Chapter sixteen: Kouga vs.

Inuyasha.

It has been two weeks since the

last time Aiko was attacked by

Inuyasha. Kouga was worried he

knew it was only the matter of

time before he strikes again.

Sesshoumaru and Shippo

guarded Aiko more now then

ever. She didn't even go to

school anymore. The same for

Kagome and Sakura it was safer

for both of them to stay in the

house. Kouga hated to keep

them locked inside like this but

until Inuyasha is stopped for

good there is no other way.

Kagome did not like able to

leave the mansion but she

understood why Kouga did what

he did. She was watching Souta

playing outside with Shippo and

Miroku. Sesshoumaru and

Kouga were inside talking about

something they didn't want her

to know.

"Hey sis are you okay?" Souta

saw the look on Kagome's face

and knew something was

bothering her.

Kagome smiled. "I'm just

worried about all of this Souta

that is all. I think I will go and

take a walk."

Souta frowned, he didn't think

that was such a good idea. "You

better have someone go with you,

Kagome." He knew Kouga

would give hell if he knew

Kagome went out of her own.

"No," Kagome said a little

harshly. " I need to be on my

own for a while Souta. Don't

worry nothing will happen to

me."

Souta sighed as he watched his

sister walk away. He ran into the

house to tell Kouga he had a bad

feeling about this.

*************************

"I know he's up to something,

Sess." Kouga said as he paced his

office floor. "And it's driving me

crazy."

Sesshoumaru smirked. "I can

tell. If he tries something, we will

know it Kouga so calm down."

Kouga glared at his best friend.

He was calm it was just the

waiting that was killing him. He

had a feeling something was

going to happen and it's really

getting to him.

"Come in." Kouga heard

Sesshoumaru say when they

heard knocking on the door. He

knew it was Souta by the smell.

Souta entered the office and

looked right at Kouga. "Kagome

went for a walk by herself. I told

her to take someone with her but

she wanted to be on her own."

Kouga growled, Kagome could

be too stubborn at times. Kouga

thanks Souta then ran out of the

office to find Kagome.

**********************

Kagome smiled, she felt good

finally getting away for a while.

As much as she loved Kouga he

could be a real pain in the ass at

times.

Inuyasha grinned, he finally had

Kagome all to himself with

Kouga or his brother around. He

knew Kagome would get tired of

being watched and would leave

for a while. The waiting paid off

and now he will have the jewel

and get even with the stupid wolf.

Inuyasha watched as Kagome

stopped and looked up to the

trees. It would seem she sense

him since she was a miko.

"I know you're there Inuyasha."

He heard Kagome say. "Show

yourself."

"Hello wench." Inuyasha said as

he jumped in front of Kagome.

"It's been a long time."

"Not long enough." Kagome

tired to stay calm and prayed

Kouga would come looking for

her. "What happened to you

Inuyasha why have you gotten

this way?"

Inuyasha laughed. "I like being

this way. Naraku was nothing

compared to me. Now look who I

have all to myself. You should

have stayed home Kagome."

Kagome wanted to run but she

knew Inuyasha would catch up to

her. There was nothing she could

do.

"Keep your hands off my woman

dog trud." Kagome sighed when

she heard the voice of her mate.

Inuyasha growled. "Shut up you

stupid wolf. Just because you're

here doesn't mean you can stop

me. I just beat you like I did all

those times before."

Kouga smirked. "Yes, but you

don't have your sword now dog

and you can't beat me without

it."

Inuyasha laughed he knew the

wolf would say something like

that. "Will we can see about

that?"

Kouga faced Inuyasha not taking

his eyes off of him while he talked

to Kagome.

"Kagome I want you to go back

home and stay there." Kouga

ordered. "Tell Sesshoumaru and

Miroku what's going on and do

not leave his side until I get

back."

Kagome nodded, she didn't want

her mate to worry about her.

Kagome took off running back to

mansion hoping Kouga would be

all right.

Inuyasha smirked knowing it

would piss the wolf off. "After

I'll kill you, I will go after your

bitch." Inuyasha taunted him.

Kouga snarled, he knew what

Inuyasha was trying to do. To get

him mad enough to strike first

without thinking. Kouga wasn't

a pup any more he wasn't as

careless as he was back when he

first meant Inuyasha.

"I don't think so dog shit."

Kouga strikes out with his claws

wanting more then anything to

claw out his eyes.

Inuyasha saw the attack coming

and was able to miss it. "Is that

all you got wolf?"

"At least I have both arms."

Kouga smirked glad to remind

Inuyasha that Sesshoumaru took

his arm.

Inuyasha growled, he would have

to bring that up. "It doesn't

matter, and Kouga I just need

one arm to defeat you."

Kouga grinned, he was going to

enjoy this. "Bring it on you dirty

mutt." Kouga was hoping to take

out Inuyasha other arm. Either

way Kouga was going to make

damn sure he hurt Inuyasha

really good.

"Let's go." The fight begins.
