"Inuyasha: The Miko Mate"

By: ETH

Kagome was a beautiful Miko, born with great spiritual powers. Some in her village said that she could purify one thousand demons with just one of her sacred arrows, while others said she was a celestial maiden only pretending to be human since she was so beautiful; Kagome had long silky raven hair that went down to her waist, her eyes were big and brown like chocolate, her skin was soft and fair, and finally her smile was something that could make any man grovel before her.

Kagome was eighteen years old and lived with her younger brother Sota, who didn't have spiritual powers like his sister but he didn't mind, in fact his only concern in life was that most of the young men in the village wouldn't stop bothering Kagome because they wanted to marry her even though she kept telling them no.

"Sis, why can't we just move to another village if all these men keep bothering you?" he asked Kagome one day as he was carrying medical herbs and following his sister through the village.

"Because Sota, I could never leave this village unprotected, I'm the only Miko for miles around and who would be the one to help everyone in sickness or injury?" Kagome asked.

Sota sighed, he should've expected Kagome to say that, she always did when he asked why they couldn't move to another village.

The village Kagome and Sota lived in was very poor and small however Kagome found herself not ever wanting to leave it for good since it was the home where her and Sota's father who was a monk, met and married their mother, it was where they both were born, and it was where their father trained Kagome to become a miko, so despite the annoying men who kept asking her to marry them, Kagome loved her home and couldn't bear to forever leave it, she just couldn't.

"Sis, are you okay, why are you suddenly so quiet?" Sota asked tugging on Kagome's red and white miko outfit.

Kagome turned to her brother.

"What? Oh I'm sorry Sota I was just lost in thought I guess. Now come on let's get these herbs to your friend Mika" said Kagome as she and Sota hurried to the near end of the village. "Hello, Kimiko it's me I came to give you some more herbs for Mika's swelling ankle" Kagome called for Mika's mother, who came out from inside the hut with a welcoming smile on her face.

"Lady Kagome, young Sota, thank you for coming. Please come in" said Kimiko as Kagome and Sota followed her into the hut to see a small girl around Sota's age lying down on a straw mat with a bandage around her ankle.

"Hello Mika, how are you feeling today?" asked Kagome as she set her quiver and bow down and sat beside the girl.

"Much better lady Kagome, thanks to your herbs" the little girl smiled, making Kagome smile too.

"Well that's good to hear, now let's have a look at that ankle" said the miko as she gently took off the bandage around Mika's leg and smiled as she looked at it. "Well it looks almost as good as new, I think at least two more days with these herbs and you should be back on your feet in no time Mika" proclaimed Kagome as she gave Sota a nod who gave the small bundle of herbs he was carrying to Mika's mother, who smiled gratefully.

"Thank you so much lady Kagome, and you too Sota, how much do I owe you?" she asked, but Kagome shook her head.

"No payment needed we simply do this because we want to" the miko replied.

"Yeah, sis would do anything to help someone" Sota added.

Kimiko smiled.

"Well in that case thank you both so much, you do so much for our village" she smiled as did Mika as Kagome and Sota waved goodbye and then left the hut.

While on their way home they were stopped by a few men asking for Kagome's hand in marriage again, and of course the miko turned them down.

"Kagome…. Do you… ever want to get married?" asked Sota causing Kagome to stop in her tracks and to her brother's surprise she started to laugh.

"Oh Sota, of course not. I am a miko my job is to aid and protect people from demons, marriage would just be a waste of time" she giggled

"Oh…" Sota trailed off as they entered the hut they lived in, their parents had once lived their too but had died from sickness.

That night while Sota was fast asleep, Kagome lay wide awake in deep thought.

"It would be nice to have a similar life, to be married for love and be happier, but no I need to stay strong and keep up what I do so that way Sota can live the life he wants one day, that's more important than anything I may want" Kagome thought to herself as she drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile far off from Kagome's village was a dog demon who lived in the wild named Inuyasha. He was tall with long white hair, triangle dog ears were on the top of his head, he had long claws and fangs, was bare footed, wore nothing over his muscular bare chest, he wore red pants, and had red and blue eyes.

Inuyasha had just finished off killing a boar and was about to devour it fully when he felt a small sting on his chest.

"Master Inuyasha!" a small voice greeted.

Inuyasha growled as he slapped the side of his chest, he then looked at his hand to see a small squished demon flea in his palm.

"Myoga, what do you want? I'm starving here" the dog demon growled as Myoga stood up.

"I wanted to ask you if you had made any progress in finding your mate, you see you'll-" Myoga started but was cut off by Inuyasha squishing him again and then letting him float to the ground.

"-Know her when I see her, I know, I know" he said automatically rolling his eyes. Inuyasha lived on his own in the mountains a little ways away from the forest they were currently in, but often Myoga would come around to visit him to see how the dog demon was getting by in the world since he had raised him since he was a small toddler, but nowadays it was at least one or two short visits every month or so since Inuyasha kept telling the old flea he was fine on his own.

"Well there's no need to be so rough master, I'm only asking because you are the proper age to find a mate and it's what your father and mother would've wanted you to do" prompted Myoga.

Inuyasha growled.

"I'll take a bride when I find the right woman, but that won't be for a while so I wouldn't worry your old head about it, now move along old man I'm starving" the dog demon demanded looking back at the boar he had killed.

Myoga sighed.

"Yes sire" he said as he leaped away.

Inuyasha watched him go and sighed to himself.

"He's right as much as I hate to admit it, I do need to find a mate, but I also want one. It's pretty lonely out here day after day of hunting and surviving and I haven't loved anyone in what feels like forever… but will that ever changed?" the dog demon thought to himself, but then he shook his head. "I'll find a mate when the time is right, but that won't be for a while so why worry?" he asked himself out loud as he then began to eat his meal in a messy way.

The next morning Inuyasha was awakened by the sweet scent of wild flowers and cherry blossoms…. And it was intoxicating…. Making him feel drawn to it.

"What kind of scent is this? It's amazing" he said to himself as he hopped out of the tree he was sleeping in and sniffed the air greedily. "It's no ordinary flower that's for sure" the demon stated as he got down on all fours and started to sniff the ground.

After at least an hour of sniffing Inuyasha saw a small village in the distance.

"Hm, it's definitely coming from here" he said as he began to walk towards the settlement…

Kagome took a deep relaxing breath asked she combed her damp hair.

"It feels like it's been forever since my last bath I'm so glad I took one this morning, not to mention I'm using my favorite perfume" she said to herself in the mirror, but her calm state was interrupted when she heard some of the villagers calling for her.

"Lady Kagome, save us! A demon as invaded the village!" a man from outside shouted.

Kagome's eyes widened.

"Oh no, Sota!" Kagome thought to herself realizing that her brother was not in the hut, but outside where the demon was said to be. The miko wasted no time throwing her comb down, grabbing her bow and quiver of arrows, and rushing outside to see the villagers running for their lives.

"What kind of demon would invade such a small and poor village like ours, what does it want here?" Kagome asked herself out loud as she ran towards where the villagers were running from.

When she found the demon, Kagome's eyes widened; the demon was a dog demon and was holding Sota by the throat, hurting and choking him.

"NO!" Kagome's mind screamed as she reached for her bow and arrow…

Inuyasha was very angry, not only had the village judged him because he was a demon, but this small brat had been throwing rocks at him and was telling him to leave. Inuyasha held the boy by the neck tighter, making the boy struggle even more.

"What's the matter you little brat not, not so tough now are we?" Inuyasha snarled cruelly.

Suddenly a sacred arrow shot passed the dog demon, grazing him lightly on the shoulder. Inuyasha cried out in pain, growled, and turned to see who had shot the arrow and suddenly he was breathless. The woman before him was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen form her flowing raven hair to her big doe like eyes, and not only that, she also had the scent of wild flowers and cherry blossoms he had been following; she was what he was searching for.

The woman took out another arrow from her quiver, put it in her bow and frowned at Inuyasha.

"Let my brother go or this one goes through your head!" she shouted.

"She must be a miko" Inuyasha thought to himself as he dropped Sota to the ground who gasped and coughed, trying to catch his breath.

Inuyasha slowing walked towards Kagome, who's hand's that were holding and aiming the bow and arrow started to tremble a bit.

"What's wrong with me, why can't I release my arrow on him?" she thought to herself as Inuyasha's face softened. Once he was in front of her, he put his hands on Kagome's, making her lower her bow and arrow, which she dropped from her trembling hands. Kagome looked up at the dog demon with fearful eyes as he took both of her hands in one of his and used his other one to trace her face as if to be studying her.

"So beautiful…." he trailed off breathlessly.

Kagoem didn't know what to say or do, all that she could do was tremble as the dog demon touched her. After a few seconds Inuyasha smiled mischievously. "It's decided; you will be my mate" he stated.

Kagome's eyes widened as she was finally able to pull away from the dog demon.

"EXCUSE ME!" she screeched. "I'm not some prize to be won, how dare you!" Kagome yelled as she tried to reach for her bow, but Inuyasha kicked it away.

"Now, Now, my mate let us not be rash- he started but he was cut off when a rock hit him in the back of the head.

"Leave Kagome alone, you heard her she doesn't belong to you!" Sota yelled throwing another rock at Inuyasha and tried to pick up another one to do it again, but he instantly dropped it when the dog demon sped up to him and picked him up by the throat again.

"I'd watch it brat, I happen to know where to find some demons that would just love to have you for lunch" Inuyasha threatened as he tightened his grip on Sota's neck, making him struggle again.

Kagome gasped and picked up her bow and another arrow.

"Let him go or I'll-" she started but the dog demon cut her off.

"Shot and I'll kill him" the dog demon snapped.

Kagome gritted her teeth.

"I can't lose Sota, he's all I have, there has to be something I can do…" the miko trailed off in thought when an idea accused to her.

"Please, if you spare my brother and this village… I will be your bride and mate" the miko said hesitatingly.

Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat at her words.

"You will be my mate if I spare this brat and this dump?" he asked as he tightened his grip on Sota's neck just for good measure.

Kagome bit her lip and looked down as she gave a single nod. With that Inuyasha smiled, showing off his long fangs.

"It's a deal my sweet" he said as he dropped Sota to the ground, rushed over to Kagome, took her in his arms bridal style, and rushed away from the village ignoring Sota's desperate calls to bring his sister back.

Inuyasha ran for the whole day straight into the night. As he ran through the trees in the dark forest he glanced down as his new mate, who was asleep in his arms.

"She's mine, I've finally found her, my beautiful mate" Inuyasha said to himself with a smile as he jumped up a large mountain peak and into the mountains. Once deep inside the mountain range, Inuyasha entered a large cave that had a slope of bloaders in it, which he hopped down to a small flat area at the bottom of the cave. He then gently placed Kagome down on a pile of furs at the end of the cave and covered her up with a red kimono that was with a few other belongings in another corner of the cave.

Inuyasha sat at Kagome's side and ran his fingers through her soft hair, staring at her lovingly.

"The boy called her Kagome, such a pretty name for a pretty maiden…" he trailed off as he leaned over… but just before his lips could brush against hers, Myoga jumped onto the tip of his nose and started to suck blood from it.

"Master Inuyasha! I thought I'd stop by and- who is this lovely maiden?" the old flea questioned before getting smacked by Inuyasha again.

"Myoga this is Kagome; she's my mate" the dog demon replied.

Once he recovered from being squished Myoga jumped onto Kagome's cheek to inspect her.

"Your mate? My, my, master may I just say that you have excellent taste, she's lovely. Oh I wonder what her blood tastes like- OW!" Myoga started but was cut off by Inuyahsa swatting him off of Kagome.

"You'll "never" suck my mate;s blood while I'm around is that clear?" Inuyasha demanded, making Myoga nod fast.

"Yes of course master, but since you have found your mate, may I ask when you plan to hold the mating ceremony?" asked the old flea.

Inuyasha's ears twitched at his words.

"Tomorrow night, you will wed me and Kagome, that's when it will happen" the dog demon replied.

Myoga gave a bow.

"Yes, sire" he said as he leaped out of the cave.

With the old flea gone Inuyasha looked back down at his lovely Kagome and stroked her cheek, to which she unconsciously leaned into.

"My sweet mate, tomorrow night we'll be bonded together for all eternity, and you will be mine forever…" he trailed off licking his lips.

Okay so how is this, good? If you think so tell me If I should continue or take it off, I rated it M just to be safe, later peeps!
