A/N: I'm so sorry that it has taken me so long to post another chapter. My computer had died on me so I had to send it back to the store and get a new one. It took awhile but I finally got my new one ^_^. I hope you guys can forgive me for making you wait so long.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Chapter 5

We made it a good ways before we stopped to make camp. I was tired but not as tired as I usually was when traveling with Inuyasha. Kouga was very attentive(A/N: I think thats the right word :l) to my needs, if I started to get tired he let me rest, if I got thirsty he found me water, and at this very moment he was hunting for our meal.

'Wow I don't know what to think of this...I always had to beg Inuyasha to stop for things, but now all I have to do is ask once' I thought to myself. I turned and looked at Lupa who was sitting on the other side of the fire .

"Lupa how long do you think it will take Kouga to find something" she looked up at me and smiled 'It won't take him long at all, Kouga is a great hunter' she said as she got up and layed down beside me.

We heard the brush near us rustle as Kouga stepped into camp with a already skinned deer. I watched as he tore off a few chunks, skewered them and stuck them by fire. He sat down beside us and asked " So what did you two talk about while I was gone"?

Me and Lupa looked at each other and looked back at Kouga as I responded " Nothing really, we were just wondering how long it would take you to find something".

"Oh" he said as he gave Lupa a questioning look, she nodded and smirked. Just then my stomach growled at the smell of cooked deer. Kouga chuckled as he checked the meat to make sure it was cooked and then handed me some.

I gave him a thankful smile and started to eat what I thought was the best deer I'd ever tasted. He tossed Lupa her piece and started working on his. After we finished eating I began to think about the group. I wondered what they were doing right about now.

I didn't notice how lost in thought I was until Kouga gently shook my shoulder. He looked at me with worried eyes " Are you all right Kagome"? I tried my best to smile as I told him " I'm just missing my friends a little bit".

Kouga was quiet for a few minutes before he spoke again his voice sounding a bit uncertain " I can take you to go see them in the morning if you like Kagome". My heart jumped at the thought of seeing my friends again but then it fell because that meant having to deal with Inuyasha and his crap. " I'm not sure Kouga... I mean don't get me wrong I would love to see my friends but I don't want to have to deal with Inuyasha right now".

He looked at me with a shocked expression and replied " If your sure Kagome". ' Hm..I guess he thought I was immediatly going to jump up and down at the chance to see them' I shrugged and yawned as I crawled toward my sleeping bag.

I watched as Kouga settled against the tree right next to me " Goodnight Kagome" he said as Lupa layed down beside me. I wrapped my arms around her and whispered as I started to fall asleep " Night Kouga".

Authors Note: I know its a bit short but what do you think? In the next chapter Kouga will get his first taste of the future :) BUT I'm gonna need a couple reviews for motivation ^_^. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks to all the people who have given me great reviews so far ^_^
