Chapter 4: Found and found out
~*~ One Month Later ~*~
Koga growled for the third time in the last half hour as he once again stumbled from a dizzy spell. Over the coming weeks of out running his mate ( Which he had been doing quite well at) his body had been tiring out from the over extensive use of energy. He cursed himself to the seven hells and back when he realized the demon lords words rang true. He was indeed carring that bastards pups, although he hated that fact he was excited to know there would be new additions to his clan. The only down side being they belonged to his hated rivals older brother. He was about to force himself to run again when he felt a weight wrap around his legs.
" Please Koga, take a break. You're tired and you might strain yourself too much in your condition." Hakaku whined as he looked to his mate for help in talking thier leader down.
" Hell no! If you think i'm letting that flea bitten pretty boy catch me ,you're stupider than you look." The raven haired wolf demon growled as he tried to kick the other off him.
" You really should slow down Koga. It's bad to put too much stress on the pups, you could really hurt them and yourself." Ginta chidded as he looked to his own growing stomach.
Feeling guilty, the Wolf Tribe Leader gently lowered himself to the ground to sit against a tree. Looking at the small bump on his stomach he felt moisture mist his eyes. He was hurting his own flesh and blood because he was too stubborn to face the man he allowed to claim him. Just as he was about to apologize his head snapped up at the sound of some one running through the bushes.
" It's over here you guys ;I sense the sacried jewel shards over here!" Came Kagome's excited shout.
Eyes widdening comically, he watched in horror as the ever white and green clad priestess fumbled in to the small forest clearing. Letting out a small groan, he watched the girl look at his small group surprisedly before lettinga smile light her face. Totally forgetting what comes along with the teen girl, a smile spread widely across the wolf's face making his teal eyes light up. Standing quickly, he went to clasp the girls hand and once again spout his love confession, when a pain like a million needles stabbed through his body making it giveout and him once again make contact with the ground all the while cursing Sesshomaru and his stupid mark.
" Koga! Are you okay, are you hurt?" Kagome asked as she knelt in front of the downed raven haired wolf.
" Hey Kagome, did you find where the jewel shar- oh it's just the mangy wolf." Inuyasha stated in disappointment as he entered the clearing as well. Smelling something off, the half-breeds nose began to twitch as he sniffed out the displaced smell. A smile spread on his face as he neared Ginta. "So you guys finally sealed the deal. How far along are you?" Inuyasha asked merrily, excitement sparkling in his golden eyes.
" About a month or so." The young wolf blushed a fang popping out as he smiled happily.
" On the first shot to, good job Hakaku." The Hanyou smirked as he congratulated/ teased the other demon.
" Uh...thanks?" The mohawked wolf gawked as he was praised by the usually grumpy half-demon.
" Inuyasha?" Kagome called still kneeling by the disoriented wolf leader.
" Yeah, what do you want?" Inuyasha called over his shoulder as he looked at Kagome.
" I think Koga's really sick or hurt." The school girl said in a worried tone.
" It's the wolf's own fault if he is." Inuyasha barked snarkly. " He's a weak wolf after all." The half demon stated as he came to stand in front of said wolf demon his nose once again twitching at a strange scent. Golden eyes narrowed as his brain registered the smell.
" What's with you Inuyasha, you're acting weird." Kagome remarked as she watched her crushes face light up in triumph.
" Ha! This means Kagome is all mine , you wolf bastard." Inuyasha yelled in glee as everyone looked shocked at his out burst.
" What are you talking about Inuyasha?" Kagome asked confused as her brown eyes looked back and forthe between the two demons.
" Let's go Kagome. He's not sick, he's pregnant." Inuyasha all but shouted in victory.
" We can't just leave him here. We should take him to see Kaede." Kagome said in shock.
" Look it's not our job to take care of the scrawny wolf. It's his fault he let some stupid dem-" Inuyasha cut himself off as a very familiar scent drifted to his nose, which he had high in the air while looking down it superiorly at his rival. " You fucking mated with HIM!" The red clad Hanyou bellowed.
" Who's him?" Kagome asked once again feeling left out of the loop.
"Sesshomaru. He not only tried to steal you from me, but then he goes and lets himself be claimed by that bastard." The silver haired half demon spat in disgust.
As if on cue a large gust of wind whipped around the group causing tree branches to thrash and sway as a bright ball of light landed in the midst of them. Looking over the sleeve of his Haori that he had used to protect Kagome and himself, he watched as his brother (he uses that term lightly) stalk over to the downed teal eyed wolf before his one pale hand shot out grasping the Ponytailed raven lockes ;harshly snapping the wolf demons head up so that he could glare down in to shocked wide eyes.
" Speak of the devil." Inuyasha growled as he released his protective hold on Kagome.
" Never run from me, or next time I will not be so Patient." Sesshomaru rumbled as a growl rolled around in his chest.
" Let go of me you asshole." Koga growled in return while trying to ignore the tears that had gathered at the corner of his eyes because of the rainful grip on his hair.
Kagome never being one to let others be bullied, stalked over to the couple determined to give Sesshomaru a piece of her mind. Ignoring Inuyasha's demand to come back and let the idiots work out their own problems, she got right between the two and slapped the demonlords hand from the tired wolf tribe leaders head.
" Listen here you jerk, you don't go around pulling sick peoples hair. I don't care who you are, you're nothing but a bully. It's your fault he's in this condition and now because your pride is bruised you're taking it out on him. Maybe if you actually knew how to be civilized to someone besides yourelf, he wouldn't have ran away from you." Kagome huffed crossing her arms over her heaving chest.
" Out of the way, wench." Sesshomaru growled losing his temper a bit.
" No way. He's pregnant and tired because of you. He just collapsed and he doesn't need the stress because you're upset." Kagome yelled fiercly.
Clod angry eyes moved to look at the softly panting wolf. Hard gold melted slightly at the view of the disheveled male before becoming hard again. Looking at the human female , he felt his aggression rise.
" It's his own doing. He should have come with me the first time I came to collect him." The pround demonlord said stoicly. " Now move, mortal, before I do it for you." The dog demon rumbled.
" Fat chance!" Kagome shot back.
" Get out of his way , Kagome." Inuyasha commanded softly.
" But he..."
" By demon law, he has every right to do as he see's fit. Koga let himself be claimed by the bastard. The stupid wold is his to do as he wants." Inuyasha explained while glaring at his older brother.
" Koga? Is Inuyasha telling the truth?" The raven haired girl asked softly.
" It's true. I'm sorry kagome." Koga whispered as he shaded his eyes with his bangs." I mated with him and let him claim me."
" Oh!" The priestess said in light shock.
" Let's go Kagome. They'll work it out on their own." The Hanyou encouraged as he began walking away. A sad, worried Kagome slowly trailing behind him. " Good luck ya dumb wolf." Was the last thing heard as the two disappeared from view.
" You two go home." Koga ordered as his traveling companions stood to the side quietly during the whole time.
" But Koga..." Hakaku and Ginta trailed off together.
" Go home. I'll be alright, besides Ginta needs the rest and none of the stress of traveling about on a wild goose chase for Naraku." Koga sighed as he inwardly admitted defeat.
" Yes Boss." Ginta whined as his mate ushered him away.
Once the area was clear, Sesshomaru pulled his mate to his feet be fore burying his nose in to the dark silken lockes; inhaling his mates scent. Throen off guard by the tender act, Koga looked up to meet piercing gold, the touch of clawed fingers gently traced his cheek before grasping his chin so that rose rink meet pale oyster ones in a soft kiss.
" Lets go." Seeshomaru ordered as the other just nodded his head lettinga brillant ball of light engulf them and carry them away to their destination.
In the air, Sesshomaru looked down at the other male and felt his heart flutter. The wolf was changing him in ways he never wanted. The male was now his weakness , a chink in his perfect armor that he himself had created by his own doing. Once again observing the darker male he wondered if this feeling was what had allowed his great and rowerful sire to give up his life and if he too would be foolish enough one day to do the same. Being the selfish stubborn lord he was, he just passed the idea with the thought that if his mate couldn't protect himself then he deserved his death, but the small constriction in his chest spoke other wise.
