"Great." Koga announced, "Well, as the lord of the west, and your date being the guest of honor, and you as my date. You shall ride in mine. The rest shall share the other two." Koga said leading Yorri and Neomikyu out of the doors. He led them to the carriage in the front and helped them in; he waited till you were in to join you. He took the seat next to Yorri as you sat next to Neomikyu.

"So why did you save me?" Koga asked. Neomikyu simply shrugged as if not knowing herself. "But you didn't have to. So why?" She simply shrugged again and stared out the opening in the carriage. He seemed to be a little frustrated by her actions of silence. You even seemed curious to why she acted so.

~Your p.o.v~

'Ugh why did I risk my tail for that wolf.' You rested your head on your hand as you stared out the small opening near you. When you should be happy you were filled with doubt, and worry. Yorri noticed it too, and gave you a questioning look but you smiled and waved her off. You took a deep breath of the fresh air glad to feel the crispness of it fill your lungs. Though you wanted to skin him alive as he continued to bombard you with questions of why you did what you did. You rolled your eyes at him and he huffed at you and turned his attention to Yorri.

"So Yorri, what's your family like?" He asked. You glanced at her for a moment and she look sadden.

"I-I don't know. My mother and father were murdered when I was still a pup. My brother disappeared when I was five, and the only other person that tried to take care of me hid me away in a hidden cave to face an army that took her away." She said deeply in emotional pain. 'Oh my how sad I never knew.'

You took her hand and offered a warm smile which she gladly gave one in return. For a long period of time no one spoke.

~Two hours later~

You arrived at a castle of great beauty. The surrounding garden was similar to Sesshomaru but much more decorated. It was beautiful but it didn't appeal to you like Sesshomaru's garden did. It just made you feel as if you were back at your brother's castle. Too elegant.

"Shall we proceed?"Koga said as the group joined outside of the carriages. Once together you and the girls walked up in a group chatting and giggling. Leaving the boys confused and shouting, "Hey we are early for the party starts in three hours." You smiled as you saw that the sun was still in the sky. "You girls can go hang out in the den." He led you into a grand entrance then to a room off to the side. The room had a fireplace with a bunch of pillows surrounding it. The room was wonderfully decorated, and the girls were in awe. It was captivating the way the colors and plants fought to win your eyes. You awed at the magnificent portraits of landscapes and great heroes. You and the rest of the girls sat on the pillows as Kagome asked Koga to start a fire.

Soon you were all talking up a storm the guys though were no where in the room. 'Good. It's nice to have girl talk.'

"Oh my god. I can't believe how well you and Koga hit it off." Kagome squealed.

"Not me, I wanted a challenge not a given, but he is sweet." Yorri replied.

"Wait till you meet that wolf princess." You chimed. Sango laughed a bit and Yorri scoffed at that and smiled a devils smile.

"She would have a lot of competing to do." She smirked. "See I'd get along with Koga if there was a challenge to getting him." She closed her eyes and held a serious face as she busted in laughter.

Moments later after continuous laughter, and giggling, they turned the conversation against Kagome. Yorri was first, "So why do you deal with Inuyasha's crap. I mean you are a priestess, you could do soo much better."

Kagome raised her hands in defense and blushed, "I-I mean Inuyasha isn't that bad, is he?" She looked confused at the last part.

"Come on you let him treat you like your property but he shows no ownership." Amikyu explained.

"Yeah. I mean he doesn't act like a lover. But the bossy controlling part." Nikyu added.

Kagome was shocked. "He, I, but he."

"Stop defending him Kagome. He so doesn't deserve it." Yorri interrupted. You stayed quiet in fear they may lecture you about Sesshomaru.

"Now, now Yorri he does have his moments." Kagome said evenly as her cheeks blushed. She looked down in shame. "You're right he does treat me like property." She started crying and screamed the word 'sit'. Out of nowhere you heard a crash and a groan.

Inuyasha was soon in the room fuming with rage, "WHAT THE HELL DID I DO NOW?" He roared.

"SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT." Kagome roared back tears streaming down her face. "You are a JEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRK!"

Inuyasha groaned as he was face down, "What the hell did I do?" He asked in a small pained voice.

"You treat me like I'm property and you boss me around but I am not dating you. But you seem to think you can control every aspect of my life." She snapped storming out of the room. Inuyasha was confused and followed Kagome. Soon Ginta and Hakaku walked in taking Nikyu and Amikyu away to 'get to know them better'. You rolled your eyes as Yorri and Sango was also collected.

You laid on the mound of empty pillows listening to the silence of the room. Soon, very soon you heard footsteps. Someone sat next to you and started petting your hair. "Are you ill?" Sweet little Rin asked as she petted you.

"No my sweet. I am not ill." You replied sitting up and pulling Rin into your lap as you softly brushed her hair with your fingers.

"Still here?" Rin asked, "But you're all alone."

"Yes I am but that is ok, I guess." You smiled softly and your kit and started humming a tune your brother used to sing to you. "You know more kids will be here to play with but no matter what happens I want you to stay with Shippo." You said sternly.

"Why?"

"So I know you are safe. These are fellow demon kids and not only wolf cubs but other demon kids as well." You told her then placed a small motherly kiss on the top of her head.

"You are so damn motherly." It was Sesshomaru's voice as he walked in sitting next to you. You looked dumbfounded as you stared at him. He glanced down at you and you reverted your eyes to the fire.

~Sesshomaru's p.o.v~

You glanced at her and she quickly moved her gaze to the fire. She was blushing as if caught doing some unspeakable act. You smirked at her and followed her gaze to the fire, "You understand that the 'ball' is starting soon."

"Yes, you know I'm not an idiot." She snapped then said sweetly to Rin, "Go find Shippo."

"Okay." She smiled and hugged Neomikyu, then you and left.

You couldn't help but look at Neomikyu again. "Come." You ordered.

"No."

"Don't defy me Neomikyu." You said sternly.

"I am not your lover or property, so no. I don't want to see all those people." She argued.

You rose to your feet and grabbed her elbow, forcing her to her feet. "What the hell is wrong with you? First your nice now this." She snapped.

"Come, now." You started dragging her to where Koga had shown you the ballroom and as expected demons were already in the grand hall. You moved your hand from her elbow to her waist and pulled her close. 'Her fragrance is delectable.' 'Shut it beast.' 'Soon she will be mine.' 'No.' you argued with your inner beast. 'Like you have your choice. Soon I will be in control. Heheh.' 'NO.' 'You will lose control soon.' 'Damn you shut up. I will not allow you to have her.' You roared at it. 'Aww not even a wittle bit of fun.' It whined. 'Not with her.' Who knows she might like it, maybe even love it. You never know.' "I said No."

"Fine I won't have a drink." Neomikyu snapped as you walked into the ballroom. You were so busy arguing with your inner beast you lost track on reality. And you guessed you argued with Neomikyu about something that you didn't realized. But she looked irritated.

"I- uh." You stammered but gave up. 'I won't apologize.' 'Lose the girl then.' It smirked, 'or let me fix it. You'll have fun I promise.' 'No.'

You continued to walk in the ballroom till you saw everyone but Yorri and Kagome dancing. "I mean would you care to dance?" You quickly said to cover your argument.

Her eyes lit up as she turned to face you, "Really?" She asked hopeful. You grabbed her hand and moved to the middle of the ball room floor. You held her close as you began to dance to the music that rang through the crowded room. You dipped her carefully bringing her back, soon twirling her. She was smiling as you danced together and you smiled a small smile. 'She truly is something.' You thought. 'Can I have her?' 'No.' You stayed dancing secretly wanting the moment to last forever. As the crowd seemed to just watch you as you gracefully glided upon the ballroom floor. But to you it seemed as if it was just you dancing with the beautiful Neko, no one else but you and her. 'MUST HAVE THE NEKO!'

~Your p.o.v~

You were shocked by his attitude change, and his impulse to dance with you. But you didn't care as much as you would like for you were just happy he was dancing with you.

He pulled you closer to him and whispered into your ear, "Kiss me, Neomikyu." He ordered softly in your ear. You pulled back from him and gave him a look that read 'what the hell?' But you noticed his eyes were tinted red. You tried to get free from his grasp but you failed miserably. The arm on your waist, wrapped around it forcing you closer. His other hand was on your cheek holding you still. 'His inner demon. What does it want?' "Neomikyu I order you to kiss me." It growled low and impatient.

"No. You are not Sesshomaru. You are his inner demon." You snapped as you stomped on his foot. You ran off to find Yorri and Kagome. "Help me." You whispered and without a moments delay you three were in the garden running to the other side. You three collapsed under a willow tree that hid you completely. Yorri sprinkled some yellow powder on herself, Kagome, and you and asked for the scent of the willow.

"What's wrong, Neomikyu? I was watching you dance happily and then you are running from him." Kagome asked in a concerned voice.

"His inner demon decided to pay a little visit." You groaned. You propped yourself to rest on your legs and bowed your head. "Damn and here I thought nothing could go wrong."

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.

"Sesshy-poo is on his annual time were a demon's inner demon gets control, and doesn't leave till it gets what it wants." Yorri explained. "Any girl is endangered usually, but now the demon only wants one."

"DAMN. Yorri get Nikyu and Amikyu. Kagome, go and tell Koga I had an emergency. I will wait here." You ordered and they nodded getting up to do the tasks at hand. Soon you were alone under the tree silently panicking. "DAMN IT!" You roared banging your fist to the ground.

Footsteps were approaching you fast, it was Sesshomaru. You jumped in the tree pressing yourself trying to blend with the branches of the willow tree. "Neomikyu. COME OUT!" It was defiantly his inner demon. 'Damn it. What do I do?' You thought. 'You stay hidden. He can not scent you for you match the scent of the tree.' Inu-Tasha said sternly, 'I fear my son has lost control.' 'WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?' You cried in your mind, 'THAT I'M STUCK IN THIS DAMN TREE. I hate you.' 'ME I CAN'T CONTROL HIM!' You rolled your eyes as you glanced down to find Sesshomaru staring, red eyes, at you. "Found you."

"Damn." You squealed as you were pulled out of the branches and pinned to the ground. He used his body to prevent you from escape, pressing himself on top of you. He held your hands with one of his, above your head. Wide-eyed as he began exploring your body. His red eyes held still at your lips as he forcefully and possessively claimed your mouth. You struggled to get free, but he held fast to your hands and waist. "Sesshom-" You tried to say as he cut you off.

"Mine." The demon said demandingly and lustfully.

"NO!" You managed to scream. He stopped to stare into your green eyes with his red ones, and sneered.

"Yes!" He growled lowly, kissing your neck following your collar-bone. "And I will have my way with your little perfect body." He rasped against your shaking pale skin. Your eyes grew horrified at his words, and you began to fight harder. This made him furious as he dragged you to your feet both of his hands gripping your arms as he pushed you against the tree. He held your arms against the sides of the tree and forced you to spread your legs with his. He began kissing your neck again. You tried pleading with the demon, but nothing worked, he just continued to claim your neck. Soon he jerked releasing your arms and falling to the ground. Nikyu, Yorri, Kagome, Amikyu, and Sango were now in site and it was Yorri's fox mallet used to knock out Sesshomaru, and his inner demon.

Nikyu wrapped you in her arms making shhing sounds and telling you its ok. She wiped away your tears as you started to sob.

Amikyu and Yorri grabbed Sesshomaru and you all started to head to the carriages to go home. Koga Miroku and Inuyasha soon appeared glancing questioning looks at you, who was still sobbing, then Amikyu and Yorri carrying Sesshomaru.

Once you were in the carriage you tried to calm yourself, glad Yorri Nikyu and Kagome were the ones with you as Amikyu rode with the passed out Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and a drunken Miroku. Soon you were at Sesshomaru's castle, you and Nikyu went to get your sword, so you could leave, while Sesshomaru was being carried to his room. Rin ran in and started begging you not to leave but you told her you had no choice.
