Chapter five

Kagome watched as Kouga walked over to Goshinboku. Completely confused over the feelings she was sensing coming from the Wolf Prince. The main ones being disbelief, and fear. Fear being the most noticeable, and which became stronger the closer he got to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. Though he tried is best to keep it covered.

Watching as the three talked, she realized that Kouga's fears where will founded. She noticed that he came close to being killed by the demons she loved with all her heart. When Kouga once again submitted to them, for she now knew that was what he was doing, she watched at the killing rage taper off as he talked fast.

Since she knew what to look for, she saw the range of emotions that passed across the faces of the brothers. She wondered what Kouga was telling them, when she saw the looks of joy that crossed their faces, clear for anyone to see.

Sighing she put her mind to her own problem. How was she going to chose between the two. Knowing that which ever she choose, it would hurt one of them, and would tear her own heart apart. She was so deep in thought that it wasn't until Kouga spoke that she noticed that he had returned.

“Kagome, are you alright?”

Looking up Kagome said, “Yes, no, I don't know.”

“If you want to talk about it, I'm here to listen.”

Without a second thought Kagome buried her head in Kouga's shoulder, letting all of her confusion come out in the form of tears.

“Shh little one. Let it out. I'm here for you.” Kouga soothed stroking her hair. Glancing up as he felt the brothers approach, he shook his head to let them know not to worry. That he would take care of her, and find out what the trouble was. Nodding their heads they turned back to settle once more on and around Goshinboku. Kouga then turned all his attention to the girl who lay crying in his arms.

Broken heartedly, Kagome let out her biggest fear. “I don't want to choose between them. They'll start fighting again, and it would tear me in two.”

Kouga chuckled, and Kagome's head snapped up to glare at him. “I don't see what's so funny.” she said to him.

“No, you don't. But knowing more about this then you do, I find it very funny.”

“What do you mean?”

“Kagome, choosing between the two is no longer an option.”

“Kouga, please, I don't understand any of this. Just tell me what's going on.”

Sighing when he so how much confusion was laying in her eyes, he decided to start with what he believed happened the day Sesshoumaru saved her life. And what probably happened between the brothers while she slept.

“You'll have to ask Sesshoumaru if this is true, but I think i know what happened when he saved your life.”

Nodding her head, Kagome tried to make herself more comfortable amongst the roots of the tree they where sitting under. Realizing that she would need to get a cushion or something in order to achieve any amount of comfort, she started to ask Kouga if they could go back to the village for a few minutes. She was stopped even before she begin, when one of 'her' wolves arrived at her side carrying Sesshoumaru's Mokomoko-Sama. Wrapping the fur around her, and using one end as a pillow, she nestled into it's warmth. She gave Sesshoumaru, a grateful smile, and then gave Kouga her full attention.

Kouga smiled at Kagome, who sighed with contentment as she breathed in the scent of the demon lord. “I believe that the tea that he gave you, was meant to almost kill you.” he started, but froze when she stood up in anger.

“He gave me something that would kill me.” She yelled.

Sesshoumaru head snapped up when he heard the question that Kagome asked the wolf. When he saw that she was about to come towards him, he shrank back. Sighing in relief as Kouga grabbed hold, and pinned her to the ground, he murmured to Inuyasha. “He wasn't supposed to tell her that.”

“You did tell him to tell Kagome everything.”

“Don't remind me of that fact.”

“I bet your extremely glad that she doesn't have her bow with her at the moment,” amusement evident in Inuyasha's voice.

“shut your mouth half breed.”

“Deal with it Fluffy, your stuck with me now.”

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

When Kagome stood up to confront Sesshoumaru, Kouga jumped in front of her. “Kagome, calm down. I can explain.”

When she started to walk around him, he made what he hoped was the best move. He pinned the girl to the ground. Closing his eyes, Kouga waited for one of three things to happen. Being killed by the Inu brothers, for touching her. Being attacked by the wolves that now answered to her alone. Or being attacked by Kagome with her Miko powers.

When none of these happened, he dared to open his eyes, and looked at Kagome. Seeing the heartbreak in her eyes, almost broke his own heart. Sitting up he pulled Kagome onto his lap, he tucked the silken fur closer around her. Hoping that the scent would help to calm her down. When she struggled against him, he wrapped his arms more firmly around her, and just rocked her, as she started to cry. When her sobbing started to slow once more, he focused all of his attention on the girl in his lap. Totally forgetting that he could very well be killed for what he was doing.
