InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Story Continues ❯ A Threat ( Chapter 12 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Kagome was extremely content sitting in between both Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru within the backseat of the limo. They had both dropped their guises and Sesshoumaru even let her pet his Mokomoko-sama which he had attached to himself like a tail. She had always wondered it it had been a tail or a pelt, but he explained that in a way it was both. When he changed to his true form, it became his tail, but in his humanoid form, it could be discarded, worn as a pelt, or even attached. It was connected to his youki regardless. He also explained that once he reached another millennia, that his tail would split, as his father’s had done.

Inu Yasha looked over at his brother and found Sesshoumaru looking back at him as Kagome pet his tail.

‘Should we give her the courting mark now?’ he said in inu youkai, which sounded like a few yips mixed with a bark.

‘Baka! We must tell her our intentions. If we just mark her, she will be confused and possibly irate after being bit. She would probably think we were hurting her,’ Sesshoumaru growled back.

Kagome thought it was cute the way they sounded. She was surprised that she had not been weirded out by their way of talking. Obviously they had something to say to each other that was not her business. In a way, she did not like being left out, but she definitely was not going to act childish about it.

Inu Yasha turned more towards Kagome and took up her hands, leaving Sesshoumaru’s Mokomoko-sama resting in her lap.

“Kagome, I have waited a long time to say this. I’ve been a fuckin’ jerk for so long to you and it was because I was selfish. I had promised something to two people and one of them was dead. I thought I had cared enough for Kikyo, but she never trusted me, hence she never loved me. Everyday you stuck with me and it warmed my heart, opening me to trust you. I knew I loved you early on and had pushed the feelings back, replacing them with words to provoke your anger. Funny, I thought you were even sexy when you were angry as hell. I am sorry that I hurt you so many times, and I want you to know that I love you. I have loved you for so long,” Inu Yasha confessed, his eyes soft, yet searching hers for a response.

"I must explain a few things. See, your hanyou was going to ask you to be his mate as you had been sitting at the well about to leave. As for this Sesshoumaru, I took a strange interest in you. Your loyalty, power, and kindness was magnetic and still to this day has such an effect. I had been eager to ally myself with your group in order to both destroy Naraku and to investigate you. At first, I thought it some infatuation, but it was not that. Infatuation was what the pathetic ookami had. I began to realize why so many youkai had changed their ways and wanted to help you, including my own half brother. I enjoyed the witty banter between us and even the heated arguments. This Sesshoumaru agrees with the hanyou about how ravishing you tend to be in the midst of a heated argument. I fought with myself many nights as I look upon your slumbering face in the campfire light that I would not fall prey to the same fate as my father and take up a human mate. However, you have never been a normal human. You smell of immortality, not of dirt, sweat, urine, and the small lingering of death that most mortals have. As alpha male of the Shiroi inuyoukai clan, I Sesshoumaru have fallen in love with you, a miko. As my brother also has, we have agreed to invoke a clan pact to share you, that is, if you will have us," Sesshoumaru said, noting Inu Yasha holding his breath in anticipation of Kagome's answer.

Kagome gasped, taking in all that Sesshoumaru had said, her eyes wide. She remembered talking with Sango on her journey about youkai since that is what Sango had been brought up and what she mostly talked about. She had explained everything from types of demons, their social structure, and even a lot of their customs. Sango had purposely made Kagome blush throughout her own detailed version on inuyoukai mating customs. Since then, even one slight perverted thought that crossed Kagome's mind involving any of the two silver-haired inuyoukai made her blush so deep to her hair roots.

'Inuyoukai and any canine are complex. Their choices in mates depend on several key factors: scent, strength, physical attributes, and intelligence. A mate of an inuyoukai must have all four, no matter if the potential mate is youkai or human. This eliminates the possibility of producing poorly bred pups to weaken the bloodlines. It is not that they are a vain youkai, it is merely their way of ensuring survival. Courtship amongst inuyoukai can be extensive. It can range from a year to a couple years. Usually the first step, the inuyoukai issues a pledge of protection and marks the female with a courting mark. They are never truly affectionate as human courtship as they expect their potential mate to be to be aware of the seriousness of life. Now, there is some affection, but it is not as obvious, often confused. An inuyoukai does this to ensure that their potential mate will be loyal to them. It is after this is proven that after mating, an inuyoukai may be more affectionate. Male inuyoukai upon mating will bite in the space that separates the collar bone from the shoulder, drawing the blood of their mate upon the climax of their mating. The female, if worthy, will be allowed to mark the male in the same manner, thus created a permanent lifebond. Without it, the female is not connected and can be vulnerable, and can even claimed by other youkai. However, if the marking is completed by both male and female, they are bonded. If the female is human, her lifespan will match that of her mate. Occasionally, it is heard that some female humans have taken on a few youkai characteristics. Another interesting thing about inuyoukai is that they are known to share their lifemates within their pack. Usually it is a decision made by the alpha male if a lesser male has found a very strong female to mate. Rarely does the alpha allow this to occur unless the other male involved is a direct bloodline like a sibling. Rarely a father and son share a mate.'

Kagome carefully chose her words. She did indeed want them. She truly did, but she had a life. She still had college and possibly a career. She knew that if she just went through college and got married after, that she would probably not get much of a chance to work in the career she was majoring. Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha were well known in their guises and had enough money to support her, but she wanted some independence before settling down.

"I would love to be your mate, but I need to finish my studies first. I had put my life aside for searching for the shards, and despite me being immortal, I feel as one of the last things to make my mother truly happy is for me to finish school all the way. I would also like to try a career in what I’m majoring in. Once that is done, I can focus on being your mate," she finished, then looked up slowly to gauge their reaction.

"That is acceptable. I would not expect anything less from you, Kagome," Sesshoumaru smiled.

He had a feeling that she would have responded and was proud that she had spoke her wishes. She knew they could support her, but she also wanted some independence. This would give them time to know each other better.

"Would you allow us to give you courting marks?" Inu Yasha asked.

"Of course," Kagome blushed.

Sesshoumaru made eye contact with Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha nodded and then both of them pushed back Kagome’s volumous raven hair from her shoulders. They had to do it at the same exact time or the pack clause would not function. Both brothers leans in and starting kissing and nibbling on her shoulders. Kagome was shocked, but in a good way. Their lips teased her skin and a warmth spread throughout her, settling low in her stomach.

Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha smelled her scent spike, making her natural scent slightly more spicy, sending them to growl contently. To Kagome, she thought they were purring and it only made her even more turned on. Inu Yasha’s hand traveled to her breast, moulding it. Kagome gasped, arching into his touch. Sesshoumaru latched onto the other one, pinching the nipple, causing her to moan. As Inu Yasha paid homage to her breasts, Sesshoumaru’s hand flits down to her thighs, hitching her floor length dress up.

Kagome had made out with Inu Yasha, but had never gone all the way, but she knew it was Sesshoumaru’s hand that was creeping up seductively to the apex of her legs and it made her lose all coherent thought.

‘Two HOT youkai are making out with me!’

She was not sure how she could pleasure them back, but at the way they were going, it seemed she was there to sit back, moan, and enjoy the show. At that thought, she felt Sesshoumaru’s claws part her folders, being careful before experimentally plunging his elegent fingers in.

The attentions of both were overwhelming and she did admit that she was probably more sensitive than other women. She could not think straight and even tried moaning out their names, but both names somehow coagulated in her throat and bounced of of her panting lips as, “Inumaru.”

Sesshoumaru smirked, seeing and hearing her under his ministrations. He could not believe how responsive she was, but then again, Inu Yasha had told him about his make out sessions with Kagome. Still, witnessing it with his own hands was a lot different from hearing it frokm his brother’s mouth.

Inu Yasha suckled on her nipples, swirling his tongue around, but wishing he was plunging his fingers into her womanly treasures. He had agreed with Sesshoumaru that since he had already had the privilege of being that intimate with Kagome, that Sesshoumaru could have the honour of bringing her to her climax so they could mark her. And now it seemed she was about to let it go, as Sesshoumaru growled contently in inu youkai, ‘She is about to release. Damn, she is tight, squeezing me fingers!’

Kagome’s voice rang out at the height of passion and both brothers immediately clamped their fangs to each of her shoulders, marking her in the space between the collarbone and the shoulder.

Kagome’s form slumped against them, fully satiate by the brothers. Inu Yasha smiled as Sesshoumaru dragged her up and onto his lap, wrapping his Mokomoko-sama. Kagome was now marked with their courting mark, one small navy crescent moon on the left collar bone and one red crescent moon on the right collar bone.

Sesshoumaru called up to the driver through the intercom and told him to take them to her home so they could leave her there. As much as the situation was arousing to both brothers, the courting mark was for their mate- to- be, telling her that her needs came before theirs.

The ride to Kagome’s home was over half an hour, and she woke up just in time. Kagome kissed each brother and then made her way to her home, a big grin on her face.

When she arrived at her door, a note was taped to it.

‘How odd! No one’s ever taped any notes to my door before. Hmm.’

She took it down, unfolded it and read.

‘Dear Kagome:

If you are a smart girl, and I know you are, you will cease contact with the Taisho brothers, especially Seitsu or should I say, Sesshoumaru. If you do not, the consequences could prove fatal.

Yours truly,
Someone you do not want to mess with’
Kagome gasped, the note falling from her hands.

‘A threat! Not just any, but to stay away from Sesshoumaru. This person knows Seitsu and Sesshoumaru are the same person!’

Kagome fumbled for her keys and hurriedly picked up the note from the ground before entering. Once within, she saw her home filled with flowers much like when he had arrived from her summer trip. She picked up her phone and dialed Sesshoumaru’s number. The flowers were endearing, but because of the letter, she was in a panic. Whomever taped it to the door was dangerous. The phone rang a couple times before Sesshoumaru answered, “Hello, Seitsu Taisho speaking.”

“Sesshoumaru..” Kagome said her eyes tearing up as she tried to muffle a sob.

On the other side of the phone, Sesshoumaru noted her upset.

‘Is it the flowers? She just got there and we left five minutes ago.’

“Kagome, what is wrong?” he asked softly, not wanting to upset her, yet very concerned.

“Someone left a threatening note on my door! They know who you are and said for me not to see you again,” she said. “I’m not sure if I can stay here and I don’t know if the person who wrote it is still lurking. Please, can you come get me?”

Sesshoumaru looked over to Inu Yasha, noting that he had heard the whole thing. Inu Yasha instructed the driver over the limo intercom to turn around as Sesshoumaru replied, “We’re on the way. Stay in your home until one of us gets to the door.”

“Okay,” she said softly.

Sesshoumaru hung up and growled.

‘I will find out who did this!’
