Yay! Finally, an update from me! I'm not dead; I'm just … busy with school work and stuff. But uh… I posted this! For you guys. So be happy. Sorry to disappoint, but since I know nothing about Japanese marriage thingys, I'm just going to make it up as I go along. Besides, they're youkai anyways… right?
In this chapter, there will be chapters with names that are in the manga. Don't worry too much over it. You can either view it as their incarnations or just another person. They're not really related at all. Speaking of names, I gave Inutaisho the name "Kishin". Supposedly, it means "fierce god". Hey. He is fierce. And he is a god. So it works out well.
And for those who were confused at the beginning: this whole story is a flashback, starting from chapter 3. I thought the 450 years ago… was a big enough hint. Oh wells. Maybe I wasn't being clear enough. THIS WHOLE STORY IS A FLASHBACK.
Also, this chapter contains some citrus-y parts… so if you are underage, please don't read! There's reason why the rating is in place. Also, it will be unmarked. So, don't report me or anything. It's really not that citrus-y anyways. I held back because I noticed that a lot of people got banned/whatever from for that.
Ok. Just a refresher. Please read this part, because it might become confusing after a while.
Italics means thinking
Bold means emphasis
" " means speech
' ' means their inner youkai talking

OooOooOooOooOooO
Awkward silence filled the simply decorated conference room. Sesshoumaru was shocked that the inuyoukai bitch in front of him could not tell that he was male. This bitch was stupid enough to not use her nose! Red began to slowly seep into the corners of his eyes when Naraku cleared his throat. "Lord Sesshoumaru, are you satisfied with the deal?" Sesshoumaru pretended to have not heard the duke. However, Naraku asked again and Sesshoumaru could only nod and quickly, he left the conference room. He didn't trust how he would've reacted if he stayed in that room a moment longer.
While Sesshoumaru was stalking back into his study, he heard a slap echoing throughout the halls of his castle. He paused, and with a small shrug, continued on his way. That bitch had it coming, he thought as he continued his way towards his study to cool his temper off.
OooOooOooOooOooO
"Are you stupid? Of course that was Lord Sesshoumaru. God, are you that dense? Don't make me beat you anymore Kagome," threatened Naraku. Tears started to well up into the corners of the beautiful Kagome's eyes while her snow white hand covered the angry red mark on her flawless face. She had truly thought that that it was a female inuyoukai standing before her. However, now that she thought about it, it was stupid of her to presume that Sesshoumaru was a female when there were swords hanging by his yellow and blue obi.
"I'm sorry, father! I'm really sorry! I promise you, this won't happen again!" cried Kagome. She quickly reached over to her father, hoping to comfort and to reassure him that nothing would go wrong with the deal. Her whole family depended on her mating with the Lord of the Western Lands.
"It had better not, Kagome," and with that indirect threat, Naraku turned around smoothly and quickly he dislodged himself from Kagome with disgust written all over his pale face. Kagome could only watch sadly as her father left her in the empty conference room before breaking down and bawling her beautiful golden brown eyes out. She knew not to cry in front of her father; after all, it would be perceived as weakness in his eyes.
OooOooOooOooOooO
Finally, all of Kagome's belongings have been moved into Sesshoumaru's massive castle. Her big and luxurious bedroom was located next to Sesshoumaru's own private bedchamber. Over the next few days, Kagome wondered all over the palace to different places; she now knew where the bath house was, the lounge area, the dining room… and, of course, Sesshoumaru's study, the place where he resided the most.
During her stay here, Kagome had befriended one of the servant girls named Sango. Sango was an inuyoukai just like herself. However, where as Kagome had two blue stripes just like Sesshoumaru's magenta ones, Sango only had one. Sango's hair is also like Kagome's, long and wavy black, like black waves washing down her back. Sango's personality, however, was a little different than Kagome's. Sango was more timid and quiet; Kagome, on the other hand, loved to go outside and was more extroverted.
Sesshoumaru first gave Sango to Kagome when he found out that Kagome never had her own personal maid. When Kagome went to choose her maid, most of them glared at her because she was to be the future Lady of the Western Lands, thus destroying any hopes of their lord's affections. However, Sango was the only one that didn't glare at Kagome and so, Kagome took Sango as her own maid.
OooOooOooOooOooO
In a few days' time, the mating ceremony, where it is tradition for the male to chase the female through the forest and then claiming her in the wild, would be held, just like their ancestors had done before. The woods would then be closed to the public on the penalty of death for interrupting the mating of a taiyoukai and his mate.
However, before the chase would begin, the bitch's father must present the male with a prized possession from his family, and in Kagome's case, the Shikon no Tama. The jewel was said to have the power to grant the beholder a wish. However, by making a selfish wish on the jewel, the wish would then be twisted and bad luck would befall on the beholder. Only a pure, selfless wish can purge the jewel of any evil. Kagome had no idea how her father came across that silly little trinket. After all, there is nothing in this world that can grant youkai and human wishes that easily… is there?
Sesshoumaru, in no sense whatsoever, was interested in the damned jewel. The number of humans and youkai that died fighting for that jewel was enormous, and Sesshoumaru was not interested in becoming a part of statistics. He had thought about refusing the jewel from Naraku, but that would damage his reputation. So, the only thing Sesshoumaru can do was to accept it and then try to get rid of it as soon as possible. Sesshoumaru had no doubts that Naraku went through a lot of dark dealings before he got his hands on the jewel. But why give it to him, Sesshoumaru, when Naraku could've just made the wish in the first place?
OooOooOooOooOooO
Finally, the big day has arrived for two of the most powerful youkai in all of Japan. One was filled with anxiety and stress; the other, appeared to be very indifferent and… bored.
Decorations were hung up all over the Western Castle. The outer walls of the castle had been scrubbed down by servants, the interior was decorated with lanterns and every door frame was wrapped in beautiful silk. Servants woke up early in the breezy morning to start preparing the feast that would take place later on in the day, when the taiyoukai and the bitch retire into their forest retreat (AN: retreat: a place of privacy and quietness, not the other meaning).
The servants were not the only ones that were busy around the castle. Other noblemen and ladies were also getting ready for the celebration that will be held in honour of Lord Sesshoumaru and Duchess Kagome tonight. The males were busy trying to look their best, hoping that their attire might catch the eye of certain females. The females were going all out with their dresses and gowns and jewelry, hoping to outshine all the other females that will be present at the celebration party.
The ritual called for the lord to pick three of his best men to aid him to hold back the three females bitches that would try to hold the taiyoukai back from finding his intended mate. Because this was not a real fight to the death, but more for entertainment, everyone knew that no one would be getting hurt in the end.
Finally the Hour of the Mating has arrived. All of the Western subjects and guests were invited, including the old Lord of the Western Lands, the legendary Inu-no-Taisho, Kishin. He stood proudly alongside the duke Naraku, who was preparing to give away his beautiful daughter. While waiting for the duchess-soon-to-be-lady to arrive, Kishin tried to make small talk with the inuyoukai next to him to ease his own nervousness.
"So, Naraku-sama, are you excited about today?" Kishin tried to start the conversation. However, Naraku seemed to be ignoring Kishin, so he tried again.
"Must be reminiscing about all those good times with your daughter eh? Yea, they do grow up way too fast… Going to miss her now?" Kishin tried again. This time, he elicited an indifferent reply from Naraku.
"Hmm… that must be it." Seeing how the duke seems to be rather inattentive, Kishin left to talk to his old subjects who were just dying to congratulate him on this perfect union.
OooOooOooOooOooO
Kagome sat nervously in front of her dresser while the servants busily bustled around her. Some were fixing her kimono, ruffling it this way and that way. Others were fixing her hair, arguing whether to do it up or half down or all down. Kagome sighed. She saw no reason to have an elaborate wedding kimono and beautiful hair style. After all, a little while into the ceremony, she would be running for her life in the forest, so to speak. And then a little while after that, she'll be caught and ravaged in the forest… her cheeks flushed red at that indecent thought. Suddenly, Kagome was interrupted by her inner inu's purring. 'Our lord is a very handsome and tall male inu… his long silver hair and his piercing gold eyes…' Then all of a sudden, pictures of what Sesshoumaru might look like naked flashed before her eyes. Kagome blushed further. Oh gods, I must be as red as my kimono right now…why must I be the one that is trapped with a pervert in my mind?
After a while, all the servants left Kagome's room and Sango was the only one left. Sango slowly approached her mistress. "Duchess… it's time to go," Sango gently persuaded. Actually they were already late, but Sango just didn't have to heart to rush her lady into anything. The duchess looked so confused and lost sitting at the dressing table. However, it was time and Sango was sure that the taiyoukai was getting impatient with all the waiting, so Sango tried again.
"Mistress…"
Kagome sighed. She wasn't sure if she really wanted to be mated to anyone right now. She knew that this mating was supposed to help her clan in some way, but she didn't understand how this would help. And it's not like father doesn't have enough soldiers to guard the castle already… All this thinking was seriously hurting her head. So she sighed again and resigned to her fate. "I know Sango, I know. I'm ready," Kagome answered, though still a bit uncertain.
The maid then escorted her lady into the open courtyard where the ceremony was being held.
OooOooOooOooOooO
"…thy Gods as witness and thy spirits as witness, on this wonderful day…" the priest from the nearby Buddhist temple droned on. It really was a beautiful day. Kagome was standing anxiously across from Sesshoumaru and she was nervous. Standing a bit away from Sesshoumaru, Kagome could see Lord Kishin tried hard to stifle a yawn that was threatening to come out. When she first arrived at the courtyard, she was stunned at the number of youkai and humans present. Then she was surprised again at how good Sesshoumaru looked in a wedding kimono. Of course, this gave her inu more opportunities to show her what it thought Sesshoumaru would look like with no clothes on. And now, she was still stunned at how good he looked. At last, the boring priest finished off his rambling with a few chants and them he stepped off the platform to let Kishin have a few words.
"Dear friends, family, and honored guests, thank you for attending this holy union between my son Lord Sesshoumaru and the duchess Kagome. Refreshments and the feast will be taking place inside the castle in the dining hall. Please make your way there as soon as my son Sesshoumaru runs after his beautiful bride, lest you forfeit your life." At this statement, some of the older mated nobles laughed knowingly and merrily while the younger unmated youkai and humans paled.
Kishin nodded to the females to let Kagome go. Without any hesitations, Kagome transformed into her true form, an impressive midnight black inuyoukai with two blue stripes on her cheeks, and then she was gone, hidden within the thick forest.
Kishin walked over to Sesshoumaru and grasped his forearm, and thus, invaded Sesshoumaru's mind. Quickly, Kishin was able to find Sesshoumaru's beast inside his mind, barely being contained within his steel bindings. Kishin walked up to the beast that was his son's counter part and whispered the word that the beast had been waiting for since the first time it had gone into heat.
Eros, Kishin whispered against the beast's ear. All at once, the steel bindings dissolved and the beast sprung forth, quickly taking over the rational part of the mind. Kishin left Sesshoumaru's mind swiftly and took a step back. Before Kishin was Sesshoumaru's true form, a ferocious looking white inu with magenta stripes and a blue crescent moon. The white inu gave a mighty roar of freedom before starting a hurried pace after his chosen bitch. However, he was quickly stopped by three female inu that blocked his way. Growling a command at his chosen youkai, they all transformed and one by one, pinned down the obstructing females. The white inu growled his approval before sprinting into the thick forest to find his bitch.
Kishin sighed happily and after a moment of gazing gleefully into the forest, turned to his guests. "Alright, people, nothing else to see! Move along now!"
OooOooOooOooOooO
Kagome sped through the thick forest. A while back, a thunderous roar signaled her lord's beast's revival and it had frightened her out of her hiding place. Currently, she was running throughout the dense forest, trying to blanket the air with her scent as to confuse the taiyoukai and to prolong her eventual rendezvous with Sesshoumaru. Kagome ultimately returned to her hiding place once again, a huge underground cave with a small entrance that is partially covered by some small low bushes. The cave was so big that probably even Sesshoumaru in his true form could stand up on his hind legs and jump around.
Kagome covered the entrance with more twigs and branches before retiring to the back of the cave. If a male could not find her in a forest, then he is not worthy of becoming her mate.
OooOooOooOooOooO
The beast that was Sesshoumaru raced around the forest, following his bitch's scent. Hmm, that girl is smart in trying to confuse this Sesshoumaru's beast by covering the whole forest with her scent, Sesshoumaru mused in the back of his mind. His blood beast calmed itself before asking Sesshoumaru for help to locate its chosen mate.
Do not worry, pup. I'll help you figure this out. This Sesshoumaru also desires the girl, The beast whined at Sesshoumaru's choice of nickname but nevertheless, allowed its master to continue. Quickly, Sesshoumaru summarized that the girl was probably hiding and asked his beast to check out all the caves within the forest. The beast sprinted to all the locations of the caves it knew were hidden within the vast woodland. Finally, it reached one where it thought the cave looked different.
Different? Probably the girl's hiding in it. Get in there! commanded Sesshoumaru. The beast ripped through the obstructing branches and twigs before starting to dig a wider passage way to accommodate for its size. The further down the beast went, the stronger its chosen's scent was. That drove the beast into a frenzy; the bitch was so close, yet she was still out of sight. This motivated the beast to dig faster.
At last, it reached the end of the tunnel and leaped into the grand open space. However, the bitch was nowhere to be found. What the… was this another trick? However, Sesshoumaru's question was quickly answered when he saw a black thing ran up the tunnel out of the corner of his eye. Rushing after the black matter, Sesshoumaru emerged out of the tunnel to see his chosen one not far ahead, desperately trying to escape from his sight unnoticed.
Sesshoumaru chased furiously after the female until he had her backed into a rock face; she had nowhere else to go except up and even Sesshoumaru concluded that he himself could not jump that height. Reacting like any cornered animal would, Kagome drew her lips back and issued a warning growl. Sesshoumaru, in turn, growled back without any hesitation. Without any warnings, Kagome leaped up and aimed for Sesshoumaru's throat. Sesshoumaru quickly turned to his left and tried to knock Kagome off balance by side swiping her with his right paw. However, Sesshoumaru miscalculated Kagome's true intentions and assumed that she was foolish enough to aim for his throat when all the time her target had been his hind legs.
It was too late to turn right to face Kagome, as that would leave Sesshoumaru with a bloody muzzle from her vicious bite, so the taiyoukai did a very un-canine thing; the Western Lord kicked up his hind legs, hoping to scratch Kagome across her muzzle. True to his aim, the scent of the female's blood quickly filled the small clearing that they were currently fighting in. However, he also sported four long and deep gashes on both of his thighs and legs from Kagome trying to hold onto him before he literally kicked her in the face.
Ignoring the stinging sensation from his wounds, Sesshoumaru limped slowly over to where he kicked Kagome to. She lay down and was slowly licking her various wounds that the youkai lord inflict onto her person. The slow and sensuous licking was slowly turning both Sesshoumaru and his beast on.
Keeping quiet, the huge white inu crept up to where the black inu was lying. Without any warning, Sesshoumaru jumped onto Kagome's back and bit into the scuff of her neck, making her submit to him. Kagome struggled and tried to throw the heavier inu off of her back; he was slowly crushing her and pinning her down to the ground. Struggling to no avail, and finally whimpered, the female indicated her submission to the stronger male.
The taiyoukai's beast was beside itself in joy. Its chosen female just consented to its mating. Kagome slightly lowered her upper body to the ground, rendering her behind up in the air. Sesshoumaru finally let go of her neck and started to sniff around her back, checking to see if she was ready to receive him. He gave her opening a few licks before deeming her ready for their activity. Gracefully, he mounted onto her back, almost like how he was when he was holding onto the scuff of her neck, and positioned himself. Without any hesitation, he thrust into her, making the female below him whimpered out loud. However, because he was in his true form, he could offer no comfort to ease her pain except with the promise that he was pleasure her to no end. Again and again, he thrust into her, drawing him and her both closer to their completion. Before long, the black inu gave a small whimper to signify her finish. With a final thrust, the demon lord tilted his head upward and gave a long howl to tell the world of his conquest.
After dislodging himself from his mate, Sesshoumaru curled up behind Kagome and the both of them drifted off to sleep, still in their magnificent true forms.
OooOooOooOooOooO
Kishin was chatting with an ookami youkai from the northern part of his lands when a thunderous howl was heard echoing throughout the western lands. Many male youkai grinned and loudly congratulated the western lord on finally getting a mate while almost all of the females blushed at the implication of the howl.
Naraku sat near the back of the dining hall, sipping a cup of hot sake. Phase One of my plan has been completed. Now for Phase Two. Things are rather going well, he mused to himself while sporting a wide grin. A voluptuous female kitsune walked by and gave the duke a once over. Getting off of his seat with a little difficulty due to his hard on, he followed the seducing kitsune to engage in some activities of his own. Naraku smirked to himself once more. Yes, things are going rather well indeed.

BFA: Whoa. Longest chapter so far. Clocking at 3600 words. Oh yea. For those that doesn't know. Eros means lust, sex, arousal, etc. you know, along those lines. I just thought I would be a fitting word for such an occasion. Please review! I would like to know whether I'm doing well or not. As much as I like to write this, I also would like to know if I'm improving my writing. Maybe now I won't do so badly on my in-class essays…
Oh yea. Please check out my main page on There are previews up of future fics. Very nice sneak peeks.
