A.N. Have I every mentioned how I get inspired at the weirdest times? For example I was watching Stargate and I got the biggest wave of inspiration or it could have been because I was daydreaming because I found I disliked the show when they killed of Daniel Jackson its always my favourite characters who die *mutters lousy writers* but still it was inspiration so I sat down at the computer and typed my little heart out.
Anyhoo, I'd like to thank my reviewers (be warned if I might not get round to typing my thanks to every individual one by one later on but I'll probably just type a thanks for the reviews.)

So Thanks to:

Katzztar- Most definitely there will be some "Tension"


Fluffy-5678- Sorry this is a K/Kag fic, I don't know why but I can't see Kagome with Inu as much I used to its mainly Sess/Kag or Kag/? Now days I guess I've read to many fics where ppl write him as a jerk but in the actual Rumiko Takahashi series they belong together. And I don't know who exactly Ayame is ^.^'' is she one of Kags school friends or something? . urrg I dunno!


Desert Wolf- Darn right His mother's a twit but the fun I could have moulding that idiocy into absolute moronic ness. I guess Kougs dad did come off as a real jerk I guess he's into that whole 'Hard love' raising technique. hehe.


Misao CG- ^-^ glad you found it funny that whole first chapter was a little too serious for my tastes so in went the humour.

Dlisclaimer: I wrote it before, I don't own it if I did do you think I'd be writing fan fiction about it? Wait…don't answer that.

Right, I needed a mate, one who can clarify that she has been collecting Shikon shards and not using them for artificial power, and is a youkai. I groaned. There was no way I would be able to find a youkai woman willing enough to do that. Sure Kagome might do it as a favour being the sweet thing she was and she collects the Shikon shards but my father would most likely tear her to shreds being human. Just like every other Youkai lord or King. He would call me a disgrace, Yeah I don't want to be stuck at the palace until its my turn to rule but I don't really want to disowned by my family I have some pride of my heritage.


I flopped backwards onto my bead releasing a growl of utter frustration. Stupid life. Stupid father. Stupid women. Stupid everything. I raked my clawed fingers through my tied up black hair most likely causing to stick up at frightening angles, and would scare away the most fearsome beasts alone.


I rolled lazily onto my stomach. I should really be thinking about finding a non-commitment mate. I could always bribe them but I really didn't have much to bribe them with. Reveal my status? Wouldn't be such a good idea she would probably use me…


Hitting my head against my bed I screamed (manly too) in annoyance. I've said it once and most likely will say it again. My life is just so screwed.


Oh if only Kagome was a youkai and THEN my life would be so much easier. Even if it were…..temper..ary.. My eyes widened in realisation as I stoped my train of thought. "Oh MY GOD. I'm a genius!" The idea of all ideas struck me down like Dog-breaths idiocy. I scrambled to my feet hastily before sprawling out on my stomach once again on the opposite side of my lair.


Digging my arm into a barely noticeably crevice in the stonewall. My clawed hand closed around a small glass bottle. Pulling out my arm I grinned victoriously. Staring down and the bluish liquid contained in the glass bottle I silently thanked my slightly air headed mother. Tucking the bottle into my chest armour I raced off at abnormally high speeds in a whirlwind of dust.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Several minutes later I was beginning to regret my hastiness. I had no idea what direction I should have been going. Screeching to a halt in the middle of human village scaring many young human pups in the process ( hey, at least there was a up side). I immediately turned in the opposite direction deciding on heading to the one place I knew she was based.


A little under five minutes, thanks to my speed. Although many people believe it to be from the power of the Shikon shards in my legs, that's not at all true the speed is all my own the shards just give me unlimited energy which is incredibly useful if I travel for several days at my high speed. So if I were to ever lose my Shikon shards I would have an incredible advantage in battle, plus it's a great place for safekeeping.


I had stopped a little out of the town catching the sent of my intended target. Sniffing the air again I wove myself through the forest until I came across a well, that currently had Kagome hanging halfway in. Silently I landed behind her from my position in a tallish tree. "Oi." Was all I said before Kagome released a scream, swung what ever it was she was trying to get out of the well, smashed the unusually hard and heavy object on my head and I connected with the forest floor.


"I..Itai". I groaned out from my position on the ground. Kagome was leaning against the well panting heavily, a hand clutching the front of her kimono. I shoved the object off my head and glared nastily at it. From this moment I've decided it and I were enemies. "K..Kouga-kun?" Kagome gasped out with surprised eyes and a voice to match.


Still glaring nastily at the bag like object on the ground (It was YELLOW for christs sake) " What's in that thing?" I asked in a suspicious tone. "Biology books. Gomen ne Kouga-kun." I flickered my gaze towards Kagome briefly just in time to catch her apologetic look before retuning my untrusting gaze to the yellow bag like object that ate Biology books.


"Don't worry 'bout it Kagome." My venomous gaze still on the yellow bag like object. Kagome walked forward and picked up the yellow object. Snapping my gaze up to Kagome my questing blurted out before I could stop it "What are you doing?"


Kagome looked at me in surprise. "Um…carrying my backpack?" So it's a backpack eh? Unusual name. "Are you sure you should be doing that? I mean it isn't safe is it?" Kagome stared at me blankly "Not safe as in it could hurt me by itself?" I nodded slightly. "Kouga-kun, it's a bag, a sack with straps attached so I can carry things, its not alive. It can't hurt me." A tone of amusement filled her voice.


I eyed her suspiciously "Your sure?" she nodded with a grin that lit up her stunning features in response. Cracking my shoulder blade casually I took her "Backpack of her. "In that case I must insist on carrying this insanely heavy sack with straps for you". Kagome giggled and released her hold on the bag.


Kagome started walking towards the town at a slightly fast pace. Taking one long stride I fell into step with the miko that was now beside me. We walked in comfortable silence for a while. As we were approaching the village Kagome's pace slowed. She turned towards me "Kouga-kun, I was wondering. What are you doing this far away from your territory?." I grinned probably flashing my fangs in the process. "I want you to be my woman."


Kagome came to a complete stop at the edge of the village and turned completely towards me. "What?" she whispered. I frowned slightly. I mean it was pretty straightforward. How blunt could I get? "Kagome, I want you to be my woman".
"WHAT???????" Kagome screeched painfully loud that made me cover my sensitive ears in pain.


Kagome's eyes were wide with shock. Her mouth was hanging slightly open. Resisting the sudden urge to close it for her, I raised an eyebrow in question. "Wha..What do you mean?" I frowned slightly "What part of 'I want you to be my woman' do you not understand?" Kagome continued to gasp in shock opening and closing her mouth doing an uncanny impression of a fish. "Why?" she squeaked.


I took a deep breath before continuing "Well you see the thing is that my father visited me today and practically demanded to see my mate, I kinda had this deal going with him about If I could secure my own territory, pack, held power over the inhabitants of my territory and a mate I wouldn't have to go back and stay with my Father and mother until I had to take over for my father. But you see the big problem is that I didn't have a mate. So I lied and said I had one but they were out collecting shards. So my father left saying He wanted to meet my mate tomorrow at noon. So I'm in a bit of a trouble because of my lack of mate so that's why I came to you so you can pretend to be my mate for tomorrow." I finished the summary of my conversation with my father in one breath.


Kagome wore a very blank expression. "Oh… I see." I clutched Kagomes shoulders in a slightly firm grip. "So I/will/I you pretend to be my mate?" Kagome stared at me for a while, I could see different emotions flash over her blue-grey eyes as she debated whether or not to agree. She bit her lip delicately before stating her decision.


"Okay."

A.N. Well finished another chapter, Ad if your wondering NO Kouga isn't a idiot about the whole back pack thing, remember it's from the future so it doesn't look like any bag in that age, plus he did get hit in the head with it filled with Biology books. If that doesn't make someone delusional I don't know what else will, oh wait yeah I do…

Japanese words used:
Itai- literally means it hurts.

Gomen ne- I'm sorry (Gomen nasi means it as well but I couldn't be screwed to type it. Even tho I just did….)

-Kun- it's a suffix used on the end of boy's names where as chan is usually used for girls or really young boys. It's usually used when you're closer to the person.


Well R&R!!
