Hello everyone! Here is the first chapter to my long awaited story behind Liquid Nitrogen. Inuyasha and crew do not belong to me but the story idea is! Hope you enjoy and without further delay my story!

'Blood, smell blood. No! Mate's blood, must help mate!'

Inuyasha ran towards the well where he smelled Kagome's blood was coming from. Never before had he heard his youkai self, but he could never have agreed more with him. Kagome was in trouble and would not let her down.

Arriving in the clearing his heart nearly stopped, the sight instantly drove his youkai to the surface. No longer did he need to hold back, he knew that this time would be different. He could feel his Youkai's anger at seeing what he viewed as his mate harmed.

'No one harms mate. Must kill all who dare to harm mate!'

Looking again at Kagome as she lay next to the tree where she had been thrown, no more thinking was needed, now was the time to act. Quickly he took down the barriers holding his youkai under the surface and removed his sword. Watching as if from the side of the battle as his youkai engaged in a battle with one whom he had thought he could trust.

*** Kagome ***

Kagome watched as Inuyasha transformed and then engaged in battle with Koga. They had all thought that Koga was harmless, in that he would never harm her, they were wrong.

Koga had caught her unaware just as she climbed out of the well. At first Kagome thought nothing of it, until he grabbed her hard. She fought him as hard as she could when she felt his claws dig in and tried to kiss her.

'What a time to have not had a knife, or something! If I get out of this I'm going to have Inuyasha teach me how to wield a blade.'

Returning to the task at hand she decided to try using her miko powers, but was uncertain if she could. Every other time she had used her powers had been while she was using her bow as well. Deciding to try only a little at first she found that while yes, it worked, sort of, Koga didn't let go of her. Instead he all it did was to make him mad and he started to use his other hand to make slashes at her, drawing blood on several occasions.

Kagome continued to use her miko powers in an attempt to get free, however this only made him madder, so her threw her at a tree. Kagome screamed once on impact and then was silent.

*** Inuyasha ***

Inuyasha could never remember ever having been so mad at Koga, before when Koga had made his claim on Kagome he had only been upset recognizing that Koga wasn't completely serious. Sometimes he even looked forward to when the wolf would show up, to practice and release frustrations built up from not revealing his true feeling to Kagome. Now all he could feel towards Koga was utter loathing.

"Grrr. You hurt mate, now must die!"

Inuyasha growled. From the start Inuyasha had the upper hand, having two things in his favor. One of those was that he was currently full Youkai, and second that he was of the inu clan. Of all the Youkai clans it was well known that the inu clan was the fiercest when protecting their mates.

Not long after the battle began Koga left with his tail tucked and head bowed showing his submission to the alpha inu. Inuyasha didn't chase Koga; he knew that he would never again try to force Kagome to be his mate. Heck he probably wouldn't come within a league of her until for a very long time.

He turned around as soon as he could no longer sense Koga in the area and walked towards Kagome. Taking off his fire-rat haori as he drew closer to Kagome's curled form he gently placed the piece of cloth over her. Feeling the robe Kagome flinched afraid that Koga had come for more, but calmed when she heard Inuyasha growl.

"Mate, won't harm. Don't be afraid. Will protect you."

Kagome looked up into the face of the one she loved, seeing that he was still full Youkai, but was unafraid. She knew from the fact that he had spoken and comforted her that somehow he was still in control. She quickly drew him to her and cried on his shoulder. He just held her as he rocked back and forth growling softly as he did so trying to calm her down.

Soon her sobbing quieted and she just sat there listening to the comforting sounds of Inuyasha's soft growls. She couldn't help herself she giggled.

"Oy, why are you laughing after you were crying?" he asked

"Sorry, its just so cute the way your growls sound so much like purring. It really cheered me up because it reminded me of when Buyo would do the same thing when I was sad." She replied

"I do not purr! But I guess if it makes you happy I don't mind." He didn't really mind at all, because it had made her smile after having been so scared. Heck he would agree to almost anything just to see her smile right now.

At that moment Kagome realized that Inuyasha was back to normal. She had to ask him if what his youkai had said was true. She hoped that was how he really felt about her. "Inuyasha, before when your youkai was free you said I was your mate. What does that mean?"

Inuyasha froze for a moment wondering if he should tell her or not. Finally he decided that now was a good time to find out if she could ever love him enough to stay with him forever. "Kagome when my youkai said that you were my mate, he meant the one htat I want to be with for the rest of my life. Kagome, Iloveyou,willyoubemymate?" he asked that last part in a rush, afraid that she would reject him.

Well I hope that you enjoyed this the first chapter. I will try to upload the next one soon. Please review and let me know if you like it!
