Confrontations can be very Annoying

Inside the Cave

Kagome had finally fallen asleep. Kouga had been gone for what felt like days. She knew it had only been a few hours. When she slipped into dreamland, she had the strangest dream…

Kagome was in a place that was completely white. There was no scenery or landscape. She started to walk around to find a way out. She stopped when she saw Kouga and Inuyasha standing in front of her.

"Kouga-kun? Inuyasha? What's going on here?" She said in worried voice. She started to walk toward both figures, when Kouga began to speak.

"What's it going to be Kagome? That dog or me? Do I have to worry about you taking our pup and running away to him?" He looked as if he was looking through her and not at her.

"Kouga..." She took a step towards Kouga as she spoke but was cut off by Inuyasha.

"You can't leave me Kagome you don't have the heart to. You know you love me more then that wolf."

Kagome put her hands over her eyes. The two Youkai stated shouting back and forth over each other. She could take it anymore. This was a nightmare.

"SHUT UP BOTH OFYOU!" Kagome sat up and looked around to see all the wolf Youkai in the den looking at her. 'It was a dream. What a strange dream.' Kagome felt stupid for waking up all the wolves and moved to settle back down. It was then that Kouga came back and sat down next to Kagome.

"Kagome are you ok I heard you scream?" Kouga moved closer to Kagome and placed his arm around her shoulder.

"Hai Kouga-kun. I just had a bad dream." She said. She began to snuggle into his embrace. Kagome felt comfort in the sound of his breathing and leaned into his chest. Her breathing evened out and she fell asleep in his arms. Kouga could tell she was scared. 'Don't worry Kagome. Everything will be better soon.' Kouga then thought of the last time he saw Kagome and how angry she was with him. He was happy that she had forgiven him and changed her mind about staying with Inuyasha. He smiled down at Kagome and let sleep take him.

When the morning came, Kagome was the first to wake up. As soon as she sat up her stomach starting growling telling her she need food. She walked over to her bag and looked for anything to eat but all she could find was ramen. 'Ramen. It Inuyasha's favorite. I don't want to even eat now.' She put down the ramen and looked for something else to eat. She found a candy bar, ate it and went back to sit with Kouga.

"You're awake. Are you feeling better today?" Kouga said as he sat up.

"Hai Kouga. Arigatu." Kagome put a smile on and looked down at her clothes. They were an off white color from her running, falling, and traveling. "Kouga I think I need to bath my clothes are filthy." She said as she stood up and walked to her large yellow backpack.

Kouga looked like he was deep in thought and hadn't heard what she said. "That reminds me. You can bath here."

Kagome thought of smacking him for even suggesting she bath in front of all the wolf Youkai in the cave. "Uh I meant I wanted to take a bath somewhere more private."

Kouga didn't seem to understand. "I didn't mean for you to bath right here. There isn't any water to bath here. I meant further into the cave there is a hot spring and my own personal cave where we can be alone." He had sly smirk on his face as he mentioned that they could be alone. "Follow me. I'll show you."

Kouga walked up to Kagome and took her bag and waited for her to follow him. Kouga led her through a maze of twist and turns. Kagome had no idea that the cave had so many sub caves. Kouga finally stopped walking when he got to a far secluded cave. It was a large area with smooth walls and floor. The was a hole at the top to let a little sun light in and a small hot spring in the middle. There was a passage off to the right that led to Kouga's personal cave.

"You can bath here. Ill be through there if you need me." Kouga pointed in the direction of the passage to the right. He dropped Kagome's bag and walk through the passage.

Kagome waited for him to be out of sight before she started to undress. She got into the hot spring and let the warm water soak all of her muscles. The water was so soothing that she almost fell asleep again. She washed her hair and then got out of the water. After she dried off she went to her bag and found a change of clothes. She got dressed and when to find Kouga.

She had just walked through the passage when Kouga leapt to his feet and began to growl. Kagome slowly moved towards him to see what was wrong.

"Kouga what's wrong?" she asked as she took slow step towards him.

"Dog face is coming. Stay here." And he was out the room before Kagome could even protest. She knew she would never find her way out so she had no choice but to wait.

'I wonder why Inuyasha is here. He's the one that told me he never wanted to see me again. What if he changed his mind? Oh I don't care. If he threw me away once he'll throw me away again.' Kagome sat down on a futon of animal skins and prepared to wait for Kouga's return when something hit her.

'Kouga and Inuyasha hate each other. What if they fight? I'm usually there to stop their fights from getting bad except for the time at Naraku's castle. I have to stop them.' Kagome raced out of the room after Kouga. She knew it would take her some time to get out of the maze but she hopped she wouldn't come too late.

Outside the Den

Kouga ran as fast as he could to the front of the den. He appeared in the entrance just as Inuyasha came up the waterfall. This was a confrontation that both knew was unavoidable. Since Inuyasha didn't see Kagome he knew nothing would stop him from killing Kouga this time.

"Oi Dog face, what are you doing here?" Kouga stay calm and cool. He really didn't want to have fight Inuyasha because he knew it would upset Kagome but he knew she wouldn't interrupt this fight.

"Shut up you wimpy wolf. You know why I'm here. I came to get Kagome back." Inuyasha began to growl at the wolf prince.

"Came to get her? Now why would you do that? She came here on her own which means she wants to be here." He spoke in a calm voice. He knew he didn't have to worry about Kagome leaving him. She was his mate.

Inuyasha was furious at Kouga's comment. "She didn't come here on her own. She was..." It wasn't the wolf's business why Kagome came here. "Just shut up. I've come to get her and I'm not leaving without her." Inuyasha growled and unsheathed the Tetsusaiga.

"You shut up you stupid half breed and get the hell out here. She's not leaving." Kouga began to charge Inuyasha but was stopped when he heard yelling.

"STUPID HALF BREED? Did you forget the pup I'm carrying is going to be a half breed too?" Kagome was shocked at Kouga's choice of words. She was already crying when she spoke. Kouga hadn't thought about that at all. Of course he wasn't that stupid that he forgot Kagome was a human and he was a Youkai. All he thought about was they were going to have a pup, together.

"Kagome?" both Inuyasha and Kouga stopped arguing to look at her. Inuyasha started to make his way towards her.

"Stop right there both of you." She turned to look at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, why are you here. You said you never wanted to see me again."

Inuyasha didn't think of what to say. They only thing he thought about were to just tell her how he felt. He had wanted to tell her alone when Kouga wasn't around and this wasn't the time or the place.

"Feh. I changed my mind. I can change my mind if I want." He replied and turned his face up. He crossed his arms across his chest and look away from her. He peeked one eye open to look at her and saw the anger on her face. 'I'm fucked.'

"HOW DARE YOU! Baka! BAKA! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" She made sure he was firmly planted into the ground before she approached him. "I think you should leave Inuyasha if you don't want me to break your back." She walked away from him towards Kouga. She was still fuming mad at him for his comment. He saw her anger and was a little scared.

"Kagome?" he asked in a nervous voice. She looked up at him and he knew he was screwed.

"YOU! How dare you make fun of Inuyasha for being a hanyou when our child is going to be a hanyou." She spoke through clenched teeth. Then she reached up. SMACK Kouga was left watching her walk back into the den with a red handprint on his face. 'She's scary when she's angry.'

As Kagome walked back inside she felt sick again and ran to go throw up. 'Damn morning sickness. Who gets morning sickness after being pregnant for less then a month?'

All the wolves and Kouga walked back into the den leaving Inuyasha in the hole Kagome had put him in. Kouga walked over to Kagome and began to rub her back while she was sick.

"Kagome, Gomen. I didn't mean to be so mean. I know our pup is going to be a hanyou and that doesn't mean I will love it less." He could tell she was starting to feel better. She turned to look at him.

"I forgive you. Why am I getting sick from the pregnancy already? Isn't it too soon?" Kouga looked at her with a confused look.

"What do you mean too early? How long after conception to humans have pups?" Kagome had completely forgotten. She was caring a half Youkai baby and it was possible for it to grow faster then a normal human baby would.

"Nine months." Kouga laughed at Kagome's comment. Kagome didn't see the humor in it so she just stared at Kouga laughing.

"It only takes youkai 3 months. That's a lot shorter then you humans." Kouga brushed a stray hair out of Kagome's face. "You only have a little over two months left. Look you already getting round." He said as he rubbed her stomach. Kagome had noticed she was putting on weight recently but she had no idea she was going to have the baby in two months.

"I only have two months. Kouga you have to come with me to meet my family. They will be so hurt if they don't get to meet you before the baby is here." Kagome thought about how her family would act when they met Kouga. 'Jii-chan is going to try to seal him with one his scrolls but they don't work. Souta will love him but momma? I wonder how she will take it.'

"It's a pup not a baby. It's not all human. Fine I'll go meet your family. We'll leave tomorrow." He shrugged and brought her back into their cave. "I'll make a fire and we'll eat. Then you should go to sleep. You need rest." He sat down and started making the fire. He had brought some meat from his hunt the day before with Ginta and Hakkaku to cook for Kagome. He put some on the fire and was about to turn around to give Kagome some when she leaped on him and ripped the food from his clawed hands. She was acting a lot like a youkai.

"Kagome what the hell? I was going to give it to you." He then watched in horror as she devoured the rest of the uncooked meat. 'What the hell is going on?' Kouga didn't know what to do.

"Kagome are you ok?" he said as he grabbed her arm.

She looked up at him and then down at her hands. She had blood all over them. And she realized what she had just done.

"That's weird. I was just so hungry when I smelled it that I had to have it. I ate it all. Were you hungry, I have some ramen you can eat." Kagome didn't know how to describe what just happened but she moved over to the fire and made Kouga some ramen hoping that would make up for her attacking him.

As the fire began to die down, Kagome felt very sleepy. "I'm not really sleepy." She yawned. "Let's do something so I can stay up."

Kouga had smirk on his face then shock it off. 'I can think of something that will keep her awake.' He then remembered he never asked her about what happened between her and Inuyasha.

"Kagome what happened between you and Inuyasha?" He motioned for her to sit down next to him. She did.

"He overheard me telling Shippo I was going to have you 'pup'." Kagome made sure to over emphasize the word 'pup' this time. "He got angry and told me to leave and he never wanted to see me again so I left."

Kouga didn't know if her should get mad or be happy. 'She came because she had nowhere else to go. Maybe she really doesn't love me?' Kagome saw the mix of emotion on Kouga's face.

"Kagome can I ask you something?" kagome nodded and waited for him to go on.

"Do you love me? I mean did you just come here because you had nowhere to go or because you loved me and wanted to be with me?"

Kagome hesitated for a second. Kouga took this as she didn't love him. He stood to leave. "Kouga-kun wait." Kagome said as she stood up and ran to his side.

"I love you but I did come her because I had nowhere to go." She put her head down and prayed he wouldn't leave her. He put his hand on her chin and moved her head so she would look at him. She was lost instantly in the blue pools of his eyes. He let go of her chin and closed the distance between them by kissing her.

A/ N: I apologize for the wait. I still haven't found a beta reader. I thought it would be a lot easier since the Inuyasha fandom is so large. I didn't want to make you guys wait but I definatly will not put out chapter 6 without a beta since it used to contain a lemon and I cut it to put it on I want to make sure it makes sense without the lemon and I really need a second opinion.
