Hello everybody! I think that I will be having 3-4 more chapters for this
story unless I can come up with another original adventure for our
misguided duo. This is the chapter you've all been waiting for. Kouga
finally makes his appearance.
Chapter 6: Girlnapping
After a restless night's sleep Kagome wasn't feeling too well. She constantly had to keep her wits about her or otherwise her inherited body would go berserk. Sure Inuyasha's body didn't need as much rest as a normal human, but could it go without sleep for three days and fight demons as well? Kagome was planning on testing all of her body's endurance. Now, as the party traveled she kept her distance from Inuyasha by staying in the trees.
The group had packed up camp and headed to the north. It was time for some more shard hunting!
Walking along, Inuyasha was trying to multi task. He was putting as much concentration into his shard detecting powers as possible without tripping over his own feet.
"I need some action." Inuyasha muttered as he longingly watched Kagome bounce through the trees. "I'm going to bore myself to death otherwise."
He sighed and resumed his scan for jewel fragments. "Aha!" he thought triumphantly "There's one!" However, before he shouted the alarm he caught himself. "There's something weird about this." He muttered.
Concentrating harder he realized what it was. He wasn't detecting a shard from the Jewel. He was detecting two of them! "Wow two shards in the same place." He thought happily. Things were definitely going to pick up soon.
The wind changed direction.
"Hey guys there's." Inuyasha stopped in mid sentence as he sensed yet another fragment in close proximity with the other two.
"What is it Inuyasha?" Miroku inquired. "Have you sensed a shard from the Shikon no Tama?"
"Hold on a second." Inuyasha said concentrating even harder. The hanyou then realized that the shards were moving at a high speed. His inability to detect all three simultaneously must have resulted from his lack of experience and the fact that they were quite far away.
However, the latter problem was being amended since the fragments were approaching them extremely fast, "Three shards moving at a high speed towards our current location." He murmured to himself. "That can only mean one thing."
Inuyasha turned towards his comrades and shouted, "We have a problem. It's."
Just then there was an explosion from the brush on the side of the path. "Hhhhhhhhheeeeeeerrrrrrreeeeeee'sssssss KOUGA!" the wolf demon yelled as he burst from the foliage.
The troublesome demon landed at Inuyasha's side as the rest of the party stood, stunned, by his sudden entry. Scooping the miko's body in one arm he waved to the rest of his comrades and said. "I don't have time to talk. I caught an enticing aroma downwind and thought I'd come check it out." As he turned to go he said to his rival, "You're really getting sloppy dog boy. You didn't even throw one insult or punch this time."
With that Kouga raced from the scene with Inuyasha tucked under his arm.
"Inyasha!" cried Kagome as she regained her composure. However, the pair was out of ear shot and rapidly fading from sight. "This is not good." She said turning to the rest of her comrades. "Kouga has no idea that we have changed bodies!"
"Quick Kagome!" Shippo shouted. "You had better track them before we lose them completely."
Sniffing around Kagome found the scent of Inuyasha's heat and tried to follow it. However, she quickly lost it and had to search around to pick up the trail again. "I'm not used to this yet." She mumbled. "Finding Inuyasha could take awhile."
Wind whipped around him as Kouga carried a protesting Inuyasha through the woods at breakneck speed.
Yelling obscenities and thrashing around, Inuyasha made Kouga's escape as difficult as possible.
"Damnit wench," Kouga said to his captive. "If you don't stop fighting me I may drop you."
He was answered by another stream of insults and redoubled efforts at injuring the wolf demon.
"It seems that your prolonged exposure to that mutt face has given you a rather dirty tongue." Kouga remarked with a smile as he sped through the forest.
Kouga tried every trick in the book to make his trail nearly impossible to follow; splashing through rivers, running over rock, and climbing mountains.
Finally, Kouga crested the top of a cliff and judged that he was far enough away from that bothersome Inuyasha to stop and take a look at his prize.
Looking the miko's body up and down Kouga remarked. "Looking fine Kagome, I'm surprised that Inuyasha hasn't let you die yet."
"Shut up wolf boy." Inuyasha replied angrily. "I would never..." He stopped suddenly realizing his error.
"He thinks I'm Kagome!" Inuyasha thought to himself. "I can turn this situation to my advantage. If I just make it clear right now that Kagome doesn't want him he'll have to back off. I can put my rival out of the running right here and now!"
Out loud he said. "Er... I mean Inuyasha would never let any harm come to me. He is the coolest, toughest, and best looking demon I know."
Kouga let out a harsh laugh, "That half breed?" he asked advancing on the girl. "He's nothing compared to me."
"You're wrong @hole." Inuyasha shouted pushing Kouga away vehemently. "There is no one in the world that can best my Inuyasha."
"My, my, my, you're feisty now aren't you?" Kouga said with a smirk. "I like that." He said trying again to get in close for some lovin.
"You don't get it!" Inuyasha shouted at the wolf demon as he scampered backwards, "Inuyasha and I are in love!"
In the silence that followed Inuyasha thought smugly, "Well that's that. Score one for me! Now Kouga will stay out of my hair forever."
Kouga thought about the reply from the girl before him and shrugged. "It doesn't matter. You're my woman Kagome. I thought I made that very clear."
Inuyasha was stunned. "You idiot! Why is it so hard to grasp that I don't like you at all?!"
In response Kouga merely shook his head in amusement. "It seems Inuyasha has somehow brain washed you into thinking that you love him." Silencing Inuyasha's angry protests with a claw Kouga took a deep whiff of the air.
"Damn Kagome," he said his eyes closed in ecstasy. "Your fragrance has all but stripped me of my defenses. I desire you right now. You will be my bride!"
A mile away Kagome was not having very much luck in finding Inuyasha. Kouga's tricks had served their purpose and Kagome repeatedly lost the scent.
"AArrrgghhh!" This is hopeless Kagome cried out. "There's no way that we can catch up to Kouga at this pace. Is there anything else we can do?" she asked turning toward Miroku.
"There isn't anything else that I can think of." Miroku replied. "We already have Sango and Kirara patrolling the sky in hopes of spotting them, but our best chance at Inuyasha's salvation still relies on that nose of yours."
"I can't do it!" Kagome sobbed. "I just can't pick up on the scent long enough to get a good bead on their destination."
Shippo piped up, "It's ok Kagome. All you have to do is try your best and everything will work out in the end."
"Thanks Shippo," Kagome said as she turned toward the fox demon. "Everything will work out like it usually does."
Squaring her shoulders Kagome strengthened her resolve and continued the search for Kouga.
Horrified at this turn of events Inuyasha looked for a means of escaping this newest trap that Kouga had laid. Jumping off the cliff seemed like a good alternative to marrying Kouga. In fact anything beat being married to Kouga.
"You can't marry me!" Inuyasha declared hastily.
"And why not?" Kouga asked as he deeply inhaled more of the brain scrambling hormones from the air.
"Er. because I'm already betrothed to Inuyasha!" Inuyasha shouted satisfied.
"That outta solve all of my problems now." The hanyou thought to himself. "Now I won't have to jump off the cliff to my death. Inuyasha you sly dog. Why didn't you say that sooner!"
"He proposed to me a week ago and I gladly accepted his invitation." Inuyasha continued. "We are going to get married in Kaede's village with a whole crowd of people to witness our love finally united. Afterwards we will have plenty or pups and settle down in a nice cozy house with a white demon repelling picket fence." Said Inuyasha lost in a daydream. "I'll have my ears rubbed and all the ramen I want." He mused to himself, seemingly unaware of Kouga and the fact that he had stepped out of character.
Luckily Kouga didn't hear the last parts. But unfortunately, Inuyasha's announcement of a marriage proposal had sent him into a deep rage. "Why that bastard half breed!" He thundered. "How dare he try and steal my woman?! He is going to pay for his mistake with blood!"
With that Kouga took off. He was headed back towards Kagome and Miroku with a wild bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
"He is going to die!" Kouga thought grimly as he streaked through the landscape. "Then Kagome will be mine and mine alone." He ran even faster.
Whoa. What's going to happen next you ask? Well stay tune in the next couple of days to see if I am able to post anything else. I severely doubt I'll be able to put any more chapters up this weekend since I am going to be hella busy. So be patient and enjoy what you have in front of you. Anyways go an review like good readers and maybe I'll have more incentive to hook you up with another chapter sooner.
