Chap4




After Kate bathed she decided to go for a walk.

Drake appeared out of nowhere. He walked up behind her, and she whispered “Don’t try it Drake….”

He looked shocked and asked “Try what?” with pure innocence in his voice.

“You don’t wanna. I’m mad as hell right now leave me alone!” she stated angrily.

Drake took an involuntary step back. He gulped, and walked right next to her, and turned her to face him.

“Kate, you’re even cuter when you’re angry.” Drake whispered in her ear, as he pushed some strands of her hair back.

Kate sighed and rolled her eyes. “Drakevon...” She warns.

But Drake gently kissed her cheek.

Kate’s eyes opened wide, then she slowly closed them.

After a minute he pulled away. “You ok?” He whispered while playing with her hair.

“I will be.” she replied.

He said “You know I am truely sorry! I KNOW you would never do that! I was just worried about you!”

Then he handed her a bunch of her favorite flowers. “Yeah, yeah, I know.” she replied as she accepted the flowers.

After a minute Kate let her head drop onto his shoulder, as Drake held her.

Kate let out a deep breath, then pushec Drake away. “Lets go, the others are gonna start getting worried soon.”

Drake sighed and put on his best puppy dog face and said "Aww come on Katie, you can't stay mad at me forever, can you?"

She pointed her finger and said "Don't push it Drakey!"

Then he pouted and she laughed, while shaking her head. She turned around and walked off.

Drake stood there for a minute grining, then caught up with her and said seriously "You realize we are gonna have to tell them eventually right!?"

She sighed and said "Yeah I know, but they are not ready yet!" and

He replied "I know, you're right, BUT if we wait to much longer they are gonna be furious!"

She sighed and said "I know."

Then they walked back to camp together.

Once they joined the others and everyone had calmed down, they felt the wind pick up again and saw a whirlwind appearing.

Koga steped out of the whirlwind.

Inuyasha moved to draw his sword and demanded "What do you want scrawny wolf!?!"

Koga replied "I came to see MY woman! Mangy mutt!"

Then looked over at Kate and said "Hey Kagome, what did you do to your hair?"

Kate sighed and said "I am not Kagome!"

Koga looked shocked and said "Then how come you look so much like her, and even smell almost the same?"

Kate said "I am her cousin!"

Koga walked up, looked into her eyes and said "You look just like her, except your hair is longer, and a different color, and your eyes are....different."

Kate broke eye contact.

Koga lightly placedd his hand on Kate's cheek, and Drake removed Koga's hand.

Koga frowned, then inhaled Kate's scent deeply and continued "You even smell like her except....not fully human!"

At this everyone but Kate and Drake gasped.

Drake looked at Kate and said seriuosly "Now! We must tell them now!"

Kate sighed and said "I agree! The time has come."

Drake looked at them and everyone but Koga, Kate, and Drake sat down.

Kate explained "As you already know, I am not a priestess or a sorceress! BUT I am not fully human either!"

Jaws dropped and Kate sighed and continued "I am 3/4 human and 1/4 demon." Jaws dropped again and everyone stared.

Kate continued. "My father was a full blooded human, but my mother was a 1/2 demon and 1/2 human. Tho I am mostly human, I have the streangth of a weak demon."

Drake added "My father was a full demon, and my mother was 1/2 demon and 1/2 human. I look almost like a full human, so it was easy to blend in, but I have the attributes of a demon."

Everyone was quiet and let everyhting sink in.

Then Inuaysha said "That isn't all of it yet. Is it?"

Kate sighed and said "No, it isn't."

Then Drake said "She is also a seductress!"

Kate sighed and noded.

Inuyasha said "So that's why I can't seem to stay mad at you, huh?"

Kate smiled and said "For the most part! HOWEVER I usually shield those whom I know would succumb to my powers. And those whose hearts are truely anothers, are not affected as much."

She sighed and Drake added "That is where I come in! I help to keep her powers in check, as she does with mine. We found out when we were younger, that we can cancel each others powers out."

Kate said "Drake for the most part effects women the same way I do men."

Drake added "But there are times when we need to seperate in order to keep our powers under controll!"

Kate added "That is mostly why Drake leaves every now and then."

Drake added "BUT I did have other bussiness to tend to while I was gone as well."

Sango stood and said "So are you two an item then?"

Kate and Drake answered in unison and said "NO! We are more like a team. But we are not romantically involved!"

Drake added "We have pretty much grown up together, and are the very best of friends! It took us a while to figure out what was happening."

Kate added "Then once we figured out we could cancel each other out, we pretty much have stayed beside each other ever since."

They said in unison "BUT we have NEVER gotten involved romanticaly!"

Koga looked at Kate and said "You are a seductress?"

Inuyasha said "Yes stupid wolf! That's what they just said!"

Koga and Inuyasha got ready to fight.

Kate said "SITBOY!"

Inuyasha slammed into the ground and yelled "Will you stop doing that!"

Kate smiled and said "Then behave yourself."

Then she looked at Koga and said "And YOU will behave as well! Got that?"

Koga noded and grumbled "Fine."

Koga's POV

I thought to myself "Hm I wonder if she is controlling me now?"

Regular POV

Drake threw his head back, laughed and said "Koga, she is sheilding you as much as she can without draining herself! So you reactions, and thoughts are entirely your own."

Koga noded his head in acknowledgement.

Then Koga said "Hey, wait a minute! How did you...?

Drake replied with a smirk "We can also read minds. And even tho she can not sense the jewel shards, she can also sense and read auras."

Koga was shocked at this newest knowledge.

Then Kate said "I am able to shield those who would otherwise be most susciptible to my powers... more so when Drake is closeby."

Drake added "Even tho we can cancel one another out, we are also able to enhance and asist each other as well."

Then Kate said "We are the Yin to the others Yang."

Then everyone noded in acknowledgement.

Then Inuyasha said "So let me get this straight. She is a seductress, and you stay by her to help controll her powers to a point, and she does the same for you right?"

Drake and Kate noded.

Sango added "And even tho you cancel each other out, you can enhance and assist each other as well?"

They noded again.

Miroku said "So you two are a team, but not romanticaly involved right?"

They noded yet again.

Koga said "What else do we need to know?"

Kate said "We are strongest and in the most controll of our powers, when around each other, but IF we are around each other constantly, it will also drain us faster."

Drake added "So I leave every now and again, to help us BOTH regain our balance."

Kate added "BUT we can still tell instantly when one needs the others assistance."

Then she thought to Drake, "That is all they need for now, better not to give to much away to soon."

He thought back"Very true, they are already having a hard enough time accepting things as it is."

She thought back "So, we will wait."

He thought back"I agree!"

Then everyone was quiet while they absorbed everything that had been explained.

After awhile Koga asked "So then where IS Kagome?"

Kate replied "She has some VERY important tests to study for and is in her own time, and has sealed the well. She won't be back untill AFTER her exams."

Then she thought to Drake "Wich also means WE can't go back untill it is unsealed."

He thought back sarcasticaly "Terrific!"

Then Koga asked "And HOW LONG will that be?"

Kate replied "Almost another 3 weeks."

Koga sighed heavily and all was quiet again.

A few hours later.....



"Well, anyone else have anymore questions?" asked Drake.

Koga replied "Yead I do."

Drake said "Well what is it?"

Koga said "Just exactly how close are you and Kate?"

Drake smiled and said "As close as two people can get without being romanticaly involved."

Koga noded.

Kate added "Drake and I have been thru ALOT togther. Our parents deaths, grade school, middle school, High school. Our parents deaths, and afterwards was the worst of it so far...".

Drake added "We were the only ones we had to help with that. It was only a few years ago..."

Then Inuyasha said "What about Kagome?"

Kate replied "Kagome tried to be there of course...but Drake and I were able to consol each other in far deeper ways."

Drake added "To put it bluntly, we knew how the other felt and could feel the genuine feeling of remorse and mourning but not pity."

Kate added "Kagome has a very big heart, but sometimes she tries to much..."

Drake added "So we helped each other."

Koga noded and said "I see."

Sango said "I know what its like to not only lose you parents, but the ENTIRE villiage...."

Kate looked at her friend and said "Sango, I am truely sorry for what you lost! But you have used that loss to become much stronger!"

Sango smiled sadly and said "I have, haven't I."

Kate smiled and noded.

Drake looked at Koga and said "You too, have lost much! But the loss has also made you stronger, more focused, and a better leader!"

Kate smiled noded and said "Never forget EVERYTHING happens for a reason! We may never know what the reason is..."

Drake finished "But there is ALWAYS a reason!"

Everyone noded in agreement.

Kate added "And No Koga, even tho we can, we are NOT reading your mind....only your emotions!"

Drake added "They are plain to see on your face and mostly in your eyes."

Koga noded.

Kate added "I will now give you my word, as I did with the others, that I will NOT read your mind unless you give me permission to."

Drake added "I will also give my word."

Koga said "Okay, thank you."

Drake said "Just because we have the abilities, dosen't mean we use them."

Kate added with a smile "And we try our best to NEVER abuse them!"

Koga smiled and said "You two are far wiser then most!"

Kate smiled and noded.

Drake smiled and said "So we have been told."

Kate announced she was going for a walk and the others stayed behind.

Koga also went for a walk but in a different direction.

Koga went and sat on a hill and looked out across the land.

Kate followed the path to the river.

After awhile Koga came to stand by the river and saw Kate alone.

Kate walked over to Koga and placed one hand on his shoulder and said softly "Koga, we all must bear heavy burdens, BUT that doesn't mean we have to do it alone! Remember that."

Koga sighed heavily and she lightly squeezed his shoulder and moved to walk away, when Koga spoke up "Sometimes, one must bear it alone."

Kate shook her head and said "No! Sometimes even the strongest and bravest must accept or even ask for help. To be the best leader, one can, one must be willing to make sacrifices for the better of the people. BUT that doesn't mean one must face it alone either."

As she moved to walk away again, Koga grabbed her elbow and said "How does one so young as you, get to be so wise?"

She smiled and said "In life one must face many hardships! HOWEVER it is what one does after facing the hardships, that can either make one stronger and wiser, or weaker. I have chosen to use those hardships to become stronger."

Then Koga looked at her and said "Thank you."

Kate replied "You wear you emotions plainly on you face, one doesn't need to read your mind to know what your thinking. Do not mistake the need to accept or asking for help as weakness Koga! It can in fact sometimes be the smartest choice!"

Koga noded, sighed and replied "You know, you're right!"

Kate smiled, noded and left.

Kate returned to camp and Koga sat by the river deep in thought for awhile.
