Raised "Wild"
By: Ru-KaiYasha
RKY: Yatta!!! Thanks so much everyone!!! Ok, I was being nice last chapter cuz I updated Chapter 2 for three reviewers, and I asked for five, but it's fine. I checked my stats and WOW!!! o_O!!! I'm on TWELVE favorite authors lists!!! *signs of shock*
Sess: I, Sesshoumaru, do not see how it is so shocking. There are authors out there that are better than you, obviously.
RKY: Hmph!! Just for that insult, MY LORD, you won't get to see your "lover" for a while.
Sess: WHAT?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! *anime tears* I take back what I said!!! Just give me Ryoan!!!
RKY: o_O! Good grief... RY!!!
Ryoan: *sticks head through computer room door* Yeah?
RKY: Give Sess a hug; he misses you.
Ryoan: *raises eyebrow* O...k...
RKY: 'Neways!!! Chapter 3 is here!!! Review replies at end of chapter. Oh ya:
{Last Time}
Miroku was eyeing Kagome with that look that made InuYasha glare at him. He growled. "Miroku, you lecher, just THINK about touching her and you'll wish Sango had been the one to kill you."
Miroku raised his hands up and defended himself. "I was thinking of no such thing. How could you accuse me of such horrible deeds?" InuYasha, Sango, and Kouga all sweatdropped and rolled their eyes. "Lech..." they all murmured.
Just as Kagome was getting used to these people, there was a crash. Dust flew up, and a voice said, "InuYasha!! I have come for my revenge!!!"

Scroll 3: Meet the Bad Guys
Kagome blinked. Being with those wolves for 11 years improved her sight, smell, and hearing quite a bit so as she took in the scent, she wrinkled her nose, and tried to cover it from the scent. It was horrible; it smelled of rotting flesh combined with sewage plus extra-dirty-never-cleaned socks. Terrible, right?
(RKY: *throws up* I think I just made myself sick writing all that down...)
InuYasha and Kouga had scrunched up their faces from the smell, and InuYasha pushed Kagome back behind him. The Starblade had chosen him as the protector of Kagome, and he was going to do his duty.
Once the smoke seemed to settle (RKY: Did I mention that when the person broke in smoke erupted? *scans last chapter* Nope. Well, I mentioned it now. Lol. Sorry about that.), a man stepped forward.
"What the...?! Who the hell are you?!" Kouga growled. "That is something unnecessary for you to know, silly wolf pup, and I've come to seek my revenge on InuYasha!" The man replied. He had long wavy hair, blood-red eyes, and wore all black. (RKY: Sound familiar?)
InuYasha snarled, "Bastard!!! I though I beat the hell outta you and now you're back!! Are you begging for some more beatings? Cause I'll be glad to give 'em!!!"
Kagome howled quietly and Akito and Reinu both emerged, surprising all the occupants in the room with the exception of InuYasha.
As Akito ran toward Kagome, she grabbed his fur and jumped on his back as he slowly slid to a stop behind InuYasha with Reinu at his side, both bristling slightly, ready for the battle they sensed was coming.
Kagome stared at the man. He looked angry; angry enough to where he was beginning to get dangerous. Kagome's hand flew to the Starblade. InuYasha had his own sword, Tetsusaiga, (RKY: What? Did you think I'd deprive him of his favorite and only blade?) as he now pulled it out of its sheath.
The man snickered and a smirk appeared. "What's this? Now you call on a GIRL who has been raised by wolves all her life? How pathetic, InuYasha. I didn't think you would need two humans, a moronic wolf youkai, two half- wolves and a raised-by-wolves-girl for help to defeat me this time."
InuYasha's eyes narrowed. "Naraku, you bastard nimrod!!! D'you think I need help from these guys?! I beat you last time without even breaking a sweat, and the last time, you said you'd leave for good!! Looks like I'M gonna need to teach you a lesson in manners of keeping your word!"
Jumping high into the air, InuYasha brought his Tetsusaiga down, crying, "Kaze no Kizu!!! (Scar of the Wind/Wind Scar!!!)" A bright yellowish light appeared and scraped the ground with amazing speed, "flying" towards Naraku, intent on its kill.
Naraku barely dodged with his body parts attached, for he lost his left arm. Kagome growled. This man was beginning to be a nuisance to her nose, as well as her canine friends. Barking a battle cry of the half-wolves, she jumped from Akito's back, drawing Starblade from its sheath.
"Grargh!!!" came a half growl, half snarl as she descended upon Naraku. He did not notice her for he was glaring at InuYasha and muttering under his breath. Kagome swung sideways with "shing"-ing sound and Naraku jumped. He had been startled.
Not by the pain, but by how he had been jumped and the girl had been in front of him the entire time. (RKY: Shows how stupid HE can be. Stupid Naraku!!! *sticks out tongue at him; he glares at her with deadly eyes; she cringes* AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! *runs away* On 2nd thought, he isn't so stupid after all!! Save me, someone!!!)
"Bitch!!! How dare you ruing my perfectly beautiful body!!!" You see, when Kagome had slashed at him, the Starblade began to glow. It glowed white- bright, and was blinding to anyone not holding it.
The other occupants excluding Naraku had to avert their eyes from the blinding light, but when it faded they turned their attention quickly to see what had happened. Naraku's head stayed floating for a minute (RKY: "MY- NEWT", NOT "MEN-IT") second, and fell to the ground.
However, he was still alive. He laughed aloud. "Kukuku!!! I am not yet killed!!! You must kill my entire being before you win!!! Ahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Closing his eyes, Naraku's body seemed to regenerate, as his arms, both of them, legs, torso, etc. came back and formed from his neck and head.
(RKY: *throws up again* Ugh... Writing stuff like this is gonna get me sick one o' these days...) Naraku ran toward Kagome, surprising her with his abrupt regeneration, and his claw hit her hip. She screamed. InuYasha shook off his shock and ran with such speed as he never had before as he shouted, "Kagome!!"
Akito and Reinu jumped at Naraku. Kouga used his own speed to hit Naraku's side. InuYasha swung Tetsusaiga in an arc at Naraku. Naraku pulled his claw away from Kagome's side. Kagome fell to her knees, clutching the deadly overly bleeding hip.
Naraku felt what seemed like a hundred attacks hit his body. Miroku had charged in with Sango as they both swung their weapons. "Hiraikotsu!!!" "Buddha's Holy Staff!!!" (RKY: Gimme a break, I can't very well say "Kanzaana" now, can I? Miro-chan doesn't have it yet.)
Naraku regenerated his body as he turned toward Miroku and hit his right hand with an incantation scroll. It left a hole in its place. "Argh!!!" Miroku hissed at the pain. Suddenly, things began to suck in toward his hand.
"What the...?!" Naraku sped away and jumped out of one of the many windows in the great hall. Sango saw with horror Miroku's fate. The hole was small, about the size of a bouncy ball, but it was slowly getting bigger. Miroku clutched a rosary as he muttered an incantation of sealing.
When he finished he whipped it around his right hand that wore his glove, and the burst of wind stopped. He collapsed into an unconscious state. "Miroku!!!" Sango cried, and dropped her big boomerang bone as she ran to his side.
Kagome, too, collapsed, as from her side a small purplish-pink orb had fallen and lay amongst her blood. "Kagome!" said four voices all at once. InuYasha was at her side in less than a second. (RKY: Ooh, I'm seeing the love here.)
"Kagome?! KAGOME!!!" InuYasha called. Picking her up bridal style, he turned to Kouga. "Hey, wolf-turd, put that orb in Kagome's lap, will ya?" Kouga picked up the orb. But as he picked it up, he felt a surge of power.
Blinking, he placed it in Kagome's lap and InuYasha whistled to Akito and Reinu who had both stood to the side silently after calling the name of their friend. Following InuYasha, Akito and Reinu barked a good-bye to the others.
*The Next Afternoon...*
{Begin Dream}
Kagome found herself in a meadow; it was lush and green, full of blooming, bursting colorful flowers of all kinds and colors. The sky was peaceful, it was sunny and warm, but as Kagome was just getting comfortable, it turned dark.
Dark, as in cold, freezing to the core. Dark, as in scaringly, frightening, terrifying evil. Kagome blinked as she looked for a way out from the dark, dank place that had interrupted her calm, beautiful meadow.
Upon seeing a light, she heard three voices. She recognized all of them, but only one of them she could identify. It was InuYasha's voice. She, however, stayed to listen to the other two voices, which constantly called to her.
"Kagome!"
"Kagome!"
"Kagome!"
All three voices called her name, and yet the other two, the ones which did not sound like InuYasha's voice, continued to call her by name, as if they knew her. She did not know them. They were a manly and womanly voice, a fatherly and motherly voice.
As the voices seemed to begin to fade, Kagome was about ready to ask them what was going on. Yet, they were now gone. So, Kagome, deciding she couldn't stay possibly any longer, ran toward InuYasha's voice, whose sound got louder, and louder...
{End Dream}
"Kagome!!!" InuYasha called again. Kaede had told him to call her name over and over, so that if she heard amongst her dream of dying deadness, she might follow his voice back to the life at present, and know that her purpose in life was not yet over.
Upon seeing Kagome's eyes begin to flutter open, he almost jumped in joy and relief. Instead of embarrassing himself, however, he watched her eyes slowly focus as she stared straight into his own eyes.
"Kagome! I thought – I mean, we thought – that I – I mean, we – were gonna lose you!!!" InuYasha said hurriedly. When he'd first locked eyes with her, he had felt this weird feeling inside his chest. His heart would twist into what seemed like impossible knots every time he saw her eyes.
As Kouga walked by, he heard sounds from Kagome's room. He smirked. 'Sounds like the sleeping beauty's awake.' Then his eyes narrowed. 'He better not be playing around with MY woman...'
(RKY: Sorry!!! I just can't leave the competitive people away!! But Kouga DOES get a lover; but it ain't Kagome!! Nope! After all, this is an Inu/Kag ficcie, not Koga/Kag. Besides, I don't like Koga all that much, anyway. He's just an annoying nitwit.)
Kouga sped to the room to see Kagome among her half-wolf pets and InuYasha gone. His look turned from anger to puzzlement. He had sworn he had heard InuYasha in this room just a few seconds ago...
*
As Kagome talked/barked/howled with her half-wolf friends, InuYasha stayed in his room, thinking. (RKY: FYI, Yasha's room is connected to Kagome's room.) 'What was that feeling I had when I saw her wake up?'
He shook his head. 'Probably just worried cause that sword o' hers kills swiftly. Naraku's an exception cause he somehow has these weird powers to return his body. Grrrr...' He growled quietly. 'Stupid idiot... Does he really think he can beat me? Moron!!' InuYasha thought.
His ears twitched and he raised his head. 'What was that?' He'd thought that he'd heard a scream. Quickly running to the door that connected to Kagome's room, he opened it.
*
In Kagome's room, Akito and Reinu had busily sniffed her out to check for any more signs of wounds. Kagome laughed and told them she was just fine; she HAD been with InuYasha after all. Reinu just grinned and Akito laughed.
Kagome seemed to sense something for when she look up, she saw Kouga. She screamed in surprise. That's when InuYasha rushed into her room. "Kagome?!" he panted.
*
Kouga was looking at how playful she was being with her half-wolf friends, when she looked up and locked eyes with him. He winced as she screamed and as InuYasha ran into the room from out of nowhere.
*
Kagome jumped up and ran toward InuYasha and hid behind him, speaking hurriedly in the only language she knew. InuYasha smirked at Kouga while trying to comfort Kagome. For some reason, when Kagome had run to him, his heart had pounded hard and fast.
"So, wolf-turd, what're you doing here?" InuYasha asked. Kouga growled. "I just wanted to make sure Kagome was ok!! She DID lose quite a bit o' blood, you know." InuYasha rolled his eyes.
He snarled, "Leave, Kouga. Before I kick you outta the house." Kouga smirked and said, "Yeah, but you'd better not be doing 'nething to my woman!!" InuYasha growled at that. "YOUR woman?! Since when –" Kouga interrupted him. "Later, inukoro." He left.
Kagome peeked out from behind InuYasha as he turned to face her. Kagome's arms found their way around InuYasha's waist as she cried her eyes out, causing InuYasha to blush as he unconsciously wrapped his own arms around her. "Shh... it's ok, Kagome, it's ok..." He murmured.
"ARGH!!!!" His ears twitched. That was Miroku. "MIROKU!!!" That was Sango, and she didn't sound angry over his perverted wandering hand this time. She sounded worried.

A/N time!!!
RKY: Mwahahahahaha!!! Another cliffie!!! Ahahahaha!!! I'm so cruel.

Miroku stood shakily as Sango supported him. "Miroku!! Are you all right!?" She asked in a panicked voice. Miroku mutter something incoherent, and Sango leaned her ear toward him. "We... We've got to get that jewel that fell out of Kagome's side!!" Sango blinked. "WHAT?!"
RKY: Heeheehee. That's all!!! R & R!!! And I want 5 reviews for this chapter!! ...Plz? (I was nice last chappie too cause I updated sooner than I wanted.)
