Blood Stained

Chapter 10: Punishment

Kagome's eyes were tightly shut as she listened to every footstep until they ceased. She held her breath, waiting for him to make some sort of contact but when he didn't she bit her bottom lip; him not doing anything was much worst than him hurting her. Right now she was left waiting in doubt for her punishment. Also, now that the events that had occurred played back in her mind, she realized how much she had brought this upon herself just to save Inuyasha's life. Her heart knew it had been the right thing to do but her mind had hesitations.

"He is worthless, he does not deserve your affections," he said, his tone much more calmed and controlled then she had expected, which was misleading her since he was furious.

She let her eyes gaze around, her heart beating like a drum inside of her chest. "But he didn't deserve to die."

She had a rage develop within her against Inuyasha for his actions, but the feeling wasn't awful enough for him to die because of it. Although, she didn't deserve what had happened to her so far and yet nobody could put an halt to it for her.

Her words did nothing to ease the beast as he closed the distance between them and put his hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump a bit. "You will never pronounce his name again, you will forget about him and this love you think you have."

How dare she? She belonged to him not that bastard! Why couldn't she understand that? Didn’t she have any idea what her words did to him? She made it painful for his heart to beat.

Kagome's tiny hands crisped into fists at his words, her anger somewhat emerging. He was always telling her what to do or think when she had never desired any of this in the first place! It wasn't her fault his sick beast was attached to her!

"Inuyasha," she whispered.

Sesshomaru really tried to teach her a lesson and avoid hurting her, but she was making it so difficult. Every single one of her words seemed to be meant to anger him and there were certain things he simply couldn't let her get away with. He grabbed her hair and violently yanked it so that her head was turned and she was facing him. Kagome tried to look away, refusing to look into his red eyes.

She didn't even have a chance to blink before his hand made contact with her cheek, causing a burning sensation. Her eyes watered from the pain as Kagome rubbed her bruised cheek softly. She dared to peer at Sesshomaru, only to see his fangs preeminently sticking out of his mouth, an animalistic look in his eyes. He regained his hold on her hair and brought her forward once again, painfully tugging at it.

A huge blue mixed with black bruise was already forming on her cheek, but Sesshomaru ignored it; she had deserved her punishment. It did bother him, but she could not speak the way she did.

"On your knees," he ordered, paying no attention to her pain.

Maybe if she finally understood that her tears would not give her what she wanted, she would stop. Once she would make that step, things would be better.

Still staring away Kagome acted as if she hadn't heard him, but couldn't stop her heartbeat from increasing. They were outside in the middle of the garden were plenty of his guards and servants could get an excellent view of them and she had no desire to be humiliated in front of all these people. Everything that had occurred between them so far had been under close doors and she had no wish for anyone to see what he did to her.

After all, these were his people: they would only be proud of his actions and praise him for what he would do. They all seemed to think rape was some sort of glorifying action.

"Do not make me repeat myself, mate."

He didn't understand why she wished to be this stubborn; it was going to happen even if she fought him. She had no power against him and she would have to submit eventually. Then, her pain would cease. Didn’t she understand he was her Alpha? He had to be in charge, he had to be respected!

Kagome still tried to hang on, even though the pain he was causing her scalp was increasing and transforming into a headache.

"Have it your way," he said, as she still refused to move. Why did she always have to take the difficult, painful path?

Sesshomaru released her hair and put his hand on top of her head, pushing her down. Kagome's attempts to resist were futile since her knees were about to break under the pressure he was applying. In only a few seconds he succeeded on getting her on knees, right in front of him, as if she was submitting. His hand was secure on her head, so that even when she did try to get away, it was locking her head in place, making it impossible.

Kagome's eyes were closed, tears almost falling as she kept trying with her useless struggles; she refused to stop even if it wouldn't lead her anywhere. She could feel him moving in front of her, but her fear prevented her from opening her eyes. She did not want to see the situation he had put her in as he was desperately trying to humiliate her. Why couldn’t he stop?

"Open your eyes."

She tried to shake her head but the hold he had on it prevented her from doing so. Whatever he wished for her to see, she already knew she would not like it. Kagome's breathing became shallow as she felt something pressed against her lips. This time, her strength was not enough to keep the tears from falling and a soft sob escaped her lips.

"No," she whispered.

What gain could be possibly obtain from humiliating her? It would not make her love him… how could he not see that?

Once again, he pressed it against her lips, more forcefully this time and Kagome could feel a nauseous feeling taking over her body.

"Open your mouth."

The feeling of her warm lips against the skin of his cock was enough to drive him mad and he couldn't wait until she took him in her mouth. However it would be a much more pleasing experience if she cooperated. Instead she made sure this was a punishment and nothing else.

Kagome glued her lips together, making sure he could not get in before she slowly opening her eyes and faced what was in front of her. A gasp almost escaped her lips, when the real full size of his length hit her and she knew there was no way she could perform what he expected of her.

Sesshomaru wasn't surprised at her stubbornness, but he was not pleased with it. He tightened the hold he had on her skull, trying to cause her to flinch and he watched as she struggled to keep her mouth closed. When he started to dig a claw gently inside her head, Kagome could not stop the yelp of pain that escaped her mouth and Sesshomaru took that opportunity to insert his length inside of her mouth.

She screamed against his erected member while her mouth was being extremely stretched while not even a third of his cock was in her mouth. Kagome blinked a few times, chasing the tears away, before thoughts of biting him made their way into her mind.

But, before she could even proceed to think it through, he spoke. "Bite, and I will hunt down every single one of them."

Confusion flashed through her eyes as she wondered how he knew; surely, he could not read her mind nor had she spoken out loud. Nonetheless, his words were enough to keep her from biting since she knew he meant it.

"Good Bitch," he said, softly caressing her hair.

She was obeying somewhat and he didn’t want to let good behavior unrewarded. He did love her and care for her, but he could not bear the disrespect she showed him.

His words and actions disgusted her beyond imagination and every time he inflicted her a punishment, her hatred towards him grew. He was a ruthless monster who saw no meaning in other people's life.

Sesshomaru slid his hand to the back of her head, before he slightly pushed her forward, thrusting more of him inside her mouth. He groaned once he felt the warmth of her mouth surrounding his cock and he couldn't help but push it further. Kagome couldn't stop herself from gagging around his dick, her mouth and throat clearly too small for it.

Once Sesshomaru took conscience of her pain, he stopped forcing his length any deeper and ran his clawed fingers through her locks as if to soothe her. He had to punish her yes, but he didn’t want to kill her. This was to show her what submission was.

Kagome dared to look up, only to see him staring at her with deadly eyes, waiting for her to proceed. She couldn't help but look away in the forest where her friends had disappeared. She sobbed faintly before she started to slowly suck his length. She tried to ignore the people around them and their stares, she tried to forget where she was and who it was she was pleasing but her mind refused for her to push aside these circumstances.

She softly sucked on his cock while being mindful of her teeth, only to earn a groan from him.

He was extremely pleased with her mouth and even though she was inexperienced, it did not make it any less enjoyable. Sesshomaru loved watching her on her knees, in a submissive position, pleasing him like a good mate. However, he could not forget the way she felt about the hanyou and it was as if no matter what he did, she would not forget about him. She insisted on protecting him and loving him.

He hadn't missed the glance she had given towards the forest and his half-brother and it sickened him. No matter what he forced her to do, she wouldn't stop willingly loving Inuyasha. He wasn't about to let this one slide: if she wanted to go against him, she would feel his full wrath. She had stained him with her words and he would return the humiliation. Sesshomaru was nowhere near done punishing her for her words earlier and once he was through with her, she wouldn't dare let another thought about his half-brother cross her mind.

He closed his eyes, trying to make his mind focus on the pleasure she was bringing him right now, not what he was going to inflict upon her later. After all, he wished to bring her satisfaction, but she stubbornly desired pain and suffering. One day, perhaps she would learn, but for now, he wouldn't punish himself from pleasure just because she wasn't cooperative.

Kagome felt disgusted by the feeling of his cock in her mouth, although the gagging had ceased. The taste, the warmth; everything about it was enough to make her sick. She refused to bring him pleasure, yet she found herself with no other option. It was so easy for him to threaten other people's life simply to get what he desired, but never could she do that same. He involved in their situation people who had no business in it since it was a way to get his way. Kagome confirmed what she had often believed, but refused to accept; Sesshomaru had no heart.

Feeling she was going too slow, Sesshomaru put his hands on the sides of her head and proceeded to slide his dick in and out of her mouth at his desired speed. Kagome's mouth was overly stretched as she tried to keep her teeth out of the way, since she was powerless to stop his motions. Drool was escaping from her mouth as he violently slid his dick in her mouth and she could feel eyes watching them from around, making her extremely uncomfortable, and disgusted.

Sesshomaru didn't seem to mind them watching, but then again, why would he? He wasn't the one being degraded.

He couldn't help but groaned as he finally reached the sensation he was seeking. The thought of her pleasing him with her mouth had never crossed his mind before, but now he knew he would need to make use of it again in the future. It would be even more enjoyable once she learned how to properly do it and he wouldn't have to guide her. Kagome gagged once she felt him hit the back of her throat and more tears poured from her eyes, as her humiliation increased. She felt used, as if she was there for nothing else but to provide pleasure for him. Her situation felt as if there was no way out and he could do with her what he pleased; Kagome felt trapped.

Once again, his dick hit the back of her throat and the feeling of sickness took over again. As she looked up, she could see he did not care about her situation since it was all about his pleasure.

Sesshomaru growled once more at the pleasurable sensation and pushed almost all of his length inside her mouth, causing Kagome to gasp. She was about to try and pull away when he secured his hands on the back of her head, keeping her firmly in place. Still, Kagome kept struggling until she felt it. His seed was spilling inside her mouth, leaving a bitter, disgusting taste behind. Her eyes grew wider as she put her hands on his legs, trying to push herself away from him. She could feel his semen escape her mouth, dripping down her chin as she wrestled to break free.

"Swallow."

Kagome shook her head the best she could, but that only caused Sesshomaru to push his cock further in her mouth. Her head was secured in his hands and there was no escaping until he decided so, which she had a feeling would be once she did what he ask for. Kagome felt like a big lump was stuck in her throat as she painfully swallowed his cum. Sesshomaru seemed content as a smirk appeared on his lips, but it was not as she thought. He didn’t smirk just because he got his way: he smirked because this meant she could obey.

Once again, he grabbed her black locks and dragged her near the closest wall. Kagome was yelping in pain as he threw her against it, her face slightly scrapping against the stone. She stiffened when she felt his cold hands on her legs, lifting up her kimono and at that moment there were no doubts in her mind as of what he was going to do.

"Oh God, No please. Don't do this!" Not again, not so soon, she didn't want to go through this again. "Please,Sesshomaru, stop!"

Sesshomaru pressed his body against hers and she could feel his erected length pressed against her ass. "You won't ever think about him again."

She shook her head violently; she needed him to stop. "I'm sorry, I won't. I- I can't help my feelings. Please, I don't want to love Inuyasha anymore, I don't. I- I can't stop."

It was the truth: for years she had tried to prevent her feelings, but it was hard. He had been everything she wished and desired for so long, that her heart simply couldn't let go. She didn't want to grovel to Sesshomaru, but she didn't want to go through his abuse again. She had to take some and give some.

"You disobeyed me, you went against me."

The hanyou had really neglected his role as an alpha with her and she had become too defiant. Did she really believe a simple apologize would get her out of being disciplined? "I'm not him, I will show you who owns you."

If he let her get away with everything, she would not stop. Also, she would never learn. One harsh punishment was better than many.

"Please, don't. Just, I.. won't… talk to him, I won't see him, I don't care."

She was running out of things to say as her mind refused to work; she was too terrified at the idea of her body being used again that it was difficult to think. It wasn't the first time he would rape her, but this wasn't something she could get used to.

Sesshomaru approached his mouth to her ear, somewhat nibbling on it. "I will not bring you pleasure today. You must be punished for going against your alpha."

He had to take away something from her, he had to give her a lesson. Maybe this would be the final one, maybe this would break her stubbornness and she would finally realize that he could be good for her. His hands left her waist and sneaked its way to her womanhood, where he opened it slightly so he could enter his cock, which was still slightly wet from her saliva.

Kagome winced as he pressed her stomach against the wall, the roughest of the brick irritating her skin. "PLEASE," she begged, as she felt him press his length against her dry core, fearing what was to come.

She could feel him trying to push his way in, which was proving to be difficult especially considering their current positions. They were both standing, her pressed against the wall, while he was slightly bent, trying to enter inside of her. It wouldn't have been as awkward if the height difference between them wasn’t so immense. Then, she felt Sesshomaru put his hand on her ass and slightly lift her up, giving his cock more access.

"Don't please, don't do this, don't touch me."

Her words only seemed to increase his anger, as he rammed his cock brutally inside her core. She gasped in pain as he started his ruthless treatment of her cunt, her eyes burning with pain. He did not seem to care as he growled deeply once he completely pushed himself inside her folds. He could hear her screams of pain as he enjoyed the pleasure of her core, but he pushed them aside, knowing she deserved it.

Eventually, she would learn her place and there would be no more pain, simply pleasure. He moved one of his hands to her chest and forcefully grabbed on her breast, squeezing it hard enough to bring her pain. He groaned in pleasure as he felt her inside get wetter, probably to prevent the intense friction. Sesshomaru completely let go of her waist and also moved his other hands, so he was lifting her up by grasping both of her breasts forcefully.

Since Kagome was facing the wall, she was unable to notice the change in his eyes; the touch of amber had came through, and was shining right in the middle of his red pools, although, the best remained in complete control of Sesshomaru's body.

"It hurts," she almost screamed, her body in complete pain.

She could feel his claws digging through her kimono and marking the sensitive skin of her breasts. She had felt relief take over when her core had lubricated, removing some of the pain he had been causing her. However, since he had an easiest access now he increased his speed, painfully pounding into her cunt, burying his dick completely.

He threw his head back slightly, pulling on her breasts as he did so, causing another scream of pain from her. Not changing his speed, he nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck as if to appease her pain even though he was the cause of it. Sesshomaru knew she was unhappy at the moment, but soon, she would forget about this and she will obey.

"Once you are pupped, everything will be better." She would forget about the hanyou and focus on their pup; motherhood would bring her happiness.

The pup would be a hanyou.

It doesn't matter, she is our mate, she will be the only one to carry our pups, no matter what.

Through the pain, and tears, she shook her head violently. "No, no, I don't want you to impregnate me. YOU'RE A MONSTER!" she would not allow an innocent life to be drag into this. It was enough that he put her through hell, but a pure, innocent child had no business in this situation.

Sesshomaru released his hand from her breast to go caress her hair and calm her. "You will be pleased."

After one last stroke, he put both of his hands on her hips, as she felt relief when his hand stopped abusing her breast. He bent her body forward slightly, so she had to press her palms against the wall. "I have gone easy on you, but now you must learn.

This Sesshomaru thought you had feelings for the miko.

She disobeyed, she went against our word. Mate needs to learn that her place is beneath us.

She couldn't believe he thought he was being lenient on her after everything he had put her through so far. She wanted to reply when he caused his dick to make sure she wouldn't find her voice. She fought for her breath as he savagely pummeled his cock inside her cunt, stretching it even more than it already was, causing her more suffering.

Screams of pain were escaping her mouth, as his pleasure only grew, as he felt satisfied, buried in her warm core. Although he was rough, his dick was rubbing against her sensitive spot, keeping her wet enough for him to perfectly slide in and out. Over the years, he had taken a few females, but none of them brought him as much pleasure and satisfaction as her.

The softness of her skin, the warmth of her insides and the delicateness of her body could send him over the edge. It could be so much better if only she agreed to behave and she forgot about her previous life and feelings. Hurting her was also affecting him and he wished to do it as little as possible. Her pain could bring him an insufferable heart wrenching pain as if his heart would stop beating.

"OH KAMI STOP!" she yelled, her throat hurting from the intensity of her scream, and the tears pouring out of her eyes, burning her skin.

It felt as if he was ripping her apart and she would split in the middle. His claws were digging into her hips and she knew the wounds were bleeding, since she could feel the thick blood going down her legs. Her screams were filled with pain and helplessness, and desperation, and it was heartbreaking, even for Sesshomaru.

"STOP IT!"

Slowly, his pounding slowed down and Kagome felt relief take over her body. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her waist and gently laid her on her back on the grass, which her irritated skin was grateful for. Kagome was finally started to breathe normally when he brought his face to her ear and whispered,

"You'll feel better soon."

Sesshomaru dragged his finger across her skin, before stopping near her clit, lightly rubbing it. Kagome immediately shook her head, knowing what he was trying to do again. He bent down so he could captured her dry lips with his, softly sucking on them and at the same time, he began moving inside of her once again, but this time, he was being careful, and mindful of her pains.

He slowly pushed his whole cock inside of her, trying to hit her very sensitive spot. Her screams had increased his pain and although she had deserved to be punished, he had found himself unable to carry it out any longer. Sesshomaru knew he had done the right decision, when her body shivered in a pleasing reaction under him as he hit her spot.

The pleasure he was trying to bring her did not stop the tears from escaping Kagome's eyes. Even though her body reacted to certain of his actions, her mind did not desire them nor enjoy them. As her body started to warm up to him, she felt disgusted and tried to fight off the feelings. Sesshomaru could feel her struggles and decided to blur her mind even more by taking her nipple in his mouth and Kagome sharply inhale at the feeling of his sultry mouth on her cool nipple. He smoothly graved his fangs over it, before running his tongue on the top, causing it to become hard.

He kept his rhythm constant as he pulled away, causing a soft suction. Blood was dripping down from the side of her breast and he groaned before running his tongue over it, tasting her divine, heavenly blood. Kagome stiffened slightly from the pain of her wounds and tried to yank away from his body.

"Please," she said, her voice extremely low, and almost inaudible. "No more, no more."

This Sesshomaru orders you to give him control.

He could not take it anymore. Between this savage rutting, her pleas and his beast lack of control, it was driving him insane.

Not yet. I am not done with mate. You do not love her when I'm gone, you do not give us the attention we seek.

We seek? This Sesshomaru desires nothing from this miko. She is a human.

She is our mate, we need to feel her, to touch her. You will suffer from this.

For the past few days, he had abused her, exploited her body and taken advantages of her obvious weaknesses and slowly her body was given up. It was as if it couldn't get a chance to restore and regain strength; she hadn't eaten in over two days and she wasn't even hungry. Her body was slowly becoming numb and she wanted nothing more than to push this monster off of her. Hadn't he had enough? Why had the beast remained in control for so long?

Sesshomaru kept rubbing her sensitive nub, as he finally gained some speed, always being careful not to hurt her anymore. The tip of his cock was remaining lock in the same spot, trying to bring her to her release. She would soon understand that he was able to make her feel good, or bring her suffering, depending on her actions. As he felt her getting wetter around his dick, her juices dripping out of her cunt, he groaned in satisfaction.

"Come for your alpha. Show your appreciation for his kindness."

If Kagome had found any strength left in her, she would have screamed at him, but her whole body was giving up on her. She couldn't help but wonder in what world he lived in, thinking he was showing her kindness. The only thing he had ever brought her was suffering and shame. The moans were getting harder to hold in and she knew soon, he would consider this a victory, but it was not. He would get his way, like always, but inside, her hatred would only grow.

He increased his speed, trying to hurry her release, since he knew it would be hard for him to hold on any longer. He growled when he felt her juices leak on his length and his balls, knowing he just needed to push her a little more. Kagome was biting down hard on her lip, but it wasn't preventing a small sound of pleasure to escape her lips. When he pounded right into her, she couldn't help but arch her back, a wave of delightful lust hitting her. Since she had no better way to support herself, her tiny hands were holding on to his powerful strong arms, her body shaking. As he kept ramming in the same spot, her control slipped and a flow of lust and desire traveled through her body, exploding onto his length.

Sesshomaru groaned in pleasure, before emptying his seed inside her awaiting womb, male pride filling him. He covered her small body with his, a smirk on his face, before burying his nose in the crook of her neck. Kagome could feel his semen inside of her and tears escaped her eyes. She was expecting the real Sesshomaru to be back, but to her surprise, it had yet to happen.

His cold hands traveled to her bruised stomach, where he softly caressed her skin. "Soon, you will be swollen with our pup."

Kagome shook her head, refusing to believe his words; a part deep inside of her prayed that fertility between youkais and humans was low, and that by some miracle he had not impregnated her. "Go away," she asked, turning her head away from him.

For a few minutes, his nose remained pressed against the mating mark, breathing in her scent. Kagome's gray eyes were closed as her mind started to wander around, pretending she was not there, lying with him. It seemed slightly insane but it was the only way she wouldn't break down to pieces. She could still picture in her mind happier times in this era where she had been traveling with her friends, gathering the shards. They had gone through so much together that it pained her to leave them; if she remained with Sesshomaru, she probably would not see them again, and if she returned to her time, the fear that he would find her would probably prevent her from ever coming back.

Not matter what happened to her from now on, Sesshomaru had screwed her life. Even if she tried to not let him affect her, how would she ever be able to trust another man? She would never be able to erase the scars he had left in her heart and she would have to carry them until the day she died.

"Rin is coming."

Kagome almost jumped when she heard Sesshomaru's normal voice. As he slowly pulled away from her, she could see his amber eyes glowing from the sun. "Put yourself together miko. This Sesshomaru does not wish for his ward to see you in such a state."

If he hadn't sucked the life out of her already, she would have talked back to him, but Kagome choose to preserve her strength. Sesshomaru was the reason she was such a mess in the first place, yet he was ordering her to make herself presentable. Kagome dug her hands in the ground, lifting her upper body so that she was sitting up. The front of her kimono was completely ruined since he had clawed it open during this mistreatment. Sesshomaru knew Rin was close by and although it disgusted him, he picked up the miko and help her stood up. Kagome was about to push him away, when he covered her body with his, his eyes focus on the entrance.

"Kagome? Sesshomaru-sama?" screamed the little girl as she walked outside of the castle. Rin had waited for Kagome but when the woman didn't show up causing Rin to grow worried. Then, she had remembered her friends were here and that maybe Kagome was simply spending some time with them. Rin hadn't seen Shippo in a long time and thought Kagome wouldn't be upset if she went outside to play with him.

Kagome pulled her face away from Sesshomaru's chest, trying to gain her composure. After the recent events, Rin had totally escaped her mind and she had forgotten about the flowers. As soon as Rin caught a glimpse of her, she ran in her direction, only to stop when she took notice of the scene in front of her. Sesshomaru had his arms tightly wrapped around Kagome's waist, causing her whole body to be crushed against his torso. Rin could clearly see the tears in Kagome’s eyes.

"Rin is sorry Kagome, she was worried about you. Rin didn't mean to bother."

Kagome was sad, even Rin could guess as much. Could it be she had hurt herself? Rin could distinguish scratches and marks on her legs.

The miko felt her heart drop at the sight of the little girl. Kagome wished she had been spending the day with her instead of a beast like Sesshomaru.

She forced herself to smile the best she could, before answering her. "Don't worry you're not bothering me. I just had a little… accident. Would you mind waiting for me to get change before we go?" Truth was, the only Kagome wanted to do was to bury herself under warm blankets, but she had promised the little girl and she wouldn't go back on her word.

A bright smile was back on Rin's face as she frantically nodded her head, glowing in happiness. Kagome was fine! Rin was also accustomed toaccidents and had scratched herself more than once in the past.

"The patch of flower is over there! I'll be waiting for you!" she said, before running in direction of bright orange and blue flowers, excitement showing in her features.

For an instant, Kagome found herself to be jealous of Rin's joy; Sesshomaru clearly didn't show the same care and devotion to her as he did for Rin. Of course, that horrible feeling was of short length, as she knew it was impossible to feel envy towards the child. Kagome was in fact relieved that both part of Sesshomaru cared so deeply for her well being, in a way, Rin wouldn't have been able to land on a better father. He was truly horrible, and degrading with her, but she was able to push that aside and see how he acted with Rin. It almost disgusted her that two such different sides of him could exist.

"You can release me now," said Kagome, her voice void of any type of emotions. She was sick and tired of dealing with his personalities and she never wanted to look into his changing eyes ever again.

Without him saying a word, he loosened his hold on her and immediately Kagome ran from him and inside the castle. Once she made it past the guards, she pressed her back against the nearest wall, her eyes instantly watering. Her breathing became sharp and shallow as she brought her hand to her mouth, covering it. Holding her composure, especially in front of Rin was getting harder by the day.

Now, so soon after he mistreated her body, she had to go play with the little girl, pretending everything was right in her life. Of course, this was in no way Rin's fault, but Kagome would have to act nonetheless. She closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, convincing herself she could do this. 

If only her brain could believe her lies.

-B-

Sango was walking ahead of both men, her temper flaring with every passing moment. Not only did she despise Sesshomaru, but she also hated Inuyasha. Why had he lied about his own actions? Did he really think he would get away with it or he simply hadn't thought further then her and Miroku accompanying him? He was selfish, hot-headed, stubborn hanyou. Her grip on Hiraikotsu grew stronger as her speed increased.

The situation in which Kagome found herself was difficult. She knew the world where her friend came, all of this was wrong, but in this period of time, what Sesshomaru had done and was doing was completely right. The way he had marked her was common and since she was his mate, it was normal for him to force her into pleasuring him.

Of course, Sango didn't think there was anything right with these sort of things, but her alone couldn't change how things were done. She hated herself for abandoning Kagome behind, but she had able to see the pain their presence was causing to her friend. Unless they had some foolproof way to get her back, whatever they would do could only get them kill, or hurt Kagome.

They would need to think this through and properly once they all calmed down.

Inuyasha was the one further behind, his ears pressed against his head, staring at the ground. He hated his brother and what he had done to his Kagome: acting like she mattered to him. At least Kagome still had some sense left in her, although he hadn't been really happy about leaving her with the bastard. One thing that had brought his happiness level up was those three little words she had said; I love him.

After what he had done, Inuyasha had doubted her love for him, but now, he knew he still had a chance. All they needed to do was find a way to free her from Sesshomaru and then they would be able to work on their relationship. He was willing to put himself on the line for her to forgive him and whatever she would ask, he would do. Her love for him was the only thing keeping him sane at the moment. He could feel his hand crisp around his sword, his anger still lingering. Sesshomaru had taken his Kagome more than once. Inuyasha had been able to smell the scent on her and it disgusted him. Of course, he wasn't repulsed with Kagome, since it wasn't her doing, but by his brother.

Sesshomaru should have known better, and Inuyasha would make sure his brother was going to get what he deserved. Kagome was a precious flower and he had crushed her petals. Inuyasha had hurt her too, but not to the point of non-repair.

One thing was for sure; Sesshomaru would die by his hands.

"KAGOME!"

Rin had a huge smile on her face as she watched Kagome approach in her direction. Kagome had been true to her words and had only taken a few minutes to change before joining her. Rin ran in her direction, and once she reached her, she immediately grabbed her hand. Kagome offered her a small smile, and held her hand tightly. Deep inside of her, she told herself this fake front was worth it, just for the smile on Rin's face.

Kagome had grabbed the first kimono she had found in the closest, hating the fact that she had wear the clothes he provided her with. She was once again wearing a silk shimmering peach kimono, lucky symbols were sew upon the entire surface, and atop of the sleeves and bottom hem, chrysanthemums of violet and orange color with golden couching as they flew on top of orange mist. She felt uncomfortable wearing such luxury knowing where it came from.

"These are the flowers Rin wanted to get," said Rin as she pointed towards a colorful patch of flowers.

Sesshomaru didn't like her going too far on her own, but now that Kagome was with her they could explore! She had been so excited to create new arrangement of flowers!

Kagome nodded, a tiny smile on her face. "Then we should get started!" she said, her tone sounding too excited.

Rin freed her hand, and ran towards the flower, throwing herself on the ground. Kagome watched her happiness, almost trying to catch a drop of it. Rin moved out of the way slightly making room for the miko. Kagome gladly got on her knees and started picking the prettiest flowers with the little girl. Rin watched her, a slight blush covering her cheeks as she thought back to what had occurred earlier. She wanted to ask Kagome a few questions, but she was afraid it would embarrass her.

The questions Rin had were not related to Kagome hurting herself, but more to the way Lord Sesshomaru had comforted her.

Kagome could feel Rin's eyes on her, but she was unsure why the little girl was so engrossed with her. She took a deep breath before turning her head, the same small smile plastered on her face. "Is something the matter Rin?"

Instantly, the little girl turned her head, looking away. Staring at someone was a very impolite thing to do and she had been caught red-handed. She also knew that lying was a very bad habit, which meant she had to be honest with Kagome.

"Kagome, are you and Sesshomaru-sama… like a mommy and a daddy?"

Kagome felt her heart stop beating for a split second, her façade falling. She found herself at complete lost of words, her body slightly shaking, just thinking about Sesshomaru. Rin was looking at her, her eyes so hopeful. The answer was very complicated since she had no desire to be with Sesshomaru, but technically, they were mated, so they were somewhat together.

"Something like that," answered Kagome, trying to remain vague.

Rin nodded at her answer. She had never seen Sesshomaru with any other woman, but the best one she could think of as a mother was definitely Kagome. Sesshomaru couldn't have picked a better person! Before he came along, she was alone, without parents and then, she had gained a father, but now with Kagome, she had a real family.

Kagome hadn’t sounded completely certain, but then again she might not want to talk about it with her. Rin enjoyed all the moments she spent with Sesshomaru and Jaken, but she had also seen other children her age playing around with their mother, father and even brothers and sisters! She couldn't help but take a look at Kagome's stomach; maybe hers would grow to and then she would have a little brother or sister!

"Kagome, do you think you'll have a baby one day?"

Once again, Rin had managed to create chaos into Kagome's mind. Her becoming pregnant appeared to be Sesshomaru's beast goal. She had no idea why that monster thought him impregnating her would bring her happiness. She sighed silently before letting her hand dare to her stomach, holding it slightly. 

Tears started to form in her eyes and she blinked them away. "Maybe."
