Chapter Two:
Kouga, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru
"Why would you think Lord Sesshomaru would do something like that?" Rin asked. "Well he doesn't have the best reputation!" Kagome said. "Hmmm!" Rin said thoughtfully.
"Inuyasha you will hand the skinny violent one over to me! No harm will come to her," Sesshomaru said demandingly. "No! Kagome stays with me!" Inuyasha yelled. Inuyasha gripped the handle of the Tetsaiga.
"Brother there is no need for that!" Sesshomaru said, even though he too was gripping the hilt of his own sword. The two seemed to be having a battle without words.
"What's going on here guys?" Miroku asked seeing Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's staring contest. "This jerk wants to kidnap Kagome!" Inuyasha hissed. "If Sesshomaru was going to kidnap Kagome why would he tell you first?" Sango said sarcastically. "Shut Up!" Inuyasha growled.
"Why do you want Kagome anyway?" Miroku asked Sesshomaru. "The skinny violent one can sense the sacred jewel, I need her!" Sesshomaru said getting impatient. "I already told you, you can't have Kagome!" Inuyasha screeched.
Sesshomaru was getting angry. He wanted to leave. Kagome and Rin appeared out of the forest. They had been gone a while and Rin was asleep over Kagome's shoulder.
"Ahh!" Inuyasha said, sniffing the air. "What is it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. "That scent, it's…" Just then a whirlwind blew into the clearing. There stood Kouga with Shouta on his back, with motion sickness!
"Oh great, now all my favorite people are here!" Inuyasha said sarcastically. Sesshomaru starred at Kouga as he let Shouta off his back.
Rin woke up and hopped off Kagome's shoulder. She took one look at Kouga and Shouta and began to cry. "Lord Sesshomaru!" She cried as she scampered up Sesshomaru's side. "Do not worry Rin, he will not hurt you," Sesshomaru said in monotone. Rin wasn't coming down from Sesshomaru's shoulder.
"Uh Kouga?" Kagome said. "Yes Kagome, my love!" Kouga said. "Is that your, uh son?" she asked gesturing to Shouta. Shouta got a strange look on his face. "No!" Kouga said angrily.
"Oh so now your saving little children!" Inuyasha nagged. Sesshomaru gave Inuyasha an angry look. "No!" Kouga hissed. "Then why is he hanging around with you?" Inuyasha teased.
"Inuyasha can't you tell?" Kagome said, trying to keep Inuyasha from tearing Kouga apart. "He's a wolf demon, like Kouga, he's naturally going to let him tag along!" Kagome said.
"Yeah, thanks to Naraku!" Shouta hissed to himself more than anyone else. "What?" Shouta asked. Everyone's gaze shifted to Shouta. "Did I say something?" Shouta asked. "What was that name again, wolf?" Inuyasha said, grabbing Shouta by the shoulders.
"N-Naraku," Shouta said. "WHERE! Where is Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled. "Uh, Help!" Shouta said, almost being pounced on by Inuyasha. "Inuyasha back off!" Kagome yelled. "Not on your life!" Inuyasha roared.
"Inuyasha, sit boy!" Kagome commanded. Inuyasha slammed into the ground. "Where is he?" Kouga asked, nicely. "He's uh that way," Shouta said pointing off toward the north. "Are you absolutely sure?" Kagome asked. "Don't you think I would remember someone like that?" Shouta asked. "Well I guess. Hey!" Kagome looked up and everyone was gone.
"Inuyasha, what about me?" Kagome yelled back. "Stay here and watch the kid!" Inuyasha yelled back. Sesshomaru popped back into the clearing, "Keep Rin safe or I will kill you!" Sesshomaru said before disappearing.
Rin was hiding behind Kagome. "What's wrong Rin?" Kagome asked. "I'm afraid of wolves!" she said. "Now Rin I'm sure he would never hurt you," Kagome said reassuringly.
Kagome walked over to Shouta. "Hey there!" She said in her happy little voice. "Hi," Shouta said miserably. "What's your name?" Kagome asked with a big smile on her face. "Shouta," he said. "Why are you so sad?" Kagome asked, still cheery. Shouta told him. "Oh well your lucky that Kouga found you before something else did.
"Why is that?" Shouta asked. "Kouga may seem rough sometimes but he's really sweet." Kagome said. "He'll take good care of you." "I don't think he likes me," Shouta said. "Why is that?" Kagome asked. "He got angry when I was unhappy about being a wolf demon," Shouta said. "Well Kouga is very proud of who he is, maybe he felt insulted," Kagome confided.
"Rin come over here!" Kagome yelled across the field. Rin carefully walked across the field. She sat on the opposite side of Kagome as Shouta. Shouta was scratching his tail, and Rin was watching Shouta carefully.
"Oh Rin he's not going to hurt you, are you Shouta?" Kagome asked happily. "Why would I?" Shouta asked. "Well Rin was attacked by wolves when she was younger and is afraid of wolves," Kagome said remembering a story Rin had told her earlier. "Besides demons don't have the best reputations," Kagome said. "Some demons take delight in killing others, but some like Inuyasha and Kouga…" "And lord Sesshomaru!" Rin interjected. "Right, are really nice and wouldn't hurt anybody.
Kagome passed out some left over sodas and potato chips and they all ate, especially Shouta who had, had almost nothing to eat the past three days. Kouga may have been kind, but he wasn't a chef.
