Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha!
Chapter 8: An Unsuspecting Visit
Kagome watched in horror as the thing ran with godlike speed, to up behind Inuyasha knocking him unconscious. "Inuyasha!!!" Kagome yelled, she tried to run to him only to find a hand firmly encircled around her wrist. "Miroku let me go!" She yelled at him trying wrest her wrist free; her eyes then traveled back to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha!!!" She called to him. "Get up!!!"
The youkai stood over Inuyasha sword pointed downward, over his heart. "After I kill you hanyou, I'll claim that wenches shards." He declared as he brought his sword down.
Now:
The youkai held a smug look over his features as he drove his sword toward the hanyou's heart, which is till a ball of fur jumped on his face scratching and biting. With a growl he threw the kit to ground near his companion. "Maybe I should just start with you fox child!" He roared.
Shippo gulped, maybe this wasn't a good idea, but he knew he could let Inuyasha die. He was nice to him a couple a days ago, so there was still hope of him being his dad and besides everyone would be sad if Inuyasha died. Including him. Mustering up all the courage within his little kitsune body, Shippo glared at the youkai yelling, "fox fire." To the Kitsune's dismay, the attack did absolutely nothing.
Shippo placed his hands over his head, and squeezed his eyes shut wait for his ultimate end. He waited a few moments, and nothing. Deciding to open his eyes he found his little body in Inuyasha's arms, Tetsuaiga staving off the other youkai's attack. How had Inuyasha moved him without his notice, he must have been really scared. Then dismissed the idea, he wasn't scared.
Inuyasha glared up at the youkai. "Your fights with me, and none of them." He declared as he threw him off balance, taking advantage of this he found the wound in the wind and released it on the unsuspecting youkai. Large blades of energy drug against the ground, running over the body of the youkai until there was nothing left of his existence. Inuyasha dug the transformed sword into the ground to help hold him up as he clutched his badly bleeding shoulder.
"Inuyasha are you alright." Shippo cried as he looked up at his shoulder and seeing the blood seep through his fingers.
Miroku finally letting go of Kagome, watched as she ran down toward the hanyou, he on the other hand made his way toward them at a slower pace. Kagome stopped a few feet away from him, worry etched all over her face. *Please let him be okay.* She chanted over in her mind. Inuyasha took his weight from the sword as he sheathed it.
"I'm fine." He assured. Kagome came a bit closer to him, before she enveloped him in a warm embrace. *I thought he was going to die!* She thought, shakily. It wasn't long before she let go of him, her face as red as a tomato.
"We should probably get back to the village." She offered, turning in that direction to hid her face. Miroku placed his hand on her shoulder stopping her procession forward.
"Lady Kagome, here." He then placed the two shards in her hand and then walked ahead of her to where they left Sango, back at the village to watch.
Inuyasha watched Kagome's retreating back, as she fallowed Miroku's path. Was she really that worried? He wondered, before making his own way back, Shippo atop his head asking every five seconds if he were all right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha was ready to hit the kid. How many times does he have to tell him he's fine! "Shippo, I am going to be fine, so will you stop asking!" He growled. Inuyasha could fill the little kit flinch on the top of his head.
"Sorry, I was just worried is all." Shippo replied dejectedly.
Inuyasha sighed. "Look Shippo, thanks for helping me back there." He told him, there maybe that would make him feel better. Arg! Since when did he care how the brat felt? Shacking his head, *Well, if he hadn't of distracted him I would have never been able to use my attack.* He would have been dead. "If you hadn't have distracted that youkai, I may have never been able to get a shot in." He assured the Kitsune.
Inuyasha felt the Kitsune jump off his head, and into the arms of the one who entered. "Kagome, did you hear that?" He asked, great now she's probably going to think he's gone soft. "I helped out Inuyasha." There was so much awe and excitement in the kit's voice that Kagome couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Yeah, Shippo I heard. That's really great." Kagome then sat the kid down, with her free hand; the other held the first aid kit she had brought with her to fix up Inuyasha. "Shippo could you go and see if Sango needs any help out there?"
Shippo nodded, as he puffed out his chest. "You can count on me Kagome." He told her, and then dashed out of the hut to find Sango. She just smiled as she watched him go, and then knelt down in front of Inuyasha.
"Okay Inuyasha, pull down your Kimono so that I can see your wound." She ordered.
"I don't need your help, it's just going to heal in a day or so." He explained.
Kagome smiled slightly. "I know all about your youkai healing abilities Inuyasha, but what could heal for you in a day or so could be done in a half a day or so if you let me treat it." She explained. Kagome watched as Inuyasha considered this for a moment, his face scrunching up in thought.
If he let her do this, she might think he is weak, but then on the other hand he would heal a lot faster. Which would mean, he would be in better shape should they come across trouble. Reluctantly Inuyasha nodded his consent. "Fine, just do it quickly." He adverted his golden eyes from her, a slight blush creeping across his cheeks as she pulled of his hoari and kimono (that's what the white shirt is called right?).
Kagome smiled to herself, as she place the antibiotics on her fingers and then gently rubbed them over his wound. She winced when she felt Inuyasha shutter at her touch, *I hope I didn't press to hard, I know he's tough, but that is a serious injury.* Kagome thought worriedly.
Inuyasha growled to himself, it didn't hurt, the cream was just cold, and his wound was like a blazing fire. Besides this injury was not what he considered serious, he has had much worse in his life time. Inuyasha watched her work out of the corner of his eyes, watching her curiously. Her brow was knitted in concentration as she made sure to cover the entire cut with that goop, and then delicately wrapped his arm in bandages. The whole entire time, her eye held concern for her patient, but that is just how Kagome was. Once done she began to carefully pull his hoari carefully over the bandages.
Inuyasha froze, as a familiar scent came to his nose and then a familiar voice, he growled slightly. "Kagome, are you here I could smell your lovely scent and decided to see if that stupid mutt face has kept his hands to himself." Why did Kouga of all people have to show his stupid face? He wondered angrily.
Kagome froze as well, she studied Inuyasha's face and his eyes seemed to narrow for a split second. *Why can't he get it through his thick head, I am not his woman. I already belong to… sighs never mind it's not like he'll ever love me back.* Kagome groaned in her head as she stood to go greet Kouga and possibly get him to leave before a fight broke out. Inuyasha sighed sadly, who was she going to say? He wondered. He knew it couldn't possibly be him, who could love a hanyou? Inuyasha stood dejectedly and followed after Kagome.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha walked out side to find Kouga holding both of her hands, starring deep into her eyes. Inuyasha couldn't help but let an audible growl escape his lips. Miroku came to stand beside him, and leaned in a bit. "Try and contain yourself, if you happen to catch any of his thoughts." Miroku warned, with a slight blush. Alright he may be a hentai, but even he draws the line somewhere. This was not going to be good, he sighed as he watched his hanyou friend.
Kagome was being to feel nervous as he stared down at her like that, it was like he was trying to swallow her whole with his eyes. She jumped when she heard Inuyasha's growl from behind her, he was here, this day was getting better and better. What did she expect, him to stay in the hut while she was out here with Kouga, not likely. "Um… Kouga, why are you here?" She asked.
Kouga smiled. *What I wouldn't give for her to be mine right know.* He thought as his eyes slide to the hanyou, a frown taking up residence. *Stupid, mutt face, I have to kill him first.* He shook his head slightly. *I wonder what are children would look like, better yet what would the process in getting those pups be like.* This time his grin nearly split his face, he then went on to other thought much like this one.
Inuyasha took a step forward, wanting to rip the wimpy wolf's throat out and then proceed to his gust maybe hack off a few arms. Yeah, that would make him feel a lot better. Before he could take another step, a blushing Miroku took hold of his shoulder. Yep, that's right the thoughts were even much for his hentai brain. "What is it monk?" He growled through clenched teeth, as his clawed hand death gripped Tetsuaiga's hilt.
Miroku sighed. "You can't just go in there and rip his head off, for thoughts that we shouldn't even be able to hear." He tried to reason, and to no avail as he tried to take another step forward his glare full of murderous intent. "Inuyasha, what would Kagome say if you tried to kill him unprovoked, and remember she can't here his thoughts either?" The monk asked wisely.
Inuyasha turned his glare toward the monk at his side. "What would you do, if he had these thoughts about Sango." The hanyou asked smartly.
Miroku tensed visibly. "I would suck him up in the air void." And the instantly regretted it.
Inuyasha smirked triumphantly. "That is all I needed to hear monk." He declared as he unsheathed Tetsuaiga and pushed his way between the two, holding the sword in Kouga's shocked face.
Miroku shook his head. "What have I done." He sighed.
"Get your hand off her, you stupid wolf." Inuyasha growled.
"She's my woman, I can do what ever I want mutt face." He yelled right back.
Kagome sighed audibly, and then stood between the two. "Stop fighting." She yelled. She did not want this stupid fight over her to continue, weather Kouga wanted to accept or not she was Inuyasha's and weather Inuyasha knew it or not she was his. The two idiots just needed to accept it. She turned her glare on Inuyasha preparing to sit him and then stopped. *He looks so hurt, I-I can't sit him… he is only trying to protect me.* She sighed to herself. Turning to Kouga she started to growl slightly. "Kouga I have tried to be nice about it, but I am not your woman alright, I never will be." Everyone including Kouga seemed shocked at her outburst. "Now leave, or I will let Inuyasha have his way with you." She winced at the look of hurt that crossed his features, she didn't want to hurt him she just wanted him to leave.
"K-Kagome you don't mean that d-do you?" He stuttered out.
"Yes Kouga I do." She answered. "Please, just leave for right know." He brightened up at then end of her statement. She didn't want him to stay away forever, just right know.
Taking her hand in his he place there a gentle kiss. "Any thing for you Kagome." Then in a fit of wind he was gone, she then let go of the air she was holding. Some reason she thought that this was going to be a lot harder.
Everyone in there little group was staring at her, especially Miroku and Inuyasha. Normally she would have just sat the hanyou and told Kouga to leave, but because Inuyasha looked hurt she changed her methods. Maybe he should act hurt more often, Inuyasha then shook his head, now he couldn't do that… his pride wouldn't allow him too.

Purple Uranium: Thanks I'm glad you likes it! Naraku is one of my favorite bad guy characters, he's really easy to hate, and he comes up with the most diabolical schemes… most evil guys are pretty lame or what I have seen so far anyways ^_^ The hair huh?
