((Chapter 10))

Kagome ran the brush down Mais hair. Mai sniffled and Kagome sighed. Her hearing hadn't come back yet and Kagome wasnt't sure she could. The thing that hurt the most was the fact that Kagome couldn't do anything to help her. Before she knew it her thoughts strayed to last night.

'A shiver coursed through her body when she felt his fingers cup her chin, tiling her head back...'

Kagome didn't know what had possessed her to make her howl like that. She'd just felt it deep within her and she wanted to do it. Everytime she heard one of them do it it, she could visably see there muscles ease. She still didn't understand it...But doing it made her feel more at home than she ever had and then...

'He was so close. Her gaze dropped to his parted lips. He was going to kiss her. "I have to go back." She had whispered.' ...

Kouga had been going to kiss her. HE had been going to kiss her. He had been going to make the first move... When had Inuyasha ever done that? Mai burst into tears, breaking Kagome from her thoughts.


------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------


Kumiko watched Kouga with the wolves. It had been years since he had seen Kouga. He remembered that when Kouga had first brought Kagome to there pack he had cared nothing for her. Nor anything for her throughout the years when Kouga spoke of her... But ever since she had become a part of the pack... Kumiko wanted her for his own. So did Kouga though. Kumiko could tell VERY easily that Kouga wanted her. He had claimed Kagome was his women over and over again years ago. Would Kouga let him have her... Then again, Kagome wasn't marked. And Kouga had no real claim to her other than words. They could BOTH court her. He was a bit neverous on the idea though because he didn't want to share Kagome... And he knew how vicious Kouga could be.

"Oh, Mai. I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry." Kagome wrapped her arms around Mai and hugged the cring girl to her breast. Mai couldn't understand a word Kagome was saying unless she wrote them down. Kouga and a few of the others walked into the cave and looked up in the direction that the scent of tears was coming from. Kagomes pleading sad filled eyes met Kougas.

Kouga walked over, leaving Kumiko behind. He didn't know what to do to help the child. "Let me hold her." Kouga held out his arms and Kagome pushed Mai away gently. She pointed in Kougas direction and the girl sniffled. Her lips trembled and she was about to start crying. Kouga put his index finger to his lips and shook his head and said, "No." Mai blinked and was about to start crying again and Kouga did it again. He shook his head and put his finger over his lips and said the word. "No."

It took Mai a moment to understand but she did. She understood that he was telling her no more crying. He pointed at her and said, "You." He pointed at a wolf on the other end of the cave and said, "Wolf." He then lifted his right arm and flexed the muscles and said, "Strong." He was finally making her understand she was a wolf demon and strong. She didn't have to cry. She sniffled again and Kagome felt a smile tugging at her lips.

Kouga smiled then and a glint came to his eyes. He laid a finger on his lips and then leaned over and tapped his finger against Kagomes lips and looked at Mai. Mai frowned and Kouga did it again and this time puckered his lips. Mais eyes widened. Usually she thought it was disgusting when she saw someone kiss but with Kagome she didn't mind. She nodded vigerously and siad, "Oh yes! Kiss mommy!"

Everyone in the cave heard that and Kouga grinned wickedly. Kagome reared back as her heart started to pound. Kouga leaned closer and Kagome expected his mouth to crash on her lips, kissing her soundly and--His lips touched hers gently. Just the smallest of kisses that left her wanting more. It was over just like that and it left her wanting more.

Kumiko felt jealously prickle at him when he saw the display.

"Kouga." Kagome said slowly and he merely shrugged. "Mai said I could."

Kagome couldn't help it. She laughed. Everyone else in the cave knew that Kouga was staking his claim on her again.

The day passed quickly and it seemed more boring than ever. Kagomes thoughts wondered every now and then to that light kiss. If she could even call that a kiss. She would check on Mai often and to her surprise Mai seemed much better after what Kouga had done to her. She kept saying that she was strong and wouldn't cry anymore.

Kagome did what she did the night before. She walked out of the cave and headed towards the cliff. A secret part of her wondered if Kouga would be there. He was. He turned his head when he heard her. He'd been thinking about her. She sat beside him as she had the night before.

Kouga liked having Kagome so close to him all the time. He'd always imagined her being with him all the time like this. Though when he'd imagined this she had been in bed with him. There bodies intwined...

"What you did for Mai was wonderful, Kouga. Thank you."

Kouga knew what she was talking about but he decided to go for the other one. He smiled. "I know it was and I think she liked that I kissed her... mommy."

Kagome turned and stared at him. "That wasn't what I meant."

"I know." Was all that he replied. He knew Mai needed someone to help her and though Kagome could, Mai needed someone else, not just Kagome. So he had been that someone else and told her what he had been told at one time.

Kagomes next words had him turning to stare at her as a glint entered his eyes. "Not that it mattered."

"What do you mean it didn't matter?" That kiss hadn't meant anything to her? Kouga couldn't help but admit to himself that that hurt. Even though it had been a small kiss, just a peck on the lips, it had sent heat rushing through his body. Maybe he should...

Kagome really didn't know why she was goading him like this. She had never done anything like this to him. Not even years ago. What was wrong with her. "I barely felt anything. It was just a pe--"

"Hmmm." Kougas hand whipped out and he cupped her chin in his hand. "Maybe I should give you another...MEMORY to make it worth your while then."

Kagome felt him leaning close to her and she lifted her chin but he didn't release it. He merely pulled it back down and Kagome said. "By all means, if you think it would help you--" Kougas lips crashed down on hers. Kagome felt the pressure of his soft lips against hers. His lips had always looked soft and they were soft. She felt his hand sweep to the back of her neck, pulling her closer. Kagome felt her body being tugged to his and she followed till her hands rested against his chest. His tongue found entrance to her mouth and plundered. Kagome gasped as his tongue slid over hers. Caressing every corner of the delectable moist heat inside. The moment she started to respond Kouga pulled back and stood up, pulling her with him.

His lips wore a smug smile. "We need to get back." Was all he said. He felt triumphant right then. He had proved his point to Kagome that he was one damn good kisser and she had been about to respond... That was all he needed to know. Payback was a bitch sometimes. Maybe she would come back here tomorrow night...

Before Kouga let her walk into her part of the cave he pulled her into the heat of his body and kissed her again, though not like he had at the cliff. Just a mere pressing of lips. "I always knew you would respond to me one day." He whispered and left before she could respond, a smirk on his beautiful lips.
