Chapter 2

            "Kagome" Inuyasha said staring at Kagome's eyes not believing that she is really there standing in front of him after all these years not finding her.

"Inuyasha who is this woman that looks like me?" Kikyo asked with jealousy starting to boil in her. She had after all traveled with Inuyasha for at least a year and had developed some feelings for him. 'There is no way in hell am I going to let this girl which looks like me to walk right in here and take my Inuyasha away from me!' Kikyo thought, hands tightening their hold on the bow while trying to get closer to Inuyasha as if telling the woman there that Inuyasha is hers and hers only.

            The moment Kikyo spoke, Inuyasha removed his arms around her and stepped forward. His eyes locked with Kagome's as she too unconsciously walked forward towards Inuyasha. They didn't stop until they were only two steps away from each other.

            "Kag-chan…"

             "Inu-chan…"

Without a word or any hesitation Inuyasha pulled Kagome in a tight hug. Shock filled all of Kagome's senses. 'What…what is he doing? Doesn't he have his mate standing there watching?' Kagome thought but once the initial shock has gone, Kagome didn't care anymore this was Inuyasha and she hugged him back just as fiercely as he did.

Everyone else in the back ground was staring at them shocked. Jealousy was boiling in both Kikyo and Kouga's blood as they watched them both hug. The familiarity that they were both treating each other was too intimate for Kikyo and Kouga. Unable to stand it anymore Kouga moved forward and grab Kagome out of Inuyasha's arms.

"Just what do you think your doing with my woman? You are nothing but a lowly hanyou so get you filthy hands off her and stay with your woman over there!" Kouga screamed as he pulled Kagome behind him despite her struggles. Sango looked back and forth between Kouga and Kagome and the new comers. She had split up in different directions with Kagome hoping to find Kouga faster. She had just arrived when Kouga had snatched Kagome out of the guy with silver hair's arms. She was dressed in her demon exterminator uniform fully preparing to stop Kouga from killing the drunk perverts and also to bash them up herself. She definitely didn't expect this. 'No way!! This can't be the little boy that Kagome is always thinking about. This can't be Inuyasha!' Sango thought as she stayed in the background and watched the transaction that is happening between them.

"Your….woman….Kag-chan you…." Inuyasha stuttered unable to continue on. All this time he had searched for her. All this time that he continued loving her and longing for her company even though he believed that she had died. Only to find out that she had already mated. 'Kag-chan I thought… I thought that you understood back then even though we were kids… that when I grew up I wanted you as my mate.' Inuyasha thought sadly. 'I guess it was too much for you too wait for me to find you….'

"Let me go Kouga! How many times have I told you that I am not your woman! You don't own and I don't love you. I like you as a friend and that is all why can't you understand that! I told you before that I could only give my heart out to one person and I gave it away ages ago. I'm sorry Kouga but please just let me go!" Kagome screamed at Kouga while trying to get her arm away from Kouga's hold.

"You are my woman from the start! I own your life if it wasn't for me you would've been dead already! It was me who took interest in you which saved you and Kaede from getting eaten! It was from the beginning that once you come to age you will be my mate! You will bare my pups, live with me and love me!" Kouga replied angrily not letting her go. His hold on her was so hard that his claws began to draw blood.

Seeing this Inuyasha's blood began to boil. It was clearly that his Kagome did not want to be there and this wimpy wolf is keeping his Kagome and Kaede hostage. In a blur of red and white Inuyasha was in front of Kagome. Shocked for a few moments Kouga just stood there are stared at Inuyasha surprised that he moved without him sensing it. Seeing this as his opportunity he punched Kouga in the face successfully making him let Kagome go.

"You BASTARD! How dare you hurt Kagome! Can't you see that she doesn't want to be here with you? Can't you see that you're hurting her? If she is your woman is that how you treat her? You forced her to stay with you! How low can you get you wimpy wolf!" Inuyasha screamed as he had pulled Kagome in his arms to protect her from Kouga. Kagome in return snuggled up in his arms relishing the feeling of complete security in his arms, the feeling that she had missed so much. It may be the very last time that she can do this because she is absolutely positive that his mate isn't very happy about this.

"Get your bloody hands of her hanyou!" Kouga screamed in rage. He had just been insulted by someone that he had never seen before and to top it off he had HIS woman in HIS arms and he is a bloody HANYOU! He made a lunge to attack Inuyasha but only to be forced to back of when a huge boomerang went flying in sight.

"Ah sorry about that Kouga but it seems that you are the unwanted person here. Kagome is obviously much happier and perfectly content with where she is and who she is with. I will not tolerate anyone taking my best friend's happiness. If you push your luck further I would be forced to exterminate you as well." Sango said seriously as she caught hirakotsu in her hands again. Kouga was at lost here and he knew it. He knew that Kagome was a powerful miko and could've killed them all but seeing her kind nature she didn't want to kill his pack when they did nothing to her. He also knew that Sango was a decent if not one of the best demon exterminator here. Over all of that there was a hanyou there and it also seems to be another miko. However the miko that looks like Kagome doesn't exactly look too happy.

"You… can't … you can't disobey me Kagome. Remember who is back in the cave? Your guardian Kaede, if you wish for her to live then you will do as I say and I say you are going to be my woman you understand?" Kouga said smugly proud of himself of thinking such a fool proof way to get Kagome back to his side without have to fight them all at once. Kagome cares too much for that older woman to just let to rot in their pack.

Kagome froze at the reminder. Just as she found Inuyasha and her dreams of getting away from Kouga seems more likely to happen, was just rip from her as he held Kaede hostage. 'There is no way that I could let Kaede-sama die! She has been through too much to keep me alive. I owe her too much I can't just leave her behind but…. I just found Inuyasha I don't want to leave him… I guess I would have to leave him some time after all he wouldn't want me around when he starts having babies with is mate.' Kagome thought as her whole body shivered at the thought of returning back to Kouga. Slowly she removed herself from Inuyasha's arms and towards Kouga.

She didn't even walk two steps when she felt an arm wrapped itself around her waist and pulled her against the chest of Inuyasha. She looked up to him with shock written on her face. Inuyasha just looked down on her and gave her a gentle smile that made her heart flutter before turning to face Kouga.

"You really are a wimpy wolf to blackmail Kagome just to get her back to your side?" Inuyasha smirked at him.

"Kagome if you don't….." Kouga began.

"I challenge you." Inuyasha stated.

"What?" Kouga said stupidly. He stared at Inuyasha convinced that he had finally lost his mind. Who would challenge him the greatest wolf demon around especially when the challenger is a hanyou?

"What part of I challenge you don't you understand? You're dumber then you look wimpy wolf. I challenge you for Kagome and Kaede in a weeks time right here where we will fight for their lives." Inuyasha declared

"You a lowly hanyou challenge me a great youkai? Please who do you think you are?" Kouga laughed.

"You're not scared are you?" Inuyasha inquired. Kouga looked at Inuyasha and something about him that really pisses Kouga off. His cocky attitude and the fact that ever since he saw Kagome he hasn't allowed her to move away from him. He hasn't kept his hands to himself! All this time Kouga had waited to hold Kagome like the way this hanyou is holding her. He just showed up and has her cuddling up to him like they were lovers and now he was calling him scared! No he was going to go to this fight alright he will show Kagome who is strong and who she belongs to.

"Fine a week from now at noon. If I shall win I will have Kagome as my woman and Kaede stays with Kagome which would be with me. If you win which would not happen you get to have them instead. If you are late I will cut off a limb of that old woman every hour you are away. Do you understand hanyou?" Kouga said. With that done he ran all the way back to his cave to tell everyone. Just incase that hanyou is stronger then he looks he is planning to train up in the mountains.

"Ne Kagome-chan is this your little Inu-chan?" Sango was the first to break the silence after Kouga sudden depart. He didn't even wait for Inuyasha's reply before he took off. Both Kagome and Inuyasha blushed and quickly got away from each other at Sango's comment.

"Ahh… Sango-cha…" Kagome began until she was interrupted by someone else.

"Inuyasha, just what is the meaning of this? Who is this … bitch that looks like me? Don't you dare touch her again!" Kikyo demanded. She was extremely angry at Inuyasha for just going up to her look alike and letting her to cuddle up to him like they have been together for ever. She, Kikyo, have traveled with Inuyasha for about a year and still she couldn't touch him with him wincing. She had figured out that Inuyasha was not a social person he despised contact with anyone. So who is this girl?

"Don't you dare call her a bitch! She is not a bitch unlike someone here! If I hear one more bad word about her from you Kikyo I will personally see to it that you land in Naraku's hands!" Inuyasha growled. Kikyo eye's widened in fear. 'How… how did he know that I was following him because of Naraku?'

"What? How can you say that Inuyasha? After all these times that I care for you and you think that I'm around because of Naraku? Don't you know that I care about you… that I lov…" Kikyo denied.

"Save it Kikyo. I knew from the beginning that you were dumped by Naraku once he found out that you were useless to him so you decided to follow me around so that you could tell him just exactly were we are so that he could kill me." Inuyasha replied hotly angry that even now Kikyo is trying to deny. Kagome sensing Inuyasha's anger hugged him tighter to get him to calm down. It seems to have worked because he stopped growling.

"It's true at first I followed you around was to help Naraku to get on his good side again but as I traveled with you I honestly started loving you!" Kikyo protested.

"Love me? You love Naraku it's not an unknown secret Kikyo. I am not your next play toy. I know that you have your forever love towards Naraku but occasionally you will play around with other men's hearts for your own pleasure and enjoyment." Inuyasha said sadly. He was getting really sick of this conversation already. He wanted some time with Kagome to catch up with the things that he missed out. To be able to tell her all the feelings that he went through. Making up his mind be began to drag Kagome away from Kikyo without waiting fro Kikyo's reply.

"Inuyasha! You will regret I swear! If I can't have you then my bloody copy can't have you!" Kikyo screamed as she watched Inuyasha and Kagome walk off with Sango trailing behind. 'Never, have I not got what I want! And I want Inuyasha!' Kikyo thought as she began her trek toward Naraku so that he could make her feel better and to help her get Inuyasha.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            "Kagome are you alright?" Inuyasha asked as he examined her arm. Kagome blushed at the gentleness Inuyasha is treating her with. It has been awhile since she last saw him and even then he was a bit rude. She was just very glad and happy that Inuyasha is with her right now and relief flooded in her when she realized that woman was not Inuyasha's mate. 'Maybe there is still hope after all' Kagome thought.

            "I'm fine Inuyasha." Kagome managed out right before she crashed down and started crying in Inuyasha's chest.

"Kagome what's wrong? Is it because of that wimpy wolf…what's his name? Kouga that's right…Kagome are you mad at me? Are you mad that I made you and Kaede become in a way the prizes of the battle? What ever it is that I have done I'm sorry okay. Please don't cry Kag-chan. Please don't cry!" Inuyasha said panicking unsure of what to do with the crying girl in his arms he looked at the girl dress in the demon exterminator clothes for guidance. She just looked back at him with a shrug.

"Inuyasha it's not that. Though I am a bit angry that I have become an object for you guys to win but the main thing is I…" Kagome said as she looked up to Inuyasha's face. "… I missed you too much! I hoped every night that you will come and take me away from that place and now … you're really here … with me…. besides me." Kagome mumbled against his chest. Only with Inuyasha's inhuman hearing abilities did he make out what she just said. It made his heart swell with joy at the thought that she was thinking about him every day and that she missed him as much as he missed her.

"Gods Kagome I miss you so much too! You would not believe how devastated I was when I went back to the village to look for and they told me that you had died. I was …. So sad….so lonely … again…." Inuyasha said pulling her into a tighter hug. Sango getting the idea that they wanted time alone got out of the hut and waited outside so she could bombard Kagome with her questions. Somewhere in his mind, Inuyasha acknowledged that girl has left them alone and he was thankful.

"It must have been very hard on you Inuyasha …." Kagome whispered to him. As she moved a bit away from Inuyasha so that she could see his face. All these years must have been harsh on him. He has grown older and lost all the baby cuteness he had when they were kids. It has now been replaced with a handsome young face. His silver hair was still as shinny and silky as it was before and a bit longer. From experience she knows that his hair is not tangled no matter how much you mess it up it will still be untangled. His amber eyes has grown hard but right now his look is soft and vulnerable like he was when he was a child. From the looks of it he has grown stronger as well, as if the hard muscles that she could feel on his chest didn't imply anything. Kagome blushed at the thought, embarrassed that she noticed such thing.

"Hai it has been hard Kagome but now that I found you it was all worth it… Kagome just promise me one thing please. Never leave me again…. I don't think I can take it if you were to leave me alone again…" Inuyasha said holding her hands. Kagome's heart just flew out to him when she saw how he was afraid of her reject and how the look of hope was there. Letting her hands free from Inuyasha's she gave him a bone crushing hug.

"I'll never leave you again Inu-chan. Never."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hello there fair lady, would you kind please tell me if you have seen a young man with white hair, golden eyes and dog ears?" a man in priest garments and a staff in his hand asked Sango. Sango had sat outside for more than an hour waiting for Kagome to come out so that she could have her girl talk with her. She had waited and waited and she was getting extremely bored so she went and sat by the river and enjoyed the sight by herself. That was until this man came along.

"You mean a guy by the name of Inuyasha?" Sango asked. The man was a handsome man. He had the loveliest eyes that she had ever seen. His hair was tied neatly in a small pony tail at the back. 'Too bad that he is a priest…' Sango thought.

"Ah so you know him fair lady. Would you be so kind to tell me where he has gone?" The priest asked moving closer to her.

"He is in that hut with my friend but I advise you that if you don't want to be beaten up to pulp then don't go in." Sango simply stated as she got up from where she was sit and patted her bottom to get the dirt off.

"Why is that?" the priest moved even closer now that he was right in front of her.

"He is having a catch up time with my friend. They haven't seen each other for a long time. It seems to me that they are having a 'moment' so it would be wise of you not to disturb them priest." Sango replied a bit flustered at the closeness she was with him.

"Thank you very much for caring about my well being fair lady." The priest said as he used one hand to take her hands. Sango blushed as he held her hands.

"Would you my lady… please bear by my child?" the priest asked as he dragged her against him. Sango's mind was going hay wire as this priest was asking her to bear his child. 'Isn't he meant to be a priest! Why is he asking me? Although he is quite handsome….what… is… that… on … my …butt!' Sango's mind screamed. She looked and there it was one of the priest's other hand was rubbing her bottom and he was looking like it was a way to greet people. Sango took a deep breath.

"HENTAI!~~~"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha looked up from his comfortable position with Kagome at the scream. Kagome looked slightly afraid at the thought that there is another pervert here but it was quickly flattened realizing that this time Inuyasha is here to protect her.

"What was that?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha sighed.

"I guess he found me. That Kagome is Miroku."
