Ok- New story! I am writing this as a special request for a friend. I usually don't write things with so much inappropriate content, but this story kind of called for it. Be warned- it is rated M for a reason people! Anyways… here you go Meghan (and everyone else who is reading this.) Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Inuyasha or any of its characters.

Kagome ran swiftly through the forest, thorns and vines tearing at her clothes and flesh as she passed. It was too late to slow down now; she had come so far and only had a little farther to go. She could feel a fresh trail of blood flowing from her shoulder, where his claws had struck her. A single tear managed to escape her eye, and she subconsciously tried to brush it off as she ran.

'Now is not the time to think about this!' She scolded herself.

Her chest heaved in and out and her breath came in ragged pants. She could feel her body wanting to slow down, but she pushed herself to keep going. She HAD to keep going. In just a few moments she would reach the well. In just a few moments she would be safe. If only she could make it just a little bit farther…

Kagome stopped in her tracks as she saw a figure land directly in front of her with a heavy thud. 'This can't be happening!' Kagome thought as she slowly started to back up, never taking her eyes off her attacker. He moved towards her slowly, like a predator stalking its prey. She could see the hungry glint in his eyes intensify as her fear spiked, and panic took over her senses. It was too dark to make out much of anything else, but by the few pale beams of moonlight that streamed through the dense foliage you could see the elongated nails and razor sharp fangs that poked out from under his lips as he smiled and advanced slowly upon his prey. He smirked when Kagome backed up into a tree, effectively cornering herself, and ending this little game of chase that they had been playing. As he took his last step towards her, a beam of moonlight was cast upon him, illuminating his being for all the forest to see. For the first time this night, Kagome cursed the fact that the moonlight shone through the forest, giving her a perfect view of her surroundings. This is something that she never wanted to have to see. At least if she didn't have her vision, she could pretend that it was someone else. She could pretend that it wasn't him- the person that she trusted more than anyone else. She could pretend that her best friend, (and secret crush) wasn't the once who was about to hurt her.

"Inuyasha…please…don't…" She whispered in a desperate attempt to stop him. But it was already too late. He was standing directly in front of her now, a devilish grin on his face. Kagome shut her eyes tightly as another tear rolled down her cheek. 'How did I ever let it get this far?'

-Flashback-

"Goodbye!" Kagome yelled as she waved cheerily to her friends. Sango had requested a week to go back to her old village to tie up some loose ends, and Inuyasha reluctantly agreed. Miroku wanted to accompany her of course, just to "make sure that she was safe," and that meant that Shippou had to go along to make sure that Sango was safe from Miroku.

Sango yelled back a cheery goodbye as well, and looked down from her position on the fire cat's back as they took to the skies. Before they knew it, the group was gone and Inuyasha and Kagome were alone. A few days had passed since then, and things had been going peacefully for the most part- No demon attacks or 'evil auras' to speak of so far.

Inuyasha sat up in a tree –as usual- looking down on the campsite as Kagome cooked ramen for him.

"You can come down now Inuyasha! The ramen is done." Kagome announced as she held his bowl out to him. He plopped down next to her with a 'Feh' and snatched it from her hands. Some of the scalding liquid sloshed out and burned her hand. She quickly retracted it, and clutched it tightly to her chest. Inuyasha paid no attention, and choked down his food. He then jumped back up to his perch in the tree as if he didn't even notice his mistake. Kagome rolled her eyes decided not to sit him this time. He was being very testy lately and she didn't have the patience to put up with his mood swings tonight.

Kagome decided to try and get some rest, since there was pretty much nothing else to do at this point. She unrolled her sleeping back, and plopped down with a heavy sigh.

"Goodnight Inuyasha." She muttered, not receiving a reply, but not really expecting one in the first place. As she drifted off to sleep, she could only think about how much she missed her friends, and how she couldn't wait for them to come back. She liked being able to spend time alone with Inuyasha, but he had been acting strange lately. Like he was avoiding her… She couldn't put her finger on it, but something was different.

-----

Inuyasha waited for Kagome's breathing to even out, marking the fact that she had finally fallen asleep. He let out a sigh of relief, glad to have some time to himself. He was tired of having to hide from her and ignore her, but he could not let her find out what was really going on.

He breathed in her scent, not missing the extra pheromones that were laced with it. It was her 'time of the month' (the time of the month that she is ovulating- for those of you who didn't get the hint) or in terms that Inuyasha would understand, she was 'in heat.' He hadn't expected it to affect him in such a way, but it was simply too hard to ignore. He was having a difficult time controlling his urges for her. 'What is it about her?' He wondered. 'It's not as if other women affect me this way…' His thoughts were thrown off as another wave of Kagome's intoxicating aroma hit him. Before he knew it, he was on the ground next to her, inhaling the scent in slow, deep whiffs. He gazed at her beautiful features for a moment, and let his eyes roam her figure. 'I have to control myself!' He thought in a panic as he realized what he was doing. By now he was feeling a little uncomfortable in his lower regions, and he could feel it tightening almost painfully by the moment. 'I have to go take care of this.' He thought decidedly. 'Maybe then I can put this all out of my mind for a while.' So he leapt through the tree tops, trying to find a suitable place to relieve himself.

After a good 10 minutes of running, he came to a small river running through the forest.

'This is as good a place as any.' He reasoned as a bounded up into the nearest tree and began to disrobe. As he began to massage himself, he closed his eyes and imagined that it was Kagome who was touching him. He pumped himself harder and faster as he imagined her writhing underneath him, and screaming out his name. "Kagome!" He cried as he threw his head back, finally reaching his climax.

"Enjoying yourself, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha quickly stopped what he was doing, and focused his attention on the voice that called out to him.

"Kikyo…" He breathed. He was blushing madly by now, and he made sure to put all of his clothing back on before he leapt out of the branch to see her. However in his hurry, he failed to realize that he had left tetsusaiga behind…

"Wha-what are you doing here Kikyo?"

"Does it matter? I came here to find you… but it seems you are already a bit preoccupied." She gave him a cold glare. "Have you truly forgotten about me, Inuyasha? Has my reincarnation really managed to take my place in your heart?"

"No! Never! No one can replace you… You know that you will always have a special place in my heart." He replied.

"Then what is this infatuation that you have with her? Sneaking off into the middle of the night to pleasure yourself to the thought of her! Do you love her, or are you really just that pathetic?" She spat.

"I-I… I don't love her!" Inuyasha yelled. 'Or do I?' He thought to himself.

"Then leave her." She said sternly. "I can give you everything she never could." By now Inuyasha noticed that she was slowly making her way closer and closer to him. "I can set you free." She whispered as she leaned up and reached around his neck, pulling off the prayer beads and throwing them to the ground.

"So just… forget about her." She said just before passionately kissing him on the lips.

Inuyasha froze. He didn't want to be doing this. 'Is it possible that I am really in love with Kagome?' He roughly shoved Kikyo away from him.

"No! Kikyo, you do hold a special place in my heart, but I just don't feel that way about you anymore! I'm sorry, but I have to get back to Kagome!"

"Inuyasha! You soul belongs to me! Mark my words, someday I will kill you AND your precious bitch Kagome!" She screamed at his retreating figure. She watched him as he stopped his retreat and the muscles in his shoulders began to twitch. Then suddenly her expression changed from one of anger to horror. A full demon Inuyasha had a hand around her throat as he slashed her open with the other, effectively ridding the world of her presence. He threw her lifeless body to the ground. No remorse was evident in his features. Just then a soft breeze blew through the forest, stirring up the leaves and carrying a soft, rather pleasant scent to Inuyasha's nose. An evil grin crossed over his face as he propelled off the ground, and soared through the skies, eagerly seeking his destination.

----

Kagome bolted upright in her sleeping bag.

'Something's not right.'

She could feel her soul merging together with its other piece, finally becoming one again. 'How did this happen? I-is Kikyo… dead? I have to tell Inuyasha!' As much as she disliked Kikyo, she knew that this was an important matter and she couldn't simply forget about it. Inuyasha deserved to know.

"Inuyasha!" She called out, scanning the tree tops for his body. But he wasn't there. "Inuyasha?" She called out timidly again, knowing that he wouldn't answer. 'Oh no. Maybe he was with Kikyo! And if Kikyo is dead, he could be in trouble too!' She thought as she bolted off the ground, running straight into the forest. "Inuyasha!" She called out repeatedly, in her desperate search for him. After just a few moments of running, she saw him approaching her, bouncing from tree top to tree top, as he usually did. "Inuyasha! I'm so glad you're…. here." As Kagome said this, she realized that Inuyasha wasn't exactly himself. He landed directly in front of her, and when she saw the jagged purple stripes along his face, and the blood shot eyes, she knew what was wrong with him. "Inuyasha…" She stepped back, and tripped over a rock, falling flat on her butt. Inuyasha seized this opportunity, and pounced on her. "Sit!" Kagome yelled. She knew that it would hurt, since she was underneath him, but it was the only way to stop him and subdue his demon blood. Only this time when she said it… nothing happened. "Sit!" She yelled, praying that this time it would save her. But again the spell did not work. She cautiously glanced up at his necklace, only to find that he wasn't wearing one. 'Oh my god! How did he… when?' She thought frantically. She tried to wiggle her way out of his grasp, but he seemed unaffected by it. If anything he just held on tighter. "Please Inuyasha… don't kill me. We're friends… remember? Try to remember!" But Inuyasha paid no attention. Little did Kagome know, Inuyasha had no plans on killing her. In fact, his thoughts were far from it. And that fact became painstakingly clear when she felts Inuyasha's clawed hand slowly slide itself up her thigh and under her skirt. Her breath hitched when his hand reached its destination, and Kagome finally realized what he was going to do.

"No! Inuyasha stop!" She yelled as she thrashed wildly. 'He's going to rape me?' She thought to herself.

Inuyasha was angered by her protests and dug his claws into the tender flesh of her leg. She tried to muffle her scream, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of hearing it, but it didn't seem to have any effect on him either way. His used his other clawed hand to rip her shirt off, leaving it in a shredded pile on the ground. 'This can't be happening! There has to be some way to stop him!' She remembered the only other thing that had ever stopped him from transforming was a kiss… certainly that wouldn't work in this situation though, right? Before she could test it out, Inuyasha beat her to the punch. He forcefully pressed his lips tightly against hers, digging his claws into her shoulder blade when she struggled to turn her head. He sunk his fangs into her lower lip, prying her mouth open and shoving his tongue through. She continued struggling, but he brought one of his clawed hands up to her head and held it in place. He settled his body firmly on top of hers, and began grinding himself against her. She could now feel his full erection, and if there was any mistake about his intent beforehand there certainly wasn't any now. Kagome took the last opportunity for escape that she had, and swiftly brought her knee up between his legs. He stopped what he was doing as a gust of air escaped his lungs, and she shoved him off of her, and made a mad dash through the forest. 'If his beads of subjugation are gone, he can no longer use the well. All I have to do is make it to the well, and I am home free.'

-End of Flashback-

Kouga was sitting on his favorite thinking rock, daydreaming of the wonderful girl that he referred to as 'his woman.' It was late and the rest of the pack was already sleeping, but he just couldn't seem to take his mind off of her. He may not know her as well as he would like to, but he was convinced that he was in love with her. He loved her more than life itself.

'If only there was some way to make her understand how much she means to me… She would leave that stupid mutt and we would live together in peace.' He lightly scented the air, picking up traces of her sweet scent on the breeze.

'She's near by.' He thought, wondering if now was a good time to pay her a visit.

'Now seems like a good time indeed.' He thought as he picked up another scent mixed in with her usual one. 'She's in heat.' A smile crossed his face as the thought of her agreeing to have his pups crossed his mind. He knew it was a long shot, but he could always extend the offer...

Suddenly the smile was replaced by a frown and look of terror as he the heavy scent of her blood and traces of fear finally made its way to his nostrils. 'That's Kagome's blood!' He thought as he ran in her direction at break neck speeds. 'Hold on a little longer Kagome. I promise I will save you!'

(Back to present time with Inuyasha and Kagome- where the story actually BEGAN…)

Inuyasha slammed Kagome's back into the tree trunk behind her, widening the gash that he had inflicted upon her shoulder previously. He was obviously angered over the fact that she had tried to escape from him. He once again pressed himself against her, crushing her against the tree. She could barely breathe at this point- she was still worn out from running- and he left her no wiggle room. The tears continued to slide down her cheeks, but he paid them no heed. He moved back slightly, just enough to look at her body. Her shirt had been long forgotten back in the forest, and the only thing covering her chest was a lacy black bra. When Kagome noticed him staring at her exposed cleavage, she attempted to cover herself. Inuyasha was already reaching out for them however, roughly massaging her breasts through the material. She whimpered, pleading with him to stop, but this only seemed to excite him further. His claws traced down the sides of her stomach all the way to her hips, leaving raised welts and a few trails of blood in their wake. She no longer held back her screams, and cried out at the painful sensation. When he started to try and remove her skirt however, she lost it completely. She started throwing punches at him and attempting to kick him. He was unharmed, but frustrated with her actions. He removed her from the tree, and threw her to the ground. He then stood over her, and began to remove his own clothing.

'Now's my last chance!' She thought as she ducked out from under his legs and once again tried to run deeper into the forest. She knew that she wouldn't get very far –Inuyasha was much faster than her, especially in full demon form- but she had to give it a shot. She was not willing to give up and allow herself to be raped. 'If it's going to happen, then it's going to happen, and there's nothing that I can do about it. But I refuse to go down without a fight.' She hadn't gotten very much farther when she collided into someone's chest. She stumbled back a bit, but managed to catch herself. Thinking that it was Inuyasha, she screamed and turned around, trying desperately to escape. A pair of strong arms enveloped her from behind, and she thrashed about wildly screaming as more tears poured from her eyes.

"Kagome! It's only me! Are you okay?" Came Kouga's gentle voice. At the sound, Kagome stopped her struggling. "Kagome, you have to tell me what's wrong." He said seriously. He growled after taking notice of her wounds, and her state of dress- or lack thereof. She had several deep gashes running along her arms, legs, and torso. He skirt was ripped and tattered, and her shirt was non-existent.

"H-he tried to rape me." She whispered out, still panicky. She knew that he would catch up with her any moment, and now he might kill Kouga too.

"WHO?" Kouga yelled, outraged. He began to sniff her over, looking for any traces of the scent of whoever did this to her. He growled deep in his throat when the only scent that he picked up was Inuyasha's. And from the smell of it, he had been turned on. "Was it Inuyasha?" He asked through grit teeth. "Tell me Kagome, did that mutt do this to you?"

Kagome slowly nodded her head as another tear-drop fell from the tip of her nose and hit the cold dirt below. "Please… get out of here…" She whispered. "He will kill you."

"What? And leave you here with that damn dog so that he can finish what he started? Never! Don't worry Kagome; I will protect you from him." Kouga stated proudly.

"Kouga, you don't understand. Inuyasha- he's… he's"

"Going to kill you." Inuyasha finished. Kouga and Kagome both turned to face the very pissed off, full demon Inuyasha. 'That's the first thing I have heard him say all night.' Kagome thought to herself.

"What's with you, mutt? You don't smell like a hanyou…" Kouga said as he placed Kagome gently on the ground, taking a protective stance in front of her.

"He's in his full demon form." Kagome informed him. "I'm surprised that he even spoke. His demon blood is too much for him to handle when it takes over. He really doesn't have much control over himself." Inuyasha lunged at Kouga, slashing the air as Kouga narrowly dodged his attack.

'He really is a lot faster in this form.' Kouga thought, barely sidestepping another slash. Kouga attempted to punch Inuyasha in the head, but Inuyasha caught his fist, and gave him a bone crushing kick to the ribcage. He could feel at least two ribs crack under the force, and there would undoubtedly be some bruising. Inuyasha then used his fist to throw him to the ground, making sure to stomp on the broken ribs as he stepped over Kouga's injured body and made his way to Kagome.

"Inuyasha, please. Stop." She cried out as he grabbed her injured shoulder, forcing her to the ground.

"Mine!" He yelled before he kissed her and tackled her to the ground. Kouga found the strength to pull himself to his feet, overcoming his injuries and making his way over to the two. He tore Inuyasha off of Kagome's injured body, and then slammed him back into the ground.

"Don't- touch-her." Kouga ground out. Kagome looked to her savior with appreciation before she passed out from pain and blood loss. Kouga was overcome by anger at the fact that Inuyasha had hurt her so badly. But he was also upset with himself for not reaching her in time to save her from having to suffer.

'I'm sorry Kagome. Please forgive me.' He vowed to do whatever it took to save her, no matter what.

That's a wrap! Review, and I'll post more by tonight (or early tomorrow at the latest.)But I need a decent amount of reviews. It takes a long time to write this stuff, so a short review isn't too much to ask in return, right? Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed!
