Hello folks! Another chapter is finally up! First, an answer:
hinatauchiha82: Nah, I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking about adding a loooot of guys into it so that Kagome have many yummy boys to choose from wO
Everyone who has commented so far: thank you so much for your support (L)
I do hereby disclaim any rights to the InuYasha characters (except the Otoko serpent). InuYasha belongs to Rumiko Takahachi.
Kagome were just taking a sip from the soup Kaede had made for her when she suddenly felt the presence of the Shikon Jewel approaching. And fast.
"Oh Kami, not now" she grunted, just as a gust of wind swept into the hut and she found herself cuddled into the chest of a youkai, the soup spreading a wet bloom on the wooden floor.
"My dearest Kagome! Are you hurt?" Kouga huffed, taking deep breaths of her scent. "I could smell your precious blood miles away and hurried to save you. Where's the dog shit? I bet this is his entire fault for getting you hurt."
"Umm, hello to you too Kouga" Kagome muttered, trying to catch her breath in his furry armor. "Would you mind letting me go?"
Kouga let go of her before shooting her a cocky grin, flashing his fang at her. "Actually I do mind. I wouldn't complain if you were in my lap more often."
His smile faded and his icily blue eyes traveled across her face, while he at the same time sniffed the air.
"Are ya alright? You smell of blood and…" *sniff, sniff* "is that a serpent's disgusting stench?"
She smiled weakly and shook her head. "Yeah, I had a little encounter with an angry demon outside of here, but thankfully InuYasha saved me. "
'I think', she added in her thoughts, her eyes trailing everywhere but at the wolf.
Kouga didn't notice though, how her eyes were avoiding his. "Eh, so the mutt face actually dared to let you get hurt? I should find him right now and show him exactly where he can put that sword."
Kagome sighed and started get to her feet so she could clean up the dust from Kougas whirlwind and soup, but before she could do anything a firm hand gently pushed her down.
"Don't you think you should lie down? Those wounds could reopen ya know?"
Confused she stared blankly into the wolf's eyes. "How do you know I'm hurt?"
"Man, Kagome. You're starting to sound almost as stupid as that InuTrasha" Kouga said while rolling his eyes at today's youngsters. "I have a nose, ya know? I can scent blood, I can smell demons and I can" *sniff* *sniff* "smell that you're wounded on your leg."
"You know? That sure is kind of… perverted in some ways," Kagome said while peeking at him from under her covers.
A blush crept onto the young chief's cheeks as he thought of 'some ways' he were what she said. But he quickly hid with a cunning grin and a wink.
"Sure I am, my dear. All for you."
Meanwhile Sango and Kirara were scanning the ground from above. All they saw were trees, trees, the Well, trees, clearing and trees. Nothing special up there and no sign of the sought prey.
But the beautiful view did little to affect Sango who were completely fuming with anger. How dared InuYasha make Kagome cry like that! And not only that, it was his fault that the girl got hurt in the first place!
"Oh, when I find him I will be sure to make a new necklace out of his guts," she grunted, getting an approving growl from the now big Kirara.
The two tailed cat may not seem like a threat in her kitten-form, but as a full-fledged demon it was natural that her real form were a different matter.
Scanning the area for any signs of red Sango shouted, "Do you see anything?"
It took a minute and two, the echo repeating her call, before the monk yelled back, "Nothing down here at all."
"Damn it" she muttered, willing Kirara to go fly a little higher up. It was then, up there over the tree tops she saw the huge shadow dancing over the earth in the far distance as it advanced on them. Cautiously Sango drove Kirara toward the mass so that they could get a closer look at it.
It was moving alright, so it couldn't be some sort of cloud before sun, and it could definitely not be a forest flinching under the wind's breath since it wasn't blowing at all.
Sango narrowed her eyes. It was something about the way it moved that made her inside squirm with fright, and an old shiver finding its way down her back. But why, if it wasn't…?
"Miroku, where are you?"
"Right here, lady Sango," the monk answered from behind her, causing her to flinch. Somehow he had jumped up onto Kirara's back without the demon slayer noticing.
"What's the rush? Do we have a very annoyed half demon after us?" Smirking he glanced over his shoulder, slightly expecting it to be exactly that.
"No. It's worse. A giant mass is approaching us, and from what I can tell it isn't very friendly."
"How come?" he questioned.
Sango shoot him a glare, which wasn't very threatening when they were filled with concern and terror. "Shut up, monk. I just know it."
The monk did as she required, but soon he couldn't stand the silence anymore. "Exactly how do you know, if you please excuse me for asking?"
"Because," she said sternly and gripped Kirara's fur harder," it is a huge mass of snake demons."
"Kouga!" she laughed and hit him on his upper arm.
"What? That's how we do it at home." He said grumpily, his head in level with his shoulder.
Kagome grinned at the sight. 'So cute! He looks just like a…'
"Puppy!" she exclaimed and suddenly ruffled his hair as if he were her own kid brother. This only made her laugh harder when she saw the dirty look he shot her.
When Kouga had come into the hut they had talked a bit; on her part she wanted to know about his pack and on his journey for Naraku, he were busy explaining why this whole stuff were mutt-face's fault and that Kagome should hook up with someone who really cared about her.
Then Kouga had noticed the outspilled soup and had immediately said he would clean it up. When he attempted to lick the flour Kagome had crumpled on the floor as she tried to strangle her giggles.
"Oi, don't you dare put me in the same box as that InuThrasha." Kouga muttered sourly, tidying his bangs. His voice startled her back to reality and she glanced at his face quickly as he said InuYasha's "nickname". Did he notice how she flinched? "If you do," he continued, his voice becoming darker and more dangerous, "I will have to teach ya a lesson."
Without a warning he threw himself at her and started to tickle her. Kagome let out a little yelp at the surprise attack, but as his fingers started crawling up and down her stomach she suddenly made a 'pfft' sound before exploiding with laughter.
"No… kouga-ha-ha-ha! Stop it! STOP IT!" she screamed.
"Do you submit?" he growled, his eyes shining with amusement.
"NEVER!" she laughed as she wriggled under him.
"Submit!" he hissed and loomed over her to get better access to her more tickly parts. "Or I will make you scream from you tiny stomach aches for days."
"Um…"
The two of them froze and stared at the unexpected voice. There, in the doorway* stood InuYasha.
"Am I interrupting something here, wolfie?" he asked with a steaming fury in his golden eyes.
Yay! Oh my God, I wrote the last thing on this chapter in like... half an hour! I'm so happy~
Either way, snakes. Yeah. I hate them. Sure, they are very elegant when they slide around on the tv-screen. In real life? More scary than elegant. And around here it isn't very common to see snakes everyday, so when I do, I freak out. Just so you know.
Thanks for review last time, and please do review on this one too! ^^
