Chapter 2

Kagome had only finished saying his name before she was grabbed up into his arms. She ignored the pain in her ribs and returned the hug trying to match his happiness. An almost silent whine made her pull back to look in the wolf's eyes. She gasped realizing that this was not the same Kouga that she had left in the past. This was the face of a man that had seen and lost too much.

“Kouga,…” Kagome started to ask him what was wrong, but before she could finish her sentence the wolf slumped forward.

The small miko was no match for the weight of the wolf. However, she did make for a great cushion to break his fall. Kagome screamed for the help of her brother and grandfather. In moments her family arrived to give her aid. It took both men to drag Kouga into house and up on the couch.

Kagome was hysterical in her search to figure out what had caused her friend to collapse. Her grandfather and brother had stood back when the miko started to rip the clothes off the unconscious man. The clank of a cell phone hitting the floor caught the attention of all in the room. Kagome snatched the phone off the floor and turned it back on. She nearly dropped it when a strange ring tone filled the silence of the room

Kagome looked up and tilted her head as her mother started to giggle.

“I really do not think this is the time to laugh Mama.” Kagome huffed.

“I haven't heard that song in years.” Her mother laughed again.

Kagome listened to the ringtone and looked at the name.

`Sesshomaru?' Her mind instantly recalled the regal demon lord.

“Now I Wanna Be Your Dog by the Stooges.” Her mother said wiping a tear away.

No one said a word for a few moments before busting into snickers. Kagome shook her head and looked down at the blissfully unaware wolf. Her cheeks turned crimson as she noticed that he was now only in his brief. The song abruptly stopped catching Kagome's attention once more. In a hasty moment the miko grabbed Kouga's limp thumb to unlock his phone. She quickly searched his recent calls and phoned Sesshomaru back in hopes that he would know what was wrong with Kouga.

A half of ring later a woman answered not giving Kagome a chance to say hello.

“I swear to all that is holy Kouga… If you do not get your ass back here and act like the king you are suppose to be I will personally go to Japan with a rusted pair of scissors. Then I will cut off your balls and dragged you home. After that I will make you watch as I place your balls in a blender and lastly I will force Ginta and Hakkaku to drink them” she screeched violently into the phone nearly deafening Kagome.

“Naraku, I should have known you were behind this!” Kagome Shouted

There was a hesitation on the other side of line for only a moment before the voice was back. “Who is this?” the voice growled

“Oh, haha Naruka! You know who this is. You don't fool me with that high pitched yelling. I brought you don't once and I can do it again.” Kagome said getting into a fighting stance and waiting for the evil half demon to appear.

Once again the voice asked in a chilly voice “Who is this?”

Kagome lost some of her fighting spirit and was now contemplating if it was Naraku.

“Who is this?” Kagome parroted the question.

“You called me!” The voice bellowed.

“I called Sesshomaru!” Kagome bit out

“You called my mate! Bitch, I will rip out your throat, but first I have a mate to deal with! Sesshomaru you cheating ba…” Ayame ended the call.

Kagome paled looking at the phone then at her family. They looked like a school of fish with their mouths gapping open. Kagome tried to shrug it off with a half-hearted laugh.

“Oops, I think I just caused some troubles for Sesshomaru.”

The phone started to sing again and Kagome nearly did not answer, but she still had no answers to the multiplying questions. Closing her eyes she waited for the lashing to start.

“With whom am I speaking with?” A rather calm voice asked, but Kagome could hear the howling voice of the woman in back calling her his whore, slut, tramp and various others.

The sound of men crying could also be heard in the background.

Kagome palmed her forehead before answering. “I am so sorry Lord Sesshomaru.”

“Hn, you have yet to answer my question.” Sesshomaru stated simply.

Kagome wondered how the best way to answer would be, but instead of the many things she could have said, her reply was “It is I, the Miko Kagome.”

She could almost hear the sounds of crickets on the other side of call. She had forgotten how well demons could hear and it seemed that the statement had rendered them speechless. Angry growl resonated in her ears. “Where is Kouga?”

“Well you see…” Kagome stammered

“ANSWER ME NOW!” Sesshomaru yelled causing her to flinch.

“He is naked on my couch.” Kagome replied before her brains had time to reach her mouth.

“Say again, because I do believe I heard you wrong.” Sesshomaru said in very baffled tone.

Kagome listened as the phone was wrestled away from Sesshomaru and more voices grew louder in the chaotic background. Then the female was back on the phone.

“Kagome! OH MY FREAKIN GODS! Is it really you?” An extremely excited Ayame asked

“Uhh, yes it is me, but who are u” Kagome asked furrowing her brow.

“It's me, It's me Ayame!” The wolf shouted as if Kagome should have known.

“Ayame! No way! You mated Sesshomaru! That is just….I don't know what that is.” Kagome said trying to picture the couple.

Her brother snapped his fingers in front of Kagome's face and then pointed to Kouga.

“Geez, I had totally forgot why I was calling. Kouga just appeared at my home and then he passed out and I have no idea what to do for him..”

Again the phone was wrestled away to be replaced with a calm demeanor.

“He must return home at once or he will die.” Sesshomaru said.

Kagome sighed in relief that it was an easy fix.

“Kay, well let me get my keys and give me the directions to his home.”

“You misunderstand me. He must return to the other side of the veil.” He huffed.

“Oh, okay….Umm where is that exactly; the other side of the veil?”

Kagome asked scratching her head in hoped to stimulate a thought.

Her brother was quick to ask his phone. “Hey sis, my phone says that the veil is apparently the gateway to a plane that exists between heaven and earth”

Kagome rolled her eyes as her shoulders slumped “Of course it is.”

A/N: Just go with it and all will be explained.
