< br> Scene 3 ------------------------------------------- Kaede's Village

* Kouga finds Kagome in the old Miko's hut trying to feed a reluctant hanyou.

Kagome- Come on, Inuyasha. You haven't eatten for three days!
Inuyasha- I told ya! I'm not hungry!
Kouga- Hello, all.

* Inuyasha glances toward Kouga, then turns away with a huff.

Inuyasha- And there's probably why... His stench is what's making me sick.
Kouga- I could say the same about yours, too, Mutt.

* Kagome smiles up at their visitor.

Kagome- Kouga, would you like some stew?
Miroku- Kind of early for you to be around, isn't it?

* Kouga comes over to sit down beside Inuyasha. He watches the hanyou's reaction as he leans to sniff toward him. Inuyasha scoots a couple spaces away from him.

Kouga- I caught a certain... scent on the breeze... It led me straight to.. here.

* Inuyasha swallows, but tries to hide his nervousness. Sango looks up at them suddenly.

Sango- Oh dear.. Springtime!

* Kouga and Inuyasha both look at the slayer. Kagome glances between them all puzzled.

Kagome- What's going on...?

* Inuyasha stands quickly.

Inuyasha- Nothing, Kagome!

* Kouga rolls his eyes.

Kouga- Yeah, that's real subtle, Dogboy.
Kagome- Spring? -- Eep!!

* Kagome looks at the date on her watch. She stands quickly.

Kagome- I'll have to find out later. I have an important Holiday to be home for... I'll be back in a couple days.

* Sango looks up at her.

Sango- Kagome, why don't you take a couple weeks? You do deserve the vacation.

* Kagome looks hesitantly at Inuyasha.

Kagome- D-do you mind, Inuyasha?

* Inuyasha folds his ears down, then sighs.

Inuyasha- No, I don't mind, Kagome... I'm not going anywhere out of this village for a couple weeks anyway.
Kouga- (Mumbled) That's what you think.

* Inuyasha kicks the wolf over with one of his bare feet. Kagome moves to grab her empty bookbag. She looks toward Inuyasha again.

Kagome- You'll be okay? -- I know you get sick like this every spring... It might be an alergy of some kind.

Kouga- An alergy? Yeah, rii-

* Inuyasha's foot lays Kouga out again.

Inuyasha- Yeah. Probably have an allergy of Wolf pelt or something! I'll be fine, Kagome. Just go home!
Kagome- Okay. I'll see you in two weeks.

* His outburst seems to settle her conflict and she leaves quickly. Inuyasha looks toward Kouga who finds himself leaning toward Inuyasha's scent.

Inuyasha- Do you mind?!
Kouga- Relax, Mutt. I can sniff, but I value my life.
Inuyasha- What does that mean?
Kouga- You seem to have attracted a more powerful.. suitor.
Inuyasha- Shut up! Why don't you go make sure Kagome gets to the well okay?
Miroku- Suitor?

* Kouga looks toward Miroku, but Sango leans to whisper in his ear.

Miroku- Ahh... THAT kind of Springtime...

* Inuyasha blushes when Miroku looks toward him again with a knowing grin. Inuyasha starts to leave.

Miroku- So who would this suitor happen to be?

Kouga- I ran into him outside of the village.

* Inuyasha looks down at Kouga.

Inuyasha- Him? Outside...?-- Him?!
Kouga- He was when I came through. He saw me as no threat, I guess.
Inuyasha- Well, you aren't! I'm not interested! You got that?!
Kouga- Sure.

* Inuyasha huffs and leaves. Miroku looks at Kouga again.

Miroku- Did you say... he?

* Kouga begins to eat the bowl of soup Kagome gave him.

Kouga- Yeah... He...
Sango- No wonder Inuyasha is upset. His suitor is a male...
Miroku- Please tell me it's not Naraku.
Kouga- No... I would have killed that.. piece of trash... Actually, I'm not really sure if that's the reason Sesshomaru's out there... He could just be trying to keep Inuyasha from spreading his mutt genes.

* Miroku and Sango both drop their jaws.

Sango- Sesshomaru?!
Miroku- Sesshomaru is outside the village? Now?

* Kouga looks at them nodding. Miroku calms down then begins to rub his chin thoughtfully.

Miroku- Come to think of it... Sesshomaru does come closer every spring.
Kouga- Well, whatever the reason is, you humans need to stay clear of it. It's dangerous to be involved with Sesshomaru any time of the year.
Sango- True.
Miroku- Inuyasha's safety is still important.
Kouga- The Mutt can handle himself... D---, this is good stew!

* Kouga continues to 'wolf' down more stew as Miroku stands and leaves the hut.
