Yakusoku
Chapter One
Kouga groaned turning his head.
Am I dead? I remember getting hit by Inu Yasha's attack.
He heard birds chirping loudly and a strange ticking noise. Where was he? His eyes cracked open as another loud banging noise came. The light was shining on his face providing warmth. He felt a soft material all around him, up to his chin to be exact. It couldn't be a futon he was on, it was too large. He recognized his head lying against a pillow he guessed was filled with down.
He glanced around for a moment as his vision started to clear. He recognized the strange ticking as something Kagome had shown him once, a clock. He heard a soft meow and watched as the demon slayer's fire cat leapt onto his stomach. He tried to pull his arm out from under the blanket only to find it feeling incredibly heavy. With a little more effort he managed to pull it out and set it next to Kirara stroking the fur around her ears. Kirara purred softly as it curled into a small ball on his stomach to sleep.
As he started to sit up he noticed his hair was down.
What the hell? What's going on?
He sat up completely moving Kirara into his lap. He gasped as a sharp pain hit his chest and he quickly set a hand there to support it. He let his hair slide over his shoulders as he leaned forward getting more comfortable. His chest armor was gone and replaced with bandages. He moved a leg setting himself half way in a cross legged position. He could also feel the bandages on his arms and legs. He reached a hand up lightly touching another covering his neck.
"Kouga!" he heard Kagome's worried voice. He smiled as she moved onto the high futon next to him.
"Hey," he whispered weakly. Kagome took his hand gently rubbing the bruised knuckles.
"You've been out for two weeks, you know? You had us all worried."
Kouga nodded unconsciously as his vision blurred for a moment. He felt his body sway before falling forward against Kagome's shoulder. She seemed to accept it as a hug since she moved her arms around him. Kouga nudged his head against her neck trying to find her familiar sweet scent. His eyes snapped open as he caught a different scent. He pulled Kagome from him as his eyes widened with shock.
"Kagome, y-you're... you're pregnant."
Kagome nodded happily as the loud banging started up again. She grumbled and turned her way to the door.
"Inu Yasha! Stop hammering; you're giving me a headache! And besides, Kouga's woken up!"
Kouga stared down as his teeth slowly gritted together. A pain in his chest rose but he ignored it. It wasn't a physical pain, it was an emotional one. As Inu Yasha walked in the doorway and started toward him Kouga felt a deep growl erupt from his chest. With a vicious snarl he leapt from the bed knocking Kirara off and landed on Inu Yasha fixing his hands around his neck. He raised his clenched fist bringing it down on Inu Yasha with a reason afterwards.
"You dog shit! This is for taking my woman! This is for trying to kill me! And this is-"
"Kouga!" Kagome grabbed his arm using all of her strength to hold it back. Kouga yanked his arm away causing her to fall. He moved off Inu Yasha and kicked his side again before limping out the door. He didn't get far. He'd taken about ten steps before collapsing to the ground. He growled hearing someone stepping towards him. He calmed realizing it was Ginta and Hakkaku. He strained himself to sit up as they grabbed his arms pulling him up. He moved his arms around their necks and took a half step forward.
"Let's go home," he whispered taking another weak step forward. Ginta and Hakkaku tightened their hold on him lifting his feet from the ground a bit. They slowly but steadily began walking into the forest towards the West Mountains.
