Chapter 9

Kagome ran as fast as she could and soon she made it to Sango's place. When her friend opened the door to out of breath Kagome she was beyond confused. "Kagome, I thought InuYasha was bringing you?" Sango's confusion turned to fear once she got a good look at Kagome. "Kagome?...What on earth happened?" Sango asked as she took her dear friend in her arms, and leading her inside. "I'll get the first aid kit, just relax here on the sofa, Kagome."

As Sango went for the kit and a few other things. Her mind raced with what happened. Kagome looked terrible, her feet were cut and bleeding. Her face look as if she'd been crying for days. 'Who or what did this to her, and why wasn't InuYasha with her like he said?' Even though Sango had so many thoughts of what if's. She knew it would be best to let Kagome tell, when she was ready that is. Still Sango feared whatever happened might happen again. Did someone hurt Kagome, were they after her? Could it be as she feared all along and Koga did this? A shiver went through Sango, as she finally got everything she needed and wondered if Koga would come here after Kagome.

Pushing all these bad thoughts away, Sango returned to Kagome and started working on her friend's injuries. To her surprise, Kagome started tell her everything that happened. From the part of Kouga and Kikyo to her running for her life to get away. "I must be dreaming, Sango this can't be happening. Kouga's a monster and so is that InuYasha guy, what do I do now?" Kagome's tears came harder as she remembered Kouga's hand going through InuYasha's stomach. If he did that to him, what was Kouga going to do with her?

Sango gasped. "Kagome, are you serious? That's not physically possible, InuYasha is surely dead if that's the case." Kagome shook her head no, and started telling her friend what Kouga called InuYasha. And how still wounded he still fought, even enough throw Kouga into a wall. As much as Sango wanted to believe Kagome, she wondered if blood loss made her friend this way. 'Is what she's telling me true or are her injuries so bad, that she thought she heard and saw these things?' Sango sighed, after these thoughts went through her mind. Then she decided maybe it would be best if she got Kagome to a doctor. "Kagome, I think we should go to the hospital. There's still pieces of glass in your feet, and I'm worried they could get infected."

Kagome agreed, though she really just wanted to hide. 'I don't think anyone can stop Kouga, he...he's a monster. And to think I was going to marry him.' Kagome thought, as Sango helped her up. Carefully Sango placed her in the car, and soon they were off to the hospital. As the car traveled at regular speed, Kagome kept a sharp eye out for Kouga. Never before had she feared someone like right now. She wondered how this was ever going to turn out right. Kouga made it very clear that he wasn't going to let her go willingly. And this InuYasha guy, who was he anyway? 'I can't really say if he's all bad, I mean he seemed to know I was in danger. And he did do what he could to help me escape, but..' Her good thoughts of InuYasha paused, as she remembered his hand taking her's and placing it on his big package. 'The nerve of him, like I wanted to touch that thing. I'm not ever talking to that pervert again!' Kagome was almost yelling in head.

Sango notice her friend was deep in thought, but wondered why her face suddenly became so red? "Kagome are you okay, you're face is all red?"

She froze. "Oh, um it's nothing. Just thinking about something stupid, I'm fine really." Kagome gave a nervous laughing, making Sango really wonder now. "Sango, in all honesty... I don't think InuYasha is like Kouga though. I mean InuYasha gave his life to save me. If he is still alive I need to at least thank him for that, even though he is a pervert."

Sango had to agree with her on that one. "Well Kagome, he did say he was going to help you somehow. He knew I was worried about you. I don't think he's bad at all really, just misunderstood. I think you should give him a chance as a friend at the very least. And really what man isn't perverted?" Sango said, as she started to laugh. Soon even Kagome was laughing too.

He woke with a pounding headache, everything was spinning as he set up. "Damn my head." Soon he remembered what happened. "That's right that dirty mutt did this, where is he?" Kouga started looking around the room, trying to find his prey. Most of the walls around him were destroyed, due to the force of InuYasha throwing him into them. "Show yourself mutt, I know you're here!" Still no answer. Taking a few good snuff, he noticed another smell. "So someone took your stinking ass did they? Well no matter I might not have killed you this time dog boy. Next time though I won't let you live, and Kagome when I find you. You'll pay for this as well."

As Kouga slowly stood her heard a voice, turning he saw Kikyo standing in the now broken down doorway. "What the hell are you doing her bitch?!" His hand went to his head, trying to stop the spinning. Still he found nothing helped and moved to sit on the couch that was still in one piece.

Coming closer Kikyo couldn't help but wonder if an earthquake did hit the house the way it looked. "Well first I'm here because you told me to meet you here this morning. And two, what the hell happened to this place and you?"

He suddenly remembered telling her to in fact meet him here. With everything that happened last night how could he not forget about them. "Fine, but you can go now. After all this I don't need sex, I want revenge!"

On the other side of the city another was waking up to different surrounds as well. He found himself laying on a bed in a dim lite room. Only his black jeans were still on his body, and his stomach was bandaged. As he opened his eyes a voice spoke one he never heard before, though the demon who spoke knew him. "Finally awake I see, pathetic half breeds. Father was a disgrace mating with that human and giving birth to someone so weak." The demon moved closer and InuYasha could finally see just was speaking. He was a tall demon and had silver hair much like InuYasha, even his eyes were golden. He worn modern clothes along with a red and white kimono that hung open.

Sitting up with a small groan, InuYasha asked. "Just who the hell are you, and why am I here?"

Giving a half smile the demon answered. "You really are pathetic InuYasha, you can't even tell who I am. Well little brother since you don't know. I'm Sesshomaru, and I've been looking for you a very long time. You have something I want, it was gifted to you years ago." Moving closer he pointed to the fang necklace around InuYasha's neck. "I want father's fang, with it I will forge the most powerful sword the world has ever known. And I Sesshomaru shall rule both humans and demons that walk this planet."
