I do not own Inuyasha.
Kagome awoke to Inuyasha and Miroku cursing.
What did I miss?
Within moments, she was on Inuyasha's back with Miroku, and they found Naraku's castle. Chaos awaited them as Kagome ran to a limp Sango.
She tried tending to her wounds but Naraku would not have it. He laughed at her and mocked that she could do nothing, and Kagome was fed up with it. She aimed her arrow right at him, focusing her anger into the weapon in her hands.
The first arrow grazed his shoulder. The air between them was thick and the wind started to pick up at Kagome's raw power. The second arrow pierced his chest, but he disappeared, leaving a strong wind in his wake. She felt Inuyasha's arm wrap around her small waste, keeping her still.
When the wind and dust cleared, the castle was gone.
"It was a phantom castle. Just another one of Naraku's tricks."
The moment Kagome fell to her knees, she passed out.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
When she did wake up, she could hear rain. Looking around, she couldn't figure out where she was. Standing up she realized she was in her underwear and couldn't find her bag.
"Sango? Inuyasha?"
It was Inuyasha who came and blushed on the spot.
"Oh, so you're finally awake-"
"Where are my clothes?"
"The villagers took them because they were torn up. But uh, I'm going to get Sango. Here."
He tossed her the top of his kimono and Kagome wrapped it around herself. Sango came soon after and tore the bottom of her Kimono so Kagome and tie the kimono top tighter.
"Thanks Sango, I owe you won!"
She smiled at her but stood up quickly.
"I smell blood."
Almost as if on queue Kagome stated she felt Kikyo near by.
"Kikyo's near by too. Let's get going before Inuyasha senses her too."
"She has no soul, how can he?"
"Well, my soul feels tied to hers sense she has some of mine. And he can smell her."
When they left the room, they saw Miroku getting money from one villager and Inuyasha sulking.
"What's going on?"
"That rain you heard was blood. We're going to find out what's going on."
Kagome sighed as they made their way toward the mountains.
If it's not one thing, it's another.
It took them less than an hour to get on top of the mountain, and they found a small mansion. A strong thick air caused Sango to crumble first, so Kagome stayed behind with her and Shippo, as Inuyasha and Miroku moved on.
"Kagome, why isn't this affecting you?"
"I honestly don't know."
After a while, Kagome started to feel Kikyo's presence as she became closer, or she was already inside, she didn't know which. After a moment of deliberation, she decided to head inside herself.
"I'm going inside, something doesn't feel right. Shippo, get Sango off this top of the mountain, she can't breath much more of this."
Grabbing a bow and a bag of arrows she headed into the cave. After reaching the end, she spotted Miroku clutching the wall.
"Miroku! Are you alright?"
"I'll be fine. But we have to stop Inuyasha. That demon is strong, but there's something about this place; if Inuyasha doesn't stop, he could become fused with that demon."
"Fused?"
Inuyasha was fighting adamantly, but the demon kept healing itself. Just then, Kagome found who he was protecting.
"Inuyasha! We have to get out of here! Miroku and Sango are sick, and you could be fused with that thing!"
"I don't care, just leave!"
"WHY ARE YOU BEING SELFISH? SHE'S ALREADY DEAD! AND IF YOU WAIT LONG ENOUGH, WE WILL BE TOO!"
"I'M GOING TO PROTECT KIKYO!"
She fought back tears as she jumped out of the whole and down into the pit.
"Kagome, where are you going?"
"I have to get her body because DUMBASS OVER HERE would rather kill us all for her. I swear to Kami Inuyasha, I'm LEAVING when we're out of here!"
Before she could reach Kikyo's body, the woman stood up and released an arrow, breaking the seal on the cave. Rushing air brought her up a long with the bodies of demons.
Before she could fly away, Inuyasha's hand grabbed onto her wrist.
"Inuyasha! Please-"
"Kagome! Are you alright?"
"Yeah!"
Just then, the air stop, and a bright light appeared where the demon stood. When the light disappeared, Naraku was there, apparently sucking in the huge demon.
"Inuyasha, the girl who broke the seal, Kikyo, did so under my command but of her own free will. This girl gave me a new stronger body. She wants you dead. And yet, you still go to her. But there's the other girl, the other Kikyo, who loves you and yet you leave her. Stupid, stupid boy."
Inuyasha growled at Naraku as he saw Naraku pick up Kikyo's body. And fell to his knees as Naraku disappeared.
"Kikyo.."
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Kagome stomped back to the well, Inuyasha at her heels.
"Kagome-"
"No!"
"But-"
"NO!"
"Listen here-"
"NO, YOU LISTEN. I've been by your side since I unpinned YOU from the tree. And yet, you constantly risk my life, your life, and our friends' lives for someone who's DEAD! I'm going home to my mother, my friends, my school, and my LIFE!"
And with that she jumped down the well, hating the half of her that wanted him to come chase her.
She climbed back up the well and noted that her family seemed to be asleep.
Wow, its midnight! I better get to bed.
She changed into an oversized t-shirt and looked down at the top of Inuyasha's kimono.
He'll come back for it.
Whatever, I don't care.
As soon as she fell on her bed, a pain hit her site. She bit her lip and tried to focus on something else.
What's going on?
What's happening to me?
Visions flashed in her head of Kikyo and Inuyasha kissing, happy, and in love.
The pain in her heart stopped, but the pain in her heart was another story.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Kagome awoke up to the house empty yet again as Souta was at school, her mom at work, and grandpa at the home playing bingo with his friends.
That just means my friends are here as well. I guess I better get dressed and get my homework.
She looked into her closet and pulled out her hamper to dump all of her dirty clothes into. After picking out something to wear, she showered and towel dried her hair.
Kagome wore a jean dress with a thick light brown belt to emphasize her waist and matching calf length boots.
With a smile to her reflection, she took a quick sprits of perfume, and went to catch a bus to the school.
When she got off, she went straight for the office to collect schoolwork. Out of the office however, she ended up bumping into Hojo.
"Kagome! You're on break?"
"Yeah I had to come collect my homework real quick."
"Good luck in science, I heard it was really hard this week."
Kagome sighed and grimaced but offered a smile with a good bye and a promise to call him later.
She got a majority of her homework done, most of it being mainly reading assignments and notes. When she flipped open her phone she looked at the picture of her family, including her, and sighed.
I can never be normal again.
With that in mind, she searched for Hojo's number, and called it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Hojo, it's Kagome!"
"Kagome,"
She could hear his smile.
"I didn't think you would call."
Kagome pouted.
"Why not?"
"Haha., I don't know. Maybe I thought it was too good to be true."
"Awe, poor Hojo."
"Yeah, what are you doing right now?"
"Taking a break from homework."
"I haven't started yet to be honest. Is science that hard?"
"No, mainly it's a lot of tedious notes."
"Well that's good."
Before she could reply, her bedroom door bust open and Inuyasha stood with his arms crossed.
"Inuyasha!"
"Excuse me?"
She shut her phone and stood up to half demon.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"You have my kimono! And, I'm here to take you back home."
"Whatever! I'm not going back."
"Than give me the shards!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Inuyasha!"
"Kagome!"
"Sit!"
She sighed at the sound of him hitting her floor and took out her back pack.
"I knew you-"
"I'm not going! I forgot some stuff out of here."
"You are too!"
"You don't tell me what to do! Go shout at your dead girl!"
"You're being an idiot!"
"Says the guy chasing around talking clay!"
"You're such a bitch!"
"You're such a dick!"
They both stood face to face, panting at each other. Within seconds, his hands were in her hair, his mouth pressed fiercly against hers. She moaned into the kiss as her back hit her bed and her hands found his ears.
He broke for air first, but his lips didn't stop at hers. Instead, he attacked her neck, making her moan more.
"I-Inuyasha?"
He grunted in acknowledgement, his hands crawling up her dress.
"I'll go."
His motions stopped and she almost whined.
"You will?"
"Yeah."
He gave her a hard kiss and let her sit up to repack her bag. She chose more shorts and shirts and a different pair of shoes. Her homework was squeezed in there along with her bathing supplies.
She dumped the bag on his lap.
"Let's go Inuyasha!"
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
The moment they got out of the well however, they were surrounded by wolves. After Inuyasha attacked a few, the rest turned their heads to the sky and howled low and long. A small tornado blasted through and a tall boy appeared with long brown hair and pretty blue eyes.
He's cute!
"Inuyasha, he has three shards, one in his right arm, and the rest in his legs!'
"Who the hell do you think you are mutt face?"
"Did you just call me a mutt?"
One track mind much Inuyasha?
Inuyasha attacked him, but Koga was too fast.
"Inuyasha! He's using the power of the jewel shards! The ones in his right arm and in his legs!"
"Why didn't you say so?"
"I DID YOU IDIOT!"
Just then, Koga turned to her and she gulped loudly.
I don't like that look.
Inuyasha attacked again, about to use a power Sango told her about called Wind Scar. Koga sensed the danger though, and ran away.
The next day, bright and early, Inuyasha wanted to go searching for him to get his shards. Kagome was on his back as he kept sniffing the air, tracing the scent.
Suddenly, they were all attacked by the wolves, but it was a trap to get everyone away from her, because the next thing she knew, Koga had his arms wrapped around her waist and he was climbing up the mountain.
As soon as she knew it, she was at a waterfall, and a den, full of hundreds of wolves, and about fifty demon wolves who looked human like Koga.
"Where are we?"
He tossed her inside the cave on a bed of hay.
She crossed her arms and tucked her legs under her, growling at anyone who got too close as they asked for her body parts to eat.
"This woman is off limits. I'll kill anyone who tries to take a bite."
For once, these jewel shards are saving my life.
Just after they left the cave, Koga pounced on her, resting between her legs, which felt too close due to the fact she was still in a dress.
He sniffed her neck and frowned.
He sniffed lower and smirked.
"You're liking this."
"I am not!"
"You're smell says otherwise."
Kagome blushed.
"You smell like that mutt. Have you two-"
"No!"
"Good, because I'm going to make you my woman."
"WHAT?"
"Wolves mate for life, so you better get used to being by my side."
Kagome blushed red and did the only thing that came natural at the moment.
She slapped him, hard.
"I will not be your mate! Besides, I'm sort of already seeing someone."
"That mutt-"
"No! A boy from where I'm from!"
"It doesn't matter; I'll eliminate all competition until I am the only one left."
"Even then I wouldn't count on it!"
He got off of her and pulled her roughly.
"Come on, we have to go hunt those birds."
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"ARE YOU READY MEN?"
"YEAH!"
"So this is their nesting place?"
"Yeah, and one has a jewel shard."
Kagome nodded her head.
The next thing she knew, he had her by the waist and was climbing up the cliff at a fast pace.
"Kagome, which one has the jewel shard?"
"It's up top!"
Things were happening quickly, one moment the bird with two men was going to eat them, the next Koga left her on the ground.
"Don't worry," one of the two men told her "we'll take care of you sister."
"Sister? I'm not-"
"You're Koga's woman now, that means your family."
"I am not!"
Suddenly, two of those weird birds were coming at her, she raised her arms above her head and braced for impact, never suspecting the two birds to fall, cut in half, and Inuyasha standing a few feet from her, looking smug.
Kagome saw him and lunged at him, wrapping her arms around his middle, and tucking her head into his chest.
I've missed him.
"Step off Inuyasha!"
Kagome noticed Miroku wrapping his prayer beads around his hand signifying he had the birds trapped in his wind tunnel.
But it wasn't him who spoke; it was Koga, who appeared across from them.
"Why should I flea bag?"
"Because I claim her! I'm in love with you Kagome!"
Her heart froze and her body tensed.
He hasn't known me for a full day and yet he's in love with me?
Why can't Inuyasha be like that?
What am I saying?
Well, may I could learn to love Koga.
Maybe-
"You said it yourself, he doesn't care about you! He doesn't love you! Wipe your hands clean of the mutt and come with me!"
Kagome moved towards him but stopped. She looked back at Inuyasha who was staring at her intently.
Suddenly, the pull in her heart made her look up into the sky.
"Koga, it's there, fifty feet up."
It didn't take long for both Inuyasha and Koga to finish the demon. But Koga ended up injured. Kagome cradled his head in her lap as he clutched his forearm.
"Kagome, what are you doing!"
"Oh shut up Inuyasha, can't you see he's hurt?"
She sent Koga off with his tribe and watched them go. When she turned back around she noticed Inuyasha was standing on the other side of the small cliff. That's when Sango decided to step in.
"Kagome, Koga claimed you which is like courting you, but you don't have to accept. In demons, it's never set until you agree. Were you?"
"I don't know to be honest. Koga was so good to me. He never yelled, he protected me, never called me stupid. He was kind, gentle, even loving. But even though he loves Kikyo, my heart still feels for Inuyasha."
"You may want to reassure him or something Kagome. He's very hurt he risked his life to come get you, and you would rather stay with Koga."
Kagome nodded her head and kneeled behind Inuyasha, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha."
"For what?"
"For worrying you. And thanks, for saving me."
"I bet you would've liked it if I hadn't come at all."
"What?"
"I can smell him all over you. I bet that's all it takes. A few sweet words-"
"Inuyasha, are you jealous? Does it bother you that he said he loved me?"
She could feel his whole body tense.
"Why should I care?"
"If it makes you feel better, nothing happened. Well, nothing major."
"Major?"
"Just what do you take me for?"
They were both standing in each other's faces.
"One that sleeps with wolves!"
"I did not! You're such a jerk!"
"Well if I'm such a jerk, WHY DON'T YOU GO WITH KOGA?"
"I'M GOING HOME!"
