Notes: I do not own Inuyasha
Lust or Love
Chapter 5
The sun slowly peered over the mountain tops of the eastern wolf demon caves the darkness of night being chased away by the early sunrise.
Deep into the caves of the wolf demons in the chambers of Kouga's bed room. Kagome lay asleep in his bed as the morning light slowly faded in. Kagome did not rest easy though she tossed and turned in her sleep at the dream or rather nightmare she was having.
Kagome's Dream
Kagome sat in a dark place no sign's of life only a bright light shining down on her. "Where am I?" Kagome asked aloud, as she got to her feet. "What is this place?" Kagome looked around but seeing nothing but darkness. "Kouga! Tanashi! Sango! Anyone out there!" Kagome called no one answered.
Kagome quickly began to panic where was everyone where was she? Suddenly a low sound like a pin dropping caught Kagome's attention. She turned to see another light shining down from above but a figure was standing in the middle. "Um excuse me can you help me?" Kagome asked as she took a step forward. She slowly narrowed her eyes trying to make the figure out Kagome gasped the figure before her was none other then a silver haired Han-yo.
"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome took a few steps forwards Inuyasha was standing before her but his back was turned so she could not see his face.
"Inuyasha is that you?" Kagome asked was this real? Inuyasha slowly turned his head only enough for his eyes to meet hers he gave her one single glance before turning his back again. He slowly began to walk off into the darkness not saying a word.
"Inuyasha! Wait!" Kagome called she tried to run after him but no matter how fast Kagome ran Inuyasha was out of her reach.
"No! Inuyasha!" Kagome tried frantically to run after him but it was too late he was now nothing more then a figure in the shadows. Kagome felt tears fall down her cheek as she kept running after him calling his name.
"INUYASHA!!!"
End dream
Kagome quickly jumped up so now she was sitting in Kouga's bed sweat running down her brow. Kagome raised her hand to her face as she cupped her cheek "It was a dream?" Kagome quickly took a few deep breaths trying to calm herself.
After Kagome collected herself, she looked over to Kouga's side of the bed thinking she was going to see him lying next to her. He was not there again suddenly Kagome herd footsteps coming towards her. She quickly looked up to see Sango heading towards the bed "Good morning Kagome" She gave Kagome a warm smile.
"Sango? Good morning" Kagome replied a bit puzzled why she was there. "Well get up Kagome you have a big day ahead of you." Sango said cheerfully as she slowly walked over to the bed as she sat beside Kagome.
"Big day for what? Where is Tanashi?" Kagome asked to her cheerful friend. "Tanashi sent me to get you ready then we are going to go visit Kouga." Sango replied
Kagome went a bit wide-eyed. "Kouga what for?"
"Kouga will explain everything later right now you need to get ready." Sango quickly got to her feet as she walked over to a bag she had brought in with her she quickly looked through it as she pulled out a kimono.
It was the same kimono Ginta had given her the first night she had met with Kouga the one with the pink flowers with a pink obi. Kagome smiled she had liked that kimono even if it held one bad memory in it. Sango quickly walked back over to Kagome as she handed her the silken dress hinting for her to change.
Kagome sat on the stone floor of Kouga's den with her new kimono now on as Sango sat behind her. Only she was sitting on Kouga's bed Kagome rested her neck against Sango's knees as Sango braded Kagome's hair.
"Kagome can I ask you something." Sango asked running a small comb through Kagome's thick silken hair. "Sure" Kagome replied, "Who is Inuyasha?" Kagome went wide-eyed at the question. "Why do you ask me that?"
Sango was a bit taken back at Kagome's change in tone "Well its just when I came in here you were asleep but you were saying the name Inuyasha allot." Sango paused as she felt Kagome's body stiffen. "I'm just curious is all... was he an old friend of yours or perhaps a lover." Sango said in a teasing voice as a close friend would with another friend trying to lighten the conversation.
Kagome felt a pang of sadness though she smiled trying to hide it "He was a guy I knew a long time ago." Sango went a bit wide-eyed she was interested in why Kagome was acting so strange. "What ever happen to him?" Kagome sighed heavily "We fell out of touch a long time ago." Kagome laid "Oh I see well best not linger on the thought, oh and look I'm all done with your hair." Sango exclaimed as she finished Kagome's hair before getting to her feet.
Sango quickly stepped in front of Kagome as she extended her hand down. "Come on lets go meet up with your new lover Kouga." Sango said in a sarcastic voice. "Ha Ha very funny" Kagome said dully as she took Sango's hand and got to her feet. "Well let's get going" Sango smiled before leading Kagome out of the cave.
Kagome and Sango worked there way through the caves and tunnels until they made it to the mane den. Sango led Kagome past all the other male wolf demons until Kagome spotted one demon particular.
There was Kouga with his back turned to her talking with Ginta and Hakkaku. Kouga continued his conversation with his two right and left-hand men. Until the sweet sent of cherry blossoms danced under his nose. Kouga quickly recognized the sent as he turned to see Kagome and Sango coming towards him.
Kouga smiled as he noticed the outfit Kagome was wearing the pink kimono that complemented her body so well. "Kagome you look beautiful" Kouga quickly made his way in front of Kagome as he took her hands in his giving her a charming smile. Kagome looked at her hands being held by Kouga's as she felt a blush spread across her face. Her blush grew as she heard whispers and snickering from the men in the den watching there leader tease his slave.
"Well you two have fun" Sango smiled at Kagome's discomfort as she began walking back into the direction she came. Kagome instantly pulled her hands away from Kouga's grasp as she turned towards her friend "Wait Sango where are you going?"
Sango smiled over her shoulder but kept walking "Me and Tanashi are covering your chore's for the day so I better get to work see you later Kagome." With that, Sango vanished into the surroundings.
"Covering my chore's what does she mean by that?" Kagome asked out loud "She means she will be doing your work while me and you are away for the day." Kouga came up behind Kagome causing her to quickly turn around in surprise. "Away? What do you mean away? Where are you taking me?" Kagome asked in a serious tone but she still was confused. "Relax I am just going to show you around the mountains then we will return before night fall." Kagome narrowed her eyes she did not like the tone in Kouga's voice it sounded mischievous.
Kouga gave her a slight smirk "Just trust me now we should get going." Kouga wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist as he began to lead her out the cave. When they where almost outside Kouga halted and looked over his shoulder to Ginta and Hakkaku. "You two keep an eye on things." Kouga barked
Ginta and Hakkaku both gave a slight nod Kouga node back before in the blink of an eye he swept Kagome off her feet and in to his arms holding her bridal style. Kagome let out an eep as she looked up at Kouga holding her. "Kouga put me dow-" Kagome did not get a chance to finish her statement as Kouga leapt from the cave in a single jump.
The wind blew gently as the sun's warm rays shown across the land coming upon a small dirt road.
The sound of a staff gently striking the ground as a traveling monk walked down the small path. He continued down the path until he halted looking at the path before him there was a split he could go left or right.
"Now let's see which way to go?" The monk asked looking at the paths then the sound of snoring caught his attention he turned to see an old man resting. His back against a large tree enjoying the shade it provided. "Umm excuse me sir" The monk called to the sleeping old man.
The sleeping old mad quickly sat up to see who had called out to him. "Umm yes may I help you sonny?" the old man asked. "Yes you see I am a little lost might you tell me witch road leads to the nearest village?" The monk asked the old man gave a slight nod "You would want the right path my dear boy." the old man extended a finger pointing to the right road.
"Thank you sir and I go by the name Miroku." He gave a warm smile before walking down the path that lead not to the nearest village but something better.
Kagome clung to Kouga's shoulders as she felt the air swirl around them. As Kouga leapt from cliff to cliff with the raging waters below them as she let out another ear piercing scream closing her eyes tightly.
"Would you stop screaming!" Kouga barked he had become annoyed fast at how many times Kagome had been screaming bloody murder. "I'll scream if I want to!" Kagome yelled in reply her eyes still shut as she let out more screams with every leap Kouga took.
Kouga tighten his grip on Kagome as he gave a few more leaps trying to endure the sounds coming from the woman in his arms. "I've eaten things that didn't scream this much!" Kouga yelled mentally "We are almost there so hold on!" With that Kouga gave one single leap sending him and Kagome soaring through the air.
Kagome screamed again "I can't take much more of this!" Kagome said in between screams. "I can't take much more of this either!" Kouga barked his ear's ringing with Kagome's screams.
The fires of the wolf demon kitchen rose as Tanashi added the last of the fire wood. Sango walked up behind the female wolf demon as she handed the cut vegetables she had just gathered. "Oh thank you" Tanashi said with a smile. "Your welcome" Sango replied as she made her way to the entrance of the room.
"Where are you going?" Tanashi asked over at Sango. "We need more fire wood I'll go get some." Sango replied "Alright hurry back though we still need to finish cleaning after this." Tanashi called after Sango. Sango gave her a slight nod as she made her way out of the room.
Moments Later
Miroku pushed his way through the thick under brush getting agitated. "That is the last time I ever get directions from old geezers!" Miroku spoke out loud he was completely lost he had no idea where he was. Miroku continued through the bushes having no idea where else to go "Ah here we go" Miroku froze as he heard the voice of a young woman near by. "A woman? In this decollate place? What luck!" Miroku smiled his lecherous smile.
Miroku pushed forward until a figure came into sight he froze as he hid behind a large tree looking around it spotting the person who had spoken earlier. His eyes widen at the sight there before him was a woman indeed but Miroku had not though he would find a beauty like this one.
She had long silken dark brown hair the hung below her waist her eyes matched her hair. She had a pink liner above her eye lid the enhanced her beauty. Her skin was a soft tan as she wore a pink spotted kimono with a green under part wrapped around her waist. She seemed to be gathering fire wood as she picked up yet another piece of wood.
Sango quickly froze as she felt the gaze of someone watching her she looked around shifting her eyes from side to side until something caught her eye. She looked to a tree not but a few feet away from her as she noticed there was an unusual shadow coming from behind it.
Miroku noticed she was looking around as he quickly placed himself flat against the bark of the tree hoping she had not spotted him. After a few moments Miroku looked back only to his surprise the woman was gone Miroku gave a heavy sigh as he shut his eyes turning back to the tree resting his head on the bark. "What a shame" Miroku said out loud. He quickly lifted his head about to walk away from this area but when he opened his eyes he gasped.
The woman was standing right in front of him! Before Miroku could get a word out she quickly stuck her foot behind his ankle and kicking forward sending him falling to the ground landing flat on his back. Sango quickly took hold of Miroku's staff as she stood over him she swiftly turned the staff to the jagged end as she held it to Miroku's neck. "Wretch! Why were you spying on me!?" Sango demanded to know as she stood tall over Miroku. Miroku swallowed the lump in his throat as he felt his own staff threaten his life.
"Please allow me to explain I am a mere monk I was lost in this forest and I just happened to come across you. I was hoping you could help me find my way out of this place." Miroku said trying to give her a weak smile. Sango's eyes widened as she looked at the face of the monk.
"Have we met? I feel as if I have seen you someone where before." Sango asked. Miroku felt a bit more at ease "I don't think so I would easily remember a beauty such as you." Miroku gave her a charming smile. Sango felt a small blush at her cheeks she looked down at the monk feeling as if he was not a threat.
Sango pulled the staff back as she thrust it into the ground beside the monks head. As she began walking away from him, "I can't help you I myself am not known to this area." Sango called over her shoulder. Miroku quickly got to his feet looking after the strange woman. "Please wait a moment!" Miroku called. Sango came to a sudden halt but did not turn around.
"I know I am a complete stranger but please could you put me up for one night. I am but a simple monk so I do not have any money to pay you but could you find it in your heart to assist me." Miroku pleaded after the strange woman Sango felt her eyes become as wide as plates at the thought of sharing a room with this man. Though he seemed strange he was very handsome true enough Kouga had given Sango her own room but did she want to share with some stranger.
Sango looked back at the monk he seemed nice enough "One night that's all" Sango said in a shaky voice as she walked even faster back the den the fire wood now in her hands. Miroku smiled after the woman as she quickly followed till he was walking beside her "Please allow me" Miroku spoke in a kind voice as he took the fire wood from Sango carrying it himself.
"Um thank you," Sango said in a shy voice a blush spread across her face. "So may I be so bold as to ask your name?" Miroku asked Sango looked up at Miroku for a moment before looking back down. "Umm it's Sango" Miroku smiled "Nice to meet you Sango I am Miroku." Sango looked up at the monk beside her. "Miroku" Sango smiled at the sound as the two walked in to the thick under brush vanishing from sight.
The sun shown brightly over the forest as both Kagome and Kouga walked down the dirt road. Large oak trees aligned the road casting there shade over Kagome and Kouga. After Kouga had finally made his way past the cliffs, he led Kagome to the back of the mountain where they began down on this road.
Kagome and Kouga walked side by side down the road, as they remained silent. Kouga looked over at Kagome looking straight ahead not paying any attention to him. Kagome felt Kouga's gaze on her so she decided to break the silence "Where are we going?" Kagome asked. "There is a place at the end of this road that I thought you might like." Kouga replied with a smile. "Oh what makes you think you know what I like?" Kagome asked she was not in the best of moods today she really did not feel like putting up with Kouga's antics. Kouga sensed the annoyance in Kagome's voice "I do not know what you like but if you were to tell me then maybe it would help." Kagome narrowed her eyes. "What do you want to know?" Kouga went a bit wide-eyed "How about you tell me everything that makes you happy." Kouga gave Kagome a charming smile. Kagome paused for a moment before replying, "Well my family for one my mom always makes me feel wonderful..." Kagome went on about her family and her friends before she knew it she had rattled on about twenty minutes with out stopping. Kouga did not miss a beat he remained silent but he listened with interest. Suddenly Kagome became very silent she finally realized she had spoken so much and Kouga was probably getting annoyed.
"Sorry" Kagome spoke as she hung her head low in shame and embarrassment. Kouga smiled down at her before he reached over to Kagome and took her hand in his.
He wrapped his fingers around her hand tenderly before speaking. "Don't be" Kagome looked down at her hand in Kouga's then looked up at him as she had to fight off a blush. ⌠So how much longer till we get there? Kagome asked trying to lighten the mood.
Kouga gave a mischievous smile "Well we will be there a lot faster if I do this!" With a blink of an eye Kouga swiftly lifted Kagome from the ground and into his arms holding her bridal style. "Oh no not again!" Kagome exclaimed but to no prevail Kouga leapt from the ground and into the trees jumping from branch to branch.
Kagome closed her eyes tight not wanting to watch Kouga felt Kagome's body tighten in fear. He merely increased his speed he was almost there Kouga gave one final leap through the air soaring through the sky. He pulled Kagome closer to him as he began to sore back down.
Then Kouga felt the firm ground beneath his feet still holding Kagome in his arms. He looked down at her she still had her eyes closed Kouga could not help but smile. "Kagome you can open your eyes."
Kagome waited a moment before responding her eyes slowly opened she looked up at Kouga smiling down at her. She turned her gaze from Kouga. As she noticed how much brighter the sun was in the place he had taken her.
She looked around then her eyes became as wide as plates. There in front of her was a very large lake with crystal blue water, and sand around the shallow end of the water.
Kagome gasped as a smile spread across her lips. She looked up at Kouga her eyes sort of asking him to put her down. Kouga gave her a slight nod as he placed her on the ground.
As soon as Kagome's feet touched the ground she ran to the water. Kagome quickly lifted her kimono up just past her ankles as she ran into the water letting it swirl around her feet. She kicked it playfully letting it splash around her "Its cold!" Kagome exclaimed.
Kouga gave a cocky smirk an idea formed in his head. He quickly made his way over to the water where Kagome was. He came up behind her as he wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her to him. Kagome let out a slight eep as she felt Kouga's armor press into her back. "Kouga?" Kagome asked looking leaning her head back to look at him.
Kouga gave her a cocky smile he quickly lifted her off her feet as he began pulling her into the deeper end of the water. Kagome felt the water seep into her kimono as she was pulled further into the water. "Kouga!" Kagome screamed trying to break his grasp on her.
Kouga could not keep his balance with Kagome thrashing in his arms. Suddenly they fell into the crystal water around them.
Splash!
Kouga quickly sat up now completely soaked he was sitting in the water. His waist and up was this only thing out of the water his raven black hair in front of his eye's. He quickly pushed it aside as he felt himself chuckle that had not gone like he planed. He looked around seeing Kagome sitting like he was a few feet away. He could not help but laugh at the look on her face Kagome looked over at Kouga. "What did you do that for? Now I am completely soaked!" Kagome whined. Kouga merely smiled at her "Oh lighten up." Kouga quickly extended his hand up as he splashed the water sending it spraying over Kagome.
Kagome quickly placed her hands up trying to block it but to no prevail. Kouga quickly began to laugh at her antics "Oh you think that's funny?" Kagome asked she swiftly splashed the water but this time it struck Kouga. Kagome cupped her hands over her mouth as she began to giggle. "Alright you want to play dirty?" Kouga asked he quickly got to his feet as he hit the water over and over sending at Kagome.
"Ah stop it!" Kagome managed to say between giggles. She quickly got to her feet and began to run through the water in an effort to try an escape. Kouga quickly followed in pursuit Kagome smiled as she struck the water trying to hit Kouga back. Kouga quickly ran through the wave Kagome had sent as he took Kagome into his arms. To his surprise Kagome was still smiling as he spun her around in the water. Kagome continued to giggle "Kouga!" Kagome exclaimed. She placed her hand's over Kouga's as he held her waist tight.
Kouga quickly lifted Kagome into his arms holding her bridal style as he walked back to the sand. When he reached it he sat Kagome down as he sat beside her. Kagome looked over at the water then down at her kimono. "Now my kimono is completely soaked." Kagome gave a heavy sigh Kouga looked over at her. "Yeah so is my fun" Kouga joked.
They remained silent for a few moments before Kouga spoke. "I know a fast way to dry off though" Kagome looked over at Kouga with interest "Really how?" Kagome watched as Kouga got to his feet and walked in front of Kagome. He looked down at her before extending out his hand. "Walk with me" Kouga gave her a smirk Kagome hesitated before she took hold of his hand he then pulled Kagome to her feet.
Kouga gave her a charming smile as he took her hand in his. As they began to walk through the shallow water and the sand side by side.
Two Hours Later
The sun began to fade under the horizon casting its pink and orange rays over the water of the lake. As Kagome and Kouga still holding hands strolled down the sand.
"So the moral of the story is just because it is shiny does not always mean you should eat it." Kagome could not help but giggle as Kouga finished telling the story of some of his child hood adventures.
Kagome smiled up at Kouga before speaking "Sounds like you had a very colorful childhood." Kouga to Kagome's surprise did not smile as much as she had hoped he would. "If that is what you want to call it." There was an weary silence before Kouga decided to change the subject. "So Kagome I don't mind hearing more about your family." Kagome hesitated for a moment before replying. "I have told you all about my family. I want to hear about yours what are your parents like?" Kouga went a bit wide eyed at the question. "Well... I have not talked to them in many years, but the last I heard they were doing well."
"You mean you never see them?" Kagome asked in surprise how could anyone not speak to there own parents in years? "Well my mother has written a few letters to me." Kouga tried to justify his actions. "Oh your mother! What is she like?" Kagome found herself very interested in Kouga's family. Kouga found himself a bit more at ease. "Well she is one of the kindest people you could ever know, and her sweet dumplings oh! You have not lived till you have tried my mothers dumplings!" Kouga exclaimed Kagome could not help but giggle. "And what about your dad?" Kagome asked with a smile.
Kagome's smile quickly faded away when she felt Kouga stop walking all together and look into her eyes. He had the expression of both sadness and anger. "He is no longer apart of my life." Kouga spoke in a cold and dry voice Kagome felt very uncomfortable at this moment.
She decided to change the subject fast "Hey! What do you know my kimono is dry!" Kagome spoke taking her hand from Kouga's and placing it over her kimono. Kouga looked at Kagome for a moment then down at his fur's and armor "So is my fur" Kagome smiled to hear Kouga speak. "Well we should probably get back to the mountain before it gets to dark." Kagome spoke hinting towards the setting sun.
Kouga looked over at the sun set it would be dark in a few more minutes. "Kagome I want to show you something" Kouga spoke taking Kagome's hand is his. Before Kagome could get a word out he began pulling her in the direction they came.
The sun was almost set as the cool gentle breeze blew through both Kagome's and Kouga's hair. Kouga sat on the cool grassy hill top with Kagome sitting between his legs.
After they had walked on the beach Kouga had pulled her up a near by hill top to sit and watch the sun set with him. Of course Kagome had thought she was going to be sitting beside him not sitting in his lap. Kouga quickly set her straight though when he took her waist and pulled her down with him. He smiled when he heard the squeal she let out and not to mention the huge blush she wore on her face. Though she eventually gave into him by resting her head on his shoulder which Kouga did not mind one bit.
So there Kagome and Kouga sat enjoying the sun set Kouga's arm wrapped firmly against her waist. To Kouga surprise Kagome had reacted to his touch in a positive way as she rested her hands over his holding them gently.
The sun began becoming dim as it was shrinking in the distance but Kagome was not paying that much attention. She was caught up in thought of her own being here had given her time to spend some quality time with her thoughts, and the thought that was on her mind was Inuyasha.
That dream she had earlier was still bother her why did she dream about Inuyasha of all people. Kagome gave a heavy sigh "Why am I thinking of Inuyasha? I know he is not thinking of me. There is probably just one person on his mind right now...Kikyo" Kagome felt a rush of sadness go through her as she remembered seeing Kikyo of all people in Inuyasha's arms.
Kouga felt Kagome's body tighten as the hint of sadness came across his nose. He looked down at Kagome he assumed she was thinking of her family. "Kagome" Kouga spoke softly. Kagome quickly snapped out of her state of sadness to lean back enough to see what Kouga wanted. "Kagome can I tell you something?" Kagome looked up at Kouga with interest. "Yes?" Kagome asked.
Kouga took a few deep breaths before speaking Kagome looked at him with interest as she saw his eyes kind of soften. ⌠There is a reason my father is no longer part of my life. A very long time ago when I was still a young pup my father told me I was his heir to the southern caves his territory. At first I didn't mind, I was trained and raised to be the perfect warrior. I was taught to be strong brave and to never show any weakness. I dealt with all his punishments and test keep going forward in life because I wanted to be just as great as he was. Then one day he pulled me from bed and told me that I was going to be matted in human terms married." Kouga paused for a moment Kagome's went as big as plates
"Married! When was Kouga ever a husband!" Kagome mentally screamed. "I was willing to do anything I had to, to become a great leader so I agreed. Not long after that my promised day came sooner then I had expected. That day was the first day I saw my soon to be bride when I saw her I froze. She was not even half my age and she was crying. I did not care I was going to be a great leader no matter what. Until my father told me that after are wedding she was to be taken to my bed and bare me a child for the next generation. That was it I could not take it anymore I told my father I refused to be married! He told me if I did not marry that girl I would be exiled from the pack! I did not give my father time to follow through on his threat. I packed what I could then ran from my fathers territory and never looked back. Eventually I made it here I defeated the old leader and I became the knew pack leader."
Kouga looked down at Kagome still in his arms her eyes where as big as plates and her mouth was slightly opened. "You are the first person I have ever told." Kouga finished Kagome was speechless she would have never know. Kouga of all people would ever speak to her like she was a person and not just a peace of action.
Kouga noticed that Kagome's eyes slowly began to glow a certain brighter and she smiled lightly. "Kouga thank you." Kagome spoke gently "For what?" Kouga replied "For talking to me like I was a real person and not just another slave at the auction." Kouga gave a heavy sigh he did not expect Kagome to give a rat's ass about his life and yet she did. "Kagome I want to ask you something." Kouga asked in a low voice where Kagome had to strain to hear it. "Ask me what?" Kouga gave another heavy sigh before replying.
"Kagome...every time that I kiss you I always feel as if I am forcing you to do something you are not ready for. So Kagome I am asking you for real this time...Can I kiss you?" Kagome let out a light gasp out at the question she was about to reply when she looked into Kouga's eyes. His crystal blue orbs burned into her chocolate brown one's setting her soul on fire. She felt control of her body fading as all she could do was give a slight nod. Kouga felt his heart skip a beat was he dreaming or did Kagome just say yes? He was not about to wait around to find out his lips quickly descended on to hers taking in every sweet taste.
He slowly shut his eyes as his hand rose to Kagome's cheek cupping it gently and stroking her soft skin with his thumb. Kagome felt her entire body go numb she had never really taken the time to notice how great of a kisser Kouga was. Gentle yet strong not being to pushy but not letting her dominate him either.
Before she knew it she found herself kissing Kouga back it seemed almost like a dream as she to shut her eyes. A few moments later Kouga pulled back from his gentle yet arousing kiss to speak to Kagome. "Do you want to go back to my room?" Kagome felt her face become very hot almost like she had a fever but her body seemed to have a mind of its own as she agreed.
The journey back to the den felt almost like a dream to Kagome it was over so quickly. Before she knew it she was walking through Kouga's bed chambers entrance. Kagome walked through the entrance about to leave Kouga's side but Kouga would not allow that not now.
As soon they entered the room Kouga took Kagome by the hand and pressed her against his chest holding her tight. He held Kagome's hand in his as he burned into her eyes. He noticed Kagome had a blush across her face she was so innocent she reeked of the sent of virgin Kouga couldn't get enough.
Before Kagome had time to react Kouga claimed her lips. Kagome quickly returned his action kissing him back Kouga was about to lift her up and to his bed. When suddenly something felt so wrong in the pit of his stomach. He thought of Kagome laying underneath him calling his name. That thought seemed so wonderful but then he thought of seeing her the next morning crying and morning for the lose of her family.
After all the only reason he was doing all this was because he wanted to bed her then keep her as his slave. He had no intension of keeping her as his mate. She meant nothing more to him then a nice piece of tail though he would take her night after night since she was his slave and in that same sense his property. But the memories of what he and Kagome had shared today seemed more then a plot to get some action.
Kouga felt a low growl in his throat No! He was not going to feel anything more then lust for the pathetic human. If his conscious had a problem he would deal with it after he bedded his little slave.
Kouga snapped out of his thoughts when he felt Kagome's lips part beneath him with out any hesitation their tongues met. Kagome's body pressed against Kouga's as he pulled her to him tighter. Kouga leaned back on the cave wall as he gripped for the top of Kagome's kimono.
Then moved his hands to find the opening sliding bare skin to bare skin. Kagome gasped a short like little intake of breath when someone is aroused and Kouga groaned softly. Kouga's hands found the small of her back and dipped just low enough to feel the rise of her hips, the impossibly tender skin of her backside. His fingers gazed the cleft, then slipped up her side, over the curve of her waist and higher, up her rib cage until his thumb felt the underside of her breast, firm and round.
Kagome seemed to arch into his palm's throwing her head back so that his lips found her neck. Kouga traced his tongue on the skin just below her ear. Kagome sighed a quiet kitten sound that tickled his eardrum.
Kouga was suddenly aware of where they stood. That they were but a few feet away from his bed. Kouga's body grew hotter at the thought of leading Kagome over to it. Kouga wasted no time as he removed his large armor chest plate letting it fall to the floor.
His demon blood boiling he moved his hand from her silken hair to the top of her kimono as he pushed it open pulling her half naked body against him with both hands around her waist.
Twisting he turned them both so that she was against the wall of the cave. As he pressed his hardness up against her a primal instinct he could not refuse. Kagome's hands rose up to his face as their lips met again and her hips answered with equal force.
"Its not to late to stop, say no!" Kouga heard his conscious say like the good angle on his shoulder.
But there was no stopping Kouga now he was like a train going down the tacks at full speed. His body was on fire his demon blood pulsing through his veins. Every ounce of desire he had was directed at this beautiful woman he held in his arms.
Kouga's eyes were adjusted to the dark his gaze on her flawless body. Framed by her kimono her skin glowed pale in the darkness her breast stood high and firm and her hips curved with grace. Kouga took a few deeps breaths as he felt Kagome's hands find his bare skin. Then followed by her lip's Kouga closed his eyes with sensation "Yes" Kouga thought god though Kagome was a virgin she knew how to work her body.
Kouga felt Kagome's begin to suck gently on his chest aliened with small tender kisses. He could not take it any more he was about to lift Kagome into his arms and take her to his bed when suddenly..
"Ahhhhhhh!" A woman screamed from deep inside the main cave. Kouga quickly pushed himself from Kagome as he threw on his armor and was out the entrance.
Kouga ran until he reached the main cave he saw his men and a few females gathered around something. He quickly pushed himself through the crowd "Out of the way!" he barked, as he reached the center of everyone's attention. There on the cold stone grown of the cave lay Suta Tanashi's mate. He was badly injured as his mate sat beside him tears streaming down her cheeks. Kouga knelt down by his comrade "Suta who did this?" Suta very slowly turned to face his leader he did not speak but raised his hand for Kouga to view. There clutched in his palm was a large gray feather with a black tip Kouga knew all to well how was responsible.
By this time Kagome had gotten dressed and rushed to Kouga's side as she looked down at Suta and Tanashi. Then the memory's came rushing back while she thought who could have hurt him so bad. "The birds of paradise!" Kagome thought.
"The-They attacked us while we were on guard duty. We were heavily out numbered and I was virtually powerless to stop the attack." Suta flinched as he felt a sharp pain go through him as his wounds began to bleed more and more blood. "My love save your strength." Tanashi tried to coo "N-No I need to say this Lord Kouga I beg your forgiveness." Suta gasped as he felt another shot of pain go through him he was becoming light headed he was losing a lot of blood.
Kouga felt a growl inside his throat threaten to escape. "You men take him to the healer now!" Kouga barked at Ginta and Hakkaku. They did as Kouga commanded as they lifted Suta and were off with Tanashi right by his side.
Kouga bawled his hands into a fist he had to strain to keep his demon blood in check. He quickly got to his feet as he shoved his men aside heading back to his room "Out of my way!" Kouga demanded his men quickly stepped aside. "Kouga what are you orders?" One wolf demon called after his leader. Kouga froze in his footsteps. He did not turn to face his men before he spoke. "Prepare for battle men! We are taking those bustards out at day break!" Kouga barked before vanishing into the darkness of the tunnels that lead back to his room.
Kagome watched as Kouga left his men to prepare for war. Kagome quickly followed after Kouga worried about what he might do. She walked through his room entrance and found him pacing by his fire place. She could tell by the look on his face he was furious and at that point in time she found herself a bit on edge around him. "Kouga?" Kagome spoke in a gentle voice.
Kouga paid no mind his slave his demon blood was on fire and he did not know what to do. With in a blink of an eye he let out a frustrated growl as he slammed his fist into the cave wall. In an effort to release some of his anger Kagome gasped as she felt herself jump a bit back in both surprise and fear.
"Kouga you are scaring me." Kagome spoke taking a few steps back. Kouga turned to face Kagome as Kagome took even more steps back at the look in his eye. It was just like Inuyasha's eyes when he was in full demon form. Kouga's normally soft blue orbs were now nothing more the to blue slits.
Kouga noticed her expression and not to mention the sent of fear clung all around her. Kouga took a few deep breaths trying to keep his demon blood in check. "It would be best If you slept somewhere else tonight." Kouga said coldly while he was like this he didn't know what he might do.
Kouga took his hand from the wall as he walked over to his fire place he sat down watching the flames. He placed his hands together as he brought them to his chin supporting his head as he began to ponder his thoughts.
Kagome watched him remain motionless as he watched the flames. She had no idea what he was feeling but she hated seeing him like this but what could she do to comfort him. She took a deep breath before walking over to him.
Kouga froze when he felt someone lay there head on his neck and place there hands on his shoulder. He turned his gaze just enough to see Kagome kneeling behind him resting against him in an effort to comfort him.
"Oh Kouga I know how you must feel" Kagome cooed. Kouga turned his gaze back to the flames in his fire place. He put his hands down as he placed one over Kagome's hand resting on his shoulder. "Kagome" Kouga thought as he felt himself a bit more at ease just by having her there. Having her by his side.
