The Importance of Being A Youkai's Mate

A/N: I've started writing back on this story. Sorry about the long wait! Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Kagome was the first to wake up. Immediately, she noticed she was feeling a whole lot better than last night. The cuts and scratches had completely disappeared from her skin. Inuyasha lay next to her with his arms and legs wrapped tightly around her body. She wanted to take a look at herself in the mirror, but first she had to get away from the possessive hanyou that held her so tightly in his sleep. It was as if he was afraid she would leave him. After last night, she suppose she couldn't blame him for feeling that way.

Kagome slowly untangled herself from Inuyasha very carefully. The last thing she wanted to do was wake him up. She was not in the mood to be yelled at first thing in the morning. Once she'd gotten free, she very cautiously crawled across the enormous bed making her way to the foot. She didn't seen Inuyasha's ears twitch or his eyes slightly open. She'd just made it to the end of the bed when a hand suddenly grabbed her ankle.

"Ahhhh!" Kagome yelled out and tried to grabbed ahold of the blanket and sheets to stop Inuyasha from pulling her towards him. Ofcourse, the bed sheets were no match against the irritated hanyou. Kagome's was dragged back across the bed on her stomach. Inuyasha grabbed her arm, flipped her on her back and glared down at her.

"Umm…good morning," Kagome gave him a big grin.

"Where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha asked quietly, his golden eyes glittering sharply.

"I can see you're still upset over last night," Kagome said. "Let's not make a huge deal over this today. I mean, look at me, I'm all healed up. I'm okay, you're okay, we're all OKAY!"

She let out a small squeak of terror when Inuyasha slammed his hand on the other side of her head and began to move over her. He growled as if warning her not to move. "Inuyasha, you're kind of scaring me," Kagome whispered.

"Are you really okay, Kagome? Maybe I should check for myself," Inuyasha flicked out a claw and slowly slid it down the flimsy silk gown she was wearing.

Kagome closed her eyes tightly as she heard it tearing, ripping to pieces easily under his sharp claw. The material fell to the sides revealing her naked body for his eyes.

"Look at me," he demanded.

Kagome opened her eyes and stared into his golden ones. She watched as his eyes slid down her body and back up again making sure she was completely healed.

"Good," he said. "Now I can have you."

"What?" Kagome asked not catching on to his meaning until he leaned and took a hard nipple his mouth.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome grabbed his white hair in surprised as he continued his onslaught on her sensitive breasts. He hadn't even kissed her and yet her body was already aching for his. This instant control he had over her sexuality was so damn irritating and yet felt so good at the same time. She knew in her heart she'd never be able to control herself around him, no matter how he approached her. Her body was his slave.

"Mine," Inuyasha said as if reading her thoughts.

'Yours,' her body answered silently by becoming incredibly aroused and wet for him.

"Inuyasha," Kagome pulled his head up to look into his eyes. She wanted him to kiss her. Instead, she nearly screamed at what she saw. His golden eyes were turning red. "Inuyasha!"

"My body," a rougher voice that wasn't Inuyasha's spoke. Inuyasha suddenly shook his head as if trying to fight whatever seemed to be taking over him. "Kagome, don't be afraid," he said in his regular voice. "It's just the demon inside of me wanting to claim you."

'The demon inside of him?' Kagome thought. She'd known he was half youkai and human, but she'd never met the demon until now. Why was it showing itself now of all times?

"My body does not run away from me," it said once again taking over. "My body does not let another youkai scent cover it! My body does not get hurt!"

Was it scolding her? Kagome wondered staring up at the red eyed Inuyasha in fascination and fear. His beautiful long white hair looked like it had been shocked as a few short strands stood up. Kagome eyes widened as sharp fangs began to grow from his mouth.

"I'm sorry!" She said quickly. She must have seriously pissed it off from her little stunt last night.

"Kill anyone; kill anything that hurts this body." It leaned down and licked the side of her face.

Kagome realized she was seeing the animalistic side of Inuyasha, the part that made him so possessive; protective, aggressive; his natural instincts come to life. Even though this was her first time meeting the demon face to face, it was still a part of Inuyasha and she trusted it not to hurt her. She stared up at the red streaks that suddenly appeared on the side of his face. Sesshoumaru had marking like these, but they were permanent.

Inuyasha suddenly moved down, his tongue trailed down her body, down her stomach, until he found what he was searching for. "Mine," it growled again.

Oh god! Kagome thought and then her brain completely stopped functioning at the first swipe of his tongue against her. His large hands slid up her body to massage her breasts and rub against her swollen nipples. Too much, too soon! Kagome let out a moan and her body tensed as intense erotic sensations zapped through her everywhere at once. He wouldn't let up. He wouldn't stop his intimate invasion no matter how much she begged him to. He seemed to enjoy hearing her pleas as he sought out the nectar he wanted to taste so badly. Her body finally gave him what he wanted as Kagome came hard. He held her down as she twitched and convulsed against him with one hand in the middle of her chest. The other he used to raised her thigh for more access. Kagome could actually hear him growling softly as he lapped at her juices. Like a freaking cat drinking milk, she thought suddenly wanting to slap him hard upside the head for forcing her body to do what he wanted. There was something so wrong about this, and yet so damn erotic and mind blowing sensual that she couldn't get angry at him. It just felt too good.

She thought he was finished with her, she was exhausted from the intense shattering orgasm he'd forced up on her, but he wasn't. Her eyes widened once again as he moved up her body. Pure unadulterated lust glowed in its red eyes. Kagome blushed as his licked his lips, seemingly pleased from the taste of her.

"Mine," it said again this time softly.

"Okay," she whispered, "I get it!"

He suddenly frowned.

Kagome swallowed. Obviously, this creature didn't like her to talk back to him. Inuyasha, where are you in there? She thought. Suddenly, something very large and hard entered her in one movement. She yelled out of surprise than pain. It hadn't hurt, but her body had been completely unprepared for the huge dick buried so deeply inside of her. What was worse was that she felt herself cumming again. She stared up at him in shock. The demon held himself completely still with an arrogant look on his face as she gasped and convulsed under his body. This thing was dominating her, showing her who had the upper hand in this relationship. It was almost as if he was punishing her for a being a very bad girl last night.

He waited until she'd calmed down again and said the words again. "Mine…"

"Yours," she whispered back weakly.

He let out a satisfied growl. "Obey me…always."

Kagome raised an eyebrow. Okay maybe there was still a little stubbornness left in her.

It let out a loud growl and raised her hands above her head, locking her in place with his. Oh no, not again, Kagome thought as he began to move inside of her, thrusting, deep and hard.

"You are mine; obey me always, never run away from me again!" It snapped in that rough scary voice.

Kagome groaned and turned away from its angry eyes.

Kagome! Inuyasha's voice suddenly appeared in her head. "Are you crazy this thing is crazier than me! It's dangerous, Kagome, stop provoking it and do what it wants."

"What does it want?" Kagome asked.

"He needs you to submit to him. Last night, what you did angered it. If you don't submit, he will force you too!"

"Why can't you take back control, Inuyasha. It's big and scary and I don't like it!"

"It's part of me, Kagome and it's too angry. I can't control it when it takes over like this. The only way to calm the demon is for you to submit to it and make it believe you won't do something as stupid as you did last night, otherwise, it won't go away."

This really was her punishment, Kagome thought. Oh god, I'm cumming! She yelled in her head. Inuyasha's presence disappeared in the midst of her orgasm. This time the demon didn't stop or wait for her body to calm down. Instead his thrust became demanding, aggressive. Kagome stared up at him in helpless fear as he reared back his head and opened his mouth exposing those very sharp fangs. Before she could stop him, he sunk those fangs deep into the side of her neck.

Kagome exploded with pain and pleasure. Her body shook uncontrollably as multiple orgasms took over. The demon was claiming her, marking her forcing her submission as Inuyasha had warned. She couldn't take it anymore. If it didn't stop, Kagome didn't know whether she would die of pleasure or pain since it seemed to be wrapped together. Somehow through it all she found the strength to speak.

"I'm yours, I will always be yours, my body, my soul will always belong to you. I will never ever run away from you again, I swear. I won't put myself in danger by disobeying you ever again! Please, please!" She whispered between gasps.

The demon began to thrust into her hard and fast as if losing control. It suddenly pulled out it fangs and let out a deafening roar as it exploded inside of her. Kagome could feel him pulsating violently as his hot sperm hit her insides causing her to jump from the pressure. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she too experienced another earth shattering orgasm, this time passing out from the intensity.

Five minutes later Kagome opened her eyes to feel of a hot wet tongue licking at the wounds on her neck. She could already feel them slowly beginning to close up. The sound of purring in her ear caused her to turn around to see if the demon was still there. It was. It's red eyes stared at her.

"Mine…" it said once again.

"Yours…my goodness you are definitely an Alpha male," Kagome whispered and ran her fingers through his hair. She got it now. She really did after the ordeal he'd put her though. She must have frightened it as badly as Inuyasha when it thought it was about to lose her last night.

He continued to stare at her as she watched the redness slowly leave his eyes. Kagome sighed in relief when Inuyasha's golden eyes stared back into hers. "Are you back?" She asked him.

"Yes," Inuyasha said and smiled.

Kagome backhanded him so hard; he flew off the bed and landed on the floor with a loud thud. "Jerk," she whispered.

His head popped up over the side of the bed with a huge hand print on his face. "What the hell did you do that for?" He yelled.

She turned her back to him and went back to sleep. Inuyasha sighed and covered her up. He went to the bathroom mirror and stared at his reflection. The reflection of the demon stared back at him.

"You claimed her as yours along with me the first night we mated," Inuyasha said.

"She is mine," it said.

"I know that! But next time, give me a little warning before you decide to come out. I hadn't told Kagome about you, you scared her half to death."

"Why did you keep me a secret from her? Are you ashamed of yourself? Were you afraid, she would not want you if she knew about me?"

When Inuyasha didn't answer, the demon smiled sadistically. "I see, not my problem…" It disappeared leaving Inuyasha to stare at his own reflection.

Unlike Inuyasha, the demon didn't have the ability to relate to human feelings. It didn't care if Kagome was frightened of it, the only thing it cared about was that she was his life mate and he would do anything to protect her regardless of how it would affect her.

He wiped his hands over his face. He would have to do a lot of explaining later. The demon had made it impossible for him to scold Kagome now. Perhaps, it hadn't trusted him to get through to her. All though she had calmed down a lot since he'd first met her, she was still very independent and stubborn. Because he could relate to human emotions, the demon thought he was too soft on Kagome, but he did not need it to interfere on his behalf in protecting her.

"She is mine," he heard it whisper in his head, letting him know he had every right to interfere in protecting her.

"Is that all you can say? You're beginning to sound like a broken record!" He yelled.

Of course, his demon wasn't very good with words or communicating since it was more animal than anything else, still it did have a way of making its point. He just hoped it went back into limbo for now and was content to just watch him and Kagome like it had done on the first day and he and Kagome had met.
