Minor Note: I have had a few emails about Shiori. In this she is 15 and Inu is not a pedo!

Recap: (Inutaisho-Heaven)

The Dog General smiled down at the scene unfolding. Kagome was just the girl Sesshomaru needed, he was sure of it. Also she was highly amusing. He was currently watching the houshi and taijya as they repiled Sesshomarus' desk with scrolls for Inuyasha to take care of.

He wanted to thank Kagome for making Inuyasha take on the responsibility that she had charged him with. For Inuyasha had learned to have a little respect and had gotten an insight on his brothers' life. He finally knew a bit about Sesshomaru and felt bad for him.

He also wanted to thank Shiori for her wisdom she imparted upon Inuyasha. She was perfect for him. She was the Yin to his Yang.

Inutaisho took another look in on his eldest and laughed heartily. He had never seen his eldest have a nosebleed because he saw a woman. He continued to watch and that this is going to be good.

(Meanwhile)

The Higurashi household was being turned upside down, there was boxes and crates on the shrine grounds, in the house were more boxes and more to come. Higurashi-san was not happy. For when Kagome had returned from her outing with her demon prince; she had been on the phone placing orders for special pet supplies and special water for her house guests.

However she put on a smile and laughed at the chaos that was brought down upon her daughter from the boxes and shipping orders that had to be signed to recieve all that she had purchased for her little prince. She wondered if he appreciated all the trouble.

Higurashi-san worked her way slowly to the chair in the family room where Sesshomaru had seated himself to watch the goings on and to keep an eye on Rin and Kagome. It looked like he did not trust the workers around his girls and when one said worker got a little to friendly with Rin, said worker left with a very big hole in the crotch of his pants.

"Looks like my daughter will be in good hands for he does not have a problem demasculating any male that shows any kind of interest in any form at all." thought Higurashi-san

When she had reached the puppy she didn't bow or anything; she picked him up and placed him in her lap. Sesshomaru had went stiff in her arms, he was a little shocked at her action.

"Young lord, I hope you appreciate all that my daughter is doing for you. She really loves you with all her heart." said Higurashi-san.

"I do. I like her." he yipped.

He nodded at her.

"Good, atleast you know. I mean Inuyasha had known and he would break her heart. I hope you don't hurt her." she whispered.

He nodded.

"I could never hurt her. She is to be my mate." he yipped.

He shared the information with her even though she couldn't understand him. Atleast he had told her his intentions even with that communication barrier.

"I believe that everything has arrived now. I'll put this away then I'll take a bath." Kagome said.

"Ok dear, I'll help. It was nice speaking to you, Sesshomaru." Higurashi-san said.

(a few hours later)

Sesshomaru had stayed perched on the comfy chair. He had watched all of the proceedings of the Higurashi family and it had taken a few hours but they had finally put away everything that had been it the boxes. He had seen all of the things Kagome called "pet supplies" and knew that she had bought all of it for him.

Kagome had grabbed several busted down boxes and left the room and Sesshomaru went to follow but was delayed by a falling tower of more boxes. So he returned to his seat and waited for it to be cleaned and thought over everything that had happened that afternoon.

He had watched all the male ningen's set boxes and more boxes down all over the place and take papers out of their pockets and hand them to his intended for her to sign, then they would flirt with her or Rin and he would have to jump up and growl at them or bite at their pant legs, only one would not take the hint, he had to rip the whole croth out of his pants just for him to leave.

Then Kagomes' mother had come over and picked him up and placed him in her lap, that had startled him, but she was respectful with her words to him. She had asked him if he appericated all that her daughter was doing for him. She also told him that Kagome loved him.

Ha had to think of a way to get Kagome to know that he wanted to be with her. Wanted her as his mate. He really didn't want to use Shippo to tell her, it wasn't respectful to her. If he had Shippo tell her for him it would be like he didn't have balls enough to ask her, like he was ashamed to ask her himself.

He needed to find a way to tell her but first he had to find her. Sesshomaru got up to go find Kagome. He followed her scent through the kitchen, up the stairs, and to the bathing room. He could smell hot water but didn't think anything of it and went in. Kagome was in there.

Kagome had left the sitting room with the crushed boxes and disposed of them. Then she proceeded up the stairs to take a steamy hot bath. She gathered her supplies and filled the tub full. She stripped and lowered herself into the steaming water.

Kagome sighed as the water relaxed her tense muscles and she turned a deaf ear to her surroundings. She never heard the door open or the small whine of the fluffy puppy that saw her stretch her limbs.

Her scent was in the air and Sesshomaru walked slowly toward what was suppose to be the bath, he could see her raven locks were wet and shiny from the water, to him she looked liked a tenshi. Her eyes were closed as if she were asleep.

He sat there waiting for her to acknowledge him so he could try to speak with her when all at once she sighed and lifted her long leg up into the air to wash it. The water had beaded on her skin and slowly ran down toward some where below the white rim of the bath. His beast was howling and trying to get loose when she lowered her leg back down and then raised the other leg to wash it.

When she lowered this leg back down he did not expect what happened next, all of a sudden she sat completely up and he was in heaven. His mate to be was perfect, her breast were high and firm. They had pink nipples that had hardened in the cool air and he wanted to suck and lick on as he held them in his hand as he squeezed lightly on them. When she raised her arms up to wash her hair, this action only pushed her breasts up and out and his beast went nuts desperate to get out.

He was entranced at the sight of her and he whined again Kagome heard him. She looked over and saw him and ducked below into the water. Then a thought hit her.

"Come here Sesshomaru." she said, sternly.

"I think she is mad." he said.

"Maybe." the beast whimpered.

"Come on, come here." she said.

His ears laid against his head as he approached her, he wasn't sure what she was going to do. Kagome had a fun idea and jerked him into the water with her. When he came up he gave her glare.

"What did you expect you hentai?" she asked.

What had he expected? Not that, that was for sure. She had surprised him by pulling him in and now she was holding him against her chest.

"I love our onna." the beast said.

"I think I am starting to." he said to it.

Kagome began stroking him behind the ears.

"I love it when she does that." it said.

"I do too. It feels good." he said.

He leaned his head closer to her palm and whimpered when she stopped. Only to have her begin to rub his whole body, she washed him. After a few minutes Kagome stood with him in her arms and stepped out of the tub. She wrapped him in a towel to dry and sat him down.

She went to grab another towel from the bathroom closet and Sesshomaru got his first complete view of Kagome. She was glorious in his eyes. The water slowly trickling down her body, the way she moved her body, her scent, and then there was her naked state that had stirred a fire in him.

He saw her backside and felt fiery then she turned with her naked front towards him and he felt his head hurt. Then he smelled blood, but it wasn't hers', it was his.

"Sesse, your nose is bleeding, you hentai. Like what you see?" she teased.

To her great surprise Sesshomaru nodded at her.

"Y..You do?" she asked.

He nodded again.

"Do you think I am desirable?" she asked.

He barked and nodded.

"Yes, I do. Very much, my mate." he said.

Kagome blushed ten shades of red. Sesshomaru thought that she, Kagome, was desirable.

"Do you like me?" she asked.

He nodded.

"Do you like me as more than a friend?" she asked.

He barked and nodded again.

"I do so very much, miko." he said.

"Do you like me as a girlfriend?" she asked.

He cocked his head to the side at the unfamiliar term.

"Girlfriend?" he asked himself.

"Umm, girlfriend is like an intended without the promise of marriage unless you want it to go that far." she explained.

Sesshomaru nodded at her.

Kagome smiled, he liked her like a girlfriend, atleast it was a start. She wanted to know if he loved her but wasn't going to push, the truth she didn't want the answer just yet. She was afraid to know.

"Thanks Sesse." she said.

Kagome then sighed and wrapped the towel around her; she then picked him up and left the bathroom.

(Inutaisho-Heaven)

The Inu laughed. His son was going in the right direction all he needed was a little push. Inutaisho was very pleased with what he had started, with both of his sons.

Everything was going right, Sesshomaru was finding love and Inuyasha was finding out about the life his brother leads. Yeah he was sneaky, but it needed to be done sometime, so why not the present? It was going to be a long road to trek on both ends but the results would be worth it in the end.

Authors Note: SO here it is, Chapter 9. Please Review!
