Concrete Angel

Chapter One: Dark Side of 'Love'

Something was wrong. She knew it. She stealthily slid her hand down to take out the dagger form it hidden holder on her thigh. She wrapped her long fingers around the cool silver handle. Without letting anyone know she was awake she waited and listened for some sign of her capture.

It was about five minutes till footsteps could be heard making their way over to her. She held the dragger tighter, waiting for the right moment.

'Almost.... almost.... a little closer. Right...now!' she thought a she grabbed the person's ankle, flipped them over, straddled their waste and held the dagger to their throat while keeping one hand pinned under her knee and the other with her hand. It took a moment to realize that the person she was straddling was...

"Kouga?" she said in surprise.

"Morning...Kagome." He struggled to get out. She quickly and gracefully got off him and slipped her dagger in it holder. "Glad to see you up. How is your wound?"

She looked at her injured arm and shrugged. "Okay, I've had worst." Kouga looked at her for a moment before gathering her in his arms. He missed her so much he just had to hold her once more. Kagome was a little taken back at first but gladly returned the friendly gesture. He reluctantly let her go and stared at her.

'I didn't even realize it before but...she changed a lot.' He thought, as he looked her over. Her raven black became a little straighter and was down her bottom, her once gray eyes that were of life were emotionless pools, and her lips were a deep silky blood red, begging him to kiss them. Her more mature body was well toned, having the right amount of muscle and curves. He also noticed that she had several scars. He traced on of them from the hem of her leather pants to the bottom of her leather top. Kouga, being the guy he is, let his eyes wonder to her plump chest.

"I'm up here." she said interrupting his not so innocent thoughts.

"Oh, sorry." He heard her mumble something that sounded like 'Men are such pervs.' He smirked. Could he help it that he was a guy? Kagome sat back so she was leaning on her hands behind her back and sighed with her eyes closed.

"Kagome," he asked seriously. "Why did you leave?" Her eyes shot open and he swore he saw a red tint in them for a moment. "I know dog shit had something to do with it."

Kagome looked him straight in the eye. "I found out what love is." Inside Kouga something cracked. He looked down at the ground. She found someone else? She has a mate? "I found out that there is no such thing as love. There never was or will be a thing called love. It doesn't exsist."

"How can you say that?" Kouga couldn't believe the words that were coming out of her mouth. This was Kagome! The only person he knew that could find good in any one and loved everyone!

"I thought love was real, once. Everyone says that it is the magical thing that makes your heart soar and you feel as though you could fly, but how could something that suppose to bring joy bring so much pain? I should have learned that from my mother, but I didn't pay attention. My father left my mother for someone else shortly after my brother was born. I should have learned right then and there that love was just in fairy tales cause it broke all our hearts."

"But what does-"

Kagome sighed. "It brings InuYasha into this because I thought I loved him. I found him and Kikyou together. He was hugging her, from where I was he was facing me, and he looked right into my eyes and told her that he loved her more then anything. It was like a slap in the face. I ran through the forest and when I stopped to catch my breath I realized that I what I felt wasn't love. That InuYasha didn't love Kikyou and Kikyou didn't love InuYasha. We all just used each other for something. Then I thought about other people's relationships that I saw. Everyone will just use someone for something. Miroku, if he ever gets the nerve to marry Sango, will really only use her to get an heir and Sango will use him so she wont be alone. InuYasha will only go with Kikyou cause he doesn't want to feel guilty, not because he really cares for her, and Kikyou will only want to be with him so he can defeat Naraku for her. See Kouga, there is no such thing as love."

"You're wrong Kagome." Kouga countered. "I love you." A hallow and emotionless laugh came bubbled in Kagome's throat. "You don't love me Kouga. You only wanted me as your mate so you can get more jewel shards. You just tricked yourself into believing that."

"That's not true! How can you say or believe that?"

"Like this: 'I don't believe in love.'"

Kouga got up and stared down at her. "I'll let you get some rest, I'm sure you are tired." Kagome nodded. She really wasn't tired, but she did want some time to herself. She watched his retreating back.

'I'm so sorry.' She thought sadly as she watched him disappear behind the curtain like door.

Kagome looks angrily over at our favorite hanyou: SEE WHAT YOU DID? I CAN'T EVEN LOVE THANKS TO YOU!

Kouga: Stupid dog shit!

Kikyou: Don't you be calling my honey-bunny stupid!

Everyone sweat drops

Me: 'Honey-bunny'?
