Stepping into the heat of the misting shower, Kagome let the shower head beat down upon her back, soothing the heaviness of her tears. If she weren't so lonely, she'd feel happy.

Reaching for the strawberry-mango coconut hair shampoo (it actually smells really good and is pretty fragrant), Kagome began the quick work of cleaning herself of all evidence that she'd been crying.

InuYasha had made up his mind. He was going to the future to get his Kagome. He would later tell her how he felt once he calmed down. She always made him calmer when she was close to him.

Lunging into the well, InuYasha waited to feel the cool warmth of the portal, but instead, he felt the hard pain in his ankle, as he hit solid ground, breaking his ankle.

"DAMMIT WHY CAN'T I GET THROUGH?"

Sliding the shower door open, Kagome reached for a towel, and quickly dried, putting on a white tank top, a pair of underwear and a pair of baby blue shorts.

Drying her hair as she headed to bed, she opened the window of her room, and gazed out, her eyes failing to notice the black and blue swirls that had come from the inside of the well, but rather set on the place where the moon should have been. 'Hmmm...it's the new moon...'

Yawning, she laid down to sleep, exhausted from all she had done that day. Pulling the covers tighter to her, she fell into a comfortable sleep.

Three figures entered the room of the sleeping maiden. One was female, the other two male.

"WILL YOU STOP STEPPING ON MY TAIL!" a voice yelped softly in pain.

"Oh, quit your whining I did not." The other man replied.

"Did too."

"Shut it both of you, before you wake her up!" the girl hissed. "Or worse yet I tell Kouga that you were the reason she woke up."

"Please don't Ayame, Kouga would not be pleased with us!" the begged.

Smiling, the female glanced at the girl in front of her. "Then Hakkaku, go pack Kagome a bag of cloths, and Ginta, help me carry her. We have to get her home by midnight."

"Yes Madame!" they replied, quickly going to their assigned jobs.

Kouga curled into himself. His wolves surrounded him completely, attempting to warm their leader. He was cold, freezing.

The fine hairs on the back of his neck stuck up at attention, even though the room itself was very comfortable.

Where was Kagome? He had sent Ayame and Ginta and Hakkaku out to get her over an hour ago. The new moon was never any good for a youkai without a mate. Though Kagome had yet to agree to become his mate, she should be able to get him back to normal mostly.

Perhaps during the next two weeks he could get her to become his mate. He'd surely try his best, even though she'd set her sights way to low on that stupid inu-bastard.

Suddenly, another pain wave racked his body and he whimpered, causing his wolves to scoot closer to him and begin whimpering as well.

"Kagome, please come soon..."

Soon, the trio of wolves returned with the package Kouga had whimpered to them. Ginta held Kagome under the legs and under her neck, fast to his body. Walking into Kouga's den, he was met with the full pack of wolves surrounding Kouga. Slowly they parted to allow Ginta to place the Prince's mate-to-be beside him.

Ginta leaned forward, and set Kagome on her back next to Kouga, who, upon smelling her, whimpered and turned to face her, wrapping his arms around Kagome and pulling her flush against him, one hand on her waist and the other pillowing her head.

Ginta took his leave quickly, knowing he was barely welcome, as were the other wolves right now, whom also got up and began to leave.

Kouga softly growled, nuzzling her neck with his tongue. "Kagome, please give me a chance to love you." Softly, the wolf prince bit the girl on the back of the neck. "Please stay with me..."

He gently licked at the tender flesh that would soon become a mate mark if she too would consent.
