Kagome's Gone, and Kodashie Remembers Kouga

"Sango, how long did Kagome say she was going to be away?" Shippou asked, it has been two days since Kagome left.

Sango, Miroku and Shippou have been trying to get close to Kodashie, and get to know her. But every time they tried, something would happen that took the attention of them for a while. Kodashie was sitting near the fire her long black hair over one shoulder and she was brushing it. Miroku, Sango and Shippou were sitting a little bit away from the fire and were talking about things, like things that they would like to do, things like that. Kikyo was off with Moshi trying to comfort her because Kodashie was still denying that they were sisters. Inuyasha was out on his own probably deep in thought, but not for long since Moshi's screeching wails were heard. 'Any minute now he will come here demanding I cease her wailing.'

"Kodashie!" Inuyasha bellowed, he jumped out of the tree he was in and walked over to Kodashie until he stood behind her. He was about to start yelling when he smelt something feint. He couldn't put my finger on what it was, but what ever it was, it smelt good.

Inuyasha was lost in his thoughts about this scent he smelled, he found the source of the smell and burrowed his head into the black soft hair of Kodashie's and started to rub his cheek against Kodashie's neck.

"Um Inuyasha what are you doing?" Kodashie asked, Inuyasha snapped his head away and blinked at the straight spine of Kodashie's. She looked over her shoulder at him with a confused look on her face just like him.

"What am I doing? Why are you here! You will be attracting every male yoaki and hanyo for miles!" Inuyasha squeaked,

"You are sure a stupid one Inuyasha!" Shippou said throwing a rock at him, "that's her scent, it's about time you noticed hers!"

"I know what her scent is you stupid! Its not that I'm smelling, it's the scent of her getting ready." he left out the rest since Shippou was there, and because he thought he heard something,

"Inuyasha, don't you think Shippou would be effected by the scent you say I have, and that wolf yoaki hiding in those trees over here?" Kodashie asked as she pointed over to a cluster of trees, a shadowy figure was on the lowest branch,

"Kouga! Get your wimpy tail out here now!" Inuyasha yelled,

"My, my I would have thought that you hanging around with my woman would have curved your temper," Kouga said as he jumped down from the branch he was on and walked into the circle of light given off by the fire.

"She aint your woman!" Inuyasha snapped

"Where is my woman by the way? I was on my territory minding my own business when I caught the scent of my beloved. I so wanted to see her and well here I am," Kouga looked around, his eyes passed over Kodashie many times and he didn't notice that she was a yoaki, after like the tenth time his eyes stopped on her they went wide, "you're a yoaki! So you were the one scent I smelt before that brought back memories from my childhood,"

As Kodashie stared at Kouga, she stroked her tail trying to remember why he seemed so familiar. Her heart, body and soul all knew who he was, who she is, but her mind didn't. Kodashie looked down and closed her eyes for but a brief second and her mind was assaulted by a million memories at once,

***Memories***

Kouga, the young boy that was in the river catching fish with his bare hands, showing off, but to who? Looking around there was no one but her, than voices were heard, his servants were coming towards him; he looked over with a pleading look in his eyes, as if he wanted forgiveness.

That memory left and was replaced with a memory that was seen from the out side not her point of view.

"Kodashie-chan, do you think we will always be friends?" the young wolf yoaki asked, sitting on the river bank of the same river that was in the first memory, Kodashie sat next to him and they both looked upset,

"Of course we will always be friends no matter what happens, if your father and Sesshoumaru-kun's father become mad at each other I will still come, as long as you are willing to meet me here," the young inu yoaki said giving Kouga a small hug,

"To our friend ship Kodashie-chan?" Kouga held out his hand

"To our friend ship Kouga-chan," Kodashie replied

The other memories were of the two yoakis growing up together, the times when they were caught, when Kouga didn't show up, the pain seeing Kouga walking around with another girl. Then just as abruptly as they came, the memories stopped.

***End Memories***

"Kouga-chan?" Kodashie asked looking up at him,

"Kodashie-chan!" Kouga exclaimed and both stood up and ran towards each other and jumped into each others arms and hugged each other until Kodashie fell over from his weight then they started to tussle with each other like little pups. Kirara, somewhere along the line went off to go hide.

"Ouch!! Kouga that was my tail!"

"Well that's what you get for biting mine!"

*Scuffle* *scuffle*

"Sango can I go and join? Please can I join!"

"Did we miss something?" Miroku asked looking down at the inu yoaki, wolf yoaki, and kitsune yoaki rolling around on the ground in a big moving ball of fur and flesh.

"Ow! Someone's sitting on my hand! Sango!"

"Oh sorry Shippo,"

"Miroku!" *wha bam!* the monk fell to the ground unconscious while Sango held her fist above Miroku's head a vein twitching in her head, (like this .#).

"Will you three knock it off!" Inuyasha growled reaching in to try and stop it only to be dragged in as well, "AHHH LEME GO!!! AHHHHHH!!!"

"Well it looks like Inuyasha is having fun," Miroku said standing up after a quick recovery, Sango watched Miroku with narrowed eyes while nodding her head a few times.

"Grrrrrrrrr," *chomp* Inuyasha growled as he bit down on something,

"AHHHHHH MY TAIL LEGO! LEGO! LEGO!!!" *SLAP* Inuyasha was sent flying out of the small group of shufflers with black fur in his mouth and a large red hand print on the side of his face.

Kodashie was standing up now, on the part of her tail where it is on her shoulder was missing a chunk of fur, she had a low growl going on in her throat and she was shooting daggers at Inuyasha. Who was trying his hardest to disappear. Kouga and Shippo were huddled together hiding from the wrath of a pissed off Kodashie, even Sango and Miroku wanted to go and hide.

"Don't you ever touch my tail ever again!" Kodashie growled advancing on Inuyasha

"GOMEN!! GOMEN!! GOMEN!!" Inuyasha squeaked scooting away from Kodashie.

Kodashie glared at Inuyasha for a little longer than turned around and sat down rubbing where she was bitten on the tail.

"Kodashie? Are you going to be ok?" Shippou asked slowly walking up to Kodashie, Kouga did the same hiding behind Shippo; Kodashie looked up and grinned,

"I haven't had that much fun in a long time," Shippo sat in Kodashies lap and Kouga sat next to her, Sango and Miroku sat across from them and Inuyasha sat to the left of Kodashie and to the right of Miroku.

"I see you remembered who you are Kodashie," Miroku said after a lengthy pause,

"I remember the things that happened between me and Kouga-chan, that's about it." Kodashie said as she playfully messed up Shippo's hair.

"How did you remember? How did you know it was her in the first place?" Sango asked,

"I don't know how I remembered, I just closed my eyes and the memories came back," Kodashie shrugged

"I knew it was her, because only the Kodashie I knew called me Kouga-chan," Kouga said looking down with a feint blush on his face,

"Kouga-chan, what kind of a name is that?" Inuyasha snapped back to his old self again,

"I gave it to him when I first met him, when he was a kid his voice was somewhat high for a boys, and well no one else would say anything because he is the son of the Lord of The Northern Lands, I didn't know that at the time when I met him and I called him Kouga-chan, he pushed me down the embankment leading to the river, and ever since then the name stuck and that turned into our meeting place," Kodashie said poking Kouga in the ribs.

"Kouga-chan!" Inuyasha said as he started laughing, "what a great nickname, it fits you perfectly!" Inuyasha doubled over with laughter, it was a rare sight to see and it was contagious.

First Shippo started squealing with delight as he jumped on Inuyasha's head, than Sango started giggling behind her hand while Kouga sniggered trying not to laugh while Miroku and Kodashie had a silent contest to see who would laugh first. Kodashie's eyebrows quirked getting Miroku to smile a tad. Then the corner of Miroku's mouth twitched. Kodashie broke out in gales of laughter that made her fall on her side holding her sides while everyone else laughed even harder. After a long time of everyone trying to get Kodashie to get up they got her standing only to fall into the whole group.

Just like the scuffle that happened before, the ball of bodies started moving. First it teetered over towards the embers of the fire, than moved away thanks to Shippou who bit Miroku on the thumb. The ball rolled into a tree knocking almost everyone into laughing fools who couldn't see up from down. The ball rolled down the embankment and fell into the muddy stream. Kodashie was thrown into a deep hole of sticky mud that went up to her shoulders. It took a while for the others to find her since they were still being attacked by fits of laughter, or being stuck by the mud. After much work everyone dragged each other out of the muddy stream, and up the embankment and back into their camp. And one by one they each fell asleep.
