Moon in the City Density at Its Best

It was afternoon and her friends had all left. Kagome and I were walking under the sakura orchard on the way to her home. I tried not to gawk as petals floated falling around her, making her more vulnerable and beautiful. She was really wonderful and the most surprising thing was that she didn't have a clue about it.

            " Higurashiiii" A male voice called upon my woman, ruining our romantic solitude. The soon-to-be-dead-boy on a bicycle stopped in front of us.

" Hojo-kun, What brings you here?" Kagome gave me a warning glare.

I innocently looked back reminding her that I am not some primitively obsessed wolf youkai.

Soo… this is Hojo-kun,eh.

Everything about him was nice and pleasant. Looking at him reminded me of those green clad, high socks and short ninnies who sell cookies on your front door. He seemed so goddamned perfect that I could almost see a radiant aura surrounding him with a certificate of good moral conduct stamped on his forehead.

" Higurashi, I heard that you have been absent for weeks because of your sickness again."

Sicknesss?I stared at Kagome who seemed to become a little bit of edgy.

            " It's nothing really, I am fine now."

            " I've read a little bit of rheumatism, it takes years---"        

" What is this roo-matism you speak of?!" I demanded, jolting Hojo-boy's attention.

" It's got to do with sickness from the bones" he looked at me sympathetically," most often, people with rheumatism often experience pain in their joints."

            " Then you must not walk" I suddenly swept Kagome off her feet and carried her as she was screaming.

            " Kouga put me down!!!"

            " No, you are sick! You have roo-matism! I will not have any of your delicate joints pained!!"

            " Hey! You have no right to touch her."

            " Oh, so now you're gonna read me my rights!"

            "Kouga, dammit!!" my baby was punching me and calling me things that could even curdle a whiskey.

            " Koi—"I whined as she was about pull the hair near my ears.

            " Sugar, Honey, Peaches, Baa---" ouch! ouch!ouch!!

            " I am not your koibito, Kouga!!! I demand you PUT ME DOWN!"She walloped a punch that made me reel and stagger then she jumped down and glared at me.

            I lay down on the ground then threw a questioning look at Hojo-boy who was by now speechless and staring at the sweet delicate flower who unbelievably tackled this wolf demon.

            Believe it Hojo-boy, she's all that and she's all mine.

            " She doesn't look sick to me, Hojo." I smirked as I put my hands under my head not bothering to get up. The view is nice here. I could still see her raging down on me, with her defensive akimbo posture….

Oh yeah, I could also get a peek at her white panties.

            Eh,hehehe. Down boy.

            " Higu---"

            Kagome warningly gave him a fierce look, and that wimp almost choked his sentences.

            " But,You're---"

            " ah!" she dared him to continue, her brows arching in cool aggression as she cracked her knuckles.

            Then the weirdest thing happened. That boy cheerfully smiled at her and said, " Oh, I guess you can make it on our date then. Don't forget, tomorrow afternoon at 3. I 'll be waiting on our usual place. Bye!!"

WHAT THE FUUUCK!!!?

I immediately stood up, very much intending to beat the pulp out of that little Spawn of Barney. But that wise-ass was from a distance and happily waving us goodbye.

            " Hey!!" I screamed at him" You goddamn fucker, get back here!! You cannot date her, you stupid schmuck!! She's my WOMAAAAAN!!"

            Is he that dense or he's just making a special effort today? By bloody god, I have been screaming at the top of my lungs loud enough for everyone within 3 kilometers and he doesn't seem to get it.

Then I noticed that Kagome was missing.

Damn, now I'm back to square one!

I glared towards the direction of that Prozac induced bastard, wanting very much to blast his smiley-faced ass to kingdom come.

But then I have to straighten out my priorities…Find Kagome first then wring the chicken's neck later.

---

Minutes later after running and tracking down her scent, I found Kagome climbing up on the white stone steps of a shrine.

" Kagome!!"

Startled, she turned around to face me.

" What?!"

I could sense the tiredness in her voice.

" Kouga, we'll meet again tomorrow, okay? I have to go home and pick up the list for the grocery later then---"

" I'll go with you!!" I implored. Bit by bit, I was ascending the steps and coming closer to where she was standing.

" Don't bother, I--"

" I am not bothered at all!" I raised my arms in exaggerated gesture.

            She sighed. 

            "Look I know that you're tired…maybe it's because of your joints or som—"

            " I am not sick!!!" Kagome stomped her foot and crossed her arms in indignation.

            "Of course," giving her a placating smile," but we can be at least honest with each other, koibito. After all when we get married, we would be---"

" Who said anything about marriage?!" I could see her eyes developing a tic, "I am too young to even think about getting married?"

" Nonsense," flippantly dismissed such ridiculous idea," It is not good for someone to be alone even in a couple of centuries, I've been there and it's terrible."

" Aw come on koi!!" I exasperatedly raised my voice" For crying out loud, we are more than adults!! I mean you're technically around 500 years old!!"

For any male species either human or youkai, it is an unspoken rule never ever reveal the female's true age moreover if they are forty or so. I don't have any single clue why they are so worked up with their numbers but all I know is that they're dead serious about it.

            The words echoed around the place and then came silence.

            Methinks I made a booboo.
