Hehe that last chapter felt good and short. I'm used to pushing myself to writing more so my chapters aren't pathetically short but now I'm trying to limit my words! Teehee, 'tis a weird feeling…\

Chapter 2: Alpha Miko!

Kagome was glad that Inuyasha was currently away and in that time the groups luck skyrocketed and they ran into Sesshomaru. They have been planning to approach Sesshomaru with the idea of merging groups, but knew they had to accomplish this when Inuyasha went on one of those sudden disappearance trips. The gang knew where he was off two because they would either see the soul stealers taunting Inuyasha to follow, or they would sense Kikyo's presents, though nobody would say anything. They knew that it hurt Kagome because she was still hopelessly in love with the idiot, but every time they gave her pity she would tell them not to worry and that it didn't bother her.

If Kagome hated anything, which was pretty hard for her because she was a pretty loving person and that's why she chose to dislike things, it was pity. She wasn't some weak minded little girl, she could handle herself. She wasn't strong physically but that was about to change thanks to their newly added group member. She just wasn't sure what to tell Inuyasha when he came back from his lovely meeting with his clay pot. What was she going to say? What would Inuyasha do?

Just as the thoughts finished Inuyasha came sprinting in the clearing with his sword drawn. His appearance was disheveled and Kagome knew why. God, what did Kikyo have that she didn't? She was after all her reincarnation, but she guessed that she didn't want to be seen by Inuyasha just because she was Kikyo's reincarnation. That was actually a pretty low thought of her… That really didn't matter now. She had more important things to deal with, like the fight that was about to spark between the two brothers and allies.

"Inuyasha sit!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha slammed into the ground. He immediately jumped back up.

"What the hell bitch?! Why did you do that, this is Sesshomaru?!" Inuyasha yelled to Kagome a disbelieving look on his face.

"Because Inuyasha, he is our newest member of the group and you can't attack allies." She said, her previous worries forgotten. He would have to deal with the fact that his brother was joining them.

"The hell he is!" Inuyasha screamed stomping up to stand in front of her face.

"Inuyasha if you don't like it you're going to have to suck it up because he is joining and that's final!" Kagome yelled right back putting her face in his so that they were nose and nose glaring. Kagome had a glint in her eye that Inuyasha knew all too well. That was her 'I will sit you until I get my way' look. Very, very reluctantly Inuyasha caved in.

"Feh, fine but if that bastard does anything suspicious I'll kill him!" Inuyasha said loud and clear for everyone to hear. Kagome immediately smiled and was back to her bubbly self.

"Thanks Yasha!" Kagome said using the nickname she'd given him and only used when she was pleased with him. "Oh, and one more thing." She said causing him to stop and turn around.

"What now?"

"I'm going home for a couple of days."

"No! No way, we have to look for the shards!" He screamed. The evil Kagome was back and was giving him 'the look' again. "Nope that's not going to work this time. You are staying."

"Sit." They all heard Inuyasha's yelp.

"We are really close to the well and I need to stock up on food and supplies, plus its getting way too hot for the clothes that I have on and I'm not happy when I'm hot! Do you know what that means? Grumpy Kagome and you don't want to meet her." She said glaring down at him on the ground. He hadn't even gotten back up knowing that he would probably get sat again until he gave in. 'Stupid wench.' He thought.

"Fine, but you only have three days! No more and no less, then we are back to searching for shards. You better pack a lot because I don't plan on stopping for a while." He said finally dragging himself up. Kagome squealed.

"Thanks Yasha!" She said, once again pleased with him. He just stalked by her and hopped up into a tree to sulk while they set up camp. It was getting pretty dark and everyone was tired. They had a pretty tiring fight this morning and then Inuyasha went off to see the clay bitch. Kagome, although saddened by that thought, shrugged her shoulders and told herself that she needed to be strong.

Meanwhile Sesshomaru walked over to the tree Inuyasha was pouting in.

"So you let the Alpha Female dominate the Alpha Male of your pack? Pathetic." He said and turned on his heel to leave and round up his pack.

"Feh, you try having subjugation beads around your neck! She gets pretty friggen' vicious when she wants something." He mumbled that last part so only he could hear. Sesshomaru just made a 'hn' sound and continued on through the tree line of the clearing.
