Chapter 1
"Inuyasha, you are such a two-timing jerk!" yelled Kagome running toward the Bone Eater's well.
"What the hell did I do?" said a confused Inuyasha.
"SIT Boy!"
30 MINUTES BEFORE ARGUMENT
Kikyo was found on a tree near Kaede's village. The whole group was shocked seeing her because they all watched Kikyo die in Inuyasha's arms years ago. Of course, Inuyasha went to talk to her as usual. Kagome thought they wished they could be holding each other. Kagome always feels left out when Kikyo is around. Kagome decided to go spy on the two. She had always felt like just a Kikyo replacement for Inuyasha that was until she died. Inuyasha told Kikyo that he liked her and not Kagome. He also said that the only reason he agreed to travel with Kagome was because she was Kikyo's reincarnation. Heartbroken by Inuyasha's harsh words, Kagome ran to the Bone Eater's well. Inuyasha caught Kagome's scent and told Kikyo that he would be right back.
PRESENT IN THE FUDAL ERA
"Don't follow me Inuyasha." Kagome said practically crying.
"Kagome, you know very well that I like Kikyo."
"Damn, Inuyasha I'm kind-hearted enough to leave you and Kikyo alone for the millionth time. Can't you have the least bit of consideration for me?" Kagome said. Angrily jumping into the well and trying to go to her time. Strangely, the well did not let her pass.
"Well, well, well, look who can't get through to her own time." Inuyasha said with an evil laugh behind it.
Having mixed emotions, Kagome gets out and slaps Inuyasha on the right cheek, and tells him to "sit" eight times in a row. Kagome runs to Kaede's old hut and tells her that it will not let her pass through.
Kaede slowly thinking about this situation, tells her to calm down and think clearly. She asks Kagome if she is certain she didn't mess with the well before going into it. Kagome answers with a huffy tone, "Yes.".
Concerned, Kaede tells Kagome that she will have to wait until the village could look at it. Kagome angered by this answer, she runs out of the hut and it the open air so she could think straight. Bumping into Miroku and Sango on the way, Kagome starts to cry and explains to them the situation.
"Sango, we must help Kagome she is clearly upset about this mess Inuyasha has gotten us into." Miroku says to Sango in a whisper.
"Quite a problem to help with don't you think. Maybe we shouldn't get involved, and let them work it out." Sango answered in a hushy tone.
"True enough!" Miroku said fairly loud, suddenly standing. Just then Miroku got an idea that might help Kagome in her crisis. "Kagome, why don't you try to make Inuyasha jealous by running off with Koga?" Kagome thought long and hard, because she didn't want to manipulate Koga into thinking she actually loved him.
"Sango, do not fret, this is a test to see if Kagome will fall in love with Koga before Inuyasha comes to his senses." said Miroku.
"Are you certain you want to trick her into this, monk? You could be wrong and mess everything up for Kagome and Inuyasha." Sango sympathetically asked.
"What if I am right?" the womanizing monk solicited. Sango just shrugged her shoulders.
"Alright, I'll do it!" blissfully said Kagome.
IN THE WOLF'S DEN
Koga was having a dream about Kagome asking to come live with him, too bad for Koga that it was all a dream. Just then, Koga caught a familiar scent, Kagome's scent. Koga then ran toward the front of the den awaiting the arrival of his woman. He also was joyous because she came alone. "That means that mutt isn't with her. Maybe I can convince Kagome to stay this time!" Koga thought to himself. Inspired by having no interruptions, Koga ran to Kagome, hoping to make her stay. "Hey Kagome, what are you doing in these parts? Come for a visit?" asked Koga.
"Actually, I came to ask a favor." Kagome said.
"Favor?" Koga questioned.
"I was hoping that I could come live with you and the pack. That is if you don't mind." Kagome said worrying about his answer.
Koga never thought he would see the day the God answered his prayers. "Of course, why ever would you think differently?" Koga eagerly picked her up and put her on his back. He carried her to the den where she will start a new life. Koga was overflowing with joy." I cannot believe she finally left that damn mutt and came running to me!" Koga thought in a wicked tone."This is gonna be great, my woman finally coming to live with me."
That same moment, that Koga had that thought, Inuyasha had an ominous chill going down his spine. "Where in all seven hells did Kagome go?" Inuyasha thought.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked.
"I-I have to go, I'll be right back." Inuyasha said running off into the woods. Inuyasha knew very well that the chill he had was a ghastly omen. He ran to old Kaede asking where Kagome was.
"Old hag, where the hell is Kagome!" Inuyasha rudely asked.
"She went to look for a wolf demon named Koga, I believe. She looked quite jovial when she told me about it." Kaede said serene.
"What! She went looking for that mangy wolf? BUT WHY! I thought you were going to fix the damn well, so she could leave." Inuyasha said dashing in every direction so he catches Kagome or Koga's scent. He was so determined to find Kagome that he didn't realize he left Kikyo in the forest alone. It was almost sunrise, Inuyasha finally caught Koga's scent; it was faint, but there. Inuyasha figured Koga was out hunting. Inuyasha went running southeast of the village.
KOGA AND KAGOME IN THE WOODS
"Hey Koga, why don't you like Inuyasha?" Kagome asked out of the blue.
"He thinks he is better than me. I am also jealous of him, having you by his side every second of everyday." Koga said forlornly.
"Heh. Not this time, not anymore. Apparently he loves Kikyo. It's starting to hurt to just say his name." Kagome said almost crying.
"Forget that damn mutt. He could go to hell for all I care. You have me now. You don't need him dragging you down all the time. Kagome, you know vastly that I will love you no matter what." Koga said reassuringly lifting her head, hoping for a kiss. Dropping her chin, knowing it isn't time to kiss her just yet. Strangely, Kagome felt happy almost like the butterflies in her stomach just flew away. She felt almost as if she just fell in love with Koga. "Kagome, you are my woman. I will never let anyone one have you especially that mutt." Koga said while embracing her with affection. Koga, then stopped hugging her, he could smell Inuyasha coming. "Kagome, go hid yourself very far from here. NOW!" Koga yelling her commands. Kagome was quite confused, but followed the orders she was given. Kagome ran into the woods, just as Inuyasha was coming out of them.
"Hey mutt, what the hell do you want?" Koga asked utterly.
"I want Kagome. I know you have her so give her up. Try to conceal her. I WILL sniff her out." Inuyasha said brusquely.
"I don't know where she is. Even if I did, why would I give her location to the likes of you?" Koga argued.
Inuyasha sniffed the air. He tried his best to find her. Inuyasha finally caught a slight scent of Kagome. He started running after her, Koga ran faster than Inuyasha. Koga called out to Kagome, she answered. When Inuyasha called out there was no answer. Inuyasha followed the scent on the path. Inuyasha found her by the river. He thought she was trying to wash away her scent, but she was actually crying into the fish-filled river.
"Kagome, why do you want to be with that flea-bitten wolf? Why don't you come back with me?" Inuyasha said cluelessly.
"Why do you want me to? You have Kikyo, why do you need me?"
"Kagome, you didn't hear everything did you?"
"HUH?"
"I said that I loved Kikyo. You left before I could finish. I said I loved her as a friend, and after that I said I loved you. Kagome, you are the woman I want, not Kikyo. She has been dead for over 50 years. Even if she hadn't died that day, she would be dead anyway. It was no accident you and I met that day in the forest. Kikyo told me that she was brought back a third time by a descendant of Urasua."
Kagome was in shock, but not as much as she thought she would have been. She thought long and hard about her decision, -Koga or Inuyasha-?
"I believe we met to get the jewel shards, not for love. Go to Kikyo as I will go to Koga. Inuyasha, I am no longer yours. I belong to Koga now, I am his mate forever."
Scandalized by these words, Inuyasha questioned if that was actually Kagome talking. He was so mad he was as red as a beet. Then all of a sudden, tears appeared in his eyes. They were as clear as adament.
"I thought you loved me. That's why you got so pissed at me when I told Kikyo that." Inuyasha said squalling.
Kagome felt bad, but then Koga came to get Kagome after hearing their conversation.
"Forget it, dog. Clearly Kagome wants me not you. She's mine now, you had your chance. It's my turn." Koga said behind a sinful laugh. Koga led Kagome to the wolf's den, leaving Inuyasha in the woods on his knees with tears in his eyes.
"Damn it all the hells. I messed up if I just told Kikyo like it is Kagome wouldn't have fallen for that repulsive wolf. Why did I think I could fix this so easily." Inuyasha thought to himself.
