Hey guys sorry for the real long time in between updates but let's just say I have writers block *cough* Knights of the Old Republic *cough*. I plan on updating a lot this weekend so bear with me. Anyway let's get this under way so recap. Naraku is dead and not Inuyasha and Kagome are together. Same goes for Miroku and Sango but both are keeping there relationships from each other. Inuyasha are on there way from the fight with Naraku when they where taking a break and now Kouga has shown up.
Chapter 4: The True Power of Inuyasha
"I thought I told you not to touch my women!" Kouga howled and his pack ran to him.
"What the hell do you want?" Inuyasha put his hand over Tetsusaiga.
"I am tired of you messing with MY mate."
"She's not yours, she's mine." Inuyasha loosened up and became his cocky self that Kagome loved so much.
Kagome interrupted the two men. "Hey I am not anyone's to own!" Inuyasha looked confused and broken at the same time. He thought that Kagome was ashamed to tell others of them. There was no reason to hide it from Kouga. Kagome saw his face and smiled "But, I choose to be with Inuyasha." Inuyasha looked relieved but Kouga was getting angry.
"Well Kagome I came to take you away from the Hanyou but it seems you don't want me." He began to walk away. "But I am leader of the Wolf people and if I want you as a mate I will have you." He jumped up and grabbed Kagome. Before Inuyasha could even look Kouga was off. With three shards he was much faster then Inuyasha.
"Get the hell back here with Kagome!" Inuyasha was off after his mate and his rival. But in his rage his easily caught up with Kouga. He jumped in front of them. Kouga was very surprised and his pack was ready to fight. They where determined to take Kagome for there leader.
"You won't take her from me, not again." Kouga was getting very angry. Kagome managed to slip out of his grasp. She crawled behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha always was stronger around Kagome but when she became his mate her protection was all that mattered.
"Why do you want her so badly, you have the pick of the litter. Why take what's..." He thought about what Kagome said before. "..um.. err.. Why take her from me?" Despite the situation Kagome noticed this and he was gaining points with her.
"That is none of your business dog boy!" He lunged at Kagome but a large sword blocked his way. "Get the girl and kill Inuyasha!" Kouga's pack ran toward Inuyasha. But in his rage he cut through most of them in seconds. He was determined to protect Kagome. The entire pack was on the ground in seconds.
"You missed your chance with Kagome and now it's my time." Inuyasha used his sword to point at Kouga. "Now hand over those shards of yours. That's all we need to complete the jewel." Kouga took his claw and cut his skin open. He took the shard out of his leg but he threw blood into Inuyasha eyes. He quickly shoved the shard into his right arm. With the extra force he punched Inuyasha across the face.
"Well if I can't have Kagome then I guess I'll take the entire jewel." But Inuyasha was much stronger than Kouga thought. He knocked him down with Tetsusaiga and was getting angrier by the second.
"Give me the damn shards. Usually I would kill you but for some reason Kagome likes you so I won't." Inuyasha grabbed the shards and walked toward Kagome. "If you plan on surviving then I suggest you leave my Kagome alone." Inuyasha and Kagome walked away from Kouga back to there campsite. Kagome was looking at the three shards. When they got back she placed them into the jewel. They completed the jewel faster then she thought, then she hoped.
"Well Inuyasha looks like the jewel is complete. I didn't plan on going home, it's too hard to say good bye. Make your wish now." She was actually happy that the burden had been lifted. "I don't mind if you become a youkai."
"But why, aren't you afraid I might turn on you and the others?"
"No, I know you will always love me no matter what happens or who you are. You will always be Inuyasha, the man I fell in love with." Inuyasha was happy to hear this. He stepped back and held the jewel and concentrated on it. His was consumed by light.
"I am the spirit of Shikon no Tama. You have managed to complete the jewel. You have proved worthy of my power. Make your wish but be for warned that it must be pure or there will be no wish." The disembodied voice sounded like a young girl. Inuyasha seemed nervous. Kagome could not see anything within the pillar of light.
"I wish to become a full Youkai with great power." Inuyasha made his wish and waited for a change.
"Your wish is not pure and you wish for something different. I will give you the wish you truly desire. The one called Kagome will become a Hanyou."
"Wait why would I want her to become a Hanyou?" Inuyasha quickly asked.
"You already know but I shall enlighten your conscious self. You want to live your entire life with, as a human she could not live that long." The pillar grew larger. "Your wish will now be granted and you will have peace Inuyasha."
The light disappeared and Kagome fainted. Her head hurt and she screamed as she fell to the ground.
Hours later she awoke in Inuyasha's arms. "Where am I?" Kagome questioned. Her senses seemed better. She didn't know why but she smelt and heard everything.
"Kagome your alright, I am so happy. I thought you would be asleep forever." Inuyasha was smiling and rubbing her EARS? Kagome felt where Inuyasha was rubbing and she had dogs ears like him. Inuyasha started to laugh. "Um yea I had a little problem with the Shikon no tama. It said that you becoming a hanyou was the wish in my heart or something." Before he could continue Kagome was already rummaging through her bag looking for a mirror.
"So how do I look Inuyasha?" Kagome found a mirror and looked at herself. She was gorgeous, her raven black hair was now accompanied with streaks of blond that went down to her lower back. Behind her black dog ears, her hair was in two buns as if they here made to be like that. Down her face was two streaks of silver hair. Her face remained the same though still as beautiful as ever. Her fingernails had changed to sharp claws. Not as long as Inuyasha's but on a beauty like her it would scare you just as much.
"You look stunning Kagome." He was practically speechless. She was rather enjoying the attention from him.
"So what should I know about being an inu youkai?"
"Wait you're not mad at me. I must have done something wrong here?"
"It's not your fault Inuyasha. I am actually happy about this." Inuyasha was defensive. He thought Kagome would be very angry.
"Why exactly are you happy?"
"I planned on staying here with you and someone needs to protect you." She giggled but he didn't like the joke.
"Few I don't your protection, I believe I saved you from Kouga." Inuyasha said in a very arrogant voice.
"Few I could have handled him myself!" They both laughed over the comment. "We better get going. We have been gone long enough already. They quickly packed up and left. Inuyasha tried to take Kagome's pack but she wanted to carry it. She didn't have any problem carrying it either. She was also walking a lot faster then usually.
"Slow down Kagome, you never go this fast."
"I know I just feel so energized, I'm sorry Inuyasha, now I know what it feels like for you."
"I know you humans need your rest."
"But I'm not a human anymore so I don't as much rest." Inuyasha continued to explain some of the advantages of being youkai. "Hey I smell something, kinda like a fox. Hey is that Shippou?"
Inuyasha was surprised she caught the aroma before him. But his ego made him say "Took you long enough. But I guess your still getting used to being a hanyou." In not much time they had reached Kadaes village.
"Kagome your finally back....." Shippou was staring at Kagome.
"Lady Kagome, Inuyasha I am...." Miroku and Sango came to see Kagome in her new form.
"Kagome what happened to you?" Shippou asked.
