Chapter 16 Family

Kagome slept soundly but woke a number of times in the night to Ryūkotsusei pounding into her. In her heat induced state she had welcomed his actions.

As morning began she rose and carefully pried herself his iron grip. She sat on the edge of the bed, almost in a dazed state. Pulling her arms above her head she stretched until she heard satisfying click. Kagome released a small purr as she felt her mussels pull in pleasant pain. A thought creped into Kagomes mind as she looked around the room 'this isn't Rinas miko hut?' Shifting slightly on the bed she froze solid when she realized where she was and what she had done the night before. 'I've slept with the stuck up dragon! Not only that but I've rutted with a male whilst i was in heat!' Kagome eyes widened as her hands shot to cover her stomach 'I c…cant b..be pre…pregnant?' it was the only out come she could think of. A heat was the female becoming fertile, in inus especially it was almost a hundred percent positive that pups came from a union at such a time. 'I might not be because its not the right time for my heat. I could just be a fake heat or something' kagome thought as she gave a unsettled chuckle. Breathing deep to try and calm her self down she failed to feel arms snake around her waist and take a deep inhale of her sent.

Ryūkotsusei had woken when his little female pulled out of his arms and watched her as she stretched and held then suddenly touch her stomach. Seeing her holding her belly gave him a sence of masculine pride. he hardly believed such a beautiful gem was his and know hopefully carrying his hatchlings.

He had woke many times in the night and scented her not finding any signs of impregnation, so had renewed his efforts. Making sure to release fully into her as many times as possible.

Slowly like a panther Ryūkotsusei crawled over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Burring his nose in her stomach, he inhaled her scent and gave a beaming smile that stretched ear to ear. His little inu was carrying his offspring.

Kagome was pulled from her panic when she looked down to see Ryūkotsusei nuzzling her stomach growling low. His purr like growl was shooting through her and causing heat to start yet again between her legs. Shocked at her bodys reaction she shot to her feet clinging to a gold bed sheet and rapped it around herself.

Ryūkotsusei didn't like the barrier his female was putting between him and his hatchlings so tugged the bed sheet gripped the sheet but ended falling on the bed where Ryūkotsusei straddled her waist and held down her arms.

The dragon lent down to give his bitch a kiss but was stopped when he received a vicious growl and a snap of fangs. Deciding she wasn't worth the trouble at the moment, he bent to her stomach and started to purr again, he could feel his hatchlings aura and sent grow stronger with each passing second. He could tell there was more than one, but couldn't determine a exact number or sex.

He would soon be a father with a family of his own. Thinking of a family brought uncomfortable thoughts to the front of his mind. He had grown up without a real mother or father. They had been in his life but never showed an interest in times he had gone out to hunt by himself and bring back the kill to show his parents. Both mealy looked and his disheveled form and sneered, continuing with what they were doing. His mother never even acknowledged him as her own son, preferring to find a male gaurd to flirt play with.

He scoffed at the memory of wishing his mother would braid his hair like he'd seen the children from the village have there mothers do. Ryūkotsusei could remember his long hair that once reached his waist. He had been forced to cut it short when it had gotten badly tangled in some bushes whilst he was practising stealth in the woods. if only his mother had taken the time to tie his hair back then he never would have had to cut it. Though being a lords son Ryūkotsusei had been bullied for his short hair and messy bangs, long hair among youkai had been a sign of power and care of oneself. It was the bullying that gave him the ditermanation to fight and become stronger so one day he could have any mate he wanted. He remembered picturing the perfect female tending to his hatchlings hair like he never received. ' Kagome will do any thing for our offspring that I'm sure'

His father was the lord of the south and only saw him as a heir never a son to love. Apparently he would have had a brother and two sisters if his mother had not gone mad at their birth and tried to kill them. He had only survived because Ōwatatsumi, his father had grabbed him his eldest son as soon as he was born. Their was no love in their relationship he only just became closer to his father in recent years. Ryūkotsusei knew this was only because he was now of use to his father. Ryūkotsusei was determined to create a loving environment he never had for his children. He had to admit he never planned to have a family especially with a unwilling female. His little inu was a siren, who once he laid eyes on her he knew she was to be his.

Kagome struggle and looked down at the nuzzling male with a glare that she hoped would burn through him. Deciding burning was the best option she let her miko powers flow into her arms.

Ryūkotsusei was torn from his blissful little world of thoughts of a loving family, when his hands stared to burn. With a yelp he let go of her and fell to the floor.

Kagome using the opportunity scrambled to the other side of the bed. Pointing a finger at him and growling with such hatred it made Ryūkotsusei shiver. "what have you done to me?" Ryūkotsusei slowly stood and held his hands up "nothing more than what you wanted. I must say for such a delicate looking female you are incredibly feisty" he gave a slight chuckle at her shocked and slightly red face.

"NO! I mean am I pregnant?" her growl quieted as she said that. Even if it was unexpected Kagome wasn't the type of person to hate her pups. Ryūkotsusei gave a genuine smile that made Kagome falter slightly " Yes you are know carrying our hatchlings" Kagomes felt her knees wobbled and gave way. Before she hit the ground she found her self in Ryūkotsusei embrace.

He sat on the bed her in his lap and said into her hair "Don't worry my love you will make an amazing mother, I shall be by your side to help you every step of the way. We will raise our strong sons and beautiful daughters together. Tonight we shall mate and seal our bond to one another then…" Kagome interrupted him "Just hold on a second! Who said anything about mating? Plus I'm not going anywhere with YOU!" Kagome growl become louder "You buster, just raped and then impregnated me! What makes you think ill do anything for YOU!" feeling her strength return she pushed herself off his lap and stood in front of him and looked around the room for some clothes. She saw the remains of her kimono scattered several places around the room. Seeing as the only clothing available was what he had been warring the previous night she sighed and put it on.

Ryūkotsusei was in shock he sat on the bed gaping and blinking rapidly. 'She still doesn't even what to be around me! Not even expecting my hatchlings.' As he watched Kagome throw on his clothes and march to the door. He started to panic his perfect family was walking away from him. The more the thought of his mate and hatchlings away from him, possibly with another male enraged him. Speeding around her, he blocked he exit.

Kagome stormed to the exit barely clad in anything, her pail legs showing all the way to mid thigh. She didn't care all she knew was she wanted to be away from him to clear her mind. In the space of twenty-four hours she had lost her virginity, been raped and became a mother.

The inu miko was almost to the doorway when a shadow blocked her path, looking up she was met with a terrifying glare of Ryūkotsusei. Slightly scared by his scowl she gulped and tried to side step him. A viscous growl erupted from the dragons throat when his female tried to side step him."You are not going anywhere love, you will stay with me so I may protect you and our hatchlings!" his deep voice was interwoven with a growl and the tone allowed for no arguments.

Kagome gasped as she saw the determination in his eyes. Beating down her mental weakness she steeled her eyes and let a growl of her own out. ' I'm no longer the weak fifteen year old I once was. I'm a inu now and wont be pushed around by anyone.' She whipped round and started to walk back to the bed, she hid the smirk on her lips with a cough.

Ryūkotsusei was slapped in the face by her hair as she pivoted and walked towards his gold bedding area. He cautiously started to walk after her, she had fight and would not be subdued easily. He began running over in his mind how he might get her to submit without harming the hatchlings. She was no doubt going to cause a problem, all he wanted to do was explain that he was doing it for her and their unborn children's sake. It was his duty as the father to be around her to feed his offspring his share of youkai, or they could end up having problem similar to a hanyou. He was also meant to protect her from other males, feed and care for her.

Ryūkotsusei reached out an arm to grab her shoulder and turn her around to look him in the eye, but only grasped air. Turning towards the entrance as fast as he could he just glimpse a long porcelain leg disappearing out of view. Growling he launched himself after her. His fangs protruding out of his mouth, eyes a fiery red, claws extended, he would not let his family escape just when he had it in his grasp.

'Oh my little gem you will need to be taught a lesson for risking our hatchlings and your own life and all just to run from the inevitable.'

so there is the next chap i hope you like it please review and don't be afraid to say you don't like it. I will be defensive but only way ill improve :)

this chapter i wanted to show Ryus history and that he's not a complete evil person. someone reviewed saying that they didn't like the fact that Kags is with inu papas mortal enemy (which is completely fair everyone entitled to opinion and i can see that point of view) i just wanted to say, who's to say they are enemies right now? only reason Ryu and inu papa fight is because Ryu gose on rampage. So who *coughs*...i mean what could have cause said dragon to go crazy ?*winks*? could havesomthing to do with certain inu miko...or not :P

Also if you see spelling mistakes let me know. I am trying my best but I'm an awful speller and they slip through the spell check net.
