*** Deception In A Kiss ~~ Chapter 5- Found At Last ~~

**************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************************
Kouga watched Kagome playing with the small pups in the meadow near the caves. She had been with him for two weeks, and in all honesty, he never wanted to let that go. He loved her, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to keep her there, with him. As the time passed that she was with him and his tribe, he noticed that she was never happy. Yes, she smiled, but never was she heart fully happy.

Kagome flopped to the ground exhausted from playing with the small pups. They weren't her own, but she enjoyed playing with them anyway. She lay in the grass, letting it tickle her cheeks and neck. She was so comfortable, yet as always, her thoughts drifted back to Inuyasha. She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice Kouga come up behind her.

"Kagome? Is something wrong?" Kouga said sitting beside her on the ground.

Kouga's voiced was laced with his obvious worry. Kagome sat up and folded her legs under her, and rested her chin in the palm of her hands.

"I'm fine. I guess, for the first time. I really do miss Inuyasha. He hasn't come for me, so I know he doesn't care. I just can't help but feel bad about it."

Kouga took her hands and pulled her onto his lap.

"Your worth more than you will ever know Kagome. The fact that he hasn't figured that out is proof enough that he doesn't deserve you."

Kouga looked into her eyes and began to lower his face to hers.

'Ahhh! What he is doing?' Kagome thought silently.

Kouga wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her more against him.

"Kouga? What do you think your doing?" Kagome asked beginning to worry.

"I'm sorry Kagome. I probably should let you go now."

"It would be a good idea."

Kagome crawled out of his lap, and stood walking back towards the cave.

"Kagome? Your not mad at me are you?"

"No Kouga. Just don't let it happen again okay?"

He nodded and she began to walk off once again.

"I'm going hunting for tonight. I just might catch something for the next few nights. But I'll be back ok."

Kagome nodded and Kouga ran past her and into the forest.

"He'll probably be bringing back Rabbit or maybe a deer. I suppose I should go make sure the kitchen is somewhat clean." Kagome said sighing.

Kagome walked back to the caves and was greeted with several wolf howls. She merely nodded and continued on to the main cave with the make shift kitchen. Upon her arrival, she sighed with all the work she would have to do. The 'stove' needed to be cleaned and leaves needed to be brushed out of the room. Torches would have to be out up to light the room and she needed to make sure the baking part of the 'stove' was empty. She sighed again and turned around to exit.

Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw a wolf quietly walking up to her.

"Hari! You have got to stop doing that!" Kagome breathed.

She watched as Hari transformed into her human form and moved to stand beside her.

"I apologize Lady Kagome."

"I thought you agreed not to call me 'Lady Kagome' anymore either!" Kagome said with a smirk.

"Hai! Kagome, I know that we have become close over time. I was wondering if you could give me advice on something."

"Hari, Is something wrong?"

"No, not at all. You see, I have feelings for someone here in the tribe. He however, hardly notices my existence. I don't know what to do anymore. I want to make him see me once and for all."

Kagome thought for a minute before saying anything. She knew that Hari was young, about 18 or so. She knew that she was reserved and took great pride in herself. She was especially strong in battle and would probably like someone almost the same as her.

"Hari? Who is it? I can't figure that one out." Kagome said quietly.

"LADY KAGOME?!"

Kagome and Hari jumped when two male figures ran into the cave, screaming Kagome's name.

"Ginta? Hakkaku? What is all the noise for?" Hari asked, still surprised.

Hello Hari. Lady Kagome, Kouga asked us to bring you these. He said you can cook them." The one with the Mohawk, Hakkaku said.

"Yeah! Meat is much better when it's tougher!" Ginta added.

"We will see about that. I think you all might like my cooking."

The three in front of her nodded.

"Well, we gotta go. That guy out there is trying to fight Kouga, but we know who will win don't we Ginta!" Hakkaku said proudly.

"Mmm hmm! Let's go!" He replied and they took off out of the cave.

"I wonder who it is?" Kagome said, walking out of the cave as well.

"Kagome. I don't think you should go out there." Hari said.

"Why? I won't get in the way. I just want to see who it is."

"You could get hurt! Kouga would never forgive me if that happened."

"Oh. Well, don't worry about me. I'll just get my bow and arrows just to be safe okay." Kagome said running to her room.

Once she reached it, she quickly located her bow and arrows that Kouga got for her and slung them over her shoulder. She was in a rush to see who was fighting Kouga.

'I wonder if it's Inuyasha. If it is, he's probably just here to ask if I'm going to finish helping with the jewel shards!' Kagome thought angrily.

Kagome ran out of her room and to the mouth of the cave. It was obvious that there was a fight going on, but no one with swords or fists even. It was one with words!

"Where is she ya WIMPY WOLF!"

"I'll never tell you that MUTT FACE!"

"You will tell me or you will DIE!"

"Sure I will MANGY MUTT!"

Kagome's heart thundered in her chest as she saw the two arguing in front of her. Inuyasha held the Tetsusaiga in hand and was clearly quite angry.

'I'm surprised he hasn't sniffed me out yet!' Kagome thought silently.

"This is your last chance Kouga. Tell me where she is or I will kill you."

Inuyasha brought the Tetsusaiga over his head, really to kill Kouga if he didn't answer him the was he wanted.

"That is privileged information Inuyasha. You lost that right to her when you chose that dead bitch!" Kouga yelled.

"I DIDN'T CHOOSE KIKYO!" Inuyasha roared and began to bring down the Tetsusaiga.

Suddenly, out of no where, an arrow hit the Tetsusaiga and made it transform back to the rusty old Katana. Inuyasha turned and saw Kagome standing by the mouth of the cave, bow and arrows in hand.

"Kagome? What the hell!"

"Inuyasha! Stop fighting with Kouga." Kagome said.

"What the hell do you mean, 'stop fighting with Kouga', I'm gonna kick his ass for not telling me you were here!" Inuyasha growled out.

"Inuyasha, maybe I didn't want you to find me!" Kagome said softly, she knew it was lie, but maybe she would get him distracted from Kouga.

"Kagome? What the hell are you talking about?" Inuyasha said, walking up to her.

"Kagome, come back with us, we miss you. I miss you." Inuyasha said sadly.

"Sure you do! Get your lover to find the shards for you!"

"Kagome? Kikyo is not my lover." Inuyasha paused and studied her face.

"You honestly don't know do you?"

"I know all I need to know."

"I know what you saw in the woods. But it wasn't Kikyo and me. I mean, I kissed her. But she disguised herself as you! At least allow me to tell you the whole story!" Inuyasha said, now standing in front of her.

"Tell me. Then be on your way." Kagome said, moving to sit on a boulder.

Inuyasha sat next to her and laid Tetsusaiga between them.

"Kikyo was angry because she knew that I had feelings for you. I suppose she decided that she would find out if you could stop me from going with her in the end. It all started the night you left, two weeks ago." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *****

Next Chapter:

"Kagome? What are you talking about?" Inuyasha said curiously.

"Didn't you hear me? I said I'm in love with you! I know you love Kikyo, but I couldn't hold it in any longer. I love you and I want to be with you!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: Okay! There's chapter 5. Tell me what you think okay. I really need some inspiration from you all. So review, please!
