Before Your Love

Chapter 5

'I'm going to find out happened in the past months,' Sesshoumaru thought being stubborn and determined.

Kouga delveloped a crush on Kagome the first time he talked to her. Then developed to something more: obsession.

A week later from their first encounter, Kouga asked Kagome to have lunch with him, and she happily agreed.

They were sitting on a bench in the school garden. Kouga slowly inched his hands on Kagome's wrist and snatched the bracelet that were hanging off of it without Kagome knowing.

"This is a great idea!" He exclaimed but didn't know that he said it out loud.

"What great idea?" Kagome asked curiously.

"Ugh...t...t...umm...no...not...nothing!" Kouga stuttered nervously.

"Ok!" Kagome said with a smile, didn't quite believed him.

Then Kouga showed the bracelet to her

"Oh thank you! Where did you find it?" She asked but she swore that she had placed it on her left wrist this morning but decided that she must've lost it.

Kagome stuck her arms out to retrieve her bracelet but Kouga put it at a distance that Kagome couldn't reach.

"Please, Kouga?" Kagome pleaded seductively clinging to his right arm.

Kouga swallowed...hard, seeing how she got all she wanted when she was with guys, but he was not going to fall for it.

"Nope...have to be better than that Ka-go-me," Kouga said emphasizing her name.

Kagome slowly placed her left foot up on the bench, and tried to stand up, but at the middle of standing she slipped. Thanks to her high heel sandals. But thank Kouga for being a gentleman. He automatically placed her on her waist to keep her from falling, still holding her bracelet in his left hand, but because he was sitting, he couldn't balance her well and ended up dropping her. Kagome grabbed the closest thing to her and that happened to be Kouga's neck with her left arm. Kagome looked up to Kouga and smiled at his nervousness because of their position. Kagome's left arm was hooked around his neck, and kneeling on his lap.

Sesshoumaru went to his private place to think. In the garden, he went but seeing that there were people there, he retreated back. Then it hit him. Those people were Kouga and Kagome sitting. To his opinion, he didn't call that sitting. Kagome was on his lap with her hands around his neck. That's what he saw. He called that a foreplay.

'What is she doing?' Sesshoumaru asked to himself.

Well she's not your girlfriend, is she? What are you so jealous about?

"Well she's not my girlfriend but she will be and I am not jealous," he said out loud.

Well if that's what you think. See you later!

'Who was I talking to?' Sesshoumaru thought, 'and why did I say that she will be my girlfriend?'

Then he left them alone feeling sorry for himself.

Kouga swallowed and let his hands settle on her lithe waist. Then what she didn't see coming was...She kissed him on the lips quickly and fled. Kouga sat there stunned and shocked.

"She kissed me," he said quietly not registering what happened.

Then, "She kissed me...whoo-hooo!" He exclaimed loudly, "Does that mean that she liked me, too?" He left the garden puzzled, wanted an answer and to return the bracelet.

"Sango," Kagome said quietly.

"Huh?"

"I was wondering if I can go out with someone if I don't have my memories back yet." Kagome said.

"I don't think that it's a good idea, Kagome," Sango said puzzled to why she asked that, "Why did you asked?"

"Umm...I sorta like Kouga," was all she said and walked off blushing.

"It's your choice though, Kagome," Sango said catching up, "But what if you forget him when you've got your memories back? They'll just going to end up hurt. But no matter your choice is..."

"I don't know but...I think I want to have some fun," she said and walked off.

Sango didn't know what that means, but she had an idea what.

Kouga found Kagome walking down the hallway and returned her bracelet and said hi.

"Hey!"

"I want to talk to you about something," Kouga said seriously.

"Ok, what is it?" 'I hope it's not about the kiss!' Kagome thought.

"Do you want to go out with me?" He asked or more like pleaded.

"Ummmm...sure Kouga," Kagome said happily, that her heart did a somersault.

"Do you like me, Kagome?" Kouga asked, hoping that the answer was what he was hoping for: a simple "yes."

"Yes," Kagome said without hesitating.

Then stopped and embraced her. Kagome hugged him back, and melted into his embrace. Smelling his manly perfume, Kagome felt that there was something familiar about this situation but shrugged it off, and enjoyed his embrace.
