A/N: This chapter is shorter than I normally like to post, but I wanted to get it out for all my faithful readers.
Chapter 9: Canine Nature
Sesshoumaru continued on his way down the hall, making a quick stop at his study before he went to meet with Kouga and his tribe. As he neared the front gates where the wolves were gathered, Sesshoumaru squashed the urge to cover his nose to protect his sensitive senses from the nearly overpowering stench of dirt and death. Strengthening his resolve, he turned a corner and was greeted with the sight of a couple hundred wolf youkai, all down on one knee, heads bowed.
�Sesshoumaru-sama, we greatly appreciate your hospitality,� Kouga greeted on behalf of his tribe, and parts of several other tribes that had come with the request of joining his tribe.
�But?� Sesshoumaru asked, sensing there was more that the wolf prince was not saying.
�But,� Kouga replied, a slight smirk twitching up the corners of his mouth, �we would be happier outdoors with a simple cave to protect us from the elements.�
Sesshoumaru nodded once. That can be arranged,� he told the wolf leader. �I will have a servant show you to a suitable place for you to stay. There is plenty of fresh water and game, and my servant will stay with you in case you are in need of anything else,� he explained, watching the happy expressions appear on the faces of the tribe. �Kouga, I expect you to join me for dinner this evening,� Sesshoumaru added as he turned and headed back inside his home.

Inuyasha growled at Miroku, having long ago gotten fed up with the monk�s inability to pinpoint Kagome�s location. Whoever had taken her had made sure they covered their tracks well. He knew it couldn�t be that wimpy wolf because he would have some big flashy display of taking her. And they still had no clue where Naraku was hiding, but he would have taunted the shard hunters as well.
Pacing about the clearing they had stopped in for Miroku to try and get a direction for them to travel in again, Inuyasha scented the air in hopes of finding any wisp of Kagome�s scent that he might be able to follow. A growl rumbled deep in his throat as his nose picked up not the scent he�d been hoping for, but Sesshoumaru�s scent surrounding them. Which could only mean that the small group was now is ols older half-brother�s lands.
Grabbing the monk and runt by their collars, Inuyasha tossed the two on his back. �Kirara, try to keep up,� he growled as he passed the fire cat youkai at a run, offering no other explanation to his travelling companions for his actions.
~*~
Sesshoumaru sent a female wolf youkai out to show the tribe out to a large cave that was on the edge of his personal property. The entrance to the cave was hidden behind a waterfall, so they would be relatively undisturbed, and there was a large pond that several animals came to on a daily basis to drink from, so there would be plenty of food for the tribe. And he knew his servant would keep them all in line.
Feeling a slight tug at his heart, Sesshoumaru turned down a hall and headed towards the room he and his mate shared. He just hoped he didn�t find her crying again. Youkai males just were not taught how to deal with a crying female. Youkai females didn�t cry.
Sesshoumaru reached the door and paused long enough to open it, walk through and close it behind him. He scanned the room and saw the lump on the bed where he had left her. Walking over the bed, he kneeled on the edge and pulled back the covers enough to reveal her ruffled hair. Moving so that he was lying next to her, he draped an arm over her shoulders.
�What are you doing, Maru-chan?� Kagome asked as she snuggled up against his chest.
�I wanted to make sure you were alright,� Sesshoumaru told her. �How are you feeling?�
�I�m fine,� Kagome told him, snuggling deeper under the covers. �Still a little tired from last night, but that�s all.�
�Do you want to get up, have some lunch, and train for a while, or would you rather sleep longer?� Sesshoumaru asked, brushing her bangs out of her eyes.
�I should get up or I won�t be able to sleep tonight,� Kagome told him as she began to sit up.
Sesshoumaru got up from their bed and offered his hand to his mate, which she took, and he pulled her into his arms. He placed a soft kiss on her forehead, and smiled softly when her arms wrapped around his neck.
�I want you to know that I�m not upset about the prophecy thing,� Kagome told him, resting her head on his shoulder. �I just didn�t know how to react to what I read.�
"I understand. Don�t worry,� Sesshoumaru said, rubbing a hand on her back.
"I'll have something for you to eat brought here while you get changed," he told her, releasing her from his arms.
Kagome nodded, watching as he left the room, and then turned to closet. She grabbed one of the traditional miko outfits that lined a whole shelf. She was just tying her hair up when Sesshoumaru returned, a servant with a tray of food following behind him. Kagome watched as the servant placed the tray on a short table, then bowed to Sesshoumaru and left the room.
Kagome finished with her hair and then walked over to where Sesshoumaru was standing by the table. "Thank you," she said, bowing at the waist before she sat down to eat.
Sesshoumaru sat on the opposite side of the table and watched her eat, pondering how he and onetle tle human miko were suppose to change how everyone viewed the world. They sat in silence while Kagome finished her meal, Sesshoumaru watching her mannerisms as she ate. She definitely wasn't your typical miko, that was certain. There was something different about her. She had been more concerned that her feelings at their time of mating hadn't been true than she had been with him being a youkai. Something that puzzled Sesshoumaru.
Normally humans cared more that he was a youkai. He could kill them easily, and that is all that mattered to them. But Kagome didn't seem to care what race a being was.
By that time, Kagome had finished eating and was stacking her dishes together.
"Don't worry about that. One of the servants will get that," Sesshoumaru said, placing a hand on hers, stilling her motions.
"You forget, Sesshoumaru. Unlike you, I haven't had servants to do everything for me. And just because they can, doesn't mean I won't. I am perfectly able to clean up after myself. At least I can stack these dishes up to make it easier," Kagome said, her eyes never leaving his.
Sesshoumaru didn't say anything. He merely removed his hand from hers. One more thing to add to his imense list of things he would never understand about her. Any other human would have jumped at the option to be waited on, hand and foot, and yet here she was, insisting that she could clean up after herself.
She reminded him of another human.
Two, in fact
Rin was the first. She would do almost anything to please him. onlyonly had to ask, and she would try.
But the memories of the other human were buried deeper in his mind. Memories of Inuyasha's mother insisting that she didn't need a servant to clean up after her swelled to the forefront of Sesshoumaru's mind.
Sesshoumaru shook himself out of his memories and focused on Kagome when she stood up. He stood up as well and together they walked out of the room.
~*~
Over an hour later, Kagome lay panting on her back, her hands pinned above her head in one of Sesshoumaru's larger hands, his other hand holding his upper body off her. She tried kicking him off, but he pinned her legs with his own. She thrashed her head back and forth, but she couldn't gain an inch.
"Do you yield?" Sesshoumaru asked after she stopped moving about.
"Not like I have a choice. It's no fair. You're bigger than me and stronger than me," Kagome muttered. She tried to bring her knee up one more time, only to be stopped by his foot hooking over her leg and pushing it down.
"You have a choice. Yon'ton't have to give up. In fact, I think I'd prefer it if you didn't. I could come up with some new ways to make you give in," Sesshoumaru said, smirking down at her.
"That's not very comforting," Kagome said, trying to lift her head off the mat, hoping to get some leverage. She droppd her head back down with a sigh, but got an idea. "Come here," she said, motioning as much as she could with her head.
He raised an eyebrow at her, but lowered his head until they were only a few inches apart. "What do you want?" he asked quietly.
"This," Kagome said just before she lifted her her head and pressed her lips to his.
Sesshoumaru smirked before he responded to the kiss, pressing her back against the mat once more. He sucked her bottom lip into his mouth, gently nipping it, breaking the skin, lapping at the blood that seeped from the slight wound he created.
Kagome groaned into Sesshoumaru's mouth, widening her legs when he released them from under his, cradling his hips with her thighs. She felt her hands freed and they went to his shoulders.
In a quick movement, Kagome flipped them over, pinned Sesshoumaru's hands, and pulled back, a triumphant smirk on her face. "You got distracted," she said, smiling.
"Cheater," Sesshoumaru growled, releasing a hand and pulling her down, resuming the kiss.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, Sesshoumaru-sama," Jaken called as he ran into the dojo. He pulled up short, squawking when he saw his master and the human on the floor. "I'mry, ry, Sesshoumaru-sama. Forgive this servant, please," he said, turning his back to give them some privacy. "But my lord wanted me to inform him when Lord Inuyasha arrived, and he is now at the front gates."
Sesshoumaru sighed, breaking the kiss, and sat up, his arms wrapped around Kagome's waist. "Show him into the hall. I will be there shortly," he commanded.
"Hai, milord," Jaken said, scrambling out of the room.
"Inuyasha is here?" Kagome asked, burying her face in Sesshoumaru's neck.
"Seems that way," Sesshoumaru replied. "You had to know that he would come after you," he added.
"Yeah, but I didn't expect him to get here so soon," she said, wrapping her arms around Sesshoumaru's shoulders.
"You can go back to our room while I go talk to him," Sesshoumaru suggested.
"No. If you go alone, he'll never believe you that I'm staying here of my own freewill now. I'll go with you," Kagome said, standing up from Sesshoumaru's lap. "Time to go face the firing squad," she said with a sigh.
"What does that mean?" Sesshoumaru asked, standing up as well. "Facing the firing squad?"
Kagome shook her head. "Just a saying from my time."
Sesshoumaru shook his head and led the way to the hall they were to meet Inuyasha in.
Kagome recognized the hall as being the same one they had met Naraku in. She sighed, knowing she'd have to sit behind a screen again.
Sesshoumaru opened the door and let Kagome walk in before him, noticing the look on her face. "You'll only have to sit back there for a few minutes," he reassured her. "I'm sure it won't take Inuyasha long to demand to see you."
Kagome sighed. "I know," she said, heading towards the screens. Just as she slipped behind the screen and sat on the pillow, she heard the doors open again, and could hear Inuyasha demanding to know where she wa
