Heart of Tensaiga
Koga's Threatening Retreat
Koga touched the side of his face where she had slapped him and growled a bit, "So what? Now you're defending him? Kagome what makes you think you can trust him?"
Kagome straightened her posture and nodded her head, "Lord Sesshomaru saved my life. If he wanted me dead Koga all he would have had to do was leave my body in the forest."
Koga glanced at the demon lord who still had a hand on the hilt of his sword, ready for any bad reaction from him. He paced in his agitation as he really did not want to accept her traveling with Sesshomaru of all demons. Running a clawed hand through his hair, he relented, "This is what you really want to do Kagome?"
Kagome, realizing he had finally come to his senses, sighed with relief before replying, "Yes, Koga. I will travel with Lord Sesshomaru. You have a pack to worry about yourself and they are probably lost without you."
It took a few more moments before realizing why she did not want to leave Sesshomaru's side. Sesshomaru would see it as her saying the lord's protection was not worth having, he would be insulted. One thing he knew about his Kagome was that she would not want to hurt any creature if it could be avoided. So he hugged her and while she could not see simply said, "I will be back, Kagome."
Sesshomaru released his sword but continued to glare at the departing wolf prince.
