Kouga came one step forward. A menacing growl emitted from his throat. "Where the hell is my woman" he snarled. He changed his stance. Getting ready to attack.
Shit...What do I tell this guy? 'Hey I'm not really a man! I DON'T WANT your woman. Trust me!' Inari thought frantically. She took up a fighting stance. If this came to blows. she knew she would not survive... unless...
"your woman? I don't know what woman your talking about! Obviously if you can't keep your females... it's no business of mine! I really don't think you should be advertising that fact. Do you?" Inari shouted in a low-man like voice.
"Shut up you little shit!" Kouga snapped back. "I'll ask you one more time... before I rip your head off. Where is Kagome?"
Inari made a mock laughing sound deep in her throat. She could see Hiten moving behind Kouga ' I taught him everything he knows' she quipped in her mind. As long as she could keep him distracted...
"Tell you what runt."Kouga said "You are pretty brave to face me. You give me back Kagome and I'll let you join my wolf clan" He sneered at Inari. He launched his blow.
Immense power came from his punch. It hit it's mark in Inari's stomach. She gasped for breath and felt as if her skin was on fire. The pain seared into her brain. 'I'm gonna die from one punch?' the question was asked dimly in her brain." Fuck no!" She shouted out loud. This startled Kouga. He threw a kick. It smashed into Inari's face with brutal force.
'Way to go dumbass!' she said to herself. Inari saw his next attack 'Hetiman, hetin, heptrie whatever your name is move your ass!'. she coiled up her muscles. She was determined to get one blow in on this guy. Inari felt as if she were leaving her body. A strange light blurred her vision. And a power whirled within her. She made a tight fist... and punched Kouga square in the face. Kouga stumbled and fell back. Inari had knocked him out.
"Take that...asshole...cough" she mumbled. Hetin came closer.
"Don't be so weak next time! Honestly what took you so long to take care of this mutt?" he began shouting. Then Inari pitched forward into his arms. "Shit" Hetin said. "Now I have to carry your ass".
Hitens Cave
Darkness...It was nice in the darkness. But when the light came... there was pain. Inari woke in stages. She felt terrible every muscle in her body throbbed in pain. She cracked pen her eyes a little. 'Cave?' was all she could think of before she slipped back into the darkness.
A wolf demon named Kijakmaru was watching over this strange brother wolf. No one seemed to recognize him, but some where sure that he looked familiar. There had been allot of wolves joining Hitens pack lately. This brother could just be new. Hiten had brought him in only a few minutes ago. Kijakmaru had been ordered to care for him. Hetin had told of the young wolf's bravery, and how he had defeated Kouga in one punch.
Kihakmaru began to take off the shirt , now covered in blood, to dress the wound. When it was about 1/4 of the way down... he noticed something rather odd. A binding was already over much of the upper torso. He pealed back the rest of the shirt. 'Perhaps he was bandaged from a previous fight?' something was not right here. Kijakmaru was about to take off the binding when The little "brother" stirred. 'I have to bandage the open wound before he wakes. I will ask about the bindings later" So Kijakmaru set to work. However, he made sure to mention it to Hetin afterward.
Cassiel
Cassiel awoke with a start. "What a terrible dream" she whispered in fear "Please don't let this one come true like the others!" She trembled ... looking around she did not see anyone. Where was Kouga? they were fighting and he...had knocked her out. oh No Inari!
rustle rustle Cassiel growled..."Cassiel? Inari? Kouga? ANYBODY?" It was kagome. She looked very upset. She rushed to Cassiels side. "What's wrong? What happened? Where's Inari? Where's kou-" She was rushing her questions until Cassiel cut her off.
"In order: Nothing. I got knocked out, Kouga went after Inari. Don't know. Don't care." She snapped.
"Well I do!" Kagome cried "Kouga is my mate after all"
"Piss poor choice" Cassiel mumbled
"What?" kagome screeched
"I said PISS POOR CHOICE... what did I stutter?" Cassiel jumped up and started looking for Inari or Kouga.
They searched for about an hour, until they came upon the sleeping body of Kouga. With one hell of a fist imprint on his face. Cassiel kicked him. Kouga blinked open his eyes.
"Kagome! My love!" he cried with joy and rushed to her. "Did that bastard hurt you?" He demanded
"Bastard? You mean Inari?" she said confused.
"So that's his name?" Kouga growled
"He? Not sh-" Kagome was interrupted by an elbow in the ribs from Cassiel and a single warning Glance.
"Yes" Cassiel replied coolly. "That is HIS name. Now where is he?"
"Probably taken back by Hetin... I know I smelled his stench" Kouga snarled and rubbed his sore face.
"Hey? Whats wrong with you guys? you just got all pale." Kouga sounded worried.
Cassiel licked her lips and in a small voice said "We've got a problem"
