Author's Corner- I'm so sorry for the long wait for the update. dodges plates and forks thrown in her direction Please enjoy this extra long, and extra suspense filled chapter full of answers and beating up of InuYasha. (If you guys haven't noticed I do have another story that has the InuYasha and Kagome pairing, so I don't technically hate the guy. Just when he's an idiot.)

I'll be having a new story put on the internet called The Moonlight Shine's. It's a InuYasha X Kagome pairing. Also with some Miroku and Sango involved. It has InuYasha as an angel almost and has to protect Kagome and keep her away from guys to make her become suicidal and go to the heaven to get more recruits. But he falls in love (of course) and yada yada yada... etc. etc.

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, Sesshomaru, or any other character. Darn.

Warning: InuYasha beating up, Kagome almost being rapped, and a heck of a lot more stuff.

Have fun! .

Chapter- 9

The light in the room had seemed to dull when the evil figure had entered. Kagome could feel her heart fluttering, not in excitement or love but in fear of what was to happen. She couldn't stop it and Sesshomaru would stand there watching it all without a way of stopping the maniac in front of them.

That wasn't the worst part. Kagome could stand anything that InuYasha could pass her way, it was what Sesshomaru would feel. The way he would look at her afterwards. Kagome shut her eyes against the thought a slight shiver running through her whole body. He would never hold her as his closest friend again. She would be stained for the rest of her life.

"Now my dear... Would you kindly remove her shirt and all other clothes." InuYasha stated towards her with his perverted grin still in place. "I know that in some minutes Naraku will be back with the whole servant squad behind him and... well... I really don't want to deal with that."

Kagome could feel the tears falling down her face as her eyes shone with the horror of what was to take place.

"Kagome!" Sesshomaru yelled to her. Kagome began to move her head to glance at him with a silent appeal to please turn away and to love her anyway, but she remained drawn away from him. Her face remained kept away from his searching eyes.

'If this is to happen, then so be it... I will stand with my pride in my eyes and not let myself be turned toward Sesshomaru. Because I know if I look at him, I will burst out in tears and no pride will remain.'

Kagome took a deep breath and brought her eyes to InuYasha's as she brought her hands to her shirt to lift it above her head. InuYasha's breath began to come in short groans as her skin began to show more and more, second by second. And yet she paid no attention to him and she shook out of her head Sesshomaru's voice in the background yelling and pleading with her to please stop. That he would rescue her.

No, what she thought of was something entirely different. She took away InuYasha's rough moans and replaced them with moans of a different man. She pretended that his face was not in front of her or that his vile hands touched her exposed breasts. No, what she thought of was a perfect man that she had never had. A man that she had wanted to share this with. A man that she could love and he love her.

A gasp escaped her when in her mind's eye the picture began to transform into someone she thought would never be there. Someone that would only stay as a friend in her eyes. Someone that she had never begun to think in that way, Had she?

Sesshomaru.

Instead of InuYasha hanging over her and pushing her pants away from her body was Sesshomaru, lovingly removing them from her with passion shaking hands. His eyes full of confusion for the love he felt towards her. Instead of InuYasha grasping her hair roughly to bring tears to her eyes there was Sesshomaru tenderly brushing though her hair with his now long nailed fingers.

No InuYasha, Just Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru! No black haired sloth, A sparkling silver haired merman. No disgusting mouthed human, a knight with a tail and strange eyes. No evil, just happiness and love. Love for her.

Now Kagome did cry for she could feel Sesshomaru's stare penetrating through her back with anger at her cowardice.

And then she heard something that made her heart stop and bring fresh tears to the surface.

"You whore. How could you allow me to do this to your body? Are you really that naive?" InuYasha whispered roughly against her ear, laughing in delight at the growls Sesshomaru was making behind them.

"Now nobody will want you!"

InuYasha began to laugh hysterically at her when he thought he heard her speak. Yet of course he couldn't understand what she said and brushed it aside and yet he could hear her growling at him. Sesshomaru on the other hand could understand perfectly what she was saying and chuckled at it.

"I'm not the whore, you are! I can't stand you and I want you away from me... NOW!" And with that Kagome threw her weight against InuYasha and threw him away from her. Him hitting the wall behind him.

'That's my girl...' Sesshomaru thought quickly without any other thought to it. 'WAIT! What? No of course not... Sesshomaru, you got to get more sleep at night...'

Kagome felt such relief and she turned to Sesshomaru, but during her slight show of bravery they had both forgotten one important thing... her slight nakedness. But now it all came rushing back and Kagome stood there with a blush rising in her cheeks and Sesshomaru could feel his own blush surfacing as his eyes began to drift down to where her hands covered her breasts and woman hood.

"SESSHOMARU! STOP THAT!" Kagome yelled tightly at him when she saw where his eyes wandered. And with that, Sesshomaru jerked his head back up to her face.

"Sorry..." He muttered as he saw her angry expression.

"Whatever..." She said quietly back, looking around her to find where her shredded clothes were and if any were savable. Seeing that there was only half of her shirt left and her panties, she quickly became quite mad at the InuYasha now dozing by the wall.

'Oh well...'

Soon after she had gotten on her shirt a banging came to the door and Kagome groaned.

"Kagome! Sesshomaru! Where is InuYasha? Did he hurt my poor experiments?"

Kagome rolled her eyes at Sesshomaru and he laughed loudly at her expression of what she thought of what Naraku said.

He couldn't even understand them so why bother asking them anything.

Kagome was walking calmly past InuYasha and to the water's edge when a burning sensation began to travel up her legs and to her waist.

"What?"

But as she was about to turn and ask Sesshomaru what was happening to her a great pain shoot up her spine and she doubled over to the ground.

"Kagome! What's the matter? Why are you laying there?" Sesshomaru's voice sounded right next to her in the water.

'What's happening to me? Why do I feel this way?'

Kagome felt the pain begin to pulse deeper into herself and she screamed with the pain.

"SESSHOMARU! HELP ME!" She cried to him and he finally understood what was happening to her. She was changing.

'I have to get her to water... she might dry out up there... and no telling what Inurapper could do to her.'

"Kagome... I want you to crawl towards me... can you do that?" He asked her with fear in his voice. Kagome could barely understand him because of the pain but she gently nodded her head.

"I... can... try..."

Her stiff body began moving towards the pools edge and although her sight was a little fuzzy around the side she could still see enough to make the shapes out. Kagome now knew what was happening to her and she could barely surpres her horror of it.

She would be a monster and then what she do, what would she be? Nothing at all. No one would love her.

Her agony increased and she fell down in a heap right against the waters edge and though she could barely see herself she could tell that her eyes had now become a deep indigo in color and her hair had now become all blue with streaks of black in it. Her arms were right in front of her face and she could see that, just like Sesshomaru, she had developed a fin on her arm although her's was a bit smaller and didn't travel all the way up.

Sesshomaru watched her agony from the water and could feel the waves of frustration roll upon him, because he could not help her. He couldn't take this fear away from her.

Kagome whimpered softly as the pain came again and she felt her lower body begin to shape into other shapes that she didn't dare watch all though Sesshomaru did.

In a brief second all the pain was gone and Kagome felt a sense of dryness come over her and slowly lifted her head to look at Sesshomaru hoping not to see disgust and yet when she looked up to him all she saw was Sesshomaru looking at her with his usually mask in it's place and as she began to think that even he thought her a monster. More of a monster then him he gently lifted her from the cement and smiled into her eyes.

"Welcome to the dark side, little Kag."

Kagome felt her fears die away as she watched his smile come and go and felt his hold on her. He would never let her go, he would never see her as a monster. And so when he finally did drop her in the water and with a splash she finally got a good look at her full self.

Her scales shined a pearly white with just a glow of light blue and when she looked closely behind her she could see a fin run along her spine and merge with her bottom tail. Her bottom tail was of the like, like the Disney mermaid, ariel. But it was pearly white, and her fins had a bit ruffle along the edge.

She must say that she didn't look half bad, at least she thought so but... what if she really did look terrible and frightening. A grin began to play on her mouth and she turned to Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru, do you think I look pretty this way?" She asked in a soft husky voice full of promise. And Sesshomaru became still in a flash, the only thing moving was his tail and it seemed to speed up. As she listened carefully she could almost hear a groan come from his throat.

'Hmmmm...'

Sesshomaru turned to her and with a audible gulp took her in. She was very pretty, no pretty didn't even cut it she was gorgeous. No, she was beautiful.

"Um... you look fine. No terrible teeth or anything." He quickly muttered to her. 'Smooth Sesshomaru.'

"Oh..." Kagome said, sounding let down and yet she could see Sesshomaru's face full red before he turned it away.

'What's this?' Kagome smirked again, 'Oh, this is good...'

"Sesshomaru..." Kagome began with her husky voice again and yet this time she added a moan to the end. "I feel so aroused around you. I want to feel you in me and I want to feel your lips on me." Kagome groaned again as she moved closer to Sesshomaru. He hadn't turned around yet but Kagome could see his shoulders working with his intake of breaths and exhales of moans.

"Please... SESSHOMARU!" She moaned again and she rubbed herself against his back. She was about to start another session of her little game with him when he suddenly turned around to her with brightly shining eyes. Kagome gapped at what she saw, not understanding at all and yet she knew in the depths of her mind what was on his mind anyway.

'What? Could Sesshomaru really be having some arousal because of me?' Kagome thought with a quick breath as he brought her even closer to himself.

Kagome sucked in a breath of surprise as she felt his arousal against her. 'I'd say that's a yep.'

Sesshomaru began to come closer and closer to her face and he couldn't stop himself, even as he repeated in his head that she was just teasing that he didn't feel this way for her. That the great Sesshomaru didn't feel this for anyone. He was more then any other human. And yet here he was about to kiss her.

His mouth was right next to hers and he felt the last strain of his denials finally leaving him and he breathed out in a rush.

"Kagome..."

She gulped at his emotional voice, never having heard this before and then he bent down fully and his mouth was on hers.

All she could do was stand there for a minute with her hands suspended in the air above his shoulder and her eyes were open to his own.

'What?' She thought stupidly. 'What's happening?'

And then she began to feel something happen with the kiss and she brought her hands down on his shoulders and around his neck and her eyes were closing and she then brought her self forward to deepen the kiss.

A moment later he brought his head away from her and they breathed in much needed gasps of breaths.

Sesshomaru rested his forehead against her own as he felt his heart began to slow down from the arousal. He had never felt anything like that before and yet he wanted it again and again. He had never liked kissing before but he thought he could make a habit of it with Kagome.

Kagome stared back at Sesshomaru with a slightly dumb looking grin on her face and she was about to go back up to his lips for more of the snogging when the door banged open into the room.

Kagome quickly brought herself back to the other side of the pool as Sesshomaru did the same. The mask now back in place.

What had just happened? What in hells name?

But they quickly brought all that from their minds when Sango and Naraku came running into the room with guns at the ready. To shot InuYasha if necessary. But it never happened, and they quickly took one look at the two merbeings and had questions in their eyes, but Kagome nor Sesshomaru would tell them what happened.
