HELLO, ALL!! I have named the sequel as such for an unknown reason. It might be relevant to the story. And if it isn't, I'll make it so! Mwa hahahahaa~!

*ahem*

Like the prequel, I have no real idea as to what I'll write, or how this story will turn out. I just know of a few events that I have in mind that I wish to put in this story.

So, without further ado, here is Saving a Lost Hanyou - Savior

Disclaimer: I don't own the cast and crew of InuYasha… all right fine! I don't own InuYasha, Period! Sheesh...


Saving a Lost Hanyou - Savior

Chapter 1

He could've sworn that he heard a voice calling him. But it seemed so distant. And everything that was happening was too good to be true. He couldn't DREAM of leaving now! A white light sudden blinded the hanyou, causing him to flinch and retreat back into the world of everything good. But there! It was the voice again. It was getting louder and louder, and it was calling out his name. Suddenly, the world he was in went dark.

InuYasha opened his eyes and let out a huge yawn. "So it really WAS a dream."

"Well, morning to you too, sleepy head." He looked up to find a beautiful young woman standing on his side of the bed and leaning over him. She was already fully dressed.

"Huh? Oh, good morning, Kagome!" he said as he pulled his lover back onto their bed and cuddled with her. She giggled.

"You're such a softy, you know that?" she said as she turned around to face her hanyou and gave him a kiss.

"Mmm… only for you." He smirked and climbed out of bed and headed off to the bathroom, catching Kagome softly saying, "You better!" just as he closed the door.

It had been a couple months since they had finally graduated from high school. They applied at different colleges, but found a place that was convenient for the both of them. Neither college was too far from where they now lived. At first, InuYasha was a little concerned about how living with each other would be like, but after living with the girl for a month, he slowly dropped his guard and ignored his paranoia. Living together had turned out to be the best decision yet.

InuYasha finished his shower and stared at himself in the mirror. He reached up and touched the necklace that Kagome had gotten him a year ago. It was said to help, should he turn into what he called a monster, but since that night, there hasn't been anything to set him off or nearly kill him. But it was kept on as an extra precaution. But neither of the two knew how it even worked. He had even tried to take it off once, but the necklace flashed fiercely and would not budge any higher than InuYasha's chin. He stepped out of the bathroom and headed over to the dresser. With a sigh, he began fishing out his clothes for the day before getting dressed.

---------

On days when neither of the two felt like cooking, their usual routine after they left the apartment was to head over to a coffee shop across the street and eat breakfast. From there, InuYasha would follow Kagome until they reached the university before they parted and InuYasha doubled back to go to his university. He didn't particularly mind. His class didn't start till a little later, anyways. He had just walked through the gates when he spotted his long-time friend waiting for him to catch up.

"Hey, Miroku. Finished your homework last night?" InuYasha asked. He and Miroku shared only one class together, and that was the first class of the day.

"Did YOU?" Miroku asked with a slight grin. InuYasha only rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Well, it was fairly easy." InuYasha nodded in agreement as they stepped into their first class.

InuYasha was in his second class when he felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket. He frowned, not wanting to miss anything important from the lecture. He quickly looked at the time. Class would only be for another 20 minutes. Hopefully, it could wait. As soon as the professor released everyone, InuYasha bolted for the door, and pulled out his cell. He had a text message waiting. It was from Kagome. She was asking for him to come and pick her up after classes were over. InuYasha was worried. 'Usually I wait at home for her. Something must be wrong.' He let out a soft 'meh' as he headed to the cafeteria. Only two more classes to go.

--------

Kagome waited patiently at the entrance for InuYasha to come and get her. She hoped that the next person she saw would be him. She hoped that he came soon. But her hopes were not enough, as she heard the voice of someone she had very much NOT wanted to see again.

"Kagome? So there you are. Waiting for me, I see?" Kagome sighed. 'Kouga,' she thought as she slowly turned to face him. Kouga was a wolf demon who had apparently been eyeing her since the start of college. Up until now, he hadn't made any moves. She gravely regretted ever bumping into him at the hall.

"Kouga… any demon could pratically smell the scent coming off of me a—"

"Yes, and it's quite a beautiful scent too. Except for that othe—"

"Exactly! I belong to him. I know that I've told you that earlier."

"Well, he's not here now." He said, taking a step towards the young woman. She took a step back. "And it won't take too long for me to get rid of that scent." A lustful look in his eyes as he took yet another step towards her. Kagome was about to turn and run when she collided into a strong chest. She tried to push away, but two strong arms held her firmly. She struggled even harder to get away, and felt the person lean down a little. She panicked.

"Kagome, it's me…" she heard someone whisper softly in her ear. She knew that voice. She paused for a moment and the person spoke again, looking up at Kouga. "Something wrong here?" It was InuYasha.

"Your scent… this woman belongs to you?"

"Yeah, what of it?" Kagome heard Kouga chuckle and she snuggled into the safety of his arms. InuYasha growled softly as he gave her a reassuring squeeze.

Kouga saw the little hints of affection, and scoffed. "Nothing. Nothing at all," was all that the demon said before turning to leave. "See you tomorrow, Kagome." InuYasha watched as the demon slowly disappeared from sight before he whispered, "Let's go.." to Kagome, leading the way to the station.

--------

"Kagome?" he asked as he finally let go of her. They were finally back in their apartment. They hadn't said anything to each other the whole trip back. She walked over to the bed and quietly sat, heavily sighing. InuYasha took a seat to the right of her and waited patiently for her to do or say something. It was quite some time before she idly reached a hand up to play with his ear. He sighed softly. She was starting to return to normal, a little.

"He was a very old childhood friend.." Kagome started, staring at the floor. She leaned against InuYasha's shoulder, and inhaled deeply. "He moved away when I was in 3rd grade. He said that he'd one day come back for me. Back then I was so happy that he said that. Losing a close friend was hard for me back then. And he was the only one who ever really talked to me and got to know me. But… once he was gone, I was alone." InuYasha frowned. He knew how it felt to be alone. "I guess in a way, it was a good thing. I became strong and was able to defend myself. You wouldn't believe the bullies back then." She chuckled a little.

InuYasha gently nudged her head. "That's hardly funny, you silly girl." Kagome smiled a little.

"I suppose. But like I said, I felt alone after he left. Now that I look back on it, it's a little funny, is all." InuYasha shook his head a little. He gave her credit, though, for being able to laugh at her past. He can't do the same. "Anyways," she continued, "I eventually made three new friends, and became more focused on my school, but the emptiness was still there. Things didn't really change for me until I transferred high schools. And that's when I met you." She looked up at InuYasha now, who had been staring down at the girl the whole time with a slight sadness. Or so she thought before it suddenly disappeared. She mentally shrugged it off as nothing.

InuYasha took this time to look away, hard in thought. There it was again, the sadness in his eyes. But it on sooner disappeared once more as they came. "Did you realize at some point after he left that you loved him?"

Kagome sat up, curious as to where the question came from. She turned her body to face him, and took his hand in hers. "I did. But in all honestly, I didn't love him anymore than I love Miroku and Sango. The first and only person who I've ever loved and cared for so much, and even nearly died for, was you."

InuYasha smiled a little, knowing that that last part was meant to cheer him up. InuYasha gently pushed her head down, smiling a little more. Kagome smiled a little more in return. "Anyways, tell me about today."

"Oh yeah…" she said, sighing. "Well, those three friends I told you about? They're going to the same college as I am. They knew about Kouga from way back when. Today, they ran up to me just after you left, and said they had a surprise for me. So they pushed me into the halls, and that's where I bumped into him. He seemed a little surprised, though I had a feeling that he had seen me since the start of school. Anyways, we caught up a little before class started. Apparently, we share the same classes, I guess." Then Kagome turned her body back to its original position and sighed heavily. "During our second class, that's when he started advancing on me, telling me about the promise he made back then, how much I've grown and how he wanted me to become his woman. I told him that I was already with someone, but he kept insisting that he was the best for me. It got a little out of hand, so that's when I sent you a text. He tried to take my cell to see who I was texting, but luckily, the professor caught him and told him to move. He didn't stop, though, because he tried to talk to me again during lunch. I ran to my third class and asked the professor to keep Kouga away from me. I even had to ask my other professor in my last class to do the same." She paused again, taking deep breaths. InuYasha wrapped an arm around her. She flinched a little, and InuYasha pulled his arm away, but leaned against him anyways.

"InuYasha… it's creepy to see the person that I was so close to back then act like this. And because I'm in love with you, it makes it that much worse." InuYasha was slightly hurt by this. She then caught herself and shook her head. "I mean, being with you isn't making it worse. The fact that he's trying so hard to make me his, while knowing that I'm with you, is what's making it worse for me." Kagome sat up and faced the hanyou again, reaching up to touch his cheek, turning his head so that he looked at her. "If I had the chance, I'd do it again, InuYasha," she said, referring to her earlier statement. "Only for you," she went on, quoting her lover with a smirk.

He reached up and playfully ruffled her hair.
