I honestly hope no one hates Kouga after this fic because who else could have such a jealous spirit? I love Kouga, so I hope you do too I won't make him do anything too drastic on 'purpose'.

KAI POV
The princess and the rest of her people decided to go freshen up before eating, so I decided to make sure Kouga hadn't eaten Ray yet. When I entered the sunlit room Kouga was petting a wolf...I looked around the room...no sign of Ray anywhere. I immediately switched back to glaring at Kouga and his wolf, I swear if that mongrel had anything to do with Ray disappearing I'll roast him for diner.
"Where's Ray?" I demanded, I couldn't waste any time.
Kouga just stared up at me for a couple of seconds then turned back to his wolf. I could feel my blood boiling, the nerve of this guy!
I growled menacingly balling my fists, "Something wrong with your ears, doggie boy? I asked you a question."
"And I choose not to answer." Kouga answered in a toneless voice.
"Listen, Kouga." I growled using his name for the first time, "Where is Ray?"
Kouga heaved a sigh, "Are you so blind as to not see him right outside?"
I grunted and stormed out the door all the while listening to Kouga tell his wolf how brainless I was. I wanted to drag myself back in there and beat the hell outta him, but having self control, I didn't.
I instantly spotted Ray hunched over with his back towards me. I walked closer until I was directly behind Ray.
Ray was silent for a while and suddenly squealed, "Gimmie a hug you ol'love machine!"
I looked at what Ray was talking to; it was a hideous green toad like thing carrying a wooden staff.
Ray frowned for a second inspecting the frog person, "No huggie?"
"LORD SESSHOMARU!!!!" The thing croaked waving his hands in the air calling for help, "LORD SESSHOMARU!!!!"
Ray hissed and grabbed the frog's staff and whacked him across the head with it until he stopped screaming.
"Bad Jaken, Baaadd!" Ray smacked him on the head with his staff one more time.
The Jaken fellow was on the ground twitching with a huge bump on his little green head. Honestly, where does Ray find these people? Ray noticed I was behind him and turned around frowning.
"He no give huggie." Ray stated the obvious poking Jaken, "You give huggie?"
I smirked and gave Ray a hug, "I thought I told you to say with Kouga."
"Kouga is playing with his doggie friend." Ray hiccupped, "Doggie friend no like me."
I hugged Ray tighter, "That's alright Ray I like you."
Ray giggled and moved closer into my hold.
"Oh lord Sesshomaru! I'm so glad you're here!" Jaken cried almost breaking down into sobs.
But Sesshomaru walked right past him not bothering to look down. I was mentally cracking up, what a loser this Jaken was.
Ray scrambled away from me and over to Sesshomaru sitting beside him under a tree. Sesshomaru either didn't notice or didn't care. Ray peered over his shoulder at the fluffy white thing that closely resembled a tail, but it couldn't be a tail, it was in the wrong place.
I watched as Ray crawled over to Sesshomaru's other side and rubbed his cheek against the fur. Ray smiled a great smile and buried his face into the mass of brilliant white fur. But his moment didn't last long because in a flash he was back at my side with a disgruntled Inu-yasha situated in front glaring daggers at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru stood up and walked over to where Jaken was facing Inu-yasha, and only then did I realize the great similarity they held.
"What are you doing here?" Inu-yasha asked rather rudely.
"Dear little brother, that is none of your concern." Sesshomaru answered, his voice held an air of arrogance that said 'fear me, for I am superior' he gave me the chills.
Inu-yasha just growled some more clasping his hand over the handle of his sword unsheathing it.
"Put your sword back, there is no need for it now." Sesshomaru whistled and a large two-headed dragon appeared. Sesshomaru climbed upon the dragon along with Jaken and took flight.
Inu-yasha practically barked as he put back his sword and turned to face Ray a look of concern clouding his normally neutral eyes, "Did he do anything to hurt you Ray?"
Ray looked at Inu-yasha for a second and then whimpered holding up a large pink bow, "We were going to play dress up...but I guess I could use you..."
The look on Inu-yasha's face was pricless, he let out a sound a cross between a strangled bark and a whimper(1)
Ray turned to look at me a mischievous glint in his amber orbs, "MAKE OVER!!"
(IMPORTANT NOTE: Inu-yasha's hairdo is by request of Aoisea)
I and Inu-yasha were seated on the soft grassy floor waiting for Ray to finish doing what he started 5 minutes ago.
"And why exactly am I doing this?" Inu-yasha asked snapping his head in my direction.
"Cause you've been a bad puppy!" Ray answered his question for me, tugging sharply on a bunch of Inu-yasha's silvery white hair.
"YEWWOWW!!!" Inu-yasha jumped a foot in the air clutching his head in agony, what you do that for?!"
"I told you not to move you head." Ray answered bluntly, tugging once more on silvery strands.
"My masterpiece is finished!" Ray exclaimed patting down some hair which refused to stay down, "Or maybe a couple more minutes..."
I had to control my laughter, Inu-yasha's hair was covered in ponytails held up by giant pink bows, he looked like someone out of Mariah's wardrobe, and that's just plain hideous.(2) The ponytails were in one line over his head, making it look like a crown...of hideous pink Mariah-like bows.
Once Inu-yasha was done Ray settled down and started to criticize his 'masterpeice.', "Nice long hair...pretty, pretty...But rough and stinky...needs a bath..."
Inu-yasha was currently making odd noises and twitching uncontrollably as Ray coaxed him to take a bath, since that didn't work Ray settled for dragging Inu-yasha over to the hot springs.
"There's no way you're gonna make me take a bath, no way no how!" Inu-yasha crossed his hands over his chest in defiance standing at the edge of the springs, one misplaced foot and in he goes.
"Doggie stinky!!" Ray huffed, "Needs bath!!"
Ray ran towards Inu-yasha in an act to force him into having a bath, but the great half breed was way too quick for Ray...you can only imagine what happened next.
Ray waving his hands standing on his tiptoes at the very edge of the springs trying desperately not to fall into the water, seeing this Inu-yasha swiftly appeared behind Ray and before I could do anything it all happened.
Inu-yasha smirked innocently, "Need some help?"
"Helppppp!!!!" Ray wailed frantically waving his arms.
"Ok, if you say so." Inu-yasha shrugged and poked Ray in the back causing Ray to fumble right into the springs.
"RAY!" I called reaching my hand out, but it served no purpose.
I watched as Ray quickly resurfaced gasping for air, "Help I can't swim!"
What was Ray trying to do? He hated the water...you know, it's a cat thing, but it didn't mean he couldn't swim, hell he could swim like a fish.
"Inu-yasha, do something!" I ordered my voice showing desperation.
"I-I-I'm coming Ray!!!" Inu-yasha leaped onto a rock closest to the drowning Ray and held out his hand.
Ray instantly grabbed onto his hand, but instead of using it to hoist himself out of the water Ray tugged harshly at Inu-yasha's arm sending the poor guy hurtling in the air and then plummeting beneath the surface of the water.
Just as fast as he sunk he rose but only to be dunked back under the water, "Doggie needs a bath!"
Inu-yasha emerged from the springs dripping wet...bows and all.
"Here." I smirked, tossing him Kagome's blow dryer while towel drying Ray's silky raven locks.
"What this?" Inu-yasha asked bending low to the ground sniffing the blow dryer he refused to catch.
"A blow dryer to dry your hair, press the on button." Kagome answered coming from behind.
Inu-yasha looked skeptical but he trusted Kagome whole heartily.
"YAAAAAHHH!" Inu-yasha yelped tossing the blow dryer in the air as soon as the hot air reached his face, "HOT, HOT, HOT!!!"
Kagome sighed and caught the dryer and switched the setting to warm and proceeded doing Inu-yasha's hair.
Inu-yasha relaxed when he found out this blow dryer wasn't going to pop alive and eat him.
I smirked at the sight, Inu-yasha was a great fighter, but when it came to simple mechanisms such as a blow dryer...he was purely pathetic. I looked down at Ray who was purring contently in my lap...he's such a kitten. I smiled and continued to dry his hair.
"The princess has arrived at the table!" Sango called from the doorway.
We took as our cue to go inside.
Once inside I found everyone seated at the neat wooden table; Tyson was quietly munching on a fish, Max was eyeing the sugar coated fruits, Kenny was showing Dizzi the food, Miroku was obviously flirting with the princess which quickly got Sango's attention, and she dragged him by the ear all the way to the end of the table with Miroku grumbling how unfair women could be. Shippo was holding back Kilala from gobbling up the fish, Inu-yasha was being lectured by Kagome on how to eat with chopsticks, And to my disappointment Kouga was there too, how he squirmed his way in I have no idea, the King and two other men were quietly chatting and Ray was hanging of my shoulder trying not to collapse onto the floor.
I walked over to an empty spot beside Sango and sat down placing Ray beside me.
"Is he OK?" Sango asked worried for Ray's little drinking incident.
"Fine." I mumbled picking up Ray from the floor he painfully collapsed on.
"What he needs is rest." Sango suggested, "But he should eat or he'll be weak in the morning...but what about the hangover? Hmmm..."
I admire the fact that Sango was genuinely concerned about Ray, but I could take care of him myself, "He'll be fine Sango, I'm here to take care of him."
"That's so sweet of you." Sango smiled warmly placing glass plates in front of me and Ray, "The things people do for ones most dear to them..."
What she said held a great deal of truth, I cared for Ray immensely and I loved him with all my heart...no one else would do. I couldn't help notice the sadness in Sango's eyes. I may not look it, but I can tell what a person is thinking by looking into their eyes, one of the many reasons Ray has a hard time lying to me.
"Ahem..." The King cleared his throat as he rose to get our attention, "I would like to announce my great joy of my daughter's safe return, but it wouldn't have been possible without the help of Mr. Rasmer and Mr. Hue, this is my way of saying thanks to them, with a lovely meal."
We did all the work and we get no thank you's? What a selfish man...
"And I shall not forget to thank these young men and women seated here, to show my gratitude you are most welcome to eat along with us."
Never mind, I didn't say anything...
"Wow! Really? Gee, thanks Mr.King!" Tyson laughed heartily loading his plate with food.
Tyson will always be Tyson... I would scold him but I don't enjoy attention the way he does.
"Fooooood...me hungry!!" Ray perked up at the mention of food.
I watched and Ray grabbed a bowl of thick mushroom stew and literarily dumped his face in it.
"Mmmm..." Came the muffled reply from Ray.
I sighed and lifted Ray's head from the bowl, cleaning all the contents of his face.
"Let's eat!" The King announced.
The King, the princess and her body guards all left to go to sleep so it was just the 12 of us (including Kilala.)
"I really don't feel like sleeping yet, what do you suggest we do?" Kagome asked wiping her mouth.
"Why don't we have another party?" Kouga suggested looking around the room, "I mean, there's still a lot of fruit and drinks."
"I'm up for that. What about the rest of you?" Sango agreed, "And besides, I'm still hungry cause Tyson ate all the food."
"Hey! I didn't eat ALL the food! What do you people take me for?!" Tyson barked stomping his foot in anger.
"A pig with no manners, from what I've seen so far." Kouga stated crossing his arms.
"Why you litt-" Tyson was cut of by Max and Kenny telling him not to over react and that Kouga didn't really mean it.
Kouga eyed the last remaining bottle of Sake in a bucket of melted ice and reached for it saying, "I have a toast to prepare!"
"That's not how it's said." I grunted, snickering when he looked at me blankly.
"So you think your hot stuff huh?" Kouga huffed sticking his nose in the air, "But being the man that I am I'm not going to lower myself to childish tactic's of arguing senselessly, you no good ego-tistic fool."
"Man my but..." I muttered under my breath. And how dare he call me ego-tisic, he knows nothing at all about me.
"So who's up for drinks?" Miroku asked pouring the sweet rice wine into tall wine glasses.
Kagome refused seeing as she was only 15, Inu-yasha gladly took a glass since he was obsessed with the sweetness, I warned Tyson, Max and Kenny to get to bed since them being only 14 wasn't a good idea to be around temptations. Shippo and Kilala got immediately kicked out of the room by Kouga, Sango decided that one or two glasses wouldn't hurt, Miroku decided he didn't want to miss out in the fun and I just took a little and sat against the wall with Ray in my lap.
"Can I have some?" Ray asked sniffing the liquid.
"No Kitten, you already had enough." I replied taking a sip.
"Please?"
"I'm sorry you can't." I hated the fact that I was saying no to Ray, but it was for his own good.
Ray puffed out his cheeks and squirmed closer to me. After a while Ray spotted Kouga preparing to chug down the rest of the Sake in the bottle so he immediately raced towards him yelling, "Miiiinnnneee!!!" And with that I watched in horror as Ray guzzled down the cool fluid, he was going to have one hell of a hangover in the morning.
Ray was suddenly all woozy and was swaying dangerously. I caught him in my arms before he collapsed to the floor. Ray grumbled something inaudible to my ears and crushed his lips onto mine.
"Ray, you should really get some rest." I wanted to continue kissing, but Ray needed rest.
"No." Ray was rebellious, He pushed his lips back on mine and I complied deepening the kiss, I wouldn't totally ignore Ray.
Ray's usually innocent smile was replaced by a devilishly naughty one as he slipped out of my grip as he made his way over to Miroku grabbing his behind and laughing mechanically. Sango seeing this proudly announced, "The groped got groped!"
It was getting late and I needed to find Ray. I walked into another room...the kitchen I think and found Ray pressed up against the back wall by Kouga.
"Mmm...Kai..." Ray mumbled as Kouga continued to kiss him.
"See Kagome, I'm much better than that flee bag, Inu-trasha or whatever." Kouga said kissing Ray again.
I know most people would be outraged to find their lover kissing someone else, but I wasn't. In the beginning I was, but it was just hilarious now, I'm gonna love tomorrow.
I walked over to Ray and peeled Kouga away from him, "Play times over, hit the sack." I snickered as Kouga mouthed the words, "Later Kagome."
NOTE: I'm done I'm done I'm done!!! And the next chapter will take a while since I start highschool tomorrow, but no worries I'll try my best to get the chapter done quick depending on my reviews...oh and I finished my Bio...I know not really important, but I thought I'd tell you'll. TA TA
