I do not own Inuyasha or Co.

Previously on GOOD EYE SNIPER

"So, you're serious about Kagome?"

"I don't want to be," Inuyasha sighed, "but yes."

I felt that tint of pink flood my face again.

"Then we have to make them see your innocent," Miroku said.

"How? They don't know me. I can't say, 'Yeah, I'm not in alliance with Naraku. He killed Kikyo seven years ago, and I have been trying to kill him ever since'. It's corny Miroku. They'll never believe me," I heard the squeak again.

"I guess we have to give it time," Miroku said.

"We're running out of time," Inuyasha replied.

I heard Miroku bid him goodnight. I wanted to know what he meant, but I was out of luck. I dodged the opening door, and Miroku filed out. He looked around and walked away. I followed quietly.

I'll find out one way or the other.

Miroku Cris-crossed all over the West Wing. I thought he would never slow down. I was nearly at the edge of breaking down and yelling for him to pick a room and reside there, but once he finally stopped and opened a door, I was relieved. Reaching for the door knob, I was shocked when it opened and Miroku pulled me in.

"Following me Higurashi?"

I laughed, "Just so you stay outta trouble goof."

He smirked, "Well, fine then. What is it you need?"

I studied the room he chose.

The library?

I gazed at the walls filled with bookshelves. I traced each row with my fingers. Miroku's eyes bore into my cranium.

"Yes?"

"How is it that you amaze me?"

I shrugged, "I have that effect on people."

His laugh vibrated through the room, "Ah, a great sense of humor."

Smiling, I turned to him, "How am I mate for Inuyasha?"

Miroku's eyes widen a bit before he claimed he had to leave.

"No," I caught his arm, "I want to know."

"Why ask such a silly question?" He gulped.

"I, uh... Overheard?"

"Eavesdropped?"

I nodded in shame.

"Well, Inuyasha is a half-demon, as you already know, and he has to find a mate. A mate is a long-term relationship, beyond marriage. It's a bond between demon and mate. Once the two, as you say, sleep together, their bond is sealed and they are forever. No divorce, or leaving one for someone else, it is sacred and eternal."

My mouth fell, "Eternal? So, how is sex a bond?"

He smirked, "I forgot something huh? Once the two have sex, the demon buries his fangs in the nape of his chosen mate's neck and marks her. It's a way of telling other demons the mate is already combined with another demon."

I smiled, "It's romantic in a way."

"Yes, that it is," he sat down at a nearby table, "no matter what, mates always find their way to one another, without realizing it."

I grabbed a book and sat by him. Awkwardness filled the air. I opened the book to study the contents inside.

A mate? That's beyond anything I have ever encountered.

I looked sluggishly into Miroku's eyes. I could tell he was tired as well. Bag circled his eyes. I took his hand and led him to the door. Placing my had on the knob, Miroku placed his over mine. My eyes averted to his, and I smiled.

"You remind me so much of Kikyo," he confessed.

"What now?" I looked confused.

"Kikyo was Inuyasha's lover, so he told you, and I swore she was his chosen mate. They did everything together. No doubt he loved her more than life, but when he looks at you, I see love greater than anything I could ever imagine," Miroku opened the closed door to walk us out.

"But if this Kikyo girl was his lover, why didn't he mate with her?"

Miroku shrugged, "No telling, but Higurashi," he turned to me, "everything happens for a reason."

I nodded, "Of course Miroku."

How is it that he chose me?

"Kikyo was an amazing woman, full of life and joy. She did everything in her power to protect Inuyasha and myself," his eyes glazed over.

"She was kine to you, was she not?"

He nodded, "My beloved cousin. She was more so a sister to me."

He walked me to my Quarters, "Higurashi, just know that Inuyasha isn't a liar, a fraud or a bad guy. Believe it or not, he is full of love. Once Kikyo died, he lost a little of himself, but once Mojito graced him with knowledge of you, something inside of him just clicked. He ranted on about you forever. Then one day," he paused, "Mojito no longer lived among us and he knew you where hurting. He didn't want to love you. Mojito would of been heart-broken upon news of his half-brother loving the woman he was going to marry."

I gulped, "I never knew."

"And so it was to be that way," Miroku looked at me, "don't fear Inuyasha."

I laughed, "I fear nothing but fear itself."

He smiled, "Good."

He bent down and placed a kiss on my cheek, "Remember my words."

With that, he was gone. I opened the door and fell to my bed. I waited for sleep to take over as his words filled my head.

Fingers groped my sides as my hips bucked for the touch. A hand grasped my ass as words filled my ears. I moaned into the kisses planted on my neck and my lips. I rocked against his throbbing erection and his hips against my wet thighs. I waited and desired for his touch against my naked body. Just to feel his breath against my chest and his hands against my flesh tore at me like a raging bull. Fangs grazed my heated neck.

"Tell me what you desire," a gruff voice spoke.

"You," I moaned, "I desire you."

His hands lifted me to his lips. His tongue circling my breast and down my body. Wet kisses trailed across my stomach to my thighs. I bucked my hips as his mouth played a delicate game of hide-n-seek with my wet body. I could feel the throbbing erection on my foot. I played a little game of my own. Wrapping my toes around his erection, I moved them up and down. A growl escaped his lips, and the vibration tickled me.

"Don't do that love," his lips mumbled.

I sighed into his touch, yet still kept my game alive.

"That's it," he flung my hips down and buried his erection deep within my thighs.

I bucked up as the collision erupted with a scream of pleasure. I gripped his hip bones to pull him deeper within me. I felt his hot body filled me to the brim. I tried to muffle my screams, but he leaned in to me.

"Let me hear you say it," he demanded.

"Say what?" I moaned.

"Say you want me, you want this," he slammed into me to get his point across.

I screamed, "I want it!"

I moved against him, before I could scream again, he lifted my hips up to slam into me until my breath was knocked out of me. I felt his body connect with mine. Heat flared between us, and I felt the sweat build up on us. I scraped my nails down his back as he moaned into my neck. He set me down to flip me over. I felt him bury himself deeper. My body raked with pleasure.

"Tell me Higurashi," he growled speeding up.

"I wantit Inuyasha!" I screamed.

With that, he dung his fangs into my neck, adding to my delighted scream.

I flung the covers up as my body raked. I had sweat pouring down my forehead.

It was a dream?

I felt my body for my clothes. They remained the way I had left them. My body was heated by the delicious dream. I licked my lips.

Oh no.

I pushed my feet over the left side of my bed and moved to the center of the room. Water was exactly what I needed at this point in time. I reached for the content glass of water in the fridge. My slender fingers gripped the cold glass. I felt the contents slowly glide freely down my throat. It felt great. I set the empty glass down and made my way to the shower. I turned the cold handle all the way to the left. The shower head spurted a bit before the water made its way out. I took off the clothes I had dressed in the night before, and I crawled into the cold water. I shivered a bit, but the heat slowly drained of my wet body. I felt steamy and dirty. Like the dream was suppose to occur. I leaned against the wall and washed every crook and cranny of my figure. I made sure to get the non existent hanyou sweat off of me, even the non existent sex smell.

Non existent.... is that really what I want it to be?

I shook the thought from my mind and continued to wash my body. I finished my hair in a quick manner. I dashed out of the shower, wrapping only a towel around me, and quickly dressed myself. Even on a vacation, I was still in Military Mode. I flung a tee-shirt that barely hugged my chest and a pair of jeans that barely flared at the ankles. I threw on some tennis shoes. Checking out myself in the full-length mirror, I noticed my hair was wet and messy. I tried to blow-dry it, but to no avail.

Screw it.

I threw my head back and tied the tangled mess into a bun.

A messy bun. I glanced at the blinking clock on my bed-side table. My head spun.

It's 5:45 AM Higurashi, why are you awake?

I want it Inuyasha!

Oh right.

Ugh, I fell to the bed. Life was getting rather complicated. I have destroyed thousands of youkai, saved countless lives and took out various demon villages. I am devoted as a Sniper, and I have received numerous appriciations to many people across the U.S. Why is this one man ruining all I have done to make it this far?

A mate my ass. Who does he think he is?

Mojito's half-brother.

Curse that vile half-demon. I tossed my pillow across the room. Maybe Miroku was up to talking some more. I opened the door to reveal a very empty hallway. I studied the black linings of the brown halls. It was so bleak, how come I never noticed it before? I shrugged it off. Miroku's room was somewhere in the West Wing. I'm sure of it. I dodged the on-coming guards and ducked into a unlocked room. I turned to find Miroku in an odd position.

Eww, what the hell?

"Yes, Miroku. Oh.... GOD!"

"Don't move your hips, I'll cum darling."

"Just a little..... shit.... YES!"

"Want it deeper? Huh? You want to feel me in your stomach?"

"Like that!"

"Hell yeah! Just like that ba...."

Horror filled my eyes. I became immobilized. I reached for the door, but I had drawn his attention.

"K..Kagome?"

I turned my eyes to the wall, "Eh, hey Miroku."

"Who is she?" A woman asked.

"Ugh, shit," Miroku got up, not even caring his erection was still showing.

The woman threw him a pillow, "Miroku?"

I blushed, "This is awkward."

"No kidding," the woman stood, wrapping a sheet around her, "now, who are you?"

My words slurred, "Higome," I hit myself in the forehead, "Higurashi, Kagome. Sniper of the OCC Operation."

The woman smiled, "Sango Hoshi, Miroku's wife."

I held out my hand, "Nice to meet you. I'm sorry about walking in on you, but I had to sneek past the guards on this floor. Exactly how did you manage?"

Sango smiled, "Well, Miroku had me hide out in this room since we both snuck past to see Inuyasha. I was told not to move out of this room. I waited, and he came back just before midnight last night."

I nodded, "Of course, he was explaining demon mates to me."

"He told me," Sango glanced at her trembling husband, "but I thought he was off groping women."

I laughed, "So it seems."

Miroku chimed in, "Not to be anti-social," Miroku glanced from me to Sango, "but we were kinda trying to have sex. I haven't been intimate with Sango since we arrived."

I nodded, "Of course, I'll be on my way. Nice to meet you Sango. I have to say, it was a lot nicer than how I met Miroku."

Miroku gulped and Sango hit him.

"Nice to meet you as well," Sango replied as Miroku hit the floor.

I closed the door and sighed.

That was very disturbing.

I shuddered off the image.

I found myself guide my way to the West Wing Cells.

No matter what, mates find their way to one another, without realizing it.

I shook it off and walked past the guards. I didn't have to explain myself to them. I demanded the cell open. They did as told and let me in. Before I walked by the guard slipped me a gun.

"That won't help with this one," I said.

"No, but just so you're safe," the olive haired man from before.

I smiled and took the gun, "Okay, thank you."

He winked and let me through. I slid the gun in the back of my jeans and covered it with my tee. I saw Inuyasha sitting restlessly on the futon he called a bed. I walked to the window and sighed.

"Are you just gonna sulk around forever?" I asked.

"Feh,"

"That doesn't answer my question," I turned to him.

"Bitch leave me be," he laid down and stuck his hands behind his head.

"Bastard," I sat down on the bed as well.

"Get off wench," he tried to kick me off, but I pushed him away.

"Stop," he picked me up and tossed me on the floor.

I got up and kicked him in the side, "Dumb-ass."

Inuyasha grunted, but gripped my arm hurling me onto the bed. My head hit the back wall and I sighed. The gun fell on to the bed, and it would lay forgotten.

"Here we go," I shot up attacking Inuyasha into the floor.

He easily pushed me off and sent a kick against my legs. I hit the floor. I jumped back up and flared my arms out. He went flying into the door. I heard knocking.

"Is everything okay Higurashi?"

I laughed, "But of course!"

"Very well," the man was gone.

"You're lucky," Inuyasha smiled.

"Why? Cause a guard inturrupted me beating your ass?"

Inuyasha smirked, "No, because I was close to beating your ass my love."

I shivered, "Really now?"

I didn't realize how close we had gotten to one another, but when I opened my eyes, I was nose to nose with Inuyasha. I could feel his breath fall across my lips. I wasn't going to give him the sastifation he wanted.

"You think you're so much better than me because you're half-demon," I sneered.

Half-Demon.

"How come you never call me a hanyou?"

I laughed, "Because you are a half-demon. I use the term hanyou only when I feel the need to piss you off."

"Well, why not then?"

I shrugged, "Being a half-demon doesn't mean you can treat me like shit."

Inuyasha grunted, "So what? I should just start being nice to you? Bow down to you? Let you walk across me like the scum you think I am?"

I was angry, "Damn you." I rolled my chocolate orbs and grunted.

"That was un-lady like, Higurashi," he grinned.

"You're point is?" I laughed, "As if you didn't already know, I'm not like the other woman you meet. I'm a lot different. I choose to be a strong, independent, woman. I like the feeling of knowing no man can trample across me. Being a sniper for the OCC Military Operations, consume me. I know who I am and exactly what I want."

Inuyasha stepped closer to me as if to touch me, "You're exactly what you say you are wench."

Throwing that in there seemed to ruin my moment, "You're an ass."

His laugh surrounded me, "That I am, but you're a bitch."

"No," I smirked, "I'm the bitch."

I felt his arms wrap around me, "I don't want to love you Kagome."

My name rolled off his lips, "What?"

Grinning he continued, "I don't want to love you, but I can't help it. Seeing you after all these years, just opens a part of me I wanted to stay hidden. I hate you, you know that right?"

I smiled, "I hate you as well."

"I can't stand you, I despise you."

"I loath you. Everything about you makes me sick," I mumbled.

Every word we spoke, brought us closer, "I hate the way you smile."

Closer.

"I hate the way you laugh."

Closer.

"I hate the way you smell."

Closer.

"I hate that I love you," he mumbled and crashed his lips to mine.

I lost my breath. I cursed against his lips. I gave in. I let the heat wash over me. I let the flames of his, what did he call it again? Oh yeah, hate, consumed me. I knew it was over. I was in too deep, and I knew it. I let the feelings wash over me. I tried to register what I was feeling, but once I closed my eyes and let him engulf me, I saw Mojito dead body flash before me. I snapped my eyes open and pushed the half-demon away. I leaned against the wall as terror crossed my features.

"What is it now wench?"

I reached for the door, "I can't stand you," I mumbled.

"I know," I felt him eyes bore on me, "I hate you as well."

I cursed him.

Mojito, can't I move on?

"If you hate me so much, leave," his voice low and cold, " and don't come back, Higurashi."

I flung the door open, "Miroku said mates find their way to one another, without realizing it."

He grunted, "What makes you think I'll take you as a mate?"

I looked over my shoulder, my bangs covering my eyes, "I bet."

With that spoken, I left. I didn't turn around, I didn't care I he was in there alone, and I didn't care that I actually have feelings welling up inside me. Feelings of hate, depression, anger, and what was this other feeling?

It couldn't be....

Love.
