Chapter 7 that scent . . .

Kagome had been asleep for two days although it was not to her knowledge. Kouga had wanted to make sure that 'his women' was kept safe and to also make sure that she would not leave him in search of the damn half breed. He of course used the rest of the potion that he acquired form the apothecary to place her into a deep sleep. Although he did not know how long it would last all he knew was that he needed it to last till he got to her to his secured hideout.

It was coming upon midnight when they had finally reached the mountain chain. Still holding onto Kagome he lowered the barrier that surrounded the mountain's and walked into the small caves mouth only to reappear on a small cliff that over looked a great forest area. As he looked over the land he let a sigh escape through his lips as he remembered when this land once held a mighty castle. This was the land that had once been that of his fathers, but after the war it had reduced it to nothing. Kouga left his memories and moved over to climb down the mountain's side as he entered the forest.

Kouga entered the forest and moved over to an open area, He remembered how much Kagome liked it when she had spent the day in the flower field before and found another one only this one was covered with that of iris. Laying her down upon the field he left her to go around and secured the perimeter while Gintu and Hakakku watched over her.

Although Kouga was not the only one patrolling his lands, not to far away was the strongest tiayokia that ever roamed. Sesshomaru lead the way through the forest while Rin and Jaken road onto of AH-UN. The forest around them was quiet save for the sounds of the light breathing that came from a sleeping child and her watched. Sesshomaru continued to walk till he felt that of a youkia's aura approaching him.

As he stopped so did the two headed dragon, causing the sleeping pair to awaken from the movement. Jaken was at full attention as he too caught wind of the creature's yoika. Jumping down from the beast he walked next to its rains taking them in his hands he asked.

"What is it My Lord?"
Although he did not reply he only stood there with a look of boredom on his face.
Soon a great ogre yokia appeared before them its skin green with that of only one eye and its massive body was like in an ape's position.

"Rin, Close your eyes."

"Yes Milord"

Sesshomaru lifted his hand intending to do away with it when the creature in question was already disposed of on the ground. Looking towards that of the other yokia's presences he saw that of the cocky wolf prince.

Kouga was running through the forest chasing after a demon who had tried to attack him. He was going to make it pay forever trying to attack him. Oh yes then he would make sure that the area around his camp was safe so that nothing would hurt his precious Kagome.

He was gaining on it; its stench was so close now. As he prepared to strike he smelt another demons scent, as he made his attack he destroyed the demon with a single swipe of his claws. Then as he saw to it that it had fully been killed he prepared for the other Yokia's presence that was now in front of him.

He looked to the demon in front of him and was surprised to see that of none other than Lord Sesshomaru stand in front of him. Kouga held a small smile on his lips as he walked over to the great Lord and said.

"Well hello Lord Sesshomaru, What do I owe this pleasure?"

"Wolf you will leave my presence at once."

"You dear lord are on my lands border."

At this Jaken yelled at the ignorant wolf prince.
"How dare you talk like that to Lord Sesshomaru! You filthy wolf, you have no right to even stand in front of him!"

"Jaken!"

"Yes my lord, please forgive this lowly servant of yours."

"I see, so the mighty Lord needs a little toad to speak for him. How funny."

" . . ."

"Dog got your tongue. HAHAHAHAHAHA "

Suddenly Sesshomaru lunged foreword towards the wolf stopping his laughing, Kouga took a fighting stance but was stunned when he past right by him attacking a yokia that had made it's way behind him.

Kouga stated where he was and took on that of a serious face.

"I am sorry for my earlier comments lord Sesshomaru, I guess now we are even. You are welcome to travel my lands for as long as you want as my apology towards my comments toward you."

" . . . "

"Good bye."

With that the wolf prince was gone.

Jaken, Au-Uh and Rin all watched as the man walked off in the other direction.

"My Lord you are just going to allow that demon to walk away with out a scratch on him?"

"Jaken . . ."

"Yes my lord."

"Do you not smell that?"

"What my lord."

"The stench of the wolf was mixed with that of the smell of my stupid half breed's wench."

"Mi' lord?"

"Come Jaken."

"Yes my lord."

'This might be the opportunity I need to finally destroy my stupid excuse for a brother. . . but why would that wolf hold his wench's scent while I do not smell him anywhere near here?"

"My lord? Why did you not kill the wolf prince? You had all the rights to do so."

"Come."

With that they continued walking onward. All the while his mind worked on trying to find out why her scent was on the wolf.
