18. Bite Me
Koga helped Souta prepare for school, since his school only had to spend one last day until vacation. While Koga was walking Souta to school, the black haired boy talked about various stuff such as games, school, and other things that came to his mind.
When the two finally reached Souta's school, Koga promised to pick Souta up after school hours. Koga waved goodbye and was on his way home...home? His home was five hundred years in the past. How was he home? He was with Kagome. That is how he was home. He was with someone he trusted and loved. Someone who could care for him and respect him. Home.
Koga, when he finally arrived at 'home', flopped onto Kagome's bed.
"Hey Koga." Kagome turned and smiled at Koga from her desk.
"Heya." Koga rolled over onto his back and stared up at the ceiling.
"You alright?" Kagome had a concerned look on her face.
"Hmm? Yeah...I'm fine." Koga closed his eyes to rest.
Kagome smiled again and turned to continue writing in her journal.
When it ws time to pick up Souta, Kagome had to shake Koga awake from sleeping. He didn't mind that at all. He was glad to be able to pick up his 'little brother.'
While walking to the school, Ginta and Hakakku entered Koga's mind once again. 'Ginta...Hakakku...' He stared up into the sky.
The school was up ahead now. As Koga neared it, he heard some talking. Eavesdropping was somthing he does best.
"Why didn't you hand it over! Give it back!" Came a rough voice. Koga heard a fwump.
"But I told you...I don't have it." Souta's voice came in a slow, painful way. Another fwump was heard. Koga peeked around the corner angrily only to find three boys and Souta lying on the ground, arms wrapped around his pained abdome.
"Give it! Now, or else!" Another boy said.
"Hey!" Koga couldn't take it anymore. He walked up to the boys, a soul peircing expression on his face. "What in the HELL are you doing!?" He began to growl. "I'll have all you three crying home if you don't get LOST!"
Of course, the bullies were struck with fear. "W-we can take you!"
"Hmph." Koga spat on the ground "Bite me!"
Two of the boys ran off, soon to be followed by the third.
Koga hurried to Souta's side. "Are you all right?"
Souta was now sitting up. "Yeah...I'm fine."
"You stomsch okay?" Koga helped Souta to his feet.
"Yup. Don't worry about me." Souta picked up his backpack, which was lying a few feet away from him.
"Now who put you in charge?" Koga asked.
"Huh...I just..." Souta looked to the ground.
Koga patted Souta's head. "It's alright don't worry about it. Just exactly what did thos idiots want?"
