Chapter 19- Within a whirl wind
See told you I would update soon as for the next chapter who knows _ R&R Enjoy! And Ya'll see my pic of sesshy I drew the young sesshy ^-^ it turned out good. I drew my other pic for my other story too go me!
Within a split moment a whirl wind of dust and small pebbles came to stand a few feet from her, the focus of the creature not on her but the two pups squabbling about, the light wind calmed and what and who came into view was a story all its own. A male looking similar to Koga in apparence but much more gruff in demeanor , and least head taller then even the Koga she knew in the future. The deep rumbling voice following on confirmed her thoughts. "Koga, Sesshomaru, this is no time for your childish spats. Son if I have to hunt you down once more over your dislike for the dog demon I will personally skin your hide to the extent you won't be able to run. She watched with slight interest as the boys immediately extracted themselves from each other.
"Yes father…" Kagome heard the childish reply from the younger Koga whom shuffled back over to his father, his gaze turned down. As if he had just noticed her existence the elder wolf demon shifted his piercing blue gaze toward her. "Human what concern do you have here?" His voice held no distaste nor much interest for her. Forcing breath into her lungs since all attention had returned to her she managed to stumble words from her lips. "I'm…trave…traveling with Lord Sesshomaru." She watched as the bushy brown brow of the male raised in a bit of curiosity. "Sesshomaru is this truth?" The wolf asked without turning his attention from her which made her even more nervous. "It is Lord Sanykon." At the answer the elder wolf raised both brows in a perplexed expression. "Your father knows of this?" Sesshomaru gave a curt nod for response and looked to Kagome , his gaze briefly scanning her.
"Where do you travel to?" Sesshomaru gave a mental sigh. He didn't want this Lord hassling him about information, he wished to just venture on with his new companion to get this over with. "Our destination is the Northern realm." Sesshomaru watched the lord ponder to himself and he didn't like the looks of this… "Koga you will join them." At that statement all three of them said at once. "What?" The Lord chuckled in amusement before replying to the trio. "You two should learn to get along and a quest will be good for you Koga, you should have the practice. Besides two young demons is better than one. Ya'll will survive whole lot easier. I'm sure Lord Intashio would agree with me on that our alliance would only be strengthened by the decision." He smirked as he turned on heel to leave the three to their own devices but his son's voice stopped him.
"Father you can't be serious about leaving me with this …this mutt and a human…it isn't logical… its" He was cut off bluntly. "You will accompany them, and you will not return until their quest is complete whatever it is, and you will bring home proof you visited the Northern lands by dropping by your cousin's kin and getting one of their furs to bring back. You are not to return till you do so, and you are to help them and not dishonor your own family." At those words the Lord of the East rose to his full stature and sped off in another whirl wind of dust and other such debris. Kagome was left mouth near agape about the new arrangements…groaning mentally she felt like banging her head against a tree to knock herself out of her misery. Life isn't fair…fate isn't fair… giving a heavy sigh she manage to find her footing and glance between the two young demons who seemed to not be much more amused about the situation then she was…they were glaring at one another with stares which could kill.
"Well…" She stated softly between the two. "Looks like we are stuck with each other so we mines well attempt not to kill one another, the faster we get to the Northern Mountains the faster we can separate. So please try to be civil to one another." She turned back to the previous path they had been walking and started off, she wasn't going to dally over them. With any luck those two would start having it out again and she would be free to escape from both of the young princes. Within a few seconds though she soon found Sesshomaru in stride next to her and with a glance back she saw Koga dragging his feet a few paces behind as he grumbled. Apparently they chose family, honor, duty over petty squabbles. Well there went that small bit of hope smashed… She said mentally to herself.
A couple hours the trio remained in silence and it was beginning to nag at Kagome, she was never one for silence, silence was for the dead…plenty of time to be quiet after you are six feet under. "Sesshomaru-sama how long do you think it will take on foot to reach the north from here?" She asked in a sweet innocent tone trying not to irk him in any manner. "Near half a moon if we have no interruptions, which I doubt we will be so blessed." Kagome looked back once more to see if the wolf was still with them and he was though now he was just glancing about in a bored manner. She remembered how hard it was to coax Koga to put up with anything in the future and the she recalled all too clearly him kidnapping her overseeing the jewels. She couldn't help the light giggle which escaped her lips at the thought, it was just so comical now that she thought back. Though the young Koga gave her a bit of comfort even though he didn't like her right now, perhaps he would a little bit in few days.
Returning to silence after the few words exchanged didn't help her nerves any…it was bad enough some evil demon was after Sesshomaru here but also all the creatures coming from the well…and she would still like to know what happened to her portal to begin with. That other priestess had been a bit of help but not enough on information about the issue. The many mysteries swarmed her head and she didn't have answers to any of them. She just wanted to get home, her real home, sure would be nice to see Inuyasha again, and the others but her mother was way more tempting then either of the other places. Not to mention she didn't know what she would end up changing in her future. It was bad enough interfering with Sesshomaru's life but now Koga too? She took a deep breath and released it in another sigh.
She didn't know what fate wanted from her, sure she made her fair share of mistakes but nothing to the point of having this much bad karma…She just hoped this witch or demoness …whatever who she was traveling to visit existed, otherwise she was doomed…doomed to stay here forever and never seen anyone again… No she couldn't think that right now, not for anything. She would get home, she would see everyone again, down to her fat cat who liked stealing her snacks while she wasn't looking. With a heavy heart she continued on trying not to think about the future or the past, she was determined to keep her mind on now. Her gaze landed on Sesshomaru's back which was rigid and stiff as always, but she then heard him growl lowly … "What was that comment wolf? If you have something to say speak up to where we all can hear." At this point they all had stopped in their tracks and Kagome looked between the two. "I had said humans are too dang slow, otherwise if it was just you and me we would be there is a couple of days at the most."
Koga spat out and threw a glare in her direction. Sesshomaru was now past her and ready to strike at the wolf for his offense to her. "Sesshomaru please don't and Koga if you are in such a blasted hurry you know your way, go on wolf boy make a run for it, you could hang around few days and return to your precious family in no time. If I had to take a wild guess your father sent you with us because of your attitude in hopes that you might get a grip!" Her voice had raised with every few words to near yelling at him and it wasn't most wisest thing to do because she heard Koga growl this time and in a blur was just about to lunge for her but was quickly interjected by Sesshomaru who hand pounced on him like a panther with its prey and so she watched the go rolling around on the ground. Each taking turns on being in lead of trying to beat the hell out of the other one. With a heavy sigh Kagome just plopped down on the ground, she was just going to let them fight it out, they would either exhaust themselves or one beat the heck out the other, though she bet on the first statement considering they were around same age and same level of skill for time being.
Darkness was beginning to fall anyway and she had no urge to be gallivanting around in the dark so she just returned her attention to her new companions in hope they would get over themselves soon.
Yeah there we go another chapter, hope you enjoyed was another twist of interest now :P Talk to ya'll later. R&R thanks!
