Chapter 7-Kouga's Trap
Kagome pushed through the thick undergrowth of the forest. Running, running as fast as she could…blindly. She didn't care where she was going; she didn't care what would happen to her. All she cared about was that she wanted to get away- as far as possible. She didn't know why this was happening to her. All this misfortune, all this bad luck…now, even Inuyasha had found someone (Kagome).
Kagome had nowhere to go now. She had left Kouga and now she had left Inuyasha. What was the point of her staying here? There was no one left for her. She didn't belong in this era- and these two situations had just proved it further.
Suddenly, she stopped as she heard a slight rustle in the bushes behind her. She turned around, with the tips of her hair on edge. There stood the well, and behind that stood……
------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha was so relaxed. He was so glad that Miroku had brought him to this place. Lately he hadn't been himself- he was acting so strangely with Miroku…and he didn't know why- he just couldn't help it. Maybe he was becoming attracted to him….Yuck….I would never let that happen (Inuyasha) thought as he scrawled his eyes in a disgusted manner. Though deep down he knew that something was happening to his heart that had never happened before….and that Miroku, might be the one…..
Unexpectedly, Sango ran out of the bushes, her breath heavy with fatigue. "In-u-yasha…." She panted heavily.
Taken out of his deep concentration of thought Inuyasha jerked his head quickly to see Sango kneeling down and breathing heavily from running. Miroku, being the way that he was jumped out of the spring as quickly as he could to go and aid her.
"What! What is it Sango…are you okay!" he asked anxiously, frightened that something had happened to her.
Sango lifted her head about to tell Miroku that she had just seen Kagome when…."AHH..Miroku wear some clothes!" Sango yelled as she quickly turned her head and blushed severely. Miroku not understanding what Sango was saying blanked out for a moment, but he suddenly looked down and saw that all he was wearing was his underwear! "OOPS…" he blabbered as his cheeks flushed to a dark cherry red and he ran to get his robe. Quickly putting it on he ran back, trying to make Sango forget about the embarrassing moment and tell them what was on her mind.
Inuyasha just stayed in the hot spring, looking at the whole scene in front of them. He didn't like the way Miroku and Sango were acting with each other, so affectionately…..he thought jealously.
Sango pushed Miroku out of the way and ran over towards Inuyasha…"Inuyasha! I just saw Kagome!"
"WHAT!" he yelled as he quickly turned his head in surprise.
"Ya… I just saw her, she had been following you two until you came to the hot spring, then for some reason she turned around in disgust and ran away! Before I could catch up to her she was gone…" Sango sighed and put her head down in an embarrassed way.
"And you didn't run after her!" Inuyasha said in an outraged voice!
" I couldn't help it- she was gone by then! I didn't know what direction she had gone in!"
"GOSH SANGO!" Inuyasha said in a frustrated voice as he jumped out of the hot spring and put on his kimono. I'm gonna find Kagome, no matter what it takes…(Inuyasha). As he jumped through the forest and out of sight.
-------------------------------------------------
"…K-k-kouga…." Kagome stammered out loud, astonished that he had been able to find her after all this time.
"Kagome, I'm back to me" he whimpered (in a very doggish way).
Kagome gave a disgusted stare….that was pathetic that he was trying at all to come back to her and ask for her forgiveness. "No- Kouga get away from me…I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore!" She said as she walked to the opposite side of the forest, trying her best to get away from him. Though he quickly jumped in front of her stopping her path.
"What are you doing?" she yelled out loud.
"I'm not letting you pass…." He said surely with his hands spread out across, preventing her from moving forward.
"Are you threatening me?" she said in a surprised voice…
"…could be…" he snickered in an evil laugh.
"…y-y-you're joking…." Kagome stammered, trying as hard as possible to not let her fear leak out.
"No…I'm not…come with me…or else…"
"Or else what!" she yelled in an annoyed voice.
"Or else…"…Kouga slowly took out a bottle of liquid from his back pocket. Inside it was a dark red liquid- almost blood red. It shone in the moonlight as it glistened in its transparent bottle. He waved it in front of Kagome in a hypnotizing swing, left… to right…to left…. to right…..
"You wouldn't!" Kagome yelled. Though deep down she knew that from all Kouga had done before, she wasn't surprised that he might do the same thing to her.
Kouga snickered smugly, knowing that right now he had total control of Kagome…she couldn't do anything against his wishes….if she did…..he laughed out loud.
He's crazy! This demon's gone totally insane! (Kagome). Kagome thought as she widened her eyes in horror. kagome…. (Kagome) . She quickly turned her heels and ran in the opposite direction, away from the well, away from Kouga…she had to get away….
------------------------------------
"Kagome! KAGOME!" Inuyasha wildly yelled out in desperation… Where the hell is she! She couldn't have gotten that far! (Inuyasha).
Inuyasha desperately twisted his head left and right, trying to get a glimpse of everything that was quickly passing by him as he ran. He had reached the village and was in front of Kaede's hut. Maybe she's in here….(Inuyasha), he thought hopefully.
He quietly peered in through the doorway, but to his dismay, there sat no one except Shippo, snoring loudly with a loud crackling fire nearby him. Inuyasha walked into the hut, his heavy footsteps patting across the wooden floor. Where could she have gone? (Inuyasha).
He madly shook his head, trying to get some idea of where she might have run off to. The well….she must have gone to the well (Inuyasha) thought as he looked up brightly. He ran out of the hut and out of sight, towards the well.
---------------------------------
She panted heavily, getting tired from running so far away. She didn't know if Kouga was behind her, or if he had luckily left her alone, but she was running…It's funny, it seems that all I've been doing these days is running…just running (Kagome).
Suddenly, her train of thought interrupted as she heard an eerie sound far away behind her. Soft, but sharp and raspy enough to be heard from the distance …
"Kagome….Kagome…now where did you run off to… you know that I'll just be able to find you…" yelled Kouga smugly.
That bastard…where do I go! Where do I hide? (Kagome). She was away from the well so she couldn't go back there and into her era, she couldn't go to Kaede's hut, Inuyasha was there. Where….where (Kagome), thought as her mind raced, trying to find the best thing to do.
She looked up, there was a large tree, in the centre of it was a large hole…she stopped in her tracks…Perfect (Kagome). She could hide in there without Kouga even finding out. The tree was angled in such a position that if anyone that was running fast, wouldn't even be able to see the hole, since it was placed so close to the ground, it could barely be seen unless someone looked at it closely.
Kagome squeezed into the hole…darn….I shouldn't have eaten all that junk food, otherwise I would have been able to get into this hole easier (Kagome), she laughed as she thought what a strange moment this was to make a joke.
She stepped into the damp hole, leaves crunching beneath her feet and the cold damp air surrounding her every breath. She was scared, she was alone, and what was she going to do now?
-------------------------------------
Inuyasha dashed over to the well….hopes high that he might be able to find Kagome….hopefully she would be standing there, about to jump into the well, and hopefully he would be able to save her before she left, and hopefully everything would become back to normal…..hopefully.
All I need is for Kagome to be at the well, then everything would work out perfectly (Inuyasha).
Inuyasha finally reached the well, though the only difference was that there was no Kagome, she wasn't standing there, she wasn't about to jump in the well, Inuyasha wasn't going to be able to save her before she jumped into the well and everything wasn't going to go back to normal.
His hope had been shattered. What the hell…Kagome's not here? Where did she go? I need to find her! (Inuyasha). Inuyasha looked desperately around the area surrounding the well, trying to find some trace of Kagome. There was no movement, it was totally silent, isolated…deserted.
The only thing that was moving was the wind…..a wind with a sweet, flowery smell, the smell….the smell of Kagome! (Inuyasha), thought excitedly. If I follow her scent…I'll be able to find her…everything will be alright (Inuyasha), thought as he reassured himself. Though suddenly, the wind blew again, but along with the scent of Kagome, there was another, very familiar scent. A wolf smell, dirty, mangy, filth….that could be none other than Kouga…(Inuyasha).
Suddenly his hopes died down as Inuyasha thought of the only logical reason Kouga and Kagome's scent would be together….they're together now, remember Inuyasha…they're lovers now (Inuyasha) thought sadly. What was he doing? He knew that Kagome didn't want him. She had run off with Kouga, why was he running after Kagome- was he really that desperate to see her? He shook his head, his arrogance and pride clouding up the thoughts of his heart. He turned around, gave a last look around at the well and sadly began to walk back to the hut.
"NOO- GET AWAY FROM ME!" shrieked a voice in the distance.
Inuyasha turned his head in instinct…he knew that voice…he was too familiar with it…that voice was in panic….
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled as he turned around and ran towards the voice that protruded from the darkness of the deep forest.
---------------------------------
Kagome screamed as loud as she could, her lungs screaming to its highest capacity, throat scrapping every sound that could come out of it, trying as hard as possible to hopefully get someone's attention- to help her…to save her…from Kouga.
He snickered evilly, staring down at Kagome. He had found her, he thought triumphantly. He smiled and said "I told you Kagome, I told you that I would find you…"
"Shut the hell up you bastard! Get away from me!" Kagome said as she struggled to get up, limping up against the tree. She was hurt. Kouga had found her…he was good, and he had pulled her out of the hole, and in the process she had ripped a long cut of flesh from her thigh- it had caught a sharp root. She moaned in agony as she held her bleeding thigh…..she tried to keep the wound closed with her hands, but it was to no affect, the most that happened were her hands that had gotten bloody from the massive amount of blood oozing from her torn tissue.
"Get away from me…." Kagome rasped with the most energy she could let out. She would never give up to Kouga- never…not after what he had done.
"You silly, silly woman…you think I'm going to leave you alone after you found out what I did! You think I'm stupid…" he said as he walked up to her, clearly looking at her gracefully elegant body, limping against the tree for support. "I would never… let something like you ever get away…." as he slapped her harshly on her cheek.
Kagome winced in pain, as she touched her burning cheek. She looked up with hatred into his eyes- he's evil (Kagome).
"That's for running away…." Kouga said. Still not satisfied, he greedily moved towards Kagome, he had the sudden urge of touching her beautiful body…feeling her…he still loved her… no matter what she had done. No, Kouga control yourself…save that for later…when you're safe in your cave (Kouga). He turned to her and resisted the temptation to do anything more than to quickly rip the upper portion of the shoulder on Kagome's shirt- fully exposing her bare shoulder. Kagome gasped- as she looked up towards Kouga with disgust.
Kouga snickered…"That's just a taste of what's going to happen when we get back into the cave…you're just lucky I didn't go all the way- yet."
"You disgusting pervert!" Kagome winced.
"Kagome….you are very, very attractive young lady…do you think I would let such a beautiful creature get away from me like this? Ever since you kissed me, I've wanted you more…you're lucky I controlled myself here….Kagome…you're mine….where are you going to go….to Inuyasha?" Kouga snickered evilly as he gently stroked Kagome's cheek and stared into her hazel eyes.
------------------------------
Inuyasha ran through the forest, desperate to find Kagome, she was in distress, and it was his duty to save her. Her scent was becoming stronger, and so was Kouga's. Though Inuyasha could smell something else…blood. That bastard (Inuyasha).
He came to a clearing….and there he saw… Kouga stroking Kagome's cheek. Though something wasn't right, Kouga seemed to be enjoying it, but Kagome had a look of utter horror and disgust on her face. She was backed up against a tree…reluctantly…and her thigh…her thigh was bleeding heavily.
"Kouga- leave me alone! I will never give into a bastard like you!" Kagome yelled with courage.
Inuyasha smiled….that's my Kagome (Inuyasha).
He stepped out into the clearing, and Kagome got a clear view of Inuyasha….she opened her eyes widely…"INUYASHA!" she yelled with joy.
"WHAT!" Kouga turned around in utter surprise…horror on his face. Everything had gone wrong. Why the hell was Inuyasha here!
"Inuyasha- get away from here…can't you see that Kagome and I are busy….we're a couple now… don't you know that you should never interrupt a couple when they're alone…."
Inuyasha stared angrily at Kouga…"My ass…." he said as he cracked his knuckles, ready to beat the crap out of him.
Kouga knew right now wasn't the time to fight…he would get back to Kagome later….
He turned his heel around and ran in the opposite direction. My plans have gone off course thanks to that bastard Inuyasha's interference. No matter, I'll get Kagome anyways. My plan is unbreakable. (Kouga) snickered as he ran off into the far distance.
"Come back here you soab" Inuyasha yelled in an outraged tone (A/N…soab means "son of a b…" you get the point… lol I didn't want to say it….)
Kagome looked up towards Inuyasha….her eyes glistening with happiness….she was saved….she smiled gently and looked up towards Inuyasha.
"T-t-thank you Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered….and she fainted into the out reached arms of Inuyasha, as he looked on stunned….
What is going on…?(Inuyasha).
