Chapter 15: The Missing Mark

Inuyasha ran back to the cabin, and gently awoke Kagome.

She stirred in her sleep, until she finally opened her eyes. Kagome glanced at Inuyasha and smiled.

"What's up?" she yawned and slowly sat up, gripping the covers over her. She giggled slightly.

"Naraku's poison insects are surrounding the cabin… plus I sense the stench of a demon close by…" Inuyasha answered and looked around the small cabin.

Kagome quickly stood up, rapidly put on her sailors outfit, and went to the corner to get her sacred bows and arrows.

"W-What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked nervously.

Kagome neatly tied her red lace, and looked at Inuyasha confused.

"I'm going to help you." she said smiling and walked straight to the cabin door, until she felt Inuyasha's hand grab her.

"No… you are going to go outside and look for Sango and Miroku… those bastards have disappeared for all I know… please find them." Inuyasha said sternly.

Kagome gave a small grunt and walked out saying something that sounded like "boys"…

Inuyasha grabbed his tetsusaiga and hurried out of the door.

Kagome POV

"Sango!" Kagome shouted, looking for the demon slayer, around and around the cotton fields.

"Here I am!" Sango shouted back.

Kagome spotted her by the dandelion fields, picking up flowers and placing them on Shippo's paws. Kagome also spotted Miroku staring at the horizon.

"Guys… I am very glad I have found you, Inuyasha is in trouble… he scented a demon, and Naraku's poison insects are surrounding the cabin!" Kagome yelped.

Sango followed by Miroku and Shippo stood up at the same time and hurried over to Inuyasha's aid.

Kagome, trailing behind them, lost her breath.

"Wait for me…" she exclaimed.

She looked down for a couple of seconds and looked up to see Seeshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother smirking at her.

She gasped at his appearance.

"Seeshomaru! What are you doing here?" Kagome asked surprisingly.

"Well… I sense a change in you… Kagome…" he smirked.

"What is that supposed to mean?!" Kagome snapped at him, heated.

Seeshomaru walked towards Kagome, and placed his one arm around her waste, pulling her close to him.

"You have mated with Inuyasha." he said sternly.

"So?" Kagome asked coolly. "Get off me!"

Seeshomaru looked around Kagome, eyeing her neck, lips, eyes, cheeks… looking on every spot, but didn't look like he found what he wanted.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing?!" Kagome asked dumbfounded.

Seeshomaru looked back at her, and smiled.

"You know…" he raised his hands to her face, and started caring it. "I always liked you… but I knew my brother… already had you…"

"So? What does that have to do… What?! You liked me?!" Kagome asked surprised.

"Yes… but I never wanted to touch you… were a mere mortal… you died faster than an ant… I always thought u weren't no use to me…" he pulled her closer. "But… I cant lie to myself anymore… I love you Kagome! I really love you! Come and live with me… in my castle… you can have anything you want! We even have a daughter! Rin! She is our daughter!"

"You cant have me! You cant!"

"Yes I can! You know why? You wanna know why? Your love so called Inuyasha… forgot to mark you…"

Kagome let out a sharp gasp, and closed her eyes. She opened them to see Seeshomaru laughing quietly.

"You…still cant have me! Because I don't love you! Ahh!"

Seeshomaru started shaking her madly, wanting to make her understand his love.

Kagome couldn't handle all the pain that shot through her head.

"Sees… let go of me… please!" she struggled to say, but it didn't go through to him.

He finally let her go and she toppled on the ground.

Kagome started breathing heavily.

What's with Seeshomaru?

Seeshomaru grabbed Kagome by the arm.

Kagome felt as if the world suddenly gone black and white. The world was spinning, and so was Seeshomaru image.

She couldn't breath, all she managed was to say one word…

"INUYASHA!!"
