Kilala was flying in the opposite direction, her speed moderate. Seshoumaru held onto the human girl with all his might. He was not scared of heights. Wary of them, was more like it.

Kagome's scent was laced with nervousness and he scrunched his nose. Pulling away from her, he patted her cheeks to gain her attention. When he got it, he told her in his innocent childish manner, in a serious voice, "Don't worry. I shall protect you."

She stared at him and her face softened, a hint of a smile showing.

"It's my job to protect you, Seshoumaru. Not the other way around."

He thrusted hi chin out stubbornly, "No. This Seshoumaru will always protect you."

He looked so adorable and so very fiercely protective, that in that very instant, Kagome fell in love with the little inu child.

She kissed him on his forehead and he nuzzled her neck, showing her affection in the way of the inu.

I hope everything goes well on their side.

Kagome closed her eyes and breathed in the unique scent that was Seshoumaru, and sighed. Her companions were all alone at the mercy of the taiyoukai of the West. She frowned. Surely Seshoumaru wouldn't kill them.

Suddenly Kilala's fur stood on end, and she hissed, increasing her speed. Kagome's face paled as she understood.

He's coming after us!

Her mind was in utter chaos as she panicked. What was she to do now!

The boy seemed to have caught on her anxiety and let out his own whine of distress. Her eyes fell on his markings. What if she were to -?

Without asking for his permission, she grabbed onto him, and leaned her forehead against his. AT first, he stiffened, then relaxed in her hold. He trusted her. She wouldn't harm him.

His body felt a little uncomfortable and tingly, as he felt something strange happen. A few seconds later, Kagome pulled away from him, and looked at him carefully. His markings were gone, changed, to be more exact. Instead of magenta, his stripes were pale blue, and his crescent had disappeared. He looked completely different. However, she couldn't get rid of his silver hair, and golden eyes. Those had to be chanced with.

Kilala stopped in her tracks and Kagome expanded her aura, searching for Seshoumaru. There was nothing.

Her voice was soft, and hesitant, "Kilala?"

Before, she could speak further, a silky voice murmured in her ear, "Are you trying to escape, miko?"

Kagome paled, and clutched onto the young inuyoukai, trying to hide his face. Seshoumaru spared a glance at the small silver headed inuyoukai and barked a command.

Kilala hissed threateningly, and Seshoumaru snarled. The big fire cat started descending slowly, but she didn't seem too happy about it. As soon as they landed, the cloud beneath Seshoumaru's feet disappeared and he landed gracefully on his feet.

He stared at the girl in front of him. She had her arms around the child, hiding his face. Getting off the neko youkai, she gave him a defiant look which made him narrow his golden eyes at her.

"You have in your company, an inuyoukai pup."

His voice was flat, not revealing any emotions. However, his eyes widened fractionally, when Kagome bared her teeth at him. She was acting like an Inu bitch, protecting her pups. He had the feeling that even she was not fully aware of her actions. Her arms pulled the pup more securely to her and Seshoumaru's sensitive hearing caught the sounds of soft whimpering and faint growls. He felt some amusement. The pup was trying to protect the miko.

"What's it to you, Seshoumaru?"

He looked at her silently for a minute, and then, "I will see this pup."

Before Kagome could say anything, the pup in her arms, released her hand, and turned to face his future version.

Seshoumaru's eyes widened.

A.N: I'm sorry this is short, but I'm too tired to write more. Will update soon.
