I have had such a string of reviews asking for a new chapter to Only Time could Tell. So I decided to try another one. So I hope everyone enjoys it J

Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters. But Sesshomaru I own, He's chained in a closet in my bedroom *insert evil laugh* BUT really I don't own Inuyasha or any character from that show. Not even Sesshomaru *cries*

…...

Silence followed Inuyasha's outburst and to Kagome it was some of the most uncomfortable sensations she ever experienced. She sifted from foot to foot glancing back and forth from Sesshomaru's emotionless façade, to Inuyasha's red, angry face and finally settling on Kikyo's face; sapphire eyes locking with brown. A small smile curved her lips before it was replaced with a frown when she glanced at Inuyasha.

Finally the silence seemed to become to much for the already emotionally confused Hanyou.

"What do you mean MATES" he snapped claws flexing.

"Inuyasha" Kikyo whispered laying her hand on his arm but he stiffened and jerked it away before locking his dull golden eyes onto her light brown.

"NO, no Kikyo, Do you think he loves her hmm how could he love her. SHES A HUMAN." he seethed his claws drawing blood from his palm "Kagome deserves someone that would love her"

An audible sigh caught Inuyasha's ears causing them to swivel towards Kagome before his eyes followed. She stood there with her arms crossed over her chest, sapphire eyes where brimming with tears as her slight figure shook. Behind her Sesshomaru was just barely counseling his rage. How dare that Hanyou cause his mate distress.

However, before he could respond to her tears her voice pierced his ears.

"How can you be so selfless Inuyasha, I thought you where my friend" she whispered and Inuyasha's ears plastered to his head as a frown graced his mouth.

"Kagome….."

"NO your going to listen to me and listen well Yasha" she replied her voice abnormally quiet "Why cant I have a happy ending huh. You have Kikyo and Sango and Miroku have found each other but not me. All I have is an overprotective half Inu and an obsessed wolf youkai. Well you know what Sesshomaru may not love me and he never probably will but he is a honorable, loyal man well er demon and I will never regret what happened between us. We are MATES now and if you can't handle it you might need to SIT down and take a chill pill because he is NOT going ANYWHERE"

Dull golden eyes lifted to her angry face from his crater in the ground only to find his hated half brother pulling her into his arms. His hand rubbing soothing circles along her back. Inuyasha stood to his full height before turning and starring at the strange scene before him. He couldn't get over how weird it was to see his human hating older brother tenderly holding his very human best friend to his chest as she cried.

She was right he was being selfless. Why did he think that even after he mated Kikyo, Kagome would always be there. She deserves some form of happiness and if she wants that from Sesshomaru then he wont stop her.

"Kags I'm sorry"

Startled sapphire eyes swung around to his before a brilliant smile lit up her face. She dislodged herself from Sesshomaru's iron grip before throwing her small arms around Inuyasha's neck. Kikyo let off a little giggle as Inuyasha kept his hands out to the side where Sesshomaru could see them as a low warning growl was heard around the clearing. Kagome pulled back smiling at him.

"Oh its fine Yasha you're my best friend and its just how you are"

"Feh what's that s'pose to mean wench"

Kagome glared at him before crossing her arms over her breast and Sesshomaru watched with amusement cloaked in his molten gold eyes as Inuyasha's ears flattened to his head.

"Sit"

CRASH

"Dammit Kagome do you have to do that in front of him" Inuyasha snapped pointing at Sesshomaru.

"Yeah well he's going to be around a lot more now Yasha so deal with it"

With that said, Kagome turned on her heels and started walking back in the direction of her own feudal family. She could feel Sesshomaru a few steps behind her but she didn't turn around. However, she froze when she felt one of his strong hands grasp her wrist gently tugging on it.

Large sapphire eyes lifted over his armor covered chest, hardly any skin was visible under the armor and moko-moko but his arms where bare. Proof that his haori still clothed her. One deadly nail lifted and tilted her face to his.

"What ails you mate?" he asked one silver brow lifting.

Kagome smiled and lifted her free hand to rest on his chest, running her fingers over his armor. Her sapphire eyes landed on his mouth and she frowned slightly. They where mates right, does that mean she's allowed to kiss him right. She heard a small chuckle leave the demon before her, before his free hand was tangled in her hair tilting her head to claim a better angle on her lips. A groan left her throat as she twinned her arms around his shoulder opening her lips to his probing tongue. His other arm snaked around her petite waist to yank her against him.

Just as it began he pulled back and Kagome starred up at him with her sapphire eyes clouded. She just about asked why he stopped when Inuyasha and Kikyo walked into the clearing obusally following them to the camp ground. A blush spread on her face at Kikyo's knowing smile and Inuyasha glanced away his hands clenched. This was going to take a lot of getting used too.

The four turned and continued walking in silence, the only sound being the wind blowing through the trees. As they got closer to their destination a sound slap echoed through the clearing and Inuyasha sighed.

"Damn Monk wont ever learn"

"I believe not my love" Kikyo replied her fingers twined with his.

Sesshomaru glanced down at his silent mate as they walked. Her large sapphire eyes where wide and she was taking very deep calming breaths. What is Sango, Miroku, and Shippo didn't understand. What if they got angry with her. There could have been worst people she mated, hell she could have mated Naraku. A shiver coursed through her at her rather terrifying thought. Eww, who could even think of mating with that psycho. A warm hand settling on her wrist snapped her from her disturbing thoughts as she glanced up at Sesshomaru.

"Prepare yourself Mate" he stated and Kagome took a deep breath before stepping through the trees.

Sango and Miroku's eyes locked on her and they widened at what they saw. Before them stood Kagome dressed in Sesshomaru's haori, the Demon Lord stood behind her. Inuyasha and Kikyo entered just moments later and silence followed. Miroku was the first to speak.

"Hello Sesshomaru-sama what brings you here"

Kagome glanced at him and barely noticed the curved eyebrow that was aimed at the monks direction. A rush of air next to her ankle caused her to jump as she glanced down to see Shippo sniffing at her leg. His large green eyes were wide as he glanced up at her then to the imposing Demon Lord, and back to his surrogate mother. No way, his mother wouldn't mate with someone like that Inu. He was cruel, cold, and mean not to mention dangerous. He opened and closed his mouth for a few before he gathered enough courage to ask.

"Okka-san" He stammered out and jumped when Kagome knelt down by him pulling his smaller body onto her lap. His tiny hands fisted in Sesshomaru's haori and he buried his nose in her neck. Not only did her scent calm him but now it was mixed with Sesshomaru's scent. To the little fox kit it was strange how reassured those two scents mixed made him.

"Okka-san why do you smell like Sesshomaru-sama?"

A deep blushed covered Kagome's face but before she could answer Miroku spoke in his soothingly calm voice.

"Shippo, Kagome-sama smells like Sesshomaru-sama because she is wearing his haori, however," He paused as a lecherous grin spread across his face "it could also mean-"

CRASH

"Quite you lecher" Sango hissed smirking down at the prone figure of the now unconscious holy man. Kagome chuckled before she took a deep breath and replied to her adopted kit.

"Shippo, my darling son, Sesshomaru is going to be your new father, and Rin your sister" Her sapphire eyes lifted and locked with Sango's warm brown ones "Miroku was right in his own lecherous ways. Sesshomaru and I are mates"

In a blink of the eye, Sango had sprung across the fire and wrapped her arms tightly around Kagome. The surprised Miko froze before a giggle left her form and she hugged her ecstatic friend back.

"Oh Kagome congratulations. You deserve someone who will treat you right after everything you've been through-"

"Hey what's that mean wench" Inuyasha snapped from the background.

"I mean I'm so happy for you Kagome wait till Miroku wakes up-"

"Wench I'm talking to ya"

"He's going to be so happy, Sesshomaru-sama, though how did that happen-"

"Wench"

"SIT"

CRASH

"Sango" Kagome addressed her friend after turning glaring sapphire eyes from the Hanyou shaped crater smiled and said "How about we take a bath"

Sango climbed to her feet and went over to Kagome's rather overlarge knapsack digging through it looking for the bathing supplies. Kagome stood up before turning smiling eyes up to Sesshomaru who had remained quite throughout the whole exchange.

"I will be right back but I think I need a bath" she said with a laugh and Inuyasha was shocked to see a small smile cover his older brothers lips.

"I believe so Mate" he replied "Take your time nothing shall harm you or the Slayer-"

"Sango" Kagome through in smiling.

Sesshomaru turned and sat back against the nearest tree trunk, his eyelids closing hiding his molten gold eyes. Kagome stood there starring her mouth hanging slightly open. He looked like a god fallen to earth. A tap on her shoulder drew her from her thoughts and she glanced over at Sango as she held out a towel and a new school uniform.

Together they turned and headed into the woods toward the very same hot spring that Kagome and Sesshomaru had just shared. A deep blush spread over her face at the thought. She could feel Sango's eyes on her and gulped knowing her friend wanted answers. She pulled Sesshomaru's haori off and nearly dived into the hot spring surfacing and pulling her long onyx hair from her face.

"Spill" Sango spoke after silence wafted over them. Kagome gathered her courage before facing her friend.

"Okay let me explain"

Before a word could be spoken a deep growl swept through the clearing followed by Miroku's form running toward the hot spring.

"Kagome-sama call off your mate"

Two giggles followed his appearance as Sesshomaru stood a few feet behind the terrified Monk. Kagome and Sango glanced between the two before the Miko spoke up.

"Sesshomaru can you please take Miroku-kun back to camp and we will deal with it when we get back. No severed limbs please"

The men retreated back toward the camp and Sango turned to her.

"So you where saying"

…...

There's chapter two please tell me what you think. It took me awhile to get it out but I hope its up to everyone's standard. Again flamers are welcome but Sesshomaru might track you down. His youkai whip hates flamers.
