Thank you for all the reviews! I 33 you guys! There will be lots of fluff later considering how I am the biggest romance freak ever to live. Also, I don't know if I'll do a Lemon…kind of shy to write stuff like that…but it's up to you guys, I'll let you guys vote.
needs a disclaimer—Angel doesn't own Inuyasha. I wish I did...really…
To Love Another Prince
Rescue
Inuyasha hadn't slept in over two days. Day and night he traveled through forests, small towns, and other unknown places.
He had heard from other villagers that the lord and his army were out looking for the kidnapped girl. His heart fell to the ground and that was when he knew he wanted to be the one to save her. He wanted to be her hero and not his dumb brother.
His body looked wrecked and tired. He was only in his red pants and a white long sleeved shirt that was torn up. His hair was still perfect though, and he looked like a true god hero in many girls' eyes as he passed them.
He entered a small village that was located not too far from the actual wolves hiding place. He asked a few people if they had any encounters with wolves, and that's when people responded. "Those damned devils come here almost every week and take at least 5 of our people!" An old man shouted.
Inuyasha smiled and knew he was close. Those wolves were pretty smart in some cases though. They had hid their senses so Inuyasha's nose was no good in the search for Kagome.
"Don't worry, we are taking care of the lands right now and we'll have those shit heads out of our territory in no time." Inuyasha responded.
A few girls off to the distant cheered at his promising words. Before Inuyasha headed off, the old man from before had said, "I think you should speak to my granddaughter, she actually came across their hiding place not too long ago. Got away safely I might add."
Any clue on Kagome's whereabouts was all that mattered to him. He followed the old man into a nearby cottage and called for his granddaughter, "Kasusandera!"
A girl, not too older than him, walked outside to greet him. "Hello, how may I help you?"
"Your old man here says you know where the wolves are located." Inuyasha said sounding hopefully.
The girl nodded while playing with her short black hair. The girl was shy no doubt, but he was going to get answers. "Yes, yes sir I do."
"Can you tell me where?"
The girl bit her lip, trying to think of the instructions. "I believe you go about 20 miles west from here, and then you'll come across a waterfall. From there, climb up the waterfall and then head north for about another ten miles. Take a right at the bridge then there will be a mountain about 6.5 miles ahead of you and that's where they are staying. You can't miss it!"
Inuyasha sweat dropped while wondering what she was doing up there.
The girl, seeing his expression said, "I collect herbs and they have the best herbs there."
"Oh, okay. That makes sense." Inuyasha said and bid a farewell to the two. Now that he knew where Kagome was…he was going to get there and save her.

Kouga had entered the cave around dawn that evening. He looked around and didn't see Kagome anywhere. When he spotted her, she was tending a child wolf's paw that he had scraped earlier while playing.
He leaned back and watched his beloved future mate. He had planned on taking her tonight, and then she shall be all his. He licked his lips and walked up to the human.
She turned around and saw Kouga walking up towards her. She told the kid to go ahead and play and she stood straight up as he walked towards her. When people looked at the poor human girl, they saw her with many cuts on her arms, a scrape on her cheek, and her clothes were torn.
"My dear Kagome, you do not have to be afraid of me. Tonight, we shall become one and we'll have no secrets to keep."
Kagome felt like throwing up. The past two days weren't so bad, unless Kouga was there. He had tried to kiss her, feel her, but failed, as she didn't let him. Instead, he voluntarily kicked her, cut her, and hit her.
"Let's go outside and walk around for a while." Kouga said grabbing her shoulder. He then turned around and spoke to his wolves, "Since everyone knows tonight is the night, I will let every one of you go to town and feast yourselves on the nice human flesh!"
The wolves wagged their tails and all ran off, leaving the two alone. "I have somewhere to take you."
She struggled for the first 10 minutes of their walking, but died down as Kouga gripped her throat with his claws.
About an hour later, they entered a nice area where they were on the bottom of a waterfall. He had ordered her to sit on a large rock and she did as she was told.
"Aren't you excited? We'll be mated in less than 5 minutes."
With that said, he pounced on Kagome and she screamed out. He had kissed her several times and he was already making his way for her breasts. He licked her neck, which caused her to scream.
'Inu…yasha…help me!"
Kagome kicked a few times, but he put his knees on hers to prevent her from kicking. He managed to get the front part of her blouse off, but the corset still covered most of her flesh. "Why do you damn girls wear these things?" Kouga growled, as he was about to slice it off of her.
"To keep filthy hands like yours off of me!" Kagome screamed.
Kouga slapped Kagome in the face and put his hand around her neck. "Now you shut up before you get hurt little girl. Not physically, but emotionally. I know your friends back at the castle, and I will make sure they will have a painful death."
She finally gave up after a few seconds. She wasn't going to let her friends get hurt because of her selfishness of not wanting to mate with the demon. Right before he ripped her front part, Kouga's weight parted from her. She had her eyes closed and heard a few punching and growling. When she opened them, she saw someone who she was wishing for.
"You damn bastard! What were you doing to Kagome?" Inuyasha growled.
Kouga looked confused, "Why are you saving her? Where is that damn fool you call Sesshoumaru! I want to fight a REAL demon, not some half breed!"
Inuyasha then growled and punched Kouga in the face.
Kagome looked horrified at what she saw, but couldn't keep her eyes off the hanyou. His body was moving so smoothly, like he was made to fight. He kept his attacks perfect, and damn how that brought shaking to her knees.
Kouga on the other hand, was not doing so good. He had lost most of his strength and was getting pretty beat up. Kouga had successfully cut some parts of Inuyasha's body, but that didn't slow him down.
When Kagome snapped out of her trance, she realized Inuyasha's firing eyes. It looked like he had no intention on stopping till his prey was dead and chopped. She tried to scream, but nothing came out.
Though Kagome could not yell, she recovered from her paralyzed state and rushed to the two and pushed Kouga out of the way.
"Why the hell did you do that BITCH?" Inuyasha yelled at the girl.
Her eyes filled up with tears and she slapped Inuyasha. "Snap out of it Inuyasha! You were trying to kill a MAN!"
"For your information, this THING is a demon who wanted to rape you! Or wait, did you want him to do it willingly?"
Kagome's eyes grew angry, and then she softened her eyes, "Please Inuyasha…stop. Let's go home."
Kouga, who was recovering from getting up, smelled blood that was upon a village some 20 miles from there.
"My…my tribe! I smell their blood! Who, wait! You were the one who sent your soldiers out to kill them, didn't you!" Kouga screamed at Inuyasha.
"Feh, I came alone. Whoever killed your tribe is not my concern. Now, leave this place at once before I kill you."
Kouga saw Inuyasha's eyes starting to get red, and he 'humphed' and turned away. "My tribe needs me. Don't worry Kagome, I'll come back for you…don't worry."
"She will not go with you ever again, I WILL MAKE SURE OF THAT." Inuyasha warned.
Kouga ignored the half demon and ran away from them. Kouga's speed was magnificent; he made a tornado like wind around him. He really didn't have time to mess with a hanyou. Kouga came to agree, his tribe was in danger.
Inuyasha pulled off his torn shirt and handed it to Kagome. "Here you go, you wouldn't want your chest to be exposed to the whole world."
Kagome looked down at her corset and blushed as Kouga had indeed ripped the front part of it.
"Thanks." Kagome said covering her chest.
Inuyasha picked Kagome up and put her on his back, "You are beaten badly, let's go find somewhere to wash you off."
Kagome nodded, "That sounds good right now."
--
Kouga stopped when he saw his fine trained wolves on the ground, dead. He looked around the village, but all the people seemed to be deserted and he had smelled something that disturbed him…dog.
He picked up some dirt and smelled it. "Definitely dog." He said out loud.
"Yes my lord!" A wolf said as he and a partner ran up to them.
"Ginta? Hakkaku? Why the hell are you guys alive?"
"Glad to see you too my lord…" Ginta grumbled.
Kouga walked up to the two and put both his hands on each of their shoulders. "I'm going to get my revenge with those damn mutts and get my bitch back from the stupid half breed." Kouga then smiled, "For my tribe, I mean…I will revenge."

"Please Inuyasha? This town is very close to the castle and I want a hot spring bath! Please?" Kagome pouted.
Two hours passed, and Inuyasha walked slowly so he wouldn't hurt Kagome more than she already was. Inuyasha had told Kagome that he would just take her back to the castle to get washed up, but Kagome saw a hot spring and couldn't resist.
"Fine, but make it quick." Inuyasha said and put her down.
She limped towards the hot springs and looked back to Inuyasha, "Come here."
"I'm not getting in with you if that's what you're hinting." Inuyasha joked.
Kagome rolled her eyes and pointed to the ground, "Sit right there and face your back towards me."
Inuyasha crossed his arms, "Why?"
Kagome looked at the ground sadly, "I don't want you to leave me."
Inuyasha stared at Kagome and she didn't lift her head. He walked up towards her and lifted it for her, "Kagome, I made a stupid mistake on not protecting you. I will never leave you again."
Kagome shed a tear and nodded, "Thank you Inuyasha, that means a lot to me." She tiptoed and kissed his cheek. "I knew you would rescue me."
Inuyasha blushed, "Feh." He turned his back and sat on the ground, "Hurry up."
Kagome smiled and striped down and got into the water. "Oh this feels good, I felt like I was growing another layer of skin from all that dirt."
"Attractive." Inuyasha said.
He heard Kagome starting to swim around and he blushed again when he knew she was bare naked behind him. Images started coming into his mind and he shook it off as he knew she wasn't his.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered behind Inuyasha.
"..Yeah?"
"Thank you for saving me." Kagome said.
Inuyasha had the sudden urge to turn around and embrace the girl, not caring if she were clothed or not.
"It was no problem, my brother would have killed me if I didn't."
Kagome's eyes saddened and she turned around, away from him. "Oh."
She wanted to cry again. He only saved her because his brother would have killed him? Was that all? She didn't know why, but it broke her heart that he didn't do it on his own free will.
"I'm done, let me just dry myself off."
Kagome got out of the water and put her clothes back on. She combed her hair with her fingers till all the knots were out.
"Ready yet?" Inuyasha said sounding impatiently.
Kagome sat down behind him and put her back against his own. "Yeah…I just want to enjoy my freedom for another 10 minutes."
He felt her head lean against his own and felt her body starting to get more comfortable. "Freedom?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome had closed her eyes, but still answered, "With Sesshoumaru giving us orders, and not letting us go anywhere, we can't have another moment like this for the rest of our lives."
Kagome then felt Inuyasha's back relax, "That's true. He's just a stubborn guy."
"Yeah, and serious on top of that. I really want to marry my true love, but I want to make my family happy…that's all that matters right?" Kagome said opening her eyes.
"No, you do what makes you happy Kagome…wait, you aren't marrying Sesshoumaru by choice?" Inuyasha realized.
"Oh it was a choice, I chose to move to the castle because it will bring my family honor and respect. My family never has had that."
Inuyasha had gotten up and Kagome fell back from the loss of his support. "Hey, I was comfortable!"
Inuyasha pulled Kagome up, "Kagome, if you want to leave so badly…. I'm giving you permission to go."
"Go? What do you mean?" Kagome said confusingly.
"I'm giving you the choice to go have your freedom, or to go back in the castle and be miserable…. it's your choice."

Lol…I bet everyone knows the answer to her decision! Yes, this is an I+K fic, and I intend to keep it that way! Everyone knows I heart Sesshoumaru, so he is NOT a bad guy….really…sometimes….okay I need to stop and go to bed.
