Ship: Kouga/Kagome

Squicks: none I can think of
Word count: 200 exactly, not counting the quote
"Jealousy is the dragon in paradise; the hell of heaven." --A.R. Orage
Inuyasha stands between them, as if he has a right to be there. He’s angry, shouting, and that makes Kouga’s blood sing with the urge to fight, to claw and rend and tear his way to Kagome.
She’s standing behind Inuyasha, hands on his shoulders, the only thing holding him back. It’s not through physical force she does this, of course, but the strength of the emotional hold she has on him.
On us all, Kouga thinks, not too surprised by the bitterness he feels at this. Sometimes, when yearning for Kagome threatens to choke him, he almost resents her. He hasn’t belonged to himself since he began to love her.
He doesn’t want to love her. She’s human, and mortal, and naïve, but her face is so open and pretty, and that skirt of hers is so very short. He loves her face, loves that skirt, even loves her naiveté.
More than anything, though, he loves when she calls him Kouga-kun in that breathy little voice of hers, and Inuyasha turns purple with fury.
So he takes her hands and smiles when the hanyou growls. She beams up at him, says his name. Enraged, Inuyasha turns purple.
It’s enough.
