Inuyasha: We're back!!!
Me: Thanks, Inuyasha.
Inuyasha: You're thanking me? You deserve a hug.
Inuyasha gets up and walks over to me and kneels down and hugs me.
Me: Thanks.(said in a daze like voice)
Inuyasha: You look all sparkly.
Me: Thanks.
Kouga: HEY!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY WOMAN?
Me: Shh. The story is about to start!
Chapter 9
Akira and Her Island
"Who are they?" I growled at her feeling my wolf-like instincts arise in my blood.
" Friends. Lovers." she said grinning, as the two shadows emerged from the darkness. They were two handsome men.
" My lovers are here too." I said blindly and looked at the others who were all looking at me funny.
" Yeah. Us." I heard Inuyasha speak. He was always there to support me when I needed him to.
"Yeah." was the reply of Sesshomaru.
"Oh, yeah. Although I am alpha male of the group." Kouga added in.
"Really? With a simple human girl?" she smirked at me. I suddenly heard a soft growling. I realized I was the one growling.
"I am actually a priestess." I growled, smirking back at her.
"Oh, how interesting." she was beginning to anger me. I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my waist and I knew it was Kouga. He was growling under his breath and he was letting his tail enamor me, as to keep me from getting angry.
"Well, you are welcome here. I must take my leave and I will speak with you as soon as I can." she said, looking harshly at me. She turned to leave, but hesitated.
" Oh, yes. I will leave Keiba here with you. He will ensure you get to my castle on time." she said looking at a black haired man. He nodded and spoke.
" I will be in your service." he said. I grimaced at the thought of having another man there.
" Fine, but if he even touches my Kagome, he will be dead." Kouga growled to Akira.
" Fine, you mutt." She said and I heard Kouga growl loudly.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MUTT?!" I heard both Kouga and Inuyasha scream at her. I saw them grin at each other.
" Oh, very sorry. I didn't know you would be offended. Being with that girl. It makes you less than a wolf and less than a dog." she smirked again.
" Oh, yeah? Well, you egotistical, snot nosed, little brat, I am loved by many and hated by few. Don't screw with me, you.....you.......witch." I said, blindly in defense of my two favorite men.
" Oh, really ? Fine." she said, looking shocked.
" Good, leave." I said determinedly.
As she left I turned around to see a shocked look on the faces of all of my "men". I now had to say they were mine and this time I really had to act the part of lover to all of them. With Keiba here, life would be different, even if just for a few hours or days. I ran over to where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stood.
"Hey, you guys know you have to act lovey-dovey around me, right?" I whispered to them. They nodded and I skipped over to where Kouga stood looking at Keiba with mean eyes. His eyes softened when he saw me approaching him.
" Hey, baby." he cooed to me.
" Hey, honey." I cooed back to him.
" What are we going to eat?" he said taking me in his arms, bridle style.
" I don't know, babe." I said, looking at Keiba. I saw him look at me, so I turned quickly away to look at Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
" What?" I heard a voice call to me. When I looked up I saw Keiba looking at me determinedly.
" Nothing. Geez" I said and I suddenly felt Kouga put me down. I grabbed him by the shoulder and spin him around to look at me. I kissed him on the lips and as I hoped he kissed me back. He picked me back up and took me back to the camp.
I knew everyone was going to be on the defensive with Keiba here. What I didn't know that I was about to relive one of my worst memories.
" Hey. Don't you want something to eat?" I said to Keiba. I thought that as long as he was here I could at least try to be nice to him.
" Sure. Meet me in the forest." he said quietly.
"Okay." I said and saw Inuyasha's ears perk up and he whispered something to Kouga. I saw Kouga growling and I motioned to them I would be fine.
A few minutes later I was in the forest waiting for Keiba to pop out or to sneak up behind me. Sure enough I felt someone come up behind me. When I turned around Keiba was about ten inches from me. I pushed away from him, but he grabbed my arms and shoved me to the ground. When I fell and I screamed for help. Keiba was on top of me and was kissing me and trying to unbutton my new shirt. I screamed and felt his body thrown off of mine.
" Kouga!! Please, come here." I screamed at him. At once Kouga was by my side and he held me in his arms as I cried to him and told him what had just happened. He cooed to me and picked me up and carried me back to the camp. Later that day, Keiba came stumbling back into the camp. He was bruised and bleeding from head to toe. I felt a wave of compassion sweep over me. I ran to him and smiled sadly at him. He looked at me with sad eyes.
" Why? Why...." he winced, " Are you doing this for me? Why are you helping me? After what I did to you." I grinned at him slightly. I had the first aid kit in my lap and I just sighed.
" Because I know that all people have good in them and they never really mean anything they do or say." I said, beginning to bandage him up.
" Yeah, I guess you are right." he said.
" Yeah, of course I am!" I said joyfully. I soon finished bandaging him up and as I got up to walk away, Keiba grabbed my arm. I saw the others get up, but I motioned for them to sit back down.
" What is it? What do you need?" I questioned him, hoping he wouldn't try and hurt me.
" Thanks." he said to me and let go of my arm.
I walked away and put the first aid kit up. Once I had put it away, I looked around at the camp and its' somewhat bored looking members. I shook my head and laughed, causing everyone to look at me.
" Huh? What's so funny?" Inuyasha asked morosely.
" I don't know. I just felt like laughing. But then again, I know what's so funny." I said still trying to control my giggles.
" What?" Sesshomaru asked.
" Just looking at you guys," I began to explain, " Makes me laugh."
" Oh, okay." Kouga said simply.
" Oh, don't be so sad. You guys are usually all full of spunk and have a happy attitude. What's wrong with you guys?" I asked, looking at each of their faces.
" We just want to go home." Inuyasha spoke with a slight annoyance in his voice.
" Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to annoy you. I want to go home, too. I am going to go for a walk. No one better follow me or I will be super mad!" I said as I began walking towards the forest. Suddenly Kouga was by my side.
" Be safe. If you need us, scream. We will hear you." he whispered in my ear and then he kissed me on my cheek. I giggled and nodded to him.
" See you later." I yelled to the group and they waved at me.
Soon I was in the forest and I was encountered by shadows. At first I was going to scream but I then realized who the shadows were. I couldn't believe my eyes, cause the people standing there were......
Inuyasha: Another cliff hanger.
