I'm torn between thinking that it was a good song or every ones lying so I'll update.... SIGH O-well, read on!

Chapter 4 Rage

Kagome woke so warm and content, she refused to open her eyes. She was comfy against the soft furs, as well as secure, warm and stable against... well she didn't know, but she felt like she was in heaven. So she ignored the poking, from some annoying, something rather.

"Go away" She cried angrily.

"Lady Kagome, I need to talk to you," A voice called.

"Is it worth your life?" Kagome asked.

"....no?"

"Then leave me alone" Kagome growled, pulling her source of heat closer.

"Lady Kagome, I under stand your, um, comfortable..."

"Understatement of the century" She cooed.

"Lady Kagome, I need you to let go of Master Kouga so I can talk to you" At this Kagome's eyes snapped open and a blush painted her cheeks. Kagome slowly detached herself, instantly missing the warmth, but dealt with it. She turned to see everyone staring at her. She smiled weakly and laughed nervously.

"What did you wanna talk about" Kagome said quickly. Shippo shook his head but both wolf demons smiled.

"Kagome can we talk to you, um, outside?" Hakkaku said glancing at Kouga.

"Sure" She said getting up and walking out into the morning sunshine, taking in a deep breath. "What's up guys?" Kagome asked, turning around to meet the two wolf demons. Both Ginta and Hakkaku looked upwards when the left the cave. Kagome slapped her forehead. "What's going on?"

"Oh, we just figured you were going to go back to Inu-yasha today so we wanted to tell you something" Ginta said siting down and watching as everyone else did the same. "We just wanted to tell you what happened before we got here"

"Before?" Kagome asked.

"Yah, before you came to help us battle" Hakkaku added.

"What happened?"

"Well we were coming by to see you... Master Kouga will tell you why later. Then the squid demon attacked us out of no where. Master Kouga was quick to take this challenge, but the squid said something we thought you should know." Hakkaku said taking a breath, "He said that Inu-yasha gave him the jewel shards and told him that he could get more from Master Kouga" Hakkaku nodded looking gravely at Kagome, "He told us that Inu-yasha would give him, his the jewel shards if the squid killed Master Kouga." Hakkaku stopped to gauge Kagome's reaction, which was of utter horror. Hakkaku quickly continued, "I wouldn't say something like this to gain your favor, for Master Kouga. But that is what he said." Kagome gasped as she remembered what Inu-yasha said to her as soon as she returned to the hut, from the Hot Springs.

##$$##$ Flash back $##$$##

"Kagome, let me have your shards you'll be safer that way" Inu-yasha said.

"I can take care of them," Kagome said protectively.

"I know you can, but demons are drawn to the shards. I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt!"

"Oh, o.k." Kagome sighed passing over her four shards.

"Thank you" Inu-yasha said

"Your welcome" Kagome said walking into the hut.

##$$##$ Flash back done $##$$##

That night Inu-yasha went out he said he was going to sleep in the God tree. And Kagome believed him. There was going to be hell to pay for this. Red sparks of miko energy started flaking of Kagome, while she was thinking. Ginta and Hakkaku backed away from the enraged miko, in fear of being purified. Kagome stood and stomped into the cave. She quickly changed in to her red and white miko outfit and grabbed her bow-and-arrows, then turned to Kouga. Inu-yasha was going to pay for doing this to him. She looked at her bag there was some rope hanging a stew. Kagome grabbed it up and put it on her back with her bow-and-arrow.

"You three stay here, if Kouga asks were I've gone tell him, I've gone to give that baka a piece of my mind." Kagome ordered then ran off with incredible speed toward Lady Kaede's village. Shippo burst out laughing gaining the attention of all that were conscious.

"Mom-ma's gonna beat Inu-yasha down! I wish I could see this!" Shippo laughed even harder bringing tears to his eyes.

"How do you know?" Hakkaku asked

"Mommy's been only this mad once and that was when Inu-yasha was angry with her for letting you guys go! Remember when we were battling the-" Shippo said, only to be interrupted by a moan that indicated that Kouga was waking up. Kouga slowly got you rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"What's going on?" He asked rubbing his head.

"Master Kouga, are you feeling better?" Ginta asked.

"Much, were is Kagome?"

"Um.." Hakkaku said hesitantly.

"Well.." Ginta replied in the same manner.

"She went to beat the crap out of Inu-no-baka" Shippo said still giggling. "Those two," Shippo said pointing to Ginta and Hokkoku, "told mommy what the squid demon said about Inu-no-baka and boy was she mad." Kouga looked at them in bewilderment. "So..., Kouga how did you sleep last night?" Shippo asked grinning ear to ear, while Hakkaku and Ginta fell over anime style.

"O.k., I guess" Kouga said stretching.

"Did you have a dream?" Shippo asked still smiling.

"Yah.."

"What about"

"..., why do you care?"

"Because you were whining in your sleep. You mentioned your mum"

"Yah, I had a dream about her. I was trying to save her. But then there was a voice that was singing. I don't know who it was, but it made everything all right. Then after that I don't remember...." Why he felt the urge to tell the kit was beyond him but when he finished the child still had that scary smile on.

"You don't know who the voice was" Shippo said his smile widening still.

"Nope, seemed familiar though" Shippo jumped on his head.

"I know who it was"

"Who?"

"Mommy" Shippo said simply.

"Kagome?" Kouga asked.

"Yep, you were rollin' around in your sleep and it woke me up. So I got mommy up and she sang a song, then everything was better. She gave you a kiss on the forehead. And you pulled her next to you and didn't let go. So, she just fell asleep were you kept her." As Shippo finished his story Kouga was blushing madly.

"Your lying" Kouga growled, glaring at Shippo.

"Nope, and this morning Hakkaku tried to wake her up, but she refused to let go of you. I don't think she knew it was you she was clinging on to, but she threatened Hakkaku with death, if he didn't leave her alone." Shippo said evilly. "Hakkaku told her to whom she was hugging and then she let go, but I could tell she didn't want to." Ginta and Hakkaku were trying to keep a straight face, but were failing miserably. What the young fox said was true, but the way he said it, it sounded as if Lady Kagome had the hot's, as Shippo so kindly stated it. They couldn't help it any more they gave in and laughter washed over them. Kouga glared at them, but it did nothing. The wolf prince let out a sigh and inspected his legs carefully. He was pretty sure he was healed but wasn't sure of how to take the bandages off. Shippo saw that he need help and did just that. Shippo crawled to Kouga's legs and with there combined effort, they got them off. Kouga stood, his legs were as good as new. He pulled off the bandage off his chest with minimal effort, then pulled his armor back on.

"All done" Shippo squeaked. "Don't strain yourself, mommy would not be happy if you did." Kouga smirked and picked up the young pup by his tail and placed him on his shoulder. Kouga then nudged Ginta with his foot immediately putting a stop to their laughter. (A.N. I should stop there, but seeing as I'm going to be gone a long time....)

"Let's go see how Kagome doing" Kouga said, walking around the other two wolfs. He took off running going a lot slower than usually. "The squid must of stolen my shards from my legs" Kouga growled. They however were still faster then any demon could ever hope to be. He followed Kagome's sent to beside a river, he flowed it up stream to find a very humors sight. There were many deep holes in the shape of our favorite half-breed. Then in the middle of all the holes was Inu-yasha, tied upside-down by his feet, hanging from a tree branch, unconscious. And there, lying by the river, looking very pleased with herself, was Kagome. Shippo exploded with laughter at the sight and started rolling around on the ground. Kouga just shook his head and walked over to Kagome.

"Feeling better?" Kouga asked smiling.

"Much, you?" Kouga looked over at Inu-yasha dangling from the tree.

"That helped a lot," Kouga said turning back to Kagome.

"Good, then It helped us both out" Kagome sniggered and Kouga nodded. "Here you go," she said handing Kouga two shards. Kouga looked at her confusedly. "Inu-yasha had them" Kouga nodded yet again. "Hey, I have a question" Kagome stated.

"What?"

"Why didn't you tell me you didn't know how to swim?"

"It's not important," Kouga said looking away.

"Yes it is!" Kagome gasped, "Inu-yasha used it as an advantage over you. That makes it very important!"

"I'm not exactly proud of the fact," Kouga said not looking at her.

"Kouga I have a secret I want to tell you" Kouga looked over at her quickly. "I come from the future, about five hundred years in to the future. You know that well by Kaede's village?" Kagome said, Kouga nodded, "that well is how I get back and forward in time. Please don't tell anybody." Kagome turned back to Kouga with hopeful eyes, "Please?"

"Sure" Kouga sensed no lies from what Kagome said. It was insane and why tell him now? Then they heard Ginta and Hakkaku's laughter join in with Shippo's, and they turned around.

"Master Kouga, what will we do now?" Hakkaku asked, as the laughter died down.

"'Master Kouga' is coming with me to my time so that I can teach him to swim" Kagome cut in before anyone else could say anything. "You guy's can come to if you want"

"Your time?" Hakkaku asked.

"Yes, my time" Kagome said then explained the whole time warp thing again (If you were hoping to see it again, tuff luck).

"I'm coming too, right mommy?"

"Yep!"

"Who decited this?" Ginta asked

"I did. You can come our not, but Kouga doesn't have a choice" Kagome said strightly.

"I don't have a choice?" Kouga asked incredulously

"NO, you don't!"

"You couldn't catch this demon, luv"

"I don't care if you're a demon or the Easter Bunny! Your coming if you like it or not!"

"Easter Bunny?"

"Yes, the Easter Bunny!"

"Well then seeing as I have no choice." Kouga sighed. "I want you two to learn to swim also." He said pointing to the other two wolves. "So you don't have a choice either. However I want one or both of you two to inform the pack that we are going to be gone awhile. Don't tell them where or why just tell them that we are leaving and put someone in-charge for the while were gone" Kouga said calmly standing. "Kagome I believe that you may want to tell your company that you are leaving as well?"

"Yes"

"O.k." Kouga said picking Kagome up. "You know what to do" He nodded to Ginta, then Hakkaku, dismissing them. "Hold on to your kit, I have my shards back." Kagome held on to Shippo tightly, and he took off.

Long chapter! See I'm not that evil! Right? Well, TTFN!
