Mending a broken heart

It had been three days since Kagome left the castle and she was enjoying her time with the wolf tribe. She was having fun playing with the pups when a few boys came up and asked Riku, Yoshi and Ichigo if they wanted to play with them. They took off leaving Kagome and Sakura alone. Kagome noticed Sakura's sad face.

"Sakura what's wrong?" She asked.

"I wish I had friends to play with like them. We were all going to play one day when daddy told me I couldn't play with them. They've ignored me ever since and only want to play with my brothers."

"Now why would he do a thing like that?"

"He said I would get hurt because they play too rough."

"He's such an idiot!" Kagome said rolling her eyes.

Sakura giggled. "That's what mommy says too. Ichigo is the only one who really plays with me."

"Ichigo is a sweet boy and always thinks of others before himself." Kagome said smiling.

"Yep! He's my nicest brother. Yoshi and Riku are snobs like daddy. My mommy said so."

Kagome laughed. "Hey can I tell you a secret?"

"What secret?" Sakura asked in curiousity.

"Daddy's always treat their little girls different then their boys. They're very protective of them. They feel that since boys are male, they can protect themselves while the females need their protection."

"You mean like a mate does? I know daddy always protects mommy."

"Yeah it's something like that."

"Oh." Sakura said.

"Listen, I'm sure some of the other little girls would love to play with you. All you have to do is ask them. I know you're shy but you should at least try."

"Ok. I'll try. You know what? I'm glad you're my aunt." She hugged Kagome and kissed her on the cheek before yawning.

"Are you tired?"

"Yeah I'm getting sleepy. Can you carry me?"

Kagome smiled. "Sure Sakura." Sakura was already asleep by the time they got to the den. Ayame smiled as she took her from Kagome. Kagome sighed longingly as she watched Ayame tuck Sakura in.

"I wish I had a pup of my own."

"Perhaps one day you will." Said a voice from behind her. She spun around and there stood her prince charming.

"Oh Sesshomaru! I missed you so much! I promise to never leave again!" She said as she ran to him and threw her arms around him.

"I've missed you as well my sweet Kagome." He said burying his nose in her hair and breathing in her scent. He kissed her temple and then nuzzled her neck.

"It's only been a few days since you've left but it's felt like an eternity to me. Please don't run away again. I know I said that if you ever got upset with me that you could return to your home but I never thought you would do it. I decided to go and get you but when I got there and you weren't there I got worried. I spent the night there hoping you'd come but when you still hadn't showed up the next day I paniced. I went to visit your friends and they told me to come here. I've never been so worried in my life." He said caressing her cheek.

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru. I never meant to cause you to worry." She said touching his face before kissing him. When they heard someone clear their throat they pulled away from each other. They had forgotten they weren't alone.

"Come walk with me. This Sesshomaru needs to speak with you love." He said grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the den.

They walked in silence for a few minuets until they stopped on top of the hill under the sakura tree. He turned towards her and brought her hands to his lips and kissed them.

"Kagome, I must speak with you about what I said the other day." He said. He explained to her what being a bitch to an inu meant.

"I'm sorry. I forgot that humans don't understand our ways. I should have explained sooner instead of just asuming you knew."

Kagome blushed in embarrassment. "Boy do I feel stupid now. Sorry I overreacted but next time please explain things to me instead of just asuming I know what you're talking about."

"Alright." He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She felt herself warm underneath his gaze. She could see the love and desire in his eyes. Her heart sped up as he slowly leaned down to kiss her. At first the kiss was sweet and gentle before it became passionate. When Sesshomaru pulled her up against him she could feel his obvious arousal. She gasped as he grinded against her. Sesshomaru used this to his advantage as he slid his tongue into her mouth and tangled his tongue with hers. He growled and pulled away panting.

"We must stop this before I take you where we stand." Sesshomaru growled as his eyes began to bleed red.

She placed her arms around his neck. "Then take me home so you can take me there." She whispered.

"Kagome are you sure? We can wait for the celebration first." He asked. Secretly hoping she would forget all about the celebration.

"Yes I'm sure."

Sesshomaru smiled before he began kissing her hungrily as he formed his demonic cloud under them. Through the whole encounter they hadn't realized they were being watched. Kouga and Ayame stood at the entrance of their den watching them smiling. Kouga wrapped his arm around Ayame.

"Soemthing tells me that they aren't going to make it to the celebration before he mates her." Ayame smiled at the couple who were still kissing and touching one another as they flew away.

Kouga laughed. "I wouldn't be surprised if we see a little Sesshomaru and Kagome running around soon." He looked at his mate and smirked. "Speaking of wich, why don't we have another pup. Let's beat them to it."

Ayame playfully slapped his chest. "No way Kouga! Four little five year olds are enough for me right now."

"Please! You know I wanna have a den full of pups Ayame. Besides, we have Ginta and Hokaku to help us."

"Yeah right. Some help they are. More like the pups take care of them. Those two are worthless." She said rolling her eyes. When she saw him pouting she sighed.

"Ok Kouga. You win. But we won't have any until Kagome has a pup."

He sighed. "Ok it's a deal. But as soon as she has one, it's our turn."

Ayame rolled her eyes as he wiggled his eyebrows. "Idiot!"

Meanwhile as they were having their debate about having more pups, Sesshomaru and Kagome were still on their way home locked in a kiss on Sesshomaru's cloud. He pulled away for a second.

"Kagome, do you really want to be my mate?"

"Yes I do."

"Are you sure? Like I said mates are for life."

"Sesshomaru, I said yes." She said giggling.

"Would you mind having my pups? Remember what I told you now. We could have more than one at a time and your pregnancy would only last two months."

"Yes Sesshomaru, I know." She said smiling.

He smiled. "Then I will make you mine tonight. If we're lucky you'll be pupped by the end of the night."

She smiled as she pulled his face down to hers and began kissing him again. A few minuets later she could feel them begining to descend.

"We have arrived." He whispered as he picked her up bridal style.

The guards opened the gates for them. They smiled knowingly when they saw the couple. They were going to tell Sesshomaru that his mother had arrived the day before so she could meet her son's intended but it would have to wait until later. They could tell that their lord had other things on his mind.
