Chapter 2: Kwewe

Kagome stared ahead as she rode her bike at a leisurely pace along the dirt path. She glanced over at Inuyasha, his arms folded over his chest in that I-am-so-above-everybody-else posture. She shook her head and looked over at Sango just in time to see her slap Miroku. She smiled. Secretly, she thought that those two really liked each other. If only Miroku could put a stop to his lecherous ways, the two might actually get somewhere, but it didn't seem like that would be happening anytime soon.

She sighed. It had been so unbelievably awkward coming back. The first two days the two hadn't been able to look each other in the eye without blushing furiously, only compounded when Miroku had questioned Kagome about the row of teeth marks on her neck.

Why oh why did she have to have a dirty dream at that precise moment? Or, better yet, why did she have to act it out in her sleep? She thought about how she'd woken up, grasping his member, and blushed deeply, becoming slightly aroused at the memory. Getting further lost in her thoughts, she contemplated the way it felt when he'd bitten onto and held her neck like that. The most disturbing part of all of this, was how much the biting had turned her on.

Since when did she so enjoy such animalistic behavior. Although, she supposed she couldn't really judge what her greatest turn-ons were going to be since she'd never been put into the situation she was in yesterday before.

She idly wondered what it was that turned Inuyasha on the most. Judging by what he was doing to her she could probably guess. Since logic said that what people do to you is what they find most arousing, she'd bet all her shikon shards that if she bit him on the neck and held on like he'd done that he'd lose it.

Kagome allowed herself a dirty little smile, laughing inwardly that she was thinking of such perverted things while in the presence of everyone else and they knew nothing about it.

Inuyasha nearly fell over when the scent of Kagome's arousal slammed into him and had so suppress the urge to carry her off into the woods to finish what they'd started the other day. Kagome had turned nineteen a couple of months ago, and since she was now fully matured he had been having a very difficult time not taking her as his own recently anyway, but since a couple of days ago he'd practically been walking around with a permanent hard on.

When Kagome had snapped him out of his full youkai state he'd panicked, worried that she would reject him, and had thus run away. But now, to be in her constant presence was killing him. He didn't know how much longer he was going to be able to last while in her presence.

Now, with the scent of her arousal, he was trying to hold in a groan as he felt his pants becoming taut around his hips. He quickened his pace, making sure that the others behind him would not see anything, and glanced back at Kagome. What he saw shocked him. She had a wicked little grin on her face!

Inuyasha whipped his head back around, determined not to look at her. Here he was suffering with trying to control himself and she had that little grin on her face, enjoying whatever it was she was fantasizing about.

Kagome glanced up when she noticed that Inuyasha was very far ahead of them and pushed the pedals on her bike harder, trying to catch up with him. However, when he turned around and looked at her, seeing that she was riding up to him, he picked up the pace and ran off in front of them, leaving her to frown in his wake.

She stopped her bike next to Sango and Miroku and looked at them.

"What's wrong with him?" she asked.

Sango looked at Kagome for a long moment before she answered with her own question. "May I ask you something Kagome-chan?"

Kagome looked at her apprehensively. "Um, yes?" she replied, feeling herself begin to sweat. She had a bad feeling about what was to come.

"You two have been acting very odd lately and I was wondering why."

"……………………………..."

"If you would not like to speak about it then that is fine, but you know if something is bothering you that you can speak to me about it, right?"

"Of course, Sango-chan," Kagome replied, immediately feeling guilty, but if only Sango knew in what way Kagome was bothered perhaps she could understand the girl's reluctance to speak about it.

The group fell silent and carried on walking for a while before they saw Inuyasha on top of the hill they were coming to.

"A town is up ahead," Inuyasha said. Kagome looked down from the hill and squinted into the woods ahead of them, but didn't see anything.

"How can you tell?" she asked curiously.

"I smell blood." Kagome looked ahead nervously, her good mood instantly gone. Blood?

"How much?" she asked, wondering why he wasn't running ahead like he usually did to investigate.

"Just a couple of people," he replied, leaving Kagome to wonder why he was being so vague.

"Shouldn't we go and see if everybody is okay?" she asked.

"Keh. I don't see why. You don't sense any shikon shards do you?"

"No, but that doesn't mean we can't try to help if something's wrong. I'm going to go ahead and see what's going on," Kagome declared. She rode past everyone before they could say anything.

"Oy! Kagome!" Inuyasha called. "You baka! Just because only a few people are hurt doesn't mean that it isn't dangerous!" he yelled after her.

Sango shook her head as Inuyasha went running after Kagome. Those two had serious issues with each other that needed dealing with. She'd seen the way they'd been looking at each other over the past few days and knew something had happened between them, she just didn't know what. She'd also seen that dirty little grin on Kagome's face just before Inuyasha had taken off ahead of them.

However, what she couldn't understand was why they avoided the problem and refused to talk about it. Ah well, someday they would learn, she hoped.

Kagome came to an abrupt halt when she reached the town. What the hell? The village seemed to be empty, but she could hear a great cacophony of yells and jeers towards the center. She dropped her bike and jogged toward the center of town. When she finally reached the origin of all the noise her jaw dropped. There was a girl tied to a pole that was stuck in the ground. The fact that there was a girl tied to a pole in the ground, however, was not the only source of Kagome's surprise; it was the look of the girl. Her hair was wild, it stuck out all over the place with branches and leaves in it. She wore what looked to be a loin cloth and a bra made out of leaves. Dirt was smudged all over her face and her feet were bare.

Kagome turned to Inuyasha as he walked up beside her, nearly laughing at the comically confused look on his face that she was sure had been on hers moments before.

"Should we?..." she left the question open, not sure of how to end it exactly. Inuyasha just looked at her.

"It's the town's business. I don't see why WE have to interfere when a Shikon shard isn't involved."

Kagome hit him in the back of the head, leaving a large lump.

"Oy! What was that for bitch!" he cried, holding his head in both his hands.

"You're such an asshole Inuyasha!" Kagome stomped into the town, her hands balled into fists at her sides. She walked up to the men who surrounded the girl, deciding to inquire as to what was going on.

"Um, Excuse me?" They didn't seem to notice her.

"Excuse me," she said a little louder. Still, there was no reaction.

"Excuse me!" she yelled. The men finally turned around to face her.

"Yeah? What is it?" the tallest one asked.

"I was just wondering if you could explain to me why you have this young girl tied to a pole?" she asked mock sweetly.

"Because she's a menace," the man, whose voice sounded like gravel, said, clearly annoyed by Kagome's presence.

"What did she do to deserve being subjected to public humiliation like this?" she asked, trying to keep the majority of her annoyance out of her voice.

"She hangs around here and won't leave. She's stolen food and kidnapped some of the town children."

Kagome looked over to the girl, who was sticking her tongue out at the men. The shortest man reached out and backhanded the girl. Her head snapped around, but she turned it back quickly and spit on the man's shoe. The man reached up to hit her again but was stopped by a voice.

"Oy. Don't do that," Inuyasha said, standing casually behind Kagome.

The man appeared so size up Inuyasha before he asked: "Oh? And why not?" Then he hit the girl again. Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched.

Inuyasha opened his mouth to reply when Kagome cut him off.

"Because you've got her all tied up and she can't even defend herself!"

"Stay out of this girl, you don't know the trouble she's caused. She looks innocent, but she's a witch."

Kagome rolled her eyes. What was the deal with people in this time accusing everyone of being witches and demons and such?

"Did you really kidnap the kids?" she asked, squatting down so that she was eye level with the girl sitting on the ground. The girls eyes narrowed as she seemed to consider Kagome for a moment before answering.

"No. Why would I do something like that? We were all just playing a game." She turned her head away from Kagome and turned to Inuyasha, a mischievous gleam in her eyes.

"What's your name?" Kagome asked politely. The girl looked at Kagome and just stuck her tongue out.

"She wouldn't tell us either," one of the men said, crossing his arms over his chest. "she's an insolent little bitch!"

"Why don't you just tell her," Inuyasha said, bored with the situation and become frustrated fast. He wanted for them to be on their way. The girl's eyes lit up and she tilted her head up at the hanyou.

"I'll tell YOU," she said, smiling at him.

"Fine then, tell me," he said, not even looking at her.

"Come here."

He eyed her warily before walking over to her, wanting to be rid of this town. He stood before her, waiting expectantly.

"Closer," she whispered. He leaned over. Quicker than lightning her hands were free, and before anyone could blink she'd reached up , grabbed Inuyasha behind his head, and pulled his face to her, pressing her lips against his hard. Kagome's jaw dropped open, as did that of the men standing around the girl. Inuyasha's eyes were wide open in shock.

The girl kept her hold on him as she removed her lips from his and moved her face to trace the shell of his ear with her tongue. Kagome felt fury well up inside of her. If that girl were a demon she'd purify her all the way to hell and back. Here she'd been trying to help her out of a situation she was sure the girl was innocent of and she went and tried to steal her hanyou!

Kagome's thoughts froze. Since when had he been her hanyou? She asked herself and blanched when a small part in her brain replied 'since you met him.'

The girl pulled back and left her lips next to Inuyasha's ear. "My name is Kwewe," she said silkily. Kagome was still in a daze at her thoughts, and thus not paying attention. Inuyasha backed quickly away from the girl when she released his head, his eyebrow twitching, then looked quickly to Kagome to see her reaction. He became worried as the glazed expression on her face did not change and she seemed to be mumbling to herself.

'I mean really Kagome, you don't even know if he returns your feelings so how could he be yours,' her brain continued to argue.

'Because you think of him as such. Besides, he did try to mark you didn't he? You could've had a whole lot of fun if you'd let him.'

Kagome blushed hotly. 'I don't even think he knew who he was doing that to, he was in full youkai mode.'

'But even in full youkai mode he always seems to recognize you doesn't he?'

'……………………'

The girl hopped away from the pole and ran briskly from the town, able to push past all the stunned men. After a moment where one could practically heard the gears grinding in their heads one of them thickly said: "Hey, she's running away."

The men all picked up their pitchforks they'd been holding earlier and ran after her while Inuyasha stood frozen to the spot.

Kagome was ripped from her reverie when she heard Kwewe's distant whoops of joy fading and found herself standing alone in the clearing with Inuyasha. He seemed to be watching her closely, as though expecting to be sat, and though she was sorely tempted, she knew that it wasn't his fault that Kwewe had done that to him.

She turned numbly and began slowly walking back toward the place they had left Sango and Miroku. She picked up her bike, without saying a word, and wheeled away from him.

'After all,' she thought, 'he isn't mine, so I have no right to be jealous, right?'
