Alright, so my brain is getting super fried right now. I edited Ch. 1, 2, 3, & 4! So, let me know if you like them. They're a little bit longer. I added some more detail to them too.

I'm leaving this as a Inu/Kag pairing. Inufan57 stated the truth. No one would be left for Inuyasha if I gave Kags to Sesshou. Besides, I feel sorry for Inu right now. This will probably be my only Inu/Kag pairing, I'm not for sure though. So, I'm going to leave the kiss from Sesshoumaru alone. Him and Kagome will meet up again though! Hehe!

I will say that Sesshou is just as stubborn as Inu and Kags, so he will try to prove to Kags he is the better mate. So there will be some Sesshou/Kag pairing in this. Not too much though. Sorry to Inu lovers, but that's what happens when two men are trying to gain the attentions of one woman.

Anyways, don't forget to review for me!


Inuyasha paused as Sesshoumaru stepped in his path. Going on the defense instantly, he gripped Tetsaiga and growled at Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha didn't unsheathe his sword, he wanted to know what Sesshoumaru was up to. He kept his eyes narrowed on his older half-brother. They watched each other, not saying a word. Why hadn't he said anything?

Sesshoumaru gazed at Inuyasha coldly, thinking it a pity that Kagome had chosen the hanyou. He smirked for a moment, wondering what Inuyasha would do when he smelt Kagome on his person. The smirk fell from his face before he began to stride past him, ignoring Inuyasha's growls. He had grown bored with their fights, there was no true challenge. Unless, he wished to challenge for Kagome. That would definitely be interesting, especially with Inuyasha's youkai.

Just as Sesshoumaru stepped past him, a scent reached his nose. A deep snarl erupted from him as he whirled around, "Sesshoumaru!"

Sesshoumaru stopped a few paces away, his back still to Inuyasha.

They stood that way for what seemed like minutes. Inuyasha glared at Sesshoumaru's back then asked, "Why is Kagome's smell on you? Did you hurt her?!" He pulled Tetsaiga out, the sword transforming into it's true form.

Sesshoumaru said nothing, looking at Inuyasha over his shoulder, "Hn." He began to walk away again, knowing he was causing Inuyasha's anger to build.

Inuyasha quickly jumped over in front of Sesshoumaru, holding Tetsaiga in front of him. He growled, glaring up at him, "Answer me!"

Sesshoumaru stared at Inuyasha before raising his hand he had recently required. He crackled the knuckles in warning before stating simply, "Know your place, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha keh'd and raised a fist towards Sesshoumaru, "You will answer me, even if I have to beat it out of you!"

With that, Inuyasha let his fist fly. Sesshoumaru jumped back a few paces away and his fingers began to glow their poisonous green. His voice was firm when he said, "You are weaker than I thought, hanyou. Your nose should tell you what happened to your precious Kagome."

Inuyasha paused once again before taking in a deep sniff. He could smell Kagome's scent on Sesshoumaru. It was the normal cherry blossoms with rain... But there was a new smell to it too. Was that lightning? He sniffed again then began to growl softly. His face flushed with fury as he realized it was Kagome's arousal. He sheathed Tetsaiga and raised his own claws, growling low, "I'm going to kill you for touching her."

Sesshoumaru smirked and said, "So, you figured it out. The miko enjoyed this Sesshoumaru's attentions."

The thin wire holding Inuyasha's rage in place snapped. A roar erupted from within him as he raced towards Sesshoumaru, striking out, "Iron Raven Soul Stealer!" He missed, Sesshoumaru ended up above the trees. Inuyasha immediately followed him. He wasn't thinking straight, and that caused Sesshoumaru to have the advantage. Sesshoumaru struck his whip out, striking Inuyasha across the face. Inuyasha kept coming at him, so he landed a punch in Inuyasha's stomach, sending him flying. He landed back on his feet and waited for a moment. "Hn..." He turned and walked away, disappearing into the forest.

Inuyasha landed hard against the ground near Kagome. She sat up and blinked for a moment, then realized it was Inuyasha. She stood and ran over to him, crying out "Inuyasha!" She knelt beside him and gasped, seeing the scorch mark across his face. 'Sesshoumaru did this! Inuyasha must have found out... Oh no...' She sighed and watched him sit up slowly.

He groaned and opened his eyes, seeing Kagome beside him. The smell of her arousal was stronger around her. Sitting up, he stared at her for a moment then he growled softly, "Did you enjoy yourself?" As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them.

She jerked back from him and sat down, disbelief in her eyes. Was he mad at her? Well, of course he was. She was always mad at first when she saw him and Kikyo kissing. But this...was different. She didn't love Sesshoumaru. Yeah, he was attractive. What girl wouldn't be aroused by him? But it meant nothing to her, he meant nothing to her. She shook her head and murmured, "Inuyasha..."

He stood up and turned away, not wanting her to see him so weak. He clenched his hands into fists before stating, "Look, if you want Sesshoumaru, then fine. Go get him to help you. I'm not going to stick around to watch you two fuck each other." He growled at the thought of Sesshoumaru touching her and kissing her.

She whimpered softly, "Inuyasha, look at me..." When he didn't turn around, she stood and tugged on the back of his haori. "Listen to me. He kissed me, Inuyasha. It meant nothing to me." He still stood rigid, not budging. She began to grow angry. How many times had he run to Kikyo? How many times had they kissed and it actually meant something to him? She pushed away and stomped a few feet away. She glared at the grass as it began to blur, her eyes growing teary. "Inuyasha. How many times did you kiss Kikyo? Did it not mean something to you?"

She whirled around to look at him. He was turned towards her, his ears flat and his eyes solemn. She narrowed her teary eyes on his face, demanding, "Tell me, Inuyasha! Tell me it didn't mean anything to you!" When he said nothing, she smirked and shook her head "I thought so. Do not presume to judge me, Inuyasha. You are as guilty as I am. Everytime you ran to her and kissed her... I understand how you feel right now. I was always mad at you for running back to her when I loved you so much! But I forgave you!" She stomped her way back to the village, muttering about him being a baka and Sesshoumaru being an ass.

Inuyasha sighed and unclenched his fists. She hardly been back for a day and they were already in a fight. Could they not get past Kikyo?

She has a point, baka.

Shut up. Who asked you?

She is right, hanyou. You are ruining everything. Now, we have a challenger for our mate!

Keh, she won't choose him.

With the way you're going, she will. Do not make me come out.

Inuyasha growled at himself as he walked over to the river. He knelt down and managed to get a look at his face. The poison hadn't hurt him, it just stung. There was a scorch mark running from above his left eye to his right cheek. He grimaced before splashing some water over his face. He sat there and just stared at his reflection. There weren't any scars, no imperfections. He hadn't aged a day it seemed, but he felt like he had.

Letting out a sigh, he stood and headed towards the village. He knew what would happen if he had to fight Sesshoumaru. His youkai would take over, and he couldn't let that happen. He was too dangerous. He had to avoid a fight with Sesshoumaru at all costs when it came to claiming Kagome. He would just have to claim her without fighting. That was easier said than done.


Back at the hut, Sango was having a hard time calming Kagome down. The girl was so furious, her reiki was expanding and causing Musha to cower behind Sango, followed by a hissing Kirara. She had no idea what had her so upset. All she got so far was Inuyasha was a baka and Sesshoumaru was an ass. Kagome's powers were surfacing, causing her to glow a furious pink, lavender colored petals whirling around the hut. Although Kagome would never hurt anyone intentionally, she had to calm the girl down before she hurt a hanyou or demon.

Placing her hand on Kagome's shoulder, she murmured, "Kagome... Settle. You are scaring Musha."

Hearing the little hanyou's name, Kagome instantly calmed down. Her powers settled back into herself, petals floating softly to the ground before they vanished. She sighed, leaning back against the wall wearily.

Musha peaked out from behind Sango before walking over to Kagome. He settled on his haunches, sniffing the air. Feeling safe, he crawled into Kagome's lap and cuddled to her.

Welcoming the comfort, she tweaked his ears for a moment before looking at Sango, sighing "I'm sorry."

Sango nodded and settled Kirara back into her lap. Kirara kept her eyes on Kagome in case her tempered flared again. Sango tilted her head slightly, wondering what had gotten the girl so upset.

"Sesshoumaru kissed me..."

Sango gasped, her eyes going wide, "What?!"

Kagome closed her eyes before saying, "I was sitting at the river when he approached. He wasn't wearing his armor, Rin and Jaken were gone. Apparently, he left Rin in a village in the West. Anyways, he came really close to me. He-He touched my scar..." She raised a hand to her scar, her eyes swirling with emotion. "Then he kissed me... Sango, I've never experienced a kiss like this before. I didn't know what to do. So, I let him kiss me. And I think I kissed him back." She lowered her hand, looking over at her best friend.

Sango gazed at Kagome questioningly and murmured, "And Inuyasha?"

The miko sighed heavily, "He found Sesshoumaru moments later. He could smell...my arousal all over Sesshoumaru. I guess he tried to fight Sesshoumaru, but he ended up with a scorch mark on his face from Sesshoumaru's whip. He landed near me, and I went over to see that he was okay..." A lone tear fall down her cheek as she said, "He asked if I enjoyed myself. I knew then that he knew what happened. I tried to apologize and tell him it meant nothing, but he wouldn't listen. Stubborn as always, he told me to get Sesshoumaru to help me. But he wouldn't stick around to watch us..." She lowered her head, closing her teary eyes. More tears slipped down her cheeks. "I got angry. I asked him how many times he ran off with Kikyo and kissed her, how many times it meant something to him. He wouldn't answer me, but he didn't have to. I knew the answer. I always forgave him..."

Sango sighed softly before stating, "Sesshoumaru has presented a challenge to Inuyasha. By kissing you, he has staked a claim to become your mate."

Kagome blinked before gazing back at Sango "What?"

Sango smiled sadly "It's Inu youkai way, Kagome. Sesshoumaru placed his scent on you, and kissed you. Inuyasha's claim had died long ago when you left..." She shook her head in disappoint "I understand why he felt the way he did. But, remember Kagome. You left because you jumped to conclusions. And you're just as stubborn as he. Instead of staying to talk with him, you ran."

Kagome bristled at the way Sango was talking to her. She gritted her teeth before stating, "So this is my fault?"

Sango shook her head "No! Sesshoumaru kissing you isn't your fault. But, the fact that you left Inuyasha still remains. To him, it was like you were saying you didn't want to be his mate. Now that you're back and he hasn't kissed you, or marked you with his scent, you're free game to Sesshoumaru." She sighed and placed her hand on Kagome's, murmuring, "Inuyasha loves you. You know that. He will fight Sesshoumaru."

Kagome gripped her hand softly, nodding. "I understand. What if I allow Inuyasha to kiss me?"

Sango thought for a moment before warning the miko, "You'll have to be careful. Once that happens, Sesshoumaru will know. He will come to fight for you. It will be a fight to the death, Kagome. That is their way."

Kagome glanced down at Musha and shook her head "I don't want anyone to fight over me. Can I not just refuse Sesshoumaru?"

Sango grimaced as she stated, "That will be hard since the scent of your arousal was on him. He will not let you go that easily."

Kagome's groaned "Grreeeaaat..." She laid her head back, closing her eyes.

What was she to do? She loved Inuyasha, and she didn't want the two brothers fighting over her. She knew Inuyasha didn't stand a chance, Sesshoumaru was much too powerful. So, she wouldn't let Inuyasha claim her yet. She'd pay a visit to Sesshoumaru and break off whatever it was between them. Even if she decided not to mate Inuyasha, she wouldn't mate Sesshoumaru. He may know how to kiss, but he was still an asshole, and he tried to kill her in the past.


Whew, that took me a while. I started writing this almost a week ago. I kept getting stuck on what to do. So, review, my loves. And make sure you read the edited chapters. A few small details can make a big difference!

I will be updating 'Night of Lust' next. Also, I will be publishing a new one-shot called 'Toxic'. It will be a Sesshou/Kag pairing! Have a good day!
