Chapter 9: Self Proprietor

(Owner)
After breakfast, the group set off once again. They only had a couple more hours to walk until they would reach the village. As they walked, Kagome chatted and laughed with the others as if nothing had changed. She kept the white rose tied up in a high pony atop her ebony hair. During their lunch break, Kagome finally had time to herself. She sat in a bedding of yellow buds that covered a slope just above a stream. She watched the monarch butterflies dance in the wind while a blue jay hopped along the bank. �This is so relaxing. At least I can stop acting so cheerful. Now I can try to figure out what exactly is going on with Sesshomaru. I wonder why he didn�t kill me when he found me walking back to the village alone. He couldn�t possibly want anything from me. Could he? And why the advice?! �Leave him?� Since when does the ice lord himself care if I�m with Inuyasha? Well, he was rather sweet the other night. It was nice to just� take a walk� without Inuyasha! It hurts to even be near him. He just keeps reminding me that I�ll always be second� or at least a filler until Kikyo returns� Sesshomaru.� Kagome sighed. �Why did you walk with me? Am I really that interesting? What could he possibly want from me? I know he�s not after the jewel. He�s stated that many times before.� Kagome took the rose out of her hair and smelled it. Memories of her encounter with Sesshomaru returned and they made her smile. �He showed me how to fly. Through the mountains of clouds it rained shooting stars while the silver moon lit the way. I would love to do it again!� She blushed and cupped her rosy cheeks with her palms. �What am I thinking? Sesshomaru?! Hello! But still.� Kagome closed her eyes and sighed once again as she crossed her arms and looked up to the blue sky. �I wonder why he gave me a rose. Does it mean something different in this era? No, I remember Miroku giving Sango some roses when he asked her to court him� Whoa! Does that mean Sesshomaru wants to date me? Now way! He doesn�t like me. Come on, he tried to kill me! Well, at least he�s not that bad lookin.� Kagome smiled again. �I love his hair, and the power!� A shiver ran down Kagome�s back. �What was that? I have to get these thoughts of Sesshomaru out of my head. Besides, he only said he�d help me get rid of the pain, nothing more, but what is he getting out of it? How is he going to relieve my pain? He said he wouldn�t kill Inuyasha. Maybe it�s a potion or a spell? I�ll have to ask him� and I�ll find out what he�s getting out of it. I�ll do that next time I see him. I hope it�s soon.� Kagome grinned and blushed again. �What am I talking about? I hope it�s soon?�

�Kagome! Are you ready?� Sango yelled down to her. �Time to put on a happy face again.�

�I�m coming.� Kagome cheerfully smiled and headed up to the waiting group.

Just as they entered the village, the boar youkai was attacking a small hut. This demon was far too easy to destroy. Inuyasha simply cut it in half. Unfortunately, there was no jewel shard and that, of course, irked Inuyasha and he spent the rest of the day in a foul mood. The headmaster offered his home for the night as well as a good meal as thanks for getting rid of the boar youkai. This time, Miroku didn�t have to exercise a home. As the sun began to set, Inuyasha and Kagome went on patrol around the outskirts of the village. Inuyasha was going to ask Miroku to go, but he found the lecherous monk propositioning women again. Sango wasn�t too happy about it as she reminded him of his vows to her with a Hiraikotsu to his head. Sango then spent her time tending the unconscious monk. The two stood and watched the bright orange sun slowly fall behind the earth. The birds began to quiet down while the crickets picked up where the birds left off. Nature has a way to keep the music going. Kagome smelled the white rose again, which had begun to wilt.

�Where did you get that from? I noticed you had it the other night when you returned to camp.� Inuyasha asked as they turned to continue their patrol.

�Oh, this? I found it on my way back after my walk.� �Now I�m lying?! Well, it wouldn�t be the wisest thing to tell him where I really got it from!�

�But Kagome, that�s a� wait.� Inuyasha stopped and sniffed.

�What is it?� Kagome asked. �I hope this isn�t how Sesshomaru is going to get hold of me! I wouldn�t know what to do! �Oh, Inuyasha, I made a deal with your brother to help me get over you.� Yeah right.�

�I smell� wolf.� Just then, a cyclone appeared and Kagome found her hand tangled in Koga�s. His dark blue eyes sparkled.

�Hey, Kagome. I picked up on your sweet scent and decided to see how my woman�s doing.� Inuyasha made his way next to Kagome and growled at Koga.

�She�s not your woman!� Inuyasha Spat out.

�Hi Koga! How�s�� Kagome tried to talk, but was abruptly stopped.

�Get away from my Kagome, mutt face!� Koga snarled at Inuyasha as he grabbed her other hand.

�She�s not your woman, damn bastard!� Kagome removed her hands from both canines as the two shouted obscenities at each other, each one claiming her as their own. The anger in Kagome�s face was clearly seen. She couldn�t handle anymore claims.

�I don�t belong to anyone! So both of you, knock it off!!� Inuyasha let go of Koga�s armor and Koga let go of Inuyasha�s hair as they looked at Kagome wide eyed. Kagome pointed to Koga. �I told you before Koga. I�m not your woman, you�re my friend. Why can�t that be good enough?� Inuyasha laughed. �And you�� She pointed to the hanyou. �You� you have never claimed me as yours unless Koga�s here!�

�But�� Both protested, still stunned at her temper.

�Don�t even!� Kagome sighed and looked at the ground as Koga took her hand once again. Inuyasha growled. �Inuyasha,� Kagome spoke sweetly. �Sit!� He dropped face first to the hard ground below. �Look Koga. I know it�s been a while since I�ve seen you, and I do want to see your pack again, but I have to find a couple more shards before I can relax.� Kagome looked away from Koga�s dusky blue eyes in thought. �How about this?� She smiled as an idea hit her. �I do need a break from shard hunting. So, how about in a couple days I will stop by your lands for a few days rest and relaxation?�

�No you won�t!� Inuyasha shouted when he could finally stand.

�I said Sit boy!� Down he went again. �I will stop by in three days time. Without Inuyasha.� She emphasized without as she narrowed her eyes at the hanyou subdued on the ground.

�I�ll be waiting for you Kagome. You�ll see just how much I love you when you come to stay.� Koga let go of her hands and began to run. �See you in three days.� He yelled over his shoulder as the cyclone disappeared. Inuyasha shot up.

�You�re not going near that mangy wolf, and I won�t let you stay with him!� Kagome looked straight into his golden eye and calmly spoke.

�Inuyasha, I told you not to treat me like a child, and I told you to trust me. Now, I am telling you that in three days I will go to meet Koga, alone, and spend two days catching up with them. After that I will spend two days in my era, alone. When I get back we will continue our hunt.�

�No you�re not!�

�Inuyasha! Sit!� Kagome turned and stomped back to the headman�s house.
