Sesshomaru's Father: "Here's a quick lesson on why we are different. Please come and sit down. Come on boys, no fighting."
Once his son's sat down quietly, which wasn't for long before both started to fight again, he cleared his throat.
"The youkai of today, where evolved from their ancestors. Some youkai were even more powerful while other's power has dropped lower than even their ancestors' power. The Great North, South, East, and West houses evolved into a higher power. Most of the human race will never know that there was such a thing as a youkai. Our kind. . ."
Inu-Yasha tackled his older brother's shoulder-wrap fur, and all hell broke loose.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Stupid girl, you need to leave now!" Sesshomaru ground out with barely suppressed fury. He cracked his knuckles and his poison started to hiss from his palm. He was quickly loosing the battle with his youkai when they had started yet another fight.
Kagome swiveled swiftly in the chair, flew out of it, and marched to the door. Her shoes hit the floor with thumps. Her shinning waist length hair swayed back and forth. "You're such a jerk!" she yelled, eyes blaring anger. She balled up her fists until her nail bit into her palms. She walked out of the door in a huff, and slammed the door closed so hard she heard the door frame rattle. She quickly decided that that wasn't enough. She slammed open the door, and shouted "You could have either said bye, or walked me to the door like a gentlemen." His green whip lashed out catching her on the cheek and slashing it deeply. She slammed the door closed just in time, for if she hadn't moved back to close the door half her head would have been sliced clean off. She was so mad she didn't feel the pain as the poison ate away her skin and spread into her blood stream.
Sesshomaru leaned back on his bed as he tried to figure out what was wrong with Kagome. Feh, she was always getting mad it seemed, and almost always about trivial things. Canceling on an outing with her, or forgetting her birthday. He continued to think. It really pissed Kagome off when Sesshomaru would ignore her, while she ranted in anger. She seemed to really get mad, when he acted like every thing was beneath him. All of the youkai world knew he was a prince and he had superior powers. Thus …..the reasoning of his mind, that he was better than everything else.
The moment Kagome slammed the door closed, she turned and slammed into Sesshomaru's father. She landed flat on her butt, hair disheveled and eyes tearing. He quirked an eyebrow, took note of the sizzling cut on her cheek, and pulled Kagome to her feet. He held her arm firmly, so she couldn't pull away. He pulled her with him back into his son's room.
Opening the mahogany door the older man stepped in first and dragged Kagome after him. Sesshomaru sat straight up and his eyes immediately caught hers. His focus never left the miko's tearing green eyes. He could smell her tears and it bothered him to know that it was probably his fault that she was crying. It seemed he had something in common with his brother after all. Kagome stood quietly by the door with her head down and her bangs shielding her face.
Sesshomaru's gaze snapped to his father, when the older youkai pointed at the young girl and commanded "Fix the damage you have done." After that he father left quickly and quietly.
Kagome's tears over shadowed every other scent. So Sesshomaru didn't notice the smell of burning flesh until he heard his friend whimper and watched her fall to her knees. He rushed over to her quickly and examined her face. He was completely surprised, had he done that? There were times when he had no control over his poison whip. He was blown away and completely ashamed of himself that he lost control and had used it on her! He didn't remember doing it which was even worst.
The prince took her face into his hands and held it still. He leaned in close and focused on her mind, where he located her sleeping mechanism and activated it. She slumped into his waiting arms. Sesshomaru carried her to his bed and immediately licked the gash on her face. His healing saliva wasn't as potent as it would be until he got older or learned how to make it stronger sooner. He had slowed down the poison, and neutralized it, and then he tried to close the wound. The gash wouldn't close though. He sniffed delicately to decipher the problem. He shifted through scents until he came upon the smell of his poison strongly laced with her blood. That's when he realized his poison had actually spread and was now in her blood stream.
If he didn't act quickly, he would loose her. He ripped open her blue silk shirt all the way, so the fabric wouldn't get in the way. He blushed once he realized what he was doing. He was just following his instincts. Just above her heart, he slashed a crescent moon into her chest. On his hand he carved the same thing. Pressing his hand over the mark on her chest, he willed his blood to mingle with hers.

Everyone related to the Inu-Youkai Clan stilled and felt the familiar tug of someone activate the mating ritual.
Inu-Yasha stilled, and pulled his mouth from Kikyo's. They had been making out for a while before Inu-Yasha felt something. That familiar spot that always remained empty, was filling again, only to have the feeling fade back to emptiness.
Kikyo looked like she was getting annoyed that his mind was somewhere else instead of on her. She pulled his mouth down to hers, but he didn't respond. Sighing heavily, she asked "All right, what is it?"
Inu-Yasha paused and said "What ever it is, every one in the clan feels it. The stronger the feeling, you know something is happening to a close blood relative."
"So what!"
"So what this feeling is extremely strong, that means that either Sesshomaru or my father."
Kikyo's eyes got wide as she thought about what could possibly happen to Sesshomaru, or their father. She quickly asked "is it usually good or bad?"
"Its usually good but I guess we'll see Kikyo, we'll see." The feeling was fading back to emptiness. To take his mind off of it again, he continued to make-out with his current girl friend. In the back of the mind he it wasn't working. He was wondering if Kikyo would be willing to become his wife. Inu-Yasha was actually 95 positive that whatever was happening that it was happening to his brother. After Kikyo had became his girlfriend, he had dumped Kagome altogether. And the interesting thing was that his brother was the one who was there for her. With his last thought he closed his mind to just thinking about Kikyo who felt just right in his arms.

Sesshomaru's father went completely still once he felt the healing ritual start. He was in his personal library/office and was trying to work on paper work. Some how he just knew it was his eldest son. Maybe he shouldn't have left Kagome alone with his eldest son. He had detected how strong the poison was. Now that he thought about it he should have taught his oldest son how to properly develop his healing saliva.
Each youkai, who has the ability of a poison attack, has an antidote made specifically for his or her own poison. The youkai would produce the antidote somewhere within its own body. In the Inu-Youkai clan their antidote was developed in their saliva.
He waited until the feeling went away and he started on the paper work. After a while he stopped he'd have to deal with it later. He would soon however have to explain to his son that the way he was using could also be used as a claim mark for mating. It was time to set down his sons again to have another of those 'little talks'. The older youkai had dreaded the day when he had to share his knowledge of how youkai mate. He felt the healing ritual start to go to far. Sesshomaru's father should have known that this (mate marking) might happen. Feeling on edge, he wondered briefly if he should let it continue or not. But as he thought about it he his feet were already walking him to the kitchen. Letting out a sigh, he figured his youkai self excepted it. Not to far from thinking that he felt Sesshomaru had passed the point to no return. Trying to justify, his acceptance he came to the conclusion that his eldest was 19, a young adult about to start college, so why not. Kagome was only human after all and Sesshomaru would out live her a thousand times over. Plenty of time for him to find other mates. So he was off to the kitchen to start cooking, for when Kagome awakes; she will eat everything in sight. If she doesn't then he knows his son would.
The ritual will be exhausting to both parties. The ritual could take anything from 15 minutes to days, depending on how hard the youkai pushed, and how badly the youkai wanted it.
