To The West, Welcome The New Lady Of the Western Lards!
Sesshomaru kept true to his word, at sunrise he gently shook Kagome awake. Or at least he attempted to and was currently failing miserably.
Kagome groaned in her sleeping state she was tired she so did not want to wake up, "Mom I don't feel so good, please call school and tell them I'm not coming in today." she said groggily while attempting to swat away the hand shaking her.
"Miko, I am not your mother." a firm clearly masculine voice sounded close to her ears. She jumped slightly in alarm for a moment she forgot where she was which only served to scare the crap out of her.
"Sesshomaru? Oh God you scared me half to death!" she said while she held a hand to her heart trying to calm the frantic beating. When she looked at her mate and saw the questioning look he gave her she laughed nervously. "Uh… never mind it is a term where I come from." she told him when she realized he took it seriously.
"Come we leave now." he stated before standing and taking her with him. Standing tall with his miko mate still in his arms he surveyed the surroundings with his youkai senses. Sensing no dangers he placed Kagome on her feet.

The journey 'home' was uneventful he flew the whole way holding her possessively at his side. There was no nice chit chat only utter silence and it was killing her. Kagome strived in a social scene, she was an avid talker she enjoyed it. Imagine her disappointment in learning it was a futile effort to try and engage Sesshomaru in a nice conversation that was not a subject of utter importance.
So there she sat on his youki cloud with a dissatisfied pout. 'It must be the hormones.' she thought while wondering how far along she was at the moment. 'How long do ningen take to give birth to a hanyou child?' she thought as she realized she had no clue what so ever. She was still a little wary of Sesshomaru and how he would act towards his hanyou son or daughter. She would not allow him to degrade the child for being born something it could not help 'The child did not ask to be born after all.' she thought irritably, the loss of friendly conversation was making her thoughts darken with worry.
Sesshomaru stood tall the perfect sculpture of stoic perfection, he looked out the corner of his eyes to his mate. He could sense her mood changes and was curious, he did not know how one could live with all the emotional turmoil she was now showing him unintentionally. He wondered if it was because of her pregnant state, he did remember what Izayoi was like in her pregnancy. She was moody, and her emotions changed faster then he had cared to remember. She was quicker to sadden, quicker to anger and a hell of a lot hungrier.
He did not know what he was going to do with her once they arrived at their home. He would need to introduce her to the guards and servants so none of them got any ideas about her. He would hate to have to kill a servant or a guard because she had a knack for attracting male youkai to her like a moth to a flame. He never really did understand why she attracted such attention but seeing as how she attracted him he could not deny the truth in the claim his mind made.
He was not looking forward to the outburst that was sure to happen with the news of him taking a ningen mate, never mind the fact that she was also a miko of high standing and power. He did not care what anyone thought because if they did not like it he could just as easily kill them for their error in judgment.
The shadowed outline of a castle came into view; Kagome could not believe the grand scale of it. She knew now without a doubt that this was not standing in the modern times because if it was she would know about it. "This is your home Sesshomaru?" she asked in shy awe.
Looking out of the corner of his eyes he replied "Yes this is our home." he replied while stressing the 'our' part.
'Our' it echoed in her head since he said it. She could not believe it, that this castle was her home. It was then that the situation she was now in hit her full force 'OH MY GOD! I am the LADY OF THE WESTERN LANDS!' now why did that piece of information not come to her sooner?
Now she was nervous she knew nothing of youkai politics, and only a little about it from her time. 'I am so screwed!' she thought while imagining the faces of the other lords when they met Sesshomaru's ningen mate who knew nothing of their ways. Shifting nervously she looked at Sesshomaru "Sesshomaru, I am sure you are aware but I know nothing of youkai politics and that fact makes me nervous. I was hoping that maybe you had a library that I could use to learn as much as I can until I have to meet the other lords. I do not want to embarrass you by not knowing anything about anything." she told nervously hoping he would not deny her wish, she knew that woman in this era were uneducated and she silently hoped he was on one of the many males who liked their women that way.
He was surprised by her admission to say the least; he knew she would not have known anything about being the mate of a lord because she was not raised with the knowledge. But knowing that she wished to learn without him even having to ask her, he knew that she had saved him a headache. He knew that she would need to learn a few things, he did not know if she was educated or not. He was relieved to learn that evidently she could read, that was one less thing on his list of things to do. There was a great deal about his mate that he did not know. Like whom her family was or where she was from because he could tell she was not from Japan even though she spoke it excellently. She had strange mannerisms and a different idea of modesty 'Really what being would allow their daughter to leave her home dressed in such short skirts and tight haori?' that was a question he asked himself many times.
As he was musing about the inevitable meeting of his mate and the lords he decided that maybe he should learn exactly how educated his mate really was. It would not do to have a simpleton as a mate. He was highly educated, being taught by the most accomplished scholars of his time. His library was the largest of all the lords, his thirst for power also was transferred to a thirst for knowledge; he did not like to be ignorant about anything.
Turning to his mate he regarded her for a moment before inclining his head slightly "You may have full access to my library if that is your wish." he told her before once again turning his attention towards the approach of his castle.
Sighing in relief she could not help but feel a little better. At least now she knew he had nothing against an educated woman which was a good thing because she was highly educated in comparison to the people of this era. She silently wondered what it would be like to have an educated debate with Sesshomaru, 'Would he surprise her with his wealth of knowledge or would he actually not be very educated except of course when it came to battle plans and lordly duties.
The rest of the hour was spent in silence both too immersed in their own thoughts to voice any comment aloud. The silence was not intimidating or uncomfortable rather it was a contented silence, both satisfied with the current mood.
Sesshomaru landed in the courtyard and his cloud dispersed from under their feet, but he kept a good hold on her so she would not trip or fall. The servants all stopped what they were doing to approach the Lord of the castle and bow in respect. Each of them looking at the ningen women in his arms, they were to afraid to comment about it but they knew.
Anyone with a decent nose could tell his scent blanketed hers, mingled and mixed with it. They were intimate not very long ago, even though their actions were most likely washed away in a bath. They knew his lord despised unseemliness and no doubt made the ningen bathe, they all thought along the same line. Their lord just brought home a ningen for his harem; it did not strike them strange that he did not in fact have a harem they just assumed he was going to.
Hushed whispers soon filled the court yard and the births of rumors were made.
Sesshomaru could hear the whispers of his servants but paid them no heed; they were after all only servants. "Misami." Sesshomaru said in a soft commanding tone as a kitsune youkai stepped forward.
Misami was a kijo who looked to be sixteen years old in ningen years. She had dark auburn hair and green eyes and wore a plain grey kimono. She stepped forward then bowed low while speaking "Yes Sesshomaru-sama?" she asked awaiting her orders.
Sesshomaru eyed the kijo intensely making her fidget nervously from the attention "You will be Lady Kagome's Personal Assistant. My mate (series of gasps could be heard) shall have full access to any part of the castle she wishes. She will also need a few kimono made and have a ladies closet brought into our room." he told her abruptly his voice smooth and calm as he stood beside his mate.
They could not believe it! She was not a concubine, she was his mate! He mated a ningen, just like his father! The females were enraged that such a fine specimen of the inu male species was now off the market because he mated a ningen. The males were in awe, they all thought the same thing 'She must be amazing to have gained the attention of one such as our lord.' considering his hate of her kind it was indeed strange.'
Kagome stood beside her mate not speaking or moving she was at a loss of what to do, she was extremely nervous. She knew first impressions were everything and she did NOT want to screw it up and look stupid! She could have cried when she heard the whispers of her being a concubine for the harem. 'They spoke as if Sesshomaru had one already!' she thought while remembering that he had told her in a round about way he did not have a harem. 'So why were they talking like he did?' she asked herself silently while observing the servants and the females hateful glares. In response she held her head high and stepped closer to her mate, in which he responded by placing a clawed hand around her on her waist.
