Chapter 16
Demon's Never Forget
Kagome felt Inu Yasha deepen the kiss, his arms coming around her almost crushing her to him. His tongue plundering her mouth, his elongated fangs tracing her lips. One hand holding the back of her head, tilting it to deepen the kiss. The other around her waist locking her to him. Then seemingly satisfied with her submission he broke the kiss. His head shifted to sniff the juncture of neck and shoulder. A pleased growl escaped him. His bitch had not been with a lesser male. He smelled a pup on her and knew it was his. A movement behind her caught his attention, his head snapping up to glare at Genken. In a growl he spoke one word. "Mine." She looked up to see the stripes still on his cheeks, getting darker with each passing second. Searching his eyes she saw the red and blue she knew she would.
Lifting his hands to his nose, Inu Yasha sniffed. There was a scent on him that was not his mate, another female had touched him. He looked to his mate who's scent was filled with anger and fear. He growled and woofed softly, letting her know he had not chosen another. She was still his chosen, still his mate, still his bitch, he would have no other.
Kim had watched as Kagome launched herself into Inuyasha's arms. She watched in embarrassed fascination as the absolutely fine specimen of male flesh not only returned the kiss, but put more passion than she'd ever seen into it. Almost crushing the petite woman to him. Then to call her, his, in such a possessive voice. She wouldn't let her win. She couldn't let Kagome Higurashi the Ice Princess win. "You want a woman who has a kid at fifteen? She was probably trying to trap the kid's dad into marrying her. She doesn't know how to keep a man happy. I do. I can show you such pleasures." Her tirade continued until it was ceased by a hand connecting with her cheek.
Demon Inu Yasha hadn't stopped his mate as she moved around him and slapped the other female. As his Alpha bitch it was her right to discipline other lesser females. Even death of a lesser bitch was her right. When the other male started to move to separate them, he growled a warning. But the dark haired male continued. Demon Inu Yasha grabbed the male and tossed him easily away.
Kagome caught the flash of movement and turned in time to see Genken go flying over several tables. She watched as the bouncers moved to surround Inu Yasha. Forgetting Kim, she ran to Genken the only one who could help her control Inu Yasha in this state. "Take a table and hit him over the head. You have to knock him out!" He started to say something but she cut him off, "Unless you want to see a blood bath that will make the battle fields of the Sengoku Jidai look like a walk through the park. KNOCK HIM OUT!"
Genken smelled the woman's fear... no terror. Nodding he lifted a table, easily breaking the weld that held it to the floor. Knocking the top off, until he held a three foot steel cylinder. Moving behind the transformed hanyou he swung. The loud thunk echoed through the bar followed by the thud of the hanyou's body hitting the floor. As the bouncers approached him he quickly dropped the cylinder putting his hands before him. But it was the miko Kagome's voice that broke the silence, "We're leaving. Genken grab Inu Yasha. I'm terribly sorry about this." Reaching in the purse she had retrieved from the table, Kagome handed one of the bouncers a card. "Send the bill for damages to that address."
With a shrug Genken lifted the white haired hanyou tossing him over one shoulder, in a fireman's carry. He was shocked when the miko lifted Inu Yasha's head and looked at his face as they walked out. Her muttered voice, coming easily to his ears. "Why didn't it work? . . . It always worked in the past. . . . Why didn't it work? . . . Come on Inu Yasha . . . Why won't you revert. . . . " Louder she pointed to a small Toyota, "That's my car. Put him in the back seat." After placing the hanyou in the car he was about to leave when he was tossed a cel phone. "Get in. Press one and hold it, when someone answers hand me the phone." When he made no move to obey her aura flared dangerously. "Do it now." Still he didn't move. Kagome glared at him then pulled her ace, "In the name of Sesshomaru, Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, I demand you do as I say."
Genken's eyes widened, he would not disobey a command given in Sesshomaru-sama's name. He would get to the bottom of this, and if the woman had lied he would kill her. Miko or not. Sitting in the car, he did as instructed. He heard the phone ring once, twice, on the fourth ring a woman answered, "Moshi moshi?"
"Kagome, wants to talk to you." He handed her the phone. Swearing as the woman driving swerved dangerously around a corner.
Taking the phone Kagome put it to her ear. "Who is this? . . . Rin, thank gods, it's Inu Yasha. He's transformed, I've tried everything.. . . yes he's out could now. . . RIN . . . RIN . . . I'm five minutes from the house, just meet me in the garage with the sword, it's over my bed." Not bother to disconnect the phone she tossed it away from her. Swearing at the slow car in her path. Seeing Inu Yasha begin to stir in the back seat she cursed. Spinning the steering wheel she passed the car heedless of the oncoming traffic. Lifting the gate remote she pushed the button as she spun into the long driveway with out slowing.
Genken's knuckles were white, his claws digging holes into the dash. The woman was certifiable, miko or not. He held his breath as the car barreled through the still opening gates. His arms bending at the sudden stop. Looking up he saw two people running towards the car, a woman not much taller than the doctor an ancient sword clasped in her hands. Running beside her a tall man with white hair streaming behind him, before Genken could move the man . . . no youkai had snapped the door easily off the hinge and tossed it away. Then pulled the rousing hanyou from the car. He watched in stupefied fascination as the miko grabbed the sword and thrust it to Inu Yasha's chest, tears streaming down her face. As soon as the sword touched him the stripes began to fade.
Inu Yasha awoke, the back of his head pounding. Looking down he saw Kagome holding him, tears falling. "Kagome?" he asked gently, "What..." He was stopped by her hug. Looking over he saw they were no longer at the club. When had they left? Why had they left? Why couldn't he remember?
"It is getting cold out here." Sesshomaru said drawing all eyes to him. "Let us get inside, I am sure I guest has some questions and I have several of my own for him." He turned, striding confidently towards the house his arm wrapped easily around Rin's waist leading her in. Somewhere in all the confusion Genken had recognized the youkai before him. With a small bow, he followed. As the door shut behind him, he saw a small boy come running out into the entrance way, weaving his way past the other adults to the final couple entering. Turning he watched as Inu Yasha and the Miko knelt.
"Momma, why are you crying? Are you hurt?"
Kagome stroked her son's cheek, "No baby, Momma isn't hurt. Inu Yasha had something bad happen to him, kinda like a nightmare. OK?" It was the easiest way to explain it to the child.
"Were big spider monsters after you?" Kenmaru his silver eyes turning to meet gold.
"Iie, I don't remember, pup."
"Mommy can I sleep with Inu Yasha tonight? Cause me and Roku can 'tect him from anymore bad dreams like he did me."
She was about to deny the request when Inu Yasha lifted the boy and carried him into the den. Seating himself on the couch he nodded to the boy. "I think that's a great idea." Pulling the boy into his lap Inu Yasha's eyes fluttered close. Soon enough his and Kenmaru's soft even breathing told the other's they had fallen asleep.
