*There is no way I could own InuYasha or Diabolik Lovers since I couldn't stand all the flamers, I have a hard enough time just writing these fan fictions!

Classes were finished for the night and Kagome found herself in her room looking through some of the books that she had borrowed from Reiji. She had hoped that the books would have some sort of explanation or theory for what was happening to her and her powers, but there was nothing. Reiji hadn't been lying when he'd said her situation was the first of its kind. There wasn't even any record of a vampire coming into contact with a priestess like her in the past.

Feeling frustrated, she closed the book before turning onto her back to lay on her bed. My new bed, in my new room. I can't believe that's it's only been a week since I first met them. So much has happened in such a short amount of time... But then, that was just like what happened when I first met InuYasha. There's also the chance that itcouldend in the same way.

Her thoughts came to a halt as she felt another presence join hers. Then, before she could sit up to see who it was, she felt a heavier body pressing hers into the mattress. She attempted to sit up to get a better look at who it was but was held down, although the fedora was a dead giveaway.

"Hello, Laito. I was wondering when you would be coming around for a drink." She said, feeling a bit bored and distracted.

"Aww, I'm disappointed, Miko-chan. I was hoping for a taste of that fiery spirit of yours."

She couldn't help but snort at that. "Of course, you would be the one that would want a fight. But I'm not so stupid. Provoking a predator like that is likely to end up with my throat ripped out if you get too excited."

"That might happen, but only if I weren't a pureblood. So, come on, let out some of that frustration on me."

Kagome didn't miss the suggestive nature of his tone or words and it made her chuckle. "Fine, how about we go spar. I could use a workout."

The words had no sooner left her mouth that she felt herself moving and she was suddenly in a new location. Taking a moment to get her bearings, she saw that she and Laito were now in an open lawn. The manor was in view but a distance away, the sky was clear with the stars shining down above her in a way that she hadn't seen since she had returned from the Feudal Era, and Laito was standing a bit away from her with a familiar smirk on his face.

"Let's see if you can wet my appetite, Miko-chan," he said, his body totally at ease with his hands in his pockets and his fedora tipped down to it nearly covered his eyes.

His attitude made her smile. His cockiness made it easier for her to raise up her powers to fight him. She focused her reiki into her hands until they were encased in pink light. "And we shall see if you can make me work up a sweat."

"And to the victor goes the spoils."

She watched as his body blurred from sight and she was barely able to move before he grabbed her. He's too fast to use my eyes, Kagome decided as she closed her eyes to focus on her sixth sense. It would be easier to track his aura anyway.

His next attack came almost as quickly as the first, but she was able to counter it this time as she blocked him with her left hand. The touch of her reiki burnt his skin a bit, but she had kept the potency to a minimum to keep from injuring him too much.

Laito jumped away with a hiss. He hadn't expected her to be able to counter him so easily. The fact that she had thrilled him to no end. Easy prey was boring, but his little Miko-chan was anything but that as she kept him at bay. Now, more than anything, he wanted her pinned beneath him as he fed from his favorite spot. The image spurred him on as he charged at her from behind and to her left.

He hadn't thought that she'd be able to move so fast, but he saw her right foot cross in front of her left as she spun and punched him in the center of his chest. The impact had little in the way of physical strength, but the added power of her reiki sent him flying backwards and rolling across the grass before landing on his feet and staring at the girl in awe and lust.

She hurt me! No weapons, poisons, or familiars and she was able to hurt me! I wasright to want this woman as my bride!

Deciding that he was finished with this fight, Laito rushed her at a speed that her human body wouldn't be able to react to... and she countered him with a chop to his collarbone. He stumbled away as his bone quickly healed and he looked at her face. Her eyes were closed as she stood at a ready position. That was when he realized that, much like the night he and his brothers had attempted to bring her home, she was only defending.

"Always playing hard-to-get, Miko-chan. Why don't you chase after me for once?"

Kagome couldn't help but smirk at that. "But then I would seem 'easy,' and I think you like it when I play hard-to-get."

She knew that her defense had become close to impenetrable over the past couple of years. He had held back on his speed at first but had come at her full force on his last attack. That was her specialty, using her opponent's strength and speed against them while she stood her ground and preserved her energy. However, when it came to attacking others, that was where she fell a bit short. Her strength wouldn't even match some of the weaker demons she knew, which left her open to attacks when she attacked.

"Ah, so that's it. Your attacks are weak so you let medo the attacking for you."

Her eyes shot open as they met his feline green eyes. It was easy to tell that Laito was one of the smarter brothers along with Reiji, but she hadn't expected him to figure out her fighting patterns so quickly.

"Doesn't really matter," she countered, trying to throw him off. "Even if I can't use your speed and strength against you, I'd still be able to use my powers against you."

"Such a strong girl," he chuckled. "But I bet you used to be weak, why else would InuYasha leave you for another woman?"

She flinched. Her reiki dissipated for a moment, and that was all the opportunity Laito needed to move in and pin her to the ground. It felt so good to have her pinned beneath him. And even if she saw his little tactic as underhanded, it was a usual part of warfare. She had a strong offense and defense, but a weak mental state. And even though he wanted her easy to manipulate, he wanted to be the only one who could do that.

"Why would you say something like that?"She yelled at him as she struggled beneath his hold.

"Why wouldn't I since I know it's the easiest way to beat you," he told her as he smiled down at her. Her chest was rising and falling quickly from her breathing and her shirt had ridden up so that her stomach was exposed to his eyes. Unable to help himself, Laito let his right hand wander over the exposed her stomach, enjoying the soft skin. He felt her tense with surprise but said nothing as she stared at his face.

"You are far too easy to manipulate, Miko-chan." He cooed into her ear, letting his breath tickle her skin. "A few words here or there and you lose yourself to your emotions. I don't care if it's me that you're losing yourself to, but I don't like the idea of others using that against you either. You're mine now." To prove his point, he bit down on her neck to take his first sip.

As soon as her blood hit his tongue, he could understand why his brothers had been acting so out of character with their newest bride. It was because her blood was worth it. Amazingly potent and sweet, he could even taste traces of her reiki in her blood which added a sort of spice to it. He hardly took a mouthful before moving down her body.

"Laito, what are you-"

"I said 'to the victor goes the spoils,' did I not?"

"That doesn't mean that I'll let you do... do that to me!"

He laughed loudly, enjoying the blush coloring her cheeks as she attempted to push him away. "But you already have let myself and my brothers do that to you," he said as he lifted her leg so his lips could trail along the spot where a particularly large vein was located. "I'm just changing the location."

Before she could protest again, Laito bit down on his favorite spot to feed at her inner thigh. He felt her body tense with the pain of his bite but then relax as she stopped struggling against him. That allowed him to fully enjoy the experience of feeding from that position, everything from the taste of her blood, the softness of her skin, and the spice of her scent.

Kagome couldn't help but cover her face with her hands. The position she was in was so embarrassing, at least she was wearing shorts so that the vampire wouldn't be able to see a certain area. She wanted to push him away but knew that would only cause her more pain. Best she could do was grit her teeth and try to keep herself from becoming aroused. She blamed InuYasha and Kouga for her dilemma. After being chased after by the wolf demon and doing her own chasing after the dog demon, no human ever had much appeal to her. Demons were always rougher when showing their affections with bites, hard embraces, and shows of dominance... and Laito was showing off in ways that demons would show affection and interest in a potential mate. It was hard to keep her body from responding.

When she felt the redhead chuckle at her thigh, she knew that he could smell the change in her scent. It was embarrassing but impossible for her to hide it.

"So I was right, you like it rough, Miko-chan." Laito teased as he lifted his head from her leg. Kagome had to suppress a shutter when she saw her own blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. Despite everything, she still found it to be creepy.

"Call it 'reckless conditioning'. After InuYasha-"

"Nah-uh-ah" he smiled as he waved a finger in front of her face. "If you start comparing me to past lovers, my feelings might get hurt and I'll have to make you feel my pain." Then he was in her face, her head snapped back and hit the ground, but the pain hardly registered as she stared into his feline green eyes. "So, how about you forget about that demon right now. After all, I am all you will ever need."

Kagome hadn't expected Laito to kiss her. None of the brothers had seemed interested in showing her that kind of affection. The closest had been Ayato leaving hickies on her skin, but that was more marking-territory than showing-affection. But this kiss... it was harsh, demanding that she reciprocate but still pleasurable to her. It truly was a demon's kiss and she couldn't help but enjoy it despite tasting her own blood on his lips.

When he pulled away from her, her head instinctively lifted to follow him but he was gone. As she sat up, she saw him leaning against a tree that was a distance away from her. "Such a needy girl, Miko-chan."

"What I need is for you to close the bites you made so I don't bleed out." She scowled at him.

"But I don't need to do anything for you. You belong to us, meaning you are ours to play with. If I want you to bleed for me, you will."

Her eyes narrowed at him for a moment before the corner of her mouth quirked. "But if you want me all to yourself, why are you letting my blood go to waste and letting the scent attract other predators, like your brothers?"

No sooner had she said that than Laito felt the presence of his brothers in the area. Shu and Subaru were suddenly standing beside her, Ayato and Kanato were practically growling in his face, and Reiji stood between all of them as he glared with disapproval at his younger brother.

"You are proving to be quite the trouble maker, Kagome."

"Would you believe me if I said that Laito started it?"

He didn't answer, instead he stepped closer to Laito. "Are you trying to cause a problem? You brought her too close to those fake vampires."

"They're the ones that have been sniffing around the mansion since Miko-chan first got here."

"So you decided to bring birdie right to them? Without the rest of us here to fight them off? What if this idiot decided to run off or fight them herself?" Ayato snapped at his brother.

"She would likely win," Shu said absently as he pulled Kagome into his arms. The mark on her neck was still bleeding and the red liquid was beckoning him like the call of a choir. She didn't fight him as he dipped his head to her neck to lap at the blood and seal her wound. When he noticed her shutter again, his eyes moved down her body to see Subaru doing the same thing to the mark on her thigh. Although he was annoyed that someone else was feeding from her at the same time that he was, he pushed that aside and focused on closing the wounds to avoid the troublesome fight between his family and the Mukamis.

Once her wounds had been treated, Kagome removed herself from Shu and Subaru's arms to glare at a particular redhead. "So that's why you brought me out here? To use me as bait so you could pick a fight?" When he continued to smirk at her, she knew that was the truth. "You bastard!"

She was seriously pissed at Laito now. She'd been having so much fun fighting him and then with his teasing. But then she finds out that he was using her for his own entertainment... No, she'd had enough of that back in the Feudal Era, she was not about to let it happen again.

Then she turned to the two vampires that were closest to her. "Take me home and keep that jerk away from me, unless you want me to kill him. I'm angry enough that even if I wouldn't kill him on purpose, I might do it by accident."

Subaru nodded to her before shooting a glare at his elder brother and gathering his bride in his arms. A moment later, the two of them and Shu were in her room. He set her to her feet but she stayed in his arms as she reached to take Shu's hand.

"If there's one thing I can't stand, it's being used like that. I'm okay with... feeding on me is one thing, but being used as a pawn just to start a fight makes me angry."

Then, before the two vampires could fully realize what she was doing, Kagome had kissed Subaru's cheek before lifting Shu's hand to kiss his knuckles. "Thank you for bringing me home. I'm going to go to sleep," she said as she released them and climbed under the covers of her bed.

The two vampires quickly disappeared from her room as she settled between the sheets, trying to calm her anger. That bastard, telling me that he wants to be the only one to manipulate me. What makes him think that I'd even allowhim to manipulate me? I'll burn him if he ever tries that crap again.
