Kagome felt like she had been run over by Sesshoumaru in his demon form when she finally returned to consciousness. Her hand automatically went up to her shoulder before she even opened her eyes. "What happened?" she moaned out in discomfort as she opened her eyes and tried to sit up.

She looked around and noticed that she was in a bedroom that was definitely not hers. She closed her eyes to try and push back the headache she felt was coming on but that was wasted because as soon as she opened her eyes, her room was full of the brothers. Laito was even sitting on the edge of the bed, while Ayato was setting on the other side of the bed near the headboard.

'How in the hell did they get in here so quickly and without me detecting them?' she thought as she stared at them in shock and slight fear. After all, they were exceptionally fast and had escaped detection.

'Might as well, just start questioning. I really don't feel like wasting any time here,' she thought, slightly annoyed. "Where am I and how long was I out?" she asked out loud for any of them to answer her.

"I brought you home, Cho. I told you I would. You were only out for about an hour," Laito said while leaning towards her as if he was going to touch her leg. It was also impressive that she had recovered so quickly.

When she noticed his movements, she yanked her leg away from him and glared at him, almost seeming to surprise him. The look of surprise was quickly changed though as she saw a different glint appeared in his eye. 'That little shit is amused,' she thought. A quick glance showed some of the others were amused as well.

"Well, I'm up and fine now. So take me home," she said while trying to move over to the edge of the bed so she could stand up.

"Yours Truly has not given you permission to leave yet," Ayato stated before grabbing her arm and pulling her back to lay sprawled across his lap.

Kagome looked up at Ayato in shock. Their reaction time was so fast that she couldn't even keep up. Once that reaction wore off, she glared up at him, "Who said I needed your permission to leave?" She then tried to sit up again before finding a hand wrapped around her throat. She was then hauled up to sit on Ayato's lap and to where she was facing him. Her hands came up to catch herself and ended up resting on his chest.

Ayato glared at the woman in his lap and his grip around her neck tightened, yet she didn't back down. She didn't even flinch as he leaned towards her, trailing his nose along her shoulder.

"Stop," Kagome said as she glared ahead at the backboard of the bed. Her hands tightened into Ayato's shirt. She really hadn't wanted to expose her powers so much, but he wasn't taking a bite after what he just said. He was not the boss of her and she needed to make that clear.

Ayato chuckled into her shoulder. He was slightly amused that she thought she could argue with him but he was also pissed. No one, especially a human, could talk back to him. He pulled back and glared at her, baring his fangs at her, "And what do you think you could do against Yours Truly?" He then moved as if he was going back to her shoulder to take a bite.

Kagome reacted on instinct. Power flared in her hands, just like the time with that centipede woman. The force of the blast was enough to throw her backwards through the air. She felt a hand graze her, as if grabbing for her but it just missed her.

She felt herself hit the floor and she rolled until she hit the wall. On instinct alone, a barrier came up just in time as Subaru struck. She winced as he kept attacking her barrier. He was strong and it was taking a lot of her energy to withstand the hits. She also knew that if he kept on then he would break her barrier.

Kagome looked around through her barrier to see where everyone was and to see if she could see how bad Ayato had been injured. Sadly, the only damage she could make out on Ayato were burns that seemed to be rapidly healing as he made his way to where she was protected by her barrier.

"That is enough," Reiji stated quietly but threateningly. "This talk cannot resume unless everyone calms down."

Kagome was amazed when all the brothers listened to him and backed off and moved further off into the room, further away from her. Only Reiji came towards her and she met his eyes through the barrier.

"That was a distasteful show of manners, Kagome. You will drop whatever this barrier is and resume your place on the bed so that we may continue this discussion," Reiji stated it firmly as if he fully expected to be listened to.

"Will they keep their fangs off of me during this discussion?" she asked.

"They will as long as you behave, Kagome," Reiji said before extending a hand towards her. He clearly expected her to drop her barrier and to do as he said.

Kagome stared into Reiji's eyes for only a moment before deciding to trust him, or at the very least listening to him. After all, holding up that barrier did take a lot out of her and Subaru had come close to cracking it. Once the barrier dropped, she hesitantly took Reiji's offered hand.

She wasn't all that surprised when he picked her up and took her to the bed and sit her on it. The look he gave her clearly said for her to not move from that spot or there would be lots of pain. Her lip drew back in a silent snarl but she leaned back against the headboard and made herself comfortable. She wanted to know why she was taken and what they wanted from her. Maybe if she was cooperative then she could leave sooner.

"What else can there be to discuss? I feel fine right now and I want to go home," she said stating her opinion on the situation clearly. She wanted them to talk so she could go home and sleep.

Ayato reached over and wrapped his finger around a piece of Kagome's hair, twirling it around his finger and tugging it to get Kagome's attention. "We need to discuss your stay with us of course. I do hope you find this room to your liking," he stated it so casually as if the decision had already been made.

"After all, it's where you're going to be staying at from now on," Kanato stated as he appeared leaning against the bed where he leaned down to stare at Kagome.

"I already have a home and it is not here," Kagome said and managed to keep her voice from wavering.

"You will be staying here and that decision is final. If you continue to argue over a matter that has already been settled then you will be punished," Reiji stated as he moved closer to the bed so he could peer down at their newest bride.

"Come now, my little Cho, you will enjoy living with us and we can even play together some more. I'll admit your blood is the best I have ever had," Laito said while grinning and even made a show of licking his fangs, his face flushed red with all the thoughts on what he wanted to do to Kagome once he got her in his room.

Kagome felt a blush spread all the way down her neck. She was also trying to push down her arousal at the memories he brought up. He was definitely a good dominant in the bedroom but it was going to take more than that for her to stay. They weren't even asking and suddenly she found her arousal turning to anger as she glared at all of them.

Kagome's eyes snapped right up to glare directly at Reiji. She knew it would be considered a challenge but she had a point to make and she was going to make it. She just knew that if she could make her point to him, then the others would have to listen.

"You can't honestly expect my compliance. You don't just kidnap someone and then expect them to just listen to you. You have no authority over me and I refuse to be held against my will, so I suggest you let me leave now!" Kagome stated. By the end of her speech, she was standing on her knees on the edge of the bed so she could look Reiji in the eye.

"How dare you speak to us this way," Ayato growled out as he moved up to where Kagome was and wrapped his hand around her throat, forcing her to turn slightly to face him.

"How dare you!" Kagome bit out, and in a surprising move wrapped her own hand around Ayato's throat.

The others wanted to intervene but Reiji quickly ended that idea by motioning all the others back.

"Kagome," Reiji almost purred out darkly, causing the female to shiver and shift her eyes to him as he got closer.

"You don't seem to understand the rules, so I will explain them to you just once. You are now ours. Any attempt to escape will be met with punishment. You will listen and obey all of my orders or you will face punishment. You will not attack any of us or you will face punishment. You will not leave this house without permission or you will face punishment. You are now ours and that will not change. Do you understand?" Reiji asked as he finished his speech.

Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing. He was trying to take total control over her. 'These bastards think they can do whatever they want. I'll show them that I'm not just a toy that will be played with,' she thought as Reiji continued his speech. By the end of it, she was so pissed that she was glowing as her powers were just below her skin, waiting to erupt and consume those around her.

Uncaring about Ayato's threat, she wrenched her hands from his neck and turned and lunged at Reiji, forcing Ayato to let her go by adding her power to her neck and burning his hands.

She never made it to Reiji though as someone least expected intervened.

"So troublesome you are. You're keeping me from sleeping," Shu said as he held Kagome up by her neck with her feet dangling in the air.
