*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome stretched and sighed. She sat down carefully on a boulder next to a stream and pulled off her shoes and socks, dipping her feet in the cool water.
She sighed happily as the cascading silvery liquid ran over her sore feet. She stretched out on the boulder's flat and warm surface, staring at the beautiful sky above. Fluffy white clouds rolled overhead. She listened to birds singing peacefully in the trees. . .
Kagome sighed. After she, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo had buried the dead of the town Inuyasha decimated and tended to the injured, they had set out searching for Inuyasha again.
"Kagome-chan?"
Kagome got up and turned, looking at the source of the voice. Sango sat down next to her, looking at her intently. "Are you all right?"
Kagome smiled. "I'm fine, Sango-chan. My feet are just a little sore."
Sango studied her face carefully. "You're lying," She said flatly. "You're worried about Inuyasha, aren't you?"
Kagome sighed. She never could anything from Sango. "Yeah. I'm afraid he'll eventually kill himself."
"I kn~"
"Hello ladies."
Sango groaned. She swatted Miroku's wandering hand away and turned to smack the monk. "Keep your hands to yourself, houshi-sama."
Kagome giggled at the pair. "So what were you saying, Sango-chan?"
"I just said I know," Sango continued, glaring venomously at Miroku as if daring him to feel her up again, "That you're worried for Inuyasha."
"Speaking of that. . ." Miroku started, this time serious, "May I suggest something, Lady Kagome?"
"Of course, Miroku," Kagome smiled at him warmly. "Just don't touch me," she added icily, seeing a perverted grin flicker on his face.
"I am insulted you would think me of that," Miroku started in his dramatic voice, but Sango cut him off.
"Just get on with it, houshi-sama."
Miroku got serious again. "Perhaps if we find Sesshomaru he could help us find Inuyasha."
"Sesshomaru? Are you kidding?" Kagome asked.
"No. After all, he will owe us for returning Rin to him," Miroku said gesturing at Rin who was playing with Shippo nearby. "And also, wouldn't Sesshomaru want revenge for what Inuyasha did to him?"
"I suppose you're right," Sango said thoughtfully. "I never understood why he keeps Rin with him. After all, he's always claiming he hates humans. . ."
"What if he won't do it?" Kagome asked. "What if he really tries to kill Inuyasha?"
"Aww, are you worried about Inuyasha?" Miroku couldn't resist adding in his comment.
The next second later he was laying on the ground after being promptly nailed in the head by Sango.
"N-nani!?" Kagome stammered, feeling the heat rise to her cheeks.
"ignore the perv," Sango said matter-o-factly as she walked away, taking care to drag her boomerang over Miroku's head.
--Next Day-
"Where are we going to find Sesshomaru, Kagome?" Shippo asked, pulling on one of her socks.
Kagome smiled. "Don't worry, we'll find him. I think he might have flown this way." She pointed at the mountains they were passing through.
Sango's face fell immediately. Miroku noticed and came over, "Lady Sango, what is the matter?"
Sango smacked his hand away and pointed to the mountains. "IT would just have to be Kouga's mountains we're traveling through," she whispered to the monk.
"Oh great. . ." Miroku saighed.
"Hello Kagome!!!"
". . .There he is. . ." Miroku finished dully.
"Uh. . . Hi Kouga-kun!" Kagome tried to smile, being jarred out of her thoughts. Kouga grabbed in a crushing hug.
"I see you're not with dog-turd anymore!" Kouga said cheerfully. "That means you finally got rid of him! Good job, my woman."
Kagome pushed Kouga away. "Kouga, I'm not you're woman. And we're looking for Inuyasha right now."
Kouga scoffed. "Why do you want that dog-turd?"
"Because I'm worried about him," Kagome answered.
Kouga snorted. "Forget him. You're mine now." He grabbed kagome and was about to run away when Miroku stuck a ofuda on him. Kagome wiggled away but Kouga was stuck in place. "Hey! What the hell is this monk?"
Miroku smiled, unfazed by Kouga's yells. "You can smell Inuyasha, can't you?" He asked. "so you can help us."
"Why would I want to help you find the dog-turd?" he snorted. He pointed (or would have, if he could move) at Shippo. "Make the runt sniff'm out."
"Hey!" Shippo yelled indignantly. "Only Inuyasha's allowed to make fun of me!"
"Uh, Shippo," Sango sweatdropped, "What's with that?"
"Cuz then Kagome will sit him!" Shippo said proudly.
Kouga snorted. "So make the fox sniff him out."
"I can't," Shippo said sadly. "I can't find his scent."
"Heh. You can smell dog-turd a mile away."
"Well, you will help us find Inuyasha anyway, won't you?" Miroku said pleasantly.
"No."
"Yes you will. . ." Miroku said, with the scary face on that he has in book seven, scroll 3, pg 61 on top righthand corner. "Because only I or another miko or monk can remove that scroll and then you'll either die of starvation or be exorcised. . ." He left his threat hanging.
"Fine, but you have to free me first!" Kouga growled. He planned to kill the monk and the girl and make off with Kagome. He laughed inside.
Miroku moved to peel the scroll off but Sango stopped him. "First swear on your clan name that you won't run away with Kagome," she said, glaring at him.
His mental laughter died instantly. ~Damn.~
Kouga sighed and rolled his eyes. "I swear on my clan name, that I, Kouga of the Ookami clan, will not run away with my woman in agreement to being released."
"I'm not your woman!" Kagome shouted.
She could have whispered for the same effect on Kouga's brain.
Miroku pulled the scroll off. Instantly Kouga picked Kagome up in a flash of brown and started running.
"Hey! You swore! You've dishonored your clan!" Shippo yelled.
"See you later, suckers!" Kouga laughed.
He turned his eyes back to the road, skillfully hopping over boulders and leaping swiftly to the mountains. He arrived at the wolf cave and screeched to a stop.
"Hey, I'm back!" Kouga yelled.
"Kouga!" A mass of wolves came forward to greet him.
"Kouga, is that your mate?" Ginta asked.
"Yup!" Kouga said cheerfully.
"I AM NOT YOUR MATE!!!" Screamed Kagome in his ear.
"Gahh!" All the wolves covered their ears and Kouga dropped her.
"What was that for?!?"
~*~*~* 45 miles away~*~*
Inuyasha looked up from the tree he was in. He had heard a voice. . .
One that sounded familiar in the back of his mind. . .
He tried hard to think.
Whose voice was that?
He shrugged it off. He shouldn't care, after all, he had no emotions.
He was a machine. . . Just a killing machine. . .
"I AM NOT YOUR MATE!!!" (yes she was that loud, plus Inuyasha's hearing is super charged, remember that) the words echoed through the forest.
Inuyasha frowned. Something in the back of his mind told him to pay attention.
'I am not your mate'. . . the words resounded in his head. . .
It sounded so familiar. . .
Someone he knew. . . Someone who knew him. . .
Something suddenly snapped and he let instinct take over. He turned and leaped over the forest, moving in the direction of the voice.
~*~*~* Back to Kagome ~*~*~*~
"You swore you wouldn't kidnap me!" Kagome screamed.
Kouga blinked. "But you're my mate."
"I AM NOT YOUR MATE!!!!!" Kagome screamed louder than before. The other wolves covered their ears, wincing in pain.
"Don't be shy. Tonight's the full moon, when wolf-youkai mate traditionally. If you're so anxious, you should have said so!"
(A/N: ::shudders:: Eww. That's just wrong! I don't hate Kouga. I just don't like him when he interferes with Kag/Inu's relationship. Don't worry people, as you can see I refuse to read any romance story that isn't a Inu/Kag, so I obviously wouldn't let him fuck her. See the lime though? That's why this is rated PG-13)
Kagome prepared to scream again but two of Kouga's lackeys grabbed her arms and started pulling her over to the back of the cave. "LET GO OF ME!!!!" Kagome screamed. One thing she prided herself on was her impressive set of lungs. She had plenty of practice screaming at Inuyasha.
Suddenly both of the wolves dropped her arms.
Kagome blinked.
What?
She looked around and found out why both wolves let go of her.
They no longer had heads.
Instead, snarling filled the cave. . . Her body froze.
Standing, glaring at Kouga was Inuyasha, in his full bloody glory. His red eyes flashed dangerously and he cracked his knuckles.
"Hello dog-turd!" Kouga sneered at him. "I'm surprised you actually made it here, with you being so weak. . ."
He didn't get to finish as Inuyasha launched at him, clawing his way through the wolf ranks.
Kouga sneered, as usual thinking Inuyasha was below him. He jumped in the air and landed next to Kagome, wrapping his arm around her and smirking. "She's mine now, dog-turd." He licked Kagome's face. . . "You guys take care of him." He said before trying to lick Kagome again.
"Eeeew!" Kagome screeched. She pushed him away, tears springing to her eyes. Kouga. . . licking her! That was gross. . .
Something in the back of Inuyasha's mind snapped. For some reason he was furious, filled with cold rage at the bold wolf. As the other wolves rushed him, he neatly clawed them all in pieces with a single swipe.
Kouga's eyes widened. "How dare you!" he yelled. "Kagome is mine! You know she wants me, dog-turd! And you decimated my entire pack. . .!" His eyes scanned the area as blood seeped onto the cave floor, painting the gray rock crimson red. "I won't forgive you dog-turd!"
Kouga was at Inuyasha's throat in a flash. He leaped over his head and tried to pound Inuyasha in the ground with his foot, knowing that his weight in midair would add more momentum to his kick.
Inuyasha dodged his kick and clawed at him, but Kouga was too fast. Kouga again tried to kick him again, hoping that a kick to his spine would dispatch the furious dog, but that hope did little good. He was very surprised that the hanyou more than kept up with him; sometimes he had trouble escaping his blows himself.
Inuyasha dodged a roundhouse kick kouga threw and punched him in the gut, throwing Kouga against the cave wall. Kouga, recovering quickly, pushed off the cave wall and the two began trading hits again, or rather Kouga get smacked around while Inuyasha dodged all his hits.
Kouga frowned mentally. The dog-turd was untouchable, and it disturbed him that he couldn't land a single blow at all.
Kagome stood and watched, speechless. It wasn't like she could do anything anyway. She prayed that Inuyasha wouldn't kill Kouga, even if she was currently disgusted with him. She hoped that neither would kill each other. Then she became aware that she was standing in a puddle of blood from Kouga's wolves and screamed but bit her lip, hurrying to go step on a higher rock. . .
When Kouga heard Kagome scream in the middle of his kick, his attention shifted to where she was standing. Inuyasha sensed his hesitation. . . He grabbed Kougas's leg and dug his claws in his flesh. . .
Kouga yelled in pain as blood spurted from his wound. When Inuyasha dropped him to the ground, Kouga suddenly felt fire running though his veins. . .
Inuyasha held the bloody shard of the jewel in his claw.
Kagome squeaked. Inuyasha's ears flicked in toward her and he turned to gaze at her.
"Inuyasha. . ." Kagome murmered. Inuyasha leaped at her, claws extended, and Kagome shut her eyes, bracing herself for pain.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Inuyasha. . .
His red eyes were clouded, claws frozen in mid-movement. He looked like he was having an inner battle. "Inuyasha. . ." Kagome whispered. "Please, wake up. . ." She extending a shaking had touched his arm, pleading inside that his soul would wake up from the cage that it was entrapped in...
Inuyasha went rigid at her voice, her electric touch. He howled and suddenly turned and left.
Kagome slumped against the cave wall, silver tears running down her face as she watched the silver haired hanyou leave.
~Inuyasha. . .
Please. . .
Fight it, please wake up. . .
I can't stand to see you like this. . .~
"Kagome! Kagome!" Sango's voice wafted through the cave, but Kagome didn't look up.
"I'm over here. . ." She croaked out.
"My god. . ." She finally looked up and saw Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Rin surveying the carnage. Sango promptly covered Rin's eyes and told her and Shippo to wait outside.
Sango and Miroku rushed over to Kagome. Sango asked gently, "What happened?"
Kagome cried into her friend's arms. "Inu. . . Inuyasha. . ." She whispered, still sobbing.
Sango gasped. "What happened? How did you survive?"
"I saw the real Inuyasha for a moment. . ." Kagome said, drying her eyes. "He's still in there, I saw him for a few minutes. . . He came when he heard me screamed and came here. . . He saw Kouga lick my face. . . And he attacked him. . . He took the shard and was going to kill me. . . But he stopped for a second, and I could see the real Inu inside his eyes. . . Then he left. . ." Kagome fell asleep, exhausted, and Sango and Miroku took her back outside. They told Shippo to watch over her, and the two went back to the cave to bury the dead wolves.
"Lady Sango. . ." Miroku said quietly, "Do you think we will find Inuyasha?"
"I hope so," Sango replied, looking up from the grave she was burying. "I hope he wakes up soon. . . From what I see, some people actually were beginning to believe he wasn't like all other demons. If this goes on, they'll treat him like a monster again. . ." Her voice drifted off as leaned on the her shovel, staring at the brightly lit night sky.
And of course the perv had to ruin the moment. . .
Sango continued digging graves after she tossed a twitching Miroku in one.
~*~*~*~* TBC ~*~*~*~
Well, as you can see, I decided to add some Inu/Kag angst. . . Sad, isn't it? I got so tired of seeing so much Sess/Kag romance stories, I decided to make this a Inu/Kag story later on. . . I MIGHT make a happy fluffy ending. . . or a sad ending that becomes prequel to a fluffy epilogue! ^_^ Technically, it's not really Inu/Kag, but I consider it so. . .
If you're wondering why Inuyasha suddenly went after Kagome, it's because he already likes, right? So the demon instincts labeled her as his 'mate', so he went off to go beat the shit out of Kouga. However, after he finished, his instincts were satisfied. . . So when he turned to attack Kagome, they woke up again and he spared her! Get it?
I have an excellent idea for a slightly AU story! I won't tell you guys, but personally I think the title and the storyline are very cute. . . Only I'm too lazy to write it out. The reason this chapter is so long is because I suddenly got an idea rush! ^_^ this is 11 pages. . . A new personal best! ^_^ Yay! Sorry for the delay of this chapter, I was sleeping over at my grandma's house with my cousin, and I only woke up at 8:30 AM cuz my cousin was bouncing on my bed. . . and then tripped and sat on my legs. . . ouch. . . _ Plus I couldn't fall asleep til midnight cuz it was so freakin' hot. . . and I woke up at 5:04 AM because, as stupid as this sounds, my grandma has this weird freezer that makes funny cat sounds once in a while. . . And I'm seriously not kidding. . . Damn freezer. . .

"I can't," Shippo said sadly. "I can't find his scent."
"Heh. You can smell dog-turd a mile away."
"Well, you will help us find Inuyasha anyway, won't you?" Miroku said pleasantly.
"No."
"Yes you will. . ." Miroku said, with the scary face on that he has in book seven, scroll 3, pg 61 on top righthand corner. "Because only I or another miko or monk can remove that scroll and then you'll either die of starvation or be exorcised. . ." He left his threat hanging.

Sango gasped. "What happened? How did you survive?"
"I saw the real Inuyasha for a moment. . ." Kagome said, drying her eyes. "He's still in there, I saw him for a few minutes. . . He came when he heard me screamed and came here. . . He saw Kouga lick my face. . . And he attacked him. . . He took the shard and was going to kill me. . . But he stopped for a second, and I could see the real Inu inside his eyes. . . Then he left. . ." Kagome fell asleep, exhausted, and Sango and Miroku took her back outside. They told Shippo to watch over her, and the two went back to the cave to bury the dead wolves.
"Lady Sango. . ." Miroku said quietly, "Do you think we will find Inuyasha?"
"I hope so," Sango replied, looking up from the grave she was burying. "I hope he wakes up soon. . . From what I see, some people actually were beginning to believe he wasn't like all other demons. If this goes on, they'll treat him like a monster again. . ." Her voice drifted off as leaned on the her shovel, staring at the brightly lit night sky.
And of course the perv had to ruin the moment. . .
Sango continued digging graves after she tossed a twitching Miroku in one.

Well, as you can see, I decided to add some Inu/Kag angst. . . Sad, isn't it? I got so tired of seeing so much Sess/Kag romance stories, I decided to make this a Inu/Kag story later on. . . I MIGHT make a happy fluffy ending. . . or a sad ending that becomes prequel to a fluffy epilogue! ^_^ Technically, it's not really Inu/Kag, but I consider it so. . .
If you're wondering why Inuyasha suddenly went after Kagome, it's because he already likes, right? So the demon instincts labeled her as his 'mate', so he went off to go beat the shit out of Kouga. However, after he finished, his instincts were satisfied. . . So when he turned to attack Kagome, they woke up again and he spared her! Get it?
I have an excellent idea for a slightly AU story! I won't tell you guys, but personally I think the title and the storyline are very cute. . . Only I'm too lazy to write it out. The reason this chapter is so long is because I suddenly got an idea rush! ^_^ this is 11 pages. . . A new personal best! ^_^ Yay! Sorry for the delay of this chapter, I was sleeping over at my grandma's house with my cousin, and I only woke up at 8:30 AM cuz my cousin was bouncing on my bed. . . and then tripped and sat on my legs. . . ouch. . . _ Plus I couldn't fall asleep til midnight cuz it was so freakin' hot. . . and I woke up at 5:04 AM because, as stupid as this sounds, my grandma has this weird freezer that makes funny cat sounds once in a while. . . And I'm seriously not kidding. . . Damn freezer. . .
