I woke up feeling drowsy. I was awake yet I didn't want to open my eyes, the bed was too comfortable to part with and the silky sheets wrapped themselves around me coolly. Yawning, I sat up on the bed rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands and suddenly realized that I wasn't home, this wasn't my bedroom. As I removed the sheet off of me I slipped off of the bed and walked around the room. I glanced around and saw that the room was filled with fascinating antiques that were placed on the wall in patterns, pictures as well.

When I did my own touring of the room I stopped in front of a full length mirror and noticed that I was wearing a lavender colored nightgown with nothing underneath but some matching panties. I began to panic seeing as I wasn't sure where I was other than I shouldn't complain since I was given a good service, oh so I believed. But as I thought about it, I had no idea of how I arrived here or, better yet, what exactly happened last night. I had no memory. Was I drunk? I doubt that since I don't drink and I wasn't with anybody last night.

The last thing I remember is me riding to Kouga's suppose huge house and stopping nearby to spy on him and the rest is just a blur.

I strolled around the room and the enormous collage of picture frames caught my attention. I placed my hands on each picture taking in the people in them. They seemed happy. There was one image in particular that was interesting, there was a young boy smiling a toothless grin standing in between his parents, he was very cute as well as strong for his age. Next to it was a full body picture of a very handsome man. He looked so much like Kouga but I could easily tell that it wasn't. The rest of the images were by two's or threes or group pictures but there was a lot of family ones as additionally to solos.

Then it hit me, Kouga!? Was I in Kouga's home? If I was then how did I get in here. I don't think that I slept with him because it was just impossible, unless this wasn't his house but somebody's else's. But the pictures and the--

Just then a young girl startled me as she barged into the room. She held my clothes on her hands neatly folded. She seemed quite shy as she approached me. I thanked her when she handed me my garments and she simple smiled timidly, but her smile was more like a frighten one that a friendly one, and she walked quickly out the door but I stopped her before she ran off.

"Excuse me, but where am I?"

She waved goodbye and left shutting the door behind her.

"Well, that was rude."

I changed into my freshly washed clothes and wondered if I should step out and take a look around the house myself but then I heard footsteps running, laughter, and a lot of talking which meant there was a bunch of people just outside my door. I was too bashful to walk out now but this was a house and those people probably lived here so that meant that they won't leave just for my sake.

Maybe I could climb out of a window unseen but then how would I climb the gate. I was never a high-quality climber in gym class and nothing has changed since then.

I was leaning against the window with my head hung low thinking that maybe I was a prisoner here or maybe I slept ten years into my life and I now lived here or possibly I just broke into the house and decided to sleep here.

"You feeling any better?"

My head instantly shot up at the sound of his voice and I didn't want to turn thinking that this was just my mind playing tricks on me and that he wasn't really there. Then I felt his touch on my shoulder and I threw myself in his arms and wept. His arms wrapped themselves tightly around me and I just buried my head in his chest captivating his scent, his warmth and touch.

"Kouga, I've missed you."

I felt him nod and led me to the bed where we both sat side by side. I inhaled slowly and tried stopping myself from crying but it was just that the small amount that we were away from each other seemed like eternity to me.

"Kouga, I--"

He pressed a finger to my lips and hushed me while he spoke. I saw that he was trying to figure out what to say to me and I felt it wasn't going to be something I wanted to hear.

"Kagome, I've said this before, we're threw. I can't see you anymore, this is best thing for the both of us. I'll call Rayne to show you your way out."

He rose from the bed and made his way to the door. Just like in the restaurant, I froze. I didn't comprehend why he didn't want to be with me, but something told me he was lying to me as well to himself. I knew that he wanted to be with me as much as I wanted to be with him, his embrace told it all but I didn't understand what was keeping us from each other. And who was this Rayne person?

"Kouga, no! Why are you doing this? If you love me then why don't you want to be with me?"

I lost him once and I wasn't on willing loosing him again, not without a reason. I couldn't bare another day without him, it just haunts me to know he can't be mine no more.

"Because..."

"Because? Just because you don't feel like it? Or just because you got bored with me? Or because you were using me for some unwanted reason?!"

I went hysterical but he simply ignored me and when he did I grabbed a hold of him and pulled him away from the door. He didn't act surprise by my actions, it was like he was expecting it from me.

I didn't let go of my grip on him and he tired to pull away.

"Kouga, there has to be a reason why you don't want to be with me and I believe I have a right to know why!!"

He pulled away causing me to hold onto him even harder. He didn't answer none of my questions and my mind was racing. Actions really do speak better that words. And his actions plainly said 'Fuck off'.

"You don't care about me anymore, do you?"

And again he didn't response. I wasn't sure what would make him utter a word to me, his silence was killing me harshly.

"Then why am I here? You took care of me…."

I tried to recall the cause of why I was here but I didn't know hence I tried to think of what happened last night but nothing came to mind, it was blank.

Nothing.

"Kouga, what happened last night? Why am I here?"

That's when I received his attention. He narrowed his eyes down to me and his lips moved but no words were spoken.

Then he whispered to me confused, "You don't remember?"

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. What was that suppose to mean? I let go of him and turned around trying to figure out what did happen. I paced back and forth eager to know what occurred.

"I don't know. I can't seem remember.."

I turned to face him and saw that his shoulder was bleeding from where I had clutched him from, my force was essentially stronger than I thought that I cause him to bleed and he thought nothing of it as if it was merely a scratch or a minute bruise.

I gasped when I remembered that night on my bedroom where Naraku had sink his claws into the stranger's shoulder.

It was Kouga. Kouga was that stranger that had turned into a wolf beside Naraku.

One disbelief was answered still there were plenty more to come.

"You were the one who saved me from Naraku, weren't you? How did you know he was there with me?"

More questions arrived from both of us and we both neglected to answer each others doubt. As I paid close attention to our argument my questions were answered by other questions. There was truth in those questions but I was to dim-witted to notice it at the time, I was too upset that all I could do is shout thinking it would help.

"Don't change the subject on me, Kagome. Do you or don't you remember what happened last night?"

"I told you no!! I have no clue. Now you answer me this, who's Naraku?"

He then tried to leave once again but I stopped him.

"You were there, weren't you? Kouga, there's more to it that Naraku, isn't there? There's something you don't want to tell me. And please don't think that you being a..um..,you know, wolf matters at the moment. Too many bizarre things have been going on lately so up until now I'll believe anything."

He gave me that same amusing, angry look and pushed me away from the door and left.

"You know nothing Kagome. But let me tell you this, I have no feelings for you. I could care less what happens to you. You're only here because of what happened last night but I'll let you figure that out on your own."

That wasn't my Kouga. He was different. He seemed confused. Worried. First he was all caring and then he suddenly turned bitter on me.

I couldn't take it so instead of waiting on that Rayne person to lead me out of the house I jumped out the window. I hoped that that fall would have killed me but I landed on my feet with no hesitation. I was stronger than before for some unknown reason and the gate was just a piece of cake.

A/N: Hope I didn't confuse you all with the so many questions both Kagome and Kouga had, but don't worry they'll later be answered. And no Kouga is not the bad guy here and neither is Naraku, well he is a bad guy but there's someone else whose giving Naraku his orders.

For those who've been asking questions here are the answers:

Yes, there will be lemon but not until later.

Kouga is not cheating on Kagome and I don't plan on him doing so either.
