Chapter Four:

Independent Meetings
�Kagome! Kagome! Help!
Inu-Yasha�s acting weird!�
Shippo cried as he scampered the remaining feet to leap into Kagome�s
arms.
Aforementioned hanyou appeared a few moments later, a
saddened look on his face. When he saw
Kagome, he offered a weak smile.
�Is something wrong, Inu-Yasha?� Kagome asked.
He looked up at her, his gaze changing from molten gold to a
guarded soft bronze.
�No,� he lied quickly, �I was just walkin�.�
�Inu-Yasha doesn�t just walk for no reason,� Kagome
thought, suspicions coming into her head, �something�s wrong.�
�See, Kagome?
See? I told you!� Shippo exclaimed, pointing at Inu-Yasha from
the safety of Kagome�s embrace.
Inu-Yasha quirked an eyebrow at the young kit, �What�re you
talkin� about?�
Deciding this was her time to step in, Kagome chimed in,
�Never mind, Inu-Yasha. Why don�t we go
see if we can find Kaede? I haven�t
seen her since we got here.�
�Speaking of not seeing Kaede-sama,� Miroku began as he
walked up to them, �has anyone seen Tora around? He and I were supposed to meet and talk about certain... issues.�
As though on queue, the jade-eyed tiger came out from the
trees, a grin plastered on his face. It
widened as he approached Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku.
�Where�ve you been, Tora?�
Kagome asked.
He gave her an innocent look, �Just walking around the
forest.�
�Is that everyone�s excuse now?� Kagome
thought, �Have you seen Kaede anywhere?�
The grin vanished from young Tora�s face, being replaced by a
serious look, �Hai, Kagome-san, I have seen her, but she doesn�t want to
be disturbed unless she calls you in.
Spe>Speaking of which, Kaede-sama wants to see Miroku-san and Sango-san if
you guys have a minute or two.�
The exterminator and monk exchanged looks.
�She wants to see us?�
They asked.
�Hai,� Tora replied, turning to go back towards the forest, a
smug grin on his face, �Inu-Yasha, Kagome-san, and Shippo-chan are all supposed
to stay out, �ya hear?�
The three nodded, watching as their friends disappeared into the
forest, wondering what Kaede could be up to.
Shrugging and walking towards Kaede�s unoccupied hut, neither
hanyou, miko, nor kitsune heard a rumbling coming from a distance.
The wind picked up a little, then died down as soon as it had
begun.

After traveling what seemed like forever, Kouga stopped on
the outskirts of their destination, setting down a still-sleeping Venita. He shook her shoulder gently.
�Koishii, it�s time to get up,� she groaned, batting away his
hand as though it were an annoying bug; he sighed, knowing he would have to do
this the hard way, �If you don�t get up, I�ll have to tell Inu-Yasha and Kagome
that you would rather sleep than visit them.�
Venita�s eyes snapped open in an instant, and Kouga watched
as she sat up just as quickly, �No, you won�t.�
He couldn�t help but laugh, �I�m sorry, Koishii, but I had
to do it.�
His mate growled mockingly, �One of these days, I�m going to
hurt you.�
Chuckling once more, Kouga helped her up, walking with her
hand-in-hand into the village. They
watched as a few villagers bowed to them, undoubtedly remembering them from
when Kagome had banished her own friend, back then Leota, for an occupation
that had not been her own choice.
Keeping their senses open to anything that may be out of the ordinary,
Kouga and Venita saw Kagome, Inu-Yasha, and Shippo headed towards Kaede�s hut.
Venita stopped, her mind whirling as though she had been spun
around in a few hundred circles. Kouga
stopped as well, looking back at his mate with concern.
�Are you all right, Koishii?� He asked.
�Kouga-kun,� Venita began a little uncharacteristically
shaky, �you do realize that I haven�t seen Kagome-san since I became.... well, me? You do realize that, don�t you?�
He smiled warmly as he gave her a hug just as warm as his
smile, �I�m sure you two will work things out as you always have. Everything will be fine, Venita-chan. If things get rough, I�ll help pull you out
of there.�
She looked up at him like a small child that had lost her
way, �You promise?�
He smiled, �I�ll promise you that if you translate for me
what you said a few days ago.�
Venita cocked her head in confusion, �Pardon?�
�On the day that we mated, you said something in your
language, and you never translated it for me.
I�ll promise to get you out of any trouble with Kagome if you tell me
what you said.�
�Oh, you mean when I said, �Os Fer shentin Ferna vort os Bre
wer amt es. Jai berin su tao, et tao su
mer. So derla des Reln de ta Kilde de
Lunia�?�
Kouga nodded, �That�s right.
What does it mean?�
She thought for a moment, for translating from her own
language to Japanese was not Usu-Venita�s strong point.
�It translates to: �One�s heart recognizes love before one�s
mind will admit it. I belong to you and
you to me. So declare the Rules of the
Children of Lunia�. And the Children of
Lunia is what we wolves of the Inside call ourselves, for we believe that if
one follows the Rules of Lunia, then we shall be placed at the right hand of
the Goddess.�
Kouga nodded, �All right, then I give you my promise to aid
you if push comes to shove.�
Venita smiled, �Thank you, Koishii, that means a lot to me.�
It was Kouga�s turn to smile as he put his arm around his
love�s shoulders, �Well that�s because you mean a lot to me, my
Fire Wolf.�
This caused Venita to giggle, a sign to Kouga that it was all
right if he resumed their walk towards Kaede�s hut, where their three �targets�
had already sat around sti still-burning fire.
Kouga knocked on the frame to the side of the mat that
covered the door.
�Who is it?� Kagome�s
voice asked from inside.
Venita�s throat seemed to freeze, for she could not
speak. Instead, she merely knocked once
more.
�Whaddya want?� Came
Inu-Yasha�s whining voice.
�You gonna open up or what?�
Kouga asked, his arm still around Venita�s shoulders.
Scrambling came from inside the hut and Kagome greeted them
at the mat. For some reason, Venita had
broken free of Kouga�s grasp and slipped behind him, hiding from Kagome�s
searching brown eyes.
�Hi Kouga-kun.� She
greeted, a bright smile on her face.
A lumblumbling came from behind Kouga, so low that it
appeared only he could hear it.
�Venita-chan must still be experiencing the possessive
behavior that takes place after mating,� Kouga thought, the rumbling
growing dangerously close to becoming loud enough for Kagome to hear, �It�s
good to see you too, Kagome-san.�
Venita�s growling died down a little, but Kouga knew it would
start again if anything else of the sort happened.
�Hey Kouga?� Shippo
asked, taking a few steps forward.
�Hai?�
�Did Venita-sama come with you?�
Silence and tension followed Shippo�s question, and all
present shifted when Kouga didn�t answer immediately, his eyes averted from
them and looking at the fire instead.
As Kagome, Inu-Yasha, and Shippo watched, their hopes
plummeting with each passing moment, a small, tanned, delicate hand with
inch-long claws appeared on Kouga�s shoulder.
The small hand squeezed his shoulder lightly, pulling him back so the
owner could step beside him, just visible in the doorway.
Shippo�s eyes widened as he watched the white-haired woman
step forward, her deep blue eyes glowing in the firelight. Kagome stepped back a few steps, and
Inu-Yasha stood from his place by the fire.
Kouga grew bold and put an arm around Venita�s waist, a small clicking
sounding in his brain.
�Then again, it seems I�m still experiencing the
possessive behavior.� Kouga
thought, trying very hard to hide an amused smile at his small discovery.
Taking a few brave steps forward, Shippo looked up at Venita,
who still wore an old pair of jeans that she�d brought with her after Kagome
had brought her back after banishing her.
Her top having mysteriously disappeared a few days ago during her and
Kouga�s... escapade, Venita had been running around in a black sports bra that
had also been brought back with her.
�Venita-sama?� Shippo
asked, his voice holding a large amount of awe within it.
Cobalt eyes softening, Venita nodded, �Hai.�
�I don�t care what kind of blood you have; I�m just
glad you�re back!� He exclaimed, holding
onto Venita�s neck as thoug wer were the only thing keeping him in reality.
Shippo�s statement warmed Venita�s heart and she placed a
hand on his back to let him know that she was there for him. He released her neck and smiled at her, eyes
brimmed with tears he would not allow to fall.
Venita raised her eyes to Inu-Yasha, who nodded behind Kagome�s
back. That�s when Venita�s gaze fell on
Kagome, who wore a blank expression.
Eyes of sapphire searched eyes of garnet, and it seemed that
both of them would never speak to each other, for they both now had blank
expressions. Shippo, who seemed to be
the smartest of them all, hopped onto the floor with a hopeful look on his
innocent face.
Venita nodded in Kagome�s direction, �Higurashi,
Kagome-sama.�
Kagome returned the nod, �Usu-Venita-sama.�
Kouga, Inu-Yasha, and Shippo could only watch as human woman
looked to demon woman. Their faces were
void of all emotion, their eyes holding different tones and levels of feeling.
The brown eyes of Higurashi, Kagome held confusion, anger,
and questions.
Inu-Yasha looked at the more attractive reincarnation of his
previous love, Kikyo. Some called her
�the copy� of Kikyo. Though sometimes
calling Kagome that in the heat of an argument, along with shard detector,
Inu-Yasha never meant it. He merely
wished to see the fire in her eyes.
But he never expected to see a wildfire headed straight
towards him.
If he ever forced himself to admit it, Inu-Yasha would have
to say that he preferred Kagome to Kikyo any day. But then that got him thinking about the promise he�d made to his
first love.
�Quit thinking about it, Moron!� His mind yelled,
using Venita�s voice for some odd reason, and then switching back to his own, �It�s
really nice to see Venita-sama again.
Shippo and Lunia are right: she is the same as she was. Being mean and creepy is all an act.�
Kouga was beginning to not like the way Inu-Yasha was looking
at his woman. He locked eyes with the
hanyou and shook his head, stepping closer to Venita and wrapping his arms
around her waist. In turn, Inu-Yasha
returned the nod, glancing over at Kagome with a small possessive glint in his
eyes.
Kagome, whom was oblivious to what had happened behind her
back, was touched that Kouga was now resting his cheek against Venita�s neck. Though not knowing why the act was
done, Kagome did know that she wished Inu-Yasha would put his hands on
her shoulders like when Venita had first been released.
�How have you been, Kagome-sama?� Venita asked, her eyes swirling the emotions of trust, sadness,
and most importantly: answers.
�Fine, and you?�
Kagome replied, seemingly forcing the words past her throat.
�Better now that I have returned to the place I first saw in
this world,� Venita said, looking past the near-trembling miko to Inu-Yasha,
�how have you been, Inu-Yasha-san?�
�Feh.�
This caused Venita to smile, �Same as ever I see.�
Kagome looked ready to say something, for she was shifting
nervously, �Venita-sama?�
Venita�s blue eyes were wide like an innocent child�s when
she turned to look at Kagome, �Hai?�
�C-Could you come with me for a minute?�
�What do you need?�
�I just need to talk to you about something.�
�Well if that is all you need, the please call me
Venia-chan. Got it?� Venita demanded, feeling proud of herself for
suggesting the name change first.
�All right... Venia-chan,� Kagome said shakily, �then call me
K-chan.�
Both girls nodded, large grins on their faces. Venita turned in Kouga�s arms, giving him a
kiss on the cheek and a smile. When he
returned the smile, Venita turned to Kagome.
�Ready to go, K-chan?�
�Hai!�
�Can I come with you guys?
Inu-Yasha�s still acting weird.�
Shippo asked, his green eyes in �pleading mode�.
�Of course you can, Shippo-chan,� Kagome smiled, �and if you
don�t mind, Venia-chan, I�d like it if Kouga-san came, too.�
Venita�s mind began going into overdrive.
�What could K-chan want to talk about with Kouga-kun and
I? What�s going on around here?�
�Venia-chan?� Kagome asked, concern in her voice, �Do you
mind if Kouga-san comes?�
�No, of course I don�t.
I�m just wondering what you want to talk about.�
�Just a few...things.
We�ve talked about it before, and I just wanted another point of view
from Kouga-san�s perspective.�
�All right,� Venita said, �where are we headed off to?�
�That hot spring that you and Sango-san ganged up on me.�
Venita smiled at the memory, �By the way, where are
Sango-san, Kaede-sama, and Miroku-sama?�
�They�re having a meeting about something. Tora�s with them, too.�
�Uh-oh... if Tora�s with them, they just might
be plotting the very thing I�ve promised to do! They must be scheming a way to bring K-chan and Inu-Yasha
together!�
Venita felt like dancing and howling at a moon that was not
yet visible. If that was what they were
talking about in their secret meeting, Venita wanted in on it as soon as
possible, for she had some pretty tricky things up her sleeves. Even Naraku would be jealous of her tricks,
and that was saying something.
She learned from the best, after all. Lunia was such a great teacher.

A/N: Woohoo! I�m done with this
