Angel's pov....

We were headed to Mount Hakurei to investigate since Naraku was m.i.a. and everyone was feeling tired as it was late.
I was up a tree picking cherries, and eating some as i picked cause they were good and sweet and its fun to spit the pits as I'd gone looking for some extra food. The others were at camp Kagome cooking, Inuyasha whining, Miroku trying to be a pervert. I needed a break. Gosh I missed Koga.

I turned to look when I heard splashing and sat as I watched a younger Ginta and Hakkuku try to fish below me. "Want some help boys?", I ask startling them causing them to fall in the water making me chuckle.

"Why would we want help from some human?", Ginta says.

"Ya we can get it ourselves.", Hakkuku says as I roll my eyes.

"Cause your hungry, and your probably fishin for more than yourself, an a third set of hands may improve your odds.", I say climbing down with my berries.

"Hey you smell like you've been hanging with Inuyasha and Kagome. You also smell like Koga.", Hakkuku says making my heart flutter.

"Well that's cause I'm traveling with them. I'm Angel, Kagome's cousin. I came through the well too.", I say as I sit down and start undoing my hiking boots.

" I'm Ginta and this is Hakkuku. ", Ginta says pointing at his comrad.

"Sorry we didn't know you were travelling the with the bosses mate Kagome.", Hakkuku says.

"Well glad ta meetcha boys, no worries, so how much ya need to catch?", I ask wading into the water.

" Enough for us, our leader and four wolves.", Hakkuku says as I watch the fishes as I tie up my hair.

"Then we better get to it.", I say catching my first and tossing it on the shore.

We keep fishing with me getting the most since I'm better at it. Eventually we're back to the shore and I see a tornado approach followed by 4 wolves.

"See ya guys had some luck for a change with the fish.", says Koga when his tornado stops. And my eyes rake over the younger form of my best friend, crush and the guy who just stole my first kiss.

"Well Kagome's cousin helped and we got a lot more.", Ginta says.

'Her cousin.", he says as the wolves sniff me and I crouch to pet them and coo at them.

"Her.", Hakkuku says pointing at me getting licked by wolves making me giggle as they playfully knock me over.

Before I know it strong arms yank me out of the dog pile and I'm facing a familiar pair of blue eyes, "Come on fellas give the pretty lady some space.", says Koga chuckling his grip now on me and my face as red as can be. Gosh his arm muscles are just as big in the past.


"You know you smell really good for a human.", says the younger version of my best friend and the guy who holds my heart.
"So your Kagome's cousin." as he sets me down then looks me over.

"Yup, Angel Heart at your service.", I say with a mock salute and a smile "Its a pleasure to meet the Leader of the Yokai Wolves."

"The pleasures ours, it was very kind of you to help us out.", he says as our gazes meet.

"Hey it's the least I can do, I've had wolf Yokai come to my aid before when I was in need."I say smiling softly "Catching a few fish isn't much."

Feudal Koga's pov....

I looked over Kagome's cousin whose green eyes twinkled, as she smiled at me. Her dark hair in it's ponytail had a reddish tint, and she had on blue short pants with a jacket around her waist tied, and a sleeveless shirt that showed showed her toned arms and legs nicely. And around her neck was a silver chain partially tucked under her shirt.

She was beautiful and she smelled amazing. My wolves even liked her, she held no fear of me so I had no doubt she was used to my kind. The crazy thing though even though I love Kagome my inner wolf wanted to keep her in my grip. The other crazy thing is she had my scent mark on her somehow.

"Well I better get back to the others before dogboy hunts me down", she says breaking me from my trance as she tucks some loose hair behind her ear.

"Well then while these guys cook the fish I'll walk you back, make sure you stay safe,", I say feeling my inner wolf's protective instincts kick in as she grabs a small bag.

"That's very sweet of you Koga.", she says looking at me the way I wish Kagome would, as the affection in her emerald green orbs is unmistakable. She takes my arm as we walk through the forest trustingly. "So I heard you have jewel shards in your legs, how fast do they make you.", she asks curiously making me smirk before lifting her bridal style chuckling at her squeal as she wraps her arms around me.

I have to admit her happy squeals as I run with her are cute, and Kagome hates going half this fast. She makes me wanna show off more as I speed up. She feels right in my arms even though I love Kagome and we just met. Maybe it's just her scent combined with the way she instantly trusted me and the boys. I don't know what to think Kagome's my mate, she can see jewel shards.

Kagome pov....

I was wondering how much longer Angel would be foraging when a tornado approached. Koga.... Great now he and Inuyasha will fight over me and it'll stall me making Inuyasha look for Angel.

"What's that creep here for? ", growls Inuyasha as Koga stops and he's holding my giggling cousin, both whom are smiling.
He sets her down gently steading her as she stumbles.

"Angel, you were supposed to be foraging, what are you doing with that punk?", Inuyasha shouts at her as she crosses her arms.

"Don't get in my face like your my father dog breath.", she says angrily her glare scarier then any yokai at the moment.

"Wouldn't want to parent an ugly wench like you. Maybe you should leave Kagome's and go back to.your own parents.", Inuyasha says as Angel's gaze turns to ice no emotion visable and I realize he hit a sorespot.

"Kagome, Angel looks scary.", Shippo says as I nod. Even Koga stares. Although It's more like he's trying not to attack Inuyasha as Angel glares.

Angel closes the distance between her and Inuyasha and punches his face, I watch Inuyasha step back in shock and pain then she hands me a bag of cherries.

"Thanks for the escort".Koga she says walking down river away from us.

"Should one of us talk to her.", Songo asks.
"She only talks to her best friend.", I say looking at Koga thinking as he stares at her confused, then he shakes his head.

"Way to go mutt, you made her mad. She was smiling when I met her and all the way here.", Koga yells at the hanyou before taking off after Angel.

"Kagome, Koga didn't try to flirt with you.", Miroku says. "I noticed", I say as Inuyasha stands stunned.

"Kagome control your cousin please.", Inuyasha says.

"Its your fault your remark was very insensitive, considering her dad won't accept her.", I say.

A few hours later Angel and Koga return and Angel gathers her bag and slings it.
"I'm gonna travel with Koga a couple days so I can cool down.", Angel says surprising me then starts walking away.

"Don't worry Kagome, it was my idea so I'll keep her safe.", Koga says before following after her.

"Oh, ok stay safe guys.", I say as they wave leaving maybe in Angel's eyes she's still hanging with her best friend.
