Title: Perfection's Price

Chapter 3

Kagome raced down the stairs and done the hall her heart pounding in her chest. The sounds of a slamming door behind her propelled her to keep moving foreword. She didn't pause at he front door, she didn't even pause at the gate. She just kept running and running. And she would have kept running still had a pair of strong arms not have caught her.

"Kagome! It's so good to see you!"

"Kouga?" Kagome blinked.

"But of course, I've come to rescue you!"

"Kouga!" Cried Kagome wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Are you alright? He didn't hurt you did he? If he hurt why I'll-" Kagome hugged him again.

"I'm fine. How ever did you find me?" Kagome asked.

"Inuyasha told me. That bastard! I won't let you go back to that mutt ever again. You'll be safe with me Kagome." Kagome smiled and hugged Kouga.

"You smell like Sesshoumaru you know."

"I do?"

"Yes." Kouga replied his voice dropping to a much lower tone. Kagome glance up. His eyes had turned slightly red and gave him a more sinister look.

"Kouga? Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." Replied Kouga, his grip tightening ever so lightly.

"Kouga let me go." Said Kagome pushing against him lightly.

"I'm afraid I can't do that Kagome." Said Kouga pulling her close he leaned in and kissed her hard.

Kagome stood in shock for a moment before shoving him hard trying to pull back. Kouga removed his offending lips and tilted his head so that her could kiss down her neck.

"Kouga!" Kouga ignored her and kissed hungrily down her neck growling lightly at her protest. With a free hand he slice open her shirt and shuffled to grasp her breast through her bra.

"Kouga stop! Pleas stop!" Cried Kagome fighting him with tears in her eyes. This was not her friend, this was a monster.

Then suddenly he was gone. Kagome blinked and covered herself in time to see a white blur launched himself at Kouga's fallen form.

Sesshoumaru charged at him his teeth bared. Kouga sprang up and retaliated both demon's eyes red with hatred for each other.

"Stop it!" Both ignored her as Sesshoumaru slashed at Kouga cutting his leg. Kouga howled and leapt at Sesshoumaru, who missed the attack by mere inches.

"Stop it you two!" Kouga sprung around and slashed cutting Sesshoumaru across the side. Sesshoumaru cried out and roared racking his nails across Kouga's arm. Kouga in turn leapt away raking his nails across Sesshoumaru's chest.

"Stop…please…" Came Kagome's broken voice from the sideline as she realized she was helpless t o stop either of them.

Sesshoumaru's eyes flared and he whipped out his whip and shot it at Kouga. Kouga leapt backwards, growled, then fled. Even he knew he was no match to Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru's body sagged and he collapsed to his knees. The pain of Kouga's claws hurt more than he expected and since they were demon inflicted they wouldn't heal immediately. Sesshoumaru's eyes returned to normal at the pain and for the first time he turned to look at Kagome.

Kagome was shaking from fear and relief all at once. Slowly she walked over to the hurt demon and collapsed to her knees next to him. Quickly she removed the rest of her shirt. It was ruined anyways and she still had a bra so it was ok. She quickly covered Sesshoumaru's wounds, and when she was almost done Sesshoumaru snatched her wrist, stilling her movements.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome, it was ruined anyways." She responded in nervousness. Sesshoumaru released her hand and wiped away moist tears fro her cheek. Sesshoumaru's body spasmed with pain and Sesshoumaru had to remove his hand to clutch his chest. Kagome placed an arm over her shoulder.

"Come on, let's get you home." Sesshoumaru stared at her for a moment and stood. Together they walked back to the castle.

Sorry it took so long, here you guys go. Hopefully my next chapter won't take so long.
