Note: Sesshomaru has discovered his own power gaining Bakusaiga, therefore, he has both arms.
Deep in the peaceful West of Feudal Japan, in the House of the Moon, the Lord of the West slept soundly on his futon. The early morning birds chirped in the sakura blossom trees just below his balcony, welcoming the new day. Not just any day but the day after the mating of Inuyasha and his long-time love, Kikyou.
Granted, relations between Inuyasha and his half-brother Sesshomaru were not always friendly, but things changed thanks to a time-traveling miko by the name of Kagome. Now while chasing down the elusive shikon shards all over Nippon, running away from and battling evil shard-bearing demons and one nasty hanyou by the name of Naraku, the group known as the inu-tachi made peace with the Lord of the West and his little pack consisting of Rin and Jaken. Through an alliance, the two packs came together and fought together finally putting an end to the evil Naraku.
Once the final shards were found and put in Kagome’s capable hands, a final wish was made; that Inuyasha would have his dream of love in the form of Kikyou by bringing her to life from the clay form that she currently held.
To Kagome, the wish that she made had to be unselfish. To give her best friend the happiness he so sought after and deserved made her heart happy. After so many years of being on his own, and after his first love was taken from him in the way that she was, this was Kagome’s gift to him. Her love of Inuyasha had developed into a more sisterly love and she felt at peace with her decision.
Sesshomaru slowly came to the land of the living, the sounds of birds aggravating a headache that he never thought was possible. Moving ever so slightly, the demon lord noticed a warm body curled against his.
Opening his amber eyes slowly, Sesshomaru focused across the room and then to the object of his curiosity lying next to him. Inky black hair that mixed with his silver mane, light olive skin that seemed to be ever so slightly sun-kissed at the shoulders and dark eye lashes that fanned her freckled cheeks was what he saw. She was Inuyasha’s miko, the girl that traveled with the hanyou, the houshi, the slayer and the Kitsune while searching for the shards of the Shikon no Tama.
‘But how did she get here, in this Sesshomaru’s room, let alone bed?’ he wondered grudgingly. While he was confused at the situation he found himself in, he wasn’t completely upset. Sure, she was human, but so was Rin, his ward.
After having spent many months in each other’s presence, the priestess and the Inu Lord slowly developed an understanding of each other. Even his beast seemed to calm in her presence. While she chatted up a storm about things, he would listen and every once in a while give input. He verbally sparred with her winning each of those battles with single word replies. But he soon came to respect the human female who had seemed to invade his space and slowly, his mind.
And here she was once again invading his space. Looking under the furs that covered his vast futon, he noted that they were both unclothed. Sniffing lightly, the scent of sex permeated the room. Sesshomaru looked down to the little female in his bed and there, on her left shoulder, was his mating mark.
‘MateÉ..let her sleep. We kept her up the better part of the night and morning,’ chuckled his beast.
‘How is this possible? I don’t recall any of it.’ Sesshomaru replied to his internal being.
Before Sesshomaru could continue to question his beast, a noise came from his bed partner.
ÒMmmmnnÉÓ came a sound of slow awakening from the sleeping miko.
ÒPriestess,Ó Sesshomaru quietly called to the female coming to.
ÒNnngÉ.just a few more minutes, Mom,Ó Kagome sighed, rolling over and pulling the furs over her head.
ÒKagome,Ó Sesshomaru chuckled lightly, Òthis Sesshomaru is not your Mother. However, I am curious as to what are you doing in my room?Ó
Arms pulled the furs down just showing the top of her head to her nose, so she could see, ÒSesshomaru? Your room? How did I get here? Oh my Kami, what happened?Ó The frantic girl cringed further into the blankets, trying to hide, flinching when she discovered her nakedness and a bit of pain where she’d never felt it before. ÒWhere are my clothes?Ó She moved further away from the demon in the bed.
ÒThis Sesshomaru is not sure how it happened except that you now wear my mating mark.Ó
ÒYour WHAT!Ó screamed the overly frantic female.
ÒPriestess, please calm yourself. Your screams hurt this one’s ears, and will bring unnecessary attention to us.Ó Sesshomaru tried to use reason with the female, his mate. Sesshomaru slowly inched closer to the priestess, his beast pushing him to do so.
ÒI’m sorry, Sesshomaru. I didn’t mean to lose it there. Okay, soÉ..what happened? The last thing I remember was Inuyasha and Kikyou’s mating ceremony and the celebration that followed. I recall Miroku and Shippo continually feeding me cups of punch in between dances, and avoiding Kouga at all costs because Ayame and I came to an understanding,Ó replied Kagome, unaware that Sesshomaru was little by little reclaiming the space that she placed between them.
ÒHn, this Sesshomaru thinks that the punch was more than what it seemed.Ó
ÒWhat? Are you saying it was spiked?Ó questioned the aggravated miko.
ÒWhat is this ‘spiked’ that you speak of?Ó
ÒOh, sorry. In my time, alcohol is not served to those that are considered under-aged, or too young to drink. To spike the punch, means to put alcohol into the drink without anyone knowing about it,Ó she explained.
ÒThis Sesshomaru believes that is the case, then. Someone must have put demon sake in the drink for that is the only thing that could affect me,Ó he grudgingly admitted. It was one of the only things that could affect the great demon lord, and he tried to keep that hidden from everyone. ÒHowever, all of the cups you were served could not have contained the sake as it would have killed you. Whoever did this to us knew what they were doing and only gave you so much over the course of the evening.Ó
ÒEnough to find myself in a truly compromising position and no memory to speak of,Ó mumbled Kagome completely oblivious to the gorgeous male cornering her to the edge of the bed.
ÒYes, well, that is one of the side effects of demon sake. Initially, it removes your inhibitions, in some it increases libido,Ó he purred nuzzling his mark, a constant rumbling coming from his chest. ÒDepending on how much one imbibes, it tends to make you forget what happens afterwards.Ó
ÒUmm, Sesshomaru....what are you doing?Ó squeaked the slightly uncomfortable girl.
ÒThis Sesshomaru and his beast are getting to know more about his mate. How much do you know about Youkai matings, Inu in particular?Ó
Kagome was feeling a bit uneasy, but the sound coming from the demon was calming her discomfort. ÒWell,Ó she began, Òaccording to what I’ve learned over the years, demons mate for life, but that is where the similarities end. Each species has a different way of courting and marking their chosen, and from what I understand; some mating ceremonies can be quite lengthy. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about Inu Youkai mating practices.Ó
Sesshomaru was not surprised at her lack of knowledge. Since he and his half-brother were the last of his species not much was known about the elusive Inu Youkai, and Inuyasha most likely didn’t know the practical aspects, just the instinctive.
ÒThen it is up to this Sesshomaru to teach you.Ó There was a promise in his eyes. A promise of things to come, and Kagome wasn’t so sure she was up to task.
ÒAn Inu Youkai’s beast, or the instinctive part, for the most part stays dormant. The only time the beast will show itself is when there is a threat to itself and its other half or when it senses its mate,Ó explained Sesshomaru. ÒWhich leads me to believe that this one’s beast identified you at our first meeting in my father’s tomb.Ó
ÒWhy do you think that?Ó asked Kagome.
ÒMy beast, as you know, made its presence known at that time. Unfortunately, it explains why we were distracted and lost our arm in the process.Ó
Understanding dawned on Kagome. ÒYou mean to tell me that your beast came forth because of the threat it saw in Inuyasha, saw me and was distracted, and that’s why you lost your arm?Ó
ÒThis Sesshomaru does not distract easily. It is the only reason I can think of,Ó he replied as he kept physical contact with her at all times. ÒTo continue our lesson, the beast will do whatever it can to be near the mate it has chosen. Do you really think Inuyasha’s sword was the only reason for my appearances?Ó he asked rhetorically.
Kagome had the decency to blush at that. She was not stupid and could tell the Inu was keeping very close contact with her as he ‘instructed’ her.
Sesshomaru continued. ÒWhile my beast and I did not agree on its choice of mate, it would not give up and continually annoyed this one until it had its fill. The only way to appease it was by joining our packs. I would have to say that during our travels, this one had to agree with his beast; you were worthy to become this Sesshomaru’s mate.Ó
That caught Kagome’s attention. Never did she think that someone as beautiful and as deadly as the killing perfection would find her worthy of his attentions. Sure, she was a red blooded female and found him extremely attractive (sexy), and yes, his personality left a lot to be desired until she spent more time getting to know him. But his mate? Who’d a thought?
ÒWow. Sesshomaru. I don’t know what to say,Ó she whispered, almost in awe.
ÒI believe last evenings actions speak louder than words, Kagome,Ó the Inu crooned. ÒYou must have felt something for this one in order to have allowed our coming together to happen.Ó
Kagome was speechless. ‘Is he right? I’ve always heard alcohol is like a truth serum. He is gorgeous, and I’d have to be dead not to notice that he really is more bark than bite. Especially when it comes to those he shows affection to. Just look at Rin! She thrives under him.’
Sesshomaru used Kagome’s distraction to his advantage. His inner beast was clamoring to get to know more of her body. So Sesshomaru gently gathered her into his arms, leaning against the pillows against the wall and placed her between his legs. The feel of her soft nakedness against his own body sent a jolt through him, instantly hardening a certain part of his anatomy ÒWhat are you doing?Ó Kagome squeaked. She was not unaware of what she was feeling against her back.
The deep purring began and the demon lord ran his nose against her left shoulder up her neck and licked under her chin. ÒWhat do you think I’m doing?Ó he chuckled. As he continued to nuzzle, nip and lick, his hands began to slowly and gently touch. ÒInu are very tactile beings. Sense of smell and touch tell much about a person. When I touch you like this,Ó he ran his claws gently up and down her sides, Òyour scent spikes. Do you know what you smell of woman?Ó
Kagome was lost in the feelings that she barely heard the question posed to her. ÒUh....no?Ó
ÒArousal,Ó he murmured switching sides. At this point, Sesshomaru was done with talking and moved on to more pleasing things. He continued to gently stroke her sides gradually moving forward to her flat stomach. He sensed her tension at the new placement of his hands, but it quickly dissipated. His fingers deftly stroked her stomach and alternated to her sides, slowly getting her used to his touch. He could tell she was enjoying it just through scent alone.
Sesshomaru needed to speed things up. His hardened length was pulsing in need and, though he could not recall the evening prior, his beast ensured him that their joining would be very pleasurable. Taking things up a notch, Sesshomaru gently cupped Kagome’s breasts, gently kneading them and rubbing and pinching her already hardened nipples. Kagome gasped at the feelings building within her and responded to his touch. There was a tension building deep within the pit of her stomach that she couldn’t identify. Tendrils of excitement made their way through her body, looking for a way to escape, but were unable to. She was lost, yet she found so much in Sesshomaru’s touch.
Sesshomaru had waited long enough. Swiftly but gently, he moved from behind Kagome and lay her on the silk sheets as his body hovered over her own, his silken locks surrounding their bodies. His amber eyes caught her azure pools in their grasp. Although nervous, Kagome found a certain calm within the inu’s eyes that translated to her own feelings. What she didn’t know was that the calm was being fed through the mating mark she shared with Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru slowly leaned in. Gently touching her warm lips with his own, he caressed them ever so softly. Noting that she wasn’t opposed to this, he pressed on, pressing his lips to her own, then licked the seam to her mouth. Catching her off guard, Kagome gasped at the unusual feeling and Sesshomaru went in for the kill and devoured her mouth, plundering her depths with his tongue. He tasted, tested and reveled in her. Knowing that she would need to breathe soon, he pulled away, nipping and kissing at her chin, and neck, savoring her sweetness and basking in her scent.
As Sesshomaru nipped at his mark on her shoulder Kagome’s scent spiked, responding to her mate. Sesshomaru groaned from the overwhelming spiciness of her scent that told him she was just as aroused as he was, his cock swelling to the most painful of proportions.
Kagome continued to respond to the feelings Sesshomaru was invoking in her. There was no time to think about how wrong things were, but only how right. Sure, the way she became his mate was not the best way but now that the deed was done, there was no sense wallowing in the woulda-shoulda-coulda of it all. Sure, her Mom would have been disappointed in her, but since the wish was made, the well had shut down closing her way back to her era and home.
Sesshomaru had always been an honorable being and took care of what was his. It could be worse, but Kagome decided to go with it. ‘Ah, what the hell. I might as well enjoy myself!‘ And with that determination and final decision, Kagome began to participate, much to Sesshomaru’s delight.
Just as his hands had roamed over her seeking to familiarize himself with her body, her fingers quickly skimmed along the silk-like skin of her mate. Years ago she would have never believed it if anyone told her that Sesshomaru would be holding her naked body tightly against his equally naked body.
She boldly pressed her lips against Sesshomaru’s collarbone and nibbled gently. The croon from deep within the chest pressed against her invoked a heat that traveled lower and lower. In response she bit a little harder. Kagome’s legs wrapped tightly around Sesshomaru’s waist just as he pulled away to latch to her breast. The tingling sensations created by the pulling sent shivers further down her spine. Her fingers dug into his back as her hips lifted off the bed to rub against the heat of the swollen length splayed along the her inner thigh.
Sesshomaru applied enough pressure to keep the woman against the mattress. He kept her pinned as his hands roamed her down her sides and slipped behind her to squeeze her buttocks, his claws biting into her skin. His hips thrust against her heat, the moisture from between her feminine lips lubricating his shaft. He moved one hand away to soothe circles over her skin eventually reaching behind her head. His fingers tangled in her raven locks and he pulled her lips to his. Eagerly the woman pulled his bottom lip into her mouth sucking and nibbling until Sesshomaru took advantage of her open mouth and slipping his tongue pass her lips. The woman by nature fought back, seeking to take the dominant position.
Perhaps it was the remnants of their earlier evening activities but Kagome didn’t want to wait anymore. In the back of her mind she knew that the best was yet to come. To her, these pre-activities were unnecessary because the pleasure from the small touches were nothing compared to the pleasure her body anticipated from the physical memories embedded in her every cell.
Sesshomaru pulled away only to be yanked roughly back by the miko beneath him so she could whisper in his ear. The sweet voice of his mate reached him in raw desire. It was a tone that he wanted no one else to hear. He would possessively guard these small secrets as he discovered them and keep them to himself. As much as he wanted to tease her to learn more he wouldn’t that day for his need was just as great as her.
Slowly he penetrated, forcefully bringing out a gasp from the miko. He could feel her thighs clench around him just as the inner walls constricted around his member in a tight hug. He pulled out and continued the slow pace with much difficulty.
Beside her head Sesshomaru’s claws burrowed into the pillow beneath her head. It was a sign he was being careful. For some reason he wasn’t daring to pick up the pace. From the way his muscles tensed every time he pressed forward, she knew he was having some trouble holding back. Kagome wanted more, yet he had pinned her in a way that she couldn’t move her hips to quicken the pace.
Her moans did nothing to encourage him, neither did the love bites and claw marks or whispers.
ÒPlease Sesshomaru go faster,Ó she begged.
As hard as it was to think she was able to put two and two together. She remembered the discussion of Sesshomaru’s beast and that Sesshomaru could be acting through instinct. Perhaps he was afraid of something.
ÒI’m not fragile Sesshomaru,Ó she said in a seductive whisper. The sweet scented breath kissed his cheek as her arms encased around him and attempted to pull him closer. ÒI didn’t break last night,Ó she pointed out.
No one could read him usually. But then he had never dropped his walls around anyone like he was at that moment. Steadily he increased the pace. The trembling walls that clung to him brought his breaking point closer. And before long the woman was crying out in pleasure her eyes written with the blank look of ecstasy. After his own orgasm flooded over him he gave a couple of final thrusts, ensuring his scent was deep within her. Beneath him the woman went limp and sighed in relief. A contented smile broke through, reminding him of sunshine breaking through clouds. She was more beautiful in the aftermath of their lovemaking with a thin sheet of sweat causing her skin to glisten in the morning sunlit.
Sesshomaru leaned in to nuzzle her neck with his nose, taking in a deep breath. ÒLet’s do it again,Ó he crooned.
ÒSo soon?Ó she breathed, alarmed.
A smirk formed slowly as he leaned in to leave more love bites along her collarbone.
Much later, the couple basked in the afterglow of lovemaking that took both of their breaths away. Staring into each other’s eyes they saw the beginning of their future together. While the circumstances were not the best, they knew that they would be happy together. Sure, it wouldn’t be perfect and there would be a battle of wills at times, but they would work at it like all couples do and would make the best of it.
And they did live happily ever after. Sesshomaru’s beast didn’t let Kagome go until she was pupped, which took over a week to do. They had many pups over the decades and thanks to the mating mark, Kagome was able to live to see her family once again.

Now while chasing down the elusive shikon shards all over Nippon, running away from and battling evil shard-bearing demons and one nasty hanyou by the name of Naraku, the group known as the inu-tachi made peace with the Lord of the West and his little pack consisting of Rin and Jaken. Through an alliance, the two packs came together and fought together finally putting an end to the evil Naraku.
Once the final shards were found and put in Kagome’s capable hands, a final wish was made; that Inuyasha would have his dream of love in the form of Kikyou by bringing her to life from the clay form that she currently held.

Kagome continued to respond to the feelings Sesshomaru was invoking in her. There was no time to think about how wrong things were, but only how right. Sure, the way she became his mate was not the best way but now that the deed was done, there was no sense wallowing in the woulda-shoulda-coulda of it all. Sure, her Mom would have been disappointed in her, but since the wish was made, the well had shut down closing her way back to her era and home.
Sesshomaru had always been an honorable being and took care of what was his. It could be worse, but Kagome decided to go with it. ‘Ah, what the hell. I might as well enjoy myself!‘ And with that determination and final decision, Kagome began to participate, much to Sesshomaru’s delight.
Just as his hands had roamed over her seeking to familiarize himself with her body, her fingers quickly skimmed along the silk-like skin of her mate. Years ago she would have never believed it if anyone told her that Sesshomaru would be holding her naked body tightly against his equally naked body.
She boldly pressed her lips against Sesshomaru’s collarbone and nibbled gently. The croon from deep within the chest pressed against her invoked a heat that traveled lower and lower. In response she bit a little harder. Kagome’s legs wrapped tightly around Sesshomaru’s waist just as he pulled away to latch to her breast. The tingling sensations created by the pulling sent shivers further down her spine. Her fingers dug into his back as her hips lifted off the bed to rub against the heat of the swollen length splayed along the her inner thigh.
Sesshomaru applied enough pressure to keep the woman against the mattress. He kept her pinned as his hands roamed her down her sides and slipped behind her to squeeze her buttocks, his claws biting into her skin. His hips thrust against her heat, the moisture from between her feminine lips lubricating his shaft. He moved one hand away to soothe circles over her skin eventually reaching behind her head. His fingers tangled in her raven locks and he pulled her lips to his. Eagerly the woman pulled his bottom lip into her mouth sucking and nibbling until Sesshomaru took advantage of her open mouth and slipping his tongue pass her lips. The woman by nature fought back, seeking to take the dominant position.
Perhaps it was the remnants of their earlier evening activities but Kagome didn’t want to wait anymore. In the back of her mind she knew that the best was yet to come. To her, these pre-activities were unnecessary because the pleasure from the small touches were nothing compared to the pleasure her body anticipated from the physical memories embedded in her every cell.
Sesshomaru pulled away only to be yanked roughly back by the miko beneath him so she could whisper in his ear. The sweet voice of his mate reached him in raw desire. It was a tone that he wanted no one else to hear. He would possessively guard these small secrets as he discovered them and keep them to himself. As much as he wanted to tease her to learn more he wouldn’t that day for his need was just as great as her.
Slowly he penetrated, forcefully bringing out a gasp from the miko. He could feel her thighs clench around him just as the inner walls constricted around his member in a tight hug. He pulled out and continued the slow pace with much difficulty.
Beside her head Sesshomaru’s claws burrowed into the pillow beneath her head. It was a sign he was being careful. For some reason he wasn’t daring to pick up the pace. From the way his muscles tensed every time he pressed forward, she knew he was having some trouble holding back. Kagome wanted more, yet he had pinned her in a way that she couldn’t move her hips to quicken the pace.
Her moans did nothing to encourage him, neither did the love bites and claw marks or whispers.
ÒPlease Sesshomaru go faster,Ó she begged.
As hard as it was to think she was able to put two and two together. She remembered the discussion of Sesshomaru’s beast and that Sesshomaru could be acting through instinct. Perhaps he was afraid of something.
ÒI’m not fragile Sesshomaru,Ó she said in a seductive whisper. The sweet scented breath kissed his cheek as her arms encased around him and attempted to pull him closer. ÒI didn’t break last night,Ó she pointed out.
No one could read him usually. But then he had never dropped his walls around anyone like he was at that moment. Steadily he increased the pace. The trembling walls that clung to him brought his breaking point closer. And before long the woman was crying out in pleasure her eyes written with the blank look of ecstasy. After his own orgasm flooded over him he gave a couple of final thrusts, ensuring his scent was deep within her. Beneath him the woman went limp and sighed in relief. A contented smile broke through, reminding him of sunshine breaking through clouds. She was more beautiful in the aftermath of their lovemaking with a thin sheet of sweat causing her skin to glisten in the morning sunlit.
Sesshomaru leaned in to nuzzle her neck with his nose, taking in a deep breath. ÒLet’s do it again,Ó he crooned.
ÒSo soon?Ó she breathed, alarmed.
A smirk formed slowly as he leaned in to leave more love bites along her collarbone.
Much later, the couple basked in the afterglow of lovemaking that took both of their breaths away. Staring into each other’s eyes they saw the beginning of their future together. While the circumstances were not the best, they knew that they would be happy together. Sure, it wouldn’t be perfect and there would be a battle of wills at times, but they would work at it like all couples do and would make the best of it.
And they did live happily ever after. Sesshomaru’s beast didn’t let Kagome go until she was pupped, which took over a week to do. They had many pups over the decades and thanks to the mating mark, Kagome was able to live to see her family once again.
