Hey everyone thanks for the reviews and for my number one fan I am dedicating this chapter to you, here comes the Kouga bashing, poor Kouga lol. Also I would like to say, I have no idea why the previous chapter is all underlined, sorry about that lol.

Kagome was in awe, not only was Sesshomaru letting her hold on to his arm, but his territory was beautiful. She looked around in amazement and had so many questions, for starters why did someone who was so cold and manipulative such a s Sesshomaru have such a wonderful and calming palace.

" Sesshomaru-" "Grr.."

Kagome covered her mouth remembering who to address him. " Lord Sesshomaru?"

"What is it human."

" Why…..why is it so beautiful?"

"What do you mean?" He looked down at her, noticing her true reaction to the area, wondering why she was so amazed. He looked at his surroundings, he had grew up here, his mother not Inuyasha's mother and father had made it the way It is, and he had not bothered to change it.

" Well…..what I mean is, I've never seen anything like it before." Kagome let go of his arm and ran over to a bush of flowers. Sesshomaru looked at her first in disgust but then his face soften just a little when seeing her giggle her response.

" Look at these flowers, there so vibrant, I've traveled too so many places in this era with….and I have never seen such a thing. Those Cherry Blossoms are beautiful!" Kagome once again ran over to the tree and started to touch it, placing her palm on it she inhaled slowly, she couldn't help but think about her sacred Inuyasha tree, back at Inuyasha's forest.

" Hmph…..let's get going now, you had your free time."

"Wh-what?! That's no fair!" Kagome folded her arms she looked at him with a pleading look. He gave her no reaction in reply.

"…….." She looked back the tree and gently turning her back on it slid down, she landed softly and with a small 'thud', resting her head against the tree she looked at Sesshomaru, her eyes asking him to join her.

" I have no time for your games you foolish child."

" Who said…..it was a game?" Kagome looked away hurt, she honestly wanted to just sit and chat, see if she could break his cold exterior.

" …….." Sesshomaru turned around and decided to just not respond to the insolent little girl.

Kagome getting tired and annoyed closed her eyes, she thought back on all her adventures with Inuyasha and the gang and she couldn't let out a sad sigh. Sesshomaru picking u on the low but soft sound looked at her in curiosity.

Slowly Kagome was drifting off, Sesshomaru at first wanting to drag her in so she can just be looked up in her room and sleep there for some reason hesitated. He studied her, in this serene state and not that loud and obnoxious one she seemed almost beautiful…for a human that is.

He walked slowly assuring himself that she was asleep due to the change of breathing he bent down and took her face in his hand.

Kagome feeling the light but evident gesture opened her eyes slowly, at first she thought she saw Inuyasha, but when gathering her senses she saw it was Sesshomaru, she thought about squealing and slapping him, something she would do when Miroku was being an hentai or when Inuyasha would accidentally see her in the lake, but she couldn't bring herself to it.

Sesshomaru squeezed his hand a little, causing some pain, Kagome bit down on her lip, she did not protest unsure of what he was going to do. He leaned in a little and as a reaction Kagome closed her eyes. Sesshomaru looked at her curiously and smelled her, her scent was delicious.

Not wanting to be stained of human scent Sesshomaru was pensive on whether or not he should mark her right here and now. Getting closer he was actually afraid of what he would do, luckily he broke apart, the reason being he heard a fast demon coming his way.

" Grrrr…."

Kagome looked up, and Sesshomaru jumped from his position to block the way of the fast traveling demon.

A big cloud of smoke came and once it disappeared it revealed to be none other than Kouga.

" Oh lookie here, aren't you that mutt's older brother? Sesshomaru was it?"

" You are that…..disgusting and…… foul smelling wolf are you not. I dare not think your name, for you are not worth it."

" Why I aught ya"

" Kouga!"

Kouga looked by the tree and saw Kagome standing up, about to run to her he was stopped by a gust of wind.

Sesshomaru had unsheathed his Tokijin.

" Haha…..I guess it's a fight then…..bring it on!" He turned to Kagome. " I'll rescue ya Kagome! I've always told you mutt face wasn't worth it!" Kouga jumped into the air and brought down and very high speed foot attack.

" Pathetic." Sesshomaru swiftly moved out of the way, leaving a very bewildered and stupid wolf in the air. He went behind Kouga and with his Tokijin did a simple slash attack.

Kouga trying to dodge it only took half the damage but still managed to fall to the floor for a brief moment.

" Kouga!!!" Kagome got up and tried to go to his aid, Sesshomaru using his speed jumped in front of her and stared down at her coldly.

" Ah-!" Kagome stumbled back a bit and fell to the floor, looked up she saw him bend down and came extremely close to her face.

Whispering in his utmost threatning voice he captured her gaze and told her " You….are mine"

Kagome stood in shock, even after the pathetic wolf yelled out a battle cry and jumped on Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru just flung Kouga as if he was rag doll and swung his sword in his direction as a combination attack.

Sesshomaru hovering over Kouga's almost lifeless body was about to swing down his sword to finish him off.

Kagome witnessing this whole seen did the only thing she thought she could do to prevent the tragedy from happening. " SESSHOAMRU PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!!!!"

Sesshomaru paused, still as unclear to why he put his sword back into to place and left the Wolf alone. He started to walk back to his castle only taking one loo at Kagome's hot and stressed face, he turned his head a little just so his voice could reach the wolf demon's ears perfectly.

" Don't think about stepping foot in here again……." With a smirk he added. " Kagome does not need rescuing…..you do."

Sesshomaru left, shocking Kagome even more. How many times is this guy going to surprise her? She looked down at Kouga, afraid to get near him for fear of what Sesshomaru might do, she gave him a soft smile and whispered a sorry. Running back inside Kouga stood there leaning against the tree.

"Shit…."

Alright that's it, hoped ya like it!!! Read and review!!!
