Author: [sigh and sob] It seems that not very many people are interested in
Kouga fics.oh well. But I will continue, mark my words..Kouga WILL find
happiness.
On a lighter note, there is a really good Inu/Kag romance that I found called Sweet Dreams Inuyasha by Hennyo-Ryu7. It's yet another Inu/Kag romance, but is surprisingly interesting, and well written (especially because this is his or her first fic posted on ff.net). So support him/her, because they deserve it.
Anyway, back to the sad romantic life of the one and only Kouga.
BTW I Don't own Inuyasha, Kagome, or Kouga (though I wish I did)
Chapter 3:
Kouga stared at the face of the warrior who had made an attempt at his life oh so short a time ago and smiled. Her skin was actually as soft as it seemed he had figured out while patching her wounds. She didn't really suffer any huge injuries from the fall except for a chipped bone in her left leg. She slept peacefully on the bed of straw that Kouga normally used for his own, without so much as a peep.
He inspected the bandages again for the 4th time in the last 20 or so minutes, knowing full well that, besides the leg injury, none of the wounds were truly serious enough for bandages, even for a human; however, he could not help but feel truly protective of her. After deducing that they were all good still and none of them needed to be changed, Kouga sat back near the head of this lavender haired human goddess that the fates had so kindly brought to him, pondering his situation.
'I know I must have her but I don't know why.' he thought to himself, slowly drifting again into his thoughts 'What is it about her that makes me act this way?' The wolf youkai struggled inside himself through and through trying to find the answer to his question. 'Why do I care about her so much? Why do I feel so content just being near her? Erg, she has gotten to me so much and I don't even know her name. Curses, I wish knew.' Due to this frustration, Kouga took the time to get up and punch the nearest wall to the cave, with just enough power to make it crumble a little but not shake the cave.
"You okay Kouga?" asked one of the tribesmen that had been pushed out of the cave by the curiously protective leader when he striped the woman to bandage all her wounds.
"I'm okay, everything is alright" Kouga replied.
Kouga sat back down near her head and prepared to check the bandages yet again when she started to stir. He was surprised at first, but also relieved that she was waking (though why, he didn't know). He leaned over her face to get a good look at her as she opened the raspberry pools of pure beauty that captivated him so.
The slayer's eyes opened wide, ruining the moment and she let out a short scream before sliding out from underneath the youkai that was towering over her. She backed against a cave wall, flinching a little from the obvious pain in her leg, and her hands fell to her sides, looking for shurikans that Kouga had already taken well away from her. Upon realizing this, she gave the youkai a glare and let out an aggravated "growl", then reached behind her back for the daggers that she had used earlier, only to find that they were also gone.
Kouga sat there all this time, moving little outside but fighting inside. 'SAY SOMETHING, ANYTHING!!!!' he screamed at himself, knowing that he had no idea what to say in this situation.
"Nice to see your awake" He blurted out, for lack of anything better to say. "Are your wounds okay?" he asked, knowing full well that a human child would probably have been fine with most of her injuries.
The slayer didn't answer, she simply continued to look all over body, in every pouch and possible storing space, for any shurikans that the youkai forgot to take.
"So uh.." Kouga muttered, as he clumsily and desperately searched for words to say. "Are you feeling okay?"
The slayer glared again and went back to her search without saying a word.
"Well, if your wondering where you are." Kouga started, still feeling unconfident about talking to her. "This is my Den, I brought you here to tend to your wounds"
Kouga felt his pride beginning to muster even as he spoke.
"Why?" The slayer asked, taking a quick reprieve from her task. "Do you prefer your lunch to be in good condition? Or is it so you can enjoy hunting me down before you kill me?" She shot out, her voice thick with anger and hate in oppose to the fear that most would have during this conversation.
"No no no" Kouga replied frantically waving his hands in front of his face while shaking his head. "You've got it all wrong, I have no desire to eat you, I simply brought you here out of concern. Honest."
"Really?" the slayer spat out sarcastically, not believing a word. "Wolf youkai tribes are known for their deep ties to their pack. Some have even been known to sacrifice themselves for the well being of another of a few. Right?"
"Well, yeah, I guess so." Kouga replied.
"So then why would you bring me, one who already not only made and attempt on your life, but also endangered one of your friends, to this place where I can do more danger? I thought that the wolf youkai held nothing more sacred than their pack." She asked, then resumed her search for her hidden weapons.
Kouga started to squirm uncomfortably at this argument. After all, she was right, normally he's have killed her on the spot of even just left her out to die, but never bring her here. What continued to drive him more mad wasn't that he had brought her here, it was why he couldn't even dream of killing her, and the thought of his pack devouring her made him cringe even more. At this point the slayer looked up again to see the uncomfortable youkai, realizing that what she said held some obvious effect on him, she figured that she would pursue the interrogation: just for fun.
"What's wrong?" She mocked "Is there something you want to tell me? You know, you're a lousy liar, I know you want to eat me, so why not just do it? I want to hear it from your own mouth." She hoped to herself for just a moment that she could use to get out of the Den. She knew she could come back anytime to finish what had been begun, however now was not the time to stick around.
Kouga cringed a little more, then decided it best to change the subject before something really bad happened. "Anyway.I never got your name." Kouga complimented himself in his mind for the quick thinking, and held his breath hoping that she would move on and cease the interrogation.
"You know it's rude to change the subject like that." She said. "Besides, I didn't give it." She said coldly before resuming her tiring task of looking for weapons (which was quickly getting old, and she was running out of places to look).
"Oh come on" Kouga pleaded to her "I brought you here and tended to your wounds, something that even you know is taboo. If I'd have left you out there, you might have been eaten by some other youkai out there. All I ask in return is your name."
The slayer heaved a heavy sigh and retreated once again from her task and glare up at him again. "Lillian" was all she said then returned to her job.
Her hands slowly made their way to the inside of her outfit near the chest and her eyes widened and twitched a few times at the realization of what it meant.
She looked at the wolf with eyes full of disbelief. "y-y-you stripped me?" She asked, hoping that this was a mistake.
"Huh?" Kouga caught off guard by her question. "Oh, yes I had to, to make sure to get all of your wounds. Don't worry, I sent everyone else out of the cave when I did it so no one else saw you. By the way" he let out a short whistle and pointed to her chest "Not bad"
If Lillian had been angry and twitching before, this brought down a whole new level anger. Veins in her head and neck began to bulge as her whole body tensioned up.
"Oh?" Kouga replied "Does that bother you?"
Lilian was nearly awestruck at the wolf youkai's simplicity, but found it to be no excuse for his actions. So she decided that she would take matters into her own hands, and in what seemed to her as a split second she was pouncing through the air with a fist in front of her, ignoring the sudden sharp pain in her leg.
Kouga (seeing this coming a mile away without even anticipating it) slowly arched back and rose a palm to swiftly catch the quickly approaching object. He realized however that he had underestimated her power from her position, and when the blow came, the force was just enough to knock the off balance youkai on his back against a wall, and land a surprised youkai slayer on top of him in a VERY questionable position.
Out of instinct, Kouga softened his (already soft) grip on her hand and slid his unoccupied hand around her waist holding her close to him. She was so close that Kouga lost all prospective on reality outside of the immediate area. All he could focus on was her, and that was all he wanted to do.
He heard her stifle a yelp from immediate surprise when she fell into his chest, and quietly "sh"d her to attempt to calm her. Bliss overtook the youkai as the realization that she was so close nearly forced him into a trance while the name "Lilian" danced on the edge of his lips.
Caught in the perfection of the moment, he failed to notice the slight struggling against his hold on the one that he so adored. She tried with futility to free herself from her captor, and after a few seconds, as the position they were in dawned on her, she started to once again get annoyed.
She looked up into the glazed eyes of the youkai that would not let go of her, and her anger began to kick in more and more.
'He's ENJOYING this isn't he???' she thought to herself. By now she was fully peeved at this turn of events, and rather than be stuck so close to the youkai that had not only humiliated her so, but also obviously needed a bath, decided that there was one thing she could do. 'It worked once before' she thought, before drawing a deep breath.
Had Kouga not been so thoroughly enchanted by the situation, he may have noticed the cry for help that his senses exclaimed in a futile attempt to save his previously damaged organ, but he was. However, when that knee strike connected, he came straight out of his trance and to an excruciatingly familiar world of pain.
The wolf youkai immediately relaxed his grip, allowing the woman to pull back. Trying vainly to suppress a yelp (might I add very vainly), he pinched back a small unintentional tear that started to burn against his eye, as his hands fell back to his damaged relic and he retreated to a fetal position.
Lilian, taking full advantage of this turn of events, immediately pulled away from Kouga's broken form. With a grim smile she suppressed the aching pain on her lag, trying to ignore it but unable to hide the definite limp. She positioned herself further in the cave and stood straight up (with great pain) and took a square stance. She rose one of her hands palm face up and began chanting and drawing the symbol from before with her other hand.
Kouga's eyes opened wide when he heard her. Immediately the pain vanished (sort of) and he rolled over to look at her hoping that his ears deceived him. Surely enough, they didn't, Lilian stood there in all her grace, chanting away, and the lucid symbol from before appearing in front of her. Kouga knew he was in trouble because this time, not only was the symbol there, but the winds started to pick up around her and the energy she emitted even sent a small chill down his spine.
The swirling winds did not help Kouga's situation at all. The small device that kept her hair pinned down blew out and released lavender stands of beauty that would have fallen down to her shoulders. The hair blew in her face, and the pure awe left Kouga speechless, had he been able to move (due to the reappearance of a familiar pain) he wouldn't have wanted to.
Lilian looked at him coldly with a grim smile painted on her face. "This time, I won't miss." The symbol in front of her grew brighter the warmth of the impending thunder strike surged through her fingers, and all Kouga could think to himself was 'This is really gonna hurt'.
"Denko Jutsu!!!!!!!" She cried out and thrust her hands forward sending out a thunder bolt easily three times the size of the one from earlier.
A flash of light, and a sudden sensation was all Kouga knew then and was jettisoned out of the Den with an alarming speed. This left Lilian barely standing back where she was, the blast took nearly all of her energy, and grounding herself nearly made her scream form the pain in her leg, surely that had only made it worse.
'At least he's dead' she thought to herself, panting incredibly and wincing at the very thought of trying to walk away. 'The weapons I can get more of so I'll just go, hopefully the shock of their dead leader will keep the other pack members off me. Now, back to the village to collect that bounty and relax.'
She suppressed yelps of agony as she walked to the entrance of the cave. A small smirk streamed across her face as she saw the group of pack members huddles around where she guessed Kouga's carcass must have been.
'Serves him right' she thought to herself. As she made her way away from the cave. She hadn't made it very far when she heard a familiar voice that sent a chill of disbelief down her back.
"Where do you think your going?" Kouga asked mockingly. He sat up straight smiling and wiping a little bit of blood away from his lip, with the majority of the fur on his upper body singed and a whole in the center of his breastplate. "Feisty one aren't you?"
Lilian stood in full shock as Kouga made his way to his feet with little trouble. He walked slowly over to her, while her jaw remained wide open. 'I- i-i-is he immortal?' she thought to herself.
"Surprised?" he asked when he reached her. The dust swayed and gave to the wind as his tail swished lightly to one side giving to it's superior yet subtle force. "You are truly incredible" he said just before pushing her hair out of her face.
Lilian came out of her shock and pulled back, growling softly. She stepped back onto her injured leg, and in the process yelped quietly as her leg gave under the sudden pressure. She slowly started falling backwards, and lacking he energy to catch herself, gave in to the will of gravity.
"Careful" was all Kouga said as he gently caught her and helped her back up onto her strong leg. "I brought you here for you to heal, so just rest alright?"
Kouga pulled away from her angry gaze to look upon his confused pack of friends, his arm still around the woman, who at this time was not very happy with this, but had little choice in the matter.
He stood proud and prepared to address his pack. "Listen up!!!!" he began "Everything this woman has done against our pack is hereby forgiven. You are not allowed to touch her in any way that has ill meaning, treat her as one of us." he paused allowing what he had said to sink in knowing the most important part was still to come. He looked into the confused, raspberry eyes of the one he held so dear, then looked to his pack again. "For I will make her My woman!!!!" He announced.
Author: Okay, weak ending, I know but oh well, this has been long enough already. Lol. Anyway, Kouga has made his "Declaration of Love", tell me what you think, there is more to come. BTW, I had major writer's block while writing this chapter so if you want to help out, submit ideas to either phantomgamer01@yahoo.com or reach me on AOL Instant Messenger at phantomgamer01.
