*I Wanted to give a special thanks to those reviewing thankyou,Especially to inuyashahanyou4kagomemiko.I am thrilled that you all are enjoying..*

The hanyou sat in silence within his tree,with confusion and heaviness, weighing on his night breeze that sought to sooth his soul ,only gave way to the conflicting emotions that always seem to trap him his lonely self made prison. Sighing softly ,Inuyasha looked once more and lowered his eyes towards the scene that waited for him. One by one his sight caught each one of his friends and with each one brought a treasured memory given to him by one of them that changed him. Kagome. That name ,either spoken or thought gave way to the shiver of fear ,from the power of the one who carried that name,held over him.

Earlier ,Inuyasha found himself unexpectedly torn that he wasn't prepared to stop the demands of his secret desire to take the chosen woman as his mate,to be spoken. On one hand if he had a free will to choose with a heart that wasn't already tied than Kagome would've been his mate long ago,with the exception of Naraku of still held the chains binding him with the guilt of what happened so long ago in their past. Kagome held onto his heart without her knowing that she has done so and for a very long time. Still if Inuyasha could only find way to still appease his past so that he could seize his future ,the hanyou would jump all over it without hesitation.

Although the triangle wasn't the only problem that he seemed to place Kagome and himself into there was the demands of his demon trying to sway the rest of him into taking what was his. Kagome.. To Inuyasha, Kagome was indeed his chosen mate, that was proven just by her scent ,and the way her soul seemed to call to him. Tonight was exceptionally hard on him ,like all the nights that he had lost apart of him ,and left him vulnerable .The night of the new moon caused to torment him with his weakened strength and the confusion in his every night just like the last .Inuyasha would wander where their campsite was within hearing distance but was far enough to not lure trouble to his pack.

In the morning ,bright and early, Inuyasha felt renewed as he was once again a hanyou. Although with a cautious mind ,Inuyasha tried really hard not to be of close distance with the miko of his group .Inuyasha preyed with all that was in him that any of her suitors didn't come looking,at least not now. If Any of those were to happen it only meant trouble and that in itself was something they as a group they didn't need,let alone for it to be added ,singling out on two. Despite those reasons Inuyasha also couldn't let Kagome go off with just anyone,and certainly not without him.

Kagome had finally fought and won the chance to return home as soon as she knew they were close to the village .Sneaky wench, but it gave the hanyou somewhat a reprive and if he knew himself by the end of the next day ,lil miss sneaky would have him waiting on her. It wasn't for any other reason but the hanyou's need the calming scent of hers to calm him and that Inuyasha missed her,though that wouldn't be revealed ,at least by him. Within the next few days without any disturbances ,and his companions were with Sango to get her weapon repaired,Inuyasha was alone. Kikyo had made one appearance but lately he felt her prersence more unsettling and cold for some reason,so he sought Kagome's comfort.

With a leap into the well to the awaiting blue that carried him once again to his Kagome.

'Wait what the hell!' Inuyasha thought

'Don't play stupid you know you want her as much as we do..Just say fuck the other wench and take the bitch that wants us ..Desires us..

'Loves us..' The husky voice of his self echoed through his mind

' She does?' Inuyasha thought feeling stupid foreven having this conversation

' Are you stupid ? Really ? Damn and I felt sorry for the bitch maybe I am the one who should be affraid for myself for being stuck with a idiot..Tell ya what why don't you let me take over for awhile and I will prove it too you.' The taunting voice within his head chuckled

'Whatever ' Inuyasha yelled to end this before people began looking at him for all the expressions playing out on his face while silently talking with himself

When the hanyou jumped from the well a odd scent permeated from the house ,and more specifically from Kagome's bedroom,such to her Inuyasha wasn't the only demon in the vacinity that smelt her arousal ,to the hanyous frustration the demonic presence was closing in on her,and because she was unmarked now both shared a common interest. Kagome. The girl was oblivious to it and Inuyasha was surprised seeing demons in her time. The demon that was soon approaching had the intent of challenging whomever stood in the way of taking a mate. Inuyasha felt his blood boil with jealousy and rage because of the pure lust that rolled of Kagome's suitor in thick waves .The hanyou 's mind quickly fell to black,with his infuriated demon within rushing to take its place for dominance.

Once Inuyasha's new rival arrived from within the trees on the far end of the shrine,the demon within had taken complete control to take and protect it's mate. Crimson crashed with a mirror image of its own ,both of the with the same word rolling on their lips .

Mate.

Feral growls were exchanged ,attacks were thrown,blood spilt, in the end it will be to the death,unless you were the victor who would claim the one with the luscious sweet scent, if you could survive the blood loss that is...
