(Chapter 21)
(Uzako's P.O.V)
I had a feeling that Amu and Kouga would be back soon, but i had a feeling they wouldn't be back to us just yet. My ears swiveled above my head to laughter that filled the air. Picking my head i looked up just as Kagome stepped back in along with Sesshomaru. I watched as his stoic mask slipped back over his emotions. I snorted and he glanced my way and i caught the small smile he sent me before it disappeared. Amu's pack was still very confusing sometimes but i was getting used to it...Plus it wasn't hard to tell when a pack mate has begun to court someone.
I felt a tension fill the hut and then a cough. Looking to where the cough came it appeared both Luka and Kaede were uncomfortable also by the change in mood. Kagome had her head down as Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were giving each other death glares. Weren't they over this already i thought they'd made up over there brotherly feud,but then it dawned on me, this was over Kagome. I'd heard a bit from one of Amu's and Kagome's conversation to know the situation between her and Inuyasha.
I was about to speak up when Inuyasha stormed out of the room cursing under his breath.I looked to Kagome who looked upset over this, while Sesshomaru tried to console her. I growled under my breath and tried something i hadn't done. Closing my eyes and concentrating like i saw Amu do all the time, i felt my fur retract and my bones shift. i blew the silver-black tipped bangs out of my face and stormed out after him.
"Hey Inuyasha!" I yelled out.
He grunted ahead of me not even casting me a glance. Frowning i sped forward and spun him around. Picking him up by the front of his haori, i pushed him up against the nearest wall and sneered at him.
"Fucking listen when someones talking to you." I hissed out
"What the fuck do you want flea bag" he growled back
"Don't you fucking dare call me a flea bag you damn asshole. Get your damn head out of your ass and take a good look at what you've been doing these past few years to Kagome. Think real hard now and tell me if you really have the damn fucking right to be throwing a stupid ass sissy fit when she finally has decided to move the fuck on." I snapped back watching as his ears drooped
"...she said she'd always stay by my side.." He said softly
"And hasn't she? from what i see your pretty damn lucky she hasn't left your ass already with the way you can't fucking decide between a dead corpse who roams this earth and a beautiful female whose stayed by your damn side through thick and thin. She's cried her heart out for, and if you can't be fucking happy for her then i don't know what she or Amu see in you. " I said dropping him and storming back to the hut.
"Damn it all" i heard him mutter under his breath
(Kagome's P.O.V)
I knew Inuyasha wouldn't be happy at first, but to be this upset over my choice to be courted by Sesshomaru it hurt. Sesshomaru had pulled me close when i started to shake, i wasn't sure if it was from being upset or being angry but either way it helped calm me down. I heard a growl and snapped my head up thinking Inuyasha had came back but my eyes widened when Uzako transformed into a human and stormed out of the hut yelling after Inuyasha. I knew this might not end pretty if he decided to fight Inuyasha so i stepped from Sesshomaru and motioned him to stay. He didn't look happy but nodded.
Stepping out i passed a fuming Uzako who was heading back to the hut and looked in the direction he was coming from. I sighed when i saw Inuyaha leaning against a tree, his hand across his face.I crouched down in front of him and grabbed his his attention from his monotone 'what am i doing?'
"Inuyasha, i won't say sorry for moving on. We both knew we wouldn't stay the way we were forever. Somewhere deep inside I always knew even if you did choose me you wouldn't get over Kikyo. I don't want to be a reminder of your past lover. I knew this and finally gave up. Inuyasha you need someone who won't remind you of your past. Someone who you can accept completely. I know i am not her for you but i can be for him. I'll never abandon you Inuyasha. Your my friend, the first person I met when i came to this time. I'd never leave you behind. I am still by your side and so are our friends. Your not alone Inuyasha remember that." I smiled gently at him and moved to stand
"Thank you..." I heard him whisper as he looked up at me.
I smiled down at him and reached out my hand to help him up. He huffed at my out reached hand and stood up himself. I laughed as we headed back, he'd never change.
When we reached the hut i moved to sit beside Sesshomaru who smiled at me slightly coiling and arm around my waist. I watched as Inuyasha plopped next to Uzako and they went to laughing over something. Looking around I noticed Miroku and Sango disappearance and was about to question where they disappeared to since they were here before i left but they walked in just as i moved to speak.
"Are ye really sure ye must be going so soon?" Kaede said as she walked in behind them.
"Yes we really should be heading out to my old village. A lot is needed to be done there and I'd really like to get started on it." Sango said sadly
"If ye insist, I wish the two of ye a safe journey there." Kaede said before stepping back out someone having called for her outside.
"Leaving Already?" I said disappointingly standing up to hug her and Miroku
"I'm afraid so but i'll be sure to get back to you guys soon. I really wish to see my brother 'll always be sisters Kagome" She said embracing me
"Of course... I'll miss having you around Sango. I'll see you guys off" I said walking out with them. the others falling close behind.
Once we got to the edge of the village i smiled sadly at them. Petting Kirara on her head I watched as Luka whispered something to them before telling them to take care and smiled when i saw Sesshomaru make an attempt to say beside Uzako and Inuyasha I smiled as Shippo walked up them and hugged them. When he stepped back toward me i moved forward and hugged them both.
"Take care of yourselves you hear me." i said softly trying not to cry, this wasn't goodbye after all.
"We will lady our goodbyes to Amu and Kouga for us." He said making me laugh always the honorific
"Will do."I said waving as they took off on Kirara.
We were about to head back when Shippo suddenly shouted Amu's name and rushed into the forest.I was about to call out to him to wait but Luka suddenly sent out some type of technique like Sesshomaru's poisonous whip but it was fire and watched it take hold of Shippo. He was brought back to us and dropped into my arms. We both cast him a confused look.
"I'd suggest to leave them alone for a bit believe me you wouldn't want to walk in on them glad neither of your sense of smell is as strong like ours..." he trailed off scrunching up his.
It finally dawned on me what he meant and I felt my face heat up immensely. I heard Uzako chuckle at what was probably from my reaction. I felt my face heat up even more upon Shippos questioning and hid my face into his tail. Which of course caused 4 sets of laughter as we walked back to the village.
(Amu's p.o.v)
3 days after our arrival back from the test we were finally going to be heading back to Kaede's village.I stretched my arms above my head at the entrance of the cave not really caring my furs were disheveled.I nearly yelled out when someone suddenly encased me in their arms and latched on my neck placing kisses here and there. Taking advantage of the fact that my mating mark on my neck was my erogenous zone. Growling lightly at his antics, i stepped forward knowing clear well i was at the edge moments ago i dropped down from the mouth of the cave.
I screamed from the thrill of the fall before flipping into a nearby tree. I couldn't help but smile when i heard Kouga yell my name from above as i was falling. And so when he finally reached me i couldn't contain my laughter anymore and let it forth my sides hurting by the time i was done. Wiping away the tears that had escaped I looked up towards him and saw he was giving me a glare. Smiling, i stuck my tongue out at him.
"That's what you get. I told you i wanted to leave today and meet up with the others" I said walking past him making sure my tail circled around him and hit him gently on the nose. "Come on love its time to go."
"yea yeah i heard you, you little minx" I heard him mutter behind me.
Securing my breast plate and cloak i strapped the dingy shape shifting sword-scythe to my side.I tied my long hair up into a high ponytail and clasped my necklace back to Kouga I blushed when i noticed he had no clothes on again. you'd think id be used to that after 3 days but nope he surprised me every time. I felt my mind leading to different places and quickly shook my head.
"Kouga...i thought i said to get ready...not to strip down.." I barked out
"What do you mean i am getting ready. you didn't notice me like this earlier?" He said with his signature smirk on his face
"Y..y...you mean you w..walked up to me at the mouth of the cave...and then you chased after me without any clothes on!" My whole face flamed up... what if someone saw us... i crouched down and I knew my face was crimson now.
"I don't know if i should be insulted you didn't notice or pleased that you've gotten used to me being this way" He said close...when did he get that close to me! My eyes widened as i noticed how close he was and then my gaze shifted lower...
"KOUGA! get dressed already!" I yelled as i ran out of the cave full speed, though i still heard him laughing from inside.
(Kagome's P.o.V)
We were still waiting for Amu and Kouga come to us. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to explain to little Shippo why he couldn't go looking for them when he knew they were other 4 guys weren't much help but at least after they sensed they were back in the area it seemed they could no longer smell them. I was actually glad they weren't making any jokes or comments why it was taking so long like i knew most boys would do back in my time.
I noticed Uzakos ears atop his head swivel and suddenly a fur ball rush past my view out the door. I wondered if they were finally back and it seemed i was right because the other too stood up and Luka was the first out the door. Standing up with the help of Sesshomaru i walked out of the hut hand in hand. It was nice that we were able to do this at first I thought i was silly when i had wanted to hold his hand but he accepted my request wholeheartedly and surprisingly he didn't mind at all.
I couldn't help but grin when Amu suddenly rushed forward and hugged us. You could pratically feel her happiness radiating off her which was contagious. Soon we were both jumping up and down, squealing out of nowhere in a comical matter.
"Oh kami when did this happen. Sesshomaru you sly dog, see you didn't need my help. Congratulations I'm happy for you two can't wait till your finally mates!" She said after we finally stopped jumping causing me to blush.
"I do not know about being a sly dog or not having need of your help but thank you imoto" Sesshomaru said ruffling her once tied up hair.
"Hey!" She said laughing at the treatment, she really did look like their little sister in times like this.
"Inu you okay? No sad face right?" She said sending him a mischievous look before tackling him and tickling them both to bust up laughing and play fight.
A cough interrupted the fight and i couldn't help but laugh as Kouga tore her away from the play fight and carry her back to where they entered from.
"You no fun" She said childishly sticking her tongue out. She turned her head and before anyone could see what happened, he groaned softly and his knees buckled and she landed gracefully in front of him.
Another cough filled the air and all eyes turned to Luka who didn't seem to very much like seeing his daughter like this. Which i could understand since kids have a hard time picturing their parents doing that so its probably the same vice-versa.
"Sorry father.."she said stepping forward and embracing him which then led to a whole different type of moment of father daughter rough house though he was most likely letting her win. Since he's most definatley stronger in physical strength.
After the reunion we all settled down inside Kaede's hut, shippo sleeping peacefully between me and Sesshomaru. Uzako sat beside Amu though when she wasn't looking they'd send each other glares. Couldn't blame Kouga though since Amu's the only one who hasn't seen that Uzako is no longer a plain wolf but now he can shift like cleared his throat bringing all eyes to him.
"Pup I will be leaving tomorrow to look for your mother. You and your friends are welcome to come if you wish." He said
I looked towards Amu as she glanced up to Kouga who nodded before whispering in her ear. I glanced at Sesshomaru who leaned over and kissed my forehead before whispering that i could go with them if i wanted to and he'd take shippo with him back to the castle. He said that he'd allow me the last 2 days to think over my decision and he'd come for my answer then.
"I will be coming with you, Kouga said he'd meet up with us as soon as he can." I heard amu say as i turned my head back to the group.
"Have to check up on your pack is that right?" Luka said
"Yes so i'll leave her in your hands when you guys leave tomorrow" Kouga said pulling Amu closer at the same time, Luka merely nodded.
"I will accompany you guys if it is alright." i said looking to Luka he nodded
"Very well what about the rest of you?" He said looking to Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and Uzako.
"Keh can't get rid of me that easy old man." Inuyasha said smirking which caused Luka to laugh
"I'll be heading to the west. I'll be gone 2 days at least." Sesshoamru said from beside me grabbing my hand.
"Very well Sesshomaru, your soon to be mate will be in good hands. I'm sure my daughter won't leave her side." He said nodding he then looked to Uzako who closed his eyes and once again became human.
"U-uzako!?" Amu yelled quietly, startled falling into Kouga's lap .
"I will follow Amu till she says she no longer needs me." He said bowing his head much like a butler
"Is that really you?" Amu said moving closer to him .
I watched as she sat face to face with him. She first brought her hand up and poked his cheek making him laugh then she ran her fingers in his hair in aw and he laughed when she sneezed as his hair tickled her nose. The strange thing was she actually looked somewhat identical to him, they had the same eye color and height the only difference was his facial structure was more manlier and his shoulders were a bit broader. And his hair was silver with black tips and hers was black with pink highlights.
A growl pulled me from looking at them and stopped them from their laughter. Kouga looked ready to tackle Uzako and keep him away from Amu. Amu must have noticed because she rose from her spot and moved to sit in his lap her head turning slightly showing a bite mark where her neck met her shoulder. This act seemed to calm him as he nuzzled her neck and pulled her close. Uzako stood up and sat beside Inuyasha and Luka.
"I think that's enough for one night everyone, let's get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow." Luka said as he blew out the candle, kaede had left on when she walked into her room and shut the door behind her.
