Kagome hummed to herself as she dipped her plain white rag back into the bucket of warm water. It's been eighteen years. Yes, Kagome had been living at the Western Palace for her whole life. Her mother died when she was a mere seven summers old. Hanna, Kagome's mother, had been very loyal and devoted to her Lord, Kaido, the current ruler of the Western Lands.

After the death of her mother, Kagome had nowhere to go. Kaido, being the gracious and caring Lord that he was, allowed Kagome to remain in the palace and work as a servant. So here she was, after eighteen years, the beautiful black dog demon, Kagome, still complied with her Lords' wishes, never doubting nor questioning them.

While Kagome scrubbed vigorously at the bedroom floor she was washing, her loose ponytail bobbed up and down along with her strokes. Kagome could truly say that she was quite content with her life. Sure, it had its ups and downs. An 'up' would be that she was the Inu no Taisho's most respected servant and he always treated her with respect. Sadly, one of the 'downs' was one of the Lords that she worked for, the youngest and most self-arrogant hanyou alive, Inuyasha.

Ever since she was a child, he made it his life goal to torment her and make her reasonably happy life a living hell. When they were young, he would constantly take advantage of her obedience and make her do horrible and dangerous chores, like go clean the bottom of his brother's two headed dragon demon's feet, while lying under them. Luckily for her, Kaido overheard and berated his son severely.

Inuyasha was still a pain in the ass to her, but not as much as he used to be. Right now, he was currently caught up in finding a mate, due to his father's 'suggestion', which really meant he is forcing him to do it.

The older of Kaido's son was Sesshoumaru, the heir to the Western throne. Even though he did not treat her with respect and would rather strike up a conversation with a rock than her, he didn't treat her badly. In fact, she only saw him very briefly, perhaps twice a week, if that. He was always busy preparing to take his rightful place as Lord of his father's lands. Attending meetings, reading treaties, preparing documents, negotiating with other territories, trying to resolve civil issues as well as make sure the Western Defense was still as efficient as ever was all in a days work for the young Sesshoumaru.

It was obvious, to Kagome at least, that some days, he would be all tired out and stressed. His shoulders would sag ever so slightly that almost no one noticed. She did however.

No, she was not friends or acquaintances with the royal family, but she had been around them long enough to be able to read them all like an open book. Kagome was one of the only people who could actually say that.

Depositing her rag inside of the bucket for the final time, she picked up the wooden bucket and walked out of Sesshoumaru's room, making sure to close the shoji screen behind her carefully.

After depositing of the tainted water, Kagome quickly washed her hands and face in a near by well before proceeding over to where the kitchen was set. Tonight it was her night to help out the chef.

On top of having to cook a magnificent meal for the royal family, the chef was also preparing the huge banquet that would occur in two and a half days time, which would include the other Lords of the lands and their families.

After straightening out her plain brown kimono, she pushed back and shoji screen with a smile glistening on her face, as she approached the cook to help her with the meal.

To say Sesshoumaru was pissed would be an understatement. Not only had the dire and important treaty with a territory on the Continent fell through, but also bird demons were wreaking havoc in small villages in the southern area of the Western lands, his father was pressuring him to find a mate, having to prepare a welcoming for the upcoming arrival of the Lords and have to deal with his annoying and wretched brother was enough to make him want to pull his hair out. And to put the cherry on the cake, he was going into heat. Yes, heat.

Sure, he has gone into heat before and he knew that this time around it would be the same as always, but only now did it seem more stressful, what with all of the ruckus around the palace lately.

His adoring mother, Ai, suggested that he go out to the dojo and beat the shit out of a dummy. Of course she said it more gracefully and nicer than that, but that was just about the jist of it.

Fuming down the hall of his father's beautiful and extravagantly decorated Japanese palace, he came to a sudden stop at the door that led into his chambers. Whipping open the door and frightening passing servants, he stormed into his room, pacing about the room, trying to calm his fried nerves.

A sudden scent assaulted his nose. He sighed at the feeling the smell was giving him. He calmed down a little and felt more at ease.

He entered his room everyday, always to be greeted with this sweet smell, although he hadn't had the faintest idea as to which creature produced this intoxicating aroma. Sure, he figured it was probably one of the servant girls, but that didn't bother him. He simply enjoyed the warmth he felt with this smell.

After reveling for a few moments in the scent, he made his way over to his make shift bed, adorned with pillows and silks and fine furs. Lying down deep within the gentle materials, he meditated on the scent, letting it drown away the events of the current day.

Lady Ai made her way to her son's room. She spoke with him earlier today and observed how tense he was. He had been working so hard lately. Yes, Sesshoumaru was going to inherit the Western Lands, but not for quite some time. Kaido was still in good health and full of life, so there was no reason for him to abdicate his throne just yet. Ai made a mental note to talk to her mate about letting up on her only pup, Sesshoumaru, for a little while.

Upon arriving at his door, she rapped her knuckles on the wood of the door to announce her presence. From inside the room, she heard Sesshoumaru bid her entrance. Pity and worry etched across her beautiful face as she gazed upon her handsome son, lying on his bed, with his thumb and forefingers pinching the bridge of his nose in an attempt to calm his raging head.

Ai let loose a soft sigh.

At this, Sesshoumaru lifted his head off of a black pillow only to meet the warm gaze of his dear mother. Rushing gracefully to his feet, he bowed low to his mother in respect.

Although Ai and other Lords, not including Kaido, told him this was not necessary, he continued to refuse them. In his eyes, as well as his father's, his mother deserved the respect of a goddess and that was the way Kaido and Sesshoumaru treated her. She had a kind, warm heart, which was reflected in her beautiful golden eyes. Her long silver hair exposed to everyone her high-ranking birth, as well as her marking. On her pale face, there was a small blue crescent moon on her forehead. At the base of her eyes, off to the corners by her hairline, there were little blue triangles with the points facing her pupil, since they were on an angle.

Ai walked over to her son and lifted his head up with her deadly, yet gentle, inu claws.

"How are you faring, pup?" Ai asked in her sugar sweet voice.

"Let that not worry you, Haha-ue. You have no reason to be burdened with uselessness." Sesshoumaru responded warmly, still bent over, only have his head propped up by his mother.

"Oh, Sesshoumaru." Ai started, releasing his head, only to have him drop it back down again. "Straightened up for me please, dearest pup. I do not enjoy seeing my beloved warrior son in such an undignified and shameful position."

"Haha-ue, my love, respect, and devotion for you is anything less than undignified and shameful."

"I know, my son, but I should be bowing before you."

"You shall do not such thing, Haha-ue. I will not allow it."

Sesshoumaru fully erected himself and stared into the beautiful eyes of his mother.

Ai reached a light hand up and stroked the dark stripe on his cheek. At this, Sesshoumaru began to nuzzle into her hand and purr light in contentment. The muscles in his back loosened at the caress.

"No matter how big you get, or how powerful and fierce you become, you will always be my baby, my pup." Ai stated lovingly, removing her hand.

"Do you wish for dinner to be brought to you this night? I would not be offended if you chose to do so. You need to relax, pup."

Sesshoumaru simply nodded. With that, Ai turned on her foot and preceded to the door, only to throw a light goodnight over her shoulder to her son, who bowed in response, only resuming his tall position once the screen closed.

Kagome was carrying a tray full of food up to the young lord's chambers. Lady Ai herself asked her to bring the food up to Master Sesshoumaru and told her she could just walk into his room and place the tray on his desk. Apparently, Master Sesshoumaru must be under a great amount of stress and pressure if his dinner is being brought up to him.

Yes, like any prince, Sesshoumaru liked to be pampered, but only to a certain extent. He enjoyed silk kimonos, well-crafted swords, and a luxurious bed, but that was about it. He did not see the need to need so many useless things. Inuyasha was the exact opposite, grabbing his greedy claws at whatever was offered to him. This thought unnerved Kagome and made her worry slightly. She had only ever seen her Lord as calm, cool, and passive aggressive. She was not sure she would be able to handle seeing him in a weak state.

Kagome couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I mean, how could you blame her?

Master Sesshoumaru was a very intimidating creature, with his great beauty and power. Yes, Kagome has been living in the palace for quite some time, so she had become accustomed to the two young masters, but only when they were young pups. Only on occasion, did Kagome every see the masters and when she did, she would be in a low bow, not looking into their heavenly features.

Arriving at her planned destination, Kagome gave her head a quick shake to ensure that all of her raven hair fell behind her shoulders. She also moistened her suddenly dry lips. Antsy would be a good way to describe how Kagome was feeling inside and out. She didn't know how she would react to Master Sesshoumaru, or how he would react to her for that matter. The only members of the royal family she had been in close contact with had been Lady Ai and Lord Kaido, and they were nothing but kind and gentle to her.

After a few moments of fussing, she pushed open the shoji door with her foot and proceeded into the dimly lit room, which she had just been in hours ago cleaning. Candles were scattered throughout the room to illuminate it dimly because of the setting sun. It would have looked almost romantic, in a different situation of course. The flickering lights glow danced off of the black silk pillows deposited strategically on his soft bed.

Oddly enough, looking around, Kagome could not seem to locate where her young master went. Not wanting to dwell on the thought, she hastily deposited the tray on the table. As she was about to leave, an enchanting and seductive scent entered her nose. She could decipher which type of scent it was instantly. The master was in heat. Kagome's knees started to get weak and her whole body heated up. If any demon was within a reasonable distance, they would be able to smell the sweet scent of her arousal.

Kagome let her mind get away with her for a moment. She imagined she was in Sesshoumaru's makeshift bed, with him hovering over top of her, almost teasingly, covered in a thin layer of shimmer sweat. Panting heavily before thrusting into her core, filling her completely with his humongous cock. Letting loose a let gasp, her eyelids fell half way down her eyes. Quick, light pants escaped her mouth as her sexual fantasy played on.

After realizing what she was doing, Kagome instantly snapped out of her stupor, hurried to the door, and closed it behind her.

Sesshoumaru, who had been standing out on his balcony, suddenly caught a strong whiff of a female's arousal. Rushing back into the room, he looked around frantically, his silver hair twisting around him, as he attempted to locate the bearer of the sweat scent.

His eyes bled red when he had not found the source. Indulging in the scent a little more thoroughly, he realized that the apple and cinnamon scent seemed stronger. Turning toward his desk, he raked his claws over the tray powerfully, dispersing it and it's contents around his chambers. His beast was still in control, trying desperately to find a way to calm down. The rational side of Sesshoumaru tried to comfort and soothe the roaring beast; but the white inner canine wouldn't still. Finally, Sesshoumaru reasoned with the animal that the creature that deposited the tray would come back to retrieve it. After understanding this concept, Sesshoumaru stalked into a dark part of his chambers and waited for his prey to arrive.

Kagome heard the loud clanking noise her master made when he threw over his tray. So Kagome, in her infinite wisdom, brought a bucket with warm water and a cloth to clean up the dishes and food. Coming to the room for the third time that day, Kagome took a deep breath before entering the room.

Abandoned food and plates confirmed her suspicion of his outburst. Shaking her head lightly in amusement, she deposited the bucket on the floor and bent down to start to pick up the loose food and utensils. As she was reaching for a morsel of fish, she heard the shoji door behind her close and lock.

Kagome whipped around to see a very aroused demon prince. The shimmering moonlight was streaming through the open balcony door. She could make out most of his features. He only wore his white hakama pants, sporting an obvious erection within its confines. Chiseled out abs and chest splayed across the front of him. His eyes were tinted blood red and his birth right marks were jagged. Looking at his famous hair, she noticed it was slightly disheveled and that he was panting lightly.

The sight of her master made her slightly nervous. Kagome instantly stood up to face Sesshoumaru, completely forgetting her manners and not bowing, but Sesshoumaru didn't seem to notice.

Red eyes traveled up and down his prey, which entered his domain so willingly. Instantly, he became frustrated because the brown kimono she was wearing did not reveal any shape of her body. He growled out his aggravation, shocking the poor demoness.

The instant Sesshoumaru looked up into her azure eyes, the sweet scent that has haunted him for years approached his nose. This heightened his arousal and his eyes tinted even darker, if possible.

Sesshoumaru started to stalk up to Kagome, and upon instinct, Kagome began to move back until her back hit the solid wall behind her, rendering her helpless. The demon lord was neither impressed nor contented in knowing that this female youkai would retreat. In a flash of silver, he appeared in front of her, both hands on the side of her head, holding her hands there tightly. Lowering his silver head closer to hers, he growled out a warning to her.

Fear instantly shot through Kagome, who closed her eyes and started to whimper.

Suddenly, guilt washed over Sesshoumaru. Did this beautiful creature think that he, Sesshoumaru, would hurt her? Apparently, else she wouldn't have responded the way she did.

Sesshoumaru's eyes took on a look of sadness and regret. His face, still close to Kagome's began to nuzzle into her neck lightly as he pressed his chest to hers. Kagome whimpered again, still unsure of what would happen. A vibrating feeling spilled in his chest. Sesshoumaru purred to Kagome, as well as whimpered out his apologies for scaring her.

'Kami, male youkai sure are kinder and more affectionate when they're in heat, aren't they?' Kagome thought briefly.

"Shh. Will not hurt. Sorry. Sorry. Shh. Calm." Sesshoumaru purred into her ear.

Kagome relaxed slightly against the wall.

Sesshoumaru noticed this and a happy spark shot through him, knowing that she trusted him. Rewarding himself, he began to lick and kiss her soft neck, leaving a trail of moisture in his wake. An involuntary shudder racked Kagome's stiff body.

Kagome had no idea how to respond. So, she just stood there, receiving his gentle ministrations, going over possible outcomes to this situation. Upon arriving at the place where her pulse pulsed in her neck, he lightly nipped at it, extracting a half gasp half moan from the pinned woman. Her response made Sesshoumaru's arousal increase. Pulling back from her pulse point slightly, he blew his breath against her skin, instantly cooling the wetness on her throat. Kagome moaned and began to tremble.

She began to get intoxicated by his scents and soon found herself almost falling over from the effects. Kagome's eyes began to get hazed over, and she didn't even feel like she was in her own body anymore. What brought her back to reality was the blunt object that impacted with her belly. Looking down, her eyes tinted red in an instant, upon realizing it was her master's hardened cock jabbing at her.

Kagome let out a loud moan as her beast was released. Sesshoumaru pulled back from her neck and look at the now red-eyed demoness pinned to the wall, trying to pull free from her confines. Upon smelling her strong arousal, Sesshoumaru released her thin wrist only to have them wrapped around his neck, forcing his head down to her.

Kagome couldn't help herself. She forced her lips upon his heavily, showing him that she enjoyed his past actions. The kiss was filled with a raging fire that increased both of the demon's body temperature. Kagome was sure she would pass out from being over heated. Liquid began to slide down the inside of Kagome's thigh as the kiss wore on.

The rational side of Kagome told her beast that she should stop now! She should not mate with her master! That would be highly inappropriate! Kagome's beast shoved her down and ravished Sesshoumaru's sweet mouth.

Growling in dominance and possessiveness, Sesshoumaru's tongue departed from his mouth only to be forced into Kagome's. A moan erupted from her. Sesshoumaru roughly ran his tongue along hers. He soon began to move his tongue all over the inside of her mouth, across her cheeks, on the roof of her mouth, her tongue, and even down her throat a bit. This caused Kagome to gag slightly, but she recovered quickly. Suddenly, her knees felt weak and she collapsed against Sesshoumaru who held them both up.

Sesshoumaru pulled back, he needed to catch his breath. Across Kagome's brow, small drops of perspiration started to run down the side of her temple. Unable to control himself, Sesshoumaru leaned forward and licked up the salty liquid. She tasted divine!

Kagome's need for Sesshoumaru began to increase with every passionate kiss. In her boldness, Kagome reached around Sesshoumaru's back and grabbed his ass, only to force his hips against hers. Whimpering at the hardness of her master, she started to rotate her hips roughly against his, earning a heavy groan from him. Sesshoumaru received the message loud and clear and started to gyrate forcefully against Kagome's front, cause her to groan loudly and her deep red eyes to roll into the back of her head.

Kagome's voice carried as she started to bark and howl at the sensual sensations coursing through her body.

Sesshoumaru flashed her his pearly chops, purring in contentment of his servant's proclamation.

Raising his dangerous claws, Sesshoumaru shred both of their clothing, which ended up in heaps on the floor. Pulling her up roughly by her hips, so he could carry her in his arms, he walked them over to his bed, quickly depositing his prize on the furs. Landing on her back, she propped up on her elbows so she could see his looming figure. Looking over his body hungrily, she traced every muscle with her eyes, taking in his beautiful sight.

Now that she was able to look at him now, as naked as ever, she could see that now only did he have stripes on his wrists and face, oh no, but also on his slender hips and around his calves.

Trailing her line of vision lower, she took a gracious note of the size of her Lord's cock. Kagome shuddered at the thought of him squeezed the gigantic staff into her. She started to image the things he would do to her with that! In anticipation, she started to lift her hips off of the bed, as if to invite him into her heat.

Sesshoumaru looked down at the beautiful vixen adorning his bed. She was leaning on her elbows, her legs bent and spread, revealing to him his soon to be conquest. He instantly pounced on her, not being able to contain himself and he wanted to relieve the pain he was in.

Usually, Sesshoumaru enjoyed foreplay, but tonight, he was desperate. Situating himself between her spread legs, Sesshoumaru thrust himself into Kagome and instantly started to pound into her mindlessly. She only experienced a small twinge of pain but did not linger on it.

Load moans and groans emanated from the dancing couple. Kagome started to scream her pleasure out to the Kami's. Sesshoumaru was magnificent! It was obvious that he was an experienced lover. Although she wanted to show him how truly god like he was, by ravishing his delicious body, she was still content with him burying himself into her, deeper with each entrance.

Sesshoumaru couldn't believe his luck! On the first night of his heat, which seemed to be quite intense, he finds the bearer of the sensual scent and is now forcing himself into her tight, hot, little sheath.

"Bitch feel good. Master happy. Good bitch. Good bitch." Sesshoumaru praised.

Kagome felt her pride rise upon receiving his approval. His large member was teasing and stretching her inner muscles to an extent where it didn't even seem possible. Because of his large size, Kagome did feel pain, but that only added to her pleasure. Looking up, Kagome saw the intensity in her master's eyes.

Grunts, pants, snarls, barks and slapping skin could be heard echoing throughout the room. Kagome could feel a tight spring coil in her lower abdomen. The pain was almost excruciating.

Sesshoumaru growled out, low into her ear, for her to calm down.

Kagome tried to calm down, as Sesshoumaru instructed, but began to panic anew as he pulled out of her.

Kagome yelped and yip sadly and desperately at the absence of Sesshoumaru, pleading for him to come back.

Sesshoumaru chuckled lightly at his lover's cries and pleas. Flipping her over so she was on her knees, he pressed down her shoulders so that her butt was sticking straight up in the air. Grasping her hips firmly, to keep her from moving, placing his cock just outside of her entrance, teasing her lightly. Kagome started to whimper. She needed him and he was teasing her! Her begging whimpers were enough to send him spiraling and thrust himself deep within her.

Kagome and Sesshoumaru howled in pleasure. Forcing himself deeper into her, Kagome responded by throwing herself back to meet him each and every time.

They could feel their release coming fast. Using his demonic speed, Sesshoumaru pounded into her harshly, small trails of blood began to slide down the back of her leg. Kagome could not keep up with Sesshoumaru, so she settled for screaming out her joy and devotion to her master.

After Kagome's announcement, Sesshoumaru shot his hot seed into Kagome's welcoming womb as Kagome also met her end. Sesshoumaru once again leaned forward and inserted his sharp fangs into the left side of her neck, at the juncture of her shoulder and neck meet. Pulling back from his lover, he howled his conquest so that the entire castle could hear.

Pulling out from the drained woman, who was still on her knees, he gave her a quick and hard slap on the ass to show his approval and contentment and lay down on the bed beside her. After her spank, Kagome collapsed unto her stomach. Through half mast red eyes, she looked over at her demonic bed partner. A sated look crossed his face. Sesshoumaru leaned over, gave her a soft lick on her cheek, before he laid down and situated most of his chest on her back, knowing she would get cold during the night and he wanted to keep her warm.

Sesshoumaru growled for her to go to sleep, for he would wake her up again for another round and she complied, shivering in anticipation.

With that, the two lovers fell asleep.

On the other side of the castle, the Inu no Taisho and his mate were suddenly jolted awake by a loud howling coming from their eldest son's chambers. Kaido gave Ai a knowing look.

"It seems to me, Lady Mate, that young Sesshoumaru has released some of his built up tension, ne?" Kaido asked, suggestively wiggling his dark eyebrows.

"Hai, My Lord. It does." Ai blushed lightly at her mate's implications. They snuggled back together and fell asleep once more.

Sesshoumaru woke up not even an hour after he first took Kagome into his bed. Feeling a soothing heat below him, he lowered his silver head until his nose started to brush up against his mate's left shoulder. His tongue passed through his lips to gently lick at the now healing mating mark on her shoulder.

In her sleep, Kagome moaned lightly at the wet appendage sliding across her shoulder. The deep purring of her lover on her back caused her to wake up slowly. Opening her sleep-clouded eyes, she turned to look over her left shoulder, still on her belly, and was greeted with a head of silver hair.

Whimpering her greeting, Sesshoumaru pulled his head off of her left shoulder and looked into her still red eyes, mimicking Sesshoumaru's. He leaned up and started to nuzzle her face with his own to ensure that she was covered in his scent. Purring in contentment, Kagome nuzzled her head into Sesshoumaru's.

He crawled off of her back only to end up beside her, lying flat in his back. Sesshoumaru pushed his chest up into the air, arching his back, to straighten out his tired muscles. Kagome, on the other hand, did a very cat-like action. She climbed up onto her knees, dipped her back down low, forcing her butt into the air and stretch her arms out in front of her chest, against the furs under her. Not being able to hold back, Sesshoumaru slapped Kagome on the ass again, receiving a surprised yip.

He gave a low chuckle as he reached out and grabbed his mate by her tiny waist and pulled her onto his chest. Kagome startled and rested her chin on her mate's wide chest. Looking up his naked chest, her red eyes met his, and she smiled contently at him. Sesshoumaru barked quietly at her, informing her of his own happiness. Kagome snuffled and relaxed fully.

Kagome grunted softly and shifted and she wiggled her hips against his. Sesshoumaru let out a grateful sigh and pushed his hips up against hers. Large clawed hands grasped Kagome's hips and pushed her against himself. Growling loudly, Sesshoumaru didn't let Kagome maneuver herself; he rubbed her against his hardening member. Kagome snarled at him, angered by his overly dominant nature. Grinning up at her, Sesshoumaru continued.

Struggling against his hold, Kagome tried to pry herself away from his rapidly heating body. His grip tightened. Kagome snarled furiously at him, demanding her release her now. Sesshoumaru chuckled darkly and thrust roughly against her. Moaning loudly, Kagome dug her claws into his strong chest and sat straight up. Licking her chops at her prey, Kagome grabbed the back of Sesshoumaru's beck and pulled him up to her mouth.

Smiling into the rough, wet kiss, Sesshoumaru let his claws rub his mate's cunt harshly. Groaning in appreciation, Kagome pressed down against his hand, hoping he would allow one of his long fingers to penetrate her. Shifting away from her mouth, Sesshoumaru gently kissed her tiny chin and ventured down her graceful neck.

Kagome moved so that she kneeled over Sesshoumaru's pulsing sex. Gazing hungrily down at the male beneath her, Kagome impaled herself on his engorged cock. Her back arched in complete satisfaction. A strangled gasp was ripped from Sesshoumaru's lips at the unexpected dominance. A hot, pink tongue passionately washed Sesshoumaru's cheek. Strong claws gently massaged Kagome's scalp and another other claw rested on her hip.

In a heavy, steady rhythm, Kagome rode her mate's attentive manhood. Leaning forward, causing Sesshoumaru's cock to pound deeper into her vagina, Kagome started to whisper obscenities, in the language of their ancestors, into his ear. That made Sesshoumaru snap. Cupping the back of Kagome's head, Sesshoumaru pushed her back until she was laying on her back on the warm fur. Snatching Kagome legs, he rested her thighs on his shoulders and continued his assault on her body. Kagome arched into her lover, enjoying the roughness of his touch.

Kagome sharp nails raked down Sesshoumaru's back, making him shiver in appreciation. She was a strong female. He like his female's feisty. He could feel the muscles tensing; he absently noticed his toes curling under. Kagome was panting against his shoulders. Oh gods! She felt as if she was going to pass out. Sesshoumaru was a powerful being and obviously, mating was one of his stronger forte's. Kagome groaned loudly and ground her hips frantically up into her lover's.

Their haggard breaths commingled as their mating neared the end. Kagome momentarily lost all brain function. A loud, animalistic groan left Kagome's chest as she reached her long awaited climax. Sesshoumaru growled down at the limp female as his seed shot deep into her womb. For long minutes the young couple stayed in the same position, Kagome's legs still resting on Sesshoumaru's shoulders. Carefully, Sesshoumaru lowered her legs and let his head rest on her comforting shoulder. Kagome's breath started to become more regular and she wrapped her dainty arms around his broad shoulders.

"My mate," Kagome purred to Sesshoumaru, cradling him against herself. Sesshoumaru shifted slightly, making himself more comfortable on her shoulder. Kagome smiled. Soft, wispy kisses fluttered across his shoulders. Getting sleepy, Kagome nuzzled Sesshoumaru's neck, his strong scent lulling her to sleep.

Sesshoumaru flinched suddenly, startling the young demoness under him. Kagome whimpered in worry for her master's well being. What made him flinch so suddenly?

On the inside, Sesshoumaru was fighting against his beast, wanting to gain control of the current situation. As the battle raged on, Sesshoumaru's beast yipped in pain. His mate instantly bent and started to lick his cheek comfortingly and rubbing her finger tips softly over his back.

Shocking the demoness, Sesshoumaru pushed her away from her roughly, causing her to whimper in pain and shock. Her whimpering continued as Sesshoumaru's eyes flickered between his usual gold and his piercing red.

"Get...dressed," Sesshoumaru ground out roughly, still trying to fight back his beast. Before Kagome could respond Sesshoumaru's beast whined that he didn't want her to go. Sesshoumaru snapped is jaw at his beast's foolishness.

The red in Kagome's eyes also began to fade. Realizing the position she was in, she jumped up off of his bed and made her way hastily to the pile of clothes that were on the floor by the end of the bed.

Although the clothes were badly torn, she threw them on quickly in desperation of leaving his room immediately. Looking down at herself briefly, she noted that the kimono had lost most of both sleeves and was embarrassingly short.

Not wanting to linger in his presence for too much longer, bolted for the door, unlocked it, slid the shoji screen open, and literally ran down the hall. Maneuvering around corners, almost falling into walls and skidding to a stop, she stopped just out side of the large servant quarters. She hastily pulled back the door and closed it immediately after she was inside.

All of the other servants were still sleeping soundly in their pallets and cots, unaware of the young slave's distress. Sliding her back down the screen door and bringing her knees up to her chest, she lowered her head and let her tears begin to fall. All of the memories of last night washed over her like a tidal wave. Although she was not in control of her own body, nor could she feel anything, she saw everything her beast did to her Lord. What she did was shameful. It was never intended to happen.

A light sting irritated her left shoulder, effectively knocking her out of her self-pity rut. Pulling down the tattered kimono, she looked over but saw nothing. Running her finger tips lightly over the base of her neck, her eyes widened at what she felt. Kagome traced over to now healing circles imprinted into her neck, revealing to the world that she was Master Sesshoumaru's mate.

What had she done?

Not yet edited. I'm tired, but I will edit it later on. I promise. [wink]
