Chapter One
A cute little neko yokai sat curled up in a lap of a young women who hummed happily to herself as she strung beads together on a string.
Yes, she thought almost giddily to herself, this should keep that little Hanyo out of trouble!
The door to the room slammed open and a smug wolf yokai sauntered in, placing himself in a chair across from the young woman seated at the table. She made it quite obvious that she was ignoring him.
"Kagome-chan," he grinned.
"Koga-kun," she acknowledged politely. "You seem rather, uh, pleased with yourself."
Koga chuckled quietly. "Where's that mutt?" he asked Kagome, ignoring her initial interest in his happy mood. "He's usually not far from you. In fact, I can't even sniff that dirty hanyo out."
"His brother has arrived home and required his presence, at least, that is what I presume," Kagome stated.
"So," Koga grinned wider, "You want to know why I am so happy?"
Kagome sighed, placing the half-finished necklace down. "Koga-kun, do not be so rude. If you are going to bring it up again, you must share!"
Koga leaned back in his chair, a little too smug for Kagome's liking. The neko in her lap gave a yawn before hopping off and walking out the door to find her master.
"Well," Koga drawled, "You'll have to keep it a secret."
Kagome rolled her eyes, sighing. "I'm a miko, Koga-kun. I promise you I can be trusted."
Koga looked at her suspiciously. "I don't trust on just someone's word. You'll have to do a Yokai Oath for me to even utter a word."
Kagome sighed again. Is it really worth the trouble? She thought. It seemed that she deemed it so, for she stretched her arm across the table for Koga to take.
"Kagome, do you promise not to speak a word of what I will tell you," Koga started. "And that you will tell no one that I told you?"
"I promise," Kagome said, a little bored. "Now spill."
Releasing her hand, he kicked up his chair and rested his legs on the table. "I had a little fun last night."
Kagome tilted her head at his words, confused. "That's you secret? I gave a Yokai Oath for that?"
Koga gave a loud laugh. "I'm not done yet, woman. It' not that I did, but what I did."
Kagome grew a little worried at his evil expression. She started to regret that oath. Kami, she thought desperately, I'm going to be killed for treachery for knowing this!
"You know that Yokai slayer village east of here?" Koga started. Kagome nodded a little numbly. She didn't like where this was going.
"I was a little bored last night and a little fed up with those people. Going around, killing some yokai who only obeyed their natural instincts. So I decided to have a little fun with them."
Kagome let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. So, Koga went around, sending up some fright among the slayer village, making them run for their weapons. No harm there.
"So I killed them," Koga finished casually.
Kagome choked. "What?" she shrieked. "How did you-why-Koga!" Kagome stood up, slamming her fists against the table. "You can't do that! We had a truce with them!"
Koga rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. But no one is going to know I did it. And," he continued, "with them all dead, who's going to tell that it was even someone from here?"
Kagome blanched at his words. All? That's not even possible!
"You can't kill a whole village of yokai slayers, it's not-it's not possible!" Kagome stuttered.
Koga grinned again. "I know right? No one can say they have done that, not even the great Sesshomaru!"
Kagome glared at him. "That's only because Sesshomaru would never do something so vile!"
"Don't be so upset, Kagome. Those people looked down at you too."
Kagome frowned, but she knew he was right. Those slayers sneered at her for choosing to live amongst the yokai. Kagome sat down, fully digesting his words.
"How?" she asked, just wanting to know how he could so easily pick off a whole village of people trained to kill him.
Koga gave a shrug. "They usually have warning of an attack. I just strutted up to their little gate and let the blood pour. They all gathered outside, leaving those unprotected inside. So once I took down the trained slayers, the rest was simple."
Kagome picked up the necklace again, contemplating its use. Maybe it would do better to be around Koga's neck…
Koga stood up, his chair scraping against the stone floor. "Why are you here anyway?" he asked. "This is the army's room where they plan. It's a cave, Kagome. It's cold and drafty. That measly fire isn't doing much."
Kagome giggled. "I'm making Inuyasha some subjugation beads in hopes that he will withhold his temper. I couldn't as well make it where he would so easily find me, like in the shrine or with Sango. I had to be tricky."
Koga chuckled at her thinking. It really was a pity that the mutt got the pretty girl. Though, if she was his, it would be those beads that would go around his neck.
"Well, I really must be going," Koga finished. "I will see you later, no?"
Kagome nodded as the wolf yokai left the room, his brown tail swishing behind him.
"I can't tell a soul," Kagome spoke to the room. "I wonder what effects this will have." Kagome gulped. "I wonder what Sesshomaru-sama will say when he finds out about this. He won't be happy at all."
