((Chapter 11))
Kouga and the others were out hunting again. Kumiko was running alongside him and Kouga couldn't help but ask...
"Are you courting Kagome?"
Kumiko almost tripped over the fallen log in front of him when Kouga asked that question. Kumiko started going faster, making his legs pump faster as he ran. "I'm trying." No sense in hiding it.
A spark of jealously lit in Kouga. He had thought that with Inuyasha out of the way that he wouldn't have to worry about any more competition. Not that Kumiko would be any competition. But still...He didn't want anyone else near his woman. "You know I have a claim to her." Was all he said.
Kumiko nodded, bouncing over another log to keep up with Kouga. It seemed like they were...racing. "You're my leader and whatever you say is what I will do." If Kouga ordered him to leave Kagome alone, which was what he was VERY sure Kouga would do, then he would leave Kagome alone. To his surprise...
"If you think you can, try." Kouga said with a wicked smile on his lips. He was that confident about himself. He was sure that Kagome hadn't responded to Kumiko as she had last night to him.
Kouga pounced on a deer. He'd gotten the prey in his sights now all he had to do was get his other prey.

Kagome was starting to lose hope that Mai would ever get her hearing back. She really didn't want to believe that Mai might go the rest of her life without hearing. Mai was a little happier now...Even though she still cried when she thought no one was around. She was about to see how Mai was doing when she heard a loud commotion coming from the front of the cave. Kouga and Kumiko burst through. Kumiko jumped to the side of Kouga and raced past him, a dozen mixed, picked, flowers in his hands. Her eyes widened as Kouga growled as Kumiko beat him to her. He shoved the flowers at her and Kagome just stared at them.
"There for you, Kagome." Kumiko stared dumbly at her when she didn't take the flowers right away.
"Well... um... Thank you, Kumiko." Kagome took the flowers and let a small smile grace her lips. This was new. To her surprise Kumiko turned and looked at Kouga, a grin on his face. "You said I could try. And now-" He turned back to Kagome. "Have dinner with me tonight Kagome." Kumiko was taken full advantage of having beat Kouga here.
Kouga wasn't exactly worried. He could tell from Kagomes scent that she wasn't interested in Kumiko. Her heart never even skipped a beat when she saw him or started to pound...
"Can I come mommy?" Mai said from on the floor as she sharpened her small blade.
Everyone grew quiet and stared at her. Mai just continued sharpening her blade and then...Her head jerked up. She gasped and smiled happily. "I can hear again! MOMMY! I CAN HEAR!"
Kagome smiled and dropped to her knees, running her fingertips over Mais ears softly. "Yes, you can. Finally! I was starting to lose hope."
Mai placed her hands on her hips like she had seen Kouga and some of the other men do. "Of course my hearing would come back. I'm a wolf demon. Doesn't matter if I'm a girl." She didn't mention or seem to remember that earlier she had been sad and VERY doubtful that her hearing may never come back. "I want to come!"
Kagome opened her mouth but didn't say anything. What could she say? "I-"
Kouga stepped forward with a wide smirking smile on his face. Two could play Kumikos game. Kouga had waited over eight years to make Kagome his and he wasn't going to lose her now. "Sorry Kumiko but she has already agreed to go with me."
Kagomes eyes shot back and forth between the two before what was happening finally dawned on her. Kouga and Kumiko were fighting over her. It might not be physically fighting but they were still fighting to see who could get her? What the hell? Who did they think she was? She wasn't just a piece that someone could have. She was surprised though. As many times as she had denied Kouga in the past he was still trying to make her "his woman", if she rememebred correctly. She was getting a little tired of this...She was a human, not a piece of cake or food that anyone could just have.
She smiled sweetly up at Kouga. "I know I did. Maybe next time Kumiko." Kagome was going to play Kouga and Kumikos game, but with her own rules.
A smug satisfied look came across Kougas face when Kagome actually agreed to the lie he had said. Little did he know Kagome had plans for him. Then again, he had plans for her...
