Chapter 5

In an empty classroom (As told by Kagome and Sesshoumaru)

Theresa: eagerly So? What do you think? Does it fit with the other chapters?

Darren: (sets down rough draft and sighs) Yes, love, it does…

Theresa: (smiles brightly) Good! I'll type it up now and post it (turns to computer)

Darren: NOW?!

Theresa: Yes, if that is alright. Besides, you have class in a couple of minutes, lunch is almost over. And it's not like our computer is up and running yet…

Darren: You've been working on that chapter for the last few days! Ignoring me in the process. And for your information Mrs. McCabe is not here this week, she is in Bahn, so I don't have class!

Theresa: But I need to put this up!! My readers are waiting!

Darren: What's the rush? You've never put up a chapters so soon after putting one up! It can wait. (moves over to her and pulls her up and against him) I need you know. It can wait.

Theresa: eyes open wide. Opens mouth to say something

Darren:( Kisses her and whispers something in her ear, making her blush)

Theresa: (whispers) You wouldn't!

Darren: I would

Theresa: But we are in school!

Darren: Has that stopped me before?

Theresa: (Gasps)

Kagome: Well, Sess, should we write it for her? She seems…

Sesshoumaru: (quirks eyebrow) Busy?

Kagome: (blushes) Yes, that's the word I was looking for…

Sess: Yes, we should. This Sesshoumaru wants to know if our shower scene heats up…

Kagome: Well, guys, here's chapter five! Enjoy!

Sesshoumaru: (growls) Don't forget to review!

Chapter 5

Interruptions

Miroku and Inuyasha were walking down the corridor arguing the finer points of who owed what to who from their last fussball game.

"I , so, scored a goal before we went to dinner! I beat you, Monk, you owe me a week of ramen noodles!"

"That maybe so, but it was two out of three and we only played one."

"Why yo-!" He stops in mid-word and sniffs the air. His hand reaching for the sword that he left in the room. "Miroku?"

"Yeah, I sense him too. Where's Kikiyo?"

"With Songo in the sauna."

"She's safe then. Kagome?"

Inuyasha didn't answer. He looked over the railing. "Six floors. What do you think, Monk, can I make it?" He didn't wait for an answer, he jumped.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled, "You're insane! You better not have done something to Kagome, Kouga or Inuyasha will have your heart cut out and served to her for breakfast!" He followed Inuyasha, over the railing. 'Why do I let my self get into these things?'

Inuyasha lands on all fours, Miroku on three, his other hand clutching his staff.

"Next time we take the stairs. I think we scared some of the other guests."

"They take too long," was the growled response. They took off running. Inuyasha leading. After having jumped over another set of stairs they reached the pool. Inuyasha throws open the door, all but ripping it off its hinges.

"Careful Inuyahsa! We don't own this place!" Inuyasha ignored him.

"KAGOME!?"

'What am I doing? Here I am snogging Inuyasha's half-brother, in a shower! Not only did I just meet him but he saved my ass, not once but twice!! Ugh-!' her thoughts were cut off as she was slammed into the wall.

He felt her breath rush into his mouth as he slammed her into the wall. 'My apologies, are you okay?'

'Yes, just a bit shocked.'

His fang grazed her lip cutting it. He eagerly lapped up her blood. As the taste of her blood hit his senses he froze. An overpowering sense of fear and hate hit him along with a very strong image of some other male doing the same thing only forcing her to take his own blood in return. The male could only be Naruku. Recognizing the beginning of the demon mating ritual Sesshoumaru pulls away from her mouth.

"Tell me. Miko, was this Naruku," he said the name with such venom that it scared Kagome, "a youkai like myself?"

"Youkai, yes, like you, no. More like Inuyasha. Why?"

"Because he may have taken you as his mate."

"WHAT?" she screeched, hurting his ears.

"That memory, flashback, whatever, when I accidentally cut your lip. He cut your lip and then his making you drink his blood . Am I correct?"

"You saw that?!" she whispered.

"We are still connected. Now, answer my question."

"Yes," was the meek reply.

"That was the beginning of the demon mating bond. The next step is the marking, where we bite our chosen mate…" he trails off as her eyes open wide. Another flash of color, emotion, senses. This time of red, black and pink. Hate, fear, anger, pain. Growling low in the back of his throat, he pushes back her hair from her neck and looks at her neck carefully, he couldn't see a mating mark on either side. Not trusting his eyes he runs clawed fingers over her neck feeling for any scar tissue. He hits gold just under her jaw. "Did he bite you here?"

'No. It was at the juncture between my collar bone and neck. That scar is from my first encounter with Yura of the hair.' She moans as his fingers continue to play along her neck.

"There has to be a mark! Unless--! Miko, there was a flash of pink after the pain, what happened?" His fingers pause at her pulse, feeling it skip wildly under his touch.

"I don't know, at first he was biting my neck and then all of a sudden I felt really hot and this burst of pink light comes out of no where. One minute he was biting me and the next he was swearing at me telling me that I was going to pay."

Upon hearing this, Sesshoumaru lets out a sigh of relief and then starts to chuckle.

"I'm glad someone finds the humor in this." She muttered under her breath.

"'The mating of a youkai and miko must be one of mutual consent. He who takes a miko for his mate without her consent, shall upon marking her, bring forth, as of yet untouched powers from within her, laying a deadly curse upon her attacker. That youkai shall be marked for both humans and youkai alike as one of low status. If a child should result, that youkai shall die upon his child's first breath.' In short you cursed him."

She gave him a week smile. He noticed that her hand had gone to her stomach. It was then that he saw the faint stretch marks.

"Kami, I didn't know. Have you-?"

She shakes her head. "I haven't seen him since the first month of my pregnancy. I was home schooled until the seven months were done. As soon as the pups were born I moved to Ireland. In the hopes that we could start from scratch. With a clean slate. I've been working ever since. I'm twenty years old, a single mother and with no steady source of income."

"Pups? You had twins? Where are they? Can I see them?" he rests his forehead against hers. "I'm sorry…"

"Yes, two beautiful boys, Sean and Patrick. I left them in Kadead's care. She told me that I needed a vacation so she and my mother organized one for me."

"Kagome I-"

"KAGOME!?"

"That bastard of a brother of mine has the worst timing!" growled Sesshoumaru. "Quickly, get under the water, pretend that you are taking a shower. I will stand by the door." 'Kami, I'm acting like a pubescent teen!'

Kagome giggles. 'Put your defenses back up!! He'll be able to hear your thoughts.'

'Naw-uh. I've adjusted them so that only you can, when I want you to that is.'

Sesshoumaru steps out of the shower.

"KAGOME! KA-"

"No need to yell, hanyou, she's in there." He points to the shower that he just left.

"Is she-?"

"She's fine. I sent the ass off with his tail tucked between his legs."

"Sooo, what were you do-?" Inuyasha was cut off by a look of promised death from Sesshoumaru if he continued that line of questioning. "Okay, okay, none of my biz. Got it." Muttered Inuyasha.

Kagome steps out of the shower. Three pairs of eyes fall on her and then on the bathing suit in her hands. "What?"

'Uh…Kagome , you're not wearing anything under that robe are you?'

'No, see my bathing suit is-…oh…' She ducks behind Sesshoumaru and looks at Inuyasha and Miroku.

"PERVERTS!"

Sesshoumaru chuckles. "Well, shall we go get ready for dinner? I'm starving." At this last line he winks at Kagome.

She sticks her tongue out at him, 'Pervert!', she teases.

Kagome: Well, talk about a twist. Man…

Sesshoumaru: No kiddin'. Well, the author is on her way back. We should go.

Kagome: K. Anyway, we hope y'all enjoyed this chapter. Please, don't forget to review! Thanks.
