A/N: So, I got alot of people asking how Kouga can go through the well. It's because he has jewel shards in his legs. If you have jewel shards, you can pass through the well. Thanks to all my reviewers! I love you guys!
The Hanyou's Betrayal and Kagome's Broken Heart:
Kouga had the sensation he was floating.
"Kagome? Where are you?!" he called out worriedly.
She giggled. "I'm right here!"
"Where?!"
She grasped hold of his hand and squeezed sympathetically. She'd been nervous her first time too.
"Oh," his expression softened. "There you are."
All of a sudden the light went out, and Kagome started to climb the stone wall of the well, grasping a vine tightly. She gripped it so hard her hands were striped red.
"None of that," scoffed the wolf demon, scooping her up in his arms.
She smiled. "Thanks."
Once Kouga had lept out, bringing Kagome with him, they entered the house, pulling back the paper screen.
"Mama! Sota! Gramps! I'm home!" she called, cupping her hands around her mouth.
"Oh, Kagome!" exclaimed her mother, bustling into the entry. "We were all so worried! Where have you been?!"
"I was in the feudal era, Mama. Why?"
"Inuyasha came looking for you, so we were sure something had gone wrong!"
Kagome's smile now seemed forced. "I was staying with Kouga, here, and his wolf clan."
"Who?" asked Mrs. Higurashi, confused.
"He's right here. You can come out, Kouga!" she called over her shoulder to Kouga, who had been hiding around the corner. He was holding the telephone in hand and staring confused as an old woman drabbled on and on.
"Well, um...It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Higurashi." he introduced himself the way Kagome had shown him.
She blushed. "Very nice to meet you too, Kouga. So you're a wolf?"
"Wolf demon, Mama." Corrected Kagome.
Kagome took the phone from Kouga's hands and hung up.
"Mama, I just wanted to let you know that I will be staying with Kouga for a little while, maybe a week or so."
"What about Inuyasha?"
"We got in a fight."
"Kagome, you always argue with Inuyasha. That doesn't mean you should abandon the poor boy!" chastised Mrs. Higurashi.
"It wasn't just a little fight, it was a big fight."
"Oh, I see. I'm sorry dear, I shouldn't have pryed, I can see you don't want to talk about it."
"No worries," Kagome was quite embarassed. Did her mom have to talk about Inuyasha in front of Kouga?
"So can I go?"
"Of course, Kagome. Just make sure you come back and visit every once in a while."
Kagome said her goodbyes to Sota, Gramps, and her mother, and left.
Kouga turned to leave too, but Mrs. Higurashi caught him by the arm.
"Take good care of my daughter." she told him, smiling.
He nodded. "I will."
Meanwhile...
"Kohaku, won't you eat anything?" asked Sango softly, thrusting a bowl of stew into his hands.
"I-I killed them...I killed them all." he sobbed. "Why...why would I do that?"
"Kohaku, it wasn't your fault. You were under Naraku's control. It wasn't you that killed them."
"And mother, what about mother?"
Sango bit her lip, trying to be calm. "Mother died giving birth to you."
"So that was my fault too?!" he cried, covering his face with his hands.
"Kohaku, they loved you so much, and they love you still. They know it wasn't your fault, and don't blame you. I don't blame you either."
"Even when I tried to kill you?"
"That night, I was more worried for your safety than anything. I tried to protect you, but failed. I'm just glad to have you back."
The boy nodded sadly. "So...we were friends?"
Sango smiled encouraginly. "Best friends."
Meanwhile...
She had been following him for a long time, but had lost sight of him as he'd sped off.
Rin sighed and sat down cross-legged on the moist ground. He feet were dirty and ached. She had so many cuts from sharp rocks and twigs they were bleeding.
She was cold and hungry and lost. No one had even a slight chance of finding her.
"Sesshomaru sama," she called quietly, her voice hoarse, tears pooling in her eyes.
Stupid Inuyasha, why did he have to run so fast?
"Sesshomaru sama!"
Dark clouds covered the sun and it slowly began to rain.
She wept bitterly as droplets of water pounded down onto her. And like that, she fell asleep, curled up in a ball to keep warm, soaked through and through.
Meanwhile...
"Rin, you ought to go to sleep-" squeaked Jaken waddling toward the place she'd previously been. He stopped talking abruptly when he noticed she wasn't there.
"Rin?!" he called, searching through the bushes.
"Rin!"
Sesshomaru sama was going to kill him. No doubt about it.
"No!" he wailed, slumping to the ground. "I'm too young to die!"
Meanwhile...
"Ginta! Do you see that?"
"You mean that blur of red?"
"Yes. What is it?"
"I don't know, do you think it's dangerous?"
The two wolf demons held their weapons in front of themselves protectively.
With Kouga gone, they needed to defend the clan.
"Stop shaking, you wimps, it's me," snapped Inuyasha, knocking the spear out of Hakkaku's hand.
"What do you want?" tentatively asked Ginta.
"Where is she?"
"Who?"
"Kagome, you baka! Where is she?"
"Umm, she left with Kouga a little while ago."
"Where did they go?"
"I don't know." piped up Hakkaku.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to wait here 'till they come back."
The wolf demons sighed. "I guess,"
Meanwhile...
"What did you bring?" asked Kouga curiously.
Kagome slung the yellow backpack on her shoulders. "Just clothes, snacks, some homework. And a deck of cards."
"Home-work?" he questioned, confused. "Cards?"
"You know, playing cards. You play games with them. Homework is writing and reading, etcetera. It's so I can learn more."
"Hmm..." he still didn't really understand, but nodded anyway.
Kagome giggled, "I'll show you later."
Kagome's sorrow was still heavy in her heart, but it helped to be away from her friends for a little bit. Then she would be too occupied to have time to think upon what had happened.
"Sounds like a date." grinned Kouga.
Kagome simply laughed again.
A/N: Well, what did you think? Please review. I want to have atleast 100 by the time I'm done the story. I repeat: This story is Inukag, but Kouga will play a big role in it, and there will be some Kougkag fluff and lots of drama.
