Inuyasha arrived at a small shrine in the middle of the Northern forest. He knew this was the home of the Dark Priestess that he was searching for. He remembered coming across her path on more than one occasion when she was but a little girl, some 57 years ago; before he was pinned to the Tree of Ages by Kikyo.
"Feh, the old hag owes me and she have better be alive." he growled out as he saw a young woman standing in the door way; she could be no older than 25 years old.
"Where is the old hag that lives here? Where is the Dark Priestess Karaboku?"
"First of all half-breed, there is no 'old hag' as you so nicely put it living here. Secondly Inuyasha, I am she who you seek." she stated rather annoyed.
He looked at her with confusion, 'How does she know my name?'
"I suppose you are trying to figure out how I know your name, am I right? You once came here some 57 years ago and helped a young Dark Priestess, no more than 10 years of age, from an angry mob of human. The villagers blamed her for the recent demonic attacks on their village and thought if they killed her, the demons would leave them alone." she paused as she saw him preparing to say something.
"Yeah I know, I came upon Karaboku just as the mob was going to kill her. I swooped down and grabbed her while threatening to kill them if they continued their assault on her. I understood how she felt, not being accepted for who and what she is. However, I have come to cash in her debt to me." he stated as he walked closer to the shrine and the young woman.
"Now, where is the Dark Priestess Karaboku?" he growled.
"You are looking at her Inuyasha. What, you didn't think I would live this long and not find some sort of way to maintain my youth and prolong my life as well?" she retorted smugly.
He was a little surprised to say the least. He then looked at her from head to toe, to take in her appearance and compare to the little girl he had once rescued. Her black hair was now down to her waist with waves. Her brown eyes had gold flakes within them and her skin had a nice tan look to it. On her forehead she now sported the four pointed star, the symbol of a very powerful Priestess, the blood red color of it symbolized that she was in fact a Dark Priestess.
"Why did you do such a thing? All you had to do was just mate with a demon, or half-breed at least." he sputtered.
"What, would you have me as your mate Inuyasha? I thought not. You judge me because I choose to remain young and alive instead of old and crippled, and close to death by now might I add. I have not had a man in my life and I don't need a man, or mate, now. Now what is this 'debt' that you claim I owe you?" she stated with anger thickly lacing her voice.
"If I weren't already mated I would teach you to know your place bitch, especially when you are in the presence of your superior. As for debt you DO owe me, for saving your sorry ass; I want you to make an enchanted rosary necklace to allow me to control whomever I place it upon. I want it to poison their heart; a heart that will bend to my will and desire alone. I want you to use these beads for the necklace." he stated as he held the jar that held the beads within out to her to take.
Suddenly she noticed the dark aura being emitted by the half-breed in front of her. She knew deep down that she had harbored feelings for the half-breed every since he saved her, that feeling was why she prolonged her life to remain forever young in hopes that one day they might be together.
She hated what she was about to say to him but she knew she had to lie to him. "Only a true Priestess, one not tainted in the dark arts, can enchant those beads. All I would be able to do is to enslave a weak demon to you, not a human. As for poisoning the woman's heart to bend to your wills and desire it is impossible. All I could do is possess her mind with my own, not yours. I assume the person you are looking at is none other than the Shikon Jewel Priestess, am I correct?"
He growled out his response, "It is the Shikon Priestess but you are wrong to assume that she is human. She is mated to my bastard brother and I will have you to enslave her since that is all you will be able to for me then."
He was unable to detect her lie the first time around so she could only hope that he would not sense this one as well. "I said I could enslave a WEAK demon..."
"She is a god damn weak demon, Bitch. Now do as I say before I kill you." he interrupted her. The quiet inner human voice, his voice of reason at times, quietly tried to make him see reason in what he was doing and requesting.
'Something is wrong with us, I think. We are the ones that pushed Kagome away and mated with Kikyo. Why do we care now who she mates with and why do we want her to be miserable and unhappy? I thought we loved her like a sister?' the voice tried to reason.
The dark demon growled quickly to shut up the human voice within their master's mind. His beast was not ready to give up just yet on having what he wanted.
Karaboku noticed what was happening and decided to finish her original statement. "As I was saying, I can only enslave a WEAK demon and since she was a very powerful Priestess and now mated to the most powerful demon in all of Japan; I can only assume that she is even more powerful now. It is foolish of you to assume that she would be weak. Why do you want to be in control of her anyways? She is your Alpha Bitch, isn't she?"
"She is not my Alpha anything. The wench is the reincarnation of my dead mate, therefore she is my mate now. That bastard had the nerve to get her pupped as well." he growled low but she heard him none the less.
"What? You are trying to kill your brother and take his pupped mate as yours just because you failed to protect your own mate? Get. Out. Of. Here. Before I curse you half-breed. I loath you and just so you know, my debt to you is over. I just paid it by not cleansing you dark soul once and for all." she said as she angrily marched into her shrine, all the while erecting a barrier around it in the process.
Inuyasha glared at the shrine and didn't know what to do; break down the shrine and barrier or to leave and try to find another Priestess that would help him. Finally he decided to just up and leave. 'I will find some other way to get Kagome to bend to my will.'
As he walked through the forest he slowly started to think about what the Priestess Karaboku had said, 'I wonder what she meant by not cleansing my "dark soul"? I am nothing like Naraku, the nerve of that bitch to associate me in the same category as that vile half-breed. Augh, why must I always be tormented and surrounded by Priestesses?'
After two hours of roaming, with the occasional worthless fight, he finally decided to camp for the night and decided to start planning what to do about his revenge on his brother and his pupped mate.
'What could I do to her to make her bend to my will? What would cause her to finally break and submit?' he wondered until it finally came to him. 'I will kill everyone who she holds dear to her heart; everyone who has betrayed me. If I kill her mate and her friends she will wallow in self pity and submit to me, hell the wench might even miscarry the pup since I won't help her keep it healthy while she carries it.'
With that malicious thought running steadily through his twisted mind he laid himself down for the night to rest.
Back in one of the gardens of the Western Palace, Miroku sat with a tiring Lady Kagome.
"Lady Kagome, I have to ask you something. Sango and I have unfortunately come up with a slight possible problem. We think we know who this half-breed is that is threatening your happiness." he stated rather sadly.
"Who? Who do you two believe it is? I must know." she was tired of not knowing who would want to hurt her in such a way.
"Well the only being that we could think of is Inuyasha. We all know he held some feelings for you; now whether it was because you looked like Priestess Kikyo, we don't know for sure but there were feelings none the less. But he did always get possessive of you whenever Koga, or any other male for that fact, ever came close to you." he hesitated at letting her know that Inuyasha had recently killed a few of Kagome's former suitors.
Kagome was shocked to say the least. 'How could they think that about Inuyasha?' she wondered.
"Miroku, I know you and Sango mean well but seriously this is Inuyasha we are talking about here. I mean seriously, I know he hates Sesshoumaru and feels like I have betrayed him some how. Seriously though, do you really think that he would actually kill you and Sango and force me to become his mate; let alone actually be able to kill Sesshoumaru? He has never been able to best Sesshoumaru enough in battle to actually kill him. Why do you think I was always interfering when they fought? Also if you remember the half-breed from my vision killed my pups; I don't care what you two say there is no way in hell that Inuyasha would kill innocent pups, not after the childhood he had." she finished angrily.
"Besides Monk, the half-breed in her vision had supposedly laid claim to her in the past and did not relinquish said claim when my mate and I mated; which makes me worry as to who this half-breed is. Neither I nor my mate can come up with anyone who had laid claim on her and is still alive to try and fight me for it." Sesshoumaru stated as he proceeded to calm his mate down.
"That is just it though my Lord, Inuyasha had laid claim to Lady Kagome a few times in the past. As far as Sango and I know he never took it back or relinquished it."
"Monk, that is where the demon law comes into play. To relinquish a claim that a male demon has made, said demon must either attend the demoness's mating ceremony or choose another mate. Lord Koga relinquished his claim when he attended the ceremony and..." he stopped as soon as Sango interrupted him.
"But my Lord, Inuyasha did not attend the ceremony and he was rather hostile about the whole situation, might I add." she stated defensively before she finally realized that she had just interrupted him. "My most humble apologizes for interrupting you my Lord!" she apologized with a slight bow of her head.
Sesshoumaru acknowledged and accepted her apology and proceeded to finish what he had started to say originally. "Like I was saying, Lord Koga relinquished his claim when he attended the ceremony and Inuyasha relinquished his claim that he made when he took the dead Priestess Kikyo as his mate. That is why I waited for him to do that before I took my mate as my own!" he finished by nuzzling her neck.
"I understand that my Lord, but still I can't help but wonder if Inuyasha knows of the demon laws? He was raised mostly around humans, the only demons around were always trying to kill him. I don't know if he knows that he no longer holds claim to Lady Kagome." Miroku stated.
"I understand your concern Monk but I assure you that should he try he will fail to get my mate. Even if he goes to the council to over ride the mating bond between the two of us, they would tell him the facts of the matter. Kagome is my mate now and forever when it comes to Inuyasha and whatever claim he thinks he may have on her."
"But what about her being the reincarnation of Inuyasha's dead mate, my Lord?" Sango blurted apologetically.
That however had him thinking, he had never thought of Kagome as Kikyo's reincarnation; their souls and hearts were complete opposites. However if she is the reincarnation, did that leave a loop hole for Inuyasha to try and steal her away from him? Would Kagome be punished yet again for her past incarnation's mistakes? 'I will have to look into this matter.' he thought silently.
"That's enough!" Kagome growled out. She really did hate being described as Kikyo's reincarnation, she was her own person after all. She no longer hated the dead Priestess but still there was more to her then just possibly being her reincarnation.
"My Mate is right we will all go to rest now. It has been a very long day and we all need our rest. Tomorrow morning I leave to go on patrol but I have decided that I will return by nightfall. Now with further adu my Mate and I will retire for the night."
With that said everyone went to their own rooms to rest. All were hopeful that they would no longer be plagued with the unfortunate future that was set out before them; still Miroku could not shake the image of an enraged Inuyasha with a dark aura standing over the bodies of himself, Sango, Sesshoumaru, and Kagome's pups all the while forcing Kagome to his will with a broken spirit.
'I need to go and see Lady Kaede soon, she will know if it could be Inuyasha or not.' he thought as he laid down for the night.
In the caves of the Eastern Lands, Princess Ayame, Priestess Kikyo, and Lord Koga had arrived to a cave full of sleeping wolves.
Apparently Ginta and Hakaku had failed to procure two extra rooms for the two females to rest in. Kikyo demanded that she take the one room that was ready, since she was mated and all, while Ayame and Koga were forced to the only other room left available; his room.
"Well you can have my bed Ayame, I will go and keep watch for intruders in the trees just in front of the cave." he stated rather quietly.
"None sense Koga, look your bed is big enough for the two of us to lay in. I will simply lay on the right side while you stay on the left. You haven't slept in such a long time and I can tell you are tired." she said with a hint of mischievous plotting. She has taken notice that the right side was were he always slept.
"But I sleep on the right side. Besides it would be improper for me to lay in bed with you unless you were of course my mate." he was shocked that she had even suggested that they lay together, he could hear the scandals now.
"Well I guess that leave us one option then because I Always lay on the right side as well! I guess you and I will just have to fight for the right side or mate one!" she smirked, totally over looking what he said about the improper behavior part she could really care less about the scandals that would arise about her.
Koga tired to cover his arousal that spiked at her statement but was too late for Ayame had smelt it. She strode over to the bed and laid down on his furs and proceeded to sleep on the right side.
He watched as she lowered herself to her stomach, her ass up in the air and with bad thoughts running through his mind he sadly walked to the left side and went to sleep himself.
However, within an hour of sleep both were intertwined in a lover's embrace. When morning comes they would be found with Koga on his back on the right side of the bed cradling a sleeping and contempt Ayame on his left side of his chest. Their legs were intertwined in one another it was hard to tell who's leg was whose. If anyone were to walk in and see them like this, Koga would have no choice but to mate with Ayame just so she could save face and not be called a whore or worse; loose her title and position with her pack.
