AN: Okay, okay, I'm so sorry! It has been a long time since I really wrote anything for this story, but I am back with plenty of ideas!! * Cheers, screams and claps sound off * okay, okay, thank you! Lol, ok, maybe that was a little too far, but a girl can dream, can't she?

Oh, one more thing before I get to the replies and then the story, a friend of mine and I are working on a Witch Hunter Robin story together. It will be under her pen name, Strawberrylover, but we don't have anything for it yet but an idea for the first chapter. I will tell you the title and all that soon, but, please be on the look out for it, and please read it once it is out. Thank you if you do, and that's okay if you don't.

Replies!

Demonkitty869: I'm updating as fast as I can, but I'm so glad you like it! Thanks!

Strawberrylover: Moi? Have great work? You must be thinking of someone else. Well, I didn't say it was Armon just yet, but I can let you think that. Oops, forgot to tell you I was updating, sorry!

Palmtree-Epiphany: You like it? You really like it? Wow, I got a big WOW for 14 and 15. Do I get an even bigger WOW if I do good on this one? I hope so. I want a WOW. Lol. Thanks, glad you like it!

Inuyasha Fan(): Oh, I will keep writing stories unless someone really hates them and they force me to stop, but I doubt that. Oh, I will finish it, just no too soon yet. Glad you like it! Thanks!

Katsuri: Aww, thanks, my writers block is almost completely over. And don't delete your story just yet. It takes a while for a writer to come up with something. But, the way I always get ideas is I always think of one thing that I am doing, write it out in my head like a story, and BOOM! I've got my next chapter. Hehe, well, that's my secret, don't you be telling anyone about it! Lol, just kidding, it's no secret. Well, glad you love it! Thanks so much!

Marlene: The two marks are the marks of a mate, a demon mate. The demon bites his mate on the back of her neck, and it stays there until one of the mates die. It's a demon version of a wedding ring, kind of. Oh, never! I would never have Kagome go with Naraku! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!! Lol, yeah, never. Well, please keep reading! Glad you like it! Thanks!

AmayaSaria: I did! Lol. Thanks for the idea. Sorry I didn't use it. I'll save for later in the story though. Just keep reminding me in your reviews okay? Well, glad you like it! Thanks!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the other characters from that show. But, Armon is mine, so is Emily, Jake and... the songs! Those are mine thank you very much.

Chapter Sixteen-Inuyasha's Mate

Inuyasha had wandered alone in the woods for days. No one had heard a word from him. Miroku and Sango left their children in Kaede's care, and went in search of the half demon. Days after days they looked, but the young man was nowhere to be found.

Sango sighed and sat down on the nearest rock. "Where in the world could he have gone?"

Miroku crossed his arms across his chest and closed his eyes, "I do not know. He seemed pretty upset when I last saw him. And Kagome hasn't come back to our time for days, either. I wonder what has gotten into them."

Sango waved her hand in the air, "it was probably some little fight or something."

Miroku sighed, "I didn't tell you yet... did I?"

"Tell me what?"

"Kagome has a mate, and it's not Inuyasha."

Sango's mouth dropped, and she stood up. "What? Are you sure?"

Miroku looked up at the sky. "Inuyasha is really upset about it. He thinks Kagome did that to him on purpose. He told me he loved Kagome, and wanted to be her mate, but she has someone else now. He's really hurt."

"What did you tell him?"

"I told him to get all the facts straight before jumping to conclusions."

Sango smiled and hugged him, "I love you."

He looked down at her and hugged her back, "I love you, too. But we just have to help Inuyasha and Kagome."

She nodded, "we can take a little break. I'm too tired to look right now."

Miroku nodded, "a break sounds good."

~*~

Inuyasha let his shoulders drop as he watched Sango and Miroku holding onto each other from his spot in a tree over them. He realized that it was sickening him, so he got up and took off away from them.

Once he was sure he was far enough from them, he landed on the grass and walked on foot. His mind raced, Kagome has another mate, and now he was alone. He couldn't return to Kikyo, could he? Well, he supposed he could. He smirked and started to sniff out Kikyo.

He caught her scent, and went after it. After ten minutes of running, he saw her, talking with a small group of little children. She looked up and frowned when she saw him. She walked past the children and towards Inuyasha.

"Kikyo..." he said.

"Inuyasha, you dare show up in my village." She said, her voice cold.

"Kikyo, I'm sorry I left you, I didn't mean to. Honestly. Please forgive me."

"What of that girl?"

"She has a mate..."

"Oh, Inuyasha..." Kikyo walked up to him and wrapped her cold arms around his waist. "I'm so sorry. I told you she was trouble."

"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, Kikyo." Inuyasha said, holding her back. (AN: KIKYO MUST DIE!! I know it's my story, but still, I had to write it but I hate it!) "I wish I had listened to you. I'm sorry that this happened."

"Oh, Inuyasha, it's okay. I'm here with you now. I won't hurt you like she did. You are my only mate."

'Mate?' Inuyasha thought. He moved her hair away, and indeed, saw the two marks of a mate on her neck. He was the one that made those! 'Great, Kagome has a mate and I got mad, but Kikyo was my mate all along! Stupid... I'm such a jerk!'

He pushed Kikyo away and took off towards the well. "I have to apologize to Kagome," he said to himself as he ran. "I know she will kill me, but I have to apologize... and tell her Kikyo is my mate..."

Kagome called Hojo and asked him to take a blood sample and give it to her. She told him it was for a school project, and then she called Jake and asked the same of him. She held the phone in her hand, getting ready to dial Armon's number. Her heart twisted, but she dialed the number slowly.

"Hello Kagome," his voice came back.

"Armon, I have a question to ask of you," Kagome said, trying to sound confident.

"I was the one that made the marks on your neck, yes," he said.

She choked, "what?"

"Isn't that what you were going to ask?"

"I was going to ask you for a blood sample," she said. "But, I was going to use it to..."

"Figure out if it was my blood, huh?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, you got your answer."

Kagome swallowed, "but why, Armon?"

"I love you Kagome!" He yelled. "I want you to be mine no matter what it takes!"

"How did you bite me, Armon?"

"I love you Kagome, and you are now mine!"

"Armon, tell me, how did you bite me?"

"No one can take you away from me! No one!"

Kagome rolled her eyes and hung up. She got what she wanted to know, now all she had to do was tell Inuyasha.

"Kagome!" A voice called for her from her window. She frowned and walked over to the window, opened it, and looked out. Inuyasha was on the roof, and he came inside.

"Inuyasha!" She cried. "I've got something to tell you!"

"Me first," he said. "Sit down," she sat down on the bed, and he walked up and held her hands. "Kagome, I know you will get mad at me, but please, listen to me before you do anything rash. I am sorry I got upset with you when I found out you had a mate and it wasn't me. I just love you so much that I can't stand the thought that you would belong to someone else but me."

He tightened his grip on her hand a little bit. "Kagome, what you may hear you may not like, but please know that I did not mean for it to happen, for I was afraid you would never return to me."

"What is it, Inuyasha?" She asked.

"Kikyo is my mate."
