Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Valkyrie Profile! Okay! On to other things!

Letssee, I think its been close to two or three weeks since I last updated...my bad. Too many things going on at once. I wrote two series of Fruits Basket stories (major spoilers about graphic novel #17) and wrote more on some other stories I'm writing, some of which are my own compositions.

Enough with the chit-chat. Next chapter up and running. Better catch it! laughs


They sat together for the whole day and through the night. When morning came, the sun seemed warmer than the day before. It became so hot that even Freya noticed. She looked up at the sun and her eyes widened. It has to be his doing, because it couldn't be anyone else. He does like displaying his power like this.

Inuyasha wiped sweat off his face. "It's hot. It's never this hot around this time of year."

"Inuyasha, this isn't ordinary heat," she informed, then yelled at the sky, "Koga! I know you're there! Come out!"

From the sun itself, the god appeared, wings as if on fire, spread from his shoulders. He landed in front of the pair, smirking. "It took you long enough to figure out I'd arrived. I couldn't display my powers at night, so I waited until the sun rose."

Inuyasha's eyes widened, as he yelled, "Sesshomaru! Why are you here?!"

Koga crossed his arms. "Who is this, Freya? Have you become friends with a mortal?"

Freya shook her head. "He is but an acquaintance. Inuyasha. Koga, you also didn't show yourself at night because I'm stronger at night. At least you're not as dumb as I thought you were."

Inuyasha growled and knew that this couldn't be his older brother, but the god had such a likeness to the older dog youkai. He was wearing even the same clothes. He looked like a human, but his aura was so powerful that it even stifled the most powerful of youkai's. He then realized that Freya had outright lied to the god, saying that she barely knew him. She was protecting him, even now.

"I see. If he means nothing to you, then you'll come back to the heavens without another word."

"No."

Koga looked surprised. "No? Why not, Freya? Don't you want to spend the rest of time with me?"

She looked completely disgusted. "No! I hate you, Koga! Do I have to spell it out? I. Hate. You."

He laughed. "You're such a devil to catch, my love. You know you don't mean it." A/N: This guy's a dolt, isn't he? Then again, I shall quote something: "Fools aren't born, pretty girls make them that way in their spare time." Oh yes, that one was good.

Both Inuyasha and Freya stared at him in disbelief. Is he really this thick-skulled? she wondered. Even Inuyasha isn't this stupid. I can't stand him and he can't understand, or he won't. He's so blinded by his attraction to me that he refuses to see anything besides what he wants to see. I guess I'll have to bring light on the matter. She yelled at him, "Koga! There's no way that you could ever win my heart! It's already taken by someone else!"

Koga's eyes narrowed. "And who would this be?"

Freya grinned. "Now you understand, don't you? You have a rival! What're you going to do to him? Fry him to a crisp? If you do, then I'll never even consider even giving you the precious gift of my friendship!"

He crossed his arms over his chest. "I want to know who this man is, so I can see if he's worthy of your love."

"Why should I trust you with that information? For all you know, it could be some mortal who isn't even a lick of nobility. What would you do then? Torch him good?"

"It matters how respectful he is to the gods. If he isn't, then his life ends now. I can see that you must really care for him, to protect him so."

"Of course. Are you dumb enough not to know what love is when you see it?"

Inuyasha grinned. He didn't have to say anything in his defense. He was enjoying seeing Koga get insulted by Freya. But he would have to speak sometime, but only when Freya invited him.

"Must you insult me so? Fine, I won't kill him right away if I know who he is."

"If you must know, he stands beside me."

Koga gave Inuyasha the fiercest glare he'd never seen in his life. "This boy? You seriously love a boy that is several centuries my junior? I suppose he isn't even a hundred and fifty!" The god laughed.

Inuyasha growled. "I'm just over two hundred years old."

"I do, Koga," Freya stated. "There's something about him that draws me to him. I can't explain it, but I love him, and he loves me. We're the perfect match, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks."

"You have to prove that your love is true. The only way would be if you two have a child together," Koga insisted, smirking. "If you don't within the time limit, then either something is wrong, or your love isn't true. I'll be here to observe you."

Freya scowled. "You're so stubborn, Koga. You're gonna hang around for a year, just so I can prove to you that I've conceived? What're you gonna do if I don't have a child? I won't go back to the heavens if I fail. I don't love you, so I wouldn't be able to have any children with you."


And there you have it! Freya won't be moved, so what is Koga gonna do to convince her that he's the one for her? Will Inuyasha and Freya's love survive?

I guess you'll have to find out in the next chapter. Man, I sound like the weird guy who talks at the beginnings and endings of the DBZ episodes... Not cool.
