Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, do not own Inuyasha. However, one day I will become the greatest manga artist in the world and be filthy rich (pssht, yeah right, maybe in my dreams)!
Chapter Two
"Inuyasha!" Kagome rushed out to where Inuyasha sat in his tree.
"What do you want now?" He responded looking down at her tiredly.
Kagome placed her hands on her hips and turned around. "Fine, I guess I won't tell you where I sense the jewel!"
Inuyasha jumped out of the tree beside her. "No, no. I'm sorry, where is it!"
Kagome turned back around so she could face him and replied, "It's that way." She pointed west.
"Okay, let's go then." Inuyasha motioned for her to get on his back but Kagome hesitated.
"Shouldn't we go get the others?"
"No, I can handle it." Inuyasha once again
"But…"
"Just hurry up and get on my back, " he said motioning for her to get on.
Kagome hesitated, but climbed on and Inuyasha sped off in the direction Kagome pointed to.
A few minutes later the hit a clearing in the forest they had been traveling through and Inuyasha stopped.
"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as he let her down gently off of his back. He looked around suspiciously and snarled at nothing in particular. "I smell wolf," he said gripping the hilt of the Tetsusaiga in his right hand.
Sure enough, Kouga appeared only moments later in a gust of wind.
"Kouga." Inuyasha snarled and drew the Tetsusaiga. "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to claim what's mine of course." He motioned toward Kagome with his right hand keeping is left hidden behind his back.
"What makes you think you'll succeed this time after all the times you've failed?"
"This." Bringing his left hand out from behind his back, he revealed the almost complete shikon jewel. Inuyasha looked disbelievingly at him and Kagome gasped.
Kouga started to laugh and then glowered at Inuyasha. "Hand over Kagome now and you won't get hurt. Too badly, that is." He broke out in maniacal laughter as he awaited Inuyasha's decision.
"Never." Inuyasha held Tetsusaiga pointed at Kouga as it transformed.
Kagome grabbed his arm. "Inuyasha, be careful."
Inuyasha looked at her and gave a faint smile. "Don't worry about me. I'm not gonna let him take you.'
Kagome backed off. She was surprised at his concern and the fact that he had smiled at her like that.
'What was that all about? He's been acting so strange lately…'
"How did you get that?" Inuyasha demanded as he turned his attention away from Kagome.
"It's simple. Naraku gave it to me when I promised I'd kill you."
"Why? I thought you hated Naraku! He killed your comrades," Kagome cut in from behind Inuyasha.
"Because I hate mutt-face over here even more. Besides now that I have the jewel, I can kill Naraku with it after he's dead. Then, there will be nothing stopping you and me from being together!"
Well, I think that this is kinda stupid, but I started it so, by George, I will finish it!
Your comments, or questions, or criticism, or even just you taking the time to tell me how crappy this story is, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Cya!
