Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Chapter seventeen: And the winner is!

"You don't have a chance against me, Kouga." Inuyasha taunted the

wolf. He knew he didn't have a chance with only one arm since he

wasn't used to his disability yet. Hell he was going to give it a

try anyway.

"We see about that dog trud." Kouga circled Inuyasha waiting for

an opening so he could strike. "You made a mistake missing with my

woman and you know Sesshoumaru is going to kick your ass after what

you tried to do to Aiko."

Inuyasha laughed, not waiting to show Kouga he was nervous.

"I really don't care, Kouga." Inuyasha was bleeding from his

shoulder. It was time to attack. "Blades of Blood."

Kouga managed to get anyway from his attack. But like Kouga

thought Inuyasha was nothing without the tetsuaiga.



"Is that all you have stupid mutt?" Kouga leaped in slashing

Inuyasha a cross his chest.

"Ahhhhhh." Inuyasha went down. Damn he hated that wolf. "You are

a bastard!"

"I'm not finished with you yet Inuyasha." Kouga ran full out on

Inuyasha planning to end his sorry excuse for a life.

"Like hell." Inuyasha leaped up striking Kouga through the

shoulder. Which pissed him off even more.

Kouga fell back he wasn't expecting Inuyasha to leap up like that.

"You will pay for that one dog trud."

Inuyasha smirked. "We'll see about that stupid wolf. Let's try

this one more time Kouga." Inuyasha strike with his blades of blood.

Kouga jumped out of the way. But not in time since he was cut in

the chest. Kouga was losing too much blood.

"What's the matter wolf?" Inuyasha stalked to Kouga grinning he

was finally going to kill the wolf.

"Kouga!!" Both Inuyasha and Kouga heard Kagome call his name.

Inuyasha smelled both his brother and Miroku with her. There was

going one thing left to do. Run!

"Tell next time wolf." Inuyasha ran off knowing he couldn't fight

off his brother and Miroku. He would have to wait.

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

"Kouga!" Kagome ran to her mate. She saw him on the ground

bleeding from a chest wound and a wound on his shoulder by the

blood on the ground she could tell Inuyasha was hurt as well.

Kouga however was hurt badly.

Kouga tried to smile at her. "Even with one arm that mutt still

took me down." Lucky dog Kouga thought to himself. Inuyasha just

proved he could be as dangerous without his sword and with only

one arm.

"He's gone." Sesshoumaru kneeled down on the other side of his

friend. He went to see if he could catch up to Inuyasha but the

bastard was hiding his scent. "You did good Kouga. Inuyasha is

hurt as badly as you are." Sesshoumaru could figure that out by

the blood on the ground. Not all of it was Kouga's blood.

Kouga laughed softly. "Was that supposed to make me feel better?"

Sesshoumaru smiled. "Yes,"

"It worked." Kouga started to cough he was hurting badly.

His pride was a little hurt to being beaten by a one arm mutt.

"We need to get him back to the house." Miroku said after cleaning

the wounds. "We need to fix him up. It's a damn good thing we

came along Kouga or there is no telling what would have happened."

"He's right Kouga you could have been killed." Kagome cried she

was so close to losing her mate to that crazy demon. Everything

was getting out of hand. Inuyasha was becoming insane if he wasn't

already.

"We have to hunt him down now." Sesshoumaru said as he picked up

Kouga and walked back to the mansion. "Inuyasha is getting to wild

we have to stop him now."

"How are we going to do that, Sess?" Kouga said he was trying to

stay a wake. "Inuyasha is very good at hiding."

"Miroku when we get back I want you to get everyone together and

I mean the whole pack." Sesshoumaru told the wolf demon that was

walking beside him trying to calm down Kagome. "I'll contact some

friends and we'll end this now. Too many people are getting hurt."

Miroku nodded, he trusted Sesshoumaru as will as Kouga and he

would follow both of them to hell if need be. Inuyasha wasn't

the same friend they knew in the past so he wouldn't care if

Inuyasha did die. Now that Miroku had his life back and Sakura

he wasn't about to let the insane dog demon destroy it again.

"Sure thing Sesshoumaru." Miroku said guiding Kagome beside him.

She was still crying very worried about Kouga. Kagome was finally

happy and now Inuyasha was trying to take it away.

Kagome looked over to where Sesshoumaru was carrying Kouga. He

was finally unconscious which Kagome was glad at least he wasn't

feeling any pain now.



"Do not worry he will be fine Kagome." Miroku smiled at her she

really was upset. He wanted to reasure her that the wolf prince

will live. Kouga was to stubborn to die. "Will make Inuyasha

pay for what he did."

Miroku watched as a cold look entered Kagome's face.

"Yes, he will and pay dearly for what he did." Was all Kagome

said.

I hoped you liked the story. Please read and review.

Don't worry Kouga will get Inuyasha in the end.
