Hey, everyone! Yeah, I know this is another IY fanfic, and I haven't
finished my first one...but I'm waiting for my editor on that. So blame
her, not me! This one was inspired...well, I dunno by what, but I always
wanted to toy with the idea of another dog-eared hanyou...'cept that this
hanyou would be a girl! *tee hee* yeah, I'm using Kouga in this...he's
actually gonna be pretty important...(i think..o.O)
I hope you enjoy this!
BTW: REALLY sorry if Kouga is *WAY* out-of-character, because I really haven't seen much of him, except in the translations online, but this is how I remember him, so this's how I'm portraying him! Tell me if it's THAT off though, please. Thanks!

Mysterious Hanyou
Chapter 1: Mistaken Identity
By: Akiko
......................
The wind blew through his long, ebony strands of hair, his bright blue eyes sparkling in anticipation as he raced through the lush, green forest. To any 'normal' viewer, the only thing that could be seen of him was a blur and rustling of leaves and such. Yes, he was that quick. Thanks to a certain jewel.
The Shikon no Tama. Definitely not the basis of his strength, but it sure was a power up! To be able to find some shards and increase one's strength and speed...what self-respecting youkai wouldn't take it?!
Dashing through the (snow...lol sorry ^_^) woods, thoughts of a certain, raven-haired girl filled his head. Making him forget everything. Almost.
The wolf-youkai stopped in his tracks, sniffing the sweet, clean air. Or rather, the would-be sweet air, if a certain stench weren't drowning it. It was the familiar scent of the white-haired hanyou, the one he had aptly dubbed 'Dog-turd'.
'Hmph. What is that piece of dog-turd doing out here!?' he thought angrily, 'Wait...that could mean...KAGOME!'
Kouga made a mad dash for the hanyou, following his scent-trail, no matter how disgusting he considered it to be. The scent filled his keen youkai nostrils, becoming stronger and stronger as he got closer and closer.
A flash of red and white in the forest caught the young wolf's eye, causing him to skid to a stop.
'Feh. I'm this close and he doesn't even sense me. What an incompetent piece of crap,' Kouga thought angrily, as he breathed in, slightly winded by his quick sprint. He then suddenly realized something, 'Eh!? He smells...different...'
Kouga stealthily stalked the hanyou, the white-haired demon never even looking behind him, never sensing Kouga in the least. The white-haired half- demon's scent was different, still mostly sickening...but, sweeter, somehow? It faintly reminded him of his Kagome, it was similar to her sweet, teasing, feminine scent. But...why would Inuyasha smell like that?
The wolf unconsciously began to growl, beginning as deep rumble in his chest. The thought of Inuyasha being all over *his* woman made his blood boil. As if his body were moving of its own accord, he began to walk towards his rival, then he started to jog, and then he broke out into a full run, the shards of the Shikon no Tama pushing him faster.
He leapt into the air, kicking down with all his might at his 'prey'. Kouga smirked as he watched the hanyou turn around in surprise, finally noticing that he was being followed.
'Dumb dog.'
His arrogant smirk quickly faded, as his attack hit nothing but air. Kouga landed on the ground hard, but rolled back onto his feet in a fighting position, bearing his fangs.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" the white-haired hanyou cried.
"Eh!?" Kouga exclaimed. Was it just his imagination...or was Inuyasha's voice...higher?
Kouga stared for a moment, his blue eyes staring at the 'Inuyasha' before him, puzzled and blank. His lips began to curve upwards into a smile, and he began to chuckle. The hanyou, on the other hand glared at the wolf, golden eyes glistening with anger.
Within moments, the wolf-youkai was clutching his sides, trying desperately to hold in his laughter. Obviously he couldn't, as he burst out into laughter. What for? For a dense guy like this, who knows? Kouga started to roll in the dirt, clutching his sides and shaking with laughter, which only further angered 'Inuyasha'.
When Kouga finally needed air, he staggered to his feet, trying not to burst out in laughter once more. He stared at the hanyou standing in front of him, an amused smirk on his face.
"Wow, dog-turd. You sounded like a girl," he taunted, "Just like I always knew you were. A weak, girly, piece of dog turd!"
He managed to get that out before laughing in the middle of his sentence, but what he heard next sent a shock through his system.
"I AM A GIRL, YOU JERK!" she screamed furiously, "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK I WAS?!"
Kouga stood there, dumb-founded. This...hanyou...was a...girl!? That didn't make sense! "He" looked, and smelled similar to Inuyasha, but "his" voice was completely different.
"u...uh," he stuttered stupidly, "You're...not Inuyasha?"
"NO I AM NOT INUYASHA! MY NAME IS INUKO!" the young *female* hanyou yelled.
"I...Inuko!? If you're not Inuyasha, why do you reek with his scent!?" Kouga asked loudly.
Inuko looked thoughtful for a moment, realizing exactly what Kouga had just called her. He had called her Inuyasha, but...wasn't that the name of...
She ran up to him, her golden eyes questioning.
"Do you know Inuyasha?!" Inuko asked hurriedly.
Kouga just nodded, his blue eyes still confused.
"Where is he!?"
"I don't know," he replied calmly, "But I'm on my way to finding him. He has my woman, and I haven't seen her for awhile."
"Take me to him," she stated. She wasn't asking him to. She was *commanding* him to.
"Feh. Yeah right. Why would I wanna take a girly, little, dog-turd like you!?"
Inuko clenched her fists, and closed her eyes, her entire body shaking with anger. She's had enough of this arrogant, self-centered piece of...bleep!. Before considering the consequences of her actions, she did the thing she'd been wanting to do since he attacked her.
She kicked him. Hard. In the face, to boot. Inuko turned away from Kouga, who was now sporting a stylish, red footprint on his face.
'Why that JERK!' she thought angrily as she began to dream up of ways to torture the arrogant bleep!. If she had a...
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?" exclaimed a very angry Kouga.
The white-haired demon looked behind her, and gave him a flat look.
"Gee. You only insulted me and my heritage," she said vapidly, before abruptly turning around and continuing her journey.
The ebony-haired wolf blinked twice. Was this girl related to that dog turd, Inuyasha? She seemed a lot more intelligent, and more level-headed, choosing to get some information, despite the fact that he had insulted her numerous times in their first meeting.
He stood there, watching Inuko's rapidly retreating form. The sun began to set, creating an orange and pink wash across the clear sky, and painting the land a fiery color.
Kouga raised a single black eyebrow in confusion. Didn't she even realize she was walking into danger?
'Hmph. I wonder if she'll get killed,' he thought idly.
"KYAAAAA!!!!!!!"
The scream rang clearly through the forest, Kouga quickly recognizing Inuko's voice.
'Guess she would,' Kouga sighed in defeat, 'Ugh. Can't believe I'm gonna do this.'
He raced towards her scream, slightly shocked to discover many youkai surrounding the hanyou. Sure, he had anticipated there would be a number of them, but he didn't think this many would be trying to attack her. Then a thought struck him in the head.
'Maybe she has a shard of the Shikon no Tama...?'
Kouga grinned, the thought of gaining another a shard pleasing him.
'I should just let them eat her, huh?' he thought selfishly.
"SANKON TESSOU!*" Inuko cried desperately as she swung her deadly claws through a few youkai, leaving their corpses to fall to the ground.
Inuko looked about wildly, knowing exactly what they were looking for. The shard that she had found...they wanted it, didn't they?
More youkai swarmed about Inuko's body, completely covering her. So the girl couldn't fight...? Kouga shook his head in pity. Even he thought this was sad.
He raced towards the swarm, and with a few swipes of his claws and a few good kicks, the swarm of youkai fell into a bloody pile around the two demons.
The hanyou slowly opened one eye, and fell backwards from shock as she saw Kouga standing over her, a smug look on his face.
"EEP!" cried Inuko as she fell backwards.
Kouga towered over her, his bright blue eyes staring into her warm golden ones. She seemed to cringe in his presence, fearing that he would try to take her shard as well.
Boy, was she surprised.
He offered her a hand up, and she just stared up at him, her golden eyes wide and unblinking.
"Huh...?"
"Someone as pathetic as you shouldn't be left alone," he growled out.
Inuko smiled sweetly at him and carefully took his hand. Kouga pulled her up, and glared at her.
"Look. I'm only takin' ya with me 'cause we're headin' in the same direction, alright?"
She just smiled and walked with him towards their destination.
....................
*Yup, yup, yup. I'm gonna use the anime spellings for everything (Tessaiga, Sankon Tessou, etc.) because, I've seen the subs, but I don't...er....really remember how it's originally spelled. ^_^ I might switch back to the original if I EVER remember, so yeah!
So, what do ya think? Confused? I have a bad habit of doing that to people...o.O. Stay tuned for Chapter 2!
I hope you enjoy this!
BTW: REALLY sorry if Kouga is *WAY* out-of-character, because I really haven't seen much of him, except in the translations online, but this is how I remember him, so this's how I'm portraying him! Tell me if it's THAT off though, please. Thanks!
