Chapter 17: History

Last time: And what was going to happen now. The tension was thick and everyone felt it. Who would be the first to speak? Kagome's unusual words caused a dead silence from everyone. Really those weren't everyday words you use in normal conversations. Kagome… this was all her fault….but at least there was no bloodshed. Always a plus for her but not for the blood hungry demons who would've loved to kick some ass.

Lady Nefertiti: Please read and review. And check out my new fanfic 'Pardon?' (Sess X Kag) character death in this chapter. I didn't want to make it too gruesome…

-Outside the barrier-

All demons were silent as they slowly took in Kagome's words. Inwardly Sesshomaru was happy but now really wasn't the time to make declarations of love! They were in the middle of a battle. Really women and their timing sometimes. And here Kagome and him were busy in his chambers before Kouga decided to butt in. Kagome even said that he needed to finish this business with Kouga before they mated. He wasn't so sure he agreed with her. He wanted to mate her.

'Yes. Listen to mate. Keep her happy.' Sesshomaru's beast said.

"So this means that my woman likes inu's better than ookami's?" Kouga said, her words finally sinking in. He was hurt and wanted to kill someone, that being standing in front of him, Sesshomaru. How dare he take his woman away from him and from right under his nose too! "I saw her first Sesshomaru!" Kouga said sounding like an upset child that lost his favorite toy.

"I beg to differ. It was this Sesshomaru who saw her first." Sesshomaru said coolly. This wolf was wasting his precious time.

"That's right Wolf-breath!" Inuyasha said pitching in.

"This Sesshomaru does not require your help in this matter hanyou." Sesshomaru said in a cold voice as he eyed the ookami that dared call Kagome 'his woman.' How degrading to be reduced to be labeled as such….intended mate yes…but as 'his woman?' it sounded downright barbaric.

-Inside-

Miroku's eyebrow was twitching. He was at a real loss at what to do. He was dying to go out of the barrier and see what was happening and possibly avoid bloodshed but then again he was dying to grope Sango. This was difficult indeed! What should he do? What was more important? Sango was of course! And he knew that Sesshomaru and now that Inuyasha was there too could handle Kouga. His pack weren't about to attack them.

"Why don't you just understand Wolf? That Kagome belongs to this Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru said coldly. Did this ookami have cobwebs for brains?

"You cannot OWN Kagome like she's your possession! She is a person!" Kouga said.

"You're one to talk." Inuyasha mumbled. Yeah with Kouga and all his… 'My woman this' and 'my woman that' you'd think that Kagome didn't have a choice or could make decisions on her own.

Kagome hmphed at the pair of them and crossed her arms. Such boys! They were arguing like children! Kouga had crossed the line and it was aggravating her. Knowing that she had to address Sesshomaru with respect in public she said, "Sesshomaru-sama I have no problems with it." Kagome said and sauntered back into the barrier. His beast sighed with unknown relief. Good. Mate was gone. And safe from this barbarian who dared call Kagome his.

"Kagome! Kagome!" Kouga called after her. But she ignored him and walked off. Inuyasha looked from Kouga and Kagome's retreating back, sighed and raced after Kagome.

"Oi! Wench wait for me!" Inuyasha called zipping after her. Honestly that girl had a mind of her own sometimes and never listened!

Sesshomaru turned around and gave Kouga a glare. "It appears your time has run out ookami," Sesshomaru said, claws glowing with green poison.

"Oh? And what exactly do you mean by that?" Kouga said cockily, arms on his hips. This Lord would never understand that Kagome was his!

"You're about to become a piece of history." Sesshomaru said in an evil voice. His hands wrapped around Kouga's neck and screams were heard. The poison penetrated his neck as Kouga slowly choked and coughed dying slowly. Sesshomaru, enjoying every second.

His pack grimaced but no one moved to help. They had no desire to die, especially by Sesshomaru's angered beast. Hakaku sighed as he motioned his pack to retreat. This wasn't the way he wanted to become pack leader by his friend Kouga dying. Slowly everyone raced back to the den, avoiding catching Sesshomaru's attention.

-Inside the barrier-

Inuyasha grimaced as he heard Kouga. He deserved it but he was glad that it wasn't him that Sesshomaru was killing. He had no desire to die by his half-brother's hands.

"Kagome-chan! Are you okay?" Sango said rushing over to her.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Kagome said. She wasn't so sure about Sesshomaru though. She knew he was going to kill Kouga and she didn't want to see it. She knew he wouldn't listen to her anyway. She was glad when Inuyasha followed her back inside the barrier though. It seemed like she could use some support. "I'm just not so sure about Kouga though." Kagome shook her head as both made their way over to the castle, ignoring the calls of the boys. Kouga was history. And that's all there was to it.

"Oi! Wench! Wait for me!" Inuyasha said. "Where you running off to? It'd better not be 'that' room! Hell knows I can't even get into the royal wing! I think we'd all be better off in the study and waiting for Sesshomaru. Well after he's done cleaning himself up. Nasty stuff. Bloodshed." Miroku had this lecherous look on his face and Sango glared at him. She knew what the hentai was thinking.

-Sesshomaru-

He stared down at the unmoving dead body at his feet and something that appeared like a smirk came and went on his face. His beast cheered that the enemy was dead but nothing showed on Sesshomaru's poker face.

'Kagome. His woman indeed.' He thought and walked back into the barrier of his castle where Kagome was, his Kagome. He was surprised when Kagome just up and gave him the okay to kill Kouga like she had. Maybe she too, was indeed sick and tired of the wolf?

'Mate is saying she loves us!' his beast said.

'indeed.' Sesshomaru thought and walked into the barrier. This would be a day remembered in history, when said, little Miko of the Shikon gave her mate, Lord Sesshomaru of the western lands the okay to kill one of her friends because he was constantly claiming her as his. but Kagome belonged to Sesshomaru and to him alone.

Please read and review!

Kouga: "You killed me! Was this really necessary? You could've just had me run off with my pack!"

Lady Nefertiti: "My fic baka! and you still would come and claim Kagome wouldn't you?"

Kouga: '..........'
