Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
I wonder what will happen when Kouga shows up.
Kouga Calls
Sango looked at Kagome napping on Inuyasha's back and giggled. Since they had made up after that last fight, it had become the daily routine for Kagome to get an afternoon nap while Inuyasha carried her. The whole picture was just too insufferably cute. Her personal opinion was that Kagome was more comfortable and relaxed then than she was at night. It was nice to see them get along more of the time. She glanced over at Miroku, grinning.
Miroku glanced back, smiling. He thought the same thing, and the only thing that had kept him from mercilessly harassing the hanyou about it was the fact it was some much more comfortable without them fighting all the time. If he pushed Inuyasha very hard, he would almost surely say something that would have Kagome totally ticked at him, and that was just too much of a pain. *Sigh* Oh, well, there would be plenty of chances later.
Unfortunately for Kouga, this is when he made his entrance. "Hey, dog turd, what'd you do to my woman?" he quickly spat out.
Inuyasha, restricted by a groggy, slowly wakening Kagome, was confined to returning the jab. Although, if he had thought about it, that might have been more effective in this case, anyway. "I'm carrying her like I always do, stupid wolf. What'd you have to go and wake her up for, anyway?"
Kouga was taken aback. Inuyasha had answered the question and hadn't even gotten particularly upset that he had called her 'his woman'. That was a bad sign. He did a quick check: no, he hadn't marked her yet. *sniff, sniff* Although their scents were intermingled disgustingly, they hadn't mated yet, either. Still, Inuyasha was acting just a little too confident. Due to the confusion, all he could think to say was, "Huh?"
"It's simple, wolf, she likes to rest and take a nap after lunch, so I carry her. Is that too complex for your simple mind to understand?" Inuyasha answered like he was talking to a child.
Kouga tensed at the simple insult. He also watched Kagome, who was awake enough to not react to the mutt's statement: she didn't blush, tense up, anything. This was a very bad sign. Again at a loss for words, all he could do was sputter.
"Hi, Kouga," Kagome said, sliding down from Inuyasha's back with a reassuring squeeze on his shoulders. She didn't make a move to go around and greet him further. "Why'd you visit us today?" she asked quite reasonably.
"You put up with that worthless excuse for a dog carrying you around?" Kouga pressed, still not willing to let things go.
"Put up with it? Why it's great that he carries me around. It's so nice to be able to relax not have to worry about keeping up all the time. Inuyasha's been so wonderful about it lately," she gushed. Not only was it true, if she was lucky, they would be able to avoid another stupid fight.
If Kouga had been worried before, he was now distraught. Inuyasha, instead of being embarrassed, looked smug. Ouch. This called for action: now. Or, at least that was the only solution he could think of as he panicked. He reached for Kagome. "Come with me," he said roughly, taking his eyes off Inuyasha.
"No," she said firmly, quickly stepping back and appealing for help. "Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha, who had not waited for the appeal, interrupted the attempted grab with his fist to Kouga's face. "Leave her alone, stinking wolf." He immediately followed up while he had the advantage.
Kagome watched from the side. Inuyasha hadn't drawn Tetsusaiga, so there wasn't any particular danger of him killing Kouga. Kouga just never seemed to learn. She had thought Hojo was dense, but Kouga was even worse.
The fight looked painful, but Inuyasha was getting the better end of it. Finally, Kouga decided to make a 'strategic with drawl', shouting something like, "I'll be back to save you, Kagome!" before running off.
"Heh, look at the coward run," Inuyasha smirked walking back over to Kagome.
"Thanks, Inuyasha," Kagome said, blushing lightly. "He's even thicker headed than Hojo. Are you ok?"
"Yea, just a few bruises, nothing serious," he responded, brushing off her inquiry as usual.
Kagome hid a smile: yup, he was trying to act tough as always. Well, he probably wasn't too beat up this time. "If you're sure."
"Of course I'm sure," he huffed.
"Ok, let's go then," she said, picking up her pack and heading down the trail.
Author's Notes
I thought it would be fun to Kouga packing, so I did. I assume he'll be back eventually, but he may be a little more careful the next time.
I am not very good---ok, I'm really bad---at writing fight scenes, so don't expect many. Sorry
DR: You had a good point, but it wouldn't have worked this time. Inuyasha would just have left. Oh, he would have eventually come back, but it would have been hours later, and he still wouldn't have done it.
Thanks to all reviewers.
