Chapter One
The Marking
"Sesshouamru you must claim your mate." A demon in ceremonial robes called.
"This Sesshoumau knows this." A tall, silver haired inuyoukai replied. He stared at the young female in front of him. "Kagome you are to submit." He ordered. The female snorted in disbelief.
"You have got to be joking. I would never submit to you." The black haired, green eyed girl held Sesshoumaru's gaze. You are not my mate or father. You're not even pack. Sesshoumaru's eyes bled red.
It would be wise to back down bitch. I will not say this again. He barked back in inuyoukai. When he received another challenging glare he charged towards her. He had known that the fight for her hand would be difficult, but did she have to be so infuriating?
Lord Taisho and the girl's grandfather, Lord Asano, watch from the sidelines. They needed this bond between these two youths. Whether or not they believed it, the two were perfect for each other. The female would never let herself be walked over, and the male could keep her in line.
"I do believe that this is going to get bloody really quick." Lord Taisho whispered as he watched his son dodge a swipe of the females claws.
"I would have to agree my friend. She will not go down easily, and it is not in Sesshoumaru's genes to lose." He winced as his granddaughter was flipped onto her back.
Many nobles were gathered to watch the marking of these two heirs. Not only would it bind together the two lands but it was a public announcement that the Lady Kagome was no longer available. Males would not be ale to approach her without Sesshoumaru being present.
"This is getting ridiculous Sesshoumaru!" Kagome panted. "Just leave me alone!" She cried out as he swiped her feet out from under her. Finally pinning her, he gathered her wrists above her head.
"Do you yield to me?" He growled. His answer was a low growl and a snap from her teeth, from the female beneath him. Submit bitch. He ordered as he nipped her nose.
Not my alpha. Was her response. Sesshoumaru growled in anger and pressed her more firmly to the floor.
"You no longer have a choice. Now, relax or this is going to hurt a lot more that necessary." He whispered into her ear as his lips traveled her neck. He forcefully turned her head away from him, exposing her neck to him. Her body was now in complete submission to his. Her mind and spirit, however, were not. He knew that the claiming would pain the female even if she was relaxed, so his females marking would be borderline intolerable. Though he wished she would relax, he knew she wouldn't.
Kagome whimpered as his fangs scraped at the juncture of her neck and shoulder. This was the place that he would leave his mark, claiming her as his own. She was still struggling against him as tears began to fill her eyes. To submit was to allow him to have complete authority over her life. She wouldn't give that up without a fight.
"Please" she begged. "I don't want you to do this. I'm sure there are other females who would love your mark. Please take one of them. Don't take my freedom." She tried to appeal to his arrogance. There were many willing females out there that had their eyes set on the heir to the western lands.
"I will have no other than Kagome." Submit! She only shook her head in denial.
Sesshoumaru sighed in resignation. Lapping gently at her neck he extended his fangs and bit down hard. Kagome yelped in pain as Sesshoumaru held her down. Tears began streaming down her cheeks as his aura demanded submission from hers. She tried to wrench her neck from his fangs but only succeeded in making those fangs penetrate deeper.
A growl had begun in Sesshoumaru's chest as his mate continued to fight him. He resisted the urge to smile at her pain. Their pups would be powerful and unconquerable. He increased the strength of his aura and he completely smothered her in it. He claimed her as his own. Pulling his fangs from her skin he lapped at the puncture marks. He released her wrists and her fingers found his shirt. Her sobs finally reached his ears and he pressed her face into his shirt. A soothing rumble now sounded in his chest as he tried to sooth his mate.
"Do you submit Kagome? Do you acknowledge me as your alpha, your mate, sire to your pups?" He asked as he continued to lick her neck. He pulled them to a sitting position with her resting in his lap.
"Yes." She hiccuped. Alpha. She felt some of the tension flow out of Sesshoumaru.
Good bitch. I will protect you from now on. Calm yourself mate. He ordered nuzzling her hair and breathing in her calming scent. He would admit it to no one, but he loved her scent. He would have no other by his side. She was perfect for him.
I am hurt. You can't order me to stop my own pain. She whined back. She stiffened when his teeth nipped at the back of her neck. A reprimand. She stopped her tears but could not stop her shaking. She was starting to feel sick. Sesshoumaru realized this as well when he started to soothingly rub her back. Standing he nodded at the demon monk.
"I give you Lord Sesshoumaru, Heir to the Western Lands, and his mate, Lady Kagome, Heir to the Eastern Lands. With the completion of their bond, the two lands shall unite as one." With that the crowd of lords and generals kneeled before the two.
"Congratulations Sesshoumaru." Lord Taisho said as he slowly approached the two. His son would be edgy until he had his mating bond completed. He smirked at what that entailed, but shot a concerned look at his daughter-in-law as she took on a pale green color.
"She does not look well." Lord Asano commented as he looked his granddaughter over. Ever since his son's death, Kagome had been his responsibility. And now, seeing her in another man's arms as her alpha, did not sit well with him.
"She has made herself sick from all the excitement. I will be taking her home now. With your leave Father." Sesshoumaru said bowing. At Lord Taisho's nod he walked out of the room with his mate firmly in his arms.
Please R and R. No flames please but constructive criticism is welcome.
