Heat

Chapter 1

Heat

I had to get away! The burning heat within my belly consumed me into a sea of lust and need. But there is no safety in the thick foliage of the forest, there is nowhere for me to run, there's no escape. The burning stopped me from taking another step; I tiredly looked at a soft patch of moss underneath a blooming Sakura tree and sat beneath its pink haven.

I am at a loss as to what to do about these burning emotions bottling up inside of me. They are exasperatingly confusing. I have no control over my body where males are concerned.

I know what is happening to me, I am going into heat, and my body is looking for release. One of the major dangers of going into heat is that it can be powerful enough to kill me. Each and every time I skip out on mating, my heat cycles become stronger than the last and the urge to mate intensifies by ten fold. With its intensity I find that it is becoming harder to resist the calling that my ancestors submitted to through out the centuries.

The other major reason in which caused the first, is that I don't want mate with a male to whom I don't know. I want to surrender myself to a male who deserves my attentions, one who will be mine forever.

It is hard to find my ideal mate, Its not that I am picky, its just who and what I am that makes it hard for the male populace to accept me. The only reason a male would ever look my way is if I entered heat and that is only due to the pheromones I give off making me irresistible to them.

For that, I hate what I am, a hybrid, a thing; I am a mutt if you will. I am at least a mix of three different species; the most dominant is my Saiyan heritage. My father passed onto me his royal lineage. You would think that I wouldn't be in this situation for he is the king of his people... our people.

He has found another mate, and has forgotten me. He has new children, why would be want a daughter that killed his first mate, my mother. I swear it was not my fault, how can I be at fault, I was just being born, she was not strong enough to deliver me.

I-I. It is my fault.

I wiped the offensive tears off of my cheeks.

My youkai blood is the second dominate trait, I think my mother was some sort of canine, I am not quit sure since my father refuses to talk to me about her. All I know is that she wasn't a full youkai and had some human blood in her. The human genes that I have are recessive, for my other genetic traits are too dominant. The only trait my mother left me is the gift of my human soul.

I scratched at the annoying bracelet on my wrist. Oh, how I would kill to get this ki depressor off of me, I can't defend myself properly with it on. My father put it on me as a child to control me, he said I was too dangerous and too wild to go around without it on. He feared for the safety of his new mate and their offspring.

I had no ill intentions towards the new queen, she was always nice to me and never humiliated me in front of others as my father did, nor did she lay a rough hand on me. For the first few years of my life I truly thought that she was my birth mother.

Imagine me as a four-year-old girl, excited that my 'mother' was giving birth to my younger brother and my father turning on me and said he had no further use for me and that I was replaceable.

Back than I did not understand what was going on. I did not fully grasp the concept that I was being replaced as the heir to the throne by my younger brother, Trunks. How could I have known, all that I knew was that my parents forced me into the shadows, to be hidden away from everyone, to be shunned.

For the longest time, I would have loved to be treated like my 'half siblings' and to have the love of our father. To be as powerful as they can be with nothing holding them back.

Okay Kagome calm down, Its okay, I can pull through this, I am strong enough. No need to PANIC. The pain is only a cramp, like a young woman goes through when she hits her monthly duty. See no harm done.

Kuso! Everything is not okay.

This heat thing is making me go crazy!

I can feel myself changing; I can no longer fight my carnal desires.

I smell something in the air that is quite enticing. I maybe the daughter of Vegeta the great and powerful Saiyan king, but a female can only withhold this kind of burning for so long. Hopefully he is as alluring as he smells.

I might give in this time, I only hope that Inu Yasha and the others understand. When this night ends I will no longer be Kagome Higurashi, the human disguise my father gave me when he given me to the people I now consider family. From this day on I will become who I was always meant to be. I will finally be set free, my true self, my blood.

Japanese Translation

kuso: shit, bullshit

In case some might not know what a pheromone is.

Pheromone: A chemical secreted by an animal that influences the behaviour or development of other members of the same species. In many animal species, pheromones are used to establish territory and attract mates.
