The Importance of Being Kept

Miroku stared down at the beautiful girl who had just became his mate. Tears began to run down his face, he felt as if he was given the most precious gift in the world. An incubus rarely ever had a human mate, they usually ended up killing the human before turning them into their mate. Sango had survived.

She reached up wiping his tears away. "Miroku what's wrong, why are you crying? I'm apparently still alive."

"You're much more than alive. You're mine for eternity," Miroku said smiling joyously. He picked her up and stood her in front of a full length mirror.

Sango gasped and touched the circular black and white symbol on her head. "So it's true, I thought I might be your mate that time when we were in the club watching Inuyasha dance with Kagome, but I wasn't sure."

"You knew and you didn't tell me? How could you, a human, know and not me?" Miroku turned her to look at him.

"Because, I thought perhaps I was just wishing it. Humans don't usually become an incubus mate. I have to do more research to find out what this means for both of us!" Sango began to smile. She threw her arms around him happily. "I love you! You went through so much to protect me and all along we belonged together."

"If only I had listened to my heart sooner," Miroku said.

"It's okay, we made it. We're together!" Sango said looking up at him.

Miroku stared down at her, everything hit him at once, Sango rebelling against him, his anger, his "punishment" to her, the accident in the tub, Sango nearly dying and now this. He picked her up. "You have no clue the hell I've went through in such a short amount of time." He threw her on the bed. "I'm going to make love to you so much, you won't be able to get out of bed for a month."

Sango eyes widen as he began to kiss her. Did an incubus ever get tired?

Miroku made love to her with such intense passion she thought she would die again. It was as if he was taking out all his stress in their lovemaking and she of course loved every moment of it. However, one thing happened neither one of them expected. Once they were both on the verge of an impending climax, something happened. Sango began to take Miroku's life energy. She fed and she fed voraciously, as if her body was starved. He had to pull away from her to keep her from sucking him dry.

She stared at him in horror. He stared back at her in shock.

"Oh no!" She whispered.

Miroku could see the panic in her eyes. "Sango..."

She looked at him frightened. "What did I do? What did you do to me?"

"Baby.." Miroku tried to reach for her, but she backed away wrapping the covers tightly around her body.

"I have to go," Sango said and ran out the door before he could stop her.

"Sango!" Miroku followed her to the living room. His energy had returned, but he was too late. She'd left. He started to go after her, but instead sat down on the bed to gather his thoughts. He'd just turned his sweet human into a succubus.


Rin awakened in Sesshoumaru's room once again, this time alone. The curtains had been opened again, allowing sunlight to fill the room. She sat up remembering what caused her to faint in the first place. Running to the mirror, she stared at her neck. There it was, Sesshoumaru's mark, two long welts running across the side of her neck, one gold, one purple. They didn't hurt anymore, but she knew they wouldn't disappear for a very long time. She remembered the sharp pain as Sesshoumaru sunk his fangs in her neck and dragged open her delicate skin, his almost sensuous growl at tasting her blood and his hot wet tongue lapping over the wounds to heal them before she fainted. He had made his choice, she was not his "kept" human anymore, she was his girlfriend. Sesshoumaru had never had a girlfriend. She was honored and happy! She had managed to accomplish something not even a female youkai could do! Wow, every female on campus was about to be so jealous! She had no clue where Sesshoumaru disappeared, probably out patrolling like usual, he took his job very seriously. She didn't care! At the moment, she wanted to share her happiness with her roommates.


Kagome had just entered her room, she was fuming because she couldn't find Inuyasha to beat him up. Darn hanyou, disappeared when it was convenient. Sango suddenly ran into the room. Her naked body wrapped in a silk black bed sheet. Kagome's mouth dropped open. Rin entered the room also naked wrapped in a silk white bed sheet. The girls stopped and stared at each other in surprise.

"Did I miss out on something?" Kagome wanted to know looking from one girl to the next.

Both Rin and Sango blushed.

"Apparently," Kagome said dryly. "Well from the looks of it, you both got it on last night," she giggled.

"Actually, I didn't," Rin said softly, still blushing at Kagome's statement. "But, I am Sesshoumaru's girlfriend now!" She pulled back her hair showing Kagome's Sesshoumaru's mark.

Kagome's ran her fingers down her bruised neck. "So am I..."

Rin gasped and stepped closer to see Inuyasha's initials. "Was that painful?"

"No, it felt rather good at the time he was doing it," Kagome blushed this time.

"Were you intimate with him?" Rin asked staring at her with big innocent eyes.

"No, kind of, I don't know!" Kagome blushed deeply. "We made out!" It was as far as she was willing to tell them. "What about you? How can you say nothing happened when you're naked under that sheet?"

"I threw up on Sesshoumaru and myself, passed out, he had to take my clothes off and bathe me, and he apparently likes to sleep naked. I have no idea what he did with my clothes..."

Sango giggled. They turned to her and she stopped, suddenly not wanting their attention on her.

"And what about you?" Kagome asked raising a brow suspiciously. "Why are you naked and what's that symbol on your forehead?"

Rin let out a loud gasped causing both girls to jump in fear. "SANGO! YOU'RE MIROKU'S LIFE MATE!"For such a little thing, she sure could yell pretty loudly.

Sango quickly closed the door so no one would hear and see them. "It all happened so fast. Miroku was angry at me and felt the need to "punish" me," she cleared her throat, "in all types of erotic ways."

Both girls gasped and stared at her with big eyes.

"Oh wow, what's it like to sleep with a incubus?" Rin wanted to know.

"It makes human sex feel weak and boring compared to it." Sango said.

"Wow.." Kagome whispered.

"Anyway, um we ended up being together all night, the guy never stops, such stamina...and then," Sango blushed furiously. "Well, we were in the bath tub together, and I was trying to get him to admit he loved me and I was... um...was playfully straddling him, holding myself up by my knees, and they slipped...and I fell on his...huge...member...by accident..."

Kagome and Rin stared at her silently with frozen comical looks on their faces. Sango was totally embarrassed, she stared down at the carpet waiting for them to say something. A minute passed by.

Kagome was the first to clasped her hands over her mouth to keep from laughing out loud, but still a giggle came through.

Rin stared at Sango with a confused look her face. "How is that possible?" She asked.

Kagome couldn't stop herself. She burst out laughing. She laughed so hard her face began to turn red and tears began to flow. She fell on the floor laughing loudly.

"It's not that funny!" Sango yelled.

"Oh that is soo funny! In fact that it's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. You know the sarcastic saying people say when two people get together and they say they didn't mean to sleep with each other, it just happened ,and someone says sarcastically, "oh sure, you just happen to accidently fall on his dick?" Well, I guess you've actually made it true!"

"That's how you ended up becoming his mate?" Rin wanted to know her eyes also beginning to sparkle with hidden laughter.

"I knew I should have kept my mouth closed!" Sango said, she had a feeling they were never going to let her live this down. "I'm going to my room!"

"Sango wait!" Kagome called after her. Sango's door slammed loudly. She was clearly upset. "I guess I'll have to apologize to her later," Kagome said still giggling.

Rin shook her head. "Every since we went out, nothing has been the same. Youkai men go pretty crazy when their girls stray. I'll have to remember that. I'm going to my room to find some clothes."

"Yes, that would be a good idea," Kagome said smiling at her.

Rin stopped and looked at Kagome's neck. "You're lucky it wasn't painful this time. Be careful, Kagome, dog youkais tend to bite really hard when they feel threatened."

Kagome wondered what she meant, but didn't bother to ask, the girl needed to put some clothes on before someone walked in the room. As if to prove she was right, Inuyasha opened the door and strode into the room with a big arrogant grin on his face.

"Hey Kagome, I heard you were looking for me. What are you doing on the floor?"

Inuyasha was not prepared for the leap Kagome made at him. She knocked him to the floor and began to pummel him with her fist.

"What the hell!" Inuyasha yelled trying to stop her from hitting him in the face. "I make you my girlfriend and you beat me up? I thought that's what you wanted!"

"You did it without even asking me? A girl deserves to be asked such important things, not tricked into it!"

"I didn't trick you, it kind of just happened!"

Kagome stopped, thinking of Sango, her anger disappeared and she fell into a fit of giggles again. Inuyasha used this chance to knock her to the floor and straddle her thighs. He pinned her hands to the floor above her head so she wouldn't do any more damage to his face. "What the hell is wrong with you? Are you going crazy!"

"Kagome?" A female voice coming from the doorway caused them both to stop and look up.

Kagome's mother stood in the doorway with her younger brother Sota watching them with shocked expressions.

"What are you doing to my sister!" Sota yelled and threw his body into Inuyasha to knock him off Kagome.

"Mom!" Kagome quickly stood up and glanced at Sota who was now beating up on Inuyasha. "What are you doing here?"

"It's Friday dear. We were suppose to take you home for the weekend, remember?"

"Oh," Kagome said not sure what to do.

"Kagome what happened to your neck, honey?" Her mother stared at her in concern.

Sota glanced up at Kagome's neck and began to hit Inuyasha even harder. "Did you hurt my sister!"

"Get the hell off me, kid, before I sling you out the window!" Inuyasha pushed him off and stood up.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, horrified by his rudeness to her family.

"Well, he started it," Inuyasha said pouting like three year old.

"Kagome what's going on here?" Her mother demanded crossing her arms.

"Mom, it's not what it seems. We were just playing around," Kagome lied feeling guilty about it, but she had to do something.

"And those marks on your neck?" Her mother asked seriously.

"They're mine," Inuyasha admitted.

Her mother turned to him. "Really?" She asked.

"Kagome's mine," Inuyasha said.

"What he means is that we just started dating," Kagome said quickly. "Oh mom, I'm so embarrassed, I was about to put a scarf on."

"You're my girlfriend," Inuyasha said frowning at Kagome.

Kagome could have kicked him.

"I didn't know you had a boyfriend, Kagome?" Her mother said staring at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha grinned and wrapped his arm possessively around Kagome's shoulder.

"It was love at first sight," Kagome said trying to fix the confusion Inuyasha kept creating every time he opened his big mouth.

"I see," her mother looked skeptical. "It's a rather fast decision don't you think? You just got here a few days ago, unless you've been seeing him secretly."

"That's it!" Kagome said quickly. "I've been seeing him secretly behind your back, mom. I know it was wrong, but I was just so afraid you wouldn't approve of me dating a youkai."

Mrs. Higurashi blushed, "Kagome, how could you think that of me, you know I'm not like that. Everyone is equal in my eyes."

She couldn't believe her mother bought it, but then again, her mother had always considered herself a fair woman and for Kagome to just tell her she thought she was prejudice against youkai made her mother forget about being suspicious.

Kagome watched her mother take a step to Inuyasha and hold out her hand to shake his. "I'm Kagome's mother, Mrs. Higurashi and you are?"

Inuyasha grinned and shook her hand. "Inuyasha Taisho."

"Taisho? You mean of the Taisho dynasty?" She stared at him in surprise.

"Yep, my brother, Sesshoumaru and I tend the university together."

"Oh my, what an honor!"

Kagome watched as her mother became flustered and giddy in front of Inuyasha.

"And, you're my daughter's boyfriend...oh my," she began to fan herself.

Kagome stared at her a flat expression on her face. She could see the dollar symbols in her mother's eyes.

"Sota, come over here and apologize to Mr. Taisho," she told her brother.

"Please, just call me Inuyasha," Inuyasha smiled sweetly.

Kagome wanted to slap him.

"Yes, of course, Sota apologize now!"

"Sorry," Sota said begrudgingly.

Kagome gave her 14 years old brother a hug. "It's okay, Sota, you were just trying to protect your big sister." She smiled at him and lovingly ruffled his hair.

Sota backed away blushing slightly.

"Excuse me, does Ms. Kagome Higurashi stay here?" A man dressed in a delivery uniform stood in the doorway holding a large package.

"Yes," Kagome said looking at him curiously.

"If you just sign the form maam we'll bring in your packages."

Kagome knew she was in trouble, she had just been caught red handed. "Okay," she said hesitantly and signed the form.

Everyone watched as several men came in carrying packages into the room and sat them on the living room floor. It went on and on.

"My word, Kagome is all of this for you?" Her mother asked.

"Yeah, Kagome," Inuyasha looked at her suspiciously.

Kagome grinned. "Of course, Inuyasha spoils me ridiculously. He just loves me to death," she gave Inuyasha a kiss on the cheek paying no attention to how his left eye began to twitch violently.

"Well I guess dating a Taisho has its advantages," her mother said very impressed.

"You have no idea," Kagome said walking away from Inuyasha who looked like he was about to choke her.

Her mother moved out of the way of the men bringing in the packages. "Are you still coming home with us for the weekend sweetie?"

"Yes, god yes!" Kagome said. "I'll go pack right now!"

Inuyasha grabbed her arm before she could go into her room. "You're not going anywhere," he said in a low voice so her family couldn't hear her. He turned to her mother. "Kagome promised she would stay home this weekend and help unpack all the stuff I bought her didn't you?"

"Oh of course," her mother said. "Kagome why didn't you tell me? Inuyasha went through so much trouble to get you all these gifts. It would be rude to just run off and leave it unpacked."

Kagome gulped. Her mother walked over and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "We can always come back another time, darling. It was nice meeting you, Inuyasha. You take good care of my daughter."

Inuyasha gave her his most charming smile. "I will, Mrs. Higurashi, believe me I will."

Kagome watched her mother and Sota leave. She wanted to run after them, but Inuyasha had a death grip on her arm. She watched as her only means of escaping walked out the door.
