Before Kagome could even think of retrieving her bow, the Beast was upon her.
Air slammed from her lungs as her back smashed against a tree trunk, noxious jaws clamping down on her collar in a vicious, bone-grinding gnash. Kagome screamed out in blinding pain, her skin and haori shredding as she forced him off of her with an unbridled blast of reiki. The Beast snarled savagely, the corded muscle of his back and shoulders flexing—but by the time he lunged for her a split-second later, the radiant arc of her barrier met him with a purifying crash. He howled in rage as the holy shield deflected him, Kagome flinching at the abominable sound.
As her ears continued to ring, she pressed a palm to her mauled shoulder, using a little of her power to stanch the flow of blood and purify her wound. Broad as it was, the pattern of rends in her flesh was surprisingly shallow, as if he had only meant to scare her with the bite—or simply, to test her. It was a theory that took firmer root in her mind as she watched him prowl just beyond the glowing arc of her shield, a feral smirk twisting his heavily fanged mouth.
“Good, good,” he rumbled in dark approval, the sound seeming to bombard her from all sides. “…You may survive me, yet.”
Panting, Kagome straightened with difficulty, her eyes locked upon him in a venomous glare. “You…who are you?” Her hand slashed down from her shoulder, scarlet droplets flinging from her fingertips. “You aren’t Sesshoumaru.”
“I am he.”
“No,” Kagome snapped back. “Sesshoumaru wouldn’t hurt me—Sesshoumaru wouldn’t hurt those girls. You’ve possessed him, haven’t you? You’re the one twisting him into a monster, making him do these horrible things!” Her voice rose in mad desperation, her barrier rippling in uneven waves of light. “If I cast you out, he’ll be free.”
“Free?” the Beast sneered, the ground trembling beneath her feet as he melded fully with the brooding, livid dark. “Foolish woman. How blind you choose to be…”
Kagome gasped as she was driven back, barrier and all. Above her a torrent of vermilion-hued darkness blazed up, igniting the sky, the clearing, the whole forest itself in a deluge of seething demonic flame. The miko coughed at the air’s defilement, her streaming eyes lifting skyward as Sesshoumaru’s massive canine form emerged through the hellish haze. She tumbled to the ground as he landed with quaking force, his mighty forepaws settling around the edges of her shield. Saber-length claws tore through the rocky earth, gouts of youki-laced poison boiling against her barrier as they fell from his slavering mouth. A huge forked tongue thrust forth obscenely as his cavernous jaws split open above her in a resounding, bloodcurdling roar.

This is absolutely amazing! You don’t really read too many stories about Sesshoumaru in his true form unless he’s being used by Kagome as a mount. So this is very refreshing! I love it!
Thank you, thank you!! Yeah I think Sess’s true form is so badass haha – glad you’re enjoying this development!!
❤️
Huhu, did he just try to mark her? 😉
Thank you for the awesome update!! Made my day.
Lol could be 😉 so glad you enjoyed the update, Ri!!
❤️
Wow!!! I can’t wait for more. I’m almost scared for Kagome but she must survive this night considering the beginning of the story. 😱 😟
Thanks Molly!!! So glad you’re enjoying the suspense! ❤️❤️
Very nice. Such excellent writing. I check every day!
Aw thank you so much Emily! ❤️❤️
Wow your fics always show a different side than what sessho kago fans are used to & that too which is convincing (never expected but still Convincing) I don’t know how to explain they still feel like the sessho & kags that I’m use to, their characteristics personalities are still there but still different than the anime. In short You are a great, awesome phenomenal author 💞😍
Aw thank you! That is so wonderful to hear that you enjoy my characterizations of Kagome and Sess! To show ‘different’ aspects of their personalities, or even how their personalities would gradually change under certain circumstances, while keeping them true to themselves is pretty much my goal in a nutshell 😊
Thank you so much for the feedback and hope you continue to enjoy the story! ❤️
Yesss! I have to agree with others. Nobody touches on his true form. This is why i love your stories. You touch on uncomfortable, questionable, and untouched topics. Always a joy!
Thank you so much, Eryn! That is so encouraging to hear 😊
I’m always trying to experiment with each new story and to push the boundaries in (hopefully!) fresh and intriguing ways 😊
Thanks so much and hope you enjoy the next chapter!! ❤️
Bad lewd doggie! (Whaps massive Sesshoumaru on the nose with giant newspaper) Leave the sanctimonious lady who has the hots for your humanoid form alone! Well he can’t rut her in doggy form anyway.
Seriously, I can’t wait for the next chapter.
My theory is that Mr. Killing Perfection has tried to repress his attraction to his sister-in-law for so long that his primal side has had enough. Doggy Sesshoumaru is horny and he wants his bitch now!
He tried to sate his sexual hunger on human women who were merely stand-ins for Kagome. But they were powerless humans so he literally tore them apart from the inside.
I see no happy ending for this pair since he is a serial rapist and murderer while she is a wanna-be tyrant in denial of her own sexual attraction to him.
Maybe they will boink each other to death. At least it will be a spectacular way to go. … Just a suggestion. 😉
Hahaha! Doug, you’re nuts and I love it!! 😂
Seriously though, absolutely LOVE hearing your theory and suggestion! Death by sex doesn’t seem like the worst way to go LOL
So happy you’re enjoying this story!! Working on getting the next part out soon 😉
❤️❤️
I really want to comment on every chappie but the comment section is closed hahaha ANYWAY, gosh, I so love this fic! Is the Beast stronger than Sesshomaru? I know it’s a more animal version of him, but he totally lost control of himself and the Beast took over. It wonder if this fic has a happy ending because try as I may to find it in me to root for their happy ending, I can’t just ignore the girls he raped and murdered. Looking forward on how this story progresses!
Aww thank you so much for the comments, Rain – I’ve so appreciated and enjoyed reading them! 🙂 So very happy to hear that you’re loving the story!
Yeah, the nature of the story doesn’t seem to lend itself to an HEA lol, but we shall see! Hope you enjoy how it all turns out 🙂
<3 <3
I got bone deep chills when he was pacing, saying “Good good” like he’d been testing her. Serious chills, and this is the second time I’m reading it! Your darkfics blow my mind woman! Lol
Woohoo! So glad you liked that part 😉
And thank you so much!! <3
