Inuyasha: Out of the Darkness

Ch. 10: The showdown between bloods

Kouga: This isn't funny mutt-face… (notices the blanket in Inuyasha's arms) What the hell is that!

Inuyasha: (being a smart ass) A baby you dunce! Now if you don't shut up, she'll be the one to kick your ass.

Kouga: It's another mutt! It's bad enough having one around, but now two… This is bullshit, you're gonna tell me where Kagome is mutt-face.

Inuyasha: Feh! If you want to know so bad, you'll follow me.

Inuyasha started to back track with the impatient Kouga on his heels. They quickly got down the mountain and passed the sacred tree. Kouga could smell the scent of faded blood. Inuyasha kept leading the wolf until he stopped. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder at Kagome's grave. He knew was in no condition to walk, let alone start a fight with Kouga, but he knew it would be coming to him. Kouga finally looked where Inuyasha did and almost croaked. He saw nothing but fresh dirt, and a stone with 'Kagome' engraved in it. Kouga was out raged and naturally blamed Inuyasha.

Kouga: Inuyasha you son of a bitch, how dare you let MY Kagome die!

Inuyasha: It wasn't my fault… I couldn't help her, and it hurts me a lot more than you Kouga. And what do you mean by YOUR Kagome.

Kouga: It doesn't matter, you're still to blame here mutt-face! You weren't there to protect her. I'll kill you and that cursed baby of yours. Now die Inuyasha!

Inuyasha: (holds out his hand) Stop! (Kouga pauses) You kill this baby and you kill me (Kouga starts to lunge) BUT! (he pauses again) You also kill what's left of Kagome. And if you kill me, you've destroyed everything you've "Worked" so hard to protect. You can kill us, but what would Kagome think?

Kouga: Damn you Inuyasha. You use that child as a crutch, cause you can't stay on your own damn feet. And if it's really Kagome's, prove it to me.

Inuyasha: (shows Kouga Makida, and he starts to walk away) You can kill me some other time, but no until she's older and can start taking care of herself.

Kouga was very angry at the last comment but Inuyasha had already left. Inuyasha returned to the mountain and heard some news about Kouga. They all said that he was thrown off a cliff, when he got into a fight with one of the elders. He just sat down on a stump and tried to sleep but a scent came upon him very quickly. He was in too much pain over Kagome to even pay attention to it. Then Ayame appeared out of the bushes near him but he was already asleep. She just laid on top of him waiting till he woke up. He soon opened his eyes and felt her warmth on his body.

Inuyasha: A… Aya… Ayame? Is that you?
Ayame: It's me, don't worry. Are you sure you're alright, you sound really hurt.

Inuyasha: You have room to talk? You sound just as bad.

Ayame: I lost Kouga yesterday, but you probably already knew that. So what ails you?

Inuyasha: Yeah I knew. It's just, I lost Kagome. She died on her way back home. I was too injured to even walk her home. Shesshomaru came by and killed her, but I think she put up a good fight before he was able to take her down. Anyway, I can't find comfort in anything anymore. I just need something to love.

Ayame: That's so sad, I'm sorry. I hope that you're alright, it must be painful to have a loved one be killed by your own blood.

Inuyasha: It hurts but I know it could have been worse now.

Ayame: Really? And how would that be? (notices the blanket) What's this…

Inuyasha: Don't touch her. She's all I have left.

Ayame: (growls) Shesshomaru.

Shesshomaru: So you aren't as stupid as you look. Now move aside wolf, I have business with Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: Ayame, as much as I hate to say it, take her for me will ya? And what do you want now? Aren't you satisfied yet? You've managed to tare me apart, what more do you want?

Shesshomaru: I am pleased I killed that little wench. But my life won't be complete until I destroy you… Now DIE!

Shesshomaru attacks Inuyasha, knowing he wouldn't put up much of a fight, but Inuyasha just stared him down. He tries to hit Inuyasha with his poisoned hand but stops before it makes contact with his face. 'What in the samn hell? Why doesn't he move. What is with his eyes?' Inuyasha took advantage of his broths disability to hit him, and knocks him away with the handle of tesuiga. Shesshomaru felt an erge to run away and he did so. Leaving everything he worked so hard for behind.

Ayame: Is it safe?

Inuyasha: Yeah, it's alright. I just want my baby back.

Ayame: Right, here.
