Inuyasha sat watching the sun rise and suddenly he remembered a song Kagome had played on the noise box at her house one night for him. It was one of those 'love songs' that Kagome kept talking about.
'I've had a lot of big dreams
I've made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do
I've met a lot of cold hearts
I've learned to smile and deceive
I know I'm hard to be around
But you never leave
I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
the best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me baby
Just as I am, just as I am
I've made a lot of heartaches
I've found a lot of closed doors
When all the others turn away
You love me more
You love me more
I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
the best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me baby
And be the that I can be
Baby, every time the world
Caves in on me
And you say ...'
Inuyasha caught himself with a small smile on his lips. He couldn't think of anything more like his Kagome. He had met a lot of cold hearts and learned to pretend and deceive and was hard to be around but Kagome…through it all she stuck by him. She held out her hand a few times when he needed it and even a few times when he didn't think he did. She always treated him fairly and kind no matter what. If her temper caught the better of her, she always made it up to him. As he sat there remembering the words of the song, he understood why Kagome said that singing love songs made her happy.
Kagome woke up still cuddled into Inuyasha's side but he didn't seem to notice so for a while she enjoyed the embrace. She should have known he'd know when she woke. "Kagome we need to move out." He said quietly. The others had yet to wake though it was well past dawn. The previous days' journey had tired them out more than normal. Kagome nodded and stood to retrieve her bag. Suddenly she stopped and gazed off into space. Inuyasha had also stood and now he touched her gently. "Kagome what is it?"
She stared down at Ayame who lay curled beside Kouga. Kouga himself had an arm slung over her waist. "There's….something different about her."
Inuyasha knelt close to Ayame and sniffed her skin deeply a few times. He then leaned back on his haunches and also stared at her. "No way…" He murmured looking at Kouga and her both.
Miroku and Sango had woken up with the sound of their movement and they stumbled over causing Kouga and Ayame themselves to wake. Kouga blushed when he noticed how he was holding Ayame and sat up straight while Ayame stared back at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha?" She asked hesitantly.
Kouga saw the look of wonder on Inuyasha and Kagome's face and he growled lightly. "What is up with you two?"
"When were you going to tell us Kouga? No wonder you were worried about her being in danger." Inuyasha muttered and stood up besides Kagome.
Miroku looked at Kouga confused then when his eyes went to Ayame they widened in realization. "I see." He said then after a moment turned away and began to help Sango pack their belongings.
Kagome smiled at Ayame then turned away while Inuyasha continued to scowl at Kouga. Kagome was quick with packing but not quick enough to keep Kouga from trying to punch Inuyasha. "Kouga stop it!" She and Ayame yelled at the same time.
Kouga stopped and stared at the two of them. "What? This cur has been glaring at us all morning and I don't like it."
"Then you should have told us Ayame was with pup." Kagome said.
Aka sat in the puddle of blood and slowly sharpened the edge of his sword. He hadn't needed to use his Blood Sword yet but he wanted to be prepared either way. He paused and inhaled deeply, letting his eyes drift closed. He could smell her…in the air around him, in the ground beneath his feet, her scent was strong.
This woman…she kept eluding him…long ago he almost made her his but she succeeded in sealing him away. Now he had found her again and this time she wouldn't escape.
He stood and slowly put his sword back into his waist band. Ready or not…I'm coming.
So please tell me...how are things going so far? Did you like my surprise? Well there is much more to come! Please review!
Question: Why did Kouga not tell them about the pup? Was he scared or did he not know?
BTW: yes i know that i changed Kouga's spelling midway. I may change it back I don't really notice it will just be on accident.
