Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the characters only the idea
Quick, ragged gasps could be heard throughout the campsite before beautiful golden eyes snapped open and said golden irises flickered around, taking in the surroundings, trying to remember where exactly he was. His silver bangs clung to his forehead as sweat rolled down his face and his heart hammered so loudly in his ears he was surprised the half-breed did not awaken. He brought his shaking and clammy, clawed hand up to his face and pressed it against his cheek before taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. 'Just a nightmare…' his mind whispered, trying to calm his beast down as well, who had begun to pace in its cage 'No, not a nightmare. A memory.' As much as he hated to admit it, he was afraid to close his eyes and allow the haunting images to return to him. 'This is ridiculous! I am The Great Sesshoumaru, such futile memories should not affect me so' he snarled. Looking down at his shoulder he saw a shock of raven pressed against the silk of his kimono. 'Kagome' his beast purred gently. Seeing the young maiden shiver, he wrapped mokomoko around her waist and drew her down onto his lap; her head resting close to his abdomen as the fur cover most of her own abdomen and thighs. He slightly shivered at the softness of her warm hands on his legs while the coldness of water seeped through his pants and the smell of salt caused his nose to ache. He placed his hand on her head and ran his claws through her raven hair, trying to calm himself further, but to no avail. He felt his beast growl, but The Demon Lord silenced it. Something stirred deep within him seeing the young maiden sleeping with her head in his lap and mokomoko wrapped tightly around her. It was a sign of submission and obedience in the dog demon culture and it excited his beast. 'Silence' he growled. His beast whimpered, but quit its pacing and lay down to watch the young priestess. Her hand grasped the silk tightly and she whimpered softly, the scent of salt increasing. Sesshomaru purred softly, the sound vibrating through his body and quieting Kagome's whimpers. Once she had quieted enough The Demon Lord began to run his claws through the maiden's raven colored locks again. He rested his chin against his chest, hoping his memories would not return to him, as he sighed deeply. "This is not going to turn out well," he whispered, barely audible even to his ears as he fell into a light slumber.
A soft morning breeze swept through the campsite, brushing over a young maiden's exposed calves as a wave of long silver hair shrouded her face from the world, slightly disturbing her sleep. Her dreams, for the majority of the night, had been peaceful for the first time in a very long time. There was no blood or death, no tears or screams of her friends, no agony. A foreign warmth surrounding her thighs and abdomen oddly comforted her even further and made her feel safe beyond belief, for she had never felt so safe in Inuyasha's arms, as she felt the blood pulse through it. 'Wait, blood' she squeaked. Her blue eyes snapped open and she tried to look around only seeing silk. Reaching out, she gently ran her fingers over the soft material, trying to calm herself down. 'Who wears silk' she questioned softly. Kagome tried to shift, but the foreign object around her waist tightened and held her still. She looked down to see her body surrounded by white fluff. She reached down and ran her fingers through the soft fur, feeling a sensation similar to a purr. "So soft," she mumbled. Her entire body froze when she heard a deep growl coming from above her. Looking up, she gazed into the crimson eyes of The Demon Lord. She cried out in shock and tried to pull away, but he snarled and rested his forehead against her raven hair. The young maiden dared not make a move as the demon inhaled deeply and purred. Slowly, she stretched up and placed her hand on his marked cheek. She stroked his magenta stripes gently while he allowed his tinted eyes to fall closed. She stopped mid-stroke when she heard a growl coming from the opposite side of the camp. Sesshoumaru wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to his chest as he snarled in return. "Sesshoumaru, you bastard, release her," Inuyasha spat. The Demon Lord bared his sharp fangs at the young half-breed. Kagome was sure if Inuyasha was a real dog his hackles would be raised and his fur would be standing straight up in fury while he snapped his fangs. "You don't own her! So shut up, back off, and butt out (A/N: Do you recognize what this is from the actual show? Prizes for anyone who does!)," Inuyasha roared. The volume of his voice awakened the rest of the pack. Shippo rubbed his green eyes and yawned widely while Kirara cocked her head to the side in confusion. "Inuyasha, relax," Miroku mumbled tiredly, placing his hand on his friend's shoulder. The half-breed's body tensed and he did not lower his growling. Kagome sighed in Sesshoumaru's arm and looked up at him again. "Sesshoumaru," he looked down at her, "Please release me." He whimpered quietly, but did as he was asked and slowly unwrapped his arm from around her torso. She stood up and gently uncoiled mokomoko before looking at her best friend. "Inuyasha," she said sweetly. His amber eyes widened and he gulped. "Sit boy," she barked. He crashed to the ground and grumbled in the crater his body created. Sighing once again, Kagome walked over to the hole in the earth and looked down at the white haired half-demon. She kneeled down and whispered, "When will you learn, Inuyasha? You can't control what I do or who I am with." He snarled and picked his head up, slightly shaking the dirt out of his bangs. "You are mine, Kagome," he barked. Her blue eyes widened and she expected her heart to go racing, but only fury rolled through her body. "Sit boy! I am not yours! I don't belong to anyone! I am my own person so get that through that thick skull of yours," she yelled. The red in Sesshoumaru's eyes had faded and he was now chuckling slightly at his half-brother's misery. 'Serves the fool right. He should know better by now' he said. His beast growled in agreement. He gracefully stood up and looked down at Inuyasha. "Stay," he ordered. Inuyasha picked his head up again and snarled at him. "What," he snapped fiercely, "You can't tell me what to do! This is my pack!" Sesshoumaru's golden eyes narrowed and bared his longer fangs. "I am your alpha and you shall listen to me. Now stay until I return with my pack," he stated in a bored tone. Kagome cocked her head to the side. "You are bringing Rin," she questioned gently her blue eyes shining with hope. He nodded his mane of silver hair causing it to fall back over his shoulder. She smiled brightly causing her face to brighten. "May I come with you, Sesshoumaru? It has been quite some time since I have seen her," the young priestess asked happily. The Demon Lord blinked slowly before nodding his head once again. "Thank you," she replied, bowing her head faintly. "Hn." She smiled and turned her head to look at the young fox, which had jumped onto her shoulder. "Rin is coming to play with me," questioned the auburn haired kit, his green eyes sparkling happily. Kagome's smile widened and she nodded. He cheered and ran over to Kirara and Kohaku. The young maiden smiled peacefully at her little boy chattering happily with his friends. "If you wish to come, let's be off, girl," Sesshoumaru said as he walked away from the small pack. "Of course," she giggled and raced after him. Inuyasha snarled.
A/N: I sorry it took so long to post, but my computer decided to stop working randomly. I hope it doesn't happen again and I can post chapter five soon. Please review! NEW NOTE: Well I think that's correct, but knowing me I probably read over something. Not really a surprise seeing it's six a.m. and I didn't sleep at all. Well that just proves I'm an idiot! I'm starting to feel like Inuyasha lol
