Not Quite Right
Chapter 2: Fighting… we can't all be good at it
In a matter of moments after everyone was prepared to fight, the demon showed it's self. It was huge, bigger then any beasts Kouga had ever seen, and it was… purple. Purple fur coated it, its eyes glowed a bright blue.
It wasn't very evil looking… or very threatening. Oh how wrong Kouga was in thinking this. When it saw them it hissed and said.
"What are you doing on my land?"
"What ever the hell we want!" Inu-yasha yelled, getting ready to slice this thing in two.
Kagome looked up at it, her eyes fierce. Kouga smiled. She was ready to battle, and she'd be good at it. He knew it. He'd seen her shoot her arrows before. They were deadly with the scared powers on them.
"Kagome, do you see any jewel shards?" Inu-yasha asked, a glare set on the beast.
"No, he doesn't have any." Kagome said.
The attack began with Inu-yasha running up to the beast. Quickly he drew up his sword, the moment he got close enough he called to out the deadly Wind Scar. Invoking it's power. The beast screamed in pain, as it's arm was ripped off, and fell to the ground.
Kouga smiled. This creature was so weak it was even making Inu-yasha look good. That's when the arm began shaking. Harder and harder. Until finally it shoot up. Reconnecting with the demons body.
"It'll take more then that to kill me!" The beast roared as he shoot a fist Inu-yasha way.
Inu-yasha went flying back, as the fist connected. Stunned from shock, Inu-yasha hadn't been able to move away in time. Kagome lifted her arrow to attack, knowing that her pure arrow would put a stop to the beast.
She pulled the string back and let go. The arrow had no light of purity around it, and it feel to the ground three feet away from Kagome.
"What happened?" Kouga yelled to her, shocking over coming him.
"Well… I guess since there was no jewel shard my arrow couldn't hit the demon… my aim never was very good…"
"What about the scared part of you scared arrow?" He yelled becoming angrier ever second.
"Well… I've never really been trained as a priestess, it just kinda… happens." Kagome said giving him a clueless smile.
"Kagome watch out!" Inu-yasha yelled as he ran forward, grabbing her in his arms, as the demons fist came down where she was standing.
Inu-yasha set her down far out of the way of the battle.
"You stay here… that way you won't get hurt." He told her going back to fight.
Kagome nodded that smile on her face. As she watched him go to battle. Kouga walked over to her, confusion in his eyes. Why didn't she fight back? Ask him to let her fight? Kouga kept wondering. Kagome saw his confusion and smiled.
"I'm always put on the side, unless they need help with the jewel shards." She told him, not really caring she was put on the side. Kouga just shook his head, he thought she'd be a lot strong then that.
Inu-yasha and Sango began attacking the demon together. Sango from the air on Kirara, while Inu-yasha attacked from the ground, or where he just happened to be jumping at that moment.
"Inu-yasha, Sango!" Miroku called. "I know of these kinds of demons. You need to attack them at their heart. That's the only weak spot!" Miroku cried up to them, hoping they had both heard. "It'll make it so he can't reform again."
Miroku was standing on the side. His hand on his wrist. Hoping he wasn't forced to take out the deadly wind tunnel.
Sango nodded as she heard what he said. "Hiraikotsu" She called, throwing the massive boomerang at the demons heart. Luckily enough for them, she hit him. Pain rushed through the beast as he looked at her hatefully.
"Die mortal!" He called, raising his hand to attack her. Unknowingly he had just sealed his fate.
"Wind Scar!" Inu-yasha called, the attack cutting the beast in two.
Kouga watched this and realized that he had been mistaken in what he thought about Sango. She had been just as strong, and just as brave, as any demon he had seen fight. In a matter of fact, she fought better then Kagome. Much better. In a matter of fact the fox fought better then Kagome.
Sango had dealt with the beast easily. After the monk had told her the weak spot, she hadn't hesitated, with throwing the massive boomerang. Kouga didn't know if he'd be able to throw that thing, as well as she did. He noticed a sword on her, just in case the boomerang was lost, or so he guessed.
"Kagome… may we speak?" Kouga asked her, trying to be polite.
"Of course Kouga. Come on, let's go talk privately." She said to her friends, glaring at Inu-yasha. As they went out in the forest Kagome smiled.
"What is it Kouga?"
"Well… I noticed you weren't much use in today's fight…" He commented, silently.
Kagome stared at him for the longest time before she let out a small laugh. It wasn't actually a laugh more like a chuckle or something like that. Kouga looked at her oddly. He wasn't used to her acting like this.
"I'm never much use, I mean sure, I have the scared arrows but that's all. Miroku has the wind tunnel, Inu-yasha has sword, Shippo has fox magic, Kirara is a flying cat demon, and Sango a demon exterminator. I mean can I really compete to that?"
Kouga stared at Kagome. She thought all of her friends were better fighters then her, and at this point he was starting to agree. She didn't even try to fight, other then that one time. It seemed kind of pointless to carry her around. Then again she could still sense the jewel shards, had great 'medicine', and also she was kind to everyone she meet and knew. She still seemed like a… okay… mate to Kouga.
He hadn't known about Sango being a Demon Exterminator though. I mean here she was traveling with demons. What would lead an Exterminator to do that? Maybe she hated Naraku, or her family wanted her to kill him. Weren't humans her age suppose to be married with kids by now?
Kouga had so many questions, though he voiced none of them. He didn't know what came over him. He had never cared before now. I mean, of course he noticed that body before what male would ignore it? That monk liked it well enough…
Kouga tried turning his thoughts to Kagome, and all that he kept thinking about was her fighting skills, which were nothing and her scent. He masked scent that he would never truly know what it smelled like.
Sango on the other hand was a great fighter. She had a back round of fighting too. A Demon Exterminator would have been taught to fight since day one. They'd have to be in extremely good shape, to keep up with demons, who would usually be much faster and stronger.
She was strong on the battle field. She didn't flinch at all, not even for a moment. She wasn't surprised by the beast's size, or strength. She was surprised about the regeneration, but so was Kouga. In fact everyone had been shocked… other then the demon it's self.
Kagome had gotten up and left moments before. About the time he had started to ignore her. Kouga lay in a grassy field, his eyes closed as he thought about the day. Suddenly his stomach growled. Time to go back to camp… Kouga thought, feeling as though he was starving.
When he got their, he could smell the food. Inu-yasha was eating some noodles out of an odd looking container, as was everyone else. One more of them sat waiting for Kouga.
"What is this…?" Kouga asked looking at it.
"It's called Ramen." Kagome told him with a smile. "It's a food from my time, it's really good you should try it."
Kouga picked at his food for a moment before Inu-yasha spoke up.
"Hasn't your mom, ever taught you not to play with your food?" Inu-yasha asked him, his mouth still full. "Oh, wait wolves don't have manners."
"I think your thinking about dogs." Kouga said growling.
"Now, now you two, please. Calm down, and eat." Kagome told them shaking her head.
Soon they all lay down to sleep. Kagome and Shippo were both in a blue sleeping bag, while the monk leaned against a tree to sleep. Inu-yasha was perched in a high tree branch while Sango choose to sleep in the other sleeping bag.
Kouga watched her for a little while, and then as he drifted into sleep, he had one thought.
What do you smell like, Sango
End of chapter 2.
Preview for Chapter 3. They all went back to Kaede's village. Kagome wants to go home and Inu-yasha doesn't want her to go. When a fight erupts, what will Kouga find out about his mate to be? Will Kouga find out what Sango smells like?
