Last Straw
Disclaimer:I OWN NOTHING! sobs That's why I'm so sad.
(Kouga's POV, Thursday night at dinner)
I slurped up… whatever this stuff is as I thought about recent events.
After the eventful trip to the place of horror referred to as the dreaded mall, the next three days were uneventful. Basically, it was get up, follow Kagome to school while being forced to listen to the harpies blather on about things that wouldn't challenge the intellect of a brain dead weasel, sit in the tree while either listening to whatever Shippo, Ginta, and Haggaku were going on about or listen to the teacher which gave me a headache, then go home while listening to those damn harpies again, then eat, then sleep.
Needless to say, I'm bored out of my skull! I want to go home! I miss my pack and my nice warm furs! I miss patrolling! I miss being able to walk around without the damn hat and shoes! I miss having other demons around! That's it! I can't take it anymore!
"Kagome, when are we going home?" Yes! I managed to say it without breaking the table! Or destroying anything! Or showing that this place is driving me nuts!
"The day after tomorrow. I'm just going to finish up the school week and then we're leaving," Kagome replied in between bites.
"Really?" I swore that I was shaking in excitement. Please say yes! She nodded. YES! I'M GOING HOME!
(Later that evening)
I glared at the TV. Damn, I was stupid some times. Why did I do that?
I was walking down the hall, minding my own business, when someone walked right into me. It was Kagome!
"Um, hi Kouga. I'm sorry I ran into you, I wasn't watching where I was going," she said as she rubbed her head, looking sincerely embarrassed.
"It's all right," I replied. I have no idea why I did it, but I hugged her.
"Um…" Kagome said, her face red as a cherry. I quickly let her go, turning red myself. I shot off, too embarrassed to face her.
Damn, I was stupid! Stupid, stupid, STUPID! I'll never be able to talk to her again! Well, at least something good is on TV.
(Kagome's POV)
I plopped face down on my bed and stared at the clock, trying to sort through my swirling thoughts.
Why? Why did he hug me? Why did my stomach flop around like that? Why do I feel like this? When Inuyasha hugged me, it felt nothing like that and I didn't feel like this afterward either. Am I in love with Kouga?
So many questions, but I don't have an answer for a single one. I need something to keep my mind off of this. I could dig in my closet and find a game, but a puzzle just doesn't sound very appealing right now. I could listen to music, but that always makes me think about stuff like this. I looked at my desk, maybe I could do my homework, that would distract me… but I already finished it. Maybe there was something in the drawers. I hadn't looked in those for a very long time.
I walked over and started to dig through the contents. Look at all this junk, I may as well clean this out while I'm in here. I pulled out my old photo album, I had been wondering what happened to this. I opened it and started paging through. I remember that party and that day. It was nice reliving all of this stuff, but then some newer picture that must have gotten caught in here fell out. I sighed and started picking them up.
I smiled as I looked at pictures of all my friends from school. These would have been taken just before I was pulled into the well for the first time. It was all so different then; I was even a different person. Part of me missed being the girl in the picture, wished I could just go back to that time and do it over. Then I picked up a picture I had taken of my friends from the feudal era and all those regrets flew out the window. I would hate not knowing them. I was now closer to them then my old friends. I really missed them. I just wished I could see them. Sango, Miroku, Kaede, even Inuyasha, I really missed them, I would love to see them, even if it was just for a little while. I wonder how they are doing. Are they happy? Do they miss me? I doubt Inuyasha even really cares, but I bet the others do.
I set the pictures aside and wiped the tears off of my face. When had I started crying? I resumed my digging to find my old art set. I pulled off the top and stared at the well-used supplies. I remember that I had wanted to be an artist before any of this started. I had always wanted to draw manga. The file that I kept at the bottom of the box held all of my old drawings and ideas. I flipped through it and smiled as the old memories of sitting at the desk and just drawing for hours at a time. I'll just draw for a while, that always used to help me. Good memories stayed in my thoughts as my pencil flew across the page.
(Shippo's POV)
All right! I'm finally beating Souta! Just one more hit…
"Bed time!" Kagome's mom shouted. No! She broke my concentration! If he hits me…
"Ha! I won again!" Souta shouted as he jumped up. It wasn't fair, I would have won if I hadn't been distracted. "Hey, maybe you'll beat me next time. That was really close," Souta said as he shut off the box.
"Yeah! Tomorrow you fall!" I said. Man, I couldn't wait to beat him.
"Yeah, right. Good night, Shippo," Souta said with a laugh.
"Good night," I replied as I crossed the hall to Kagome's room. I saw Kouga coming up the stairs. He stopped at the top, turned around and glared as hard as he could at the steps. I had seen him do this before, but I wonder why? Oh well, I'm tired. I quickly hopped through Kagome's door so he wouldn't think I had been snooping. I was snooping, but I just didn't want him to know it.
I saw Kagome hunched over her desk, working on something. I knew her homework was done, I had been in here when she finished, so what was she doing? I hopped on her shoulder to get a better look. Wow, she was really good at drawing, there were a lot scattered over the desk and I did my best to look at them all from my perch. Some were just pictures alone, but most were pictures drawn in boxes with words in there as well. She looked like she was working on a new page of the box drawing.
"Kagome, didn't you hear your mother? Stop doing your homework, it's time for bed," Kouga said as he entered the room and saw her working away. Kagome didn't even twitch in response. "Kagome, are you even in there?" Kouga said as he waved his hand in front of her face. Once again, she made no response. He looked at what had her so distracted, and I saw his eyes widen at the sight of all of her pictures. I wonder why?
(Kouga's POV)
When did she get time to draw all of these amazing pictures? They look amazing… Wait, that guy looks familiar. Is that me? I could feel my eyes widen so much that I was sure that my eyes would roll out of their sockets. What in the world are these about? Wait, there are words. Is she drawing about her adventures?
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Drawing," she replied. No duh!
"Drawing what?" I asked again. No one word answers for me, I was too curious for my own good.
"Manga." Again with the one word answers?
"What's manga?" Yup, too curious.
"Stories told in pictures," Well, at least it wasn't one word.
"Okay, but what is this one about?" I hope she was still out of it. I know if someone kept asking me questions like this, I would be pounding their face in by now.
"My travels in your time," I knew it! That was why everyone looked so familiar!
"Why?" Me and my big mouth! Dead wolf walking!
"I was bored," she was starting to get ticked. Got to think of something fast!
"Well, they're really good." Good! Compliments are good! They placate angry females! "Your mother said to go to bed, so you might want to wrap it up." Stupid! If I had had one of those necklaces like the mutt wore; I'd be kissing the floor right now. I hope she can't get another one of those, I really didn't want to make friends with the ground.
"Thanks," she sighed and put down the stick she had been using to draw. What were those called again? Pens? "She's right, I need to rest up. Come on Shippo, let's get ready for bed." What? Why didn't she hit me? Oh well, thank small miracles. I followed my own earlier advice and put on those 'pajama' things that I was wearing last night. Hey, where did the shirt go? I've got to find it before Kagome comes back! I can't let her see, no don't think! I must find the shirt! Ah, there it is! Thank kami for small miracles!
(Next morning, Kagome's POV)
As usual, I awoke to the sound of my alarm clock. I drowsily reached over and introduced it to my fist again. I'm surprised it hadn't broken by now. I did put it through a lot of abuse. What was today? Oh yeah, Friday. Weekends were so simple. All it was go to school, come home, eat, and sleep. Then do projects, hang out with friends, and watch TV. So simple.
"Kagome, shouldn't you be getting ready for that 'school' thing?" Wait, who was that? And what were they doing in my room? My eyes shot to the floor near my bed, where I saw a black-haired man staring tiredly at me. "Kagome, are you all right? You look like you saw a ghost." Then it all came rushing back to me. That was Kouga, he had every right to be here, especially since I told him he could sleep here.
"I'm fine Kouga. Just tired." I smiled at him as I scooped up Shippo, grabbed my school uniform, and headed for the bathroom to change.
I closed the door to the bathroom and leaned against it. How could I have forgotten about everything? It must have been how everything was exactly like it had been. Well, not exactly, after all, I have three demons following me to school.
That was all changing tomorrow. Tomorrow we were going home.
Wait! Did I just say that? I'm home, but even I had to admit that I was starting to feel more and more attached to that time. I did spend more time there than I did here. I also felt so much more at ease there. The second I land at the bottom of the well all of my stress seems to melt away. I had never slept well before I fell through the well. There, I slept like a baby and woke up happy and rested. Not to mention, I was always more happy there. I wonder why?
Maybe, I really do belong there. Maybe I was just meant to stay with all of my friends.
Or maybe I should just stop thinking and get dressed for school and get the day over with already.
(Kouga's POV)
I wonder what's up with Kagome. For a minute there, it looked like she didn't remember me. Well, if she wants to tell me, she will. I'm not going to pressure her. I need to impress her, I need to be as courteous as possible. I also need to shut my big mouth more often. Oh yeah, I also need to think less.
I pulled on those damn clothes (I can't wait to be able to wear my own clothes again). Thank kami I didn't have to wear these for very long. Tomorrow, I was gong home. And there was no way I was coming back here again! TV may be nice, but I loved my home and my den too much to sacrifice it for a picture-box.
Just one more day of that damned 'school' to deal with. Now, when's breakfast?
I jumped down the stairs as the smell of breakfast reached my nose. I was starved. Eight hours was too long to wait for food. I wonder what we're having? I hope it's not that weird 'cereal' stuff again. It tastes funny.
I ran in and sat down to see that we were having real food. Well, it was soup and cooked fish, but at least it didn't come in a box. Cooked food was weird. Why did humans like it so much? Yet another question buzzing around in my head. One that will probably never be answered, but what else is new?
I turned my attention to the door as I heard someone stomping down the stairs and walking towards the kitchen. Why are mortals so damn noisy? Well, it's not like they could help it. Whatever, doesn't matter.
Souta appeared in the door and quickly plopped down across from me. As soon as his rear hit the chair, he started shoveling his food into his mouth at a rate that would make a starving mutt envious. Kagome soon arrived as well, with the kit on her shoulder.
(Shippo's POV)
Man, Kagome is slow today. I swear it was taking her forever to reach the table. I'm so hungry! I smell food! Let's get moving, Kagome! She finally reached the kitchen and froze at the door for a second, but thankfully she moved and sat down. I jumped off of her shoulder and grabbed my plate. Kagome's mother was such a great cook.
"Kagome, you better hurry up and finish. You need to leave soon," Kagome's mother said as she washed off her dish.
I didn't mind sitting with the wolves, I just wished I could be closer to Kagome. I had tried to sneak into her schoolbag, but Kouga had caught me and pulled me out. Too bad, I would've got away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling wolf! Well, I only have one day left, so I'll just deal with it.
Wait! That means I only have a day to finally beat that stuck up Souta! Now I want this day to go fast. I must beat Souta! I'll show him who's the best gamer!
"Kagome, shouldn't you be leaving now?" Ah, speak of the devil. Mwahahahaha, you don't know what's in store for you. Just wait.
"Huh?" I saw Kagome glance at that thing she wore on her wrist out of the corner of my eye, but evil thoughts took priority, so I didn't care. "Aiee! Look at the time! Come on!" Kagome suddenly scooped me up, grabbed her bag, and headed for the door at breakneck speed. She just managed to stop to get her shoes, before she jumped out the door and ran for the stairs so fast that I started to wonder if she was at least part demon.
"Kagome! Wait up!" Ginta shouted as he, Haggaku, and Kouga ran after us. Kagome slowed just a bit, but not by much. I do wish she would stop running, I think a bug just splatted on my teeth. Yup, it was a bug. Eww! Yuck! Nasty!
(Kouga's POV)
Argh, one minute I'm eating my breakfast, the next I'm chasing down Kagome. When did she start running so fast? Maybe she's part demon? It's unlikely, but it's worth finding out.
Oh great, she just ran down the stairs. It's going to take forever to get down those kami-cursed stairs! Urgh, I hate stairs, I hate stairs, I hate stairs…
"Kagome! Slow down!" I shouted as I saw her disappearing around the corner with a very demonic looking Shippo flapping around behind her. I just decided that going all the way down the stairs was moot point, so I just jumped the rest and ran as fast as I could to catch her.
I managed to catch up to her after a few seconds, but damn! She's fast! "Kagome! What's wrong? I've never seen you run that fast. Heck, I didn't even know you could run that fast."
Kagome stopped and turned around, her eyes snapping. "I'm going to be late! Now shut up and don't stop me again!" She started running again. Poor little Shippo looked like he couldn't take it anymore. Time for me to come to the rescue.
"Kagome, if you need to get there fast, why don't I just carry you?" I said calmly as I ran alongside her.
She stopped for a second and then nodded. I was surprised, but hey, I'm not about to complain. Just another excuse for me to be close to her! I scooped her into my arms and shot off towards her school. Okay Kouga, keep a low profile. Don't want to cause a scene. Or get captured by freaky 'government' people. Damn, I have to lay off the TV. It's starting to make me even more paranoid than usual.
A few seconds later, seconds that were far to short, we arrived near the gate and I had to put Kagome down. "Thanks Kouga," she said. Then, she kissed me on the cheek, handed me Shippo, and ran into the gate. Wait, just a minute, she kissed me on the cheek, handed me Shippo, and ran into the gate. Okay, nothing unusual… except for the fact that she just kissed me! Well, it was on the cheek, but still! Does this mean she is returning my affections? Happy, happy day! I took Shippo to where we could see Kagome, and I went into some very pleasant thoughts.
"Kouga! How could you desert us like that?" Haggaku asked as he and Ginta reached me. Man, those two really knew how to kill my mood.
"Sorry, I had to get Kagome to school." I told them calmly. I wasn't going to take my slight annoyance out on them. I'll wait until they do something really stupid. I still have nightmares about the fish incident from a few years ago.
I spent the next few hours in a fit of bad memories of all the stupid things my two baka friends had done over the years I had known them. Now that I think about it, they somehow always manage to cause trouble. Well, I don't care, they're my oldest friends and I wouldn't abandon them for anything. Not that I would ever let anyone know that. I've got a reputation to protect.
I peeked over towards the window to stare at Kagome, but what I saw really ticked me off. That stupid Hobo male was talking to Kagome! And more importantly, he was obviously tried to steal her! I'm mean; he just gave her something! I call that thievery! Kagome is my woman! I love her, not you, you stupid mortal! You couldn't even compare to the mutt-face, let alone me! Grr, I can't attack him! Kami damn him! Wait, Kagome's coming outside! I'm going to ask her what the hell is going on!
(Kagome's POV)
I can't believe Hojo gave me another health charm. It's really embarrassing and is starting to get on my nerves. Before, I would have loved all this attention, but now… This, once again, shows how much I've changed. Not to mention I love Kouga… Wait! What am I saying! I don't feel that way about Kouga, right? Grr, I'm so confused! It just isn't fair! Why can't I understand my own feelings!
"Kagome, what was that about!" Kouga shouted as he suddenly appeared at my side. Okay, what was his problem? Wait, did he see Hojo talking to me? Great, that means he'll get possessive again, which means… Urk, now I have to make sure he doesn't get his hands on Hojo or else… Well, I don't want to think about it. Now for damage control…
"Kouga, don't worry. He's still just my friend. Nothing more, all right?" I said as calmly as possible. He took a step closer, what was he thinking about doing? It better not be anything perverted…
"Good, because you're my woman, understand? If he doesn't understand, then I'll deal with him!" Kouga said as he pulled me into a hug. Urg, not again! My heart is pounding! I can't stand this anymore! I want to know why I feel this way!
"Kagome, I forg- Oh, am I interrupting something?" Hojo said as he saw Kouga hugging me. He really sounded hurt. Did that mean he actually thought we were dating or were going to soon? I felt Kouga stiffen and growl as he let go of me to face Hojo. Great, now Kouga is going to fight Hojo… Wait, he'll kill him!
(Kouga's POV)
I was happy to hold my future mate without any problems when that stupid Hobo interrupted. He sounded upset and the hurt he was feeling came off of him in waves. That means he really is in love with my Kagome and thinks she belongs to him! I'll show that bastard!
I reluctantly let go of her as I turned to face that little jackass. He was going to pay! I started to run at him, intending to smash him into little bloody bits, but I was stopped by Kagome's voice before I went two steps.
"Kouga! Leave him alone!" She sounded ticked. Better do as she says. I turned around and went back to her side. I put my arm around her shoulder and glared at the baka who would try to take my Kagome. He just looked utterly shocked at what had happened. Baka, slow human.
(Kagome's POV)
Urg, that stupid wolf! I can't believe him! Starting a fight here! He's acting just like he used to! And here I was thinking he had changed!
"Sorry about him, Hojo. He's a bit overprotective," I told Hojo sheepishly as I grabbed Kouga and dragged him after me. Some of the other kids were staring at us, but a quick glare took care of them. Thank kami for minimum days at the end of the school week! Otherwise I would have to deal with them and their questions. I said a curt good bye to my friends at the gate as I continued to drag the baka wolf behind me. We passed what seemed like hundreds of stores as I walked determinedly home. Idiot! Baka! Fool! Why am I cursed with idiot males?
"Kagome. Are you going to let go of me?" Kouga inquired as I dragged him up towards the stairs that led to the house.
"Just shut up!" I yelled. I saw Ginta and Haggaku speed by me up the stairs with Shippo staring at us. I could hear Kouga whimper softly as I started up the stairs. "What's your problem?"
"N-Nothing!" He stuttered. Even an idiot could tell he was lying. He was terrified, but what was bothering him so much?
"Quit lying and tell me! What are you so afraid of?"
"I'm not lying! And I'm not afraid!"
"You are such a liar! Now tell me before I make you run up and down these stairs until you tell me the truth!"
He paled and started to shake. "I, I-"
"Stop stuttering and tell me!"
"I don't like stairs all right!" He shouted and then sat there panting, daring me to say anything.
"Oh, that's all?" Kouga looked like he was going to explode right then and there, but he took a deep breath and calmed himself.
"Look, I had a bad experience with stairs when I was a pup, all right?" He said as he turned and ran up the stairs as fast as he could. Okay, what the hell is wrong with him?
(Kouga's POV)
I plopped myself down on the roof of the well house to fume. Urg, why did she have to make me talk about that? I haven't even told Ginta and Haggaku that, and they are the closest to me since… Well, I don't need to think about that right now. It's in the past, no need to dwell on it anymore. Man, today sucked. Yet another day to say I did absolutely nothing productive on.
I can't wait to go home. I seriously hate this place. Too many humans, damn smelly, evil, conniving, cheating, lying, greedy bastards.
Now I don't hate all humans, look at Kagome, she's an exception though. She's so… different. Sometimes I think she isn't human. After all, she's kind, loving, pure, honest, and totally selfless.
She reminds me of my mother, especially when she is taking care of Shippo. I remember Dad telling me once; that someday I would find a woman who I just knew was the one. Who I loved no matter what, who I just couldn't stay angry with.
Well Dad, I found her. I just can't help but wonder if you ever thought I would fall in love with a human. I also can't help but wonder if you and Mom would have liked her.
What would you have said? Would you have given us your blessing, or would you have told me to never see her again and find myself a proper demon?
Well, I guess I'll never know now. I should stop by your grave when we go back; maybe I should bring Kagome along, you know, to meet you.
Yeah, I'll do that! But I'll just bring Kagome, Ginta, Haggaku, and Shippo can come some other time. Huh, I wonder if it's time for dinner yet?
Wait, the sun's setting! Have I really been out here that long? Shit, I hope they haven't eaten without me!
(Shippo's POV)
"Woo-hoo! Take that! In your face, Souta! I beat you!" I threw down the controller and did a victory dance. I finally beat that stuck up brat!
"Great job Shippo, you picked up that trick really fast," Souta said. I bowed like I had a cheering audience. Man, it felt good to win!
"Dinner!" Kagome's mother called out. Yes! The perfect end to the perfect victory! I hope we're having something that would be appropriate to my victory feast.
I bounded happily down the stairs and hopped up to my seat. I folded my arms over my chest and looked around smugly. I won!
"Hey Shippo, you seem happy. What happened?" Kagome wasked as she sat down, smiling at me.
"I beat Souta at that video game!" I declared proudly for my mother.
"Great job Shippo! I'm sure it wasn't easy!" She said, smiling gently at me. I swelled with pride.
"Yup! It was difficult, but no one can defeat me!" I told her.
"Don't let it go to your head Shippo, you won't defeat me again!" Souta said.
"What's the kid going on about?" Ginta asked as he plopped down, Haggaku sitting down not long after him.
"Shippo beat Souta at this video game." Kagome told him.
Mrs. Higurashi set down the food, a proper feast for my victory of course, just as Kouga burst in. "I'm not late, right?" He asked as Kagome's grandfather glared at him.
"No, you're just on time. Sit down and eat," Kagome's mother said as she sat down herself. Kouga sighed and plopped down before commencing to inhale his food as per usual. He has such bad manners, honestly. Some days he's worse than Inuyasha. Or maybe it's just a wolf thing. I mean look at those two pigs calling themselves wolves. I've seen pigs with better manners.
The rest of my feast went quietly, if a bit messily thanks to those who were raised in a barn. Well, they were raised in a cave. I wonder which is worse?
"Shippo! I challenge you to another game!" Souta shouted as soon as he finished his meal. What gall he has! I shall show him!
"I accept! I shall show you fool!" I shouted back as I ran up the stairs with Souta at my heels. I shall repeat my victory many times until I am forced to leave for my homeland with the spoils of victory.
AN: Ookami is seen fighting against a sea of fluff, gets swept away
Vincent: I hope you're happy Kiochi, it's going to be awhile before she gets back. Now we have to do the an and the review responses. Thank goodness she wrote down what she wanted to say.
Kiochi: Aw, shut up. I got my fluff so I'm satisfied. Well, I wish I could have gotten her to write more, but you know how she is. Happy day!
Vincent: You realize that means she will not only not let you help on the next chapter, but that she will make it violent and angsty and non-Kouga and Kagome's relationship focused?
Kiochi: Dammit. Well, technically that won't be the next chapter, just the second half of this.
Vincent: Yeah, I know! I was the one who told her to spilt this up so she could post sooner! Well, to anyone reading this who has no idea what the hell we are going on about, it just has to do with the writing of this chapter. Originally, it was going to be this huge chapter that would have been somewhere over 8,000 words, but she decided it was taking too long, so I told her to stop here and just post it. Thank goodness too, this was taking forever.
Kiochi: Yup, she had writer's block. This only got posted because I did half of it.
Vincent: Writer's block sucks, and it doesn't help when English teachers give you piles of homework. Honestly. And now they expect her to read A Tale of Two Cities? This has to be some sort of crime. That is one of the most boring books in the history of the world. Wasn't she putting off reading that to type this?
Kiochi: Yup, weird thing is she normally likes reading.
Vincent: Well, that book is hell to get through.
Kiochi: How would you know?
Vincent: She's making me read it to help her understand what's going on.
Kiochi: Ha! This just shows she likes me more than you!
Vincent: Why you little bastard! Come back here so I can kick your scrawny shapeshifter ass! chases after Kiochi
Kiochi: Shit! Leave me alone! >runs like hell
Vincent: Never you stuck up bastard! Now get back here you coward!
Kiochi: Never!
Vincent: You're just making it worse for yourself!
Kiochi: I'm outta here! doesn't look where he's going and smashes into pole, knocking himself out
Vincent: Hahahaha! Idiot! runs into another pole, seems to be unconscious Damn. now is officially unconscious

JennyTheWhiteWolf: Rocking name! I love wolves too! I mean, who couldn't? They're just so cute! Wolves are the best animals ever. It's so sad that people keep killing them. I fell in love with them when I was in girl scouts. The animal one-year was a wolf and my mom bought me a book about them and a tape with howling wolves on it. I would sit and listen to it for hours, imagining running through a forest and staring at the stars with a pack of beautiful wolves. Such good memories, all attached to my favorite creatures. Here's a box of cookies and a wolf plushie! From one wolf fan to another!
