InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A New Owner For Tetseiga ❯ 1 ( Chapter 1 )

"Kagome I want you two take the key to our father's resting place to Sesshomaru. He should have it. But one thing he will not have is Tetseiga. That I leave to you. Now that I am a full demon I can't use it and I don't need it. Totosai made me a better blade that will answer me now that I am a full blood." Inuyasha told her. He hefted the Getsurei and the jagged edged blade gleamed in the moonlight from which it drew it's power. "I'll be back of course, once I free Kikyo's soul from hell. I swore I'd always protect her, and I know that she diserves another chance at the life that Narakku stole from her!"

Having said that he embraced her gently then went off to find his lost love. Leaving her behind to sort out the tatters of her broken heart. She was very proud that she had gotten beyond crying for him. If anyone could master hell and make it give up one of it's prisoners it was Inuyasha. He had the force of will and that alone would most likely carry him through. Still it meant that he...didn't love her.

She unsheathed Tetsiega and was surprised that it transformed. The other times she had held the transformed balde it had proved almost to heavy for her to raise her arm. Now it sang lightly as she swung it back and forth through the air. "Okay Tetsiega, it's just you and me now, and we are going home." She told the blade, it was almost sentient according to Miyoga, so she talked to it as she would a well known friend, after all it had saved her life countless times from the very time she first freed it from the stone at Inutaisho's grave.

She reached the well, and the now pure white Jewel of Four Souls glowed brightly. It knew the routien as well by now. She stepped up onto the well and jumped from it's lip into the blackness within. The vortex inside flung her back to the future, without her ever noticing that a particular demon was watching her.

"Obviously my little brother is less foolish then he appeared to be. That Miko's reincarnate will do justice to the Tetseiga. Far better then he in fact. But we shall have to see." He whispered to himself then he summoned the dragon cloud and rode away. It was time to check on little Rin, and only time would reveal what the future held.

Kagome went straight up to her room after shouting around the corner to her family that she was back. Hanging the Tetseiga by it's scabbard belt from a hook on her wall she lay down on her bed and stared at the soft pastel pink ceiling. She had done so much with him, and been through so much with him together side by side. It was still so difficult to wrap her heart around what her mind knew for a fact. He had chosen Kikyo over her and not even once had he hesitated when the choice between Kagome and her former incarnate.

That did make her cry, but not for long. Kagome may not have understood it, but she was outgrowing her crush on Inuyasha and far faster then usual, but only because her heart had found someone else to focus on. She sighed and pulling her favorite blanket up to her chin decided to take a nap before dinner. It had been a long long day.

She was eating with delight as her mother put honest to goodness modern food in front of her. Sota laughed at a joke she told him, and her grandfather, after a look of speculation joined in the laughter around the table. Mother was laughing to softly as she always did, her heart happy to have her child back, though she felt that something was possibly a bit off she would not question this good fortune ether.

A knock at the door came and her mother got up to go answer it. "Yes she is here, one moment. Kagome! You have a visitor!" Something odd was going on. Her mother didn't sound as cheerful as she had a moment ago. She rose to see who it was only to run smack into a armored chest. Only the two perfectly healed demonic hands kept her from falling back on her assets.

"Hello to you to Kagome." The smirk in his voice din't make it to his face, which was as ever locked in his disspassionate mask. "Hello Sesshomaru. I was going to come visit you tomorrow to give you the key to your father's tomb. Since you are here though, I'll go get it now." She said as if her cheeks weren't flaming at being so close to a demon with spring in the air.

It was almost summer but the effect that demons had on those of opposite gender during mating season didn't abate until midsummer in an unmated demon. Not that it would be hard for Sesshomaru to become mated, he just hadn't obviously done so yet for the year. Perferring as Inuyasha had said to avoid the most fertile period of female demon's yearly cycle. "Sesshomaru may be my older brother. Even so he is not old enough to care for pups yet, and he knows it!" She remembered him saying. It made being in close proximity with Sesshomaru very difficult for her, but not impossible. Having been near Inuyasha after his transformation into red eyed full demon Inuyasha during the spring of the previous year had made her a bit more hardened to the demands of her body when the pheramones struck.

She reached over to the cup of pencils on her desk and removed a wire contraption made by Totosai to hold the tiny magic sphere that secured the remains of Inutaisho. It dangled on a silver chain and she moved with only a moment's hesitation to place it over Sesshomaru's head. He sniffed deeply as she leaned in close then he did grin. "My brother's only smart maneuver was to give you the Tetseiga, for you will do far more honor to my father's fang then ever even he as a full demon could. Yet it is what Inuyasha left undone that reconfirms my opinion that he is an absolute idiot." He paused and traced her cheek with a sharp taloned finger.

"That he left you unmated, when you would have rolled over and begged for it should he have made the slightest offer...gods save my brother the fool." Sesshomaru watched as the tears of loss welled up in the girls eyes. "He went to the very depths of hell to save Kikyo's soul. He chose that dead miko over me!" Kagome turned from him to hide her tears as they fell but the scent of her crying was clear to his nose. "Do you still love my brother human?" He asked with a tone of incredulous mockery that he didn't feel.

She stopped her silent sobbing for a moment, then turned back to him with fire in her eyes. "No Sesshomaru I hate your stupid brother, more then ever you hated him even when you fought over Tetseiga! He betrayed me, me the one that granted him his only true wish, to be a hundred percent demon! I'll admit he used the jewel to save my life, that gesture of friendship's love purified it more even then I could by myself, but he still chose to go to her! Once he saves her, which I have no doubt he will succeed at it eventually like everything else he puts his canine mind to, he will take her as a mate forever, and I'll still be alone without anyone!"

He reached out and embraced the Miko's reincarnate as he had seen Inuyasha do a hundred times when the girl was frightened, ill, or upset. It had the desired effect, she curled herself against him and wet the small bit of fabric that showed of his kimono above his armor with her tears. The reaction of his heart was most unexpected. When this warm female pressed her softness against him he had expected the jumping and hardening of his loins, it was not yet midsummer and he had not mated, but not the ache in his heart. She went into his arms and did not resist even though he had been her enemy for a very long time, until quite recently. Now she trusted him to offer comfort without threat so great was her pain.

"I think Kagome, that upon his return it would be best if you were already settled with a mate of your own choosing. I have an plan as to how you could go about it in the way most likely to infuriate my dear idiot of a brother. However that is for a day when you are feeling stronger. All I ask is that you listen and consider my idea when I tell you before you get angry and try to destroy me with the sword and the stone." Kagome nodded and then he released her.

Sesshomaru had been utterly gentle with her tonight. Kagome was shocked and pleasantly surprised by how kind he had been, holding her as she wept, and before leaping out the window and back down the well to his time he had even wiped away the traces of her tears with his kimono sleeve. He had a plan he had said, and that was exactly what she had needed to hear. If anyone would understand her frustration with his brother it was Sesshomaru. Whatever vengeance he was contriving it would be interesting for sure, and if that grin was any indication it would be fun for everyone besides Inuyasha.

Part 2 A Much Needed Kindness!

Kagome had been practicing hard for the dance contest all week. It had been twelve days since Sesshomaru had gone back down the well. Every so often Kagome would go into the well house and focus the power of the jewel to make sure that the well portal remained open. She had just done this before taking off to participate in the contest. She danced with all the energy she used to put into shard hunting and day dreaming of Inuyasha loving her instead of Kikyo. Of course she won with that much of her spirit behind her dancing and was carying the women's solo division trophy home happly when she felt something come through the well.

Was it Inuyasha? Had he succeeded already? No it was something that felt alot like Inuyasha the full demon, but different in subtle ways that could not quite be expressed in words. It was also somehow...older! Sesshomaru! It had to be him back at last to tell her his plan for pissing off Inuyasha! She'd do almost anything to make him regret his decision, and they did say the best revenge was to live well. Sess's plan had something to do with getting her `settled with a mate of her own chosing' by the time Inuyasha finished his grand little hell quest. She would gleefully fuck whom ever Sesshomaru suggested, even Jakken if it would infuriate Inuyasha enough! Well maybe not Jakken , but most creatures other then him thats for sure!

She entered the house and sensed that Sesshomaru was in the sitting room with Mom and Sota. Grandpa she could feel sleeping in his room upstairs. She entered the sitting room and held up her trophy proudly. "I did it Mom, Sota, I won the devision championships!" She told them. She acknowledged Sesshomaru with a nod before running over to the mantlepiece and putting her huge trophy dead center where it could glimmer and shine enought to catch the eye of every person to enter the room.

"Say goodnight to your family Kagome, and walk me to the well would you?" Sesshomaru suggested as he scrutinized the trophy's plaque. She did so and accepted the elbow Sesshomaru offered to her as they walked out the door and towards the well house. She sat on the well's edge and summoned the power from the jewel around her neck. The pure white stone that was the metamorphosed Jewel of Four Souls gleamed with silver light and reactivated the sleeping well portal. A lot of energies eneded up being drained when a pure demon came through the portal, so she recharged it from her own amped up reserves, still tinglingly full from the victory at the dance contest.

"You are sure that you are indeed enough recovered from your ordeal to hear my plan?" He asked. Her reply startled him. "I am ready Sesshomaru. You have my word that I won't try for your head because of whatever suggestion you make, no matter how outrageous it might seem at first." He paused took a deep breath and began. "Kagome, you need to be mated to someone to set off the jealousy in my brother's character. In order to make him the most furious I myself would be the best choice." She took the idea in far more rapidly then he had thought she would.

"Hmm. Go out with one brother to make the other brother angry and jealous enough to boil his blood. I must admit it's a classic idea Sesshomaru, but have you forgotten that I'm human?" He shook his head. "Your human blood does not matter to me Kagome. In the years of our acquaintence I have found you to be both worthy foe and faithful companion, not to mention a woman of great magical and personal strength and merrit. That and I have found that the idea of mating with a human of any sort has become something far less then the utterly repugnant concept it was when I was young." He explained. His conversion to the tastes of his father seemed to please her for a soft smirk crossed her features briefly.

"It's not a plan I can say yes or no to right away Sesshomaru. Come back at the new moon and I will have thought it out." She offered tenatively. He sniffed again as he passed her to go to the well. No he had not been mistaken. Not only was his brother a blind idiot when it came to Kagome's various wonderful attributes, but so were all the males from this and his own time. She was an untouched maiden. His grin was hidden by a fall of silvery white hair as he jumped up on the lip of the well then dived in.

Kagome walked back inside and accepted a small sugary snack from her mother. "This Sesshomaru person, he's Inuyasha's older brother?" Her mother inquired. "Yes Mother, his full demon older brother." Her mother noded and went back into the kitchen, her strange curiosity apparently satisfied. A moment passed "So is he the one then?" Came a voice she had not expected to hear. "Yes love this is the one. At first I thought it might be dear sweet Inuyasha, but it is this one instead. That and now if Inuyasha came crawling she would not take him back, not after what he did."

The shadowy figure noded. "She is just like you then, for even if I crawled I could never come home again could I?" Kagome's mother shook her head, "I would welcome you but would Kagome? I think she would not. All these years I have done as you asked of me and told her that you were dead. I think she would imoliate you on the spot dear, and with the Shikon No Tama she has the power to do so. That and the fang of her soon to be lover's father made into a sword hangs over her bed. It can slay a hundred demons at one stroke, and soon she will have mastered it's magics."

The shadowy figure noded once more briefly. "And Sota? What of our dear son?" Kagome's mother shook her head. "I have still had no visions concerning him, nether for good nor ill. That worries me more then all the horrifying things I have forseen in Kagome's future. She will prosper in spite of these things. Our son I have no clue about just as any mother with her children." Kagome's mother did not know exactly what that portended for Sota, but the shadowy figure knew what it meant. His son would soon follow him into the craft he now practiced, for no one saw the future, past or present of a Ninja in visions gifted by fate. In this fate was kind for a Ninja often did and saw things that would make any one not so trained quite terribly insane.

"Worry not my love, no visions are a good thing. Trust me in this." He whispered then he held her against his chest for a brief moment and placed a kiss on her forehead before he vanished. Kagome's mother sighed. If what her love had said was true, and he had never even once lied to her, then he son would be alright. She just wished that like with Kagome she could be sure.

Kagome had slept hard after the exertions and excitements of the day. Her head hurt when she woke up she had slept so hard. She went into her bathroom and took some asprin, her aching head demanding she do something about it, then she trekked downstairs in her fuzzy bunny p.j.'s. The little cartoonish rabbits with their exagerated ears and funny noses that always seemed just about to wiggle always made her feel comforted.

She took a roll from the basket, not very hungry this early in the morning, and after eatng it went back upstairs to get dressed. "Mom I am going to the mall! Do you need anything?" She shouted as she ran down the stairs. "No dear, you go and have fun!" Her mother shouted from the back of the house. Out the door Kagome went, just in time to see her girlfriend coming around the corner in her brother's car. The little red haundai really moved when Sezumei was driving. She put on the brakes and stopped only long enough to pick up Kagome before peeling out.

"So what do ya need? Besides victory shoes of course!" Sezumei asked. "A new moon deflowering outfit actually..." Sezumei's mouth fell open and Kagome nodded with a slight smirk across her features. "So you are going to do what the brother offered to do?" Kagome nodded. "This is very important you realize don't you?" Kagome nodded again. "Do you love him Kagome?" Kagome sighed and thought carefully about Sesshomaru. Did she love him? "I think I just might Sezumei." Sezumei nodded. If anyone knew how hard it as to make up your mind wether you loved someone so soon after losing someone you were sure about it was her. "Well then now that that is settled...Let's shop!" The two girls ran towards the mall doors laughing aloud in glee.

Kagome was out in the shrine courtyard practicing her archery when she felt the well activate. Out of it came Sesshomaru, and in his arms was a squirming Rin! "I know that I gave my word not to return until the new moon, but I needed someone who would care properly for Rin chan while I and Jakken clean out some tresspassers in the Western lands. Your friend Sango would have been fine but..." Kagome laughed at the look on his face. "But she and Miroku are busy starting their own family is that it?" Sesshomaru nodded, and Kagome was charmed to see that he was actually blushing.

"You could smell it all the way down the road I am sure, so instead you brought Rin chan here. I will watch her for you until you finish what you have to do." Nodding in acceptance Sesshomaru urged Rin to go to Kagome. After embracing Sesshomaru briefly about he legs Rin chan did as she was bid and went instead to hide her face behind Kagome.

Kagome took Rin down to the playground to make some new friends. "Okay guys listen up. This is Rin and she doesn't talk cause some bad things happened to her and her family a while back. She can hear but not talk so you don't have to yell. Rin go play with the other kids okay. I'll be over on the park bench if you need me." She told the little girl then watched as she ran off to play witht the other kids her age. She watched as it was finally decided that Rin would play with the one boy exactly her age in the sand box while the bigger children played on the more dangerous toys like the swings and slides.

All of a sudden a man in a dark coat ran forward and snatched Rin and her little friend! "It's the bad man!" Several children shouted, and one woman screamed in outrage before chasing after the man who had her son. Kagome was way ahead of her. She got a running start and jumped kicking out with her left leg at the last moment, landing a solid blow to the middle of the man's back. He fell flat on his face Before he could get up agian Kagome had taken back little Rin and the woman's son then she proceeded to stomp on him to discourage his getting up.

The police had taken him away, blubbering and crying, after Kagome had used the power of the jewel to give him the horror of all the children he had harmed. She took Rin back to the shrine and had mother make her something sweet to help her feel better. "Are you going to be okay Rin?" She asked. Rin nodded and accepted the little bag of jacks Kagome handed her. She sat next to Kagome and played with them while Kagome finished her archery Practice.

Two days passed and Seeshoumaru returned. When Kagome told him of what had happened he nodded that her punishment had been just. "You have become wise in the course of your trials." He complimented. Then he did something so intirely sweet that Kagome felt the urge to insist he stay, and to make her want a dental appointment. He knelt and scoopedup Rin in his arms, actually embracing the child!

Part Three: My Mate!

Kagome looked at the calendar on her wall with mild concern. Tonight was the new moon. She had made up her mind to do the much talked about `it' with Sesshomaru the day after he had offered her the idea, but still, it would be her first time and with a demon not exactly reknowned for his gentleness. He had also not taken a mate for the year, having chosen her. Having chosen her! Kagome smirked wickedly, all her fear fast evaporating. Sesshomaru had chosen her, when he had surely had plenty of fashionable, passionate Yukai females to pick from. She laughed aloud and ran down to have lunch with her family, fully aware though they didn't have a clue, that this would be her last family lunch as a virgin.

Kagome told her mother she wasn't really hungry and skipped dinner. She was actually having another case of nerves. It got late and she decided that she needed to take a shower and relax. Ether he was coming or he was not, that was all. She had just rinsed the shampoo out of her hair and was reaching for the conditioner when her bathroom door opened.

She didn't even jump when he whispered her name, which shocked him. "I take it by your calm that you have chosen." He said. "Yes Sesshomaru I have chosen. Please get undressed and join me in here would you?" Her slightly quavering voice spoke volumes of how afraid she was. That only made him more excited, but he calmed himself.

Long ago his father had told him that should he ever chose to do so, humans were different from Yukai. Their first time mating would bring pain no matter how careful the mate was that they rutted with. This made it ten times more of a gift to be chosen to take a womans virginity. He also knew that she would bleed and feel poorly for the first few moments. Afterwards they were as any other female and would feel only pleasure so long as they were ready and wet with desire.

Kagome heard the soft clank of armor meeting tile and the clothes following swiftly after. She opened the shower door and allowed a naked Sesshoumaru in the shower with her. His body was stunning. Pale skin sat smoothly over hard muscles and here and there were the striped markings she had expected, echoing in color the ones on his face. They were wider though, some several of her fingers wide at the base. She purposefully did not look down at his nether parts. Most likely he would be huge, and that being the case she didn't want to know. It would make her tense up if she did and that would only make his entry hurt worse.

"Kagome, it is known to me that humans are fertile the year round unlike the Yukai, so unless you wish to bear hanyou pups I hope you have taken precautions." His voice brought her back to the matter at hand. She turned slightly and tapped the small peach colored patch on her shoulder with the sunflower art in the middle. "Contraceptives are taken care of." She promised

He smiled at her which startled her a little. He then bent and sniffed the patch carefully. It did have a strong medicinal scent when he got close enough to it but it was not anything that even he would smell when she had clothes on or if his nose was further then an inch or two away from the tiny thing. He went to his knees and then nipped a spot of skin just above the curve of her perfect round buttocks and was rewarded with her startled squeek. Then a soft feminine giggle. Nervous she was, but also brave and ready to begin.

He traced his way up her back, placing an open mouthed kiss here, a careful nip there, a lick over here, until he finally reached her tender neck. Here he both bit down none to gently and sucked on the wound that he had made to mark his mate. It would leave a fine bruise come morning. She had made a tiny throaty noise when he bit down and now she purred. Aparently human females enjoyed having their necks sucked on as much as Yukai ones did. She liked what he did next even more. He reached around and carefully so as to avoid slicing open the sensative area with his poison talons and he manipulated the sensative little nub between her thighs.

Kagome smiled as Sesshomaru sucked on her neck like he had gotten ahold of his favorite hard candy. His skillful mouth and even more talented fingers were making it hard to stand up by herself let alone think. He finished by licking the spot a few more times before tracing his tongue around her ear. Then he gripped her chin and turned her head to kiss her for the first time. When their tongues met and dueled she found that even in his humnoid form he had a mostly canine tongue, she also found that she liked it.

He spun her around and lifted her in his arms until she was pressed chest to chest with him. He carefully slid first one leg then the other up so that her thighs rested on his hips. The slight support with her being braced against the wet tile at her back was enough to hold her aloft so that he could make the final adjustments. Then he slid inside her. it was as she suspected but not half as bad as she had feared. He was thick and his eagerness made his control shaky and his thrusts very forceful, but it felt painful only for a little before it started to feel really good.

The moans of his mate in his ears sounded very sweet. The fact that he was claiming something all had thought was Inuyasha's made him feel even better. Growling with the intensity of his passion Sesshomaru stepped up the pace a bit as soon as she started making an effort to meet him halfway. Her softly spoken, "Oh Yes Sesshomaru Yes!" made her approval of this behavior clear and he licked the spot on her neck again before returning to kissing and nipping at her slightly bruised lips.

When Sesshomaru came it was with the ferocity of a full blooded demon. Just the passion in his eyes was enough to bring her as well. His cries would have woken her Mother and Grandfather and Sota. If they had not been out of the house at her Aunt's for the night that is. His eyes had gone entirely red as they did before he transformed and he panted hard, interspaced with grunts as he tried to control himself.

Eventually the rush faded for them both and he pulled himself free of her savaged body. The water had grown cold without Kagome even noticing but the body of her new mate shielded her from most of the needle-like spray. He knelt down in front of her and eased one leg up over his thigh. Carefully he lapped at her wounded sex until all traces of her blood and the remains of his own seed were gone. He even licked her thighs clean. She just sighed and leaned back against the wall again. His ministrations, though they would have made her aroused again under ordinary circumstances, soothed instead and she started feeling sleepy.

He looked up at her from his place kneeling on the floor of the shower and swept his wet hair back from his face. "All better my mate?" She nodded and he stood. The girl was obviously sleepy from the day long battle with her nerves and the joyful climax they had shared. He took the second bottle that smelled like her hair did usually but not of soap and applied a small amount to the top of her head before working it through the long ebony colored strands.

She allowed this, even purring softly as she had when he marked her neck. A sure sign of her enjoyment at his massage of her tender scalp. He then urged her to rinse and washed off his own genitals in the cold water. Once they had climbed out of the thing she called a shower she used two towels for herself and then turned to help him dry his body with a third. A fouth one was wrapped around his own wet hair. `We'll blow dry our hair in a minute but it works better if you soak up as much of the water as you can with a towel first." She explained.

She had done so to her own hair, the small electrically powered device blowing hot air over the locks until they were dry enough to be brushed and braided for the night. She then used some sort of potion that she called a "leave in conditioner spray" to prepair his hair and then used the device on him. It did rapidly dry his hair and she braided it after asking if she might do so. That done she drew him along after her around all the things she had been movin in her room to allieviate the stress and onto her bed. He slid with her under the covers and once she was snuggled close he quickly fell asleep and knew no more until dawn.
