FINALLY! I finally got onto a computer long enough to type and post my next
chapter! Of course, it IS 11:15 right now, so everybody else in my house is
asleep! I plan this chapter to be more of an explanation of a little of the
stuff that goes on, but probably now much. You DO find out why Kouga is in
the window, though. Last chapter was sorta intense, so Densetsu is gonna
turn it down a notch for this chapter, but don't worry, more stuff like
what happened last chapter will happen later in the story! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: *sob* *sniffle* Densetsu does not own Sesshoumaru, or and of the other characters in Inu-Yasha! Believe her; if she did, Sesshoumaru would be the main character, rather than just one of the secondary characters that are part of and ongoing sub-plot!

"K - Kouga!" she finally sputtered. It was followed up by a nervous laugh. "What are you doing here?" She asked, trying to sound natural. 'Great, I sound like a total dunce.'
Kouga hopped off of the windowsill and started to approach her. In the blink of an eye, he was lying on his stomach; his face ground into the floor. Hikaru sat on his back, one of her feet resting quite heavily on the back of Kouga's head. She smiled pleasantly up at Kagome, giggling at the look of shock that appeared on her new friend's face.
"Was this mangy wolf bothering you, Kagome?" she asked.
"Gerr oht co mayee, viktch! Gerr oht co mayee!" Kouga yelled, his voice muffled by the floor. Raising her eyebrow, Hikaru removed her foot so that he could speak. Taking a deep breath, he tried yelling again, this time finding his voice. "Get off of me, you neko bitch!" he yelled, growling as an afterthought.
"But, why, wolfy?" Hikaru asked pouting. Grabbing his hair, she pulled it, causing him to yell even more. "You have such pretty hair!" she cried, stroking his head.
Kagome giggled at the scene before her. 'Poor Kouga!' she thought, laughing some more. Wiping tears of laughter from her eyes with the back of her hand, she finally spoke. "Hikaru, I think you can get off of him now."
"Oh, all right, if you insist," she said, sighing dramatically. When she stood up, Kagome noticed that she was wearing the same outfit that Sesshoumaru had specifically told her not to wear the other day.
Kagome sat up and pulled her legs close to her body, resting her head on her knees. "I think you've hurt his pride, Hikaru. I feel sorta bad now. Oh, well. One thing, though, keep an eye on him. Don't let your guard down."
"You betcha!" Hikaru said. She unsheathed a short sword that she wore at her waist.
Kagome then turned to Kouga. "I suggest you leave, Kouga. Sesshoumaru does not look kindly upon intruders."
"Kagome, if you want me to leave, then I ask that you come with me."
"No."
"What is this mutt fetish that you've acquired, Kagome? Why not just come with me and be happy?"
"You don't understand, Kouga. I can never be happy with you. You can never be more than just a friend."
"I don't believe you! I'll MAKE you see that you can be happy with me!" Kouga yelled, running towards Kagome.
"Oh, no, you don't," Hikaru hissed. Her blade was pressed into his neck. "Make one more move nearer to Kagome, and you die."
A look of betrayal on his face, he glared at Kagome and then turned and left the way he had come.
"So, Hikaru, where were you earlier today? I was hoping to see you at breakfast, but you weren't here."
"Oh, that. Well, you see, after Inu-Yasha left yesterday, Sesshy asked me to go and keep an eye on him for a bit, see if I could find anything out. I followed him and the miko for a while and nothing interesting really happened. I mean, she yelled at him and all, but that's it! Geez, you'd think that my renegade cousin would lead a more exciting life!
"Anyways, they couldn't find the other three while I was there. I left about an hour ago, and when I got here, I saw wolfy there, sitting in your window. When I saw him hop in, I decided to have a little fun. So, here I am now, straight from my very first mission, which I can proudly say, was a success, if I do say so myself! Anything interesting happen while I was gone?" she asked, concluding her little anecdote.
Kagome began to blush furiously at the mention of interesting happenings. "W-Well, you see, I mean - NO!" she cleared her throat. "I mean, no, of COURSE nothing happened!"
"Hikaru thinks that somebody is lying," she teased.
"How old are you, anyway?" Kagome asked, hoping to change the subject.
"I am," Hikaru stopped mid-sentence to count on her fingers, "seventy-seven years old now," she declared proudly.
Kagome stared dumbly for a second. "Wow, I'm only seventeen. You seriously don't look a day over eighteen." 'Or act a day over 16.'
"Really? You think?"
Kagome nodded.
(A/n: Now, before you go and question and flame, be aware that she is, indeed, 17 in this fic. She was, as you know, 15 when she first met Inu- Yasha. During a dream when she was remembering what had happened to her earlier, she said 'And what have I been to you these past two years? Am I just a shard detector to you?' or, something along those lines anyway. So, basically, don't blame me if you have a bad memory or can't add!)
Just then, Sesshoumaru burst into the room, or, rather, threw the door open and then walked in calmly. "What is all the noise I hear coming from this room? And why does it smell like a wolf has been here?"
"Well, you see, Sesshoumaru, there was - "
"Ah, Hikaru, you are back. Report. What did you discover?" Sesshoumaru commanded.
"Our own bossy self, now, aren't we Sesshy?" Hikaru asked jokingly. Receiving a growl in response, she continued on. "Well, there isn't really much to tell. The miko yelled at Inu-Yasha, who, I'm sad to say, took it, and without a word said," she shook her head. "It's so sad. Anyway, after a while, I realized that nothing was going to happen, and so I left. When I got here, there was a wolf sitting in her window, but we took care of him. He won't be coming back for a while."
~*~*~*~
A very light-hearted chapter, if I do say so myself. And Densetsu happens to be very proud of Hikaru, her OC, for all those who may not like her. Arigatou goziamasu for the reviews! And as I said last chapter, if anyone needs me to put definitions of the words I use, please, feel free to ask, and gomen ne for any confusion I may have unwittingly caused!
Neveada: Thanx! I'm glad you like the story! Tee hee hee! I guess we might NEVER know what Hikaru was going to ask Kagome, now will we? In fact, I don't even know. My characters have minds of their own! I just sorta write about what they do and say! (Just to let you now, ALL of this, and I DO mean all of this, is happening in my head!)
Khelen: Densetsu is VERY glad that you like her story so far! Arigatou!
Kaginu-san: Try a dictionary! It helps me when I don't know what a word means! Now I know LOTS of big words, although I don't use them quite as often as I should, preferring the vocabulary that I had when I was seven! Here's that chapter you wanted!
DemonWicca1: A very happy chapter, much different from the mood set last chapter, but another chapter nonetheless!
UnlovedBandNerd: Thankies for the review! Yes, yes, poor Sesshy, he can never seem to contain his emotions when he really needs to. I guess we found out what Kouga was doing here too!
45: here's the update you wanted! I hope you likey!
Dante's Angel of Chaos: Yes, for you. Gomen! I couldn't help but write a cliffy! It makes people come back because they want o know what happens next!
Young-gurl-15: Tee hee! It makes Densetsu VERY happy that you likey!
Frozen Lighting: You are my most loyal reader! You review for every chapter! It makes Densetsu happy! Arigatou Gozaimasu!
Well, this is Densetsu Unmei signing off for the night! Ja ne!
