'Italics' Kouga's Thoughts
Butterflies
I watched as she passed me by, yet again, and I got that feeling in my stomach. You know what feeling I mean. That one. Butterflies.
Huh, look at me, a grown ass ookami youkai with butterflies in his stomach. Go figure.
And everybody thought I was in love with Kagome all this time, nope. Maybe if I was sane in my head, I'd be in love with the miko, but I'm not. Crazy as it may seem, I'm in love with her…the demon slayer. Sango.
A youkai in love with a youkai slayer.
Oh Kami-sama, kill me now! What am I thinking?!
Yeah, I know I show up at their camp all the time and pretend to be in love with Kagome, but that's just a façade. It always gets Inuyasha all riled up to the point where I have to leave before I end up laughing in his face.
Come on puppy, how naïve can you be? Can't you see that the miko's clearly smitten with your brother? The Taiyoukai of the West. Baka.
So anyway, I always show up at their camp to see her. Sango. And I'll be damned if she's not always with that damn perverted monk! What is it between those two?! Why is she so taken with him? Can't she see that he's no good for her?
Probably not.
I mean, he gropes her constantly and ogles other women-human or youkai-to the point where her pride should be hurt.
I hate sitting by idly and watching the events of the group. If it's not that two-timing Inu puppy, then it's that perverted monk. What gives with them?
A smooth yet deep voice scares the shit outta me from behind, making me nearly jump out of my fur.
"So, are you going to stare at her forever or court her?"
"Sesshoumaru man! You can't just sneak up on me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
This makes him raise a silvery eyebrow at me.
"A heart attack? Really now Kouga? A Youkai having a heart attack would be something new to see."
"Well you know what I meant. You scared me half to death."
"Then perhaps you should be paying more attention to your surroundings than a single demon slayer."
I wave him off and turn back to her, watching her gather firewood alone.
"That's what I have you here for."
"Go speak to her Kouga."
"It's not that easy Sess. We all can't be as lucky as you in the courting game. Geez, you get laid once by Kagome and you think you've got the whole world figured out."
Suddenly, I'm shoved into the clearing with Sango and she looks up startled.
"Damnit…"
"Kouga, what are you doing here? Coming to claim Kagome as your woman again?"
Funny, but did I just hear jealousy laced in her tone?
"Ah…nope. Actually, I was just passing by and I sensed your presence here. So I came to say yo and make sure you were alright."
She looks surprised.
"Me? Really?"
Now she looks skeptical.
"Why?"
I raise my hands in defense.
"Hey, cool down Sango. We're allies, right? We all want Naraku dead, right?"
She relaxes and so do I.
"You're right. I'm sorry. It's just that I'm so used to you only coming around when Kagome's around."
There's that jealousy again.
"What is that? Is that…jealousy I hear in your voice slayer?"
She backs up a step.
"Jealousy? No…of course not. Why would I be jealous of my best friend?"
I smirk.
"Because she has someone chasing after her when you don't."
Her face turns dark as she leans in close to me.
"You know she fancies Inuyasha, right?"
I lean close to her and smirk.
"You know I don't care, right? You know she fancies his brother, right? And they mated, right?"
A small rock comes flying out of the bushes and hits me in my head as I hear the low warning growl of Sesshoumaru.
"Ow!"
"What?!"
She grabs me by my shoulders and those damn butterflies kick up in my stomach even more.
"They did what?!"
"Uh…it was nice talking to you Sango. I gotta go now! Bye!"
With that, I dash off into the bushes and conceal my aura so she'll lose me. I stop right in front of Sesshoumaru.
"Hey, what the hell was the rock for?"
"Next time wolf, keep your mouth shut."
I smirk and look over my shoulder in the direction of Sango.
"Did you see that? I got her to warm up to me. She was so into me."
When I get no reply, I turn back to him, but find him walking away.
"Hey! Wait up!"
I run after the pristine prince and fall into a steady pace with him.
"So what's so bad about Sango knowing? What's it gonna hurt."
His voice is laced with promises of pain as he answers.
"It will hurt you, I guarantee, if you do not get out there and tell your precious slayer to keep quiet about this Sesshoumaru's business."
His eyes slide over to me and I freeze in mid-step. Damn he knew he could kill with just a look. I salute him.
"Yes sir!"
With that, I dash off to find the woman who put these damn butterflies in my stomach again.
"Sango…"
