A/N: Thank you all for the great reviews. Sorry that I have not posted as I should; I am not feeling too well. I hope you enjoy this chapter. ( ^ . ^ )

Chapter 12:

Miroku has always been the calm and collected member in the tachi and Inuyasha has always been the pig headed and irrational one of them all. Even with the news he has heard from Kouga about Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru, he still remained calm, but he was also shocked at the same time. He tried to stop Inuyasha from screaming profanities in front of the goddess herself, but to no avail; he could not stop him.

Even though Inuyasha is now mated to Kikyo, he still has some feelings for Kagome and he hated the fact that Kagome will be with his brother of all people. He did not like it one bit. The half-breed knew he was being selfish, but he preferred Kagome to not be with anyone and always look at him as her other half.

Who would have thought Kagome would be interested in the ice lord himself; let alone he in her. Well he is a male after all. Not only was the miko and demon lord a shock, but meeting the Goddess of Love herself was beyond that. Hearing her confirm Kouga accusations amazed them all.

"Stop this nonsense immediately," Aphrodite bellowed at Inuyasha as she pointed towards him. "You have chosen another and Kagome is destined to your brother. You have no say in the matter. Are you really that selfish to want another when you already mated to someone else? Keep those thoughts in your head and you will sure be alone. "

The hanyou could not say anything because he knew it to be true. He had always loved Kikyo; she was his first love. He also began to love Kagome throughout their journey together, but Kikyo would always become first. He was happy that Kikyo became alive once more, but deep down when he found out that Kagome had went back home; a piece of him left also. He did not want her to leave; he had always hoped that he could have them both.

"Enough of that matter for now. The reason I have come upon you is to inform you that a new battle is sure to come. When Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru send for your help, you will accept. If you do not, then this world and all your loved ones will be destroyed," the goddess told them as she disappeared once again.

"Could that be the new journey Kagome told us about," Miroku asked.

"Who knows," Inuyasha responded, "but I am going to find out."

"Let's inform the women first and then set off to the Western Lands," Miroku said and then turned to Kouga. "Kouga, are you staying here or leaving,"

"As much as I would love to beat the shit out of dog breath, I must take my leave," he replied and went off in his run leaving dust behind. 'Why Kagome did not speak to me about why she came here,' he pondered then smacked himself on the head. 'I was too busy fighting with Sesshomaru and calling her my woman.' "I hope I don't get my head cut off when I arrive there once again."

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

Kagome sat at the conference table quietly and let Sesshomaru and the other lords commence in their talking. They were only speaking about updating their alliance, which did not need any changes, and other little things. She kept getting the feeling that she was being watch and every time she glanced at the Eastern Lord; his eyes was always plastered on her. 'What could he be thinking,' she thought, 'why does he keep staring at me?' She tried her best not to become agitated and nervous and she thanked Lord Daichi mentally for asking her a question.

"So Shikon Miko," the Northern Lord called to her, "you are the one who defeated the evil hanyou, Naraku," he asked.

"Yes," she clarified, "that would be me. I also had the help of Inuyasha, a taijiya, a wolf prince, and a monk," she informed him.

"Sesshomaru's half-brother," he asked with a brow raised, "how is that stubborn boy doing?"

"As far as I know he is now mated and has two kids and one on the way."

Just as Lord Daichi was about to respond, Lord Kurai decided to interrupt and slam his hands onto the table. "There's no way a weak mortal such as her defeated Naraku." He was pissed that a weak mortal defeated Naraku; he just could not believe it. He didn't like the fact that the other lords and ladies were taking a liking to her. What even made him angrier was that he could not figure out what made her so different from other humans. 'I will find out, one way or another,' he vowed silently.

"Lord Kurai," the Southern Lord growled, "control yourself."

"I will not," he bellowed, "and I will not stay here any longer with this human stench that plagues this castle. I have other matters that I need to take care of."

Kagome and Sesshomaru tried their best to keep their anger down as they watched and listened to Kurai talk rudely about the miko. They both knew who the Eastern Lord really is, and engaging in a fight with him would be suicide at the moment. Throughout the whole ordeal they both sat there silently taking in the frustration and the anger that kept increasing.

When the Eastern Lord left, Kagome's anger turned into worry. 'Aphrodite,' she thought and excused herself immediately and went to check on said person. Kagome ran though the castle to reach her destination and ignored the shock gazes that were thrown at her. She was scared for the goddess and hoped that nothing had happened to her. Kagome could feel that connection grow stronger and she just could not understand why. As she approached the private library, she quickly opened the door and ran in.

"What is wrong dear," Aphrodite asked as she hugged Kagome.

"H-Hades i-is the Eastern Lord," she replied. "I don't know why I could see through his disguise, but I was able to. Sesshomaru and I did not imply that we know his true appearance. He just left and I thought he found out you were here."

"I felt his presence," the goddess informed the miko. "It is not time for the battle, but it will come soon. I think it is time that we train."

"I agree," Sesshomaru said as he walked into the room. "We will begin in one hour. The lords and ladies have gone to their rooms and will be joining us for the evening meal," he said as he glanced at Kagome, "I suggest you dress in proper clothing for the training."

He nodded his head towards Aphrodite and went to his chambers to change as well. Sesshomaru has been on edge ever since Kagome had told him that Lord Kurai was actually Hades. The news had surprised him, but when he thought about it he knew something was amiss with said person. He knows the God of the Underworld will be a tough opponent to defeat. 'Yes, we will need immense training.'

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

Kagome was exhausted and did not really want to attend dinner, but as the 'potential mate' she was obligated to do so. Her body was sore from pushing over her limit due to trying to keep up with Sesshomaru. She knew sparring with the demon lord would be tough, but it was beyond that. It was well worth it if they had any chance in defeating Hades.

"Come in," Kagome said as she finished placing pins in her hair.

"Are you ready for dinner," Sesshomaru questioned as he walked into the room.

"Yes," Kagome replied tiredly as she walked over towards him.

Sesshomaru and the Miko quietly went to the dining hall for their nightly meal with their guests. Sesshomaru smirked inwardly all the way there, 'tonight Miko, you shall be mine.'

The demon lord could not get Kagome out of his mind since their training. He almost lost himself when he saw what Kagome was wearing and his beast was clawing to get out of his chains to take her then and there. The short shorts that showed off her perfect derriere and her long creamy legs. The pink sports bra that hugged her full rounded breasts and gave him a great view of her cleavage; he wished that those were his hands cupping them. He did not know what her strange contraptions were, but at the moment he did not care. He believed that she was teasing him with her body and tonight he would be sure to get him a taste.

As they both reached their destination, Sesshomaru stored his earlier thoughts for later and engaged in with talking with the others. The day had him and Kagome on edge with the presence of Hades, but when he left it gave them a little ease.

"Lady Kagome, it is very odd for a human to have as much knowledge as you have; where exactly are you from," the Southern Lady, Asayo, questioned.

"I am from the future," she informed, "500 years to be exact."

"And are everyone from your time educated," the Southern Lord, Fumito asked.

"Very much so; every human in my time are considered equal and are educated from a young age," she responded as she took a sip of her drink.

"Hmm this is very interesting. Sesshomaru my boy, you have caught you a rare one indeed," Lord Daichi announced as his mate, Etsuko, agreed with him.

The dinner had gone fairly well and Kagome interacted with each of their guess just as a real mate should. They all seemed to like the Miko and were very fond of her. Sesshomaru was very proud of the way Kagome held her own today and the way she fought him shocked him as well. No one has ever stayed long in sparring with him, but she on the other hand has. As he thought back at the training, he decided that it was time to retire for the evening.

"My servants will escort you to your rooms, my mate-to-be and I have a huge day ahead of us," he informed the others and with their nods he left with Kagome on his arm.

Kagome was somewhat disappointed to leave the guests; she truly enjoyed chatting with them. The Miko also thought that it was odd to leave early, but at the same time thankful. Kagome was so engrossed in her thoughts that she did not realize that Sesshomaru was not taking her towards her bedchambers.

As they approached a door that was not hers, Kagome turned to Sesshomaru to see a smirk adorning his face. "Lord Sesshomaru, this is not my room."

"I know. It is accustomed for potential mates to sleep together and since the other lords are here," he paused as his smirk widened, "you must sleep within my chambers until they leave."

Kagome flushed as he told her the news, but then began to get angry, "you never told me of this," she said as she poked him his chest.

He chuckled, "I did in a way."

"I am sure I would have remembered this sort of information Sesshomaru," she growled which amused him even more.

"Did I not say that when the other moments come to issue, then I will let you know what is to be done next," he told her as he opened the door for her.
