And here is the 2nd chapter!

Disclaimer:: I do NOT own Inuyasha or any of its characters!

::Kagome POV:: (9:00 PM)

'It's getting late' I thought to myself. 'I guess it's time to set up camp'

I walked for about 10 more minutes until I found a small clearing. I laid down my sleeping bag and gathered some wood for a small fire. I pulled out a small pot that I had brought with me and pored some water into it to make some Ramen. After I finished, I got ready to go to sleep.

~In the Morning (6:30 AM)~

I woke to the sound of rustling bushes. I instinctively grabbed my bow and shot out of my 'bed' aiming toward the sound. However, I lowered my weapon when a large black wolf stepped out into the clearing.

'It's one of Kouga's wolves.' I sighed and decided to pack up as the wolf howled, alerting Kouga of my location. Just as I had finished packing my things, Kouga appeared in front of me.

"Kagome, are you okay?" He looked really worried. I stared at him for a few seconds.

"Don't worry Kouga, I'm perfectly fine."

" Why the hell aren't you with mutt-face?" I ignored his question and looked away.

"What would you do if I was an Inuyoukai?" He stared at me like I was crazy.

"Kagome, what are-"

"Please just answer my question…"

"Well, inuyoukai or not, you are and will always be Kagome. " I smiled at him. He looked puzzled.

'I can trust Kouga, not to tell Inuyasha….at least…not yet.'

I looked away for a moment, then back to Kouga and sighed.

It took about an hour, but I told him everything. From the argument with Inuyasha, to now and why I am currently traveling alone. He looked sympathetic, but I waved it off.

" I should be heading out now." I stated simply. Kouga shook his head and grabbed my wrist when I turned away.

"I'm going with you. Inuyoukai or not, you won't be able to fully protect yourself yet. I'll help you get to the North." I mentally sighed at him.

"No, go home to Ayame."

"Ayame will understand! You're like a sister to us, and if something happens to you…..if something happens, I will never forgive myself. Ayame and I will be devastated!"

"Ayame's pregnant for Kami sake! You should be with her now and I will go alone." He was about to argue but I cut him off.

"That's final Kouga!" I whisper/yelled."I promise you I will be fine." He stared at me for a moment before nodding.

"Okay, fine." He sighed then hugged me.

"I'm going now, you better be careful. G'bye for now, Kagome-chan." He said before disappearing in a tornado of dust. I shook my head once more before I started off, once again, to the North.

Okay so I'm going to take down the authors Notes in a few days and chapter 3 should be up soon. Then in a few days chapter 4 should be up. Sorry the chapters so short! Chapter 3 will be longer.
