InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Close Encounters Of The Fluffy Kind ❯ The Rules Of Engagement ( Chapter 6 )

Sundown came and was greeted by the howls of several wolf demons. Kagome and Ayame stood together, both content in their newfound friendship and unwilling to be separated from the other. Both had a feeling that they were going to need the other's support.

 

Sesshomaru stood before the elder, his face not revealing his desire to walk over to Kagome and take her away from prying eyes. His need to fuck was unbearable, but the need to kill his competition was greater. This Derk, the wolf who had dared to challenge him for Kagome, would not walk away from this fight without a serious injury. Sesshomaru smirked. This was going to be fun.

 

Kagome saw the look on Sesshomaru's face. “Uh-oh.” She muttered. Ayame turned to look at the miko. “What's wrong?” She asked.

 

Kagome nodded over to Sesshomaru. “He is grinning and that means that there is about to be a lot of blood.” She explained, knowing full well that she was correct.

 

Ayame's eyes grew wide. She could only hope that her brother did not push his luck with the demon lord, or else she would be short a sibling. Her green eyes traveled over the other contestants, and she found herself looking at the bright blue eyes of Kouga. He was starting at her, and gave her a smile when she looked at him. She quickly averted her eyes and looked down. She could not understand why he even pushed his right to mate her. He had many times told her that he did not like her, nor did he care about her. So, why the sudden change of heart? Unless it was a cruel trick. She glanced up when she caught movement in the corner of her eyes. Sanya and Derk were both making their way to stand in front of the elder. She quickly pulled on Kagome's arm and led her to where her grandfather stood.

 

The elder was very aware that his granddaughter and the miko had grown close in the short few hours, and once a wolf forged a relationship with another, it was hard to break. So, the elder had no choice, he would claim Kagome as his responsibility. It was only right. From what he understood, she did not have a proper guardian, and so, he would gladly take that honor. He watched as his granddaughter and the miko came closer and he held out his hands to both females. He looked down at Kagome and whispered, “Since you do not have a guardian to agree to this battle for the right to mate you, I will be stepping in as your guardian. Do you accept?”

 

Kagome nodded. She watched as the elder smiled at her and said, “Now, I have two beautiful young women to sit beside me and watch the festivities. There is no luckier male than I.”

 

Kagome giggled as Ayame rolled her eyes. The elder stepped forward and let loose a loud howl, telling everyone to be quiet. When there was complete silence, the elder said, “Tonight, we will feast and be entertained as we watch our young warriors fight for supremacy within their packs. But, as an added attraction, we will have a battle involving Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands and Kouga, Lord of the Eastern Lands. They will fight Sanya, Lord of the Southern Lands and Derk, heir to the Northern lands. This battle will decide who will get to mate Princess Ayame and Lady Kagome. As their guardian, I have the right to decide on how this battle will be fought, so to make things interesting, I have made my decision. Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Kouga will team up against Lord Sanya and Prince Derk. The first battle will be between Lord Sesshomaru and Prince Derk. The winner will wait to see the outcome of Lord Kouga and Lord Sanya's battle. Should Lord Derk be defeated by Lord Sesshomaru, and Lord Kouga be defeated by Lord Sanya, Lord Sesshomaru will fight Lord Sanya. The victor of that match will decide to whom these two enchanting creatures will be with. So, you see…even if he wins against Prince Derk, Lord Sesshomaru can still lose his claim to Lady Kagome should he loose to Lord Sanya.”

 

Sesshomaru glared up at the elder for even thinking that a lowly wolf could ever defeat him. He fought the urge to growl when he heard that baka Prince Derk boast that he did not need to worry, that he and Lord Sanya were two of the best fighters within the wolf packs. Sesshomaru snorted at the young wolf's confidence and then flexed his claws. Yes, they were in need of a good workout.

 

Kouga walked over to Sesshomaru and looked up at the demon lord. Sesshomaru never looked down, but said, “Should you cause me to lose my woman, I will yank out your guts and use them as a jump rope.”

 

Kouga gulped and nodded. He knew that he had the better partner, but he would not lose to Sanya. Ayame was too important to him to let her go off with that cocky bastard. He glanced over at the young princess and watched as she and Kagome laugh, obviously enjoying some sort of joke. Both females looked beautiful and Kouga nodded in approval of Ayame's choice of attire. She had changed from her normal fur and armor and now wore a pure white kimono with a blue obi. Kouga's eyes shifted over to Kagome and she, too, looked stunning in a white and green kimono with a green obi. It was clear by the scent of arousal that Sesshomaru was emitting that he, too, liked what the miko wore. Together, the two males watched as their competition moved forward to speak with the females. Kouga watched with narrowed eyes as Sanya reached up and took Ayame's hand. Derk had also taken Kagome's hand, but was now stroking the soft skin while he spoke to her. Kouga jumped when he heard Sesshomaru's growls grow to be more vicious. Suddenly, Sesshomaru launched himself towards Derk and slammed the wolf into the ground.

 

“You have not won yet, wolf. Keep your hands off of my female.” Sesshomaru growled, his eyes flickering from gold to red.

 

The elder chuckled. “So, I see that you are anxious to fight, Lord Sesshomaru. Well, your wait is over. Clear the area. The first battle is about to begin. Lord Sesshomaru and Prince Derk, take your places in the middle and you will start when I lower my arm.” He announced, his eyes dancing with excitement.

 

Sesshomaru let Derk up and made his way to the center of what was to be used as the battleground. He had been informed earlier that he could not use his swords nor could he wear his armor, so here he stood, shirtless, armor less, and weaponless. Now, all he had to do was teach that fool exactly who was boss.

 

Derk stood up and brushed himself off. Like Sesshomaru, he was shirtless, and he smirked at all of the comments that the females made about his body, however, there was only one female that he cared to impress. With a wink at Kagome, he boldly walked toward Sesshomaru. When they stood facing each other, the elder quickly lowered his arm, and thus starting the first battle.

 

Sesshomaru was not impressed with Derk's fighting abilities. In fact, they were pretty weak. So, Sesshomaru allowed him to swing at him a few times, but finally grew tired of the little game. Snaking his arm out, he grabbed the wolf by the throat and lifted him into the air. The wolf seemed shocked that his opponent had such strength, but kept trying to wiggle out of his grasp. However, the only thing his wiggling did was cause Sesshomaru to tighten his grip upon his neck, finally causing the wolf to pass out from lack of air.

 

Disgusted with how quickly the wolf was defeated, Sesshomaru flung his unconscious body to the ground and growled, “He is through. He can't fight me when he is unconscious.”

 

The elder had to agree. “Lord Sesshomaru is the victor. Congratulations, my lord.” He said, bowing slightly at the miffed lord.

 

Sesshomaru nodded, and then glanced over at Kouga. The wolf demon was glaring at Sanya, who kept making eyes at Ayame. Finally, Derk was picked up and hauled out of the battle area. The elder informed the spectators that the battle between Kouga and Sanya would happen within the hour, and for both males to prepare themselves.

 

Kouga gave an aggravated sigh. He looked over at Ayame, who had started to walk back to her private den. He needed to tell her how he felt before he went into this battle. He could no longer bear the thought that she believed that he hated her. He followed the princess and soon found himself at the entrance to her den. With a deep breath, Kouga walked inside and had to smile at Ayame's choice in furnishings. She was clearly devoted to her white wolf tribe. Almost everything was covered in white and even her bed had a large white fur upon it. He saw the princess bending over, looking for something, and he decided that now would be the perfect time to speak with her.

 

Clearing his throat, Kouga called out, “Ayame?” He watched as she jumped and backed up a bit to allow herself to stand up straight. She looked over at him, and then looked down.

 

“What are you doing here, Kouga? Shouldn't you be getting ready to fight Sanya?” She asked, her voice quiet.

 

Kouga stepped forward. “I have something more important to do. I need to tell you something, and I don't want to be interrupted. Ayame, I am sorry for how I have treated you, and I am well aware that you have suffered because of me, but I am not letting you go without a fight. I have given up my claim on Kagome willingly, and I am pushing my claim on you because I don't want to go another day without you by my side.” He said, his hands clenched at his side, trying not to reach out and grab the woman before him. How he wanted to feel her pressed up against his body. He reached out and firmly took hold of her upper arm and quickly brought her to him. Without a word between them, he lowered his head and allowed his lips to gently stroke hers. He had felt her struggles, but those quickly stopped when he parted her lips with his tongue. Together, they stood in an embrace for what seemed like an eternity, making love with their mouths. However, they were interrupted when they heard a nervous giggle.

 

Breaking away, Ayame looked at the entrance of her den and saw Kagome standing there, her face crimson with embarrassment.

 

Clearing her throat, Kagome said, “Ayame, your grandfather wants us at his side, and he told me to tell Kouga that it is his turn to fight.”

 

Kouga nodded and then looked down at Ayame. Her face told him that she was stunned by his kiss and he had to admit that he, too, was surprised. Kissing her made him feel things that he had only dreamed that he would feel with Kagome, but here he was and now he knew for sure that Ayame was the perfect choice for him.

 

Stepping back, Kouga gave Ayame a wink. “It's time for me to put Sanya in his place. We'll talk after the fight.” He said, confident in his prowess as a fighter.

 

Ayame could only nod and watched as he walked away from her, stopping to pat Kagome's shoulder before he left her den. Ayame glanced over at Kagome, whose grin spread from ear to ear.

 

“Ayame's got a boyfriend, Ayame's got a boyfriend.” She sang, knowing full well that it would irritate Ayame. Sure enough, Ayame snapped her fangs playfully at Kagome and growled, “Shut up.”

 

Both females rushed out of the den and to Ayame's grandfather's side. He looked pleased that his granddaughter appeared to be a bit happier, and he had to wonder if Kouga had anything to do with her sudden change of disposition. He shook his head and called for Sanya and Kouga to enter the battle area. Both males faced each other, and growled. The elder held up his hand, and quickly lowered it. It was time to rumble.

 

Kouga was the first to strike and he quickly got Sanya off balance. The opposing wolf fell to his back, but was able to roll away quickly and get back upon his feet. Both wolves rushed at each other, their claws gleaming and fangs lengthening. Soon, they met and each male drew blood from the other. However, Kouga quickly brought up his knee into Sanya's stomach and delivered a blow that knocked a lot of the fight out of the other lord. Smirking, Kouga rushed towards his opponent, confident that his victory was now assured, but quickly fell to the ground when a knife embedded itself into his thigh.

 

The elder snapped his eyes up at the one who dared interfere with the battle. Derk stood a few feet away, his face dark with anger. It was clear that Derk was still angry over losing to Sesshomaru and when he had seen his partner fall, the prospect of losing the chance to be with the miko was too great for him. He had pulled out his knife and flung it at Kouga, hoping to hurt him enough that would allow Sanya to obtain a victory.

 

The elder called for the battle to stop. He glared at Derk and ordered that the male be held for punishment. He approached Kouga and surveyed the damage. The knife wound was deep and it was clear that Kouga would not be able to continue the fight. In the background, Derk was heard saying that if Kouga could not continue, then Sanya won by default.

 

Kouga struggled to get up, but the pain in his leg was too great. He had nearly done it. He had nearly won his mate. He closed his eyes as the humiliation of losing swept over him. When a soft hand fell upon his cheek, Kouga's eyes opened and he saw Ayame staring down at him.

 

“I'm sorry, Ayame. This is the latest in a long line of disappointments that I have given to you. I really do want to be your mate, but it looks like Sanya has taken the victory by default.” Kouga said, softly.

 

Ayame felt her eyes fill with tears. She bent over and kissed his cheek. “You did not lose, Kouga. You were cheated because Derk got upset that you were winning. To me, you are already the winner.” She said, stroking the hair out of his eyes. He smiled up at her, and then saw Sesshomaru approach. He could just bet that the demon lord would attempt to carry out his small threat from earlier. However, Sesshomaru stood in front of the elder and said, “The battle should not count. There was an outside interference and therefore, the results should be that because of that interference, the battle will continue with different fighters. Since my partner cannot continue, I will step in for him. And since Lord Sanya is unable to fight, I would suggest letting his partner fight for him, seeing as how he is the one who caused the disruption. But, I will not allow him to leave the battle area alive. He dies today, no matter what.”

 

The elder stared at the demon lord and then over at Derk. Derk had dishonored himself and would eventually be killed for butting into the battle. So, why not allow the demon lord to fight him. Nodding, the elder motioned for his people to help Kouga and Sanya from the battle area.

 

Sanya knew that his chances of mating Ayame were gone. It was clear that she loved Kouga despite everything he had done to her. He sighed, and then sat back to watch the blood bath. It was about to get messy.

 

Derk was pushed into the battle area and he glanced over at Kagome. It angered him to know that she wanted the demon lord. His tail snapped around wildly and he glanced over at Sesshomaru. The demon lord was examining his claws, taking the time to sharpen any dull points. He obviously wanted them nice and sharp when they met with Derk's skin.

 

Derk knew that if he could get the demon lord angry enough, he would wind up losing his concentration and make some very crucial mistakes, so Derk decided to provoke him.

 

“It really is a shame, Sesshomaru. Once I kill you, I will have the extreme pleasure of fucking the little miko until she passes out from exhaustion. I will probably be the better lover, and I will make sure that you are nothing but an unpleasant memory to her. I am sure that with my youth and stamina, she will find greater pleasure with me, seeing as how you are so ancient.” Derk said, grinning as he saw the demon lord straighten up. Sesshomaru looked over at him, but then looked away. Obviously, that was not working, so why not try something else to get his anger pumping?

 

Glancing up at Kagome, he saw his chance and grabbed her. He slammed his mouth upon hers and engaged her in a kiss. He heard the gasps from the crowd and then heard Sesshomaru's vicious snarls. He broke the kiss and felt the miko struggle beneath him. Derk looked up and grinned. His plan had worked. Sesshomaru was highly pissed. Derk allowed Kagome to leave his arms and he stood before the demon lord and smirked.

 

“What's the matter, Sesshomaru? It seemed as though the miko was very pleased with the kiss that I bestowed upon her.” He said, his smirk getting wider by the second.

 

“Is that so, wolf? Then, tell me. Why does she look so angry and upset?” Sesshomaru asked, his eyes flickering between red and gold. He watched as the wolf glanced behind him to look at Kagome and took that opportunity to rush at the wolf. Fuck the elder, the battle started now.

 

Derk never knew what hit him. Sesshomaru had moved so fast that he never even noticed that the demon lord was coming straight at him. When the blow hit, Derk was sent flying and found himself on the ground; face first, ass up. He groaned in agony, and scowled when he heard the other wolves laughing. Oh, they would pay for laughing at him. He got up and glared at Sesshomaru.

 

“Is that the best you got, old man?” He asked, his eyes narrowing. His eyes widened when he saw the demon lord shrug. “For you, its enough.” He said, his boredom very noticeable.

 

Derk screamed is outrage and flew at Sesshomaru, only to find that yet, again, the demon lord moved and was now standing behind him. Strong, sure fingers gripped the young wolf's neck and his eyes widened in fear. “Never again will you touch what belongs to this Sesshomaru. Prepare yourself, wolf.” Sesshomaru whispered, and with a sudden twist, Derk's life ended as his neck snapped in two.

 

Sesshomaru released the wolf and watched as his lifeless form collapsed onto the ground. He looked up at the elder and said, “Prince Kouga and I have won this battle. Give us what rightfully belongs to us.”

 

The elder nodded, and motioned for Kagome to go to Sesshomaru. She looked over and found Ayame sitting down with Kouga's head in her lap. It was clear that they did not want to be disturbed. Kagome looked up when she felt an arm wrap around her waist. Sesshomaru hoisted her up and walked out of the battle area with her, and then went over to a rock. He sat down and pressed his lips to hers. His tongue bathed her mouth, and Kagome found herself breathless and yearning for his touch. When he broke away, he pulled back and looked at her sternly.

 

“From this point on, I will be traveling with you. Your ability to attract a male's attention is annoying and I won't have any other male sniffing around what belongs to me.” He said, his tone telling her that there would be no argument. He leaned forward and took in a long sniff.

 

“You will need to bathe before we leave this place. You smell like that wolf and I won't allow you to smell like any one but me.” He said, lifting her up and placing her on her feet. Grasping her hand, he led her over to where Sango and Miroku stood and took Kagome's pack from them. He growled at his brother, but then turned and walked over to the elder and demanded to know where the hot springs were. After he got the information he wanted, he led Kagome down to the hot spring and issued a warning growl to those around that if they dared to disturb his and Kagome, they would meet the same fate that Derk did. The wolves quickly backed off and got the hell out of Sesshomaru's way.

 

Once they were at the spring, Sesshomaru's claws ripped through the material that kept Kagome's body from his view. After the fighting and bloodshed, his body was in need of pampering and he needed to release some pent up tension. He looked down at her and then said, “Undress me.”

 

Kagome stared up at him in confusion, but did as she was told. She untied his obi and flung it down to the ground. His haori followed and then finally, his hakama dropped to the ground. The demon lord stood before her, his erect cock telling her that it needed her attentions. Without a second thought, Kagome lowered herself to her knees and took his cock into her mouth. She heard him groan and felt his hands dive into her hair, pulling her closer and seating himself further within her mouth. As she licked and sucked, his groans turned into growls and she delighted in the way he would whimper when she would nibble down upon the head of his member. Finally, he was able to gain enough control to pull her away from his cock and lift her to her feet. He led her into the hot spring and lowered himself into the hot water. He glanced up at her and watched as she reached over and opened her pack. She pulled out several bottles and a cloth. He stood up and made his way over to her. She looked up at him and heard him say, “Wash me.”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes. But, she moved forward and asked, “Could you please dunk you head underwater? I need it to be wet so that I can wash it.”

 

He sighed, but did as she asked. When he came up, he felt her pour something into his hair. He closed his eyes as she worked the sweet smelling substance into his hair. He relaxed as she massaged all of the stresses that he had endured over the past few days away. When she pulled her hands away, she smiled at him and told him that he needed to rinse the soap out of his hair. Once he had complied, Kagome poured some soap onto her cloth and then waited until he stood up. He finally got the soap out of his hair and then stood before her, his golden eyes staring down at her. She slowly approached him, her fear of him having long ago departed. She placed the cloth upon the broad expanse of his chest and began to rub slowly. When she felt that she had cleaned his chest and stomach, she rounded behind him and began to wash his back, her eyes locked onto his backside. Grinning, she lowered the cloth onto the firm mounds and began to massage his rump.

 

Sesshomaru closed his eyes and allowed a smirk to form upon his lips. The little vixen was getting bolder. He felt her cloth leave his backside and he reached around and grabbed her arm. He brought her around so that she were facing him and then looked down at his cock. It, too, was in need of a washing. He brought his gaze back up to Kagome and noticed that a blush had settled across her lovely features. Finally, she reached out and brought the cloth down to his cock and began to stroke. He allowed a soft groan to escape his lips and found himself pumping in time with her strokes. When he came, he snarled his release and yanked Kagome into his arms. He held her as the small shocks that coursed through his body slowly began to ease up. Once he felt that he had a grip on himself, he released Kagome and lowered himself into the water. He glanced at her and then said, “Wash yourself and then we will go back to your group.” He could see the fury in Kagome's eyes, but she kept her mouth shut and quickly turned away from him. He would not tell her that until she had rid herself of that wolf's stench, he could not make love to her, but after she had washed, well, that was a different story. He watched as she washed her hair and body, then disappeared underneath the water. When she finally came back up, he walked over to her and bent down. The wolf smell was gone and he was pleased. Now, he could take her and enjoy himself.

 

With movements that made her head spin; Kagome found herself straddling Sesshomaru's hips. He wasted no time in plunging into her hot body, and allowed her no time to adjust. He needed to cover her in his own scent and knew that when he spilled his seed within her, it would deter males from approaching her, at least for the time being.

 

As they rocked together, Kagome closed her eyes and felt her body tighten as her release neared. When she climaxed, she threw back her head and screamed. Music to his ears. He growled when his seed shot forth and he could not help but feel glorified that the most powerful miko that he had ever encountered was his. His to protect, his to care for, his to fuck. He was now sure that he would never allow her to be with another male. Soon, he would replace the courting mark with a mating mark. His domination over his lands would finally be complete. He would have a powerful mate, and an heir that would one day surpass him in power. That was the dream of every male youkai and he had achieved the dream. He would be envied and he would enjoy throwing it in the other nobles' faces.

 

When they finally separated, he ordered Kagome to dress him. She was unaware that all of his orders had a purpose. He was training her in the ways to take care of him. She needed to act like his mate so when she became his mate, she would be used to caring for him. Once he was dressed, he watched as she pulled out a couple of the kimonos and he quickly told her to dress in the red kimono. It went well with his outfit and he wanted to let others know that she was taken in every single way. Dressing like him was just another way of showing his dominance over her.

 

Once they were dressed, he lifted the pack and offered her his arm. Once her arm was secure around his, he led her back to the festivities and found that many of the young males were now engaged in an all-out battle for dominance. The victors would have their pick of the single females and would mate them this night. Sesshomaru smirked. He had the best female on his arm and had already bedded his bitch to be. So, let's see…he had managed to threaten Prince Kouga, kill off his competition, though too bad that it was not Inu Yasha that had challenged him, got himself a blow job, had his hair and body washed by his beautiful mate, and finally, he had one hell of a fuck. Yes, this had been a good day.
