Finding Love in War
Chapter 2
Inuyasha ran as fast as he could. He had been trying to get away from the pack of wolf demons for over an hour, and was getting exhausted. His long silver-white hair was tangled, and had sticks and leaves sticking out every which way. His face was scratched and he had a large gash in his left arm. He couldn't stop though. He knew that if he stopped, he would have to fight an unfair battle. The wolf-demons outnumbered him greatly. There were at least twenty of them.
'I can't stop! I have to keep going!'
Inuyasha ran for another half an hour, and the wolf-demons were finally catching up to him. Pretty soon he found himself surrounded. The half-demon slowly grabbed the hilt of Tetsusaiga. He sighed, knowing that he couldn't use it. For some reason he had never been able to use it. He knew that it had extreme powers, but did not know how to unlock them. Letting go of his sword he slowly got into a defensive stance.
A young wolf-demon with deep blue eyes and long dark hair in a high ponytail stepped to the front of Inuyasha with a huge grin across his face "So, we've finally got dog turd cornered!"
"Shut up Kouga, you stupid wolf!" Inuyasha growled deep in his throat. Him and Kouga had never been on very good terms. They had known each other since childhood, and had always been bitter enemies.
Inuyasha crouched low, getting prepared to attack, when Kouga suddenly sniffed the air. "Demon blood" he said simply. "Lots of it. Those stupid humans must be at it again! Let's go! We don't want to get caught up in this." And with that said he and the rest of his pack fled at top speed, leaving Inuyasha dazed by the sudden change in the wolf-leader's plans.
"Stupid coward of a wolf" Inuyasha muttered as he looked around for a place to sit and rest. He smelled the demon and a little bit of human blood too, but it was far enough away that he figured he was safe.
'Its probably just another fight. Someday those little fights are going to make an all out war.'
Inuyasha finally found a spot that looked suitable for him to rest at the bottom of a tree. He took a step forward and his foot hit something metal. In an instant, he had his foot caught in a painful demon trap. Blood started to run down his foot where the sharp edges of the trap bit into his skin. He tried to pry it apart, but it wouldn't budge.
The hanyou winced in pain as he continued to try to get the trap off of his leg. The gash in his arm that had been healing split open, and he was now getting blood all over the forest floor. 'There must be some kind of miko magic on here. I can't get the damn thing off!'
Inuyasha finally gave up on trying to get the trap off and sat down. He was so tired from the running he had been doing. Although he knew that it was dangerous to sleep out in the open, he knew that he had to get some sleep to get his energy back.
'Well, a little rest wouldn't hurt would it?' thought Inuyasha as he propped himself against a large tree. 'I'll be able to think more clearly when I've gotten a little sleep."

"GET UP!" yelled Kohaku, who had been trying to get Kagome up for the last five minutes.
"Mmmmmmmmmm," mumbled Kagome as she turned away from Kohaku with her eyes still shut.
"Kikyo says that she knows a shortcut to get out of here!" Kohaku yelled as he tried to lift Kagome off of the forest floor by her arms.
"I don't want Kikyo to get her hair cut short, its fine the way it is!" Kagome said sleepily and she tried to get out of Kohaku's grasp.
Kohaku let out a sigh, and let go of his grip on her arms, which made Kagome's head hit the ground. "Your hopeless"
"Owwwwwww" muttered Kagome as she opened her dark brown eyes. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining brightly and there was a slight breeze. It didn't look at all like there had just been a battle yesterday.
Kagome sat up slowly, her back letting out a particularly loud pop. She looked around. "Where are the others?"
"They're not far away, they just decided that while they were out here, and while you were still sleeping, they would take a dip in our wood's famous Hot Springs before we left." Kohaku replied, a small smile gracing his lips as he saw Kagome's eyes narrow in anger.
"Well they could have invited me!" Kagome said angrily, staring at her dirty clothes and body.
"They did! You wouldn't get up to go!" Kohaku said with amusement in his voice. "They'll be back soon though. We all want to go back and see how the battle went. Kikyo told us that she did not sense any dead souls of humans, so that's why we weren't in a big hurry to leave."
"Well, I could have told you that!" replied Kagome getting a notch angrier.
"Yes, yes you could have, BUT YOU WEREN'T AWAKE!" replied the boy. he knew that Kikyo and Kagome were always trying to outdo each other in their miko powers. Well, it was mostly Kagome who was always trying to outdo Kikyo because her powers weren't quite as advanced as Kikyo's yet, but her powers were still very good for someone her age.
Kagome stared coldly at him. "Shut up."
"Make me!" said Kohaku provokingly. His small smile turning into a large one.
"Fine, I will!" replied Kagome, a smile spreading over her face also.
Kagome sprung off of the ground and started chasing after Kohaku, who was an incredibly fast runner. She had kept up for quite a while, and had almost caught him once, both of them laughing wildly the whole time. But after a while, she had completely lost him.
'He probably went back to camp. I may as well make my way back there.' Kagome thought as she turned around, heading toward the direction of where the group had made camp.
She started walking back, but then suddenly she sensed a demon presence. She stilled, not quit knowing what to do. Curiosity soon got the best of her though, and as quietly as possible she went in the direction that she felt the presence coming from.
Kagome walked for a short while before she came to a small clearing. The first thing she saw was blood. A thin layer covered the ground. Then she saw a body leaning against a tree. It had long silver-white hair and a red outfit on. Its leg was caught in a trap. 'Poor thing. Nothing deserves to be hurt and trapped like that' Kagome thought. ' They think demons are the bad ones, but who are we to do this to them? Maybe I should let him go?'
She was sure that that body was the demon presence that she sensed. She quietly took a couple of steps forward. Upon closer inspection, the demon seemed to be asleep.
'It's a dog-demon! And a kind of cute one at that.' Kagome thought as she saw his claws and the little dog-ears on the top of his head. 'But aren't Inu-youkai supposed to have pointy elf ears and face markings?'
Kagome's eyes wondered back to the demon's ears. 'Wow! How cute!' she looked at the little fuzzy triangular ears on the top of his head longingly. 'A little rub wouldn't hurt anything would it?'
She extended her slender arm out and slowly started to rub the demon's ears. 'They're so soft'
Kagome was quickly ripped out of her thoughts when a clawed hand reached out and gripped her neck painfully.
She gasped as she looked down and saw large golden eyes glaring at her.
"Get your filthy human hands off of my ears, wench!"
~*~*~*~
AN- Sorry for the cliffy! I love those things! Hmmmm, it may seem like Kagome and Kikyo are not that friendly with each other right now, but its only a little sibling rivalry. They still like each other deep down inside! WOW! I'm pretty sure that that chapter was longer than the last. That took me a while! I'll keep trying to make my chapters longer. I like nice long chappies!
