Last time: Charlie found Kay, but Michelle was kidnapped by Kouga. What is going to happen between them?
Chapter 6: Rescue Mission
Michelle stood in front of Kouga's den, glaring at the man who kidnapped her. Her gaze was ferocious and she continued to growl low in her throat. It looked like fire was burning behind her and was heating her up so she would be nice and crispy when Kouga finally talked.
"I kn--"
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU BRING ME HERE YOU IDIOT!" Michelle interrupted, yelling at the top of her lungs. "YOU BASTARD! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD KIDNAP A PERSON LIKE THAT FOR NO REASON! YOU ARE SUCH A JERK!"
Kouga smirked a little bit, his ears twitching at every word that got louder and louder. "I know what I did was wrong. I just had to see you again... and this was the only way I could without seeing that mutt-face," Kouga said calmly, seemingly pleased by her reaction.
"Why are you so happy!" Michelle yelled, though not as loud as before.
"I'm happy to hear your voice," Kouga answered.
"I told you before, I'm not your woman!"
"I won't have anyone but you, Michelle!" Kouga said, taking a step towards Michelle.
Michelle took a step back.
"What are you doing! Why did you bring me here!"
"I love you!"
"I thought you loved Kagome!"
"I did, but I love you more. You are more free-spirited. You speak your mind and tell people what you think about them without wondering about the consequences. You can fend for yourself. You are the best woman in the world, and the best woman for me," Kouga said as he took a step closer to her and put his hands on her shoulders.
Michelle's eyes widened as she looked around and then back at Kouga. The moon was so bright you could walk by it, and it glittered off of the waterfall in front of Kouga's den.
"But I'm a human..." Michelle said, not particularly interested in Kouga.
"That doesn't matter," Kouga said, pulling Michelle closer, being able to hold her still. He was taller than her and looking down at her, her face upturned to him.
Then he kissed her, quick but passionately.
Her eyes widened, much like Kay's did when Sesshomaru kissed her, and she stood there, looking at Kouga.
Michelle ran through the waterfall, wiping her mouth off after she was out of sight. She looked back and saw Kouga walking through the waterfall and Michelle went to a rock and leaned against it, not looking at Kouga at all.
Kouga walked over to her and said, "You can sleep on there." Kouga pointed to the back of the cave where he had put Kagome when he kidnapped her.
Michelle walked over to the pile of hay and laid down, curling up and closing her eyes, hoping to get to bed without troubles.

Morning brought new life to Michelle, but as soon as she saw Kouga, she shied away. This was odd behavior for Michelle, but oblivious Kouga didn't notice and he handed her some cooked rabbit. She looked at it with distaste, but started to eat it anyway, pulling the meat off gingerly.
Michelle could hardly keep her eyes open, but she managed to get through the morning. Everyone kept calling her sister, though... It got very annoying for her.
Kouga liked to keep an eye on Michelle and stay around the den. He did go outside a bit, passing through the waterfall every so often. Hakku and Ginta seemed to like Michelle just fine, and they stood guard, making sure Michelle was always kept safe.
The sun was high in the sky, the wind blowing lightly and making the trees whisper and rustle in the wind. Birds flew around the area, twittering happily and singing to each other.
Just then a large flock of birds flew up, squawking madly as if they were scared out of their minds. A few wolf demons ran out of the cave and looked towards the birds and sniffed the air.
"Kouga!" yelled one of the wolf demons. Kouga ran out of the cave and looked towards the forest where the birds were startled.
"What could it be?" another wolf demon asked.
Kouga's eyes narrowed slightly and he glared at the trees. "I smell dogs."
"Dogs?"
"There's another one with that stupid half-demon," Kouga said, his eyes narrowing even more.
"Another dog?" someone asked.
"Yeah... And a different human. They were traveling with Kagome once before."
Kouga growled and then started to run towards the scent of InuYasha and Hakku and Ginta followed behind, going quite slow compared to Kouga.
- - -
"InuYasha, Charlie says that he can smell Michelle and Kouga up ahead. Along with all those other wolves," Kay said, turning towards InuYasha who was running next to Charlie.
"Yeah, I smell that damn wolf," InuYasha said.
"Kouga is coming! I think he can smell us. I can sense his jewel shards," Kagome said, looking alert and aware of her surroundings all of a sudden.
"Charlie and I are going to go ahead. Then if Kouga comes, I can continue to Michelle," Kay said, making Charlie turn through the trees and disappear through them before InuYasha could object.
"Hey! Come back here!" InuYasha said, turning his head towards the spot where the girl and her dog had disappeared. He growled and glared into the trees, wondering why that girl had to be so direct.
"Don't worry, InuYasha. She'll be fine," Kagome said, gripping onto InuYasha's shoulder.
InuYasha shook his head and made a face that said, 'What an idiot.'
Soon a tornado that went around the trees and sped through the forest came to a halt in front of InuYasha and Kagome, and InuYasha could barely stop in time, so he wouldn't hit Kouga.
"Give back Michelle, you stupid wolf!" InuYasha yelled.
"Make me, mutt face," Kouga growled, clenching his fist and glaring at InuYasha. "I'm not going to let her go. I've claimed her as mine."
InuYasha and Kagome looked dumbfounded. "I thought you liked Kagome," InuYasha said.
"I can't get anywhere with her with the stupid mutt around... Sorry, Kagome, but I've decided that you aren't right for me," Kouga said, putting his hand out and closing his eyes.
"Well, that's a relief. I thought that you'd never get the message," Kagome muttered under her breath. InuYasha kept his mouth shut, trying not to laugh.
"You aren't going to get her, dirty mutt!"
"Try me, you smelly wolf," InuYasha said, letting Kagome off his back.
They jumped at each other, preparing to battle to the death.

Kay walked up to the cave with Charlie, who was now in his small dog form, looking for a way to get in without having to resort going through the waterfall. Kay looked at the package filled with the books and kimonos.
Charlie and her made it to the waterfall just fine, it seemed as if all the wolves were inside the cave. Probably protecting Michelle. Kay smirked and moved the bag full of books and clothes next to the waterfall, where it would wait until she came back.
Kay and Charlie walked through the waterfall, smirking and growling at the wolves.
"Who're you!" yelled a demon.
"I'm just here for a package... Do you mind if we take it?" Kay asked.
"Get away from here, you stupid human!"
"Ouch, that hurt," Kay said, faking emotional stress. She put a hand up to her forehead and sighed, smiling all the while.
"Are you mocking us?"
"So what if I am?"
"AGH!" yelled a demon as he ran towards her, getting ready to attack.
Kay smirked and dodged his attack, and also kicked him hard in the groin, making him fall over, twitching in pain. The other wolf demons and wolves growled and they started to run towards Kay, but Charlie stepped in front of her, transforming and growling right back at them.
"AH! GIANT DOG! HIDE!"
Kay smirked and looked towards the back of the cave to see Michelle standing there, laughing at the poor little wolves.
"They... are... so... stupid!" Michelle said, gasping for breath and clutching her stomach. She got herself together and she walked over to Kay.
"Why didn't you use your telepathy to get out?" Kay asked Michelle.
"After I got away from them, what was I supposed to do? They can run faster than me," Michelle answered.
"I have a feeling you didn't even think of that option," Kay said, smirking.
Michelle didn't speak.
"Well, I got away from Naraku," Kay said, raising an eyebrow.
"I guess we didn't have to come here after all, Sango. Kay seems to have it covered," said the familiar voice of a certain monk.
Sango ignored Miroku and said, "How did you guys get here before us?"
Kay turned around to see Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara standing in the front of the cave, looking like they were swindled out of something. Though Miroku's hand still slowly went towards Sango's bottom.
A loud smack echoed through the cave and Miroku had a brand new hand print on his face. "You'd think the twenty times he did that on Kirara would be enough," muttered Sango.
"He never learns," Shippo said, closing his eyes and shaking his head.
"Well, Charlie might be able to go faster than Kirara, and they found me rather quickly," Kay said, talking about how Charlie had rushed in the castle so fast, he looked like he was being chased by lion.
"Can we leave? Now? Before Kouga gets back?" Michelle asked impatiently.
"You are so impatient," Kay said, walking towards the entrance of the cave.
"Hey, Kay?" asked Michelle. Kay turned her head a little bit. "Where did you get that, um... What was it? Oh yeah! Where'd you get the kimono?"
"Sesshomaru gave me some," Kay said casually.
"That moron with a stick up his ass!"
"Yes, he did," Kay said. She walked out of the cave, getting very wet by going through the waterfall, and picked up her bag. The others followed and they set off on top of Kirara and Charlie, looking for InuYasha and Kagome on the ground.
Charlie looked around from the sky, Kirara next to him and the others looking around also. Soon they saw InuYasha and Kouga, dukeing it out, and Kay smirked. She cleared her throat and then yelled down to them, "InuYasha! We gotta go! Quit playin' with that kid and get over here!"
- - -
InuYasha looked up and narrowly avoided an attack from Kouga. Well, it was getting a little bit dangerous. They should leave.
InuYasha grabbed Kagome and ignored her protests, running after the flying animals. InuYasha jumped up and felt fur under his feet, knowing that Charlie had moved under them so they would be safe.
"Don't do that, Charlie! I almost fell off!" Kay yelled, glaring at Charlie's head.
Sorry, Charlie answered, projecting his thoughts for everyone to hear.
Kay sighed and rolled her eyes, messing up Charlie's hair on the top of his head.
"So, Sesshomaru gave you that kimono?" Michelle asked, still stunned by that little piece of information.
"Yes! He did! Now will you quit bugging me about it!" Kay yelled, glaring at Michelle.
"What!" InuYasha said, sitting down on Charlie's back. "Sesshomaru gave you that kimono!"
"YEAH! HE DID! NOW BE QUIET OR DIE!" Kay yelled, looking more fierce than Kagome when she saw InuYasha with Kikyo. Everyone shrunk back in their seats after she said that.

Next time: Michelle becomes suspicious of what really happened at Sesshomaru's castle. When the group gets to Kaede's Village, Kagome goes home and gives the two girls a jewel shard to see if they can go through the well.
Michelle: ... I HATE YOU, YOU BITCH!
Kay: Baka.
Michelle: Huh?
Kay: Oh, I watched the InuYasha movie today, and then I watched it in Japanese. (AN: The date that I'm writing this is 10-6-05)
Michelle: What other words did you learn?
Kay: How to pronounce words that I learned on Like oswari (sp?), arigato, gomen, baka, and some suffixes, like -sama and -chan.
Michelle: And those words mean?
Kay: Sit, thank you, sorry, idiot/stupid, and then -sama is Lord or Lady and -chan is for a friend.
Michelle: Oh.
Kay: And it was really weird hearing InuYasha's voice so different. It was higher and more feminine. And Miroku's was deeper. And Shippo's more childlike. Kagome's was higher pitched, and the only one that was almost the same was Sango's.
Michelle: I still hate you for making me kiss Kouga, though.
Kay: I'm used to that by now.
Michelle: Well, next time, I get angry--
Kay: That's different, how?
Michelle: -- in I'm NOT wearing THAT
Note: I forgot to say, thanks for all the reviews, even if there were only two of them... And I figured out how to find the stats without help, and now I feel like a fool. Oh well. I'll just read my ego-boosting reviews! . Make sure to review if you've read this far! I also made the mistake of copying and pasting my chapter last time and copied it over itself, because I didn't want to fix all the HTML. All of my HTML becomes incomplete when I move the chapters onto the internet (EX. all the bold HTML becomes b and /b) so I tried to copy and paste them. Well, I didn't have all those 'paragraph' HTML things, so it was all bunched up together.
