Chapter 5:
It was about 6:00 at night and Kagome sat on her bed in deep thought. The sweet-talking demon she knew as Kouga was after her for only her body. She thought about what Inuyasha said to Kouga and her mind whirled around and went off into a tangent. All Inuyasha said was true. Kouga took a big risk, and in the end, it turned out he made a bad decision to take her to his cave. But what was even more ironic, was that Kouga didn't mean any harm. He only wanted to protect her, as usual. He would never take such a big risk like that. Which meant that he didn't know he would turn into this.
Inuyasha has it all wrong.
But, even so, Kouga should have known that if he was a canine, and canines usually react like this, he shouldn't have taken her there. It was mind-boggling and overall confusing.
She lay down on her stomach to ease the pain a bit, and then rested her chin on her arms. Inuyasha… He was still out there injured and helpless. He had saved her from Kouga once again, but she knew that possibly took out everything he had in him. Anything could've happened just then. Kouga could've severely hurt him after she dropped into the well. Or maybe he was unconscious. Any demon could come by and devour him if that ever happened. If Kouga wasn't in Inuyasha's time looking for her at the very second, she would've made a beeline for Inuyasha right then.
She sighed. Inuyasha. Always so noble, bold, and brave without knowing it. If she knew him, he was thinking right now for her not to come back. But she was always so stubborn and didn't do as she was told.
So, with stubbornness in her blood at the present moment, and nobody around the house to stop her, she put back on her shoes in attempt to run back to Inuyasha to help him. This time, with her bow and arrow handy.
In classic sneaking stance, she unlocked the window, and began to push it open so that the neighbors didn't see her leave through the front.
Although…she didn't think the window would break open.
"Auugghh!" she screamed. Glass splattered all over Kagome's bedroom floor. Her blood escaped from her face somewhat from glass that scratched her cheek.
That was the least of her worries.
Kouga stood boldly in front of Kagome. She appeared fallen on the ground shocked to see Kouga with a surprised look on her face.
"H—How did you get here?" she managed to sputter out.
The only response he gave to her was a dangerous smirk.
Without answering, he hoisted her up over his head.
"Kouga! W—what are you doing! Put me down!"
Without hesitation he threw her over her bed and across the room.
"AUUGHH!"
She landed onto the other side of the room, struggled to get up, and managed to stand up weak.
He walked towards her and all she could do was stare. He hoisted her up again, and threw her across to the other side of the room against the wall and she collapsed with a heavy thud.
Kagome couldn't move. Her bruises became red like a strawberry and she quavered because of her injuries.
"W—why a—are y—you doing this?"
He smiled. "You're too stubborn, Kagome. If I can't get you when you're strong, why not when you are vulnerable and defenseless?" (a/n For those of you who don't know what he means, here is an example of what he is doing. It's like a girl at party with drinks and food, and she puts her cup down filled with juice and a guy comes around and sneaks a drug in her drink and then 10 minutes later, she's not so great. So then, when she is in that state, the guy takes advantage of her and…you know the rest of what happens to her.)
Kagome breathed heavily. The throws took a whole lot out of her point being that she was a mere human and he was a full demon with super strength.
She lay helpless and he smiled triumphantly being positive he'd be getting what he deserved as a canine.
"Kouga!"
Inuyasha stood by the window propping himself up with the scabbard and sword. He growled.
If you…huph…lay one finger on her, you will regret it."
"Dog-turd...you are so too late. I've already won. You stand there helpless, and she, too is weak. I have no regrets at this time. What do you believe I'm going to regret? Hurting her and then you defeating me? Don't make me laugh."
"No," he responded. "You will regret much more than that. You'll regret doing it because when you return to your normal self, you won't be able to look at your own shadow...your own reflection. Your real self with be shameful. Everyone will despise you except your worthless tribe. Even Kagome will hate you, and she is one person that doesn't hate someone very easily. Especially someone like you. I don't care if you in the state as you are now doesn't care for what I have to say…"
Inuyasha looked behind him and reached for one of Kagome's perfume bottles.
"…but I know that somewhere inside of you, the real you has been listening to everything I have said to you, and is thinking. He is thinking about the friendship he will potentially lose from Kagome—the one person he truly cares about."
Kouga stood motionless from Inuyasha and expressionless. Then smirked.
"You're right. I don't care. And I don't care if the real me is crying a waterfall. All I care about is getting what I want," he said while looking ravenously at the unconscious 15 year old human girl.
Inuyasha made a stern face.
"Hey Kouga. Do you like Kagome's smell?"
"Of course. That is the reason I'm after her isn't it?"
"No...I mean her other smells."
"What other smells?"
"Like…THIS ONE!"
Inuyasha threw the strawberry kiwi smelled perfume at him aiming for his nose. It splattered on his face and he screamed.
"My nose! It stings! AUGH! WHAT IS THIS SMELL! GET IT AWAY!"
Inuyasha didn't dare to look back. He grabbed Kagome and jumped out the window. He could still hear Kouga scream in her room as he ran for the shrine.
He shut the door and jumped into the well, then jumped back out. He was home, and his main priority was to get to Kaede's village where Kagome could be safe.
He arrived and looked around running into Kaede's hut with Kagome in his arms.
"Inuyasha," started Sango, "What— gasp KAGOME!"
"Inuyasha," said Miroku, "what is going on? What happened?" he finished as Sango grabbed Kagome from Inuyasha and set her down on the ground. She and Cede went right to work and tried to heal her.
"Listen," there is absolutely no time to explain, but to make a long story incredibly short: Kouga is after Kagome because it's her time of the month and he chased after her, and we tried to fight him. I was too weak, and Kouga went to Kagome's house after she dropped into the well. I don't know how he got through so don't ask. Anyway, Kouga found her in her room and started to beat her up so that he could take advantage of her easier and now her she is."
"Where's Kouga?" asked Miroku sternly.
"Probably back here looking for us. But I bought us some time. I threw one of her smelly bottles in his face and his nose shouldn't be working properly for almost an hour. I should know. That gives us time to hide her in a safe place."
"Inuyasha, I—"
"Don't argue with me! I have no patience for it! Just do as I say before Kouga gets to her! I need you, Miroku, and Kaede ba-baa to protect her. Shippou will come with me."
Shippou gulped, then nodded in understanding.
"What about you?" asked Sango. "You're just as injured. You'll never beat him if that's what you're thinking."
Inuyasha sighed.
"Well, that's just a risk I'm going to have to take…"
Did you like it? I seem to aske that question at the end of all my chapters oh well... did ya?
