Relationship Understandings
Kagome was not very talkative the rest of the day. Whenever anyone asked her how she was or what was wrong, all she would say was that she was fine, just thinking.
When Kagome arrived at her new home, she wondered what she would do when Sesshoumaru came home from baseball practice. It was very unlike Kagome to dwell on something Yura said. However, the fact was that she was, and that was part of what was bugging her on top of everything else.
Walking into the bedroom she shared with Sesshoumaru, Kagome sighed in relaxation as their combined scent hit her nose. Carrying her messenger bag to the bed, she plopped herself on the bed along with the bag. Opening her bag, Kagome set to work on her homework.

Getting dressed in the locker room, Sesshoumaru could not wait to get home to his mate. Seeing his brother hurrying himself out of the locker room, Inuyasha decided to stop him.
"Hey Fluffy! Wait up!" Inuyasha yelled, hurrying to catch up with Sesshoumaru.
Halting his steps, Sesshoumaru turned back toward Inuyasha and waited.
"What is it you want, Inuyasha? I have my mate waiting at home for me," Sesshoumaru told him.
Catching up to Sesshoumaru, the two began to walk towards Sesshoumaru's car.
"Yeah, that's kinda what I wanted to talk about. Before you jump her when you get back, you may want to talk to her. Some stuff was bothering her earlier and you may need to do the mate thing. You know, make it all better," Inuyasha told him.
"When did this occur?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Right before gym today. When you were talkin' to the coach, I was talkin' to her 'cause she looked down," Inuyasha explained.
Sesshoumaru nodded and got into his car, wondering what could be bothering his mate.

Turning to walk to his own car, Inuyasha saw Ayame leaning up against Kouga's vehicle.
Taking out his phone, Inuyasha dialed Kouga's number while walking to his own car.
"Yeah, what do you want, mutt face?" Kouga answered his phone.
"Hey, wolf shit, thought you should know Ayame is waiting for you at your car," Inuyasha said before hanging up, getting to his car and going to see Shiori.
Kouga immediately hurried up and got his stuff to get out of there. Sure enough, when he walked into the parking lot, Ayame was leaning against his car.
"Hey, there, waiting for someone?" Kouga asked playfully.
Smiling, Ayame replied, "Yeah, actually, but apparently he takes longer to get dressed than any girl I know."
Making a gesture as if being injured in the chest, Kouga said, "Ow! That hurts."
Ayame started to laugh at his antics.
Kouga just smiled, watching her, and then asked, "What are you doing here? Not that I don't like it."
Leaning himself against his car next to Ayame, he waited for her answer.
"I was wondering if you could give me a ride home?" Ayame told him.
Turning his head to look at her, Kouga could see her becoming nervous under his gaze. Pulling her chin up to look at him, he gave her a smile.
"Now, why would you give me this honor?" he wondered.
"I wouldn't refer to it as "an honor". It's just giving me a ride home, no big deal. My grandfather doesn't usually let me take the car. If I had enough money I'd just buy my own way of transportation instead of being an annoyance like this," Ayame explained.
"You're wrong; you would never be an annoyance to me. Itisan honor to give you a ride home, for me at least. Ayame, you are my future mate, you will never be considered or could be an annoyance. Now come on, I'll give you a ride. Just hop in the car and tell me how to get there," Kouga told her stroking her cheek, then unlocking his car.
Ayame smiled up at him, got up on her tip-toes, and kissed him on the lips.
Kouga stood there, shocked that she kissed him first. Ayame pulled away from him, looking into his eyes for a reaction. Coming down from shock, Kouga realized she was waiting on him. Kouga swiftly leaned down and captured her lips, causing her to melt and moan. The two began to have a fierce make out session, only to be interrupted by some guys driving by honking.
The two got pulled apart by reality. Kouga's eyes immediately began to bleed red and he began to growl at the males in the car. Realizing that Kouga's beast was coming forward thanks to the males, Ayame did some quick thinking. She quickly began nuzzling her face into Kouga's chest, holding him close.
Kouga stopped his growling, his eyes began to go back to normal, and he looked down at the girl in his arms.
Looking up at Kouga, Ayame asked, "Can we go now, Kouga?"
Kouga and Ayame got into his car and headed to Ayame's house holding hands while he drove.

Walking into his home, Sesshoumaru quickly followed his mate's luscious scent. Practically running up the stairs and slamming open the door, Sesshoumaru found Kagome. She was sitting on her side of the bed, folder in her lap, book in front of her, eyes on him with her eyebrows raised.
"Something wrong?" Kagome asked him.
"Shouldn't that be my question? I heard you had something bothering you today," Sesshoumaru asked, concerned, putting his stuff beside to his desk.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him in their round of questioning.
Sesshoumaru nodded then moved Kagome's book to sit in front of her. Kagome's head began to lower to avoid making eye contact to have this conversation. Sesshoumaru would not let this go and taking his finger under her chin lifted her head to face his.
"What happened today?" Sesshoumaru questioned.
"Yura. What bothers me is that what she said had enough effect to bother me in the first place," Kagome began to confess.
"What happened with Yura? What did she say?" Sesshoumaru insisted to get this out of her.
"She started to talk about you in bed. How needy you two were of the other, sometimes not making it to the bedroom." Kagome told him and, not knowing how to bring up the "I love you" stuff, decided to leave it out for now.
"Kagome, mate, you knew of my past with Yura. How could this be bothering you?" Sesshoumaru began to rub her arms to sooth her.
"Is there more?" He asked feeling like he wasn't getting the entire story.
Kagome nodded in response to his question, not wanting to hear the fact that what Yura said was true.
"What was it?" Sesshoumaru asked, concerned when she just didn't tell him.
"She told me how she was the only person you were ever able to say "I love you" to." Kagome's eyes going down as she spoke, not wanting to look him in the eye.
Sesshoumaru could smell the hurt rolling off of her.
"I did tell her that, Kagome. It was in my past, I can't change that. I don't understand why you are getting upset over something I can't change." Sesshoumaru said trying to understand.
"Think about it, Sess. What happened last night?" Kagome asked him, getting upset.
"We had a great night of mating?" Sesshoumaru half asked half said, while he thought on it.
Breathing in deeply, Kagome realized she needed some space to relax. So, shaking her head in response to his question, she walked to the door.
Reaching the door, Kagome tapped her fingers on the door handle, stopped herself from leaving, and turned back toward Sesshoumaru.
"I said I love you last night, Sess, and all you did was kiss me. You, for some reason, were able to say those 3 words to Yura, but you couldn't say them to me, your mate. That is what is bothering me, Sesshoumaru. Please, don't follow me, I think I need some time to calm myself down," Kagome confessed to him, then turned around and walked out of the room with a silent tear running down her cheek.
Inside the room, the only word to leave his mouth was, "Shit."
3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
It wasn't until after dinner that Sesshoumaru was finally able to get Kagome to talk to him alone. So, sitting outside by the pool in 2 of the lounge chairs was the couple.
"You wanted to talk?" Kagome questioned.
"Kagome, I wanted to talk to you about earlier." Sesshoumaru told her.
"Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that too. I think I over reacted when I blew up, it's just... It was still fresh in my mind and I hadn't had time to calm down," Kagome apologized.
"No, let me explain. First, the only time I said "I love you" to Yura was to get her into bed, in 10th grade. I wanted to wait to say it to you so it wouldn't be in the same circumstances," Sesshoumaru explained.
Kagome felt really bad now for jumping to conclusions. Kagome moved from her seat to sit next to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru smiled softly, put his arm around Kagome, and placed a kiss on the top of her head.
"You know, I do have a question about the other thing Yura mentioned," Kagome said, turning her head to look at him.
"What was that?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"She mentioned that you two couldn't keep your hands to yourselves. She implied that you went at it in public and couldn't always make it to the bedroom, because you were that hot for each other. Were you really that attracted to her? I mean, you usually, even if we're just fooling around, make sure we are in a bedroom," Kagome told him.
Cupping her face in his hand, he replied, "I am more attracted to you, Kagome, than I was ever to Yura. When I was with her, it didn't matter if we made it to the bedroom. With you, I do not want others to get the impression they can have my mate. While with Yura, it was well known that she wasn't with anyone."
Kagome kissed him, stood up and held out her hand for him.
"Come on, Sesshoumaru, let's go make an impression," Kagome said suggestively.
Sesshoumaru stood up to pick Kagome up.
"I don't think I could wait if we walked," he said in explanation as he raced his way up to their room carrying her the whole way.

The next day of school started the same as the day before for Kagome. That is until after 2nd period. Kagome was putting her 2nd period stuff away and taking out her 3rd and 4th period stuff. Closing her locker door, Kagome came face to face with Kagura.
"Hello, Kagome. I need to talk to you. It's about what my brother and Yura are planning."
Seeing Kagome raise an eyebrow in disbelief, she corrected herself, "Okay, my brother is planning, Yura is too stupid to plan anything. Anyways, can we talk?" Kagura asked.
