5. Thinking of You Two
Koga sat on Kagome's bed staring into nothing. Ginta and Hakkaku were caught in his mind. They were brothers to him. They always were. They always will be. He wanted to take a walk. A walk in Kagome's world. But...he wanted to go alone. Koga stood. He looked down at what he was wearing. 'I think I better wear the type of clothes people wear in this time.' He walked down the stairs in search of Kagome. She was sitting with her mother at the kitchen table knitting a quilt.
"Kagome." He walked by the table and over to the sink window. "Can I go for a walk?"
Kagome looked back at Koga. "Sure. Will you be okay in my time?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine." He flexed in front of the two women. They both giggled.
"Do you want a different pair of clothing?" Mrs. Higurashi stood.
"Uh, sure." Koga followed Kagome's mother out of the house. "Kagome watch Souta and Grandpa while we're gone."
"Okay Mom. You can count on me." Kagome also stood and exited the kitchen.
Mrs. Higurashi took Koga to a clothing department. A fancy one at that. There were many sorts of clothing that Koga had never seen before.
"Well, pick out what you want." Mrs. Higurashi smiled at Koga.
"You sure?" Koga looked guilty.
"Yes, yes. It's fine with me. And don't look so guilty." Mrs. Higurashi smiled again.
"Okay. Thank you." Koga went to look around. He took the most interest in the so called "Bad Boy" clothing. He tried on a whit T-shirt with a jean vest. He wore loose jeans that had to be held up by a belt that had two rows of metal circles all the way around. Two black leather finger gloves is what he wore on his hands. Lastly, he wore to black leather boots. He was satisfied and happy. 'My own clothes for Kagome's time,' he thought proudly tohimself while looking in a mirror. 'I wonder what Ginta and Hakkaku are up to.'
When thet returned home, Koga embraced Mrs. Higurashi. "Thank you. Thank you for everything," is what he whispered into her ear.
Mrs. Higurashi returned the hug. "Anytime."
"Wow! He looks awesome!" Souta ran up to Koga's side and eyeballed him.
"You do look nice Koga." Kagome smiled.
Kagome's grandfather just looked up and mumbled to himself while looking down at the newspaper he was reading.
"Well, I'll be on my way. Thanks again." Koga walked out the door. Everyone waved him goodbye, except for the old man who was still reading the newspaper.
Koga walked by a lot of strange places. He decided that they were Kagome's time's shops. There were many clothes stores. Here and there were some antique shops. He walked passed many people. He even stopped to look at a girl and boy sitting close together talking andholding hands. He decided to sit down himself. Koga sat by a pond where children were playing and feeding ducks. He didn't sit on a bench or chair, he just sat on the ground. He watched two boys wrestling which reminded him of Ginta and Hakkaku fooling around. At this time Koga regreted all those times he had yelled at him. They always looked up to him, not only as a leader, but as a brother. Oh, how he missed them so. Koga layed back and looked up at the clouds, just like Ginta and Hakkaku would. Staring at the clouds and making out what they kind of looked like. Koga would always lay next to them, just listening to their voices. He remembered the time when Ginta and Hakkau scared themselves while telling eachother ghost stories. They asked if they could sleep with Koga that night because they were so scared.
"If only I was with you two." Koga closed his eyes.
After napping, Koga went back to the house. He opened the door and when he was about to announce that he was back, he found himself face to face with Inuyasha.
