I have finally come to save you from the cliff! Although, most of you were able to guess where I was going with this. I hope you enjoy!

Also, pardon the shameless plugs, but I recently updated my Young Justice/InuYasha crossover, Forgotten Hero, and my InuYasha/TMNT one-shot collection, Turtle Bites. Check them out, please? For me? ｡･ﾟﾟ･(д)･ﾟﾟ･｡

Drabble 39: Jonquil because I Desire You and Your Affection

Part One

He was five when he first met Koga. His mother and father called him a distant relative, but he was perceptive enough to realize there was something about this stranger they were hiding.

Still, he made himself scarce when Koga began discussing business with his parents. He was perceptive enough to know when he wasn't wanted to.

Koga found him hours later, the smile on his face echoed in those fathomless blue eyes. Without provocation, he told him stories, fantastic tales of beast in human form and coveted objects of power. Of wolves who spoke and walked upright like men.

Part Two

Every time he came, Koga continued telling him of the ancient world of lore and magic he began to envision in his dreams. He told him of a wolf who ran like the wind, cats who flew on flames, and dogs who battled with swords forged from the fangs of monsters. He noted, amused, the Koga didn't like dogs.

Then a girl entered the tales, an ordinary girl the wolf quickly realized wasn't ordinary at all. Koga spoke of her in quiet tones of reverence and affection. Not of the first time, did he wonder if the stories were true.

Part Three

When Koga told him the girl disappeared, he lost all interest in his stories. The wolf moved on, honoring her treasured memory and loving with the love she helped him discover, but he could not. The ordinary girl who wasn't so ordinary shone like a brilliant star in his heart, an unattainable splendor teasing him with her ethereal light.

When he began middle school, he learned he and Koga shared the blood of wolves who walked upright like men. His perception was due to highly attuned senses and his intuition to instinct inherited from the ancestor in front of him.

Part Four

"Otori?" Kagome cried, "Why are you here?"

Her senior chuckled as he pushed his glasses on his nose.

"So it's Higurashi? The girl who fell through time and guardian of the sacred Shikon Jewel."

"And what do you know about that?" Kagome countered, masking her shock with a huff.

Koga cleared his throat for her attention and stated, "All of my descendants know the story of my woman."

Kagome blinked. "Your descendants?"

"I must say I'm not impressed," Kyoya interrupted inciting both Kagome's and Koga's ire. Kagome clenched her fists stomping up to the smug boy.

Then history repeated itself.

Part Five

Kyoya blinked as Kagome stalked away slowly reaching up to touch his swollen cheek.

Koga guffawed, his anger dispersed. "I knew you'd get yours one day, kid!"

Kyoya composed himself and turned away from the wolf's mirth.

"I hardly see what's so amusing. Higurashi's more trouble than she's worth."

Koga sobered, reigning in his laughter before speaking again.

"So is this as far as you'll go, Kyoya?"

His descendant didn't answer, but Koga already knew. He and Kyoya were more alike than the boy admitted. His boyhood desires never waned but grew to a stronger longing like bright yellow flowers.

-O0o0O-

punkish furball – So it was Kyoya! It wasn't a coincidence he was never too far from Kagome. Until next time, TCB! \( 'з')/
