Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
Chapter twenty: Forget and Forgive.
Kagome followed Kouga back to their rooms. Ever since they arrived back at the
house Kouga has not once said one word to her. He was still very angry at her.
Kagome noticed the red in her mate's eyes and knew it was taking everything he
had to stay calm. Even Sesshoumaru was staying out of Kouga's way.
Kouga opened the door to their room and waited for her to enter before shutting
it behind him. He was very angry at her she should have known better then to run
off and try to face a full-blooded demon as dangerous as Inuyasha. She was damn
lucky she was alive. Not only that Sakura was hurt and she had Sesshoumaru to
thank for still being alive. Kouga loves Kagome more than anything and would do
anything for her but she has to be punished for what she did the same for Sakura
but that would be Miroku's problem.
"You did wrong Kagome." Kouga said in a very calm voice making Kagome shiver.
She would rather have Kouga yelling at her since that was more like him.
"I know Kouga and I'm sorry." Kagome said with tears in her eyes.
Kouga sighed. "You will have to be punished for what you did Kagome I'm sorry
but it's the only way for you to know what you did was wrong."
Punish? Kagome stepped back from her mate. She wasn't a child anymore. She had
heard from Sango that demons would punish their mates if the mate did something
wrong. Kagome knew she should have waited for Kouga.
"How?" Kagome asked waiting for the bad news.
"You will be locked in our room." Kouga snapped his temper getting the better of
him. "You will not see or talk to anyone as long as I say. Your dinner will be
brought to you. I want you to think about what you did Kagome and maybe some
time to your self will help."
Kagome wanted to cry she hated being by herself. "What about you, Kouga will you
still stay with me?" Kagome asked fearing the answer.
Kouga rubbed his head. "No, I will be spending most of my time with Sesshoumaru
planning on how to handle Inuyasha. I will be sleeping in another room. I mean
what I said Kagome no one will be here with you and I am included." Kouga looked
at his mate one last time before leaving locking the door behind him.
**********************
Miroku sat beside Sakura on her bed. Aiko was worried sick about her sister but
after Sesshoumaru told her she would be fine Aiko left Miroku and Sakura alone.
She knew they wanted to be alone.
"I almost lost you." Miroku said brokenly as he held her hand. Sakura was lucky
if Sesshoumaru didn't have the tensuaiga she would be bead. "What made you two
go after him like that?"
Sakura was mad she knew she was angry but Miroku and Kouga were forgetting
something. "You seemed to forget that Kagome and I can take care of ourselves."
Sakura tied to sit up with the help of Miroku. "We are both warriors and you
never worried when I was Sango. I didn't forget anything Miroku I knew what I
was doing. Inuyasha managed to hit me. So what it wasn't the first time I was
hurt by a demon. It wasn't the first time for Kagome either."
Miroku sighed, he knew Sakura was right but that didn't make him feel any better.
He knew he needed to trust Sakura more and that Kouga needed to trust Kagome.
They were both afraid to lose their love ones.
"Alright Sakura, but next time we'll fight together." Miroku smiled and leaned
down to kiss Sakura gently not wanting to hurt her.
Sakura kissed him back glad that he finally understood. Sakura pulled back.
"Tell Kouga I want to talk to him. I know he's angry but he needs to understand
Kagome is the way she is. She will always do what she believes is right no matter
the cost."
Miroku nodded, he knew his future mate was right. Miroku kissed Sakura on the
cheek before leaving her bedroom to find Kouga.
**********************
Kouga sat on the roof thinking about all that had happened today. He was so
close to losing Kagome for good and that thought scared him more then anything
else. He didn't want to lock Kagome in her room but she had to learn. Inuyasha
was dangerous and would not give a second thought before he sliced her throat.
Kagome needed to understand that.
"Hey Kouga." Miroku said sitting down beside his pack leader and friend. "Nice
night."
Kouga snorted. "Yeah I guess. So how is Sakura?"
Miroku laughed. " She's back to her old self. She wants to talk to you."
Kouga raised an eyebrow on that one. He did figure Sakura was going to want to
talk to him sooner or later about Kagome. "I guessed as much. Let's go see what
she wants." Kouga got up and walked back into the house followed by Miroku.
Sakura watched as Kouga and Miroku walked into her bedroom. She was angry at
Kouga for punishing Kagome. She understood why he did it but Kouga has a lot he
needs to understand.
"Why did you punish Kagome?" Sakura not wanting to mix words. She wanted to
know straight out.
"For going after Inuyasha without any help." Kouga said behind his clinched
teeth. "What she did was wrong. Both of you could have been killed. You were
very lucky Sakura."
"I know that Kouga, more then anyone else." Sakura said calmly she wasn't
afraid of death. "You know the way Kagome is she does what she believes is right
and locking her up isn't going to change that."
Kouga sighed, he knew Sakura was right. "Still she could have been killed."
Sakura yelled. "Kagome is the same now as she was when you first met her. Do
you really want her to change? Because if you do then you don't love her
enough."
Kouga put his head in his hands. He loved Kagome, more then anything. He
didn't want her to change but he was still afraid of losing her. Yet he knew
Sakura was right if she had stayed and listens she wouldn't be the woman he
loved. Still, she should have waited for him.
"Kouga you need to forgive her." Sakura placed a hand on his shoulder. "Tell
her how you feel and to be more careful. She'll understand."
"You're right." Kouga squeezed Sakura's hand in reassurance. "I'll let her
know right now." Kouga ran out of the room to go and beg his mate to forgive
him.
Sakura smiled. "Will it would seem that even Kouga can learn new things?"
Miroku just laughed.
*******************
Kagome lay on her bed crying. She was sorry about making Kouga worry but she
wasn't about to change even as much as she loved him he should not want her to
change.
Kagome sighed, she was tired. Kagome took the jewel from around her neck and
looked at it. This jewel had caused her so much pain and yet she still protected
it with her life if she had to. As much as Kagome wanted to get rid of it she
knew it could not get into the hands of someone evil. Kagome sighed, putting the
neckless back around her neck. She really hated the jewel.
Kagome heard a key turn in the lock and thought someone was bringing her
something to eat. She was surprised when it was Kouga that walked into the room.
Kouga walked up to the bed before he fell to his knees in front of Kagome. "I'm
so sorry koi I was just afraid to lose you. You are my life."
Kagome hugged her husband so happy that he understood. "I forgive you Kouga
and I hope you can forgive me. I'll be more careful from now on and I will only
fight if you are with me."
Kouga smiled. "That's all I ask."
Kouga pushed her back against the bed planning to show her just how much he loved
her.
