I am reposting this chapter. It is very different from the previous posted chapter. I had a review come in that express the vagueness of some of the characters emkotions and thoughts. So here it is, the New Chapter 10 better and improved. -Sesshoumara-hime, LOL

READ AND REVIEW

Previous chapter...

Kagome and Sango had finally reached the springs, and was now currently relaxing in the rejuvenating hot spring

Kagome and Sango had finally reached the springs, and was now currently relaxing in the rejuvenating hot spring. It was quiet in the forest this evening, which was gladly welcome by both females. The day had been crazy, and weird to say the least. The two figures in the now quickly approaching darkness, lay completely still with only their slow intake of air, and the rise and fall of their chest to accompany the usual sounds of insects and fallen leaves.

"Aa, this is nice," Kagome commented to no one in particular, "I just love these hot springs. It is so nice to just relax."

"Um." Sango replied, not wanting to exhaust anymore energy than what was necessary.

The steam rose heavily from the hot spring; creating a thick blanket of mist and fog to shield the girls from unwanted attention, however, the mist would not be enough to keep out the presence that lay hidden within the forest.

"Hey, Sango?"

"Yeah, Kagome?"

"Do you feel that?"

"Feel what?"

Kagome turned around only to be meet with a shadowy figure in the distance. Pointing a delicate finger in the mist covered spring,

"That. Do you feel that?"

Chapter 10- Love Triangle Turn Pentagon, Part III: The Arrival

Kagome was frozen with major shock, a little bit of fear, and total amazement. It was a female, dressed in the fineness silks, covered in glittering jewels of many different shapes and colors. (A/N: think Curse of the Golden Flower) It was obvious that she was from a royal family, one with loads of money. She even wore this air of superiority and grace that seem so very familiar to Kagome. It was as if the heavens had opened up and she appeared before the two women: one obviously filled with fear and the other mystified by such a regal appearance.

'Who is she?' Kagome thought, 'Such a beautiful woman.'

"Kagome, we should go. I don't think this a friendly visit from the looks of her aura." Sango urged.

Kagome seemed unaware of her friend's uneasiness, and very unaware that their current visitor was no ordinary woman but a demon.

'What is with Kagome today? Her brain doesn't seem to be working very well. Damn dog demons,' Sango cursed to herself.

"Kagome, snap out of it. We need to get out of here!"

"Yes indeed." Spoke the unknown she-demon.

'It spoke…Wait it spoke. Holy crap it spoke.' Kagome suddenly seemed very aware of the danger she was in. She had been so caught up the demoness appearance that she didn't even realize that the unknown woman was no woman at all.

'Kagome you have got to get it together. She is not even kissing you (i.e. Kenji and Sesshoumaru) and she already has you distracted,' Kagome chanted to herself.

Finally realizing her grave error in judgment; she suddenly plagued with panic and fear. Hitting her like a ton of bricks.

'I was going to die. I am going to be killed by a beautiful demoness with a major chip on her shoulder, and I am never going to have sex with Sesshoumaru, and my whole life was a complete waste of time because she was still god damn virgin,' Kagome ranted in her head.

"What vexes you, little one? Have you finally realized who I am?" said the demoness, flashing Kagome and Sango her fangs.

'I mean what is the deal with all these demons thinking that they are so high and mighty that every being they consider to be under their greatness must know who they are? Arrogance; it must have no limit.' Kagome thought.

"Who you are?" Kagome whispered to herself.

"Should I know who you are?" Kagome asked.

"Indeed little one. I am the decider of your fate, and the destroyer of your heart. I am Lady Haikisaki, mate to Inu no Taisho, mother of Sesshoumaru and Kenji, step mother to Inuyasha, Lady of the Western Lands, and you priestess are its downfall."

'Oh great,' Kagome thought, 'Just what I need, another member of the Taisho clan harassing me. I'm cursed. I am simply just cursed to be caught in the middle of feuding dog demons. Oh brother.'

Meanwhile…

"Onii-sama, do try to calm yourself. It would not be prudent to you if you harm the Eastern Lord's son. He is after all just a pup," Kenji pleaded with his beast driven brother.

The demon lord had quickly to a hold to the Eastern prince's neck after his very disrespectful declaration that Kagome was indeed the Eastern prince's woman and no one elses. Consequently, such a bold declaration almost cost Kouga dearly if it was not for Kenji.

"Why should this Sesshoumaru listen to anything the mutt has to say? It would be a waste of my time," red eyed Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yes, I understand but killing him would not be the best for our father's lands; for our lands. The very lands that we swear to protect. Personally I do not care about your jealously over such a frivolous thing as a human woman. They are only good for two things," Kenji stated matter of factly.

"Oh yeah and what would that be," Kouga questioned, now that he had full use of his vocal chords once again.

"One is sex and the other is: please refer to the first reason."

Kenji was now thoroughly pleased with himself. He had successful pissed off his brother and the annoying wolf all at the same time.

'Man what I wouldn't give to have Inuyasha present to hear this,' Kenji thought to himself.

Kouga was shocked, if he had the brain function right now to reply he would have. He could not believe the old dog had just said that.

'I mean the first was right but...'

"I mean that is what you two are after, after all. The priestess virginity?" Kenji questioned.

'Now he was mad. How dare that dog say such a thing? Like this Sesshoumaru has no other reason to be interested in her. I am lord; I can have any female that I want if that was the case. I do not need the body of human woman to satisfy this Sesshoumaru's urges. The mutt was going to pay.'

GROWL "You perverted mutt, how dare you speak of MY Kagome in that way!" Kouga fumed.

'Oh the stupid wolf did it again. Oh man this going to be entertaining.' Kenji thought.

GROWL "Your Kagome...?" Sesshoumaru growled at the dense wolf demon.

Meanwhile...

"Oneechan, we have finally arrived. We have finally made to the Western Castle."

"Yes, and if everything goes as planned; we will never be leaving."

The older of the two smiled to herself as their carriage ride was drawing to their destination, and ultimately their fate.

A/N

Haikisakiname means crescent moon queen ( I made up the name from HAImeaning crescent moon and KISAKImeaning queen. Since Sesshoumaru mother has the exact same markings as him, see Manga.)

Kenjimeans Intelligent second son; strong and vigorous (it fits since Kenji in my story is the second born second to Inu no Taisho and has a knack of getting himself out of trouble or is that luck, LOL)
