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?

Chapter Three

"Beginnings."
*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.

~*~*~*~

When the demon lords arrived at the range they were surprised to see all of the targets were completely destroyed.

Sesshoumaru sighed in relief when he saw that Kagome was unharmed and staring at the place where the targets once stood. "What happened here Mayrin?" He asked. Mayrin just stood there, dazed, while she too stared at the destruction.

"Whoa." Cyro gasped and went over to Kagome. "Hey there, Sesshoumaru never told me that he was keeping a goddess here." He said.

"That has got to be the cheesiest come on line I have ever heard." Kagome stated. "Who are you?" The young beauty asked suspiciously.

"I am Cyro, Lord of the Northern Lands...what is your name little lady?" Cyro questioned.

"Kagome, and sorry if I don't act enthusiastic...oh, and another thing, do not call me little lady again if you value your life." Kagome seethed and walked over to Sesshoumaru. "Sorry about your targets Sesshoumaru-sama, I did not think that my powers had that much of uh...um...kick, I guess you could say." She apologized.

"Don't worry about it Kagome." Sesshoumaru replied and brushed a stray piece of hair behind her ear, making her shiver sensually while Cyro said something in the background.

"How dare you ignore me!" Cyro exclaimed.

"I dare, loudmouth." Kagome hissed.

"That's it! I will not take such insolence from a woman!" Cyro yelled and lunged at Kagome.

Sesshoumaru was about to attack Cyro, but Kagome held him back.

"He's mine." Kagome stated and assaulted Cyro.

Kagome hit the fox demon square in the jaw and Cyro stepped back a few paces.

"You are stronger then I thought, but I shall not be defeated." Cyro growled and once again lashed out at Kagome.

'Want to bet.' Kagome thought and knocked Cyro onto his back. Kagome pinned the young lord and straddle him to make sure he stayed put. "You are still just a boy. Until you grow up, and are able to gauge your opponent's strength, do not expect to win a battle against me." She stated, loud enough for all of the lords to hear, and got up off of Cyro.

"Bitch." Cyro snorted.

"I know I am." Kagome giggled and walked back to Sesshoumaru, who was looking at her with a gleam in his eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She whispered in his ears.

'I can't tell her that I was jealous of her straddling that pathetic excuse for a demon when she could have been straddling me...she would smack me for sure...and what is even scarier then that is the fact that I don't even know why I was thinking that.' Sesshoumaru thought. "You fought well, I'm impressed. Tomorrow, I shall teach you how to use your sword." He stated and gently sniffed her hair. 'Is she in heat?!' He thought, a bit panicked.

"What's wrong Sesshoumaru-sama?" Kagome asked sweetly.

"Hey bitch, if you're going to act like your true self I suggest you lock yourself away somewhere while you're in heat." Cyro growled as he dusted himself off.

"WHAT?!" Kagome yelled.

"You...are...in...HEAT! You're fertile...that's the only reason that I was talking to a pathetic bitch like you." Cyro replied.

Kagome punched him in the jaw and sent him flying into the air. "I've been called a lot of names in my lifetime, but I have never, and will never, let someone get away with calling me pathetic or weak." Kagome stated.

"Well, you now have all the power that my father once had and he was anything but weak..."

"What do you mean she has all the power your father once had, Sesshoumaru?" Vagale asked.

"She wields Tetsusaiga. That alone should explain what I meant by my comment." Sesshoumaru answered.

"She wields the legendary Tetsusaiga?" Vagale questioned.

"Yes, I do." Kagome answered, drawing the sword, fully transformed. "See." She said and sheathed Tetsusaiga.

"I'm impressed." Vagale stated.

"A powerful sword for a powerful woman..." Kerr commented. "I can tell that you have a strong will and a free spirit...no matter what, be yourself." He whispered to Kagome, then went back to the castle.

"I better check up on Shippo." Cyro mentioned as he, too, went back to the castle. (In this, the thunder brothers killed Shippo's parents, but his cousin, Cyro, took him in until he found a "foster" home or was old enough to handle himself.)

"Who's Shippo?" Kagome asked Sesshoumaru.

"Cyro's cousin. He's very young. The kitsune's parents were killed a while back." Sesshoumaru explained.

"Poor thing." Kagome sympathized. "But if he's anything like that Cyro guy, I don't know if I want to meet him." She added.

"Actually, they're pretty much exact opposites, but that's for you to decide. Come, let us go inside." Sesshoumaru urged, holding Kagome's hand and guiding her toward the castle, and Kerr trailed behind them.

~*~*~*~

Sesshoumaru sighed. It had taken what seemed like forever to get the females settled and into their assigned rooms. He never wanted to see any of those women ever again. They were pushy, wanted to touch him, not to mention every time he turned around one was trying to seduce him.

'If I ever see a woman again it will be too soon.' Sesshoumaru thought and entered his room. When he shut the door, he noticed a figure lying on his bed. 'What now?' He thought and nearly growled, but then he picked up a familiar scent. 'She's still in heat.' He noted while he walked over to the bed and sat down on it.

Kagome felt the bed shift, but she didn't care. She thought it was just another stupid bitch trying to find Sesshoumaru, until she heard a familiar, masculine, voice.

"Kagome?" Sesshoumaru whispered, not really wanting to wake her because he sort of liked her where she was. "Kagome, why are you here?" He questioned when she turned and looked at him.

Kagome sat up and scooted closer to Sesshoumaru. "Those women kept on looking for you and they kept on bothering me in my room. I thought that because you place a barrier on your room, I could get some decent sleep until you got them under control." Kagome answered.

"How did you get past the barrier anyway? It is supposed to keep ALL females out." Sesshoumaru mentioned.

"Yeah, I know. I thought that was a little strange too, but I'm not complaining. I didn't have a bunch of females with nasty attitudes barging in on me for a little while." Kagome commented. 'I wonder what it would be like to seduce him...WHAT AM I THINKING?! He has enough trouble with those sluts, he doesn't need me trying the same thing...why am I thinking about mating anyway?' She asked herself. "I guess I should get back to my room now." She added and got up before she ended up doing something she may regret.

"You can stay here if you wish..." Sesshoumaru offered.

"I...I..." Kagome stuttered with a slight blush gracing her cheeks.

"I would appreciate it actually...earlier, I was going to ask you for a favor." Sesshoumaru informed and gestured for her to sit down.

"What kind of favor?" Kagome asked and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I was going to ask you, if you would be so kind, to pretend to be my mate, or at least my choice for mate, until the females leave." Sesshoumaru answered.

"I don't know. I..."

"You will be able to get a decent nights sleep every night. All you have to do is sleep in my room and never leave my side the entire time. That should be easy for when we are not sleeping or eating, we shall be training together." Sesshoumaru explained.

"Sounds interesting..." Kagome commented and moved closer to Sesshoumaru. "Does that include the benefits of being mated?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" Sesshoumaru countered.

"You know, cuddling, nice conversations, thing like that." Kagome clarified.

"Yes, if that is what you want." Sesshoumaru stated.

"Um...Sesshoumaru...I don't know how to ask you this, but I've been feeling a little strange lately..."

"Let me guess, a little bit on the lusty side?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Um...yeah." Kagome blushed.

"You are in heat." Sesshoumaru said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. 'And for that very reason is why I want her to stay with me...I don't trust the others, they may try to take advantage of her "condition"...though its going to take a lot for me not to take advantage as well.' He thought.

"Um...what exactly is heat?" Kagome questioned, a bit confused.

'She does not seriously expect me to explain THAT does she?' Sesshoumaru's mind asked and then he looked into Kagome's eyes. 'Yes, she does.' He answered himself. "Well...it is when a female becomes fertile and she becomes desirable and lusty...it is normally because her body is telling her that she wants pups..." He sighed. 'That wasn't so hard.' A voice in the back of his mind said. 'Want to bet?' He countered.

"Um...Sesshoumaru, can guys tell when a girl is in heat and are they effected by it." Kagome inquired.

"Yes, actually. The male begins to feel about the same way as the female if the female's scent is strong." Sesshoumaru answered.

"My scent isn't strong, is it?" Kagome quipped.

"It is." Sesshoumaru replied shortly. He had notice that her scent was steadily increasing in strength during the entire conversation. It was taking almost all of his will power not to pounce on her and have his way with her. Her normally calming scent wasn't helping either!

"Sesshoumaru? Are you ok? You are looking at me sort of strange." Kagome mentioned.

"I'm fine." Sesshoumaru stated.

"Are you really, because you look stressed out. I can help with that though." Kagome said cheerfully and sat behind him.

"What are you...ah." Sesshoumaru moaned when Kagome started to massage his shoulders. 'That's it!' He thought and gave up on his self-control. He turned around and pinned Kagome on the bed.

"Sesshoumaru? Wha..." Her sentence was cut short when Sesshoumaru's lips claimed hers in a fierce and passionate kiss.
