Disclaimer: I don't know the Inuyasha characters. I know Kyoko and Kilala's personality though.
Chapter Six: Bath Time and Kouga (Hmm…I wonder what's going to happen in this chapter?)
The entire Inu-gang headed down to a hot springs, not far from the village.
As they walked down to the hot springs Miroku thought, ha ha, I get to see Sango all I want and she won't even hurt me. I love being a dog! Soon after that he fell into fantasy land. That was until Kilala snapped him out of it.
"Now listen hear you two, or rather Miroku, you do anything perverted or that otherwise takes advantage of Sango or Kagome I will personally see to it that you never father any children," threatened Kilala. "Got it?"
She's scarier than Kagome or Sango, thought Inuyasha, as he and Miroku nodded repeatedly.
Five minutes later, they reached the hot springs.
"Wow, this is even nicer than villagers described it," commented Sango.
It was to; right in the middle of a small forest in a clearing was the most beautiful hot springs.
Kagome nodded in agreement, as she watched Shippo dive into the spring. She giggled and said, "Well shall we go join him." With that Kagome and Sango began to undress.
"You two so much as glance at them before they get in the water and I'll…" started Kilala, but Miroku interrupted her.
"Yes we got it. Really, how bad do you think we are?" asked Miroku.
Inuyasha remarked, "I don't think you want her to answer that."
Kagome and Sango sat down in the hot spring and then sighed contently.
"God, this is nice," commented Kagome.
"Sure it," agreed Sango.
Kagome glanced over at the two dogs. Are they blushing? Do dogs blush? Thought Kagome and then called, "Hey, you two, come over here!"
With a nod of approval from Kilala, both dogs proceeded to get into the water.
"Sango, why don't you wash the lab and I'll take the husky," suggested Kagome, as she waded over to Inuyasha (the husky).
Sango replied, "Sounds good," and then signaled for Miroku (the lab) to come to her- not that he already wasn't on his way to her-.
Damn, why can't Kagome and Sango just leave those two dogs alone? Those two are enjoying this way too much! Thought Kilala angrily, but then she realized something. Well, when they turn back into humans, they're going to have a lot of explaining to do, and then smiled contently. However; her smile faded as she caught a familiar scent in the air, Oh, this is just what I need right now, thought Kilala sarcastically and then sighed heavily.
Kagome and Sango had just finished washing the dogs and themselves, when a whirlwind appeared, revealing Kouga.
"Hello, Kagome, how are y….." he stopped and stared as he saw that both Kagome and Sango were naked.
They both screamed-well more Kagome-and ran into the bushes to put some clothes on.
Kouga apologized, "I'm sorry Kagome, I had no idea you were bathing. I didn't see anything, I swear."
Kagome and Sango came out from the bushes.
"That's okay, Kouga," said Kagome.
"So where are mutt-face and the monk?" inquired Kouga, "because I can't smell them."
"We're right here you dumbass!" shouted Inuyasha.
Kouga looked down at the Husky with a puzzled look. That dog just spoke to me. Okay, that's not surprising, considering I talk to demon animals me all the time. My question is why did he sound like Inuyasha? Thought Kouga, as he tried to piece everything together…but with no luck.
"Inuyasha and Miroku got turned into dogs, by a demon sorceress named Kyoko," stated Kilala, figuring out why Kouga looked so confused.
"Huh?" asked Kouga, still lost.
"We didn't say anything," remarked Sango.
"You're cat did though," said Kouga, "now quiet and tell her talk."
So Kilala began to tell the whole long story, but until Kouga came into the picture and after that he understood. Of course, now Kagome and Sango were the confused ones.
"Kouga, what's going on?" asked Kagome.
Kouga tried to explain, but because of Kyoko's extreme precautions Kouga was not able to utter a word about Inuyasha and Miroku.
Finally Kouga, just said, "It's not worth worrying about, Kagome."
"Kouga," called Inuyasha.
Kouga replied, "What mutt?"
"I need you to stay here and look after Kagome and Sango for us," said Inuyasha.
"Why should I do that?" inquired Kouga, not that he was going to refuse.
Inuyasha explained, "Miroku and I aren't able to protect Kagome and Sango while we're stuck as dogs. You can though and with all those demons wanting the shikon jewel it's very dangerous for them to be traveling around unprotected."
Kouga considered this and then remarked, "I don't have a real problem with being with your gang, expect maybe you, but I have my own stuff going on right now. I mated with Ayame, so she and I have lots of things we have to take care off between the tribes. Also to add to that she's pregnant…although, if you all don't mind taking a break from jewel shard hunting, you all can stay at my den."
"As if!" yelled Inuyasha.
Miroku sighed and commented, "Inuyasha, it's a good offer. If Sango and Kagome aren't out hunting for jewel shards, then they're safe and even more so if they're with Kouga and his tribe. Plus, if any males try to approach Kagome, Kouga will set them straight and if Kouga approached Kagome, Ayame will set him straight."
Inuyasha hated the idea of Kagome being around all those male wolf demons, but he's rather have that then have Kagome in danger and Miroku was right, Ayame would be there too.
"Fine," responded Inuyasha finally.
Kouga then proceeded to convince Kagome and Sango of his idea. At first, they we against it, because they still wanted to search for Inuyasha and Miroku. After a little more talking on Kouga's part, they agreed.
Kouga and the rest of the Inu-gang went back to the village for the night and had plans to leave for Kouga's den tomorrow. It wasn't until everyone was just about to go to sleep when Kouga realized something.
He grabbed Inuyasha by the scruff of the neck and yelled, "You were in that hot springs with Kagome when I first came weren't you? You pervert, wait until I tell Kagome!"
"You can't remember and besides it wasn't my idea, it was hers!" he yelled back.
Realizing he really couldn't say or do much more, mainly because Kagome and Sango were giving him weird looks again, he let go of Inuyasha and went outside to sleep in a tree.
Shippo and Kilala had already fallen asleep together on the floor. Naturally, Miroku took advantage of Kilala sleeping to go to sleep beside Sango. She didn't seem to mind at all, so he went to sleep. Inuyasha also went to sleep beside the love of his life, although his explanation for it was that she looked cold. Kagome was grateful for the extra body heat and then fell asleep.
The last thoughts that went through Inuyasha's mind were these, I wish I could sleep with you every night like this…I love you Kagome.
