End of Days

By Alpha-Parvani

            I really wish the troubles ended there. But no. Of course not. Only one god up there liked me, and apparently even they decided I wasn't worth it. The next horrid thing happened about four months later…

                                                            *******

            "Things are nice. Things are comfortable. Things are boring. In a nice, comfortable way." I said these very words to Koga when he asked how I was one day. It earned me an odd look and a lecture on how I should never be a philosopher.

            But it was true. I liked how things were and I wanted them to remain that way. Of course…

They never do.

            Four months after I released my bond to Kagome…she came back. I didn't know until Ginta started yelling for Koga and I again. I accused him of continuously crying wolf. Another odd look.

            Kagome strolled up the mountain like she owned it. But something was wrong. She didn't look smug, or happy, or even the slightest bit cheerful. She was depressed. I could smell it already. It was times like those I was secretly glad the rosary broke.

            Everyone was off doing whatever they wanted. It was just Koga, Kagome, Ginta, Hakkaku and I, standing silently near the den. Koga spoke up after a few minutes. "What is your reason for coming, Kagome?" Tears welled in her eyes. I gritted my teeth. "I need to talk to Inuyasha…" I growled. "I'm right here, bitch! Speak up then leave!" She winced.

"I was…wondering…if…if I could stay…"

"No!"

            She looked alarmed. "Why…" I stalked forward until I was almost nose to nose with her. "This is my home right now. I want to be no where near you, ever again! Go back to Kaede's village, stay with Sango and Miroku. I want you gone." Her eyes widened slightly. "Go!" She fled.

            Koga came up behind me. I was panting heavily, almost hyperventilating. "Come with me…" He murmured. I nodded and followed him compliantly, too angry with Kagome to fight him. He led me back into the cave, all the way to his bedding area. We both sat down. I was just starting to calm down, so he moved behind me, alternating between gently rubbing my shoulders and scratching my ears. Soon, I was slumped back against him, his arms around me loosely. "Why…Why did she have to come back? I hate her. I told her to leave me alone. Doesn't she understand?"

            Koga sighed. "I know why she came back." I tilted my head back to look at him. "Her mate left her. He smelled you all over her. Apparently my reincarnated form is still a demon." My mouth formed a small 'o' of surprise. He nodded slightly before burying his face in my hair. I smiled slightly, settling myself more comfortably in his arms.

"Do you think she'll stay away?"

"You scared her pretty bad. I don't think she'll ever come back while you're around."

"I'm not amused, ookami."

I could feel him grin against my skin.

"I know. That's why I said it."

Things were boring again.

In a nice, comfortable way.

~~Woot. Short, I know. But I have a lack of imagination right now. R&R!!
