Chapter Three

Sugimi told Kagome about the surprising visitors, he told her that he had the gust rooms moved far away from hers, so they won’t bother her, Kagome was curious as to why he was making all these plans to keep these gust away from her, it’s was almost like he was scared to let them meet.

“Sugimi-sama, do I need to be worried?”
“Kagome I am not going to lie to you these gusts are the Lord of the northern lands and his three daughters, they are coming here because the other Lords wish me to find a mate and have an heir, and well the northern lord wishes for me to choose one of his daughters”
“Oh, so you don’t have a mate?”
“I believe I just said that”

Kagome couldn’t help it Sugimi can be just too funny; never in all her years would Kagome believe that Sesshomaru’s father would have a sense of humor like this. ‘I wonder why Sesshomaru is cold.’ Kagome thought.

Sugimi watched Kagome’s face as is went from one emotion to another, it was amazing o watch, at one time she is happy then she’s worried then she has a curious look about her. ‘This inu is surly odd never in all my years have I ever seen a inu that was controlled by their emotions’ Sugimi thought amazed.

“Sugimi-sama will we still be able to train while your guests are here?”
“Of course, just because those bitches are here does not mean I am going to let your training go to the dogs, so to speak”

Kagome giggled at Sugimi, she was about to say something to him when a knock on the door interrupted them. Turning to the door Sugimi stood and called out to them.

“Hai, what it is Hiroshi?”
“My lord the northern lord is here”
“Very well, Lady Kagome forgive me for cutting this short, but duty calls”

Sugimi bowed once more to Kagome before leaving her chambers, Kagome didn’t waste time in following behind, it was killing her to know what these so called bitches looked like. Quickly Kagome followed along until she saw Sugimi standing speaking to what Kagome to be an older version of Koga. ‘Right now this is getting weird, first Sugimi now Koga what’s next I meet Inuyasha’s mother, hey wait if Sugimi isn’t mated now and Sugimi said the other lords want him to an heir where’s Sesshomaru’s mother?’ Kagome thought.

Kagome was so deep in thought that she didn’t see the wolf female walk up behind her.

“Look what I’ve got here sisters a little scared inu” one of them sneered

Kagome turned to come face to face with a beautiful blond wolf that had the same blue eyes that Koga has. The two other demonesses’ that she spoke to came walking up laughing at Kagome.

“Sister why play with such a plan inu, there’s no reason for you to bother” another said
“I’m not sure Naomi, see we’re going to be here for a while, therefore; we’re going to be bored”
“Ah I see, very smart Akemi” said Naomi

As they spoke to each other they didn’t notice Sugimi walk up behind them, Kagome however did and smiled as him as they listened to the three sisters talk of what they plan to do to Kagome to entertain themselves. Sugimi was more then angry here they were just in his palace speaking of torturing his ward what surprised him the most was how Kagome just stood that and smiled at him knowing what they was talking about.

“I’m telling you Emi its better if we-“
“Enough! I will not have you come in here and make plans to torture my ward!”

The three sisters turned to see a very angry Sugimi behind them, trying to look innocent the three sisters batted the eyes at him, hoping that he would see their beauty and forgive them, however; Sugimi did not see it that way instead he turned to their father which stood behind Sugimi and spoke with him in a low voice so the four girls could not hear what was being said.

“Kagome come we are going to train for a while and let Lord Katsu take care of his disrespecting daughters”

Sugimi pulled Kagome away and into the dojo where he proceeded to pick up a katana and go through the basic exercises. Kagome sat back and watched him move about gracefully and wondered if she would ever become as graceful and him while in battle. As Kagome continues to watch Sugimi remove him outer Kimono and moved on to the more extreme exercises, sweat began to build upon his person Kagome tried to look anywhere but at him because of the thoughts that began to plague her mind. ’I’ve been around Miroku too long, how can I think of that while looking at Inuyasha’s father come on Kagome get a hold of yourself this is nothing, just think of it as another test from Hojo-kun and you’ll do find’ Kagome used the thought of her old school mate to keep the thoughts of Sugimi’s sweating body away.

Sugimi was trying to clam himself from the verbal beating his ward had taken and not stood up against, it angered him that she wouldn’t do a thing to stop them from planning to remove her beautiful hair or use his writing ink to blacken her stunning magenta strips. what has gotten into you Sugimi she’s only been here for three moons and you have already called her beautiful, true not to her but you have said it to yourself which can be worse, now get a hold of yourself and forget about it she your ward and you will find the prefect mate for her’ Sugimi thought.

As they both sad trying to talk themselves out of their odd thought Sugimi’s adviser Hiroshi come into the dojo to inform his lord that dinner was going to be served in a few minute, Kagome was the only one he was willing to approach seeing that Sugimi was looking very angry about something. After he left Kagome wondered how to get Sugimi’s attention to inform him of dinner, Kagome got her idea when Sugimi flung one of his tail over his back. Slowly Kagome walked forward and gently picked up the tail hopping that the inu wouldn’t be able to tell that it was being moved.

Sugimi could feel his tail being moved and wondered what the young inu was doing, he waited for her to finish what she had in mind. As he waited Sugimi began to try and remember the last time he actually had any fun that didn’t involve killing someone.

Kagome wasn’t sure where the idea came from or why she was actually going through with it, but she could not help but go through with it. maybe I’ve been around Shippo and Inuyasha too long as well’ Kagome thought just as she gave Sugimi’s one tail a good pull making him stumble back a bit before turning to her. Kagome squealed before running out of the dojo and down the hall.

Sugimi was shocked that she of all inus would pull on his tail, but what got him the most was that he was so caught in the thought of what she had planned that his actually stumbled back, and when he turned to get her back for her trick she ran making Sugimi’s game a whole lot more fun.

The chase was on Kagome ran through the palace laughing she was having so much fun with the old inu that she didn’t stop to think what any of this would do for the inu chasing after her. They ran through the palace, through the dinning area scaring the three female wolves, they ran about the garden before Sugimi finally caught Kagome by using his twin tails and wrapping them around her waist.

“Now that I have found you Kagome what should I do with you?” Sugimi teased
“Um give me food” Kagome laughed


What the two did not know was the three female wolves sat watching their interaction wishing death upon the inu known as Kagome. Their father Lord Katsu smiled at the scene and wondered where Sugimi had been hiding such a rarity as the inu he now holds.

After the two finally settled down they ate their meal with their guests and had a polite conversation about many things, once they were finished with their tea it was time to head to bed Sugimi had some maids show the northern lord and his daughters to their room while he led Kagome back to hers. Kagome could never believe the day she had it was almost to good to be true not even in her dreams could she believe that Sesshomaru’s and Inuyasha’s feared father actually played with her.

Sugimi stopped at Kagome’s chambers to bid her good night, but was stopped by Kagome placing her hand upon his arm, he raised an eyebrow in question but he only got a gentle giggle before she gently pulled him into her chambers. At first Sugimi was inclined to believe that Kagome was just like the others only after his land and title, but when Kagome didn’t go any where near the futon or his person Sugimi was curious as to what she was up to this time.

“Sugimi-sama I want to thank you for humoring me before dinner and um... Not killing me for pulling your tail”
“Is that all, I thought you were actually like the others and wanted to try and mate me tonight”
“Sugimi I would never try something like that!”
“You didn’t add sama” Sugimi teased making Kagome blushed deep red. “Good night Kagome”

Sugimi left Kagome’s chambers to only come face to face with Akemi the youngest of the three daughters, smiling like he’s just be greatly satisfied Sugimi walked off adding a little bounce in his step. He could not help the chuckle that escaped when she gasped in shock he knew what he had done, he didn’t know why he put Kagome in the middle of it, but it was a good way to keep these three off his back until they left. That’s when the idea hit him he’d just have to talk to Kagome while they train in the morning.

When Morning came Kagome was dressed and ready to train she even found her own way to the dojo and began to mediate while waiting for Sugimi to show up. Though the one that did show up with the lord of the north, opening her eyes she looked right at him and only wished she could hid somewhere until it was safe for her to come out. The glare he gave her made the icy ones Sesshomaru gave all look like he was smiling.

“You’re the whore I’ve heard about aren’t you?”
“I’m sorry what are you talking about?”
“ my dear Akemi saw Sugimi coming out of your chambers, you little slut if you think your going to stop one of my beautiful daughters from becoming the lady of the west your wrong Sugimi will mate one of mine”

To say that Kagome was pissed would be an understatement, she may not want to be the lady of the west but she wasn’t going to sit around and some wolf tell her who Sugimi is going to mate.

“Your wrong Katsu Sugimi-sama will mate who ever he deems worthy, so if you think that any one of your daughters is going to be his mate you’ve got another thing coming!”
“And you think you have a better chance to be his mate do you?”
“Actually she does, it’s alright Kagome I can take care of it from here” Sugimi said

Kagome backed away from the northern lord and watched as Sugimi gave him a tongue lashing Kagome was sure Inuyasha would have most likely been on the receiving end of many times. Sugimi turned back to Kagome once he scared the northern lord out, he had been shocked to hear what he said to her, but he was proud of what Kagome said. ’It would seem that my little Kagome does not stick for herself, but for others. Since when did I start calling her mine?’ Sugimi was deep in thought when Kagome reminded him about her training,
