Chapter Thirty Six- Wishful Welcoming

"Rina?" Kouga asked questionably. The fox demon growled as he spoke her name.

"You lying son of a bitch!" she screamed, watching as Kagome stared at his in disbelief.

"You-…you're the one trying to kidnap me and take me to Kyo!" Kagome screamed and hid behind Kouga.

"Heh, in time Kagome, in time." She said, walking away quickly, just as she had come.

"Kagome, lets go." Kouga whispered allowing her to climb onto his back. He then whisked off, stopping at nothing. After three hours of running Kouga had come to a large gate, Kagome was asleep on his back, still gripping to him tightly, which he quite enjoyed.

Kouga didn't know what to do next. He raised his hand to knock when the door creaked open. "Kagome!" a little girl's voice rang inside the wolf's head, sending a sharp ringing through his ears.

"Rin. Go to bed." Sesshoumaru stood behind the little girl, who looked at her master then, walked to her room without complaint. Kouga looked at him and spat on the ground. "I didn't know if you were actually going to bring her back, Kouga." The lord played with his name.

"Of course I brought her back I said I was going to did I!" Kouga shot back, careful not to wake his angel.

"From what I gathered you love her." Sesshoumaru saw as the wolf's emotions went from sad to happy to disappointment. "If you love her, go ahead, take her back to were you live. If you love each other you should be with each other." A playful smile danced on the lord's lips, but faded at the wolf's words.

"It wouldn't be right. She has never loved me. Probably never will. She stays here with you." Kouga turned around and allowed Kagome to be taken off his back, gently. Beginning to walk around Sesshoumaru's arm caught him.

"Stay here. There are things we must discuss." Sesshoumaru began to walk away, carrying Kagome bridal style to her room. Kouga followed him to Kagome's room. Watching as his love was carried away in the strong arms of someone else. Sesshoumaru walked to the door then stopped. Remembering the sensors that were put in the room. Slowly he recalled his steps and put her in his room, on the side of the bed in which she usually slept. Kouga let out a small growl. His woman in bed with someone else tore at him.

"It is for the best, wolf." Sesshoumaru said kindly, shutting and locking the door behind him. He personally led Kouga to him room, which was just down the hall from Kagome's. Inuyasha had taken the one beside her since his lasted visit. The two males entered the room. Kouga sat down on the bed. Shocked by the rooms' contentment. Sesshoumaru started to tell him of how a servant would personally assist him in tidying up in front of his guests. Then left with. "We'll speak tomorrow."

Kagome awoke to the weight of the bed shift. Looking over to find Sesshoumaru climbing into bed. Startled he jumped sideways, only to receive a weird glare.

"Wh-When did I get here." She stuttered getting off the bed moving towards the door that had separated their rooms.

"Kagome don't go in there." He said in a worried tone, surprising Kagome greatly. "It's not safe." He returned to his emotionless self.

Kagome just turned to him and started to cry, running out his bedroom door and drifting away to the comforts of the garden. Breathing in the fumes of the beloved roses. They didn't care if she cried, tears fell, slowly creeping down her face. She was scared of everything around her.

"Kagome?" a worried voice sounded behind her. Kagome looked and found, short to her dismay, Inuyasha stood. Kagome stared at him and slowly backed away. Afraid that everything that she had put through, everything that she had experienced was because of him.

"Leave me be Inuyasha. Go back to Kikyou." She stuttered. Backing farther way until her back was brought to her tree.

"Kagome what's wrong? Why are you crying." Inuyasha followed her to the tree, sitting down in front of her.

"Just leave me alone." She cried again, scanning the garden for some dark place she could hide in.

"Kagome-…" he took her cheek in his hand. Rubbing his thumb in a circular motion, trying to sooth her. "What's the matter?" he asked again. She just collapsed into his body, sobbing fearlessly against his chest.

"I don't want to wanted." She said quickly. Running her mind through the thought of being kidnapped frightened her. "I don't want to leave Sesshoumaru, but everywhere I look I put everyone's life in danger." Kagome looked deep into the eyes of the one she loved. "Everyone's including yours, Inuyasha." She said, wrapping herself in the warmth of his body, falling asleep.

"Inuyasha-…leave her be. Put the woman down!" a voice sounded coldly.
