Midsummer Night's Dream

A/N:I don't own IY. Sorry about the tardiness of my chapter. My computer got sick and I am using my mom's. LOL. Anyways, please review. It makes me feel loved and makes my muse want to get naught. Hmmm, I do believe that a lemon is schedualed for the next chapter. So, make a muse happy and review.

Inu Yasha and his group sat before Sesshomaru and each held a different look upon their faces. The slayer’s face held a look of shock.

“I can’t believe it.” She whispered, her face pale.

The monk’s face was gleeful. “Well, I guess that you won’t have to worry about Kagome catching you with Kikyo, anymore. Now, she has two mates who will keep her busy.”

The slayer’s hand snaked out, and in a lightening quick movement, she had the monk knocked out cold.

Inu Yasha held a look of disgust on his face. “So, tell me again why you of all people decided to mate with a human, Sesshomaru? I know that Kagome is pretty, but aren’t you the one who keeps walking around with a stick shoved up his ass and telling other demons that mating with a human is beneath your kind?”

Sesshomaru smirked. “Well, little brother. It would appear that I was wrong about humans. It seems that some humans do have qualities that are very attractive. You see, at first, I was not willing to mate with Kagome, however, the wolf showed me the error of my ideas.”

“I knew it!” Inu Yasha yelled. “That baka wolf was the one who suggested Kagome. I am going to kill that son of a bitch.”

Sesshomaru stood up. “No. You will not touch my mate. Either of them. Now, if you wish to speak with Kagome, you may stay here for the night. However, mind your manners. I will not tolerate her being upset.”

Sango immediately nodded. She looked over at Inu Yasha and glared at him. The hanyou sighed.

“You win. I won’t cause a scene. But, I want to speak to Kagome alone. I want to know what she thinks about all of this, and I don’t want you and Kouga around to influence her answers.” Inu Yasha growled. He didn’t even wait for his brother’s response. He walked into the hallway and yelled for the snotty little toad.

Sesshomaru bit back a smirk. He had decided to show his little brother exactly how much Kagome was wanted. He would have to wait until she came back at the palace, but getting her alone would not be a problem. And the hot springs that sat beside the rooms that the hanyou and his friends would be placed in would serve his needs perfectly.

Sesshomaru watched as Jaken led the small group up the stairs and to their rooms. He could not wait until the next day. His body was already beginning to ache from not touching his mate. He needed to feel her flesh against his and he could not help but silently curse the wolf. He knew the exact minute when his mates began to love one another. His own body reacted to the sensations and emotions, and he eventually spilled his own seed while he sat in his study. That had never happened before. It was clear that the bond between them was growing and for some reason, it calmed him to know that he was in a relationship with a woman like Kagome. He had seen her devotion to his brother, and used to wonder why she wasted her time on him. It had dawned on him that it was her nature to love those who she came into contact with and he even had to wonder if she felt pity towards a creature like Naraku. He had never once seen her act out of hatred. No, it was not in her to hate anyone. He walked up the stairs to his own bedchambers. If he were going to ravish his mate, he had better be well rested. ‘Tomorrow, it will be I who is in charge. I will teach my mate what true dominance is.’ He thought, as he entered the large room. He quickly got out of his clothing and slipped into bed. He took in a deep breath and could still smell Kagome upon his sheets. He closed his eyes and told himself that she would be by his side the next evening. Until then, he would have to wait.

Inu Yasha paced around the room he was given. It was funny. He had lived in this very same palace when he was still a pup, but he could not get comfortable. His mind kept wandering to what Sesshomaru had told them about the marks upon Kagome and how they sent her into a frenzy that could only be satisfied by Kouga or himself.

It just was not fair. Kagome should never have been mated. He was the one who could touch her, not his bastard brother and the wimpy wolf. Now, she was mated to both of the demons that he hated most and there was nothing he could do about it. He would wait until Kagome came back to the palace and he would deal with her. She owed him answers and he would not rest until he got them.

It was early when Kouga awoke, but instead of getting up, he stayed right where he was. He loved the feeling of Kagome in his arms and he could not help but lean over and bury his nose in her hair. He took in her scent, closing his eyes as his body tingled with delight. He quickly opened his eyes when he heard Kagome moan.

“Good Morning, love.” Kouga whispered quietly.

“Morning.” Kagome mumbled, rubbing her eyes.

Kouga smiled and pulled her closer to him. He felt her turn her head so that it now rested between his neck and shoulder. He could sense that she was trying not to slip back into the world of dreams, however, after the previous night, he wanted her to rest as much as possible, so he began to softly growl at her while he rubbed her back. He heard her sigh, and soon, she had drifted back to sleep.

Kouga looked towards the entrance when he heard footsteps. His eyes narrowed when Ginta peeked into the room.

“Kouga. I need to speak with you.” He said quietly, adverting his eyes from the couple in the bed.

“Go outside. I will join you in a minute.” Kouga ordered. He watched as Ginta turned and left. He groaned at the thought of leaving his mate, but he was still leader and had duties to attend to. He eased Kagome from him and slowly extracted himself from their bed. He covered her with the furs and then turned to dress in his armor and furs. With one last look at Kagome, he then walked out of his den and to the spot where Ginta and Hakkaku stood.

“Ok, I am here, so what was so important that you felt it was necessary to disturb my time with my mate?” Kouga asked, his tail snapping back and forth, clearly showing his irritation.

Ginta grinned sheepishly. “Sorry about that Kouga. But, we wanted to tell you that everyone is grateful that you brought us to this new den and we wanted to show our appreciation to you. We also wanted to tell you how last night’s festivities played out.”

“I see. So, does this mean that the two of you now have mates?” Kouga asked. He smirked upon seeing the blushes on his two friend’s faces.

“Yeah, we got mated last night. I mated with Mila.” Hakkaku informed him.

“And I mated with Sabra.” Ginta told him.

Kouga nodded. Both females were good demonesses. They would care for his two friends well. After extending his congratulations, Kouga informed the two demons that he and Kagome would be returning to the palace. He told Ginta that as his second in command, he would be in charge of the tribe while his leader was away.

Ginta’s chest swelled with pride, and he nodded. Hakkaku slapped his brother on the back with a grin and offered to help in anyway possible. Happy that everything was in order, Kouga returned to his chambers to see his mate sitting at the edge of their bed.

“Kagome. You should be resting. We will be leaving for the palace in a couple of hours.” Kouga gently scolded her.

Kagome smiled up at him. “I know. But, I feel so rested, and I just wanted to get up and look around. If that is ok with you.”

Kouga nodded. He watched as Kagome stood up and retrieved her kimono. His mouth began to water as he watched her naked form bend down to grab the silky material. What he would not give to take her again and keep her in their chambers for several more hours, but alas, that could not happen. Sesshomaru was right. They had to get her ready to be received by the royal court and that would mean that it would be Sesshomaru who had to train her. Kouga never bothered with such events, but now that he was also mated to Sesshomaru through Kagome, he would have to start attending. How he detested those stupid events.

When Kagome was finally dressed, he held out his hand and smiled when his beloved mate took it. He led her outside and called his people together.

“My mate and I will be leaving for the western palace soon. I am leaving Ginta in charge with Hakkaku as his second in command. I expect you to follow the rules set forth regarding our new home. I will be attending court next week and after it is concluded, I will return to check on all of you. Remember, we are in Lord Sesshomaru’s lands, and though they are mine through becoming a mate of his, it is his rules that we live by. I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards him or myself. Am I clear?” Kouga asked.

The tribe all yelled their answer. “YES SIR!”

Kouga grinned and then nodded at Ginta. It was time to go. Picking Kagome up in his arms. He began to run. However, he did not run as fast as he did to get to the den. He really did not want to share her with Sesshomaru, but he was right. She was just as much his as she was Sesshomaru’s. His eyes narrowed when the palace came into view.

Kagome felt the change in Kouga’s aura. She looked at his face and saw that he was scowling. She reached up and cupped his cheek.

“What’s wrong?” She asked.

Kouga looked down and gave her a smile. “Nothing, my sweet. I am just thinking.” He replied. He slowed down to a walk as he entered the palace. He lifted his head and sniffed the air. There was no mistake about it. That damn hanyou was there. And speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Inu Yasha came running down the stairs and stopped directly in front of Kagome and Kouga.

“Let her go, stupid. I want to speak with her.” Inu Yasha growled.

Kouga set Kagome on her feet and then guided her to stand behind him. “Fuck off. I’m not letting you anywhere near my mate.” Kouga growled back.

Both males were so intent on growling at each other that they did not see Sesshomaru coming up behind them.

“Kouga. Let Inu Yasha speak with Kagome.” Sesshomaru said, his eyes narrowing as he looked at both males.

“No way. He has hurt her too many times. We are supposed to protect her, Sesshomaru. And now you are telling me to let him talk to her? I won’t allow it.” Kouga yelled.

Sesshomaru calmly stepped up to the enraged wolf. He leaned down and whispered into his mate’s ear. Suddenly, Kouga was singing a different tune. He nodded and then looked at Kagome.

“If I allow this, do you want to speak to the mutt?” Kouga asked.

Kagome stared at Inu Yasha and then slowly nodded. She was curious as to what he had to say.

Kouga sighed and then stepped away from her. “Fine. But you will speak in the gardens and there is to be no shouting at her, mutt. First time I hear you raise your voice to her, I will end your conversation.”

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes and walked over to Kagome. He took her arm and led her to the gardens. But before he left the two other males, he turned and flipped them off, resulting in Sesshomaru grabbing Kouga as he tried to leap at the offending hanyou. Giving the wolf a smirk, he walked through the doors that led to the gardens and followed Kagome to a bench.

When they were seated, Inu Yasha let loose. “So, were they a good fuck, Kagome?”

Kagome blinked. “Huh? What do you mean?”

“You know damn well what I mean. You fucked both of them and cheated on me. Now, you are mated to them and I can’t help you.” Inu Yasha growled.

Kagome’s face turned from pale to red. “Let me get this straight. I cheated on you? I do believe that you are forgetting about all of the nights you have snuck off and dallied with Kikyo. Or is it that you are the only one allowed to fuck anything?”

Inu Yasha stared at the angry young woman. “Th-that’s different.” He stammered. Hell, he had forgotten that everyone knew what he was up to at night. He then shook his head. No, she didn’t have any right to be angry. He was the one who had been wronged.

“Kagome. I have to be around Kikyo. I owe her my companionship. Don’t you see, I have done nothing wrong.” Inu Yasha explained.

Kagome could feel her body shaking from her anger. “Buddy, you are an egotistical, self centered, selfish, arrogant ass. How dare you come to the home I share with my mates and then scold me when I have done nothing wrong. I can’t believe that you honestly think that you are the victim here. I was not aware that anything happened until after I woke up in Sesshomaru’s bed and was told by my maid that I had been mated. I was under the impression that what happened had been a dream. So you can now cut the ‘poor little me’ act. I am not buying it.” She huffed.

Inu Yasha stood up, his hands clenched into fists. “Oh really. So, you didn’t want either of them?” He ground out through clenched teeth.

Kagome didn’t say a word. She looked away from him. How could she tell him that she was beginning to fall for both demons and the fact that they had such an affect on her and her body only made the situation all that much sweeter?

Inu Yasha grew irate at her silence. “Well, then. Tell me why it is that you have been calling out Kouga’s name in you sleep. It should be me that you are dreaming about, not that pathetic wolf.”

Kagome jumped to her feet and addressed the hanyou. “You really want to know why it was Kouga’s name and not yours that I called out in my sleep? Well, here. Let me explain. Kouga has always treated me well. Never once has he called me any names that would be offensive and hurtful. Every time he is near, he protects me and doesn’t hesitate to tell me how he feels about me, so it is only natural that I began to fall for him. Are you happy now?” She asked, a smirk playing on her lips.

Inu Yasha narrowed his eyes. “And what about my brother? Couldn’t have me so you went to my bastard relative.”

The next sound that vibrated through the quiet palace was the sound of skin making contact with skin.

Kagome stomped away from the hanyou, who had a very red handprint on his cheek. She stopped at the door and looked over at the man she had once cared for.

“You want to know how I feel about your brother, well, let me tell you. I am falling for him as well. At first, I thought he was cold hearted and mean, but I can see that I should have reserved those descriptive words for you. Sesshomaru may act as though he doesn’t care about anything or anyone, but I know that he cares for me. He doesn’t have to say it, but I can feel it. Now, if you will excuse me. I want to go and take a bath.” Kagome said, opening the door and walking back into the palace.

Inu Yasha stared at the door. He could feel his heart breaking. Why did he ever say such a thing to her? He loved her more than he loved Kikyo. Was this how she felt each time he left her to go to his former love? He had to try to speak to her again. He wanted to explain to her how he felt. He slowly walked to the door and opened it. He had never felt so bad in his entire life.
#####################################################################
Sesshomaru and Kouga had listened to the entire conversation from Sesshomaru’s study. Sesshomaru had to keep reminding Kouga about their next move against the mutt. Each time, Kouga would settle down. However, when Kagome told the mutt that she had been dreaming of him, he could not help but swell with pride. He had always known that his woman wanted him. Sesshomaru had rolled his eyes at the wolf, and then focused back on the conversation. He, too, felt a swell of pride when Kagome told the hanyou that she was falling for him as well. Both males had nearly fallen over with glee when they heard Kagome smack the mutt. Now, they were both anxious to get to Kagome and take her to the hot springs. It was time to give the mutt a show that he would never forget.
