Kagome slowly got up from the ground, her head spinning a little. "Are we...?"

All around her was beautiful greenery, foliage, tall green trees, and the hot spring she and Hiei had fallen in. "I think we're in the feudal era..." She said, somewhat confident but not completely sure.

"The feudal era?" Hiei asked in disbelieving tone. He looked around, trying to sense anything that would confirm their location. What he found suprised him. "Kagome! Duck!"

The young woman looked behind her to see a throwing star headed straight for her. Having no time to properly duck, she let her knees give out, falling to the side. Hiei took out his sword and sliced the throwing star in half. Putting himself between the source of the attack and Kagome, he called out, "You must be a very low level youkai to attack when no one is looking. Are you afraid?"

Hiei was irritable. His clothes still clung to him with an annoying dampness, he didn't know where he was, and then the stupid demon had almost killed Kagome. Waiting for the inferior apparition to show itself was grinding his patience. As he was about to kill it before it showed itself, he noticed three fairly week but acknowledgable energies coming quickly from the other side.

"How dare you insult my pack!" An obnoxious, loud voice called out. Hiei turned around, narrowing his eyes and ready to put the being in it's place, but in ran quckly past him and attacked the demon in the bushes. After a few seconds, lot of noise, and an extinguished life source, the owner of that voice came out again, wiping his clawed hands on his pelt.

"Kouga?" Kagome asked, almost afraid. Now, however, atleast she knew she was in the feudal era. She raised herself into a sitting position. "Who was that?"

Realizing that the human a few feet from him was his love, he swiftly walked over to her, got to his knees, and started,"Kagome! Oh, I have missed you! It's been a month since I last saw you! And you finally got rid of that dog turd! You chose me! I knew you would! We were meant to be!"

While Kagome tried to get away, and Kouga's two minions (yes, I will call his buddies minions, because I forgot the word I was looking for) stood there, smiling and agreeing with everything Kouga said, Hiei's heart dropped. He hadn't sensed however, that either of them were mated.

"Who said she was your "woman"? It doesn't appear that she belongs to you," Hiei said scathingly, letting his sarcastic temper take over.

Kagome smiled thankfully at him, which did not go unnoticed by Kouga. "Another suitor? I thought you had finally chosen me!" His ic blue eyes filled with tears. "It doesn't matter, Kagome, I would do anything for you! Even if I have to compete with all of your suitors!" He grasped her hands and put them on his chest. "I love you."

Her heart broke. "Kouga, I... love you as a friend... Nothing more."

"She loves me! She loves me! She loves me!" He danced around, his minions following him. Hiei finally got his chance to talk to Kagome.

"Who is that freak?" He said, pretending not to care. In fact, he was quite a bit jealous.

"That's just Kouga, he's a wolf prince. He thinks he owns me," She said, frowning. "It's okay though, he's really sweet, and whenever Inuyasha is around... Well, actually, that's pretty bad, but I've never been harmed by him or anything."

By this time, Hiei was getting sick of hearing about all the men in her life. He concluded she must be an indecisive froof. However, he could not bring himself to believe it. Somehow he knew that she was a pure, good person.

"You! Get away from my woman!" The order was directed at Hiei, and by now, he could not keep his temper any longer.

His eyes narrowed, and he grabbed the hilt of his sword. "Don't tell me what to do," He whispered, and whipped his head towards Kouga.

I'm sorry for the shortness of the chapter, and for the inconsistency of details, and for the bad grammar. I'm so sorry for the long wait, but I've been totally unmotivated. Thanks to all of you who have reviewed. If you want, give me ideas that I can out in. Maybe even a muse or something. I'm starting on another fic pretty quick, I think it'll be an HPIYYYH crossover, lol. I love those. Might be something else though. Anyway, please review if you want another chapter soon. Tell me what you like, but please don't point out mistakes - I see them, but I'm too lazy to correct them. It also makes me more uncomfortable writing. Anyway. If you are a Kag/Kur lover, stay tuned, I might be able to work that in (even though this is ending up as a hiei/kag story....)
