Heylo! First of all thank you to all my reviewers—you know who you are—I really appreciate the good advice I've been given. Second of all I need more ideas. If you have any suggestions don't feel shy, email me them.

Like this: Iiya-yasha "hey I like this story a lot so please update soon. Anyways I want Kagome to Kill Kikyou and kouga to be kicked out of the Western lands. Sango to find Miroku with that other chick and argue with them. I want Inuyasha to "torture" kagome but ends up realizing how he feels for her. ok now how does this work...Cross one arm then the next now nod and blink together. Dang! it didn't work oh well I'll just wait for the next chapter!"

See, Iiya-yasha knew what she wanted; so I'm going to try to make it out like this. Sorry though, I won't have Kagome kill Kikyo—yet; I have something else in store for her and Kouga needs to stay 'cause I'll probably have Ayame kick his ass Inuyasha won't torture Kagome because—well you'll see, but I liked the idea of Sango finding Miroku with that chick. So thank you Iiya-yasha, I will use some of your suggestions, 'cause they're really good.

Chapter 10: Competition in the field

Sango had made it outside—just barely—and was slowly sinking into a familiar bemused stupor. She lowered Kagome unsteadily to the ground and collapsed. She didn't hear the baying and grunts, she didn't smell the grotesque scent of unwashed males and sweat, she didn't feel anyone touch her but she managed to growl once before she went wide-eyed and blank.

Inuyasha and Miroku finally caught up with them and were disgusted by the sight before them. Hundreds of lesser youkai and some of the more important youkai were swarming them. Each was crouching, ready to fight for a new mate. Inuyasha could see one of them lean down and turn Kagome over; he growled low in his throat and all of them stood stock still. "I thought I told you all to get lost," he whispered dangerously.

A familiar tall and pale hanyou with long black hair said smoothly, "Ah Lord Inuyasha, we were just inspecting them. We all know youkai custom; isn't there usually a contest of who will win the delicious prize?" Inuyasha's golden eyes narrowed and he stuffed a growl back into his throat as hatred washed over him; Naraku. "Feh, of course I know the custom, but these are Southern Spies, we must make an exception."  

Naraku smirked, "Why is that? They are still youkai, and female ones in heat. They need a male to satisfy their needs. Wouldn't you agree?" Inuyasha's face darkened with anger, "Are you questioning me?" he demanded. Naraku bowed mockingly and replied, "Of course not, milord, it's just that as a Lord you must always obey custom, mustn't you?"

Inuyasha grinned suddenly, "You know what? You're right. Here, let me take care of the lesser competition right now." He pulled out a transformed tetsusaiga and delivered one blow into the scattering ring of lesser youkai. Immediately every one of them were slain and Inuyasha barely looked moved. "Now, how many more of you?" he asked lightly.

Miroku—meanwhile—had been inching over to Sango and Kagome. While everyone's attention was distracted, he scooped them up and darted away. Inuyasha was watching this and he swung yet again directly into the masses that had been using the girls as shields. They quickly dodged although a few of them were more than scraped.

Then Sesshoumaru showed up. "What are you all doing here?" he asked coldly. He sniffed the air and then he looked around. "There will be no breeding tonight. These are spies, have you not heard? Get out of my Lands immediately," he ordered. One hot-headed desperate youkai dared to question him. "Why should we?" he demanded haughtily. Sesshoumaru merely flicked out his whip, almost carelessly, and brushed it across him.

With a scream the other youkai recoiled clutching a smoking face. The others go the hint and rocketed away. Sesshoumaru turned to look at his brother and Miroku with distaste. "You really are idiots," was all he said. Then he took the girls from Miroku and took off for the castle. Inuyasha was seething but Miroku was thoughtful. "What do you think he'll do to them?" he asked with a worry creased face. Inuyasha spun around and snarled, "How the hell should I know?!" Miroku sighed and sprinted for the castle. Inuyasha decided he needed some advice. After he talked Sesshoumaru out of interrogating the spies he needed to talk to Kaede.

Sesshoumaru was carrying the girls back to their temporary room when he bumped into Kagura; she looked hysterical. "Oh thank kami you found them!" she cried. "I thought those idiots had already violated them." She quickly inspected them for wounds and then coolly turned away. "Thank you Sesshoumaru, I'm glad you stopped them," she said softly and then walked away. 

Sesshoumaru shook his head and put them back in their 'prison'. Kagome was beginning to stir. She'd gone thru the first lapse in her heat and soon the second one would pass; she needed to find some water. Stumbling Kagome found a small pond of fresh crystal water. She lowered her face to drink it like a cat and then she tumbled into an ungraceful heap by the calm pond. She crawled her way back to her bed and decided there was no way she and Sango could make a run for it. They were both totally submerged in the heat.

It was when she actually cared to sniff the room for danger that the danger sprung out at her. "Who the hell are you?" she mumbled lazily. It was a hanyou, she was sure, but it wasn't Inuyasha. She could barely make out the sly smirk before she was roughly pulled up and forcefully kissed. His hands snaked around her and caressed her back but with a hiss she struck at him and drew blood from his face.

She shuddered with disgust when she realized he was practically purring with delight. He wiped his hand across his bloodied face and smeared the blood on Kagome's lips. Her face contorted in revulsion and she tried to wipe it off. The dark haired hanyou smiled and lowered his face to lick away the blood from her lips. Then Kagome's faithful protector began to stir. She made out the scene of a hanyou forcing himself onto Kagome and shrieked her anger. Springing from where she lay; Sango vaulted onto this back and clawed him with the desperate force of a panicked best friend.

Ayame was coming back to check on the girls and fix them up while they were still a bit weak when she heard male curses and female cries, she also smelt blood. She dropped everything in her hands and ran for Kagura. They were back in an instant and they saw a barely conscious Sango holding onto an unconscious Kagome. Naraku was above both of them smirking but he turned with a snarl to face Kagura.

"Little daughter of mine, you won't dare interrupt me, will you?" he asked in a venomous tone. Kagura saw red and in a blur she was on him; without hesitation Ayame sprung to her defence and let out a deafening howl of animalistic rage.

Kouga heard Ayame's cry and felt a tinge of worry; he whirl wind away to help her out. Unfortunately—or fortunately, depending on whose point of view you were looking at—the new Lord, Inuyasha, Miroku, half the female servants (all good friend's with Ayame) and a little kitsune cub playing with a captured neko heard it too and decided to investigate.
