Guarzione di Argenta
Chapter Three: Comforting Friends, Turn Mates.
By: Sweet Raptured Light
Velluta had been with the group for about three weeks, their search for the shards was moving well; they had around 15 shards left, including Kouga's, Kohaku's and the ones from other demons. Miroku heeded the warning for his fate, and 'resisted temptation' as he put it.
As the group ate Ramen for dinner, Kagome noticed Inuyasha acting weirder than normal.
"Inuyasha? What's wrong?" Kagome asked as she sat down next to him.
Inuyasha looked at her and took in her form. She was truly beautiful in his eyes. Since school was over for her, she didn't wear her uniform, just regular clothes. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with two strands down that framed her face wonderfully. She was wearing a white wife-beater and denim jeans.
"Nothing," he grunted and turned away.
"Oh, okay," Kagome said as she stood to leave him.
"Kagome, wait," he said softly, and she turned around, a little surprised by his soft tone of voice. Inuyasha looked right into her eyes and took her hands in his, "I have something to tell you."
'It's now or never,' the inner voice told him.
"What is it Inuyasha?"
He took a deep breath and a familiar scent came to his nose. The scent of death, dirt and bones. 'Perfect, I'll tell Kagome I love her, then kill Kikyo and that will prove it to her,' he thought to himself.
"Kagome...I...I love you!" he proclaimed.
Kagome was taken aback. This was the day she was waiting for, but why wasn't she happy about it.
"Inuyasha I-" but she was cut off as he kissed her. His kiss was rough and Kagome wasn't really expecting her first kiss to be like that. When he pulled away, he smiled at her and all she could do was smile back.
"Wait here, then follow in ten minutes," he told her, then raced off to fin Kikyo.
He found her standing in a clearing, and she was surrounded by her soul-stealers, waiting for something. Was she possibly waiting for him? No, not unless she WANTED to die, but the only thing she wanted dead were him and Kagome.
"Inuyasha. Just like a good puppy, always coming back to your master, and I didn't even have to send my soul-stealers after you," she sneered at him.
"That's what you think. I'm going to kill you, proving to Kagome that I love her and not you," he growled as he unsheathed Tetsusaiga.
"Hah! You're not so blind after all. At least you know she is alive and could give you more than a corpse could, but you're still as stupid as ever," she laughed.
"Grrr. What are you talking about?" he yelled at her.
"You only love her because she looks like me! She's my reincarnation! She's just a copy!" she spat at him.
"No! Never!" he shouted.
'Are you sure?' his inner voice asked.
"What?' he asked it, but it disappeared before he got an answer.
"Kikyo, I'm gonna kill you now, to prove to Kagome I love her!" he yelled, and he would have attacked her had he been able to move.
"You only wish," she said to him as she walked closer to him. She had her soul-stealers take his Tetsusaiga from his hands as she moved closer and ran her fingers along his scalp, weaving through his hair.
"You are mine Inuyasha! And when my little copy gets here, she will see that too," she laughed evilly at him.
"Get away from me! Grrr. Why can't I move?" he shouted as he tried to push her away. She leaned in to kiss him and to his surprise he didn't fight her. Her lips were cold but he didn't mind.
"Inuyasha. You love me and only me. So where does that leave my little copy?" she asked him as she ran her finger down his chin.
"She's nothing but a shard detector. I love you Kikyo," he said as his mouth mauled her.
Kagome had waited about five minutes, and was starting to follow when Velluta walked up to her with her guitar.
"Hey Kagome," she said, which made Kagome jump.
"Ahh! Don't do that!"
"Sorry. But I have to tell you something," she laughed.
"Can it wait, I have to go follow Inuyasha," Kagome asked, as she turned to walk into the woods.
"Kagome! You are not a dog-person, but a wolf-person. Release the wolf within and ye shall truly be free!" Velluta said as she grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her back.
"What?" a very confused Kagome asked her.
"Um, would you hate me if I said I don't know?" Velluta laughed.
"One of those fate things then," Kagome asked and shrugged along with Velluta, "Okay, well I have to go, I'll be right back." Kagome walked into the woods, following Inuyasha's direction, and unbeknownst to her, she was being followed.
Kagome got to the edge of the clearing and was horrified as she saw Inuyasha kissing Kikyo.
"Inuyasha, you love me and only me. So where does that leave my little copy?" she heard Kikyo ask which made her and her follower's anger rise.
"She's nothing but a shard detector. I love you Kikyo," they heard him say as he started to kiss her in a heat of passion. Kagome could feel her heartbreak within her chest as the tears started to sting her eyes.
"Oh Kagome. I'm sorry. I-" Velluta started to say but was cut off when Kagome faced her with a tear stained face.
As Kagome and Velluta disappeared into the forest, Miroku took this as his chance to make his move on Sango, but before he could, a gust of wind blew through the camp. There was a swirling tornado coming towards them and when it cleared, out stepped Kouga.
"Where's Kagome?" he asked as he scanned the camp, with no sign of her.
"She went into the woods with Velluta, they should be back soon," Shippou said to the wolf demon.
"Velluta? Who is that?" Kouga asked the kit.
"Our friend," he answered, it was strange, usually the kit was always afraid of him, but now he was willing to have a conversation with Kouga, and this didn't go unnoticed.
"When will they be back?" Kouga asked.
"They just left, so not too soon," Miroku said.
"Then I will wait," Kouga said as he sat down next to Miroku. As he sat down, he took a deep breath, which made him stand right up again.
'That scent. Kagome's beautiful scent of Sakura blossoms. It's marred with tears, sadness, anger, fear, and...love. I have to find her to figure out what's wrong!' he thought as he sped off in her direction.
"What's his problem?" Sango asked.
"Maybe he smelled Kagome's scent?" Miroku suggested as he watched the dust trail settle.
"Inuyasha you fool!!" Velluta shouted as she jumped and kicked him away from Kikyo, effectively knocking him unconscious and smacking into a tree.
"Who are you and what five you the right to intrude," Kikyo said as she drew her arrow out.
"I'm Kagome's best friend, and you are nothing but a whore!"
"Why! How DARE you!" Kikyo shouted as she pulled her arrow back even further.
"You shouldn't play with sharp objects, you might hurt yourself," Velluta said sarcastically as blue light came out of her fingers and took away her bow and arrows.
"I can still kill you!" Kikyo shouted as she sent her soul-stealers after Velluta but they wouldn't move, they were entrapped in a blue light.
"Andare L'Inferno!" Velluta shouted at her as she held her guitar straight up and ran her fingers along the strings and a red light shot out of the top and stabbed Kikyo's heart, as the guitar started singing and playing by itself.
Perfect by nature. Icons of self-indulgence. Just what we all need. More lies about a world that...
Kikyo was shocked at what the girl did. She was being engulfed by the red light and she was sinking into the ground. When halfway up her calves were underground, flames were licking at her feet.
...Never was and never will be. Have you no shame, don't you see me? You know you've got everybody fooled.
"What have you done to me?" Kikyo cried out as she sunk deeper to her waist.
"You're going where you belong!"
Look here she comes now. Bow down and stare in wonder. Oh, how we love you. No flaws when you're pretending. But now I know she...
"I belong here! My reincarnation should be dead so I can have my soul back!"
"From what KAGOME tells me, you're supposed to be dead, and so you belong in hell!" Velluta shouted at her.
...Never was and never will be. You don't know how you've betrayed me, and somehow you've got everybody fooled.
By now Kikyo had sunk down to halfway past her stomach and Inuyasha finally woke up.
"Kik...Kikyo? Kikyo! No!" he shouted as he tried to run to her.
"Inuyasha help me!" Kikyo shouted as she extended her arm to him.
Without the mask, where will you hide? Can't find yourself, lost in your lie.
"No, Inuyasha! Stay back! We need you here!" Velluta shouted as she pinned him to a tree with her blue light. The stolen souls Kikyo had inside her body flew out of her and to the Heaven's above as her soul-stealers turned to dust and blew away.
I know the truth now. I know who you are. And I don't love you anymore.
"Have fun in hell Kikyo," Velluta said as Kikyo sunk down to her neck.
It never was and never will be. You're not real and you can't save me. Somehow now you're everybody's fool.
"Ahh!" Kikyo screamed out in bloody murder as she disappeared into the ground. The rest of Kagome's soul flew out of the ground and raced through the woods back to her.
"What did you do, you stupid wench!" Inuyasha shouted as he was let down from the tree.
"What did I do? What did YOU do you stupid puppy! First you take Kagome's first kiss and tell her you love her, then you go meet Kikyo and you tell her you love her! What are you thinking? Are you even thinking with you brain and not with your pants?!" Velluta shouted at him, "You have some thinking to do, so here's a song for you to listen to. I hope it makes you feel worse that you already do," she sneered and ran her fingers over the strings of her guitar. Music started to play around Inuyasha as Velluta walked back to the camp with her guitar in her hands.
It seems like the other day, my baby went away. She went away, 'cross the sea. It's been two years or so. Since I saw my baby go. And then this letter came for me. It said that we was through. She found somebody new. Oh lemme think, lemme think. What shall I do?
'Did I really do that?' Inuyasha asked himself.
'Yes, you did,' the voice told him.
'Go away, I have no time for you. I have to kind Kagome!' he told it.
'You baka! She won't want you now. You betrayed her trust.'
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Remember, walking in the sand. Remember, walking hand in hand. Remember, the night was so exciting. Remember, her smile was so inviting. Remember, then she touched my cheek. Remember, with her fingertips. Remember, softly. Softly we met with a kiss.
'That's right. She won't love me now.'
"But how did Kikyo get me to say that I loved her?" he asked himself.
'When she ran her fingers through your hair, she manipulated your mind,' his inner voice told him.
'Then I'll just tell Kagome she used me to hurt her!'
'She won't believe it,' the voice quipped.
'That's right. Oh man, what am I going to do?'
Whatever happened to...the girl that I once knew. The girl that said, she'd been true. Oh whatever happened to...that night I gave it to you? What will I do with it now? Oh...
'She probably hates me. I don't want her to hate me,' he thought as his ears drooped down and pressed against his skull.
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no. Remember, walking in the sand. Remember, walking hand in hand. Remember, the night was so exciting. Remember, her smile was so inviting. Remember, then she touched my cheek. Remember, with her fingertips. Remember, softly. Softly we met with a kiss.
'Apologize you baka!' the voice told him.
'But she won't love me anymore,' he whined to it.
'So what. Tell her what happened, and what you were going to do, and apologize! At least she'll forgive you.'
'Yeah. Being friends with her is way better than having her hate me.'
Whatever happened to...the girl that I once knew. The girl that said, she'd been true. Oh whatever happened to...that night I gave it to you? What will I do with it now?
Inuyasha left the clearing and walked back to camp. He decided that apologizing his heart out would be the best thing to do.
Back at the camp, Velluta had set up another separate fire, and told Miroku and Sango to sit across from each other in front of it as Shippou played with Kirara, Imhotep and Anuksunamun.
"Now, when the words appear, you say what it says. Miroku, your words will be in blue. Sango, yours will be in red. Okay, you ready?" Velluta explained to them.
"Yes, I'm ready, and what about you Sango-chan?" Miroku asked.
"I'm ready," she said and both looked at Velluta.
"Now we will begin," she smiled as she took a handful of dirt and sprinkled it over the fire, and in response the flame turned blue, as some words appeared above it.
"On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?" Miroku asked as the words were blue, then they faded away.
"Will he offer me his mouth?" Sango asked in response as her red words showed up.
"Yes," Miroku responded as his words replaced hers.
"Will he offer me his teeth?" Sango asked then her words faded away.
"Yes."
"Will he offer me his jaws?"
"Yes."
"Will he offer me his hunger?"
"Yes."
"Again, will he offer me his hunger?"
"Yes!"
"And will he starve without me?"
"Yes!"
"And does his love me?" Sango asked which made her blush and Miroku saw this.
"Yes," He said as his words appeared and he blushed too.
"Yes," Sango said, then her words faded.
"On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?" Miroku asked.
"Yes," Sango answered.
"I bet you say that to all the boys," Miroku said as he did, his words faded and the blue flame shot up to the sky, and then disappeared.
"Very good!" Velluta clapped her hands.
"What was this for?" Sango asked.
"It was for...Kagome-chan," Velluta smiled.
"Why? What happened?" Miroku asked.
"Inuyasha told her he loved her, and kissed her. Then we followed him into the forest to see him messing around with Kikyo!" Velluta explained, "And here he comes now. Don't be too harsh on him, I sent Kikyo to hell and I made him think, so he probably feel bad," she said, as she glared at him.
"Where's Kagome? I need to speak with her," Inuyasha asked.
"She ran off right before I sent Kikyo to hell," Velluta said.
"Oh, okay. I'll wait for her to come back then," he said as he sat down, and his ears pressed against his skull as guilt washed over him.
She had run for a pretty good 20 minutes. She didn't care where she was going; she just had to get away.
"Shard detector, Kagome! You knew it was too good to be true!" she cried, as she came to a small hot spring and decided to relax. As she leaned back in the water, she felt the tears slow down as they still came. As soon as she relaxed enough, she heard some rustling in the bushes.
"Who's there? Go away!" she shouted.
"Kagome?" a voice called to her. It belonged to Kouga as he walked out of the bushed.
"Kouga? What are you doing here?" she asked as she covered her breasts under the water.
"I came to your camp, looking for you, then, I smelt your tears, and I had to find you. Kagome, what's wrong?" he asked as he walked over and knelt down next to her.
"Kouga, it's nothing, now please go away. I want to get dressed," she said, unenthusiastically.
"Kagome, was it that mutt-face? Did he get you upset?"
"No, no, I'm fine," Kagome said as she turned her head from him, hiding the unshed tears threatening to spill.
"Kagome, look at me," he said, cupping her cheek and turning her head towards him, "tell me, what's wrong."
"Oh, Kouga," she cried as the tears flowed free, "Inuyasha said he loved me, then he goes off with Kikyo and he says I'm just a shard detector," she cried, and she forgot all modesty as she cried on Kouga's shoulder. He pulled her out of the water and set her down in his lap and brought his tail to cover her lower region.
"Kagome, forget about him, he's not worth your tears. Please Kagome, come with me and be my mate," he told her as he cupped her cheek again and wiped away her tears with his thumb. In that instant they could have sworn they heard Sango and Miroku's voices.
On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Will he offer me his mouth?
Yes.
Will he offer me his teeth?
Yes.
Will he offer me his jaws?
Yes.
Will he offer me his hunger?
Yes.
Again, will he offer me his hunger?
Yes!
And will he starve without me?
Yes!
And does he love me?
Yes.
Yes.
On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Yes.
I bet you say that to all the boys.
"Kouga," Kagome whispered as he ran his thumb over her lips. Her tears had stopped, and she could have sworn her heart lifted and her stomach did flips. 'I used to feel this way when I loved Inuyasha. Do I love Kouga?' Kagome thought as Kouga's hand slid behind her neck and was drawing her closer.
"Kagome, I love you. Do you love me too?" Kouga asked as his lips brushed against hers, his warm breath caressing her lips.
"I...I love you Kouga," she whispered as she closed the space between them.

"Kagome bite me in the same place," he panted.
"What? Why?" she asked.
"Just do it," he said as he titled his neck for her access.
Kouga hissed in pain as she sank her fangs in his neck and moaned in delight as she too lapped his blood.
"My Kagome, you look beautiful. You're changing," he purred as he pulled out of her.
She crawled over to the water and looked at her reflection. She now had a yellow sun on her forehead and her eyes turned a lighter shade of blue. Her hair turned a dark blue color with sky blue streaks and her fangs still had a little blood on them from before. She looked down to see her nails grew longer and sharper and she grew a tail! She looked in the water again and saw that her mating mark looked like a sun, like her forehead. She looked to Kouga and she smiled at him. He brought her clothes over to her, as he was already dressed.
"You are now Lady of the Eastern Lands," he smiled as he kissed her forehead.
"I didn't know you were a Lord!" she exclaimed.
"Get dressed, I will explain on the way back to your camp," he said and she complied.
As they entered the campsite, everyone was surprised to see Kagome's new form. Inuyasha felt his jealousy spike but then remembered he had betrayed her, so she had every right to choose Kouga."Kagome, I need to talk to you," he said as he stood up. Kagome didn't answer but waited for him to continue.
"I was going to kill Kikyo to prove to you I loved you, but she manipulated my mind into thinking I loved her. I never meant to hurt you. Will you ever forgive me?" he ears flattened to his skull as he thought she wouldn't believe his story.
"It's okay Inuyasha. I still love you, but as a brother. I could never hate you," she smiled at him as she cupped his cheek. He smiled back and hugged her tight, which made Kouga growl possessively.
"It's okay Kouga," she cooed to him as she and Inuyasha broke their embrace, "Everyone, Kouga and I are mates now, so he will be traveling with us," she told her friends and they nodded in agreement.
'It worked!' Velluta mentally cheered for her spell.
"So does this mean Kouga is my new Otou-san?" Shippou asked his surrogate mother as he jumped in her arms.
"Hai. And now, I can adopt you the proper youkai way," she smiled at him.
A/N: Hello people. If you read the lemon on the other site, I want to apologize for rusing Kagome and Kouga into being mates. it's partly because:
1) My friend rushed me to write, so she could get in the story sooner. (that's not an acceptable excuse tho...Gomen)
2) It's also partly because the little spell/chant Miroku and Sango did, helped them along but Kagome became Kouga's mate because she really did love him, it was just the chant/spell helped her realize it.
Velluta's translations: bold-italian italics-translation
Andare L'Inferno
Go to Hell
Simple enough, lol.
I think that it's. Gomen for any spelling mistakes, and if you didn't like how rushed Kagome and Kouga were into their relationship...
Until next time...Ja Ne!
