Chapter 13 Just a Bad day
This was just not her day! Have you ever had a day that you just wished you never woke up? Well today was that day for Kagome. It started off bad and Kagome knew it would end the same.
First she wakes up in the greatest pain she had ever felt in her life, then gets snatched out of the well by an out of control youkai. Then later feel passion with a youkai she should hate with her entire being. Except she couldn't hate him, not even a little. She most certainly did not hate the calm and comforting feeling of his strong arms holding her close to a perfectly sculpted hard chest. Just like she did not detest the feeling of belong wanted when his body refused to release her after there passion was spent. In those moments she felt treasured, only to find out how utterly wrong she was.
A simple conversation turned into a heated argument that hurt her feeling immensely. After all the years of rejection she endured thanks to the carelessness of Inuyasha there was not much more her fragile heart could take. Again she could not help but think that today was just not her day!
Of course it got worse, she and her new mated mate up from there first tiff only to be disturbed by one pissed off hanyou! It was then that she knew thinks could not get any worse, the look of betrayal in his eyes the pain in his voice told her all she needed to know, she had just hurt her best friend immensely. A little voice in the back of her mind told her not to care, that he does it all the time to her in the form of Kikyo. But she knew, she knew it was not the same. Yes she did try to kill me and him for that matter but he was in love with her. All Kagome wanted to do was cry and feel sorry for herself, or maybe bitch and moan about how the day just plainly sucked!
Kagome knew that she had jinxed herself, the moment the thought entered her head she knew she was doomed 'why did I have to think that things could not get any worst? Because clearly they could and was just about going to get worst.' she thought closing her eyes to calm her fried nerves.
Kagome Heard an angry scream then seen a blur of red jump over her head towards her mate, "Inuyasha, NO!" she screamed, she knew Sesshomaru would not let his attack go unnoticed this time.
Inuyasha could not believe this! He was in a state of total and utter shock, his brother just called Kagome his mate. He knew that when the spell was cast upon them all that he had deflowered her. He could smell it in her scent, that it no longer held the innocence. The sweet smell of her innocence was erased and replaced with a spicy scent that could only mean one thing, that she was a women now. He did not bring it up because he thought she would be ashamed of herself and he did not wish to make her feel worst.
By judging the sight he just walked in on, he was wrong. Their intimate embrace spoke nothing of shame but of contentment and passion. They looked every bit the lovers they were and that hurt him more then he thought possible. He knew that he could not be with Kagome, not the way she deserves because of his attachment to Kikyo. That however did nothing to curb the pain and betrayal he felt at that moment. 'What a fucked up day!' he thought while looking at scene before him.
People rightly called jealously a disease because once it caught it spread like wild fire until it consumed your entire being. He vaguely wondered if this is what Kagome felt like every time he would go to Kikyo but he quickly pushed the thought aside. He did not care at the moment how she felt, she had betrayed him in the worst possible way. She slept with and mated his brother and the fault could not be pinned on some magic spell. The blame was theirs and theirs alone. He wondered if his brother did this on purpose to piss him off, he had never hated his brother more then he did at that moment.
His hate and anger swirled around him like a mighty tornado and all of that energy was directed at one being, Sesshomaru. Inuyasha leaped over Kagome as he charged towards his hated brother. He heard Kagome's screams but did not heed it, he knew what he was doing. He knew that by attacking Sesshomaru his challenge would be answered. Sesshomaru's pride would not allow him to just turn a cheek, and he was counting on this. 'I will kill the bastard and solve the problem' he thought in a rage. He did not care that this all happened because of a spell, not that he believed the excuse they had given for their repeat offenses. 'if the spell was still active then I would still be in love with Kagura. And I am not!' he thought as he came within striking distance of his hated half brother.
Sesshomaru knew that Inuyasha was an idiot so his actions did not surprise him because he expected it, he was however glad that he did not need to worry about protecting his mate. It was clear Inuyasha wanted to kill him to free Kagome from there mating. Sesshomaru knew the hanyou loved his mate and would fight to keep her. She no longer belonged to Inuyasha, she never actually did. The virginity he took on their first coupling had proved that fact, he knew that Inuyasha had no real claim to the girl. That however did nothing to stop the feeling of resentment he felt for the hanyou. Inuyasha had everything he desired for himself, first it was the sword of their great and terrible father, now it was the love of his chosen female. He knew that Kagome loved the ignorant pup, even though they had mated it does not in anyway mean that her feelings for the hanyou had changed. he knew this and hated his brother all the more for it!
He knew that fighting the whelp would hurt his mate, but Inuyasha made his bed now he must sleep in it. He however could not help but wonder where he loyalties will lie now, will she stick by her mate? Or will she protect the hanyou? He figured it was the latter and his anger kept piling. He could not understand it, he knew that she did not want to be his mate. So siding with his brother was something he should expect from her, but it was the thought of his mate siding with another male that enraged him.
It was no longer about Kagome and Inuyasha as individual beings. It was about his chosen female siding with another male, a rival male that sent his inu in a rage. He could feel his beast pulling at his mental chains to kill the rival male and he almost gave into his blood lust in the desire for the same. He did not however, he was Sesshomaru Lord of the Western Lands and he did not lose control of himself in a fit of rage as other lowly youkai did.
That however did not mean he was going to hold back. The toying with Inuyasha will stop now! This is no longer about a simple sword, this was about pride, honor and dignity and he would not allow Inuyasha the liberty of thinking he was his equal any longer.
'if it is a fight you want Inuyasha, then it is fight you will receive.' he thought while dodging the crazy swing he turned to engage his brother in what he assumed a fight to the death.
