So this chapter is gonna focus of Inuyasha. Okay let's recap... Inuyasha still has feelings for Kagome. Kagome is Kouga's mate now. Kouga and Kagome's make-out session is interrupted by news of Naraku's castle. They go to his castle and find Kikyo dying. Kagome has a potion that can heal her but refuses to give it up so easily. Inuyasha arrives after a romantic meeting with Kikyo. Is quickly angered after she dies and goes of to kill Naraku. So this is where we meet up with Inuyasha again.

Recap:

"What about Inuyasha?" Kouga looked a little shocked at first but soon found himself answering her. "If it makes you happy... I will catch Inuyasha as well..." She chuckled at his response. "I didn't mean it like that... I meant do you think he's gonna be alright?" Kouga blushed... Stupid, Stupid. He mentally punched himself. "Inuyasha's a big puppy dog... He'll be alright..." She was so comforted by his words. "Kagome..." She was so tired she just didn't have the strength to keep her eyes open anymore. "Kagome..." The event of Kikyo's death left her physically drain... slowly she drifted of into her fantasies... as slow as the heartbeats of Kouga's oh so near heart. Before she drifted off one thought crossed her mind. If this is how love feels... then I wish to be in love forever... forever...

Deep inhale, deep exhale. It'd been hours since he had left Kagome and Kouga and still there was no sign of Naraku. "DAMNIT!" He collapsed upon his knees. "WHERE ARE YOU, NARAKU!" He hung his head in exhaustion. He dropped and flipped himself unto his back. "Where..." He couldn't deny it. He needed rest. Slowly he allowed his eyes to flutter shut.

"Oh, hello brother..." He eyes flashed open. It was Sesshoumaru. "Damn..." He mumbled under his breath. "Dear brother why are you covered in blood... and oh yes where is that Kagome girl? I have a question to ask her." He sat up at his brother's call. It was bad enough without him around but now that he was here it was gonna get worst.

"Kikyo's dead..." Sesshoumaru didn't looked shocked at all. But for a heartless demon that was completely natural. "I'm not surprised..." He said while pacing around his still floored brother. "Huh?" Sesshoumaru knew something that he didn't. "Naraku told me he was going to kill her..." Inuyasha immedatly jumped to his bare feet and unsheathed Tetsusigia "What!" Inuyasha froze into attacking formation. "Remember... Naraku needed a miko's blood and the Shikon- no- tama to purify the Earth... well since Kagome made the wrong choice. He had to kill Kikyo. If she'd chosen you and this wouldn't of happen." Inuyasha collapsed to the floor again. He was too drained to fight Sesshoumaru right now. "What do you need to ask Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, falling upon his back. "I needed to ask her to ask Taksun and Ryouga to stay out of my lands..."

"Who?" Inuyasha asked. "Kouga's father and brother..."

"Kagome?" Kagome's eyes fluttered open at her lover's call. "Huh?" She muttered. She noticed that she was no longer in his arms but laid out on soft cushiony grass. How long had she been asleep? "What's wrong love?" He asked will nuzzling the crook of her neck. "Nothing... stop it." She managed to scream as she laughed uncontrollably. "Kouga stop it!" She chuckled. She couldn't stop laugh, she was to the point where she fell back. Still laughing mind you.

"No..." He nuzzled the soft flesh of her cheeks. He kissed her soft upon her lips. Then more aggressively. "Kouga..." He looked at her with intense passion. "Yes... love?" She gently kissed him. She fondled his face gently, running her fingers through his hair. "I... I love you..."

She shuttered. "Kagome..." He said. "What... sweetheart?" His eyes shimmered in the sunlight. "I love you too." His hand rubbed upon her hips and arms. And slowly she felt actually like she was in love... if this is how love truly feels... then I never wish to lose it...

"Does Kagome know?" Inuyasha asked. "Maybe... I'm not sure..." Sesshoumaru stated. "Don't worry about it... I'll tell her." She had left all her futuristic gizmos at the camp site, she'd have to come back. "Alright... I must go. Rin is calling me." So with that he faded into the sky. All but Rin's cries were heard. "LORD Sesshoumaru!" Yes, Sesshoumaru was very close to the human child. Perhaps something besides their father's demon blood had been passed to me.

"We should get going." Kagome said while slipping on her t-shirt. Kouga leaned unto her and softly kissed the area near her ear. "You are now part of the ookami..." He whispered softly into her ear . "Kouga I have to go back." She said, rising off the soft cushiony grass. "Why?" He asked taking her hand in his. "I left all my stuff with Inuyasha." Kouga looked slightly irritated. "Can't catch me!" She called sticking her tongue out at the ookami prince. "Oh yeah!" He said as she took off. "YEAH!" She was running as fast as she could and he looked like he was just jogging. "Gotcha!" He said flinging his arms around her waist and spinning her through the air. "Man!" She yelled as Kouga set her on ground level once more. "I win!" He laughed. "So my princess... what do I win?" He asked playfully nuzzling noses. "Hmmm..." She hummed. She pecked him quickly upon his lips. "THAT!" She escaped and started running down the hill towards her camp.

Inuyasha was enjoy the peace of his lonely walk. That was until a certain miko ran into his path. Looking back to make sure Kouga hadn't caught up to her yet she failed to notice a hanyou standing in her direct path. "Kagome?" He yelled as the unaware miko plowed him to the ground.

"Inuyasha!" She said pushing herself up. "Nice to see ya too..." He joked. The laughing stop instantly. "Inuyasha?" She notice a focused gaze. "Inuyasha?" She tapped his cheek trying to re-awake him from his daze. A hand shakily reached towards his leg. "What's wrong?" She was beginning to worry. His eyes shifted almost immediately. Within them they held an immense anger. They flashed red, then yellow, and then completely white. He throw Kagome, who up until now had been sitting upon his chest. "What the heck!" The anger flicked in his golden eyes. His fangs clenched together.

"What's this, Kagome!" He held a vile up to her, she immediately gasped. "You could have saved her!" He mounted a top her. "YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER!" He grabbed the collar of her muscle shirt. "Why didn't you?" She could see the intense pain swelling in his golden eyes. "Why didn't you..." He asked slowly bending over.

Kouga had reached them now. His eyes flashed as he saw the weeping hanyou mounted atop his mate. "Inuyasha!" He asked running at top speed towards him. He pulled Inuyasha off of Kagome by his lustrous mane of brilliant white hair. "She could have saved her!" He yelled while being pulled of the now sorrowful Kagome. "What is he talking about!" Kouga asked rather belligerently. "Kagome!"

She looked at him with red eyes. "He's... he's talking... talking about... Kikyo." She muttered in-between shutters. "What does he mean!" He focused completely on her.

"I...I could... could have... saved her life... with a p-potion..." Kagome shifted her gaze down in shame. "...kagome... why didn't you?" He voice quieted as he kneeled beside her. "Why?"

"Because... she'd caused me so much pain..." Kouga took her hands in his and kissed them gently. "Kagome... you let her die all because of you scorn?" He took her in his arms; embracing her tightly. "I'M SO... SO...S-SORRY!" She gasped between shutters. Inuyasha pulled her from her lover's embrace. "We need to talk..." He pulled to a bare area in the adjacent forest.

"Why... that's all I want to know." He said taking her hands in his. "Because... of what she'd taken from me!" She answered now slightly enraged. "What had she taken from you that was so important!" He asked making her look at him. "What!" He squeezed her hands. Her eyes went void for a second. Her grip eased and she looked down towards her feet.

"She... she took..." She rocked her arms back and forth. "She took... You..." She instantly twisted around and took a seat on the ground. "What?" He looked bewildered at her. "What?" He jerked her by her shoulders slightly. "She took you!" She yelled. "My first real love!"

"My first and true love... she took you from me." A dark shadow eclipsed her face. "I could never have you because... because the only person... the only woman you ever thought about as a lover.. Was her!" Small slivers of tears coursed down her face. "You could never love me... like you did her!" Her fist clenched; her knuckles faded white. "Even when you were gonna kiss me... you called out her name instead!" She jerked as she spoke. "I'm not scared... Kikyo..." Kagome jolted back at the hearing of the words.

He recalled the words he had so easily spoken. "But to let her die..." Kagome's shoulders squared and her back straightened. " I wanted her to die like my love for you had... hard and filled the uncomparable pain of lose..." She winced. "I'm sorry... Kagome... didn't know I had caused you so much... so much pain." He now felt guilty.

"And no matter how many times I kiss or hug Kouga... I still wish it was you instead of him..." She said with intense regret. She got up. She looked at him passionately. "I really liked when you kissed me earlier..."Slowly she kissed him and touched his arms, his chest, his neck, and his face. "But I didn't want you to know that..." She kissed him deeper. "Because I was his..." He eased in her lips' embrace. He couldn't help but kiss her back. He wanted to kiss her. He didn't care what Kouga would say... he still wanted and loved Kagome. He didn't care...

Well that was kinda... confusing wasn't it? Why is Kagome kissing Inuyasha? Isn't she married to Kouga? Why is this happening! Questions I'm sure all of you are asking. And killing kikyo really didn't have anything to do with the plot... I just hate her guts! And that's why I'm making her one of the villains in this story. IN YOUR FACE KIKYO LOVERS! No disrespect in any way of course. Well stick around... a lot more dramatic stuff is gonna happen.

Adios,
