Yay! I was able to update today (Tuesday) because my English teacher is a saint. That baka (stupid) English research paper isn't due till next week now. She said nobody in the class knew how to use commas in their rough drafts (Ha! I didn't do one!), and that she wants to work on it before we do a really big assignment. So, I'm here whether you want me to be or not! Ha! Bet you I can get you pissed off if I just write an author's note right now… But I'm nice so I'll write you a new chapter! All must bow down to me and say 'hail jenny!', kind of like the monks do in Monty Python (Disclaimer: I don't own Monty Python). A lot of my friends and me are going to do a movie of Monty Python and I want to be the Witch, who I absolutely would almost be good at if I had an aura of evilness instead of an aura of 'I love God'-ness. My friends say I'm destined to be a nun when I grow up, but I don't want to be one. That would totally suck (if you're thinking about what I am). Uh Oh! Mind in the gutter again! Oops!

Review of chapter 2: (What would we ever do w/o reviews? O.M.G., They're like, vital to life!)

"INU-YASHA!' screamed Kagome. Help me! She had been valiantly struggling against

Kouga all the while. It was a wonder she had held up for so long.

'That's right, my love, the hunt will be better of you struggle all the way

through to the end."

Chapter 3

Oh my Gosh! I'm going to die! I can't die! I haven't even gotten into high school!

What about the Shikon No Tama and Inuyasha? And Shippou will die from severe blows

to the skull if I don't keep Inuyasha from whacking him!

Suddenly, Kagome got mad and totally pissed.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'TO THE END'? I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO TH…",

suddenly Kagome's words were cut short because Kouga had roughly shut her up by

kissing her disgustingly, harshly and cruelly on the lips. After about 5 seconds, which felt

like hours of hell to Kagome, Kouga stopped the kiss abruptly with a look of shocked

horror, pain and disbelief on his face. He had Tessaiga slicing through his chest. The wound

was gushing blood and the sticky red substance was pooling on the ground as well as

getting on Kagome's school clothes. "Inuyasha!" she whispered hoarsely… trying not to

faint. It didn't work, and she ended up stumbling into Inuyasha's arms that held her tight

and close to his, wonderfully still beating, heart. He was angry with himself for not having

gotten there sooner to stop Kouga from even touching her. He hated the thought of anyone

doing that to her. Suddenly, he could smell her salty tears and hear her poodle-like

hiccups popping out of her mouth from trying to stifle her sobs.

A/N: My family/friends alwasy tease me about how funny I sound when I hiccup or sneeze so I decided to put that in here...

Kouga was on the dampened straggly grass turf a little ways away slowly letting out his

last gust of breath. "You haven't… gotten…away with…. this..." He pushed the

words out of his bloody mouth. "My pack … will come… after, you…." With that last

epitaph of gloom and doom, he passed on into the realm of the dead and dead alike.

Inuyasha was still hugging Kagome to his chest, away from the viewpoint of the dead body of Kouga. He didn't want her to go through any more pain than she was already feeling. Suddenly, he sniffed the air. Something was missing from the usual scent of the area… What was it? Hmmm… He'd figure it out later when everything was more normal. His runt of a sibling had disappeared so suddenly and mysteriously, so he had been able to get to Kagome. She was now stirring in his arms and started to gulp and sniff down the tears and screams that wanted to come tearing out of her throat.

"Where is Shippou?" she asked hoarsely. "Huh?" asked Inuyasha. He wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying because he couldn't get the warmth of her body, and the smell of her scent of lavender and jasmine off of his mind and, well, um, some other unmentionable part of his anatomy.

"I asked where Shippou was," she answered. "Where is he? He wouldn't have run off… well, maybe he would've if he had been in danger…

As she was pondering the all important question of the whereabouts of Shippou, Inuyasha had his mind, and something else, on other matters. Sons of Bastards! He thought to his mind. Since when have I become a pervert? Not since, well, Kikyo, but she was always the one who had started something, and Kagome had only hugged him. But it is a tight hug though, he excused himself.

"Inuyasha, where's Shippou?" she squeaked again from her still raspy throat. Don't know, don't care was what was crossing Inuyasha's mind at the moment, but he didn't want to 'sit' again (hah!). He was about to reply his usual 'feh' or 'keh' when he saw Shippou's top-spinner's spread along a couple of stumps from trees that had been slashed during the fight. Damn, he thought, I bet Sessho-maru took him!

O.K., so I'm evil, and I'm going to end the chapter here because it's 11:23 and I'm super tired. G'night! Plus I kinda didn't do my math (yeah, you guessed it, I'm a procrastinator, and I hate math with a passion). Farewell and review my beautiful readers! For you are all beautiful in my eyeballs that are rather blind which is why I wear contacts. Hey, scenario for you… If there was a girl at your school who everybody hated, and they made fun of her all the time, would you stick up for her if you saw it happen? Well, today, this stupid guy who's in my 10th grade class smacks her butt in the hallway after schools over, and I KNOW it's not because he likes her. Would you help her out? Send word please! Thanks… Love you all lots and bunches!
