A/N!
I've never gotten so many reviews for only two chapters!
Frankly, I'm terrified.
I hope this lives up to your expectations.
By the way, sorry for the spelling mistake in chapter one. It was supposed to be "but".
Oh yeah, and those "oOo" are for change in point-of-views and/or to indicate a little time has passed.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and Co. If I did, Sesshoumaru would run around naked. Always.
Chapter Three: A Present
oOo
Kagome crossed her legs, still standing in the doorway. She was watching the two men unwillingly mashed together, struggling. She let out a small squeak.
The spell was starting to wear off. She removed the hand covering her mouth. What was happening to her? Why this all of a sudden?
Inuyasha was starting to get up. Kagome shifted her eyes around, watching both Inuyasha and Kouga back and forth. She couldn't believe she was actually considering it. The sight had excited her, and she wanted more.
But she sighed, and loosened up, not knowing she was taut. Kouga and Inuyasha were both frowning and were now looking at her. Kagome broke out in sweat. "W- What?" she stuttered.
"You liked that!" Inuyasha shouted. Kagome turned the kind of red that made Inuyasha's haori look like a cherry blossom in comparison. She didn't really think that she could fool two demons with very sensitive noses.
Just then the sweet sound of escape reached her ears in the form of the ramen boiling. She scrambled to the pot and took out three bowls and served them. The two just stared at her, amazed at her speed.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Kagome chirped with a false smile pasted on her face. She picked up her chopsticks. "Dig in!" she said in a high pitched voice, and began wolfing down the food.
Inuyasha and Kouga watched her gobbling the food, the noodles sometimes slipping off the sticks as if she were a child holding them for the first time. Both their mouths were agape, as their apparently thick heads were still digesting what Kagome's smell meant.
Once she finished her ramen, Kagome got up real fast and took the bowl to the sink. Before the bowl even settled down, she was halfway up the stairs.
Inuyasha and Kouga were still sitting there, their bowls of ramen untouched.
oOo
Kouga was thinking harder than he had ever, even more than when Ginta had fallen on his ass on pines and Kouga had to decide if he had to remove it or let it stay there to amuse him later.
So Kagome liked what had happened, and liked was an understatement. Kouga wiped his mouth once again, trying to forget the feel of Inuyasha's tongue in his mouth. He shuddered at the prospect of many sleepless nights.
At last he slowly lifted up his bowl and, ignoring the chopsticks which lay on the table, swallowed it in one go. It was good. Kagome was a good cook, and he filed that fact away in his mind.
His thoughts drifted back to Kagome. So she gets excited at man on man action, huh? He smirked, thinking of all the possibilities up that avenue, but there was nothing. He knew he couldn't bring himself to do it voluntarily or involuntarily.
He sighed, and got up. He had decided to go and explore this place. He left Inuyasha to his thoughts and exited the giant hut.
Kouga jogged down the steps and looked to his left and right. No one. He decided to go right and ambled along. There was no hurry, and there might be a need to mark his territory later, after Kagome'd become his mate. After all, what's hers would become his.
He walked quite a bit, and now there were many people around him. He kept hearing their comments. "Weirdo." "Look at his tail! I hope it's not the latest trend, I'd kill my daughter if she ever wears that" "What a hot guy!"
Kouga stopped. That had come from a man. He glared at him as walked by. Then he slipped off his headband and felt his forehead. Nothing. Cool as a coy wolf.
Kouga continued walking, staring at the windows of the shops lining the street. He reached a particular shop. Smiling, he entered it.
oOo
Inuyasha was dumbfounded. So maybe that was the reason why she had sat him. Not to protect Kouga. He put his tongue out and scratched it with his claws until all the white stuff was scratched away, purging it of wolf. Maybe Kagome didn't really care for that creep.
Feh.
oOo
Kagome ran up the stairs and into her room. She threw herself on the bed and buried her face in the pillow, and let out a frustrated scream. 'I'm going mad. That must be it. The horny kind of mad. I'm going to drown in the pool of my own insanity and live a fake normal life.' she thought.
After a while, she got up and went into the bathroom to draw herself a bath. As she felt the temperature of the water filling up the tub, she thought deeply about what had happened. She stopped when a faint throbbing made itself felt in her head.
After the tub had been filled, she unclothed and settled down into the tub, and sighed contentedly as she picked up a book and looked forwards to a long bath.
oOo
Kagome had finished her bath. She got out of the tub and dried herself off and went into her bedroom to change. After she changed into her pajamas, there was a knock on the door. She opened it, and saw Kouga standing there, a grin on his face.
She blushed furiously, but let him in. He strode over to her bed and sat down. "I got something for you." He announced. He said nothing else.
"Er… how nice. What is it?" Kagome mumbled, still red. "Well, since you seemed to show some interest in my activities –" Kagome gaped. She didn't believe Kouga was actually mentioning it.
"I thought you'd like this." With that, he reached behind his pelt and pulled out a book. "The guy wanted something called "yen" or some shit, but I convinced him to accept fist instead."
Kagome frowned and took the book. It was a comic, and on the cover were two boys who were… very cozy indeed. Above them were the words "Forbidden Love – A Tale of Two Boys." They were naked.
Kagome turned even redder. She got up and with all her might (and a little bit of miko power, no doubt) flung the book at Kouga's face. It hit dead-on and he hit the wall. "HENTAI!"
oOo
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but this seemed a good place to end.
