Inuyasha's Gender Confusion

--Chapter 1— Kagome "Falls" for the Wolf

WIND SCAR! (Dunno how to say it in jap.!)

Inuyasha missed its head by a metre. Damn. My aims sure messed up today! (Inuyasha). Inuyasha ran across the ground, his feet heavily thumping against the soil as he tried one more time to slay the demon. He was sure this time that it would have a jewel shard.

The repulsive-looking demon had about nine little snakes sticking out of its head and dark, bloody eyes. It had rough, black hair that trailed down its dirty cheeks and an ugly, toothy grin- with yellowish, sharp teeth.

Inuyasha was sure that this demon had a jewel shard- how else did it get so much strength from?

"KAGOME! KAGOME- look closely! Does this demon have a jewel shard!" cried Inuyasha.

Kagome scrunched her eyes together, trying to get a good glimpse of the demon itself. It was late in the night and pitch black, which by the way wasn't making it any easier for her to get a clear look of the demon itself. The demon turned, and faced her- there we go, now I can see it more clearly (Kagome). Nope, there was no jewel shard.

"INUYASHA! There's no jewel shard!"

But Inuyasha didn't hear…he was a little too obsessed at the time to see that Kagome was yelling at him. Kagome thought what she should do, so she decided to quickly run over to Inuyasha so that he could hear her better.

Quickly running over, Kagome waved her hand, trying to grab the attention of Inuyasha. Suddenly, she tripped over a rock that jutted out of the soil. Crap, my ankle! (Kagome). She looked over to see that she had gotten a huge bruise on top of it-she tried to get up- but it hurt really badly. She hopefully glanced up to see if Inuyasha had noticed her- sadly that was not the case! Instead he was still fighting! Kagome held on to her sore ankle- unsure of what to do next.

Yelping in pain she suddenly felt the strong lift of someone's muscular arms. Glancing up, Kagome saw the one and only- Kouga.

"Kagome- are you ok? I heard you fall all the way from the forest. Can't believe that stupid mutt didn't hear you! Obviously too obsessed with fighting to notice that you of all people has fallen! Idiot." Kouga shook his head in unison to his disappointment as he slowly, yet steadily lifted Kagome off the ground.

"Ow!" Kagome winced… "It hurts…"

"Damn…stupid mutt…here Kagome, I'll carry you to some place safe…don't know what other stupid things that mutt is going to do. Might as well put you some place safer where you can't come to any more harm…"

Kouga picked Kagome up, one hand under her knees and the other under her neck. Slowly with his strong arms he walked towards the growth of the forest. Kagome glanced up at Kouga- he looked- cute for some reason. Ha ha…what am I saying- Kagome thought. She blushed at the thought and quickly put her head down. Though a few seconds later she couldn't help, but stare….

His hair was ruffled and messy and dirty- his muscular jaw was set straight and his cute little nose sigh, his pretty blue (at least that's what colour I think it is) eyes determined and concentrated to get Kagome to a safe place. If all of that was added together…Kouga looked- sexy. 

Sighing to himself Kouga finally found a clear patch several metres from where Inuyasha was still fighting the demon. Gently, he laid Kagome down and looked at her squarely in the eye. Gosh, she was so beautiful (Kouga). Blushing, Kagome lowered her head- feeling awkward at the moment.

Kouga diverted his stare, noticing that Kagome's ankle wouldn't get any better by him admiring her beauty! He ripped off some cloth from his head band and made a tight a wrap around Kagome's slender ankle.

"There…does that feel better?" he asked.

"Ya…kinda...thanks Kouga," Kagome looked up and gave a genuine smile of gratitude.

Awkward silence.

All of a sudden….

"KAGOME! KAGOME! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?"

Sigh, Here comes Inuyasha…(Kagome).

Angrily Kouga got up, "She's here you stupid mutt! While you were blasting your sword about, poor Kagome here sprained her ankle! Ass hole!"

"What?" Quickly Inuyasha ran over to the edge of the forest…there sat Kagome. He winced at her sore ankle. He blinked in confusion…then again….then one more time…

"Well…aren't you gonna say anything!" yelled Kagome…

Inuyasha just stared…then noticing that he hadn't said anything for the past two minutes he shouted "What the hell Kagome- I can't believe you were stupid enough to go and trip yourself! I was wondering where you were! Damn it…the only time I need your help to see if the demon had a jewel shard you go and trip yourself…sheesh!"

Blazed with anger Kagome screamed "EXCUUUUUUSE ME…its not my fault that you asked me to run away- so that you could try to be your usual macho self and try to save the day! Hey accidents happen! At least Kouga here was a big enough gentleman to get out of his way and help me! AND I even noticed that you saw me fall- yet you still continued fighting!"

Inuyasha stuttered- he knew he should say something in reply to what Kagome had said- but what could he say? He knew that whatever she was saying was true.

Kagome sat crossly, staring at Inuyasha to give a response. She couldn't believe that Inuyasha was being so arrogant and stubborn! He thinks he's all that, she thought!

Breaking the silence Kouga spoke, "Inuyasha- why the hell are you so dumb sometimes? I just don't get it…you see her fall, it's just common courtesy to go and help her!"

Now it was double the stares. Both crossing their arms Kouga and Kagome gave "the look". Inuyasha knew that look- he had gotten it several times from Kagome herself. The- "you are a selfish, arrogant, stubborn dumb ass" look. He couldn't take it anymore…

"FINE…I don't care anyways. It's not my fault that you can't watch where you're going! I'm going to Kaeda's hut (btw which is nearby, the demon that Inuyasha fought was inside the village itself). If you think Kouga's all that then he can take care of you until you get better!" He turned around and angrily walked away- growling to himself. Stupid Kagome…(Inuyasha).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was late in the night. Inuyasha laid across the floor of the hut with his hands behind his head. He couldn't sleep. He kept thinking of Kagome and how she was. He really wanted to go and see her…but…his pride came in the way. Hmpfh…silly Kagome…I don't care what happens to her…she deserves it for yelling at me like that. After all the rescuing and saving I do for her you'd think that she'd gimme a break! Sheesh! (Inuyasha).

Yet, no matter how much his pride got to him, he still couldn't stop thinking about her. Maybe his mind would be at ease if he just got a glimpse of Kagome- he'd only look for a minute and then maybe he'd feel better. Quietly getting up, so that he wouldn't wake up the others, Inuyasha tip toed out of the hut. He creeped through the shadows of the night, trying to go through the village unnoticed. Finally he saw the overgrowth of where he last saw Kagome. Creeping over he suddenly heard some noises.

"Mmmm….Kouga…."

No, it just must be my ears- haven't gotten any sleep that's why! (Inuyasha)

Still stunned he dashed over to the bushes, anxious to get over his doubts. He peered over…what he saw absolutely flabber-gasted him. Totally unexpected- and almost made him have a heart attack…

"K-k-k-agome?", he whimpered….
