Chapter 21: "Kouga…"
Disclaimer: Again, I don't own any Inuyasha characters… I wish I owned Kouga though…hahaha, but I do own this fan fics plot…
Kouga sat on the foot of his cave (AN: One of our reviewers alerted me that Kouga dosent live in cabins nor huts… he lives in caves, and I should've known since I SEE THE SHOWS! Lol… ok back to the story).
I wish I could've given her everything I had… but of course… she preferred Inuyasha… that ass… I don't know if hey are still in that old woman's village…
Kouga stood up.
Wait… what am I doing?! I told her to never come across me… and I would never come across her after the way that wench used me…
Then he soften up a bit…
But I love her… why the hell wouldn't I want to see her after so many months…
"I made up my mind… I'm going!" Kouga growled and started walking out of his cave.
As he passed many of his comrades, all of them waving good-bye or hello, he didn't respond.
What should I say when I go up to her? Should I… say "Hello Kagome… my woman…"? NO! NO! She choose the mutt face… I have to think of a way to say hello to her… Welcome? Hello? Good afternoon? Oh….
He growled all the way until he came upon the village.
He eyed many villagers wandering around the cabins and waters. Most of them were playing with youngsters, or they were mostly chatting away about something.
Humans…
He came across this young lady, who was washing a foreign dress.
How should I ask her?
They girl looked up and glanced at Kouga. She blushed furiously, and looked down.
"Uh…" Kouga began, not knowing what to ask. "Uh… do you know who… Kagome is?"
The girl looked up and gave a silent giggle.
"She left a few moments ago… with her…friends… especially that dog guy…?" she answered with a dreamy voice.
Kouga nodded slowly and looked away.
Ok… so she left already… but where?
"Doyouknowwheretheywent?" he asked very fast.
The girl looked at him puzzled, then smiled.
"Oh you're so cute! And you look like you're not from around here!" she laughed. "But… I know they headed out…" she paused looking around, then she stopped and pointed at a path that was across a small pond. "… there!"
Kouga leaned his head to the side and smiled.
"Thank you…" he muttered.
The girl gave a small bow and returned to her cleaning.
Kouga started running at hyper speed, surprising many people along the way.
Kagome POV
"Where are we going anyway?" Shippo asked, filled with boredom.
Kagome looked straight away, not noticing Shippo was asking her. She looked down to see a hurt Shippo.
"Oh… I don't know… we are trying to find another village… a village where people can tell us about jewel shards and stuff…" she answered.
"Ok…" Shippo smiled weakly and started walking slowly.
I guess he's mad at me… but… I had my mind on other things… oh… now I feel guilty.
Kagome stopped walking and walked back towards Shippo who was wiping something from his face.
Kagome reached down in front of him and picked him up.
"I am very sorry." she said while placing him on her shoulder. "I was thinking about something… I never meant to ignore you…".
"Its ok… I know what you are thinking about… and believe me… I understand." he said concernedly.
You mean you lost a baby who wasn't even in your stomach for 24 hours? I shouldn't say that…
"You do?" Kagome asked blankly.
"Yeah… I mean…. I would be worried about the next upcoming challenges that we will be facing." Shippo answered cheerfully, and jumped off her shoulder.
I knew it… wait… huh?
Kagome stopped.
"What is it Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he stopped, followed by the others.
Kagome's face straightened and she looked back.
"I sense a jewel shard…" she said.
"A jewel shard?!" Shippo asked excitedly.
"Yeah… and its coming pretty close…" Kagome reached onto her side, and pulled out her sword.
She couldn't help but smile.
I may have changed… but I love how I use this beauty… what should I call it? Hmm… I don't think I should be thinking about this now… but Ill call it… Triton… weird name…. Oh well!
Kagome raised the "triton" from the ground and placed it in attack mode.
"Wow… you have grown a liking to that sword…" Inuyasha smirked.
"Yes… I have… just like you like your tetsusaiga…" Kagome shot back at him.
The jewel shards were getting closer… and she could feel it…
A small tornado suddenly appeared, pulling back Shippo rising him to the nearest tree branch.
Kirara caught Shippo in mid-air and slowly placed him on the ground.
Shippo gave a small pat to Kirara, and climbed on top of her.
The small tornado began to disappear and a figure walked out of it.
Kouga!
"Kouga…" Kagome said blankly and started walking towards Kouga, with her sword up high.
What should I say to him? I remember how he warned me not to come near him…
Kagome stopped and glanced at him.
"H-h-hello" he stammered to say.
Everyone, except Inuyasha, gave a small head bow.
"Kagome… I need to talk to you…" Kouga held out his hand. "May you come?"
"Um…s-" Kagome stopped to see Inuyasha in front of her, with his hand on the sheath of the tetsusaiga…
"Over my dead body!" Inuyasha growled.
Kouga gave a small smirk and crossed his arms over his chest.
"That… can be arranged…" he chuckled.
Oh no here we go…
