[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Kagome was elated.

‘Yokatta, he is awake!’

She nuzzled Sesshoumaru, the tears gathering in her eyes, and whispered, “I missed you. I was so scared you were lost forever from me.”

Sesshoumaru straightened his shoulders, yet allowed her to nuzzle him, relishing her unique scent. He had missed her desperately, but would not show it.

“Is it true that five hundred years have passed?” he asked.

“Hai, koiishi,” she replied, and sat back, noticing his normal façade returning.

“I will need books and any material so I may catch up,” he requested.

“There is a whole library awaiting your perusal. I have added to the collection you had before,” Shippou replied.

Inu Yasha groaned in the corner and Shippou secured him upright.

“Kuso, that took a lot out of me,” Inu Yasha said, his voice thick with exhaustion.

“Rest, brother. I will go seek out the bitch soon to alleviate your problems. When I do so, I will give you some of my potent blood. It should destroy the illness in your lungs,” Sesshoumaru said.

“No, Sesshoumaru. I am barely hanging on here. I have aged rapidly and I do not want a prolonged life in the current form I am in. It is bad enough I regret a lot of things and bad enough I have had to deal with this for over ten years now. I just want to rest. Everything hurts,” Inu Yasha admitted, half wheezing.

Kagome sobbed silently at Sesshoumaru’s side for Inu Yasha. It was hard to see him admit his weakness, especially in front of his brother whom had been a former enemy most of his virile years.

“We will have a youkai healer to watch you in the estate,” Shippou told Inu Yasha. “You won’t like it, but please, for your sake please accept it. I have always regarded you like you were my father and it tears me apart to see you this way. Rin has seen you as a another father to her when Lord Sesshoumaru had disappeared. We are here with you to the end.”

“Keh, no need to get all fuckin’ mushy,” Inu Yasha half grinned. “Oi, Kagome, quit bawling over there and give me a hug. I swear you’re a cry baby.”

Kagome glared at him and jumped at him, tackling him in the backseat, “You know, you’re such a jerk!”

“You better believe it, wench,” he smirked and kissed her on the cheek.

Kagome returned to her seat next to Sesshoumaru and cuddled up to the taiyoukai. He did not move to return her affection, but inside his beast clamoured for attention, wanting to return her love. It was hard as it had always been instilled in his training as he grew up that displaying public affection was not allowed for a demon lord. It seemed bogus to continue such behaviour, but he had not known any other way to act, as that was what he had been groomed to do. That, and the fact that he had been itching to see her for a long time.

The limousine pulled into a gated fence and through. The fence was high and made of metal, not allowing the outside to look within. As the vehicle passed through, Kagome saw the buildings were traditional and much like the older buildings on her shrine. A few youkai guards stood alert at the bottom of the steps of the main house. Jaken parked the car and scampered to the door to allow them out, but Inu Yasha beat him to it and knocked the old toad out with the door.

“Shall I get the wheelchair, koiishi?” Kagome asked Sesshoumaru.

“No, that contraption is no longer necessary,” he replied and moved out of the limo.

Two women greeted them at the door. Kagome noticed that both were inu hanyou but with blonde hair like Izumi.

“Step aside my girls, I will escort our long awaited master around,” Izumi appeared.

Kagome ran to Izumi and hugged her, “Izumi! I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

“Lady Kagome, what an honour! I heard you were still around,” Izumi replied and then regained her composure.

“Are those yours?” Kagome asked, referring to the twin hanyou.

“Of course. We can discuss it later. For now, follow me and I will show you around,” she answered and turned heel.

Kagome and Sesshoumaru followed behind.

Kagome was still feeling like everything was so surreal and felt the familiar prick of tears in the corner of her eyes.

‘Sesshoumaru is by my side again.’

Sesshoumaru sensed her turmoil and wrapped an arm around her waist, then leaned to her eat to whisper, “This Sesshoumaru may have to take a rain check on the tour and go straight to the bedroom.”

Kagome quirked her eyebrow and looked at him blushing.

‘Well, that was certainly not expected. What a horn dog!’ she joked dryly though admitted she was a bit aroused.

Kagome heard a cough and directed her attention, noticing that Izumi had stopped and was blushing.

“Um, yeah, I think I will point the way where you want to go,” she stated. “Go down this hall, take a left at the end and it will go directly to your chambers. Good day.”

No sooner than Izumi had disappeared, Kagome found herself thrown over Sesshoumaru’s shoulder and her ass slapped. She yelped as he ran down the hall.

“Eager?” Kagome called out amusingly.

“Quite,” he smirked, turning the corner. “I am more focused on getting you naked and fucking you raw.”

Kagome could feel herself get wet, “Well, well, quite the dirty minded youkai, my lord?”

He threw her on the bed and growled, “I’ve been waiting a long time for this, Kagome. Will you accept this Sesshoumaru as your mate?”

Kagome smiled and replied, “Now that’s the stupidest question on Earth. I have accepted you for a long time and now we have nothing in the way.”

“Drop your concealment, koi. I wish to look upon you in your humanoid form,” he purred.

She closed her eyes and felt the warm rush of her power taking her spell away.

In an instant, she was pulled to her feet, and Sesshoumaru ran his hands over her until he pulled her face to his with his hands. Their lips only centimeters away from each other as amber eyes clashed with blue- grey. Kagome trembled under his penetrating gaze and it was then that he closed the distanced. Kagome sighed contently as his soft yet firm lips slide across hers.

This is what she had been waiting and dreaming of for so long. This is what he had been waiting and dreaming for even longer. The years apart melted away in one kiss as he molded his lips to hers, becoming more fervent as she opened her mouth to welcome his eager tongue. He groaned as their tongues clashed and danced and he could not remember a kiss in his immortal life that was better. He did not want to compare. She was more than anything he had ever wanted. She was the key to his power. The conquest for power was no longer important. The power of love had settled itself in the form of the miko inu youkai before him.

He dragged one claw down upon her sweater, effectively ripping it without breaking contact with her succulent lips. He helped her shrug out of the now useless item of clothing and then froze.

“Stop!” he heard a voice call out and the door to his chambers flew off the hinges, spreading wooden splinters and dust all over.

Both Kagome and Sesshoumaru growled. Kagome covered her chest, and Sesshoumaru whipped his shirt up and over his head, then handed it to Kagome. She accepted it, hurriedly pulled it on.

“You dare interrupt the mating of this Sesshoumaru,” he roared.

The only thing that kept him back was Kagome. Although she was seething for the same reason, she did not want to see Sesshoumaru go berserk.

“Hai. Lady Kagome is to be escorted out of the estate,” the youkai said, his voice heavy with an Italian accent.

The youkai who addressed them was dressed in a suit and had unruly yet curly blonde hair and violet eyes.

“Why?” Kagome spoke out.

The youkai kneeled, “Forgive me, my lady. This Lucius is in charge of upholding your honour.”

“Well, as you can see, I am consenting with my intended to relinquish that very honour and become his mate,” Kagome growled, becoming frustrated.

“You do not know, my lady?” the youkai asked, quite confusedly.

“Know what? Tell me as I am clueless. I live in a shrine. I know nothing of modern youkai politics,” she glared.

“You did not notice your symbol change,” the youkai pointed out.

“I wear a concealment day and night, buddy,” she gritted out. “Why the hell should I notice?”

Sesshoumaru reached out and brushed her bangs aside to reveal her forehead where her sun should be, signifying her as Hime of the Eastern Lands. His eyes widened and he let her go, stepping back to a distance that she felt saddened.

“What? There is a sun on my forehead. So what! Apparently, that has always been there when the spell my father placed had broke,” she said, becoming hysterical, noticing the silence. “Will someone tell me what is going on?”

From the doorway, entered her father, Ayu. She had not seen him since the ball in Sengoku Jidai.

“The sun is no longer there, my daughter. It is a star, a golden star. You are the Hime of the Eastern Lands, but were also heir to the Youkai throne. My sister has died, leaving no heirs. You are it,” he calmly stated.

“And this is a problem?” Kagome asked, still confused, crossing one arm over her chest, and the other propped on it as she placed her fingers on her nose between her eyebrows to alleviate the oncoming headache she was not relishing to have.

“Though Lord Sesshoumaru is your intended, you have no choice. The youkai council, which young Lord Lucius is a part of, has made it so that you are paired up with the strongest youkai. Lord Sesshoumaru’s claim is null and void. If he wishes to pursue your hand, he will have to challenge your suitors. You will remain pure during this time. Lord Lucius will be your personal guard and you will be escorted to your new home. I have tried to avoid this since I noticed your youkai signature re-appear on this side of the well, my daughter,” Ayu sighed out.

“No, I refuse. Give the title to someone else,” she growled out.

“Koi, this title is an honour by Kami, passed down from one strong demoness to another. I was not aware of this, but I assure you I will challenge any suitor that comes your way. For now, perhaps it is wise. This Sesshoumaru admits being impulsive so soon and has business to take care of before we can be together,” he replied, his face calm, yet his eyes flashing red, revealing that he was on the brink of loosing control.

Kagome walk towards him to embrace him so she could calm him down, but instead was jerked back by the yellow haired Lucius and felt pain spread throughout the back of her head. The last thing she saw was her father restraining Sesshoumaru who had lost control, his eyes a bright crimson.

“Kagome!!!!!!!” Sesshoumaru roared and she saw and heard nothing more.
