InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Hidden Strength Within ❯ Chapter 18 ( Chapter 18 )

Though Miroku would have loved nothing more than to just ravish the beautiful Wolf Princess where she stood, he knew that he need to do things the right way; after all she is the Princess to the northern lands and there are protocols that need to be followed. Ever so slowly he loosened his hold on his future mate to be and started to lead her towards the campsite.

‘This is so unbelievable! I can’t believe how good my luck has turned around.’ he thought to himself. “Come Kirara we are leaving now.”

With that the three of them set off in the direction of the camp.

Ayame couldn’t help but to smile and blush every time she felt the Monk’s hand rub against he rear.

“Love if you keep this up I will have no control over my actions, but I can tell you that the courts of the north will be angry with us for the protocol will have been breached!” she stated as if she were talking about the weather verses about mating.

“As much as I so wouldn’t mind mating you right now, I do believe that it would ruin your reputation and good standing with your clan. I could never do a thing to tarnish your reputation my dear!”

Kirara jumped onto his shoulder and decided that she would help the young couple out. Every time she felt the Monk’s hand start traveling to Ayame’s rear she would stretch her claws into his shoulder; she never realized how lecherous Miroku really was until this point.

Finally within 50 feet of the campsite the three paused in their steps as Miroku could swear that he just hear someone scream out in ecstasy only to be followed by a howling noise. While Ayame and Kirara looked in the direction of the declaration knowing all to well who the young mated couple were and where they were located.

‘I hope he has no regrets about being my mate. I could see that he did have feelings for the Slayer but now that she is mated to the half-breed there is nothing left for him with her.’ her thoughts were interrupted by Miroku’s musing.

“Well it appears that we aren’t the only ones that have found love on this very night. I just hope that Inuyasha keeps Sango happy!” he stated as he turned to look at the surprise look on Ayame’s face. “I am not naïve enough to not know what direction or to whom the screams and howl came from. I am fine, I just wish my friends luck and a prosperous future is all. Come we are close to the campsite.”

Together Kirara and Ayame nodded and continue with Miroku to the campsite where Kikyo was waiting.

Once they entered the campsite they sat opposite of Kikyo around the campfire.

Ayame matched Kikyo’s glare with one of her own. ‘So this bitch thinks she wants to challenge me, than so be it. I am more than willing to kill her again; she doesn’t deserve that soul that Lady Kagome relinquished to her clay body. It’s funny how her scent still resembles that of the decaying clay pot that she was built from.’

“So Priestess Kikyo I noticed that your scent has not changed all that much but you are living now. How does it feel to know that you still smell like a decaying clay pot?” Ayame asked with a huge smirk on her lips.

Miroku had to do everything in his power not to bust out laughing at the pissed look that Kikyo was giving Ayame. ‘Oh god I do love this demoness! How long I have waited to say or hear someone else say something like that to her!’ he thought as a little chuckle left his mouth.

Ayame glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and smirked more, ‘So apparently he doesn’t care for this imposter either!’

“My scent is of no concern to me or your opinion of my scent. My mate has already accepted me for whom and what I am and nothing can change that. Once the jewel is completed Inuyasha will make a wish and turn himself human and we will live together for the rest of our human years not like an abomination like the two of you will live.” she said will pointing at Ayame and Miroku.

When he heard his mate to be start to growl and felt he aura spike he knew that he needed to calm her down. ‘Just because Inuyasha has mated with Sango doesn’t mean that he won’t take it bad if Kikyo is killed.’

“Kikyo I would rather live an unnatural life with a being that is true to herself and me than to try and force someone into a life that is not them. Though I do believe you should rethink the part about Inuyasha being your mate, call me crazy but I do believe that him and Sango have been gone for quite some time; don’t you agree?”

“That Slayer bitch will not come between Inuyasha and his promise he made to me.” Kikyo start but was cut off.

“Now you listen here Lady Sango may have gone back on her word that she promised me but even she deserves to be happy, and if being with Inuyasha will make her happy then I will fight anyone who would dare try to stop their union.” he stated quite angrily.

Sango and Inuyasha stood frozen in their tracks just behind the tree line.

‘So Miroku knows that I am now mated to Inuyasha. I’m so sorry Miroku.’ she thought sadly.

‘Why the hell is Princess Ayame here? I dare that bitch Kikyo to try and harm my mate. I will make what Naraku did to us look harmless if she does try anything.’ Inuyasha thought as he protectively pushed Sango behind him as he noticed Kikyo notching an arrow all the while looking in their direction.

“Lower your arrow bitch. You will not harm my mate now or ever.” he growled out.

She narrowed her eyes to him as she stated, “Correct me if I am wrong but you mated me not to long ago Inuyasha and as part of a dog demon you are only allowed one mate in your life span unless she dies. As you can see I am not dead but living now, so you can not take that Bitch as your mate.”

“Excuse me Priestess but you have a point there.” Ayame felt the need to speak up. “You were dead at the time that Inuyasha bedded you and if I am to assume correctly by your speech you didn’t have him mark you now did you?”

“You would be correct Wolf. I would never allow any demon or half-breed to mark me. I am a pure being and as such I can only have a pure being as my husband; that being is of course a human.”

“Well here is a little course on demon mating dos and don’ts. A demon or half-breed can bed whoever or whatever they want and any number of them and not have to claim them as a mate; it just marks them as whores. However, once a demon or half-breed has marked their intended with their mark they are mated for life, especially dogs. I do have to add that I would feel extremely sorry for the half-breed if he had mated you; having to smell decay everyday for the rest of his long life would be highly unbearable.”

Inuyasha couldn’t hold back the laugh that escaped his mouth, “You have no idea how hard it was not to gag that one time that I was with her. I had to close my eyes and think of a field of flowers just to keep myself from heaving!”

Sango growled at him, true she already that he had been with Kikyo but to hear it is a totally different story. She sent a murderous look towards Kikyo that completely read, ‘bring it on bitch!’

Before the fight could commence though, Koga entered the clearing. Everyone noticed that he was badly beaten and could barely stand.

“Ha! What the hell happened to you, flea bag?” Inuyasha laughed out.

“The real question is what the hell did you do to my woman mutt face? I left her in your capable hands and then the next time I see her she is on her own with that fox kit and kissing up to Sesshoumaru like she belongs to him? What the hell did you do to her and why is she on her own now?” Koga growled out as best as he could.

“What do you mean she was kissing up to Sesshoumaru? I will kill that bastard if he has done anything to Kagome.” Inuyasha stated possessively.

Koga finally noticed that Ayame was there and that she had a scent not of her own on her.

“Why do you smell like that lecherous monk there? If he touched you then so help me I will put an end to his lecherous life once and for all.” Koga stated as he flexed his claws in warning. ‘If I can’t have Kagome then I will be damned if I will loose Ayame to this pathetic mortal.’

“Why Koga you act like you actually give a shit about me and care what I do with my life, or is it because you have realized that you have no future with Lady Kagome so you are going to try and court me now?” Ayame stated with a knowing look.

“Yes Wolf Prince please tell us all why you have so easily given up on the Priestess Kagome, who is a demigoddess.” Naraku asked as he finally revealed himself to the gathering crowd in the clearing.

“Naraku!” everyone chimed together. Anger and hatred could be heard from everyone in that one name that rolled from their mouths as he stood their laughing at them.

‘How did he find out about Kagome?’ is all that everyone but one kept wondering.


Author’s Notes

Sorry it took so long to update. Been having too much fun with my new laptop and trying to get over the writer’s block. Though I am still having a little bit of a hard time I think I am starting to get over it now though. I am looking forward to posting the next chapter within the next few weeks but if I don’t please don’t worry I will not leave a story hanging. I hate when I come across a story I really like just to find out the author gave up on it. (they are so annoying when that happens) Any who please feel free to read and review I look forward to reading your thoughts on the story and Kagome and Sesshoumaru should be making an appearance here soon. (Remember that Kagome and Shippo were waiting for this nightfall to enter into battle with the victorious demon that will have the last three shards, if nothing else just reread chapter 16 before you read the next to freshen up your memory.) Until next time I hope you enjoy the update!!!
