Raifu no Tenshi: I know that you don't really like Kagome to have any 'traditional' pairings, so it surprised me very much that you liked this story. I had actually considered having them all point at Shippo but I love his cute little character and decided that I didn't want them to be that mean to him. As for your question about which summaries I wanted, Stuck on You, which you already gave me, Loving You, and I think there was another one but I can't remember what it was. Thank you, if you do give me permission and good luck updating! You do still love Kagome right? Just kidding! I know you do!

Chapter 2. What Instincts?

Kagome was not one to be afraid. She had faced down countless youkai, and spirits that were an immediate threat to her life. Hell, she had even been groped by Miroku! But still…the one thing that could ever scare her out of her wits like this…

Sesshomaru's smile.

One couldn't even call it a smile, but a predatory grin. It scared her and yet at the same time, her mind recognized a primal instinct. This male was a threat to her and was not her mate. He should not look at her in such a manner!

Kagome shook her head, what was wrong with her? She shouldn't be thinking anything like that! He would ponder this odd little development later. Right now, she needed to focus on the very dangerous predator in front of her. She had the ludicrous idea of running, but didn't comprehend that he was a DOG demon, and would enjoy it. Oh, well more excitement for us!

She turned and ran but before she could comprehend what had happened, she felt herself being pressed against a tree and felt a sharpness on her neck. Whimpering she moved away from the pain, it reminded her of InuYasha's forceful claiming earlier that day, and she couldn't handle this much.

Sesshomaru clamped his teeth down harder on her neck, trying to get her to submit. He was the stronger, therefore she would submit to him. Then he heard her whimpers and smelled her fear. He was angered by this. She was his chosen and should only fear him if he so wished! Her removed his teeth and turned her around and the look in her eyes reminded him of a rabbit looking death in the face.

He started a low growling in his throat, hoping the low rumbling noise would relax her. He nuzzled into the right side of her neck, wanting to calm his little one down so he could talk to her. She seemed to stop whimpering, and actually gave him some more access to her neck. He licked it once, and was startled by a jolt he felt coming from her neck. He pulled his head up, and saw a mating mark upon her neck!

But what angered him the most was that it was not willing. If it were willing the mark would have been clean and vibrant. This mark was still slightly bleeding and it was red and angry looking as if her flesh had been ripped from her! He snarled in anger as this mark also meant that he could not touch her until she or the one who had marked her died.

"Who did this to you?"

He growled at her. She whimpered, and lowered her head in fright.

"InuYasha."

She whispered. It was barely audible to the Tai-Youkai, but when he heard it he snarled his rage. He quickly sobered when he heard her whimpering. He let loose a low rumbling in his chest wanting her to calm down. She seemed to relax in his hold. She didn't quite understand why she was feeling this way; he was her enemy! But than again, who was really her enemy?

After all it was InuYasha who attacked her, and wasn't he her comrade? So did that make him her enemy, and Sesshomaru her ally? Oh it was all to confusing! She just wanted to sleep after her hard day. He was so warm…

Sesshomaru gave a small smile at her when he noticed that she had dozed into a light sleep against him. Fitful, but still a light sleep. However thoughts of what she had told him were making him want to rip something up, preferably InuYasha. How dare he touch something that is mine!

He will pay!

But for now he needed to focus on getting his little female home where she belonged.

!With InuYasha!

'What is wrong with me?'

Thought InuYasha as he pondered on the events of earlier that day. He ha forcefully marked Kagome as his mate, and the only way it could be removed is if he or she were killed. He did not want to die but he did not want Kagome as his mate. He wanted Kikyo Damnit! Why was fate so cruel to him?

First it had stolen his precious Kikyo away from him the first time around, and then when she was resurrected her stupid little re-incarnation had to ruin it by making him mark her! Why couldn't he ever get a break in life?

What the hell was the matter now? He walked towards the edge of his forest to find out what was making so many people scream in fear. Naraku! It seems that he had come here looking for Kagome, but did not mind causing some havoc in the process. He pulled out Tetsusaiga, ready to let out all of his frustration out on Naraku. Unfortunately Naraku had the same idea.

Ever since he had seen the new Kagome he had not been able to receive any rest, he just lied there in want of her. So he came to retrieve her but since she was not there, killing InuYasha would make him almost as happy. He let out a chilling smile as he thought of what he would do to InuYasha. That little ingrate had been a thorn in his side ever since he had been awoken from that enchanted arrow. Stealing the shards away from him, then letting Kikyo be resurrected, and now he had forced that little Kagome girl away.

Oh yes, it was high time that he made InuYasha pay for his crimes against him. This would be most enjoyable. That little fool had no idea what was coming for him. Naraku would enjoy this immensely.
