Chapter 12

Warmth, was all Kagome felt, and something tapping on her upper thigh. Kagome wanted to sit up but found that she was obliged that will. Strong arms encircled her body realising she was up against a chest, a man's chest. Kagome did not like this, remembering she was a demon she slipped skilfully out of his grip , seeing a necklace that had her scent on it she put it in her pocket and was once again out the window. She did not truly know what he meant when Youko said that all he wanted was here. Was this a sexual desire? Did he only want to soil her body and be done for, for is that not what all men want, to take a woman to breed more, hopefully men. Kagome was confused and she ran to a stream, the current was strong as it splashed amongst the rocks.

"Argh, give me the Shikon no tama bitch, and I will make your death quick and painless." A boar demon shot out of the forest and was demanding something from her she did not know what it was.

"I cannot comply, for I do not know what you seek." Kagome responded in fear

"Then I will pry it from your dead claws." It responded as it lunged towards Kagome, it, however, mistakenly threw Kagome in the crashing river and it lost the Shikon no Tama from its grasp. It followed the path of the river hoping to find Kagome again; however, her scent was fading

Kagome was crashing through the current, hitting rocks along its path as it was trying to pull her down into its current. Kagome shot through the current's surface numerous times gasping for air. She saw the Boar demon following the river, deciding it be best if she stayed below.

Falling water Loud Grumbling Crash

A waterfall Kagome panicked and tried to swim to shore, but the current pulled her back forcing her to take the plunge.

Down Down Down

Kagome fell into the water's pool below that carried out to a smaller stream.

She did not surface

The boar was waiting for her to reach shore, hiding in the bushes

She did not surface

A breath of air, Kagome hat hit a rock at the bottom of the water's pool, knocking her out for a brief second. Surfacing she waddled to the edge taking deep breaths.

"Foolish bitch, I can now take you easily." The boar demon came out with its claws ready to strike

Youko woke up, missing the warmth of a body beside him, realizing fully that she was gone he jumped out of bed and smelled that her scent had ventured into the forest. Jumping out the window and into the forest. He searched her scent as it collided with a Boar demon and smelt it in the river; he followed it down the river in panic: How dare anyone hurt my mate. Her blood was spilled; in rage he followed the river in anxiety and anger.

Kagome jumped avoiding his claws, yet not knowing her full potential, the demon sliced her stomach deep. Crying in pain Kagome fell over receiving another blow to the face and her chest. Thinking it was over Kagome awaited the demon to strike, she saw its claws at the ready but it was pierced by thorns? Flowers tortured his body to lifelessness, she watched as its body struggled, for fear she jumped back in the pool, staying away from the beast. She saw Youko landing in front of the beast snarling dangerously and watched the flowers disappear. Youko turned to her coming near the pools edge, but Kagome backed away allowing herself to go deeper as the water washed away the blood from her body only to poison the waters clear color in red. Youko had an upset face. No scratch that, angry face that made Kagome quiver to move even farther back. He took of some of his garments showing his well toned body and strode into the water after Kagome, in which, she moved back into the water, she continued on till the ground was no more and slipped into the deep end, going under for a few seconds. Upon surfacing she came face to face with Youko who looked devious. He saw how the water became colored and became angry, not only upon the creature who did this but, he became angry at Kagome. He carefully, minding her wounds, snaked his arms around her waist refusing her to let go when she struggled.

Why did you run away, why Youko asked in a harsh voice

She did not answer, she feared him. She placed her hands upon his chest and closed her eyes

Answer me Kagome

I am sorry, it is not my place, I have done wrong forgive me She answered. She opened her eyes and looked upon the ground.

Youko surprised her by lifting her chin up and crashing his lips upon hers. Caressing her cheek with his claws he slid his tongue into her mouth savouring the taste.

Kagome was in heaven, was it forbidden for a woman to feel like this, at this moment Kagome was beginning to fret upon, in which Youko sensed. Deciding to leave it, he departed his lips and lifted her into his arms, grabbing his garments, and carrying her back to the castle. He ignored all the murmurs going on amongst him and entered his chambers lying Kagome upon the bed. Kagome remembered she was wet and sprung up immediately. She rushed and grabbed a nearest towel drying herself off wincing at her wounds. Youko was immediately at her side caressing her cheek to relieve her of the pain. He softly placed her back on the bed he began licking her wounds savaged upon her face, chest, and stomach. Kagome was astonished by this; his tongue was healing her body, his tongue. Oh god, why does this feel so right.

Youko allowed himself to linger longer upon her body, savouring her taste. He then when and laid his head upon her chest.

"Angel, why is it you fear me?" He asked a bit too harshly

Kagome took her time to answer thinking it be best to come straight out with it.

"It is not proper for a man to be affectionate to a woman." She responded flatly showing no emotion

Youko moved up and decided to look upon her face

"No Kagome, it is proper, and very right, your village was trying to change that, for woman to be property, nothing more. Kagome, in the real world, woman are our most precious sight. They are not property in the way your village showed it, they are allowed to make choices." He spoke sincerely

Kagome looked away from him; Youko in return turned her head towards him and kissed her passionately. Kagome allowed him but did not return the passion. She lay still, not allowing passion to overrule her senses. Youko realized that she was not giving in and left it.

"Angel I will return later today, you may venture out into the village, but may I remind you, you are to remain in the village and not venture forth, I will find you." Youko spoke and left through the door, Kagome turned her head and saw right beside her hand a white rose. Kagome smiled and took it, she got up, a young woman came into the room carrying something in her hands.

"Hello miss, my name is Anike; I work here in the household. I have brought some clothes for you." The woman showed her several dresses in which Kagome was awed at.

"If I may ask, what is this color?" Kagome picked up one of the dresses

"Miss, that color is pink, have you never heard of it?" Anike asked

"No miss, I am sorry if I am unknowledgeable of certain things." Kagome apologized

Anike smiled at Kagome sincerely

"Do not worry miss, I understand. Anike spoke.

Kagome took off her old clothing and let them shed to the floor; she placed on the pink dress in which Anike helped her tie. It was a well fit dress that hugged her curves, in which it slightly puffed out by the waist, however only slightly giving it a nice flow, the dress had different sorts of pink and flowers were the printings. The shoulders had a nice puffed up fabric, it showed off some of her cleavage. her front hairs were taken and pulled back in a nice pink ribbon.

Miss Kagome, you do look lovely. Anike said

Thank you, I have never worn something so beautiful, I do feel out of place thought. Kagome responded

You are not out of place, you are the guest of Lord Youko, you are dressed as such, no go and get some air, . Anike said

Kagome remembered to grab her necklace and placed it in the dress by her breasts, she did not wish to put it on, the necklace scared her for being beneath her skin.

Kagome walked out of the room in her shoes, they were a tad higher and she had to concentrate on balancing.

Kagome, is that you. Ayame, Rin and Sango approached her from behind.

Kagome turned and smiled at the trio.

It is good to see you, Kagome turned and hugged each of them individually

Kagome, look at you, you look so different. Ayame said

Yes, it is quite nice, but I do not feel proper enough to wear it, they call the color pink. It's quite lovely. Kagome spoke.

You look gorgeous in it Kagome, do not think otherwise. Come shall we get something to eat?" Sango asked

The girls nodded and headed towards a stand and grabbed 4 apples.

"What are we going to do for the rest of the day? I was told not to leave the village, although I am not quite sure why." Kagome asked

"Well I am bored, can we play?" Rin asked looking so innocent

"Well I am not so sure what we can play." Ayame said Kagome saw a field full of flowers

"Why don't we all make flower tiaras?" Rin jumped in Kagome than realized that Rin followed her eyes.

The girls agreed and headed to the fields. Kagome felt so right, so, protected sitting in the middle of the field but she did not know why.

"Kagome, look what I made you." Rin came with a flower tiara and placed it on her head

" Ooh, Perdy." Rin said

All of a sudden droplets fell on the girls.

"Best be we head inside, Kagome go to the castle you can make it in time." Sango said

Kagome nodded and made her way to the castle minding her footing from her shoes.

She walked to the gates, and past the guards, she walked inside with a few droplets on her as suddenly it all came down. Kagome stood at the door watching the rain fall, it made it colder outside and Kagome shivered slightly so she shut the door behind her.

"You truly are an angel, even the tiara fits." Youko spoke from behind her wrapping her up in his arms circling his tail around her.

Kagome looked behind her and for once she smiled up at Youko.

"come angel, you need something warmer to wear." Youko took hold of Kagome's hand and led her up the stairs.
