Chapter 8 - Inuyasha

Sesshoumaru had sent word to his brother he and his little pack in staying in Keade's village would have to take care of an inuyoukai female who needs protecting from a hanyou named Naraku. The name sounded familiar and after searching through books he found why.

It seems that Naraku was Naraku jr. since his father who had been Naraku senior had also been a hanyou but his mother was a full demon. His mother had two other pups named Kagura and Kanna, which had been brought before him to mate long ago. He had refused saying very cruel things before having them thrown from the palace. He had heard about the newest member of the family and it had been a while since they last tried to get him to mate the whore Kagura. You could smell all the males that have been on her. It was a lot…

The original Naraku had fought Inuyasha for the Shikon no Tama. His son was named after him and from what he'd heard had a fascination with Kagome. Thinking about it Sesshoumaru felt glaring at anything and everything. With having to send off Kikyo and with a female solider named Fusha and then talking with Yukena he had to many things to think about.

He was kind of glad to send off Fusha though because at one point they had been lovers. Of course he was very young and never noticed his hopefully mate was cheating with another solider. He hoped she tried to get into his bed and Kagome caught her trying to touch him while he refused and killed her. It would get rid of the problem since he didn't believe in killing women. Though he had killed her secret lover and told her to stay away from his bed after he found out. Ever since she had been trying to get within his bed once again.

Kagome sat before him and obviously didn't notice how far over her kimono had slid. They were sitting in the library and her kimono had fallen open to one side just before her curls. He moved his gaze when she moved making it fall showing him her entire lower region. His arousal was filling the air and he really didn't need to do something stupid.

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru and wondered why he was so tense. She glanced around trying to find the reason when she felt a breeze from the open window caress her legs. Her eyes went straight to her lap and her face turned bright red when she found her legs and cunt open to the world. She stood quickly moving her kimono so it wouldn't fall again before going back to her book. It was very interesting because Sesshoumaru stating his pervious lovers wrote it and she narrowed her eyes at the name Fusha.

Walking toward him she slammed the book against the table he was sitting at and glared at the name. She saw him sigh before explaining. Once she found out he had been a lover to Fusha but she had another lover behind his back she calmed. Nodding Kagome pulled up a chair and began reading the book looking at every name and memorizing every one. She didn't need some whore or pervious lover coming to take what was hers.

Did she just say hers?

Kagome's eyes widened and she groaned hitting her head against the book. This caught the attention from Sesshoumaru and he raised an eyebrow. "Nothing," she mumbled against the pages as his eyes turned to concerned and he went back to his reading. She couldn't believe she had said he was hers. They weren't mates and even if he wanted to be they weren't yet. She couldn't believe she believe him to be hers when they had only just met a few days ago. Hitting her head once again she sighed and began reading once again.

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes thinking it was over someone she'd read he'd slept with. That book was very old well not to youkai but still it was old. Back when he was thinking about taking a mate he'd wrote down all the possible female but he found them all to be whores or major bitches so he set the book down and never looked at it again. He decided to ask her, "What is wrong little butterfly?"

Kagome looked over at him and said, "I thought something that doesn't certain you. It is my business and I'm not telling you." Her face was flaming because he'd just asked her to say she'd considered him hers. Like she'd tell him that until he proved to be a strong male and best to bare her pups with.

Sesshoumaru smirked, oh yes now he knew it had to do with him. She always flamed when she thought something and he'd ask and fine it to be about him. After the last time she had decided not to say that concerned him. She had been so open and then decided not to tell him unless it didn't have to do with him. He had found so much out about her after speaking with her mother as well. It seemed the older inu female had paid more attention to her hated daughter then she thought.

Yukena had left early this morning right after he'd sent Fusha off with Kikyo. Though Fusha wasn't that good of a bedmate she was a great warrior. Well she couldn't compare with Kagome's sleeping tenshi to warrior hime but she was good enough. She had spoke fondly of her mate and how even if she found pleasure in another male she wouldn't take another mate. She spoke a little harder when speaking of Kagome but not so much for him not to see she held fondness for her daughter.

Kikyo seem to be growing closer to Kagome even if they hadn't been close before. They had been together talking and making up while she was there. When sent off his attention had been on Fusha's glare at Kagome. It seemed the solider already didn't like his choice of a Lady. Kagome held a smirk the entire time and allowed her aura to flare around Fusha and he'd seen her pale before bowing and walking off with Kikyo before they began to run.

It had been a long day and he was sure it was going to get longer. He wanted to fight Kagome later close to dusk like his father had his mother. They had both been drove so far that only instincts drove them forward. Eventually his father won and managed to pull them under his mother's favorite tree before falling asleep. It was said they both held a smile afterward and the story made his heart swell.

oOo

Kikyo walked with Fusha gazing at the sky above her. Sure she liked the forest but she didn't want to ruin her kimono, which was the only reason why she refused to do what she loved. She really did like running with the breeze in her air but she felt her fancy kimonos deserved to not be ruined everyday. Yes she would love to run through the forest like Kagome did but she didn't want to seem like the adventure type. She wasn't and never had been so she didn't want to make people think she was.

She glance over at Fusha and narrowed her chocolate eyes. She knew from once she saw Fusha she wouldn't like her. She had that ability around other people. Fusha was no different and she knew she wouldn't like her. Fusha had sent glares, and looks full of hatred toward her sister who she was just beginning to understand and enjoy. She had thought at first it was because Kagome looked and smelled perfect but she soon found that to be wrong. Fusha didn't like Kagome because she was getting close to Sesshoumaru and making him softer then he seemed. The glare sent toward the arm wrapped around Kagome's waist proved that but her sister sent out her aura and Fusha backed off.

Fusha glanced at Kikyo. Well at least Kagome's sister wasn't that bad but she didn't want anyone getting so close to her man. Ever since she got caught with her love she had been trying to get back with Sesshoumaru. He had killed her love and she was going to kill any female he wanted. She had been ready to pounce on Kagome but her aura flared to life and she experienced a small amount of her power. She wasn't a fool and wasn't going to do something extremely stupid but she might be able to trick her into bedding another male and Sesshoumaru to kill her. Yeah that's what she would do.

Kikyo knew Fusha was thinking of ways to get rid of Kagome as they neared the village. It wasn't that hard to figure out and she knew it might have something to do with getting Kagome killed by Sesshoumaru in bloodlust. Well there was only few ways that could happen. Since Kagome was using Mating Rites any male who tried would die but if in heat they wouldn't. Sesshoumaru might go into bloodlust if Kagome bedded another male because of her heat. Fusha was probably thinking that once Kagome was gone to comfort Sesshoumaru and trick him into marking her. It might have worked if she wasn't going to send word back to Kagome once she arrived and tell her Fusha was coming up with nasty ways to kill her and to get rid of her before Fusha killed her sister.

Looking ahead of her she knew she'd like this village. She never told anyone but she liked the village of High Stone. It was her well-kept secret and she was going to keep it that way. She could see a ningen standing at the entrance; he had silver hair, gold eyes and looked like Sesshoumaru expect wasn't he supposed to be hanyou? She didn't know but right now she didn't care.

"Hey you must be Kikyo; I'm Inuyasha," the male said running forward and watched as Kikyo turned to Fusha. They glared at each other and he felt the tense rise. Not wanting to be apart of it he kept his distance but enough so he could hear what the were saying to one another. He knew Fusha because his brother had considered her his possible mate around the time his mother died. However the female couldn't see the best thing that ever graced her bed and fucked another while his brother was away. He tried to tell his brother many times Fusha was unfaithful but Sesshoumaru wouldn't have anyone talking bad about his woman well until he found out the hard truth.

"Stay away from my sister, Fusha," Kikyo growled claws rose with Dakkasou dripping from the tips. She glared at the female and watched as her face turned hard. Fusha tightened her jaw and glared. Kikyo knew she wasn't as strong as Kagome but she was damn near close so she sent out her full aura wrapping it around Fusha and watching as the female paled.

"Sesshoumaru is mine; I will not back down, because your whore of a sister wants him," Fusha snarled. She might have been one of the many different types of youkai in Sesshoumaru's ranks but she knew inuyoukai well. Being a tiger youkai she should hate inu's but she found herself drawn to them.

"My sister is a virgin… therefore you are the whore," Kikyo snarled through clenched fangs. "That's right Fusha I heard from some of the other servants and ranking men that you betrayed Sesshoumaru. At one time he loved you but you loved another and didn't tell him that it was over. You have no claim and deserve no one."

"You bitch," Fusha fumed as she lunged at Kikyo. She never made her blow because Kikyo sent forth her Dakkasou making it shot from her claws at such speed to shot straightforward. Fusha growled in pain as she swiped at the blurry image of Kikyo however the inuyoukai was to fast.

Kikyo got behind Fusha and within one swipe of her claws the tigers head came clean off. She smirked in satisfaction as Inuyasha approached her.

"What was that all 'bout?" Inuyasha asked as Kikyo got rid of Fusha's remains by melting it. Afterward there was nothing but green goo.

"My sister Kagome is Sesshoumaru chosen and Fusha did not like that. I told her to stay away from Kagome she wouldn't and I killed her. Do have someone who could deliver a message for me?" Kikyo asked. She liked this male and felt her heart swell when he grabbed her hand saying, "Yeah 'course there is!"

Inuyasha smiled at the inuyoukai behind him and began the journey toward a hut. Once inside he gave her a scroll, quill and an inkbottle. After she was done he took the letter and went to tell the message boy where to take it. It would be there by sundown and he nodded before returning to Kikyo.

"So tell me 'bout yourself Kikyo," Inuyasha said kindly as he walked back inside his hut. He really liked this female because she reminded of his Mika. Though he knew Mika was dead and wouldn't be returning he thought of her often. He felt though that this female would fill the void in his heart; the part Mika once held.

oOo

"It's getting close to sundown do you think she made it?" Kagome asked looking over at Sesshoumaru. He had told her she would sleep in his bed until he fought her. Since she told him not until I get that letter he decided to wait till tomorrow before issuing a battle between them.

"Hai you must be patient little butterfly," Sesshoumaru replied. He knew she was worried for her sister but it was dusk and he was having a hard time not saying we fight now and here.

His beast wasn't helping either.

It whined pitifully telling him to just fight her already. It wanted her if a bigger passion then he did. Damn the beast made his hard-ons grow more then it's supposed to, or he had thought. He had never been so painfully aroused and now he was. Watching her move around as fast as she was wasn't helping him any.

A knock was heard at the door and before he could reach it Kagome was already there. She opened the door to reveal a small youkai holding a letter in his hands. Kagome grabbed it, thanked him, and sent him back with one breath. Afterward she began reading it and her eyes widened before she handed it to Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru read over the letter and nodded when it said Kikyo had killed Fusha and why. It said that Fusha had some dumb idea of letting a male besides him get near Kagome during mating season because that was the only time the rites didn't work. Then she would hope that the male would mark Kagome thus sending him into a bloodlust hopefully not just killing the male who marked her but her was well. Ha… he couldn't be mad at that and decided he would let it drop even though she killed one of his top fighters. Fusha wasn't such a loss when he had Kagome.

"There see she is fine," Sesshoumaru said holding it out. He looked out the window and decided now would be a good time to fight her. "Come, little butterfly, we fight for the rite to mate you now."

Kagome glanced at him and sighed. "Let me change, onegai," she said not wanting to fight in a female kimono. He shook his head no and she rolled her eyes. Then it hit her when the rites were enforced you weren't allowed to do anything but find the perfect spot and fight. Sighing she jumped out the window and into the courtyard, growling playfully when Sesshoumaru landed across from her. She heard him growl back before she lunged at him claws extended.
