Inuyasha and Kagome: Inuyasha's Trials Part 3
********************************************************************************************
Last time:
"Grrr...why you, how dare you think that Kagome would ever fall for something that's only half when she could have the whole thing" Inuyasha was, for once, effected by what Kouga said. True he did love Kagome and wanted to tell her, but he never thought about how Kagome felt about him. What if she didn't like him? Could he stand to have his heart broken again?
********************************************************************************************
'No, she feels the same way about me that I do about her, there is no doubting it' (what? Did you really think I would leave him doubting) "Move it wolf, I don't have time for you" "And what if I don't, half-breed" Inuyasha drew the tetssaiga "either I go around you or through you, your choice." "Do you really think you can defeat me?" Inuyasha smirk as he went into his usual stance, "No, I think I can kill you, and this time Kagome isn't around to stop me". "I'm gonna wipe that smug grin off your face" "just try it".
Inuyasha sheathed his sword "No weapons, just one on one" "sounds good". Inuyasha charged at Kouga, who dodged easily "Ha! I'm to fast for you" "Your right, but your also predictable" Kouga turned and saw Inuyasha standing on the well. "Like I said wolf-boy, I don't have time for a fight, I have to go see my Kagome...ya, I like the sound of that, MY Kagome". Inuyasha jumped back smirking, but just before he fell into the well, Kouga tackled him and they fell into the well together. (No, its not like that get your minds out of the gutter people)
~Kagome's Time~
Inuyasha appeared on the other side of the well, but he wasn't alone. "What? How did you get here?" Kouga laughed huskily "Don't you get mutt-face, it was all a trap, everything. Kikyo, Naraku, and myself, and you called me predictable. This was all done just so one of us could get to the other side" Kouga laughed again.
"Other side, you mean, you knew about Kagome being from another time" "Ya and you have your friends to thank for that, they let it slip that this well was the portal that Kagome used, but they also said that you could get through it too, and they were right. So after you ran off to the village, Kikyo appeared and cut a deal with me to get me to Kagome's world so I could take her for myself"
As he spoke the sun rose, and a raven-haired girl was just getting up. Kagome looked around her room "hmm... it looks like Inuyasha isn't back yet. Well, I just do what Sota said I guess, though I am worried. Speaking of which." Her door opened and in popped a little head "Kagome your not ready yet, you have practice this morning" (If you are wondering how Sota knows all this, he just does, I consider him to be somewhat of Kagome's voice of reason, so he just knows and nobody questions it) "Oh my god your right" kagome dove into her closet looking for something to wear "Sota, you'll have to eat cereal for breakfast, I don't have time to cook" "That's okay, I already ate" Kagome ran out of her closet fully dressed then ran into the bathroom, and ran out a few minutes later ready to go.
'You're a dear Sota ya know that, I really don't know what I would do without you" She patted her little brother on the head, "Now lets get going" Sota nodded and followed his sister outside where they heard undistinguishable shouts coming from the well. "Sota go wait in the car" Sota obliged to Kagome's command figuring it was for the best. Kagome picked up a bow and arrow and aimed for the well house.
~meanwhile~
"She's not yours, you damn wolf, how many times do I have to tell you that". Inuyasha was still fighting with Kouga, and Kouga was still possessive as ever. It had turned out that Kikyo was hoping to trap Inuyasha by making him putty in her hands, then have him take Kouga to the other side to have him take Kagome so she could no longer get "in between" Kikyo and Inuyasha. Kouga, wanting Kagome, had, of course, agreed. So now Inuyasha and Kouga were fighting in the well house, unknowing of the young miko approaching.
~Back to Kagome~
"Who ever is by the well better come out now!" Sure here words seemed brave, but she was terrified. She couldn't identify who's voices were there, and it couldn't be Inuyasha because he has no one here to fight with....or so she thought at least.
Kagome slowly approached the well and took a peek inside, and there she saw it, that oh too familiar haori. She gave a sigh of relief...but...who was he arguing with. She leaned in further to get a better look and..."KOUGA!, what the hell is he doing here'. Kagome dropped the bow and arrow and stood there tapping her foot, but after not being able to figure it out she entered the well house. "Inuyasha?" He turned around, "Oi, Kagome...uh...I can explain" "I certainly hope so, but you'll have to explain later cause I have to take Sota to school and get to school my self."
Kouga ran over and swept Kagome off her feet...literally, "Kagome, come on, lets go back to my tribe where you will finally get away from this waste and can be with me" Kagome was certainly not happy with his forwardness "Kouga? Put. Me. Down. Now!" "But...Kagome, what's wrong" Kagome hopped out of his arms, "I have to go to school and I'll be gone for awhile and I wont you to stay here, and Kouga don't you even think of leaving this house, Inuyasha make sure he stays here, its not safe for you guys in my time" Kagome walked out then popped her head back in "Oh and Kouga" "Yes my dear Kagome" "I'M NOT YOUR WOMAN!!" And with that she was gone.
A smirk appeared on Inuyasha's face "I told you so" "Quite mutt-face, she''l be mine soon enough" "Stop dreaming already. Now come on, I'll show you around the house so you know where every thing is" Kouga looked at Inuyasha suspiciously, "Why are you helping me?" "Because you stupid wolf, things are done a certain way in this time, and until Kagome gets back from school to take you back, I don't want you doing anything that might embarrass her." "Oh". Inuyasha spent the day showing Kouga around and answering his question, they got along pretty well since Kouga's possessiveness over Kagome didn't come up once.
~at school~
Kagome ran up the stairs to the school theater, late once again. 'Is it just me, or can I not avoid being late for anything'. She bursts through the doors and ran up to the stage and stopped to catch her breath. "Kagome, there you are" said the director "sorry..I'm...late..." she said in between gasping for air. "That's okay, just get back stage to and get ready to go through the first scene" "Yes sir" Kagome bowed and obeyed. They didn't even get through the first scene, the director stopped them so many times, and they had an hour of more practice after school.
Kagome went through school, doing her best to act normal and get her work done while trying to figure out what to do about her problem at home. She had told Sota to go to his friends house again after school, but he couldn't cause he never got his work done there, that and he wanted to go home and play with Inuyasha. So Sota won in the end and Kagome still had to go get him after school.
Even though Kagome thought she was acting normal, she must have been a little off because she snapped out her thoughts to find it was lunch and her friend Rita was through bits of her lunch at Kagome. "Rika, will you quite that out." "Sorry Kagome, but I was just making sure you were still alive" "Ya, Kag, you have been pretty out of it all day" , this time it was her friend Aya that spoke. (Okay, I don't know the actually names of Kagome's three girlfriends, so I am going to make them up) "I guess I am just having some problems" "Is this about that guy Kagome? How many times do we have to tell you, you deserve someone better" said Aya "Listen, Inuyasha might rude, crude, possessive, and a total jerk, but he is also sweet, caring, and is willing to give his life for me and I love him" "But doesn't he have the other girl?" spoke her friend Yukino (Okay, I know its from Kare Kano, but I ran out of ideas for names) "You mean Kikyou? Ya, I guess so, but she's his ex, and he does try to avoid her, but its not like he's my boyfriend really, but just being around Inuyasha makes me happy and that's enough for me" Yukino and Aya just merely huffed, not happy that their friend was "wasting" her teenage years with a guy who might not even like her, but Rita has a different view of it "So will we ever get to meet him, inuyasha I mean?" "Huh? Oh I don't know, he's rather eccentric, you might not like him" "Non-sense Kagome, if you like him I'm sure we will" "thanks Rita...well ya know...why don't you guys come by tomorrow after school, he should be there, you can meet him" the three nodded in agreement and Kagome just smiled 'great that gives me 24 hours to make Inuyasha look at least half-way human.
After school Kagome went to rehearsal, she wouldn't mind if so much if Hojo didn't hit on her every three minutes. She had to keep on turning him down cause she had enough problems for know, that and she was afraid she'd kick his ass out of pure annoyance before Inuyasha could for hitting on her. She left her school around five and picked up Sota. On her way home, Kagome stopped by a store and picked up some clothes she thought Inuyasha might like, with Sota's help. Then they went home.
~#~
Kagome stopped the car at the bottom of the stairs, grabbed the clothes and headed up with Sota following her eager to see Inuyasha again. But she didn't get up ten steps before Kouga ran down picked her up and carried her to the top, "No woman of mine should have to walk so much". Kagome was just about to yell at him, but didn't get the chance since a fist came flying right into Kouga's face. Kouga dropped kagome, but she was caught by that lovable hanyou before she hit the ground. "Thanks Inuyasha" "No problem" Inu put her down and told Kouga to keep his hands to himself .
"Hey Kagome what's in the bags?" "Oh, there for you Inuyasha" She handed him the bags "They're some clothes of my time, so you could wear them as a disguise and we can go out without having trouble. Why don't you and Sota go inside and he can show you what to wear while I take Kouga back to Sengoku Jidai". Inuyasha didn't get a chance to protest cause within seconds he was dragged off by Sota. Then turned her attention to the wolf yokai who was currently getting of the ground.
"Come on Kouga, lets go" Kouga's face lit up "So your going to come with me". 'god does he ever give up?' thought kagome, "No, Kouga, I am going to take you back to your time". "No way, I am not going to leave you here alone with that mutt-face". Kagome's fist tightened, "Kouga. get. to. the. well. now." Kouga, not wanting to be hit again, obliged and went to the well followed by Kagome.
