Chapter 29: Demon Blood

By the time they made it back to the village Harry was feeling exhausted. What he did not know was his body was going through changes to fit being the mate of a full blooded demon, a mate that had sworn himself forever. He spotted Draco sleeping and wandered over to drop next to his friend, and he was vaguely aware of the hickey on the blonde's neck before sleep claimed him. He had the over whelming desire to just sleep forever and never wake up again.

Sesshomaru saw the smirk from his father and rolled his eyes before moving to sit with Kouga, Inuyasha, Inutaisho, Miroku and Lucius. The men were all sitting and watching as Kagome, Kaeda, Sango, and Narcissa played with Rin, Shippo, Ayami, Hakudoshi, Kohaku, and Kanna. Everything was going good until Lucius glanced at the sleeping teens and gasped out in shock before saying, "Why do they have dog ears!"

"What?" Inuyasha and Miroku asked turning to look at the teens. Neither of them knew anything about demon mating rituals, if they had Inuyasha would have caught on that Kouga was attempting to mate with him.

"They are becoming part of the Pack officially," Inutaisho explained, "When a demon finds their mate to be human they have their mate pledge to be with them forever and that pledge allows for their bodies to change after mating for the first time."

"You slept with my son!" Lucius squeaked out. He had known about the mating thing but had not actually thought Draco would allow it.

"Oh do shut up Lucius," Narcissa said as she moved over to sit down, "I helped set the boys up, and with this threat gone they deserve to be happy, and we need to go home now."

"How, the well doesn't take Draco to our time?" Lucius said obviously thinking the teen would be going with them. Seeing the small look he looked down disappointed, "He's staying here?"

"We'll see him on the other side, he'll be different and such," Narcissa said with a smile. She had spent part of the night talking to the two demons about the teen. "They are immortal now my love and Inutaisho promised to meet us on the other side of the well with Draco, Harry and Sesshomaru. Kagome is coming with us as well."

"After she passes through the well will close forever," Kaeda informed the others, "She has come back and managed to fulfill her destiny, but the well will take all of you home again and the boys will see you on the other side."

Inutaisho and Sesshomaru were more concerned about watching their mates. Harry had ink black pointed dog-ears while Draco had a yellowish gold with silver tipped pointed ears. Both teens had gotten a single mark on their face. A blue streak on Draco's right cheek and a purple line across the bridge of Harry's nose; they were finally becoming who they were meant to be.

When they saw Draco and Harry both waking they moved to pull their mate into their arms and jump off to a secluded place to be with them. Harry and Sesshomaru were high up in a weeping willow that blocked them from sight and the flowers covered their scents. Harry's green eyes opened and he smiled before kissing the demon's cheek; reaching up to trace his cheek lovingly he saw his clawed hands and blinked at them in confusion.

"You're a demon now my love," Sesshomaru explained kissing Harry's neck directly. The teen's eyes got wide and he smirked gently before capturing his lips in a kiss. "We mated, you pledged to be with me forever and in doing so you've become my other half, it's something like marriage with mortals, and we're bound forever."

"Oh," Harry said sheepishly as he thought about the night before and a blush slid up his neck as he remembered parts of the night before 'Getting a nudge to the cheek by the demon he smiled as he knew it was a sign of affection,' and 'shifting back to slowly take him in, his teeth catching his bottom lip as he very slowly took Sesshomaru in' those moments had his cheeks turning pink and the other demon was chuckling lightly at him.

Once the group was back together, Harry saw Draco's face was flushed also and wondered why until he saw the ears on the others head. Draco had noticed at the same time as him and they spoke as one, "Did you and - well yeah - when did you - this morning - no way! –Tell me –You first!" they said while making wild hand motions. Everyone else was really quite confused, especially when the two walked away talking.

"Pup," Inutaisho said looking at Inuyasha, "Close your eyes for a moment," as soon as his son did he smacked him upside the head and said, "Open your eyes you moron and pay attention to what's right in front of you!" Every other demon could tell Kouga was Inuyasha's mate.

Blinking Inuyasha rubbed his head and looked up, "It's just Kouga," he said obviously not getting it, until he saw the pointed stares from his father and brother and a hurt look from Kouga, suddenly his cheeks went pink and he stood up and was chasing after Harry and Draco.

AN: I wrote such a long chapter last time I lost steam this chapter lol, but yeah I know I told some of you that Kouga would end up with an older Rin but after checking through my list of pairings and such I realized I had that wrong. Lol.
