"WHAT!" Sesshomaru raged as his eyes blazed red. He got up and started pacing around.

Jaken was terrified as he had not seen his master this angry ever before. 'His emotions are getting the better of him…it's all because of that stupid human!'

The other lord was petrified but tried his best not to show it.

Suzuki, the eastern lord just shook his head. "I understand your feelings. It is truly uncalled for that the southern lord be to hold war against humans. Because you have chosen a human to be your mate to be, he may be after you too. However, his reasons are what bewilders me most."

"True." Sesshomaru had calmed down now. "But the southern lord is not an enemy. We are allies yet because of a insane misjudgment he had of humans, he now wants to fight me because I have fallen for a human? We all know that his army is the strongest but with both our armies combined, we have the head."

"You know some humans that would fight for us, don't you?" Suzuki asked. "Maybe you could ask them for assistance."

"It would be best not to use humans in this battle." Sesshomaru said. "It would only clarify that we have betrayed him. Besides, we need to do whatever we can to delay this battle because of the ceremony. All the demons of higher status are to be here and we don't need more confusion. Also, the southern lord is not to be sent the invitation."

"Good. But doesn't your mate need to be trained of how to act at a demon ceremony?" Suzuki asked.

"I forgot about that." Sesshomaru said dumbly.

Suzuki's expression changed. "I guess I can tell her, can I not? After all, I want to see the priestess whom has captured your heart."

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

"My name is Suzuki, the eastern lord." Suzuki introduced as he eyed the demonness. "I wanted to meet you."

Kagome instantly did a small bow as she prayed that her strange clothes did not offend the lord in any way. "I'm Kagome." She smiled warmly.

"Nice to meet you." He said awkwardly. "I have also come to inform you of a ceremony that is starting tomorrow. It requires five days to complete. All the demons of higher status are invited and you are to act as Sesshomaru's mate. I suppose maybe you will be his mate by tomorrow." He winked. "The first day is consisted of a fighting tournament. The second is more of a casual day. The third will be for performances. The fourth again of a casual day. And the fifth is the grand ball."

"Okay…" Kagome said as her mind tried to process the new information.

"Good."

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Kagome sighed. The sun had gone down hours ago when she finished her dinner. She had nothing to do so she tried to find Sesshomaru. His palace was a labyrinth of rooms, stairways, chambers, and hallways.

Finally, she found his bed chambers. She slowly walked into his room and there he was, sleeping.

She walked over to the side of his bed. "I love you, you big stupid jerk." She murmured. She had turned to leave when strong arms wrapped around her, pulling her into a hug. She found her back against Sesshomaru's naked chest as she blushed.

"I love you too, you idiot." He said, as she snuggled up to him.

Kagome smiled and looked at Sesshomaru. "Um…I…uh…I want to be your mate." She said finally.

"I want you to be my mate." He answered. "But the demon mating system is very strict. I guess I shall explain it to you before you regret this. Mating requires five steps. The first step is acknowledgement. I have already done that. The second is protection. And yes, I have done that too. The third, is love. I guess I love you. The fourth is the bonding of blood and the fifth is what we will complete tonight."

"If I'm willing." Kagome ended for him.

"If you're willing." He answered. "The mating ceremony requires we do bedchamber activities through sunset, which we have already missed. But it also requires we do it at midnight and dawn. Do you agree? Because once you are mated to me, you are with me for the rest of your life."

A kiss on the lips had cleared for everyone that she had agreed as she moaned.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
