Disclaimer: Yeah yeah, own nothing...make the same...::sigh::
A/n: Me again of course. Well, I had written this earlier this afternoon, but got on and saw four more reviews from the previous six and had to re-write it. I don't know why, I just wasn't satisfied with the previous attempt and be glad that I was. Thank you all who've reviewed, it's my inspiration...well, that and some music, but ya'll are pretty much like 85% of my inspiration...so yeah, :P
Undiscovered Chapter Nine: The Girl Is Mine
-::-::-::-
Inuyasha stared out, beyond the tree from which he perched. His eyes darted back and forth from the shadows amongst the nearby forest. Something, actually, someone was out there, watching him as he watched them.
It was hard to catch their scent with the rain pounding around him, so he could only wait until they decided to make a stupid mistake and let their identity slip or go away. All he could do was glare at the figure amongst the shadows, wondering who it could be.
Below him, the others were sound asleep. It wasn't late or anything, nearly nine, but they had walked a long ways without Kagome. Inuyasha didn't feel like sitting around a fire all day while Kagome was off on a mini vacation.
Besides, Miroku's little comments were getting annoying and instead of beating him to a bloody pulp, Inuyasha had suggested they get a head start on their walk and get the jewel shard before Kagome returned.
All day long, Shippo had complained and begged Sango and Miroku to carry him. Without Kagome to spoil him, he was becoming a real pain in the butt.
"Who is that?" muttered Inuyasha, his distracting thoughts suddenly interrupted as the figure across the field continued to stalk them. 'It can't be Naraku, he'd have made his move by now...no, this is someone that knows me on a different level than Naraku.'
"Inuyasha?"
He looked down with an angry glare. It was Sango's soft voice that had called him. "What?" he snapped.
She looked across the field to the exact spot the mystery person sat. "Who is that? They've been there all day."
Inuyasha nodded, looking back to the woods before glancing to Sango. "I'm not sure. I'm waiting for them though."
Sango sighed, rising up to sit. "I can't sleep, knowing that some stranger's watching me."
Inuyasha shrugged indifferently. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them."
Sango grinned, crawling back under her covers. "Thanks."
Inuyasha pretended not to hear and continued to study his target.
-::-::-::-
"I've found someone."
Kagome's mother smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling in excitement for her daughter. "Oh that's wonderful, dear! When?" Kagome gave her a half smile, looking up to see her grandfather enter. "Hello Kagome, back for a bit?"
Kagome nodded. "Yes Grandpa, just for a bit."
He gave her a small peck upon her head and called to Sota for him to put away the groceries. The young boy obidiently came down stairs and spoke with his grandfather while Kagome looked to her mother for help.
"Could you two give us some privacy?" asked her mother with a stern, but polite tone. The two males nodded and headed outside to enjoy the nice evening.
The mother/daughter duo sat there a moment as Kagome decided whether to tell her mother the truth or not.
'You have to, if she doesn't know all the facts then she can't help you.'
She looked up and smiled. "I know this sounds crazy, but I met him while I was away, you know, looking for the Shikon Jewel shards?"
Her mother nodded, the hazy glaze not crossing her eyes for once. Kagome was very grateful.
"And he's...well he's not prince charming in any way, but he is a nice guy."
Her mother smiled. "Well you like him right?"
Kagome nodded, almost laughing at her mother's understatement. "Yes, I...I love him, Mom," she then added quickly, "You believe me right?" Kagome sat there nervous, but ready for her mother to lecture her about being too young to love.
Her mother frowned. "Of course I do. If you say you love him, then it must be true right?...Does he love you?"
Kagome nodded, the smile breaking forth and causing her to blush. "Yes."
Her mother smiled, affectionately pinching her daughter's cheek. "Oh you do love him." She let out a small sigh, her eyes becoming glossy with flooding memories. "I looked the same when I realized I loved your father...I felt so happy and blushed at the mere mention of his name. You look the same now."
Kagome giggled girlishly, knowing why so many girls giggled brightly when talking of their boyfriends. 'This is deeper than some high school fling, though.'
"Well, what's his name?" asked her mother, a higher pitch, one similiar to a sixteen year old girl's voice, emitting from her lips.
Kagome grinned. "Inuyasha."
Her mother's smile faultered a bit.
"Inuyasha?!" burst forth Sota, coming in from the back. "That guy that saved me awhile ago?!" he asked bewildered.
"Sota!" yelled Kagome and her mother in unison.
He frowned. "Don't yell at me! Grandpa told me to listen!"
Kagome's mother got up and walked around the corner to find the old man behind Sota, staring innocently at her. "Wh-what? Where am I?"
After a few moments of loud banter from the three, Kagome's mother resumed her soft smile and sat back down.
"So it's that boy, Inuyasha?"
Kagome nodded slowly, her blush falling across her face again. "Yes."
Her mother let out a small sigh, studying her hands a moment then turning back to Kagome. "He's not human, is he?"
Kagome shook her head. "No...he's half, uh-"
"Demon," finished Sota, peeking in once again.
"Sota! Out!"
He let out a sad sigh and went back outside to help his grandfather.
"Demon?" asked her mother, turning back to Kagome.
She could only nod.
Her mother sat there a moment, wondering what on earth to do. Her daughter was in love with a boy from the past who was half human, half demon...what was a mother to do? Or say even?
"But he's not mean...well, he's got a temper but deep down inside, he's such a sweetie. He only let's it show when he's around me...he's got a sensitive side, you could say, that he rarely shows...but when he does, you have to listen real close or he'll stop. He's not dangerous at all, if anything, he's the safest guy I could ever imagine being with."
Kagome was relieved to see her mother smile once again. There was a bit of fakeness to the smile, but most of it was sincere, or at least Kagome hoped.
"If he's really as nice as you say, and you really do love him, I can't stand in your way."
Kagome grinned. She was glad her mother approved, but she hadn't come here for her approval. She'd come here for help.
"I'm glad you say that, because I really do love him. So much," confessed Kagome, glad that her mother was the first to hear such words.
Her mother seemed be as equally happy.
"Can I ask you something, Mom? About you and Dad?"
Her mother nodded.
"When did you know...that you were ready to...ya know."
Her mother sighed, folding her arms. "Well, I guess it was when we were sure that we were in love. I wasn't ready at first, but your father waited three years. I'm glad I waited, if I hadn't, then I may have lost your father or hurt myself emotionally."
Kagome groaned mentally. She should have spoken with her mother ages ago about Inuyasha.
"Why do you ask?"
Kagome shrugged. 'I can't tell her yet...she's just know heard about Inuyasha and me...all this in one day may be too much.'
"I was just curious."
Her mother eyed her suspiciously. "You and Inuyasha haven't yet...have you?"
Kagome cringed underneath such a powerful, yet gentle gaze. This was her oppritunity to tell her, to let her know all her insecurities and fears. That she wasn't sure if she'd done the right thing or not.
Instead she lied.
"No, of course not! I was just wondering, that if it ever came up, when would be the right time."
Her mother's suspicious stare did not fall, but she did smile. "You'll know when it's the right time."
Kagome nodded, her thoughts drifting off to Inuyasha once again. She missed him, even if she had left to have some time alone, she already missed him and felt that she desperately needed to talk to him about this. She needed to be honest with him for once.
"So," her mother grinned, rising up, "when do I get to meet him?"
Kagome's eyes bulged. "Meet him?"
Her mother nodded quickly, pulling out a pot for supper. "Yes honey. Sota's met him already and if you love him, I want to meet him. He sounds like a wonderful boy."
Kagome laughed nervously, glancing outside to find Sota and her grandfather leaning against the open window.
"You can come in now," muttered her mother without even glancing to the window.
Kagome giggled as the two came inside, red faced with guilt and large puppy dog eyes. "Go set the table for dinner, Sota. We need to talk about you eavesdropping after dinner." She turned to Grandpa and glared. "And you are worse than he is..."
Kagome tip-toed up to her room, escaping the sharp punishments from her mother and the whining protests from Sota and Grandpa.
-::-::-::-
'Whoever that is, they're really pissing me off.'
Inuyasha glared as the figure moved once again. Below him, everyone was finally waking up. They all seemed to be in cheerful moods and he was anything but that. The lack of sleep, plus Kagome leaving and now this idiot across the field...let's just say he wasn't going to be any fun for the others.
He dropped down and glared to the others.
"Can we get out of here? We're almost there."
He suddenly turned on Shippo with a snarl. "And if I hear you ask anyone, one time if they'll carry you, I'll hurt you so bad someone will HAVE to carry you!"
Shippo quivered, watching the fuming half demon walk away and up to Miroku.
"I'm serious, Miroku. Don't you dare carry him, he's big enough to make it on his own."
He glared to Sango and she glanced away, not particularly ready to fight with him. "Kagome had better get back soon," she whispered, glancing to Miroku. He chuckled. "We can only pray."
"I heard that!" spat Inuyasha as he waited for them to hurry up.
He looked up suddenly as the figure stepped out from their cover. Inuyasha's face cringed at the scent, hating it with every fiber of his being. He hated him...his confident strut and cocky smirk. Everything about him made Inuyasha's skin crawl with hate.
Kouga.
And behind him came his two faithful lackeys, looking nervously at the already angry half demon ahead of them.
"Inuyasha," greeted Kouga, his tone somewhat cheery. It made Inuyasha's curiousity perk.
"What do you want, Kouga?" he snapped, sneering bitterly at his rival.
Kouga placed his hands on his hips, looking around the half demon. "I heard you were looking for a Shikon Jewel shard...just north of here?"
One of Inuyasha's ebony eyebrows rose. "Yeah, what about it?"
Kouga shrugged, his cocky grin never falling. "Oh nothing, just that you don't need to bother. I already got it."
Inuyasha growled, his fangs showing with resentment.
"Knock it off mut. You're dealing with a real demon here," smirked Kouga, walking past Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's growl did quiet down, but his glare never faultered.
"I didn't come here to talk with you anyways," stated Kouga, marching up to Sango and Miroku. "I'm here to talk to my Kagome."
Inuyasha charged him, bearing down upon Kouga. "She's mine Kouga, and you know damn well that she is."
Kouga laughed. "That so? How come I don't see her anywhere? Were she mine, she'd be with me always, I can guarantee you that."
Inuyasha snarled. "Ask them, she's mine."
Kouga turned to Miroku and Sango. They would of course agree with Inuyasha, so it was no point in asking them. He snorted. "I can smell her all over you, I'll give you that."
Inuyasha's glare softened as he smirked. "Of course you can. She's my mate now, so you'd better back off."
Kouga chuckled. "Your mate? I'll believe it when I see it."
Inuyasha crossed his arms. "Fine. You'll be sorry when I prove you wrong."
Kouga repeated Inuyasha's action and rose his brow in the small hint of a challenge. "And how will you prove it? I don't see her, or smell her scent, besides the near day old one on you...probably from her clothes or something...," he sighed, "but I'll humor you, half breed, if you insist. You bring her here, get her to admit it freely that she's yours and I'll back off."
Inuyasha smirked. "You'll regret ever saying that."
Kouga shrugged. There was no way that dim witted idiot before him could have ever convinced his Kagome of beoming their mate.
With that satisfying thought, he plopped down beside Sango and began rummaging through her food. She stared at him in shock as Inuyasha turned on him. "What do you think your doing?" spat Kouga.
Inuyasha frowned. "Me?! What are you doing? Shouldn't you have run off already?!"
Kouga shook his head. "No, I'm waiting for you to prove it to me that Kagome's really yours."
Sango rose up, walking over to Miroku. "I always thought he was a bit more mature than Inuyasha."
Miroku shrugged as Inuyasha began to roar insults at the squatter, which in turn caused Kouga to spat off even better comebacks. "It doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to Kagome." Sango shook her head hopelessly, folding her arms across her chest. "And what about that jewel shard?" she questioned.
Miroku frowned. "Kouga."
The two stopped growling and cursing to turn to the monk. "Yeah?" he replied hotly.
"What are you doing with that jewel shard? You don't need it, do you?
Kouga laughed. "As if it's any of your business," he turned to Inuyasha and shoved his shoulder. "But I was actually planning on bargaining with Kagome for it."
Inuyasha grabbed his collar. "What do you mean, bargaining, for it?" he growled. Kouga shoved him away once more. "Don't touch me mut...you'll find out soon enough." He grinned. "Now run along and fetch her for me."
Inuyasha growled, flashing his claws threateningly.
Miroku ran infront of him. "Just go get her. The sooner you prove she's yours, the sooner he'll be out of your life for good."
Inuyasha didn't reply, but gave Kouga one last glare before taking off in the direction of the well.
Miroku let out a small sigh of relief.
'I just hope he brings Kagome back soon,' he glanced to the now eating Kouga as the remaining two of his pack sat down beside him. 'I don't know how long we can put up with them.' He glanced to Sango who was already biting her tongue to keep back her temper. Shippo was behind her leg, staring at them with bitter gaze.
'Hurry up, Inuyasha.'

A/n: Well? Not must angst in that chappie, mostly Kagome and her mom then Inuyasha and Kouga. Sorry if Kouga was out of character or anything...I don't think I did his personality justice in this, but oh well. I hope ya'll like this, it's 11:13 and I only read through it once, so if there are any errors in spelling or grammar, sorry. I'll update ASAP, so review, review, review! You guys have been awesome about it, please keep it up! :P
