~*Over the Edge: Chapter 36(wow, that's a lot) - Caught With Him*~
.
"But if you brought InuYasha, and it's still the New moon... and Kouga is... Oh no."
.
***
.
InuYasha watched as Shippou darted ahead of him, then noticed the dark figure in his way of
catching up, and stopped.
.
"You disgust me; and I'm not just talkn about your smell, dog-breath... My woman was-"
.
"She's not your woman Dumbass!" InuYasha got into a fighting stance before looking to the sky
to see that it would only be a little longer before dawn. Thankfully the trees made it darker, and
the fog that was coming in rouged him well, so Kouga probably couldn't tell he was in his human
form. "Kagome is mine!"
.
Kagome stood up and moved to lean against the side of the tree so she could 'see' things a little
better, and Shippou sat down beside her, clinging to her leg. She heard what InuYasha and
Kouga had said, and while she didn't like being referred to like a piece of property, she didn't
seem to mind that InuYasha was defending her.
.
InuYasha cracked his knuckles, getting ready for any attack the Ookami-yokai might try to pull,
hoping he could stall him long enough for the sun to come over the mountain, before he'd tare
the wolf's heart out from his thought and shove it up his ass if he'd done anything to Kagome.
Giving off an impressive growl for a 'human', he stared out into the darkness and thickening fog,
his feet digging into the muddy ground. At least if Kouga tried anything, that would be
something to slow him down.
.
Kouga let out a low growl, lowering himself into the mud as if ready to sprint toward the Inu-
hanyou. "Then. Why. Did. You. Let. Her. Leave?" The wolf launched himself out of the mud and
did a flip toward InuYasha, nearly landing a kick to his jaw; but even in his human form, the dog
demon had seen it coming, and dodged to the left.
.
"She was looking for the brat! How was I supposed to know she'd come this far out?!" He
dodged a punch from Kouga and unsheathed the rusty, untransformed, blade of his father's fang.
.
"She would be DOWNWIND dog-turd!" Kouga heard InuYasha move further away from him, or
rather, away from where Kagome and the kitsune were, undoubtably baring the blade he hated
most when it came to fighting the stupid dog boy.
.
InuYasha mentally slapped himself. He was in his human form, he couldn't have known Kagome
had gone so far out, but if the dumb wolf knew she'd been downwind, there was no way he could
challenge that without seeming weak.
.
The sun slowly crept over the peak of the mountain, but as InuYasha concentrated on the wolf's
movements he didn't notice the dull yellow rays of light that came beaming through the fog.
.
"What does it matter wolf-shit? I came didn't I?!"
.
The light filtered through the leaves slightly, showing off the coming colors of autumn though
they still held water from the storm. InuYasha's dark locks of hair began to sheen of silver again,
and his hearing sharpened as his ears moved back to the top of his head, already twitching from
agitation; claws formed on his hands, and his muscles tightened from anger. Blinking a few times
the dawn was noticeable, along with a little more ease to see through the fog that had formed. He
hadn't noticed how much it really was until the darkness didn't matter anymore.
.
"Yeah. But not before me. I was the one protecting her... You don't deserve her." The wolf spat,
slowly beginning to circle InuYasha as to put himself in between the hanyou an 'his woman'.
.
Baring his fangs to let out a snarl he lunged at the wolf yokai, landing a heavy punch to his
stomach, knocking the wind from him; he hadn't even seen it coming, either that or hadn't been
able to move out of the way with the mud slick at his feet.
.
Kagome watched as the two blurry figures fought. InuYasha had been sensible enough to stay out
of the way for a while, but with that last move her heart sped up. He had come so close to Kouga,
and she was surprised the wolf demon hadn't dodged his move.. she was GLAD he had taken the
blow; if he hadn't, she didn't know what might've happened to InuYasha.
.
But it was still too dark for her to tell that dawn had come. It was still too dark for her to tell that
InuYasha had turned back into is regular form and couldn't sense his youki because Kouga's
tama shards were clouding her miko senses. She took in a sharp breath when he didn't move
away and kept slashing at the wolf.
.
"InuYasha, STOP!"
.
The dog demon looked away from the bloody case of a wolf in front of him, to see Kagome off to
the side shouting after him. '..she couldn't really want him more than me...could she?..' "Oi
wench, can't you see I'm-"
.
He was cut off as Kouga came back to reality and kicked him away, using both his feet squarely
in his chest with a hard blow. He did a flip mid-air, but still landed in the thick mud with a thud,
some roots cutting into his bare feet.
.
.
"You have to stop fighting! I don't want to see you get hurt!"
.
With InuYasha still picking himself up, Kouga rushed over to where Kagome was and took her
hands in his. "It's so good to hear you care." Then he shouted over his shoulder to wherever
InuYasha was. "See! She's MY WOMAN."
.
But as Kagome opened her mouth to protest, she found that Kouga's mouth had locked over
her's. Feeling his tongue try to urge her teeth apart she pushed back on him, breaking his hold,
and he stared at her with wide eyes as her own narrowed.
.
Kouga felt a surge of pain as she pushed away from him. But not with his heart, in the shoulder
of which she had pushed him away. It was a numbing heat and he felt it was hard to move his
arm. His eyes widened as he realized it was the same arm of which held one of the cursed shikon
shards Naraku had planted in him. As her eye's narrowed in anger or whatever it was at that
point, he couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes. The power was surging off her, and she
had undoubtably almost purified part of him. He only ached more at her next few words.
.
"I'm NOT. YOUR. Woman!" Kagome looked beyond Kouga to see the hazy form of InuYasha
getting up from the mud where he had landed and put the untransformed tetsusigia back in it's
scabbard. Without even looking back to the Ookami-yokai she spoke softly, letting her gaze drop
to the muddy earth at her feet. "Kouga-kun, you should go now."
.
Her words weren't a request, and Kouga could tell he wouldn't live if he stuck around much
longer. He'd heard as InuYasha came near again, only hesitant probably because Kagome was
right in front of him. Not bothering to say 'goodbye' the wolf demon seemed to almost disappear
as he ran away with his amazing speed.
.
"Kagome?" InuYasha walked toward her, only stopping a few feet away to see what was wrong;
he still wanted to beat Kouga's face in, but it could wait. The only response he got was a sniff
and a muffled sob, along with the faint scent of her salty tears growing stronger yet; she did not
look up from the spot she'd been looking at since she'd spoken to the wolf-crap.
.
Stepping closer to close most of the gap between them, only leaving a few inches of open space,
he reached out and took her her chin, tilting her face up to bring her gaze to his. InuYasha hated
to see her cry, but he had been so worried when he had started looking for her, that something
could have happened; and the fact that wolf-boy was with her when he and Shippou arrived
didn't help.
.
He looked down on her with soft amber eyes, the light of dawn was now filtering through the
autumn leaves, giving the fog that hazed everything a warm red and orange glow; yellow rays of
sun spotted the ground where barren branches had allowed pure light to reach through. She
couldn't be mad. She WASN'T mad. She never really had been, but she was so scared, and still
was. She had been caught in the middle of nowhere and he hadn't even been there for her; but
now that he was back...she just was so glad everything was going to be okay, that he was able to
find her.
.
He moved his hand from her chin to her cheek, lightly caressing her soft skin; his other hand now
placed at her hip to keep her steady. She was shivering with cold and fear, but her bright blue-
grey eyes shown even with the tears fading away. He eased her into an embrace, comforting her
and offering some warmth from the brisk morning air of fall that was easing in since the storm
had passed.
.
After a moment she eased into him. She was tired with fatigue from searching aimlessly for
Shippou, barely resting before Kouga had showed up, let alone afterward; not to mention that just
being in the hanyou's arms made her feel safe again. But while she relaxed in his hold, she knew
they would have to head back to the village, so she could hopefully get some real rest.
.
Answering his question after she melted into his alms and let out her last few sobs, she softly
spoke the words as she nuzzled her face into is haori. "InuYasha, I was so scared... I'm sorry... I
really shouldn't have left..."
.
That was it; she had been upset over hm, worried he'd be mad at her. By all rights she should
expect that. It seemed every time until recently he'd call her a stupid bitch for forgetting things
that were usually the difference between life and death to them. Then they'd argue and she'd 'sit'
him a few times...but things were different now.
.
Pulling her back from him a little, he leaned in and nuzzled her tear-traced cheeks with his own,
then grazed her skin with is lips before placing a small kiss on her forehead. "It's not your fault
Kagome. I'm supposed to protect you. I should have followed." The words were reassuring, but
his last line was slightly bitter from what Kouga had said only a little earlier.
.
She lifted her face slightly to look into his eyes, filled with genuine concern, then leaned up on
her tip-toes to place a small kiss on his lips, which he in turn kissed back holding her more
closely again.
.
"Kagooommmeeeeeeeeeeee?! Are you two gonna just stand there all day and-"
.
Inuyasha shot a glare at the kitsune for slightly interrupting a tender moment between him and
the young miko, but dismissed it when he again noted how tired she was. "We really should head
back now... you need to rest."
.
Not even bothering to answer, Kagome leaned on him as he began to walk back toward the
village, Shippou bouncing into her arms as they left the small clearing, and her hanyou wrapping
a arm around her. It had been a long day, after she'd sleep, maybe she could get to take a hot
bath.
.
***
.
"Kagome." InuYasha nudged her back to reality as they came to the back end of the inn where
they were staying. She had drifted somewhat asleep while they had walked back, trusting him not
to guide her into any trees as they went.
.
"Hmn?" Blinking a few times, the building in front of them came into focus. "Oh, we're back."
Shippou was still in her arms, but with her sudden movements, she'd woken him as well, and he
was groggily looking around where they were.
.
But as the three of them went up on the back porch quietly as not to awake Sango and Miroku if
they were sleeping, they didn't expect what it was they saw upon sliding the screen aside to come
back in.
.
Miroku and Sango were in the middle of the room, in what was obviously a fiery kiss, the monk
practically on top of her, and Sango only pulling him closer, twining her fingers through his hair,
and his hands wandering freely over her.
.
"Aw man! And I thought it was gonna be better to come back here rather than stay and watch
InuYasha and Kagome-san all day; this is getting out of hand!"
.
Sango and Miroku were suddenly at opposite ends of the room, both panting for breath and trying
to avoid the three gazes that bore down on them. Even with as tired as Kagome was, she couldn't
help but to stare wit wide eyes. Was she hallucinating?
.
"Uh, we can explain..."
.

*gigles* well, I hope that satisfy you for now, though I'll admit i got into that one sceen enough
to stay on it for the whole chapter... I mean, I pretty much always skip around, even if just a

fluff added in.. though the thing with Kouga was only decided to be added in what? last chapter?
so i might involve it more, but right ow I have a few other things to concentrate on.. like,
catching Seiko up with the rest of the group... and SESSHY.. YAY!.. okidokie.. and shippou of
course.. and kikyou (damn bitch..) Wow, i have a lot to do.. i better go work on that.. NOW)..
