Chapter 5
A WEEK LATER
Kagome was now able to walk and almost run. Her wound was healing nicely thanks to Inuyasha. Those two didn't do much else although Inuyasha got a lick every now and then if he did something she liked. Kagome was outside lying in the sun with Sango, a little ways away was Inuyasha and Miroku watching them. "So, what do you think about Kagome now? She's been a lot nicer towards you." Miroku questioned. "She's just being nice to me because I saved her. I think she's strong for a dog, not to many dogs could survive a wound like that." Said Inuyasha smiling.
Miroku nodded, then Kagome opened her eyes and yawned. "Sango. I want to try to run today. I feel the need too." Said Kagome. Sango popped open one eye and said, "Are you sure? Your wound is still not completely healed and it could hurt." "I know but I'm willing to try so can we get up and try?" Said Kagome putting on her best puppy-dog face. "Oh alright but if you get even more hurt it's not my fault." Said Sango getting up, Kagome smiled then got up to only a lot slower. "Alright try not to hurt yourself." Said Sango.
Kagome nodded then crouched just like she was taught before. Inuyasha and Miroku came trotting over, "Hey, what's going on?" Inuyasha asked Sango. "She wants to try to run so I say let her if that's what she wants." Sango answered. Kagome then bent down even lower then shot off like a rocket across the clearing, it was like she was even hurt more like she was even better then before. It only took her 8 seconds to do it and this clearing was a lot bigger then the one that they trained at.
She trotted back to them smiling "That was great! I've missed that the most." "Wow! You're as fast as me if not faster! And you're injured, but how? Did it hurt?" Sango questioned. "Actually no, it didn't. I feel a lot better and a lot faster then ever before. I think being crimpled for so long has give in me more strength in my legs and an extra boost." Said Kagome. "I'm very impressed! That was so amazing!" Miroku exclaimed.
Kagome just smiled at him then suddenly realized it was getting late, "Guys we'd better go back inside, and it's getting late." "Ok. Let's go." Said Inuyasha turning to walk back to the cave. The others followed but he stayed back with Kagome. "That was great. I never would have thought that you'd be that fast especially when you're injured." Said Inuyasha softly so only Kagome heard him. "Thanks that means a lot coming from you." Said Kagome smiling at him then they both walked into the cave and sat down on their patch (it became both of theirs sense sleeping on it made it look like a giant patch).
Sango wanted to talk to Miroku tonight sense they haven't had a lot of time to themselves and with it being so close to mating season she thought that they should get to talk. They walked to the nearest clearing talked just between themselves, "Sango, we haven't talked like this in along time. I'm glad we are now." Said Miroku sitting across from her. "Me too. You know I'm actually excited for mating season to come, it is our first time. I'm glad you're going to be my first mate Miroku." Said Sango blushing.
"I'm glad to be yours my love." Said Miroku licking her paw causing her to blush more. "Tell me, how many pups do you think we'll have?" Miroku asked her. "Hopefully more then 3, I think 5 or 6." Said Sango. "I think that it doesn't matter, as long at we get at least one I'll be happy because it'll be our first pup together." Said Miroku lovingly. "Oh Miroku, now I remember why I love you. You're so nice and romantic. I love you." Said Sango nuzzling his muzzle. "I love you too Sango." He said touching his nose with her's. She blushed but pushed her's against his deepening their so-called kiss. Then Miroku broke the kiss and licked her ear. "Come on, we'd better be getting back." Said Miroku getting up. Sango nodded then they walked back side by side.
But right before they entered the clearing a silver black blur caught their eyes as it moved towards them through the darkness. Miroku crouched and growled, then moved in front of Sango protecting her. The thing never stopped moving, it finally moved into the moonlight and they saw that it was Astra, Sesshoumaru's mate. She is a black female wolf with little silver spots on her, she also has a silver ear, paw and muzzle, to most male wolves she was pretty but not to all.
"Hello Miroku, Sango." She said in her usual sexual tone, she's always trying to get other females angry by flirting with their mates but now that she has her own she's cut down. "Astra, your early this year. Where have you been?" Sango questioned (Sango doesn't pay to much attention to her snooty tone, that's why Astra's always trying to flirt with Miroku). "I know I'm early. I got bored and wanted to see my mate, my Sess. I was with my family and friends with the pine wolves at northern woods, it was far away so I decided to head back here early so Sess wouldn't get mad at me like last year." Said Astra sitting down.
"Speaking of which, Sess is in the cave. He talked much about you lately. I guess it's because Kagome's around." Said Miroku. "Kagome? Who's this Kagome? Is Sess two-timing me?" Astra growled. "No! She's Inuyasha's mate or hopefully mate. But just so you don't freak out, she's a dog that looks and acts like a wolf. She's been here for almost a month now." Said Miroku. "A DOG! Ha, ha, ha! I always knew Inuyasha would get the worst mate ever! I'm glad you told me, I might have freaked out, But now I'm tired so I'm going to go inside with Sess. You guys coming?" She laughed but then stopped and turned to go inside.
They nodded and followed her, as they entered almost everyone was asleep, only Sess and Tai were up. Astra smiled at him but her eye caught on the sleeping form of a dog next to Inuyasha causing her to growl a low growl. She just walked past her faster then sat down next to Sesshoumaru. "Hi hun. How have you been? Keeping up without me?" She asked him licking his muzzle. He smiled his small one sided smile then licked her muzzle and said, "I've been doing fine, I'm glad to see you again. But it's late so let's sleep." Said Sesshoumaru scooting over so she could lye besides him. She nodded then lay down and slept with him.
