6. Betrayal

Koga stared into those golden eyes. He didn't know what to say to Inuyasha, the man that is in love with the woman he's in love with. Koga just stood there. He didn't want to say anything because the wrong words might come out. Those very words may hurt Kagome. So, without a word, Koga just stood.

"Wh is he here?" Inuyasha began to growl under his breath.

Kagome didn't know what to do. Everyone in her family since the night before thought that Inuyasha and Koga were both friends. Good friends.

Koga flung his arm around Inuyasha's shoulders. "Hey there. What's up pal?" He had no idea of what he just said.

"Get off me!" Inuyasha tried to push Koga away.

"Shut it dog-turd! We don't want to harm Kagome's feelings," Koga whispered desprately into the dog-demon's ear.

"Huh?" Inuyasha stopped what he was doing. "What's going on?"

Koga finally let go of Inuyasha. Kagome let out a sigh of relief.

"So, Inuyasha, what brings you to the Higurashi house hold?" Koga stood up straight and folded his arms over his chest.

"Uh...I just want to talk to Kagome." Inuyasha replied, grabbing Kagome's hand. He pulled her up the stairs.

"Okay." Koga rubbed his head. He was lift in the kitchen with Gramps, Souta, and Mrs. Higurashi. They stood staring at eachother quietly. Waiting.

"So...Koga...I see you still have your trusty bandanna and pony-tail...hair thingie." Souta coughed.

"Hmm. Oh yeah." Koga didn't show any intrest in the modern day bandanna, so he stuck with his. The 'pony-tails' didn't appeal to him either.

"Ahem. What about that tail of yours, lad?" Kagome's grandfather pointed at the fluffy tail that poked out a hole in the back of the jeans.

"Mrs. Higurashi made it so my tail looked like it was attached to the belt." Koga answered.

"Very clever, Mom." Souta said with a half smile.

"Thank you dear." Mrs. Higurashi smiled.

They waited.

Suddenly a scream of half terror and half anger came tearing down the stairs. "What!?"

Koga ran to the stairs. "Kago..." Before he could finish what he was saying, Kagome fell into his arms crying. "Kagome. What is it?"

"I-Inuyasha. H-he..." It was hard for her to speak. Koga could tell that she was heart broken. "H-he..." She tried again.

"It's all right Kagome. Relax." Koga stroked Kagome's head. "Where is Inuyasha?"

Kagome took a deep breath. "G-gone. Forever." She burried her face in Koga's chest. "He's with Kikyo now. He...He said that he's going w-with her...t-to Hell."

"Inuyasha would never leave you Kagome. You and I both know that." Koga's heart was burning with pain. He didn't like to see Kagome cry. "I know this because he told me himself."

"Koga! I will never leve Kagome! So you stay out of our way! She love's me! Not you!" Inuyasha yelled at Koga, who was just coming to say hello to Kagome. "Anyway, Kagome isn't here at this time!"

"Well..." Koga stammerd. "Well...then...you better take care of her! And don't hurt her! Don't make her cry!"

"I can do that better than you can, flea-bag!"

"Mutt-face!"

"He won't leave you Kagome. Give him some time to think this over." Koga held Kagome closer. "He'll come back. He will never leave you. Never."

Never...

Just as Koga would never leave Ginta and Hakkaku...

Never.
