Close Encounters Of The Fluffy Kind

Morning came and found the occupants of the western palace in a good mood. Inu Yasha was pleased to find that Kikyo had left the palace, and he grinned over at Sango, who was also relieved that the dead miko was gone.

Kouga and Ayame brought the pups back to the palace and watched as they surrounded their parents. The little girl had gone over to the taiyoukai and hugged his leg. The little kit had gone to Kagome and jumped into her arms, cuddling close to her. Kouga could not help but feel envious at the scene and then looked down at Ayame. They had discussed the possibility of having their own pups as soon as possible, but Ayame was hesitant. With Naraku still around, their pups would be in danger, and she did not know if she could bring an innocent life into the world knowing that there was a threat to its safety. He had made up his mind that he would take Naraku down as soon as possible.

Sesshomaru, too, was thinking about the possibility of impregnating his mate. He had decided that since they were now mated, he wanted his heir as soon as possible. He knew that Kagome would probably tell him that it was not the right time to have a pup because of Naraku, and that made the inu youkai begin to think of ways to kill off the threat.

Miroku grinned and thought about the twins that he had pleasured the night before. Suki and Yuki had definitely known how to show a man a good time. They were aggressive and had proclaimed that since they were twins, they shared everything, including males. Needless to say, he was very happy when he woke up. Ah, yes. The image of their bouncing breasts and sensuous kisses would forever be imprinted on his mind.

Inu Yasha looked around the table and cleared his throat. When he had everyone’s attention, he said, “After breakfast, I would like to speak with Sesshomaru, Kouga, and Miroku in the study. We need to discuss something that I think you will agree needs to be dealt with.”

The three males nodded, and Sesshomaru’s eyes narrowed. Never before had he heard his brother speak with such seriousness. Normally, he was sarcastic or playful, but this was something entirely new. He could not wait to hear what the hanyou had to say.

Kagome lifted her eyebrow and then sighed. Clearly, the males were up to something and the women would not be allowed to know what they were plotting. She looked down at her plate and wondered what they were going to do about Naraku. The hanyou was a danger to everyone that he came into contact with and she was anxious for his downfall.

They ate in silence and when breakfast was over, Inu Yasha stood up and motioned for the males to follow him. Sesshomaru walked past his mate and quickly took over the lead. He moved towards his study and once they were behind closed doors, Inu Yasha asked, “So, what are we going to do about Naraku?”

Kagome leaned back in her chair and then called for Jaken. When the toad appeared, she took in his sickly appearance and she gasped.

“Jaken, what in the hell happened to you?” She asked, her voice full of concern. She watched as the little toad tried to stand up straight, but nearly tipped over and decided that a hunched stance was much more beneficial.

“I seem to have gotten a stomach virus, my lady. It is nothing for you to worry about.” Jaken whispered, his little body quivering.

Kagome shook her head. “Jaken, go back to your chambers and lay down. You are to stay in bed for the rest of the day, and if you are not better by tomorrow, you will be confined to bed then, as well.” She said, pointing to the door.

When the toad shuffled from the room, Kagome called to one of the guards and told him that for the day, he would be in charge of the pups. The guard nodded and watched as the children ran to him. Smiling down at them, he ushered them outside and headed towards the gardens.

When the children were gone, Kagome looked at the women and said, “I am worried.”

Ayame and Sango glanced over at each other and Sango said, “Let me guess. You are worried about Naraku, right?”

Kagome nodded. “It is clear to me that we will never be allowed to live normal lives if he is allowed to live. I was thinking about something that might work against him. We know from past experiences that he needs the shikon jewel to power his barrier. I thought that since I am able to purify the tainted shards, perhaps I could purify the barrier enough so that it breaks.”

Ayame leaned back in her chair. “Well, it sounds like a good idea, but from what Kouga has told me, Naraku is made up of many youkai, and it would almost be impossible to determine just how many youkai he has under his control. I know that you can purify youkai, but you can only do so much, Kagome. But, as long as you promise me Kagura, I will go along with anything you want.” She said, her fangs barred.

Sango lifted an eyebrow. “What do you want Kagura for?” She asked. She watched as the female wolf shake her head and heard her say, “Remember that it was Kagura who killed my clansmen, along with men from Kouga’s pack. Derk was not my only brother. I had an older brother named Naru, who had gone along with the males to the castle that supposedly held shards, but it was a trap, and Kagura killed them with a swipe of her fan. Kouga says that he will be able to kill the wind witch, but I know better. He will not be able bring himself to kill a woman, even one who has committed a crime as heinous as the one committed against our tribes, so I am going to do it for him. I have no problems killing the bitch, and I will take great joy in it.”

Sango and Kagome glanced at each other, and then nodded. Finally, Kagome stood up. “I think it is time that we demand that our men do something about Naraku. I, for one, want to ensure that my pups are safe and can grow up without the fear of being attacked.”

The two other females nodded and stood up. They walked out of the dining room and headed towards the study. Kagome knocked on the door and then opened it. All three women glared at the males and Kagome asked, “What do you plan to do about Naraku, and whatever you do decide, we are going to be a part of it.”

Sesshomaru stood up and said, “Well, since it appears that Naraku is the topic on everyone’s mind, come in and sit down. We have much to discuss before we strike.”

Kikyo’s plan had gone well. That idiot, Naraku, had failed to see her and she could only guess that he had grown comfortable within his fortress. Well, that would be his downfall. He thought that he was untouchable now that he had most of the jewel. However, as its former guardian, Kikyo knew that it would only be a matter of time before the jewel decided that it had taken enough of Naraku’s abuse and would revolt against him.

Kikyo knew that the jewel was a living thing, that the soul of Midoriko resided in that jewel and it would only take a push for her to react. Kikyo grinned as she thought about the push that she was about to give. Naraku would never expect it, nor would he believe that he had been taken down so easily.

Squaring her shoulders, Kikyo made her way to the barrier, and easily passed through it. She walked until she saw the gloomy walls of the palace in front of her and she shook her head. The palace looked run down and filthy. For someone who boasted that he enjoyed the luxuries of life, he sure did not live luxurious.

Swallowing down the bile that had risen in her throat, Kikyo walked into the palace and headed directly towards the master chambers. She reached the doors and closed her eyes. When she was ready, she reached for the handle and slid the door open and smiled at the man who was sitting beside the window, glaring at her.

“Good evening, Naraku. Kikyo has finally decided to take you up on your offer, my sweet.” She purred, closing the door behind her.

Sesshomaru nodded. This was going the way he had hoped. They had finally decided on a battle plan and had decided to leave in the morning. Naraku would not expect an attack so soon, but that was what they wanted. He would not have time to create another spawn, and they would only have to deal with Naraku, Kanna, Kagura, and Kohaku.

Sango stiffened when Sesshomaru mentioned her brother’s name. “When we find him, I will be the one to face him. If he is to die, then it will be at my hand and at no others.” She said, firmly.

Inu Yasha reached over and patted her hand. “We might not have to kill him. There is a chance that we might still be able to save him.” He said, trying to sound positive.

Kagome sighed. “No, Inu Yasha. Kohaku will either die by Sango’s hand or Naraku’s. The jewel shard is the only thing keeping him alive and without it, his soul will be released. Not even tensaiga can save him now, and even if we could save him, he would be haunted by the visions of himself killing his father and friends. He would go insane from the grief.” She said, sadly.

Sango nodded. “My brother and I were taught that to die with honor was the only way to die. I will not allow my brother to die in disgrace. To die at Naraku’s hand while he is helpless would be dishonorable. I won’t let that happen. I want everyone to know that I will not accept your help, and I ask that you do not interfere.” She said.

Ayame coughed. “And, I want everyone to stay away from Kagura. She is mine to kill and I won’t accept help.” She said, her green eyes hardening.

Kouga leapt up. “Hell no. That bitch is mine.” He growled, his fangs lengthening at the thought of being denied his revenge.

“You and I both know that you will not be able to kill a woman, even if she is your enemy. I will kill her and our people will be avenged. Sorry, mate. That is what is going to happen and if you refuse me this request, I will refuse your requests in the bedchamber.” Ayame threatened.

Kouga paled. He knew that she was serious. Could he live without her sweet mouth on his body? Could he survive without the feel of her soft body sliding against his? And, what about her spankings? Nope, it would not happen.

“Fine, if you get to her first, she is yours, but, Ayame, if she crosses my path, she is mine and you can’t get upset with me or interfere.” Kouga said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Ayame glared at her mate, knowing full well that he would try and do everything in his power to ensure that Kagura crossed his path. However, that was the best from him that she would receive and she would have to settle for it.

“Fine.” Ayame agreed. She watched as a victorious smirk crossed her mate’s lips and she rolled her eyes. How sad that she, a mighty female warrior from her tribe could be brought down by a man. If the other women could see her now, they would be dying from laughter.

Standing up, Sesshomaru offered Kagome his hand and looked at the others. “It is decided. Take the rest of this day and rest up. We leave at dawn. Kagome, come with me.” He ordered.

Kagome gave her friends a smile and followed her mate. Together, they walked up the stairs and headed to their bedchamber. Once inside, Sesshomaru quickly buried his head in her neck and growled softly. He closed his eyes and took in her scent. When he finally pulled back, he said, “I do not want you to participate.”

Kagome lifted an eyebrow. “Too bad. I am going, and you are not going to stop me. Besides, I am the only one who can purify the jewel, and the barrier.” She said, a confident smirk crossing over her lips.

Sesshomaru glared down at his mate and said, “Yes, I am aware of this, but I still do not want you to go. However, it seems that you will be needed, and that I have no choice, so I will say this. You are to stay beside me at all times. I will not lose you to that filthy hanyou.”

Sighing, Kagome nodded. Satisfied, he nodded and ordered Kagome to spend the rest of the day in bed. He said that it was for her own good and that he would be in counsel for the rest of the day with the other males.

Kagome watched as he left the chamber and grinned. She had won a small victory over her mate and now it was time to celebrate. She quickly undressed and climbed into the bed. Closing her eyes, she smirked. It was a sweet victory indeed.

For the rest of the day, the western palace was quiet and its occupants were taking the opportunity to rest and relax. The males were locked in the study and had been discussing a battle plan that they were sure would work. None of them noticed that day had faded into the night and a very familiar moon graced the sky.

Kagome’s eyes snapped open and she felt the calling of the blood moon. Her body tingled and she grunted in frustration as she realized that she was all alone in the room. She slowly climbed out of bed and reached for her robe. Not caring about the fact that the material was very flimsy, and that she was not wearing any panties, she made her way out of the bedchamber and began her search.

Sesshomaru felt the tug of his loins. He groaned as he felt his erection arise and it was when Miroku pointed out the window that Sesshomaru realized that his night would be anything but restful.

He slowly turned his gaze upon the males before him and saw that their faces were contorted in horror. He heard Miroku whisper for the males to back away slowly and to not make any sudden moves. When Inu Yasha asked why, Kouga replied, “Apparently, now that he and Kagome are mated, it makes the call of the blood moon much more severe. He is slowly beginning to lose control of his inu. Just stay still, and we should be fine.”

Sesshomaru turned his now-red eyes to the door and could detect the sweet scent of his mate, and she was completely aroused. However, the male voice that was now speaking to her made Sesshomaru’s inu grow into a very fierce rage. How dare another male speak to his mate, his woman.

Leaping up from his desk, Sesshomaru yanked the door of his study open and heard it rip from the hinges. He bounded out of the study and soon found himself face-to-face with one of his guards. The inu within Sesshomaru realized that his mate was not in control of herself, and that made his anger at the guard double. That bastard was taking advantage of his mate! His fangs lengthening, Sesshomaru slowly approached the pair, his claws ready to do some serious damage. This was going to be fun.

The young guard had been on duty for only an hour and already was bored. Nothing exciting ever happened to him and he was upset that he would not be able to meet that cute serving wench, Yubu, in the stable. He growled softly and then closed his eyes for a moment, as he struggled to get his temper under control.

His eyes quickly snapped open when a very pleasant scent hit his nose and he looked towards the stairs to see a small human female walk down the stairs. He took in her appearance and could easily see her curves through the thin robe. He licked his lips and growled appreciatively. She was a very stunning creature.

He froze when the small female turned and stared at him, a confused look crossing her face. Suddenly, a seductive smile appeared and she began to walk towards him, her tiny hands beginning to play with the belt that tied her robe closed.

His eyes never moved from the woman, and he found that he was quickly growing to erection as she approached. The scent that she was emanating was intoxicating and he instantly forgot his station. Calling to her softly, the guard watched as she nibbled on her bottom lip and he took note that her arousal continued to grow.

He did not dare to pry his eyes away from the approaching female, and he reached up and took off his helmet, his green hair spilling over his shoulders and down his back. His green eyes stared into the female’s eyes and took note that she was unfocused, however, that did not matter to him. All he wanted was to throw the small female down and have his way with her until neither of them could move.

When she finally came within touching range, he stepped forward and grasped her hands within his larger ones. He took over the job of releasing the belt and watched it fall to the floor. He pushed his rough hands into the robe and began to part the material when he heard a loud growl.

Snarling, he turned to look at the intruder and found that his lord was quickly making his way down the hall and the lord looked pissed. Suddenly, the guard’s good sense kicked in and he stared in horror at the female, finally figuring out that the woman was Lady Kagome and more importantly, his lord’s mate. He tried to step back, but the lady wrapped her arms around his waist and ground her body into his. It was clear that she was in heat and unable to control herself, and from the look of her mate, there was about to be a lot of blood shed.

Sesshomaru reached out and grabbed Kagome’s arm. He yanked her to his body and snarled down at her, telling her that he was displeased, but she reached up and pulled his head down and kissed him deeply, silencing anything he was about to say. Though his eyes remained trained on the guard, he allowed himself to enjoy the need-filled kiss that his mate was bestowing upon him and when they broke apart, they had been joined by Inu Yasha, Sango, Kouga, Ayame, and Miroku.

Sesshomaru pulled away from the lusting female and shoved her into the nearest pair of arms. He reached out and grabbed the guard by the collar and pulled him close. He smirked and felt the guard in his grip tremble, and just as he was about to deliver the death blow, Kouga yelped, “KAGOME! QUIT THAT!”

Sesshomaru turned to find his mate kissing the wolf prince’s neck and his mate staring at the scene with an amused look upon her face. Kagome’s hands kept wandering down to the wolf’s backside and he began to struggle. Finally, he glared at his mate and barked, “What in the hell do you find so funny?”

Ayame broke out into laughter. “I just find it so ironic that a year ago, you would have killed to be in this position and now, here you are, and you are begging to get away from her.” She said, as she reached over and pried her sister from her mate. She held Kagome tightly as she watched Kouga straighten his clothing. She felt Kagome turn and attempt to touch the monk, who wisely stepped away from Kagome. She smiled when she heard the cursed miko grunt in frustration. Clearly, all she wanted to do was fuck and was getting upset that she was being denied.

“That was then, and this is now. I can’t believe that you let her molest me.” He grumbled, though he did have to admit that Ayame had a point. It was a bit amusing, but he was still embarrassed.

Inu Yasha must have sensed the wolf’s discomfort and said, “Well, if you feel badly, think of how she is going to feel when she remembers fondling you. I can’t wait to see how many shades of red she will turn when she sees you.”

Kouga laughed. That would be a sight to see. Turning his attention back to Sesshomaru, he noticed that the inu was watching the scene with narrowed eyes. Coughing, he said, “Don’t you think that you should take your mate upstairs, Sesshomaru?”

Sesshomaru’s inu was in turmoil. He did want to take care of Kagome, but he also wanted to make the wretch in his grasp suffer. Decisions, decisions. However, when Kagome began to whimper and hunch over in pain as the cramps associated with the curse hit her, the decision was made. He snarled and threw the male backwards into the wall. He grabbed Kagome and threw her over his shoulder before bolting up the stairs and heading to their chambers.

Once secure behind closed doors, Sesshomaru lost the control that he had been struggling to keep. He threw his mate down onto the bed and began to rip his clothing from his body. Once he was nude, he turned to the female before him and snarled.

Kagome felt her robe being ripped from her body and she gasped. Before they had mated, the feelings had been intense when he touched her, but now, there were no words to describe how she felt and she only wanted more of what he had to offer her.

Sensing her need, Sesshomaru quickly dominated his mate and pressed her to the bed. He flicked his tongue out and began to caress every inch of skin that was within his reach. His tail slithered between them and began to caress Kagome’s already soaked core. When she spread her thighs for him, he growled in appreciation, and then turned his attention to her breasts.

His tongue swirled around her nipple and he then bit down, his fangs puncturing her soft flesh. When the spicy taste of her blood hit his tongue, his inu went ballistic. With a ferocious howl, Sesshomaru viciously sheathed himself within his mate, earning himself a scream.

Kagome felt as though she was about to explode. When he slammed into her, she could only describe the feeling as euphoric. His touch, his taste, his bite, and the feel of his body pounding into hers made her feel like she was in paradise.

Sesshomaru could not have stopped, even if he wanted to. His youkai simply did not understand that humans had to be handled carefully. All it wanted to do was satisfy the heated female beneath them and obtain the greatest gift that a female could give to her male. His inu wanted offspring, and from the way it had taken control, it would not stop until it was given its greatest desire.

For hours they mated. Their positions varied and so did the intensity of their lovemaking. Finally, when the sun dominated over the moon, a howl was heard throughout the palace. The western lands now had a new prince.
