Chapter 4
Kouga was standing in the door way. Kagome shocked and befuddled let him in. Kouga walked in and looked around and then he saw his target. He walked over to Inu-yasha and did the one thing that came in mind. He punched Inu-yasha across the face.
Now Kouga didn't know about Kagome being The Slayer or what it meant to be one. So Kagome did the only thing she could do at the time. Kagome picked Kouga up and set him down, far away from her mate. "Kouga what the hell are you doing here?!" Kagome practically yelled. Kouga was taken a back from the familiar voice that went through his ears. "Ka......Kagome?" he asked not daring to believe it. "Yes it's me Kagome and what are you doing here?" Kouga could only stare at the beauty in front of him. He knew she was beautiful then but now she was even more beautiful then before.
"Well I fell down the well fighting a youkia and ended up here. Then I smelled mutt face over here and so I decided to get my revenge on him for letting Naraku throw you into a hell dimension" Kouga answered plainly like it was the most common answer ever.
But Kagome was not pleased.
"Great" Kagome said sarcastically. "Oh well I guess your staying here for a while cause I can't take you back to your time-"
"Wait!" Kouga interrupted "What do you mean time?" Kagome stood there and answered "Well where I live is five hundred years in the future and that's where you are" Kouga's eyes widened. "I know I know. Please just bear with me" Kagome pleaded.
But like always Inu-yasha stepped in "What's the point? He's already too stupid for words" Kagome glared at him and simply stated "Have you forgotten why we are here?" Inu-yasha took the hint and closed his mouth.
Kagome sighed and turned to Kouga. "Look I'm not here for you and Inu-yasha to fight I am here for a duty which I have had since the age of ten. I do not have time for argument. Does everybody understand?" Everybody's head nodded in unison.
"Good" Kagome then heaved another heavy sigh and walked back towards the kitchen.
"Anyways I want everybody to get ready. We are getting clothes for Shippo, Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru, Kouga and Inu-yasha. So I want one of us to take one or two of them to the mall. Oh and be careful Kouga because your nose may not be use this era" Kouga's pride right then and there just had to show up. "I'm gonna be alright but why aren't you saying that to mutt face over there?" "Because he is use to the smell of this era" Kagome replied hotly. Kouga was taken a back but quickly recovered.
Sesshomaru then stepped in and said "I, Sesshomaru, will go with whoever" Kouga stared at him then turned on his heel and looked at Kagome "What the hell is he doing here?" he asked jabbing his head in the direction Sesshomaru had just come out. "That's what I asked when she sent me to fetch him" Inu-yasha muttered under his breath. "He is here under special circumstances" Kagome replied through gritted teeth.
Inu-yasha looked at her then closed his mouth. It seemed like Kagome was having a very bad day. But Kouga not knowing what Kagome could do asked another question that ticked Kagome off "And what are those 'special circumstances'?" Kagome then took a necklace off that was a replica of Inu-yasha's. She then through it on Kouga and started to walk away. She then turned around and looked at Kouga who was trying to pry the necklace off but to no avail. She smirked and whispered "Down boy" and Kouga slammed to the ground. Kagome smirked and turned to Sesshomaru and said "Be thankful. Those beads where meant for you not for Kouga" She then turned on heel and left.
Inu-yasha on the other hand burst out in laughter. It was quite funny when your rival in love was smashed to the ground in a subduing spell. Kouga growled at Inu-yasha and stood up. "What the hell does this necklace do mutt-face?!" Inu-yasha suppressed his laughter and answered "Well it's a subduing spell put in prayer beads. Kagome says a command like sit or down and you crash to the ground" Inu-yasha's laughter came back and he burst out laughing once again. Kouga was very disgruntled and so was Sesshomaru.
"Alright" Xander said "I'll take Kouga" Xander looked at Anya "And I'll take Sango" Spike sighed and applied "I'll take the monk" "And I'll take Shippo and Emiko" Willow piped in. "And I'll take Sesshomaru" Tara said calmly. Sesshomaru stared at her. 'I think I'm taking a liking to her' he thought. "Which leaves me with Inu-yasha" Kagome said looking at Inu-yasha with a seductive glare. Inu-yasha smirked and got up. "Fine I guess we will all meet at the Magic Box?" Inu-yasha asked looking at everyone. They all nodded and left the house.
One by one they all got into separate cars. Kouga wasn't fond of the cars and started throwing a temper tantrum until Kagome said "Down boy!" and Kouga came face to face with concrete.
Sesshomaru just rolled his eyes and got into the car without any complaint.
Inu-yasha did the same only instead of rolling his eyes, her was busy trying to keep his laughter in.
Sango and Miroku weren't keen on the whole thing but did get in and found that the seats where comfortable.
Shippo and Emiko had no trouble once so ever about the whole ordeal with the cars. To be quite honest, they both where really excited about it.
Kagome smiled and waved the other good bye before they all headed in different directions.
Kagome sat back down and restarted the car and drove off towards a mall.
She had put some music on and started tapping her fingers to the beat. She smiled when one of the songs she really liked came on. She started to sing along.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because you presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of you fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of you fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of you fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
The song ended as she smiled. Inu-yasha tilted his head in confusion. "Oh sorry it's just that was one of my favourite songs" Inu-yasha nodded and asked "Do you have any other favourite songs?" "This next one is" she said.
When I was just a little girl
My momma use to tuck me into bed
And she'd read me a story
It always was about a princess
In distress and how a guy would save her
And end up with the glory
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that
I wanted to be
Don't people realize
That fairytale life
Wasn't for me
I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For some prince to come in save me
On my own I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna by
NO, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
I can slay my own dragons
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shinning armour
Is me
So I'm going to set me free
I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For some prince to come in save me
On my own I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
I don't want to be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like someone waiting
For some prince to come in save me
On my own I will survive
Unless somebody's on my side
Don't wanna by
NO, no, no one else
I'd rather rescue myself
Inu-yasha smiled and thought 'Yup that's my Kagome' then a frown came upon his face. 'But what did that other song mean?'
Kagome sighed and then out of no where a person came in front of the road. Kagome didn't recognize the person but she didn't want another person to die. She swerved out of the way and lost control of the car. A truck came into view and then they crashed into the truck. Kagome looked at Inu-yasha. It seemed he was alright. Kagome sighed and her world became pitch black.
