Chapter 6: The Homecoming
The rest of the week passed relatively peacefully. Sesshoumaru moved most of his belongings into Kagome's apartment and tried to help her cope with her the knowledge of herself. Inuyasha spent much of his time at Muun's house; he hadn't liked Kagome's relationship with Sesshoumaru in the past, and he didn't like it now, in the present. Kagome tried to talk to him a few times at work during their lunch break, but he didn't want to talk, just as he had been in the past. Shippo, on the other hand, had been delighted when he found out that Kagome's mother was a youkai, therefore making Kagome a youkai herself.
The only thing that had not calmed had been Jade. She was still waking up with nightmares almost every night. She had actually talked to Kagome about them, since Kagome already knew about youkai, she felt much more comfortable talking to her. Jade had at least felt a bit better after talking to Kagome, even though her nightmares did not lessen.
Friday came, and Kagome and Sesshoumaru went to work in Kagome's car, having previously decided to leave for her mother's home right after work. She had called her mother Wednesday during her lunch break to let her know that she and her 'boyfriend' were coming to visit for the weekend. Friday ended up being uneventful; the only thing that happened was Kagome was called in to be consulted on the hiring another new employee. There had been an interview that she was to conduct set up for the following Monday. She had gone over the application and was pleased to find that the applicant was Shippo.
After work, Kagome met Sesshoumaru at the elevators and they rode down to the parking garage where Kagome had left her Mustang. She allowed Sesshoumaru to get into the driver's seat as she got in the passenger side. Kagome gave him directions to get to the shrine and then she relaxed in her seat, thinking about what all she had learned from Jade and what she knew herself.
'But if Momma was a youkai, why didn't she tell me, or say anything,' Kagome wondered. 'Though she was really cool about Inuyasha being a hanyou. Most people would have freaked out about that,' she thought, sighing.
Sesshoumaru glanced over at his mate when he heard her sigh, worried about her. She acted normal most of the time, but there were a few times when she really worried him. It was mostly when she was thinking about the possibility of her being a youkai. He knew it really worried her, but he knew she would be able to adapt easily; she always did. Wanting to comfort her, he did the only thing he could do while he was driving. He reached a non-clawed hand over and intertwined their fingers. They had decided that it would probably be best if he remained in his least demonic looking human form until after she had had some time to talk to her mother, though the more he thought about it, the more he was beginning to think otherwise.
After a few hours of driving, Sesshoumaru pulled her car into the back drive of the shrine. He gave Kagome's hand a quick squeeze before he released her hand to shift the car into park. Kagome looked up at him and then got out of the car, grabbing her large overnight bag out of the backseat. Sesshoumaru got out of the car, pocketing the keys after he opened the trunk, and grabbed his own bag.
Sesshoumaru walked over to where Kagome stood waiting for him and gave her shoulder a quick, reassuring squeeze. "Everything will be fine. I'll be right here by your side," he told her quietly before Kagome's mother came out of the house to greet them.
"Oh, it's been too long since you last visited, Kagome, dear," her mother said, enveloping Kagome in a large bear hug, causing Kagome to drop her bag.
Kagome returned the hug, glad to see her mother again, even though she had an abundance of questions to ask her. Kagome pulled back a bit and motioned to Sesshoumaru, who, she noticed, had changed into his more demonic form of the past, instead of staying in his more recent form. She mentally shrugged, wondering why briefly, but decided that instead of worrying about it now, she would just ask him later.
"Mom, this is my boyfriend, Sesshoumaru," Kagtoldtold her mother, wondering how she would react to the youkai that Kagome had just declared as her boyfriend.
"Nice to meet you, Sesshoumaru-san," she said, bowing slightly.
Kagome grabbed her mother's arm after picking her bag up from the ground and started to gently pull her towards the house. "Mom, we need to talk about a few things," Kagome said, looking back at Sesshoumaru as he followed them towards the house.
After the three of them had sat down in tittiitting room with tea to drink, Kagome's mother looked at her expectantly. "You said we needed to talk?" she asked curiously.
Kagome nodded, but she really didn't know how to start such an odd conversation. Sesshoumaru saved her by speaking up first. "Jueru-san. I believe there are a few things you should tell your daughter," he said, his voice calm and cool.
She looked at him, a bit curious as to how he knew that name. She never used it anymore, and only a few people knew of her use of it. She looked back to her daughter, a small, sad smile on her lips.
"I guess you found out," she said, her words more of a question than a statement. Kagome nodded. "How, may I ask?"
"A girl that lives in the same building as me is a co-worker of mine as well. She's under your protection," Kagome said quietly. "I sensed the aura around her, and then talked to her about it," she added as an explanation
"Well, at least Jii-chan's spells haven't been broken, then," Jueru said, the same sad smile still on her face, now visible in her eyes.
Kagome looked up at her, making direct eye contact. "You had Jii-chan put spells on me?" she asked, quite shocked at the news. "I thought his spells didn't work? They never seemed to work before," Kagome said.
"Oh, they work just fine," said a male voice from the doorway of the sitting room.
Kagome looked up and saw Jii-chan standing within the doorway, leaning against the wall, only it didn't really look like the Jii-chan she knew. Then she realized what it was that was different. He looked much younger, maybe thirty-five, and had pointed ears, claws, fangs, and his eyes glowed with the power his lean, almost thin, body hid. He stood considerably taller, as well. He now had a full head of long black hair, instead of the short, almost white hair he usually had. He also had a light blue diamond under his left eye, but that was the only mark on the fine skin of his face.
"I want the spells taken off of me," Kagome said, looking down at the table in front of her, her voice as icy as Sesshoumaru's. She couldn't believe her family would do something like that to her.
"We can't do that," Jueru said, her voice calm as she tried to soothe her angered daughter with it.
Kagome looked back at her mother and saw that she was now showing her demonic attributes. Her hair was a bit longer and darker, with a few green and blue streaks in it, and her eyes glowed green. Her fingernails lengthen to claws, and though Kagome couldn't see it, she was sure her mother now had fangs. She looked considerably younger now, almost as young as Kagome. Jueru had a small forest green heart under her right eye and a lighter green circle high on her forehead.
"You have no control right now. If we were to remove the spells now, it could become very dangerous to you and people around you," she said, becoming worried about the intense emotions beginning to come from her daughter in waves.
Kagome's gazid bid between Jueru and Jii-chan, sliding over both of them, her anger evident in her eyes. "So what am I suppose to do? Just pretend I�m a normal a ningen?" she asked.
"No, the spells will wear off on their own," Jii-chan said. "They normally would have already started to do so, but I had to use more powerful enchantments due to your miko abilities," he told her. "They will probably begin to weaken within a few weeks actually," he said, trying to calm her. "They're specifically made to wear off in time, to give you time to gradually learn how to control your new power. Without proper control, you could do a lot of damage," he explained.
"That's something else; how can I be a miko and a youkai at the same time?" she asked, her voice growing colder the hotter her eyes blazed.
"Every few centuries, there is one born that is a youkai with the ability to purify other youkai," Jii-chan answered. "They have both miko and youkai abilities, but the powers do not clash within the being as they normally would outside of their body. It tends to stop some of the fights that would start over land. When there is one of our own that can do tremendous damage to youkai kind, they try not to tick that one off," he explained quietly.
Kagome stared at Jii-chan in shock at what he had said, but it did make sense. Her attention was drawn back to her mother when she spoke again.
"You will need to rely on your mate greatly when the spells do begin to wear off. He will be able to help you learn to exercise control," Jueru said, looking pointedly at Sesshoumaru where he sat next to Kagome.
"I already have control over my miko powers. How much harder could the other ones be," Kagome said in a voice that sounded a lot like a whine. "And who said Sesshoumaru and I were mated?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
Jii-chan smiled at her and tapped his nose. "We're inu's, honey. We can smell him all over you," he said, a barely visible smirk curving his lips upward. "That, and we noticed his scent on you when you came back the last time from through the well. We didn't know who it was, but we knew you had a mate," he told her. "Besides, I don't think you would have been that upset over just leaving a few friends," he added.
Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru, and remembered how unbearable the pain had been when she had first came back. She absentmindedly nodded in agreement with Jii-chan. She looked back to her family, and felt Sesshoumaru take her hand in his.
"By the way, how is that kitsune you had adopted? Has he faired well over the years?" Jueru asked.
Kagome looked at her shocked, but realized she had probably smelled it on her as well. "He is well. Shippo now lives next door to me," she told them. "Along with Inuyasha, when he's not somewhere else," she added. "Back to more serious matters. What about Kikyo? Am I her reincarnation? And if not, how did she manage to take part of my soul?" Kagome asked, her eyes glittering with determination.
"That's a toughy. You are and you aren't," Jueru said as she thought of a way to explain it. "You are her reincarnation in the sense that you do have her soul, but hers' is not the only one that has been fused together over the years to form your soul." At Kagome's confused look, she continued. "You have a very large soul. Your soul is made up of several souls, both ningen and youkai alike. When the witch tried to bring Kikyo back to life, she actually managed to give Kikyo your whole soul, not just the part of it that was once hers. That's why it was so easy for you to take it back. The little bit that did linger in Kikyo afterwards was just a small chunk of the soul that had oneen een hers," she explained.
Jii-chan picked up where Jueru left off. "Not only do you have the soul that belonged to the last one that was like you, you also have many other souls that have been fused with it. It's part of why you're so strong. After the last youkai miko died, that soul was reincarnated several times, into both ningen bodies and youkai, along with a bit of another soul that would normally belong to which ever body it was in. The soul would then take on the properties of its current body, and during the lifetime of the being, the souls would fuse together, gaining in strength."
"So, how come I'm not a hanyou?" Kagome asked quietly. "I have human and youkai in me, so it would make sense."
"It would, wouldn't it. But for some reason, it doesn't work that way," Jueru said, moving to sit beside her daughter while Jii-chan moved to take her previous seat.
Suddenly, a thought hit Kagome. "Jii-chan, you said your spells and scrolls work, but they never seemed to affect Inuyasha when he came into contact with them," Kagome said, leaving her question unspoken, but still hanging in the air.
"Actually, they worked just fine. They were not meant to banish him, just to make it so he couldn't properly scent us. Though your mother and I use concealment spells, we do not normally conceal our scent, and your erratic visits home made it hard to know when we would need to do so, so I just made some scrolls that would affect his sense of smell for a short time. We didn't have to worry about him scenting you because you have your scent concealed, as well," Jii-chan replied, a good natured smile in place.
"Oh," was all Kagome could say as she pondered that thought. "Are you going to tell Souta?" she asked.
"We might as well, since he's been listening in from the kitchen for most of the conversation," Jueru said, looking at the door to the kitchen, and smirked when she heard a surprised yelp.
Everyone watched as Souta poked his head out of the door, a guilty look crossing his features. "I didn't hear anything, I swear," he protested, sounding very much like a child that had been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
"Oh, I know you heard. Come here and meet your brother-in-law," Jueru told her youngest child.
Souta cautiously came out of the kitchen and into the sitting room. He suddenly stopped when he saw the odd markings on his mother's and Jii-chan's faces, as well as their weird hair colors. "Why do you two look weird?" he asked, and then noticed Sesshoumaru sitting next to Kagome. "And who is that, and why does he look like Inuyasha?" he asked, pointing to Sesshoumaru.
"This is Sesshoumaru, your brother-in-law," Jueru said. "As for Jii-chan's and my appearance, I believe you heard the reason from the kitchen. Now, don don't you sit down, and we can all talk for a while before I have to make dinner," she told Souta. He nodded and sat down on the floor in between where Jueru and Jii-chan sat. "Now, just so you don't think you heard wrong, I'm going to tell you again. You and your sister are a youkai, as well as Jii-chan and myself," she told him, waiting for his excited reaction that she knew would come.
Souta's eyes got real big and his mouth gaped open. "I'm a youkai?" he asked, his voice rising a bit with his excitement.
"Yes, you are," Jueru replied. p>"p>"How come we don't look it? Well, you and Jii-chan use to not look it, but how come Kagome and I don't look like youkai? And how come I can't run fast, or see in the dark, or anything cool like that?" he asked. "And you still haven't told me why Sesshoumaru-san looks like Inuyasha," he said.
Jueru laughed at her son's questions. "Calm down and let me speak, and then maybe I'll be able to," she admonished her son. "There are special spells that protect you, so that no one can tell you are a youkai. People aren't very friendly towards youkai these days, so we have to be careful," Jueru explained. "If you want to know about Sesshoumaru-san, you'll have to ask him and your sister."
Souta looked expectantly towards his older sister. "Well," he prompted.
Kagome sighed before she began to explain; preparing hersfor for the barrage of questions she knew would follow. "Sesshoumaru is Inuyasha's older bro brother," she told him.
"Oh," he said. "So, what happened to Inuyasha?" he asked.
"He's around," Sesshoumaru said, his voice cold and uncaring.
"Oh." He turned back to his sister. "I thought you liked Inuyasha?" he asked.
Kagome shook her head. "I use to, but things changed," she told him.
Before he could say anything else, Kagome's hand was covering his mouth and she was shaking her head again. "I'm tired. You can ask more questions at dinner and tomorrow," she said, standing up and beginning to walk to where she had dropped her bag. "I need a nap. Is my room ready?" she asked her mother as she took a few steps towards the stairs.
"Yes, with clean sheets and everything," her mother replied.
"Thank you, Momma," me cme called from the stairwell as she made her way up to her old room.
Sesshoumaru stayed downstairs, talking with Kagome's family. Souta had a bunch of questions that Sesshomaru replied to with as few words as possible, some even being answered with a grunt or a growl. After a bit, Jueru had to go begin cooking dinner, and Souta went to his room to do some homework, leaving only after Jueru had told him to go do it, e woe wouldn't have to worry about it later. That left only Sesshoumaru and Jii-chan in the sitting room to talk on a more man-to-man level.
"So where are you on the youkai chain of command?" Jii-chan asked with a bit of a grin.
Sesshoumaru fought the urge to smirk at the other youkai. "I am the Lord of the Western Lands," he replied.
Jii-chan's jaw nearly hit the floor. "Wow. My granddaughter definitely knows how to pick them," he said with a smile and a chuckle.
"And your family?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"We're not nearly as powerful a family as your own, but we're not weak, by far," he told him. "We are considered a lower class ruling family, though he have gained more power in more recent years." Jii-chan nodded sagely. "But that is only my side of the family. Kagome's father was quite powerful in his own right. I believe his father and your own were quite close," he said.
Sesshoumaru nodded as he took in the information. That his father might have known Kagome's grandfather was quite shocking to say the least, but he did not allow his amazement to show. "I see, quite interesting," was all he said as he was distracted by a sound coming from the upstairs. He focused in on the sound and could hear Kagome shifting restlessly in her room. "I wish to go check on my mate," Sesshoumaru said as he stood.
Jii-chan stood, as well. "Up the stairs and to the right. The door at the end of the hall," Jii-chan spoke the unneeded directions without a second thought until after he had finished.
Sesshoumaru nodded his thanks and followed the directions he had been given, though he didn't need them to find his mate; he could have just sniffed her out. He entered the room and saw Kagome tossing and turning on her bed. He walked over to her bedside, running a hand through her hair as he sat on the edge of the bed, placing his other hand next to his hip on the bed. He was awed when the instant his hand came into contact with her, she calmed down and moved closer to him.
"Mmmm, Sesshou..maru," she moaned, half asleep, half awake. She curled her fingers around his hand that was resting on her bed and curled more around him.
Sesshoumaru tried to pull his hand free, but she just hung on more tightly and whimpered. Sighing, he lied down on the bed next to her and wrapped his free arm around her waist, pulling her against his body. He felt her snuggle against his chest, her hand still gripping his wrist between them. He nuzzled his face into her hair, taking comfort from her now calmed state. Sesshoumaru allowed Kagome to rest until he could smell the scent of a mostly finished dinner wafting up through the floorboards.
"Kagome, dinner will be done in a few minutes," Sesshoumaru said, gently nudging her with his hand that rested on her side. He watched as she squirmed away from his hand, a small giggle escaping her.
"Don't. That tickles," Kagome said sleepily. She realized she almost had a death grip on his wrist and loosened her hold, smiling up at him sheepishly. "Do we have to get up?" she asked, relaxing against him again.
Sesshoumaru smiled at her, his hand moving to rest on her side once again. "Yes, we have to get up," he told her just before he lightly tickled her side, making her squirm, but he held her in place.
"No, ... don't do ... that ... please ... no," Kagome managed to say between laughs and gasps for breath. She grabbed his hand and held it down against her side so that his fingers could no longer tease her sensitive skin. After she caught her breath, she glared playfully at him and then surprised him by rolling them over so that she was on top, her legs straddling his waist.
"You're a bad puppy," she said, a sly smile forming on her lips. Kagome leaned down over him, very intent on his lips. She lightly kissed his lips before pulling away. "We need to talk. Not now, but sometime before we leave," she told him as she leaned down to kiss him again.
Before they could get very far, they were interrupted by a knock coming from her door and the sound of someone clearing their throat from the other side.
Kagome immediately sat back up and rolled off of him, while Sesshoumaru stood up from her bed. "Come in," Kagome said, looking over at her door, waiting to see who was there.
Jueru poked her head in the door, a light pink tingling her cheeks at what she knew she had just interrupted. "Dinner is ready," she told them.
Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome, a trhanthant smirk in place that said 'told you so'.
Kagome glared at him and then stuck her tongue out him. She stood up from her bed and headed towards the door.
Sesshoumaru stopped her before she reached the door and wrapped his arms around her waist. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You better be prepared to put that tongue to good use later." Releasing her, he continued out the door and downstairs.
Kagome caught up with him quickly and linked her arm with his.
They went downstairs and entered the dining room to find Souta and Jii-chan already sitting there. They sat down to eat and chatted a bit while they ate. After dinner, Souta was sent up to his room to finish his homework while the adults moved to the sitting room to talk again.
"What do you two plan to do?" Jueru asked them once they were seated and were all served some tea.
"Kagome is my mate. I will take care of her," Sesshoumaru said, completely serious in his commitment to his mate.
"We know that. If you weren't going to care for her, you wouldn't be here," Jii-chan said. "But what about Kagome's training that she will need?" he asked them.
Sesshoumaru leveled his gaze at them. "It will be taken care of," he told them. "You have no need to worry about that."
Jueru nodded, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. "What about children? Do you plan on having any?" she asked. "I would like to be a grandmother, you know," she told them with a smile.
"Momma, I'm too young to worry about that yet, even for a human. I'm sure we will have children eventually. Sesshoumaru does need an heir," Kagome said, looking at her mate occasionally.
"That's good, but you should plan for it. Children can cost a lot to raise," Jueru told them.
"You need not be concerned with that, either," Sesshoumaru told them.
Kagome could tell that if she allowed this to continue, there would be a fight. "I'm getting tired. Would you like to come tuck me in, Sesshoumaru?" she asked him as she stood, pleading with her eyes.
Sesshoumaru nodded and stood up beside her. He gently took her hand in his as she led him out of the room.
Jueru opened her mouth to say something, but shut it again; remembering they were already mated and she shouldn't interfere with their lives. At least, not any more than she had already. "Try to be quiet for Souta's sake?" she asked before they left the room.
"Yes momma," Kagome said. She led her mate up the stairs and to her room, locking the door behind them. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at her, but she just shrugged. "I just don't want to be bothered," Kagome said as she turned her back to him to get changed into her pajamas that she had brought with her. Once she had her shirt off, she felt Sesshoumaru's arms wrap around her waist.
"Why not just leave it off for tonight?" he asked her. He rested his chin on her shoulder, his face right beside hers.
"Because I leave it off every night," Kagome said, turning her head a bit so she was closer to him.
"Exactly," he whispered to her, making sure his breath flowed over her cheek. "Why ce?"e?" he asked, his breath feather light.
"Because it gets cold in here, even in the summer," Kagome said.
"I'll keep you warm," Sesshoumaru offered, spng hng his fingers across her bare stomach. "I will always keep you warm," he promised.
Kagome nodded her head and allowed him to remove her pants and panties. She felt his feather light touches everywhere on her body. "It's no fair if I'm the only one undressed," she said, her hand brushing over his pants that were still separating them.
Sesshoumaru placed a kiss on her cheek and stepped back enough to remove his clothing. He stepped back up behind her and picked her off of the floor enough to move them over to the bed. He laid Kagome down on her back and then crawled over her. He slowly made love to every inch of her body all night.
