Aaannnddd my prediction was right x.x I got anti-kouga/kag reviews... but that was expected... and guess what my summary of my educated response is?

UP YOURS!

n.n

Alright, I got a review some someone (we'll refer to them as reviewer A) who decided to announce that they had lost interest in the story and prolly wouldn't be finishing it. My response:

...That's nice... 0o I'm glad that you felt the undenyable urge to tell me that you lost interest in a story, told me about how you don't like Kouga/Kagome stories, and finally wrapped it up with how you won't be finishing it XD Give the story a chance... I'm going to give a BIG spoiler at the end of this chapter where I put in my two cents. Believe me, after you read it you'll want to continue reading, no matter HOW much you dislike the pairing n.n

Reviewer B: Uh... yeah... she IS like Kikyou, but that's the point. Inuyasha broke her, so she went "soulless/emotionless"...like Kikyou XD Guess what? Read the end of this chapter.

So yeah...

BRING IT ON, ANTI-KOUGA/KAGOME PEOPLE, BRING-IT-ON!! -holds up dictionary- I am ready to respond XD

Oh... and Rin... stop XD

Been There, Done That

Chapter Six

----------------------

Kagome woke up, a warm, fuzzy feeling overwhelming her senses. Giving off a very cat-like yawn, she rolled over and burrowed into the warmth that was surrounding her. As soon as she did that, she heard a rough... growl? Purr? Scrunching her nose slightly, she grumbled some profanities and snuggled closer. Another growl-purr reached her ears. Finally, she could take no more, "Son of a-... whatever that is, shut up. I'm sleepy and comfortable and dammit I am GONNA sleep!"

(A/N: That is so much like me it's not even funny. I actually knocked my cellphone off my desk because it was ringing XD)

"Koishii," a masculine voice murmured, kissing her neck gently and nibbling here and there, "you have to wake up, koishii, we have to go."

Kagome let out a fake sob, "No... so comfortable..." she wrapped her arms around, who she could now identify, Kouga's torso, curling her body against his.

Kouga let out a sigh and stroked the girls hair lovingly, "Mate, you have to get up. We need to find Kikyou and complete your quest, remember?"

"Kikyou can-" Kagome yawned hugely, "-screw herself."

"Aren't you chipper in the morning..." Kouga mumbled, poking her in the side, sending his mate into a furious fit of giggles. An evil smile graced his comely features as he mercilessly poked/tickled her side.

"Kouga!" she squealed between fits of giggles, "Stop! Please! Can't-- breathe!!" Tears streamed down her face from laughing so hard.

Kouga lessened his attack and took a better route: kisses. "Are you awake now...?"

Kagome sighed as Kouga kissed each of her fingers, her wrist, her palm, and her neck. "I suppose..." After a minute more of cuddling, Kagome stood and stretched. "I'd better go and take a bath, then we can head out... I have some on-the-go energy bars we can have to breakfast..."

Kouga raised an eyebrow at his retreating mate. "En-oo-gee bah-errs?"

------------------------

Kagome lowered herself into the frigid lake, teeth chattering. "Okay, I admit, I did take freezing baths when I was training, but this is below even THAT standard!" She shivered, but proceeded to clean herself anyway.

After a moment of shampooing, conditioning, and towel-drying her hair, Kagome walked out to Kouga so that they could continue their quest for the miko's life.

-----------------------

"Mou, Kagome, aishiteru and all but," Kouga made a face, "these... en-oo-gee bah-errs... taste like crap."

Kagome scrunched up her nose. "I know, I think I got the wrong kind..." She sighed, "For now it'll just have to do." She wrapped her arms around Kouga's, her elbows hooking under his shoulder and her hands clinging to the front of his shoulder.

"How long until we reach Kikyou?"

Kagome thought for a moment. "Judging by how far away her presence is, I'd say... roughly another day and a half." She felt Kouga nod, signaling that he heard her, and continued running on.

"You know... my pack really likes you." Kouga said softly.

She smiled against his pack, "Really?"

"Really."

"Ooi,"

"Mm?"

"When did Ayame-chan join your pack?"

"Oh," Kouga paused, "about a month or two ago."

"So she finally got over the moon's rainbow?"

"Yeah, instead she's got Hakkaku to hang all over..."

Kagome gasped, "You mean?"

"Yeah," Kouga smirked, "they're going to be mates soon. Probably before we get back."

Kagome smiled. "Good for them."

All was silent. Finally, Kouga spoke.

"Koishii?"

"Hmm?"

He paused, searching for the right words, "You do know that... when we will Kikyou... we're gonna need to battle Inuyasha as well?"

Kagome's mood darkened. "Yes, I had come to terms with that. It must be done."

"And you know that he'll fight for you as well?"

She nodded. "Yes," She looked up at her ookamiyoukai, "Will you be able to beat him...?"

"Of course!" the lean ookami scoffed, "He'll be easy to beat."

Kagome gave off waves of seriousness. "When you two battle... promise me that you won't die? That you won't leave me?"

Kouga smiled reassuringly at his mate-to-be. "I promise, koishii, nothing, not even death, could pull me from you."

Kagome grinned, at peace. "I'm glad..."

"When we get back," Kouga said, "I'll mark you as mine... forever. Youkai mate for life, you know that, right?"

She nodded.

"And once we mate there will be no going back, we'll be bound forever, both in life and death."

"I understand, Kouga, and there is nothing I could want more." She gave him a loving squeeze from behind, "Aishiteru, Kouga."

"Aishiteru, Kagome." Kouga's heart felt light, and he kicked up dust as he darted towards the horizon, towards the undead miko and the battle before them.

-----------------------

Inuyasha followed them, downwind, naturally, so his scent could not be picked up. "Miserable ookami, taking MY Kagome." he growled, rage consuming him. "We will battle, and I WILL win. Kikyou, don't let them kill you!"

----------------------

e.e Short chapter... u.u Gomen ne!

Okay, here is a BIG spoiler...

Kagome... will not be with ANYBODY at the end of this story. Nor Kouga, nor Inuyasha, nor Kikyou, nor Miroku, NOBODY!
