Kouga landed softly by the mouth of the den. Kagome quickly slid off Kouga's back and blushed shyly. She wasn't yet used to being on Kouga's back.

"My woman has finally decided to live with me!" Kouga yelled proudly.

"Kouga!" Kagome shouted "I'm just staying over for a few days! I'm not living here forever!" She laughed.

Kouga tried to hide his smile, so he laughed and walk Kagome into the den. In seconds Kagome was covered with wolves licking her of the face. Kagome couldn't help but giggle. Kouga called the wolves off of her and showed Kagome to her room. It was this huge room all to her.

"I hope you like it" Kouga said romantically.

"It absolutely huge Kouga!" complimented Kagome.

Though her bed was made out of the skins of anything furry, Kagome still laid down and enjoyed the warmth. A bog smile washed over Kouga with a feeling that he impressed her. Kagome sat up straight and tried to think what Inuyasha was doing at that point. Kouga sensed a little depression within Kagome and wanted to make her enjoy her stay.

"Um Kagome?" Kouga mumbled "If there is anything you need, you call me……because whatever you need you know I'll get for you!"

Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was Kouga trying to make her feel more comfortable around him? Kagome smiled and thanked Kouga. He quickly walked out of the room while Kagome continued to gaze upon the gigantic suit she had received. She walked over to the entrance of the cave. The village she had left was long gone. There was nothing but trees. She felt bad for Inuyasha because she was staying with Kouga, but what about Kikyou? She had forgotten how Kikyou had stolen Inuyasha's heart from Kagome. He wouldn't care what happened at this cave. He didn't care that she was leaving! He just wanted the sacred jewel shards to stay safe.

"The only reason he keeps me around is because I can sense the jewel shards!" Kagome whispered.

It was already dark and everyone was getting ready for bed. Even Kouga was already in bed and half asleep. Kagome stretched out her arms and legs and laid down in her new bed. Her bed was made of the furs of animals, but for some reason she loved it. The warmth seemed to cradle her to sleep. The next morning, she was awakened by the barking of one of the hunting wolves. She slowly got up and stretched. She looked around the rest of the cave, but everyone had seemed to have gotten up this morning. She felt real naive now. She had slept in and completely forgot she was a guest here and should show a little respect.

"Where is Kouga?" Kagome asked herself as she looked around.

"He is out hunting with the others." said a she-wolf demon.

Aparently she had heard Kagome's question. She wondered what they would be hunting. The thought of a poor animal being hunted down and killed for dinner ran shivers up Kagome's spine. What was worse was that she would have to eat that animal if she wanted to have dinner. She decided she would go find Kouga and help him in any way possible! She ran out into the fields to search for him. She soon found him, but he was not hunting an animal. Kouga was not hunting at all! He was wrestling and playing around with the wolves! A smile wiped across Kagome's face. She had never seen Kouga so playful.

"Hey Kouga!" yelled Kagome.

"Hi Kagome!" Kouga replied as he whispered something into a dog's ear.

All of a sudden Kagome was flat on her back being licked to death by loving wet tongues and wet noses. She couldn't stop laughing and soon tears were streaming down her cheeks. Kouga, at first, just smiled but then he couldn't restrain himself from laughing at Kagome's helplessness!

"Alright guys, let the woman breathe!" Kouga called.

The dogs obeyed their master and sat quietly at his side. Kouga let out his hand and help Kagome back to her feet. Tears were still streaming down her face but her laugh was withered into a little giggle.

"Kagome, you know I would do anything for you right?" Kouga suddenly asked.

"Yes." she replied. "I know you would."

At that second, Kagome realized what the question was and what she just answered, while Kouga had big flashy smile on and a romantic look in his eye. And for the rest of the day Kagome and Kouga spent every second with each other. They could not be separated. Kagome talked about her time and how much technology has been made. Kouga talked about his past life, in his childhood and when he found the sacred jewel shards. They both had a great time talking with one another. Kagome felt like she was really connecting with Kouga. But Kouga's words still raced around her head.

"Kagome, you know I would do anything for you right?" she remembered him saying.

She couldn't get his face out of her head. Where ever she looked she saw the picture of Kouga smiling at her.

"Am I falling in love with Kouga?" She whispered.
