The Magic of You

Chapter 36: Meeting Alpha

Kagome eyes wiped towards that voice. Her eyes widen when she saw who the person. She quickly moved and jumped into his arms. He catches her when she did. "Inuyasha!" He held her close. She could not believe he was here. After waiting for so long, her best friend is back. "When did you get here?"

He said while nuzzling her neck. "Today, your friends kept me company." Then she felt him sniff her and she froze. She knew that he knows something changed with her.

Inuyasha drew her back in disgust and said, "Kagome, you smell terrible!" Kagome gaped at him then she grinned at him mischievously.

"Guess", she said.

Looking over her shoulder he said, "Something to do with the guy over there". Kagome pulled away and turned to face Loki. She held his hand to draw him near, and he did. The two men she had loved in her life finally face each other.

Clearing her voice she said, "Loki, this is Inuyasha, my best friend." To Inuyasha she said, "This is Loki, my husband now".

Inuyasha crossed his arms and studied the god in front of him. He could not believe when Shippou called him and told him that Kagome was dating the crazy god. Looking at him, he did not seemed so bad but he had watched on television his army invades. He kept his reservations of his opinion until he talked to him in private. Holding out his hand Inuyasha said, "Nice to meet you, Loki".

Loki took his hand and replied. "The pleasure is mine, Inuyasha". They face each other, but they said nothing else.

The moment was awkward but Kagome did not care. Taking her place next to Loki, she asked, "Inuyasha, where is Sesshoumaru?"

Scuffing he said, "Oh, him, he is will be arriving later, I think. He sent me ahead to prepare you, but I found you crossing space into another world."

Kagome blushed at his reprimand. Loki did not like that and said, "She accompanied me to see my father. She was in good hands".

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes to him. "I find that hard to believe".

Before Loki could reply, Kagome intervened. "Inuyasha, I have someone else for you to meet". She signals for Thor to come closer. He had stayed a few feet away during this time. Looking at Inuyasha, she said, "This is Thor. He is Loki's older brother".

Still looking hard on Loki, Inuyasha turned to study the god of thunder. He was bigger than his brother. Neither looked the same, and their scent indicated no relation. Inuyasha eyebrows furrowed, but said nothing. Families are not just of blood, but of bonds too. Bowing to Thor he said, "Pleasure to meet you, Thor".

Thor smiled brightly at Inuyasha. "I am pleased to meet my new sister's friends. She has told us of your skills as a warrior".

Inuyasha blushed at Thor's compliment. Even after centuries of fighting. He still was uncomfortable with praises of others. Kagome noticed, and Inuyasha rolled his eyes at her knowing looks. Then he asked them, "Is that all she been saying?"

Kagome tried to bit her smiled because Inuyasha looked a little uncomfortable. She answered him, "Just the truth".

He narrowed his eyes to her. "From whose point of view".

"Mine of course", she said cheekily.

"Then lies found itself in it", he said while narrowing his eyes.

Kagome narrowed her eyes to him too. "Cant changed the facts if their true".

"They can when they come from you", he counter.

Somebody cough interrupted their batter. The both looked and found the Avengers and Fury with other SHIELD agents waiting for them. Kagome smiled sheepishly. Inuyasha always tended to make her lose sight of where she was while riling her temper. With an embarrass look she said, "Hey guys, we are back!"

Steve drew near to them and asked, "I hope your travel was not for nothing".

Loki grabbed her hand and said to Steve, "No, it was fruitful".

"Joyful news my friends", exclaimed Thor while grabbing Loki's shoulders. "Brother has been pardon and his powers returned to him".

Fury frowned at his announcement. "How we know he won't go rogue during or after the fight with this Thanos guy".

"I have no intention of causing more harm to Midgard", replied Loki coldly. He looked at Fury and said, "I have great interest to keep this world safe".

Fury looked towards Kagome and said, "Your wife".

Loki did not like the way he looked at Kagome and stood in front covering from his sight. "She has nothing to do with it. I will repay my dept to Midgard". Fury nodded pleased with the god's words. Inuyasha stayed behind and said nothing while they talked.

He had already had a confrontation with Fury hours before. Inuyasha arrived demanding why he had taken into his team Kagome. Fury said that she would be a great asset to the team. Inuyasha told him that as part of their pack, she had no reason to do so. The director calmly informed the angry inu youkai that Kagome had joined the team on her own will. He only gave her the opportunity and she had accepted. Then the set out to talk about youkai right and regulation. Inuyasha informed the director that they would receive an ambassador who would negotiate with them. Fury was not pleased with him, but he cannot afford to be angry at an entire race living among the humans for a long time. A race that was very powerful indeed.

Inuyasha wanted to rant and rampage but knew that Kagome had joined the team on her own from Shippou. He had been displeased because Kagome deserved to live her own life. She knew how to fight, yes, but she was more a pacifist when it came to fighting. Both brothers had taken her actions not well since Kagome would be putting herself in constant danger working with the Avengers. One of the reasons he had come is to change her mind in that situation.

The last thing he wanted to find out is that she got married to ex-villain god. When Shippou met him at his hotel, and told him the news, Inuyasha threw a fit. Kagome always tended to get into trouble. Marring the god of lies was the worst thing she could have ever done. Inuyasha had tried to go convince her to break the bond. Only to hear from Shippou that she had left for another world with the gods.

He had waited patiently to approach SHIELD, but he knew he had to do it. Once that was complete, he had gone to meet the Avengers. They all seemed fine to Inuyasha. They actually reminded him of their misfit group in the past. Inuyasha was not surprise of Kagome involvement with this team, because she would fit right at home. He was talking with them when Dr. Jane Foster announce of their arrival. He had gone with them to meet her.

They all moved from the bifrost sight then flight back the tower. Kagome kept herself close to Loki, while Inuyasha stayed close to her. They were quiet the whole trip to the tower, but Kagome wanted to ask so many questions to Inuyasha. Shippou had answered some of them, but she wanted them answered by Inuyasha.

At the tower, she found Darcy, and Shippou waiting for them. She came to hug Kagome close. "You came back!" She pulled away to look at Kagome. "Kagome, you are glowing. What happen over there?"

Kagome blushed at her sister's question, but did not answer. Shippou cleared his voice and said, "Sesshoumaru-sama is here. He will be arriving in a few minutes". Kagome froze at that announcement. One thing was Inuyasha, he was her best friend. Another thing is Sesshoumaru, he was her alpha.

Swallowing hard she tried to find Loki. He was talking with Thor, and Steve. He must have felt her anxiety because he turned towards her while frowning. Leaving his company, Loki came to her in concern. "Kagome, are you okay? I felt your distress".

"Sesshoumaru is arriving in a few minutes", she informed him. He took the news calmly but did draw her closer to him. He looked at Shippou, he confirmed it by nodding.

"Then it's time to meet older brother", he said softly.

Kagome tried to laugh at his words but she was nervous. Then Jarvis announced, "Mr. Taishou is arriving".

Everyone froze in their place except Inuyasha and Shippou. When the door opened, a tall handsome man walked inside with all the grace in the world. Inuyasha and Shippou jumped into action and came to meet him. He dismissed their actions as he sought someone. When he located Kagome, he drew near her.

She was trying to swallow her lump but looking at Sesshoumaru hard. He had saved her in more ways than others, and he was here. He stopped a few feet from her and said, "Miko, you are well".

Kagome nodded while bowing in reverence. "I am well, Sesshoumaru-sama. It is a pleasure to see you once again." He acknowledged her words then he turned to look at the god next to her with cold eyes. She quickly said, "This is Loki of Asgard, my mate".

He said nothing but regarded the god with cold and calculating eyes. Loki has met many creatures in his many years, but this one was different. His aura felt powerful, almost suffocating to Loki. Loki was aware that his actions were not correct but Kagome was his wife now. That was not going to change any time soon. Loki bow lightly. "Sesshoumaru-sama is great to finally meet you".

He still said nothing to Loki only bowing back in return. Then he turned towards Kagome and said, "We need to talk, miko. I prefer away from this place and others". Loki tensed next to her. She held his hand tighter to stop him.

Kagome swallowed hard but said, "I also need to speak to you, my lord". With a pleading look she gave Loki who wanted to argue with her. "I will return soon, Loki". He reluctantly accepted her request. Giving her a kiss, he sent a clear sign to Sesshoumaru. The other guy took the act of possessiveness with cool eyes.

Sesshoumaru watched Loki move away while Kagome excuse herself with Darcy and Shippou. Turning swiftly he left the room. The others watched as the Kagome followed the cold figure that had arrived.
