Chapter 4 of An Odd twist of Events
After Sango and Kagome were a decent distance from camp Sango began to question Kagome about her choice and whether or not Sesshomaru forced her to mate with him. Kagome just waited till her friend was finished berating her and questioning her motives, while Sesshomaru fumed at the distrust that the slayer obviously felt towards him.
Kagome told Sango the story starting with Kouga stripping her and almost raping her to Sesshomaru saving her and what he had suggested earlier that day then questioning her if she had thought about it. She had told him yes while she bathed his back to her, he had verified what she truly wanted and joined her in the spring one thing leading to another with no hesitation from herself. Sleeping for two days to awaken to an aroused Sesshomaru and having more pleasant matings (blushing furiously as she told Sango of this).
"He really isn't as cold or bad as he comes off to be, he's really sweet, protective, and cares about my pleasure while we are getting ready to mate. He is really good at making me feel cared for and beautiful. I believe that I could grow to love him Sango."
Sesshomaru sat there thoroughly enjoying the praising he was getting on his abilities to please her and the thought that Inuyasha would never have this and had lost out on the best human woman in the world. My mate now and she loves me. Yes this would be a fun and interesting life with her. I do believe I feel something that could be described as 'love' for her.
I told you so, I told you so said his inner beast mentally jumping for joy.
Fine I will admit it you were right to choose her and cause me to consider her as a possible mate.
Sango and Kagome continued on their conversation unnoted by him until he smelt Kagome's arousal from the topic of conversation. And it took all he had to keep from going to her and taking her for the second time that morning. I don't believe she will approve of that behavior in front of Sango. Maybe I should just walk over there and politely interrupt her and carry her off for some fun. Ahh……I could get lost for months in that body of hers it smells of sweet succulent honey and cherry blossoms, such a lovely smell. He quickly grew hard at the thoughts that were now plaguing him, yes he would interrupt and run off with her for some harmless mating.
Just as he stood up to walk over to the two an unpleasant smell hit his nose, the smell of a wolf. The particular wolf he never wanted to see or hear from again. He especially did not like the idea of Kouga near His Mate. "Kagome come hear and get behind me." He said a little stiffly.
She glanced up and said "What is it Sesshy?" Then an odd smell met her nose as she tried to figure it out Kouga appeared. Damn it all she thought. What's going to happen now? She hurried over to Sesshomaru and stood slightly behind him as she heard the most threatening growl ever emitting from Sesshomaru.
"I told you to stay the hell away from her Kouga. She will never be yours now, and she absolutely does not have any feelings for you at all. So get out of here before I kill you" He said dangerously
"So Kagome what did this dog do to get you to mate with him? Did he take you after he interrupted me or did he trick you into it?"
"He did neither Kouga, he only showed me kindness and gave me protection from sorry demons like you. I have you know that I want to be with him and will never leave his side till death takes me." She did not take kindly to Kouga's words or actions anymore. He had caused her to hate him more than anything else when he tried to rape her.
Sesshomaru with venom dripping on every word said "You will not get near her for you will not try to take what is obviously mine. I will not allow you near her ever again for a real demon knows to quit when a woman says no. So get out of here before I decide to kill you."
Kouga only smirked and started towards the couple with a malicious grin on his face, anticipating killing or at least mortally wounding Sesshomaru in the battle to come. He suddenly lunged at Sesshomaru, but wasn't fast enough, for Sesshomaru had already unsheathed Tokijin at the same time wielding his poison whip. He simultaneously slashed with his sword and lashed out with his poisoned whip, nicking Kouga with both before the wolf had time to change his course.
Kouga yelped in pain as the effects of the whip started to dissolve his flesh. He tried Sesshomaru one last time before running off, realizing it was pointless to try when Sesshomaru was so aware and angry. Kouga would eventually come back when least expected and take her then, when his injuries healed.
Sango watched the battle as it played out before her, she was convinced now that Sesshomaru held only good intentions for her best friend by his show of hatred for Kouga and protectiveness for Kagome. He never once left her unguarded while he fought and held his ground, he obviously did care for her a lot. The strange things that attraction can do, she thought to herself.
Glancing up from her thoughts she saw Kagome and Sesshomaru locked in a passionate kiss and decided to dismiss herself before things got out of hand with those two lovebirds.
Kagome looked up into Sesshomaru's still angry eyes and they softened immediately as he bent down for a passionate kiss. Getting him hard all over again and arousing her again. He pulled back and looked into her passion filled now gold flecked chocolate eyes, and considered himself lucky to have her. "Shall we go somewhere more private and deal with this" he said pressing his arousal against her causing her even more excitement.
They headed off to a small but nice cave they had passed about thirty minutes before they had reached the campsite of Inuyasha and the others. When they got there they had wild passionate sex, each meeting the others needs within seconds of each other. When they finished they headed back towards the campsite to sleep.
On arriving they got a rather disgusted look from Inuyasha who could smell what had taken place between the two. He was also upset that if things didn't work out with Kikyo he would never get to see what could have been between him and Kagome.
Sesshomaru sensed this from his half-brother and gave him a cold smirk feeling that it served his baka brother right for losing his only true chance at happiness to him. How he loved to out do his half-brother but this one thing in particular must really hurt his pride. Well he should have never let her go in favor of his now dead first love (she is just graveyard dirt and bones after all; I bet she has no body warmth to her). Someone should put her back in the grave she came from; she looks at him so coldly and disgustedly when he isn't looking in her direction. I wonder if Inuyasha knows how much Kikyo really detests him, oh well I'll let him find out the hard way.
--33--33--33--
Kouga was to say the least pissed at the world and his followers found out the hard way. If any of them tried to question him or try to find out what was wrong they ended up with serious injuries. His wolves couldn't even comfort him as he seethed with hatred for the mangy dog that took his precious woman away from him.
He schemed on how to get her back from sneakily killing the mutt to stealing Kagome with spells and enchantments (luckily she is immune to these). He even thought about finding some mischievous fairies to play falling apart pranks (the evil fairies specialty). He would get her back somehow, for he was tired of being outdone by those mangy dogs. Revenge will be sweet he thought bitterly grinning.
--33--33--33--
Sesshomaru was happy with his choice and nothing anyone did or said would change it now, for a dog demon is the most loyal and honorable of the demon kind. They had been traveling for several days and each night him and Kagome would go off by themselves and have fun exploring the others body further and further.
As the group was drawing closer to the Bone eaters well, Kagome was getting more anxious by the hour. She was anxious to go home and clean up properly, she was also thinking of how to break to her family the news of her and Sesshy being mated now. Her mother took things rather well but this was most likely pushing it. Grandpa will throw a sutra at him and yell 'Demon be gone', then Sesshomaru will summon his poison whip and I will have to quickly intervene. Souta will ask about Inuyasha and irritate Sesshomaru even more and I will be walking on pins and needles to keep things running smoothly. I better warn Sesshy first before taking him home.
Sesshomaru smelled Kagome's anxiety growing over the past several hours and was wondering about the cause, but refrained from asking because she would most likely tell him later. His beast was not enjoying this scent and was wanting to comfort her, but he would not allow such a display in front of this many people not to mention the three kids. How I wish I could steal her away from the group for a few hours and wash away her anxiety with extreme pleasure. She is just so tasty and accepts anything new I suggest with a mmm…… and then starts the sounds of ecstasy and strong scent of her arousal. Oh how I could lose myself in her marvelous scent. He had to shut down that train of thought quickly for his arousal was becoming apparent to Kagome and her scent was rising to match his rapidly.
Inuyasha had also noticed the smell of arousal coming off of his half-brother and Kagome, mentally kicking himself for loosing her to Sesshomaru. Well once Kikyo is gone I'll try to take her back, it probably won't take much for me to win her over. She loved me before Sesshomaru came around so I bet she still does. She's probably hiding her true feelings from him he thought rather cockily. Planning on how he would win her back he ran into Miroku's back. What the…?
Glancing around Miroku he saw a huge dragon like the one he had slain to make Tetsusiga lighter, but this one was even more powerful than anything they had ever encountered and it was mad. It was blue with cruel scarlet eyes, it's mouth was in an angry snarl, and the most evil aura ever radiated from it. They all stared at the monstrous dragon and were thinking of ways to defeat it quickly.
Sesshomaru unsheathed Tokijin, Inuyasha the Tetsusiga, Sango readied her Hariakotso, Kagome her bow, and Miroku with Kirara's help got the children a safe distance away before coming back to aid in the fight.
When they were all ready for battle the dragon spoke in a booming voice "Which of you have taken my comrade's woman?" He was a friend of Kouga's they had an alliance with each other, the wolves kept unwanted company out of his territory and he would do them a few favors once a year.
"She is not his woman dragon, she never was his. Kouga tried to rape her and force her to be his mate. She did not want him after that and she chose me, her protector. So tell me am I wrong in keeping her from his wolfish ways." said Sesshomaru challengingly.
"YOU ARE WRONG DOG YOUKAI FOR SHE WILL SOON BE HIS AFTER I DESTROY YOU." said the dragon.
"I Sesshomaru shall not die by battling you, and he will never lay hands on MY KAGOME!"
"Well, well what do you know it's the two mutts and their little gang. Ah… Kagome my love why don't you leave dog breath and come with me, besides he won't last long against Setikotso there, for he is the oldest and most powerful of dragon kind. So let's go Kagome for I am ready to claim you as my mate." Kouga ran to her and with a bit of a fight seized her and took off for his caves as Setikotso attacked the battle ready group.
Kagome was fighting and screaming at him with all her might (and she was a great deal stronger than she used to be), but as it would turn out she only hindered his progress. She was a handful for him though it took all he had to keep hold of her. By the time Kouga had reached his cave he was worn out from fighting to hold onto her so he tossed her on his furs and left leaving his wolves to guard her and keep her there no matter what so he could recuperate his strength to force mate her.
The battle was difficult and no one knew where Kikyo was, and they all worried about Kagome but Sesshomaru was enraged beyond any reasoning due to the kidnapping of his mate. He was glad that he had went ahead and pupped her the last time they had mated, he had felt something ominous and wanted to make sure that if something was to happen to him or if Kagome was raped that he would be the only one getting an heir from her. If he died he would have left his only pup for her to remember him by, and at that last thought he let his demon take control to slay the foe at hand.
The battle lasted well into the night Sango and Miroku had to stop fighting in order to regain some energy to fight on, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were tired but they were fueled by strong rushes of adrenaline from the need to save Kagome. Sesshomaru wasn't as badly injured as Inuyasha though but he was still losing a lot of blood in this battle and their foe sustained various injuries as well for Inuyasha had done a serious blow earlier with his Backlash Wave but this dragon was cautious and did not use a powerful attack like that one again, he just whittled away at them with small amounts of energy and attacks with brute strength.
Sesshomaru was losing patience with the irritating dragon and he was more pissed off by the second at the wasting of every precious second that put Kagome in even more danger. He thought smugly for a moment that Kouga was going to have his hands full with her now that she was stronger and at this thought came a new blast of energy causing the dragon to make the mistake of attacking with the most powerful attack it had in it's large arsenal, Inuyasha saw his chance and yelled "BACKLASH WAVE" the energy swirled and the dragon howled in agony as he was shredded to pieces.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha sagged with weariness after the dragon was obliterated. Then Sesshomaru let out a long shrill whistle summoning AhUn, the brothers climbed on AhUn and headed in the direction of Kouga's den napping on the way.
--33--33--33--
Kagome waited bidding her time till he returned to try and claim her, she knew that trying to escape now was futile and would only cause her to tire making herself easily taken by a rejuvenated Kouga. She was sure that he had left to regain his strength before he tried to take her as a mate, but he underestimated her if he thought she was stupid enough to wear herself out trying to escape. I hope Sesshomaru and the others are okay, that was definitely a big dragon. I don't remember seeing Kikyo when I was kidnapped by Kouga; I wonder what she was up to. I doubt that she truly loves Inuyasha much if any at all. Well I don't pity him though after the way he treated me, he had already lost me before I mated with Sesshomaru. She glanced up from her thoughts and saw Kouga approaching with an evil grin. I need to figure out how to stall him until the others arrive what can I possibly do though? Inflict pain? Fight him? Or act interested? What will gain me the most time?
"Hello Kagome are you ready to become my mate yet?"
"Oh yes Kouga I have thought about it and you are the better choice, besides poor little Sesshy is probably dead by now."
"That's better dearest now let's mate so I can erase his disgusting scent off of you."
"But wait Kouga I'm not ready quite yet, I need my mirror and my bag so I can prepare myself for you, and I would like to play a few games before hand as well."
"Fine" he ground out, he wasn't going to push her if she was willing and Sesshomaru was most likely dead by now or at least to tired to do anything but sleep. So she was going to be his soon enough and he would allow her this small favor.
How long does it take a female to get ready? It's been an hour since she went in there to prepare, maybe I should go and check on her. He walked in to find a sexily dressed Kagome asleep on the floor. Well I guess I will get my fun when she wakes. I'll set guards at the entrance to make sure she stays put.
--33--33--33--
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were getting closer to Kouga's den and they were fully restored and healed from their battle with the dragon. They both hoped that Kouga hadn't done anything to her yet. But Sesshomaru had confidence in her abilities to stay unclaimed by the wolf, she was intelligent and now more powerful than she was before. He was looking forward to slaying Kouga for kidnapping Kagome and no one would change his mind about it. Inuyasha was still wondering about where Kikyo had disappeared to. She hadn't come back yet unless she was with the children and that was doubtful.
--33--33--33--
When Kagome had awoken to the appraising eyes of Kouga she smiled at him and apologized for falling asleep on him. "I was just so tired from the days events though that I couldn't help myself and laid down for a quick nap that turned out longer than I had anticipated."
"Yeah it was a whole six hours." Kouga stated rather irritably.
"What's wrong Kouga my dear? Why are you irritated with me? Don't I look ravishing in this outfit?"
"Nothing is wrong Kagome, I'm not irritated with you, and yes you look positively delicious. So when can I dig in?"
Kagome sensed Sesshomaru close by and smiled happily at that knowledge as she looked to Kouga and said "What about my game first?"
"Ah yes you can have your game first, what did you have in mind?"
"Well I figured we could play a game of 'catch me if you can' then once you do I try to catch you. Okay?"
"Uhh… yeah sure Kagome so what do I do to play this game?"
"Well I'm going to take off running and you have to catch me and once you do you have to take off running and then I have to catch you."
"Okay let's start now!" he said as he lunged to grab her she took off running faster than she had ever done before and he was having fun trying to keep up without his shards to make him super fast. She was slowly leaving more and more distance between them.
Suddenly a loud noise caused them to pause in their game and Kouga growled in anger from being interrupted from this entertaining game of catch. "What the fuck is it now?" yelled Kouga.
"It is I Sesshomaru, here to kill you and reclaim my Kagome from your filthy wolf paws."
Kouga was not thrilled to see Sesshomaru alive and well but to make it worse Inuyasha made his entrance then and said "Happy to see us wolf-boy? We are going to enjoy killing your sorry hide for kidnapping Kagome."
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha simultaneously attacked Kouga and he didn't have a fighting chance with the both of them attacking him at the same time. He died painfully after the attack and Sesshomaru vowed that if that wolf had lain with Kagome then he would bring him back with Tensaiga and slowly kill him again and again.
