Chapter Nineteen: Bonds, Ice Cream, and B-movies

Kagome smacked her knee on the underside of the table as Inuyasha's bellow rang through the kitchen. Kurt Jumped as well, and almost choked on the banana he'd been eating.

"What the heck was that?!" Kagome looked at Kurt, trying not to laugh at his startled expression and the banana that hung comically out of his mouth.

Kurt shrugged and stood up, following Kagome as she raced outside.

She bumped into one of the new students on her way to the sounds of carnage coming from the back yard, turning to apologize, the girl just grabbed her arm and drug her along.

Once there, she turned to the girl next to her as Kurt ported onto the scene, Hostess cupcakes and a sausage clutched in his hands.

"What's going on?"

The girl in the yellow trench coat shrugged. "That dog-eared guy is fighting with the new professor."

Kagome turned back to the battle with a growl. "Oh is he now"

Kurt was busy chewing on his sausage.

Kagome took a deep breath. "SSSSSIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!"

KABOOM!!

As the dust started to clear, Kagome stomped up to the Inuyasha shaped crater.

"What's goin' on?" A sleepy voice asked from the glass door, leading into the mudroom.

Kagome froze, then turned slowly around. "MY BABY!!"

Shippo choked as he was suddenly enveloped in a very strong hug.

"Oh, I missed you so much!" Kagome cried as she continued to squeeze him.

Kurt tapped her on the shoulder. "Ah, liebling.I don't think he can breath."

Kagome blinked at Shippo's blue coloring. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" She loosened her hug, and patted his tail in apology.

Shippo took a deep breath. "It's ok. I didn't know you'd miss me so much, I was only napping for a couple a hours."

Kagome sweat-dropped. 'Oh that's right. We may have been gone for several months, but here, it was only a few minutes. Stupid time paradox's.'

Shippo stared up at Kurt. "So what's goin' on?"

Kurt gestured at the hole in the ground where Inuyasha could be heard complaining vehemently. "It seems zat Inuyasha is, not fond, of the new Professor."

Shippo's eyes narrowed at the good looking male, the guy looked about twenty-five. He had short black hair and blue eyes. Shippo sniffed at the air. "He smells like the wolf."

Rogue came stomping over and stood next to Kagome. "He said his names Dr. Ookami."

Kagome turned to Shippo. "There, you see. He's can't possibly be Kouga, Rogue says so."

Shippo crossed his arms. "I know what I smell! Go ahead, use your Miko powers and you'll see Momma."

Kagome sighed and decided to humor the kit. Closing her eyes and concentrating on her surroundings. 'There's Shippo's green aura, and Kirara's red, and Inuyasha's gold, and..Wait a minute!'

She whipped around, sending her hair flying. "KOUGA-KUN!!"

The man winced, then smiled charmingly at her. "Ah, hello Kagome-chan" He waved nervously.

By this time, Inuyasha had managed to pull himself out of his hole. "You fucking wolf! I asked you a question! Why the hell are you here?!"

"Because I asked him to come." A calm voice said.

The group turned to see Hank McCoy knuckling his way across the lawn in their direction.

Inuyasha crossed his arms, but didn't look away from Kouga.

Kouga just kept smirking at him.

Dr. McCoy stopped and smiled at the group. "I need to speak with you three." He pointed at Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kurt. "In private. Please meet me down in the lab. Dr. Ookami, if you would." He looked at his friend.

Kouga nodded, and walked off into the mansion.

Inuyasha grumbled and gripped, but stomped off into the house anyway, Kagome handed Shippo to Rogue and followed Inuyasha, Kurt at her side.

+++++++++++++++++++

"Well, now that we're all here, I'll tell you why I've asked you to come." Hank sat down and folded his hands. Looking at the group before him.

Kurt and Kagome sat on his small couch. Inuyasha leaned against the door and glared at Kouga, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

"Yes, well, as you know, Kagome's abilities have grown far too quickly for her to safely control. I have no experience in this area, aside from what I've leaned recently, so I decided to call in a colleague of mine." He gestured at Kouga. "Dr. Ookami specializes in ancient legends, myths and powerssuch as the Miko abilities young Kagome possesses, and Demons, like Inuyasha."

Inuyasha growled. "Of course he'd know about those..he's a fucking demon himself!!"

Dr. McCoy looked at the two of them. "I take it you two know each other."

Kouga pushed away from the wall. "You could say that. I met Inuyasha about Five hundred years agoDoesn't look like he's matured any in all this time."

Inuyasha snarled.

"Five hundred years? But, how is that possible?" Hank questioned.

Kouga turned to look at his friend. "It's a rather long story that I promise to tell you laterthe short of it is that demons as essentially immortal to all except a fatal wound."

"Fascinating." Hank mummered.

Inuyasha stepped forward. "So what the hell do you want? Come to claim your 'Woman'?"

Kouga smirked. "I learned that she wasn't mine a long time ago. I'm happily mated now, thank you very much."

Kagome perked up. "Oh, that's wonderful! Who's your mate, anyone we know?"

Kouga's eyes darted around nervously. "Ah, I really can't say right now."

Kagome sighed. "I understand." 'Stupid time travel protocol!'

"You said that Professor Ookami vas here to help Kagome control her powers?" Kurt spoke up.

Kouga turned and smiled at him. "Yes, that's right!" Then he started to pace. "As you know, Kagome has too much power running through her to control this all on her own." He stopped pacing suddenly and turned to face them, grinning. "That means that someone else is going to have to help her."

Inuyasha scoffed. "Who. You?" He glared.

Kouga shook his head. "Nope. What where going to do is form a bond between Kagome's powers and another person. That person would then have a trigger that would.. suppress her powers."

Kagome blinked. "You mean that I'm essentially going to be subduing my self!"

Kouga shrugged. "Well, sort of."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

"SIT!!"

SLAM!!

Kagome crossed her arms and pouted as Inuyasha continued to laugh hysterically.

Kouga sighed and went on. "For the most part, it is your miko powers that are doing the 'subduing' as you put it, but since a miko can't place a spell on herself, your gonna have to give that ability to someone else."

"Oh, oh, pick me! Pick me!"

Kagome glared at Inuyasha, then latched onto Kurt's arm.

"I choose Kurt!" 'I know he'd never abuse the ability, not like Inuyasha. He probably just want's it so he can get me back for all those sits!'

"Was?" Kurt blinked at her in confusion.

Kouga nodded. "That's great."

Kagome cocked her head to the side as a thought struck her. "But how will we form this bond? Humans can't develop bonds, can they?"

Kouga shook his head. "No, that's why your going to need a youkai to act as a sort ofbridge between you two."

"How would we do that?" Kurt asked.

Kouga started pacing. "The bond is fairly easy, you just have to exchange blood with a youkai, the stronger the blood the stronger the bond." He stopped pacing for a second. "There is one problem however."

Hank picked up where Kouga had left off. "We don't know how your miko abilities will react to having youkai blood flowing through your system."

Kagome's mind started to think up many different, and painful, ways that it could react.

Kouga seemed to have read her mind. "We don't think it would hurt you.if you used someone that your spirit knows."

Kagome looked at him in confusion. "What?"

Kouga turned to look at Inuyasha. "If Inuyasha acts as the bridge, your miko abilities might not react at all, since they associate him with protection."

Inuyasha looked down in deep thought. Then over at Kagome. "Would I get to subdue her?"

Kouga chuckled. "We honestly don't know. Nothing like this has ever been done before."

Kagome thought about her recent trip through time. Although she had fun with Robin, she was in no hurry to repeat that experience, and if this could work then.

"Lets do it."

Inuyasha and Kurt both turned to look at her.

"Are you sure Liebes?" Kurt asked.

Kagome grabbed his hand. "If you are."

Kurt smiled and reached up to brush his hand through her hair. "I would do anything at all if it would help you."

She smiled at him and leaned over to plant a short, but sweet kiss on his lips, ignoring the sound of Inuyasha's dramatic gagging.

"Are you all sure?" Hank asked one more time. All three nodded.

"Alright, lets get this show on the road!" Kouga came over and stood before Kurt and Kagome, pulling them to their feet and over to Inuyasha.

"First, stand in a circle. Inuyasha, your going to have to use your claws to cut their hands." Inuyasha seemed a bit freaked at the thought, but nodded. Kouga continued. "Both hands must be cut, then you each grab the hands next to you, creating the linked circle. So it'll go Inuyasha holding Kagome's hand, Kagome holding Kurt's hand, and Kurt holding Inuyasha's hand, got it?" They all nodded. "Keep hold of each others hands until its over, you'll know when that is." Kouga forestalled Kagome's obvious question, then nodded at Inuyasha to proceed.

Inuyasha gulped, then reached over and grabbed Kurt's hands, wincing as he cut into his furred palms, then turned to Kagome and did the same, trying not to whimper at the sight of her ruby blood welling in her palms. Shaking his head, he quickly cut his own hands and grabbed both Kurt and Kagome, feeling the blood squish between their joined hands.

Kagome and Kurt did the same.

Kouga and Hank backed away as the trio began to glow. Their hair lifting up and floating around their heads. The three appeared to be in a trance of some sort.

"What's going on? Is this normal?" Hank asked.

Kouga just shook his head, never taking his eyes off of the group. "I told you that this had never been done before, not between a youkai, a mutant and a miko at least."

The light flared for a minute, then died down. The two doctors thought that it was over at first, that is, before two ropes of light shot out from Kagome. A red one wrapping around Kurt's chest, were his heart would be, and tightening. Hank was concerned for a moment that it would hurt him, but the blissful expression on the boys face nullified his fear. A silver light shot out and wrapped around Inuyasha, like the red had done for Kurt.

The two men watched in wonder as the red light intensified and grew to almost painful proportions. A gold light began weaving around the silver rope attached to Inuyasha, going from him, then back to her. Both flared bright for a minute then blinked out.

Kagome and Kurt immediately collapsed, while Inuyasha staggered but managed keep his balance, although he seemed very disoriented.

Hank helped Inuyasha onto the couch, while Kouga picked up Kurt and Kagome, laying them down on the cot in the corner.

"What happened?" Hank asked while checking over the dog-hanyou.

Kouga was doing the same for his two patients. "Remember our wild card?"

Hank looked up. "You mean Kagome's miko powers?"

Kouga nodded. "Yep, well I think that was it."

"But what did it do?"

Kouga looked back at Hank. "We won't know for a while yet Hank. We just have to watch them carefully for any changes. We'll figure it out in time."

Hank nodded then turned back around as Inuyasha seemed to come out of his daze.

The boy shook his head and glanced around. "Where is she?"

Hank watched him carefully. "Where's who?"

Inuyasha glared up at him. "My Imouto." Not waiting for an answer, the silver haired young man stood up and walked drunkenly over to the cot that Kagome and Kurt were using. Inuyasha sniffed, then woofed.

Kouga blinked as Kagome repeated the sound in her sleep.

Inuyasha smiled and crawled onto the end of the cot, almost as if to protect the two sleeping on it from everyone else.

Then he promptly passed out.

+++++++++++++++++

Kagome pulled on her comfort clothes. Some nice, soft, blue pajamas and her white puppy slippers with the floppy ears that Inuyasha hated with a passion.

As she pulled her slippers on she thought about what had happened earlier. It was strange, but she felt..different now. Whole. Like there had been something missing and she didn't even know it until it was back.

Reviewing the thoughts she just had Kagome came to the conclusion that she was in dire need of Chocolate. Lots of it.

Trudging down the stairs and peeking into the game room she found it empty, which was a rarity in a house full of so many teenagers. Smiling and beginning to feel a little better already, she slipped into the kitchen and opened the freezer, pulling out a carton of 'Triple Chocolate Fudge' ice cream.

After rummaging through the silverware drawer and locating a large spoon, she walked back into the T.V room. Plopping down onto the couch and crossing her legs. Flipping on the T.V she found one of her favorite movies was on, 'The Curse of the Mummies Finger'.

Yes, Kagome's secret passion was cheesy B-movies. The cheesier the better.

Snuggling into the cushions behind her, she scooped up a big spoon-full of chocolate heaven and prepared for some serious self pampering.

"What are you doing wench?"

Kagome gritted her teeth, took a deep breath and deliberately shoved the spoon-full of ice cream into her mouth. Sending a baleful glare in her intruders direction.

"Well?" Inuyasha was perched on the arm of the couch. Arms crossed and glaring at her.

Well, mostly at her. He seemed to be more mad at her slippers, truth be told.

She tried not to giggle at his absurd attitude to her footwear. He acted like they were going to spring to life and bite him if he looked away.

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. "What are you eating."

Kagome glared at him. "Ice cream." She said. Taking another large bite.

Inuyasha licked his lips. "Is it good?"

Kagome made a big show of taking another bite. "It's chocolate."

Inuyasha's ears perked straight up. "I like chocolate!"

"Mmmmhhhhhmmmmm" She kept eating and watching her movie.

Inuyasha inched closer. "Can I try some?"

"No, get your own." Kagome glared at him.

"Please."

'Oh, he's bringing out the big guns.' "No."

"Just a little bite."

"No. go 'way."

Inuyasha leaned back and pouted. "Selfish wench." He muttered.

Kagome turned her full attention on him. "Selfish?! Look who's talking dog-boy!"

"Keh!"

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "You take that back."

Inuyasha smirked at her. "Make me."

She growled. Inuyasha blinked in shock. That was actually a very good growl coming from a human.

"I could so hurt you!"

He scoffed. "How?"

Kagome snorted. "Did you forget about the rosary, stupid?"

He just kept smirking. "Nope. But if you sit me, the only place I have to go is into the couch. I'd probably break it. Then where would you sit?" He smiled widely.

She growled. Then snorted and crossed her arms. "Feh!"

Right after that noise came out of her mouth, it dropped open in shock.

Inuyasha laughed, at both what she'd said and the expression on her face.

She growled at him again. "Shut up."

"Make me!" He laughed.

She brandished her spoon threateningly. "Bring it on, puppy-man!"

He snorted at her. "If your not going to share, then tell me where I can get my own."

She crossed her arms and pouted for a minute, then grudgingly mumbled the location of the secret ice-cream stash. "In the freezer, behind the frozen broccoli."

Inuyasha leapt up and raced into the kitchen. Kagome took another bite of her frozen treat.

Inuyasha came back in a few minutes later, holding a carton of 'Chocolate Death', with chocolate swirls and loaded with little chocolate pieces, triumphantly in the air.

He sat himself down next to Kagome and ripped open his own carton, digging in hungrily.

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "Where's your mate?" He asked around a mouth full of ice-cream.

Kagome snorted. "He got roped into going to the store with Scott." Then she realized just what he'd said. "And he's not my mate!"

Inuyasha huffed at her, sounding suspiciously like a woof. "What about the brat?"

Kagome didn't even look at him. "Shippo is keeping Rogue company tonight. Said he wanted to get to know his aunt better."

Inuyasha blushed faintly at the mention of the gothic beauty.

Trying to take his mind off of, other, things, he turned his attention to the T.V, "What the hell are we watching?"

Kagome smirked at him. "Cheesy B-movies."

Inuyasha turned a confused look on her. "Huh?"

Kagome put a finger up to her lips. "Ssssshhhhhhh, watch the cheesy goodness."

Inuyasha shrugged and turned to watch a female actor scream dramatically, as a finger wrapped in toilet paper inched, in an excruciatingly slow manner, ever closer to where she was standing. Perfectly still.

Inuyasha snorted. 'Stupid humans.'

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kurt sighed as Scott checked his list.

For the tenth time.

Glancing around the super-market in boredom and idly looking at the ridiculous warning labels, he thought about how much he'd rather be at home, snuggled up with Kagome.

'And the monster movie marathon is on tonight too. Damn my inability to say no to a friend in need!'

He sighed in self pity, looking at a warning label for sleeping pills.

"Caution: May cause drowsiness." He snorted. "Oh, yeah, Ja. It's sleeping pills, I'd certainly hope so."

"Kurt! Come on man, I'm done!" Scott yelled from the entrance.

"Finally." Kurt whispered, putting back the medicine he'd been playing with and jogging to where Scott was standing.

Scott smiled and walked out of the automatic doors, Kurt trudging along behind him.

"Thanks for helping me out Kurt, you're a life saver! I had absolutely no idea what to get for Jean's Birthday dinner."

Kurt shrugged. "It's no problem mein freund."

Scott walked over to his red convertible, and began to load the groceries.

Kurt stood by and watched, taking the cart when Scott had everything out and walking it over to return it.

As he was coming back he bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Kurt apologized.

"You should be foreign boy."

Kurt sighed and looked up at the schools biggest jock, and Jean's on-again-off-again boyfriend, Duncan Matthew's.

"I said I vas sorry." Kurt shrugged and tried to walk around him.

"Who said you could go." Duncan grabbed him up by his collar, lifting the shorter boy off his feet.

Kurt's eyes narrowed. "Put me down."

Duncan laughed. "What are you gonna do, huh? Punch me? Is the little wussy foreigner going to beat up the mean old football player?"

Kurt growled.

"What's going on here?"

Duncan didn't even turn. "Stay outta this Summer's, this ain't got nothin' ta do with you."

Two of Duncan's thugs walked over as stood threateningly in front of Scott.

Scott looked like he was debating whether or not he should fight them,

"It's all right mein freund, I can handle this." Kurt waved him down.

Duncan sneered. "Like I said before, what are you gonna do?"

Kurt smirked. "This."

He twisted himself into a virtual human pretzel and wiggled out of Duncan's hold, landing in a crouch against the jocks car.

Duncan snarled. "Why you little" He advanced on the other boy.

Kurt used Duncan's car as a spring board, planning on jumping over him and into Scott's car.

However, that isn't how things worked out.

The force of Kurt's jump actually knocked Duncan's car clean over.

Kurt overshot Scott's car and landed on his butt in shock, gapping at the jocks overturned vehicle. 'How the hell did that happen?!'

"You little freak! Look what you did to my car!!" Duncan screamed. Turning and throwing a punch at Kurt's face.

Kurt blinked as his hand darted up of its own violation, catching Duncan's fist in his own.

Duncan tried to pull his hand back, but couldn't. "Let go of my hand!"

Kurt was too busy pondering over this odd phenomenon. 'Shouldn't all his struggles at least make it a little harder? I hardly even feel it, and he's twice my size!'

Standing up, still holding Duncan's struggling fist in his hand, he stared in curiosity. 'I wonder..'

He lifted his arm and watched in amusement as Duncan went with.hanging comically several inches off the ground .

The sight of a small and scrawny kid, lifting a large, well muscled jock into the air, with one arm and no apparent effort was certainly something new.

Duncan's cronies ran, leaving their fearless leader to his doom.

Kurt shook Duncan a few times, then set him back on his feet.

The jock backed away, clutching his injured hand to his chest. " I'll get you for this freak-boy!" Then he turned and ran away with his tail between his legs.

Scott walked over and stood next to Kurt. "What the heck was that?!"

Kurt shrugged "I don't have a clue."

Scott walked over and got in his car, starting the engine as Kurt hopped into his seat. "Do you think it's some late blooming mutation?" He asked, glancing at Duncan's still overturned car.

Kurt shook his head, looking up at the starry sky as they drove out of the parking lot. "No." He offered no more information on the subject.

As they pulled into the institute Kurt hopped out of the car before it had even fully stopped, pushing through the glass doors in the front and going up the stairs and to the left, to the game room. Don't ask him how, but he knew that that was where he'd find Kagome.

Sure enough, Kagome was curled up on the couch. One slipper dangling precariously on the tip of her foot. Spoon clutched in her left hand in a death grip, and carton of ice-cream cradled in the other.

She was sound asleep.

He chuckled, walking over and prying the spoon from her fingers, then unwrapping the ice-cream from her other arm.

He set them on the coffee table, then turned and covered her in a blanket.

He sat down next to her and looked down as his foot hit something.

Inuyasha was passed out under the coffee table, drooling into the rug. There was an empty Ice-cream carton next to his head, and a spoon sticking out from under his knee. His snow-white ears where twitching around in his sleep.

Kurt smiled again and put his feet up on the table. Logan always got onto them about it, but what he didn't know wouldn't hurt Kurt.

Picking up the discarded Ice-cream, which was really more like ice-cream soup at this point, he looked up at what was on T.V

"Alright! 'Vampire Space Aliens from Mars'! I love this movie!"

And so Kurt settled down to watch some classic entertainment, Kagome sleeping peacefully at his side and Inuyasha snoring away under his feet.

Life was good for the fuzzy dude.
