WAHHHHHH! WAHHHWAHHHWAHHHHH! I still can't believe my story got erased. Inappropriate content nothing! How do they know it wasn't a...er...shampoo bottle Kagome was holding? Ah well. That story was going nowhere. It was going to end with Kouga and Kagome having sex and the mutt dying an inexplicable (and painful) death.

So.New story. I don't feel like explaining it, and I definitely don't feel like telling you how it ends. THAT WOULD BE STUPID! I will tell you, however, that this story will have a lemon but NOT on ff net. I'll post it elsewhere and tell you when the time comes.

GET ON WITH IT!

DISCLAIMER:I now own one less thing than Inuyasha (not the mutt. the show). My story! But the point here is that I Don't own Inuyasha, affiliated characters, or-most importantly-Kouga the fantastically sexy.

Chapter One: While the dog's away the wolf will play

Another painfully average day in the life of the Inu gang.

Miroku was rubbing his head from a painfully average large bump, caused by a painfully average strike from an frustratedly average Sango, after a comfortably avergage grope.

Inuyasha and KAgome were having an annoyingly average fight about the averagely dead Kikyou (who was causing problems from beyond the grave), while Shippou made his average (and annoying) commentary and got a painfully average and well deserved thump.

But I'm sure this rant is averagely boring, so I'll do this from a less lecture-ish point of view.

"SIT! Inuyasha, when will you get over it? Kikyou is dead, alright? I thought we had reached some sort of conclusion about that!"

Inuyasha struggled up from the ground. "I'm tellin ya, wench, that I heard a rumor about her in the village we just passed!"

"It's nothing, I'm sure. No one could survive a fall that high into a river that deadly. OW!" Commented (and squealed) Shippou.

"SIT! Inuyasha, how many times do I have to tell you to be nice to SHippou? And another thing! Remember the last rumor? You nearly got me posessed by some freaky baby!"

"But Kagome! This one is true, I'm sure of it! the entire village agreed with it, it wasn't just some old geezer!"

"SIT, and no!"

Inuyasha growled.

Meanwhile, wherever the hell Kouga is...

Kouga stopped running. 'Damn, where's Naraku's scent? His barrier must be up again.' He sniffed deeply. 'It was only down for a second. I wonder what that was about?'

He looked around for some sign of his packmates, but they were nowhere in sight. 'May as well get a quick nap while I wait for those two.' Kouga leaned against a tree, removed his armor ('I can never get to sleep in this stuff. Also, the author likes this image.'), and closed his eyes.

Ginta and HAkkaku caught up a few minutes later, panting heavily. "Where is he?" Squawked HAkkaku. "His scent ends here."

"There he is," Ginta gasped. "By that tree. Hey Kou-" HAkkaku covered Ginta's mouth with a hand. "He's asleep."

"WHAT!" He makes us run all this time without a break and he's sleeping?"

"Oh, quit whining and sleep, idiot. We don't get this chace often." He slipped down on another tree and closed his eyes.

"Good point," Ginta sat on the same tree and went to sleep.

Naturally, a few seconds later, Kouga woke. "YOU SLACKERS! GET UP!"

"Oh! Kouga!" They cried in unison.

"What are you doing asleep?"

"But you were-"

Kouga swelled with anger (fake anger, as it happened. he just liked giving his friends a hard time), but before he could say somrthing really crushing to his quaking pack mates, he caught a whiff of a very special scent. "Kagome," he sighed whistfully.

Ginta and Hakkaku sighed as well. They were spared! Their joy didn't last, as Kouga once again took off at full speed.

Meanwhile...back with the mutt...

"Please, Kagome? Just give me a few days! I'll be back!"

"SIT! NO!"

'Damn it, whatever happened to her just becoming all hollow and dead when it came to Kikyou? I liked it better that way.'

"I HEARD THAT! SITSITSIT!"

"DAMN IT, WENCH! HOW COULD YOU HAVE HEARD THAT?"

"YOU SAID IT OUT LOUD!" She rounded on the rest of the gang, towering and wreathed in flames. "DIDN'T HE?"

"Actually, Lady Kagome-" Attempted Miroku.

"ACTUALLY WHAT?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Sango stepped forward. "Kagome...Inuyasha didn't say anything."

Kagome settled back to normal. "Really? Am I hearing things?"

"Maybe you're reading his mind?"

"Hmmmm...Kagome stared into Inuyasha's eyes as she had been when she heard the last throught. 'KikyouKikyouKikyouBloodBloodKikyouBoobsKikyouKikyouSexSexSexKikyouKikyouSexwithKikyouKAaomeKikyouYura...'

"YURA!"

Inuyasha cowered."Um...I thought that just to throw...you...off?

Kagome, being a sap, bought it. Fine. And the perverted/violent stuff I can over look becuase you're a teenage boy.. But what's with all the Kikyous?"

"It's the rumors, KAgome. Let me go check them out. Then, belive me, all thoughts of her will be gone." He said. "Unless she's alive," He mumbled very quietly.

"What was that last part?"

"nothing."

Kagome pulled a fake tinking face "Hmmmmm...No. We need a demon to help us fight."

Inuyasha was about to say something really crushing when he caught a familiar scent. He growled.

Kagome blinked. "I sense Kouga,headed this way."

Suddenly, in a burst of intelligence imbued for the first and last time ever, Inuyasha had an idea.

"Hey, Kagome," chirped Kouga, wrapping her hands in his. "Hope you're well?"

"Kouga!" Kagome said happily. "I haven't seen you in a while."

"It's been too long," He sighed, dropping her hands and instead starting to wrap an arm around her waist. Kagome moved his atrm to her shoulder.

Kouga grinned nevertheless. Before he could say somehting sweet and romantic, Inuyasha interrupted.

"Kagome! How about I let Kouga watch you while I'm gone?"

"Huh?" Everyone, including Kouga, gasped at this.

"Yeah! I can go see Kikyou, and you can stay here with the wolf! He's got the Goraishi, he can protect you with that!" A/N: If you don't know what that is, it's this really awesome weapon Kouga has in the never-turned0into-an-episode manga

"Well..." Kagome, ordinarily, would have protested, but at the moment she really wanted Inuyasha gone and besides, who knew when she could get to see Kouga again? She may not return his feelings entirely, but he was still a good friend, and she didn't get to see him often. "...ok."

Everyone, including Inuyasha, gasped. "Well...okay.

AND SO IT BEGINS! MUAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Stay tuned for more badly typed, sexy fun!
