Chapter one


She watched quietly from across the battlefield as he leapt into the air, grunting as he raised his sword above his head then bringing it down with a mighty swing. She smiled with pride when he destroyed his opponent with such ease. She continued watching as he turned to face her, a glint in his eye signaling he knew exactly where her thoughts had been. She could feel the subtle heat on her face signaling that her cheeks showed her embarrassment of being caught and sighed before standing and turning to walk away, the sway of her summer dress enrapturing the man she was just watching. Faintly an inhuman growl could be heard throughout the now empty field, before a faint 'keh' signaled a certain demons fondness of his mate.


Kagome sighed as she watched her sensei go over another "important" safety rule. It was like he purposely decided to make learning boring. Since it was also first period she didn't exactly feel the want to learn in the first place, not even her favorite subject. Chemistry has always been an interesting subject to her ever since she was a child. This year though she unfortunately decided to take the honors course, expecting to experiment with dangerous chemicals and possibly blowing up the school, but of course she was stuck memorizing where the fire extinguisher was.

Letting out another sigh she promptly stretched her back thrusting her chest in the air as she arched backwards, forgetting where she was for a moment before feeling a slight jab to her ribs. Grunting in shock more than pain she looked at her attacker with a fierce glare before sticking her tongue out. Sango smirked before pointing to a table of teenage boys looking at her like she was nothing more than a piece of meat. She then turned to gag as the pungent scent of arousal hit her like a pile of bricks. She could hear Sango laughing and feel the curious stares of her classmates as she tried to pull herself together. Yup it's official, she hated chemistry.

After ten minutes of reassuring her sensei that she was okay, she spent the rest of class dossing off and murmuring incoherent words, mostly having to do with strawberry pocky and Shippo being a little thief and stealing it, which was probably not much of a dream but a memory, that kid had a bit of a sweet tooth. The bell shrilled waking Kagome with a start. She yawned and flicked her tongue over her hidden fangs before turning to Sango who was just finishing the same; she smiled at her before inclining her head signaling for her to follow. They walked through the halls chatting absentmindedly about plans for later tonight when Kagome was bumped harshly on the shoulder by a passerby. She growled a very un-lady like growl and turned to give this person a piece of her mind.

"Look, I know it's crowded, but you could have at least said sorry!" Kagome called after the retreating slender body that was obviously owned by a woman. Said woman turned around and gave Kagome a sneer before promptly flipping her off and turning to walk away.

"Oh hell no…" Kagome huffed before leaving Sango to talk to herself, while she walked heatedly after the rude woman and roughly grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face her. Recognition probably shown in Kagome's eyes but her face only displayed irritation. "I understand that you probably have an appointment with a boy and a janitor's closet that you must attend to but I believe that manners shouldn't be ignored." Kikyou stood stock still, her eyes as well as her scent giving away her rage, while her face showed nothing. "If you're looking for an apology then you're not getting one, I don't apologize to people like you." Kagome watched as she turned to leave and was about to grab her to introduce her to her fist before a hand grabbed her arm and dragged her away.

"Hey, let go!" she yelled while struggling to get her arm free, she turned her head in an awkward angle to see her capturer, silver met gold and she growled. "Inuyasha" she stated, before roughly pulling her arm free, she heard him growl 'bitch'. She smiled and growled 'Alpha' then turned and trotted along, instinctively swaying her hips knowing he would be watching. Before she knew it she was flying through the hallways with arms encircling her safely, she laid her head against the familiar masculine chest and purred her contentment. Before she knew it she could smell the fresh air and upon opening her eyes she recognized her surroundings as the path to her and Inuyasha's sanctuary.

These sanctuaries were designated for all teenage intended mates whom needed to reestablish the courtship mark that binds them together until the actual mating takes place. It was a safe place with a barrier keeping out any demon or demons that could harm them while the reestablishing was taking place, millions of these sanctuaries could be found throughout the land, and each had been built for a certain pair. The one Kagome and Inuyasha were reaching now was theirs, and only they could enter it.

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha as they slowed to a stop. His gold eyes were lined with red and his blunt human teeth switched to elongating fangs then back again with each second that past. Kagome then reached up and untied the seal from around his neck and retied it around hers. She studied him better and smiled up at his true form, his red eyes, normally gold, showed his need, while his calm face showed he was content with her. His silver hair shown bright and the puppy ears upon his head twitched when she sighed softly. She smiled wider at that and reached up to touch him, not even noticing the slight familiar tingle of entering the barrier as Inuyasha carried them to the cave that had been hallowed out for them.

She traced the jagged magenta marks that lined his cheeks and slowly let her hand trail up to his ears and she softly rubbed them, earning her a gentle purring sound coming from within his chest. She giggled when he dipped his head to nudge her chin in affection. He then brought his face up to examine hers his eyes stilled when they reached her lips. She watched him intently, her tongue flicking over her lips showing her acceptance to his silent request. He dipped down and grazed her lips with his before slowly adding more pressure.

The kiss was passionate and ended too fast for her liking. When he drew back his eyes shifted back to gold for split second before reassuming the blood red color. She watched his eyes shift to her neck and glaring menacingly at the two seals that adorned it. She then reached up and slid them off before flinging them to the opposite side of the cave. She watched his eyes glow as her true form and scent were freed. Her eyes the same color of silver, her hair grew in length and curled beautifully at the ends, she filled out her clothes tighter in certain areas, although her face adorned the same magenta jagged stripes as her intended. Her ears were also "puppied" and sat pointedly on top her head.

Inuyasha growled his approval then reached down and slipped her shirt off her shoulder and leaned his head down and sniffed long and hard. Kagome sat still only letting a quiet whimper when she felt fangs puncture her skin in just the right place. Rough strong hand encircled her waist in comfort. After what seemed like too soon, Inuyasha released her from his jaws and then moved his hands to grab both of her legs to wrap around his waist. Facing him, Kagome unbuttoned his shirt and slid it off his person. She took a minute to admire the man in front of her, he was well built and every breath he took she could see his muscles clench and release, she looked up into his eyes and saw the cockiness of a demon that knows his bitch liked what she saw and then she proceeded to blush. She shifted in his lap earning a hiss from Inuyasha as a certain area was rubbed against. If even possible she blushed more. She moved his silver locks to the side and sniffed and licked his neck before slowly pushing her fangs into her fading claim mark and lapped at the blood that spilled from the wound, simultaneous growls 'mine' echoed throughout the cave.

A bright light flashed and dimmed and gold and silver met once again. A smirk on Inuyasha's face and a blush on her own showed after her eyes adjusted as she slowly redressed him, slightly disappointed that the beautiful sculpture was going to be covered from her wanting eyes. He wrapped his arms around her body and held her there for was seemed like only a few minutes, but what was probably hours, he then stood up and fixed both his and her clothes. She walked to the spot where she threw the seals and handed him his before retying hers around her neck.

Inuyasha came up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist and leaning down towards her ear "Don't you ever challenge my dominance in a public place again or I'll do worse than just reestablish my position in our pack." Kagome blushed and leaned her head to the side, exposing her neck to him in a sign of submission. Inuyasha then nipped her neck in approval and released her from his hold.

Inuyasha looked at her with a look she recognized and pulled her back into his arms before dashing out of the cave and into the forest that covered the area. He held her tight and possessively and she smiled. She loved him; there was no doubt about it. He loved her; she could see it in his actions and in his eyes. She had loved him ever since she first met him, and that's saying something since they met when they were pups. That's how dog demons worked. When they are born, they are born with marks that will match their designated mates; these mates were chosen by the gods themselves and were meant to "complete" the soul of the two separate demons, or demon and human.

The only difference between two demons mating and a demon and human mating is that the humans are not aware of what's going on. Lucky for Kagome and Inuyasha they were both full demon and well aware of their feelings and instincts. The demon usually has to work their tail off in order to get the human to "fall in love" with them. Then when that happens the demon must slowly ease the human into the demon world. When the human finally becomes comfortable with the situation the mating can be completed, The human mother or father then becomes part of the pack. Sooner or later a hanyou pup is born. Hanyou's are uncommon but not unusual, and are taken into the pack just as easily as a full demon pup. Honestly who would go against the god's wishes?

It's said that when intended mates finish the mating ritual they become stronger in every aspect and share a bond that no one could ever destroy. Kagome smiled softly at the thought of her and Inuyasha having this connection. 'Two more years…' she counted down the days.

"hey bitch whatcha smilin' about?" Inuyasha inquired.

"I was thinking that we only have two more years until we can fully mate." Kagome said softly, smiling still.

Inuyasha stopped and looked down at her before leaning down and capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.

"I was hoping it was sooner" he whispered against her lips before continuing to run back towards the high school where their friends and pack mates awaited them for lunch.
