Opposites Attract

Chapter 12: Disagreeable Departure

A/N: I’M SOOOOOOOOOO SORRY FOR THE DELAY!!! I hope you all enjoy this installment. Thanks so much for sticking with this story. Now on with the chapter!

A few days passed since her new mate left to patrol his lands for any sign of the fowl Raven that thought to force herself upon him. The same Raven that took so much from his Kirara so long ago. Sesshoumaru detected Kurorasu scent and decided the sooner he dealt with the Raven the better. Kirara insisted on accompanying him on his journey, however he refused. Although daiyoukai did not desire to leave his mate and pup in anyone else’s care, he did not want to risk his mate and his unborn offspring being caught in the heat of battle. So after the ass kicking he gave Inuyasha for making him lose his lunch in front of his mate, Sesshoumaru charged his bruised blistering younger sibling with the responsibility of taking care the entire pack while he was gone. Said pack included Kirara and the child that grew within her swollen belly.

After much profanity and grumbling Inuyasha agreed to Sesshoumaru’s demand. Not because Sesshoumaru said so, but for his old pack member sake…and the newest one nesting inside of her.

The decision did not sit well with the independent neko. She has been a warrior for centuries and being treated like some helpless maiden pissed her off to no end. Her claws itched to dig into the Raven’s bitch chest and rip out her evil heart for the crimes she committed. She knew that staying in the village under the care of her pack was best; after all she had to put the interest and safety of her pup/kitten first. However her hormones and emotions got the better of her and she fought tooth and nail to accompany Sesshoumaru on his patrol.

Of course all of her yelling and attempted punches to what she called Sesshoumaru’s ‘thick skull’ were all a wasted effort. The only reaction her tantrum brought forth were surprised gasps form her pack, snickers from the younger Inu while he shouted ‘give em hell Kirara!’ and narrow golden orbs from her mate. Said narrow orbs were directed at his obnoxious sibling and his loud mouth mate as they stood on the outskirts of Inuyasha’s home village. It took all his self control to not cringe at the headache their shouts were giving him. That coupled with the sympathy pregnancy symptoms he was experiencing made a very cranky daiyoukai.

After seeing his well practiced glare was ignored by the irate neko and his annoying sibling, he allowed a low threatening growl to escape his throat. A growl so low that only the youkai and hanyou could hear him. However instead of submitting to her alpha as Sesshoumaru commanded she hissed in response, voicing her ire in a very ‘cat’ like way. Inuyasha on the other hand ignored his brother’s warning and continued with his taunts and cheered on Kirara’s resistance. Even though the younger Inu and his brother are on somewhat civil terms now, Inuyasha loved it when Kirara gave his elder sibling a hard time, to see someone bring forth a reaction out of his stuck up brother.

Seeing that ‘reasoning’ with her was getting them nowhere fast, especially with his brother egging her on, he used his daiyoukai speed to give his brother a right cross punch to his jaw and sent him flying into a tree seven feet behind him. The bark cracked and broke from the impact as Inuyasha slide down and landed on his ass.

“Know your place little brother. Stay down on the ground before this Sesshoumaru put you under it.” He said in a low threatening voice as he ground his teeth together. Normally he would have ignored most of his brothers mockery with cold indifference, but with a headache hatching in his head and the churning of hunger in his gut he was a very grumpy Inu. Hence the point blank death threat.

Sesshoumaru attempted to freeze Inuyasha with his golden glacier glower before he continued:

“To think you would actually encourage her to place her life and the life of our pup in danger by accompanying this Sesshoumaru into battle. You feeble minded Baka!”

Sesshoumaru learned the hard way that as much of a badass as he is, he cannot be everywhere at once. There may be times during battle that he will be separated from Kirara and the pup. It could take only a split second for a single blow to a vital area to connect to his neko. If that happens he could lose his new family in the blank of an eye, like Kirara lost her first pack long ago. He already lost Rin in hell once because of his arrogance; he would not risk anyone else under his protection like that again. So if that means Kirara has to be force to remain in the boundaries of the village, so be it.

“Fuck you ya sensitive asshole!!! It’s not like I want Kirara to go with ya and get herself mixed up with that bird brain Bitch! I just like seeing her irritate the hell out of ya!” Inuyasha said as got to his feet. He swayed a bit as he held his slightly swollen jaw and spat out a couple of broken teeth.

Inuyasha was just thankful that Kagome, Rin and Kohaku stayed in the village to help Kaede tend to Sango and Miroku’s children and provide medical care for the villagers who needed it. That way he could bug the hell out of his brother without worrying about being SAT into the earth! Although from his brother’s earlier threat, he should worry about Sesshoumaru putting him below the earth…permanently. Then again, Inuyasha figured that since his elder sibling has not carry out his death threats in all this time, he’s not going to make his threats into reality now. The members of the pack who stayed behind in the village said their goodbyes and well wishes to Sesshoumaru, who of course ignored any well wishes. He was the Lord of the West, he did not need luck, he made his own. Rin as usual hated to see her adopted father go, but she had an unshakable faith in him. She knew he would return…always.

Kirara filled the pack in on her past and her run in with the Raven woman a few weeks earlier. Almost everyone in the pack knows what it is like to want revenge against enemy; like Naraku for example. However, everyone agreed that it would be best if Kirara and her baby remain hidden. So to Kirara’s dismay, everyone agreed that her staying put was an excellent idea. The kaki neko was touched that her pack cared for her and her pup/kitten safety so much. Be that as it may, she did not appreciate her pack taking her infuriating mate side. And of course she took most if not all of her frustrations out on her said mate.

Before Sesshoumaru could retort to Inuyasha’s insult, Kirara made her voice known…again.

“Alright that does it! Listen up everyone, I appreciate your concern, but I have been taking care of myself for centuries! I know when I can handle a situation and when to back off! And I can handle that Raven trash just fine! She’s my prey, if anyone going pluck the bitch bald and skin her alive its going to be me!” She said defiantly her silver eyes narrowed shining in the moon light.

Her warrior sister and long time partner in combat Sango came and put a reassuring hand on Kirara’s right shoulder to gain her attention. Kirara gazed soften as she looked down into Sango’s warm chocolate orbs. Sango continued to look at Kirara with warmth and said in an understanding tone:

“I know what she did was unforgivable, I know what it is like to have your entire family taken away from you in front of your eyes, but you have a new addition to your family arriving soon to think about…” Sango looked down at Kirara’s barely noticeable protruding belly and placed her hand on it lightly to drive home her point.

“Sango does have a point Kirara and I think you know that she is right.” Miroku said in agreement as he stood by his wife side. He had to force himself from ogling the gorgeous neko in front of his beautiful wife and the moody daiyoukai a few feet away.

“Yeah they got a point. As much as I like to see ya give the bastard a hard time, you should stay in the village for both you and your kid sake.” He said seriously as he stepped away from the poor tree and stood by Miroku side.

“But-“Kirara opened her mouth to speak but Inuyasha interrupted her.

“Look we all know you’re a fighter but this time ya have to sit this one out.”

Kirara gently brushed Sango’s hand away and looked around at her pack with determination in her piercing silver orbs. Kirara turned her gaze towards Sesshoumaru who was standing to her left, making sure she had his undivided attention. She balled up her fist tightly causing her black and white claws to pierce to palms of her hands. Red blood ran freely from her hands as she spoke in a serious tone, her voice quivering with repressed rage:

“Last time my pack was in danger because of her I could do nothing to stop her. As long as she is alive she is a danger to everyone she comes across, including those who are important to me. I have more experience in the battlefield now then I did then, so this time will be different. Because this time she will be the one who dies because I will be the one to give her the fatal blow!” Kirara said and made sure her tone left no room for argument. Her voice hissed with anger every time she referred to the Raven.

Sesshoumaru eyes narrowed into slits as he glared into his mate silver slits as he said:

“You will not do anything of the sort. As your alpha and Lord over the West the Raven is my prey. You will stay here until this Sesshoumaru says otherwise.” The daiyoukai said in his authoritative tone.

Sesshoumaru was her mate, her alpha and the Lord of the Western Lands. Lands the Raven dared to trespass upon. The bird even desired to trespass upon his person. It was his duty to protect his pack, his lands and its occupants. He would be damned if he let his mate foolishly endanger any member of his pack, including herself and their pup.

Kirara stormed up to him with fury in her silver eyes. Her eyes remained Sesshoumaru of a grey cloudy sky during a thunderstorm. He could have sworn that he saw lightly flash across her irate irises. Sesshoumaru did not move nor flinch as he stood his ground against the kaki neko that was currently approaching him in a very hostile matter. Stubborn gold stared down into furious silver as Kirara ground out through her teeth.

“This Kirara will do what she believes to be right, NOT what some egotistical Inu tells her!” Kirara spoke much like her mate to let him know that she was not intimidated by him.

‘The insolence…’ Sesshoumaru thought as he begins to growl low again, his temper getting the best of him. Not only did she disrespect him, but she did it in front of follow pack members! Not being one for many words this debate grew tiresome quickly. However he still managed to bring his anger under control and put an end to the argument buy asserting his dominance.

“Silence!” He hissed as he grabbed the back of her head with his right hand, pulled her closer, wrapped his left arm around her waist, bent down and gave her a passionate domineering kiss, not caring who was watching them.

Only gasps could be heard as he ravaged her month. Kirara held on to his arms and rode out the storm that was her mate kiss. As Sesshoumaru kissed her he swipe the pads of his index and middle figures on a pressure point on the back of her neck. This action rendered her unconscious. He caught his mate in his embrace and cradled her before handing her gently to Inuyasha as if she was a porcelain doll. Sesshoumaru merely looked at Inuyasha with a glare that says ‘If anything happens to them you die.’ Inuyasha rolled his eyes as if to say ‘yeah, yeah whatever’ and took her into his arms without a word. Sesshoumaru threat of death towards Inuyasha usually translated to a severe maiming and near death experience, but never into a fatality. Besides Inuyasha felt capable of protecting the pack, Sesshoumaru had nothing to worry about…
Sesshoumaru turned his back to all of them as if nothing happened and begin to make his way towards his destination.

Sango and Miroku just blinked as they watched Sesshoumaru disappear into the forest. Miroku put his finger on his chin thoughtfully as he mumbled:

“Hmmm, he managed to kiss Kirara into an unconscious state, something I have yet to learn.”

Smiling in a hentai matter Miroku turned to Sango and said:

My dear Sango would you allow me to practice-AHHHH!” He was cut off when his wife fist connected with his cheek. She knew were the conversation was going. Miroku wished to find perverted ways to shut her up when they have a disagreement like Sesshoumaru did his mate. Which by the way she totally disagreed with, however Kirara is still within the safety of the village and her pack. That is what is important.

“Stupid perverted monk.” Was all Inuyasha said as he walked passed said monk’s crumbled form and headed towards Keade’s hut with Kirara and her bundle in tow. Sango followed behind grumbling about inconsiderate hentai monks.

“I was only jesting my dear Sango!” Miroku shouted to her back as he picked up his staff and stumbled to catch up with the group who was ignoring him.


While they headed back to the village, Sesshoumaru headed towards the Raven whom he was intending on dealing with once and for all. Little did he know that things would not go as planned…
