Chapter 1: There's A New Boy In Town
Koga sat back to relax in the summer breeze. He held up the small bow that Kagome had given to him. He opened it and took the picture out. It was a picture of Kagome and her little kid brother...who was it...oh yeah, Souta. 'I wonder what he's like. They look so happy in that picture.' Koga put the picture back in its box. 'Where does Kagome live anyway?' Koga stared up into the saphire colored sky pondering. What about that well. The well Inuyasha is always waiting by. 'Yeah. That's it the well.' Koga stood to his feet. "Ginta. Hakkaku. I'm going for a walk."
Ginta and Hakkaku both poked there heads out from behind the waterfall. "Where are you going boss?"
"Just going for a walk I say." Koga began to head in the direction of the well.
"Okay." Ginta and Hakkaku looked a bit confused but bidded their farewells by calling out after Koga.
Koga finally made it to the forest in which the well was located. 'It would have been easier if I still had my sacred jewel shards.' He peeked around a tree and spotted the well.He tiptoed out into the open to find that there was no one in sight. He sniffed the air.No scent except for flowers andtiny forest critters. 'Well,if this is how she get's from there to here.' Koga jumped into the well. He hit the bottom. Nothing. He jumped up and down. Still nothing. He began to poke and pick at the soil. Nothin. 'Heh. I won't be surprised that if I dig deep enough a huge gyser of water shoots up and blasts me to the ends of the earth.' He stood up and scratched his head. 'How to get through...how to get through.' Finally, he got an idea. Koga kneeled down. Putting both his hands on the ground. 'Okay. Here's the deal. If you let me through I promise I won't do those farting noises using my armpit and hand to make water squirt out of Ginta and Hakkaku's noses.' Silence. 'Oh come on! You're not being fair!' He thought again. 'How's this? I promise that I won't hurt any people on the other side that Kagome trusts.' Suddenly a purple light shot up from the earth beneath him. Blackness.
Koga opened his eyes. There was a new scent in the air. People. Lots of people. He stood to his feet. "Where amI?" He asked himself. He looked about. Still in the well. Koga climbed up the wall and poked his head out of the well. Where was he? Pulling himself out, Koga heard a small meow. His nose twitched. A...cat? He felt something rub against his leg. "What the?"
Buyo looked up at Koga inocently. "Meow." Hunger was in the cats eyes.
"Oh great," Koga mumbled under his breath. "All right now...go on. Go on." He waved his hands back and orth trying to get the chuby cat to leave.
"Meow?"
"Okay, I don't speak kitty-cat." Kogapicked up the cat.
"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...." Buyoclawed Koga's hand.
"Yeeeeoooow!" Koga flung the cat across the room, luckily it landed on its feet unharmed. Koga sipped up thetiny drops of blood on his hand. "Darn cat!" A scent caught his nose. Not just any scent. A special scent. "Kagome's scent."
"Meow?" Buyo went back up to Koga.
"You must be Kagome's cat, eh." He kneeled down and stroked the cats head. The cat began to pur.
He decided to leave the cat to itself and follow Kagome's scent. He walked out of the tiny shrine. He saw a strange looking house in front of him. Not only that. There was also a window wide open. 'That's where her scent is coming from.' Koga jumped up onto the rim of the window. He found himself starring at a small boy with black hair and brown eyes. 'He looks like Kagome little brother,' Koga thought to himself.
"Uh...Inuyasha?" Souta looked at the wolf-demon.
"Wha? Me Inutrasha!? I think not. What makes you think such a thing?" Koga jumped into the room. "Now, where's Kagome?"
"Why?" Souta looked at the strange man suspiciously. "Who are you anyway? Another demon from the fuedal era?"
"Yeah...sure. Now...where is Kagome?" Koga began to get annoyed.
"She's at school right now. But you can stay until she comes back...if Grandpa doesn't mind."
"Grandpa?"
"Hey everybody! I'm home!" Came Kagomes voice.
"Ahah!" Koga was about to call for Kagome when he heard other voices.
"Welcome home Kagome."
"Thanks Mom. Hi there Gramps."
"Oh, hello Kagome. How was your day at school."
"The normal. I'm going to go put my stuff away now." Kagome's steps were heard coming up the stairs. "Hey, Suta where are you?"
"In here sis! And look who's here." Souta called.
"Is it Inuyasha?" She paused whn she saw Koga standing next to her brother.
"I thought I smelled your scent Kagome. As beautiful as always." Koga went up to Kagome.
"Koga? How did you get here?" Kagome looked around the room as if something was lost.
"Beats me. I guess I got here by that well." Koga scratched his head again.
"Souta." Kagome turned to her little brother. "How was your test?"
"Uh...uh...what test? Heh, heh. Oh...my...my shows starting. Gotta run!" Soua ran out of the room.
"Souta! Don't tell me you didn't study again!" Kagome called after him. She turned back to Koga. "Tell me everything."
And so, Koga explained. "Now I'm here just inishing up telling you about...well...you know."
"Yeah." Kagome smiled. "It seems that the only way you can get back is if you promise somthing to the well that you can and will keep."
"So, that means I can still make those farting noises. He demonstrated a few.
Kagome couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, okay. I'm dying of laughter over here!"
"What!" Koga ran to Kagome's side. "Are you all right?"
Kagome could see that he really thought that she was dying. She laughed again. "I'm sorry, Koga. It's just an...an idiom to express ones feelings."
"Wha?" Koga was now the one looking confused.
"Kagome! Food's ready! And you can bring your new friend down if you want."
"Huh? Okay Mom! Give me a minute!" Kagome called back to here mother. "Do you want to eat with us, Koga? You can get to know my family."
"That would be great." Koga said with a smile.
