Mating Ceremony

　

"Tea ceremony, check. Dinner manners, check. Dancing, check. Walking like a shadow, check. Greeting expectations, check. What else about this kami damned ceremony am I forgetting?" Kagome wondered idly as she sat patiently while Sekira worked on her hair.

Rin and Jaken were in a far wing of the palace and would not be attending for the child's own safety. Rin was just far too fearless and curious for her own good. She would also be seen as a possible weakness and a target to those lords who did not get along with Sesshomaru and were only attending due to honour, societal expectations, and to remind others of their power and status.

It was noon now and their guest would be arriving soon. She had been getting ready since morning, allowing Sekira and several other maids to attend to her. The only thing they didn't touch was her makeup, that she did herself as they were unfamiliar with it and tended to put too much on anyhow.

They were working on her hair right now, taking the style out of one of the few books she had brought with her. She felt her patience wear thin until she remembered that parading to a bunch of arrogant taiyoukai and their mates was up next. Then she felt like she could sit forever as her stomach insisted it was full of butterflies.

"We are done." Came the dreaded words of Sekira as they took a step back.

Kagome stood up and studied herself in the tall mirror, worth a fortune at this point in time. Her outer kimono was black with emerald green birds in flight. Her eye shadow was green with white highlights. Her slippers were black, not that anyone would see them. Her hair was done up in a long, intricate braid with white and green flowers, picked by Rin of course, braided into it.

She wore expensive jewellery, all provided by her mate of course, and even presented by him. She remembered the feeling of her heart fluttering when he had offered her the jade and diamond tiara on her forehead. She had gasped in shock and tried to refuse such an expensive item she felt she could not accept.

He had commanded her to wear it and she had relented. Along with the tiara, she wore a jade and diamond necklace and ring on her ring finger. Her earrings were in the shape of an Inuyoukai in its dog form, made from more diamonds, with jade eyes. The shear value of the jewellery she was wearing was more then she could ever hope to earn in a life time of work.

She couldn't help but to stare in amazement at the figure before her in the mirror. She didn't even recognize herself. She posed for Sekira, having taught the Kitsune how to use her camera. Her mother would want pictures after all.

Unfortunately, Sesshomaru had found out Kagome had taught Sekira how to use the camera and had charged the kitsune with taking pictures of the three day ceremony. Kagome couldn't help but to wonder what the person developing the film was going to think.

"He or she would probably figure it's just a masquerade party, or an Anime convention," she thought amused.

Four years ago she would have thought the same. Now she wondered what had happened to all the youkai in her time and wondered if they had gone into hiding, or simply adjusted and fit into life as a normal 'human.' After all, other than the marks, easily hidden by makeup, and the eyes, easily hidden by contacts, and the claws, easily filled down, anyone from her own time would mistake Sesshomaru for human. Granted, a very beautiful human, but human nonetheless.

She posed for Sekira, letting the kitsune take ten pictures in total, all from different angles and such. After the tenth click, Sesshomaru walked in, wearing his usual, royal, white garb only without the armour and the flowers were blue instead of red. He still had his swords strapped to his hip as well. The only new thing he was wearing was the sapphire and gold tiara on his own head, considerably larger then hers and she suddenly wondered if these were the crowns of the western lands. She didn't bother to ask.

They stood together as the kitsune used the last four pictures in the camera. Kagome quickly replaced the film, before heading out. She walked slightly behind Sesshomaru and to his right, like a shadow. The few servants they passed quickly bowed and stepped aside to let them pass.

"Now he'll have to let me return home to visit my family," she thought in delight. "After all, he doesn't know how to develop film."

They stopped at a set of double doors that led down to the hall. She felt nervousness overcome her. Behind those doors were some of the most powerful taiyoukai in the world. Most could kill her before she even saw them move.

She took a deep breath, lifted her head high, and braced herself as she stepped up to his side and took his hand hesitantly in her own. The herald announced them and she swore her heart stopped.

　

　

"The Lord and Lady of the Western lands, Sesshomaru-sama and his mate, Kagome-sama."

Kouga and Sango turned to face the large double doors. Many youkai had sneered at her, many more asking Kouga if they could borrow her for the evening. She used every ounce of her training to ignore them. Kouga answered them in either a growl, politely or rudely depending on the askers rank.

He was wearing his usual clothes while she was wearing a nice green Kimono with brown wolves on it, borrowed from one of the female ookamiyoukai of his tribe. Her hair was up in her ponytail and the two of them truly did look good together. Many assumed they were a pair.

"Oh kami," Sango thought in a gasp as Kagome walked forward, dressed in more finery then could be found throughout many villages combined. "Are those emeralds and diamonds!" she thought shocked.

Kagome was doing well, she noted. Her head was high as she matched Sesshomaru step for step as they made their way down the stairs and onto the floor. Speech resumed the moment both set of feet hit the ground floor, many moving forward to congratulate the pair.

"Let's wait a while Kouga-sama," she suggested.

She wanted to see how Kagome was doing before she moved in, not to mention study Sesshomaru more. The last thing she wanted to do was anger him, resulting in her death, or even harm coming to Kagome.

"A good idea. I don't think Sesshomaru-sama will be too happy to see me," Kouga admitted.

"And probably even less to see me," Sango added.

Sango watched Kagome as Kouga entertained several lesser youkai lords. Kagome seemed to be okay, her head high, her eyes clear. She seemed slightly nervous, but not afraid. She didn't resent Sesshomaru's touch, nor seemed to encourage it. It was all very proper.

Dinner was announced and she followed Kouga to their seat at a lesser table. A toast was made to the new couple, as well as many calls for a kiss from the lesser youkai. She feared Kagome would refuse, or fight it, but she didn't. She did seem a little surprised, but Sango recognized that stance she took. 'I'm doing it only because I have to.' That's what they called it.

She was impressed by Kagome's skills, clearly having had some training in the week before hand. That was good. Her eating skills were exceptional, her grace amazing. She was so side tracked watching Kagome, she almost didn't notice Kouga trying to get her attention.

"Yes my lord?" she asked, almost forgetting to speak in the honorific.

"How are we going to approach them?" he asked calmly, his own eyes locked on them now that the other lords and ladies were distracted.

"How about during the dance? It is customary to switch partners isn't it?" Sango answered.

"Yes. But you would have to be stupid to think Sesshomaru-sama doesn't know we are here. He probably picked out our scents before he even walked into the hall and I can guarantee he won�t let me within one hundred feet of her."

"Yet he hasn't done anything to get rid of us. Kagome-sama hasn't noticed us yet."

"She's been too busy playing the Lady to those taiyoukai. Shall we get to her during the dance then?"

"Yes. Or at least try to. Just because Sesshomaru-sama is ignoring us now doesn't mean he will ignore us if we try to talk to her. However, if she notices us she'll want to talk to us and nothing will stop her once she sets her mind on something. He'll have to let us talk or make a scene, something he won�t want to do in front of the other lords."

Kouga nodded his head, a little surprised by her amazing battle planning. Dinner went on and shortly after the meals had been cleared away, the dancing commenced. As was custom, the lord and lady danced alone first, then the others joined.

　

　

The lords before her were powerful, her Miko powers let her know that. True, they were not as strong as Sesshomaru but they could give him a good fight, and two of them fighting together could possibly kill him, baring Tensaiga of course.

She smiled at them, thanking them respectfully for their false, warm welcomes, although many did a very poor job hiding their sneers. Well, most were false. Very few were quite genuine. She made sure to note them as possible allies. She met their mates, for those that were mated, and received their bows and offered her own in return, different levels of bowing to each guest.

"Thank kami we worked this system out or I would have already made us look like fools hours ago," she thought as Sesshomaru squeezed her hand lightly, letting her know that this lady would receive only a nod of the head in acknowledgment.

Sekira was running around with the camera, taking pictures of everyone and everything. Dinner was an interesting affair and she was thankful at least some of the food was edible by humans. After all many youkai ate human food and some enjoyed it, even if they didn't need it.

When the crowd called for a kiss she nearly lost her control, but obediently turned to face him and allowed him to kiss her far more deeply then she would have liked. Still, she couldn't exactly retaliate, not in front of so many youkai.

One thing was causing her concern during the evening so far. Sesshomaru kept looking off into the distance, as though watching something or someone. He didn't seem angry or nervous, just annoyed about something.

With everyone somewhat distracted by dinner she was able to scan the crowd, her eyes almost falling out of their sockets when she spotted Kouga speaking to someone, who was hidden from view since the ookamiyoukai was talking to the other person.

"Kouga-san is here. Is that what has you displeased my lord?" she asked, almost saying kun instead of san after Kouga's name. That would have surely angered him.

Sesshomaru looked down at her, surprised she had picked up on his annoyance, though of course his face didn't show it.

"I assure you, my lord, I have no feelings other than that of friendship for him," she assured him. "Why do I recall having this same conversation with Inuyasha?" she thought slightly in amusement.

"You assume this Sesshomaru is jealous?" he challenged, a hint of steel in his voice.

"No, my lord," she denied. "I assume my lord would be displeased by open affections from another to his mate, and even more displeased if his mate returned those feelings of affections," she corrected, thankful she had packed her history book after all.

Proper ways of speech and appeasing a high lord, especially a taiyoukai, was not something a common person should ever be cursed with having to do. She was very convinced she was cursed when it came to men, rather they be youkai, hanyou, or human.

"I am not pleased he came. I assume you wish to speak with him?"

"If only to see if he gave my gift to my friends," she answered, a smile on her face as she could just imagine how that outcome would have been like. "If it pleases my lord, I wish to speak with him," she added respectfully, remembering that they were not alone at the table and many youkai could hear their conversation just fine. "Wimpy wolf. Dog face. Hack. Kick. Slash. Punch. Yep. That's about how that meeting went," she thought, holding back a sigh that was threatening to turn into a laugh.

Dinner finished without incident and they went down to the floor to begin the dancing. She followed his lead for the first two scores before she was passed onto the Lord of the Eastern Lands.

The nine-tailed kitsune was extremely gentle and one of the few who had truly been warm to her. He reminded her of Shippo and a warm father all at the same time and she felt a pang of homesickness. The dance was pleasant before she was passed on to the Lord of the Southern Lands.

The birdyoukai was extremely aloft and held her as if she were no more than an ornament in his arms, trying to keep her as far away from him as possible without offending her mate. His wings positively bristled and she almost expected to see feathers fall out, a clear sign of his agitation.

"Jerk," she thought.

The Lord of the Northern Lands held her next. The ookamiyoukai reminded her of Kouga for some reason and he had also greeted her warmly. From him, she was passed onto the four quadrants. North-western, South-western, South-eastern, and North-eastern.

Lord Derten greeted her kindly, as did the lord of the South-eastern lands, the eagleyoukai completely different from the birdyoukai who had held her earlier.

After them she was free to mingle, her obligations done for the evening to the other lords of note. Some of the lesser youkai talked to her kindly, although almost everyone avoided her, for which she was thankful.

The lesser youkai feared her purifying powers while the greater held her in contempt for being a mere human.

"Jerks and cowards. Half of them I could kill in seconds and the other half are too damn arrogant to admit I exist," she grumbled to herself.

"Kagome-sama," came a familiar voice from behind her, interrupting her thoughts.

"Kouga-san," she greeted him with a warm smile. "It is good to� Sango-chan?" She nearly gaped at her friend, but managed to stop at the last minute.

"Kagome-sama," Sango bowed respectfully.

Kagome almost forgot to nod her head in acknowledgement, too shocked to see her friends here.

"How did you get here?" Kagome asked.

"Kouga-sama, being a lord, was invited so I asked to come along. I figured you would want to see a friend and you know Inuyasha. He wouldn't believe a thing Kouga-sama said so Houshi-sama volunteered me to come and see how you are doing. Is there someplace we can talk?" Sango asked.

"The gardens are open," Kagome answered, quickly retreating with Sango on her heels as Kouga said he would try and distract Sesshomaru, if the taiyoukai decided to hunt them down, to give them some time alone.

Once alone in the large gardens, sitting on a bench next to a pond, Kagome wrapped Sango in a desperately needed big hug.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you," she said, tears threatening to spill.

"We were so worried about you. When Inuyasha said he picked up and Sesshomaru and your scents, we feared the worst. He was furious when we found the cave. Did he hurt you in anyway?" Sango asked seriously, locking her eyes with those of the friend she considered a sister. "Inuyasha said he smelt your blood."

"Yes and no." Kagome answered hesitantly, uncomfortable with the subject, but truly needing to get it off of her chest. "It did hurt, but Sesshomaru wasn't being deliberately violent. The blood was from his claws holding my hips. I remembered what you said, even though I had never been so terrified in my life. He hasn't hit me or tried to force me into his bed since those two nights. I am trying to be obedient, but it is so hard sometimes." Kagome felt tears threatening to spill.

Sango took her into a big hug and she let those tears fall, getting them out of her system and feeling all the better for it. After several minutes of crying with Sango rubbing her back and whispering encouragement, she regained control wiped the tears away, and sat up again.

"Arigato, Sango-chan. I needed that," she thanked.

Sango nodded her head. Once Kagome had composed herself again, she asked the question weighing on everyone's minds.

"Kagome-chan, are you with child?" Sango asked, almost dreading the answer.

Kagome blinked at her in surprise before answering. "I don't know. Sesshomaru hasn't said anything to me about it. I figured it was still a little too soon for him to know."

"No. It's been over a week. He would know. He just might not want to tell you, depending on his feelings over the situation. Are you aware what is expected of you both tonight and tomorrow night?" Sango asked, dreading the answer.

"Huh?" Kagome asked, confusion in her voice as she blinked at her friends stupidly.

Sango could have killed him at that moment. He should have warned her, should have explained what was expected of her, or at least got one of his staff members to do so.

"The new couple are expected to consummate their marriage. It is expected for you to mate both tonight and tomorrow." Sango answered slowly, not liking having to tell her friend this and furious that she could do nothing to stop it and that she had to explain it in the first place.

"What? He never mentioned this before." Kagome snarled, her powers rising in response to her anger.

"Probably because he feared your reaction would cause you to lose focus during the main ceremony today. Tomorrow the men go out and hunt while the women stay behind and talk. It is hard to mess that up." Sango reasoned.

"He still should have told me," she snarled, her power rose more.

"Kagome-chan," Sango said seriously, tears in her eyes as she told her friend something she most definitely didn't want to. "Kagome-chan," she started again, "the other lords will know if you do not mate. They will be able to smell it."

Kagome's face fell, her powers dropping.

"I have no choice?" she asked in a strangled whisper.

"None. Like that night, you will mate three times. Once at sun down, once at midnight, and once at dawn. The same thing tomorrow night. After tomorrow night the ceremony is complete and you will never have to mate with him again."

"Unless if he demands it of course," Kagome snarled, her anger rising even higher than it had before.

"Kagome-chan, calm down. Your power is intoxicating to a taiyoukai, while threatening to the lesser youkai. You yourself said he never demanded anything of you. As his mate he could have commanded you to bed him whenever he feels like it. It is likely he does not want to do this anymore then you do, but custom demands it."

"How is Inuyasha handling this?" Kagome asked, changing the subject, hoping it would help to calm her down.

"Not well, but better than expected. He's mad at himself for not seeing you home first before sealing himself up. To him it's like all of his effort was in vain, a big joke. He's also mad at Kouga for leaving you with Sesshomaru."

"And Shippo-chan?"

"He misses you and worries about your safety. He wants to be here with you to protect you. We all miss you very much. Without you, it just doesn't feel the same."

Sango was going to say more but Kagome interrupted her, speaking without even turning around.

"Yes, My Lord?" she asked coldly.

She had felt his youki coming up from behind them, having no doubt felt her flare of power and coming to investigate it.

Sango looked over their shoulder in shock to stare at Sesshomaru, having not noticed his arrival. Apparently Kouga was a poor distraction after all. Either that or the ookamiyoukai was dead.

He didn't speak and Kagome still did not turn to face him.

"If there is nothing, then I would like to continue my talk with Sango-chan, if it pleases you my Lord," she said coldly.

"It does not please me," he answered just as coldly.

"Really?" She stood up and turned to face him, locking his ice cold gaze with one of her own. "Then we are even. Tell me, my Lord, when did you plan on telling me about the rest of this ceremony? Was it going to be before or after you took my body again?" she asked, her anger rising, though her voice remained calm.

Sesshomaru's eyes flickered to Sango briefly, but Kagome caught it.

"You should thank Sango-chan. She is the one who warned me about Midsummer Eve and how to react to your advances. Had it not been for her knowledge I would most likely be dead and a furious Inuyasha would be hunting you down, assuming Kouga-kun," she added the 'kun' just to barb him, "or my other friends didn't get to you first."

"The sun is setting," he stated calmly, not rising to her bait as Inuyasha would have.

"So it is," she noted. "I will adjourn to our chambers shortly, as I have already been informed there is no way out of this. However, I do have one last question for my Lord before he leaves. Will my Lord answer truthfully, or hedge around the answer?" she challenged.

"I do not lie." he said simply, silently fuming at her disrespect, but not disgracing himself enough to rise to her bait like a child where the other lords might catch wind of it.

"Good. Am I with child? Sango-chan says you would already know and I trust her judgment. She hasn't been wrong yet."

He hesitated, which took her by complete surprise. Sesshomaru did many things, but hesitating was not one of them.

"I am," she said, knowing it to be true, for she could think of no other reason for the mighty Sesshomaru to hesitate in anything he did or said.

She averted her gaze as her mind digested this new bit of shocking information.

"How long have you known? When did you plan on telling me? Or does being a mere human woman make me so low in rank that such information was not deemed relevant to me." She snarled at him, raising her eyes to match his and allowing her power to flare about her, showing her anger.

Sango felt her mouth dropping open in shock. Kagome was walking a very fine line right now. Even Sango could tell Sesshomaru was losing his patience with the disrespect being offered to him.

"Kagome-chan, please calm down," Sango pleaded, resting a hand on her shoulder. Being human prevented the purifying energy from harming her. "I know you are upset, but getting mad won�t fix or change things. What's done is done."

"Yes, you are right Sango-chan." Kagome sighed, finally breaking her eye lock with him, her purifying powers dropping. "Please forgive me my Lord. I forgot my place," she bowed to him respectfully, defeat in her voice and posture, as if she had lost the will to fight.

"I suspected, but only truly confirmed it the other night. I was going to tell you tonight," he answered.

She looked up at him, surprise written across her face. He turned and left as silently as he had came, almost seeming to stalk away.

"That was a dangerous game you just played." Sango berated, removing her hand from Kagome's shoulder. "He was very close to losing control."

"As was I. This isn't the first time this has happened, and I am not always the one to back down. He never backs down completely though. Somehow he manages to divert my anger into something else." She sat back down next to Sango, suddenly very tired of all the posturing.

"Like what?" Sango asked.

"Fear usually, or surprise. Or Rin-chan comes bounding in and I can't stay mad when the little girl is around. Sango-chan, how long are you going to be here?"

"The full mating ceremony. After that I am not sure I can stay," she answered.

"I can really use a friend right now. I have so much I need to get off my chest. Things only a human woman could understand."

Tears were threatening to fall again, and Sango took her into a strong hug.

"Easy, Kagome-chan, Easy. Everything will work out." Sango soothed. "We'll talk tomorrow. I am sure the other youkai women won�t notice two humans running off, even if one of them is the new Lady of the Western Lands. You just make it through tonight. Okay?"

"Okay." Kagome agreed, nodding her head in determination.

Kagome quickly wiped her tears away before standing up, straightening her dress and hair and walking, with head held high, back into the main ball room. Sango followed her, watching her friend walk with pride back through the room, up the stairs, and through the double doors leading to the royal wing.

Kagome continued to her chambers, where Sekira was waiting to help her out of her elaborate get up. She stood still as Sekira took all of the clothes off, let her hair down, brushed it out until it fell in black waves down her back, and washed the makeup off of her face.

Now unclothed she stood before the door to their shared bedroom before taking a few deep, calming breaths before walking in, head held high. He wasn't there yet. She crawled into the bed and lay on her back, studying the ceiling.

She didn't have to wait long for his door to open and for him to step in. She was used to seeing his nude form by now, but she still couldn't help but to feel a touch of apprehension.

He joined her, but still didn't touch her. She turned her head to look at him, fear in her eyes, although she did a good job of holding it down.

"It will not hurt," he said in an obvious effort to calm her down.

She nodded her head and turned to look at the other wall. She nearly jumped when his mouth found her neck.

"Relax," he whispered in her ear.

She forced some of the tightness out of her muscles. His mouth explored her slowly, his hand absently stroking one of her breasts. She felt her body respond to his gentle touch, a little surprised.

He moved his mouth over her neck and across her cheek to her mouth. She obediently opened it to his prodding. She felt the heat rising in her body as his tongue stroked her tenderly. She whimpered, her body caught between pleasure and fear.

"Relax," he whispered again in her ear. "Do not fight it."

Numbly nodding her head as his tongue sought her mouth again, exploring it softly and slowly. His mouth moved from her face, down her neck, across her chest, and to her nipple.

She moaned as he began to tease it. It felt so good, his silk like hair tickling her gently. Her entire body was slowly starting to burn with a need she didn't recognize, and slightly feared. Her fear was fast becoming distant.

　

　

His mouth moved to her other nipple, and she gasped again. Smiling inwardly that he had managed to calm her down, even got her to desire his touch, he moved back up to her mouth, his hand moving down her side to her entrance.

He began to stroke it with his fingers. She moaned and whimpered beneath his touch. She was wet. Still he moved them in, stroking her inside. She gasped and whimpered in pleasant delight.

Satisfied, he removed his hand and moved her legs apart, positioning himself above her. He continued to kiss her as a distraction, then thrust into her. She gasped. He let her get use to his presence inside of her before he began his strokes; calm, slow and steady.

She groaned in pleasure. He went faster, his own need starting to overcome him and he found it harder to control himself. He could tell she was getting close to her release as she moaned pitifully beneath him.

Her hips rose to meet him desperately. She was caught in the fires of her joy, no longer caring who was giving her such pleasure. She just wanted her release. Smirking inward, he went faster, his own release coming to a peak.

She gasped as she finally got the release she wanted, his own coming a split second later as he walls clamped around him.

Unlike her, he didn't gasp or cry out. He rested, not even tired from such a short, small incursion. She was panting for breath, her face and body flushed and a look of horror crossed with contentment was on her face.

He pulled out of her, lying down beside her, pulling her unresistingly into his embrace so they were both facing her wall.

"Did that hurt?" he asked when she had calmed down a bit, though he could tell she was still in a little bit of shock.

"No," she stammered. "It was�"

"Acceptable," he supplied when words clearly failed her.

She nodded her head dumbly. He could tell she was confused and frightened. Confused as to her feelings of the matter and frightened about her bodies own reactions to his touch.

"Undoubtedly, she feels like she has betrayed my brother," he thought, slightly amused and angry at the same time.

He admitted he was slightly jealous that something that belonged to him still thought of his brother. He would fix that. After the ceremony was finished she would not think of Inuyasha again.

It wasn't that he had any feelings for her. It was more or less the satisfaction of knowing she desired him over his brother. It was also only proper. For a moment he wished she had been born a taiyoukai. She would have made the perfect mate then. Strong, beautiful, powerful, wilful, and obedient�.. for the most part.

Wait! Didn't his brother want that damn jewel so he could be a full youkai? Couldn't she find it? Could that jewel not extend her life? Turn her into a youkai? If it could, if he could turn her into a youkai, the west would be a thousand times more powerful.

"All I would have to do is wish for any of my family to be a full youkai and not only would she become a full youkai, but so would my unborn child. Also, Naraku has a large portion of that jewel and I planned on killing him anyway.

"She also expressed interest in hunting down the jewel, claiming it was a part of her quest, all but demanding to return to her hunt and I have no real use for the jewels power."

He would wait until after the ceremony. He would let her go home to develop that film and gather the supplies she needed to teach Rin, then they would head out to hunt Naraku again, together.

His mind wandered from there to the youkai taijiya. The woman had calmed Kagome down and had reminded her of her place. She was also human. Perhaps it would do to have the taijiya stay a little longer to help Kagome adjust to her life with him. After all, if the taijiya had been the one to help Kagome through Midsummer Eve, than the basic life of a youkai would be easy. That and Kagome seriously needed a friendly shoulder to cry on. Even he could see that.

The ookami would have to go though. Kouga was not acceptable in his opinion. He was brash, rude, and just too much like his hanyou brother. His blood told him it was midnight. He noticed Kagome had falling asleep and let her be. He was a traditionalist, but not that deep of one.

His scent was on her. Hers was on him. The lords would know they had mated and that was all that mattered. Besides, if he was to hunt down Naraku he would need her co-operation as he would not be able to sense or see the jewel shards. First, he would have to win her trust.
