~Eh-heh… I realize that perhaps I should have waited for more reviews. I already have Inuyasha falling for Koga! *whimpers*~
QueenoftheEggs: Thank you. *glows* I probably will have Inu and Koga together for a least a little while… but I asked for opinions to see if I should write it as an alternate thing. *smiles weakly* Thanks again though!
Sundaecherriez: Thank you as well! I'm spitting out this chapters as much as I can! Can you believe this is actually coming to me as I type? I don't even think things over much…
Inulover626: I'll be putting it in most likely! Thanks for the compliments!
juice64: *laughs* I myself was afraid of having Kagome betray Inu. I mean, I don't know of many stories like that. I just decided to be different! I'm glad my story is actually enjoyed this much… Thank you, and don't worry… I'll keep writing or you can have my good china. *grins*
~End of Days~
By Alpha Parvani
And that was all just one day…There is still…7000 some days to encompass. Sounds like fun.
The day after I socked Koga in the jaw, we were back to sitting outside. See, the wonderful thing about wolves is… they do absolutely nothing most of the time.
This time I was prepared if Koga planned on pushing me in. I was still wearing the furs.
Fifteen minutes in the sun was how long it took for me to notice…
Koga kept staring at me.
After a little while, I started getting nervous. 'What's his deal?' Finally, I snapped. I whirled around to face him, nearly shying away when we ended up nose to nose. I stood my ground though. "Why do you insist upon staring?" He blinked at me several times.
Oh, I'll never forget his stunned look.
"I-I…"
"Spit it out, wolf."
"I'm not used to you wearing our furs…"
…Oh.
I backed off and sat back in the sun. "Why didn't you just say so? I'll put my usual back on later." Surprisingly, he shook his head. "No. I…I sort of like it." I looked at him, slightly surprised. Then I shrugged. "Kay." Quiet came again, welcomed with opened arms.
Of course…
Peace never lasts.
One of the wolves, Ginta, I believe, called for us. Koga and I both sat up, looking behind us. Koga got to his feet, running to his companion. I followed suit, hearing Koga demand what the problem was. Ginta pointed out over a cliff, down the mountain. Koga and I followed his gaze.
And there, tromping up the mountain, arguing…
Sango and Miroku.
I groaned and slapped my forehead. Koga gave me an amused smile. "Will you be dealing with them, Inu?" I sighed and nodded compliantly before going to change into my usual clothing.
I met Sango and Miroku at the end of the path leading to the den. My hands were tucked into my sleeves and I had my back to them. "Inuyasha!" Both of them called my name at the same time. I turned to look at them and smiled.
I had to admit.
I missed them.
Miroku came up to me and put a companionable arm around my shoulders, asking how I'd been. Sango got straight to the point and demanded why I had stayed away for so long.
I told them where I had been. They both looked horrified, yet understanding when I told them I'd killed Kikyo. I neglected to tell them that I had offered the sword to Sesshomaru. After telling of my past journey, I was thrilled to discover the two had been married… I felt horrible for missing the wedding.
"Don't worry about it, Inuyasha." Sango said with a smile, "It was nothing huge. Just a small event… only Kaede was present. She wed us."
I led them up to the den and Koga greeted them as well. I could tell they were slightly nervous around so many wolves. I managed worm my way into the silence, asking if anyone had seen Shippo.
As if on cue…the little runt of mine came running, first jumping onto Koga's shoulder, then my head, before finally leaping to cling to Sango. He gushed how much he had missed them then began to go over our adventures…in great exaggeration.
My friends only stayed for a short while. They left when the sun was getting close to setting. They were hoping to get home. Kirara, who had been so quiet the entire time, was in her sabrecat form, waiting patiently. The goodbyes were most interesting…
Sango hugged me tightly and told me to come home to them in one piece. Miroku put a hand on my shoulder and asked me to forgive his wife, before grinning and patting my shoulder. Then Sango went up to Koga and grabbed his chin, forcing him to look at her. He was stunned.
"You take care of him, understand? And…don't break his heart."
As amusing as it was to watch Koga's eyes widen to nearly impossible size, I was embarrassed. My friends bid me goodbye once again before hopping onto Kirara and flying off into the night.
Koga and I stood in silence for a moment, watching them gradually fade from sight. Then we looked at each other slowly. Identical blushes came to our faces. I quickly turned away and stomped into the den.
Life was just not going my way.
It wasn't fair.
As I was getting ready to sleep, Shippo came to me. I stared at him for a moment. "What do you want, Shippo?" I turned away, untying my haori. Shippo jumped onto my fur bed and stared at me. "Otousan… Do you like Koga?"
I went rigid. My ears flattened back. 'Do I…in that way?' I scoffed. 'Of course not.' I shrugged. "He's my friend." Shippo rolled his eyes. "You know what I mean-"
"No, I don't. Go to bed, Shippo. It's late."
He was silent for a minute. I looked at him over my shoulder, one eyebrow raised. "Yes, Papa." My forehead wrinkled slightly. 'He's never called me that before…' I turned and ruffled his hair. "Sorry, runt…I guess I'm just tired." His demeanor brightened and he nodded. "Okay. 'Night!" He bounded off towards the pups. I watched him go, then shook my head and sighed. 'I need to get some sleep… I feel like I'm going crazy.'
Yeah.
Crazy.
In a different sense.
I found myself looking at Koga before I went to sleep.
'I shouldn't feel this way… he's my friend… it's just…wrong…'
~~~Well. Another chapter already. *grins* I dunno if I'll be able to put anymore up today, but I'll try.
I think I'm going to have Koga and Inuyasha fall in love… Merely because I'm a defiant, yaoi-loving wench who asks questions and doesn't wait for answers. *laughs nervously* Really, I'm sorry. I should have waiting for more answers on the Koga/Inu thing but…eh, it's stuck now.
So, R&R please and let me know what you think!
