Chapter 16

 

Selena had been surrounded by numerous tiger youkai who intended to capture her for the power she possessed. As she stood to face them she poured her miko powers into her weapons ready to kill anyone who came to near. A few that were to eager moved quickly trying to catch her off guard. Unfortunately for them she was well trained catching one demon in the shoulder while swinging her other arm around and plunging the sai into the others stomach purifying them instantly. Only to turn and decapitate another that had charged her. Her hair had covered her eyes and when she looked up her eyes were outlined in blood red, but she still managed to remain in control. It had been a long time since she was attacked by so many and would enjoy taking her frustrations out on them.

 

Kagome was walking through the shrine grounds with Inuyasha when she felt the vibrations of anger through her rose and knew it was Selena. Looking up she saw the concern in her mate's eyes as well and both knew that their friend was in trouble. “We better hurry Inuyasha.” They were about to open a portal when Kurama rounded the corner looking at them curiously.

 

He was getting ready to leave when he saw the concerned look on his friends' faces and knew something was wrong. “What going on?”

 

The change was hard to miss as his eyes turned from emerald green to molten gold and the intensity was nearly enough to make Kagome shiver. “Selena is in trouble so we are going to make sure that she is ok.”

 

“I will come as well,” he said. Once they stepped through the portal he was astonished at the destruction that this one vixen had caused. There were several tiger youkai attacking her as her body gracefully moved and dodged many of their blows while attacking those that got to close. He watched as one tiger got close to her and she thrust her hand into his chest and withdrew his still beating heart.

 

Kyo was furious that she had killed so many of his warriors and decided that they should all attack at once. He gave the signal to them as they all leapt at once overpowering her.

 

Youko had already taken control and pulled his rose transforming it into his deadly whip. The only thoughts coming to mind were those of the slow agonizing deaths of the ones that attacked his future mate. His eyes were cold and calculating as he walked calmly into the clearing. As he walked towards them he noticed a light growing brighter where Selena was and stopped when a growl of fury echoed in the clearing. The youkai were all thrown into the trees only to reveal a vixen with blood red eyes. The sais she used disappeared and in their place stood a pair of twin katanas.

 

“Oh shit,” said Inuyasha. “Now they've pissed her off.” He saw the curiosity in the fox's eyes and decided to explain. “When she uses those katanas it's because she is pissed beyond belief and when that happens you better stand back. Once she is done she'll be very tired because they use a lot of her power.”

 

They watched as she brought the katanas in front of her body watching those around her. Once more they were surrounding her trying to bring her down again as her body bent backwards while fluidly moving her arms around catching several youkai at once. Her right foot came up kicking one tiger in the chin while quickly turning to her side catching another off guard.

 

Youko had had enough as he took a different seed from his hair feeding it his energy. They deserved a slow death not a quick one that his whip would bring. The seed turned into a death tree with many mouths that dripped acid that would slowly burn the flesh from the bones of its prey. The tree caught movement and attacked the tiger that had its attention. His screams of agony amused Youko as he encouraged the tree to eat its fill.

 

Kagome and Inuyasha watched as both Selena and Youko killed them one by one. `So the stories of his cruelty and maliciousness were true,' thought Kagome as she watched him kill those around him brutely.

 

Selena was slowing down when she suddenly screamed in pain as claws slashed her back. She fell to her hands and knees looking over her shoulder to see Kyo standing over her. He bent down fisting his hand in her hair pulling her head back to look at him.

 

Kyo was growling savagely as he pulled her harder towards him. “It's a good thing you're worth more alive to me than dead. I'll take immense pride in breaking you bitch.” Rising his sword he viciously hit her in the back of the head effectively knocking her out. Before he could grab her he dodged a whip that hit where he had been standing. Looking up he growled at the silver kitsune that stopped him from claiming his prize. “Who the hell are you?”

 

Youko's eyes became harder as he watched Kagome and Inuyasha make their way to Selena checking her injuries. His eyes were emotionless as he answered the tiger. “I am Youko Kurama.”

 

“You're lying Youko Kurama is dead.”

 

He smirked as he advanced his death tree on the ignorant demon. “You're going to wish you were dead cat.” The trees full attention was on its prey waiting for it to move as Youko watched the tiger glance between him and his sword. When he moved to reached for it a mouth grabbed each arm letting the acid slowly melt them until the finally ripped them from his body. His screams of pain were excruciating and he reveled in them, but the desire to treat Selena won over as he ordered the plant to kill him. When he reached her he saw the claw marks on her back that ran from the right shoulder to the left hip as well as several smaller cuts. Taking a few seeds he scattered them on her back creating a leaf bandage to stop the bleeding. He gently gathered her in his arms and started walking to the east.

 

“Youko where are you taking Selena?” asked Kagome.

 

“I will care for her myself,” he said and disappeared into the trees.

 

Kagome watched as he left with her sister held protectively in his grasp. “Take care of her Kurama,” she whispered. She looked up to see Inuyasha watching them as well and knew he was worried about Selena's wounds. “She'll be alright Inuyasha, Kurama will take care of her.”

 

“I know he will,” `although I doubt very seriously though that she'll come back unmated,' he thought with a grin.

 

Youko knew that between her miko and demon powers that the wounds would heal in no time. He held her bridal style racing towards his own den that was just as well hidden, as Selena's own. A dense forest came into view as he made his way through the many death trees he had planted until coming to a wall of trees and vines. The wall parted slightly allowing him passage to a large estate that was on the other side. When coming through the trees you could see that it was actually surrounded completely by the forest that was infested with his man-eating plants. It had been several months since he'd been here last and admitted to himself he was glad to be home. He carried Selena through empty halls until he stopped at a beautiful door that had roses carved into the wood. The room was painted a soft blue and on one wall was a mural of the forest at dusk with the stars coming out. In the center of the room was a large bed with deep blue silk sheets and a nightstand beside it with a light shaped like a tulip on top. He gently laid her down on her stomach so that he could examine her wounds. After shredding her top to get a better look he noticed that the flesh was already healing.

 

Selena woke to the feel of something warm touching her back and winced at the soreness. She opened her eyes slightly to see she was in a strange room, but didn't try to get up. The feel of claws caressing her back made her stiffen slightly and growl in warning as she turned to see who was touching her. After seeing who it was she just groaned and laid back down once more closing her eyes. The next morning she woke
up to an empty room and her own hunger. She crawled out of bed and noticed that her clothes had been removed. As you can probably imagine she was not happy about this and wrapped a sheet to cover herself while looking around for some clothes to wear. In a corner was a beautifully crafted oak chest where she found a few of Youko's tunics and quickly dressed herself. She looked into a nearby mirror and sighed, “oh well it'll have to do for now.”

 

Youko was getting hungry and decided to make something to eat for him and Selena knowing she would be hungry soon. `She's awake already,' he thought as he made his way back to her. He opened the door and looked up to see her wearing one of his tunics. It was large on her small frame falling just above her knees and showed her toned legs and arms to perfection. Around her waist was one of his belts wrapped tightly to keep the front closed, but still showed off her slim waist and the fullness of her breasts. His blood heated at the sight of her wearing his clothes and the way she backed away slightly from him in nervousness. She looked absolutely gorgeous in his eyes with her hair in disarray and her ears twitching at every sound. He walked calmly into the room setting the tray he carried onto a small table underneath a window and sat down watching the vixen. “You must be hungry Selena come and eat,” he said. She sat down and they ate in comfortable silence.

 

“Where are we Youko?” she asked while eating some of the fresh fruit.

 

“In my home of course,” he said as if it were obvious. “When you're finished I want to check your wounds to make sure they're healed.” He almost chuckled as her eyes widened and she blushed slightly.

 

“That's not necessary Youko they are already healed. Thank you though for caring for me.” She turned to look out the window staring at the beautiful gardens. So caught up in the view she didn't notice that Youko had moved to sit behind her until she felt his hands on her shoulders making her jump slightly. His chuckle made her turn slightly to scowl at him. “What do you think you are doing?”

 

“I'm going to check your wounds and I don't want any arguments.” His hands wound themselves around her waist to untie the belt while pulling her back flush with his chest. Her whole body was stiff as she swatted his hands trying to get him to leave her alone. He couldn't contain the growl of warning that came forth commanding her obedience.

 

Selena was growling her displeasure at Youko trying to remove her clothing and tried to pull his hands away. “I'm fine Youko. Please just leave me be. We need to get going soon so I can get what I came for.” She was relieved when he stopped not noticing that the belt was undone.

 

He leaned in to smell her wonderful scent as his claws trailed up her arms to her shoulders making her shiver. His right hand moved across her back to pull her hair out of the way exposing one side of her neck. The vixen was getting ready to start fighting or bolt possibly both. She had been running from him for centuries and he knew her well. “Let me check your wounds Selena,” he whispered in her ear. “I'm not letting you leave until I know you're healed.” Her frustration was evident before she bowed her head in defeat.

 

He would keep his word of not letting her go she knew that. Finally accepting her fate she relented. She felt his claws grasp the material round her neck and slowly pull it over her shoulders revealing her flesh. She grasped some of the material keeping her breasts covered as he examined her back. The feel of his claws on her skin sent shivers throughout her body. “I told you it was fine,” she said looking over her shoulder only to see him looking at her intensely. His eyes were burning with desire and she started to move away, but his arm tightened around her waist.

 

He ran his claws along her fully healed flesh enjoying the shiver that ran through her body. Her voice was soft as she told him once more she was fine. The desire he felt for her was unmatched as he looked up and gazed into her eyes. She was trying to put distance between them again, but he tightened his grip with his right arm. His left hand cupped her cheek making her look at him as he captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Her lips were soft and warm as his tongue glided over her bottom lip seeking entrance. She hesitated at first before opening enough for him to do as he pleased. His lust increased as he tasted her and felt her respond to him. He pulled back slightly before picking her up bridal style and bringing her to the bed. She was nervous, but he could smell her arousal as well even though she was fighting it. He laid down next to her while gently kissing her neck and letting his left hand lightly roam her body. The soft moans that escaped her encouraged him as he pulled away the material covering her breasts. He kissed his way down her body taking one mound hungrily into his mouth while teasing her other breast for a moment before lowering his hand to tease her womanhood instead. Her body arched as it was brought to life for the first time in centuries. Youko felt her claws in his hair as she pulled him closer to her body and then felt as she reached higher rubbing his ears making him growl in pleasure. His eyes watched her as she writhed beneath him nearly snapping his control. He moved lower lightly dragging his claws down her body as he moved to her womanhood spreading her thighs wider to accept him. Selena was completely lost to the feelings Youko was torturing her with. The feel of his claws gliding across her skin sent shivers of pleasure throughout her body. He knew she was very close to her release, as he tasted her. She gasped and fisted her hands in the sheets as he pleasured her until she screamed. He couldn't hold out any longer as his member throbbed with need. After shedding his clothes quickly he kissed his way back up her body and captured her lips once more. He let her feel his need and she bucked her hips trying to get closer. His fangs traced her ears as she ran her claws down his back. “No more running Selena. You're mine now,” he said huskily in her ear and thrust into her body making her cry out. He started out with long slow strokes that quickly increased as desire took over them. The small moans and whimpers that came from his lover only encouraged him as he reveled in the feel of her body. She was close to her release he could feel it as he thrust into her harder demanding he submission. He was nearing his as well when he felt her walls contract around his length and cry out he let go and went over the edge with her. He growled his triumph of claiming his mate and bent down with his fangs elongated sinking them into her flesh between her neck and shoulder marking her as his mate. His soul felt elation as she marked him as well. The blood from the wounds were licked clean before Youko fell to his side holding Selena close to his body. He let his claws run through her hair in a calming motion coaxing his new mate into a light sleep while wrapping his tail around her protectively. `Finally after so long she is mine,' he thought before slipping into a light sleep with her.
