Mate Hunt by MidNigh

Misunderstanding

                                                                           ~: Pride :~

Kagome watched Sesshomaru walk down the hall to his room with a frown. Kagome and Shippo had be living in the western lands for two months and Sesshomaru had yet to take complete the mating. Kagome was beginning to worry.

"Ah Kagome you have not retired for the night I see. Care to join me for a drink?" Ai asked seeing Kagome standing in the hall alone. Kagome shrugged and followed Ai into the east wing where her rooms were.

"Please make yourself comfortable." Ai said and motioned Kagome into the room. "You seem to have a lot on your mind of late. Is there anything you need to take about?" Ai asked as she handed Kagome a glass filled with brown liquid. Kagome sat silently so several moments before confiding her fears about Sesshomaru in the other woman. Ai sat her drink down with a laugh and took Kagome's hands.

"My dear you have it all wrong! Sesshomaru had not changed his mind, he is waiting for YOU to make the first move. Inu Youkai are not like our animal counterparts, the female initiates the mating process not the males. you have to show his that he is welcomed in your bed. Once the male states his desire to mate a certain female the female must acknowledge the males request publicly." Ai informed her. Kagome frowned.

"But I thought female Inu Youkai were submissive to the male?" Kagome said. Ai shook her head.

"That is true but only after the mating, when the female has given herself over to the make to care for and protect. I was beginning to think that you had changed your mind about mating my son. This problem is very easily fixed. This is what you do...."

Sesshomaru sat at the head of the tables as the banquet held in Kagomes honor progressed, there was only one problem. The lady in question was not present. Sesshomaru growled as another of his noble slide him a questioning glance. The woman had been with him keep form nearly two months and had yet to respond to his declaration. He was not pleased, but he would not lower himself by asking her again. Roman, one of the European nobles who had pledged fealty to Sesshomaru after the demise of his previous master, approached the head of the table.

"Forgive me My Lord, but where is your Lady? Will she not be joining us?" He asked ignoring Sesshomaru's growl of displeasure. Sesshomaru was about to rip the mans head from his shoulders, when the doors to the great hall was pushed open and Kagome walked in.

"Sorry I'm late My Lord." Kagome called as she glided up the isle. Sesshomaru's mouth opened slightly as he watched Kagome. She was waring a form fitting royal blue and silver kimono, his colors. Her lush black hair was pulled back from her face, thick ringlets sliding along her throat, drawing attention to the creamy skin of her neck. A silver glint drew his gaze to the tiny chain of bells that rode low on her hips, and jingled with every step she took.

"My Lord?" Kagome asked as she reached his side, a small smile turning the corners of her mouth, Sesshomaru stood and pulled the chair to his right out, the place given to a guest of honor, but Kagome stepped around him and stood beside the chair to his left. The seat reserved for his mate. Sesshomaru's beast roar in approval as she lowered herself into the chair, her enticing scent filling his nose as she did.

Sesshomaru shaft hardened when Kagome slide her hand up his thigh, and leaned over the arm of his chair.

"The food is wonderful My Lord." She whisper, her breast brushing his arm as she settled back into her chair.

                                                      ~: Several Hours Later :~

"Sleep well My Lord, My Lady" A guard called as they walked down the hall that led to their rooms. Kagome looked into Sesshomaru's eye's as they stopped in front of her room, her heart pounding. She pushed the door open and walked inside.

"Coming My Lord?" She called over her shoulder.
