Chapter 4
A Surprise Guest
"What are you doing here? What do you want? How do you know that Alexis is a half-demon?" said Inuyasha, rapidly.
"Sit Boy!" yelled Kagome and Alexis, and he fell face-first into the ground.
"See great minds do think alike! I guess that we'll be doing that a lot, huh?" said Alexis. They laughed together.
"Excuse me! Did you forget me?" said the cocky wolf demon.
"No, we were just ignoring you." said Kagome.
"What do you want anyway?" said Courtney, breaking the silence from the back of the group.
"I'm here because I wanted to see my future mate and to make sure that Inuyasha doesn't get you kidnapped , again." he explained.
"WHAT!" exclaimed everyone.
"Hold up. I want to know who you are and what you meant by your previous statement!" said Alexis. 'Courtney, I feel like something big is about to happen.'
'I know what you mean.' Courtney thought back.
"I am Kouga. The leader of the wolf demon tribe, and Kagome is to be my mate." he said casually.
"No, I'm not! If I was to be anybody's mate, it would be Inuyasha!" she spat back in disgust. Alexis felt her heart breaking into a million pieces, and she didn't know why. As Kouga, Inuyasha and Kagome argued, Miroku, Sango and Shippo kept them from tearing each other apart, Alexis slipped away, into the forest. Courtney thought about what all was happening with her best friend. When Courtney tried to follow, Inuyasha called after her. It was only then did he realize that Alexis was gone.
"Where are you going? Where is Alexis?" he asked hurriedly. He was filled with a sense of worry, that he need to find her for some reason that was not know to him.
"Like you care! I'm going to go with Alexis! She wouldn't be gone if you had only paid attention to someone other that yourself or the jewel shards!" Courtney yelled. She had seen the pain on her friends face, she had watched the whole event unfold from the sidelines.
"I do…" Inuyasha started.
"You do what? Care? If you do than you have a very weird way of showing! Alexis… She is very confused by all of the things that are happening to her right now! She often wears her heart on her sleeve. She doesn't know how she feels about any of this really. She doesn't know who she feels about you. She trusted you and you have hurt her!" Courtney yelled. As she finished her rant she saw that Inuyasha had hung his head, obviously thinking about what she had said. "I'm going to find her." she added as she ran into the woods. Hoping that her friend was all right.
"Is what Courtney said true?" was all that he asked before he followed Courtney in her hunt to find Alexis.
'Stupid Alexis! You shouldn't have thought that he would like you! After all he has only just met you.' thought Alexis as she walked through the forest.
"Why me? Huh? What did I do to deserve this hurt inside!" she screamed. She startled small animals and minor demons with her scream. She sat down under a large tree and started to cry.
"Alexis! Where are you?" said Courtney. "Come on. We don't know what could be ou here! Alexis!" 'If that stupid mutt had never came to the school, Alexis and I wouldn't of had to put up with all this crap.'
"Why did I have to start to have feelings for him? Why couldn't I of just stayed in America where I don't have to worry about demons or time-traveling wells. Why?" she cried.
With the rest of the group
'Why did he run after her?' Kagome wondered. "Kouga?"
"Yes dear." he said, rushing to her side.
"I'm not your dear! Why are you still here?" she asked.
"If you don't want me here, I'll just leave. I'll be all lonely..." said Kouga as he turned to leave. He turned back one last time, with puppey-dog eyes.
"Don't even try it! I don't want to see you again!" said Kagome. She felt very confused.
"Just shut up Kagome! We need to find Alexis, Courtney and Inuyasha." said Sango. She was tried of Kagome being a brat.
"Why do we need to find her. It's not like she's important or anything." sais Kagome.
"If you don't want to find her, fine! Stay here because I am sick and tired of you always getting angry if you have a little competition! If anyone wants to come with me, lets go now!" said Sango as she and Kilala started to walk into the forest.
"I'm coming too! Wait up!"said Miroku and Shippo at the same time. They ran after Sango, leaving Kagome behind.
She thought about what was going on and about what Sango said. She also wondered if she was more like Kikyo that she thought or was comfortable with.
At a waterfall
"Why do I feel this way? I've only just met this guy and I act like..." she trailed off as she pondered her feelings.
"Like you were meant for each other?" said a small voice.
"Who... OWWW!" she exclaimed.
SLAP!
She had slapped her neck, and a tick like thing fell off.
"Who are you? What did you mean?" she asked, holding the little bug man up to her face.
"I'm Myouga, Lord Inuyasha's guardian." he said.
"Lord my ass! Now what did you mean by 'meant for each other'?" she asked.
AN: I'm sooooooooo sorry for the long wait. You see, I had prewritten most of the story, but I had school and problems at home that interfeared with my getting it posted. I'm going to try and get another chapter posted soon!
