Outsider
Prologue
Secrets
"Kagome would have a fit if she knew you were out here." The man said, running his clawed hand through the white patch of hair on his head. He looked more than a little worried. "I mean, she hasn't found out yet, but this is the hundredth fuckin' time and she'll find out sooner rather than later. Pissin' off a miko isn't the best idea even if she is your wife."
"Shut it Ginta." A second man snorted, crossing his arms over the wolf skin pelt and armor he owned –he only wore it when he did this and kept it out of Kagome's sight otherwise. He was tall, strong, and handsome with glittering turquoise eyes and long black hair that would have made a girl jealous. "Even if she does find out, she's not powerful 'nough to take out the lowest of youkai. I love her and everythin' but I'm not kiddin' myself about this shit."
"Kouga, I think Ginta's right," quipped the third and final member of the group. He wasn't the smartest –that was Ginta- and wasn't the most handsome –that was Kouga- but he could smell trouble from a mile away. This didn't necessarily make him a coward since he did often stand up for his rights and what he believed in, even if it did cost him his life. "Kagome doesn't even know you're youkai. How do you think she'll take this?"
"She won't find out," Kouga snarled, and angrily put his clawed hand to the katana that he kept by his side. Hakkaku's words hit a nerve –he loved Kagome, he knew he did, but he kept so many things from her. She trusted him with her life but he couldn't even trust her enough to not shut him out if he ever told her his secrets. He wore a silver stud in his right ear that actually was a concealing spell. He rarely took it out. However, it was just a concealing spell and if Kagome ever concentrated hard enough she would notice that something about his actions were a little off.
It was a good thing that she was too shy yet to sleep with him, otherwise he'd have to expose himself. The spell breaks in some circumstances, like when the wearer goes through some extreme like sex or a brush with death or a repeated shots of mass adrenaline. It would also break if his emotions went rampant.
"Okay ya two." Kouga adjusted his sword and watched as Hakkaku toyed nervously with his glaive. Ginta was still but he was just as scared. They didn't want to think of what would happen if they messed up. The handsome youkai looked down at the wolf that had been sitting on its haunches behind him almost unnoticed since they got there. Its turquoise eyes glittered as it howled to the night because of Kouga's silent command. There was a second's pause before there were two answering calls.
Kouga turned back to his companions and grinned recklessly. A feral light danced in his eyes and for a second it was hard to tell which was more dangerous –the human looking youkai or the wolf snarling at his side. "That's the signal. Let's get in there and kick some ass!"
