chapter 19 They Meet
Reaching the edge of the village Kagome took a deep breath plaster a fake smile on her face and turned to Ryūkotsusei. "My lord I think it would be best if you wait here whilst I get my supplies, the villagers are not used to demons, especially ones as powerful as you" Kagome slowly ran a finger down his jawline for added effect. He shuddered under her touch and this pleased Kagome ever so slightly. When he looked about to say something she spoke again "With your superior senses and speed I'm sure the short distance I am from you will make no difference. I am confident my alpha with protect me and my pu…I mean hatchlings" Ryukotsusei gave a low seductive pleased growl and replied " Of course I will protect you. Go I will wait for your return here my sapphire" he lent down and whispered in her ear "Then we shall return to our rutting nest and finish our bonding" When he nipped her ear, Kagome jumped slightly and took note of her fluttering heart which she quickly tried to subdue, she would not the demon that just raped her to worm his way into her heart.
Ryukotsusei placed a hand on her stomach and sent a small slither of his youkai to his unborn children. He could already feel they were going to be powerful by the way the youkai he gave was sucked from his palm with vigor. 'So demanding already, who knows what they'll be like when they arrive. Which reminds me I must send a message back to the palace to prepare a wing for myself and my little inu, I will need to make sure to order that their will be room for a nursery. I can't wait to see my sapphire settling in and nesting in my home making it her own. I wonder what she will require in the nursery and what colours she'll want' Ryukotsusei was pulled from his thoughts when Kagome turned and started to walk towards the village. He could help but admire her rear and the way her hips swayed. He could just imagine those shapely legs wrapped around his waist. Coughing he cleared his mind of such thoughts he did not wish to be waiting with a painful erection 'mate stay we rut again' came his beasts whining voice. He was very tempted to heed his beast and recover his inu female, mentally slapping himself and his beast for letting his mind wander,all his attention had to be on his little inu to keep her safe.
Slowly Kagome walked into the village. Many things were running through her mind as she tried to pull the pieces of her plan together. As soon as she could get Kirara away from Ryukotsusei the better. He could use Kirara to blackmail her into all sorts of things, plus who knew how he was treating her. Without anything to hold against her, she would have the upper hand. Kagome wasn't cold hearted and knew what it was like to grow up without a father, so she wasn't about to cut Ryukotsusei out of their PUPS lives, but he didn't need to know that.
As the village came into view she spotted the villagers all crowded around Rikos hut. They all seemed worried about something as she arrived at the back of the congregation, she tapped the closest man on the shoulder. "why is everyone clouding around, is someone hurt?" she asked whilst looking past him at the miko hut trying to see the problem. As the man saw who was talking to him he bowed and said" My lady we have been searching for you. The lord of this land a demon also known as Inu no Tashio. Arrived this morning requesting to meet the inu demoness that had taken up residence in the village. Riko-sama took him into her hut whilst she sent a group of men to find you." Kagomes breath caught in her throat as she thought of meeting Inuyashas father. She had been in his presence twice in a sence, once being at his grave and the other the sealing of Sō'unga to the nether world. She shuddered as she remembered his deep voice and the power that emitted from him even though he had been dead for some time.
As more people noticed her they cleared a route to the miko hut. Gulping and balling her hands into fists she stepped forward and started at a brisk confidant walk through the crowd. She could feel their many eyes burning into her as she reached the hut entrance. She held up her fist to knock the door frame but paused hesitating thinking what would happen once they met. Shaking her head she knocked, when a reply came she released a deep breath trying to relax and entered.
Touga had set off for the village as soon as he had heard that there was a unknown inu female in his lands. The guard who given him the amazing news was almost knocked over when the young lord raced for the entrance of the palace, his kitsune friend following whilst shouting for the 'mad dog to slow down'. They hadn't stopped and traveled through the night.A female inu was something that even if she refused to take a mate, must be protected. She could refuse to make a matting bond but still breed. Inu females often mated with different males as to produce more pups, it was a way to reduce the possibility to inbreeding. With so few females it was likely half sibling might rut to produce pups. Siblings had mated many times in the past and the resulting pups had been health and strong. Sibling relationships were not looked down upon and did not have any of the side effect that seemed to be the result of human incest. Even so, with the waning female population, their were no risks to be taken. It was his responsibility as THE inu lord to protect a female of his kind. So rare they were it would be likely that a demon on a quest for power could capture her and try to hold the helpless female to ransom. The bitch was on his lands and if there was anyone to be under his protection it would be this new female.
When he arrived at the village he was unsure of how the humans would react to him. Humans usually did two things, fight, which was pointless or run, which was also pointless. His speed and strength was that of a taiyoukia and so dealing with weak humans was like swatting a fly but with more seriousness consequences for the offending human. He always admired humans, they seemed to live such full lives no matter how short they were. The rest of his ki only saw humans as a possible source of food. He detested the thought of eating humans. He knew inus rarely ate human but when they did he was always repulsed and refused to partake. Over the generations he had watched and was baffled about how quickly they learnt, progressed and passed knowledge from generation to generation.
Touga was shocked when he arrived at this particular village, they became defensive but not aggressive. The village men question what his purpose was with coming to their village, when they actually listened to his reply he felt his natural inu inquisitive nature take hold 'what has caused this particular village to except and even listen to demons. It is like none I have seen before'. He couldn't remember how many times villages refused to listen and would rush into an unwinnable fights that usually ended in much bloodshed on their half. These peculiar villagers listened then lead him to their mikos hut.
He had been cautious when they said miko, he thought they might be leading him to a trap. He was sure he could handle anything the miko could through at him. He blinked rapidly in shock when he was met with a slightly frosty but none the less a welcome, just a welcome from the miko baffled him so he dismissed her less than friendly attitude. The young woman had introduced herself and told him he was welcome to stay whist she sent some men to retrieve her mentor. He didn't fully understand why he needed to see her mentor, when he just wished to meet the inu demoness. But deciding it was only polite to receive an audience with a miko willing to be in the company of demons. He was sure to have fun telling everyone back at the palace about this, though he doubted they would truly believe him.
He smelt a kitsune approaching and guested it to be Yukio, so didn't waste the effort checking its youkai. When a small kit bounced into the hut he felt his eyes widen. The kit spotted him and its eyes too widened. Neither said anything just stared at one another. Touga was shocked to see a kit freely enter the mikos hut as if it was his own, with no care to the possible danger.
When Shippo first ran into Rikos hut he'd been stunned when he saw what he first thought was Inuyasha sitting talking to the young woman. The moment the inu demon turned his head fully to Shippo, he could have sworn Sesshomaru was glaring at him with his emotional mask firmly in place. It was very strange for the young fox to see emotion flood the Sesshomaru like face. The widening of the inus golden eyes reminded him of the face Inuyasha always pulled just as Kagome when to 'sit' him. Licking his lips Shippo went to say something when their was a knock. He turned to see his mother walk in allowing sunshine to filter in as she lifted the hut flap. The first thing that hit Shippo was the strange smell that was flowing off his mother in waves. The second thing he noticed was his mothers clothes she was wearing a large purple haori. It was actually more modest then her old school uniform but it stank of a powerful males scent, which made him crinkle his nose. Not paying attention to the way his mother was frozen eyes locked with the strange inu demon, he ran over to his mother and jumped into her arms. "mama where have you been?" He shook her arm to get her attention. Kagomes eyes snapped to him and she smiled "Im sorry Shippo what did you say?"
Touga had been expecting a inu demoness not the goddess that walked in. As she stood in the doorway with the sunlight spilling in around her she really did look as though she had been sent by the gods. She was nothing like he expected. He had pictured another pale fragile demoness much like Inukimi. But this angel was nothing like the bitch at his palace. Where as inukimi skin was a sickly white the female in front of him was pale but held a natural sun kissed glow that was only attained from spending time outdoors. Her raven locks cascaded over her left shoulder whilst her equally black tail hung from her right. Gold clashed with gold as he stared into the windows of her soul. Her gold eyes though similar to his own seemed to have an amber tinge, he could not decide if it was merely colouring or the warmth and kindness her eyes that seemed to make her eyes glow. His eyes slowly left her and followed the line of her markings over her cheeks, he could almost imagine peppering those markings with kisses whist whispering words of love and devotion to her. His hand twitched with the desire to brush her midnight black bangs away from her forehead so he could clearly see the strange symbol that marred her brow. His eyes snapped from her to the kit that jumped into her arms. The inu male had to physically cover his mouth with his hand to stop the gasp that threatened to leave his lips when the kit had refured to the female inu as 'mama'. By sight he would argue their relation to one another. But in scent it was clear the kit was hers and not to be messed with. One of the first thing inu pups were taught was not to harm a females pups, so his was not about to dispute with her that the kit was not her pup. Inu demonesses were known for being incredibly protective over pups. It was whilst analysing their relationship that he picked another males scent on the female. This made a growl threat to wrap between his lips, he restrained himself but could feel his beast ager grow as he sat watching the female interact with the the kit 'bitch care our pups'. With a deep inhale he started pulling information from the smells that brushed bast his nose. She had been with a male recently and had been pupped. He felt like kicking himself 'maybe if i had travelled fasted or got the message sooner I could of been the one to pup her' his beast howled and thrashed for release so he could rid the female of the unknown males offspring and replace them with his own. Touga shook his head in disgust, never had his beast been so aggressive with such a sensitive situation. They were innocent lives that hadn't done anything to warrant his hatred. As he calmed his beast he became strangely pleased with the fact the female was carrying pups. It showed she was able to breed it would also allow him time to court the female and see if she was more agreeable than inukimi. Her being pupped meant whist she was in his care he wouldn't have to worry about males trying to bed her. They could grow close without the constant threat of being pounced on. There was obviously no male with claim on her as he would be with her now protecting his mate and pups. A pleased growl escaped from him as he smelt she was unmated and has no long lasting sent marks. Inu demons, male or female mated for life, loyal till the last breath left their lips. If he could gain her affection and mate her their was little to nothing that could separate them. She was free for the taking, she would birth her current pups and he would claim then as his own. The pups were not pure inu, that he could tell but part inu at least and strong, so he would gladly welcome them into the west them could prove useful protecting his pups and their half siblings if then need arose.
He was pulled from his musings when the female asked him a question
"i am Kagome inu demoness of this village. What is it you wished of me my lord?" her voice was strong and filled with a defiance which filled him with hope, inukimi was far too willing to grovel to get what she wanted from him. With a dashing smile that had females swooning in the masses he rose to stand and replied with " Please call me Toga"
ok would you believe three time I have edited this chap each time ipad battery went so lost everything I'd done. Anyway I wish to apologise for this chap before I edited it , it was appalling and I am very sorry it won't happen again. the reason for posting that mess was because this chap has been sat for over a week on laptop I couldn't be bother/fine enough time to edit it. By posting it I knew it would force my self to edit it sooner (Like tonight instead of giving up I worked on even after having to do it THREE TIMES!) any way hope you like it I might get the help of a beta so I can concentrate on the story and get chaps out quicker. I have dyslexia which effects my spelling and punctuation, part of the reason for writing a fanfic was because I am studying art so rarely have to write, and basically I was becoming sloppy, this was a fun way to keep spelling a punctuation fresh in mind. I try my best and if you read this chap before edit you can tell how much I have to change. so sorry again will not let it happen again I know it runes the magic so learnt my lesson no posting chaps at 2am XP.

So if your a Touga lover from chapter 9 a new story has been born XD it's i kind of you can decide if cage goes left or right. If. You get my drift. I will let you all know when new story goes up XD
