Chapter Review: We last left Kagome wandering the woods for no
apparent reason. Hmmmm.
Kagome walked the woods silently, listening for any sounds that may tell where Inuyasha was. There was a rustle in the bushes behind her, and she turned quickly, hoping to see Inuyasha. There was no one there. She shrugged and began to walk again, feeling as though she was being watched. Another noise. She whirled around, but no one was there. The woods seemed unusually silent.
"Hello?" she called.
Nothing happened. No one answered. She shuddered slightly; the air seemed colder than before. She began to walk again, looking for any sign that someone had been there. That some one was there. Anything to shake this feeling of dread that had settled into her gut.
A twig snapped behind her. She stopped in her tracks, not daring to turn around. There was hot breath on her cheek; the hairs on the back of her neck bristled. Some one grabbed her around the waist. She looked down and immediately recognized the arms. "Kouga!" She sighed in relief.
"That's my name, don't were it out!" Came his reply over her shoulder. He still had her around the waist; she turned her head to look at him. "Nani?" She questioned him. "Why are you here?"
"I was wandering through the woods around here and happened to see you. Decided to say hi!"
"Well, hi, then. Now, please tell me why you are holding me in this awkward position."
Kouga smiled slightly; Kagome knew that look. It was the same lecherous look Miroku got when he was about to grope. She struggled to free herself from his grip, but to no avail. She sent an elbow sharply back into his ribs and he dropped her immediately. She fell to the ground, and was trying to get to her feet when she felt strong arms pull her up. She glanced quickly up and was quite surprised to see Inuyasha staring back down at her. He held her to him and glared over her head at Kouga, who was looking highly disappointed. "Back off, Kouga. I'm warning you." Inuyasha growled.
Kouga sighed and looked at Inuyasha as though his feelings had been badly hurt. "I wasn't gonna do anything to her, honest!'
"Damn right, you weren't. You'd of had trouble with me if you had."
