Disclaimer: Umm… do any of us REALLY own him? No… I think not.

Okay! It's taken me a while to think of this chapter but I'll do my best! Work with me here people!

The leader of the wolf demons stirred in his sleep. The sharp smell of hay, fur, sweat and blood filled his nostrils. His crystallized blue eyes fluttered open; he had this feeling that something… was terribly wrong. The sun's rays were bleaching the doorway of the cave, filled with wolves and other wolf demons. Ginta and Hahakku were sleeping near the other wolves, and were mumbling something about macaroni and cheese. A low growl rumbled out of his chest- awakening the other wolves- and he abruptly stood up. Ginta rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and yawned.

"What's going on Kouga?" Hahakku rolled over in annoyance.

"Whatever it is, can it wait until later?"

Kouga's growl grew deeper and his tail twitched along with his nose. Slowly he realized whose blood it was, his eyes grew large and he darted out of the cave.

"That lousy mutt!"

Ginta and Hahakku looked at each other and they both simultaneously screamed: "Wait for us, Kouga!"

The sun grazed the trees with light, slowly creeping up to the slumbering hanyou high in the treetops. The leaves around him rustled in the warm breeze and his long silver hair flowed in the wind behind him. Everything about the scene looked so peaceful. His eyebrows rose, and his ears twitched, hearing someone approaching. The curtains in front of the amber pools lifted, and he put one hand on his sword as he leaned up. A deep growl bellowed out from his throat, and he gracefully leaped out of his perch to "Welcome" the uninvited whirlwind.

The grayish tornado disintegrated, revealing Kouga's I'm-so-pissed-of-at-you-right-now look.

"What do YOU want wolf?"

Kouga's lip twitched above his gritting teeth, and Inuyasha just got more pissed off.

"What happened to Kagome, mutt? I smell her blood all over the place. Did you let her get KILLED!"

"What makes you think I did that!"

"Her blood is everywhere! I'd take an idiot not to smell it! Oh, I forgot you stupid mutt!"

"Shut the hell up Kouga!"

"How could you let MY Kagome die! She was MY woman! I should-"

"She wasn't your damn woman!"

"Shut-up dogface, I'm going to kill you for what you let happen!"

"What, you think I WANTED this to happen? How stupid are you?"

"Not nearly as stupid as you are muttface!"

Inuyasha unsheathed the Testsaiga, and Kouga charged at him with great force- considering the jewel shards embedded in his shins. He threw up the blade in order to block the kick that was threatening to rearrange his face. (NO! His perfect face!) He slid back but remained grounded, Kouga jumped down and Inuyasha came after him with his sword. He held back the over-sized sword and they continued their argument.

"You stupid, stupid, STUPID MUTT!"

"You're one to talk! Going around claiming Kagome is YOUR woman when she clearly has NO FEELINGS FOR YOU WHATSOEVER!"

"How do you know! I love her more than she could EVER love someone else!"

"I just know, alright! It's not like she actually AGREED to be your woman!"

"Why wouldn't she! I'm a powerful FULL DEMON! Unlike you, you lousy mutt, I'd protect her from danger!"

"You don't think I tried to save her! You think I WANTED her to die! Yeah Kouga, I planed this from the beginning!"

"I don't care! All I know is my woman is DEAD!"

"SHE. ISN'T. YOUR. DAMN. WOMAN!" (Rrrr… Haha)

"Well she sure as hell wasn't YOURS muttface!"

"Well I-" He stopped; pulled back all his force and put the Testsaiga back in the scabbard. The arms that were weak from battle crossed over his chest, and he smirked at the idiot. "If you only knew… She is wolf. She told me herself. That's why she waited for me before she died. It's why she's still waiting for me. She never loved you Kouga… but Ayame does."

"What the, Kagome? Ayame? You stupid mutt." Kouga's rambling got too incomprehensible after that. Inuyasha walked away with the wind in his hair, looking up towards the sky. He loved Kagome and she loved him back. But Kouga… He loved Kagome but she was too nice and considerate to break his heart. She loved Inuyasha… not Kouga; and Inuyasha was the only one who would be able to tell him. He couldn't tell him though; he thought she liked Kouga, when in reality she liked him. The hanyou with no money, home or life in general; over Kouga: The powerful youkai with a title, and a home. Why did she love him though? (Oooooooohhhhh! Such a dumb question! Who wouldn't love a face like that!) Kagome didn't even know why, but she did… and that was the only thing that mattered.

On he way back to the village his ears and nose perked up again; and the familiar growl echoed outwards. He muttered one single word before jumping off to the annoyance. Would the person he would rather kill himself than ask a favor from be the one to solve everything?

"Sesshomaru…"

PLEASE DON'T HATE ME! I had no idea where to go after this and this one was filled with WAY to much emotion. So there you have it! Oh, don't worry, Kouga's coming back; but not for long. I'm gonna bring him back in the end. (Most likely the very last chapter) So I just hop you all liked this chapter!

Ja!
