Chapter Six

Since the fight with the boar youkai Kagome and Sugimi have been avoiding each other like a plague, neither could be in the same room while the other was there. The three sisters only laughed at their action, they didn’t know what went on in that garden that day nor were they going to know not if Kagome had anything to do with it.

Sugimi mostly hid in his study he couldn’t believe what he did that night, it wasn’t something he planed on doing it just happened, but the feel of her lips so soft. Her taste he just wanted to drown in her, she tasted like crisp spring water mixed with honey, and it was enough to keep his mind on it.

Kagome for once wasn’t in the dojo train she was in her chambers hiding from Sugimi who was in the dojo training. Kagome was beginning to miss Sugimi around her, she was beginning to the little arguments they would have and the sparing matches they’d do when bored. She even missed his dumb founded look when Kagome said a phrase from her time, though none of those times would ever add up to his reaction to the phrase “bite me” .

~~~~~~~~~~
Sugimi had pulled away from a shocked Kagome the kiss was like nothing he’s ever felt, so he was sure that Kagome was just blown away by it. He wanted to ease the tension around them after the kiss, when he remembered the words Kagome yelled at him in battle.

“Kagome did you want me to mate you before the fight?”
“Huh what are you talking about?”
“You asked me to bite you, did you not?”
“Sugimi-sama ‘bite me’ doesn’t mean mate me it’s hard to explain”

~~~~

Remembered having to explain “bite me” to the inu Kagome doubled over laughing, then stopped and went back to looking out her window. ‘Come on Kagome you can do this, it’s like being away from Inuyasha in your time, and plus it’s not like you actually like the guy that way’ Kagome thought while sighing.

Outside her chambers door someone was listening to what went on in the room, he wanted to know everything that went on inside and what Kagome was thinking inside. Sighing when they didn’t get what he hopped for, he turned away and left as silently as he’d come. ‘Come on Sugimi you can do this, just go back to the way you were before the kiss.’

The following days were hard on both Kagome actually saw Sugimi with one of the wolves demoness, Kagome tried not to get upset about it, but she could not help but feel that she was being betrayed. Sugimi was having the same if not more trouble then Kagome Naomi had cornered him once again since he and Kagome haven’t been talking he was being to believe that she has some kind of spell on him that tells her when he’s alone.

Naomi was absolutely beaming it’s not three times that she’s been alone with Sugimi since the little bitch left him alone finally, she couldn’t wait to tell her sisters of how close she was to becoming the new lady of the western lands. She walked down the hall to her and her sisters’ chambers she skipped half way down the hall very happy with how things were going for her.

Kagome had decided to come out of her room and try to find something to do, when she turned down the hall she ran right into something very hard and stumbling back about two steps. Looking up Kagome gasps when Sugimi looked down at her.

“Kagome are you feeling well?’
“Is that all you can say to me after all this time?”
“Look Kagome I am sorry for before in the garden it was-“
“Just stop Sugimi you are my friend and I’m not embarrassed about it, it was something sweet and I’ll always remember it as such, but I don’t think your mate to be won’t like us being around each other like we were before”

Kagome sadly walked away from Sugimi sadly, she knew that if she was going to be around him any longer she’d actually yell at him for being around one of the wolves. For reason unknown to her she was sad that he chose one of the wolves as a mate, it wasn’t like she was in love with Sugimi, but she didn’t like that wolves.

Sugimi watched Kagome leave wondering where she got the idea that he chose someone to be his mate. ‘I thought I told her that I will not mate unless in love’ Sugimi questioned himself as he walked to his library. He wanted to find something to calm him down and the only thing besides sparing is reading a long boring book, and since he couldn’t spar since the only one that can handle him is Kagome he chose to get a book, but what he found in the library wasn’t what he thought he would.

Kagome wanted to get away from Sugimi quickly, so she went to a place that she normally was left alone the library, however, this time it wasn’t meant to be. Shortly after Kagome sat down with her book the door slid open revealing the same inu she just left in the hall.

“Kagome I-“
“Sugimi-sama with all do respect, I do not need to hear about your new mate to be” Kagome said shocking Sugimi.
“Kagome I do not know where you got this idea of me even thinking about one of those wolves, but you need to think back I once told you I would only mate for love remember”
“Hai, but how am I to know what you fall in love!” Kagome said standing up

Sugimi didn’t know what to do she was just trying to fight with him for no reason. Well Sugimi wasn’t going to let her get the best of him, no he’s going to make sure Kagome gets what she desires.

“Kagome you are to stop this at once, you are acting like a young pup!”
“Well at least I’m not acting like an inu fart that couldn’t even fall in love!”
“I can not fall in love, huh than why is it that I love you?” Sugimi said without even realizing what it was he said.

Kagome was shocked she didn’t think that he was in love with her, but what scared her the most was that a part of her was very happy about it. It was like it wanted to come out and tell him the same thing the problem was Kagome didn’t know if she felt the same thing after all she still thought she could find a way back to Inuyasha and that they’ll live happily together.

Sugimi just stood there unable to move, he didn’t know what Kagome’s reaction was going to be. And to be honest he didn’t know what his was going to be. It might have shocked him even more then it did Kagome, he didn’t think he had that kind of feelings for her. Yeah Toutosai had said that he was treating her like his mate to be, but he didn’t think that a part of him thought of her as such.

It was at this time that Lord Katsu decided to come into the library, he was hoping to caught Kagome alone, but stead he found her alone with Sugimi looking like something very important just took place. Curious as he was Katsu tried to be very sneaky and find out what did go on before he entered.

Kagome saw Katsu and ran for the door; she didn’t need him finding out what Sugimi had just told her. Sugimi watched Kagome leave a little sad that she didn’t say anything in reply, that’s when he saw Katsu behind him and new why she left. Walking over to his book shelf Sugimi chose the most boring book he knew that he owned, and began to read knowing that Katsu was still there waiting for an answer to his unasked questions.

Kagome returned to her chambers and fell upon her large bed, sighing Kagome replayed the whole thing in her mind she felt like a love struck school girl, giggling Kagome went about her room doing what ever while thinking about what to se to Sugimi the next she saw him. That’s when Kagome realized something. ‘Wait a second if Sesshomaru’s mother isn’t here and Sugimi said he’d only mate for love and I know he’s only been mated twice, oh my god I’m Sesshomaru’s Mother!’

Kagome ran about palace frantic with this piece of news, but what shocked her most was to know that something ending up happening to her letting Sugimi free to mate Izayoi. Kagome began to wonder what could happen to her right when she might have figured it out she ran right into something tall and very hard. Looking up Kagome met the smiling face of Sugimi blushing because of what he said and what she figured out, Kagome could only mumble an apology quietly.

“Kagome I was just coming to speak with you”
“Oh you don’t say” Kagome answered nervously
“Would you like to take a walk in the gardens with me while we talk?”
“Hai that would be nice”

Sugimi took her hand in his and lead her from the palace into the gardens; Kagome couldn’t believe how nervous she was it was almost worse then taking a huge test at school that you didn’t study for. At first they walked silently just enjoying the gardens and each other company. Sugimi was the first to break the silence.

“Kagome I know what I said before was shocking, but I hope that you do not hold that against me”
“Sugimi-sama I-“
“Sugimi Just Sugimi please Kagome”
“Alright, Sugimi what you said was shocking yes but not unwelcome I just took me by surprise that’s all”
“So you wouldn’t mind if I was to court you?”
“Iie I wouldn’t mind at all”

After that talk Kagome and Sugimi began to laugh about anything and everything they talked about it was like they went back to being best friends again. Sugimi had told Kagome about Naomi and how she told him that she was good for bearing strong sons, Kagome couldn’t help but laugh knowing that she couldn’t even understand why she can’t know that for sure. Yeah Kagome could actually say that and be correct but that doesn’t mean she’s going to tell anyone about it.

Sugimi even told Kagome about his secret power that only he and now she knew about, he also told her about the visions he’s been having about someone called destruction of the circle of life , when Kagome heard that she knew that Sugimi was seeing his future son Sesshomaru in all his glory. Kagome would be the first to admit to wanting to see Sesshomaru as a puppy. ‘Awww he’d have to be a cute little thing makes me want to turn to Sugimi and say mate me now, but I won’t’ Kagome laughed at her self and went back to listening to Sugimi talk. Night had fallen on the pare telling them of the time sighing Sugimi turned to Kagome and gave her a gentle kiss and bid her a good night at her chamber door. Once inside the room Kagome fell on the bed to fit of giggles.

“Yup I’m most defiantly acting like a school girl”

The next morning turned out to shocking for the guest in the palace, at breakfast Sugimi stood and told them to pack up and leave that he has found his mate to be and has begun courting her, when Naomi demanded to know who it was Kagome gracefully stood proudly glaring at the others in a challenge. Lord Katsu wasn’t happy his plains of getting Kagome for himself were gone unless both Sugimi and Kagome agree not to mate.

Sugimi walked Kagome to the dojo where they took their stance to begin their sparing match once again.

“You are not going to win Sugimi”
“Be that as it may Kagome but I will not go down without a damn good fight:
