Prompt From The Alphabet Challenge

I: Ignescent: capable of emitting sparks; of a volatile mood

“Inuyasha, what...”

With a sudden movement, Inuyasha was on her, tearing at her clothes. She tried to cover herself and that angered him more. Why would she hide herself from him, when she showed everything to Sesshomaru? Did she think to only give herself to his brother now?

Doesn’t she remember whose mate she was meant to be?

Inuyasha’s obvious fury angered Kagome...and frightened her. She sensed violence in him, the likes of which she had not seen since she first freed him from the Goshinboku. And then his voice:

“Kagome.”

The fear would not go away.

“Having fun, Kagome? Enjoying yourself?”

She swallowed, took a deep breath.

“Or did my brother leave too soon for your taste?”

His tone became sharp, demanding.

“Why did you come out here, Kagome? What’s wrong with you?”

“What – what did you want me to do?”

Her words came through tears, but she didn’t notice she was crying.

“Should I spend the rest of my life cowering in fear and denial and pain, Inuyasha? Is that what you want? For me to deny him completely, and destroy myself?”

His ears flattened as she screamed at him, but he did not step away. He caught her wrists in one hand, and held her arms extended. He looked down at her, brought his face close to hers, peered at her, almost smiling, and brought up one hand to touch her cheek.

“Yes.”

He caressed her; she was stunned. And then he drew back his hand and slapped her, hard. The half-smile vanished from his face, and he howled.

“Yes! Anything, as long as you did not choose him – you’re mine – mine, Kagome!”

He let go of her wrists and thrust her backward, so she stumbled and fell back on her knees. His claws cut through her shirt easily, shredded her bra and scratched her skin.

Kagome had only one, panicked thought.

No – no! Not Inuyasha – not like this -

“Not like this – not like this!”

A pink wave of power forced his hands away from her and tossed him back. In one smooth movement he stood, drew Tetsusaiga, and leveled the great fang at her body. A snarl twisted his features. His eyes were dark; empty.

“You promised you were mine. You promised to stand by me. You promised – promised – promised­!”

A/N: 400 words! And Inuyasha is...well, he’s kind of going nuts now. From being a jealous prat mostly. But onwards! (The problem with Alpha is, once I start writing prompts, I can’t stop. So odd. Oh well!) Kagome's Almighty Bitch Slap Of Power is thanks to r0o!  :P
