When they arrived at camp all eyes snapped to Kagome and Sesshomaru. Sometime during the night while everyone was sleeping Sesshomaru sent the mokomoko to retrieve clothes for them and so they walked into camp now with clothes on. Sesshomaru in an inverted version of his usual and Kagome in a red summer dress making them match. The Higurashi's immediately knelt before them.
"Welcome back, Princess Kagome and Prince Sesshomaru. We wish you only the best for your mating," Akeno said.
"Oh for the love of…! You guys know better! Get up," Kagome scolded her family. They raised her and knew how she felt about people believing and acting as if they were lower or higher than others. She was distracted from her ire when Rin crashed into her sending them crashing to the forest floor. Sesshomaru narrowly escaped the same fate by catching Shippo.
"It would seem my son and I are in need of some pouncing lessons," Sesshomaru said as he set Shippo down. He patted the young kit on the head as he stared up at him in adoration.
"Mama! Mama! Can we have some lessons together too," Rin asked from her place on Kagome's stomach.
"Yeah, sure. Of course, sweetie. Now get off my stomach you're crushing your brother or sister," Kagome said as she tried to catch her breath. Rin practically jumped off of her. Once Kagome was on her feet again she accepted a hug from Sango than Miroku. She then turned to Jaken who'd sat in stunned silence since their arrival. Sesshomaru arched a brow at Jaken and Shippo mimicked him making Rin giggle.
"Jaken." The sound of Sesshomaru's voice seemed to be the trigger that unfroze Jaken as the imp became animated.
"Milord, I would hope the princess would accept this lowly Jaken as her retainer," Jaken squawked as he bowed down.
"Hn," was the joint reply from Kagome and Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha and Kikyo had kept to themselves the whole time. They sat in a tree with Inu holding the priestess tight to his chest. He sighed knowing that it was their turn to pay respects to the newly mated couple. Being careful with Kikyo in his arms Inuyasha jumped down from his perch. Kikyo regarded the couple coolly. Somewhere deep inside, she was happy for them, but it was buried quite deep. For the most part she was feeling a mix of disgust for the youkai/human mating, apprehension from being held captive, and the urge to attack everyone there. She wouldn't because she still had some semblance of control over her dead body and soul. She was brought out of her thoughts when Inuyasha spoke.
"Ka-Kagome," he stuttered. He was never good with words and now that fact was a hundred times truer. "I hate the freaking bastard your mated to, but you deserve to be happy far more than I do. I know I lost the right to have any say in the matter b-b-but I want you to know that…that… that…Argh!" Inuyasha snarled and the scent of his blood filled the nostrils of all except Sango, Miroku, and Kikyo. Instead of scenting it they witnessed the evidence of what he'd done as blood dripped from his clenched fists onto the forest floor. The pain that sliced through Inuyasha helped him clear his mind.
"I want you to know that I agree with your mating. I hope you guys will always be happy and have lots of brats together. And if you and lord ice prick will have me, I'll be there for you as pack."
Sesshomaru was surprised at his brother. He hadn't expected anything like this from him. He expected shouting and vulgar language. He thought he'd have to subdue the baka to keep him from harming his pack. He expected for Inuyasha to be so upset his demon blood took him over. Of all the things he'd, Inuyasha finally growing up was not one of them. There was only one response he could give him now.
"Hn," his voice filled the silence that fell over the pack. Sango and Miroku didn't know what to say, but they gave small tentative smiles to their one time friend. Maybe there is hope for you after all my friend. Asami and Souta smiled brightly at him giving him support. After all he was like family to the Higurashi's. Shippo kept his expression stoic like his new father's expression, but his eyes gave him away. Rin smiled at her uncle already forgiving him.
"Your exile is lifted Inuyasha but your crimes are many and you still stand for punishment," Kagome followed her mates reply. She turned to Kikyo.
"Lady Kikyo, you also stand for punishment for your crimes, but first I must ask you this. What have you done wrong?"
"I was foolish in believing that I, a human priestess, could one day become a miko. I took on a heavy burden that was not mine to take and became twisted in my ambitions. I wrongly attacked the man I loved and let my prejudices keep us apart. In my death, I attempted to keep the jewel of four souls. I attempted many times to kill the Princess Kagome. I placed the young fox kit in danger. I have stolen souls and cast for bidden souls. Through my actions the abomination Naraku got sacred jewel shards. I brought pain and discord to my beloved Inuyasha and the dear Princess Kagome. My crimes are many, princess." When she finished he was surprised to feel something running down her face from her eyes. Reaching a hand to her face she pulled it away and found it wet. Tears.
"Sesshomaru-sama what would you have of Kikyo and Inuyasha as retribution" Kagome knew that in inuyoukai packs it was the male that dictated punishment and while she felt the pull to remain dominant she was far more eager to satisfy her mates nature. After all I had enough time being in charge last night and he's got the marks to prove it. She leaned her head against his chest as he contemplated Inuyasha and Kikyo. She also studied them critically.
Her rage had seemed to vanish in thin air leaving her mind clear. She no longer felt hurt at Inuyasha for cheating, but she was still upset with him for his behavior, lack of honesty, and treatment of her, Shippo, and the pack as a whole. Kikyo committed crimes against nature that needed ratification. Kagome could that being undead locked Kikyo's soul in turmoil and felt compelled to help her. But first we have to hurt her.
Sesshomaru studied the couple before him with a critical eye. He'd long wanted to teach Inuyasha a lesson about how to treat his pack, but now the pack belonged to Sesshomaru. He wouldn't kill the hanyou because he had his uses and the pack was already so used to him. In his peripheral vision Sesshomaru could see the varying smiles of his pack mates so killing the hanyou was out of the question. He could tell that even his mate no longer wished to kill the hanyou for what he'd done. Though it was obvious she still wasn't very happy with him.
"You will pay for your transgressions in flesh and blood. Now, come Inuyasha and Kikyo, Kagome and Shippo follow," Sesshomaru commanded. Kagome walked along side Sesshomaru, her arm loosely locked with his, with her chin held high and her face a sharp cool mask. Sesshomaru's own mask betrayed nothing of the punishment they were about to dish out. Together they made the perfect image of royal beauty, prince and princess, lord and lady, fire and ice. Shippo followed along in their shadow, slipping into the role of royal son as if it were in his blood to be as such. Inuyasha and Kikyo walked behind them, stony resolve to face the consequences of their actions showing in their eyes as they held hands.
Kikyo was shaking with fear. Her clay body did not use the air it breathed and her heart did not beat. Her veins hadn't held blood for fifty years. She had no true flesh being only a shell made of clay and remains. She couldn't pay the price he'd asked not out of unwillingness but by her undead nature. What will he do as the alternative? She feared that he'd either kill her or double Inuyasha's punishment.
When Sesshomaru was certain they were far enough away he stopped and looked into Kagome's face. There was something she wanted. No. It is something she needs. He could feel it through their bond. He could feel the Earth and Kikyo, the entire universe crying out for it. "Speak, miko," the pressure was testing his control. It made him want to shift into his true form.
"Kikyo must first pay for her crimes against miko and nature before she can pay the price against the pack. After all she lacks flesh and blood," Kagome said as her eyes shifted to the dead priestess. "Come here Kikyo." Soon as the miko stood before her Kagome wrapped her hands around her throat and began to squeeze. Inuyasha made to stop her but was held back by Sesshomaru.
"Calm yourself, brother. She means no harm," Sesshomaru snarled as he continued to fight the rising change. His eyes were bleeding red, and his features elongating. Everything went still again when a snap was heard and the clay head of Kikyo landed a ways away from them.
"Kikyo!" He watched horror struck as souls burst from the clay body.
"Oh no you don't." Kagome grabbed one soul. "We've got to put you back where you belong." Kagome held tight to the ball of blue light refusing to let go. She called forth a lightning bolt and Inuyasha was forced to snarl as she hurled the soul and bolt into the remains of Kikyo's body. The resulting explosion would have knocked him off his feet had Sesshomaru not been holding him and the blinding light and dust settled Sesshomaru released him and he collapsed.
"Ki-Kikyo," he whimpered at the scent of Kikyo's blood. She looked just the way she did before she pinned him to the Goshinboku. She was breathing but it was raspy and struggling as if they were her last breaths. He could feel no reiki in her as he carefully pulled her close. "Kikyo."
"Inu…yasha," Kikyo's voice was barely there. Tears were running down her face. "Oh, Inuyasha. I love you." Kikyo said her brown eyes filled with pain and the light of a fading life. "It hurts so much. This wound. I'd forgotten how much pain it was to live. The physical wounds and the love."
Kagome walked over to Sesshomaru and he pulled her close. His youki had calmed and he sported a frown as he watched the scene playing out before him. "Inuyasha, think of this as a mating gift. I'll not hear any talk of my selfishness you hear. Her time was cut short and I undid the wrong against nature that Naraku committed. The wound is grave and she is no longer a priestess. That is price enough for her crimes. Once she has paid the price of blood and flesh for the pack I will tend to her. She'll not be passing again anytime soon."
"Thank you, Princess Kagome," Kikyo rasped just before she passed out.
"Hn." Sesshomaru buried his nose into the top of his mate's head. So full of surprises.
"Come Inuyasha, pay your price," Kagome said. She stepped away from her mate and stood behind Inuyasha holding him back. She watched fascinated as Sesshomaru's face elongated. He blinked red eyes at Inuyasha then looked to his mate and son.
"Come Shippo, your first lesson," he growled. The fox kit followed obediently. Once Shippo was at his side he snarled again. This time Inuyasha whimpered knowing exactly what to do. Bowing his head and continuing his whimpering sounds, he waited for the pain. He made a shout of pain as fangs dripping poison sunk into the corner of his shoulder. His breath caught in his throat as he felt Sesshomaru tear a chuck out of him. The burn of the poison and the missing flesh was horrendous and he nearly vomited from the pain lurching through his body.
"Help him kneel Kagome," Sesshomaru commanded. "Now Shippo one of the first things I must teach you is to wound without killing. This way you will be able to cast punishment for any insults dealt against you or your sister. Now bite his other shoulder in the same area." He watched as Shippo did the same minus the poison.
"Mate, does this punishment satisfy you?" Sesshomaru looked into Kagome's eyes as she knelt behind Inuyasha.
"Yeah," Kagome muttered. She gently lay Inuyasha down. "How long until he's okay?"
"The wounds should seal within two days. The poison I used is one specialized just for punishing pack members," Sesshomaru growled. Instinct demanded that he do more to his brother but he could not do so without risk of permanent damage to Inuyasha. The poison would bleed him for two days straight and seal the wound at the end of those two days. For Kikyo he'd have to be a little more careful. She was now a plain human no priestess healing abilities to aid her and she already had a grave wound.
He moved over to the unconscious woman and made a single long cut down her uninjured arm. He had Shippo do the same. "Lord Inuyasha and Lady Kikyo have sufficiently paid their prices for their transgressions."

Koga raced through the forest. He was feral and out of control. He would dominate his bitch and destroy any that thought to get in his way. She would be punished for her insults and resistance. He would make her pack watch as he took her brutally and made her submit and become his. Yes, he'd make the inu brothers suffer. Perhaps once he had her and the offending males were disposed of he would give the slayer to his men. He would have no need for another woman with Kagome in his bed, even if he had to chain her there.
Last night there had been a great shift in the Earth. It made his hackles rise and had his wolves resisting him. They bent to the will of the great shift and somehow Koga knew it had something to do with his feisty little miko and the western lord. A seed of fear dug itself deep into his very soul but he was too far gone to heed it. The fear only managed to feed his rage. How dare they! They will pay!
(^_^)
Naraku was sending out swarm after swarm of Saimyosho. He was tired of this. Kagura, Kanna and the jewel were changing more and more with each passing day. He couldn't find his enemy's so he'd smoke them out. Kohaku seemed to be the only of his servants unaffected by the strange happenings. He'd send the boy to village's to lure out the inu tachi at the very least. After all the slayer would be totally and completely unable to resist going after her brother.
