DISCLAIMER:Don't own inuyasha and the gang
Love? No... that can't be right!
Chapter Three: Unwanted Visitors
Kagome slowly woke up the next morning, and jumped at the shock of somebody standing right in front of her. When she jumped, Inuyasha woke up and automatically grabbed tetseiga(sp?) and jumped to his feet, leaving Kagome sitting on the ground.
"Aww, how sweet Inuyasha, you and your miko friend sleeping together. You really should be more careful you know. This girl does still possess nearly half of the Shikon no Tama."
"Who the fuck are you and how do you know me?" Inuyasha screamed at the figure standing in front of him. He still couldn't see him very well, it was still very early in the morning and was still dark.
"That is none of your concern you half breed, Naraku sent me to kill you and take what is left of the Shikon no Tama." Inuyasha recognized the man's voice, but couldn't place it. It wasn't another one of Naraku's incarnations, he could tell. He couldn't smell Naraku on him. This wasn't even another demon.
"Look, I don't know who the fuck you are, but you better get the hell away from us right now if you want to live!"
"INUYASHA! He has shards! I can sense them! He has around 9 of them in him." Inuyasha looked at Kagome, nodded, and then looked back at the mysterious man.
"Kagome, get back" He said as he pulled out Tetseiga. Kagome nodded and ran back for safety, but grabbed her bow just incase.
"What do you want with us?"
"I've told you already. I want you dead and I want the Shikon no Tama. I'll even let your miko live, if you don't put up too much of a fight." With that, he grabbed out his own sword. It was long, longer than Inuyasha's, and also transformed like Inuyasha's did. It had a large spider engraved in it. Obviously it was Naraku's.
Inuyasha just started to laugh at this man's stupidity for joining forces with Naraku.(A/N: Not laugh, but you know that thing Inuyasha does when he's about to battle)
"What the hell are you laughing at dog boy?" The man was angry. He was Insulted. Lets see what you can really do halfbreed
He swung his sword at Inuyasha, but Inuyasha dodged it, and pulled out Tetseiga and it transformed as well. "KAZE NO KIZU" He swung it at the man, but barely gashed the side of his right leg. The man just stood there for a minute to let it soak in what just happened. This halfbreed must be a little more powerful than Naraku thinks. I guess I don't need to go so easy on him then. He swung at Inuyasha again, but this time, he didn't miss. He slashed Inuyasha across the stomache, leaving him unconcious. The man thought that he was dead, and walked toward Kagome.
Kagome grabbed one of her arrows and aimed it directly for the man's heart. She shot the arrow and he fell to the ground. He just looked at her, pain in his eyes. "I'm sorry. It wasn't me. It was him. I'm sorry" and he fell to the ground.
Kagome didn't know what to do. She ran to the man. She felt bad for him. She thought that he deserved a proper buriel. She stood in front of him and kneeled down, and realized that he was still breathing. He opened his eyes and said "Hello Bitch" and grabbed the necklace with the jewel on it off her neck, and took of running."Its too bad I have to do this to you, you really are pretty" She instintively took off running after the man. She wasn't as fast as him though. Then she sensed it, Kouga was near.
"Kouga! Help me!"
Kagome? what is she doing here. I thought i sensed her, but i thought it was just me. She needs help. Maybe she's finally given up on dogshit. Finally, maybe she'll take me in as her mate and never want to see inuyasha again. maybe she'll want .. wait ... SHE NEEDS HELP! "I'm coming Kagome!" He ran up to where she was, and grabbed her hand. "Kagome, what is it you need help with my dear?"
"Kouga" she panted from running so hard. "he... that man... took... the ...jew...el... help " OH, i'm so helpless! " please kouga, for me?"
"Anything for you" and he took off running following the scent of the unknown man. Finally he caught up with him and tackled him. "Where is it? Where's the jewel?"
"I don't know what your talking about. Get off me"
"Listen. You had best give me that jewel right now, Or I'm going to have to beat it out of you"
"No" Kouga didn't wait to hear more. He just used his claws to slash the man in the face. Killing him, for real this time. he searched the man for the jewel and took it from him. Then he ran back to Kagome to give it back to her.
"Kagome! here. Here's your jewel back." Kagome was so pleased to see that Kouga had helped her that she embraced him in a short hug. Just a friendly one, no meaning beyond 'thank you'. Kouga looked VERY pleased. "Um, Kagome, if you don't mind me asking, where's dogshit?"
Kagome gasped, she had forgotten all about inuyasha, she turned around to take off running to find him, but it was already too late. He had jumped out of the tree behind Kouga and landed right in front of Kagome. "Inuyasha! are you okay? How's your stomache?"
"Keh. Like you fucking care, you're too busy hangin all over this shitty wolf. Why don't you just go with him, huh?" Kagome was shocked. that hurt, Inuyasha.
"Yeah, Kagome, come with me!" Kouga's face lit up. "I'll never let anything harm you, unlike mutt-face, here"
"What! You think I intentionally let that thing attack Kagome?"
"I didn't say that. What I meant was that I am ABLE to protect her, unlike you"
"Why you mangy wolf..." Inuyasha drew out Tetseiga and was about to attack him, until...
"WAIT! God, why do ya'll have to do this EVERY time ya'll get near eachother? Inuyasha, i was NOT all over him. I was merely giving him a "thank you" hug. Thats it, I swear. And kouga, I'm not leaving with you. End of story. I have to stay with Inuyasha and help him gather the shards" I wouldn't leave Inuyasha anyway.
"Keh, you weren't all over him my ass. Whatever, lets go Kagome" Kouga just gave Kagome one last hug. a "goodbye" hug is what he called it.
"You are a truly a wonderful woman, Kagome. I understand that you only want to be with mutt face here to honor your promise of gathering the shards. But once you have lived up to that promise, I will make you my mate. you are still, and will always remain as My Woman"
"I'm not your freaking woman, Kouga. Now leave, before I let Inuyasha do what he wants with you" Kouga was hurt by the anger in her voice, but didn't let her know that. He just took off running back to what he was doing before.
---On the way home---
"Inuyasha, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to---"
"keh. Just shuddup and keep walking. We have a long ways to go"
"Can I at least look at your wound?"
"No"
"Inuyasha, please? It might be infected. Naraku made that sword, I could tell. You never know what kind of poison he could have put on it"
"Fine, I'll let Kaede look at it when we get back. She'd know what to do with it better than you would anyway"
"Inuyasha, please. I told you I was sorry."
"I said no. end of story. Dropit." Why won't i just let her look at it. Its not like I don't trust her. I trust her with everything I have. God, I trust her with my life. Just quit being such a baka and let her look at it. Kagome started to cry. She really was hurt by what Inuyasha said.
"I think I'm going to go back home, when we get to the village, Inuyasha"
"Why?"
"I ... I want to see my mom. She was still working when i left, and i didn't really get to see her for my birthday. She said she was going to throw me a party today."
"Oh. So this has nothing to do with the fact that your pissed right now?" Kagome just turned and looked at him and stomped off ahead. did i say something? I just wanted to make sure that she wasn't going home because of me. But now, she probably is, and if I can't learn to watch what I say, she might not come back. Damnit."Kagome, I didn't mean to.. God, quit being a bitch and listen would ya?"
"Sit!" Kagome just kept walking ahead. They were close to the village and she knew her way back.
"Dammit Kagome!" She's gonna be sorry she ever did that. I'll make her pay. but how...
REVIEWS!!!!
does first review dance well written!
-Tigercatcher
Thank you so much!!!! I'm trying!!!
................................
I love your fanfic so far! But I think you made Inuyasha a little too sappy. Even towards
Kagome he isn't that sweet. But other than that, it's a great piece of writing!
Actually... I noticed that too. He was being very nice to her because it was her birthday.
He was trying not to get her to mad, because... well...just because. He won't be like that later
on in the fic. Trust me! Oh, and THANK YOU!
Thanks to all of you that reviewed! I'm not exactly happy with this chapter. I don't know why, but i think that there's something wrong with it, please let me know what you think! Criticism is welcome as well, I'm new and not too great at this. Especially when it comes to fighting scenes, I'm not too good at writing action type things. Oh well, I tried. lol, Please please please Review!
