Chapter 3: Bitter rivalry pt2

"Inuyahsa! Its been almost an hour, I'm sure you and Miroku are thawed off by now."

Inuyasha laid on his side looking bored as hell. He would occasionally pick his teeth with his pinky claw and look at it.

"I don't know. Hey Bozo! You thawed out yet?"

"I could stay here for a few more minutes Inuyasha."

"See? We're not leaving yet, so just be patient woman."

Kagome was clenching her fists in anger though the look on her face showed annoyance. She closed her eyes and thought. She could sit Inuyasha, but she couldn't do that to Miroku unfortunately. She thought for a few seconds and sighed before making her decision.

"Inuyasha, sit."

SLAM!

"Hey what's the big idea!"

"If you and Miroku don't hurry up I'll say it over and over until your six feet under."

'Yikes don't know what that means but it cant be good.'

"COME ON BOZO! WE'RE LEAVING!"

"Good choice Inuyasha." Kagome smiled as if nothing had occurred.

'That girl could give Naraku lessons.'

When the group got out of the cave the blizzard that suddenly appeared had died down. There was no more snow or black clouds, just clear blue sky.

"Ah feels nice now that it's not snowing huh Inuyasha?"

"Uh yeah sure."

"Let us find Sango before the storm starts up again."

"Good thinking Miroku."

Miroku walked ahead of the group for once hoping to find Sango and apologize for his "rude" behavior...and maybe cope a second feel. Inuyasha was keeping his eyes on Kagome. After what she said in the cave he didn't trust her at the moment. Personally he thought she misused the "S" word a lot of times. But no matter what he still cared for her, even if she was a psycho from the future. Kagome on the other hand walked on as if nothing in the world could bother her. Her face had a smile and she kept humming songs she knew in her time. She would glance at Inuyasha and see the look on his face which she couldn't help but giggle at.

'He's so cute when I scare him like that. But he deserved it for acting like an ass in the cave.'

Then Kagome felt the little tug she felt when a demon was around. Inuyasha also could smell something amiss and reached for Tetsusaiga. He could smell cold wind and there none to be found which put him on high alert.

"Kagome get back!"

Inuyasha shoved her behind him and held the transformed sword ready. His ears twitched constantly trying to hear for any weird noises but all he heard was silence.

"Something's not right here I just know it! I cant see the demon but I know it's here. What I wouldn't give for Sango's slayer sense."

Dol watched them from a high perch camouflaging himself with the snow. He knew they were his mate's friends but wouldn't show himself until they put their weapons away. The half-demon's sword sparked his interest but he was certain a sword like that was either very rare or one of a kind. Inuyasha waited for a couple minutes before continuing onward. He still kept Tetsusaiga out just in case and held Kagome close. That was one of the things he hated. He could never go all out during a fight without worrying about her.

'Humans are so frail. Why do I put up with them?'

"Inuyasha can you still smell the demon?"

"To be honest Kagome, all I smelt was cold wind."

"You went nuts for that! I thought there was an actual demon around."

"There is, I just can't see it. Haven't you noticed Kagome that there's no wind whatsoever and I can smell wind as if we're still in the blizzard?"

"Yeah that's true. Good point."

"Whoever or whatever this demon is, he must be able to turn invisible because I cannot see him."

"All you ever see is money and women Miroku."

"I have no idea what you're talking about Inuyasha."

"Sure monk whatever. Hey there's another cave. How many are on this mountain!"

"I think that's the last one Inuyasha."

"Good im sick of this place."

Inuyasha's ears twitched before he pushed Kagome away and used Tetsusaiga as a shield to block three shurikens.

"Come on out demon, I can smell you so there's no use hiding!"

Inuyasha was answered by absolute silence. His ears twitched occasionally and he held his sword tighter. He saw a shadow of movement and sent a wind scar towards it. The surrounding area was leveled but Inuyasha had missed his target.

'He's fast as hell! I could barely see him even with my vision. This wont end well.'

Sango was trying to enjoy the silky, soft pillows until she heard yelling and an explosion. She bolted upright in the bed and ran to get her slayer suit and the hiraikotsu and fight whatever was outside. She looked around and noticed Dol was no where to be found. She could sense him outside though along with yelling which sounded like.

"Inuyasha? They're here?"

Sango ran towards the entrance and saw Inuyasha holding Tetsusaiga and looking around for something. She knew who it was and casually walked out and greeted the group. Kagome ran up to her and hugged her a little too tight.

"Sango! Your alright! Are you hurt? Where were you? We were worried about you to death."

Kagome kept rambling on and on until Sango placed a finger on her mouth to silence her.

"I am not hurt. I've been here the whole time and I am sorry to worry you."

Inuyasha was still looking around, constantly sniffing the air looking for the hidden demon.

"Sango, there's a demon around here and I can't see him. Can you sense him?"

"Yes I can. Oh and thanks for reminding me about that. Dol come on out."

Dol jumped down from his little perch and walked over to his mate and her friend. He smiled at her and stroked her cheek with the back of his hand.

"You mean he was there the whole time!"

"Yeah I was, and im surprised you couldn't find me."

Inuyasha began grumbling as he sheathed his sword and walked over to the tiny group. He stopped when he smelled him on Sango and her on him.

'He's mated to her? Oh shit, this definitely wont end well.'

Inuyasha extended his clawed hand out and Dol took it. The shook for only a few seconds and stared each other down for a minute.

"So how long?"

"Only yesterday."

"Wow, that was quick."

"I'm surprised too."

Sango knew what they were talking about and blushed, but the blush disappeared when she saw Miroku walk towards the group.

"Sango, may I have a word with you?"

If looks could kill Dol would've crucified Miroku. But the look Sango gave him told him to stay until he did something. Kagome whispered in Inuyasha's ear hoping only they would hear.

"What were you and him talking about?"

Dol spoke which caused Kagome to jump slightly.

"We were talking about me mating Sango."

"You two are mated? Since when?"

"Since yesterday."

"And your name is?"

"Dol young one."

"Im Kagome and this is Inuyasha."

"Nice to meet you both."

Dol couldn't keep his full attention on the two since he kept glancing at Miroku and Sango.

"Something wrong Dol? They're just talking."

"That better be all it is. He touches her and I dance in his organs."

"Yeesh, you demons sure are protective of your mates. You are a demon right?"

"Yes I am."

"What kind? If you don't mind me asking?"

"Not at all, I'm an ice demon."

"Wow and I thought there were only animal type demons."

"There's more kinds than you'll ever know."

Dol know focused his full attention on Miroku and Sango watching them "talk."

"Sango, I want to apologize for my behavior yesterday."

"Really now? Now was it the beating I gave you or the fact that what you did was perverted?"

"A little of both actually. Well I just want to say im sorry."

"Apology accepted Miroku."

"Can I get a hug Sango?"

Sango looked at Dol for a second and hugged Miroku. It wasn't that bad until she felt his hand on her ass. Sango pushed him away, intent on slapping him but she was beaten to the punch as Dol held Miroku against a wall by his throat. Dol's eyes which were icy blue before now were the bluish-black color of a deep bruise. His voice which like Sesshomaru's now was filled with anger, malice, and venom.

"Monk, if you ever touch her in that way again, hell you ever touch her at all, I will have no problems ripping you organs out and hanging you by them. I will spill your blood till it rains down from the sky. I will rip your fucking head off and use your skull as my drinking cup. You will experience deaths so horrible you'd think you were in hell. Do I make myself clear?"

From the look in his eyes Miroku knew he was not joking. This was not the threats of Sesshomaru or Naraku but one of an angered demon protecting his mate. Miroku had no choice but to nod his head yes which was hard seeing as his whole neck was being held. Dol dropped him to the ground and walked away picking up his mate bridal style and walking away with the rest of the group. Kagome wanted to say something about what Dol said but Inuyasha said he probably would've said the same thing if it were his mate. He said it was natural for demons to get violent about stuff like that. Kagome was still worried but she pushed it aside for the moment. Miroku on the other hand was on his hands and knees gasping for breath. He couldn't believe it! His woman, the feisty demon slayer was the mate of a demon! He wouldn't allow it and he knew society wouldn't allow it either. Sango was his woman and everyone knew that. He would face Naraku alone before he let Sango be taken from him, and by a lowlife demon.

'I swear demon, when this is over you'll be wishing you hadn't taken my Sango from me.'
