Kagome jumped up, her clawed hands clentched tightly. " Kouga! Leave him alone!" Her eyes shot daggers of hate at Kouga as tears slid down her cheeks, and she wondered for a moment, why she never let Inuyasha kill him. Kouga walked over Inuyasha and to her, grabbing her roughly by the arm. " You're coming with me! I have questions that i want answered right now and you're the only one who can answer them!" As Kouga pulled her out of the cave, Kagome sneaked a look at Inuyasha, who hadnt moved from the spot where he layed.
Inuyasha layed in the dark, his head swimming from the pain he was in. His body was easily healing the minor wounds and were working on the major ones. But Inuyasha didnt care. All he could remember was Kagome's face as she'd died, the look of love and devotion that only Inuyasha had seen before her eyes closed for the last time. Her voice drifted into his mind, running circles around his sleepy, energy drained brain. Kagome was before him, in his minds eye, her soft eyes hard from the scolding she was giving him. Her face faded, appearing and disappearing as differant memories came and went. Differant emotions on her face at differant times. Inuyasha suddenly saw Kagome's face change into that of kikyo...Who was she now...Inuyasha knew she was no longer the pure lover he'd first fell for, but it had been so long since the last time he'd seen her...When she'd baid him goodbye forever. What had she ment by goodbye? Inuyasha fought within himself, knowing that it was Kagome he loved, yet wondering where his lost lover had disappeared to. Inuyasha's mind slowly blanked as Kagome's voice came to him from the face of the demon and he had the dreadful feeling that he was missing something with great significants...
Kagome growled in frustration for the tenth time in 20 minutes. Kouga refused to believe the woman he'd lost because of Inuyasha was standing before him in a half-demons body. " Kagome died by Sesshomarou's claws! And it was that damned Inuyasha's fault for not protecting her as she should have been! You are nothing but a lier and a sneak! I have no clue what you wish to gain by telling this false truth, but you'll never, EVER convince anyone that you're Kagome!" His eyes flared with anger and Kagome sighed, wondering why she was even trying. She held her clawed hands up before her, examining them. 'Not even i would reconize myself in this body...' She thought to herself, all the while knowing Kouga watched her with his ''I-know-you're-a-fake" eyes and face. Kagome didnt have anyway of how she could prove who she was...And without any proof...she was dead. Kouga growled, impatient with her. Kagome understood his anger. She was threatening his beloved vision of her as a human, and her human virsion was all he could stand to lose. Kagome decided it would be best to take the name her new body had held. Sutorumi...It wasnt a name Kagome really wished to hold for herself. The girls name seemed to match her reputation...Stormy. Kagome sighed and turned to leave Kouga's cave when he growled at grabbed her arm. " How did you survive that attack to return here Sutorumi? Everyone know's that out of all the wolf demons, you were always the worst fighter. My warriors killed you and yet here you stand before me." Kouga growled and released her arm. His eyes burned with rage and a look of long burning discust and hatred for her. Whatever Sutorumi had done to Kouga, Kagome didnt like the fact that she now held the dead wolf girls body and the hate it brought with it. " Kouga...Whatever Sutorumi did, you must beleive that it wasnt me...I've done nothing to you or anyone yo-" Kouga's hands were suddenly at her throat and Kagome looked at him in shock. " You did nothing to anyone?! You lieing bitch! You killed him ten years ago and even though i'd let you live then, you think that means everything is forgiven?!" Kouga flung her like a rag doll to the mouth of his cave and growled for her to get out before he killed her right then and there.
Inuyasha had long since given up. His heart and soul cried out for Kagome's presance again. just to hold her one more time. To feel her arms around him and to hear her soft voice whispering in his ear. And through everything Inuyasha felt, everything he thought, he kept having the feeling he was missing something very important...
