Chapter 5: Keeping secrets and babysitting
Chapter 5: Secrets
Ginta and Hakkaku were now practically jogging, they had been running as fast as they could for the past hour looking for Kouga and now that they knew where he was they decided to slow down a little. They knew Kouga wouldn't be in a hurry to leave Kagome.
"You know, I've been thinking", Ginta puffed, quite out of breath.
"Yeah?", Hakkaku breathed back.
"If sister Kagome is Kouga's mate, why does she persist to help Inuyasha?", he stopped to catch his breath, leaning over with his hands on his knees. "And if he's so worried about Inuyasha taking sister Kagome away, how come he doesn't just travel with them?"
Hakkaku gave him a blank stare, confused even. "Ya know...I never thought of it...maybe he feels he has obligations to the pack, he is our leader after all"
Ginta shrugged his shoulders, "I guess your right, but if they're separated so often...when do they ever plan to have pups?"
Just then there was an awkward silence, then they both turned around to the sound of rustling. Then a huge blob of red and silver flew by, but they didn't have to see it to know who it was.
"Inuyasha?", Hakkaku said, "Wow, he moves pretty fast!"
"Ahh! He's going after Kouga! We gotta go help him!", Ginta cried.
Hakkaku groaned, then both reluctantly began running after the blood thirsty hanyou.
'I'll get him this time, now that Kagome's not here she can't protect him!', Inuyasha stormed through the mess of branches in the trees with bloodlust...and a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
He could hear Ginta and Hakkaku far behind him, crying out for him to stop, but of course he didn't. The last thing Inuyasha was going to do was listen to a mangy wolf.
He finally made it to the clearing, seeing that no one was there made him disappointed, but then his nose was assaulted with Kouga's scent. Even though it was faint he stood alert nonetheless.
Inuyasha's eyes scraped over the landscape until he settled on a certain hut, 'he as to be in there!'
He made is way towards the shack chuckling evilly to himself, 'gotcha now!'.
Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kaede were sitting quietly in the hut, digesting everything in their heads....well all except Miroku, he had been dreaming of Kagome's time.
"KOUGA! Get out here ya wimpy wolf! Let's settle this once and for all!"
They all jumped at the sound of Inuyasha's bellowing.
'Oh no! I forgot all about Inuyasha!', Sango's eyes widened.
"Well", Miroku picked himself up off the futon with his staff, "this won't be a pretty sight when he hears the news".
"No!", Sango blurted in a loud rasping whisper, but quieted down a bit because she knew Inuyasha would have been able to hear her, "You can't tell Inuyasha that Kouga's with Kagome!"
"But why not my dear Sango?", Miroku replied in his usual voice.
"Keep it down!", she whispered angrily, "because if Inuyasha hears that Kouga's with her in her time alone, he'll go nuts! Plus I don't want him dragging her back here only to yell at her for it, especially when it was an accident!"
Miroku's eyes softened, he too didn't want to see poor Kagome bellowed at by Inuyasha especially since he knew she was hurt by it, "Okay we won't tell him now, but we will have to sooner or later"
Sango smiled up at him and mouthed a "thanks" to him, which caused him to raise a delicate eyebrow, "don't push your luck monk!"
Kaede and Shippou just stood there on the sidelines listening to the conversation. Shippou agreed with the idea fully, he didn't want Inuyasha to yell at his surrogate mother. Kaede on the other hand wasn't so sure about the notion but she decided not to argue.
"Don't make me tear down the hut!!!", Inuyasha's voice thundered.
Miroku sighed and left to walk out the door, "Hey Inuyasha, where have you been we were starting to get worried?"
"Spare me the crap Miroku!", he scowled at the smiling monk, "where's the fucking wolf?!"
"Well Inuyasha, I assure you he isn't here!", Miroku said with a false smile.
The hanyou's eyebrows lowered even more, "Don't lie to me monk! I can smell em'!"
"He's telling the truth Inuyasha", Sango appeared out of the hut, "We haven't seen him!"
Inuyasha growled in disbelief and folded his arms, sniffing the air once more, 'he has to be here I can smell him!', he thought while eyeing the hut.
"If you don't believe us you can look for yourself!", Sango stated quite annoyed at the fact that he didn't believe her.
Inuyasha gave a 'hmph!', and walked by them and peered through the straw door. All he saw when he looked in was the old hag sipping tea and Shippou sitting down on the floor smiling at him innocently as if on cue when he saw Inuyasha. What surprised him the most was the fact that Kouga's scent couldn't be detected at all in hut. He looked back Shippou whose smile had fallen again but as soon as he made eye contact with the hanyou, he gave him that smile again.
'brat', Inuyasha thought before turning around to face the demon exterminator and monk again.
"Believe us now Inuyasha?", Miroku said smugly.
The hanyou glared at him before walking over to the side of the hut and sitting down in the soft grass and leaning against it.
'At least Kouga never got to her', he thought with a sigh of relief.
Sango also sighed in contentment, 'at least he believed me'.
Just then, shouts of Inuyasha's name could be heard coming from the forest. They all looked up in curiosity...well all except Inuyasha, who unfortunately knew what was making the horrible cries.
Ginta and Hakkaku emerged from the forest and suddenly stopped when they saw the three jewel hunters staring at them...but no Kouga.
Ginta's lip began to tremble and he began to cry, "You killed him!", he shouted while pointing a shaky finger at Inuyasha. Hakkaku stood still in disbelief that their prince had been slain and they weren't there to help.
Inuyasha scoffed and stalked towards the whimpering wolf on the ground and grabbed him by the scruff at the front of his armor, "Shut up ya stupid wolf! I never killed him! But I'll kill you if you don't stop your whining!"
Ginta got off the ground where Inuyasha had dropped him and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Y-you never?", he stuttered, "then where is he?"
Sango laughed nervously, she didn't know what to tell the sobbing wolf demon but she did manage to say something, "Well he's not here!"
"So we lost him?," Hakkaku finally said.
Ginta's lip trembled again, "We lost him!", then he broke down and cried again.
Everyone standing around sweat dropped, even Hakkaku was embarrassed.
"Just calm down", Sango said in a soothing tone, "it's getting dark, so why don't you stay here with us for the night and we'll go look for Kouga tomorrow morning okay?"
Both Inuyasha and Miroku looked astonished.
'Now how does Sango propose we find someone who isn't even in this era anymore?', Miroku thought while scratching his head.
****************************************
"No, no, no Kouga we're not sitting on babies, Mama means that she wants us to take care of Souta while she's gone", Kagome put on a disappointed frown, "that means we can't go to the mall! That sucks"
"Oh, well that's relief...so uh...does that mean we can't go umm.... 'shopping'?"
"Yeah, but Souta's not even home, he must be at Yoh's!", she made a re-assuring smile to herself, "I'll just phone and tell him to stay there till we get back!"
She walked over to her phone and began to dial a number while facing away from a curious wolf demon.
Kouga didn't really have a clue on what she was doing, but it seemed to be the same thing her mother had been doing. He decided to pay no heed to it and began to poke around her room.
@@@@@@@@on the phone@@@@
"Yoh! Is Souta there?.....Can I speak to him please?"
"Hello?"
"Souta, do you think you can stay there for a while until I get back from the mall?"
"Where's mom?"
"She's gone out for a while"
"Oh okay"
"Hey Kagome what is this?", Kouga's voice blared out from the background.
"Is Inuyasha there!?"
"No no he isn't!"
"I'll see ya soon sis!"
*CLICK*
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Kagome's face turned cross as her ear connected with an annoying constant *beep*
"Ugh!", she scoffed, "Why couldn't you stay quiet just for a minute? Now we'll never get to the ma-."
Kagome went bugeyed and she wasn't sure if turned crimson red from embarrassment or snow white from horror! Kouga just so happened to be poking through her drawers while she wasn't looking , and was now examining a pair of her underwear he had found, thongs, to make it worse.
Kouga couldn't make out exactly what he was holding but he liked it. It was silky and laced and very soft against his skin. He held it up in front of his face, flipping it from front to back, front to back.
Kagome ran over and grabbed the undergarment away from him. "Give me that!" Why were you poking through my stuff?", she asked slightly embarrassed but tried to stay calm and serious.
"I didn't mean to do anything wrong, it's just I find your den very interesting, especially that little article there...what do you call it? What exactly would you use it for?", he asked innocently while watching Kagome sling the silky garment back in the drawer and slide it shut.
"I don't feel like discussing that information right now!", she took a deep breath to calm herself down, "Now because of you, Souta on his way over and we can't go shopping! *sigh* I'll be downstairs", she said before calmly exiting the room.
Kouga didn't feel bad, he actually wanted to meet Kagome's brother, plus he didn't even know what shopping was; so missing out on it didn't bother him.
As soon as her heard her footsteps go down the stairs, he opened the drawer and pulled the silky garment out. He felt the soft material once more before he stuffed it in the pocket of his 'pants' that were lying on the bed, 'Kagome won't notice', then he left to go downstairs to find the girl.
He finally came across the door where Kagome's scent was strongest and slid it open. He found her sitting on what seem to be a giant fluffy chair? While staring into a box listening to some strange people talking to her and each other.
'I'm not even going to ask anymore', he thought staring at the 'box'. He then turned his gaze back to Kagome, 'I hope she's not mad at me'.
Kagome looked up to Kouga who was giving her a worried face and smiled sweetly at him but his expression never changed.
He walked over and sat down beside her expecting to land on a solid surface despite it's appearance, but he lost his balance at his landing and toppled over on Kagome which caused a light-hearted smile to pass through her lips.
"Hey watch where your landing ya klutz!", she said playfully pushing him off of her.
Kouga laughed slightly but only because he saw her happy face again, then his face went stern again, "Kagome...you're not mad at me are you?"
She was a little surprised at his question, but didn't doubt why he was feeling that way, but she gave him a small smile "of course not! I'm just not very excited about babysitting my annoying little brother".
Kouga gave himself a sigh of relief, the last thing he wanted was the girl he loved mad at him, then he smiled back her, "So Kagome?", she looked at him, "What do you call this.....spirit box?" he asked pointing to the TV.
She smiled sweetly and went on to tell him what it was and it's purpose. They sat there on the couch for a while as Kouga flicked the channels all over the place with the remote, he was truly fascinated with the object.
The door suddenly slid open, "Inuyash--!", Souta froze when he saw Kouga rather than his hero and almost looked disappointed until he spotted Kouga's tail flip out from behind him.
"Whoa Cool!", he ran over and plopped on the couch next to Kouga, "This guy has a tail! Do you know Inuyasha? What's your name?!"
"Hey let go of my tail!", Kouga cried at the child who was poking and prodding at him, 'this kid's worse than the woman!'
Kagome gave an annoyed sigh, "Souta, leave Kouga alone!", she smiled like nothing happened as soon as she got the boy's attention, "Where's grandpa?"
"He went downtown to look for sutra and stuff", Souta replied gawking mindlessly at Kouga's tail.
"I should have thought so, oh well not that I'm stuck with you I'd better get supper ready", then she looked to Kouga, "Do you mind keeping Souta busy?"
He looked at her in fear, "Wha-," then she gave him a pleading face, 'I can't say no to her!', "Sure", he let himself say reluctantly.
"Wicked! Do you like video games?!", Souta squealed.
Kouga looked around and saw that Kagome had retreated then his gaze fell upon the beaming face of Souta and sighed in defeat.
"Follow me! I'll show you my room and then we can play with my play station, I hope your better than Inuyasha!"
At the sound of Inuyasha's name, Kouga tensed, "Damn right I'm better than Dog-Breath, I can beat him at anything!"
"We'll see about that, I'm the best video gamer in the WORLD!"
Kagome was in the kitchen listening to the two boast about their skills, "Well at least there getting along...kinda"
After a stressful time trying to persuade Kouga that the stir fry was eatable, Kagome got stuck with cleaning the mess since Souta practically dragged Kouga back up to him room.
"Ah, now I can have some peace and quiet to study", she said to herself while grabbing her book bag and taking out her math book. She walked into the living room and plopped on the couch.
About 30 minutes later, she heard footsteps running down the stairs and into the kitchen. Being the curious girl she was Kagome went to investigate.
"Souta?", she asked the small boy who was getting a glass of milk.
"Oh, hi sis! I'm just getting a drink!", he replied hastily.
"Yeah I can see that...but how come your not wearing any pants?"
"Cause Kouga's not wearing any, and if he doesn't have to wear any than I don't either!"
"Oh?", Kagome had forgotten all about Kouga's lack of pants, "And how's the gaming going?"
"Whoa! You should see Kouga play, after I showed him the controls, he totally kicked my butt! He's awesome, and he told me all about his wolf pack and all the demons he killed, and, and....He's the BEST!"
Kagome sweat dropped, "That's...nice, but I thought you said Inuyasha was the best?"
"Inuyasha's still cool but Kouga's awesome! Plus did you know Inuyasha's real name was Dog-shit!? No wonder he's so grouchy all the time!"
"Souta! Don't ever say that word!"
"But Kouga and Inuyasha say it all the time!?"
If Kouga and Inuyasha jumped off a cliff, would you?!", Kagome jeered.
"Well there like the coolest people I've ever met...so...YEAH!"
Kagome's face dropped to a goofy frown, "ugh! Souta put your pajama pants back on, brush your teeth and go to bed!", she demanded before climbing up the stairs to find Kouga.
"Kouga!", she shouted out.
"Yes my love?!", she heard him yell back before he instantly appeared before her with a big smile.
She sweat dropped at hearing 'my love' but quickly shrugged it off and got back to the point, "Your not suppose to say word like 'shit' in front of Souta! He's only 10!"
Kouga put his head down and held her hands, "I'm sorry, I don't realize what I say half the time...are you mad at me?"
"Slightly, but I can forgive you if you can find a better name for Inuyasha than...Dog-shit", she stated simply taking her hand away from him and folding her arms.
"No Problem! Anything for you!", Kouga smiled.
"NIGHT SIS! NIGHT KOUGA!", Souta yelled to them before slamming his bedroom door.
Kagome gave a relieved sigh, 'well at least I don't have to worry about him for the rest of the night"
"Um, Kagome?", Kouga spoke up, causing her to look back up to him awaiting the rest of his question, "before your mother left, she said something about us keeping it down while Souta was asleep because he wasn't used to hearing it...exactly what are we going to be doing?"
Kagome's face went pale, she knew exactly what her mother was talking about, 'I totally forgot that Kouga's suppose to be my boyfriend...I can't believe my mother said that to him, oh God...how am I going to tell him this?'
Kouga watched the emotions of embarrassment, confusion and worry play across the face of the girl in front of him.
"Kagome?"
She suddenly snapped out of her daze when she heard her name, "Um...there's something we need to talk about Kouga", se took a deep breath, "I have to go downstairs and get my books first, you can wait in my room...then we'll talk"
Kouga was now very perplexed but he left to go to her room like she told him, thinking that something had to be wrong, while Kagome trotted down the stairs; thinking of how she was going to explain the situation without making Kouga too excited.
Kouga had been waiting patiently in Kagome's room, 'I wonder what she needs to talk about? Maybe she'll finally confess her love for me!', his face beamed, 'no, that can't be it, she looked too worried to give me such good news', his face fell again.
Kagome walked into her room and over to her desk where she laid down her books and sat on the chair across from Kouga, who was starring at her quite attentively.
Kouga took a deep breath and inhaled her intoxicating scent, 'hmm, she's nervous? Maybe she IS going to confess her feelings for me after all!'
Kagome felt Kouga hold her hands which actually made her even more nervous to tell him the 'news', 'being as stubborn as he is, he'll probably think it's going to be real', she took a deep breath before she started, "Okay, remember earlier, when my mother thought you were my boyfriend?"
"Uh huh", Kouga replied eagerly, 'what's she getting at?'
"Well...", 'okay Kagome, let it out fast so he can't pick it out!', "nowyoureallyhavetopretendtobemyboyfriendbecauseifItoldmymotheryouweren'titwouldbreakherheart *deep breath* SonowyouhavetobemyboyfrienduntilwegetbacktotheFeudalEra!"
Kouga just sat there in front of her starring deep into her eyes and blinked a few times until the information processed through his head. Then he smiled to himself, 'that's good enough!...for now'
He let go of her hands and slid back on the bed until he was leaning against the wall, then he put his hands behind his head, "Of course Kagome, I have no problem PRETENDING to be your boyfriend"
"Just so you know, it's NOT real!", she corrected thinking maybe he took it wrong.
"I didn't say it was, but I am at your service to be whatever you want me to be", he said smirking but looking innocent.
'Well that was easy enough', Kagome thought.
"So if I'm your boyfriend, what does that make you?", he asked, even though it was simple enough that he knew the answer, he just wanted Kagome to say it.
"Your girlfriend", Kagome said reluctantly, wishing she could have thought of something better...well safer for him to be.
Kouga smirked, 'so I have Kagome as my mate for a week, and since we have to make this convincing.....', Kouga's thoughts traveled off thinking about all the things he could do to take advantage of the situation.
"So Kagome, do we get the same privileges of one another during our...charade?"
Kagome went bugeyed as she raised his eyebrows seductively, "No!"
"But how else are we going to make it believable?", he said in a desirable tone.
"Kouga your worse than Miroku!", she said as a rosy pink graced her cheeks.
Kouga laughed at her, "Calm down love, you know I would never do anything like that....unless you wanted me to of course?", then he gave her a sweet, charming smile.
'I wish he wouldn't smile at me or speak to me like that, it makes him look so...hot? Well at least he's a yummy 'boyfriend'!', she couldn't help but smile back at him, "sorry Kouga, I know you would never do that, no one's worse than Miroku"
"Kagome! I'm Home!", Kagome's mother yelled up the stairs.
Before Kagome could leave the room to go greet the woman, he bedroom door flung open, "Hi honey! How was bab-," she starred at the two 'lovers' for a moment, "oopsies, I didn't mean to interrupt you two!"
Kagome sweat dropped, "No mama...we were just talking!", Kouga's expression held a smile, but when Kagome gave him a quick glare his expression went stern.
"Oh...okay, I just wanted to tell you I was home, I hope Souta wasn't any trouble?", she looked at Kouga while asking this, but he wasn't looking at her, his eyes never left Kagome.
She smiled, "Kouga dear?", Kouga's eyes wandered over to the older woman, "Kagome tends to be a blanket hog, so brace yourself!", then she left with a soft giggle.
Kouga's head turned slowly to Kagome with a huge smile, he knew what the woman meant by what she had said earlier now and then he added in a seductive tone, "And we have to try and keep the noise down, I hope you can control yourself love"

Chapter 5: Keeping secrets and babysitting
Chapter 5: Secrets
Ginta and Hakkaku were now practically jogging, they had been running as fast as they could for the past hour looking for Kouga and now that they knew where he was they decided to slow down a little. They knew Kouga wouldn't be in a hurry to leave Kagome.
"You know, I've been thinking", Ginta puffed, quite out of breath.

"If sister Kagome is Kouga's mate, why does she persist to help Inuyasha?", he stopped to catch his breath, leaning over with his hands on his knees. "And if he's so worried about Inuyasha taking sister Kagome away, how come he doesn't just travel with them?"
Hakkaku gave him a blank stare, confused even. "Ya know...I never thought of it...maybe he feels he has obligations to the pack, he is our leader after all"
Ginta shrugged his shoulders, "I guess your right, but if they're separated so often...when do they ever plan to have pups?"
Just then there was an awkward silence, then they both turned around to the sound of rustling. Then a huge blob of red and silver flew by, but they didn't have to see it to know who it was.
"Inuyasha?", Hakkaku said, "Wow, he moves pretty fast!"
"Ahh! He's going after Kouga! We gotta go help him!", Ginta cried.
Hakkaku groaned, then both reluctantly began running after the blood thirsty hanyou.
'I'll get him this time, now that Kagome's not here she can't protect him!', Inuyasha stormed through the mess of branches in the trees with bloodlust...and a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
He could hear Ginta and Hakkaku far behind him, crying out for him to stop, but of course he didn't. The last thing Inuyasha was going to do was listen to a mangy wolf.
He finally made it to the clearing, seeing that no one was there made him disappointed, but then his nose was assaulted with Kouga's scent. Even though it was faint he stood alert nonetheless.
Inuyasha's eyes scraped over the landscape until he settled on a certain hut, 'he as to be in there!'
He made is way towards the shack chuckling evilly to himself, 'gotcha now!'.
Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kaede were sitting quietly in the hut, digesting everything in their heads....well all except Miroku, he had been dreaming of Kagome's time.
"KOUGA! Get out here ya wimpy wolf! Let's settle this once and for all!"
They all jumped at the sound of Inuyasha's bellowing.
'Oh no! I forgot all about Inuyasha!', Sango's eyes widened.
"Well", Miroku picked himself up off the futon with his staff, "this won't be a pretty sight when he hears the news".
"No!", Sango blurted in a loud rasping whisper, but quieted down a bit because she knew Inuyasha would have been able to hear her, "You can't tell Inuyasha that Kouga's with Kagome!"
"But why not my dear Sango?", Miroku replied in his usual voice.

Sango smiled up at him and mouthed a "thanks" to him, which caused him to raise a delicate eyebrow, "don't push your luck monk!"
Kaede and Shippou just stood there on the sidelines listening to the conversation. Shippou agreed with the idea fully, he didn't want Inuyasha to yell at his surrogate mother. Kaede on the other hand wasn't so sure about the notion but she decided not to argue.
"Don't make me tear down the hut!!!", Inuyasha's voice thundered.
Miroku sighed and left to walk out the door, "Hey Inuyasha, where have you been we were starting to get worried?"
"Spare me the crap Miroku!", he scowled at the smiling monk, "where's the fucking wolf?!"
"Well Inuyasha, I assure you he isn't here!", Miroku said with a false smile.
The hanyou's eyebrows lowered even more, "Don't lie to me monk! I can smell em'!"
"He's telling the truth Inuyasha", Sango appeared out of the hut, "We haven't seen him!"
Inuyasha growled in disbelief and folded his arms, sniffing the air once more, 'he has to be here I can smell him!', he thought while eyeing the hut.
"If you don't believe us you can look for yourself!", Sango stated quite annoyed at the fact that he didn't believe her.

What surprised him the most was the fact that Kouga's scent couldn't be detected at all in hut. He looked back Shippou whose smile had fallen again but as soon as he made eye contact with the hanyou, he gave him that smile again.

'At least Kouga never got to her', he thought with a sigh of relief.

Ginta and Hakkaku emerged from the forest and suddenly stopped when they saw the three jewel hunters staring at them...but no Kouga.
Ginta's lip began to tremble and he began to cry, "You killed him!", he shouted while pointing a shaky finger at Inuyasha. Hakkaku stood still in disbelief that their prince had been slain and they weren't there to help.
Inuyasha scoffed and stalked towards the whimpering wolf on the ground and grabbed him by the scruff at the front of his armor, "Shut up ya stupid wolf! I never killed him! But I'll kill you if you don't stop your whining!"
Ginta got off the ground where Inuyasha had dropped him and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Y-you never?", he stuttered, "then where is he?"
Sango laughed nervously, she didn't know what to tell the sobbing wolf demon but she did manage to say something, "Well he's not here!"
"So we lost him?," Hakkaku finally said.
Ginta's lip trembled again, "We lost him!", then he broke down and cried again.
Everyone standing around sweat dropped, even Hakkaku was embarrassed.
"Just calm down", Sango said in a soothing tone, "it's getting dark, so why don't you stay here with us for the night and we'll go look for Kouga tomorrow morning okay?"
Both Inuyasha and Miroku looked astonished.
'Now how does Sango propose we find someone who isn't even in this era anymore?', Miroku thought while scratching his head.
****************************************
"No, no, no Kouga we're not sitting on babies, Mama means that she wants us to take care of Souta while she's gone", Kagome put on a disappointed frown, "that means we can't go to the mall! That sucks"
"Oh, well that's relief...so uh...does that mean we can't go umm.... 'shopping'?"
"Yeah, but Souta's not even home, he must be at Yoh's!", she made a re-assuring smile to herself, "I'll just phone and tell him to stay there till we get back!"
She walked over to her phone and began to dial a number while facing away from a curious wolf demon.
Kouga didn't really have a clue on what she was doing, but it seemed to be the same thing her mother had been doing. He decided to pay no heed to it and began to poke around her room.
@@@@@@@@on the phone@@@@
"Yoh! Is Souta there?.....Can I speak to him please?"
"Hello?"
"Souta, do you think you can stay there for a while until I get back from the mall?"
"Where's mom?"
"She's gone out for a while"
"Oh okay"
"Hey Kagome what is this?", Kouga's voice blared out from the background.
"Is Inuyasha there!?"
"No no he isn't!"
"I'll see ya soon sis!"
*CLICK*
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Kagome's face turned cross as her ear connected with an annoying constant *beep*
"Ugh!", she scoffed, "Why couldn't you stay quiet just for a minute? Now we'll never get to the ma-."
Kagome went bugeyed and she wasn't sure if turned crimson red from embarrassment or snow white from horror! Kouga just so happened to be poking through her drawers while she wasn't looking , and was now examining a pair of her underwear he had found, thongs, to make it worse.
Kouga couldn't make out exactly what he was holding but he liked it. It was silky and laced and very soft against his skin. He held it up in front of his face, flipping it from front to back, front to back.
Kagome ran over and grabbed the undergarment away from him. "Give me that!" Why were you poking through my stuff?", she asked slightly embarrassed but tried to stay calm and serious.
"I didn't mean to do anything wrong, it's just I find your den very interesting, especially that little article there...what do you call it? What exactly would you use it for?", he asked innocently while watching Kagome sling the silky garment back in the drawer and slide it shut.
"I don't feel like discussing that information right now!", she took a deep breath to calm herself down, "Now because of you, Souta on his way over and we can't go shopping! *sigh* I'll be downstairs", she said before calmly exiting the room.
Kouga didn't feel bad, he actually wanted to meet Kagome's brother, plus he didn't even know what shopping was; so missing out on it didn't bother him.
As soon as her heard her footsteps go down the stairs, he opened the drawer and pulled the silky garment out. He felt the soft material once more before he stuffed it in the pocket of his 'pants' that were lying on the bed, 'Kagome won't notice', then he left to go downstairs to find the girl.
He finally came across the door where Kagome's scent was strongest and slid it open. He found her sitting on what seem to be a giant fluffy chair? While staring into a box listening to some strange people talking to her and each other.
'I'm not even going to ask anymore', he thought staring at the 'box'. He then turned his gaze back to Kagome, 'I hope she's not mad at me'.
Kagome looked up to Kouga who was giving her a worried face and smiled sweetly at him but his expression never changed.
He walked over and sat down beside her expecting to land on a solid surface despite it's appearance, but he lost his balance at his landing and toppled over on Kagome which caused a light-hearted smile to pass through her lips.
"Hey watch where your landing ya klutz!", she said playfully pushing him off of her.
Kouga laughed slightly but only because he saw her happy face again, then his face went stern again, "Kagome...you're not mad at me are you?"
She was a little surprised at his question, but didn't doubt why he was feeling that way, but she gave him a small smile "of course not! I'm just not very excited about babysitting my annoying little brother".
Kouga gave himself a sigh of relief, the last thing he wanted was the girl he loved mad at him, then he smiled back her, "So Kagome?", she looked at him, "What do you call this.....spirit box?" he asked pointing to the TV.
She smiled sweetly and went on to tell him what it was and it's purpose. They sat there on the couch for a while as Kouga flicked the channels all over the place with the remote, he was truly fascinated with the object.
The door suddenly slid open, "Inuyash--!", Souta froze when he saw Kouga rather than his hero and almost looked disappointed until he spotted Kouga's tail flip out from behind him.
"Whoa Cool!", he ran over and plopped on the couch next to Kouga, "This guy has a tail! Do you know Inuyasha? What's your name?!"
"Hey let go of my tail!", Kouga cried at the child who was poking and prodding at him, 'this kid's worse than the woman!'
Kagome gave an annoyed sigh, "Souta, leave Kouga alone!", she smiled like nothing happened as soon as she got the boy's attention, "Where's grandpa?"
"He went downtown to look for sutra and stuff", Souta replied gawking mindlessly at Kouga's tail.
"I should have thought so, oh well not that I'm stuck with you I'd better get supper ready", then she looked to Kouga, "Do you mind keeping Souta busy?"
He looked at her in fear, "Wha-," then she gave him a pleading face, 'I can't say no to her!', "Sure", he let himself say reluctantly.
"Wicked! Do you like video games?!", Souta squealed.
Kouga looked around and saw that Kagome had retreated then his gaze fell upon the beaming face of Souta and sighed in defeat.
"Follow me! I'll show you my room and then we can play with my play station, I hope your better than Inuyasha!"
At the sound of Inuyasha's name, Kouga tensed, "Damn right I'm better than Dog-Breath, I can beat him at anything!"
"We'll see about that, I'm the best video gamer in the WORLD!"
Kagome was in the kitchen listening to the two boast about their skills, "Well at least there getting along...kinda"
After a stressful time trying to persuade Kouga that the stir fry was eatable, Kagome got stuck with cleaning the mess since Souta practically dragged Kouga back up to him room.
"Ah, now I can have some peace and quiet to study", she said to herself while grabbing her book bag and taking out her math book. She walked into the living room and plopped on the couch.
About 30 minutes later, she heard footsteps running down the stairs and into the kitchen. Being the curious girl she was Kagome went to investigate.
"Souta?", she asked the small boy who was getting a glass of milk.
"Oh, hi sis! I'm just getting a drink!", he replied hastily.
"Yeah I can see that...but how come your not wearing any pants?"
"Cause Kouga's not wearing any, and if he doesn't have to wear any than I don't either!"
"Oh?", Kagome had forgotten all about Kouga's lack of pants, "And how's the gaming going?"
"Whoa! You should see Kouga play, after I showed him the controls, he totally kicked my butt! He's awesome, and he told me all about his wolf pack and all the demons he killed, and, and....He's the BEST!"
Kagome sweat dropped, "That's...nice, but I thought you said Inuyasha was the best?"
"Inuyasha's still cool but Kouga's awesome! Plus did you know Inuyasha's real name was Dog-shit!? No wonder he's so grouchy all the time!"
"Souta! Don't ever say that word!"
"But Kouga and Inuyasha say it all the time!?"
If Kouga and Inuyasha jumped off a cliff, would you?!", Kagome jeered.
"Well there like the coolest people I've ever met...so...YEAH!"
Kagome's face dropped to a goofy frown, "ugh! Souta put your pajama pants back on, brush your teeth and go to bed!", she demanded before climbing up the stairs to find Kouga.
"Kouga!", she shouted out.
"Yes my love?!", she heard him yell back before he instantly appeared before her with a big smile.
She sweat dropped at hearing 'my love' but quickly shrugged it off and got back to the point, "Your not suppose to say word like 'shit' in front of Souta! He's only 10!"
Kouga put his head down and held her hands, "I'm sorry, I don't realize what I say half the time...are you mad at me?"
"Slightly, but I can forgive you if you can find a better name for Inuyasha than...Dog-shit", she stated simply taking her hand away from him and folding her arms.
"No Problem! Anything for you!", Kouga smiled.
"NIGHT SIS! NIGHT KOUGA!", Souta yelled to them before slamming his bedroom door.
Kagome gave a relieved sigh, 'well at least I don't have to worry about him for the rest of the night"
"Um, Kagome?", Kouga spoke up, causing her to look back up to him awaiting the rest of his question, "before your mother left, she said something about us keeping it down while Souta was asleep because he wasn't used to hearing it...exactly what are we going to be doing?"
Kagome's face went pale, she knew exactly what her mother was talking about, 'I totally forgot that Kouga's suppose to be my boyfriend...I can't believe my mother said that to him, oh God...how am I going to tell him this?'
Kouga watched the emotions of embarrassment, confusion and worry play across the face of the girl in front of him.
"Kagome?"
She suddenly snapped out of her daze when she heard her name, "Um...there's something we need to talk about Kouga", se took a deep breath, "I have to go downstairs and get my books first, you can wait in my room...then we'll talk"
Kouga was now very perplexed but he left to go to her room like she told him, thinking that something had to be wrong, while Kagome trotted down the stairs; thinking of how she was going to explain the situation without making Kouga too excited.
Kouga had been waiting patiently in Kagome's room, 'I wonder what she needs to talk about? Maybe she'll finally confess her love for me!', his face beamed, 'no, that can't be it, she looked too worried to give me such good news', his face fell again.
Kagome walked into her room and over to her desk where she laid down her books and sat on the chair across from Kouga, who was starring at her quite attentively.
Kouga took a deep breath and inhaled her intoxicating scent, 'hmm, she's nervous? Maybe she IS going to confess her feelings for me after all!'
Kagome felt Kouga hold her hands which actually made her even more nervous to tell him the 'news', 'being as stubborn as he is, he'll probably think it's going to be real', she took a deep breath before she started, "Okay, remember earlier, when my mother thought you were my boyfriend?"
"Uh huh", Kouga replied eagerly, 'what's she getting at?'
"Well...", 'okay Kagome, let it out fast so he can't pick it out!', "nowyoureallyhavetopretendtobemyboyfriendbecauseifItoldmymotheryouweren'titwouldbreakherheart *deep breath* SonowyouhavetobemyboyfrienduntilwegetbacktotheFeudalEra!"
Kouga just sat there in front of her starring deep into her eyes and blinked a few times until the information processed through his head. Then he smiled to himself, 'that's good enough!...for now'
He let go of her hands and slid back on the bed until he was leaning against the wall, then he put his hands behind his head, "Of course Kagome, I have no problem PRETENDING to be your boyfriend"
"Just so you know, it's NOT real!", she corrected thinking maybe he took it wrong.
"I didn't say it was, but I am at your service to be whatever you want me to be", he said smirking but looking innocent.
'Well that was easy enough', Kagome thought.
"So if I'm your boyfriend, what does that make you?", he asked, even though it was simple enough that he knew the answer, he just wanted Kagome to say it.
"Your girlfriend", Kagome said reluctantly, wishing she could have thought of something better...well safer for him to be.
Kouga smirked, 'so I have Kagome as my mate for a week, and since we have to make this convincing.....', Kouga's thoughts traveled off thinking about all the things he could do to take advantage of the situation.
"So Kagome, do we get the same privileges of one another during our...charade?"
Kagome went bugeyed as she raised his eyebrows seductively, "No!"
"But how else are we going to make it believable?", he said in a desirable tone.
"Kouga your worse than Miroku!", she said as a rosy pink graced her cheeks.
Kouga laughed at her, "Calm down love, you know I would never do anything like that....unless you wanted me to of course?", then he gave her a sweet, charming smile.
'I wish he wouldn't smile at me or speak to me like that, it makes him look so...hot? Well at least he's a yummy 'boyfriend'!', she couldn't help but smile back at him, "sorry Kouga, I know you would never do that, no one's worse than Miroku"
"Kagome! I'm Home!", Kagome's mother yelled up the stairs.
Before Kagome could leave the room to go greet the woman, he bedroom door flung open, "Hi honey! How was bab-," she starred at the two 'lovers' for a moment, "oopsies, I didn't mean to interrupt you two!"
Kagome sweat dropped, "No mama...we were just talking!", Kouga's expression held a smile, but when Kagome gave him a quick glare his expression went stern.
"Oh...okay, I just wanted to tell you I was home, I hope Souta wasn't any trouble?", she looked at Kouga while asking this, but he wasn't looking at her, his eyes never left Kagome.
She smiled, "Kouga dear?", Kouga's eyes wandered over to the older woman, "Kagome tends to be a blanket hog, so brace yourself!", then she left with a soft giggle.
Kouga's head turned slowly to Kagome with a huge smile, he knew what the woman meant by what she had said earlier now and then he added in a seductive tone, "And we have to try and keep the noise down, I hope you can control yourself love"
