Chapter 3
The Six Steps of Mating
With all this talk of mates and mating now, everyone was interested, even Shippou and Kirara. Everyone was crowding around Tsume, and they were all listening intently to what she had to say.
Turning to Inu Yasha, Tsume said, "Inu Yasha, what was the first thing you did when you met Kagome?" Inu Yasha shifted a bit, fidgeting. "I, er, tried to kill her," he said quietly.
Tsume blinked, "You tried to *ahem* KILL her???"
Inu Yasha gave a barely perceptible nod.
Tsume shook her head to clear away the thoughts that were passing through her mind at the moment. Looking back to the inu hanyou, she said, "Erm.... WHY????"
Inu Yasha shifted again. "I... er... thought she was someone else," he replied, still talking quietly. Tsume quirked an eyebrow, but didn't say anything about it. Sighing, she said, "Oooookay, well what did you do AFTER you tried to kill her?"
The Inu hanyou's eyes drew together, trying to remember exactly what happened that day. "Well, after I found out that she wasn't who I thought she was, I attacked her *ahem* trying to get the jewel, but she subdued me, and that's about it really."
Tsume sighed, he didn't know ANYTHING about mating, so she hadn't really expected to tell her what had REALLY happened and what he did ((*cough* yes she did.)).
"Okay, well, HOW did you know she wasn't who you thought she was?"
Inu Yasha snorted, "Well duh, stupid wench. I sniffed her and checked her scent....." He trailed off at the stares he was getting from Sango and Shippou.
"Well what the fuck are you two staring at?" Inu Yasha snapped irritatedly at them. Sango smirked at the corners of her mouth and Shippou just grinned all out. Inu Yasha huffed, not really knowing what they were smiling about.
Tsume smiled kindly at the dog hanyou, "Nothing. Anyway, you two started traveling together, right?" Inu Yasha growled at Tsume, not really knowing what she was getting at, "Yeah, that's right wench, what about it?" Tsume's smile grew even wider, as did Sango's and Shippou's.
Sango snicker, "I can't believe I didn't realize this before." Shippou looked at Tsume, his smile gone and his face mirroring confusion.
"But how do you know about it?" he asked.
Sango giggled, "I'm a taiji-ya, remember? I had to learn about this stuff before I was ever even allowed to go and slay any demons with the rest of my fellow exterminators."
Shippou nodded in understanding, "Okay then." Inu Yasha started growling, and was getting annoyed last. "Well what the fuck are you people talking about, dammit?!" The ookami looked at Inu Yasha,"There are six steps in mating when a youkai or hanyou finds a potential mate."
Inu Yasha stopped growling and quirked an eyebrow, "And those would be.....?"
Tsume sighed ((she's been doing alot of that lately, hasn't she? lol)), "The first step in the mating process is a scent. You sniff them. You memorize their scent and engrave it into your memory."
Tsume smiled at Inu Yasha and decided to tease him a bit, "Tell me Inu Yasha, what is Kagome's scent smell like?" Inu Yasha looked down and muttered something under his breath.
"Eh? What was that? Can't hear you Dog-Boy." Inu Yasha shifted and said, "Vanilla and a little bit of cinnamin." Kagome's eyes widened and Inu Yasha just sat there looking down.
Shippou and Sango looked over at Tsume, expecting her to tell everyone what happened when a male scents a potential mate. Tsume raised an eyebrow at them and barely shook her head.
She would embarass Inu Yasha, but to tell everyone what had probably happened would be too much for the poor Inu.
She would not say aloud about a certain body part that reacted to it ((*coughs and hits Dawn* Sukebe baka, and yes, I KNOW that was NOT in my rough draft)). Snickering in her head, Tsume decided to finish up about mates:
"The next step is traveling or spending alot of time together. When one of the pair goes away, the other one will feel a great pain inside themself. If it is a mixed pair, like Human/Youkai, then only the youkai will feel the pain."
Kagome's eyes widened and Inu Yasha suddenly became very intrested in the floor. So THAT was why Inu Yasha hated it when she went away, because it hurt! Kagome felt sorry for him, and decided that when she left, she wouldn't stay away as long as she did sometimes, or maybe just bring him along.
And Tsume continued, "The third step is that the male will become excessively possive and protectful of the female when she is around any other males or even just other people.
“The forth step is watching the potential mate sleep. Either only one or even both will do this."
Inu Yasha shifted again ((wow! He's shifting as much as Tsume is sighing today, huh? lol)), thinking about all the times he had spent watching Kagome sleep at night.
Tsume totally ignored this and was just rattling away, "Sometimes the fith step is hard to get to. Especially for certain youkai who are just plain cold, or even if they are nice, and they just had...." Tsume paused, searching for the right words.
After a moment, she started talking again. "Well, let's just put it this way. The Youkai/Hanyou would have had a traumatization, and would be afraid to let someone in. The potentail mate would have had something bad happen to him or her...." Tsume paused thoughtfully. Shaking her head, she continued, "Anyway, the fith step is excessive closefulness, like hugging or kissing."
Tsume paused and grinned at everone, "And I hope you all know what the last step is. It's where the mate is actually claimed. During the first climax of sex, or an orgasm (Tsume ignored the shrieks of laughter and the coughs of embarassment that went through the hut), the mate is marked with the youkai's certain mark. The marks vary from species to species, so I'm not sure what all kinds of marks are given from other types, but the wolf mark is two claw marks from the bottom of the left side of the neck. The mate is always marked on the neck to show the trust for each other."
Shippou took this pause for breath to butt in. "My Otou-san showed me what the kitsune mark was. He showed me the one that my birth Okaa-san gave to him when they mated." He tugged down the collar of his shirt. "It's a circular bite! Right here!" he said, pointing the the junction of his left shoulder where the neck meets the shoulder, and made a circular shape with his own little claw. Tsume smiled and giggled, "Great! I'll remember that for future reference."
Inu Yasha shifted ((Oh my!!! Mom! He did it again! lol)) uncomfortably and mumbled something, and Tsume's wolf ears quivered. "Eh? What's ther Inu Yasha? Didn't quite catch it there," Tsume teased. ((poor Inu-chan, he's being so abused in this chapter)).
Inu Yasha glared at the wolf hanyou, knowing full well that she could hear him, "I said that the dog demon mark is a bite on the neck where the shoulder and the neck meets. You know, where Shippou was pointing to earlier. That joint."
Tsume grinned lightly, "So I take it you know this from experience?" Inu Yasha turned red as a poppy and mumbled something again. Kagome felt her stomach fall. 'No' she thought miserably, 'he and Kikyou were mates then, weren't they?' Tsume's laughter suddenly jolted her out of her thoughts.
"You're too much like Shippou than you like to admit, aren't you, little Inu-chan?" Inu Yasha growled, "FEH! Whatever bitch! I am NOT like that little runt!!!" Tsume snickered, "Well, both of you DID learn about the marks from your parents, ne?" Inu Yasha gave Tsume a heated glare that could have melted ice.
Kagome felt a wave of relief wash over her and she sighed. 'Few,' she thought. Nothing else really eventful happened that night..... well..... until right about dawn that is.....
