Chapter 3: Which One?

When everything was all set and ready for the night, Sesshomaru walked back into the clearing with his pack. Rin came running over to Kagome, excited as always to see the young Priestess.

"Kagome-sama!" Rin yelled barreling into the girls arms.

"Hi, Rin-chan! How have you been?" Kagome asked.

"Rin has been well, how have you been Kagome-sama?" Kagome smiled. Rin was so cute.

"I've been good. How about you go play with Shippo, I know he is excited that you are joining the pack."

"Okay!" Rin ran over to Shippo and they quickly started a game of tag. Kagome watched them with a soft smile. She thought of them like her children and loved them both so much, but she wanted to know what it was like to have children of her own. Pushing those depressing thoughts away she rolled out her sleeping bag and sat on it while waiting for the water to heat up for their daily dinner of ramen.

When it was finished she called the kids over to eat and then go to bed. Soon after everyone was finished Kagome and Shippo lied down and Rin asked if she could join them.

"Of course you can Rin!" Kagome said opening her arms for Rin to snuggle into. Kagome was glad she was going back to her time because it was getting WAY too hot for her heavy duty sleeping bag. She would have to grab her lighter one. When everyone drifted off to sleep, Inuyasha quietly got off his tree and started to slip into the forest, but the voice of his brother stopped him.

"Going to see the undead priestess?" Sesshomaru asked with disgust clearly in his tone.

"Shuddup ya bastard!" Inuyasha grumbled. Sesshomaru opened his eyes and glared at his half-brother.

"What about the other miko? She loves you and you know it." He said.

"What do you care? It's none of your business Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha said a little louder.

"The miko and her friends are now a part of this Sesshomaru's pack. A good pack Alpha takes care of its members, instead of hurting them and running off to go and play with the dead." He said emotionlessly.

"Whatever Sesshomaru." Inuyasha started walking away but once again his brother's voice stopped him.

"Should you leave now you choose the undead Miko. If you stay you choose the alive one. Pick wisely little brother, because should you pick the dead one, you will tell the other of your decision." He said leaving no room for arguments.

"Feh," Inuyasha went into the forest to see Kikyo anyways leaving Sesshomaru to be disappointed in his actions. He hated his half-brother and has always been disappointed in his actions, but his was by far the worst decision he had ever made. The dead miko was only trying to kill him and take advantage of him.

As Sesshomaru thought about this he looked over to the sleeping miko. He couldn't see why his idiotic brother chose the dead one. The miko 15 feet from him was by far more beautiful and had a better personality. The dead one was cold and emotionless but this miko was warm and could make you want to play all the time. Even though Sesshomaru hated humans he couldn't deny his attraction to her. She was truly different from all other humans and he was going to see why. He was going to take full advantage of this pack blending and unravel the enigma that was Kagome Higurashi.

His brother would realize his mistake after it's too late and the damage has been done. He would see the betrayal Kikyo would do, and it made him happy to know that Inuyasha would suffer from his moronic actions. Sesshomaru drifted into sleep slightly with a smug feeling in his chest. He would take the other miko away from the Hanayo, but all he needed to do was figure out how…
