Fanfic 17 Where have you been?
S/K modern tokyo, 5 years after the jewels destruction, and Kags comes home,...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome sat at her vanity, taking one last look before her dinner with Hojo, gods how she hated this seemingly bi-annual events. It’d been years since they were considered a couple by their 3 similar friends, years since the Feudal Era, where she met a boy who was a dog, a man who was a lecture, a woman who was a exterminator, a little one…a fox who was a son, and most importantly the man she fell in love with. She’d come back afterwards, not by choice, god no, not by choice, the jewel had finished and found its way back into her chest, the seventeen year old had been completely at a loss then, now she was far more collected, she had to be. Rather then a four year college she went straight for a two year business degree, figuring it be easiest to do something that allowed her to stay at the shrine. She’d opened two businesses, one a yoga class in the morning, and a martial arts class in the evenings, all and all it was an easy life, and they were both things that helped her stay close to her family, remind her that she was in fact, savor of the world, shikon miko, not to mention it helped her stay in shape.

Adjusting the diamond wedding ring on her left hand ring finger, Kagome remembered the day her mother gave it to her, she’d come home from the supermarket feeling so out of place, she couldn’t just slap someone for looking at her, or making comments but still it unnerved her to no end that males fell over her body. Her mother had been sympathetic, and placed the band her father had given her mother some twenty years ago on her small finger with a smile. Saying that it was time she took it off, and that Kagome could make better use for it. The ring had been on her finger ever since, it had come in handy on more then one occasion, specially when it came to her meetings with Hojo. He insisted that they meet every once in a while to catch up, though she knew better, every few months they’d go out, he’d hit on her she’d turn him down and remind him that she was a married woman, flashing the ring her mother had given her years before.

Sighing Kagome looked at her watch before heading downstairs and kissed her family goodbye before slipping low heels on for the evening. They never met to far away, for emergencies, as well as the fact that she could always just fake a sickness and go home, how she hated meeting him like this, but she felt so obligated to him, even after paying him back for his help, she felt she owed him at least this. The ever gallant Hojo had been the one to assist with funding the bare simplistic of material for her businesses at first, but within the month he had spread the word and had her scheduled booked with lessons of both forms. He had actually gotten the word out and many people had come to the classes, even now she had too many students. Sighing as she made her way to bistro down the street. The place was quiet, and run by a friend of her mother’s so it made meeting here just that much easier.

Elsewhere…

The sun was setting as his airplane touched down in Tokyo for the first time in a little over twenty years, he’d missed his homeland and had come back for a while before again having to leave the land of his birth. Closing his laptop and standing once the plane came to a stop, a black Maybach sat waiting for him. His nearly seven foot frame ducked out of the plane and into the car, his cold tired voice instructing the driver to take the ‘scenic route’ home, the demon behind the wheal already knowing the route from heart, it had been the same route they traveled every time to arrived in Tokyo, a route that always brought them passed the tree his brother had once been pinned to.

Nights curtain had fallen over the electric city though thunderous clouds danced on the horizon as his car made its way passed the old shrine, the driver slowing like always to give the lord of the West a moment to look at something that had survived from the past. Golden eyes looked out the window to see a woman that looked far too familiar to be a fluke narrowed in suspicion; having the driver stop the tall demon made his way out of the car and up the shrine steps. A small woman with curl brown hair had been sweeping, the scent on the air too familiar to be wrong.

He cleared his baritone voice to try not to startle the female as she had her back to him. Sayuri Higurashi turned to look upon Sesshomaru, surprise didn’t show on her face, nor did her heart beat quicken when she saw the crests upon his face or the crescent moon on his brow, the signs that told her this man was her grandson’s father, a faint smile played on her lips as she wanted for the inevitable. “The shrine’s closed for the evening sir, we open at noon until five pm if you’d like to see the grounds, or pay respects.” she said politely.

Her words were heard  but the demon lord was most interested in her lack of reaction to him, though his concealment spell was in place, his awesome height and coloring often made people gasp, so used to it, he was rather shocked to not receive it. “My apologies, but I was looking for someone, a girl, maybe seventeen years old, her name is Kagome.” he said waiting for some type of response, again getting little.

“You must be one of Kagome’s old school friends, she’s out to dinner with a friend tonight, could I tell her who called?” asked the elder Higurashi woman knowing perfectly well whom this male was, she didn’t know if she should be happy, or upset, where had he been for so long, it had been six years since she came back, and yet the father of her child had never showed, her daughters mate was lost to time she thought, and now here he stood before her. His aura though hidden was easy to feel, living with her grandson, and her children made aura’s far to easy to feel, hell she often wondered how one couldn’t feel aura’s like theirs.

“I see.” he offered the mother, of his mate. He didn’t know if he should be happy that he’d found her or pissed that she wasn’t here waiting for him, hell he didn’t know what to think. The last time he’d seen his mate had been the day of the final battle with the vile hanyou, they’d made love the night before, he remembered every moment as though it had just happened the night before. He had been her first, and swore he would be her last, and when it was all done, when they had finally won the good fight, she had touched a complete jewel and vanished in a wash of bright pinkish white light. Yes he had gone on a rampage, and lost himself to his beast for far longer then he, Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands she have ever.

His beast who’d been imprisoned for so long, silent, and deadly suddenly stirred. As it always had when he came to this shrine, but this time was different, this time, he would have his mate, if one could look within him they would see a great white hound, whose blood red eyes were slowly opening, as if awakening from some dark slumber. Sesshomaru’s nose sniffed and caught the slight hint of her lovely scent, in all this time, over five hundred years for him it was still mostly the same, smelling of orange blossoms in the rain, moonflowers one a full moon, and tea, and yet underlying that scent was his own masculine scent, his beast was pleased, how ever long it had been for her, she still smelled of him.

The tall figured bowed his head to her with a devilish smirk plastered on his face, Sayuri didn’t know if this was bad or good. She knew her daughter still loved this man, this demon lord, and yet if it had been returned where was he, why wasn’t he here for all of Kagome’s hard times, or even for the birth of his heir and son. She watched with feigned interest as he leap down the stairs, three and four at a time, while she turned sharply to go inside and call her daughter, and give her just a moments noticed. If the elder brother where anything like the young, Inuyasha, she thought sadly, then he’d be at the restaurant in minutes, Sayuri had no time to waste.

Elsewhere…

Kagome and Hojo had been at dinner for maybe an hour, their food had come, and they ate while chatting, though mostly Hojo just spoke, while she “oh really?”, “Do tell…” she loathed meeting with him. Kagome couldn’t help but wonder if he were some part wolf demon, though she could since no demonic aura coming from him, she could swear Hojo could give Kouga a run for his money. She smiled at the thought of her old friend, and wondered again not for the first time if any of her demon friends had lived to this day. Hojo of coarse thought she was just being entertained by his story, truly the guy was thick headed, she thought. 

Kagome had finally started paying attention to the conversation, if you could call it that, when she felt her phone vibrate, “Oh, Hojo, I’m sorry.” she said while looking down for her purse, which had fallen on the floor under her chair spilling its contents. “My phones going off, It could be important. Do you mind if I take this?” she asked while pushing the spilled contents back into the purse.

“Oh sure Kagome.” he said with a waved hand an a smile. He loved her, Hojo had never wanted another girl in all his life, from the moment he’d met her even now, he wanted her, loved her, and would gladly make her his if she would only allow him. He wouldn’t lie if asked, he hated this man that had her heart, this man that had never been met. This mystery person who had swept into his Kagome’s life and ruined it, in his opinion, leaving her married and pregnant, and never coming back. Sure she had told him that her husband was in the military, and that he wasn’t allowed to tell her where he went, or what was going on… ‘for her safety‘, a lie, Hojo’s heart and mind screamed, thinking over what kind of man could leave his young pregnant wife for any reason, especially if it were Kagome.

His angry mental tirade had come to and end as he noticed Kagome’s frown. “Everything okay?” he asked cheerily, reminding Kagome much of a monk she once knew. Kagome sighed.

“My mother called from my house, she knows I’m out, so it must be something important, she never bothers unless its important, but right when I was going to answer it, it stopped ringing,  do you mind if I call back just to check and make sure everything’s okay?” she asked, again Hojo smiled and said, ‘Sure.’ Kagome gave him a nervous smile, as he thought about the woman who sat across from him, she was everything a man could want, even now he could see her married to him, pregnant with his child while their older children played in their back yard, she was so motherly, and loving, in his musings he didn’t even noticed Kagome start dialing.

Elsewhere….

Sesshomaru could smell her scent getting stronger, every bit of him and his beast alive with want and need for their mate, their wonderful soft, lovely, long lost mate. Passing a small flower shop he went inside and bought a bouquet of Orange blossoms, her favorite, he mused as he left the spot and made his way to the restaurant, she was off at having dinner with her friend, she would be so surprised. He wondered what she would do, surly she would be happy, and then he could whisk her off and have his way with her until he tired, and they’d get to know each other all over again. He smiled genuinely at the thought of her heated flesh with his own, his arousal growing with ever step.

Kagome had literally just opened her clam phone when her mother’s voice rang through, a tad confused seeing as how she hadn’t dialed yet, she was just placing the ear piece to her head and felt two very important things. First, she felt his aura, while at the same time, she heard briefly from her mother, “Kagome, I just saw Shiro’s father, he’s on his way, Kagome?…Kagome?! KAG--” She didn’t turn around when she felt his aura lick her own in complete desire burning a heat into her body, nor did she notice anything as her cell phone slipped from her hand. Her breath hitched, as she slowly turned her shoulder to look at the front door.

There in a simple black suit, white button down shirt, and black tie with flowers in his hand stood her “Sesshomaru“ she whispered. Her eyes widened, drinking the sight of him, his once long hair was cut far shorter then the last time she had seen him, it wasn’t short or cropped but still long enough to tie in a small pony tail in the back, his bangs it seemed he had allowed to grow out to the same length, his eyes were still the same burning amber orbs they had once been and when they spotted her, she could feel the love, heat, desire and want he had for her. Her mating mark,  which had been dormant since returning was alive, and feeding her his intensions. He casually swaggered over to her, every eye in the room upon him, and now her seeing as how she was the women he came for.

Hojo sat there watching as the phone dropped only to see her turn, hearing two things, one he had always wanted to hear from her, only he had wanted it to be over him, her breath hitched in the most seductive of ways. Next the name, the name of the most hated person he had never met, “Sesshomaru.” she had said breathily, almost in a moan. He watched as an impossibly tall figure came over to their table, he didn’t like him, he looked like a model, and what was with how he walked over here?, Hojo asked himself seething a bit from the situation at hand. He watched as their eyes met and locked, as her breathing became hot and heavy for this man who had caused her so much pain.

Sesshomaru took little notice of the male his mate was having dinner with, but he drank in the site of her, the scent, and the sound of his name rolling off her prefect lips. She wore a simple black dress, it had a scooped neckline, baring the tops of her shoulder and the juncture of her neck which also showed off the pale blue crescent moon set between to faint puncture wounds from long ago, his mark. The dress was form fitting to the nice wide way of her hips, were it flared out a bit so as not to hug her still ever long tanned legs. His smirk grew as she smiled happily at him, before biting her lips as if to not let herself believe the site of him were real. Kagome’s undoing though was when he said her name.

“Kagome.” Was all he got a chance to say as her body sprang from her seat, allowing the phone to hit the table un-noticed, where her purse now sat as well. Her lips met his as her eyes closed, and she happily devoured him, he was ever quick to respond to his demanding mate, it seemed that it didn’t matter how long she had waited she wanted him just as much. His hands slipped around her body, bringing the slow inferno that was his mate closer to his own raging volcano. It didn’t’ matter how long they kissed when they finally came out for air, all of the restaurant was watching them, Kagome blushed prettily, while Sesshomaru brushed off the bit of her gloss from his lips as he took her hand to leave. Kagome didn’t need to know where they were going only that he was here with her, she turned casually to grab her purse, when she saw Hojo. She stopped causing the Taiyoukai to notice the male for the first time since he got there.

“Oh my god, Hojo, I …” she was cut off by Hojo.

“Kagome, is this him?” was all he asked, while standing and placing his fisted hands in his jacket coat. She nodded before introducing them.

“Yes. Sesshomaru, this is an old friend of mine, Hojo. Hojo, this is, “She turned to look up at Sesshomaru face when she said it, “My husband, Sesshomaru.” While a bit taken back by the declaration, Sesshomaru was at least familiar with the term as it relates to mating, and human society, and doesn’t seemed at all bothered by it making Kagome happy. Neither estranged lovers noticing the falter in Hojo’s gaze. Truly he never thought the cad was coming back, but by the look and build of him, he did look like he could be in the military, though obviously Japanese, his uncharacteristically white hair and hazel eye color were unnerving. Though looking at the pair it was easy to see them as a couple as much as he didn’t want to admit it, they were exotic. Kagome’s dark completion, pale eyes, and strikingly onyx hair pulled together her look, while this man was the polar opposite. 

“Nice to meet you.” bit out Hojo, though Sesshomaru could tell the male hated him, his scent reeked of it, a small smirk played on Sesshomaru’s pale lips as he brought Kagome into an embrace, her warm body flush against his. He could smell her arousal and wondered how long he’d have to stand here before he would have his mate again, it had been five hundred years since he’d had the pleasures of a female, his female. “Kagome didn’t know you were back in town, we wouldn’t have been out had she known.” Looking down at his mate he could see she was uncomfortable, but the male kept going. “What with your type of work, and all, she hasn’t known anything about your whereabouts. I’m glad your back so she won’t worry so much.” he said with a fake smile that doesn’t meet his eyes.

“I told Hojo a little bit about your job in the military, about how sometimes you have to leave with no notice or warning. And that sometimes, like now, I have no idea when you’ll be back.” glancing down at his mate, a smirk played on his lips, she was so very cunning and smart.

“You were worried?” Sesshomaru intoned, causing Kagome to blush like she had so many times the night he’d taken her. She lightly fit his chest with her hand before he smelt tears that soon he saw welling in her eyes.

“Of coarse I worried! I thought… I didn’t think I’d ever see you again. Its been so long Sesshou.” she said in a breathy whine while barring her face in his chest. His arms closed around her as he lean down and placed a gentle kiss on the top of her raven head.

“I am sorry, but I’ve retired from that particular endeavor, if you’ll have me, I’ll never leave your side again.” he stated as she looked up and his eyes locked with hers.

“Oh Sesshou.” she said breathlessly as she leaned up and captured his lips with her own passionately. The pair kissed for what seemed like forever as Hojo’s heart broke again, as it had when he found her to be married and with child that was not his own, and now he knew he’d never have her. His eyes were down cast when she looked back to him. “Hojo. Um, I hope you don’t mind, Is it okay if I go?” she asked shyly, though honestly Sesshomaru was just going to take her regardless what the male said he could smell her apprehension about leaving the male, knowing her, she wanted to make sure he was okay.

“Yeah Kagome, its fine, call me some time when you guys are caught up, we can all go out some time. You can even bring the little guy.” he said as Kagome smiled up at him before Sesshomaru began to pull her away, if he had to wait any longer the Taiyouki would surely pick her up throwing the woman over his shoulder and taking her when he got home.
