AN: As much as I appreciate all the reviews… For those of you who added a vote for pairings in the last chapter, I'll only say this one last time. THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN DECIDED BUT ISN'T PERMANENT. Quit with the voting now. And I'm not redoing it because hardly any people will vote if the pairing is posted on my Profile.
For those of you, who will still vote, STOP. READ THE AUTHOR NOTES. You'll be surprised how informed you can be when read those.
And like I said in the last chapter. There is a chance that I will make a Goliath/Kagome pairing with an entirely different plot and maybe Kagome's gargoyle form. OR THIS story will turn out to be a Threesome between Kagome, Brooklyn, and Goliath. But that only depends on how the story turns out.
Now as a reply to who calls their self "WHY DIDN'T NO1 TELL ME??"… And I don't mean to sound like a bitch, I'm just stating the truth.
One - Nothing is really fair in what we call life.
Two - I can't put up a news bulletin saying that I posted a Gargoyles/Inuyasha Crossover. People have to look around to find what they want to read. And I don't know many FanFiction fans like myself.
Three – I KNOW Brooklyn has a beak. Well, so does Griff, the English Gargoyle Goliath met sometime after he left Avalon, and he's with a female gargoyle who has the head of a white horse or unicorn. And I can work on the kissing "problem" when it comes to that.
And lastly, I won't redo the polls because, to be honest, I put them up to see what fans who read the story would like- to see if they liked any of the pairings I had in mind for my most favorite characters. So in a sense, the pairing for Kagome is not permanently final. For me, it depends on how the story progress with the ideas readers supply to me and I try to make the ideas work if I like them.
My friend, DeathNoteMaker suggested the threesome and I admit, I'm considering it since I like both Goliath and Brooklyn but that depends on how the story turns out.
I hope that doesn't sound confusing. It's usually hard for me to type what I have to say.
Anyways, I'd still like to thank everyone who reviewed. They've been a great help and encouragement to continue this story. Especially for it being the first and probably the only one of its kind.
Hope you guys enjoy this next chapter.
Chapter Five
"Ahh, screw me." Kagome muttered, her face in her hands before she heard footfalls stop not too far. Then before she could curse again, she felt the wind pick up as she felt herself being lifted into a pair of strong and familiar arms. The male who was holding her was twirling her around in circles before he stopped and asked a question that she as well as many in her family had marked as his trademark, "How's my woman now that she's awake? Will she finally become my mate?"
Goliath and the other didn't know what happened. One second, Kagome was standing in front of Xanatos, talking to him when they heard someone yell out Kagome's name. And in the next, a strong wind came in and Kagome wasn't there anymore.
After the wind died down suddenly, they heard some give a hearty laugh before saying something in Japanese.
They all turned to where they heard the voice and were met with someone with long black hair held in a high ponytail and pale blue eyes. The clothes he wore were of a pair of dark blue jeans, a black muscle shirt, a chestnut brown trench that was shorter than Shippó's.
They all didn't know who he was but with how Sesshoumaru was growling in a possessive way, they figured the silver-haired demon knew him… and not in a very good way.
Goliath then heard Elisa coming, yelling out, "Damn it, Okamiko. Why did you run off like that?"
And after she had said that, everyone heard a loud smack followed by a yelp of pain.
It seemed Kagome and punched Kouga in the face for that "my woman" remark, which also had set off Sesshoumaru into growling in a possessive manner.
Kouga was currently lying on the ground, rubbing his cheek before wiping off the trickle of blood that came from the corner of his mouth. It looked like Kagome had hit him too hard… but Sesshoumaru felt proud of that.
By this time, Elisa arrived in time to hear a new female voice almost yell at her new partner, "Damn it, Kouga. I'm awake for no more than less than a half hour and you're already trying to put claim on me as your mate? That's really low, even for you when Inuyasha's death is still fresh in my memory."
Elisa was surprised to see a white female gargoyle standing over her new partner with a look of disappointment on her face. She began to wonder if this was what Fox had called the "shrine gargoyle."
'But how does she seem to know Kouga?' Elisa thought.
Kagome couldn't help but be disappointed by Kouga. She knew that he knew how much she loved Inuyasha and knew that his death was going to be fresh in her memory. Yet he still thought that she would simply forget about the first man she ever loved just to be his mate with the fact that she never did love the wolf demon in that way?
'That's completely against me…' She thought.
When it looked like Kouga was about to say something, Sesshoumaru stopped him by growling, "Hold your tongue wolf. After all of her protests of you wanting her to be your mate, you still persist. Even when I, as well as Souta, Shippó, and even Kagome's mother and grandfather do not approve of you being suitable for Kagome's mate. You keep pursuing her, even though you know she's going to turn you down again."
"Yeah, Kouga. I appreciate you caring about my sister and everything but enough is enough. Just give it up. Especially right now. Inuyasha's death may have been only five hundred years ago, but to Kagome it still seems like yesterday. The pain is too fresh." Souta spoke before adding, almost pleadingly, "Please, just let my sister be. If you truly care about her, you'll leave her be."
"Yes, I do care. I put off and turned down every willing female just to be with her. I had planned on making her my only mate, my alpha female of my pack…"
Kagome then cut him off by saying, "I'm sorry Kouga… as touched as I am to hear that… understand that the memory of Inuyasha dying in my arms is still fresh in my mind, despite that I know how long it's been since his death. Also understand that your advances toward me weigh on my patience." She stopped for a moment; feeling like what she was saying wasn't getting through to him.
She then remembered something that was common for demons in her position, of a male who won't leave the female in peace. Knowing that it was probably the only way to make Kouga stop from pursuing her, Kagome said, "I'll make you a bargain, Kouga… a match between you and me, no outside help; just the two of us, using nothing but our combat skills. If I win, you will drop all claims on me of being your mate-to-be."
"And if I win?" Kouga asked, confident that he'd win this little battle, especially with the prize he was sure that he'd get if he won.
Kagome's brow twitched unnoticeably before answering, "You know damn well what you get if you win." This made a grin stretch upon Kouga's face.
Short chapter, I know. But this was all I could write and I'm low on ideas on how Kagome and Kouga should fight.
I'd appreciate the help and your reviews. I'm not taking any more votes and the pairing with Kagome is not PERMENANTLY final. It may change, depending on the story's progress.
The more Ideas and suggestions I'm supplied with, the faster I'll get the next chapter posted, probably. Flamers aren't welcome.
Until next time on "Awakening with Sorrow"
