Kouga
Disclaimer: Read the disclaimer from the seventh chapter
"Hello, Kagome." Kouga said as he appeared from the medallion.
Kagome's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but no sound came out. What's Kouga doing in the medallion? She thought. He is the one controlling its soul-sucking ways, isn't he?
He grinned at her, almost evilly. "I actually wasn't the demon controlling the medallion, you see." Kouga said. "Another demon lives inside it and was controlling it. I was its minion, you see."
Kagome nodded, taking in every word he said. "I almost thought you were the evil thing in the medallion. She scratched the back of her head, embarrassed and laughed nervously.
Sesshomaru, on the other hand, had his doubts. Kouga was not the friendliest demon around, even though, Sesshomaru knew, the wolf demon had a fetish for Kagome. He could smell death and hate all around the wolf demon, his aura black.
Should I tell Kagome? Sesshomaru asked himself, always contemplating his next move, thinking before he acted. She won't believe me and will completely avoid me if that happens. I can't allow that to happen. I won't be able to protect her. The demon thought negatively. What if she believes me? He asked himself. Unlikely, Sesshomaru thought rationally. He decided to keep it to himself.
Sesshomaru's appearance was acknowledged by Kouga, who, like Sesshomaru, had aged only by a year or two.
"So you've enlisted the help of another dog?" Kouga asked Kagome, treating Sesshomaru the way he had treated Inuyasha. Like a dunce.
Kagome flushed a bright red and Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, not about to let a wolf, who was prejudiced against dogs, get to him. But he wasn't going to let Kouga insult him either.
"I suppose a wolf is much better, Kouga." Sesshomaru said, as Kouga flushed red angrily. Sesshomaru spoke again before Kouga could after a short pause. "But, as you shouldknow I hate Inuyasha as much as you do."
Kouga glared at him. "I know, but that doesn't mean you're not like him, dog trash." The wolf demon spat out at the greater one.
Sesshomaru retorted. "It doesn't mean you're not either. At least I don't dress like I live in a cave." He pointed out Kouga's clothes with his eyes. Kouga's wolf-skin garments were still unchanged from the way they looked before. On the other hand, Sesshomaru was wearing an expensive black pantsuit, perhaps Armani. He only liked top brands.
Kouga glared at him and turned to Kagome, who felt like banging her head from the unsettling conversation the two demons were having.
"Say, Kagome, I have no place to go." Kouga said pititfully. "The demon imprisoned me only a few human years since the well locked." He made a sad face, as if distressed when remembering it.
Kagome ate it up. It was amazing how gullible she could be when it came to people she even somewhat trusted. "Oh, Kouga," Kagome began. "You can stay at my house. My mom is used to demons in the house. Sesshomaru has been in the house a few times.
With that statement Kouga subtly glared at Sesshomaru, Kagome not noticing. Kouga followed her into her house, mouthing a laugh at Sesshomaru when Kagome's back was turned.
Kagome stopped, as if remembering something, and turned to Sesshomaru and smiled. "Good-bye, Sesshomaru!" She said. "I'll see you tomorrow in Block Four!" Kagome waved and pulled Kouga into her house.
Sesshomaru put a hand on his forehead dramatically, and annoyed at himself for letting her go alone with Kouga. It was dangerous, for one thing! Kagome could be murdered or locked in a different magical object! It could have an even more powerful sealing curse!
Sesshomaru swore and walked a few steps back to lean against the wall of her garage. He pondered whether or not it was wise to have left Kagome alone with the obviously not trustworthy wolf demon.
What kind of score does Kouga have to settle to have such a thick black aura? Sesshomaru wondered as he inconspicuously shifted around on the hard stone wall, unconsciously trying to become comfortable. Demons of complete impurity like Naraku only have black auras so thick.
The great demon pulled a piece of his shiny white hair, annoyed that he could not come up with an answer. Sesshomaru knew the answer, of course. But it had happened over four hundred years ago, and he hadn't known Kouga well, anyhow. He couldn't be expected to remember on a whim, even though he had an intelligent demon mind.
Sesshomaru turned around and violently kicked the hard wall, not thinking about his great demon strength and what it would do to it. "Chikuso1," He said as the wall crumbled. He quickly jumped onto a box and grabbed the roof of the garage was going to fall with his right hand. With his left he quickly mixed the fallen pieces of stone back together. Sesshomaru walked quietly away from the house.
Where Hojo Is
Hojo strolled down Kagome's street, waving hello to all the neighbours. He was well known there, having visited Kagome so often, at least recently. It had been dangerous when she had had her fake sicknesses.
He had experienced the strangest thing earlier. He had appeared just like that in his living room, lying on the floor, his mother said, he was unconscious. The oddest thing was that the last thing Hojo had remembered before waking up was entering Kagome's garage. How odd. (AN: Ri-ight.)
He saw his teacher, Mr. Sukago walking from under Kagome's garage, which looked as if it was leaning on one side. Hojo blinked, not believing that the teacher he had thought was suspicious could be a stalker! Of Kagome's! He would have to tell. It wouldn't be right not to.
Hojo saw Mr. Sukago glance his way and quickly ducked between two trees in a neighbour of Kagome's yard. He couldn't afford to let Mr. Sukago see him. After all, the stalker teacher could be a psychopath. If he was, getting in his way would definitely not be the smartest thing to do.
He would have to do something about him.
1 – Um, it's not a nice word in Japanese.
Author's Note: Ooh, some demon action, huh? Isn't 'Mr. Sukago' so strong and heroic? Wow. And he has a student who thinks he is a stalker and potential psychopath. Lucky him!
Gee Wollikers! (Don't ask) Kouga was the demon inside the medallion? Who would have guessed! Sorry I coughed in the last chapter. Flu going around! And it actually was! I got so sick I was throwing up for three and a half hours. Wah! --
I'm going to make the story go medium fast because I can only have twenty six chapters because I label my chapters in my 'Fanfiction' folder by letter and I can't make it too long, but I will if necessary. Who knows? If this story is popular enough I might even make a sequel! Yay!
REVIEW!
Flames will be used to burn marshmallows, stuff them with caramel sauce, and feed to flamers! Mwahaha!
