A/N: I'm glad to see everyone is enjoying this story so far. And hopefully I can continue to make this story exciting! And of course I do not own InuYasha. Now on to the story!

Chapter 4

Kagome waited for hours, but InuYasha still hadn't returned. Kagome didn't know if she should be worried or angry at InuYasha! "So help me InuYasha, when I see you again. I'll either kill you or..."

A knock on the door frame stopped Kagome mid sentence. Instantly Kagome froze, she wasn't expecting anyone this morning. "W-Who's there?" Kagome asked, a little unsure of who would answer.

"It's only me Kagome." Sango said, as she moved the door flap away and entered the hut. "What's wrong Kagome, why do look so scared?"

Kagome wrapped her arms around herself. Just trying to find some comfort in being held. Even if it was only her arms hugging her. "It's nothing Sango. Me and InuYasha just had a little fight, that's all."

Sango could tell there was something more going on. The way her best friend was hugging herself proved that. "Kagome, you and InuYasha fight all the time. And I never she you like this. So spill, why are you so worked up? What's really going on between you two?"

Kagome's eyes started to tear up, as she thought about how happy her and InuYasha were before he returned with the water. "I don't really know myself Sango."

When Sango saw Kagome in tears, she quickly took Kagome in her arms. "Shh Kagome, we'll get through this. Just tell me what happened."

As Kagome explained everything to Sango. InuYasha remained high above in the Sacred tree. He was able to hear and smell if Kagome was in any danger from his spot on a tree branch about half way up the tree. He wanted to return to his new wife, but he still felt terrible about the way he acted. "I'm such an idiot, Kagome only wanted to help. And like always my pride gets in the way. Damn it!" Making a fist, InuYasha punched the branch he was sitting on. "Keh, some husband I'm turning out to be. We haven't been married one day yet." *sigh* "I can just see me as a father, I'll probably mess that up too."

"And what might I ask did you mess up this time InuYasha!?" Miroku asked walking up to the Sacred tree.

"None of your damn business Miroku!"

Miroku shook his head at InuYasha's words. "You know InuYasha, I was hoping you and Kagome could go at least one week with no fighting. But sadly I see one day was to much."

Jumping down from the branch he was sitting on. InuYasha came nose to nose with Miroku. "When I want your help with a problem monk, I'll ask for it!" InuYasha growled out before quickly running off.

As Miroku watched his friend take flight through the trees. He only hoped InuYasha would realize just how much this hurt Kagome. "You still haven't learned my dear friend. Even after she has proven to you time and time again. You still think you're on your own." Miroku decide to go join Sango, maybe Kagome and her could give him an idea of what just happened.

Even though InuYasha wanted to return to Kagome. He knew Sango and Miroku were still with her. Plus he really didn't want to face the monk right now. Knowing his wife was safe InuYasha decided to go for a run, he needed to get his frustrations out. "I need a good fight, why is there never a demon around to fight at a time like this?"

"Like your ugly butt could win a fight with a real demon."

InuYasha slide to stop, he knew that voice all to well. "I knew I smelled something dead."

"Whatever mutt face." Kouga said stopping in front of InuYasha.

"What the hell do you want flee bag?" InuYasha asked crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Well I heard my woman has returned so I figured I'd pay her a little visit."

"Feh, and who is this lucky woman? She must be some crazy bitch to want you flee bag."

"Hey mutt don't call my Kagome crazy." Kouga growled out while shaking his fist high in the air. "Besides I know she can't wait to see me." Before InuYasha could say another word Kouga was gone. "See-ya mutt!" Was all InuYasha heard.

"Like hell she's yours!" InuYasha growled out running after Kouga.

Even without the Shikon jewel shards in his legs Kouga was fast. Which gave him the chance to get to Kagome first. Kagome was in the middle of talking to Sango, when strong arms wrapped around her. "Inu...!?" But when Kagome looked back only to see Kouga's blue eyes.

"K-Kouga...what are you doing here!?"

A smile formed on Kouga's face. "Just came to get my woman that's all." Kouga said tightening his grip around Kagome.

Kagome soon felt her feet leave the ground, a gasp left her lips. Miroku was the one that spoke at that moment. "I think you better let Kagome go Kouga. She really doesn't belong to you."

A growl left Kouga's lips. "Of course she does, I claimed her months ago."

Sango and Miroku, exchanged looks before a flash of red flew by them. Kouga looked down seeing his arms now empty. "Hey, what gives!?" Kouga yelled.

"I'll tell you what gives you bastard! Kagome is mine, so get lost." InuYasha declared with Kagome held tightly against him.

"The hell she is mutt!" This time when Kouga went for Kagome, InuYasha pushed her towards Sango. As InuYasha stood in front of Kagome, arms crossed he spoke. "Doesn't that nose of yours work shit for brains. Cause if it did you would smell my scent on her. Which means I pupped her, plus we're married. So now what are you going to do?"

Kouga's top lip curled up as a growl started to form in his throat. And before Kagome could say a word, Kouga's fist went straight to InuYasha's gut. Even with InuYasha's fast reflexes he didn't have time to dodge Kouga's next attack. Kouga's other fist hit InuYasha hard in the jaw, causing InuYasha to stumble back a few steps.

Kagome covered her mouth with her hands, as a gasp left her lips. She never dreamed Kouga would act like this, after finding that InuYasha and her were married. Unlike the small fights InuYasha and Kouga had before, this one reminded Kagome of the time InuYasha and Kouga were fighting to the death at Naraku's castle.

Kagome couldn't stand watching them fighting. And before Sango know it, Kagome had left her protection, running to InuYasha's aid. And that's when it happened!

Kouga had readied his next attack, but instead of InuYasha, his attack hit Kagome. Kouga's powerful kick went straight to Kagome's stomach. The air left her lungs as she went flying through the air.

InuYasha was still trying to stand straight, as he helplessly watched his wife hit the ground hard. "KAGOME!" InuYasha shouted as he limped to his injured wife. Kouga was about to go to Kagome, when Miroku intervened. It would be best if you left NOW Kouga."

"Y-Yeah." Was Kouga's final words.

Looking back at InuYasha, Miroku slowly approached Sango. "Come on Sango, let's see how bad she's hurt."
