Sorry for the long wait everyone. I finally got re-inspired to continue my writing. Please review everyone!
Kagome could think of nothing else but the note for the rest of the night. Nobody said anything about her sudden silence, thinking she just had a lot on her mind or that she was just tired. By now everyone was asleep.
'I'll find a way to visit you Kouga. I promise.' Kagome thought touching the necklace. She fell into a dreamless sleep.
Once they had breakfast, packed up, and had walked for a bit Kagome decided to try out her plan.
"Hey Inuyasha I think I sense something." Kagome said. Inuyasha quickly turned to the young miko.
"Where?" Kagome glanced at the wolf that brought the note and it looked to the north east of where they were.
"That way." Kagome motioned to the right of her. Inuyasha nodded and they began walking that way.
"Is it a demon?" Inuyasha asked, probably hoping for a fight.
"I'm not sure. It's pretty weak but it's the first thing I've sensed for a while." Kagome answered, amazed Inuyasha hadn't smelt her lie yet.
'Or maybe he does and just wants to know what the hell you're doing.' Kagome thought. The group continued to walk, occasionally stopping for potty breaks and food or to just rest. Kai decided to use one of these breaks to pull Kagome aside and interrogate her. Sango decided to go with them also.
"So Kagome where are we really going?" Kai asked suspiciously.
"Well…" Kagome blushed before leaving her sentence unfinished.
"I bet she's taking us to Kouga!" Sango smirked evilly. Kagome blushed and didn't say anything.
"Aww! I knew it!" Kai exclaimed. The girls continued to tease Kagome unmercifully, unaware that Inuyasha listening.
'So' Inuyasha thought angrily 'she wants to go see that flea bag. Fine. We'll see how bad she wants to go when she gets back to camp…' With that thought in mind he quietly made his way back to camp.
"Guys we should really head back to camp now I'm sure Inuyasha is anxious to get going." Kagome said trying to get her friend and sister to go with her to camp.
"She's just excited to go see Kouga." Kai then proceeded to poke Kagome in the side. Kagome blushed and walked to camp. Sango and Kai laughed and followed the embarrassed girl.
Inuyasha was sulking when they got back to camp and Miroku was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Miroku?" Sango asked.
"Getting firewood." He replied tersely.
"What's wrong Inuyasha, you're in a bad mood." Kagome asked digging through her pack for some Ramen for lunch.
"Keh. Couldn't be the fact that you're going to see the flea bag." Inuyasha spat sarcastically. Kagome froze.
"Inuyasha! You were spying on us!" Kagome demanded, outraged.
"No! Why would I wanna spy on you? I came to get you to make lunch so we could go. Apparently you were lying just to go see that dirty wolf." Inuyasha yelled back while getting to his feet.
"Yeah because I know you two don't get along! Kouga is a good friend and if lying is the only way I'll get to see him then so be it! I can't believe how much you're blowing this out of proportion Inuyasha!" Kagome clenched her fists while pacing. She was pissed.
"Whatever Kagome. How about you just go to him and be with if you want to see him so bad. But he'll just use you like a whore." Inuyasha growled before running off. Kagome sat there in stunned silence.
'Did he just call me a whore…..again?' Kagome thought. Her eyes began to water. Kai came over and put her arms around her, as did Sango.
"Kagome It'll be okay I promise." Kai whispered while rubbing Kagome's back.
"I have an idea. Take Kilala and go to Kouga. You can stay there for a while. Then she can fly back to me. When you're ready come back go to Kaedae's village. I'm sure You'll have no problem persuading Kouga to bring you back." Sango picked up Kilala and handed the demon feline to Kagome.
"I'll be going with her, and if she needs some privacy with him…well I can always go back with Kilala." Kai smirked mischievously. Kagome giggled a bit and wiped her eyes.
"Thanks, you guys are the best sisters anyone could ask for." They laughed and the two sisters packed their things for the ride to Kouga's. Kagome couldn't wait to see her good friend.
'And he's ONLY a friend.' Kagome emphasized in her mind.
"Ready?" Sango asked. The two girls nodded.
"Alright Kilala take these two to Kouga. You remember what he smells like right?" Kilala meowed and transformed into her larger form.
"Good. And you don't have to worry about the wolf. He left this morning." Sango petted Kilala and hugged the two girls goodbye and then off went Kilala.
'I'm on my way.' Kagome thought while feeling her necklace. She swore she felt it warm up when she touched it. As if it knew what she was saying and was showing her it's happiness. Smiling she looked down at the passing scenery.
"I hope I don't get air sick…" Kai mumbled into Kagome's shoulder. She had a death grip on Kagome.
"Don't worry" Kagome laughed "you won't fall or get sick I promise."
After a few hours the girls stopped to rest. I wonder how much longer it will be." Kagome muttered to herself.
"Anxious are we?" Kai laughed. Kagome smiled but didn't say anything. Kilala caught some fish.
"Thanks Kilala, you're a good huntress." Kagome smiled and began cleaning the fish. Once they had eaten and rested they continued on.
They had been going for about 4 hours, not counting the 3 they had gone before taking a break.
"We should get there tomorrow. Let's rest for the night." Kilala meowed in agreement. The girls found a good spot and hunkered down for the night. It was a bit chilly tonight so Sango built a fire and Kagome got out the sleeping bags. Kilala went hunting while Sango and Kagome ate ramen. Once they were all well fed and warm Kagome and Sango crawled in a sleeping bag and went to sleep. Kilala went to her larger form and lay down near the two girls and kept them warm. Kagome opened her eyes and looked at the stars before yawning and going to sleep.
Meanwhile Kouga stood outside the den and looked at the stars, wondering if Kagome was looking at the same stars. He sighed and walked back into the den. He looked around at the sleeping wolves and decided to go back outside to think. He wasn't sure if he could sleep tonight.
