The Power of Seven

Chapter Three

Koenma wrote the names down and they were placed inside a warded box. To assure that no one was able to see what they were picking, namely Hiei. He walked up to the men, box in hand and frowned, "Don't everyone grab at once." Kurama was the first to step forward to reach inside. "I say wait to look until everyone has drawn." He knew he was asking for alot but it couldn't be helped. They would be bound to the humans until one of them died. Since they were youkai and the humans had been reborn old age wasn't an option either. He didn't think any of them would kill of their human counterparts after this was done. To do so would be dishonorable, since the humans were giving up as much as them. One could only hope things would turn out alright in the end.

"Agreed," Kurama fisted the paper wondering whom he'd choosen. He had to admit that all the females were appealing. Even Genkai was very beautiful in her younger form. He didn't care who he bonded with, the only difference was on how hard it would be to train them. The one that got Genkai would have the easy job since she knew how to use her spiritual energy already. After it was done silence filled the room, no one wanting to be the first to look. His eyes landed on the girl sitting next to Genkai. The only human female that he had ever felt desire for and never acted upon. If he were to be honest with himself, she was one reason why he'd kept his distance from his friends. He never had any desire to look for a mate much less a human one. It was bad enough he had to go through with the loss of his mother but to lose a human mate only after decades would have been too much for him to bear.

"So who did you get?" Rin asked, the suspense was killing her. "Rin wants to know who got her name." She really didn't care who as long as they were nice. Kagome wouldn't take too kindly to the idea but was willing to do it. She walked up to the friendly redhead and snatched the paper out his hand. "Rin will look for you. Hmm, you got Shizuru." She handed it back to him, noticing the look of shock and then acceptance cross his face. He didn't look upset over whom he'd recieved. "Who has Rin?"

"NO FUCKING WAY!!!" Yusuke screamed, his shoulders slumped in defeat. "Figures out of all the pretty girls here I get stuck with the old lady. I just can't get away from you can I Genkai. Can I pick again?" Yusuke smirked at the scowl she was now giving him. "Atleast I don't have to be worried about being tempted to cheat on Keiko." He saw her bristle under the insult and felt guilty about it. If he was honest with himself, he thought she was the best looking out of all the girls. But she was Genkai, his 'old' mentor and friend.

"Shut up slacker, you don't have to worry about it anyways. I doubt you even know how to make a woman release. Besides I would have prefered someone else, even Hiei would have been prefered. Being stuck with a dimwit isn't my idea of fun." Genkai felt like throwing something at him for the rude comment. Moron didn't stop to consider that atleast he was ending up with someone he already knew instead of a complete stranger. Cheat on Keiko indeed, like she would want to rut with him of all people. The last man she'd been with had been Toguro over seventy years ago. The difference between the two was almost funny. Even as a human Toguro had been a large man while she was very petite. Yusuke was small compared to her former lover, probably more ways than one. She snickered to herself, letting her eyes fall down to his crotch. What the hell was she doing scoping out Yusuke? The dimwit was married and she was still old enough to be his grandmother, didn't matter if her body had reverted back to it's younger age. He was once her pupil and a pain in the ass.

Hiei saw the name on the paper without opening it, he'd known what it said the moment it left the box. He just didn't want to voice the name. It was bad enough he was being forced into doing this but his selection was making it worse. "I have the crude miko." His luck was getting worse, atleast the hyper one would have been easy to overlook. From what he'd seen of this Kagome, she was very bitter. He didn't need to stress of trying to train an angry woman. Not to mention being stuck with her until she was foolish enough to get herself killed. He almost growled to himself, he was about to step into something he wasn't ready for. If he went through with this his own code of honor wouldn't allow her to be killed. If he marked her as his and bonded with her then he would feel honor bound to protect her. Maybe after they were done with this mission she'd return back to the Ningenkai and he'd never have to see her again and get back on with his peaceful existence.

"The name on mine says Sango." Shura spoke up, he dropped the paper on the floor. Was his father really going to make him do this? What about his wishes? He didn't want to bond with a human female. He had to agree with Yusuke they were all pretty but not who he wanted. How was he to get the woman he wanted to be with him with human baggage tagging along? Maybe before he did it he'd be able to put his foot down to the human girl and let her know how things were going to be. He'd do this because he really didn't have a choice. He'd let her know that as far as he was concerned she wasn't bonded to him and he wouldn't treat her as such. He would do as he wished, this wouldn't change anything.

Rin turned to look at the tall man standing near the window, he was the only one left. Which meant he had her name, yet he hadn't spoken. Was something wrong with him? She skipped over to him and stopped directly in front of him. The top of her head didn't come up to his chest, ending midway between navel and nipple. "You have Rin, that makes her happy. You are strong just like my Lord, you will make Rin proud." She could sense just how powerful he was. One only needed to look at him to see he was a force to be reconded with. He would make sure the bad guys were stopped and she would help him. Yes, that's what she would do.

Yomi frowned, she was actually happy about it. He could tell in her movements and her voice. Everyone else in the room was trying to accept what they didn't want while she had not only accepted but seemed to be looking forward to it. He heard her soft giggle as she made her way back over across the room. Her voice and behavior almost reminded him of a child. Her scent and movements told him that she was far from it, she was a mature female. Her scent was very pleasant also. Most of the humans he'd come across to either kill or eat had disturbing scents. The smell of sweat and dirt clinging to their skin. This girl was very clean, when she'd stood under him he was sure he had gotten a quick whiff of vanilla. Atleast being around her wouldn't cause him to lose his lunch.

Rin plopped back down on the chair and turned to the tall woman. "You look sad. It's okay, you got the pretty man. He seems nice and he has a cute tush. I saw you checking it out earlier as we were walking in, so you should be happy." A hand clapped around her mouth. She tried to pry it away and finish talking. What was the miko doing? She hadn't said anything wrong, the girl had been staring at the man's backside.

"Kind of blunt aren't you." Shizuru had to laugh seeing the girl trying to speak through Kagome's hand. She wasn't really sad about being paired with Kurama. She would prefer over any of the others in the room. It was the whole situation, she could feel it in her bones. "It's not that. I can feel something, it's in the air. Like a great anger is hanging over our heads just bidding it's time." It left her very scared, she wasn't a fighter. No doubt they would be trained to do what was needed. Why did she have to be one of the ones to do it? Then again it meant she'd stay young forever, every woman's dream. She'd probably never have to worry about wrinkles. Someone would kill her long before she got any gray hair.

"Well now for everyone to grab the next set." Koenma finished the two slips then added three blank inside with them. They came back to pick, Yusuke grumbled about not wanting to mark a man. He was the first to look at his slip and sigh in relief. Shura and Yomi were next, both had recieved blanks as well.

"I guess Hiei and I should see who we got." Kurama opened the slip knowing a name was written on it. "I got Kenji, so Hiei has Sano. Might I suggest that we do the bondings as soon as we can. Most of them will need training before the city is completely free. We don't have time to waste." Postponing it would only make some of the people in the room more hesitant. Best to get it over with before anyone could change their minds. Trying to convince them all over again would waste time they didn't have. He looked over and smiled, Shizuru had just lit a cigarette. He'd have to break her out of that habit. Even if they never took the bonding to a higher level she'd still be under his care. He'd protect her, even if it was from herself.

"Yes, Kurama is right. Rin come with me, I refuse to do it in public." Yomi turned towards the door, the small girl jumped up and quickly followed behind him. She was humming to herself, as if she didn't have a care in the world. The green imp got up as well and began trailing after them. He turned to him, so the imp was hers. "She will not be needing you, I suggest you go wait in the conference room for her return. Don't worry I have no intention of doing anything more than marking her. My tastes don't run to human." He heard the girl giggle at the comment, shouldn't she be insulted?

Sango saw the young man that had picked her name stand there clenching his fist. Figures, she'd get the one that was being completely forced. He would surely take it out on her. If he posed to be too much of a problem, she would tell him to get lost. Once the bonding was done she really didn't want to see his face again. If he was to be the one to train her that could pose a problem as well. Her eyes fell to Kagome, who was being paired with two men. "Well, you told me once that you wondered what a threesome would be like."

Kagome turned to her face red, "WHAT? I didn't say anything of the sort. If either of them try to touch me I'll purify their ass. I don't want a man touching me if he doesn't have to." This Sano didn't look to happy about it either. The one that had picked them looked pissed. He'd looked pissed the whole time anyways, maybe he was one of those people that was mad at the world. What had she gotten herself into? She should have stayed in the past with her memories. Why couldn't she have lived the rest of her life in misery? She was meant to be alone, not bonded to two men she didn't know. Wasn't it enough that she wasn't meant to find love. Now she was going to be stuck with two men she didn't know. If her instincts told her anything, one would treat her with polite indifference and the other with open animosity.

Sano didn't like the way the small man was glaring at him. One would think they'd be more appreciative of what he was willing to do. He'd left his home to come to this strange place and help them. The girl that he was being paired with looked ready to make a run for the door. Her shoulders were tense and he was sure he could see the shine of tears in her eyes. What was she thinking about? He reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder, her head snapped up. Then he frowned when her hand slapped his away. "What the hell? No need to be so bitchy, I was just trying to let you know it would be okay."

Kenji sighed, "She's a little upset Sano, you can't blame her. I agree though, we need to do this as soon as possible. Many lives are at stake, we must all do our part." He pushed the chair he was sitting in back, it scraped across the floor. The other redhead man was still looking at the girl smoking, "Where should we do this?" The man seemed intellegent and had a calm manner, this couldn't be that bad.

"Yomi usually keeps a room just for me, I suggest we go there for it." Kurama walked over to Shizuru, she turned to him and tried smiling. "Are you okay with this?" Her hand came up to brush her hair off her shoulder. His eyes landed on the gentle curve of her neck, where he would place his mark. He'd always admired her spirit and quick wit, now she would belong to him.

"Just great, I just got paired up with my favorite redhead. The other guy is kind of cute also." She saw both of them blush, this might turn out to be entertaining. "I might have to try out Kagome's idea of a threesome and let her know if it's worth trying." Genkai snickered, Sango gasped and Kagome tried to slide under the table. Shizuru stood up taking the hand that Kurama was offering.

"I'll show the rest of you to a room if you'd like." Shura walked out of the room expecting them to follow. He'd have a few words with his father in private later. Maybe he'd make sure the human girl had an accident after she'd done her part. He wouldn't allow himself to be stuck with a human. She could live as long as him if he didn't do something about it.


Rin stood in the room waiting for Yomi to return to her. The room was beautiful, bigger than anything she'd seen before. The bed was massive and she had the urge to go jump on it. The one time her Lord had visited his home, his room had a bed. Jumping on it had given her hours of enjoyment. Yomi said something about making sure rooms were prepared for everyone then a bath for her later. Did he think she stunk? She turned her head and sniffed near her shoulder. Nope, the stick stuff Kagome gave her was still there. Maybe he was one of those youkai that didn't like the way humans smelt.

She started shifting her feet, boredom quickly coming. She had never liked to stand still, it wasn't her thing. Her eyes landed on the large bed, it looked so thick. Maybe just a quick jump before she was made to leave the room. Her hand went to her shoes and slipped them off along with her socks. She ran over and climbed up, it was excredibly soft and springy. Laughter erupted from her throat as she got to her feet. The blanket was soft and silky under her feet, her toes crinkled feeling the material.

The first bounce almost made her fall over, slippery. Soon, she got her footing right and began jumping. The springs gave under her meager weight only to push her up in the air. Her hand reached up, trying to hit the ceiling. The distance became regular still leaving her over two feet from the ceiling. The door opened but she continued to bounce, not wanting to end her fun.

Yomi heard the constant sound of the springs giving way from his bed and frowned. There wasn't the smell of arousal in the air, just the girl's laughter and the smell of her excitement. She was actually jumping on the bed, like a child. Was she mentally challenged or still immature in her state of mind? "What do you think you are doing girl?"

Rin looked over at him, he was frowning. "What does it look like? Rin is jumping on your bed, it's really good for jumping. Want to come up? It's the most fun." She smiled at him, ignoring the frown that was increasing. Why have a bed this big if he wasn't going to use it for playing on? Besides sleeping what else was a bed good for?

"Get down and come here." He gave the order in a harsh voice trying to intimidate her. She merely sighed in disappointment and jumped off soaring through the air. Her feet landed hard on the floor, she almost toppled over from the force. There was nothing graceful or dignified about it, for some reason that didn't bother him. It wouldn't have went with what he'd seen of her personality so far. She seemed carefree and very innocent, this Lord Sesshoumaru must have coddled her. "We will speak before this is done. There are a few things you will know. When this is done, it will state that you belong to me. After the city is gone and if both of us are still alive the bond will still be there. I never had any attentions of taking a mate, I will not do so now. I have my own preferences where rutting are concerned. I don't wish to be tied to just one woman, I like a variety which is why I have refrained from taking a youkai mate. I will mark you and form the bond but that is where it ends. You will be welcome to stay here after with my protection or you can return home, it matters not. Don't try to dictate my actions, I will not take lightly to a nagging woman trying to tell me what to do. I have no intention of taking you to my bed. I will continue to find my pleasure elsewhere. Is this understood?"

"Rin understands, you want to be with other women. Rin isn't to tell you not to. This is okay, Rin wants you to be happy." She knew what he meant, Jaken had explained some things to her. Such as males are allowed to find their pleasure elsewhere while the female was suppose to remain faithful. Kagome and Sango told her different but they weren't youkai. Besides he wasn't going to mate with her so he would want to mate with someone else. What harm could come of that?

"Good, now do as I say." Yomi pulled the shirt over his head. The moment his bare chest came into view he sensed several changes in her. Her mouth dropped making an incoherent sound, her pulse quickened and her scent spiked. "You will need to remove yours as well. Don't worry I can't see you." Though he could make out all her movements and most of what she was feeling. Her fingers were now working in a jerky movement trying to remove her top. Heat was coming from her cheeks, her embarrassment causing her to become flush. The shirt fell to the floor, he reached out to bring her closer. "We will have to share blood to form the bond then I will mark you. I hope you don't have a distaste for blood."

Rin watched as he ran his finger along a very nice breast. His chest was broad giving form to the shoulders and trim waist. A line formed, blood started to leak out dripping down his flat stomach. His hand went to the back of her head, pulling her towards him. She had to stand on her tiptoes to bring her mouth over the wound. The taste was bitter, almost like metal but she let it fill her mouth and forced herself to swallow. His intake of breath was heard when she ran her tongue over the cut. More blood came forth and she willed herself to down it, not wanting to anger him.

"Enough," He pulled her head away, knowing she had consumed more than enough for the bond to work. He frowned in confusion, his body had reacted to feeling her tongue. Instead of thinking on it her told her to stand still. She placed her hands at her sides and stood erect, almost like a good soldier. He felt a chuckle wanting to come forward. He suddenly wished he could see as his hand camed down to land on the curve of her breast. Her intake of breath was soon followed by her shout of pain.

"Owie, that hurt you big meanie." Rin felt like kicking him in the shin. The tip of her breast was stinging from the cut he'd just made. Before she could give in to the urge he knelt in front of her. His mouth latched onto the pouring wound and began to suck. She winced at first, the initial sting soon dulled. Then another sensation started, forming in the pit of her stomach. His horns were pressing into her almost painfully as his hand went around her back pulling her closer. She moaned feeling his tongue sliding across the smooth flesh. "You are making Rin feel funny."

Yomi felt his own body react at smelling her arousal. Her lack of knowledge reminded him of who she was, he reigned in the feelings. He removed his mouth and made his way up to her neck. Not wanting to prepare her for it meant licking the area, also a stimulant. The smell was already getting to him, he didn't need it to get stronger. He bit down quickly, her hands came up to grab his waist. The tiny fingers squeezing in pain, her nails dug into his flesh. She began to squirm as he dug deeper, releasing more blood.

Rin stumbled back when he finally let her go and frowned. "That hurt, Rin thinks you like hurting her and doesn't like you anymore." She stuck her tongue out at him and turned around. Her hand went to her neck feeling the blood oozing out the wound. The door opened for her by itself letting her back out into the hall. She'd head back into the big room and wait for the others. Maybe Jaken would be able to tend to the bite mark.


Kurama escorted both of them in his room, he was glad that it was just as he left it. He knew that deep down even if Yomi had accept that he'd given up his past as Youko, he had hopes that one day the fox would return. He wasn't sure if he'd go back now or stay in his human appearance. To do this he would need to transform. He waited for both of them to get settled before speaking. "First we will need to share blood with each other. The wound will be placed near your heart, just a small cut. Enough to draw blood nothing major. I will have to retain my youkai form during the process, so don't be alarmed Kenji."

"Are you telling me I have to get down to my bra for this?" Shizura saw Kurama nod and smirked. Great she was already stripping in front of them. Atleast it was Kurama and not Yusuke or Hiei. Not to mention the other two, they didn't look too friendly. "Alright but I'm keeping the bra on. You haven't earned the right to see what's underneath yet."

A blush crossed his face as he transformed into Youko. "Are you saying that I have a chance to earn the right?" He heard her pulse pick up, she shifted nervously. He scolded himself for thinking about it, would he want to try it? This was Shizuru, one of his friends. He turned to the other man, who was looking calm. Underneath the hidden facade was someone very nervous, unsure of what to do. "You will have to take off your shirt as well. I think the worst part will be for you. You will have to share blood also, which means putting your mouth on my chest and me yours. Just long enough to swallow to form the bond."

"Does that mean I get to sample both of your chests? My my, aren't I the lucky one." Shizuru saw the fox's ear twitch in amusement. This wouldn't be so bad, not for her anyways. She'd probably be embarrassed having both of them licking her chest but a girl could make some sacrafices. She had to admit that Kurama was adorable in his human form but as Youko he was downright sexy. "So where do I suck?"

"Watch how you phrase that or you might not be ready for the answer I'm willing to give." Youko laughed seeing her cheeks turn bright red. She had left herself wide open for the crude comment, he'd been more than happy to oblige. Kenji was opening the shirt exposing his chest to them, ready to get it over with. Maybe he should take advantage of the situation and see about sating his curiousity about his friend's sister. His eyes turned to the girl and waited.

Shizuru went for the blouse and began undoing the buttons. Her fingers were trembling making it take some time to complete her task. It came off her shoulders, then she placed it on the bed. "Not a damn word." She crossed her arms, hiding most of herself from both sets of eyes. She just had to be wearing her most revealing bra made out of lace.

"Maybe you should take it off. It would be a shame to have your blood stain the white material." Youko suggested wanting to see the round globes without the obstruction of the lacey bra. She extended her finger for him and frowned. So he'd been hoping for too much it seemed. Oh well, time to get on with it. He brought a claw over his left breast, slicing the skin. "Shizuru you go first."

She stepped towards the fox, not sure if she could do it. The thought of sucking blood was horrid, didn't matter if it was Kurama's. She brought her mouth down and closed her eyes. The copper taste filled her mouth almost gagging her. A hand went to the back of her head holding her still. A moan was heard, 'He's getting off on it.' She opened her mouth wider and sunk her teeth into the skin. He hissed in pain and released her head. "I think I've had enough."

Youko waited for Kenji to step forward, the boy did the same as Shizuru but without the biting. He would see that he returned the favor very shortly. Once the boy was done he told Kenji to prepare himself. Not a sound was made as a similiar cut was made. Youko went first, letting enough slide down his throat. Shizuru groaned when she stepped in front of him. He watched as the woman lowered her head to the boy's chest. The boy responded this time and moaned as she sucked on his chest.

Shizuru heard Kenji's moan then Youko's growl. She released the pink flesh, now she wanted to go brush her teeth. She felt hands turn her around to face the fox. His hand came up to latch on her left breast. Her eyes widened then the stinging pain of him cutting her was felt. Out of instinct her fist came up to slam into his jaw. He backed up from the blow, his eyes flashed in anger. "Oops, sorry about that. You could have warned me."

"Kenji, you go first." Youko rubbed his jaw, she had a solid punch. He'd seen Kuwabara be on the recieving end of it many a time but had never felt it. No wonder the man was scared of her. His eyes turned as the boy stepped up to place his mouth over the swell of the girl's breast. Her eyes closed, her hands were fisted at her sides. Unlike with him the boy didn't pull up right away, a moan escaped Shizuru's lips. The smell of arousal soon filled the air, he placed his hand on Kenji's shoulder getting his attention. "My turn."

Kenji nodded and stepped back, suddenly ashamed of what he'd just done. He had to do the blood thing out of need but he had begun to enjoy it. The thought of kissing her breast had affected him. Enjoyment had filled him, plus the desire to bed her. He'd never been with a woman, wanting to wait until he was married. It was how he'd been raised, it wasn't proper to bed someone you weren't married to. Would he ever get married now? Then again wasn't he doing just that now but in youkai terms?

Shizuru knew she was in for it the moment the fox got in front of her. His smile made a chill run down her spine, he was about to get even. For the bite and the punch, she held her breath. He lowered his head, unlike Kenji who'd kept his hands to himself, Youko cupped her breast with his hand. His mouth latched onto the cut, his tongue came out to probe. It stung for a brief second, he licked as the blood flew freely. She felt her knees get weak when his thumb ran over her nipple. It hardened under the rough touch, he grinned against her skin.

Her soft moan was music to his ears, he lapped at the blood. He'd already taken what was needed but didn't want to give up his fun. The smell of her arousal became stronger enticing him to continue. Her hand came up to fist in his hair, trying to remove his mouth. He growled and bit down, his teeth didn't break the skin but inflicted enough pain to get the point across.

She felt the ache forming between her legs as he nibbled on her. His mouth began to move lower getting close to the tiny pebble he was stroking. There was no way in hell she was going to let him do that. She took a few steps back pulling away from him. His brow lifted, then he frowned. The fox turned to the boy waving him closer. His fangs were bared seconds before he plunged them into the boy's neck. She almost ran out the room seeing the look of pain crossing his features.

Youko pulled away from him, giving the wound a quick lick to ensure it healed properly. Then turned to the girl who was backing away. "Come here Shizuru, so I can mark you. It has to be done." He moved towards her, his speed not leaving her time to react. His hand went to her neck pulling her closer. He licked the tender spot, cleaning it and she relaxed. He sunk his fangs in, she stiffened against him. He let her go when it was over, "Now, you both belong to me."


Genkai followed Yusuke into the small room, wondering if the boy even knew what to do. He looked nervous, his shoulders were tense. She almost felt pity for him but then he chose that moment to open up his smart ass mouth.

"So lets get this done and over with. Before I change my mind about being bonded to you Grandma." Yusuke threw his hands behind his head, not sure of what to do. He'd never really gotten into being a youkai. After losing the first tournament he'd went back to the Ningenkai to be with Keiko. So taking a mate as a youkai wasn't something he knew how to do. "So how do we do it?"

"You moron, figures you don't know what you are doing once again. First we have to share blood then you have to mark me. It's simple really, you'll have to take off your shirt and so will I." Her hands went to the edge of her shirt, it would have to come completely off for it. His jaw dropped when he noticed what she was doing. "Get over it Yusuke and hurry up."

Yusuke couldn't imagine why they'd have to take their shirts off. Not like Genkai had never seen him without his but he'd had yet to see her without one. True she'd always been in her granny form except for a few occasions. She was giving him an odd look, he might as well get it done. "Fine but don't think you're getting me to take off my pants." He yanked the shirt over his head, then tossed it to the bed. He watched her finish removing her own and frowned. She actually had a nice set of breasts, they were small and proportioned to her small frame. They were round, firm and a nice handful for him. He couldn't believe she'd been hiding those under that shirt all this time. "Nice tits."

"Hn, pervert. Now, you'll have to cut us both on the top of our left breast. Nothing big just enough to bleed, you go first." She watched him make the incesion over his toned chest. He had a nice chest for someone so scrawny. Who would believe all the power that lay below the surface? She grinned as she stepped forward, he was still taller than herself. Her tiptoes were needed in order to reach the blood. He jerked when her mouth made contact, her tongue came out to press against the small cut. She probed it, causing more blood to flow. His hand came up to fist in her hair, she saw the markings begin to appear on his chest and arms.

Yusuke groaned at the pain she was inflicting with her probing. For some strange reason it was causing his body to react, his blood was begining to heat up. He'd swear he was getting turned on. His groin twitched as her tongue dipped once more, tasting him. Deep down he could feel that she'd had enough but she continued to suck on him. He couldn't bring himself to make her stop, enjoying to feel of her mouth way too much. His mind screamed that he should be enjoying what was taking place, his body said it felt too good not to find it pleasurable. Thoughts of what else she could do with that small mouth came to mind.

Genkai released him and took a step back. His hand was still in her hair, his breath coming in short pants. "Remember make it small and watch what you do." His eyes opened to peer down at her, there was a strange light in them. She had enough experience to know what the glazed over look was, lust. Her dimwit had enjoyed her feeding off him a little too much. His hand came up, his thumb trailing across the top of her breast. It caused a shiver to run down her spine. "Hurry, it up Yusuke." She stopped the hiss of pain before it could pass her teeth.

Yusuke had to get to his knees, then lowered his head over the cut he'd made. His hand slid up her back holding her in place. The warm liquid poured into his mouth, filling him with the taste of her. He began to suck, mocking the motion she had done before. He felt like swearing when his body reacted to this as well. The swell of her breast was extremely soft under his lips. A small moan came from her chest exciting him. His hand rubbed her back as he suckled. His tongue felt it as the wound began to close as her power began to heal the small scratch. The taste of blood was gone now leaving just the taste of her flesh. The small of her back was found, his hand sliding gently over the indent.

He took a deep breath as his tongue moved lower, working it's way across the swell. Her hand finally left her side, unable to keep from planting it in his thick hair. Her eyes closed, her body was gradually coming to life. Hormones that she'd forgotten existed came back to remind of her of what she'd been missing. The ache began between her legs, shivers coursed through her body. His free hand came up to cup the small breast keeping it still while he explored.

Yusuke felt the tiny pebble poking through the thin fabric, his let his mouth seek it out. The taste of cotton stung his tastebuds, a growl was heard from him before inserting the large hand to remove the small globe from it's confines. Her startled gasp was heard yet he ignored it wanting to play with the hardened nipple. His mouth latched onto it, his teeth caught the peak. His nostrils flared, a scent wafted up filling his senses. It was husky and was coming from Genkai. The urge to taste where the scent was coming from consumed him. Instead he teased the nipple with his tongue, bringing another moan from the small woman.

"Stop Yusuke," Genkai used force to remove his head. Things were getting out of hand, she had to stop it. She couldn't be making out with her former pupil. It was getting hard to still think of him as such. It had been easy to ignore the fact that he was very appealing before.She had been an elderly woman in her seventies. Now she was back in her younger state permanently, she could see him in a different light. Through the eyes of a young woman but it still didn't make it right. He was married to Keiko, this bonding was out of need not want. Twenty years had passed since she'd last set eyes on him, he hadn't changed much. She wondered if she even knew the boy standing in front of her. "You have to mark me now."

Yusuke stood up looking at the creamy skin along her neck. His instincts were now telling him what to do. She was pulled close to him, he could feel the heat radiating off her small form. Fangs protruded from his mouth wanting to bury deep in her flesh. Somewhere deep down he felt the want, he wanted to do this. She tensed as he bit down, placing his mark. Blood filled his mouth once more, his tongue came out to lick the wound. He stepped back from her, feeling the bond form.

"I believe we are done here, I suggest we return to the conference room and wait for the others." Genkai went to fetch her shirt, a small blush was staining her cheeks. She wasn't about to speak of what had happened, no need to embarrass the boy. She could hear him behind her doing the same, a heavy sigh was also heard. "Don't worry about it Yusuke."

He watched her turn around with a lopsided grin on her face, it helped to ease some of his tension. Should he apologize for letting things get out of hand? He'd done more than he should have, he'd gotten fresh with her. Her large brown eyes held amusement and all at his expense. "Don't laugh at me you, you old hag." She shrugged then turned to walk out the door. "Wait, I'm glad you are okay Genkai. It's good to see you again."

"You too, dimwit."

Sango could feel the anger coming off the youkai in front of her. He'd just shown Kagome and the other two to a room then turned to continue walking down the hall with her in tow. Not a word was spoken between them, which was fine with her. She really didn't have anything to say to him. He was as unhappy about this as she was. It it weren't for Kagome and Rin willing to go through with it as well she'd have turned around and went home. This wasn't her idea of a joke or something she wanted to do. Being marked by a youkai actually meant a lot even if none of the other humans didn't realize it. It meant that she would belong to him. No other youkai would approach her in a sexual manner. To do so would be challenging the other's claim and a fight to the death usually followed. Most of the time it wasn't a matter of caring but pride. He would be expected to protect her and treat her as an equal. Somehow she had the feeling that this man wouldn't see it that way.

She walked into the room behind him, the door slid closed behind her. The room was very beautiful, must be nice when your father was the King. He was probably spoiled and thought himself above others. The way he'd looked her earlier was enough to let her know what he thought of marking a human. Another youkai that thought himself better than she.

Shura turned to her, "Remove your top so we can do this, I have other business to attend to. I don't want to waste time in here with you." He frowned when she glared at him, anger flashed in her eyes. Her hand tightened around the strap on the large weapon. Would she really consider attacking him? Surely this human girl wasn't that brave, not many were. He crossed his arms in annoyance and returned the glare. "Listen girl, if I am to do this then you best hurry before I change my mind. The idea of bonding with you leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. You should also know that I may claim you but I don't want you near me. I will do as my father tells me. Lucky for me that he will never insist that I actually mate with you since he despises humans more than I do."

"Whatever, like I would allow a digusting youkai to lay his filthy hands on me. I don't want this either, so let's get it done. I'll try not to vomit when you have to touch me." Sango had to admit he was very nice looking. His face greatly resembled the man he called father with a few differences, his was more boyish. Plus there was only one horn centered on his forehead, it was small. His eyes were a deep violet that didn't belong on him. Eyes that pretty should be on someone that could actually smile. If she had to guess he was about seven feet in height, very broad also. His body screamed power and strength, no wonder he was so damn cocky.

She put her weapons down, then went to removed the top of her taijiya outfit. She noticed his eyes followed her every movement, probably wanting to make sure she didn't go for her sword. Kagome had given her a few bras, thankfully she was wearing one now. The idea of letting him see her bare breasts wasn't on her to-do list. "There, I thought you wanted to hurry and do this."

Shura didn't bother taking off his shirt but undid the wrap around his waist. The shirt fell open exposing his chest to her. Wanting to hurry, he sliced above his breast. He was surprised that she knew exactly what it entailed, she stepped forward. A look of disgust crossed her face before she brought her mouth down on him. Her lips were soft and enticing, brushing across his skin with the lightest of touches. He closed his eyes not wanting to see the human taking his blood.

Sango let the gross liquid fill her mouth, she knew she only needed to take enough to form the bond. She felt it the second it began to work and jerked back. The man opened his eyes when she backed away. His hand came out to cut her, she cried out in pain. The gash was larger than the one he'd inflicted on himself. Blood began to pour down her chest, staining the white bra in seconds. His hand grabbed her arm painfully pulling her close. His mouth landed on the curve of her breast, she could actually hear him swallowing. It only took several seconds for him to get what was required. Before she could bitch at him for cutting her so deep he buried his fangs into her neck. The pain caused her to scream, he wasn't being gentle about it.

He picked his head up, her blood smeared across his lips and chin. He wiped it off with the back of his hand, a look of hatred in place. "Must scream like that? It was just a little bit of pain. Being human must be a fate worse than death. Not being able to withstand any pain." He sneered at her, anger laced his voice. He had just sealed his fate, he was stuck with this girl.

Sango saw red at the comment. She knew that he could have prepared her for it to lessen the pain. Yet he hadn't, he'd meant to cause her the most pain possible. Her foot shot forward when he started laughing at her. It connected with his crotch, the impact sounding in the room. He fell to his knees, he didn't scream but the look of anguish on his face was enough for her. "How's that for pain?" She grabbed her top and Hiriakotsu wanting to get out of the room quickly.

Kagome wanted to run out the room screaming at the unfairness of it all. Why had she gotten stuck with two strangers? The tall guy didn't seem that bad, if only on the irritating side. The short one had yet to remove the angry look from his face. Why couldn't she have gotten the smiling redhead?This wasn't her day, or decade for that matter. First she lost Inuyasha, now she was stuck with these two.

"Let's get this done quickly and without any hassle. I suggest you remove your shirts to make it easier. Don't worry miko, no one is going to take advantage of you." Hiei removed his the black tanktop he was wearing and watched as the tall man, shrugged out of his. The only one hesitating was the girl. "Get on with it, it's not like we've never seen a pair of breasts before."

"Fine, impatient jerk." She removed the bow from her back along with the quiver, both went to the floor. Her hands jerked the material off her head, she muttered to herself the whole time. The short man smirked and an audible 'woah' was heard from the tall man near her. She placed the shirt on the floor next to her weapons. She crossed her arms trying to cover up what could be seen past the bra.

Hiei told them both what was to be done then went to it. The girl surprised him by stepping forward quickly and placing her mouth on the cut he'd just made. She had to bend her knees some steady herself. "Enough, step back. Hurry up before it closes fool." He saw the anger flash in Sano's eyes and smiled. Let him try something, he was looking for a good fight.

Sano couldn't believe he was being reduced to sucking someone's blood. It was disgusting and made him want to puke. The girl had done it, he couldn't let her show him up. He grimaced as he was forced to put his mouth on the short man. The blood was hot and bitter, it slid down his throat. He managed to swallow a couple mouthfuls then Hiei pulled back.

Kagome frowned when she was forced to do the same to the tall man. His chest was more built than Hiei's, his shoulders were also broader. She wasn't fooled though, Sano was nothing compared to the small youkai when it came down to strength and power. Hiei was the first to drink from the man, a look of indifference stayed on his face. Kagome stepped forward mentally planning on throwing herself off the highest tower later. Sano grinned down at her as she placed her mouth on his chest. "You wish," She bit down on the cut wanting to inflict pain equal to what she was feeling in her soul. Blood rushed out, it was cooler than Hiei's but more bitter.

Kagome eyed Hiei when he reached for her, "Cut me more than needed and I'll purify your ass and the Makai can go fuck itself." A grunt was the only answer she got, it was done so quick she didn't realize she was bleeding until Sano stepped forward. His mouth covered it, he was chuckling the whole time. His enjoyment of the situation was grating on her nerves. He stepped back when Hiei placed a hand on his elbow. Kagome waited for the small youkai to step in front of her. The urge to run filled her, she wanted to get away from him. He grabbed both of her arms as if sensing her fear. She hissed in pain as his tongue dug into the cut trying to get it to bleed more. "Careful that's attached." The small tongue flicked over the bare skin in a lapping motion. She was sure he hadn't drank from Sano in the same manner. A growl was heard as his teeth sunk into the swell of her breast.

Hiei felt the blood pool into his mouth from the bite, the thickness spoke of great power. His beast came to life at the taste, he let his saliva coat the twin holes. Then he worked his way up to her neck, his hand fisted in her hair. He yanked her head aside, bearing her throat for him. He cleaned the area, using his saliva to numb it. His teeth sank deep, marking her as his. He released his hold on her, shock filled her eyes. He turned to the tall man indicating that he should get to his knees. Sano knelt down allowing the man to bite him.

Sano noticed that he didn't recieve the same treatment as the girl. The man sunk his fangs into his neck, he didn't cry out. The girl hadn't either but something told him the small man had made sure not to cause her any pain. The fangs left his neck, a strange feeling began. His guess the effects of the bond. If this was the extent of the bonding then he could deal with it.
