulders. Damn, and he had been so close. The fates must really love to fuck him over.

He clenched his fists and glared at his brother. “Tell me why I should not kill you for disturbing us in our private chambers.” He demanded.

Inu Yasha shuddered and then slowly opened one eye. “Well, at least you both had the decency to do this in the bedchamber instead of where others can see and get sick. I just wanted to let you both know that Sango and I are going to mate and thought that Kagome would be interested to know that she and Sango are about to be sisters.” He explained, his golden eyes trained on his brother.

Kagome squealed, forgetting her anger and jumped up to hug Sango. Both women began to giggle and chatter amongst themselves. While they rambled, Sesshomaru inched over to his brother and whispered, “You do know that I intend on killing you for this interruption.”

Inu Yasha made a disgusted face. “You don’t have to. Seeing your naked ass bouncing up and down is more than enough punishment, big brother. Trust me, I have suffered enough.” He whispered back. He quickly moved from the brooding taiyoukai and allowed Kagome to hug him. It was clear that she was happy for them.

Sesshomaru crossed his arms over his chest, and had he been anyone else, he would have pouted. Finally, he growled and asked, “Don’t you think that instead of talking about mating, you should go and do it?”

Inu Yasha shook his head. “Not tonight. My night is shot after what I witnessed. Well, see you two later, and hopefully clothed.” He said, grabbing Sango’s hand and leading her out of the room.

Kagome shook her head and then yawned. She glanced over at her lover and said, “Well, there is always tomorrow.”

Sesshomaru nodded and helped her into the bed, removing the haori from her shoulders and throwing over the back of a chair. He took off his hakama and climbed into bed with her. As they lay side-by-side, Sesshomaru had to wonder if he would have to take Kagome into the forest to mark her. They could probably get more privacy out there, seeing as how everyone was up in everyone else’s business in the palace.

As his eyes closed, he snuggled Kagome close to him and sighed. This would definitely be the last night that they were unmated.
