Ch.10
Later that afternoon the four friends made their way into the fairgrounds. Walking up to the ticket booth, they made their purchases and walked into the fair. Seeing the many different carnival games and rides, the group didn't know where to start.
"I'm heading to the Pirate Ship, Who's with me?" Miroku asked. Everyone nodded in agreement and began their adventure. They ended up riding the many different rides and rollercoasters until they threw up, ate the many different carnival foods, and ended up winning too many stuffed animals to carry. All in all it was a great time, and they enjoyed the time they spent together. It was finally dark and close to midnight, all they wanted was to go home and sleep after running around the fair. They made their way to the exit and out into the parking lot heading for Sango's truck. They headed down the many aisles but stopped short of the truck. Leaning against the car was Kikyo, Kouga, Koharu, and Kuranoske. Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha and Miroku just looked at each other before looking back over to the group in front of them.
"Can we help you with something?" Kagome asked knowing exactly what each of them wanted, but obviously were not going to get. Kikyo stepped forward a step, which caused Inuyasha to step in front of her slightly.
"Calm down Inu baby. We're just here to talk," she said with a wink, causing Sango to roll her eyes.
"Like you people ever just want to talk. What do you really want?" Sango asked keeping her eyes off Kuranoske, even as he stood up straight from leaning against the truck.
"You know what we want, but you need to know we wont stop until we do," he started. His full attention was on the girl who was blatantly ignoring his presence. Koharu nodded with Kikyo, and Kouga remained still.
"Don't you guys realize that we're happy? A lot happier then we were with any of you. Don't you see that we have no desire to change that?" Miroku said seriously.
"For real, and we plan to fight for each other and not back down. If it's a fight you want then you're definitely gonna get one," Inuyasha said folding his arms. Kikyo smiled and leaned back against the truck.
"We figured you guys would say that," she said with a smirk. Sango cracked her knuckles and rolled her neck.
"Let's do it then," She said. Kagome walked out from behind Inuyasha and stood in between both groups.
"Just hold on a second," Kagome started looking at everyone of both sides.
"Just what is fighting this out gonna solve? If we win we'll still be together, but if you win we'll still be together… There is nothing that can be done about our relationships except for what we decide," Kagome said logically. Kouga snickered at Kagome's little speech, causing everyone to look at him.
"They might not benefit from a fight, but I sure will." He said standing in front of Kagome causing Inuyasha to growl.
"You see, I finally figured it out," Kouga started looking straight at Inuyasha. "You claimed her didn't you?" He asked never taking his eyes off the hanyou. Kagome's, Sango's and Miroku's eyes widened. Kouga figured it out, but that meant they could have a very huge problem. Inuyasha pulled Kagome back so she was close to him and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Not that it's any of your business wolf," Inuyasha responded returning the glare to Kouga.
"Oh it's my business alright," Kouga said not backing down. Inuyasha scoffed and turned away from the wolf demon.
"Explain to me how? I love Kagome, I'll kill for Kagome, and to my demon your just another horny demon who won't put her needs into consideration being as you only know how to think with your dick. So you want a fight? Then I'll be glad to give you one but you better be ready to die wolf boy," Inuyasha said looking back at the lights of the fair, before he turned back to look at Kouga, only this time the whites of his eyes were a deep blood red. Everyone gasped at how in control Inuyasha was at the moment being that when his demon surfaced his human form retreated, but at the moment it seemed that both sides of Inuyasha had the same goal: Protect Kagome at all costs.
Kagome's eyes glistened with unshed tears at Inuyasha's clam demeanor. She had no idea the influence she had on him, and was glad she was able to help him control his demon. Sango and Miroku were in awe as well. They knew the damage and destruction that could be caused if Inuyasha lost control, they'd seen it more times then they would have liked too. Kouga clenched his fists at his sides as he watched the devotion for the woman at Inuyasha's side show in his eyes. Inuyasha was right he was a womanizer, and had no issue taking what he wanted from a woman. But Kagome was his number one prize, and he'd be damned if he lost to a dog.
"Don't just make me out to be a man whore, I love Kagome too," Kouga said lowering his gaze to Kagome. Inuyasha scoffed again.
"You do realize you're a wolf demon right?" Inuyasha asked. Kouga looked at him like he was dumb.
"You're kidding right? Do I know… Of course I know I'm a wolf demon, dog turd," Kouga yelled. Everyone turned to Inuyasha waiting to see where he planned to go with the question because everyone knew Kouga was a wolf demon.
"Then you are aware that wolf demons may mate for life, but are frivolous in their youth and are known for their womanizing habits. To you Kagome is nothing but a prize and I'll be damned if I let that happen. Kagome is my best friend and my life long mate, so you better think long and hard if you wanna get into a fight with a demon who has something to fight for," Inuyasha finished as she brought Kagome even closer to him. He smiled to himself when he felt her squeeze his mid section slightly at his words. Kouga snorted and chuckled.
"Shut up dog breath I know full and well about wolf demons and their actions. I don't know what's gotten into you and your whole attitude adjustment but it proves to me that you're still the scared little puppy you always have will continue to be," Kouga said while he looked down at his watch.
"Fortunately for you though I do have to cut this short, I have somewhere to be. We'll have our fight, and if they're still about it, then they can join in too. Just know that I refuse to give up until I get what I want," Kouga warned before he turned around and headed in the other direction. Kikyo and the others followed quietly after Kouga grinning madly. Their warning had been made, their job for the night was done.
Kagome Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku watched them leave and stood at the side of the truck for a minute before they quietly got in the car. They all sat in the truck and looked at each other.
"We're gonna have to watch our backs apparently. That didn't sound like an empty threat," Miroku said as he stared straight out the windshield. Sango started the car and backed out of the parking spot and nodded her head. "I agree, though I'm not too worried about Kuranoske or Koharu. They're pretty much harmless compared to Kikyo and Kouga," Sango said. Inuyasha stared out the back passenger window as he held Kagome under his arm. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and snuggled into his chest as she felt his arm squeeze her tighter.
"I love you Inuyasha," she said quietly, but still knowing he could hear her. Inuyasha turned from the window and looked down at the girl in his arms before leaning down and kissing the top of her head. They finally pulled into Sango's driveway and got out of the car standing together
"So what do we do?" Kagome asked, holding Inuyasha's hand. Sango leaned onto Miroku and sighed.
"Well we shouldn't take them lightly, since they all have their own individual crazy," she said.
"That's true. Though the main concern at this point should be Kouga and Kikyo," Miroku agreed.
"But Kuranoske is a…" Kagome started to say before she was interrupted by Sango.
"Kuranoske isn't an issue right now, and if he does become one it'll be easy to deal with since he is a human. Kouga and Kikyo are what we need to worry about solely on the fact that ones a wolf demon and the other is a priestess," Sango said seriously.
"Not to mention thick headed," Added Inuyasha.
"Don't forget bat shit crazy and evil," Miroku finished. Kagome sighed and looked at the others.
"I just don't understand why they can't grasp the fact that we're together and leave it alone. It's ridiculous," she said with a frown. Inuyasha pulled her into a hug and held her tight.
"I promise you that we will not let this affect us. It won't last forever," he said as he rubbed her back soothingly.
"We'll have to come up with a plan and get the first shot here somehow, but also take any and all precautions," Sango said looking at the couple sympathetically, while trying to think of a plan.
"Precaution would be to not let Kagome be any where alone, for the one and simple fact that Kouga could use that to his advantage. I suggest we all stay together at all times if possible," Miroku said his strategic side showing from years of playing video games.
"Seriously Miroku, if you thought that for one second I would give that stupid any chance to hurt Kagome your crazy," Inuyasha said slightly offended.
"I know that, but whatever idea we come up with needs to have certain aspects covered. And there will be times that you cannot be with her every second, but Sango and/or I can," Miroku stated simply. Inuyasha sighed and nodded.
"Yeah your right, it's just a fucked up situation," Inuyasha said as everyone agreed. "Well until we know what they have planned we really can't do much, so why don't we head to bed?" Sango suggested as she felt a small breeze.
"I like that idea," Kagome agreed. The group made their way into Sango's house where they al laid out on the couch and fell asleep.
It was a few weeks since the 'warning' was given in the parking lot of the fair. Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku kept their word and did not let Kagome out of their site in public. In school they had seen both Kikyo and Kouga conspiring together in the halls and they all felt like they were walking on eggshells; a feeling they did not like one bit. The group still decided to live their lives anyway, and were excited that they would be starting Christmas Break at the end of the day and had a full two and a half weeks off from drama and school. They were currently in their last period watching Miroku glare at the clock. There was five minutes of class left and he was not exactly patient.
"Miroku you know a watched pot never boils right?" Sango said laughing at her boyfriend. He turned away from the clock long enough to stick his tongue out at her quickly, which caused Inuyasha and Kagome to laugh, and Sango to roll her eyes. After what felt to Miroku like an eternity the bell rang, and everyone jumped up ready to start their break. Kagome and Inuyasha walked with Sango down the hall while Miroku was a few steps ahead of them. They went to their lockers, and walked out to the bus. In no time they were all inside Kagome's house.
"No school for two and a half weeks, this is gonna be amazing!" Miroku said still excited. Sango shook her head.
"We know your excited, but calm down before I murder you," she warned glaring at him.
"Someone's testy," Miroku said looking at Inuyasha and Kagome and shook their heads at Miroku too.
"Careful 'Roku," Kagome warned knowing her best friends temper. The doorbell rang successfully interrupting any war that was to break out in Kagome's room. The four stared at each other confused.
"You expecting anyone?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome shook her head as she looked towards her bedroom door in confusion. Her mom was out of town again and no one was home but her, and all her company was sitting in her room. She stood slowly as the door bell rang through the house again. The others stood up with her as they walked toward the front door.
"Can you smell who it is Inuyasha?" Miroku whispered as they stood around the corner from the door. Inuyasha shook his head.
"New Moon tonight," he said eyeballing the door. The door bell rang again and a knock was heard. Kagome slowly walked toward it while her three friends watched from behind her. She turned the knob slowly before opening the door to see a delivery man on her door step.
"Sorry to bother you miss, but does a Ms. Kagome Higurashi live here?" he asked. Kagome nodded and sighed.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi," she said with a smile. The delivery man smiled back as he handed her a package and turned with a wave.
"Enjoy the rest of your day," He said as he walked back to his truck. Kagome closed the door and looked at the small box in her hands. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha walked over and looked down at the box.
"Who is it from?" Sango asked. Kagome turned the box around looking for a return address, but couldn't find one.
"No clue. Wonder what it is," Kagome said as she walked into the kitchen to open it. Once everyone was around her at the table did Kagome begin to open it. Inside the box was a smaller necklace box. Taking the lid off there was a beautiful white gold pendant necklace.
"Wow," the four friends said at the same time. Kagome took the necklace out of the box and got a better look at it.
"It's really pretty," Sango said.
"Does is say who it's from on the card?" Miroku asked. Kagome picked up the card and read it aloud.
"Read the Inscription - "
Kagome turned the pendant over and immediately dropped it onto the table, before she began breathing heavy.
"You O.K?" Inuyasha asked as he pulled her into a hug.
"What did it say?" Miroku asked Sango as she picked up the necklace, reading it.
She looked up to Kagome and stood up.
"That fucking dick head!" She yelled.
"Sango, what does it say?" Miroku and Inuyasha said at the same time. Sango put her hand out towards Inuyasha and Miroku so they could read it for themselves, as she read it aloud.
"For my lovely intended mate,
We'll be together soon
Love, Kouga"
