Chapter 8: Kouga Drops By Again
Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Kilala kept running for quite some time. They came upon a village and entered. All the villagers gasped as they saw the three demons. Kagome told them that they had brought no harm. The villagers sighed and greeted the new people into the village.
"This would be a good place to stay the night at instead of in the forest." Miroku said. He looked around and saw all the pretty girls and waved to them, smiling. Sango whapped him.
"Don't be such a flirt all the time." Sango glared at him. She hopped off Kilala as well did everyone else. Kagome and Shippou got off of Inuyasha's back and Laura slid off Sesshoumaru's.
Inuyasha stretched. "Let's see if they know anything about any demons nearby. Kagome, you and Sango go find us an inn for the night. The rest of you, look around or go with Kagome and Sango." He then began to wander off into the village, questioning the villagers he pasted.
Kagome and Sango began to head into the village in search of an inn. Rin followed along with Ame chasing her. Shippou joined in and soon they began to play a game of tag. Miroku had wondered off, looking around. Laura and Sesshoumaru followed after Miroku to keep an eye on him.
"We have to make sure he doesn't get any ideas of having us stay at some old place saying that it's surrounded by evil spirits. Kagome's told me he's done that quite a few times." Laura told Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru laughed.
"He's an odd one that monk is." He closed his eyes and sensed someone coming. He stopped walking and turned to the mountains.
Laura looked at Sesshoumaru to see him staring at the mountains. "What's wrong Sesshoumaru?" She asked as she walked back up to him.
"Someone's coming." He said. "Go grab the monk. I get Inuyasha and the others." He then walked off, in search of his brother.
Laura shrugged and walked up to Miroku. She told him about what Sesshoumaru had said and they began to follow after him. They met up with everyone soon enough.
"Inuyasha what's going on?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha sniffed the air and growled. "Kouga, that's what's wrong." He growled and looked around. "Where is the mutt?"
Laura had remembered what Kouga had said a few days ago. ' "I'll be back." Did he really mean that? Why would he come back?' She looked at the entrance of the village to see a figure with wolfs surrounding him. She backed up slightly.
The figure moved towards them. "Well, well, well, if it isn't dog face. What's this? You have your brother traveling with you now?" Kouga scoffed. He smirked. "Where's that girl that I had a few days ago? Is she still with you or did you loose her too?"
Inuyasha growled and then snorted. "She's still traveling with us, not that it's any of your concern."
Kouga laughed. "Oh boy mutt, you really are loosing you touch. So, where is she?" He looked around and spotted Laura. He began to walk towards her but both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru stopped.
Laura ran to Kagome. "Kagome, let's get out of here. I have a bad feeling this isn't going to end well." She looked back at Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.
Kagome nodded. "We have the inn we're going to stay at so let's go back there. C'mon Sango. Ame, Rin, Shippou, Jaken, you too." They began to head to the inn.
Kouga noticed the girls sneaking off. "Looks like they don't like you. Mind if I take them off your hands?" He smirked
Inuyasha growled. "You leave Kagome and everyone else alone!" He wanted to just go up to Kouga and rip out his inners.
Miroku shrank back. "Looks like ya don't need my help. I'll go protect the girls." He began to walk off but Sesshoumaru caught his robes.
"No you don't. Be a man. You're staying here with us to keep Kouga here." He said. He placed the monk down beside him and then looked back at Kouga. "Why is it that you want Laura so much?"
Kouga grinned. "Because since I can't have Kagome, she'll be the next best thing. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to attend to." He began to walk past them, following the direction the girls went but once again Sesshoumaru stopped him.
"What kind of business is this?" He smirked.
"Claiming my woman. Got a problem with it?" Kouga asked. He brushed past Sesshoumaru who grabbed his arm and threw him against a wall of a nearby house.
"You're not claiming anyone wolf." He growled. He looked at Kouga who looked dumbstruck. "Keep your dirty hands off the woman." He began to walk off whenever Kouga sped past him, following Kagome's scent to find her.
Inuyasha growled and ran after him. "No you don't wolf boy! Keep your hands off Kagome and Laura!" He then caught up with him and punched him, sending him flying into a stand. The villagers shrieked as they saw the wolf demon hit the stand and they began to flee to their homes.
Kouga had blood dripping out of the side of his mouth. He growled and got up. "Get lost half-breed! Kagome needs a dog, not a puppy." He smirked.
Inuyasha growled and then smirked. "She needs a dog, not some wolf brought up by some monkeys."
Kouga growled. "Why you! You shall pay for saying that!" He then charged at Inuyasha, ramming into him. He then kicked him, sending him flying into another stand. Kouga smirked. "Stay doggy."
Inuyasha growled and got up. He looked over at Sesshoumaru. He noticed that Miroku had run to find the girls. 'Chicken.' He thought.
Sesshoumaru was watching his brother fight. 'He's becoming stronger but I'll let him have his fun before I step in.'
Kouga smirked. "I've had just about enough of you dog boy." He sped past him, closing in on Kagome and Laura. He then saw them in his sight. He smirked and began to run faster. He caught up with them and picked up both Laura and Kagome.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled. She took out her boomerang and sent it at Kouga. It missed him and she caught it again. "Damn it!"
Ame glared at Kouga. "He's not a nice demon." She then used her wind to push against him. The wind began to push him back but he broke through it, heading back to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.
He arrived with the two girls on his shoulders. "Well, it's either one or the other. I either mark Kagome or Laura. Pick and chose." He smirked.
Sesshoumaru had had enough with Kouga. "Don't touch either of them." He growled. He then charged at Kouga, hitting him with incredible force. The two girls flew up into the air and began to fall. Inuyasha ran and caught them both.
Kouga hit a house, causing it to dent. He looked at Sesshoumaru and growled. "I thought you didn't like your brother. Why are you helping him?"
Sesshoumaru smirked. "That's not of your concern." He then slashed Kouga with his claws in the face. "Now leave before I kill you."
Kouga got up. He had never fought Sesshoumaru and now knew never to mess with him. "You might see me again. Just watch your back." He sped off, heading out of the village.
Sesshoumaru smirked and then looked at Inuyasha who had set Laura and Kagome to their feet. "Well done little brother. You're not a bad fighter."
Inuyasha looked at Sesshoumaru. Had he just complemented him? "Umm, thanks." He smirked. "Nice job on wolf boy. You taught him a lesson or two."
Sesshoumaru grinned. "No body messes with the affairs of women." He looked over at Laura who was smiling at him. He could only smile back.
Sango, Ame, Rin, Shippou, and Jaken came running up to them. Jaken looked at his master.
"Lord Sesshoumaru! Did that wolf demon hurt the lord?" He asked as he waddled over to him.
Sesshoumaru looked at Jaken and shook his head. "He did not touch me Jaken."
Jaken sighed and then was glomped by Rin. "Rin caught Jaken!" She smiled and then looked at Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru-sama!" She smiled again
Laura looked over at Ame and grinned. "Nice try to stop him."
Ame looked over at Laura and smiled. "Thank you!" She bowed and then looked around. "Hey, where's Miroku at?"
Laura had forgotten about him. She looked around to see him on his knee, asking someone to bare his child. She walked over to him and grabbed him by his robes. "What is it with you?" She began to drag him back over to the others and sighed. "I found him."
Ame grinned and grabbed Miroku. "Hello Miroku!" She smiled at him. Miroku grinned.
"Ame, could you possibly tell Laura to let go?" He asked, smiling. Ame grinned and then told her to let go. Ame then grabbed his robes and began to drag him back to the inn.
"That's better!" She grinned.
Laura laughed at the sight. "Looks like Ame's having fun."
Kagome smiled and looked at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, are you ok?"
Inuyasha looked over at her and nodded. "Yeah I'm fine. Stupid wolf, who does he think he is trying to take you and Laura." He sighed. "He will never learn."
Rin followed after him and jumped on Miroku. "Hello!" She smiled at him. Miroku sighed and shook his head. 'Why me?' He wondered
Sango followed after them with Shippou. Laura walked up to Sesshoumaru and smiled. "Thanks." She blushed lightly.
Sesshoumaru smirked. "No need to thank me." He began to follow after them.
Laura sighed. 'Why did I do that! I'm such a freak.' She followed after them.
End.
