Love Lost, and Love Found
Chapter 6: Blossoming Love
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or any related characters; however unrelated characters such as Kalia, Zeke, and Kanjo are my creations.
Hello, here is my new update. Please enjoy.
It had been two weeks since InuYasha first came to the caves. He had healed quite quickly, and once she felt he was completely better, Kanjo put him to work.
He and Kouga now patrolled the eastern lands, killing any Birds of Paradise that they came upon. During their patrols they also got to know each other better. InuYasha told Kouga about his life before Kagome and Kikyo, and Kouga told InuYasha about life in the wolf tribe. A close bond between the two quickly spawned.
However this bond would only grow stronger after an attack by rogue bear demons.
Flashback:
It had been ten days since InuYasha came to the caves, seven days since he had healed. InuYasha and Kouga were doing a routine check through the forest. Halfway through their inspection they came upon a human caravan that had been attacked by a young pack of bears.
(AN: What do you call a group of bears anyways)
Just a few minutes after entering the clearing where the human corpses and young bear cubs were, InuYasha and Kouga were attacked by a large group of adult bear demons.
"How dare you insolent wolves attack our young?" Boomed one great lack bear who bore light brown stripes across his shoulders that kind of resembled claw marks.
"They are not both wolves, my leader, the one in red is actually only a common Inu; however the other is none other than Kouga, young wolf prince of the east." Informed a smaller black bear.
"Excellent, well prince Kouga, today we shall make our message loud and clear to the eastern wolves, about what happens when you mess with the bear tribes clubs." Boomed the leader as he drew a giant mace (spiky bal), and an axe from his back.
"Oi! We were not attacking your cubs! But if it's a fight you want, then it's a fight your gonna get." Growled InuYasha as he drew Tetsaiga from its sheathe. Beside him Kouga cracked his knuckles and added, "From it's sheathe. Beside him Kouga cracked his knuckles and added, "You got that right."
With a fierce war cry the lead bear lifted his mace and charged. InuYasha rushed straight for him as Kouga attacked the smaller bears.
InuYasha attacked furiously, pushing the great bear back with each slash, "Stupid mutt am I? Well this dumb dog is about to show you not to judge a demon by his species." InuYasha shouted as he called upon his wind scar and obliterated the bear on the spot.
After catching his breath he turned his head to see how Kouga was faring.
Meanwhile Kouga was being completely overwhelmed by the smaller bears. What he had in speed and agility, they had in strength and numbers. Within minutes of attacking them, Kouga had a broken leg and was quickly swarmed by the merciless demons.
By the time InuYasha turned around to help Kouga, his golden eyes fell upon the unmoving bloodied body of Kouga. He then drifted his attention to the other small bears who were approaching him with a predatory glint in their eyes.
InuYasha's eyes turned red, while he held Tetsaiga; however this time he was in complete control of himself. With a menacing growl InuYasha held Tetsaiga before him and shouted "Kongosoha Bakuryuha!"(adamant barrage backlash wave). The bears froze in terror as thousands of tiny diamond shards traveled within the backlash wave. Completely shredding everything in its path until the clearing contained nothing but InuYasha, Kouga, and shredded pieces of bear demons.
(A.N- Yummmm)
Once the demon were gone InuYasha's eyes returned to normal and he ran over to Kouga's side.
"Please Kouga, don't be dead. I can't bear to lose you too. I have already lost everyone else who has ever meant anything to me. I can't lose you know that I realize just how much you mean to me." InuYasha said frantically as he knelt down next to Kouga and lifted his head towards his chest.
"And just how much do I mean to you InuYasha?" Kouga asked with a groan as he opened his eyes.
"Well uhmm … I uhhh… You know… We should get back to the caves before Kanjo gets worried." InuYasha stuttered as he pulled away quickly in a failed attempt to change the subject.
Kouga then made a decision that would either make or break his future with the hanyou before him. With a great effort he leaned forward and grasped InuYasha by the shoulders, he then pulled the startled hanyou into a kiss.
InuYasha drew in a shocked breath as Kouga's met his. The kiss was so soft, so sweet, and to InuYasha it seemed so… right.
The kiss lasted but a second in eternity, but to InuYasha it was much longer. For once he felt as if everything in his life would work out for the better.
"InuYasha, I am sorry if I was out of line. But over the last week and a half I have found myself falling in love with you… I don't know what it is about you, but I just find myself constantly thinking about you." Kouga said as he blushed and looked at the ground in embarrassment.
"I know how you feel. I find myself feeling feelings for you that I have never felt before." InuYasha explained as he gazed deeply into Kouga's eyes.
"We'd better head back to the caves InuYasha, Kalia, and Mom are going to worry. And I don't know about you but I would rather avoid their wrath." Kouga said as he attempted to get up only to stop midway as thousands of specks of light burst before his eyes from the pain in his broken leg.
"Oh no you mangy wolf, you will not be walking back home. The only way you're getting home is if I carry you." InuYasha said with a teasing voice, he then bent over and picked up Kouga bridal style and began the walk back to the caves.
Kouga let out a contented sigh as he snuggled into InuYasha's chest, slowly falling into a deep peaceful sleep.
Yay! They finally announced their feelings for each other! There might not be another update till Sunday, cause my anniversary is on Saturday and I am spending it with my true love, LOVE YOU SYKA! Stay tuned for Chapter 7: Imprisoned.
Please remember to read and review.
