Hey guys. Sorry I took so long. I had a camp to go to…and all of these other things to do. I'll update my other story eventually…whenever I choose where to go with it next. Like I said, I'm not really sure what to do with it. All help is appreciated. Well, anyways. Here's chapter 5. Disclaimer:

I don't own InuYasha or its characters… so get these dang handcuffs off of me!!!

vein pulse

Kagome finally got situated to where she was sure Koga couldn't ahem see anything. She then realized that she had no idea how she had arrived there in the first place. She worked up the courage to face Koga, and was shocked to see him looking at her with a smile on his face and…wait. Was that amusement in his eyes? Shouldn't there be anger, and maybe even sorrow in his eyes instead? She was fighting her hardest to keep from bursting at Koga with all of these questions and more. Instead, she settled for getting straight to the point, the reason why she was even there.

Apologizing.

"Koga…"

"No Kagome. Don't. Don't say it."

Kagome was confused. She had gotten only one word out, and yet he had stopped her as if he knew what she was saying, before she even said it.

"Koga, what are you talking about?"

"I know you were going to apologize Kagome. I know you were, just call it…instinct. I just want you to know right now that I don't want to hear it."

"But Koga, you have to hear me out. You didn't see what happened before…well…that. You see, InuYasha was in demon form and there was no other way to stop him and…oh Koga. Please don't be mad at me! I'm really…"

"Kagome, I think you misunderstood. When I said I didn't want to hear your apology, it was because I didn't need to. Not because I was mad."

"Didn't need to? But Koga…I don't understand. I'm so sorry about what happened Koga. I really am."

"Kagome let me explain. I'm not mad at you for what happened. Not really. I understand what's going on, and I'm…ok with it. So… you see… sometimes apologies aren't needed."

Kagome was shocked at how wise Koga had sounded with those words. She knew that he wasn't stupid (no matter what InuYasha said to disagree), but she never thought he could be wise.

"But, Koga…"

Koga just shook his head and stood up.

"Kagome. You should get some rest. You're still weak and probably sick. I'll come and check on you soon."

"Well…ok Koga. I will. Thank you."

"Doitashimashite. Sleep well."

"Daijoubu…"

Kagome was rather glad that Koga had left her to sleep. Truth be told, she wasn't sure how much longer she could've kept going anyway. She fell fast asleep, thinking over her previous conversation with Koga.

"InuYasha."

"….."

"InuYasha!!!"

"……………"

"Grrrr…INUYASHA!!!!!"

THUD Oops…InuYasha had fallen out of his tree.

"Dait…what the he do you want?"

He looked up to see an angry Sango and a serious Miroku standing above him.

"InuYasha. When are we going to retrieve Kagome from Koga? We have to do it as soon as possible. It's not like we can let her stay…"

InuYasha cut Sango short. He didn't want to listen to her criticism. Not today.

"Why not? Why can't we let her stay? If she's happy with that mangy wolf…she can stay with him. I don't care what she does."

long pause…

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Sango and Miroku stared at him. They couldn't believe what he just said! InuYasha? Ok with Kagome being with Koga? No way…that's impossible. Something must be wrong.

InuYasha just turned his head.

What nothing. I really don't care what she does. She could stay with him forever and I wouldn't mind a bit. Now just leave me alone about it…"

It was then that he noticed that Sango and Miroku weren't listening to him, but were instead about 20 feet along the path and heading further.

"What? Hey! Guys! Ok fine! We'll go get her! "

InuYasha chased after them. They all headed towards the wolf caves, or at least the general direction of it. They weren't necessarily sure where the caves were specifically…

Yea, I know. Sappy/Stupid chapter. As I said, I've had a lot to do and it's kept me distracted. I already know how I'm going to end this…but I have to find a way to get there first! Lol. I'll try to add some more comic relief to it whenever I can. Thx to all that reviewed! And to all that WILL review….
