My Mate? by Weregirl96

Prologue

 “I need no one!” the lord of the West snarled. His golden eyes were hard and he bared his teeth at his advisers who had dared to tell him what he needed to know.

“The West needs a lady, Lord Sesshoumaru,” the braver of the seven advisers spoke up.

“Are you telling this Sesshoumaru that he cannot rule his land,” he growled back.

“It is too late for your objections. The Inu clan of the North has already been contacted. They will be here within the month. Once here it is your choice, but you must give the lady a chance,” the head adviser, a panther demon, spoke up before striding out of the room.

Sesshoumaru growled and spun, silver hair flying behind him and he stalked out.

Kagome sat in her garden, taking care of her prided flowers.

“Momma!” a small kitsune called, running into the garden.

“Hi, Shippou! How was your day baby?” she asked pulling the kitsune close despite the dirt.

“It was great! I heard we were going to the West, Momma, is that true?” the fox kit asked. Even standing on her lap he barely came up to her chin.

“Yeah, Mom thinks it would be good for the clan for the Lord of the West and I to mate. I told her I wouldn't go without you though,” Kagome promised, kissing his red hair.

“Okay, Momma! I'm going to get cleaned up and go see Grandma!” he announced.

Kagome giggled at the antics of her pup, “Just make sure she's not busy before you harass her, Shippou.”

“Yes, Momma!” Shippou hollered back.

Kagome was unsure about the future that awaited her. She had no idea how the Inu of the West acted, or if he was going to react badly to Shippou. Kagome sighed and pushed her bangs out of her eyes, showing the pink star on her forehead. Starting next month her life was going to be much different.
