Last Chapter…
Inuyasha stopped and looked thoughtfully at the sky, "Maybe…but one of us has to be cheerful!" Inuyasha suddenly got a bright idea, "hey, you said we get to play earlier…sooooooo." Inuyasha smacked Kouga on the arm, "TAG YOU'RE IT!"
"You can be so childish!" Kouga chased after a fleeing Inuyasha. 'Damn he's gotten faster since the last time we fought,' Kouga thought as he chased down his puppy, 'maybe it's just the shards being gone now…Damn I'll need to train!' Kouga finally succeeded in catching Inuyasha and hut him on the shoulder, "Tag!" and ran the other way. Together they would play into the long hours of the night and enjoying the fact that they were loved
"Inuyasha get back here!" Kouga shouted as he chased down Inuyasha. It had been just over three and a half months since they had found out Inuyasha was pregnant and had come to the wolf pack, thankfully everyone seemed to accept Inuyasha after they got to know him. Currently Inuyasha was running from Kouga who was trying, unsuccessfully, to get him to stay in the hut. A lot of the remaining wolf pack was watching from their daily routines, with stupid grins on their faces. "Damnit! I said get back here!" Kouga yelled as he puppy dodged his lunge
"Nuh uh!" Inuyasha stuck his tongue out at Kouga. Inuyasha's was due any day now but he was still quite quick on his feet. "You've gotta catch me!"
Kouga skidded to a halt and crossed his arms, "if you're not in there soon I'm going to have the whole pack jump you and who knows what that might do to the pups!" Kouga watched as Inuyasha stopped and grinned
"You wouldn't and you know it!" Inuyasha teased him
"Why you childish little…" Kouga started chasing after Inuyasha again, "I'll get you in there if it's the last thing I do!" Kouga faked lunging again and when he saw Inuyasha dodging left he pounced on him. They landed and Kouga quickly straddled Inuyasha's waist preventing him from moving. "I win!" Kouga smirked triumphantly
"Damn cheater…" Inuyasha muttered
"I did not!" Kouga said indignantly, "Now will you stay in the hut? Please, for me?"
"But it's not fair!" Inuyasha whined from beneath Kouga, "why do I have to stay in the stinking hut? I can't even walk around without you thinking I'm going to break a goddamned fucking leg or something!"
"I just don't want you or the pups to get hurt!" Kouga snapped, "Is it too much to ask that you STAY in the hut?"
"Yes," Inuyasha pouted, "it gets to stuffy in there and I miss the fresh air! It gets boring when you're not around and I have no one to talk to or anything!"
"Inuyasha…" Kouga sighed, "you could give birth any day now and I don't want you to be in the middle of god knows where when it happens. This is for your own good, so would you please just listen to me?" Kouga closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. "Ok how about this. Whenever I'm not around you stay in the hut…"
"But…"
Kouga silenced him by placing a hand over his mouth. "Let me finish puppy." Inuyasha nodded and he removed his hand. "When I am here and as long as I am with you, we can be outside. How does that sound?"
"But you're always gone all day! The only time you're home is at night and you're so tired all you wanna do is sleep!" Inuyasha whined, "Why can't I just go do whatever you're doing with you?"
"Hn, because it would be boring," Kouga stated, "I mean who seriously want to go to damn council meetings all damned day! Sometimes being alpha is a pain in the ass!" He placed his forehead on Inuyasha's protruding stomach
"Well maybe it won't be so boring if I'm there…" Inuyasha suggested
"Ok, but you have to …what the?" Kouga placed his ear against Inuyasha's stomach and listened carefully
"Kouga? What is it?" Inuyasha lifted his head and looked down at his wolf. 'My wolf,' he thought and grinned inwardly
"1…2…3…" Kouga counted off and grinned. "3 heartbeats! We're having 3 pups!" Kouga got excited and hugged Inuyasha tightly; Kouga jumped to his feet and helped Inuyasha to his. That had defiantly made his morning and by the smile on his puppy's face he could tell it made his as well
"3 pups…oh my god. This is so great!" Inuyasha jumped up and down giddily, "I wonder if they'll be boys or girls. Or if they'll have wolf forms like their father…" he stared pointedly at Kouga, who rolled his eyes. "Oh come on Kouga you know it would be cute!" Inuyasha smacked his mate's arm playfully
"I think it would be better if they had your ears," Kouga smirked as he tweaked Inuyasha's doggy ears
"And your tail!" Inuyasha giggled as he stroked Kouga's tail
"SO our kids have my tail, your ears and my wolf form" Kouga chuckled
"And my sexiness!" Inuyasha laughed
"Ok and your sexiness," Kouga smirked
"Heh," Inuyasha glanced at Kouga, "guess what?"
"Hmm?" Kouga responded
"You. Are. Late." Inuyasha smiled as Kouga frantically grabbed his arm and dragged him off in the direction of the councils hut.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Kouga complained
"I thought it would be funny to see your reaction," Inuyasha joked as he trotted alongside his mate
"Well if I get yelled at I'm blaming it on you!" Kouga said jokingly
Kagome backed away from the basin of water with a look of surprise, disgust and hatred. She had seen everything that went on since she left, from Inuyasha and Kouga mating to Inuyasha getting dragged off by Kouga a few moments ago. 'He left ME for that…that…WOLF!' Kagome thought furiously, 'he's supposed to love ME, not that fucking wolf!'
A feminine voice chuckled from behind her. "I warned you, dear Kagome. I knew this would happen one day but I hadn't expected it to be the wolf." The disembodied voice paused in thought, "I was actually quite surprised it was Kouga and I KNOW you were expecting him to go to hell with Kikyo…so was I, until she died at your hand"
"Shut up!" Kagome snapped and walked back up to the pool of water, "damn Kouga! Damn Inuyasha!"
The voice chuckled again. "Well, they don't know your and my secrets now do they?" the voice chuckled darkly again, "How about I make you a deal my dear Kagome…"
"A deal?" Kagome turned around to face the shadows, "what kind of deal?"
"I will help you kill that stupid wolf and make Inuyasha yours forever…however, you must give me something in return…" the voice chuckled again
"And what do I have that you would want?" Kagome asked, a hint of amusement in her voice
"I want to share your body and soul…to be free from this…hell…" the voice paused in thought, "I also want to be able to use the power of the Shikon no Tama, not for a wish, but to gain more power so I can easily destroy that wolf…"
"Hmm," Kagome turned back to the pool of water and waved a hand over it. The water seemed to flicker and an image of Kouga appeared. He seemed happy and content with Inuyasha in a hut with several others. She glared at Kouga through the water, "your days are numbered little wolf!" Without turning away from the pool she answered the voice, "very well, I shall share my body and soul with you. I have but one request…"
"Anything…" the voice replied
"What is your name?" Kagome asked
The voice seemed to be taken aback by this question, however it quickly replied. "You may call me, Leiko…"
"Very well, Leiko…what do I need to do to have us share body and soul?" Kagome asked as she frowned at the laughing wolf in the waters reflection
"Just close your eyes and enjoy the ride…" Leiko whispered, "your power shall be mine and my power shall be yours."
Kagome nodded and closed her eyes, awaiting the feel of power to course through her veins. Her body was suddenly engulfed in a red aura and she could feel Leiko's spirit enter her body. She allowed it past all of her inner barriers and into her soul. She smirked as her soul and body became one with Leiko, now she would have the power to get exactly what she wanted and nothing could stop her. Not even Inuyasha himself had the power to stop her anymore and even if he did there was still the rosary around his neck.
When she opened her eyes everything was different to her. All of her senses seemed sharper and she could feel a great power flowing through her body. She moved towards the full-length mirror not to far away and looked at herself in it. Instead of her old green and white school clothes, she now wore a black hakama with a tight fitting forest green haori. Underneath the haori she had a lighter green undershirt and onto of the haori she had light breastplate. The breastplate was made of steel and had many designs carved into it and was connected together by strong black leather straps. Around her neck hung an amulet on a sliver chain. The amulet was golden in color and had a red stone inset in its center. The amulet itself had a red aura surrounding it.
At her waist hung a katana, which she promptly drew. The blade looked a good 27 inches long with a 12-inch handle. Along the first 13 inches of the blade were several designs and words inscribed in the blade. The handle was made of wood with leather strapping and had a steel pommel at its end. The sheath seemed nothing special but she could sense a powerful barrier around the sword and sheath, which she assumed made so only it's owner could touch. The sword and sheath were both surrounded by a red aura like the amulet. She swung the sword several times experimentally and smirked with satisfaction. She sheathed the sword and once again looked at herself in the mirror. Her muscles were slightly more defined than before and her hair was now mid upper leg in length and held two dark green streaks in it. He eyes were now a blood red color and she had two very sharp fangs adorning her teeth.
She turned away from the mirror and walked silently back to the basin of water. She watched as Inuyasha and Kouga argued with one of the other wolves. 'I wonder what other kind of powers I have now…' she thought to herself, not expecting an answer
'Why don't you test your new body out?' A voice within her asked
'Leiko?' she asked in surprise
'Hai…it is I. We share body and soul, remember? I can talk to you and you can talk to me. Also we can slip in and out of control at any time. Meaning if you wish you could give me control and vice versa.' The voice informed her
'I see…' Kagome mused, 'I think I will test out this new body before I take them on…I must be prepared'
'Very well, I shall help you in learning your new powers as much as I can…' the voice chuckled softlyKagome nodded to herself and turned back to the basin of water. "Beware Kouga, for when the time comes…I will kill you and make Inuyasha mine!" With a wave of her hand she cleared the pool and disappeared into the shadows and back to Sengoku Jidai.
"Haku you little…" suddenly Kouga stopped and shivered
"Kouga?" Inuyasha looked at his mate in concern, "is something wrong?"
Kouga looked around the hut from his seat and then shook his head. "No, I just felt like I was being watched, that's all…"
"Well no duh! EVERYONE here IS staring at YOU!" Inuyasha snorted amusedly
"That's not what I meant!" Kouga growled, 'my furs even standing on end…what is going on? All my senses are screaming danger is near but I don't smell or hear anything nearby!'
"Yo…earth to Kouga!" Orokko yelled and waved a hand in front of Kouga's face. Once Kouga was out of his trance, Orokko spoke again. "As I was saying, what are we going to do about that arrogant bastard Ruri of the bear clan? We cant just let him run around doing whatever he wants, we MUST put him in his place!"
"Before Haku decided to interrupt me…" Kouga and Inuyasha both glared at Haku, "I was going to suggest calling that favor, Sesshomaru, owed us…"
"Do we really HAVE to deal with Sesshomaru? Cause I don't wants to see his face even IF he did help beat the shit out of Naraku!" Inuyasha scowled, "besides me and him never saw eye to eye and when he finds out I'm your mate…I'd hate to think what he says then…" Inuyasha shuddered involuntarily
"I know it's unfavorable but with you in your condition and Kouga without jewel shards there is no way we can take him down easily without loss of life…" Ukira pointed out
"I don't know if Sesshomaru will even help us at this time…" Yuta said quietly
"Why not?" Kouga and Haku asked
"Well, last I heard Sesshomaru has taken a mate…and she's bearing his pups. So he may not wish to leave the castle until his pups are born as with most canine demons," Yuta shrugged, "of course I may be wrong…he may help us willingly"
Inuyasha snorted in amusement, "They day my brother helps someone willingly is the day hell freezes over and the devil runs around in a dress screaming 'Look at me I'm a pansy'."
Everyone, even Kouga, looked at him strangely, Kouga sighed and shook his head. "I wont even ask where you came up with that one." Kouga smirked, "since he owes us a favor I think his honor will force him to help us, willing or not."
"Keh!" Inuyasha replied nonchalantly
"Well now that, that's dealt with…I am going home!" Yuta got up from her spot at the table, "unless there is something else that needs addressing?" Everyone shook their heads and Yuta pulled Ukira up from the table, "let's go baby! I need to get laid, right now!"
"All right!" Ukira jumped up and picked up her mate and ran out of the hut, leaving behind two laughing elders, a shocked Inuyasha and a staring Kouga
Kouga cleared his throat, "well that was interesting…"
"Yeah…hey Kouga…" Inuyasha smirked at his mate
"Yes puppy?" Kouga asked
"Puppy? Haha, that's one I haven't heard yet!" Haku laughed but quickly shut up from the hanyou's glare, "ok, ok! I was kidding!"
"You better have been…" Inuyasha's eyes narrowed at the elder while Orokko was still laughing helplessly on the floor. Inuyasha stood up with Kouga and they started to walk out of the hut when Inuyasha stopped and turned back to the two remaining elders. "Don't get TOO excited in here you two…people might start to think something's…up."
"HEY!" Orokko and Haku yelled indignantly as Inuyasha took off out of the hut followed by a laughing Kouga
It was now late in the afternoon and Inuyasha sat beside the river in Kouga's lap with his arms wrapped around him. The both sat calmly watching the water, small smiles on their faces. The meetings that usually took all day only took half a day thanks to Inuyasha's knowledge and even if they didn't voice it, they were all grateful. This gained Inuyasha even more respect among the wolves and made him extremely happy.
"Inuyasha?" Kouga nuzzled his puppy's neck
"Hmm?"
"You did great today…" Kouga hugged Inuyasha tighter and kissed the mating mark on Inuyasha's neck
"Thanks koi," Inuyasha blushed lightly, not used to getting compliments. Inuyasha suddenly felt a jolt in his abdomen and his doubled up in pain
"Inuyasha!" Kouga held Inuyasha close to him and looked at his pained face, "what's…"
Inuyasha suddenly cried out in pain as the jolt hit him again. He caught his breath and squinted his eyes open. His eyes met the concerned face of his mate, "It…it's…time…" he whispered before he blacked out
Authors Note – AH! I'm glad to be back! Well I wont be back as much but I'll update as soon as I can! I just have work, school, piano lessons…god I'm so busy! Oh well…
SO how did you like Kagome? I personally think she's a bitch and a bit of an airhead…Heh. This story is NOT for Kagome lovers. XD
Oh and just so you know the elders are Haku, Orokko, Yuta and Ukira. I made a mistake last chapter where I mixed up Haku and Ukira but I fixed it.
OK! ITs time for Reviews to help me out! I want you to come up with names for a FEMALE and leave them in your reviews! Than next chapter I will anouce which name i will use! (unless they all suck) Im only doing this because I am very uncreative right now XD
