Chapter 2
They didn't realize so much time had gone by, it all happened in a flash. The sun was coming up, Inuyasha's hair slowly turned silver. Inuyasha held her closely; so close he felt her hear beat. Kagome gently pushed him back, apologizing with her eyes. She sat up for a moment. She walked to the end of the room and put on her clothes.. She gave Inuyasha his clothing and looked down. She let her hair down and tied it back up again so it wouldn't look so messy. Inuyasha put on his clothes.
"You should be going soon if you want to get to the top of the mountain by tonight." Kagome said regretting she had said it. She walked out of the room, trying to hide her tears. Inuyasha followed her.
"Kagome, if it means that much to you that I don't go, I won't."
"NO, I want you to go, you need to. We both know you need to. I'll be fine. I promise I won't get myself into trouble. I'll be just alright, you have to go." Inuyasha nodded.
"Well, I'd better get going then, I'll miss you a great deal Kagome." He held her tightly. She pushed him back again. "I'll miss you too." She led him outside. "Be careful, take good care of yourself." "Goodbye Kagome, I'll come for you as soon as I get back." Inuyasha smiled at her. She half smiled; half sighed... he had no idea she couldn't go back home for a long time. She smiled as he walked off. Sango was behind her; Kagome fell in her arms and cried like a child. Sango patted her on her back. "I'll be so lonely." She looked off at the faint figure of Inuyasha walking off. They walked to Miroku and Sangos home. "We won't let you be alone Kagome." Miroku said. He hugged her to comfort her. "But Sango, you have to be with Akira, and you have to work at the shrine Miroku." She stood still. "I want Inuyasha, but he's gone off to look for Kikyo, I must mean nothing to him. " she fell into Mirokus arms. She was crying into his shoulder. "Inuyasha and I.we did something we shouldn't have done together. I regret doing it now. He just left me like what we did was nothing." She paused to cry for a few minutes. She fell silent. "Does Kouga still come around?" Sango and Miroku were stunned. "Kouga.he will be coming for you, he knew Inuyasha would leave you in our care. Inuyasha wanted us to fight him to keep him away from you, but since you're willing to go with him, there's nothing we can do about it." Sango said. Akira started crying inside the house. "Sorry, let me take care of Akira, a mother's job is never done it seems." Sango went inside. "I know that you regret what you did with Inuyasha, I know why you wish you hadn't, but it's something you can't take back. Going off with Kouga won't fix what the two of you did and it won't make you feel better. I know you want to make Inuyasha jealous for leaving you, but it's not the right way to test him. " Kagome sighed. "I don't care if Inuyasha does get jealous. He doesn't care about me, so I won't care about him. I'm going with Kouga even he if he tries to take me away from him. Inuyasha won't hold me back any longer." "Kagome, I hate to say it but you make no sense." "I know I don't, I just.I just want to be with someone who appreciates me. All Inuyasha ever did was make me cry and complain about helping people. Kouga helps people, that's why they made him the lord of the village, cause he protects them. I want Kouga. I'll get my things ready.do you know what time he'll come?" Miroku sighed. "Although I know your intentions of going off with Kouga, I'll let you go with him. He'll come for you at noon." Kagome ran off to the small hut Inuyasha made for her, and gathered her things. The sun shown it was nearly noon, she had to hurry. She gathered all her things, which weren't much, but was sill home to her. A roll of thunder was heard from outside. Kouga appeared in her doorway. "Hello Kagome. I've missed you a great deal, and I want to know if you'd like to come live with me while Inuyasha is gone." He smirked at her. "I'm gathering my things, I knew you were coming. Here, take this." She gave him her rucksack. He reached out for her hand and they walked off into the forest together.
"A wife? Kouga has taken a wife?" Inuyasha asked the old man. The old man nodded. "Well, not a wife yet, although we do consider her the lady of the village. She teaches the young ones what plants heal and which to use for what ailment. She's taught the boys how to fire and arrow, and the girls how to wash their hair with plants to make themselves smell like flowers." "The lady, what's her name? Does she look young?" "She's a young one, that's for sure. Her name is something like Kagome I think." Inuyasha froze. "Well, if that's all you wanted to know, I'll be going now." The old man walked off. Inuyasha ran to the village to get Miroku. He was there by sunrise the next day.
"It was the day you left, only a couple of hours afterward. She wanted to go with him; there was nothing we could do to keep her here." he turned to his son. "Hey, stop pulling my ear. Sango, come get Akira." Sango came outside to get the baby. She gave Inuyasha a stiff look and went back inside. "Kagome told us what you did before you had left. She was very upset. But we couldn't do anything. I could take you to see her, however, you cannot speak with Kagome and you must keep hidden. If Kouga sees you or smells you on Kagome, chances are he'll hurt you. " Inuyasha grunted. "Fine, let's go already, no reason to waste time talking." He dragged Miroku into the forest and they walked for only a while when they heard splashing at a nearby lake on the outside of Kouga's village. Kagome let out a yelp. "They're both here, I can smell them." Miroku nodded and climbed on Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha jumped from branch to branch till he found a spot where he could see both Kagome and Kouga. Kagome was wearing a pink bathing suit; she was rubbing shampoo in her hair. Kouga was wearing what looked like a loincloth. They were both sitting down in the water when Kagome walked to a deeper spot and dove in to rinse her hair out. Kouga went in after her. A while passed and she surfaced, looking for Kouga. He snuck from behind and acted as though he was going to jump on her. She screamed and dove into the water again. She went up to him, splashed water in his face, and swam to the shore. She took a towel out of a small bag and dried her hair. "Turn around Kouga, I need to change." Kagome said sternly. Kouga sighed and turned away from her. She took off her bathing suit, which made Miroku drool. Inuyasha slapped him and reminded him of his wife and child. Kagome pulled out a top with a one-sided shoulder strap, pulled it over herself, and took out a long wrap around skirt. Both seemed to be made with wolves fur. "Alright Kouga, you can look." Kouga turned. "Wow, you really are.amazing." He touched her bare waist and pulled her to him. He held her for what seemed to be forever to Inuyasha. He moved his hands to her hips and squeezed them. Inuyasha was starting to growl. Kouga pulled her hips closer to his and started pressing himself on her. Inuyasha was just about ready to jump out of his hiding place and kill Kouga. Miroku put his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder and gave him a discouraging look. Kagome pushed Kouga away and walked towards the tree where Inuyasha and Miroku were hiding. She was blushing and looking at the ground. Kouga walked up from behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed the side of her neck. Kagome looked like she wanted to cry. "I'm sorry Kagome, I know you're not ready yet. I acted on impulse, which I shouldn't have done." Kagome walked right under where Inuyasha and Miroku were. "It's not just that Kouga. I.you wouldn't understand how I feel right now." "It's that damn dog-turd isn't it? He left you to go look for that woman. Don't tell me you miss him." Kouga said. "Don't call Inuyasha that! I miss him, and I understand that he needs to find Kikyo's remains. Only then, can he properly bury her and get over her. He needs to do this for himself." Kouga grunted at her. "Fine, I'm sorry. Let's get home before it gets dark." "Alright." Kouga picked up Kagome's bag and took her hand. They walked off towards the village. Inuyasha was going insane from seeing another guy touching Kagome. The fact that it was Kouga made it worse. Miroku climbed on Inuyasha's back and Inuyasha jumped to the ground. "She'll be fine Inuyasha. Sango visits her nearly everyday. Kagome has her own room, at another end of the house. She takes Kouga's place when he away. All the people in the village respect her and treat her properly. There's no reason to get worried over Kagome, she can take care of herself." "But she's my girl!" He yelled. "She's my Kagome and only mine. I don't want another guy taking care of her, that's my job." He grunted. "I'll have her back, make no mistake." He started walking in the direction Kouga and Kagome left in. Miroku stopped him. "You can't right now Inuyasha you need closure about Kikyo. You heard Kagome's words; you need to do this for yourself. Then figure out your feelings for Kagome. So, you know for sure. Don't be hasty, that kind of behavior got us in quite a bit of trouble. Inuyasha sighed and growled at Mirkou's words. "Lets go back then." Inuyasha said. He bent down so Miroku could get on his back. He started walking. "So how's the family doing?" Inuyasha asked. "Oh they're fine. Akira's getting big fast. He is starting to crawl all over the house. Sango thinks she might be pregnant again. We need to wait a while to find out." Miroku said proudly. "Wow Miroku, that's. something I think I want. I saw Akira, he's.he looks just like you. I only hope he doesn't inherit your attitude towards women." The two friends talked all the way home just about Miroku's family. *************************************************
Keh. That's all for now!
