Chapter 9:

The sun is now high in the sky and Kagome still has not woken up from her slumber. She knew she was supposed to meet with Lord Sesshomaru to go into details with the 'mating,' but she made up her mind to have him wait longer than necessary. She went to sleep angry that night and thought it was time to push the demon lord's buttons the way he has pushed hers. Kagome was so deep in sleep that she did not hear the door swing open violently and close with a loud thud. As she moved over, she was now faced with the intruder.

"Wake up," the infiltrator demanded as he poked her in the stomach with his boot.

Kagome opened her eyes and looked at the trespasser, "oh, hi Sesshomaru," she announced sleepily as she closed her eyes once again and met dreamland.

He almost became enraged, but then a wicked idea came to mind. He picked Kagome up from her comfortable bed, and thrown her over his shoulder as if she were a sack of potatoes. With his demon speed, he approached the bathing area and dropped her into the hot spring. He smirked as he watched the miko jump up from the spring and spurt water everywhere.

"I do not like to be kept waiting. I will send you a servant," he said as he looked at a certain part of her body and continued, "so that you can get dressed and meet me in my study immediately," then walked out of the room with no other words to be said.

Glancing down at what the taiyoukai had just looked at, her face became as red as a cherry. She had just realized as she sprouted from the water, her nightgown fell from her shoulders and gave a great view of her perfect rounded breasts. "You jerk," she screamed. Just as she finished yelling profanities, she heard the door open. "Oh you arrogant son of a…oh hi," Kagome said awkwardly.

"H-Hi m-m-miko-sama," a fox demon addressed Kagome nervously, "I-I came to help you get ready."

Kagome noticed how nervous the beautiful fox demon was, so she decided to ease her nervousness. "Please don't call me miko-sama, Kagome will do just fine," she said softly as she patted the demoness hand lightly. "Could you tell me your name please?"

Hearing the Miko's concern startled the demoness, "A-Akahana, m-Kagome."

"Means red rose," Kagome asked.

"Yes. I was born with a red birthmark upon my left shoulder shaped like a rose, so hence my name Akahana."

"What a great name. Let's become friends," Kagome said cheerfully.

"Sure. I would love that very much, Kagome-sama," the demoness replied happily forgetting the nervous demeanor she once portrayed. 'She is not like other Miko's,' the demoness thought.

Smiling brightly as the fox became less nervous, "great! Now let's get ready before meanie pants comes back," the miko said with her nose scrunched up.

Giggling at the little strange name she called her lord, the fox demon happily help Kagome bathe and dress. As the demoness helped the miko with everything, they set off to visit Sesshomaru in his study with giggles echoing throughout the halls. They were unbeknownst that a certain demon lord heard every word that was transpired.

Realizing that they both were now in front of said destination, they quieted with haste and gently knocked on the door for entrance. As Kagome heard Sesshomaru's voice to enter, she bid the demoness a farewell as she walked inside.

As Kagome entered the room, she noticed the taiyoukai had a small smirk adorning his face. Becoming a little enraged, "what is so damn funny?"

Brow raised, "nothing 'my mate,'" he mocked with silent laughter.

Face flushed, "s-so why am I suddenly supposed to pretend to become your mate," Kagome asked.

"I have a meeting with the other lords regarding that fact, as they want me to finally take a mate. I do not have the time in finding one with this new journey ahead of us, and also running my castle at this time," he replied as he watched her expression change quickly from surprise to understanding. 'Her emotions change rather quickly,' he thought.

"Ok, so what does being your mate entail," she asked curiously.

"You have to present yourself with high stature and etiquette," he paused while looking her up and down, "which Akahana will help you in. You also have to stand on my left side at all times when in audience with the other lords. Be as cold and demanding when the time approaches. Before any of this can happen, I have to mark you as my intended to show you belong only to me, and no other shall touch you."

"Is that all? And how will you mark me?"

"As of the moment, that is what is important right now. When the other moments come to issue, then I will let you know what is to be done next," he replied with a full blown smirk. "The marking is done by me biting your neck on the junction between your neck and shoulder," he told her as he removed himself from the seat and walked towards her. Now behind her, he slowly leaned his head down to said part of her body and gently brushes his smooth, soft lips against her unmarred skin. He slid his tongue through his slightly parted lips and licked her neck very slowly. Before she could get a word out, he bit her neck and injected some of his venom and youki inside of her.

Once he pulled back, she gave a sigh of relief. "That didn't hurt as I expected," she said as she touched her now marked skin; feeling an arousal sensation by the soft touch, "when is this meeting going to take place," she asked while taking her hand from her junction and controlling her upcoming arousal.

"In two days' time," he said calmly.

"And you are j-…," but before she could finish she fell screaming in agony as she held her head.

'The marking should not have done this to her,' he thought as he caught her from her fall. "General Shippo," he growled loudly as he ran towards his bedchambers.

Athena and Ares have just arrived at the entrance of the underworld. There was no sight of Hades henchmen anywhere. Deep down Athena felt that something is amiss, but she just pushed it away as she formed a plan to destroy Hades. Glancing at The God of War she saw something that was not normal within his eyes. Keeping that thought for later use she turns to him.

"We are going to enter as quietly as possible; it seems that his henchmen are out looking for you," she whispered to him. "Since he is already hurt badly, I am sure I can hurt him even more and you finish the final blow. Can you handle that?"

"Yes, I can finish him off," Ares agreed. 'The plan is working. How easy to lure her here. First to deal with her and then my father,' he thought with an evil gleam within his dark orbs.

As they both agreed with Athena's plan; they entered the underworld very cautiously. The world was filled with death and lost souls swarming over their heads. In order to get to Hades throne room, Athena and Ares have to quietly pass The God of the Underworld's three headed dog, Cerberus. The hellhound is a viscous creature that guards the gates of the Underworld for Hades, letting no one enter or exit without his master's orders. Little did Athena know that the three headed beast had a command to let both her and Ares in. The goddess only thought that they could enter because Hades was somewhat weak.

As they both passed the watchdog, Athena looks around to notice Hades is nowhere in sight. "Where is he?" Athena asked out loud, but noticed Ares left her alone.

"Right behind you," Hades answered her as he back handed her throwing her across the room. As he heard the loud thud, he charged towards the goddess with his staff pointed towards her. As he was about to impale his weapon into her torso, she blocked the blow with her golden bow. Athena pushed her weapon forward to throw Hades off and kicked him in his abdomen.

"He set me up," Athena roared with her bell like voice as she watched The Underworld God stumble back a few steps. "I will destroy you Hades, and then I will come for Ares," she fumed as she plucked an arrow from her quiver aiming it at Hades heart. As she pulled the arrow to shoot it, she noticed her powers were fading quickly. "What have you done to me," the goddess shouted falling to her knees on the ground. She was only met by hysterical laughter.

"You see my dear goddess, even if you do not use your powers against me," he paused as he walked up to her, "one touch from your weapon to my staff can weaken you, and then I can imprison you just as I imprisoned the others." He said as he grabbed her throat and held her high in the air, "pity it only works with weak gods and goddesses as you." Throwing her as if she was a rag doll, her back hit the wall. Before she could get up once again, he absorbed her and her weapons into his artifacts.

Kagome was lying in Sesshomaru's bed thrashing about screaming in pain. Every time someone other than the demon lord touched Kagome they would get shocked with purification powers. When Shippo looked at Kagome's neck he had seen a mating mark adorning her perfect, rosy skin.

"You marked her as your intended," Shippo half yelled shockingly and angrily.

"General, what I do is none of your concern. Watch your tone before I rip your tongue from your mouth," Sesshomaru bellowed with much authority. As the taiyoukai was about to lunge toward Shippo, he stopped at what he next heard.

"HIS AURA, HIS AURA IS SO BLACK; SO EVIL," Kagome screamed and then went completely limp.
