The next day
after they made camp kagome sensed a jewel shard more likely she
sensed Kouga all of her energy was concentrated on talking to Kouga
kagome didn't tell anybody because Kouga had camped a short
distance away she wasn't going to let him tell Inuyasha he mated
her so to ''back off mutt'' and she also had a incredible
almost god guided urge to beat Kouga into a bloody pulp so when
everyone was asleep she quietly left and surprised herself at how
quiet she was Inuyasha didn't even wake up (he was dreaming of
strangling Kouga and was too happy to wake up because he heard
rustling he always heard rustling...
Kagome was barely a half
mile from camp when Kouga scented her and came to her running kagome
didn't need her shard sense to tell her he was coming the tell tale
whirlwind told her he was coming Kouga reached for her lips as kagome
looked up and then pulled away from him ''what's wrong
kagome?'' Kouga asked as she shook her head and glared at him so
fiercely he stumbled backwards ''you jerk taking advantage of me
being drunk'' ''umm... Kagome haven't we talked about
this?'' asked Kouga feeling not just a little uneasy ''I know
we have, but I'm pregnant you jerk!'' his face lightened almost
immediately ''thank you Kagome for-.'' ''thank you
nothing! I'm too young! And I still haven't told Inuyasha so
please don't tell him please Kouga! I'm going back to my camp
don't show up until tomorrow at least'' ''Kagome I'm
coming with you it's bad enough I had to rely on mutt face to
protect you but now I'm not taking any chances because your holding
my child now and soon it'll be hard for you to walk I don't think
mutt face will take care of you right you cant change my mind kagome
I'm going back to tell Hakkaku and Ginta that I'm leaving for a
while, I'll be back soon kagome'' Kouga turned and left
trailing behind a tornado kagome turned towards camp walking slowly
trained in thought she figured to tell Sango first and make up a
excuse for taking Sango with her but... she just couldn't think of
one she woke Sango up and told her to follow her Sango bleary eyed
barely noticed and stumble walked into the forest with kagome
''Kouga'scominginthemorningpleasehelpmethinkofaexcuse''
Sango brushed her eyes and said ''what?'' Kagome clenched and
unclenched her hands and took a deep breath ''Kouga is coming
tomorrow in the morning.'' she breathed Sango looked at her in
disbelief ''we'll need to tell Miroku and Inuyasha that he's
coming and somehow make Kouga not tell Inuyasha your pregnant yet.''
he wont say anything about that explained Kagome. ''He told me he
wouldn't she said...'' ''we'll have to keep Inuyasha
unaware'' Sango said almost to herself ''Kagome try not let
Inuyasha see your stomach it's swelled a little bit'' Kagome
looked at her stomach it almost looked normal but it was like she put
on a bit of weight ''thanks for waking me Kagome but we'll just
have to deal with Kouga when he comes'' Kagome looked downcast
and Sango pitied her younger friend and patted her shoulder then they
both went back to the camp and almost immediately fell asleep.
