Stacy: Wow... I'm impressed...
CK: Nani?
Stacy: You got about 20 reviews in one chapter...
CK: Are you saying my stories were never good?
Stacy: Well... yeah...
CK: *WHACK* You're just here to do the job for me! Hurry up!
Stacy: Ok, ok... Capricorn-chan doesn't own InuYasha...
CK: And Kouga and Mikuro? Maybe... Fate will have its way...
Stacy: What the hey? O.o
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"When are we gonna get to the killing InuYasha part?" Mikuro asked.
"Soon." Kouga replied. "You have to be patient, Mikoru..."
. "It's Mikuro, not Mikoru!" Mikuro shot back.
"Sorry." Kouga smirked. He was actually taking a liking to the small girl who had been following him around for the past three days. Even if she was a hanyou, she was kinda funny at times, and very useful with her powers.
Kouga looked down at the breakfast he had prepared. "Can you heat it up, Mikuro?" He asked.
T.T "Dude, I'm an ICE demon."
"Oh yeah..."
Mikuro had picked up the word 'dude' from Kagome, who didn't use it, but had often read her books with this one character, Datesha ((A/N: Japanese for 'dude'.)) who used that word constantly.
Kouga sighed and sat down in front of the girl, with the food in between them.
"Do you usually eat this much?" He asked her.
"Nope." Mikuro asked. "Usually I just eat rice from those fancy mansions that my dad takes us to... But if this is all..." She took a bite. "Yummers." ^_^
Kouga smirked again. This kid was really... weird... In a good way. He didn't know how else to describe her.
He had made his decision.
"I'm going to train you." Kouga said confidently.
OO "Huh?"
"I'm going to train you." He repeated.
"In what? Lack of intelligence?" She asked.
He sweatdropped. "What's that mean?" He asked.
"It means you aren't the brightest crayon in the box." Mikuro explained, using another phrase Kagome had once used to describe InuYasha.
Kouga didn't know what that meant either, but he didn't think it was a compliment, so he kept his mouth shut.
"Hey, do you wanna kill InuYasha or not?" He asked.
"Of course! After what he did to Kagome, I'd to anything to kill him!" Mikuro shouted, with a determined look on her face.
"And he's strong, you know that, right?" Kouga asked. 'I'm complimenting the mutt...' He thought in his mind.
"Of course!" Mikuro repeated. "I traveled with him, didn't I!?"
"And you know you're not good enough to beat him yet, right?" Kouga pressed.
T.T "What are you implying?"
"Nothing." Kouga sweatdropped. "I'm just saying you don't have enough experience to just go after him."
"I almost killed him last time, didn't I?" Mikuro asked, narrowing her dark blue eyes. "If my dad hadn't gotten in the way, I woulda killed him easy!"
"Maybe." Kouga replied. He looked up and gave her an evil smirk. "But where's the fun in that?"
Mikuro blinked, but soon she returned the smile. "Ok. I agree to let you train me." She told him.
"OK! Let's get started!" Kouga announced. He stood up and started making his way out, but soon realized she wasn't following him.
"Hello!? Didn't you hear me?" He asked.
"Dude!" She yelled.
"What?"
"I'm eating!"
He sweatdropped. ;;;;

Authors Moment:
Though everyone might be wishing that I'll show a awesome scene of Mikuro and Kouga training... It's not gonna happen. Nope, a much sappier scene is gonna happen. But you'll love it.
SADLY, you have to read this scene first! XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"InuYasha, what exactly did you do to make her run away like that?" Kagome asked.
"Don't ask me, the kids a brat... What can I say?" InuYasha replied.
Kagome pretty much knew what was going on.
"YOU MESSED AROUND WITH KIKYOU, DIDN'T YOU!?!?!?" Kagome screamed, fire in the backround.
"What!?" InuYasha asked. He couldn't lie to her... could he?
He sighed. "Well..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"OK, Mikuro, ready to start your first day of training?" Kouga asked. He had woken up two minutes ago, and was ready to start the day.
No reply.
"Mikuro?" He asked, turning around. Still no reply.
Kouga blinked and lifted the blanket made of wolf fur off the body that usually slept next to him and woke up two seconds after he did. "Are you OK?" he asked. The girl still was sleeping, and didn't answer him.
"Mikuro?" He repeated, reaching out and touching her shoulder.
"What do you want?" She asked, looking up with her eyes half-open.
"What's wrong with you? Usually you're up early." Kouga kneeled next to her and she yawned.
"I don't know... I feel tired, and my throat hurts." she mumbled.
"Ah. I see." Kouga replied. "Anything else?"
"My nose is stuffy and I can't breathe that well..."
"You're sick." Kouga implyed.
"No duh, genius."
Mikuro whined and went back to her sleeping position. "Leave me alone." She said.
Kouga didn't say anything, he just sat there for a few minutes. Finally he said, "That must not be a very comftorable position."
"No." Mikuro agreed. She sounded sleepy.
Kouga got an idea. He walked over to his blanket and spread it out on the ground. Then he got another wolf-fur blanket and placed it at the end. He smoothed it out carefully, then asked Mikuro if she was awake. She didn't reply.
He turned to her, and she was asleep. He smiled for a minute, then leaned over and picked her up. As he walked over to where he had placed the blankets, he remembered the first time he met the ice girl. He had carried her in the exact same way as he was doing now.
Kouga kneeled and placed the small girl on top of the first layer of blanket, and then pulled the second layer over her, tucking her into the soft bed. Next, he sat next to her, watching over her like a gaurdian angel.
He felt like a father doing all of this. Then he remembered that he wasn't her father... Miroku was. Thinking about it, he decided... Miroku wasn't here right now. When he finally returned Mikuro to her family, if he did at all, he would give up his role. But for now...
Kouga leaned over and kissed the girl on the head. "Rest well." He mumbled, then left to go hang out with his clan.
...It wouldn't hurt to pretend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CK: Nah... Not a pairing... There's a huge age difference... And Kouga's sweet enough playing father... Awww... he's so KAWAII! *GLOMPS Kouga*
Miroku: She's MY daughter.
Mikuro: *just sits there pigging out on food*
Kouga: Get offa me! X.X
CK: R/R!!!
