The next few weeks were a whirlwind for Kagome. Thankfully, summertime had come and she needn’t worry about school. This was a really good thing for Koga rarely let her out of his site.
All the same, Kagome had never had a man treat her the way Koga did. Sure, she was used to the constant concern over her welfare, but he was also very much the gentleman. He even took her out shopping!
He didn’t have a car of his own because he loved his motorcycle, so he bought one to drive around in with Kagome. It was a nice car, too, one of those Porsches. He even had it custom painted so the sides of it were decorated with running wolves.
When they went shopping, he made certain to hit all the high end shops and the mall. He took her out to all types of restaurants, too. She had never eaten such a variety of food.
He tried to teach her how to drive a bike, but that was where she drew the line. While she didn’t mind riding with him, she absolutely refused to steer it. That didn’t matter to Koga, however. He took her to the raceway every weekend and she became fast friends with the girls there. (Turns out, Koga and Ryuu were best buds and were always jeering at one another.)
Today, Kagome was standing in Koga’s kitchen by the stove. She had offered to cook him a meal and he wasn’t the type to turn her down. She was using the spatula to roll an omelet out of the frying pan and onto a plate when Koga wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He kissed her gently on the shoulder, causing her to smile.
“There’s something I wish to talk to you about,” he whispered as he nuzzled her ear.
“Hm,” was her reply as she put the pan back onto the stove. “Well, lunch is ready. So, if you’d like, we can talk while we eat.”
He nodded as he followed her to the small breakfast table. He sat down and watched as she put a plate of food in front of him and another in front of the spot she was going to sit. He waited patiently as she sat down and lifted her chopsticks. He only started eating when she began.
“I spoke to your mother,” he told her matter-of-factly.
Kagome froze. Oh, no! He’s going to ask me to marry him! What am I going to tell him? “What did the two of you talk about?” she asked nervously, though she already knew.
“Well, I figured I would talk to her before I asked you anything,” he said before taking a pull of his Ramune. “She kind of liked the idea: Said it would be a good experience for you.”
“A good…” Kagome choked on her food.
Koga was instantly on his feet and patting her back as she coughed. With tears in her eyes, Kagome managed to cough out, “Why would it be a good experience for me?”
He glanced at her in confusion. Once he was certain she was all right, he went back to his seat. “Tomorrow, she’s going to take you to the post office to get your passport and make sure you’re up to date on everything,” he told her. “I would like it if you came with me to see the property in the States.”
Her eyes widened. A small part of her was saddened that he hadn’t popped the question, but a larger part was surprised that he was giving her this opportunity. “You want me to go to the Americas with you?” she asked.
At his nod, she became excited. Kagome jumped from her chair and threw her arms around his neck. Koga smirked. “I’ll take that as a yes?”
“Yes!” she shouted. “Of course, yes!”
She had never been outside of Japan before and she was quick to tell Koga. Instantly, she spoke of the different things she wished to see there and, “Could you take me to the Hollywood sign? What about the Lincoln Memorial? Could we go to Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty?”
Koga chuckled. “Have you ever seen a map of the United States?” he inquired as he wiped a tear from his eye.
Kagome stopped in mid-sentence and looked at him curiously. “I have,” she replied.
He nodded. “Then you should know that these places you speak of are scattered around the country, some on opposite ends of the others,” he explained. “We’d have to take much more time than we have just to see the things you wish to see.”
“Oh,” she said, crestfallen.
He lifted her chin with his finger so she could look into his eyes. “Don’t worry, babe,” he said. “We can make several trips, if you’d like. This trip is just so I can check on my land and the house that’s being built on it.”
She gave him a small smile. “Will we get to see anything?” she asked.
His eyebrows furrowed momentarily as he thought about it. “Not sure there are any monuments in Idaho for us to see,” he stated honestly. “There’s a ski resort in Northern Idaho, but I don’t know of any monuments. I think the closest is Little Bighorn, but that’s in the eastern area of Montana. There’s Yellowstone National Park as well, but it, too, is in Montana.”
Kagome thought it over for a moment. It really wasn’t fair of her to ask him about monuments or anything. The fact that he wanted to her go at all should be enough for her. She nodded in understanding. “It’s ok. I would love to see the land you bought and the house you are having built there.”
He smirked. “Who knows, maybe you’ll even get to see someone you know there.”
She was confused by his words and when she said so, he just smiled and shrugged. “I suppose you’ll just have to wait and see,” he told her.

Regardless of how many times Koga suggested she sleep, Kagome just couldn’t bring herself to. They had landed in Spokane, Washington, and Koga had rented a car for the drive to the property. Kagome pointed out everything that was interesting and surreal to her.
To her pleasure, Koga had bought her a new digital camera, so Kagome spent most of her time taking pictures. There were so many things and she didn’t know where to point her camera next.
“You’d think you never saw a mountain before,” Koga commented as she snapped at least a dozen pictures of the mountains.
She shrugged. “I’ve never seen these mountains before,” she pointed out. “Aren’t they beautiful? Look at how they’re still snow capped!”
He just chuckled as he began his trek up one of the mountains she spoke of. The road was winding and long, but he made it to the property without any trouble. Kagome was still snapping pictures when he pulled up to a large half built mansion.
She gasped in amazement as she opened the car door and stepped outside. “It’s huge!” she commented before taking a picture of the house.
He nodded. “It’s not finished yet,” he told her. “We’re thinking sometime next June it should be ready.”
A young man walked out of the mansion with a clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other. Kagome could immediately sense his demonic aura as he approached. The man had long, reddish brown hair and blue eyes. He wore the typical jeans and shirt of a worker, though his hard hat was hanging from his arm. He was well built and carried himself confidently.
“Koga,” the man said in Japanese, he had a high pitched voice that belied his strong build, “the boys wanna know if you’re sure about the layout of this kitchen. They said it would be better if the sink were closer to the refrigerator.”
Koga shook his head. “No,” he answered. “I want the sink where I want it.”
The man nodded and began to turn around when Koga stopped him. “Don’t you wanna say hi to my fiancée?”
The moment the man glanced up, he froze. His eyes widened as he gazed at Kagome and his mouth dropped. Kagome looked at him curiously. “Hello,” she said, offering her hand to him. “I’m Higurashi Kagome.”
He nodded. “I know who you are,” he told her as he shook his head to clear the fuzziness from his brain. “You don’t recognize me, do you? I’ve gotten a lot bigger the past few years, haven’t I?”
Kagome stared at the man. While she had to admit he looked familiar, she just could not place him. It was his eyes that looked the most familiar. She gazed into those blue eyes for a moment before her memory clicked. “Shippo?”
At his nod, she threw her arms around him and laughed. “Oh, Shippo!” she exclaimed, hugging him tightly. “I’ve missed you so much!”
He laughed. “I’ve missed you, too! How have you been? We were worried when you didn’t return to us. Inuyasha…”
“Where is he?” she asked, interrupting him. “Koga said they hadn’t spoken since I left.”
Shippo shrugged. “I’m not surprised. You know they never did like each other much,” he said. He glanced up at the sky as he thought for a moment. “I think the last time I saw Inuyasha was at the Mardi Gras festival in New Orleans. That must have been… 5 years ago, I think?”
Kagome gasped. “He’s still alive?” she inquired with abated breath.
The fox demon nodded as he scrunched up his nose. “He’s pretty old now, though,” he pointed out. “Half-demons don’t live as long as we demons do, so it’s not surprising that he’s aged so quickly.”
“Humans age faster,” the miko said with a huff.
“True,” he conceded. “But I still wouldn’t recommend seeking him out. You might give him a heart attack.”
Kagome sighed. “I can’t not see him. I wouldn’t doubt it if he felt I’ve abandoned him,” she stated sadly.
“Besides,” Shippo continued as though he hadn’t heard Kagome, “you have Koga now. From the looks of it, he treats you a lot better than Inuyasha ever did. I’m not trying to play favourites, but there isn’t much Inuyasha can do for you anymore.”
“But…”
“I’m not trying to be mean, Kagome,” the fox demon said as he gazed at her seriously. “I just want what’s best for you. I just don’t think Inuyasha is it. Especially now.”
