What could it hurt?

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own… do I have to really do this?

There he was, sitting on the ledge of the cliff one knee drawn up, elbow on knee and head resting on palm, eyes set on something yet nothing that could be distinguished. To his tribesmen he looked as if he were intently keeping a watchful eye over them. That however, was not the case. Rather his thoughts were turned on something that to some would be foolish but to him it was troublesome. His mind was else where, as if in he was in a daze, yep you guessed it. He was lost in thought about Kagome, that feisty little miko that had him intrigued in her every aspect.

Was it the fact that she was a mere human who had caught his interest, that she had basically tore his ego apart saying his speed was artificial, slapped him, and rejected him? Or was it that she showed great courage time and time again, had great power, had a soul like he'd never seen one full of compassion, and loyalty? Yes loyalty was a BIG factor but it was also that loyalty that really ticked him off. She would stay true to her word no matter what, and her promising to stay with that infuriating mutt caused a huge dilemma. He wanted her, so badly he wanted her, that he would sell his soul to keep that angelic creature safe from any harm. He wanted her to know that, so that she would become his, however that damned mutt-face was always there, there was no way around it. It seemed that he'd spend more time with that albino runt then Kagome. How the hell was he supposed to tell that breathe-taking woman what he wanted to tell her, so that she in return would fall head over heels in love with him? Well the Wolf Prince with his ever turning wheels in his head that kept this rant going for what seemed like hours came to an abrupt stop when he heard the 'Oh' so familiar yet annoying calling of his closest companions.

"Hey Kouga!… Kouga!" yelled the two lovable lackeys Ginta and Hakaku in search of their one and only leader, Kouga. "Hey Kouga what are you doing?" asked Ginta "yeah why are you here?" asked Hakaku. "What the hell is that supposed to mean? Am I not the leader of the tribe! Should I NOT be here!" said the now very irritated Kouga who spoke in such a low tone with the hostility of previous thoughts of the 'Mutt' and the narrowing of eyes that could make even some of the bravest warriors to go cry for their mommies.

"Well… we … err… were worried that's all" said the now almost petrified Ginta and Hakaku at their leader's deathly response.

'Oh shit …I snapped at them' Kouga looked over his companions and then let out a heavy sigh to try letting out some of the anger he'd been holding in as of late. Then looked back to them and then gave an almost apologetic look and then said "sorry about that you two. You know how it is, misdirected rage" seeing the nods and visible relaxation of his comrades he then turned and stared off to that so entrancing nothingness that would usually be breathtaking scenery of a mountain range.

"um… Kouga are you all right? Is it … is it sister Kagome?" asked the now courage regained Ginta. There was a visible flinch in Kouga at the mention of the name Kagome. 'Oh yeah' that was the problem all right.

'Damn! They know!… how couldn't they know? Hell since they have it figured out might as well go with it, probably won't help any, couple of morons they are, but what could it hurt?' He let out a slight sigh and began speaking as he was still staring off at that very interesting spot that no one could see but him. "It's that damn Mutt Inuyasha, he's always getting in the way between my Kagome and me. I barely spend any time with Kagome because his fucking mouth is always ranting something! It's frickin' annoying and irritating, and I know that Kagome doesn't appreciate it either!" His words were full of anger, pain, and perhaps some desperation and that look upon his face echoed those emotions, as he began to bare his fangs and clench his fists.

The two wolf demons were shocked if nothing else. Their leader had just poured his heart out to them, sure he'd say what was on his mind every know and then, but never with such anguish and pure resentment behind his words. He actually had enough faith and trust in them that he'd do such a thing. At least so they thought.

Now with a new sense of pride Hakaku boldly stated "Well, Kouga, why not as hard as it may be, ignore Inuyasha so you won't have to fight with him?" "Yeah, and don't instigate anything to get him riled up, like insult him, show him your above his childish rants, so that you can sweep sister Kagome off her feet with no interruptions?" Ginta piped in.

Kouga was now wide eyed, he couldn't believe what he just heard 'When the hell did those two get the guts to talk to me like that! And why the hell do they make sense! Hmn… maybe I give them less credit then I should' With that Kouga finally stood placed his hands on his hips and looked at his two companions and gave them an amused smirk with a slightly raised brow. "I don't know what the hell happened to you two, but I'm impressed boys. And I'll try that, what could it hurt?" Kouga then turned his head to look off to that special place he'd been staring at for so long, with a clear destination, his Kagome. 'I'm coming and when I get to you, you'll never know what hit you Kagome.'

However before he took off he had a thought, "Hey Ginta, Hakaku?" he turned to look at the two beaming demons "Your in charge while I'm gone" "Are you serious Kouga?" they both squawked out, thinking they misheard. With that Kouga had somewhat of a frown "Don't push your luck guys, I'm feeling generous" he gave them a serious glance and turned again towards his destination and dashed off in his tell tale whirl wind with slight smile gradually working it's way up his face. 'All I have to do is ignore that mutt and prove who the better man is. Then Kagome will truly be mine.'

As Kouga dashed away he left Ginta and Hakaku smiling like two idiots. Then Ginta frowned "hey Hakaku, I just realized, this is the first time Kouga has left without us" Hakaku just smirked "come on we could use a rest, besides how many times have we been in charge of the pack?" With that Ginta perked up "Your right! Let's not let Kouga down!" "right I mean what could happen?" Hakaku added as they headed down to tell the pack where Kouga was off to.

So there's my first chapter of my first Fan Fiction… hmm I have no bloody idea where this is heading … so I think it'll prove to be rather interesting. So if you'd be kind enough I would like your honest opinion, I know that this chapter has absolutely nothing in it yet but hey I'm working on it.
