Battle of the Youkai Chapter 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Kagome just stood there, breathless, thinking of the amazing kiss she just received. 'Oh my!

 

Kouga…. Does he really love me as much as he says?' Her thoughts were interrupted by someone yelling

 

her name.

 

"Kagome!" Sango yelled. "Where are you? It's time to go to sleep!"

 

For a moment longer, Kagome just stared in the direction that Kouga left, before yelling, "Sango!

 

I'll be right there! I'm coming!" Taking one last glance, Kagome ran back to the campsite.

 

Suddenly exhausted, she slowly climbed into her sleeping bag, Shippo curled next to her stomach.

 

Meanwhile, Sango and Miroku were having a private discussion. "Where is he? He disappeared at

 

the same time as Kagome." Sango was worried about their half-demon friend.

 

Miroku shrugged, eager to talk about a different topic. "So, Sango. I didn't quite hear you earlier.

 

What did you say as Kouga talked to Kagome?"

 

Sango blushed at the memory. "Well… um… I… you see…."

 

Miroku smiled slightly, watching Sango wriggle and twist her hands in an effort to come up with

 

something. "Well, I…"

 

"It's getting late. Maybe we should discuss this in the morning?" He leaned back against a tree and

 

slept instantly.

 

Sango sighed deeply. 'That was close. I must think of an excuse, if not… Sango shivered slightly,

 

he might get the wrong idea.'

 

 

Meanwhile…

 

 

Inuyasha silently cursed himself. 'Damn! He almost got her! I can't let him take her from me,

 

yet… who will she believe? Me, or that bastard? All he's done is be nice to her and proclaim his love for

 

her. And me? All I've done is call her wench and bitch, and insult her while giving all my attention to

 

Kikyo.' He slammed his fist into the tree, still in the same spot as when he listened to their discussion.

 

'Damn! She's falling for him! I could smell it! He'll win the contest at this rate! I gotta get her back!'

 

He jumped down, swiftly and quietly returning to the campsite. 'I gotta do something for her, but

 

what?' Suddenly he smirked, an idea coming to him. 'Yep! That will do it!'

 

 

The next day…

 

 

"Ahh!" Kagome squeaked, jumping up from bed.

 

"Kagome! What's wrong?!" Shippo shrieked, scared Kagome was in trouble.

 

"N-n-nothing. It's just-" She looked down on her pillow, surprised at what she saw there. A

 

bouquet of flowers (not daisies), a box of chocolate (hehehe), and a card were scattered on her pillow. "Oh,

 

my!"

 

She picked up the note and read it. "I am sorry for being such a jerk to you this whole time. I just

 

want you to know that you're mine and I won't let anything happen to you. I'll be by your side forever."

 

Inuyasha blushed and smiled, relieved that they thought him still asleep. 'I wonder what she'll say,'

 

he thought.

 

Kagome had thousands of thoughts running through her head. 'It can't be,' she thought, 'can it?'

 

"Kouga?"

 

Inuyasha fell out of the tree with a giant sweatdrop on his head. "What the hell?! How could you

 

think that bastard could give you something like that?!"

 

Kagome flung her head in his direction, jaw dropped, eyes wide. "What do you mean, Inuyasha? If

 

Kouga didn't give this to me, then who?"

 

'God, is she dense!' He thought. "Who do you think?! Is Kouga really the only one you think of?"

 

Kagome was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Hmmm. Well…the only guys I know that

 

like me are Kouga and Hojo."

 

Inuyasha growled at both names. "What am I, then?"

 

Kagome thought again then responded, "I really don't know, Inuyasha."

 

"KAGOME!" four people yelled at once. Shippo, though, was the first one to explain. "Kagome, I

 

saw Inuyasha put all those things there. I remember him sitting there, staring at you, breathing in your-"

 

At this time, Inuyasha was pounding Shippo into pulp. Kagome blushed a deep, deep scarlet.

 

Sango gasped, Inuyasha blushed too, Miroku grinned, and, because he was beaten, Shippo was frowning.

 

"Inuyasha! It was you!" Kagome exclaimed, astonished.

 

Miroku nudged Inuyasha in the ribs with his elbow. "Inuyasha, you sly dog! What else did you do

 

while Lady Kagome was sleeping?"

 

At this, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sango blushed and the women giggled.

 

Kagome was the first one to recover. "Inuyasha…"

 

"Keh. It was nothin'." He turned away, trying to hide his blush.

 

"I'm touched. Thank you very much, Inuyasha." Kagome smiled at him and picked up her gifts

 

and clothes and walked to a nearby spring.

 

Inuyasha, who couldn't believe his luck, thought 'score!'

 

'Oh, Inuyasha! Did you really mean what you wrote?'
