InuyashaForever1989: Well I'm going to open this chapter with some character dialog. I've seen other people do it and it looks really cool tell me what you think. Now in this chapter I'm going to be evil and give Kouga a rival, hehe!
Kouga: YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
IF: Of course I can I'm the author.
Daisuke: That's right she can do what she wants.
Kouga: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!
Daisuke: Wouldn't you like to know.
Makiko: What's going on here?
Kouga: The author's gone mad that's what.
Daisuke: Hello, I'm Daisuke it's an honor to meet you.
Makiko: Hi there, I'm Makiko it's nice to meet you too.
Kouga: DON'T BE NICE TO HIM!
IF: Don't worry you'll still get the girl (under breath) maybe. Now on with the story. (everyone walks out leaving Kouga behind)
Kouga: Hey, what did you say? Wait for me!
--------------------------------------------
"The jewel shard is getting closer," Kagome pointed out as they continued in a northern direction.
Everyone looked around cautiously, expecting at any moment a demon to come running out from behind a tree or something. Kagome made an abrupt stop and turn around. As everyone turned a blur of red encircled them. All had come to the conclusion that this was the demon, but he was running so fast around them they couldn't move from the wind speed.
Suddenly the onslaught of wind subsided and standing in front of them was a neko youkai. He was pretty tall (think about Sesshomaru's height). His eyes were a pricing yellow green color with silted pupils. His hair was short and brown. He also had a long brown tail that twitched around in the air. He was wearing an outfit similar to Inuyasha's; in fact they were almost identical except the youkai wore a black under shirt and he was also minus a set of beads around his neck.
There was an 'eep' form Makiko as he had stopped right beside her. She slid down to her knees and clutched at her chest with her hand and glared at him.
He chuckled at the weakness of the pathetic ningen.
That was the last straw. Makiko stood up in a huff and said, "Oh, so you think it's funny scarring people like that? Well take this you jerk." There was a resounding 'slap' sound and everyone gapped at the sight. The youkai was standing there with a shocked look and a very red hand print on his face. "That'll teach you," Makiko said with a slight look of victory on her face.
"Makiko get over here," Kagome hissed seeing as the girl still hadn't moved from her spot next to the strange youkai she had just hit. Makiko gave Kagome a 'why' look. She got her answer in the form of a semi loud growl. She turned and realized what she had just done.
Makiko laughed nervously and backed away a step. The youkai seemed to notice though and bolted for her. He rapped his arms around her and gave her a smirk. Makiko sweat dropped as she tried to take another step back but was being held to tightly.
He bent down and whispered into her ear, "No one has ever struck me before." Makiko shivered, his voice was dangerous and in the back of her mind she was screaming for Kouga to come and save her.
A sudden movement from the youkai brought her out of her thoughts as he swooped down and captured her lips. There was a group gasp in the back round. This is nothing like Kouga's kiss, Makiko thought as she stood there stunned at the current event. This kiss was rough and made her want to slap the youkai again, were as Kouga's was gentle and sweet and only left her wanting more.
He broke the kiss and spoke once more. "I like that. I think I'll make you my mate," he said in a deep breathless voice. "I'm Daisuke," he introduced himself.
Makiko looked up her eyes burning with anger at the youkai. "You bastard!" she yelled at him and that was the last word he understood. "How dare you kiss me like that, how dare you kiss me at all, actually? And what the hell makes you think I'll be your mate? You can't just go around deciding things like that you know. What are you anyway, a masochist? I hit you and you fall head over heels for me?" She was forced to stop and catch her breath and everyone looked at her like she was nuts. "What?" she asked going back to Japanese in her calm.
"Um, Makiko, no one understood a word you just said," Sango answered. Makiko furrowed her brow as she thought on why no one understood her. She thought she had said it clear enough, and then it hit her. She had reverted back to English, but that wasn't what was important right now.
"So I would guess by you language and clothing you're not from around here," came the voice she was beginning to associate with the strange youkai named Daisuke.
She turned around with a glare to answer his question. "If you must know, no, I'm not from around," she stated in an irritated voice. Then again in this situation who wouldn't be irritated?
Daisuke took a step closer to her. He had backed up to shield his ears from her loud voice. "Well than seeing as you are going to be my mate I should show you around," he stated getting dangerously close.
"I don't think so," Makiko stated calmly finally walking over to the rest of the group. "Let's go everyone," she said continuing to walk down the path. The group followed after the girl leaving the strange youkai behind.
As they went on they could all sense that Daisuke was following them, even Makiko who didn't have any sort of training. When they stopped for the night she finally couldn't take it anymore. "Ahhh, Daisuke we all know you're there why don't you just come out already?" Makiko yelled into the trees.
A tall figure stepped out of the shadows and said, "You don't have to yell my love." (last words) The next thing he knew he was on the ground and his head hurt.
"Don't call me that. Besides . . ." she paused and looked off into the distance, "I already have someone I like."
Daisuke got up and at the mention of this he narrowed his eyes. He didn't care; he had chosen this woman and no one was going to stop him. For now, he decided to play it cool and win her love for him, he was sure it would work.
"Sorry," he said, which made Makiko turn to him with her mouth a gap. He thought it was a cute look for her and inwardly smirked. "I didn't realize," he continued and moved to seat himself at the fire with the others who were also stunned.
Makiko sat down next to Kagome who sighed in relief. Makiko looked to Kagome questioningly. "Oh, it's just I thought he was going to be another Kouga." Kagome gave her explanation. Makiko got an even more confused look on her face. "Well, you see, when I first met Kouga he did the same thing to me, but he never gave up," Kagome explained. "That is until he met you of course," Kagome quickly corrected herself worried that Makiko might take it the wrong way.
"It's ok Kagome I understand," she said with a slight giggle. Daisuke on the other hand made a mental note at the comment. Maybe I can use this to my advantage later, he thought as he planed this Kouga's down fall.
"So would you mind if I traveled with you?" Daisuke asked out of the blue. "I'm not traveling with anyone and I would still like to get to know you and become friends," he said building his argument.
"Well, I don't really mind I guess, but it's really up to these guys," Makiko stated gesturing to the rest of the group. Everyone looked over the neko youkai and shrugged. Daisuke smiled in triumph showing off his fangs.
"Alright, now that that's all settled I think we all need some sleep," Kagome said a little louder then was necessary. Everyone settled into there places for the night. Inuyasha jumped up into a tree to watch over everyone. Kagome and Makiko slipped into there sleeping bags for the night. Sango rested her self against a tree as did Miroku and she hoped it was just her imagination that he was getting closer. Daisuke also settled onto a tree branch that just happened to be above Makiko. He wanted to watch her for the night.
When it seemed like everyone was asleep Makiko stirred and took out her journal. She penciled in the days events and how she had made a new friend and how weird the encounter had been.
Daisuke watched her from the tree he was in. He couldn't wait until she finally gave herself to him. He smirked and leaned back against the tree closing his eyes, but never truly going to sleep.
A week passed by and the group got to know Daisuke better. In fact they only had one problem and it was the first day that he was there.
Flashback
"Wait a minute," Kagome said just as they were starting off for the day.
"What is it now, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked a bit impatiently.
"I just remembered, Daisuke has a jewel shard in his right arm," she reminded them and everyone turned to the for mentioned youkai.
"How did you know that?" Daisuke asked as he took a step back from all the sudden attention to his person.
"Oh, Kagome can sense the jewel shards and she can purify them as well," Sango explained.
"But what are we going to do he's a friend now we can't just take it from him," Makiko said and everyone nodded in agreement. Daisuke sighed in relief inwardly.
"Well I guess he gets the same deal as the damn wolf and we'll just take the shard when the time comes," Inuyasha put in and the issue was resolved. (Inuyasha solved it without violence, the world must be coming to an end, lol)
Flashback End
Daisuke turned out to be kind of clingy and he decided to cling to Makiko. He was around her all the time and it made the group wonder if he had really given up as he said he had. Makiko didn't seem to notice though or she just didn't care.
"There are jewel shards coming," everyone turned to see a certain whirlwind headed straight for them. Daisuke got into a battle stance, but he snapped out of it when he heard Makiko say, "It's Kouga."
He didn't let go of his stance easily as he wanted to rip this Kouga to shreds anyway. He was all Makiko ever talked about. Even if he didn't want her as his woman all the Kouga talk would still drive him crazy. Then he realized this was a good thing and now he could put some of his plans into action.
The whirlwind stopped right in front of them and Daisuke saw a ookami youkai emerge from it. It took all he had not to rip them apart when this Kouga guy walked up to his Makiko and grabbed her hands. Then he almost gagged at what he said, "I missed you Makiko."
Makiko blushed as her green eyes connected with his blue. She smiled and said, "I missed you too Kouga."
Kouga looked around at the others briefly until he came upon a new one and his gaze stopped. "Who is this?"
