Her fear lasted a total of one second before she growled, "What did you just call me?"

"My bitch."

Those red eyes were boring into her, demanding her submission. However, Kagome had spent a better time of her life in the modern era. She didn't do submission.

One hand on his chest, she scowled and pushed.

He was like a damn wall.

However, she was stubborn. Using both her hands, she tried her best to push him hard enough to make him over. She didn't stand a chance.

Her face red with exertion, she snarled, "I am not a bitch."

He leaned back puzzled and then sniffed her. "You are my bitch."

"I am not –"She began, hotly, but then paused.

Bitch.

He was a dog.

So if he was calling her his bitch, then did he mean-?

She scowled at him. As monstrous as those red eyes were, she knew he wouldn't harm her. But that didn't mean he could go around calling her his bitch.

"Now you listen here, Seshoumaru!"

He looked curiously at her finger in his face. Was she scolding him?

"The next time you call me your bitch, you and I will have the MOTHER of all fights! You will not call me your bitch, or your woman, or whatever name that comes into your head! ESPECIALLY in front of Inuyasha. I have a name. You gave me that name and I happen to like it."

As her rant subsided, her studied her angry form in silence and then cocked his head, "But you are my bitch."

She lost it. Poking him with her finger, she snarled, "Calling me a bitch is an insult, you ass! It's rude, and mean."

That finger was interesting him in ways it shouldn't. The red in his eyes grew more dominant as his thought process intensified. And then he took the finger in his mouth and sucked hard on it.

Kagome froze.

As he sucked on it again, those cerulean blue eyes darkened, "S-Seshou, don't."

He sucked harder and a moan escaped her lips as all the fight left her. What was he doing to her?

Her knees felt weak and he watched her with those blood red eyes. His entire aura radiated danger and yet she was so drawn to him that she couldn't help herself. He released her finger and grabbing her by her hair, pulled her towards him in a possessive gesture. She was completely helpless, enslaved in his thrall.

Hard male lips slanted over hers, and softened. He tasted, teased and played, till she let out a gasp. Taking advantage of her momentary lapse, he invaded her mouth. His grip on her hair tightened, bordering on pleasure and pain, asserting his dominance in the relationship, as he explored her mouth. Lost to her baser instincts, she tried to kiss back, but he was in no mood to let her play. She had challenged him. He would teach her who she belonged to.

One hand splayed over her throat in a possessive move, the other gripping her hair, keeping her in place, he showed her exactly how much that child she had known had changed, how he had now become a man who wanted to fully claim her in front of the world.

Kagome did not fight his claim. She had always known that she belonged to Seshoumaru, just like the proud inuyoukai belonged to her. But she didn't plan on making his life any easy. As she pulled away from him to breathe, he started on her neck.

Licking, sucking, marking.

He released her hair, and grabbed onto that tiny waist. She wasn't protesting. His beast was pleased with the thought but his humanoid self kept arguing, trying to break out. She would hate him later!

'She is ours. She understands.'

'She is still new to this. She needs to understand.'

The beast growled in his mind not understanding why his humanoid self was so reluctant to take her when she was willing.

Kagome froze in his arms and pulled back.

He snarled.

"Oh, shut up. Can't you hear that?"

Seshoumaru stilled and scented the air. He frowned.

It was Inuyasha. Something was wrong with him.

The red receded from his eyes and golden eyes blinked, "Inuyasha is injured."

At her horrified look, he took in her appearance. Her hair was mussed, her cheeks flushed and her mouth swollen. He refused to look at her neck. The beast was pleased.

'She is covered in our scent.'

'You seem to forget that she happens to have a temper.'

Kagome ran a hand through her hair, trying to straighten it out, "Where is he?"

Her worry made him raise a brow and he stood up swiftly, "You will remain here."

With that he was vanished.

Kagome stoked the fire and peered at the woods. Raising a hand to her lips, she touch touched them. She loved Seshoumaru. She always had, even when she had been a child. He had been her whole world. So many years; She hadn't seen him for so many years but a few days in his presence had shown her that her love for him hadn't diminished or dampened. It had grown, developed.

She felt at home with him. A sense of peace she had never managed to achieve anywhere else, with no one else.

Rustling.

She looked towards the trees as Seshoumaru emerged with Inuyasha. The hanyou was pale, his face devoid of all color.

"Inuyasha?"

He slumped to the ground as soon as Seshoumaru released him.

Kagome immediately tried to give him some support but he made a face at her, "Fuck, bitch! Get away from me. You're covered in the bastard's scent."

He made a gagging sound.

Kagome slapped him in the back of his head, "Watch that mouth of yours or I'll wash it with soap."

He sneered, "Fuck, you even hit like a girl."

Despite his taunting words, his breath was shallow and he kept one hand on his stomach.

Frowning, Kagome tried to push off his haori, ignoring his struggles, "Let me see."

"No!"

He fought back, not wanting anyone to see him vulnerable.

"Seshoumaru, can you just hold him for a second?"

Seshoumaru raised a brow, but when she glared at him, he did as she asked.

Parting his haori and shirt and ignoring his snarls, she went pale as she saw what Inuyasha had been so desperate to hide.

Black web patterned lines were formed on his stomach. As she touched them, she winced and immediately withdrew her hand. So much evil. She didn't know how she knew but she could feel the ill intent radiating from those black web patterns.

Her stomach churned and she jumped on to her feet and darted into the bushes to throw up.

Seshoumaru followed her, and held up her hair as emptied her stomach. Gasping for breath, she croaked, "Water."

As she sipped the water from a leaf, she felt her head clear up. Looking in Inuyasha's direction, she saw him watching her with a strange expression on his face. He was leaning against a tree now and his face was even more ashen. He had covered himself up and his breathing was shallow.

Kagome stood up, with Seshoumaru hovering over her shoulder.

"Inuyasha?"

As she stepped closer, the inuyoukai stepped in her path, blocking her access to the hanyou.

"Seshoumaru, what are you doing?" She sounded confused.

"Do not go near him."

"What? He's sick. We've got to help him."

"No."

Before, she could say anything, Inuyasha rasped out, "The bastard is right, wench. Just get out of here."

Indignant, Kagome pushed at Seshoumaru who refused to budge, "What do you guys take me for? I am not leaving you here to die, you stupid half-dog!"

"Half-dog?" Inuyasha muttered to himself, stupidly. Then realizing that she had probably just insulted him, she snarled, "Who're you calling a dog, bitch!?""

"Shut up! You practically reek of self pity! 'Everybody hates me. Oh, I'm the half breed.'" She mimicked him.

"What did you say?" He roared at her.

The two were shouting at each other now and Seshoumaru could only watch as his little mate grew redder in the face, screaming at his half brother who was now in a murderous rage, shouting back at her.

"This is a waste of time."

"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" They yelled at him in unison.

Finally, irritated, he snarled, "Silence."

They both shut up.

Turning on his heel, he announced, "We shall talk to Bokensuno."

"Who now?" was Kagome's response.

"I ain't talking to some fucking tree!"

"I do not believe I asked you."

He stood still for a few minutes staring into the sky.

"What are you looking for, Seshou?"

"Ah-Un."

Kagome did not get the chance to ask who Ah-Un was because she got her answer in a mere second.

A two headed dragon flew in from the sky and landed gracefully on the ground.

Kagome immediately darted behind Seshoumaru, peeking from over his shoulder.

"What is that?"

Seshoumaru gestured towards the dragon who walked towards him and sniffed curiously at Kagome, "This is Ah-Un. They shall carry Inuyasha."

"What!?"

The hanyou seemed to lose even more color if it was possible, "I'm not riding that thing. I can walk just fine."

Seshoumaru walked over to him and picking him up by the scruff of his neck, tossed him onto Ah-Un.

"I do not recall giving you a choice."

"Be gentle with him, Seshoumaru. He's already badly hurt."

The inuyoukai gave her a serious look, "I was gentle."

As they started walking, Kagome pulled at his sleeve, "So where is this Bokensuno person?"

A.N : I delivered. I expect my reviews.
