IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE:
As to my rather…prolonged update; I am truly sorry, it's just taking me longer to type this up than usual. Considering that my right wrist has weakened because of too much strain, and is rather sore. I just hope I don't have tendonitis. If you think I'm not dedicated, then let me tell you.
I finger type with my left hand when my right wrist is in too much strain/pain and is on ice. Now everyone, I swear, if you get me to 40 or 45 reviews I promise a 7 page long chapter when we get to that number of reviews, alright?
Sounds like a good idea to me. grin
Oh ho people, I do realize I made a bit of an error concerning chapter 1 and 3. Kagome is now a high school freshman; 16 year old. This has been fixed.
Foolishly I forgot that and presumptuously said that she was "having the security of just being a normal middle school girl, almost high school girl."
I'm a little surprised no one noticed this and called me on it…but grateful in a way shifty glance…I don't want flamesssssssss .
So, we're sticking with the 16 year old high school freshman bit.
I don't believe that Kagome would really want to be in a quite so…mature and dedicated relationship at the age of 15.
I'm sorry, that's just not very realistic to me since I wouldn't be caught dead naked in a cave with some guy at the age of fifteen. But that's just me. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, depends how you look at it.
Just by the way I made Kagome's character out to be, and how I interpreted her to be from the manga and anime, I don't see her very well likely doing such a thing.
And in this fic, she shall be turning 17 soon.
Oh, and just because she's going to agree to be Kouga's mate…does not mean that the raunchiness begins so soon evil grin I know I know, all of you little hentai's want to kill me now! hides in corner
Don't worry, we'll get there, but because I do not wish for anyone to report this story, my raunchy parts of the story, along with the rest will be posted on adult when the time is right.
Plus, then the people; however many or few there will be who are not comfortable with lemons, will not be forced to do so. .
Now, on with the story
From Bad to Worse
Day Two Begins
"Oh honestly," Kagome's sleep induced sluggish mind complained as she saw red through her closed eyelids as the light hit them.
She moaned, "Five more…minutes…" as she rolled over in her bed, dragging the soft covers over her head; cocooning herself within her blankets.
Just then, her mother knocked softly on the door while opening it a crack.
"Kagome-chan, it's almost eleven. Don't you think you should get up? I thought you could use the rest, so you don't have to go to school today. We'll save that for tomorrow." Higurashi-san smiled at her half-awake daughter as she tried to untangle herself from her nest of covers.
"Mmm…hmm…" Kagome's muffled agreement came as she sat up, pulling the cover down from her face. This action left her hair frizzed upward from the static of the blanket; altogether a rather amusing site.
Kagome's mother chuckled lightly at this site, and as she left her daughter's room she called out, "Lunch will be ready in an hour."
The teenage girl slipped out of her bed, bare feet crushing the soft carpet.
She made her way to the bathroom, after reaching it performed her morning rituals, shower and such, nothing of much importance.
She came downstairs at noon to find her mother and grandfather sitting down at the table in the kitchen.
"Ah! Kagome! Is that infernal demon going to be coming anytime soon…? If so I need to prepare some wards…" Her rather senile grandfather trailed off with incoherent mutterings.
Kagome and her mother rolled their eyes simultaneously as they shrugged off Ji-chan's normally odd behavior.
"He's not coming Ji-chan." Kagome told her grandfather as she sat down.
Before any retort could be made, Mrs. Higurashi cut in, "Let's eat before it gets cold everyone!" …
Sango gripped her head in aggravation.
Only one word could come to her disheveled mind.
STRESS.
She shook her head this way and that, trying to calm her frazzled nerves.
It was all she could do not to attack, maim, kill, or smother to death that incorrigible monk!
Day by day, night by night he would not stop until she was rolling in her premature grave from his teasing, spying, and perverted acts.
Oh was she wrong in thought that he would stop all of his 'promiscuous' acts…
Oh how she was so very wrong.
Shippo looked up at the frazzled demon exterminator. In his opinion it was far too early to be doing any sort of worrying. They should all be asleep still, the sun had barely risen!
And already was that baka houshi making a fuss and stressing Sango.
A loud drawn out sigh could be heard as the Taijiya knocked out the annoying Houshi, just for a little bit of peace and quiet.
Heaving her boomerang up, Sango left for the woods to relieve some of her pent up energy…more formally known as stress brought on by a certain pervert…
As our friendly neighborhood wolf demon walked through the dense forest he heard his rather exhausted companions start to catch up with him.
Kouga smirked; debating on whether or not to start running…just to give them a little more exercise…because of course they needed it…heh.
But in the end he decided to sit on the lip of a dry well that he found in a vast field.
He nearly burst out laughing at Ginta, Hakkaku, and the wolves as they tiredly drudged forward, finally collapsing on the ground.
"Kouuuuga…Why do you torture us sooooo….?" Hakkaku let the question trail off as he let his head fall into the dirt.
Kouga chuckled, "I could always start running again…" and he grinned inwardly when Ginta jabbed Hakakku in the ribs, hissing at him not to ruin their chance at a rest.
A very rare chance at that.
A familiar scent wafted up to Kouga's sensitive nose.
Kagome.
Why the hell was it coming from a well?
As Kouga was pondering this, the last person he wished to ever see again shouted his name sickeningly sweetly.
"Kouga Darling! When are we finally going to mate? You promised me!" The red-haired white furred wolf Ayame questioned the now very irritated wolf prince.
"Get away from me you annoying wench! I am NOT going to mate with you! I already have an intended!" Kouga shouted at the girl, one leg balanced on the ledge of the well.
This infuriated the obsessed wolf demoness further, and at one last attempt, she lunged at the wolf prince; planning to drag him back with her if necessary.
Caught by surprise, Kouga tried to leap away from Ayame's flying tackle, but tripped backwards.
As he flew down into the deep abyss of the dry well, the wolf demoness clutched onto his arm. Kouga felt himself become heavy with warmth and sleep and the last thing he saw was a soft blue light emitting around him and Ayame…
Mrs. Higurashi sat in the kitchen with her daughter, trying to use the age old trick of cookies and milk to coax what Kagome was having trouble saying out of her.
Ji-chan was out in the shrine, trying to come up with new wards and 'authentic' scrolls.
Kagome wanted to roll her eyes at her mothers attempt at trickery. But she supposed her mother was just concerned. Kagome did say that she would tell her today after all.
The girl sighed, putting down her half eaten cookie onto her plate. It was now or never, so to speak.
Her mother beat her to it, just about the wrong guy, "Is it about InuYasha…did you…have…SEX? We did have that talk a long time ago…did you use PROTECTION?"
Kagome did what any sane person would do in that moment.
She fell out of her chair in a dead faint.
She woke to her mother sitting her up with a wet dishtowel on her forehead.
Quickly disentangling herself from her strange mother, she resumed her seat at the table.
"No mom! I did not sleep with InuYasha!" She explained, a sweat-drop appearing on the side of her head as she tried not to scream the denial.
"Oh…then who did you sleep with?" Kagome's mother asked bluntly.
A vein popping replaced the sweat-drop as Kagome fiercely explained to her dense mother, "I did not sleep with anyone! I was going to talk to you about Kouga…and my soon to be relationship with him. Why did you think I'm some sort of whore?"
Her mother's confused frown turned into a relieved smile. Mrs. Higurashi suddenly got up from her chair and hugged her daughter tightly.
Man she had quick mood swings.
"Gomen, Kagome-chan…it's just...nowadays it happens a lot. So this Kouga boy, he's the one who always fights with InuYasha and proclaims his love to you?"
The sweat-drop was back.
"Mama, yes, that's Kouga…but actually…I think I l-love him too, and he asked me to be his mate again…not that he doesn't always, but this time I think I might really accept. I like the way he treats me, and what I feel for him is nothing like what I thought I felt for InuYasha. Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" Kagome said this all very quickly, so her mother had to give it a minute or two to sink in and make sense.
"Kagome-chan, you're nearly 17, I believe that you are old enough to make your own decisions…and if this is what you truly want to do; I cannot stop you." Mrs. Higurashi told her daughter, who had worry evident on her face.
She patted her daughters' hand, nudging the plate of cookies at her daughter once again. Hopefully to relieve her daughters' worry once again.
"But I do have one…request, so to speak. More of a suggestion?"
Kagome nodded for her mother to continue.
"I don't believe it would be wise of you to get pregnant while you still have two more years of school, because I believe it would hinder your work and focus. Children do that to you." Kagome's mother finished with a wink.
"Ne, I also don't want that until I am out of school, and while Naraku is still undefeated, I wouldn't want my child to end up hurt because of that evil-" Kagome was interrupted on her now rant by a banging sound outside.
"What the hell was that?" Oy, Kagome really had been around InuYasha and Kouga for too long.
Then that's when she sensed the two jewel shards from the well house.
Which could only mean one thing to her.
Kouga.
Which to her was entirely impossible, but this was her life.
The impossible always became possible with her.
She ran to the well house, leaving her mother at the back patio door. Sliding back the shoji she came face to face, rather eye to eye with bright blue eyes.
"Kouga!" Kagome was very shocked at the abrupt arrival of the wolf prince, not that she really minded.
But what really shocked her was Ayame trying to cling on to Kouga. The fact that they both got through the well somehow puzzled her. She could maybe understand why Kouga could, because of his shards.
But Ayame?
Why Ayame of all the people?
What was the worst thing, Kagome realized, was the pang of jealousy and anger that Ayame was there; clinging onto Kouga, although a reluctant Kouga:
Her Kouga.
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Oh wasn't that just so much fun? The Ayame thing was just like BAM! It came into my mind. I thought it was a nice little twist.
In all of the Kouga going to Kagome's time fics, I have never saw the plot that Ayame fell in too.
Don't worry everyone! This is strictly Kagome/Kouga, not one ounce of Ayame/Kouga.
Now, I hope all of you liked this chapter; it was tough to get out, as you read above. But new ideas also. But the Ayame thing just perked that up and made it flow.
No InuYasha in this chapter, he'll be in the next one more than likely. I just didn't want this one too get too confused with all of the POV changes.
Oh, and for the person who said that the scenes were not separated better. I thought that it would flow better with an ellipsis at the end of the sentence to 'continue' on into the next scene. I realize that some sentences that do not continue into another scene have an ellipsis, but that's just the way the ball bounces sometimes.
Review Responses
Pimp Troyce- I'm very glad that you love my story and think I am talented. I don't think I'm the only one that shares your opinion that Kagome's love towards InuYasha was more childish and such. I have a few friends who have agreed with the theory, There were just too few fics with that plot in them, so I decided to make my own.
And Kouga's trip through the well is just for you, since you brought up your wish for the idea to happen.
I hope you liked it!
