DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha.

A/N: You may have noticed that I did not respond to the reviewers in the last chapter like I said I was going to, but I was getting ready to start and then I remembered I had a doctor's appointment! Grr, I hate those things.. So anyway, I just quickly submitted the chapter before I left. I'm not going to respond to reviews in this chapter because it is very time-consuming and I want to use all the extra time I have for writing the story, so please enjoy! And thank you SOOOO much to all those of you who have reviewed!

NOTE: I suck at battle scenes, so please try to excuse the...uh...sucky-ness. Any tips for battle scenes would be a great help to me! Okay, enjoy!


CHAPTER VI: Failed Rescue

Koga whimpered in pain at the gashes across his arm. Inuyasha smirked.

"Alright...I'll make a deal with you, mutt-face..." Koga said, using his unwounded arm to point at Kagome, "...if you get the hell out of here, we won't kill your mate."

Inuyasha's eyes widened. "You'll do no such thing!" he barked, lunging forward to attack.

Koga merely wagged his finger in the air as Inuyasha came closer. "Ah, ah, ah! Bad dog!" he said in that way mothers do when their children misbehave.

Koga dodged Inuyasha's sharp claws, narrowly avoiding a similar wound on his right arm to that on his left. Meanwhile, one of Koga's wolves raised its paw and brought it down on Kagome's leg, and she gained a small but deep cut.

Squealing and wincing in pain, Kagome glared at the wolf demons.

"Hey!" Inuyasha growled, looking at what the wolf had done to his koibito.

"I warned you, Inuyasha. Get out of here and we won't kill your precious mate," Koga said, smirking.

Inuyasha looked lost. He had no idea whether he should stay and risk Kagome getting hurt or leave and still run the same risk. He knew he couldn't fight off all the wolves at once, at least not alone.

The wolves began to growl loudly and advance on the bound miko. Kagome panicked and shouted, in a high-pitched tone, "Inuyasha! Just go, I'll be fine, I promise!"

"No, Kagome! I don't trust these wolves; I'm not leaving you here!" Inuyasha growled, and ran towards the wolf pack that was currently closing in on poor, helpless Kagome—and he was met with a fist in his stomach from Koga.

All the air was instantly knocked from Inuyasha's lungs and he toppled backward, until he fell on the back of something...furry?

His vision blurred, he had no idea what had broken his fall. But he could hear some of the wolves whimpering, he could hear blows being delivered, what was going on? Are they hurting Kagome? Inuyasha wondered in a panic as he struggled to regain his vision.

"Don't worry, Inuyasha, we're here now!" came Sango's voice, loud and clear. Kilala had broken Inuyasha's fall.

Miroku, Sango and Kilala were battling off the wolves while Shippo quietly snuck through all the confusion and began untying Kagome. However, he was interrupted by Ginta and Hakkaku and began to fight them, leaving Kagome still tied to the pole.

Miroku was trying to battle six wolves at once. Smacking them away with his staff, he tried to get to Sango, who seemed to be injured.

"Sango, are you alright?" Miroku called out to her. There was no response, and suddenly Miroku felt sharp teeth sinking into his right shin. Yelling in pain, Miroku used some ofudas to get the wolf off, but there were plenty more advancing on him.

Meanwhile, Sango was trying desperately to clear the sea of wolves with her hirakotsu, but to no avail. She had already been bitten deeply on her left shoulder and the wound was bleeding profusely. Through all the barking, growling and shouting, she vaguely heard Miroku call to her, but had no chance to respond when suddenly the open mouth of a wolf was coming far to close to her neck.

Inuyasha had finally regained his composure and was trying to get to Koga, to kill him again, as Shippo was taking care of Kagome. However, Inuyasha was being delayed by deep bites to his ankles, delivered by Koga's damn wolves. He began to wonder when Koga's pack had gotten so huge.

There was suddenly an ear piercing scream from Sango. Everyone turned to see that a wolf was currently on top of her, his mouth clamped on her neck.

"SANGO!" Inuyasha, Miroku, Kagome and Shippo screamed in unison. But before any one of them could do anything, Kilala had already knocked the wolf over and began devouring it with her teeth. Miroku ran over to protect Sango before the other wolves got to her.

The blood was pounding in his ears as he saw his beloved Sango lying on the ground, her neck drenched in crimson. His mouth ran dry as he picked her up and held her away from the hungry muzzles of the wolves. Somewhere in the dark, wolf-ridden cave, Koga was laughing maniacally.

Miroku stared at his beautiful Sango. He could hear her labored breathing, so ragged and uneven. Her eyes were wide with shock and fear. Her whole body seemed to be tensing with the effort to breathe.

"Sango..." he whispered her name softly, holding her stiffened body close, getting blood on his robes.

"MIROKU! GET HER OUT OF HERE!" Inuyasha shouted urgently. Quickly Inuyasha distracted all of the wolves by taunting them so that Miroku could make his escape.

Holding his wounded wife in his arms, Miroku made a mad dash for the entrance of the cave, realizing he was going to have to climb down with Sango in his arms, and that could prove to be dangerous and extremely difficult.

"NO, DAMMIT! DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!" Koga shrieked, running towards the houshi and pained Taijiya. But he was met with a fist in his stomach from Inuyasha.

"Payback's a bitch, ain't it, Koga?" Inuyasha asked, smirking as he watched Koga gasp painfully for breath.

Miroku had started the long, dangerous climb down with Sango, praying to Kami that he would be able to get her to Kaede's quickly and safely.

Looking up, Miroku saw Kilala fly out of the cave and soar over to where Miroku was barely gripping the first ledge.

He gently but quickly laid Sango down on Kilala's back, then got on himself.

"Hurry, Kilala!" he urged the neko youkai, "We don't have much time..."

And with that, the fearful houshi, wounded Taijiya and concerned neko youkai flew off into the distance and away from Koga's cave.


Kagome panicked. Shippo was barely dodging Ginta and Hakkaku's attacks, and Inuyasha was trying to fight Koga, but her precious hanyou was visibly weakening. Tears filled her eyes; there was nothing she could do but sit here and wait for someone to untie her.

Inuyasha yelled out in pain as Koga's claws sliced the skin on his stomach, ripping his haori and knocking him backwards into a group of hungry wolves, who had been impatiently waiting for their turn at injuring him.

Koga, smirking as always, left Inuyasha to fight the wolves, and he went over to Kagome, who was whimpering and sniffling fearfully.

"Hush, Kagome. I'm going to take you away from here, I promise," he whispered to her seductively, so that not even Inuyasha could hear. He could see that she was about to scream for dog-breath, so he quickly pressed his lips against hers and reached behind the pole to untie her.

Inuyasha's battle with the wolves was so intense that he did not notice Koga keeping his disgusting mouth clamped over Kagome's, and Inuyasha did not notice that while Koga was kissing her he had untied her and was beginning to leave the cave with her.

No matter how much Kagome struggled against Koga, he would not move his mouth, and he would not let go of her. Her legs were still tied together tightly, disabling her from kicking Koga. And her wrists were still bound together as well, just not to a pole anymore.

Kagome whimpered through closed lips, tears flowing freely down her cheeks as Koga began to jump ledges, going down the mountain, taking her away from the protection of Inuyasha.

It was not until the two were long gone that Inuyasha finally noticed their absence.


A/N: DUH NUN! Will Koga attempt to rape Kagome again? Or will Inuyasha rescue her in time? And will Sango live? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF...KOIGOKORO II – EMIKO!
