BEFORE THE "EVENT"!

A knock echoed throughout the room as two passionate "lovers" made out in a small deep blue room. He was whipping her clothes off faster than any human could do so. Inuyasha was fully enjoying the submissiveness of Kikyou, as she spread her legs apart, admitting his hardened member to press in through her abused walls. She cringed as he aggresivly moved in and out. She squeeled in more pain than in pleasure, as his hands roughly pulled and scratched at her exposed breasts. She closed her eyes as she felt it coming. That wanting feeling of release. She imagined it would be so much better alive. That all of this pain was pleasing, that his ministrations were in fact pleasing, and making her crave more and more. But this intimate relationship she shared with Inuyasha was unsatisfying, and she could only hope it would come to end sooner than latter.

Just as he was about to release, She pushed him away as the knock once again pulled her from her thoughts. She put on a robe hastily, allowed Inuyasha to storm off angrily, and then sighed as she saw a servant at the door. He would be leaving soon then.

"Mistress Kagome has asked me to report that the banquet will be beginning in an hour's time." she bowed deeply and scurried away hastily.

Kikyou sighed and went to find Inuyasha. "Inu-chan. THe banquet is to begin within an hour, and you dont want to be late. I'll run you a bath as you get your clothes ready."

"No," he growled deeply latching his hands to her waist. He kissed her neck. Repulsed at this, she pulled away and turned to him.

"there is no time my love. We must get ready. I do not want to look bad because my lover was to passionate about me..." She giggled, feigning love for him.

"Very well. Later than." He ran off to the wardrobe and then bathed.

AN HOUR LATER:

Knock. Knock. The sound once again resounded through out the room. Kikyou sighed in relief. Opening up the door she was once again glad to see the servant girl.

"It is time Milady." She bowed and then left once again.

Inuyasha came out just as the door was closing. "How do I look?"

"Wonderful my darling."

"Why are you not dressed?"

" I will not be attending this feast. It is not appropriete. Do not worry, i shall remain here as you are gone."

"But i wanted you to come with me! I cant go alone!" he yelled in anger.

"Yes you can. And you wont be. Miroku is taking Sango. You can go with them."

"And watch as he takes advantage of the night? No. YOU MUST COME!"

"No. I refuse to. You must go and make ammends with my other half. You must do this, or we will never gain back my soul! We must weaken her and make her believe that you are still her true love. Please, do it for me Inuyasha."

He growled and turned away, walking towards the door. "You owe me."

She nodded silently as the door slammed.

Muttering his way down the hall, cursing all women, he made his way to a servant with sake as he came upon the party. He drank two small glasses before siting and awaiting the arrival of his rival and his "lover".

In tribute to his anger for Kikyou and Kagome, he soon found himself toasting them to hell within the confines of his mind. Soon after her arrival, and lusting for her, he found himself drunk. Kagome became Kikyou all too quickly for him, and he soon found himself followig her out to the balcony. He made a quick ruckus within the room, and then proceeded to attend to "Kikyou" out on the viranda.

After the incident on the balcony, no one was left in a mood wanting of a celebration. Seshoumaru least of all, since Kagome was unconcious.

"Reurn to your rooms please. Our celebration shall continue tomorrow night. If you need anything at all please call for a servant of the house and they shall accamodate you to the best of their abilities. Thank you for joining us on t his joyous occasion." He walked up to the nearest guard and whispered to him. "Please take the half breed to the door. If he is still unconcious please wake him and get Kikyou, she should be in their room, and push her out the door with him. I never wish to see their disgusting faces again. If I do, I shall kill them. You may tell them I said that." Keeping a face of complete calm, he stepped away and proceeded through the parting crowd to the top of the stair case. After making his bow of dismissil he allowed the doors to open before him and then proceeded to make his way to their shared room.

After having found his way there he placed her on the satin sheets that adorned the bed, And then stepped away to his wardrobe. He undressed himself and then got into something simple and comfortable. As he turned to face Kagome, he saw that she was stirring. He smiled sweetly at her beauty and then walked to the window to allow the moons rays to touch upon her smooth silk skin. She tossed and turned harder, her growls of pain and hatred permeated the air. He flinched in reaction to it's scent and then used his demon speed to make it to her side. He leaned down over her and kissed her lips. Immediatly a struggle broke out underneath him. He pulled away as she punched and scratched at him Her eyes were wide open now, and her silver blue orbs were gone. Blood red eyes glared back at him, and the for the first time he was afraid. Power and strength radiated throughout her aura, and it was perfected within the depths of her clouded eyes. She was still unconcious, or at least her mind was. Her demon body was reacting to the touch of a man, and it was definatly a bad reaction. She growled out at him, her fangs bared, and he unknowingly stepped back. As he noticed this he made a step closer and she growled as she slashed out at him while trying to press herself up against the headboard of the bed. She was in an animalistic stance that probably made her feel safer. It was a stance that he had often took as a child while learningto control his demon anger.

She pushed further and further against the wall as he tried to come nearer. At one point he saw the pure terror in her eyes, and immediatly he stopped his assult. he never imagined that she would ever look at him like that again. He was hurt that she would ever do so again, and then he remembered what his "brother" had done to her. Thanks to him, he could no longer get close to his mate. He would not be able to touch her. Did he know what that could do to a man? Especially one so in love with a woman he was willing to spend the rest of his life with if it wasn't taken while protecting her!

He growled in annoyance and she launched foreward as claws extended before her, aiming for his face. He caught her wrists and held them tight as he calmed his features. Her anger subsided as she stared up into his sun kissed eyes. Her features noticably changed as she took note of the emotion that was openly viewed in his eyes. Lust was not there. At least not the lust that INuyasha had shown in his. No. It was a different kind. The kind where he lusted after HER, not her BODY. The passion that wished to possess all partsof her, not her body, but also her mind soul, heart and spirit. Desperation and... love? The last one almost whispered in her mind. It echoed there for awhile and it clicked. Love. It was the emotion that had first bloomed in her heart for INuyasha, but was killed with his heart breaking blow. It was what had replaced her fear for the person that now held her. She could not tell who it was. Her mind was shrouded in a grey haze that she desperatly wished to break free of.

As he noticed that she had stopped struggling he loosened his grip on her and hoped that he had his Kagome back. The attack on her today was something not many could get over easily, but he knew she would. She was the strongest person in both mind and body he had ever known. Even if the odds were against her he knew that she would overrule them. And he was glad that she seemed to be calming so quickly. He hoped this was a sign that their love could last through any attack.

The red in her glowing eyes reseded slowly as she reached her hands up to caress his soft skin. He closed his eyes and then opened them before bending down slightly to capture her lips in his own. He suckled them sweetly and allowed his hands to hold her to him. They snakd aroun her waist and waited fer her reaction to him.

She was hesitant at first, and then she was passionate, pushing up into him, and allowing him to become more aggresive. Her now silver-blue eyes closed, love, lust, and utter pleasure sparkled there before they did so. Surprised at her aggresive and acceping recognition, he kissed her deeper, allowing their tongues to battle it out as his arms lifted her up and spun her around. However the joy at having her back was short lived as he quickly became aware of the taste of INuyasha. He pulled away and growled. She opened her eyes and stared up at him innocently and sad, about to cry from hurt of his rejection. His eyes noted this and immediatly moved to sooth her.

"Inuyasha," he growled as he pressed against her buttocks, pushing her core against his groin, moaning as she felt her heat. She blushed and pulled away.

" I am so sorry."

"Dont apologize for that bastard."

"I- I just... I'm sorry i couldnt protect myself! I'm sorry I'm so much of a burden. I'm not worthy of you... Thank you for everything!" She pulled away and bowed low in respect for him, admitting submission.

He yanked her up roughly and then once agai brought lips to lips. He pressed her up against the nearest wall and allowed his hands to roam her body freely. He yanked his robe from her body and pulled his lips away, allowing them to trail down her neck to the beautiful cleavage left open to his eyes and mouth. She arched up into him, allowing her slim fingers to brush through his thick strands of silver hair. She pressed him hard against her, and she pushed her chest out to him as fangs grazed against soft blushing flesh. She moaned allowed as he licked at the small droplets that poured from the marks. He pulled away unwillingly, and groaned.

"Bath now..."

She nodded and pulled away, swaying her hips as she walked towards the private bath chambers of their room.
