Chapter 20- The New Trio

You know just noticed its just passed the anniversary of this story, been three years. I started this story when I broke up with my ex and haven't dated since so I threw myself into writing. It kind of helped but also made me think now that been on this story long while and should work on updating more even though said that before doesn't seem to ever work -_- ; also noticed how much things have changed for me in some ways in view points on life. Anyway dedicating this chapter to all you patient fans who wait patiently and others not so patiently wanting to strangle me for not updating enough and to those who stuck with me through the last couple years on this story. Also dedicating it to the story itself and to my ex because was also around time we broke up and hope he is happier where ever he is because our relationship ended in a crashing hectic way. Anyway enough of my rambling and here is chapter 20 oh and also wanted to say don't really know how long this story is going to be but won't be much longer until little bit of romantic interest start up.

"For the hundredth time I said I am sorry; sheesh Lord Koga, wasn't exactly my fault you got your tail stuck under that boulder in the first place, you were too busy arguing with Sesshomaru-sama over who would kill the demon and I was busy running from it!" It had been three days since the trio had gotten stuck with one another and since then had been nothing but spats between the three. They had also run into a bit of trouble with couple of ogres that they had happened to stumble across their lair…well more of Kagome who had fell into the lair but that was a tale for another day…

Kagome glanced back to a still fuming Koga who was stroking his half bald tail in the process. "Its not like the hair won't be back in a couple of days…you are a demon for goodness sake, everything goes ten times faster for ya'll." Her gaze then returned to the stiffness of Sesshomaru's shoulders which she figured was half of her fault and the another quarter because of the wolf. Giving a heavy sigh her shoulders slumped in the process and her gaze fell to feet as they took each step. Seems she always had to put up with spoiled brats and hard headed demons who couldn't get over themselves. Her life seemed to be turning into one far fetched fairy tale after another and who would have ever thought she would end up in super feudal Japan traveling with two demonic teens who couldn't get a long if their lives depended on it. They couldn't even agree where to camp at night much less who can slay a demon before it kills her. Although she doubted Koga didn't much care what happened to her how did he put it yesterday…'sorry human ass…'

Which had earned himself a smack upside the head from Sesshomaru and then Koga had tried pouncing Sesshomaru and failed and it was just a whole repeat of what went on the two days before every few hours. Though seem now Sesshomaru was attempting to ignore both figures who walked behind him.

With another sigh she imagined herself nice and comfy at a modern Tokyo Japan, no demons chasing or being immature, modern people and food, and her family. Oh how she desired it now more then anything, even though she traveled with two familiar faces they were far from comfy cozy buddies of hers. On queue she ran right smack into the solid back of a certain demon lord with a 'oof' she caught her balance and looked up to him wondering what the heck. He didn't look at her but to the west where the sun was lowering to the earth. Glancing back she saw Koga looking in same direction. "That can't be good…" she heard the wolf mutter beneath his breath. Now Kagome was the only one out of the loop here and she had to wonder what couldn't be good…but if Kouga didn't like it…most likely it wasn't in her best interest to be in the general area currently, but what could she do? Kagome tried using her miko abilities to seek out the same thing her demon comrades were sensing but to no anvil. She glanced between the two once more who remained looking to the western hemisphere like they were in a trance. Although she knew they were keeping their senses on high alert waiting to see if it was coming their way.

She was fixing to speak again to question, but Sesshomaru quickly held a claw hand up in her direction mere inches from her face to keep her silent. He didn't like it one bit this looming demonic aura was fairly large and not far off, he had no intentions on drawing attention to give it a reason to come this direction. He swore he had never had this much trouble in his life with drawing fights to himself…Since the Miko showed up it had been one thing after another. He didn't need this right now, he could feel a headache forming at his temples but what vexed him he couldn't quite pin point the species of the creature which held such a aura. His gaze shifted to the wolf who seemed just as much on edge as himself. With his demonic speed he took a quick side step towards the wolf and tugged him none too gently to discuss the matter with him. Kouga was not too thrilled by the action but kept himself in check since the current situation wasn't the safest thing in the world. Leaning very close to the wolf he began whispering. "We need to make a run for it, this is one creature we should not try to contend with, even though it seems not to be getting any closer we do not need to risk ourselves over it."

The wolf gave a humph at the Inu who stood next too him before hissing back quietly. "I ain't got to listen to you …" Glancing back in the direction of the danger though the wolf some what lost that arrogant demeanor for a moment and decided just this once the Inu mutt might be right , and they should tuck their tails and run. "Heh…fine but don't be barking no more orders at me dog breath." Kouga crossed his arms over his torso and turned in the opposite direction one step from leaving the ones who he traveled with currently. Kagome on the other hand was standing dumb struck first at the speed of Sesshomaru moving too quick to even see the next they were plotting something to where they couldn't hear and to finish it off before she got to even say a word she was suddenly be grabbed a bit harshly and pulled to Sesshomaru. The next thing she knew they were hauling their butts in the a entirely different directions way too quickly for her stomach which felt as if it got left behind.

Only thing she could do is cling to the demon who was packing her around none too gently and it wasn't a comforting feeling at all. Her eyes closed tightly so she wouldn't see the world fly by like being on a rocket car and soon enough they came and she felt her feet place on the ground once more but her footing was none to steady. She glanced around to find that they were in some blanketed forest with hardly any light to illuminate the situation. "Well this is perfect dog boy…" Kouga glanced around briefly surveying the area. Sesshomaru threw a glare at the wolf before looking around himself,, if the wolf wasn't allied with the Inu clan he would have killed the insolent jerk himself forever ago , probably when they first made contact. "Um Sesshomaru-sama …." Kagome said in near a whisper considering she didn't want any more tension between them. "Are we going to stop for the night here?" She asked not really looking at him considering she was tired of moving for the day, whole thing is ridiculous …she just wanted to go home. Suddenly a ruckus was heard in the bushes which caused all their attentions to be brought to it. Taking a step back Kagome got closer to Sesshomaru since she knew he would actually attempt to protect her. Kouga on the other hand made a 'Heh' in his normal arrogant manner and approached said bush with a determination to not be a wuss. With slightly unsteady hand he went to move the bush to discover what hid within but as he inched closer something came out of no where in a flying leap and latched onto his face . As the creature did so Kouga spun around and began cursing and hollering as he began running in near a circle trying to pry the fuzzy looking beast off his face. Kagome and Sesshomaru on the other hand just looked on as the wolf was running wild but looking close you could see the smirk that played the lips of the young Inu lord. Kagome after a moment tried to approach to help pry the odd creature off of his face. " Hold still Kouga ." Kagome finally half caught up with him and began prying on the critter which was latched on to the wolf and it seemed to be like glue , both sets of hands all at once had to give it a hard pull before it gave away and Kagome fell back with a 'oof' onto her back side. Sesshomaru was trying to keep his mask in place but the corners of his mouth were slightly twitching. Kagome held the fuzzy being on her lap now and turned it around to take a look at what caused such a ruckus , it was merely a mini bear looking thing with bright blue eyes and stubby nose with red fur. Though she noticed the claws and few other features which made this little one demonic. Although this was the little one she didn't want to see the adult she quickly stood and placed it back where it had been before turning back to the two demons who were with her . "Um I think we should get out of here, if that's the little one the parents can't be far away." As if on queue a roar was heard and Kagome stiffened . Sesshomaru just raised slender silver brow and Kouga had just been glad the thing was off his head as he continued to rub his face where it had been making sure nothing was missing. This was just turning more into a nightmare every day for her and Kagome knew it as she turned to face their newest issue…a over protective mother demonic bear thing…
