The only reason that this got up so fast is that I was sick! WHOOOOOO!!
That's not normally a good thing to be happy about though.....T.T it's so
sad.....I had a whole page of this chapter typed and then this error thing
popped up and deleted what I had written.....so forgive me if it isn't too
good. (doing something a second time, writing wise, always turns out worse
for me ;.;) ok.....I don't own Inuyasha or any other Inuyasha characters.
Only Ai. I think I might draw a picture of her and try to show it to you
guys. Here we go chapter four!
My Place To Belong Ch 4: Don't Let Tragedy Make Your Decision
"I don't think I'm going to stay....." Ginta looked at her with confusion and shock "why wouldn't you want to stay here? I mean.....why?" Ai just looked straight up. She didn't want to look at him, not after all they had done. She couldn't. "I'm a human. You guys are demons. I don't belong here with you. Compared to you guys, I'm as slow as a snail. I'm weak as well. Look at me here. Relying on you guys to take care of me. If I had just left.....then none of this would have ever happened." tears started to fall from the corners of her eyes now. "The sooner I leave, the better is would be....." Ginta looked at her sympathetically "would you at least stay here for Kouga?" Ai's eyes opened a little more, then closed tightly and let more tears fall down "why would he need me? I heard he has a great mate. What could I do that she couldn't?" "I've been thinking about that for a while now" Kouga said from a little ways behind Ginta "sure.....I love her. But I know she doesn't love me the way that I love her. I just never admitted it because it hurts to say you're in a one-sided love" Kouga walked over with a boar upon his shoulder. He sat down next to Ginta and put the boar on the ground. "H-how long have you been standing there?" Ai asked rather shakily. "I've been here about to the part where you lied" Ai looked at him confused. Kouga leaned over and wiped a tear away "you said that you didn't belong here. Well you know what? You belong here just as much as any of us." Kouga said matter-of-factly. "you gotta believe in fate and destiny" Kouga said to her in a fun-scolding manner "aren't fate and destiny the same thing?" "....." Kouga couldn't answer ".....ok! Time to eat!" his quick change of subject made Ai giggle some. "Sheesh! Here I am trying to do my best to help you and you laugh at me!" Kouga said sarcastically.
Ai started to get up into a sitting position so that she could eat. Luckily her wounds weren't so deep that they hurt her whenever she moved. As she sat up the fur that was on her fell off. That is when she found out that she had no clothes on.....just.....bandages wrapped around her chest and arms.....~Kouga and Ginta: o/////////o "whoa" ~ Ai: GAH!!~ Ai pulled up the fur faster than you could see her move. "where are my clothes?!" Ai half way screamed. Kouga blushed a little more ".....ummm.....your clothes were in shreds so they wouldn't have helped much anyways.....not to mention I had to bandage you up and.....ummm....." Kouga blushed even more as he thought back to bandaging Ai. Ai then blushed redder than red is possible to be. "yo-you saw me naked?!" "ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....is that a rhetorical question?" Ai looked at him with wide eyes and a blush that seemed like it would never disappear "Kouga!" "would it help if I said I had never seen anybody more beautiful?" Kouga asked just waiting for her to slap him. Ai stopped breathing for about ten seconds and just looked at him getting redder by the second. She had never received a complement of that depth. "Ai? Are you alright?" Ginta asked. Ai then came back to reality "ummm so what's for lunch?" Ai asked while still in shock. Kouga was a little happy from the change of subject. He knew that she would probably never let him live it down if he didn't do something. Everything he spoke was truth, but he was just glad she let him off without so much as a slap. "we got pig. What part do you want? Ribs? Liver?....." Kouga asked "oh.....ummm..... I'll take whatever you guys don't want." Ai said. "but this is just for you" Kouga said. "I couldn't eat all of this by myself though! At least have some with me. Please Kouga? Ginta?" Ai said with a puppy dog face put on. "oh all right" Kouga said, he couldn't stand the puppy dog face. "ok! I was getting a little hungry anyways" Ginta said. "You guys take whatever you want. I'm not that picky" Ai offered. "I guess I'll take the liver then" Ginta said. (*(WARNING!!!! If you have a weak stomach {or just don't like gore} I suggest you skip down to the little row of stars. It ain't that bad. But it's enough to make your stomach turn a little maybe)*) Kouga then reached over to the pig and ripped the flesh so that he had access to the meat. Then stuck his hand in the bloody corpse and pulled out the liver. "here ya go" Kouga said handing him the bloody liver. He then reached back in and broke off some ribs for himself. Ai flinched at the disgusting sound of the bones being broken like a twig. "that was the grossest thing I have ever heard and saw in my life....." Kouga looked at her and then back at the ribs. "sorry.....I guess you've never killed a pig for your meal then." "actually.....I have just never seem someone rip open the flesh with their bare hands and dig for the part that they wanted....." Ai gave a shiver at remembering what she had just described. "oh yeah! I forgot. Humans eat their food cooked. Sorry about that Ai" Kouga said putting on a small smile. "it's ok.....I'll just have to get used to it considering that I'll be living here" Ai said smiling back at him. "so you are going to stay after all! Great!" Kouga said smiling "so.....what part do you want?" "I'll take the other side of ribs if you don't want them." Kouga started to reach in before he stopped "do you want to plug your ears?" "I think that would be best for now....." ***************************************************************** They spent the next half hour eating. "hey Ai. I think it's about time to check your bandages. But you better do it. Now that you're conscious and all" Kouga said with a faint blush upon his face. "what do I check for?" "to see if the bleeding has stopped and if blood has gone through the bandaging. I'll go over here. Don't worry I won't peak" Kouga said giving her a reassuring smile. About five minutes later Kouga came back to where Ai was. "So. What's the report?" Kouga asked. "well. I'm not bleeding anymore, but the blood leaked through the bandages before it stopped" "ok. In that case I'll take you to springs to get the dried blood off and clean yourself. Then we can change your bandaging" "'we'?" Ai questioned. "unless you think you can bandage yourself in your condition. Oh! And we have some armor made for you too" Kouga said. "you can wear it to the springs" "thank you" Ai said shyly. "I'll go get it. Then you can put it on" Kouga said starting to walk off. Kouga came back about three minutes later. "here ya go" Kouga said handing her the armor and fur kilt (I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT IT!!! Because I will not say that Kouga wears a skirt. No way! Not gonna! P) Ai took the two items carefully. "thank you Kouga!" Ai said giving Kouga a slight hug "this really means a lot to me." she said smiling at him beautifully. Kouga just stared at her as a small smile came across his face. "no.....no prob" He then started to walk away. Ai just smiled at his retreating figure. She the started to put on the armor and such.
Kouga waited outside the cave for Ai. He really truly did like her.....almost even love. 'maybe she will be the one to heal my heart from Kagome' Ai then walked outside of the cave. The armor she wore wrapped around her upper chest and left shoulder leaving her stomach open for public viewing. She also wore two little 'leg warmers' ,as she thought it, that came up to her knees. And of course the fur skirt/kilt (now it's on a girl.....GAH!!! So CONFUSING!!!). "looks like it fits ya perfectly!" Kouga complimented. Ai nodded beaming that Kouga liked it. "you ready to go?" Kouga asked? "yup!" Ai replied. "I'll carry you there. Ok?" Kouga asked. "ok. But if you don't want to....." before she could finish, Kouga picked her up and started to ruin toward the hot springs. Ai cursed under her breath every second. So to Kouga.....he just heard her going "shit shit shit ....." He smiled at her. "It's ok. I'm not gonna hit a tree or drop you." Ai looked up at him. He just smiled at her. She smiled a little finding comfort in him. She nodded and started thinking of it all being like a roller coaster.
Kouga then stopped at the spring. "you might want to take off the armor so it doesn't make ya sink. She knew that it weighed a lot and motioned for him to turn around before taking off the armor. She took off the 'leg warmers' and decided to leave on the skirt thing. Ai then walked slowly into the freezing water. When she turned back around to make sure Kouga didn't peak. She saw him, back turned, taking off his armor. "O///O ummm.....Kouga?" He turned back around and looked at her eye to eye "what? You don't expect to be able to clean yourself in your condition do you? I doubt you'll be able to reach your back without being in pain" smiling at her with worried eyes. He walked into the water and went behind her. "just relax and I'll get the dried blood off you" He slowly started to rub her back removing the blood. Ai slowly started to unravel the bandages around her arms. She still had the bandages around her chest to take off but decided to wait until she absolutely had to. She started to rub at her arms and shoulders. Kouga grabbed one of her hands and rested his head on the other. "you do know that if you don't take off all of the bandages that dried blood will be harder and harder to rub off." Kouga stated. Ai had been able to relax and not freak out that there was a half naked man behind, but she wasn't conferrable about letting herself be exposed to him. "it's ok. You can get the blood off of yourself there. I'll give you a massage there if you want" Kouga said slyly "sure. That's sounds nice" Ai said. "O///O I was just kidding! But ....." "so was I. Ha! You're embarrassed about me being naked in front of you!" Ai said triumphantly "you aren't all that tough are you? You're just as shy as me!" Kouga couldn't answer. He wasn't expecting what she had said. His head still lay on her shoulder and he glared at her "you are pure evil....." Kouga said "you aren't supposed to make guys embarrassed! That's.....That's just WRONG!!" Kouga said looking away in a pouting motion, including crossing his arms over his chest and not making eye contact. All Ai could do was try not to laugh.....she failed. "you look *gasp for air* sooooo funny! *gasp for air*" she said while laughing in between every word. While Ai laughed Kouga came up behind her. "take a deep breath now" Kouga said. "wha.....?" Kouga dunked her. Ai came up for air as soon as she could. "Hey!" and with that, she tried to push him over. He stood like a mountain, unmovable. She pulled and pushed and tackled. But she didn't get anywhere. Kouga just smirked at her attempts. Finally she took a deep breath and went under water. She wrapped her arms around his legs and pulled them out from underneath him. Before he could come up for air, Ai started to swim as fast as she could. She only made half way across before she tired out from wounds. Kouga was only five feet away when he noticed her wearing down. He caught up with her in no time flat. "hey. Did you already forget about those wounds?" He asked while cradling her to his chest and swimming back to the shallow area. Ai's face was slightly pink and her breathing was quick and deep. "you.....started it....." Ai said breathing heavily. ".....but you finished it" he said hoping that he had won. "so?" "¬.¬ there is absolutely no point in fighting with you.....I'm just gonna loose" Kouga said in defeat/annoyance "yup" Ai said. "I guess I have to clean you up now..... You have no commonsense what so ever" Kouga sighed. "I guess I don't.....considering that I'm letting you.....undress me and then rub my chest....." "hey, hey, hey! I'm trying to help you here. Not be a pervert!" Ai just smiled at his comment. He then sat down in shallow water putting her on his lap and started to unravel the bandaging. Ai's hands came up to cover herself though. He just smiled at her shyness. "you're gonna have to move once I get down to this gash though" Kouga said pointing out a rather large cut that sliced diagonally through the middle of her chest. Ai nodded. Kouga slowly rubbed off all the blood, making sure he didn't hurt her. Once he got every spot but the gash, he looked up at her "ok. You have to move now." She slowly removed her hands and Kouga began rubbing off the blood starting at the top. Suddenly when he was half way through, Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo walk through an opening to Kouga and Ai's right. "K-Kouga?" Kagome asked looking at the scene before her. "you're a bigger pervert that Miroku!" Inuyasha stated. Ai had long before covered herself up and ducked into deeper water. Kagome quickly removed a towel from her backpack and motioned for Ai to cover herself up with it. "It wasn't what it looked like dog-breath" Kouga snarled as Inuyasha continued to tick him off. "sure it wasn't wolfy" Inuyasha sneered. "Kouga's telling the truth! He was helping me clean my wounds!" Ai yelled at Inuyasha from where she stood in the slightly shallow water. "And just who are you fair lady?" Miroku asked offering a hand. Ai didn't take the offered hand, because she could see a perverted smile, and stepped out of the water "my name is Ai" "and what village do you come from?" Miroku questioned 'innocently' "I am part of the wolf-demon tribe" "what?!"
YAY!!! It's finished!!!! WHOOOO!!! Long chapter huh? I just couldn't find a good place to stop. Oh well. I bet ya liked the longer chapter for a change! I know I did! Ok! Till chapter 5! Ja!
