-@--@-
*Earlier that Day*
"KAGOME!" A loud male voice screamed through the hall. Frightened girls dashed back and forth trying to stay out of Koga's way. Rei heard him from all the way down the corridor. Fighting down her panic, she tried to remain calm in order to keep Koga out of the loop as long as possible. Kagome had left ten minutes ago, not enough time to get to Sengoku Jidai. Even through her efforts, Rei couldn't help but wince when her door crashed open.
"WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?" Koga roared, angrily approaching Rei. Swallowing hard, Rei willed all of the fear to dissipate leaving only cool sarcasm behind.
"What are you talking about?" Rei looked at Koga through her mirror. She kept a black and bored expression on her face. Her voice was calming and added to her illusion of innocence. Koga didn't buy it.
"Don't you play games with me bitch! I know you've been helping her!" Koga accused, his voice coming down a decibel.
"Helping who? What the hell are you talking about?" Rei slammed down her mascara and turned to face the furious wolf demon. Her expression was stern as she regarded him with disdain.
"You know damn well who! Kagome! Where the fuck is Kagome?" Koga's anger escalated at Reiana's continued denial.
"She has the flu or something. She's not coming in today," Rei answered coolly, as if it were completely obvious.
"Bullshit!" Koga stepped within arms reach of Reiana. "She's off with that new guy isn't she? What's his name and where the hell are they?" Koga's voice dropped low and threatening. It made Rei's blood run cold. "If you're cooperative I wound take my anger out on you.." he offered with a dangerous smile. Disgust raced through Rei's system.
"Oh good..You'll just take it out on Kagome instead. Great plan Koga," Rei said dryly. "You aren't going to fucking hurt Kagome anymore you bastard. She's safe with Inuyasha." Reiana flashed him a triumphant smile. The next minute she was sprawled over her vanity, her head pounding from Koga's blow. "Asshole," she gasped. Slowly she realized Koga's hands were tightening around her neck.
"Listen wench. Kagome. Is. Mine. Got that? And it is none of your fucking business as to how I deal with her!" Koga's face was unemotional as he continued to bear down on the struggling girl. Reiana was fast fading into darkness, her lungs screaming for air.
"Let her go now Koga!" Leilong's sharp voice ordered from the doorway. With short barreled shotgun pointed at Koga's back, the club owner had had quite enough of Koga's shit. Releasing Rei, Koga slowly turned to his former business partner. Reiana dropped to the ground and sucked in deep gulps of air. "Get the fuck out of here asshole. I don't want to see your worthless face around here again." Leilong's voice didn't waver and his aim never faltered. Holding up his hands, Koga backed down.
"Fine. I'm gone," he said quietly, striding quickly out of the club. Everyone remained tense until the door finally closed, shutting off Koga from their world. Once they were sure he was gone, Aimee and Ryoko rushed to Rei's sided. Even Leilong looked concerned.
"You alright Reiana?" he asked gruffly. Reiana nodded as Aimee and Ryoko helped her up. "You sure?" he asked again once she was standing on her own. Leilong made his living off of his girls. If his best one was down, so was he.
"I'm fine Leilong," Reiana croaked, her voice a little hoarse. Looking at her a moment longer, Leilong nodded.
"Take it easy the rest of the night..go on home." Turning on his heel, Leilong headed back to his office, the gun resting over his shoulder. Aimee and Ryoko looked surprised at his kindness.
"Wow, that's gotta be a first.." Ryoko muttered. Reiana just groaned and sat down holding her head. The two girls looked at her in concern. "Rei?"
"Where's Kagome?" Rei asked quietly.
"What?" the girls asked in unison. Kagome had left some time ago, didn't Rei remember?
"She's gone remember?" Aimee asked softly. Rei looked confused for a moment, before her eyes opened wide.
"Did she make it? Did she get to Inuyasha's?" she cried jumping to her feet. She raced to her vanity and began sifting through the mess.
"What? Who's Inuyasha? What are you talking about? Reiana!" Ryoko and Aimee protested as Rei pushed them out of her dressing room. Closing and locking the door, Rei looked at the numbers Kagome had left her. "Please let her be there! Please let her be there!" Rei chanted under her breath as she dialed Inuyasha's dorm number. Koga would kill Kagome. Rei knew that now. Not just maim her, not just hurt her, but actually kill her. Just as he would have done to her (Reiana) had Leilong not stepped in. The situation had gone from bad to worse in an impossibly short amount of time.
"Hello?" A male voice answered the phone.
"Inuyasha?" Rei asked, hoping she had the right number.
"No, this is Miroku..Hold on.." Some background noise ensued along with some complaining before finally another male answered the phone.
"Yeah?" the voice asked gruffly.
"Inuyasha? This is Reiana, I'm a friend of Kagome's.." On the other end of the line Inuyasha froze. He could hear the worry in the girl's voice. Something had happened.
"What's going on? Is Kagome alright?" he asked quickly, worried that the answer would be no. Reiana looked at the phone surprised. This guy was good.
"Maybe," she said softly.
-@--@-
"Any sign of her yet?" Inuyasha asked as he scanned the street. Behind him Miroku and Sango were doing the same.
"I haven't seen any sign of her," Sango replied.
"Me either," Miroku added. "Sorry.." Both Sango and Miroku dawned worried expressions. A friend of Inuyasha's girlfriend had called and warned them that Kagome's very angry manager was looking for the girl and it wouldn't be a pretty sight if he found her.
"Damn.." Inuyasha was clearly upset. "I'm going to look for her.." he said finally, running down the street.
"Wait! Let's take a car!" Sango called after him, but Inuyasha's demon speed had already carried him out of hearing distance. "Crazy head..That Koga person could be armed. Oh I hope Kagome's okay.."
"Come on. We can still take the car," Miroku said pulling Sango towards the garage.
-@--@-
[Kagome..Where the hell are you?] Inuyasha couldn't keep his thoughts from floating to the worst-case scenario. He would be too late to help her, that bastard would have already killed her.
#Flashback#
"His name is Koga and Kagome was on her way to tell you about him because he just found out about you." Reiana spoke very quickly as since Kagome wasn't there yet, there wasn't much time.
"Why wouldn't she have told me about this earlier?" Inuyasha demanded, hurt that Kagome would keep such an important secret from him.
"She was afraid to Inuyasha! That's what this guy has done to her, made her afraid of everything..except you. She didn't want you to take her relationship or lack there of with Koga the wrong way. She was afraid you would leave her if you found out her manager tried to control her love life." Inuyasha felt his heart twist.
"Why would I do that?" he asked irritably, a little ticked that this girl was making him sound shallow.
"Because you could have seen it the wrong way..Like Kagome was two timing you or something.." Reiana said exasperatedly. "But that' s not important. You have to find her as soon as you can. If Koga finds her first he'll kill her!" Inuyasha's heart stopped.
"What?!?!"
#End Flashback#
[Kagome..Please be okay..] Inuyasha pleaded silently. Picking up his pace a notch, he stopped dead when he caught a whiff of Kagome's scent. Inuyasha explored the area. From what his nose was picking up, Kagome had been moving one way and then abruptly changed directions. Confused, Inuyasha checked the area one more time, his nose catching a mixture of scents that made his blood run cold. Fear and wolf..That bastard had found Kagome!
-@--@-
*Present Time*
"We could have been so happy Kagome baby..If only you would have listened like a good girl." Koga stood over the unconscious and bleeding girl. "I thought you were smarter than that.." Slowly Koga pulled back, aiming for Kagome's neck. A swift kick would break it, ending her life. A hard fist knocked his kick off and sent him flying. Sputtering angrily Koga looked up at the man that had taken him down. A silver-haired demon was leaning over Kagome, his expression full of sadness and concern. Koga's face twisted in rage. So this was his 'replacement.'
[Oh gods Kagome!] Kagome, his Kagome, was lying broken and bleeding in a pool of her own blood. Kneeling by her, he instantly picked on her breathing. Relief spread through him. She was alive, to say the least.
"Get away from her! She's mine asshole!" Koga growled, pulling himself off the ground.
[Hang on Kagome! Please hang on! I'm so sorry I couldn't stop this sooner, but I'll make up for it now..just stay with me!] He told her silently, stroking the side of her cheek. He couldn't draw this out, Kagome needed to get to a hospital and fast. Standing slowly, he turned to Koga, his stone cold expression sending a shiver of fear down Koga's spine. Inuyasha wanted to deal out the pain. This wimpy wolf would get the all the pain Kagome had felt under his cruel torture tenfold. Inuyasha would be sure of that.
"So you must be my replacement," the wolf said darkly, taking his attention off of Kagome. The bitch was as good as dead anyway. "It's a shame really. She could do so much better than a dog turd hanyou.." he sneered. Koga was in the mood to fight and who better than the man his wench had been sneaking around with.
"What can I say? It didn't take much to be better than you," Inuyasha said icily, cracking his knuckles. Koga's eyes narrowed and his lip curled in a snarl, but he didn't say anything. Pulling out a long knife, he silently dared Inuyasha to attack him. What could Inuyasha do but oblige?
-@--@-
"Any clue as to where they might have gone?" Sango asked as she peered out the window of Miroku's car.
"Well I figure that they could be somewhere along the way to the Shikon No Tama, since that's where Reiana said Kagome was coming from. Man..I hope Inuyasha's found her.." Miroku said concernedly. Sango nodded, a worried look in her eyes too. Looking back out her window, Sango continued her search.
"Hey I think I saw someone!" Sango cried. "Stop! Go back!" Miroku already had the car in reverse. "It is! It's Inuyasha," Sango said excitedly. Her elation quickly came down when she noticed he wasn't alone and it wasn't Kagome with him. "He's fighting someone." Suddenly, as if her eyes were drawn by a magnet, Sango notice Kagome's crumpled form. "We're to late.." she whispered. Miroku looked upset, but locked his expression.
"Maybe not.." he told her, gunning the car.
-@--@-
Koga tried to peel himself off the concrete. His head hurt, his chest hurt, his stomach hurt and he had multiple lacerations. Never in his mind would he have thought a hanyou could do this to him.
"Just stay down, it'll be easier for you.." Inuyasha sneered giving the wolf demon a devastating kick to the side. Koga grunted and rolled with the kick. Coughing up blood, Koga groaned in pain and lay still.
"Inuyasha!" Miroku ran up behind his friend, grimacing at the site of the beaten Koga. "Damn man..nice work."
"Hey you guys! We need to get her to a doctor now!" Sango called. She had rushed straight to the girl's side and found that Kagome was having trouble breathing. "She's hurt really bad Inuyasha," Sango whispered. Rushing back to Kagome, Inuyasha snarled in anger. He should have been there! How could he have let Kagome get hurt like this?
"I don't think we should move her. Sango call nine-one-one," Miroku ordered softly looking down at the fallen girl. Inuyasha stood next to the kneeling Sango and the unconscious Kagome. He was frozen inside, too angry and too worried to care about anything other than the girl in front of him.
"The ambulance is on its way," Sango said, hanging up her phone. "Is there anything we can do for her?" Miroku shook his head sadly.
"No, we shouldn't try to move her. Who knows what kind of internal injuries she could have, not to mention broken bones." Inuyasha's heart stopped. Internal injuries?
[She could really die. I could really lose her right now.] The thought broadsided Inuyasha. Pushing Sango and Miroku away, Inuyasha knelt down by Kagome, taking her small hand in his. Her skin was deathly white, but Inuyasha never tore his eyes away from her face.
"Kagome, please, don't leave me," he whispered not caring if Sango and Miroku saw him being 'soft'. "I promise to keep you safe from now on..just please don't leave me.." Sango and Miroku watched helplessly. There was nothing they could do now except for wait. Koga, who hadn't really been knocked out to begin with, took advantaged of the tender moment and high tailed it out there before anyone noticed him. Slowly the sound of sirens could be heard and within a matter of minutes the ambulance pulled up. Sango and Miroku explained the situation to the Emergency Technicians.
"Excuse us sir.." an EMT asked, trying to pry Inuyasha away from Kagome. Feeling numb, Inuyasha moved obediently. He watched Kagome protectively as the EMT's rushed about their work. Getting her on a stretcher they placed her in the ambulance. The only problem that arose came when Inuyasha tried to ride with Kagome in the ambulance.
"Are you immediate family sir?" the same EMT addressed Inuyasha, stopping him as he tried to climb in the ambulance.
"No," Inuyasha said bluntly trying to push pass the man. The EMT held his ground.
"I'm sorry sir, only family can ride with the victim." Inuyasha looked murderous. Luckily Sango and Miroku both noticed.
"It's fine Inuyasha..we'll follow in my car," Miroku said, latching on to one of the hanyou's arms. Inuyasha looked ready to fight some more, but surprisingly backed down and agreed.
"Let's go.." he said grabbing Miroku's keys and walking to the car. Miroku looked ready to protest, but a look from Sango silenced him. With Inuyasha behind the wheel, the three drove to the hospital in complete silence.
-@--@-
A pair of steel blue eyes watched as both the ambulance and the car drove away. Luckily Inuyasha had forgotten all about Koga while he was caring for Kagome, and the wolf demon now stood watching in complete hatred as some half breed stole his woman.
"This isn't over yet Inuyasha. I can promise you that.."
