Kagome woke up about an hour later. 'What have I done?' she thought. 'This was not supposed to happen!!' she thought frantically. She felt different too.
She started to get up, and Sesshoumaru immediately woke and sensed her panic. "What's wrong?" he asked. He didnt sense any danger.
"This wasnt supposed to happen..." whispered Kagome.
"What about Inuyasha? What if he finds out? We still need to find the jewel shards!! How could this happen?" she asked herself.
"Kagome... it is alright," said Sesshoumaru calmly. Kagome was starting to get dressed.
"I'm sorry, Sesshoumaru... I have to go," said Kagome. "No... I have already marked you as mine. You will join my pack," said Sesshoumaru.
"You what!!" she asked, stunned.
"I have marked you. Now Inuyasha cannot touch you," said Sesshoumaru.
"Why... why would you do that? We still need to find--" she said, but Sesshoumaru was getting angry.
"You willingly gave yourself to me! Are you saying you dont love me?!" he said.
"No... its not that, its just, my group still need to find the jewel shards, and Naraku will see me as a weakness to you! He already used Rin against you!" said Kagome.
Sesshoumaru knew she had a point.
"If you go back to your group, that half breed will smell me on you. There is no doubt that he will turn full demon," said Sesshoumaru.
"Why?" asked Kagome, confused.
"Inuyasha wants the dead miko, but his demon wants you," said Sesshoumaru. "What am I going to do?" she whispered to herself.
Sesshoumaru stayed silently for a few moments. He needed to protect his mate! Then there was no choice. He needed to join their pack.
He hated the idea, but he loved Kagome. It was for her. "My pack can join yours," he said. "What?" she asked.
"My pack and join your pack," said Sesshoumaru. "This Sesshoumaru will not let you get injured by a mindless half breed," said Sesshoumaru. "What about what the others think?" she said.
"I already smell that dead miko all over that half breed from here. It will not be long before she joins your group," said Sesshoumaru.
"Oh..." said Kagome. "Okay. I'll wait here. It's almost sunrise," said Kagome. He nodded and went to get Rin and Jaken. He was back 20 minutes later, and they went towards Inuyasha's group.
Sesshoumaru stopped about 10 meters from the clearing of Kagome's camp. Sesshoumaru covered Rin, Jaken's, and his own scent. Kagome gulped nervously. She made sure that the mating mark was covered.
She silently walked into the campsite, and Inuyasha still hasnt come. As usual.
Kagome pretended to sleep, and sure enough, 10 minutes later he came. He sniffed the air, and became alert. "You guys! Wake up!" he said. "What?" asked Miroku.
"Sesshoumaru is here..." he said. "Where?" Sango asked, grabbing her Hirakotsu. Inuyasha sniffed, and it led to Kagome. 'No... that cant be true,' thought Inuyasha.
'You FOOL!! She's been marked! She's been taken!! She knew that you were going to that piece of shit, and now look what you have done!'yelled his beast. 'That's not true!' thought Inuyasha. But his demon was emerging already.
"Inuyasha?" asked Sango. Inuyasha growled. "How dare you!!" yelled Inuyasha at Kagome. Kagome was getting scared, and when he lunged at her, she closed her eyes and turned away, waiting for the pain to come.
There wasnt any pain. She opened her eyes, and saw Sesshoumaru grabbing his throat. "Try to touch what's mine again, half breed, and you will pay dearly... with your pitiful life!" whispered Sesshoumaru in his ear, as he choked him and letting the poison seep into his skin.
Sesshoumaru threw Inuyasha to the side. "What's going on? Kagome?" asked Sango. Kagome looked at Sango. "I... I've been with Sesshoumaru," said Kagome. "How long?" asked Miroku.
"Couple weeks... maybe more," whispered Kagome. She was about to cry. She wasnt ashamed of what she did, its just the thought of hurting her friends like this... not letting them know.
"And he marked you?" asked Sango. Kagome nodded. "How could you do this?" asked Sango. "I dont know... It just happened! Inuyasha kept going to Kikyo every single night... And it hurt... so much. I just couldnt take the stress anymore," said Kagome, between sobs.
Inuyasha got up but then an arrow shot through the air towards Sesshoumaru. "What the-" said Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru caught it with ease between his fingers.
Then Kikyo came out of the trees. "What a slut," said Kikyo. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at the dead miko. "Well, I should say the same to you. Except the fact that you... are dead," said Sesshoumaru.
"Well at least Inuyasha loves me," said Kikyo, with a triumphant smile. "But only one half loves you. You will never win his beast. It already chose Kagome, but now she is taken, and the beast will not love anyone else. You will never have all of Inuyasha. Remember that. But Kagome, she has all my love. And now she is my mate," said Sesshoumaru, proudly.
"A human? For a mate? A miko no less. Once Naraku finds out, he will certainly take her," said Kikyo. "I will not let that happen," said Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha, by then, turned to normal.
"Why Kagome?" he asked. "Stupid half breed. She just told us why," said Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha looked at Kikyo. "She will be joining our group. Kagome, will not be needed," said Inuyasha. That struck Kagome hard.
"What?!" yelled Sango. "Then I am going to go with Kagome," said Sango. "As will I," said Miroku. "Me too," said Shippo. "Then it is done. They will be in my pack," said Sesshoumaru.
"No! Miroku and Sango stays. You can take the runt," said Inuyasha. "I will not go near that thing," said Sango. "She will be joining us whether you like it or not!" said Inuyasha. "Well then, good luck you two. Its not like she can purify any jewels. She may have spiritual powers, but she can not purify or sense any shards," said Miroku.
Inuyasha didnt know that, but he just turned his head away, and walked out of the clearing with Kikyo.
"Thank you, Lord Sesshoumaru for letting us join your group," said Miroku, bowing. "Rin! Jaken! Come!" said Sesshoumaru. The little imp and Rin came out of hiding along with Ah Un.
"Thank you, Sesshoumaru," whispered Kagome, and hugged him. He nodded, and hugged her back.
"Sango, Miroku, Shippo. You didnt have to do that," said Kagome. "Yeah, we did. I wont go anywhere near Kikyo. And what Inuyasha did? I didnt even know. I'm sorry Kagome. I wish you and Sesshoumaru happiness," said Sango. "As do I," said Miroku. Sango felt a hand squeeze her ass, and she got mad. "Hentai!!" she yelled, and slapped him.
"Ah... that was definitely worth it," said Miroku gently rubbing the place she slapped him. They all shook their heads... except Rin, Jaken, and Sesshoumaru, who were shocked that a priest would do such a thing.
