As your love flies, only time.

The waves crashed as the sun set on another day.

Kouga and Sesshomaru stood on the dunes and watched as Kagome and Ayame played in the waves.

Both demons would never admit, but they both enjoyed the sound of the waves and the calm that the tide brought in.

"Wolf,"

"What?"

"Why did my brother allow the Miko to dress in such a state when they traveled?"

Sesshomaru found it puzzling to him. The Miko always dressed in ways that didn't make sense to him, and for a long time, he paid no mind to it, but the latest outfit change had him raising his eyebrows.

Kouga laughed, "Inuyasha didn't have a say, just like I didnt."

"He was alpha, was he not?"

"She didnt care about that, plus, if you haven't noticed Kagome is an alpha female Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru looked back as Kagome laughed as she and Kouga's mate jumped over another big wave. True the Miko was indeed an alpha female, but even still he could not believe Inuyasha would allow her to wear something so, little.

"He had an issue with you trying to claim her."

Kouga cracked a smile "Yeah, fun times if I wasn't mated Id still try to bed her."

There was silence between them for a moment, and Kagome waved at them "Kouga, big brother!"

Kouga rolled his eyes, and Sesshomaru snorted at her nickname for him.

"Inuyasha used to say she ain't pretty, ain't no one gonna look," Kouga stated while waving at the females.

"I knew he was deaf and dumb; I was not aware he was also blind."

Kouga turned and looked at him "Are you saying you find her attractive?"

Sesshomaru slowly gazed back down at Kouga "She is a prime female for a human, if I were human or half breed I should think to claim her."

Kouga's jaw hit the ground, "What!" Perhaps his mate had been on to something.

Sesshomaru looked up at the females again, "Had she been of demon blood; I would have claimed her at first sight."

Both females made their way back up. Kagome was wearing a 'swimsuit,' and Kouga's mate's skirt was short enough she didnt need one.
Kagome was an alpha female with no alpha male, which explained a lot actually. Sesshomaru tilted his head slightly, "Your state of dress keeps lacking Miko."

Kagome blushed and looked down, "Um."

Words failed her, but Kouga saved the day "Dont let him fool ya, he just admitted that if he were human, he would want to marry you!" Kouga laughed,

Kagome blushed harder, and her eyes met Sesshomaru's, "I dont know about that."

"Pdf, had you been a demon the bastard would have mated you the first time he laid eyes on you, but since your human, he tried to kill you instead," He laughed "Inuyasha is rolling in his grave I just know it."

What worried Kagome was Sesshomaru made no move to correct him.

"I have no idea how to react to that?" Say thank you or gee thanks? She wasn't sure if it was an insult or not. "And dont talk ill of the dead Kouga!" Kagome snapped.
The wolf ran with his tail between his legs like ways when he came to her.

She was, indeed an alpha female.

"Miko"

She wrapped a towel around her "Yes."

"Why did you and the half breed not choose you?"

She blinked "I guess there can't be two alpha's" She really didnt know how to respond to that. Nor did she really want to.

"Only a mated pair, an alpha male needs an alpha female."

Kagome sighed, "It was a long time ago, Sesshomaru, and his heart was with Kikyo you now this."

She began to walk back, he followed.

"Plus I am not the submitting kind if you have noticed."

"Hn, some may find that to be a thrilling challenge, Miko."

"Why are we talking about my love life today?" They were in the middle of war planning, after all.

"Love flies on time miko you do not have a lot of it."

Kagome stopped, "Are you trying to mate me off, so you dont have to deal with me, ya didn't have to lick me, you know."

Sesshomaru stood stunned then he leaned down a licked her again and with his face close, he spoke: "I am your alpha, for now, Miko till you find a male who can tame you."

She blushed "I'm not sure I can be tamed," She said with a shudder,

"Do not be a fool Miko; every female wants to be dominated by male at some point."

Kagome was suffocating under his aura suddenly; she pointed to a tree "I'm gonna go change."

She ran. Her heart pounded in her ears, his word rang in her ears, true and strong and at that moment it felt as he was trying to cover her whole body with his aura and what was worse is she liked the warmth of it.

He could do it, dominate her, tame her, he was the only alpha male strong enough to do it which left mate prospect for her low.
