A Breeder's World

~~~Inuyasha’s P.O.V.~~~

I had still been laughing at the fact we were in so much trouble when I saw Sesshoumaru lick his lips. He stilled for a moment and an unholy gleam entered his eyes. I knew that look. It was the one were he used to chase me down when we were getting to know each other again. I knew I had crossed the line when I saw that look for he made sure to do twice as bad to me as to whatever I had done to him. I had a feeling Kagome was in for it. Though what he was planning I wasn’t entirely sure because I wasn’t sure how attracted he was to her. I shrugged my shoulders trying to push away the jealousy, she was both of ours he had every right to chase her if he wanted but he wasn’t allowed to mark her. These thoughts finally calmed me down and I remembered that we had something to discuss. “Want to tell me now what had you so upset Sesshoumaru?”

He seemed to get angry again at just the mention of whatever it was. “I was looking for a teacher for her powers. I found one that might take her as a student but even if she wants to I might send her away.”

“Oh? Why is that?” This was curious.

“She is exactly what we need given that she is a miko, etiquette teacher, and a midwife. However, she insists on coming to see Kagome and see if she is in any way ‘corrupted’.” My eyes flashed red and now I was angry. There was no way Kagome was corrupted.

“That wench shall pay for those words.” I growled.

“Yes she shall. But that is not all.” he stated angrily.

“There's more to this insult?” Disbelief was in my voice for no one in over a hundred years had insulted our honor.

“She says that she charges more for miko’s who become house breeders to Youkai because the females are more open to temptation in our midst. She gave a whole list of possible reasons for a female to become corrupted and said that she would check Kagome over for any such taint. If any was found she said and I quote ‘set her to rights’.” We both growled and I could see where Sesshoumaru would become pissed off. Hell I was about ready to dissect the unknown woman.

“Feh! She is probably the corrupted one. Do we know any good miko’s that can check her out first?” I was worried about her trying to turn Kagome against us.

“As a matter of fact I do. The problem is whether she is still alive.” i snorted.

“Well we can discuss this more later. It seems we have a concert to attend and negotiations to finish. We might as well see what Kagome has whipped up. Besides its a semi formal concert and I have to change.” I pushed my worries away for now there was still much to do tonight.

“I’ll be up in a minute. I have to set the work to my secretaries so that they remain busy.”

“Okay. Don’t take to long.” and with that i left hoping that i could recover my good mood for Kagome, she was really looking forward to this.

~~~Sesshoumaru’s P.O.V.~~~

Inuyasha had taken the news better then I had thought. The wench would have to wait. Kagome wanted us to attend with her the Drum Concert. Opening my desk drawer I took out some pain relievers made for youkai’s faster digestion. Though drums were better then singers the vibrations would give me a headache. Taking them now gave them a chance to start working before I had to sit down.

With a quick drink they were gone. I stood up brushing off my clothes wondering if I should change. I wanted this for the negotiations and didn’t want to have to come back here to change again. So that said no to the idea of changing. Sighing I walked to the elevator and went down with a pile of papers that my secretaries needed to finish in the next two days. Taking time to outline their net couple of days took longer then I wanted but I was free now until 8 am the day after tomorrow. Reentering the elevator I typed in the code and waited.

Smirking a little at the thought of upping Kagome in the chase left me in a much better mood then a few minutes ago. Stepping off the elevator I could smell something good cooking but it wasn’t done yet. Walking into the kitchen I saw Kagome standing over a pot of soup. Curious to how she good the soup was I quietly came up behind her and wrapped my one arm around and griped her hand to raise the spoon to my mouth. She had jumped at the initial contact but allowed me to taste the soup.

To my surprise it was edible to me. Usually human food tasted to dull or way to spicy for me. looking at her I could see that her face was red. Mentally congratulating myself at seeing the tables turned when I smelled just a hint of arousal. I reluctantly let go and stepped back. She was watching me with an intensity that made me want her more, remembering to keep upping her I gently licked my lips clean and her smell intensified.

“Very good. How much longer?” She seemed dazed as if that wasn’t what she had been expecting me to say.

“Um. About twenty minutes or so I think.” I nodded and sat down at the breakfast table watching her the entire time. Her head ducked shyly and she turned back to her soup. I knew it was getting to her, to not look or to shoo me out of the kitchen. What surprised me was that she had made it through me staring at her and finally placed a bowl of soup in front of me. She sat across and was eating her own bowl when Inuyasha reappeared. He got his own bowl and we all sat in companionable silence eating. My brother and I had refills and then stored the soup away. I gathered my briefcase to take with me for the contracts of negotiations and we set off.

In the chair she sat between us with her hands holding Inuyasha’s but her head was leaning on my shoulder. deciding to be a little bold I put one arm around her shoulders. She didn’t shy away in fact she cuddled closer. Much to my surprise but I wasn’t going to complain. The trip was quiet and we arrived at the rather large ampatheather park.

Inuyasha paid for the way in and we found seats close to the front for Kagome to watch but not so close that Inuyasha’s or my ears would pound to heavily afterwards. They dimmed the lighting in the park and since it was almost 5 p.m. the sun cast a golden glow to the stage. In minutes the concert began.

Kagome was so excited that she held one of my hands and one of Inuyasha’s. I wasn’t so concerned at watching the drummers as I was watching her face. She closed her eyes and sighed in what I believed was contentment. After a while I was finally able to pull away trying not to imagine her face in a similar pose after something much different. Taking a quick look around I noticed several females glaring. Following their gaze I realized they were glaring at Kagome. The scent of their jealousy was strong. When the first set had ended Kagome had opened her eyes. She looked to me first and noticed I was looking at the other females glaring at them for glaring at my breeder.

She must have realized what the stares were about and she played on it. Releasing my hand she reached up and cupped my face bringing it to look at her. She raised herself up and kissed me. Shocked though I was at her being so bold in public i knew she was trying to send a message to the other women so I played along. Only this time it wasn’t a chaste kiss. I felt her lips part slightly against mine and I followed suit. I almost pulled back when her tongue touched mine but her taste that immediately got to me and I ventured deeper. There was a slight after taste of the soup which added to the flavor of the candy I tasted. My blood was starting to boil and I could feel my beast rattling its cage. Eventually she pulled back for air and again I licked my lips tasting the fruit of her lip gloss.

She released my face and I watched her pant. I knew red was swirling in my eyes and I also knew I was painfully aroused. Her scent which I had thought strong earlier was nothing compared to now. I could relate as to why my brother lost control I was a full demon and that scent called even more strongly to me. She leaned and rested her face against my chest and I wrapped an arm around her glancing at my brother.

He looked slightly upset and I knew why. But we had agreed she was ours and a deal between brothers was binding. Even if I wanted to my honor and my word bound my beast from marking her no matter my condition. So I gave him a half smile and whispered to him, “She was trying to make the other women even more jealous. Would you like to join in the fun?” I think he finally looked around and realized that almost the entire section had their eyes on us. All the women were glaring and When Inuyasha saw that he nodded.

He reached for Kagome bringing her relaxed body against him. Kagome looked dazed when he leaned in and kissed her. At first it was chaste but I watched as he deepened it. Kagome being an all to willing participant. I could feel a slight jealousy making itself known to me so I watched the faces of those around us preparing for any trouble. The women had one of three reactions loathing at what had happened, Longing that they were Kagome, or envious to an extreme. The men didn’t look much better wanting such a beauty to themselves.

After the second kiss Kagome had a truly dreamy look about her. Swaying slightly we moved closer to hold her upright. Our arms criss crossed across her back and again she laid her head on my shoulder and took Inuyasha’s hand. She snuggled into the material of my shirt and for the rest of the concert we sat peacefully enjoying one of the rare opportunities to truly relax.

To my ever lasting surprise the concert was good and the vibrations hadn’t been as bad as I expected. It was a memorizing performance with tumblers, jugglers, drummers, and the occasional singer. Just before 7:30 and only half way through the concert we headed back to the sidewalk to call for a chair. Though the day had been stressful being together with her made it all seem to melt away. I wasn’t sure if she was using her powers or not but the feeling felt nice.

It had been a long time since I could relax like this. Too long in my opinion. The chair arrived and again she sat between us though laying her head on Inuyasha’s shoulder then mine.

“That was nice guys . Could we do it again sometime?” Over her head I looked to my brother. he shrugged and I didn’t mind now that I was here.

“Yes This Sesshoumaru would like that.”

“Hey! Kagome I wouldn’t mind going either. The idiot forgot to mention me!”

“This Sesshoumaru did no such thing. I only stated my preference since you didn’t answer.”

“But I..oh never mind. Yes Kagome we both wouldn’t mind doing this again.”

“Good. Wake me when we get there?”

“Yes.” we said in unison.
