Chapter 3: Secret of the Inu Priestess

Kagome and Sesshoumaru froze in place, the same thought running through both their minds, 'Why did we try to kiss?' Sesshoumaru took a step away from Kagome as she did the same with him, her face completely scarlet.

InuYasha looked from Kagome to Sesshoumaru confused, growling deep in his throat, InuYasha gripped Kagome's shoulder and attempted to pull her behind him yet again. Suddenly Sesshoumaru moved without realizing it, he had gripped Kagome about her waist and pulled her flush against his chest, growling protectively the whole time.

 

Kagome flinched when she felt InuYasha's touch and for some unknown reason it repulsed her, then when she felt the strong touch of Sesshoumaru, her body relaxed letting him move her easily. InuYasha stared at them as he clenched his fists in anger, "tell me what the fuck is going on."

Sesshoumaru was the first to answer, "This Sesshoumaru does not answer questions from one such as you, little brother." He looked down at the woman in his arms, his face was an emotionless mask that hid his true emotion, confusion. Kagome was looking at him as well, she saw the marks on his cheeks and lifted her hand, running her fingers over the marking she heard Sesshomaru purring quietly.

 

His purring caused an unknown emotion to run through her as she stood on her tiptoes and touched his lips lightly with her own. Sesshoumaru was thoroughly shocked at her touch, he loved the feel of her soft lips touching his as he pulled her in closer.

Kagome's mind was on overload, all these feelings and memories from her birth flooded through her. Sesshoumaru was a constant in the whole mess, he was the only thing that didn't change, he was hers. That thought shocked Kagome, she never had claimed anything as being hers and only hers, now there was Sesshoumaru.

She had claimed him the very day she was born, but the fact that scared her the most was that she had no intention of releasing him from that claim, ever.

Pulling away, Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru's confused and shocked expression that appeared in his eyes, she felt suddenly aware of what she had just done. 'I kissed him, I kissed Sesshoumaru in front of all my friends and InuYasha,' she took a deep breath as she glanced over at InuYasha. He was frozen in shock at what he had just witnessed, his eyes were glued on Sesshoumaru.

 

Sesshoumaru missed the feel of Kagome's soft lips on his, he wanted more and he could feel his inner youkai reacting to that soft caress. She was looking away but the way she had her hand clutching his armor, he knew that she had no intention of letting go. Sesshoumaru felt better upon noticing this, it made him realize that he didn't want her to release him, he very much liked the thought of having her as his mate.

"InuYasha, calm down, I'll explain." Kagome turned back to look up at Sesshoumaru her eyes filled with a gentle contentedness, she placed her free hand on his shoulder, "Sesshoumaru, please sit down, we need to explain this to them." Sesshoumaru didn't reply he only lifted her up into his arms and sat down crossing his legs, he then let go of Kagome, causing her to land in his lap.

Kagome let out a little giggle at his actions, he was being just plain silly, 'more like a love struck puppy.' She smiled at that thought, it did suit his behavior, from what she had heard about him from InuYasha he never would behave this way normally. That struck a chord in her mind, 'does he really like me, or is it just because I am an Inu Priestess,' unsure about it Kagome decided to worry about it latter.

InuYasha took that moment to come out of his shock only to see Kagome sitting comfortably in Sesshoumaru's lap, feeling his anger growing by the second he clenched his fist as he glared at Sesshoumaru.

 

Sesshoumaru ignored InuYasha's little attempt at being cold, he was to busy trying to figure out what he had just done. Kagome had asked for him to sit down and he did so with out a second thought, 'this woman can control me...why does that not bother me?'

While Sesshoumaru was lost in his own thought's Kagome looked at her stupefied friends, sighing, she decided it was time to explain. "Alright, to start things off, I have to explain what this is." Pulling the side of Sesshoumaru's kimono top down her shoulder, she showed them the birthmark, Kagome froze as she noticed that the marking had changed slightly.

Behind the dog, the moon shape had become clear, it was crescent shaped like Sesshoumaru's mark. Glancing up she looked to the marking and understood that he was definitely the one she had picked, she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder as she looked to see Sesshoumaru's hand.

He was running two of his fingers over the marking and it was making her body tremble in a new way, 'I wonder if this is how Sesshoumaru feels when his markings are touched.' Mentally slapping herself for getting off track, Kagome turned to look at her friends while Sesshomaru continued to stroke her marking gently.

"This marking signifies that I am a special type of miko, I am an Inu Priestess." Kagome watched as Sango just nodded her head, while Miroku stared at her like she had just gone nuts.

After a moment passed Miroku spoke up, "So, you are an Inu Priestess...that explains why InuYasha and Sesshoumaru are here. But, Kagome, why is your marking maroon and have that crescent shape behind it. That is not normal for an Inu Priestess's mark." Kagome nodded her head as she listened to him speak, when he finished she let out a deep sigh and continued her explanation.

"That, Miroku, is because I have already picked the male that I wish to mate with...I...uh...kinda did it when I was born. The moon behind it and the color change signify my choice, I could give up that claim if I want...but I have decided against it." Kagome felt her face flush red as she spoke, her eyes locked with Sesshoumaru's as she said the last part, letting him see her resolve.

Sesshoumaru felt his body tingle with an unknown warmth as he heard her words, 'she wants to stay with me, thank you kami-sama.' Miroku was stunned from what Kagome had said, he also felt a deep sence of confusion as he studied Kagome's mark and realized that she had claimed none other than Sesshoumaru.

 

InuYasha stared in surprised shock and rubbed his eyes, not wishing to believe what his ears and eyes told him to be true. 'She couldn't have, not with him of all people. Please no...' opening his eyes he caught the look that Sesshoumaru was giving Kagome as she sat in his lap unsuspecting.

A rage he had never known boiled in his blood as he felt the steady trickle of blood flowing from his clenched fists, he couldn't sit here and watch this anymore. Getting to his feet quickly, he turned his back to his friends and leapt off into the trees, feeling like he had just gone through a meat grinder.

Sesshoumaru watched his brother's retreating back and felt a smirk twitching at his lips, 'InuYasha can never have what's mine...mine...I guess she really is mine.' Looking down again he allowed the edge of his lips turn up in a slight smile, Kagome was looking up at him, her face filled with awe at his expression.

'He's smiling...I mean actually smiling?' Curious, Kagome reached a hand towards his face and ran her fingers along the side of his lips, his hot breath on her fingers was making a light blush flash across her cheeks.

Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrows in surprise, 'does she realize what she is doing?'

 

Suddenly Kagome's eyes went wide as her face turned crimson, pulling her hand back she looked away and just now noticed that InuYasha had left. That thought made her heart hurt, 'poor InuYasha...I didn't want to hurt him.'

Deciding that she should clear the air between InuYasha and herself, Kagome placed one hand on the ground and pulled herself to her feet. She started to walk towards the direction she sensed InuYasha in when she felt something soft stroke her leg. Glancing over her shoulder she saw Sesshoumaru looking at her, sighing, Kagome reached her hand out to him.

"Come on, let's go and talk to InuYasha about this." Sesshoumaru simply got up and took Kagome's hand in his, not caring how much emotion he was showing at this time. Kagome smiled and started forward, just as they reached the tree line she glanced back at her friends. "Guys, wait here, we will be right back."

 

Once into the trees Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru, "Ummm...could you...uh..." Sesshoumaru smirked as he scooped Kagome up into his arms and leapt off through the trees in the direction he could smell InuYasha from. After a couple minutes of leaping Sesshoumaru came to a stop near the bone-eaters well.

InuYasha was standing in the clearing and staring at the well, his back to them. Kagome looked up to Sesshoumaru and he placed her on her feet, Kagome flashed him a grateful smile before running over to InuYasha and leaping on him.

InuYasha had been so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't even smell their approach, when Kagome had tackled him he was caught completely unawares.

Unable to steady himself, both InuYasha and Kagome fell towards the well. Seeing this, Sesshomaru rushed forward to catch Kagome, but when he reached them they had already begun their decent into the well.

Growling, Sesshoumaru leapt in after them and was shocked to find himself bathed in a blue light. It appeared and faded quickly, Sesshoumaru felt his feet touch the bottom of the well and saw that Kagome was right at his side, sitting upon InuYasha's back.

Letting out a protective growl, Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome to his chest and leapt out of the well. He froze at what he saw, around him was a building of some sort, 'this was not here when I followed Kagome down the well.'

"Sesshoumaru...uh..." Kagome didn't know what to do, she had no intention of having Sesshoumaru of all people come to her time. InuYasha was one thing but Sesshoumaru...said Inu-youkai directed his gaze to the woman in his arms.

 

"Where are we...this place is different than the one we left." Kagome could only gape at him in silence, 'what should I do...wait...I'm an Inu Priestess right? He has to do as I tell him...heh, I think I'm going to like this.' "Sesshoumaru, help InuYasha out of the well." 'This is it, I wonder if it will really work.'

Sesshoumaru tilted his head at her and was about to respond when he felt his body move on its own. He had leapt down the well, still cradling Kagome. He then gripped the back of InuYasha's kimono and leapt out of the well, dropping his half-brother roughly upon the ground. Only then was he able to speak, "What did you just do to this Sesshoumaru?"

'Score!' Kagome felt a smirk appear on her face and she knew that there was no way this would be a dull visit home, not at all.

Sesshoumaru felt a sence of dread flow through him as he saw the smirk form on Kagome's face, only one thought raced through his mind, 'what have I gotten myself into?'
