Disclaimer: I don't any of the Inuyasha character, but I own Kyoko, Kilala's personality and another new character that's in this chapter.

(Note: I'm changing something in this chapter and it will continue on for the rest of the story. From now on when Kouga, Ayame or any other demon that can talk to animals speaks it will be through mind-to-mind talking, which I will introduce and explain in this chapter. I just did this, so I don't make Kagome and Sango seem totally oblivious to the fact the Kouga is always fighting with a certain 'husky'…basically it makes it less obvious to Kagome and Sango.)

'Mind-to-mind talking'

Chapter Seven: Talking mind-to-mind (Sorry, I title for this chapter sucks, I really couldn't think of anything)

When Kagome awoke the next morning, she found the husky sleeping soundly next to her.

He looks so peaceful, when he sleeps, thought Kagome, kind of like Inuyasha…Oh, Kagome you're so pathetic Inuyasha's gone one day and you're thinking some random dog is him! She sighed heavily, as she got up to go wash her face.

On her way back, she dumped into Kouga (not literally of course).

"Good morning, Kouga," greeted Kagome cheerfully.

Kouga responded back, "Morning Kagome, did you sleep well?"

Kagome was silent for a moment and then asked, "Kouga, if I tell you something would you keep it a secret?"

Kouga acknowledged the bush to his left; 'I know you're there, mutt face!' He said in this head.

'How the hell can you talk to me through my mind?' asked Inuyasha

'All demons who know to speak to animal demons know how to talk mind-to-mind! Now why are you spying on Kagome and I?' asked Kouga.

"Kouga, are you listening to me?" inquired Kagome.

Kouga looked back at her and said, "Yes, and of course you can trust me with any secret."

Kagome's eyes started to fill with tears and she ran into Kouga's arms.

'What the fuck?! Why is she crying…and hugging YOU?!' screamed Inuyasha

'How should I know?! It's not like I want her to do it, I have mate you know!' Kouga yelled back, before asking Kagome, "What's wrong Kagome?"

"I miss Inuyasha!" she cried.

Inuyasha froze in complete and utter shock for a couple moments, before he asked Kouga, 'Did she just say she missed me?'

'You're pretty lucky Inuyasha. You treat her like she's just your 'shard-detector', and now you're gone for one day and she's already breaking down in tears.' commented Kouga.

'I don't deserve her,' stated Inuyasha.

Kouga responded, 'No you don't, no one does. Kagome is one of the kindest most pure hearted people I've ever met. No one is this whole world is worthy of her love… he was silent for a moment before adding, but I'd say you come pretty close, Inuyasha.'

Before Inuyasha could respond, they all heard Sango calling for them.

"We better get back Kagome," stated Kouga.

Kagome nodded and dried her eyes.

Then Kouga added, "And Kagome don't worry about Inuyasha. I can't tell you how I now this, but I know he's alive and healthly, and so is the monk."

Kagome smiled and then said, "Thanks Kouga."

After a wonderful breakfast of bacon n' eggs and a couple hours of walking they reached Ayame and Kouga domain.

"Kouga, you're back!" exclaimed a girl, who looked about fifteen or so.

"Hey, Pacifica, how has everything been?" asked Kouga.

"Oh, fine considering you left and didn't tell your wife," replied Pacifica, putting her hands on her hips.

"Kouga, you left and didn't tell Ayame?" questioned Kagome, in disbelief.

"Well, um…kind of," stuttered Kouga.

"KOUGA!!!" roared a women's voice.

"Oh, he's dead," stated Miroku.

"Yup," agreed Inuyasha.

A very pregnant female wolf demon with red hair appeared and grabbed Kouga by his ear and then screamed in it, "You bastard, you just take off without telling me! What kind of husband are you anyway!?"

"Ayame, I sorry, I didn't mean to…it was just I need to…um…" stammered Kouga.

'He sensed an evil demonic aura and went to investigate. He didn't tell you because he didn't want you to worry,' stated Miroku.

Ayame glared at Kouga, "Is that true?"

Kouga nodded repeatedly.

Ayame looked back at the lab and yelled, 'Who are you?'

Miroku replied, 'Miroku and the husky is Inuyasha.'

Ayame slowly let got of Kouga's ear and asked, 'What happened to you two?'

Inuyasha, Miroku and Kilala each took turns telling the very long story of what had happened. Of course, for Kouga's sake they left out the part about Kouga intruding on Kagome and Sango's bath.

"Do you know what's going on?" Kagome whispered to Sango.

Sango whispered back, "Looks like they're talking mind-to-mind, so your guess is as good as mine."

"Well Ayame calmed down, so obviously the dogs helped Kouga," commented Kagome.

"Well you all must be tried and hungry, so let's go inside and have lunch, while Pacifica finds you all rooms," said Ayame.

Later they found out that Pacifica was Kouga's younger half-sister. Turns out that just recently he'd found out that his father had mated with a human women after his mother died. Yes, Pacifica is a half-demon; she has puppy-dog ears just like Inuyasha, she has long brown hair, that's tied back in a pony tail and she had greenish-grey eyes. Her clothing was similar to that of what all wolf-demons wore. Despite Kouga's very outgoing personality, his sister shy, although she didn't seem shy around the people that she knew, especially Kouga and Ayame.

"Ayame, should I put Inuyasha in a room with Kagome, then Miroku in a room with Sango, and then Shippo and Kilala can sleep with the little kids?" asked Pacifica.

Ayame smiled evilly, "That's a perfect idea," she responded, "Just don't tell anyone else, until tonight okay?"

Pacifica smiled and winked at Ayame, "Got it."

"Where's all our stuff?" inquired Sango, after they'd eaten lunch.

Ayame explained, "I had Ginta, Hahoku and Pacifica take your things to your rooms."

"How did you know we were staying?" asked Kagome.

Ayame smiled and answered, "Your dogs told me."
