To Love Another Prince
Protecting
When Kagome woke up the next day, she had found herself curled up on the red chair. She remembered Inuyasha being next to her the night before, but he was nowhere to be found. The fire had died down and a blanket replaced Inuyasha's warmth.
She closed her eyes and heard silence throughout the castle. Tears started forming when she realized Inuyasha probably left by being disgusted by waking up near her. She then heard footsteps approaching the steps and she was up in an instance.
"Miss Kagome! There you are! Where have you been?" Rin shouted when she came through the doors.
"I fell asleep while reading." She lied. "Where's Inuyasha?"
"It's bad Kagome! We have invaders in the castle right now! Inuyasha is battling most of them and…"
Kagome's eyes widened and realized Inuyasha could be in danger. "Where is this happening right now?"
"In the garden, but please miss I would advise you to stay in here!" Rin screamed, but it was too late; Kagome had run out the door.
Inuyasha had fought three wolf demons that tried to enter the palace. All of the guards were passed out, and Inuyasha was left to fight them alone. He had easily slashed two wolves, but the other took more time to kill. Once he was done, a lady in the castle screamed.
Smelling blood, he ran into the castle and found a servant girl slashed to death. He then heard another scream and saw Kagome covering her eyes so she wouldn't witness the bloody corpse.
"Kagome! What are you doing down here?" Inuyasha walked towards Kagome and pulled her in an embrace.
"I came to—see you. What's happening Inuyasha?" Kagome said as she closed her eyes and gripped Inuyasha's shirt.
"There isn't much time Kagome, follow me." He led her to Sango's room and literally pushed her inside the door and locked it.
"Hey! What's the big idea?" Kagome yelled from the other side of the door.
"You are in danger, and I want Kohaku and Sango to protect you!" He yelled.
Kagome heard Inuyasha run off. She slid down the door and Sango was there in an instance to comfort her.

"This spell better hide my scent bitch." Kouga, the prince of wolves yelled.
The female wolf, Ayame, nodded and didn't say anything to Kouga's rude comment. Ayame was one of Kouga's followers and she had red hair that was tied in pigtails and her green eyes were full of worry. "Let's just hope Inuyasha doesn't find us. Let's just kill the girl and get over with it." Ayame announced.
Kouga turned towards the female demon, "Do you think I'm scared of that dog shit? I can take him in one swing!"
"Sorry I asked my lord." Ayame said quietly.
They stopped in front of a door and Ayame nodded, "This is it."
"Why do you even talk Ayame? Of course I know this is it." Kouga snorted.
He twisted the doorknob and found it locked. He growled and pushed the door and it broke open.
"Which one is Kagome?" Kouga shouted at the two girls as he approached in.
Kohaku managed his way behind Kouga and yelled, "Get away from them!"
Kohaku had grabbed a lamp and tried to hit Kouga's head with it, but he dodged it easily and punched Kohaku. Kohaku went flying through the air and landed next to Sango and Kagome who were curled up in the corner of the room.
"Kohaku!" Sango screamed and pulled her little brother close to her, "Don't you dare touch him!"
Sango handed Kohaku to Kagome and got up, put her hands on her hips and asked, "Want to you want with Kagome anyhow"? Sango glared, "I'm Kagome anyways."
Kouga rolled his eyes, "You can't be Kagome you bitch, you reek of a child and its scent is full human." He then slowly started walking towards Sango. " Now, we all know Kagome is engaged to a demon, so let's not start anything or I will kill you and your baby in an instant."
Sango's eyes traveled over to Kagome who was trying to wake Kohaku up. "Sango, please don't danger you and your child, sit down."
Sango didn't protest and sat back on the floor. Kouga then walked up to Sango and kicked her stomach. Sango screamed and Kagome had swung her body at him and tried to fight him.
Kouga fell backwards and Kagome grabbed his long ponytail and pulled on it as hard as she could.
"Kouga! Inuyasha is coming upstairs, let's go!" Ayame yelled.
Kouga tried to choke her, but she kept kicking him and pulling him. He finally gave up and picked up the girl. "Let's jump out the window!"
"Out the what? Let go of me! You smell and—" Kagome's voice faded as they jumped out the window. Ayame had followed a second later.
Inuyasha ran into the door a second later and found Kohaku and Sango out cold. He yelled for the servants to come help, but he remembered the intruders killed most of the servants.
Rin though, came running in after Inuyasha had yelled, "Oh! Are they okay?" She ran to both of them and checked their pulses, "They're alive, thank goodness! I'll treat them for you."
"Rin." Inuyasha said in a bare whisper.
"Yes your highness?"
"Kagome…where is she?"
Rin eyes opened wider and realized where Inuyasha was going at.
"I'm going after them. Make sure Sango's baby is alright." Inuyasha said and jumped out the window.
--
Inuyasha growled as he ran through the forest. How stupid was he to let her be guarded by a pregnant woman and a child? All their strongest men were fighting; and the guards didn't make any effort to actually guard the princess.
He couldn't find her scent anywhere, and all he could smell was the blood that was back at the castle.
'I'm going to find Kagome, whether she likes it or not…that damn wench.'

A few hours later, Kagome found herself sitting down in a small cave where 20 wolves were staring hungrily at her. She saw the two wolves that kidnapped her earlier, arguing about something. Though her human ears could not make out the conversation, she knew it was about her.
The man that had kidnapped her was no doubt handsome. He was fine built, with green eyes and long black hair that was tied into a ponytail. The thing that feared her though, was the evil look he gave her which sent shivers up her spine.
Kouga finally saw the human girl moving around and walked away from the angry demon girl. Kagome had gotten up, but saw how all the wolves got ready to pounce on her.
"You stupid little girl. I could have killed you any time, but I figured my tribe needed supper for tonight." The wolves howled in approval.
Kagome, seeing that she was in big trouble, rolled her eyes and thought of a plan. "Why don't you admit you couldn't kill a girl like me? I was too much for you and you couldn't handle it!"
Kouga was instantly in front of Kagome, ready to growl. "I dare you to say that again bitch."
Kouga coughed, "Why don't you get some breath mints first. Anyways, I can fight you right here and now if I wanted to."
Kouga heard a few laughs within his men and quickly growled at Kagome. Showing no fear of hint, Kouga stopped and smiled. A few gasps were heard and Kagome looked around nervously now.
"No wonder Sesshoumaru picked a human girl. You have guts girl." Kouga said as he started to circle her. "Nice body to."
Kagome blushed, "Stop that!"
Kouga then stopped behind Kagome and caressed his finger against her neck. "Being mated with you will bring fine pups in the future. Kagome, forget Sesshoumaru and come with me."
Kagome made a disgusted look in her face and slapped him. "Why is everyone saying what I should and shouldn't do? Huh? Can't I choose what I want for the first time in my life?" Kagome sighed, "I guess I'm just a plain girl who is going to be men slaved for the rest of my life."
Kouga shook his head, "Why no my dear, when we're mated I'll let you choose the name of our pups."
Kagome gagged. The word 'mated' didn't seem appealing with Kouga, let alone Sesshoumaru. Of course she was still a virgin, but she knew what mating meant in the world of demon laws.
Kouga jumped on a rock that was placed in the middle of the floor and announced, "Okay! Listen up everyone! If anyone is to touch my future mate, I SWEAR you'll not live to see another day!"
Kagome groaned. Just great, another fiancée to add to her list.

Rin heard a knock on the door and placed a wet cloth down next to Sango and proceeded to answer the door.
"Who is this? It better not be another wolf!" Rin said dumbly.
"Rin? Okay I don't know who you are but open this door NOW." A voice said from the other side.
"If you don't know me then you're an intruder! I'm going to scream!" Rin warned.
The door was then broken for the second time of the day. "Hey! I just fixed it! Why you—oh…."
Sesshoumaru had entered the door and sniffed around. "This is the last place I traced Kagome's scent." He then saw Sango and her brother unconscious on the futons. "What happened here?"
"Well there was some wolf demons and—"
"I know there were wolf demons here. Did they get to them?" Sesshoumaru said crossing his arms.
"Yes. And oh! They kidnapped Kagome and Inuyasha went after her." Rin said cheerfully.
"What? No wonder I didn't get her scent! Why that little SHITFACE! How could he not look after my FUTURE WIFE?"
"You mean Inuyasha?"
Sesshoumaru walked around the room trying to find a solution. "No wonder the wolves retreated from the battle. They think they can get the best of me, huh?"
Rin lifted her shoulders to show she didn't know. "Well if you want to know, Sango's baby is alright!"
Sesshoumaru didn't pay attention to the little bubbly girl. "I can't leave the troops to go after Kagome. DAMN IT TO HELL!"
Rin covered her innocent ears as he cursed. Once he was done she spoke, "Inuyasha is out to get her, I'm pretty sure everything is going to be just fine!"
That made Sesshoumaru boil. He was that human's future husband and he couldn't be there to save her.
"Rin, we're going to go after Kagome. I'm going to gather all the troops and we're going to go get her this once. I'm going to settle things between that damn wolf prince and me.
"Okay? Why are you telling me this?" Rin said confusingly.
"Men are getting injured and we need someone to care for them. You'll be their nurse."
Rin shook her head, "Can't. Sango and Kohaku need to be taken care of."
"I have that under control. Let's go, we leave immediately."

Authors note:
Okay so that was very short. I put Rin to be Kagome's age because I decided to use her in the future…but I'm not going to spoil it xD
