Chapter 8: Trailer Trash.
Inuyasha shut the front door behind him and locked it. He turned around and began walking down the dirt road, when he was surrounded by 4 wolf youkai
"What the hell do you want Kouga?" Inuyasha asked calmly. The wolf Demon just glared at him.
"What brings you to the park?" Inuyasha asked, while keeping his cool after Kouga didn't answer his first question.
"I wanted you to be aware of whose woman you're flirting with." He said growling. Inuyasha gave him a puzzled look.
"I have no idea what the fuck you're talkin bout wolf." He said as he tried to push by them but they just shoved him back.
"Could you tell you're goons to get out of my way?!" Inuyasha said getting tired of these antics.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about you slime, stop hanging around My woman!"
"Who the fuck is you're woman?" Inuyasha yelled.
"Why, that beautiful new girl of course!"
"Well, first of all, I don't like her. So you can have her 2nd, Who are you to be tellin' me what to do, and 3rd, people aren't just things you can claim Jack Ass. "
"Just stay away from her Inu- washa, she's Mine." As Kouga said this he punched Inuyasha hard in the stomach making him gasp for air.
"Trailer Trash dog." Kouga said as he began to walk off with the rest of his Pack.
"You're just scared to fight me like a man you little wolf shit!" Inuyasha yelled after him, Kouga and his gang turned around, Kouga smirked.
"No, I thought I would just live out you're miserable life, plus I wouldn't want you're worthless human Mother to have something else to cry about, the death of her son…would she cry? Or would she be happy to get rid of a mistake like you?" Kouga asked.
That was it…that set Inuyasha off, no one, I mean, NO ONE called his Mother worthless, no matter what.
He lunged at Kouga and the fight began, it ended with both boys limping off in different directions, calling it a draw. Of course, Inuyasha considered it a victory, since he had to fight 4 to one… Inuyasha finally made it to school, he hadn't gone to check the damage before he came, so he had no idea how ruffed up he looked. After getting a pass He walked up to the 3rd floor and walked into his classroom. He handed the yellow slip of paper to the teacher who just gawked at him. He took his regular seat next to Miroku, who stared like everyone else in the room.
"What happened to you?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked, almost forgetting his fight with the wolf. Just then Kouga walked into the classroom, looking equally ruffed up.
He went and took his seat directly behind Inuyasha. There were no more questions. Everyone knew what had happened, well at least that Inuyasha and Kouga got in ANOTHER fight. The only person who didn't know, was Kagome, and she always did hate feeling left out…
"Inuyasha, what happened to you?"
"Huh?" Inuyasha wasn't used to people not knowing his reputation of getting into fights with certain people…
"I asked what happened to you?"
"Mind your own business wench."
"Stop talking to MY woman, you piece of dog shit." Kouga hissed in his ear, Kagome didn't hear, the only person who heard it was Inuyasha, who got out of his seat and picked up the wolf youkai by the collar of his shirt.
"You ready for round 2 you dumb ass wolf?!"
"You think you can take me, dog shit?!"
"I took you and you're pack, or did I give you amnesia from my fist pounding you're skull?!"
Inuyasha let go of his collar pushing him back into a desk and got into fighting stance, Kouga did the same, and the teacher continued on with the lesson as if nothing was going on.
Kagome sweat dropped.
"Isn't she going to do something?" Kagome asked Sango motioning to the teacher. Sango shrugged,
"She never does…just acts like it's not happening…"
"You mean this happens often?" Kagome asked dryly.
"Yea, I'd say at least 2 times a week…" Sango said with a sigh.
"Well, that's going to stop." Kagome said, before Sango could stop her, she had gone up to both boys and put her arms between them, pushing them away from each other.
"What are you doing wench?!" Inuyasha asked, putting down his fists.
"You guys need to really watch you're tempers, is this how you got beat up in the first place? Shameful." She said shaking her head. Inuyasha growled.
"Stop growling at My woman you Trailer Trash Dog!" Kagome gasped at this, one that this wolf that she didn't even know was calling her his, and that He had the nerve to call someone that. She slapped Kouga straight across his face.
"How dare you! I'm not you're woman!"
"Ooh, I like my Women feisty!"
Before Kagome could comment, Inuyasha punched Kouga straight in the nose.
"I told you Kouga! People aren't things you can claim! So stop calling her you're woman!"
"Is this what you're whole fight has been about, whether or not I'm his woman?" Kagome asked a little shocked, she couldn't believe Inuyasha was just standing up for her like that.
"No, sorry to burst you're bubble, but not everything is about you." Inuyasha said, as Kouga got up and charged at Inuyasha slamming him into a wall. Kagome backed up from the fighting boys. She scowled and again tried to push the two apart, and not wanting to hit her, they both stopped throwing punches.
"Ok, I don't know what this is about, but, someone's gunna tell me, and NOW!" Both Kouga and Inuyasha backed off a bit at how mad she was.
"Ok, first of all, what is you're name?" She asked motioning to the wolf.
"I'm Kouga, I can't understand why my own woman doesn't know my name though…" he said slowly. Kagome looked blank. "I am not you're woman." She said dryly, she then turned to Inuyasha.
"All right, you go first, why did you and lover boy get into a fight?"
"Why should I tell you wench? It's none of YOUR business." He said crossing his arms over his chest. No one in the entire room was listening to the teacher anymore, they were all intent on hearing this plot unfold.
"Fine." She said turning away from him and to Kouga, she plastered a fakey smile on her face, which Kouga believed to be genuine…
"Kouga, why did you and Inuyasha get into a fight?"
"More like why did he attack me…" Inuyasha mumbled. Kagome glared at him.
"You missed you're turn to speak, now sit!" She said this and Inuyasha growled at her.
"Do I LOOK like a Puppy to you?" He yelled. Then Kouga put himself between Inuyasha and Kagome.
"I told you DOG, don't growl at my woman! And don't yell at her either, you don't have the right to do any such things…" He spat at Inuyasha, hitting him in the cheek, and then continued on "…you worthless half demon DOG!" Inuyasha's fists shook with rage. He reached up and wiped the lugi from his cheek and looked up at Kouga, flames of hatred danced in his eyes.
"D-Don't ever, ever say that to me, you, bastard!" Inuyasha couldn't help but stumble over his words.
What Kouga had said, really hurt him, deep down inside, it hurt. But he pushed it away, to the back of his mind, where it stayed. Where it curled up into a little boy and cried his eyes out. Like Inuyasha wanted to do, but he wouldn't he hadn't ever cried, not even on that day…
'now is not the time to dwell on the past! Focus focus focus…' he thought to himself.
"Kagome, move…now." Inuyasha said slowly and quietly. Kagome, shocked at Kouga, distanced herself from them. Then Inuyasha lunged. But, a carefully placed side step, and Inuyasha ran into a desk, causing him to gasp at the sudden loss of air. Kouga went over to Kagome and hugged her. Inuyasha growled.
'wait, what am I doing? Why do I care if he hugs her?'
{Because you like her} his sub-conscience said in a clear unfaltering voice, that rung through his head.
'I do not! It's just that, he shouldn't be claiming her for his, she's a person, not a thing!' he argued back
{What ever makes you happy, but I know that you have feelings for her.}
'I just met her!'
{What ever you say chief, you're the boss}
'damn right I am!'
{Here we go again with that ego of yours…}
'just shut the hell up!' he yelled mentally and then he took a sock and stuffed it in the voices mouth.
Kouga let go of her, and before Inuyasha could strike again, the bell rang.
