Kagome cursed and stomped down the dark foreboding hallway searching for any signs of life. She had been lost in this maze of a castle since Kouga had dumped her off earlier. He had been so angry when she told him that she could not even think of marriage until Inuyasha was found. She had heard the entire town gasp at her answer. Kouga had gone silent and his eyes grew dark. She tried to explain and make him understand, but he had swooped and whirled her away to this castle.

Kagome was about to slide down the wall and cry when she heard something peculiar drifting in the air. She tilted her head and moved closer to make sure that she was correct in what she assumed it was. It was the sound of an electric guitar playing the opening solo of Love Song by Tesla.

She followed the music to a great door and hesitated for all of a second before cracking it open and peeking inside. Her eyes widened to the sight of long silver hair and deadly claws moving with the music. She then pushed the door completely open. “Sessh…” Kagome stopped when the hair revealed bright green eyes.

In a flash the guitar was gone and she was staring into deep started jade eyes. The demon had a light blush across his cheeks. Kagome realized she was staring with her mouth open at the unknown male. He fidgeted a little under her gaze, but said nothing.

“Um, I…I am sorry. I heard the music and followed it. I have been lost for hours and no one is anywhere. I thought…When I saw you I thought you were someone else. Then…Then I started talking without even introducing myself. I am Kagome.” She said and curtsied not knowing if she should or not.

The demon regarded her for a moment and then to her amazement he smiled. She was thrilled that it was not one of those scary psycho smiles she had encountered so many times before. “I am Satoshi.” He bowed slightly to the miko.

“You are the other son I have heard so much about.” Kagome smiled and looked a little closer. He was shirtless and in leather pants with no shoes. He looked down and noticed his state of dress or lack of. “Is it like a wolf thing to go shirtless and wear animals?

“Uh, I normally do not look like this. It would be upsetting to father.” He replied.

Kagome laughed at the statement. “I can just picture the look on his face….Well then again it would most likely look the same as it always did.”

Satoshi furrowed his brow and shook his head at the woman.

“Come and I will take you to mother.”

Meanwhile at a seedy little tavern in the town a wolf king was trying to drink away his problems. He growled low when he a stranger in a green cloak came to sit beside him.

“Hey man, wanna buy some dust? Freshly poured from the tree. It will get you so high.” The stranger said holding open his hand for Kouga to see the glowing gold dust. Kouga just frowned and ignored the stranger.

“Go sell it to the fairies.” A wintry voice said from behind them both. Kouga's shoulders slumped knowing that he had been found. `Damn dog.' He thought.

In his usual manner of taking instead of asking Sesshomaru grabbed the man and tossed him off the chair. “I guess it matters not where you are. There will always be those that taint it.” Sesshomaru said taking the now empty seat.

“Satoshi found the miko.” Sesshomaru said as he held up his hand to get the bartenders attention. “He brought her to Ayame and then both women stormed into my study.”

Kouga's lip gave a slight curl at the mental picture. “I needed to calm down.”

“Hn, if you where not my king I would tell you that you are acting like a child.”

“Guess it is a good thing I am your king then.” Kouga sighed sitting a little straighter.

“Do you remember the miko?” Sesshomaru asked taking a sip of his drink.

Kouga looked at Sesshomaru as if he was crazy. “Of course I remember the miko. I have done nothing but remember her for hundreds of damned years!”

“Then do you recall why you love her?” He asked blandly as he swirled his drink.

Kouga huffed. “She is beautiful, affectionate, amusing, brave, and so much more.”

“Devoted.” Sesshomaru said causing Kouga to growl.

“Devoted to your ass of a half-brother.” Kouga grumbled

Sesshomaru nodded “She was always devoted to her friends, completing the jewel and trying to make the world a better place.”

Kouga rubbed his hands on his face. “You make her sound like some kind of super hero.”

Then he had a picture of Kagome in a cat suit with thigh high boots and a cape.

`That could be sexy.' He mused.

“Wolf” Sesshomaru said breaking the spell on his thoughts.

“Dog” Kouga replied taking another drink.

“I know how it feels to walk in the shadow of a past love.” Sesshomaru said.

“I know that I am being stupid, but it is…”

“Tiring, it is tiring and you want to give up, but can not.” Sesshomaru finished

Kouga nodded.

“Maybe if I glued fake ears on my head and treated her like shit she would love me.”

A quirk of a smile graced Sesshomaru's lips as he pictured that.

“Perhaps she can make you a necklace like my brother had.”

They both laughed recalling the many face plants Inuyasha made.

“Alright, I am ready to go face the angry miko.” Kouga said getting off his chair.

Sesshomaru nodded in agreement slapping down some gold coins.
