Kagome woke up feeling ten times better after meeting Sesshomaru the night before. She didn't know if he did it intentionally or it was just fate bringing them to meet again. But she wasn't in the mood to object to any of it she was glad he came like an unspoken wish had come true. She spent her morning in a good mood and didn't hide it from anyone she had a smile brighter than the sun and offered to clean up the mess from the night before. As she packed her gear but everything seemed slow she hated to admit she was anticipating meeting him again it only fueled this feeling of time slowing down everything felt like it was taking longer than usually.

Inuyasha wasn't sure what it was but kagome was acting different she always had a good mood but today she was acting funny to him and he was going to make sure he found out why. He made sure not to get in her face again kagome had got lose with sitting him it started to hurt more than usual. He kept an eye on her as she did everything and when she left the group to do things he made sure to keep a distance but a heavy eye on every place she went. Inuyasha hated to admit he had this odd feeling and the night she came smelling like his brother only made him more curious and think thoughts in his head.

Back in the south border

Koga had gotten word on the death of his wolves and was beyond pissed at the news and was in a matter of seconds. This was a matter he would deal with himself, it was also an excuse to see his kagome she belonged to him she just had not yet realized it. As he stopped just in front of him laid the bodies of the wolves it only fueled his anger the smell was familiar but different it reminded him of inuyasha. ''was it possible that stupid runt did this'' at with that he was gone after inuyasha and kagome.

Kagome picked up the flowers and smelled them it reminded her of that night. She hadn't really spoken to anyone during the day not much to say everyone did their own thing she did the same. Kagome randomly looked around and finally noticed inuyasha she couldn't shake this feeling he was keeping tabs on her she had tried to ignore it but he wasn't really good at hiding it. As they reached the bend of a trail there was a large gust of wind and dirt headed towards them and with the inuyasha jumped in front the group and drew Tetsusaiga. Kagome was more than sure it was koga and from there it would be a back and forth verbal battle between inuyasha and koga .kagome thought about it and lost track of the many marriage proposals koga has given her I guess he was back for one million and one.

Koga didn't spare his usual greetings or proposal to kagome he had charged at inuyasha ready for battle. Kagome had barely managed to get between them stop it from happening. Koga was acting hysterical yelling and cursing every word he knew at inuyasha he demanded revenge. Inuyasha wasn't sure what the wolfs was doing here but didn't know what the hell was his problem was, he wasn't making any sense. Inuyasha wasn't in the mood to argue but words meant nothing actions spoke clear as day and kept his sword up high. Kagome turned her focus on koga and asked him what his problem was. Koga just registered kagome was in front of him and proceed to lose focus of inuyasha for a moment and asked how his woman was. Kagome was mildly shocked he went from being battle ready to Mr. suave in minutes. Kagome ignored his flirts and asked him again what his problem was and from there koga explain the deaths of his wolves and the somewhat familiar scent of inuyasha ad from there he yelled out some obscenity's at inuyasha.

Kagome thought about it and realized by his saying of somewhat smell of inuyasha it was possibly Sesshomaru but wasn't sure why he would kill the wolves… unless they had attacked him. It finally took a while for inuyasha to register what koga said he had mention a somewhat smell of him "SESSHOMARU'' inuyasha jumped up to the trees and tried best to calm himself down

Inuyasha Pov = keh that stupid wolf has the nerve to mistake Sesshomaru stink with mine what an idiot and he calls himself a wolf. What the hell is going on kagome comes smelling of my brother koga thinks I killed some mange wolfs.

Kagome had gotten koga to calm down she explained it couldn't have been inuyasha she just wasn't ready to toss Sesshomaru under the bus. As kagome thought about it she was taken from her thoughts koga had grabbed her hand he managed to ask for her hand in marriage and come with him before she turned him down. Kagome didn't know how many times or way she could turn him down but he kept at it from there koga turned his subject back to the wolves he took kagomes word it wasn't inuyasha but he refused to let the matter die he would get to the bottom of it. It was still light but the gang had made camp, kagome was amazed koga was still around and made no hint of leaving anytime soon this was a problem for her especially with her plans for tonight it was bad enough trying to get away with inuyasha but them both she hated to but she would need Sango's help she had tried to keep it from everyone last thing she needed was to be judged or given more non necessary opinions.

Kagome grabbed Sango's hand and pulled her away from everyone and a good distance from inuyasha or koga's hearing she explained meeting him the previous night and his promise to see her again. Sango took it pretty well she was little confused but found it somewhat oddly romantic for him to make a promise to see her. Sango wasn't sure how she could keep both of the guys busy but she would just have to make something up. They were walking back both smiles on hand. She reached the group she was swept in arms of koga, this was going to be hard if he kept this up. The sun began to set but it still felt like time was slow the moon was known were near high.

As everyone got comfortable and the fire burning sango got up and with that informed the group of her and kagome heading to a local spring together followed by miroku offering them some company. Sango knew he would offer and slapped him good across the face. Kagome gathers her things for the spring. Kagome and sango sat around talking the moon was halfway there sango stood up and told kagome she was headed for a walk she couldn't return without kagome it would cause many questions and have them come after her. Sango smiled at kagome and told her good luck. Kagome collected a few pebble and proceeded to toss the in the spring and was greeted with a frog jumping towards her kagome remember why she was hear and felt anticipation hit her she felt like her heart was coming out of her chest she wasn't sure why she was nervous but she was.

Sesshomaru had spent his day walking random trails she was on his mind and tonight he would see her again. As the sun set he made his way in her direction and would hope she would be there waiting for him. He had landed a small distance from the spring her smell was intoxicating he didn't like admitting she was on his mind all day and waited for the sun to set but that was fact he couldn't deny. He casually walked into the view of the spring and managed to not attract kagomes attention. He silently stalked around her he had got within a few feet when kagome laid her eyes on him.

Back at camp

Koga knew kagome was in the spring but he felt this was the time he could talk with kagome and not have inuyasha pry into their private matters he figured with more time alone she would finally give in he stood up and was greeted with inuyasha in his face asking where he was going. '' it's none of your business inuyasha but I'm hungry unless you would like to escort me like a good girl'' koga placidly snorted out, inuyasha simply ignored his answer and went to the tree ledge. And from there koga was off to kagome.

Back at the spring

Kagome had sat down by the spring and Sesshomaru followed suite they talked about each others day she had spent some time during the day thinking of questions to ask him she started by asking his age and was surprised to know he was 500 yet didn't look any older than 20. She couldn't hold back the smile on her face when she asked to touch his hair she was ready for him to refuse but he replied with a yes she was hesitant as first but found it addicting his hair felt so soft and silky she kept playing with it and even managed to place a wild flower only to receive an odd glare from him. As she entwined a few locks of his hair she was brought out of her thoughts at Sesshomaru standing up. He gave her a stern look and told her of an impending meet with a wolf demon. Kagomes mouth dropped she wasn't in the mood to deal with koga or the reaction she would get in koga finding her alone with Sesshomaru and not sango. She thought of what actions to take and knew she had no time to run and she stood her ground and patiently waited for koga to come into view.

Koga ran into the springs and quickly swept kagome in his arms but was cut short when he felt a clawed hand grasp at his shoulder and fling him in the opposite direction he turned ready to fight inuyasha but was greeted by non-other than Sesshomaru. It finally hit koga that smell it was Sesshomaru who killed his wolf then his eyes flung open realizing Sesshomaru was alone at the springs with kagome. Koga finally spoke out loud ''WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON''… ''you killed my wolfs and now your with my women'' and with the sesshomaru's eyes grew red he couldn't hold back the growl emanating from his chest the nerve of the wolf to think of calling his kagome his own. Kagome wasn't sure why Sesshomaru was getting angry till she realized koga kept insinuating she was his women. This was beyond award for her but did her best to stay cool. Kagome stood in front of Sesshomaru she delicately placed her hands on his chest pleading with him to calm down.

Sesshomaru took his eyes off the wolf and focused on kagome in front of him he was still angry at him but felt his control slowly return. Kagome stayed in the spot she was at but turned around to face koga from there she asked for him to leave she wasn't in the mood to deal with him or have to explain any of this to him she had enough of inuyasha to add koga in the mix this felt like an odd triangle she didn't know what to say. Koga stood his ground he wanted his answers about kagome the wolves and Sesshomaru he slowly paced towards kagome only to be met by the light growl of Sesshomaru, kagome had managed to place her hand against his giving him a firm squeeze . Kagome ignore koga's advances and turned to look in sesshomaru's eyes and with that she gave him a silent plead ''please ignore him leave well meet tomorrow night just you and me. Sesshomaru heard her request but was not in the mood to give into her request only to reply out loud '' I won't leave you alone with the filthy wolf'' koga was pissed he began his rants walking closer. Sesshomaru had enough he looked at kagome placing his hands on her waist from there he took to the sky ''SESSHOMARUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"…..
