What Lies Beneath The Eyes: Chapter 5

We were walking down the path to a village, when Inuyasha started sniffing. "What is it, Inuyasha? Do you smell something?" I asked. Inuyasha suddenly growled, when I asked that question. Did I say something wrong?

"I smell wolves..." he scowled

"Wolves?" I questioned, curious.

"Yeah. Scrawny wolves..."

Kagome suddenly, piped up and turned towards Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, I can sense a jewel shard and it's closing in quickly." she said. What is she talking about?

Before I could ask, something that looked like a whirlwind came whirling towards us. Inuyasha stood in front of Kagome to protect her, but sadly got trampled over towards Kagome. "Hi, Kagome. How you've been?" asked a guy, with long black hair pulled up in a high pony tail. He was wearing a brown fur that looked like a skirt. with fur also on his armor and his legs and arms. And he had a wolf tail, wagging back and forth. For some odd reason, I watched as he was holding Kagome's hands in his, looking into her eyes, while she laughed with embarrassment. "So Kagome, has mutt face been treating ya?" he asked Kagome, who looked embarrassed and slightly uncomfortable.

"Of course he has, Koga." She said

I watched as Inuyasha was flattened like a pancake on the ground. He looked like he was having trouble getting up, so I decided to help him up. "Are you okay, Inuyasha? Are you hurt?"I asked as he stood up on his own two feet.

"Yeah, I'll live." he said with a smirk, but soon turned into a frown, when Inuyasha felt a fist connect with his head.

"Hey mutt, what did you do to Kagome while I was gone?" asked the guy named Koga with anger in his voice.

Inuyasha just growled and turned towards Koga. "Nothing, you mangy wolf. Why you even ask? Kagome's not interested in me, dumbass!" Inuyasha yelled in Koga's face. I flinched at the volume of Inuyasha's voice. I've seen Inuyasha angry before, but not like this.

Koga turned back to Kagome and walked over to her. "Is it true, Kagome? Is it true that you're in love with mutt face?" he asked holding her hands. Obviously he didn't get the message. Inuyasha just said that he and Kagome did not have interest in each other.

I turned to Inuyasha and tapped him on his shoulder. "Inuyasha," he turned to face me. "Is this person, "Koga" in love with Kagome?" I asked in a whisper.

Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah. Even though she says that she's not in love with that mangy wolf, he still doesn't give up." he explained.

"But aren't you in love with Kagome?" I asked.

Inuyasha looked at as if I lost it. "No! What are you, nuts!"

"Then who are you in love with?"

He glared at me, playfully. "No one. Now, mind you own business."

I giggled slightly at his childish behavior. "All right, fine."

(No one's P.O.V)

As a few minutes, or so passed, Koga was still flirting with a confused Kagome, still holding her hands, when Koga noticed something that was missing. "Why in the hell isn't mutt face yelling at for hitting on you?" he asked.

Kagome just shrugged, acting as if she didn't know why. But on the inside, she did know why and she didn't want anyone to know, but Sango, Moka, and herself. 'Aww. They look so adorable.' thought Kagome as she watched Inuyasha and Moka communicate with each other, for the very first time. 'Time to play matchmaker.' smirked Kagome.

Shippo jumped on Koga's shoulder. "Hey Koga, Inuyasha's new love is that girl." he said and he pointed to Moka, who stood next to Inuyasha, having a conversation with him.

Koga looked over to where Shippo had pointed. He stared glarely at Elise who was smiling as she and Inuyasha talked. 'Pretty.' Thought Koga. Who wouldn't think the word "pretty"? She was more than pretty, she was beautiful. She practically looked like a goddess in his eyes. Her long pink hair was flowing gracefully down her shoulders. He loved the way her hair shined in the sun. But she didn't look any better than Kagome... or did she? Koga, then tried to come up with something to tell Kagome, so he can have Moks as his woman. He then got an idea.

"I'm sorry, Kagome." Koga said, letting go of Kagome's hands.

"Huh? What?" she stuttered slightly, astonished by his actions.

"Your heart already belongs to someone else, right?" Koga asked as Kagome only gave a shrug, not really knowing what to say. "Of course" he grunted. "Don't worry. It is my happiness to see you happy, Kagome." Koga said as Kagome gave out a deep sigh of relief.

'He finally gave up' Kagome thought with a sigh. She looked at him, suspiciously. 'But what is he up to?'

"Anyway," he said as he walked over to a certain someone.

(Moks's P.O.V)

I was happily chatting away with Inuyasha, when I felt someone put an arm around my shoulders, pulling me out of the conversation that Inuyasha and I was having. "who is this lovely girl?" he asked as he held my shoulders, which made me feel slightly uncomfortable. I could hear Kira growled from behind me. I knew she didn't like the idea of strangers touching me.

Inuyasha just stood there, not looking too happy. I've seen Inuyasha angry before, but like this. "Let go of her, Koga!" Inuyasha demanded as he tried to pushed Koga away from me, but Koga was holding my hands in his.

"What is your name, Miss?" Koga asked me curiously.

"Moka." I responded, feeling uncomfortable.

"Elise." he repeated as if it was a good taste in his mouth. "That's a pretty name."

"Um...T-Thank you...I guess..."

Inuyasha appeared in front of me, separating Koga from me , while glaring at him. "Get away from her, Koga. What do you want fwith her, anyway! I thought you were loyal to Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted.

Koga just smirked. "Move, mutt face. Moka is my woman now." he said trying to persuade Inuyasha out of the way, but wouldn't budge. "I mean it, mutt face! Get your hands off my woman!" he yelled.

"E-Excuse me?" I asked meekly, not believing my ears. He wants me as his wife here and now? What about how I feel?

Inuyasha just stood there in front of me. "Your woman?" he mused, glaring at him. "Feh. As if." he said. "Why bother, when she's not even gonna like you, you mangy wolf?" he smirked

Koga just stood there, growling at Inuyasha. "See you around, mutt face. And I'll see you later, Moka." he said, smiling at me and he ran off. I waved awkwardly as I watched him fun off.

"Strange man." I whispered.

"Tell me about it." Inuyasha agreed, obviously hearing me.

"Does he come here to visit Kagome, more often?"

"Not really. It'll be best if he didn't visit, otherwise I'll split him in half." As all of us continued to walk.

I scooted slightly closer to him, making sure that I was next to his ear. "Are you sure that you're not in love with Kagome?" I whispered, so the group wouldn't hear.

"No! Now, quit buggin' me about it!" I only giggled. "Feh. Come on, we got to go find a place to rest." Inuyasha said, with a light blush gracing his cheeks. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This is the first time I've seen him blush. He began to walk towards the east once again. I just followed suit and smiled. Inuyasha was back to his normal self again. I smiled at the others as well as they did, then went after Inuyasha. The rest of the time we walk, no one really talked except Sango and Kagome, who both would talk about random things with the others, throwing in their own comments occasionally.

Else where...

(No one's P.O.V)

Koga sat in his cave with his pals, letting them do whatever they wanted as he thought of a plan to make Moka his woman. Suddenly, Koga piped up. 'I got it! I'll get my wolves to attack that mutt face and while their dealing with him, I'll swiftly snatch Moka in one peace and make her my mate.' Koga thought as let out a victorious laugh, getting weird looks from his comrades.

"Has he gone mad?"

"I don't know."

"I hope not."

Said one of his comrades.

The next morning...

(Elise's P.O.V)

Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, me and Shippo were walking on a rock cliff, when we saw wolves jump out of nowhere at Inuyasha, tackling him off the cliff.

"Inuyasha!" I screamed as he began falling far away. I looked to the rest of the wolves, who were growling at us. "Oh no." The wolves just ran past me over to Miroku, Sango, and Kagome.

Shippo jumped on my shoulder, rubbing his face against mine. "Moka, I'm scared." he cried in fear.

"I am too, Shippo." I replied.

"Moka, lookout!" yelled Kagome. I looked over to see Koga, advancing towards me.

I turned to run, but I wasn't quick enough. He had already swiftly grabbed my waist and hung me over his shoulder. I started to kick and scream, but Kouga was running lightning speed. "Now she's mine mutt face!" he yelled with victorious in voice as he jumped off a cliff with Shippo clinging on to me.

"LET ME DOWN! INUYASHA!" I screamed, calling Inuyasha for help.

"MOKA!" I heard Inuyasha call my name. "Don't worry, when I'm through with these mangy wolves, I'll save you!" he shouted.

"INUYASHA! HELP ME!" I screamed as loud as I can.

I hope Inuyasha will keep his word. I hope he does.
