Chapter 12

Kouga growled at Inuyasha, " I WILL DEFEAT YOU AND GAIN THE LOVE OF KAGOME!"

Kagome gasped. This guy was serious. She wanted to stop them so badly but she knew she couldn't. ' Be careful Inuyasha.'

Kouga charged towards Inuyasha. He was filled with rage. That dog wanted to take his woman from him. Now he would pay dearly for what he had done.

" Take this!" Kouga yelled. His fist collided with Inuyasha's face. He smirked, " Well that's the end of you. I actually thought you would have lasted longer."

Kouga then felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He then flew back, hitting a wall. His face met Inuyasha's.

"You thought I was going to fall dead with one punch? Well, you're surely mistaken. I may be a hanyou but I'm no weakling."

Kouga began to pull himself from the floor, " W-what did you do?"

Inuyasha began laughing, " You didn't even know when I kicked you in the stomach? You're really slow."

Kouga glanced at Kagome. Inuyasha saw the look in his eyes it was jealousy. When he looked back his gaze turned to hate.

Without any words he attacked again. Inuyasha avoided his every punch, every kick that Kouga threw at him.

" STAY STILL!" Kouga continuously threw punches, kicks and any attack he could think of at Inuyasha. ' I have to have Kagome. I'll kill this dog if I have to.' Kouga kept attacking. He began to feel tired. He attacks began to get slower until he collapsed on the floor from exhaustion.

Inuyasha smirked. He knew this was going to happen. All those attacks he threw were bound to take its toil. He walked up to Kouga. He stretched a hand to help him up.

Kouga growled and was about to trip him when Inuyasha kicked him in the stomach sending him unconscious.

" Well that's that," he said to himself.

" Inuyasha."

He turned his gaze to see Kagome walking towards him " Is he..is he?"

" Nope he's just unconscious."

" Oh."

Inuyasha looked at her face. His cheeks began to feel strangely hot. He then realized he was blushing. He turned away from her.

" You should go home," he said.

" But didn't you say that..."

" Haven't you seen the time?"

Kagome glanced at her watch, " What five thirty! My mom is gonna kill me!"

She began running when she felt herself being lifted up and thrown on a hard surface.

" I'll take you home."

" Inuyasha?"

" Who else could it be?"

She giggled at tapped him on his head, " You jerk." She said playfully as Inuyasha went faster along the pavement.

Kagome slid off Inuyasha's back. It was even later now. The first signs of night were beginning to show. They both walked up the shrine steps quietly.

" Thanks for dropping me here. I'll see ya tomorrow," she whispered.

" It was nothing."

Kagome slid the door open silently. She hoped no one would see her but then...

" Kagome!"

She looked down at the kid, " Souta. Be quiet. I don't want mama to know that I came home this late."

Souta became silent. He then looked to see a tall person standing next to his sister, " Kagome is this guy your boyfriend or something?"

Kagome and Inuyasha blushed, "No! He's just my friend!" Kagome turned to face Inuyasha, " This is my annoying little brother Souta."

" Hey."

" How's it doing?" Inuyasha said.

Souta looked up at him, " You're tall and you look pretty strong."

" Thanks kid."

Kagome smiled. Her smile turned into a frown when she heard her mother voice.

" Kagome! Are you there!"

" You're gonna be in so much trouble Kagome," said Sota.
