Hi all. Again, I am sorry about the delay. As I said in the last chapter, I already had this chapter written when I posted the last chapter, but circumstances being what they were, my computer decided to crash on me before I had the chance to save my story to the backup I keep current. With the computer crash, I had to officially start all over again, not only with this chapter, but with two others I had been working on. Again, I am really sorry it took so long for this to come out, but this time it wasn�t my fault�lol�at least not totally my fault. I ended up having to send it off to the manufacturer for a week to get my third replacement hard drive for this damned lemon. The good news is that Best Buy has a no lemon policy and since I bought it from them, if my new hard drive crashes again, then I finally get a NEW computer!!!
Yay�now that I have explained my tardiness, thanks for joining me in this next installment of Soul Consumption and as always, the usual disclaimers apply. I do NOT own Inuyasha and its characters or any subsidiaries within. I write for my pleasure and yours and I do hope you enjoy reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it�.TWICE�.Please don�t forget to review�.I look at a lot of other stories that were posted around the same time that this one was and they all have like 50-100 reviews and I have to wonder if I am doing something wrong? If I am, please let me know what it is, so that I can fix it because reviews are what keep me going�they give me the inspiration to keep posting down these stories. Thank you for reading and on with the show�..
A side note for this chapter��this chapter will bounce back from the last chapter to what is happening in this one. There will be things added in this chapter that are continuations from the last chapter that were not mentioned in chapter 3 simply because I have something special in mind for our fabulous characters. Please bear with me and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to review..

Soul Consumption

Chapter 4

Opposites Attract
Inuyasha�s P.O.V.
It has been three days since Sesshomaru and Kagome first landed in the campsite and the only thing I could think about when she first walked slowly into camp was the way she smelled like Sesshomaru. It wasn�t the smell of being protected from danger or accidentally brushing against one another, not that that would happen in any situation anyway, but the only thing I kept thinking was �what the fuck did he do to you?�
And since I am not one to think things through before blurting out anything that comes to mind, I made sure to yell at the top of my lungs, �WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER YOU BASTARD?!? Immediately afterward, I grabbed her by the arm and forcefully pulled her toward my body so that I could get a better whiff of her new scent, but before I could get close enough, Sesshomaru appeared directly in front of me and pulled Kagome from my grasp so quickly, that my reflexes couldn�t react fast enough.
Of course, in that next moment, he was growling so deeply in warning, I thought for a moment that he was going to lunge at me and try to tear out my heart, but then I remembered that this was Sesshomaru, the ice bastard of the West, and I gave him my confident smirk in return. He might want to keep me away from Kagome at the moment, but she is my bitch and I will not allow it! Reaching for her again, I am shocked to see her step back into Sesshomaru�s embrace and then my jaw drops almost to the ground when I see his arms go around her in a tight embrace.
�What the fuck is going on Kagome?� I see her cringe at the hurt and betrayal I let come into my voice and I feel my beast begin to stir. I feel him starting to pull against the chains I have him bound in, even with Tetssaiga at my side. Trying my best to calm him into relaxing enough to at least be able to hear her explanation, I look into her eyes and hope to all the Kami I have ever heard of that my nose is wrong and that they are not mated. I see her step away from my bastard half brother and I step back, away from her. I do not want to hurt her, but I don�t know what I will do if she touches me.
�Inuyasha, I came back to camp because I needed to grab my yellow pack and because I needed to tell you that I am Sesshomaru�s mate. I swear I never meant to hurt you and I know that you are going to think I betrayed you, but you have to think of the situation we were in, through my eyes. Did you ever think of how I felt every time you snuck off to see Kikyo? Did you, even once, care about how you broke my heart every time you embraced her? How did you think I was going to react? Did you even think of my feelings at all? Did I even cross your mind? Did you think I would just stand by forever and wait for you, with my heart in my hand? After six years, you have yet to choose between your dead priestess and me. I made the decision for myself when I couldn�t take the pain anymore. For as long as I can remember, I have been in love with you and after all these years, you still denied me the only thing I ever wanted. Simply, to be loved and cherished and you were never going to give me that, so I took the opportunity presented to me and ended up finding my soul mate. I am sorry that I had to tell you like this, but there was no other way. I hope you find happiness one day. You really deserve it even if it isn�t with me, I will be content to see you find a family of your own one day, just as I have found mine. Until then, I will always be here for you and remember that I love you now and forever.�
I listen to her speaking and I can�t help the wave of sorrow that washes over me. I never realized I was hurting her and to make it worse, I was the one that drove her into the arms of another man, when all I had ever wanted to do is keep her safe and away from any man that would hurt her in the end. But she is right, I didn�t treat her the way I should have and I lost her because of it. I acted like she was mine anytime a man or demon came after her, trying to claim her for themselves, but when it came down to it, I never let her know how much she meant to me and it cost me everything. Coming out of my inner thoughts, I see Sesshomaru appear beside her and crush their lips together in a passionate embrace without warning and I see for myself just how right they are together. Light and dark, good and evil, the perfect polar opposites and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.

*Flashback of events with a twist*
Suddenly, a searing pain nearly brings me to my knees as it shoots the length of my body. I howl in pain before I lose consciousness and then I know no more.
Feeling the anger and pain wash over me, I take over so quickly he has no time to react and try to cage me. She is MINE! There is no other for her but me�.she cannot leave me, I will not allow it! Running forward as they are finishing the kiss, Sesshomaru blocks and I pull back swiftly, attacking again, before swinging in a wide ark, designed to take off his head. Tetssaiga and Tokijin clash and sparks fly as the two demonic swords battle for dominance and Sesshomaru roars in fury at the possibility of his mate being hurt because the attack came deathly close to making contact with her. He pulls Kagome flush against his body and moves faster than the blink of an eye over the far side of the clearing to ensure her safety and then is charging again with Tokijin held high above his head and a venomous look in his eyes. He is beyond pissed that I endangered his bitch, but I would never hurt her. She is MY bitch! Swords clashing again and again, he turns to the left and fakes right, catching me off guard just enough to slice me across the left shoulder and then to add insult to injury, he rakes his claws against the seeping wound and slips in some poison to make it fester. Suddenly, Kagome screams �SIT BOY!� and I am thrown to the earth in a mighty pile of limbs and dirt. Once she calms down enough to take deep breaths, the spell is released and I am once again allowed to stand. I lift myself from the ground and lose my breath at the immense pain that shoots through my body. The wound in my shoulder is bleeding profusely and the poison in my blood would have already brought a weaker creature to his death, but I refuse to fall to Sesshomaru. I will not give him the satisfaction of seeing me die, besides, he didn�t put enough poison into the wound to be fatal, and he merely used it to make the pain much more intense.
Howling in pain once again, I feel myself get weaker as Inuyasha begins to assert his control. Before he can completely overpower me, I rush toward her to show her whose bitch she is when I am thrown back from the power of Tokijin and Sesshomaru. I lose my last thread of control over Inuyasha on impact with the ground and feel the chains reassert themselves once again. I whine piteously in protest, desperate to once again be free so that I might be able to experience some of the things my other half cherishes so much and feel him nod in acceptance of my request, on the condition that I not take complete control and become a mindless blood lusting monster.
He has accepted me completely and now we can finally bond so that we are one being. We will have all of my strengths and his, without all of the weaknesses we shared. We begin to merge and immediately feel the changes within ourselves. We feel our body reach new heights, growing another six inches and the strips on our cheeks become pronounced. We are not a full demon, but we are very close. The beast and the human have become inseparable. There will no longer be human nights and our body will grow stronger the longer we go without them. We should now be a formidable foe against our enemies, but most of all, we should have little problem killing Naraku with the help of our pack.
Standing after the transformation is complete; I look toward Sesshomaru and Kagome and see that they both have baffled looks of disbelief on their faces. I see an emotion pass through Sesshomaru�s eyes so quickly, that I half believe it was merely my mind playing tricks on me and then I am left speechless when he walks toward me with this completely sorrowful and regretting look on his face, before he embraces me like the brother he had not acknowledged until this very moment. I start to fight against this horrible trick to destroy all the sanity I have left until he starts growling low in his throat in the ancient Inu tongue of our ancestors. I almost immediately still in his embrace and whimpering in fear and despair, I bare my neck to him, acknowledging him as the alpha male of our pack.
Suddenly, he growls fiercely in my ears and I lift my head to look at him, shocked and wide eyed, wondering what he wants with me. Again, he growls toward me in the Inu language and explains that I need to give up Kikyo because she is not of this world and there is no place for her at my side. He also informs me that I am to become a Lord as well. I will be his equal in everyway and as the station requires, I must be trained. With no judgment and hatred to block the path of understanding, I realize that although I will always love Kikyo, she is no longer of this world and I need to move on. Perhaps one day I will meet someone that is worthy of the Taisho Legacy and therefore take a mate, but until then, he tells me that I should be happy in the knowledge that I will rule the Western Lands beside him, Sesshomaru, and that we must leave post haste to begin training at once. He informs me that we will train from dawn until dusk for one month straight and after that time, we will once again continue the search for the Shikon no Tama. It is still high on the list of priorities, but it will have to wait for now.
Sesshomaru finishes speaking to me in our native tongue and I realize then that he is waiting for an acknowledgment from me. Again, I bare my neck in submission and he is content with the action. Stepping away from him, I turn toward Kagome and head in her direction. Hearing Sesshomaru�s growl of warning, I nod in his direction; I understand that her safety is his first priority and I have no intention of hurting her in any way. Stopping in front of her, she moves her head to the side so that I may see her mark and smell her scent. Taking a deep breath, I smell that she is undeniably his and that she is absolutely happy and I nod in acceptance. She hugs me deliriously and laughs happily when she feels I have accepted her as the alpha female of the pack and I am not mad at her for what has happened. I hug her back fiercely and then step behind her, waiting for Sesshomaru to give orders as to what we should do.
A few minutes later when he has finished telling us what needs to be done before we can break camp and head toward the Western Lands so that we can begin our training immediately, Kagome starts packing her belongings and I put out the fire and throw the left over rabbit from dinner the night before back into the forest so another forest creature may snack on it. Once everything is done, I go and stand by Sesshomaru, while Kagome looks around the camp one last time. Seeing Shippo hiding behind a tree and feeling his distress and fear, she immediately goes to comfort him. Realizing that she must ask Sesshomaru first, she comes to a stop and turns toward him with pleading eyes and I chuckle silently to myself. She has used the �Doe Eyes� attack on me many a time and I am unable to deny her whatever she wants when she uses it. I have no idea why, but it is so undeniably difficult to say no when she looks so unbelievably adorable. There is no other way to describe her when she does that. She looks so innocent and fragile at that moment; I am always trapped, feet frozen in place when she turns to me with that expression on her face. I look toward Sesshomaru and see that he is actually smiling at her antics and I nearly swallow my tongue at this realization. He nods his head almost unnoticeably and Kagome squeals in delight before turning toward Shippo, holding out her arms. She laughs joyously when he jumps into her embrace and starts crying happy tears because he wasn�t being left behind. She smiles down at him and whispers into his ear, �I would never, ever leave you behind because you are my son and I love you with all my heart. Don�t ever forget that, little one.� He wipes his tears away and smiles brightly at her once more and she begins to walk toward her mate. She stops beside Sesshomaru and glances back at me to make sure that I am still here, apparently, and then she smiles at me and nods her head. I think she approves that I am coming with her. Well, she is crazy if she thinks I would let her go to the Western Lands without me, even for a second. I made a vow four years ago that I would protect her and I haven�t broken it yet. Patience does not run in my veins and after standing there for another couple minutes, I can�t help the words that come tumbling out of my mouth.
�Oi Fluffy, are we going or what?�
With a nod from Sesshomaru and a disgruntled sigh for the disrespect showing and the horrible nickname, we begin the long journey to the west and hope that we don�t run into any of Naraku�s spies. I would hate to spoil the surprise when he sees me for the first time and realizes that I am no mere half demon any longer, but a full demon with all the powers to go along with being such. I wonder what my new powers will be. Could it be that I was able to become a full demon because of the strength of my father�s blood? Maybe Sesshomaru will know, or at least have an acquaintance that would. Enough wondering for now, I won�t get any answers for the moment so I might as well enjoy the sights, scents, and beautiful lands we are passing through. Besides, if I spend all my time daydreaming, I might miss finding my perfect mate and there where would I be?

Kagome P.O.V.
Looking over my shoulder, I see that Inuyasha has changed, not just on the outside, but on the inside as well. I can feel his jaki surrounding him and it feels much like the jaki surrounding Sesshomaru. When we arrive at the palace of the Western Lands, I will have to sit down and have a long talk with him, so that I may learn the secret of his transformation. Glancing at my mate, I feel my arousal spike almost imperceptively. I wonder if he can smell it. One wicked look and playful wink on his part and I am left flushing embarrassingly, however; there is nothing I can do. He is the perfect male specimen and I cannot help my reaction to him. Of course, I can sense his emotions now and I know for a fact that I am not the only one affected by our close proximity and delicious remembrances of our love making.
I distinctly detect a hint of arousal from my mate beside me and I nearly moan at the scent. Knowing I am not the only one affected by our close proximity and our delicious memories of lovemaking, I smile in spite of myself. Of course, that is when I realize that if Sesshomaru and I can smell our arousal, then Inuyasha with his new found full demon abilities can as well. I blush profusely at this and immediately look behind Sesshomaru to see if Inuyasha has indeed been privy to our combined arousal. Seeing an absolutely mortified and uncomfortable look on his face, I feel my embarrassment nearly triple in strength and I bow my head in defeat. Apparently at this very moment, Sesshomaru decides to make Inuyasha suffer for all the idiocy he has had to endure all these long years and moves closer to my person and before I can react, he wraps his arms around me and thrusts his tongue into my mouth. Moaning at the feel of his body flush against mine, I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him as close as possible. Feeling my arousal begin to wet my panties, I hear him groan in pleasure at the scent. Of course, at that exact moment, I heard Inuyasha clear his throat embarrassed at the scene before him and my body immediately blushes a bright red. Backing away from Sesshomaru with a look of barely suppressed fury in my eyes, I see him grimace at the sight before him and I feel his hesitance to do or say anything, lest he make me even more furious at the moment.
Nostrils� flaring at the audacity my mate has at making Inuyasha feel so utterly uncomfortable, I snarl at him fiercely when he approaches me and he immediately backs off. Taking Inuyasha by the arm, I walk with him, side by side, ahead of Sesshomaru, completely ignoring him as we walk by. Seeing Inuyasha smirk cockily at him, I feel my mate�s utter fury at being ignored and I smirk right along with Inuyasha. In the back of my mind, I feel Sesshomaru prodding my mind, determined to know whether I would leave him for Inuyasha or not and I nearly scream obscenities. How dare he? He honestly thinks that I would leave him for his brother after all we have been through? Feeling my miko ki immediately responding to the threat in my mind and of my heart, I see his immediate flinch as he tries to leave my mind and my ki forcefully grabs him back. Holding his internal jaki within myself, I start to purify it, slowly eating away his power. In the back of my mind, I feel him screaming physically and I grimace at the damage I am causing him, but I refuse to let go. He will never touch me again after this! I swear it! I should never have mated with this stubborn, pigheaded demon and I will make damn sure he never again tries to come anywhere near me.
I am pulled out of my concentration when Inuyasha�s arms come around my physical body and I flinch in response. Shaking my head to clear it, I open my eyes and blink profusely, trying to get my vision to clear. Hearing Sesshomaru�s low growls of warning and promised retribution, I wince before I can catch myself and glance in his direction. I immediately feel his drop in jaki and demonic energy. Satisfaction enters me at the realization that I was the one to diminish his power and I grin maliciously in response. Gazing into his eyes with triumph all over my face, I am shocked to see him on his knees, holding his head in pain. He isn�t even looking in my direction and I can tell he is furious at my brutal act of retribution for his own. Knowing that he is sorry for what he was trying to do, doesn�t lessen the pain and betrayal I feel, even in the slightest. With one look to Inuyasha, he immediately releases his hold on me and I step out of his embrace. Making sure I am far enough away from both of them, so that they are not hurt in the process, I blast the mark on my neck with as much miko ki as I can muster and nearly fall to my knees from the pain. Hearing Sesshomaru�s sharp intake of breath, I look into his eyes as the last of his mark is erased from my blood, body and soul and I give him a deadly glare. I see him run to me in desperation, trying to make me reconsider my decision to deny his suit and I immediately back away from him. Erecting a barrier that even he cannot possibly hope to break, I glare daggers in his direction and begin turning toward the well and my home in the future, when he growls in my direction and my curiosity gets the better of me. I see the heartbreak on his face and look at him in disgust. �Whatever is the matter, Lord Sesshomaru?� Seeing his flinch at my use of his formal title, he locks his pleading eyes into mine, �What are you doing Kagome? Why have you removed my mark?�
Looking toward him with utter disbelief and surprise on my face, I give him a look that says he has just grown three heads and they are all different colors. When he sees my look of disbelief, he persists. �What is the matter? Why have you severed our bond before it could finalize? Do you realize what you have done?� Giving him a look of disdain; I glare menacingly at him once more before answering his ridiculous questions. �Of course I know what I have just done. Do you think me so weak that I cannot simply remove your mark when it no longer suits me? How could you search my mind to see if I am planning on being unfaithful, with your brother no less, and then sit there and ask me why I have removed your claim? How could you have so little trust in me? I told you once before that I would never betray you and yet the first male we come across, you automatically assume I will spread my legs for him. I cannot possibly be a mate of yours if you have so little faith in me. I relinquish my claim on you, Lord of the Western Lands, go and find someone else to be your Lady, for I refuse to stay with someone that has so little faith in my person.�
Seeing the look of sadness and pain that passes on his face, I almost regret my actions, but I cannot possibly be with someone that doesn�t trust me. I gave him my innocence and he just throws it away. How could he have such little faith in me? Didn�t he tell me that he loved me for being faithful and honest, loyal and brave? I can feel my heart breaking as I think these things because I truly love this man before me, but I refuse to be with him if he doesn�t trust me enough to be in the presence of another man, without trying to mount said man. I will not tolerate being held in such little light or regard for my feelings. Turning abruptly so that I can continue the search for the jewel shards by myself, I am embraced from behind and I feel my breath hitch in my throat. The hard body behind me is none other than Sesshomaru, I would know that body anywhere, and I cannot deny that I still feel massive amounts of attraction to him, but I refuse to be hurt again. I have been hurt far too much in my life and I will not knowingly put myself into a position to be hurt once again. I begin to struggle in his embrace and at once, I feel my miko ki starting to rise. Knowing that Sesshomaru will not let go of me because he is much too stubborn to back down, I desperately try to call off my ki so that he isn�t purified and to my utter horror, it will not back down. Feeling his skin begin to sizzle, I roughly pull out of his embrace and whirl around just in time to catch him, as he loses consciousness from the amount of jaki I have just destroyed. Moving slightly, I move him to the ground and look to Inuyasha. The look of utter shock and horror he has on his face will forever be ingrained in my memory, but for now, I must push my feelings aside and take care of Sesshomaru. There are deep gaping wounds all over his front that desperately need my attention. If I leave them to heal on their own, he could die. The amount of jyaki he just lost is massive and if I don�t treat these wounds immediately, if he doesn�t die, he will be severely scarred for the rest of his life. Yelling Inuyasha�s name to get his attention, he looks to me and I immediately tell him to gather my first aid kit and start a fire. Once that is done I ask him to put a pot on the fire and fill it with water so that it can boil. Laying Sesshomaru on my sleeping bag, I hear him moan lightly in pain and then he once again falls silent.
Minutes pass slowly as I start to remove his clothing so that I can clean his wounds and then suddenly, I feel an unfamiliar presence behind me. My powers have grown substantially in the six years I have been here and there is no possible way I should have been caught unaware and yet here I am, with absolutely no clue as to whom is breathing heavily at my back. Within moments, I feel an arm wrap around my waist and pull me flush against their body. A feeling of dejavu comes over me and I feel my powers again start to grow. I know this is a demon, but I have no way on knowing if this is a friend or foe. Because it has not said anything yet, I can only assume it is an enemy and I begin to purify it within moments. Hearing the sharp intake of breath from my assailant, I am dropped unceremoniously on my ass when a deep, weathered voice rings shrilly in my ears. �How dare you wench? Do you know who I am? I will slice you to pieces and you will be begging for death long before I am done with you.� Hearing a feral growl rise in the air, I hold my breath as I feel the presence behind me go crashing to the ground as Inuyasha tackles him. Thank the Kami that he just came back with that pot full of water from the stream. I don�t think I had enough power to knock out this demon because I used a lot of my energy on Sesshomaru. Turning to face my attacker and Inuyasha in the middle of their brawl, I am shocked to find someone I never thought I would see again after our last encounter.
Alright everyone, that is going to do it for this chapter. I know that it is shorter than my normal chapters, but my muse and I are battling for dominance at the moment and at this point in time, she has the upper hand. Do not worry though, come next installment, I will have won the battle. Take care until then and please review so I know how I am doing with this story.
