Chapter 18- Another demon encounter = hey all finally made it back! Here is the latest chapter and thanks for the reviews and support. I am glad you are enjoying it and I hope to post again soon depending on whats going on and remember could have errors I rarely reread through my rushed typing.

Her feet dragged as her hand came up to her lips to hide a yawn; this whole waking at dawn thing was killing her and she had never been much of a morning person to begin with. Kagome's gaze shifted to the stiff demon lord who walked a few paces ahead. It wasn't fair on how demons could go days without sleep; even the younger ones could out do humans which was just sad… and this particular one had a horrific habit of nudging her a wake at the crack of dawn, but she had no room to complain considering she liked to whine around two in the afternoon when her feet began to ache; so she would allow him to keep this habit of stirring her so early…least for a while.

A sigh escaped her lips as her heavy eye lids closed for a moment; it had been a couple days since their last run in with anything dangerous but she had a nagging feeling something was around the corner. They had made it through a forest and one creepy swamp which had critters she didn't even think were discovered in the future. What even more irked her was half the time Sesshomaru wouldn't even acknowledge her…like she was a stray dog following him around. He was the mutt who decided to tag along and was so set on helping her. Though Kagome had a feeling he was quite lost in thought most the time and the other half was spent keeping his senses in over drive listening to the softest of disturbances within range.

Without even realizing it she ran right smack into the solid back of the demon prince which caused her to stumble back near falling on her fanny. Pale clawed fingers gripped her upper arm to steady her momentarily. "You should mind your surroundings miko." Kagome tugged her arm from his touch at his comment. "You do enough of it for the both of us…Why did you stop?" His deep amber gaze settled on her before answering. "The atmospheric energy is unstable…something is amiss." Her attention focused now on the local area at his words, trying to sense what he was feeling, but she figured she would be unsuccessful. "You seem to attract the worst of guest." She heard him mutter beneath his breath as he returned to his pace. Kagome couldn't help but to give a Humph at his statement, her arms going up to rest beneath her breasts in a crossed gestured of frustration.

She waited a couple seconds before following his strides across the pasture which they currently resided in; the grass was shriveling up and shifting to the colors of fall from the latest light frosted mornings. Winter was going to kill her she knew, the kimonos she had weren't meant for the harsh cold weather which would soon rear its ugly head in a few weeks at the most. Shaking her head to clear it she knew that was the least of her problems currently, there was most likely several demons on the loose hunting her down from the well and this other demon who wanted Sesshomaru dead…or perhaps she somehow caused his appearance in the past as well but she had no clue who the black hearted scoundrel was. Without her even noticing his movements she was suddenly grabbed tucked against the chest of Sesshomaru which was becoming far too familiar for her liking and they both went diving to the ground with several rolls following. It wasn't more than a split second later a large crash and thud was heard as she opened her eyes looking to a left seeing a very large tree roots and all…which came from nowhere near here considering she hadn't seen one for good couple hours…this couldn't be a good sign…

Kagome's eyes shifted up to Sesshomaru who was narrowly looking up across the field at something which was way beyond her viewing status. Within another split second she was back on her feet except all ruffled up from the tumbling. Not having time to even look at their new enemy she was being pulled against the demon lord once more and they were soon moving at such a quick demonic speed that nothing was really visible and it made her stomach turn. Why was he running? She wondered to herself hoping the thoughts would distract her. She didn't count seconds but couldn't have been but a minute and they came to abrupt halt and her feet for third time returned to the ground in the last five minutes. "That is one demon I don't particular have a desire to face currently…" She saw the thin line he had formed with his lips, the closes thing to a grimace she guessed she would ever see lining Sesshomaru's perfect features. He almost looked as if he was feeling a pain that wasn't there. "Who was it?" She blurted out, her mouth moving faster than her mind which was becoming a bad habit. "Just a demon which I have had a conformation with since I was a pup…"

She blinked and raised a brow to him in question but he turned away and strolled off once more and she was left wondering what the heck just happened…and before another thought crossed her mind she was tackled once again basically and went tumbling around and it wasn't her companion; the next silly thought which came to mind which was ridiculous considering she didn't know who the heck was tackling and dragging her to the ground now was it must be a popular trait in demons to tackle women to the ground and tumble them. Feeling sharp points dig into her arms let her know it was demon since she hadn't opened her eyes yet because when she met contact to the ground her head was the first to feel it and she didn't feel like seeing splotches across her vision so soon. The annoyed growl she heard next though forced her to open her eyes and see a male looking down on her with piercing green eyes which glowed with a vengeance . The name though stumble from her lips without second thought… "Koga?" She blinked studying the younger face of her companion in the future which looked quite peeved for some reason and had a tight grip on her arms. The words which escaped his lips which she heard all to clearly stung. "Spending your time with human bitches now Sesshomaru?" He spat out with viciously though his gaze slightly shifted to curiousity on how she knew who he was. Kagome soon heard another growl coming from another prince across the way and within a second the weight of the wolf was gone from her form. She sat up in a hurry to find the two demons facing each other down with heating glares and within a split moment another scene came to mind of her future and it was of Inuyasha facing down a older Koga…well both apples didn't fall far from each other…She thought to herself as it seemed Sesshomaru had a history with Koga as Inuyasha one day would as well.

She would have actually giggled about it if it was any other circumstances but it just wasn't the time or place; another thing was these look far more serious with each other then the future Koga and Inuyasha spats…she really did have quite a bit influences on the wolf prince. She heard several growls and sneered remarks go back and forth as they now and then with their demonic speeds went at each other and paused with a few more smug comments. At that exact moment she felt it, apparently the two fools having it out didn't but she did, there was another presence around here and it was growing closer way faster then she liked…

Alright there you go another chapter up a bit short but as said Hopefully will update again soon was a bit of a turn in this story meeting Koga but makes it all more interesting for the future REVIEWS thanks!
