Chapter Four
Kouga leaned on his locker, arms crossed over his chest. He was waiting for
Kagome to come out of the class; she had to pick up some missed assignments. He
decided that asking her out would be fun, for more than one reason. He watched as
the black haired beauty exited the classroom before making his move. He hid behind
Kagome's locker door, trying to startle her when she closed it. It didn't work;
Kagome closed the locker door and simply smiled at him.
"Hey…?" She asked, unsure.
"You doing anything tonight?" Kouga asked, getting straight to the point.
"Uh…" Kagome bit her lip trying to remember her slaying schedule. "No, why?" She
finally replied.
"Wanna go somewhere?" He asked, still trying to look extremely cool and calm. Out
of the corner of her eye, Kagome spotted Inuyasha, looking at them with his arm
around Kikyou. Jealousy burned inside her. "Sure, why not?" She answered. Hey, if
Inuyasha could go out with the people he pleased, why couldn't she?
"Great, 9:00 sound good?" Kouga said.
"Sure. Do you know where I live though?" Kouga thought about it. The look on his
face clearly read no.
"Riverside, that old house." To the human eye, the mansion wasn't more than a
large house. People at school knew Kagome's parents had passed away, so they
figured the relatives lived with her to keep her company, and therefore all the room
they could get was needed. Naturally, Kouga didn't suspect a thing.
"Oh yeah. Got it."
"See you then," Kagome said before hoisting her backpack onto her shoulders and
walking away. She walked passed her friends on her way out, saying bye to each of
them. Inuyasha said bye as calmly as he could, but Kagome had known Inuyasha for
years, and she could tell he was envious, though she had no clue why.
7 hours later, Kouga and Kagome's date had pretty much finished. Not to say
it wasn't fun, both of them were now looking for a way to prolong the date a bit
more. Kagome finally thought of something. She grabbed Kouga's hand and pulled
him after her, she had a sweet smile on her face.
"Come with me." She said. That was all it took. Kouga obeyed like a little puppy.
They half ran half walked through a forest, and when they reached the end, their lied
the most beautiful beach Kouga had ever seen. The glow of the stars alight in the
midnight sky was reflected in the sea, making it sparkle and shine and the waves
were moving slowly and rhythmically. Kouga and Kagome stopped and sat close
together on the sand, taking in its beauty.
"I used to come here with my family, when I was younger…" Kagome's voice trailed
off. Kouga didn't push the subject.
"It's beautiful," he said instead.
"It is. I guess I kind of forgot about it." She replied. Kagome looked at Kouga, who
was looking a bit mesmerized, looking out onto the sea. She realized how little she
knew about her date. 'What's wrong with you?' Kagome thought to herself. 'You
rarely go out at all, and when you do, all you know is the guy's name?'
"So what's your story." She said, picking up a nearby shell and brushing the sand off
it.
"What do you mean?" Kouga said, turning towards her.
"Well you never talk about yourself. Do you have family around here?" She said.
"Sort of. My father passed away when I was young, he died in a hunting accident…"
Kouga smirked, 'Yeah, more like he was murdered by those damn slayers….but I'd
like to see the look on her face if I told her that.' "…I live with my mother and her
family now. What about you?" He replied.
"Oh…I see…that's sort of how it is with me…except both of my parents died when I
was younger. They died in…hunting accidents too. 'Sure, more like they were
murdered by those demons.' Kagome thought bitterly. "…I live with my
grandmother. " Kagome said.
"There's so much fighting that goes on in my house…I just wish, sometimes, that I
could stop the conflict." Kouga said, his voice drifting off into the distance."
"Conflict?" Kagome echoed.
"Pah, some stupid fight between my family and this other one so old no one
remembers how it started anymore." He said gruffly.
"Sounds like my problem. Family feuds and what not. " Kagome said.
'Wow, we have more in common than I thought.' Kagome thought, slightly shocked
at this.
"I'd stop it if I had the chance too…" She murmured.
They sat there, letting the rhythmic sound of the tides coming in sooth their senses.
Half an hour later, Kouga was standing on Kagome's doorstep, getting ready to
leave.
"I had fun, thanks, Kouga." Kagome said smiling sweetly. The smile made Kouga
grin with pride.
"My pleasure, we should do it again some time." He said. Before Kagome knew what
was happening, they were kissing. The kiss sent tingles throughout Kagome's body,
making her shiver. She kissed him back subconsciously, waves of pleasure rolling off
in her scent. Kouga too, was getting the strange vibes, very pleasurable vibes.
Later on Kagome was lying in bed still grinning, touching her kiss-swollen lips. Sure,
she'd been kissed before, but nothing compared to the one she'd just shared. She
scolded herself for being so dramatic, but still smiling, she rolled over and fell asleep.
