Well, I got two reviews, one favorite story, and one story alert for chapter one alone. Wonderful. So, here's chapter two.
Chapter Two- Getting Acquainted
Koga could hardly believe his luck. He met up with Kagome by herself and she agreed to stay with him! Even though it was only for a few days, he felt as if he had won her love.
'I don't know what she sees in that Inuyasha. He strikes me as the type who wouldn't know a good thing when it's right in front of him.'
"Kagome," he said, leaping right across a huge canyon. "what did you and the mutt fight about anyway?"
"He went to see his first love behind my back." There was a hint of bitterness to her tone.
'And that proves my point,' Koga thought to himself.
Suddenly, Kagome heard the familiar voice of Hakkaku call, "Hey! Koga's back!" The wolf leader sprinted around a bend and slid to a stop. "Hey. I'm back and I have a guest," Koga greeted as he put Kagome down.
"Oh, hey Kagome. Nice to see you again."
"Hi, Hakkaku."
As Kagome was led into the den, she was greeted by Koga's other follower, Ginta. She felt very welcome among them and a little embarrassed. Every one of them were eager to please her and make her feel comfortable. She eventually told them that they didn't have to trouble themselves to make her feel at home.
Kagome woke up the following morning to an empty nest. She had fallen asleep in Koga's straw bed with the leader beside her. They had made small talk until she got too tired to talk. Koga had been attentive to what she was saying and she responded by doing the same when he spoke.
'He's such a gentleman. I never get to talk to Inuyasha like this,' she recalled. A thump brought her out of her thoughts. She looked up to see a piece of roasted meat in front of her.
"I thought you might be hungry," a familiar voice said.
She looked up even more and saw Koga smiling at her. She felt drawn to his vivid blue eyes. They were like twin pools of sapphire. His body was lean and had just the right amount of muscles. She could see why Inuyasha would be jealous whenever the wolf demon showed up.
Koga plopped down next to her, his own meat in his hands. They ate in silence before he broke it. "I'm afraid I don't know much about you other than I love you."
"Oh. Well, I'm actually from the future. I go back and forth through an old well. I live with my grandpa, my mom, and my little brother."
"The future, huh? Just how far is that?"
"About 500 years, give or take a few years."
"Only 500? That's almost nothing to me."
"I can imagine." Kagome took another bite. "This is good, by the way."
"I figured raw meat wouldn't sit well with you."
"Uh, thanks." Kagome was once again struck by Koga's behavior. It was a lot gentler than Inuyasha's. He actually cared about Kagome's preferences and treated her like royalty.
'I could definitely love Koga. I know how he feels about me. Best of all, he's not in love with anyone else.'
I want to point out that I believe Kagome's time period is in the 1990's, so that's why I wrote 500.
