HELLO EVERYONE, here is another chapter. A tiny bit longer than usual, I could not stop writing. I actually had to cut it because I was basically merging what should be two chapters.
Enjoy ;}
"Very well Miko, we shall become soul bounded. I hope you do not come to regret this decision" he said.
I was not afraid, although the possibility of losing Inuyasha hurt. I could never regret doing what was necessary to save Sesshomaru.
I inhaled deeply, letting my lungs fill with air. As the air excited my lungs, I tried to let go of the anxiety I was feeling.
We had just rejoined the rest of the group in the main chamber of Inutaisho's grave. It didn't take long for them to surround us and start bombarding me with questions.
"So, what happened? Did you get the prophecy?" Inuyasha asked, as impatiently as always.
"Yeah Kagome, what did it say?" Sango contributed, but her voice held a gentler tone to it.
"Well yeahh…" I said unsure of how to continue. My mind was in complete tangles trying to figure out how to tell them all the information that we had received. How to tell him.
"Well wench, are you gonna tell us" Inuyasha spoke once again. Concern mixing into his impatient face.
"Basically, there is an evil growing within hell that has the power to erase someone's very soul. We don't know when or how, but it will rise to destroy all that we know. In order to stop it, the moon spirit gifted me with its powers, and chose Sesshomaru as my protector."
I looked towards Sesshomaru before I continued, somehow, having him next to me gave me comfort. "We met Inutaisho down there, he said that the only way to ensure that Sesshomaru would survive the fight is for us to become soul bounded"
Imminently Inuyasha's chest puffed out, as he approached me, his face coming mare inches from mines. "What do you mean become soul bounded? What is that".
Instinctively, I took a step back to put some distance between us. Recently, his presences had become a little suffocating.
My back collided with Sesshomaru's chest, causing me to lose my balance. His clawed hand come to my waist offering me some support. His finger gave my waist a light squish, as if to reassure me. But this was Sesshomaru we were talking about, that couldn't be it. Could it? Even if that was not the intent, I felt a sense of strength come over me, giving me the confidence to face Inuyasha about what I was going to do.
"We are going to perform a ritual that will unify our souls, preventing his soul from dying without mines or mines without his. We will form a bond deeper than mates." I wasn't sure whether I needed to add the last part, but I wanted to be honest. There was also a part of me that wanted to see, see how he would react to those words.
Inuyasha's hands came around me, each graving onto one on my arms. His claws slightly pierced my skin as he pulled me away from Sesshomaru. "You can't do that Kagome. First you let him scent mark you, and now, now you want to bind your soul to him. You can't do that to us. I won't allow it"
"There's no reason it has to change anything" I spoke back, hoping he would see that I cared for him, and that such a thing wasn't enough to break my love.
"Then you are more foolish than I thought you were. This will change everything" He said. His eyes looked sadden, even heartbroken. It was clear he wasn't even willing to try. That was enough to break my heart.
My hands grabbed on to his wrists, and gently but firmly pulled them away. "I have already decided"
"Let's get out of here, I will explain the rest later" I ordered to the group before turning to Sesshomaru. I was surprised to find his hand already stretched out in waiting. I took his hand with mine and let him carry me away.

I held the Miko within my arms, for far longer than I needed to. I could sense she needed comforting. Or perhaps, I just enjoyed the feeling of her body against mines.
It wasn't long before the humans, the kit, and the half-breed made it through the portal we had just excited. Once the half-breed had crossed the boundary of the portal, it closed, turning into a pearl before returning to his eye.
"It's gotten dark, let's us all rest for tonight and regroup tomorrow" The Miko like a natural leader ordered, like a true alpha female.
Our female, my beast purred.
"Kagome…Oh and Lord Sesshomaru" The demon slayer spoke, seeming to remember that where the Miko went, so would my person. "Would you like to rest in the village with us?"
"The Miko and I shall sleep on the outskirts of the village" I quickly shot her offer down. I could still feel the Miko's uneasiness, she needed some time away from the half-breed.
"Oh okay, you sure?" She asked. looking towards the Miko for confirmation.
"Yeah, lets meet up tomorrow. You know Sesshomaru and his love of humans, probably for the best".
I snorted at the Miko's word and began walking away. Her quiet step fallowed close behind without hesitation.
I couldn't help the smirk that graced my face at the Miko's words, she could be quite amusing at times.
I laid my Mokomoko upon the ground, right in front of a large Sakura tree which was flourishing in its position next a river. This should make an adequate sleeping accommodation for the night. I sat down upon my fur, gesturing the miko to join me. "Come"
"Huh" She asked, her face blushing quite red. "I think I'll sleep on the ground, I still remember what happened the last time I slept with you" She spoke, accusingly pointing her finger at me.
"Do not make me repeat myself Kagome, I promised that will not occur ever again" I said, this time extending my hand out for her to grab it. I seemed to be doing that quite often recently.
She grabbed my hand while still looking at it with skepticism. Quickly, I pulled her into my lap, before she had the chance to change her mind.
"Sesshomaru!" She reprimanded.
"Remove your top" I ordered her, not addressing her scolding voice. Smirking at her comical reaction. Her mouth opened in shock as her arms came protectively over her chest.
"You promised!" She exclaimed.
"Calm yourself Miko, can you not see that your arms are bleeding into your top".
Her eyes fallowed mines. A sad "ohh" come out of her small lips at the sight of blood that was beginning to tint the white top red. "I guess I was too preoccupied to notice"
"Remove your top miko, don't…."
"I know, I know. Don't make me repeat myself" She interjected before I could even finish my sentence. Her face mocked me with every word as she attempted to imitate my tone. Regardless, she began to undress like I had asked. He top was soon abandon next to my fur.
I tried not to dwell on how delicious her breast looked, plumped up in a weird contraption that's seemed to amplify their volume. Yet, I could feel my beast salivating at the sight of them. I held one of her arms within my hand and began to examine the wound.
"It's not too deep" I leaned my head closer, pausing for a moment as to calm my beast so that I wouldn't lose control. I let my tongue slide across the puncture holes, linking and sucking away the blood.
My beast purred in pure ecstasy. My cock hardened at the taste of her, and the thought of how much sweeter it would be to taste her blood as my fans punctured the nape of her neck as I marked her as mine.
Mine

"What are you doing?" I exclaimed, trying to move away, but Sesshomaru's tight grip kept me in place. He moved his lips to my other arm and did the same. "Seshomaruuu" I meant to scream at him, but instead his name came out more like a moan. I should be scared. I should be slapping him. But for fucks sake did his tongue feel good.
His head lifted up; a small tinge of red could be seen bleeding into his eyes. But as soon as I saw it, it disappeared.
"My saliva has healing properties" He explained.
I was shocked to find that there was no trace of any wound on my arms, the small puncture wounds that had previously been there were no more. Of course, he has godly saliva too.
"You know Sesshomaru, many of our misunderstandings could be avoided if you just explained yourself before you acted" I argued. For sure, I appreciated him healing me. But a girl needs a little warning before getting licked like that. Oh god, that sounded so dirty. I could just imagine my mom shaking her head disapprovingly at my dirty thoughts.
"This Sesshomaru does not need to explain himself" He grunted as he pulled his head back, closing his eyes momentarily. Was it just me or was his nose flaring?
"Yeah you do mister" I said poking him in the chest. Ever since the cave, I felt a new liberty with him. Like I can truly be myself around him. I should probably not push it though.
His face suddenly became serious as he grabbed my hand in his. I was expecting a statement about how he would remove my fingers if I didn't remove them myself, but his next word surprised me.
"I wish for you to take care of yourself. I wish for you to not allow others to harm you. I am your alpha now, and as such, I must ensure your safety and wellbeing. I did not act this time because I saw it fit to let you settle your own business with the half-breed." His voice became more menacing with his next words, "but if the half-breed draws even a single drop of blood from your skin ever again, I will make sure to drain him of his" he threatened. I knew Sesshomaru was a demon of his word.
"I appreciate that Sesshomaru, but I can take care of myself you know" I answered back.
"That may be so, but when you agreed to be part of my pack you became mines to protect" His words froze every muscle in my body at the same time as it set it on fire. There seemed to be a deeper meaning to his statement that I seemed to be missing. Thinking about it made my face flush red with embarrassment. I suddenly felt naked in front of him without my shirt.
"I'm going to quickly wash off the sleeves before the blood dries, so that I can put it back on" lucky the lake next to the tree was within reach. I wonder if he decided to sleep here because of that. It didn't take long for the slight blood drops to disappear from the top sleeves and into the river stream. Once I had dried it as much as I could, I slipped myself back into it. The cold night breeze brushed up against the damp cloth. I shivered expecting it to be cold, a physical reflex of my old self, but it felt like nothing more than a soft touch.
I was startled from my thoughts by Sesshomaru's baritone voice coming from behind me, "Kagome?"
"Yes Sesshomaru" I answer, still not turning around. He rarely addressed me by my name, whenever he did, I knew it was serious.
"Why did you not tell the half-breed of the dead miko?" I could feel his eyes on my back, watching how I would react to his words.
I though on his question before answering, "I guess I just wanted to see if he was willing to fight for me. I didn't want it to become an option between me and her. That would only hurt both of us. I mean, I'll tell him soon. But..but.." I don't know when, but tears started cascading down my eyes. Every word I tried to speak began getting cough in my throat, making me feel like I was chocking. It was all coming down out, the words may not have been said, but it was over. Whatever love was present between me and Inuyasha was over.
I felt my body being wrapped in something soft, its smell offered comfort to my broken heart. On the other side was Sesshomaru's firm chest, I could feel it rise and fall with every steady breath he tock. I tried to match my erratic breath to his calm one,
"Im sorry Sesshomaru, I'll stop if you just give me a second" I said while trying to pull away, but his arms just tighten around me. I was so embarrassed. His clawed finger came gently bellow my chin, forcing me to look up into those honey colored eyes. I don't think I have ever seen them look as gentle as they look right now. Its funny how they used to scare me, the eyes of the fearsome Lord Sesshomaru, the killing perfection. But now they're the eyes of my protector, my alpha.
"Kagome, do not be ashamed of revealing how you feel in front of me. Cry all you want tonight. Then never again do I want to see you in pain over that half-breed. Tonight, seek comfort in your alpha."
Just as he commanded the tears began to fall once again. Except this time, I did not try to stop them. This time, I buried myself as far into the warmth of his chest as I could. This time I would let it all go. I would always have a soft spot for Inuyasha, he was my first love after all. He had saved me many times and I didn't have any doubt that he cared for me, but perhaps we both had been wrong to push for something when he wasn't ready to move on.
If there was something that I was sure about is that just because our love had failed, it didn't mean that our friendship had too. It may take some time, actually I knew my heart needed some time to heal, but someday in the future I knew we would both be okay.
WELL so how was that? Did you like it? I hope it wasn't too sad but I need to have Kagome go through this realization that it was over, hopefully now she will see Sesshomaru in a new light ;}
I actually have the beginning of the next chapter already, review if you want to see it soon. Hehe.
