Chapter Seven: Koga's Return
Kagome had a wonderful night of rest. She woke up in the morning. Hikaru and Sakura were feed, burped, and changed. InuYasha woke up when Kagome was done making him and herself something to eat. "Is it ramen?" he asked, really half joking and not caring if it was his favorite food since Kagome's cooking had gotten better. Kagome smiled and handed him a bowl. InuYasha looked at it. "It is!" He smiled, kissed Kagome on the cheek and ate his food. She ate hers before leaving to visit Sango.
"I just want to catch up with my best friend. Yuki, Eri, and Ayumi haven't visited me since I told them that I was carrying your baby. So, I'll be back in a few. Hikaru and Sakura should only sleep for a little bit more. Sakura loves to sleep," Kagome said before saying a quick 'see you later' and leaving.
InuYasha got bored of waiting within five minutes and decided to bury Kaede's body. When he walked into the village, he found that they did the preparation and were awaiting Kagome's blessing since she was the only one who could be priestess. InuYasha also found Kagome at the burning of Kaede's body. She was doing what Kaede had taught her months and months ago. It appeared the villagers didn't have to wait long. Kaede's ashes were collected into a vase and handed to Kagome. She then disappeared to the shrine were Kikyo's ashes used to reside. Kaede deserved that much. InuYasha walked back to his hut and smelled a scent he hadn't smelled in awhile. Koga!
Koga was running though the forest where InuYasha's hut resided. He had been traveling all night and all day just to see Kagome. His obsession had turned into an illness, something so mental he belonged in a mental institution. Koga's nose twitched. He smelled mutt. He ran until he was in front of InuYasha. Pride was making him want to rub the false fact of Kagome's choosing in InuYasha's face.
"What are you doing here, Koga? I thought you locked yourself in the mountains when you heard Kagome was with me," InuYasha snarled. Koga sneered.
"Right. That is why she finally chose me. She chose me and told Hakkaku to tell me," Koga growled.
"You are insane. Kagome only wants you as a friend. She has a family," InuYasha yelled. Cries erupted from the hut.
"I take it that those are pups," Koga grinned. He dashed into the hut and found it empty. "It was trickery!" InuYasha took a step to the side of the opening.
"Yup. Now leave and never return," InuYasha demanded.
"InuYasha, want ramen for dinner?" a sad Kagome walked in. She looked at Koga. "Koga? What are you doing here? Leave. I told you once before that I didn't like you any more than a friend. I love InuYasha."
"Who are you trying to fool? Me or him? Or maybe even your dear pups?" Koga grinned. Kagome stood her ground. She took her bow and snatched an arrow from her quiver. She aimed for Koga's heart.
"Leave or die," Kagome warned. "No one talks that way about my family or even me." Koga laughed and extended his arms out to the walls.
"Take your shot. Your powers can't save me like that shikon jewel can," Koga snickered, starting to attack Kagome, who stood there. InuYasha tried to rush to stop him, but Kagome had used the 'sit' spell on him. Koga was close enough to knock her bow away to hug her. Kagome smiled and released her arrow. It went in Koga's gut. Koga screamed and slapped Kagome, causing her to fall against the wall. Koga screamed again and ran. InuYasha looked at Kagome who motioned that she was alright. One thing was for sure though that was not alright. Koga was back with a vengeance.
