Koga and Ayame stood there in shock; it was rarely heard of for any being with demonic blood to openly attack their mate, half-breeds or not.
"What did you do to provoke such an action from him?" Koga asked accusingly.
Kikyo glared at him before she replied, "I did nothing to him. I simply woke up to find myself as a full human and then he woke, sniffed the air, and then his eyes began to change to that blood red color. He spoke something about that wretched bitc..."
"Don't you dare finish that comment." Koga warned as Ayame growled in agreement. Yes Kagome was considered Lord Sesshoumaru's Bitch now, but she didn't know that and was attempting to insult their dear friend.
"Why does everyone always feel the need to defend her? What is so special about her? Why is she more important than me? She is my reincarnation after all." she retorted heatedly.
Surprisingly Ayame was the one to speak to Kagome's defense first, "She remains unbiased and forgives those that have done wrong deeds towards her and the ones she chooses to protect and call friends. No matter what you ever did to her; she still has enough love and respect for you, that she holds no ill will towards you. She doesn't hold that mistrust and hatred to demons that almost all humans, including yourself Priestess, hold for our species. She wishes to love and have peace between all of us; verses the hate and anger which there is now. She is the one that would be on the front line of a war trying to stop it to the very last minute, yet should her loved ones be threatened she will not think twice before protecting them to the best of her ability. Her loyal heart knows no bounds."
Koga looked to Ayame with complete shock etched on his face. 'I never knew that she thought so highly of Lady Kagome. To think I thought she hated, or at least was jealous, of Kagome because of my feelings towards her. Maybe Ayame is a good contender for being my mate after all. Ahhh! Where the hell did that come from?' he shook his head to rid it of his musings.
Kikyo just relaxed back into the bedding in defeat. "You are right demoness. Though I love Inuyasha, I can not lie by saying I wouldn't love him more if her were a human. However, I can honestly say that I did not deserve this." she said pointing to her badly beaten, yet healing body.
"We both agree with you on that Priestess, please continue to tell us what it is that transpired between you and your mate the other day." Koga asked calmly.
"Well to be more exact, it all happened four nights ago. As I said before, I woke up from my sleep only to find that I was now a human. I tried to ask my soul what sort of trickery it was, however before I could get into a deep enough meditation I felt Inuyasha stir awake. I opened my eyes and that was when I was met with red menacing eyes." she trailed off.
She closed her eyes trying to remember his exact words that night. "I remember hearing him sniff my scent and then his beast roared out, 'What did you do to Kagome? Where is my Bitch?' I told him that I was his mate and that I didn't know what he was talking about in regards to Kagome. Once that was said he started attacking me and before I knew it he was slammed to the ground when I asked him to sit down and talk to me."
"You mean you were able to use Kagome's subjugation on him?" Koga asked with a slight amusement when he heard that.
"I suppose that is what happened, but no matter Kagome is not here. How could it be her soul that entered my body four nights ago?" she asked.
"Priestess, I think it is time to inform you of the identity of the new Lady of the Western Lands. Apparently when Lady Kagome was going to return to her era, Lord Sesshoumaru took her to his palace instead. It is there that she has lived since then. Four nights ago was the Lord's and Lady's mating ceremony; it was on this night that Kagome gave herself over completely to her mate. She still holds some of her Priestess abilities but now she is a full demoness and Lady of the West." Koga stated.
"So then her human soul returned to me and made me human because of the piece of her soul that I already carried?" she asked.
"Yes and no Priestess." Ayame spoke up this time. "Though you are only human and can not scent yourself, there is a reason why Inuyasha asked what you did to Lady Kagome. When her soul entered you and turned you human, it also gave you a human scent. To be more exact it gave you her human scent."
Kikyo's eyes opened wide at that comment. 'I can't be mad with her for I know now that she will never try to take Inuyasha from me, due to the fact that she gave herself completely to Lord Sesshoumaru. However, why would she give her soul to me and why would it make me smell of her?' she wondered silently.
"Are you okay Priestess? Was there more to what Inuyasha did the other night?" Ayame asked as she noticed Kikyo close her eyes in thought of what was being said. She couldn't help but feel that there was something else, something of dire importance that they needed to know.
"I am fine Princess Ayame, and yes there is more of what Inuyasha did. Once the subjugation wore off he was even madder and charged after me with the intent to kill. I made it to a clearing, not too far from here, and that was where he attacked me all the while accusing me of harming his Bitch. Then I woke up here; I refused to let the villagers know what had happened. I wanted to be healed before they sent me on my way for mating with a half demon and contaminating my pure being."
'So Inuyasha's beast has confused feelings for Lady Kagome and Priestess Kikyo. I guess it could just be behind the fact that Kagome is Kikyo's reincarnation, though I can't help but wonder if his beast actually chose Kagome as his mate rather than Kikyo? This could be a problem, we should notify Lord Sesshoumaru of this turn of events.' Ayame thought as Koga started talking.
"We need to get you back to the Western Palace so you can speak with Lady Kagome and Lord Sesshoumaru. You should be informed that she is with pups and if the Lord feels any ill contempt or sees anything that could be considered dangerous towards his mate, he will not think twice before killing you on the spot. He will make what Inuyasha's beast did to you look like an innocent game of tag. Don't think that either Lord Sesshoumaru or I have forgotten all that you have done to Lady Kagome in the past. She may have forgiven you but we haven't."
Once everyone was in understanding and in agreement they then decided they would head out in the morning.
Sango awoke with a start when she heard a loud roar being emitted. She quickly got dressed and ran out into the hallway. Once she was outside of her room she saw Miroku already walking towards the room that the roar was emitted from.
"Miroku, do you know where that roar came from?" she asked hoping that she was wrong.
"My dearest Sango, I know you know perfectly well who and where that roar was emitted from. It was none other than the anguish cry of a desperate mother." he stated as another roar was released, but this one was more feral and full of hate.
Together they quickly took off towards the room; fearful for the demoness.
'I didn't think it possible for Lord Sesshoumaru to be so dishonorable as to attack his Mate in her sleep or even in her current condition.' Miroku thought as he and Sango quickly raced to Kagome's aid.
Upon coming to their bed chamber's door they heard a low warning growl being emitted by Lord Sesshoumaru and a menacing growl from Kagome.
'It seems that she is protecting herself for now but that is not going to stop me from trying to protect her myself.' Sango thought as she kicked open the door and barged into the room.
What they saw upon entering the room shocked and surprised them both. Sesshoumaru was covered in injuries and blood while Kagome had not one scratch on her. Miroku decided to take a second glance at the Western Lady and noticed her eyes at that moment.
'She is in a sleep trance; she is acting out her dream.' he mused.
"Get out of our bed chamber humans." Sesshoumaru growled all the while keeping his eyes on his mate.
Suddenly Kagome shot out and yelled, "You bastard; you killed my Mate and my friends, and now you have the audacity to kill my pups and try to make me yours. I WILL KILL YOU HALF-BREED!"
Everyone's blood ran cold when they heard that statement. Sesshoumaru stood there not wanting to attack his still sleeping mate, who was intending to kill him. Miroku, upon seeing Sesshoumaru wasn't going to move, left Sango's side and quickly chanted an incantation and threw a sutra at Kagome's head.
When the sutra made contact she immediately screamed in pain but then her eyes turned to normal, letting all in the room know that she was now awake. However Miroku's view of his friend was quickly obstructed by that of Sesshoumaru, who now looked ready to kill the Monk for harming his mate.
"Now please wait my Lord, I only did what I thought necessary. I know Lady Kagome would not have been able to forgive herself if she had harmed you further in her sleep trance." he quickly stated hoping the Lord would find reason with his actions.
"Love?" Kagome's voice rang out in the silence. When she finally saw him and saw that he was covered in wounds and blood she began to ask, "What has hap...why do I have your blood on my claws?" She finally cried out while dropping to the floor in a heap.
Sesshoumaru was quickly by her side and trying to reassure her that he was only mildly injured and that they would be healed soon.
"It is of no concern Love. I know it was not I with whom you were intending to harm, as you so stated that your victim had kill your mate, friends, and our pups. I can only assume that you were having another dream like the night before. Do you remember who it was this time?" he asked her softly.
"No, I am sorry. All I remember was feeling so lost, hurt, and confused. I wanted nothing more than to kill him for what he did. I felt this powerful darkness swell within with my hatred and anger towards this being. I wanted revenge for what was done to you and our pups." she cried out.
"You called him a half-breed Lady Kagome. Are you sure you don't know this half-demon, for I have never heard you speak so poorly of any being?" Miroku finally spoke up.
"What did you do to provoke such an action from him?" Koga asked accusingly.
Kikyo glared at him before she replied, "I did nothing to him. I simply woke up to find myself as a full human and then he woke, sniffed the air, and then his eyes began to change to that blood red color. He spoke something about that wretched bitc..."
"Don't you dare finish that comment." Koga warned as Ayame growled in agreement. Yes Kagome was considered Lord Sesshoumaru's Bitch now, but she didn't know that and was attempting to insult their dear friend.
