Chapter 9

He's changed

I don't own inuyasha

Kagome stood there as kouga held her. She watched as they grabbed his wrist and put the shackles on. Kagome turned towards kouga, and started to defend him. She couldn't just stand back at watch him be hanged.

"Kouga let him go. He wasn't the one that capture me, he made me a promise to get me home safely." She said as they locked the shackles. Inuyasha looked up at her surprised that she was defending him. He thought she was just going to leave him for her rich fiancé.

"Kagome, a promise to a pirate means nothing. He was never going to bring you home." Kouga said putting his hand on her arm.

"why don't you get some rest, I'm sure you didn't sleep much in the company of these bastards." Kouga said as he handed her off to another officer named ginta.

"No, kouga, listen to me…" then inuyasha spoke up.

"Save your breathe kagome, as thick headed as he is, he would never understand the honors of a pirate." At that out burst he was hit in the stomach by the end of hokkau's rifle.

"Inuyasha!" kagome was about to run to him but he shook his head. She knew that she should forget about him but she couldn't. Kouga walked over to inuyasha and kneels down next to him.

"What honor of a pirate? You are just a filthy half-breed thief." Kouga then spit in front of him and walked off.

Kagome looked back at kouga as he walked towards her. She was still being pulled by ginta trying to get her away from them. When kagome looked at kouga she couldn't help but notice that he had changes. Over the days she had been gone he had become more harsh, and angry. She didn't like it.

As she was being pulled into the Inn she saw someone kick inuyasha in the stomach and then start to pick him up roughly to get him to move. Kagome turned away with guilt in her heart. If it wasn't for him she probably would still be in some horny sailor's room, being raped. Or even dead. As soon as she got in the Inn she ran up to her room that they were staying in.

When she entered the room her father was sitting at the table reading. He looked up from his book and smiled, but then whipped it off his face as he saw the expression on kagome's face.

"Oh my, honey what's wrong?" kagome let a tear slip down her face and then ran over and embraced her father.

"Oh father." She then broke down crying on his shoulder. He figured that something must have happened on the ship, or something must have happened when she was found.

"Are you alright, kagome?" kagome whipped her eyes and looked up at him.

"Father, why didn't you tell me that mother was a pirate?" her father looked shocked, but then looked away.

"Inuyasha told me everything. You should have told me!" her father sat her down in the seat across from him and tried to explain.

"I didn't want you to get hurt." Kagome was confused. How would it hurt her?

"Do you remember when you were 13 and got attacked?" kagome nodded, her and inuyasha had just talked about it.

"That was a navy assassin out to kill you, because you had what they call tainted blood the blood of a pirate. I didn't want you to panic." Kagome whipped another tear off of her face.

"But now that I know, inuyasha is going to die, and now I'm worried about him." her father smiled a little.

"You started to care for him didn't you?" kagome looked up at him and slightly nodded.

"He protected me, took care of me. I couldn't help it." her father pulled her into a hug.

"You can never stop from falling in love." Kagome smiled.

"I want to be with him." her father hugged her tight then pulled her away.

"Then I'll help you." kagome kissed her father on the cheek.

"Thank you." her father nodded.

"I'll find out where they are holding him tonight and we can break him out tomorrow." Kagome shook her head.

"I'll get friends to break him out, you don't need to be involved in more then finding out where he is." He father smirked.

"Very well."

Just then there was a knock at the door. Her father walked over and opened it to see kouga standing there.

"Mr. Higurashi, do you mind if I speak with your daughter?" Mr. Higurashi nodded, he then walked him in. He was about to walk out of the door, but before he gave kagome a wink. He was planning to go find inuyasha. When the door closed, kouga went over and pulled kagome into an embrace. She almost flinched at his touched but pushed it down, not wanting to give anything away.

"I've missed you so much kagome." she laid her head on his chest and nodded. He then bent down and caught her lips with his. To kagome it was slightly rough; kouga's lips weren't as soft as inuyasha's. She didn't want to reject him so she just kissed him back. When they broke away kouga smiled.

"God I have missed those lips." Kagome smiled.

"Just my lips?" he smirked and pulled her close again.

"And your scent." When kouga took in a deep intact of her scent his eyes opened wide.

"Why do you smell like that dog shit?" kagome's eyes shot open.

"Did he do something to you? If he did I swear…" kagome shook her head.

"No, kouga he didn't do anything….that I didn't want…" kagome said the last part in a whisper, and luckily kouga was so pissed he didn't hear it.

"Don't tell me you willing got close to him!" kouga yelled as he moved away from her.

"Kouga, what was I suppose to do? Stay with some of the other horny sailors. Inuyasha protected me, he saved my life several times." Kouga rubbed at his eyes.

"I'll disregard it since our wedding is going to be as soon as we get back." kagome turned towards him.

"Am I suppose to be thankful to you for that!" he whipped towards her at her outburst.

"I'm being generous kagome, I could just kill him now!" kagome was getting so angry with him.

"What happened to you? All of a sudden you have just become a totally ass hole!" she yelled in his face. As she did that kouga brought his hand back and slapped her on the face and kagome pulled her hand up to the now stinging cheek. She just looked at him in shock; he didn't even look like it was something wrong.

After pulling herself together she pulled her hand back and was about to slap him back but he caught her hand, so in reflects she pulled her leg up and kneed him in the side. He let go over her arm and she ran out of the room. Kouga quickly got up and chased after her. Kagome ran towards the bar, she figured someone would be there from the ship. She only hoped they would hear or see her. Kagome was half way there when she felt some grab her arm and whip her around. He grabbed her other arm, and kagome was looking up into deep blue eyes.

"You slept with him didn't you? Didn't you!" kagome started to kick and scream. She tried to hit him but he grabbed her arms and held them tight.

"Wasn't I good enough for you?"

"Let go of me!" kagome almost got a hand free but then she felt her body drop to the floor and her arms free. She looked above her and there was sango kneeling next to her, and miroku walking over to the now bleeding kouga.

"What kinda of asshole would attack a defenseless lady like that?" miroku said as he got closer to kouga.

"Back off lowlife. This is between me and her." miroku just stood there as kouga started to stand up.

"No, I'm between you and kagome, so you have to deal with Me." kouga spit off to the side, then looked over at the shaking kagome. She was leaning on sango and holding her arms. Kouga chuckled.

"Fine, I'll let you go tonight kagome, but I'm sure you'll be crawling back to me by morning." He then looked at miroku and walked off. When he was back inside the Inn miroku walked back over to the girls and bent down next to kagome.

"Kagome who was that guy?" kagome sat up and looked at miroku.

"That…that was my fiancé." Kagome said softly. They were both shocked; did kagome always go through that kinda of pain?

"Kagome…" sango said in a soft voice. Kagome shook her head.

"Don't worry about me; we have something else to worry about. Inuyasha was taken by the navy and is going to be killed when we get back to Nagasaki." Sango and miroku looked at each other.

"Do you know where he is being held?" kagome shook her head.

"Not yet, my father is trying to figure that out. But when he does we have to get him out of there." miroku smirked at her.

"We, as in you as well?" kagome shook her head.

"Of course, I got him into this and I want to get him out of It." sango knew where this was going.

"So you're saying you are going to be taking a part in piracy?" kagome rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Yes! You make it sound like I wasn't on that ship for a week." they both just smiled as they stood up next to her.

"Just making sure that you knew what you were getting into." Sango nodded.

"Yeah, because once you do this, you will most likely be marked as a thief, pirate, or even a traitor." Kagome sighed.

"I know the consequences. But I'm willing to risk them, besides inuyasha save my ass many times." Miroku laughed.

"You're even starting to sound like a pirate." They all chuckled, but then heard someone's footsteps behind them.
