Well another chapter finished. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
Chapter 16: Into the Den of Wolves
"Kouga" Kagome breathed. She then fell into darkness. (A/N Ok guys Kagome did not pass out because of Kouga, She passed out because of her wounds from earlier. They have not fully healed yet and the fact that she breathed in the poisonous vapors)
Kouga walked up to the passed out hanyou. "This is way easier than I thought." He said and picked her up and headed off towards the den. Kouga did not even notice that Kagome's scent was already laced with Inuyasha's. He would have to find out the hard way. He ran even faster at the thought of finally having the mate that he had dreamed off all of his live. But his dream was someone else's nightmare.
INUYASHA
Inuyasha woke up about 15 min. after Kagome had gone outside. He closed his arms tightly around something that should have been there but was not.
"What in the seven hells is that woman doing now?" He said quietly. He really didn't want to wake the others. He walked outside the hut that Kagome and him were staying in that night. He started to walk in the direction of which her scent was most resent, but soon found that someone else had found her.
"That damn wimpy wolf won't get away with this!" He screamed, He took off running with new found speed towards the den where he knew he would find Kagome. Sad thing was that it was a three-day trip even going as fast as he was now. He would still have to stop for camp and rest and hunt to eat. Kouga would already be there at his speed.
"Kagome won't last three days without me." He said, "Even Kouga should know that! A female cannot last long without her mate, Kagome will most likely cut herself off from everyone else and refuse to eat, sleep or drink. Damn you Kouga! Of all demons you should know this!" He screamed into the light of the sun. Inuyasha ran all day until it was dark, he set up a small camp and caught some rabbits that would make a good enough dinner for himself. He than remembered the wounds that Kagome already had from the bastard Naraku.
"Of all the times to take her you ASS!" He yelled again. 'She won't make it with those wounds if she refuses to eat." He thought. He quickly ate and left his small campsite and ran off again to his mate.
SANGO, MIROKU AND SHIPPO
Sango woke up a little after Inyasha had and started a fire to cook their breakfast. She boiled some water and put the noodles into the pot that Kagome had brought to them from her time. After the ramen was done she went to wake up Miroku, and then the rest. When she went to wake up Inuyasha and Kagome she found them gone.
"Hey Miroku, do you know where Inuyasha and Kagome went?" She asked
"No."
"I know how to find them!" Shippo said. He liked the fact that he could do what they couldn't. "Follow me!" He said leading the way.
"Shippo how about we eat first and then find them, I mean they couldn't have gotten too far." Sango said but how wrong she was!
KAGOME
Kagome had just woken up to find herself in a strange den that she knew was familiar. She smelled Kouga's scent everywhere and it was making her sick!
"What did he do! Piss all over the place in here?" She asked herself. She then noticed that her hip was bandaged up again. 'I wonder who did this?" She said
"That would have been me." A voice said from the door
"Who are you?" Kagome asked
"I am Kouga's personal healer." The voice said while coming out of the doorway. An older woman appeared and walked toward Kagome. Kagome was unsure of what to do now that she was away from Inuyasha she felt a strong need to find him or he find her.
"Let me see your wound." The old healer said
"What is your name?" Kagome asked
"Miki" The woman responded "Your scent is laced with that of another's." She said, "Are you mated?"
"Yes." Kagome said
"Oh dear this is bad. We need to find your mate soon." She said leaving the room with no farther explanation
"Why is she so concerned?" Kagome said quietly
KOUGA
"SHE'S WHAT!" Kouga screamed
"Calm down prince Kouga!" Miki yelled back at him
"How in the Hell am I suppose to calm down?" He yelled back
"You need to stop thinking of yourself and of the girls welfare, if you don't find her mate soon she will refuse to eat, sleep or even drink! She will also cut herself off from everyone else. She already is sick form some sort of vapors, and her wound doesn't help much!" The healer said
"It will take Dog-Shit three days to get here. Will Kagome last that long?" He asked
"I am not sure."
"I refuse to go after him! After this I am sure he will fiercely protect Kagome more than what he is now." Kouga answered (A/N Stubborn little Shit isn't he?)
"Then we will have to see how she does tonight." Miki said while walking out the door. She knew it was pointless to fight with him. She walked back into the room that housed Kagome only to hear and smell small tears.
"Oh dear, this is bad. If she is already crying now the next two days won't be very easy on her either." She said
"Please leave me alone." Kagome said softly
"Dear we need you to eat something, would you like to eat with the other females of the clan?" Miki asked
"No."
"Alright I will leave you here. Call if you need anything." Miki said while leaving "I must talk with the other females myself." Miki said
"Oh hello, Miki." One of the females said
"Hello, Kiki. We have a slight problem on are hand. You might have heard of the female human that Kouga talks about making his mate?" She asked. She now had the attention of everyone in the room.
"Yes, He talks about her a lot." Another female said
"Well he has taken her and she is now a hanyou." Miki said
"How can that be?" Kiki said
"It turns out that she was not of age yet to show any signs of being a demon." Miki said simply
A corus of "oh's" rung out from everyone.
"She now refuses to eat or talk to anyone." Miki started again "I believe that this has happened to many of you when you mates go hunting."
"Yes, it is a horrible experience." Kiki said
"Do you know of anyway to help?" Miki asked
"I don't know. Who is her mate?"
"Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha!" Everyone yelled
"Quiet! Everyone, Inuyasha is not as bad as he seems. He is very protective of his mate, and Kouga has no right to take her from him!" She said, the room was packed with very angry growling females.
"We have a lesson to teach the young prince about mates." One female said while about 20 other followed.
KOUGA'S GONNA GET HIS ASS KICKED!
