Chapter 4: Meeting the Wolves
Kagome awoke first the next morning and was surprisingly warm. She opened her eyes to see Koga's face and feel his warm breath. She smiled softly, running her finger over his cheek. He looked so sweet when he was asleep.
Koga didn't have to open his eyes to feel Kagome feeling his face. A sly smile came across his face and he peaked at her. "Good morning, love."
She blushed and looked away. "Morning," she said softly, trying to sit up, but Koga kept her still.
"Now now, what's the rush?" he said, almost seductively. "You seem to be interested in my face."
She blushed harder, but gave a nod, unable to look him in the eye.
"Why don't you take a closer look?" he whispered, leaning up to her face.
Her eyes widened a bit, then softened smoothly. Her hands found his neck and she smiled softly. "Hmm… I think I need to check your lips, to make sure they aren't too soft…" She grazed her lips over his, holding back a smirk. "No, I think they're alright," she told him, leaning up away from him.
"Oh really?" He pulled her back down. "I think I need to make sure yours don't taste too sweet…"
She blushed again, but didn't pull away. Koga gently pressed his lips to hers, taking in her taste. His mind went crazy with emotions, but mainly lust. His demon wanted her, and now. He fought it, keeping his kiss soft and seductive. He needed to see if this is what she wanted.
Kagome wasn't complaining; she wanted to know if it would work out. When she felt tingling in her lips, she knew he was right. She intertwined her fingers in his hair and leaned in farther.
This surprised Koga, but when she was kissing him back, and harder, his demon side went nuts. He couldn't stand it. He pulled away, pushing her hands off.
She was shocked for a moment, then her mind processed it. She sighed. "I'm sorry Koga. I was going too fast. I didn't mean-"
He cut her off. "No, Kagome. It's my fault. My demon was going nuts; I would have gone too far if I continued. I just need some time to get used to this. You understand, right?"
She smiled. "Of course I do, Koga. Let's get going if we want to get their by dinner time."
He untangled himself from her and started helping her get packed. Once they were set, the whirlwind was off.
Kagome was pretty content on Koga's back. She didn't mind the silence; it wasn't overbearing or anything. She started to get a little sleep and dozed a bit on his shoulder.
Koga felt Kagome lean against him more and felt her breathing in his ear. He gave a small smile and slowed just a bit. He was close, but didn't want to wake up Kagome. He heard Ginta and Hakaku calling him and waved his hand at them.
He slowed more as he came closer to the cave and let the boys see Kagome. "Koga, why do you have Kagome?" Ginta asked a bit too loud.
"Shh! I'll explain once I put her down," Koga replied in a whisper, glaring at the wolf.
He gave a quick, sharp nod as Koga walked into his part of the cave. He set Kagome on his furry bed and put her bag next to her. He kissed her forehead before returning to his comrades.
"So, Koga, how did you score Kagome?" Hakaku asked, winking at him.
"Speak with more respect when you talk about her," Koga spat, giving him a growl.
"Oh, s-sorry. Why is she with you now?" he said, trying to regain some composer.
The wolf prince started explaining what happened before hearing the sound of footsteps. Kagome's sleepy form came into view, rubbing her eyes. Koga smiled charmingly. "Did you have a nice nap, love?"
She blushed at this, but gave a nod as she sat down next to him. Koga wrapped his arm around her shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Are you hungry, Kagome?"
Kagome didn't move away from Koga; in fact she was a little cold. "Yeah. I guess it is dinner time."
Koga looked at the other two and they got what he was saying. "We'll go hunting for you, Kagome," they said in unison.
"Oh. Thank you. After dinner, I have a surprise for you then," she said with a smile. "You'll like it."
The two gave a nod before starting down the cliff to find dinner. Kagome shivered a bit and snuggled closer to Kagome.
"Cold?" Koga asked, wrapping the other arm around her.
"A bit. Oh, wait a second." She jumped out of his arms and ran into Koga's cave. She came back wearing a black sweatshirt. "Much better," she said, settling into his arms. She really didn't need the warmth, but it felt nice.
Koga placed his cheek on his head, enjoying every second of it.
Soon the boys returned with a wild boar. They started a fire and roasted it to perfection. They chowed down; thought Kagome was still the last one eating.
After cleaning up and getting more fire wood, Kagome pulled out her surprise: Pocky. She gave them each a piece to try and Ginta didn't seem to like it. The other two asked for more. 2 more pieces each and that was it.
They sat around the fire, talking and laughing like old friends. Soon it grew dark and they put out the fire. The two boys curled up in their beds and Koga lead Kagome to his room. He changed into something more comfortable then left to let her change. She dug though her bed before finding PJs. She put her old clothes on the top of the bag for tomorrow and called Koga back in.
He lay down on his bed and smiled at Kagome. "Come, my dead. This pile of fluff is very comfortable."
With a giggle, Kagome crawled next to him, snuggling into the furs. "Hmm… you're right." Koga wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. Kagome brought her head this is and kissed him very softly.
He was a little taken back at first, but then fell into it. His hands rubbed her back softly, trying not to get too low. He didn't want to get himself too excited.
Both of their eyes closed as the kiss was kept soft and simple. That's all it needed to be… for now. In a few days that might change though.
Kagome was the one to break it. "We should get to sleep," she whispered to him, laying her head on his shoulder.
He took a deep breath of her sent and agreed. "Good night, my little Kagome. Sweet dreams."
"Good night, Koga. Kisses and cuddles," Kagome replied, snuggling up to him.
He smiled more before kissing her head and falling asleep.
