I don't own Inuyasha……… gets urge to kill Rumiko Takahashi, which I get often… oops… did I just type that!

Hanyou and a Demon

Chapter 4: Marking


"So Kagome, these are all of your friends from the feudal era?" Sota asked.

"Yes, Sota. And I couldn't love them more."


After Kagome, her family, and her 'family' had eaten a wonderful meal cooked by Ms.Higurashi, they had finally decided to stay for the night…

"Mom, it would be too much of a burden for us all to sleep here, but I don't know what to do with them all…" Kagome was sitting with her mother at the table drinking tea,

"Don't worry about it, Kagome. Your friends Koga and Miroku can sleep in the small hut.

"And I don't know what to do about school. Mom, I'm sorry…"

"Don't be dear. After all, this was an accident right?" Her mom asked,

"Yes, it was. I'm not even sure how it happened. I'm guessing it has to do with these marks." Kagome pulled down the collar of her shirt so her mother could see.

"Kagome, you should have grandpa look at that. He knows all about demons, unfortunately…" Kagome's mother sighed.

"Who said my name?" Grandpa stuck his head out of the kitchen,

"Father, would you come look at the marks Kagome has on her shoulder?"

"Sure," Her grandpa was already at the table, "Kagome, to tell you the truth… I have no idea." said Kagome's grandpa,

"Do you mind if I look at it?" Sango had just walked into the room, Miroku trailing her with a bright red mark on his face. Hand shaped…

"Sure, Sango." Kagome looked hopefully at her friend.

Sango peered at the marks, "Well, Kagome, I'm afraid that you have been claimed as someone's mate. And, judging by the fact that he was the only demon around to do it, Sesshoumaru's mate." Sango looked at her sadly.

"W-WHO'S WHAT!" Koga looked up from the video games he was playing with Sota and Inuyasha. "YOU DID NOT JUST SAY SESSHOUMARU!"

"Sango, did you just say Sesshoumaru? The same Sesshoumaru that has tried to kill us more times than I can count!" Miroku looked towards Sango with a shocked look.

"I'm afraid I did. Inuyasha, why aren't you yelling? I thought that you would be yelling more than Koga." Sango looked toward her friend.

"I already knew. When I saw the mark earlier I knew she had been claimed. When I smelled it, it had Sesshoumaru's scent all over it. That's when I figured it out. Sesshoumaru hadn't intended to mark her, he probably stole Kagome to get the Tetsusaiga, but ended up doing this to get back at me for being born."

"Um, excuse me, who is this Sesshoumaru?" Kagome's mother asked, "And what do you mean by mate?"

"In our world, when a demon takes a mate, it is the same as getting married for humans. The differences are that the inferior mate has no choice in whether she is marked or not. She also cannot have another mate and must remain loyal to them. In other words, the superior mate can have as many mates as he wants and treat the other like dirt. The inferior will have to be by his side until one of their deaths. I know it doesn't sound fair, but with demons, that's just how it works." Sango finished.

"But Kagome, doesn't that mean that you would have to be with this Sesshoumaru guy? And by the sound of things, it doesn't sound like you two like each other." Sota asked. He was completely right. Kagome would almost rather marry Koga and bear his child… Then you know she really doesn't want to be with Sesshoumaru.

"You're right, Sota. I don't want to be with Sesshoumaru, but I'm afraid that I might have to." Kagome looked toward her mother, "And Sesshoumaru is Inuyasha's older half-brother. The demon lord of the Western Lands. To top it all off, he is the strongest of all the demon lords. So I'm afraid that I have no choice."

Muahahahahaha… I don't feel like torturing you today, so I will update in 1-2 days. Yay.
