Kagome woke up to the sun shining on her face. She was disoriented for a while, not recognising where she was.

Looking around, she saw a kimono neatly folded on the chair beside the futon she was in. All the events that happened last night came back to her and she blushed as she swung her legs out from under the covers. Wincing as she stood up and felt her muscles complain, she made her way to the chair.

Kagome gasped when she unfolded the kimono. It was a dark blue color, matching the midnight blue of the sky, and had spatters of white which resembled stars. A bright crescent moon shone on the back and a big white dog on the front, howling at the moon with all it's glory. It was so light and felt so smooth that it must be made of the purest and finest silk.

She smiled at the idea that Fluffy was marking her again by making her wear that.

'Great. What's next? A collar saying, "Fluffy's property. Keep off!" ?!' she thought and was surprised when she heard an answering chuckle in her head.

/Not quite, love,/ a voice said. Kagome's eyes widened when she recognised who it was and WHERE it was.

'Fluffy! What the hell are you doing in my head?!'

/What? I'm not allowed to see to the well-being of my family?/ Sesshoumaru asked. She growled at his amusement and her own confusion.

'What family? There's no one in here except. . .' her eyes widened as she realised what he must be talking about.

He chuckled at her shock.

/Yes, my dear mate. You are with pup./

'But. . .but. . .' was all that ran through her head.

/Why are you so shocked? You knew that it was a possibility when you mated with me./

The shock slowly wore off and allowed Kagome to, at least, reign in her scattered thoughts to form coherent sentences. Her first sane thought?

'OH MY GOD!!! I'm pregnant!' she screamed in her mind, making Sesshou wince and leave his study to go to his chambers.

He found Kagome sitting on the chair where the kimono had been. . .and she was still nude. His blood quickened and rushed to his lower body.

She didn't notice that his scent had spiked, and she most definitely didn't even know that he was there.

He went to her and lifted her into his arms before sitting down into the chair with her seared on his lap.

'This probably wasn't the best idea. . .' he thought as she brushed against his growing arousal.

They stayed like that, Sesshoumaru trying to coax Kagome out from where she hid in her mind. Finally, he resorted to a mind-tap, touching his mind to hers and allowing him to read her mind, to actually BE in her mind. He saw what she was seeing. . .

Kagome was sitting on the grass and watching the sun set on the horizon. A pair of arms wrapped around her waist and she leaned into Sesshoumaru's embrace.

"You shouldn't be here. . ." he told her.

"I know. . .I'll be back in a while."

"All right. I'll be waiting on the other side. . ." he said, releasing her and starting to walk away.

"Sess. . ." she called, making him turn back to face her. "I don't regret becoming your mate and mother to your pups. . .It was just a shock. . .and now I'm over it. . ." she said quietly. He walked back to her and embraced her again, kissing her lightly on the lips before starting to fade.

As soon as he was gone she sighed and pulled out two pieces of paper from who-knows-where. There was a name on each paper. . . Hikari and Kokuei. She let them go and watched them drift on the wind before they disappeared from sight. Sighing again, she exited her own private sanctuary where not even Naraku could get her if he tried.

Kagome.

I went back to my conscious state and found that I was sitting on Sesshie's lap while HE was staring at me.

"Quit staring Fluff-boy! Or your eyes'll fall out," I growled. He smiled at me and hugged me close. And I felt something poking my leg.

'Great. Just great. Can't have enough of me, can you?' I thought shifting a little.

/No, I definitely can't. But that is NOT a problem./

I sighed before getting off his lap to get dressed. Or at least. . .I TRIED to get off his lap. . .

When he wouldn't let go I started pouting.

"Come on Sesshie! I need to get dressed. . ."

"No. I like the way you are dressed right now." I growled at him in frustration 'cause HE knew and I knew that I didn't have a stitch of clothing on. . .

"But I'm not wearing anything. . ." I bit out.

"Exactly."

"Oh, and I suppose that you want the kids or my father to see me in my birthday suit?!" I exclaimed.

Normal.

Sesshou smirked at her ranting before deciding to shut her up the best way he knew how. He kissed her firmly on the lips and she relaxed immediately in his arms.

The kiss was mind-drugging but Kagome held on to one sane thought the whole time. It wasn't easy but she was rewarded when they came up for air.

"I still need to get dressed. . ." she whispered. He groaned and stood up, placing her on her feet.

"I give up! Stay there," he said and bent to pick up the discarded kimono from where it laid on the floor.

Sesshoumaru dressed her carefully, cautious of his sharp claws.

"You didn't have to…" she whispered, kissing him lightly. He sighed, tying the obi securely around her still slim waist.

"I know… I wanted to," he replied.

Finally, they were ready and Sesshou took her to the dining room where an old inu-youkai was waiting for them.

The inu-youkai bowed low but it wasn't clear if he bowed only to Sesshoumaru or to Kagome as well.

"This is Genji. He will be your social teacher," Sesshou told her, making her mouth drop open.

"Social teacher?! As in manners and stuff?!" she exclaimed. He nodded.

"You must learn how to behave according to your new station. The other Lords insisted upon it in case I took you as my mate. This Sesshoumaru would not normally agree but seeing as your father requested that you be taught the youkai code. . .and you know NOTHING of our history. . ."

"Alright, fine. You people can teach me all you want. But I am NOT going to be nice UNLESS you let me see my pups!" she yelled. Sesshou growled at her in warning and she growled back.

"Genji-sensei, could you possibly leave us? My mate and I need to. . .talk. . ." Kagome said, narrowing her eyes at Genji when he refused to budge. "Maybe you didn't understand me. . .I said, GO OUTSIDE," she growled.

"Milord did not say to. . ." he responded. Sesshoumaru growled again, this time at Genji.

"Listen to my mate when she gives an order Genji. She is in as much authority as I am. . ." he bit out, shocking old Genji.

"An equal mate, Milord?! I, in my old age, have never seen such in an inu- youkai pair!!!" the old man wheezed.

"Then you are a fool! For my mother was an equal to her own mate as well," Kagome ground out. "Now. . .GET OUT!!!" she roared, making Genji rush out and slam the doors loudly behind him in his haste.

The red started to leak into Kagome's bright green eyes as she turned to Sesshoumaru.

"Now, Sesshie. . ." she said calmly, moving to stand in front of him until they were toe to toe. "Where. . .Are. . .

My. . .PUPS?!"

He cursed mentally when he saw how upset she was.

"Kagome!"

She was so surprised that he had actually yelled at her that the red completely left her eyes.

"Be calm, mate. Or the pups you carry will be in danger!" Tears started to pool in her eyes. . .

"Please, Sesshoumaru. I just want my pups. . ."she cried, the tears falling silently down her cheeks. His heart melted and he enveloped her in a warm embrace.

"Alright, alright. Shh. . .Be calm and I will take you to them." She sniffled and looked up into his eyes.

"Really?" she asked, making him smile gently.

"Really," he said, kissing the op of her nose before dipping lower to capture her lips. She deepened the kiss, caressing his tongue using her own. Her hands roamed over his back and he groaned, pulling away from her.

"Stop that. . .unless. . .you want to. . .continue. . .right here. . ." he panted, running his hands through his hair.

"I'd love to, if Daddy wasn't on his way here. . .!"

Sesshoumaru composed himself and adjusted his pants. Kagome sauntered over to her mate and fixed his hair and shirt before quickly masking her scent. Sesshou followed suit but he still had a *little* problem on his hands. . .er, *in* his pants.

"Need help, love?" Kagome purred, her hand trailing down to cup *him* through the loose hakama.

"No, thankyouverymuch!" he breathed.

"You sure? I'm thinking that I could purify something to take your mind off it. . ."

"no," he squeaked and cleared his throat. "No. That, um. . .isn't necessary."

"You're sure, love?" Her hand went up to caress his cheek, which she had to stand on tip toe to do.

"Quite," he replied, kissing her pink lips.

"Aww. . ." she muttered and giggled.

"I see you haven't wasted any time, Sesshoumaru," a voice said from the doorway.
