Chapter 5: CATFIGHT!! Sorry, couldn't resist XP
"What do you mean, there's somebody else!?" Kikyo shrieked at Inuyasha, who winced, resisting the urge to cover his sensitive ears.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"You're SORRY? YOU'RE SORRY!!?? I'll make you sorry!!" She slapped him across the face with all her strength, then stalked out of the room, coming face to face with Kagome on the way, who had been waiting in the hallway.
"It's you, isn't it?" She asked, her voice still high pitched, tearing through Inuyasha's ears in the next room. "You're the little bitch who showed up out of nowhere and stole him!"
Kagome winced. "Well I wouldn't say I STOLE him, exactly..."
Kikyo glared at her. "Really? Then what exactly do you call it when you swoop in and take someone's boyfriend!?"
Kagome winced again. "I didn't swoop..."
Kikyo, having had enough of this, wanted to hear no more from this bitch, who, the NERVE of that boy, even looked just like her! Inuyasha walked out into the hallway just in time to see Kagome being thrown against the wall with the force of Kikyo's slap. Wow, that girl really love slapping people, he thought with a sigh.
"Kikyo!" He said angrily, pushing her out of the way. "Kagome, are you ok?"
She looked up at him, blowing her long dark hair out of her face. The left side of her face was bright red from the force of the blow, but she ignored the pain and climbed to her feet, facing Kikyo, who was wearing a superior smirk in addition to her dark blue flannel pajama pants and pale blue tank top.
"I have had enough of people hitting me in my life," she spat at the other girl, that familiar fire springing to life in her eyes. "And I have had enough of you. This was Inuyasha's choice, not mine, and from the way you've been acting tonight, I'm frankly not suprised he chose the way he did. So if you want to lay blame anywhere, lay it on yourself!"
Kikyo sneered. "Blame me for THIS!" She lunged at Kagome again, grabbing her by her shiny black hair, pulling as hard as she could. Kagome yelped at the sudden pain, lashing out with her right foot and kicking Kikyo in the shin.
"Agh!" She grunted, letting go of her usual so-ladylike-it-hurts routine in favor of a more primal approach, punching Kagome in the stomach.
Kagome doubled over, the wind knocked out of her by the punch. Kikyo took the opportunity to elbow her unlikely opponent hard in the back, eliciting a gasp from Kagome, who then slumped over against the wall, her strength gone.
Kikyo smirked in triumph and closed in on the prone figure of Kagome, intent on finishing her off, when Inuyasha cut in front of her, grabbing her tightly around the waist and holding her back. "Kikyo," he hissed, his mouth next to her ear. "Don't."
She tensed at his touch and his breath on her ear, for a split second her mind flashing back to the way things were before SHE showed up. She sighed and relaxed her muscles, giving in to him. He slowly released her, waiting until he was sure she wouldn't suddenly attack Kagome again, then slipped past her in the narrow hallway towards Kagome.
"Come on," he said, taking her elbow and steering her down the hallway towards the kitchen, and then out through the front door. Once on his front porch, he stopped, sitting her down on the wooden swing and kneeling down in front of her to inspect her wounds. "I think you'll be okay...You might want to put some ice on that cheek of yours, though," he said, touching it gingerly.
She shrugged. "It's nowhere near what I've put up with for the past few years."
He winced. "What happened to your father? Do you think he'll come after you again?" The look in his eye suggested that if he did, he'd have to deal with him.
She smiled at his concern. She couldn't help thinking his protectiveness was adorable. "I don't have to worry about him anymore...I left him unconscious in his house and called the police before I headed home."
"Feh," he said, inspecting a cut on her knee that she had gotten when Kikyo had swung her against the wall. "Bastard got what he deserved."

Later that night Inuyasha lay in bed, once again with a dark-haired girl curled up in the safety of his embrace. This time, though, it wasn't Kikyo who sighed in contentment and snuggled into him before drifting off to sleep, but Kagome, her wounds from before disinfected and bandaged.
All seemed good in the world again, as it hadn't for so many years. Or so she thought, until she was yanked suddenly from Inuyasha's bed by her long, dark hair, a hand clamped tightly over her mouth before she could scream and alert the hanyou. "Stay quiet, my look-a-like," a voice hissed next to her ear, "and this will go much easier for you."
