A: Very short, I appologize.

B: I don't have spelling and grammer check any longer but I checked over it a lot, things should be alright.

C: The reason that it took me so long for such a short chapter is actually complicatedly simple: I got a new, faster computer (No longer my prototype with only a maximum of 16MB of RAM memory) but this one does not have Microsoft Word, or any other publishing thing, only Word Pad, and since I'm poor, I couldn't afford to go out and buy new software. Anyway, I wanted to update but unfortunately at the time did not accept rich text documents (rth or something) now it does and now I update! Viola! Beautiful wouldn't you agree? If you actually had the patience to read through this explanation, but of course.

Chapter 3

Lustful Intent

Kagome groaned audibly, it was way past midnight and only the mortal versions of the youkai in front of her had taken the opportunity to sleep. Nothing much had happened really, the men er... the demon males, starred at her a lot, and they switched scouting parties occasionally, other than that however things had been really uneventful, or perhaps tense would be the better way of putting it.

Koga did flirt with her a lot though, and he didn't go through any lengths to hide it, or even be subtle. He didn't act anything like the boys she was used to being around. Inuyasha did flirt, but very rarely, only when Miroku had conned him into drinking too much sake. Even then he was rather subtle about it, Hojo was really, REALLY subtle about it, even shy to the point of being almost boring. She didn't want to hurt his feelings though so...

"Hey Kagome, you look tired, you want to sleep?" Koga asked her noting her groan and her slumped form. "It's my turn to go and scout a bit so you'd be bored any way."

Kagome nodded her head and lay down on the straw mattress. "You know it would have been nice if you had given me some warning Koga. I miss sleeping with a blanket." Kagome said before yawning.

"Keh, here," he said tossing her some fur they had gotten recently. "It should keep you pretty warm."

Kagome nodded and pulled the blanket thing tight around her shoulders. "Night." She said before yawning and closing her eyes.

Koga couldn't help but smirk at her. She did completely get over the kiss thing and she seemed to enjoy his courting ritual a lot. At the rate they were going she would accept him as her mate in no time at all.

He looked over at his remaining comrades. "Watch her while I'm out. Don't let her get hurt or it'll be all of your hides."

He looked back at her already slumbering form before exiting the den swiftly.

"Hey, what do you suppose is so special about this wench?" Kirin, a younger scout asked. "Yeah I know she can see the Shikon fragments, but zat all?" (zat = is that)

Shivo, only slightly older than the other one shrugged his shoulders. "Don know for sure but maybe. She's a miko or something so I guess it makes her more appealing." He had black hair, cut shoulder length and tied in the back, there were two slightly longer strands of hair that came down from in front of his ears as well, him having intentionally let them free from his tie. His eyes were pretty plain, just brown, not honey brown, or dark brown, a plain and relatively dull medium brown.

Quetzicotal the oldest of the seven there shook his head, "You don't get it do you? She's untainted, UNTAINTED by anything. A pure miko and a young one, who wouldn't want such a thing?"

Shivo cringed, "She's still a human, and she could purify us all if we're not careful!" he snapped. "I don't like that Koga brought her here."

Kirin smiled mostly to himself thinking a moment before he decided to speak. "She doesn't know how to use her powers I think. I remember the first encounter we had with her, there were a lot more of us then, but instead of threatening us with her miko she picked up a spear! 'Sides, just look at her, she wouldn't hurt us if she could."

Quetzicotal looked briefly to the slumbering miko as did Shivo. "You are more than likely right, plus she seems to genuinely like us. Our kind I mean."

"Yeah but I don't like her kind." Shivo said grumbling.

Kirin smirked at this, "Yeah but that's no reason not to like her personally. She don't look half-bad, specially fer a human."

Shivo growled, "A HUMAN, human you imbecile! I don't think he would but if he does truly mate her what of pups hm? You want a hanyou brat to be part of our clan?"

"Hanyou births can be avoided, if the mother is a miko anyway." Quetzicol said with a slight scowl. "Why must you be so difficult? If you do not like Koga's decision than I suggest you speak to him. He won't listen, in all honesty, but you can do nothing more. Unless that is, you wish to challenge him?"

Shivo sat back crossing his arms in front of him. "I would if I had shards like him!"

"What would you do then huh? Mr. Wannabe leader, once you defeated him?" Kirin asked his hands on his hips as he looked down at Shivo.

"First I'd feed her," he said pointing to the still quietly slumbering Kagome, "to them." He then pointed to the sleeping mortal wolves. "Then we'd go down to the village down the way a bit and slaughter all the humans there, and any within my path."

Quetzicotal sighed heavily, "You hate humans so much don't you? And yet as you hate them, they grow stronger and smarter with each passing day."

"So?" Shivo said sitting up. "I am a great deal more powerful than they."

"Stronger than one maybe," Kirin interrupted, "but not six, or even five of them. They don't got body strength but they do have strength."

"Strength in numbers, exactly." Quetzicotal agreed.

"You've yet to make me like her." Shivo said agitatedly. He looked over at the girl, her covers had come off of her legs, and he couldn't help but notice it. She was such a fucking burden! Why did Koga insist..? His brain malfunctioned slightly as previously referenced to woman turned over and onto her stomach in her sleep, groaning rather loudly, and revealing to him her nicely shaped butt.

Kirin looked at Kagome briefly before laughing slightly. "Seems like Koga isn't the only one with a thing for her!" he laughed, at the slight arousal that was coming off of Shivo.

"S-silence Kirin! It's just my mating season! I'm supposed to be looking for a mate right now!" Shivo defended.

Quetzicotal sighed, "Oh come off it. I can smell your arousal but I know it's not your mating season. If it were Koga would have sent you off three days ago in search of a suitable bitch."

"I think not." Shivo defended, "He did not even go in search of one himself until just now!"

"Yes, but before," Quetzicotal said sitting down, "our ranks were much higher and there wasn't any need for us expand them through pups."

Shivo growled loudly and stood up, "What do you know any way?" he growled out and stepped further into the cave, ignoring the other's stares of confusion.

He sat against the back wall of the cave, and starred off into space for another few minutes. They all stopped even bothering to look at him eventually, content with letting him pout.

Movement to his left caught his attention and he realized the very reason he had been arguing with the others was sleeping only a meter or so away. She had turned over again, her back facing him.

He really did, he tried to look away but found that he could not. He just gazed over her body, from her full head of raven hair, down her immaturely curved shoulders, following the curve of her waist, then over her hip and down her perfect legs.

'She's not a human, she's a temptress in disguise! She must be!' and she was playing her tempting magic on him. Did she think he would fall prey to it so easily? He snorted to himself and looked away sharply with that thought.

However that didn't last as her scent filled his nose and he inhaled sharply. In no moment at all, every male in that little cave would leap upon the girl, the scent was fresh, but highly identifiable. There was no way in hell he liked the temptress wench but Koga would kill every male that touched, and his friends, though shit holes, didn't deserve that.

A woman in heat, youkai or otherwise could stirr a youkai into heat themselves. Worse should the woman lack a mate, a mark, be untainted, and a virgin. This little temptress was just that, and he found himself hard pressed not to simply climb on top of her himself.

And, just as predicted some of the men closer to the woman started to sniff and glance her way. He growled at them the warning of Koga's wrath, this sufficed for a while, however the girl's scent kept getting stronger, and the cave seemed suffocated with it.

He heard growling from some of the soldiers, more the youngest ones, his peers were the ones growling out their frustration. He watched any movement closely, damn he just wanted to fuck her! Where was Koga? He should have returned by then!

Then, pretty suddenly the tension seemed unbearable for the youngest in the cave, he stood up and jet from one side of the cave, headed dead for the slumbering temptress. "What do you think you are doing?" Shivo demmanded standing between the boy and his desires. "She is Koga's."

Said boy growled, "Move." he demmanded through gritted teeth.

"No, control yourself, you are not much younger than myself, but I won't hesitate to hurt you." Shivo stated simply getting ready for an attack.

"Tch, why are you bothering? You want her just as much as I do! We can share now come on and get out of the way!" The boy yelled getting ready to leap.

Three other men stood up and got in place behind the boy, they all wanted her, and they wouldn't hesitate to kill him for it. The damned temptress! Why did Koga have to bring her to this place? What's worse about just then, the boy's suggestion sounded really good, however he would not be persuaded in this.

Grumbling from behind him alerted him to the fact that the girl was now awake. "Wah? What?" she was taking in her surroundings about now, she probably had no idea why they were all standing the way they were.

The boy and the three behind him all looked at her, then back at Shivo, "We're not going to wait any longer! MOVE!" the boy demmanded loudly.

"She is Koga's woman! Do you want him to kill you all?" Shivo countered, but it was too late, they all launched themselves at him claws beared.

Shivo went to counter as best he was able, knowing full well that four of his comrades could easily kill him. However the three older ones were intercepted by his friends, two of which already had mates. The other one, the youngest and the leader of this was still dead set on him.

"W-what's going on?!" he heard the temptress scream as she seemed to understand what was going on, or perhaps something close to it.

Shivo caught the boys open claws with his own and they began a tuggle war of strength. "Let...Me...Have... HER!" The boy demmanded through gritted teeth, "You want her too! I can smell your arousal!"

The girl behind him yelped in fear and her scent spiked, almost making him loose his resolve. Still though, he wouldn't let Koga or his friends down like this. With speed that rivaled Koga's he pulled his knee up and hit the boy in the gut with all his strength.

He lost his wind instantly and stumbled back. Quickly Shivo glanced to the side, his friends were fairing fine, the other male's having been blinded by their lusts. Of course as he looked the other way his own opponent launched another attack.

The boy jabbed his claws forward in an attempt to impale Shivo, and luckilly for him at least, Shivo avoided the intent of the attack and was simply scratched rather deep across his chest. From the little experience he had he remembered not to let his opponents exposed arm get out of his sight, so quickly he grabbed the boy's arm and snapped both of his forearm bones.

He howled in pain and Shivo snapped his wrist across the boy's neck knocking him out instantly.

That's when he realized that his friends were also in a bit of a fix, over powered slightly.

Shivo sped up and cracked the lustfilled men's necks, also knocking them out.

"Oh gods..." Shivo heard the temptress whisper as she pulled herself as far into a corner as she could. However he couldn't find a place in his mind to care exacly what she was doing, he was now simply more concerned with the state of his companions.

"Are you well?" He asked them, they all nodded and sat down.

Quetzicotal though, was not so sure things were all well. "This should never have happened." he looked at Kagome then Shivo and Kirin, neither of them were mated and may well loose the control that had helped deffend the girl. "Will you two be alright?"

Salt reached Shivo's nose and he cringed slightly, now she was crying, just perfect, "Do not worry," he said, "I was able to keep myself under control when being right next to her, until Koga returns I'll be just fine."

"Whats going on?!" speak of the devil, and he shall appear!

C: I know this wasn't nice, and I know that I don't usually do end AN but what can I say?

D: Read and review please.
