Recap:

"No Kouga!" She was crying. Kouga looked from Kagome to Inu-yasha. Inu-yasha was still lying in the dirt even though the spell was long over. Then Kouga made his decision and made a life risking move…

Chapter 6: Kouga's Pride.

Shippou smelt blood. He couldn't tell who's it was. Kilala lifted her head. She smelt the blood to. She nudged Sango's sleeping form. Shippou could tell Sango was really tired. He pulled Kilala away from Sango and whispered in her ear. She meowed and started running with Shippou by her side. Once distanced from Sango and Miroku Kilala transformed and Shippou jumped onto her back. Kilala jumped into the starry night to find Kagome.

Kagome cried. Kouga jumped into the air and landed on Inu-yasha's motionless form, slicing his shoulder. "This is it Mutt. After your death I will mate Kagome and WE will get the rest of the jewel shard so she can become a WOLF demon." Kouga sneered. "Answer me mutt. I know you can hear me." Inu-yasha let out a painful breath. "You are right about…one thing…Ugh…" Kouga was confused. "I can hear you. And it sickens me!" Inu-yasha turned and punched the air where Kouga was once positioned.

(A/N I am really bad with fighting scenes so….)

Kouga landed a few feet to the left. Kagome looked up to see Inu-yasha slowly standing. Kagome was about to run to his side. "Stay!" Inu-yasha yelled. He held his head with one hand and pulled out the Tetsusaiga and leaned on it. The sword transformed in an instant.

Inu-yasha had trouble lifting it but once it was in the air he could feel the wind scar all around. He gave it a trial swing and brought up the dust and small rocks as it hit Kouga's spot. Kouga came down with one leg out. Inu-yasha jumped back as the ground before him split.

Kouga bounce back up with his other leg embedded with a jewel shard and did a round house kick. Inu-yasha dogged and swung the tetsusaiga at his opponent. Kagome could tell Kouga was aiming for a kill. Inu-yasha was just defending. Kouga jumped back and charged straight back. Inu-yasha had no time to jump and blocked the punch with his sword.

Kouga slid to the ground and tripped Inu-yasha. Inu-yasha fell over Kouga. Kouga was about to dodge. That would end the battle for him. "SIT!" Kouga became trapped under Inu-yasha's impact. Kouga cried out as he was pressed to the ground. He held his hand out to stop the body from crushing him completely but only cut Inu-yasha's torso.

The spell started to waver. Inu-yasha groaned. The pain was excruciating. Inu-yasha was thrown of Kouga. Kouga jumped up and held his stomach. Kagome tried to run to Inu-yasha but Kouga ran to her. "Stay out of this Kagome." He growled. He pulled her into a hug and ran at Inu-yasha's rising body. Inu-yasha was kicked back to the ground. Kouga was aiming his final blow.

Kagome screamed. Kouga's final blow hit some one else. Kilala was thrown far away. She jumped back up. She flew to before Inu-yasha. The sun was starting to rise. A streak of light was crossing the forest when Kilala untransformed and Shippou fell. Kouga had jumped before Kilala had recovered and kicked Inu-yasha. Not killing him though. Inu-yasha recovered from this one and stood. He was on the edge of the cliff. The blood from his side was flowing out steadily as it mingled with his shoulder's blood.

OIne hand on his shoulder the other holding his weapon Inu-yasha stood. He turned to Kagome. "Kagome…I couldn't beat him. I can't. It's over. I took him to lightly…I love you." And Kouga kicked his final blow that no demon couldn't survived and Inu-yasha was thrown off the cliff. Shippou blinked twice. Waiting for Inu-yasha to jump back up and save the day. He had done it so many times. Was he stalling and waiting for the right moment? Kagome ran to the cliff edge. Kouga whipped the little blood Inu-yasha had caused him to lose.

He smirked as he wrapped an arm around Kagome. Kagome pushed him off. She tried to see over the cliff but couldn't. She fell to the ground. A pool of blood touched her skin. The blood that belonged to her love. Her love? She had never admitted it before but she had always admired him. Now he was gone. Kouga picked up Kagome and was about to mark her. Kagome was pushing away with all her might. Screaming, punching, kicking, anything to get away. Shippou ran to the edge. "Where's…Where's Inu-yasha?" Tears were forming in his eyes.

Kilala transformed once more as Sango ran into the scene. Seeing no Inu-yasha, blood, Kouga, Kagome sobbing and a cliff Sango understood. She Ran to Kagome's side and pulled her from Kouga. Kouga bite the air nicking Kagome's shoulder. Not enough to bind her for eternity but enough until the next new moon.

"She is my woman." Kouga growled as Sango hid Kagome behind her. "You'll have to go through us first." Miroku shouted as he slid beside Sango and hid Kagome from Kouga's blue eyes. Miroku yelled to Kagome. "Kagome! I can't suck him into my wind tunnel because of the jewel shards!" Kouga smirked. "That's right monk. Your power is useless against me. and the slayer can't defeat me either." "Why is that?" Sango yelled as she pulled out her hiraikotsu and prepared to kill him. Kouga jumped up high landed far back. Sango screamed as he landed before the wounded Kilala and picked her up. "Kagome come here. Unless you want the neko top die as the mutt did.

Sango went stiff. Give him Kagome, her best friend, or Kilala, her companion for life. Miroku stood before the two ladies. "It's not their choice. It's mine." "If I defeated the mutt what makes you think you can defeat me monk?" Kouga sneered. Miroku took a fighting stance as he pulled out a sutra warding off demons. If he could tag Kouga he would be paralyzed. Shippou was crying over the cliff edge as he watched the battle go on. Kouga smirked.

"Kagome! Would you like your friends alive? They could live. If you want them to live come here. Otherwise they will die as the mutt did." Kagome covered her mouth with her hand. Sango turned to Kagome. "Don't. We can take him. Don't…" Tears stained her face. "I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of me and what I want." "I'm coming with you!"

A/N

I know its short but this is probably last chapter…considering the amount of reviews I received for the last chapter.
