Chapter 5
Kagome wandered aimlessly through the forest trying to find Koga and his pack. She was sad from yelling at Inuyasha, and was pissed at herself for being sad. Just when she was about to go talk to him and forgive him, he runs his big, fat mouth! He deserved everything she said to him, so why didn't that make her feel any better? Why did it make her feel even worse?
She was tired of walking around lost so she was about to turn around and go back when she saw a small glow further off into the trees. She smiled and started running towards it. When she got closer she slowed down, just to make sure it was Koga and not some thugs, she really didn't want to go through almost dying twice. She walked out and had a bunch of people staring at her with smiles.
"Hi Kagome, what's up?" Hakaku looked up and smiled at her as she walked closer to the fire.
"Are you feeling Kagome? Better I hope." Ginta asked and smiled as she sat down next to them. She smiled at them and nodded her head.
"Yes, much better actually, thank you." She said sitting down, she was actually surprised when some of the wolves came over to her and cuddled with her, sensing she was sad and hurt.
"So I see mutt-face pissed you off even more?" Koga said as he walked through the trees and into the small clearing, a newly killed boar and small rabbits in his hands. She gave him a sad smile and looked away.
He walked to the pit and threw the carcasses in front of it. He walked over to Kagome and held out his hand, she gladly accepted it and they walked out further into the woods, no one questioning them.
They finally sat down at the river, a comfortable silence between them until she sighed.
"So, I guess you want to know what happened." She asked looking to the setting sun.
"I'm in no rush, I'll know when you're ready to tell me. You don't even have to if you don't want to, we could talk about something else if that makes you feel better." He said encouragingly. She sighed again and shifted her body towards him until she was facing him; he did the same to show she had his full attention.
"No it's ok. Well I don't really know where to start, I remember waking up in the morning a week ago and saw Inuyasha gone, we waited for a couple hours but he still didn't show up. Then I remember hearing Naraku's voice, and him saying something about Inuyasha not being there to protect me. After that I just remember darkness." She told him sadly, a few tears escaping.
He looked at her and wanted to go kick the half dog demon's ass, how could he do this to the poor girl? All of it, what did she do to deserve this? "He's an idiot, I don't get why he's so hung up on that Kikyo woman. She's dead! And she seems like a bitch." She gave him a look at that statement.
"Koga, that's not nice. True I can't stand her, but she was brought back here unwillingly and now can't rest in peace because of her grudge against Naraku. Don't you even feel a little sorry for her?" Now he gave her a look that clearly said: 'no, why would I when she's putting you through this?' She sighed and nodded, understanding his silent words.
"Even still, I don't know how or why he would leave you behind like that." He said shaking his head.
"Because he loves her!" She suddenly shouted, making him jump and look at her. "Because he would go to hell with her and not care who he's leaving behind! And he doesn't know how much I would miss him, how much I love him; I don't even think he cares. Because they understand each other so much they think no one else in the world understands what's going on, and I hate it!" She shouted, tears rushing down her face.
Koga couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He knew she didn't like pity but honestly, who wouldn't when they were hearing this. He was never good with girls crying, but he did want to comfort her. He slid over to her side so he could sling and arm over her shoulder and give her a hug. She put her head on his shoulder and sobbed her heart out, unable to control it anymore.
"It's too bad, if only Inuyasha knew what would have happened if he didn't go find the priestess." He said as he chuckled bitterly. That's what made Kagome suddenly stop crying. He looked at her concerned when she turned white. "Kagome, what's wrong?"
"H-how could Naraku have known if Inuyasha was with us or not?" She asked shakily. He looked at her confused. "He said when he came out of the shadows, 'I see Inuyasha isn't here to protect you, he went off to see his former lover.' How did he know Inuyasha wouldn't be there? More specifically how did he know Inuyasha was with Kikyo?" She asked again.
He looked at her understanding her thinking. "Maybe it was just bad timing…?" He said thinking harder. She looked at him seriously, her eyes sending him a glare that said: 'try again'.
"No, no it was much more than that. He planned that, but how? How would he know that Inuyasha would leave all of a sudden unless Naraku knew Kikyo… was around…?" She finished, her eyes widening at the end,
"Kagome, what? What is it?" Koga asked, shaking her softly when she stood still as a statue. She looked back at him and started shaking her head.
"Oh come on Koga! I know you're not the sharpest wolf in the pack but think about it! Inuyasha would always go to see Kikyo, no matter what. And this one time he does, Naraku comes by just after he's left! Something's not right here! Naraku and Kikyo must have worked together in trying to kill me!" She yelled as she stood up.
Koga stood not long after her and started shaking his head, soon after started to pace. "Kagome, I don't feel right jumping to conclusions like that." He said nervously.
"It's not jumping to conclusions when you know its true Koga. This isn't the first time she or Naraku has tried to kill me. Look Naraku has never come when Inuyasha wasn't there, and when he came it seemed like he knew, like he was confident Inuyasha wasn't coming back." She said sadly.
"I don't know Kagome; I don't want to say anything without having more facts. I know what she's done to you is far from right but we don't know that much, so I don't want to say anything and be wrong. Maybe we should investigate this more or, I don't know, something." He reasoned. "Besides, you're upset and hurt with Inuyasha and want to put the blame on someone about what happened to you, but saying all this stuff you don't have any proof of isn't right. How about we take a few more days so you can recover more and then start filling in the blank spots alright?"
She nodded in agreement. "Your right Koga, we can't make assumptions when we don't know everything. Do you think I can stay with you for a while, until we sort this out?" She asked clasping her hands together nervously.
"Of course Kagome, just until we know for sure you're safe and you can have a chance to patch things up with the mutt. But Kagome, if we don't get far with this, I want you to go back to your group with Inuyasha. After this my men and I will be looking for Naraku again and I don't want or need you getting hurt again. Understand?" He asked nervously, looking into her eyes though.
She thought about it for a second, and then nodded slowly. "Ok Koga, it's a deal. If we don't get far with our 'investigation' I will go back to Inuyasha and you will hunt down Naraku."She smiled, confident in herself and finding answers.
"Good, well, if we want to be fresh and ready for tomorrow, we need a good night's rest. Lets head back and go to sleep; you especially need it with your wound." He said as they both made their way to the campsite.
So, how was it? Well Kagome is now thinking that Kikyo had something to do with her injury. Well Kagome you are right! And now, Koga and Kagome are getting closer, trying to find what the cause for her attack was. How is Inu going to like this, oooh. Well thanks for reading and again sorry for the long wait but I thought it was a good chapter update don't you? Read and review if you liked it!
