Meh. That is my word of wisdom for today….
Dang, I HATE this sometimes…
Ok, this is my not-so-valid excuse for not updating: vacation: I had this chapter all written up and ready to go before I left, however my internet connection was bad, so I couldn't upload. Next thing I know, I'm in Alaska, saying "doh!" because I forgot to ask my dad to fix it. Now a week later, he FINALLY does it, and NOW I can update…
So enjoy…
Thanks to the following reviewers:
Brynstar: I know that the "rescuer" was unlikely, but you'll see why I did that in the next few chapters. As for the Ishikawa humor, I just HAD to do that. He's really the only humorous character in Gits, so I had to do something with the characters other than Kouga, even though he IS the main humor character in this story.
Takma-rierah: yeah, I know I was a little OOC with Kusanagi. But then again she's a hard character to write, especially since this story is going to be focused more the IY characters. shrugs I'm not the most talented of writers, and it takes a lot of skill and/or experience to write kusanagi well. That much I found out already…
kinokokichigai: (blushes) thanks. I know that there are a lot of sucky crossovers out there, believe me, I've read them, and I'm trying to write one that isn't quite so bad. As for Batou, I know that I changed his persona a little bit, but once again, that was for humor. He won't be so bad in his next appearances.
Suzakusnomiko: Thank you for giving it away… (grumbles). And interesting analogy… "The phantom of the Opera" for Gits and IY, eh? COOL! But for Kouga's name, it has a u, I think…not sure.
Kioko the Pirate: Is it sesshy? Suzakus gave it away, but that's alright, I'm glad that my readers are trying to guess what happens next, instead of the usual "that's cool. Can you update it now?" thing that I get all the time… but yeah, I'm glad you think that this story is cool.
MistressKC: all will be answered in due time:P. Except for the part of whether you will stop answering questions…that, NO one knows…lol
And now on with the story!
Ch. 4
"Ugh…." The first thing that he realized was that his head hurt…a LOT. Not to mention his body hurt, and his legs hurt, and…
Wasn't he in this kind of situation before?
Palm on his forehead, Kouga rose into a seated position, groaning from the pains in his abdomen. He opened his eyes, not believing what he saw.
He was in a bedroom. A very…pink…bedroom…
What the hell?
Kouga blinked a few more times; rubbing his eyes to make sure it wasn't a dream… then again he could be hallucinating…that was common after having such a wound like…
Wait a second…how did he GET here, anyway? Last thing that he remembered was a sharp pain from that weird weapon those humans had been carrying.
And now he was in a pink and fuzzy bedroom… was this hell?
"Ohhhh Koooooooooooooooougaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……" There was a sweet, and strangely familiar, female voice from his right. He turned, seeing a closed door. "I hear your voice, I know you're awaaaaaaaaaaaaake." There was a knock. "Can I come in?"
"Uh…"
Not like he could have stopped the monsoon…
The person behind the door didn't give him a chance to answer, as the door burst open, revealing the brightest green eyes and reddest of hair and…white furs…
Oh crap…
"KOUGA!" Ayame rocketed towards Kouga, slamming him down into the bed again. "Oh my sweet Kouga, how I've missed you…"
Kouga gasped for air as his fellow wolf demon tried to squeeze it out of him. "Ayame…"
"Oh my god, it's been so LONG…"
"Ayame…"
"I've stayed loyal to you, and I hope that you're ready to…"
"AYAME!"
"What?" She smiled with both her eyes and her lips.
"What the hell is going on? And why am I this pink room?"
"Oh, lord Sesshomaru went into that police place and broke you out. He rescued you!"
"Okay…why would that dog-face care about me?"
"Oh, he it wasn't really his choice. His father ordered it."
"Oh…" Kouga pondered a moment, trying not to thing of the situation where Ayame was straddling his stomach. Hadn't Kagome said once that Inuyasha's father had died? He pushed that question into the back of his mind. He needed some OTHER answers first…
"Alright, can you please just tell me where we are?"
"In my house!"
THAT explained the pink…
"And what am I doing here?"
She giggled a little. "You got shot. I brought you here and cleaned you up!"
"Cleaned me…up….?"
He took a quick peak beneath the sheets. He blushed intensely realizing that there was nothing separating Ayame and him except the bed sheets and any clothing SHE had on…
"Shot…?"
"Dear god, Kouga, where have you been for the last few centuries!"
"Centuries?"
"I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and…"
"What?"
"I've stayed loyal to my promise though, even after all of these centuries, I've never let one man touch me…"
"Ayame, I mean can you just…"
"OH, how I've waited so LONG for this moment…"
"Ayame!"
"And now we can—"
"Stop what you're doing, and stay quiet for a moment."
With the entrance of the new voice, both wolves looked at the doorway, where Sesshomaru, dressed in a simple black kimono, stood, leaning against the doorway with a look of annoyance on his face.
Ayame practically jumped off of Kouga, and bowed respectfully. "Sorry, sir."
The white-haired dog demon rolled his eyes, but said nothing. "Here, put these on." He tossed Kouga his furs, and walked out of the room.
Ayame turned towards Kouga, obviously trying to suppress the look of eagerness on her face.
"Ayame…" The lord's voice echoed down the hallway beyond the door.
"Yes, sir." The wolf demon sighed, disappointment obvious in her voice. She sulkily stalked out of the room, the dull thud of her footsteps gradually fading away.
Kouga quickly slipped into his fur and armor, then stepped out of the room, Sesshomaru a few steps away. "Confused?"
"No shit…"
A smile, though barely noticeable, formed on his lips. "Understandable, you have been gone for quite some time, now…"
"'Gone?' Why is everyone saying that? I don't get it…"
Sesshomaru pondered a moment. "That is a question to be answered at a later time, I suppose, since I cannot answer it. Perhaps my father can explain it."
"Your father? Wait a sec…aren't you that mutt's older brother?"
"Yes…"
"Isn't he dead?"
"WAS dead, Kouga. He was resurrected after you 'disappeared.'"
The wolf demon rested his head in his hands. "I'm so confused…"
Sesshomaru said nothing, but started walking down the hall. "Come, my father wishes to see you."
Kouga began to follow, seeing as he didn't really have a choice right at the moment (either obey the dog for a short time or else be stuck with Ayame…), though after a few steps the demon lord stopped a moment. "On second thought, we should get you some different clothes, the police are looking for you, and we don't need any more trouble than you've caused already…"
"Me? Caused trouble?"
Sesshomaru's eyebrows lowered in annoyance. "Yes, now follow me to my quarters, you may find something that fits you."
It was a very short walk around the building (which Kouga would later find out to be a hotel) and they arrived at Sesshomaru's "quarters" (in reality, nothing more than a hotel room) and stepped inside.
Kouga resisted the urge to let his mouth hang. Sesshomaru lived here? But it was just so…simple…
Sesshomaru didn't even turn towards Kouga, and seemed to read his mind. "Simple and elegant have always been my tastes."
His companion said nothing.
Sesshomaru turned towards a giant wooden box with little compartments, (a "dresser" as he would later learn it was called,) and pulled out two sets of clothes made out of some strange blue material.
"People around here don't dress in kimonos any more, so it would be wise to learn how to wear these. They're called t-shirts and jeans."
"T-shirts and jeans, huh?" Kouga picked up a set of pants and sniffed it. "It smells so…unnatural. Doesn't anyone wear furs at all around here?"
"They would if they could, I suppose. Most of the animals around here have already been killed for their furs, so it was prohibited from hunting them until their populations could return to normal."
"Huh?"
"No, they don't."
"Oh."
Sesshomaru was already in his own set of clothing by now, while Kouga struggled with the jeans zipper on his undergarments (furry underpants ).
"How the hell…"
Sesshomaru sighed. His father was going to owe him BIG TIME for this…

Short, yes, sorry, especially after my long absence from the updating community pouts but I promise that another chapter is on the way. I'm going to try to update at least once every two weeks, but school's starting, so I can't make sure promises yet, sorry.
Anyways, I hope that you're enjoying the story, it's definitely fun writing it!
Peace out
