Koga moved Kagome behind him as he stood to face off with Naraku. "You aren't beating me this time, Naraku." the wolf spat out as he cracked his knuckles. A thick silence covered the clearing as the two faced off. Yet, before the fight could begin, the tension was cleanly cut by a loud yell.

"KAGOME! Get away from her, you bastards!" Inuyasha's voice rang out across the clearing.

Inuyasha!

Chapter 14

Inuyasha! Kagome thought in relief as she caught sight of him. Naraku narrowed his eyes at the hanyou as Kagome ran to her savior's side. She would have attacked wit ha hug if a dangerous villain wasn't right behind her. Koga glared at the inu hanyou for a moment and Naraku took advantage of the distraction. Tentacles suddenly grew from his body, the first one hitting Koga right in the stomach sending him flying into the nearest tree.

"Koga!" Kagome gasped. She'd almost forgotten about him in her relief upon seeing Inuyasha.

"This fight is between us now, Naraku." Inuyasha growled facing his opponent. "No one steals my Kagome."

Did he just call me… Sango and Miroku appeared behind Kagome just then, cutting her thoughts short as the fight between hanyous began.

"Kagome!" Sango exclaimed, giving her a quick relieved hug.

"Here Kagome, I thought you might need these," said Miroku handing the bow and arrows to her.

"Thanks Miroku!" Kagome said, noticing that she and her friends were still dressed for the festival, weapons and all. Just then the three heard more noise and looked up to see many low level demons flying towards them. Sango and Miroku prepared to fight. Kagome yelped slightly remembering Koga again. She wasn't about to leave him defenseless if he wasn't injured. He'd proven he had some good in him and that was enough for Kagome. "I'm going to make sure Koga is alright!" she yelled as she ran over towards where she saw he'd landed.

"No need to," said a voice in her ear. Coming to an abrupt halt, Kagome turned to see the wolf giving her a toothy grin.

"Are you alright?" she asked concerned but still wary. After all, he had just been under the control of Naraku.

"I'm fine, but dog breath over there looks like he's tiring."

"Am not you piece of shit!" retorted Inuyasha as he slashed through another tentacle. This isn't getting me anywhere. Inuyasha had been hacking at the tentacles in an attempt to get closer to Naraku's actual body. So far he'd accomplished nothing, and Naraku wasn't giving him enough time to use the windscar either. If he could somehow distract Naraku…

A blue arrow flew through the air towards the man. Naraku looked to see where it came from and Inuyasha took the opportunity to yell "WIND SCAR!". The arrow and windscar hit Naraku, exploding in a flash of dazzling light. The effort seemed to have been pointless as the companions watched a wooden doll fall to the ground.

"Another puppet!" Inuyasha growled.

"Hey dog turd, where's Kagome?"

"I thought she was just with you" Sango said as she finished off the last of the youkai.

"I lost her when the puppet was destroyed.

"You useless piece of shit! What'd you do to her?" Inuyasha yelled outraged.

"Who are you calling useless?? You couldn't even protect Kagome when she was kidnapped!" the wolf yelled back.

"YOU kidnapped her in the first place bastard!"

"Ahem," Miroku cleared his throat before the two could go any further with their argument. "Was this not just in Kagome's hair?" he asked, picking up a white hair tie from the ground.

Inuyasha quickly grabbed it and sniffed. "It smells like Naraku," he growled, "and not just the stupid puppet either…"

"He must have taken her when we were all distracted by his puppet." Sango said.

All turned to see Koga's wide eyes as he whispered, "He took her took…" the naturally brass youkai shuddered remembering the torture… "to Macabre…"
