Chapter 11
Youko looked at the beautiful face of the girl laying in the bed. She looked so utterly fragile, but like the saying went... don't judge a book by its cover.
His hand slowly reached out to brush the bangs on her forehead, smiling when her face turned toward his touch. His hands, now adorning claws moved to rest on her cheek. This gesture seemed so familiar, almost as if he had done this a thousand times before.
It was already past midnight and the others had all retreated to their rooms, tired from the day's activities. He couldn't bear to part from her so he volunteered to stay with her and watch over her. No one seemed surprised by this; actually they expected it.
Youko smiled at that thought. They were becoming a real couple, not one of those flings that he had done so often before. This he knew was forever. The urge to mate with her was stronger than ever but he didn't know if this was the right time to bring the subject up. But he knew if the subject ever came up between them he would ask for her hand in marriage and to mate her.
Giving up the resist to be near her, he got up from the chair he had positioned by the bed and walked over to the other side of the bed. He removed his top obi revealing a tan, built chest. He slowly slid into the bed, careful not to wake his love. Once he was comfortable, he pulled Kagome into his arms, spooning her back to his chest. He buried his head in her hair.
He smelled her scent, it was divine. When he had found out she was demon and a kitsune fox, he had been both surprised and utterly pleased. She looked even more beautiful as a demon. He knew he would have had her as his mate no matter if she was human or youkai. But he couldn't help but be overly pleased that she was youkai.
Kagome shifted in the bed, turning her body around until her face faced Youko's chest. Youko smiled, repositioning his arms so that they would both be more comfortable. Her head ended up in the crook of his neck, his self now laying fully on his back, his right arm around her waist while his left made a pillow for him. One of Kagome's hand was flung carelessly over his bare chest while the other one wrapped around his waist. He remembered this position to be similar to the first one they had been in when they were in her room. It seemed so long ago but at other times like now, it seemed to have happened only yesterday.
Slowly he drifted off to sleep, her heartbeat soothing to his ears, reassuring him that she was real, that this wasn't a dream, that they were together.
Sesshoum aru stood on the balcony connected to his room. Rin lay in bed sleeping. He didn't want to wake her; he knew she was tired. He couldn't help but be pleased with his mate. He would have no other. She may not have been an exotic beauty like so many of the youkai women that had clung to him. But she was more than beauty. She was loyal, loving, patient, kind, gentle, and strong. It had been so long since he had ever needed someone. Rin was everything to him and more. His whole being was in the palm of her hand.
He looked at the bed once more time before jumping off the balcony and landing in the same garden they had been in only days before. His mind immediately turned to Kagome. How much would she have to go through before she could live in peace? Sesshoumaru looked up to the window where he knew the fox and his sister resided. He turned back to the garden to see the small pond in the middle reflecting the crescent moon's light. Surprisingly he spotted a figure sitting there.
His skilled eyes recognized it as Kagome's cousin. Well, not blood cousins, but he knew Kagome would consider him family no matter what. It was what she regarded him as, afterall. He walked over to the figure, what was his name? Ah.. Yusuke, that's it.
Yusuke looked up to see the Lord of the Western lands approaching him. He didn't even tense for he knew Kagome would never trust anybody that would harm her loved ones. He had remembered their first encounter and how wrongly he had acted. Demons and humans were more similar than he had thought. Kagome seemed to know that all along.
"Lord Sesshoumaru." Yusuke acknowledged the youkai who in turned gave a nod.
"Should you not be resting?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Can't."
Sesshoumaru nodded understanding completely.
"I just can't believe all of this is happening. And it's harder to believe that my little cousin who I used to give piggy back rides too is at the center of this. "Yusuke said
"Kagome has a way of getting into trouble." sessh said.
Yusuke nodded. "It hurts to know that we used to be so close, she would tell me everything, all her secrets, everything but now I feel like I don't even know her."
"I agree with you on this. When I first met your cousin, we did not hit it off. I was a stubborn youkai back than, I would not let anybody in, but your cousin is one persistent person.
Yusuke was surprised when the lord had actually listed a fault of himself. Looks like Kagome got through to him too. She had a way of doing that.
" Again and again I was amazed at her loyalty and bravery. I thought her foolish to trust and want to help everything. It confused me and annoyed me when she would never look at me with hate, she feared me yes but not like other humans would. I could never understand her and now it looks like I will never understand truly who she is. But it seems that that is what Kagome is all about. Her whole being is a mystery. If it wasn't, she wouldn't be who she is." Sesshoumaru finished.
Yusuke was slightly surprised with the Youkai's confession but agreed with him on everything. Kagome was a mystery that you wanted to solve but knew you would never be able too.
"It seems you and me are more alike than you think Sesshoumaru."
Sess houmaru regarded the human. He was pretty powerful for a human. It wasn't surprising. Power attracted power and Kagome was one powerful woman.
"You tell anyone of this conversation and i'll deny it than kill you while you sleep."
Yusuke smirked. "Now there is no reason to get violent. I'm sure if I did tell anyone they wouldn't believe me anyway. "
Sesshoumaru looked at the human one more time. New respect grew in Sesshoumaru. It seemed like more and more of the humans he met weren't all that bad. He was wrong in saying that they were a disgusting race. He silently thanked Kagome and Rin for helping him to realize how wrong his perceptions were.
Sesshoumaru nodded at Yusuke once more before leaving to go back to his room.
Yusuke watched him leave and like Sesshoumaru looked up at Kagome's window.
"We will get through this cousin, then you'll be happy. I promise on everything in my being to help you achieve that."
The sun slowly rose. And like clockwork, dawn approached. Light poured into windows, specifically on a sleeping couple.
Kagome snuggled deeper trying to get a few more minutes of sleep. Her arms wrapped around tighter of the source of warmth. She was just drifting off to sleep when she heard a small chuckle. She stiffened slightly, thinking maybe it was intruder.
"Good morning my rose."
Kagome instantly relaxed. The hoarse voice, laced with sleep calmed her.
"Do we have to wake up?" She asked in a whiny voice.
Youko let out another chuckle that rumbled through his chest. Kagome enjoyed the sound, promising to make him laugh more. She trailed on of her hands along his arms until she reached his hand. She laced his fingers with his and than realized his nails were now claws!
Her eyes snapped open to meet with a pair of golden eyes, speckled with green. She gasped slightly at the intense emotion flowing in the eyes.
She pulled back slightly but was stopped by the arms around her waist.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my bed?" Kagome demanded struggling to get out of his embrace.
Youko than remembered that he had changed into his true form.
"Kagome it's still me, Kurama. This is my real form. My true name is Youko Kurama. I'm a spirit fox."
Kagome than remembered their first meeting and the same golden eyes.
She ran her hands through his silver golden hair and smiled as she felt his familiar aura. It was the same person she had just left in her dreams only moments ago. She relaxed back into his arms. She felt so secure and loved. It seem she could stay this way forever.
"How long have I been out?"
"Only half a day"
"I'm sorry... for not telling you guys about Hades.... I wasn't ready and his appearance yesterday was unexpected."
"Do not worry Kagome, everybody is just glad your safe."
She nodded. "I'm so scared about the real battle with Hades. I know it will be soon. My father.... Hades has until tomorrow to get the jewel or he'll have to wait another millennium to have another chance to get out of hell. I don't know if I can beat him, and I know if I don't the destruction of the world will be my fault."

Hades has until tomorrow to get the jewel or he'll have to wait another millennium to have another chance to get out of hell. I don't know if I can beat him, and I know if I don't the destruction of the world will be my fault."
“It's bitter irony that because I was turned into a demon, my father was finally able to discover where I was and set his plan into motion but I also met you and found out the truth about what I am.” Kagome said.
"Stop it Kagome! You will not blame yourself now. You will not give up. I know you will be able to beat him, I have faith in you Kagome. I'll be right there with you Kagome. I'll make sure you'll come back alive. I'm pretty sure Shippo would kill me if I let you die." Youko said, his voice going from seriousness to teasing.
Kagome giggled slightly, easing Youko's worry.
"Come, we'll take a shower and then join the others for breakfast." Youko said.
Kagome raised an eyebrow. "We will take a shower?"
Youko smirked. "Yes we."
H e jumped off the bed pulling her with him into his arms and planting a kiss square on her mouth. The kiss deepened, Kagome's arm wrapped around his neck while Youko's arms wrapped around her waist.
Youko reluctantly pulled a way and smirked at her sound of protest and her drowsy eyes.
Her eyes refocused slightly, still slurry form the kiss, she pouted, "that was not necessary. I would have gladly joined you in the bath. It was a nice kiss though." A second too late her mind registered what she said and her cheeks became an interesting shade of red. Youko smirked picking her up bridal style, earning a yelp from Kagome.
"I'm glad to here that you enjoyed your kiss..... i'm sure you'll enjoy our bath too." Youko whispered huskily.
Kagome's blush deepened.
Suddenly , his voice became serious. Youko looked into her eyes. "I want to say something to you and I don't want you to interrupt until I finish."
Kagome nodded, nervous by his sudden change in mood.
After putting her back down, he walked over to his obi and pulled something out of one of the pockets. He held it in his palm coming back to Kagome.
"We've only met just weeks ago but I've felt like we've known each other's for centuries. I've never met anyone quite like you and to my own surprise, I slowly fell in love with you." Youko could see she was about to interrupt so held up a hand.
"Let me finish, I know I hardly know you, but I don't want this opportunity to pass. I want you Kagome, I can't deny that. Your beautiful and when you turned into a Kitsune Youkai I claimed you as mine. But I never asked you. Your beauty is not all that I love about you. For the first time in a long time, I was worried for someone other than myself. I love your gentle spirit, and your determination. I want to have pups with you; I want you to be my mate Kagome. So I ask you now Kagome Higurashi, will you be my mate?
Tears fell from Kagome's eyes. It was just like her dream, every single part of it. She had thought that if would never come true but here he was, asking her to be his mate. How could she refuse!?
He opened his palm to reveal a small silver band/ ring. On the sides were intricate designs of roses, red rubies representing the roses. The roses stem swirled and wrapped around the ring in a circle. It was exquisite.
Kagome' s voice was suddenly not working. "Will you be my mate Kagome?" She heard Youko ask again. Unable to speak she nodded her head vigorously. Youko smiled a big smile, a few tears escaping his own eyes. He slid the ring on to her middle finger and found that it fit perfectly. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed them softly.
Kagome, happy with love jumped on him hugging him fiercely. Youko hugged back just as fierce, enjoying the feelings of love that flowed through him. He felt like the luckiest man on earth.... no in the whole universe.
"I love you Youko." she whispered in his ear.
Youko's smile became wider and he tossed her into the air, enjoying her surprised squeak. "Say it again Kagome, say it again for me."
Kagome smiled, cupping his face in her hands. "I love you, and only you."
Youko pulled her closer, "I love you too my little rose." He wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Now how about we take a bath?" Kagome nodded, all resistance gone.
They finished their bath, much to the disappointment of Youko and quickly dressed. They both headed off to the breakfast room. Once Kagome entered the room, she was knocked down by too objects.
Turned out the objects were Rin and Shippo. "Mama, your okay, I was so worried about you." "I was worried to Kagome-chan." Rin added quickly. Kagome laughed and hugged them both, "I'm fine guys."
"That's good to hear" She looked up to see Sesshoumaru towering over her.
He held out a hand which Kagome greatly took. Sesshoumaru look down at the hand to find the ring. He instantly recognized it as a mating ring. He caught Kagome's blush and Youko's pleased look.
"Well congratulations Kagome, you've agreed to become Youko's mate."
There was a loud WHAT!! throughout the room. Suddenly Kagome was bombarded with hugs from Rin, questions from Yusuke, some from Shippo, and congratulations from everyone else in the group.
She let out a breath of sigh when they finished questioning her and moved towards Youko. She smirked when Yusuke and Shippo started to interrogate him.
It pleased her to know they approved of her choice. Koenma came up to her, in his teenage form, he looked at her before hugging her. Kagome was slightly surprised.
"Welcom e cousin."
Kagome's smile widened. "Thank you"
Koenma smiled back.
Kurama came up behind her and put his arms around her. Kagome felt truly at home and content. Like always, it was interrupted.
A guard burst through the door, running to Koenma.
"Sir! At least three thousand demons have gone missing in makai!"(I'm not sure if this is right)
"WHAT!" Koenma was shocked.
"Stop it Kagome! You will not blame yourself now. You will not give up. I know you will be able to beat him, I have faith in you Kagome. I'll be right there with you Kagome. I'll make sure you'll come back alive. I'm pretty sure Shippo would kill me if I let you die." Youko said, his voice going from seriousness to teasing.
Kagome giggled slightly, easing Youko's worry.

"Sir! At least three thousand demons have gone missing in makai!"(I'm not sure if this is right)
"WHAT!" Koenma was shocked.
"That's not all, in the human world, humans are suddenly just dying. No one can figure out why. Over a thousand have already died."
Kagome was shocked. She hadn't expected this move. He was going right for the kill. He knew she had a weakness for death. He was setting up a trap and Kagome knew she couldn't resist it. But that didn't mean she couldn't fight back. Instead of getting caught in the trap, she'd kill the person who set the trap up.
Kurama's arms tightened around her. She put her own hands on them, hers were shaking.
"He's waiting for me........"
"He's baiting you Kagome..."
"I know..... and I intend to bite."
