Chapter 13

 

Richard jumped through the well as Kagome and her friends watch on. A few hours after Sesshomaru had left them, Richard the other dragon had shown up. He had stated he was going to go through the well to go and get his mate to help with Ether's change. Kagome, being a little protective of her home and the well had told him she would return with him, that and because she wanted to return home to give her mother an update on what was going on.

After Richard was through and the blue light had faded, Inu-Yasha picked Kagome up and jumped into the well with her in his arms. Kagome wrapped her arms around Inu-Yasha's neck as the blue light enveloped them. She never liked traveling through the well because of the power that surrounded them, but she knew it was necessary in order to return to and from Feudal Japan.

Inu-Yasha held Kagome closer as the well went back to normal and the scents of the modern world assaulted his nose. He bent his knees and pushed up, sending him and Kagome up out of the well and onto the floor of the well house. Richard was still standing by the door of the well house.

“Aren't you going to go?” Kagome asked as she waited for Inu-yasha to set her down.

Richard looked back at the miko and the half-breed. “I would, except there is a certain cat waiting on the other side of this door,” He stated as he gently nudged the door open. Immediately Buto mrowed and pushed his way in, licking his nose. “He says he's hungry.”

Kagome sighed and looked up at Inu-yasha. “Um…Inu-Yasha, could you put me down?” She asked nicely as Buto rubbed against Richard's legs.

Slowly and reluctantly Inu-Yasha set Kagome down. He enjoyed carrying Kagome in his arms, it was one of the reasons he insisted on going through the well with her to begin with.

Kagome stood and brushed out her skirt before walking up and picking up Buto. With an oof she lifted him up into her arms. “How can you be hungry?” She muttured as she pushed the well house door open all the way and carried Buto towards the house.

Inu-Yasha sighed as he watched her go. How was he going to admit his feelings to her?

“You know, it would be easier if you just kissed her,” Richard commented as he walked away.
“Feh, what would you know you stupid dragon?” He asked as he jumped onto the roof of the house and climbed through Kagome's window. In Kagome's room, he thought about the dragons comment. Perhaps if he were just to kiss Kagome and then tell her how he felt she would believe him? It was a thought. Besides, he had already kissed her once…

Richard sighed as he calmly walked down the steps of the shrine. It was the afternoon in the modern time and his car was parked several blocks down. He stuck his hands into his pockets and started walking down the street. His black scarf trailed out behind him and his hair billowed in his face. His swords were hidden from human view with an invisibility spell so only demons could see his swords.

As he walked up to his car he pulled out a set of keys out of his pocket. He honestly didn't like to drive, but with the distance he was going to have to go, driving was really the only answer. He sighed and climbed into the driver's side and started the car.

After a few hours of driving, Richard came to a set of gates deep into one of the few forests in Japan. He reached out his window to press something into a keypad. The gate swung open and he cruised beyond the gate. He was now inside the demon land of Japan. He sighed as he saw several fox's dart across the road. Shaking his head, he pulled into a community parking lot. There were several other cars already there and he took notice on who exactly was around. Without a look back, he darted into the trees going faster and faster until he came upon a giant mansion in the middle of the forest. This was the home of several of the major dragons in Japan, including him and his mate. He wasn't that important to the dragon community, but his mate was. Because she was one of the older and only golden dragoness's around she was considered a leader of her clan. Because she had strange silver runes etched into her wings, it was thought the mother goddess had blessed her.

He sighed as he barged through the door and headed towards his and Sarah's rooms. He delicately sniffed to pick up the scents and instantly picked up on Sarah's…and something else. He ran through the halls and up a flight of stairs and into their room. He pushed the door open and slowed down immensely so as not to seem rude. “Sarah?”

A second after his head poked through door a pillow was thrown into his face.
“It's all your fault you jerk!” An angry female voice shouted as he picked up the pillow. Next to the bed was a very angry golden female dragoness as well as a younger blue female.

“What's my fault love?” he asked innocently as he walked forward to put the pillow onto the bed.

He heard the bathroom door slam shut and he sighed. She was in one of her famous moods. “What's my fault?” he asked the young blue dragoness, whose name he couldn't remember.

She giggled and shook her head. “You have to ask her ladyship for that information,” she stated as she walked out of the couples room and back into the hallway.

Sighing irritably, he walked over to the bathroom door and knocked gently. “Love?” he whispered that word and waited for a response. He heard a crash as Sarah dropped something and then a soft tired sigh.

He took a step back as a frustrated looking Sarah came out of the bathroom. “It's all your fault and I'll never forgive you!” She exclaimed as she stomped over to their bed.

“I still don't know what I did,” he said as he reached at a hand to grab her hair. He did this when he was annoyed and he knew it didn't really hurt her.

Sarah eeped and tried to pull away, only to be pulled back. “I won't tell you now!” She said as her hands went to her head.

Richard growled low and nuzzled the left side of her neck, a few centimeters away from the mating mark he had placed on her when they first mated. “You better tell me,” he whispered threateningly.

“Or what?” Sarah asked softly. Her eyes narrowed and she squirmed.

“Or else this!” Richard poked her in the side and grinned as a squeal emitted from Sarah. He grinned and poked again.

“No tickle! Noticklenoticklenotickle! ALRIGHT I'LL TELL YOU!” she yelled in between gasps as Richard pocked and tickled her.

Richard relaxed his grip on her hair and stopped tickling for the time being. He rested his hand on her hip and rubbed it gently. “Good…now, what is my fault?” he asked soothingly, his breath caressing her ear.

Sarah shivered and blushed. “I'm….pregnant that's what! The elders won't let me out of this room and they won't let me go about my duties!” She exclaimed after a moment of hesitation. She moaned softly as his hand stopped on her stomach.

Richard frowned. “That's all?! You're upset at me because,” then it hit him. Her words finally made it through his thick skull. He grinned happily and lifted her into the air. “You're pregnant! That's great!” he laughed and twirled her around happily. He nuzzled her neck and licked her ear. He had wanted a dragonling for years, but Sarah had always refused!

Sarah frowned and squirmed. “No it's not! Now I can't do anything. I've been bored stiff since you left! I can't go into the forest, the elders won't let me heal anyone, and even my meditation gets interrupted by people coming to ask me how I feel,” She said with a roll of her eyes. “It's as if they think I will fall the pieces if I move!”

Richard smiled. “Well then, how about I take you on vacation from this place?”

Sarah's eyes lit up at the thought. “Where would you take me to? Venice?! Ireland? We haven't been to the States for awhile,” she said ticking off her favorite places to go.

Richard grinned mischievously. “How about, 500 years in the past.”

Sarah froze; she couldn't have heard him right. “500 years…isn't time travel forbidden?” She whispered.

Richard shook his head. “Only if you create the spell,” He sighed and lifted Sarah into his arms and carried her to their bed to explain everything.

After about an hour of explanation and question answering, Sarah had all the details. “Well…there can't be anything wrong with it then, I mean, as long as the well was made in the past then time travel through it is legal,” she said. After some more thought she nodded. “Alright, I'll go back and help you with this Ether. Poor girl, going through all that and her only family are humans. She must be so sad,” Sarah murmured.

“That and now you can get away from this room and the elders,” Richard said with a smirk.

Sarah smiled sweetly in reply and nodded. “Alright, let me pack a few things and we can go.”
Richard's nose wrinkled. “A few things? What are you going to take?!” he demanded softly.

Sarah sighed and rolled her eyes. Ok, so she sometimes over packed whenever they went on vacation in other countries, but that didn't mean she would over pack to travel to the past. “My tools of course, and pregnancy medication. I DO NOT want to get sick while I'm trying to help that poor girl,” she said out loud, inwardly she was deciding on what kimono's and accessories she would take, she was female after all. “How long will we be staying?” She asked.

“Well…I need to stay for at least 3 months to make sure Ether has the basic training done. You only need to stay for a month.”

“Oh no, I'm staying with you the entire time! If I have to suffer being pregnant, then you have to suffer with me. It is your fault after all,” Sarah said, her arms crossed over her chest.

Richard frowned and leaned back for a moment. “It is not my fault if you got yourself pregnant my mate,” he said before pouncing on her and tickling her.

Sarah squealed and laughed, her legs flailing hard.

“Oh geese! Not the legs!” Richard exclaimed as Sarah kicked wildly around. He leaned over and clutched at her legs to calm her down. “I swear, you could kick me to the other side of the mansion if you had the chance,” he muttered.

Sarah panted and laughed. “That's what you get for tickling me,” she said with a soft weak laugh.

Richard sighed and moved up to nuzzle her cheek. “Are you sure you want to stay with me though? Remember, it is the past,”

Sarah smiled and nodded, she traced her fingers along his jaw. “But I'll be with you, and that's good enough for me.”

Richard returned the smile and then laid down, pulling Sarah close; he tucked her head under his chin, her back to his chest. “Alright, if that is what you want,” he said as Sarah fell asleep in his arms. Richard relaxed and nuzzled Sarah's head. They would leave at midnight, that way they wouldn't need to take a car.

 

Sesshomaru paced his study, it had been hours since Cypher had left to fetch his mate. The great Lord growled in irritation as the sky outside his window started going from a light blue to pinks and purple. Ether hadn't moved an inch since he had laid her in her bed, Mimi had returned stating Kagome, Inu-Yasha, and Richard had gone through the well without trouble and the rest of the group was resting the village near the well. Rin was running around in the gardens with Lilly because Rin couldn't be near Ether and Lilly didn't have any clothes to make while Ether was sleeping.

Lord Sesshomaru rubbed his temples for a moment and looked at the door that led into the hallway. He was half tempted to leave the paper work he was supposed to be doing and to go to Ether to watch her sleep. Even while she was asleep Ether was more beautiful then most demoness's he had met in his life. He sighed for the umpteenth time and ran his fingers through his silver locks.

“My Lord Sesshomaru?” A small squeaky voice said by the door. Sesshomaru looked up irritably as the small toad demon came into his study.

“What is it Jaken, I'm very busy at the moment,” he said with a soft growl, his cold mask in place over his expressions.

“My Lord, the Lady of the Southern lands is here to see you,” Jaken said with a deep bow.

Sesshomaru let out an irritated growl. Ever since his first mating season, that bitch hadn't left him alone. He had defeated her in battle to prove she wasn't worthy of him and ever since then she had been hounding him to take a mate, more then likely herself.

“Tell her I'm busy and preoccupied and the moment,” he said with a wave of his hand. The Lady of the South was the last person he wanted to see at the moment.

“Well, I don't care if you are preoccupied, I came here specifically to visit you,” a soft, soothing, light voice said behind Jaken. Suddenly the door was pushed all the way open and Jaken fled from the room with the two powerful demons.

“Lady Sakura, I do not wish to speak with you at this moment,” Lord Sesshomaru stated. Oh how he wanted to just turn his back on this bitch and dismiss her like any of his servants, but because she was the ruler of the south and he was the ruler of the west, he couldn't do something like that.

Lady Sakura sauntered up, her hips moving enticingly, something Lord Sesshomaru pointedly ignored. “My dear Lord Sesshomaru, surely there is nothing more important then speaking with me?” she asked with a seductive voice.

Lord Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and moved to his desk. He sat down, but did not indicate for Lady Sakura to take a seat. She took one anyway.

“Mating season is just a few days away my Lord, perhaps this will be the year you take a mate?” she asked, her elbows on his desk and her hands cupping her chin. She smiled sexily and her eyes glittered.

“I have told you before, Lady Sakura, I am not interested in taking a mate at this time, let alone you,” he said coldly, his eyes meeting hers with an icy glare. In his mind however he was panicking. He had not realized mating season was so close, let alone on the day Ether would start and finish her change. How could this have happened? Did the gods enjoy tormenting his mind and body?

Lady Sakura pouted cutely and placed her hands in her lap. “When will you admit the truth Lord Sesshomaru? You are in love with me and only wait because I am not of age,” she said with a soft voice.

Lord Sesshomaru growled and waved towards the door. “If the only reason you came here was to speak to me about the mating season, leave now. I will hear no more of your nonsense,” he stated as he leaned over the paper work he had abandoned earlier. He was dismissing her, but in a more polite manner then if he were to dismiss his servants.

Lady Sakura growled, but got up to leave. She would have Lord Sesshomaru, he was hers, that was what her father had always told her. Sure the Lord was decade's maybe even centuries older then her, but that wouldn't stop her from having him as her mate. She had been training for a long time to become stronger, to prove to him she would make a powerful mate. “I'll see you later then, Lord Sesshomaru,” she said as she left, a little angrier then when she had entered.

Lord Sesshomaru let out a soft sigh of his discontent as the door closed behind the beautiful, but snobby Lady of the South. How he could put up with her the way he did, he didn't know. Many of the other Lords in the land envied him for his patience with the Lady, since they themselves hated her. She was too arrogant and weak, no matter what she thought. She would never make a good mate, let alone mother for any future pups.

Sesshomaru signed several more documents before he finally gave up and left the study. He was to angry now to concentrate on the letters, papers, documents sent from the other Lords and the demon citizens of his land. Sesshomaru rubbed his eyes and before he knew it, he was standing in front of Ether's door. Should he go in? As he turned away he heard movement inside Ether's room. He sniffed and an angry menacing growl emitted from his throat. `What is that bitch doing in My Ether's rooms?!” he thought with pure rage as he nearly ripped the door to the front room open. He stormed to the next door and wrentched it open. There, next to Ether's bed, stood Lady Sakura.

She was standing there with a look of pure hatred, a knife in her hand. “You get away from her now,” Sesshomaru was able to say, his inner beast roared and clawed, trying to get to the surface. Someone was threatening its future mate and it wanted blood as punishment. Sesshomaru's eyes quickly bleed red.

Lady Sakura gasped when she heard Lord Sesshomaru's words. To be honest, she had just been walking to Lord Sesshomaru's rooms, you know, to wait enticingly in his bed, when she had caught the scent of another female in the rooms next to Lord Sesshomaru's.

She had of course gone in to see who it was, since she had not recognized the scent.

When she had seen the girl fast asleep, Sakura's temper rose, when she realized the girl was part human, she was completely pissed. Without even realizing the girl was part dragon, she had pulled out her dagger and was glaring down at the bitch that had the gall to be in the same area as her future mate. That was when Sesshomaru had burst in.

Lady Sakura took a hesitant step back and dropped the dagger to the floor. She had only seen Sesshomaru that angry once, and that was when he was in battle. “Lord Sesshomaru, I was…I was only,” she stuttered.

Sesshomaru's claws dug into the doorframe as he forced himself to keep his beast down. If he attacked now, it was possible he could hurt Ether. “Get…Out…NOW,” he yelled. He made a little room for her to pass by him, just enough for her to squeeze past.

Lady Sakura rushed past Lord Sesshomaru; the last thing she wanted was to be killed then and there. If worst came to worst Sesshomaru could claim she had been threatening one of his guests, and then mention the fact that the threatened guest had been fast asleep and unable to protect herself. That would justify him killing her. She rushed from the castle, heading for her own land. She ignored the demons around her, especially that annoying little toad as she hurried away. She ran with all her strength, the strength of the cat she was.

 

Lord Sesshomaru breathed heavily as he fought to calm down. That…FEMALE had threatened what was his; he could have killed her if he wanted. Sesshomaru groaned and pushed away from the doorframe and towards Ether's bed, stepping over the discarded dagger. He would remove it later.

Sesshomaru looked down at the sleeping Ether and his beast roared again. His beast knew mating season was close, but it also knew his future mate was to defenseless in her current state. His beast demanded he protect his mate from any future danger. Sesshomaru agreed with his beast, he had to protect Ether until she could defend herself again.

He sat carefully down on the edge of her bed and brushed his claws gently against her cheek. His hand shook and he pulled it back. Ether would be his, but he knew he would have to wait to mate with her until after her change. He growled low in his throat and he bent closer to the sleeping dragoness. His fangs extended and brushed the side of her neck as his thoughts of taking her, as his mate grew stronger.

He pulled away and stood. He couldn't mate her while she was sleeping so deeply, it wouldn't mean anything. “Where is that blasted Cypher,” he cursed as he realized it was completely dark out.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Um…hehe, ok, I post a short chapter and then I have this long one. Tada? I enjoyed writing this chapter because I got to introduce two more characters, one that is important, and one I plan to have Sesshomaru kill later on (( insert maniacal laughter here ))

 

So, Richard and Sarah…I didn't exactly describe Sarah in this chapter, but I will in the next one. Pretty much she's a 5'4 girl with smallish medium breasts, brown/red/blonde hair, blue eyes, and very sharp teeth. She had golden wings that have silver runes written around the edges. She has had those all her life and they symbolize the fact that the Mother Goddess (of dragons) has blessed her with special abilities.

 

Enjoy this chapter.
