Sorry for the long wait guys! I had a lot of make up work to do. Having a nervous breakdown at breakfast in front of your parents doesn't help either...

Thanks for the reviews guys! It made me super happy to see all of them.

Diamond Rose 10: Thank you! The plot line's about to have a couple twists...

Breeluv: Kouga gets what he deserves, don't worry. Inu Kag forever!

kkiibbaa: LOL :)

Boarai: Thank you so much

loveless an the living fantasy: Oh no, this isn't the end. InuYasha still hasn't proved himself

KiraraGoesMeow: You are writing to a hardcore "Kikyou-hater" and "Kouga-lover." But anyway I'm glad you like the story!

ENOUGH RANTING! ONTO CHAPTER FOUR!

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or the characters. All rights go to Rumiko Takahasi.

INU: Stupid wench. Course you don't own me. I'm so amazing.

Lovemondotrasho: Yeah uh-huh. that's why

Chapter four: Kouga Vs. InuYasha

"So, you're with that mutt now," Kouga said softly.

"Kouga-," Kagome started.

InuYasha's hold on Kagome's waist tightened. He could feel his inner demon taking over. "So, you came back to hurt Kagome some more?" asked InuYasha.

"At least I didn't break her heart or lead her on!"

"Listen you stupid piece of shit, YOU. HIT. KAGOME. For four effing months!"

"DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF? YOU DON'T EVEN DENY YOU BROKE HER HEART OVER AND OVER!"

Kagome turned to InuYasha, wondering what he had to say for himself. He closed his eyes, exhaled and released Kagome.

"Yes, I admit that I've hurt Kagome in the past, but I've always loved her."

Kagome wanted to believe InuYasha so badly. She almost did too, with his amber orbs gazing so earnestly at her. She opened her mouth when Kouga interrupted her.

"Hmm. Always loved her?," Kouga mocked, "Kagome, how are you sure he's telling the truth. I mean, he seemed pretty happy with Kikyou. Kagome, there's no denying, you look a hell a lot like Kikyou"

Kagome's eyes were brimming with tears. Did he really only confess because I look like his ex girlfriend? "InuYasha, is Kouga right? Did you only confess because I look like Kikyou?"

InuYasha turned to her in horror. How could she suggest such a thing? "Kagome, I love you!"

"Please, saying it isn't enough," scoffed Kouga.

"Shut up you mangy wolf!"

"Make me, mutt face." Kouga taunted.

InuYasha lept at Kouga, but he managed to dodge it. The two demons were on the ground, fighting over Kagome. InuYasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga. Kouga looked frightened. He didn't like the look of the blade or the maniac glint in InuYasha's eyes. He twirled the blade in his hand.

"Any last words, Kouga?"

"INUYASHA, SIT!" shouted Kagome.

InuYasha fell face first onto the ground. He lay there, sprawled and twitching. Kouga looked up at Kagome in relief.

"Thank you, Kagome."

"KAGOME! WHAT THE HELL?"

Kouga and InuYasha started arguing again. Kagome put a hand to her head. I hate to admit it, but things were a lot more peaceful when no one knew...

"SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!" She yelled.

Both of them looked taken aback.

"Kagome," they both said.

Kagome sighed, "InuYasha, you've broken my heart on several occasions, led me on, then told me you always loved me? I need time to think."

InuYasha looked at his feet, ashamed.

"That's right mutt, so leave."

"You fucking bastard-"

"KOUGA! you loved me, but beat me for four months, you have no right to say anything. In fact, consider us, over."

"Princess-"

Kagome shuddered. "Don't call me that. Now leave. Both of you." Neither of them moved. "NOW!"

They both dragged themselves out the door, deeply hurt by her words. Kagome sighed and sank into the sofa, unable to shake off what Kouga had said.

Kagome, how are you sure he's telling the truth? I mean, he looked pretty happy with Kikyou. Kagome, there's no denying, you look a hell a lot like Kikyou.

She and Kouga were over, thank the lord, but InuYasha...she needed to think about what she should do as well as someone to vent about this to. She grabbed a jacket and ran out the door.

Sango spit her tea into Miroku's face.

"HE WHAT?"

"Jesus Sango, I need to be careful around you when you have hot tea," Miroku said wiping his face.

"Eh? Oh, sorry Miroku!" Sango said dashing into another room.

"You mean he actually confessed? Are you sure?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah," Kagome sighed.

"You don't seem too happy about it. I thought you liked InuYasha."

"I'm not so sure I believe him."

"Why not?" asked Sango helping Miroku.

"Well, Kouga walked in on us and-"

"KAGOME! NAUGHTY GIRL!" shouted Miroku.

Kagome blushed cherry red and Sango slapped him across the face. "Dumbass, she meant InuYasha kissed her when Kouga walked in."

"Oh," said Miroku rubbing his sore cheek, "So Kagome,(evil smile) how was it?"

"Miroku!" whined Kagome, "I came to you guys to rant, not be interrogated!"

"So what happened after he kissed you?" Sango asked.

"My heart was racing...Then Kouga and InuYasha had a shouting match which resulted in InuYasha holding the Tetsusaiga to Kouga's face."

"Oh my god, then what?" Sango asked.

"I sat InuYasha and made them both leave."

"Do you love him back?" Miroku asked quietly.

"That's the problem, Roku! I do love him but-"

"But what?"

Kagome bit her lip. "What if he only likes me because I look like Kikyou?"

"Please, he and Kikyou broke up months ago. If he still loved her, he'd have gone after her." said Sango.

Kagome's brow furrowed. "Wait, what? InuYasha told me that it's only been a couple weeks."

"Hold on," said Miroku holding his hand up. "InuYasha lied?"

"I guess so."

"Cuz he's been single for a while," added Sango.

"Why would he lie?" asked Kagome.

"I really don't know, Kags," said Sango, "But it's InuYasha. What do you expect?"

"Why would he lie?" Kagome asked again.

"Maybe it's a pride thing?" Miroku suggested.

"But he was pretty happy when Kikyou dumped him," said Sango.

Kagome was confused. He lied about breaking up with Kikyou and he was happy when it happened? I need to talk to him.

"Thanks Sango. Thanks Miroku."

"No problem, Kags. Anytime." they both chimed.

Kagome left Sango and Miroku's, but all she could think about was the fact that InuYasha lied to her.

So InuYasha lied...But why? Leave me a review of what you think so far.

Everyone's favorite Lord makes a brief appearance in the next chapter *fangirl swoon*

Inu: oh god. Here we go again.

Lovemondotrasho: shut up InuYasha. You freaking lied to Kagome.

Kouga: That's right mutt

Lovemondotrasho: Kouga, I love you but don't even get me started.
