I hope you like this new chapter. Sorry about the cliffy but I just wanted to see the reactions.

Disclaimer: This is getting tiresome I do not own Inuyasha I only own Kane and the others not from Inuyasha.

Family can be a pain…

"Kouga, you finally show yourself" Kane replied motioning for her sword.

"What do you want, asshole?" Takumi growled in the demon language.

"You shouldn't talk to your leader that way, exile" Kouga hissed.

"You're no leader you're a murderer!" Kane growled in his direction.

"Why you little..." Kouga replied as he ran towards Kane.

"Takumi go get the others" Kane said blocking Kouga's attack.

"But-"

"I'll be fine just go!" Kane replied pushing him towards the direction of camp.

"O-ok!" Takumi ran off towards the camp to raise the alarm.

"So you're trying to be brash now are you little brother?" Kane asked watching Takumi head towards the others.

"Shut up! You're no sister of mine" Kouga growled forming into a hurricane.

"Bring it," Kane whispered preparing herself for battle.

Meanwhile Takumi ran towards camp to awake the others…

"Oi!" Takumi came as an incredible speed to the group. "Kouga showed up down by the river!"

"What?!" All the gang except Katsumi and Keiji yelled at Takumi in disbelief.

"He showed up at the riverside! Takumi repeated urgently. "Kane's down there now but I don't think she can hold out by herself for long!" And with that, he sped off back to the river.

"Lets go!" Inuyasha replied as the group followed Takumi to the river.

Back at the river Kane was holding up fine but, she couldn't hold up for long. Kane although Koga had jewel shards and was extremely fast she was able to counter his attacks but she wasn't able to hurt him because she couldn't get close to him.

"Jewel shards huh, you're weak" Kane laughed.

"I'm not weak; you're the one who's weak!" Kouga growled.

"Even during training you were weak. You were weak then and you're weak now!" Kane growled circling around Kouga.

"Wench you'll pay!" Kouga growled as he slashed Kane's stomach.

Kane tried to block the attack but she got overconfident and lost balance. By the time she noticed Koga was right in front of her with her sword in his hand. He slashed her stomach with her own sword.

"Ahhhhh!" Kane replied as she fell on the ground.

"Get the fuck away from her!" Takumi yelled, lunging at Kouga.

"Kane!" Mai said running towards Kane and putting Kane's head in her lap.

"Ta-ku-mi" Kane gasped in pain.

Once the others and Takumi saw Kane in pain and badly injured nothing stopped them from kicking Koga's ass. Inuyasha used his wind scar but it didn't work against Koga because of his speed. They all tried but it was futile Koga was just too fast. They were all wet from being drenched in the river and others with their own blood from scratches on their arms and chests.

"Takumi, we have to finish this soon and help Kane she's in real pain" Mai said worried about her sister.

"Ta-ku-mi use your power" Kane panted.

"Take this you asshole!" Katsumi jumped out of the trees and caught Kouga off guard. She kicked him in the back of the head, the force of the attack sending him flying into the air.

"Die, you bastard!" Takumi barked, swinging his sword in the direction of Kouga. A powerful attack was unleashed and closed in around Kouga.

"You'll pay for this all of you. This isn't over yet!" Kouga hissed as he ran off barely escaping the attack.

"Well he's gone" Inuyasha said sheathing his sword.

"Inuyasha get me my backpack we really need to dress Kane's wounds" Kagome said looking over Kane's wounds.

"Alright" Inuyasha replied as he ran back towards camp.

"Kagome how's Kane" Ronin asked standing next to Katsumi.

"She's wounded pretty badly, but I think she'll be ok" Kagome replied sadly.

"She'll be fine." Takumi growled, glaring in the direction Kouga disappeared into and sheathed his sword. "She's strong."

"Here you go Kagome" Inuyasha said as he returned with Kagome's backpack.

"Ok this will only take a sec" Kagome replied as she addressed Kane's wounds. "There she'll be fine now, but she shouldn't move for a few days."

Takumi knelt down beside Kane. "I knew I shouldn't have left you alone." He said softly, stroking her forehead.

"I'm...alright...I'll be o..k" Kane replied between gasps.

"That's not the point." Katsumi whispered behind Takumi. "The point is that you were seriously hurt, even for a demon."

"I..." Kane began only to be cut off by Ronin.

"You're a great fighter but marching blindly into a fight isn't good not even for u" Ronin said sadly.

"You shouldn't try to fight on your own." Takumi shifted her head into his lap.

"That's what the rest of us are here for." Katsumi said soothingly. "To help."

"Just remember that next time ok. You'd better get some rest it's the only way you'll get your strength back" Kagome replied stroking her forehead.

"Alright" Kane replied as she fell asleep on Takumi's lap.

"We'd better get her back to the fire." Katsumi whispered a moment later. "If she gets too cold she could get an infection."

Takumi nodded and lifted her gingerly, slowing walking back in the direction of the camp. It took them a little while to get to sleep. Kagome wasn't enjoying covering all their wounds but thankfully only Kane had suffered serious injuries.

"Here Takumi lay her on my sleeping bag" Kagome said as she motioned towards her sleeping bag.

Takumi didn't say anything as he did what he was told.

"You'd better watch yourself." Takumi warned.

"Don't worry about me, you should worry about Kane I mean she is your fiancée" Kagome smiled tenderly

"I won't leave Kane alone again." He growled.

"I know you won't she lucky to have a fiancé like you by her side" Kagome replied as she fell asleep under a tree Inuyasha was perched on.

"He was so sure you wanted Kagome, you know." Takumi spoke to Inuyasha softly, not bothering to look up at him.

"I did but then I fell in love with my mate" Inuyasha replied with his eyes closed.

"And he was so sure that Kagome wanted you too." Takumi said softly.

"Believe me she did but I just realized too late, but I don't regret anything" Inuyasha sighed

"That's good." Takumi nodded. He slid to the ground. "But now that you're mated, Kouga will be even more persistent for Kagome."

"I know, but Kouga doesn't know I have a mate" Inuyasha replied

Takumi looked up at Inuyasha after that. "He hasn't been able to smell her on you?"

"Well its because I've been traveling a lot, searching for the sacred jewel shards and I haven't had a lot of time to spend with my mate" Inuyasha sighed looking down at Takumi.

"Then...why do you keep searching for them instead of being with your mate?" Takumi asked confused.

"That's not important right now. We'd better get some rest we'll have to stay here for awhile until Kane's wounds get better." Inuyasha replied crossing his arms into the sleeves of his haori.

"Thank you for helping Kane" Takumi replied.

"No problem" Inuyasha replied closing his eyes.

"Good night Inuyasha" Takumi said snuggling next to Kane but not so close because of her wounds.

"G'night Takumi" Inuyasha replied glancing over everyone before falling asleep in the tree…

Well there it is I thought it was good but I just want to know what you thought. It took me awhile I co-authored it with Hopeless Maiden but sadly it's our last chapter together. It will probably take me awhile to update the next chapter is a little long.
