Chapter 37: The Man Who Fell In Love With Hiroko!
...Hiroko's Point of View...
Koga told me to rest a while for some reason. And when I tried to protest he pushed me on the little spot where I guess it was supposed to be a bed and told me to anyway. I didn't protest further, knowing Koga is too stubborn.
...2 Hours Later...
"Hiroko,"Koga said. I woke up to see Koga-wait a second. I looked at his tail. It looked like Shippo's. Guess Shippo got voices down now for his disguises.
"Come on Mom don't make it look suspicious." I got up and Shippo took my arm and led me through the cave.
"Koga, where are you going with the human?" one of the Wolves asked.
"This woman needs some fresh air. This place stinks, and I don't think its the wolves," Shippo said.
That's my boy. I taught him to lie well.
Hey you'll never know when you'll need it with how the world is today.
So we continued walking and got to the egde of the waterfall when one of the wolves sniffed Shippo's tail and started growling. It can smell him to make sure he's Koga, why didn't I think of that?
"Damn," I muttered.
And as I thought, one of the wolves bit Shippo's tail and he transformed back.
"Ow that hurts!" he jumped into my arms and I grabbed one of their spears and ran out of the cave with Shippo.
I kept running until I got to the cliff-also the only way off of this place besides the river.
I threw Shippo and told him to find InuYasha and the others.
"O-okay!" so he flew away and I threw the spear at the feet of one of the wolves to keep them from throwing their weapons at Shippo. Suddenly a boar came down between me and the Wolves.
"How many times have I told you? No one eats the girl," Koga said jumping down to me.
She risked her life to save her son. She's a loyal mother, Koga thought.
"Well of course I'm a loyal mother! Why wouldn't I protect my own son?" I had my hands on my hips.
"Wait, you can read minds too?"
"Yes I can. But only certain thoughts. They just come to me so I can't read them when I want to.""
"I'm gonna make you my woman," Koga said, putting both his hands on his hips.
"Excuse me?" I said.
"But Koga she's weak. And she's human," one of his Wolves said.
"Idiots. This girl can see the sacred jewel shards. With her ability we'll be able to find all the sacred jewel shards in the region," Koga explained. I heard agreements from the Wolves. Koga walked up to me and put his arm around my waist. "Just so you know Hiroko, Wolf Demons mate for life so you're mine now. Got that?"
I am pissed now. Nobody talks to me like that. I slapped him with my powers leaving a burn mark like with the other Wolf Demon.
"I'm already spoken for so keep your hands off me!"
"Don't tell me you're with that dog-eared mutt Inu-Trasha."
"Its Inu-Yasha! And yes I am seeing him! He's sweet, courageous, kind-hearted and loyal and he's got a great name so say it right! InuYasha!"
Koga squinted at me and said,"I don't know whatcha see in him. Don't matter. Next time I see him I'll put a spear through his heart and feed him to my wolves." Koga threw the boar onto his shoulder. "Then he won't be much competition anymore. Just a pile of old bones."
I glared at him so hard if looks could kill he'd be at least twenty feet under.
...InuYasha's Point of View...
Sango had just killed a Bird of Paradise with the Hiraikotsu.
"InuYasha," Miroku said. "I think you should let the Birds take you."
"What?"
"What do you mean?" Aneko asked.
"If this is truly the hunting grounds for the Birds of Paradise, then there would be Wolf bones everywhere."
"So you think they are in alliance with the Wolf Pack?" Sango suggested.
"Maybe," Miroku said.
"Well it's worth a shot,"InuYasha said running to a spot where the Birds could see him. One picked him up and carried him off. He knew the others would be following him and the Bird at a safe distance.
...Aneko's Point of View...
Aneko had just hit Miroku over the head for being an idiot for not looking farther for the Bird's fedding grounds.
"Now thanks to you we'll probably never get my baby sister back!" She hit him over the head again.
"InuYasha they're enemies!" Sango yelled to him.
...InuYasha's Point of View...
"Dammit. There's only one person I wanna kill. Let me go buzzard!" InuYasha jumped from the Bird's claws( or would it be talons?) and landed in the feeding grounds.
InuYasha looked up to Miroku. "Miroku! Be a man! Get down here and fight!"
They flew away without him.
"Hey!" InuYasha went forward as much as he could through the thick pile of wolf bones. "You guys wait up! Don't you dare leave me here Miroku!"
...Bird's of Paradise's Nest, Hiroko's Point of View...
We waited around for a moment until the Birds caught onto us watchign them. Koga grabbed onto me and took me up towards the nest to see if I could spot the one with the jewel shard. He punched and kicked alot of other Birds along the way.
"Where's the one with the jewel shard?" Koga asked.
"I don't-"I sensed a jewel shard."Right in front of us!" I pulled Koga back a bit and we landed on a small legde below the cliff.
"You have sacred jewel shards. My brother and I have been seeking them everywhere."
The other one spoke with, "How convenient that you decided to come to us! It saves us the trouble with hunting you down!"
"Where's the jewel shard?" Koga whispered to me.
"Its in it's mouth!" I told him.
"And you'll get a good glimpse of the shard as we swallow and devour you!"
Koga got us out of the way just before it would've bitten us.
"You guys prtect Hiroko." Koga took a weapon from one of the dead Bird's bodies. "I'm gonna cut that thing's mouth wide open." Then he ran off in one of his tornadoes.
"Don't worry sis we'll get you to safety,"Ginta said. (Or was it Hikaku? I get those two mixed up.)
"I don't need it. And what do you mean by 'sis'?" I said.
"You're Koga's woman. So we treat you like one of us,"Hikaku sai. (Or was it Ginta? Gah! Work memory work!)
"I'm not Koga's woman! I'm with InuYasha!" I said for about the tenth time now.
"Hey guys!"
"Look out!"
We looked and there was a Bird of Paradise coming at us. I drew one of my spirit bows and shot it down.
"Wow."
"Amazin sis!"
"I am not your sis! And I am not Koga's girl!"
"Look out sis there's more!"
They just don't listen do they? Back to the story...
"Hiroko!" Was that InuYasha? I knew that it was for sure when he jumped down in front of one of the Bird's carcsses.
"InuYasha!" I ran to him and hugged him. He spun me around once then kissed me.
"Grr..." We broke apart to see Aneko growling at us.
"She is way too protective of you," InuYasha whispered to me.
"I know. It just means she cares."
"Mama!"
"Shippo!" I ran to him on Kirara and took him in my arms.
"So dear sister what's going on?" Aneko said.
"The Birds of Paradise and the Wolf Demons are in an all out war." I looked to Miroku.
"Say no more," he said. "Wind Tunnel!" He sucked up all the Birds.
...Koga's Point of View...
"She...kissed. Him." Koga couldn't believe it. She said she was with him but he thought she was playing hard to get.
No. She's just trying to get me jealous is all. Well it worked.
"Go on Mutt-face! I don't have time to chase away dogs sniffing at my girl so move it!"
"Shut up Koga! You're going to pay for kidnapping my girl!" For good measure the mutt growled a little.
...Hiroko's Point of View...
"...and once you've been with a real warrior like me you'll never go back to scraps again!"
I'm gonna pass out with all the blood rushing to my face. I just know it. I can't believe he suggested that I sleep with him! My face feels like it's on fire already!
"I'm not gonna let you talk to Kagome like that! You bastard!" InuYasha jumped up to Koga with the Tetsusaiga in hand.
"Koga! The shard's about another fifty feet up!" I yelled through to him through my blushing. I knew it had to be massive. I felt like I was gonna pass out!
"Gah!" I squinted to see Koga's arm get bitten by the Bird! Then he fell out of the Bird's mouth and so did the shard from Koga's arm. I could see the blood spurting out of him as he fell to the ground.
"Koga!" I ran to him and helped him sit up. "Hang on." I put both of my hands on his arm and quickly did the Healing Incantation so his arm would heal. It healed in no time.
Meanwhile InuYasha mastered the WindScar and came to us.
"Now theres just this-"
"Sit boy," I said. InuYasha fell to the ground.
"You guys. Take Koga back to the cave. He needs to rest," I told Ginta and Hikaku.
"Right sis," they said. They each grabbed one of Koga's arm and fled with the rest of the Wolf Demons.
"Get back here cowards!" InuYasha said from the ground. "Why'd you let them go?"
"Koga wasn't fit to fight! Besides he is actually a nice person and he was kind to me so I returned the favor," I said helping him up.
"But-but he kidnapped you and almost got you killed!" He turned around and said, "Forget it! This is just stupid!"
"InuYasha," I said sharply.
He looked at me. "Yeah?"
I kissed him on his cheek, at the edge of his lips and broke away.
"What were we talking about?" He wobbled a little.
"Every woman's weapon ladies,"I said to the girls.
Aneko smirked at Miroku.
"Why is she smiling at me?" Miroku started sweating. "It's making me uncomfortable."
...Morning...
I had just merged the two shards we gathered with the one we already had.
"Hey Hiroko,"Madoka said.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Why don't you calm down InuYasha again? He's just being protective of you."
"I know. And I love him for it." I went and sat down beside him.
"InuYasha if you're still mad just know this; Koga isn't my type of guy alright?"
"Feh." He turend away for a few seconds then got in my face. "So what exactly happened between you guys?"
I felt a sudden urge of anger at his question but quickly calmed down knowing that that's just InuYasha's way of worrying. Or something like that.
"Nothing happened. Other than that..decleration you heard as well."
"The bastard," InuYasha said. "I'm gonna kill him for suggesting that."
I hugged him.
"I love you."
InuYasha put his arms around me and said, "I love you too." And kissed me. (Yes! I get kissed by my faveorite anime crush! Woohoo!)
