Chapter 6
"Kagome…?" Koga asked as they made their way back to the village.
"What?"
"What was that power you used on Naraku?"
Kagome looked at her hands, confused. "Honestly, I don't know. The last time I experienced that was when I first traveled here. I was attacked by a demon, and I put my hand its face and the same thing happened."
"Well, we will definitely have to take some more look into that."
Kagome smiled, and Koga leaned down and gave Kagome another kiss. While walking to the village they were soon stopped by Ayame. What does she want now?! Koga thought.
"What are you doing with her?" Ayame huffed at the human attached to Koga's side.
"She's going to be my bride." Koga said.
"Impossible. She is but a mere human. What could she possibly do for you?"
"That's none of your concern, Ayame." Koga said, trying to walk past her.
"You're the Prince of the Eastern Tribe, and I'm Princess of the Western Tribe. It is only right if you marry another wolf demon. A human girl, like her, will slow you down. She is useless and meaningless, and besides wasn't she traveling with that half-demon? What's she doing here? And, if you haven't forgotten Koga…you already promised me that you'd marry me." Ayame argued.
Koga froze in his spot; never before has he proposed to anyone else besides Kagome. Kagome looked at Koga, then at Ayame, and back at Koga. Hearing those words deeply hurt Kagome, she knew Koga loved her; but the fact that he had already promised someone to marry, Kagome didn't know what else to do.
Kagome unwrapped herself from Koga and walked back to the woods, they just came from.
"Kagome!" Koga shouted after her.
Kagome ignored him and kept walking, her head down. Koga turned back towards and Ayame and growled.
"I told you before Ayame, I love Kagome!" Koga growled, "She is the woman for me. You can go tell your grandfather that our tribes will never become one."
"But, Koga…" Ayame whimpered, holding onto his arm.
Koga instantly pulled his arm free, "Leave me alone!" He shouted, and soon chased after Kagome.
Ayame stood there, trying to keep herself strong, but as she saw Koga vanish into the woods, she immediately started crying.
~~~~Somewhere in the woods~~~
Stupid Koga! Why would you propose to me, when you already promised someone else?! It isn't fair! Kagome thought to herself, slamming her hands into the ground.
"Kagome! Where are you?" Koga shouted.
Kagome stayed where she hid, she chose to hide in a cave she found while walking. She didn't want to see Koga now, she was too mad. Her eyes were puffy and red from all the crying she did. She placed her hand over her mouth and breathed through her nose. She wasn't ready to face Koga just yet.
"Kagome, come on…" Koga said walking near the cave, "I'm sorry."
Kagome dug herself further into the back of the cave, when she saw him. She kept her hand over her mouth and tried to keep quiet. Koga walked closer to the cave, and Kagome sat there motionless; fighting back tears and trying to keep quiet.
"Kagome, you know I know you're in there." Koga said, standing in front of the cave.
Kagome remained in her spot, and Koga walked into the cave cornering her in.
"Come on, Kagome. You know how I feel about you…" Koga said.
Kagome remained her spot and hugged her knees to her chest. She knew Koga was right, but she still felt hurt. The things that Ayame said were true. She was just a human and nothing more; sure she could track the jewel shards, but what else? Maybe Kagome really was useless.
"Kagome, don't let her words get to you. I love you regardless of what you are." Koga said, sitting next to Kagome and wrapped his arms around her. "You more than just a human to me, you're the love of my life Kagome and I wouldn't want it any other way."
"But she's right about me…I'll just slow you down…" Kagome whimpered.
Koga placed his fingers under her chin and made her look at him, without saying another word; Koga sealed his lips onto Kagome's.
