Velvet- I think Kagome handled that bastard 'Matt' fairly well, don't you? Yeah well, if you don't review you won't see any more chapters! The previous Chappie was a rather long chapter to write too. I had fun doing it though. Thanks, and, On with the story! Oh and- if you think you're being deprived of your lemony goodness, i'll try squeeze it in Chappie 8- sorry about the wait, just i don't like seeing Kagome as a slut.
Chapter Five: A Familiar Face
Kagome opened one tear stained eye slowly and looked around her room. Total mess. After she had got home she had torn her dress in half, thrown a shoe against the wall- missed and shattered a window, and burned the picture of her and Matt they had taken at a photo booth. Then she had cried herself to sleep while wearing her makeup still. It had smeared across her face as a combination of crying and tossing and turning all night. She noticed a shadow falling across the floor from the window.
"Need to prune back that tree again…" she muttered opening both eyes and sitting up with her feet on the floor. She adjusted her bra which she had not bothered to take off before she went to bed the night before and looked at her window.
"OH MY GOD!" she screamed seizing her sheets and covering up. There, outside her window was Koga the wolf demon. He gently pried open the frame of the broken window and steeped inside.
"Yo" he said calmly trying to avoid looking at Kagome's half nakedness.
"Can you…" said Kagome trailing off and indicating the door.
"Oh, hai" said Koga dashing out (Cute AND a gentleman! Sigh we need more guys like that!).
"Arigatou" she said before he shut the door. After she dressed herself she opened the door and went downstairs to where Koga was inspecting her television.
"Strange box…" he said playing with the remote control and pressing all the buttons repeatedly.
"Uh, yeah- give that to me" she said walking over and taking the remote. She turned off the TV and stared at him.
"What?" he asked looking around to see if she was staring at anything else.
"What are you doing here?" she asked
"I haven't seen you for… A very long time!" said Koga "I missed you Kagome"
"That's… sweet Koga" said Kagome choosing her words carefully. He jumped over the sofa to her and took her hands in his. He smiled a smile that would melt steel and you could almost see the twinkle in his eye.
"I need you Kagome" he said. Kagome blanked here we go again… she thought.
"Um- how did you get here? And why?" she asked trying to avoid answering Koga's statement altogether. He let go of her hands and turned his back on her.
"Through the well- Don't know how, but my business here is not only to see you my love" said Koga beginning to pace.
"Then, why ARE you here then?" she prodded further.
"It concerns InuYasha unfortunately" he said before a scowl spread over his face.
"You've heard news of him?" she gasped
"Hai- why, hasn't that mutt come to see you?" he asked as a growl formed in his throat mid sentence.
"Eie, he hasn't- not for… Two years!" said Kagome she rushed over and seized Koga around the middle "Please- you've got to tell me where he is and why he didn't come back!"
"Um… well- I'm not sure where he is right now…" said Koga lost for words when he found Kagome hugging him. He twisted around so he was facing her in the embrace.
"Then why did you say it concerned him?" Kagome asked frustrated.
"Because it does concern him- I saw him about 3 days ago out near my den, he was looking for help, from me!" Koga scoffed. Kagome let go of him and sat down on the sofa. She invited Koga to sit down too.
"So did you help him?" asked Kagome worriedly.
"Hai, I told him the place he was looking for because I knew you would want me to, then I decided to go to Kaede's village, she told me you went back ages ago and I went through the well" said Koga sitting down and folding him arms.
"Where was he going? Do you know?" said Kagome desperate to find out anything of her former lover.
"No- I don't he was just looking for a place to get his sword sharpened- apparently he regretted not doing it last time he had the chance" said Koga.
"Oh…" said Kagome tears forming in her eyes. Koga spotted this and put his arms around her and held he close. Kagome was- for once- glad for the comfort and support.
"Don't worry Kagome- if you want me to help, with anything, I'll do it for you" he whispered.
---(Line)---
"Kagome?" asked Koga gently prodding the figure on top of him. Kagome had fallen asleep about 2 hours ago, and Koga- being the gentleman that he was, decided to let her rest. Now he gently scooped her up and placed her on the sofa. He stood up and went for a walk to stretch his legs.
He hummed as he steeped outside in to the fresh air of the Higurashi shrine and wandered around. He stopped every now and then to jump to the top of a tree and see everything around him.
"What a strange world…" muttered Koga looking out in to the distance at the hundreds of buildings surrounding the shrine. He jumped down from the tree and sniffed the air.
"Hey you! What are you doing in Kagome's house?" came a shout from several metres away. Koga whipped around to look at the one shouting. Kagome's friends were there, Eri was the one who had shouted at him.
"Surely a man has the right to be around the woman he loves?" said Koga walking over to them. They looked him up and down taking in the fur covered clothing he wore.
"Loves? You mean you're Matt?" asked another of Kagome's friends (Can someone please tell me their names? I'm making them up from now on).
"Matt? Eie, I am Koga leader of the-"
"KOGA!"
"Kagome? You're awake" said Koga turning around to face Kagome. She had stopped him just in time from spilling exactly who he was.
"Leader of what now?" asked Hitomi
"Leader of the… Uh… Dress up club! Yeah!" said Kagome hurriedly yet also lying through her teeth.
"Ohhhh!" said all three of them at the same time.
"Dress up club? Kagome what on earth…" said Koga staring at her
"Not now Koga, I'll explain later" hissed Kagome as she invited her friends inside.
---(Line)---
"So Kagome, we were wondering if you wanted to come with. And your friend Koga is invited too of course" said Kitchi. Kagome had just been invited to apparently the 'Party of the year' at one of the popular girls houses. Koga had just been invited too.
"I'd… Love to" said Kagome "But we can't"
"We can't?" asked Koga
"No- We can't" replied Kagome
"But… Why not Kagome? You have to come- Everyone who's anyone is gonna be there!" protested Eri.
"Yeah well- I'm someone and I'm not going" Kagome said folding her arms
"Kagome?" said Koga "Why can't we go? It could be really fun" Kagome blanked
"You want to go Koga?" she asked quietly
"Yes, it sounds good" he said
"Well, um okay?" said Kagome timidly
"Great! It's a dress up party- Koga can wear something fun- it's right up his alley I think!" said Hitomi
"Oh... goody…" muttered Kagome
