Chapter Fifteen-Kagome's Mate
The silence was too much, and Inuyasha stood up. "Those marks... are the marks of a mate... a demon mate."
Kagome looked at him, "Inuyasha?"
He looked at her coldly, "I love you Kagome, and this is what I get in return? You're some other demon's mate!"
Kagome stood up, looking at him right in the eyes, tears filling in them. "Inuyasha, I had no idea about any of this! I would never do this to you! I wouldn't do anything!"
He growled, and stormed out of the hut. Kagome sighed, and sat back down. She looked at Kaede, "can you tell me who made the marks, Kaede?"
Kaede sighed, "I do not know, child. It will take a while, and ye might need to stay here."
"Whatever it takes, I must find out who made the marks on my neck," Kagome said.

Inuyasha walked through the woods, his hands crossed across his chest, anger in his mind, and sorrow in his heart. Kagome had a mate, and he was the one that wanted to share it with her. He wanted to share the thought that they would be together, even if they were not side-by-side, they were connected. But, no, she has another demon as her mate.
"I wouldn't doubt it if it's Naraku," Inuyasha said bitterly. "That dream I had, maybe her dream was connected to it. Maybe Naraku really laid a hand on her, and now he's her mate!"
He began to run, trying desperately to let the anger out of him. "Kagome left me! I love her and she has another mate!" He ran, ignoring the cries of his legs and feet, ignoring the sense in the back of his mind, ignoring everything. He just ran.
He stopped suddenly to catch his breath. He placed his hand on a tree to steady himself upright. A scent came to his nose, and he looked up, seeing a man walking towards him. The man was carrying a staff, and had the clothes of a monk on him. His black hair was tied behind his head in a small ponytail, and Inuyasha looked up at him, standing up straight.
"Miroku, it's been a long time," Inuyasha said.
Miroku grinned, "that is has. Tell me, Inuyasha, how are things for you?"
"Could be better," he said, trying not to hide his anger.
But Miroku could sense it since he arrived, and that is why he is here in the first place. "Don't lie to me, Inuyasha. I felt your anger from miles away. It's a good thing that Sango was asleep, otherwise she would be here already, breathing down your neck."
"So, what did I do to make her so upset?"
"You left Kagome, four years ago."
"You saw her, she came back." Inuyasha bit out. "Now she's got... she's got herself another mate."
Miroku looked shocked, "another mate? She would never do that to you, Inuyahsa."
"You honestly think so? Well, I guess we were all wrong! She had the two marks on her neck to prove for it! She's got a mate and it's not me!"
"But you wish it was?"
"Of course! I love Kagome with all my heart and soul! I don't want anything to happen to her, and look at where she's at now!"
Miroku stepped forward to him, and placed his hand on Inuyasha's arm. "Inuyasha, have you considered how Kagome is feeling with all of this? She may be crying as we speak, thinking of what she has done, wondering at who would do that to her."
Inuyasha looked away, "it doesn't matter."
Miroku took his hand away and stepped back. "Inuyasha, I cannot tell you what to do, and I cannot help you at all with this. But, I want to give you one word of advice. Find out who it is, and get all the facts first before you jump to conclusions."
With that, Miroku left, and Inuyasha was left alone in the woods.

Kaede sighed, "I do not know whose blood this is, Kagome."
"It's not Naraku's?" Kagome asked.
Kaede shook her head, "no, that much I can tell ye."
Kagome let out the breath she was holding, "that's a relief."
"But, I do not think that this man was in this time. He might be from yes time, Kagome."
"My time?" Kagome's mind ran to many possibilities, thinking of every man that she ever knew. Not Jake, Hojo... Armon... Her mind stopped right there. He was in her dream, was it him that these marks belonged to? But, would that mean that he's a demon?
She stood up, "Kaede, I must leave, thank you for helping me. Oh, and can I have the blood you took from the marks?"
Kaede handed her the small bowl of the blood, and Kagome thanked her, then rushed out of the hut towards the well.

AN: What did you guys think? Cool or what? Well, I better get going, I'm not feeling well, and I better take some more medicine. Laters!
