A/N: Thank you all for the reviews! I really appreciate it! :)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since this question has been asked a lot lately, I decided to make another announcement. The Blood Stained Doujinshi was taken down by the artist. It will not be put back up and it will not be updated ever again. Thank you!

Blood Stained

87. Family Bonding

Mother. His mother.

Kagome blinked once, then twice. This woman was Sesshomaru's mother? She was still alive? She must be at least a thousand years old by now. Then her words suddenly hit her. Wait, wait, wait! 'He doesn't look like a hanyou?' She was talking about Kiyoshi? Her nose twitched. What was that supposed to mean?

"Well, can I hold my grandson?"

Immediately Kagome brought Kiyoshi closer to her chest. "No."

Mizuki's eyes widened but she smiled. "You are your father's son. She is so much like her."

Her? Oh – Izayoi. The tone Sesshomaru's mother used let Kagome know it was not a compliment.

Sesshomaru glared at his mother. "You will not treat her like such." His tone was harsh and he was threatening her.

He remembered how his mother acted with Izayoi. Sesshomaru could not say he was any kinder to the woman but he changed. His mother did not. He saw that when they spoke to each other for hours earlier during the day. He never thought she would be bold enough to actually come to Kagome's house. He should not have underestimated her.

"I already spoke to the girl and I was polite," she defended.

She was talking like Kagome was not standing right beside her causing Kagome to frown. "Why are you here?"

"I wanted to see my son, grandson and… you." She sighed. "Nobody told me about all of this. I had to learn it through gossip."

"Nobody knows!"

"Actually, they do," Sesshomaru interrupted. "It seems as though there were more youkais disguising themselves as humans than we thought in Brazil. The moon marking is very recognizable."

"Oh."

That could be a bad thing if Sesshomaru had enemies. Their trip proved that he did. Well, he only did because he was mated to her, a human, which apparently was the most disgusting thing ever. Five hundred years and people had yet to change.

"I come in peace. I simply wanted to see my family." She turned around, looking at the rest of Kagome's family. "I would like to know you as well, if you'd please invite me in."

Miyu's eyes shifted from the woman to Kagome. Her daughter seemed wary but the woman did seem harmless. Granted she was a youkai but… Miyu was a mother and a grandmother as well. Plus, would Sesshomaru really allow her this close to Kagome and Kiyoshi if she were dangerous?

"Please, come in."

.Kagome said nothing when she felt Sesshomaru come close to her and wrap an arm around her waist. Miyu went ahead first and Mizuki followed her. Souta glared at the back of her head while she walked in front of him. He hated her instantly. She was that asshole's mother after all.

Once everyone was in the house, Kagome spun around and stared at Sesshomaru. "Your mother?"

He sighed. He was not supposed to explain this already. "She came to see me last night and I spoke to her. I thought she would leave."

"Is that why you didn't answer the phone today?"

He would be lying if he said his heart did not flutter at the fact that she did try to reach him. "Yes. I spent half the day with her. What did she say to you when you saw her?"

She shrugged. "She just asked about who I was at the fair with and if Kiyoshi was my son. Nothing really that would make me think she's your mother. How old is she? Are youkais supposed to live that long?"

"My mother is very powerful."

"Can I trust her?"

He nodded. "She will not harm anyone. She is simply… unpleasant to be around."

Sesshomaru did need to establish that he was the one in charge but his mother would not be reckless. Even she knew it was dangerous to mess with an Inuyoukai's chosen one. His father taught her that.

"What did you talk about with her?"

Maybe she was being nosey, maybe it was none of her business but she could not help herself. His mother seemed to dislike humans and it made Kagome uneasy. Sesshomaru and she had yet to establish solid grounds and she did not want anything to shake them up.

"She was merely trying to catch up with me. She acted offended that I did not inform her I had an heir."

"Oh. Are you sure she's not gonna do anything?"

"I will personally assure she does not."

Kagome nodded before leaning into his chest as he guided them to the house. He did his best to hide his feelings. He remembered the night, her scent was invading his nostrils and she felt soft. Her heat was approaching its peek and he wanted her. Her body was screaming at him to take it.

Once they entered the house they found Mizuki sitting down beside Miyu, both of them sipping tea. Kagome's mother did not seem quite comfortable but she remained polite. She was not going to judge Mizuki because of Sesshomaru's actions in the past. The woman was a little strange but Miyu had no idea how she spent her long life and her behavior could easily be explained.

Kagome and Sesshomaru joined them at the table. Kagome made sure to keep Kiyoshi tucked against her which forced Sesshomaru to let go of her. He resisted the urge to whimper and looked down at the table. It was not even about being with her sexually; he simply wanted to lay at night with her cuddled against his body. He wanted her touch.

"Now, I am intrigued. How did you two end up mated?"

Her son did hang around humans about five hundred years ago. Well, one human. "Did it not work out with the little girl I brought back to life?"

"Rin was a daughter, not a mate."

Mizuki arched her two perfect eyebrows and smiled. "Of course. Then what did happen?"

The pounding of Kagome's heart filled her ears and she tried to keep a straight face. . She did not like that story. She did not want to tell that story.

"Are you ill, dear?"

"I'm fine."

"Mother, I have already explained it. Kagome and I ended up mated by accident."

"Mated by accident? That is quite the accident."

"We weren't ourselves," Kagome managed to croak out. It was true for one of them.

"But you are together now, correct? Married, if I remember our conversation from earlier correctly."

Sesshomaru's gaze shifted to Kagome's face as she stared at her hands. She never bothered correcting Mizuki because she never thought she would see her again. "We aren't."

Mizuki glared at her son. "She is human. Did you not honor her the human way?" She shook her head. "My son has no manners."

This woman was a mystery. She seemed to hate humans but then she made statements that confused Kagome. Was she supposed to be nice or a conniving bitch?

"I have offered."

"We're just not ready yet."

Miyu was listening to the conversation but kept completely silent. Apparently, they had no intention of sharing the real story. She would not be the one to tell but it did not stop her from glaring in Sesshomaru's direction every now and then.

"Well of course not," Mizuki began as her fingers wrapped around her cup of tea. "Marriage is serious, much more serious than mating." She sipped away at her beverage as if there was not an ounce of sarcasm in her statement.

"I believe what we do with our lives does not concern you, Mother." This was not his house and Kagome's mother already seemed quite displeased by his presence. He would not make a scene but his mother was making it rather difficult for him to keep his calm.

Kagome shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Not only was she lucky enough to sense everyone's aura but also she was being hit directly with Sesshomaru's feelings. It was overwhelming. Adding that to her own stress made her dizzy.

"Well, at least you know he looks after you. He was guarding the shrine like a good dog last night when I found him."

Immediately, Kagome looked at Sesshomaru puzzled. He was in front of the shrine last night? What was he – oh, she did not know what he was doing there but she knew what she was doing. A blush appeared on her cheeks and she swallowed hard. There were too many sniffing noses for her to stay at this table.

"If you'll excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

Her skin was flushed and felt like it was on fire as she rose to her feet. She handed Kiyoshi to her mother before rushing to the bathroom.

"Mother, I do believe you have overstayed your welcome."

She laughed. "Have I?" She turned to look at Miyu. "I never meant to overstep any boundaries or offend anyone. Sometimes I forget how to interact with humans. I simply wished to see my grandson. If my son had not refused me in the first place…"

Miyu was usually a good judge of character but she could not pin down the woman that sat beside her. Her voice sounded sincere but there was something about her that was off.

"It is your house. I will leave if you wish me gone."

"I think we should wait for Kagome to return." The only reason she allowed Sesshomaru in her house was for her daughter's sake. She was trying, she truly was. Kagome did seem uncomfortable but she wanted to see what she wished to do before making any decisions.

This involved everyone, including Kiyoshi.

Sesshomaru sighed in annoyance. He stood up, offered Miyu a small bow and headed for the bathroom. Once he arrived at his destination, he knocked on the door softly. "Kagome?"

"I'm fine," she replied right away.

He grabbed the handle and tried to open the door. It was locked but he gave it an extra squeeze and the handle turned fully. He looked inside, only to find Kagome leaning against the sink with her head hanging low.

"There are a lot of feelings going on out there."

Sesshomaru took it as his cue to come in. He closed the broken door behind him and leaning against it. He reached out for her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"I apologize for my mother's words. She truly does believe she is being polite."

"Why were you in front of the shrine last night?"

Right. He almost thought she would forget about that. It was not that he was ashamed of what he did but he mostly did not want to embarrass her.

"I had to see you."

He dared to walk closer to her so that he could bury his nose on top of her head. He wrapped his arms around her waist and sighed in contentment.

"I felt what you did."

Kagome's eyes bulged out of their sockets and she blushed. Instinctively, she buried her face in his chest, her hands clenching around the fabric of his shirt. A faint scent of arousal also began to appear. It was an urge she was unable to control.

"I-I-mm." She never thought he would know. She did think about him but she – oh god.

He did not try to stop himself as his mouth dragged down to her ear. "I had to do the same thing," he whispered.

She shivered in his hold while his hands dropped down to her hips. "It's – I mean, it's just because I'm in," she blushed even more, "heat." What was it about that word that made her so shy?

He trailed his lips along the side of her head until he reached her jaw. He nipped at her skin and growled. Her breasts were pressed against his chest, threatening to overflow from the top of her shirt. She was wet for him as he bent down and captured her mouth with his. He ran his tongue over her bottom lip and grazed his fangs against it..

She moaned quietly and his cock pulsed. Without thinking, he grabbed her legs and wrapped them around his waist. She tightened them and he lifted her onto the counter. He felt himself grinding against her core while he attacked her mouth. He remembered last night, he remembered seeing her touch herself.

Sesshomaru wanted to flip her around and give her what she needed. He was already panting and out of breath. He was holding himself back. He wanted to touch her whole body at once and he wanted to make her dizzy with lust but he had to be slow, so slow. They only shared two experiences together; he could not rush her. If he scared her away he would never forgive himself.

But she smelled so good and she was so willing in his arms.

He had to let go.

He backed away from Kagome leaving her legs hanging from the counter. Her lips were swollen when she raised her head to look at him. He didn't give her an answer before leaving the bathroom in a hurry.

Kagome ran her hand over her lips and jumped off the counter. What just happened?

She tried to go after him but she was stopped. The moment she opened the bathroom door, Mizuki stood in her way.

"How long do you plan on making him suffer?" she questioned with an accusing tone.

"Excuse me?"

"I am no fool. My son is not one with himself."

Could she feel Sesshomaru's beast or did Sesshomaru tell her?

"How could he be? He must hold himself back around you at all time." Her son gave her vague answers all morning, mostly telling her to mind her own business. Who did he take her for? She knew more than he gave her credit for..

Kagome frowned. "No he doesn't. I never asked anything of him."

Mizuki scoffed, although it sounded like a chuckle. "Child, what is he supposed to do? You're terrified of the real him. If he does not pretend, he will lose you."

Mizuki did not know why Kagome was terrified. They seemed rather happy together and it seemed they had chemistry. Why did she not trust him?

"Pretend what?"

"Do you know so little about Inuyoukais? Why did you even mate him?" They were lying to her, straight to her face. She would play their little games because it was fun to pretend she did not know. "We are dominant, rough creatures. He is nothing but a docile dog for you. He does not even impose his status of alpha."

Dominant? That was what his beast was.

Memories flashed through her mind and his beast's words echoed in her mind.That's it, come for your alpha. Submit to me! Why won't you submit to your alpha?

Sesshomaru was not like that, he was kind and slow and… She inhaled deeply. Did he want to be rough? Not bad rough, she was sure, but rougher than he was? Did he want to take her? Did he feel those urges?

"You know I am right, dear. You have seen my son, you have seen the other one, the half breed. We are not like this. He suffers. He misses your touch. Do you not notice how he tries to touch you? Why do you push him away, why do you not feel his needs?"

No, no, no! She talked to Sesshomaru; they agreed to be honest with each other. He told her he only wanted her and her happiness even when she told him he could want whatever he wanted. He would have told her if he was unhappy! She would not have pushed him away. But then – why did he leave just now?

"It's complicated. You don't know what happened. But I'm not trying to make him unhappy. I love him."

"Then let him go. You are not made for each other," she warned.

Before Kagome had a chance to reply, Mizuki walked away. Her words burned through her mind and Kagome felt tears come to her eyes.

After everything Sesshomaru and her went through… if it did not work out… what would be the point?

-B-

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let her in."

Miyu stroke her daughter's hair as she lay in her bed. Kagome was trying not to cry. She knew something was wrong the moment Mizuki returned to the table.

"No, it was the right thing to do."

Clearly Sesshomaru's mother was persistent. If she was willing to track her down at the festival, she would have come around regardless.

"I'm just tired," she mumbled with her face stuffed in her pillow.

Miyu pressed a kiss on the side of Kagome's head and got up. She quickly checked on Kiyoshi before leaving the room and turning the light off.

Sesshomaru was no better than his mother. He left without saying a word and Miyu knew it was a part of the reason why Kagome was so upset. She did not meddle and she would not ask. If Kagome wanted her to know, she would tell her.

Kagome sighed as she flipped on her back. Did she not repetitively ask Sesshomaru if he was okay? She needed him to voice his opinion. He could not do this forever. Her happiness was not worth his. It was scary, she would not lie. Every time she thought about dominant and rough, she thought about his beast.

What if Mizuki was right? What if it was a part of Sesshomaru? Maybe it was part of him merging back with his beast; he was regaining his instincts.

She vividly remembered the way he picked her up and suddenly pushed her against the mirror as he sat her down on the counter. That was not bad. Actually it made her insides melt and her arousal grow. Maybe dominant just meant that he wanted to assert his desires better.

Not too long ago, they had this exact conversation. She told him to tell her whatever was on his mind. Why wasn't he doing that?

Discouraged, Kagome reached for the phone. She dialed his number and waited while the phone rang One ring, two rings, three rings… after the sixth she sighed. Maybe he never returned to his hotel room?

"Kagome?"

At the sound of his voice, her heart skipped. "Sesshomaru, I – can you come over?"

Silence. Maybe this was a bad idea. "I'm so-"

"I'm on my way."

Everyone was here and her mother was probably not asleep yet.

"Just come inside."

Click. He did not say goodbye.

She sat up in her bed and crossed her legs to wait for him. Would he walk? Would he use his speed? It was night and nobody would see him. Though the question was, was Sesshomaru in a hurry to get to her?

Her answer came fairly quickly when a few seconds later a gush of wind manifested itself in her room. He stood in front of her in a white t-shirt and black pants.

"Why did you leave earlier?"

Sesshomaru watched her carefully. Her legs were pressed against her chest and her arms were wrapped around her knees. She was hurt, he could smell it.

"The situation and location were not appropriate."

"Your mother says you're not being yourself."

His eyebrow twitched. What did she do? "I am myself."

"She says you think you're going to scare me away if you're…" she paused and swallowed hard. "Dominant. She says you want to be my alpha, but you're too scared of losing me."

He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. Her eyes were locked on him and he knew he had to answer. What was he supposed to tell her? He was happy; he had no problem with their current situation. Yes, Inuyoukais were dominant by nature but… dominance only brought pain to Kagome. He would never do that to her again. The stronger their bond became, the more he wanted to be with her but he would not be that.

"I only want to be with you."

Kagome rose to her knees and tilted forward to put her hands on his chest. "Sesshomaru, tell me the truth. If you say she's wrong, then okay. But don't lie to me. We agreed we were going to make this work. I don't want you always holding yourself back. I don't want you doing everything I want. If you tell me, we can work on it."

Her frustration transferred to him and he began to feel uneasy. "You are letting my mother do exactly as she wants. She wants you to doubt me."

"What did you talk about? Did you tell her about your beast?"

He shook his head.

"She knew."

"My mother does not believe a human-youkai bond is strong. She is trying to prove a point and you are letting her win."

Kagome clenched her fingers around his shoulders. "But do you feel that way? Do you need my touch? Have you been feeling lonely?"

Of course he had. That was only natural. She was his family, she was his mate, his everything. "I do not believe that me missing you makes her right."

Mate is not happy. Mate is scared. We are no good for her.

He ignored the voice echoing in his mind and instead, gently stroked her hair. "I do not need anything else."

"I want you to be happy too, not just me." She said she would stay with him and be with him despite his beast, she said they would deal with it. His happiness was also important to her.

"I am happy."

You are, but only because you are selfish. Can't you feel her distress? She is not happy, she is miserable. She worries for you. Why do you make her worry for you?

"Shut up."

It slipped him; he never meant to say it out loud.

She stared at him with concern dancing across her face.. She brought a hand to his cheeks and cupped it. "What's going on Sesshomaru?"

He leaned forward and pressed his forehead against hers. "He doesn't want you."

"He? – It?"

He nodded. "He says I'll make you miserable, that if I love you I have to let you go."

For a moment, her heart stopped beating. His mother said the same exact thing. She pressed her nose to his, her breath tickling his skin. "That's not true. You don't make me miserable."

She did not comment on the fact that his beast was making its presence known. She did not even want to deal with it right now. Why was it being so selfish? Did it not spend all that time wanting her, taking her? Now it wanted to toss her away?

"We don't have to listen to them, okay?"

"Them?"

"Your – your mother said that if I loved you, I should let you go. That we weren't meant for each other."

He growled low. He raised a hand and wrapped his fingers around her wrist, gently holding it. He buried his face in her neck and whimpered. Her mother hated him, so did her brother. His beast wanted to set her free and his mother was trying to stir trouble. Why was everyone trying to take her away from him? She was his.

She wanted to be his.

Now she is sad for you. Why do you make her sad?

He shook his head, his lips brushing against her throat. He released her wrists and wrapped his arms tightly around her. He felt like he was losing her and it was terrifying.

"This is hard for you, isn't it?" she whispered.

No lies. "The bond – it is stronger for me. I feel it." She did not know when he was pleasuring himself he thought of her. She did not feel his unbearable need for her. He was the one inflicted with all of those emotions.

"I'm sorry."

He always re-assured her when she needed it but she never returned the favor. He looked like a hopeless little puppy holding on to her.

She lifted her body, forcing his head in the valley of her breasts. He looked up at her and she smiled. She pushed her hips forward, pressing them against his sturdy chest seductively. His breath caught in his throat and he refused to look away from her eyes. Did she not know that she did not have to try? That he wanted her no matter what?

Unfortunately, his urges were as high and unpredictable as they were when they made out in the bathroom. There was a reason why he left.

"Kagome," he began.

She put a finger to his lips. "No."

He made her feel better and now he was in pain. She would help him. She was not doing anything she did not want to do. Also, she would be lying if she said she did not want this. Her night of fun was not as satisfying as she hoped. All they had to do was be careful.

She crashed her lips against his and he immediately returned the kiss. His hands tangled with her hair, bringing her head closer. His tongue invaded her mouth and she moaned. His fingers quickly trailed down her back and fumbled with the fabric of her shirt. He used his hold on her to lay her down on the bed before releasing her mouth.

His lips quickly found the top of her breasts and he nibbled. Kagome squirmed under him and she ran her fingers lightly down his chest. A puddle of warmth was already forming between her legs and she involuntarily rocked her hips. He groaned at the contact and imitated her actions.

Show her what you want. Show her why we are wrong for her.

Will you cease this non sense? You love her. She wants us.

His beast was beginning to drive him crazy. Kagome was the one who started this, the one who wanted him. Why did he have to ruin it?

He guided his hands to the hem of her shirt and then looked at her for permission. She smiled and he lifted the clothing above her head, leaving her in her white bra. He ran his fingers across the smooth, creamy skin of her stomach and growled. Beautiful. She giggled; his sounds making her stomach vibrate.

She's happy.

Sesshomaru trapped her body between his legs as he laid over her. Her tiny fingers began to slide under his shirt to caress his warm flesh. Her nails were grazing his skin and he felt his erection grow larger. It was pressing painfully against his pants and begging for a release.

He did not know about her but his actions last night only left him more frustrated. Walking away from her earlier did not help either. Now she was pinned under him asking for more. He could not leave, she would not let him. Her long legs were wrapped around him, squeezing him and trapping him. He lapped at her neck, tasting her skin as his hand was softly caressing her breasts. She was arching her back and moaning.

"Kagome," he said between kisses. "This is your mother's home. Everyone is here."

He did not need her mother finding him tangled up with her daughter.

"Everyone's in their room," she said breathless.

He smiled despite his intention of keeping a straight face. "I have not known you to be quiet."

A blush covered her entire face and she avoided his gaze. "I – I'm not that loud."

He rested his arms against the bed and lifted himself up. "You are. You should ask our old neighbors."

She smacked his arm. "I am not." So, she made a few sounds, who didn't?

He wanted to tell her he did not want her to be quiet. He wanted to hear her, he wanted her to moan for him and to scream his name. Unfortunately, in the current situation it would mean stopping. If they were to keep going… it would have to go undetected by the people living in the house.

"If your mother -"

"You'll know if she's coming."

Now that he was more aware of his surroundings, he did feel slightly uncomfortable. It felt wrong to take her here.

Kagome did not feel the same since she nuzzled her head under his chin, urging him to continue. She missed him too, even if it was just his presence. He worried for her and he felt pain because of her. Things were not settled yet but she did not want him scared of losing her. He did not do anything to cause that.

If she wanted him to voice his opinions and be more forward she had to do the same.

"Do you want me?" she asked innocently.

She was not even trying to tease him; she was being serious.

He opened his mouth to answer but she was not done speaking. "Does it hurt?"

Sesshomaru took hold of her wrist with his hand and brought it to his mouth so that he could kiss the inside of her palm. "You bring me no pain."

She wound her fingers around his shirt and tried to lift it. He raised his arms to help her and then pressed his bare chest against hers. He would make her forget the foolish things his mother said. He would keep that woman away from her.

He lowered his fingers until he found the button for her pants and snapped it open. Her zipper was quickly taken care of and before she knew it, her pants were coming off. He tossed them on the ground before running his fingers down her thighs to grip her flesh. He missed her.

Kagome rolled her hips as she felt heat travel through her body. Her heart was pounding and his fingers were sending chills down her spine. "Off," she managed to whisper.

He looked at her slightly confused until she pointed at his pants. Both times she was completely naked before he even began to undress himself. Not this time.

Sesshomaru was pleased to obey and quickly got rid of his pants. He repositioned himself but this time he trapped her between his legs. He buried his nose on her stomach, inhaling her divine scent before tasting her skin. His erection was now obvious through his boxer and Kagome was made very aware of it when he pressed it against her clothed core.

Immediately, her womanhood became drenched. His nose did not fail to inform him of that detail and he pushed into her one more time. His hands made their way to the bra and he quickly undid it and watched as her breasts were revealed to him. They were still large and heavy with milk. He carefully kneaded the sensitive flesh. He suckled her nipples while she squirmed underneath him.

"Sesshou," she moaned.

He whispered a shush against her breast before he continued nibbling.

As much as he was dying to hear her say his name in pleasure, he was not going to risk it. While he focused all of his attention on her breasts, Kagome wriggled her legs free. She tried to warp her legs around his waist but each time, her foot kept sliding. Her attempts caused his underwear to be dragged down until his length broke free.

He hissed at the contact of his cock against her wet panties and he found himself breathless. If he pushed, just a bit more, it would go in regardless of her panties.

Sesshomaru was reaching out for her underwear, ready to take it off when two little hands on his arms stopped him. "Wait," she panted.

She tried to look away in an attempt to hide the red blush on her face. She knew of one thing that was satisfying for her, one thing that he actually somewhat expressed he liked. She did not mind it, so why not? Her core was throbbing with need and her body was on fire. She pulled herself away from him and from that point on he watched all of her movements very carefully.

Kagome removed her own panties before taking a deep breath. She could not believe she was the one initiating this. Her heart was beating so fast that it hurt. She clumsily positioned herself on all fours giving him quite the view, before turning back to look at him.

"L-like this."

He never meant to share with her that he wanted that but his thoughts connected with hers. They had tried it and nothing bad happened. She enjoyed it. Now however, she felt like her face was on fire and it was taking everything she had to look in his direction. This was not supposed to be uncomfortable. They were growing accustomed to each other's presence… would it ever be easier?

Sesshomaru wanted to move, he really did, but he was frozen in place. She was right there in front of him with her ass up in the air and her glistening core shoved in his face, begging for him. He would have taken her any way he did not care. But this, it made a roar rumble through his chest and without thinking; he sank his claws into the bed beneath him.

She was offering herself to him so willingly that it hurt.

Kagome watched him stay like a statue and she swallowed hard. Did she do something bad? Was this a bad idea after all?

"Se-sshomaru?" she tried, her voice shaking.

He clenched his jaw, cursing at himself mentally. He wanted her to know how perfect this was and he certainly did not want her to feel bad about it.

Sesshomaru lowered himself on the bed and crawled in the direction of her body. Once she felt his hands caressing their way up to her rear, she turned her head to stare right ahead. They did do this position before but they did not start that way.

His large body covered her, his chest against her back while he whispered in her ear. "Are you sure?" He just – he needed to make sure she was comfortable but he did not think he could handle it if she changed her mind. He was not inside of her yet and he was ready to finish.

She nodded while his arms found their way around her waist. He rested his head on her shoulder and pressed kisses on her flesh. He raised his hips higher and dragged his erection along her core, trying to find the entrance. He did not want to let go of her, he wanted to hold her tight. Finally, the tip of cock touched her dripping womanhood and he groaned.

Slowly, he thrust in her.

Kagome silently gasped as he filled her and stretched her. She tried to breathe but she could not, instead, she dragged her nails along the sheets. Once he was fully inside, he stopped to enjoy the feeling. So warm, so wet… so fertile. He threw his head back before grabbing hold of her hips. Then, he pulled himself out only to push back in roughly.

Her knees buckled and she did her best to keep her lips tightly shut. Quiet, quiet, she kept repeating to herself. Sesshomaru was trying to keep a pleasing pace but with the way her ass was smacking against him it was becoming rather difficult. His hands were sliding, almost resting on her behind. He wanted to squeeze the flesh but instead he only caressed it.

Kagome was moaning and he knew he should try to keep her quiet but he did not want to. He missed the way she said his name in the midst of passion. She was tightening around him, moving her hips out of her own accord.

"Sesshoma-ru."

He felt like a bubble of lust was surrounding them. Every pulse of pleasure she felt, he experienced as well. The dizzier with desire she became, the more he felt himself slipping away.

This was much better than his hand.

He was not even aware of the damages he was inflicting on her pillows with his claws. All he felt was her tight, warm sheath squeezing him.

And her mother.

Her mother.

"Ka-gome." It came out more like a groan than a warning.

"Ugn."

"You-r mother."

Her eyes snapped open and she stiffened. A few more seconds went by and this time she could hear the footsteps.

All Sesshomaru could think about was how he was not leaving her insides. No, not when he was this riled up. His eyes snapped in the direction of the door of her personal bathroom. Using all his restraint and speed, he moved them to the other room. Kagome's stomach made a smacking sound as it hit the wall. She was trapped between Sesshomaru and the wall with his long length still deep inside of her.

They were both holding their breaths as the door of her bedroom opened. "Kagome?" her mother said softly.

As Kagome grew nervous, she unconsciously squeezed down tightly around him and he held back a groan. The problem was that she was not letting go. He was pulsing inside of her, enjoying her sweet torture. He wanted to move, he had to move.

She had her head pressed to the door, listening.

"Kagome?" her mother tried again.

She was going to have to say something… "I'm in the bathroom."

Silence. "Is something wrong?" Kagome dared to ask.

"No, I just – I wanted to make sure you were okay. I heard noises."

"I'm f-fine." Her eyes widened as she felt Sesshomaru slowly move inside of her.

He did not mean to but damn it, she would not stop squeezing. He felt ready to explode.

"Okay, goodnight then."

"Go-od night."

Miyu was about to leave when suddenly a white shirt on the floor caught her eye. That was not Kagome's. Her eyes trailed further up until she noticed more clothes on the bed along with clawed pillows. She looked at the bathroom door and sighed.

She would not… intervene but she did not approve.

She closed the door behind her, walking down the hall with a longing look in her eyes. Uneasiness swirled through her and she felt she was not going to get much rest tonight.

Meanwhile, not far away, just outside the shrine, Mizuki was having a different reaction.

Hn. This girl was stubborn.
