Chapter nine: Kouga and Sess vs. Kikyo.



Kouga left his room quietly not wanting

to wake up Kagome. He could smell scent

of death near by and knew that Kikyo had

dropped in for a visit.

Sesshoumaru and Shippo were waiting

outside his room when Kouga walked out.

"I see I wasn't the only one who woke up

from the stench." Kouga smirked.

"The dead miko seems to be on her own."

Sesshoumaru was in his normal form. He

even had his markings on his face. "She's

waiting in the garden."

Kouga looked over at Shippo. "Watch

over the girls while Sess and I have a talk

with Inuyasha's bitch." Kouga told his son

he knew it could be a trap Inuyasha could

show up at any moment.

Shippo nodded, he knew what kind of

person Inuyasha was he couldn't believe

that at one time Inuyasha was his hero. "I

will, Kouga." Shippo wasn't the little

scarey fox that he used to be. "I won't let

you down, father."

Kouga roughed up Shippo's red hair. "I

know you won't, Shippo." Kouga looked at

the age of his late twenties now but still it

would be weird if Sakura heard Shippo

call him father.

Kouga followed Sesshoumaru out to the

gardens in the back of his house. Kikyo

was standing near the roses. "So what

does the dead bitch want?" Kouga said

harshly. He hated the woman if that's

what you want to call her.

Kikyo smirked. "Kouga, and Lord

Sesshoumaru. How nice it is to see you

again after all these years." She lied

through her teeth. "I have some

information I'm sure you would want to

hear."

"Why should we trust you?" Sesshoumaru

wanted more then anything to claw the hell

out of the dead miko. "You did after all

attack Aiko. I do not like it when someone

tries to hurt my ward."

Kikyo frowned, she had no idea Inuyasha

went after Sesshoumaru's new ward. He

had her believing that he was after her

reincarnation. "I had no idea Inuyasha

was going to hurt your ward,

Sesshoumaru." In that at least she was

telling the truth. Even Kikyo wasn't that

stupid to go after Sesshoumaru's ward

twice. The first time they were lucky that

Sesshoumaru was too deep in his grief to

find them.

Kikyo knows that if it happens this time

he won't stop until both her and Inuyasha

is dead. Or in Kikyo's sense sent back to

hell.

"I'm telling the truth." Kikyo smiled there

was one way to get out of this. "Inuyasha

told me he was going after Kagome. He

wants the shikon no tama for it's power."

Kikyo wanted to laugh at Kouga's

reaction. The fear on his face thinking

how he could lose the woman, he loved.

Or she was until Kouga picked her by her

neck shoving her up against the tree. "You

and your pet will stay away from my

mate." Kouga's eyes were turning red.

Kikyo knew what that means. "You will

not take her away again." Kouga was

about to choke the life out of her when

Sesshoumaru placed a hand on his

shoulder.

"Let's see what the bitch has to say."

Sesshoumaru said in his claim voice as

much as he wanted Kouga to tear her open

they had to think this through. "She might

know something that we can use against,

Inuyasha."





Kouga dropped Kikyo he didn't give a

damn if she got hurt or not. "Start

talking." He was not in a mood to play

games. If the dead bitch was missing with

him then he would rip out her throat.

Kikyo stepped back out of fear making

her angry she never was this afraid of

Inuyasha. Kouga was angry he was

protecting the one he loves from all harm.

Kikyo felt sad she knew no one could love

her like that. She better tell them what all

she knows before Kouga lost it. Kikyo

didn't know much but she knew

Inuyasha's plan to get Kagome and jewel.

"Inuyasha plans to make Kagome come to

him." Kikyo smirked when Kouga roared.

"How does my bastard of a brother plan

to do that wench?" Sesshoumaru had a

bad feeling about all of this.

"Inuyasha knows how hard it would be to

get to her with you and Kouga watching

over her." Kikyo saw Kouga paled. He

was getting the idea. "Inuyasha plans to

take one of Kagome's relatives to make her

come to him."

Kouga growled, it would seem that the

dog trud wasn't all that stupid after all.

"Are you sure about this?" If this was a

trap, Kikyo would pay.

"Yes, I am." Kikyo wanted to leave she

knew Kouga was about to attack her. "He

wants my help to pull it off."

"And why are you telling us this?"

Sesshoumaru wanted to get to the point.

Why did Kikyo want to go against

Inuyasha?

Kikyo snarled. "Inuyasha doesn't care

about me he wants Kagome and the shikon

no tama. After he gets what he wants I

know that he will try to kill me. I want to

get him first, Sesshoumaru." Kikyo smiled

sweetly at the two demons. "It's up to you

on how you want to use the information I

gave you." Kikyo started to walk away.

"He plans to get the boy in two days."

With that she was gone.

"What do you think?" Kouga asked

Sesshoumaru he knew Inuyasha better

then anyone.

"I think she might be right."

Sesshoumaru thought it was best to act.

"We should bring your mate's family

here."

Kouga nodded, his friend was right after

all. Kouga turned walking back to the

house. He had plans to make.
