Chapter 7:

As the light dimmed down, both Kagome and the taiyoukai was amazed at what they saw. A beautiful goddess dressed in white, and looked just as she had within the book.

Aphrodite was standing looking around trying to figure out what happened. She was on her way to Athena before a bright light overtook her and brought her to a different place.

"Where am I?" The Goddess of Love inquired. Looking around, she spotted Kagome, 'Oh no, it is too early for us to meet in person,' she thought. "Kagome dear, why did you summon me," Aphrodite asked in her bell like voice.

Kagome was standing amazed at how the conjure had actually worked. She didn't think the summons would be so easy, but before she could ponder anymore thoughts she heard Aphrodite ask her a question. "You are in the Western Lands in Lord Sesshomaru's castle. And because we are in need of your help, and I did not want you to become the next target of Hades," she replied nervously.

"I am not sure if I can help you out with everything, but I will help with the best of my knowledge," she responds to Kagome. Looking towards Sesshomaru, "Lord Sesshomaru," she acknowledges.

Nodding his head towards the goddess in a silent response. 'There's something about Kagome and that goddess,' he thought, 'but I just can't put my finger upon it.' As Sesshomaru was standing there looking at both of the women speaking, he was distracted by the aura of Shippo approaching. Just as he was about to announce the visitor, the doors to the library were opened revealing said demon.

"I'm sorry Lord Sesshomaru for the interruption, but there is an important matter I must discuss… with… you," Shippo says as he glances and sees Aphrodite.

Releasing an inaudible sigh, "Very well," turning to the women he says, "Meet me in my study when the sun is just over the horizon, and do not be late. I will have a servant see you to your rooms," he tells them as he leaves not wanting to hear their answers.

Looking at the door the taiyoukai just left, "is he always like this," the goddess asks.

While looking at the beautiful goddess, she giggles, "Unfortunately." Kagome replies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

Deep in the fire pits of Hell, a certain God was pacing back and forth trying to collect his thoughts. 'If I do not get rid of Athena, she will ruin my plans,' Hades fumed.

Hades could not understand how Athena came on to him that quickly. If he does not do anything about her, she will be his downfall. She has always been suspecting him with every little problem the gods' have. He was so engrossed in his thoughts, that he did not feel the aura of his visitor.

"Hades, we have a problem," a man in the darkness of the room says.

"Don't you think I know that," Hades bellowed, "I have to take out Athena, then after her the rest all at the same time. That bitch is on to me, and it'll be a matter of time when she has the other gods and goddesses on my ass."

"That's not what I meant. Someone has summoned Aphrodite in the human world."

"The only person who can summon another god or goddess is another higher being or someone who is a demi-god," looking towards his visitor, "Ares, I need you to capture Athena for me. I have to attend a meeting with three lords on Earth in three days, so you have a day to bring her to me."

"Very well," Ares replied, but before he could leave the God of the Underworld stopped him.

"Do whatever you can to get Athena here," he growled, "trick her, or whatever is necessary, but bring her to me quickly. Or you will feel my wrath." Hades warned as he silently dismissed the War God.

"No problem Hades," the God of War replied and went off in search for a certain goddess.

Sitting in his throne, "Since I am going to Earth, I might as well find this other being that conjured Aphrodite and said goddess as well," he says to himself. 'Just great, more trouble I have to endure. This demi-god will die a slow painful death.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

As Sesshomaru was walking towards his study, he still could not fathom why both the miko and goddess bothered him so. The taiyoukai and his general had just approached his study and went to sit down. The demon lord watched Shippo get himself situated before he can explain himself why he was interrupted. 'Why is General Shippo fidgeting so much,' he asked himself. Brow rising into his bangs, "General, what news do you have for me that was urgent and could not wait?"

"Lord Sesshomaru, I have come to inform you that the three lords will be arriving to the castle in three days' time," Shippo says.

Growing enraged, "and may I ask why are they coming here," he half growled.

"They believe it is time for you to take a mate," Shippo says nervously.

Sesshomaru eyes flashed from red to gold a few times, "I will not have anyone tell me when I will mate; lord or no lord," the demon lord bellowed. Regaining his composure, "Inform a few servants to get the lords' rooms ready," removing himself from his seat, "I am going to my chambers; I do not want to be disturbed for the rest of the night."

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru."

Nodding, he leaves Shippo to start his duties. 'I need to kill something,' he thought.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

After Sesshomaru had left with Shippo, a servant had come to escort Kagome and Aphrodite to their chambers. While walking to her room after dropping Aphrodite to hers, Kagome could not help but become mesmerized by the Goddess of Love's beauty. 'The book was not lying of the beauty Aphrodite entailed,' the miko thought, 'I feel like I have some kind of connection with her, but I just don't know how yet.'

*****Flashback*****

The servant was taking Aphrodite to her chambers first before taking Kagome to hers. There were so many questions that she wanted to ask Aphrodite, but she would wait until the morning with Sesshomaru present. Glancing at said goddess, "I know it was sudden that you just got here, but I'm sure some rest and peace of mind at the moment would help, instead of always on guard of Hades next target."

Smiling a bright smile at Kagome, "I am a Goddess, Kagome, I do not need much sleep, but I'm sure you do; it is pretty late. You are right though," she reassured Kagome, "I could use a moment of peace. I might be the least goddess to worry about, but Hades is a very greedy God and he will not stop at anything until he gets what he wants. That is why Zeus tricked him into being the King of the Underworld, instead of being on top."

Sad eyes turning to the goddess, "do not worry; Lord Sesshomaru and I will defeat Hades before it's too late," Kagome says with determination in her eyes.

Smiling another smile, "I have complete faith that you both will, that is why I contacted you for this journey," Aphrodite told Kagome as she placed a hand on Kagome's forearm, 'and for another reason also,' she thought.

As soon as the Goddess of Love touched her arm, Kagome felt a light shock go throughout her whole body. 'What the hell was that,' she thought, 'I never noticed before, but her aura feels more soothing than it has when she just arrived.' Bowing to the goddess, "u-until tomorrow," Kagome replied while leaving to her room.

*****END FLASHBACK*****

Kagome approached her room and flopped on her bed. The day has gone by pretty quickly with the 'incident' with Sesshomaru and the conjuring. She still could not get over the feeling that went through her when Aphrodite touched her. Her body tingled all over. Lying in bed, Kagome let sleep overtake her.

****Dream Sequence (Flashback) ****

They had finally defeated the evil hanyou Naraku, and the battlefield was almost destroyed. Kagome was barely standing with the Shikon no Tama clutched to her chest, for she had deep cuts on all of her body. She was all out of breath, and on the brink of tears as she watched her first love, Inuyasha, cradle his beloved Kikyo.

Kagome put her differences aside with Kikyo as they both finished the killing blow towards Naraku. The fight was a hard one to accomplish, but they all won at the end.

No one on their team died, but they all were seriously wounded, all except for Lord Sesshomaru of course. The taiyoukai only had a few scratches here and there, but other than that he was fine. Since his work was completed, he decided to leave and return to his ward, Rin. For he knew she would be very worried.

Kouga was lying on the ground unconscious as Ginta and Hakkaku tended to his wounds. He had a whole through his side that the evil hanyou pierced with his tentacles, as well as a few gashes on his arms and legs. Ginta and Hakkaku did all they could to stop his bleeding, because even a demon could not live with the serious injuries Kouga sustained in the fighting, if they were not treated as soon as possible.

Kagome glanced over to Sango who was not only treating Miroku's wounds, but Kirara, and Shippo's also. Before Kagome could go over to help Sango, she made a wish on the jewel and watched how Kikyo's body began to glow a bright pink. As the light died down, Kikyo's skin color was back to being as peachy as before, and her heart began to beat once more. All of Inuyasha's attention was only going to Kikyo, and did not see the sad expression that was upon Kagome's face.

Kagome did not want to ruin his happy moment, so she quickly sad a quick goodbye to the others and ran for the bone eater's well…

*****END*****

After that painful memory, Kagome shot up from her slumber with tears sliding down her cheeks. "Why am I crying, I should have been over this some years ago," she whispered to herself. Removing herself from the bed, she decided a walk would do her some justice. Slipping on her slippers she leaves her room for a midnight walk.

It was passed midnight and Kagome did not know where she was heading, but at the moment she did not care. Glancing around the hall she was walking in, she began to get a feeling that she has seen it before, but could not put her finger upon it. That's until she came face to face with a large double door, "Oh no, this is Sesshomaru's bedchambers," she whispered to herself. Then she remembered of the encounter she had with him in his room, which brought a slight arousal from her person. Then became enraged when she thought how he touched her body in the hot springswithout her permission. Just as she was about to storm back towards her room, she received an idea in her head.

Walking up to the doors, she slowly turns the knob careful to not make a sound. Pushing the door open slowly, she tries to peek in, but unfortunately she could not really see anything. With the door slightly opened a little more, she slips through the little opening she made for herself quietly. When Kagome finally squeezed herself within the room, she closed the door behind and it closed with a 'click.' Holding her breath, she glanced at the figure in the bed, which did not make a move, so the miko felt she was safe for the moment.

The room had a faint glow by a candle that was nestled on the desk by the left side of Sesshomaru's bed. Creeping over to his lying form, she watches as he sleeps. 'He has a peaceful look on his face while he sleeps,' she thought. Before she knew it, her hand was inching towards his face and began to trace his magenta stripes lightly. Removing her fingers from his stripes, she heads for the crescent moon adorned on his forehead.

As she finished adorning his face, she moved towards his chest. Lightly tracing her fingertips across his built form, she could not help the hot feeling she felt in her lower stomach. She loved the way his body was formed and how his skin felt under her fingers. Just when she was about to move the sheet from his hips, she was pinned on the bed with his body lying between her legs and arms above her head.

"Like what you felt, little miko," the taiyoukai asked.
