Koga fell to his knees and offered his neck.

" I won't fight you Inuyasha, I'm more then happy to except my punishment."

Inuyasha snickered then felt something odd...was it petty?

Nah!

He pulled out his sword, and drew it to Koga's neck. Inuyasha's body was pulsing, * is this what you really want?* A inner voice asked? * Do you think this is what she would've wanted?* It said again...

His blade shook a bit...his rage humming with the need to slotter. * You know this isn't the right thing to do, you know she's gonna be upset if you fallow through*

He growled and shook away the voice * SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YOU REALLY THINK THIS BASTARD HAS A REASON TO LIVE? AFTER WHAT HE DID TO KAGOME?KAGOME IS BATTLING HER LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS WORTHLESS SCUMBAG. HE DOESN'T DESERVE THE OXYGEN HE BREATHES.*

Koga rose his head to see what was taking Inuyasha so long and realized the half demon was shaken and looked lost. He swallowed nervously and tried to rise , but stopped when the tip of his sword poked his throat.

" What the fuck you think your doing?" He snarled.

The voice stopped and he came to noticing that Koga was trying to rise to his feet.

" Listen...I know what I did wasn't right, I've been feeling horrible about it ever since. Your right!, I had no right claiming Kagome forcefully...but I didn't claim her entirely...there was no act of bondage...the only thing that REALLY makes mate bondage stick..the bite festered cause I ran off...but it can be reversed."

Inuyasha rose a brow curious. " Reversed...how?"

" I...need to suck my own venom out...if you give me the..." The sword pushed up against him again this time it punctured a little slit and blood oozed out.

" YOU MUST THINK I'M A DAMN FOOL, as if I'd let you get anywhere near Kagome again."

Koga understood his reasoning for distrust. " It may stop the venom...and give her a chance. Inuyasha...herbs and spells and chants ain't gonna do much good, sure it will subside the pain but It won't stop the venom from spreading...if I don't do something now, it will reach her heart by nightfall" he said through a horsed voice

Inuyasha's eyes widened in fear as he realized it was almost sunset...

* He may be able to save her it may be worth the risk*

His red eyes glared down, and his hands tightly clenched his sword. A conflicted growl escaped his mouth.

" You angry you have every right to be...you came and wanted to rip me in half for taking what was already yours...I get it, truly I do. I ain't asking for you to believe me or spare me, I'm just asking for a chance to fix what I did. If it doesn't work, you still get to kill me"

Inuyasha closed his eyes as vision's of Kagome over took his mind. He could see her face smiling, and see her hand reaching out to cup his cheek...his eyes burned...he pictured her other hand on top his, slowly lowering it from its target, nodding.

His body began to vibrate. Koga noticed that the red that seeped through his eyes started to disappear...but not fully, as water brimmed to the sides of his eyes. He noticed that tears openly streamed down his face. And Koga understood his fear...he understood the inner conflict...if this were any other time he'd mock inuyasha for being so weak...but a man isn't weak due to tears. It just showed he was a man desperate to save the only thing in this world he loved.

He respected that.

" If I do this..." Inuyasha spoke

" And she dies anyway, what would be the point"

Koga slowly stood up. " It's still worth trying...let me fix this. Once my venom is out you can leave your mark and... complete the bondage".

"If she dies...death may be to kind to you!" he said through a thick layer of anger.

Koga looked away

" Either you kill me here or we try and save her...it's your call Inuyasha, but if I were you I'd make the decision quick...the sun's starting to set"

Inuyasha swore under his breath and... seethed Tensaga

If looks alone could torture someone to death Koga would be 6 feet under.

" If this works, I want you to leave and NEVER show your face around me or Kagome again...do you understand me?" His voice was thick with emotion.

Koga nodded. " Loud and clear!"

They both overstepped bodies and hurried back to the village. Inuyasha demon side yelling and screaming and thrashing at the surface.

If it saved Kagome, it'd be worth it.
