Velvet- Thanks all for reviewing, I'd just like to say it's great to hear feedback both good and bad, and that yes I believe fish have toes SO THERE. On with the Chappie…

Chapter Nine: Slicing through time

"Kagome?" asked Koga quietly as she exited the well before him. He jumped up and out only to see Kagome disappear through the door. He followed her

"Go home Koga" she said before he could get near enough. Koga kept walking with her fast, upset, hurried pace.

"I want to know that you'll be okay" he said. She ignored him and broke in to a run to try and get inside her house. Koga beat her to the door and blocked it.

"Get out of the way Koga!" Kagome said angrily trying to push him out of the way. As she had expected, he didn't budge and inch.

"No, I'm staying with you until you're happy, you're not happy, and all the time I've been here you haven't been happy. It's more than InuYasha, now tell me…" Koga picked her up around the waist and lifted her off the ground so she couldn't run away again "What is going on?"

"It's none of your business Koga!" Kagome half shouted kicking and struggling to get herself free

"I'm making it my business, I love you Kagome, but you love someone else and if that guy isn't me I'd like to know why. You know I've always loved you, I don't care about your jewel shard seeking ability, I just want someone I can be with and have to myself forever" Koga said. Kagome stopped struggling, Koga put her down carefully

"Koga…" Kagome was lost for words, then she thought of something "What about Ayame?" Koga blanked. He narrowed his eyes

"What about her…" He muttered

"Well, you DID promise to marry her a very long time ago, even before you met me, don't you think she'd appreciate your love more? Besides…" Kagome struggled to think of more reasons for him to go away "Won't you want FULL demon children? I can only offer you half-demon babies" Kagome said- then really wished she hadn't

"You've been thinking about our children?" said Koga incredulously. He threw his arms around her in a tight Koga-love hug. Kagome sweat-dropped.

"Ko-ga… Air!" said Kagome trying to break free of the bone crushing hug.

"It's okay, we can turn you demon" Koga shrugged. He had moved out of the doorway. Kagome saw an escape route, she made a run for it

"Bye Koga!" she said running off. Koga blinked for a few seconds then chased her in to the house

"KAGOME!" he shouted looking around everywhere, Kagome's scent was everywhere, he couldn't decipher which one was the one he was looking for. He ran through the kitchen and then upstairs. A cupboard door shuddered and Kagome emerged looking around carefully to make sure Koga wasn't there. He wasn't so she grabbed her bow and arrows and ran

She reached the curb panting; she hailed a cab and got in. They drove off as Kagome gave directions to Eri's house

---(Line)---

"…and I don't know how to get rid of him!" finished Kagome in tears. They were sitting on Eri's mother's sofa drinking coffee

"Well" said Eri setting down her cup on the coffee table "I could look after him for you if you like, as long as he's not dangerous"

"Would you?" asked Kagome quickly. Eri shrugged

"Sure, I need a new boyfriend anyway, Shinji's starting to bother me…"

"Great!" Kagome cut in "He'll be he in a few minutes, he can follow my scent you see and…"

"KAGOME!" Exploded a voice, then Koga burst in to the room

"Koga, Eri, Eri, Koga, you've met before, she loves you, bye!" said Kagome quickly then she raced out of the room. Eri blinked, Koga walked over and sat next to her. He looked in to her eyes carefully

"Is this true?" he said quietly. Eri took one quick look at his muscled arms and answered in a flash

"I'm yours…" before pushing herself upon him

---(Line)---

Kagome was off and running down the street her feet hitting the pavement one after the other faster each time. As she dodged people on the street she thought about InuYasha and the massacre he was supposed to have caused. Loved me? Ha, he would have come back to seek advice if he really DID have to break up with me, Koga wasn't lying I can tell that much, but why would InuYasha kill so many people? Maybe his demon side took him over- OH NO! What if he changed in to a demon? A full- wait… no Koga would have smelled that if it were half demon or full demon. But maybe he was lying again-

"Oof!" gasped Kagome as she fell to the ground. A hand appeared to help her to her feet.

"Sorry, I guess I wasn't watching where I was going" said a girl heaving her up. A little cat pounced around her ankles. It was then Kagome noticed the cat had two tails and she was no-longer standing on the sidewalk…

+Did You Even Give This A Title+

Last Time:

"Billy, I'm sorry about chasing you"

"It's okay, we teddies take a lot of –Bleep!- from our owners"

"I love you Billy"

:Cuddles:

"Billy! Is my hot cocoa ready?" shouted Velvet as she shook her tired typing hands

"Yup! Here it is- oops!" Billy stumbled and the mug of warm chocolaty goodness slipped and tipped… all over the keyboard. Velvet and Billy yelled

"I'm in so much –bleep!- if my dad finds out!"

"Yeah you are…"

"Are you going to help or just STAND there?"

"I'm thinking…Sit here" Billy took a seat

"That's not funny Billy, I'll tell dad that you spilled it!"

"And you're father is going to believe a stuffed bear made you hot cocoa then spilled it on the keyboard- I'm not tall enough to reach the mugs! What am I- Barney!"

"If I tell, those guys in the white suits'll take me away again and then you'll have NO-ONE to make hot cocoa for!"

"…How many more paper towels do you need?"

Will Velvet and Billy get the mess cleaned up before Dad comes home? Find out next time!
