AN: Yes yes, I'm FINALLY updating! Sorry for everyone who I kept waiting...Just bad writers block with this story...Ok then here it is.
Chapter 5
Spite
Inuyasha POV
Damn him!
As I ran through the thick forest in which Kagome and I had traveled in, hot surges of anger flashed through my mind. Kouga...Damn him... How dare he kidnap Kagome! That bastard!
The trees were a green blur as I swiftly made my way to the entrance of the forest. His scent was still lingering in the area surrounding the clearing so I knew he couldn't have gotten far.
As I skidded to a halt outside the edge of the trees I took in the large grass field, the oak tree where Kagome and I had set up our picnic, and then starred straight at the direction of the cave I had spotted earlier.
That had to be it...His smell is strongest that way. I turned and ran as fast as I could toward the mouth of the cave. If Kagome was hurt...Kouga was going to pay...
I soon reached the entrance to the cave and stopped outside it. I could smell Kouga...stale scents of his other clan mates...and fear. That had to have been Kagome! I narrowed my eyes as I slowly walked into the cave. The cold stone floor was a relief on my tired feet, and the cave was dimly lit with small torches around the areas.
To the left of me was a doorway that lead into another room much like the first, and once I stepped through there I saw another doorway except with vines covering the entrance.
I pushed through the small vines and looked around the smaller room I was now in. As I examined the room I heard distant talking. I slowly approached one of the doorways and pressed myself against a wall next to it...As I listened I soon recognized the voice...Kouga!
After Kouga spoke I heard Kagome's small, scared voice speak. She was frightened beyond belief...I had to do something!
I stepped fully into the room to find Kagome on the floor, and Kouga leaning over her. I narrowed my eyes and growled at Kouga as he stood up. He smirked, "So pup, finally get here huh?"
"Your damn right! Now if I were you I'd get my ass out of here before I..." As I spoke I pulled out Tetsusaiga and pointed it threateningly at Kouga.
Kagome POV
Inuyasha is here! Thank the gods!
I looked between him and Kouga. Oh no, I really hope they don't fight... It would be just plain stupid since this is Kouga's territory... He would have the advantage...
"Inuyasha! Don't be stupid, think, please..." I cried out. My strength had been slowly returning to me, I could now find the power to carefully stand up and balance myself by grasping on the cold stone wall behind me.
I gave Inuyasha a pleading look, and he slowly started to put Tetsusaiga down. I sighed with relief and slowly made my way to stand beside Inuyasha. He reached out with his free hand and allowed me to balance myself on his arm.
Kouga narrowed his eyes, "What is this? Pathetic puppy love? No matter...Kagome step aside." He formed a fist with his right hand and stepped forward, but I stepped in front of him. "No Kouga. No. Go away, don't do this." I spread out my arms so he could not get to Inuyasha, and Inuyasha could not get to him.
"Why wouldn't I Kagome? You are my mate, I love you." Kouga had stopped and was giving me an angered look. "I am not your mate Kouga. I don't love you, I do not know why it is you seem to love me, but it doesn't work." I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms, "Go find someone that loves you, because...I don't love you, or like you, nor would I ever want to be your mate..." ...Wow...that...wasn't completely me...
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Inuyasha smirk and sheath Tetsusaiga. I had obviously pleased him...
Kouga shook his head slightly and starred at me with wide eyes, I think I might have shocked him senseless... Maybe that was a little bit over the top but...Oh well too late now... I decided that Kouga wasn't much trouble right now, so I turned and smiled at Inuyasha.
"I think we can go now...He's a little dumb founded..." Inuyasha smirked and nodded. Then he turned so his back was facing me and I jumped on as placed my arms on his shoulders as he wrapped his fingers securely around my ankles.
Then he ran through the rooms of the cave, and out of the entrance without a glance back. It seemed I really had struck Kouga hard because he didn't come after us...and neither did any of his lackeys...
I smiled and rested my head on Inuyasha's shoulder as the oak tree came into view...Today was an interesting day at that...and I'm guessing many more of them are to come...But one thing is for certain...I'll always have Inuyasha as my savior...Always and forever...
AN: Ok I FINALLY put it up! HAPPY! I'm not positive but I think this might be the last chapter of this story...DON'T KILL ME! BECAUSE...yes there is a because. I'm 95 most probably going to have a...SEQUEL! Yup...ok so hope you liked Always, I had fun with it. Later...and here's to you loyal people out there. And to the new sequel...Love ya!
