The Importance of Being A Youkai's Mate

A/N: Sorry for the long wait everyone. It seems like I won't be able to update as much as I want, but you will be getting updates, even if it's once a week. You will never have to wait once a month, I hate waiting that long to update myself. Anyway, this chapter has a lemon at the end so just letting you know ahead of time. I hope you enjoy it!

Kagome couldn't believe the delicious foods that were being prepared and baked right in front of her eyes. Her instructor had taken the class to an elegant French restaurant where they had experience what went on in the kitchen. Kagome was having the time of her life so much, that she hadn't noticed Inuyasha checking in on her. The food was vibrant and colorful, the smells were delicious, and the chefs were all dressed in white uniforms with cute hats on top of their heads. She could definitely see herself running her own restaurant one day and being the top chef.

"Class I'd like you to me Peru." Their instructor Totosai smiled proudly at the handsome French man. "He's originally from France and the top chef here. He has graciously made the time out of his busy schedule to answer any question you might have about cooking French cuisine."

Kagome stared at the handsome man with the golden blonde hair as the students eagerly began to ask him questions. Since most of them were asking the same questions she would have asked, she kept quiet and just admired her surroundings. After a few minutes, she noticed Peru staring in her direction and ignoring the other students. Whoever had gotten his attention, he seemed completely captivated by them. Kagome looked behind her to see who he was watching. The sound of a male's gentle laughter dangerously close to her made her quickly turn around. She found herself face to face with Peru.

He stared down at her with beautiful dark green eyes and gave her the most charming smile. At that exact moment, she felt Inuyasha inside of her. He didn't blink in and blink out like he usually did, this time he stayed right along with her. Kagome could feel his emotions. He was suspicious and irritated at the young man for staring down at Kagome like she was one of his deserts.

"And who might you be?" Peru asked in his French accented voice. "I could not help but notice your beauty from afar."

"I'm Kagome," Kagome said blushing slightly at his intense staring. She could feel Inuyasha's anger building to a slow rage inside of her.

"It's very nice to meet you, Kagome. You are the most gorgeous woman I've ever laid eyes on," Peru bent down and took her hand in his. Before Kagome could stop him, he kissed it.

Inuyasha exploded inside of her. She tried to control his rage, but couldn't.

"FUCK OFF FRENCH BOY BEFORE I KILL YOU"

Kagome let out a gasped and covered her mouth. Her eyes were wide with shock. Had those words just came out of her mouth? She had sounded just like Inuyasha. His voice had became hers. Inuyasha had somehow managed to possess her!

Peru stumbled over his workers as he backed away from Kagome, looking at her with a horrified expression on his face. He turned to Totosai. "I don't know what your game is old man, but you better get that monster out of here!" He yelled angrily. "Demons are not allowed in this restaurant!"

Demon? He thought she was a demon? To say Kagome was humiliated was putting it lightly. She wished the floor would open up and swallow her. She could still feel Inuyasha's rage causing her heart to beat rapidly in her chest. She was so going to kill him when she got home.

"Forgive us, Peru, I had no idea she would react like this. You see, she's newly mated and her..." Totosai tried to apologize but Peru cut him off.

"I don't care what she is, get the hell out of my restaurant and never bring your students here again!" Peru snapped. His face was red and his eyes were blazing as he marched away.

Everyone turned to look at Kagome, some in horror, others in disgust , and a few with pity in their eyes. Totosai pulled Kagome aside. "Kagome can you try to keep your hanyou under control?"

"I'm so sorry, Totosai. I didn't mean to get us kicked out. Inuyasha is still going through his territorial phase."

"Believe it or not Kagome, Inuyasha's father and I use to be good friends. I use to make weapons for him a long time ago when he was younger. Now all I can do is master the art of cooking with my fire's breath for a living. If he's anything like his father, Inuyasha won't ever get over his territorial phase. It's not a phase, my dear, it's who Inuyasha is. You have to make him understand that he has to learn to control himself or he will eventually ruin your chances of trying to live your dream. When you yelled at Peru, your eyes turned red and fangs appeared in your mouth, even your voice changed. It was a sight to terrify anyone coming from such as sweet girl as yourself."

"Oh gods, I'm mortified..." Kagome whispered as she covered her face with her hands.

Totosai patted her on the back. "There, there now. You will be okay." He turned to the other students. "Well I think we've had enough lessons for one day. Let's thank these nice gentlemen for showing us around head back to the bus."

The students thanked the chefs who were brave enough to stay after Kagome's outburst. Kagome left with her head down, too embarrassed to look anyone in the face.

"Hello," a female voice said beside her as she sat on the bus alone in her seat. No one was willing to sit beside her after the incident at the restaurant. She was surprised someone was talking to her. She looked up to see a strange, yet pretty girl staring down at her. Everything about her seemed "white". Her skin was white, her hair was white, even the flower she wore in it was white, except her eyes, they were black as midnight and empty. Kagome shivered slightly as those soulless eyes watched her. The girl had on white shorts and a white t-shirt; she wore white sandals on her feet. "Mind if I sit down?"

Kagome shook her head slowly and scooted to the side to make room. "I don't remember seeing you in our class," she said looking at her curiously.

"Oh, I'm new. You know how the school is always getting late transfer students. My name is Kanna and you're Kagome right?"

"How do you know my name?" Kagome asked. She couldn't help but think she was sitting right beside a ghost.

"Everyone knows you. You're the most popular girl in school. Inuyasha's mate right?"

Kagome nodded, although she didn't feel like being his mate at the moment.

"What's that like...being with a youkai? I mean you were human right?"

Kagome blinked. No one had ever been brave enough to talk about her transition, except for her close friends, Rin and Sango. "Yeah, I'm still human, just half."

"And you carry his traits now? I mean his DNA?"

"Well I never thought of it that way, but I guess you can say that. Why?" Kagome wondered why she was so interested.

"Because I saw the change in you like everyone else," Kanna said. "You were like a completely different person."

"Oh," Kagome said. "Totally embarrassing," she mumbled. "Aren't you afraid of me? Everyone else seems to be."

Kanna shook her head and smiled. Kagome swallowed, even her smile was empty. It didn't light up those soulless eyes or her face. "I'm not exactly normal either if you can tell." Kanna said softly.

"Are you...human?" Kagome asked not knowing how to be sensitive about it.

Kanna laughed softly.

Kagome didn't feel any joy or humor in it.

"I'm human. I just have a condition. Most people would say I'm albino, but my eyes aren't pink."

"Oh I see," Kagome said relaxing a little. At least, she had something to feel secure about now.

Kanna saw the relief on Kagome's face and laughed again. "Did I freak you out? I always have that impression on people when they first meet me. They don't quite know what to make of me."

"Sorry," Kagome said. "I should not be the one feeling strange about anything after what I did."

"I wouldn't blame yourself over that. It seemed it was Inuyasha's fault not yours."

"Yeah," Kagome said smiling a little.

"What's it like being mated to a youkai? Do you have his powers? Are you two bonded?"

Kagome felt Inuyasha in her head again."I don't like her. She asks too many personal questions for someone you've just met."

"Shut up Inuyasha, you're in enough trouble already. Besides, I like her a lot. She's the only one nice enough to treat me like a normal person after your temper tantrum."

"Kagome...I'm sorry..."

Kagome broke contact with him. She was surprised at how easy it was to cut their mental bond when she was angry. She looked at Kanna who was waiting for her to answer her.

"I'm sorry, what did you say? I zoned out a little there."

Kanna gave her a knowing look and smiled. "I just wanted to know what it was like to be mated to a youkai. You know, with you being human and all."

"Very strange," Kagome said truthfully. "It's like being reborn all over again and trying to get use to your new body."

"Wow," Kanna said. "That's crazy."

"You don't know the half of it," Kagome said relieved that she could talk to someone on the bus like normal.

"Well I think it's cool," Kanna said.

"You do?" Kagome looked at her in surprise.

Kanna nodded.

Kagome smiled.

"We should hang out sometime," Kanna suggested. "I'm still kind of new here at the university. Us strange girls got to stick together."

Kagome laughed. "Sure, I'd like that."

The bus ride home was pleasant with Kanna beside Kagome. They talked mostly about the university and Kagome told her about all the strange things that went on there. By the time they got back on campus and got off the bus, Kagome felt completely comfortable around her new friend. They waved good bye to each other and promised to have lunch together after swapping numbers. Kagome smiled as she walked across the campus to her dormitory. She felt a whole lot better than earlier. She opened her mind to see where Inuyasha was so she could avoid him. Luckily for her, he was at football practice. She must have surprised him because he suddenly stumbled with the ball and fell face down on the ground. His teammates tackled him and piled on top of his body. 'Serves him right, the jerk,' Kagome thought. She was definitely sleeping in her own room tonight.

"The hell you are," she heard Inuyasha's irritated voice in her head. Kagome ignored him and got into the elevator to go to her room.

"Take a shower," Inuyasha told her.

"What?" Kagome said out loud causing some of the students in the elevator with her to turn in her direction.

"I don't want Peru's scent all over you when I get home. What type of French name is that anyway? He's probably a fake!"

"Inuyasha, you can't order me to take a shower. Besides he only kissed my hand," Kagome told him.

"That's enough. No man physically touches you unless I know them."

"You are ridiculous, Inuyasha."

The students looked around to see where Inuyasha was at on the elevator. They stared back at Kagome in confusion.

"Woman, if you don't take a shower. I'll throw you in there myself when I get home," Inuyasha threatened.

"Oh I'd like to see you try!" Kagome challenged him.

Inuyasha growled and broke their mental contact.

"Umm, Kagome, are you okay?" One of the students asked.

She stared at them in embarrassment as she realized she'd been speaking out loud. She laughed nervously. "Oh yeah, just thinking out loud to myself. I study way too hard."

They looked as if they didn't believe her, but let her get off the elevator without asking more questions to Kagome's relief. She went to her apartment, flopped down on the couch, and took out her books from her backpack to study.

Two hours later, she was awaken by warm water running over her body. She screamed in shock and tried to scramble away. Two strong arms held her close to a muscular body.

"Stop struggling, it's just me," Inuyasha's voice was muffled from the running water.

"How did you manage to get in my apartment? The door was locked."

"I broke it," Inuyasha said as he soaped up her naked body along with his.

"You broke into my apartment?" Kagome asked in amazement. "Did you forget you have a key?"

Inuyasha didn't answer her. He was too busy staring down at her, his golden eyes were turning darker with desire. "How could you be angry at me for not wanting other men near you? Look at you, you're so beautiful, I can hardly stand it."

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said determine not to let him get to her, although her heart was already pounding in anticipation and her body began to quickly respond to his. "Don't change the subject!"She gasped when he lifted both her legs and wrapped them around his waist. He leaned her back against the bathroom wall and began to place soft kisses down her neck. "I mean it. I'm very angry at you!" Kagome said even though she was growing weaker with each kiss. His lips found her breasts. Kagome let out a squeak when his mouth covered a hard nipple and began to suck lightly. "I...I..." Kagome mumbled as he swirled his hot tongue around her aroused nipple and drew it deeper into his mouth. Damn him. She'd forgotten what she was going to say.

Inuyasha pulled away from her and aligned her body against his. She could feel him, hard and throbbing against her pelvic. "I want you so badly," he whispered. "I'm sorry. I can't wait..." He entered her with one forceful thrust causing them both to moan out loud. "You're already so wet for me," he whispered hotly in her ear as he began to move slowly inside of her. "And always so fucking tight. How do you stay so small when I take you every damn night?" He said in wonder.

Kagome wondered about it herself. Inuyasha was huge inside of her, stretching her to her limits and then, stretching her passed it. She always wondered if she wasn't so aroused, if it would actually hurt when he took her. But the problem was that she was always ready for him. He only had to look at her with those beautiful golden eyes filled with passionate erotic promises and she'd stop dripping like a leaky faucet. It amazed her how quickly her body responded to him, and the fact that she had no control over it was a little scary. Then again, it seemed Inuyasha had no control over himself when it came to her either which made her feel a lot better.

He began to move faster inside of her. His strong arms held her hips tightly to him as the wall supported her back. "Inuyasha," she gasped when he began to thrust deeper, harder.

"I love it when you say my name like that," he whispered between harsh breaths. "You feel so damn good, Kagome. What the hell did I ever do to deserve you?"

Kagome felt the heat rising in her body. She tensed around him and knew she was on the verge of having an orgasm. She wanted to make it last. It was too soon. Inuyasha must have sense she was trying to hold back. He began to pound into her harder and faster.

"No..." Kagome managed to gasp not wanting the wonderful feeling to end. Each stroke brought her the most intense pleasure she'd ever felt in her life.

"Cum for me, Kagome. I want to feel you cum all over my dick and know that I'm the only one that can bring you this amount of pleasure. You're mine. You hear me? No man has a right to touch you, except me!"

Kagome let out a loud cry as she exploded in his arms. Inuyasha held her tightly, possessively. He could feel her milking him, squeezing him as she came. "Mine," he whispered as he lost control and pounded into her, branding her to him like he'd done every night. "Mine," he declared again as his hot seed spilled inside of her and his fangs bit into the side of her neck. Kagome winced at the slight pain, but was too overcome with desire to stop him. She ran her hands down his broad muscular back as he throbbed wildly inside of her and groaned harshly in her ear. She knew no matter how many times they did it, the experience was just as mind blowing to him as it was to her. Afterwards, he always became peaceful and happy, as if all his troubles left him in that special moment they shared. He'd look at her with such a humble and worshipping expression it was enough to cause her to blush and melt her heart. She could never be angry at him when he looked at her that way. Their physical bonding always seemed to tame the demon inside of Inuyasha, but she wondered if she could also tame him emotionally and mentally as well. It would make her life so much easier.
