Mrs. Higurashi is so Absent Minded
"I love you but I did come here 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.
Kagome could feel the heat his body gave off. It was like being next to fire. He seemed to get hotter the longer they kissed. Kouga ran his tongue over Kagome's lower lip and gently sucked on it. Kagome slowly opened her mouth and let his tongue explore her. Kouga took this opportunity to deepen the kiss and pull her closer to him. He wrapped one arm around her waist and put his hand behind her head to support her. Kagome responded by putting her arms on his chest. She could feel his body heat even through his chest armor.
When they finally broke the kiss, both were left gasping for air. Kagome looked up into Kouga's blue eyes and could see the love he felt for her. She wanted to desperately say something.
Kouga leaned forward and began kissing her neck. Kagome could feel his tongue touch her neck and gasped at the feel. Kouga kissed down Kagome's neck until her got to the spot where the neck meets the shoulder and started to lick at that spot. 'She already smells like me but I have to make sure no one can ever take her away from me. I have to mark her.' Kouga thought as he opened his mouth and bit down into Kagome's flesh. She let out a gasp of pain. He could already smell the salty scent of tear and knew she was crying. He stopped biting her and licked away the blood. When he was sure the wound had stopped bleeding he shifted his body to look at her.
"Gomen. I had to do it." He said in a childlike voice.
Kagome wiped away her tears. She couldn't be mad at him for biting her when he had such a cute face on. "Why did you bite me then?" she asked. She moved her hand up to rub the wound.
"You're my mate. I had to mark you. It will keep other youkai away from you."
"When you say other youkai, you mean Inuyasha. You don't have to worry. I'm not going to leave you. "She said as she hugged him.
Kouga shook his head. "No I didn't mean him. I meant it like… I don't think I know a way to explain it to you." He looked down at his hands as if he was still trying to think of a way to explain it.
"Do you mean like marriage?" She asked.
"What's marriage?" He looked even more confused then before.
"Humans who want to spend their lives with a human they love get married. They had a party and they invite their friends and family. They give each other wedding rings." She sighed and hopped he would understand.
"You mean like mates? Like you and me? I want to spend the rest of my life with you that's why I wanted you to be my mate." Kouga smiled at her.
"So it's like we are married now? But we are mates. So the mark is to let other youkai know I'm your mate?" She was beginning to understand.
"Yes. There are some things about being a mate that I will have to explain to you but not now. Go to sleep and we will talk about it tomorrow." Kouga lay down on his back and held Kagome to him. He put one arm around her waist underneath her and the other around her waist in front of her. Kagome put her head on Kouga's chest and fell asleep. Kouga couldn't help but breath in her scent. The smell was so intoxication that he fell asleep also.
The Next Day
Kagome awoke from her dreamless sleep when she smelt food. She quickly sat up and saw Kouga sitting by the fire cooking meat again. 'Why am I so hungry again? I feel like if I don't eat I'll die.' Kagome was on her feet and in minutes on top of Kouga once again. Kouga was smart enough to eat his food earlier.
"Ahhh! Kagome calm down. I'll give you food. You don't have to attack me every time you're hungry." He said as he began to give her food. He was once again amazed at how wild she got when she smelled food. 'Must be because of the pup.' He thought as he handed her more meat. After she was satisfied with the food, she stood up to go to bath.
"I'm going to take a bath. After I finish, we should leave to meet my family." Kagome walked away shaking her head. 'I hope I can go through with this.' After a quick bath, Kagome began to get dressed. She only had her underwear on and was struggling to get her shirt on. 'Why doesn't this fit? I wore it yesterday.' Kagome gasped when she looked down and saw her stomach. It was now bigger than it was the day before. 'What the hell am I going to do? I don't have any clothes that will fit.' She tried to put her skirt on but I would fasten. She wrapped a blanket around herself and went to get Kouga.
"Kouga we seem to have a little problem." She said as she adjusted the blanket to cover her. "My clothes don't fit, so I have nothing to wear."
Kouga looked up at her and started to laugh. "Are you wearing a blanket?" he couldn't stop laughing at his mate.
"Yes I don't have anything else to cover me." Kagome sighed and went through her bag again. She found a zip up sweater she brought in case it got cold. She put it on over the blanket and zipped it up. "Come on let's go Kouga." Kouga stood up and took her bag. When they got outside the cave Kouga picked Kagome up.
"Kouga put me down. I'm pregnant not hurt." She tried to wiggle free of his grasp but he only held tighter.
"I know you're not hurt. It would be faster if I carried you and ran." He said. He tightened his hold again and started to run towards the well. When they got to the well Kagome looked down the darkness of the well with a worried look.
"Only Inuyasha and I are able to go through the well. I'm not sure if you will be able to go through. I guess you should try holding on to me." Kouga wrapped his arms around her and they both jump through. Kagome closed her eyes praying it would work.
When she opened her eyes back up she looked up and was relived to see the well house ceiling. Kouga leaped out of the well and followed Kagome to her house. 'So this is where she is from? No wonder she wears those strange clothes.' Kouga stayed close to Kagome but was also looking at his surroundings.
"Mamma? Souta? Jii-chan? I'm home. Is anyone here?" Kagome called as she entered the house. Souta was the first to appear. His attention immediately went to the wolf youkai behind her. He squealed with happiness and raced towards them.
"Is he a youkai like Inu no oniichan?" Souta asked as he began to inspect Kouga. "He has a tail. Can I touch it?" Souta reached out and grabbed Kouga's tail causing him to jump.
"Oi! Let go! That hurts. I'm a full youkai unlike that hanyou Inuyasha." Kouga dashed behind Kagome to hide from her brother. Kagome gave Kouga a death glare before returning to look at her little brother.
"Souta stop it. Yes he's a youkai. Yes he has a tail. Don't pull on it." Kagome stood in front of the Kouga to keep her brother from him. "Where's Jii-chan and momma?"
Souta shrugged and followed Kagome and Kouga into the kitchen. Mrs. Higurashi was busy cooking in the kitchen and didn't notice her daughter's return.
"Kagome you're back" Mrs. Higurashi said as she hugged her daughter. "Who is this handsome young man?"
"Hi mom. Well umm that why I came back I had to talk to you..." Kagome tried to think of a way to explain the situation to her mother.
"Kagome, what are you wearing?" Mrs. Higurashi pointed to Kagome's outfit.
"Uh well mom. That's not important right now. I'll go change and you get Jii-chan. I have to talk to you both about something and I don't think Souta should hear." She smiled and then walked up the stairs to her room. Kouga followed behind her.
"Kagome are you ok?" Kouga asked as he closed her bedroom door behind him
"I'm fine. I'm just worried about what my family will think of you. I know Souta will love you because you're a youkai." Kouga looked away and waited for her to get dressed. After Kagome found a baggy shirt and a pair of sweatpants she turned to Kouga.
"Maybe we should get you something better to wear." She walked to her closet and began to look through the cloths that she had taken from her father's things. "Here we go. Put these on and then we will go talk to my family." She handed Kouga a pair of baggy sweat pants and plain white tee shirt.
"Why what's wrong with what I'm wearing?" he asked as he looked down at his outfit. He thought he looked fine.
"Kouga in my time people don't dress like that." Kouga shrugged and figured he wouldn't argue. After he was dressed they walked back down to the kitchen. Her mother and her grandfather were already sitting at the table.
"Umm momma, Jii-chan. I have to talk to you guys." Kagome looked down at the floor. Kouga could tell she was nervous. He decided to speak for his mate.
"Kagome and I are mates and we're going to have a pup." He was sure they would be satisfied with his answer.
Mrs. Higurashi and Jii-chan both fell out of their chairs. "No youkai will take me granddaughter. Take this you evil sprit." Jii-chan yelled as he threw a scroll at Kouga. Of course, it didn't work. "NANI! It didn't do anything." Jii-chan sat back down and cried over his failed magic. "I don't understand. It ancient magic passed down by my ancestors." He said in between sobs.
"Kagome why did he throw a piece of paper at me?" Kouga quietly ask Kagome.
"Don't mind him. He's old." Kagome said as she shook her head in embarrassment.
"Kagome what does he mean by 'you're his mate and you're having his pup'?" Mrs. Higurashi asked. She tried to ignore her sobbing father.
"Well being mates is like being married. And I'm pregnant." Kagome closed her eyes and waited for her mother to scream her head off.
"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" squealed Mrs. Higurashi "I'm going to have a grand baby! Oh welcome to the family son! Wait. What's your name?" Mrs. Higurashi was doing a dance in place with joy.
"My name is Kouga and I'm the prince of wolves." He looked at her like she should be bowing to him.
"Oh Kouga welcome to the family." Mrs. Higurashi squealed as she threw her arms around Kouga. Both Kagome and Kouga looked in confusing as Mrs. Higurashi went back to doing her happy dance sing 'I'm going to be a grandma'.
"Kagome is she going to be ok?" Kouga asked as he moved away from his new mother.
"She's fine she just really happy. I think." Kagome then turned to her still crying grandfather. "Jii-chan do you have anything to say about this?"
Jii-chan looked up from his sobs. "Well since he's not evil I guess he's fine." He then went back to crying over his failed magic. Kagome pulled Kouga to follow her. She walked upstairs to her room and he followed her inside closing the door.
"Kouga do you want to take a bath?" Kagome went over to her desk and started collecting her schoolbooks. 'I guess I don't need these since I'll have to drop out of school now.'
"Kagome how can I take a bath inside?" Kouga watched her closely.
Kagome laughed at his naiveness. (A/N: I know naiveness is not a word but it fits what I was trying to say.) "Kouga in my time you can take a bath in the bathroom. Come with I'll show you." Turned to leave but stopped at her closet to get Kouga some new sweatpants another tee shirt and a pair of boxers she had been wearing as shorts.
When they got into the bathroom, she showed Kouga how to use the tub and the sink and toilet so he wouldn't get scared and try to attack them. When the water was ready she gave him the clothes and then turned to leave. Kouga grabbed onto Kagome's arm to keep her from leaving.
"Wait" he tried to put on his cutest face so she couldn't resist. "Stay with me while I bath." He moved forward and kissed her hoping that this would convince her to stay.
"Kouga-kun I can't I have to..." Kagome couldn't think of one good reason as to why she couldn't stay with him. 'Why can't I enjoy his company? I'm not doing anything wrong. Wait. Kouga naked while I sit here no bad idea Kagome!' "My family is still awake. It would be wrong for me to stay. I'll be in my room when you are finished getting bathed and dressed." Kagome then turned in left.
After she left Kouga undressed and got into the tub. 'Wow! This water is hotter then a hot spring but it was inside. I wonder what magic Kagome used to make this work. I wish she had have stayed. She's my mate. There is no reason why she can't be here while I'm naked. She's seen it before. I should explain the whole mate thing to her.' Kouga finished bathing and then got dried. He began to fumble through the clothes Kagome gave him. 'Now Kagome told me to put these things on first.' Kouga put on the boxers but found them uncomfortable for his tail. He used his claws to cut a small hole in the back of the shorts for his tail to get out. 'That's better.' He didn't see the point of the pants so he just put on the shirt and went to Kagome's bedroom. When he got to the door he called her name to make sure he didn't scare her when he went in.
"Kagome?" he called in a soft whisper.
No answer.
"Kagome?" he called again a little louder.
No answer.
He turned the knob and entered the room. The lights were off but he could see Kagome lying on her bed. He could tell by her breathing that she was asleep. He quietly walked over to her bed and sat down on the side. Kagome turned over to face him and he stopped moving. When he was sure she was still sleeping her reached his hand down to move a stray hair out of her face. Kagome moved a little bit and whispered, "Kouga..." as she turned into his hand. Kouga froze again. 'She's dreaming about me?' He moved his body to a better spot on the bed. He lie down next to her and put his arm around her waist. "Kagome?" He asked quietly. She moved a little but didn't seem to wake up. He moved a little closed until his lips were right next to her ears.
"Kagome?" he asked again. Kagome still didn't wake up.
Kouga moved closer to Kagome's neck and started to kiss the bit mark her left the day before. He gently began to lick around the mark. Kagome stirred a little and let out a soft moan. Kouga took that, as she liked what he was doing so he continued. He placed small kisses along her jaw leading back down to the bite mark. Kagome began to moan a little louder. Kouga moved his body over her and pulled back the collar of her shirt to expose more of her neck. He kept kissing on both sides of her neck and up her jaw. His blood screamed for him to touch more of her skin. He knew he had to but felt terrible because she was sleeping. 'I'll just have to wake her up then.'
Kouga leaned down to her ear and called her name again. "Kagome, wake up." He said in his normal voice. Kagome's eyes shot open at the sound of her name.
"Is something wrong?" She blushed when she noticed he was on top of her. "Kouga what are you doing?" Kagome tried to sit up but was stopped by the youkai on top of her lower body.
"This" He leaned down and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Kouga started running his tongue along her lips begging for entrance. She opened her mouth and let him inside. Their tongue began to playfully fight with each other inside her mouth. Kouga pulled away and began kissing down her jaw line and neck. He slipped his hands down to her shirt. He needed to touch her. He needed to feel her flesh. He could feel his youkai blood shouting. Telling him to take her. He tried to ignore if but he knew he couldn't. He knew he had to stop her but it felt so good.
"I love you Kagome." He said as he kissed her forehead.
"I love you too." They both slipped into dreamland.
A/N: Another chapter that has been cut to remove the lemon. The end is awkward and it's mainly because there was a lemon at that part. Sorry I had to take it out but I had to make the story follow the rules of the site so my account isn't canceled again.
I still haven't found a beta reader and now it's starting to bother me. I really don't want to hear any complaining about spelling mistakes and crap because I've tried again and again to get help with the story.
