Because I love you guys soooo very much, I am giving you a treat. This chapter it 3x longer than my previous chapters. Enjoy! =^.^=

Kagome brought her hand up to cup his face and turned it so that she could look into his eyes. The uncertainty shadowing his eyes were confusing to her. His body and eyes shown the opposite of what his beast had portrayed on countless occasions and it tried to dominate her.

"Of course I do. You are my mate. It is my duty to tend to your wounds." She smiled gently at him, trying to reassure him.

Sesshomaru gripped her hand tightly enough to show her he was not letting this subject go but not tightly enough harm her beautiful pale skin.

"Onna, tell this Sesshomaru something. Why are you so willing to admit you are mine? Can you not tell that the mark was not a full mating mark?" Kagome looked at him questioningly. Of course she knew the mark she bore was not truly a Mating mark. Though he had a point. Why was she saying that she had belonged to him? All the two of them had ever done was fight. Fight for dominance.

Before Kagome could come to an answer in her heard, let alone form in into a words, Sesshomaru continued.

"Can you not smell the blood shed downstairs? You see this Sesshomaru's blood but now you can smell it as well? Instead of recoiling, you feel beckoned to it?" These weren't questions they were statements, she could tell. If Kagome wasn't confused before, she surely was now. Everything that he had said to her was true but how? The more she thought about his words. It carried more validity than she would have liked to admit. Kagome lowered her head and the hand Sesshomaru held was limp as he released her.

She turned away from him and ran her a hand through her long silver tresses and it fanned out from the movement. Her eyes widen slightly and as a glimpse of silver caught the corner of her eye.

'No...'

She spun back to him quickly, and looked Sesshomaru. Amber meeting Amber. So many emotions swirling around in those glossy beautiful eyes. Too many emotions to count and name. Though few were dominant in her eyes.

Shock

Fear

Betrayal?

No, he was sure of it. It'll never cease to amaze him how quickly humans jump for emotion to emotion. Instead of thinking more on it he watched her as she walked past him to the to one of the sliding door on the other side of the room. Sliding the door open she was presented with a large hot spring. The place was huge but she didn't have time to study it. There was one thing on her mind and one thing only.

Kagome walked across the the smooth surface of limestone ground. Halfway to the steaming water, she hesitated. Completely stopping, 'Why look at my reflection if I already know what I'm going to see. I know... I know I have silver hair. Its so flipping long and shiny, it was impossible not to have noticed that little glimpse of it before.' Kagome shook her head, not wanting to think about this anymore. She was going to see for herself, first hand, just what has become of her.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her head and started forward. Once she reached the reached the part where the stone met the steaming water, she leaned over slightly, seeing the top of her silver head. She took a deep breath and kneed over the edge, her long silver tresses falling into the hot water. Sesshomaru heard her gasp and he knew he was in for an earful.

Said miko could not believe her eyes. The shock was enough to buy her silence for a few minutes. Taking in her new appearance she almost fell over. Kagome didn't look like herself at all. This latest transformation left her speechless. Kagome brought her hand up to pull back her band so she could inspect the crescent on forehead and upon doing so she revealed pointed elf-like ears. She 'Tsked' and refocused her vision on back on the magenta stripes adoring her cheeks. Dipping her free hand in the water then bringing it up to her where the stripes that sat on her face and rolled her thumb over it roughly a couple of times but there was no change. It was not coming off, that much was clear.

Kagome sighed to herself and began to rise. 'Well a girl can dream, right? I really wanted to believe that this was fake. Just paint or ink. I'm never so lucky. ' Kagome walked back through the sliding door and narrowed her eyes with she say Sesshomaru. He stared blankly back at her, his blood dripping on the floor.

"Did you do this to me Sesshomaru? Because I look like a tiny clone of you. I match everything about your appearance, down to the markings." Kagome stated calmly. She was far too tired to express the rage she should be feeling. At this point, these transformations are just normal. She just hoped that this is one that she can come back from. She didn't even recognize herself anymore. Though Kagome had to admit that she looked rather beautiful this way, unbelievibly so.

Sesshomaru turned to her and his dead stare stopped her musing. "You have the scent of a demon. This beyond even my power. This one can not change a human into a demon. A miko at that."

Kagome listened to him and nodded but truthfully, all she could focus on was his mangles arm. Thats when she heard it, a voice .

"We should have mauled that clay bitch when we had the chance. Heal our mate!"

Kagome jumped and snapped her head left and right, all around the room, looking for the mysterious voice. Then she heard it again. But this time she didn't jump, she listened carefully.

"Heal. Mate. Now. He needs us."

She scanned the room once more but nothing. Said voice chuckled as she felt a sharp tug at her mind.

"Foolish girl. I am in you. We are one and the same."

"How can you be me?" The miko said out loud causing her intended to raise a brow at her.

"Don't you hear her?" Kagome asked.

"..."

"I am you, fool. He can not hear me. Only you. I am your essence. Your most native side. Heal him. He won't last long."

Kagome hands went to her, gripping the sides of head. 'I'm going nuts! How can I be hearing voices. I bets its because of all those souls kikyou sucked up while half my soul was with her. Someone probably go attached! Ugh! This is not good.'

"What is 'she' saying to you?" Broken out of her thoughts by Sesshomaru's deep voice. Kagome looked up to him then looked away shyly a small blush creeping onto her face.

"She says that she is me. That I am her and only I can hear her. She said she is the most primitive part of me. Also that..." She lowered her face as her cheeks began to heat up.

"Also that... You- I should heal you. She demands it."

Sesshomaru eyes widen a fraction as relations hit it hard. He was starting to understand and piece together a lot of things about his mysterious little miko. He could laugh. The very thing that he kept denying, seems to have been the truth. 'The girl has a beast.' Quickly recovering, he lowered himself onto long couch/chair, put his legs up and closed his eyes. The pain in his arm never ceased, in fact it had only gotten worse. Either way, these wounds needed to heal.

It was clear that it wouldn't heal as his past wounds had, had that been the case, he would have been halfway healed by this time. Though, he could tell that it was healing, just at an unbelievably slow rate. He would have to meditate and focus his energy on closing these wounds. He would need to start the process now, too much blood has been lost already.

"This Sesshomaru needs not your aid. I only need to heal. You will not leave this room. This process will take some days." He growled out.

Though her first instincts were to yell, he just looked too pathetic to do that. Kagome walked over to his the chair he was occupying and knelt down next to the still bleeding arm. Giving it a quick examination, it had clearly gotten worse and it was bothering her so much. Kagome growled very low, frustrated. She knew what she had to do, but the consequences of doing such a thing would be permanent.

"Heal. Mate."

"He is not my mate." Kagome shook her head. She would not do it.

"Heal him!"

"No! If I heal him I'll be tied to him forever. I won't!"

"Then watch a kingdom fall. He is the one who protects the these lands. Hundreds of men, women, children; all will perish. And you will carry the weight of their deaths." Her beast voice held a gloating tone to it.

"Damn it! Fine! I'll do it then I'll rid myself of that bastard if even if i die doing so!" She yelled to herself.

Kagome stood up and jump on top of Sesshomaru, straddling his waist. he growled at her, telling her that he did not need her assistance. The miko just growled back, louder, telling him to stop whining. Thats when he snapped his eyes open and she saw red. It was an attempt to scare her, a silent warning but she ignored him. Kagome was unphased.

She lowered her face to his shoulder, Sango's words replaying in her mind.

Flashback

"Blood forcibly taken will create the illusion of a bond. A shadow to the mating mark, if you will. It mimics the mating mark in many ways but pales in comparison when feelings and . Like a cheap copy. But blood willingly given and accepted between demons will create a bond so powerful that they will be able to know where each other is at all times even sense when they are in danger." Sango said as she laid back against a tall, smooth rock in the river.

The three of them were at a river, bathing as they normally had. Shippo, Sango, and Kagome.

"Thats why blood sharing is forbidding?"

"Hai. But only to those who are not mated or are being courted. But even whilst being courted, It is still very rare. I'm sure you can understand the dangers of any other using such a procedure with someone other than a lover."

Kagome nodded.

"If Naraku, let's say, captured and a maiden and tortured her into freely giving him, her blood; that woman would no longer be her own. She would belong to him. He would own her until she died or he broken ties with her." Sango continued to say, "My father told me that the only way to break such a bond is for either one of the pair to mate someone and begin a the blood sharing pact again."

"Blood sharing an intimate act between mates, whether it is just for healing purposes or reproductive ones. It can draw forth their couples beast, the most primal and dangerous state, where the male will dominate the female. Be it in aura or sexually. The female must submit. If not, the male will force her to bend to his will. I understand that this sounds cruel but it is seen differently in demon society. It is helpful in many ways. For example, it is a way to subdue a wound mate that may be out of control so that the male may heal her. Though I know this much, there is still more that I do not know about." Sango finished.

"How does a demon heal its mate? Is it like pushing their aura into the others body?" Kagome asked curiously.

"Yes and no. That method works for any pain that is not caused by a wound. But wounds of flesh can only be healed on its own or by saliva."

FLASHBACK END

Kagome nodded to herself and gulped before lowering her face to his shoulder and inhaled. It smelled amazing. He smelled like a forest after the rain. Just earthy and manly. The blood only intensified his scent. Without realizing it, her eyes became red with need. Lifting his hand to her ready mouth, she licked the palm of his hand. Kagome's senses exploded with his power. It was so intense, so sweet that she had instantly lost herself.

Cradling Sesshomaru's hand tenderly, she lapped up every trail of blood that stemmed from his palm, greedily. His hot blood exploded on her tongue and flooded her senses. He was absolutely delicious. He was sweet. So very sweet, though his blood had a bit of a bite to it, she had overlooked it as soon as the taste of the power that laced his blood found her taste buds. It clouded her conscious mind, making it simple for her beast to take over, should it choose to do so.

Kagomes lapped up every stream of blood that stemmed from his palm. Carefully sucking each finger clean before moving to the source of the blood. By this time her eyes were bleeding red, and as soon as she slide her tongue over his wound, she was lost.

Sesshomaru almost lost himself at the feeling of his soon to be mate's little tongue gliding over his hand. The way her warm, hungry mouth felt when she cleaned his fingers was enough to undo him. Everything was heightened by the blood sharing. He knew she felt it too. Sesshomaru was aware of the beast in her breaking free of its confines. He was honestly surprised that she lasted this long.

Kagome did not fight it. She couldn't. The beast was taking over and she didn't even try to stop it. All that was on her mind was the way his blood made her feel. It was having a weird effect on her body. The pit of the Kagome's stomach tightened with a warm heat. Shaking it off, she moved up to his chest about to dive her tongue into his shoulder when she felt something rub against her most private area.

That immediately stopped her movements. Whatever it was,slid against her again and she let out the sweetest little mew as a wave of pleasure hit her. Before she could even register the feelings her body was going through, Sesshomaru had carried and pinned her to the bed. Hands drawn above her head in his strong grasp, staring down at her blood red eyes with his pink tinged ones. Sesshomaru grinded his hips into hers and her whole body arched beautifully, exposing her neck in a submissive way while she moaned again. God, he wanted to take her now. The scent of her arousal was permeating the air around him, threatening to cut the ties on what little control he had left. Inside, his beast was raging. It wanted out. It wanted the female that laid beneath him, aching for his touch.

"Miko" He growled out. Sesshomaru was trying to snap her out of this behavior and she knew it.

She ignored him.

"Miko." He called again, this time louder.

Kagome whined and lifted her hips to me his and rocked against his large bulge. Her beast was hearing none of it. It wanted to be let out. Lust had taken over her. Kagome flipped him. Pinning his arms at his head and riding his hips, trying to bring as much pleasure to herself as she could. Sesshomaru eyes widen slightly in anger.

'This little bitch thinks she is this one's Alpha?!'

The demon lord snarled. He was her better. Not the other way around. He threw her on her back, pinning her down once more and bared his fangs to her, to which she returned the gesture, bearing her long fangs right back at him. She challenged him. He would take pleasure in teaching her the place of his mate, beneath him, begging him. Sesshomaru, while still keeping her arms pinned, moved one to shred the fabric from her body. Tossing them to the floor, he roughly grabbed her breast and brought his mouth to it, suckling hard on her bud before biting it. Kagome whimpered and moaned, caught between pain and pleasure until he bit down harder. Though not enough to break the skin, it still hurt.

She fought his hold, desperately wanting to touch him. To her dismay, she felt him smirk against her breast before his other hand went to her abandoned breast. He flicked and twisted the rose color nipple with one hand and licked and teased the other with his hot tongue.

The little minx whined and whimpered under him. It seems like she did not like to be teased but he enjoyed the sounds she made. It fueled his own arousal.

He paused for a moment to finally take in the beauty that he was about to make his in every way. The little onna could rival any demoness he had ever seen. Sure, he had seen her naked before but coupled with the needly look on her face; She was flawless.

Inwardly smiling, he dove down to taste his prize. Sesshomaru gripped Kagomes thighs firmly and took one long swipe of his tongue at her entrance and was hooked. He tighten his hold on her legs, pulling her as close as he could. Licking and sucking every inch of her what she offered.

Sesshomaru took the little nub hostage in his mouth. He flicked his tongue it and sucked hard, his eyes trained on her face. She quivered and moaned beautifully with every swipe of his tongue. He let go of her clit and took a long, slow lick of her womanhood. Her body jerked away and she all but cried out. He gripped her thighs almost painfully, his nails drawing little beads of blood as her dragged her back to her previous spot and forced her legs apart.

"Do not attempt to flee now, onna. I will finish what you started."

With that said, Sesshomaru dove his tongue into her slick folds.

'Delicious!'

Gods, she tastes divine. Unlike any he has ever tasted before. His little miko tasted so very sweet. Kagome clamped down on his tongue, either trying to reject him, or keep him in place, he did not care. tonight, he would have her and there was nothing she could do to stop him.

"After this night, you will no longer be able to rebut my claim on you." At that moment his eyes bled red and his beast had taken over.

In a movement too quick for her to register, Sesshomaru had flipped her onto her stomach. Kagome's whined in protest at the sudden loss of his tongue and her new position. The great demon lord growled low, warning the bitch beneath him to be silent. He roughly grabbed her hips and dragged it upwards until it was parallel to his own. Sesshomaru grabbed his impressive member and held it to her dripping entrance. Without warning, he slammed into her core. Breaking through her virginal barrier and shething himself completely. Groaning at the sheer tightness as she clamped down hard on his length.

Kagome cried out in pain, she felt like she would break at that very moment. Not only was he unnaturally long, he was also very thick. The position he had had chosen to take her in was hardly forgiving for someone pure. tears gathered at the corner of her eyes when Sesshomaru began to move, giving her no time to adjust. He pounded into her like a beast. There was no gentleness to be had when one's beast has taken over. His claws dug into her hips, cutting her skin as he surged forward, hitting the little miko's womb with every thrust. Kagome's beast whimpered through clenched teeth and clawed at the bed. It hurt, god it hurt but it was also starting to feel sharp cries of pain were becoming soft mews.

Sesshomaru's beast was in bliss. The way this woman gripped him was almost painful but oh so delicious. At this rate, he would cum very soon. Without slowing his pace, he laid across her tiny frame and foundled her breast harshly. Kagome his in pleasure, despite his treatment, her body seem to being craving this. Sesshomaru ran his tongue over the area between her neck and shoulder repeatedly, adding to her pleasure. She suddenly tightened and screamed her release.

Before she could come down from her high, Sesshomaru reared his head back and sank his fangs into the place he'd just been licking. Blood exploded into his mouth. Sweet, hot, delicious blood. Kagome howled but despite the pain, she tilted her head to the opposite side, giving him more access. Which he gladly took. Drinking every last drop of blood that pour from the wound. He forced his youki into her.

He pulled out of her and flipped on her back then re-entered her. His movements were relentless and had Kagome cumming clamped down on him so hard, and with that he found his own release. At that moment, Kagome sank her fangs into the base of his neck. He threw his head back and groaned, his hands coming up to hold her head in place as she sucked the blood from his wound.

Kagome collapsed onto the bed, now unconscious. Sesshomaru held himself above her, smiling a genuine smile. He had taken control of his body, successfully beating his beast back into its cage. Which was a difficult task as it wanted more of the little onna beneath him. He had her now. There would be plenty of time for that in time. Right now he just wanted to gaze at his greatest conquest.

"You belong to this Sesshomaru now. And everyone will know it now, my mate." With that said, Sesshomaru laid beside her and gathered up her body in his arms as sleep took him.
