Kagome was quiet during the trip to the airport and the trip back to Spokane. She had always known Sesshomaru to be a bit harsh, but she had never heard him speak the way he had spoken to her. The things he had said to her continued to flip around in her mind. It was almost as though… Was he concerned for Inuyasha?
A few times on the plane she had wanted to ask Shippo what his thoughts were on the matter. Did he think Sesshomaru cared for Inuyasha? Did he know? She stopped herself from asking the kitsune, though. Every time she looked at him, he looked as though he wanted to punch something.
When they were in the car on their way back to Idaho, Kagome finally asked what was bothering him. He scoffed. “Better question would be what was bothering you,” he snipped.
She gasped at his sharp tone and watched as he bowed his head and shook it. “I’m sorry, Kagome,” he said. “It’s just… I keep thinking about Saki.”
She nodded. “You like her, don’t you?” she asked.
He threw her an ironic smile. “I guess you could say that,” he replied. “I did ask Sesshomaru for permission to marry her once. But those humans, Rin’s descendants, are his pets. He breeds them very carefully and meticulously. Says it’s what Rin would have wanted.”
Kagome furrowed her eyebrows. “But Saki loves Sesshomaru. You could tell just by the way she spoke of him.”
He rolled his eyes. “You don’t get it, do you?” he asked. He guided the car down the highway and bit his lip. “You’ve heard of dog breeding, right? Dog’s love their masters and, if they could talk, would probably never speak ill of them.”
Kagome’s eyes widened. Shippo glanced at her and, seeing that she understood, laughed at the irony of it all. “Sesshomaru would deny such things, you know,” he said. “But I’ve seen him. When he feels the humans are ready to take a mate, he gets involved and handpicks their partners. They think of him as some sort of guardian angel, so they never argue with his choices. Then again, I don’t think they know how to argue with his choices.”
“Saki isn’t married, is she? She’s awfully young still,” Kagome inquired.
Shippo shook his head. “She has at least another three years before she’s old enough to marry, but Sesshomaru is looking for her mate. He just hasn’t found the right one yet.”
“That’s awful,” the miko said sadly. “So, even if you did like her, it wouldn’t matter because Sesshomaru doesn’t approve? Couldn’t you two elope?”
The fox snorted. “As if she would! Her entire family, including Saki, is woven so thickly around Sesshomaru that they wouldn’t do anything without his approval,” he sneered. “Everything revolves around Sesshomaru. ‘What school are you going to?’ ‘Whatever school Lord Sesshomaru thinks is appropriate.’ ‘What did you think of that movie?’ ‘Well, Lord Sesshomaru thought it was rather dull.’ ‘Why are you wearing that dress?’ ‘Lord Sesshomaru thought it was pretty.’”
Shippo scoffed. “It’s like talking to robots,” he huffed.
Kagome looked at him curiously. “So, what made you take an interest in Saki?” she asked.
He just shrugged. “I thought she was cute, I guess,” he replied. He was quiet for a moment before he spoke up again. “She looks so much like her. In a lot of ways, she acts like her, too. There’s just something special about Saki. There’s a fire in her eyes that I remember from…”
He became quiet again and Kagome could only guess what he was thinking. She had never known the kitsune to be reserved or unwilling to speak of his feelings. In a lot of ways, he was very much the same kid she remembered from 500 years ago, but in other ways, he was very much different. He had changed and grown up.
Looking at him, she could just make out the worry lines in his face. They were barely noticeable and anyone who didn’t know him would be hard-pressed to find them. He was still young, very young. Or was he? The corners of his mouth and eyes showed the telltale signs of age, but again, anyone else would not see it.
“Who did Rin end up marrying?” she asked after a while.
She saw his expression darken and it dawned on her that he may have had feelings for the little girl. The darkness lasted for only a moment before it was gone. He sighed. “You’ll be happy to hear that she ended up marrying Kohaku,” he told her. “They had two children together and lived very happy lives.”
“Oh!” she said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “I’m glad they were happy.”
He nodded as he turned down a street. “I am, too.”

Koga held her close and Kagome stood there, breathing in his scent. It felt so nice to have his arms wrapped around her. It was comforting.
“I’m so sorry I had you worried,” she said.
His chest rumbled as he chuckled. She smiled at the feel. “There’s no need to apologize,” he told her. “I knew Shippo was with you, so I wasn’t too worried. So, did you get to see Mutt-face?”
She shook her head and buried her face in his chest. “Sesshomaru wouldn’t let me,” she mumbled in a muffled voice.
Kagome could hear his growl come from deep inside his chest. It vibrated into his stomach and up his throat. Was he angry for her? She had never witnessed anything like that before and pulled away to look into his eyes. She was amazed by the indignation that was carved in his hardened features.
When he spoke there was gruffness in his voice that was usually reserved for misbehaving wolves. “Is Shippo doing something about it? Is that where he went?” he asked.
She shrugged. “I’m not sure,” she replied honestly. “He dropped me off here and said he would be back later. He seemed… agitated. Did you know that Sesshomaru breeds a family of humans like humans breed prized dogs? I think Shippo is in love with one of the girls Sesshomaru keeps.”
Koga nodded as he kissed her forehead and walked to the refrigerator. He pulled out two bottles of cola and handed her one. “Shippo had told me about the family once before,” he explained. “He said Sesshomaru had started his breeding program with that little girl he saved 500 years ago. The taiyoukai keeps a record of each person; including their birth, death, what children they had, and who they married.”
“Do you have any idea of why he does it? Or what his goal may be?” she asked.
The wolf demon shrugged as he took a pull of his drink. “Most of his humans are well known in the modeling circuit,” he told her. “They are some of the most beautiful humans on the planet, but they are little more than robots, to be honest. They do everything Sesshomaru tells them to do.”
She nodded. “Yes, Shippo told me that,” Kagome said. “He also said that Saki was different from the others.”
“Saki?” Koga asked his head tilted a bit.
Kagome almost smiled at the canine expression. He was so cute at times! “The girl Shippo is in love with,” she clarified. “He asked Sesshomaru if he could marry her.”
“Ah! Yeah, he told me about some girl he had wanted to marry,” he responded. “I’m not surprised that Sesshomaru would deny the sale.”
Kagome’s eyes widened and she popped Koga on the arm. “Humans are not for sale!” she protested. “They aren’t objects or property.”
He chuckled. “I never said they were,” he stated. “That doesn’t mean Sesshomaru feels the same way. There are a lot of demons who keep humans as pets. Well, those demons that dare to show their faces in public, that is.”
The miko did not like where this was going. “Is that what I am to you? Your pet?”
The wolf raised his hands in surrender. “No. That would be a mistake I would never make,” he declared. Then he explained, “I don’t dally in human breeding or servitude, nor does any of my wolves. You are my mate, or will be my mate soon. I like your fire and your individuality. That you don’t really need a man, but allow me to be a part of your life is something I treasure. I’m not gonna muck up what I got by makin’ you into a pet. Besides, demons who keep human pets don’t mate with ‘em. And I intend to mate with you as many times a day that I can, once we are properly wed, of course.”
Kagome blushed, which made Koga smile. “You are really adorable when you blush, babe,” he told her which made her blush even more.
“So, what do I do now?” she asked. “If Sesshomaru is keeping Inuyasha away from me…”
His eyes narrowed a moment while he thought. “Somehow, I highly doubt Sesshomaru can keep Inuyasha from anything,” he said. “Chances are, he lied to Mutt-face and told him you were dead or some bullshit. This is the 21^st century.”
He took her hand and led her into his office. Once there, he got behind the desk and fired up his computer. “If Mutt-face kept up with the times, like I’m sure he did, we can probably find him on the internet. As much as I ragged him as a pup, he ain’t no idiot. We’ll find him, babe. Trust me.”
Kagome watched him as his fingers flew across the keyboard and he clicked on different sites with the mouse. “Why are you helping me with this?” she asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
He turned to look at her and she could see the seriousness in his eyes. “Because your happiness is my first priority. And if seeing that mutt again will make you happy, then I will make sure it happens.”
