Inuyasha's Sorrow

"Hey, Kouga! Wait up!" yelled two very exhausted wolf youkai.

Kouga impatiently skidded to a halt, looking very annoyed at his two friends. "What now?! I just caught the scent of Kagome, and that yaru of a dog hanyou, and I want to see is inukkoro has been protecting my woman!!" Ginta and Hakkaku cowered in front of their leader, they didn't like to irritate Kouga, he can get pretty angry sometimes. Kouga turned around and sped off in the direction of Kagome and the rest of the group.

"Come on Ginta, let's go follow him..." Hakkaku said, and the wolf youkai started running in the direction of Kouga's trademark twister.

It was a beautiful day, Inuyasha and Kagome hadn't gotten into a single argument and Miroku's hand hadn't gone off wandering towards Sango's ass.

"So Inuyasha, what're we going to do one the jewel is complete?" Kagome wondered, "I mean, we only have Naraku's and Kouga's shards to go, then our adventure is all over."

Miroku nodded, "She's right, the jewel is almost complete and then we're back to our own lives once more!" Miroku said with wonder and sadness in his voice.

Inuyasha stayed silent. 'They're right, this adventure's almost over... but, I don't want to split up with the group. We've known each other for so long, and Kagome, how'll I ever be able to let her leave, forever? Will the well let her come back here if she goes through it again...?' He snapped out of his stupor and sniffed the air. He caught the scent of wolf youkai...

"Ugh!" Inuyasha grunted, now with his head in the dirt and a footprint on his head.

"Kouga-kun!" Kagome said, surprised to see her old friend again, "What're you doing here?!

Kouga smiled a charming smile, and grasped Kagome's hands in his own. "I've come to see you, my dear Kagome!"

Inuyasha quickly got off the ground in time to see Kouga with Kagome's hands in his own. "Oi! Wimpy wolf! Get your flea-bitten hands off her!" He snarled, jumping towards Kouga and standing in front of Kagome protectively.

Kouga smirked, "Shut-up mutt-face! She's my woman!" He said, proudly stating that Kagome was his woman.

Inuyasha just about had it. He grasped the hilt of tetsusaiga, thinking how he was going to kill Kouga and whether it should be slow and painful, or quick and easy. He decided on slow and painful.

"Osuwari!!"

Inuyasha plummeted to the ground before he could even move; let along swing the tetsusaiga at Kouga. There were a few muffled words before he could speak, "What'd you do that for, wench?!"

Kagome turned around and ignored him, "Kouga, would you like to say with us to search for the remaining shards?"

Kouga immediately nodded and followed Kagome to set up camp with the other members of the shard-hunting group.

Inuyasha, of course, was not at all pleased with the appearance of Kouga and the fact that Kagome actually let him in the group! 'Fuck, what the hell was Kagome thinking?! Letting that mangy wolf join..." He mumbled, avoiding everyone, especially Kagome.

"Keh! Idiotic wench! She doesn't know what she's getting herself into!" Inuyasha mumbled, walking further into the forest before jumping in a tree and sulking.

After an hour of sitting up in a tree... "Well, better go back to camp, she needs someone to protect her from that damn wolf..."
