Kagome was driving around aimlessly, her tears finally dried up and her anger dissipated. Of course she still had the fury of a woman scorned but for now she was just exhausted. She had considered going to her best friend Sango's place but decided against it when she considered that Sesshomaru may come looking for her and that would be the first place he would go. Instead, she decided to crash at a hotel until she could get back on her feet but as her luck would have it every place she had been had no vacancy. Kagome was just about to turn around and suck up her pride when she spotted a neon light that advertised a hotel called The Den. She parked the car and upon entering immediately felt relaxed. It was spacious yet cozy and while the decor was more masculine she thought it suited the place.
"Can I help you miss- Kagome?" hearing her name said by a familiar voice she hadn't heard in years caused her to whip her head around so fast she almost gave herself whiplash. "Kouga?" and with that said she instantly busted into tears.
Kouga had her wrapped in his arms in seconds, stroking her back and making a comforting rumble sound.
"What happened Kagome? Are you okay?" he asked as he wiped away her tears while being mindful of his claws.
"Sesshomaru c-cheated on me. I-I have nowhere to go." She hiccupped.
Kouga took her hand, picked up her suitcase, and led her behind the front desk into the backroom. "I want you to change into your nightclothes, curl up into bed and wait for me okay?"
After making sure she was situated he went back to the front desk to phone his assistants to take over his post and returned to the girl who had haunted his dreams every night since he had last seen her.
