Chapter 3

Kouga yawned and stretched feeling more free and relaxed than he had in a long time. He greedily gulped sweet pure air into his lungs. Slowly he cracked open his eyes to look and see where he was. His brow furrowed and a frown appeared on his face. Pink, he was surrounded and floating in Pepto Bismol pink.

“Hmm, Did I die?” Kouga mumbled the question to himself.

He swiped his claw through a cotton candy cloud that happened by. He almost had it in his mouth when a voice rang out.

“Kouga don't eat that!” A voice boomed loudly through the air.

Kouga quickly shook the cloud like essence off his fingers.

A giggle sounded in the air, a giggle that he had not heard in long time.

“Kagome, is that you!” Kouga yelled into the pink void.

“Geez, you don't have to shout.” Kagome said stepping into his view.

Kouga's eyes began to glow a bright blue as his beast stirred in his mind. The beast was leery that perhaps this was a cruel joke. Kouga ignored it and moved once again to grab his woman into his arms. Subtly his wolf touched, sniffed and even stole little licks of her skin. The beast wagged his tail in happiness when he found it was indeed his lost miko.

Kagome stiffened for a moment and pulled back looking Kouga in the eyes

“Did you just lick me?”

“Yeah right, that would be weird or creepy.” Kouga blushed letting her go.

Kagome rolled her eyes at the blatant lie. “No, it would be you.”

Kouga tilted his head trying to decide if that was a good or bad thing. He opted for good letting it go. He looked her over taking in the wonderful woman that she had become. Clear soulful eyes, lush pink lips, softly tanned skin and a great pair of shapely legs. She had another pair of assets, but he didn't want to stare and maybe piss her off. `Yeah, she was worth the wait.' He thought.

Kagome was doing her own mental checklist. Those intense blue eyes outlined in dark lashes, silken raven hair that now fell to his shoulders. Of course the strong shoulders themselves would lead your eyes to toned arms. A chest that you just wanted to rub oil on… “Kagome?” Her named pulled her eyes back to his.

“I am so sorry Kouga. What did you say?” Kagome stammered out.

“I asked where we are and what had happened to my clothes?” Kouga smirked lifting a brow. He had caught her staring at him with a strange look in her eyes.

“Oh, yes. Sorry it has just been a little crazy around here. With you showing up and finding out that Sesshomaru is still alive and mated Ayame. They even have kids. I just find that mind blowing…”

“Kagome, where are we and where are my clothes?” He asked again to stop the ramble.

“Well, at this moment we are inside the jewel. A neat little trick I learned from one of the white witches on the other side. Thank goodness for Skype. Your clothes were destroyed. I am really sorry about that, but I had to see your body…I mean to check you over…No injuries or whatever. You had just collapsed and I didn't know what was wrong then Sesshomaru called and Ayame answered…Chaos happened”

Kouga startled her when he started laughing. That of course caused Kagome to start laughing even if she had no idea why. Pretty soon they were just hysterical. Kagome started to hiccup and Kouga sobered then smiled and pulled her back into his arms and waited for the hiccups to stop.

“So, Sesshomaru told me that all the veils in Japan had been closed a year ago, because something or someone was bringing toxins through.” Kagome said relaxing in his arms.

Kouga nodded recalling the decision. “That's right.”

“Well when all the magic was taken from Japan the well that I travelled to the past in stopped working.” Kagome said still a little agitated

Kouga pulled back to look and see if she was pulling his leg.

“You were a time traveler and you used an old well as a portal?” He wondered.

Kagome got a sinking feeling in her stomach. Surely Inuyasha would have told them.

“Did Inuyasha never tell anyone?” She asked fearing the answer.

“Kagome, Inuyasha disappeared at the same time you did. We have not been able to find any trace of him.” Kouga softly told her. Kagome shook her head as her hands raised to her mouth. Tears rimmed and then fell from her eyes.

“I am so sorry Kagome.” Kouga said running his hands through her hair as tears from her eyes ran down his chest. He didn't want to ask, but he really wanted to know.

“So are we stuck in here for eternity?” Kouga asked

Kagome swiped away her tears. “No we are being shipped to Scotland and Sesshomaru said something about picking us up on Overtoun Bridge.”

“Really, of all the portals he wants to try his fate at that bridge.” Kouga huffed.

Kagome looked up at him finally noticing that she had been on his arms for a long time and by the way he was holding her she would not be leaving his grasp. She shrugged to herself not caring to leave anyway.

“Yeah, Ayame seemed pretty mad about it also. What is with this bridge that has everyone so up in arms?” She asked

“That bridge is where dogs go to commit suicide. The last time Sesshomaru was there it nearly defeated him. Ayame was the one that found him. It has always bothered him that the bridge had defeated him.” Kouga replied.

Kagome scrunched her nose in thought. “Geez, you guys are always trying to prove things that might get you killed in the end.”

A/N: The bridge is a real thing…Pretty creepy.
