Author's Note: I am kinda still rolling with Koga. I own nothing
Gone Wild
Inuyasha was too distracted with the corpses suddenly dropping around her, splashing their blood all over her as if on purpose, to notice the way Kagami stiffened, the same way he did when he sensed a shard. She did notice something leap over the wall as the last corpse dropped its blood staining the Tetsusaiga. She scrubbed her face with a small bit of her sleeve that still remained blood free and her eyes went wide as she spotted Koga. He was shaking from head to toe and she could smell the anger coming off of him as his eyes met hers and his glowed red. She barely had time to dodge the blow sent her way as it shattered the ground she'd been standing on.
Koga had hoped that the jewel shards in his legs would be enough for him to reach the castle in time to save his comrades. But as he landed all he smelled was blood and death. He looked around, growling as he searched for the culprit. His heart almost stopped at the sight of Inuyasha standing in the middle of the carnage. She was covered head to toe in the blood of the wolves, even her silver hair red with it. His vision went red. He didn't hear the crack of a jaw breaking. He didn't hear the smash of the bones in her wrist being pulverized against his arm. He didn't hear Kagami cry out as he drove his fist into Inuyasha's stomach.
He blinked as the red bled out of his vision. It had been a long time since he'd lost control of himself like that. Blood dripped off his hand as he stood back up, looking down at what he'd done. Inuyasha lay motionless below him. Her jaw was broken, her face going purple where the bruise had already risen. Her right hand lay by her side twisted at an odd angle. Her golden eyes were closed, and blood stained the front of her hakama. He didn't see her sword. He felt sick, he had killed her. But in doing so he'd avenged his kin. That thought gave him some comfort as Kagami and the young fox raced to Inuyasha's side. He paid them no mind. They no longer mattered. He felt numb looking down at Inuyasha's body so he turned away. A voice echoed behind him.
"Feel better? You've splendidly avenged your fallen comrades!" He turned searching for the source of the voice. She was tall, and clearly a demon, her eyes a glinting red with no pupil. She wore a well made kimono and held a fan in one hand. Koga raised an eyebrow at her. "Now you can die in peace!"
"Who are you?" Her words made Koga stiffen. Could there be more happening here than there had first appeared to be? If that was true… If that was true, he'd killed Inuyasha senselessly. The woman smiled.
"I am Kagura. I will allow you one final dance." She flicked her fan open and the wolves on the ground began to pull themselves back together. Koga growled long and loud. It shook the ground around him.
"You killed my comrades!" His mind was racing. This had been a trap. But if it had been for him or Inuyasha there was no telling. Kagura laughed.
"You're a little slow on the uptake, especially when you've lost control." She gestured towards Inuyasha with her fan free hand. "She tried to tell you. But you were lost to sense and reason. It's tragic really, killed twice by men who loved her. Though at least she loved Kiken back." Koga roared.
"You witch! I will kill you!" He rushed forwards his fist at the ready, pushing past the moving corpses of his men. Then his arm, the one he'd placed the new shard in before arriving at the castle, throbbed and he dropped suddenly unable to move. Kagura laughed again.
"That false shard in your arm is doing its work on you. You cant move anymore can you?" Koga growled from his spot on the ground as Kagura smiled. "Good. I'll take the real shards now, by slicing your legs off." Before she could take another step an arc of pink light raced past her head, several of her hairs sizzling off. Koga glanced around and spotted Kagami, his bow drawn, standing at the edge of the crater at the center of which lay Inuyasha still unmoving.
"Not another move or I won't miss!" Koga frowned. Why was this human defending him? Though honestly he didn't have any right to be choosy right now. Especially after what he'd done. Kagura smiled slightly at Kagami.
"As if you didn't mean to hit me that time. Go ahead try again!" Kagura raised her fan and Shippo called out for Kagami to get down as Kagura's attack raced across the palace yard. Only to be deflected at the last second by a large sword.
Kagami thought that maybe Inuyasha had gone insane when she demanded that he shoot her with an arrow. But in the end it turned out she was using tactics. The arrow seared through Kagura's wind allowing the Wind Scar to appear. Inuyasha had come close to cutting Kagura down too. But she'd been too injured to complete the swing and end the demon. Kagura escaped the castle dissolving around them as she flew off on a feather. As soon as the demon was out of sight Inuyasha collapsed to her knees. Sango and Miroku were closer to her and got there first, barely catching her as the Tetsusaiga transformed back. Koga couldn't move. His arm had gone purple, he wanted nothing more than to rush over to Inuyasha, make sure he hadn't killed her but the poison in his arm was spreading. He glanced up as someone sat down next to him.
"Don't kill me if this idea works ok?" Koga stared at Kagami who was holding one of his arrows. He didn't wait for Koga's reply before sticking his arrow into Koga's arm, at exactly the point Koga had put the false jewel shard. Pink lights glowed around his arm and the shard came loose and vanished as Koga felt mobility return to him. The haze the poison had been causing was gone. He sat up rubbing his arm.
"Why did you help me?" But Kagami wasn't listening to him. He'd dropped his arrow and raced over to where Inuyasha was lying. Koga made to follow but was stopped by a small tug at his leg. He looked down. It was the little fox.
"Kagami helped you because Naraku tricked you, but he's probably not gonna tell you that right now because he's worried about Inuyasha." Glancing over at the small group Koga saw that Kagami had pulled a small white box out of his yellow bag and was attempting to treat Inuyasha's more severe wounds. He was slightly hampered by her hakama and the small group agreed that they would let Sango handle that wound and the two men stepped back over to Koga who respectfully turned his back and sat as Kagami offered to bandage his injuries. He allowed it and turned to the monk.
"Tell me about this Naraku." The monk, who introduced himself as Miroku, nodded and began the rather lengthy story.
