Last Straw

Disclaimer: I own Inuyasha! Vincent: Don't mind her. She's not feeling well. She still wants Shippo though.
AN: DOE'S ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET ITALICS UP! I really need to know. I feel better now. Well, I just feel physically bad now. My parents are thinking of taking me to the hospital. I got plenty of reviews! So happy. I love reviews! Many people are requesting Kouga/Kagome. Kiochi is overjoyed. Should I let Vincent and Kiochi put in comments? They might want to spend more time bickering and annoying me. Kiochi says, and I quote, "this gig is taking up my video game time". Vincent wants to bug me about this story. So, tell me what you think.

~* Sango's POV*~
It was a week before I could get both Kaede and Miroku in the same room without Inuyasha and Kikyo around. I really did *not* want to see those two together. It was just disgusting. Inuyasha constantly ran off with her. I hope that I never see what they do during those times. I don't want to claw my own eyes out.
"Why have ye called us here," Kaede asked.
I dug around in the folds of my kimono and drew out the letter I had found with the shikon shards. "I found this with the shards. I'm pretty sure it's from Kagome. I can't read it," I told them.
"Why did you want both myself and Kaede here?" Miroku asked.
"Kagome probably wanted all of us to see it," I replied.
Miroku nodded before asking to see the paper. After looking at it for a minute before saying, "It is from Kagome. It says why she left."
"Stop stalling and red it monk," I told him.
*Sango, Miroku, and Kaede, I wrote this to tell you I'm leaving to search for the shards on my own. Inuyasha has Kikyo now so he won't miss me. I wish I could stay but I fear for my life. Kikyo needs my soul to live again and I have a feeling that she still wants to kill me. I can't let that happen. I have all of you and my family to live for. Kikyo died long ago. I hope that someday she is laid to her eternal rest, but that can't happen right now. I am too vulnerable in the group. I would be an easy enough target for her and I know Inuyasha wouldn't help me. I'll miss you guys. Don't worry about me, I've been practicing my archery and have gotten a lot better. I also plan to get some fighting lessons soon. Be careful. I'm sure we'll meet again, Kagome. P.S. Shippo is coming with me, so don't worry about him. *
"I hope the child is right," Kaede said. I hoped so too. I wanted to see my friend again. Please be safe Kagome. Please come back soon, I want to see you again.
~* Kouga's POV*~
The place here Kagome lived was strange. It reeked of human and thousands of scents I couldn't place. Her family was insane. They all were odd. The old man the most of all. Those sticky papers were very annoying. The place she had led us to was filled with her scent. It was very soothing to my tortured nose. Although she had many odd objects in the room. I was curious. I knew Ginta, Haggaku and Shippo were also intrigued.
Ginta walked over to a strange, black box on an odd piece of furniture. He pushed one of the many knobs and buttons on it. Immediately a loud, pounding noise came from the demon box. Ginta was about to claw it to pieces when Kagome knocked him aside and hit another button. The sound stopped as suddenly as it had come on.
"That is a boom box. It plays music. You shouldn't touch that for now. Maybe I should just explain everything to you," She said. She started showing us various objects in the room and explaining what they were and what they did. "I'll show you more after dinner. Please don't touch anything for now. I don't want anything broken," she added as she sat down on her bed.
"Do you have anything I can play with I can play with?" the kitsune said as he hoped into Kagome's lap She nodded and stood up before moving to her closet, which was off-limits no matter what along with her dresser that the noisy boom box sat on. She rummaged around for a while before pulling out some paper and a small box. She handed these to Shippo who jumped around happily for a second before settling himself on the floor and using brightly colored sticks to make colorful drawing on the paper.
"What are those little sticks?" Haggaku asked, voicing my own question.
"These are crayons!" Shippo said. "You use them to draw and color pictures!" he added. I watched as a picture formed on the paper. In a few minutes I saw the entire picture as the kit pulled back to admire his work.
The picture showed a male in a fox costume standing triumphantly over something that reminded me of the boom box. A female in a cat costume smiled at the fox. A male in a wolf suit stood next to her, also smiling at the fox. All of them looked strangely familiar. I looked at the two other wolves and Kagome to see if they had also noticed the drawing. They were chatting as if nothing had happened.
"Dinner!" a voice that I guess belonged to my future mate's mother shouted. Kagome motioned for us to follow her as we went back downstairs and into another room that smelled of food and Kagome's mother. I was led to a strange, raised table and bid to sit on a strange 'chair' as Kagome called it. Haggaku and Ginta sat next to me with Kagome seated on my other side. Shippo had jumped into her lap. Her family was seated on the other side of the table.
The food in front of me was strange but, not wanting to insult her family, I ate it. I discovered cooked meat and whatever else was on the plate was quite good. Ginta and Haggaku had also discovered the same thing as myself. Shippo was shoveling the food into his mouth at a speed I didn't think anything could've achieved.
"Kagome, who are your friends?" her mother asked. Kagome seemed nervous for a minute before starting to introduce us.
"This" she pointed at Shippo who had stopped eating for the moment, "is Shippo, the kitsune kit I take care of. Those two," she gestured to Ginta and Haggaku, "are two wolf youkai named Ginta and Haggaku. This" she now indicated me, " is Kouga, the wolf prince." She then turned to her family. "Guys, this is my mom," she gestured to the woman I had already guessed to be her mother, "that is my brother, Souta," she indicated the young boy, " and this is my grandfather," the old man was pointed to.
"Very nice to meet you," Kagome's mother said. Souta and the old man also voiced the same. The others and myself returned the gesture.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Souta questioned. Kagome stiffened noticeably.
"Please tell us dear," her mother implored. I could tell this woman was where Kagome got her natural kindness. Kagome nodded before explaining what she had told us before in my den. Her family was disappointed by the mutt's action but nodded and reassured her that if he treated her like that, he just wasn't worth it.
"Are you traveling with them now?" Souta asked. She was about to reply when I interrupted.
"We will travel with her and help her retrieve the shards," I told them.
"Good. That era is too dangerous to go around without good friends to help you when things get tough," her grandfather stated.
The rest of the meal passed in silence. We cleared the table and ended up in a large room talking. It was soon dark. That is when Souta decided to ask where everyone was sleeping.
"Shippo will stay with me in my room. Two of the wolves could sleep in here and one could stay in Souta's room," Kagome said. Her mother glanced at Souta, who looked very excited over the prospect of having one of us in his room.
"How about Ginta and Haggaku stay in the living room. I'm sure Kouga would rather stay in your room. He knows you better." Kagome nodded after noticing Souta's expression.
"Good. I'll get some blankets and mats for them to sleep on," the kindly woman said.
I was overjoyed. Even if I was sleeping on the floor, I was still sleeping near *my* Kagome. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~* How was that? Good, bad, or just plain ugly. Please tell me about the questions at the top. Along with a request for a wolf face. Remember to review!
