Rating- PG-13, for safety.
Summary: Theres a new Eastern Lord in Japan! Wait, who?
Disclaimer- I do not own InuYasha, if I did, I'd live in Japan...
Naraku was re-building his body as he does every moon-less night.
"Kouga, I'll go ahead, you stay here." Kikia said, unsheathing her sword, and walking around the hideous demons.
"Be careful, Kikia. Naraku's a tricky-demon, even in human form." Kouga stated, and stayed back as Kikia commanded him to.
"Right..." She said looking around, when one of the demons caught her off-guard and wraping around her, taking her to Naraku. Kikia was tremling in fear. Kouga rushed from hiding and another demons caught him, also. The demon held them in front of Naraku, only letting their arms out.
"What part of 'Stay behind' didn't you understand idiot?!" Kikia yelled at Kouga, narrowing her eyes.
"You were about to be captured!!" He yelled right back.
The two argued for quite a while and Naraku was getting impatient.
"Kagura." Naraku called, and Kagura came into the cellar.
"Excuse me you two." Kagura said standing infront of them.
"WHAT?!" They both shouted, when Kagura knocked their head together.
"Ouch!" They shouted. They're attention was soon turned back to the body-less Naraku.
"You shall die tonight. Weather I am human or not. " Naraku stated, causing Kikia and Kouga to tremble in fear.
"You two shall no longer get in my way of having the Shikon no Tama." He said, as day-break arose. Kikia's head perked up as she had an idea to get free. 'If I dig my claws into his demon, it should hurt him, I hope..' She thought, just when she dug her shard claws in the demon causing Naraku's eyes to widen in pain. 'It's working!' She thought again, diging them deeper, when the demon released them.
"Give it up Naraku! I found your weaknesses! Don't try and deny it!" She shouted, as she unsheathed her sword.
"Kouga, get out of here fast." She said. "Fire-Demon-Wind-Dancers!" Kikia shouted, and became a firey-whirlwind, charging at Naraku. Naraku never moved, or showed signs of pain from the attack, but you could see it in his eyes. The whirlwind died down. Kikia stoped spining leaving a dust cloud at her feet.
"Had enough yet, Naraku?" She said, with a devil-ish glare. Just as she said that, a demon flew at her, and throwing her out.
Kouga saw where she landed, and rushed quickly to her side. She was alright, except for the unconscienceness. He picked her up and started walking, but not back to his cave, but to Kaede's Village. He remembered that Inu-Yasha appearently knew her, and the others must know her also.
He soon saw Sango and Miroku running up to Kouga.
"Kikia...Kouga! Don't take her back to the village, Inu-Yasha will surely kill her!" Sango exclaimed.
"Quite surely he would, I do not know why he has deep hatred for Lady Kikia though." "You'd be better off going to your tribes cave, we'll meet you there, with something from Kaede." Miroku said.
"I can't seem to understand why mutt-face could hate such a beautiful girl." Kouga said, looking down at the unconscience girl in his arms.
"Neither can we. Hurry and get to your tribes cave before Inu-Yasha comes." Sango said, worried about Kikia. Kouga noded and rushed off to his cave.
"Hey Kouga! Whats wrong with Kikia?!" Ginta and Hakkaku exclamed, rushing up to Kikia and Kouga.
"It's nothing major. She was battling...Naraku..." He said walking inside. Ginta and Hakkaku followed.
"And she survived? With no more than scratches??" They asked in amazement.
"Yeah, and if Inu-Yasha comes, don't let him in under any circumstances. If the Monk Miroku and the Demon-Extermenator Sango come, let them in." Kouga told them, laying Kikia down.
"Why not Inu-Yasha? I mean it's mutt-face, but what if he knows her?" Ginta asked.
"Mutt-face will kill her." Kouga said, painfully.
"KILL HER?!?!" They bothing shouted.
"Yeah, Sango and the monk are coming with something to help her." He said, siting down.
"Wait, wait, what exactly happened anyway? Why were you two at Naraku's castle?" Hakkaku asked.
"Well, Kikia told me a story of how he killed her friends in a never-ending battle 20 years ago, when she saw his demons rushing to their leader. When she saw that it was a new-moon last night, She destroyed them and raced off to the castle, where he was...'rebuilding' his body. We were captured by his demons, then Kikia some how attacked the demon holding her, and the pain when't to Naraku. I got out and waited for her, when she was blow out of the castle." He told them.
"She actually hurt him!?" They were shocked.
"Yeah." The wolf answered.
Kikia soon woke up.
"Whoa..." She said, shaking her head, trying to wake up. Kouga was still sitting next to her, and Ginta and Hakkaku were outside on guard.
"Glad your awake." Kouga said, smiling.
"Yeah...just a bump on the head..." She answered. She got up and walked outside. Ginta and Hakkaku raced up to her.
"Hey." She said, walking past them. They just stood there, watching her. Kouga walked behind them, and knocked their heads together.
"Wake up you two." Kouga said, playfully.
"Owwww.." They said.
Kikia walked through the forest, Kouga followed, but she didn't know. When someone landed in front of her.
"Jakotsu. What do you want?" She asked him, annoyed. "Your tricks don't work on me.".
"They did once." Jakotsu said with a smirk. Kikia just rolled her eyes.
'Hm, she'll be hard to get to fall for me, so then I can kill her.' He thought. Kouga just watched, he had never seen him before.
'Oooh, this outta work, no woman can resist it!' he thought, walking up to her. Kikia steped back. He continued walking until she backed up to a tree. He walked up to her, almost touching they were so close. She was shaking a bit. Jakotsu leaned forward, holding her. She actually kinda of liked it. Kouga just watched, angered. Then he pulled away just a bit, and kissed her passiontly. This was enough to make Kouga explode, but he stuck around to see what happens. While she was still under his 'spell', he quickly pulled away, and held her against the tree. Holding his sword up to her neck, about to kill. Kouga gasped and charged at Jakotsu. Jakotsu quickly slit her neck, but not enough to kill her, but it was possible. She fell to the ground blood freely flowing from her neck. after Jakotsu left, Kouga rushed up to Kikia and picked her up rushing her back to his cave, hoping Sango and Miroku were there.
Miroku and Sango waited for her return. They both gasped when they saw Kouga bringing back Kikia covered in blood. She was barely breathing, and Kouga let one lone tear roll down his cheek. He sat her down, blood still running out of the wound on her neck. Sango and Miroku were soon joined by Ginta and Hakkaku.
"W-Wha-What happened to her..?" Sango managed to choke out.
"Some one called Jakotsu acted like he loved her or something, even kissed her, but attacked her in the end..." Kouga said, looking at the wound.
"Jakotsu...that sounds like..." Miroku's eyes widened as he remembered who it was.
"Who is it!?" Sango asked.
"Jakotsu, he flirts with someone...before he kills them..." Miroku told them.
"You mean, he acts like he loves someone, just to get close enough for the kill?" Hakkaku asked.
"Precisely." Miroku answered. Kikia's wound still hadn't stopped bleeding, and Kouga began to worry. Kikia started to tremble,and her breathing became harder. Tears rolled down Sango's cheeks, and Miroku was comforting her, sorrow easily read on his own face. Kikia's eyes fluttered open, and everyone gasped.
"Whoa...what happened, Kouga?"She said, quietly, then the pain came back on her neck, and she closed her eyes in pain. "Nothing, Kikia, you need to rest." He said, taking her inside his cave. Her eyes closed, when she fell asleep.
Sango and Miroku when't to Jineji's village to find something to help Kikia. Ginta and Hakkaku were back on guard, and Kouga was siting next to Kikia.

AC:
For those of you who don't know who Jakotsu is, he flirts with someone, then kills them! Kinda weird...
