Hint one on identity of Stalker: The stalker is from Japan. No one guessed it yet…sigh, I thought it was obvious. 4 reviews I'm happy, not as happy as the twelve reviews from last chapter.
Kouga let her go reluctantly, "Kagome, we need to get you to my place, it's about a mile away; I'll call Ginta and Hakkaku to come with a car."
Clark came in through the door to see what looked like Shippo chatting excitedly on his mother's lap. Clark blinked rubbing his eyes, 'That can't be Shippo, it has a tail and fox legs.'
Shippo looked up at the noise and squeaked, "Hey, Clark-kun, where have you been? All Kirara told me is that you left with 'kaa-chan. What sort of demon are you? Do you have any special powers? Mine are my kitsune bi and I'm reeeeeeaaaaaaallllllllyyyyy really good at my illusions, I can even remember to disguise my tail now."
Clark backed away slowly bumping into Kagome who was standing on the bottom stair, "Shippo, he doesn't know about demons you mustn't pounce him with your questions."
Shippo nodded and Martha looked up at the miko, "What's Kouga doing?"
Kagome opened her mouth when a long howl interrupted her. Sighing Kagome pointed her head towards the noise, "He's calling Ginta and Hakkaku, two of his pack members. I thought he was going to use he phone… oh well, his howl sounds awesome."
Kouga appeared behind her, "I'm glad you like it, Kagome. Ginta and Hakkaku say they'll be here in a few, they missed their little sister."
Kagome flushed and nodded, "I've missed them too."
Jonathan stood, "So you're one of these demon things."
Kagome put a restraining arm on Kouga, "Jonathan-san, demons are living beings and not objects to be called things. It's very disrespectful."
Clark shook his head, "What on earth are you people talking about? Kagome, I was wondering were you alright, you didn't look too hot at The Talon."
Kagome nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine…how'd it go with Lana, I saw you trying to talk to her."
Clark shook his head, "Lana and I are just friends."
Kouga snorted and turned his head, "And you aren't interested in her? I could smell your arousal when you were near her."
Kagome covered Shippo's ears, "Kouga, Shippo's here I don't want him to ask any questions about that just yet, it's bad enough he heard the phone call from that guy."
Kouga chuckled, "He probably knows more then he lets on. Kitsunes are sensual creatures, and they teach their offspring when they are very little."
Kagome looked at Shippo in her arms, then back at Kouga, "How do you know so much about kitsunes?"
Kouga smirked, "Jeolous, love?"
Kagome shook her head, "Call it curiosity."
The ookami ran a hand through his hair, "Well, you will always be my woman, I happen to employ a few, you know to work on the illusions."
The young miko smiled, "I like you like this better. Your tail is just too cute."
Martha came up behind him and started to pet the tail. Kouga gave a yelp and jumped facing Martha who was surprised at the movement, "Ka-kagome, your cousin just molested me."
Kagome hid a snicker, "The love of furry things must be a family trait. Don't worry, Martha-chan, my mom was always tempted to play with InuYasha's ears, so was I, if you wanted to get down to it."
Kouga turned to her, a small growl rising up in his throat, "Tell me you never acted on it."
Kagome blinked, "I've only done it once, when I first saw him pinned to the tree, I wanted to see if they were real. Mom's done it more times, it's funny InuYasha would purr all the while trying to fight it and pull away."
Kouga grumbled, "It's inappropriate for someone who isn't the demon's mate or family to do that."
Kagome looked abashed, then brighten, "So I can play with Sesshomaru."
Kouga didn't know whether to be threatened or to laugh at the mental picture, "I think he would kill you if you tried it, then bring you back only to kill you again."
Kagome snorted, "He loves me, I'm his imouto."
The wolf prince shrugged, "Well he always tried to kill InuYasha and he's related by blood."
Kagome cringed at that little revelation, "Ah…man…, and he's pissed about the ballet comment, too."
Martha looked troubled, "Is it safe for you to actually leave, if this guy's out there?"
The Japanese girl smiled to relax her American relatives, "Do not worry, Johnathan-san, it's a running joke amongst us three, Sesshomaru-sama would never really try and kill me."
Clark spoke up, "So Sesshomaru is one of these demons too?"
Kagome nodded, "Not only that, he's a demon lord, you cannot tell anyone any of this; I trust you can keep this secret along with Clark's secret."
Kouga snorted, "I'm a demon lord too."
Kagome gasped, "Really you never told me, Kouga-sama."
He winced at the new honorific to his name, "Don't call me that Kagome. You're my woman, you don't need to address me so formally."
The honking of a car horn ended any discussion as Kagome and Kouga carrying the luggage to the black Mitsubishi Lancer. Shippo and Kirara trotted inside to pounce on Ginta, Hakkaku was behind the steering wheel, "Kagome-nee-chan! It's good to see you again after so long, we haven't had much time to talk the last time we saw you."
Kagome bid farewell to the Americans who were so kind as to take her in. Kouga grabbed her and flung her over his shoulder, Kagome chuckled, "Well, this is a familiar sight."
Kouga smirked, and placed her in the car he joined her and shut the door behind him. He pulled an arm around her and was beginning to nuzzle her neck when her cellphone rang. Kagome looked at it then picked it up much to Kouga's annoyance. "Moushi, Moushi, Kagome speaking."
Kagome heaved a sigh of relief when it was her mother speaking. When asked about how she was feeling she asked her question, "Mama, did you give this number to anyone?"
Kun-loon gave the negative, "I left the number in the drawer right here…that's strange I can't find where I left it…why is something the matter?"
Kagome eased her mind, "No, no I was just curious, I didn't want to be woken up by my friends at 2:30 in the morning because they wanted to gush about Houjo."
Kagome heard the doorbell through the phone, Kun-Loon answered and a gruff voice could be heard asking if Kagome was in, "Officer why do you need to speak with my daughter?"
The man took off his cap and stepped inside, "We believe she may have known the rapist of a girl by the name of Hitomi Eri, she recalls when the guy climaxed called out "Kagome" and then the distorted voice said, "Next time…I want to be in you when I come and see your beautiful face. You're little friends beside you can watch if they promise to behave." We have reason to believe that this person has been targeting your daughter. So if you can tell me her location I can send an officer over to question her and ensure her safety."
Kun-Loon gasped and handed the phone over explaining to the officer that it was Kagome on the line. Kagome fidgeted, she couldn't hear what was going on after the officer stepped into the main house. Then the gruff voice spoke to her, "Is this Higurashi Kagome?"
Kagome nodded then realizing with a flush she was on the phone, "This is she."
The man spoke, "I'm Detective Honda, I wanted to ask you a few questions, is there a place we could meet?"
Kagome sighed, "I am so Sorry, Detective Honda, I am not in the country right now, I'm staying in America, with some friends."
Kouga snatched the phone away from her, "This is Kouga Ookami, what is this about?"
The detective glared at the phone, "I believe that is a matter between Higurashi-san and I."
Kouga growled, "The fuck it is. She has been harassed today by some stalker who had the audacity to threaten her, so I have taken her into my care, and I suggest you don't bother her unless it is something important."
Detective Honda explained what happened, and flinched when he heard the growl from the head of Wolf Corp, "Yes, so the mother fucker is in Japan, he called her just a few minutes ago, with that message she said"
Kagome tried to hear what was going on but was stopped by Kouga who nipped at her fingers. She pulled away and pouted silently, sending death glares at Ginta and Hakkaku who were laughing at how she was punished in the traditional youkai manner, though usually it involved biting the neck. Shippo turned around and watched the display, "'kaa-chan, are you and Kouga going to get together? Because my Papa used to do that with Mama, then Mama told him he couldn't get none, which always causes Papa to apologize. What wouldn't Mama give Papa? I thought you were always supposed to share? That's what everyone says? Will you not give any of it to Kouga? Why are you so red?"
Here is another chapter, any guess to the stalker? I'm going to leave more clues as the story continues, and I want Kagome to actually go to Smallville High, so she'll pop up there soon.
