Silver on the Other Side

Last time:

"If that bastard lays a hand on her he knows he will die!"

~*~

"I could fucking care less about your laws. If I fuck her first she's mine."

~*~

Two strong hands caught her and she was over somebody's shoulder again. The trees were a blur of green and autumn colors. ~This better be InuYasha…~

~*~

On with it, ne?

Shippou whined again from his perch on Tousai's shoulder. They'd been walking for about an hour and there was no sign of InuYasha or Kagome. Not even the wolves. The small kitsune was hungry and was eagerly awaiting their arrival to their home.

"Calm yourself Shippou. InuYasha is only a few minutes away and I have a feeling that he has the lady Kagome with him also."

"Well duh! He wouldn't come back without her. Wether he likes it or not the law is the law. We're all bound by it."

"Some choose not to follow it little one. Always remember that. Never trust somebody because the law binds them."

Shippou nodded at his grandfather's wisdom. His old age was accompanied by great knowledge and wisdom, all acquired first-hand. The stories of his grandfather's youthful adventures kept everybody at the village, both young and old, hungry for more. Among the other small kitsunes Shippou was not exactly well-liked because his grandfather preferred him above all others. ~They're so jealous because I get a little bit of attention from Grandpa Tousai…~

~*~*~

Kagome's head lolled off to the side on InuYasha's shoulder as the trees whizzed past them. InuYasha's hair flew back from his vision and he clearly saw the forms of Tousai and Shippou up ahead. He started his decent to the ground and kept up his speed. Pretty soon he would be right in front of them. He quickly started to slow down and the dirt picked up around him. He grinned at the two familiar faces of his companions.

"I see you've brought her back InuYasha."

"Of course I did old man. What'd you expect?"

"Nothing less."

Shippou jumped onto his shoulder and poked Kagome lightly on her sides.

"Well damn, you brought her back dead idiot!"

"WHAT?!"

InuYasha immediately put Kagome on the ground and practically ripped open her dress to put his ear to her chest. She was still breathing, though it was a bit labored, and her heart was still beating. He took off his coat and covered her with it.

"Shippou…" he growled.

"Yes," he squeaked back.

"Come here!"

Shippou ran from the obviously furious InuYasha, prince of the dog demons. He jumped from side to side but in the end his tail was the death of him. InuYasha glared at him as he mercilessly held the kitsune by the tail.

"Dead?!"

"She's pale, cold, clammy…. What was I supposed to think?"

"You could've verified it before making that statement!"

"Worried about your mate," Tousai spoke behind them, "Prince InuYasha?"

InuYasha growled, reddened by the statement made by the older man.

"You shut up grandpa."

"I see I hit the spot. But before you two start to growl at each other like pups why don't you get your mate to a warmer, safer place before she DOES die?"

InuYasha growled one last time before letting the kitsune go. He walked towards Kagome and picked her up.

"She's more trouble than she's worth," growled InuYasha before setting on his way.

"Where to InuYasha?"

"Home."

Tousai sighed and picked up his grandson before setting off before the half-demon who was halfway through the forest already.

~*~*~

"Prince Kouga, what happened to you?!"

Ayame screamed with intensity at the sight of her beloved wounded so frightfully. She tried to see if he was alright and he only shoved her aside.

"Ginta!"

His friend appeared out of the depths of the cave.

"Yeah?"

"He took Kagome. I want you and the guys to look for her and don't do something stupid. Await my orders. Find out where she is, how she is, and how to get her out. Then report back to me."

Ginta quickly left to round up a group of men to do just as his boss had ordered him to do. Ayame stayed, growling lightly.

"What happened to you?"

Kouga looked at her for an instant before going back to bandaging his wounds.

"I got into a fight, isn't it obvious?"

He sneered. He wasn't about to let his pack know that he had jumped on a roof trying to get his potential mate and then stepped on a loose board and fell through. The cuts and scrapes looked deep enough so that he could say it was made by InuYasha.

"Who is this… Kagome?"

"My mate-to-be."

Ayame's eyes widened and her face reddened with anger.

"B-But that's me! I am your mate-to-be! I have spent nights with you and it would be shameful upon my family if you didn't take me as your mate. Plus, I haven't heard of her. Is she not one of our own?"

"She is a beautiful human. Her beauty suits my needs, unlike your own."

Her eyes filled with tears and she ran out of the prince's cave. ~How dare that woman try to take my mate from me?! Does she not know what he is taken or does she not care? She will pay either way!!!~

Ayame went to her own cave and picked up her bows and knives. She grinned in the dark as she followed the smell of Ginta and the others. Men and women accompanied him, meaning the mission was of great importance. She growled and followed closely behind.

~*~*~

Kagome's eyes opened and shut right back. Every thing swimmed around and she felt dizzy. She groaned and touched her forehead. Her hand recoiled at the heat that radiated from there.

"Damn… I have a fucking fever…"

"Well, well, well," said a familiar voice in the room, "so the princess has a different vocabulary does she?"

"Oh fuck off," she said to whoever was messing with her head. She felt bad and this idiot was making it worse.

"Hmph! I'm staying here all night, so get used to it. Those wolves aren't giving up that easily. They want you back."

"Shit, what wolves?"

"The ones that tried to, let's see what did you call it ah yes, rape you?"

"Damn those bastards…"

Kagome tried to get up but ended up falling right back down onto the bed.

"Stop faking it already."

"I'm not faking anything you idiot! I have a fever, everything's going in circles, and you are not helping!"

InuYasha growled lightly before going to her side and touching her forehead. He took his hand back almost instantly. ~Damnit she has a fever!~ He went to the door and started screaming his white-haired head off.

"Where the hell is everybody?! Get your asses up she has a damn fever!!!"

All the maids immediately clambered in, some not even decent enough. He growled at them and demanded them to bring cold water for the princess. They immediately nodded and left, except for one. Kikyou.

"What do you need Kikyou?"

"Who is she InuYasha?"

"Have you lost your sense? I'm your prince."

"Who is she?"

"Damned wench. She is my future wife. Any problems, questions, or concerns you can talk to my ass."

Kikyou sneered and lifted her hands.

"Don't even try to cast a curse on her Kikyou. My mother can just damn you right back to hell."

Kikyou shut her mouth and lowered her hands. She huffed and left quickly from the room. ~To think she was the one that was indecent in my presence. Whore…~

~*I know…. I didn't update in a long time… Woops.*~
