Chapter three: The fight: Inuyasha vs. Kouga and Sango vs. kagome!

Kouga had awoken and left the cave, he retreated back to the entrance to have one last look at his darling Sango, He turned and darted back to the den. I can't believe I stayed with that woman all night and forgot all about Kagome, he thought. Yes he stayed out all night but he just had to be sure Sango wasn't going to die on him, he knew that somehow he would'nt be able to handle it. He wondered how or why he had grown so fond of her. Always making sure she was breathing. He tried to hurry back to the den, he got real close then smelled a scent that was quite familiar, Inuyasha.

"how could that mutt be near here?" he said sniffing around. he gasped," and I smell kagome too!" he ran back to the den and darted inside he looked inside and too the left at Kagome and his bed and there lay Kagome and Inuyasha. Kouga felt the blood rush to his head, he was so furious he wanted to kill. How could his own wife be in love with that mutt and how could she alow him to come into his home. He felt betrayed but somehow he always knew this was bound to happen. He saw the way she still looked at Inuyasha and he saw the way Inuyasha looked at her. Maybe he just didnt want to believe it before, but now he could see. See the real truth behind Kagome's outward exterior, and he wondered if she only married him to make him happy. The rage builded up in side him, ready to explode. He wanted to kill something, he felt so betrayed, by the woman he was most in love with for almost all of his days. He took one more glance and them and decided he couldn't take it anymore.

Kagome tossed and turned, she sat up yawned and rubbed her eyes. She opened them only to see kouga about three inches from ringing her neck She gasped, " kouga what are yo-" she noticed Inuyasha was laying beside her. oh we must have fell asleep, she thought. What does Kouga think. She looked at his face, his eyes filled with rage and betrayal. She could see how furious he was concidering he was about to strangle her.

Kouga's harsh voice run in her ears, " KAGOME HOW COULD YOU!"

Kagome could barely speak, she knew he was upset and nothing gets through to him when hes upset. " Kouga I'm sorry... Inuyasha just came over to... give m-"

He cut her off, " do you think i actually care what happened!"

" Kouga I can explain. Its not what it looks like! I'm sorry!"

Kouga's cold eyes tunred to Inuyasha, " if it's not as it apears then you would'nt be apologizing! I've seen how you look at him and I've seen how he looks at you! I dont want your lame excuse and I dont want your apology and I dont want you! Get over your little trampy self and get out of my den! and take that damn mutt with you!"

Kagome looked at the floor," but Kouga... I love yo-"

He looked away from her," save it! I dont want you to lie to me! your true love is laying right beside you! so take him and just get out!"

Kagome woke Inuyasha, she was in tears now, she just lost her husband and her home. Atleast she still had Inuyasha. Inuyasha sat up and looked around, he was a bit confused concidering he just woke up. Then he saw Kouga and the expression on his face, he knew Kouga wanted so badly to murder him but yet he still enjoyed provoking the wolf. " oh wolf... you're back, well I entertained your woman while you were gone. You really should'nt leave such a beautiful woman alone, because when someone better like me comes along then you'll be out of luck. Cause you woman has moved on." he enjoyed rubbing things in kouga's face.

Kouga tried to contain himself, " just get out!"

Kagome grabbed her things, her eyes filled with tears, her and Inuyasha left the den. Inuyasha said Kagome could come be with him, then he saw her crying." I can't believe you're crying over that jerk!"

" Thats not it Inuy-"

"what is it then?"

Kagome didnt answer, she just stood there, tears still running down her face.

Inuyasha stared at her, " you still love him dont you!"

She still stood there silently

"dont you!"

She only looked at him, she didnt want to tell him she still loved Kouga and that she might still love him for the rest of her life, " no I dont still love him." she lied and looked away from him, she knew she counld'nt tell him that she would rather be with kouga than with him

Inuyasha just looked at her, " i love you Kagome, but if you still love that wolf in there then I'm just wasting my time here." He started to walk away when Kagome grabbed his arm, he shook her off and continued walking.

" Inuyasha wait..."

Inuyasha stopped and tunred back around, " It's useless waiting for you! you're still in love with Kouga, you'd rather be with that wolf than me."

Kagome lost her home and her husband because of Inuyasha and now she was going to lose him too, she would'nt be able to handle being alone. " Inuyasha I want to be with you, I love you!"

Inuyasha smiled, walked over to her and kissed her forehead," I love you too."

Kouga's rage has subsided, he was sitting under a waterfall deep in the forest. How could she do that to me, I thought she wanted to be with me, he thought. He closed his eyes, " I cant understand why she loves that mutt faced loser!" A familar scent sparked in his nose. It's Sango, he thought. He wanted to see her, he wanted to hold her. He wanted to tell her, he wanted to tell her what Kagome did, how it made him feel and to tell her how he really feels for her. When she was around, it made he feel good, it made him feel accepted. Now that Kagome was out of the picture, he might want to go for it, but he didnt want to rush into things. He didnt want to tell her anything untill there was nothing holding him back. He tried to erase Kagome from his mind but there was still something tying him to her. He wished he could forget, after what she did, surprisingly enough he hadn't killed her. The scent got closer, he could hear her voice.

"great job kirara!" she sighed as Kirara turned back into her smaller cat demon form. " thats enough training for now, we should take a break." Sango walked into the next clearing, where she found a beautiful lake and looked out at the sparkling water. She pulled the tie from her hair allowing it to fall down ehr back and blow in the wind. She was close to Kouga and naturally he was watching her from a tree. She untied her belt and slipped off her demon slayers outfit, revealing a tight under suit that would be easier to swim in. His cheeks turned a bright pink. He continued to watch her as she stepped down into the water, the coldness made her body shiver. She took a deep breath then leaped into the cool water. He watched her untill she got out of the water then he looked away so she could dry off and get dressed again.

She's beautiful, he thought. He was going to leap from the tree and return to his den to sulk in his own self pity, untill he tripped and fell from the tree. "owwww..." he landed right at Sango's feet.

Sango looked at him and laughed," nice of you to drop in Kouga." he liked the sound of her laughter, it made him happy. It made him happy to see her happy it made him happy just to see her period. He sat up and leaned against the tree he fell out off, he motioned for Sango to sit beside him.

" so whats up Sango?"

" nothing, just went for alittle swim."

Kouga blushed, " I know... I saw."

Sango laughed," so you were watching me huh?"

He turned redder, " well not exactly."

" OMG! you were!" she continued to laugh at him, " I dont think Kagome would aprove."

"uh... we're not together anymore."

"what do you mean? what happened?"

Kouga looked down, constantly avoiding Sango's eyes," this morning I found her with Inuyasha and then I threw her out, It's over."

"oh Kouga, I'm so sorry."

Kouga stood up and started walking away," Dont worry about it, it's not your fault. It's not like u wanted this to happen."

Sango blushed, " yeah..." she wanted to tell him that she had hoped him and Kagome would split up, because she had some feelings for him, but she knew he would never want to be with her. He was too strong and Kagome was the only woman for him, she saw the look on his face and in his eyes when he told her him and Kagome had seperated, he had a true look of sadness. She knew he was going to love Kagome till the day he died, so she just wanted to get rid of all these emotions that built up inside of her, all these confusing emorions that drove her insane when she saw him.

Kouga walks throught the woods he walked through a clearing and then another, he heard familar voices up ahead. Two women and a man.

" you still love him, its written all over your face!"

" Inuyasha I love you and you know that."

" Kagome give it up, you loved him! thats why you married that wolf!"

The second woman cut in," Besides Kagome how could Inuyasha love you when he has pledged his heart to me?"

Kagome stared at the ground and just laughed, " That's funny, how could Inuyasha love you Kikyo, you cant love a cold lifeless whore!"

Kagome and Kikyo continued to throw insults at each other. Inuyasha sat by and watched untill he could'nt contain himself any longer. He grabbed Kikyo and took off with her, he left Kagome standing in the dust. She was shocked, Inuyasha made her lose everything, her whole life sent down the drain and now she had lost Inuyasha too. She felt horrible, she held her sides and collapsed to the ground. She had lost everything she ever dreamed off. She knew she'd be better off dead.

Kouga watched her for a while untill someone tapped his shoulder, startled he grabbed then and pinned them against the tree. "eep!" sango yelled allowing kagome to know someone was there, Of course she followed Kouga. He let his grip up on Sango and turned back to Kagome," quiet woman. and don't sneak up on me again."

" Oh...sorry," she whispered as she peaked around the tree at Kagome and she was walking toward them.

Kagome held out her arms to Kouga," Kouga, I'm so sorry."

Kouga just looked at her, a sudden glare on Sango's face showed her anger for that woman. Kagome tried to hug him, he only pushed her away. Did she honestly think for one second, that he would actually want her back. Sango couldn't contain her anger any longer," I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KAGOME! I WAS MAD BECAUSE YOU BROKE KOUGA'S HEART! BUT NOW I AM EVEN MORE TICKED KNOWING THAT YOUR LOYALTY IS ABSOLUTLY PITIFUL! YOUR ACTIONS LATELY MAKE ME SICK TO THE POINT WHERE I WANNA GAG! HOW CAN YOU EXPECT HIM TO TAKE YOU BACK AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO HIM!"

Kouga and Kagome were both surprised at her rage," but...I...love him... I LOVE YOU KOUGA!"

Sango clutched her boomerang, then swung it rapidly at Kagome," JUST LIKE YOU LOVE INUYASHA! JUST LIKE YOU LOVE ANYTHING THAT WALKS BY! YOU TRAMP!"

Kagome looked down, " you're wrong, I really do love him."

Sango threw her boomerang at kagome, knocking her down," YOU LIAR!"

Kagome hit the ground," Sango... stop!"

"THEN STOP KIDDING YOURSELF, KOUGA IS OVER YOU! AND YOU DON'T TRULY LOVE HIM!"

"thats not true..."

Sango glares down at her and slams her boomerang into the ground beside her head," YES IT IS! YOU JUST DONT WANT TO BE ALONE! YOU WANT TO FEEL LIKE YOUR PATHETIC EXSISTANCE ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING!"

"WHATS WRONG WITH YOU SANGO! YOU'RE ACTING CRAZY!"

"I AM NOT KAGOME! YOU ARE! YOU'RE CRAZY FOR THINKING HE'S ACTUALLY WANT A WHORE LIKE YOU BACK!She kicked kagome to the side, grabbed her boomerang and stormed off
