From Bad to Worse
Chapter Eight: Let the Festivities Begin!
-Clunk-
"Oh shit. I did not just hear that." Kagome muttered to herself as she warily turned around in the early morning darkness. It was almost dawn when she had awoken, unable to slink back into sleep.
Seeing nothing behind her, she sighed.
Not that that lasted very long.
Especially since a pair of arms grabbed her from her side, hauling her into the person's chest.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk mate. Thought you could avoid your mate forever, ne?"
That damn pouncy wolf!
That damn smirk!
If there was one thing Kagome didn't like, it was being snuck up on.
So she did the one thing that came to mind when he started to kiss her, sliding his tongue out to meet her parting lips.
She bit him.
Not that it was a hard bite or anything…
Kouga loosened his grip and yelped in surprise.
Kagome took this as a chance to leap away from the horny wolf demon, dashing as soon as her toe touched the concrete.
Oh.
It was on.
The chase…has commenced.
The wolf prince stood in shock in front of the porch, fingers brushing his lips. His eyes slid shut as a wide smile curved itself on his mouth.
Kouga watched as his soon-to-be-mated ran as if the devil were on her heels across the shrine grounds. And so there was.
Kouga sat down on the concrete steps, "Might as well give her a head start, after all I have shards and she is human." He muttered to himself into the pre-dawn air…
"I cannot believe we made it out alive!" Hakkaku slapped a hand to his sweaty forehead; he and Ginta had been running for half a day straight.
Ginta lay on the soft, dry grass; his chest heaving from exhaustion after he collapsed from their long journey.
Ginta patted the young wolf on the head languidly as he sighed. They had nearly done it this time.
And Kouga wasn't even there to save them...
He turned to Hakkaku, and Hakkaku turned to him.
"Kagura! How dare you come after us? As much as you've done to our tribe we will slay you and Naraku!"
The wind demoness let her fan drop open, idly bringing her arm sideways, producing a mediocre gust of wind.
"Do you honestly think that I care? I'm being ordered to do this, whether you or I like it or not." Kagura gave a cruel grin, "It has to be done."
She brought down her fan once more with a sharp downward thrust and a barrage of mini tornadoes filled with surrounding branches and rocks hurled at the two wolf demons.
Well when there's one witch, another has to be right around the other.
The two much frazzled wolf demons jumped off to the trees, eyes going the size of saucers when they spotted Kanna with her little soul-catching mirror.
They were especially frightened when they looked into those cool killer eyes of hers...well blank black eyes really...and discovered that a misty little fog was creeping up on them.
Hakkaku did the first thing that came to mind...He threw a rock at her.
It flew toward the little white haired girl and cracked her mirror.
Ginta and Kanna looked at the blinking wolf demon in shock...
Well...Ginta was...However close you can get to Kanna having the same facial expression but counted as shock given the situation.
"You have got to be kidding me." Kagura floated toward them on her awesomely ultra huge feather of doom.
Ginta and Hakkaku gave each other a brief glance...and ran for their ever loving lives.
Thus, we have said situation of relief.
"OY! Ginta! Hakkaku! You lazy curds! What are you doing down there lying on your asses?" The wolf demon on guard yelled at them.
They hadn't even noticed they were home.
This was going to be a long explanation.
"And where's Kouga?"
And then an even longer explanation.
How were they to survive this...?
"I am so dead...or screwed...well not that I'd mind the screwing...Shit!" Kagome dodged through the woods.
Oh yes, why the woods?
Because that damn wolf prince was blocking the entrance of her house!
Where else could a girl run to?
Damn the cliché horror film plot.
Just replace horror...with horny...and we're good.
Kagome then sensed a pair of Shikon Shards speed toward her.
Oh hell….oh hell, oh hell, oh hell!
She just kept on running…she didn't know why exactly…except not to get laid that is.
Kouga reached out to grasp Kagome's waist, a hair's breath away when she sidestepped and stopped suddenly.
It took the wolf prince a few moments to stop his high speeded run, and he had to double back quite a few feet.
Kouga was surprised even further when his love, his mate started to walk toward him.
"You know, all of this time I've been running from you, and you've gotten to have all of the fun…" Kagome grinned devilishly, a grin to rival Kouga's own. "Well now it's my turn wolf boy."
Kagome brought her hand around Kouga's neck and pulled him lips onto hers, and then pushed him back.
The wolf stumbled back a few steps, eyes widened, mouth slightly ajar.
Holy Hell.
His woman was one damn feisty woman!
Her black ponytail shifted in the now early morning breeze, scattering her bangs around her face and into her eyes. She lifted a hand idly to sweep them away, giving one last glance into Kouga's eyes; her own shone a mischievous light before she quickly darted to her left.
Back toward the house.
And as soon as he started to run, she doubled back, this time bringing him to the ground. She had caught him off guard again!
Not that this wolf would be daunted. He was the leader of his tribe!
Kouga flipped Kagome over onto her back, taking the initiative so to speak.
Not that that lasted very long.
The two proclaimed mates fought for dominance with one another, but Kouga; being the stronger one (Kagome will always say it was because of those blasted shards) finally won.
That morning they delved into each other: Body, Mind, and Soul.
Once the sun shone brightly on their sweat layered skin, the two awoke in a satisfied consciousness.
"Mmm, do you think they're looking for us?" Kouga looked down at his beautiful mate, lips swollen from his kisses, and her gaze half lidded from content exhaustion.
"Perhaps they are…" The wolf prince mused, running his fingers lightly down her side, finally resting upon her hip as they lay together on the forest floor.
Sighing, Kagome nuzzled her head into Kouga's shoulder and in his hair; hiding herself from the bright mid-morning almost noon sun.
Kouga lowered his lips to the top of her head in a chaste loving kiss and continued to stroke her hair with one hand and her hip with the other…
"Ano…you see…Kouga isn't exactly here…but he is." Hakkaku tried to explain to a few wolves a few dozen times.
"He's mating with Kagome-nee-san!" Ginta chipped in, trying to help Hakkaku out. This would surely brighten the pack up, considering Kagome was a very powerful miko and a sweet and pretty one to boot.
"…"
While most of the pack cheered on, a few wolves turned their heads and started to whisper amongst themselves with none-too-happy looks upon their faces…

Shoot me. I know. I deserve it. It's been a month!
A month!
I love this story to death. As well as Taking So Much! And that one hasn't been updated for nearly two months!
And I love all of you reviewers to death!
Thank you so much for your support!
School has been keeping me pretty busy, and work too. I work from 19 – 25 hours a week, and have 5 AP classes. Math is my only regular class, but since I suck at math it's just as hard for me. Thankfully three of my AP classes are a breeze :D
And one of these days, hopefully very soon! I shall put up the lemon on AFF. Once I get it written that is…but there you go…my puny lemon…it doesn't even deserve to be called a lemon.
Lemonette.
There we go.
But I hope that you liked it nonetheless.
Thank you all my lovely reviewers! If I get to 140 reviews I'll give you a far better lemon…and we aren't just talking Kouga/Kagome too ;D How about some Sango/Miroku action, ne? Haven't seen them in a while have we?
Neither Kikyo nor InuYasha…since like the first chapter… -sweat-drop-
I'll get to it!
And expect an update of TSM in no longer than a week and a half!
More than likely this weekend
