Wings to FlyCh6
Kagome's scream echoed through the mountainous region. After a moment Kagome uncovered her face. The wolf that lunged at her never did touch her. Kagome looked up to see Kouga standing in front of her and through the setting dust was the wolf lying in a small crater. Kouga had saved her.
Kagome fell to her knees in relief. The wolves all wanted a piece of her but Kouga's growl scared them off. Kouga spun around to see Kagome kneeling on the ground holding her bloody arm.
"Are you alright?" Kouga asked concerned with her spilt blood.
"I'll be okay." Kagome answered trying to conceal her injury.
"Where's the mutt?" Kouga asked Kagome.
Kagome glanced down shamefully before answering. "Inu-Yasha is with Sango and Miroku." Her secure answer led Kouga to wonder where they were since they obviously weren't with her.
Kagome stood up spreading her wings. Kouga looked up at Kagome's wings surprised by them. After looking back to Kagome's face in his confusion, Kouga couldn't help but stare at her angelic wings. Kagome wondered what perplexed Kouga. Then she realized that Kouga had been staring at her wings.
Kagome giggled. "They're new. Do you like them?"
Kouga looked at her still confused on how exactly she got them but smiled just the same.
Kagome felt the need to share her feeling about Inu-Yasha with someone and Kouga was as good as any of the others. "Inu-Yasha didn't like them."
"Is that why the two of you are split up?" Kouga inquired.
He could see by the look on her face that this was hard for her to talk about. Kagome nodded.
"Well, I like them." Kouga comforted her. He squeezed her upper arm and she yelped.
Her entire arm pulsed from the wolf's earlier attack. Kagome held her arm tighter trying to conceal the pain.
"Let me see it." Kouga requested.
Kagome hesitated but relinquished control of her arm.
Kouga looked at it then commented. "Come. Let me treat it." Kouga turned to allow Kagome to climb onto his back.
Kagome thought about Kouga's offer but she was dying to show off her new wings to someone who would be as entranced as she was with them.
Kouga looked over his shoulder at Kagome to see what was taking her so long.
Kagome smiled stepped up onto a large rock.
Kouga cautiously turned and stared at where Kagome stood. One wrong step and Kagome would fall into a canyon.
Kagome locked eyes with Kouga then fell over backwards.
"Kagome!"
Kouga called out her name then jumped up on the same spot Kagome had stood. Kouga's heart pounded furiously. First Inu-Yasha had turned her away leaving him the opportunity to have her forever, then one of his own attacked her, finally he had let her fall. This couldn't be happening to him. Kouga glanced down into the canyon ready to follow her.
