Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. But I do own Hatsuki.
Kagome and Kouga were walking near the edge of Kaede's village not saying a word. They both were waiting for the other to speak. They continued walking and were soon in Inuyasha's forest. Kagome lead Kouga to the clearing where the sacred tree was and sat down on its base. He did the same. They stayed like that in a slightly awkward silence. Finally Kouga couldn't take it anymore and said, "What were you going to ask me, Kagome?"
Kagome snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the wolf prince, "Huh?" was her intelligent response.
Kouga fought back a chuckle and said, "The demon slayer said you needed to ask me something." 'She's so cute.' he thought.
She smiled at him and said, "Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" she turned her body so she was facing him and took his hand as a friendly gesture, "Well, my 16th birthday is in a few days and I couldn't figure out who to bring with me to my party and since Inuyasha isn't going to go…" She was suddenly nervous and found the ground of great interest. A small blush graced her features, "Well," she said in a smaller voice, "I never did thank you properly for saving me so many times and being such a good friend and you're so nice to me – "
He cut her off, "Kagome you don't need to thank me for doing my job." He tightened his grip on her hands and smiled.
Kagome snapped her head up and looked into his blue eyes, confused, "Job?"
Kouga smiled at her and answered, "Yes my job. It's my job to make sure that the woman I love is safe and happy…even if she doesn't love me back." His eyes flashed with hurt but only for half a second.
Kagome still saw it, "Kouga… Thank you… That means so much to me." Then silence fell upon them once again and this time it was strangely comfortable. She then pulled her hands gently away from him and said, "I still want to do something for you."
The wolf demon stared down softly at her and said, "If ya want to that's fine with me. It's just not necessary." Curiosity ran through him like a wild fire. What did she want to do for him?
Kagome then grinned brightly at that and said excitedly, "Like I said earlier, my 16th birthday is coming up and well, I want you to come with me to my party!" She looked up at him hopefully awaiting his reply.
The wolf prince was surprised to say the least. "In your time?" she nodded her head, "Really? Kagome, I would love to escort you!" Then he asked, "What is going to happen there? It must be so different considering it's in the future."
She nodded her head but then smiled, "It won't be that hard if I bring you to my time beforehand. We're just celebrating my birthday." She grinned up at Kouga happily.
Kouga grinned back, 'This is the perfect time to prove how much I love her. Just like Hatsuki said.'
Later That Day
"Kagome! Don't go! Please!" It was almost sunset. Kagome and Kouga were about to jump into the well to the miko's time when they were caught by a certain fox kit.
Kagome hugged Shippo tight to her body and whispered, "It's only a week. Don't get so upset Shippo." But Shippo just held on tighter. He had refused to let Kagome go back home after such a short time with him. The miko looked up at the wolf demon beside her with pleading eyes.
A strong, tan hand reached out and gently pulled Shippo out of her reach, "Shippo." He said firmly. Shippo looked up at Kouga, surprised. "Kagome has to go back to her time and you are just making it harder for her and yourself. You need to think about her family as well. They miss her too. Do you think it's fair that you're keeping her from them?"
Shippo blinked and then shook his head. Kouga then smiled at the child and continued, "I'm glad we've come to an understanding. Now say your goodbyes and she'll see you in a week." Shippo obeyed and then skipped back towards the village.
Kouga then calmly looked at the beauty next to him and she was just staring at him in awe. "What?" he asked.
She just shook her head and smiled. 'He acted so mature…and to Shippo. He'll make a good father someday.' She blushed at that thought and then spoke nervously, "Ummm… should we go?"
Kouga just shrugged off her odd behavior and nodded. The odd duo walked the last few yards to the well in silence.
Inuyasha
"Bastard!" The half-demon bellowed while slicing the stubborn demon's head clean off with his tetsusaiga.
"Curse you." Were its last words as it died at the feet of the infamous Inuyasha.
He smirked, "Serves you right." He had been going like this all day. Ever since Naraku had been defeated, there had been a decrease in demon attacks but whenever there was a rumor Inuyasha would go straight to the area to investigate. The adrenaline that he craved was hard to come by nowadays.
He was currently half-way to the village in a valley north of Edo and he already killed off three or four demons. 'It's going to be a good week', he thought continuing to run north.
He stopped at the flash of white and red out of the corner of his eye. 'Kikyo?' No. It couldn't be. She was finally put to rest in the final battle. He had seen it with his own eyes. Besides, he had Kagome. He shook off the foreboding feeling and started off again. It was probably nothing.
I have to be honest I don't love this chapter but I had to put something up because of the wait. I am in desperate need of ideas for this story (mainly for the party).
I kind of have an idea (I will put a poll on my profile) but I wanna get your ideas on it first!
If you haven't already will you please go read and review the K/K stories Alternative and Alternative: Vol 2 by Wolfchild87? It's an amazing story put into two parts but it doesn't have many reviews.
Thank you guys for reading and I will update ASAP!
Reviews make me smile!
Peace Out! ;)
