Confused Angel

Ch3: Soiled Angel, Confused Angel, Depressed Angel

With that, the spider vanished in a cloud of his own miasma.

"Kouga." The hanyou whispered/whimpered.

When the ookami made no movement at all, said hanyou whimpers and throws himself into the awaiting arms.

"Kouga!" He sobs into the chest of the other. "Why? Why?'

"Why what puppy?" The wolf questions.

"Why save me? Why'd he do it? Why me? I'm just a hanyou."

"He got here before me, when I was coming to declare love, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be too smart now." The wolf answers all questions at once.

"No. It comforts me to know it wasn't a joke. To know…you return my love."

"Yes my Yasha, I return it." The wolf replies with a grin. "Now, lets get you cleaned up."

"Awww! Do I have to?" The inu groans.

"Yes. Now get your stuff."

-At the edge of Kaede's village-

"Why? Please, why can't you stay? He'll come back! Please! You have to stay and protect me!"

"I'm sorry Inu…But I have to go."

"But…He'll come back! I know he will!"

"you'll be fine." The wolf kissed the hanyou between the ears. "You'll see me soon enough."

With that, he exits, leaving a very depressed hanyou to return to his friends.

Upon entereing the clearing

"Inuyasha! SIT! You insensitive jerk! We were worried sick! I think someone's in trouble. Let's go see." Came a miko's very spastic greeting.

The miko went to search, but noticed the hanyou hadn't bothered to rise from the dirt.

"Inuyasha, get up, I sense jewel shards!"

No response.

"Please Inuyasha! …Kouga! HI!"

The wolf sighed. "I supposed I should have mentioned I'd be right back. Come here my broken angel." He gently comments as he lifts the hanyou from the ground and cuddles him.

"Kouga," said hanyou murmurs/sighs into the chest of the one whom he clung to for dear life. "Don't leave again, 'kay?"

"Okay Inu." The wolf shispers in reply, kissing the ears on top of his head. "Sleep, I'll protect you."

"Okay."

And with that the inu-hanyou settles in for a nap.

Needless to say, the humans were rendered speechless, leaving shippo to ask questions. Or, rather, demand answers.

"You IDIOTS! Did you HAVE to scare the shit out of them with your sudden changes? I thought we agreed it best if things stayed the way they were!" the kit ranted.

"Yea, yea," murmurs the ookami.

"Wait…Shippo you KNEW about this?!" The young miko screeched, causing the kit to lose his temper, and therefore his glamour.

"Damnit! NOW look what you made me do! Bitch." The now baritone kit grumps. "sighs I suppose it can't be helped"

Sesshoumaru enters the clearing at that exact moment, and wraps his arm around the kit.

"Now, since they know, may we travel to this Sesshoumaru's estate? Or do we need to escort them to safety?"

Dhippo laces finger with the inu lord, "Ya, I'm ready."

" umm, we'll come, but we can ony stay for a while. Inuyasha's people are at a direst." Chimes the taijiya.

"You KNEW?!" The miko inquires…loudly.

"What did you THINK it was called Inuyasha's forest for? His home is in there, just glamoured."

"Uhm…no, actually I moved it home." The hanyou interjects.

"You can move it?" The monk stupidly questions.

"Ya, how'd you THINK I got it there?"

"Umm….."

"You thought he built it again, didn't you? Baka." Shippo comments.

And with that, they left a very disgruntled- and pouting/fuming –miko standing in a clearing alone.

Ch.4: Redeemed Angel

Well? How was it? Hopefully that at least PARTLY makes up for me not posting for a while, and then my last chapter being so short. I have another chapter written too, but I'm writing my other stories too, so I'm going to wait to post it.
