Remote Sanity

Part one: Fixing things

A breeze rustled the thick trees in the forest named for the half demon within it. His amber eyes shot daggers across the clearing at a certain raven-haired foe. He cracked his knuckles threateningly, a growl rising up from his heaving chest. "I TOLD you to stay away from her, WOLF." He spat the last word out as if it were filth.

Kouga grinned viciously, clenching his fist. "What're you going to do about it? A half-breed like you doesn't stand a chance against me. Kagome's mine..." He narrowed his harsh blue eyes and pulled his fist back, letting out a war cry as he charged at the half-demon in front of him.

Inuyasha jumped up and to the side, barely missing the wolf demon's attack. He landed lightly on his feet, smirking. "Keh. Is that all you got, wimp? HIJIN KETSUSOU (Blades of Blood)!" he cried, digging his sharp, demonic nails into the muscled flesh of his chest and flinging crimson blades at his enemy. "I'd never let someone like you near Kagome!"

Kouga smirked, leaping up into the air. "I don't think I could let someone as masochistic as you be in her presence." He kicked himself into high-speed and delivered a round-kick to Inuyasha's chest.

Inuyasha flew back, smacking hard into a tree. He didn't allow himself a yelp of pain. He would not show weakness to such a cretin. "Big words for such a little man!" He leapt over to Kouga, unsheathing Tetsusaiga and bringing it in front of him. It glinted in the dappled light. "You're a burden. KAZE NO KIZU!"

Kouga's eyes widened in shock for a split second and then he tried to dodge it. The attempt was mostly unsuccessful and it tore the flesh on his left arm and leg, making it hard for the wolf demon to move. "I will not be beaten by an insolent mutt." He ground out. "Drop your sword and fight like a real man, unless that is, you don't think you can win using your own fists to protect you!" Kouga growled and charged Inuyasha again with renewed vigor.

The half-demon smirk confidently. "Even better." He sheathed the fang and threw it to the ground with a clang. He delivered a swift blow to Kouga's face with his clenched, white-knuckled fist. "You asked for it!" He brought his left clawed hand down upon the wolf and left four bloody gashes in the wolf demon's flesh.

The youkai wasn't at all deterred by the hanyou's attack. Rather, he found it sufficient fuel for his hatred and energy. He grabbed Inuyasha's arm and wrenched it to the side and then behind him. Kouga laughed from behind the hanyou into his ear. "Gotcha." And then he kicked the back of his knee as hard as he could, causing the half-demon to fall to the ground.

Inuyasha's legs buckled. He yelped to himself. He would only falter momentarily. As soon as his knees hit the ground, he spin around, punching Kouga hard in the stomach, hopping up as he did. He jumped over the demon, making sure to kick him hard in the face. He landed behind him, chuckling maliciously to himself. "Give it up, wolf, before you get yourself killed."

Kouga growled feebly, having the wind knocked from him. He spat at Inuyasha's face. "I'll never submit to a pathetic excuse for a bastard mutt like you."

Inuyasha's upper lip twitched. "Keh. You'll regret ever stepping FOOT near Kagome!" And with that, he lunged forward, bent on killing the wolf, and not intending to stop until he did.

DB was on the edge of her seat, watching the drama unfold. "NO! Kouga!" She wasn't going to let he favoritest bishie get killed by her oh, say 15th favoritest bishie. So, she grabbed her handy dandy "You can control anime too!" remote control and did something that she thought would be beneficial for everyone... especially her. She grabbed the Yaoi switch and pointed it at Inuyasha, turning the dial up to "Mild Attraction" and then did the same to Kouga. "There!" She said triumphantly, turning to her friend and partner in crime, Aiko. "That should fix things, right?"

Aiko grinned widely, nodding eagerly. "I think it'll more than FIX things..." She giggled fangirlishly and began watching once more...
