SO sorry guys :P Here you go.

Chapter 14

Koga drove Kagome all the way back to the city without asking a single question. He was pretty proud of himself, as he took the first right turn onto a dark city parking lot.

"I want to go home Koga."

"And you will." he smiled, leaning over and planting a kiss on her neck. She pushed him away, hard, instantly making his head bang against the door; His shock kept him from using his demon strength to deflect the blow.

"I want to go home." she ordered.

"And you will, but I need something after driving you all the way back here, considering you didn't even mention why you were out there in the first place."

"It's none of your business. I just need some space... Inuyasha would understand that."

The name of the the despicable hanyou brought about a jealous rage in the dog demon's body. Koga's impulse was to grab her, and there was no reason he could find not too follow through with that instinct, but how was he to know his hands would instantly wrap around her neck.

"KOGA!" she screamed.

"I don't wait for girls, they come to me; They want me. You can't go home just yet."

His hands fell to her dress, which he lifted up and promptly turned her over, now enjoying her screams.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Kagome, can you get the door!"

"But mum I…" Kagome sighed, before grabbing her keys and unlocking the door, only to find the one person she didn't want to see. She slammed the door shut instantly.

"Kagome-"

"Go away, Inuyasha!" she shouted.

"I can't. I left you in the middle of nowhere, and you've been absent from school for the last two days. I need to talk to you."

"I don't want to talk to you… at all."

Turning him away wasn't the best plan, considering Naraku would be back soon and expecting some sort of results from her… but she couldn't face Inuyasha… looking and feeling how she did. She sighed, grabbing her mother's purse and frantically looking for some make up.

"Would you listen then? Look, I'm sorry we fought. I'm okay with you not feeling right about us because of Kikyo or whatever reason, but I still want a relationship with you no matter what state it's in… Not seeing you the last two days…It was almost like... Just come outside, please…"

Kagome finished covering up her face and neck, pulled down her sleeves and hastily put away her mother's make up.

"It is my birthday..."

Kagome opened the door a crack, pulling her sweatshirt closer to her. As soon as she looked up at Inuyasha, the first thing she saw were his ears; humble and calm, his eyes when she reached them, even more so.

"Open the door." he begged.

"I can't. My mother is home and... she's cleaning. She goes mental if people see the house dirty."

His eyes got closer to hers, "Okay then, come out. My Uncle is planning a party for me and I'd love for you to go."

"I can't. I'm… I'm helping out."

"Come on, Kagome." he sighed, "Why are you hiding in your house?"

"I'm not hiding." she argued, but ther voice softened when one of his fingers came close to her face. She pulled away slightly, knowing she'd never get rid of him if he touched her. "I'm not in the mood to party today."

"But it's my birthday." he pretend pouted. "Sango wanted to go shopping with you for a new dress and introduce you to some other girls that are going. I know we bore you."

"You could never bore me, Inuyasha." she whispered. His lips were in range of hers, by accident or on purpose she had no space to tell. All she had to do was kiss him and then everything would be fine again… but all she could think of was…

"Kagome? Kagome don't cry, please." he pulled the door from her hands and tried to pull her close to him, but before she could step away he had caught her… her sweatshirt falling to the side.

"What's on your neck?"

"What… what's on my neck?"

"A bruise." he moved the neckline of my shirt across and snorted with disgust as she guessed he could see another, more apparent bruise. "Where did you get this Kagome?"

"I fell out of bed a couple times. I've been really dizzy lately, that's why I haven't been in school lately-"

"Bullshit." he whispered, but this time it wasn't calm or nice, it was completely savage. He turned around, his ears alert as he stormed over to his car; she had to run to catch up to him.

"Inuyasha!"

"Don't play around with this Kagome. I wouldn't have expected it the first time, but now? Now you're just making me out to be plain stupid."

"I'm not-"

He turned on her, his eyes ringed with red, "Do you know who Ayame was? She was one of Kikyo's friends, a good friend. She wound up dead with the same bruises you have!"

"Inuyasha!"

"Is that why you don't want to be with me? Because of KOGA?! You can't possibly like him and I know for damn sure that he has nothing hanging over you, so why the fuck has he-"

"Please don't cause a scene," she begged, mostly because it would be too early compared to what Naraku wanted. "Please. For me. I'm through with him, it's nothing, I swear."

His expression grew hurt, "Is he how you got home?"

"Yes, but Inuyasha I'm begging you." looking into his almost animal consumed eyes was so difficult, but she had to convince him not to do it. "I hate to see you fighting. You turn… into something else, and it scares me." She had no other choice but to play the afraid card, even though she hated admitting any weakness to him at all.

It calmed him down though, knowing she was afraid. He even placed a light hand on her shoulder. "Fine. But if I see him, there is nothing that will stop me from hurting him."

"That is really going to surprise Inuyasha." Sango stated, looking in wonder at the
dress Kagome had chosen. It had a filigree design of autumn leaves, and as it fell from her waist to the floor it grew in tone of orange.

"Why?"

"Well just… look at it."

Kagome couldn't be more confused, "What about it?"

"You look like autumn incarnate… and sexy as hell." Kagome laughed at Sango's words, before turning to the dresser where she had placed her things. "It's a shame those bruises are still ripe."

"That's why I'm wearing a shawl." she told her.

"Kagome…"

"I don't want to talk about it." she interrupted.

"Talk about wh-" Inuyasha muttered coming through the door, before sputtering to a stop when he witnessed Kagome in her dress. "How…"

"I'll leave you two alone shall I?" Kagome smiled, fixing her own pink dress. "I got to find Miroku anyway, he said he had something to tell me." she winked at Kagome before leaving.

"Where… on Earth did you find that dress?"

"At the mall, where else?"

Inuyasha couldn't think straight as he looked at her. The dress hugged her like a glove and had a slit on the leg. It was no use… her body brought out the demon in him. He thought back to his dream, and took a deep breath; her scent wafted over to him

"Inuyasha?"

Her voice barely registered as he walked over to her, his classy jacket slipping off his shoulders.

"What are you doing?"

"Coming over," he reached for the shawl and pulled it off, "and looking at you."

"I'm not really sure this is-"

He ignored her words and let his hands trace lines over her bare shoulders and arms, letting his nose take a deep whiff of her scent. A slight groan escaped her lips when his lips kissed her skin, but when he opened his eyes he faced the slight discolouring of a bruise. It caused a deep rooted anger to grow in him.

He shook his head and replaced the shawl with his own jacket. "I couldn't stand it if every guy in the room was looking at you the way I am right now." he smiled, moving some of her curled hair out of her face. She looked kind of confused, but he hoped his behaviour wasn't to off putting. He just couldn't touch her like that knowing Koga had gotten to her first, and had treated her badly no less.

"And your jacket makes a statement I'm guessing." she laughed uneasily.

"Let's go."

When Inuyasha opened the door, Kagome didn't expect to be overwhelmed by the amount of people and loud music; she couldn't hear anything from the room she'd used to change.

Inuyasha held close to her shoulders as he greeted everyone he saw, impossibly remembering all their names. Some of the boys still looked at Kagome with interest but because she was with the birthday boy, they knew to look away just as quickly.

They reached a full table laden with gifts for the coming of age Taisho, who now turned to Kagome and put his hands on her hips.

"I left your gift in the room." she remembered, pulling away from him.

"You didn't have to get me anything." he smiled, trying to pull her back.

"No no, I'll be right back." she smiled apologetically before stepping away back towards the room. She bumped into a couple dancing rather closely. It took a minute to pass them, but by the time she did, someone's hand was grabbing onto her. Before she knew who it was, she came face to face with Koga.

"You stand me up because you're at this mutt's party?"

"What are you talking about?" she asked, struggling to pull away.

"Me, at your house, trying to find you. Your little brother had to be the one to tell me where you were. We're leaving."

"No Koga, let me go." She fought, hard, but his demon vice grip was way too much. "Let me go right now!"

"If you think I'm going to let him anywhere near you-"

"KOGA!" Inuyasha barreled through people before grabbing Kagome and placing her behind him. It felt like her arm was coming out of it's socket. "What the hell are you doing in here?"

"Back off. I'm not dealing with your shit right now hanyou!"

A growl escaped Inuyasha as he stepped forward, "You brought your shit here. How can you expect to walk out with Kagome after I know you've hurt her, you asshole."

"You can't prove anything."

"I don't fucking have too." and with that Inuyasha lunged for him.

Kagome watched in horror as the fight changed from just two boys, to an all out out demon battle; Eyes red and claws out. She looked out for help from anyone, but everyone was just as shocked as she was. She caught sight of what she thought was Sesshomaru in the shadows and called out to him, but he didn't answer either.

"Inuyasha please!" she begged, but her voice was lost in the fray.

"INUYASHA." a voice ordered. Kagome looked up into the crowd that was slowly parting, and saw the one face that made her feel even worse. "ENOUGH." Naraku ordered. In his hands was a sword encased in a blue cover. It glowed slightly, and before her eyes, Inuyasha backed off from Koga, who lay bloody on the floor. Then the crime lord addressed the crowd, "This Party is over."
