Well look who's back for chapter two? Couldn't stay away hun? Don't forget Shinjitsu no Shi has more yaoi fics then I do, well to Inuyasha anyway, plus fan art. Oh pretty pictures. One reviewer -falling in the darkness- mentioned they like the pair fighting and was a little sad that they didn't. For your sake I'll try and put a good fight in a chapter just for you. I hope I didn't keep the rest of you waiting too long. If so gomen nashi minna.

Kouga sat down on his bed sniffing at the box in his hands. Most of the remaining wolves were out with his remaining clan hunting so he was mostly alone. He slid his claw under the top flap of the box opening it. A tan wolf sniffed walking up to him. "Hey Broke Fang. This isn't for you it's human food." The wolf snorted almost distastefully. Kouga ignored him pulling out one of the foil wrapped eggs. "This does not look or feel like food." With a shrug he bit it frowning and spitting it out. "Gah! Hun?" Kouga stuck a clawed finger into the white and orange goo inside the egg. "Goo?" He sniffed it. "Is this the food?" Broke Fang shook his head walking out. "Oh you're a lot of help." Kouga called at the departing wolf. Curious he placed his claw in his mouth sucking the white crème off as he pulled it out. "This ain't too bad."
--- --- ------ --- ------ ---
"Are you all better now Inuyasha?"
"I was fine Kagome. I just don't like being cooped up in doors."
"Oh. I need to go home on Wednesday ok?"
"When's Wednesday?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"Oh...fine whatever."
"You sure?"
"I said it was fine." Inuyasha snapped.
Kagome toke a step back. "Ok gomen geez bite my head off."
"Well why not you do it to me all the damn time?"
"Well you're a jerk."
"And you're a bitch. Kikyou never abused me like you do!"
"I don't!"
Inuyasha toke his collar in his hand. "You just love having me on a leash and you damn well know it!"
Kagome threw her hands up. "I'm not going to even try and talk to you today. Maybe tomorrow we can talk this all out but not today. I'm going to see Sango now. Excuse me Miroku?"
Miroku watched Kagome storm past before smacking Inuyasha upside his head. "Baka. What did you do this time?"
"Don't do that! She's not leaving so drop it alright?" Inuyasha growled golden eyes narrowed.
Miroku held up his hands. "Peace Inuyasha? What is wrong?"
"Nothing you can help me with ok?"
"As you wish but I am here if you change your mind." Miroku reminded him turning.
"Can you fall out of love with someone?" Inuyasha asked stopping the monk.
"Of course Inuyasha over time all feeling can change."
"Is that a good thing?"
"Sometimes yes sometimes no. Fifty years is a long time to some a mere moment to others. Just something to keep in mind."
"Miroku do I...do I have the right to kill Kikyou? I can't stand to see her like she is."
"You can not kill that which is already dead Inuyasha. She is nothing more then a fragment wandering amongst the living. Laying her to rest is the only humane thing to do."
"But I'm not human?"
"Part of you is. If you want I'll do it?"
"No...I couldn't save her then but I sure as hell can now."
"Just don't do it alone the gumi is here for you."
"I'll remember that. Can you help with something?"
"Sure, what?"
"How can I make Kagome not be mad at me anymore?"
"On'na are very fickle Inuyasha but I'll see what I can do."
--- --- ------ --- ------ ---
"What did he do now?"
"He got all snappy then compared me to Kikyou so I left. Why does he have to do that? I may be Kikyou but I'm also Kagome he seems to forget that all the time."
"Well he does get hit in the head a lot." Sango reminded her rubbing her chin in thought. "For him Kikyou's death isn't in the distant past so he hasn't had a lot of time to get over her and now she's back plus there is you which only makes him even more confused. You should be more patient with him."
"What like you are with Miroku?"
"We are not...what did you call it? Going out."
"Not yet."
"Please Kagome this isn't about Miroku and me it's about Inuyasha and you."
"I know but...I really don't want to think about him right now."
"I'm sure tomorrow everything will be back to normal.."
"I hope so Sango. I need a nice long soak. Ja."
"Ja Kagome." -I wonder what set him off this time?-
--- --- ------ --- ------ ---
Inuyasha sighed moping up in one of his many trees. -Why do on'na have to be so damn complicated?- He blinked when he saw a deer run past him quickly brought down by a dark blur. -Oh great someone else to piss me off.- "Hey you this is my forest."
"Is it now Inuyasha?"
"Kouga?! Oh it's only you."
"Only? That hurts mutt face." Kouga teased tearing a leg free. "Care for some?"
"It's raw?"
"Yeah so? It's better that way." Inuyasha watched him tear another leg free before biting into it. "Don't tell me you only eat your meat cooked like a human?" He teased.
"No, it's just been a while."
Kouga nodded handing him the leg. "Yeah humans can be so squeamish."
"You don't mine sharing your kill?"
"Nah, besides you said it's your forest."
"Yeah the humans call it that." Inuyasha informed him biting in the leg. "Not bad."
"Well of course I wouldn't waste my time chasing something that wouldn't even taste good. That's so human."
"You still coming by tomorrow?"
"I was planning on it. Why did something come up?"
"No just checking. Ack!" Inuyasha started coughing.
"You alright?" Kouga asked concerned.
"Yeah, fine...just got some blood up my nose."
Kouga chuckled. "Yeah that is annoying. Don't worry about it."
"At lest deer don't smell like humans."
"Don't taste like them either a little sweeter then them."
"I keep forgetting ookami will kill anything."
"Well why not humans kill many types of youkai for our furs, claws, whatever so why not kill them back? We are not as waste full as the humans."
"I wouldn't mention that around either Kagome or Sango if I was you."
"Yes the kind heart Kagome would be most distressed."
"Yeah and Sango would try to off ya."
"Off? Do you mean kill?"
"Hun? Oh yeah kill gomen Kagome's slang seems to be rubbing off."
"Don't worry about it we ookami have our own slang I'm surprised I haven't lost any of you yet."
"I don't think you've ever used any of it."
"Oh...well that would explain it."
Inuyasha nodded teeth gnawing at the bone. "Can I have another?"
"Help your self Inuyasha." Inuyasha smiled ripping off another leg and tearing into it. "Poor deprived thing. How long has it been since you had a good kill?"
"Over fifty years. I was bond to this bia ss tree for most of them but still."
"I could never stand that."
"Well I am a hanyou and a inu we aren't quite as primal as you ookami."
"It's probably your human blood that allows you live more like them then other youkai."
"Yeah. As long as you didn't kill and eat humans the gumi would accept you."
"I guess I could for the sake of my pack."
"Mine I'm the leader not you."
"Ookami do battle to decide who leads but all our fights seem to get the others involved as well. Maybe just maybe I could stand being a beta instead of an alpha."
"You lost me there."
"Alpha are the leaders beta their commanders or replacements if they should be killed."
"So I'm the alpha?"
"Yes and that monk seems to be your beta."
"Miroku? I guess so but I never thought about it. He's always there to back me up."
"That is the beta's job."
"So you would back me up? What about your pack?"
"They are safe enough besides they can join another pack if they want."
"They wouldn't come with you?"
"They are too baka to adapt to the human world." Kouga tossed his bone away before slamming a fist into the deer pulling out a rib. "As it stands I may not be able to do it either. I have a tail human's would notice this."
"You look more human then me. I got white hair and inu ears you could cover yours and the tail you can write off as furs you are wearing fur after all."
"So I'd look human but I don't feel human."
"So what? People either accept me being around or I scare them you can do the same. It is very ookami."
Kouga smiled before sitting down pulling another rib free. "True enough. I guess I'll give it a try. If it dosen't work out I can always just go home."
"Yeah. Hey hand me one of those?" Inuyasha asked sitting down beside him.
"Well those sleeves make it impractical to just grab one your self. Here."
"I like these sleeves. Inu like long billowy sleeves alright?"
"They look great on you but I would never wear them."
"You'd trip on them."
"Oh please."
"With the way you swirl around you would."
"I'm very flexible."
"Your body maybe."
"Honestly." Kouga muttered throwing the bone away reaching for another rib.
"You know this is kindda of fun."
"We're just talking?"
"I know but it's nice talking to someone who understands the thrill of being a youkai and why I want to be a pure one."
"I'm sure your friends understand why even if they do not think you should became one."
"What do you think?"
"If you become pure blooded you'd lose your otousan's sword. You really seem to like it."
"Miroku can have it. After Naraku is killed he'll lose his wind tunnel but he'll still want to help people."
"If you can part with the sword then yes. You could easily protect the pack as a pure youkai."
"You'd have to give up your shards?"
"I know but by then I wouldn't need them anymore. Every day I get stronger on my own. After losing my one shard I decided it was foolish to relay solely on their power."
"Smart." Inuyasha admitted yawning.
"So glad you agree."
"Blah, blah, and blah." Inuyasha muttered curling up beside Kouga.
"Won't your friends worry if they wake and you're not there?"
"Let 'em worry" Inuyasha murmured clawed right hand resting gently on Kouga's tail.
Kouga glanced at him and sighed. "As you wish." He nibbled on his rib looking up when some of his ookami stepped out of the shadows. "Go head I'm done." The ookami pulled the deer away leaving them alone. Kouga smiled as he curled up in a ball next to Inuyasha. He was a ookami so he gave the action no mind as he drifted off to the sound of feeding ookami.

Gomen nashi for let this fic sit for a while but I've been so Yu-Gi-Oh! Obsessed I've hardly been working on anything else. In chapter three Kouga and Inuyasha will fight so those of you who love that will be happy. R/R to inspire me to work more on this other wise it may just sit for a while. Gomen but that is what happens. I only have so many hours a day to work about 3-5 a day and none on the weekends. Two younger sisters will do that to you. So if you want more you had better tell me. Ja.
