Summary: Kagome wants to actually be able to help InuYasha fight instead of always getting in the way. During a battle, her wish is granted by someone...=) She helps them defeat the demon and everything but then, what's happened to her?! She's a demon?! (= InuYasha and co. don't know it's her and don't believe that it really is Kagome. Soon, everyone gets to know her as "The demon queen." Sesshoumaru is looking for a mate, hears about her, and is intrigued. What'll happen...?
Chapter 3
Contest part 2 and Sesshoumaru's mate
For some weird, unknown reason, InuYasha felt jealous and ignored the feeling.
'Keh!' he thought. There was no way he could b jealous of Sesshoumaru. Especially since he was with the demon who had killed Kagome. But then...there was this feeling, a feeling kind of like what he felt when Kagome was with Kouga.
InuYasha snuck into the party with interest. Nobody noticed the new smell except Kagome. She soon became alert but still looked calm. Her eyes grew sharper and she was looking for him. She knew who it was, even if no one else noticed.
Sesshoumaru caught the sharp look in her eyes and began to wonder who she was and why was she here with all the other lords? After all, she was only a female and possibly not very strong. He was wrong.
Rin was told to go somewhere else with Jaken. The other demons would have tried to hurt her and Jaken. After all, he was far too weak to even be here. Even as a servant. The lords of the lands seemed to notice how well cough cough he was getting along with Kagome.
"It seems Sesshoumaru has taken quite a liking to our little demon here," one of them said with interest. They nodded in agreement and the mates of the lords, who were great gossipers, spread the word quicker than a cup of water spilling. If you tried that, the whole room would have known about it before the cup or even the water reached the floor.
And of course, InuYasha heard too. =)
"Now. Let the contest begin!" the lord of the northern lands announced.
There was a moment of cheering and clapping and then all the female demons walked up to the big pit in the middle of the room. It was about a few feet deep and it probably prevented everyone else who wasn't in the contest from getting hurt. It was unbelievable to Kagome. Demons were so much more civilized than she had thought!
The two who jumped in first battled first. It was a very quick battle the first time. It was a rat demon who was extremely ugly against a cat demon. She was fairly pretty. Of course you can guess who won but I'll just tell you.
After that, it was the cat against a dog. Then dog, goat. An so on. In the end the winner was an oni named Yuri. She was actually kind of pretty, and looked a little like Yura. Maybe a relative? The only reason she won was because she tied everyone up with her hair and then tossed them around until they couldn't take it anymore. She looked pretty proud of herself and smiled at Sesshoumaru. He turned away. [1]
Kagome sweatdropped. These demons were extremely weak. Then there was a shout.
"HEY!"
Everyone looked around. Who had said that?
"......"
Another voice, similar to the first one shouted too.
"HOW ABOUT LETTING THE DEMON QUEEN FIGHT?!"
All around the room, demons started talking about it. Another voice shouted.
"YEA!"
Kagome recognized this one. 'INUYASHA...' she swore in her mind.
"IF SHE'S SO STRONG, PUT HER TO THE TEST!"
Everyone started to cheer her on.
"Yes, why don't you try it?" the southern lord asked encouragingly.
"Well, I couldn't possibly--"
"WHAT? YOU TOO SCARED?!"
That was it. InuYasha was going to pay. But first...
"Fine. I accept."
She got down with a graceful leap and winked at Sesshoumaru.
"Just to let you know, I have no intention of losing."
This surprised him a bit and he stared at her. Did she really want to be his mate? He ignored the fact that the lords of the other lands were making...inappropriate noises...They were nudging each other, grinning, and pointing at Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru shrugged it off. There was no way she could win. If Yuri could beat all the others, this girl couldn't win. It suddenly hit him. He didn't even know the girl's name! All he knew was that everyone called her the demon queen. He mentally hit himself on the head and went back to watching her.
"I won't let you take him away," growled Yuri.
Kagome smiled innocently.
"Take who away? I don't want him. =)"
She jumped into the pit and Yuri followed and tackled. Kagome easily threw her off and pinned her down, her claws in Yuri's face, ready to strike, poison dripping down from it. It was about to drop onto Yuri's face when Kagome pulled her hand back.
Yuri had her eyes closed in fright. Waiting for Kagome's claws to strike down, she was ready for the end. When nothing came, she slowly opened her eyes to see Kagome holding her hand out with a weak smile. Hesitantly, she took it.
"Why didn't you kill me?" she asked, slowly getting up. Kagome looked away and turned back with a big smile.
"Because, nobody deserves to die. Especially since this is only a contest. You aren't supposed to die, right? Then, they'd have to clean up your body and blah."
Kagome turned away slowly. "Besides, killing's not a game." She gave a sad smile. "AND," she added, "If I killed you, I would have a guilty conscience and I just can't deal with that right now."
Yuri giggled a little and let go of Kagome's hand. She had suddenly remembered. She had lost...Sesshoumaru was now Kagome's mate. InuYasha couldn't believe his eyes. How could she have defeated the winner so easily? Now, she would be Sesshoumaru's mate?
Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kaede walked to the village, talking things over.
"So, Kagome is...? " Kaede asked.
"Right," replied Sango.
The villagers had now come back, under the reassurance of Kaede.
"And what of InuYasha?" Kaede asked, worried. InuYasha already had to deal with Kikyou dying, Kagome would have made things even worse.
"He thinks that another demon killed her and is now tracking her down," Miroku said.
"This demon...is a female?"
"Yep," Shippou replied.
"So where is InuYasha now?"
"He followed her down a hole or something. We're not sure. That jerk left without saying a word. "
" I see..." Kaede said thoughtfully, when in truth, she had no idea what was going on.
InuYasha found a chair and sat as he saw Kagome going back up to where she was sitting before. He didn't know what to call her but that was what she said her name was. He didn't like calling her that.
The eastern lord declared, "Here is your mate, Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru didn't say much but Kagome declined. "Um, excuse me, but I don't want to-- "
She caught InuYasha staring at her seriously.
"Excuse me for a sec."
She ran over to InuYasha and grabbed his arm so fast that nobody noticed anything.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? "
InuYasha shrugged.
"Are you going to do it?" he asked. "You're going to be Sesshoumaru's mate?"
Kagome sighed.
"NO."
With that, she shoved him out further and locked the door.
"What's the problem?"
"Nothing I couldn't handle. Just a little hanyou problem. And another thing, I don't think I want Sesshoumaru to be my mate."
Everyone gasped. InuYasha, who was outside, grinned.
[1] This is NOT a fight to the death thing because then, they would have to clean up the remaining bodies. The room would stink cuz the bodies would rot. You know why they would rot? Cuz demons are too lazy to clean, that's why. LOL They wouldn't pick up the remaining bodies and the room probably couldn't be used anymore. Poo...
