A Concert?


Chapter 6: Important Talks


~~Once back at the shrine~~


“Kagome, my love, are you okay with the fact that I kissed you?”

“Sesshomaru, if I was not fine with it, you would not have kissed me, nor would I have kissed back. But, I really thought you hated all humans besides Rin.”

“It is true that I hate most humans, but I respect you and the rest of this group.”

“Even your brother?”

“Hai, even the hanyou.”

“Then why do you attack us all the time?”

“To train him in my own way, I doubt he would accept my help if I offered it. And I had promised our father that I would look after him before he passed.”

“Wow, that is really cool. Sesshomaru, I know this is a subject change, but I want to ask you anyway.”

“Anything your heart desires, I will try to answer.”, Sesshomaru said as calmly as he could.

“Why did you want to kiss me, a lowly ningen?”

“Because as I have stated before, I find you worthy and very desirable to this Sesshomaru. I have cared about you for a while and it was you who made me not hate ningens so much. You showed me that not all of them were weak and below me.”

“Sesshomaru, what are you saying?”, Kagome asked, almost afraid of the answer.

“I love you, Kagome Higurashi. I desire you and wish for you to consider being my mate for all time.”

“Are you serious?”

“Hai, my beloved.”

“Sesshomaru, this is very big for me, please allow me some time to think on what has been said. I will answer you as soon as I know.”, Kagome said with her voice breaking some from total shock.

“Hai.”

The whole time, Inuyasha had been eavesdropping and even he was in shock, first by the fact that all the times he and his brother had fought, it was his way of training, then by his confession of love to Kagome. Inuyasha was feeling a great sense of loss even though he had begun to think of him and Kagome as very close friends and also in a brother-sister kind of way. He knew that he loved Kikyo, but he also thought that he would never be truly loved back by anyone.


~~Later that night~~


“Sesshomaru, I want to have a word with you.”

“As you wish, hanyou.” With that, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha went out to the God Tree to speak privately. Both jumped high into the tree and could very plainly see into Kagome’s room where she and the kids were playing together.

“What do you wish to speak of Inuyasha?”

“Did you mean what you said to her earlier?”

“Hai.”

“You better take care of her my brother.”

When Inuyasha said that, Sesshomaru looked at him with his eyebrow raised in slight shock.

“I want to know more about our father if you are willing to tell me, and we no longer need to fight to train. If you wish to train me, I will willingly as long as you ask.”

“Inuyasha, how much did you hear??”

“All of what you said earlier to her.”

“Sou ka.”

“Sesshomaru, it is no secret that I have loved her, but it has become a very close friendship, maybe even as a brother loves a sister, and I swear to you that if you hurt her, I will kill you.”

“I will never willingly hurt her Inuyasha, she is the mate of my heart and soul.”

“I see, well just take good care of her, I will still be there to protect her as I can, I do not want to lose my friendship with her ever.”

“Agreed.”

“Sesshomaru, what about the other subject?”

“You mean our father.”

“Hai.”

“One day, I will try to answer all questions I can.”

“Arigato.”

With that said, the two brothers sat in a somewhat comfortable silence. After about an hour passed of the brothers staring at the moon together, Kagome appeared at the bottom of the tree.

“I am happy to see you two not fighting for once, but is everything okay?”

“Feh, of course it is.”, Inuyasha replied quickly.

“Hai, koi.”

“Well, okay, but it is time for dinner, we have ramen for you Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha jumped down then, hugged Kagome and whispered in her ear, “Go follow your heart Kags, he truly loves you and I want you two happy.” Kagome blushed a light pink and looked up at her Sesshomaru, the one that her heart had chosen. Sesshomaru wondered what Inuyasha had said, for it was to soft for even his demon hearing to pick up. He jumped gracefully down beside Kagome once Inuyasha dashed inside.

“What did he say to you?”

“Just a lil advice and something I really needed to hear.”

“Will you not tell this Sesshomaru?”

“I’ll show you.” Kagome timidly stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arm around Sesshomaru’s neck. Tugging lightly, she got him to lower his face to hers. She then placed her lips over his and shyly kissed him, while trying to convey her feelings to him. Sesshomaru was shocked at first, but quickly overcame his shock to join in the kiss. As Kagome got a little bolder, she tried to deepen the kiss and Sesshomaru knew what she was trying to say. He picked her up gently and tilted her head back slightly so that he would have better access to her mouth. Kagome ghosted her tongue over the slight parting of his lips asking to be let in, and in her own way try to let Sesshomaru know her feelings for him. He granted entry with a slight groan of pleasure of his own. Kagome slowly let her tongue taste and explore his mouth while battling for dominance with Sesshomaru’s tongue. As she roamed his mouth, she felt shivers of pleasure run up and down her spine. The kiss lasted until they both had to part for air. Kagome blushed an even deeper red than before and even Sesshomaru was slightly flushed.

“Koi, are you trying to say that you will accept this Sesshomaru?”

“This Kagome accepts, but asks that you be gentle and slow with me and explain everything involved with demon mating before we do that part.”

“I, Sesshomaru Taisho, Lord of the Western Lands, so promises to do all in his power to always make you happy and protected you from all dangers. And yes, I will explain all to you, if you will explain your ningen ways as well.”

“Deal, now lets go to supper, I’m hungry.”

Sesshomaru and Kagome walked to the house with identical smiles on their faces, but both stopped smiling just before entering the kitchen, Sesshomaru because it was not like him, and Kagome because she wanted the fact that she was going to court Sesshomaru to be a surprise.

After dinner, everyone got ready for bed, because tomorrow was the day of the concert. Kagome, Sesshomaru, Rin and Shippo all shared Kagome’s room because they all wanted to be together. After Kagome got the kids asleep on her bed from reading a story and softly singing to them, her and Sesshomaru laid down on her floor on top of a comforter that her mama brought in. As Kagome looked at Sesshomaru’s relaxed form, only one word came to mind, ‘Mine’.

~Outside in the yard~


Kouga and Ayame were in a slight disagreement. Ayame was slightly envious over that fact that Kagome was going on a date and wanted to go on one with Kouga.

"Woman, that is not our way of doing shit."

"But we want to learn how things are here don't we.", Ayame whined to Kouga.

"Well, sure we wanna learn, but how the hell am i supposed to know what to do and how to pay?", Kouga demanded.

"Ask Kagome to explain it to you baka!", Ayame yelled back at her mate.

"Bitch, CALM DOWN!!!!", yelled Kouga loudly.

Kagome and Sesshomaru jumped out of her window to see what was wrong before they woke up the kids and the rest of the house. What they saw upset Kagome greatly, Kouga had his foot on Ayame's neck. Kagome rushed forward to push Kouga off of his mate. Before she made it to them though, Sesshomaru had already thrown Kouga into a nearby tree. Kagome helped Ayame up and sent some of her healing energy into Ayame's neck so that she could breathe easier. Once Ayame was tended to, Kagome turned a furious glare onto Kouga.

"How....Dare....You!", Kagome said slowly and full of fury.

"What do you mean Kagome?", Kouga asked innocently.

"You do NOT treat a lady like that Kouga.", Kagome yelled furiously.

"Kouga, I love you but I will not be abused any longer by you.", Ayame cried.

"Sesshomaru, if we get together, will it be like this for us? A disagreement between us and I get this kind of treatment??", Kagome asked sadly quiet.

"Kagome do not compare me to this filth of a wolf. No woman, ningen or youkai deserves that kinda shows of dominance.", Sesshomaru replied with a calm tone. Although he replied calmly, he was anything but calm. He was shocked that Kagome would question his control and he was furious at the wolf for his lack of control towards his own mate. Kagome quietly took a crying Ayame's hand and led her into the house. When she got into the kitchen, her mom and Kikyo were already making some tea to soothe nerves. Kikyo saw the worry in Kagome's eyes and felt the fear pouring out of her aura. Looking quickly to Hitomi to make sure she would tend to Ayame, Kikyo pulled Kagome to her room to speak with her.

"Kagome, what are you fearing?"

"That if Sesshomaru and I get together as mates and we have a disagreement, will he treat me as Kouga treated Ayame tonight?"

"Kagome, wolves and inus solve disagreements differently. Alpha male wolves often show dominance with physical violence, but Alpha male inus are more understanding to their mates wants and needs. With inus, disagreements between mates rarely come to mistreatment of a mate.", Kikyo stated knowingly.

"Demo, I'm so scared that it might. There were plenty of times that Inuyasha would have hurt me if not for the beads around his neck."

"Mmm, I dunno what to tell you that would settle your fears, but I can suggest that you relax and see where things go. Do not let this fear control you or stop you from following your heart. You will see for yourself that he will not harm you.", replied Kikyo.

"Arigato Kikyo, i really appreciate it."

With that, Kagome fell into a troubled sleep while waiting for her demon to return to her side.


~Meanwhile outside with Kouga and Sesshomaru~


Sesshomaru threw Kouga into the ground again and stood above him menacingly. He was determined to teach the wolf a lesson in the proper way to treat a mate even if he killed him to teach it to him. He had already been thrown into five different trees and onto the ground countless times. Ayame came outside in time to see her mate thrown onto the ground yet again by the enraged taiyoukai.

"Sesshomaru-sama, onegai stop.", Ayame cried.

"Ayame-san, he has hurt you and in doing so, hurt my mate-to-be. This can not go unanswered by me.", Sesshomaru all but snarled while glaring at Kouga.

"Hai, but it was my fault for the fight, I was envious of your upcoming date with Kagome."

"Nani?"

"Hai, I was asking Kouga why we could not do something similar between him and I."

"And what would stop you.", Sesshomaru asked curiously

"One reason is that it really is not our way, but the other is the fact we have no money to do it.", Ayame answered ashamedly.

Sesshomaru released Kouga from his stranglehold and turned to Ayame. "Sou ka, but that was no reason for him to treat you the way he did."

"Ayame, I am sorry.", Kouga finally squeaked out.

"Do not ever treat her that way again wolf. If it happens again, you will not live to regret it.", Sesshomaru commanded coldly

"Hai, my Lord." Both Kouga and Ayame bowed deeply to Sesshomaru before walking back to their tent to talk quietly.

Sesshomaru entered the house and as he passed the kitchen, Hitomi called to him. She had already poured him a cup of tea and he could tell she wanted to talk to him. It suited him fine because he wanted to talk to her as well.

"Sesshomaru, would you ever treat Kagome like that?", Hitomi asked worriedly.

"I would die first, inus do not settle arguments in such a manner."

"Thank kami for that."

"Higurashi-san?"

"Call me Hitomi, Sesshomaru-sama."

"Hitomi, would you mind giving Kouga and Ayame some of that money so that they may go on a date as well. That is what their battle was about."

"Something that trivial caused him to hurt her like that.", Hitomi said with shock and disgust.

"Hai."

"Here you go, Sesshomaru-sama.", Hitomi handed Sesshomaru one hundred dollars for the couple. "Kagome is already back in her room and I think you both need to talk in the morning about this."

"I intend for us to talk as well, goodnight Hitomi."
