(A/N: I probably don't need to tell you who's P.O.V it is anymore do I? By now it switches from Inuyasha and Kagome and besides if you can't tell by the context clues then something is seriously wrong with you people)
"Okay Koga'll be here in a second so Inuyasha please try and be nice?"
I really didn't have much to say, few people I know, could read me just like he just did. I mean he was right on the spot and it distressed me greatly...but I soon brushed it off. I had to get ready for my dat-er-thing with Koga tonight. I knew Inuyasha would get extra mad at me for going with him, but I did need his help. He still had two jewel shards in his legs, and if he walks around and gets lost then I could sense, proving that I still had my priestess powers.
"Feh. I'll be nice when he stops coming around..." He spat. I didn't have to wait long before Inuyasha's ears twitched and drew Tetsusaiga, and got in front of me. "Ha that bastard just won't take a hint."
"Inuyasha. please..." I started but was interrupted when a hand grabbed mine. "Hey Koga...(COUGH)" choking on the dust that followed him.
"Hey Kagome I got these for you...Y'know to make you feel better." When he handed me a boutique of wildflowers I noticed he was a bit taller then usual...I looked down and found out why.
"Get. The. Hell. Off!" Inuyasha hissed from the ground, apparently when Koga stopped in front of my he stepped on Inuyasha in the process.
"Oh yea I forgot about Dog-face" taking his time to get off Inuyasha. "So Kagome are you ready to go?"
"Yea let me just get my-" searching for my book bag.
"And where the hell do you think you're going?"
"With Koga. He's gonna help me with my powers remember?"
"Oh no you don't. You ain't going nowhere with this mangy flea bag." he said getting in front of me again
I walked over behind him and raised my hand to his shoulder "Inuyasha...sit."
(THUD)
"Come on Koga.." I said looping my arm with his. "I'll see you guys later. But good night though, just in case I don't." We were close to the forest entrance when I felt a grab at my hand.
"I told you that you ain't going anywhere with him..." Inuyasha grunted
"Inuyasha...I'll give you til the count of three to LET. ME. GO."
"Yeah or what?"
I turned around and gave him a death glare and my hands started to be engulfed with fire. He let go(O.O) and Koga started walking again.
I couldn't believe she went with him. Him. Koga. Why did she go with him. wh-
"Well I hope those two have fun..." My thoughts were interrupted by a lecherous monk "Kagome's stress level has been up lately and taking the night off might do her some good..."
"What are you getting at monk?" I asked walking back the fire.
"Well I just think that Kagome needs a break...is all..."
"But she's not taking the night off, she going to go train with Koga, right?" Shippo asked taking a bite of ninja food.
"Right, she's not relaxing, she training and I support her."
"And what would she need relax for, pray tell?"
"You Inuyasha..." Sango spat
(O.O) I couldn't believe it, Sango was ganging up on me too! "Wh-whatda mean?"
"She needs a break from you always hounding her. She deserves this night away from you."
"I don't know about you, but I think it's payback." Shippo said
"Payback! For what?"
"All those times you went to go see Kikyou!" Shippo shouted
"He's right Inuyasha. You don't know it, but it hurts Kagome to know that you still have feelings for Kikyou." Sango started
Did I? I didn't think I still did. All I've been thinking about lately is Naraku and...Kagome...
"She's doing exactly what you do when Kikyou is around. Running off and not considering your feelings."
I didn't realized that I hurt Kagome that way. I had no idea the pain I was causing her. "She never brought it up so I figured-"
"Oh course she wouldn't say anything Inuyasha. Kagome doesn't want to upset you!" Miroku shouted "Unlike you, she knows how hard it would be for you if one day you have to chose between them."
"Inuyasha, just let Kagome be, it's not that you care about her anyway" Shippo started
"What the hell did you just say?!" I scared him so bad he went his pants. Believe me. "Don't you ever say that I don't care about Kagome! I spent most of my time protecting her!"
He jumped up again "Oh really is that why you call her names, yell at her, make her feel bad?!" I felt bad...I really did. I just sat there, until Shippo came up and hopped in my lap. "Inuyasha, Kagome is like my mom, she takes care of me, when I see her upset I get upset. Like it or not you are sorta like my farther, you look out for me too. Seeing you two together and happy makes my happy..." he put his head down and started to cry,"...but when you guys fight...I don't have my family anymore!" he cried
"Sometimes..." Sango started "When she and I talk... she ask me if it's really necessary for her to be here. She thinks you don't care Inuyasha, that she's your jewel detector. She knows that deep inside you still have feelings for Kikyou and she doesn't place the blame on you at all for that, she cares deeply for you Inuyasha, that's why she stays here, for you."
'But she's not. She's a lot more then that. I do care for her, more then anyone in the world. Hell I might go as far as to say I lov-'
"Inuyasha...all we are asking is please nice a little nicer to Kagome..." Miroku finished. I nodded and got up, walking in the woods. "Where are you going?"
"For a walk..."
(A/N: Okay this chapter is telling you guys what was happening with Kagome while the other were talking. Okay? On With The Show!)
We were walking with my arm looped with Koga's he didn't say anything I nether did I. Not that he would, the place we were going to train at was the clearing near the bone eater's well. It was the place I was most comfortable at. We had been walking for a while, without talking much really, it was nice. I use my new ears to listen to every sound possible. I heard Koga sign a few time so I broke the silence, "What's wrong?". I think I broke him out of a trace cause of the way he answered,
"Hmm? What? Did you say something?"
"Yes -er- no. Well I just asked if you were okay, you were signing."
"Nothing's wrong I was just admiring the moon. I love to watch it, it makes me feel at peace and happy."
I saw a little taken in by Koga's remark, I had totally forgot about the moon. I was mostly thinking about surroundings and my ears, a little bit about Inuyasha. "Yea it is nice to just stare at it. The stars are fun to look at too I find myself stargazing anytime I can." He saw him look down at me.
"They aren't the only ones." that last one made me blush, but lucky for me we finally made it. "Okay Kagome were here. Now what?"
"Well I was hoping we'd start off with my priestess powers first." I took the container with the jewel shards and gave it to Koga. "Now get lost..." His face dropped "...So that I can try and find you by sensing the jewels!"
"Oh okay then." With that he ran off, I got in what I though was the middle of the clearing. I closed my eyes and concentrating on the energy of the jewels. I reached my hand out to feel the energy and,
"Gotcha!" I ran after Koga, we was fast but I was a little bit faster, now being a cat demon we are naturally faster then dogs or wolfs. He was up in a tree and he thought I didn't see him, but I did. I ran past and climbed up a tree behind the one he was on and tackled his butt to the ground. We rolled around before I got up and brushed myself off.
"Wow, I didn't even feel you come after me!"
We had been playing this 'game' for awhile now and I was getting tried, it had to be like two in the morning. We found a spot under a tree back in the forest, to rest. I had brought some food and drinks with me and we just cooled off.
"Wow Kags...you don't mind if I call you that do you?" he asked sitting down and giving me back the jewel shards.
"No- I actually like that nickname, not many people call me that anymore." taking a sip of pop.
"Anymore?"
"Yeah, my little brother started to call me that when he and I were younger because he couldn't say my whole name back then." I placed the jewel shards back around my next, "Thanks for helping Koga..."
"You don't to thank me. You know I'll do anything for you..." he said. It made me blush, I wasn't used to getting complements like that and it felt nice. I realized tonight that it wasn't so bad hanging out with Koga. He was polite and sincere and thoughtful and not Inuyasha. "So Kagome you ready to start with your fire powers yet?" he asked standing up.
Getting up myself, "Yea I guess. We should hurry though, I bet the other must be worry sick about me."
"Are you sure?" he said stretching
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Well, I'm just saying the others might be, but what about Inuyasha? I have heard the way he talks to you, how can you take it?"
"I don't know..." I never thought about it before. I guess since I love him in all I guess that's why.
"Kagome...?" he walked over me and put his hands on my shoulders. He slowly got close until our lips met. I was standing there, wide eyed for a bit. I really felt nice and sweet. I really didn't know what to do at the time, so I just stood there, and enjoyed this moment.
He pulled away from me, still with his hands on my shoulders, "Koga..." I said blushing a very deep red.
"I would never yell at you or treat you like he does..." I looked into his eyes. They were fulled with sorrow, concern, and love. "Kagome may I ask bold question?" I nodded "Will...will you be-be...my-my mate?"
