The Taming of the Miko

by Priss-hanyo

Kōga watched as the Inu no Taishō stared at him waiting, impassive. 'What was he waiting for?' Realization dawn, "I'm Kōga prince of the Eastern Wolf Tribe, Lord." He supplied.

"Hn." So the pup did get the message. 'Good.' "You will not share this information." The last thing he needed was for the village to get wind of his presence. He could already envision the chaos of those coming to beg for an audience with him. There was a reason he escaped court when he could.

"Yes . . .?" Kōga paused not sure what to call him. "What shall I call you?"

It was not a name that his subjects knew and usually only those close to him, family, but it would have to do for now. "Toga for now will do."

"Yes- Toga." He felt uncomfortable calling the Inu no Taishō by such a familiarity but did as was told. "If you wish my Lord-" he heard a low growl and corrected himself "Toga. If you will, I will lay down Lady Kagome and we shall search out her father."

The Inu nodded his head in acceptance as he followed the ookami keeping a wary eye on the wolf's hands.
