Chapter five

Consider this…

 

 

“Sango, Kouga and I are more than just friends.”

 

Sango's jaw was about to fall off her face, but then she noticed Kagome squirming.

 

“Kagome, how much more than just friends are we talking about?

 

 

Sango was still staring at her as if she had just sprouted a second head. There was no way to go back now. Now where to start?

 

“Well don't just sit there, answer the question Kagome.”

 

Shaking her head and looking at Sango, she began her tale. “In order for you to understand I am going to take you to the day that everything changed. You remember the day that Inuyasha hit me with a water balloon?”

 

“Of course I remember, I wanted to strangle him but you didn't let me.”

 

“Okay, that was the day that everything between me and Kouga changed.

 

 

Kagome had been nervous ever since Kouga's vow in the bathroom. It had been the most embarrassing moment of her life. Even though she had to admit it was very romantic and chivalrous of him, it was a little unnerving .Everything would have been normal if Inuyasha wasn't so mean, she was nothing but nice to him and he had to go and ruin her day ALL THE TIME!!! But maybe he did her a favor by throwing the water balloon at her. This incident had been the last straw.

 

Yes she, Kagome Higurashi had a crush on Inuyasha, but not anymore. It was plain as day to see that Inuyasha was nothing but cruel at least when it came to her. Inuyasha was the one on her mind all the time, but who was the one that was always there for her no matter what? Her knight in shining armor, he came to her rescue more times than she could count.

 

Maybe it was time that Kagome take her eyes off of Inuyasha and focused her attention on the one person that cared for her. Now how to tell Kouga that she had a change of mind well heart. Then it hit her, she had the perfect excuse to talk to him out of school. She dialed his number and waited for him to answer.

 

“Ookami residence, with who am I speaking?”

 

“This is Kagome, can I speak to Kouga?”

 

“Just a moment”

 

Kagome was waiting for less than two minutes before Kouga was on the phone.

 

“And to what do I owe the pleasure of this call?”

 

Kagome couldn't help but giggle at his comment.

 

“I was just wondering what you were up to?”

 

“Well if you must know, I am actually doing nothing. Why do you ask?”

 

“Well I was kind of bored and I figured that I'd give you a call and find out what you were doing.”

 

“Now that you know what I am doing, how may I be of service?”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes at her own stupidity. He must think that she is an idiot, she makes no sense.

 

“Well I was thinking that if you weren't busy maybe we could get together and entertain each other.”

 

“What kind of entertainment did you have in mind?”

 

“A movie maybe”

 

“Why don't you come over? I have a lot of movies.”

 

“That sounds good; I'll be there in twenty minutes.”

 

“I will be waiting.”

 

Kagome hung up and dropped onto her couch like a sack of potatoes. Now that she had everything in motion she should probably try to change into something more appealing. Not that she really cared what Kouga thought of what she was wearing. After all he had been the one to practically propose to her in the bathroom just today.

 

Running to her room with a million thoughts in her head she knew one thing for sure, she had to wear something that would make him hit on her again. Because after their little encounter in the bathroom he had decided that with his vow in place he shouldn't hit on her anymore. So she needed to make sure that she looked as hot as possible and even then he might still try to resist her just because of his damn honor.

 

Kagome reached her room in record time and stood in front of the closet for what seemed like hours and then out of the corner of her eye she saw what she was looking for. It was a green halter top that Sango had gotten her for her birthday; she had thought that she would never have any reason to wear it, Then again she never thought that she would have to wear something a little on the slutty side in order to seduce Kouga. The Halter top was a low V neck that showed off her very ample cleavage that she had been blessed with and it made her neck seem longer than it actually was. She decided to pair it off with a dark denim skirt which would be accompanied by a black belt and her black Jordan's. Once her outfit was on her person she could not decide what to do to her hair, she knew that it looked very good down but she needed to look sexy so maybe she could put a little mouse in it and give herself bed hair. It was at times like this that she loved her photographic memory she had seen Eri do this a million times, trying to catch the attention of some boy. Again she never thought that her tricks would come in handy but these were desperate times.

 

Once her hair look like she had stepped right out of bed in a good way she moved on to makeup. Now this was something that she hated, so she just put on a pinch of eyeliner at the slit of her eyes to make her look catty was the term that Eri used all the time and added some lip gloss and she was done with her makeup. She looked at herself in the mirror and could not believe that the person looking back at her was really the Kagome Higurashi that she knew was underneath. She knew that this was a once in a lifetime thing, she just needed to look irresistible in order for Kouga to be more than tempted and cave. Once he did then she could drop the act and be herself once more. It's not as if she was invisible to him anyways, he had admitted that much before she had oh so gently pushed him away. So now she was going to use her feminine wiles to get him back. If Sango could only see her right this second she would think she was crazy. Never in her life had she done anything as insane as what she was doing right this second. She had never had any real interest in guys as a whole. That was apparent seeing her choices of crushes, Inuyasha the one guy who had never said a nice thing to her.

 

Sango knew about her crush on Inuyasha and she never understood her reasoning behind the craziness that was Kagome, so she chose not to comment on her choice. However she always tried to push her toward Kouga. She said that he was adorable and could make her smile; she asked her time and time again what else she could possibly want from a relationship.

 

Well if Sango knew what was going through Kagome's mind right now then there would be a celebration waiting for her when she returned from Kouga's. But she would tell her when she came back instead of getting her hopes up for nothing if something went wrong. Grabbing a light black sweater she began her journey to Kouga's.

 

She loved Kouga's neighborhood, you see the Ookami's were rich. But they were not snobby at least not Kouga and his mom, she had yet to meet his dad. He was supposedly very important but he lived in some weird place called Coaltella, it was like its own country or something. It wasn't that important at least not to Kouga and his mom. As she reached Kouga house or rather mansion she looked up at the security house which was 20 feet up in the air. She smiled up at them and they let her in, she had only been here a handful of times but the security was composed of wolf demons so they already knew her scent. She was about to knock on the door when it was opened followed by a gust of wind, which settled to reveal a grinning Kouga.

 

“I thought you weren't going to come”. That was when he looked down and seemed to see her for the first time ever. His mouth was hanging open and he was taking his time looking her over, as if he couldn't believe that it was actually happening. He seemed to be staring at a point that wasn't quite her eyes. She couldn't help the feeing of victory overwhelming her at the sight of his appearance.

 

She decided that she wouldn't let her intentions be revealed quite this soon so she had to put up a bit of an act.

 

“Kouga are you okay, is there something wrong?”

 

She couldn't help but smirk as she watched the scene before her. It was apparent that he had not heard a work out of her mouth because he was still entertaining himself by staring at her décolletage. She realized that in order for her plan to be completed he needed to actually listen to what she had to say so she zipped up her sweater and tried again.

 

“Earth to Kouga” she said while waving her hand in his face. That seemed to knock him off of cloud nine.

 

He shook his head trying to clear his dirty thoughts. It was a very hard thing to do considering how luscious her neck looked. I mean what the hell had she been thinking; she made it very clear that they were only friends why did she come dressed like that. `It seems as if she is trying to torture me, well I guess it is my job to make her regret it, she did only want to be friends after all.'

 

 

Kagome didn't see Kouga's smirk but she did notice that he had refrained from openly gawking at her.

 

“So are you going to invite me in or are we watching the movie here?”

 

“I was actually planning on watching the movie in my room because my mom is planning on redecorating the living room when she comes back from the hotel.”

 

She just nodded her head and walked toward his room. You see Kouga's mom owned a chain of hotels around the world and they had just opened one in downtown Tokyo, so she was overseeing the progress. He walked ahead of her because he could not take the sight of her legs, it was making it impossible to concentrate on anything but her damn body and everything that was covered which was enough to make him hungry. Yeah that's right hungry but not for food, if you get the drift.

 

Kagome could not believe her luck when he walked by her to take the lead, this opened up the opportunity she had been waiting for. As he opened the door for her, he waited for her to go in. She walked by him and right as he was closing his bedroom door she bent over to tie her shoe. She missed the look on his face but she did not miss the growl that came from his direction at the sight that he had been presented with.

 

Before she knew what was happening she had been pushed against the wall and had Kouga devouring her neck, he couldn't resist the temptation at the sight of her black panties.

 

Kagome was more than a little surprised at his sudden attack, but she welcomed it with open arms literally. She tangled her hands in his hair while he crushed her against the wall.

 

Kouga on the other hand could not believe that she was responding with equal fervor. He grabbed her around the waist and lifted her as she wrapped her legs around him and proceeded to take his attention away from her neck long enough to erase his current thoughts as she kissed him with such force that he fell back on the bed with her on top of him. They broke from their kiss when they deemed it absolutely necessary. Kagome remained in her seated position and she couldn't help the smirk that graced her lips, she had more than accomplished her goal. She had gone far above her goal.

 

She looked down at her knight in shining armor and could not believe her luck. She was so glad that she came to her senses.

 

“This was a very nice movie if I do say so myself.” He said with a grin on his face.

 

“What happened to not being my woman?”

 

“Well I decided that I want to be your woman but only to make sure that no other girl has to deal with your possessiveness. I am the only one equipped to deal with you.”

 

“Is that so well since you know so much, how exactly are we supposed to deal with this new development?”

 

Kagome had not thought of that, she knew that she was not really allowed to date and how the hell was she supposed to tell everyone she knew that her only guy friend was now her boyfriend. Everything that people had already implied about their relationship would be proved and her mom wouldn't let them be around each other as she was allowed now.

 

“I didn't think that far ahead, what do you think we should do?”

 

“Well I know that you aren't allowed to date until next year but I can honestly say that I cannot and will not stay away from you for a whole year. So I suggest that you come up with a plan in where you don't get in trouble and I get you.” He couldn't help but laugh at the look of anger in her face at that last statement.

 

“Oh yes let me just pull an idea out of my ass, especially since I am the criminal mastermind.”

 

“Now you got that right, so what did you come up with?”'

 

Kagome had to admit that once she began thinking the only idea that seemed viable was a little tricky.

 

“Well we could pretend to be friends but be a secret couple.”

 

“That might work when in the company of your family but no one else.”

 

She poked him in the chest while she made her argument. “But alas people are always complaining that I smell like you, so there is no problem in that aspect.”

 

“You forget that demons have a very good sense of smell they might not think anything is wrong now but if we do something besides kissing then they will know.”

 

“Are you sure about that because you didn't know when Eri and Hojo first got together, you found out by me.”

 

“Well I don't really smell things that don't interest me and who the hell would have thought that Hojo was going to get laid.”

 

She rolled her eyes at his last comment but resumed her conversation. “And who may I ask is interested in me?”

 

“Well I am and whoever isn't an idiot.”

 

“Well thank you but in this case it works in our benefit. But we need to make sure that we tell no one that way there is no way that my mom will find out at least not until the time in which I am allowed to date.”

 

“That sounds perfect to me, how about we seal the deal.”

 

“Shake on it?”

 

Kouga pulled her by the neck before saying “I have a better idea.”

 

 

Kagome finished her story and sat back to look at Sango who was staring at her like a deer caught in headlights. She watched in fascination as she tried to formulate a response of some kind. She took one second to collect her thoughts and finally came to.

 

“Well first of all I want to say that I never suspected that you guys were a couple, second I am glad to say that I am proud of the fact that you took initiative, third I don't care what his excuse was for what happened but I would like your permission to kill Kouga the next time I see him for what he did today.”

 

“No Sango I shouldn't have been with Inuyasha in the first place, that was wrong. We had just broken up.”

 

“You were not a public couple plus he decided to break up with you so fuck him. He had no right to say anything when he was the one that decided to break things off.”

 

Sango took the opportunity to look at her silent friend and her heart broke at the sight before her.

 

“Kagome please don't cry, he doesn't deserve your tears.” Sango hugged her friend as the onslaught came.

 

Kagome needed to voice her concerns; she had held them to herself for so long she just needed to know. So pulling back she looked at her best friend with tears in her own eyes. She tried to smile at her but it came out a sorry excuse.

 

“Why Sango, why would he leave me what did I do to make him leave me?”

 

“Kagome you didn't do anything, he is an idiot there is nothing you could have done to make him leave you.”

 

“Then why, I know he still loves me, he told me himself. He said that he would always love me, why the hell would he leave me when we can finally take our relationship public. Is that it, is he ashamed of me?”

 

Sango was trying to make sense of what she was saying but it was hard. She was beginning to get confused herself. If Kouga did say that he loved her why would he put her through this torment? She knew that Kouga was careless but it was obvious to anyone that he cared for Kagome. He protected her from everything and everyone; she herself had seen him in action.

 

“Kagome if he loves you then there must be a very good reason for his actions.”

 

Kagome said nothing as she tried to process what Sango was saying, she had thought of that but she could not come up with any reason that was dire enough for him to treat her this way.

 

“How about I help you find out what is going on through his head, maybe then you guys can fix whatever it is that went wrong. You know that you and Kouga can't stay mad at each other for more than 2 days at a time.”

 

Kagome just nodded and decided that it was a good plan of action. She needed to find out what would make him act this way. It must be big to make him break up with her then make him blow up the way that he did. Even thought she understood the way he behaved was because Kouga was extremely jealous. But if he was that jealous then she really needed to find out the reason behind the break up.

 

“Okay let's get some sleep so that we can begin our investigation.” With a real smile in Sango's direction, she turned forward and buckled up.

 

“Home it is” Sango loved the way that Kagome always bounced up from anything no matter how bad it was. She only hoped that what ever they found out was stupid so that it could be an easy fix. Sango dropped Kagome off at her house and made her way home.

 

Kagome told her mom that she didn't feel good and that was the reason for her being home so early. She spent the day doing chores and when she got to bed she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
