The fight, if it could be called that is over in as little as a couple of paw slaps and snaps of Sesshomaru's fangs. Kagome stifles a yawn and tilts her head back, resting against Satoru. He's so hard. Being pressed against him like this is actually some form of torture. Kagome closes her eyes and tries to center herself, but the imagery of Satoru between her thighs and Sesshomaru whispering in her ears threatens to consume her.

She opens her eyes and frowns, keeping the sigh from passing from her lips. Kami she wants to feel them again, but her body is sore, not quite used to the boldness of Sesshomaru.

"What are you thinking about?" Satoru's voice is low. Dark. He must be thinking the same as her.

"Sesshomaru's knot," she replies plainly. No point in denying it. "You."

His arms tighten around her waist. His breathing harsher than it was just moments ago. "Kagome," Satoru groans. "There's a dead dinosaur on the ground and your mind is in the gutter?"

"We could do it slowly." What does the dinosaur have to do with any of this? It's not as though she is trying to feel him up while they are being chased.

"I—"

Sesshomaru flares his energy. The wind blows harder, reaching them with ease. Kagome huffs and pushes the hair out of her face.

"Alright, Sesshomaru wants us down there." There is a restlessness to Sesshomaru. He must want to get this errand over with.

"Maybe this place has a hot spring nearby that we could camp at," Satoru says, lowering her to the ground. His hands slide down her body before settling on her ass. "Can you sniff one out?"

Sesshomaru narrows his eyes. "A pup could sniff out a hot spring." He flicks his hair back and then turns his attention to the dinosaur. Up close, it is even more massive. Maybe around 43ft in length. She can't make out its face from here, but along the top of its body are these ridges. She wonders how the villagers deal with something as massive as this. Its skin looks tough so a normal arrow wouldn't piece it, and she struggles to picture how Argol would go about taking down such a foe.

Maybe with his other villagers? Like a pack of lions or, well, centaurs. Circle around its legs and try to trip it somehow while some brave soul takes on the task of getting closer to its face. The eyes would be the most sensitive. Better yet, how would Satoru have gone about taking down something like this?

Kagome crosses her arms and pushes her ass back against Satoru. "Not sure how dino meat tastes, but it would be awful to let this go to waste. Can you turn back into your dog form and fly it to the village?"

Sesshomaru sighs. "Why must you insist on staying in that village with that foul, brash one?"

"I'm not trying to stay there." She rolls her eyes. "I'm saying that this is a lot of meat to just let go to waste. We should share some of it, and it's not like we have the time to properly store it or make jerky."

"May as well, since we're going that way," Satoru says, siding with Kagome. He squeezes her ass again, alternating between running his hands over her and squeezing every so often. "I could probably warp it, but..."

"Stop hoarding the priestess." Sesshomaru holds out a hand. The command is loud. Kagome smiles as she uncrosses her arms.

"Sorry, Satoru." Kagome throws a wink over her shoulder before making her way over to Sesshomaru. She takes Sesshomaru's outstretched hand and stares at his markings. Her tongue darts out, swiping across her upper lip in contemplation. "Will you find us a hot spring?" She turns her body and runs a finger down Sesshomaru's chest. His eyes flash red. Kagome swallows, her mouth suddenly dry, but her pussy is wet with desire.

"Kagome," Sesshomaru growls.

"Sorry?"

Sesshomaru's nostrils flare. His jaw clenches. Kagome glances down. A shame his pants are so baggy. Maybe she can just slide her hand—

"This Sesshomaru will kill the brash one if you do not control yourself. Satoru, come here."

"So... we're not fucking?" Satoru asks.

"No." Sesshomaru gives Kagome a look before meeting Satoru's eyes. "For now, we will visit the village and gather the information Kagome wishes to obtain, and then we will find a hot spring. This Sesshomaru knows not how long we will travel today as there are no hot springs close, but this Sesshomaru will find one for you." A cloud forms beneath their feet, stretching until it is under the dinosaur as well.

Satoru looks down and pokes at the cloud with his foot. "Show off," he grumbles.

"This Sesshomaru can drop you, should you wish it."

"Not like I'd fall."

"So mouthy for one that is so weak to his flesh."

"Tch. You're one to talk. Think I didn't see how your eyes flashed red just moments ago?" Satoru leans against the dinosaur with a wry grin on his face.

Is this how these two flirt? Normally she would step in to diffuse the situation, but Kagome opts for observing instead. Their body words are like daggers, but their body language suggests a playfulness. They were roughhousing the first night to work out their differences, or whatever Satoru called it.

"You will learn your place." Sesshomaru tilts his head back with a haughtiness that only a demon lord can pull off. On any other, they would look silly, but on Sesshomaru? That self-assuredness is turning her on. Kagome sucks in a breath. It was easier before, but now? Now she's hyper aware of him.

"Priestess, do you take me for a liar?"

"Huh?" Kagome's brows pull taunt. "I didn't say anything?"

"This Sesshomaru will kill the brash one if he dares to even sniff in your direction. If you wish for him to live, you will halt any fantasies you are conjuring."

Kagome rolls her eyes. "You wouldn't kill Argol because then I'd be sad and wouldn't talk to you."

"We're killing Argol?"

"No!" Kagome smacks her forehead. "You are not as slick as you think you are." Seriously, what is with these two and trying to take out Argol? What did he even do to them? Nothing. Argol has done nothing to them, and they both want his head for no reason. "You can't just go around killing people."

"I'm not." Satoru sticks his bottom lip out. "Argol isn't people."

"The cursed one is correct."

"Oh, don't even," Kagome says aghast. "I will do the talking since you two are so dang bloodthirsty."

"And yet you wish to spare the one that calls themself bloodthirsty?" Sesshomaru intones.

Kagome pinches the bridge of her nose. "Isn't he beneath you? Why so much animosity?" She chances a glance at Satoru in the hopes he will see reason, but his lips are pressed into a firm line and with a sinking heart, the hope Kagome was holding on to falls to the depths.

"He exists. I don't like his face."

"What's wrong with his face?" Kagome asks, exasperated by this point. Satoru is grasping at the straws here for any kind of reason to not like Argol.

"He's ugly to look at."

Kami be with her. Kagome rubs at her eyes and sighs. "Argol isn't ugly. He's attractive."

"His face offends this Sesshomaru, as well as the stink that clings to him like that of an unruly boar in a whorehouse who does nothing but defecate on themselves and those around them."

Kagome drops her hand from her face. She has no words. It's clear, painfully so, these two abhor poor Argol, who has done nothing to them. She looks down at the trees below, since looking at Sesshomaru or Satoru is too dangerous. They can't be jealous of Argol? It's not like she wants the centaur.

Sesshomaru lands right outside of the village. The cloud fades away and Kagome's feet are on the ground once more.

"CHOSEN ONE!"

Kagome plasters a smile on her face and pushes past Satoru and Sesshomaru to the front. "Kagome, remember? I'm not the chosen one."

Argol bows his head. "Sorry, Chose—Kagome. I see you have fought the mighty beast." He motions to the dinosaur with his spear. "Of course, one such as you could take down such a ferocious creature."

"It was Sesshomaru, actually."

Argol stares. "You did not need to bring us such a gift, for you are welcome here anytime."

"This isn't even your fucking village," Satoru says. "This is the goblin's village."

Argol blinks. "This... human dares to speak to me like this?" He snorts. "Kagome, with your command, I will take care of these dead weights. Simply say the word and it will be done."

"Stop!" Kagome holds out her hands, pinning Satoru and Sesshomaru with a look. "No one is fighting. Argol, you need to apologize. I am human, like Satoru."

Argol's upper lip curls back. "Apologies human. Forgive me for not understanding that you are a simply a charity case for the great Kagome. I see you are blind and, thus, inferior. It is amazing that one such as you have survived all this time, but nonetheless, you have my condolences for your weakness. Fear not, Kagome. I, Argol, will take it upon myself to see that these dead weights are more than capable warriors. And if all else fails, the blind one can throw himself into the path of destruction should you need someone to sacrifice."

Kagome's mouth pops open. Why would he say that? That's not an apology.

A flash of green flickers past and Argol's screams draw the attention of the others.

"Sesshomaru," Kagome whispers harshly.

"He dared to speak ill of one that belongs to this Sesshomaru."

"Belong?"

"Surely you are not daft, cursed one. We have been over this. You belong to this Sesshomaru."

"Now wait, when you said—"

"What impression gave you that this was up for debate?"

Kagome throws one more look at Argol, who lies on the ground. He's breathing, at least. Sesshomaru could have loped off Argol's head if he wanted to and... well, Argol would have deserved it. She crosses her arms. "So, you have claimed Satoru then?"

Sesshomaru raises a brow.

"Very well," Kagome says, nodding her head. "Then, in that case, Satoru, you have permission to fall in love with me." She winks at him.

"Oho?" Satoru chuckles. "Thank you for giving me permission to do so." He sweeps his leg behind him as he bows. "Kagome-sama."

Kagome-sama? She doesn't care for titles all that much, but something about the way it rolls off Satoru's tongue gives her some thought.

"Argol, if you are alive, then get up. We came to share some of this meat with everyone since we couldn't possibly eat all of it."

Ebeelx walks forward and holds out a hand for Argol to take. "We thank you for thinking of us. You bless us when we have done nothing for you."

"Well, there is something we want," Kagome says. "Nothing crazy. Just some information about this place."

"This place?" Ebeelx asks. "This region, my lady? I'm fraid I do not know of the riddles you speak."

"You sure you want to do this?" Satoru asks, his voice low. Kagome shivers. He's so close, she can feel the heat of him.

"It'll be fine," she tells him before directing her attention back to the villagers. "We aren't from him, Ebeelx. We don't know anything about this world, so any information that you could share would be of help."

Ebeelx nods slowly as though to digest the information laid bare. "It will take some time to gather all that I know and put it into some form of writing for you. Please rest here—"

"You will complete it within the hour," Sesshomaru says. "This Sesshomaru is not staying in this village another day."

Another day? They haven't even spent a night here. Kagome smiles brighter. A little more forced. "We want to travel as quickly as we can before night falls."

"Oh..." Ebeelx looks down and then back to Kagome. "Very well. Everyone, you have heard the Chosen One, we must make haste!"

Argol rubs at the scar across his face and winces. When it heals completely, it'll be a gnarly scar for sure. Blood still drips from where Sesshomaru's whip hit him. "I and the other centaurs will work on cutting the meat." He glares at Sesshomaru and then turns his head as if to dismiss Sesshomaru. "My lady, should you need of me, I will never hesitate to run to your side."

"I... thank you Argol. For now, I simply wish for the dinosaur to be processed." Dinosaur and processed, two words she never thought she would ever say together, but here she is. "Ebeelx, we will be back in about an hour or so."

"Oh? You do not wish to wait inside my hut?"

"Nope, we'll be back. Need to burn off some steam. You know how it is." Kagome turns and grabs Sesshomaru's hand and then Satoru's. "Don't come looking for us. We'll be right back."

A/N: I swear my kid has been sick like every day this month. We have been to the doctor once a week and we will be going back to the doctor on Monday. Apologies in advance if an update is late, it's been a month lol.

"Need a Satoru pov smut" - We'll get one from all of their POVs.

"Are they implying Satoru would happily follow them to their world?" - I don't think Sesshomaru is giving Satoru an option lolol

Have a wonderful week and holiday if you celebrate! Get plenty of rest and make sure to stay hydrated. Sidenote, I'm having the hardest time with getting this trio to do anything. They clearly do not want to go back to their worlds lol.
