Chapter 10: The Unexpected Awakening
Kagome and Inuyasha were watching T.V together as the phone rang. Kagome went to pick it up.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Hey, is Kagome there?" A young lady asked.
"This is she! May I ask who this is?" She asked as politely as she could. Inuyasha came and stood beside her. The young women continued,
"Hey, this is Katie McKormick from your Home Ec class last year!"
Kagome smiled as she remembered, finally, who the girl was. She really didn't know her, but they paired up a few times for various projects.
"Hey, Kagome, we are having a little get together at the park near the high school, the one by the trail into the forest. You know were it is, right?"
"Oh, sure, yeah, I know where it is."
"Do you think you and your unusual friend can join us?"
Kagome thought for a second. Inuyasha has been dragged to a festival and a birthday paryt/ sleep over. He maybe is feeling like a freak show by now. But it still kind of sounded like fun.
"Ah, Inuyasha?"
"Huh?"
"We've been invited to another party. Do you want to go? It's at the park near the high school."
Inuyasha crossed his arms in thought,
"That's a big park, but I guess we can go"
Kagome couldn't believe was she was hearing. Inuyasha actually WANTED to go out in public! She gave him a funny look. She's noticed that Inuyasha has become more confident in himself. He's still a little shy, but he lets the people he doesn't like know he doesn't like them. He also was a tad cockier, but Kagome really didn't mind. She got back on the phone with her friend.
"What time is the party?"
************************************************************************
"Are you going to the party?" Kouga asked his favorite accomplice.
"Of course! You don't think I'd miss seeing that gorgeous creature, now can I"
"You are one strange bitch!" Kouga smirked.
"Why do you want Kagome still? She hates you!" Kikyou laughed as she laid back in the bed of her truck. Kouga was there too, on a secret rondevu (A/N: This word isn't in Word. I hope I spelt it right!) to plan revenge. Kikyou on Kagome, Kouga on Inuyasha.
"My plan is flawless! Don't worry, Kouga, I will have your woman, as you call her, run into your arms"
Kouga stroked his chin and said,
"I love the sound of that! What do you have in mind?"
************************************************************************
Kagome was in her room getting ready for the party. She was in front of her vanity mirror. Inuyasha knocked on the door.
"Kagome?"
"Come on in, Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha stepped in to see his smiling Kagome. He kneeled by her and watched her brush her hair.
"Can I?" He softly asked Kagome.
"Can you what? Oh! Brush my hair? Of course!" She smiled and handed him the brush.
"Remember to start at the bottom, okay?"
"Yah, I Know from you brushing my hair," He stated.
It was mostly brushed, but he grabbed all her hair in one hand. His knuckles gently rubbed the back of her neck, making her shiver. He started like she said. She looked at him in the mirror. He has his tongue slightly out in concentration. Kagome smiled. They then caught each other's eyes in the mirror, but didn't look away. Inuyasha smiled and continued on her hair. Kagome had a warm feeling in her heart. Finally after a few more strokes and he was done.
"Thank you so much! I really. ITA!" She yelped. While Inuyasha handed her back the brush, his middle claw sliced the back of her hand. She dropped the brush and held her wrist. Inuyasha knelt by her with a look of horror.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, Kagome!" He said as he panicked.
"Oh! It's okay, Inuyasha! Don't worry so much! It's just a little scratch! I just need to go get a band." As she tried to get up, he grabbed her wrist and said her back down. He looked at her wound and licked it. Her heart almost stopped and her cheek fought weither to be drained or blush. The worst part was he looked at her when he did it, making it look a little sensual. Kagome thought to herself,
'Uh! What is he doing? And why am I getting hentai thoughts!?'
She began to blush furiously. Then he looked at her and said,
"My saliva will make it heal faster."
She put her hand on her cheek and squeaked,
"Thank you!"
He smiled at her and thought,
'And now I know the scent of your blood! I can track you better if you are hurt!'
She smiled back.
************************************************************************
Kagome arrived with Inuyasha, who was dressed in the same outfit he wore at the festival set up. She remembered about her cut from earlier and looked at it. Sure enough, the cut was completely healed. Inuyasha wore his cap for a precaution just in case people would take him the wrong way. This was a different crowd then a bunch of 15 year old girls. This party looked to be mainly upper classmen, even some college people. This brought back memories of the party that caused Kagome to meet Inuyasha. Girls stared at him with his black, sleeveless tank top and his baggy jeans. His muscles were well toned, his long white hair lightly dancing in the breeze. Kagome noticed Inuyasha looking so gorgeous and blushed, but when she began to see other girls stare in amazement. That's when she decided she'd be the one to hang on to him. Inuyasha looked down at her.
"Kagome? Are you okay?"
Kagome looked at his concerned, golden eyes. She had to come up with something fast, but she saw some drunken guys acting funny. She would be telling the truth when she'd say,
"Because I'm a little nervous of some people here. You don't mind, do you?"
He smiled at her and put his hand on her arm and squeezed it tight, almost in saying,
"It's okay, in fact I don't want you to let go."
She felt almost stuck up when she saw all the gawking girls seem to look disappointed. Could it be? It was finally HER with the gorgeous guy at the party? She smiled as not only she was proud of it, but he was also the closest friend she ever had. Absolutely nothing could tear them apart.
"Kagome! Inuyasha! I'm so glad you guys could make it! Inuyasha, why the hat?"
Katie asked in a 'gag me please' happy voice.
"Because he's nervous letting people see them just yet. He wants to get to know them better"
Kagome smiled at Inuyasha who gave her a 'thank you so much' look, but then another girl, one she never knew said,
"Kate wasn't asking you, she was asking him!"
Kagome had a surprised look on her face.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" She said in an embarrassed, polite manner, but Inuyasha said,
"No, she answered my question perfectly,"
Kagome smiled at him. He did something that totally made her almost fly out of her shoes. He winked at her! It actually made her blush. The rude girl scuffed and asked,
"Why are you with Higurashi anyways?"
He cutely cocked his head.
"Who's Higurashi?"
"Um, Inuyasha, that's my last name." Kagome said as she felt a tad embarrassed he didn't know her last name. He got the hint,
"You are asking why I'm with Kagome?"
The girl nodded while other "prissy" girls gathered around to see why this absolute gorgeous man was with plain, mediocre Higurashi Kagome.
"Because I like her and she's my best friend."
Kagome didn't blush this time, she smiled almost in pride.
"So you're single?"
A tall, beautiful girl asked in a very happy tone. Inuyasha didn't think himself as single. He didn't ever want to be with anyone but Kagome. He didn't know how to answer them. But he just blurted out an answer,
"I'm not single, but not dating, I'm.just not ready for a girlfriend yet."
Kagome was surprised. Maybe watching Dawson's Creek and all those "chick flicks" did him some good. The girls looked disappointed but even more so when Inuyasha put his arm around Kagome.
'Can I get away with this?' He thought nervously, but he smelt something sweet coming from Kagome. He didn't know what, but at least it let him know it was okay.
"Inuyasha, Are you thirsty?" Kagome asked, tugging at him. He got the hint and said,
"Yes".
Kouga drove into the parking lot. Kikyou right behind, but she went off on the dirt road. Kouga stepped out of his car and almost immediately he saw Inuyasha with his arm around Kagome. Kagome had her arm around his back. Actually they were doing a kind of "buddy support" thing, but of course Kouga saw it as something completely different.
"Kikyou, Your plan better work as you are going to wish you never had met me."
He walked closer. Inuyasha could smell him. Adrenaline was rushing through him, but he ignored it for the sake of Kagome. Kagome noticed Inuyasha's grip was tightening around her. She knew something was up.
"Inuyasha? Is it Kouga or Kikyou?"
Inuyasha tensed up,
"I smell him. The son of a bitch is here!"
Kagome began to panic.
"We have to get out of here, Inuyasha. I don't want anything to."
"Hey! Inuyasha! What's up?" Kouga said in a very happy tone. Inuyasha began to growl. Kagome shot looks at the girls who cooed like it made them hot. They looked at Kagome with daggers. Kagome turned her attention back to Kouga. She hid behind Inuyasha and Inuyasha growled louder.
"Whoa! Inuyasha, man! Ease up! I'm sorry about the other night. I did some hard thinking and, do you know what? I totally agree with Kagome making her own choices. Evidently, she chose you. I'm not mad, I accepted it. I just gotta say you are the luckiest man alive!"
Kouga was very out of character. This made both Inuyasha and Kagome nervous.
"So why don't you and I call it a truce, okay?" He said while holding out his hand out for a shake.
Inuyasha stared angrily at it.
"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered," I don't trust him either, but just do it. Everyone is staring."
Inuyasha looked around. She was right. Inuyasha had two pet peeves, letting girls cry, and people staring. He growled and shook Kouga's hand. He didn't like the way Kouga smirked when he did. Kagome held on to Inuyasha as much as she could.
"Com'on Inuyasha-kun! Have you ever had alcohol before?"
Inuyasha shook his head.
"No, I guess not."
Kagome didn't like the sound of a drunken half demon, but she really was trying as hard as she could not to converse with Kouga. Little did Inuyasha and Kagome know, Kikyou was watching from the bushes.
************************************************************************
Kagome sat on a log, in front of a fire by Inuyasha, who was having his 5th beer. Kagome tried to say stop, but Inuyasha would say,
"This stuff ain't doing nothin' to me. Don't worry so much, Kagome!"
And with that, He's take another beer. But across the fire she could have sworn she saw Kikyou, but the image vanished.
~*~ ***************mean while, where Kagome was looking~*~***************
"You are going to pay me 20 buck just to call Kagome over and ask her if she wants a soda?"
Kikyou nodded at the bewildered girl.
"Sure, I'll do that!"
"Good! Do it before she spots me."
Then Kikyou disappeared into the trees.
~*~*~************************
Inuyasha started getting a bit loopy. Little did he, or Kagome know, that Kouga snuck powdered sleeping pills in Inuyasha's 3rd beer. Alcohol strengthened the effect. But as planned.
"Kagome!" The girl acrossed the field called, "come here!"
"Be right there!" She waved back. "Com'on, Inuyasha, Let's go over th."
"Awww, let the poor guy be," Kouga said," Just let him stay here. She only needs you for only a few minutes."
Kagome smiled, still unsure, but she got up to leave.
"Hey, Kago.me! Whe ya goin'?" Inuyasha said with really slurred speech, mainly from the sleeping pills.
"I'll be right back, Inuyasha." She said as she scampered off.
Just a few seconds later, Kikyou showed up behind Inuyasha.
"Hello, Inuyasha," She cooed
"Kikg-gh-kyouu"
"Poor thing, you are so out of it. Come with me" She said as she helped him up.
"Bu.bu. wha bou Kaghh-ome?"
"She's a big girl. She'll be fine, just come with me."
Inuyasha was pulled unwillingly into the forest. His mind screaming,
"Get away from me bitch! What are you doing?"
But his body was giving out. Finally they reached her truck. She sat him up on the truck bed and pushed him back. He was too weak to move, and then he passed out. Kikyou quickly stripped him of all his clothes. It took a while. Just because he looks about 160 lbs doesn't mean he is. But finally she began to set up the carefully planned scheme.
~*~*~ Back at the party-
"Where's Inuyasha?"
Kouga looked up at a panicked Kagome. He was pretending to be so drunk, that he couldn't really speak. He laid his head back down. Kagome shook him.
"Tell me! Where is he?"
Then an African American college guy said,
"He went into the woods with that Kikyou chick"
Kagome dropped to her knees,
"What?"
"He did! If you love that guy, you better catch him before she does!"
Kagome kicked herself to look into the forest. She yelled his name as loud as she could, unaware that Kouga was hot at her heels.
************************************************************************
Finally, after frantically searching for Inuyasha for at least a half an hour, she found a pick-up truck with 4 feet hanging out of it. One pair had claws. She gulped and closed her eyes as she looked over the side, hoping not to see what she feared. She opened to see naked Kikyou sleeping on naked Inuyasha's chest, but they were covered in a sleeping bag. Kagome was devastated. She just stared at his face and screamed as loud as she could while running away. Inuyasha jumped awake.
"Kagome?" He yelled, knowing that was her by her scent. Then he saw what she saw. He was naked with Kikyou. He burned with anger. He usually would never treat a woman like this, but he grabbed Kikyou by her hair,
"What did you do, bitch! The last thing I remember is you dragging me here and I fell asleep. What did you do, dammit!" He screamed. Kikyou just stared at him with a smirk.
"You do love her, don't you? Well, what now? Do you seriously think she'll still love you after finding us like this?"
Inuyasha's eyes started to get really scary, almost getting a red tinge.
"What did you do to me?"
"Nothing, actually but destroy Kagome's trust with you. She didn't deserve a gorgeous man. She doesn't even deserve Kouga. I'm the head cheerleader, I'm in Junior Honor Roll, I'm important. Kagome's just a plain nobody!"
Inuyasha slammed her head on the floor of the truck bed, just enough to give her a headache. He quickly got on his pants and chased after Kagome. ************************************************************************
She ran through the trees as fast she could. Tears where blurring her vision, but she managed to dodge the trees. Then as she came into a clearing, she was caught by Kouga.
"Oh My .! What happened to you?" Kouga asked in concern.
She was in a ball of sobs and her voice struggled to get out, but she choked as she tried to get them out,
"I **sob, choke, sob** found Inu **choke** Yash **sob** sh **choke** sha ** choke** Kikyou! **sob choke** They were."
She lost it as she grabbed Kouga and let go of her tears into his chest.
'The bitch did it!' Kouga smiled inside, 'She really did it!'
He rubbed Kagome's back and ran his hand over her hair.
"It's okay, Kagome, You'll be okay." He shushed her
But he really did hate seeing her like this. In pain and in suffering. Inuyasha came upon the sight. He hid behind a tree. He was getting more anger by the second, till Kikyou showed up behind Inuyasha.
"So, Inuyasha. How do you like the scene? Quite nice, huh?"
Inuyasha turned around and growled,
"This was you and Kouga's doing, wasn't it?"
Kikyou smiled, "Yes, so what do you want?"
Inuyasha was very confused. He cocked his head in confusion.
"I can understand Kouga's part, but what about you? Why are you in on it too?"
"Because I despise that little bitch!"
"Why? How is it possible for anyone to hate Kagome? She's so."
"I know! Nice, sweet, but unsure of herself, but she is happy. I see her and her mother! I've never seen a mother and daughter so close before. She seems so happy! I despise her for it!" She began to grit her teeth. "She has a family, happiness, love! All I got for me is my looks and smarts to go to college. That won't fill the void, but for some reason, seeing Kagome Higurashi like this gives me a warm feeling and I feel quite fulfilled. Hate is the strongest emotion. People are fooled by love. What is love?"
Inuyasha couldn't help but to feel sorry for her.
"I will spare ripping you apart, but I have to get Kagome!"
Right when Inuyasha went to be on the other side of the clearing, still using the trees for cover, Kagome spotted Kikyou.
"Kikyou!" She growled. Kagome had never felt this way. She really rather not, but she couldn't stop herself. She ran after Kikyou with full speed. Kikyou ran as well. Right when Kagome was out of view, Inuyasha reviled himself to Kouga,
"This was all a scheme! One huge f***ing scheme to get Kagome! You hurt her to get her!" Inuyasha had his bangs covering his eyes, but Kouga had a bad feeling. He yelled,
"What are you going to do about it freak?"
Inuyasha looked up at him. His eyes were red with blue slits like snake's eyes, a sharp purple streak was drawn acrossed each cheek bone, his fangs grew so large, he couldn't even close his mouth all the way, and his claws were longer and sharper. Kouga had never been so scared in his life. He ran as fast as he could. Inuyasha right on his trail
*~*~**************** Meanwhile with Kagome ******************************
"Kikyou! Get back here!"
She yelled, but she lost her.
"Oh, Shimatta!"
She yelled as she began to cry. Then she heard a guy scream behind her.
"Inuyasha?" She whispered. Without thought, she ran toward the sound of the scream. There was another one, but it cried for help. She began to come acrossed a trail where trees were ripped apart from both sides.
"This has to be Inuyasha." She said to herself, but then she came upon an awful sight. Inuyasha's back was turned to her, but at the bottom of a hill. Kouga was lying on the ground, scared half to death, trying to protect his face. Kagome yelled,
"Inuyasha!"
Then Kagome saw an awful sight. He turned around to see Inuyasha transformed into something else. She noticed every change about him. She was scared stiff.
"Run Kagome!" Kouga yelled. Inuyasha turned his attention back onto Kouga and got ready to slice him when Kagome ran to him,
"Stop! Inuyasha! Please don't!"
She came up behind him and said, "Com'on Inu.," She touched his shoulders and he quickly turned around. With his right hand, he sliced four claw marks acrossed her upper left arm, then in another slash with his left hand, sliced acrossed the right side of her cheek, making her fall to the ground. Kagome couldn't believe what just happened. Inuyasha looked down at her with a blood thirsty grin. She began to sob. Then the scent made him froze. Kagome's scent of fear, tears and blood clicked his mind. He looked at her fear, her wounds and the blood on his claws. Kagome's blood. He had a single tear roll down his cheek as he growled.
"What have I done!? Oh my.**scream** What have I done! Then he whispered while he looked into her scared eyes,
"I hurt you? **Scream** I hurt you!" And with that he ran off into the forest. Kagome's head was spinning as she was trying to gather what just happened. She looked at her wounds. They were bleeding pretty badly, but not enough for her to worry.
"Inuyasha," she whispered.
Kouga crawled over to her.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm perfectly fine. They are just scratches! That's it." She smiled.
"Dog crap tried to slice you apart and you are still defending him."
"Well, he's never as bad as you. You planned this with Kikyou! She told me, when she was running from me, She yelled, 'It should be chasing Kouga! He was in on it too!"
"That little bitch betrayed me!"
Kagome got up and ran. Kouga yelled,
"Kagome! Where do you think you are going?"
Kagome ignored him. She only had one thought. Finding Inuyasha.
Kouga got so pissed he got out his hunting knife.
"This will get him for sure!"
He sliced 4 even cuts acrossed his chest, thigh, side and his arm. The sicko went as far as to cut the inside of his cheek so blood would be running out of his mouth. He snickered as evil as he could. He headed back to the party.

"Whoa! Inuyasha, man! Ease up! I'm sorry about the other night. I did some hard thinking and, do you know what? I totally agree with Kagome making her own choices. Evidently, she chose you. I'm not mad, I accepted it. I just gotta say you are the luckiest man alive!"
Kouga was very out of character. This made both Inuyasha and Kagome nervous.
"So why don't you and I call it a truce, okay?" He said while holding out his hand out for a shake.
Inuyasha stared angrily at it.
"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered," I don't trust him either, but just do it. Everyone is staring."
Inuyasha looked around. She was right. Inuyasha had two pet peeves, letting girls cry, and people staring. He growled and shook Kouga's hand. He didn't like the way Kouga smirked when he did. Kagome held on to Inuyasha as much as she could.
"Com'on Inuyasha-kun! Have you ever had alcohol before?"
Inuyasha shook his head.
"No, I guess not."
Kagome didn't like the sound of a drunken half demon, but she really was trying as hard as she could not to converse with Kouga. Little did Inuyasha and Kagome know, Kikyou was watching from the bushes.
************************************************************************
Kagome sat on a log, in front of a fire by Inuyasha, who was having his 5th beer. Kagome tried to say stop, but Inuyasha would say,
"This stuff ain't doing nothin' to me. Don't worry so much, Kagome!"
And with that, He's take another beer. But across the fire she could have sworn she saw Kikyou, but the image vanished.
~*~ ***************mean while, where Kagome was looking~*~***************
"You are going to pay me 20 buck just to call Kagome over and ask her if she wants a soda?"
Kikyou nodded at the bewildered girl.
"Sure, I'll do that!"
"Good! Do it before she spots me."
Then Kikyou disappeared into the trees.
~*~*~************************
Inuyasha started getting a bit loopy. Little did he, or Kagome know, that Kouga snuck powdered sleeping pills in Inuyasha's 3rd beer. Alcohol strengthened the effect. But as planned.
"Kagome!" The girl acrossed the field called, "come here!"
"Be right there!" She waved back. "Com'on, Inuyasha, Let's go over th."
"Awww, let the poor guy be," Kouga said," Just let him stay here. She only needs you for only a few minutes."
Kagome smiled, still unsure, but she got up to leave.
"Hey, Kago.me! Whe ya goin'?" Inuyasha said with really slurred speech, mainly from the sleeping pills.
"I'll be right back, Inuyasha." She said as she scampered off.
Just a few seconds later, Kikyou showed up behind Inuyasha.
"Hello, Inuyasha," She cooed
"Kikg-gh-kyouu"
"Poor thing, you are so out of it. Come with me" She said as she helped him up.
"Bu.bu. wha bou Kaghh-ome?"
"She's a big girl. She'll be fine, just come with me."
Inuyasha was pulled unwillingly into the forest. His mind screaming,
"Get away from me bitch! What are you doing?"
But his body was giving out. Finally they reached her truck. She sat him up on the truck bed and pushed him back. He was too weak to move, and then he passed out. Kikyou quickly stripped him of all his clothes. It took a while. Just because he looks about 160 lbs doesn't mean he is. But finally she began to set up the carefully planned scheme.
~*~*~ Back at the party-
"Where's Inuyasha?"
Kouga looked up at a panicked Kagome. He was pretending to be so drunk, that he couldn't really speak. He laid his head back down. Kagome shook him.
"Tell me! Where is he?"
Then an African American college guy said,
"He went into the woods with that Kikyou chick"
Kagome dropped to her knees,
"What?"
"He did! If you love that guy, you better catch him before she does!"
Kagome kicked herself to look into the forest. She yelled his name as loud as she could, unaware that Kouga was hot at her heels.
************************************************************************
Finally, after frantically searching for Inuyasha for at least a half an hour, she found a pick-up truck with 4 feet hanging out of it. One pair had claws. She gulped and closed her eyes as she looked over the side, hoping not to see what she feared. She opened to see naked Kikyou sleeping on naked Inuyasha's chest, but they were covered in a sleeping bag. Kagome was devastated. She just stared at his face and screamed as loud as she could while running away. Inuyasha jumped awake.
"Kagome?" He yelled, knowing that was her by her scent. Then he saw what she saw. He was naked with Kikyou. He burned with anger. He usually would never treat a woman like this, but he grabbed Kikyou by her hair,
"What did you do, bitch! The last thing I remember is you dragging me here and I fell asleep. What did you do, dammit!" He screamed. Kikyou just stared at him with a smirk.
"You do love her, don't you? Well, what now? Do you seriously think she'll still love you after finding us like this?"
Inuyasha's eyes started to get really scary, almost getting a red tinge.
"What did you do to me?"
"Nothing, actually but destroy Kagome's trust with you. She didn't deserve a gorgeous man. She doesn't even deserve Kouga. I'm the head cheerleader, I'm in Junior Honor Roll, I'm important. Kagome's just a plain nobody!"
Inuyasha slammed her head on the floor of the truck bed, just enough to give her a headache. He quickly got on his pants and chased after Kagome. ************************************************************************
She ran through the trees as fast she could. Tears where blurring her vision, but she managed to dodge the trees. Then as she came into a clearing, she was caught by Kouga.
"Oh My .! What happened to you?" Kouga asked in concern.
She was in a ball of sobs and her voice struggled to get out, but she choked as she tried to get them out,
"I **sob, choke, sob** found Inu **choke** Yash **sob** sh **choke** sha ** choke** Kikyou! **sob choke** They were."
She lost it as she grabbed Kouga and let go of her tears into his chest.
'The bitch did it!' Kouga smiled inside, 'She really did it!'
He rubbed Kagome's back and ran his hand over her hair.
"It's okay, Kagome, You'll be okay." He shushed her
But he really did hate seeing her like this. In pain and in suffering. Inuyasha came upon the sight. He hid behind a tree. He was getting more anger by the second, till Kikyou showed up behind Inuyasha.
"So, Inuyasha. How do you like the scene? Quite nice, huh?"
Inuyasha turned around and growled,
"This was you and Kouga's doing, wasn't it?"
Kikyou smiled, "Yes, so what do you want?"
Inuyasha was very confused. He cocked his head in confusion.
"I can understand Kouga's part, but what about you? Why are you in on it too?"
"Because I despise that little bitch!"
"Why? How is it possible for anyone to hate Kagome? She's so."
"I know! Nice, sweet, but unsure of herself, but she is happy. I see her and her mother! I've never seen a mother and daughter so close before. She seems so happy! I despise her for it!" She began to grit her teeth. "She has a family, happiness, love! All I got for me is my looks and smarts to go to college. That won't fill the void, but for some reason, seeing Kagome Higurashi like this gives me a warm feeling and I feel quite fulfilled. Hate is the strongest emotion. People are fooled by love. What is love?"
Inuyasha couldn't help but to feel sorry for her.
"I will spare ripping you apart, but I have to get Kagome!"
Right when Inuyasha went to be on the other side of the clearing, still using the trees for cover, Kagome spotted Kikyou.
"Kikyou!" She growled. Kagome had never felt this way. She really rather not, but she couldn't stop herself. She ran after Kikyou with full speed. Kikyou ran as well. Right when Kagome was out of view, Inuyasha reviled himself to Kouga,
"This was all a scheme! One huge f***ing scheme to get Kagome! You hurt her to get her!" Inuyasha had his bangs covering his eyes, but Kouga had a bad feeling. He yelled,
"What are you going to do about it freak?"
Inuyasha looked up at him. His eyes were red with blue slits like snake's eyes, a sharp purple streak was drawn acrossed each cheek bone, his fangs grew so large, he couldn't even close his mouth all the way, and his claws were longer and sharper. Kouga had never been so scared in his life. He ran as fast as he could. Inuyasha right on his trail
*~*~**************** Meanwhile with Kagome ******************************
"Kikyou! Get back here!"
She yelled, but she lost her.
"Oh, Shimatta!"
She yelled as she began to cry. Then she heard a guy scream behind her.
"Inuyasha?" She whispered. Without thought, she ran toward the sound of the scream. There was another one, but it cried for help. She began to come acrossed a trail where trees were ripped apart from both sides.
"This has to be Inuyasha." She said to herself, but then she came upon an awful sight. Inuyasha's back was turned to her, but at the bottom of a hill. Kouga was lying on the ground, scared half to death, trying to protect his face. Kagome yelled,
"Inuyasha!"
Then Kagome saw an awful sight. He turned around to see Inuyasha transformed into something else. She noticed every change about him. She was scared stiff.
"Run Kagome!" Kouga yelled. Inuyasha turned his attention back onto Kouga and got ready to slice him when Kagome ran to him,
"Stop! Inuyasha! Please don't!"
She came up behind him and said, "Com'on Inu.," She touched his shoulders and he quickly turned around. With his right hand, he sliced four claw marks acrossed her upper left arm, then in another slash with his left hand, sliced acrossed the right side of her cheek, making her fall to the ground. Kagome couldn't believe what just happened. Inuyasha looked down at her with a blood thirsty grin. She began to sob. Then the scent made him froze. Kagome's scent of fear, tears and blood clicked his mind. He looked at her fear, her wounds and the blood on his claws. Kagome's blood. He had a single tear roll down his cheek as he growled.
"What have I done!? Oh my.**scream** What have I done! Then he whispered while he looked into her scared eyes,
"I hurt you? **Scream** I hurt you!" And with that he ran off into the forest. Kagome's head was spinning as she was trying to gather what just happened. She looked at her wounds. They were bleeding pretty badly, but not enough for her to worry.
"Inuyasha," she whispered.
Kouga crawled over to her.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm perfectly fine. They are just scratches! That's it." She smiled.
"Dog crap tried to slice you apart and you are still defending him."
"Well, he's never as bad as you. You planned this with Kikyou! She told me, when she was running from me, She yelled, 'It should be chasing Kouga! He was in on it too!"
"That little bitch betrayed me!"
Kagome got up and ran. Kouga yelled,
"Kagome! Where do you think you are going?"
Kagome ignored him. She only had one thought. Finding Inuyasha.
Kouga got so pissed he got out his hunting knife.
"This will get him for sure!"
He sliced 4 even cuts acrossed his chest, thigh, side and his arm. The sicko went as far as to cut the inside of his cheek so blood would be running out of his mouth. He snickered as evil as he could. He headed back to the party.
