Not Quite Right

Chapter 6: Pity is the second step to acceptance…

Sango was right. Everyone had to be up very early, before the sun was even up. Everyone was busy with last minute preparations. Kagome was making sure she had enough medicine, Shippo and Kirara were playing with a plastic blow up ball that Kagome brought back, Miroku was busy groping Sango, and Sango was busy beating Miroku every time he touched her.

The only idle ones were Inu-yasha, who was sitting by a tree, and Kouga who was busy pitting himself. They were only a couple feet apart, yet neither of them fighting. Probably because Kouga was busy thinking, and Inu-yasha didn't want to get sat.

Kouga's eyes had been following Sango since the moment he got up. He fell deeper and deeper into depression every time Miroku touched Sango. Kouga had yet to call her 'his' Sango. He didn't feel like he deserved to call her that.

At that moment one of Miroku's hands reached it's goal resulting in a loud bashing sound. The sound being the result of a giant boomerang hitting Miroku's head.

"Lecherous monk." Sango grumbled as she walked away from Miroku.

Kouga had a frown on his face, it'd been stuck there since the first time Miroku groped her that morning. He couldn't stop the thoughts that came into his mind. Trust me; he would've if he could've.

Watching the monks head get closer and closer to it's goal, Kouga went deep into thought.

She'd never let me touch her like that…

She doesn't let the monk touch her like that

What the hell?

I'm baaaaaaack! It's me Apple!

I thought you didn't want to be here for this…

I don't but I signed this one contract when I was created, and it turns out I have to be here or else they'll get rid of me…

How would they get rid of you?

You don't wanna know…

Why do I have to call you Apple again?

Because apples are tasty!

I thought it was because they were red…

Erm… well… This isn't about my name! It's about you!

No it's not!

Oh yeah? How does it make you feel when the monk gropes Sango?

Like throwing up…

and?

Ripping his head off…

Then why don't you?

Because then Sango would hate me! Plus she doesn't care about me! She wouldn't even let me near her! She and that monk are in love and they both hate me! They have a good reason though… I'm just a dumb 'ol wolf… what can I offer her…

"Kouga, we're ready to go now!" The happy-go-lucky voice of Kagome interrupted his thoughts.

True enough everyone was finally ready. Inu-yasha took his place beside Kagome who had a weird looking thing with her, that she seemed to be sitting on… (her bike). Miroku and Sango were standing by each other, Miroku's hand not even attempting to touch her for once.

"Come on you stupid Wolf let's go!" Inu-yasha snapped. "Do you sense any jewel shards Kagome?"

"I sense one, but it's really far away… I can barely see it." Kagome said, her eyes straining a little to see it.

"What direction?" Inu-yasha asked her simply.

"North." Kagome told him with a big bright smile.

Inu-yasha walked beside Kagome who rode her bike in the front, Shippo ridding in the bike's basket. Kirara was cuddled into Sango's arms, who walked beside Miroku and Kouga.

"Kouga that was amazing, what you did back there." Miroku said after a while of silence.

"What did I do?" Kouga asked looking at the ground, if he looked up he was scared he'd meet Sango's eyes, and then he'd know how much she didn't like him.

"You didn't fight with Inu-yasha. It was amazing! I thought you two would fight every time one of you looked at the other one." Sango told him, attempting but failing, to meet his eyes.

Kouga sighed. He didn't have the energy to fight with Inu-yasha. Not when he knew the love of his life was completely unattainable. He was so depressed it was making him sick.

Miroku walked beside Sango and smiled. "So Kouga, how is your tribe doing?" Miroku asked, he was one of those people who couldn't stand silence.

"Their all doing pretty well, at least they were the last time I was the---" Kouga was saying until he was cut off by laughter.

"You're the Inu-yasha I heard so much of? How sad, I was expecting someone… shall we say… bigger?" A voice said from above them.

Unknown to Kouga they had entered a forest. And the one who was speaking must have been hiding in the trees.

"Inu-yasha! The jewel shard I sensed early! Whoever that is, is the one who has the jewel shard." Kagome exclaimed.

Inu-yasha's the Tetsiuaiga (sorry if spelled wrong, if it is, will you tell me how to spell it?) ready for battle. Sango was already in her demon exterminating outfit, armed with the Hiraikotsu.

Kouga hadn't even smelt the demon, if it was a demon that was. He was a wolf for god's sake! He should've smelt it, even if he was this far into pity.

This pity thing shouldn't have affected my senses at all!

Not true!

What the hell? Apple you tell me what's going on right now!

Well you see, all wolves are like this… when they really fall in love, they have a period where their senses barely work, and they forget to move sometimes… and that time happens to be right now for you!

What!

The good news is IF and only if you survive your almost to the third and final phase until you except it!

"Kagome why didn't you tell me the shard was moving toward us?" Inu-yasha growled at Kagome.

Kagome blushed… "Well I was focusing on something else…"

"What is wrong with you? What the hell is more important then the jewel shards?"

Kagome blushed a deeper red as she thought

You…

"So that's the little wench daddy told me about." The voice, obviously female, said to them.

"Your dad?" Miroku questioned her.

"Yes, perhaps you know him, Naraku?" She asked.

Inu-yasha's eyes were wide. "What? Naraku has a daughter? Or are you just one of his incarnations?"

"Incarnation of course! But once I kill you, daddy said he'd give me whatever I wanted!"

"Why don't you come down here and fight then?" Inu-yasha growled, officially pissed off.

Suddenly a girl hit the ground in front of them. She had long blue hair, that hit about her waist, her eyes were a deep blue, and her face looked as though she was tattooed. Three markings that looked like bubbles were beneath her left eye.

She was extremely pale and had almost the perfect form. She wore almost the exact same thing Yuri wore, except it was blue, to match the rest of her of course. It was amazing she didn't have fins…

The only weapon she had on her looked like a staff. It was a long sliver pole; on the top was a blue crystal, in the shape of a ball. It didn't look like she'd be that hard to beat. At least not for Inu-yasha.

Inu-yasha rolled his eyes. "This is gonna be easy!" He growled beneath his breathe.

Waiting until he saw her demonic winds, he slashed the air with his Tetsiuaiga.

"WindScar!" Inu-yasha yelled as he watched the attack heading directly at her.

The girl smiled gently before the blast completely obliterated the area she was in. At least… she was in it. No one could see her at the moment.

"Now, now…" A voice purred into Inu-yasha's ear. "You didn't even let me introduce myself…"

Turning around Inu-yasha saw the girl behind him.

"She's so fast…" Kagome said quietly.

"The name is Yume." She said with a small evil little laugh.

Inu-yasha backed up. He didn't even see her move. She smiled at him.

"I'm going to kill you all." She told him with a dark giggle.

Inu-yasha attempted to slash her with his Tetsiuaiga, but she moved, Inu-yasha couldn't even see her. He felt metal hit his arm, with force. The Tetsiuaiga went flying into a stone, becoming the useless sword it once was, the moment it hit.

Yume smiled. "Game over." She said as she backed Inu-yasha up against a tree. Her staff pushing on his throat. "Don't worry, this will only hurt for a minute…"

Miroku turned toward Kouga, he knew his Wind Tunnel wouldn't be fast enough to get her, not that he could use it now anyway. He'd just end up sucking Inu-yasha in too. Kagome was frozen in free while Sango prepared to throw her massive boomerang.

"Kouga, you're the only one fast enough to attack her!" Miroku cried knowing he was right.

Kouga didn't move. He didn't know what to do, Sango was watching, he couldn't be beat… or else she'd hate him even more then she already did…

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango called as she threw the massive weapon.

Yume quickly moved out of the way. It wasn't long enough for Inu-yasha to get away, as everyone noticed his face turning a light color of blue, his throat slowly being crushed.

"You're an annoying little human aren't you?" Yume hissed as she turned to Sango.

With a wave of her clawed hand, vines shot out from the ground and slashed at Sango. Quickly tangling her within the vines, Yume turned her attention back to the golden eyed man before her.

Kouga's eyes narrowed.

How dare she attack MY Sango!

End of Chapter 7

Preview for Chapter 8: Kouga vs. Yume! Kouga's finally out of the pity state, and is able to fight Yume. After that's all over, how will the now angry Kouga react to Miroku groping his mate-to-be?

Hey guys! Sorry this took so long to come out. School's going to start in like a week, so I don't know what I'll do! I'm in such a rush to finish everything I'm doing, though I won't rush fanfics… that way my chapters might still be good! But I will rush in finishing my room!

Speaking of Chapters of fanfics… Erm… did the action stink? I think it did… I probably stunk at it… Oh well… anyway, the fight will be finished in the next chapter. OH! That reminds me, none of the Yume's or Kage's are related from other stories. For some reason, I just really like to use those two names!

Okay I'm going to let you go right after two more things.

Okay this is going to sound dumb but if you like Kikyo or Kikyo/Inu then please read my new one-shot that came out, it's called Why did this happen to me, it's my first song-fic so be nice! No flames please…

here are, as usual, My Thank you's!

marryinelmo: I'm happy I choose you nick name! Apple sounded like the best choice to me!

SnowFox13: Thanks for the support! I'm so sorry your computer crashed! I hope it will it will be back up soon!

EVILkrazyMONKEYS: I love the name! Thanks for reviewing!

Brookie: Don't worry! He'll get her… eventually…

Satsu Death's Messenger: The only reason I thought it was kind of mad, is cause it seemed like you were mad or something… I'm probably just being crazy though! I just don't like Kagome too tell you the truth! Who wears a mini-skirt to Japan? The first time I can understand… but after that? I didn't really up-date soon… but I hope the next chapter will come out faster!

Cookiiex: hehehe… sorry I didn't up-date fast… I hope I'll be faster next time!

Okay, I hope to type the next chapter much faster then this one!

Love ya all!
