havnt posted in awhile on this story so here you go!! enjoy

Kagome was happily chatting with Izaiyo when Sesshomaru had finally come downstairs. He wore his hair in a high ponytail like his father, low slung jeans and a tank top. He fixed himself a plate sitting straight across from Kagome. His eyes gazed forward straight at Kagome.

Kagome didn't want to look at Sesshomaru. She knew he was looking straight at her while he ate. Izaiyo must've noticed her nervousness; she turned to Sesshomaru and back to Kagome and then back to Sesshomaru. Kagome laughed nervously and excused herself.

"Excuse me, Izaiyo but I have some things left to do" Kagome moved to get out of her seat.

"Kagome" She heard her name before she could hurry out of the kitchen. She turned around to face him and legs melted at the heated look he gave her.

Izaiyo coughed. "Excuse me" and she left to go in search of her husband and son.

Kagome nervously moved her hands under the scrutinizing look of her lover. Maybe teasing him wasn't such a good idea now. Sesshomaru rose from his chair, his fork slipped from his hands and landing on the plate with a loud clink noise. She held her ground as he came closer, his face emotionless.

"Why did you tease me like that" He said stroking her black tresses.

Kagome smiled. "I had to lighten up the mood" She kissed Sesshomaru lightly on the cheek and turned around trying to hurry away.

Sesshomaru chuckled. "You're not going to get away that easily" he said looping an arm around her waist lifting her up on the counter.

When he began to softly kiss her neck Kagome pushed him away. "Sesshomaru we can't do this here!" Kagome whispered in his ear. "This is your parent's house."

Sesshomaru stared into her beautiful blue eyes as he grinned wickedly at her, slowly rubbing her legs then up to her thighs. "You didn't have a problem with it upstairs"

Kagome narrowed her eyes at his playful smirk.

His hands inched closer and his lips brushed against hers very much escalating her unfulfilled desires. Suddenly a longing started in her stomach and she realized she hadn't fed for the past two days. Her eyes dropped from his sensuous lips to his creamy neck. She licked her lips.

Sesshomaru saw where her gaze was directed. And then he knew he had her where he wanted. He placed a sensual and long kiss on her lips as he grabbed her from behind and walked back through the hall upstairs. Once in front of his room he moved the slightly opened door with his foot then kicked it close as he stalked towards the bed. He sat down with Kagome in his lap.

With much effort Sesshomaru broke away from Kagome who sighed and leaned back into him, wanting another kiss. He leaned only to let his lips barely touch the plump skin then he moved away. A growl erupted from Kagome as she gripped his shoulder.

"Who's teasing now?" Her voice was low and sultry.

Being in the closed place Sesshomaru could better smell how hungry she was. Did she know she had a limit to which she could starve herself? He remembered when she had first fed from him. It was the best thing he had ever felt in the world and the mere act brought them closer together. He wanted to feel her teeth sink into his skin, drawing his powerful blood within her body.

"You've been hungry for quite some time Kagome, why haven't you come to me" He said leaning down to finally kiss her.

"Mmmm…I told you I can only drink from Bankotsu as he is my mate" She slumped against his chest.

Sesshomaru growled and his grip grew tighter on her hips. "You do not belong to Bankotsu; he is not your mate anymore"

"Yes I know but— she was cut off.

"And you have drunken from me before now is not any difference"

Kagome winced at how tight he was on her hip and she forced them loose and placed them between her hands. "Yes I know that but that shouldn't have happened in the first place"

"So you did not want to feed from me" Sesshomaru eyes went dark.

Kagome smacked him lightly on the shoulder. "That's not what I'm saying, before a female vampire is mated she can drink from anyone she wishes but afterwards her male is the only one to provide for the dark hunger"

Well that was unnecessary. Sesshomaru thought. But then again he did not know how vampires do with their time. He only killed them. "What happens if the male does not wish to be fed from or he dies."

Kagome squirmed off of Sesshomaru, who growled. So she sat halfway on him and on the bed. "The female dies either way unless the dying male grants her permission to live freely"

At a thought Kagome knew no matter how much Bankotsu claimed he loved her. He would drag her along with him to death no matter how much she begged for her life. She shuddered quickly eliminating him from her thoughts. Just as it left Renkotsu's image popped up and she was worried about him. He hadn't called in from last night and didn't pick up his cell phone.

Sesshomaru read the concern on her face. "What's the matter" cupping her chin. He completely forgot about her hunger.

"Renkotsu didn't pick up my call from last night, I think something may be wrong" Kagome said.

Judging by how insane Bankotsu seemed to Sesshomaru, if Renkotsu had disappeared last night, he knew it would be Bankotsu's doing, but he didn't voice his thoughts not wanting Kagome to be sick with worry.

"Renkotsu knows what he is doing; in the meantime I will search for Bankotsu as well but in my own terms." He rubbed her lightly on the legs.

Kagome stiffened.

Sesshomaru noticed Kagome's eyes went wide "He will need to be found, I will not take it upon myself to let the law do as they please with him"

Kagome swung her legs off him and looked at Sesshomaru as if he was the one insane. He couldn't be thinking about going after him could he? Uneasy panic and fear rushed to Kagome's head. Sesshomaru was going to get himself killed.

"You can't be serious Sesshomaru" She said standing.

"I never joke about such things" something flickered in his eyes and they looked darker in color.

"Do you know how crazy Bankotsu is right about now, it's going to be too dangerous fighting him!" she placed her hands at her hips getting angry at his attitude.

Sesshomaru knew what he was getting into but he was not in the least bit afraid of a cowardly vampire. He suffered for so many centuries when his own mate was right under his nose with another damn man.

"I am pleased that you fear for my safety but I will exact my revenge upon him that is something I will not waver from" Kagome sighed.

"Not even if I begged you" She said. Sesshomaru did not say a word.

She would knock him over the head with a hammer if she had one. Bankotsu was not a light fighter rather a craftier and dirty one. During times of fighting Bankotsu was nothing like his father Naraku, he was worse and that was what feared her most.

Kagome cupped Sesshomaru's face and looked into his eyes "just let the police deal with him, his sentence will not be minor among our laws, I don't want bloodshed to be fought over me enough has been done. I just want to spend my time creating new memories with you"

New memories? That was something he could definitely do. But was she at least a bit curious as to know what kind of life she had with him in the past, the things she craved and the things they loved to do together. He looked up and kagome silently pleaded with him. She was begging him and he slid her into his arms. She should not be the one begging, he had failed to protect her in the past and the fault was entirely on him.

"I will do as you ask but I will sooner or later find Bankotsu and kill him" He nuzzled her neck and soaked in her lovely scent.

That was not the answer she wanted but…it would have to do until now although she would have to come up with something in the future. She had meant what she said that night. She wanted to give him a chance with her and it was not going down the drain because of some 500 year old revenge he had boiling under his skin.

Kagome hugged him tight and sighed in content. "There is something we need to talk about"

"What" she said.

"We need to remove his mark"

Kagome eased down to his face to see that he was really serious about what he had just said. She didn't even know you could remove another's mark, but it could be done. She rubbed the rough spot on her neck and stilled herself. In truth she never remembered Bankotsu even putting it on her.

Sesshomaru thought she was having doubts about removing it and he glared at her coldly. "It is a mark of possession; I do not want his mark on you when we bed Kagome"

Kagome snapped at his cold demeanor. "Stop with the snide remarks okay, what is it with you wolves about marking!

Sesshomaru smirked at her outburst "Werewolves are the masters of possession, seeing this mark makes me want to go and kill every male within my sight and yet the need to mate you all over again is strong."

Kagome blushed. He was struggling to control himself, she found the act cute in some way but she knew that werewolves also had a great amount of impatience…so how long would he wait for her?

"So how do we remove the mark" trying not to sound interested...

"First—

Without knocking Inuyasha burst into the room. He stiffened from the deadly look on Sesshomaru's face. He was about to walk out when Kagome called him back after sliding off the growling werewolf.

"What is it Inuyasha?" She said fixing her clothes in place.

Inuyasha ignored his growling brother and said. "Pops thought that you might have something to eat before you leave today, so Moms is cooking a big dinner tonight."

"We'll be down in a minute then" She closed the door behind Inuyasha.

"Where are we going today" She asked curiously.

"To my home which… is about an hours travel from here. I think you will like it very much when we arrive" He stood.

"Is it big as this place?"

Sesshomaru smiled. "Bigger"

"Well you can tell me about removing my mark when we arrive at your place, then we can work on building those new memories" She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"If you insist" Sesshomaru was pulled up and dragged (only because he let her) down stairs and into the living room. Kagome went and helped Izaiyo with the cooking while Sesshomaru was at the torture of looking at his immature father and Inuyasha play some video console on the television.

About an hour later Kagome and Izaiyo served the food and everyone happily ate and talked to one another, not once bringing up the subject about Bankotsu. The tension was there Kagome could sense it but she thought that Sesshomaru's family was being nice enough to let her enjoy her time before the real trouble came. And for that she was glad.

Last night she had trouble falling asleep. She almost bit her nails off thinking that Bankotsu was going burst into the room and whisk her away or maybe kill her. For 500 years she loved Bankotsu. He was the only man that she ever loved, so he still held apart of her even if he did steal her away from Sesshomaru. But she knew she could never tell that to Sesshomaru.

She was more than willing to give him a chance. Although she hadn't spent much time with him, she was connected to him in more ways than Bankotsu. Her true mate had suffered and kami only knows what he did to those he had punished.

"Kagome" Sesshomaru called out.

"Huh" she hadn't been paying attention.

He closed the room door behind him and took off his shirt; muscles flexed which Kagome knew he was showing off.

"You're still hungry" Sesshomaru took her hand and sat on the edge of the chair in his room. He placed her on his knee and his claws sharpened.

"Just only a little bit to tide me over okay? If I drink too much you may pass out" Sesshomaru looked as if he didn't care but his heart began to beat hard in excitement. Did he like when I feed from him. She thought. She straddled him as he placed his hands behind her.

"You ready? It may hurt—"

"Just drink Kagome" Sesshomaru sat up straight and turned his neck. His thick vein pulsed under her scrutinizing view. She licked her lips first then leaned down to lick the hot skin. Sesshomaru hissed and pushed her head down further, she slowly licked it again tasting the ecstasy that was about to come. Her fangs elongated and Kagome bit down, the blood rushing like a gusher down her throat. Sesshomaru grunted and held her closer his hands weaving in her hair.

She didn't know why he tasted so delicious but she would definitely feed from this man again. Her hands dug into his shoulders as she bit down a bit harder to get more blood. She was hungrier than she realized. Then something flashed in her mind, images she couldn't see that flashed so quick it was nothing more than a blur. She let go of Sesshomaru's shoulder and looked at him.

"Is something wrong" he sounded a bit tired.

"No not really, did I take too much?" I could drink him dry.

Sesshomaru kissed her passionately on the lips; he tasted the metallic tang of his blood.

"No, Whatever you need, I provide, you sure there is nothing wrong I sensed your panic" He looked in the eyes.

"I thought I was crossing the line, I do want to see your home today, you would do me no good if you were to pass out on me" She said laughing a bit.

Sesshomaru could tell she was holding something back but he would ask her about that later. It was almost evening and he wanted to get a move on to his mansion. He knew that Kagome would love it if she was anything like she was in the past. He knew like clockwork what would make her enjoy her home there.

Kagome was excited to go to his home which Inuyasha claimed to be humongous! she hugged Izaiyo and Inu before landing a big hug on Inuyasha. Sesshomaru growled at Inuyasha from behind her and Kagome smiled. They said their goodbye and Kagome sat very comfortably in Sesshomaru's car as they drove away to their home.
