Copyright: I don't own Inu-Yasha.

Kagome threw another punch. She was a bad fighter, making it easy for Sango to block. But that didn't stop her from continuing her attacks as her mind screamed at her to defeat the rival female. Shippo blinked from his spot where Kagome had put him down. First she kissed Inu-Yasha and now she was attacking Sango? His eyes were large as he watched his 'mother' fight his 'aunt'. Miroku and Keade came over due to the noise.

"What's going on?" Miroku asked. Inu-Yasha just shrugged as he watched the fight carefully. Shippo hopped on Inu-Yasha's shoulder to get a better view.

Another punch, another block. Kick, block. Repeat. After a minute, Sango's voice rang out.

"Kagome-chan! Stop it!" Kagome just growled and threw another punch that got blocked. "Kagome-chan! Why are you doing this? Stop!" Sango pleaded, not wanted her friend to get hurt in the fight. Kagome ignored her and attacked again. Her mind was all foggy, with only one clear thought. Kill Rival. Win fight. Narrowing her glazed over eyes she threw a punch and the instant it was blocked, she threw another until both of her opponent's arms were being used. Growling softly Kagome head butted the other female. Sango blinked and took a step backwards wit her hand on her head.

"Ka….go…me-chan………why are doing this?" Sango asked as she shock off her pain. Kagome just smirked as her opponent seemed to be backing down. Looking to her right, she saw her bow and a couple arrows. Dashing for them, she grabbed them and turned to aim at Sango. Sango look up with wide eyes as the arrows tip started to glow a soft pink. Inu-Yasha growled and threw Shippo off his shoulder and ran into the fight. He would allow Kagome to try and hit Sango with her hands because Sango would never get hurt, but a purifying arrow…

Grabbing Kagome by her arm, Inu-Yasha ripped the bow out of her hand and sent the arrow fling about 5 feet away where is hit the ground.

"Kagome! What do you think you are doing?" He snapped. Kagome looked at him then at Sango and growled. Shoving him off of her, she ran off. Inu-Yasha watched her for a second before looking back at Sango who now was sitting on the ground. "I think your right Sango…she is thinking like an Inu…" He said with a nod before he left after Kagome. Sango just nodded softly.

"And I was competition for alpha female…" she said softly as she closed her eyed and slowed her breathing. Miroku knelt next to Sango and put a hand on her back.

"That is one fight I am glad you lost Lady Sango." Sango glared at him.

"I didn't lose Miroku. I chose not to fight." Miroku nodded.

"I am glad Lady Sango…" He said softly as his hand traveled south. Sango's eyes went wide as she felt his hand.

"Hentai!" She screamed as she punched him out.

Inu-Yasha jumped from tree to tree as he followed Kagome's scent. She had gotten a good distance from the village. Jumping down, Inu-Yasha blinked at the sight before him. Kagome's back was to him but he was glad he couldn't see her face. Her shoulders were shaking as she sobbed. The smell of her tears overwhelmed him. Taking a step towards her, Inu-Yasha stepped on a twig and inwardly cursed. Kagome instantly sat straight up and didn't move.

"Kagome?" As son as her name left his lip, Kagome's head snapped around and looked at him. The look he got made him hate himself even more with each passing second. Her face was full of pain and rejection. Unknown to Inu-Yasha, it was the same face that Kagome wore each time he ran off to Kikkyo but this time it was Sango who caused her to have this look. He stepped toward her and reached to touch her arm. Kagome took a step back and shock her head no. Inu-Yasha stepped forward again growled softly as she retreated closer to the small stream. Kagome looked at him and stopped mid-step. After a couple more quick steps, Inu-Yasha was in front of Kagome.

"Kagome…what's wrong?" He ask as he reached up and brush some wet hair out of her face. The only response he got was a simple stare. Inu-Yasha didn't understand. Putting an arm around her waist, he pulled her closer until she put both hands on her chest and pushed away. Growling, Inu-Yasha let her go. Kagome took a couple steps back and looked at the ground. Mate rejecting? Make her accept! His demon blood screamed. Inu-Yahsa shock his head to control the thoughts.

While he was busy fighting his demonic blood, Inu-Yasha's body moved toward Kagome and pulled her close to him. Kagome squirmed in his arms until he stilled her with a soft kiss without even a thought. Mate! Claim mate! Inu-Yasha's blood howled and brought Inu-Yasha back to what his body was doing. He couldn't see and he felt…lips? Not a good sign. Pulling away slowly, he looked down at Kagome. Her red lips were slightly swollen and her eyes were only half open. Inu-Yasha swallowed the growing lump in his throat and tried to ignore the rush of blood to his loins.

Kagome blinked and started to come out of her passion high. Inu-Yasha was about to push her away when she put her hands on either side of his face and kissed him passionately. Inu-Yasha blinked and grabbed her upper arms tightly. His mind told him to push her off but yet again his body disobady and he pulled her closer. He felt her hands ran up into his sliver mane and form fists in his hair. The low growl that came from his chest brought him back to reality and made him pull away.

Opening his eyes, Inu-Yasha looked at the female before him. Her brown eyes were fully closed well her kiss swollen lip were parted as she caught her breath. But that wasn't what he found luring. It was her head's postoin. The way it was tilted to the side, exposing her throat to him. Mark her! Claim! Mate offering! Showing sumbission! Claim! His demonic blood screamed. He tightened his grip on her arms in effort to resist mark her. Its not her….she desn't know what she is doing.…… He thought as his eyes stared at her exposed neck, ready and willing to be marked. Leaning forward, Inu-Yasha felt himself open his mouth.

A soft whimper broke through his thoughts, jerking him back to himself. Standing up straight and snapping his mouth shut, Inu-Yasha looked at Kagome. Her eyes were open, looking at him with pain filled eyes. He blinked, confused. Why is she in pain? I didn't mark her… Then the smell hit his nose. Blood. Her blood. Instantly he let go of her as if she was on fire. Looking around the clearing, Inu-Yasha searched for the one who hurt his Kagome. He found nothing and looked at Kagome to see what her wounds were.

She stood there with her arms at her sides, blood dripping slowly from 5 puncture wounds on each arm. They looked as if they were made by……..claws. Inu-Yasa's eyes went wide as he looked at his hands. Seeing them, he jumped back in a flash of red and silver as if he could escape what was on his hands. Her blood. In his attempt to resist marking Kagome, Inu-Yasha had dug his claws into her arms and drew her blood.

Looking up at her, he whimpered softly without a thought. Kagome steped toward him and licked his chin softly while not making eye contact. A sign of submissiviness. Inu-Yasha reached up and ripped the sleeves off of her shirt. Spinning her to the side, he leaned forward and licked her wounds softly. Looking up at her, he watched as Kagome closed her eyes and tilted her head, exposing her neck to him again. Ignoring her neck the best he could, Inu-Yasha moved to her other arm and licked off that blood. Standing up he ran a clawed hand over the wounds, his eyes filled with regret.

"Am I interrupting something?" Came a cold voice from the end of the clearing. Inu-Yasha's head immediately came up and looked across the clearing. Glaring, he grabbed Kagome by the waist and pulled her close to him. As his brother stepped into the clearing, Inu-Yasha let out a low growl noticing that Sesshoumaru's eyes were on Kagome.

"What do you want Sesshoumaru?" Inu-Yasha snapped as he moved Kagome behind him.

"The bitch seems to be in heat…and you have yet to claim her brother. Are you leaving her open for other males to claim?"
