InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Long Awaited Destiny ❯ Chapter 2

Days seem to just fly by and still no sign of the human girl Rin or Jaken for that matter and Kagome was really starting to wonder if Sesshoumaru would ever tell her why he really brought her to his castle.

 

“Sessy when are you ever going to let me know why you really brought me here to live with you and your pack?” Kagome asked.

 

Sesshoumaru winced at his new nickname Kagome had come up with and stated, “If you want me to take you back to that well so you can go home to never return here just say the word and I will take you.” With that Kagome felt like slapping him as she saw him start to hide behind the mask so she could not see the hurt that she had already seen plastered on his face just moments ago.

 

“Why do you hide like that all I did was to ask you a simple question. If you don't want to answer it that is all you had to say, I am not ready to leave here. I am not ready to leave you.” she blushed as she stated that last comment. Sesshoumaru walked up behind her and embraced her and sweetly whispered in her ear, “You will never know how happy I am to hear you say that, my Lady.” She moaned again as she felt him nibble her ear but also realized that he just called her `his lady'.

 

He took her hand and asked her to follow him that he wanted to show her something spectacular. All the while all Kagome could think of was how well their hands fit one another's, it was a better match than her and Inu Yasha that was for sure. As they approached an elevated cliff he asked, “Close your eyes and trust in me to lead you.” With that Kagome did as she was asked and whispered, “I trust you with all that I am, my Lord.” She didn't think that Sesshoumaru heard her because he didn't react little did she know that he was smiling.

 

When they got to the top of the cliff Sesshoumaru moved behind Kagome and held his hands over her eyes and told her to open her eyes, he leaned his chin on her shoulder as he removed his hands. Kagome gasped as she took in the scenery. The sun was setting on a river valley during the fall so all of the leaves looked to be on fire.

“Its breath taking!” Kagome whispered.

 

“Yes you are” Sesshoumaru whispered back.

 

Kagome asked Sesshoumaru to paint that as a portrait so she would always know what it looked like. The river valley looked as though it was a river of fire with the trees adding to the fire as well. He agreed to paint the portrait, only he had planned to add her standing on the cliff looking at it. To him not even the scenery compared to her beauty.

 

 

It has now been a month since Sesshoumaru stopped Kagome from going home. Rin had come home for a week and a half and then left again to go to school in the nearby village. Kagome enjoyed being with Rin and almost felt like a mother to her. This did not go unnoticed from Sesshoumaru either.

 

Jaken had been in a meeting with the demon lord for an hour now about something that Sesshoumaru had him pick up. Kagome kept hearing bits and pieces of the conversation and heard it was something about a formal event where the other three demon lords would be invited as well as other demons and humans that were close to someone important.

 

Kagome was starting to get really annoyed that she couldn't hear everything when Jaken came flying out of the study cursing himself for having to deliver all of the invitations. “Kagome can you come here for a minute?” Sesshoumaru asked her.

 

Kagome ran into the study excited to hear the news finally.

 

“Kagome I know you are a very smart and intelligent woman. I also believe that you know how I feel towards you and my intentions. Am I right?” Sesshoumaru was trying his best not to blush as he asked her.

 

Kagome was confused and wasn't sure what he meant. “I know you have enjoyed my company since I have been here but I do not know what you mean.” Kagome braced herself because she thought she knew what was coming but didn't want to assume.

 

“Kagome, my Lady, what I am trying to tell you is I have found the woman I wish to mate with. She is a very sweet and sincere woman. She will make a wonderful mother to Rin. But…” Kagome interrupted and asked, “Are you kicking me out, did I do something to offend you my Lord? I can stay and help out as a servant, your future queen won't even know I am here, just please don't send me home. This is my home know, my home in the future is too much for me it feels foreign. Please let me stay please.”

 

Sesshoumaru rushed to the woman who was now crying and embraced her. The demon lord told her, “Please calm down you have misunderstood what I was trying to say. I have found a mate; she is perfect in every aspect. The only problem is that she is human and that during the mating ceremony YOU would be transformed into a demon if you would have me as your mate!” Sesshoumaru kneeled down in front of a very shocked and confused Kagome and pulled out a ring with his family crest on it.

 

“Kagome will you accept the offer, to become the Lady of the Western Land and stay as my mate until the day we die?” A speechless Kagome just nodded her head as she dropped to her knees to embrace her future Lord, mate. At that moment Sesshoumaru had finally done what he had wanted to do since the day he picked her up and brought her to his castle. He embraced her with the most passionate kiss either had ever had.

 

Before either knew it they were laying on a bed in the room adjacent to Sesshoumaru's room *the room originally meant for Kagome*. The minute Sesshoumaru realized that he had carried her to this room he started to pull himself off of her. Kagome tried to pull him back she was enjoying the moment and wasn't ready for it to stop. When her eyes met those of her beloved she gasped as she saw his eyes glow a light pink. “Is everything alright my Love?” Kagome asked as she heard him start to growl.

 

“I should leave now, before I can no longer control myself my Love.” With that Kagome let go of his arm and watched as he went into his room. She got up to check on him when she heard crashing noises and growling coming from his room. In the doorway Kagome peeked in through the cracked door. In the room Sesshoumaru stood in the middle of his room fighting the urge to go back to Kagome and ravage her until he would be content. All of a sudden he rips off his clothes and walks into his bathing area to take a cold bath. Kagome stood in the doorway with a beaming red face as she had just seen everything, and then slowly made her way back to her new chambers.

 

That morning, Kagome wake to find Sesshoumaru bringing her breakfast in bed. He sat on the bed beside her and apologized for the events that had taken place the night before and for whatever noises she might have heard coming from his room, little did he know that she had seen him. “I am ok, and I know that things happen. I am also sorry myself for…” Kagome stopped as she realized she was about to admit to seeing him completely naked in all of his glory.

 

Sesshoumaru asked puzzled, “You are sorry for what my Love?”

 

“…For…not controlling myself either.” Kagome quickly recovered. “So when is our ceremony taking place? Is there anything special I need to know or do?”

 

“Our ceremony will be held next week on the first day of winter. As for what you will wear you look to be the same size my mother was, that is if you care to wear her gown. You already know everything you will need to know, just know that after we mate you will then become a full demon if you give yourself all the way to me that is.” Sesshoumaru stated with a slight hint of fear, he didn't want to scare her off now that he had allowed himself to fall in love, let alone to a human.

 

Sesshoumaru now knew the pain his father felt when he mated with Inu Yasha's mother and she didn't turn into a demon, he knew at that point that she didn't give herself to him all the way, that she didn't fully trust him as her mate. The last thing that Sesshoumaru wanted was for Kagome to do the same thing.

 

Kagome turned and looked at him and said, “Is that why you painted that portrait of me is that what I am to look like afterwards? If so I have no problem wearing your mark, I would be honored to be your Lady, your mate, the Lady of the Western Lands!” With that said Kagome smiled and kissed her soon to be mate firmly on the mouth.
