Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter 1

"Koga!" screamed Kagome, as the wolf demon was thrown to the floor, falling unconscious. Kagome ran up to him, observing all the severe wounds that covered his body.

Inuyasha turned around to look at Kagome. "What!" thought Inuyasha angrily, "what about me? I'm the one fighting the demon here, doesn't she care that I could get hurt? Of course not, she only cares about that weak wolf boy."

"Inuyasha! Watch out!" To Inuyasha's pleasure, Kagome had left Koga in the care of Sango and Miroku and was now standing watching the battle intently.

"Huh?" Inuyasha turned around just in time to see the swiftly moving tail come barreling down on his head. "Damn!" cursed Inuyasha as he fell to the ground. The tail was coming down to strike the final blow to the dazed Inuyasha, who was still recovering from his last blow, but at the last instant, Inuyasha rolled to his side. Instead of landing the powerful blow to Inuyasha's head, the tail struck Inuyasha's left arm, creating a large gash and a cracking sound that caused Kagome to gasp.

Inuyasha rolled onto his back and clasped his left shoulder with his right hand. Yet again, the demon did not give Inuyasha much time to recover, because the large tail was once again hovering over his head, threatening to break every bone in his body. "Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled. At the sound of her voice, strength pulsed through Inuyasha's veins. Inuyasha quickly unsheathed Tetsusaiga, and brought it up in front of him just as the tail was about to collide. The demon let out a horrific shriek, as his tail was separated from his body. Blood covered Inuyasha's entire body. Rising from his position, Inuyasha attempted to wipe as much blood as he could from face his eyes. The demon was in a rage, and started blindly attacking everything in its path. It stumbled towards Kagome, and raised a large, clawed hand. Inuyasha seeing the danger Kagome was in put all his remaining strength into one final slash with the Tetsusaiga. The attack served its purpose, separating the demon's head from its body. Kagome was covered in the demon's blood. As the head of the monster fell to the floor, Inuyasha also fell to the floor. He had lost a great deal of blood, and he required rest. "Inuyasha!" Kagome said while running up to the wounded hanyou.

"Heh. Kagome, you're a mess."

"And you think you look any better!" she suppressed a giggle. "Next time do you think you could chose a less… messier… way to dispose of a demon?"

"I'll try," and with those final words, Inuyasha passed out.


"He's waking up," called out Kagome.

"Now I know how an ant feels when you step on it," muttered Inuyasha while sitting up. "What happened?"

"After the fight, we took you to the village and Kaede helped heal you. It's a good thing you heal quickly, that shoulder of yours got beat pretty badly."

"Yeah, Mutt, you got beat," Koga taunted.

"I wouldn't be talking, you got knocked unconscious at the beginning of the battle. It's too bad he didn't kill you," retorted Inuyasha. Koga opened his mouth to respond, but he was cut off by Sango who had just entered the room with Miroku and Shippo.

"How are you feeling?" asked Sango.

"I'm fine," said Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, what happened to you during the battle?" she asked.

"What do you mean? You saw it, you should know."

"She means, you weren't paying attention, you were looking at Koga and me when you got hit," Kagome said.

"What do I say?" Inuyasha thought frantically.

"Inuyasha?"

"I-I was worried about Koga" Inuyasha stammered.

"What!" said everyone at the same time.

"Inuyasha, I think we all know that's a lie," said Miroku.

"Yeah, just a minute ago, you said you wanted me dead," stated Koga.

"So what's the real reason, Inuyasha?" asked the little Kitsune that was perched on Kagome's shoulder.

Inuyasha ignored the question, and got up and left the hut.

"What's with him?" asked Shippo.

"Who knows?" said Sango.


Alright, so I actually have over 50 chapters of this story completed. I have it up somewhere else (no one has told me that that is not allowed, please tell me if it is. It is my own work, (though I do not own Inuyasha). I hope you like this. Remember, 50 chapters already done, so it won't take me long to update. Just show me you want me to update, and I'll put up the next chapter! Thanks! twofang
