KOUGA AND KEYA THE TROUBLE BEGINS PART 4 CHAPTER 7Kouga stood there staring at Kagura and the dragon, Keya cradled in his arms. His pack had heard the noise, and were now pilling out of the cave. They became awed in seconds as their eyes laid upon Sakura.
"Ginta! Get your butt over here!" Kouga yelled.
Ginta quickly snapped out of his daze and ran up towards Kouga.
"I want you to take her and guard her with your life." Kouga ordered as he gently laid Keya in Ginta's arms.
"Kouga what are you going to do?" Ginta wondered.
Kouga glared back at Ginta. "What do you think I'm going to do? I'm going to defeat that dragon." He replied this as he ran off towards the dragon. Before he reached the dragon he looked over his shoulder back at Ginta. "Oh and Ginta if you let Keya die I'll kill you!"
Ginta swallowed hard and nodded back at him unable to respond.
Kagura was complexed. Why was Keya laying in the arms of a wolf demon who was supposed to be protecting her. She's stronger than him she can protect herself. Then her eyes laid upon Keya's raven black hair.
A smile cracked across her face. "So Keya is in her human form." Kagura called from above. Meaning to direct the conversation to Kouga as he dodged Sakura's swipes at him. "To bad for her." Kagura knew that Keya must still have the bugs poison in her, so it was weakening her.
Off on the sidelines Kouga's pack watched. Too mesmerized to do anything. Ginta holding Keya very tightly. Fearing for his life more than hers.
"Uhh!" Keya grunted as she opened her eyes. She looked around her and at the sights that she saw. Confusion ran through her and wonder of how she survived the fire blast. Then the thought struck her, Kouga! Frantically she looked to see who was holding her. To her surprise it was Ginta and not Kouga. Looking around her she saw that Kouga was fighting the dragon, and not doing a very good job at it. She saw that he was injured and weak, and couldn't dodge very quickly.
"Ginta let me down." Keya ordered meekly.
Ginta was surprised that she had awaken already. "I'm sorry, but Kouga said that if I didn't protect you he would kill me!"
Kouga said that, Keya wondered. Then she glared back at Ginta a mischievous grin appearing on her face. "Ginta you think you should be scared of Kouga, but who you should really be scared of is me. You remember me in my demon form right? Well if you don't listen to me I'll slice you into ity bity pieces when I transform back, and I'll do it slowly and painfully."
After that Ginta quickly let Keya down. She grunted a bit, but stood up proudly so not to lose pride. Then she set her sights on the battle in progress. She could feel a jewel shards presence in the area. Finally she pin pointed it on Sakura's forehead. Before she could tell Kouga Sakura batted him across the chest, and now had him pinned against the cliff wall.
"KOUGA!" Keya shouted, but she did not know why she cared.
Kagura and Kouga quickly turned their heads towards her direction. Kagura smiled. "Keya how are you feeling these past days."
"Shut up Kagura!" Keya yelled.
"Aw, did I hit a sore spot?" Kagura sarcastically asked. "If you come with me we can get the antidote for the poison and Kouga here wont have to die. But if you don't Kouga will die and the poison will slowly drain away and you will grow weaker until you finally die. We can't have that. Naraku still needs you to find the royal."
Poison? Royal? Keya what is it that you are not telling me, wondered Kouga?
"I would sooner die than tell Naraku where the royal is." Keya yelled.
Kagura's face hardened at this. "You may not give information about the royal if your life is at stake, but what about another's?"
With this Sakura pushed Kouga harder against the cliff. Kouga letting out a grunt not wanting to scream the real pain he felt.
"MONSTER!" Keya yelled. "Only cowards pick on others to get what they want."
"Maybe, but it does get the job done." Kagura replied.
With each second Keya got madder and as she got madder the flame of power around her grew stronger. I got to find some way to kill that dragon, Keya thought. Suddenly she remembered something Kagura had said. That's right the dragon's name is Sakura!
I've heard that name before, but I can't remember when, pondered Keya. Wait I know! It was the name of that dragon demon that played with my brothers and I. I thought formed in her brain after this.
"Kagura! I thought you were after me. Then leave wolf boy, and come and get me!" Keya called.
With out another thought Kagura ordered Sakura to release Kouga. Then they headed off towards Keya.
Keya just stood there watching the dragon near. The flame around her grew stronger every second. Sakura was meters away from Keya close enough to attack and grab her.
Horror flashed across Kouga's face. "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY YOU DUMB GIRL!"
Keya ignored him concentrating at the task at hand. Oh Sakura I hope you remember this.
Then she opened her mouth and song flooded through her mouth. The song was enchanting. Her voice was the sweetest thing that you would ever hear. (Okay once again if you're wondering what she sounds like it's the song called 'Awakening Love'.)
The dragon suddenly stopped immediately. Inches away from Keya. The jewel shard in her forehead shining brightly.
Kagura was very annoyed at this. "Get moving you stupid dragon. Get the girl!"
Sakura ignored Kagura's commands. Instead she gently laid down in front of Keya. As Keya sang she slowly raised her hand up to Sakura's forehead. She held out her hand towards the jewel, and it popped out landing in Keya's hand. As soon as it landed in Keya's hand it began to be purified.
Sakura reverted back to her human form. Falling to the ground exhausted. Kagura luckily jumping off just in time.
Keya collapsed landing in Kouga's arms. Kouga gently picked her up. "Grab the other girl and bring her into the cave." Kouga ordered. Then walked towards the cave.
Mutt girl you surprise me, thought Kouga, and I believe you still haven't shown me your ultimate power.
No one noticing Kagura jumped onto her feather knowing she had been defeated. Well, at least for now.
Keya awoke to yelling and slashing. She was laying on Kouga's bed. They must have brought me in, she thought. Looking around her she saw no one.
She slowly got up, still weak from yesterdays battle, and walked out of the cave. There she saw everyone standing outside staring in one section. Following their eye's she saw Kouga on top of the dragon Sakura trying to put something around her neck.
Seeing Ginta she quickly ran up to him and asked, "What's wolf boy up to know?"
"Oh Keya you're awake good! Kouga will be glad to hear that." Ginta greeted. "He stayed up all night watching you and seeing if you would be ok."
He was worried about me, Keya wondered? She blushed at the thought, but quickly recovered. "Ginta what is happening?"
"Well you see Kouga was discussing his plan with a few of the pack members on how to uh.. kill Inuyasha. Then we heard this clutter of rocks tumbling down, and saw Sakura standing there. It turned out that she had heard the whole thing, so now Kouga is trying to put a necklace around her neck that will make her turn human." explained Ginta.
"Oh, I see." replied Keya with her brow furrowed. Then she walked off towards the fight.
"Hold still already! This wont hurt!" Kouga told as he tried to put on the necklace while also trying to keep his balance.
Get the hell off of me jerk! Sakura mentally yelled. (A/N: Okay whenever you see something like this: Hia It means that they are mentally thinking or speaking.)
Keya walked right up to fight. "Kouga get off of her right now!" she ordered. "Do you know what it looks like you're doing?"
Sakura suddenly stopped both her and Kouga stared at her. "No, what?" They both questioned.
"Are you both that dense?" Keya wondered.
Kouga and Sakura still stared at her with complexed looks on their faces.
"Huh, let me put it this way think sick thoughts." Keya replied.
Only seconds past when Sakura's face paled and she started to buck and screaming, "GET HIM OFF! GET HIM OFF!"
"Nice job Keya! You got her more mad!" Kouga yelled sarcastically.
"Can you blame her wolf boy?" Keya questioned. "Now get off of her!" As she said this she jumped up and grabbed Kouga's arm.
Watching from the side lines this was quite a hilarious sight. A dragon demon trying to buck off a wolf demon, a wolf demon trying to stay on and put a necklace around the dragons neck, and a human trying to get the wolf demon off.
Finally Kouga yelled, "SIT GIRL!" That was a BIG mistake.
Keya had a really good grip on Kouga's arm. The force of the magic necklace was so great that it pulled Keya down with Kouga, but not before Kouga finally got the necklace around Sakura's neck making her instantly revert to her human form. I would like to say that this was the worst of it, but then I would be lying.
When Keya got pulled to the ground she brought Kouga with her. She landed first on her back then Kouga landed on top of her. Yah it gets worse. Guess where his face landed. It landed between two things that only girls have.
(Keya: I hate you. Keynomoe: You think that's bad? I haven't gotten to the worst parts in this chapter. Keya: !!()
Keya and Kouga were both stunned at first, come on who wasn't? Then Keya snapped out of it and yelled, "GET OFF OF ME YOU PERV!" With this she slapped Kouga so hard he flew up into the sky.
Keya then turned to Sakura who was watching the flying Kouga with much entertainment.
"Long time no see Sakura." Keya greeted with a smile still blushing from the Kouga incident.
Sakura quickly turned towards Keya confused. "Do I know you?" she wondered.
"Yep! I'm Inuyasha's little sister."
Sakura's eyes widened when this was said. "Keya? Is that you?" With this she ran over to Keya and hugged her really tight tears pouring from her eyes. "I've missed you sooo much! Inuyasha is really worried about you."
"Heh, Sakura I missed you to. Now lets go inside so I can tend to your wounds." Keya said then turned towards Ginta and Enema. "I need you guys to get me this plant." She ordered this as she showed them a plant with blue leaves and golden berries.
"Why should we do what you say?" Enema questioned.
"Huh, Ginta tell him what I'll do if he doesn't listen to me." Keya replied.
Ginta leaned over to Enema's ear and whispered what Keya had told him the night before. Enema's face paled at this and they both ran off without another complaint.
Keya lead Sakura into the cave. Allowing her to lean against her for support. Her ankle had been wounded in the battle last night.
Soon after Keya had boiled some water Ginta and Enema returned with thousands of the plants that she had asked for. She thanked them then started squeezing the berries of their juices, tearing up the leaves and breaking the twigs. As she did this she put the stuff into the pot stirring it constantly.
Once the mixture was done Keya removed the pot from the fire and set it off to the side so it could cool. When the mixture was cooled Keya took a stick and scooped up the mixture. "Now Sakura this may sting so be prepared." She warned her as she applied the mixture.
Sakura grunted a bit, but nothing more.
"How do you know all of these remedies?" Wondered Ginta.
"Maybe you'll recognize me more if I say this. I'm known to a lot of people as the angel of care." Replied Keya
Everyone gaped at this. There was not a sole in the world that didn't know the angel of care. It is said that she has mystical powers that can heal anything.
As this was being said Kouga was just coming back from his flight. He heard what had been said. Keya is the angel of care? Kouga wondered. Huh once again you surprise me mutt girl. He stayed at the cliffs edge unnoticed.
"Ugg." Sakura groaned.
"What is it? Did the mixture sting?" Keya wondered.
"I wish! No, that dumb wolf demon got blood on my kimono." Sakura replied.
Blood!?!? Keya wondered. Kouga must have gotten hurt. She looked around the room for the wolf demon. Finally she located him near the entrance. Keya gracefully got up and walked towards him.
Kouga was in thought when she was walking over, so he didn't realize she was there. Keya noticed this, so she stood in front of him, but he still didn't notice. Finally she stood up tall and put her face up to his.
"Hey wolf boy!" She exclaimed.
Kouga was surprised at this and blushed for a reason he did not know.
"C'mon I finished fixing up Sakura now it's your turn." Keya said.
"Huh, I don't need to be fixed up or your help." Kouga replied. "I'll heal in a few days."
"Oh really?" Keya sarcastically asked. Then she grabbed Kouga's arm where the Sakura had scratched it when he saved Kagome.
Kouga yelped in pain unwillingly. He glared up at Keya for making him look like a wimp.
"You were saying?" Keya asked. "Now stop being so stubborn and let me fix your wounds." Keya turned to walk, but when Kouga just sat there grumbling she went back and grabbed his bad arm. "C'mon!"
Ignoring Kouga's protests Keya held on tight and dragged him over to the bed. Kouga kept on saying ow as she did this. Everyone stared astonish that Kouga, their leader, was cringing in pain. Sakura however bursted out with laughter.
"Man this wound is deep." Keya said as she analyzed the wound. "Were in the world did you get it from?"
Kouga was looking the other direction when he answered. "I probably got it from scale girl over there."
"Hey!" Sakura responded as she waved her clenched fist at him threatingly.
"Hmm, it looks like you got poison in it." Keya said, ignoring the petty fight Kouga and Sakura were having. Without warning she applied the mixture to his arm. Kouga quickly pulled his arm away and glared at Keya.
"What ya do that for?" Kouga wondered.
"Huh, listen up because I'm only going to say this once. If I don't apply this defecting mixture the poison will infect farther. As time passes it will grow worse. The bleeding will be constant. Your body will start to slow down and you will grow weaker. Finally slowly you will die." Keya answered.
"My how specific you were." Kouga responded sarcastically.
"Dang, the bleeding wont stop." Keya said ignoring Kouga's response. "Do you guys have any cloth I could use to wrap his arm?"
"Uh you see we are kind of a new wolf pack so we haven't destroyed a village yet, so we don't have that much supplies." Said one of the pack members.
"Hmm, Then could you grab me my clothes, you know the ones I came in." Keya asked.
"Well you see they were stained with blood and torn, so we threw them away." Tamion answered.
Keya glared at the pack at that moment. Then with a deep sigh she said a couple of words, and suddenly her old clothes came flying in. she snatched them from the air. Tearing a piece from the cloth she started to use it to wrap Kouga's arm.
"Mutt girl if you want my arm shouldn't you use something else. Wont this dirty thing infect it more?" wondered Kouga.
"This is a special cloth. It was made from the hair of the unicesses, Rogel. Then the greatest priestess's and priests cast great spells on it. Now when I am in my demon form and wearing it, it will always be cleansed and if it is torn it will restitch it self." Keya explained.
"And how did you get it?" Kouga wondered.
"My father gave it to me when I was little." Keya responded as she continued wrapping Kouga's arm.
"Keya tell me something. You hate my guts and yet you are healing my arm. Why?" Kouga wondered.
"Listen up wolf boy I am not doing this for you. If you die then your wolf pack will have no use for me. Then they would probably kill me then eat me. They would also probably eat Sakura. Am I right?" Keya diverted this question to the wolf pack. They all stared for a second bewildered, then quickly turned away knowing that she was right.
Keya smiled at this and then continued on. "And at our present states, her and me would be eaten. So you see if you die we also die." She finished her explanation with finishing the knot on the cloth with a hard tug that made Kouga wince.
LATER ON
"What's happening?" Keya questioned Sakura. She had just gotten up from a good nights sleep, and already something seemed to be happening.
"Keya!" Sakura exclaimed. "Your awake! For I while I thought you were dead."
"What do you mean? What time is it anyways?" Keya wondered.
"Well it's the afternoon of course!" Sakura stated.
Keya looked up at the sun. Its position defiantly told that it was indeed the afternoon. Why am I sleeping in so late these days? The poison must be getting worse. Then she caught sight of what exactly was making the disrupting noise. Kouga and some other wolf demon were duking it out.
"What's wolf boy up to now?" Keya asked yet again.
"Oh, some new wolf demon challenged him for his leadership." Sakura answered.
"Hmm." Wonder who this guy is. Keya wondered.
Here thoughts were interrupted when Sakura engaged her into a very interesting conversation.
Meanwhile Kouga and the stranger were fighting a furious fight. But with one final blow Kouga won. (A/N: Yah yah I know that I didn't put in much detail about the fight. So what?)
"Huh, you call yourself a fighter? Pathetic!" Kouga commented giving the fallen demon a kick in the side. "Come back and face me when your stronger." With that Kouga walked off.
He stopped in front of Keya and Sakura. When he was passing by them their muffled giggles could be heard. "What are you two buffoons laughing about?" Kouga questioned with one eye brow raised.
Both of them fought over who would tell him, but finally Sakura shoved Keya up. With one final glare at Sakura Keya stood up proudly in front of Kouga.
"We were both just wondering … are you a guy or a girl?" Keya asked.
Sakura bursted out with laughter as well as the rest of the pack. Kouga however clenched his fists and glared at Keya not to mention a vein on his forehead was throbbing.
"YOU DUMB GIRL! OF COURSE I'M A GUY!" Kouga exploded.
"Well it's kind of hard to tell with you wearing a ponytail and a skirt and all." Keya replied. She was about to add something, but suddenly her eye caught something. Quickly she pushed Kouga out of the way.
"What the hell was that for?" Kouga wondered, but then noticed why Keya had done what she had done.
There in her clasp was a star disk (A/N: you know the things ninjas always through.) inches away from her nose.
"Your skills have improved since our last encounter Keya. Your in your human form you're sick and yet you still managed to catch my star disk." Responded the mysterious wolf demon who Kouga had just fought. Now standing, his wounds all disappeared, he grinned at Keya.
"Susuke, what do you want?" Keya questioned dropping the star disk to the ground and glaring at Susuke.
"Kena just wanted to see how you were doing and how strong you were getting." Susuke replied. "It wouldn't be good if you were dead would it?"
"Tell your master that I could care less if he cared about me or not!" Keya responded testily. "Where is that bastard anyway?"
Susuke sneered. "YOU should know that. Doesn't your markings work any more?"
Keya glared at Susuke. It was true her markings on her arm were burning worse than before. He must be close. Damn!
Seeing the anguish on Keya's face Susuke smiled. "How far away is the occasion now? Oh yes. Seven months away until you reach the proper age, and the ceremony can take place."
"SHUT THE FUCKIN HELL UP!" Keya yelled.
Not liking to be kept in the dark Sakura spoke up. "Excuse me but what in the world are you two talking about?"
All the other pack members nodded in agreement. All of them had NO clue to what was going on.
"So Keya you haven't told anyone about it yet?" Questioned Susuke with mockery in his voice. "Well that's okay I'll just tell them."
"Don't you dare! It's none of their business anyways!" Keya responded furious.
"Hmph, as you wish. By the way what are you doing with the wolf pack anyway?"
Keya glared at Kouga for a moment then turned her fury back at Susuke. "Oh, I'm just here because wolf boy over there kidnapped me, and is keeping me hostage until he can use me for bait to kill my brother."
"Hmph, Kena wont be happy about that. Don't worry as soon as he hears of this he'll be here in mere seconds and save you." Susuke stated.
"Tell Kena that I don't need his help escaping! I can do that on my own!" Keya said.
"You're still as feisty as ever," Susuke started, " or is it just because you and that wolf demon have something going on?"
Both Keya and Kouga stopped breathing at this remark. Silence stroke everyone at that moment all eyes laying on Kouga and Keya. Then the two of them both exchanged glances, but noticed that the other one was staring back and turned away quickly, blushing.
Keya glared back at Susuke. Hatred glinting in her eyes. "HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK THAT I WOULD HAVE ANYTHING GOING ON WITH THAT JERK OF A DEMON! He's almost as bad as Kena."
"Kouga, I think you have just been insulted." Stated Enema.
"Who is she calling a jerk?" Kouga annoyingly asked.
After Keya's outburst she walked up to the mystified Sakura, who still had no clue what was happening right now, and started to pull her. "C'mon Sakura! I need to get away from these annoying pests!"
"Hey! Where do you think you are going?" asked Kouga and Susuke together.
Not stopping her walk Keya looked over her shoulder and answered, "To the hot spring and away from you two! Susuke tell Kena to drop dead and leave me alone! Oh and both of you don't you dare follow us or I'll kill you!"
"Huh, why master Kena likes her I'll never know, it must be for her looks." Susuke wondered. Then was about to take his leave, but was stopped by Kouga grabbing his arm.
"You're no going anywhere until you tell me what is going on!" Kouga claimed.
"All I'm saying is that you better not do anything to Keya, ruthless or sexual, or else Kena will kill you." Susuke answered. Then some how he made dust winds blow into Kouga's eyes.
When the dust had settled Susuke was gone.
"Uh that feels better." Keya sighed as she slipped into the hot springs beside Sakura. "Hopefully wolf boy listens to my warning."
Keya looked over at Sakura with a smile, but it faded when she saw that her friend was looking quite sad. "Sakura what is it?"
Sakura looked at her brown eyed friend. "Keya what was that guy Susuke talking about?"
Keya frowned at this questioned. Then smiling at Sakura answered, "Oh that? It was nothing."
Sakura stared back at her questionably. Still not convinced that this was the truth. Then she caught a glimpse of something on Keya's arm. She quickly grabbed it and held it up to her eyes to get a better look at it.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Keya questioned. Trying to struggle out of Sakura's grasp.
Sakura's eyes widened for what she saw on Keya's arm. "Keya are these what I think they are?" Sakura asked, awe in her voice.
Taking advantage of Sakura's loosened grip Keya snatched her arm back glaring back at Sakura. Then with her eyes cast down she answered her friend. "Yes, they are. My so called father gave them to me when I was ten."
Sakura, still in shock, looked back at her friend sympathetically. "So it's happening on your birthday this year?"
Keya nodded in reply. Her head in her arms ashamed of this fact.
With mischievous smile on her face Sakura asked, "So how old are you going to be this year?" Keya looked up at her friend questionably. With an even wider grin Sakura added, "Let me guess …. one million!"
Keya stared back at her, awestruck. Being called one million years old was a insult to any younger demon.
Keya stared at Sakura for only a second then glared at her. With out any warning Keya started to splash Sakura. Before you knew it there was a splashing war! Water, Laughing and giggling erupted.
"Master Sesshomaru, Rin is tired!" The little girl wined. "Can we pleeeaaaase have rest?"
Sesshomaru looked ahead. There was no sign of Sakura and already it had been one day, almost two. "Huh, fine Rin, but it will have to be a short one."
"Rin thanks you very much!" exclaimed Rin as she plopped down on a nearby rock.
"Master Sesshomaru, I think I hear Sakura's laughter down there." Jaken announced. He was standing near the ledge of the cliff, looking over the edge trying to sees if he could see past the trees.
Sesshomaru walked over behind him. "Are you sure Jaken?"
"Aye my lord. I am almost certain." Jaken answered. "Maybe we should go down there and check if it is."
"I have a better idea Jaken. Why don't you go instead?" Sesshomaru stated with his inhumanly emotionless voice. Then with a slight kick Jaken fell down the cliff.
At first all you could hear was Jaken's screams as he fastly fell down the cliff. Sakura and Keya stopped playing and stared up questionably at the sound. Then SPLASH!
The girls screams could be heard echoing throughout the forest.
Sesshomaru stood up straight with a sigh. "Yep that's Sakura alright. Hurry up Rin, we better get down there before Sakura disposes of Jaken.
"Coming Master Sesshomaru!"
