Power Unleashed

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha...or his sexy brother Sesshoumaru...or Kagome...I don't want to own Jaken...is that a good enough disclaimer? Did I cover everything?

Warnings: Language, violence...someone asked for lemons so there will most likely be one in future chapters.

Pairing(s): Wouldn't you like to know?

A/N: ~ writing ~ means things that have taken place in the past.

Chapter Two "The Demon Lord."

"Lord Sesshoumaru, what if Inuyasha comes after the girl?" Jaken asked.

"I do not fear that whelp...as for the girl, she has a name." Sesshoumaru replied. 'Though I'll have to find out what that name is once we return to the castle.' He thought.

~*~*~*~

'Damn, she still has an effect on me.' Sesshoumaru thought as he watched Kagome sleep.

'I feel so strange...like a fire surges throughout my body...' Kagome thought. She was lying on a soft bed mat with silk sheets. 'What happened to me?' She thought right before the memories bombarded her and she bolted into a sitting position. "Where am I?" She asked to no one in particular.

"My castle, of course." A strong male voice stated. Kagome turned to see Sesshoumaru staring at her. "Now that you are awake, would you mind telling me your name?" He asked.

"My name...my name is Kagome." Kagome replied shyly.

'Beautiful.' Sesshoumaru thought. "Well, Kagome, you probably want to get cleaned up. I shall send a servant to escort you. Dinner is in an hour, you shall dine with my friends and I." He stated and left the room.

~*~*~*~

"Greetings Sesshoumaru." The Lord of the Eastern Lands greeted when Sesshoumaru entered the conference room.

"Hello Vagale, what brings you and the other lords to my castle? I wasn't expecting a visit until summer." Sesshoumaru noted. 'Great, I hope they don't see Kagome. Their control is nothing compared to mine...they might try to jump her or something...well, Vagale and Cyro might...Kerr has more control and honor then that.' He thought.

"Yes, well, you see...spring time is when demons normally choose their mates and our subjects want us to choose mates so that there will be heirs...we thought it would be nice if we all choose our mates together." Vagale explained.

"Sort of like when we use to choose toys when we were kids." The Lord of the Northern lands commented.

"Cyro, you numb skull. A mate is not a toy, so don't even compare them to that." The Lord of the Southern Lands, Kerr, scolded.

"I'm not really looking for a mate right now." Sesshoumaru stated.

"That's alright, because you don't have to look for a mate...all of the eligible demonesses from our four kingdoms are coming to you." Cyro informed.

"WHAT?!" Sesshoumaru growled.

"We invited all of the eligible female youkai from our four kingdoms to come here...we told them that the four lords are choosing mates." Vagale explained.

"Actually, those two invited them...like you, I'm just along for the ride." Kerr sighed.

"Why me? Why my castle?" Sesshoumaru questioned. 'Just what I need, a bunch of female youkai seeing Kagome as competition...she'll probably end up ripping them apart, not that I mind, but I don't want Kagome to think that she is a monster.' He thought.

"Your castle is the largest and has the most guest rooms." Vagale answered.

"I do not..."

"Lord Sesshoumaru...Lady Kagome has finished her bath and has gone back to her chambers...she said to tell you sorry, she's not hungry, she's just tired and plans on taking a short nap." A young maid bowed.

"Thank you Mayrin." Sesshoumaru stated and Mayrin took her leave. 'Kagome is probably still recovering from yesterday's events...' He mentally noted.

"Oh, no wonder you're not looking for a mate, it seems to me that you have already found one." Vagale teased.

"Kagome is just a friend...and a training partner. She is also very intelligent so I asked her to stay here and teach the children of the court." Sesshoumaru retorted. 'Though why shouldn't I take her as my mate...she's practically family already...'His mind took a detour.

"Oh, so you don't mind if we check her out?" Cyro asked.

'No! Wait, can't say that...I told them that she's just a friend...I know...' Sesshoumaru thought. "Not at all, but like I said before, she's quite intelligent, so she'll want someone of equal intellect or better...that leaves you out." He replied.

"Humph!" Cyro huffed.

"She is also young, so I fear that leaves you out my friend. You may look young and be able to keep up with the youth, Kerr, but you are older then all of us put together." Sesshoumaru noted.

"Though I would like it very much if my mate and you were friends, I do not plan on 'robbing the cradle' as humans say." Kerr chuckled.

"She is also beautiful and strong willed...she'd rather die then be caught with someone like you, Vagale." Sesshoumaru commented.

"Oh, and I suppose the only one remotely suited for her is you?" Vagale questioned.

"Surely you jest...she's a female version of my father. She's smart, arrogant, strong willed, ill tempered, and most of all, deadly...she's not exactly my type." Sesshoumaru answered.

"She's your type if she's a female version of your father, you are both dog- demons." Vagale chuckled. "And don't call me Shirley." He added.

"Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken exclaimed, running into the room and bowing to his master. "Dozens of foolish demonesses are here claiming that they have been invited. They are in the castle now searching for you and the other lords." He informed.

"AGH!!!" The room fell silent when, off in the distance, they heard a female roar.

Moments later...

"Lord Sesshoumaru!" Mayrin exclaimed as she burst into the room. "Lady Kagome is chasing one of the female cat youkai. I mean, it's bad enough that the youkai is a cat, but she did something to anger Lady Kagome as well..." She explained.

"Ahhh!" A female screamed in fear.

"You stay here." Sesshoumaru told the three lords and took off in the direction of the frightened demoness. When he got there he saw a very angry Kagome chasing a very terrified cat youkai.

"Get away from me you stupid bitch!" The cat youkai screamed with tears running down her face. She only succeeded in angering Kagome further.

Kagome jumped into the air and readied her poison claw attack. Before the cat youkai could blink Kagome came down and melted the cat demoness, along with just about everything else for about a twenty-foot radius.

'Not bad.' Sesshoumaru silently praised her. "Why did you do that?" He asked Kagome once she had calmed.

"How would you feel if some bitch woke you up by pulling YOUR tail?! Not to mention I woke up to find a bunch of women crowding me, asking stupid questions and looking at me as if I were a lowly dog...and then the person who pulled my tail has the nerve to call me a bitch...I was going to let her go after I had a little talk with her, but by calling me that she broke the last straw!" Kagome yelled.

'Damn she looks good when she's all worked up.' Sesshoumaru thought to himself. "Well, you are a female dog-demon, so she was correct in calling you that." He commented.

"Yeah...but it was the way she said it...and, for your information, I forgot that I've become a dog youkai..." Kagome muttered.

"I see... you thought you were human again. I can't blame you for that seeing as the demonesses were looking down on you, that was probably why you thought you were human again...I don't know why they were looking down on you being as you are probably more powerful then all of them put together...You still need time to adapt, that's all. As for the invasion of demonesses, I'll take care of them." Sesshoumaru assured with a slight smile, gently placing his hand on her shoulder, lightly pulling her against his chest. 'She's so warm...' He thought then mentally slapped himself. 'Just a friend, remember...just a friend.' He chanted within his mind. "So, are you hungry now?" He asked, backing away from her.

"No, not really." Kagome answered shyly. 'I never realized how handsome he is...he should smile more often...' She thought offhandedly.

"Then what do you want to do you want to do? Would you like to practice with your sword, practice archery, read to or teach the children?" Sesshoumaru questioned.

"I'd like to do all of them..." Kagome blushed, trying to decide what to do first.

'Good.' Sesshoumaru thought glad that he didn't exactly lie to his fellow lords. 'She'd make a fine mate.' He thought, moving until he was only an inch away from her.

"Can I practice my archery first?" She asked a little nervous at his closeness. 'I want to touch him for some reason, but I think he'll get mad.' She thought as he leaned in closer and kissed her, surprising them both, yet Sesshoumaru refused to back down.

'Um, her lips are so soft...I wonder what she tastes like.' Sesshoumaru thought and placed one hand around her waist, the other tangled itself in her hair.

'I can't believe it...Sesshoumaru is kissing me...oh, but it feels so good.' Kagome thought as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Sesshoumaru took Kagome's gestures as a go ahead and he lightly bit her lip, making her gasp. Sesshoumaru took advantage of her surprise and explored her mouth with his tongue, teasing her.

"Sesshoumaru..." Kagome moaned into his mouth.

'I...I have to stop this or I'll end up taking her here in that hall.' Sesshoumaru thought and reluctantly pulled away.

"Um...Archery...Very well...Mayrin." Sesshoumaru called, panting a little bit, and trying to regain his control...Mayrin appeared next to him soon after he called for her. "Show Kagome to the range so she can practice." He commanded. "I have things to take care of presently, I will be there when I am done." He added and went back to the conference room.

"What was that all about?" Cyro asked upon Sesshoumaru's return.

"Some wench ticked Kagome off...poor thing didn't stand a chance and I couldn't get there in time to save her from Kagome's wrath." Sesshoumaru answered. 'And I learned that she's a good kisser...stop thinking about her...Though, I'm impressed by how well she has learned to control her powers in less then a day...It's almost as if she has been a dog-demon all her life...'

~ And, for your information, I forgot that I've become a dog youkai..." Kagome muttered.~

'Almost.' Sesshoumaru thought.

*BANG*

Something that sounded like an explosion was heard and it was as if time had stopped.

'Kagome?' Sesshoumaru thought, worried that something might have happened to her.

"What was that?!" Cyro yelled in surprise.

"It sounded like it came from the range." Kerr commented, confirming Sesshoumaru's fears.

'Oh no...' Sesshoumaru thought. "Kagome..." He whispered and they all got up and ran to the range.
