This story is rated T. It has bits of smut, various POV's, humor and some horror. I tried to keep it in the true context and characterization of Inu Yasha and GW. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. The original stories belong to much more creative people. This was written in the spirit of fun not profit.

Outside the bone eater's well the group still argued. Kagome steadily refused to leave the area until Inu confirmed that Koga was not in her world. Inu was being just as stubborn. He wouldn't go and find out if Koga was in Kagome's world.
"Why should I help him?" Inu growled. "Why do you care so much?"
"I—I'm concerned," Kagome stammered. "Kago-kun does not interact well with humans and there are no forests nearby. He will have a hard time fitting into my world."
Kagome had purposely refrained from saying full blood youkai. She knew that Inu was sensitive about being a hanyou. He really wanted to be a full blooded too. She had mixed feelings about that. There were few full youkai that were comfortable with humans. In fact most were vicious and detested humans but she kept those thoughts to herself.
"Koga-kun," Inu sneered.
He knew Koga wasn't as strong as him but it irked him that Kagome seemed to actually like the full youkai wolf. Not only did she like him she gave him more respect and she was always protecting him.
"He should be ashamed to have a weak human woman protecting him," Inu told her. "Besides he never thanked me for helping him defeat the bird demons that were killing his pack. He never admitted that I was stronger."
Inu saw the looks passed amongst the group, none of them seemed to care, he thought annoyed. It seemed that Sango, Miroku and Shippo all had a bit of admiration for the wolf. Although Koga had never given any of them so much as a passing glance.
"Kagome, Inu Yasha is jealous and petty guy," Shippo reasoned. "It's too bad Koga isn't stronger. He would have gotten much further in a relationship by now and he is far more loyal."
Inu trembled violently over the little fox. He would have grabbed him if Kagome had not scooped the little creature up protectively.
"It seems he resents another male marking his territory," Miroku added nodding his head in agreement with Shippo.
"Inu Yasha you're being childish," Sango sighed loudly. "Besides, it was Kagome-kun who decided to help the wolf clan. You were initially there to only get the shards from the demon birds."
"Traitors," Inu hissed threateningly.
"Inu why won't you just check," Kagome continued to argue.
"For the last time, I would have smelled him," Inu said stubbornly. "His scent is not in the well. It's not here nor was it over there."
"Won't you just check?"
"No."
"I don't understand if he's not in the well and he's not in Kagome's world then where is he," Shippo asked.
As if in answer to his question a bright flash of light shot out of the well. Everyone jumped back as two figures came flying out. They were fighting and one of them was Koga.

Heero lashed out at the animal that had been attacking him with both hands. He had become separated from his friends. Heero could feel it, sense it. He could also tell that he was no longer in the well. There was the smell of grass and trees in the air.
The air. That's how he knew it. The air was moving. Heero felt a breeze upon his face. He managed to shove away his attacker only seconds before he landed into a pile of high grass. He looked up and saw the night sky above. He was definitely outside. He didn't know how he had managed to fall outside but he was. He tried to get his bearings and look around.
From what he could see, he was in a meadow surrounded by trees. The high grass was similar to the grass on his property however there was no house, shrine or shack visible. Another quick glance around showed him a thick and healthy tree line and he could see faint columns of smoke rising above the foliage. There were homes in that direction.
"Koga-kun," shouted a feminine voice.
Heero glanced in her direction. Her shout alerted him to the fact that he was not alone. From the corner of his eyes he saw something charging him. He turned in time to meet the attack. He caught his attacker by his wrist and shoulder. He twisted using his weight to throw him over his head.
The thing landed on its feet and Heero could now finally see his enemy. It was a man and it wasn't. It had a tail and pointed ears. Heero had never believed in ancient Japanese folklore but if this creature was real then he was staring at a youkai
"Koga, should we circle him?" Ginta asked.
"Just keep him from running away," Koga told him. "He's mine."
Heero saw two similar creatures flanked him on either side. They wouldn't attack until this Koga said so. That was good although the leader was bigger and more dangerous.

Inu watched this all in shock. He actually doubted that Koga had went into the well at all. He had been telling the truth when he said there was no wolf scent and he had been annoyed at Kagome's insistence and yes jealous.
Now, that wimpy wolf had showed up, out of the well none-the-less and with a strange human. Inu felt a moment of embarrassment until he sniffed the man and froze. There was power in this one.
"Kagome does he have a shard?" Inu yelled.
Inu turned to see Kagome staring at the new guy. She had a confused look on her face. He could tell that something was bothering her.
"I'm not sure," she told him. "It feels like a Shikon Jewel, not a shard but the whole thing."
Kagome stared at the handsome man Koga was fighting with. She had been unable to keep her eyes off of him and now she knew why. There was the strongest sense of the Shikon jewel she had ever felt. Yet, it was strange. It was different.
"He's strong," Shippo chirped.
"He is strong," Inu agreed. "I've never seen a human take on a full fledge youkai of Koga's level bare handed."
The group turned to see that Inu was right. Koga had yet to get in a solid hit even with those fast and furious whirlwind kicks of his. So far the human had managed to evade every blow. In fact, as they watch they saw the human land a powerful blow to the back of Koga's head. They watched him catch Koga by the wrist and throw him.
"Is he human?" Sango asked.
"He smells human," Shippo said leaning forward and sniffing the air. "Actually, he smells really good."
Kirara growled at Shippo's words. It almost sounded like an agreement. Kagome and Sango stared at the two in surprise. The cat and the fox had this hungry intent look upon the stranger.
Kagome and Sango shared at look. They couldn't smell the stranger from where they were standing and Shippo didn't sound like he meant smell in the regular sense of the word more like the fragrant smell of a barbecue.
"I'm going to take him," Shippo sqeaked.
"What?" Kagome asked surprised.
"Not before me," Inu boasted.
"Wait," Kagome yelled as Shippo leaped from her arms.
At the same time, Inu charged the stranger. He extended clawed hands and swiped at the young man. The guy dodged the strikes and jumped to the side while sticking out a foot. Inu tripped before he could check his forward momentum. Shippo threw a huge frightening face at the stranger. Heero crouched down defensively but when the face didn't attack him ignored it. He quickly realized it was nothing more than a distraction. This proved true as Shippo jumped on Heero's head.
Heero was besieged; as soon as he took care of one creature another took its place. He was surround and now sporting several good scrapes besides a hot and aching belly.
Kagome looked up and saw that they had circled the guy. He was wounded and in pain. His shirt was torn, bloody and the front of his pants was black with blood. Yet he managed to stand and faced them all with a determined look on his face.
Kagome and Sango watched Heero grabbed Shippo by the collar and toss the little fox away. Then without warning Kirara changed shape knocking Sango into Kagome, then the giant cat leaped into the fray attacking the man. In the last possible, second the guy managed to dodge the giant cat's attack. He rolled getting behind Ginta and with quick move he shoved the lesser wolf into the charging cat's path.
After shoving Ginta into Kirara he charged Inu. Kagome yelled a warning too late. The group also hadn't expect the stranger to attack one of them especially Inu. Just as Heero was about to reach Inu he jumped leaping high over him, he flew threw the air to land behind him and he then sprinted towards the village.
Stunned at the guy's strength the group stared after him for a moment. The youkai too were stunned. The group looked at Koga.
"Where did you get him from?" Kagome asked.
Koga was helping Ginta up from the ground. The smaller wolf had taken a good blow when he crashed into Kirara. Koga glanced at Kagome for only a second before tending to Ginta.
"The well," he mumbled.
The group looked at the well nervously. All of them were tempted to glanced back into it and see what else was down there. Before anyone could move Sango shouted out.
"The village," she said. "He's headed for the village."
The group gave chase. Soon they could see Heero racing to the village. He was fast for in such a short time he had gotten far ahead. Sango threw her boomerang and the guy leaped over it. He hadn't turned around he just leaped nearly three meters into the air and continued on.
"Human?" Sango asked Shippo as she came abreast of the little fox. "Is he human?"
"Who cares, I got him," Inu said brashly.
He drew Tessisega and shouted. Nothing happen—the group turned their surprised eyes to the sword. The old beat up looking sword had not changed into the fang.
"He's human," he confirmed sourly.
