Wings to FlyCh7

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.

Kagome appeared in front of him.

Kouga fell over backward onto the solid mountain. Stunned Kouga remained where he fell.

"Come on." Kagome enticed him from the sky. "…Race you to your den." Kagome's light-hearted attitude made Kouga smile.

He thought his world had just ended. Kouga stood up and followed Kagome back to his den. Kagome's flight was slow but Kouga enjoyed the time and conversation they shared along the way.

Once back at the entrance to the den, Kagome landed and Kouga led her in. Everyone stared at the two as they walked into the den. Kouga caught sight of the wolves that had attacked Kagome and growled at them.

Kouga treated Kagome's injured arm. "Kagome, You must excuse them. We just merged our pack with another. They do not know you." Kagome assured him that everything was all right, but Kouga didn't appear to be listening. He was too distracted by her injury.

Kouga temporarily left her side to get more bandages for her. Kouga had left his personal guards in charge of her.

Kagome rested for a while before she was pulled from her thoughts by Kouga's voice.

"…That mere human is the most powerful miko in the land. She is a sister to this pack and should be treated with royal respect. Her pity on you will be short lived if you try again what you did today EVER again. This is your warning; touch her again and I'll take your head myself."

"Kouga?" Kagome interrupted under her breath. She didn't want to split up his new pack.

"Kagome?" Kouga snapped out of his aggression. "It's alright Kagome." He reassured her.

Kagome stood at the corner shyly looking at the wolf that Kouga was yelling at.
