**Chapter 3-Wonderous Find**

Kagome turned over on her side and yawned while stretching at the same time. Crackling leaves next to her head snapped her to attention.
"Kagome? Are you okay? Why are you sleeping on the ground like this?"
Kagome groaned, slowly opening her eyes and immediately closing them as the sunlight shone directly on her face.
"Y.You." She whispered at the man standing over her.
Kouga kneeled next to her, and took one of her hands in his.
"Do you need help, my Kagome?" He asked politely.
Kagome jumped to her feet and brushed the leaves from her long, raven hair.
"I'm fine Kouga. What are you doing here?"
She looked him in the eye, but could see no evil intentions; not that he ever had any directed towards her anyway.
"I was hunting and the wind carried your scent. I'm surprised mutt face left you here."
"He, he didn't leave me here. I don't wanna talk about it okay."
Kouga could see tears forming in her eyes and he wasn't sure what to do.
"Kagome, come back to the caves with me. Be my mate and let Inuyasha have his dead bitch." He told her calmly.
Kagome stared at him for a minute without blinking.
'Should I go with him. It's obvious that Inuyasha doesn't want me. But Kouga never gave up on me. Never.' She thought.
"Umm. I will go with you, but on one condition." Kagome spoke softly.
"Name it."
"I don't want to be your mate. I just need sometime alone. Away from everything. Just to think about what to do and how to make the next move. Can you just let me live with you and your tribe in peace?"
Kagome watched as his eyes lit up and then died back down.
'I should have known he couldn't handle it. It was too much to hope for.'
Kagome sighed and sat at the base of the tree behind her.
"Kagome.you're more that welcome to come and live with us. I would rather have you that way, than not at all."
Kouga knelt in front of her and put a finger under her chin, lifting her face so he could meet her eyes.
"What ever he did to you, I can see it's still hurting you. Therefore, you have my word that I won't try to touch you until you tell me you want me."
Kagome could see that he meant what he was saying by the look in his eyes. She was being given the chance to get away from the whole mess with Inuyasha and Kikyo, and she wasn't about to miss out on it.
"Thank you Kouga-Kun. I really appreciate this."
He smiled down on her and lifted her into his arms, bridal style.
"Come on. We better go before mutt face catches up."
With that, Kouga took off running at a speed that made Kagome sick to her stomach. She buried her face in his chest to avoid being sick all over him. Wind beat against them as he sped up, holding her more tightly in his arms.
Kagome was happier then she had ever been in her life when she finally felt the ground under feet. They had arrived at the caves Kouga and his tribe lived in. As she looked around, she saw wolves running around every where, and wolf demons were sitting on rocks, chattering amongst them selves. It seemed that they hadn't noticed that their leader was back!
That is, until a wolf ran up to Kouga and howled right in front of Kagome. She screamed and jumped into his arms, scared that the wolf might try and take a bit. Kouga laughed and set her back down.
"If you want to live here, you have to learn that she was just greeting you!" Kouga said laughing.
"It's not funny. I thought 'SHE' wanted to eat me for dinner!" She yelled.
The wolf backed away and transformed into a beautiful female Demoness. She had a long light pink kimono with white flowers printed down the side. Her hair, pulled up into a ponytail, was almost a light sandy blonde color. She was absolutely beautiful.
"Wow!" Kagome whispered.
"I am Hari. One of the packs Demoness'. I act as an elder female would in any tribe. What is your name young one?"
Kagome stood in shock.
"Umm.it's uh.oh.Kagome!" She said and bowed to the older Demoness.
Hari looked in shock for a moment and bowed respectfully in return.
"So, you're Lady Kagome. I'm very honored to meet you. Lord Kouga didn't kidnap you did he?"
Kouga snorted from beside Kagome and took her hand.
"Lady Kagome will be staying with us for a while. I want her treated with the same respect you would give me. Any one who tries to harm her WILL be killed!" Kouga announced to the entire tribe.
"Hari. Have someone bring Lady Kagome some food. Come Kagome.I'll show you around."
Kouga pulled Kagome pass Hari and leads her into a large cave.
"The last time you were here, you didn't get to see my section of the caves." Kouga said proudly.
Kagome simply smiled and followed him around as he showed her were everything was. The large den she would sleep in, by herself of course, and the kitchens, and the area used to treat the wounded. By the end of the afternoon, Kagome was dead on her feet.
Sitting on the bed, which was made of hay, Kagome took off her shoes and took a deep breath. Finally being able to relax.
"Kagome-Sama? Would you like to take a bath in the hot spring? It's not far from here?" Hari's voice called from the door.
"Oh yes. I feel like I haven't washed in a month!" Kagome said excitedly.
"Come then. We have towels and an outfit that you can put on for the time being."
Kagome followed Hari out of the room and out the through the mouth of the cave. They passed a few of the wolves guarding the tribes main entrance. She led Kagome through a small patch of woods and around some large boulders. Bringing her to the hot spring, hidden from normal view.
"Here you are Kagome. I will stand guard while you bathe. The clothing is over on that rock, as well as everything you need." Hari said, walking way.
"Thanks again." Kagome called after her.
Hari just nodded and turned her back, being true to her word and guarding the spring. Kagome went over to the large boulder that had the clothes and the herbs that were used for washing. She noticed that the clothes were almost the same as Kouga's. Almost.
The outfit had the same brown and black chest plate, but the fur wasn't brown. It was white. There was a skirt, which was a longer than Kouga's loincloth. And there were also no cuff-lets and no sword. But she didn't need those. All in all, it looked okay.
"I just hope I don't look to skimpy in this." Kagome said, setting the outfit back on the rocks.
She quickly stripped off her clothes and settled into the hot water, finally relaxing and washing off the built up dirt. She washed her hair and sat back against one of the boulders, letting her mind think about the others. Her friends.
'Maybe I shouldn't have run. Or maybe I should have brought Shippou. Inuyasha had better not hit him, or he is going to be sit for week straight.'
She frowned as her thoughts were brought back to him. When she thought of him, she thought of seeing him with Kikyo. She still couldn't think about it without tears coming to her eyes. Angrily, she stood up and got out of the hot spring, quickly rubbing herself dry with one of the towels.
Not too sure on how to put on the strange outfit, she held it up one piece at a time. After quite a few tries, she finally got it right and donned the new outfit. She looked at her reflection in the hot spring and was amazed how nice she looked. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and look at her reflection one more time.
'I look like Kouga more that I care to admit!' She thought to herself.
She picked up her piled of dirty clothes and folded them to be washed later. She walked around the boulders to find Hari sitting on top of the largest one.
"Lady Kagome? Have you finished? My.you looked stunning!" Hari said happily.
"Thank you." Kagome said and smiled.
"Come one then, time to eat by now I'm sure."
Hari led her back to the caves, earning looks from almost every male wolf within the vicinity.
'I knew I would look skimpy' She thought blushing.
"Kagome. You look.like me!"
Kouga appeared out of no where from inside the cave.
"Lord Kouga? Is time to eat yet?" Hari asked from behind Kagome.
""Hmm. yes, let us go." Kouga said, pulling Kagome by the hand behind him.
Going to eat dinner with the wolf demon tribe, Kagome could only wonder what would happen the more time that she stayed with them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In The Next Chapter:
"Damn it! It's been two whole weeks! Where the FUCK is she?" Inuyasha growled impatiently.
The group searched every crevice of the area and almost every surrounding area. Her scent and no tracks were to be found from her. Inuyasha was constantly yelling at the others and bopping Shippou on the head. He knew that whenever she came back, he would pay for that. But his incessant prattling was annoying him.
"Inuyasha! It's not fair. Why do I gotta be stuck with YOU!" Shippou cried out.
Inuyasha growled at him bopped him on his he ran past. Leaving behind a starry eyed Shippou. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
