Ok so I know I should be working on Fate's Decree or any of my others however I have not fixed my computer after Irma and everything and it is not connected to the internet so I am attempting to use this drabble/ fluff fic to see how I feel about posting via my phone only. Honestly I have been on a Tougaxkags kick and decided to see if there were any with Sesshomaru's mother, which there were none and I found it mildly upsetting. Anyway I think the old dog can learn a new trick or two, after all her son did . Hope you all enjoy. My formatting is not staying so i apologize in advance for the seeming lack of structure. it is apparently a shortcoming of the app that needs addressed.

Kagome sighed, finally allowing herself to relax as she watched the newly wedded couple taking off to start their lives together. She felt only a small pang in her heart as she watched her first love veritably glowing with happiness even though he tried to hide it with his typical surly attitude. She would never admit that she agreed to marry them solely so she could finally have some closure. Naraku was still out there somewhere, but there was only one shard left to gather. She had yet to inform Sango that she had every intention of allowing Kohaku to keep his shard until he was ready to remove it. Sango and Miroku were busy with their little girls, twins at that, so she would not bother them today. Today she was going to take a day to herself, one of the first she had taken in a long while, not since the well had closed on her eighteenth birthday a few months ago. Shippo was training with the other young fox demons this week, leaving her on her own for two more days. She grabbed her bow and arrows, hefting them to her shoulder and waving towards Kaede so the elderly woman knew she was heading out. She had no intention of going far. from the village.

A pulse of familiar demonic energy drew her attention upwards, Sesshomaru, the Western lord himself, along with his human ward Rin were descending to the clearing just outside of the village. Rin was growing into a fine young woman under the demon Lord's care.

Rin swung down from her two headed dragon mount, Ah-Un waving cheerily at Kagome before launching at her, hugging the older woman tightly before frowning, " Kagome-sama! You haven't changed a bit!" she said with a grin.

It was not exactly untrue. Her girlish form had filled out and her cheeks had lost the childish roundness. However beyond that she had not aged at all in the past couple of years. Sango had grown and filled out and small signs of the demon hunter hitting her early twenties were appearing, while Kagome looked essentially the same as she had when she first fell down the well.

The woman chuckled," I suppose you're right." She agreed, not having given it too much thought before. " So what brings you here? Shippo won't be back for a couple more days at the soonest. " she said.

Her question seemed to cause the younger woman to sigh sadly. " This Rin only wishes it were for pleasantries. We came to seek out your aid. There is a strange sickness in the animals and it has spread to some of the humans in the villages on the boarders of the Western lands." She said making Kagome furrow her brows in concern.

"Tell me about this sickness and I will see what I can do." She said, turning towards the village, bidding the noble pair to follow her.

Rin looked to her lord, who nodded as he followed the strangely pleasant scented human who had earned his respect. He was also relieved her presence seemed to encourage the other humans of the village to take better care with their hygiene, something his delicate sense of smell greatly appreciated. "The humans listed complaints of severe headaches and stomach illness, swimming vision and spasm g jerks of their muscles in the areas they had been wounded by the beasts. If it can go from animals to humans is there a concern of it traveling to demons as well?" the stoic lord questioned, apathetically listing the symptoms given and his concerns, though if one looked carefully his sincere concern for his people peeked from behind the distant mask he used.

"This Rin has also heard rumors those infected changed, becoming far angrier, drooling profusely as they displayed highly irritable behavior." She added, her expression clouding with concern as she took note of Kagome's stricken expression.

There was only a short list of illnesses it could be. She hurried to her humble hut, only pausing to hold the curtained entrance open for them before bolting to her futon and rolling it aside to reveal a hidden cache in the wooden floorboards. She opened it and began flipping through the collection of medical books she kept hidden there. Finding what she suspected she turned the book to the dog demon and pointed at the pictures," Do they show signs like this, or even this?" she asked, showing images of humans whose faces were contorted in angry grimaced of pain, rivulets of frothy drool streaming from the corners of their lips as their eyes held the haunted ravaged look of those driven mad by tortures only the mind of its victims could fathom.

At his confirmation her brows drew together and she muttered a curse he had never heard from the typically upbeat priestess before.

"I have a good idea of what it is, but where I am from, there are not many demons around to know if it a threat to them, but it is transmitted through saliva primarily. Once the host is dead and their mouth dries it should no longer be contagious. If we could find someone with an immunity to diseases we might be able to make a medicine of sorts to help, like something we had back home, however I have never made anything like it before. The bad news is once symptoms start showing, with in a couple weeks at most the one infected dies almost with out fail even in my home where medicine is incredibly advanced. The good news is, if we can manage to make the medicine and it is given to all creatures in the land the disease should drop to practically nothing or maybe even die out completely." She explained, carefully avoiding mentioning she was from the future without actually lying .

Sesshomaru arched his brow at the woman before turning away from her. " You will accompany this one to his mother's home. She is wise in dealing with affairs of both the living and the dead and has the resources to assist you in helping this one's people. You shall also be put in charge of seeking put the source of the problem so it might be eradicated and the sickness culled from my lands before it ruins them." He ordered coldly, distaste filling him at the idea of once again seeking his mother's assistance on behalf of humans. Though this time he wondered at how his ever distant mother would handle being ordered to allow a human in her sacred palace of the moon, never mind the order to work with one to save many of her kind.

Kagome blinked slowly, absorbing everything he said and needing a moment to process it all in a way that made it beyond her modern sensibilities and urge to scream at him for his misogynistic orders, as if he had the right!

"A please would not kill you, you know. " she muttered, tensing when he looked over his shoulder at her. " I mean I have no problem helping you but I have to wait for Shippo to come home. He would be upset for me to not be here when he comes back. Considering Sango and Miroku are busy with kids and Inuyasha just married Kikyo and went off on their honeymoon, he is going to need someone around, he is a fox after all and they need community to thrive." She demanded respectfully.

"Hn. This one shall retrieve the kit. Focus on your tasks and he will be delivered to you. It is best to keep him close to you until this issue is resolved." He conceded in his ever imperial way. Rin giggled at the man she viewed as her father and hero.

Kagome relaxed, relieved the fox who was in many ways her own child, would not be out and at risk to be infected.

"Would it be too much to request you suggest to others to suspend the training all together for a short while? Maybe even pass word to the villages as we pass them. I can make a list of symptoms for them to be wary of." She offered, wanting to save everyone as always.

A gruff,"Hn." Was the only response he gave but she smiled, assuming he would do so for his people if little other reason.

With a brief explanation to Kaede to pass along to the rest of her friends, she hurriedly packed all of her meager belongings and met the demon lord and his pup. She was set astride the two headed dragon with Rin and they were off at speeds that had the priestess's stomach churning uncomfortably.

With Herculean effort she kept down her breakfast through the initial physical shock of such high speed flight. Slowly she began to enjoy herself, growing bold enough to stretch her hands out to the sky.

Rin seemed delighted at Kagome's happiness and the women enjoyed the remaining few hours of their flight to the palace of the moon. Only when she felt the unwelcoming bristle of demonic energy from hundreds of beings did she begin to question the wisdom behind her scenario. Sesshomaru flared his youki in return did it reluctantly abate. However it did not stop fully, for Kagome felt their ill intents drilling at the back of her mind like a swarm of angry bees.

The demons moved out of sight sand she was less to plush chambers that spoke of wealth, taste, and femininity. Behind a paper wall sat a pristinely groomed woman in silhouette.

" Another human? You certainly share you site's interest pup. Now, For what reason have you finally come to visit your mother?" she said, her tone managing to sound bored all the while.

Kanpekinatsuki sighed, as if greatly put out and yet she found herself sniffing again, relieved the paper door hid the pink that momentarily glazed her eyes at the heavenly scent of the unknown human beside her son.

She was curious about his newest human companion, amd opened her fan, rising to come out from behind the screen to face her son who only came to her when he was in need of something.

True to form, he bluntly filled her in on everything, including the priestess's purpose and knowledge which had golden almond shaped eyes evaluating the little human with more interest.

Kagome frowned, wanting to glare at Sesshomaru for his rudeness but accepted this was not a turf she had any expirience with. She bowed briefly in a proper show of respect and the demoness chuckled, seeming amused," I was unaware humans could have any sense of manners unless properly raised by one of our own kind." she mused carelessly. She could see the woman's spirit in her strange blue eyes and wanted to test her temper.

Kagome turned her strange gaze on the woman, a hint of ozone,like lightening in a storm, tinging her light floral scent.

Sesshomaru sighed deciding he had served his part. " This one shall retrieve the kit as promised. Try to focus on the task at hand." he ordered, leaving and taking Rin with him.

"Well pup, as my son has forgotten all training I gave him, Kanpekinatsuki is my name. However if you wish you can call me Tsuki for convience sake."

Kagome blinked in surprise, not having expected any semblance of courtousy, even if it was offered in such a cold tone. Remembering herself she offered a proper introduction.

"So tell me little Kagome, how does a human woman learn to read? Are not even the average males incapable of basic letters and arithmatic?" she questioned in her blunt manner, enjoying the womans rapidly shifting emotions too much to bother worrying about the task they had been assigned by her demanding son just yet.

Kagome frowned at that, before a believable and technically honest answer came to her," I am a priestess, it is required to be knowledgable in many areas. I trained from a young age in all areas of education and medicine. " she explained.

Kanpekinatsuki tilted her head to the side slightly, reflecting her canine heritage. "Is that also why you are a virgin spinster? I frequently hear of holy women taking lovers." she commented, smiking slightly. as the sharp tang of ozone and cinnamin filled her nose, following the mood dampening scent of her sadness.

"Who has harmed your soul little one?" she asked, moving closer to the woman,golden eyes roaming over her, taking in every inch of her.

Kagome jumped, her cheeks flushing as she shook herself," I am fine. First loves rarely ever turn out to be a sure thing after all." she said defensively. She was honestly a little intimidated by the queen. The woman was beautiful, collected, powerful and seemed virtually impossible to ruffle. Realizing how her words sounded she grew flustered," I mean, I did not mean any disrespect. " she hurried to add.

The last thing she expected was a soft huff of laughter from her.

"Pup, you missunderstand things between my little Sesshomaru's father and myself. Our mating was norhing more than a continuation of my clan's noble line and an agreement that spared me being mated to a male who would demand more from me than what I care for. You see... Touga and I have... similar taste in bed partners. I was fond of him as a dear friend but he was not my mate, something I am still uncertain if my pup understands. " she said with a small smirk at the gaping shock on the littlw female's face. She crowded the raven haired woman and sniffed slightly, letting her demonic energy flow over the human, reveling in the small sting of the girl's holy powers heistantly pushing back.

She was seeing more and more appeal to this tiny woman. "You are more than human. I want to know more about you, everything about you actually. I adore solving mysteries you see. Even if I must devour you to do so." her voice warmed with emotion as she gripped the human's chin chuckling again at her wide eyed gaze, her body reacting instinctively to her pheromones while her mind still held the tinge of fear.

Slowly, giving her a chance to protest, she lowered her lips the short distance between them and claimed Kagome's soft pink lips. She tasted as divine as she smelled. This human would be hers. That was all there was to it. Grazing delicate fangs over her perfect bow shaped lips, she took advantage of her shock to bombard her senses further.

Kagome was beyond shocked, her traitorous body responded all on its own, a low, needy whimper escaping her as she leaned into the kiss. The was her first real kiss that was not made in a moment of life or death and it was with a woman!

Tsuki reached a clawed hand to slide through the raven locks of her little priestess, deepening the kiss until the shickt of the paper door sliding open caused the young priestess to jump away guiltily. Rin was there, frozen, staring at both women with wide brown eyes, her purpose forgotten as she processed what she just walwalked in on.

ok well it is getting away from me and i might continue it as a drabble. points to whoever can guess the disease. Before anyone goes off of the deep end there are reasons for this. i will go into more depth if i continue this, but essentially, because females are so rare she had to be mated and continue her line. so touga who was a close friend that had proved himself in battle, earning his way up the demon rankings, agreed to a breeding match with her, though he took it a step further, offering a mating in name that would leave each of them free to subtly pursue their own interest. she is bisexual with a preference for females. i have a few ideas and though it is time consuming i suppose i can manage posting like this. but no promises on frequency. hope you all enjoy.

Kanpekinatsuki perfect moon.
