InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Blood-Red Eyes ❯ Chapter 13

Still don't own them. Double damn.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Kouga." Inuyasha glared at the wolf prince, who seemed to be severely pissed off. Well, good, he was pissed off, too, since Kouga just completely broke into something that he had no right to. Every demon would be able to smell Inuyasha on her, and would be able to notice the mark on her, claiming her as his mate. So why the HELL was he here?!

"Inukoro! What the hell do you think you're doing to my mate?!" Inuyasha hadn't been wrong in his guess that Kouga was pissed. He was beyond pissed. As far as he could tell, Inuyasha had had sex with HIS Kagome!! He didn't think Kagome would really mate with a half-breed, so he knew that the mutt had probably forced her. `Bastard…'

No one noticed Kagome trying to hide her almost bare chest with her arms as she hid behind her mate, her face deepening to crimson. Well, almost no one. But she didn't noticed him as she peeked around Inuyasha, her eyes falling on the bunch of fabric Kouga dropped when he entered the clearing. She wanted to smack herself in the head when she realized that it was the clothing she had left in the shape of an arrow for Inuyasha to find. Her eyes widened as she realized what Kouga must have smelled.

Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga, hating the fact that, as a human, it would not transform. He wouldn't have much of a chance against Kouga if the wolf decided to attack. And from the look on the youkai's face, attacking was definitely being considered.

As the young prince attacked him, though, Inuyasha refused to back down. When the wolf was mere centimeters from him, though, a white blur flew by and knocked the youkai from his path. Kouga ended up slammed up against a tree nearby, a set of very deadly claws pressed against his throat in an equally deadly grip.

Never the brightest crayon in the box, Kouga chose to insult now, figure out the person defending the mutt later. "You stupid idiot!!! Why did you stop me?!" Kouga snarled at his attacker as he looked up into his face, just registering the pair of eyes that looked only slightly brighter than the hanyou's usually were, along with the matching silver hair. But there, the resemblance ended. This was no hanyou, he could tell. He may not be a genius, but the site of the pointed youkai ears and the armor, along with the fluffy tail draped over his right shoulder told him that his opponent was a full-blood youkai, an inu-youkai, and possibly related to the mutt.

"No one shall kill my brother, unless this Sesshoumaru is the one to do it." NOW Kouga froze. He had only heard the name `Sesshoumaru' a few times. (I know in one episode they meet, but I don't know how much Kouga knows about him, so I'm basing this on the idea that they never met.) It had always been spoken with either hatred or respect. They said that he was… Kouga's eyes narrowed slightly as he focused on the other youkai's features, taking in everything this time, including the red stripes on his face, and the blue crescent moon upon his forehead that proved Kouga's assumptions true. And the fact that the person whom he now knew was the famed Lord of the Western Lands was calling Inuyasha his BROTHER really spelled trouble for the poor prince.

The Lord of the Western Lands, he knew, was the son of the powerful Taiyoukai Inutaisho. Which meant, that if the Inukoro and the Demon Lord were brothers, then the mutt was also Inutaisho's son. He had just attacked another member of royalty, and one MUCH higher than him on the royal scale. While he ruled the wolf-demons in his area, Inuyasha, being the younger brother to Sesshoumaru, had the right to claim any land in this territory as his own, and anything within it as his as well. But he would first require the assent of his elder brother.

"Sesshoumaru! I've heard of you, and your hatred for the half-breed! If you let me go, I'll kill him, and you can take his sword, while I take my mate!" He knew he was acting strangely, but his LIFE was on the line, here! Who would protect his pack if he were to die at the hand of this angry dog-demon? He turned pleading eyes to Kagome. "Kagome, my mate, I know you never wanted to mate with him. I know he forced you. Please, just come over here to me, and I swear that I'll make sure he never hurts you like that again."

Kagome froze, staring at the scene before her. Inuyasha was looking at Kagome almost nervously, wondering if Kouga was right, and Sesshoumaru was apparently waiting for her answer before deciding what he was going to do to the poor wolf. And the said youkai was giving Kagome a pair of puppy-dog eyes that rivaled Shippou's. She knew what she had to do, but she had never really thought about the moment she'd have to tell the poor youkai what he refused to hear.

"Kouga, I DO care for you, but - "

"You see!!! She DOES love me!! Me, and not the Inukoro! So let me go, you baka yarou!"

Sesshoumaru growled and pulled his hand back before slamming the youkai back against the tree, his claws starting to tinge slightly green, allowing a flowery smell to reach Kouga's nose, the only warning available to him before he learned what Dokkasou was. But Kagome interjected before that lesson could even begin.

"Kouga, let me finish. I said, I DO care for you, but I don't LOVE you. At least, not like that…" She watched as the tail drooped to hang between his legs, and his eyes dropped down to stare at the arm connecting to the hand at his throat. "Sesshoumaru, I know you hate us, but please… don't kill him, okay??? "

The Taiyoukai turned to look at Kagome, who was standing beside his shocked baka of a brother, not even trying to hide herself anymore. Her back was straight, her chin was high, and her arms were down to her sides, curled into fists. He understood better than the youkai in his claws that the miko and his brother had mated. He had known since the moment he could smell him. And when he had first found him, he could smell him pretty strongly. The smell of blood and sex was still on him, signaling to Sesshoumaru that his brother had only newly mated, and was therefore off-limits for a fight. Especially during such activities they were doing before the wolf arrived.

He would never tell the miko he respected her. He would never admit he thought her a good match for the idiot half-breed. While he still hated his brother for being his father's favorite, a fact Inuyasha never failed to rub in, his brother was still his brother, and his father's son. For a mere wolf-youkai who was too stupid or too hot-headed to know or care that when youkai are mating, you did not interfere, to defeat one of HIS bloodline, during his night of weakness, no less, was a GREAT injury to his own pride.

Without so much as a nod, he turned to glare at the wolf before him, tempted to simply unleash the poison in his claws and destroy the person who would try to kill his half-brother. He had warned the dead miko before that Inuyasha was his to kill, but she insisted she would be the one to take the hanyou to hell with her. When he had learned of Inuyasha's defeat of the woman as a full youkai, he had been both satisfied, and disturbed. He had immediately come to investigate, only to find his brother as a hanyou again, rutting with the young miko who traveled with him. And at the reminder of the night of the New Moon, he decided to stay nearby, certain someone would attempt to attack them on this night.

He stared at the wolf who hung limply in his grasp, sadness evident in his eyes. Almost the same sadness his Rin had held when he had first refused to eat so long ago, before he revived her. Growling, he knew he would not kill the youkai, and that the human girl had softened him. So, rather than kill him, Sesshoumaru merely squeezed the other's neck slightly, gaining his attention.

"Inuyasha has mated with her by his own choice. She agreed. He did NOT force himself upon her. If he had, she could have stopped him. When a youkai or hanyou mate, they are NOT to be disturbed. Inuyasha is MINE to kill, when I choose. I should kill you, but the miko wishes you to live, so therefore, you will stay away from my brother. Otherwise, not even she will stop me from killing you." He pulled the now wide-eyed wolf away from the tree, and with a careless flick of the wrist, tossed the youkai back into the forest. Sesshoumaru turned to face his half-brother and his mate momentarily before merely walking off into the woods, in the opposite direction as the wolf.

"Okay," Inuyasha finally said. "What did I miss?" Kagome smiled and kissed his nose lightly.

"I think your brother just saved us both." Inuyasha glared down at his mate, not really wanting to agree with her that the arrogant bastard had showed up right before he would have been sliced through with an angry Kouga's claws. His glare began to fade as he looked down at his love, feeling himself harden at the sight of her, half-naked and pressed against him slightly, not caring about her lack of clothing and smiling up at him.

Immediately he moved his face down to nuzzle at her neck, his hands wrapping around her waist and pulling her closer to him. "Remind me to thank him someday," he muttered, then began to kiss the creamy expanse of her throat lightly, his lips parted and his tongue darting out to flick over her skin quickly before he moved his mouth away to a new spot. He was rewarded with a soft whimper as his mate slipped her hands back inside his kimono, his haori falling from his shoulders as he let her go just long enough to drop it.

Enjoying the movement of her fingers over his chest, he nipped lightly at her throat before moving his face back to where it had been before they had been interrupted by the idiot wolf, resting between her breasts as he kissed and licked at the valley between them, his hand coming up from her waist to finally unclasp the bra and take it off without tearing or slashing at it. With a soft smile at his mate's gasp, he began to brush his knuckles against the soft white skin now exposed to him, watching as her nipples hardened to rosy peaks and knowing that he was hardening in answer under his hakama.

Reverently, he began to rub his nose against the hardened flesh, listening as she emitted soft sighs and quiet moans, which only became louder as he began to flick his thumb over her other nipple, his mouth moving to catch the one before him, delivering a sweet, sucking kiss before he grazed it lightly with his teeth. Her back arched against him, pressing the soft mounds further against him, and he answered her with a twirl of the tongue on the very edge of the pert nipple, releasing it once or twice to blow cool air over it and delight at her reaction. His other hand continued to softly knead her breasts, his thumb and forefinger catching the nub of flesh and rolling it gently, barely tugging on it in mimicry of what he was doing with his mouth.

When she groaned and slid her hands down his as she lowered the kimono from his shoulders, he debated abandoning the warm breast his hand rested on in order to be free to her touch, no cloth between their upper bodies. The idea proved too tempting, and Inuyasha released her long enough to let the garment fall to his waist, where it was tucked into the billowy pants, and covered her naked breast with his mouth as his other hand came free of his sleeve and moved to rest on the silky mound he had just moved his mouth from, her nipple still wet with his saliva.

Inuyasha sucked slightly harder on her nipple as he took the newly unoccupied hand and moved it down to her skirt, where he knew she would be wearing her panties beneath them. At first, he didn't even slide his hand into her skirt, merely pressed it against the green cloth and moved it slowly, the tips of his fingers just skimming along the hem and against the thin undergarment.

Kagome moaned and dropped her hands down to his own nipples, knowing that while his probably wouldn't be as responsive or sensitive, they would still be sensitive enough. She flicked both her thumbs over the tiny nubs that made up his nipples, and he moaned softly against her skin at the new and unexpected touch. Of course, this also just aroused him more, and encouraged him to remove the skirt that now was blocking him more than anything else. He slid his mouth to the underside of her breast, nipping and licking at the warm skin there as she clung to him, and dropped his hand to join his other in her teasing, using one to work with the clasp on her skirt while he used the other to find the seam of her panties and use it against her, maneuvering the tiny ridge of cloth against her clit, basking in the tight grip she now had on his shoulders as her hips moved up to meet his hand with a startled cry.

With a small smile, he rested his left hand on her lower back, his fingertips inching their way under her panties until the were just brushing against the soft skin of her rear, and using the position to push her harder into his other hand, which was repeatedly moving that same inseam over and over against the bundle of nerves, causing Kagome to groan and thrust against his fingers. When she did, though, a soft moan was torn from his lips and he moved his hand from her rear to take her other hand and place it on the bulge in his hakama, which showed her how much he needed her then. Her small hand tried to wrap around him through the clothing separating them, and whimpered in frustration when she couldn't get a good grip. This made Inuyasha smirk as he remembered her promise to be in control this time.

If he had his way, she wouldn't even remember what control was tonight.
