InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Begging For Mercy ❯ This Love ( Chapter 14 )

“I told you she would pass out, you so owe me 100 bucks ice-prick,” a gruff voice woke her from her sleep. Brown eyes blinked open to see two sets of gold staring right back at her. “So it wasn't a dream, you're actually here…” she whispered, feeling a pair of large hands cupping her cheek. “No it wasn't a dream, I wish I could've let you know sooner, Kagome,” he told her softly, his thumbs stroking her soft skin.

Kagome shook her head, “I don't care about that, I was miserable without you,” she said, not letting the tears that welled up in her eyes fall. “And I, without you,” he told her and gave his brother a look that said to go away. “Yeah, yeah, big reunion, I'm gone,” Inuyasha said, heading towards the door to his brother's room and out of it, closing it behind him.

“Was that Inuyasha?” she asked, sort of confused, “yes it was, I'm sure you have a lot of questions but just give me a few moments to hold you,” he whispered softly. Kagome could feel her lip quiver and she leaned up, flinging her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly. “Don't ever leave me again,” she whispered into his chest while his arms snaked around her waist tightly.

“This isn't going to make working together awkward, is it?” she asked with a small giggle, feeling his chest rumble with one of his rare, deep chuckles. “Well, I don't believe it will, you are my personal assistant, so we'll be around each other a lot and now that we definitely know each other, it'll be easier to travel together,” he said. She nodded and pulled away from him slightly so that her brown eyes could search his gold.

“Is there something wrong?” he asked, a little confused.

The miko shook her head, “no, just cementing the fact that you're real into my brain,” she said softly, she heard him chuckle again. “Sometimes you are too much Kagome,” he chuckled, leaning down and pressing his lips against hers. “I've gone 500 years without you; trust me, I'm never going to leave your side,” he told her honestly, his lips still against hers.

She couldn't help the smile that broke out on her face, nor feeling of her heart jumping in her chest when he kissed her. The miko kissed him back sweetly, feeling him pull away after a few moments. “When did you and Inuyasha start to get along?” she asked with a small giggle.

“A century after you were ripped away from the past, we put our differences aside but we still have our moments when we want to kill each other,” Sesshomaru said shaking his head slightly. “That is typical for siblings,” she said and leaned her head on his shoulder. “I suppose so,” he said.

“Is Kikyo still alive?” Kagome asked softly, he nodded. “Yes, after Inuyasha mated her, he performed a blood bond with her, elongating her life; they have twin pups, Dakari and Sen,” he said. Kagome let a grin split her face, “I'm so glad, I'll have to congratulate him when I get a chance to talk to him,” she said.

“How did everyone else fair?” she asked.

“Sango and Miroku married, their lineage is still going strong through their descendents; Kohaku also furthered the Taijiya way and took Rin's hand in marriage. If you didn't figure it out by now, Ja is Jaken in human form,” he chuckled.

Kagome's eyes watered, hearing about her feudal family, “Sango and Miroku also named their first born daughter after you,” he also informed him. “Oh gosh, I wish I could've have been there for them,” she frowned.

At that moment, a tall male burst into the room with auburn hair and sparkling emerald eyes. “I had to see if it was true,” he rambled, his green orbs falling on Kagome.

Kagome blinked slowly while Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, “you could've knock, fox,” he chastised.

“F-fox...” the miko trailed off, pulling away from Sesshomaru to walk up to the tall, ginger-headed man. “S-Shippo?” she stuttered, her head barely passing his diaphragm. “Hey Kaa-san,” he grinned sheepishly.

Kagome felt her eyes water yet again this night, looking at her grown, adoptive son and immediately launched a hug on him. This concluded with the shocked fox toppling to the ground while hugging her back.

“I apologize for cutting in on your reunion with Kaa-san, old man but I had to see her; you weren't the only one that grieved for 500 years at the loss of her,” Shippo said coyly, trying to calm the bristling taiyoukai.

“I think we need to brush up on your training, kit,” Sesshomaru smirked when the fox blanched. “N-no that's fine, really!” he said in a rushed manner. Kagome rolled her eyes, “that's enough, I have plenty of time to catch up with all of you but I have a question for Shippo,” she turned brown orbs to her kit.

“Are you mated?” she asked him seriously.

“Yes I am, I mated another fire kitsune like myself, her name is Natsume; we have…a lot of kids,” he laughed. Kagome blinked, her eyes going wide, “I'm a grandmother at 18?” she shuttered. “Lovely,” she muttered.

Shippo scrunched his nose at her, “yep and I taught them all to call you baa-chan when in contact with you,” he teased. “Sesshomaru, I agree with you, further his training,” Kagome grinned when Shippo blanched again and got up with his kaa-san still in his arms. “Eh heh, on that note, I have to get back to Natsume and the kids, we need to get together for lunch kaa-san so you can meet my family,” he told her.

“You know I will, Shippo, take care of yourself and don't be a stranger,” she said and gave him another tight hug. “Yes, yes, I'll see you soon,” he said and kissed the top of her head before heading out.

A few days later:

Kagome spent most of the weekend catching up with the brothers and meeting Shippo's family. Natsume was so kind and beautiful, as were their children, she was a proud mother.

“Ano, Kagome, could you come in my office for a moment,” Sesshomaru's voice on her loud speaker broke her out of her thoughts. “Right away boss,” she grinned, hearing his growl and left her office, heading next door and knocking before she entered.

“How can I help you?” she asked as she shut the door behind her, “my computer crashed again and I just wanted to see you,” the taiyoukai told her. Kagome laughed, “you're the smartest demon I know and still you have troubles with computer,” she walked over to him, taking a seat in his lap and studied his laptop before clicking a few keys and rebooting. “There,” she smiled and felt him huff against the back of her neck.

“Computers and this Sesshomaru will never mix, Kagome,” he informed her, she shook her head as he took on his old manner of speaking. “I see that, which you should be glad you have me around to help you with your computer work, huh?” she asked, turning her head to look at him with a grin.

He smirked at her, brown eyes flashing gold, “yes, I'm very lucky but that is also what I hired you for,” he teased, brushing his nose against her cheek. She pouted, “I thought your hired me because I was pretty,” she teased, mocking dramatics.

He chuckled, “well that's another reason,” he put on a thoughtful look before leaning forward and captured her pouted lips with his own, kissing her deeply. Kagome's pout quickly turned to a satisfied smile as she kissed him back deeply, her hands still on his desk.

The taiyoukai pulled away from her now kiss-swollen lips and smirked at her breathless, bliss-induced state. “I don't think I'll ever get tired of how you make me all tingly with those kisses of yours,” she purred softly, still feeling breathless.

He chuckled again, “and I won't get tired of causing you to be aroused,” he growled huskily into her ear, nipping the lobe softly which brought forth a tiny moan from the squirming miko on his lap. “For you, that's a very easy task, your body exudes sex from your pores,” she whimpered out as the nipping continued.

Sesshomaru smirked and then pulled away, moving his lips to her neck and placing soft kisses on the expanse of skin presented to him. “This Sesshomaru never got a chance to tell you something 500 years ago,” he whispered, piquing her curiosity.

“What did you want to tell me?” Kagome asked softly, her eyes closing as the sweet kisses continued to display affection on her neck.

“I love you,” he whispered against her skin, causing her heart to stop beating her eyes to shoot open wide. Shifting her body, she turned in his lap to face him completely, brown hues meeting sun-kissed gold.

“Y-You do?” she asked, her voice small and shy. He nodded at her once; this confession made her smile and caused her heart to jump in her chest, doing little flips. “I love you too,” she told him, biting on her bottom lip.

The taiyoukai cupped her face in his hands and pressed his lips against hers once again, kissing her deeply and passionately. Her arms snaked around his neck as she returned the kiss, pressing her body as close to his as possible to keep his lips against hers.

Her eyes fluttered open as he pulled away slowly; his lips still a breath away from hers. “Will you allow this Sesshomaru to court you?” he asked, his deep voice sending chills down her spine.

She grinned, “yes,” she said simply, closing the distance between them again. He kissed her back before starting to trail small kisses down her neck to the area right above the junction of her neck, “this will hurt only slightly but I'm placing my courting mark on you,” he informed her before tugging his necklace off.

His black hair turned silver and she felt deadly canines pressed against her flesh and she squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself for the pain that was sure to come.

Without further delay, the taiyoukai bit into his mate-to-be's neck, infusing his youki with the bite. Kagome bit down on her lip roughly to stop herself from crying out and felt tears of pain prick her eyes. She whimpered quietly as he pulled away from her neck, licking the wound to stop it from bleeding and causing it to heal.
