Kagome, an Inuyokai?

Chapter 9

Kagome sat in her room, Setsusaiga had recommended she spend time trying to calm her beast, during meditation before learning how to shift later today with Sesshomaru, especially since they didn't see eye to eye on the subject of Inuyasha. Dinner last night had been a disaster, Inuyasha had made a point to push the fact that he was to mate her in Sesshomaru's face every chance he got. He even had a smug look on his face when he was sat.

Kagome knew even Setsusaiga disagreed with her on her decision. She didn't understand it, if she could be with Inuyasha she would, she loved him. She hadn't asked for this transformation, and she would make her own choices, thank you very much.

As she took slow deep breaths willing her mind to still, and she found herself facing down her beast, which to her mind's eye appeared to be a dog that was as tall as she was.

Her beast growled lightly at her, she reached up and scratched the dog's ears. It was calming. Why do you want the hanyou for a mate? He doesn't respect us. He wants to possess us not love us. Why can't you see this. Since we have what he desired for most of his life he wants to make the one he blames it on miserable, which means you and Sesshomaru.

Kagome shook her head, its not like that, he has always been possessive of me even before Naraku died. Especially when another male was around.

Her beast whined, even the wolf prince would be preferable to the hanyou, he at least has more loyalty and devotion, Inuyasha will betray you. The dragon sees it, I see it our pack sees it, even Sesshomaru sees it, but you are blind to it we do not understand why.

Setsusaiga approached the two, Beast, I believe this is called seeing with rose colored glasses, Inuyasha is her first love, and though he is a complete ass, she cannot see his faults for what they are, we can only hope she finds out in time.

Kagome sighed it annoyed her when the two talked about her like she wasn't there but then again the beast was a part of her.

The beast nodded, I know dragon, I know, Kagome it is time for you to go meet Sesshomaru, the energies of our body are ready.

Kagome sighed and nodded before returning to the conscious world. She got herself dressed in a tank top and pants, with no shoes, then drapped her mokomoko around her shoulders then headed out to the location Sesshomaru had designated.

It saddened her that they had not had a chance to talk since she had seen Inuyasha. She found him standing on a cliff looking out to the water. Kagome knew he was sad, she was sad as well. When she moved her hand to her neck where two necklaces should have been she only found the nearly complete jewel, and she remembered Inuyasha had shattered the necklace Sesshomaru had given her.

When she approached, he turned around, she met his eyes which held nothing but sadness.

"Are you ready Kagome," he asked.

She nodded.

"Mostly this is simply a matter of releasing your youki, let your beast have control and it will show you," he explained.

Kagome sighed and willed her beast to show her what to to, it gave her a doggy grin, and took control.

Sesshomaru watched as her youki and miko energy expanded and a pillar of light shown around her. When the light cleared she stood in all her glory, upon her brow was an interesting mark. It was a pink circle. He assumed it was the shikon no tama, there were also silver stripes on her cheeks, she watched him. He looked into her red eyes and knew her beast was in control.

Kagome bit her lip in her mind, maybe letting her beast in control wasn't such a good idea.

It will be fine, your beast will not mate Sesshomaru, they will play but nothing more, Setsusaiga stated.

Sesshomaru shifted as well and the two beasts looked at each other, he was impressed that she was able to do this so readily. He growled playfully and slowly approached her, she growled back and dodged away, he chased and pinned her, then she pushed him off her and chased him. Then it came to tackling and wrestling, nipping and biting.

This went on all day, only stopping every so often to hunt for food and get a drink.

They were back on the same cliff they had started, both exhausted, they lay watching the sunset next to each other with Sesshomaru having his neck over hers.

Suddenly a flaming bird approached, both recognized the bird as Sesshomaru's general. They sat up, and stretched, when Wolfstar landed and shifted he sighed, "I need both of you in humanoid form."

They shifted, Kagome glad to have control back, she would be listening to Inuyasha's shit later anyway with being covered in Sesshomaru's scent.

Sesshomaru looked at his general, he had stated they would start returning once full dark set in.

Wolfstar nodded, "you both need to return, Inuyasha is going berserk looking for Kagome, saying that you are trying to steal her or some such nonsense which is why you haven't returned. He has already severely wounded many of the guards with Tetsusaiga."

Sesshomaru sighed, "we will return. If any of the guards die he will pay for it in his own blood, go see what you can do to stop him until we get back."

The general bowed and shifted back to his true form and flew back to the palace.

Kagome frowned as Sesshomaru turned to her.

"Kagome, no matter what you choose you are always welcome back here, my mate or not you are pack, and pack looks out for one another," Sesshomaru stated.

She smiled slightly, "thank you Sesshomaru."

He nodded, "since I am still faster I will return us to the palace," he stepped to her and put his arm around her waist and shifted them to his energy ball to make it back faster.

The first thing Kagome smelled when she was back to her form was blood and lots of it. She moved away from Sesshomaru and went to where she smelled it and found Inuyasha trying to get past a guard.

When he laid eyes on her he smiled, and went to her, "What the hell bitch you reek of the bastard."

Kagome narrowed her eyes, "He was training me in my full form."

He rolled his eyes, "feh."

Sesshomaru approached them, "Kagome since you made your choice to stay with him, I request you remove him from the grounds, he is not welcome here any longer, You, Sango, Miroku and Shippou are welcome to stay, though he has worn out his welcome."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and sheathed Tetsusaiga, "doesn't matter to me I want to be out of here anyway, come on Kagome."

Kagome took his hand and followed him out of the palace, she looked back and Sesshomaru thought he saw sadness in her eyes at leaving.

Sesshomaru bowed his head, and went inside. Sakura watched from the shadows, she did not like what was happening, the only one happy with this situation seemed to be Inuyasha. She quickly went to her storage chest, giving a nod to her roommate, an older kitsune, who simply nodded back, while Sakura took out the bag she had packed the night before.

Then she slipped out of the palace and followed Inuyasha and Kagome.
