“I had heard her call out to that pathetic mutt countless times... The first time she said my name like that, it was hard to resist kissing her right then and there.”
Idk I wanted to do something different for Firsts. I don’t actually totally ship KogKag, (InuKag is OTP yo), but I was inspired by this prompt so *shrug emoji*.
It did not matter how hard he tried, he was not strong enough to protect his woman. It was better if he kept his distance; it was the only way to truly protect her. Ignoring the sound of his heart breaking, he leaves her behind.
Because he loves her.
And he isn’t enough for her.
~~~
Kagome’s heart was heavy with sorrow. Her arrows had not been enough. She had not been enough. If it had not been for Inuyasha pulling Kouga out of Naraku’s grip, she would have lost him forever. He had only risked his life to help her and she had almost killed him.
She could not keep putting him in danger like that. She had to let him go.
------>
Canon!Divergence where Kagome fell for Kouga when he kidnapped her. He doesn’t travel with them, but he’s constantly present. One day, she convinces him to stay with them and things take a turn for the worst during a fight with Naraku.
Yeah, Yeah. I decided to play around with manga scans and arrange them as I see fit.
Kagome couldn’t understand why her mom left her all alone with these other kids. Where were their mommies and daddies? Kagome fought the tears as she sat at her desk looking at the empty paper she was supposed to be coloring
“What’s wrong?”
Kagome looked up to see a little boy with pretty blue eyes sitting next to her, focused on his own drawing.
“My mom left me here. I want to go home,” she began to cry again.
“Don’t cry, I’ll protect you. We can be best friends. I’m Kouga,” he puffed out his chest as he proudly introduced himself. He was being a big boy, just like his dad told him to be. His mom and dad would be super proud of him.
Kagome sniffled, and looked up at him with wide, gray eyes. “I’m Kagome. Mommy will come back and get me, right?”
“Don’t worry. They will come back. My parents promised, and they never break a promise. Did your mommy say that?”
Kagome nodded.
“Okay, let’s color then. I’ll draw you, and you can draw me being super strong.”
The two sat next to each other, and colored the day away, not knowing this was the start of a life-long friendship.
Fourth Grade
“Kouga!”
Kouga looked up to find his best friend running to him. “I was worried you wouldn’t make it.”
“You would have stopped the bus if I wasn’t here,” she laughed. They boarded the bus and found seats in the back. “Remember the time you told the bus driver you were going to pee your pants if he didn’t let you run back home last year when Mom was late dropping me off?”
“That was the best. He totally believed me.”
“Are you excited for the field trip to the zoo?” she asked.
“Totally, I can’t wait to see the wolves. They are the best part!”
“No way, the exotic cats are the best part,” she giggled with him.
They two laughed and talked the whole way, talking about things they wanted to do, and food they wanted to eat. Field trip days were always the best when you had your best friend to go with you.
Seventh Grade
“Ugh, broccoli, I hate broccoli,” Kagome pushed her food aside and stared at the lunch tray in disgust.
“Same here,” Ginta said as he stole one of her broccoli pieces and shoved it in his mouth.
“Hey, don’t steal her food,” Kouga ordered his friend.
“It’s fine. The broccoli gets stuck in my braces. Are you coming to my birthday party this weekend?” Kagome asked her friends.
“We have a track meet in the morning,” Hakkaku answered.
“Oh,” Kagome fought to show her disappointment.
Kouga glared at Hakkaku for making his Kagome sad. “What he means to say, is we will be there, just a bit late.”
“Great! Inuyasha said he would bring Miroku too. And of course Sango is coming.”
Kouga rolled his eyes in disgust.
“Kouga, I know how you feel about Inuyasha and Miroku,” she admonished him.
“Miroku is just so handsy. Pretty sure I left a bruise on his hand the last he tried to touch you.”
“Always my protector,” she smiled at him, her braces glinting in the light.
Kouga felt the tips of his ears turn red, and he tried to ignore the way his heart skipped a beat when she smiled at him.
Tenth Grade
Kouga felt anger surge through him as he felt Kagome sob on his chest.
“Why did he break up with me?” she continued to sob.
“Because he’s an idiot. I always knew he was trash.” Kouga remembered the minute that Inutrasha shown interest in his Kagome. Her braces came off, and she grew up over the summer. There was no denying she was a beautiful young woman, but he always knew that. The problem was now other guys noticed it too.
“If he’s such an idiot, then why am I the one crying over him?” Her eyes were swollen and he felt his shirt dampen from her tears.
“Because you loved him.” It hurt him to say, but he knew the way Kagome felt about Inuyasha.
He held her until she stopped crying, and his mom made her a special dinner to cheer her up before Kouga dropped her back off at home.
“Thanks for tonight Kouga. You’re always there when I need you.”
“And I always will be. That’s what friends are for.”
“You think I’ll find someone new?”
“A girl as pretty as you? You’ll have guys lining up to take you out. I’ll just have to intimidate them first to make sure they are worth your time.”
Kagome laughed for the first time that night.
College Freshman Year
Kagome was at a party with Sango at the frat Kouga was rushing. The rooms were crowded and the cups were overflowing. Drinks were forced in Sango and Kagome’s hand as they were searching for their friend.
“Kagome, you made it!” Ginta bumped into the two girls. “Hey Sango! You girls need a drink?” he yelled over the music.
They showed the drinks in their hand in response.
“Have you seen Kouga?” Kagome asked.
“I think I saw him talking to some redhead in the living room.”
She rolled her eyes and fought the urge to gag. Kouga was always such a ladies man, but none of them ever stayed long. Kagome didn’t think she ever even met one his girlfriends before. Ginta took the girls into the other room to find Hakkaku and Kouga.
“So is this the frat you are gonna rush?” Sango asked, looking around.
“We are figuring out which one we want to do. We each got three bids, and only two of them were the same house. We’ll see.”
Kagome didn’t really quite understand, but she knew Kouga and the boys always talked of rushing during their senior year of high school. She nodded in response, and her eyes scanned the living room, instantly finding Kouga among the crowd. It was hard to miss his long ponytail and broad, tanned shoulders in the crowd.
She saw him leaning against the wall, flirting with a petite redhead, who was laughing at everything he said. Kagome felt a surge of jealousy as she saw Kouga staring intently at this other girl that wasn’t her.
“He looks busy,” Kagome stated nonchalantly.
Ginta raised his eyebrows at the jealousy in Kagome’s voice, and shared a look with Sango.
“He’s never too busy for you Kagome. You’re like, the center of his universe,” Sango replied.
The two noticed the way a blush covered Kagome’s face when Sango said that.
“Yeah, right,” she muttered, trying to laugh, brushing her long hair behind her ear.
“Kagome, you’re here!” Hakkaku slurred, almost falling on her. Kouga looked up at the sound of Kagome’s name being said, and saw her standing across the room. The redhead immediately noticed the way Kouga’s face lit up when he looked at that other girl.
“Ayame, I’ll be right back. Save me a drink.” Kouga winked and left her standing there. He had to say hi to Kagome. She was his girl.
“Kagome, you made it!” Kouga yelled, lifting her up from the ground and spinning her around. Kagome placed her face in the crook of his neck and smiled.
“I only showed up for you, you know this isn’t my scene,” she grinned up at him.
“The dynamic duo together again!”
She laughed and rolled her eyes, noticing that the redhead girl stormed off in the background. Maybe this wouldn’t be such a bad night.
College Graduation Day
“Kagome, Kouga look over here!” Mrs. Higurashi told the two. They both smiled dutifully as their moms took multiple photos of the same pose.
“Okay, just the boys!” Kouga’s mom called out. Ginta, Hakkaku, and Souta both clambered in the photo.
“Mom, we’re gonna be late. We’ll meet you after the ceremony,” Kagome said, kissing her mother on the cheek. “Guys, let’s go. We have to get Sango too.” The group waved goodbye to their families, and rushed across campus to grab Sango before running to the stadium.
The ceremony passed quickly, with Kouga and Kagome both screaming loudly for each other. They both met up afterwards before meeting up with their families to sneak a mini bottle of champagne in celebration.
“We did it!” Kouga pumped the air, taking a swig out of their bottle.
“I can’t believe we are done with school,” she replied, taking the bottle from him.
“Listen, there’s been something I’ve been meaning to do,” Kouga said to Kagome.
“What have you been meaning to do?” Kagome teased.
Kouga took a big breath and took Kagome in his arms. “This,” he said before pulling her in for a kiss. Kagome froze for a second, before relaxing into his embrace, wrapping her arms around him. It lasted for a moment, before he released her.
“It’s about damn time,” she whispered.
He grinned cockily in response.
Present Day
Kouga paced nervously as he adjusted his tux, before Ginta popped his head in.
“It’s time,” he said. Kouga grinned that cocky grin Kagome loved before hugging his best man.
“Souta, Hakkaku, let’s go!” Kouga called for his other groomsmen.
The four waited at the end of the aisle, smiling at the guests as they awaited eagerly for the bride to make her appearance.
The music started and the bridal party made their way down the aisle. Kouga’s heart increased, and he felt his stomach doing somersaults the minute the bridal entrance music came on.
The doors opened and Kouga’s breath was taken away by the sight of Kagome in a gown fitting of a princess. She made her way down the aisle, her eyes on Kouga. The minute she was near Kouga, his hands reached out for her, and she eagerly grabbed them.
The officiant spoke of love and promises while Kouga and Kagome kept their eyes on each other during the whole ceremony. All too soon, the officiant asked the best man for the rings. Kagome nervously put the ring on Kouga’s hand, her voice shaking through the vows. Kouga confidently professed his vows loud enough for the entire church to hear as he placed the simple wedding band on her finger.
“By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You can kiss the bride!”
Kouga grinned and cupped Kagome’s face in his hands as he placed his lips on hers.
Her heart soared as she recalled all the times they have been through. She never could have imagined that brave little boy who became her first friend, would one day be her husband.
KogKag Week Day 2-human//demon (Ah i’m out of order)
So I haven’t ever uploaded a composition like this before, but celebrating my favorite human/demon couple seemed like a good call for the first time to be brave.
I could only get it uploaded through Google Drive (whoops 2:30 was too long of a file for finale)
So I hope you guys enjoy? I don’t normally share this kind of stuff, but I’m hoping it’s enjoyable at least :)
This is my composition. Feel free to share, but please credit me as you would any other artist.
Short explanation: We start slowly with a theme exploring Kagome, our cute little human new to the world around her. Her theme grows as her confidence does in the story. Quickly Kouga, our quick-footed demon, makes an appearance and crashes into her life. Before long, Kagome’s melody joins in with Kouga’s in almost a rush (the rush of falling in love, the rush of adventure, the rush of meeting each other and fitting together like puzzle pieces) and they mix together until finally we end with the sudden peace and calm of just being together and being in love-their themes (tenderly? Hopefully?) played together once more.
also i love dissonance and resolution, so there'a lots of that in here :)
