Chapter 9: Control

 

Youko woke to the delightful feeling of a warm body squirming against him. Groaning softly, the kitsune opened his eyes only to be momentarily confused. There, sitting in his lap was a beautiful hanyou. Her hair had grown a few inches longer and black kitsune ears sat atop her head, twitching slightly at every sound. Kagome hadn't changed much physically and Youko was happy about that. He liked her exactly the way she looked as a human and he was relieved to find the only difference was her ears.

 

Aside from her physical change, her aura had also changed slightly. It still felt as pure as it had before, but now possessed a tinge of demonic ki. She shifted again and Youko was reminded of why he had woken up in the first place. The kitsune felt blood rush to his lower region as his potential mate once again shifted against him. Mating season was already next week and Youko cursed his terrible luck.

 

Now that Kagome was a hanyou, she would also feel the effects of mating season and he wasn't sure if the miko turned hanyou would be able to control herself. Seeing as she had no prior practice at resisting such temptations, Youko worried how this would turn out. He knew for a fact that he wanted to at least wait until after mating season until he mated with Kagome… that is if she accepted him as her mate.

 

His mind wondering to that particular topic, Youko remembered that he had placed his claim on Kagome… without her consent. Of course, it was a life or death situation so he had no choice but if it had been different, Youko would have waited for her to agree before placing his claim mark on her. He now worried what she would think when she woke and not only found out that she was no longer human and had lost her miko powers that she had been working so hard to perfect but also was marked by him as his potential mate.

 

She shifted again, this time her perfect backside brushing against his crotch and a growl pushed through ground teeth as he did his best not to give in to his instincts. Trying to take his mind off of his urges, Youko thought of how both he and Kagome were going to deal with the next two months. Maybe Kagome could go back to her time for a while.

 

Now that they knew Kagome had just been dreaming of Naraku killing her family, she would probably be even more at ease to actually see them alive with her own eyes. The herbs he mixed to help her heal just may have had some effect on her. Perhaps it had something to do with her miko abilities. Back to the original train of thought…Kagome had told him there were no demons in her time so she would be safe not only from any threats to her life but also any threats to steal her purity.

 

Speaking of stealing purity, a snarl rumbled in Youko's chest as he thought of the many other demons in this time that held some kind of feelings for his potential mate. He dreaded the thought of what would happen if Kouga happened to stop by. During mating season, if a demon was attracted to a human, it was a little easier to suppress his urges. Now if the individual they were interested in possessed any demon blood at all, it was far more difficult to resist. If Kouga even touched Kagome…

 

The growl that rumbled in his chest this time around seemed to rouse Kagome from her sleep. She yawned and stretched, nearly falling off Youko's lap and the branch they were sitting on. Youko wrapped his arms tighter around Kagome and she jumped slightly. The kitsune watched the hanyou in amusement as she looked around in confusion.

 

Kagome stared down at the ground in confusion. Was she sitting in a tree? Wasn't she supposed to be dead? Kagome moved to lean forward only to be stopped by a pair of strong arms around her waist. A smile grazed her lips as she realized she was also sitting in someone's lap. There was only one person, or should she say demon, that liked her sleeping in his lap and that one demon must be the individual that saved her last night.

 

Kagome leaned back comfortably against Youko's chest and turned her face up so she could see that ever perfect smirk on his face. His wonderful scent was stronger for some reason but the miko didn't think much of it at the moment. “Good morning.”

 

His smirk faded as his face turned serious. “Don't speak too soon.” He said softly.

 

Kagome stared at his with confused brown eyes. “What do you mean? I'm alive, I'm guessing thanks to you, so how could this not be a good morning?”

 

Youko frowned as his gaze fell to the ground. “You lost a lot of blood last night Kagome…”

 

“I'm not surprised, I was sure that I wouldn't wake up this morning.”

 

Youko rolled his eyes at her attempt to joke around with this matter. “This is serious Kagome.”

 

“Ok, I'm sorry. So since I lost so much blood, I'm sure that Kaede used all the supplies I had in my bag to give me blood?”

 

“Yes, but you had lost so much blood that we didn't have enough to give you. Miroku couldn't give you enough to save you.”

 

Kagome began to worry but was more confused than anything. “So what exactly happened last night? How did you guys save me?”

 

“I offered to give you some of my blood because I refused to let you die, but Kaede said that your miko blood and my demon blood wouldn't mix correctly and could possibly injure you further.” Youko explained.

 

Kagome nodded, waiting for him to continue.

 

“Sango had said that if I placed a claim on you, then your body would recognize my blood and accept it, therefore we could save you…but at a price.” Youko said the last part in a slight whisper and Kagome was surprised she heard him.

 

“So you think price for saving my life was to place a claim on me…” Kagome said, her eyes turning to an orange color. Did Youko find it that repulsing to place a claim on her?

 

Youko growled as he immediately realized she had jumped to the wrong conclusion. “No, that was not the price.” He said before reaching up and tweaking one of her ears. Kagome's eyes widened as he hands flew up to the top of her head. She grabbed her new kitsune ears and Youko was relieved to see her eyes shift from a greenish brown to bright golden.

 

“I have ears!” she grinned in excitement before her face became serious. “So… I'm a hanyou?”

 

Youko nodded, waiting for her response to that piece of information. A wide smile spread across her beautiful face as she somehow changed her position so that she was sitting facing him and threw her arms around his neck. She was laughing as she hugged him tightly. “This is so awesome! I have the powers of a kitsune hanyou and my miko powers!”

 

Youko pulled away when he heard that and stared at her in confusion. “How do you know you still have your miko powers?”

 

“Because I can feel them. They feel more powerful too.” She grinned. She suddenly felt a shocking feeling on her neck. It didn't particularly hurt, it instead made her purr in pleasure. Her hand traveled up to her neck and she felt the mark that Youko must have been talking about. Her happy smile turned sad as she avoided looking into the kitsune's eyes.

 

Youko growled once more as he gently grabbed her chin and turned her to face him. “If you are thinking that I regret placing a claim on you in order to save your life, you better think again. That wasn't how I wanted this to happen. I wanted you to willingly accept my claim before I placed it on you.”

 

Kagome stared at him with hopeful eyes. “What are you trying to say?”

 

“What I've been telling you all this time but you never seemed to believe me. I love you. I love everything about you Kagome, your personality…your body… your amazingly large heart. I want to wake up every morning to see your beautiful face. I love how accepting you are, how forgiving and caring you are to those you don't even know. If it weren't for you, I would have never found Alexis. If it weren't for you… I would have never experienced love. Kagome, I want you to bare my kits… I want you to be my mate for life.” Youko said, watching all the emotion that flashed across the miko's face.

 

She hadn't said anything for some time and he began to worry when a single tear trailed down her cheek. He was about to speak but was stopped when Kagome suddenly threw her arms around him again and pressed her lips against his. Youko stared down at Kagome with wide shocked eyes before chuckling to himself. He had never been caught off guard by a female before but he was happy Kagome finally understood how he felt.

 

She pulled away from him with a warm smile on her face. “I love you too Youko…” she whispered, staring into his golden eyes that she loved so much.

 

Not able to resist any longer, Youko wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her firmly against his chest and kissed her softly. When she returned his kiss, he deepened it and they both suddenly realized their current position. Kagome was straddling Youko's lap, their bodies pressed hard against each other. Kagome suddenly felt an unbearable urge to remove her clothing. The miko pulled away from Youko quickly as her face turned cherry red.

 

Before she could ask him anything, he chuckled and answered her silent question. “Now that you're a demon, mating season is going to affect you like it does me.”

 

“So it's normal that I just felt like taking off all my clothes!” Kagome bellowed, panicking slightly before blushing even darker than before when she realized she had yelled so loudly it echoed through the trees.

 

Youko chuckled as he felt blood rushing south once more. Just the thought of her removing any clothing made him excited. It was definitely a good idea to send Kagome to her time for a while. She would be safe and could visit her family. Pushing his lust aside, Youko removed his arms from around the miko's waist and gently held her face between his hands.

 

“Kagome, you should go home during the worst of mating season.”

 

“Why? You don't think ill be able to control myself do you.” Kagome glared at him.

 

Not wanting to argue with her, he shook his head. “It's not you I'm worried about, it's me. I don't know if I'll be able to control myself.”

 

Kagome sighed but nodded. “Alright, it'll be nice to see my family again anyway.”

 

Youko nodded, smiling but Kagome noticed it was strained. That was when she finally realized their position. She blushed crimson and leapt to her feet, surprising herself when she noticed she was now standing perfectly balanced on the branch. She smiled slightly as she looked down toward the ground. They weren't too high but if she were still human, she was positive she would probably break several bones if she fell.

 

But she wasn't a human anymore… and kitsune's were quite agile. If reckless Inuyasha can do it, then she sure as hell could too. Crouching slightly, she didn't hesitate as she leapt off the branch and flipped in the air before landing perfectly on her feet. She turned a huge grin up to Youko, who just landed next to her, staring down at her in amusement.

 

“Enjoying yourself?” he smirked.

 

“Very much so,” She smiled. “I can hear everything…smell everything! It's so… refreshing.”

 

Youko chuckled. “So you're not angry to be a hanyou?”

 

Kagome turned to the kitsune and leaned up on her tip toes as she draped her arms over his shoulders. “The real question here is if you are disappointed to be the potential mate of a hanyou?”

 

Youko wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist and pulled her flush against his body. Leaning down toward her, he brushed his lips against her ear. “I have never wanted to be with a woman so entirely until I met you and no matter what you are; human, hanyou, or miko, those feelings will never change.” He whispered in her ear.

 

Kagome shivered from the feeling of his hot breath against the sensitive skin of her new kitsune ear. Smiling softly, she kissed Youko quickly before pulling away from his grasp. “I'll race you.” the miko challenged in excitement.

 

Youko rolled his eyes. “You may be faster than you were before, but you are still only half demon. Since I'm a full demon, you haven't a chan…”

 

Before Youko could even finish his gloating, Kagome was gone. No where in sight. Smirking, the kitsune dashed off after his miko. It wasn't too difficult, Youko caught up with her when she was only several feet away from the hut. Feeling playful, if it was due to the upcoming season or just his nature he wasn't sure, the kitsune tackled Kagome to the ground. Turning so that his back ended up landing on the ground and she was lying on top of him, Youko smirked triumphantly up at the now pouting miko.

 

“You cheated.” She complained.

 

Youko chuckled. “It was actually you who cheated, love.”

 

A smile grazed her lips at hearing what Youko called her. She liked it. He called her `love' and it made her heart fill with warmth… acceptance… happiness. Kagome hoped he would call her that more often, and she wasn't even sure why she liked it so much. Maybe it was because she enjoyed the fact that someone loved her for who she was and nothing more. She had never been called anything aside from her name and wench, bitch, or miko.

 

“Get a room will ya.” They heard Inuyasha complain. Kagome rolled her eyes and leapt off of Youko, helping him to his feet once she was standing. She turned to walk into the hut only to see Inuyasha staring at her with wide eyes.

 

“Yasha, you ok?” Kagome asked, worried.

 

“You're a kitsune hanyou…”

 

“Yup, isn't it awesome? Look at my cute ears! Feel them! They're silky soft.” She purred happily.

 

Inuyasha smiled softly. “So you like being a hanyou?”

 

“Of course, there's nothing wrong with being a hanyou. We are people too Yasha.” Kagome smiled.

 

Inuyasha nodded and Kagome felt the positive energy flooding her hanyou friend's aura. She hugged him quickly before dashing into the hut, muttering about how she couldn't wait to show everyone else. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at his best friend's antics before turning a serious look toward Youko.

 

“She's my best friend. If you hurt her, I'll kill you.”

 

“No need to worry Inuyasha. Just be happy the wolf didn't get to her before I did.”

 

Inuyasha snorted in agreement before following his friend into the hut, Youko right behind him. Upon entering the hut, they nearly laughed at the sight before them. Kagome was doing her best to escape her excited friends. Sango, Shippo, and Alexis were trying to catch the miko so they could touch her ears since Inuyasha and Youko would probably bite their heads off if they even got within a foot of their sensitive ears.

 

“Guys! They hurt, please don't touch them!” Kagome whined and Inuyasha chuckled.

 

“Now you know how I feel when you yank on my ears wench!”

 

Kagome pouted as she darted over to Youko. She buried her face against his chest and grinned to herself when she heard sighed of irritation and disappointment. Youko chuckled softly and Kagome turned her grin up to him before placing a quick kiss on his cheek and turning her attention back to her friends.

 

“I have to go back to my time for the worst of mating season.” Kagome informed, blushing slightly at the knowing smirk that spread across Miroku's face.

 

“Don't think you would be able to control yourself Kagome?” Miroku teased.

 

Kagome glared at him. “No, I don't think I have the will power. Mating season hasn't even started and I already feel like jumping Youko…” she muttered the last part under her breath even though she was sure everyone heard her.

 

“But how will it help for you to go back to your time?” Shippo asked.

 

“Because there aren't any demons in my time. Humans are easier to resist than demons.” Kagome explained.

 

“How long will you be gone?” Alexis asked, hopping up onto the miko's shoulder to hug her.

 

“At the most a month. That's about how long the strongest of the season will last.” Inuyasha answered that question.

 

Kagome nodded. “When will I need to leave?”

 

“In about two weeks.” Youko informed.

 

Kagome sighed, “I have to deal with two weeks of this torment?” she murmured and everyone laughed at the miko's expense.

 

“So I'm going to guess that you accepted Youko's claim?” Miroku asked, curious.

 

Kagome smiled and nodded as she leaned back against the kitsune's chest, her eyes a deep violet. Sango smiled with longing in her eyes as Youko wrapped his arms around the miko from behind and rested his chin on her head. She glanced toward Miroku for a moment before averting her eyes. Youko caught the glance and made note of it to use to his advantage later when Kagome was gone.

 

The next few weeks were complete torture for not only Kagome but Youko as well. All of Kagome's continuous attempts to get at him were starting to get to him. She was making it very difficult for him to stay in control. There was one morning that he actually woke up to Kagome straddling his hips and kissing his neck. He had to take a dive in a cold river after that encounter.

 

The time for Kagome to leave had finally arrived and everyone was surprisingly relieved. No one had ever seen Kagome so frisky and it eventually got so bad that Sango had to actually tie her friend up at night so she wouldn't attack anyone in her blind lust. It was much safer for the miko in her time where she wouldn't be tempted by Youko. Not to mention Youko could have a break to breath for a few weeks.

 

Everyone was now gathered around the Bone Eaters well and Kagome was pouting at them. They had once again tied her hands behind her back and the miko wasn't happy about it. Sango allowed Youko to kiss her goodbye before she pulled him away. Moving quickly, Miroku unbound her hands and Sango pushed her friend into the well.

 

Having never seen Kagome go back to her time before, he almost tore the taijiya's head off when she shoved his to be mate into the well. He was at the edge of the well in seconds, looking for Kagome at the bottom only to find it completely empty. He sighed in relief but found it hard to tear his gaze away from the well. He felt an empty feeling begin to overcome his relief and was confused.

 

“You miss her, that's the emptiness is.” Sango laughed, recognizing his facial expression.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome sighed as she stared at the roof above her head. A pout slowly formed on her face as her mind immediately wandered to Youko. She missed the kitsune already. Shaking those thought from her head, she climbed up the ladder and skipped into the house.

 

“Mama, Grandpa, Souta! I'm home!”

 

Souta came running from no where and slammed into her, hugging his sister fiercely. When he turned his huge grin up to her, his eyes widened as he stared at the abnormal ears on top her head. Excitement filled her little brother as he bounced up and down talking a mile a minute.

 

“You're a demon!! That's so cool! What happened? How'd it happen? Did you almost die?! What kind of demon are you! Can I be a demon?! Sis come one come on! Tell me tell me!!!”

 

Kagome laughed as she placed her hands on his shoulders to hold him still. “I'm a kitsune half demon, yes I almost died and a kitsune friend of mine gave me blood to save me. Since he was full kitsune, it made me hanyou. No you cannot be a demon because I said so and don't even think about pouting or asking mom.”

 

Souta grumbled under his breath as he disappeared into the kitchen to tell their mother the news about Kagome. Her mother came running into the hall, pure excitement on her face. She was in front of Kagome within seconds and was rubbing her daughter's ears.

 

“So does this mean my grandchildren will have adorable ears like these!?” she squealed in joy.

 

Kagome rolled her eyes at her mother's antics. Escaping her mother, the miko ran to her room to shower and make some plans for that night with her friends she hadn't seen for months.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

`I don't know how Yusuke possibly convinced us to come along tonight.' Kurama complained as he sunk deeper into his chair.

 

`Don't ask me, you're the imbecile that agreed. This is going to be boring for us.'

 

`Remind me to never come along to one of Yusuke's dates again.' Kurama muttered. Yusuke had somehow got him to accompany him on his date with Keiko to the movies. Even more surprising was that he got Kuwabara and Hiei to come along too. Kuwabara had brought Yukina with him and unfortunately…Kurama had allowed one of his fan girls to tag along with him. She was currently locked onto his arm and her face was buried in the sleeve of his shirt.

 

`I don't know what possessed you to actually allow that disgusting human to come along.' Hiei chuckled.

 

Kurama turned a deadly glare over to his friend. `I don't want to hear a word from you.'

 

The lights began to dim as the last of the audience entered the theatre. The girls quickly grabbed a few seats several rows in front of them. Kurama internally groaned. That was probably more of his fan club. Just wonderful.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome was so proud of herself when she finally perfected her illusion. She was able to completely conceal her ears. Unfortunately there was nothing she could do about her eyes. She just hoped no one would notice any color changes. It had taken the miko some time to get her illusion down and it ended up making them late to their movie. Thankfully though, they arrived at their theatre just as the previews were beginning.

 

Just as Kagome sat in her seat, she felt something familiar brush against her senses. Since she had arrived to her time, it was much easier for her to manage her mating season urges. For some reason, at the moment she entered the theatre, she felt her urges kick up again. Thinking it was just excitement for the movie, she pushed it aside, ignoring the best she could.

 

Almost half way through the movie, she couldn't resist the nagging feeling any longer and allowed her senses to locate the exact aura she was craving. She nearly fell out of her seat when she found and recognized the aura that her miko senses found. Smiling toward her friend next to her, she excused herself, saying she needed to use the bathroom.

 

Her friends were so into the movie that they didn't even notice that Kagome had walked up the stair toward the top instead of down to the exit. Kagome's enhanced eyesight found a handsome redhead that housed the aura she had felt. She had no doubt that her senses were wrong. That had to be him; he was just using an illusion.

 

Feeling her urges kick up a notch, she made her way toward the red head with a smirk on her face.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Hiei watched wearily as a female with an odd aura slowly made her way up the stairs toward their row. He was about to inform Kurama but realized he was already staring at the girl in curiosity. She seemed to be looking for someone. She was quite beautiful for a human and for some reason Kurama felt like ditching his current date for the oddly familiar looking girl that had now stopped at their row.

 

Her eyes landed in him but before he could see if she was truly looking at him, the girl he had brought with him to the movie had placed his face between her hands and turned his face to look at her. She smiled and was saying something along the lines of her being happy she was there with him but Kurama wasn't paying attention. He was trying to turn his gaze back to the beautiful human looking for someone.

 

Suddenly Kurama felt someone straddle his lap and a pair of arms drape over his shoulders. He pulled his face from the shocked girl that was now staring at the person in his lap and looked up to see the searching female.

 

“Hello Youko.” She purred before pressing her lips against his. Kurama stared at the girl with wide eyes.

 

`It's Kagome!' Kurama heard his counterpart yell before the girl suddenly disappeared. He looked around for her only to find that Hiei was gone and Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko, and his date were staring at him with their mouths hanging open. Leaping out of his chair, he searched out Hiei's aura. Locating it, he found Hiei outside the theatre glaring down at the girl who had attacked him. He had her pinned against a wall in the alley behind the theatre.

 

“How do you know Youko.” He snarled down at her.

 

`Get him off her! NOW!' Youko suddenly snarled in anger and Kurama didn't know what to do. The smell of arousal quickly filled the air and both Hiei and Kurama stared at the girl with lust.

 

Not able to concentrate any longer, Kagome's illusion fell and her ears were now visible. The amazingly good looking demon that had her pinned against the wall was turning her on and she didn't know what to do. She sensed Youko once more and turned her purple eyes toward the red head that was staring at her.

 

“Youko…Please get him off me… I don't know if I can control myself much longer.” She whined, doing her best to resist tackling the demon that had her pinned.

 

Youko pushed forward through his restrains in order to talk through Kurama. “Hiei, release Kagome please.” He requested calmly.

 

Once she was free, Kagome tackled Kurama to the ground, kissing him lustfully. Kurama found it hard to resist her, but with Youko's help he was able to separate himself from the hanyou.

 

Youko sighed as he stared at the miko who was trying to catch her breath. `This is Kagome. She is my mate 500 years in the past.'

 

`I'm confused.' Kurama sighed as he allowed Youko to talk through him.

 

“Kagome…I send you to your time in order to separate you from me and somehow you find me in your time as well.” He chuckled. “Trouble magnet.”

 

“It's not my fault you happened to live this long! I thought demons didn't exist in my time.” She defended herself.

 

“I think it might be safer for you to return to the past. All we need is for you to be gallivanting through the human realm raping every demon you find.”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes. “I wouldn't rape anyone.”

 

“Looks like you were trying to rape Kurama in the theatre!” Kagome turned to see a boy in black hair smirking toward them.

 

Kurama sighed as he glared toward his companion. “Yusuke, stay out of this please.”

 

“So you want me to go back to the feudal ear? I officially hate mating season.” Kagome groaned.

 

“It would be far more safe for you there. Explain to me that you found my future self and I ordered you to return. I'll understand.” Youko explained. It was weird telling his mate to give his past self a message from his future self. Technically, he was talking to himself…

 

Kagome nodded and took a deep breath before closing her eyes. Her ears disappeared and she turned her gaze back to him. “Hope you can control yourself better in the past than I can…” she muttered before darting off.

 

There was a long silence before Yusuke began laughing. “Dude! That girl was hot! Man, your date is pissed.” He chuckled

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome leapt out of the well only to find Youko standing in front of her before she even landed completely.

 

“What are you doing back.” He demanded.

 

“I found you in the future and almost raped you.” Kagome grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest.
