InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Slave to No One ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

Chapter 8

 

Miroku, Shawn, and Mike were having a hard time keeping up with Inuyasha once they had left the girl. Inuyasha was traveling so fast that he seemed to be flying as he landed for just a brief second on a tree branch before taking off again. He was in a hurry to get home and they knew why.

 

Inuyasha was in deep thought as he traveled back to his home. He wanted to get there quickly and return to the girl. That same little nagging voice was back indicating that danger was coming and he needed to protect Kagome.

 

He had listened to this voice before and even though it had almost cost him his life. He had saved the girl from certain death. Now the voice was saying the he was on the verge of losing his mate and his demon side was getting upset. So much so that it was fueling his body to go faster so he could get done with his task and get back to the girl.

 

Inuyasha arrived at his father's castle in record time. He had left the others behind as he traveled with Shippo back home. He placed the kit on the ground and said, “alright Shippo your home now. I will see you later. I have to go and see my father.”

 

The look on Inuyasha's face told Shippo that it wasn't going to be a cheerful reunion as he saw him climbing the stairs with great speed.

 

Inuyasha made it to his father's office as he stood outside his door. He took a deep breath and entered the room.

 

Inuyasha spotted his father as he was pacing back and forth in his nervous habit. He saw where the rug had been warn down as he finally stopped and looked up to see him.

 

~oOo~

 

Inutaisho stopped when he heard someone enter his office without knocking. He has been in the foulest of moods ever since his son had been taken away from him.

 

He loved his son even though he never showed it but he cared deeply for him like any parent would for their young.

 

He thought that he was imagining things when he had stopped and looked up to see his youngest son standing in the doorway. He blinked his eyes and caught his scent and knew that Miroku had succeeded in finding him.

 

He smiled as he said, “Inuyasha, my son, your finally home.” As he started to walk toward his son in order to greet him.

 

Inutaisho saw the expression on his face and he stopped half way towards him and said, “Inuyasha? What's wrong? Why are you so angry?”

 

Inuyasha took a deep breath and then said in a low and deadly voice, “Why did you send Miroku after me?” as he stared at his father with all the anger he felt for having been pride away from his Kagome.

 

Inutaisho was taken back by his son's tone of voice as he said, “Why do you think I sent them? You were captured by the slavers and taken away. I knew how stubborn you can be and I feared that they might've hurt you so I sent them to find you, which I see they have.”

 

“Then why didn't you say to find me and if I requested to be left alone for them to abide by my wishes and not yours. I was there because I didn't want to leave.” Inuyasha said with a growl as he eyed his father and saw the shocked look on his face.

 

“YOU WHAT!!!!” screamed Inutaisho at what his youngest son had said. `He didn't want to leave! What makes him say this? Is he under some sort of spell that makes him want to stay where he was?'

 

Inuyasha ears just flatten on the top of his head at his father's sudden outburst. He thought it best to explain what he meant.

 

“Father, I was captured by the slaver and I almost died while they were trying to enslave me, but this girl came and got me out of the processing facility. She basically saved my life. She took me home with her, healed my wounds, feed me the best food I have ever eaten, and I had a room that was as comfortable as the one I have here.” Inuyasha stared at his father and continued before he lost his nerve.

 

“I want to go back. I haven't finished my business there. There is danger coming and the girl is unprotected.” He said with determination in his voice.

 

Inutaisho brought himself to his full height and said, “What business is it of yours? Who cares if the girl is unprotected? You're home now and that's all that matters to me,” said his father as he casually waved his hand in the air to dismiss the thought that his son was having.

 

Inuyasha became enraged as he said, “I care that she's unprotected! I don't care what you think, I'm going back to her.” He turned and walked away from his father clearly pissed because his father wouldn't listen to him, again.

 

Inutaisho was enraged at the way his son was acting, clearly they had done something to him that had warped his mind. He lashed out with his hand as a green light came out and effectively tied his son up preventing him from moving.

 

Inuyasha was struggling against the ropes that his father had placed around him. He fell to the floor as he stared up at his father and said, “Why are you doing this?”

 

Inutaisho looked at his son and said, “Clearly they have done something to warp your mind so you would want to stay there with them. You are to remain bounded until I can find someone that can remove the spell you are under.”

 

Inuyasha became enraged as he said, “I'm not under any fucking spell!!! I'm not staying here and you can't make me!”

 

Inuyasha was struggling against the ropes that held him. He couldn't break them with his hanyou powers as he father went to get some guards to lock him in his room. He was losing control of his emotions as he started to get angry. `I have to get back to Kagome! She's in danger and I'm not… about… to lose… my… mate!'

 

The word mate rang through his mind as he gave into his anger and let his demon side come out. His demon side wanted his mate and that's all he needed to be released.

 

Inuyasha eyes were turning red as his fangs and his claws grew longer, two purple stripes appeared on each side of his cheek. He was enraged as he broke the bonds and slowly stood on his feet.

 

Inutaisho had come back with some guards in order to move his son into his room until such time that the spell could be lifted. When he entered his office he saw that his son had broken the ropes that he had placed on him and he was shocked. `No one has ever broken out of my bonds before.'

 

As they entered the room Inutaisho sniffed the air and noticed that his son's scent had changed. It was now the scent of a full youkai, not that of a hanyou.

 

He approached his son with care knowing that something was wrong as Inuyasha backed away from him and growled. His head was down and he saw his son flex his claws at him. He stopped as he eyed his son and said, “Inuyasha?”

 

Inuyasha was now a full demon and as such his desires were to get back to the girl. When his father had entered the room and started to get near him he backed away and growled.

 

Even in his demonic form he understood that he was the alpha male and he wouldn't attack him but he needed to leave. He growled and said, “I'm leaving! Now move out of my way or I'll make you move.”

 

Inuyasha slowly looked up and that's when Inutaisho saw that his eyes were blood red.

 

He was in shock, he had locked away his son's demon blood a long time ago to prevent him from turning full youkai and now that spell has been broken. He needed to get him back to normal before he lost his son for good.

 

“Beta male! You are to stay here where we can help you!” said Inutaisho as he eyed his son retreating form. He was moving towards the window of his office, it was his only means of escape.

 

Inuyasha growled again and said, “No! I must find my mate!” Inuyasha then turned and ran towards the window as he leaped out and landed on the ground. He raced into the forest in search of his mate.

 

Inutaisho couldn't believe what just happened. His son had turned into his demon form and he was saying something about his mate. `What in the hell is going on?'

 

At that moment Miroku, Shawn, and Mike came running into his office as Lord Inutaisho turned towards them and said, “Inuyasha has turned into his full youkai form and now he is saying something about a mate. Do any of you know what he is talking about?”

 

Miroku being the leader of the group said, “My Lord, did Inuyasha tell you anything about the girl he was with?”

 

Inutaisho looked at Miroku and said, “Only that there was danger coming and that he had to protect the girl. I told him that he didn't have to worry about that and for him to stay here.”

 

Miroku sighed as he said, “Sir, I think you should sit down. This news might be a little bit hard for you to take.”

 

Inutaisho eyed Miroku and then he seated himself behind his desk as Miroku proceeded to tell him everything he knew about where his son had been for the last month and the girl that he, apparently, made his mate.

 

Inutaisho listened to what Miroku had said. “Why didn't he tell me the truth about the girl if he was in love with her?”

 

Miroku sighed as he said, “When was the last time you have ever sat down and actually talked with your son?”

 

Inutaisho became enraged as he said, “I talk to my son!”

 

Miroku stood his ground, as he said, “No you don't, because if you ever did he would've told you about the girl. All you ever do is tell him what to do, where to go, what to wear. You never listen to him. I mean really listen to him when he talks.

 

Inuyasha thinks you don't care about him. He thinks that you only care about your desires and that his desires don't matter. So that's why he left to go after this girl. He really loves her and if I would've known that he had made her his mate I would've never had forced him to leave!” Said Miroku with anger in his voice. He wanted to get his point across to Lord Inutaisho.

 

Inutaisho couldn't believe that Miroku was talking to him in this manner. He never knew that his son felt this way.

 

He looked up from his desk and said, “Miroku, I want you to go after him and protect him. Make sure he doesn't get hurt and if he truly loves this girl then have him bring her here so I can meet her. If she is this special to him then I want to meet the girl that has captured the heart of my youngest son.”

 

Miroku bowed as he left Inutaisho office to go after Inuyasha again, but at least this time he knew where he was going.

 

~oOo~

 

Kagome was sitting outside in the garden. When she had gotten home she had cried her heart out. Inuyasha was gone and she was heartbroken. She didn't know what she was going to do now that he was gone. She felt like a part of her was missing and that he was never going to come back.

 

She had stopped her crying long enough to come outside into the garden were she sat and looked up at the moon that was shinning so brightly in the night sky. The moon reminded her of Inuyasha hair and the way it looked when she had brushed it that one and only time. It was so smooth and silky to the touch. She sighed as she remembered every touch, every kiss she had ever shared with him. She loved him deeply.

 

As Kagome was sitting outside looking at the moon she felt a presence coming towards her. She knew this aura but it seemed a lot stronger than she had remembered it. She stood up as she took a couple of steps towards the forest as a lone figure came out of it and started to come towards her.

 

At first Kagome didn't know who was approaching her but then she saw the silver mane and she gasped as she said, “Inu… Inuyasha?”

 

The demon Inuyasha had come out of the forest. He was searching for his mate when he came upon the girl. He growled deep and menacing as she came closer to him.

 

Kagome knew it was Inuyasha but for some reason he didn't seem to recognize her. As she came closer to him she heard his growls of warning to stay away. She couldn't help herself she had to go to him. Something was wrong and she needed to help him. His soul was calling out to her for help, as she got closer.

 

Inuyasha had been growling at the girl in front of him and then he caught her scent. `That scent, I recognize that scent,' as he growled and looked at the girl with interest.

 

When Kagome was close enough she noticed that there was something wrong with Inuyasha. His eyes were red and his fangs were longer, she saw two purple stripes on each side of his cheek. Then Kagome thought, `Oh, no he must've turned into his full youkai form. I've heard stories that this could happen to hanyou's but what could've happened to make him turn full youkai?'

 

Kagome stopped right in front of him as she saw him sniff the air. Kagome stood very still as he made his way towards her. When Inuyasha got closer to Kagome he sniffed her and then he said, “Mate?”

 

Kagome smiled and said, “Yes,” as Inuyasha came closer to her.

 

He then moved with such speed that Kagome didn't even notice when he had knocked her down and pinned her to the ground.

 

Inuyasha pulled at the top of her shirt until he ripped the garment to expose her shoulder. He sniffed her neck as he licked his mating mark and then he said with a growl, “My Mate Mine!!!!!!” and began purring with delight at finding his mate.

 

Kagome started to moan as she felt his hot tongue on her neck then she felt when he bit into her shoulder again. She suppressed her yell as she felt him release her shoulder and then he began to lick her wound. He started purring again while he was still saying, “My Mate Mine!”

 

`Oh no! That purr will make me fall asleep. I have to stay awake long enough to calm Inuyasha and return him to normal.' She thought as it was having its affect on her.

 

Inuyasha had released her wrists. He had her pinned with his body as he laid on top of her. He was enjoying her neck as his hands started to roam up and down her body and Kagome was reacting to his touch.

 

Kagome breath hitched as she thought, `Oh Kami, this feels so good but I have to keep my mind on what I have to do. I have to return Inuyasha to normal.' Her hand went up to his ears and she gently scratched them.

 

Inuyasha had closed his eyes as he felt the girl underneath him reach up and rub his ear. It relaxed him as he started to purr even more at what she was doing. When he opened his eyes again he was back to normal as he looked up and noticed that Kagome was underneath him.

 

Kagome smiled weakly at him and then fell asleep in his arms no longer being able to resist the spell he was putting on her to relax and sleep.

 

Inuyasha was confused, `How in the hell did I get here?' He looked down and noticed that Kagome was asleep in his arms and he was purring again.

 

Then he saw her torn shirt and saw the bite mark on her neck. `I must've done that when I found her. I guess my demon side decided that he was the one that was going to mark her.'

 

Inuyasha rose up from the ground as he brought Kagome with him. He walked back into the house with his sleeping mate curled up in his arms. He went to her room and placed her on her bed as he made a sweep of the house. When he was satisfied that there were no intruders he went back to her room and laid down next to her.

 

He hugged her tight in his embrace as he curled his body around her and buried his nose in her hair. Her scent always made him calm as he finally fell asleep.

 

~oOo~

 

Miroku and Shawn were traveling as fast as they could but the demon Inuyasha was proving to be faster than they could travel. They had left Mike behind because he couldn't travel at the speed in which they needed to travel to keep up with Inuyasha.

 

Miroku and Shawn had stopped on a tree branch as they caught their breath and Miroku asked, “How far ahead is he? Are we even getting close to him yet?”

 

Shawn sniffed the air and said, “We are getting close, he apparently has stopped somewhere up ahead.”

 

They both took off again as Shawn followed Inuyasha scent deeper into the forest. They arrived at the place where the girl lived and they heard someone talking up ahead. They approached the area being careful to be down wind from where Inuyasha was. They had no desire for him to attack them if he knew they were there.

 

When they looked through a bush they saw the demon Inuyasha growling at the girl who was trying to reach him.

 

Miroku tried to get up to go help the girl but Shawn put a gentle but firm hand on his shoulder and told him to watch.

 

Miroku did as he was told and watched as the girl stopped and the demon Inuyasha sniffed the air. They had heard him say, “Mate?” and they heard the girl's response to his question. Inuyasha moved with such speed that Miroku almost had a heart attack when he saw the demon pin the girl to the ground.

 

Shawn had to restrain Miroku from going to the girls aid as he whispered into his ear, “Watch.” Miroku watched with interest as he saw the hanyou rip the shirt to expose the girls shoulder and then sniff the area. He saw him start to lick her shoulder as he was saying, “My Mate Mine!”

 

Miroku couldn't believe what he was seeing. The demon Inuyasha knew the girl was his mate and didn't even hurt her. Miroku heard as the girl moan with desire from the attention she was getting. Then he saw Inuyasha bite into her shoulder as he slowly released her and started to purr again, as he continued to lick her neck and shoulder in delight.

 

Miroku saw as Kagome reach up and gently rubbed his ear as he started to purr even louder and they saw when she returned Inuyasha back to normal. They both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. The girl had managed to calm him enough for him to return to his old self.

 

They saw him get up with the girl in his arms as he headed toward the house and entered it.

 

Miroku turned his attention to Shawn and said, “Do you mind explaining what just happened out there? How did you know he wouldn't hurt her?”

 

They both sat up as Shawn took a deep breath and tried to explain. “The hanyou Inuyasha had marked the girl as his mate and his demon side knew this. But the hanyou Inuyasha scent was weak.

 

I knew that he wouldn't harm her because he was hell bent on finding his mate. When he found her he gave her another mating mark, which has a stronger scent. In this way if she is ever taken away from him he will be able to follow her because his scent would be stronger.”

 

Miroku looked at Shawn in awe as he said, “How do you know all this? You're not a hanyou.”

 

Shawn laughed and said, “No, I'm not, but I am an Inu youkai and I know how the demon bloods works. I knew he wouldn't hurt her but he wouldn't have hesitated to hurt us if we got in his way. I suggest that we leave them alone for tonight. We can talk to them in the morning about returning with us.”

 

Miroku agreed to his request as they both settled down to rest. They have traveled long and hard today. They didn't want to get into another fight with Inuyasha and make his demon side come out again.

 

He would prefer to talk to the girl alone, if at all possible, and convince her and Inuyasha to come back with them. It will not be easy but they had to at least try.

 

~oOo~

 

Kagome awoke the next morning with Inuyasha curled up around her as if she was going to leave him. He had his arms wrapped around her waist, her back pressed against his chest, as he was gently breathing in and out. His head was buried in her hair and it was tickling her. She started to giggle at the nice warm feeling it gave her as Inuyasha started to purr and brought her closer to him.

 

Kagome tried to get out of bed and all she got for her effort was a low growl protesting her movement. Inuyasha wasn't about to give up his nice warm body as he brought her back to him and held her even tighter.

 

Kagome sighed as she thought, `How am I going to get him to release me.' Then she got an idea as she rolled over and casually draped her arm around his chest to let it rest on his back as she snuggled closer to him.

 

Inuyasha feeling that she had settled back down next to him smiled inwardly as he brought her closer to him.

 

Kagome had other plans in mind as she started to move her fingers up and down his back in a gentle motion causing him to hitch his breath as she continued. She smiled when she felt him shiver as she continued to tickle his back.

 

Inuyasha finally couldn't take it any more as he briefly released her and Kagome took the opportunity to get out of bed.

 

Inuyasha's eyes snapped open when he saw that the girl was laughing at him as she made a dash for the door.

 

Inuyasha being in a playful mood gave chase as he chased her from her room throughout the house.

 

You could hear the laughter coming from inside the house as Kagome opened the door and race out of the house with a very irritated hanyou following close behind her. She made it into the forest as she tried to hide from him.

 

Inuyasha succeeded in finding her hiding place as he pounced on her and they fell in a heap on the ground. He looked into her eyes as he said, “So you thought that was funny? Tickling me to get me to let go of you and then running out here so you can hide.”

 

Kagome stopped her laughing long enough to answer his question, “Yes, that was very funny. If you weren't holding me so tight then I would've been able to get up and go do some training, but you saw it fit just to lay in bed and then you expected me to stay there with you.”

 

Inuyasha looked at her in disbelief, “Of coarse I expected you to stay with me bitch, who else would I want to be with?”

 

Kagome raised her eyebrow at the word he used and Inuyasha saw this. He was afraid that he had offended her as he released her after seeing the anger in her eyes.

 

Kagome sat up as she looked at Inuyasha and said, “Inuyasha, don't you ever call me a bitch! I may be a lot of thing but I'm certainly not a bitch!”

 

Inuyasha looked at her with confusion written all over his face, then he grabbed her and kissed her passionately. She started to fight because she was still mad at him for calling her a bitch. He held her even tighter in his lap as she finally gave into his kiss. He slowly lowered her back to the ground, never breaking from the kiss they were enjoying.

 

When Inuyasha finally released her he looked into her eyes and said, “Kagome, you are a bitch, a bitch to me is my female and mine alone.” As he lowered his head and nuzzled her under her chin.

 

Kagome turned bright red from embarrassment as she finally remembered the other meaning to the word bitch, `a female dog.' She looked up at Inuyasha and tried to explain her reactions to the word.

 

“Inuyasha, I'm sorry but that word has other meanings too. It could mean malicious, spiteful, or a domineering woman. I forgot that you're a dog demon and a bitch sometimes means a female dog.” She lowered her head in embarrassment as she heard Inuyasha laugh at what she had said.

 

“Kagome, you have to remember that a lot of the things I say means something totally different to me, than it would for you. So don't get mad before you think things through on their meaning.” Inuyasha chuckled as he held her tighter and then kissed her once again.

 

Inuyasha was really enjoying his kiss with Kagome. He had moved his hand up her shirt and was caressing her stomach. He heard a noise in the forest and he snapped his head up trying to find the intruders.

 

He picked up a scent that he didn't like as he got off the girl and said in a very dangerous voice, “Miroku, Shawn I want you two to come out here where I can see you. If you don't then I'll be forced to come and get you and your not going to like what I'm going to do to you.”

 

Miroku and Shawn looked at each other as they slowly got up from behind a bush and stared at the face of an enraged hanyou. They knew they were in for it when they saw how mad he was.

 

Miroku tried to explain, “Um, Inuyasha, its not what your thinking, we weren't spying on you we came here with a message from your father.

 

If anything could have made Inuyasha any angrier it was the mention of his father. He started to growl viciously as he got ready to attack, then Kagome reached up and started to massage his ear and the growls started to turn into purrs.

 

Miroku and Shawn looked relieved when they heard the purr coming from the hanyou. “Thank you, we didn't know what we were going to do if he attacked us. We really do have a message from his father.” Miroku said with a big sigh, glad to be alive at the moment.

 

Kagome eyed the two in front of her with interest as she looked at them and said, “What could be so important that you would risk his wrath to bring it here? I know that he has already talked to his father. So what does he want now? Does he want to cause his son more pain because of me?”

 

Inuyasha had heard her words and it hurt him deeply. She thought that she was the cause of his fathers anger as he said, “Kagome, you're not to blame for what happened between me and my father. We have never seen eye to eye on anything and this time it's no different.”

 

Kagome heard Inuyasha speak to her and she had stopped rubbing his ear, when he was done she said, “If I'm not the cause of the problem between you and your father then what could he want now?”

 

Inuyasha and Kagome both turned their attention to Miroku.

 

Miroku saw the question in their eyes as he walked over to them and sat down and tried to explain what had happen.

 

“Inuyasha, when you left your fathers office you had said something about finding your mate. Your father heard this and when we entered his office he asked me what was going on. I told him everything I knew about the girl and that you cared deeply for her.”

 

Inuyasha was shocked that Miroku had done this. He listened as Miroku told him everything he had told his father.

 

When Miroku was finished with his story Inuyasha then said, “I'm surprised you're still alive after what you said to my father. He can be more stubborn than me when it comes to things like this. He never listens whenever I talk and that's why we have drifted so far apart from each other.”

 

Kagome was hearing everything that was being said, she felt that this was a conversation that they needed to have in private as she started to get up to leave.

 

Inuyasha saw her getting up as he grabbed her wrist and said, “Kagome? Where are you going?” He was hurt that she was going to leave him alone with is friends.

 

Kagome looked at him and smiled as she said, “I think this is something that you two should talk about. I'm not needed in this conversation. I'm going to go and get ready to leave, I want to check the boundaries to the land. I will see you later.”

 

She leaned over and kissed him as she tried to stand to leave but Inuyasha wasn't about to let her go. That nagging feeling was back and there was danger somewhere, he wasn't about to let her go anywhere by herself.

 

Miroku saw what was happening and then he said, “Um, Kagome, the message I bring is for you.”

 

Inuyasha looked at Miroku with shock in his eyes he couldn't believe that his father would be sending Kagome a message.

 

Kagome sat back down and then she asked, “What kind of message could he possibly send me?”

 

Miroku took a deep breath and then he said, “He wants you to come and visit. He says that he wants to meet the girl that has stolen the heart of his youngest son. This is a request not a command and I have to tell you that he doesn't know that you're Princess Kagome heir to the thrown of the Southern Lands.”

 

Inuyasha eyes grew big as his temper started to flare and said, “You didn't tell him that she was the princess? But you can tell him everything else about my life!”

 

Miroku held up his hands as he waved them in front of him trying to calm the enraged hanyou down. “Now, now Inuyasha I did smooth things over for you but I think that this is something that you two need to tell him.”

 

Kagome once again reached over and started to rub Inuyasha ears as he started to purr. Then he pulled away from her and said, “I wish you quit doing that!”

 

Kagome just looked at him and said, “I wouldn't have to do that if you could control your temper or do I have to put another necklace around your neck?”

 

Inuyasha's eyes about fell out of his head as he said, “You wouldn't dare?”

 

Kagome looked at him and as she partially closed her eyes to glare at him and she said in a menacing voice, “Try me!”

 

Inuyasha ears went flat against his head as he yielded to her and whimpered. He knew that she could do it so he had to be careful with his temper if he didn't want another necklace around his neck.

 

Kagome saw Inuyasha submit to her and this pleased her. She didn't want to put the necklace back on around his neck if he could control his temper but if he couldn't then she would have no choice if he protested having his ears rubbed.

 

Kagome turned her attention to Miroku who was sitting there with a smile on his face. He had witnessed the confrontation between them and then she said, “When would he like me to visit?”

 

Miroku was snapped back to reality as he said, “Whenever it's convenient for you.”

 

Kagome thought for a few minutes and then turned to Inuyasha and asked, “Inuyasha, your home is to the west of here, correct?”

 

Inuyasha nodded his head to her indicating that it was correct. Kagome thought for a few minutes and then asked, “Is your home anywhere near the forbidden lands?”

 

Inuyasha sighed as he said, “It's on the other side of the forbidden lands.” He knew he wasn't going to be able to stop her from going to see his father.

 

Kagome stood up and then leaned down and said in Inuyasha's ear, “Koi, could I speak to you in private?”

 

Inuyasha smiled, he loved it when she called him that, as he stood and they started to head towards the house. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder as he was walking and said, “We'll be back in a few minutes. I want you to wait for us.”

 

Miroku inclined his head towards Inuyasha indicating that he understood. He then turned his attention to Shawn who was sitting very quietly not even saying a word throughout the whole conversation he was having with the couple.

 

He looked at him and said, “Shawn, why didn't you say anything? I could've used some help you know.”

 

Shawn just smiled and said, “You were doing so well by yourself that I didn't have anything to say. But I will say this. That girl has him figured out to the letter. She knows how to calm him when he gets out of hand and her miko powers must be powerful if even he backs down and submitted to her when she threaten to put another necklace around his neck.”

 

Miroku laughed as he said, “You do have a point. She is powerful and she radiates a certain power that even I can't refuse her request.”

 

They both sat in silence waiting for Inuyasha to return with an answer to see if they were going to go with them back to the Western Lands.

 

~oOo~

 

Kagome walked into the house with Inuyasha following close behind her. She stopped and then turned towards him as she asked, “Inuyasha, why don't you want me to go and see your father? Are you ashamed of who I am?” Said Kagome as she lowered her head. She couldn't bear to see the expression on his face as she said this.

 

Inuyasha couldn't believe what she had said, “Kagome, I'm not ashamed of you. I love you. It's just that my father wanting to see you is a little too much for me to take right now. He has never shown any interest in anything I do, that for him to request this is unusual.”

 

Kagome looked up and said, “So, if I said I'm willing to go and see him will you be mad at me?”

 

Inuyasha stepped forward and brought her into his arms and said, “No, I wouldn't be mad at you. As a matter of fact I would be honored if you met him. That way you would know for yourself if he would object to a union between us. Not that I care. I still want to mate with you but it would be better if he gave his consent.”

 

Kagome was listening to what he was saying as she slowly wrapped her arms around his waist and brought him closer to her. She felt safe in his arms and she wanted to be with him even if their parents objected to the union.

 

Kagome looked up and said, “Thank you, at least I know how you feel about all this. I want to visit him but I also want to go and check the barrier. They are getting weak because slavers have been coming into the land and taking demons again so I have to reinforce them. We can do both as we travel. The boarders of the protected lands and the forbidden lands meet to the west so once I have checked those then we can go and see your father. Once we leave there then I can check the rest.”

 

Inuyasha looked down and smiled at her as he agreed to her request and then he kissed her. When they pulled apart she said, “I want to eat something before we go. Why don't you go and get your friends and I will fix all of us some breakfast before we leave.”

 

Inuyasha smiled at the thought of food and then frowned at the thought of having to share it with Miroku and Shawn.

 

Kagome looked at him with a raised eyebrow at the expression he had on his face. He sighed and then went outside to get his friends so they could eat and then leave to go visit his father.

 

Inuyasha walked back outside to where his friends were sitting. He told them of the plan to go and check the barrier around the protected lands and then head west to visit his father.

 

Shawn and Miroku were happy to hear this and even more happy that Kagome was fixing them all something to eat. Inuyasha's ears perked up as he said, “Foods ready we should go in and eat before it gets cold.”

 

All three of them walked towards the house to get some of that wonderful smelling food that they were sniffing.

 

~oOo~

 

Out in the forest there had been another set of ears that was listening to everything the hanyou was saying. He turned and headed back towards his pack to inform his leader of the girls plan so they could get ready.

 

The spy arrived back at the wolf demons cave as he approached Kouga with his news, “Kouga, the girl has plans to leave and check the barriers around the protected lands then she is heading west to visit someone.”

 

Kouga sat there and listened to what his spy had to say then he thought, `hmm, with her leaving her home it should be easy enough to overpower her escorts, grab her, and bring her back here so I could make her my woman.'

 

He continued to think as he formed a plan then he said to his spy, “I want you to go and tell Kusco that we are moving today to get the girl. Tell her to meet us by the cliffs if she wants to capture the hanyou.

 

The protected lands go in that direction so the girl is sure to follow that route. We will attack and separate them from the girl, and then we grab her and bring her back here. It should be simple enough and we shouldn't have any problems in getting her if Kusco does her part.”

 

The spy bowed as he left the cave to relay the message to Kusco. Kouga just sat there thinking about the girl in the picture and how he was going to make her his woman by the end of the day.

 

He got up and gathered his men together as they headed out to plot the kidnapping of the girl that they wanted him to kill.

 

~oOo~

 

Kusco was standing outside of the processing facility as she was receiving a shipment of demons. She looked up in time to see a messenger arrive from Kouga's pack as she turned and headed in his direction to see what he wanted.

 

The messenger quickly told her about the plan to capture the girl today and told her where the ambush was going to be.

 

Kusco got a big smile on her face as she told him that she would be there with her people to capture the hanyou. The messenger left and Kusco turned and walked back to the facility, happy that she was getting her sex toy back today.

 

~oOo~

 

Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku and Shawn left her house after they had finished breakfast. She couldn't believe how much food three demons could eat. She had made a big breakfast enough to feed 10 people and it was just barely enough to feed the four of them.

 

After breakfast she had gone to change and put something on that would allow her to travel easily through the forest. She had on some black leggings, a red T-shirt and short black boots. She would be using her miko powers to enhance her muscles so they could travel quickly through the area.

 

So now they were traveling with speed as she was checking all of the wards that protected the lands. She re-enforced them as she went giving them more power to prevent the slavers from coming onto the land.

 

Miroku and Shawn were having a hard time keeping up with the girl and Inuyasha. They were moving so fast through the forest that they almost lost them a couple of times. They couldn't understand how the girl could move so fast and so quickly.

 

They finally slowed down when they came to the cliffs as Inuyasha was starting to get an uneasy feeling about the place. His senses were going wild as he sensed danger and he moved closer to Kagome to protect her.

 

Kagome saw what he was doing and opened up her senses to see if she could detect any impending danger up ahead. She gasped as she caught the aura of wolves surrounding them. She looked at Inuyasha and said, “Inuyasha, there are wolves everywhere. They are surrounding us and they plan on attacking.”

 

No sooner had she said this as the wolf demons attacked the small group.

 

Inuyasha was at Kagome side protecting her as Miroku and Shawn fought with the wolves that were attacking. They made a break to where the hanyou and the girl were standing and effectively separated the pair.

 

Kouga came rushing in and grabbed the girl. He threw her over his shoulder as he proceeded to run away with his captive.

 

Kagome seeing that she was being taken away screamed at the top of her lungs, “INUYASHA!!!!!!”

 

Inuyasha quickly turned to see that his mate was being taken away as she was fighting with the wolf that held her. He saw the wolf stop and put the girl down as he struck her with the back of his hand and she fell limp in his arms. He threw her over his shoulder again as he yelled for his men to get the hell out of the cliffs.

 

The wolves retreated as Inuyasha became enraged at seeing his mate being taken away. He was about to go after her when he caught the stench of that wench from the processing facility.

 

Kusco came out of the forest ready to do battle as she eyed the object of her affection.

 

Inuyasha was beginning to lose control as the wench said, “Why hello my handsome hanyou. Have you missed me? I have come back to take you to the processing facility” she said as she licked her lips at him.

 

Inuyasha was not about to be captured by her again. His mate was in danger and he had to get to her. He was growling so loud that Miroku and Shawn had appeared at his side to help him defeat this wench.

 

Kusco eyed the new demons that arrived to stand next to the hanyou and said, “Oh, more toys for me to play with. I shall capture you two as well and bring you back to the processing facility.”

 

Shawn moved closer to Inuyasha and said in an urgent voice, “Inuyasha, you need to get away from here as fast as possible. Kouga has your mate and he means to make her his woman. That wench in front of us put him up to it in order for the slavers to stay away from his pack. She wants him to kill the girl but he wants to make her his woman. The cave is located about 25 miles north of here behind a waterfall.”

 

Inuyasha inclined his head at the information he was given. His demon blood was beginning to boil at the thought of someone else mating with his mate. He was losing control as his eyes started to turn red.

 

Kusco didn't waste any time as she threw a subduing necklace at the hanyou while he was momentarily distracted. It landed around his neck as she said `SIT!'

 

Inuyasha went down as his rage took over at not being able to move. His eyes turned completely red, as his fangs and his claws grew longer, and two stripes appeared on each side of his cheeks. He was fighting against the spell. His need to go to his mate was fueling his rage as he slowly started to get up from the ground.

 

Kusco was approaching the hanyou as he laid on the ground in front of her. Her eyes grew big when she saw him getting up from the ground. She said, “SIT” but it didn't have any effect on him as he rose off the ground and stared at her.

 

His eyes were blood red as he reached up and pulled the necklace off his neck. He flexed his claws as he said, “So you were the one that had my mate taken away from me. I will make sure that you never hurt anyone ever again.” He growled as he was going towards them.

 

Miroku and Shawn saw what the demon Inuyasha was about to do and Miroku said, “Inuyasha, you need to go after Kagome before Kouga makes her his mate. We will take care of these intruders for you!” He had hoped that this would be enough to get him to leave and go after the girl.

 

Inuyasha growled as he turned and left the area in a blur following the scent of his mate towards the wolf's den.

 

Miroku and Shawn turned their attention toward the slavers in front of them and said, “We have just saved your lives. He would've killed you if we didn't remind him of his mate. But don't think that this is over, we will make sure that you will never torture any more demons.” Then they both started to advance towards the slavers.

 

Kusco was shocked, never before had a demon been able to break a subduing necklace and this hanyou broke it with no problem. Now they were facing the other two demons that remained behind to take care of them. She turned and started to run back towards the forest with her men following closely behind her.

 

Miroku and Shawn looked at their retreating form as they smiled at each other. Then they turned serious as Miroku said, “Shawn, do you think you can either remember where the wolf's cave is or can you follow Inuyasha's scent?”

 

Shawn turned towards his friend and said, “Both, I know I can find it but his scent is a lot easier to follow. We better get going if we are to help him save the girl.”

 

Miroku nodded his agreement as he followed Shawn through the forest. They were racing against time to save the girl from a life of misery of being a mate to a wolf demon.
