When I started this chapter, I wasn't planning to make it this dramatic, honest.

 

*******************

 

Kagome cried out loudly as she ground herself atop Koga's erection. Tossing her head back in pleasure, a throaty moan escaped her lips as she rolled her hips against him. Below her, he grunted in effort, his hands gripping her sides to help her keep balance as he furiously bucked up against her. Sex with Koga was no less amazing than it always was, but Kagome couldn't help but be slightly detached. It had been two weeks since her mother had found out about the true extent of her daughters sex life. Discussing it with Inuyasha and Kikyo helped, but only marginally. Neither could give any advice on how to proceed with her mother other than to wait and hope for the best. Both suggested that perhaps it would be best if they reigned in their activities for a time, keeping things between the three of them. Kagome knew it was probably the best thing to do considering the situation, but they only had one more quarter of college left. After that, she would marry Inuyasha and the two would start their life together - the three of them if Kikyo decided to continue her relationship with them. Sango and Miroku would go wherever their work took them. They had all their lives to spend with each other. Time was limited with their friends.

 

“Kagome, I'm going to cum,” Koga gasped, bringing Kagome's thoughts back to the task at hand. She didn't respond verbally, continuing her rocking motion as she made short hops atop him. Slowing to a stop, she sat silently as he made a few feeble thrusts upward into her as he came, launching jet after jet of his hot seed into her. Panting for breath, she waited until his orgasm passed before dismounting him, falling to the bed beside him. A few minutes of silence passed before he rolled to his side, propping himself up with an elbow to look at her. “You okay?”

 

“Hmm?” she asked, focusing her attention on him after letting it wander.

 

“Well, you seem - distant.”

 

“I do?”

 

“A little,” he said with his famous grin. “You aren't getting bored with me are you?”

 

A thin smile touched Kagome's lips. “No. Sorry, but I've had a lot on my mind lately. Family issues,” she added after a pause, her mind briefly wondering back several days to her mother's visit.

 

Koga looked surprised. “Inuyasha?”

 

“No, things are perfect with Inuyasha.” For a second, she could have sworn Koga looked disappointed.

 

“I see.” His grin was back. “I'm glad I'm not becoming a bore. I really do enjoy our time together.”

 

“As do I,” she said, being honest. Despite their relationship starting by dubious means, Kagome was glad that Koga had done what he did. She felt it odd she thought that way considering how much drama it had caused at the time. Now, sleeping with Koga had become just another normal activity for her. It was amazing to think back on how much had changed over the last several months. What had started as a simple fascination for watching Inuyasha with other women, things had evolved into an open relationship. Inuyasha had done a lot of changing himself, especially after she started sleeping with Koga. She could remember promising him that Miroku would be the only other man she shared a bed with. At the time, any more than two men seemed ridiculous. When Koga came into the picture and after Inuyasha had time to think on the situation, he came to the realization that it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. While he never told her outright, he had dropped numerous hints over the months that he was open to her being with other men so long as she protected herself. Demons were a grey area. She knew Inuyasha wasn't all that comfortable with Koga not using a condom with her, but he didn't say anything about it; probably because he never bothered using them himself.

 

“I hear you're graduating this quarter.”

 

“That's right,” she answered, surprised he knew that. She couldn't remember telling him she was. She would have remembered if she had, it wasn't like they did a lot of talking when they were together. “How did you know?”

 

“Sango mentioned it.”

 

“Sango still comes here?” Kagome knew Sango would come to Koga for as long as she could. She loved her time with whom she called, to Miroku's dismay, the `sex god.' What she was surprised about was Koga still slept with her. He wasn't known for keeping long term interest in a woman. The fact he was still obsessing over Kagome was a miracle all its own. She still didn't know if she should be disturbed by his interest in her, or flattered she managed to keep his attention this long.

 

“Of course.” He smiled. “What, did you think I bored with her and stopped seeing her?”

 

“Honestly? Yes.”

 

“Well, I must admit that Sango doesn't quite live up to your charms, but she is a unique woman.” His smile widened. “Not to mention her skills in bed rival yours.”

 

Kagome frowned. She never really thought of herself as being particularly skilled in bed, especially compared with the people she shared her bed with. Koga, Inuyasha, and even Miroku were all wonderful in that department. “Thanks, I guess,” she mumbled, not quite sure what to say.

 

“So what are your plans after graduating?”

 

Kagome shrugged as she rested her hands atop her bare stomach. “Inuyasha has some job offers he's considering. Depending on how things go, we are going to move to where he gets a job. For the most part, I'll be planning our wedding and looking for a job of my own in the area.”

 

He sighed, letting himself fall onto his back. “I'm really going to miss you Kagome.”

 

She grinned. “Oh, I'm sure you'll have plenty of women to help you forget all about me.”

 

Koga's head rolled over to look at her. “That won't happen. I can't forget about you. You are an amazing woman, one without equal. Kagome, I really do love you.”

 

She didn't immediately answer. She didn't know how to. It wasn't the first time he had confessed his love for her, but most of them had been in a teasing tone. This time, he really was serious, or at least, he thought he was. Kagome knew he wasn't in love with her, at least, not as she knew love. What he loved was his lust for her. He was infatuated with her body and confusing it for feelings for her as a person. He hardly knew her more than just another pair of legs spread before him - granted, she was a great pair of legs, but legs none the less. No matter how mindboggling great the sex was, Kagome didn't want to be seen as just a pair of legs to keep him company.

 

“Koga—”

 

“No, I know you don't feel the same way. I just needed to let you know.” Giving him a smile, she patted his arm to show him she understood before rolling off the bed. “You're leaving already?” he asked, disappointed as she stood and began collecting her clothes.

 

“Yeah, Inuyasha wanted me home early today,” she said as slipped on her bra and pulled up her panties. It took her a few seconds to adjust her bra so it was comfortable. She knew by his expression that he wanted to know why, but she remained silent, pretending not to notice. It wasn't that she was keeping things secret from him. If he asked, she would tell him the truth. Saturday was when she joined Miroku and Inuyasha in bed. But he didn't ask, content with watching her dress. “Besides,” she continued with a knowing grin. “You have other guests to entertain tonight.”

 

He frowned. “They can wait.”

 

She pulled her jeans up, buckling her belt before pulling her tight shirt on over her head. Smoothing some of the wrinkles from her shirt, she patted her pockets to make sure her things were inside. Fishing her cell phone from its pocket, she took a quick peek at the time. She was surprised to find a voicemail from her mother waiting for her. Pink brushed her cheeks at the thought of what she had been doing when her mother called. Guilt made her chest and shoulders feel heavy. Kagome knew it was her right to live life how she wanted, but at the same time, she didn't want it to come between her relationship with her mother. Things had been hazy when they separated last time. She really wanted to clear things up. She wasn't expecting her mother to accept the life she was living, but she wanted to make her mother see that she wasn't a bad person.

 

“Something wrong?” Koga asked, snapping Kagome out of her reverie.

 

“Huh? What?” she asked, looking up. She hadn't realized she had been staring at her phone. “Oh, no, I just got a message is all.” He got to his feet, moving over towards her. She quickly scooted for the door before he could get too close. The suspense of her mother's message was making her stomach queasy. “Thanks Koga. I had a really great time. I'll see you in a couple of days, okay?”

 

“Uh, okay,” he said, not having time to say much more as she darted out the door. She ignored the stares of the two women that waited outside as she made for the door, calling her voicemail at the same time. She was outside when she heard her mother's voice.

 

“Kagome, I was hoping to talk to you today. I've had time to think things through and - well.” There was a heavy sigh. “We need to talk in person - tonight if possible. Call me when you get this. Oh, and make sure your - friend - is available as well. I would like to meet her.” Kagome felt like her stomach was doing flips as she listened to the message. She listened to it twice more to make sure she was hearing what she thought she was. Kagome was elated that her mother wanted to meet with her. She had been afraid her mother would simply never talk to her again. Still she couldn't help but worry about the end of her mother's message.

 

My god, Kagome thought, feeling her heart race. She wants to meet Kikyo.

 

*******************

 

At her mother's insistence, they met at a small diner by the station. Kagome could tell that Kikyo was every bit as anxious as she was. Kagome had heard nothing but `what-ifs' all the way here and in the few minutes they had alone waiting for her mother to show up. Kagome managed to calm her by resting her hand over Kikyo's, giving it a reassuring squeeze and a smile to match it. She seemed to calm down a little after that.

 

Her mother appeared at the door. Kagome waved her over. As she approached, Kagome knew she was sizing Kikyo up, her eyes running over her body not concealed by the table. She stopped next to the table, looking down on her. “So you must be Kikyo. I've heard all about you,” her mother said, voice flat. Kagome didn't think her mother meant to make it sound intimidating, but it certainly ended up that way.

 

“Ms. Higurashi, it's nice to finally meet you,” Kikyo replied meekly as Kagome's mother took her seat across from them. The waitress appeared before anyone could say anything else. She wandered off after getting their drink orders.

 

Her mother's eyes rested on Kikyo. “So you're the mistress of my daughter's husband.” Kagome could see Kikyo flinch out of the corner of her eye.

 

“Mom!” Kagome said angrily.

 

“What? It's true isn't it?” her mother asked, turning her attention to her.

 

“She's my lover too,” Kagome answered heatedly.

 

Her mother looked genuinely surprised. “Y-you mean you two…” She didn't finish, her face reddening at what was left unsaid.

 

“F-from time to time,” Kikyo answered, her face reddening.

 

“Inuyasha isn't there all the time,” Kagome said, feeling her face heat as well.

 

“You do this with Sango as well?” her mother hissed, voice low as she leaned forward. Both Kagome and Kikyo nodded. Sighing, her mother relaxed back in her seat, sighing deeply. “I remember you mentioning something about being with them, but I never expected you were actually with them.”

 

“Mom—” Kagome started, her voice soft. Her mother silenced her with a hand.

 

“No, that's quite alright. You don't need to explain yourself.” Kagome clenched her mouth shut, not liking not being able to explain herself. Not that she really expected to be able to. Her mother was silent for a long time. The waitress returned with their drinks and took their food orders. Kagome and Kikyo sipped idly at their drinks, waiting for her mother to continue. “Kagome.” She jumped at the sound of her mother's voice. “I told you earlier that as an adult, you have a right to make your own decisions in life.”

 

“I remember,” Kagome said softly with a nod.

 

“And you as well,” her mother said, glancing over to Kikyo. “You can choose to live life as you want. If this is the life you want, then I have no right to try to stop you.”

 

Smiling, Kagome felt her shoulders relax slightly. “Thank you Mom—”

 

“I'm not finished.” Kagome's teeth clicked loudly as she snapped her mouth shut. “That said; I want to warn you about the - difficulty - in choosing to live this way.” Her eyes focused on Kagome. “I'm going to tell you a little about my sex life. I figure it's only fair since I had to sit through yours.” Kagome could only nod, not trusting herself to open her mouth. She knew she was in for an uncomfortable story, but she suddenly had a new understanding of how her mother must have felt listening to her talk about what she was doing.

 

“Back when I was your age, I lived with two of my best friends. One was your father; the other was a mutual friend. The three of us had known each other for years. The three of us were close.” Her mother paused to take a sip of her drink, shifting uncomfortably, distressed about revealing a past she had keep secret from her daughter. “How our relationship started isn't important, only that we were in one - the three of us. It was innocent enough. It was just one or the other at the beginning, but it being both of them eventually became an everyday event. At first, it was just about the sex and feeling good. I don't know when our emotions became involved, only that they inevitably did.” She paused to collect her thoughts. “It's horrifying, watching the men you love fight one another, knowing full well it was because of you. They both wanted something more than the simple friendship I had with them. They wanted me to choose one or the other. It was impossible for me, I loved them both. I just wanted things to be how they were before, the three of us.” Her voice quivered as she struggled to hold back tears. “When they realized I wasn't going to choose one, they backed off. A few weeks later, both were once more joining me in bed. I was overjoyed that things had gone back to how they once were - or so I had thought.”

 

“They had only stopped their fighting in front of me. Behind my back, their war had only intensified. Every day, I drove a wedge farther between their friendship.” Her watering eyes locked on Kagome's. “It was about three months later I discovered I was pregnant with you. It wasn't that unusual to spend the night alone with one or the other, only one night, your father's condom broke. We didn't realize it until after he… well you know how that works,” she said, her face reddening. “At first, we didn't think too much of it. It had happened a few times before with both of them. I will never forget the look on his face when we told him. It was a look of betrayal. He thought I had betrayed him, choosing your father and playing him for a fool.” A tear escaped, running down her cheek. “He killed himself a few days later.”

 

Kagome felt a knot form in her throat as she fought back tears. Beside her, Kikyo was doing the same.

 

“You're father had tried to explain what had happened, but he never did believe him. Months of bitter fighting had destroyed the trust they once shared. Your father… he was never quite the same after that. I'm sure I wasn't either, but I just remember the look your father got whenever we went to bed after that. It was almost as if he expected him to rush through the door an join us. I tried my best to turn his love and attention on me and only me, but I always felt he saw our love as incomplete.”

 

“Mom, I- I don't know what to say,” Kagome finally managed to choke out. She hadn't had a clue. From what she could remember of her father, he and her mom always seemed to be sickeningly in love.

 

Her mother took a deep breath, wiping the tears from her eyes. “You don't have to say anything. What's in the past is past. What I want is for you to be careful - all three of you. I'm not saying what happened to me will happen to you; it's just that when you told me about what you were doing, it reminded me of what happened.” Her mother sighed. “When I said I didn't approve, I was letting my past speak for me. If this is the life you want, I will support you.”

 

“Mom!” Kagome cried out, reaching across the table to wrap her mother in a hug. Surprised, her mother returned it briefly. Kagome didn't care if they were making a scene, she was ecstatic. What had happened to her mother and father was tragic. She was starting to give up on the possibility that her mother would ever come to terms with her relationship with Inuyasha and Kikyo, let alone accept it.

 

When her mother finally managed to peel her daughter away, she looked embarrassed, her face red. Any evidence of her tears was quickly fading. “Just… do me a favor.”

 

“Anything!” Kagome bubbled happily.

 

Her mother gave a hurt smile. “Spare me details unless you need my advice. I'm still trying to come to terms with my daughter having a more active sex life in half a year than I have in my entire life.”

 

“Agreed.” And just like that, the tension cleared. To Kagome's added joy, Kikyo and her mother got along wonderfully. In the span of a few hours, her mother had gained another daughter. Kagome knew that her relationship with Inuyasha and Kikyo wasn't going to be easy, but now she had confidence they would work through any troubles they encountered.

Good news! This was the last drama chapter I have planned! It should be smooth sailing from here on out! I know exactly how I'm going to end it, have since I started writing. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say it's going to be different. (In my mind that is. Can't say it will or will not surprise anyone else.)

 

Thanks for the reviews! It means a lot to hear from everyone reading! I'm glad some people are enjoying the story.
