It was early spring, flowers were starting to wake up from their winter

slumbers, the mateing season had began, and the Inuyasha gang was takeing

a break from their journy.

Kagome was laying in the shade of Goshinboku with her eyes closed,

Shippo was playing follow the leader with Kirira down by the stream, Sango

was takeing a bath in the nearby hot spring, Miroku was trying to get a good

look at Sango while she was naked ( PERVERT HENTAI ), and INuyasha

was siting on a branch of Goshinboku above kagome looking down at her.

INUYASHA'S THOUGHTS: Kagome could you ever love a hanyou . . . let

alone me . . . who am I kidding . . . I'm always such a jerk to her . . . I just

don't want her to think I'm weak . . . because . . . I love her . . .

"Kouga" Inuyasha growled.

"What" Kagome asked opening her eyes and sitting up. Inuyasha instintly (

sp?) knew why Kouga was coming

It's spring, he thinks as Kagome as his 'women' and he must want to

make her his mate

Not even thinking about what he was doing Inuyash jumped down from the

branch of Goshinboku that he was sitting on and grabed kagome up in to a

bridle fashin hold and jumped back onto the branck he was sitting on. He sat

down and gentally Kagome on his lap.

"What you do that for" Kagome asked turning her head around with a raised

eyebrow. But before Inuyasha could answer . . .

"Hey Mutt-Face why don't you put my women down here . . . or do I have

to make you"

Kagome turned her head to see who was talking and to her suprise it was

Kouga. Inuyasha grolled and in an agressive (sp?) voice he said " You can

try and make me, but you won't be able to"

He glared at Kouga and jumped out of the tree again with Kagome still in his

arms, he rested her on the sid of the well and whispered in her ear so she

could only hear him "If he trys to take you go home"

Inuyasha waited for Kagome to nod and when she did he turned around to

face Kouga. "You can't have her" Inuyasha growled.

"O. I can't can I . . . Will just see about that" Kouga snarled back.

Kagome thoughts: Inuyasha is fighting for me just so Kouga won't take

me away and make me his mate . . . does this mean Inuyasha likes me or

maybe even loves me and maybe even want me to become his mate?!
