Chapter: 5

My Women's Era, Awakening Sorrow

Picking Kagome up into his warm, safe, and muscular cradling arms Kouga leapt forth into the well and, into Kagome's era not knowing what lie ahead of him. However he was determined to protect her with his life, just as he had done not too long ago with InuYasha. "Kagome?," Kouga questioned her while looking into her chocolate orbs. "What's your era like?" He continued with a small smile that made Kagome melt inwardly. "You'll see Kouga-kun."

Kagome replied back with a smile. Before Kouga could ask anything else he was overtaken by the sensation of warmth and, floating. He looked around and saw the same beautiful colors that originated when Kagome shot her purity arrows. He was astounded to say the least.

He hardly even heard when Kagome told him that they had arrived in her era. He stood

up after his knees gently touched that of ground soil and, immediately leered up into the well-house's rafters with a curious look that made Kagome giggle and, come out of her daze. "What's so funny?" Kouga asked while staring at said Mirai miko. "Nothing..it's just you seem so kawaii right now." She continued with a giggle which made him blush a light carnation.

"Yeah..laugh at the guy who could've eaten you instead falling in love with you!" Kouga

said jokingly as leapt out of the well and, out into the sunshine noticing with his trademark sapphire orbs that Kagome was blushing the whole time from what he had said. "Oh no.." Kagome said with an exasperated look on her features as she saw her Ojii-san sweeping outside the doors steps as usual. "What's wrong Kagome-chan?" Kouga asked in concern, having had noticed her scent had changed to worry for some reason. "Kagome-san, get away from that youkai!" Ojii-san yelled as he ran forth and, planted several ofuda's on Kouga's head, tail, armor, and, legs..well actually anywhere visible to him. "No Ojii-san this is Kouga-kun, he's a good youkai!" Kagome explained as Kouga was trying to mumble a few incoherent curses had it not been for the ofuda's jammed in his mouth as well. "Where's InuYasha? dear child?" Ojii-san questioned Kagome and, this gave Kouga the ability to burst through the paper that was binding him from speaking. "You mean Inu-Koro?! the jerk who tried to kill me and Kagome?!" He seethed out in a growl. "He what?!" Ojii-san yelled with rage then, embraced his granddaughter where she couldn't breathe. "Ojii-san..?" Kagome questioned from his shrine haori. "Hai, Kagome-san?" He answered in return with another question. "Ojii-san I can't breathe and, you smell like sake'!" Kagome yelled which in turn caused her grandfather to release her into the arms of the caring Ookami-youkai prince where he fanned her until she could move again. "Were you trying to get your own grandaughter drunk off your sake' fumes old man?!" Kouga yelled as he protectively held Kagome in his arms. "Iie..I wasn't." Ojji-san

replied and gestured towards the house which Kouga helped Kagome walk to.

"Goodness me!" Okaa-san exclaimed as she embraced her daughter tightly who was sitting in Kouga's arms. "Kagome are you okay?!" She enquired Kagome as she felt of her head. "She's okay.. if you count trying to drown your granddaughter in your scent of sake' okay.." Kouga said while staring at the strange woman who was touching "His Kagome" .

"And who are you?" Okaa-san asked upon seeing Kouga in the doorway to her home.

"Could it be your one of Inu-kun's friend's?" Okaa-san asked with a smile then, saw Kouga's tail which moving back and forth in a gentle motion because he was happy to be near Kagome.

"And you have a tail!" She continued as she ran over and, started to pet Kouga's said tail.

"Kagome!" Kouga yelled and, clung to the Mirai miko as he was being inspected.

"Make her stop!" He continued while hiding behind the couch from Okaa-san. Kagome herself was in a mad fit of giggles. "Oh yeah! wait until you meet my parents they'll love you too!"

Kouga said in response to Kagome's giggling. "Sorry Kouga-kun.." Kagome said with an apologetic look in her eyes as well as on her lovely features. "Okaa-san.. stop pestering Kouga-kun." Kagome said trying to hide a giggle. "Okay dear..but Souta will be home soon."

"Oh no.." Kagome said with another exasperated sigh as she sat down onto the couch.

"Kouga-kun I'm so sorry..you have to meet my little brother." Kagome said with a sigh.

"Is he as bad them?" Kouga said gesturing with his thumb to Ojii-san and Okaa-san who were keeping their distance between Kagome and her "Boyfriend" . "Worse.." Kagome said with all honesty as she slumped back against the couch cushion. "I'm home!" An all too familiar voice called throughout the house as it rang. "That him?" Kouga asked while looking at Kagome.

"Yep." Kagome answered in return. "Let's get this over with.." Kouga said and, walked to Souta who had just entered the living room. "Hi kid." Kouga said plainly. "Oh hey!" Souta said practically with stars in his eyes. "InuYasha you changed your outfit.." Souta said with an

innocent blink. "I'm not InuYasha, I'm Kouga." Kouga said wagging his tail in response. "Oh wow!" Souta yelled out as he saw the tail. "You have a tail!" And with that said he grabbed Kouga's tail to see if it was real. "So cool it's real!" Souta exclaimed then, ran to the couch to sit next to Kagome to ask Kagome about her new "Boyfriend" . "Hey Kagome, this guy is alot cooler than InuYasha!" He said as Kouga sat next to Kagome wearing his trademark smirk.

"What kinda youkai is he?!!" Souta said while looking at Kouga with admiration gleaming in his eyes. "I'm an Ookami-youkai." Kouga said with a proud grin of his heritage.

"Oh wow!" Souta said then, asked several more questions more before heading upstairs to do his homework. "Kawaii chibi.." Kouga said with a yawn, having been tired out from having answered all of his questions. "Heh, Kagome-chan you actually didn't know that an Ookami-youkai's mortal enemy was the Tora-youkai?" Kouga asked Kagome with a smile.

"Umm..no I didn't." Kagome said while wearing a light blush. "Awww soo kawaii!" Okaa-san

said upon noticing this. "I could learn to accept you into the family m'boy." Ojji-san said with a

warm smile towards Kouga. "I already accept him! I want lots of grandchildren!" With this said

from Okaa-san Kagome blushed the darkest shade of red and, Kouga grinned. "I'm glad to be accepted, my pack accepts you too." Kouga said with a smile.

Later That Night..

"Kagome! dinner!" Okaa-san called from down the foot of the stairs as Kouga was pacing around Kagome's room in an inspecting manner. "Kagome, you have so much more interesting things in your den than our pack does." He said while admiring Kagome's alarm clock which went off as he touched it with the tip of his finger. "Ahh! youkai!" Kouga yelled while grabbing it with his right hand and, practically flinging it out the window, where a very surprised calico inspected it it with it's paw and mewled at it in curiousity.

"So Kouga-kun, what do you do in the Sengoku-Jidai?" Okaa-san asked him with a smile as Kouga was staring at the fork and, trying to figure out whether or not it was a weapon or a tool to eat with of this era. "Hmm?" He replied in a light gruff voice hardly looking up at all. "You ask something?" Kouga continued with a blink then, went back to staring at the fork as if it was the most amazing thing he had ever seen in his life.

"I asked what do you do in the Sengoku-Jidai?" She asked again wearing the same bright smile. "I'm the Ookami-youkai youkouzoru leader, why do you ask?" Kouga asked with a proud smirk while he looked over at Kagome who was smiling at the pleasentries of the conversation.

"My what a strong husband you'll make for Kagome." Okaa-san said with a smile which caused Kagome to blush a light pink. "Mmhmm, much better than Inu-koro anyways." Kouga agreed with her fullheartedly. Kagome's Ojii-san however wasn't so sure of having his only granddaughter married off to an Ookami-youkai, royalty in his pack or not. He didn't speak his disapproval however, he wasn't foolish.

"Kouga you can call me Okaa-san." Okaa-san said with a bright smile. "Okay." He looked back at his future mother in-law with a smile of equal brightness.

"However if you plan to live here with Kagome anytime soon you'll have to buy some clothes of this time." Okaa-san said with a smile. "What's wrong with my clothes?" Kouga asked with an innocent blink of confusion. "Nothing, I find them perfectly fine it's just that other people of this era may not be as open-minded." She said yet again with a smile. "It also means Kagome can show you around town tomorrow." Hearing this Kouga brightened and, looked at Kagome who smiled and began to eat. Kouga seeing Kagome using the fork for what it was used for quickly began to ravage his food of steak, potatoes, and corn, veering from the vegtables for last being of canine heritage and all.

The Sengoku-Jidai With A Certain Inu-Hanyou..

Awakening in the water of a nearby lake, InuYasha sat up and, looked around to find he was alone. Kagome wasn't by his side and, all because of the mangey Ookami-youkai he despised. Whom he had saw her kissing lovingly. It tore him inside, awoke a sorrow and a rage all at the same time.

He wished he could take back how he went to his youkai form and, attacked Kouga and, even his dearest Kagome.. He was lost in his thoughts until noon rolled around, that's when Kikyou's shinidamachuu showed up along with her among them, soaring in the sky like some celestial goddess that shouldn't be. Something so fragile that if touched it would ruin or break at the slightest touch.

"InuYasha." Kikyou said as she approached him with tears in her chocolate eyes that matched those of Kagome's so much. "InuYasha..your alive.." Kikyou said as she brought him into a deep embrace to her heart which he did not jump away from.

"K-Kikyou..I missed you.." He said as he stared into her eyes which were sorrowful as was his soul. "Kikyou I need you by my side." InuYasha declared as he rested his head upon her crown of raven hair which was also oh so like Kagome's. "InuYasha I have come to tell you something.." Kikyou began but was cut off by InuYasha's lips brushing against her own, her chocolate orbs wides, slowly closed as she returned the kiss she had longed to give him whilst she had been alive. "What is it Kikyou?" InuYasha questioned Kikyou after pulling away from her, a warm loving look in his eyes.

"InuYasha, that was our last kiss.." Kikyou said and, got to her feet as the shinimadachuu carried her over to a tree where she sat perched upon a branch elegantly. "K-K-Kikyou I don't understand.." InuYasha called out while looking at the beautiful miko who was waiting for the inevitable. "InuYasha, we have loved..I have loved you..since I laid my eyes upon you." Kikyou said with a tear rolling down her cheek. "But I will be going to hell tonight, it is agreed by the gods themselves that I can't coexist with the mirai miko..or as you call her Kagome." Kikyou continued and, turned to look to see InuYasha punching his fist into a tree roughly. "InuYasha I am sorry..onegai understand.." She continued after the retreating form of the inu-hanyou was now shedding tears of his own, tears of awakening sorrow.

"I refuse to tell him. Tell him that I have a second chance at life as an angel.." Kikyou cried out as the tenshi's enveloped her in a radiant light and, she fell from the tree with a scream.

"Kikyou!" InuYasha heard the scream and, came running to see Kikyou lying upon the ground. Taking her up in his arms, he warmly embraced as he had in her sham body as he had for her in the past as he wished to do now..
