Chapter 15 - Okami's & Inu's Don't Mix
Shippo jumped onto Inu-Yasha's shoulder and watched as the tornado suddenly stopped only a couple a feet before them and Kouga emerged, landing in a crouching position. He gave the inu and kitsune a fanged grin as the wolf ran up to its leaders side. Inu-Yasha growled in a low tone as the wolf slowly changed into a humanoid wolf demon. The okami female known as Kaya now stood at Kouga's side, smiling. Sango and Miroku followed by Kirara run through the bushes once they had seen the tornado, now all they saw was to okami demons. "Who are they?" Sango asked placed her hand upon her boomerang. "That is Kouga a okami demon, a leader of his own pack, though he's not all that bright. The youkai female is Kaya, she well. . .has a huge crush on our hanyou." Miroku said as Sango raised an eyebrow in question. "Really?" she said in more of a statement then question.
Kouga stood up right now and walked up to the hanyou and picked him up by the front of his fire-rat kimono. "Where is my woman." He growled in demand as Kaya eyed Kouga and Inu. "Kouga-sama, do calm down, or you'll kill him." She said in a whiny voice, she wanted Inu-Yasha alive, even though he had been unforgivably mean to her at their last meeting, but she was in a forgivable mood. Kouga only snorted and brought Inu-Yasha closer. "Well!"
"What's he talking about, Miroku." Sango asked and Miroku only shrugged. "I do not know, but apparently Yasha does by the looks of it." Miroku said scratching his head. Inu-Yasha growled and jerked Kouga's clawed hand off his kimono. "Now you listen here, okami! She aint 'your woman' got it!" he growled, Kouga was getting impatient "Where IS she!"
"None of your business, now go and take a bath you smell and your going to give me fleas." He mumbled "You already have one." Kouga stated and Inu- Yasha smacked his forehead with his hand. Why must morons surround him? Why? Was this some kind of punishment? "I wasn't talking about Myouga." Inu-Yasha said with a sigh, a few moments past as a gust of wind blew back the hanyou and youkai's hair. Kouga growled as he finally caught the line. "I don't have FLEAS!"
"I don't understand how you can be a leader and be this SLOW! Am surprised your pack has even lasted this long." Inu-Yasha said off handly and crossed his arms. Though Kouga maybe be slow, he knew an insult when he heard one. "Yu flea bitten mutt!" Kouga growled and would of punched the hanyou in the face if Kaya had not stopped him but placing a hand upon his shoulder. "Kouga-sama, now id no the time for beating the shit out of the inu." Kaya stepped in between the two men and put her hands around Inu-Yasha's neck and wagged her tail. "Oi, ai just tell Kouga-sama were the slayer is so he can be happy and take her as his tsuma in human terms. Then me and you can settle down together, watashi no ko-inu." She said then licked his lips like a dog showing affection. Inu-Yasha blinked and then looked at Kaya and sighed, he placed his hands upon her shoulders and gently pushed her away from him.
"Ai? Watashi no ko-inu? Iie, Kaya. Kouga will not have her as his mate, nor will you have me." He said as gently as he could. "Kaya, you have to understand, there are other okami's or even inu's that would love to have you as their mate, but I have already claimed a mate." He added as he ran a hand through Kaya's long brown ponytail. Her smiled turned into a snare, her once loving eyes turned into hatred, her claws twitched and her tail twitched in anger. "Y-you chose her didn't you, inu." She snared as her bangs cover her eyes. "Gomen, Kaya. . ."
"Gomen? GOMEN!" she spat and slapped him across the face, leaving behind four long claw marks cross his face and a fifth claw mark under his chin. "Hitotsu no hiru inu, anata ga daro kokai kono sentaku." She said in almost a whisper and then looked at Kouga. "I am returning to the pack." With that she ran off into the woods as Inu-Yasha sighed, he felt sorry for her.
Sango was so totally lost and so she looked to the monk. "Miroku?" she asked as she say her composed secret love stare after the okami female and then stare at Inu-Yasha in amusement. "Is that true Inu-Yasha?"
"Hai."
"It's not. . ."
"Hai."
"Miroku? Inu-Yasha? Hello." Sango said
"Sango I will tell you later, now I must deal with Kouga." Inu-Yasha said as he stared at the okami as he walked towards him. Kouga smirked and then laughed. "She's not totally your mate is she?" he laughed again as Inu- Yasha said nothing, Shippo was lost for a few minutes not having any idea what they were talking about. "Inu-Yasha, we need to get going if were going to save Kagome." He said as Kouga eyed him then looked at the inu, before him. "So you lost her." He smirked once again and placed one fist to his hip and wave his other hand around as to emphasize himself as he spoke off-handly "Well, then I guess I'll just have to come along to make sure you don't screw up, hanyou."
Inu-Yasha fumed as Miroku sighed and Sango being confused as ever just shrugged. "Well, even though am not very fond of some youkai's, you may come along if you do not cause trouble, we could us some help." Sango said as Miroku nodded "I see your point, Yuurei maybe a challenge."
"You sayin' I can't handle him!" Inu-Yasha yelled
"No, am just saying that he could be of some help."
"I agree, Kouga maybe dense but he does have strong points." Shippo said as Kouga smiled happily at his complements he was receiving, but he never caught the insult enclose with the package. "Then it's a done deal, I'll help you until Lady Kagome is safe, then mutt its just you and me." He said with an evil smirk on his face.
"Right. . . so how do you know my sister."
"Long story." Inu-Yasha replied with a 'Feh'
"So where are we going?"
"To my hometown, Izumo."

Kagome was getting bored again, Rin had not come by to visit her and she wondered why. But she shrugged and walked around the room. She came to the door and the imp once again came to life and hissed at her. "Oh shut up will you, little pest." She sighed and the imp snickered, as it flew around her head then landed upon the chest of clothing once more and changed into stone. "Argh, I can't even have privacy with that crazy imp around."
"Your full of spirit, that's good." Called a voice from behind her. She jumped and quickly turned around to find red haired specter before her. "Have you ever heard of knocking, you jerk!" she yelled at him and he just smiled in amusement. "Oh, I am glad I found you, feisty one." He said as he cupped his right hand upon the side of her face and brought her close to him. She froze for a few moments and once she unfroze she kicked him in the shin. He howled in pain as the imp came back to life and snickered. "Why you little human." He growled and grabbed her roughly by the hair and forced her to look up at him.
"I should kill you right now, but then that would mess up my plans." He growled in a loud tone and pulled her close to him, releasing his grip on her hair and moved his hands to her arms, pinning them to her sides with his cold hands. She struggled against his grip and called out threats and he just smiled from ear to ear. "Indeed miko, I would like to see you try too wound me." He laughed and throws her down upon the floor roughly. He placed his hands within the sleeves of his kimono and he walked slowly towards her.
"Stay back!" she cried out and she quickly sled a hand into the sleeves of her priestess robes. "I'm quivering with fear, little miko, can you not tell?" he said in a sarcastic voice as he bent down to her level and flexed his clawed hands out towards her. "Your mine now, soon you will be a part of me, like it or not. Too bad your little hanyou did not fully claim you; it would of made it harder for me on the new moon to take your miko essence for my own use. But you see I figured it out. The mutt and his companions will come here in search of you and when they do they'll meet the devil himself. Not a single mortal has survived my palace of seeing. They will all die by my hands or Lord Sessho-marus, or their own fears and doubts will be the end of them, how lovely." He said in a sadistic tone as he leaned in towards her to try and frighten her. "Then after am done with you, that little girl will be next after the dog-demon his dead. I do like my met untouched." He laughed.
Kagome's eyes grew wide and she thrust her hand out from her robes and stabbed the youkai specter with a dagger she had found earlier when she was playing hide and go seek with Rin. "You wont hurt Rin or my friends, Inu- Yasha is demon. He will not be affected by your spells." She hissed and withdrew the dagger and made a quick slash across the youkai's neck, his own cold blood splashed upon her face as he stared at her with laughter dancing in his eyes.
He cleaned the blood off his neck with the sleeve of his kimono and laughed out loud, it was a laugh that could make any powerful demon quiver. "Nice try, but am already dead." He said amused then with one graceful movement he held the dagger to her throat; she was on her back, pinned to the floor. "But you forgot one thing, on the night of a new moon a hanyou becomes human. Or did you not know that, even though you are a slayer." He gave her a half smile as he gently sled the dagger down her collarbone, the blade sis not cut her. He traced the blade down her chest and down towards her hips and stopped, looking up to her face hoping to see fear, but all her say was calmness.
He hissed and thrust the dagger into her thigh, he could not kill her, he need her but he wanted her to get the point that he was the one in charge here. She held in her scream, which only peeved him off even more. "You will not be saved nor do you have any chance of escape. You will die and with your death I shall live, your companions will die as with the three in this palace! And if the mutt survives his brothers attacked then I will kill him with my bare hands before your eyes as I kill you as he takes his last breath from this world. But you will not have the honor of being with him in death! Oh no! Your soul will be my toy instead of my meal!" he laughed and jerked the blade from her thigh and she cringed in pain.
"My servants of the undead are all around, do not try to run away or take your life, these walls have ears and eyes." He stood up and licked the blood from the blade. "Mmm, you have a nice taste, I just can't wait to sink my teeth into your warm skin." He teased and left the room. He snorted and thrust the blade through the window at his side. "Foolish woman." He mumbled and went to his room to think, this girl had to much spunk for her own good.
But unknown to him a pair of icy red eyes watched him, the beings long bony hands scratched at its chin in thought. This miko could be the one to save the tortured beings locked within this palace. The bring looked towards the door of the mikos room. "Indeed, indeed. . . a hanyou and a miko. . . a hanyou. . ." Inyana's voice echoed as her body ghostly body faded away into the darkness.
* * * * * * Oi - hey
Ai - love

Izumo- a place in japan, the 'home of legends' if I remember correctly. I just love the name of the town/city. I don't know the meaning of the name though. But I do know Izumo is were all the Japanese legends came to life, or so I was told.
