Chapter 3.

Win, Lose, or Draw? Lovers?

...................................................

Inu-Yasha screeched to a halt as Sesshoumaru landed directly in front of him drawing Toukijin from its sheath. He charged at him, slicing open Kagome's bare arm, earning an ear splitting cry from the young miko, which only enraged the hanyou further. "Sesshoumaru…" He said in a deep darkened voice. "You can do whatever you want to me..' he turned gently setting Kagome into Kouga's arms as Kouga tried desperately to stop the profuse bleeding 'But the minute you lay a hand on her…YOU'VE TOLD ME YOU'RE WILLING TO DIE!" He screamed, charging forward and unleashing Tetsusaiga.

----------------------

Kagome slowly opened her eyes, wincing in pain as she felt a piece of cloth wrap tightly around her arm.

"D-DAMN IT THAT FUCKING HURTS!" she cursed loudly. Normally she would try to keep the curse words at a all time low…but at the moment...She shook her head and looked around, only to make eye contact with Kouga. "Kouga…what am I…doing here?" 'and where the hell did you come from?' she added mentally.

"Inu-Yasha brought you...' was all he had to say, the memories all came flooding back in a sea of nausea and unsurfaced anger. Everything that had happened in the last few hours all came flooding back at once; it was too much for her. She soon bent over and threw up continuously before wiping her mouth and standing to look around. 'Inu...Yasha" She managed to utter as she watched him clash in battle with his older brother.

Inu-Yasha charged forward as the swords shot out sparks from sheer force of the impact of the two metal objects.(his and sesshoumaru's duhhh) His usual calming golden eyes were blood red now, his fangs had lengthened as well as his claws...what was going on here? 'For him to look like this he would have to be a...inu...youkai' Kagome tried vaguely to put together the missing pieces in her mind as she stared wide eyed at the two words. Inu Youkai.

"INU-YASHA!" She screamed lunging forward not even caring about the raging battle that was taking place right before her eyes. "INU-YASHAAA!!" She yelled once more as she laid her head against his chest listening to his racing heart. "Please don't do this...look I'm fine!" she uttered softly, motioning to her body. "Just…come back to me! Please, Inu-Yasha, PLEASE!"

His eyes went wide from not only her words but also his older brother's sword missing him and piercing into Kagome's now bare shoulder. "K-KAGOME!" He shouted looking down at her. The blade had gone though her and into him, she shrieked in shrill pain. As Sesshoumaru slowly yanked the sword from its new bloody sheath, he felt her body tremble as she slid down to the ground. His eyes had now diminished to a dim glowing golden color, full of...tears? ...Tears...he was crying! 'why would he cry? is he crying for me?' she thought as a tiny water drop hit her bloodied body. "I-Inu...Y-yasha.." she said softly lifting her hand to his cheek and caressing it gently. "S-sorry I got...' she grit her teeth as he bent down and licked at her wound 'what is he doing?!' "Go-got in your way...again.." She softly spoke, each word almost clashing together like a jumbled up puzzle in need of solving.

She stared down at her arm letting him tend to her wound as her eyes locked with Sesshoumaru's and she continued to stare with pleading eyes.

"Go.." was all she said as she stared at the older youkai brother, her words, though meaningless to such a person as Sesshoumaru, were heart felt. He turned and began to walk away.

-----------------

Inu-Yasha sighed mentally as he heard the grass rustle, signaling his brother's retreat. He could hear Kouga screaming above them but he didn't care. He couldn't, all he could think of was the beautiful young girl in his arms. Her body was covered in blood, her eyes half shut, her normal sparkling beautiful brown eyes were diminished to nothing but a dim greenish brown color. Looking at her made him feel sick inside, the way she grit her teeth as he tended to her wound and how her eyes followed his movement as he bent down and tore a piece of his kimono off and wrapped it around her shoulder.

The red coloring of the material quickly darkened as the blood soaked though and began to leak down her arm, staining her 'school uniform' as she called it....

'Gods Kagome...don't do this…don't go!' He thought to himself as he stared at her, wincing in pain and clenching her eyes shut. "KAGOMEEEEEEEE!" He managed to spit out as he held her body up to his chest protectively.

His ears perked up as he felt her lean her weight against his chest and place a hand on it. "I'm fine…Inu-Yasha...." she said softly as she stared up at him. He knew better...He did...The way she looked at him, the look of pain behind her eyes, he knew it all too well. She hurt terribly. He frowned and stared at her intensely as if she would disappear if he looked away for even a moment. "Kagome..."

---------

She blushed as he looked at her 'Why…is he looking at me like that...he only looks like that when he's thinking about....' "Kikyou..." She uttered softly under her breath.

--------

Everything around him fell from heaven to earth in one swift blow as he heard the last few words uttered from Kagome's mouth.

'K-kikyou......why is she...where...is...Kikyou...wait…now I don't love her…I love.....' "Kagome.." He said softly, staring at her.

=======================

Cliffy again! I figure maybe if I keep putting cliffies, you'll keep reading? -pleading look in her eyes- Pretty pleaseeeeeeeee?! -coughs and such- I wasn't pleading I swear it

-sweatdrops- Anyway, Thanks for all the reviews and THIS time I'm gonna take the time and thank each one of you PERSONALLY as well as answer a few questions.

Kagome015: Ok I updated the next day -giggles- fast enough for you? I hopes so! Thanks so much for the review, it means a lot to me!

Punny (Cubnimeyahoo.ca): Ok once again, hope that a day was fast enough for you -bows- sorry about the spelling errors -sighs- I'm dyslexic and can't spell worth BEANS -giggles softly- I'm having a friend of mine pre-read my stories from now on so hopefully that will stop.

Evil-hans: I take it your not a big fluffy fan huh? Well I didn't really know how to go about portraying his character, but I figured evil is as evil does, and aside from his fatherly love for Rin, does he really love anything else or even care? -smiles- Thanks for the review!

Sílvia ) Gracias mucho! espaol es una lengua de la diversin que conjeturo que im no a encariado con l mismo maldice ocasionalmente pruebas no es nada pero apuro.-Sacudare su puo y re nerviosamente- Gracias otra vez por repasar!!! ::Whoa I really hope I translated that right..-sweatdrops- my two actual languages im even good at are english and Japanese..not really spanish..but hope thats right -::

Nekokatagi: -giggles- I hurried I hurried!! I'm so glad you liked it! I spent a lot of time TRYING to make this story IC! I really hope I can keep it that way, although the only times I find to write are in the early morning, so I'm not sure that I'll always be able to keep it that way. I hope you keep reviewing and reading! Thank you again 0

Mademoiselle Morte: Yay! You liked it you liked it - -bounces around- Like I said before, I'm trying to keep things IC and I figure Sesshoumaru's pretty evil, almost as evil as evil gets, but that would be Naraku XP Hope you liked this chapter as much as the last ones.

Hieiz shinobe baby: oo;;; That was amusing, I didn't quite know what you were talking about half the time but thank you for the review and the compliment! Muchly appreciated -!

inuyashatotsllyobsessed: Actually your right, it wouldn't be. But that's the only place that was close, so it makes sense Inu-Yasha would take her there. -giggles- Thank you for the review, you're nice oo;! That's good to know that my spelling isn't THAT horrible. But I'm sure it is. As for the PRON thing its a different spelling of porn. Just something me and my friends say a lot. Dunno why -giggles- Thanks again, I really hope you keep reading. -

animejacksparrowlover: Once again I hope this was fast enough. - I'm glad you like the story and I'll try my best to keep writing it well enough for you to enjoy.

=======

Thanks again for all the reviews; I'm greatly honored that all of you liked my story this much! If this keeps up (the reviewing I mean), I'll update about every 1-4 days. I hope you all will continue to enjoy my story. -!
