:D
--------------------------------------------
Before bidding a farewell to his village, Kohaku recieved a more comfortable outfit than the one he had been so used to. The old man and woman who he had been staying with offered it to him as a farewell present. He gladly accepted, finding the change in clothes rather refreshing. It was an outift simliar to InuYasha's, except it was a dark grey with a black belt in the mddle, holding up the pants.
When he had awaken from his unconscious state a week earlier, he had had a metal weapon attatched to his side. It was shaped like a large fang, and for a moment, he wondered what he was doing with such a weapon.
After practicing with it, he realized that he must have been some kind of slayer before his amnesia.
With it also by his side, Kohaku began to practice with it, realizing that he was fairly decent. He had good agility also, which also led to him to think that he was a slayer. If a demon attacked, he believed he would have a fair chance of survival, as long as he continued to practice. The wind began to blow fiercely. Winter would be arriving soon. His short dark hair was thrown all around, the wind taking control of it. He wrinkled his freckled nose, becoming chilled.
"I don't even know where I'm going," he grumbled, still walking, the night moon glistening, almost blinding him. But he would not allow himself to be coddled in that village. He needed to be on his own, to grow up.
"Even if I am just eleven, I feel so much older."
An image of a young woman suddenly popped into his mind. His eyes widened. 'That woman, who is she?' She held a small smile, and she had long, black hair.
'Why do I feel like I'm supposed to know her?'
As if on cue, a loud noise was heard. He spun around and saw a tree being tossed his direction. His eyes widened, and he quickly evaded it. A very large demon was slowly making its way in his direction. It appeared to be as least 10 ft tall, and resembled nothing short of an ogre. Apparently, it was looking for something, not even concerned with Kohaku at the moment. At the blink of an eye, a red blur dashed past the demon, almost too fast to even be traced. When it finally stopped, it was a littler boy, who looked no older than eight.
He had fiery red hair, and little feet that resembled that of a fox. His eyes were emerald, and they haulted on Kohaku. "Don't just stand there! Help me get rid of this guy!" He was obviously in a trance, and the little boy had knocked him out of it. He nodded, and ran by the red headed boy's side.
"Why is this thing even after you?" The boy crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air. "I stole some of his food." Kohaku gasped.
"You're a thief!?"
"I was hungy, and he didn't need all of it!"
Hearing the demon charged toward them interrupted their little quarrel. They quickly jumped opposite directions, confusing the ogre. "You distract him, and I'll finish the job!" Kaohaku whispered to the little boy. He nooded, and ran and jumped on the demon's back! He bit into his shoulder roughly, his fangs piercing the ogre's skin.
It wailed in pain, and reached for the little boy, but failed miserably, for he had jumped off and shouted "Fox fire!" He sent green flames pummeling toward it, achieving in setting the dmeon on fire. Its wails grew, and that's when Kohaku jumped in the air and swung his chain around its neck, severing its head. Its body tumbled to the ground, the severed head following it. The little boy brightenend and ran to Kohaku.
"Thanks a bunch! Here, we can split the food as a reward."
He took out a handfull of dried meat and placed it in Kohaku's hand, grinning. Kohaku smiled.
'I am kinda hungry..'
"I'm Kohaku! What's your name anyways?"
"My name is Shippo!"

The sun was gleaming through her closed eyelids, forcing her to open them. A waterfall could be heard in the distance. Her forehead was soaked with sweat, and she felt nauseous. Her body felt weak and she felt flimsy. Her body felt sticky, as it was also covered with a thin film of sweat. Something was poking her. she slowly sat upm realizing she was laying in a hay stack. She gasped and quickly looked around, her eyes meeting nothing more than a cave.
'Where am I? And how did I get here?'
Her question was answered a second later. A young man walked into the entrance of the cave, his amazing blue eyes landing on her. Kagome's jaw dropped, his familiar face startling her. He had lengthy dark brown hair, which was tied up into a ponytail, and still cascaded down his back. He was covered ni some sort of fur, which looked simliar to that of a wolf. A grin landed on his lips when he saw that the beautiful girl had awakened. "About time you got up!" He said and plopped down beside her.
"K-Koga?" she whispered, leaning forward to fully examine him. He raised a brow in curiousity. "How you know my name? Wait, have we met? You do look familiar," he said softly, rubbing his chin in thought. She grinned and shoved her arms around him, embracing him into a hug. "It's so good to see you!" she said excitedly. Honestly, it was good to see anyone back from their era. His cheeks turned a faint shade of scarlet, but he embraced her back.
'I could defiantly get used to this.'
She pulled back, and a sudden thought hit her mind. "Wait, why am I here?" He stood, stretching his muscles. "I brought you here, priestess! You are the guardian of the sacred jewel, thus you must be my wife!" A huge sweat drop fell from the side of her head.
'He's still the same, even 500 years in the past.'
Not even bothering to argue, she also stood. "By the way, my name is Kagome, incase you didn't remember."
He gazed at her, that name setting off many alarms before. "How do I know you?" he asked softly, moving closer to her. "It's a pretty long and boring story," she said quickly, backing away. "Now, can I at least run and to the hot springs?"
He smirked. "Fine, fine, Ka-go-me. But you better return!" She chuckled, happy to be reunited with her friend. He dug behind the hay and handed her a long, white haori. "Here, you're current attire is filthy. I borrowed this from a fellow female wolf demon. It's clean." She nodded, clutching in her hands and scurried off to the hot springs. She glanced around, making sure she was alone, and quickly disposed of her priestess outfit and sank into the warm springs.
'I wonder why InuYasha hasn't come looking for me.'
Her brows furrowed in irritation, thinking back to that petty arguement they had, but her eyes softened.
'Either way, I sure do miss him. Maybe he needs a break...'

"Where the hell is she? I turn my back on her for a second, and she disappears!" InuYasha yelled in frustration, searching for his priestess all night. A sleepy Miroku and Sango sat on a tired Kirara, as they all helped look for their friend. InuYasha continued to slice down trees, his anger increasing. But it was no longer fury he was feeling, it was worry.
"I have to find her," he whispered softly, clutching his fists tightly. "Maybe we should rest for a while, InuYasha, and regain our strength," Miroku suggested, stifffling a yawn. "He's right, InuYasha, we've been at this all night. If we don't get some sleep, we're going to collapse form exhaustion," Sango chipped in. The hanyou sighed, knowing full well his companions were human, and did need their rest.
"You guys head back home, I'll continue to look for her."
"But InuYasha-"
"No buts," he grumbled.
"I need to find her..I can't sleep until she's back in my arms." Sango sighed in defeat. "Alright, but please be safe," Miroku said softly, as they turned around, heading back to their hut. InuYasha continued, his heart aching more and more from his time without his future wife.
'Where have you gone, Kagome?'
"All of this because of that stupid arguement," he grumbled to himself, racing from tree limb to tree limb. His expression saddened.
'If I could just hold you in my arms once more, I promise I won't let go, you silly girl. Just come back to me, please.'
As if the Kami had spared his request, the faint scent of his love reached his nose.
His eyes widened in shock.
'I'm coming Kagome!'

After her long soak in the hot springs, the beautiful maiden slowly got out, squeezing her wet hair, fully nude. She stretched and closed her eyes, yawning.
"Kagome!"
Before she realized what was happening, she saw a red blur in front of her, and felt two strong arms wrap around her naked figure. Her cheeks reddened, realizing her situation. She saw the long , silver hair over the man's shoulder, and realized it was her mate.
"InuYasha," she whispered.
'Thank Kami she's alright.'
"I'll never let you out of my sight again."
He held her arms length, ready to pour his heart out to her, to tell her how much he loved her, how sorry he was for everything.
That is, until he saw her body, and how unusually bare it was. His eyes wandered all over her, taking in each curve, each detail. He felt the saliva building up in the corner of his mouth, and felt his lower region tugging at his pants.
"K-Kagome.."
She felt his eyes burning her, and her cheeks turned scarlet. Where was that damn haori? She scanned her eyes for it, and found it not too far away.
Trying to get away, she made a run for her haori. The hanyou grabbed her wrist, and held her back, lightly shoving her against a nearby rock wall.
"I- InuYasha, what are you-"
He smashed his lips against hers' planning on taking her right there. Kagome subconsciously replied, nibbling on his bottom lip. His hands began to move down, anxious to touch those breasts that he'd been ogling for so long. God, he needed her. His urges were becoming overwhelming.
He began to kiss her neck, sucking and nibbling on it slightly. She tossed her head back and a moan escaped her lips.
Her arousal was much stronger than usual, and that's when he realized it.
'She wants this as much as I do.'
With that piece of knowledge, he no longer felt the need to hold back. Her moans were escalating into something more, and it was driving him insane. He was seconds away from cupping her in his hand.
Before he could go any further, however, a loud voice erupted, intruding on their moment.
"What the hell are you doing to my Kagome!?" Koga screamed, his eyes turning into slits at the hanyou.
