Hey sorry about the long wait. This is my third story so I'm still kind a new at this. But I am a good writer I assure you. Next I will write a song. That is my specialty. But I decided to write 3 more chapters instead of 4. So without further adew, the rest of the story. Enjoy!

Chapter 10 – A Big Mistake!

It was morning when the group woke up to a very sunny sky. The group all groaned due to the sunlight in their eyes. Soon their eyes grew as wide as they could go when they saw Kagome who not human, but a demon. She was the exact copy of Sesshoumaru only that her hair and tial is still black and her markings are pink. They was in deep awe. Kagome got up to see what everyone was looking at. Sango brought her a mirror from her backpack and gave it to her.

Kagome: OH!... Wha...Huh?...Wow! Look at me!

Sango: Kagome you're beautiful. Sesshoumaru really made you pretty.

Kagome: I see. Wow. I guess it comes with the territory (giggles).

She then got up, cleaned herself and fixed everyone some breakfast. The group then ate and went about their way. Inuyasha took up the rear as the rest traveled on. Kagome and Sesshoumaru led the way. He was really impressed on how his mate looked now that she is a demon. He was still a bit concerned about the events of last night.

Sesshoumaru: Are you alright, mate?

Kagome: Yeah I'm fine. Thanks though.

Sesshoumaru: It's my duty to protect, and to love.

Kagome: I see. Well...you didn't mention that I would turn into a demon though...still thanks.

Sesshoumaru (grabbing her hand): I'm sorry and you are welcome.

The group came upon a cave that was deep inside a hill. Their curiousity got the better of them and they decided to explore the cave. What they found was that the cave was covered in limestone, shiny rocks covered the cavern. Kagome looked it despite it nature. Kouga and the wolves kept on alert as was Sesshoumaru.

Miroku: I know that there is no danger here, but what if you all say that we split up and go exploring a bit on our own. It shouldn't hurt to look a little.

Sango: Mm. I don''t know Miroku. What you think Sesshoumaru?

Sesshoumaru: My aura doesn't pick up anything for a few miles. It probably wouldn't hurt to go and look. We will meet here in half an hour...Jaken.

Jaken: Yes Milord.

Sesshoumaru: You will travel with the kids and Ah-Un to assure their safety.

Jaken: Yes Milord.

Sesshoumaru: And take note Jaken. If even one of the children are injured, I will have your head on a metal pike.

Jaken (shaking): Y-y-yes Milord. I will protect them properly.

Sesshoumaru: Good. Is that enough time Kagome?

Kagome: That's plenty of time for me. Alright guys?

Everyone agreed as they went off on their own. Kagome took one direction, Sango with Kilala another, Inuyasha on one, Kouga on one, Ginta & Hakkaku and the underlings on one, Ah-Un, Jaken and the kids on another. They explored the cave with such admiration. Sesshoumaru walks through the cavern and luckily walked into his mate as she turned another corner. They halted and look at each other in the eyes.

Sesshoumaru: We have to find our way back to the entrance. This time you will not be apart from me...I missed you.

Kagome (shocked and relieved): I missed you too!

Kagome then jumped into her mate's arms and gave him chastey kiss. She then got down and they both walked to what he believe to be the way to the entrance. Soon the others also found their way back to the entrance and told about what they found.

Kagome: That's great! So is everybody here?

Inuyasha: Everyone except that mangy wolf!

Kagome: Well, he'll catch up to us, let's get...hey Sesshoumaru., where are we going?

Inuyasha: Let me guess. Since we're still heading West, we're going to your castle.

Sesshoumaru: You just now figured it out little brother. I'm surprised.

Inuyasha (growled): Shut up!

Kagome: Are we really going to your castle?
Sesshoumaru: Yes.

Sango: Where we can actually sleep in beds for awhile and eat warm yummy foods and sit out in the gardens?

Sesshoumaru: Yes. You are also welcome to stay as long as you wish.

Sango (giggles): I don't think once I get there that I would want to leave.

Kagome: Oh Sango. Ok then let's go.

The group continued to go West towards his castle. Inuyasha just grumbles as he walked ahead of the group. This time Sesshoumaru and Kagome took the rear since he wanted to have a small talk with his mate.

Sesshoumaru: Kagome?

Kagome: Hm, yes (coming out of her thought).

Sesshoumaru: You know that you are now Lady of the Western Lands, right? (she nods). Well why you were sleeping last night, I informed Jaken of your new title and was told to take Ah-Un to to take him to the castle and inform the staff of your soon arrival.

Kagome: Oh. Well that's fine.

Sesshoumaru: When you get there you will be treated and respect as such. You have all the access of the castle at your disposal. My staff is yours as well.

Kagome: Great. What's yours is mines now, right?

Sesshoumaru: Correct.

Kagome: I'm royalty now. How cool is that?

Sesshoumaru: Very.

Kagome (giggles): I see. It's almost time for lunch. Isn't it?

Sesshoumaru: Yes it is. We'll eat soon.

Kagome: Okay.

With that the group head out to their destination. Suddenly, they see soul collecters flying towards them. Within the twisted bodies was Kikyo holding her bow.. The others did not want to see her now, but Inuyasha thought otherwise as he jogged towards her. Kagome was sure as hell did not want to see her. She know that there will another argument coming between them soon. As she landed, no less then five feet from the group, she had a sad look on her face. Inuyasha was concerned and ask why she was so sad.

Inuyasha: Kikyo, what's wrong?

Kikyo: The baby...

Inuyasha: What about it?

Kikyo: I lost it two days ago.

Inuyasha: Oh, Kikyo I'm so sorry about that (and he embraces her).

Kagome (huffed): Why is he soo apologetic to her when he couln't even apologize to me and Shippo like that.

Sango: Well, she is his mate.

Kagome: Still Sango.

Miroku: Maybe we need to leave them to themselves.

Kagome: Fine, I don't want to be around her no way. Let's go.

Kikyo: Kagome (pushing her mate out the way slightly), you haven't said hi to your step-sister.

Kagome: What??

Kikyo: Inuyasha just told me that you're mated to his brother, that makes us step siblings.

Kagome: Hm! So!

Kikyo: So we are family now, and you haven't said hi to me.

Kagome: If that makes your ass happy then here, hi.

Inuyasha: Why you're being so mean Kagome?

Kagome: Huh, I guess you didn't tell Kikyo everything now did you? You didn't tell her that you hit the hell out of Shippo, you didn't tell her that you bad-mouth Sango, and you damn well didn't tell her that you slap the shit out of me which all happened yesterday!! Tell your mate that you hit women Inuyasha!

Kikyo (now concerned): Is this true Inuyasha? Tell me and don't lie.

Inuyasha: Uh...you see...

Kikyo (pushed him away): So it is true! Would you do that to me if I pushed your nerves?

Inuyasha: What?! Kikyo...I wouldn't...

Kikyo: I told you don't lie to me. If you did that to them then you'll do it to me.

Inuyasha: No Kikyo, I wouldn't. I love you too much.

Kikyo: I sensed your temper is getting out of control. Most likey you will hit me. And you know if you do hit me, I will fry your ass!

Inuyasha: Grr...you see what the fuck you did Kagome!!

Kagome: If you would've did that then I would've said anything. So it's all your fault!

Sesshoumaru: You brought this all on yourself, brother.

Inuyasha: Shut the fuck up now before I seriously hurt you!!

Sesshoumaru: IF you can hurt me, you can barely kill me.

Kagome: Come on guys let's go. Let's leave these two alone. Besides, I don't want to be near him and I'm still thinking about accepting his stupid excuse for an apology.

Inuyasha: Kagome! If you...

Sesshoumaru (growled): I would watch your tounge if I were you!

Kikyo: Inuyasha! I never seen you like this. So what she says is all true. You will hit me when you have the chance.

Inuyasha: Shut up! I said I wouldn't hit your ass Kikyo!

The group began to walk on leaving a very angered hanyou behind with his now sadden mate. Kagome didn't want to be with either of them right now. But Kikyo started to question Inuyasha and again their curiousity got to them as they stopped feet from where the two stood. Kikyo now didn't want to be with him either, not knowing why her mate is changing so much.

Kikyo: Why Inuyasha? Why are you changing so much? Is it me?

Inuyasha: No.

Kikyo: Is it us?
Inuyasha: No.

Kikyo: Is it that we are mates?

Inuyasha: No, dammit!

Kikyo (upset): Well then why the hell is your temper so flared?!

Inuyasha (pissed): Because I didn't want Kagome to be with that ass of a brother of mine and be with me! I would have the both of you! And there's isn't you nor her could do about it! I would control the both of you! She'll see that being with my brother will be a big mistake. And since I don't have her and have you it's pretty damn pointless.

Kikyo (tears forming): Was I a mistake Inuyasha? Did you really intend on being with me?

Inuyasha: Did your ass just hear me?!

Kikyo: Loud and clear. Well, I'll be going now, I won't be your mate anymore.

Inuyasha: Like hell you will! You're not going anywhere. You're traveling with us!

Kagome: Like hell she is!

The group was shock when they heard Inuyasha answer Kikyo's question. They really are concerned about their friends behavior more then ever. But when he asked her to travel with the group, Kagome still wouldn't have it, step-sister or not.

Inuyasha: What the fuck your punk ass said?!

Miroku: Inuyasha! You will apologize...

Inuyasha: I won't do SHIT! Kikyo is my mate!

Kikyo: Not anymore!

And with that Kikyo glowed a light pink and a slight breeze rushed through Kikyo revealing the mating mark Inuyasha placed on her. Then the mark vanishes along with the small features that tells others that she's taken. She then released the pink glow and gave a sigh.

Kikyo: With the way you are now Inuyasha, there is no way that I can be your mate and live the life that I don't want. I will take my leave and return to the village I once came from (she turns and started to walk away when she was stopped by filth-mouth hanyou).

Inuyasha: Ha! I can always mark you again you ungrateful bitch!

In a swift move Kikyo took an arrow, notched it and fired at Inuyasha which hit him dead in the shoulder. With a grunt, Inuyasha pulled out the arrow and look at his now former mate.

Kikyo: Since I'm a mistake, you wouldn't dare try to follow me again now would you?
Inuyasha: You didn't have to shoot me wench!

Kikyo: Now that I'm not your mate, I can do whatever I want. In fact I thought something would happen like this and I was well prepared. Goodnye Inuyasha.

And with that, the soul collecters picked up their master and flew away from the hanyou's sight. Inuyasha straightened up and looked at the group Kagome knew what he was going to say.

Kagome: And don't think that you're going to resume your position here. Besides, you have no say now, and you know that.

Sesshoumaru: Let me reassure you to watch your mouth (putting his arm around his mate's waist). Well, let us continue on.
