Chapter 11

 

Yawning and stretching as he walked out of the hurt he had stayed the night in Miroku blinked the remainder of the sleep out of his eyes and quickly locked them on the large structure that housed the taiyoukai and Hoshiko. Looking up at the sky and judging that it was still early morning by the set of the sun the monk started to make his rounds, going about and checking the ofuda's he'd placed around the village the day before, and checking for other signs of youkai activity in the area. Seeing none he entered the forest quickly and collected a handful of wood before heading back to the hut where Sango and the children still slept.

 

“Morning Houshi.” Sango greeted him as she folded up her bedding. “Any signs of the others up yet?”

 

Placing the wood in the fire he pulled out the small box of matches from within his robes that Kagome had given him once and lit it. “No Lady Sango. Sesshoumaru-sama still has that barrier up and by the sounds of it both Inuyasha and Kagome are still asleep. But after what happened last night I don't really blame them.”

 

Pulling out their ramen packs from Kagome's bag she had retrieved from outside the headman's hut Sango smiled at Shippo as the kit rolled over with a sleepy yawn. “By the way, Kouga and the rest of his pack have left for their den while you were out. Kouga said they would meet us back at Keade's village in a few weeks.”

 

Nodding his head in understanding Miroku suddenly stilled as he heard footsteps approaching their hut, then smiled as he heard a familiar feminine giggle.

 

“Oi bouzo! Isn't breakfast ready yet? I'm starving.” Inuyasha grumbled as he entered, receiving an elbow in the ribs from his mate as she followed behind him.

 

“Good morning to you too Inuyasha, Kagome. I hope you two slept well.” Miroku replied in light sarcasm while Sango placed a pot of water on the fire.

 

Taking a seat by the fire the hanyou snorted while he watched his mate tend to a waking Rin and Shippo.

 

“I see that wimpy wolf has turned tail and ran.” Inuyasha growled and sniffed the air.

 

“Not exactly Inuyasha. Kouga has gone to inspect his lands and will meet us all back at Kaede-sama's in two weeks time. The rest of us for one would like to return there and plan our next mission, and recoup from our latest travels.”

 

“Keh! Its not like the rest of us are in any state for any more shard hunting Miroku. Besides, Kagome wants to go home and get more supplies. And I think Hoshiko will too, that is if Sesshoumaru lets her.”

 

“Well why don't you ask him Inuyasha, as Sesshoumaru-sama has just dropped his barrier.” Miroku replied as his aura picked up the tingle as said barrier fell.

 

Now we will know.

 

~*~*~

 

Feeling something soft, warm and wet licking at the nape of her neck Hoshiko growled in annoyance and lifted one hand to swat it away, the motion causing the body beneath her to rumble in amusement as the hand connected with warm flesh. Raising her head slightly she narrowed sleepy eyes playfully at the smirking face looking down at hers.

 

“Can't you let a girl sleep Sess?” Hoshiko grumbled as she let her headrest on his shoulder again. Suddenly remembering what had gone on the night before and the battle before that the pink haired teen shuddered and tried to bury into the warm flesh beneath her.

 

Oh god, I nearly died! Again. And now I have a mate. What will mama think?

 

As if sensing her inner turmoil Sesshoumaru let a growling purr rumble in his chest as his arms wrapped comfortingly around her back. “That is all in the past now mate. Do not waste your energy dwelling on the past.”

 

With a heavy sigh and a nod Hoshiko managed to push herself up into a sitting position, her breath hissing out between clenched teeth as the move pulled abused muscles that she didn't even knew she had. She gasped in alarm though when she felt her mates flaccid cock suddenly grow inside her where it had remained through the night, and could here his pleasured growl from the feeling of her movements. Looking into his amused golden eyes Hoshiko quickly flicked his nose with a finger and giggled at his angered growl.

 

“You will pay for that.” Sesshoumaru growled lowly, one hand pulling her head down to his to kiss her savagely while the other gripped the side of her hip, keeping her tightly to him as he flipped them over.

 

Finally being realised from the mind blowing kiss Hoshiko blinked fuzzily up at him as he smirked right back at her. She let out a gasp though and arched her back as he suddenly pulled out of her before plunging back in again. He kept doing this until the woman could feel the coil winding up in her lower belly, signalling that she was getting near to coming, but she cried out in loss and frustration when he suddenly stilled his movements, waiting for the feeling to retreat.

 

Leaning over his mate Sesshoumaru chuckled darkly and nibbled on her ear. “Are you feeling sorry yet, for the attack on this Sesshoumaru?” He purred before suckling on her neck.

 

Mewling and moaning Hoshiko tried to move her hips to get the feeling back again. And with a defeated cry she went limp and whimpered back at him. “Ok, ok…Sess-hou-maru…please…”

 

Pleased with her reply the taiyoukai abruptly pulled out of her hot body and flipped her onto her front, his hands hoisting her rounded bottom into the air into a position he liked, before he slammed his length back into her welcoming depths. Groaning at the tight feel around his cock Sesshoumaru gave her his all, his thighs slapping harshly against the back of hers as he repeatedly slammed into her wet core. Feeling his release coming closer he reached a hand down and started to roughly fondle her clit as he felt the telltale ripple of her sheath. With a scream and a roar the two came together, their bodies shuddering from the force of their shared climax.

 

“Now that is what I call a good morning.” Sesshoumaru chuckled breathlessly as he laid on his side, his mate curled up in front of him as his knot swelled with his seed. Stroking her hair out of her face and whispering words in her ear Sesshoumaru pulled her closer and waited patiently for his cock to deflate and release its hold.

 

An hour later Sesshoumaru awoke again and chuckled when he saw his mate still curled up next to him with a fierce hold on his new arm. Running fingers through her soft pink hair he kissed her forehead and growled for her to wake up, which she did with a sleepy yawn as she blinked her eyes open. When she released her hold on his arm the taiyoukai got up from the futon and headed for the bathing room. Coming back with a bucket of cold water and washcloths he found Hoshiko had already rolled up the bedding and was rummaging through her pack for fresh clothes.

 

Looking over to him as she found what she needed Hoshiko smiled warmly at her mate and watched him intently as he wet a cloth before wiping his body down with it. Licking her lips as she followed the hand holding the wet cloth the young woman blushed and looked away when she noticed him cleaning his groin and the rising pole between his legs. Feeling the stickiness between her own she left her clothes near her pack and picked up the other cloth.

 

Growling lowly when he smelt her arousal Sesshoumaru watched her intently as she came over to him to wash up. Dropping his own cloth at his feet he took the one from Hoshiko and wet it again, before turning her back to face him so he could clean it. When he was satisfied she was thoroughly cleaned he nipped lightly at the mark he'd left on her right shoulder before stepping away to get dressed. Remembering the order for clothes he gave to Jaken the night before he swiftly stepped outside and walked through his barrier towards a grazing Ah Un. Seeing the carefully wrapped bundles strapped to the creatures back Sesshoumaru pulled them loose before heading back inside, glad that none of the others had saw him outside yet. He quickly dropped the bundles though when he saw what his mate was wearing.

 

Wondering where Sesshoumaru was going in only his hakama's Hoshiko just shrugged her shoulders and looked down at the clothes she'd picked out to wear, which consisted of maroon short shorts and a yellow vest. Sighing she picked up the underwear she pulled out as well, her teeth pinching her bottom lip as she gazed at the not so innocent white silk thong and matching bra.

 

Why the hell did I put this in my bag before I left?

 

Sighing again and blushing deeply Hoshiko stifled a nervous giggle as she sensed Sesshoumaru approaching the house again. Moving quickly she swiftly put on the bra and thong and had just bent over to pick up her shorts when she heard a muffled thud from behind. Straightening up quickly she looked coyly over her shoulder at the sight that greeted her. There standing in the doorway was her mate with glazed over eyes with his mouth hung open hungrily while a small dribble of drool trickled down his chin. Darting her eyes down quickly she blushed again as she saw the very large tent in his pants.

 

Realising he was actually drooling at the little pieces of cloth his mate wore Sesshoumaru swiftly wiped it away and slowly edged closer to her, his eyes racking her form as one hand went out to run lightly over the thin strip of silken cloth at her hip.

 

“What are these strange garments you are wearing?” Sesshoumaru quizzed as he ran another finger over the silk covering her left breast. “Surely you do not intent to wear just these.”

 

Giggling Hoshiko stepped out of reach and gave a playful twirl. “No. These are called underwear. The top is a bra like a chest binding, and the bottom is a thong like a fundoshi.” Looking over to the twin bundles he had dropped by the door she walked over to retrieve them. “What's in these?”

 

Silently marvelling at the future clothing and hoping she would bring more Sesshoumaru pulled them from her grasp and unwrapped one. Seeing that this one held his fresh set of kimono and hakama he draped them over one arm while he unwrapped the other, to see it held a beautiful midnight purple kimono with white blossoms decorating the front. With it was a black obi that had silver thread running through it that picked up the silver detail that swirled around the flowers on the kimono.

 

Seeing the kimono Hoshiko pulled it out of his hands and held it up to her, her fingers caressing the thin cotton fabric as she slipped her arms into the sleeves. Tying it closed by the small ties she held out her arms and let her mate wrap the obi around her waist. When she was fully dressed she stepped up closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling on it to bestow him a deep kiss.

 

“Thank you Sesshoumaru, this is a gorgeous kimono and I love it.” Kissing him again she suddenly got a wicked idea and trailed her lips up to one of his ears. “For this gift…I will have to get more of these thongs you have taken a great shine too.”

 

Growling at the thought and thoroughly pleased that she was happy Sesshoumaru crushed her body to his and kissed her hungrily once before releasing her and ripping off his old hakama. Smirking he enjoyed the attention of her eyes as he dressed and when he was done he gathered up his ruined clothes and wrapped them up, while Hoshiko gathered up the rest of her things before slinging her pack over one shoulder.

 

Finally ready to face the rest of the pack Sesshoumaru let his barrier drop as he took hold of his mates hand, steering her through and out of the house and towards a hut where the scents of the others were waiting patiently for them.

After a few hours of getting reacquainted again and filling each other in on what had happened the night before the group finally set off for Keade's village, which they all arrived at a few hours before sunset.

 

“It is good to see ye all well and safe again.” Keade welcomed them as they sat about on the porch in front of her hut. Stirring the pot of stew she was cooking outside due to the summer heat the old miko listened intently to their adventures, and only spoke up again when they were finished. “Hmm, from what ye have told me it seems that this Mikal thought Hoshiko was from the clan he had wiped out. And I must say, I have to agree with him on that.”

 

Growling Sesshoumaru pulled his mate into his lap and wrapped his arms protectively around her, the move not going unnoticed by the others as they all stared wide eyed at the two. “Explain yourself miko.”

 

“The moon blade that Hoshiko was given is very picky when it chooses a new owner. That person has to have a spark of the power that the warriors of the moon had to be able to weld it and use it I must say.”

 

“So you're saying that Hoshiko is a descendant from this clan Keade?” Miroku voiced as his hands started to twitch from the sight of Sango's bottom swaying not far in front of him as she leaned forward to get a bowl of stew.

 

“Ay. And now that her powers have been unlocked they will continue to build, and possible go out of control if she does not learn to control them wisely.”

 

“But I have been learning to control them Keade-sama!” Hoshiko blurted out, not liking being talked about like she wasn't there. “Sesshoumaru has been training me the past week or so, and if it weren't for that I wouldn't be here right now.”

 

Nodding her head in understanding the old miko patted the air in front of the ruffled girl, signalling her to calm down before continuing on. “Be that as it may child, ye must still continue training with ye mate now, as well as myself and Houshi-sama if need be.”

 

When the conversation eventually died down an hour later both Kagome and her sister tiredly stood and bid the others goodbye before walking slowly towards the small clearing and the well with their mates trailing closely behind them.

 

“Well, we'll see you guys in a few days then.” Kagome informed as she swung her legs over the edge, letting them dangle down as she watched her sister hugging her own mate. So much has happened since I brought her here. I better keep an eye on Hoshiko while we're home.

 

“Stay out of trouble, you hear!” Hoshiko growled playfully in Sesshoumaru's ear as she hugged and kissed him one last time before pulling away. Flashing him a mischievous smile turned and ran to the well, jumping in straight after Kagome as the time slip opened up and let them through.

 

Sighing wearily after watching his mate disappear Inuyasha nearly jumped out of his skin when he noticed his brother was looking into the well opposite from him with a thoughtful expression on his face.

 

“Keh, she'll be back before you know it Sesshoumaru.” Inuyasha broke in as he turned and looked the other way.

 

“Tell me Inuyasha, can you travel through this well to the other side as well?” Sesshoumaru quietly asked as his youkai roared for its mate.

 

Bring mate back! Need mate here!

 

Flicking his ear at the question Inuyasha sighed again as he smelt the distress coming off of his older sibling in waves. “Yeah I can. I don't know if you will be able to. But I guess you won't know till you try.”

 

Grunting back in reply Sesshoumaru turned on his heel and dashed off into the woods, wanting to be alone so he could quieten down his raging beast and think about what to do.

 

Come back to me soon Hoshiko.
