A/N: Hey There all of you kind readers and reviewers! I know it has been quite a while since I've updated hasn't it? Oh well. But to make up for it, I have another long chapter for you! I would have posted it yesterday, but it kinda...uum... forgot to include InuYasha and Ginta and Hakkaku. .; newayz, have fun reading. This mainly consists right now of Kouga and Kagome coming closer together as a couple. So if you don't like this pairing, then I suggest you either wait for the next chapter to get uploaded, or just go read another story. Preferably my other story
.o0O0o. .o0O0o.
Kagome: Well at least you're uploading another chapter. I mean it's been sooo long, I think my hairs are turning grey.
Jassy: Well I'm So sorry, but it's kinda been hard with life and all. I know that's not much of an excuse, but whatever.
Kouga: -gives Jassy a much needed neck massage- that feel better?
Jassy: oh, much. Thanks a lot. –gives Kouga a chaste kiss on the lips-
Kagome: -growls- Whoa! I have been spending way too much time in the fudal era. I'm starting to act like InuYasha and Kouga. But anywayz, get off of my boyfriend!
-everyone stares at Kagome-
Kagome: What?
Kouga: Well anywayz, Kagome I picked this guy up on the way here. He was crying about not seeing Kagome, so I brought him along. –throws Shippo onto Kagome's lap-
Kagome: Shippo! You're here just in time!
Shippo: I've got another poem! Wanna hear it?
Kagome: sure
Shippo:Kouga should be with Kagome
As it alwayse should be
But Jassy doesn't own InuYasha
And she doesn't own me
So if any of you people decide to sue
Jassy'll have Kouga come after you.
.o0O0o. .o0O0o.
Chapter 7
When two worlds meet
As Kagome continued to play with Kouga's hair, she continued to hum the tune "Once Upon A December" Kouga, finding this melody quite enticing, was completely calm, and nearly fell asleep in Kagome's lap.
'Just like InuYasha, when I first saw him in his human form' Kagome tried not to cry. Kouga, who not only noticed her distress, but also smelt the salt from her tears, sat halfway up, and stared at her in the eyes.
Kagome, not being able to handle it any longer, leaned into Kouga's welcoming embrace, and sobbed softly. Kouga took a deep breath in, and was yet again intoxicated by her scent. 'How could Mutt-Face be so blind to not notice what he had, straight in front of him?' Kouga sighed, and tightened the hug.
Kagome felt much better now, and took in a deep breath as well, trying to calm her nerves. 'Gods, do I love this smell.' Kagome felt sleepy. Kouga would have loved for her to fall asleep with her in his arms, had to nudge Kagome awake.
Trying to lighten the mood, Kagome asked Kagome a question. "Kagome, what was that song you were just singing?" Kagome just looked at him, and then giggled.
"That song was called 'Once Upon A December,' Kouga." Kagome told him, and Kouga laid his head back down on her lap, and she continued to play with his jet black hair. "Do you want me to sing the song with the actual words?" Kouga nodded. Kagome cleared her throat.
"Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song, someone sings
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory"
Kouga laid down on her lap, and relaxed, deeply inhaling his woman's scent. She was enticing, and she didn't even know it.
"Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a December"
Kagome paused to catch her breath. She wasn't used to singing the actual lyrics of the song.
"Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a sliver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Far away long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it urns to remember
And a song
Someone sings...
Once upon a Deceeeeeeeeeeemmbbeeeeeeeeerrr (stretch the whole note in December)
Kagome just looked at his woman with eyes wide open. "I never knew you could sing like that!" He exclaimed "Why haven't you ever sung like that before?"
"Well you never really asked me to." Kagome winked, trying to act smart. Kouga just stared at her for a second, lost in what she was saying. Kagome called in the doctors, for the last medical exam, since Kouga was much calmer now. The doctors reluctantly came in.
"There! Good as new. Just don't forget to apply this cream twice a day for about two weeks, and the burns should heal." The doctors instructed, passing Kagome a little tube of ointment. Kagome thanked the doctor, and the medical examiners left, half running. They didn't want to get the strange man in a bad mood again, for they valued their lives.
"Well Kouga, we'd better go now. I bet Mama's outside waiting for us." Kouga nodded, and leaned on the door, attempting to open it. Kouga continued to struggle with the door, insisting on acting manly in front of his woman. Kagome stifled a giggle, remembering that the door was a pull door on this side of the room.
Kagome pushed Kouga out of the way gently, and pulled the door open. Kouga, who was quite embarrassed, took the door handle from his woman, and held it open, insisting that she go first. Kagome yet again stifled a laugh.
Once the medical exam was over, and the Higurashi family and the notorious wolf demon left the hospital, Kagome's mom had run down to a coffee shop to get herself a coffee. Kouga, who had only ever smelt tea before, had no idea what this strange hot liquid was. Kagome nudged her mother, and the elder Higurashi smiled.
"Here Kagome, why don't you and your friend here go and get some coffee?" Kagome's mom said, handing Kagome some money. "I'm sure that he's getting a little curious." Kagome smiled, and ran towards the nearest coffee hut.
Once at the counter, Kagome ordered. "I'll have a medium French Vanilla, and a medium Frozen Hot Chocolate, and a cinnamon bun please, the extra large ones." Kagome said. Realizing that she didn't have enough, she took out her purse from her skirt pocket, and paid the man.
Kagome went and sat down at the nearest seat. Kagome motioned for Kouga to sit across from her, and he did, still sniffing the coffee and the cinnamon bun. Kagome sighed, remembering that Kouga does have super sensitive senses, all five of them to be exact. "Here Kouga," Kagome sighed, handing Kouga the frozen hot chocolate. "It's called Frozen Hot Chocolate. It's chocolate, so I'm not sure if you can have it, but just try it." Kouga took it from Kagome, but not before Kagome placed a straw in it. That confused Kouga.
"What's that supposed to do?" Kagome couldn't help but giggle. She explained how a straw worked, and Kouga attempted drinking the frozen hot chocolate, but not without getting a major case of brain-freeze.
"AAAAAAAAH! GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!" Kouga was screaming and jumping around waving his arms. Kagome tried to explain it to Kouga that it would pass, but Kouga wouldn't listen. He just kept on jumping around, clutching his head and pulling out his hair by the roots.
Kagome had to try and run after the notorious wolf demon who was causing a ruckus from a slight brain-freeze. Once the freeze had passed, Kouga returned to where he and his woman had been sitting. He looked at her, a mocking grin plastered onto his face, and he spoke.
"That was great Love! Is there anymore?" Kagome fell over anime style. Kouga, being the usual clueless self that he is, just stared at her, before taking another sip of the Frozen Hot Chocolate without mastering the weapon of the straw. And, big surprise, Kouga had gotten another brain-freeze.
'Do I ever need another rosary!' Kagome shook her head. "Sit Boy!" She said out of habit, but then realizing that had no effect, the continued to run after the hyper wolf demon. Once the brain-freeze had worn off, Kagome showed Kouga how to use a straw properly.
"Don't suck it in like it's air! I mean tone it down a little, k?" Kouga nodded, and attempted drinking the Frozen Hot Chocolate once more. Satisfied that Kouga wouldn't go off and most likely rip out all of his hair, thinking that he had been possessed by some mind controlling demon, Kagome sipped on her now cooled French Vanilla Coffee. 'Oh great, it's cold. Oh well. I don't have enough money for another one. This'll have to do. I don't think I should give any to Kouga though. If he could barely stand brain-freeze, how bad do you think piping hot coffee would be?'
Kagome then stood up, and started walking away, munching on her cinnamon bun. Kouga, who didn't want his woman to be walking alone in this strange land, not knowing what could happen to her, scrambled to his feet, and in a second, was right there next to his woman. Kagome was not shocked, since she had sensed the two jewel shards coming towards her.
"Kagome, where are we going?" Kouga questioned. Kagome didn't look at him in the eye, but answered, "Well we kinda ditched my mom, so I think we have to get back to her." Kouga, being slow in the head, did nothing but follow his woman to wherever she was going.
Once the two got to the crosswalk, Kouga rushed in front of his woman, placing one arm in front of her, signifying that she shouldn't move, or something would attack her. And something did come rushing by. It was a strange looking Demon that Kouga had never seen before. The demon then halted just a little further up ahead of the two, and then a man stepped out, and walked perfectly normal as if nothing had happened.
"Kagome, did you see that? That demon just spit that man out! But the man looks perfectly fine!" Kagome sighed. Yes, she had forgotten to tell Kouga about cars. Before she could stop Kouga, he was already running towards the parked car, fists raised, just in case the unknown demon decided it was going to attack.
"Kagome, get back! You don't know what this beast might do!" Kagome gave another exasperated sigh.
"KOUGA!" Kagome yelled, more like a demand. Kouga flinched, but could not ignore his woman calling him. Kouga gave up on the strange demon, and returned to his woman's side, wrapping his arm around her waist. Kagome, on reflex, leaned closer to Kogua. Kouga, who was kind of shocked, smirked, and then continued to walk on.
"So, we're going to your Mom right?" Kagome nodded. "Okay." Kouga picked up the young Higurashi bridal style yet again, and zoomed off to greet the mother of Kagome. With help of the two Shikon shards in his legs, Kouga was right next to Kagome's mother in under five seconds.
"JEEZ Kouga! Couldn't you have given me more of a warning?" Kagome panted, clutching her chest, trying to calm her over beating heart. Kagome's mom, turned around suddenly, and was quite startled seeing her daughter in the arms of the wolf demon.
"Okay you two! I think it's time we head back now. I'm driving." Kagome's mom took out the car keys, and started walking to her minivan.
Kagome took Kouga's arm, and let him towards the minivan. Kagome tried her best to calm down Kouga's nerves bout this "Strange Demon of Which he had Never Seen Before"
Once Kagome had gotten Kouga into the minivan though, she found herself continuously having to have to hold onto Kouga's hand, trying to get his attention so he wouldn't jump around so much if something happened either inside of the car, or outside.
Almost at the shrine, a thought had just occurred to Kagome. Since Kouga had the two shards in his legs, he could pass through the well to come to Kagome's world. But, what if Kouga was unable to pass through back to his own world? Kagome was panic-stricken.
Kouga, who smelt Kagome's fear, unconsciously draped his arm around Kagome's shoulder, and pulled her in for a slight hug. Waiting for a slap that Kouga would usually get for taking a move on her, Kouga was quite surprised that Kagome did nothing but lean her head onto his shoulder. Kouga was yet again stunned for a slight moment.
Once the little family got to the Higurashi Shrine, Kouga insisted on holding the door open for Kagome and her mother. Kagome's mom, who had gone shopping for some things, was carrying in bags and bags, and nearly stumbled on the stairs to the shrine. Kouga, being the gentleman, err, gentledemon he is, helped lighten the load for Mrs. Higurashi, and carried in about ten bags of stuff himself.
"Mama, what on earth could you have bought?" Kagome asked, slowly heading up to her room before curiosity got the best of her. The elder Higurashi gave a warm smile, just like her daughters.
"You'll see tomorrow" And with that, Kagome went up to her room, being closely followed by a very curious wolf demon.
"Kouga, how about I show you around the upstairs?" Kagome gave another one of her warm smiles, half wishing him to say yes. Kouga of course, nodded, and followed Kagome around like a lost puppy. Kagome walked towards her room first.
"Lemme show you my room....or, den as you would call it. They both walked up to the front of her door, she opened it and motioned for him to walk in. The first thing that caught Kouga's attention was how bright her room was.
"Kouga, this is my room. Or den, as you would call it." Kagome explained everything as she made her way around the room. "This is my dresser with all of my school work, as you can see, I've had to do a lot of work lately, so that's kinda why I haven't been in your world all that much lately." Kagome confessed as she tried to tidy up her dresser. As Kagome turned on the little lamp in the corner of her dresser to help her see better, Kouga's curiosity got the best of him. As soon as Kagome turned her back for a split second, Kouga had the whole lamp in his hand, and had just taken the light shade off.
"AAAAAAAAH!" Kouga yelled. He had just been temporarily blinded by the miniature sun in that little container. Kouga, who was then lying on the floor, scurried backwards, never taking his panic-stricken eyes off of the back of the lamp. Kagome whirled around, to find that her lamp was now sprawled across the floor, with a Kouga quite shocked and scared. If Kagome had strained her ears hard enough, she would have heard a slight whimpering coming from Kouga.
"Kagome! Kagome! Where are you?" Kagome was searching around everywhere for his woman. 'Of Course, he found my lamp. And he just happened to stare into it' Kagome mused. Kagome took Kouga's shoulders and squeezed it. Kouga did calm down a bit, but was still flailing his arms around, trying to get his eyesight back.
"Kouga, ssh. It's alright. Just look towards me. If you can hear my voice, direct your eyes towards me" Kagome asked. Kouga averted his eyes towards his woman, and calmed down considerable, knowing that she was safe. Slowly but surely, Kouga's eyesight returned and he could concentrate properly on his woman infront of him.
"Oh Kagome! Thank god you're alright. How the hell did you get a sun into that little...thing?" Kouga asked gripping Kagome's shoulders, eyes wide open. Kagome tried to wriggle free from his grasp, but found it pointless to do so.
"Uh, Kouga? Could you let me go now?" Kagome asked, out of breath. The tighter Kouga gripped her arms, the more he was crushing her ribs with his awesome strength. Kouga did lessen down a little, but he still kept the pressure on her arms.
"Kouga, that was a lamp. And the sun, that was actually something we call a lightbulb. It's almost as powerful as the sun, but only if you stare straight into it. So next time, if there is a next time, you might not want to stare straight into it," Kagome gave a slight chuckle. "How about I show you around the rest of the room?" Kouga gave a slight nod, and stood behind Kagome, not exactly sure anymore about what else might pop up behind him and attack.
"Kouga, I'll be back in a few minutes okay? I just need to freshen up," Kagome explained as she walked towards her drawers and took out some pyjamas. "Try not to make too much noise okay? Souta's sleeping." Kouga nodded, and went sniffing around as Kagome left the room. Kouga found his way to Kagome's dresser.
"Hhhmmmm..." Kouga picked up a pen and scribbled across a loose piece of paper he found on Kagome's dresser. He picked up the pen and sniffed. It. "It's still got ink in it, I can smell it." Then he found a pencil. He picked that up and drew on the paper again. "Hmm..it must be a kind of strange magic" Kouga stated as he picked up the pencil and sniffed it.
Just then, with his demonic hearing, he heard footsteps coming towards his woman's den. "INTRUDER!" Kouga yelled, and was poised to strike the next person who dared to enter his woman's lair.
"Kouga, shush! It's just me!" Kagome whispered hotly. Kouga just let down his defence, and went over to take his woman's side. Kagome was wearing a skin tight halter/belly top, and boxers for pyjamas. Kouga yet again could not peel his eyes off of his woman.
Kouga let out a protective growl, with a perverted smirk on his face. Not being able to control his demonic instincts, Kouga took Kagome in his arms, and started to lick Kagome's neck, cleansing the tender spot where one day he would mark her as his own. Kagome, as if on reflex, tilted her neck over some more, to give Kouga more area. "You look good love," Kouga whispered, breathing hot air into her ear. Kagome shivered, melting into Kouga's strong, warm chiselled chest.
Kouga could barely stand it. He knew that if he couldn't control his instincs, he would do something terrible to Kagome, which he was sure he'd regret later on. He could smell that no one had taken her, since she still remained pure and untouched.
Kagome snapped back to reality. She quickly moved away from Kouga, who seemed slightly content, but mostly hurt that his woman would refuse him. "Uh, Kouga? I need to take a shower. I'll be right back." Kagome explained, and half ran out of the room.
'Just like the doctors' Kouga was hurt. But he didn't want to make Kagome sad or hurt, so he just let his nose take him wherever. Once Kagome had returned from her shower, and her hair was dried, Kouga had to go over and see her. "Kagome, you do know how wonderful you smell now right?" Kagome giggled slightly.
"How about I show you what all of these things do, instead of you just sniffing it, or destroying it?" Kouga looked at her slightly confused, but nodded reluctantly.
"See, over here, I already told you I do my work," Kagome looked at her papers. "And I see you found my pens and pencils."
"And I sleep over here, on this. I think you'll find it more comfortable than pieces of straw." Kagome teased, walking towards her bed. Kouga gave her a confused look. Kagome yawned.
"Speaking of which, I think we had best we got to bed." Kouga continued to look at her with a stunned expression, before hopping onto Kagome's bed, arms wide open as if expecting a hug. He had on his famous perverted and cocky smirk.
"I knew that you couldn't resist me Kagome. Please enjoy yourself, but we can't forget we can't make too much noise. After all, we don't wanna wake up your sleeping family." Kagome just stared at him in confusion, and then her face went from embarrassed to angry, as Kouga's words finally sunk in.
"On the floor Mac," Kagome pulled Kouga's supersensitive ears, causing Kouga to wince in pain. Kagome couldn't help but roll her eyes. "But I know how I'll make it more comfortable for you. I mean I know that you can sleep on stone and straw, but if you want, I could get you a blanket and pillow." Kagome more like stated and left the room to get a comforter and pillow.
Kouga, who always wanted attention from his woman, had acted like a little child once it came to going to sleep. "Kagome?" he asked
"Yeah?" Kagome responded drowsily.
"Can you tuck me in?" Kouga give a slight smirk, knowing how much Kagome loved children and that she couldn't resist him. Kagome sighed. She went over to switch the lights off, and turned back to Kouga.
Kagome gasped. She knew Kouga's eyes were bright blue, sure everyone knew that. But what she didn't know was that they were basically neon blue! They glowed in the dark quite brightly, and they still remained the same bright blue as always.
Kagome, with the thanks to Kouga's bright blue eyes lighting the room, was able to sit down next to Kouga, and tuck him in. Kagome placed the pillow behind Kouga's head, and pulled the comforter up to his breastbone. Kagome moved closer to Kouga and laid down on her stomach. Once she was eyelevel with Kouga, she turned her head to see him properly.
"So Kouga, why did you want me to tuck you in?" Kagome smirked. Kouga didn't answer, but instead turned over to gaze at his woman.
"Do I really need a reason?" Kouga put on the best puppy face that he could. Kagome couldn't help herself. She sat up on her knees, and leaned down to give Kouga a quick kiss on the forehead. "Good night Kouga" She murmured.
"Good night love." Kouga whispered. Then Kagome fell into a deep sleep.
Once her breathing was even, and Kouga was sure she was asleep, he went over, sat on the bed, which caused Kagome to move over slightly, thinking it was Buyo. By doing so, Kagome was leaving Kouga enough room to lay down next to her. Kouga got under the covers, and protectively placed his arms around her waist, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before he too went to sleep.
-¯--¯- With InuYasha -¯--¯-
"Inu Yasha, I though you said you knew where Kagome was!" Shippo cried out, missing his mother more and more.
"I do! She went to the well! And she's probable gone to her time again. Besides! If she left us, then good for her!" InuYasha retorted. Miroku stepped up calmly behind Inu Yasha and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"InuYasha, is it possible for her to have sealed the well?" Kikyo snapped her head around quite violently.
"Yes it is. So InuYasha, I would strongly suggest you go and get her. Do not forget that she has ten of the sacred jewel shards, and her friend that went with her has two." InuYasha was wide eyed.
"You mean..." InuYasha didn't want to know the truth. "Kouga went with Kagome, and she could have sealed the well!" Kikyo nodded.
"That is why we must go and see if the well has been sealed." Kikyo exclaimed; her voice tinted with anger. She did not like having the fact that HER man was in love with her reincarnation.
-¯--¯- with Ginta and Hakkaku -¯--¯-
"C'mon Ginta! He's gotta be here! Keep looking!" Hakkaku said worriedly.
"Well I can't smell 'im! And it's not like he'd leave us..." Ginta trailed off
"It's just that he's been gone for two days, and that sometimes he does ditch us..."
"C'mon! we gotta find him!" Ginta and Hakkaku chimed at the same time, and ran off, searching for their missing leader.
.o0O0o. .o0O0o.
Kagome: There you go! Now everybody was in the story.
Kouga: And I got my woman!
Jassy: Well at least you all know that Kouga's pack is very worried about the whereabouts of their leader. See Kouga, they miss you!
Ginta: Hey! So Kouga was in sister's time!
Hakkaku: How'd he do that?
Ginta: -shrugs shoulders- I dunno.
Sesshomaru: Now if you don't mind, I'll be returning to you're other story. I do believe I get more respect in that story.
Jassy: -sends her miko spiritual energy to send a rosary around Sesshomaru- hhm
Sesshomaru: What the hell? –tries to break the necklace, but fails miserable-
Jassy: Fluffy, Osuwari!
Sesshomaru: -falls four feet into the ground-
Shippo: Wow! That was pretty deep! Kagome, looks like you're only second best now!
Kagome: -ruffles Shippo's hair- o hush, you.
Jassy: And thanks SOOO MUCH for all of your kind reviews! And a special thanks to all of you who review more than once! .
