Chapter Seven
_________________________________________
Kagome blinked, the world seeming to be quickly moving with frightening speed. Feeling herself slung over a shoulder rather rudely, she felt the urge to vomit increase as the armor on the shoulder dug into her stomach. Grabbing tightly onto the brown fur skirt near her face, the priestess screamed as the demon leapt off a cliff and began soaring through the air. Looking down at the black abyss of the bottomless hole they were leaping over, Kagome stared wide-eyed in horror at the gaping death pool.
'O Kami...' she thought as she repressed the urge to vomit again.
Feeling them land harshly on the opposite side of the canyon, the shoulder yet again digging into her stomach, Kagome glared at the very familiar brown-fur covered legs that sped through the land and helped carry her away. Growling, Kagome felt her famous patience evaporate. She had had it up to here with life. She was sick and tired of being kidnapped and no one listening to her. She was exhausted with this entire global perception of her only being good as a hostage or some sort of amusement to annoy and use.
'Well not anymore!' she shouted in her mind.
Her blue eyes spitting daggers, Kagome fisted her hands tightly and started punching the armored back and skirt-covered butt of her kidnapper.
"Kouga! Put me down right now! Stop this before I really get mad!" she screamed, her voice somehow managing to be heard over the howling wind.
The male glanced at his woman with amusement, his icy blue eyes sparkling with humor. "As you wish koi." he purred.
Turning his eyes back to the woods, the wolf-demon then dug his white-bandaged feet into the ground, ceasing his incredible flight. Kagome held her hand over her mouth, repressing her vomit for the third time as she felt the shoulder really begin to penetrate her stomach. Feeling them slow to a stop, Kagome screamed when she was thrown into the air and then caught by two muscular arms. Shaking and tired, Kagome looked up into Kouga's smiling face. Feeling a blush staining her cheeks, the girl glared at the wolf youkai furiously and yelled,
"Just what do you think you're doing?!" she hissed.
Kouga blinked at the rage on Kagome's face. Deciding she was still a bit winded from their quick escape from the annoying half-breed he called 'Inu-koru', he smiled roguishly at her and ignored her furious glare.
"I decided it was time for me to see my woman of course. You really think I was going to leave you with Inu-koru for much longer?"
Kagome sighed as the 'your-my-woman' talk began. She had lost the bet to Sango. She had betted Kouga would at least wait a minute after kidnapping her while Sango had betted half a minute.
'There goes a new bar of soap to Sango.' she thought wistfully.
Sighing, Kagome extracted herself from her thoughts and settled on notifying Kouga again she was not his in any sense.
"Kouga how many times do I have to tell you I am not your woman?" she demanded.
Kouga smiled innocently at her and hugged her closer to her chest, oblivious to the fact the girl was losing her ability to breathe because of the strength of his hug.
"Ah Kagome! You do not have to pretend anymore! Inu-koru not here! You don't have to worry about his feelings." he said.
Bringing the human priestess before his blue eyes, he smiled. "Kagome my love! I have-”
"Kouga when are you going to stop kidnapping me? Can't you just visit us at our camp?" Kagome interrupted angrily, her sapphire eyes pinning the wolf youkai.
Kouga frowned. Standing haughtily, he crossed his arms over his armored chest, his brow furrowed. "And put up with the stench of Inu-koru? When I want to see you I want to be alone with you. I don't want a stupid hanyou hovering over me and my woman." the wolf snorted.
The girl groaned. "Kouga can't you just call me Kagome for the last time?" she sighed. Shaking her head, she looked at him in exasperation. He was truly the most deft, arrogant and thick-headed person other then InuYasha she had ever met. Kagome looked down at the ground, noticing she was still being held in Kouga's arm. She poked him in the chest and looked up at him dryly.
"Can you now put me down now?"
Kouga frowned at the thought of not holding Kagome [he did enjoy having her knees slung over his arm and his other arm supporting her small back] but did as she asked. Settling her on her feet, he watched her pick out random leaves and twigs from her messed up hair. Her brow furrowed, Kagome scowled at the wolf youkai and clicked her tongue in agitation. Her hair was a mess now because of Sir Deaf-A-Lot here. It would seem she would need another bath.
'Does that mean I'll have to give Sesshoumaru one too while I'm at it?' she suddenly thought.
Feeling a strange sense of excitement at that thought, Kagome tried to restrain the blush creeping on her skin. Why did she have to be so damn modest? Ignoring Kouga, Kagome focused on patting the dust off of her green skirt and straightening her shirt. Done with her cleaning, Kagome flipped her hair behind her shoulder, placed her hands firmly on her flared hips and fixed the demon with a mean gaze.
"Kouga you will now return me to my group immediately. You have caused enough trouble for one day." she ordered firmly.
Kouga looked at the human. Kami she was beautiful when she was angry. Her sapphire eyes, large and bright, her long black hair swaying in the wind behind her, her creamy skin pinking on her cheeks...
Kouga stared at those tempting lips, not paying attention to the girl's rant. He was too occupied with the thought of kissing those full coral-pink lips then actually paying attention to anything else. Mesmerized, Kouga stepped forward and ignoring Kagome's demands for him to let go, pulled her forward and covered her mouth with his. Closing his eyes and ignoring her butterfly-soft hits on his chest [he couldn't tell she was actually trying to hurt him], Kouga ran his tongue across those full lips, enjoying the soft plumpness of the pink-tinted flesh that had tormented him for years.
Kagome stiffened as soon as his lips covered hers and began punching Kouga as hard as she could, her eyes sparkling with fury. She had wanted to be nice but the asshole just ignored her and now look what he did! He was practically molesting her! Feeling his hand grope her breast through her shirt, Kagome gasped in anger and instantly regretted doing so. The moment she gasped it allowed entrance into her mouth for Kouga's hot, long tongue. Squealing at this oral molestation [she'd even call it rape later], Kagome froze when she felt a dangerously powerful aura behind them fill the area. Feeling Kouga loosen his grip on her, Kagome pushed herself away from the wolf to see a furious, red-tinted eyed Sesshoumaru standing two feet from them, his amber/red eyes fixated on Kouga.
"Sesshoumaru?" she stammered in shock.
Kouga scowled at Kagome. "Sesshoumaru? Who the fuck is Sesshoumaru?" he demanded.
Kagome glanced at Kouga, mentally wishing he would shut up. Could the idiot not see the state the taiyoukai was in? Turning her gaze back to Sesshoumaru, Kagome felt her throat tighten at the ferocious beauty the demon portrayed at this moment. His silver-white hair hung behind his shoulders neatly and his pale skin was flawless. His stripes had become more pronounced and darker in color, no longer a light magenta but almost a ruby red.
His eyes...
O Kami his eyes were tinted red along the edges of them, the once cool amber now a molten gold. Watching his pale lips part into a sneer, she trembled when she heard
Sesshoumaru growl,
"Release her."
Kouga frowned and crossed his arms over his chest. Eyeing the furious demon [and stupidly ignoring his dangerous amount of youki energy that gave a hint to his power] Kouga scowled at the pale demon.
"Sesshoumaru? Wait... I know you! Aren't you the hanyou's half-brother?" he demanded rudely.
Seeing the demon glare at him, Kouga sneered. "What the Hell do you want with my woman?"
Kagome mentally groaned. 'Why does he have to be so stupid?!' she screamed inside. Glaring at Kouga, she stepped in front of the ookami and gave him a severe look.
"Kouga I am not your woman! Now let me go back with Sesshoumaru-"
"No you're my woman Kagome. And this inu asshole is starting to really piss me off. He reminds me off that dirty hanyou." Kouga interrupted.
Sesshoumaru's eyes slanted furiously. "You have taken a priestess under my protection against her will, wolf. You have now dishonored this Sesshoumaru by mentioning any sort of family tie to the hanyou. You will pay for your stupidity." he snarled, his pale upper lip curling to reveal his white, pointy tipped fangs.
Kouga blinked, apparently confused. "Underneath your protection? Kagome?" He turned and gave her a questioning glance.
Kagome smiled nervously, feeling the sweat being to drip down her back. The death-promise was obvious in Sesshoumaru's eyes. She did not doubt for a moment that the taiyoukai could kill Kouga even without his only arm. Stepping forward,
her hands raised, the girl tried to give both men a placating grin and tried to appear upbeat.
"Okay since I'm here... safe and sound... and this is getting really uncomfortable, how about Sesshoumaru and me go back to camp and you go back to your lands Kouga-kun?" she proposed, hopeful that both males would agree.
Kouga snorted, his icy eyes fixed on Sesshoumaru. "Kagome do you have something for Inu bastards? Or is it some sort of fascination for silver-hair inu-koru?" he demanded haughtily. Kouga turned and gave Sesshoumaru a scornful look then a smirk to the silent demon. "First your brother now you Sesshoumaru-sama? Second best for the miko?"
Kagome gaped at Kouga in horror.
'O my God... Dead... so dead. Annihilated in fact.'
Sesshoumaru snarled his eyes now almost completely red. "You are dead, ookami. I was going to settle for simply removing a few limbs but I will now watch you die." He promised icily, his eyes flashing.
Kouga glared at Sesshoumaru haughtily. "O ya?” Kouga looked to Sesshoumaru''s bandaged arm and armless sleeve. “I see." he said in a mocking, bored fashion. The wolf then smirked. "Well good luck with that 'taiyoukai'. You have no arms and no weapon. Try me if you dare!"
Sesshoumaru glared at the youkai and smirked dangerously. "You have made your death bed, foolish wolf." he murmured his voice silkily dangerous.
Kagome watched in stunned silence as Sesshoumaru literally vanished before her eyes. One moment he was standing before them looking like he was going to decapitate Kouga on the spot by just looking at him and then as soon as she blinked [her eyes were getting dry from not blinking] the taiyoukai had disappeared. Hearing a scream, Kagome yelped when Kouga flew by her and slammed into a tree. Looking at the sprawled youkai, she 'eeped' and dove into the nearby bushes. She could not intervene in this fight; Sesshoumaru was way too pissed. Growling, Kouga forced himself up from the ground. Groaning, he cupped his head and pulled back his claws to see blood. Hissing in fury, the ookami felt the long cut on his forehead where he had hit the tree.

Hissing in fury, the ookami felt the long cut on his forehead where he had hit the tree.
His icy blue eyes now almost sapphire-blue with his sparked anger, the wolf demon threw himself up form the ground and landed on his feet. Panting, he glared at the serene appearing Sesshoumaru who looked as if he had not moved at all. Kouga's upper lip curled in disdain.
“You're dead now!” he shouted and sprinted towards Sesshoumaru.
Kagome watched wide-eyed as Kouga flew towards Sesshoumaru, a trail of dust and rock behind him as he speeded towards the demon Lord.
“Kouga! Stop!” she yelled, concerned about Sesshoumaru's injuries.
Both men ignored the girl and Kouga continued to quickly make his way towards the demon. His eyes fixed on the pillar of white that was his opponent, Kouga smirked as he focused some youki in his fist, causing the tightly clenched hand to glow blue. The added power of his youki in his punch would be enough to make that bastard really fly. Sesshoumaru watched Kouga make his way to him. Smirking slightly, Sesshoumaru readied for his attack. Waiting until the demon was a foot beside him he noted the glowing blue fist of the demon and mentally scorned the demon. What a crude, obvious tactic; he was apparently wasting his time with this ookami.
Dodging to the side, Sesshoumaru elegantly side-stepped the wolf's flailing fists, growing annoyed as the demon shouted curses and taunts when he grew frustrated when he continued to hit nothing but air. Sesshoumaru stopped his dodging and all together disappeared, leaving a panted, enraged Kouga standing in the middle of the clearing. His left eye twitching because of his fury, Kouga fisted his hands and screamed,
"You bastard! Come out!”
Suddenly, Sesshoumaru appeared Kouga, his amber eyes two frozen pools of golden ice. His pale face emotionless, Sesshoumaru bent forward and his lips but a hair's breath away from touching the wolf's ear, he whispered,
“Pathetic.”
Kouga stiffened and swiftly turned. As soon as he turned, Sesshoumaru's long leg shot out in a white flash and kicked him in the face, causing him to fly backwards due to the force of the powerful kick. Flying through the air, a few drops of blood landing on the dirt underneath him, Kouga crashed through five trees, the broken trunks lying on the ground, marking his path of flight. Kagome stood on her feet immediately, shocked.
'Wow.' she thought to herself.
In the midst of broken branches, trunks and leaves, Kouga on top of a large branch, numerous cuts, bleeding scratches and bruises on his tanned flesh. Grunting, the demon began to push himself up on his elbows shakily from the debris only to feel a heavy weight pin him to the ground. Groaning as the heavy weight began to crush his ribcage underneath his powerful strength; he opened his eyes and instantly regretted it. Above him, Sesshoumaru stood, his black-silk covered foot pinning him to the ground efficiently. Kouga assessed the demon in hatred. Not a single strand of platinum hair was out of its place, not a drop of sweat or even a speckle of dirt on the demon's immaculate white outfit. Those frozen amber eyes flickered with mockery, making the wolf grimace at his complete defeat.
“You're dead now!” he shouted and sprinted towards Sesshoumaru.
Kagome watched wide-eyed as Kouga flew towards Sesshoumaru, a trail of dust and rock behind him as he speeded towards the demon Lord.
“Kouga! Stop!” she yelled, concerned about Sesshoumaru's injuries.
Both men ignored the girl and Kouga continued to quickly make his way towards the demon.

Not a single strand of platinum hair was out of its place, not a drop of sweat or even a speckle of dirt on the demon's immaculate white outfit. Those frozen amber eyes flickered with mockery, making the wolf grimace at his complete defeat.
Staring up into that stoic mask, he watched furiously as those pale lips parted and said,
“Surrender.”
Kouga growled. “Never! Die!” he screamed, his fury causing a rush of adrenaline in his body.
Managing to push Sesshoumaru's foot form his chest, Kouga stood up quickly. The sudden spurt of energy from the wolf had surprised Sesshoumaru who had assumed his instant victory over the seemingly done-for demon. Kouga turned to Sesshoumaru, death firing in his icy blue eyes.
"Pathetic this!" he yelled as he jumped into the air, his foot straight out as he prepared to perform his youkai kick.
Sesshoumaru glared at the foot and easily disappeared before the youkai's eyes just before the foot could hit him. Looking around in confusion, Kouga yelped in surprise as Sesshoumaru appeared behind him again. His speed was incredible. Sesshoumaru's white hakama left leg shot out and tripped Kouga onto the ground again. Swearing and cursing colorfully, Kouga rolled to the side and hurriedly jumped from the ground, his fangs digging into his bottom lip as he clenched his teeth.
"Sesshoumaru... Please... sto-" She began only to be interrupted by Kouga.
Hearing the miko call for him, Sesshoumaru glanced at Kagome and noted her fatigued appearance. A fist made its move towards him, alarming the demon. Breaking his gaze from the girl, Sesshoumaru sidestepped Kouga's attack again, his white-silver hair trailing behind him. The wolf was snarling now and made a sloppy swipe of his claws only to have Sesshoumaru fly past him, his hair touching the infuriated wolf's cheek.
Landing noiselessly on the ground a few feet from the ookami, Sesshoumaru stared at him coldly.
Kouga growled. “Never! Die!” he screamed, his fury causing a rush of adrenaline in his body.

"Sesshoumaru... Please... sto-" She began only to be interrupted by Kouga.
Hearing the miko call for him, Sesshoumaru glanced at Kagome and noted her fatigued appearance. A fist made its move towards him, alarming the demon. Breaking his gaze from the girl, Sesshoumaru sidestepped Kouga's attack again, his white-silver hair trailing behind him. The wolf was snarling now and made a sloppy swipe of his claws only to have Sesshoumaru fly past him, his hair touching the infuriated wolf's cheek.
Landing noiselessly on the ground a few feet from the ookami, Sesshoumaru stared at him coldly.
"Surrender or die." The youkai ordered icily.
Snarling, Kouga shook his head vehemently, his long ponytail flying in the air. "Over my dead body ja-ku." He breathed in a harsh, low voice.
His eyes narrowing, Kouga focused his last bit of youki in his feet and swept towards Sesshoumaru. His speed quick enough to make him untraceable enough that the youkai Lord could not even detect him, Kouga lashed out with his claws and almost howled in triumph as he felt his claws tear through the alabaster flesh of the demon.
Sesshoumaru growled in annoyance when he felt the wolf finally manage to touch him. Back-flipping away from the ookami, Sesshoumaru used his superior speed and came behind Kouga and kicked him again in the back of the head, knocking him out.
Kagome gasped when Kouga fell to the ground, not moving. Running towards the ookami, terrified at the possibility Sesshoumaru had kicked him so hard it had killed him, she sighed when she noticed Kouga was still breathing.
“Move miko.” Sesshoumaru ordered from behind her.
Turning and staring at him incredulously, Kagome scowled. “Why?”
Sesshoumaru glared at her. “I am going to rid of this nuisance permanently.”
Kagome gasped. Standing quickly, she looked at Sesshoumaru firmly. “Sesshoumaru you can't kill Kouga! He was just trying-”
“Move or I'll move you myself girl.” Sesshoumaru snapped, his eyes flashing dangerously.
Kagome clenched her jaw. “No.”
Her eyes moving across the demon, she noticed the red spot forming rather quickly on Sesshoumaru's hoari. Worry instantly fluttered in her chest but she repressed her desire to run to Sesshoumaru's side and begin tending to him. She had to first make sure Kouga would not be finished off by the taiyoukai.
Sesshoumaru's eyes slanted furiously. How dare she protect this idiotic nuisance after what he had done? The memory of seeing the priestess struggling as the wolf molested her flashed in Sesshoumaru's mind, causing his restrained anger to begin to rise again.
When he had witnessed Kagome's molestation, he had felt a potent fury enter his being. The knowledge she had not wanted contact with the wolf and was being taken against force had enraged him. He had smelt the wolf's desire and had sensed the desire to mark the girl, despite her being unwilling, in his disgusting youki. He decided there, with his youki howling inside of him, he was going to kill the wolf. Now as he stood triumphant and was prepared to annihilate the ookami, the miko who had been the idiot's victim now protected him.
"Sesshoumaru… thank you but please stop this." the girl pleaded, breaking his train of thought.
Glaring at her, the youkai demanded frostily, “Why."
Sighing, Kagome glanced at the unconscious Kouga. "He is my friend, Sesshoumaru. He cares for me and has protected me when InuYasha couldn't. He is just stubborn and is blinded by affection." she explained softly.
Sesshoumaru glanced at the girl and the wolf. He was jealous. He had finally pinpointed his cause of rage and it did not please him. He, Sesshoumaru, was jealous over a ningen miko and her unwanted wolf suitor. His eyes narrowing angrily, Sesshoumaru watched the demon groan and his blue eyes flutter open.
“The wolf is awake.” he pointed out icily before walking to the other side of the forest clearing.
Kagome turned and watched Kouga standing up groggily, his footing uneasy. Holding his head in his claw, Kouga shook his head to try and clear his thoughts. Why was his body aching all over? Where was he? Smelling sakura, Kouga perked up to see a concerned Kagome near him.
“Kagome? What the… what are you doing here? What am I doing here?” he demanded incredulously.
Kagome sweat dropped. Sesshoumaru had literally kicked Kouga so hard he had made him forget about the fight. Talk about socking it too him! Giving the wolf a placating smile, she patted him on the arm. “You came and visited Sesshoumaru and I.” She pointed at the white form of the taiyoukai across the clearing that stood stiffly, his amber eyes glaring daggers at Kouga.
Kouga blinked and groaned. His head hurt for some reason from just looking at that guy. Scowling, Kouga looked down at Kagome.
Snarling, Kouga shook his head vehemently, his long ponytail flying in the air. "Over my dead body ja-ku." He breathed in a harsh, low voice.
His eyes narrowing, Kouga focused his last bit of youki in his feet and swept towards Sesshoumaru. His speed quick enough to make him untraceable enough that the youkai Lord could not even detect him, Kouga lashed out with his claws and almost howled in triumph as he felt his claws tear through the alabaster flesh of the demon.

Turning and staring at him incredulously, Kagome scowled. “Why?”
Sesshoumaru glared at her. “I am going to rid of this nuisance permanently.”
Kagome gasped. Standing quickly, she looked at Sesshoumaru firmly. “Sesshoumaru you can't kill Kouga! He was just trying-”

Kouga blinked and groaned. His head hurt for some reason from just looking at that guy. Scowling, Kouga looked down at Kagome.
“Isn't that Inu-koru's brother?” he demanded.
Kagome began to grow nervous when she heard Sesshoumaru's growl and quickly began to work to get Kouga far away from Sesshoumaru. “Yep. Kouga before you fell and hit your head you said you had an important mission in your lands. You have to hurry! You were just on your way…”
Kouga stood tall and puffed out his chest. “Hai. Of course I did. Well then… Ja ne Kagome.”
His eyes narrowing on Sesshoumaru, the wolf sneered. Dogs. Who needed them? Turning back to Kagome, he gave her quick hug, oblivious to the glare sent his way and the growl coming from the pale demon and disappeared in his tornado. Watching Kouga leave, Kagome sighed in exasperation. Kami this had been a long day. Now she had more wounds to heal for Sesshoumaru! Speaking of said taiyoukai, Kagome turned to see Sesshoumaru glaring at her.
“Nani? What's wrong?” she asked him.
Watching Sesshoumaru turn his back to her and begin walking away from her. Frowning, Kagome ran quickly and caught up to the demon as he walked down the forest path he had followed. Coming beside him and jogging to try and keep up with his fast pace, she looked up at him and noted the stoic expression on his face but flaring anger in his amber eyes. She had grown able to read his eyes for his thoughts and emotions lately and could tell by the sparkling molten-gold orbs that the demon Lord was angry.
"Sesshoumaru? What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" she asked, confused and worried.
Staring ahead of him, the Lord stayed quiet as he continued to walk. He intended to ignore her and would do so. His eyes focused ahead of him, he continued to walk swiftly, and his head raised high. Noticing Sesshoumaru was ignoring her, Kagome stopped her jogging and watched in stunned, hurt silence as he continued to walk ahead, leaving her behind. Her blue eyes softening with her hurt, Kagome parted her lips to call for him but halted his name from spilling from her lips. He evidently did not want talk to her. Knowing Sesshoumaru the bit she did, she knew that when he did not want to speak to you he could give you the best cold-shoulder. Her shoulders slumping, Kagome watched, confused and hurt as he walked away from her. Her heart quickening when she saw him stop walking and slightly turn to her to pin her with a golden eye, she felt her heart plummet when she heard him demand in a monotonous tone,
“Are you coming or not, ningen?”
Her lips parting, Kagome sighed and nodded. Walking forward, her eyes downcast, she took her place on his right side on the path and began walking forward. Feeling him begin walking behind her, she stiffened when she felt InuYasha's aura coming towards them fast. Hearing twigs and sticks being crunched and heavy foot fall, the priestess turned to her right and watched InuYasha appear form the forest, chopping forestry out of his way with Tetsusaiga.
“InuYasha-” she began.
InuYasha walked pass her and stood in front of Sesshoumaru. Turning behind her, Kagome stared at the two. Why had InuYasha just ignored her? Why was Sesshoumaru ignoring her? What had she done wrong? Watching the two stare at each other with contempt, she heard InuYasha demand,
“What happened to the ookami?”
“Sesshoumaru-” Kagome tried to supply until a cool voice sliced swiftly in.
"This Sesshoumaru rid of the ookami." Sesshoumaru cut in.
Kagome watched the two glare at each other. Feeling the tension between them, she watched the challenge in those amber and gold eyes being directed towards each other. Stepping forward to intervene, she froze when she heard InuYasha ask in a deadly soft voice,
"And how is that possible? I thought you were injured."
Sesshoumaru raised his head proudly and looked down at the hanyou coolly, a dangerous light in his eyes. "This Sesshoumaru is capable of bringing down his foe's still despite any hindering injuries." he answered smoothly, his double-sided sentence being comprehended by the hanyou.
InuYasha looked at the taiyoukai slowly and then, oddly, smirked a bit. "Keh. Whatever.” He muttered. Turning to Kagome he said, “Let's get back to camp." And turned on his heel and began walking with a stiff back down the path.
Kagome watched InuYasha walk away, his aura sparking with something foreign and odd. Her brow furrowing, she thought to herself,
'What is wrong with InuYasha? I've never seen him act like this before.'
"Are you coming, ningen?" Sesshoumaru demanded from ahead of her.
Blinking, Kagome offered the blank-faced demon a small smile and nodded. Walking forward, she kept her pace with Sesshoumaru, her mind's wheels whirling. What was happening with InuYasha? Why was Sesshoumaru acting differently towards her? Confused, the girl shook her head and sighed. She would find out eventually.
_________________________________________
Hovering over a hot fire and stirring a large pot of stew she had made an hour ago of rabbit [InuYasha had gone hunting], herbs and wild vegetation, Higurashi Kagome winced when her stomach gave another loud growl, hinting its growing hunger. Rubbing her stomach to try and placate the annoying organ, she sighed as she continued to stir the stew, watching it thicken and bubble under her ministrations.
“Kirara! Come back!” Shippou yelled and begun running after the fire neko.
Kagome watched the two run into the distance, obviously heading for the flower fields. Softly smiling at the genuine happiness on the little kitsune's face, Kagome looked up to see Sango and Miroku sitting side by side, the taijya polishing her Hiraikotsu and the monk sitting in a full-lotus position, his eyes closed and a calm expression on his face. Viewing them as they were now, not yelling and calm, Kagome could see the jigsaw puzzle fitting the two together as odd as they were. Sango and Miroku was a good couple.
Turning back to the soup, Kagome looked behind her. Seeing Sesshoumaru underneath his ume tree, the girl scowled. All day he had ignored her and continued to treat her as an inferior insect he was too lazy to swat away. He had not spoken to her or even looked at her once since the Kouga incident. Her scowl deepening, Kagome began to stir the stew quicker, her eyes narrowing. After all she had done for him; healing, cooking, cleaning and even giving him her damn blood and endangering her life, he goes back to the `inferior-miko' routine?
Her eyes slanting, Kagome clenched her jaw, grinding her teeth. She had offered her friendship and even her hea-

Her eyes slanting, Kagome clenched her jaw, grinding her teeth. She had offered her friendship and even her hea-
Kagome paused. She had offered him her friendship and her healing abilities [nice save there?] and he what does he do? He treats her nicely and even seems to begin to like her and then he goes on a damn time-traveling bike and goes back to the past and relearns his prior attitude of hating her for no reason?
'It's not fair! What did I do damnit?! I've asked him nicely, demanded and even shouted and he doesn't even blink!'
Her hand swirling faster and faster, Kagome growled. Nothing she did was appreciated anymore. She was basically a rug; something nice to use to rub your dirty feet all over for your own benefit. Her hand was stirring strongly enough to cause the stew to spill out of the pot and hit her, Kagome gasped in pain as some of the stew sloshed over the side and hit her hand. Hissing when the sizzling hot liquid touched her skin, Kagome dropped the ladle in the pot furiously and glared at Sesshoumaru. It was all because of him she was this way. If he had never come to this group, she would never have fought with InuYasha and lost his friendship.
"Kagome? Are you okay?"
Looking up to see Sango's concerned gaz, Kagome gave her a small smile. "Ya, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" she asked as she continued to glare at Sesshoumaru. She was currently imagining him being stabbed by countless daggers or even drowning in the hot spring or-
"You have stew all over you.” Sango's voice interrupted her vision of Sesshoumaru dying in a most grotesque way.
Blinking and trying to regain her mind from its imaginative ideas of punishments for the demon Lord, the miko looked at the taijya with an expression of anger. "I'm fine Sango. I just need to rest. I'm tired." she muttered.
Sango frowned. What had happened to Kagome? Watching the miko continue to sneak glares at Sesshoumaru, the slayer scowled. What had Sesshoumaru done to Kagome? She had never seen the miko glare at the taiyoukai like that since he injured InuYasha two years ago...
"Sango I'll be back later. I need some time to myself. Can you watch over the stew?" Kagome's request brought Sango back to the present.
Nodding, she watched the girl gather her bath supplies quickly and walk into the forest, her aura vibrating with a variety of emotions. Frowning, Sango shook her head. Kagome could not handle all this drama for much longer. The pressure of caring for two brothers was tiring the poor girl to her death. Turning her back to Sesshoumaru, Sango began to stir the stew as she was requested to, oblivious when Sesshoumaru silently stood and walked in the direction Kagome had headed. Miroku watched Sesshoumaru leave the camp and follow the same path Kagome had left. Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, the monk decided it would be better not to notify Sango of Sesshoumaru's departure. It would do well for the pair, Kagome and Sesshoumaru, good if they spoke about their differences and settled them. It was a good opportunity since InuYasha was gone hunting for what he assumed would be quite a while.
The hanyou enjoyed hunting lately- something about the stalking and killing of helpless animals really did cause some sort of happiness for the hanyou for the last few days. Miroku sighed. He could bet his only good hand that InuYasha was imagining Sesshoumaru's head on all those little animals that begged for their lives.
_________________________________________
Sta ring at her reflection in the water, Kagome clenched her jaw and hit the water in anger, her eyes gathering tears. She was tired of all this confusion. She was exhausted with being hurt by men repeatedly. Why did she care if Sesshoumaru talked to her or not? Why did her heart constrict when he glared at her icily? Why was it that she longed to see the tiny smirk she had seen on rare occasions on his pale lips when he had embarrassed her?
Her face slowly softening, the scowl disappearing from her pleasant features, the miko sighed and stood up. Pulling her clothes off and dropping to the floor, not caring about the dirt that would get on them for once, she stepped into the hot spring, her gaze sad and confused. Her blue eyes were still shinning with her held-in tears, their liquid existence the evidence of her growing attraction to the demon Lord. Wadding through the bubbling water slowly, she made her way to the other side of the hot spring and sat on the rock, her knees drawn to her chest, her chin resting on her skinny knees. The water lapped at her cool flesh in small waves and bubbles, reaching up to her shoulders, her onyx hair with its blue tints floating in serpent-like tendrils around her on top of the water.
And that is how he found her.
Entering the hot spring site, Sesshoumaru paused his silent entry when he saw the tiny miko sitting in the hot spring, the scent of salt thus marking her tears, entering his nose, assaulting the delicate smelling glands. His amber eyes fixating themselves on her, he noted the crystal-like tear drops sliding down her face, her usually sparkling sapphire eyes dull and sad. He stood there and looked at her quietly, assessing the girl's depressing beauty at this moment. He found women who cried weak and annoying. But in this moment, her nakedness and open sadness was somehow beautiful and interesting. She looked frail and small, almost like the tiny glass doll he had Jaken find for Rin. Sesshoumaru contemplated his attraction to the miko. She was not an astounding beauty. He knew he was attracted to her personality and intelligence but he found himself becoming to grow aware of the girl's physical attributes.
In this moment, he knew she was naked and he found himself wanting to startle her enough that she would stand in fear or anger. Sesshoumaru scowled slightly, his pale lips twisting into an annoyed frown and his golden eyes narrowing. How had it come to this? How had he grown to like this mortal and see beyond her obvious flaws?
Kagome did not know why but she found the desire to look up and stare in front of her too tempting to ignore. Slowly, she straightened her neck and found herself staring into Sesshoumaru's hot golden eyes. Her lips parting and her breath becoming shallow, she felt her heart beat increase dramatically. The heat in those usually cold eyes made her body tingle and her temperature to rise immediately.
Licking her lips, her skin drying [why was it suddenly so hot?], she parted her lips and managed to whisper,
“What do you want?"
Sesshoumaru heard the husky touch to her soft voice and felt his blood quicken at the seductive element to it. His eyes boldly staring at her, his desire and emotions being shown for the first time, he heard himself murmur,
"To bathe with you."
Kagome felt her heart leaping in her chest and her blood rushing in her body, going everywhere it seemed, as she stared into those golden eyes,
her mouth and throat becoming strangely dry and her body warm. Hearing his response, she shivered at the husky tinge to his soft, deep voice. Her breath deepening, Kagome swallowed and managed to stammer,
"Too help your injuries, right?"
Kagome did not know why. But she found herself longing to hear Sesshoumaru say it wasn't for his injuries. That he wished to bathe with her to be with her. Staring at him, not knowing her blue eyes, so large and beautiful, showed her hope and desire openly, she watched on the edge of the rock she sat on, her body tense and rigid with fear and apprehension. She was scared of his response. If it was yes, she was afraid of the hurt it might cause her. She did not want to be hurt. She had experienced enough of that with InuYasha.
Yet, if he said no, she was afraid of how she would react and how things would play out between them. Did he not hate ningen? Had he not hated and tried to kill her? Where would they go if they began something they could never finish? Her mind whirling, she stared at him, her eyes shinning, and her anxiety obvious. Sesshoumaru could sense her worries. He had never seen so many emotions rolled into one expression. Fear, anxiety, hope, desire, want, interest...
His eyes scanning her features slowly, almost trying to mesmerize how she looked at this moment, Sesshoumaru considered the consequences of either answer he could give the girl. If he said yes, he would finally rid of her. He would no longer have this annoying attraction to the girl for she would no longer tend to him. Yet, if he said yes, he could begin something with this mortal that he was not sure he wanted to start or continue. Sesshoumaru mentally growled. He hated being unsure and confused. He had never been faced with a situation he did not already have a thought-out, flawless plan for. But this girl with her kindness, gentility and innocence had destroyed any and all barriers he had erected all his life against women in the matter of almost two weeks.
'It's not fair! What did I do damnit?! I've asked him nicely, demanded and even shouted and he doesn't even blink!'
Her hand swirling faster and faster, Kagome growled. Nothing she did was appreciated anymore. She was basically a rug; something nice to use to rub your dirty feet all over for your own benefit. Her hand was stirring strongly enough to cause the stew to spill out of the pot and hit her, Kagome gasped in pain as some of the stew sloshed over the side and hit her hand.

If he had never come to this group, she would never have fought with InuYasha and lost his friendship.
"Kagome? Are you okay?"
Looking up to see Sango's concerned gaz, Kagome gave her a small smile. "Ya, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" she asked as she continued to glare at Sesshoumaru. She was currently imagining him being stabbed by countless daggers or even drowning in the hot spring or-
"You have stew all over you.” Sango's voice interrupted her vision of Sesshoumaru dying in a most grotesque way.
Blinking and trying to regain her mind from its imaginative ideas of punishments for the demon Lord, the miko looked at the taijya with an expression of anger. "I'm fine Sango. I just need to rest. I'm tired." she muttered.

Sta ring at her reflection in the water, Kagome clenched her jaw and hit the water in anger, her eyes gathering tears. She was tired of all this confusion. She was exhausted with being hurt by men repeatedly. Why did she care if Sesshoumaru talked to her or not? Why did her heart constrict when he glared at her icily? Why was it that she longed to see the tiny smirk she had seen on rare occasions on his pale lips when he had embarrassed her?
Her face slowly softening, the scowl disappearing from her pleasant features, the miko sighed and stood up. Pulling her clothes off and dropping to the floor, not caring about the dirt that would get on them for once, she stepped into the hot spring, her gaze sad and confused. Her blue eyes were still shinning with her held-in tears, their liquid existence the evidence of her growing attraction to the demon Lord. Wadding through the bubbling water slowly, she made her way to the other side of the hot spring and sat on the rock, her knees drawn to her chest, her chin resting on her skinny knees. The water lapped at her cool flesh in small waves and bubbles, reaching up to her shoulders, her onyx hair with its blue tints floating in serpent-like tendrils around her on top of the water.
And that is how he found her.
Entering the hot spring site, Sesshoumaru paused his silent entry when he saw the tiny miko sitting in the hot spring, the scent of salt thus marking her tears, entering his nose, assaulting the delicate smelling glands. His amber eyes fixating themselves on her, he noted the crystal-like tear drops sliding down her face, her usually sparkling sapphire eyes dull and sad. He stood there and looked at her quietly, assessing the girl's depressing beauty at this moment. He found women who cried weak and annoying. But in this moment, her nakedness and open sadness was somehow beautiful and interesting. She looked frail and small, almost like the tiny glass doll he had Jaken find for Rin. Sesshoumaru contemplated his attraction to the miko. She was not an astounding beauty. He knew he was attracted to her personality and intelligence but he found himself becoming to grow aware of the girl's physical attributes.
In this moment, he knew she was naked and he found himself wanting to startle her enough that she would stand in fear or anger. Sesshoumaru scowled slightly, his pale lips twisting into an annoyed frown and his golden eyes narrowing. How had it come to this? How had he grown to like this mortal and see beyond her obvious flaws?
Kagome did not know why but she found the desire to look up and stare in front of her too tempting to ignore. Slowly, she straightened her neck and found herself staring into Sesshoumaru's hot golden eyes. Her lips parting and her breath becoming shallow, she felt her heart beat increase dramatically. The heat in those usually cold eyes made her body tingle and her temperature to rise immediately.
Licking her lips, her skin drying [why was it suddenly so hot?], she parted her lips and managed to whisper,
“What do you want?"
Sesshoumaru heard the husky touch to her soft voice and felt his blood quicken at the seductive element to it. His eyes boldly staring at her, his desire and emotions being shown for the first time, he heard himself murmur,
"To bathe with you."
Kagome felt her heart leaping in her chest and her blood rushing in her body, going everywhere it seemed, as she stared into those golden eyes,
her mouth and throat becoming strangely dry and her body warm. Hearing his response, she shivered at the husky tinge to his soft, deep voice. Her breath deepening, Kagome swallowed and managed to stammer,
"Too help your injuries, right?"
Kagome did not know why. But she found herself longing to hear Sesshoumaru say it wasn't for his injuries. That he wished to bathe with her to be with her. Staring at him, not knowing her blue eyes, so large and beautiful, showed her hope and desire openly, she watched on the edge of the rock she sat on, her body tense and rigid with fear and apprehension. She was scared of his response. If it was yes, she was afraid of the hurt it might cause her. She did not want to be hurt. She had experienced enough of that with InuYasha.
Yet, if he said no, she was afraid of how she would react and how things would play out between them. Did he not hate ningen? Had he not hated and tried to kill her? Where would they go if they began something they could never finish? Her mind whirling, she stared at him, her eyes shinning, and her anxiety obvious. Sesshoumaru could sense her worries. He had never seen so many emotions rolled into one expression. Fear, anxiety, hope, desire, want, interest...
His eyes scanning her features slowly, almost trying to mesmerize how she looked at this moment, Sesshoumaru considered the consequences of either answer he could give the girl. If he said yes, he would finally rid of her. He would no longer have this annoying attraction to the girl for she would no longer tend to him. Yet, if he said yes, he could begin something with this mortal that he was not sure he wanted to start or continue. Sesshoumaru mentally growled. He hated being unsure and confused. He had never been faced with a situation he did not already have a thought-out, flawless plan for. But this girl with her kindness, gentility and innocence had destroyed any and all barriers he had erected all his life against women in the matter of almost two weeks.
How she had done it, he did not know. How she had managed to shatter the barriers he had fortified repeatedly in case of this sort of situation and force herself into his thoughts and desires confused and irritated him. He could never accept her mortality nor her human heritage. It was beneath him and his superior status. But that did not stop him from wanting the girl. He knew he was losing a battle with himself. He had never lost before and it was something he was not enjoying as he experienced it with this simple girl.
Kagome crossed her arms over her bare breasts and slowly stood, the water covering her from just beneath her hip bones. Presenting herself to Sesshoumaru openly, her blue eyes still holding his molten-gold pair, she felt the blush creeping on her cheeks.
"Sesshoumaru? Do you need a bath?" she asked hesitantly, her blue eyes shinning with turmoil.
She should have been mad at him for what he did earlier. But now, she could only think about every dream, thought and want she had had about him for the last week. She had never felt this strongly about someone so suddenly since InuYasha. Her eyes glued to his face, she felt her breath coming in short pants.
What was happening?
Sesshoumaru could not help but feel his desire ten-fold at the bare beauty of her. His eyes slowly traveling from her gentle face to the perfect figure of the ningen, Sesshoumaru found his hakama becoming tight suddenly. He had never expected her body to be beautiful. He had thought because she was a ningen, her body would be deformed and have some sort of disgusting marking of her inferior heritage. But her smooth creamy skin, her small but curvy frame and proportioned body defied all laws of her human link.
She was so small, so fragile. She was merely 5'6 while he himself was 6'3. She was slender, fragile and curved while he was lean, muscled and strong. She seemed perfectly fitted to him. His eyes moving across her body hotly, his blood hot and alive, his youki growling in impatience, Sesshoumaru could not help but feel himself grow disgusted with himself.
'This Sesshoumaru has his Father's weakness.'
Looking at the girl in her doe-like eyes again, his golden eyes half lidded, he began to ponder. Is this what his father had felt when he met the human princess Izayoi? Had he felt disgusted, confused but all the while still wanting her?
"I will join you." he murmured in a velvet laced tone, his half-lidded eyes glowing gold in the setting darkness.
Kagome felt her heart almost stop. Her mouth opening only to close in shock, she watched Sesshoumaru walk forward silently, slowly until he stood at the edge of the hot spring where she stood naked in the middle of it. Staring up into his stunning, angelic face with its golden eyes now currently flashing with heat, she hesitantly crossed over the hot spring to where Sesshoumaru stood.
She did not know what was happening. She had felt it growing between her and Sesshoumaru and now it had been released. Her arm still crossed over her chest, she reached out a shaking hand and untied the knot that held his pants around his hips. Closing her eyes, embarrassed and mortified, she heard the soft rustle of the silk landing to the ground. Feeling something enter the hot spring and stand beside her, Kagome felt a claw gently cup her small chin and turn her face upwards.
"Kagome." she heard him say her name, his deep voice deliciously making it sound seductive.
Goosebumps rising on her skin, hesitantly, she opened her eyes and met his molten-gold stare. Gasping at the heat and desire in those usually frozen amber pools, she watched in stunned silence and Sesshoumaru leaned down and pressed his warm, pale lips on hers. Her body stiffening for moment, Kagome felt her eyes flutter closed and her body relax. Her body melting under the soft, butterfly-pressure of his beautiful lips, she sighed and leaned into the kiss. Sesshoumaru felt something odd happen as he felt those trembling, soft lips upon his own. Warmth began to spread from his chest throughout his body, the alien warmth causing him to shudder. He had never felt strong and weak at the same time but as he kissed this mortal, he felt himself feeling so. His inner-inu howled its pleasure. His lips moving across hers slowly, his tongue running across her full bottom lip seductively, Sesshoumaru felt a purr vibrate in his chest.
For some reason, his blood beast liked this ningen and accepted her. Why? He did not understand. But he had no reason to complain at the moment. His claw tilting her head to the side, Sesshoumaru nipped her bottom lip, causing her to gasp and allow entrance into her mouth. Tasting the girl's delicious, addictive taste on his tongue, Sesshoumaru growled in pleasure, craving for more of her honey-suckle, spice taste. Kagome found herself slowly melting as she felt the taiyoukai not drawing away from her. Pressing herself closely to him, blushing at her forwardness, she wrapped her arms around his neck, enjoying the feeling of his powerful body.
Steel wrapped over with silk. That's what his body felt like.
Opening her mouth, she slowly flicked her tongue across hers, her cheeks flushing with the delicious tingles it caused in her. Sesshoumaru fought his blood beast reverently. It wanted this human… now. Feeling his needs succumbing and winning over his mind, Sesshoumaru leaned into the kiss more, his claw traveling down her body, enjoying the silken texture of her creamy flesh only to rest on her pert bottom.
Feeling her stiffen and squirm, he opened his eyes and pinned hers with the golden heat of his. His eyes keeping the stunned Kagome, he moved his lips lightly moving across hers, his tongue occasionally rubbing across hers. Kagome gasped and found herself become electrified underneath the demon's blazing tongue's caress. Sesshoumaru's nose twitched as he smelt a spike in her luscious scent. His eyes still keeping the girl in a trance somewhat, he slowly brought his lips from hers and kissed the corners of her mouth and underneath her chin, his tongue running up and down her long throat slowly. Hearing her panting, he kissed at the water droplets on her slender shoulders.
Kagome was last in a world of pleasure and heat. Her arms tightening around the demon's neck, her hands running through his long, silken platinum hair, she gasped when her bare breasts met his bare chest. The meeting of their private flesh touching caused her to shiver, her body trembling with the impact of desire that washed over her. She found her legs shaking, her palms sweating and her heart racing. As she felt the cold Lord's tongue on her shoulders only to begin to lower to her breasts, she found herself moaning softly.
Sesshoumaru growled in his throat as her honey flavor met the taste buds on his tongue. She was so sweet; erotically sweet. Like no other female he had tasted before. Her innocent, sweet, intoxicating and pure taste excited him, surprising the taiyoukai. His tongue slowly tracing the top of her left breast, feeling her shudder and hearing her surprise gasp, Sesshoumaru purred, the vibration entering her chest and causing her to gasp more.
Her hands digging into his hair, her blunted nails scraping against his scalp, Sesshoumaru growled in pleasure as he felt the little miko growing more aggressive under his ministrations, his blood beast purring in satisfaction. His mouth moving down, Sesshoumaru licked the pebbled nipple close to his mouth and enclosed the entrancing areola in his hot mouth, nipping it gently with a fang inside his mouth. Kagome shuddered and almost went limp with pleasure, Sesshoumaru's arm the only means of support. Sesshoumaru mentally thanked the miko for her healing abilities. His arm was strong enough to hold up her slight weight and support her in this delightful position. While it was not strong enough to fight with, it would serve his wants for now. Opening his mouth and sucking on more of her breast, he grew more aware of her trembles and moans.
It was addictive. This girl was addictive. How it had come to this he did not know. All he knew was that he wanted this gentle miko at this moment. Feeling her mind slowly leave underneath Sesshoumaru's painfully erotic love-making with his mouth, his silky lips and hot tongue arousing her to a pique she had never known she had, the miko didn't notice when Sesshoumaru stiffened. Feeling his mouth leave her breast and his back straighten, his arm tightening around her small waist almost painfully, Kagome trembled when the taiyoukai began growling savagely.
Looking up into his face, she saw the snarl on his lips, his golden eyes flashing furiously. Looking to the side, Kagome sensed InuYasha's aura coming towards them.
"InuYasha." she whispered, her throat tightening.
Sesshoumaru glanced at her, noting her whitening features. The spark of jealousy inside of him flared. Growling, he glared at her. "Afraid the half-breed will catch you? What is wrong miko? You do not want your lover catching you with another?" he demanded dryly, his tone harsh and merciless.
Kagome looked at the angry Sesshoumaru. Blushing, she pushed herself away from him and quickly exited the hot spring. Throwing on her clothes, she looked at him. Seeing the anger in those now cold amber eyes, she whispered,
Kagome crossed her arms over her bare breasts and slowly stood, the water covering her from just beneath her hip bones. Presenting herself to Sesshoumaru openly, her blue eyes still holding his molten-gold pair, she felt the blush creeping on her cheeks.
"Sesshoumaru? Do you need a bath?" she asked hesitantly, her blue eyes shinning with turmoil.

Goosebumps rising on her skin, hesitantly, she opened her eyes and met his molten-gold stare. Gasping at the heat and desire in those usually frozen amber pools, she watched in stunned silence and Sesshoumaru leaned down and pressed his warm, pale lips on hers.

Feeling his mouth leave her breast and his back straighten, his arm tightening around her small waist almost painfully, Kagome trembled when the taiyoukai began growling savagely.
Looking up into his face, she saw the snarl on his lips, his golden eyes flashing furiously. Looking to the side, Kagome sensed InuYasha's aura coming towards them.
"InuYasha." she whispered, her throat tightening.
Sesshoumaru glanced at her, noting her whitening features. The spark of jealousy inside of him flared. Growling, he glared at her. "Afraid the half-breed will catch you? What is wrong miko? You do not want your lover catching you with another?" he demanded dryly, his tone harsh and merciless.
Kagome looked at the angry Sesshoumaru. Blushing, she pushed herself away from him and quickly exited the hot spring. Throwing on her clothes, she looked at him. Seeing the anger in those now cold amber eyes, she whispered,
"I told you we're nothing but friends, Sesshoumaru. Of course I do not want him catching me- especially with you, Sesshoumaru. I care for him. He is my friend." she stressed the word, hoping the taiyoukai would understand.
Sesshoumaru comprehended the meaning. Standing erectly, his naked beauty entrancing her, he left the hot spring as well. Only in his loin cloth, he heard the girl 'eep'. Turning and seeing her blushing and fumbling with her green under shirt, Sesshoumaru slightly smirked as he noticed her glancing at his very apparent arousal. Stepping towards her, he purred loudly and licked her ear and blew on it slowly, causing her to tremble.
"Have you never seen a male aroused, miko?" he asked silkily.
Kagome pressed her hot hands to her even hotter face, hoping they would some how cool down her red cheeks. Seeing the evident arousal again, Kagome bent down and quickly pulled up his white pants and put a very firm knot in them to hold them there. She moaned when she noted his large arousal was not hidden by the large pants, embarrassed beyond belief. Hearing a smooth chuckle from over top of her, Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru, her eyes large with shock. She had never heard Sesshoumaru chuckle, laugh... nothing. She found herself liking the sound. Seeing the half-smirk, she felt her heart melting.
'I can actually grow to love this demon..' she thought to herself in shock.
Her eyes searching his, she felt her heart flutter.
'Or maybe I already...'
"Kagome!" InuYasha's voice intruded the moment.
Turning, Kagome watched InuYasha appear in a flash of red. His golden eyes sparkling with fury, she gasped when she noticed his eyes flashing red.
'He's losing control of his youkai blood!'
Sesshoumaru watched cautiously as the red figure bent his head forward, his eyes hidden, his red-clad body trembling with fury, his aura coming off in waves and spiking dangerously in intensity. He had witnessed the half-breed in his demon form and had been impressed and even hesitant to approach the boy. It had disgusted him to be even slightly afraid of the half-breed but he knew a rival when he saw one. With his only arm not up to par and a full demon InuYasha who could even present a challenge for him with both of his arms, Sesshoumaru warily eyed the hanyou.
"InuYasha." he greeted the half-breed coolly, outwardly appearing emotionless but inside, he was prepared for a battle.
The hanyou raised his almost pure red eyes to the cold youkai's own cold amber pair. "You fucking bastard." he rasped in a thick, guttural voice.
Kagome moved from behind Sesshoumaru, despite the taiyoukai's warning growl, and began to walk towards the transformed half-breed. Stunned, she trembled when she heard her friend snarl viciously at her and quickly ceased her approach to him.
"I-Inu Yasha.." she whispered softly, hoping he would remember her.
InuYasha slowly looked up at the girl, his crimson gaze glowing in the setting dark. Kagome felt her heart stop at the fury and hatred in that gaze. Stumbling backwards, she went to Sesshoumaru's side. Shaking, she whispered to Sesshoumaru,
"Use your youki energy to leave, Sesshoumaru. He is going to kill you."
Sesshoumaru continued to stare at the idiotic half-breed. He sneered. "Do you think I will leave you girl?"
Kagome felt her heart twist. Turning and staring at Sesshoumaru, her gaze softening, she gave him a small smile. "No… but I was hoping you would though."
Sesshoumaru stared in front of impassively. "You were hoping for something that would never happen. I have sworn to protect you." He glanced at her, his golden eye flaring with a heat. "I will not leave what is mine."
Kagome stared at him shock. His? She was his?
_________________________________________
Mirok u stiffened as he stopped kissing a dazed Sango. His monk energy was spiking dangerously and warning him of a dark presence. Pulling himself reluctantly from Sango's soft embrace, he stood up stiffly and looked to the north. His violet eyes serious, he said grimly,
"InuYasha."
Blinking, the slayer blinked in shock. InuYasha? They share an intimate moment and he says InuYasha?! Angry that Miroku talked of their friend during such an important moment for them, Sango stood and glared at Miroku furiously.
"InuYasha?!" she demanded furiously, bristling in rage.
Miroku glanced at his angry woman. Sighing, he pointed to the north. "He is enraged, Sango. His aura reeks of youkai energy." Miroku said thickly.
Sango turned to the north and focused her demon slayer abilities. Feeling a dark presence much alike to InuYasha's, the slayer shivered. Yes, InuYasha had transformed. Running to grab Kirara and her boomerang, she hurriedly nodded to Miroku and said,
"Let's go, houshi-sama!"
Kirara bounded in front of them, a tired and confused Shippou sitting on her transformed back. His large green eyes showing his confusion, the fox kit demanded,
"What is happening? Where the heck is Kagome and Sesshoumaru? Where's InuYasha? Why do I always get left out of everything? Is it because I'm younger? You guys do know-"
"InuYasha has transformed into his full-youkai state." Miroku interrupted grimly.
Shippou gawked at the monk. Staring at the direction they were heading, the kit shivered at the tremendous amount of youki the area. Turning to the slayer and bouzo, he began waving his arms frantically in the air, bouncing on Kirara's back to catch their attention.
"Then why are we going towards it?! He's gonna to kill us!" he shrieked.
Sango glared at Shippou. "We need to save Kagome-chan, Shippou! She is with Sesshoumaru who is injured and can not provide any protection from Inuyasha!"
Shippou yelped and hid in Miroku's robes. This was not going to end well. He could feel it. Feeling them land on the ground, he felt Miroku pick him up and begin running towards the trio. Running to the ki, Miroku found himself and Sango in a clearing. Looking around, the monk held out his hand to stop Sango as he grimly faced an enraged InuYasha, expressionless taiyoukai and frightened, white-faced Kagome. Ignoring the fact his tachi was now here, InuYasha stepped towards the stiff Sesshoumaru and equally stiff Kagome. Not even looking at the source of his hatred, InuYasha glared at Kagome who stood by the taiyoukai almost protectively. Watching her stand in front of the demon, hearing the white demon growl at her to go behind him, he sensed her fear.
His mind not completely taken over by his youkai blood, InuYasha demanded, "Why him Kagome?! Why Sesshoumaru?!"
Kagome flinched at the hanyou's rage. "InuYasha you don't understand-"
"The baka doesn't understand anything." Sesshoumaru interrupted coldly.
Snarling, InuYasha used his increased speed and appeared before the momentarily surprised Sesshoumaru. Reeling his fist back, he smacked the demon Lord in the cheek with a titanic amount of force. Sesshoumaru continued to stand where he was, his head not even snapping back like a perfectly still statue and just as unmovable.
The tachi froze as the red mark appeared on the taiyoukai's pale cheek.
Snarling, InuYasha's red eyes glared at his enraged aniiki. "Don't fucking talk about me or talk to Kagome again." he panted out angrily.
His anger rising, Sesshomaru's eyes bled red as his youki came forth, wishing to rid of the hanyou and bathe in his blood. Disappearing in a white blur, Sesshoumaru went on the opposite side of the clearing, away from the boy and Kagome. He would draw the half-breed away from Kagome to fight him. He did not want her caught in this battle and be harmed.
"You, lowly hanyou, will die by the end of the night." he snarled as his eyes became a blood red, frightening everyone except a snarling InuYasha. Sesshoumaru appeared as a white blur as he then became visible behind the furious hanyou.
"You shall die, hanyou." he stated coldly.
InuYasha smirked and chuckled evilly. His red eyes glowing in the dark, he shook his head. “You can't fucking hurt as fly, Sesshoumaru. You can't even lift your sword." the hanyou snarled out smugly.
His eyes narrowing angrily, Sesshoumaru swiftly kicked the surprised hanyou in the gut. Snarling, InuYasha stood up. Tetsusaiga lay on the ground, allowing the hanyou to be in his youkai form still. Kagome watched in horror as InuYasha screamed, "Die!", and dove for the taiyoukai.
Seeing the two disappear and reappear as nothing more then white and red blurs, she screamed, "Stop!”
Appearing before her, Inu Yasha snarled. "Stay the fuck out of this Kagome. You stupid wench!"
Intending to turn and swipe Sesshoumaru's head off, he met the full force of the demon's foot. Grunting as the foot connected with his face, he snarled and looked up at his older half-brother. Sesshoumaru glared at the half-breed and allowed the boy to meet the intense heat of his glare. He would not live to talk to Kagome like that again. InuYasha screamed, his red eyes flashing and began throwing punches at Sesshoumaru, hitting the air as the demon Lord managed to find more power within himself, his speed increasing, as his own red eyes hinted his burst of youkai anger. Sesshoumaru seemed to be fighting InuYasha gracefully, leading the hanyou away from everyone in case they were brought into the battle by accident.
'Sesshoumaru...'
Not able to stand the thought of either of them being hurt, Kagome ran forward and grabbed Tetsusaiga. Panting and ignoring the group's screams for her to stop, she ran towards InuYasha, Tetsusaiga being dragged behind her, still transformed, and screamed,
"InuYasha!"
Hearing Kagome from his left side, she now stood beside Sesshoumaru and him, InuYasha turned to the girl, his red eyes widening as the katana was thrown at him. His reflexes quick, he subconsciously caught the weapon. Feeling the heat and desire to kill melting away as his claw touched the sword, he blinked in surprise.
Seeing a shaking, pale Kagome, he scowled.
"Kagome...?"
Kagome sighed. "InuYasha." she whispered, her blue eyes soft.
InuYasha snarled when he saw his silent brother glaring at him emotionlessly. Staring into those golden eyes so alike yet still so different to his own, he hissed furiously. "Sesshoumaru!" Remembering why he had transformed, InuYasha leapt the distance from the still demon and raised Tetsusaiga high in the air, youki swirling around the blade in swirls of blue and yellow energy. His eyes sparkling, his lips twisted into a furious sneer, the half-breed screamed,
"Kaze no Kizu!"
Kagome's mouth fell open in horror as she saw Sesshoumaru had no time to race away from the attack, his body weakened by the fight.
"Sesshoumaru!" she screamed.
Watching as the bright yellow lights made their way to Sesshoumaru Kagome threw away all caution and ran towards Sesshoumaru, reaching out to him. Seeing him turn to her, his golden eyes widening slightly in surprise to see her running towards him during the attack, she felt her heart beating madly in her chest.
'Sesshoumaru...' she thought, tears blinding her vision.
Jumping in front of the in coming blades, she hugged Sesshoumaru's stiff body and looking up into his stunned face, smiled. Closing her eyes, she focused her energy on him.
'Please let me protect him.'
The blades came fast and hit hard. Gasping at the pain entering her body, the girl stumbled a bit. Sesshoumaru looked down at the small girl shielding him with her tiny body continue to protect him. His golden eyes disbelieving, he tried to push her away but knew it was too late. Watching her grunt in pain, he watched the blades continue to hit her bright blue barrier made from her soul. He had heard of priestesses who had sacrificed their lives by using their actual soul to shield someone they cared for in a spontaneous moment of love.
Finally, the attack was over and a shaking, pale Kagome who continued to hug him looked up into his eyes and whispered,
"Thank Kami you're alright."
And then, smiling at him one last time, she passed out. Her body limp she began to slide to the ground. Before the girl hit the ground, Sesshoumaru caught her with his arm, ignoring the pain it caused him, and drew her into his body. Staring down at her soft, sleeping features, the taiyoukai was in awe. This girl had almost sacrificed her life twice for him. She had given her blood and now her body to save his life. Staring at her heatedly, Sesshoumaru slowly brought his flashing golden eyes up to glare furiously at the shocked boy.
His upper lip curling back to reveal his fangs, the taiyoukai snarled,
"You're dead, little brother."

Sesshoumaru comprehended the meaning. Standing erectly, his naked beauty entrancing her, he left the hot spring as well. Only in his loin cloth, he heard the girl 'eep'. Turning and seeing her blushing and fumbling with her green under shirt, Sesshoumaru slightly smirked as he noticed her glancing at his very apparent arousal. Stepping towards her, he purred loudly and licked her ear and blew on it slowly, causing her to tremble.
"Have you never seen a male aroused, miko?" he asked silkily.
Kagome pressed her hot hands to her even hotter face, hoping they would some how cool down her red cheeks. Seeing the evident arousal again, Kagome bent down and quickly pulled up his white pants and put a very firm knot in them to hold them there. She moaned when she noted his large arousal was not hidden by the large pants, embarrassed beyond belief. Hearing a smooth chuckle from over top of her, Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru, her eyes large with shock. She had never heard Sesshoumaru chuckle, laugh... nothing. She found herself liking the sound. Seeing the half-smirk, she felt her heart melting.
'I can actually grow to love this demon..' she thought to herself in shock.
Her eyes searching his, she felt her heart flutter.
'Or maybe I already...'
"Kagome!" InuYasha's voice intruded the moment.
Turning, Kagome watched InuYasha appear in a flash of red. His golden eyes sparkling with fury, she gasped when she noticed his eyes flashing red.
'He's losing control of his youkai blood!'
Sesshoumaru watched cautiously as the red figure bent his head forward, his eyes hidden, his red-clad body trembling with fury, his aura coming off in waves and spiking dangerously in intensity. He had witnessed the half-breed in his demon form and had been impressed and even hesitant to approach the boy. It had disgusted him to be even slightly afraid of the half-breed but he knew a rival when he saw one. With his only arm not up to par and a full demon InuYasha who could even present a challenge for him with both of his arms, Sesshoumaru warily eyed the hanyou.
"InuYasha." he greeted the half-breed coolly, outwardly appearing emotionless but inside, he was prepared for a battle.
The hanyou raised his almost pure red eyes to the cold youkai's own cold amber pair. "You fucking bastard." he rasped in a thick, guttural voice.
Kagome moved from behind Sesshoumaru, despite the taiyoukai's warning growl, and began to walk towards the transformed half-breed. Stunned, she trembled when she heard her friend snarl viciously at her and quickly ceased her approach to him.
"I-Inu Yasha.." she whispered softly, hoping he would remember her.
InuYasha slowly looked up at the girl, his crimson gaze glowing in the setting dark. Kagome felt her heart stop at the fury and hatred in that gaze. Stumbling backwards, she went to Sesshoumaru's side. Shaking, she whispered to Sesshoumaru,
"Use your youki energy to leave, Sesshoumaru. He is going to kill you."
Sesshoumaru continued to stare at the idiotic half-breed. He sneered. "Do you think I will leave you girl?"
Kagome felt her heart twist. Turning and staring at Sesshoumaru, her gaze softening, she gave him a small smile. "No… but I was hoping you would though."
Sesshoumaru stared in front of impassively. "You were hoping for something that would never happen. I have sworn to protect you." He glanced at her, his golden eye flaring with a heat. "I will not leave what is mine."
Kagome stared at him shock. His? She was his?

Mirok u stiffened as he stopped kissing a dazed Sango. His monk energy was spiking dangerously and warning him of a dark presence. Pulling himself reluctantly from Sango's soft embrace, he stood up stiffly and looked to the north. His violet eyes serious, he said grimly,
"InuYasha."
Blinking, the slayer blinked in shock. InuYasha? They share an intimate moment and he says InuYasha?! Angry that Miroku talked of their friend during such an important moment for them, Sango stood and glared at Miroku furiously.
"InuYasha?!" she demanded furiously, bristling in rage.
Miroku glanced at his angry woman. Sighing, he pointed to the north. "He is enraged, Sango. His aura reeks of youkai energy." Miroku said thickly.
Sango turned to the north and focused her demon slayer abilities. Feeling a dark presence much alike to InuYasha's, the slayer shivered. Yes, InuYasha had transformed. Running to grab Kirara and her boomerang, she hurriedly nodded to Miroku and said,
"Let's go, houshi-sama!"
Kirara bounded in front of them, a tired and confused Shippou sitting on her transformed back. His large green eyes showing his confusion, the fox kit demanded,
"What is happening? Where the heck is Kagome and Sesshoumaru? Where's InuYasha? Why do I always get left out of everything? Is it because I'm younger? You guys do know-"
"InuYasha has transformed into his full-youkai state." Miroku interrupted grimly.
Shippou gawked at the monk. Staring at the direction they were heading, the kit shivered at the tremendous amount of youki the area. Turning to the slayer and bouzo, he began waving his arms frantically in the air, bouncing on Kirara's back to catch their attention.
"Then why are we going towards it?! He's gonna to kill us!" he shrieked.
Sango glared at Shippou. "We need to save Kagome-chan, Shippou! She is with Sesshoumaru who is injured and can not provide any protection from Inuyasha!"
Shippou yelped and hid in Miroku's robes. This was not going to end well. He could feel it. Feeling them land on the ground, he felt Miroku pick him up and begin running towards the trio. Running to the ki, Miroku found himself and Sango in a clearing. Looking around, the monk held out his hand to stop Sango as he grimly faced an enraged InuYasha, expressionless taiyoukai and frightened, white-faced Kagome. Ignoring the fact his tachi was now here, InuYasha stepped towards the stiff Sesshoumaru and equally stiff Kagome. Not even looking at the source of his hatred, InuYasha glared at Kagome who stood by the taiyoukai almost protectively. Watching her stand in front of the demon, hearing the white demon growl at her to go behind him, he sensed her fear.
His mind not completely taken over by his youkai blood, InuYasha demanded, "Why him Kagome?! Why Sesshoumaru?!"
Kagome flinched at the hanyou's rage. "InuYasha you don't understand-"
"The baka doesn't understand anything." Sesshoumaru interrupted coldly.
Snarling, InuYasha used his increased speed and appeared before the momentarily surprised Sesshoumaru. Reeling his fist back, he smacked the demon Lord in the cheek with a titanic amount of force. Sesshoumaru continued to stand where he was, his head not even snapping back like a perfectly still statue and just as unmovable.
The tachi froze as the red mark appeared on the taiyoukai's pale cheek.
Snarling, InuYasha's red eyes glared at his enraged aniiki. "Don't fucking talk about me or talk to Kagome again." he panted out angrily.
His anger rising, Sesshomaru's eyes bled red as his youki came forth, wishing to rid of the hanyou and bathe in his blood. Disappearing in a white blur, Sesshoumaru went on the opposite side of the clearing, away from the boy and Kagome. He would draw the half-breed away from Kagome to fight him. He did not want her caught in this battle and be harmed.
"You, lowly hanyou, will die by the end of the night." he snarled as his eyes became a blood red, frightening everyone except a snarling InuYasha. Sesshoumaru appeared as a white blur as he then became visible behind the furious hanyou.
"You shall die, hanyou." he stated coldly.
InuYasha smirked and chuckled evilly. His red eyes glowing in the dark, he shook his head. “You can't fucking hurt as fly, Sesshoumaru. You can't even lift your sword." the hanyou snarled out smugly.
His eyes narrowing angrily, Sesshoumaru swiftly kicked the surprised hanyou in the gut. Snarling, InuYasha stood up. Tetsusaiga lay on the ground, allowing the hanyou to be in his youkai form still. Kagome watched in horror as InuYasha screamed, "Die!", and dove for the taiyoukai.
Seeing the two disappear and reappear as nothing more then white and red blurs, she screamed, "Stop!”
Appearing before her, Inu Yasha snarled. "Stay the fuck out of this Kagome. You stupid wench!"
Intending to turn and swipe Sesshoumaru's head off, he met the full force of the demon's foot. Grunting as the foot connected with his face, he snarled and looked up at his older half-brother. Sesshoumaru glared at the half-breed and allowed the boy to meet the intense heat of his glare. He would not live to talk to Kagome like that again. InuYasha screamed, his red eyes flashing and began throwing punches at Sesshoumaru, hitting the air as the demon Lord managed to find more power within himself, his speed increasing, as his own red eyes hinted his burst of youkai anger. Sesshoumaru seemed to be fighting InuYasha gracefully, leading the hanyou away from everyone in case they were brought into the battle by accident.
'Sesshoumaru...'
Not able to stand the thought of either of them being hurt, Kagome ran forward and grabbed Tetsusaiga. Panting and ignoring the group's screams for her to stop, she ran towards InuYasha, Tetsusaiga being dragged behind her, still transformed, and screamed,
"InuYasha!"
Hearing Kagome from his left side, she now stood beside Sesshoumaru and him, InuYasha turned to the girl, his red eyes widening as the katana was thrown at him. His reflexes quick, he subconsciously caught the weapon. Feeling the heat and desire to kill melting away as his claw touched the sword, he blinked in surprise.
Seeing a shaking, pale Kagome, he scowled.
"Kagome...?"
Kagome sighed. "InuYasha." she whispered, her blue eyes soft.
InuYasha snarled when he saw his silent brother glaring at him emotionlessly. Staring into those golden eyes so alike yet still so different to his own, he hissed furiously. "Sesshoumaru!" Remembering why he had transformed, InuYasha leapt the distance from the still demon and raised Tetsusaiga high in the air, youki swirling around the blade in swirls of blue and yellow energy. His eyes sparkling, his lips twisted into a furious sneer, the half-breed screamed,
"Kaze no Kizu!"
Kagome's mouth fell open in horror as she saw Sesshoumaru had no time to race away from the attack, his body weakened by the fight.
"Sesshoumaru!" she screamed.
Watching as the bright yellow lights made their way to Sesshoumaru Kagome threw away all caution and ran towards Sesshoumaru, reaching out to him. Seeing him turn to her, his golden eyes widening slightly in surprise to see her running towards him during the attack, she felt her heart beating madly in her chest.
'Sesshoumaru...' she thought, tears blinding her vision.
Jumping in front of the in coming blades, she hugged Sesshoumaru's stiff body and looking up into his stunned face, smiled. Closing her eyes, she focused her energy on him.
'Please let me protect him.'
The blades came fast and hit hard. Gasping at the pain entering her body, the girl stumbled a bit. Sesshoumaru looked down at the small girl shielding him with her tiny body continue to protect him. His golden eyes disbelieving, he tried to push her away but knew it was too late. Watching her grunt in pain, he watched the blades continue to hit her bright blue barrier made from her soul. He had heard of priestesses who had sacrificed their lives by using their actual soul to shield someone they cared for in a spontaneous moment of love.
Finally, the attack was over and a shaking, pale Kagome who continued to hug him looked up into his eyes and whispered,
"Thank Kami you're alright."
And then, smiling at him one last time, she passed out. Her body limp she began to slide to the ground. Before the girl hit the ground, Sesshoumaru caught her with his arm, ignoring the pain it caused him, and drew her into his body. Staring down at her soft, sleeping features, the taiyoukai was in awe. This girl had almost sacrificed her life twice for him. She had given her blood and now her body to save his life. Staring at her heatedly, Sesshoumaru slowly brought his flashing golden eyes up to glare furiously at the shocked boy.
His upper lip curling back to reveal his fangs, the taiyoukai snarled,
"You're dead, little brother."
