Inuyasha Fanfic-
I DON'T FEEL LIKE WRITING A DISCLAIMER! FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN!
Chapter 12-
I started pacing, my wounds completely forgotten,
"Oh no! If he come he'll be killed…by me!" My form started to flicker as I got more and more stressed, his scent growing strong,
"Then fight the hold Naraku has on you and don't kill him." Kagura said like it was the easiest thing in the world,
"But I can't hold it off for very long, just a few minutes." She shrugged,
"That should be enough time." I blinked and nodded slowly,
"I'm going to try and turn him around at My Line."
All of us slaves/pets had a line where Naraku's control ended but if you tried to step past that Line he was alerted and would punish you severely. I shuddered at the horror stories I had heard and jogged away.
I stopped right outside the tunnel and drew a line in the dirt with my boot, so Koga would know where it was. Ironically enough, I had chosen the spot to wait for him right next to the carelessly discarded wolf, I always wanted to care for him, even after death, and bury him, but he was just over My Line. I looked at the poor wolf I was forced to murder and groaned miserably but I snapped out of my revere by the sound of two things coming at me. My brow furrowed and I took a deep breath. My eyes widened in horror and I looked at the fallen wolf, Kaito could receive the same fate.
Koga came into view and smiled, immediately grabbing me and starting to pull me away,
"I'm so happy I found you!" I dug my heels into the ground, My Line getting uncomfortably close,
"K-Koga! Let me go!" I gasped, freeing myself and teetering backwards, my toes literally a millimeter from crossing the Line. I jumped back and sighed happily, the Line was now a good few feet away from me.
"Sorry, if I cross that line I will most likely be brutally injured. Now…" I took a deep breath and glared at him, raising my hands and made the general motion for 'shoo' and said just that: "Shoo." He stared at me in total shock and confusion,
"What are you talking about?" I slapped my forehead,
"You stay, you die. I can't deal with that so leave." I pointed back the way he came. He just stared at me, not moving,
"I'm not leaving without you." I barked out a sharp, cold laugh,
"Unless you want to die then yes, you are." He took a step forward and I stood my ground, refusing to move,
"If dying means living without you then no, I'm not." I internally groaned, I hated sappiness, but it was still touching.
"Koga, I'm sorry but you have to leave, Naraku will make me kill you and…" I took a shaky breath and shook my head, not wanting to think of that.
"Well if you're controlled by the jewel shard can't you just take it out?" I sighed, fighting back the emotions welling up inside me and forced myself to glare at him,
"How easy is it for you to take out your jewel shards out of your legs?" he blinked and looked down, shrugging,
"Don't know, never tired." I groaned and shook my head,
"Well it's not easy, I don't know how I can get rid of it." Something clicked in my mind, "Kagome!" he spun around, expecting to see the strangely dressed girl but, seeing no one, turned back to me in confusion and annoyance,
"She's not here." I nodded,
"I noticed, but maybe she can help me with the shard! Unfortunately, I can't leave so you're going have to bring her here, probably by kidnapping her… again." He chuckled awkwardly but then nodded determinedly,
"I'll bring her back as soon as possible!" he proclaimed and sprinted away. I looked over at my wolf, who had been sitting quietly in the shadows, trying to stay hidden.
"Go." I commanded him.
He obviously wanted to disobey me but he couldn't. Kaito dragged his paws, his tail between his legs, constantly glancing behind him at me pathetically. I rolled my eyes and pointed towards the exit. He whined and bound away.
I started pacing, hoping I didn't look as suspicious as I felt.
Koga's POVI sprinted all the way back to the village that I had last seen Kagome. When I reached the well I stopped and sniffed the air then took off again.
I busted into that old hag's hut, scanned the room quickly and darted over to Kagome she was arguing/talking to Inuyasha.
"Oh, hi Koga, did you find Ketsu?" I didn't answer I just grabbed her around the waist and ran away. She screamed,
"Koga! What are you doing? !"
"I need you to get that damned jewel shard out of Ketsu's head!" I said sharply and kept running.
Just like that first time I…borrowed her she screamed whenever I did something slightly dangerous. I swear I was starting to go deaf.
"WILL YOU STOP SCREAMING? ! I bet even Ketsu can hear you!" I yelled, pained.
"I'LL STOP SCREAMING WHEN YOU STOP SCARING ME!" she squeaked back. I groaned and set her down, hard. she yelped then stood up, rubbing her back,
"Ow! First you kidnap me, again, and they you drop me! Sheesh, how rude are you?" I didn't answer, just pulled up the trap door and jumped down, waiting for Kagome to follow.
Once she jumped down I looked at her and, thanks too to much yelling at from Ketsu knew to ask before you randomly grab someone, I still think it's pointless. If you're going to grab them either way, why ask?
"Ketsu says I'm supposed to ask before I pick someone up, so you don't mind right?" she chuckled and shook her head,
"I'm glad your learning manners." I grumbled and picked her up, running down the long tunnel. Halfway down I ran into Kaito who was walking very slowly down the tunnel but as soon as he saw us he yipped happily and bolted along after me.
I came around the corner and skidded to a stop. Ketsu was pacing, about a foot away from that Line she talked about and glancing continuously at the opening Kagome and I were now standing in. She smiled happily and ran forward, stopping right at the line as if there was a glass wall separating us,
"Kagome! Koga! You're back!" she smirked, "How long until Inuyasha comes and tries to beat Koga up?" Kagome laughed,
"I don't know, a few hours maybe?" We laughed then Ketsu's face became much more serious,
"So can you help me with the shard?" Ketsu asked, pointing to her forehead. Kagome nodded but glanced around fearfully,
"But what about Naraku?" Ketsu shrugged,
"I think he went out to go find some Jewel Shards or something." She said indifferently,
"I wish I would be able to see his face when he loses his pet." I stared at her, confused. She rolled her eyes and pointed to her chest and mouthed 'me.'
"WHAT? ! You're his pet? !" I screamed she quickly put her hand over my mouth,
"Shut it!" she hissed, glancing around fearfully.
I glared at her from over her hand, her eyes seeming much more red than usual. I grabbed her wrist and ripped it (gently) away from my mouth,
"I just can't believe you're his pet!" she shook her head in annoyance and turned away from me, pulling her hand out of my grasp.
"Now Kagome, please." She nodded, determined.
Kagome closed her eyes and Ketsu did the same.
"Ready?" Ketsu swallowed and nodded. I noticed her hands were shaking slightly.
I placed a hand on her shoulder and she stilled, shifting her weight so she was leaning into my hand. I smiled and looked at Kagome her face was twisted into intense worry and concentration.
"Ok then, lets go." The priestess placed her hand gently on Ketsu's forehead and I felt her tense.
"I'm sorry but this may hurt." Ketsu opened one of her eyes and glared at her,
"T-thanks…I…f-figured…t-that…o-out." She gasped out. She started to collapse, as Kagome's fingers seemed to disappear into her forehead.
"Koga! Hold her up!" she commanded. I did just that and then I was forced to place my hand firmly over her mouth when she started to scream.
"Almost…got it…!" Kagome said through gritted teeth, then she let out a triumphant shout and held up a jewel shard.
It was tainted but the longer Kagome held it in her hands the more pure it became. She smiled and looked at Ketsu,
"Take her and get out of here!" I frowned, just figuring out my dilemma, how do I get two girls out of here…?
"Here, I'll carry Ketsu and you climb on my back, that way we can all get out of here." She nodded and I knelt down and looked over my shoulder she looked slightly annoyed but climbed on,
"Since I'm going to be holding Ketsu I can't exactly help you stay on so I suggest you hold on tight!" I declared and, after Kagome climbed on my back, grabbed Ketsu ,
"Well off we go!" I shouted and sprinted away.
I finally got back to the village and kneeled down, letting Kagome down,
"I'm going back to the den, see ya around Kagome!" I waved with my empty arm and ran off.
As I left I shifted Ketsu into an easier position to carry and ran the familiar path back to the den.
Once I got to the den I didn't even acknowledge my pack and ran straight to our nest.
I put Ketsu down and wiped the hair out of her face and stood up. I turned around and pointed to the first wolf I saw,
"You, Gekerti! (A/N- I totally just put random letters together that looked slightly like a name XD) Guard Ketsu and tell me when she wakes up!" a tall, muscular wolf with blond hair and brown eyes stepped forward and nodded,
"You will be the first to know." He sat down on the left of the nest and presumed a guarding stance.
A few wolves came walking over and whined, curling around Ketsu, Kaito jogged up and curled around her head.
I walked out and looked for Ginta and Hakaku, not seeing them I sighed and took a deep breath,
"GINTA! HAKAKU!" I called. They came running from outside, gasping for breath,
"Y-yes Koga?" I smiled,
"We're going hunting." The stared at me in shock,
"Really? That's what you called us here for? !" the smile fell from my face and I glared at them,
"What? Gotta problem with that?" they shook their heads,
"N-No! Let's go!" I nodded and ran, much slower than I usually do, joking and talking with my friends.
Ketsu's POVHave you ever been kicked in the head by a bull? Or hit by a…uh kar? (I think that's what they're called…) No? Well neither have I but I am almost positive it knows what it feels like.
I opened my eyes and groaned, grasping my throbbing head. I heard someone gasp,
"GO GET KOGA! She's awake!" I blinked, trying to focus my vision on where I was.
I did recognize that voice though,
"G-Gekerti?" I rasped out, squinting to focus on his face, he was leaning over me, his brown eyes wide with worry,
"Are you okay sis?" I nodded and groaned,
"Yah, just a little sore. Am I at the den? My senses are a little jammed at the moment." I muttered, still trying to focus.
"Ya sis, your in the den. I'm sure your senses will come back soon." I nodded and blinked one more and everything came into view.
I was in Koga and I's nest and Gekerti was sitting guard. I looked down and saw I was still wearing that disgusting dress Naraku forced on me. I groaned again,
"Do we have any extra female armor? This dress is terrible." He chuckled,
"Your going to have to ask Koga, besides he might like the dress." I rolled my eyes; glad the pain was fading,
"I don't care if he does or doesn't, I'm not wearing it." He smiled,
"Well sis, it's good to see you're feeling better." I smiled back and nodded,
"Oh yah, and if Koga tells me that I am forced to stay in this nest I am leaving." I snarled. He shifted awkwardly and smiled, his eye twitching.
A very familiar scent wafted over me and I smiled, struggling to sit up. Gekerti shook his head,
"Don't try to sit up sis! You're still healing." I curled my lip at him and he backed off. I got myself in sitting position just as Koga came in,
"You're up!" I smiled and nodded,
"Yah, my head hurt but it's good now." He nodded and turned to Gekerti,
"You may go now." He nodded and ran off.
Koga moved to stand beside me. I smiled and patted the ground beside me,
"You look sad, what's wrong?" I asked, leaning against him happily.
"It's nothing, it's just knowing that all of these injuries that scar you… are by my hand." I frowned and nuzzled his neck,
"Don't worry, they may leave scars but they will still heal, I am fine, I'm back with my tribe and I'm back with you." I smiled up at him but it twisted into an uncaring smirk,
"Besides, I bet you couldn't even determine which scars are the ones you made, I healed even faster than usual." He stared at me in confusion,
"How many scars do you have?" I shrugged and stared vacantly into space.
"Hm… 50 maybe, probably more." I smirked devilishly, "You wanna see 'em?" I purred he laughed,
"I think I already have but it was so dark in that cave…" I grinned and played along, batting my eyelashes innocently,
"Well that's to bad!" I frowned down at the dress and made a face, "I'll show you my scars if you can find me some new armor." I sang. His smile fell and now it was his turn to make a face,
"Hm… I think I may have my Mother's old armor…" my shields when up in an instant,
"That's to much! I could never ask you to give me your mother's armor!" he shrugged and jumped up,
"Well you can't stay in that." I frowned and nodded, sighing in defeat,
"Fine." I mumbled and he ran off.
He came back holding he most beautiful armor I had ever seen. It was golden with black edging and designs. He also carried some black fur boots, shoulder pads and pelt.
"Here, this was the alpha female's armor. I think you deserve it anyway." I stared at him, eyes wide and nodded.
As I promised I gave Koga an almost full view of my scars, my undergarments were still on, then I started putting on the armor.
Once I was done I stared down at myself, my black tail perfectly finishing off the set. Koga smiled,
"You look beautiful, I'm glad your finally back." I nodded and smiled,
"Thanks, it's good to be back."
A/N- shitty ending I know but I needed to end it somehow! On the other hand REVIEW! And on the other hand OMFG I ALMOST DIED INSIDE WHEN I (SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS) THOUGHT KOGA HAD DIED! (screams in terror)
