[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Before she could rejoin the fun, a disturbance from the other side of the village caught the attention of everyone. Sesshoumaru's mask slipped into place and Inuyasha went back to being is usually grumpy self. When both demons started to growl, Kagome started to get worried. 'What can be happening to get both of them growling?' she wondered

“Jaken”

“Yes Sesshoumaru-sama?”

“Take Rin to the old Miko's hut. Keep her inside”

“Of course Sesshoumaru-sama. Rin lets go. You heard Sesshoumaru-Sama.”

Just as Jaken got Rin onto Au-Uns back, a dust cloud formed over the group. Kouga stepped out of the middle of the cloud. Members of his pack following close behind. From her spot atop the two headed dragon. Rin, gave a small shriek of fright, and jumped back down to the ground.

Running behind Kagome, she throw her arms around her waste crying, “Mama, don't let them get me again.” Placing her hand on the child's head, she started petting Rin's hair.

“Don't worry sweetie. Kouga won't hurt you. He's a good friend of mine. And your Daddy and uncle are here too. They won't let anything hurt you.”

Giving Sesshoumaru a look that said she expected answers later, she continued talking to the girl. “Why don't you go back to kaeda's now. Where going to talk to Kouga, and then come and get you. I'm sure if you take Shippo with you, he'll be able to find the treats that are in my bag.” Picking the child up and setting her back on the dragon's back, motioning for Shippo to sit behind her.

“Go Jaken. Make sure they don't eat all the candy.”

“I don't take orders from a filthy human.” Jaken stated.

“Jaken, Do what she says. And don't ever let me here you call Kagome and filthy human again!”

“y y yes Sesshoumaru-sama. I'm sorry Sesshoumaru-sama.”

“Go Jaken.”

Turning back to the members of the wolf tribe, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru, moved closer together as Kouga tried to get to Kagome.

Realizing that he was not getting any closer without a fight, he stopped and glared at Sesshoumaru.

“Why is your pup calling my woman 'mama'?”

“That is no concern of yours.” Came the cold reply.

“Keh. Like we're gonna tell you anything, asshole.” Inuyasha said at the same time.

“Damn rights it my concern, anything that happens to my woman is my concern. And if I don't start getting answers, from the two of you, I'll just beat them out.”

“Like you could take on both of us at once.” sneered Inuyasha.

Sighingin expiration, Kagome pushed aside the two brothers so she could talk to Kouga. Glaring at the brothers as they both tried to push her back behind them.

Switching from glaring at them both to glaring at Sesshoumaru, her whole body tensed as she asked, as if afraid of the answer. “why is my daughter afraid of Kouga?”

Looking down at the small miko in front of him, his mask became even colder. “Miko, you really do not want to know. This Sesshoumaru will deal with the problem.”

Ignoring the formal speech, Kagome growled at him. “You forget that I know how you deal with problems. I will not allow you to hurt Kouga!”

Losing some of his composure, Sesshoumaru snapped back at her. “Would you defend your precious wolf, if you found out that he killed our daughter?”

Growling low in his throat, Inuyasha drew out Tetsusaiga, preparing to cut the Wolf Prince, and his tribe down. “When?”

“I meet Rin just after Tenseiga saved me from your wind scare. She did everything she could to help me recover, no matter how many times I told her I did not want or need her help. After I was healed, the village she was staying in was attacked by wolves. She was on her way to ask me for protection, when the wolves caught up to her. Thankfully she was just dead, and not mauled.”

“If I may ask. How is it possible for her to be alive, if as you say my wolves killed her? Kouga asked in confusion.

Kagome jumped in surprise. Paying close attention to what Sesshoumaru was saying, she had totally forgotten that the wolf was there.

“Sesshoumaru's Sword Tenseiga, brought her back.” She replied. Noticing the still confused look on Kouga's face, Kagome explained further. “Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga are brother swords. Both were forged at the same time, from the fangs of their father. Unlike Tetsusaiga, Tenseiga cannot kill. It is the sword of life, and as such can bring those who did not need to die, back to life. And if I understand correctly, it can also heal those who it's master chooses.”

“There was no need to tell him all that wench.”

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and smiled. “would you rather him hear it from us, or from someone who would confuse everything?”

“Keh”

“I thought you would say that.”

“If you are done, this Sesshoumaru has unfinished business with that wolf.”

“Sesshoumaru, I can not allow you to go after Kouga. He's changed since then. His tribe no longer hunts humans. And they do not kill them unless they had a very good reason.”

“You expect me to believe that. Youkai do not change.”

“As much as I may hate to admit it. Kagome is right. And if youkai do not change, then why have you over the past four years? If you hadn't Kagome would be dead right now for slapping you, and there would be nothing I could do about it.”

Bowing his head in defeat, Sesshoumaru allowed the subject to be dropped, but not before warning Kagome. “I will kill him, if he scares Rin again.”

“Not if I do it first.” Sighing she added “I guess I better go about convincing her that he means no harm.”

Kouga looked between the three, before once again asking his first question. “Why is Sesshoumaru's pup calling my woman 'mama'?”

Both brothers started to growl again and stated at the same time “She is not your woman!”

“Of course she is. That's why I'm here. To take her back to my cave and make her my mate!”

To Kagome's ears, the growls that erupted from behind her where down right murderous. But to the ears of those in the wolf tribe, the words in the inuyoukai language were perfectly clear.
