Chapter 4. Homecoming
Inu Yasha was starting to get a little annoyed. Kagome hadn't come back from her era in almost a week.
"Thats it! I'm sick of waiting for her!" he grumbled and stalked off towards the well.
"I guess that mean's he's going get her," Shippou stated.
"The man has no patience," Miroku added cooly.
"He's stubborn if you ask me," Sango looked a little annoyed herself.
.'.'.'.'.'.
Kagome awoke the next morning, yawned and streched her arms above her head.
"Good morning," Kouga said while propping himself up on his elbow so that he could see her better.
"Good morning, Kouga," Kagome nuzzled into his chest. "How did you sleep?"
"Perfect," ha answered with a smile. "After all, I did get to sleep beside my mate last night."
Kagome giggled. "Well, you do know that I have to go home today. My mom will will start to worry if I don't."
Kouga frowned. He knew she was right though. She had told him of the well, her family and her time the night before.
"Don't look so sad, Kouga," Kagome kissed him softly. "I told you I'll be back before, or shortly after sunset. After I tell my family what has been going on, I promise you'll be able to start coming with me."
"I know," Kouga wrapped an arm around her side. "I'm just worried about you, thats all. What if something happens and I'm not there to protect you?"
"I'll be fine," Kagome reassured him. "My family will be there to protect me."
Kouga sighed. He still didn't like her going off by herself like this, but she was a hard one to convince otherwise. "Alright then, lets get you going. The sooner you get home, the sooner you'll come back to me."
After getting dressed and gathering her things, Kouga scooped her up in his arms and ran off towards the well in a tornado or dust.
Once there he placed her down and kissed her gently on the lips. Wrapping his arms tightly around her. "I'll be right here when you get back. I love you Kagome."
Kagome returned his embrace. "I love you too Kouga, but I have to go now."
They said their quick goodbyes, and Kagome lept down the well.
"I wonder where muttface is. Haven't heard a peep out of him in days," Kouga sniffed the air. He had become slightly curious as to why they weren't greeted by a smelly dog when they arrived at the well. "Oh well," Kouga shrugged and lept up to wait in a nearby tree.
.'.'.'.'.'.
Kagome jumped out of the well humming, a slight grin on her face. She walked across the courtyard and into her home.
"Hi mom! Hi Grandpa!" She hugged them both and headed towards her bedroom. At the top of the stairs, she turned towards Souta's room and hollered, "Hey brat!"
Souta's head popped out of his bedroom, "Hey sis! How's Inu Yasha?"
"Fine... I'm sure," she said that last part a bit under her breath as she opened her bedroom door.
She threw her bag on the floor and shut the door. As she turned around she yelped. Inu Yasha was laying on her bed. "W-what are you doing here?" she stammered.
"I was coming to get you, but apparently you havent been here," Inu Yasha responded, getting up from her bed.
"Look, Inu Yasha, I can explain," She started.
"Explain what? Where have you been?" Inu Yasha smelled something different in the room. He looked at her sideways and sniffed the air again. "And why do you smell like that mangy wolf?!"
Kagome shook her head, 'he really is clueless,' she thought to herself. "First of all, his name is Kouga," she said sternly. "And second of all, I wasnt here because I have been with him the last few days."
"WHAT?!" Inu Yasha was furious. "Why would you want to be with that stupid wolf?!"
Now it was Kagome's turn to look at Inu Yasha sideways. "Same reason you always run off with Kikyou I suppose."
"Dont bring her into this, she has nothing to do with it," Inu Yasha said flatly.
"Oh she doesn't, does she?" Kagome said, raising her voice a notch.
"No she doesnt!" in turn, Inu Yasha raised his voice too. "You know why I see Kikyou! I made her a promise, and I have no intentions on breaking that promise!"
Kagome had smoke coming out of her ears, "Exactly! You love her! I'm just your shard detector!"
"What are you talking about?!" Inu Yasha was slightly confused now.
"What I'm talking about is that you dont love me. Kouga does. THAT is why I've been with him the last few days, Inu Yasha," Kagome tried to say as calmly as possible.
"W-what?" Inu Yasha said half under his breath.
Kagome sighed. "We're mated, Inu Yasha. Kouga and I are mated," She moved her shirt away from her neck so that he could see the mark Kouga had given her.
Inu Yasha looked almost sad. "Why would you do that though? Aren't you supposed to be mine?"
Kagome sighed, 'clueless,' he was starting to frustrate her. "Inu Yasha, look, You made a promise to Kikyou that you dont intend to ever break. You cannot keep your promise to her, and expect me to stay around too. Don't I deserve to be happy too?"
"Well, yea," Inu Yasha answered reluctantly.
"Well, Kouga makes me happy. He wants to be with me, and only me," Kagome sat down on her bed."You're my friend, Inu Yasha. I'll always love you, but my heart now belongs to Kouga. And I really hope that you two can learn to put your differences aside. I dont want to lose you just because I'm mated now."
Inu Yasha sat back down next to Kagome, "I dont want to lose you either, Kagome." He wrapped his arm around Kagome's shoulder and she leaned her head onto his shoulder.
They stayed that way, in silence, for a few more minutes. Kagome then had to get up and talk to her parents. Her mom was a little shocked, but supportive as usual. She insisted Kagome bring Kouga home next time she came. Souta was excited at the thought of having another demon for a big brother, and Grandpa started rambling about demons taking over his family.
After dinner that night, Kagome decided to take a relaxing bath. "Been a long day," she sighed. "At least things seem to be going well. Guess I should hurry up and get back. It's almost dark and I told Kouga I'd be back by then."
I am not sure how much more I will be writing of this story. I started it almost a year ago, and have since lost some interest in it. So, please, if you'd like for me to write more let me know. It would really help me in making my decision on wether or not I will continue on with this particular story.
