Sesshomaru's Wrath

Two furred triangles sitting on top of a rich mound of silver hair, twitched slightly as the sounds of the waking village filtered their way to them. The sounds of roosters singing to the rising sun announced to everyone still abed that it was the start of a new day and that it was time to wake up. Pale lids opened to reveal stunning amber orbs, still glossy with sleep. "Stupid chickens" Inuyasha muttered from his spot against the wall of Kaede's hut.

He looked around, taking note that his pack was still asleep. Rustling to his right brought his attention to the tatami mat the covered the entrance of the room in which Kaede resided in. He watched as the old miko stepped into the main room and began the task of lighting a fire. "I thought today was the wench's turn to cook breakfast." Kaede looked up from what she was doing and scowled slightly. "Inuyasha, ye should have more respect for one that was once of your pack and yes it is Kagome's turn but seeing as she has guests, she might not be able to come." She told the inu hanyou offhandedly.

"Feh" Inuyasha replied turning his head to look at the miko sleeping at his feet. His eyes softened considerably as he looked at the woman he had always loved. He was about to reach a hand out to brush away a loose strand when the sudden flares of five auras came within range of his senses. He recognized the auras of Shippo, Lord Stick-up-his-butt, Lord Stick-up-his-butt's brat and toad but not of the other individual that accompanied them. Instantly a furious growl erupted from his throat at the thought that his brother had done something to Kagome.

He jumped to his feet in one fluid motion causing the rest, who had awakened at the sound of his growl, to do the same. "What is it, Inuyasha?" Sango asked as she reached for oversized boomerang. "Someone I don't know is coming over here with Sesshomaru, Shippo, and those of Sesshomaru's pack. I don't sense Kagome anywhere." He bit out as he felt them come closer. He was about to put his hand on Tetsusaiga when a smooth feminine voice said, "Don't even think about it Inuyasha."

Inuyasha paused at the sound of the voice he could easily recognize. Dark brows furrowed together in a scowl of confusion. His ability to smell and sense auras told him that the young miko from the future was nowhere near them and yet his ears told him that she was close. "Kagome?" he asked, a hint of his confusion leaking into his normally loud voice. Golden eyes watched as Shippo and "Sesshomaru's Brat", as his brain had conveniently named her, walked into the hut, followed by the "ugly toad", and finally Lord Stick-up-his-butt and a beautiful dark inu.

Honey irises widened at the sight of such a beautiful female, his tanned cheeks staining with a slight red tint. He drank in the sight of her long ink colored hair and silver blue streaks to her matching eyes and markings. Her shapely body so deliciously wrapped in her simple kimono to her creamy skin and finally to her tail elegantly wrapped around her in a similar fashion to his brother's.

Sesshomaru watched as the hanyou whelp ogled his intended and bit back the urge to rip the boy to shreds. Instead he turned his cold, calculating eyes to the others of the half breed's pack stared at the female they had known for so long and yet had no clue who she was. Feeling Kagome shift from his side, he snapped his attention to her as he watched her seductive little body make its way to the old miko, her clawed hand outstretched to take the pot from the human's wrinkled hand. "I'll take that Kaede. It is my turn to make breakfast after all." He heard her say.

The shocked feeling that radiated off of the others was so thick in the air he could almost taste it. Ignoring the humans, he made his way over to the furthest corner from Inuyasha and his once dead miko and took a seat; Rin, Shippo, and Jaken immediately taking places close to him. "Kagome child, is it really ye?" Kaede's stunned voice rang out clearly in the silence. Kagome nodded and raised a clawed hand to the others. "Yes Kaede, it is me and before you guys start asking questions, I'll tell you everything as I make breakfast. Now sit down, be quiet, and don't say a word until I'm through."

As she sat down and cut up everything she would need for the morning meal, she retold the story that she had told Sesshomaru the night before, leaving out anything they had no business in knowing. As she spoke, she mixed up the ingredients and used her demonic hearing to gauge the reactions of her friends and reluctant acquaintances. By the time she came to the rest of her story, the food was finished and she was passing out bowls of stew for everyone. She paid them no mind as she walked over to Rin and Jaken and handed them their bowls before returning and grabbing two more.

She handed one to Shippo as she passed him and handed down to Sesshomaru. "I don't know if you want any, but I wanted to offer just in case." Sesshomaru kept his face void of emotion, but the glow of his golden eyes as he met her gaze and the caress of his hand against hers as he accepted it from her informed her how pleased he was with her considerate act. Kagome had returned to serve herself a bowl when Sango spoke up. "All this time, you've been keeping this from all of us. Why? Didn't you trust us?"

Kagome silently moved over to Sesshomaru and took her place by his side. "It has nothing to do with trust Sango. When all of this happened we were all injured and tired. I was suddenly given a new set of powers and a brand new body. I didn't want to be a danger to myself or to anyone else. I wanted to have the liberty to get to know what this new form could do without getting killed on my first day. Then everything else happened and I distanced myself from everyone with the exception of Shippo and Sesshomaru-sama's pack."

She paused for a moment at the discontented growl the demon beside her made when she called him so formally. She gave him an apologetic smile, much to the others confusion. She turned to the others once again, "Afterwards, it was all just a matter of letting Sesshomaru know about my secret and getting his approval. He's my alpha and as such he has the right to be the first to know." Inuyasha growled at Shippo at that last part. "Since when is he your alpha and why the heck didn't you tell us about this you little runt?"

Kagome growled deep in her throat. "First of all, Inuyasha, Shippo is my son and you have no right to speak to him in such a manner. Second, I never told Shippo because I didn't want to you to suspect anything and harass him. I was protecting him from you. Third, had I chosen to tell my son my secret, he wouldn't have had to answer to you. He is a part of Sesshomaru's pack, not yours and interfering with members of pack not your own without the alpha's permission would have cost you your life. Finally, I have been a part of his pack about a month after he joined us."

Inuyasha rumbled a threatening growl as he stared at the woman. Sesshomaru answered with a resonating growl of his own, the others trembling in its ferocity. His youkai uncoiled from deep within his being and pressed against Inuyasha's body, suffocating him in its intensity. "You dumb wench. I wonder if you had to roll over on your back to make this bastard so protective of you. Why didn't I receive the same treatment? It would have made all that wasted time and energy worth it." Inuyasha suddenly found himself lifted from his place on the ground and tossed out of the hut.

His body skid and rolled across the ground until he came to a stop. He could barely move his head upwards to watch as his half-brother walked out of the hut, having the common sense to not damage the old miko's. Sesshomaru released his suppressed rage and appeared before his brother in a silver flash. Clawed fingers, glowing green, wrapped around his thick neck. Inuyasha released a grunt as he was slammed repeatedly into the ground with crushing force.

"I never could make out if you were born an idiot or if you simply acted like an idiot because you had nothing better to do. Father would be rolling in his grave in shame of what you have become hanyou." He growled as he slammed him back into his three foot hole. "He ruined the honor of our clan and left the western lands on the brink of war. My mother, his mate, was left an emotional mess and at death's door in an assassination attempt gone wrong. He gave his life for you and your worthless mother while I was left to pick up after the mess he made and all his rash decisions have to show for are his, is you." He slammed his once more to the ground then tossed him across the field and into a tree.

The tachi, who had rushed out of the hut after Sesshomaru, remained silent as they heard what was being said. KIkyo moved forward as she watched Inuyasha sail through the air and straight into a tree. She notched an arrow and pulled the bow string back. "Take another step towards him and I'll kill you." She told him in her cold voice. Sesshomaru glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He watched with interest as Kagome pressed a blue tip to the bowstring and watched it turn to ice and snap to pieces. She pressed the clawed tips of her other hand to the back of Kikyo's neck, chilling her skin but otherwise doing nothing.

"You would do well in watching how you speak to my intended. I know that you know pack laws as nearly as well as I do. Let's let our alphas handle this and not make it worse." She told Kikyo in a calm voice. Kikyo glared at her, but lowered for bow to her side. "Intended?! Since when?" Inuyasha cried out as he struggled to stand from his spot. Sesshomaru smirked at the enraged brother. "As of this morning hanyou. I really must thank you for being an incompetent alpha Inuyasha. You pushed away not only a good and loyal packmate but also an incredible woman. If it weren't for your disloyalty and your crude and insulting mannerisms, I would never have come to know her priceless value. Now, she is mine." He finished with a pleased rumble.

He turned away from him. "I will not end your life Inuyasha, you have received punishment enough. Stay away from my intended and from my pack. Any affairs that you may have with them wil come through me. Disobey and you will forfeit your life. You have been warned." He turned his back to them and headed back to the path that lead to his future mate's home. "Jaken, Rin come." He said over his shoulder, knowing that Kagome would follow on her own. Kagome glanced at Shippo started after them, her son s step behind her. With a wave of their hand to their friends, they disappeared as a whole into the forest and out of sight.
