Chapter 6

Teach Me

Inuyasha comfortably sat on the couch watching his Mistress scurry around the kitchen as she cooked something that smelled delicious. His clothes were and washed and now itch free, he had a place to sleep, and her cooking was great. Not to mention they were now two wishes away, so all he had to do was annoy the hell out of her till she made them, which he also found amusement in. Now if only she would stop bitching at him for every little thing.

"I can't believe you called me your mistress," she whined while removing her oven mitts, "do you know how much of a rumor mill that place is?"

"Be quiet," he growled trying to establish that he was the alpha male of this house, "your voice and smell make me sick, and for your information Mistress is another word for master, and since it was your bottle you're my Mistress."

"I know you didn't mean it that way, just like we all know you enjoy my smell and voice."

"Feh, whatever bitch."

"Sit boy," she smiled.

He collided into the ground and made sure to growl up a storm while removing himself, "You stupid slut."

"Quiet puppy," she giggled.

He dangerously stalked towards her, danger glinting in his amber eyes.

"Go away," she simply said ready to retreat back into the kitchen, but his arm rested against the wall blocking her way.

By that point he was too close for comfort. Both his arms rested on the wall trapping her between it and his chest that was vibrating from his low growls. He closed in some more so his nose was touching hers as the vibrations traveled on to her stomach giving her a strange feeling in her lower abdomen.

"Puppy?" he questioned in a light whisper that sent shivers through her body, "I'm not yours to give those doggy commands to."

She was going to apologize for her overuse of the sit word, but then she whimpered when his fangs began to lightly nip at the top of her ear. The feeling in-between her legs turned into a heat that was unbearable. Strange, Kouga had made the same move on her before, but she never felt this way.

"Maybe while I have this magic I should take advantage," his tongue now flicked at her ear lobe, "I could wait until you're seeping and turn you into a real puppy, that way you can't command me to change you back, and it will be you taking all the commands."

One of his claws gracefully slid through her hair, "Or better yet one of those furries you always see in anime porn. That way you can have your own little doggy ears while being a slave, so you'll know what it feels like. I think that would be the perfect punishment for you…"

A knock on the door made Inuyasha release a sharp growl before he sat Kagome free, "Now who in the hell is interrupting?"

Kagome was a little flushed as she sat on the floor trying to catch her words, "M- me and Kouga were going to have dinner Inuyasha."

He growled again, "Change of plans…maybe I'll use my magic to decapitate him."

"I command you not to do anything," she stood up for herself confidently knowing he couldn't break any commands, "listen Inuyasha, downstairs as you may have seen is a bookstore, it's closed right now, but why don't you use your magic to go down there and occupy yourself. Once Kouga is gone you can get some grub and we can talk."

"I don't want to read any goddamn books!"

"Please Inuyasha, if I don't answer right now he'll be suspicious, and downstairs is just enough distance to put between us."

What in the hell was wrong with her? She knew she had the power to just command him downstairs, but she was asking him? He really didn't feel like knowing he'd been forced anywhere against his will, so he would do it.

"Fine bitch, I'll be downstairs, but not because you asked me too."

"Thanks Inuyasha," she replied as he disappeared into the ground with a 'feh'.

"Kagome," Kouga eventually opened the door himself, thankfully at the right time, "what's wrong?"

"Nothing," she answered looking stupid as all get out staring at the floor he had disappeared down into.

He blinked, "Well is dinner done?"

Kagome quickly turned around and smiled. How stupid of her? This was going to be another special night between her and her fiancée before their marriage, why let that damn hanyou ruin it? He was obediently downstairs doing only kami knows what, but the important part was that he was not here. She didn't need to think of him.

"I just need to get it out of the oven, make yourself at home Kouga." She put her mitts back on and returned to the kitchen.

"It won't be your home for long," he dully noted heading towards the bathroom, "I'll be out in a second."

Kagome sighed as she fished out her lasagna, she hated it when he ragged on her apartment. Sure the rent was cheap and one hundred times below the standards of his pent house, but she'd worked decorating it and making it home sweet home. Honestly if it wasn't for Kouga's traditional methods of moving them into a far more 'family orientated place' as he put it she wouldn't have wanted to leave. She felt so much at peace here and there was room for two, and even a little Kagome or Kouga if so desired.

"Hey Kagome," the thought of her having to leave her home had her a bit on edge when Kouga addressed her coming out of the bathroom.

"What is it Kouga?" Now she was on her knees getting the garlic bread from the bottom rack.

With a very displeased look on his face he revealed his clothes that were crumbled in his arms, "I thought these would be washed by now, and what were they doing on the bathroom floor?"

Kagome froze feeling as though something was caught in her throat. He would be on to her now, not that there was anything to be guilty about. Inuyasha was just living with her, it wasn't as though they were in bed with each other or anything, but then again Inuyasha did have her in a very compromising position a while ago.

"Kouga I have a roommate," she decided she couldn't lie about it anymore, "I didn't know how to tell you, because you tend to get jealous when other men are around and his male."

"Damn right I'll be jealous! Was he the fucker who picked up the phone that night? And why is he wearing my clothes?"

"It was an accident," Kagome said not happy with this temper, "just calm down…he spent a lot on the security deposit here, and I thought it would help his financial situation a bit if he only paid half the rent here until I moved out. There's nothing going on."

"Heh, what about what they're saying at the club? That you're some rock star's mistress? At first I was going to ignore it since all the do is gossip there and you and mom worked out everything before the miracle, but now I'm a little suspicious Kagome."

Kagome rose her voice being very upset by this, "Kouga if you want me examined to prove that I'm still a virgin then we will do that, but afterwards the marriage is off. How can we be married if we don't trust each other? I don't even ask questions because I trust you, like don't you think it's a bit important to tell me that you have been engaged before, to a girl named Ayame?"

Kouga seemed to flinch, "Sorry Kagome, you're right. I just need to control my temper, I love you."

"What about Ayame?"

"She's just a girl from the past it doesn't matter, trust me."

Great, now he had the trust card, and he was going to play it. Kagome just sighed before she went to the table and set it. Usually for something like this she would have candles and fine plates, but she had been too busy being pinned to a wall by a jerk to do anything special. Speaking of which…

"Kouga," Kagome spoke his name softly getting close enough for him to wrap his arms around her.

"Kagome," he grunted before kissing her forehead.

"Can you do that thing you do?"

"What thing?"

"You know, the ear thing."

Kagome just stood in his arms as his tongue violated the sensitive spot of her ear. Either Kouga was having an awkward time with this because he was told to do it, or it just wasn't the same without Inuyasha doing it. What was it about him that had her turned on and flushed?

"Let's eat," she said breaking away.

"Where is this roommate of yours?"

"At work," Kagome said, "third shifter."

"Whatever, just make sure the fuck doesn't wear my clothes ever again.

"I told you to leave," Kikyo's eyes burned with fire when she spotted Inuyasha in the woods.

"Feh," he smirked at her, "as if Kikyo. Come on! We're leaving this damn place once and for all."

She shook her head, "Inuyasha a demon slayer has already seen you. Everyone who comes in contact with you has orders to end your life."

"Which is why we need to go fast."

"No."

His eyes widened as his love strung her bow and arrow and pointed right at his heart, "Sorry Inuyasha, but I have to follow orders."

"Kikyo, you can't be serious. You would kill me just because of your position!?"

Kikyo looked as though she was struggling with her decision. She couldn't kill him, they'd been in love. This couldn't be happening.

His heart had felt as though it was free from something grasping on to it and squeezing it once she lowered her weapon. He quickly ran to her and put her in an embrace, not wanting it to end.

"Inuyasha," she spoke, "sorry."

Pain. Searing white-hot pain and the feeling of betrayal was all that consumed his thoughts as another weapon of hers went through his chest.

"It's better for you this way my love. Soon demons will cease to exist, you are no longer needed in this world."

He had been stabbed in the chest, but he wasn't dying quick enough, why not? It should have been fatal.

"Inside you I have placed the shikon no tama, the jewel I once protected. Remove it you'll die…keep it and you'll be cursed, it will be your job to grant wishes no longer as a demon, and once 2000 humans have had their wishes granted the jewel will be powered up."

Things were fading into darkness, "Kikyo, why?"

"If the wishes cast upon it are pure the jewel will heal your heart, turn you into a human, and leave your body, ceasing to exist…if they are greedy, the jewel will consume your soul and you'll become a full fledged demon.

Damn that bitch Kagome! Every time he was around her he thought of Kikyo, but now the instructions ran over in his head over and over again. The fact that he would be a full demon after these wishes were granted were another reason he wanted Kagome to hurry up and do what she needed too. He would become a full youkai! All anyone ever wished for was money, immortality, power…everyone except-

That bitch! He didn't know how the whole process worked, but her wish wasn't greedy. Actually seeing as how it was her enemy she made the wish, on purpose or not, it was a bit too pure. What if her good-two-shoe wishes purified all the 2,000 years worth of greed and malice? He would become a human…no- he would not allow that. Just incase she could purify he had to make sure her next two wishes were about wealth or something else stupid. He wasn't going to go through this hell to be a mortal!

"Damn you Kikyo," Inuyasha cussed, "all I did was love you and wanted to help you, but you didn't trust me…you thought those slayers would get, and you didn't want to watch me die, so you did it yourself. You twisted bitch, I could have slaughtered them all and we would have had a life together."

"She wouldn't have wanted any blood shed, and it's like she killed you…just sent you away to be safe…"

That's what the small voice inside his head told him, but he told it to shut up before his thoughts reflected on his Mistress. He was pissed at her, and he didn't know why. After their encounter in the hallway she wouldn't be using anymore sit commands, but still he felt as though he had to punish her in some way to teach her he was a force to be reckoned with. He looked weak in front of Kikyo, and he just remembered how that ended.

After waiting for a couple of hours he figured that bastard Kouga was gone so he went upstairs, where she offered to heat up some food in the microwave.

She seemed distant. Had their encounter make the little virgin nervous around him? Good, at least that's what he thought at first.

That smell!

"You and him been making out or something?" Inuyasha asked stopping in front of the kitchen.

"Yes," Kagome didn't seem too happy about it though, "I mean we are getting married so…"

"Stupid," he lay on his futon no longer wanting anything to eat.

For some reason that had been the straw to break the camel's back. Why was he getting angry? Kagome wasn't his, and she was a human who'd caused him nothing but problems so far. Still…she would learn not to fuck around anymore when she could have been making the greed filled wishes that would set him free and turn him into a pure youkai finally.

She seemed disappointed that he wasn't going to eat, but eventually retired into her bedroom. His ears twitched listening for her breaths to even out, and when they eventually did he hopped up and slowly snuck into her room.

He had made up his mind on what her punishment was going to be. After this she wouldn't dare hesitate with the wish making, and she wouldn't have time to think of another pure hearted piece of shit.

"I warned you," he looked maniacal as his finger traced over the same ear his tongue and fangs touched earlier.

They glowed for a moment or two, but afterwards they reappeared at the top of her head as black dog-ears just like his, but there was more to it then that. He had altered her mind a bit as well as gave her a couple of fangs, but didn't bother with nails.

"A puppy," he happily noted standing up, "I warned you Kagome."

At his voice her dog ears twitched and she rolled over. Her chocolate colored eyes stared at him before she smiled.

"Master Inuyasha?"

Yes, he'd done it. Exacted the perfect revenge. She would learn what it felt like to be a slave, and when he turned her back she would learn to never piss him off again.
