Broken Backgrounds
"M-M-Mated?" Inuyasha and Kagome simultaneously screamed.
"Why of course! Don't you know anything? When two youkai who love each other very much bite each other on the right neck and shoulder junction, they mate for life. There is a consequence of mate biting before you actually mate though…" Melodi calmly explained to them.
"Consequence? No one even explained MATE BITING TO ME!" Inuyasha howled.
"I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE MATED! WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT SCHOOL? WILL THE MARK GO AWAY? HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO LIVE THE REST OF OUR LIVES?"
Kagome was still shocked and speechless, but in her mind she thought, Consequence, what consequence?
"YEH, WHAT KAGOME SAID!" Inuyasha voiced for Kagome.
"Inuyasha, Kagome hasn't said anything…" Sesshomaru calmly said. "Are you hallucinating? Or is your love for each other that strong that you can already mind-speak to each other? That usually doesn't take place until AFTER you physically mate."
"Wait, let's not get ahead of ourselves here…What is this consequence you were talking about Melodi?" Kagome said while sliding out of Inuyasha's arms and standing next to Inuyasha, not noticing that his arm was still around her shoulder.
"Well, the consequence is different for each couple. For instance, Sesshomaru and I couldn't step out of each others sight or we would be sprung back together. I developed so many bruises from that before me and Sesshomaru actually…you know…" Melodi blushed furiously.
"Is there anyway we can find out what our consequence is?" Kagome patiently stared at the two mates in front of her.
"Well, you can start by walking away from Inuyasha. It usually has to do with how separated the couple is." Sesshomaru said.
Kagome started to take one step when she noticed that Inuyasha's left arm was around her shoulder. She peeled it off using her right hand and started to walk, but noticed that Inuyasha was still holding her right hand.
"Inuyasha, this isn't going to work if you're going to keep holding my hand." Kagome said while turning to Inuyasha only to find his face looking very surprised.
"Kagome, it's not me. I can't take my hand away from yours. It's like we're stuck together by sticky glue or something." Inuyasha squeaked out.
"Aha, so you have to be touching skin to skin…Hmm….How unusual." Sesshomaru said while letting his hand rest on his chin in a pondering way.
"I don't care about how unusual it is! I want to know how to stop this other than physically mating!" Kagome yelled.
"That's the catch, Kagome. There is no other way…" Melodi said.
"WHAT?" Inuyasha and Kagome simultaneously screamed.
"Well, Mating is stronger than marriage…because you can't undo a mate-bite. So, if the two youkai mate-bite each other, they must be meant to be. Inuyoukai are prone to be over protective of the people they choose to mate with, so they usually mate-bite before physically mating." Sesshomaru explained.
"I think I need some time to think…Alone!" Kagome said through clenched teeth.
"Same." Inuyasha said. "Come on. Let's go to my room."
Inuyasha and Kagome turned around and silently entered Inuyasha's room. Kagome flopped down onto the bed and brought Inuyasha down with her.
"What are we going to do? What about school? What about showering? And changing? And Kami knows what else?" Kagome whispered.
"I don't think it really matters. I mean sooner or later the news will make it out. And about the other stuff... I don't think we really have to worry too much about that. I mean we're eventually going to have to see each other naked. So should it really matter at all? I mean I certainly don't care if you see me without my clothes because I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you anyways, whether I like it our not!"
"So, you mean you won't like spending the rest of your life with me?" Kagome said while standing up, anger flaring. "Sit, boy!"
Both Inuyasha and Kagome were flung to the floor by the necklace Kagome had put on Inuyasha as a joke earlier that year.
"I didn't know it would hurt so badly." Kagome mumbled into the ground. "How do you get used to it?"
"Oh, well, you sit me so much…" Inuyasha said through gritted teeth. Damn wench. She should know it hurts my pride more than my back.
Well, I would stop if you asked me nicely! Kagome thought to Inuyasha indignantly.
A/N: WOW HOW AMAZING! THEY ARE MATED NOW! I BET YOU DIDN'T EXPECT THE CONSEQUENCE EITHER! I DON'T KNOW WHY I AM TALKING IN ALL CAPS, IT'S JUST REALLY FUN AND IT'S REALLY COOL. Like when people say things twice for emphasis, EMPHASIS! lol. Anyways, I hope you guys liked the story and here is the
REVIEW OF REVIEWS!
Chapter Three Reviews:
HerbalEssence: I updated!
Shin Kerron: Hmm. I meant for that to signify their bonding and all the spiritualness (I know…not a word!) involved. It was also like a beam that let everyone in their immediate family know of their status relationship…It meant a lot of things, some of which I still haven't figured out. I saw this whole story in a dream of mine…so I'm just following my dream! Teehee.
MiniSparky: Thanks! And I updated!
New moonfull moon: I try to make things as interesting as they can be…I'm also trying to make the chappies longer so bare with me here!
