The next couple of days were uneventful. Not one rumor of a jewel shard, much less not even getting lucky to come across a demon just like that with a jewel shard. Then during the next week Koga came to see, isn't it obvious, 'his woman' but got a big surprise and Inuyasha just couldn't wait to see what would happen.
"I sense two jewel shards...and their approaching fast," Kagome said.
"Is that a tornado, Miroku?" Sango asked, everyone was still clueless about them being engaged but Sango planned to tell Kagome the moment the two would be alone tomorrow.
"Hey Koga its so good to see you again good buddy," Inuyasha said happily. Everyone who knew the relationship between him and Koga looked at him like he was crazy but waited for what Koga had to say.
"So muttface, does that mean you've finally decided to leave me and my Kagome alone to live happily together?!" Koga responded thinking that he gave up because of the buddy remark.
But after Sesshomaru heard Koga say 'my Kagome', a deep but low growl could be heard coming from him. But Koga disregarded it while Inuyasha spoke.
"No but I thought we should be friends now ya mangie wolf," 'mangie wolf' wasn't as harsh as it normally would have been.
"Whatever. So Kagome how have you been lately beautiful," Koga said.
"Grrr, listen here wolf, she's not your woman nor will she ever be, and don't touch her so let go of her waist," Sesshomaru said in the calmest voice he could muster. Although his voice sounded calm his eyes were red, the stripes on his cheeks were now jagged, and his claws began dripping poison. Everyone around them took three large steps backwards except Inuyasha, Koga, and Kagome.
"What the hell is his problem," Koga asked.
"Koga you better listen to him," Inuyasha warned.
Koga: "What for when he's telling me to move away from my woman."
Sess: "She is not your woman, I love Kagome and she is mine, sorry my love I don't mean to make you sound like a possession."
Kags: "Its okay...um...Koga can you let go of me now...thank you."
Koga: "Listen Lord Sesshomaru, Kagome is mine and I love her."
Sess: "No you don't. I love her thats why Kagome isn't with Inuyasha and that's why he gave up because she is with me."
Koga, shocked by his words, didn't know what to say or do. All he could do was turn to Inuyasha with questioning eyes and then to Kagome, both who just nodded. Koga was stunned and heart broken. The silence lasted a while and then Sesshomaru broke the silence.
Sess: "I am going to the hot springs I need to cool down."
Kags: "Well Sessho wait for me I want to talk to you."
"You won't take a dip with me?" Sesshomaru said smirking in a perverted way that obviously made Kagome blush a deep crimson.
"Uuh...no...I-uh...I'm going to take a dip with Sango, she said she wants to talk to me about something." Kagome said, Sesshomaru looked disappointed but accepted her answer.
So the two left for the hot springs. Sango sent Kilala to keep her company, while she spoke to Sesshomaru and she said that she would watch Shippo for her until she got back.
At the Springs
"Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Hmm?" she asked helping him take off his armor and his clothes.
"I think...we should get married soon. Before...before we kill Naraku."
"Why? I mean I do want to marry you but why so soon, Sess?"
"Kagome I love you more than life itself. You, my angel have changed me and now I only wish to be with you and I don't want to risk losing the one thing that I love. If we mate and get married then you and I will be connected so we will know how each other feels and when one of us is in danger."
Kagome was truly touched by his words and she knew that their love was pure and real. Plus she had to agree, if she was somehow in danger, he could save her. What else could she do except to accept his offer.
Sesshomaru waited patiently for her answer knowing that she needed to have the chance to think about what he just said and knowing that he didn't want to lose her.
"Of course, when will we have the wedding?" Kagome replied happily.
When she said that Sesshomaru pulled her into a hug holding her tightly against his naked body. When Kagome hugged him in return she remembered that he wasn't wearing anything. She gently pulled apart and 'accidentally' looked down. But when what she saw was his southern region she blushed. Sesshomaru saw this and an evil grin crossed his usually expressionless face. He decided he would offer her another chance to join him.
"My love are you sure that you don't want to come in with me?" he asked innocently. Kagome took a good look at his face and she was about to accept when she noticed the lecherous gleam in his eyes.
"N-no its okay...um...I have to talk to Sango remember." 'That was close, good thing Sango asked me to join her,' Kagome thought.
"Meow," Kilala reminded them of her being present.
"Oh yeah...um thanks Kilala...see even Kilala is reminding us of my promise to Sango," Kagome stated a bit nervously.
"Okay but tomorrow your promising me you'll be taking a bath with me?" he asked her.
"Um...okay..." she stated slowly, unsure of what she just got herself into.
"Good, now I can almost imagine the fun we'll have..." he trailed off which got Kagome regretting her new promise to bath with him tomorrow.
