Chapter Eight

Wow you guys are really good at guessing at what's coming next. Now that the votes are in I can make my decision, but I'm not telling you which ending won.

Kagome's POV

I smirked as I watched Inuyasha treading away. Koga tapped my shoulder and I turn around and looked at him. He had a most puzzled look upon his face. "Kagome, what the…"

"I'll tell you," I interrupted. "But not here." I took Koga into our little hut and began to explain. The more I went in depth of the story the more confused he became. His eyebrows were raised so high they were in danger of being lost in his black bangs and bandana. "You see," I concluded. "That's why I need your help." Koga looked at me like this was the first time he saw me.

"So, let me see if I'm getting this straight. You…want me…to pretend I'm dating you?" I nodded my head. He sighed. "This feels way over my head. Why do you want me to do this again?"

"Because," I said, with a touch of frustration. "I need to get back at Inuyasha. Please Koga," I grabbed his hands and looked at him sadly in the face. "I need your help with this. Only you can help me." He looked at me like I was insane. I grabbed hold around his waist, digging my face into his stomach. "Koga," I said in a small, choked up voice. "I need you. I need you to help me. I," I looked up at him with one tear falling down my soft cheek. He looked taken aback and sighed.

He patted me gently on the back and said," Kagome I understand what you're saying, but revenge is not the answer."

"But it's for Inuyasha. You know how he's treated me the last couple of years, leaving me alone with my bad thoughts. You on the other hand have always been there. Please just help me out one last time." I looked up at him with the most pitiful face I could muster. "You've always wanted to be with me, what's changed you mind?"

"This is different." He said kind of pushing me away. "I'm not going to be one of your tools to get back at Inuyasha."

"But it's not like I'm getting back with Inuyasha. If this turns out the way I hope he will leave us forever and we could finally have that family that we've been talking about." That did it. That got Koga on my side. He looked at me sweetly. He leaned forward, but hesitated. I smile reassuringly at him. "It's okay now Koga." I grabbed the back of his head and brought him closer to me where we began our first kiss as a couple.

For the next couple of weeks it was like me and Koga were attached at the hips. One was never seen without the other. Even though I could not see him I knew he was there, Inuyasha lurking in the shadows; Inuyasha, hiding behind every bush; Inuyasha, disappearing around every corner. It was starting to get annoying, but I knew my plan was working.

Even though I could not see him I knew he was jealous. Why else would he follow me and Koga around? But it's not like I cared that much about him anymore. I just want him to feel the pain he put me through. I knew this was cruel and unusual, but some one had to pay for this.

"Kagome?" says a distant voice. I fell out of my trance and crashed back into reality. "Are you okay? You seem distracted lately."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, look at your dinner. We've been eating for half an hour and all you've manage to do is push it around." I looked down at my plate to discover the statement was true. My dinner looked horribly mashed together into one big blob of food. I sighed. Who am I kidding, of course there's something wrong with me. No matter how much I try to deny it my heart still longs for Inuyasha.

I put down my eating utensils "I'm going to bed." I stated. I get up and make my way to my room when I feel a pair of strong arms wrapping around me. Koga hugged my tighter and I looked back at him.

"I'm sorry…" he whispered into my ear.

"For what?"

"This must be so hard for you." He turned me around to look at me. He looked at me with a saddened expression, it looked utterly pathetic. "I know you can never love me as much as Inuyasha, but being with you like this makes me so happy. But I am so selfish; you're in pain while I'm over joyed. I want to feel the pain with you."

"Koga, it's okay." I hold him in my embrace and I see that Kazoumi's door is opened a little bit. "Kazoumi go to bed!"

"Aw, but mom! I wanted to know if I could spend the night at Mizuki's!"

"No! Now go back to bed!" I waited several minutes before turning and saying to Koga, "Come on Koga let's talk, but not here. We might wake up Kazoumi." He nodded in agreement and we walked out of our hut.

I led him into the forest where Inuyasha was shot. I tried to get his spirits up, but all he ever did was mope. Then I had an idea. I reached down and grabbed his hand. He looked at me, blinking in confusion. I sat down on a fallen tree and patted the rough bark of the trunk. He joined me by my side. "Koga, you shouldn't feel this way. Yes sometimes it hurts, but I'm over it. I have you now."

I leaned forward, waiting for him to make his move. He hesitated, but kissed me gently. "That's enough!" shouted a voice from the shadows. I squinted my eyes to look for the owner of the voice when I saw Inuyasha appear from behind a tree. "Stop it now Kagome, who are you kidding! I get it, you're mad at me, but why do this? You know I'm sorry and that I love you."

I gave him a deadly glare. No matter how much truth there is in that, I can never forgive him. "Doesn't that count for anything?"

I looked down at my shoes so he couldn't see my face. "Inuyasha…" I stuttered, while my fists were shaking next to my hips. "Don't you get it! I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU ANYMORE!" Tears are flowing down my face and Inuyasha watched in horror. "PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE, I NEVER WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN!"

"Kagome," he said, in a calming voice. "Please, stop lying. You're lying to me and yourself. Just come back to me."

"I'm over you now Inuyasha, haven't I shown you that yet."

"No, I don't believe it. I won't believe."

"Fine then Inuyasha, just you wait. I will prove to you that I am over you and I am having a much better life with Koga even if I hurt you!" I grabbed Koga by the hand and dragged him back to our hut. "Kazoumi, I change my mind! You can spend the night at your friend's house!"

"Yay!" he yelled, with excitement. "Thanks mom!" he grabbed his bag and stormed out of the house. When I was sure he was gone I pinned Koga on the bed and whispered sensually in his ear, "You ready for me…"

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I've either been sad or partying my ass off. just so you know I'm turned 16 today! Yup. GO FEBRUARY 21 FOREVER!
