Chapter 1 something to protect

One day Inuyasha and Kagome were walking around the forest and came up to the secret tree. They both remembered what happened after Inuyasha got tessaiga. "How long has it been since we were here?" asked Inuyasha with his eyes fixed on Kagome. She was close to him and started rubbing his ears while his chest started to rumble. "For as long as I can remember ever releasing you from the seal." as she stopped rubbing his ears and leaned up and gave him a light kiss on the lips. Inuyasha caught a familiar scent and put a protective arm around her waist.

"What do you want you mangy wolf?" Inuyasha asked sternly still keeping an arm around her waist. Koga came into the clearing and spotted Kagome in Inuyasha's arms.

"Get your hands off of my Kagome mutt face!" Exclaimed koga

"She's not even yours. Do you want to or should I?"he asked her while looking at her.

"I'll do it." Kagome said getting off of Inuyasha. "Koga I love Inuyasha and I want him to be my mate." Kagome said in a friendly voice.

Koga looked at Kagome and Inuyasha and at that moment he lounged at Kagome but was cut off by Inuyasha's claws. "Do you think that's it well you're wrong cause I'll come right back till I get my Kagome back and mate her myself."

Inuyasha pushed Kagome behind him and she ran as fast as she could. Even though Inuyasha would be able to track her down. She was a good distance from the two of them and hid behind a tree. "I'm going to be a little farther away from them. Plus it is hard find him and defeat Naraku and his companions. Now that the world is back on its feet again there's no way I'm going to be Koga's mate. I have already made a decision to be Inuyasha's mate." Kagome said quietly.

Meanwhile Inuyasha and Koga were still exchanging blows for the most part both of them seemed to be dodging each other's bows. As the wind blew Kagome's scent filled Inuyasha's nose and figured out that Kagome was too far away for him to see her. Koga took off in the direction Kagome took and Inuyasha followed.

Kagome sensed Koga in the distance so she got out of her hiding spot and ran away from Koga as fast as she could. Koga was gaining on her so she did the one thing that she could run a different way to throw Koga off and away from her. While she was running she rammed into something soft and a pair of arms circled around her waist. Kagome looked up to see who has a hold of her and it was Inuyasha.

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome with worried eyes. Then he claimed her lips the kiss depended a little bit. That's when a white tail came and took them both into the air and flew off. That's when they both figured out that Naraku was still causing trouble in the area. Sesshomaru was not trying to notice them too much. Kagome climbed out of the tail and was on sesshomaru's cloud. Suddenly her senses became so strong that she could hear the next village ahead of them. Inuyasha noticed it by the change in Kagome's scent. When they landed both of the brothers noticed that Kagome has changed her appearance. "What are you two staring at? Naraku's close I can hear him. He's going to attack the village." She said sternly

"Kagome you know that you've changed from a human to a yoika for appearance." Inuyasha said trying not to mention that she was starting to look like him. Kagome went to a stream and looked in. She saw were ears like Inuyasha and she looked behind her and saw a tail. Then she looked at her eyes they were an electric ice blue like a tiger's eye.

Inuyasha came and wrapped his arms around her and his nose went to the crook of her neck. She didn't know that he was there till his arms were around her. "Kagome do you know how you have changed your appearance."he said quietly. She shook her head positively " it's because I am a descendant of midoriko."she said quietly. Then she noticed a sand storm heading toward them. It was so fast that Inuyasha couldn't see anything.

When the sand cleared he was on the ground alone and Kagome was nowhere to be seen. He kept calling her name till he saw a piece of her clothing. Inuyasha looked around to see if Kagome or his brother was still around. Then a sent that he did not want to smell. It was Koga's sent he thought that the farther away they were he couldn't get any closer.

IN THE WOLF DEN

Koga and Kagome arrived at his den and set her down so when she woke up he would be able to mate her like he planned. It took him 7 days to find them and be able to knock Inuyasha out. Kagome had woken after Koga was out hunting for food for them both. Then she noticed that Koga had tied her hands together. As she got up there was a noise outside. Kagome recognized the scent that it was Inuyasha. She ran right into him with a worried look that had softened.

Inuyasha untied her ropes and they both ran away from the den. Koga smelled them and ran after them. Kagome gave the signal that they both should split up and meet back at Kaede's village.
