Chapter 8

Flashback

Kagome was walking down the hall when she smelled a familiar sent. "Inuyasha," she breathed.

"Kagome," his voice filled the air.

Kagome turned. He looked sad, and he had recently been in a battle. She looked at him unable to speak. He didn't seem to be able to either. It seemed like they stood there for hours, when really, it had only ben a few minutes before Sesshomaru walked into the hall.

"Well I see you've found her," he said.

He looked at Sesshomaru with murder in his eyes. Did he know? Of course he knew. He could probably smell the child. He lunged at Sesshomaru. Kagome stepped in fron of him with in-human speed. Then did he finally realize she was no longer his Kagome, but another he was not ready to meet. Though, as he lunged at him, it turning into her, his claws grazed her neck, and all hell broke lose.

End Flash Back

Blood was streaming down her neck while she fought with sesshomaru against Inuyasha.

When Inuyasha tried to grab me and take me away, Sesshomaru nearly cut his hand off with his tokijin.

"She is MINE!" he said protectively.

"She'll never be yours!" he also exclaimed.

Inuyasha slashed at Sesshomaru, but he easily dodged him. Sesshomaru sheathed his sword and let his claws drip with poison. She caught Inuyasha by the arm. There was a sick cracking sound and he let out a sqeal of pain. Sesshomaru put him down, and while his back was turned he went to strike.

Kagome swiftly punched him in the ribskm, knocking him to the grouned.. She was sure she had broken a few. He tried to stand.

"Inuyasha," She said.

He looked at her.

"SIT," was all she had to say to make him fold.

Sesshomaru smiled. His soon to be wife was strong. Almost stronger than he himself. He liked it.

"Do you want me to..." he stopped talking seeing that his lovely mate was crying.

He took her to their bedroom and tried to soothe her.

"Shh it's ok," he said "it's ok."

"He has to ruin everything." she stated.

"I know," he said "I know."

She cried until she fell asleep in his arms. He had just placed a kiss on her forehead when Koga, the leader of the wolves, had walked into the room.

He stared at them in surprise.

"I didn't think it was true, the rumors." he said sadly.

Sesshomaru nodded. It seemed that's all he had to do. Koga walked out of the room.

'Dammit! He thought ' she's already got his sent all over her! Dammit! I cant do anything about it...'

He started to run. He ran from the castle. He needed some air. He certainly wasn't going to their wedding ceremony. ' I have to talk to her' he thought. ' I need to make sure this is what she really wants.'

Kagome awoke to a breath on her face. She looked up to find a sleeping sesshomaru. She didn't want to wake him up so she just layed their, until Koga walked into the room.

She smiled " hello Koga, Old friend."

He smiled back. He didn't like the way she had called him just a 'friend'. He needed to show her he wanted to be more. To make her happy.

Kagome carefully got out of Sesshomaru's grasp. She stood up and motioned for Koga to follow.

They went into the guest room and she sat down on the bed. He sat down next to her.

"Koga," she said " I understand that you still have feelings for me and I respect that. You need to understand though, that I am engaged and I am going to bear Sesshomaru's children. I have loved you and always will love you, as a brother, nothing more." she paused finding her words.

'Ill do it now' he thought. 'while she is caught off-guard.

He leaned in quickly and before she could do anything kissed her full on the mouth. Before he knew it he was envelopedin fire.

"No one messes with my master's woman!" screamed Jaken has he triend to protect his mistress.

His screams of pain made Kagome wince. She put a barrier around Koga, the fire dissapearing as she did so.

"Jaken," she said " I do not recall telling you to burn my friend."

"S-sry mistress," he said scared.

She sighed "you do not have to be afraid of me I am not a hurtful as Sesshomaru is.

He sighed in releif. Then Sesshomaru walked in glaring at Koga.

"No," she said sensing his desire to kill her friend. He raised his eyebrows but obeyed, not wanting to hurt her further.

"Sesshomaru," she said "the wedding is tomorrow, correct?"

He nodded and she smiled.

"Time to pick out a wedding dress."

Well? How do you like it? Rate please! I own nothing. Please tell me what you think should happen next. I hope I did the 'but kicking' well enough.
