Toga came to kneel in front of Kagome and Aoihi keeping eye contact with Kagome. "Aoihi and I have come up with a small idea that may put you at ease." he started softly.

Toga glanced back at Aoihi and the other dai nodded. Leaning forward Toga brushed his cheek against Kagome's in an act of comfort, he heard the hitch in her breath and the uptick in her heart rate and began to second guess his actions.

Kagome sat stunned she knew why Aoihi had sought to comfort her and while Toga was a very sweet male she didn't expect it from him. Toga leaned back to sit on his feet waiting for any reaction from Kagome as to whether she was ok with his gesture or not. Kagome frowned slightly, she didn't want Toga to comfort her because he felt he had to due to the bond.

"Toga you don't have to try and comfort me just because of the bond, don't force yourself to do something like that." her head drop it really hurt that he felt obligated to comfort her.

Toga reached out slowly and brought his hand to her cheek bringing her head back up to make eye contact with him. "I do not seek to comfort you because I feel forced I truly do wish to help you Kagome. My beast wanted to claim you as pack the first night I was amongst the living again." he stopped taking a moment to read her emotions. While she still looked sad there was a glint of understanding in her gaze as well.

"As I was saying Aoihi and I talked last night, while the bond made was that of a mating we believe that a pack bond may calm our beasts for the time being. Neither of us wishes to force you to mate us and we will fight the bond as much as we can so that it does not come to that. If at some point feelings emerge we will cross that bridge when we get there do you understand?". Kagome looked at Toga a moment longer than looked over her shoulder at Aoihi.

"So you both want to claim me as pack is that correct?" Both dais nodded.

"But I can't be an alpha in both packs can I? I know I don't fully understand pack yet but I thought it was only two alphas per pack in being pack bound to both of you wouldn't that make two alpha males?"

Aoihi took this moment to speak, "Normally you are correct dear one there are only two alphas per pack however this is a special case. Normally this would be resolved by the two alphas fighting."

Aoihi saw Kagome's stricken face "Relax Kagome we will not fight for this position while it is normal we both understand you do not wish to see us fight."

Kagome's face lit with a bright smile that she turned on both dais "Thank you, there has been so much fighting already it means a lot to me that you two understand my wish for it to stop."

Toga smiled back at Kagome "So young one, are you ok with being pack bond to both of us? You need to understand that in doing so we would both mark you and it can be painful. Along with the mark we would both become very protective and possessive of you."

Kagome looked back and forth between them again "I'm not an object."

They nodded but Toga spoke "We understand that however we cannot help the instincts, you too may become possessive of us. Sense we do not yet know the existents of your new instincts it will be best to be prepared for that."

Kagome thought for a minute she had almost forgot about that little piece of information, Toga was right she couldn't get mad at them if she would in turn do the same thing.

"What else will the pack bond cause?" Kagome asked.

Aoihi smiled "It is common in canine packs for the alphas to sleep close to each other, it is not sexual in nature it is more of a comfort. It is also common for the alpha males to bathe with the alpha females and pups."

Kagome was already blushing just from the thought of sharing her bed but a bath was a whole new story no one but her family had seen her in the buff.

A chuckle from Toga drew her attention to him. "We understand your desire for privacy Kagome and we will not push any of the common desires of an alpha male of a pack. But we will wish to be near at all times we may not bathe with you however we would still wish to be there."

Kagome took a deep breath "So really all the bond will do is make us want to be closer right it's not like it will make us fall in love or anything right." she looked up with a hopeful look.

Aoihi nodded "You are correct in a sense it will make us closer and it will create the feeling of family so it is still a form of love however it will not force romantic feelings dear one, does that put you at ease some?"

Kagome nodded, it did help some she didn't like the idea of force being used in matters of the heart, but Aoihi described it more as a suggestive nudge than force.

Aoihi waited to see if she was going to have any more questions before he continued. Brushing his nose under her ear he drew her attention once more. "It is my belief dear one that in taking a pack bond with both of us it will help to stabilize your aura as well."

Kagome thought for a moment "How so?"

Her answer came from Toga "You carry our aura markers in yours by completing a bond of some sort we will be able to help influence your aura with our own. If it becomes violent we can help calm it if it becomes weak we can help strengthen it. It will give us a more solid bond to you and you to us it works both ways."

Most of her questions were now answered and while it did seem like it would be uncomfortable at first the more they talked about it the more it made sense. The only worry she had was her pups if she was pack to these two daiyouki what would happen to them. She knew Shippo already had pack bond with his father but her human pups are the ones that worried her she wanted them to have the same love and protection she would have from a pack. With that thought in mind Kagome sought to get one last answer from her soon to be alphas.

"What about my pups, I know Shippo already has a pack bond but will both of you willing make a pack bond with my two human pups as well." she looked at both judging their reactions Aoihi had a light smile it seemed he knew she would ask this Toga on the other hand had a thoughtful look on his face. Kagome couldn't quite read it. "I will not take a bond with out my pups." she stated hard when she didn't get an answer from either of them.

Aoihi's smile grew at her statement she really was such a wonderful mother, he would never dream of taking her in to his pack without her pups. He knew last night his beast claimed them all as pack. If she wouldn't have asked he would have made a point of it before the marking took place. "I will gladly take in your pups to pack as well Kagome I don't believe my beast would have it any other way." he finished with a chuckle his beast really was a stubborn creature when it wanted to be.

Kagome smiled at him and nuzzled in to his neck he had just made her really happy and it seemed her body was doing its own thing. When her tongue snuck out and lick just below his ear she pulled back a blush on her cheeks at her action.

Aoihi laughed fully at her action it must have surprised her "Relax Kagome that is natural to do in thanks." he leaned down and returned the gesture only making her blush harder.

She turned her head to look at Toga to see a warm smile on his face it confused her slightly at first. Toga had thought about what Kagome said he really didn't have an issue with it one of her pups was his grand pup anyways even without a mark he would still protect and love her pups.

He was drawn out of his thoughts by Aoihi's voice he watched the interaction between the two and couldn't help the smile on his face. It was heartwarming to see her react as an alpha female of a canine pack would. Her new instincts were very strong and he was sure that it would not be long before she sought comfort in her alphas. As she turned to him his smile softened even more she was waiting for his answer and he would not disappoint her in the slightest bit.

"I have no issues taking in your pups Kagome, Rin is my grand pup as is, and even without a pack bond to you or them I would care for and protect them. A pack bond will only make that desire stronger." he stated the smile never leaving his eyes.

She moved faster than either dai had expected as she lunged out and hugged Toga around the neck burring her nose in the crock of his neck and shoulder. She didn't believe this day could get any better with both Aoihi and Toga as alphas to her and her pups they would be the safest people in the lands.

Toga was shocked at first but recovered quickly bringing his arms up around the small woman pressed to his chest. His beast purred deep and long in the back of his mind and Toga found himself wanting to do the same. It felt right to have her so close he nuzzled the side of her neck taking in her sent in a deep breath and smiled. He felt her lift her head slightly "Thank you" was the soft whisper he heard from her lips followed by her tongue licking under his ear in the same manner she did Aoihi.

Kagome breathed deeply with her nose buried in Togas neck he smelled divine. The scent of smoky cedar with a bite of a thunderstorm it was the kind of sent that shocked your scenes awake and she found that she could very easily become addicted to it. When she did the same act as she had done with Aoihi her tongue tingled wither it was from his power or his scent she wasn't sure and she would ponder on it later.

Sitting back on her feet again she smiled sheepishly at Toga she wasn't close to him but she couldn't stop the reaction either. Once more the bright smile was on her face "You both have my permission to from a pack bond with me." Kagome's stomach rumbled loudly in the quiet room making both dais laugh out loud.

Aoihi stood up and walked in front of her, "Well we can worry about it later this evening for now let's get you fed dear one."

He held his hand out to her and she looked over to see Toga doing the same, she reached up and placed both of her hands in theirs and allowed them to pull her to her feet. Turning and linking her arms in both of theirs they made their way out of the hut and off to Kaede's where Kagome was sure the rest of her family was already eating whatever Kaede made for breakfast.

It didn't take long before the three made it to Kaede's hut and Kagome walked in pulling behind her both dais by the hand. The sight was a little shocking for the huts occupants but at seeing the smile on all three faces none said a word.
