Chapter Eleven
The next morning we awoke earlier then anyone else so we could leave and get to my "village" at a decent time. So before we left I went to the nursery and gave the sleeping Kudo a kiss on the forehead goodbye and taught the wolf demon women who were watching the little ones that day how to make a bottle and how to change a disposable diaper since I wouldn't be here to do it.
Then after I gave Kudo another kiss goodbye on his forehead. I headed into the main den and saw Kouga talking to Ginta and Haukuku. He was telling them where we were going and that they were in charge while we were gone.
But soon we were on our way and Kouga picked me up bridal style and we were off in our miniature tornado. It amazed me how fast we were actually going. Of course with the jewel shards in his knees it made him faster but I never imagined this fast. We were going so fast that everything was a blur. How Kouga knew where he was going was beyond me but I figured he used his other senses beside sight to navigate.
What really amazed me was in just two hours we were already at the well. What took us five days to travel. Took Kouga two hours with his shard enhanced speed.
"Kagome are you sure we are at the right place? There is nothing here except a old well." Asked Kouga as I noticed he was expecting some sort of village. So I decided to fess up. And tell him the truth. That is if he believed the truth when I told him. So as I sat on the lip of the well as I told him the truth about how I was from the future and how I came to be here. I started the story with when I fell down the well to when I met InuYasha and ended the story with when we met Sango.
After about 30 minutes here I sat on the lip of the well with Kouga sitting beside me holding my hands as I just got done telling him the truth about me. At first I wasn't sure if he believed me or not. He just sat there looking straight ahead into the distance. Not really looking at anything in particular. Just staring into space. I was dying for him to show some kind of emotion or reaction to what I told him and I was hoping he would say something soon but I bit my tongue knowing he needed some time to let this kind of news sink in.
And sure enough after a couple of minutes. Kouga snapped out of his trance like state. And looked at me to see if he could see any trace of lying or joking written on my face. So when he didn't see anything. He got the biggest smile on his face. Well to tell you the truth this wasn't the reaction I was expecting. I thought to myself.
"I knew there was something special about you. I couldn't of picked a better mate. Not only do I love you with all my heart and soul but you're a miko and you come from the future. Hot Damn!" Yelled Kouga as he picked me up and twirled me around and around.
"If your this amazing now. I can only imagine what our pups are going to be like." Stated Kouga as he put me back on my feet as he looked down at me with those wonderful icy blue eyes and that wonderful toothy smile. That I loved so much.
"Well Well Well look what the cat drug in. Or should I say wolf." Joked Sango as she, Miroku and Shippo walked up to us and gave me a hug.
"Wow Kagome you look awesome in wolf demon clothes." Commented Miroku as he looked me up and down. Undressing me with his eyes. Which gained him a growl from Kouga and a smack to the back of the head from Sango for being such a pervert.
"Thank You Sango" I said in which Sango gave me a small nod and replied "I got your back sister."
Myself and Sango started to referring to each other as sisters because that is how close we really were. She was more like a sister to me then just a friend. I had friends back in my own era but that is what they were just friends. They were nothing like Sango. With Sango I could tell her anything and talk to her about everything and no matter what she would never judge me or question me and would only give advice if I asked for it. But my friends in my own era would always judge me and give me advice even if it was unwanted. That was why I couldn't talk to my friends in my era about anything because I knew that would just get unwanted comments. Not to mention Sango and I was a lot alike. Neither of us had any sisters but we referred to each other as just that. Not to mention that we both had younger brothers that used to drive us crazy. And her dad lost their mother and had to raise her and her brother and my mother lost my father and had to raise myself and Souta. So in reality myself and Sango were a lot alike no wonder we considered each other sisters.
"How did you guys get here so fast? It took us five days just to walk to Kouga's den?" I asked
"Well that's just it. We didn't walk. We rode on kiklala's back. After we left the den. InuYasha announced that he had something else to do and told us to go ahead and to met him at keadas village." answered Sango.
"He went to met Kikyo. Didn't he?" I asked
"It seems that way. I sensed her nearby when we left." answered Mikoku
"I thought I smelled a flea bitten wolf. Or should I say wolfs now." replied InuYasha as he and Kikyo walked out of the forest line into the clearing we were standing in and walked right up to us.
"I thought I smelled a rotting corpse." Replied Kouga right back.
It was when they got closer that I noticed the fresh bite mark on Kikyos neck. That is when it hit me InuYasha must of mated with her and marked her last night. That is why he told the others to go ahead of him yesterday so he and Kikyo could mate.
"I see you and Kouga haven't mated yet because you don't yet bare his mark on your neck. There may be hope for you yet. Maybe there is still time for you to my mate also. You can be my second mate. You can be the one to bare my children since Kikyo can't. Yes that sounds good. Then I can have you both." Said InuYasha. I couldn't believe those thoughts were running around in his head. Much less those words came out of his mouth. Did InuYasha really expect me to become his second mate! I DON'T THINK SO!
At InuYasha remark. Kouga let out a loud growl baring his fangs and clenched his claws ready to attack InuYasha for even thinking those thoughts about his future mate. But I put my hand up signaling for Kouga to wait and I went up to InuYasha and looked straight at him staring him down as I said " I would rather die a thousand deaths then become your second mate! The mere sound of it makes me sick!"
At that I turned around and took a few steps forward till I was standing in front of Kouga as he wrapped his arms around me from behind me.
"Besides the only reason Kouga and I haven't mate yet is because wolves have customs and pride. We don't go out and screw the first bitch we see like you did." I replied as I relished in the feel of Kouga arms wrapped protecting around me as I spoke to InuYasha and his mate. If you could call that thing a mate.
Then as a after thought I added "You know InuYasha you remind me of a dog I had once as a pet. Every time something died near our house that damn dog would go and drag the dead rotting corpse into the yard. And for days he would play with that dead thing and drag it everywhere. I swear that dog loved that dead disgusting rotting corpse more then he did me. And it seems like I was correct in that matter. I guess all dogs are alike. They can't handle a real women so they go find a dead one."
This must of angered Kikyo because she walked straight up to me and looked me straight in the eye and said "You better watch your back."
And without missing a beat I looked straight back at her dead in the eye and said "You should stop spending so much time on yours."
(AN: I just have to say Oh BURN! LOL!)
At my comeback to Kikyos remark. I looked around and noticed everyone had a shocked look on their face. Like they couldn't believe I just said that. Even Kouga looked shocked that his future mate was brave enough to say that but his shock soon wore off and was replaced with a look of pride and joy. He was actually proud of his mate.
"Come on Kikyo lets go. She just jealous because you're the real thing and she is just a copy." Said InuYasha as he grabbed Kikyos arm and started to lead her away.
"You don't know how wrong you are InuYasha. I am not jealous because I have nothing to be jealous about. I am the original and that Kikyo is just a cold dead imitation of the real kikyo. Think about it. I have almost all of my soul and that Kikyo is just a empty cold clay doll that just looks like the real Kikyo. The only reason she is living if that is what you call it is because she stole part of my soul and is living off of others souls. Think about it InuYasha what was the real Kikyo like? The real Kikyo was kind, caring and compassionate right?" I asked as InuYasha just gave me a small nod.
"Then tell me does this Kikyo act anything like the Kikyo you remember before you got sealed to the tree? This Kikyo steals other souls and devourers them. That is worse then killing someone because at least when someone get killed their souls will live on and travel into the afterlife. But that Kikyo devourers them. She destroys them. Would the Kikyo you used to know do something so horrible as that?" I asked.
I looked at InuYasha and could swear I seen the wheels turning in his head. As he thought about the words I had just said. I knew InuYasha knew I was right. InuYasha never had a chance to grieve the death of Kikyo and he just couldn't come to terms with her death. So he just convinced himself that this dead cold thing was Kikyo so he wouldn't have to face the unavoidable truth that she was dead and she wasn't coming back. And nothing would change that.
"InuYasha the Kikyo you knew and loved is dead and this thing just looks like Kikyo but she isn't. Just like I look like Kikyo but I am not. My name is Kagome. Ka-go-me and I am a high school student and a miko and soon to be mate of the wolf prince Kouga. And this cold dead thing is just a shell that wonders the earth and devourers souls like a demon would. Kikyo is dead and it is time you come to terms with that InuYasha." as I said those last words I swore I saw a tear roll down InuYasha cheek but he quickly wiped it away.
"You're right. I knew she wasn't the real Kikyo but I just couldn't or wouldn't let go. I missed and loved her so much that I was just grasping at straws. I thought if I just kept believing that she was Kikyo that somehow it would come true. I need some time alone to deal with this. And I am past due to visit someone's grave." InuYasha said and at that he turned and at incredible speed sped off into the distance.
The dead cold shell just gave me a angry glare and turned and walked off into the distance in the same direction that InuYasha left.
After that Kouga and I bid my friends goodbye and with my directions Kouga picked me up and we jumped into the well. Before we hit the bottom of the well a blue light engulfed and surrounded us. But as soon as the light appeared it disappeared in the same matter.
Then with myself still in Kougas strong muscular arms he jumped once again out of the well this time and landed beside the well in our shed.
"This is your home?" Asked Kouga as he looked around the shed confused. I couldn't help but giggle at his question.
"No this is a shed. This is my home." I said as I slid back the doors of the shed to reveal my house in all it's glory shining in the bright morning light.
When Kouga saw my house his eyes got as big as saucers and they practically bugged out of his head. "Kagome your family must be very wealthy to have a hut this big." Kouga said as he took a couple of step out of the shed.
I just giggled again and said "Well my family isn't wealthy. But thank you for your compliment." I said as I took his hand and led him towards the house.
We came in the back door of the house and I took off my shoes and told Kouga to do the same as I announced myself by yelling my famous "Mom, grandpa, Souta I'm home."
Just then my grandpa came to the doorway and yelled "Demons be gone!" as he threw his useless sutras at Kouga and myself. But Kouga being the protective and loving mate his is. He jumped in front of me in a protective matter to shield me from my grandpa useless attempts.
"Kagome do you know this man?" Asked Kouga as he looked at grandpa with a raised eyebrow.
"Grandpa will you stop throwing those sutras at us. It's not like they work anyways. They might as well be confetti." I said as I stepped out from behind Kouga to show my grandpa that it was me.
"My child why are you dressed that way? And in the company of a wolf demon non the less." Asked Grandpa as he finally stopped the sutra attack.
Just then Souta joined the conversation as he came around the corner and noticed my clothes. "Whoa cool clothes sis. Hey who's this? Is he a demon like InuYasha?" asked Souta as he noticed Kouga behind me.
Just then my mother hearing all the commotion came to see what all the big deal was came around the corner.
"Kagome I am glad your home and I see you have a visitor and your taste in fashion has changed too." Said my mom as she noticed Kouga and my new outfit.
"Everyone calm down. This is Kouga and he is a wolf demon and if you back up and let us breath we can all go into the living room and I will explain everything." I said and at that request I took Kougas hand and led him into the living room and we sat down on the couch while grandpa took a seat on one of the recliners and my mom took a seat in her rocking chair and Souta took a seat on his usual spot on the floor in front of the tv by his video game system. He must have been playing video games when we came home because the tv screen was paused in the middle of a game.
For the next 15 minutes I explained everything from what happened the day I went back to the feudal era with Kudo to just this morning.
"So is mating the same as getting married?" asked my mother.
"Uh kinda. It's just that mating is more permant. Wolfs mate for life. And if one of us shall die the other one will to." I tried to explain.
"And exactly how old are you Kouga?" asked my mom.
"I am actually very young myself. I am 241 years old." replied Kouga. Apparently my mom, grandpa and Souta were surprised at his answer.
"But Kagome is only sixteen. She doesn't have the same lifespan as you." Pointed out my mother.
"You see when Kagome and I mate I will mark her and when a wolf demon bites his mate to mark her some of his demon powers are transferred to his mate and from then on Kagome will have the same lifespan as myself. When wolfs mate they mate for life. And during the mating and marking process two souls become one so if one of us shall die the other one will too because they are one in the same." explained Kouga.
"Kagome are you happy? And are you sure this is what you want?" asked my mother.
"Yes I am very happy and I am absolutely sure this is what I want. I want more then anything to become Kougas mate and have our pups and spend eternity with him." I answered
"Well if your happy and you are sure then I'm happy for you. You have my blessing." said my mother as she got up and gave me a hug.
"Sweet I am going have a wolf demon for a brother in law! This is so awesome!" yelled Souta as he jumped up and pumped his fist into the air.
"I just got done cooking breakfast so if you two are hungry come get a seat in the dining room." replied my mother as she went into the kitchen to start serving the food.
So I led Kouga to the table and sat him beside me and there sat out on the table was eggs, Bacon, sausage links, and pancakes. And to drink was either orange juice or milk.
But I could tell by the confused look on Kougas face that he had never saw any of this food before. But of course he is from the feudal era so he wouldn't of.
So I made his plate for him. I put plenty of bacon and sausage on his plate and put one egg and one pancake so he could at least try it to see if he liked it. And filled his glass up with milk because I though orange juice would be too sweet for him.
"This is meat that comes from a animal called a pig. You might like it so at least try it." I said as I pointed to the bacon and sausage that was on his plate. And started to fill my own plate.
Throughout breakfast it was hard to not laugh as Kouga attempted to try the food on his plate. He first would eye the food as if he expected it to move and then he would nibble on it with his face all scrunched up like a kid taking his medicine and then his face would light up when the taste hit his taste buds and he actually realized that the strange food from the future didn't taste half bad.
After breakfast I cleared off the table, washed the dishes and put them away as my mom went outside to tend to her garden, my grandpa sat at the table and read the newspaper and Souta dragged Kouga into the living room and attempted to teach him how to play video games.
After I got done putting the dishes away. I peaked in on Souta and Kouga and they seemed to be really into the video game they were playing and I hated to break that up so I decided to let them play so I decided to go upstairs and take a bath.
After a half a hour of soaking in the tub. I decided it was time to get out so I wrapped a towel around my body and walked down the hall to my bedroom but when I went into my room and turned on the light I was so shocked to see Kouga lying on my bed looking at me that I let out a little eep and accidentally dropped my towel reveling all of myself to him.
When I accidentally dropped my towel. Kougas eyes got big as he looked at my naked form. This is the first time he has seen me without clothes on in full daylight. And apparently he liked what he saw because he got this big perverted smile on his face and I quickly bent down and picked up my towel and wrapped it around me again.
"Man I should surprise you more often. If that is the reaction I get." Said Kouga as he got up off my bed and gave me a small quick kiss.
"That was a accident pure and simple." I said as I went to my dresser and proceeded to pick out my clothes for today.
I picked out my hot pink halter top and black mini skirt and my black high heeled strapped sandals. And then I went into my walk in closet and closed the door so I could get dressed without Kouga watching me.
"So how do I look?" I asked Kouga as I walked out of my closet fully clothed.
"You look beautiful. But then again you always look beautiful no matter what you wear." Said Kouga.
"Thank you honey." I replied as I went up to him and leaned up to give him a quick peck on the lips but then again Kouga had other plans and he went and put his hand on the back of my head and pulled my head up to deepen the kiss and soon I felt this tongue run along my lower lip asking for permission and I happily agreed and opened my mouth to grant him entrance. And as Kouga was distracting me with his tongue exploring my mouth he very gently pushed me down onto my bed without breaking the kiss and soon I found us on my bed with Kouga leaning over me straddling me as we continued to make out. I was so engrossed in Kouga that I didn't realize that Kougas wondering hands was roaming all over my body and one hand had found its way under the shirt and bra and rested on my unclothed breast and the other hand was trying to unzip my skirt. I didn't realize this until Kouga almost had my skirt all the way unzipped so I forced myself to break away from our kiss even though that was the last thing I wanted to do and said "Kouga we have got to stop."
"Why? You met my pack and I have met your family and we got their blessings from both so the next step is the mating and marking." Said Kouga as he continued to kiss his way from my mouth all the way down to my neck to where I would soon bare his mark.
"I know baby and believe me I would love to mate with you right here and now. But we are in my families house in the middle of the day and my door isn't locked. I would prefer to wait until tomorrow when we get home to our pack before we mate that way we won't have to worry about anyone hearing us or catching us." I said explaining it to him.
Then I heard him sigh and say "Yeah your right. I just can't wait till I make you my mate. But I guess I can wait one more day."
"I promise you baby. It will be well worth the wait." I said as I playfully pushed him off of me and jumped up onto my feet.
I could still see he was disappointed so I decided to do the one thing that would put a smile back on that handsome face of his.
"Hey to make it up to you. Do you want to go with me to the store? And I will buy you all of the summer sausage and beef jerky you want. Except the jalapeño flavor you know what happened last time." I said grinning at him.
"Yeah could we!" said Kouga as he jumped up with a big grin plastered on his face.
My wolf sure likes his jerky. I thought as I saw him practically bouncing off the walls ready to go.
"But wait you can't go to the store with me looking like that." I said and at that I told Kouga to stay in my room and I went into the attic and got into a box of my dads old clothes and I picked out a nice black t-shirt and black dress pants and a pair of tena shoes.
When I came back to the room I saw Kouga standing by my window looking out into the back yard. "Here these should fit." I said as I laid the clothes on my bed.
"What's wrong with my clothes?" asked Kouga
"Nothing. It's just people are not accustomed to seeing a wolf demon in my era." I said as Kouga walked over to me and I helped him get undressed but let the fur wrapping covering his lower half on and I helped him get dressed in the clothes I picked out since he had no idea of how to put this strange clothes on.
Then just as I was explaining to Kouga how to put on the black dress pants on I heard Souta yell from downstairs "Kagome you have got a phone call."
"Who is it?" I yelled back.
"Some guy named Hojo." yelled Souta back but I noticed when he said some guy Kouga ears perked up.
Oh great not Hojo. How did he know I was back in town. I wondered as I yelled back to Souta that I was going to pick up the phone in my room.
So I turned my back to Kouga so I wouldn't see him undress himself to put on his pants and I went over to my cordless phone on my desk and picked it up.
"Hello this is Kagome." I said as I heard Souta hang up on the other end.
"Hi Kagome. This is Hojo. I overheard my dad talking to your grandpa over the phone that you were back in town." said Hojo with joy in his voice.
Oh darn it! I forgot that grandpa and Hojo's dad were good friends. Grandpa must of told his dad that I was back in town. Too bad he forgot to mention I had a fiancée now.
"I was wondering if you would like to go out for dinner and a movie tonight?" Asked Hojo
"I got other plans tonight." I said not wanting to hurt his feelings.
"Well are you busy now? Maybe we could meet somewhere and go out for a bite to eat or something?" Asked Hojo with desperation in his voice.
"Well actually I'm busy right now. I am planning to pick up a couple of things at the store…." I said but I was cut off before I could finish by Hojo saying "Okay I'll meet you at the store." and then he hung up before I could get another word out.
I just let out a big sigh as I hung up the phone. Now is it just me or is Hojo sounding more desperate? I thought to myself.
"Who was that baby?" Asked Kouga as he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his hands on my tiny thin tight stomach which one day would hold our pups.
"Oh it is just this guy from my school. Who is trying desperately for me to be his girlfriend." I said but when I saw Kouga's confused face I explained. "Girlfriend is a another word for mate." But Kouga just growled at that. Apparently wolves are very jealous and possessive and don't appreciate another male sniffing around his female.
"I'll kill him!" Said Kouga as he growled low in his voice.
"No you won't. There will no killing while we are in my era." I said as I twirled around in his arms and placed a hand on each side of his face.
"Okay I won't kill but can I at least mame?" Kouga asked
"No. There will be no killing, maiming or physical harm of any type while we are in my era. Agreed?" I asked looking straight into his eye and giving him the look that said do not argue with me on this subject.
So he reluctantly agreed but did happen to mention that if this Hojo tried anything that he was going to do something about it.
So after I showed Kouga how to put on his shoes we went and told my mother where we were going and we were off to the store. But darning the whole walk. Bombarded me with a thousand questions. It was like I was talking to a child. But then again I could blame him because the world sure did change a lot since the feudal era. So I tried to keep up and answered all of the questions he had to the best of my ability.
Finally after about a thousand questions later we reached the store and Kouga was amazed at the grocery store. He was like a kid in a candy store and was amazed at all the food.
"It must of taken forever to gather this much fruits and vegetables." commented Kouga as we passed through the produce area of the store. If Kouga was amazed at the produce area then where I was taking him would blow his socks off. Cause I led him over to the deli section.
When he saw all that juicy raw meat of every kind laid out behind the glass case I thought he had gone insane. He was staring at the meat like it was the most wondrous sight he ever saw and he started to drool.
"Who ever was able to hunt all this meat. I want to go hunting with them next time." Kouga joked as he kept eyeing all the wonderful raw meat.
"Kouga since you are a expert at meat. What do you suggest we get to have for supper tonight? Tonight the whole town is having a celebration and are shooting off fireworks so I thought I would get something to bar-b-que tonight. Of course we won't cook your piece if you don't want us to." I explained.
As Kouga looked through the glass case. It looked like he was having a hard time of choosing. Because he kept looking back and forth between five different kinds but soon he settled on one.
"How about this one?" Said Kouga as he pointed out the steaks.
"Good eye Kouga. Steaks do sound good." I said as I ordered ten of the steaks. I was sure to order extra just in case.
Then Kouga and I headed on to the aisle that held the jerky and summer sausage. And boy did Kouga go to town buying it. He got at least three of every flavor except the jahoapinos and got at least ten rolls of summer sausage. So by the time we got done we had our cart over flowing with jerky, summer sausage and steaks. Every wolfs dream huh.
So we paid for our purchase and put them in my backpack so we wouldn't have to carry the bags. As we walked out of the store I was glad that we didn't run into Hojo there but just as I thought that who else spotted us on the sidewalk but Hojo.
"Kagome! Kagome! Hey wait up!" Yelled Hojo as he ran up to us and started walking with us. Just thank god Kouga was on my right while Hojo was on my left so I could be between the two.
"Oh Hi Hojo." I said as I gave him a friendly smile but Kouga did anything but that when he heard that this man was Hojo the one that was pursuing his mate so all Kouga did was let out a low deep growl.
"Hi Kagome how was your trip?" asked Hojo as we walked along.
"My trip was good. Very eventful." I answered but just as I answered him without notice he want and grabbed my hand to hold it. I just yanked back my hand as if I had touched a hot stove and Kouga noticed this and man did he explode because just as he was about to take a swing at Hojo. I put one hand up to stop his arm from taking a swing and placed another hand on his cheek.
"Please let me kill him." asked Kouga in a low voice. Low enough so no one else could hear except us two.
"No Kouga." I simply answered.
"But Kagome he made a pass at my you my future mate. In wolf society I am allowed to kill him for his actions." Explained Kouga.
"But Kouga you have to make a exception here because he doesn't know I am your future mate. You can't kill him for something that is just a misunderstanding." I pleaded with Kouga.
"Alright but I am just doing this because you asked me to. But if he messes up one more time he can kiss his life goodbye." said Kouga as he gave me a long hard kiss as if he was branding me as his. As if he wanted to leave his mark and doing this in front of another male meant he was sending a message that I was his and no one else's.
Hojo seemed to receive that message loud and clear because in a hurt voice he asked "Kagome who is this?"
I just took Kougas hand in mine and answered "Kouga is my fiancée." But after I said that I explained to him fiancée means that you are my future mate.
Hojo just looked at us in shock and finally said "But But Kagome he can't be your fiancée."
"Ummm excuse me! The last time I checked I was under the expression I could make my own choices especially when it comes to who I marry!" I yelled. I was pissed off! How dare Hojo tell me who I can and cannot marry!
"But you were promised to me." Whined Hojo
"I made no such promise." I explained
"You didn't but your grandpa did." Explained Hojo
"Hold on what the heck are you talking about?" I asked getting a little nervous as to the answer.
"When I was two months old. You were born and the day you were born my dad and your grandpa made a deal and your grandpa promised your hand in marriage to me." Said Hojo
I couldn't believe my ears. Because if I heard him right this had better be a joke because if it isn't I am going to break my own rule and kill someone! He had to be joking. But the expression on Hojo's face told me this was no joke.
I couldn't believe my grandpa had me in a arranged marriage and to Hojo of all people. But I didn't care because I wasn't going to marry Hojo not now not ever. I don't care if I have to run away to the feudal era and never come back. Because I am Kougas mate and no one else's. I just stood there in shock as Kouga held me in his strong tight muscular arms and he leaned down and whispered in my ear.
"I love you Kagome and we will be together no matter what." and with those words I gave him a long lingering kiss.
Authors Note: So here is another cliffy. So how is that for a shocker! Hojo and Kagome had a arranged marriage! No wonder Hojo wouldn't leave her alone. Actually this chapter was supposed to be quite boring and just a filler until the next chapter but when I started writing it took on a life of it's own and this is what came out of my head and down onto paper. So please please please review and tell me what you think!
