CHAPTER FOUR: IN THE LAST CHAPTER KAGOME HAD GONE HOME AND HAD LEFT THE WESTERN LORD BEHIND

Feudal era

Mean while in the feudal era a certain primal western lord howled mournfully at his missed oppoutunity with the female that escaped him. His logical side breathed a sigh of relief however briefly that sigh was.

He then spoke to his beast and said " we will have another time to find out just who that onna is. We both know for a fact that she will come back and when she does".

He was cut off as his beast said "when bitch come back. She become our mate only no other."

At that the logical side of sesshoumaru sighed then said " no she is nigen and is beneath us."

At that his beast growled at him and said " bitch not nigen you not see spell that hides bitches true form. I see through spell on bitch I know what and who she is. Why you not see too? "

At that the logical side of sesshoumaru was surprised and thought there is a spell hiding her true form." what do you mean beast when you say that there is a spell on the onna that hides her true form? if nigen is not her true form then what is?"

At that his beast responded saying "bitch hides her true form with a consealing spell. Bitch is not nigen she is four tail female demoness".

"Bitch is of anchient royal bloodline that we believed gone from this world. Bitch true ruler of north. Bitch have royal star on head to prove bloodline. Female must become our mate. Promised to us she was from birth. Our intended she is. Marked by our sire for us she was. Waited along time for her we have. Next time we see bitch claim and mate her we will."

At that the logical side of sesshoumaru thought ' if she is as my beast says she is then pursue her we will and fufill the prophecy that was for told to us by our father eons ago'. After that thought he smelled the scent of his half brother comming his way.

The scent of garlic was strong in the air meaning that his brother had gone completly feral. He knew that things were not going to end well between them if his beast was still in control of his body.

So he struggled in the mental cage trying to get out and take over. He yelled at his beast saying " give me control of our body beast you know not how to handle the hanyou that is comming."

His beast said "I care not about hanyou".

"Kill hanyou for hurting our mate. Hanyou not good protector for our mate. Leave mate alone all the time at night to see undead whore.

"Too many times we see hanyou hurt mate and make mate cry. You do nothing about it. Now I fix! I make better!. I take charge and protect mate!. I make hanyou pay for his mistakes!!".

At that the logical sesshoumaru said " no beast you cannot do that the hanyou has gone completly feral. Besides if you do our mate will be angry with us and may reject us because of it." At that his beast relented " fine! you take control now I will watch and only assist if need be."

At that the logical side of Sesshoumaru took control as he was let out and he said to his beast " thank you beast " His beast just blinked at him. As the red seeped out of Sesshoumaru's eyes and his normal golden color took over. He turned just in time to see a red eyed snarling feral hanyou come to a stop at the edge of the clearing.

While just behind the feral hanyou came the monk as he too stopped at the edge of the clearing. But unlike the hanyou who was stupidly still snarling at Sesshoumaru. The monk who seemed curious and wary at the same time addressed him.

" Lord Sesshoumaru to what do we owe the honor of your visit tonight" as the monk bowed to him giving as much honor as he could to one of Sesshoumaru's station.

Sesshoumaru for his part looked at the monk and said " where are the female nigens of your group and the foxchild along with the firecat. Where have they gone? I smelt them in the area but their scent stops here at this old dry well why is that?".

"Did something happen to the females in your group along with the kitsune and neko? tell me monk." At Sesshoumaru's questions Miroku paled and thought to him self.

' Oh crap how do we get our selves out of this one. Of all the times that Kagome sama had to leave our era she had to choose a night when the western lord was out patrolling his lands. Thanks alot Kagome you really did a number this time' he thought with trepidation'.

" You are correct Lord Sesshoumaru they were here. You see Kagome got mad a Inuyasha here and left our camp with Sango, Shippo and the firecat in tow she said that she needed some time alone away from Inuyasha".

" So Sango, Shippo and Kirara went with her to keep her safe. When she left she did not tell us just where she was heading. We waited a while at the campsite thinking that she would come back to us and carry on like nothing ever happened afterward like she always does. But this time she didn't so fearing for the girls safety we tracked down their scents to this location. Only to find you here and them gone to who knows where".

" So your guess is as good as ours Lord Sesshoumaru. But if I may be so bold as to ask a question of you Lord Sesshoumaru". At this he got a head nod from the western lord. Miroku then proceeded to ask his question " exactly why are you here Lord Sesshoumaru?"

Sesshoumaru responded saying " my ward wishes to see the miko and the kitsune so I came in search of them. Now I find out that they are both missing along with the slayer and the firecat from your group. I assume that they have been kidnapped from this area since their scents completly stop here".

" From what I can tell they didn't put up much of a fight meaning they were all knocked out quite quickly. Or could it be that they possibly fell down the well and were pulled through a rip in time to another world".

At this the western lord smirked inwardly at his next thought as he said it.

" Or could it be possible that the hanyou beside you is so incapable of protecting his own pack of females that any full blooded demon such as my self can tempt them to leave the hanyou's pack. With but a mere promise of absolute protection".

" Do the females in your group feel so uncomfortable in the hanyou's care that they would risk life and limb to find another male that could or would provide for their needs and see to it that they were kept safe every night? and not leave them like the hanyou beside you has on the many occasions that I have observed your little group. As you made your way accross my lands in search of that little jewel that the miko wears around her neck".

As Sesshoumaru said that he looked straight at the hanyou who by this time was completly mad and growling even more saying in the inu language " you bastard how dare you accuse me of not protecting my pack".

" Its that damn wenches fault if they got kidnapped not mine. Besides what the hell do you care if a two worthless nigen females, a fox brat and a firecat go missing".

"You hate humans remember and I would think that getting rid of two weak demons like the foxbrat and the firecat would be right up your alley you asshole. As far as other full blood demons taking that miko whore and that slayer friend of hers I say all the more power to them".

"Those two are nothing but fucking trouble. Besides that wench of a miko is nothing compaired to my mate kikyou. She couldn't even hold a torch to the power that my mate kikyou weilds and once that damn wench finds all the shards of the shikon jewel that she broke."

"I will take the jewel from her and then make a wish for my mate to live again. After that I could careless if that bitch lives or dies."

"But until then she's my shard detector and I'm not gonna let her get away from me that easily. Now get the hell out of my way so I can find that damn wench. I will teach her a lesson she will never forget. She can't talk about my mate the way she did and not expect me to defend my mates honor."

After Inuyasha said that Sesshoumaru responded saying in their own language" I won't let you pass half breed for the miko is right about your clay whore that you call a mate. She does spred her legs for another male and it isn't just you that she spreds them for its Naraku as well".

" Have you ever wondered half breed why your supposed mate wont let you fully mark her hm?"

At Inuyasha's blank expression Sesshoumaru concluded that he did wonder and just never realized the implications of such a act. Sesshoumaru then decided to taunt the hanyou further by saying " You know most male full blooded demons would realize that a female who refused to be marked as a life mate while in the process of rutting was already marked for life by another male and that the female was just using them to get information out of them".

" But then again most male full blooded demons would not touch a female that was marked by another male demon. We full blooded demons can smell the mating marks from another male and therefore know what females to avoid. Unlike you hanyou's who can't smell the mating scents from other males".

As he said that Inuyasha became even more enraged and ran toward the western lord drawing his hand back and cracking his knuckles as he ran. He closed in on his brother intent on doing as much dammage as possible.

He made to swipe at Sesshoumaru's neck and kill him as quickly as he could. But at the last possible second Sesshoumaru side stepped his brother and struck Inuyasha accross the back going from his right shoulder straight to his lower back as Inuyasha passed him.

Sesshoumaru said to him " a hanyou such as your self should know your place half breed. Even the wench in your group knows her place better than you do."

Inuyasha spun around sliding to a stop after getting clawed by Sesshoumaru. He hissed through his teeth at the pain his older brother caused.

Inuyasha attacked his brother again this time even faster than before. Sesshoumaru seeing this lept up into the air and attacked his younger brother using his poison whip lashing Inuyasha several times accross the arms chest and legs before he landed back on the ground.

Inuyasha now sporting several deep cuts that were infected and bleeding profusely was loosing to his older brother and tiring quickly. He drew tetsusaiga and jumped up in the air yelling " WIND SCAR " as he swung the sword downward at his brother.

As he said that five bright yellow claws of energy streaked toward Sesshoumaru. His brother countered using tokijin swinging and saying " Dragon Strike ". The powers from both swords crashed into one another causing massive distruction to the surrounding area alot of trees in the area were snapped in half and others were completly uprooted that were closer to the blast area.

The two brothers were both pushed further away from each other. Sesshoumaru was simply pushed back while still remaining on his feet. Inuyasha on the other hand was completly knocked off his feet and landing on his back knocking the wind out of him.

Miroku wisely ran for cover when Inuyasha drew his sword he knew what was going to happen if he stayed in the area. He had no desire to be in the area when the power from those two swords struck each other.

While he may be a monk with immense holy powers and a cursed wind tunnel in his right hand there was no way no how that he wished to end up flying through the air like Inuyasha did and have every man, woman and child in the area see his dirty little secret.

That lay hidden under his monks robes he had stolen a pair of Sango's underwear that kagome had bought for her last week and was currently wearing them. So he did what every other self respecting coward would do. He ran for his life the other way back towards Kaede's village all the while saying " I hope Inuyasha doesn't get to reckless and destroy the girls way back. I wouldn't want to miss out on Sango's enticing body any longer than I had t...."

' Oh looook a pretty woman I wonder if I can get her to bear my child' he thought as he approached the young woman. As Miroku went to the young woman he didn't notice the samiyosho ( sp ) buzzing around the tree tops above his head.

Stay with me as we find out in chapter five just who could have been listening in on Miroku's little speech....
