Chapter 3

Kagome woke up the next morning to find that she was still in her clothes from last night. So she got up and took a shower. When she was finished she got dressed, red blouse that fit her curves nicely and light blue faded jeans that hugged her legs. She went downstairs to get some breakfast. Kagome opened the cabinet where the cereal is and found the note that her dad left her. She read it quickly and smiled. She ran to the phone and called up Koga.

"…hello…?" asked a very tried voice.

"Good morning Koga!" Kagome said cheerfully.

"Oh good morning Kagome… What are you doing up so early?"

"What do you mean early? Its already 10...that's not early…" she laughed.

"After last night…it is early" he laughed.

"Last night…." Kagome thought, "wait…how did I get into my bed last night?"

"Oh well I carried you of course. You were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to wake you," Kagome blushed deeply.

"Y-you carried me..? Why? You should have just woken me up…" she asked embarrassed.

"Why? I just said because you were sleeping…and the thought of waking you up and disturbing that peace….I just didn't want to do that," he laughed. Koga knew that he was making Kagome so embarrassed and wished he was there to see how red she was. Kagome stayed quiet not knowing what to say.

"Well…you….uh-I-uh…." she tried to think of something to say but nothing was really coming out. Koga let out a roaring laugh at her attempt to say something.

"Kagome…you are…too cute…" he said between laughs. That made her blush even more. She was so glad that he wasn't there to see all of this. After a few moments of laughter, Kagome still didn't know what to say.

"Kagome? Your not mad at me right?" he sounded a bit sad.

"Huh? Oh no, I'm not mad at you. Why would I be mad?"

"Because I was making fun of you…"

"Koga…I would never be mad at you," she smiled.

"Really Kagome? You mean that?"

"Of course I do,"

"Okay….good. So do you want to hang out today?"

"Yea sure that sounds great,"

"Alright then…I'll pick you up in a little bit," and with that he hung up. She smiled and put the phone down and served herself some cereal. When done, she cleaned up and waited for Koga to arrive. About a couple of moments later there was a knock at the door. She jumped up and opened the door.

"Hey Koga," she smiled.

"Hey, are you ready to go?" he smiled back.

"Yea," she grabbed her things and locked the door. He lead her to his car and opened the door for her. She smiled and got in. He closed the door and walk to the drivers side. They put on their seat belts and he drove away. Kagome looked out the window. Koga passed looks at her wondering what she was thinking.

"Hey Kagome…is something bothering you?" he looked at the road. She looked at him.

"Um…no not really," she smiled.

"Are you lying to me?" he laughed slightly. She smiled.

"Not really…"

"Come on…you can tell me. What's wrong?"

-sigh- "I'm just thinking about school. I know it's stupid…but I'm not going to know anyone there and I'm going to feel like a loner…"

"Kagome…you know me right? And soon your gonna know my friends so it's all good. Don't worry so much," he looked at her and smiled. She looked back and smiled.

"Thanks Koga," he smiled. She looked forward happily. He looked back to the road but turned his attention back to Kagome. He reached out a hand to touch her cheek but when he did this he accidentally swerved into the opposite lane. He touched her cheek softly. Kagome looked at him and smiled. She blushed lightly. She looked back to the road.

-gasp- "KOGA!" she screamed. He looked back on the road and a semi truck was coming straight towards them. Koga looked at the truck in shock.

"Koga!!" she screamed again. He snapped out of it and tried to get back into his lane.

"Ahhhhh!!" Kagome screamed and the car…

"Hmmm…what have you heard about this Kagome, big brother?" said a built guy with golden eyes.

"I've heard a lot about her…especially from all the guys…they are always thinking about her and what she looks like…but there is one that stands out….Koga," replied the older brother with the same features as the younger brother .

"That little whimp…you don't think he's gonna…try to get her do you?"

"Yea I do…he always does something like this…" -sigh-

"I was afraid of that…so what are we going to do?"

"At this point…we can't do anything but keep an eye out for him….the alliance is in our way…"

"Well I guess we can always deal with him when we go to school right?" the younger brother smiled. His brother smiled back.

"Yes…we'll get him at school…"

"Ahhhhh!!" Kagome screamed and the car made it back to the lane. Koga pulled off the road and looked at Kagome.

"Are you alright??" she looked at him and nodded her head slightly. -sigh- "I'm so sorry Kagome…I should have kept my eyes on the road…"

"It's okay Koga…it was just a accident…they happen sometimes…" she smiled and he smiled back.

"Okay if you say so…" he stared the car again and got back on the road. After a while Kagome fell asleep. Her head was on the window, so he carefully put her head on his shoulder. They weren't very far from each other. She moved closer to him and sighed. Koga smiled and decided to take her to Shadow Beach. About 20 minutes later he stopped the car.

"Kagome…wake up…" he shook her lightly. Kagome stirred but didn't wake up. Koga opened his door and got up and Kagome fell on the seat.

"Ugh…" Kagome sat up and looked around. Koga went to her side and opened the door.

"Oh sorry Kagome…I thought you woke up…" he smiled. She smiled back.

"It's okay…where are we?" she got out and looked at the beach.

"We are at Shadow Beach," it already starting to get dark but you could still see the blue water and the white sand.

"It's so beautiful here…" she smiled.

"Yea it is…" he looked at her, "do you want to take a walk along the shore?"

"Yea that sounds nice…" he nodded his head and headed toward the shore. She took off her shoes and followed. Koga looked at her and smiled. He put an arm around her and walked. She blushed lightly and walked with him. The sky became darker and colder. Kagome shivered slightly. He looked at her.

"Do you want my jacket?"

"No its okay…you keep it," she smiled.

"Well I don't really need it…I'm used to this weather…" he stopped and took his jacket off and put it around her shoulders and pulled her close to him. She smiled.

"Thank you…" she pulled the jacket closer to her. His warmth still lingered in the jacket and she sighed. They walked again. Kagome laid her head on his shoulder. He smiled and looked out into the ocean.

"Ya know…there are a lot of stories about this area…" he looked at her.

"About what?" she looked back.

"Well stories say…that vampires and werewolves used to live here,"

"Sure they did…" she laughed.

"Aw come on…I'm not lying. I'm telling you the truth," he smiled.

"Okay fine…go on with the story," she smiled back.

"Okay, well they said that the werewolves and vampires lived in peace with each other…that is until the vampires betrayed the werewolves…"

"What did they do??"

"Well they promised that they weren't going to drink human blood in this area…but they broke that promise. The story says that one of the werewolves picked up the scent of human blood and followed it, only to come and see a vampire holding a human girl with blood all over him and her,"

"Oh my god…that's horrible…"

"Yea, so then after that werewolves and vampires fought and in the end they made an alliance to divide the land so that they were separated from each other and that if a vampire took blood again from a human that the werewolves could kill them. Basically the werewolves were like guardians for the humans ,"

"Oh I see…that's a very interesting story," she smiled.

"Yea it is…my grandfather told me these stories when I was younger," he smiled at the memories.

"Aw sounds like a nice childhood,"

"Yea it was.." he laughed slightly. Silence came between them. Neither one knew what to say. Minutes seem to feel like hours and the sky was becoming darker.

-growl- Koga looked down at his stomach. Kagome laughed.

"I guess I'm hungry, are you?" he looked at her.

"Yea a little…wanna go and grab a bite?"

"That sounds really good," they walked back to the car and drove to a diner. They stepped out and walked inside. It was nice and warm and Kagome sighed. They were seated and given menus. They looked over them and a couple of minutes later a waitress came and took their orders. As they waited, Koga kept looking at Kagome. She could feel his gaze on her. She looked at him.

"What do I have something on my face?" she smiled.

"No…you don't…" he smiled back.

"So why are you staring at me?"

"No reason," he laughed quietly. The waitress came with some coffee for them and they gladly drank it. They sat in silence drinking and getting warm. The waitress came back with their orders and they ate. Koga glanced at Kagome from time to time. He just couldn't seem to get her out his mind. Kagome could feel his gaze again but didn't want to look up so she tried to ignore it. But she couldn't and she looked up and met his gaze. They stayed like that in a sort of trance. The waitress brought the check which snapped them both of it. They paid and left. The drive back was quiet but not uncomfortable. They pulled up to Kagome's house in no time.

"Thanks for today Koga…it was a lot of fun," she smiled.

"I'm glad you liked it," he smiled back.

"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yea, hey do you want me to pick you up for school?"

"Umm…sure that sounds great,"

"Okay then, see you tomorrow," he smiled and she smiled back. She got out of the car and walked inside the house. He pulled out of the drive way and drove off.

"Kags? Is that you?" her dad called from the living room.

"Yea it's me dad," she smiled and walked into the living room. She saw her dad on the couch watching the football game. She sat down next to him.

"How was your day with Koga?" he kissed her head. She smiled brightly.

"It was great. We had lots of fun. How was work?"

-sigh- "Boring as always…there's nothing really going on in this small little town, but other then that it was good," he laughed.

"Well that's good to hear I guess," she laughed with him.

"So are you ready for school tomorrow?"

-sigh- "Not really…but I can't avoid it…" he laughed.

"Oh come on Kags…it's not that bad,"

"Okay if you say so, but the good thing is that Koga is going to show me around," she smiled happily.

"Oh really? That's great news,"

"Yea so I'm going to go to bed now, I want to be wide awake tomorrow, goodnight," she stood up and kissed her dad.

"Okay goodnight. Oh have you gone over your schedule already?"

"Oh yea I looked over it, don't worry," she smiled and went upstairs. She closed her door and changed into her pajamas. She slipped into the sheets and fell asleep. But unknown to her, someone was watching her from the darkness.

"Sleep well Kagome, and have sweet dreams…" the person smiled darkly and disappeared.
