Chapter 5: Surprises
Kagome woke up a while later, still snuggled to Sesshoumaru's side in the same position as when she had fallen asleep. She moved her one arm out from underneath her body and put it in front of herself. She was about to drift back to sleep when Sesshoumaru's hand on her shoulder moved, massaging her shoulder a bit. Kagome opened her eyes and looked up to his face, and his his intense golden gaze settled on her.
"Mmmm, what time is it?" she asked, pressing a quick kiss to the crook of his neck.
Sesshoumaru glanced over at the clock on the bedside stand next to him and then looked back at her. "It's a little after ten thirty," he said. "You've been asleep for a couple of hours."
"I'm going to get lazyshe she said, a huge grin in place. Then she sat up and scooted towards the edge of the bed. "Want some breakfast?" she asked as she grabbed her robe and pulled it on.
Sesshoumaru sat up and watched her as she walked toward the door, his eyes watching her butt, a lecherous grin in place. His eyes traveled up her back and widened as he made eye contact with her, his grin disappearing. "Yes. I believe that would be nice," he said, acting as if he hadn't been sta at at her.
Kagome smiled at him and walked over to his side of the bed and gave him a quick kiss, pulling away before he could pull her into his lap. "You can stare if you like," Kagome whispered as she pulled away.
Sesshoumaru smirked at her while he reached up and pulled her to him by her robe. "Good," he said as he pulled the top of her robe open.
Kagome quirked an eyebrow at him and swatted at his hands. "What about breakfast?" she asked.
"I already have what I want," he told her.
"Hentai," Kagome muttered, grabbing his hands. "Not this time, big boy," she told him. "I need some food." She saw a frown appear on his face, though it looked more like he was pouting. Kagome smiled at him and tossed his pants in his face.
Sesshoumaru pulled his pants off of his head, and pulled them on. He followed her out to the kitchen and watched her get things out and start cooking. "I'm going to go next door and get a shower and some clean clothes," he told her, walking up behind her and kissing her on the head.
Kagome looked over her shoulder at him. "M'kay. Be quick, it won't take long for me to cook," she told him.
Sesshoumaru nodded and kissed her on her cheek. Before she could say anything else, he was already out the door. He entered the apartment that Inuyasha and Shippo used and quickly took a shower and got dressed. He tossed a few essentials into an overnight bag, along with a few changes of clothes, all the while listenin the the noise in Kagome's apartment in case she finished making breakfast before he got back.
Kagome looked towards the door when she heard it open, smiling when she saw Sesshoumaru walk back in. She returned her focus to her cooking while he took off his shoes. "I suppose you took my keys so that you could get back in?" she asked. She glanced over her shoulder in time to see him nod. She turned back to the food she was preparing and was startled when Sesshoumaru's head appeared over her shoulder, peering at the food. Kagome looked at him and placed a quick kiss on his cheek.
"Would you please set the table?" she asked him. He nodded, though he looked a bit confused. Kagome smiled and pointed to different cupboards and drawers, telling him where what was. A few minutes later, she glanced at the kitchen table, and smiled when she saw that the table was set, which was good because the food was almost done as well.
"You can go sit in the living room, if you like. It'll be a few minutes before everything is ready," she told him, only half lying. She saw Sesshoumaru nod once and walk out of the room, and then turned back to the food. Kagome quickly set some water in a tea pot on the stove to heat while she dished out the food. By the time the food was set out on the table, the water had boiled and Kagome had put the tea leaves in the water to seep for a bit.
"Everything is ready," she called to Sesshoumaru as she sat the tea on the table. He walked in the room just as she sat down, and just stood there for a minute, staring at the table.
Sesshoumaru was a bit stunned; Kagome sat on the opposite side of the table from where he stood, and in front of her was a traditional breakfast. And it looked absolutely delicious. The food looked good, as well. He walked forward, sitting opposite of her, and reached for the tea, but his hand met with Kagome's already on the pot. He looked up at her and withdrew his hand, allowing her to serve him.
Kagome served the tea, a faint blush on her cheeks as she remembered several of the previous times that she had done so for him after they had first mated. She waited until Sesshoumaru had begun to eat before she picked up her own chopsticks and began to eat. They ate in a comfortable silence for a while. Kagome was impressed with herself; this was the best meal that she had prepared in a very long time.
"That was very good," Sesshoumaru told her after he had finished eating, looking up at her. He was pleased when she looked up at him, a small smile in place.
"Thank you," Kagome said. She noticed his empty cup and moved to fill it again for him.
Sesshoumaru stared at Kagome, noticing how e she she looked. He stood and walked to her side of the table, and sat down next to her. He placed a hand on her chin and brought her gaze to his. "You need to relax," he told Kagome, leaning in to place gentle kisses on her eyelids. He pulled back to look at her half-lidded eyes. "Go take a shower; it will help you to relax some," he told her.
"But what about the dishes?" Kagome asked.
"I'll take care of those," Sesshoumaru told her. When he saw the odd look in her eyes, he continued. "I have not had servants to take care of this sort of matter all my life," he stated.
Kagome thought about it for a minute and then nodded with a small smile. "Okay. I'll go take a shower. Thank you," she said, kissing him on the cheek quickly before she got up and headed off for the bathroom.
A while later, Kagome came out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her hair and another wrapped around her body. She looked into the kitchen and saw that all the dishes had been washed, as well as a few other things. The stove, refrigerator, and countertop had all been washed until they sparkled.
She walked into the living room and up behind Sesshoumaru where he sat on the couch. Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her nose in his hair.
"I take it you got bored?" she asked. She felt him nod his head and his hand being placed on her arms. "I'm sorry I took so long. It just felt so good," she admitted.
Sesshoumaru turned his head and raised a hand to the back of her head. He held her head so that he had good access to her mouth and placed a gentle kiss to her lips. He felt her respond to the kiss and he deepened it, thrusting his tongue into her mouth, and stroked her tongue.
Kagome leaned into Sesshoumaru's mouth, half of her body hanging over the back of the couch, her towel loosening around her body and beginning to slip. She felt his hand slide from the back of her head to her waist, and then nearly screamed into his mouth when he tugged her the rest of the way over the back of the couch and into his lap. As she fell into his lap, she felt his hand tug at her towel and slip from her body.
Sesshoumaru made sure Kagome was settled in his lap and then trailed a claw up her side, to the towel wrapped around her hair and pulled it out, sinking his fingers in her still damp hair. He snaked his other arm around her waist and pulled her body closer to his.
Kagome pulled back for air and tilted her head to the side when Sesshoumaru trailed kisses down her throat to the mark at the crook of her neck that claimed her as his mate. Her hands went to work on the button and zipper of his pants and when she got those undone, she tugged his shirt free of his pants.
Sesshoumaru pulled his mouth from the mark and pulled his shirt over his head. He then sat Kagome on the couch and stood up, quickly removing his pants and boxers, releasing his hardening member.
Kagome stood up behind him and let her small hands circle his torso, her pert breasts pressing against his back. "How about we take this to the bedroom?" she asked. She trailed her hands down his stomach, but stopped before they went lower than his navel.
Sesshoumaru suddenly turned to her. "How about we leave it right here?" he suggested as he picked her up and sat back down on the couch with Kagome straddling his lap.
Kagome nodded, his member pressing into her stomach as she leaned forward to capture his lips in a passionate kiss. She felt his hands on the cheeks of her butt and groaned into his mouth as he massaged the flesh.
The clock in the living room chimed, notifying the occupants of the apartment that it was now five o'clock. Kagome groaned from her place on the floor, where they had ended up after only a couple hours of activity, though that had not stopped them. Kagome rolled to her left and molded herself to Sesshoumaru's side.
Sesshoumaru turned his head and buried his nose in her hair while he wrapped his free arm around her, her head already resting on one of them. "If you wish to speak to Aozora when she returns from work, you should get up," Sesshoumaru's smooth voice broke the stillness of the room that had returned after the clock had silenced.
Another groan came from Kagome, this one tired, but she rolled away from his body and moved to stand, but was restricted. "I can't get up with your arm holding me down," Kagome told him softly. She felt him hesitate, but then his arm was removed from her waist. "Thank you, I think," she said as she stood up and began walking down the hall towards the bathroom again.
She quickly showered again, wondering why she had taken a shower earlier anyway. But then decided that it had been for the best, since it had made her feel better. As did this shower. She got out, and this time headed straight for her room to get dressed. Kagome went to her closet and pulled out a pair of jeans, a slightly tight tank top, a lightweight, long sleeve over shirt, a thong and a matching push-up bra. She dressed and then took her hair out of the towel that it was wrapped in and draped the towel over her shoulders and began to brush her hair.
When she was done, she walked out into the living room again and walked around the couch. Kagome stood there a little shocked at the sight before her. Sesshoumaru was laying on the couch, one arm hanging off of the couch, mostly laying on the floor, the other draped over his eyes. And the only thing covering his body from her was one of her towels from her previous shower draped over his waist and thighs.
Kagome leaned down and placed a kiss on his forehead and then began to walk away, but stopped before she left the room. "I'll be back later. Why don't you take a bath or something? Kill some time," she suggested. She heard him grunt in reply, and blamed the lack of a verbal response on a lack of energy that had no doubt been the result of the day's activity. She stuck her tongue out at the back of the couch before she left the room. She walked to the door, slipping on some sandals and grabbing her keys before she left.
Kagome heard the elevator ding and she looked down to the end of the hallway to see Jade stepping off of the elevator. She was curious as to where Kat was, but was actually glad for her absence, giving her time to speak with Jade alone. Kagome waited for Jade to reach her apartment, a smile on her face, though she was wondering how she would start a conversation about youkai with the young woman.
"Hello, Aozora-san. Could I speak with you about something?" Kagome asked.
Jade was a bit worried, wondering what her boss could want to talk about, but tried not to think about the worst case possible. "Sure," she said. "My apartment or yours?" she asked.
Kagome looked back at her door, a slight blush appearing as she turn back to Jade. "Yours," she said.
Jade nodded and walked the short distance her apartment, stopping briefly to unlock the door. She walked inside, holding the door open with her foot for Kagome while Jade put her keys and purse down. She took her jacket off while Kagome closed the door behind herself. Jade led them into the kitchen and they sat down at her kitchen table. Kagome sat down almost as if she was at work, sitting at her desk, while Jade sat sideways, staring out the kitchen window, that didn't provide much of a view.
"Where is Kat?" Kagome asked, trying to create some small talk before she got into the bulk of the conversation.
"She had a date right after work," Jade said. "I could have gone if I had wanted to. I guess the guy had a friend, but I didn't feel up to it," she explained, wondering why she had told her so much more than needed.
Kagome nodded and couldn't think of anything else to say so she got down to it. "This isn't anything to do with work, just so you know. I'm just kind of concerned about you," Kagome started, trying to not sound completely insane.
Jade looked at her out of the corner of her eye. 'Maybe she knows about youkai. Maybe she's one of those rare people that can sense aura’s and she sensed it. Even if she isn't like that, she should still know about youkai; she's one of the highest ranked employees at the company and they always know,' Jade thought, studying the woman sitting at her kitchen table. She turned to face Kagome and looked her straight in the eye. "Do you know anything about ... supernatural things?" she asked her boss, hoping she didn't sound like a crazy woman.
Kagome smiled at her. "What? You mean like youkai?" she asked.
At first, Jade thought that Kagome was mocking her, but then she saw the honesty in her eyes. "Yes, exactly like youkai," she replied.
Kagome's smile only got bigger. "I should know at least a little bit about them. I am mated to one, after all," she told her.
Jade's jaw nearly hit the table at that. "Are you kidding me?" she asked as she tried to calm herself a bit, actually succeeding some when Kagome shook her head.
"That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm actually a miko and I sensed a youkai aura around you, like you were being protected by a youkai. I wanted to make sure that your protector wouldn't be a threat to myself and my mate," Kagome told her, hoping to avoid the subject of who her mate actually was.
"Oh, that's no problem. Gyousei. Her name is Gyousei Jueru. I know she had a mate, and, both of them were youkai, but he died some years ago. I never found out what her mate's family name was, or even what his name was, but he was really nice. They had two children together. They helped my parents and myself when I was young, and I just kind of stayed under her protection after her mate and my parents died," Jade explained, noticing that Kagome's eyes had widened considerably at the mention of the youkai's name and her mate.
"Do you know how her mate died?" Kagome asked in a slightly shaky voice.
Jade nodded. "He got shot in a mugging or a robbery. Something like that," she replied. "But Jueru never let it affect her, at least as far as I could tell. She had two children of her own to take care of," Jade told her.
Kagome had gone extremely pale, but still tried to maintain her composure. "Thank you. I don't think Jueru will give me or my mate any problems. Thank you for your time," Kagome said, her voice a bit shaky. She got up and walked to the door with Jade following behind her.
"Are you alright?" Jade asked, concerned that she might have upset Kagome.
"I'll be alright," Kagome said absentmindedly. "Thank you and good bye," she said before she walked out the door and across the hall to her own door. She got her keys out and unlocked the door and went inside as quickly as her trembling hands could.
Jade stood in her door until Kagome had gotten inside her own apartment, and then went back inside her own to prepare some food.
Kagome dumped her keys on the table and slipped her sandals off and went to the living room. She flopped down onto the couch, her mind spinning.
Sesshoumaru looked into the living room from the hallway and became concerned when he saw how distressed Kagome looked. He walked to her and sat on the couch next to her, gathering her into his arms. He combed the fingers of his right hand through her hair, wondering what had happened.
"Kagome, what happened? Did she tell you?" he asked, the concern clear in his voice. "Did Aozora tell you who is protecting her?" he asked again when Kagome didn't respond at first.
Kagome nodded, her eyes staring straight ahead. "JueruKagoKagome told him the name.
Sesshoumaru knew there had to be more to it to upset her so much. He also knew of no youkai that went by the name Jueru, which worried him. He didn't want to pry though, so he continued to comfort her until she decided to speak again.
"Jade is protected by my mother," Kagome said, finally breaking through some of her shock and snuggling into his chest, allowing herself to take comfort from his strong arms. "Gyousei Jueru is my mother's name. Jade told me that the Jueru that protected her was mated to a youkai. Jueru's mate was shot, just like my father. And Jueru has two children," Kagome told him the basics of everything that she had learned from Jade.
Kagome turned tearful eyes to Sesshoumaru. "That means I'm a youkai," she said, burying her face into his chest, taking in Sesshoumaru's strong scent to calm her self.
"Is that so bad," Sesshoumaru asked her, stroking her hair, trying to soothe her worries.
Kagome shook her head. "No. But I wish I had known," she said, speaking into his chest. "How could I be a miko and a youkai at the same time?" Kagome asked not really expecting to receive an answer.
"If you would like, we could go see your mother this weekend. She will have the answers you need," Sesshoumaru said, still trying to comfort her with his voice and hands.
Kagome nodded. "Yes. I would like that," she said, calming a bit. "I most definitely need to talk to my mother."
