So Little They Know
Chapter 8
Panty Tails
It took Kagome, Shippo, Kouga and Inu-Yasha a good hour and a half to get back to her home, and this time it wasn't because of the two canine demons fighting either. Nor was it Shippo's fault when he begged Kagome to go into the candy store. Nope, not at all. The single reason was rather simple, Kouga couldn't stop wiggling around. It was as if a small creature was running around in his pants.
"Kouga? Are you okay?" Kagome asked in her most sincere and caring voice; you know, the one reserved mainly for Shippo.
Kouga mumbled an almost inaudible 'no', before going back to his wiggling. Kagome continued to stare at him, concern written all over his face. Inu-Yasha however, wasn't so kind or sympathetic. Big surprise. Once again, he was glaring daggers into Kouga. Who did he think he was! Stupid wolf was probably just antsing around to get Kagome's attention, and Kagome (being the weak human that she was born as…Feh! Stupid human!) was eating it up!
"I don't believe you Kouga," leaning over, she pulled him down to her level. Her soft lips accidentally brushed against his ear. The simple gesture sent electric shivers down his spin and grin to his lips. She softly whispered, "You can tell me what's wrong," Kouga's eyes went wide with realization. KAGOME HAD ROMANTIC FEELINGS FOR HIM!! AT LAST!! But first things first, he bent down and whispered something to Kagome. His arm snaked around her waist to pull her even closer so that dog turd couldn't hear his embarrassment.
"My tail doesn't fit in these strange leg coverings, it's starting to hurt," Kagome's mouth formed a small 'oh' as the news began to sink in. How did you fix that? She looked to Inu-Yasha. His eyes were narrowed and his ears were set flat against his head. Once again, he didn't like what he was seeing. Who did they think they were kissing on one another like that! IN BROAD DAY LIGHT! It was as if Kagome was under some type of enchantment or other. Yes! That was it! Kouga was enchanting her and it was up to him to break the spell. A mischievous grin lit up his face. He would finally get the beat the shit out of the weakling wolf and have him on his knees wanting for mercy!
"Inu-Yasha?" Shippo's voice broke through is reverie and hurtled him painfully to reality. "What is it you damn runt!" Shippo disregarded the crude remark and asked, "You look like all the noise is getting to you. Here are some ear-plugs," Inu-Yasha outstretched his hand to handle the weird contraptions, the little string dangling off of them whipped back and forth. He sniffed it carefully, it's artificial sent wafted into his nasal passage. He simply shrugged and put them into his ears. Hey! They worked pretty well!
"What is it?" he barked at Kagome. Her face had turned a bright red. Why was he wearing tampon's in his ear for!? She turned around quickly and made rushed home, not wanting to be seen with a strange boy who had feminine products in his ears.
"Thanks a lot dog face! She was just about to open up to me when you just had to put those damn ear plugs in!"
"What?!"
"Forget it," Kouga muttered before stalking off, leaving Inu-Yasha and Shippo to walk behind him. He would just have to have the tail thing wait till later. Damn dog!
Next Chapter: Kouga and Kagome get some quality time together with the magic talking box!
Preview: "Kagome why are there little people in there?" Kouga asked. Shippo leapt up in a fit of rage and roared out loud, "WE MUST SAVE THEM!!" before mauling the television set with his feeble fangs.
